The company's website includes the most extensive online directory of LASIK surgeons in North America. [PRWeb Jul 6, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/7/prweb407096.htm Wed, 5 Jul 2006 15:02:13 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com www.lasiksurgerynews.com, offers consumers current, accurate and easy-to-understand information about LASIK laser vision correction and offers refractive surgeons an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of their online marketing efforts. "Research suggests that up to 80% of individuals interested in refractive surgery consult the Internet about LASIK before seeking the advice of an eye doctor," says Gary Heiting, O.D., president and senior editor of LASIK Surgery News. "But currently, there's no site online that is dedicated exclusively to LASIK and offers consumers current, authoritative, and easy-to-understand content about LASIK of sufficient depth to help them make a truly well-informed decision about having LASIK surgery." LASIK Surgery News changes that, according to the company. The new website reviews the latest news and clinical information about LASIK published in refractive surgery journals and other publications for eyecare professionals and reports on the topics of greatest interest to the public in consumer-friendly articles at LASIK Surgery News. To provide the most timely LASIK content available on the Web, LASIK Surgery News is updated several times a week. The second mission of LASIK Surgery News is to grow the LASIK market and bring more patients to refractive surgeons. "More doctors are entering the refractive surgery market every year, but the number of LASIK procedures performed in the U.S. has remained relatively flat since 2003. We believe that through our responsible consumer education efforts, LASIK Surgery News can allay the fears many people have about refractive surgery and increase the number of motivated, well-informed LASIK candidates." LASIK Surgery News (LSN) offers the most extensive online directory of LASIK surgeons in North America, according to the company. In LSN's Doctor Locator section, consumers in the U.S. and Canada can gain direct access to the websites of LASIK surgeons and laser vision centers in their area to help them decide where to go for a pre-operative consultation and LASIK surgery. "Our Doctor Locator currently contains information on over 900 laser vision centers in the U.S. and Canada, and we're adding more listings every month," says Dr. Heiting. Basic listings in LSN's Doctor Locator are free to doctors and include the laser center's name and address. For an annual fee, surgeons and laser centers can purchase a premium listing that includes more information about their practice, including the name of all LASIK surgeons at the center, information about the type(s) of LASIK offered, contact phone numbers, interactive maps and driving directions to their location(s), and a direct link to their website. "Many LASIK doctors and surgical centers have made a significant investment in creating an excellent website for their practice--they're just not getting enough traffic to their site," says Dr. Heiting. "A paid listing in LSN's Doctor Locator is a very cost-effective way for LASIK doctors and surgical centers to improve their online marketing efforts and attract new patients." LASIK Surgery News also offers a free e-mail newsletter for consumers, primary eyecare providers and other news media who want to keep up-to-date on the latest news and research about LASIK and other forms of refractive surgery. Officially launched on July 6, 2006, LASIK Surgery News is intended for consumers, LASIK...

"Lens on Syria" showcases over 30 Syrian feature films, documentaries and shorts, many subtitled in English and screening for the first time in the US. [PRWeb May 1, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb379497.htm Mon, 1 May 2006 13:50:05 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com http://www.arteeast.org. "Rasha Salti and ArteEast did a commendable job of bringing attention to a fascinating film culture in Syria. The care with which they curated this festival reflects their pleasure in making contemporary Middle Eastern culture available to Westerners who would have no other access to these societies." -- Lawrence Wright, The New Yorker Often described as Arab cinema's "best kept secret", ArteEast's Syrian cinema series provides an unprecedented opportunity for audiences in New York to discover a politically timely and relevant program, ranging from nonfiction films and comedies to political dramas and historical epics, all representative of one of the richest -- albeit lesser-known -- of world cinemas. One of the most compelling feats of Syrian filmmakers has been their ability to craft an unabashedly independent voice despite the fact that their films are produced by the state, a stellar achievement in Arab cinema. Films do not shy away from making poignant and social and political critique, far removed from dogma and didactism. Syrian filmmakers have not only engaged with issues pertinent to Syria, they have also been profoundly engaged with the tragedy of Palestine. Premiering in the US in this program is Mohammad Malas' poignant documentary "The Dream", filmed in the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in Lebanon just months before the notorious massacres took place. It is a unique document that has finally become available after digital remastering and subtitling. Other films centered on the Arab-Israeli conflict include Tewfik Saleh's classic "The Dupes", Mohammad Malas' "The Night" and Omar Amiralay's "A Plate of Sardines-Or The First Time I Heard of Israel." The program includes old cinematic gems that have been digitally remastered and subtitled in English specifically for this program, such as Omar Amiralay's 1974 documentary "Everyday Life in a Syrian Village" (which he co-authored with late Syrian playwright Sa'adallah Wannus), and his 1977 documentary, "The Chickens" that has received critical acclaim worldwide. Other digitally remastered films that are made available for the first time in North America is Oussama Mohammad's first short fiction film, "Step by Step." One of the highlights of "Lens on Syria" is a long-overdue tribute to master documentary filmmaker Omar Amiralay. Winner of numerous international awards for his films, Amiralay was the subject of a special homage at this year's Cinema du Reel Festival in Paris....
