LivingFuelTV Features Renowned Canadian Physiologist About “Exercise Medicine” Prior To The Summer Olympic Games In London













Dr. Greg Wells and KC Craichy


Orlando, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2012

What do a 21-year-old Olympic athlete and an 11-year-old leukemia patient have in common? Both benefit greatly from the research and wisdom of renowned physiologist Dr. Greg Wells, Ph.D.

Dr. Wells is an associate professor at the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto. He is a leading researcher and author of the forthcoming book “Superbodies: Peak Performance Secrets From the World’s Best Athletes.”

Dr. Wells appears on LivingFuelTV with KC Craichy, best-selling author and Founder & CEO of Living Fuel, Inc.

“We are thrilled to have Dr. Greg Wells on LivingFuelTV,” Craichy said. “He is one of the top physiologists in Canada and works extensively with world-class athletes and chronically ill children. The purpose of our special television series is to educate people about how Dr. Wells’ research into human extremes can help everyone live healthier and more productive lives.”

Dr. Wells calls what he does “extreme human physiology” because he researches how the body works when it’s failing and challenged by chronic disease, and it’s almost as perfect as you can expect it with the Olympians.

As a researcher, Dr. Wells uses specific exercise protocols to test the limitations of the human body in various diseases—mostly related to muscle and lung conditions. Dr. Wells has been using advanced MRI technologies to measure the limitations because MRI does not require any radiation or drugs and offers a look inside the human body without the use of needles or other invasive measures.

Dr. Wells is also an Associate Scientist in Physiology and Experimental Medicine at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada.

“I’m really lucky to have the career that I have,” Dr. Wells told Craichy during the LivingFuelTV interview. “I spend a lot of time with children with chronic diseases at the hospital, and then I also get the chance to work with some of Canada’s best Olympians.”

Dr. Wells will cover multiple aspects of human health and achievement during the special television interview series with KC Craichy.

Dr. Wells has extensive experience in television, including as the host of the Gemini-Award winning “Superbodies” segments for Canada’s national Olympic broadcast and as on-camera sport science and sport medicine analyst for the CTV Broadcast Consortium, ABC News and ABC’s 20/20 during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Dr. Wells’ on-camera analysis will also be part of Canada Television’s 2012 Olympic broadcast in London this summer.

KC CRAICHY is Founder & CEO of Living Fuel – The Leader in Superfood Nutrition, and the best-selling author of “Super Health – 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality,” and the author of “The Super Health Diet – The Last Diet You Will Ever Need!” He is a health advocate and expert on natural health and performance nutrition and host of LivingFuelTV. Craichy’s extensive study of leading-edge health research and collaborative work with top medical and nutritional practitioners and researchers to solve his wife’s health problems led him to the founding of Living Fuel, Inc. Craichy is committed to changing lives through nutritional and multi-media lifestyle education combined with leading-edge high impact superfoods. He also serves on the Clinical Nutrition Review Board (the certifying body of the International and American Association of Clinical Nutrition). Craichy lives in Orlando, Florida with his wife Monica and their five children.

LivingFuel products are distributed in Canada by LivingFuel Canada.

From Oprah to the Today Show, Renowned Designers Talk About the Wallpaper Comeback – And Retailers Like Wallpapers To Go are Utilizing the Publicity in Local Marketing Effort










Houston, Texas (PRWEB) June 26, 2008

Wallpapers To Go, the nation’s largest chain of specialty wallpaper stores, announces a new generation of wallpaper that is changing the way the paper – named for the only application it was expected to have – is regarded in the decorating world.

Excited about the evolutionary new design element it has become for some of the most renowned designers, Wallpapers To Go representatives utilize publicity the designers generate in communicating the comeback to customers.

According to company executives, decorating guru Nate Berkus suggests that today “it’s not your grandmother’s wallpaper” – referring to the sophisticated patterns, metallic colors, contemporary designs, Old World craftsmanship and fabrics of today’s ready to go anywhere wallpaper.

And hearing it from highly regarded designers like Berkus has greater impact than any local advertising they could do.

They also point to features on popular morning programs such as the Today Show to further boast the rebirth of wallpaper – stating that Chassie Post, style editor of Domino magazine, suggests exploring the bold new patterns and applying it unconventionally to dramatically change the look and feel of a room.

