Researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute have found a new link between atrial fibrillation patients and dementia in new study
Jess Gomez
A new study by researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Murray, Utah, has found that atrial fibrillation patients who are on blood thinning medications are at higher risk of developing dementia if their doses are not in the optimal recommended range.
The study of more than 2,600 AFib patients found they are significantly more likely to develop dementia when using medicines to prevent blood clots, such as warfarin, when their dosing is too high or too low for an extended period of time. Findings from the study were presented at the 2014 Annual Heart Rhythm Society Scientific Session today in San Francisco.
In the United States, nearly one in 10 people, or about 2.7 million Americans, develop AFib in their lifetimes.Atrial fibrillation is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.
Physicians try to achieve an international normalized ratio (a test used to learn how fast the blood clots) of two to three, which is within the therapeutic range, or the safety range. Typically, dosages higher than the therapeutic range can increase the risk of bleeding. If the dose is lower than the therapeutic range, it can increase risk of blood clots forming.
Three years ago researchers at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute found that patients with atrial fibrillation were at higher risk for developing dementia, but the cause of that association — the link between anticoagulation medication and dementia — was unknown.
"Most patients who develop atrial fibrillation require the use of an anticoagulant to prevent a stroke. The most common anticoagulant used worldwide is warfarin, and we now know that if warfarin doses are consistently too high or too low, one of the long-term consequences can be brain damage," said Jared Bunch, MD, principal investigator and director of electrophysiology research at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute. "This points to the possibility that dementia in atrial fibrillation patients is partly due to small repetitive clots and/or bleeds in the brain."
Results from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute study were collected from 2,693 patients, with 4.1 percent of them being diagnosed with dementia. Results were based on the percentage of time their blood-thinning medications were within the range. The more time their dosages were within the range, the less risk they had of developing dementia.
Patients within the therapeutic range less than 25 percent of the time were 4.5 times more likely to develop dementia.
Patients within the therapeutic range 25-50 percent of the time were 4.1 times more likely to develop dementia.
Patients within the therapeutic range 51-75 percent were only 2.5 percent more likely to develop dementia.
The increased risk remained significant when adjusting for common risks of both stroke and bleeding, noted Dr. Bunch.
"Our results from the study tell us two things," he said. "With careful use of anticoagulation medications, the dementia risk can be reduced. Patients on warfarin need very close follow-up in specialized anticoagulation centers if possible to ensure their blood levels are within the recommended levels more often.
"Second, these results also point to a potential new long-term consequence of dependency on long-term anticoagulation medications. In this regard, stroke prevention therapies do not require long-term anticoagulation medications and reducing the use of these drugs will hopefully lower dementia risk."
Dementia is cognitive dysfunction that impacts quality of life. Dementia is a progressive disease, and the impact on quality of life often worsens not only for patients, but also for their families and loved ones.
Warfarin is used to prevent blood clots in atrial fibrillation patients, and though it is an effective therapy, the drug poses risks if improperly dosed. Proper dosing of warfarin is complicated because the drug interacts with many other common medications, as well as some foods.
When determining an initial dose of warfarin, physicians often start with a standard dose and can take certain clinical indicators into account to alter that dose. These clinical measures include age, body size, smoking status, and use of certain medications. During the initial weeks of therapy, the warfarin activity is monitored closely through blood tests, and adjustments are made as needed.

