She is one of two players to break par at Briggs Ranch Golf Club on first day of qualifying October 5, 2012 By Michael Trostel, USGA

San Antonio – Dawn Woodard, 38, of Greer, S.C., birdied three of her first six holes en route to carding a 3-under-par 69 during the first round of stroke-play qualifying Saturday at the 2012 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur at Briggs Ranch Golf Club.

Woodard was one of two players among the field of 132 to break par on the 6,072-yard Tom Fazio layout.

Lucy Nunn, 25, of Lexington, Ky., had the other sub-par round, shooting a 71 in the morning wave. She is one stroke in front of a quartet of golfers: Robin Burke, of Houston; Mariko Makabe, of Irvine, Calif.; Tobi Herron, of Columbus, Ind.; and Mercedes Huarte, of Argentina.

The U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur, for female golfers 25 years of age and older, is one of 13 national championships conducted annually by the United States Golf Association, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.

The championship consists of two rounds of stroke play, with the low 64 scorers advancing to match play beginning on Monday. The 18-hole championship match is scheduled for Thursday morning.

Partly sunny skies and relatively calm winds allowed for ideal scoring conditions, but a layout featuring tree-lined fairways, undulating greens and knee-high rough in some areas challenged the players.

The championship started especially well for Andrea Kraus, of Baltimore, Md., the first player off the 10th tee. The 52-year-old who is playing in her 23rd individual USGA championship, holed out for an eagle-2 at the 352-yard 10th hole with a 9-iron from 120 yards. She finished with a 2-over 74.

Woodard also got off to a fast start, opening her round with consecutive birdies, from 20 feet on No. 1 and 7 feet on No. 2.

That made it easier to settle in and relax, just play golf, said Woodard, who hit 13 of 14 fairways and made five birdies. You’ve got to put the ball in play here. There aren’t many places you can miss the green and have an easy up and down.

Woodard is no stranger to success at the Women’s Mid-Am. She was the qualifying medalist in 2006 and 2007 and reached the quarterfinals in 2007 and 2009. This year she hopes to take the next step.

You always learn something from your matches – good or bad, said Woodard. At a certain point, we’re all just as good as the next player. It just comes down to who gets it done. It’s a matter of having that positive mindset and believing you can get it done.

Nunn started her round with 10 consecutive pars before making a birdie at the reachable 454-yard par-5 11th hole. She traded a bogey on No. 15 with a birdie at the 16th hole and collected pars at 17 and 18 for the 71.

I played solidly and finally capitalized on the back nine, said Nunn, an Oklahoma-native who is now an assistant golf coach at the University of Kentucky. The conditions were great – it was hot and windy, just like home.

Nunn regained her amateur status this past June and qualified for the 2012 U.S. Women’s Amateur at The Country Club in Cleveland. She also received a few good-luck videos from her Kentucky players prior to teeing off.

That really got the day off to a good start, said Nunn. It was a few inside jokes that made me laugh. They’re all excited that I’m here.

Nunn will join her team in North Carolina next week for a collegiate tournament, but it was an event last October that gave Nunn a decided advantage on Saturday. Nunn walked four rounds at Briggs Ranch when the Wildcats played in a tournament hosted by the University of Texas at San Antonio.

I think it helped quite a bit, said Nunn. Seeing a course more than one time, you get a little more comfortable with it.

Playing in the same group as Nunn, Makabe nearly matched her lowest competitive 18-hole score of 69, but she bogeyed three of her last four holes to post 72.

Burke had never played at Briggs Ranch until this week despite living just three hours from this week’s championship site. Starting on No. 10, she made five birdies against three bogeys and a double bogey. She birdied both par-3s on the outward nine (Nos. 3 and 8) and added another birdie at the fourth hole for a closing 3-under 33.

I hit some irons close on my last few holes, said Burke, a member of the 1998 USA Curtis Cup Team. All my birdie putts were within 10 feet.

Defending champion Ellen Port, 51, of St. Louis, Mo., vying to win her second USGA championship in less than a month, carded a 4-over 76. In September, Port won the USGA Senior Women’s Amateur at Hershey (Pa.) Country Club. If she won this week, she would be the third female to win multiple USGA championships in the same year, joining Pearl Sinn (1988 Women’s Amateur and Women’s Amateur Public Links) and Jennifer Song (2009 Women’s Amateur and WAPL).

I just felt a little sluggish today and came out flat, said Port, who bogeyed her first three holes. A lot of things can go haywire at this course if you get in some bunkers or bad spots.

Kelley Nittoli, the only local player in the field, birdied her last hole for a 3-over 75. Nittoli, the wife of the director of golf at San Antonio Country Club, Jim Nittoli, qualified for the championship last month in Houston. She was playing her first competitive round in nearly two decades. Nittoli, 49, played on the LPGA Tour in 1987, but lost her card after one year.

Martha Leach, the 2009 champion from Hebron, Ky., opened with a 1-over 73, while three-time champion Meghan Stasi, of Oakland Park, Fla., had a 74.

The 2012 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur is the 28th USGA championship to be held in Texas. The Women’s Mid-Am was last held in the Lone Star State seven years ago at Shadow Hawk Golf Club in Richmond.

The second round of stroke play is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. CDT on Sunday.

Course Consulting Service Provides Expertise, Cost Savings June 28, 2016 | SAN JOSE, CALIF. By Josh Sens

USGA agronomist Brian Whitlark works with golf facilities to improve efficiencies and sustainability. (USGA/Steven Gibbons)

The grass, it turns out, isn’t always greener. Sometimes it wilts from thirst, or browns out from disease, or chokes in undernourished soil.

Other times it doesn’t grow at all.

