On Thursday the SEC sent out a press release captioned "SEC Seeks to Halt Scheme Raising Investor Funds Under Guise of JOBS Act." The action doesn't really have anything to do with the JOBS Act, as in the sense that it seeks to set the boundaries of the JOBS Act or otherwise interpret its provisions. Rather it alleges blatant garden-variety securities fraud where the defendant made statements to investors that the 2012 JOBS Act would enable him to raise billions of dollars by advertising the offering to the general public, and produce big profits for early investors. Some believe the SEC is trying to signal that it is going to be vigilant on JOBS Act fraud. For the rather amusing defendant's side of the story and other interesting analysis, see this Bloomberg Businessweek article.
One lesson that those intending to enter the market legally can learn is what you put on your web site can and will be used against you by the enforcement authorities. As of today, the defendant's web site is still operational and is a case study in what not to do.
On a more positive note, the Wall Street Journal reported that AngelList is rolling out a long-anticipated accredited equity crowdfunding service to its users this week. To date, the service has been available to a handful of companies, by invitation only, since December 2012. The service is now available to any qualifying startup or "top-tier" accredited angel investor using the site.
The SEC announced the agenda for a meeting of its Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies on Wednesday, May 1. While some believe JOBS Act topics will be discussed, the agenda is rather opaque and states "the presentations and the discussions are expected to cover a wide array of issues regarding small and emerging companies, such as capital formation, securities trading, and research and offering communications."
But many are anxious for final and proposed rules without much guidance from the SEC as to when this will occur. The CrowdCheck Blog urged everyone to be realistic by stating "While some commenters on the SEC JOBS Act comment section have resorted to unproductive heckling of the SEC to get a move on, the rest of us understand what is at stake for crowdfunding and the need to get the rules right." CrowdCheck says it does the basic "due diligence" that a reasonable person would do when investing small amounts of his own funds, and lets investors see the results of this due diligence in an easy-to-understand report. There appears to be an adult lawyer or two in charge of this operation.
CFO.com has an interesting article on "How Venture Capital and Crowdfunding Can Coexist." The theme is perhaps crowdfunding can be used to fill gaps in a venture funded company's funding plans. It raises the specter of venture capitalists being scared off by complex capital structures with thousands of shareholders.
Prof. Manning Warren discussed potential civil claims against crowdfunders in a guest blog at Insider Louisville and the strict liability provisions of the JOBS Act. He notes "In addition to all other state and federal liability provisions, the JOBS Act creates a special new cause of action against companies that want to crowdfund themselves. The new law imposes liability for any false or misleading statements or omissions made in any oral or written communications to investors. Investors wanting their money back, plus interest, can file their lawsuits and win their cases without proving that the company had any intent to deceive them and without proving that the company actually caused their losses."
Finally, while we're on the dreary topic of litigation, Heath Abshure, Arkansas Securities Commissioner and president of National Association of Securities Administrators Association, gave a speech to his group and representatives of the SEC. His point is investor recourse is likely to be limited given the small amounts invested in crowdfunded offerings as it would not be cost beneficial for individual investors to commence law suits. So he advocates no restrictions on class actions. While the JOBS Act doesn't restrict class actions, his point is broker-dealers that are associated with the offerings often have mandatory arbitration clauses with their customers. Implicit in his analysis seems to be those suffering losses from crowdfunding may find their entrepreneur and investment judgment proof and broker-dealers will be the only deep pockets available to make investors whole. But opening the class action door against broker-dealers may lead to a raft of shake down litigation episodes of the type common with announced M&A transactions that could ruin the industry.

Modern Elliptic Curve Factorization, Part 2
April 27, 2010
The elliptic curve factorization algorithm is remarkably similar to Pollard's p-1 algorithm:
define p-1 (n, B1, B2)
1 |
define ecf (n, B1, B2, C)
q = 2 | 2 | Qx,z ∈ C // random point |
for p ∈ π(2 … B1) | 3 | for p ∈ π(2 … B1) |
a = ⌊log p B1⌋
4 |
a = ⌊log p B1⌋
q = qpa (mod n)
5 | Q = pa ⊗C Q |
g = gcd (q, n)
6 |
g = gcd (Qz, n)
if (1 < g < n) return g | 7 | if (1 < g < n) return g |
for p ∈ π(B1 … B2) | 8 | for p ∈ π(B1 … B2) |
q = qp (mod n)
9 | Q = p ⊗C Q |
10 |
g = g × Qz (mod n)
g = gcd (q, n)
11 |
g = gcd (g, n)
if (1 < g < n) return g | 12 | if (1 < g < n) return g |
return failure | 13 | return failure |
Lines 3 and 8 loop over the same lists of primes. Line 4 computes the same maximum exponent. Lines 6 and 7, and lines 11 and 12, compute the same greatest common divisor. And line 13 returns the same failure. The structures of the two algorithms are identical. Also, note that both algorithms use variables that retain their meaning from the first stage (lines 2 to 7) to the second stage (lines 8 to 12).
Lines 2, 5, 9 and 10 differ because p-1 is based on modular arithmetic and ecf
is based on elliptic arithmetic (note that the ⊗C operator, otimes-sub-C, indicates elliptic multiplication on curve C). The most important difference is on the first line, where ecf
has an extra argument C indicating the choice of elliptic curve. If the p-1 method fails, there is nothing to do, but if the ecf
method fails, you can try again with a different curve.
Use of Montgomery's elliptic curve parameterization from the previous exercise is a huge benefit. Lenstra's original algorithm, which is the first stage of the modern algorithm, required that we check the greatest common divisor at each step, looking for a failure of the elliptic arithmetic. With the modern algorithm, we compute the greatest common divisor only once, at the end, because Montgomery's parameterization has the property that a failure of the elliptic arithmetic propagates through the calculation. And without inversions, Montgomery's parameterization is also much faster to calculate. Brent's parameterization of the randomly-selected curve is also important, as it guarantees that the order of the curve (the number of points) will be a multiple of 12, which has various good mathematical properties that we won't enumerate here.
There is a simple coding trick that can speed up the second stage. Instead of multiplying each prime times Q, we iterate over i from B1 + 1 to B2, adding 2Q at each step; when i is prime, the current Q can be accumulated into the running solution. Again, we defer the calculation of the greatest common divisor until the end of the iteration.
Your task is to write a function that performs elliptic curve factorization. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

