• The Sinai Car Rally, Tony Bisante September, 2010 I am happy to support the Sinai Car Rally, an annual charity drive that challenges driver and navigator teams to maneuver through Mount Sinai Hospital, passing through certain checkpoints on a path to the finish line. The Sinai Car Rally combines the thrill of the competition with a passion for exotic care to raise money for respiratory care and treatment at Mount Sinai Hospital Montreal. The Sinai Car Rally is not a traditional race- the winner is not determined by who crosses the finish line first, but by who obtains the highest number of points. At the start of the race, each team is given a Navigation Guide with the rally route and certain rally questions that teams must answer in order to earn points while deciphering the correct route. The rally is a test of navigational skill, speed, and wit, a unique and interesting combination that supports a very worthy cause. This upcoming year will mark the 6th annual Sinai Rally. Mount Sinai Hospital Montreal was established in 1909 as a tuberculosis sanatorium and served as a tuberculosis care facility until the 1950s, when the disease’s threat diminished with the advent of antibiotics. Today, the facility offers comprehensive healthcare and maintains specializations in respiratory care, palliative care, and long-term services. Supporting the hospital’s prominent respiratory care program, the Sinai Car Rally helps Mount Sinai Hospital Montreal continue to diagnose, treat, and stabilize patients while also teaching them how to care for themselves upon returning home. The professionals at Mount Sinai provide psychological and emotional support for their patients in addition to the highest level of physiological care. Respiratory diseases often require a patient to completely change his or her life, and Mount Sinai is dedicated to helping patients through the difficult adjustment. With the help of fundraisers like the Sinai Rally, the hospital will continue to grow and provide even better services for its patients.

• Patriot Energy Corporation November, 2010 By: Tony Bisante During my tenure at Patriot Energy Corporation, a green management holding corporation based in Montreal, Canada, I devoted a great deal of time and energy to facilitating the company’s environmentally conscious business model. Joining Patriot Energy in October of 2008, I stepped into a leadership role that required a strong foundational understanding of energy efficient technologies. Applying my extensive background in business development to the utmost capacity, I oversaw a 100% increase in revenue over the course of one year, generating markedly improved sales of Patriot Energy’s portfolio of products. I look back on the time I spent at the company with satisfaction, knowing that my professional accomplishments contributed to decreasing the United States’ dependence on foreign oil. Patriot Energy maintains an exclusive leased license agreement with Tectane Technologies Corporation, an organization committed to providing clean energy solutions that are both affordable and easily accessible. Tectane Technologies Corporation manufactures the Dual H2O Engine Oxygenator, a water injector that is installed on conventional motor vehicle engines. Utilizing a solution known as Aquahol, the Dual H2O Engine Oxygenator enables gasoline-powered vehicles to operate in a highly efficient manner, vastly decreasing fuel intake. Aquahol is a mixture of 20% water and 80% ethanol. Blended by the Dual H2O Engine Oxygenator, Aquahol is lauded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a wonderful alternative to conventional gasoline. Most cars in America currently run on gasohol, a blend of 10% alcohol and 90% gasoline. According to USDA Research, vehicles operating on Aquahol are 800% more efficient than their traditionally fueled counterparts. Oxygen comprises 89% of water’s molecular structure, while ethanol’s make-up is only 25% oxygen. For this reason, the Dual H2O Engine Oxygenator achieves full combustion with far less nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide emissions. The Dual H2O Engine Oxygenator and other Patriot Energy Corporation technologies are quickly gaining a strong foothold in the energy marketplace, altering fuel consumption in a highly positive manner.

• Common Hockey Penalties December, 2010 By: Tony Bisante As any avid hockey fan will tell you, a certain level of physical play can be expected from any game. Less experienced viewers, however, often find themselves utterly perplexed by the system of penalties in hockey. Here is a brief list of common penalties and their consequences. Boarding: One of the signature features of hockey is the check into the boards, so it can sometimes be difficult to discern when such an action constitutes a penalty. Boarding, defined as a violent push of another player into the boards when that player is facing the boards, often incurs a major penalty due to the likelihood of injury. If a player on the receiving end of a vicious check stands around five feet from the board, he will likely fly head-first into the side of the rink, putting him at great risk for head and neck injury. Major penalties such as boarding earn the offender five minutes in the penalty box, leaving his team at a one-man disadvantage for the duration of his punishment. High-sticking: To protect players from facial injury caused by other players, the NHL forbids touching an opponent with the stick above the shoulder level. Although the drawing of blood generally receives a double-minor penalty (four minutes in the penalty box), the call is largely left to the discretion of the referee. Unsportsmanlike conduct: Even in the rough and tumble sport of professional hockey, players are expected to maintain a professional demeanor at all times. The use of slurs or obscene gestures directed at officials, opponents, or fans often results in a minor or major penalty, depending on the severity of the infraction.