Animal groups blast Barrow dog warden axe plan
Last updated at 13:56, Tuesday, 08 May 2012
TWO animal welfare groups have slammed Barrow Borough Council over its plans to axe the town's dog warden later this year.
The RSPCA and Animal Welfare (Furness) say the role is "indispensable" and have warned the decision could have dire consequences.
The backlash comes after the council told warden Bill Burrows, who has served in the role for four years, that his post is being made redundant on September 30.
The position of dog warden is one of five council jobs put on the chopping block by the council as it seeks to erase a budget deficit of £127,000.
Although a final decision will not be made until the end of June, the council has confirmed it is proposing the Streetcare team take over the warden's duties.
But Animal Welfare (Furness) member Beverly Milburn said the move was "a very worrying decision'' and would be "a severe blow" to the community, adding: "It is our opinion that all dogs should be dealt with by an experienced person, otherwise the dog may bite someone because it is terrified and has been mishandled, culminating in the animal's destruction.''
The RSPCA's Furness and Barrow branch has already written to the council expressing its "deep concern".
In the letter, branch chairwoman Sylvia Riley and treasurer Claire Pettingale say they "fully appreciate" the need to save money, but warn of "significant adverse effects" on the Barrow community if the dog warden goes.
They said: "Like many urban, industrial town, Barrow has significant issues with regard to dog welfare."
Council leader, Councillor Dave Pidduck, who heads the executive committee that will make the final call on the redundancies, said whatever its decision the public would not be put at risk.
He said: "Nobody wants to make anybody redundant and a great deal of soul-searching has gone on.
"Obviously, concerns raised by the public and the RSPCA would be looked at, but there will be a system in place that will protect the public.''

Have your say
Having actually voted against the loss of this essential service I am hopeful that the Labour dominated Council will at some point recognise that this is a service and a man which serves the Borough well.Of course austerity measures and cuts must be implemented but having left the Labour Council more than £9,000,000 in reserves (4 times the level of reserves than we inherited from the past Labour Council) there should be funding to maintain this post.Labour has increased the cost of a vast range of services; funding could be used from this additional income.Labour has cut the services and times of opening; funding could have been used from these savings. And of course, it put up Council Tax; again providing additional funding which could have funded the post.The Labour Leader has stated: -âObviously, concerns raised by the public and the RSPCA would be looked at, but there will be a system in place that will protect the public.ââWhilst there is a suggestion that the concerns of the public and RSPCA will be looked at, clearly saying "but" there will be a "system in place" to protect the public suggests, to some, that it will not be Bill; he is not a system.The public is asking us to support this position; the highly respected RSPCA has identified its absolute need, Animal Welfare is expressing concern; time for a rethink.This is perhaps one cut too many.
Getting rid of the dog warden would be detramental as Bill has essential expertise and knowlegde off the problems we all face with dog issues . He is good at responding to dog fouling issues and strays he is good in all the comunities and going to meeting as and when he is not over worked... Its not that you want to get rid of Bill it is an issue to have more Dog wardens around .... To help Bill and the team that do so well with the resorses they are given... WE NEED MORE WARDENS NOT NO WARDENS .

Bones, generally agree with most of what you've said. We're getting off the OP topic, which is safe camping in bear country, however I think that's been pretty well covered in the posts above. Before we move to ballistics, I think bear spray is still the best bet for most people in most circumstances. Handy, not a crucial aim, tests show it pretty much will get the bear to turn and leave, whereas with a gun, a grizzly may react badly. Bears are enormously vital and can travel a long ways when they "should be dead". People equate shooting a bear to shooting a fragile human. Very different things.
Another poster commented that, in the dark, he'd rather spray down an area than try to shoot something. I have a good friend and two acquaintances who have been mauled (work in the woods, your odds go up). One is a hunting outfitter who was trailing some horses down a bushy path, bear nailed him. No time to react, no matter what you use. With spray, you could spray both bear and victim, bear 99% leaves, tend to the victim. With a gun, shooting into that mess might not be a good idea.
Agree about shot placement, etc. However our definition of defensive is different. You're talking 50 yards, I'm talking 50 feet at most, maybe 30 feet. Muzzle energy is essentially what you get. The 4,000 lb.ft. comes from a study in Alaska, that's what they concluded was a 'one shot stop' most of the time. A 12 gauge with slugs at 30' is pretty effective, and remember you're not shooting once and hoping for the best. The quick cycle time with a shot gun, while keeping the sight picture, is a bonus. I have a folding stock on mine for travel, but if there is any expectation of need, the stock is out so I can shoulder the gun and be more accurate. Frankly, it's also what I've practised and am comfortable with.
A lever action 45-70 sounds like a good choice, but I don't have one...while I know there are cases of lighter calibre handguns killing a bear, what they hand out to game officers, mining inspectors and the like, is at least a .44 Magnum, which I recall having about 1,000 lb.ft. (I know there are hot loads out there, but standard factory ammo is likely for most people). Skill level just went up dramatically though, a disadvantage. These days, fish and game guys have .40 or the like, as the biggest danger isn't bears, it's armed poachers. Think about that...
It's the old saying, "if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail". I recommend to people taking the appropriate tool for the situation. For me, that's mostly bear spray, the cabin was different. Most bears will not actually attack, my concern being that the guy with the handgun is going to pop off, piss off, and create a situation that may not have happened otherwise.
I've also read far too many posts on this site, where people think it's OK to use an inefficient calibre, as they feel they can wound the bear and it will run away. They don't think of night time, close quarters, do they have enough experience...Depends on the bear which way it runs, they're probably shooting from too far away, and the ethics of casually wounding an animal, while not thinking this through, offend me. I bet you understand that, due to the sensible comments you made.