They had been hearing the advertisements on the radio and kept begging to go and their parents let them, so I was brave enough to take them. I just didn't know what I was getting myself in for. LOL
I think if it had been me making the call, I would have
passed on using that technique for kids that age.
Shoot, my 14-year-old is a big ol' chicken!
A few years back, one of the kids in my mother's
neighborhood went through a local haunt and
she came out crying. I'm not sure that's healthy,
but I guess those things can't be avoided.
Oh, the child was about 12 at the time.
They had been hearing the advertisements on the radio and kept begging to go and their parents let them, so I was brave enough to take them. I just didn't know what I was getting myself in for. LOL
They were all clinging onto each other and to me the entire way through. LOL
We have a DJ inside our facade above the waiting area as they wait in line with a large 12x16 movie screen playing Elswarro's Que Line DVD. Add our Ivy Man suit blended into the natural ivy on our haunted house and you got some great entertainment before the enter the haunt.
Midway Shops Themed in Ghost Town sets include glow products, and an apparel shop with all our custom T's. Next to that the ATM to make buying easy and the Last Ride Simulator shop to have some more haunting fun before the leave after the haunt. A Chilling Magic Show on a separate ticket that can be before or after the show is another great revenue stream.
All this is just more entertainment to keep them spending the money at your haunt oppossed to your competitions! The best solution is Timed Ticketing, that way your customers don't have to wait. We are coming out with a complete ticketing solution at St. Louis in 2009 that solves it once and for all from the Box Office to the Web. We have been testing it for several years at Spookywoods and not only does it improve customer service it makes an extra 5K per night.
Good Luck and Keep them Screaming!

one thing that sells the most (even though it was mentioned earleir) but glow sticks/bracelets/necklaces/novelties are top sellers in haunted house attractions.
alot of people feel that with light, that they will be able to see better and know where they are going. this way, they dont break rules of having too bright of a light, but they will feel better on going in, plus you make a side profit. alot of young customers will buy them, and buying glowsticks in bulk is very cheap.
lol last year we sold them while waiting in line to get in, and when they reached the door to go in, the one who explained the rules added this line:
"oh, i see you have glowsticks! thats good. you can see in the dark now....but that means that the monsters inside will find you faster than ever..... have fun!"
it really gets them freaked out, and it does give the actors a little bit of help to see where they are at.
you can order bulk from www.extremeglow.com or www.glowproducts.com
I'm so excited about your ticketing system! Also, be looking for a visit from us soon... we really want to take a look at your attraction, if it's ok with you first! ... Sounds like you are running a top-notch show and have much to teach us! -Tyler
We got a lot of interest in Magic Motion for queue line entertainment at TW this year as it makes it possible for a hidden actor to control an animatronic prop to interact directly with your queue line.
Initially my thoughts about putting this kind of prop up front was kinda like giving the show away before you have even got any money off the punters, but after giving it some thought, you come to realize that when in the haunt your throughput requirements makes it hard to have a prop interact and converse without slowing down your throughput.
You could even tie this interaction up with the name grabbing ideas.

Is there a link for "Magic Motion", I'd like to have an idea of what your talking about! Thanks. -Tyler
FearSeeker: Too bad you don't have a video of that. Great blackmail footage!
Hey, there's another idea. You know how you can buy a video of yourself on a rollercoaster at some theme parks? How about that for a haunt? The lighting would be an issue, but with all the innovation in this industry? Should be no problem!
Tony: I went to your site and looked at the Ivy Man suit. OMG, that is SO cool. I hope you have plans to do different types, as well.
Also, I wanted to ask you . . . on your ticketing system, for those who buy tickets that get them into the HH quickly, you don't think you could actually be *losing* revenues by not having them wait (i.e., buying stuff at the pre-haunt events)?
"oh, i see you have glowsticks! thats good. you can see in the dark now....but that means that the monsters inside will find you faster than ever..... have fun!"
phreakout: I can just see the oh-crap-I-hadn't-thought-of-that look on their faces, LOL!
Phoenix: I went to your site, too, and watched the YouTube demo. Amazing!
He would make a perfect host for a HH. Imagine all the different personalities
you could fit him out with. Or, for that matter, "he" could be a "she."

text: Hello everyone. I'm going to purchase a ESM P-51B in the next day or two and wondered if anyone has stripped a ESM wing and recovered in fiberglass yet. Is this doable and would it be beneficial? The model comes in around 16lbs I believe and I understand warbirds tend to fly more scale like if they are a bit heavy. I looked up the same scale models built by Ziroli and Yellow and noticed theirs were a bit heavier. I know these models are better but,I like the value and quality of the ESM planes with the scale retractable gear. The prices are hard to beat so I'm thinking with a little added effort I could end up with a great machine. I also plan on using a scale cockpit kit and possibly modifying the retracts by adding a retractable tailwheel. I would also like to use a scale Kelo exhaust system although I haven't made up my mind on engines yet. Anyway, I haven't really seen much info on mods to ESM planes and in fact can't find near the information these days on R/C (Fuel Burning) aircraft like there used to be. Even many of the magazines are going under. Seems like all I find are on these new fangled "toy" electric things now. I would appreciate any help, suggestions,or feedback of any kind on the subject.

