INCORRECT GOVERNMENT INFORMATION COULD BE HURTING CHRONIC FATIGUE SYDROME PATIENTS, NEW RESEARCH FINDS
PRESS RELEASE: NEW YORK, NY (11/20/2013) – An untold number of New Yorkers, perhaps well over 100,000, who have been diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) could be at risk of relapsing and exacerbating their condition due to a course of a treatment suggested to them by the federal government, according to groundbreaking new research.
At a medical conference today sponsored by the New York ME and CFS Center at Mt. Sinai and held at the New York Academy of Medicine, researchers showed that a form of treatment called Graded Exercise Therapy (GET) which has been lauded by the UK’s National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) and recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may not help ME/CFS, but actually can make it worse. Unfortunately, the CDC has long been touting that certain exercise regimens can help manage the disease, even offering guidance on their website.
Dr. Derek Enlander, Dr. Eric Schadt, Dr. Miriam Merad, Dr. Christian Becker and a team of researchers at Mt. Sinai Medical Center have discovered new research on ME/CFS that could change the way the disease is treated. Their research shows that the disease is tied to the immune system much more than originally thought. A recent study showed patients can actually relapse when they partake in excessive exercise, and other therapies maybe more effective.
“We want to raise awareness about this disease, how it affects the body and the best way to treat it,” Dr. Enlander said. “For too long, this disease has been misunderstood, leading to a poor quality of life for far too many patients. We hope to change all that.”
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis was first identified in the mid-1950s, by Dr. Melvin Ramsay of London’s Royal Free Hospital, after being suspected of outbreaks dating back at least two decades’ prior. What is thought to have been an outbreak in Nevada’s Incline Village in the mid-1980s, mirroring one in rural upstate New York’s Lyndonville, led to the CDC officially recognizing a condition reduced Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 1988 following the elimination of the Epsten-Barr virus as a potential culprit. The CDC has displayed an inconsistent track record ever since, diverting millions of dollars earmarked for research in the disease to other causes in a scandal uncovered some 15 years ago. Recent estimates suggest that hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. suffer from CFS, although the CDC is thought to have both underestimated the severity of the disease, while overestimating the numbers, as they have reported a disease prevalence of 2.54% in the U.S. This figure is not accepted by experts in the field. Using the more-accepted figure of 0.4% would estimate the number of sufferers in the New York City Metropolitan area alone at over a half million patients, the majority of whom are likely undiagnosed.
The illness which afflicts women to a greater degree than men, causes severe immunologic dysfunction, profound loss of energy (sometimes referred to as fatigue, though in many cases patients would report that this term is inadequate as a descriptor), sleep disorders, neurological disturbances, pain, and other symptoms. Underlying causes and treatments for CFS have been elusive, but new research is shedding light on how the disease works.

Be a Part of a Unique Fresh Produce Food Drive This #GivingTuesday
YouGiveGoods promotes an online drive to raise nutritional food for area hungry
PRESS RELEASE (11/18/2013)- Thanksgiving is the time to enjoy family, food, and friends. We eat to excess and complain about weight and leftovers for days to come afterwards. For millions in our community, this simply isn’t possible.
The food insecure face unique challenges. They eat when they can, what they can, where they can. Low-income neighborhoods frequently lack full-service grocery stores and farmers markets. Shopping is limited to small neighborhood convenience and corner stores, where fresh produce and high-nutrition items are limited, if available. Items at food sourcing organizations are restrained by what is donated and their own budgets: meaning it is often more of the same canned foods and non-perishable items.
Compounding the food insecure’s daily challenge of finding nutritional items is the fact that healthy foods are more expensive. They must stretch their limited resources by buying cheap, mass quantity food. Unfortunately, this lifestyle often leads to obesity, diabetes and other health related risks. Added costs that neither food insecure nor society can afford.
This #GivingTuesday, the national movement encouraging individuals and companies to give on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, YouGiveGoods is taking a different approach to help the hungry by promoting a drive to raise fresh produce in New York City, New Jersey and Philadelphia. Do not go to the store just yet. This unique drive utilizes an online platform:
http://yougivegoodslovesfreshproduce.yougivegoods.com/ YouGiveGoods is encouraging our community to give back by going online to donate fresh produce, as well as other highly nutritional goods, to nonprofits in the area.
Why online rather than in person? Dropping food off is often the most inefficient means of helping our nonprofits, and for many it is a process which dissuades them from even donating. Due to strict laws regarding what goods can and cannot be used by organizations, up to 55% of donations may need to be discarded. To compound matters, in the modern age, the entire process of purchasing, storing and dropping off goods may prevent people from taking part in a drive. YouGiveGoods is the most efficient means of donating goods.
There is no excuse this year not to help the area’s food insecure. This #GivingTuesday, lets get involved with a national movement by focusing on our local area.
About YouGiveGoods: YouGiveGoods is a unique in-kind goods donation platform based in Mendham, NJ. Founded in 2011, YouGiveGoods has worked with hundreds of nonprofits nationwide to provide efficient and effective good drives.