“Today decorators are using wallpaper as framed art, decals over painted walls, closet lining, pattern designs, murals and much more. This impacts our customers and helps them see today’s wallpaper designs in a whole new way,” stated Wallpapers To Go CEO Harold Otto.

“While wallpaper of today is more durable than paint and features innovative designs and vibrant colors, watching known designers use it in innovative new ways has been a huge draw and really re-energizes sales,” added Otto.

Otto further explained that returning customers are often surprised that the sophisticated new wallpaper is frequently less expensive than most of the faux finishes and designer paints – and many even easier to work with.

Wallpapers To Go is a national retailer of wallpaper, borders and home decorating accessories. Their stores feature the largest selection of the world’s best border, wallpaper and mural designs from leading manufacturers and distributors in stock as well as special order. In addition to wallpaper, Wallpapers To Go carries an extensive selection of window coverings, framed art, coordinating fabrics and home accessories.

Wallpapers To Go has an online store that offers a thorough How To guide, wallpaper calculator, color guide with over 260,000 colors to choose from and hundreds of wallpaper books through which customers can browse.

To learn more about Wallpapers To Go and to view their online catalog, log onto http://www.wallpaperstogo.com or call 1-800-843-7094 to find the location nearest you.

AdSemble Launches “DOOHFeed” To Centralize The Conversation About Digital Out Of Home (DOOH)













Los Gatos (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

Today marks a new day in the world of Digital Out of Home (DOOH). Los Gatos based Digital Signage Advertising Network AdSemble has launched a web app that acts as a centralized discussion hub for anything related to DOOH.

The new addition to the AdSemble website allows users to share articles related to DOOH and vote on their favorites. Similar to websites like Digg and Reddit, DOOHFeed is a place where DOOH industry members can discover what articles are receiving the most buzz, and what articles may not be worth investigating further.

The website also acts as a great place for new or lesser-known DOOH writers to get more attention towards their publications.

In an interview, AdSemble’s Jason Habing shed some light on the motivation behind, goals of, and future plans for the DOOH Feed.

“There has always been a gap in the exploration of DOOH publications. There are plenty of media outlets, but no way to sift through or sort all the news. We created DOOHFeed to solve this very problem.”

When asked about the future of DOOHFeed, Habing described a vision of “the go-to online community for DOOH industry members.”

For now, the Beta version web app is fully functional, allowing users to upload links and vote on posted links, but Habing describes a future 2.0 version where members can “message other users, create industry specific groups, and create a truly centralized DOOH community.”

There has already been some early adoption to the app, and AdSemble expects impressive growth in the next few months.

For more information, or to test out the app, visit the AdSemble DOOHFeed right now.

DoSomething.org and Teen-Focused Documentary BULLY to Expose the Truth about Bullying through ‘DoSomething.org’s Bully Project’










New York, NY (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

DoSomething.org has had it with bullying and the adults who don’t stand up and do something. With the help of spokesperson Victoria Justice and the much buzzed about documentary, BULLY released in theaters March 30th, DoSomething.org is giving teens a chance to address the realities of bullying in their schools and identify ways to make a change through the first ever student-led nationwide bullying census.

When bullying is witnessed, teens only intervene 11% of the time, while adults interfere even less so. Shockingly, most of the time there is NO intervention. Instead of continuing on the trend of issuing statistics gleaned from adult insights, DoSomething.org is finally lending a voice to those directly affected by bullying: the teens themselves.

Running through May, and acting as the kick-off initiative for the BULLY film social action campaign, DoSomething.org’s Bully Project urges students to speak up about bullying via a short Facebook quiz. The questions were created for teens by teens — namely those in DoSomething.org’s Youth Advisory Council, comprised of 200 young people across the country. Once completed, the students will get immediate results stating how their school is rated against the nationwide average, and they are encouraged to share the census and results with all of their Facebook friends. The census has been vetted by experts who develop sustainable solutions to bullying, and who are advising on how to use the data in meaningful, empirical ways to bring about lasting change.

At the close of the campaign, DoSomething.org and BULLY will issue the results, consisting of a national report card with information gathered from the students themselves.

