Klingenstein Fields Wealth Advisors’ SVP Jonathan B. Roberts, CFA, CIC, Delivers Opening Remarks at Investment Adviser Association’s 2016 Annual Leadership Conference

NEW YORK, N.Y., May 11, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Jonathan B. Roberts, Chief Compliance Officer and Senior Vice President at KFWA (Klingenstein Fields Wealth Advisors), a leading wealth management firm with approximately $3 billion in assets under management, welcomed attendees with insightful opening remarks at the Investment Adviser Association's (IAA) 2016 Annual Leadership Conference.

Mr. Roberts discussed the strong growth in the investment adviser industry and the challenges that accompany it, including heightened regulatory and public scrutiny, greater competition and the increased complexity of investment management.

According to Mr. Roberts, regulatory oversight, in particular, is a topic of focus from an array of organizations and agencies, from the SEC and FINRA to banking regulators, the Treasury and the Financial Stability Oversight Council, as well as the Department of Labor, which has recently expanded their definition of fiduciary.

"The demographics of an aging population are engendering an increased focus on retirement issues and the need for advice," stated Mr. Roberts. He went on to talk about the crucial role that the IAA plays in working with legislators and regulators in representing the investment adviser community, helping to develop appropriately tailored regulation, as well as to uphold fiduciary standards. "A core part of the IAA's mission is to promote and preserve the highest standard of fiduciary duty that is the bedrock of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940," Mr. Roberts remarked.

Mr. Roberts urged attendees to remember that "fiduciary advice is critical for clients and their financial futures." He closed by reviewing the critical role the IAA plays in advocating for investment advisers and their clients, reminding participants of how important it is to get involved and work together to "strengthen their individual businesses and the overall standing of our profession."

Mr. Roberts serves as Chair of the IAA's Board of Governors.

Arthur Mitchell to be Honored with Columbia Doctorate of Humane Letters

NEW YORK, N.Y., May 9, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Columbia University will confer the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters on the legendary dance pioneer and social activist Arthur Mitchell this month, the Arthur Mitchell Project announced today.

The honorary degree, which will be awarded during Commencement exercises on May 18, 2016 recognizes the trailblazing role Arthur Mitchell has played in diversifying classical dance. "I am very honored and very proud to receive this award from Columbia," says Mitchell.

In their announcement of this distinguished recognition, Columbia University noted that Mitchell has been a seminal figure in the dance world for more than a half century. In 1955, the same year civil rights activist Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama and fomented a national fight against segregation, Mitchell joined New York City Ballet and changed the face of ballet in America.

In 1957, George Balanchine, co-founder of the New York City Ballet, would choreograph the radical pas de deux of Agon for Mitchell and his white dance partner, Diana Adams. It is thought to be the first interracial duet in American ballet. Balanchine would choreograph iconic roles especially for him in ballets such as Midsummer Night's Dream, Ivesiana, and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue. Mitchell would remain the only African-American company member during his 15 years dancing with NYCB.

Before making his debut with the New York City Ballet, Mitchell appeared on Broadway in "House of Flowers," Truman Capote's first musical, "Noel Coward's Sweet Potato," and "Kiss Me Kate." He also danced with the socially-minded African American choreographer Donald McKayle, the Anna Solow company, and made film and television appearances.

Mitchell is a pivotal figure in the conversation on diversity in classical ballet, which he helped to galvanize. In 1969, he left full-time performing to co-found the Dance Theatre of Harlem with influential ballet master Karel Shook. The organization, which began as a school with thirty students and a company of two dancers in a garage on 152nd Street, was designed to offer children -especially those in Harlem -- the opportunity to learn about dance. The company, which made its official debut on January 8, 1971 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York with three ballets choreographed by Mitchell, also performed several works by Balanchine and Jerome Robbins during its inaugural season.

Over the years, Mitchell assembled an eclectic repertoire for his company ranging from Balanchine's neo-classical-styled dances to the Ballet Russe classics, as well as works commissioned from African-American choreographers including Louis Johnson, Alvin Ailey, Garth Fagan, Geoffrey Holder, Tally Beatty, and Billy Wilson. During Mitchell's tenure as Artistic Director (he has been Artistic Director Emeritus since 2009), the company was invited by President Nelson Mandela to visit South Africa, breaking the country's thirty-year cultural ban. Dance Theatre of Harlem quickly grew into a multi-cultural institution and a dance company with an international reputation referred to by The New York Times as "one of the dance world's more visionary experiments."

The award from Columbia confirms the relationship that has developed between the university and Mitchell over the past two years. In December 2014, Mitchell donated his archive to the Rare Books and Manuscript Library at Columbia University, just steps from the Harlem neighborhood where he was born. "Harlem and New York City are part of my life's blood," said the dance pioneer. The extraordinary trove of photographs, posters, programs, clippings, correspondence, early film and video tell the story of Mitchell's encounters with leading artists and politicians - from Igor Stravinsky, Josephine Baker, and Alvin Ailey to Hillary and Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Nelson Mandela, and others.

The collection sheds new light on the history of American dance, the role of ballet in U.S. cultural diplomacy, and helps to document the social and political history of Harlem.

"I believe that dance, and the arts more broadly can be used as a catalyst for social change. This is why I started the Dance Theatre of Harlem," said Mitchell. "With these materials now at Columbia, artifacts of American dance history and African American history will be accessible to young scholars, academics, and the general public, furthering the push for change." The collection marks Columbia's first major dance archive.

Last October, the Arthur Mitchell Project Symposium, held at the Barnard Department of Dance and the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library, proved to be a rousing success. The two-day event brought together Mitchell's former dance partners at the New York City Ballet, members of the Dance Theatre of Harlem's company and staff, scholars, critics, and representatives of the Harlem arts organizations to reflect on Mitchell's legacy and the issue of diversity in the arts. In partnership with the university, Mitchell continues to develop performances and education programs focusing on diversity in dance through his most recent initiative, The Arthur Mitchell Project. The symposium set precedent for future shared programs between Columbia and Harlem organizations.

Among the many awards received by Mitchell during his storied career are the Kennedy Center Honors, the U.S. National Medal of Arts, induction into the National Museum of Dance Hall of Fame, and the Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities.

Mitchell views his latest honor and the gift of his archives to Columbia University as a continuation of his work to expand the opportunities in art for young African-Americans. His hope is that access to the Arthur Mitchell Collection can be optimized so that more people can learn about the importance of diversity in the arts.

Progressive Rock Group DeCoster Releases CD at The Bitter End in NY

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 18, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Progressive rock group DeCoster is releasing their second CD "Walking In The Sun," at the Bitter End, 147 Bleecker Street, New York City on Wednesday April 20, 2016 with an 8 p.m. performance.

The group is fronted by classically trained lead guitarist and composer Paul DeCoster who plays riffs on his Stratocaster that defy gravity, and writes lyrics and melodies that have an 80's feel, while his percussionist Rich Kulsar punctuates and supports the vibe with earthy ethereal Afro/Caribbean accents.

Paul DeCoster may have a Beach Boy look, but he's got some Elvis hip movement, and a voice that has musical register from Sting to Micheal Buble.

