JumpForward Releases its Social Media Monitoring Solution at the 2012 NCAA Convention

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 09, 2012

JumpForward (http://www.jumpforward.com) LLC, the leading recruiting and compliance solution provider for collegiate athletic departments, is unveiling its Social Media Monitoring Solution this week at the 2012 NCAA convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. JumpForward?s Compliance Toolbox currently provides collegiate institutions with policies, procedures, and controls to proactively prevent NCAA compliance violations.


The Social Media Monitoring Solution, which is another add on module to the Compliance Toolbox, helps collegiate institutions protect their brand name by monitoring and recording detailed activity on 24 of the most popular social websites including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Yelp, and eBay. In addition to the detailed analysis of the most popular sites, the key word search engine monitors virtually every social website for words and phrases that are identified by the university. Any potential issues are automatically sent via email or text to staff members.


The information is gathered to create detailed reports that can be used to protect a university?s brand name, to educate student athletes about proper social media usage, and to prevent possible NCAA violations before they occur. The Social Media Monitoring Solution combined with JumpForward?s new Rules Education Solution creates a powerful combination in educating and monitoring university brand ambassadors before violations occur.


?Many of our customers have expressed concern about their ability to monitor the entire internet on top of all of their other requirements? said Brad Niedermaier, President of JumpForward. ?The JumpForward Social Media Monitoring Solution answers these concerns by helping coaches and administrative staffs to tackle this enormous task thoroughly, effectively, and efficiently.?

Remarkable Women of Taos 2012 Features First Opportunity to See Unknown Photography, Letters, Art of Millicent Rogers & Agnes Martin

Taos, NM (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

On March 22, 2012 actress, activist and Northern New Mexico resident Marsha Mason and other notables will launch the yearlong Remarkable Women of Taos and Northern New Mexico program at the Harwood Museum. Remarkable Women focuses on exploring, celebrating and experiencing the exceptional and adventurous women who have been drawn to the freedom and beauty of Taos and Northern New Mexico for decades, particularly artists. The commencement is the 100th birthday of well-known remarkable woman of Taos, Agnes Martin?the internationally celebrated mid-century abstract expressionist?and the Harwood Museum will showcase an exhibition of her little-known early works. Beginning in January 2012, events such as behind-the-scenes art tours and exhibitions featuring the remarkable women begin?all part of the community-wide celebration of the transformative Taos mystique. 2012 also marks the Centennial of New Mexico?s Statehood, with the March 22nd kick off an official New Mexico State Centennial Committee event.


Creative women?visual, literary, musical?have been continually inspired by Taos and its Northern New Mexico location; a host of special museum and gallery exhibitions affirms this truth. Taos has attracted and inspired many who seek societal, artistic and personal freedom to invent?or reinvent?themselves.


?I came here to get away from a whole lot of stuff that could have turned me into a person that I wouldn't have been comfortable with as I got older,? said Ali MacGraw, actor and Northern New Mexico resident. ?I think that's true of many, in particular women, in New Mexico. I know many, many, many of them who have almost reinvented themselves, maybe not in the dramatic self-conscious way that Mabel Dodge Luhan did, but we all know that there's a bunch of stuff that has to get shucked.?


The impressive list of remarkable women includes Taos Modernist Beatrice Mandelman, arts patron and salon hostess Mabel Dodge Luhan, the drop-dead gorgeous high society model, designer and Standard Oil heiress Millicent Rogers, and renowned San Ildefonso Pueblo potter Maria Martinez. Museums, galleries and institutions with events relating to the 2012 Remarkable Women of Taos & Northern New Mexico include: the University of New Mexico Harwood Museum of Art, the Millicent Rogers Museum, the E.L. Blumenschein House, Hacienda de los Martinez, Mabel Dodge Luhan House, Mesa?s Edge, Rane Gallery, the Parks Gallery, Taos Institute of Glass Art (TIGA), the Red Willow Market at Taos Pubelo (a UNESCO living world heritage cultural site and National Historic Landmark) and more.


