EnablePay Helps Merchants Eliminate Unnecessary Credit Card Transaction Fees
Savvy retailers feeling the economic pinch on their profits are looking for smart ways to reduce unnecessary spending. One such area - credit card and debit card processing fees - has long been a part of "simply doing business." But these merchant card transaction processing fees have recently come under increasing scrutiny as credit and debit card industry rates have been made more transparent. Recognizing the need to provide a better option to merchants, a group of payment card and financial industry veterans launched a new company - EnablePay - in mid 2007, to help retailers and other merchants keep more of their profits. Today the company is announcing that, following the closing of a $2 million private placement last July, it plans to expand by opening additional offices in New York and Indiana. Merchants looking for savings and better customer service are encouraged to contact EnablePay at 1-866-509-1322 or by visiting http://www.EnablePay.com and to send in their most recent merchant services statement for analysis so they can compare and see exactly what type of savings EnablePay can offer.

Readers Find Hope, Inspiration, and Even Humor, In Aftermath of Tragedy
The world just witnessed an entire US city ravaged by the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. Many lost loved ones, jobs, and homes, causing great emotional pain. Those suffering have experienced feelings of hopelessness, sadness, anger, and even thoughts of suicide -- all symptoms of depression. Many may not realize they are experiencing depression or that depression is a treatable medical condition. In fact, depression affects 19 million Americans.
After losing a brother-in-law to suicide, Jeff Alt and his wife, Beth, decided to take a hike. They hiked the 218-mile John Muir Trail across Californias Sierra Nevada mountain range as a depression awareness campaign to spread the word that depression is treatable (most suicides are the result of untreated depression). Their story is recounted in Alts new book, "A Hike For Mike: An Uplifting Adventure Across the Sierra Nevada for Depression Awareness."