When thinking of the speed and power of a bear I just don't think 30 ft is far enough. I believe it's U.S. Geological Survey that has guidelines for it's forest service personnel and if a bear is within or at 50 ft and aggressive then shooting is considered reasonable self deference, notice I said aggressive not charging. A bear at that distance that is facing you is considered aggressive by biologists. Considering a bear could travel 50 yards in about 3 seconds it doesn't seem a crazy distance, tho there was a conviction for illegally killing a bear for someone claiming self deference in shooting a bear at 40 yds in Yellowstone so it's clear there is more than a little gray area. Statistically speaking bear spray is much more effective and has better results than firearms but when looking just at encounters with people who are very capable, like law enforcement and other armed armed govt personnel (fish and game, park service, etc) the numbers are much different. It is true that bear attacks are rare and encompass less than 1 % of the interactions that humans have with bears.
I will say that the idea that it's astronomically rare and you would be hit with lightning more often is a bs for those who fall in certain categories. If you are in bear territory, alone or in a small group (bears normally attack people in groups of 3 or less, in Alaska "4 or more" is a bit of a standard for bear safety, and there has never been a reported attack by a brown bear on a group of 7 or greater before 2011 when a grizzly attacked 7 teenagers) well your risk is a heck of a lot worse than the statistical average for being hit by lightning. How many people are truly at risk? Very few because most people are sitting on their couch where they are reasonably safe from bears so throwing them in the stats is a bit dishonest or stupid.
As to firearms it really is about the individual. A 12 gauge would be high on my list but only with slugs. Even 00 buck has almost no penetration after 15 ft and even the may serve only to blind a bear. Really the min handgun that one should chose to use as a bear defense gun would be a .44 mag (which does have between 1000 to 1200 ft lb in normal loading s depending on barrel length of the pistol) but even a .44 should really only be a backup or emergency gun if carried for the purpose of bear defense. Also when I mentioned pistol caliber carbines I was thinking of almost any non-shouldered cartridge like the 45-70 (yes there are pistols made to fire the 45-70). Historically speaking many of these rounds were quite powerful and use in both handguns and rifles. Also when traveling in bear country one would hope if you are carrying a firearm for bear protection, even if only partially, you would pick the appropriate ammo. The 45-70 is well over 100 years old and designed originally for black powder. Updated rounds with modern propellant and something other than lead for bullets makes a big difference.
Now this is going even further off topic but I do like the multi caliber big bore handguns that have been coming out lately and think they can be great guns for use in survival situations. I'm talking about the "Judge" line of pistols like Taurus has all tho there are several others that are equally good. They fire a large caliber pistol round as well as a shotgun round. I have a Taurus that can fire .454 which has ballistics even a bear would worry about. It can also fire .45 lc and .410 rounds. I can use it for big game, small game, snakes, signaling, bear, you name it. There are any number of specialty shot rounds from flares to bear bangers. Heck you can start fires with it. It is a big chunk of metal and wasn't cheap but we all have our vices. Really tho it is a good signaling device, excellent for self defense, good snake gun, etc. My use is more concern from javelina and wild hogs and snakes than bears but the pistol is able to cover the bases.
That being said I'm not an idiot and would carry bear spray if in bear county. I say that but bear sightings and encounters are on the rise in Texas and I just don't carry spray here. Of course I don't carry a pistol for the local bears either but ......

