Waldorf Publishing is Excited to be Releasing the New Book “Inside the Godfather”

Leave a comment

Waldorf Publishing is excited to be releasing the new book “Inside the Godfather”, Never Before Told Stories of James Brown by His Inner Circle. Written by: Daryl Brown, the son of James Brown and Michael P. Chabries. If you think you know the soul truth about James Brown, think again!

Grapevine, Texas, July 08, 2014 – “Inside the Godfather” is a history changing book, but most importantly Daryl Brown will set the record straight about his dad, James Brown, The Godfather of Soul! Stories that have NEVER been told such as: Did you know that James Brown, The Godfather of Soul was offered over ten million dollars to convert to a certain religion?

Daryl Brown believes that his dad…James Brown, his brother-in-law and his older brother Teddy were murdered.

Despite what Mick Jagger and the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe – James Brown never discharged a weapon during the insurance seminar prior to James Brown’s arrest ending him up in prison. Primary concern of James Brown was that he was being robbed.

Michael Jackson returned from exile in Bahrain to “play” with the body of James Brown while he was in the casket in a room at The Apollo, left alone for over 2 hours.

Susie Brown did not abandon James Brown as the movie “Get on Up” would have you believe. The relationship turned deadly with a murder attempt. Leaving the child was the only way to preserve both lives.

Black police officer Donald Danner believes James Brown was shot at by white police officers because of the color of his skin. 23 shots fired at the truck. Two shots hit the gas-tank in an effort to “lawfully” murder James Brown.

Tomi Rae was stopped by police for being married to a black monkey and the police told her they were going to kill James Brown. Overt racism and threat of “disappearing” or murder was a challenge for both Tomi Rae and Adrienne “James Brown’s 2 wives.”

The Inner Circle will include but not limited to: the Mistress, the Limo Driver, the Widow, the Bodyguard, Band Members, Personal Physician, an Arresting Officer and many more!

The book will be available August 1st, 2014 as a paperback, eBook and Audio book and will feature unique photos, some of which have never been seen. Pre-order your copy now!

We have partnered with VH1, Save The Music Foundation and The Fender Music Foundation and will be donating 5% of book proceeds to both Foundations.

The book will be released simultaneously with the Universal Studios biographical film “Get on Up” produced by Mick Jagger and Brian Grazer to be released in theatres on August 1st 2014.

In Daryl Brown’s own words: “How can Universal Studios distribute a movie about my dad without even talking to those that were closet to my dad including me?”

James Brown, The Godfather of Soul may be the most misunderstood man in the last century. His contributions toward modern music pale in comparison to the role he played in modern history. Brown lifted all races toward the ideals of equality and opportunity. Tragically, while he had the ability to calm the storms of social turmoil – his personal life was a perpetual tempest; sex, drugs, rhythm & blues.

Inside the Godfather brings together, for the first time, Brown’s inner circle. They will correct the distortions of the past and provide the reader a clear understanding of the brilliance and generosity that was James Brown. This book will have you question your assumptions about politics, religion, sports, money and the entire entertainment industry. You will see inside the man. You will never be the same.

The name, James Brown is an international Brand. His music is still being sold in over 110 countries. His face is certainly one of the most recognizable in the world. He is loved and adored by millions, but how many people really knew him?

Two hundred years from now when they mention James Brown, The Godfather of Soul, they will use this book to understand the person, the mind, the genius of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

Waldorf Publishing: Was launched in 2013 by Barbara Terry. Barbara is a marketing and media expert with extensive experience in the Entertainment Industry. The first book published was by NASCAR great, Kenny Wallace.

Healthcare Transactions Lawyers and You

Leave a comment

Many ASC practice owners approaching a healthcare transaction or deal maintain the idea that any general business attorney might do just fine for the task at hand.

Dallas, Texas, July 08, 2014 – Many ASC practice owners approaching a healthcare transaction or deal maintain the idea that any general business attorney might do just fine for the task at hand. However, after consulting attorneys and lawyers within the healthcare field, the writers at The Ambulatory M&A Advisor have a different opinion to present.