Look carefully at the image reflected on his aviator glasses on the cd cover, and you'll notice an iconic Coney Island landmark, "The Parachute Drop." This beach has been one of his muses and is forever attached to his soul.

Paul DeCoster says of himself, "As a musician, I've always found it easier to express my feelings and my imagination through sounds and lyrics. Very often, I tell a story that might be sparked by what I experience, or even what others have experienced, and when I write it, it's my reality for that moment. When I sing it, I live it again."

His new CD is available for download on iTunes Spotify and CD Baby.

About Paul DeCoster:

Paul DeCoster has been on the music bar scene in New York for a number of years, and continues to perform at numerous venues in and around New York City. He has taken his music recently to Atlanta, Seattle, and even played al fresco in Xuanwu Lake Park in Nanjing, China to some very happily surprised passersby. His musical inspirations have been The Police, Bryan Adams and Phoenix, as well as many contemporary artists. This summer he plans to tour the East Coast, and check out the London scene.

Wigglebutt Warriors Set to Host Pet-Friendly Sold Out Gala at Brotherhood Winery

WASHINGTONVILLE, N.Y., April 13, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Wigglebutt Warriors are set to put the "fun" in fundraising, as the creative duo hosts the sold-out, red carpet "Wigglebutts Uncorked" pet-welcoming gala on Saturday evening, April 16, 2016.

America's Oldest Winery, Brotherhood, in Washingtonville, New York, will open its Grand Monarque Hall for the 200 humans and 60 canine guests in attendance. Celebrity emcee, Andrea Arden of Animal Planet, will emcee and host as social media sensation, Cocker Spaniel, Dexter Bryant, welcomes guests to this black tie affair to benefit NYC Second Chance Rescue.

The one and only Chloe Kardoggian™ will attend Wigglebutts Uncorked as an exclusive dog media member. In addition, top dogs and cats that are well known on social media will be in attendance.

"With millions of dogs waiting in shelters and foster homes every day for a loving home, I had to do something more than share a Facebook post to help," Wigglebutt Warriors founder, Carol Bryant said. "Teaching dog rescue groups how to fundraise through creative means is one of our primary goals; that and saving dogs' lives."

Dexter the Wigglebutt Warrior will escort his moms down the aisle for the formal celebration of their marriage. After being together for 20 years, his moms are legally able to wed and will renew their vows during a portion of the evening's festivities.

In 2013, Bryant hosted the Wigglebutt Wedding, followed by Wigglebutts Go Hollywoof in 2014. To date, Wigglebutt Warriors has raised almost $50,000 for dogs in need.

Sponsors have stepped up to lend a hand and donate their time, services, and goods in support of Wigglebutts Uncorked. Highlights of the evening include:
* "Smorgasbark "for all dogs in attendance courtesy Dr. Harvey's;
* A "Best Day Ever" presentation to benefit rescue dog, Baby Joey, by Merrick Pet Care;
* The Wiggy Awards sponsored by My Pet Harmony;
* Prizes and surprises from Mutt Mitt and P.L.A.Y., Pet Lifestyle and You;
* Walking the red carpet and posing for "paw"-parazzi;
* Special singing performance by PupScouts;
* Swag bags, raffles, diamond necklace giveaway, and dancing.

"For many, dogs are the new kids, and being creative about how to raise funds and call attention to homeless and abused dogs is crucial," said Bryant. "Being able to dress up in fancy couture and enjoy a night out with your dog is on the bucket list of many dog moms and dads. We love being able to support dogs in need while celebrating those pups with which we share our lives."

A complete list of sponsors and details may be found at http://FidoseofReality.com/.

Media is welcome with advance notice. Photos and interviews available on request.

Military Thriller Weaves Paranormal with Historical Fiction

WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y., April 13, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "The Reflection of Innocence" (ISBN: 978-0692646526), by John Tolliver, is a story that centers on a Navy misfit with the ability to see inside people's souls. Gift or curse? The reader will have to decide.

"Seeing other people's memories is not all fun and games," Tolliver says. "While reliving the memories of a dreamer or a theologian might be a fascinating gift, a peek into the mind of a despot or psychopath can be horrific."

Told in the first person, the main character, John Calabrace, was never an ordinary child. While he grew up in ordinary circumstances, he possessed this extraordinary ability. A simple brush of the shoulder or light handshake quickly jolts John into a visual frenzy of emotions and memories that are not his own.

In an effort to escape the madness, he joins the Navy. The presence of an old nemesis causes him to seek refuge as a submariner. He quickly adjusts to life on the ocean's floor and finally begins to feel safe. Just as he settles in, his gift is discovered and he is asked to return to the surface where his gift is used to serve his country.

Set in the 1980s, this pulsing pounding, adventure thriller now takes this hero from undersea to dangerous ground in Egypt, Yugoslavia and El Salvador. The question is, will the spinning moral compass of this brave, but tortured soul get him home alive?

Readers give it positive reviews and descriptions range from "fast-paced and suspenseful" to "interesting and captivating."

"The Reflection of Innocence" is available at Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com and iBooks.

About the author:

John Tolliver spent six years working on submarines in the Navy. This experience was followed by a 30+ year career in the nuclear chemistry field. Today, he spends his time volunteering as a mediator and arbitrator in the New York courts and works in animal rescue. He is a New York native and lives in the Hudson Valley region of the state. His 20-year hobby of buying and selling gemstones has provided him with the opportunity to travel the globe and meet some of interesting people along the way. "The Reflection of Innocence" is his debut novel.

W&L Hopes Faster FDA Publication of Potential Risk Signals for SGLT2 Inhibitors: Newest – Stroke, Thromboembolic Events, Acute Kidney Injury

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 1, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C., said today it hopes potentially fatal side effects associated with SGLT2 inhibitor drugs will be reported to consumers faster, since people taking these next-generation diabetes medications deserve to be notified of the health dangers shortly after they have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Unfortunately, the most recent report of serious potential side effect risks were not announced by the FDA this year until after a significant delay, the nationally known law firm said.

In lists of these medications and their side effects published this year, the FDA stated it has now identified potential new signals of serious risk for people taking SGLT2 inhibitors, including strokes, thromboembolic events and acute kidney injury, Weitz & Luxenberg pointed out.

The potential risk of strokes and thromboembolic events was detected during the second quarter of 2015 and should have been published on the FDA's website by the end of the third quarter of last year. Weitz & Luxenberg has learned, however, that this potential safety signal was not posted on the FDA's website until February of this year, four months overdue.

The potential risk for acute kidney injury had been determined by the FDA based on data received from consumers and healthcare providers between October and December of last year, said Weitz & Luxenberg.

Concerns with SGLT2 Inhibitors Identified:

There are currently seven SGLT2 inhibitor drugs. All of them were listed under the potential signals of serious risk for stroke, thromboembolic events and acute kidney injury. The FDA became aware of these potential serious risks through its Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), according to Weitz & Luxenberg.

The law firm said the seven SGLT2 inhibitor drug brands listed in the two FDA lists of potential signals of serious risks are:
* Invokana (canagliflozin)
* Invokamet (canagliflozin/metformin HCl)
* Farxiga (dapagliflozin)
* Glyxambi (empagliflozin/linagliptin)
* Jardiance (empagliflozin)
* Synjardy (empagliflozin/metformin HCl)
* Xigduo XR (dapagliflozin/metformin HCl).

SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2) inhibitors are prescription medicines approved by the FDA to treat adult type 2 diabetes mellitus when combined with diet and exercise, said Weitz & Luxenberg.

SGLT2 inhibitors are prescribed in an attempt to lower blood sugar levels.

A growing body of scientific literature and adverse event reports made to regulatory bodies around the world, including the FDA, have linked SGLT2 inhibitors to a spectrum of serious adverse health consequences, the law firm said.

Lawsuits Commenced:

In 2015, Weitz & Luxenberg launched an investigation of those adverse health consequences. The firm said its findings convinced it to begin accepting cases from consumers injured by SGLT2 inhibitors.

The firm has filed five cases on behalf of individuals who suffered from diabetic ketoacidosis, who then went on to suffer one of the following devastating events: coma, kidney injuries, and infection leading to necrotizing fasciitis. Those cases are pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County.

Individuals Who Suffered Harm from SGLT2 Inhibitors Deserve Help:

Weitz & Luxenberg said delays in government reporting of newly-identified potential SGLT2 inhibitor health risks have not slowed the effort to bring the drugs' manufacturers to justice.

Still, attorneys within the firm said it would be beneficial to the public were FAERS reports made available sooner.

"By the time consumers find out there is a new pattern of problems being reported to the FDA with SGLT2 inhibitors, it may be too late, as many of them will by then have already suffered a devastating medical event," said attorney Ellen Relkin, who is leading the Weitz & Luxenberg SGLT2 inhibitors investigation.

"The FDA should consider ways to improve the processes by which it acquires and analyzes adverse event data, and also the processes by which it produces and readies FAERS reports," Relkin added.

Relkin said her firm is interested in hearing from adult patients who took an SGLT2 inhibitor and then experienced diabetic ketoacidosis requiring hospitalization, renal failure or acute kidney injury requiring hospitalization, stroke or other thromboembolic events, such as blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis or "DVT") or lungs (pulmonary embolism or "PE").

She said Weitz & Luxenberg also is interested in talking to individuals who took SGLT2 inhibitors and were hospitalized after suffering urinary tract infections resulting in blood infections (urosepsis) or kidney infections (pyelonephritis).

Relkin said individuals harmed in any of these ways may be entitled to reimbursement for the cost of hospitalization and any related medical care, in addition to other expenses, plus lost wages and more.

Golden Opportunity Has Special Meaning in New York

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 28, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The American Friends of Neve Hanna today announced that "golden opportunity" took on a special meaning when award-winning chef and co-owner of Philadelphia's Zahav (Gold) restaurant, Michael Solomonov, met the girls and boys of the Neve Hanna Children's Home in Kiryat Gat, Israel.

On a special night in New York, American Friends of Neve Hanna led by Co-Presidents Janet and Irwin Tobin, came together with Chef Solomonov to celebrate 40 years of service to children and the publication of Solomonov's new cookbook, "Zahav" (ISBN: 978-0544373280).

Chef Solomonov shared both a signature recipe and the personal culinary journey that led him back to Israel and his meeting with the children at Neve Hanna. Neve Hanna provides youngsters from dysfunctional families with a loving and healthy home - and a future they would not otherwise have.

Solomonov and his family visited the Neve Hanna campus last June and were particularly impressed by the inspiring, resilient young people who overcome serious challenges to succeed and thrive.

Neve Hanna is a unique therapeutic community, supported by the Masorti (Conservative) religious movement, which offers art, drama and animal assisted therapy, remedial academic teaching, University tuition assistance, educational trips and an on-site bakery which teaches vocational and business skills.

The bakery has become so successful that it now provides baked goods to restaurants and corporate dining facilities throughout Israel. Chef Solomonov could relate to the children of Neve Hanna; indeed, it was his time spent working in a bakery in Israel as a teen that proved to be the first step towards finding his calling in food and pursuing a career built around furthering the State of Israel through this lens.

Situated in the southern part of Israel, Neve Hanna not only serves its resident young people (who are referred by the Israeli courts) but also provides daily programming and services to neighboring youngsters from the Bedouin town of Rahat.

Michael Solomonov is now embarking on a new venture - the eagerly anticipated Dizengoff NYC, an Israeli style hummusiya and his first restaurant in New York (Dizengoff Philly opened in Summer of 2014), opening this April in Chelsea Market.

For information about Neve Hanna or to purchase a copy of Zahav, please call or email The American Friends of Neve Hanna at (212) 533-2061 or afnevehanna@gmail.com. Please visit our website at http://www.afnevehanna.org/.

EaseUS Finally Uncovers New Data Recovery Wizard 10.0

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 16, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- EaseUS has officially unveiled the long awaited Data Recovery Wizard 10.0, which speeds up whole data scanning process through adjustment on RAW recovery algorithm. With Swedish and Danish supported in this version, newly added file labels allow users to exactly specify target files to recover in a flash alongside selection.

What makes EaseUS data recovery software version 10.0 a highlight is the RAW recovery mode that has great effects on data scanning, including the speed and restoring results. When a file system of hard drive partitions is damaged or corrupted, the hard disk becomes RAW -- that makes it unreadable to the operating system and any data cannot be written into. Thereafter, the partition does not contain a recognized file system.

Some common error messages may appear then whether it's necessary to format the hard disk. In a case study, possible causes for a hard drive to become RAW are destroy on file system structure, partition table damage, OS failure, intrinsic problems on hard drive and virus attack. Right now with the drive being in the raw state there is no access to the original data stored on that partition which is susceptible to such situation. Whatever the cause, it's very pressing to return the file system back to its original form against any severe data loss disasters.

EaseUS RAW recovery can simply get all lost data back to its original state by fixing the RAW file system in the progress without fear that it may lead to further damage. It centers round file recovery efficiency and results in greater restoring success.

On the other hand, more file labels are added in the 10.0 edition that makes it remarkably easy to track down all lost files especially Office document, Word, Excel or PPT and extract accurately what to recover in a breeze. Thus, the entire file recovery course gets much smooth and clear whatever users' skill level.

Making incessant moves on data recovery from Windows environment, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard 10.0 continues to put restoring effectiveness at the first place for a hassle-free experience and heads into meeting broad users' needs on international market gradually with multi-language supported.

Weitz & Luxenberg Attorneys Chosen as 2016 ‘Rising Stars’ by Super Lawyers Magazine

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 11, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Super Lawyers revealed that eight Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C. attorneys have been named by the magazine as 2016 "Rising Stars" of the profession, Weitz & Luxenberg today announced.

The eight "Rising Star" Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys are James J. Bilsborrow, Adam S. Dreksler, Michael Fanelli, Mary Grabish Gaffney, Danielle M. Gold, Danny R. Kraft, Jr., Gennaro Savastano and Jonathan M. Sedgh, the nationally known personal injury and mass tort law firm reported.

The "Rising Stars" join an impressive roster of Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys who were named last September to the magazine's prestigious list of "Super Lawyers," the law firm noted.