Do it right!
While this is an admiral attempt at safely hanging your food etc .... it is too close to the tree and a bear could easily get at it.
You want it at least 5-6' away from the tree, 4' below the branch you are hanging it from and at least 9' from the ground, such as these two examples ....
You use two 25' lengths of 3/16" nylon rope, a small pulley, a carabiner and an ice cream bucket lid (with a hole punched through the centre) to keep mice/squirrels out of your food/toiletries bag as well. I have even used this system to haul 40q coolers up and stored safely for the night. Although I have had a few confrontations with bears in the bush, (including a 'Bluff Charge' by a Black) I've never had an issue with bears/rodents in camp, or getting at my food in the 23 years I've been using this system, where needed.
Keeping a scrupulously clean camp vastly diminishes the chance of a visit by an unwanted intruder!!!
No one is completely useless ....... they can always be used as a horrible example!

Based on everything I've ever heard about, read about, and experienced, the biggest deal regarding personal safety when it comes to bears in the USA is whether or not you're in grizzly territory. Black bears, especially in lower latitudes, are relatively small...a 300 lb. Black Bear in CO is considered big. Now is that 300 pounds of bear I'd like to wrestle with? No, but as others have stated 99% of black bear encounters are them running away from us. Grizzlies aren't as easily scared off, and if they attack you're basically dead already unless you happen to be a good shot AND get lucky with either bear spray or proper firearm (12 gauge, .44 Mag and up revolver) to bring down what is basically the equivilent of least 2 black bears with rabies as far as power and viciousness goes. I still carry in Colorado for black bears but I personally think my .40 SW is enough to scare off any black bear. I've seen black bears 4 times in 12 years and they've always been jogging away from me even when I'm not being loud hiking alone. Before I even had the common sense to cook away from my tent and keep food in a tree overnight I never had a black bear enter my camp that I knew of. I've never been in grizz territory though I want to go to Yellowstone next summer.
Basically I hardly worry at all about black bears when it comes to personaly safety...I carry first and foremost because of the two legged predator. Now they definitely are willing to be a nuisance. I had a friend who left a loaf of bread in the trunk of his Saturn in Golden, CO (Denver metro area) and one tore the door about damn near off and then eventually got through the back seats into the trunk. All in the dead of night about 25 yards from his house. Like any inquisitive animal, they try to get away with as much as they can when they don't see or smell humans. If my friend had been sleeping in that car, the bear probably wouldn't have even approached it, IMO, and if he did he could have easily run away if my friend made a ton of noise and movement. Most animals don't take a lot of convincing, except the ones that know they can own us real good. A normal sized black bear versus Joe Schmo with a bowie knife is practically a fair fight.

hanging out of reach
I have always have used ropes and biners to hoist stuff up out of reach of bears.
Cooler, bag of cookery equipt all go up.
Tank bag also goes up, because it contains or did recently contain snacks or toothpaste.
I am looking for good ideas to purge my panniers all the rope required for all this hoisting. One of my tank panniers is full of ropes, some for clothesline, some for tarp, but most for bears,coons and critters.
Show me your pics of hanging away from bears
This pic is not in a bear area, the main concern with this elevated cooler is to be out of reach of coons.