Robert Bowling (the source of majority of update information) has made numberous tweets today about the updates to address the following issues:
"Lots of #MW3 updates planned this week. We'll be addressing "laggy" games, stat loss prevention, & more. Pushing for pre-Holiday release!"
He later revealed that the update would be coming during thanksgiving, which is pretty USA orientated but this takes place on the 24th of November, so we should be expecting a big update around then to fix all the connectivity problems we have been facing, as well as the stat loss problems as well as "more" which is always a treat!
In another nice tweet to brighten all our days he tweeted the following:
"Yes. Eventually we'll be posting up some changelogs for all the updates since launch. Probably post-Thanksgiving update."
Hurrah! We may finally find out what the 1.04 update officially did fix and get a proper change log rather than a tweet. It seems Call of Duty are listening to their customers, giving them the change logs they have been demanding and finally addressing the problems majority of users have been facing. Stay tuned for more information.
Also, premium users using the Theatre area in Modern Warfare 3, the slot number has been temporarily reduced to 8 from 24 while updates are taking place. You're content in the other 16 slots is still saved and will return.

Industrial enzymes are specific catalysts that are utilized to accelerate a chemical reaction as well as to catalyze the chemical reaction that does not occur naturally. A few of these enzymes even improve the yield of process by optimizing output from the same raw material by 8% to 10%. Due to these novel features, the demand for industrial enzymes has catapulted to new heights from industrial manufacturers that are involved in constant research and development, to optimize their production and minimize resource costs.
The industrial enzymes available are Carbohydrases, Proteases, Lipases, Polymerases, etc., which are further sub categorized into a large number of enzymes extensively used in various industries. Carbohydrases form the major class of enzymes that catalyzes the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugar. They also account for the largest market share in the food and beverage, detergent, and textile industry. Other sub-types of types of carbohydrases include amylase, cellulose, lactase, and pectinase.
The global market for industrial enzymes was fairly immune to the recent turmoil in the global economy and grew moderately in the last decade. The demand for industrial enzymes in matured economies such as the U.S., Western Europe, Japan, and Canada was relatively stable during the recent times, while the developing economies of Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, along with Africa, and the Middle East regions emerged as the fastest growing markets for industrial enzymes.

Honey Lavender Fillet of Beef
Each christmas my brother buys us a hamper of local gourmet food products.
In the last one he included Herbs de Provence from Lucknow Lavender.
Yes it has sat in my pantry until now when I finally decided to get brave and cook a dish with lavender.
Fortunately the little tag included a recipe.
And my butcher sold us this beautiful piece of scotch fillet.
The beef is brushed with a combination of honey and oil.
Then coated with the herbs and left to marinate for a few hours.
I decided to try some smashed potatoes, they are boiled then squashed.
They were drizzled with olive oil, then a quick grind of salt and pepper, then popped in with the roasting beef.
The beef was firstly seared all over.
Then roasted in the oven.
I allowed plenty of resting time as we poked and prodded trying to guess if we cooked it right!
And then it was sliced, perfect I would say.
It cut like butter and was so evenly cooked all the way through.
I used the pan to prepare a jus with stock, wine and vinegar.
It resulted in a rich delicious sauce that was licked off the plate by my daughter.
And the lavender, it was really subtle, just a hint of it, and I loved it.
I've also submitted this post in the Monthly Mingle hosted by the Cook Republic, the theme is honey!

To help you understand what network marketing is, I must first explain what it IS NOT. First, network marketing IS NOT a pyramid scheme. Pyramids are programs similar to chain letters where people just invest money based on the promise that other people will put in money that will filtrate back to them and somehow, they'll get rich. A pyramid is strictly a money game and has no basis in real commerce. Normally, there's no product involved at all, just money changing hands. Modern-day pyramids may have a product, but it's clearly there just to disguise the money game.
Network marketing is a legitimate business. First, it's based on providing people with real, legitimate products they need and want at a fair price. While some people do make a lot of money through network marketing, their financial benefit is always the result of their own dedicated efforts in building an organization that sells real products and services. Pyramids are illegal and are based on taking advantage of people. For a person to actually make money in a pyramid scheme, someone else has to lose money. But in network marketing, each person can multiply his or her efforts, skills and talents by helping others be successful. Network marketing has proved itself as part of the new economy and a preferred way to do business here and around the world.
Network marketing IS NOT about taking advantage of your friends and relatives. Network marketing IS NOT a get-rich-quick scheme. Of course some people do make large amounts of money very quickly. Many would say those people are lucky. But success in networking IS NOT based on luck. (Unfortunately, money won't sprout wings and fly into your bank account no matter what someone has promised you.) Success in network marketing is based on following some very basic yet dynamic principles.
Now let's discuss what network marketing is. Network marketing is a serious business for serious people. It's a proven system where the design, creation and expense the corporate team has gone through becomes a road map for your own success. Just follow the simple, proven and duplicable system that the good companies provide.
The real key is this: Network marketing is all about leverage. You can leverage your time and increase the number of hours of work effort on which you can be paid by sponsoring other people and earning a small income on their efforts. J. Paul Getty, who created one of the world's greatest fortunes, said "I would rather make 1 percent on the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent on my own efforts." This very basic concept is the cornerstone of network marketing.
For example, most successful people building a network marketing business do so in an organized method. They work a few dedicated hours each week, with each hour of effort serving as a building block for their long-term business growth. Then they sponsor other people and teach those people how to sell the company product and sponsor others who duplicate the process.
By helping the people you personally sponsor to sponsor others, you duplicate yourself. As this process continues, you create compound growth that can lead to hundreds or even thousands of people coming into your business. You leverage your time by helping others be successful and earn an income from all their efforts.
With network marketing, there are no big capital requirements, no geographical limitations, no minimum quotas required and no special education or skills needed. Network marketing is a low-overhead, home based business that can actually offer many of the tax advantages associated with owning your own business. Network marketing is a people-to-people business that can significantly expand your circle of friends. It's a business that enables you to travel and have fun as well as enjoy the lifestyle that extra income can provide.

