This School Year Parents Can Treat Super Lice Fast Without a Prescription
MORRISVILLE, N.C., Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Students are heading back into the classroom, which means every family is at risk for the spread of lice, and super lice, in their homes. Vamousse Lice Treatment is clinically proven to kill lice and their eggs in a single treatment1, and is effective against super lice that have become resistant to two major pesticides – permethrin and pyrethroids. The treatment is available over-the-counter (OTC) without a prescription or physician’s visit, so parents can begin to control lice immediately.
Lori Haapala, RN, BSN, and a school nurse with Kanawha County Schools, helps families with lice infestations. “When a child has contracted head lice at school, the real issue is preventing the spread of it at home amongst siblings and other family members,” said Haapala. “Head lice can be an extremely daunting and frustrating experience for both the parent and child. With vigilance, problems can be detected early-on, diminishing the likelihood of it spreading to the rest of the family and allowing the situation to be resolved faster.”
Unfortunately, lice are an irritating reality of childhood. The CDC estimates as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States and studies have shown that it’s most common among preschool and school-aged children.2 Vamousse Lice Treatment enables parents to end an infestation fast with ingredients they can feel good about. Kids will appreciate it too – the mousse is a fun component and smells good. The treatment resolves the situation with the first application – “once and done” and kids are back to focusing on learning, not dealing with the itchy effects of head lice.
“Parents have a treatment option that not only is safe and affordable, but goes to work on both lice and eggs during the same application – providing a quick, reliable experience,” said Jason Schmidt, an entomologist and Director of Product Development for TyraTech, makers of Vamousse. “Vamousse Lice Treatment can help relieve the stress parents often feel when their child is suffering from head lice.”
Vamousse Lice Treatment represents a new generation of head lice solutions. It works differently than traditional OTC products, as the active ingredient, natrum muriaticum, dehydrates the lice without using a pesticide.
To empower parents to remain vigilant with care, beyond conducting daily head checks, Vamousse offers a gentle, non-toxic daily shampoo – Vamousse Lice Defense – that kills lice3 and is recommended for use during high-risk periods, and for 10 to 14 days after potential exposure. Like all Vamousse lice products, Lice Defense is safe enough for use by the entire family, including children as young as two.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The San Francisco Deltas announced to fans this morning that Marc Dos Santos will be the club’s first head coach. Dos Santos brings over a decade of coaching experience to the Deltas, having developed players at both the professional and amateur levels in the US, Canada, Brazil, Portugal and Mozambique.

“Marc’s track record of success and experience developing players with a winning mentality is initially what motivated us to reach out to him,” CEO of SF Deltas, Brian Andrés Helmick said. “However, after spending time with him and his wife Marie, it became abundantly clear that his values overlap perfectly with ours. He is a risk taker and is open to innovation; he values honesty and transparency; and despite all of his success, he has remained truly humble and kind. We feel incredibly fortunate to welcome Marc and his family to San Francisco.”
Dos Santos joins the Deltas from his head coaching role at the Swope Park Rangers of Kansas City. Dos Santos formerly served as head coach for the Ottawa Fury’s inaugural season in 2014 and led them to the Championship Final in 2015 where he was named Coach of the Year.
“I am honored to be named the head coach of the Deltas,” said Marc Dos Santos. “I’ve been in clubs all over the world and I believe this is different. I believe we’re going to be able to bring players that want to be part of the city, part of the organization. I believe the team that is behind this has a new way of thinking, so this makes me believe big time that this is going to be a successful story.”
Dos Santos began his career in Portugal and Mozambique. In 2007, he was hired by his hometown team, the Montreal Impact, to lead the club’s reserve team, Trois-Rivieres Attak FC. Under his leadership, the team won the 2007 Open Canada Cup and became 2008 CSL National Division champions, which led to him to being named the Impact’s assistant coach and then their head coach. With Dos Santos, the Montreal Impact won the Canadian Championship in 2008, reached the Quarterfinals in the 2008-09 CONCACAF Champions League, and won the USL First Division title in 2009. His appetite for new challenges led him to move to Brazil in 2012 and coach FC Primeira Camisa (U-20’s) and SE Palmeiras (U-15’s), culminating with a Copa do Brasil U-15 championship and then a head coaching position with Desportivo Brasil. He then returned to Canada in 2013 as the head coach of the Ottawa Fury.
A dual citizen of Canada and Portugal, Dos Santos holds a UEFA “A” coaching license and is fluent in four languages (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese). He and his wife Marie have three children.
Dos Santos will remain with the Rangers through the end of the season. He will officially join the Deltas in October. The SF Deltas expect to hold tryouts in November. The first pre-season game will take place in February 2017 against the San Jose Earthquakes.