Epic Information Failure
Otherwise, you need to read or experience more current information, as much of what you state is not consistent with current bear safety practice. Let's put this in perspective. You say you've seen black bears 4 times in 12 years. Last year I had a grizzly with two cubs munching berries across my driveway, about 75', watched them for about an hour. Same summer, another mother grizzly with 3 cubs wandered by, black bears are frequent neighbours. This is at home, not way out in the bush, I'm only 25 km to Whitehorse.
Grizzlies will defend territory or act to eliminate a threat, but do not typically view people as food. I have a friend and two acquaintances who have been mauled by grizzlies. In each case, the bear left them alone after believing it had eliminated the threat. My friend recalls thinking "if I don't stop screaming, I'm dead". He did so, the bear dropped him. I would add that it had him by the back of the leg where it joins the buttocks and was flailing him through alder bushes like a dog does with a stick. That's how strong they are. Or see the cabin pictures I posted. Grizzlies also respond well to bear spray, i.e. leave. So are you automatically dead if a grizzly attacks? No, use spray, play dead, they may leave you the worse for wear (none of my friends are pretty anymore), but alive, if you're lucky.
As others have posted, your luck changes if you're constantly exposed to the situation, but that's true of anything. Use a chainsaw a lot, you're more likely to cut yourself.
We had one unfortunate incident where a prospector was out staking, unknowingly walked right below a den with a mother griz and cubs. She probably killed him so quickly there was no time for any action. Given some distance, and no surprise, she may not have acted as dramatically as she did. Who knows? There is an element of uncertainty, they also have personalities. Some are mellow, some not.
If you think a black bear your size is the same strength, good luck. Not even close. While most black bears will run, some won't. Worse, some black bears DO think of us as food, and will initiate a predatory attack. If it's pretending not to see you, slowly stalking closer...bad signs. We keep it quiet, but do lose a tourist now and then to bear attacks, almost all to black bears. One young summer worker had "old school" advice and played dead when the black bear went for her - this in a public government campsite - and while the bear was eventually chased off by others, it wasn't pretty. They don't necessarily kill you before starting to dine. If it's a predatory black bear, make the meal as hard to get as possible, fight back - but only if contacted.
At another public campsite a black bear went for a fellow who was splitting wood, and he had the cool presence of mind to nail it dead center of the skull with his axe. Giant balls, and great timing. For the bear to get that close, it wasn't a bluff charge. If you're taking black bears casually, good luck with that.
I am probably more afraid of grizzlies, as I've seen what they can do, but given a choice, I'd almost rather deal with a grizzly than a black bear. Maybe it's the unpredicatability of a black bear, which I think may be higher than a grizzly.
Put another way, I've had a grizzly walk through my camp, about 25' away. I sat still, he ignored me, it was clear that he was sending a message: "MY woods". If that had been a black bear, I'd have been really worried, that close would mean intent.

another bad sleep
I live in BC Canada, and yep we got bears. Lots of them. We do a lot of backpacking, dual sporting etc. into areas with bears.
There is some great advise posted here as is the regular info. that we have all read about sleeping in bear country.
When it comes down to sleeping well doing every thing your told to do still wont give you a good night sleep.
After taking precautions the rest is in our minds. The fear still lingers.
Set up camp where you believe is the safest location. Closer to people, buildings, highways, public campgrounds etc.
Even camping around light makes us feel safer. I even set up my tent with my bike on one side and a rock for eg. on the other.
I also take sleeping pills when in my tent as if your a light sleeper you'll need all the help you can get.
Getting attacked by a bear is like getting hit by lighting. Chances are it ain't gonna happen. But the fear is there right.
The better you make yourself feel the better chance of sleeping good.
Besides if you get attack chances are it will be over with quick,,,,, after the second attack.....

