News Archives For November 2008
planetc1.com-news@12:48 pm PST 2008 November is the month the United States elected their 44th president, but that's not the only event that took place during this historical autumn month. There were marathons (and even canceled marathons), parades, music awards, green car awards, devastating fires in the state of California, and numerous other events. We saw chiropractor income reports, chiropractors running marathons, questions on chiropractic practice, and other topics hitting the homepage of planetchiropractic.com. This post serves as a round up for the month of November 2008.
planetc1.com-news@8:39 pm PST Since nearly every chiropractic office in North America is closed on Black Friday, we surveyed chiropractors nationwide, to ask about their favorite premium outlets across the nation. From Tanger outlets in Pennsylvania to Cabazon Outlets (near Palm Springs) in California, we've put together a pretty good list of stores and locations. Chiropractors that participated have their locations mentioned as well. Thanks everybody and have a safe 2009 Black Friday weekend adventure. We don't need Black Friday injuries now do we?
planetc1.com-news@8:33 pm PST It's the eve of Thanksgiving, and while many people are learning for the first time how long it takes to cook a turkey, chiropractors are taking the next few days off. Since offices will be closed on Thursday and Friday, you'll still have time to check out classified ads (when you're not out seeking the latest black Friday deals). Below is a wrap up of advertisements placed earlier this week, and that's going to do it for the month of November. This post is a round up of the most recent advertisements placed in the Classifieds section on Planet Chiropractic. Featured are selected ads that were placed before midweek of November 26th, 2008. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
planetc1.com-news@11:09 am PST We see the same patterns year after year. Thanksgiving week comes and the search is on for Black Friday deals from Target to Circuit City, Macy's, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and many others. While we are not coming up with new turkey recipes and making travel plans for the week, we are figuring out ways of getting away from the workplace early, so as not to be stuck in frustrating traffic Wednesday night. In that whole mix of things, there's the visits to the doctor, dentist, local chiropractor, and maybe even picking up the kids from school. After years of Thanksgiving week consumer behavior, chiropractors and other service based small businesses have modified their hours, and closed up shop on Black Friday.
planetc1.com-news@10:11 pm PST What was once the home to one of the world's oldest chiropractic directory websites, achiro.com, has been acquired by the owners of planetchiropractic.com. Appearing in search archives as early as January of 1999, achiro.com served as a massive listing database of chiropractors across the planet. It existed until around April of 2007, and had provided search results to those seeking chiropractors, with more than 55,000 local listings of doctors of chiropractic.
planetc1.com-news@12:10 pm PST The 2008 American Music Awards (AMA Awards) air live tonight on ABC television at 7 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. Central.

The AMA Music Awards are hosted again this year by comedian Jimmy Kimmel. Check your local ABC television listings for additional information. 2008 Philadelphia Marathon planetc1.com-news@12:44 am PST An estimated 18000 runners are expected to participate in todays 2008 Philadelphia Marathon, which starts at 7am at 22nd & Benjamin Franklin Parkway in the city of Philadelphia, PA. The event is sold out and weather is looking perfect for the race. Current morning temps are expected to be in the low 40's with around 50% humidity. Skies are expected to be mostly cloudy throughout race day. The Philadelphia Marathon is considered a Boston Qualifier, and it's likely a number of qualifiers from Philly will head to the 2008 Boston Marathon.
planetc1.com-news@11:44 pm PST Like most everyone else in America, chiropractors are gearing up for the short upcoming work week, and looking forward to a four-day 2008 Thanksgiving weekend. Earlier today, Dr. Michael Dorausch organized seven different Thanksgiving side dish videos, which motivated me to search out various thanksgiving recipes, and put together a list. From pumpkin cheesecake to cranberry relish, I decided to search blogs for recent Thanksgiving recipe related posts, and put together a list you could use throughout this upcoming Thanksgiving week. The Micro Car and 2009 Fuel Economy planetc1.com-news@11:13 am PST Drivers in the USA are undoubtedly noticing more mini and micro cars on the roads these days, as American consumers show their enthusiasm for greener and more fuel-efficient vehicles. While much media attention has been received for American muscle cars like this 2010 Red Candy GT Coupe Mustang, small economical driving machines have been capturing the interest of the press and public as well.
planetc1.com-news@8:56 pm PST Report of the Annual Meeting of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations - State chiropractic leaders gathered in San Antonio TX November 6-8, 2008 for the annual meeting of the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations.