On a recent sun-splashed morning, an hour south of San Francisco, Don Paul knelt beside a bald spot on the closing hole of Los Lagos Golf Course, the municipal layout in San Jose where he has served as superintendent since 2001.

It was midweek, shoulder season, but Los Lagos was doing its usual brisk business. The first group of the day was coming up No. 18.

Paul waved the foursome through, then gazed back at the grass-less patch of ground beneath him, a stubborn exception on an otherwise lush fairway.

“This has been a trouble spot,” he said.

Standing beside him were Pat Gross and Brian Whitlark of the USGA.

“Let’s see what we’ve got here,” said Whitlark, a USGA Green Section agronomist who is based in Arizona.

He plunged a metal probe into the earth and pulled up a long cross-section of soil. As he suspected, the underlying layers were dark and pasty, signs of oxygen deprivation.

Using a second probe, Whitlark took a second reading.

“You’ve got an EC of almost 9,” he said.

Translation: elevated saline levels, an unhappy consequence, in part, of relentlessly dry weather, and another impediment to healthy growth.

Problem diagnosed.

But what about the cure?

“Have you thought about patching it over with bermudagrass?” Whitlark asked, suggesting a hardier alternative to the existing fairway ryegrass.

Paul nodded. Yet another item on his to-do list.

Photos: An Inside Look at a Course Consulting Service Visit

Golfers take these truths to be self-evident: that teeing grounds should be level; fairways verdant; greens championship-pure and smooth. But they also take for granted how such conditions come about. The healthy and groomed surfaces that players have come to expect are the result of countless hours of labor and tough decision-making, from battles with everything from Mother Nature to trampling cart traffic and strict budgetary constraints. The tireless work falls largely to the game’s unsung heroes: superintendents and their crews. But the tasks are often more than even they can handle.

That’s where the USGA comes in.

Through the efforts of its Green Section, which was founded in 1920, golf’s governing body is long established as one of the world’s leading agencies devoted to course maintenance, management and sustainability. The legacy that Gross, Whitlark and their regional agronomist colleagues uphold dates to 1953, when the Green Section began providing an on-site Turf Advisory Service to golf courses across the country. That program evolved into the USGA Course Consulting Service, which brings expanded offerings and expertise to meet the ever-shifting needs of golf course owners and operators.

Every year, through the Course Consulting Service, USGA agronomists visit more than 1,200 courses from coast to coast, working in concert with those facilities on issues that affect playability, operational efficiency and environmental sustainability. Seasoned consultants untethered to any outside commercial interests, USGA agronomists also serve as unbiased sounding boards and support systems. They’re on hand to lend an ear as well an informed opinion, and to help build consensus on critical decisions among key golf course personnel. The cost of a visit is typically repaid many times over in the resulting savings on labor, equipment and materials.

“These guys see more courses and keep up with the latest science in ways that I never possibly could,” Paul said. “I know I can trust their recommendations, and that I can count on their support when I have to go to my bosses and tell them the things that we really ought to do.”

As a man tasked with caring for a city-owned course, Paul faces a host of challenges that ring familiar at municipal layouts everywhere. Among them: a modest budget and a high volume of play. Throw in California’s recent devastating drought, which has ravaged even deep-pocketed facilities throughout the state, and the last few years have not been easy.

With guidance from Gross and Whitlark, Paul has weathered the trying times and kept Los Lagos in laudable condition, all the while looking toward the future. He has drawn up plans to remove a modest area of irrigated turf as a water-saving measure, and implemented more aggressive aeration and topdressing programs to promote robust fairways and greens.

“It may sound simple, but at a lot of busy courses, the inclination is often to say let’s do less of this or that, either to cut costs or to avoid inconveniencing golfers,” Whitlark said. “So that’s often one of our take-home messages: these cultural practices are important, and you really want to take the long-term view.”

Late morning had given way to early afternoon, but Whitlark, Gross and Paul were still hard at it, walking the entire layout in reverse. As they strolled and chatted, other issues surfaced in their conversation. The bunkers, for instance. There are 45, in total, on the par-68 Los Lagos course; ideally, Paul said, he’d like to remove roughly half of them, partly to reduce maintenance costs but also to improve pace of play. Gross and Whitlark didn’t disagree.

“So much of it comes down to priorities,” said Gross, the regional director of the USGA Green Section’s West Region. “You can come up with a wish list, but you also have to consider what you might realistically get done.”

More: How CCS visits can improve pace of play

As the two USGA agronomists saw it, there was room for even more ambitious turf removal. Up to 10 additional irrigated acres could be torn up, specifically around the tees. The project would take time and money, as well as a more targeted sprinkler system.

“But when you look at the long-term benefits, it’s pretty much a no-brainer,” Whitlark said.

They were at the fifth hole now, a par 3 with a small, distressed patch at the front of its green. The likely culprit: a clogged drainpipe.

It was something to be dealt with, but not today. A more pressing topic was the fairways. Whitlark brought up bermudagrass again, a sturdy, drought and salt-tolerant turf that he believed was better suited to Los Lagos than ryegrass, given the climate and the crowded tee sheets. The bermudagrass could be introduced in strips, and within a year or two, it would take over on its own, a natural transition to a more sustainable strain.

Paul nodded agreement, looking pensive. In his line of work, there was always something. He was still absorbed in thought a short while later when a group of three golfers ambled by, pulling their clubs on trolleys on their way to the green. Paul looked up and waved. The golfers waved back, one of them shouting out a salutation that sounded even sweeter than a well-struck drive.

“Course is looking great!” he said.

A Championship of Firsts as Mid-Am Descends on Stonewall September 6, 2016 | Elverson, Pa. By Brian DePasquale, USGA

Stonewall, site of this year's U.S. Mid-Amateur, will offer competitors a stern challenge in a rustic setting. (USGA/Fred Vuich)

U.S. Mid-Amateur Home

It is almost time for the 36th U.S. Mid-Amateur at Stonewall, located 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, and this year’s edition of the championship will see a few notable firsts.