"Rising Star" attorneys are law practitioners found by Super Lawyers magazine to be supremely talented and accomplished in their respective fields, according to Weitz & Luxenberg.

To be named to the annual list, a "Rising Star" candidate must first undergo a rigorous evaluation process, Weitz & Luxenberg said.

This process involves a thorough review of the candidate's performance as a lawyer in and out of the courtroom. It also entails listening to what peers have to say about the attorney, the firm explained.

Weitz & Luxenberg pointed out that Super Lawyers magazine bestows "Rising Star" honors upon only a very small percentage of attorneys in any given geographic region.

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y., Feb. 29, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- DearMob's 5KPlayer makes a quantum leap into Version 3.6 for Windows and Mac upon the announcement of Oscars 2016 winners, offering an ideal choice for users to watch Oscars 2016 best pictures including "Spotlight," "The Revenant" and more with the free video player. For refined video quality, this upgrade involves major improvements in playing encrypted online videos and AirPlay to Apple tvOS 9.2 released on Feb. 23, the previous bug of playing videos without sound also gets addressed on both Windows and Mac.

To bring the best pictures in the 88th Academy Awards to each audience, 5KPlayer fixed two problems with online watching and video downloading (when legitimate), so that anyone can use it to watch "Spotlight," "The Revenant," and "Mad Max: Fury Road" with non-faulty soundtracks, original subtitles, and no video choke or mosaic. Another homegrown option of 5KPlayer called AirPlay also sees a fine-tune in conjunction with the latest Apple tvOS 9.2 upgrade, which can present movies from PC (Windows 10 compatible) or Mac to Apple TV.

The online download module is adjusted so as to analyze and download streaming videos from legal sites. In front of Oscars 2016 movies with world-class visual effects and screenplay, 5KPlayer Version 3.6 for Windows and Mac comes just in time.

The brand new AirPlay kernel of 5KPlayer supports any Oscars 2016 movies for AirPlay from PC to Apple TV for bigger-screen enjoyment. Apple buffs can now upgrade to the latest Apple tvOS 9.2 with 5KPlayer working deftly. Despite dozens of 3rd party AirPlay servers squashed by AirPlay in iOS 9.0 or newer, 5KPlayer is a resilient candidate to catch up with the latest Apple updates.

Upholding the principle of supplying creative multi-media solutions, 5KPlayer's in-time leap into Version 3.6 for Mac and Windows fully testified its consideration for users amid the annual grand event for pictures. Watching best pictures of the Oscars 2016 with 5KPlayer, the audiences can see how a real free video player can work wonders with world-class movies and cinematography.

Laura Gould Crandall, Executive Director of SUDC Foundation Named 2016 Honoree of the NYU Langone Medical Center’s FACES Gala

NEW YORK, N.Y., Feb. 23, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- On March 7, 2016, Laura Gould Crandall, Executive Director of the SUDC Foundation and 2016 FACES Gala Honoree, actor and film producer Harrison Ford, and esteemed medical professionals will attend an exclusive evening at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers featuring dinner and both a live and silent auction to benefit the mission of FACES (Finding a Cure for Epilepsy and Seizures) and NYU Langone's Comprehensive Epilepsy Center.

A portion of the proceeds from FACES events are to support the funding of several outstanding research projects, including the Epilepsy Diet Program and the Human Epilepsy Project.

Laura Gould Crandall is also a research scientist in the Department of Neurology at NYU School of Medicine. Crandall's mission and subsequent honor has not been without hardship. In 1997 she lost her first child, Maria, to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) at the age of 15 months. Witnessing a breakdown in the investigative process, as well as a lack of support for the families of children who have succumbed to SUDC, she created the SUDC Foundation. SUDC works to "support families by upholding the mission of being the centralized resource for SUDC information, support, advocacy and crucial research."

With Laura's perseverance and six years of advocacy, President Obama signed into law the "The Sudden Unexpected Death Data Enhancement and Awareness Act" in December of 2014. The bill works "to improve the quality and consistency of data collected during the death scene investigations and autopsies to better inform prevention and intervention efforts related to stillbirths, Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths (SUID) and Sudden Unexplained Death In Childhood (SUDC)."

Approximately 400 children between 1 and 18 years old die where no cause is found despite an autopsy and thorough investigation. These Sudden Unexplained Deaths in Childhood (SUDC) have completely evaded public awareness. As a third of SUDC cases have a history of febrile seizure, she has partnered with Orrin Devinsky, MD, professor and director of NYU Langone's Comprehensive Epilepsy Center to create the SUDC Registry and Research Collaborative to better understand and prevent sudden unexplained death in children. The study also help families who have suffered losses similar to her own. The NYU Langone FACES Gala recognizes Crandall this year for the important contributions she has made to the field.

About Laura Gould Crandall:

Laura Gould Crandall, MA is currently a research scientist in the Department of Neurology at NYU School of Medicine, overseeing the SUDC Registry and Research Collaborative, and President and Executive Director of the SUDC Foundation. Laura is also a licensed Physical Therapist in New Jersey and New York. She earned her undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from New York University in 1990 and 1996.

In 1997, her first child, Maria, succumbed to Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) at the age of 15 months. Through the death investigation of Maria, Laura was convinced that changes in the system could and should be achieved. So, she advocated for new child death investigation legislation in New Jersey, which became law in 2000. A subsequent New Jersey law regarding research passed in 2006, and in 2014, national legislation termed "The Sudden Unexpected Death Data Enhancement and Awareness Act" was signed into law by President Obama.

At the SUDC Foundation, Laura strives to support families by upholding the mission of being the centralized resource for SUDC information, support, advocacy and crucial research. Laura's work has been important for epilepsy, because a third of SUDC cases have a history of febrile seizure. Learn more at: http://www.sudc.org/ .

About FACES:

FACES (Finding a Cure for Epilepsy and Seizures) is affiliated with NYU Langone Medical Center and its Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. FACES funds research to improve epilepsy care, advances new therapies, and fosters a supportive community for children, families and caregivers who live with the challenges of epilepsy.

The mission of FACES is to improve the quality of life for all those affected by epilepsy and seizures.

About SUDC:

The Sudden Unexplained Death In Childhood (SUDC) Foundation (formerly The SUDC Foundation created in September 2001) is tasked with providing a centralized resource for information, support and advocacy. It serves families and professionals affected by the tragedy of SUDC, and promotes awareness of SUDC in communities.

Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC) is the sudden and unexpected death of a child over the age of twelve months, which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation is conducted. This must include: examination of the death scene, performance of a complete autopsy, and a review of the child and family's medical history. SUDC is a diagnosis of exclusion - given when all known and possible causes of death have been ruled out. Learn more: http://www.sudc.org/ .

Very Rich Style (VRS) by Velica Steadman Featured in the PLITZS New York City Fashion Week Designer Showcase

NEW YORK, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Very Rich Style is a fashion design brand that was born from a mother's desire. The owner, Velica Steadman initially, originally thought sewing would just be a hobby. However, her mother pushed her towards a different idea. After a decent amount of encouragement, her mother's advice finally got to her. Velica changed her attention from small decorative furnishings, to dress-making, and creating men's accessories.