Los Angeles
Trip Start
May 01, 2009
Trip End
Where I stayed
with Mum's cousin Trevor and Sandra
After saying goodbye to my friends Glynis, Brodie, Glen and Sarah who came to see me off at the airport, the first leg was a flight from Auckland to Tahiti. Boarding the plane, it was a bit of a surprise to see all of the flight attendants wearing face masks (because of the swine flu thing which everyone has their knickers in a twist about). The flight was OK, very smooth with pretty much no turbulence, and we landed in Papeete,Tahiti after about 5 hours. It was very hot and humid when getting off the plane there (after being in the intensely air conditioned cabin), and after receiving a complimentary flower, we had a wait of about 45 minutes before boarding for the second flight bound for LA.
The next flight was eight and a bit hours long, and it was another good flight, though I only managed to get about 2-2 1/2 hours of frequently interrupted and uncomfortable sleep. I also tried my first foreign beer called Hinano, which is a Tahitian beer, and it was quite good.
As we approached LA, the first thing I noticed as we were circling around before landing, was that the air was quite hazy/smoggy compared to what I had ever seen in the past. The mountains surrounding LA, which are inland a bit, were only partly visible at the top, and the lower sky was quite brown. Despite this, it was really nice to get out of the plane/airport into some fresh air.
I then had 5 1/2 hours to wait until Mum and Dad landed. They were flying with Air NZ, as they got a good deal on return flights with them, but it was going to be $2300 one way to the UK via the US with them, which is really expensive - a return flight to the UK (via asia) was about $1800! I ended up saving $700 by flying with Air Tahiti Nui/Virgin Atlantic, and the flights were only a few hours out, so it was well worth it. I passed some time by going and finding the big LAX sign, walking around a few random streets etc, and just killing some time by reading in the terminal.
I couldn't believe how much different everything seemed...obviously they drive on the right hand side of the road, but all the cars looked much different (there was lots of huge 4WDs, I saw 5 or 6 limosines within the first hour or so out of the airport, and there was a lot of generic american looking cars too). There are palm trees everywhere, and the people looked a lot different also - there were a lot more african american and latino people there, which sounds obvious I know, but it I didn't expect such a huge change.
Once my parents landed, we had a quick drink at starbucks then caught a taxi to Hermosa Beach, which is a suburb in LA. I found it a really fascinating drive, as the places all looked a lot different to what I'm used to in New Zealand. While in LA, we have been staying with my Mums cousin Trevor and his wife Sandra. They have a really nice house, which is about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach. While waiting for them to get home from work, we were really surprised that a lady from across the road came and asked us if we would like to sit down and have a coffee! That was another thing that was different from what I had expected...the people who we encountered were all so friendly and polite! I guess I had a bit of a preconception that Americans were typically loud and arrogant, but all of the people we met were so nice! It has made me think that perhaps it's not that American people are loud or 'out there', but that New Zealanders are just more reserved and introverted.
That evening, we went out for dinner to the Manhattan Beach Brewing Company, which is actually just a pub, but they have big vats all down one side which they use to brew their own beer. The meal was really nice, and they have a really cool way to serve beer which I had never seen before - they bring you some empty glasses, and you can order a 3 or 5 litre tower of beer which you can dispense yourself. The Indian Pale Ale we had was really good!
We didn't go to bed until about 10pm that night, which meant that in the last 34 hours I had only got about 2 1/2 hours of sleep...needless to say I was knackered!