Camping in Glacier NP the kind ranger lady came around to let campers know of bears and the fact that some were about. She reminded folks to us the food lockers to store most everything. I told her I was going to store some bacon fat on her cabin steps.Not being amused she asked why I would consider such untoward behavior . I relied she had the resources to deal with the problem and the gun shots would alert me in my tent that bears were about.

My theory has always been you're more likely to get bothered by a bear if you camp in a campground that is regularly used because the local bears expect to find food there and are not afraid of people. In a remote seldom used campsite the bears don't come looking for food every night and aren't comfortable with people.
I don't put my tent right next to the bike because I've had a bear knock over the bike and wouldn't want it to fall on me while I'm sleeping. This was many years ago at Mazama Campground at Crater Lake NP.

Not smarter, but I certainly have much more experience with bears of both types than you do. As for Colorado versus other locations, there may be some regional differences. Are you going to stake your life on those differences being major?
You did say that a man with a knife versus a black bear was almost a fair fight, if a grizzly attacks you're automatically dead...all of which seemed to indicate how you felt on the subject, and you were pretty definitive in your opinions - based on seeing one bear every three years. That pretty much added up to an epic information fail that would mislead others, therefore I responded.
If you only rode a motorcycle once every three years, would we credit your advice in that regard either?

I camped for 20 or so days (90% backwoods primitive camping) on a 35 day trip last summer spanning many Rocky Mountain states, as well as Canadian provinces. I never had a problem with bears.
I always put any food or scented (think chapstick, deodorant, toothpaste etc) items in a bag at least 50 yards downwind from my tent. Everything in the bag was sealed in ziplock style bags. I never ate in my tent, but I did eat near it. If I spilled food on myself or my clothes they went in the bag or were washed in a river before bed. Sealed food items such as unopened beef jerkey and granola bars were left in my tank bag on the bike near my tent, and didn't have a problem. Of course YMMV.
I carried bear spray but never had to use it.

BlackBerry's rumoured to unveil a new flagship 5-inch touchscreen phone called the A10 later this year -- and it looks like the Galaxy S4.

Reportedly leaked specs point to a new top-shelf Blackberry Aristo device.

Adventures in Ennis
with Bud and Ginny Roemhild '57
Albert ("Bud") and Virginia ("Ginny") Roemhild, graduates of the Class of 1957, know a thing or two about travel.
Both retired, their schedules are kept busy with frequent trips around the world. And now, they can add a summer 2008 trip to Ennis, Ireland with the Drexel Travel Program to that list.
"The trip definitely lived up to our expectations," Ginny said, shortly after she and her husband returned from their excursion.
Those expectations, based on their first experience with the Drexel Travel Program on a trip to Tuscany in October of 2007, were set high. They explained that because they enjoyed Tuscany so much, they decided to sign up for a second adventure with Drexel to Ireland, expecting another enriching cultural experience.
"What's unique about these trips is that group guides take you to historical places and there are also various lecturers who come to your hotel either in the morning or at night and they talk about things that are really unique to the area," Ginny said.
The Roemhilds explained that when they received the detailed itinerary for their first trip with Drexel to Tuscany, they thought that the planned lectures and trips might be too much; however they quickly realized that the lectures and programs were part of what made the trips so special.
"This second time around, I wouldn't dream of missing any of it," Bud said.
One such experience took place when a panel consisting of a school teacher, a bank executive and an engineer – all natives of the area – visited their hotel in Ennis. They answered questions and talked about a wide range of things including their personal backgrounds, the current healthcare and education systems and their country's economy.
"What was great was that they didn't just tell you what happened," Ginny explained. "They gave you their own experiences. They talked about how the economy and the government affected them; it was so interesting to get their first-hand perspectives on things."
Providing people with unique, one-of-a-kind experiences is what the program is all about. The Drexel Travel Program trips are rich in history and culture.
Bud and Ginny explained that a campus director who is a native of the area stays with the travelers from beginning to end. He or she stays in the same hotel as them, accompanies them on their daytrips and is there to make sure that everything runs smoothly.
"Our campus director was very knowledgeable and helpful," Ginny said. "She was like our mother hen."
Ginny explained that whenever they met and talked to the locals of Ennis, they were encouraged to visit a place called the Burren which is a rocky area on the northwestern coast of Ireland. They did, and it turned out to be her favorite place.
"The scenery was outstanding," she said. "It was such a special place."
Bud went on to describe his favorite part of the trip.
"We visited the Craggaunowen Project which is an area where they recreated Irish settlements on lakes and bogs," he said. "We crossed bridges from one little island to the next and visited these homes that they built out of rocks."
Craggaunowen had actors on hand to depict what life was really like during the 13th century. They answered questions and made it a truly authentic experience.
Even though they didn't't agree on their favorite part of the trip, they could agree that their journey to the Emerald Isle was enjoyable and worthwhile.
And possibly the most poignant display of their satisfaction was when they both responded with an immediate "yes" when asked if they would recommend a similar trip to other Drexel alumni.
"We've actually tried to get some of our Drexel friends to come with us," Ginny said. "It is so reasonable when you look at what you get for what you pay."

