Orlando-Based FuelClinic.Com Awarded Second Place in Global Competition to Find Solutions to Traffic Congestion, Road Safety
SANFORD - FuelClinic.com, a web-based information clearinghouse that focuses on fuel efficiency, was recently awarded second place in a global competition to identify new technologies to make transportation more efficient.
The competition, hosted by ITS America---the U.S. division of the Intelligent Transportation Society---was sponsored by IBM and venture capital group Spencer Trask to uncover technologies that will help create “smarter cities” and decrease traffic congestion, improve road safety, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen commerce.
Michael Bragg, founder and chief technical officer at Compendium Software Systems, LLC, the parent company of FuelClinic.com, said 116 startup companies from more than 20 countries participated in the ITS Congestion Challenge.
FuelClinic.com’s website placed second in the competition, which included a brief summary of the programs, an executive summary, a global online question-and-answer session and examination by a panel of experts.
The competition was judged by a global community of more than 4,000 people, including transportation industry professionals and the general public, which selected three winners and six finalists from Hungary, Ireland, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United States.
iCarpool.com, headquartered in Issaquah, Wash., took first place in the competition and the $50,000 grand prize.
While there were no cash awards for second place, Bragg said the exposure had a silver lining. A Brazilian group---Believe Sustainability---asked FuelClinic.com to help it develop a program to reduce carbon emissions in Sao Paulo, one of the world's most densely populated cities.
FuelClinic.com is a global web community with more than 3,000 registered users in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Brazil, the U.K., and Europe. Bragg projects FuelClinic.com will host more than one million users worldwide within five years. Registration at FuelClinic.com is free for non-commercial use.

Timber Creek High School Color Guard Places Seventh in National Competition against 87 Top Teams in Dayton, Ohio
ORLANDO – Timber Creek High School’s 21-member color guard placed seventh nationally against 87 high school teams in the recent Winter Guard competition in Dayton, Ohio–the “Super Bowl” for high school color guard competition.
Devin Hoey, associate director of the Timber Creek Regiment, located in Avalon Park in East Orlando, said the team – which includes 20 young ladies and one young man – placed second in their semi-final routine and seventh in the Scholastic A Class category comprising the nation’s largest high schools.
“These young people worked very hard to make it to the A Class finals,” Hoey said. “They held fundraisers and car washes throughout the fall semester to earn the money to pay for the trip and they have been practicing almost every day,” he said.
Michael James is designer and choreographer for the Timber Creek High School Regiment, and staff members Stevenson Lumapas, Shannon Jenkinson and Justin Andrade assisted in preparing them along with band directors Rhett Cox and Hoey.

Baton Rouge Financial & Real Estate Consultant Knows the Solutions to America’s Present Economic Woes
BATON ROUGE - When the extent of the U.S. economic collapse began to unfold three years ago, Pete Goff, Jr., wasn’t surprised. He’d been watching it closely for some time. From the inside.
“From my perspective it was like watching a car crash in slow motion,” Goff said. “I saw it happening but was not in a position to prevent it.” Goff decided he must take action.
He began an obsessive study of macro economics. Armed with degrees in Business Administration and Accounting from LSU and more than 25 years of experience as a lender, builder, and development consultant, Goff has a solid grasp of the economy---finance, accounting, and fiscal policy.
Now his analysis of our economic problems, complete with solutions, are ready to be made public. “The solutions are not simple, but they’re achievable,” Goff said recently. The Inevitable Path, from beginning to end, is an honest assessment of America’s economic problems, the mistakes that caused them, and solutions required to remedy them.
He’s about to complete his first book, The Inevitable Path, that’s being shopped to U.S. publishers. And he has something worth reading: the step-by-step solution to America’s economic turmoil.
One of the fist steps Congress must undertake, Goff said, is to reenact the Glass-Steagall Act in its original form. Coincidence or not, Glass-Steagall worked for 66 years, but only 8 years after its 1999 repeal, the entire financial system collapsed.
“Repeal of Glass-Steagall allowed the self-regulate and self-correct philosophy of our financial and government “leaders” that led directly to the economic collapse,” Goff said.
There are six street-level changes providing a “three-year plan” to return America to economic stability. These solutions are proven methods to substantially restore the U.S. housing market---the nation’s most significant accumulation of wealth---and spur new development.
“The Inevitable Path focuses on practical, prescriptive changes Congress and bank regulators could undertake immediately,” Goff explained. “We can posture and point fingers for the next decade, but that won’t solve our economic dilemma.”* * *

RedTail at Heathrow Golf Community Revives Dream of Country Estate Homes with Luxury Golf Course
ORLANDO - RedTail, a Heathrow golf community, located west of Heathrow in Sorrento, is reviving the tradition of luxury country club homes in Central Florida, starting at $399,999.
Richard D. Bavec, project general manager at RedTail, said the award-winning RedTail Golf Club, a links-style layout designed by Dave Harman and dotted with century-old oak trees and azaleas, ranks as one of the region’s finest courses.
Brentwood Custom Homes, one of RedTail’s “Builder Partners,” has a four-bedroom, three-bath luxury home available for sale at RedTail with 2,415 square feet of living space priced at $399,999.
Luxury homes at RedTail are selling, Bavec said. Recently, a custom built, five-bedroom home with a six-car garage overlooking the tenth green, sold for $1.55 million.
“The luxury homes market is less affected by the real estate downturn compared to the rest of the housing market,” Bavec said. “Luxury golf estates, oceanfront condominiums and Manhattan apartments probably rank among the most desired examples of luxury lifestyles and we’re beginning to see a strong comeback here at RedTail,” Bavec said.
There are 24 home sites available in the current phase at RedTail. The community’s covered bridge entrance is located along SR 46A just north of SR 46 in Lake County. The new home sales center opens Monday through Saturday at 9 a.m. and on Sunday at 11 a.m.