Lee Abbott of Fleur de Lis Counseling Center to be Featured on Close-Up Talk Radio
PRESS RELEASE: Newnan, GA (11/15/2013) – In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the fleur-de-lis came to symbolize rebirth, regrowth and a new beginning for the city of New Orleans. So when Lee Abbott relocated to rural Georgia to open a small private counseling practice, he knew exactly what to call it: Fleur de Lis Counseling Center.
“I liked the idea of that and how it could be applied to my clients,” says Abbott. “I also wanted to bring a little bit of my hometown with me. It’s become what I always wanted to be and it’s all because I’ve been helping people.”
Today, Fleur de Lis Counseling Center provides counseling services in the all areas “to restore hope to those who have lost it.”
“A good counselor is always trying to put themselves out of business,” says Abbott. “The counselors I saw when I was younger, I’d still be going to see them if they had their way. My focus is to meet my clients where they are and get them where they want to be as fast as humanly possible.”
Abbott describes his approach to counseling as “Reality Therapy” which has proven tremendously effective with his clients, the majority of which are couples seeking to resolve their communication issues.
“People go into marriage these days thinking, ‘I love this person. There are things about them I don’t like but I can change that.’ You can’t go into a relationship that way. Each person in a relationship brings their own baggage into the relationship. So we work on accepting the other person for what they are.
“Couples counseling is twice as complicated as working with an individual because you have two different people with two different agendas and twice as many emotions.”
Abbott says his goal as a counselor is to provide support and practical feedback to help his clients resolve their current problems and gain more satisfaction out of life.”
“A lot of people think counseling is about advice and it’s not,” says Abbott. “It’s about helping someone figure out their own problems so they won’t need to go to counseling anymore. They take ownership and responsibility for their own lives and that’s empowering.”
Close-Up Talk Radio will feature Lee Abbott in an interview with Doug Llewelyn on November 19th at 3pm.
Listen to the show www.blogtalkradio.com/closeuptalkradio. If you have a question for our guest, call (347) 996-3389.

LifeLine Technique Expert Esther L. Klein LCSW to be Featured on Close-Up Talk Radio
PRESS RELEASE: Safety Harbor, FL (11/15/2013) – So much of who we are and what we do is controlled by our subconscious mind. Often when faced with an emotional problem, consciously we know what to do. So why aren’t we doing it?
Esther Klein is a licensed clinical social worker specializing in helping people build strong, healthy relationships, resolve trauma, and live authentic lives. With over 38 years of experience in private practice, Klein integrates both traditional and contemporary psychotherapy modalities to promote holistic healing and wellness.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, which is always the foundation, Klein now offers alternative modalities including (but not limited to) Eden Energy Medicine (EEM), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the LifeLine Technique. The LifeLine technique is a sophisticated modality enabling clients to activate and integrate their subconscious patterns affecting the health of their body and the relationships in their lives by raising their consciousness.
“What I like about this approach is that it’s so complete and comprehensive,” says Klein.
According to Klein, our negative emotions disrupt our body’s energy systems. These unresolved negative emotions are a major contributor to most physical pains and diseases. Using techniques from EEM and/or Energy Psychology, clients are given tools to balance their electro-magnetic system so they feel more grounded and alive
“There’s so much new research in how the brain works, how energy works,” says Klein. “This stuff isn’t just weird stuff, this is real. Research now shows that many ideas from systems such as yoga and acupuncture can be integrated into psychotherapy. Einstein was right – everything is energy!
“Everybody is the same and everybody is different,” adds Klein. “There are things we all want but we all have our own stories and ways of processing the world. My clients work with me to gain a different perspective which often helps them see things in a more positive way. They also learn how important it is to care for themselves and ways to better accomplish their self-care.”
Close-Up Talk Radio will feature Esther Klein in a two-part interview with Doug Llewelyn on November 18th at 6pm and with Jim Masters on November 25th at 6pm.