planetc1.com-news@1:33 pm PST A storm has been brewing in the nonsurgical spinal decompression market. The planetchiropractic.com e-mail inbox has been receiving both targeted marketing from companies and individuals seeking to unload computerized spinal decompression units, and e-mails from chiropractors nationwide seeking out the best possible deals on used spinal decompression products like the DRX9000. It's the perfect storm for those in the market for these types of lumbar disc decompression and cervical decompression products, since prices are expected to be below $30,000 by the first of January, 2009.
planetc1.com-news@9:54 pm PST The newsfeeds are buzzing with stories related to a recent survey that suggests primary care physicians are an endangered species of medical doctor.

Council on Chiropractic Guidelines & Practice Parameters planetc1.com-news@12:01 pm PST In an effort to properly position chiropractic care in the current and emerging healthcare market, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has requested the Council on Chiropractic Guidelines and Practice Parameters' (CCGPP) assistance in creating appropriate definitions of care. The ACA is seeking appropriate definitions of acute chiropractic care, chronic/recurrent chiropractic care, health promotion and wellness chiropractic care, relative to the healthcare market at large. This project was announced earlier this month at the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. 2010 Mustang and LA Auto Show planetc1.com-news@10:45 am PST The 2010 Ford Mustang has been revealed. Just in time for the Los Angeles Auto Show, Ford has released 2010 mustang photos online, and the vehicle will also be viewable at the LA Auto Show, taking place at the convention center in downtown Los Angeles.
planetc1.com-news@9:38 pm PST The chiropractic salaries and advice about chiropractic schools articles result in the largest number of e-mails I receive from individuals seeking careers in the field of chiropractic health-care. Sadly to say, there must be more than 100 unanswered e-mails from prospective chiropractic students, and it would be great if representatives from various US chiropractic schools would field some of these questions for us. Until that time comes, I'll keep answering those that catch my attention.
planetc1.com-news@8:35 pm PST There's been a firestorm of discussion going on today related to a new video campaign by the makers of Motrin. Going to be one hell of a week for those in the reputation management department at Johnson & Johnson, the makers of Motrin. I'm not getting into the Motrin Mom campaign discussion here, visit the blog for my thoughts on the campaign and major headache side effects. Los Angeles Air Quality Alerts - SoCal Fire Maps planetc1.com-news@11:26 am PST Air quality experts are warning people to avoid outdoor activity today as unhealthy air is expected to linger throughout parts of Los Angeles County, and Orange County areas, due to California wildfires putting smoke and ash into the atmosphere.

planetc1.com-news@9:57 am PST It's Thursday and the CMA Awards (country music's biggest) are over (Kenny Chesney won Entertainer of the Year award). Our normal Wednesday posting of classified ad results was postponed as a result, but you can view them all today. This weeks job and office for sale classified ads come from all over the world, with newly listed practices for sale in Austin and Associates wanted in Peoria. This post is a round up of the most recent advertisements placed in the Classifieds section on Planet Chiropractic. Featured are selected ads that were placed before midweek of November 13, 2008.

planetc1.com-news@12:18 pm PST If you ever posted something for sale online, whether it be an auction site or classified ad site, chances are you've been contacted by a scammer. Scams come in all shapes and sizes, and while they begin to look obvious after you've seen a few, people continue to fall for the techniques. As a result, scammers push massive amounts of emails (often through automation) to those selling items online. On planetchiropractic.com I noticed 2 new fraud emails yesterday, resulting in a scam alert, and this advisory post.
planetc1.com-news@4:36 am PST Veterans Day is on Tuesday, November 11th, it is a US Federal Holiday.

