Vets Prevail CEO Richard Gengler Participates In Workforce Initiatives Roundtable Discussion with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
Vets Prevail CEO Richard Gengler Participates In Workforce Initiatives Roundtable Discussion with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 10, 2011
Vets Prevail Chief Executive Officer Richard Gengler participated in a roundtable discussion on employment opportunities for veterans on Monday, November 07, 2011 held at the Goldman Sachs headquarters in New York City.
The roundtable discussion brought together business and community leaders along with U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta to discuss ways to create job opportunities for returning veterans. The discussion focused on what the private sector can do to help returning veterans get jobs and what the government can do to better prepare veterans for employment. Additionally during the discussion, Goldman Sachs Gives, the firm’s donor-advised fund, detailed more than $ 5 million in grants to organizations focusing on reintegrating veterans into the workforce.
“This was an exciting discussion,” said Mr. Gengler,” I could feel the momentum building behind real solutions that are going to put a lot of unemployed veterans back to work.”
During the discussion, Mr. Gengler provided an update on progress of a program he has created called Vets Prevail, set to be launched nationally this December with the support of Goldman Sachs Gives. Vets Prevail is a veteran based online program that provides mental health support to reluctant care seekers outside a clinical setting, preventing disorders like PTSD and depression. Veteran mental health problems and veteran unemployment are inextricably linked, with one often feeding into the other.
“Our country owes a great deal to the thousands of men and women returning to civilian life from the armed forces,” said Lloyd C. Blankfein, Chairman and CEO of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. “Veterans have the experience and abilities to help our economy grow, and the business community is focused on helping them to find the jobs and opportunities that employ their skills.”
“Veteran unemployment is a complicated problem,” said Mr. Gengler, “and to get a handle on it we need to attack it on all possible fronts.”
Everyone at the meeting agreed that the high veteran unemployment rate cannot be ignored. It was adjourned with an air of enthusiasm for further discussions, and further support for promising efforts.
Vets Prevail (http://vetsprevail.com) is an innovative new online mental health tool that is tailored specifically to today’s Veterans, helping ease transition to life after military service and tackle post deployment re-adjustment challenges. The core content is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the standard of care for treatment of symptoms related to PTSD and depression. The program incorporates interactive multimedia e-learning lessons, peer support, diagnostic self-assessments, and proprietary software for scheduling and tracking user activities, thoughts, and feelings. Vets Prevail was founded by Veterans and developed through the collaboration of mental health researchers and clinicians at top universities and hospitals.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm that provides a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals. Founded in 1869, the firm is headquartered in New York and maintains offices in all major financial centers around the world.

CanadaPharmacy.com’s CanadaCare Plan Records Benchmark Year, Saves Customers Millions
CanadaPharmacy.com’s CanadaCare Plan Records Benchmark Year, Saves Customers Millions
VANCOUVER, BC (PRWEB) December 26, 2011
With rising healthcare costs affecting millions in the U.S. and around the world, many are looking for alternatives to cope with the inflated prices of lifesaving medications and prescriptions. And many are finding this relief with CanadaPharmacy.com’s CanadaCare Plan.
CanadaPharmacy.com has been offering top-shelf medications to customers around the globe at a fraction of the cost for many years. This success, says CanadaPharmacy.com Marketing Manager Steve Crawford, is what has fueled a record year for the company. “As prescription costs continue to rise, many people are turning to our CanadaCare Plan due to its reputation as a more affordable alternative to Medicare,” says Crawford. In 2011, CanadaPharmacy.com saw an all-time high number of enrollments in their CanadaCare Plan – a plan that, unlike other programs, has no restrictions on age, income, health or current prescription expenses.
The CanadaCare Plan works by offering customers a wide variety of discounts based on the type of plan in which they have enrolled. For example, once a customer has spent $ 400 on a Gold or Platinum Plan with CanadaPharmacy.com, they automatically begin to receive a 5% discount on all subsequent orders for the year. And as soon as the customer hits $ 1000, the discount jumps to 10%. “By offering these deep discounts on high quality prescription medications,” Crawford adds, “we have saved our customers millions of dollars that they normally would have had to pay.”
Currently, CanadaPharmacy.com is the only online pharmacy offering the CanadaCare plan to customers in the U.S, with the 2012 program beginning on January 1, 2012 and a sign-up deadline of January 31, 2012. This fact, added to the company’s renowned customer service, is what Crawford believes is the key to his company’s success. “A lot of other online pharmacies and government programs treat customers like a number, where we are focused on the individual needs and health of each person who signs up with our services. This is the reason we are able to continuously grow even after being in the business for all of these years.”
About CanadaPharmacy.com
CanadaPharmacy.com is the leading online pharmacy, serving customers in the U.S. and around the world. With over 500,000 customers and 2 million prescriptions delivered, CanadaPharmacy.com is the most trusted online pharmacy in the industry, offering quality medications, top-notch customer service, and affordable plan options. CanadaPharmacy.com offers their customers a “lowest price guarantee,” meaning that if a customer finds a lower price from another Canadian online pharmacy, they will beat the price.