Bruce Stimon is serving a seven-year sentence for posting a sex tape of his ex-girlfriend, Soraida Hicks, and advertising her as an escort. He also sent the video to her daughter and posted the daughter's name online.
Soraida Hicks, 32, did not know Stimon was married when he harassed her.
Now, Stimon's wife of 22 years, Kathleen Stimon, a school librarian, is breaking her silence to say he also cyber harassed her. In a recent interview with "20/20" near her home in New Hampshire, she said Stimon inflicted harm on his own family, which also includes their 13-year-old son.
Watch the full story on "20/20: The Ultimate Betrayal" TONIGHT at 10 ET
"I think throughout this whole thing it really has never been apparent that Bruce had a family," Kathleen Stimon said. "There was never [an] indication that he was a married man with a child, and I just felt that it was time for me to tell my side of the story."
In the fall of 2011, Bruce Stimon met Soraida Hicks on a flight from Boston to Washington, D.C. They began a relationship, during which he traveled frequently from New Hampshire to Virginia to see her. The romance fizzled, and, police say, he cyber harassed her, posting fake profiles of her on escort websites and posting a sex tape of the two them that she never knew existed, among other acts.
Kathleen Stimon said that during those months, she had no idea what her husband was doing on those business trips to Washington. As the case unfolded, she was horrified, she said.
"The things he did to her, hour and hours of plotting and planning, were very devious, very ugly," she said. "And when you involve somebody's child, I mean, it's the lowest thing you do. It's just despicable."
After she learned of her husband's conviction and the affair that preceded it, Kathleen Stimon got a surprising request during a phone call with Stimon, then in prison.
"He was looking for me to help him. He needed money, he needed a lawyer," she said. "I told him I didn't think I could be married to him anymore, that I wanted a divorce."
She said her husband began to terrorize her, and in ways similar to what he had done to Hicks.
"He shut off the utilities going in our house ... my house, and our child's house," she said. "He took over anything he could online ... my Facebook, my eBay, my PayPal. I thought I was safe because he was in prison. I didn't think he was capable of doing anything during that time."
She would soon be left with yet another unwanted surprise: around $50,000 in bills for charges including travel to see Hicks and gifts he gave Hicks during their romance -- flowers, chocolates, lingerie and an iPhone he used to track Soraida Hicks' every move.
"I think he appeared to have money ... and she went for it," Kathleen Stimon said, "and what she found herself was 'crazy'!"
Stimon described the effect the sex tape had on her.
"It's unfortunately very common, I guess, for a spouse to have an extramarital affair," she said. "But to actually see it, you know, watch a video of him with another woman was very painful."
Bruce Stimon's attorney has not responded to emails seeking comment.
For her part, Soraida Hicks still feels haunted and afraid, she told "20/20."
"I'm afraid that he's going to pay someone to kill me," Hicks said, crying.
Revenge Porn Sex Tape Difficult to Remove from Web
Hicks tried to have the sex tape taken off the Internet, but authorities say once a video like that is posted in multiple places, it can be nearly impossible -- and very costly -- to take down. Websites are rarely held legally accountable for hosting videos. Usually only the person who posts them is.
Hicks' daughter, Pamela, 16, is now watching her mother try to rebuild their lives. Soraida Hicks has changed her name, which ABC News is withholding. She is weeks into a new job.
"My mom didn't give up ... and I'm so proud of her, and I love her so much," Pamela Hicks said.
For Kathleen Stimon, the money, sex tape and cyber harassment weren't the biggest blow.
"He'd been weaving quite a web of lies and deceit with me for many, many months," she said. "That was the betrayal and was the thing that hurt the most."

at St. Francois State Park
Cast your line in the more than three miles of Big River that flows through St. Francois State Park. Visitors should call the park office at 573-358-2173 in advance for updated river conditions. Small-mouth bass and catfish are most commonly caught. Many stretches of both Big River and Coonville Creek are shallow and easily waded, and both streams have easily-accessed banks within the park.
Two river access points in the picnic areas of the park provide convenient canoe launch points along Big River for fishing or floating. Motorized boats are not recommended due to the shallow nature of much of the river.

Many People Don't Take Their High Blood Pressure Meds: Study
Posted 7 Mar 2017 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, March 6, 2017 – Only 20 percent of patients seeking care for stubborn high blood pressure take all the medicine they're supposed to, a new Dutch study finds. "Another 20 percent are not taking any of their blood pressure medications," study senior author Dr. Peter Blankestijn said in an American Heart Association news release. As a result, patients sought care for a condition they could have addressed by simply following their doctor's orders, the findings suggested. "People mistakenly thought to have resistant hypertension – which is high blood pressure despite taking three or more medications – end up seeing specialists and undergoing extra tests because we don't understand why they are so difficult to treat," said Blankestijn. He is a professor of nephrology and hypertension at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. The researchers didn't set out to ... Read more

Hispanics, Blacks Less Likely to Get High Blood Pressure Treatment: Study
Posted 17 Jan 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Jan. 17, 2017 – Black and Hispanic Americans are less likely than whites to get high blood pressure under control, a new study suggests. Researchers reviewed data from nearly 8,800 adults who took part in the 2003-2012 U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The study team found that 74 percent of white patients were getting treatment for high blood pressure. For blacks, the treatment rates were slightly lower at 71 percent. For Hispanics, the high blood pressure treatment rate was only 61 percent. Researchers also looked at high blood pressure control rates, defined as readings below 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for those with diabetes or chronic kidney disease, and below 140/90 mm Hg for everyone else. Control rates were 43 percent for whites, 37 percent for blacks and 31 percent for Hispanics, the study reported. Black and Hispanics younger than 60 ... Read more

High Blood Pressure May Not Be All Bad in the Elderly: Study
Posted 17 Jan 2017 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Jan. 17, 2017 – Developing high blood pressure in very old age may provide some protection from dementia, a new study suggests. In middle age, high blood pressure – also called hypertension – boosts dementia risk later in life, said study lead researcher Maria Corrada. It also raises your risk for heart attack and stroke. But its onset in the eighth or ninth decade of life was linked to lower risk of mental decline in one's 90s, her team found. "Hypertension in the very old is not detrimental for mental health," said Corrada, a professor of neurology and epidemiology at the University of California, Irvine. Several factors may help explain the apparent association between late-life high blood pressure and lower dementia risk, Corrada said. For one, as people age, blood pressure may need to increase to keep blood flowing to the brain for normal functioning. "It's a matter of ... Read more

