      <title>Haven House: A Shelter from the Woolsey Fire Devastation</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">As the undisputed leader of addiction treatment niche in Southern California, Haven House is dedicated to sheltering the substance abuse clients that were displaced by the Woolsey Fire.</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 11/23/2018 --  The Woolsey Fire, which was first reported on November 8, is said to have burnt close to 100,000 acres and razed over 1,500 structures in the Santa Monica Mountain area. With an unprecedented scale of devastation, the 151-square-mile wildfire has left destruction and death in its wake, scything through everything in its path: homes, businesses, the seaside, and even the "Rehab Riviera".<br />
<br />
The "Rehab Riviera" is a string of rehabilitation centers that line the Malibu coast; a hitherto picturesque location for both local and foreign clients who seek serene, yet structured detoxification programs. At least a score of such centers (including Seasons in Malibu and Creative Care) suffered varying degrees of destruction with a number of their clients displaced. This implies that a lot of rehabilitation programs and the mental and physiological health of countless clients are threatened unless these displaced clients find succor; one of several, immaterial yet significant collateral damages that attend disasters of this proportion.     <br />
<br />
However, like the proverbial silver lining in the storm, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Haven House Addiction Treatment" href="http://havenhouseaddictiontreatment.com">Haven House Addiction Treatment</a> center offers a ray of hope as it attempts to cushion the effect of Nature&apos;s attack on the sober living industry by providing sober living facilities for those clients displaced by the Woolsey Fire. With their capacity to render men and women sober living facilities, Haven House has thus far assisted over a dozen clients and staff from affected facilities with temporary housing.<br />
<br />
They also offer their residents upscale amenities such as semi-private rooms (with a few private rooms in the men&apos;s house), media rooms, spacious living room, large kitchen and a recreation room with a computer. The housing gives the addict a great opportunity to use the tools learned in treatment while living in a supported sober living environment of recovery. Haven House&apos;s Residential Treatment and Sober Living housing are staffed by highly trained professionals, seasoned by years of working in the area of Addiction Treatment.<br />
<br />
Since its inception in 2004, Haven House has established itself as the undisputed leader in the field addiction treatment in the Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and Century City areas. Located in Beverly wood, Haven House is the ideal option for those clients in the Southern California area whose rehabilitation centers were destroyed by the Woolsey Fire.<br />
<br />
It is dedicated to dispensing long-term sobriety via a recovery program which assists those who struggle with the transition process of recovery from Residential Treatment to living on their own again. As such, displaced rehab clients cannot wish for a better shelter from the aftermath of the Woolsey Fire.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Jeremy Stanton<br />Founder<br />Haven House Treatment Centers<br />Telephone: 1-424-258-6792<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/1090360">Click to Email Jeremy Stanton</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://havenhouseaddictiontreatment.com">https://havenhouseaddictiontreatment.com</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=1090360&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>Entrepreneur Explains the Importance of Corporate Responsibility</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Shay Yavor, A Published Entrepreneur, Gives Insight on What to Do When Bad Things Happen</p><p>Santa Monica, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/16/2018 --  Bad things can happen to a company at any time. Sometimes there is nothing the company can do, but other times, the company is at fault for the mistake. The best way to rebuild confidence in the company, according to real estate expert Shay Yavor, is to own up to that mistake and show how you will learn from it in the future. <br />
<br />
In a recently <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="published article" href="https://pitchengine.com/nickijenns/2018/06/1%204/5-vital-qualities-for-entrepreneurial-%20leaders/002518732968058786710">published article</a>, Yavor was quoted as saying, "Every business has its ups and downs and when something bad happens that creates bad publicity for a company, the worst thing that you can do as a company is to not take responsibility. I think it&apos;s interesting how Uber, Wells Fargo, and FB - that have all been part of recent scandals - have chosen to respond. All three have actual commercials right now addressing their mistakes and how they will rededicate themselves as companies to make sure that going forward, everything they do will be above board. At the end of the day, everybody understands that mistakes happen and they respect when people take responsibility."<br />
<br />
