May 1st, 2017 Seattle, WA - Veteran independent rock label Tooth & Nail Records are set to launch their brand new podcast Labeled: "The Stories, Rumors & Legends of Tooth & Nail Records." Airing weekly, with episode one available to stream via iTunes this summer, Labeled takes listeners behind the scenes of one of this generation's defining indie record labels.

Led by Emery's Matt Carter and Toby Morrell as well as Aaron Lunsford of As Cities Burn, Labeled aims to set the record straight through storytelling and reporting on what really happens behind the scenes in the music industry. "I'm always blown away by the number of claims and rumors that we hear from fans," Matt Carter remarked, "This is an exploration...we have access to primary sources or even firsthand knowledge. We get to explore and share and confirm or debunk." The podcast will feature exclusive interviews with bands, managers, touring crew, producers, label employees and even Tooth & Nail Records founder and President, Brandon Ebel who said, "A record label is more than its owner and more than its staff: we're bands, families, managers, book agents, distributors, and friends. Everyone has a story. This one's ours."

 

Founded in the early 90s by Brandon Ebel, Tooth & Nail Records has become a staple in the rock world in the decade since its inception. Boasting some of the biggest names in rock - Underoath, The Almost, Mae, Anberlin - as well as dynamic rosters under imprints Solid State Records (Demon Hunter, Fit For A King, Silent Planet) and BEC Recordings (Jeremy Camp, Kutless), Tooth & Nail Records have effectively dominated the rock world and every subgenre it envelopes.  Tooth & Nail groups grace the covers of magazines like Alternative Press and receive airplay on MTV, Fuse and modern rock stations across the country, while headlining tours like Rockstar Taste Of Chaos and Vans Warped Tour and festivals like Cornerstone. "Over the years, Tooth & Nail has worked with a lot of people and a lot of people have worked at Tooth & Nail. With all of those personalities, memories are bound to be made," Ebel noted, "We're excited to share some of those with you now, from the fun ones to the lame ones, to the ones you won't believe happened."

 

Labeled: "The Stories, Rumors & Legends of Tooth and Nail is set to launch this summer. This is the first official podcast from Tooth & Nail Records and will be available for streaming via iTunes. For more information, please visit: https://labeledpodcast.com.

Findings of New Study Shows Potential Breakthrough For Determining Who’s At Risk of a Heart Attack

Findings of a new study by researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute may be a “game-changer” for determining who’s at risk of a heart attack.

Researchers are revisiting their views on the relative dangers soft and hard atherosclerotic plaque deposits pose to heart health

 

The finding potentially could mean a lot of patients may not require statin therapy, even though they have high cholesterol.”

— Brent Muhlestein, MD, FACC, Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute

SALT LAKE CITY , UTAH , USA, April 28, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Researchers are revisiting their views on the relative dangers soft and hard atherosclerotic plaque deposits pose to heart health. Findings of a new study by researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City may be a “game-changer” for determining who’s at risk of a heart attack, they say.
 
The notion that soft plaque is more likely to rupture and cause heart attacks than hard calcium deposits in coronary arteries may be wrong, according to the new study that will be presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions in Washington D.C. on March 18.
 
Atherosclerosis is caused when plaque builds up in the arteries, narrowing and hardening them.

“We previously thought the lipid-laden soft plaque was more likely to rupture and cause heart attacks, but based on our new research, it’s more the calcified plaque that appears to be associated with adverse cardiovascular events” said Brent Muhlestein, MD, one of the study’s authors and co-director of cardiology research at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City.

Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute researchers had earlier teamed with Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and National Institutes of Health scientists to analyze the composition of plaque from 224 patients who had diabetes, but no heart symptoms.
 
This new research reflects more long-term findings after patients were followed for an average of nearly seven years to see if their plaque composition had predicted whether they’d have a cardiac event. 
 
In this study, through careful quantitative evaluation, the composition of coronary artery plaque identified in the subjects through CT coronary angiography was stratified proportionately into amounts of soft, calcified, and fibrous plaque and compared with future risk of unstable angina, heart attack or death. 
 
Unexpectedly, proportionately higher quantities of calcified plaque best predicted major adverse coronary events, while soft plaque did not, researchers found.
 
Dr. Muhlestein said further studies are needed to verify the findings, but results from his team’s research may represent a potential paradigm shift. “We need further validation to gauge the importance of why the coronary calcium score is so predictive,” he said.
 
Although a build-up of coronary calcium doesn’t go away, doctors can successfully treat the patient aggressively with statins. They know no one gets coronary calcium if they don’t have plaque, even if it hasn’t been seen, so anyone with coronary calcium also has atherosclerosis.
 
“It’s a disease marker, not a risk marker. And we think it’s possibly a very important predictor,” said Dr. Muhlestein, who noted that having a calcium score of zero is like having a five-year warranty against heart attack — even with high levels of low-density lipoprotein, also known as LDL or bad, cholesterol.
 
“The finding potentially could mean a lot of patients may not require statin therapy, even though they have high cholesterol,” he said. “Maybe we can find and identify them. If there’s no atherosclerosis, you’re not going to have a heart attack. So the coronary calcium score may allow us to much more effectively select who we treat.”
 
The next step for the researchers is to complete more of the scans to see if the finding holds up, which will make findings more robust.
 
Other study authors are Farangis Lavasani, NP; Heidi T. May, PhD; Alan C. Kwan, MD, George Cater, MD; Boaz D. Rosen, MD; Donald L. Lappé, MD; Jeffrey L. Anderson, MD; Kirk U. Knowlton, MD; and Jaoa A.C. Lima, MD.

Author Paul W. Richard reveals cliff dweller story

‘Departure of the Cliff Dwellers’ chronicles tale of adventure, thrill, mystery

 

GREELEY, Colo. – Author Paul W. Richard imparts to readers the thrill of adventure, mystery and appreciation of Native American history and drama in his book, “Departure of the Cliff Dwellers” (published by Trafford Publishing).

 

This beautiful adventure gives a clear picture of the ancient Native American kids who lived in cliff dwellings, how they used courage and strength to face challenges that threatened their way of life and then having to abandon those places. As readers read this, they will come to feel the reality of what life must have been like for those Indian people long ago as their world changed. This book is especially for readers who have ever wondered about what happened to the Anasazi people of Mesa Verde. This tale thrills and informs from its exciting beginnings as two Indian kids solve a mystery and help their family and people survive.

 

An excerpt from the book:

A harsh ear-splitting cry of “Raiders, Raiders” echoed across a peaceful cliff-dwelling village. That warning stabbed Uco with terror as he raced with his sister, Ela, to pull up the heavy, rough wooden ladder, the only exit and entry from their second-story stone home to the next level of houses below.

 

A fast-paced and gripping read, “Departure of the Cliff Dwellers” shows how people have adjusted to difficulties in the past when drought and climate changed their living space.