Unknowingly, she found a love for constructing something that would be admired by many. After her family discovered this new skill of hers, they decided to ask her for custom-made clothing. Miss Steadman would never have thought she could make a label out of this newly found love.

However, with the help of her family, VRS (Very Rich Style) was born. VRS, Very Rich Style, is considered to be "funky chic with a mix of retro couture and modern flair." Most of Velica's inspiration also came from her travels abroad in such fashion capitals as Paris, Barcelona, and Dubai.

Velica Steadman will present her Very Rich Style (VRS) collection in this year's PLITZS New York City Fashion Week, February 18, 2016, hosted by PLITZS Fashion Marketing. Their collection will be presented at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday February 18, 2016 at the Hotel Pennsylvania in Midtown NYC.

Erin Brockovich and Weitz & Luxenberg to Visit Hoosick Falls, N.Y., Groundwater Contamination Victims on Jan. 30

NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan. 28, 2016 (SEND2PRESSS NEWSWIRE) -- Environmental activist Erin Brockovich, together with a team of Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys, look forward to meeting with victims of the Hoosick Falls, New York PFOA groundwater contamination on Saturday, January 30, 2016, said the nationally known personal injury and mass tort law firm.

This community meeting will be held between noon and 2 p.m. in the Greenwall Auditorium at Bennington College, Bennington, Vermont, 15 minutes away from Hoosick Falls. Here are directions to the Auditorium: http://www.benningtondance.org/greenwall.html.

Ms. Brockovich also plans to visit the stricken upstate New York town for a tour, followed by a discussion at the Auditorium with residents about the local water contamination. She will be accompanied by Weitz & Luxenberg's Robin L. Greenwald, who heads the firm's Environmental, Toxic Tort & Consumer Protection litigation unit, and other attorneys from the firm.

Ms. Brockovich, a long time environmental advocate, will share her experiences dealing with water contamination. Weitz & Luxenberg will discuss the legal options and remedies available to Hoosick Falls clients and other residents who seek assistance, the firm announced.

PFOA Contamination Making Residents Sick:

Ms. Brockovich and Weitz & Luxenberg have been investigating suspected causes and consequences of the PFOA water contamination problem affecting Hoosick Falls since early January, said Ms. Greenwald. "This investigation was conducted to allow us to seek justice for the affected residents from those responsible for the contamination," she stated.

PFOA is a synthetic substance used in the manufacture of no-stick cookware, dental floss, electrical insulation and other familiar products.

The municipal water supply in Hoosick Falls has been found to contain potentially dangerous levels of PFOA. Some residents of the town have reported falling ill after using this water for drinking and cooking.

Chronic PFOA exposure has been linked to testicular cancer, kidney cancer, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Studies suggest other possible health consequences including a possible connection to pancreatic cancer.

EPA Also Looking Into PFOA Problem:

Ms. Brockovich's visit comes after a January 14 public meeting that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted. Officials with the New York State Department of Health and Department of Environmental Conservation also attended that meeting, stated Weitz & Luxenberg.

According to the Albany, New York, Times Union newspaper, angry and frustrated residents filled the auditorium looking for answers and solutions.

EPA Regional Administrator Judith Enck led the meeting and apologized to residents for the misery they are enduring.

"I'm very, very sorry that you have been going through this," the Times Union quoted Ms. Enck as saying. "I'm sorry that we don't know how long you have been drinking contaminated water.... Action should be taken to protect your health."

State officials at the meeting announced that they had requested that the EPA place the suspected major source of Hoosick Falls PFOA contamination on the EPA's Superfund cleanup site list. EPA officials announced that the earliest that Hoosick Falls could be considered for Superfund status would be in the fall of 2016, said the firm.

Weitz & Luxenberg’s Greenwald Is Co-Lead Counsel in Excellus Data Breach Case

NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan. 26, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Robin L. Greenwald, head of the Weitz & Luxenberg Environmental, Toxic Tort & Consumer Protection litigation unit, will serve as interim co-lead counsel in the developing Excellus BlueCross BlueShield data breach class action lawsuit, according to the firm.

Ms. Greenwald was appointed to that important leadership position by the judge presiding over the case, Hon. Elizabeth A. Wolford of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. She will serve with Hadley L. Matarazzo of Faraci Lange in Rochester.

In addition to Ms. Greenwald's appointment, Judge Wolford also named Weitz & Luxenberg to serve as co-lead law firm, explained Weitz & Luxenberg.

Greenwald Chosen Due to Extensive Experience and Expertise:

Judge Wolford explained in her January 25 appointment order that Ms. Greenwald is highly qualified and will zealously and effectively represent the potential class of plaintiffs.

As interim co-lead counsel, Ms. Greenwald will be responsible for utilizing her expertise to best represent the interests of the plaintiffs, Judge Wolford wrote.

Judge Wolford also said that Weitz & Luxenberg was selected for the co-lead law firm position because of the firm's "considerable work in identifying and investigating potential claims in this action, demonstrated experience in handling complex class actions,...knowledge of the applicable law, and established...willingness to commit significant resources to representing the class."

James Bilsborrow, another Weitz & Luxenberg attorney on this case, also looks forward to working on behalf of class members impacted by the breach: "Weitz & Luxenberg owns a strong reputation for experience in data breach actions," he said. "Weitz & Luxenberg also has devoted significant time to working with - and understanding the needs of - the affected community in western New York."

In particular, Judge Wolford indicated that she was impressed by the comprehensive plan Weitz & Luxenberg had partnered in formulating for prosecuting the case against Excellus and co-defendant Lifetime Healthcare Inc. Lifetime is the parent company of Excellus.

Excellus Data Breach was Massive:

The class action lawsuit is still in its initial stages. At this point, according to the court order, it includes at least 14 consolidated matters, the first of which was filed in mid-September, said Weitz & Luxenberg.

The plaintiffs are among the 10.5 million Excellus and Lifetime customers whose personal information was exposed in a data breach that came to light in August. It is believed the data breach had been ongoing since late 2013, according to the firm.

Among the confidential records illicitly accessed by the hackers who masterminded the data breach were customer names and account numbers, home addresses, phone contact numbers, birth dates, Social Security numbers and personal financial data. All of these data are useful to identity thieves and other criminals, pointed out Bilsborrow.

Part of the reason why Ms. Greenwald makes an excellent choice for interim co-lead counsel is her background in the enforcement of laws. Prior to joining Weitz & Luxenberg in 2005 she served as General Counsel for the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of the Interior, explained the firm.

Previous to that, Ms. Greenwald was an assistant chief of the Environmental Crimes Section of the Department of Justice, in charge of Legislation, Policy and Special Litigation. At the onset of her career she was an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said Weitz & Luxenberg.

Robin L. Greenwald of Weitz & Luxenberg Named to Leadership Role in Volkswagen Multidistrict Litigation

NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan. 22, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Robin L. Greenwald, a former senior attorney within the U.S. Department of Justice and now head of the Weitz & Luxenberg Environmental, Toxic Tort & Consumer Protection litigation unit, has been appointed to an important leadership role in the multidistrict federal court litigation currently advancing against Volkswagen, Weitz & Luxenberg today announced.

Greenwald was named to the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee on Jan. 21 by the Hon. Charles R. Breyer of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Weitz & Luxenberg said.