For healthcare transactions deals it is imperative for owners to add an experienced healthcare transactions lawyer to their team.

“The correct person is not just someone with health care experience; it’s someone with the right experience in that particular niche of healthcare law,” said Marissa Arreola, Partner at Strasburger & Price, LLP. “Healthcare law is so broad. The best healthcare attorneys have a fundamental understanding of relevant health care laws and regulations and can spot health care issues in a deal. The best health care attorneys also recognize that there are subject matter specialists who can best serve a client’s particular needs and ensure that the right lawyer for the job is assigned to each client matter.”

The full article published by The Advisor expands on the topic, outlining what exactly a healthcare transactions lawyer is and how one should go about finding the right such attorney.

What Investment Bankers Can do for You

Leave a comment

When the owner of an ambulatory center makes the decision to sell a center, the process quickly escalates into perhaps the single largest financial transaction of their life.

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 – When the owner of an ambulatory center makes the decision to sell a center, the process quickly escalates into perhaps the single largest financial transaction of their life. With so many moving parts involved and so much at stake, it is important for an owner to have someone on their side who can guide the sale in the right direction. That someone would be an investment banker.

Bringing to the table experience, a network of contacts and knowledge of the market, an investment banker is essential to these types of deals being executed successfully.

In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, experts Roger Strode of Foley & Lardner, LLP, Blayne Rush, President of Ambulatory Alliances, LLC, Kyle Bohannon, Executive Vice President of Strategy and Development at FastMed Urgent Care, and Kevin Ryan of Epstein, Becker and Green weigh in on the matter.

“[Investment bankers] will help you understand your business as the investor sees it and work with you to be prepared to tell your story and explain any risks,” explained Rush. “When buyers or investors believe that you are prepared and understand your business, they are more likely to take you seriously, believe what you are telling them and increase the purchase price and improve the terms they offer.”

Pain Management In-Office Procedures Decline with Reimbursement Rates

Leave a comment

The proper business management of an Pain Management Center will be the key to success going forward, according to industry professionals.

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 – In an article published by The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, Dr. Rudi Gari of Texas Pain Relief Group weighs in on the matter, noting that physician-owners of Pain Management Centers need to keep the business side of their practice in mind, even if it doesn’t come second nature.

“Physicians are typically not the best business people,” Gari said. “You may be the best doctor the world has ever known, but if you don’t know how to manage your finances and manage your office, you’re not going to have an office to practice in.”

This emphasis on business is a result of declining reimbursement rates, according to Dr. Al Liceaga, Medical Director of Orangewood Surgical Center and Regional Pain Treatment Medical Center.

“ASCs reimbursement for procedures are often paid on only one CPT code and global fees now limit payment and reduce access to care by not allowing reimbursement for certain procedures within the global time period,” he said. “Reimbursement for hardware and implants has dramatically changed also. The majority of implants are now inclusive of the global fee.”

These changes in reimbursement rates had a noticeable impact on in-office procedures, with higher costs causing a reduction in such procedures.

A Look at Due Diligence in Ambulatory Care Center Transactions

Leave a comment

With mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in ambulatory care increasing over the last year

Dallas, Texas, July 05, 2014 – With mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in ambulatory care increasing over the last year, the significance of doing the right due diligence for a practice cannot be over-emphasized.

In an article published on The Ambulatory M&A Advisor, healthcare attorneys and consultants give insight into the financial, legal and clinical aspects of due diligence and the best ways to approach each.

Experts Michael Schaff, attorney and chair of the Corporate & Health Care Departments at Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer, Bill Horton, an Alabama-based partner and health care attorney with the Jones Walker law firm, and Roger Strode, a partner and health care attorney with the Chicago office of Foley & Lardner, LLP, all give advice for those seeking information about these areas of due diligence.