Stonewall’s Old and North Courses, designed by Tom Doak on more than 400 acres of a former dairy farm filled with Pennsylvania fieldstone walls and near the grounds of American Revolutionary War encampments, will play host to its first USGA championship. Typically in the Mid-Am, two courses are used for the 36 holes of stroke play and, once the field of 264 is cut to 64 for match play, only one of the courses is used the rest of the way.

But this year, in another first, the 36-hole final match will be conducted on both courses, with the morning round on the North, which opened in 2003, and the afternoon round on the Old (1993). And finally, a national audience will be able to view the U.S. Mid-Amateur for the first time when FS1 televises the final two days of the championship on Wednesday and Thursday, September 14 and 15.

Two players who know about firsts are defending U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Sammy Schmitz and reigning U.S. Senior Amateur winner Chip Lutz. Both players relied on previous experiences to become first-time USGA champions.

Lutz, a 61-year-old who grew up 20 miles from Stonewall in the city of Reading, Pa., was near but far to his goal when he reached the U.S. Senior Amateur semifinal round three times in a four-year period, from 2010-13. He once shot the equivalent of a 66 in a semifinal and lost. But he finally broke through last year when he defeated two USGA champions on his way to the title.

“I only could hope that one day I could finish this off and I had that good fortune,” said Lutz, an attorney for an insurance agency who is one of two players to have won the U.S., British and Canadian Senior Amateurs. “I have not received the kind of attention and accolades that I have from winning a USGA event.”

Lutz also claimed a love and affinity for Stonewall. “I couldn’t be more thrilled; I couldn’t be happier to have the exemption to play here.”

In last year’s U.S. Mid-Amateur final, Schmitz fought off the memory of losing after being 3 up with three holes to play in a Minnesota state amateur match-play tournament. On the 33rd hole, he played a cut with his driver into the wind. He watched his ball land on a two-tiered green, and roll off the slope to record the second known ace on a par 4 in USGA amateur competition.

“I am not going to screw it up this time,” said Schmitz, who had a quick reaction but then tried to keep his emotions in check. “That was my mindset.”

The hole-in-one put him 3 up with three holes remaining, and he made a two-putt par on the next hole to clinch the 3-and-2 victory.

“It was a whirlwind of emotions,” said Schmitz, who works in the healthcare industry. “I was the most satisfied that a guy can be on the golf course.”

Chances are Schmitz and the rest of the mid-amateurs in the field will have their expectations met when they converge on Stonewall for the first time this weekend, ready to put their considerable championship experience to the test once again.

Concord - Garage Door Repair | SAME DAY SERVICE | 925-808-7924

Concord is the largest city in Contra Costa County, California, with a population well over 120,000. There are several historical sites in the area, and the climate is mild in both winter and summer. The annual jazz festival attracts visitors from afar. The many commuters to the Bay Area can benefit from the services of a Concord garage door company.

Springs are what keeps a garage door from being too heavy to lift. Extension springs are mostly used for small or old garage doors, are found on either side of the door. These springs are required by California law to have a containment cable to protect brave homeowners who attempt this repair themselves. Torsion springs, located above the door in larger and newer garages, are incredibly dangerous to repair or adjust. To avoid serious injury or death, please contact a Concord garage door service for help with a broken torsion spring.

Those with a long commute appreciate the convenience of an electric garage door opener. Belt drives are the quietest and least likely to wake a sleeping baby in the house, these are manufactured by Marantec, Sears Craftsman, Chamberlain, and Liftmaster. Genie makes screw drive motors that will work almost forever without maintenance. For those on a budget, chain drives are the cheapest kind of garage door openers. Ask a local Concord garage door company for help deciding which opener will best fit your household.

Proper lubrication will keep your garage door opening smoothly and properly for years to come. About four times a year, apply a thin coat of lightweight oil to the moving parts. Spray oil works best for this. Check with a Concord garage door repair company for help with more extensive maintenance, such as spring adjustments.

After a long commute, a remote control for the garage door opener is a huge relief. For densely populated areas, rolling code systems like Genie Intellicode, Clicker, and Liftmaster Security are the safest. A static code system like Multi Code is a more affordable option for those with few neighbors or additional security.

In a busy neighborhood, garage door safety sensors help keep kids, pets, and property safe. Infrared sensors or photo eye sensors maintain a beam between two sensors beneath the garage door. If the beam is broken, the door will not close. If the door is closing and the beam is broken or the door contacts an object, it will automatically reverse direction.

Garage door replacement is one of the biggest and most complicated home repairs, especially when the job needs to be completed in a single day. A local Concord garage door service will know the area and can do the job efficiently. Avoid being oversold a garage door, with such mild winters here, you don't need a super-insulated steel door. Wood, aluminum, and glass doors are a great option and can change the look of your whole property.

There are some garage door repairs you can attempt yourself. To repair a door that is off the track or a broken emergency release, make sure to round up a few friends to help. If you choose to install weather stripping or rubber on the bottom of the door, be prepared for a frustrating task. Most homeowners aren't equipped to replace a single damaged section of a door without damaging nearby sections. Calling a garage door repair company in Concord may be your best option.

If your garage door has suddenly become immensely heavy on one side, you may have a cable problem. Cables can become loose or slip off the drum at the top of the door, or even break. If the door no longer opens smoothly, the track may be bent. You can try straightening it by hitting it with a hammer if you are patient. If you are determined to do it yourself, you can fix a lot of these problems. However, a professional garage door company in Concord can do the job quickly and easily without making the mistakes in track replacement and cable adjustment that often result from home repairs.