Medical Groups Raise Blood Pressure Rx Threshold for Healthy Adults Over 60
Posted 17 Jan 2017 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Jan. 16, 2017 – Two leading medical organizations are recommending a less aggressive target for the treatment of high blood pressure in adults 60 and older who are otherwise healthy. Traditionally, the threshold for high blood pressure has been set at 140 mmHg systolic blood pressure (the top number in a reading). But the new guideline says doctors should now begin treatment when adults 60 and older have persistent systolic blood pressure that's at or above 150 mmHg, to reduce their risk of heart problems, stroke and death. A less aggressive target like this offers a suitable balance of benefits and potential harms for these patients, according to the new guideline from the American College of Physicians (ACP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). Any additional benefit from more aggressive treatment is small, the groups say. Doctors specializing in the cardiac ... Read more

Yoga Called Good Medicine for High Blood Pressure
Posted 8 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Dec. 8, 2016 – Yoga may help reduce blood pressure in people who are at risk for developing hypertension, a new study finds. "Patients with pre-hypertension [slightly elevated blood pressure] are likely to develop hypertension [high blood pressure] unless they improve their lifestyle," said study author Dr. Ashutosh Angrish. He is a cardiologist at Sir Gangaram Hospital in Delhi, India. "Both pre-hypertension and high blood pressure increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure," Angrish added. The new study included 60 people who had slightly elevated blood pressure but were otherwise healthy. The participants were randomly assigned to either practice hatha yoga while also making conventional lifestyle changes, or to just make the lifestyle changes (the "control" group). The lifestyle changes included moderate aerobic exercise, eating a healthier diet and ... Read more

Normal Blood Pressure in Clinic May Mask Hypertension
Posted 5 Dec 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Dec. 5, 2016 – It's commonly believed that anxiety in the doctor's office causes patients' blood pressure to rise. But for some people, the opposite occurs: Their blood pressure is normal at their medical appointment but elevated the rest of the day. This phenomenon is called "masked hypertension." The best way to uncover it is to wear a small monitoring device for 24 hours, researchers said. For this new study, the researchers had almost 900 healthy, middle-aged patients do just that. The result: Almost 16 percent who had "normal" blood pressure at the clinic learned otherwise after around-the-clock monitoring. "In working individuals who are not being treated for hypertension [high blood pressure], our data show that ambulatory blood pressure is usually higher than clinic blood pressure," said lead researcher Joseph Schwartz. He is a professor of psychiatry and sociology at ... Read more

High Blood Pressure Rates Have Doubled Worldwide Since 1975
Posted 16 Nov 2016 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 16, 2016 – The number of people worldwide with high blood pressure has nearly doubled over the past 40 years, a new study reveals. At the same time, average blood pressure levels are at an all-time low in the United States and other developed nations, the researchers said. "High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for stroke and heart disease, and kills around 7.5 million people worldwide every year. Most of these deaths are experienced in the developing world," said study author Majid Ezzati, a professor at Imperial College, London in England. "Taken globally, high blood pressure is no longer a problem of the Western world or wealthy countries. It is a problem of the world's poorest countries and people," Ezzati added. The overall number of people with high blood pressure ("hypertension") rose from 594 million in 1975 to more than 1 billion in 2015, due to ... Read more

Sharp Drop in Blood Pressure After Rx May Be Risky for Some Heart Patients
Posted 15 Nov 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Nov. 14, 2016 – In some people with high blood pressure, too-steep drops in blood pressure after drug therapy may actually raise their risk of premature death, preliminary findings suggest. Researchers led by Dr. Peter Okin, of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, tracked data on nearly 8,000 non-diabetic adults who had high blood pressure. The researchers first looked at patients who had systolic blood pressure (the upper number in a reading) of 164 mm Hg or higher before treatment. Patients who reduced that number to less than 142 mm Hg during treatment were 32 percent more likely to die during the study period than those who lowered it to 152 mm Hg or more during treatment, the findings showed. But the scenario was different if systolic blood pressure was below 164 mm Hg before treatment, according to the report. In these cases, when drug treatment lowered systolic blood ... Read more

'White Coat' High Blood Pressure May Signal Trouble in Older People
Posted 31 Oct 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Oct. 31, 2016 – So-called "white coat hypertension" is mostly harmless, but in some older people it may indicate a risk for heart disease, a new study suggests. White coat hypertension refers to high blood pressure readings in a doctor's office or other medical setting in people who typically have normal blood pressure. This study included 653 people with white coat hypertension and 653 with normal blood pressure. All of the study volunteers were followed for more than 10 years. During that time, there was no difference in the number of new heart problems in either group for people younger than 60. However, among 92 people aged 60 and older, there were 18 more new heart problem cases among those with white coat hypertension than in those without, according to researchers, led by Dr. Stanley Franklin from University of California, Irvine. Franklin's team said the findings ... Read more

Tighter Blood Pressure Control Could Save 100,000 U.S. Lives: Study
Posted 15 Sep 2016 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Sept. 15, 2016 – Engaging Americans at high risk for heart disease in aggressive efforts to lower their blood pressure could save more than 100,000 lives a year, a new analysis indicates. Current guidelines recommend a systolic pressure – the top number in a blood pressure reading – of below 140 mm Hg. But a 2015 study from the U.S. National Institutes of Health suggested more lives could be saved if the goal was less than 120 mm Hg. The NIH trial known as SPRINT included adults aged 50 and older with systolic readings of 130 to 180 mm Hg and at high risk of heart disease (but not diabetes or stroke). They had either intensive treatment, with a goal of lowering systolic pressure to less than 120 mm Hg, or standard treatment, with a target of less than 140 mm Hg. The results were so impressive that the NIH halted the trial early. Risk of death from all causes was 27 percent ... Read more