Teens who participate by taking the short quiz will have the chance of being randomly selected to receive a college scholarship of up to ,000. Bonus! The more people who share the census with their Facebook friends, the more the scholarship increases, making this the first ‘social scholarship’ DoSomething.org has ever offered.

Victoria Justice isn’t tolerating bullying either. She has joined DoSomething.org’s anti-bullying brigade that includes celebs such as Vinny Guadagnino and Brittany Snow, to create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) encouraging students and fans alike to take five minutes out of their day to help improve the state of bullying in our school systems. SparkNotes is also supporting the fight against bullies and joining DoSomething.org’s Bully Project by spreading the word about the campaign to their vast student audience.

“If we all stand together and bring awareness to bullying, we can help put an end to it,” said campaign spokesperson, Victoria Justice. “Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself.”

“Our documentary sets out to expose the day to day often shocking and devastating reality many children face in schools around the nation by following the lives of children, families, schools, and communities impacted by the atrocities of bullying,” said Lee Hirsch, BULLY director and Emmy-award winning filmmaker. “DoSomething.org’s Bully Project is making it possible to now reach these affected children all over the nation and give us an opportunity to further empower everyone to get up and do something about it.”

“This project is one my teenage self would actually like to do,” says Catie Miller, director of business development at DoSomething.org. “By joining forces with BULLY, we’re able to help teens turn the tables — now it’s their turn to issue a grade that could potentially change lives.”

To view Victoria Justice’s PSA and get started on ‘DoSomething.org’s Bully Project,’ visit http://www.dosomething.org/bullyproject or text “BULLY” to 877877.

About DoSomething.org:

We love teens. They are creative, active, wired…and frustrated that our world is so messed up. DoSomething.org harnesses that awesome energy and unleashes it on causes teens care about. Almost every week, we launch a new national campaign. The call to action is always something that has a real impact and doesn’t require money, an adult, or a car. With a goal of 5 million active members by 2015, DoSomething.org is one of the largest organizations in the US for teens and social change. Join us at http://www.DoSomething.org.

About BULLY:

Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, Bully is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America’s bullying crisis. Bully follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus. With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals’ offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children. As teachers, administrators, kids and parents struggle to find answers, Bully examines the dire consequences of bullying through the testimony of strong and courageous youth. Through the power of their stories, the film aims to be a catalyst for change in the way we deal with bullying as parents, teachers, children and society as a whole.

Miss Fido Manners Provides Petiquette Advice To Dog Owners About Behaving At The Beach










New York, New York (PRWEB) July 6, 2009

Enjoy the sand and sea with your pooch this summer! Before embarking on a beachside retreat, however, review the following tips from pet expert Charlotte Reed, the author of The Miss Fido Manners Complete Book of Dog Etiquette (Adams Media). Learn how to be a socially aware pet owner while you and your pooch are basking in the sun and surf.

1. Check In Advance-Prior to arriving at your beach destination, with your dog in tow, check with the city, municipality or state park to determine if your pet is allowed on the beach. During peak tourist season, typically May-September, there is a greater likelihood that dogs will not be welcome on the beach or may be subjected to restricted hours (before 9:00 AM or after 6:00 PM). Find out a beach’s pet policy in advance of your visit so, if needed, alternate accommodations for your pet can be secured.

2. Pack Prepared-Your pet has needs at the beach just as they do at home. To ensure your dog has as great a time as you do, pack extra water, a plastic reusable water bowl, doggy clean up bags and/or pooper scooper, water safety equipment, such as a life vest or preserver, a first aid kit, waterproof and/or antimicrobial leash and collar, and floating dog toys that can be seen on the top of the ocean, thwarting a dog’s need to dive beneath the waves in pursuit of a beloved toy.

3. Comply with Leash Laws-Allowing your dog to roam free on the beach can be dangerous to both your pet and other occupants. By keeping your pet on a leash at all times, you ensure that your pet is under control, out of harms way, unable to bother other beach goers or have an altercation with another dog. In many cases, leash laws can regulate the lengths of leashes to 6 or 8 feet. In that case, your pet may not be able to run at the end of a retractable. Be aware of all leash laws as most are coupled with a monetary fine for those choosing to disregard this common sense, and common courtesy, rule.

