Philadelphia, PA (Vocus) September 30, 2010

Concussion, once a dirty word in sports arenas, was recognized by physicians and medical personnel as a condition warranting caution and was considered an injury of the ?not-tough-enough? by players, coaches, and fans. Today, awareness of the seriousness of sports-related concussions is significant, with the NFL, among others, promoting player awareness, more cautious guidelines for return-to-play, and proper long-term treatment and study.

Dr. Mark Lovell, Director and Dr. Micky Collins, Assistant Director of the UPMC Sport Medicine Concussion Program are pioneers in this field. Lovell and Collins have been studying the impact of concussions on professional and recreational athletes for years. Considered leaders in the study of neurologic and cognitive effects of sports-related concussions, they developed IMPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) (http://www.impacttest.com), a computerized testing battery used to evaluate the severity of concussions in athletes. They are often the Doctors professional athletes choose to see following concussion.

Drs. Lovell and Collins were selected by the Council on Brain Injury(CoBI) (http://www.councilonbraininjury.org) to receive its annual award. CoBI , a non-profit organization promotes education, outreach, and research in the field of brain injury. Through its outreach to people with brain injuries, families, and prevention efforts, CoBI hopes this award will bring recognition to the many people working to promote safe sports play and appropriate management of concussion.

The award will be given formally on October 5th at White Manor Country Club in Malvern at a dinner following CoBI?s annual golf event, David’s Drive (http://www.davidsdrive.org). Lovell and Collins will be honored on November 4th, in their hometown of Pittsburgh during CoBI?s annual fundraising dinner, An Evening of High Stakes Opportunity at the Grand Concourse in Pittsburgh.

Steelers vs Ravens Live Online Here – http://www.usanfltv.com/

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens Match Preview :

Shaun Suisham has greatly improved the kicking game for Pittsburgh after taking over for Jeff Reed midway through the season. While Reed’s missed kicks in Pittsburgh’s week four loss to Baltimore were the difference in that game Suisham has converted 14 of15 (93%) of his attempts including 6 of 7 at the notoriously difficult Heinz Field.

Steelers, aided by three Baltimore turnovers in the span of one quarter, shut the door on the Ravens’ hopes of returning to the Super Bowl 10 years from their first appearance at the end of the 2000 NFL season. Four plays later in the rough-and-tumble matchup, Rashard Mendenhall scored from 2 yards out with 1:33 left to lift the Steelers to a 31-24 victory over the error-prone Ravens in Saturday’s AFC divisional playoff game.

Pittsburgh Steelers:

Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team currently belongs to the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Ben Roethlisberger is going to have a mediocre game against the Ravens defense. Roethlisberger hasn?t had many big games against the Ravens defense over the past couple of seasons.

Baltimore Ravens:

Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football franchise based in Baltimore, Maryland.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) May 23, 2005

Bill Johnson was never one to find the easiest way down the mountain. Bill Johnson was the fastest downhill skier in the world and took great pride in his technical abilities on the most difficult mountains. Bill Johnson gained as much notoriety for his brash and outrageous actions as he did for being the first skier from the United States to win a gold medal in downhill skiing. It took place at the 1984 Sarajevo Olympic Games. The United States had never won the gold and 1984 was a time when the United States continued to hold little hope for winning. Along came the bad boy of skiing Bill Johnson making headlines by stating that he didn’t know why the other racers had bothered showing up because they would be “racing for second place”.

ADDITIONAL INFO/BIOS:

Ike Taylor

Ike’s life is testimony that combining a dream with hard work pays off, in a big way. When Ike was a kid in New Orleans, he dreamed of playing in the NFL one day. Ike was so dedicated to his dream that he slept with a football under his pillow! Ike impressed the coaches with his speed, size and general athleticism. As a rookie, he contributed on special teams and as a kick returner and eventually worked his way into the secondary rotation. He is currently expected to start this season, as he did last, in his third year as a pro. Next year he becomes a free agent. Ike?s fourth-quarter interception helped secure a Super Bowl win for the Steelers earlier this year. His face will be seen in hip hop clothing ads next season.

