Rich, colorful sandals, classic Mary Janes and several new machine washable athletic styles have been added.

The Grip ‘n’ Go^™ collection will retail for $39 - $45, and is available for children 9 months to 3 years in age.

Immunet Communities Exorcize Zombies, Bots and Worms Haunting Family PCs

Citing strength in numbers, Immunet’s Collective Immunity technology enables friends and neighbors to protect one another from frightening hacker tricks

PALO ALTO, CA – October 25, 2010 – In unprecedented numbers, families, friends and neighbors are uniting to exorcize all manner of malicious code — zombies, botnets, worms, viruses, Trojans, spyware and keyloggers — seeking to haunt their PCs by levering Immunet’s Collective Immunity™ technology. Immunet, the developer of next-generation security and Cloud AntiVirus technologies, effectively shuts the door in the face of malevolent cyber tricksters looking to wreak havoc on unsuspecting home computers with its Immunet Protect AntiVirus software, the industry’s only free cloud-based antivirus software with integrated community protection.

Immunet’s Collective Immunity™ technology offers members a network protection effect that keeps their personal PCs and the computers of their friends and family safe online. Each time a virus is blocked on one computer in the Immunet Community ALL other computers are instantly protected from the same virus, increasing the speed and level of virus protection with each new member. This collaborative approach uses “strength in numbers” that grows smarter with each new community member.

“Just like there is strength and safety in numbers when children go Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood together, there’s strength in numbers when it comes to keeping your PC safe,” said Immunet Founder and CEO Oliver Friedrichs, a former Symantec and McAfee security veteran and entrepreneur. “Immunet Protect is the anti-viral potion to protect individuals’ PCs and their social network against all manner of cyber threats in real-time.”

Unlike traditional antivirus products, which reside on PC hard drives and take between one and 14 days to gather, analyze and deliver updates—often after the threat has mutated, Immunet identifies viruses in real-time and continually delivers antivirus protection via an Internet connection to its community of Immunet Protect users. Immunet Protect is up to 35 times lighter than traditional antivirus solutions, which take up between 100 and 350 megabytes of disk space and causes performance slowdowns. In contrast, Immunet Protect uses only 10 megabytes of space, to keep PCs running at optimal speeds.

Since its debut last year nearly 600,000 people have downloaded Immunet Protect Free in over 192 countries, including Vatican City, to protect their Microsoft® Windows® desktop PCs. Extremely lightweight (up to 35 times smaller than competing products), fast and compatible with other market leading security software, Immunet Protect 2.0 received a 4.5 star rating from CNET.

Super Healthy Lunch Food for Kids

Moms everywhere are starting to plan healthy lunches to pack their kids and this year, one brain boosting food is making a comeback – seaweed! The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article about the nutritional benefits of seaweed and how parents can get their kids to eat seaweed. And last Friday, NBC Nightly News with Chuck Scarborough had nutritionist Mary Gocke from the Center for Health and Healing in New York on his show, who was quoted in the WSJ article, as a guest to talk about why she recommends seaweed for mothers and children (online video here and embed link here)… Chuck even tried seaweed himself, live on air!

Did you know that seaweed contains tons of iodine and that iodine is key to growth in children? Or that a lack of iodine will affect brain development in a fetus? Seaweed can be found in groceries stores nationwide (with Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s being especially seaweed friendly).

Below are Mary’s top 5 reasons for why seaweed is a super healthy food for both adults and children and some recipe suggestions for fun, unique ways to incorporate seaweed in your kid’s diet (after all, getting them to eat it is probably the most important/hardest part!).

Mary Gocke from the Continuum Center for Health and Healing in New York, offers these reasons for why sea vegetables such as seaweed make for the perfect, healthy food:

1. Seaweed is loaded with minerals – calcium, iodine, potassium, iron, sodium.

2. Children benefit from seaweed because of its high iodine content - iodine makes up thyroid hormones which are needed for growth and development.

3. Pregnant and nursing moms should eat seaweed – iodine is necessary for brain development in fetuses and newborns.

4. Seaweed is popular in many coastal countries – not just Asia but also South America and has been for centuries.

5. Seaweed has cancer-protective plant compounds – lignan and fucans.

(From top right corner, clockwise: Nori Wrap, Nori strips, Kombu)

You might not think your kids will be very interested in seaweed, but after trying these recipes below, you just might change the whole family’s mind…

• · Nori Omelette – You don’t have even have to wait until lunch to feed your kids a brain boost meal, start with a nori omelette breakfast! Key ingredients: eggs, carrots, nori and onion. (v) (gf) (Nori seaweed comes pre-packaged and ready to eat in thin sheets and is commonly found in grocery stores nationwide)

• · Seaweed Pizza – who says pizza is unhealthy? Be creative with a nori pizza! Key ingredients: Whole wheat pizza crust with your choice of seafood, mozzarella cheese and sprinkled nori

• · Nori Wraps – A quick snack for your kids during recess. Key ingredients: Nori, hummus, carrot stick and turkey and lettuce (gf)

• · N.A.T. (Nori, Avocado, Tomato) – BLT’s healthy cousin with the same satisfying saltiness and crunch. Key ingredients: multi-grain bread with tomato, avocado, nori, and low-fat mayonnaise (v)

• · Seaweed Soba – Children love spaghetti and meatballs, and they’ll love cold seaweed soba too (they can even eat with it with their fingers)! Key ingredients: cha soba, shredded nori and spring onion, make a sauce to accompany with soy sauce, ginger, and shitake mushrooms (v)

Back to School Sunscreen Tips

Sunscreen Tips for Kids Going Back To School (how to protect them when you’re not with them):

Summer vacation may be over, but that doesn’t mean kids will be out of the sun. Data suggests that the majority of sun exposure in a person’s like occurs before the age of 18. So… how can you be sure to protect your children when they are back at school and out of your sight? Kavita Mariwalla, MD, Director of Mohs and Dermatologic Surgery at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt and Beth Israel Medical Centers, suggests following these simple rules:

- If your children play sports, pack water-proof spray-on sunscreen in their backpack. Make sure you tell them to spray it on while getting ready for practice or the big game (30 minutes before sun expDear Ethel Olleres,osure). The spray version is easy to apply and they don't have to feel shy about asking a team mate to help them out.