The article, titled "5 Vital Qualities for Entrepreneurial Leadership", outlines that to be an entrepreneur, you must be a leader, and one that owns up to the mistakes of the company should they occur. As the owner, the company lives and dies by your actions, whether successful or not. These qualities are then passed on to the team below leadership, making leading by example one of the greatest assets of company leadership.<br />
<br />
The five most important qualities as outlined in the article include:<br />
<br />
1. A vision for the future<br />
2. Take care of personal development<br />
3. Communicate open and directly<br />
4. Unique ability to adapt<br />
5. Fearlessness in taking risks<br />
<br />
Regardless of whether you are in real estate or financial planning, in order to lead an effective and successful company, these traits are vital to the overall health of the company, something that experts like Yavor all agree on. Without these qualities, running a successful business might be difficult or even impossible for some entrepreneurs.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Shay Yavor<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/1012330">Click to Email Shay Yavor</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://laprfirm.com">https://laprfirm.com</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=1012330&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>How the Trump Tax Plan Might Impact Real Estate Development</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">It has recently explained in an article the effects of Trump Tax Plan and the effects which it might have on real estate development. The article explores the Tax Cut and Jobs Acts, notably referenced as TCJA.</p><p>North Hollywood, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 07/12/2018 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Release of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) has energized land and real estate specialists" href="http://www.imfaceplate.com/nickijenns/how-might-the-trump-tax-plan-impact-real-estate-investment">Release of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) has energized land and real estate specialists</a>, who see chances to accomplish further development and benefits, while additionally causing some shock among mortgage holders who will lose tax deductions. The impact on home costs remains up to debate, with few experts being more hopeful than others.<br />
<br />
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, there are open doors for real estate specialists to take advantage of tax cuts. The effect on house estimations in states with high income bears preventative investigation before setting out on-land interest in the specific districts. <br />
<br />
Based on the TCJA changes, land owners will have a couple of reasons to celebrate. Reasons include reductions in taxes for pass-through entities, increased opportunities for capital improvement deductions, and reductions in personal and corporate income tax rates. Real estate investors who exploit these advantages may have a diminishment in the taxes paid to state budget. <br />
<br />
Changes adopted by TCJA additionally advantage LLC and S-Corp organizations. These go through topic intended to give the obligation assurance of a partnership, while maintaining a strategic distance from the twofold tax assessment that occurs when entrepreneurs must pay corporate wage expense and individual charges. With an LLC, proprietors appreciate risk security while paying all expenses at their own salary assess rate. Based on TCJA, paying assessments of LLC&apos;s will become a lot better.  Expert Nicki Zvik gives his opinion later in the article.<br />
<br />
To cut the entrepreneur in on the tax breaks, Congress gave a hefty 20-percent impose conclusion for independent companies. This reasoning falls off the highest point of business profits. Additionally, real estate specialists appreciate the TCJA decreases in individual wage assess rates. Capital Investments Deductions Property proprietors generally get comfortable with Section 179 of the assessment code when they begin making capital upgrades. More upgrades qualify as derivations than any time in recent memory, and the TCJA likewise grows reasonable sums. For instance, HVAC frameworks, rooftops, and security frameworks are currently deductible as capital enhancements.<br />
<br />
The National Association for Relators (NAR) sees some weakness in the real estate market nationwide due to TCJA regulations. According to them, high value Eastern states like New York and New Jersey will see declines in prices, along with Illinois. "California, despite all the demand, should receive a gain of just over 1 percent. Impacts here in the LA area are starting to take shape", NAR officials declare. For real estate investors, this could spell pressure on prices; however, there may also be some sellers willing to let go of a property for less given that SALT deductions no longer help them keep their household budgets on target.<br />
<br />
"In order to minimize risk in real estate investing, it&apos;s important to look at a property from every angle. This means a thorough physical inspection from roof to foundation to neighborhood and demographic trends, school district, risk of earthquake, and so on. The buyer with most information will always be the one who carries the least risk because he or she will never be surprised and will not overpay from the beginning", declares <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Nicki Zvik" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicki-zvik-ba6387a5/">Nicki Zvik</a>, Real Estate expert, Co-Founder of Green Solar Technologies and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Spectrum Holdings" href="https://www.zviknicki.com/">Spectrum Holdings</a>.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Nicki Zvik<br />Green Solar Technologies<br />Telephone: 844-765-8324<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/1010944">Click to Email Nicki Zvik</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://zviknicki.com">https://zviknicki.com</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=1010944&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>

