&quot;We are very disappointed by the decision of both Air Canada and WestJet to allow passengers to bring their pets in airplane cabins. This decision, while understandable in its desire to enhance customer service, unnecessarily puts at risk many individuals who suffer from respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD.

			<description><![CDATA[ARROYO GRANDE, CA--(eMediaWorld - June 18, 2009) -  BestHealthCareRates.com announces
healthcare reform questions being asked by Congress today include
questioning affordability of President Obama&#039;s plan. Rushing to sign healh
care reform bill could be costly to Americans, regardless of the
President&#039;s comments last week. Although Obama is determined to push reform
through Congress as quickly as possible, as evidenced in his remarks last
week, time and care should be taken to make sure we get it right. &quot;I think
the status quo is unacceptable and that we&#039;ve got to get it done this year.
If we don&#039;t get it done, this year, we&#039;re not going to get it done,&quot; Obama
said. BestHealthcareRates.com agrees that affordable healthcare is an
urgent priority for all Americans, but does not agree that speed is the
best way to achieve the goal.

			<description><![CDATA[DALLAS, TX--(eMediaWorld - June 15, 2009) -  American CareSource Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANCI) today announced that it expects revenues for the full year of 2009 to
be in the range of $70 - $85 million compared to $85 - $95 million as had
previously been reported.  This translates to a range of 20% - 46% growth
for the full year compared to the original estimate of 46% - 63%.

The change in expectations results from the continued softness in consumer
health care spending influenced by current economic conditions.  Management
estimates that macroeconomic factors including the unemployment rate and
consumer spending levels caused an estimated 5% - 10% decline sequentially
from Q4&#039;08 to Q1&#039;09.  As a result, the Company believes that the revenue
derived from its established client base will be lower for the full year
than originally expected.

			<description><![CDATA[ARROYO GRANDE, CA--(eMediaWorld - June 9, 2009) -  BestHealthCareRates.com states that the
healthcare reform proposed by the Federal Government may actually eliminate
affordable medical
insurance from the private sector entirely. While publicly funded
healthcare may seem to create affordable medical insurance for more
Americans, it may actually create a bigger problem.

Private medical insurance is not the enemy of affordable healthcare in the
US. In fact, if the federal government creates another public healthcare
program, it will ultimately raise the costs of private medical insurance to
exorbitant levels. While the idea of expanded public healthcare may seem to
be the answer to affordable
medical insurance, it could be the end of private insurance altogether.

listeriosis, a rare but lethal food-borne infection that has a devastating
case fatality rate of 25% (Salmonella, in comparison, has a less than 1%
mortality rate). They are incredibly hardy and able to grow in temperatures
ranging from 4&deg;C (39&deg;F), the temperature of a refrigerator, to 37&deg;C (99&deg;F),
the body&#039;s internal temperature. Furthermore, listeriosis&#039; deadliness can
be partially attributed to the infection&#039;s ability to spread to the nervous
system and cause meningitis.

of the anthrax vaccine in the United States.

According to Julie Barker, Executive and Nursing Director of Passport
Health of Massachusetts, &quot;Media around the world report that terrorist
organizations are experimenting with Anthrax as a bio-terrorism weapon.
That means international travelers -- even to countries considered safe --
should be aware of the risk and should monitor closely U.S. State

The Schizophrenia Society of Canada remains concerned about the negative or limited information that exists regarding individuals with schizophrenia and psychosis. This has been evident in the recent case of Vincent Li.

Since 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental illness in their lifetime, and 1 in 100 people will be diagnosed with schizophrenia, it raises the issue for reflection on the nature of mental illnesses including what they are and what they are not in regards to symptoms, treatment and risks of violence.

			<description><![CDATA[BOSTON, MA--(eMediaWorld - February 13, 2009) -  Group long-term disability insurance can save
employees from financial ruin, but most of them -- and even some HR pros --
don&#039;t understand their plan, write Jim Mooradian and Chris Allen of Jim
Mooradian and Associates in Boston in the January issue of Employee Benefit
Plan Review.

&quot;This can lead to problems and unfulfilled expectations when there is a
claim,&quot; they write.

Understanding the policy&#039;s definition of disability is crucial.  The &quot;own
occupation&quot; definition provides eligibility if the employee becomes unable
to perform the specific duties of the job that he or she was performing at
the time of his disability.   Under the stricter &quot;any occupation&quot;
definition, an employee would have to be unable to perform the material
duties of any occupation for which he or she is reasonably suited, given
his or her training and experience.