$(document).ajaxComplete(function(){ // fire when any Ajax requests complete })
But what I want is the following:
$.get('http://thepath.to/my/site/and/file.php', function(data) { var content_s = $(data).find('#cds_global'); $('#dlm_btn_settings').html(content_s) });
I want to load a page. From that page, I would like to get a specific <div> hence the ".find" function.
Now, from that <div> whose ID is "cds_global" (Without quotes), I would like to get ALL HTML + JavaScript functionality.... How do I do that?
Edit: BTW, thanks a lot in advanced

Local voters on Tuesday elected new school board members in Pomona and Claremont, re-elected two governing board members at the Chaffey College district, and approved a utility-tax measure in Pomona.
In Diamond Bar, voters re-elected two incumbent City Council members and elected newcomer Ling-Ling Chang. All incumbent candidates were re-elected Tuesday in races for the governing boards of Mt. San Antonio College, Citrus College, and the Walnut Valley Unified School District.
For complete vote tallies in local races, click here and here.
In perhaps Tuesday's most surprising result, Jason Rothman, son of Pomona Mayor Elliott Rothman, unseated incumbent Pomona school board member Steve Lustro in a tight three-candidate race for a two-year seat on the PUSD board.
Rothman, a recent graduate from Cal Poly Pomona in his early 20s, received 2,113 votes to Lustro's 1,984 votes. Nancy A. Matarrita finished third with 1,746 votes.
In the other Pomona Unified school board race for three four-year seats, two incumbents won re-election, and challenger Roberta Perlman unseated incumbent John Avila. Robert Torres, son of former Pomona mayor and current state Assemblywoman Norma Torres, finished in a distant last place among the seven candidates.
Finishing with the most votes was incumbent Andrew Wong, with 3,014 supporting his candidacy. Perlman finished second with 2,897 votes, and incumbent Adrienne Konigar-Macklin finished third with 2,309 votes. In the final four positions were Avila (2,186 votes), Frank Guzman (1,914 votes), Hank Mollet (1,768 votes) and Torres (985 votes).
Pomona voters also passed a utility-tax measure that broadens the city's telecommunications utility users tax to include new forms of telephone communication, such as cell phones, text messaging, and some Internet phone technology. The tax rate will remain at 9 percent with the passage of Measure PC, which was supported by 59.65 percent of Pomona voters. It needed a majority to pass.
In Claremont, incumbent school board members Mary Caenepeel (3,023 votes) and Steven Llanusa (2,121 votes) won re-election, while newcomer Jeff Stark won a seat on the board with the second-most votes (2,975). Challenger Jeff Hammill finished with the fewest votes (1,855) among the four candidates.
Two incumbent governing board members at the Chaffey Community College District easily fended off three challengers Tuesday. Katie Roberts finished with 12,971 votes and Kathy Brugger received 12,114 votes. Finishing respectively in the third, fourth and fifth positions were Ontario-Montclair school board member Paul Vincent Avila (4,682 votes), Irene Hernandez-Blair (4,609 votes), and Christopher Agrella (2,790 votes).
Two incumbent city councilmembers and a newcomer easily won election in Diamond Bar, where the nearest challenger finished with more than 1,000 votes fewer than the third-place finisher Ling-Ling Chang.
Finishing with the highest number of votes was Steve Tye (3,081 votes), followed in the top three positions by Ron Everett (2,624 votes) and Chang (2,408 votes). In the final four positions among the seven candidates were Robert Velazquez (1,384 votes), David Liu (1,291 votes), Lucy Huang (1,148 votes), and S. Dhand (898 votes).
Winning re-election on Mt. San Antonio College's governing board were incumbents Judy Chen Haggery (26,403 votes) and David K. Hall (24,538 votes). Challenger John Mendoza finished a distant third in the race with 11,419 votes.
Incumbent candidates from the Citrus College governing board also easily won re-election. Gary Woods finished with 631 votes to challenger Richard James Lugo's 217 votes in the district's Area 1 race. In Area 3, incumbent Edward Ortell defeated David Hooper with nearly 73 percent of the vote.
In the race for three seats on the Walnut Valley Unified school board, three incumbents won re-election despite a strong showing by two challengers. Finishing in the top three positions were Nancy A. Lyons (2,972 votes), Helen Hall (2,586 votes) and Cindy M. Ruiz (2,252 votes). Newcomer Anyork Lee finished less than a percentage point behind Ruiz with 2,142 votes. Newcomer Michael West garnered the fewest votes among the five candidates, with 1,365 voters supporting his candidacy.