Celebrating University of Wyoming Staff

Celebrating University of Wyoming Staff

Endowments are created for a variety of reasons, but more often than not, their focus is to support student scholarships, faculty, or research—whatever the donor wishes to support. But that is not the limit for what endowments can do.  Some donors create endowments to honor the staff that supports the university, faculty, and students.Staff Appreciation

Endowments provide a firm foundation of assets that are held in perpetuity, the interest of which creates a steady stream of funding for those purposes chosen by the donor. This reliable income allows the university to plan and budget effectively.

No matter why endowments are created, their purpose is clear: to make sure the University of Wyoming has the means necessary to be a spectacular land-grant university that gives students opportunities to become critical thinkers and leaders.  By supporting the staff that supports the university, these endowments accomplish that goal.

On April 5, 2016, the UW Staff Senate held their annual Staff Recognition Day, which is also supported by the UW Office of the President. Staff Recognition Day encourages and acknowledges the work of all UW staff members.  Dozens of employees were honored for their years of service and contributions to UW.

Two of the awards that were given at the event have been sponsored by donors who created endowments.  These include the Jodi K. Humphrey Inspirational Staff Award and the E. G. Meyer Family Staff Recognition Award.

The Jodi K. Humphrey Inspirational Staff award was established in 1995 to honor and remember the long-time Department of Residence Life and Dining Services employee.  It was originally established as a plaque to recognize a job well done.  However, a private donor created an endowment in 2011 that allows the recipient to also receive a cash award.  The selection criteria include a staff member who inspires others to do their best, remains positive under stressful conditions, serves as a role model to others, is enthusiastic toward the job, displays a cheerful attitude toward customers, and is motivating to self and others.

This year’s recipient was Trish Schumacher, office associate, senior, in the Department of Music.

“Being chosen as the recipient of this award is a tremendous honor and such a surprise,” says Trish.  “I am extremely grateful to my faculty for nominating me and for being chosen by the committee.  I have just been myself and tried to do my very best for everyone I come in contact with, and being recognized is a humbling experience.  The other individuals in the group are amazing people that make a difference daily in their departments, and I feel privileged to be among them.”

Trish has worked for UW for the past 2 years.  She is the budget coordinator and lead staff in the Music department.  Her responsibilities include all budget-related items, including paying invoices, purchasing, reconciling accounts, processing payroll, managing graduate student files, managing faculty files, processing tenure track for appropriate faculty, supervising work study students, and working closely with the department chair on department items.

She doesn’t have one favorite aspect of her job.  She enjoys the familial atmosphere in the Music department, the terrific students and faculty, and her job duties, and each day she enjoys being part of this dynamic department.

The E. G. Meyer Family Staff Recognition Award was established by Betty K. and E. Gerald Meyer in 2002 to support staff excellence.  The University of Wyoming Staff Senate makes two monetary awards, one to an exempt employee and one to a non-exempt employee.  This year’s winners of this award were Cheri Thornburg, coordinator, Sponsored Programs, and Sarah Kauer, office associate, senior, Academic and Student Programs, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

“I was very happy to win this award,” says Sarah.  “I hear the words ‘Thank you for everything’ quite often, but to have my name put into a hat for this award was really heartwarming. Knowing that your time and efforts, no matter how big or small, are being noticed is really great.”

Sarah graduated from UW in 2013 with a degree in ag business.  Previously, she was an office associate in Ecosystem Science and Management where she assisted in advising students and helped the department function on all levels. This position was a great asset in preparing her for the position she recently moved into.

Currently, she the recruitment coordinator for the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Her job entails traveling around the state to work with high school students and transfer students, getting a feel for what they want to do in the future, and helping them with the first steps to make their future plans a reality.  She says that there is nothing more rewarding than working with students.

Staff Recognition Day is an annual event honoring the hard-working staff of the University of Wyoming. It provides an opportunity to show all staff members how much they are appreciated for everything they do to keep the main UW campus and the facilities throughout the State of Wyoming functioning and providing a top-notch educational experience to thousands of students.

This event typically features door prizes, Years of Service recognition, and 20 individual staff awards given out to outstanding UW staff members.  To see a list of all winners, check out this article.

I've flown with both a 3-blade Catto and a 2-blade Aymar-Deumth (also Great American). The vibration was much less with the 3-blade, but the takeoff performance was wimpy. Since I ordered a "cruise" prop, that was probably my fault. All I know is that I was only getting 2300 RPM on takeoff and it took me 4,000' to break ground on a hot day in Denver. The big difference was the glide performance. At best glide speed my rate of descent was 1,800 fpm with the 3-blade Catto and only 200 fpm with the two blade. I have video for the non-believers.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Treatment Orange County

deep vein thrombosis treatments orange county

Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT affects about two million men & women each year.  Additionally, nearly 300,000 individuals will die each year DVT. Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition that is life-threatening and arises when one of the body’s veins, located deep in the tissue, gets an obstructed blood clot.

DVT is typically found in the lower legs, often in or around the calf muscle. However, it can appear anywhere in the body which makes the medical condition difficult to diagnose accurately. The biggest danger with deep vein thrombosis stems from the complications that are caused by the blood clot, which can be fatal and need to be taken very seriously.

Deep vein thrombosis is typically viewed in two separate phases – Acute DVT and Chronic DVT:  Acute deep vein thrombosis has the risk of moving into the lungs which may cause a pulmonary embolism.  As a result, the treatment that is most recommended for acute DVT is anticoagulation medication, otherwise known as blood thinners.  In more serious cases, where major veins are affected, a treatment that is known as catheter-directed thrombosis may be used to reopen them and re-establish blood flow.