4. Training for Good Measure-Teach your pet to recall, or to come on command so that you can have verbal control over when he is off-leash.

5. Take Care of the Environment-Environmentalists, state and local agencies are concerned with the preservation of wildlife that nests and plants that are grown on the coastal shore. Be sure your frolicking dog does not disturb nests or destroy area wildlife in their quest for enjoyment.

6. Frequent Pet Friendly Areas-As a conciliatory measure for dog owners some local governments and state parks have designated shoreline dog play areas. Such areas are like a dog park at the beach! As a result, treat the dog beach like your dog park at home. Show your appreciation for local government and state parks recognition by complying with the posted rules and regulations. Supervise your pet at all times as they revel in playing with the other dogs in the water and swimming. And just like at home, remove your pet from the action if a fight breaks out.

7. Pick-Up after Your Pet-Dog waste on the beach can ruin any beach lovers day. One of the main reasons pets have been prohibited at the beach is because of the waste their owners choose to leave behind, polluting the sand and surf. Be respectful of the beach and its patrons, pick up and dispose of all dog waste in appropriate receptacles. This does not necessarily include the garbage cans of a homeowner that lives on the shoreline. Use public access waste facilities or take dog waste with you for disposal.

8. Quick Rinse-Being itchy and irritated isn’t fun for anyone, this includes your pet. After a day at the beach rinse your pooch off with water at a convenient beachside shower to remove sand, salt and small beach bugs. This will keep your dog comfortable and your hotel, rental home or beach house clean.

By observing Charlotte Reed’s tips, you will be able to share more of your life with your pet this summer beach season.

For more suggestions from The Miss Fido Manner’s Complete Book of Dog Etiquette, please visit http://www.MissFidoManners . c o m or purchase the book at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Borders.

About Charlotte Reed

Since abandoning life on Wall Street as a corporate lawyer to open Two Dogs & A Goat Incorporated, Charlotte Reed has grown her company to a premiere, full-service, pet care provider with loyal clients and countless veterinarian referrals. From working with hundreds of dogs over the years, Reed has learned how to be a good pet parent and model pet owner, and she doesn’t see any reason to keep what she knows a secret. Reed has been seen as a guest on television shows like Inside Edition, The View, Today’s Show; quoted in publications like the Boston Herald, Chicago Tribune, The Herald Tribune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Family Circle, Good Housekeeping, New York Magazine, US Weekly and Woman’s Day; and heard discussing responsible dog ownership on many of the country’s most popular radio shows. In July 2007, her book, The Miss Fido Manners Complete Book of Etiquette (Adams Media), hit store shelves across the country. In her book, Reed instructs dog owners how to behave with their dogs so that they can be better dog owners, neighbors, customers, travelers and co-workers. Reed also works as a pet industry consultant. Although many manufacturers have hired her as a spokesperson, she also works with advertising, marketing, PR and social media firms as a pet trend expert, providing a unique understanding of what drives pet consumer behavior. Charlotte is married to Philadelphia Chef Matthew Babbage and is the owner of four dogs, two cats and one parrot.

PocketCents Will Be Speaking About Local Online Advertising Partnerships at the Borrell Local Online Advertising Conference in New York City, March 21-22, 2012.











Learn about Local Advertising Partnerships with PocketCents at Borrell’s conference next week.


Shelby Township, Michigan (PRWEB) March 16, 2012

PocketCents will be speaking about local online advertising partnerships at the Borrell Local Online Advertising Conference next week. The conference is set for March 21st and 22nd, and will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City. The Borrell Associates are one of the leading marketing intelligence firms, and their conference attracts an impressive assortment media and digital publishing companies. PocketCents is reaching out to both ad networks and ad publishers to exhibit exactly how and why they should consider local online advertising. PocketCents will discuss increasing click through rates, maximizing revenue generation, and best tactics for partnering with PocketCents.

PocketCents has three major partnership opportunities, the first one of which is for online ad publishers. Publishers are websites, digital news publications, apps or blogs that are trying to monetize their traffic with advertising. Using local targeting, PocketCents offers a flat-rate payout for clicks, higher CTR, and significant revenue generation advantages for publishers over other systems. PocketCents shares the industry standard 60% with the publisher for their clicks, and the flat-rate payout translates to significant earning potential for publishers.