			<description><![CDATA[MOUNT PLEASANT, MI--(eMediaWorld - October 17, 2008) -  The National Highway Traffic Safety
Association reported that more than 12 percent of Michigan&#039;s fatal traffic
crashes in 2007 involved drivers 65 years of age and older. And as this
population ages at a rapid pace, a one-of-a-kind center at Central Michigan
University will work with these drivers in order to keep every motorist
safe.

The mission of the Center for Driving Evaluation, Education and Research,
also known as the DEER Center, is to keep people driving safely longer. The
center enables older drivers or persons who have had a stroke or brain
injury, or who suffer from a neurodegenerative disease, to have their
cognitive driving ability evaluated to assess whether it is safe for them
to either continue driving or resume driving.

			<description><![CDATA[ANDOVER, MA--(eMediaWorld - September 9, 2008) -  In his article &quot;Making the Most of your
Long-term Disability Plan,&quot; recently published in Employee Benefits News,
benefits consultant Jim Edholm encourages employers to use long-term
disability benefits efficiently and shows how they can improve coverage for
employees while lowering costs by taking advantage of tax laws.

&quot;LTD is a very popular benefit, even when offered on a voluntary,
employee-pay-all basis, outdrawing all other voluntary benefits,&quot; writes
Edholm, president of Business Benefits Insurance in Andover, Massachusetts.
&quot;That combination of popularity and infrequency suggests that offering LTD
might make you a more attractive employer, able to snag the most qualified
employees, reduce turnover and improve efficiency, even if only slightly.&quot;

			<pubDate>Tue, 17 Jun 2008 06:28:00 EDT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(eMediaWorld - June 17, 2008) -  A new study developed by market
intelligence firm Cutting Edge Information reveals that the majority of
pharmaceutical companies are waiting until their patents on drugs are
nearly run out before they start to work on patent litigation strategies
(http://www.PharmaGenerics.com).

One explanation is that companies wait to use patent litigation in order to
protect their compounds as a last resort because media coverage of
litigation battles often reflects negatively on the company.  Another
reason that most companies wait so long is that the legal precedent has
been set -- patent litigation is a relatively quick process, and companies
can afford to give themselves only a few months of time to do so.

			<description><![CDATA[MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(eMediaWorld - April 16, 2008) - Tomorrow, April 17, the Canadian Hemophilia Society (CHS), its provincial chapters and the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) will promote World Hemophilia Day in Canada and around the world.

More than one in 100 Canadians carry an inherited bleeding disorder gene, and more than 30,000 of them have symptoms severe enough to require medical care. Surprisingly, in Canada, even if hemophilia is easily diagnosed, many people have not yet been properly diagnosed for other bleeding disorders, particularly those affected with von Willebrand disease. This bleeding disorder, the most common one in Canada and in the rest of the world, affects men, women and children. A woman&#039;s quality of life, however, can be more seriously affected. Heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to unnecessary hysterectomies if the woman has not been properly diagnosed.

Plus troublant encore, au Canada, bien que les diagnostics d&#039;h&eacute;mophilie soient ais&eacute;ment d&eacute;termin&eacute;s, un bon nombre de personnes n&#039;ont pas encore &eacute;t&eacute; diagnostiqu&eacute;es correctement pour d&#039;autres troubles de coagulation, particuli&egrave;rement les personnes atteintes de la maladie de von Willebrand.

			<pubDate>Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:40:00 EDT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(eMediaWorld - April 10, 2008) -  According to a new study
released by Cutting Edge Information, the most successful lifecycle
management (LCM) programs are those that begin planning at the start of a
drug&#039;s development.  The report, &quot;Pharma Brand Optimization: Lifecycle
Management Strategy,&quot; explores the value of proactive planning
(http://www.PharmaLifecycleManagement.com).

The report finds that proactive planning is one of the most important
factors in effective LCM programs, second only to winning senior management
buy-in.  Too many companies wait to start their LCM processes until Phase
III or later in a product&#039;s lifecycle.  In doing so, they miss out on
opportunities to establish strong patents and competitive labels.
Companies that begin their LCM planning earlier have a competitive edge
over those that wait until ramp-up to product launch.

completed its current projections for 2008. After calculations were
completed for the year ending 2007, accountants have projected revenues for

created in the first quarter of 2008 that would increase revenues without
increasing costs. With advancements in billing technology as well as the
implementation of these new revenue generating programs, 2008 looks to be a
year of record breaking revenues. Recent changes to the SB-2 have also been
released to include the removal of the financing portion of the
registration. Paragon has been removed from the registration and no
financing will be included at this time. &quot;We are very excited with our