Consumers in this multidistrict litigation are alleging that Volkswagen sold them diesel vehicles programmed to pass smog tests by cheating, a capability that not only causes significant pollution but also substantially lessens the value of these expensive cars, the law firm said.

The matter is known as In Re: Volkswagen "Clean Diesel" Marketing, Sales Practices, And Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2672 CRB JSC), according to Weitz & Luxenberg.

'Defeat Device' Said Installed in VW Diesels:

The litigation against Volkswagen traces back to mid-September when it was revealed that the company had outfitted nearly half a million diesel vehicles in the U.S. with a device to enable them to appear compliant with air pollution emissions standards when in fact they were not, law firm indicated.

Weitz & Luxenberg said it then initiated a class action lawsuit against Volkswagen on behalf of defrauded consumers across the country.

The complaint brought by Weitz & Luxenberg alleged in part that purchasers of the affected Volkswagen cars paid a premium to own these diesel vehicles, a premium attributable to their alleged environmental benefits and performance, the law firm said.

The Volkswagen lawsuit is not the first multidistrict litigation in which Greenwald has held a leadership position, Weitz & Luxenberg said.

Earlier, she served as plaintiffs' liaison counsel in In Re: Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether ("MBTE") Products Liability Litigation (MDL 1358) and for the past five years she has been a member of the Plaintiffs' Steering Committee for the BP Oil Spill litigation (MDL 2179), the law firm said.

A History of Championing Consumers:

Greenwald began her career in law as an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. She later became assistant chief of the Environmental Crimes Section of the Department of Justice, in charge of Legislation, Policy and Special Litigation, Weitz & Luxenberg said.

Greenwald then was appointed as General Counsel for the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the law firm said.

From there, she served as executive director of an international not-for-profit water protection organization and as a clinical professor of law at Rutgers Law School before joining Weitz & Luxenberg in 2005, according to the law firm.

Weitz & Luxenberg Helping Hoosick, N.Y., Victims of PFOA Contaminated Groundwater

NEW YORK, N.Y., Jan. 12, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Weitz & Luxenberg is investigating bringing a lawsuit against one or more companies believed responsible for certain cancers and other illnesses affecting residents of Hoosick, New York, where the residents have unwittingly been drinking water contaminated with PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), the nationally known personal injury and mass tort law firm today announced.

Weitz & Luxenberg has not yet named the companies, but indicated that a potential lawsuit against them would seek compensation for the harmed residents of Hoosick, a town of 6,500 in central upstate New York.

Weitz & Luxenberg has been working with famed environmental activist Erin Brockovich to identify affected residents and to develop a case against the parties responsible for the contamination of the town's groundwater, said Robin L. Greenwald, who heads the firm's Environmental, Toxic Tort & Consumer Protection litigation unit.

At this stage, Weitz & Luxenberg is focused on talking to Hoosick residents who used the PFOA-tainted water for drinking, cooking or bathing, and then afterward suffered health problems, as well as residents who cannot now drink their water because of the contamination, Greenwald said.

Most adversely affected have been residents of the Hoosick Falls section of town, where more than half of the population lives, Greenwald indicated. She added that the firm has already spoken to nearly two-dozen residents from Hoosick Falls and elsewhere in the vicinity.

EPA Plans Townhall Meeting on PFOA:

PFOA has been linked to testicular cancer, kidney cancer, thyroid disease, bone density reduction, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis and pregnancy-induced hypertension, Greenwald said.

"Health problems can result from exposure to as little as one-half of one part-per-billion of PFOA in drinking water," she explained. "One full part per billion is equivalent to a single drop of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool. Testing last year near Hoosick's water treatment plant found PFOA levels of 18 parts per billion.

"Due to its composition, PFOA remains indefinitely in the environment. It also accumulates and remains inside the human body. It is a very problematic chemical for these reasons," added Greenwald.

The New York State Public Health Department recently recommended residents use bottled water instead of tap, she said.

That echoed a mid-December recommendation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that advised Hoosick residents to avoid municipal public water for drinking or cooking and cautioned that showering or bathing in it could pose a health risk, Greenwald said.

The EPA plans to conduct a public meeting in Hoosick on Thursday, Jan. 14, to discuss PFOA health concerns due to contaminated groundwater and possible plans for cleaning up the town's water supply, said Greenwald.

"It will be an open forum discussion that begins at 6 p.m. in the auditorium of Hoosick Falls Central School, located at 21187 NY-22," she said. "The featured speaker will be EPA regional administrator Judith Enck. She will be joined by several EPA science and health experts. Information about PFOA will be distributed. Weitz & Luxenberg will have representatives at this meeting, which is being organized in cooperation with Healthy Hoosick Water, a not-for-profit corporation helping lead the effort to restore the town's water supply to a safe condition."

PFOA Water Contamination Lawsuit:

The firm continues to investigate all parties responsible for the contamination, Greenwald said.

Such a lawsuit will likely include demands for ongoing medical monitoring of Hoosick residents in addition to compensation for nuisance, diminution in the value of their real property and -- for those sickened - the costs of medical treatment, lost wages and pain and suffering, Greenwald said.

Last year, an Ohio federal jury awarded one plaintiff $1.6 million in compensation on her negligence and emotional distress claims against DuPont. The plaintiff alleged that she developed kidney cancer from drinking water contaminated with PFOA and that DuPont was responsible for the groundwater contamination, Greenwald noted. More than 3,500 personal injury cases arising from PFOA exposure are pending in federal district court in Ohio.

Residents of Hoosick and other communities impacted by PFOA groundwater contamination are encouraged to contact Weitz & Luxenberg for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation with an attorney to discuss legal rights to compensation, Greenwald said.

The consultation can be set up by contacting Weitz & Luxenberg at 800-476-6070 or by visiting the firm's website at www.weitzlux.com and completing a request form, she said.

EaseUS Conducts a Survey for Data and Information Security

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 28, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Recent reports have revealed that data or information security is a higher risk at the end of every year. EaseUS, an international leader in data backup and recovery utilities, has conducted an in-depth survey on data security for a healthy IT environment and made effective precaution suggestions to avoid information frauds and privacy leaks.

According to the long-term inquiry, it has disclosed that 82 percent have struggled with data security challenges for various reasons such as due to pranks, virus attacks, hacking, malicious spyware or malware, and important information and privacy disclosures. The most obvious occurrence is the sophisticated email scam due to important personal information leaking. On the basis of feedback, even some EaseUS users claimed that they also were spared a narrow escape from email fraud attempts. The recent investigation shows that criminals have gathered user email information in illegal manner or from unlawful avenues including irregular proxy servers, and then sent scam emails to users by the name of EaseUS or Apple App Store with a mimic of MyCommerce payment platform for a purchase request of cheap product copy. Many receivers of the trick are a little bit sloppy without verification of all the details and falls into the scammer's trap.

"Once I received an email for a payment of EaseUS Todo Backup Workstation sent by App Store. I'm not aware of the false branding information and unsuspectingly click on the given link to download the product. Later I realized that this email was perhaps a scam when automatic payment was completed which sent to my mailbox. I received no confirmation message or any other email after I downloaded the unreal application on my PC," an EaseUS customer named Micheal reported.