Therefore, R.T.F is releasing WOW Antlers. This homing device allows Santa’s team of eight to know where they can rest and feed to regain their energy. With the purchase of WOW Antlers, the owner pledges to leave food out for the reindeer. In return the reindeer will leave a special surprise.
The LB Marketing team hopes that people looking to celebrate the holiday season find the product and WOW Antler story as fun as they do. “These antlers are meant to bring smiles to all who see them,” says Kaye. “And, as residents of Atlanta, we spend a lot of time in traffic.

Forex traders raise $18,300 for Breast Cancer Awareness
LAKE MARY, Fla. (Nov. 7, 2013) – Florida Hospital’s Breast Cancer Foundation is receiving a $18,300.52 check from local forex education provider Market Traders Institute, Inc. During the entire month of October, forex trader and MTI Head Market Analyst, Joshua Martinez, put more than $10,000 (provided by MTI) at risk in a live currency trading account with his eye set on raising thousands of dollars for Florida Hospital’s Pink Army October campaign which aids men and women in our local community who have been or will be affected by breast cancer during their lifetime.
“We constantly say that Forex trading changes people’s lives. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we wanted to see if we could save lives through trading,” said Joshua Martinez. “After pulling the efforts of both MTI and Next Step Financial Holdings’ staffs, we were able to make that happen. It was hard work and a little stressful knowing that we set a big $15,000 goal in the Forex Trading for Ta-Tas campaign especially since it was the first time we’ve ever done anything like it. Now that it’s over, we’re all anxious to do more to help Central Floridians.”
A large $15,000 donation goal went by quickly after only two and a half weeks into the campaign where not only did Martinez trade for the fundraiser using the same trading tools used by MTI students, but also MTI and NSFH employees pitched in by raising thousands in a casual for a cure campaign where they donated a dollar a day to dress casual during breast cancer awareness month. On October 31, the final donation total equaled $18,300.52. The final amount exceeded the goal by more than 22 percent. Being the first campaign of its nature for these organizations, moods and hopes are now high for another community effort of this kind.
“MTI has been in Central Florida for more than 19 years now and we are very proud to call this place our home with the wonderful people that we get to meet day in and day out,” said Jared Martinez, CEO and Founder of Market Traders Institute, Inc. “From my family, I know three women who have struggled with the painstaking and life changing effects of breast cancer. Only two are now survivors. When it comes to being able to use the skills that we are most passionate about to help the people in our community who mean so much to us, this was a big task, yet it was a complete no-brainer for us. Even if we could help just one woman like my sister or my aunt, it would all be worth it.”
“Interestingly enough, I traded using just one strategy alone for the entire month,” said Joshua Martinez. “Simplicity always wins in my book. Plus, more than a 100 percent return on the investment always put a smile on any trader.”
Joshua Martinez is making this trading strategy public as well to finish off this campaign. The strategy can be seen during a live presentation. For dates and times, click here: http://goo.gl/gJwDWB

Featured Abstract:
“Acquisition of High Quality Tissues to Support Genome Wide Association Studies”
Latarsha Carithers, PhD, Project Manager, Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research, National Cancer Institute
The Genotype-Tissue Expression project is a NIH Common Fund study that is aimed at understanding how genetic variation influences gene expression in normal tissues. The purpose of this presentation is to describe a biospecimen collection platform that was developed to address the logistical challenges of acquiring a large collection of high-quality tissues from rapid autopsy and organ donors that was needed to support genome wide association analysis for this study.
Sample Prep Conference Overview:
SAMPLE PREP EAST Conference is the 8th meeting in the Knowledge Foundation’s Sample Prep Conference Series – an internationally recognized meeting for experts in sample preparation technologies for detection, identification, diagnostics and analysis of biomedical, biological and chemical agents, substances and threats in point-of-care, laboratory and field settings will explore the latest R&D developments, ready-to-market technologies, and their applications by exploring the following topical areas:
- Robust methodologies for sample collection, (pre-)concentration, lysis, and target extraction
- Critical role of sample prep in early diagnostics
- Rapid sample-to-sequence techniques
- Point-of-care sampling, detection and analysis
- Sample preparation with microfluidics
- Sample prep-on-a-chip
- Robust sampling methodologies (automation, high-throughput, combinatorial approach in sample prep)
- Alternative amplification techniques for sensitive sample prep
- Sample preparation as a separate system vs. an integrated module approach
- End-user prospective for biodetection and sampling technologies and devices