What Are The Symptoms Of Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Determining the symptoms of DVT is the first step to diagnosing the issue.  While the symptoms can vary depending on the individual, the most common symptoms are displayed below:

Angel Investors Chime in Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor's Proposed Angel Investing Bill

Posted by Jon Dodson on Thu, Feb 24, 2011 @ 00:02 AM

Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor recently proposed a bill that would provide a 25% federal income tax credit for investing in small businesses.  You can see the details of the bill here.

We got a chance to catch up with several leaders in the startup community, both inside and outside Arkansas, and get their thoughts on Senator Pryor's bill.

"Mark Pryor’s American Opportunity Act is not only great news for investors but for the entire startup community as a whole, especially those who have a far greater chance of succeeding if they’re able to secure seed and early stage funding from local angel investors but who might be too early in stage for (or not need) funding from larger venture capital firms.   Our economic future as a country does not solely depend on the outcome and success of giant corporations who have already “made it” and those that encounter no hurdles or challenges in their earliest stages, but also in large part on that of smaller startups that provide tremendous value which may not yet be realized or have not yet made it past a prototype or minimum viable product stage.   These type of businesses and entrepreneurs are critical to our country’s economic success and are extremely important for job creation.  Mr. Pryor’s bill will help encourage investment in these types of early stage businesses and ambitious entrepreneurs, and is nothing but great news for the entire startup community."

Michael Peace, Angel Investor & Owner of JMP Consulting, LLC

"Senator Pryor's proposed legislation would have a major impact on the future of the American economy by helping to unlock billions of dollars of private capital, and direct that money into the country's entrepreneurial high tech innovation sector. There are currently over 250,000 angel investors in the US, and this legislation has the potential to double that number."

David S. Rose is CEO of Angelsoft (, the official software platform of the Angel Capital Association and the National Association of Seed and Venture Funds. Angelsoft is used by over 30,000 accredited angel investors to collaborate with over 100,000 high-tech entrepreneurs. Mr. Rose is also the founder and Chairman of New York Angels, the leading angel investor network on the East Coast, as well as an active angel investor himself who has helped to fund over 80 high tech startups.

"Most new high wage-rate job growth comes from technology-based start-ups.  Venture capital has become less available and more conservative over the past ten years as traditional exits such as IPOs are scarce at best. Senator Pryor's proposed America Opportunity Act acknowledges that early stage business creators are the critical job creators.  For early stage innovation-based business, angel investors provide the crucial risk capital available from no other conventional source.  Providing a federal equity investment incentive of 25% reduces the considerable downside risk associated with these critically important investments, such that the available investment pool should increase dramatically.  Similar programs have been available and very successful at the state level in a variety of states including Arkansas.  I applaud Senator Pryor's leadership in putting this bill forward, and I sincerely hope this measure receives broad bipartisan support.  Frankly, federal measures such as this are long, long overdue."

Jeff Amerine, PMP

"I think a tax credit for angel investing would spur entrepreneurial growth.  There are many more potential angels out there that have not yet started investing, but have the capital to do so.  The reason they're likely not investing yet is that they don't feel like they understand the process -- and if they do, they recognize that it's hard to produce a positive return as an angel investor.  A meaningful tax credit like the one proposed would likely sway many more angel investors to fund early-stage entrepreneurs."

Partnership Approach. We are a trusted advisor with a unique private owner focus.

Our Firm

Vesticor Advisors was founded on the principle that owner-operated companies in the lower middle market are unique and require specialized advice when considering strategic investment and exit opportunities. Vesticor addresses the needs of entrepreneurs, founders and shareholders of private companies with specialized services that include M&A advisory, strategic advisory and capital advisory solutions. But we are not traditional investment bankers: The Vesticor team brings a unique perspective to client engagements through our experiences as company founders, operators, investors and advisors.

Our Story

We believe that small and mid-sized businesses represent the heartbeat of our nation and the engine of growth for the U.S. economy. We share the greatest respect for those business owners who sacrifice, who challenge the odds, who have the ambition and dedication to pursue dreams others say are impossible.

We understand that building a business takes years of hard work and dedication, we have been in your shoes. After founding, building and exiting our own businesses, we came together to support other business owners in achieving their dreams for growth and expansion, or for liquidity and transition. Our passion is working with the real people and families who have dedicated their all to build great businesses, and helping to preserve legacy and to maximize the value of their life’s work.

Our Value Proposition

Focus on Founder & Owner-Operated Businesses

With our focus on lower middle market advisory, we prepare private owners and their companies for the transaction of a lifetime. We advise owners of family-owned or founder-owned businesses well before a liquidity transaction. When the time comes to execute, we work to achieve all of the objectives of private owners, serving as a trusted advisor through critical business transitions.

Execution Experience and Excellence: Smooth Processes, Successful Transactions

Vesticor professionals come with years of significant transaction experience from leading investment banks and investment firms. We have evaluated and executed some of the most complex M&A and financing transactions, delivering unmatched capabilities to our clients. In so doing, we have built a reputation for professionalism and excellence in transaction and project execution.

Deep Relationships with Industry Leaders and Centers of Influence

A robust network of deep, long-standing relationships gives Vesticor the ability to conduct valuable research, make powerful introductions, and achieve success in client engagements. Having been investors and strategic buyers ourselves, our team offers an immediate network of potential strategic and financial partners to execute superior client solutions.

We Were Operators First

Our clients’ interests always come first. This client commitment is paramount to our success and permeates everything we do. We believe that to truly advise a client on what is likely the most important transaction in their professional careers, it is essential to have been “in the driver’s seat”. We provide clients with first-hand advice to inform their most mission-critical strategic decisions, and never recommend a transaction that we wouldn’t make ourselves

Affinity Toward Entrepreneurship

Vesticor’s professionals are entrepreneurs and have a vast network of likeminded individuals. Whether at a small start-up or inside a large corporation, we know entrepreneurs often like to go it alone. At some point, however, outside assistance becomes a requisite for the success of a company’s promising ventures. We are your entrepreneurial investment bank.

