Beehive Girl, Catherine Lugo, the co-host of the event was a Perfect Match! “I remember everything vividly, the day I found out that I was a match. My mother and my sister, Kellie, wanted to tell me together.  ‘You’re my match!’ Kellie said with timid excitement.  Three simple words, carrying the weight of our world in them. I was her chance. Her body and mine were most alike out of anyone; it made me feel closer to her than ever. I was ready.”

Catherine continues, “I would do this again in a heartbeat, in a blink of an eye, I would shout, ‘yes!’ To be a living donor, to help save a life, leaves you in awe of your recipient, and in awe of yourself. It changed my life… it can change yours.”

Be The Match Registry(SM) is the new name for the registry operated by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). The NMDP and the Be The Match Foundation(SM) are nonprofit organizations dedicated to creating an opportunity for all patients to receive the bone marrow they need, when they need it.  They’ve been helping patients receive the transplants they need for more than 20 years. www.marrow.org

“L.L. Lana Lang, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and now the greatest of them all, Lisa Lampanelli. Lisa will steal the show every time, whether it’s on my radio program or on any stage anywhere. I love Lisa and so should you…a true original and a brilliant comedy mind.” – Howard Stern

“Lisa is the most outrageous comic we have ever had on The Tonight Show.” – Jay Leno

“By boldly poking fun at everyone including her chocolate daddy lovin’ self, Lisa releases us from a prison of cultural guilt. She’s more than a standup, she’s a standout.” – Jim Carrey

“Every generation has a female comic that destroys the conventional wisdom that only men can be raunchy and funny. Lisa Lampanelli is this generation’s choice.” – Carlos Mencia

“An unbelievably great comedian. What she does is not easy in the environment we live in today. And Lisa pulls it off. Lisa is awesome.” – Larry the Cable Guy

“Lisa can tie me down to a bed any time!” – LL Cool J

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire/ — We all love chocolate…but few of us love chocolate the way Lisa Lampanelli does. Comedy’s Lovable Queen of Mean, the down-and-dirty roaster who has humbled the likes of Pamela Anderson, Larry the Cable Guy and Gene Simmons, brings us CHOCOLATE, PLEASE: MY ADVENTURES IN FOOD, FAT AND FREAKS (It Books; On Sale: September 15, 2009; Hardcover; $24.99).  With her no-holds-barred, jaw-dropping memoir, Lampanelli addresses racial, sexual, and religious taboos — tearing them to shreds and leaving no stereotype untouched.

The only woman who can be described as “a cross between Don Rickles, Archie Bunker, and a vial of estrogen,” Lisa has an opinion on every subject under the sun, and in CHOCOLATE, PLEASE she happily dishes on everything from why all white women should date black men, to the virtues of codependency, to how a stick of butter can serve as a substitute for parental love and attention. Lisa also offers her dangerously hilarious “Rules to Live By,” irreverently skewering subjects personal and universal with equal fervor…herself included.

Because she has made a career of going there about subjects from which other comedians shy away, Lisa describes her addictions to men and food – both, by the way, chocolate – in honest, forthright detail. Lisa’s accounts of her at-times hilarious struggles with both are evocative not only for the antics resulting from her bad habits, but also for the emotional pratfalls that kept her stuck in her ways. Every woman has faced a moment when she has been tempted to just settle, be it in her professional or her personal life. In CHOCOLATE, PLEASE we watch Lisa realize her self-worth, and become comedy royalty.

Whether she’s raking in the laughs at rehab among fellow patients with eating disorders, or telling her friend Howard Stern how she really feels about the men she dates in front of a nation of listeners, Lisa Lampanelli is always ‘killing it.’ Her unexpected combination of naughty and nice, totally honest and totally outlandish, is enough to make anyone fall for her. CHOCOLATE, PLEASE is a treat for fans who will get to know the off-stage Lisa for the very first time – and it’s an opportunity for Lisa to tempt a whole new set of readers with something a little sinful.

About the Author

New Gillette Survey of HR Professionals Reveals that Well-Groomed Guys Have an Edge in the Job Market

NEW YORK, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ — In an era when unemployment rates are soaring to near record highs, male job seekers may be more successful if they update their appearance along with their resume.  Results from a recent survey of more than 500 HR professionals – commissioned by Gillette® and conducted by Harris Interactive® – indicate that 84% of HR professionals agree that well-groomed employees climb the corporate ladder faster than those who are not well-groomed.  When it comes to first impressions, ninety percent of HR professionals place more importance on being well-groomed than even a firm handshake.

“How you look has a direct impact on how you feel, your confidence and self-esteem,” says Mark Jeffries, business consultant, communications expert and author of the best-selling book, What’s up with your handshake? “This is as true for guys actively seeking a job as it is for those who are currently employed and seek a competitive advantage. At the same time, seemingly small details, like a clean shave or a great-fitting – but not necessarily expensive suit – send important visual cues to others about your professionalism and confidence.”

