Young Man, Disabled by Cerebral Palsy, Trains Retired Racing Greyhounds for Pet Therapy
Skip Potter volunteers for Project Racing Home Greyhound Adoptions. Skip has set three goals to reach in his lifetime: Become a licensed trainer, have his own farm, and have his own race kennel that supports the Race for Adoption program. Many people doubt that Skip can accomplish these goals from a wheelchair, but, he just grins and tells people to "Just Believe."
(PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -- Skip Potter has Cerebral Palsy. He has use of only one hand, and uses an electric wheelchair for mobility. Skip came to Project Racing Home (PRH) in October of 2003. He volunteers two days per week at the kennel. Through the guidance and tutelage of Kennel Director, Kimberly Jewell, Skip has learned to be an advocate for the NGA Greyhound,. His motto “Just Believe,” and his relationship with a PRH Greyhound named Justin, has gained national recognition for encouraging adoption groups to allow disabled people to work with Greyhounds. Skip has a red-fawn Greyhound puppy, named Taylor.
Skip has used his talent and love for the Greyhounds to train three Project Racing Home Greyhounds to be therapy dogs. Miz Mandy, mother of Race for Adoption’s Mandy’s Choo Choo, developed a very special bond with Skip. Mandy is now living in Palm Beach, FL, and plans to continue her work as a therapy dog, with her new owner. HR’s Satin and “Larry the Lurcher” were recovered during the 2005 tragedy in Orange County, North Carolina. After Skip worked with her, Satin was adopted by someone who uses a wheelchair. Larry is currently available for adoption, from Project Racing Home, and has done pet therapy at many local nursing homes. People just love to meet Larry, and Larry loves to do pet therapy. Skip is very proud of his part in nursing the Orange County dogs back to being healthy and happy again.

Skip also loves to help people plan their vacations. He loves Disney theme parks. To see how Skip uses his travel planning talents to help his friends, the Greyhounds, please visit: www.vacationsincyberspace.com

Mesothelioma Search Engine to Consolidate Medical and Legal Information
New lung cancer search engine provides information on medical and legal web sites for those researching this asbestos-caused killer cancer
Minneapolis, MN, February 25, 2006 --(PR.COM)-- On the one-year anniversary of the launch of their Vioxx Search Engine, Nielsen Technical Services today announced the launch of their Mesothelioma Search Engine.
Niche search engines or vertical search engines have increased in popularity, but the time and expense of creating and maintaining a search engine for a highly vertical segment of an available search audience is generally not a good investment financially. When asked about the financial viability of such a site, owner Chris Nielsen said, “We have some interested parties that would like to be associated with us and are exploring those options, but will not compromise our values for the sake of making a buck. The massive amount of money the asbestos and mesothelioma lawyers are spending have resulted in a feeding frenzy which has spawned thousands of sites and millions of pages of fluff, trash, and recycled content. I admit our site is expected to carry ads at some point, but that is not the reason for creating the site.”
Nielsen was then asked the reason for creating such a site. “I just could not find a central source to go for information where sites were not bidding or competitively optimizing for position and search engine ranking. Search engines are fighting to maintain relevancy but they are having problems. Many ‘scraper sites’ are only looking to get visitors that will click on ads to reach real content. If you try a search for ‘mesothelioma’ it should be clear what the problem is.”
As with their Vioxx medical and legal search engine, Mesothelioma Search Engine will carry no paid search engine results or paid inclusion of sites. The site has a form for visitors to suggest sites. The list of sites included in the index is posted on the site and available for download, a feature not offered by other search engines.
The company is indexing selected sites for those looking for more information such as patients, researchers, families, doctors, pharmacists, students, and those in the legal profession. This site is offered as a public service for those looking for information related to medical and legal information on mesothelioma lung cancer, or asbestos lung cancer for which there is no cure and is caused by exposure to asbestos fibers or asbestos dust.
About Nielsen Technical Services
The company is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has been providing computer and software services since 1988. The Internet has transformed the company from a hardware services company into Internet consulting and specializes in search engine optimization.