      <title>Real Estate Investor Offers Expert Advice on Flipping Homes</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Investor and Entrepreneur Brings his Years of Wisdom to Those Thinking of Investing in Real Estate</p><p>Santa Monica, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/15/2018 --  There are few in the industry with more experience in flipping residential properties than <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Nicki Zvik" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicki-zvik-ba6387a5">Nicki Zvik</a>. Having done this countless times, it&apos;s no surprise he is often sought out for his advice. Specifically, he was recently quoted in an article discussing the best ways to create a set system to ensure repeated success in flipping real estate. <br />
<br />
When asked about the importance of monitoring the details of any project, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Zvik explained" href="https://realtytimes.com/listings/item/1017976-how-to-stay-focused-on-your-strengths-in-real-estate-investment">Zvik explained</a>, "I&apos;ve seen everything in this business so nothing shocks me anymore. I generally assume that contractors will try to cut every corner possible to save money. It&apos;s natural. You have to make sure to examine every part of the job at every stage of the job. Also, the most important piece of advice I can give is to never pay the entire balance of the job until it is 100% complete. Always make sure to withhold at least as much as it would cost to have somebody else finish the job."<br />
<br />
This advice was part of a large article Realty Times outlining the steps anyone should take In order to stay focused and disciplined when flipping a property, by creating a set system based on what is currently working. Investors should stick to the same group of contractors, same real estate agents, same property managers and anyone else who contributed to the success of the first project. <br />
<br />
The article goes on to explain that no one should stay static but more so, to carefully expand their expertise by learning from others and optimizing the processes. Future return on investments should continue to yield the same or better numbers as more experience is gained. Learn from others doing similar projects to see what their returns look like to make sure you are meeting or exceeding those same numbers. <br />
<br />
It is also very important to be teachable, so that when something isn&apos;t working, you need to adapt and quickly learn why. You need to stay on top of every aspect of the project as the longer something sits broken, the greater the long-term effect on your bottom-line. Take advice and learn from it, but act quickly. <br />

      <title>Acadia Malibu – The Positive Impact of Experimental Therapy in Addiction Recovery Treatment for Young Adults</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Acadia Malibu's program, Acadia Farms succeeding in removing the stigma of addiction as evident in a Young Adult client with a green thumb and support of California based company, Malibu Compost</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/09/2014 --  Since opening their doors in 2010, Acadia Malibu has been leading the way with addiction treatment programs that turn young adults into productive members of society with strong sobriety and vocational strengths. With an intuitively created program focusing on the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Failure to Launch" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/overcoming-failure-launch-bob-forrest/">Failure to Launch</a> client, Acadia Malibu offers an array of theraputic modalities, such as <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Equine" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/therapeutic-modalities/equine-assisted-therapy/">Equine</a> and Gardening Therapy, that seek to help engage the client&apos;s sense of self-esteem and build confidence in their ability to contribute to society in a meaningful way.<br />
<br />
In June of 2013, Acadia Malibu, launched their exciting organic farm project, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Acadia Farms" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/introducing-acadia-farms/">Acadia Farms</a>. With six acres of lush, fertile land perched above the Pacific ocean, Acadia Farms is Acadia Malibu&apos;s multi-purpose program that not only provides clients with a source of income and work experience, whether it&apos;s in marketing, horticulture, administration for its clients, but just as important, it lifts the stigma of addiction in society. Especially in Malibu, where treatment centers are often villianized, Acadia Malibu&apos;s goal is to show a new side of their clients to the larger community. Not only are they fully contributing members of society, but they are actually feeding and nourishing their neighbors.<br />
<br />