Almost two-thirds of HR professionals surveyed believe that a candidate’s physical appearance is important in distinguishing them from other job candidates, and more than 90% agree that a candidate who takes the time to be well-groomed projects confidence.  On the other hand, when a candidate arrives unkempt for a job interview, HR professionals conclude he shows a lack of professionalism and more than half believe he is not interested in the position.  Despite this information, HR professionals still report that nearly one in five employees, on average, is not well-groomed.

A clean-shaven face was identified specifically as a critical grooming cue.  HR professionals cited facial stubble as one of the biggest red flags when meeting a job candidate for the first time, while 83% percent said that being clean-shaven is at least somewhat important in making a good first impression. Other major areas of concern for HR professionals include body odor or sweat stains, and wrinkled and inappropriate or ill-fitting clothing.

Jeffries notes that, “Whether you’re actively job searching or currently employed, you never know when the next opportunity will present itself.  You can run into a potential employer at the gym or on your way to the store, so it’s really important to look and feel your best at all times.”

Gillette offers an entire line of high-performance male grooming products at an affordable price to give guys a competitive edge during job interviews.  Gillette’s full range of male grooming products includes: Gillette Fusion®, Gillette Series Shave Gels, Gillette Styling, Gillette Clinical Strength anti-perspirants and deodorants, Gillette Clear Shield anti-perspirants and deodorants and Gillette Hydrating Body Washes.

“At Gillette, we understand the competitive nature of today’s job market and want to provide men with the tools to look their best, giving them the confidence to step up even if they may be doubting themselves,” said Thom Lachman, Vice President, North America Grooming, P&G.

Today, Gillette launched the Gillette Career Advantage on Gillette.com (www.Gillette.com/CareerAdvantage). There, job seekers and professionals looking to get ahead can review expert advice from Mark Jeffries and GQ style correspondent, Brett Fahlgren, take the Gillette Career Quiz and view the Hire Guide to see what HR professionals really think.  The Gillette Career Advantage is designed to help guys, providing them with the tools, information and advice needed to rise above the competition in today’s competitive job market.

Graduates Experience 15.6% Average Increase in Income

SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ — A recent survey conducted by Penn Foster, one of the world’s largest online career schools, shows an exceptionally high Return On Investment (ROI) for their career graduates despite these difficult economic times.

According to the survey, graduates of Penn Foster Career School diploma programs received an average 15.6% increase in their compensation after completing their program of study.  Of those who reported an increase in their compensation, 31% received a salary increase of more than $5,000 and 19% received a salary increase of more than $10,000.  In addition, 37% of graduates were promoted or accepted a new job.

The survey, conducted in June and July, showed the average Penn Foster Career School student earns back what he/she paid in tuition in just 2.4 months after graduation.

“The results that we’re seeing from the survey should come as great news for current and prospective Penn Foster students,” stated Stuart Udell, CEO of Penn Foster, “We’ve always worked under the premise that every student, regardless of income level, should have the opportunity to further his/her education, so we work very hard to make accredited, real-world training affordable to our students in terms of tuition and true Return on Investment.  I believe the survey results bear this out.”

With the skyrocketing costs of education, students and graduates are overwhelmed with large tuition bills and loans that often take many years to pay off.

“Our graduate ROI metrics are incredibly high when compared to other online schools, said Udell, adding, “While most schools are forced to measure payback periods in years, we measure payback periods in months.”

Penn Foster Career School offers some of the most affordable career programs. In addition, students are offered 0% APR financing as well as customized monthly payment plans. This allows students to make an affordable investment in their future that can yield positive results in a very short period of time.

WARWICK, R.I., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ — As growing numbers of students plan to spend academic semesters abroad, more and more parents are taking precautions to protect them while they’re away from home. With the H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic dominating headlines, student health and well being are priority one.

(Logo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070529/NETU076LOGO )

“Travel insurance is a ‘must have’ for students spending time abroad because it provides coverage where many traditional healthcare plans leave off,” explains Jim Grace, President and CEO of InsureMyTrip.com. “Many national healthcare plans provide only partial coverage for their members when they travel outside the U.S., and some don’t provide any coverage at all. Parents and students should check with their healthcare provider before venturing outside the U.S. to learn exactly how their policy will respond in the event of a medical emergency.” If additional coverage is needed, InsureMyTrip.com recommends travel medical, medical evacuation and/or cancel for any reason protection:

Travel Medical : Providing emergency medical coverage in the event of injury or illness, travel medical insurance policies are the most popular plans purchased for students going abroad. These plans also provide emergency medical evacuation coverage for transport to a proper care facility and can be purchased for travel up to a year in length.