In such cases, it's an evident unauthorized activity; namely a fraud based on distinct signs in the email content. Hackers often send emails from fake Web sites that mimic reputable brands by adding or changing a few characters in the email address. Based on the information users offered, EaseUS Software, privacy-ready security tech, has detected a forged IP address which can viciously capture numerous information and alerted users of potential risks.

Information security and privacy are of paramount importance in today's information explosion world. EaseUS routinely shares useful advice for the public to take a multi-pronged approach to data or information security. The most effective way to guard against vulnerable data leak or loss is to reinforce the analyzing capacity and discretion; for example, careful analysis of email fraud which contains some common features such as fake email addresses, URLs, unbranded copy, typo, malicious attachments, emotional and uncharacteristic messaging.

Next, adequately monitor for unauthorized activity so that it becomes the usual practice for problem-tracking. Security products are maturing as vendors address how to better mesh security measures with user-friendly functionality. Also configuring proxy properly is to simply record system information instead of user login information as data privacy standards. What's more, the most effective way is appealing to laws for help. Legal team's opinion regarding user privacy rights can also help maintain a high level of security.

Study Highlights New Competition in Wear Coatings

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 21, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Thintri, Inc. (www.thintri.com) has announced a new market study that projects significant opportunities for new technologies in wear coatings. The report, "Wear Coatings: Hard Chrome and Its Alternatives, 2016," highlights the movement from traditional hard chrome and even common chrome replacements like thermal spray to an array of new technologies that care poised to capture significant markets in wear coating applications.

Traditional hard chrome plating has relied on the use of hexavalent chromium solutions, which have been related to significant health and environmental hazards. Tightened restrictions on hex chrome resulted in growing interest in alternatives to chrome. The main chrome replacement coating has been thermal spray, particularly HVOF. Both hard chrome plating and thermal spray applied to wear coatings have continued to grow in recent years.

Now, however, the situation is changing. For the first time, in this, the fifth version of Thintri's original 2003 chrome alternatives market study, hard chrome alternatives are poised to actually penetrate traditional hex chrome wear coating markets to the point of leading to a decline in hard hex chromes sales within the decade. The limitations of both hard chrome and thermal spray have made users of both technologies eager to find satisfactory alternatives.

A number of such alternatives have entered the market or will very soon. Chief among them is hard trivalent chrome, a long-sought method of plating chrome without using hazardous hexavalent chrome. For established users of hexavalent chrome, functional trivalent chrome presents basically the same coating, albeit at somewhat greater cost. Chrome platers can transition from hexavalent to trivalent chrome with a modest capital investment.

Trivalent chrome promises to be a game-changing technology by itself, but may be limited by a growing reluctance to use chromium in any form, simply out of concern that future regulations may limit its use.

Other new wear coating technologies are now available that offer significant advantages.

For example, plated technologies based on cobalt, such as electrodeposited nanocrystalline cobalt-phosphorus (NCoP), involves raw materials that are significantly more costly than chrome. However, the efficiency of the process is more than 90%, compared to 20% for chrome, and throughputs are higher, more than making up for the higher up-front costs. And the coatings offer essentially the same hardness. The NCoP coating technology is now commercially available.

Other processes, like electroless nickel (EN) offer their own advantages. For example, EN composite coatings can improve their wear properties by adding small particles. Teflon particles can be added to the solution to improve lubricity, or by adding diamond or silicon carbide particles to greatly improve wear resistance. Electroless nickel and electroless nickel composite coatings are also now commercially available.

Thintri's market study analyzes the applications and markets for wear coatings, highlighting new opportunities and discussing the impact of new technologies. Forecasts to 2022 are provided.

Weitz and Luxenberg Adds Serious Urinary Tract Infections to SGLT2 Inhibitor Injuries Probe

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 7, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C., today announced that the firm has expanded the scope of its investigation into SGLT2 inhibitor drug injuries. SGLT2 inhibitor drugs include Invokana and others listed below. This move will allow the nationally known mass tort law and personal injury firm to focus on cases where people taking SGLT2 inhibitors were hospitalized after developing urosepsis (serious infection of the blood) or pyelonephritis (infection of the kidneys) from SGLT2 inhibitor-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Weitz & Luxenberg's decision to add serious urinary tract infections resulting in urosepsis or pyelonephritis to its probe came after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced manufacturers of SGLT2 inhibitors would be required to include a warning about the risks of serious UTIs associated with this class of medication, the law firm said.

The FDA conveyed this new requirement in an updated Safety Communication issued on Dec. 4, 2015, said attorney Ellen Relkin, who is leading the Weitz & Luxenberg defective drug and medical devices's SGLT2 inhibitor investigation.

In the same Safety Communication, the FDA said SGLT2 inhibitor labels must also contain warnings about the risks of another serious complication that can occur - diabetic ketoacidosis.

Ketoacidosis is a serious condition in which blood acids called ketones are produced in high concentrations. The condition can be fatal if it goes untreated.

The FDA explained that the new requirement for SGLT2 inhibitor labels was prompted by reports appearing in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). These reports linked SGLT2 inhibitors with many cases of patients developing ketoacidosis and SGLT2 inhibitor-associated UTIs to cases of patients developing serious urosepsis or pyelonephritis, resulting in hospitalizations.

Urosepsis is a potentially life-threatening blood infection, while pyelonephritis is a serious infection of the kidneys, attorney Relkin said.

Indeed, the FDA notes that all of the reported cases in FAERS of urosepsis and pyelonephritis associated with SGLT2 inhibitors required hospitalizations, and "a few required admission to an intensive care unit or dialysis in order to treat kidney failure."

FDA Also Gives Recommendations to Patients Taking SGLT2 Inhibitors:

"UTIs have been listed in the labels of SGLT2 inhibitors under the section dealing with adverse reactions," attorney Relkin noted. "Moreover, the 'clinical studies experience' section of the label for two of the SGLT2 inhibitors, Invokana (canagliflozin) and Invokamet (canagliflozin and metformin), states that UTIs occurring with the use of these drugs included urosepsis," she added.

However, the FDA is now of the view that listing UTIs as an adverse reaction or under the clinical studies experience sections of SGLT2 inhibitor labels do not provide adequate warning of the potential dangers of SGLT2 inhibitor-associated UTIs.

After reviewing reports pertaining to SGLT2 inhibitors, the FDA determined that warnings needed to be added to the labels to warn about the risks of too much acid in the blood (ketoacidosis) and of serious urinary tract infections potentially leading to life-threatening urosepsis or pyelonephritis, if left untreated.

The FDA recommended patients discontinue use of the SGLT2 inhibitor and immediately seek medical attention if symptoms of ketoacidosis occur, the law firm said. Symptoms of ketoacidosis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unusual tiredness and trouble breathing.

The FDA also advises patients to contact their health professional "right away" if they develop any signs or symptoms of a UTI, including a burning sensation during urination, feeling the need to urinate frequently, feeling an immediate need to urinate, pain in the pelvic area, blood in the urine, fever, back pain, nausea or vomiting.

In addition to describing these SGLT2-inhibitor safety issues, the FDA's Dec. 4 Safety Communication also provided prescribing and monitoring recommendations.

