   SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 9, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Los Angeles chapter of the American Parkinson's Disease Association (apdala.org), along with James Gray Gallery, present "Living Artistically with Parkinson's Disease," a unique exhibition featuring works of art created by celebrated artists living with PD. To celebrate the exhibition, which runs from February 8-13, 2012, the APDA L.A. is hosting a champagne brunch with a silent auction this Sunday, February 12.<br/>
<br/>
For over ten years APDA L.A. has been supporting patients with Parkinson's Disease and raising public awareness about Parkinson's through events such as wellness workshops, an annual walk-a-thon, and now the "Living Artistically with Parkinson's Disease" art exhibition. The goal of the show is to not only raise funds, but also to express to the community what people living with PD can do. Mark Siegel, President of APDA Los Angeles says, "This is a wonderful opportunity for people with Parkinson's to show the world their creativity and skills. APDA is proud to sponsor this ground breaking exhibition."<br/>
<br/>
Unlike other art exhibits, "Living Artistically with Parkinson's Disease" is distinctive in that every contributing artist is doing just that - living artistically with Parkinson's Disease. "'Living Artistically with Parkinson's Disease' shows me what can be accomplished with determination," participating artist and PD patient Sandy Yaras says. "I am honored to be included with this remarkable group of people." The exhibition will showcase paintings, drawings, photography, sculptures, and music from artists including Jorge Lacost, James Tim Walker, and Herb Rosenkrantz.<br/>
<br/>
For more information on the "Living Artistically with Parkinson's Disease" exhibit and to RSVP for the champagne brunch event happening Sunday, February 12, please visit http://adpala.org . <br/>

   HARRISBURG, Pa., Feb. 9, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- On Saturday, February 11, 2012, American Sporting Legend and rock star Ted Nugent will appear at the Eastern Sports &amp; Outdoor Show (February 4-12, State Farm Show Complex, Harrisburg, PA) to sign autographs and greet guests.<br/>

<br/>
An advocate of hunting and gun-ownership rights, Nugent currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association (NRA). He has hosted the Ted Nugent Kamp for Kids, which combines a curriculum of hands-on hunting, conservation, archery and a strong anti-drug message aimed mainly at underprivileged inner-city children. Nugent also is a spokesman for the National Field Archery Association, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. He is a national spokesman for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program, advocating the "natural highs" to be found in an outdoor lifestyle.<br/>
<br/>
"The future of the shooting sports in this country is in the hands of tomorrow's outdoorsmen and women. The youth of America must be educated to the wholesome and valued world of hunting and conservation. Because rock 'n roll plays such a pivotal role in a young person's life, I will share my wonderful experiences with them," said Nugent.<br/>

   LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 7, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- With the end of the world scheduled to take place later this year, G-Man Marketing (gmanmarketing.com) is partnering with its clients to offer special reduced rates in public relations, songwriting, audio mixing and mastering, radio advertising, graphic design, live music promotion, music distribution, and more.<br/>
<br/>
"No matter how the world concludes this year, whether from Galactic Alignment, the Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus, or some cataclysmic combination, we will all be there for you with special reduced rates on the services you will need to get your business started again," states John Scott G from G-Man Marketing.<br/>
<br/>
In a promotional event called "<a href="http://gmanmarketing.com">Lower the BOOM on Prices</a>," G-Man Marketing and their clients "will lower pricing by 12% starting 02.12.12," G says. "While many marketing companies raised their pricing this year by 15% or more, we took the opposite approach. We chose 02.12.12 to start the promo, as it's one digit lower than 12.12.12, which is our way of being optimistic."<br/>
<br/>
G continues, "Additionally, a second part of the promotion will run from the 'end of the world' all the way through to the end of the year." Among the offers that will apply from December 21 to 31, 2012, are the following: G-Man Marketing will provide public relations services for free. Send2Press.com (a service of Neotrope(R)) will disseminate the media announcements for free. Country artist Sandra Piller will sell her album at half price. Country songwriter Jane Bach will co-write a song for free. Matt Forger will mix and master a song for one-third off.<br/>
<br/>
Sheena Metal, host on LATalkRadio, will create a radio commercial for your product. In addition, her Carnyville live music event will let your band play two sets for free, "even if all your fans have expired," notes Ms. Metal. <br/>
<br/>
Goodnight Kiss Music is offering half off music consultations. Robin Hood Music offers free song downloads. Phil Hatten Design will create a logo for free. FookMovie will create a free music video. And a spokesperson for Golosio, the music publishing firm, says "We will pitch your song to whatever film and TV projects are still available, although they probably will just be basic cable."<br/>
<br/>
Some restrictions apply for the second part of the promotion only: "First, the world must actually come to an end on or about December 21," G said. "Second, you'll have to figure out how to get in touch with us during the ten days in question because we've had no assurances from the phone companies that they'll be doing anything at that time except figuring out how to charge you for unused minutes." <br/>
<br/>
For more information about all the firms and individuals in this story, please contact John Scott G of G-Man Marketing. "Please remember," G states, "the world may end but good hype is forever."<br/>