Peter Jacobs and Shark Communications Launch New Bank Marketing for Brookline
BURLINGTON, VT– Oct 31, 2013) – A new level of sophistication and creativity in bank advertising will soon be visible in the latest bank marketing campaign from Shark Communications. Developed for Brookline Bank, a Boston based bank that is part of the Brookline Bancorp (NASDAQ: BRKL) network of community banks, the new advertising features a variety of upscale and stylish images, text, and headlines positioning Brookline Bank as a valuable banking partner to its customers. In one of the first ads to be launched, an image of a barefoot couple on a beach is paired with the headline, “Calm is three days with your shoes off … knowing your bank is always on.” The ads follow a bank marketing strategy originally developed by Shark in conjunction with an overall rebranding effort for Brookline Bank in 2008. This approach was designed to shift the overall brand image of Brookline Bank and to attract a younger and perhaps more affluent demographic.
Peter Jacobs, Shark Communications’ Creative Director noted, “The new brand marketing for Brookline Bank represents a focus by Chief Executive Officer Paul Perrault and the bank’s executive management for rather sophisticated marketing strategies based on distinguishing the bank in the greater Boston marketplace with well-managed brand image marketing. It’s not typical of most bank marketing which tends to be more populated by standard themes such as community, trust, savings rates and various bank products.”
Following previous marketing programs established by the agency for Brookline, Shark will execute the new bank campaign across multiple media channels. These channels include search, social, mobile, print and outdoor media.
Shark Communications, and Strategic/Creative Director Peter Jacobs, offers nearly three decades of creative excellence and deep, strategic knowledge of bank marketing. Shark serves a variety of clients with integrated and interactive marketing solutions, with an expertise in bank branding, advertising, web development, SEO/SEM, and digital public relations.

Arrow Flick: Shoot straight. Or be lame.
New archery game for iOS and Android features 150 rounds of big-time hunting — and heckling
KANSAS CITY, MO-Arrow Flick — a one-finger archery game from PocketCake, the makers of the popular mobile game LavaCat — is now available for iOS and Android devices.
What if you could have the excitement of bowhunting at your fingertips whenever you want? What if you didn’t need to drive to a remote spot, climb into your tree stand and wait and wait and wait?
In Arrow Flick, players are given five arrows per round, which are strategically flung at standing targets, prowling animals and dangling fruit. Gameplay unfolds in one of two landscapes, savanna or forest. The savanna is populated by lions, crocodiles and rhinos, while the forest is home to deer, bears and rabbits. Players are awarded points and special achievements (93 for iOS; 183 for Android) for hits, kill shots, bull’s eyes, headshots, tricks, even misses. If players stray too far from the mark, they can earn such achievements as stumblebum, klutz or spazoid. Ace their marks, however, and they may be deemed the next Robin Hood.
Arrow Flick includes three game modes (easy, normal, high wind challenge), each with 50 rounds. As the rounds or game modes advance, the winds become stronger, the animals’ kill zones smaller and their tendency to get spooked greater. Steadiness with the bow is harder and harder to maintain.
Accompanying players in their challenge is a musical score that’s heavy on silly sound effects and nature sounds – birds singing, winds moaning, animals shuffling across the landscape. Players can hear the tautness of the string as its pulled back, the twang of the arrow’s release and the thud when it strikes its target. When an animal is killed, it cries with agony. Every headshot to a standing target is followed by a bloodcurdling yowl.
Arrow Flick includes three easy rounds and three normal rounds for free. A full version of the game costs $.99. To aid players in their quest, they can buy quivers that hold 10, 15 or 20 arrows or buy arrows that improve their ability to aim or steer. They can also earn badges to retry a round.
PocketCake’s first game, LavaCat – which launched on Android in late July and iOS, Facebook and Ouya in late September – has been downloaded more than 100,000 times. It is the first mobile game allowing players to rewind time.