As well, the FDA indicated that manufacturers of SGLT2 inhibitors would be required to conduct a study to analyze spontaneous postmarketing reports of ketoacidosis in patients using SGLT2 inhibitors, including the collection of additional specialized follow-up data for 5 years.

Weitz & Luxenberg Is Reaching Out to Those Injured While Taking SGLT2 Inhibitors:

SGLT2 inhibitors are FDA-approved prescription medicines for use with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, according to the FDA.

Besides Invokana (canagliflozin), FDA approval has been granted to these brands of SGLT2 inhibitors:
* Invokamet (canagliflozin and metformin).
* Farxiga (dapagliflozin).
* Xigduo XR (dapagliflozin and metformin extended-release).
* Jardiance (empagliflozin).
* Glyxambi (empagliflozin and linagliptin).
* Synjardy (empagliflozin and metformin).

Weitz & Luxenberg said its investigation of injury cases arising from the taking of SGLT2 inhibitor drugs began last June.

The injury of greatest concern prior to the release of this updated Safety Communication has been SGLT2 inhibitor-caused diabetic ketoacidosis that has resulted in death or has required hospitalization, the firm explained. Now, cases of urosepsis and pyelonephritis that begin as UTIs occurring while taking an SGLT2 inhibitor are equally concerning.

Weitz & Luxenberg said attorneys are available to discuss the legal rights of those taking SGLT2 inhibitors who were injured (or to their surviving spouses or relatives).

Porter Ranch Gas Leak Victims to Meet Erin Brockovich, Weitz and Luxenberg, Dec. 9 in Porter Ranch, CA

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 4, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Environmental activist Erin Brockovich - whom actress Julia Roberts famously portrayed in an Oscar-winning role - will join environmental and consumer protection attorneys from Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C., at a Southern California townhall meeting Wednesday evening, Dec. 9, for victims of the Porter Ranch gas leak, Weitz & Luxenberg today announced.

The exact time and location of the meeting will be announced shortly, Weitz & Luxenberg said. However, it will be in or near Porter Ranch, a community in the northwestern part of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, the law firm said.

Victims will be invited to talk about health problems, financial hardships, children's school-related issues, and the emotional turmoil suffered since the Porter Ranch gas leak, said to have begun on Oct. 23, the firm said.

Residents will also hear from Brockovich and from Weitz & Luxenberg attorneys about using the legal system to force the public utility responsible for the leak to stop it and prevent it from ever happening again and to restore the injured families' lives to the fullest extent possible, the firm said.

Additionally, attendees will hear from scientists and others about what can be done now to protect health, homes, education, and family finances in the face of the ongoing gas leak, the firm said.

Porter Ranch Gas Leak Causing Health Problems:

The gas leak occurred in an 8,500-foot well owned by Southern California Gas Co. The Los Angeles Times reported that the well is used to store natural gas treated with mercaptans, an agent that gives the odorless gas a smell like rotten eggs.

Attempts have been made to stop the leak but to date have failed. The Los Angeles Times reported that it could be as many as four months yet before the well is plugged.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the emissions from the Porter Ranch gas leak have also exposed the residents to methane.

The quantity of methane exposure has been significant. Authorities quoted by The Times estimate the Porter Ranch residents were exposed to the same amount of methane in just two months that is produced by 160,000 cars in an entire year. It is believed that residents are being exposed to other chemicals as well.

"The exposed residents have suffered headaches, dizziness, nosebleeds, stomach pain and respiratory problems," said Robin. L. Greenwald, who heads Weitz & Luxenberg's Environmental, Toxic Tort & Consumer Protection litigation unit. "There is no excuse for keeping those residents in the dark about the health consequences, about the health of their children, about the value of their greatest economic asset - their homes. They need and deserve help and information, but are not receiving any."

Brockovich, Weitz & Luxenberg Fighting for the Children:

Brockovich - best known for helping obtain a $333 million settlement from Pacific Gas & Electric on behalf of 600 residents of the town of Hinkley, California, over groundwater contaminated by a carcinogenic compound - has teamed up with Weitz & Luxenberg many times before, the firm said.

With the Porter Ranch gas leak, it is the children who are at greatest risk, Brockovich said.

"I've heard from many Porter Ranch parents who tell me their children have nose bleeds - even 1-year-olds with nose bleeds, it's tragic," she said.

"Children are being kept out of school because of the health consequences they're suffering," she continued. "Many of the families are being relocated, but to inadequate accommodations, sometimes a single room in a hotel, a family of four or more. It's the holiday time, when families should be in the comfort of their homes and celebrating with their friends and neighbors. This is a dreadful situation."

Brockovich said she and Weitz & Luxenberg intend to make sure at the Dec. 9 townhall meeting that the families' voices are heard.

Greenwald said she and Brockovich particularly want to hear from the parents about what's happening to them and their children from day to day.

"We want to hear about the problems they're having keeping their children in school, the problems that having their children home sick during the workweek is causing to the parents," Greenwald said.

"We want to hear about the acute physical reactions the children and their parents are having - the emotional toll this is taking on the families," she added.

Greenwald explained that lawsuits are the logical next step. "We plan to file on behalf of the individuals who are suffering from the gas leak," she said.

A lawsuit against the gas company would seek monetary damages for the families as well as an injunction to remedy some of the immediate issues residents are experiencing, Greenwald said.

The lawsuit would, among other remedies, also seek to provide ongoing health monitoring of all the residents of the area, Greenwald said.

FDA approves Android for Gmate SMART mobile diabetes monitoring system

NEW YORK, N.Y., Dec. 2, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Philosys, the maker of Gmate(R) products, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved clearance for the Gmate SMART Blood Glucose Monitoring System and App for Android(TM). The Gmate SMART is a small, portable blood glucose meter that plugs into the headphone jack of a smartphone and provides fast and accurate blood glucose test results. Together, the Gmate SMART Meter and App turn your smartphone into a mobile blood glucose monitoring system.

The FDA approval of Gmate SMART for Android is another important milestone for Philosys. The Gmate SMART App is now available for both iOS and Android users. This is the next critical step for Gmate mHealth technology.

The Gmate SMART Meter is the size of a quarter and connects to the headphone jack of the smartphone. The Gmate SMART App integrates diabetes management directly to the iOS and Android device, providing better diabetes management including goal setting, graphing and the ability to email or text your blood glucose test results directly to a family member or your healthcare provider. The Gmate SMART App stores an unlimited number of test results electronically with the date and time. A user can also add custom comments, actions or notes to each test result. The Gmate SMART is a faster, smarter way to manage and improve diabetes care. The Gmate SMART App is a free download on the App Store(TM) and Google Play(TM).

According to Mike Tickle, Senior VP of Sales, "As cloud technology grows, Philosys is working to create an App-to-Cloud secure connection in the next generation of updates." This will allow for improved communication and notifications between patients and physicians. The Gmate SMART App can provide appropriate automated responses as determined by the medical team. Adds Tickle, "Not only is Gmate SMART changing diabetes care by improving health and lifestyle, but it's also affordable. Most retail pharmacies are selling both the meter and box of 50 count strips at a low cost."