Schaff’s advice for potential sellers: “Before you negotiate a price, do appropriate due diligence on yourself so you are prepared for what the buyers will ask and you know where your ‘skeletons’ may be. Sometimes smaller companies don’t have the internal resources to dot every ‘i’ or cross every ‘t’. There are many potential traps for the unwary, and surprises pop up in the middle of the process” which can result in a buyer reducing his offered price.

Nutrition Breakthroughs Announces ‘Joints and More’ for Healthy Joints, Energy, More

Leave a comment

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, arthritis is the #1 cause of disability among adults. The ingredients in ‘Joints and More’ have been proven to provide natural joint relief, relief for allergies, increased energy and more.

Glendale, CA, July 04, 2014 – An estimated 50 million U.S. adults (about 1 of 5) have doctor-diagnosed arthritis. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, arthritis is the #1 cause of disability among adults. It is defined as painful inflammation, aching, stiffness and swelling in or around the joints. Arthritis can occur in any joint, but usually it affects the hands, knees, hips, neck or spine. Common limitations from arthritis include difficulty with climbing stairs, walking, lifting, reaching, bending or kneeling.

NutritionBreakthroughs.com of Glendale California is announcing their newest product called ‘Joints and More’, which contains a natural form of sulfur known as MSM. According to research studies, MSM is known to help joint symptoms, muscle soreness, headaches, allergies, hair growth and more by supporting collagen in the cells and reducing inflammation. Collagen is the main protein in connective tissues. The body’s hormones, enzymes and immune system also depend on MSM on a daily basis.

MSM sulfur (methyl-sulphonyl-methane) is a white, odorless, water-soluble element found in nature and in foods such as milk, fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat. Food processing methods such as heating, washing and freezing, all deplete MSM in foods, which makes daily replenishment beneficial. Many people with joint pain may be deficient in MSM. In a 1995 study, sulfur concentration in arthritic cartilage was shown to be about one-third the level of normal cartilage.

The Arthritis Foundation’s web site lists the most common side effects of those medications used to treat arthritis. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen can create edema (swelling of the feet) heartburn, stomach ulcers and possibly increased risk of blood clots and heart attack. Corticosteroids (cortisone) may contribute to cataracts, elevated blood sugar levels, increased appetite and bone loss. Injections at the arthritis site can create redness and swelling and increased risk of infections.

In the breakthrough book called “The Miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain,” Stanley Jacob, M.D., the co-discoverer and ‘Father of MSM’, and Ronald Lawrence, M.D., share their experiences with successfully treating people with MSM. Together they have treated over 12,000 people with MSM for a variety of conditions at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland Oregon.

Dr. Jacob says: “MSM is a surprising supplement. When you start taking it, you may notice a number of good things happening in your life in addition to pain and allergy relief: More energy, cosmetic benefits such as softer skin, thicker hair, stronger nails; decreased scar tissue; and relief of constipation.”

Ellen N. of Littleton, Colorado says: “I had developed painful arthritis in both knees. The orthopedist prescribed physical therapy, knee braces, ibuprofen daily and an eventual surgery. Someone I know who works for a nutritional supplement company offered me a sample of MSM. I started taking it, I began noticing improvement, and this continued. Soon I had the same spring back in my legs just like before all this started. I was feeling major relief. Now I’m walking faster and even climbed on my roof to trim some trees. I feel like a new woman.”

In one research study, patients suffering from degenerative arthritis were treated with either 2,250 mg per day of MSM or placebo. Sixteen patients were enrolled in the study. With the MSM group, the researchers reported “A better than 80 percent control of pain within six weeks of beginning the study.”

There is no known cure for arthritis. According to Dr. Stanley Jacob, “Steroidal drugs such as cortisone are widely prescribed to reduce the inflammation associated with a wide array of painful conditions. These frequently lead to unhealthy weight gain, high blood pressure and even diabetes…..MSM offers a natural way to reduce pain and inflammation without serious side effects.”
