1. BEHAVIOR: ANGER MANAGEMENT SKILLS INCREASE HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. DR. ROBERT PUFF, internationally renowned clinical psychologist and author of "Anger Work: How To Express Your Anger and Still Be Kind" and the podcast "Living a Peaceful Life": "Everyone gets angry. We know it's unhealthy to keep our feelings bottled up. Still, most people don't know good alternatives to erupting like a volcano or silently watching their blood pressure rise." Puff can discuss how to positively channel your anger for release without inflicting it on others, which frees you to resolve conflict in a constructive manner.

2. BEVERAGE: BEER LOVERS LOVE BEER FROM CRAFT BREWERS. JULIA HERZ, a spokesperson for the BREWERS ASSOCIATION and recognized beer judge: "In the last 30 years, small, independent craft brewers have grabbed more market share and created more new beer styles and beer fans than anyone ever imagined. Dollar sales of craft brewers grew 58 percent from 2004-07. Two of the major reasons for this growth are the American trend of buying local products and a preference for more flavorful foods and beers. This is quite a significant accomplishment for small, independent producers who each brew less than 2 million barrels a year. With the average American living within 10 miles of a brewery, today's beer lover has gotten to know the maker behind their brands and, thus, has made a very special and personal connection with their backyard brewer." Herz can speak about the Great American Beer Festival (Oct. 9-11), independent craft brewers, beer and food pairings, beer styles, trends in the beer category, and why so much has changed in the beer industry in the last few decades.

3. HEALTH: DENTAL HEALTH CONTRIBUTES TO MENTAL HEALTH. DR. RAY HATLAND, DDS, is a CHICAGOHEALERS.COM practitioner. In light of National Dental Hygiene Month (October), Hatland can discuss how dental health contributes to mental health: "A visit to the dentist may be beneficial to your mental health, as well as your dental health. Our teeth play an important role in keeping the meridians of our energy system charged up. However, unbalanced bites, oral habits such as clenching or bruxing, acute or chronically infected teeth with or without pain, mercury fillings and sometimes other metallic restorations, and gum disease can be very disruptive to the energy system."

4. HEALTH: 'SUPER' LICE: A REAL BACK-TO-SCHOOL HEAD-SCRATCHER. DR. IRA A. PION, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Dermatology at the NEW YORK UNIVERSITY Langone Medical Center, is a dermatologist who specializes in the treatment of head lice: "About one in every 100 U.S. elementary school children will be infested with head lice in any given year, and a peak is generally experienced during back-to-school time. Physicians and parents are often challenged by this common medical problem, as lice are learning to outsmart many of the pesticide-based products by developing a resistance, thus causing anxiety in families and schools." Pion can speak about the importance of effectively treating head lice, and give advice about the signs and symptoms and how to prevent these parasites from infesting families and schools.

5. HEALTH: PHYSICAL THERAPY AS EFFECTIVE AS ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY. CHRISTOPHER POWERS, PT, Ph.D., AMERICAN PHYSICAL THERAPY ASSOCIATION spokesperson and associate professor and director of the program of biokinesiology at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: "Many times, knee pain is associated with abnormal movement patterns that cause increased stress on the joint. Arthroscopic surgery does little to correct the dynamic factors that may be contributing to knee pain and pathology. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive treatment approach for patients."

6. NUTRITION: MAINTAINING A HEALTHY DIET. DR. MELODY HART, N.A., CHICAGOHEALERS.COM practitioner: "An enjoyable meal starts with a healthy meal.

7. WOMEN'S ISSUES: THE GLASS CEILING: HOW SUCCESSFUL WOMEN PLAY THE ODDS WITH THE OLD BOYS. DR. DIANE HALPERN, former president of the American Psychological Association, is professor of psychology and director of the Berger Institute for Work, Family and Children at CLAREMONT MCKENNA COLLEGE: "Many women have told me how they have had difficulty reaching positions of prominence in the workplace because they are women. Many women put family and relationships on hold in their careers because they perceive them as obstacles to their rise to the top. Women do not need to sacrifice these joys of life, just as men shouldn't have to. There is an art to balancing work and family that can lead to a very fulfilling personal and work life." Halpern is available to speak on these issues based on her many years of listening to women's experiences and her research as co-author of the upcoming book, "Women at the Top: Powerful Leaders Tell Us How to Combine Work and Family."