Autism Speaks Top 10 Autism Research Achievements of 2011
Autism Speaks Top 10 Autism Research Achievements of 2011
New York, NY (PRWEB) December 22, 2011
Autism Speaks, the world’s largest autism science and advocacy organization, has released its annual list of the 10 most significant science achievements to have impacted autism during the previous year. Every year, Autism Speaks documents the progress made toward its mission to discover the causes and treatment for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and identifies the Top 10 Autism Research Achievements of the year. For 2011, Autism Speaks’ Top Ten list includes discoveries on how frequently autism recurs in families and the extent to which “environmental,” or non-genetic, influences, increase the risk of autism in those who are genetically predisposed to this developmental disorder. These important results continue to shape the future of autism research for 2012 and beyond.
“Not only has the research community continued to make significant progress towards effective treatments, 2011 offered some game-changing discoveries which help us understand underlying causes of ASD,” explained Autism Speaks Chief Science Officer Geraldine Dawson, Ph.D. “Some of these discoveries will have direct and immediate impact on quality of life of people with autism.”
The 2011 list reflects the exponential rate of discovery in autism research, supported by the joint commitment of government health agencies and private organizations such as Autism Speaks in supporting this vital work.
“The recent reauthorization of the Combating Autism Act was critical to ensuring a continued federal commitment to supporting autism research and services that will improve our understanding of autism and help people with autism lead productive and fulfilling lives,” stated Autism Speaks President Mark Roithmayr. “I applaud the thousands of families nationwide who joined Autism Speaks Walks as well as our many corporate sponsors whose support and funding are enabling us to move forward,” Roithmayr added. “Working together – families, scientists, professionals, government officials – we are making progress through science and advocacy.”
With input from Autism Speaks’ Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), Autism Speaks science staff culled through thousands of publications to arrive at these choices. “These outstanding scientific advances are changing the way we think about autism and its causes,” said SAC member Gary Goldstein, M.D., president and chief executive officer of the Kennedy Krieger Institute. “From the game-changing twin study to the emerging clues on environmental risk factors, these studies highlight the important role of gene-environmental interactions in autism.”
This year’s highlights also reflect discoveries which advance translational research – the science of designing drugs to address core symptoms of autism. Research in 2011 also delivered evidence that may yield immediate benefits, that adequate folic acid around the time of conception may lower autism risk, and the validation of a method for screening at one year that may enable earlier intervention to improve children’s outcomes. An international study from South Korea not only found a much higher prevalence of ASD in schoolchildren by using a community screening method – 1 in 38 – – but provides evidence that community screening elsewhere may yield much higher prevalence rates than would be found in standard surveys of medical records.
Read about the Top 10 Autism Research Achievements of 2011 here.
About Autism
Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders – autism spectrum disorders – caused by a combination of genes and environmental influences. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by social and behavioral challenges, as well as repetitive behaviors. An estimated 1 in 110 children in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum – a 600 percent increase in the past two decades that is only partly explained by improved diagnosis.
About Autism Speaks
Autism Speaks is the world’s largest autism science and advocacy organization. Since its inception in 2005, Autism Speaks has made enormous strides, committing over $ 160 million to research and developing innovative resources for families. The organization is dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. In addition to funding research, Autism Speaks has created resources and programs including the Autism Speaks Autism Treatment Network, Autism Speaks’ Autism Genetic Resource Exchange and several other scientific and clinical programs. Notable awareness initiatives include the establishment of the annual United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, which Autism Speaks celebrates through its Light it Up Blue initiative. Also, Autism Speaks award-winning “Learn the Signs” campaign with the Ad Council has received over $ 300 million in donated media. Autism Speaks’ family resources include the Autism Video Glossary, a 100 Day Kit for newly-diagnosed families, a School Community Tool Kit, a Grandparent’s Guide to Autism, and a community grant program. Autism Speaks has played a critical role in securing federal legislation to advance the government’s response to autism, and has successfully advocated for insurance reform to cover behavioral treatments in 29 states thus far, with bills pending in an additional 10 states. Each year Walk Now for Autism Speaks events are held in more than 80 cities across North America. To learn more about Autism Speaks, please visit http://www.autismspeaks.org.

Bob Wright is Senior Advisor at Lee Equity Partners and Chairman and CEO of the Palm Beach Civic Association.

In 2008, the Wrights were named to the Time 100 Heroes and Pioneers category, a list of the most influential people in the world, for their commitment to global autism advocacy. They have also received the first ever Double Helix Award for Corporate Leadership from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the NYU Child Advocacy Award, the Castle Connolly National Health Leadership Award and the American Ireland Fund Humanitarian Award.