   CARSON, Calif., Feb. 3, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- <a href="http://www.docmagic.com">DocMagic, Inc.</a>, the mortgage industry's leading provider of automated loan document production and compliance solutions, announced that it has teamed with the 315th U.S. Army Tactical Company to distribute this year's new DocMagic Bunny "Sergeant Doc" to local children and their families. The bunny is dressed in regulation military clothing as a tribute to the men and women who serve this country and the families that eagerly wait for their return.<br/>
<br/>
Each year DocMagic delivers thousands of bunnies to its customers. The DocMagic Bunny is a staple of the company's brand and every year the employees at DocMagic participate in a contest to pick the theme. For 2012, the employees overwhelmingly chose to show support for our country's troops by outfitting Doc in regulation military fatigues proudly displaying the American flag and equipping him with a GPS device. <br/>
<br/>
"Sergeant Doc was specifically created to honor the men and women who serve in the armed forces," said Dominic Iannitti. "They and their families make enormous sacrifices and we wanted to show our appreciation. We are pleased that the 315th U.S. Army Tactical Company was able to help connect us with the families of those who serve. We are additionally gratified by the enthusiastic response from our customers, who have phoned and written to thank us for honoring our nation's true heroes."<br/>
<br/>
With the help of the 315th, Sergeant Doc is being distributed to schools, youth organizations, churches and parks as well as the children and families of those deployed. These contributions are in keeping with the finest military traditions of the United States Army, which greatly appreciates the support of companies like DocMagic. The campaign began during the holiday season and is now continuing into the New Year. <br/>

   LOS ANGELES, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Eswan Flores wanted to give back to the non-profit organization, FixNation, that worked to control the cat population at the Los Alamitos Race Course where he began his horse-racing career so he decided to sponsor them. <br/>
<br/>
FixNation is a non-profit organization that offers free spaying and neutering of stray and feral cats in the greater Los Angeles area. <br/>
<br/>
"They've been very helpful in controlling the cat population at the Los Alamitos Race Course and people will soon see their logo on my pants," says Flores. "What a great way to combine my compassion for cats and horse racing." <br/>
<br/>
It was reported that several hundred homeless cats and kittens were living at the racetrack. To date, approximately 100 have been spayed and neutered. <br/>
<br/>
Training was provided to teach Flores and his manager how to humanely and safely trap the cats. Their compassion was clearly embraced by other racetrack employees who also care for the cats. <br/>
<br/>
"FixNation has made horse racing history while bringing smiles to our faces, specifically by having our logo worn by jockey Flores," says Karn Myers, clinic director/founder/COO of FixNation, Inc. "I simply cannot thank Flores enough for being so supportive of our organization and raising public awareness."<br/>
<br/>
Elizabeth Cava, a trapping trainer at FixNation, adds that, "It was so reassuring to see that they sought out a humane solution - a life-based solution - rather than the only other alternative - trap and kill." <br/>
<br/>
<strong>About Eswan Flores:</strong><br/>
Flores is an 18-year old high school senior and a native of Mexico. He started going to the track in Santa Anita when he was eight while his father worked as a groom. At 10, he would ride his bike to the Arcadia track, studying horses. Friends and family took him to ride at ranches. He is quickly making a name for himself in thoroughbred horse racing at one of the most premier tracks in the country. He has been interviewed by multiple entities including: the Los Angeles Times; PBS and Fox News. <br/>

<br/>
<strong>About FixNation:</strong><br/>
FixNation, Inc., a non-profit corporation, has a mission to reduce the population of homeless cats by sterilizing as many as possible. In addition, by consistently demonstrating the effectiveness of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), it seeks to bring about changes in public policy so that TNR becomes the officially sanctioned and government-funded approach to homeless cat management. It supports and promotes all humane initiatives and education to bring about the day of "No More Homeless Cats in L.A."<br/>

   PETERSBURG, Va., Jan. 30, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Most Americans don't consider prisons when lamenting scholarship reductions at their local college or higher taxes on gas when filling up at the pump. Maybe they should. According to Christopher Zoukis, author of the forthcoming "Education Behind Bars" (ISBN: 978-1934597774; Sunbury Press, December 2011), upwards of $60 billion a year can be saved simply by educating prisoners. <br/>
<br/>
According to the Journal of Correctional Education, the U.S. incarcerates over 2.3 million persons, a number equal to 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerated population. Each of these 2.3 million prisoners costs American taxpayers $32,000 to $40,000 each year for food and housing. Of those 2.3 million, around 800,000 will be released each year and most, that is 70% to 85%, will return to prison within 5 years of release. The exception is prisoners who receive an education while in prison.<br/>
<br/>
According to the Journal of Correctional Education, of prisoners with an AA degree, only 13.7% will return to prison, of those with a Bachelor's degree 5.6%, and those with a Master's degree 0%. The Institute for Higher Education Policy calculates the cost of educating one prisoner to be $2,000 to $3,782 per year, much lower than the $40,000 per year outlay for incarceration.<br/>
<br/>
While educating prisoners is an odd concept to champion, the fact that the U.S. spends $30.1 billion each year to build more prisons should give all Americans pause. This is money siphoned off from local community colleges, state universities, defense, and much needed public work projects, not to mention every American's wallet. <br/>
<br/>
With the January 2012 publication of "Education Behind Bars," a comprehensive resource delineating the financial and social benefits of <a href="http://www.prisoneducation.com/">educating prisoners</a> will finally be available.<br/>
<br/>
For <a href="http://www.prisoneducation.com/">prison education</a> news as it breaks and an ongoing dialogue about the merits of educating prisoners, head over to http://PrisonEducation.com or email Christopher Zoukis directly at ChrisZoukis@Gmail.com.