Physically Demanding Job, High Blood Pressure a Bad Mix for Women
Posted 15 Feb 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Feb. 15, 2016 – Having a physically demanding job and high blood pressure may triple a woman's risk of heart disease, a new study contends. Researchers looked at more than 12,000 female nurses in Denmark, and found that those with high blood pressure and highly active jobs were much more likely to develop heart disease than those with normal blood pressure and moderately active jobs. "Previous research has shown that men and women with physically demanding jobs have an increased risk of heart disease," said study author Karen Allesoe, a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern Denmark. "The two risk factors appear to work together, resulting in an even greater incidence of heart disease," Allesoe said. "To our knowledge, this has not been shown before among women." However, the study only showed an association for heart disease risk, not a cause-and-effect relationship. The ... Read more

New Blood Pressure Guidelines a Danger to Patients: Study
Posted 1 Feb 2016 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Feb. 1, 2016 – Scientists continue to debate when doctors should prescribe blood pressure medication for older Americans, with a new study saying delayed treatment puts people at greater risk of stroke. For people 60 and older, a U.S. panel in 2014 recommended raising the blood pressure rate at which doctors prescribe treatment from 140 to 150 systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the top number in a blood pressure reading. But the new study finds that people with systolic blood pressure of 140 to 149 have a 70 percent increased risk of stroke compared to people with lower blood pressure. "Our study shows the borderline group is probably as risky as having a blood pressure greater than 150, at least for stroke risk," said senior author Dr. Ralph Sacco, chair of neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "This was a controversial move, and I ... Read more

More Support for Lower Blood Pressure Goals
Posted 9 Dec 2015 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 9, 2015 – Intensive treatment to lower blood pressure below currently recommended levels reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and kidney disease, a new study shows. Effective blood pressure goals have been the subject of much recent scientific debate, with another recent study also supporting lower targets. For this study, researchers analyzed data from 19 clinical trials that included nearly 45,000 people. They wanted to assess the potential benefits and safety of pushing systolic blood pressure in high-risk patients below the current target of 140. Systolic is the top number in a blood pressure reading. Compared to those who received standard treatment, average systolic pressure was 6.8 lower and diastolic blood pressure was 4.5 lower in patients who received more intensive treatment – 133.2/76.4 ...

Heart Disease Doesn't Take a Holiday
Posted 25 Nov 2015 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 25, 2015 – People with heart disease should take a number of precautions if they travel over the Thanksgiving holiday, an expert suggests. The first step is to be as well-prepared on your trip as you are at home, said Dr. Winston Gandy Jr., a cardiologist at Piedmont Heart Institute in Atlanta. "Make sure when you travel that you have your medicine," Gandy said in an American Heart Association news release. Some people carry a copy of their original prescriptions in case they lose their medications, but having a list of your medications and your cardiologist's phone number should be sufficient. It's also a good idea to tell your cardiologist where you'll be. "Chances are your cardiologist is going to know someone there, either personally or by reputation," who can provide you with help if needed, Gandy said. Research medical facilities at your destination, and know what ... Read more

Prescription Drug Use on the Rise in U.S.
Posted 3 Nov 2015 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 3, 2015 – More Americans than ever are taking prescription drugs and they're using more of them, a new study finds. Fifty-nine percent of adults used prescription drugs in 2011-2012, up from 51 percent in 1999-2000. And 15 percent of them took five or more prescription drugs, an increase from 8 percent in the earlier period, the researchers reported. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins), antidepressants and high blood pressure medications saw especially notable jumps in usage, the study found. "We wanted to create a comprehensive resource on prescription drug use among U.S. adults, and I think that the implications of these trends vary across classes of drugs," said lead researcher Elizabeth Kantor, who was with the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston at the time of the study. Kantor said an increase in one drug class may mean more people are getting treated for a ... Read more

Park City set to host community night for Latinos
September 4, 2012Author: Satl Lake Tribune
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54827558-78/community-park-district-latino.html.cspA back-to-school night at McPolin Elementary School in Park City will have the usual information booths about after-school programs and other community activities as children get set to hit the books for another academic year.
But also on this year's agenda: A mariachi band, games, snacks and activities targeted at the school district's booming Latino population.
In conjunction with the United Way of Salt Lake, McPolin Elementary and the Park City School District on Thursday will host a community night for Latino parents, designed to better connect them with their children's education.
Parents will learn more about school programs, family literacy programs and extra-curricular activities available through the school district and a local community learning center.
A health booth will offer flu shots and information on how families can gain access to health care providers, including enrollment in CHIP, the Children's Health Insurance Program.
"The goal is to make parents feel comfortable and engaged so they will support the school, and encourage their kids to get good grades," said Isabel Rojas, the United Way's community collaborations director for Park City, in a news release.
The school district, home to roughly 4,400 students in kindergarten through 12th grade, has seen its demographics change dramatically over the past decade.
In 2004, Latino students comprised 11 percent of the district's student population, with 470 of the district's 4,212 students identifying as Latino.
Last year, the district reported 831 Latino students, who made up 19 percent of the student population. That marks a 77 percent increase from 2004 to 2012 in the number of Latino students who call Park City home, said Patrick Ogden, the district's information specialist.
A changing population means more outreach events like this week's community night for Latino parents, which is part of the United Way's Promise Park City Initiative. The project aims to work with Park City community members to develop goals for children and families in the area. Programs are offered at 22 community learning centers in the region, where people can access educational programs, social services, health resources and other assistance.
Thursday's community night starts at 3:45 p.m. at McPolin Elementary, 2270 Kearns Blvd., in Park City.

