     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NORWICH, Norfolk, UK &#8211; Nov. 16, 2009 &#8211; Norman Comfort, Director of a marketing and business consultancy business based in Norwich, is passionate about brands, marketing and all things business.  He talks to Mike Hutchinson, the host of the morning show on Future Radio, about the importance of good branding, good marketing and why having a business strategy is really important in any market; particularly in these circumstances.</p><p>Comfort stated: &#39;Being a guest on Future Radio is great fun for me.  I can talk about my passion for marketing, my passion and interest in business, and my love of Norwich.  Listeners to the show are really encouraged to write, text, or email in and ask questions about the issues in business that are affecting them, regardless of the markets they operate in.  We often wind up debating how a business in Norwich has marketed its products or discussing why a brand has adopted a particular strategy.  It is really fun and it is always off the cuff.&#39;</p><p>Comfort has worked with some great brands in our region, and also has an MBA from the University of East Anglia.  He is also a Director of Buy Local, helping the organisation with its business strategy and marketing planning work in Norwich and Norfolk.  Since setting up his own company, he has helped many businesses to develop compelling and differentiated marketing strategies and plans; develop new brands or refine their brand identity; build media and communications activity; and produce innovative ideas to enter new markets. </p><p>Norman lives in Norwich and is very passionate about the region.  He loves visiting the North Norfolk coast, and is always trying to find new brands or great examples of marketing in the region.</p><p>For more information on Norwich marketing consultant Norman Comfort visit <a href="http://www.getcomfortableltd.co.uk" target="_blank">http://www.getcomfortableltd.co.uk</a>.<br /></p><p>&mdash; WebWireID106947 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ADV">Advertising / Marketing</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MAV">Media Advisory</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=RAD">Radio</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Media-Advisory/~4/_fErgPltkuo" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEW YORK - Apple&#174; will open its newest retail store on New York&#39;s Upper West Side on Saturday, November 14 at 10:00 a.m. Set beneath a breathtaking all-glass arched roof, the street level of the Apple Store&#174; Upper West Side offers more Macs, iPods and iPhones than any store in the world for an incredible hands-on experience. The lower level features the largest area ever created by Apple for personal training and technical support, including a 45-foot Genius Bar. Located on Broadway at 67th Street, the Apple Store Upper West Side is just minutes from Lincoln Center and Central Park.</p><p>&#39;We opened our first store in Manhattan seven years ago, and the response has been incredible,&#39; said Ron Johnson, Apple&#39;s senior vice president of Retail. &#39;We hope our new store on the Upper West Side will become as much a part of the community as our stores in SoHo, the Meatpacking District and on Fifth Avenue.&#39;</p><p>A highly trained team of more than 200 employees brings the unique Apple retail experience to the Upper West Side, offering the same legendary services that Apple stores provide around the world. At the Genius Bar, customers can get free advice and expert tech support from knowledgeable experts. Customers who buy a Mac&#174; at the Apple Store Upper West Side can join the popular One to One program for personal set-up service and personal training for just $99. Visitors can also get free tips from Specialists who are on-hand to help shoppers find the perfect gift or choose the right Mac, iPod&#174; or iPhone&#174; for themselves.</p><p>In time for the holiday season, customers can now reserve their favorite Apple product online at <a href="http://www.apple.com/retail/reserve" target="_blank">www.apple.com/retail/reserve</a> and pick it up at their local Apple store between December 15-24. Apple retail stores will also gift wrap any iPod or portable Mac for just $5.</p><p>The Apple Store Upper West Side is the fourth in Manhattan and Apple&#39;s 15th in the New York metro area, joining the hugely successful Apple Stores SoHo, West 14th Street and Fifth Avenue. Nearly 170 million people on four continents have visited Apple retail stores this year. Apple now operates 280 stores in ten countries including the US, UK, Italy, Australia, Canada, Japan, China, Switzerland, Germany and France.</p><p>The Apple Store Upper West Side is located at 1981 Broadway, on the corner of West 67th Street. The first 2,500 visitors to the store will receive a limited edition, commemorative t-shirt.</p><p>Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market with its revolutionary iPhone.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID107721 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ADV">Advertising / Marketing</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=HRD">Computer Hardware</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=CSE">Consumer Electronics</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MAV">Media Advisory</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=REA">Retail</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> Copyright &#169; 2009 Warmtone Corp. | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://www.webwire.com/ServTerms.asp">Terms of Service</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Media-Advisory/~4/zVoQpYT-HyE" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Milford, CT) The winter months are approaching and, just as in the human population, the canine community faces the threat of influenza.   According to State Veterinarian Mary J. Lis, cases of Canine Influenza have already been confirmed in Connecticut this season, traced to a West Hartford kennel where employees had noted an increase in respiratory problems.