Medical Evacuation: This coverage can be purchased as a stand alone policy or it may be included in comprehensive travel policies. It provides evacuation to the nearest appropriate care facility or, in some cases, to your hospital of choice depending on the company and plan.

Cancel For Any Reason : A prudent selection for those seeking to protect their trip investment, this coverage provides protection if you elect to cancel your study abroad trip before embarking. Some plans include this coverage and others offer it as an optional add-on. Canceling a trip due to fear of contracting Swine Flu, would ONLY be covered if you have Cancel for Any Reason coverage (CFAR). CFAR will allow you to:

• Cancel up until 2 days prior to departure.

• You may receive between 50%-100% reimbursed trip cost (varies by company).

• Policy must be purchased within 10-21 days (varies by company) of your first trip payment or deposit to qualify for this coverage.

“For a small fraction of the trip cost, travel insurance provides real protection to students overseas and priceless peace of mind to their parents at home,” says Grace. Whether you simply need one questioned answered or would like step-by-step assistance selecting the best travel insurance policy for your needs, InsureMyTrip.com’s expert Customer Care team can help. Visit www.insuremytrip.com or call (800) 487-4722 to speak with one of 15 licensed travel insurance representatives, Monday through Friday 7 AM to Midnight, Saturday 9 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 11 AM to 6 PM ET.

Author of ‘Ruminations on College Life’ describes new book as a tribute to being single when all your friends are couples

NEW YORK, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ — It Books, the pop culture imprint of HarperCollins, today announced the publication of Aaron Karo’s latest book, “I’m Having More Fun Than You ” Asking, “Why settle down when you can hook up?” the book is an outrageous account of one man’s quest to party like a rock star and silence his critics in relationships with the rebuke “I’m having more fun than you.” Irreverent, insightful, and relentlessly funny, Karo offers a unique glimpse into the world of guys who defy convention, morality, and their moms in order to preserve their independence.

“I’m Having More Fun Than You” is a collection of anecdotes and observations about single life and dating that Karo documented as he neared his thirtieth birthday. As that milestone approached, Karo noticed that the women around him wanted to get married more, while he actually wanted to get married less. Each of the seven chapters addresses a different aspect of bachelorhood – from the nuances of flirting with girls via Facebook, to attending weddings where the singles table is full of couples.

Karo’s first two books, “Ruminations on College Life” and “Ruminations on Twentysomething Life,” were published by Simon & Schuster in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Just as the first focused on dorm life and the second tackled the transition from college to the real world, “I’m Having More Fun Than You” addresses the next seminal experience in the lives of many young adults: turning thirty and realizing that everyone is married except for you.

Karo is also a nationally headlining comedian whose latest stand-up album, “Just Go Talk To Her ,” was released by Comedy Central Records in December 2008. The publication of “I’m Having More Fun Than You” will be accompanied by a fifteen-city stand-up tour in October and November 2009. In addition to performing, Karo is the Chief Executive Officer of www.Ruminations.com, the user-generated humor site and social network he founded in August 2008. Karo is perhaps best known for “Ruminations,” the email column he began twelve years ago from his freshman dorm room at the University of Pennsylvania and that remains an international phenomenon.

CampusReform.org to Challenge Dominance of College Leftists

ARLINGTON, Va., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Leadership Institute today launched CampusReform.org, a new social networking website for conservative student activists.  Designed to help student groups promote conservative principles and fight liberal abuses at colleges and universities across the country, CampusReform.org offers its users advanced networking capabilities, training, and a variety of continually updated activism resources.

The website includes a unique subsite for each of the 2,376 four-year colleges and universities in the country and offers customizable pages for both student groups and individual users.

“CampusReform.org will dramatically increase the number of battles fought against leftist abuses on college campuses this year,” said Morton Blackwell, Leadership Institute founder and president.  “And based on long experience, conservative students will win most of those new battles as they identify, expose, and combat leftist abuses and bias.”

Blackwell started CampusReform.org to provide an online organizing platform for conservative activists who want to stand up for their principles on campus and reclaim American higher education from the left.  He organized the 1980 Youth for Reagan effort and was on the Steering Committee of National Youth for Goldwater in 1964.

“CampusReform.org will help students break the left’s stranglehold on the ivory tower.  Enough is enough, and it’s time for conservatives to stand up against liberal indoctrination on college campuses,” said Tyler Millage, a junior political science major at UNC-Wilmington who works with the Leadership Institute.

Established in 1979, the Leadership Institute increases the number and effectiveness of conservative activists across the country.  To do that, the Institute identifies, recruits, trains, and places conservatives in government, politics, and the media, enrolling more than 74,000 students in its unique programs since its inception.

LI’s Campus Leadership Program, which encompasses CampusReform.org, has already organized over 1,100 currently active independent student groups and publications at colleges across the country and maintains a correspondent relationship with these campus activists.