Spandex Fishnet Pantyhose
Also found in:
♠ Leg Avenue ♠ Fishnet ♠ Summer ♠ Tights ♠ Plus Sized ♠ Tube Style ♠ Sheer To Waist
So many colors to choose from! No back-seams and fine enough around the feet to keep your toes in. The spandex keeps them snug around your curves and narrow spots. We found them to be quite comfy - they wear well and look awesome!
One size:Label says one size fits most, 90-160 lbs. However we've found that many colors comfortably fit a 25 inch thigh and 45 inch waist with plenty of extra length in the torso! The Beige seems to have less stretch than the other colors, drop us a line if you want to make sure they'll work for you.
Plus Size: Currently only available in Black. Label says fits 150-200 lbs. They had plenty of stretch for 25 inch thighs and 46 inch hips, though more sensitive tummies might not like the waistband. Double seam in the rear. The maximum inseam and hip stretch combo we found these fit was a 32 inch inseam with a 50 inch hip.
Additional Info: Thanks to Roller Girl B-17 for the image of the royal blue fishnets! She gives them very high praises for being almost as tough as she is, and not snagging for anything!
Featured 2/22/05
Made in Taiwan.
Some photos by Xilia.
Fiber Content: 96% nylon, 4% spandex.
Hand wash, drip dry.
Label: Leg Avenue
Is there the possibility of the other colors being restocked in the Plus Size catagory? I ordered a pair of Beige over a year ago and have been waiting for the chance to order another.
Would the neon pink glow under a blacklight?
I really love these in white and royal blue. http://www.sockdreams.com/products/socks-special-collections/plus-sized/spandex-fishnet-pantyhose:1188 Is there any chance at all of getting those colours in in a plus size?
Hello, I work for a nonprofit performing and am looking for 10 of the spandex fishnet pantyhose in white. I would need the by Wed the 12th. Is this a possibility? Thank you!
Will these come back in more colors for plus size? I've tried We Love Colors and Music Legs and they're not as good!
Thanks for offering quality, attractive, & affordable plus-sized tights. Will be ordering more! <3.