Rafael Amaya (El Señor de los Cielos) is without a doubt one of the best-known actors in television today, with a career that includes starring roles in successful TELEMUNDO original productions, theater, English and Spanish-language movies, and European television series. The leading man, who has also served as co-host of “The Billboard Mexican Music Awards,” “The Billboard Latin Music Awards,” and the first-ever broadcast of “Premios Tu Mundo,” starred earlier this year in the fourth season of the Super Series “El Señor de los Cielos”. The Mexican actor achieved crossover success in the Hallmark TV film “Meddling Mom,” the third-highest audience-rated production in the network’s history. Rafael has also diversified beyond acting, producing his first movie, “Paco & Santo vs. América” in 2009 and recently launching his first clothing line, Rafael Amaya Western Style.
Internationally-acclaimed Mexican star Aracely Arámbula has an artistic career that spans more than 15 years as an actress, host and singer. She has starred in dozens of highly-rated novelas in Mexico and around the world, such as “Acapulco, Cuerpo y Alma” “Cañaveral de Pasiones” “Pueblo Chico Infierno Grande” “El Alma no tiene Color” and “Soñadoras.” She had her first leading antagonist role on “Rencor Apasionado” in 1998 and two years later she played her first leading role in “Abrázame muy Fuerte”. This project, where she also interpreted the theme song “Niña y mujer” (Girl and Woman), consolidated her as an actress and singer. Following this role, which led her to a TV y Novelas Award nomination, Arámbula launched her first album “Solo Tuya” in 2002, ranking on the Billboard Latin Music Albums chart. In 2005, after her participation in “Las Vías del Amor,” where she also interpreted one of the theme songs, Arámbula launched her second album “Sexy,” produced by Abraham Quintanilla III. Arámbula will soon star in TELEMUNDO’s upcoming “La Doña” in the role of Altagracia, an elegant, beautiful and successful woman who runs a construction empire, and whose series of major traumas early in life made her the implacable “Doña” she is today.
The lovely and talented actress Fernanda Castillo returned to TELEMUNDO’s screen in the fourth season of Super Series “El Señor de los Cielos” in the role of Mónica Robles. Before joining the network, Fernanda appeared in a number of successful television productions in her native Mexico and the United States, including “Clap,” “La Fea Más Bella,” “Destilando Amor,” “Teresa” and “Amor Bravio.” Fernanda’s artistic career also includes roles in theater in such plays as “Wake Up Woman” “Cabaret,” “Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar” and “Los Monólogos de la Vagina.” On the big screen she has appeared in “Déficit” and “Corazón Marchito” and will soon star in “No Manches Friday” which hits theaters on Friday, Sept. 2.
TV Host, actor, and director David Chocarro began his artistic career in his native Argentina, participating in novelas like “Floricienta,” “Angels,” “MyLove,” “Sos Mi Vida,” and “Mal Parida” and several plays including “Casi un Cuento” and “Bichitos.” His role in “Los Exitosos Pérez” propelled him to international audiences. Chocarro joined TELEMUNDO in 2012 with a leading role in “El Rostro de La Venganza.” He then starred in “En Otra Piel,” and was a participant in the reality show series “Top Chef Estrellas, where he beat all other contestants to raise money for the foundation of SOS villages in Honduras. As a director he has overseen many plays and short films. He returns to TELEMUNDO with a leading role in “La Doña,” starring as Saul, an attorney who defends the victims of gender violence and all young women fighting for a way out of unemployment, poverty and overpopulation.
Carlos Ponce, who will also perform at the event, is an internationally recognized Puerto Rican actor, singer-songwriter and host. He got his first role on TELEMUNDO’s soap opera “Guadalupe,” and his first leading role in the Mexican telenovela “Sentimientos Ajenos,” where he also sang the theme song. His self-titled debut album, “Carlos Ponce,” held the #1 spot for nine weeks in the Latin Billboard charts. In the “Billboard Hot Latin Tracks,” Carlos reached # 1 with “Rezo” and “Decir Adios.” He crossed over with guest starring roles on “Beverly Hills 90210,” “7th Heaven” and “Once and Again.” Most recently, he was on Nickelodeon’s “Hollywood Heights” and Eva Longoria’s “Telenovela,” and did voices for “FREE BIRDS” and “RIO.” He also joined forces with Disney in “The Pirate Fairy” and with ABC in the primetime hit comedy “Cristela”. For several years he co-hosted the “Miss Universe” pageant on TELEMUNDO, and in 2006, he hosted the show for NBC. Carlos also hosted the “Billboard Latin Music Awards” on multiple occasions. Through the years he has played the leading role in telenovelas like “Dame Chocolate,” “Perro Amor,” and “Santa Diabla.” This year he returned to Spanish-language television and music in TELEMUNDO’s romantic comedy “Silvana Sin Lana,” playing the leading role and performing the theme song titled “Que Bonito Es Lo Bonito” (How pretty is pretty) written by him and Joel Someillán.
Actress, model, television presenter and businesswoman are roles Maritza Rodriguez enthusiastically plays in her daily life. She is currently at the peak of her popularity thanks to her most recent successes in TELEMUNDO’s “El Señor de los Cielos”, “Marido de Alquiler” and “La Casa de al Lado.” Currently, she plays the role of Silvana “Chivis” in TELEMUNDO’s new romantic comedy “Silvana Sin Lana“. Maritza began her career in Colombia where she stood out as a successful model, a gifted entrepreneur and a versatile actress. There she participated in beauty contests such as “Miss World Colombia” and “Miss Latin America.” In Colombia, Maritza owns the “Casting Models” modeling agency and the “En Escena” acting school.