The second type partnership available is for ad networks. Ad networks can utilize PocketCents technology to distribute their ads on the PocketCents network. PocketCents can distribute national, international and local ad feeds to thousands of publisher websites. PocketCents can easily incorporate API and XML feeds utilizing provided ad information to target specific demographics of consumers. Innovative keyword technology improves compatibility with network integration. Additionally, PocketCents has a low-flat rate which facilitates doing business with most networks.

The third type of partnership is called co-registration. These partners are websites with advertising space, and they also have their own advertisers who utilize this space. Many websites utilize their own advertising to generate revenue, but they often rely on external marketing to increase traffic to their content. Other times they may want to increase the size of advertising budgets than they can fill. Co-registration’s goal is to provide a solution that generates ad revenue and increases traffic to partner websites simultaneously. Partner websites are no longer limited to their own resources to expand. They can leverage the PocketCents network using their own advertisers to expand their user base. Partners share ads and advertisers with PocketCents, and PocketCents supplies traffic and revenue to the partner.

PocketCents is excited to be presenting at the Borrell Local Online Advertising Conference next week. Local online advertising is the foundation of the PocketCents system, and PocketCents looks forward to connecting with other industry leaders.

Rottenstein Law Group Dismayed by Report of Widespread Conspiracy to Keep Hip Recipients in Dark About Dangers











The Rottenstein Law Group, LLP

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 05, 2012

In a feature article published on February 28, the British peer-reviewed medical journal BMJ asserted that “[h]undreds of thousands of patients around the world may have been exposed to toxic substances after being implanted with poorly regulated and potentially dangerous hip devices.” BMJ writer Deborah Cohen suggests: “Despite the fact that these risks have been known and well documented for decades, patients have been kept in the dark about their participation in what has effectively been a large uncontrolled experiment.”

In 1990, the BMJ article reports, the World Health Organization International Agency for the Research on Cancer “released a monograph listing hexavalent chromium as a proved carcinogen; trivalent chromium a potential carcinogen; and cobalt ions a probable carcinogen.” But only recently, after the early failure of thousands of hip implants, “have tests from the London Implant Retrieval Centre, a centre that tests prostheses, confirmed that trivalent chromium is the ion being released [by metal-on-metal implants].”

In the United States, Cohen notes, the FDA considered the parts of metal-on-metal total hip replacements to be “like other heads, cups and stems already in use.” Consequently, the devices could be—and were—cleared for sale through a less rigorous process, which requires no clinical studies.

The BMJ piece quotes Michael Carome, deputy director of the not-for-profit consumer advocacy group Public Citizen’s Health Research Group: “This is one very large uncontrolled experiment exposing millions of patients to an unknown risk. We will only find out about the safety of these devices after large numbers of people have already been exposed.”

Moreover, just hours before the BMJ report was published, the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency issued an advisory to surgeons, telling them that patients who have received metal-on-metal implants should have annual checkups for life, according to a press release from the MHRA.

In August of 2010, DePuy, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, announced a global recall of its ASR Hip Resurfacing System and ASR XL Acetabular System—both of which had been approved under the FDA’s less stringent 510(k) process. 93,000 persons worldwide had an ASR device implanted before the recall, according to data published by DePuy itself. DePuy recalled its ASR devices after the National Joint Registry of England and Wales made public data showing that, within five years, about 12% of recipients of the hip resurfacing system and about 13% of recipients of the acetabular system needed corrective surgery, as reported by the New York Times. The ASR devices fail at higher-than-normal rates because the metal components grind together, eroding the implants and poisoning the surrounding tissues and blood stream with cobalt and chromium ions.

Rochelle Rottenstein, principal of the Rottenstein Law Group, says, “We implore anyone with a friend or relative who has received a hip replacement device since 2003 to reach out to that person and recommend that he or she consult a physician immediately and then speak to a qualified personal injury lawyer.”

The Rottenstein Law Group maintains a DePuy Settlements Information Center at http://www.depuysettlement . c o m.