Responsibly Modern

We view technology as an enabling force, when appropriate. We are proficient in the latest deal supporting technologies, and have built our own proprietary competitive intelligence and data analytics software to support client engagements. But we use technology responsibly: To maximize value for our clients, to streamline communication, to maintain confidentiality, and to make the entire M&A process more efficient and effective.

Why Clients Hire Vesticor

Experience. We have built and sold some of the fastest growing privately held companies in the country.

Honesty. We won’t tell you what we think you want to hear, just to bring you on board as a client. We know exactly what types of clients we want, and we always set the proper expectations up front. We don’t recommend a deal we wouldn’t make ourselves.

Transparency. Having you know exactly what is going on at all times is key to our communication and success plan. When you work with Vesticor, you have access to everything that we have as we proceed to a closing.

Connected. Whether looking to sell your business, raise capital or find a strategic partner, an M&A advisor should extend your network and open up new channels of communication with potential partners. The quality of our relationships allows us to meaningfully enhance your network with a simple phone call.

High-Energy. It takes a relentless amount of focus and energy to bring a deal to close, and we have a passion for this business that is unmatched. We make the process fun, and we enjoy seeing our clients succeed.

Leaders and Finishers. Supporting a client through a deal process requires leadership, and we embrace the challenge. When important decisions need to be made, and the waters get choppy (as they often do), we work through the issues and solve the problems to achieve the most successful outcomes for our clients.

Confidentiality. We understand the importance of confidentiality when it comes to representing your business to the marketplace.

Down to Earth. We take this business seriously, but you will find us very easy to work with.

Favorite Products, Tips For Permanent Hair Coloring

loreal triple protection creme

After trying Revlon, Garnier, Cover Girl and more, I stumbled onto L’Oreal Triple Protection Crème in my preferred shade of light ash brown. Three other go-to products help the color last.

It happens to all of us in time; grey hairs first start to highlight, then take over your head. But I was extra lucky – I found my first silver stands at age 16, and by age 25 my roots were well over 50%, white and wiry. I used to spend more than $100 dollars getting my hair colored by professionals, but in this economy it’s an expense I can’t afford. Yet I was worried about trying a boxed home color kit. I was ok with not having a uniquely blended shade, but less enthusiastic about losing the pre and post color care.

Looking for the right hair coloring product

Being a beauty junkie, I hit my favorite high-end stores, but to my surprise the best overall permanent color I discovered can be found at any pharmacy. After trying products from Revlon, Garnier, Cover Girl and more, I stumbled onto L’Oreal Excellence Triple Protection Color Crème in my preferred shade of light ash brown. Alone it does a great job of covering my greys and making my hair feel silky, but I want lasting healthy color so I added a few other products to my coloring regime, and together they make an arsenal almost as good as found in any salon.

I like the L’Oreal crème because it comes with a pre-treatment serum that protects damaged hair like split ends. I also appreciate the comb-like applicator that lets me really get to my roots. And, the formula is so thick I don’t stain towels.

Protecting the color

Now here’s a tip I didn’t want to get. My favorite colorist told me to wait until my hair was greasy before dyeing because the color would last longer. Well, I can go a day maybe, but after that I cave, so that where Ion’s Color Brilliance Pre-Color Treatment at under $5 a bottle comes in. It gets my hair ready to hold the color.

Once the major coloring is done I rely on Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Root Touch Up every two weeks so I can part my hair without freaking myself out in the mirror. It’s fast, easy and basic light brown matches well with most major brands in similar shades.

Finally, to keep the color shiny, not washed out, I use Aveda Color Conserve Conditioner, the most expensive product in my routine at around $20, but used twice a week, with all the rest, I get a full 10-12 weeks between recoloring. The best part? Even my own sister thinks I still go to the salon!

    I always wondered what was the best thing to get the dye off my face after I dyed my hair. I have tried baby oil,hydrogen peroxide,alcohol, and others. The stuff that got it off of my face BETTER than hydrogen peroxide was SHAVING CREAM!! Oh my gosh I just saw my husband’s shaving cream on the bathroom counter and said what the heck let my try this since it will take the paint off of a car lol. To my surprise it worked so well and the dye came right off. Anyhow you can get some for $1 at the dollar tree. Dab it on a paper towel and wet the towel. I roll the towel back because the shaving cream likes to expand all over the place. This way it gets rolled up in the paper towel. Then just dab the dyed spots until they come off. They usually come off with the first gentle swipe. Get the shaving gel that is for sensitive skin and see if there is some with aloe vera in it. This way you can be nice to your skin. Hope this helps people with getting hair dye on the skin!

Romantic sexy curls are back and we love them

The thing with romantic curls is that they’re loose and care-free, while still adding lots of body and style to your hair. Romantic curls are different from tight corkscrew curls and they are not even the same as waves.

7 tips on creating romantic curls

Using the 7 tips on creating romantic curls we are certain you’ll be ready for your next date night or let us get you ready and pamper yourself.

1. Curl in sections

It’s best to divide your hair into 3 sections: ear to ear, temple to temple, and top of the head. You will pin up the top 2 sections and start curling the “ear to ear” section first. After that section is complete, you will move on to your “temple to temple” section, and finish with the top of your head. This will give your curls more definition and texture, and will make curling much easier, especially if you have layers.

2. Watch the size of your irons

Though it’s better probably better to do romantic curls with a flat iron, you can also achieve great curls with a curling iron or waving device. (Of course, that’s what they’re for, right?) However, if you’re going to use a curling iron for romantic curls, make sure it’s a bigger barrel like a 1 1/2 ” or so. Remember, romantic curls are loose and feminine, and the bigger the barrel, the looser the curls.

