New Book Offers Better Health Via Customized Diet & Exercise
New Book Offers Better Health for Time-Crunched People
CHESTER, Md, January 19, 2009 – From wellness expert Tom Fox comes a new resource that presents readers with an approach for de-programming the bad nutritional and fitness habits that lead to high stress levels and a poor health profile. Instead, Fox advocates that individuals create their own sustainable program that is personalized to their lifestyle, whether they are frequent business travelers, balancing family obligations or in other situations where time is always in short supply. The System for Health & Weight Loss (ISBN 978-0-5954-7999-3, paper, 176 pages, $15.95) was released by iUniverse and is available at www.thomasafox.com.
Knowing that most people who lose weight via dieting gain it back shortly thereafter, Fox researched the topic and put the results together with the information gleaned from his fitness consulting engagements for professional athletes and business executives. He concluded that individuals are unique, so one-size-fits-all dieting simply can’t work and a better solution is to combine a customized diet with fitness and stress management programs.
“As a rookie for the Washington Capitals hockey team, I developed positive habits from Tom Fox that continue to serve me well,” says Jeff Halpern, a veteran of several National Hockey League teams. “You don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from the insights in this book by maximizing your time and improving your health.”
In the volume Fox discusses practical tips for creating unique diets, exercises and other stress-reduction techniques that can be done even by the most time-challenged individuals. A motivating work, The System offers counsel on diet supplements, popular diets, and the dangers of cancer and heart disease that are associated with poorly chosen foods and lifestyles. Individuals will find the book beneficial for their health and energy levels, and it will speak to organizations that will see the potential benefits from greater employee productivity, less absenteeism, and lower insurance costs.
About the Author
After nearly 30 years of helping professional athletes and business executives obtain their maximum potential, Tom Fox knows the myths and misconceptions in the marketplace that need to be avoided in order to sustain healthy living. A professor at Chesapeake College who holds a master’s degree in exercise physiology, he helps individuals de-program their bad habits and adopt customized programs for nutrition, fitness and stress reduction that suit their lifestyle.

Novel Ripped From 30-Year-Old Headlines
Rita Schiano’s recent novel, Painting The Invisible Man, may ring a few familiar distant bells for some people. Described as a contemporary historical fiction, the story eerily resembles the 1976 unsolved gangland-style murder of Alfred Schiano, the author’s father.
Set in Providence, Rhode Island, the story is told first person through the main character, Anna Matteo. “While researching the online archives of The Providence Journal,” explained Schiano, “Anna makes a keying error that leads her to a path she’d been avoiding most of her life; on a journey inside the world of her father, Paulie Matteo, killed gangland-style more than two decades before. The way it begins for Anna is how it began for me. A simple keying error.”
In 2001, Schiano was researching the archives of the Syracuse Post-Standard for a client. She accidentally charged ten articles instead of the one she needed to her credit card. After retrieving her client’s news article, Schiano, a native of Syracuse, New York, began typing in names of people she knew. “Why I typed my father’s name, I’ll never know.”
Thirty-seven articles from the 1990s came up that referenced her father. “It wouldn’t have been all that strange had my father not died in 1976.” The headline that caught her attention mentioned FBI tapes where the man under surveillance “bragged” about getting away with murder. The man on the tape had been acquitted in 1979 of the murder of Schiano’s father.
“At that moment I knew I had to explore this story,” Schiano said. And it seems that the moment she made up her mind, a series of events kept pushing Schiano in that direction. “In the novel Anna quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson: Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen. Every time I backed away from writing this story, something would push me forward.”
For Schiano, the writing of the book was tremendously cathartic. “I had to confront truths about my father I had chosen to ignore for most of my life. Anna’s self-exploration was intensely personal.” Despite the personal element of the story, Schiano believes the lesson is universal. “Anna’s life experience, in and of itself, is unique to her. Yet the exploration one’s personal history is what reader will relate to.”
Schiano’s first novel, Sweet Bitter Love, was published in 1997. Since then, she has contributed several short stories to journals and anthologies.
Schiano’s words are not restricted to page and screen. In 2001, Maggie Moran, CEO of KidsTerrain, Inc. commissioned her and songwriter Jamie Notarthomas to write a song for children that addressed the horrific events of September 11th. Their song, Tiny Acts of Kindness, has played on children’s radio programs throughout the country. A second song commission for KidsTerrain, The Magic In Me, was featured on the NPR Radio children’s show The Zucchini Brothers.

Some Monument To Last
Memoir of TV Journalist James Muñoz
San Antonio, Texas - January 29, 2009 - When TV viewers see James Muñoz on the air, they see a man who has accomplished his lifelong dream. They don\\\'t see the lonely, sexually abused child with a father-sized hole in his heart. James grew up missing the father he never knew and spent much of his early adulthood searching for his paternal family.
Today he uses the name Muñoz (his mother\\\'s maiden name) on the air to honor his maternal family and Hispanic heritage and the name Doughty (his surname) in private life to honor his father. He shares his story to inspire and encourage others to achieve their dreams regardless of the challenges they face. His grandmother\\\'s poems and his father\\\'s letters that helped fill that empty place in his heart will touch the hearts of readers, and his advice to young people will motivate them to build their own monuments to last.
About the Author
James Muñoz was born in Midland, Texas and earned a Bacherlor of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism at Texas Tech University. He started his career in Amarillo, Texas in 1998. He\\\'s currently a TV news reporter in San Antonio, Texas. James has covered major news stories for viewers across the Lone Star State.
