Dr. Michael Doyle, Medical Director of CT Fertility

Bridgeport, CT (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

As a sign of the growing interest in surrogacy as a parenting alternative for gay European, an unprecedented conference will take place in Barcelona this April. The “Men Having Babies Surrogacy Seminar and Expo” is offered for the first time in Europe based on a similar program that has been running in NY for the last seven years. CT Fertility’s medical director, Dr. Michael Doyle, who has spoken several times at the NY seminar, was invited to speak as the medical expert on the panel of the Barcelona seminar. The event is organized by the Network of European LGBT Family Associations (NELFA) on April 29, 2012, as part of a 4-day conference and family gathering expected to attract hundreds of LGBT parents and parents-to-be from across the continent.

The full day elaborate seminar and exhibit will offer a comprehensive “how-to” program for gay men who want to become parents. Dr. Doyle will be part of a panel of medical, psychological, and legal experts to provide an overview of the entire surrogacy process for gay men, with an emphasis on relevant considerations to Europeans. An American surrogate and European parents will discuss their personal experiences. Prospective parents and LGBT family activists will also have opportunities to learn about more than a dozen service providers at the Gay Parenting Services Exhibit before and after the seminar. In addition, CT Fertility is hosting a panel about the ethical questions often raised regarding surrogacy, including medical and psychological risks, the motivations and possible exploitation of the surrogates. Dr. Doyle will discusses ethical decisions in IVF, egg donation and surrogacy; how to protect, inform and maximize long term well being of all the parties including egg donors, surrogates, and future children. Alongside with Dr. Doyle the ethics panel will also feature Jamie Speer, M.S., the clinic’s genetic counselor and surrogacy program director, and several international gay fathers.

While prospective parents are encouraged to join the hundreds of families attending the gathering for its full length, a one-day attendance including meals is offered for a small fee. “I plan to attend the family gathering and the surrogacy seminar along with several members of our staff,” Said Dr. Doyle. “We already heard of several of our former clients who will be attending with their children, and we look forward to seeing them again, said Dr. Doyle. “In fact, on the Friday before the conference we plan to host a reunion party in Barcelona for our European alumni that will be in town for the conference.”

“We highly recommend that prospective parents join us for the full four day gathering,” said Elisabeth Vendrell, president of FLG, the hosting LGBT Families organization in Catalonia. “If you are either prospective parents or already have children, the LGBT Families gathering can be a terrific opportunity to meet hundreds of parents and parents-to-be from more than a dozen countries.” The organizers expect about 800 participants (having already received more than 400 bookings), and the group will take over a hotel in the resort town of Lloret de Mar, to enjoy a combination of social, educational and fun activities, including sightseeing excursions in Barcelona and elsewhere. “Thanks to the generous support of government and private sponsors this all-inclusive program is also very affordable,” said Ms. Vendrell, “a typical family of four will only spend about €300 including all meals and excursions.”

In the days prior to the conference, Dr. Doyle will be holding free private consultations in Barcelona with prospective parents seeking further details about gestational surrogacy and egg donation performed in the United States. To schedule a consultation please email: jamie.speer(at)ctfertility(dot)com.

Matchmaker and TV star Rachel Federoff dispenses zombie-dating advice.

(PRWEB) February 10, 2012

So Rachel Federoff, vice president of Matching for the Millionaire’s Club and costar of The Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo, offers helpful tips at ZombieDating.Wordpress.com to make sure women and their zombie beaux have the best Valentine’s Day ever!

Rachel, who starred in the zombie short Deader Living Through Chemistry (2008), knows there are special challenges in dating a zombie. “Try a nice setup of multicolored glow sticks,” she advises women who are planning an intimate dinner for two. “Zombies, well, being brainless, have no concept of fire and therefore will end up burning themselves, you, and the whole neighborhood!” Rachel’s tips ensure that you—and everyone in a five-mile radius—will have a happy and safe holiday.

Rachel’s tongue-in-cheek advice, offered in a straightforward and pragmatic tone, is the perfect antidote to the usual everything-must-be-just-right mania that can sometimes overtake women (and men!) on February 14—and perhaps for the week before. Her tips are a reminder that Valentine’s Day is supposed to be fun.

“I knew Rachel would write something hilarious,” says Lynn Messina, whose blog, ZombieDating.Wordpress.com, hosts the post. “I knew I wanted to have guest bloggers to mark the release of my book The Girls’ Guide to Dating Zombies, and Rachel was the obvious choice. She has an excellent sense of humor, she knows zombies, and she’s a dating expert. I was thrilled when she said yes.”

Find all of Rachel’s great tips for having the perfect Valentine’s Day zombie date at zombiedating.wordpress.com on February 13. Other Girls’ Guide to Dating Zombies Premiere Week guest bloggers include British GQ sex-advice columnist Anka Radakovich, Zombie Queen of Newbury High author Amanda Ashby, leading dating coach Evan Marc Katz and Breathers author S.G. Browne.

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

“We are excited to be working with many local artists on putting together a regular event for the community to enjoy and gather at, as well as play host to a lot of interesting and innovative local music projects, side projects and experimentation grounds,” says Luke Mescher, owner of Falbo Brothers Pizzeria.