</p><p>First emerging in racing Greyhounds, Canine Influenza A, H3N8, is now present in 30 states, with a constant enzootic presence in east coast regions such as New York, New Jersey, and Florida.  </p><p>The disease shows up 2 to 4 days post exposure and prominent symptoms include cough, sneezing, runny nose, and sometimes fever.  Almost all dogs make a full recovery, but about 10% have respiratory complications such as pneumonia, and about 5% of cases are fatal. The illness can last 2-3 weeks or longer. </p><p>In May 2009 the USDA approved the first Canine Influenza vaccine.</p><p>According to K. Paul Rumble, DVM, Director of Pond Point Animal Hospital in Milford, CT, &#39;Canine Influenza is highly contagious, with dogs in close groups at the most risk.  Shelters, kennels, grooming parlors, dog day care and play groups are all hot beds for flu transmission. Show dogs, racing greyhounds, and pet shop dogs are more at risk than the average companion animal.  Diabetic and older dogs are at much greater risk for fatal complications of the flu.&#39;</p><p>Dr. Rumble continued, &#39;We offer the Canine Influenza vaccine at Pond Point Animal Hospital in Milford.  The vaccine is very well tolerated and reduces both the length and severity of illness when dogs are exposed.  This is especially important for older dogs, those in group settings, or with chronic health problems that make complications like pneumonia especially dangerous.&#39;</p><p>Treatment of Canine Influenza is symptomatic including rest, providing lots of fluid, and sometimes treatment with antibiotics, steroids, and IV fluids for infections and complications. Shortness of breath and high fever are serious symptoms that can require veterinary intensive care. <br /> <br />About the Practice</p><p>Founded in 1973, Pond Point Animal Hospital in Milford CT specializes in veterinary services for companion animals.  With a focus on preventive pet health care, Pond Point offers routine exams, vaccinations, hospitalization, drop off services, boarding, emergency care, dentistry and geriatric medicine for dogs and cats.  </p><p>For more information, visit <a href="http://www.pondpoint.com" target="_blank">www.pondpoint.com</a>, call (203) 878-4646, or email the practice at <a href="&#109;&#97;&#105;&#108;&#116;&#111;:ppah&#64;pondpoint.com">ppah&#64;pondpoint.com</a>.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WESTON, FL -- It was was August, 2003 when the first attack on Sue Scheff&#39;s integrity appeared on a website that focused on programs for at-risk teens, the industry in which she provides services to parents via an organization named PURE. The individual posting was a parent Sue Scheff had actually tried to help after she contacted her for assistance. So, Sue Scheff was shocked when her first unexpected accusation escalated into a full-blown character assassination.</p><p>Threats were made against Sue Scheff and a gang mentality took hold as numerous voices began to chime in. </p><p>As Scheff continued to watch the whole thing spin beyond damage control, something just as frightening would eventually snake its way into the search engines of Google; If you typed in Sue Scheff, it wasn&#39;t her website with educational articles and resources for parents that appeared at first glance, because over two pages of initial Google results led to links that took viewers to sites that were distasteful and littered with adult content. </p><p>In Sue Scheff&#39;s new book, &#34;Google Bomb! The Untold Story of the $11.3M Verdict That Changed the Way We Use the Internet,&#34; she details this and other harrowing ordeals involving Internet defamation and cyberstalking.</p><p>After nearly losing her home to pay for her day in court, on September 19, 2006, Sue Scheff was awarded a jury decision with a landmark $11.3M verdict, a forceful warning that ruining lives with online attacks is wrong and will not be tolerated.</p><p>To read more about Sue Scheff&#39;s story in her new book, visit <a href="http://www.googlebombbook.com" target="_blank">http://www.googlebombbook.com</a> or <a href="http://www.suescheff.com" target="_blank">http://www.suescheff.com</a>.</p><p>About Sue Scheff</p><p>Sue Scheff is the founder of Parents&#39; Universal Resources Experts, Inc. (P.U.R.E.), a child and parenting advocacy organization, is a noted expert on Internet Defamation by countless mediums after winning $11.3M in a 2006 lawsuit against a woman who posted viral defamatory statements about Scheff and P.U.R.E.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NEW YORK: Melodia Women&#39;s Choir will premiere a new commissioned work, &#34;Notes Upon the Breeze&#34;, on November 14 at 8 pm at St.Peter&#39;s Church in the CitiGroup Center, E. 54th St. and Lexington Ave, in New York City. </p><p>The new work, the result of a Women Composer&#39;s Commissioning Competition held by Melodia Women&#39;s Choir, was written by Chris Lastovicka. The music is set to poems by Kay Ryan, the current U.S. Poet Laureate. Artistic Director Cynthia Powell will conduct. </p><p>&#39;&#39;Notes Upon the Breeze&#39; is fresh and inspired, full of subtlety and wit,&#39; said Powell. The choir is now in its sixth season, according to Jennifer Clarke, executive director and founder, and is performing its third commissioned work by a woman composer. </p><p>The concert, filled with radiant music that reflects the meditative sentiments of autumn, also features &#34;Songs of the Lights&#34; by Latvian-born Canadian composer Imant Raminsh. Five songs from &#39;The Princess&#39; by Gustav Holst will be performed by the choir, along with selections from Pergolesi&#39;s &#34;Stabat Mater&#34;, which is recognized for its beauty and musical mastery. </p><p>The choir will be joined by the string performers of the Transfiguration Quintet and Taisiya Pushkar on the piano. </p><p>Melodia Women&#39;s Choir is comprised of 35 talented women singers who are selected through an auditioning process.