3. Mousse after wash essential

Your hair will have better hold (without having crunchy curls) if you use a good quality professional mousse after washing and before drying, something like the Wella Eimi Styling range mousses perfect for the job. After it’s dry, brush through and then proceed with curling. This gives your hair a bit more hold without dealing with a lot of hard hair.

4. Please use a heat protector – your hair will thank you.

One of the key ingredients to romantic curls is soft, well maintained hair. As great as it is to use heated tools on our hair, it’s also very important to use a protection spray on our hair to protect it from the damage of heat – especially the ends. Volona have a range of heat protection sprays to assist in this vital step.

5. Take your time – do not rush

Beauty comes with a price, and the price for romantic curls is a little of your time. As you near the top of your head, you’re going to start getting tired and ready to be done, but don’t sacrifice a lovely hairstyle for a few minutes less of hairstyling. Make sure to do all your curls good, that way your hairstyle will last the entire time you’re out and if done well maybe into the next day.

6. Use your fingers

Don’t comb your curls out with your comb or brush. Instead, gently pick through your curls with your fingers and gently tousle the ends. For a more “bed-head” effect, flip your head over and give it a few shakes. At this time, you can also give yourself a bit more volume on top, gently tease the top few layers of your hair and gently comb over to smooth things up.

7. Use a good professional spray

By “good” we mean hairspray that isn’t going to freeze your curls up, glug or clump – you know what I mean. You need your hair to move freely, to bounce as you walk. Choose a light-hold hairspray – just enough to keep those curls around for a while like the new Eimi Stay Styled perfect for romantic curls. (Remember, you’ve got mousse to help it to hold if you followed tip 3.) All you need is a little. Keep your curls full of life and liberty to move around!

There you have it! Romantic curls are yours, if you follow these easy tips and you’re ready to have a blast or pamper yourself for that romantic date night with your loved one and let us romance your hair for you.

The Smartest Man in the World – A Couple Questions for Greg Proops

Greg Proops is the titular host of The Smartest Man in the World. The title, reportedly tongue-in-cheek, is telling of the amount of information one can absorb in an episode of this distinctive comedian’s podcast. There’s bygone era Hollywood trivia, obscure baseball information, and a wide array of music minutiae.

Always quick, always intimidatingly informed, and always funny, Proops has turned his finely-tuned stand-up act into a weekly, hour-long, one-man show recorded in clubs around the world.  And “Whose Line Is It Anyways?” it is not.

Interview with Greg Proops, host of The Smartest Man in the World

The Smartest Man in the World is exclusively live, a format many podcasters shy away from. But you really shine in front of a crowd. Was your decision to forgo the in-studio, Mano-y-mano format simply a logistics call or was it more calculated?

I need and want the live audience to guide and inspire me.

The Smartest Man in the World is at once non-linear and intentional. How do you prepare for a podcast/live show?

Read stories and think about what I can talk about that hopefully I have not covered all ready. And dope.

You make some of the most cogent cannabis-influenced arguments I’ve ever heard. When was the last show you did sans marijuana?

I do them all the time. But I like the left brain pull before a Proopcast.

What’s your strongest category in Trivial Pursuit?

Yikes I don’t rightly know. Obscura?

Since the podcast’s launch in 2010, I’m assuming you’ve seen your fan base expand. To what extent?

The podcast has been great in getting the young people on board which is thrilling.

How has the podcast changed you?

I love comedy again.

Heritage Village Project (Heritage Village Park)

            When pieces of historic fabric—pioneer homes of the late 1800s and early 1900s—disappeared,  Historical Society members dreamed of a heritage village to preserve these treasures for the benefit of future generations. Temporary relocation of “Cracker houses” began in 2005 when the 1930s Linzy house was moved to make way for Walmart and continued in 2008 when the Tully-McLaughlin House, within 14 days of scheduled demolition, was moved to a holding site on property near the intersection of US 319/98 in Medart where it remained for eight years.

            In 2012, Ben Boynton of Tallahassee donated nearly 40 acres on Zion Hill Road for Heritage Village Park where the Smith Creek School and the Tully-McLaughlin House are now situated.

We will be moving the Laird House to the village by July 2018.  This is an ongoing project to help preserve the heritage of Wakulla County and of  its citizens.

Smith Creek Schoolhouse

Smith Creek Schoolhouse

Circa 1904

            The late Freeman Ashmore (1908-2003) was a local historian who attended The Smith Creek School as a youngster and described it in detail in his book, Looking Back. The building, 16 feet wide by 27 feet long, was built in the remote southwestern Wakulla County community on an acre of land donated by Lorenzo Cox. It had three six foot high windows on each side, two doors in the front, one in the back, and a seven-foot porch stretched across the front with a water shelf built on one end. The original roof of cypress shingles had a steep pitch being six feet from the crown to the center of the building. Water was brought from a nearby spring and kept with a gourd dipper on the shelf. Restroom breaks had girls dismissed to the woods on one side of the school, and later, boys would go to the other side. Community schools were consolidated in the 1930s, and since then, the building has been used as a community center, a polling place during elections, and as a base for emergency services. In 2013, when an EMS tower was to be constructed, the small building was moved from Smith Creek through the national forest east on Highway 267/Bloxham Cutoff and south on US 319 to Heritage Village.

Tully-McLaughlin House

Tully-McLaughlin House

Circa 1892 – Medart

George W. Tully (1845-1927) was living on a large farm in Crawfordville in 1892 when he moved his sawmill to the “wilds” of Medart and built a “single pen” bunkhouse there to accommodate himself and his sons while they worked through the week. The Tully family’s primary residence was the now beautifully restored house at 84 Ochlockonee Street in Crawfordville which now serves a funeral home. Also in 1892, George built the Historic Wakulla County Courthouse. It was also Tully who donated land for Crawfordville Cemetery.