Falbo Brothers Pizzeria has set up a pizzeria for and about the community of Fort Collins. This is a place for handmade gourmet pizza, a venue to hear your local musicians or to try out your hand at ping-pong, which has quickly become a regulars and staff attraction.

Offering a unique product and another choice when it comes to pizza, this pizza is really done with love. Without even a mixer in the kitchen, they make their dough and sauce from scratch numerous times a day, never skimping on the ingredients and especially not the cheese, which is brought in from Wisconsin.

Falbo Brothers Pizzeria (http://www.falbobrospizza.com) invites the community to join them for a Tuesday show or a Sunday night ping-pong match or for happy hour 7 days a week from 4:20-6:20pm, with $ 2 micro draft beers. They probably offer the cheapest beers in town at $ 8/pitcher and their regular specials are 2 slices of pizza and a soda for $ 4.20, available all day and night every day. They always have a pizza of the week allowing customers to try it for 20% off any size any crust and an amazing patio attached to the back of the building which will turn into a great beer/wine garden this spring.

About Falbo Brothers Pizza

Falbo Brothers Pizzeria, a Fort Collins Pizzeria, serves superior gourmet pizza, all by hand, with Wisconsin cheese and a lot of love. Opened for just over a year, the pizzeria has become a Fort Collins favorite. The original Falbo Brothers Pizzeria opened for business August 1, 1992 in Madison, Wisconsin. Two students from the University of Wisconsin forced to eat horrible “college” pizza for 4 years decided enough was enough. Jason and Rob, the original “Falbo Brothers” decided it was time to take matters into their own hands. They had a simple philosophy: Make the best possible pizza, charge the lowest possible price. They now have locations in Colorado, Wisconsin and Iowa.

National League for Nursing

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

With the globe shrinking, thanks to the Internet, sophisticated technology, and advanced communications, there are increased opportunities for international experiences in nursing education. Hence, the need for the Faculty Preparation for Global Experiences Toolkit, an initiative of INESA (International Nursing Education, Services, and Accreditation), a joint task force of the National League for Nursing and NLN Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).

Today’s nurse educators engage in international collaboration for many reasons: personal interest; the encouragement of a dean; the creation of a course or curriculum in global service learning or community/public health; promoting the educator’s home institution. And there are many roles a nurse educator can assume in an international setting: teacher, consultant, researcher, clinician. “Moreover,” said NLN president, Dr. Judith Halstead, “research indicates that health outcomes improve with the heightened cultural sensitivity of caregivers. That’s why nurse educators now have greater motivation than ever for gaining exposure to diverse, trans-cultural learning environments.”

The toolkit consists of five sections that facilitate advance planning, provide practical advice for the time abroad, and aid in implementing lessons learned once the nurse educator returns to home base. The toolkit concludes with a bibliography and web-based resources for additional information. Among the many topics covered are:

Selecting a host country

Packing, visas, immunizations

How to embrace unfamiliar customs and surroundings

Special role of faculty abroad

Faculty/student collaborations

Evaluating the experience and designing next steps

“In the interest of increasing access to safe, quality health care worldwide, the NLN considers the advancement of global nursing education a priority. There is always so much to be learned from our colleagues around the world,” noted NLN CEO Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN.

Members of the committee that developed the toolkit were: Daria U. Amato, MSN, RN, CNE; Joyce Barra, PhD, RN; G. Elaine Patterson, EdD, FNP-C, RNC; Shannon E. Perry, PhD, RN, FAAN; Jane F. Sumner, PhD, RN, PHCNS, BC; and Virginia W. Adams, PhD, RN, consultant to the NLN.

The Faculty Preparation for Global Experiences Toolkit is available on the NLN website here.

For more information about the toolkit, contact Dr. Elaine Tagliareni at 212-812-0333.

Editors and reporters: For interview opportunities, please contact NLN chief communications officer, Karen R. Klestzick at 212-812-0376.

Dedicated to excellence in nursing, the National League for Nursing is the premier organization for nurse faculty and leaders in nursing education. The NLN offers professional development, networking opportunities, testing services, nursing research grants, and public policy initiatives to its 35,000 individual and 1,200 institutional members. NLN members represent nursing education programs across the spectrum of higher education and health care organizations and agencies.

The “Silver Medal Package” features the essentials for any Super Bowl enthusiast, all of which are available for bid everyday on Beezid, including a 51” 3D HDTV, a Samsung 3D Home Theater System, an official NFL football, a Custom Reebok NFL Premier Jersey, a remote controlled beverage cooler, a slow cooker, a PS3 system with a copy of Madden ‘12 and much, much more.

“Where the Super Bowl may only see one winner, we felt it necessary to reward the person that comes in second the most, thus changing the conventional rules of competitiveness. The Silver Medal Package could not be a better recognition of those efforts.” Bohbot elaborated.

The “Pimp My Super Bowl Party” event kicks off Sunday, January 22nd at 12:00PM EST, exactly two weeks before the coverage of the big game starts on Super Bowl Sunday. All items up for auction during the event offer guaranteed delivery before Super Bowl Sunday and every auction includes 500 Bonus bids to be awarded to each auction winner.