Infectious Disease Expert Urges Travelers To Put Risk Of Zika In Perspective
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Penn Global Medicine, Medical Director and physician Dr. Stephen J. Gluckman called on travelers to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines while maintaining perspective on the risk of Zika for those who are not pregnant. His advice supports the Puerto Rico Tourism Company’s (PRTC) ongoing efforts to educate visitors about Zika. Dr. Gluckman has been in the practice of both General Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases for more than 45 years, and is the recipient of more than 20 teaching awards.

Dr. Gluckman, who has provided care and taught in many developing countries in a number of different capacities, cautioned against blowing things out of proportion for those not pregnant or of child-bearing age. “We need to educate travelers about Zika and not fuel speculation about the disease. The more hype about Zika, the more the public will feel angst over the virus. Except for pregnant women or those trying to conceive, Zika is not dangerous for most people and there should be little worry in the general population.”
Dr. Gluckman continued: “As a whole, the disease itself is pretty mild. In fact, 80 percent of those who contract Zika have no symptoms. Typically, it causes five-to-seven days of a mild illness that includes fever, rash, joint pain and red eyes.” He called on tourists to take proper precautions when traveling to Puerto Rico. “If travelers follow the CDC guidelines, apply bug spray with DEET, wear proper clothing and take other common-sense precautions, there’s little reason to be alarmed.”
PRTC welcomed Dr. Gluckman’s assessment, which echoes the advice of leading epidemiologist Dr. D.A. Henderson, MD, MPH, who recently called for common sense precautions as well as avoiding over-reaction and hype about Zika. “Puerto Rico has implemented a comprehensive program to help protect its nearly four million residents and five million annual visitors,” said PRTC Executive Director Ingrid I. Rivera Rocafort. “By raising awareness of the educated opinions of medical experts like Dr. Gluckman, we are working to inform travelers of the facts versus the fear about Zika, so they can have a worry-free experience when visiting Puerto Rico.”
In addition, the PRTC is working closely with the CDC and the local Department of Public Health to ensure visitors are informed about Zika in Puerto Rico. The PRTC and the Puerto Rico Hotel & Tourism Association (PRHTA) are taking every precaution possible to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds at hotels and resorts, and educate visitors about preventing mosquito bites.