Erin Ralph

Erin Ralph has been celebrated as one of the youngest entrepreneurs in the country. The success of her magazine LuxuryFashion combined with Erin?s unique, young and sexy personality quickly cast Erin into a celebrity (?the real life Carrie Bradshaw), socialite, TV personality and industry leader. In early 2004, Erin launched M.E. Inc. with Melky Jean. M.E. Inc.?s main focus is the production of ultra-exclusive, private events for A-list talent. Erin is also a partner in Emerge Brand Management, a company that specializes in brand and image architecture for today?s hottest personalities and athletes.

Erin can be seen hosting and corresponding on the WE: Women?s Entertainment hit series, ?Young, Sexy & ??, as well as on VH-1 and E!. She was recently introduced on ?America?s Next Top Model? as an ?industry it-girl?. Erin Ralph is setting an example for goal driven young females around the globe, quickly becoming known as ?The Ultimate Lifestyles Hostess?.

Melky Jean

Melky Jean, sister of legendary recording artist Wyclef Jean, has bought the idea of telling a story to modern day R&B. Her voice has been compared to the smoothness of Gladys Knight with the fire of Tina Turner. Melky’s vocals have graced countless soundtracks including the platinum selling sound tracks Love Jones, Two Can Play That Game, and The Hurricane. She is so much of the truth that she has worked with legends like Carlos Santana, did a duet with Tom Jones, and even wrote for Sinead O?Connor and Regina Belle. Her vibrant personality can be found on networks like UPN and WE, where she?s often called upon as a party and lifestyle expert. Melky is also co-founder of M.E. Inc., an exclusive event management company based in NYC.

KD Aubert

Often described as the African-American Angelina Jolie, KD Aubert is set to conquer Hollywood with her looks, talent, and sassy personality. She is currently in production of two movies and has already been seen in Soul Plane, Hollywood Homicide, and In The Mix. If her face is familiar beyond film, it?s probably because she?s has modeling endorsements with Noxzema, Urban Decay, Samsung, Pepsi, Fanta, and Bacardi, among others. Her television credits include appearances on ?Just Shoot Me?, ?Melrose Place?, ?Clueless?, and ?Buffy the Vampire Slayer?.

Full Throttle Entertainment

Founded in 2000, Full Throttle Entertainment focuses on delivering top quality music in today?s marketplace.

State College, PA (Vocus) October 17, 2009

Pittsburgh, Penn. Brett Keisel, starting defensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers, will shake hands with a Vermont man running barefoot across America on Tuesday when the two share lunch with residents of The Hub, a homeless relief program of Three Rivers Youth located in the Strip district.

Knudson is running barefoot across America to raise $ 100,000,000.00 to aid homeless youth in a project called RunTellmanRun. He left New York City on Sept. 9 and hopes to reach Los Angeles by mid-winter. He is currently approaching Pittsburgh on Rte. 130, averaging about 20 miles per day, and plans to run through downtown Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Keisel — no stranger to local and national charities, including a chair position with the Homeless Children’s Education Fund — and his wife, Sarah, will meet the residents of The Hub to better understand their situation. Knudson is there to meet residents and learn about The Hub’s recent loss of federal funding and to discuss remedies.

The 285-pound Keisel, owner of two Superbowl rings, and the 150-pound Knudson, owner of several successful internet marketing companies, plan to autograph a football that will later be auctioned to raise money for Three Rivers Youth, the organization that runs The Hub.

“I can’t thank Brett enough for agreeing to meet,” said Knudson while on break from his run in Greensburg yesterday. “He is obviously respected in Pittsburgh, and he’s going to be a great help in shining a floodlight on the problem of youth homelessness in this country.”

While running through State College on October 7, Knudson visited the Stepping Stone youth shelter and pledged the next $ 10,000 in donations to renovate its kitchens.

“When I heard this guy, Tellman, was running across the country for charity, I wanted to meet him,” said Keisel after practice today with the Steelers. ” And when I heard he was raising $ 100,000,000 for homeless kids, and running barefoot, I knew I had to meet him.”

Keisel added, “What an amazing feat for such an important cause. My wife and I are honored to be a part of it.”

Media are invited to attend the event and are asked to contact Luke Stafford, RunTellmanRun’s PR agent at 802-275-2749 for more info.
