San Francisco, California (PRWEB) June 13, 2013

San Francisco business and community leaders, including Mayor Ed Lee, attended an Academy of Art University fundraiser that raised close to $ 30,000 for survivors of the devastating Oklahoma tornadoes. The special art exhibit, organized by the Academy of Art, was held at the Palace of Fine Arts and featured the Stephens Family’s world famous classic car collection of over 50 cars and award-winning student artwork. Proceeds benefit United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund.

Dr. Elisa Stephens, President of the Academy of Art University, said “When tragedy strikes, everyone wants to do something to support those in need and we are grateful that so many city leaders and members of the Academy of Art community came out for a night to enjoy art while contributing to the recovery efforts in Oklahoma.”

Mayor Ed Lee added, “It is going to take years for the survivors to fully recover from the devastation in Oklahoma and it is important for the good people there to know that they have the support of the rest of the country. So many people in San Francisco have asked what they can do to help and we encourage people who were not able to attend the fundraiser to contribute whatever they can to United Way of Central Oklahoma.”

More than 300 people attended the event including Dr. Elisa Stephens, President of Academy of Art University; San Francisco Mayor Edwin M. Lee; Eric McDonnell, COO United Way Bay Area; angel investor Ron Conway; Naomi Kelly, City Administrator; Greg Suhr, Chief, SF Police Department; Joanne Hayes, Chief, SF Fire Department; Tom C.

Eric McDonnell, Chief Operating Officer of United Way of the Bay Area said, “The outpouring of support around the country for the victims in Oklahoma has been tremendous. United Way provides the public with a trusted partner who will ensure that every dollar donated goes to the people most in need right now. The people of Oklahoma need our help and we are grateful to the San Francisco community for coming together and showing their support.”

After the devastating May tornadoes, United Way of Central Oklahoma activated its disaster relief fund so individuals could contribute specifically to relief and recovery efforts. Fund dollars are being distributed without administrative fees to United Way partner agencies working on the tornado relief efforts. The May Tornado Relief Fund serves both immediate needs, intermediate, and long-term care. For those interested in making a contribution, visit http://www.unitedwayokc.org.

NeuroTrax Invites APA Meeting Attendees to Help Create Insight, the Worlds First Online, Crowd-Sourced Cognitive Testing Service

/in , /by

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) May 19, 2013

Reliable and practical office-based measurement of cognitive function has become critical for healthcare and disease management programs involving psychiatric and neurological disease. NeuroTrax Corporation, a pioneer in web-based cognitive assessment since 2000, is creating a next-generation service to help healthcare practitioners and organizations to more quickly and accurately assess cognitive status.

From its booth (#847) at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association this week in San Francisco, NeuroTrax will be conducting a specialized survey to tap-in to the impressive “brain power” and experience of the more than 13,000 psychiatrists, neurologists and other professionals expected to attend the event from all over the world.

Using results from the survey, along with a strong scientific foundation of 70 peer-reviewed articles developed over years for its popular MindStreams service (http://www.neurotrax.com), NeuroTrax will complete the development of Insight™, a suite of services for evaluation of conditions ranging from memory complaints common to the elderly, to adolescent/adult attention issues.

Planned for international release later this year, Insight will be the world’s first online cognitive testing service to provide professional data review reports from trained cognitive testing experts.

Insight is designed to deliver accurate, valid cognitive functioning assessments, providing a comprehensive brain health report across multiple cognitive domains. Administered in a medical office setting with only minimal supervision required, the test is designed for patients of a wide age range, with or without prior computer experience. Test results, along with a professional report from a cognitive expert, are expediently generated by the service.

“Over the years, we have seen an increased awareness of the importance of obtaining a clear snapshot of the patient’s cognitive status as an important extension of the neurological examination. However, too many patients with complaints of poor memory or difficulty concentrating do not have access to quality testing,” said Ely Simon, M.D., a board certified neurologist and creator of Insight. “By combing the results from our survey, new technology, and a body of science and research developed over many years, we aim to create a new generation of readily accessible cognitive testing and expert reporting, which will benefit practitioners and their patients.”

ABOUT NEUROTRAX

NeuroTrax Corporation was founded in 2000, driven by the vision of elevating the standard of patient care. The company delivers quality cognitive testing products and services to the medical community. With careful attention to cutting edge technology and critical scientific studies, NeuroTrax has succeeded in leading the way in this growing field.

American Bones Road Trip Gets A Kickstart: The DIY Economy Blazes Trail for an American Artist Entrepreneur

/in , /by


San Francisco (PRWEB) March 27, 2012

The Road Trip

Zannah Noes American Bones Road Trip; a multi-media project inspired by the concept of the WPA Artists of the Great Depressionis utilizing a twenty-first century alternative source of support to go off road with an artists adventurous spirit to photograph, write and document her experiences. Upon her return she will create a body of paintings based on all of the material collected called American Bones. She is out to create a new version of Americana.

During these tough economic times for the creative class, Noe is using new tools that give options for funding and manufacturing for artists. With the intention and itinerary in mind, Noe turned to the crowd funding website, Kickstarter.com as base of support for The American Bones Road Trip. Her friends and supporters have met her Kickstarter funding goals with time to raise even more money until April 9th. Continued support will allow the project to expand into a deeper exploration of the current American experience.

To find out more and to participate in the project click here.

The Art

The work explores a deeper understanding of our cultural icons, roots and myths about us as a nation. Noes work will be based on historical facts of our roots along with present day cultural differences. Touring the nation in an election year, she will bring a fresh look at the culture that our current political landscape seeks to understand, if only for its own purposes. Illustrating initially with her photographs, blog and sketches, she will create an image library of portraits, landscapes, architecture, and stories for later use in a series of fine art oil paintings. In her earlier series,Amusement Architecture, portraits of Coney Island and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, she found inspiration for the expanding the series. The roller coaster as the projects icon was chosen, as it is a universally shared American experience outside of religion and politics.

On April 7th, she will have completed a two-month Artist in Residency at Gathering Artists Gallery in Corrales, NM, who will represent her southwest series. She departs on the road on April 8th. Additional shows are Tres Amigas a group show with New Mexico artists, Jade Leyva and Ann Osenga at the Red Boot Gallery, at The Range Caf
