1. HEALTH: YOGA FOR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION TREATMENT. BO FORBES, Psy.D.,RYT, is a Boston-based clinical psychologist and founder of the CENTER FOR INTEGRATIVE YOGA THERAPEUTICS: "Recent studies have shown that yoga can, in some cases, be more effective than prescription medicines in treating anxiety, insomnia and depression, without the potentially dangerous side effects. Integrative yoga therapeutics brings yoga to the forefront of mind- body medicine. Its ability to fine-tune the nervous system makes it particularly effective in treating depression and other disorders." Forbes can explain and demonstrate how yoga helps to treat these illnesses.

2. HEALTH: HORMONES' AFFECT ON IMMUNE SYSTEM. DAVID AND STEPHANIE TIPPIE, directors of the ANTI-AGING CLINIC ASSOCIATION, INC., in Florida: "There is growing evidence suggesting that hormones, including sex hormones, can affect and be affected by the immune system. For example, both estrogen and progesterone, two important female sex hormones, may suppress some immune activity. During pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels are very high, which may help explain why pregnant women with MS usually have less disease activity. Pregnant women with MS provide more evidence that physiological changes in the body, including PMS symptoms, can be altered by balancing hormones." Web site: http://www.livelonger123.com/ (6/15/07)

3. LITERATURE: 'NANCY DREW:' LITERARY AND POP CULTURE FIGURE. DR. JOAN ZALESKI, Department of Literacy chair at HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY, is available for interviews regarding the history of heroine Nancy Drew, and why she has been an important literary and pop culture figure, in time for the release of the film "Nancy Drew," on June 15: "'Nancy Drew,' and other similar series, such as 'The Hardy Boys' and 'Bobbsey Twins,' were popular with young readers, but, initially, not with scholars or librarians. Critics viewed these books, including the 'Nancy Drew' series, as containing little literary value and being of poor quality. Despite the criticisms, 'Nancy Drew' became part of the 'underground' culture of children's literature, being read by scores of young girls who were attracted to her adventures, her wholesome looks and her privileged way of life. The plots were page-turners and engaged the young reader." News Contact: Ginny Ehrlich-Greenberg, prpgse@hofstra.edu Phone: +1- 516-463-6819 (6/15/07)