planetc1.com-news@4:14 pm PST Millions celebrated the election of Barack Hussein Obama this past week, as the 44th president of the United States. While there are always those that cheered for another side, there's no denying an excitement has been in the air since Tuesday's historic presidential election. The news has continued its frenzy of reporting since that day, with coverage of Obama's press conference, and discussion of a potential White House dog. From Obamanomics to Super Obama World, new presidentially related search engine terms have been popping up all over, and there is no sign that this trend will be slowing.
planetc1.com-news@11:37 pm PST Why is Veterans Day important? It is the annual American holiday honoring military veterans that have served our country. When it comes to honoring those veterans, a parade is hard to beat. If you live in the United States, there is likely a Veterans' Day Parade taking place somewhere in your community in the upcoming days to this year's Veterans' Day, which is officially on November 11, 2008. Below is a listing of several local parades taking place throughout the US, in honor of America's veterans. Click on the links for Google maps marking local Veterans' Day parade events. Rock Concert California Chiro Style planetc1.com-news@1:57 pm PST Some people may find it hard to believe, but chiropractors can party as hard as any other group on the planet. By party, we don't mean get chemically induced and crunk, we mean letting loose and having a good time. Rather than getting over medicated to the point of numbness and dysfunction, the chiropractic community feeds and fuels on the energy that drives this universe. Okay, so there's some alcohol and caffeine involved at times, but for the most part, when chiropractors talk about being Fired up, it's an expression coming from the inside, that's being projected outwards. With that said, one of Chiropractix biggest concert events is scheduled for March of 2009, it's going to be a wild and off the hook ginormous party.
planetc1.com-news@10:07 am PST To the streets of New York City were a sea of colors this past Sunday, as some 40,000 runners crossed the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island, ran 26.2 miles through five NYC boroughs, and finished up their journey in Central Park. Among that sea of people moving through the streets, was a chiropractor promoting Oaklahaven chiropractic for kids.

Featured are selected ads that were placed before midweek of November 5, 2008.
planetc1.com-news@9:56 pm PST Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, with Americans embracing his call for change in the direction and tone of the country. Healthcare has been a huge issue in this year's election, and Obama many times made the US health-care system a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. What Time Do Polls Close - Election Day Vote 2008 planetc1.com-news@4:19 am PST Below is a nationwide list of voting polls hours. You may have found yourself asking what time do polls open in my area? Depending on where you live in the United States, polling places in your area could be opening as early as 6 a.m. or as late as 12 noon. Just as important as knowing when your local polling location has opened, we want to pay attention to when polls close. So, if you have not yet voted in this year's election and still plan to do so, ask yourself... what time do polls close?
planetc1.com-news@4:35 pm PST You may be asking yourself "Where do I vote?" That's the question being asked by lots of Americans today, and likely many more tomorrow. Thanks to online tools and maps, discovering your polling place and finding out where to vote is a fairly simple task. Whether you are in San Diego, Arizona, or New York City, it shouldn't be a tough task. I won't say who you should vote for or who I think is going win the election, let's just focus on getting you to the polls so you can make your vote count.
planetc1.com-news@12:51 pm PST Chiropractor related search traffic has increased for terms related to jobs, salaries, employment, earnings, and offices for sale. The results are showing evidence that what's going on in the global economy, is having an effect on niche industries such as the chiropractic profession. Not only are business sale listings on the rise, those seeking jobs in this hands-on industry, are beginning to look outside their local area for chiropractor work opportunities.
planetc1.com-news@5:27 pm PST Keyword research appears so 20/20 in hindsight that it can leave any news webmaster wondering why they didn't use particular terms and phrases when creating their content in the first place. Politically related search traffic will undoubtedly reach an all-time high during the next 96 hours, and aside from the obvious searches for Obama polls and McCain polls, the potential combination of key phrases leading up to Tuesday's election, is simply mind boggling. Daylight Savings Time Change 2008 planetc1.com-news@11:10 am PST When does daylight savings time end? The answer depends on where you live. For most people in the United States, it's time to change your clocks and fall back on November 2nd, as the official US time changes tonight, at 2 a.m. local time.