SPECIAL TRAVEL ITINERARIES/TOURS: Remarkable Women is aimed at enabling travelers to experience the transformative power of Taos through the creativity and adventure of historic women, as well as that of contemporary women. YouTube videos at the Taosmosis Channel will connect to online biographies of Remarkable Women?each providing ?favorite places? in Northern New Mexico that travelers can visit today. And, special self-guided as well as paid tour itineraries are online for those wishing to delve deeper into Taos? special heritage, culture, wild beauty, creative community and outdoor adventure?as alive today as it was 100 years ago. Events, exhibitions, profiles and videos are being added weekly, so check back in early 2012 for even more offerings.

Producer Nicholas George Finds an Adopted Dog Actress has Stolen the Show From Beautiful Women and a Comedian in his Latest 2012 Super Bowl Commercial ?Good Doggie?

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

Producer Nicholas George was busy releasing the revised edition of his filmmaking book, Film Crew: Fundamentals of Professional Film and Video Production, when he got a call from Endi Entertainment director De Veau Dunn. That call would ultimately lead to the casting of an adopted rescue dog, named Sasha, which would change both of their lives forever.


De Veau informed Nicholas that production was a go on ?Good Doggie?, their proposed 2012 Super Bowl commercial entry. ?I immediately put out a casting call for a unique dog actor,? said George, ?and when Sasha?s submission came in, De Veau and I both knew instantly that we wanted to work with her.? According to George, De Veau had been rehearsing with a cat burglar Halloween mask while creating his digital storyboards for their upcoming ?Good Doggie? Super Bowl commercial. ?Sasha?s eyes had these incredibly rare markings that looked much like the cat burglar mask? it was truly uncanny and quite synchronistic.?


Sasha came in for the audition and captivated the entire film crew. ?It is definitely energizing to be in a room with Sasha, she has a rare charisma and star quality about her.? Sasha has already been asked to be the spokes-dog for an organization called Save a Dog Day, which is dedicated to bringing awareness to rescue dogs and their success stories as well as providing links to valuable information to those looking to adopt a dog at http://www.saveadogday.org/. The Save a Dog Day organizers have told me that their web traffic has increased dramatically since Sasha?s ?Good Doggie? video and dog adoption story has been featured on their website. They also mentioned that so many animal supporters and dog rescue groups are re-tweeting Sasha?s pet adoption success story on the @SaveDogDay twitter account available via https://twitter.com/#!/SaveDogDay, animal lovers are really getting behind this angelic little underdog.


George also noted that he has personally had the life enhancing experience of taking in a rescue dog. After the ?Good Doggie? video shoot wrapped, another filmmaker asked what it was like working with a dog? George replied, ?Sasha was the least complex actress I?ve ever worked with. She didn?t require a private dressing room and was quite content sprawled out on the kitchen floor?s cool tile during her breaks. Then again, she did insist on a particular brand of Doggie treats between takes.?


?Good Doggie? director, De Veau Dunn, is also very passionate about dog adoption and encourages people to look into adopting a dog as a loving alternative when they are considering going out and buying a dog. When the pair co-wrote ?Good Doggie?, which can be viewed at the 2012 Doritos Crash The Super Bowl website, if you search the 10 ten most viewed 2012 Super Bowl commercials, Dunn wanted to somehow get the message out to adopt a dog. With nearly 50,000 views on the Crash the Super Bowl website in under a month, ?Good Doggie? has been getting a great deal of exposure, but due to time constraints the director?s cut is the only version of ?Good Doggie? which includes a call to action message in support of rescue dogs in the video, this version is only available on De Veau Dunn?s YouTube channel.


George also noted receiving a surge in newsletter sign-ups on http://www.filmandvideoproduction.net, where information on his popular filmmaking book ?Film Crew? is available. ?I think people just want to know more about producing commercials as well as YouTube videos that can reach a large audience.? Ironically, Sasha?s performance has propelled ?Good Doggie? into the spotlight. ?... but knowing that Sasha being an adopted rescue dog is bringing so much awareness to the need for dog adoption, that really seems to be serving a greater good.?