Multicultural Competency Staff Development Opportunities
It is noted that the greater the level of multicultural competence of Student Affairs staff, the greater will be their ability to have long term impact on the quality of their leadership, advocacy, policy review & writing, recruitment, selection & retention of diverse staff, setting multicultural competency expectations for direct reports and establishing multicultural competency training opportunities with expected outcomes.
Further, as the above goal is accomplished, it is expected that there will be an increase in the number of Student Affairs professionals who contribute to the field of multiculturalism through their scholarly work, professional writing, or presentations that reflects upon their commitment to diversity and multiculturalism in Student Affairs and to Wright State as a transformative individual and collective process; overtime.

The Register of Deeds is elected by the people for a four-year term and is responsible for providing the proper and safe repository of deeds and other instruments affecting property or personal status (for example, birth certificates). The Register of Deeds reports to the County Manager and Board of County Commissioners after his/her election. If a vacancy should occur in the office, the Board of Commissioners appoints a successor for the unexpired term.
It is the duty of the Register to record and index all real estate deeds, plats and maps, deeds of trust, mortgages, financial statements, conditional sale agreements, and other personal property. Because these records are so important, they are kept in vaults in the courthouse.
In addition to the preceding duties, other papers are recorded and indexed, such as discharge certificates of persons who have served in the armed forces. Moreover, cancellations of mortgages, involving real and personal property, and cancellations of other claims previously recorded are entered on the recorded copies of the mortgages and claims. Finally, the Register of Deeds assists the public in finding records in which they are interested and makes certified copies of deeds, instruments, and other papers upon request.
The Register of Deeds is responsible for issuing marriage licenses and is also required to record and index marriage licenses as well as birth and death certificates and legitimizing children.
Persons offering deeds and other instruments for recording, or otherwise using the services of the Register of Deeds, are charged fees for the services. These fees are much larger than the operating budget for the office and thus provide revenues for the General Fund. Please call 704-862-7687 for further information.

"Sure, you expressed my anal glands the last time I was here," they seem to think, "put you rubbed my ears afterwards so you can't be all bad."
What is an owner to do when a pet really despises going to the vet? I once had a patient, a sheltie, that had a seizure every time he walked through my clinic doors. His owners swore they had never seen him seize under any other circumstances. We could only assume that his stress level was so high that it brought about the seizures. No more clinic visits for him; it was house calls from then on.
If you find yourself under similar circumstances — maybe not the seizures but the stress — talk to your veterinarian about the possibility of a house call. Some brick and mortar veterinary practices will be able to accommodate the request. If not, look for a veterinarian who specializes in house call practice.
All house call veterinarians are not the same, however. Some travel in virtual "clinics on wheels." They can perform routine surgeries, take X-rays, and offer almost anything that can be done in a general practice while they are parked in front of your house. The upside of this option is that it does not severely limit your options for care. On the other hand, mobile clinics do still have the unmistakable ambiance of a veterinary hospital, and cats still have to get in the dreaded carrier to safely make the trip into the vehicle.
Other house call vets travel light. They show up with black bag (or its equivalent) in hand and perform all their services within the home. This is definitely the least stressful option for pets, and is ideal when an individual is truly terrified of veterinary visits. It is important that you confine cats or small dogs before the vet arrives. Having to spend the majority of the appointment trying to find the patient and then extricate him or her from under the bed kind of defeats the purpose.
Most routine veterinary care can easily be performed by a house call vet, including:
physical examinations
health certificates
weight management
diagnosing and treating behavioral concerns
nail trims (including sedation if necessary)
fecal parasite testing
standard blood work
needle biopsies
monitoring chronic medical conditions
hospice care
If you have a herd of animals in your home or have difficulty getting around yourself, having a vet come to you makes a lot of sense, too. House call veterinarians also tend to have more flexible schedules than do veterinary clinics, so if you are in need of a weekend or evening appointment, a mobile vet may be more available. And because most of these veterinarians are not part of large practices, you usually see the same person at each appointment, which is an added benefit if you like having a personal relationship with your doctors.
Some veterinary cases do require the services of a full service hospital, however. A house call is not the best choice if you are dealing with an acute medical crisis where the likelihood of needing advanced diagnostics, surgery, and/or hospitalization is high. But, don't let this scare you off from using a mobile veterinarian for your routine care. Simply make sure you pick a doctor who has the ability to refer more complicated cases to a nearby clinic. Ideally, your mobile vet will be able to remain involved in your pet's care, which really gives you the best of both worlds.

I wonder...?Reader comment on: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel: An Islamic Prophecy Submitted by Max Modine, Jan 29, 2013 22:49 With the assumption this writer is a Muslim, I am impressed with his knowledge of history and reality, and also his rational perspective of the causes and maintenance of the issues between Islam/Muslims and Israel/ Jews; yet I am perplexed by his effusive salutations of Muhammad, a murdering, sadistic, paedophile ("Peace and the blessing of Allah be upon him: sallal laahu alaihi wasallam"). There seems to be at least a portion of that element of his being that produces rational thought, infected with the disease of delusion and denial inherent in most Muslims.