American Lung Association in California’s Doctors for Climate Health Campaign says Climate Change is Worsening California’s Air Quality Crisis
SACRAMENTO, California, Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Dozens of doctors from around California have joined forces to declare that our state’s air quality is in critical condition and action must be taken to address climate change and air pollution to reduce impacts on public health.
Photo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160815/398324
This week, the Doctors for Climate Health Campaign, organized by the American Lung Association in California, launched an online ad campaign to call attention to the need for comprehensive climate change policies in California.
“California has some of the worst air quality in the country with nearly 80 percent of our citizens living with unhealthy air pollution,” said Olivia Diaz-Lapham, President and CEO of the American Lung Association in California. “The Doctors for Climate Health Campaign calls attention to the connections between climate change and air pollution and the need for strong policies to reduce greenhouse gases and super pollutants.”
Super pollutants, or short-lived carbon climate pollutants, include black carbon from diesel engines and wood smoke, and methane from landfills and dairies. Reducing these emissions is critical to improving our air quality and lung health. While super pollutants stay in the atmosphere for a relatively short time, their damage can be hundreds of thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide emissions.
The Doctors for Climate Health ads feature Dr. Felix Aguilar, a family practice physician who regularly administers breathing treatments to his patients in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles region has the worst ozone pollution in the country and ranks fourth nationwide for particle pollution. Rising temperatures, droughts, wildfires and other extreme events due to climate change are further damaging our air quality and health.
“As doctors, we know that clean air is essential for lung health” said Dr. Aguilar. “We need to focus on cleaning up our air so that all Californians can breathe easier, especially those with asthma, COPD and other lung and heart illnesses.”
Reducing super pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions would save California billions of dollars in health care costs, reduce the number of emergency room and hospital visits, lower asthma rates, and most importantly save thousands of lives every year.
The Doctors for Climate Health ads will run in several online publications including the Sacramento Bee and Los Angeles Times.

The American Lung Association in California is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through research, education and advocacy. The Lung Association is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer, to improve the air we breathe, to reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families, and to eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases.

Beneful® Gives Dogs & Their Owners Even More To Love With New Dry Dog Food Recipes
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — After listening to dog owners and working with its team of pet nutritionists, Beneful® is unveiling new recipes across its dry dog food line, offering real meat as the first ingredient in the chicken and beef varieties and eliminating added sugar across the board. The changes – an evolution more than two years in the making – give dogs more of what their owners are looking for in their dog’s food without compromising nutrition or sacrificing the delicious taste or variety of textures that keeps millions of Beneful dogs running back to the bowl day after day.
“Exceeding the expectations of dog owners and their furry friends will always be the top priority for the Beneful team, and we’ve heard loud and clear what consumers love about Beneful and how we can make it better,” said Brent Gleckler, Beneful brand director and owner of Louie the Bolognese. “Our new dry food recipes are a reflection of the feedback we’ve gotten, and they’ve met the high standards of not only our nutritionists, but our own dogs who eat Beneful every day.”
In addition to making real meat the number one ingredient in its beef and chicken varieties, removing added sugar, and making other changes to simplify ingredient lists and address dog owner desires, the new Beneful dry dog food recipes feature 100 percent complete and balanced nutrition for each life stage that includes:
- 22 grams or more of protein per cup;
- 23 essential vitamins and minerals to support overall health; and,
- Accents of real vegetables and fruits, like spinach, peas, carrots and apples.
The new Beneful dry dog foods will be available nationwide by the end of August at the same price point as the previous recipes, so consumers get more real meat without paying more for the food their dog will love. Most varieties are widely available in 3.5 lb., 6.3 lb., 13 lb., 15.5 lb., 31.1 lb., 40 lb., and 44 lb. bags.
Also beginning this month, Beneful is featuring real dog owners and their dogs in its national advertising campaign to talk about the new dry food formulas. To join the conversation, connect with Beneful on Facebook via Facebook.com/Beneful, or @Beneful on Twitter and Instagram.
Transitioning To the New Dog Food Recipes
Because dogs can be sensitive to change, especially when it comes to food, even dog owners who currently feed their dog Beneful will want to gradually transition to the new Beneful recipes over the course of 7-10 days as they would for any new type of food by gradually adding more of the new food and less of the old food into the bowl. Beneful offers some helpful dog feeding tips and tricks on Beneful.com to help dog owners make the transition smoothly.
The Beneful Guarantee
Dog owners have plenty of choices for what to feed their best buddies, and the Beneful team stands behind the quality of its foods with a money-back guarantee. If for any reason a dog owner isn’t completely satisfied with the new recipes, Beneful will issue a full refund. Visit Beneful.com/guarantee for full details on the money-back guarantee.
Visit Beneful.com to learn more about Beneful’s variety of wet and dry dog foods and treats, and the Beneful team’s commitment to improving dog-loving communities across the country through the Beneful Dream Dog Park Project.