A little over a year later, Acadia Farms has flourished in more ways than one and their client, Jared DeFrancesco, is a fully actualized representation of how someone can thrive in recovery by engrossing him/herself into all that Acadia Malibu has to offer. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="His story" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/acadia-farms-year-progress-promise-future/">His story</a> is of course uniquely his own, but it found a new direction while researching recovery centers online with his Mother.  Having owned his own farm in Vermont prior to going into recovery, Acadia Malibu was undeniably appealing to him considering their experiential therapy services but he was also drawn to their non-judmental and supportive approach to their clients.<br />
<br />
Upon his arrival approximately three months ago, 29 year old,  Jared is now an intricate part of the Acadia community. He helps manage the garden at Acadia Farms, works side by side with other clients as well as provides lessons for those simply interested in knowing how to identify the different produce in its most raw form. Through his work in the garden, Jared also made a friend in Malibu local and Co-Founder of Malibu Compost, Randy Ritchie. Jared had done his research and knew that <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Malibu Compost" href="http://malibucompost.com/">Malibu Compost</a> is the only soil company in the U.S. who can claim to be GMO-free, pesticide-free, herbicide-free and fungicide-free because they are the only company in the country who test for such things. When he called for a quote on soil, unbeknownst to him, the person whom he had spoken to on the phone let Randy know that someone from a local Malibu recovery center had called regarding soil for their gardening therapy program.  Intrigued, Randy contacted Jared to learn more and asked to visit him and hear more about the project.<br />
<br />
"I was interested on a couple of counts; it was a Malibu recovery project and that they wanted to grow organically. Jared had sought us out because our compost and soils are certified biodynamic and organic. I knew I had to meet up with Jared and see first hand the Acadia Farms project in action. Once I did, I realized that we wanted to be a part of this program and help out wherever we could," explained Randy. Within the next two months that followed their initial meeting, Randy along with Jared and his fellow Acadia peers in recovery helped nourish an abundant harvest of Kale, Swiss Chard, Asian Greens, Beets, Carrots, and Broccoli along with fruits: Strawberries and Tomatoes, and herbs: Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, and Lavender. Many of which made special appearances at the Acadia Malibu Thanksgiving table and will certainly show up again for December holiday celebrations.<br />
<br />
Co-founder, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Evan Haines" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/staff/evan-haines/">Evan Haines</a> enthuses "Based on his strong interest in gardening, I was glad to get him involved with Acadia Farms.  But I had no idea it was going to be such perfect fit!  This project is going to be huge.  It is really taking on a life of it&apos;s own with Jared&apos;s help." He went onto say, "Jared really embodies what we hope for in our clients at Acadia.  He has found a real sense of connection in his new life in recovery. After his treatment is complete, I&apos;m hoping to keep him in the Acadia Malibu community, not only through our Alumni Program, but as a staff member who can help engage future clients through this very special garden." <br />
<br />
Up next for the Acadia Farms, Evan says, "The long-term goal is to grow enough Kale to begin producing Kale Chips to sell at local markets, such as the Malibu Farmers Market." As for Jared, he and Randy plan to host a Compost Tea Workshop for the Acadia community, to teach budding gardeners how to create this effective and natural fertilizer for seedlings and garden plants. When asked how he felt about the possibility of working with Acadia once his treatment was complete, looking out over the garden he helped grow, Jared says calmly, "That&apos;s my long-term goal."<br />

      <title>Kelly Cole - New Politically Charged Graphic T-Shirt Collection</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Graphics that Beg the Question - WTF?</p><p>Los Angeles, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 10/10/2014 --  KELLY COLE – FALL COLLECTION – 2014<br />
<br />
The Fall 2014 Collection is now in-store and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="online" href="http://www.kellycole.com">online</a>. Kelly and his business partner, Sean Hornbeak, are excited for the launch as it is the most evolved collection to date, pieces are showcased both from the highly anticipated and provocatively charged prescription drug <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="graphic-T collection" href="http://www.kellycole.com/graphic-tees/">graphic-T collection</a>, as well as the newest additions to their core line: the Boyfriend T-shirt for women and the sleek, fitted Henley for men and women.<br />
<br />