Later, Tully sold the Medart building to John Archie and Annie Carraway McLaughlin, who parented nine children there. McLaughlin added rooms to the original building and established a store nearby. One of their sons, Alton James “Buddy Mac,” and his wife, Sedav Raker McLaughlin, lived there for more than half a century and operated the store during that time.

            On September 10, 2014, the Tully-McLaughlin home was moved with great fanfare from Medart through the center of Crawfordville to its place in Heritage Village Park.

 Laird House

  Circa 1900
 James Bartow Laird (1874-1947) and his wife, Nellie Pearl Eubanks (1882-1953), made their home in Hilliardville. Their son Bill and his wife Clora Mae Gray Laird reared nine children in the home, the youngest of whom, Cathy Laird Roberts, donated it to Heritage Village pending relocation. With funding from a 2017-2018 Florida Historic Resources grant, relocation of the home is anticipated this year.

Alternative Names none
Sources Runoff/leaching from insecticide used on cattle, lumber, gardens
Lindane is an insecticide still used in shampoo to control lice and scabies; it is a form of hexachlorocyclohexane, a highly toxic pesticide phased out of agricultural use in the U.S.

Lindane is a white crystalline organic solid.

Most uses being restricted in 1983, lindane is currently used primarily for treating wood-inhabiting beetles and seeds. It is also used as a dip for fleas and lice on pets, and livestock, for soil treatment, on the foliage of fruit and nut trees, vegetables, timber, ornamentals and for wood protection.

Health Effects

Some people who drink water containing lindane well in excess of the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for many years could experience problems with their kidneys or liver.

EPA Data Source: Lindane

EPA Definitions:

1Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety and are non-enforceable public health goals.

Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology and taking cost into consideration. MCLs are enforceable standards.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

(TT) Treatment Technique - A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

US judge says Obama immigration action invalid

4 years 10 hours 9 minutes ago Tuesday, December 16 2014 Dec 16, 2014 December 16, 2014 2:23 PM December 16, 2014 in News
Source: Associated Press

WASHINGTON - A federal judge in Pittsburgh is declaring that President Barack Obama's recent executive actions on immigration are unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Arthur Schwab says Obama's order in November designed to spare millions living illegally in the United States from deportation amounts to "unilateral legislative action" in violation of the Constitution. Schwab issued his opinion Tuesday in a criminal case involving an immigrant here illegally from Honduras.

The administration has said the new policy does not apply to criminal cases.

Schwab's opinion puts forth some of the same arguments made by Texas and 23 other states in their challenge to Obama's actions on immigration. Schwab was appointed by President George W. Bush.

Case Western Reserve University law professor Jonathan Adler says he's skeptical that Schwab's opinion will stand.

Worcestershire Under-17s conceded a first innings lead of 126 but struck two early blows with the ball in Devon Under-17s second innings on day two of the ECB County Championship match at Sandford.

The visitors resumed on 51-2 and were bowled out for 246 with six players today scoring between 21 and 48 but no-one going onto make a major contribution.

But then Riecko Parker-Cole and Matt Davis picked up a wicket apiece during tight opening spells as Devon closed on 29-2 from 15 overs – an overall advantage of 155.

Worcestershire’s not out batsmen, Dan Holland and Zain Ul-Hassan fell victim to Sam Read for 41 and 21 respectively to leave their side on 78-4.

Alex Hinkley and Pete Clark then held the Devon attack at bay during a fifth wicket partnership of 90.

Hinkkley made 48 off 103 balls with five boundaries when he was dismissed by Sam Woodcock and at the same total Clark – 42 from 94 deliveries also with five fours – became another victim of Read.

A rain break followed shortly afterwards and when the players returned Worcestershire slipped to 198-8 before Aaron Tomson (31) and Ed Bragg (21) added 41 for the ninth wicket.

Read finished with the impressive figures of 25-8-37-4.

ONQI - The New Word in Nutrition

It stands for Overall Nutritional Quality Index and it'll do for you what the Health Check doesn't - steer you to more nutritious choices and do so with rigorous scientific underpinnings.

Developed by 12 of the world's leading nutritional experts in a manner explicitly designed to shield them from the influence of industry, ONQI is the dead-simple product of the complex algorithm developed by these experts which rates a food on a scale of 1 to 100 - the higher the number, the healthier the food.

The expert panel included Dr. David Katz co-founder and director of the CDC funded, Yale University - Griffin Hospital Prevention Research Center, Dr. Walter Willett chairman of nutrition at Harvard sine 1991 and regularly featured researcher on this blog, Dr. Rebecca Reeves past president of the American Dietetic Association, Dr. David Jenkins from my alma mater the University of Toronto and the inventor of the glycemic index and 8 others who I haven't been able to identify from the various news articles yet.

Dr. Willett had this to say at the press conference,

"Given the rising toll of nutrition-related health conditions in the U.S., in particular obesity, it is important to provide consumers with a simple standard regarding food choices that is as reliable as it is easy to understand. The ONQI is a labeling system that can help everyone make healthier choices in every food category quickly and easily"
Dr. Katz explained how ONQI works,
"People can improve their diets, and their health, both by changing the categories of foods they eat most - for example, by eating more fruits and vegetables - and by making better choices within a given category, including snack items and desserts. The ONQI is designed to do both. You can, in fact, compare apples to oranges (oranges win), or apples to marshmallows. But of more practical value you can compare one box of kid's breakfast cereal to another, cut right past all the marketing hype, and get to the truth at a glance."
