HOUSTON, TX September 25, 2004 -- Imagine if there was an ergonomic chair with a spine that was designed to support, move and work with your spine. Well, imagine no more the VERTE' advanced ergonomic computer chair is now available from ErgonomicHome.com (http://www.ergonomichome.com).
The VERTE' ergonomic computer chair has been awarded the prestigious Platinum Award for Design Excellence (ADEX). The striking design of the VERTE' ergonomic computer chair features a unique and innovative seating technology with a dynamic motion back that provides passive adjustments to contour to each user's individual spine profile. The award winning design of the VERTE' ergonomic computer chair adjusts in three dimensions: horizontally, in and out 3.5 inches, and it flexes to the left and to the right, just like the spine does! Imagine sitting in an ergonomic computer chair that molds itself to your spine's unique shape, fitting and holding you perfectly.
The VERTE'chair has been in development for over ten years by a team of over 100 engineers, designers, and doctors. As a true ergonomic chair and orthopedic device, the VERTE' helps to ease pain and improves posture, actually teaching your spine to relax while seated. The VERTE' is built with eleven torsion spring-loaded bearing joints that take an exact impression of your spine, then can be locked in position at the touch of a lever. Over time, "muscle memory" takes over and your posture improves naturally and permanently improving circulation in your back.

Portland, OR June 5, 2004 -- On Friday, June 18, City Club of Portland will hear State of the County addresses by two of the region's leaders: Diane M. Linn, chair of the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners; and Tom Brian, chair of the Washington County Board of Commissioners.
In many metropolitan regions, county government takes a back seat to big-picture state legislatures and narrowly defined city ordinances. But Oregon is different. From leading the national debate on same-sex marriage to building new and unique collaborations with cities and nonprofit organizations to deliver human services, county commissioners like Brian and Linn have become household names. On June 18, these two proactive commissioners will describe how Multnomah and Washington counties have fared over the past year-and what they see for the future of county government.
(The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners was invited but unable to participate in this forum. Commissioners Bill Kennemer and Martha Schrader are facing re-election, and Club rules limit their appearance while campaigning; Commissioner Larry Sowa's schedule precluded him from attending.)
This week's Friday Forum, which is open to the public, will be held at the Multnomah Athletic Club (1849 S.W. Salmon St.). Doors open at 11:30 AM. The program begins at 12:15 PM and concludes at 1:15 PM. Lunch reservations can be made online at www.pdxcityclub.org or by calling (503) 228-7231 by 2 PM Wednesday, June 16. Lunch tickets are $16 for members of City Club, $18 for nonmembers. Coffee/tea tickets are $5 at the door. General seating is free for members and $5 for nonmembers.
Note to Media: Media are encouraged to attend. Sign in at the registration table on the day of the forum.