When asked about the concept behind the addiction inspired graphic artwork, the story turned out to be a personal as well as political one. Cole explained "Sean and I have both experienced addiction in different ways in our lives, so it&apos;s a topic often discussed." Inspired, Cole delved deep into research on the subject and became fascinated with the expansive growth of the prescription medication business within this country over the past decade. Cole continued, "The statistics I found were staggering. The idea that the USA equates to 4% of global population, yet we consume 80% of all prescription medications produced globally, is mind-boggling." These findings not only sparked numerous conversations between the partners but also were in line with various shared ideas regarding the next collection.  So when it came to decide what narrative they wanted to tell, this consequently became the obvious next graphic story for the brand. Agreeing, Sean added, "We want to shake it up with this collection and make people think."<br />

      <title>Acadia Malibu Announces Its New Outpatient Program</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Innovative Drug Treatment Program Adds Outpatient Services</p><p>Malibu, CA -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 09/22/2014 --  Acadia Malibu Treatment Programs steps into the growing outpatient drug treatment field.  Following trends set by some of the older, established treatment players, such as the newly merged Betty Ford/Hazelden Foundation, Acadia looks to establish roots in the community, to offer more flexibly with a more affordable, cost-effective model of treatment with its newly certified <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Malibu Outpatient Program" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/intensive-outpatient-program/">Malibu Outpatient Program</a>.<br />
<br />
The new <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Acadia Malibu Outpatient" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/intensive-outpatient-program/">Acadia Malibu Outpatient</a> facility provides their clients with structure, accountability, and therapeutic support.  But that&apos;s not all.  Acadia does this with the compassionate, innovative approach that it is becoming famous for, eschewing the classroom setting for experiential, hands-on therapies, providing opportunities for meditation, guided sweat lodges, music groups, animal-assisted therapy and &apos;Vision Rides,&apos; and &apos;eco-psychology&apos; in the exciting new organic farm project.  Combined with affordable sober living, this becomes an entirely new, effective, and much more affordable model of treatment, one that&apos;s particularly geared toward young people.<br />
<br />
Co-Founder, Evan Haines, speaks to the importance of keeping it&apos;s young clients engaged.  "We need to make sure that we are always doing everything we can to capture their imaginations.  The old treatment models aren&apos;t working.  We recognized that from the beginning, so do everything in our power to engage our younger clients, to connect from the heart, and excite and challenge them to explore this new life in recovery."  Unfortunately, for a lot of younger folks, this may not be their last time trying to get sober.  "If that&apos;s the case, we want to give them a little &apos;taste of victory,&apos; to show them what a life in recovery can be.  If we leave them with a bad taste in their mouths of what recovery too often is – controlling, serious, hypocritical, judgmental, and a general drag – we have potentially done them a grave harm, hindering them from trying it again." <br />
<br />
Bob Forrest, Program Director of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Acadia Malibu" href="http://acadiamalibu.com/">Acadia Malibu</a>, discovered a long time ago that traditional in-patient treatment was not working, and that it was time to try something new.  He called the new approach "medical stabilization, followed by sober living, in conjunction with low-to-medium intensity out-patient treatment."  It saved clients money, and by giving them more freedom, by allowing them to live out in the world, they tended to flourish.  "On a whole, the clients are more hopeful and easier to work with.  It is obvious to me that this is because they feel they are really, finally accepting personal responsibility for their own recovery."  In this kind of freer setting, and with this kind of support, the Outpatient program is able to carry out its ultimate aim – to &apos;launch&apos; its young clients into life, into jobs, school, and to help them build a community of like-minded young people who are also interested in becoming happy, healthy, and whole.<br />
<br />
Insurance companies agree with this new model, as evidenced by their diminishing willingness to pay for the cumbersome, hugely expensive, often ineffective in-patient model, and simultaneous move toward funding the leaner, meaner outpatient and day treatment levels of care.  Through its new Outpatient Program, Acadia Malibu is offering long-term care that is almost entirely covered by most PPO insurance policies.  In combination, Acadia is offering its clients affordable sober living – in Malibu, overlooking the ocean! – starting at just $650 per month.</p><p>For more information on this press release visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm">http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</a></p></div><h2>Media Relations Contact</h2><p>Evan Haines<br />Telephone: 310-975-5344<br />Email: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/contact/547482">Click to Email Evan Haines</a><br />Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://acadiamalibu.com">http://acadiamalibu.com</a><br /></div><div><p><img src="https://cts.releasewire.com/v/?sid=547482&amp;s=f&amp;v=f" width="1" height="1" alt=""><span></span></p></div>]]></description>