- Consider washing your child's practice clothes and uniforms with Rit Sunguard. Available on-line and in most grocery stores, the easy to use powder can be washed in with clothes in the laundry and confers added SPF to t-shirts, shorts and socks - good for multiple washes.

- Buy empty lotion bottles (travel size) and fill them with sunscreen to pack in your child's backpack. That way it is easy to transport and easy for you to monitor their use.

- Don't forget sunglasses. Beyond a fashion accessory, sunglasses protect your child's eyes from harmful UV rays

- Encourage wearing a hat. Though most children are resistant to wearing a broad-brimmed hat, baseball caps are better than nothing. Just remind your child to put sunscreen on their ears and the back of their neck!

- If your child is in tournaments lasting the whole day in the fall, designate a "sunscreen parent." Just like the "snack parent" who provides nourishment to keep the kids on the field, the "sunscreen parent" can keep them safe and free from sunburns. Making this part of the sport environment creates healthy habits early on.

What is the data to support the importance of sunscreen use?

Data shows that basal cell skin cancer is rising in people under the age of 40. In addition, a study done in 2000 and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that children who wore sunscreen consistently developed fewer moles than those who did not. The same study showed that sunscreen use is even more important for children with freckles because it decreased the number of nevi or moles they acquired by up to 40%. An epidemiologic study completed in 2009 showed that male children are at higher risk than female and additional risk factors for developing moles include spending 5 - 6 hours /weekly/ between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm outdoors. That's not a lot of time considering most sports practrice at least 1 - 2 hours a day. And don't forget those soccer tournaments!

So, if your child is playing sports when school gets back in session, remember these tips and keep them protected even when they are not under your watch.

Back to School Safety: “Elle’s Law”

Governor Paterson Signs “Elle’s Law”

Signing comes less than two months after bill, sponsored by State Senator Dilan and Assemblyman Kellner, was unanimously passed by the NYS Legislature;

“Elle’s Law” will strengthen penalties for injuring pedestrians while driving recklessly; law named for three-year-old Elle, who was struck by car driving wrong way on Manhattan street to get a parking spot

ALBANY, NEW YORK (AUGUST 16) – Governor David Paterson has signed “Elle’s Law,” which will strengthen state motor vehicle laws by hiking penalties for similar driving violations, helping to ensure pedestrian safety – and acting as a deterrent for reckless drivers. The signing came less than two months after the New York State Legislature unanimously passed bills sponsored by Assembly Member Micah Z. Kellner (D-Manhattan) and State Senator Martin Malavé Dilan (D-Brooklyn).

“Elle’s Law” is named after young Elle, who was struck down by a motorist driving backwards down a Manhattan street – just to get a parking spot. Elle continues to recover from massive head trauma and significant brain damage; meanwhile, the driver was given a traffic summons, and nothing more. “Elle’s Law” will result in any driver injuring a pedestrian while driving recklessly having his or her license suspended for up to a year. (Current laws are already very strict for reckless driving either under the influence or impaired by alcohol.)

“I want to thank Governor Paterson for signing this important piece of legislation into law, and extend our gratitude to Speaker Sheldon Silver, Senator Dilan, Assembly Member Kellner and the members of the State Legislature for shepherding ‘Elle’s Law’ through the process,” said Heather Vandenberghe, the mother of Elle. “The main goal of ‘Elle’s Law’ has always been to protect pedestrians of all ages across New York State from suffering the same fate as my daughter. Elle’s Law will serve as a strong deterrent to motorists who might consider breaking traffic laws, and as a result will make our streets safer.”

“I’m proud to have co-sponsored this piece of legislation, which will protect pedestrians and drivers alike,” said State Senator Dilan, who also serves as Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee. “Elle’s Law sends a clear message that blatant disregard for traffic regulations can have devastating consequences.”

"Driving is a privilege, not a right," said Assembly Member Micah Z. Kellner. "Elle's tragedy exposed a huge loophole in the law -- since there is no criminal penalty for reckless drivers who injure pedestrians unless they are intoxicated, we needed to ensure that there was some way to get dangerous drivers off the road. That's why I introduced Elle's Law. By signing Elle's Law the Governor turned this little girl's tragedy into a legacy: making it safer for every New Yorker to cross the street."

On September 23, 2009, 3-year old Elle Vandenberghe was struck by a motorist while she was on her way to school. The driver was in his SUV going south on York Avenue in Manhattan when, according to witnesses, he threw his car in reverse to get to a parking spot on East 82^nd Street. The driver backed through a crosswalk – against a red light – and struck Elle, causing major head trauma. While Elle lay in a coma for two weeks – she suffered a stroke and lost 2/3rds of the left side of her brain – the driver got off with a traffic infraction, paying a small fine and facing no jail time. Elle remains in physical therapy to this day.

According to 2008 data from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, there were more than 15,000 pedestrian accidents statewide, with more than 97% resulting in physical injuries.
