Who won Dancing with the Stars 2009? ABC television’s 2009 Dancing with the Stars celebrated a new winner Tuesday night. In its eighth season, which premiered on March 9, 2009, with 13 couples vying for the number one spot, ABC television and DWTS had its narrowest competition ever. In a finale that was declared as the tightest ever in the show’s history, 2009 Dancing with the Stars winner is Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson.

If you own the domain for your website, there’s a really good chance you’ve received mail from various domain renewal groups, urging you to renew your domain before it expires. While the expiration notice may appear legitimate, there’s many companies seeking to profit from domain owners that don’t know the actual cost of renewing a domain, or are unaware of when their domain is set to expire. Be careful when renewing your domains, don’t be a victim of price gouging and questionable domain transfer and renewal techniques.

Dozens of practices for sale, patient education systems, chiropractic adjusting tables, and x-ray equipment appearing in new chiropractic classifieds placed in the last week. There’s also more than 200 chiropractic job posts for positions such as associates wanted and Associates available. If you’re seeking chiropractic employment, it’s a no-brainer to get a free post added to the Associates category.

The 2009 Los Angeles Marathon is scheduled for Memorial Day Monday, which is one week from today. Many local runners are hoping June gloom arrives a little bit early, bringing with it a marine layer and cooler temperatures throughout the Southland. Having been a runner in Los Angeles for the past decade, we’re reaching that time of year where running in the afternoon is a bit more taxing on the body, than it’s been in the months since October. With a marathon start time of around 7:20 AM, it’s going to be a race to the finish line, hopefully before the sun brings the heat upon Los Angeles.

A magnitude 5.0 earthquake hit greater Los Angeles California at 8:39 PM tonight, Sunday, May 17, 2009. The quake was felt 1 mile from Lennox, a mile from Inglewood, 2 miles from Hawthorne, and 4 miles from El Segundo. Here are some resources for people that want to view Los Angeles earthquake information.

The world wackiest road race took place today in San Francisco, with Kenya’s 22-year-old Sammy Kitwara, crushing an existing record for the San Francisco Bay to Breakers 12K race. Kitwara ran the 12 kilometer distance in a time of 33:31 with an average running pace of 4:30, beating all previous records in the 98-year-old San Francisco foot race. ING did a terrific job with this year’s 2009 Bay to Breakers event, and lots of photos have already appeared online, thanks to Twitter and photo sharing sites like Flickr.

It’s marathon weekend in Green Bay, and with a record number of runners already signed up for race day, the Green Bay Marathon 2009 is looking like a spectacular running event. Besides the 26.2 mile marathon, there is a half marathon, as well as a 5K event. Registration for the half marathon is officially closed, with an estimated 4000 participants registered. It’s the 10th annual Cellcom Green Bay Marathon, which begins and ends at the famous Lambeau Field.

Will it be the Kentucky Derby upset Mine That Bird, filly Rachel Alexandra, or another thoroughbred in the 13 horse lineup, to win the 2009 Preakness Stakes? I took some time this morning to research many of the questions being asked regarding today’s second jewel in the Triple Crown of horse racing, the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico racetrack in Baltimore Maryland.

In its 98th year, the ING Bay to Breakers 12K, is one of the world’s largest and oldest foot races. The 2009 San Francisco Bay to Breakers race takes place this Sunday, May 17. The Bay to Breakers name reflects the traditional course which takes tens of thousands of participants from the northeast end of downtown San Francisco to Ocean Beach, or the West End of the city. The 7.46 mile race features world-class athletes as well as colorful costumed runners and lots of fun loving people out for a great day of running and walking through San Francisco.

The Preakness Stakes takes place this Saturday at Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore, Maryland. Inaugurated in 1873, the Preakness is held on the third Saturday of May each year. As a kid I was fortunate to spend many Sundays at Belmont Race Track in New York, thanks to parents and relatives deeply interested in thoroughbred horse racing. This chiropractor remembers Woody Woodpecker cartoons playing on the TV screens in the early 1970s, probably something that was done to keep kids entertained while parents placed their bets. We never made the trip to Baltimore for the Preakness, but there were a few to the Kentucky Derby throughout the 1970s. This years stunning Kentucky Derby win by Mine That Bird will likely increase television viewership for the 2009 Preakness, as people from around the world tune in to see The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans.

What if the swine flu virus, which has been spreading across the globe, was not something that occurred as a result of nature, but was man made in a laboratory? Sound like a crazy chiropractic conspiracy theory? Well, it’s a question and Australian scientist behind the development of Tamiflu is asking. Respected scientist, Adrian Gibbs, claims the new swine flu H1N1 virus may possibly have been accidentally created in a laboratory, by scientists using eggs to grow viruses and make new vaccines.

We run out of titles for weekly chiropractic classified advertisement updates so you may sometimes simply see keywords pulled from recent classified ads. Myovision 8000, x-ray processors, verti-lift adjusting tables, practices for sale in California, subluxation stations, buildings for sale in Georgia, and opportunities to practice in Amsterdam, are among recent posts for this week’s classified ads.

Chiropractors have one more thing to look out for when it comes to being pitched on chiropractic marketing online. I strongly suggest chiropractors read the Chiropractic Traffic Report in order to better understand what I’m addressing in this post. When it comes to selling online marketing services to chiropractors, there’s far too much deception going on, and it’s time to shine some light on the topic of deceptive chiropractic marketing, and fraudulent claims.

Chronic low back pain is a plague on America, and when it comes to its treatment, there is a long laundry list of therapies and approaches people rely on. A recent study published in the May issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that acupuncture is an effective treatment for chronic low back pain. However, the study noted an unusual finding, that penetration of the skin with needles was not required, in order for people to report improvement. Turns out acupuncture can be added to the long list of uses for the common toothpick.

When it comes to sending media releases online, what goes for other industries also goes for the industry of chiropractic. Those that send out news releases and media information, can expect to see an increase in website related traffic. News releases can be seen on Planet Chiropractic several times a week, and sources range from chiropractic schools to chiropractic organizations and nonprofit groups. News releases are sometimes submitted by chiropractors practicing the field, but there is room for how-to learning, by studying what’s being approved when it comes to chiropractic news releases.

232 new classified advertisements in the queue since the beginning of May, with ads for items such as a myovision 8000, x-ray processor, hydraulic hand dynamometer, high frequency x-ray, impulse adjusting instruments, patient education systems, and chiropractic practices for sale. As always, any chiropractor selling products online is advised to watch out for potential scams and fraud when posting classified ads. A Nigerian Scammer Loaded Martins contacted someone earlier this week, hoping to get them to wire money overseas. It’s a good practice to take the extra steps in getting to know who you’re dealing with, before sharing any personal or specific information when buying or selling via chiropractic classifieds online. A simple reply to e-mails asking somebody what chiropractic college they attended, is a good way to start.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 67% of American workers don’t like their jobs. People start working when they are 16 to 18 and don’t stop until they are 65 or older. Careers chosen at 18 may not be appropriate when they turn 50. Changing careers is a well-established fact of employment. Vincent Van Gogh, the impressionist painter, was a schoolmaster, student priest missionary and art dealer before he became a painter. The days of retiring to Florida are long gone. Dr. Bernie Furshpan retired, made that dramatic career change and now he’s poking fun at his experiences.
