Revolution PAC’s “PollWatcher 1.0″ poll watching app

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 20, 2012

In the face of mounting evidence of voter suppression and election fraud, Revolution PAC is formally launching a groundbreaking exit polling initiative in time for the February 28 Republican presidential primaries in Arizona and Michigan. The first-of-its-kind grassroots effort also will include the deployment of a private-label smartphone application.

The application – codenamed “PollWatcher 1.0” – is currently only available for Google’s Android operating system and was built from the ground up with an easy-to-use interface. PollWatcher 1.0 will allow Revolution PAC’s boots on the ground to conduct an efficient exit polling initiative as a means to crosscheck the accuracy of state GOP parties’ vote totals, which were problematic in Iowa, Nevada and Maine.

“This tool enables the grassroots revolution to compete with the establishment media like never before,” explains Gary Franchi, Revolution PAC chair. “Their monopoly stranglehold on election results is finally broken.”

In addition, the app features access to a “reporter’s toolbox,” which provides one-click audio/video recording as well as the ability to post to Facebook or Twitter in real time. The application will be distributed to qualified volunteers for live field beta testing prior to the upcoming primaries.

Volunteers are being asked to join the effort at http://RevolutionPAC.com/Exit-Polling.

Revolution PAC will broadcast the results in real time as part of its “Boycott the Mainstream Media” initiative, which will be streamed live throughout the day during the Arizona and Michigan primaries.

Revolution PAC is supporting U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s bid for the Republican presidential nomination and his consistent, constitutional message with targeted TV advertising, direct mail campaigns, vote-watching initiatives and innovative Web promotions complemented by billboards and radio ads in key primary states. Unlimited donations by individuals, businesses and organizations are being accepted by Revolution PAC to support that effort.

Alta Vista, KS (PRWEB) February 05, 2012

When a group of vacationing college students pulled Patrick Heelen from the wreckage of a one-car crash on the night of Dec. 29, 2011, they may have saved more than one life.

Moved by the kindness of the strangers who rescued him, Patrick Heelen plans to lead a self-styled “Good Samaritan Movement” on Feb. 11 on the grounds of Ag Heritage Park in Alta Vista, Kansas, where he hopes to encourage “at least 1,000 people to commit a random act of kindness,” according to a press statement issued today.

Patrick Heelen, an Alta Vista resident, was vacationing with his family at the Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont – but alone in his car when it skidded off a back road near the resort. The accident occurred around 1 a.m. and “there wasn’t another car in sight,” he noted.

“My leg was broken, I had no cell phone and let me tell you, that road was pretty dark,” Patrick Heelen said. “If those kids hadn’t come along and helped me out, I might still be stuck there.”

Patrick Heelen’s rental car had hit an icy patch and slammed into a tree, breaking his left leg in two places and “basically pinning me between the door, the airbag and the bent dashboard,” he said. He’s not sure if he blacked out, Heelen added, but he’s certain he sat immobilized in the freezing car “for at least 90 minutes” before headlights appeared on the road behind him.

“They could have kept going, but they stopped,” Patrick Heelen said. “They got me out of the car and called 911, but then they decided to just drive me to the hospital themselves.”

“He was clearly in pain, and I think he was a little disoriented,” noted Michael Fridman, one of the four Boston University underclassmen who happened upon Heelen and sprang to his rescue. “I didn’t think we should wait for an ambulance, so we called 911 back told them we were taking him right to the hospital.”

Patrick Heelen spent the better part of the last month recuperating at Copley Hospital in Morrisville, Vermont, where three screws were placed in his broken leg. Upon returning home to Alta Vista on Jan. 23, the manager of a small chain of organic grocery stores decided to return the kindness shown him by Fridman and his classmates by organizing his “Good Samaritan Movement.”

“I hope 10,000 people come,” Patrick Heelen said. “I hope a million come. But if I can tell 1,000 people about what those kids did for me and get them to do 1,000 nice things for other people, then I’ll be extremely gratified.”

Heelen’s event should not be confused with the “Good Samaritan Movement” that gathered Jan. 29 in New York City’s Union Square Park, a function of the World Mission Society Church of God. That event, which launched World Mission Society’s Food of Life food-donation campaign, shares a sentiment with Patrick Heelen’s event, but little else.

Neighbors of Patrick Heelen and his wife of 14 years, Catherine, are not surprised the family would be involved in a kindness-spreading movement.

“They’re wonderful people,” said Stacey Blackley, who lived across the road from the Heelens for 10 years. “I’m very close with Catherine, and Patrick is always out mowing his lawn or kicking the ball around with his kids and my kids. At barbecues and school plays, they’re just the nicest family, and it makes perfect sense that Patrick Heelen would try to inspire others to be nice and help others.”

The Alta Vista “Good Samaritan Movement” is scheduled to begin at noon Feb. 11, according to the press statement, and all are invited to attend.