San Diego?s Dr. Maurice P. Sherman, MD says VASER Shape is the way to SHAPE UP
San Diego’s Dr. Maurice P. Sherman, MD says VASER Shape is the way to SHAPE UP
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2011
Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center leads San Diego with new surgical and non-surgical body contouring technologies and says, Vaser Shape is a winner.
In January – 2011, Del Mar Cosmetic Surgery became the first and only San Diego outlet to offer VASER Shape, the new body shaping device which can deliver some of the results of liposuction with no surgery or downtime. In March, founder Dr. Maurice Sherman was seen on FOX-5 demonstrating the non-surgical VASER® Shape technology, and how it’s proven itself to be a winner. Patients see immediate results and that can be great news for the holidays. Some patient’s see a reduction in their waistline after just an hour: male or female. It’s a good choice for those who want to lose inches without liposuction surgery or anesthesia.
“We thought this was a good time to celebrate this technology here in San Diego,” says Dr Sherman. “And especially before, during & after the holidays, lots of people want to monitor their waistline. Here in San Diego, there are military personnel who would love access to VASER Shape. Because we’re so centrally located in Del Mar, we’re accessible to most of the high-profile Marine and Navy bases. Client acceptance has been tremendous. Waistlines are fading.”
But, there’s more to Vaser Shape than trimming a waistline. “What’s great about Vaser Shape technology is that it can non-surgically trim other areas of the body where liposuction isn’t indicated. Areas such as the arms or thighs,” continues Dr. Sherman. “In fact, Vaser Shape was designed to reduce unwanted fat and tighten loose skin from common problem areas including the lower back, love handles, inner & outer thighs and the upper and lower back. In addition to being a clear first choice for those who never want surgery and anesthesia, it’s also been the perfect cosmetic surgery addition for those who have had rhinoplasty, breast augmentation or a tummy tuck; those who want an excellent non-surgical choice for additional beauty enhancement.”
The VASER Shape disrupts fat cells with safe ultrasonic energy which heats the cells and causes them to release fat into the lymphatics. From here, the fat is carried to the liver, and excreted in the bile. VASER Shape results, while not as dramatic as liposuction, are readily measurable, and quite effective without any recovery period. “We finally have a non-surgical treatment worthy of our patients’ interests.” Although immediate results are often seen, we recommend a series of 5 treatments, spaced once a week. The results can be long lasting, especially when combined with proper diet and exercise regimens.
“Since we’ve been offering Vaser Shape longer than anybody in San Diego and most of California, we want everyone to know it’s here to stay. And, we’re looking forward to 2012 and another great year for our other non-surgical and surgical cosmetic procedures here at Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center.”
To celebrate – Dr. Sherman is taking 10% off Vaser Shape rates. “It’s a great way to shop around, and then come see us.”
About Dr. Maurice Sherman:
A frequent lecturer, for the past 19 years, Dr. Sherman has been in private practice both in Vista and La Jolla, Scripps Memorial Hospital campus and is now located centrally in Del Mar at the Del Mar Cosmetic Medical Center. Boarded in Facial Plastic Surgery and Otolaryngology, and a Diplomat of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr Sherman also serves on committees at the San Diego County Medical Society and has served as an Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at UCSD from 1982-2009. He is the past president of the California Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and the American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery. He currently serves as a director of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery and the California Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Sherman enjoys staff privileges at Scripps Memorial Hospitals, La Jolla and Encinitas. He also specializes in a complete range of cosmetic surgery procedures such as breast augmentation, breast lift, face lift, brow lift, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, liposuction and the latest in laser technologies. Dr Sherman was one of the first in San Diego to offer the newest type of tummy tuck/abdominoplasty – The Avelar Abdominoplasty.

Conservative estimates suggest that one in eight women will face breast cancer at some point in her lifetime. Though those numbers seem daunting, early detection and improved therapies have increased survival rates so that more women can beat this disease. A new screening tool called the OncoVue® Breast Cancer Risk Test allows doctors at Health Central Women’s Care Dallas to assess their patients risk for developing the disease.
Dr. Jay Staub and the doctors at Health Central Dallas are excited to offer this technology to women in the Dallas area. “We want our patients to enjoy long, health lives. The OncoVue® test helps us better predict a woman’s chance developing breast cancer at different stages over her lifetime. This information enables women to take a more pro-active approach to breast health.”
Annual exams and mammograms for women over 40 have increased the chances of catching and treating breast cancer at the earliest possible stage. Women with a family history of breast cancer have often received further testing to look at their risks. Until now, accurate screening tests haven’t been available for the average patient.
Using the InterGenetics® proprietary technology platform called “CombiSNP®,” the Ocuvue test looks at common variations in many genes involved in growth factors, DNA repair, steroid hormone metabolism, DNA repair, free radical scavenger, and cell cycle control. The test utilizes this data to calculate a person’s odds of developing breast cancer.
“Every patient’s risk level is determined based on the individual’s genetic makeup, personal health and family history,” Dr. Staub explained. “The results are completely unique to that specific patient. As well, the OncoVue® test can assess a woman’s risk at various points in her life.”
With this screening tool, women and their physicians can use the information they gain to determine if more frequent exams or more advanced monitoring is warranted.
“This knowledge will allow us to partner with our patients in preserving their breast health and overall wellbeing,” said Dr. Staub. “Advances like the OncoVue® Breast Cancer Risk Test mean that our patients can live long, full lives.”
