Ahern and Associates, Ltd, and Benesch Law Wrap Up Second Annual Transportation Conference, Receive Strong Accolades from Trucking and Logistics Industry Attendees

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) September 29, 2011

The distinguished team of Ahern and Associates, Ltd. and Benesch Law have successfully completed their second annual transportation conference to a packed house of attendees at the JW Marriott in Chicago. Those in attendance were not given a sales pitch as is expected at most no cost conferences, but were instead treated to an abundance of information on topics which effect the success and operation of transportation companiesmost notably impending CSA regulations.

For example, Tommy Hodges, Chairman of Titan Transportation and Ex Chairman of the American Trucking Association and Lane Kidd, President of the Arkansas Trucking Association both eloquently delivered impactful presentations on CSA 2010 and hours of service. The focus of their message zeroed in on the effect CSA is having on the transportation industry and the frustrations arising as a result of the fact that there is no training of the agents to enforce regulation.

Additionally, they are finding that most trucking companies cannot interpret the new CSA regulations and posed the question: How can you effectively regulate an industry when the agents who are paid to enforce regulations dont understand the law?

Kidd also indicated that 51% of 91,918 carriers already have a CSA infraction and of those carriers, approximately 2,700,000 are truck drivers employed by these firms. The most frequent CSA infractions included:

Brita Climate Ride Returns for Second Year

New York City (PRWEB) April 16, 2009

The Brita Climate Ride will return for its second year this September, and registration is now open to 250 cyclists. This "climate conference on wheels" and fundraiser is designed to raise awareness of climate change and renewable energy. This year's event will take place September 26-30, 2009, and will once again see hundreds of cyclists pedal beautiful country roads from New York City to Washington, DC. Participants can currently register online at http://www.climateride.org.

Caeli Quinn, co-founder and director of Climate Ride, said the ride is a positive way for people to express their concern about climate change. "With the COP15 Climate Conference around the corner, we need to see a significant commitment to dealing with climate change and increasing renewable energy options in the U.S.," Quinn said. "This year's Climate Ride will see hundreds of riders, backed by the thousands of people who sponsored them and made this historic journey possible."

Last year, on September 24th, 2008, during Brita Climate Ride 2008, more than 100 exuberant cyclists rode en masse to the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C. This was the thrilling end to a 300-mile bike ride that began in the heart of New York City and meandered through beautiful countryside in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

Each evening, expert speakers met with Climate Riders to discuss the science, policies and issues surrounding climate change and renewable energy. Upon the Climate Riders' triumphant arrival in Washington D.C., they had the opportunity to meet personally with their senators and representatives.

This year's event raises funds for three hardworking non-profits, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (DC), Clean Air-Cool Planet (Connecticut) and Focus the Nation (Oregon). Climate Ride is the first multi-day, multi-city bicycle ride to address climate change and renewable energy issues. Climate Ride also endeavors to show that the bicycle is the ultimate carbon-free machine and a viable form of transportation.

Climate Ride is especially unique because of its expert speaker series, says co-founder and director, Geraldine Carter. "This is the first climate conference on wheels. Our riders pedal all day and then have the opportunity to hear from some the brightest minds in climate change and renewable energy in the evening. Our riders finish Climate Ride with an in-depth understanding of climate issues and are inspired to rally friends and family to help resolve the most important issue facing humanity."

Brita Climate Ride is the first bicycle tour where pedal strokes help raise money and awareness of climate change and hope for a future powered by renewable energy and a green economy. The ride offers people who share a passion for green living and cycling a chance to journey toward making a difference. Like the Climate Riders, Brita, once again the title sponsor, is dedicated to making the Earth a greener place. Thanks to Brita, there won't be any empty bottled water containers along the route; the riders are supplied with Brita filtered water in special FilterForGood bike bottles. Each Climate Rider fundraises at least $ 2,400 to participate in Climate Ride 2009.

About Climate Ride

The Climate Ride organization was founded by Caeli Quinn, 33, (Whitefish, MT) and Geraldine Carter, 33, (Missoula, MT) to raise money for innovative organizations that are working to educate Americans about the impacts of climate change and engage them in the possibility of a renewable energy-based economy, and to mobilize politicians to enact meaningful climate change and energy policies. In 2008, Climate Riders represented 30 states and a variety of cycling abilities from novices to competitive cyclists. For more information, please visit http://www.climateride.org.

High Net Worths Split On Prospects for UK Economic Growth In Second Half Of 2011, Says Towry

(PRWEB) September 29, 2011

A survey conducted by asset management specialist Towry has shown that respondents are divided almost 50:50 in their confidence that the UK economy will grow in the second half of this year.

Over 240 visitors to the Towry website participated in the survey, responding to the question: Will the UK economy continue to grow for the remainder of 2011?

The responses produced the following results:

Yes: 52% (126 Votes)

No: 48% (117 Votes)

Towrys Insight team conducts regular surveys with clients and external groups as part of its Insight Agenda, designed to gauge consumer attitudes towards issues in the market and financial advice sector.

Dr Robert Dawkins, Chief Investment Officer at Towry, said: We see here a lack of consensus amongst respondents, yet we interpret the results as being relatively optimistic. With consumer spending falling, retailers predicting more gloom to come and the Bank of England talking about people facing uncomfortable years, we might expect there to be more pessimism amongst clients.

At Towry, were more encouraged by the short term investment environment than we were in January, as there is more scope for progress with uncertainty often leading to opportunity.

We will look to benefit from reaction amongst investors, and subsequent valuation opportunities across our diversified portfolios.