“Those boys might have saved my life,” Patrick Heelen said. “I am forever in their debt, and it seems to me the best way to repay them is to spread their kindness to someone else. These are the traits that make a person a human being.”

About Patrick Heelen

Patrick Heelen, 44, is the owner and manager of a chain of organic markets in the Topeka, Kansas region. He lives in Alta Vista, Kansas, with his wife of 14 years, Catherine, and their two children. A major college basketball fan and regular churchgoer, Patrick Heelen enjoys skiing and stamp collecting, and is an avid fan of baroque music.

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) May 12, 2009

Skin Cancer Doctors provides helpful information about actinic keratoses (AKs), basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma to skin cancer patients from the source they trust most – dermatologists.

Launched in May in honor of National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Skin Cancer Doctors is committed to providing up to date information about skin cancer prevention and treatment options directly from skin care experts.

The Skin Cancer Doctors online community is part of the FromYourDoctor patient education service from Vivacare. The FromYourDoctor service enables physicians to easily create their own customizable health information resource for their medical practice, including a Patient Education Library with patient handouts and clinical images, and a Patient eNewsletter.

Physicians use the service to reinforce key clinical messages that may be forgotten during office appointments. The Skin Cancer Doctors website highlights those dermatologists that use the FromYourDoctor service who have written particularly helpful information for their patients regarding skin cancer.

Dr. Jeffrey Ellis, M.D., Director of Dermatological Surgery at North Shore/ Long island Jewish Hospital and in private practice at Belaray Dermatology in Plainview, NY uses the FromYourDoctor service as a tool to publish information about actinic keratoses (AKs), a common precancerous skin condition.

“Skin Cancer Doctor’s goal is to help dermatologists help their patients,” says Mark Becker, M.D., founder of Vivacare. “We are pleased to be helping dermatologists get the word out regarding the risks of skin cancer, skin cancer treatment options, and the importance of skin cancer prevention,” said Dr. Becker.

People seeking dermatologists in their area who are qualified to diagnose and treat skin cancer may wish to refer to Vivacare’s Find a Dermatologist resource.

About Skin Cancer

Skin cancer occurs when skin cells start growing abnormally, causing cancerous growths. The three main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. Melanoma is the least common but most dangerous form of skin cancer. Almost all skin cancers start as a small, low-risk lesions, but can grow and become high-risk lesions if left untreated. There is a chance of a complete cure when skin cancer is detected before it has spread to surrounding tissues. Recommended treatment options depend primarily on the type, size and location of the skin cancer, but may include topical medications, such as Aldara and 5-FU, or dermatologic procedures such as cryotherapy or Mohs Surgery.

Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) February 03, 2012

The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) and the Binge Eating Disorder Association (BEDA) appeal to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) to discontinue their fear and shame-based advertisements objectifying children. Campaigns that focus on overall wellness, not weight shaming, should be the goal.

The CHOA released a new ad-campaign, known as Stop Sugarcoating, utilizing negative attention and shaming to address childhood obesity. Recently, concern has risen in the state of Georgia, which is ranked the second highest prevalence of childhood obesity in the country, prompting the development of the campaign.

Chevese Turner, Executive Director of BEDA, states, “This ad campaign has the potential to inflict harm through the message it sends. The creators of the campaign quite obviously do not understand the psychological impact this has for individuals of size, including children. CHOA clearly believes this approach will work, despite a growing number of professionals and experts in both the obesity and eating disorders field who disagree because of the growing evidence that shaming and stigmatizing actually lead to weight gain over time. We have received close to 1,000 signatures, within a week’s time, on our petition to end this campaign; the public and many professional physical and mental health providers have joined us to let CHOA know that this approach is dangerous and should be discontinued immediately.”

Laura Discipio, Executive Director of ANAD, says, “Research has shown that children as young as five years old already have been conditioned to fear being fat. CHOA continues to perpetuate this fear by using shaming and bullying tactics targeted at children who are of larger size. But unfortunately, children who are of normal or low weight can also be negatively affected. This Ad-campaign has the potential of doing more harm than good. Shaming our children should not be tolerated! Feeling good about yourself increases the likelihood that you will take good care of your body and decreases the likelihood of disordered eating. Instead of shaming our children, let’s help them feel good about themselves and provide all children an opportunity to engage in healthy lifestyles so they can develop healthy attitudes and behaviors and healthy bodies.”

Discipio adds, “Chevese and I, as well as our expert boards and scientific committees, welcome an open conversation with the developers of this ad campaign and future weight-related campaigns to discuss effective and healthy ways to address these important issues. We must be cognizant of the fact that many of the obesity efforts underway in this country are worrisome-at-best and can lead to eating disorders, which have the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness and have realized a significant rise in prevalence over recent years.”
