ESCATEC continues its pioneering use of the latest software by being the first user of new version of Mentor Graphics vPlan

DFx Analysis Service for Virtual PCBA verification now available.

Heerbrugg, Switzerland, May 16, 2011 -- ESCATEC, the EMS innovator, is the first company to deploy the new version 3 of Mentor Graphics’ vPlan. The company will be sharing its experiences of the new software at a Mentor Graphics User Workshop in Munich on June 29, 2011. A key feature of vPlan it that it enables a new PCB design to be virtually assembled with components to check that everything fits appropriately and ESCATEC is now providing this as a service to customers called DFx (Designed For excellence).

“Investing in the latest technology and software is a vital part of our strategy of providing the best possible service for customers,” explained Gerhard Klauser, General Manager at ESCATEC Switzerland. “vPlan enables us to completely check the manufacturability of a PCBA and eliminates most errors in the design without the expense of having a trial run with actual boards. This can provide significant savings to customers and so we are also providing it as a DFx Analysis Service to any company wanting to verify their design prior to going to manufacture. This enables them to focus on their core IP secure in the knowledge that all aspects of manufacturability have been properly investigated and optimised for yield.”

DFx forms an integrated approach for Design for Manufacturability, for Test, for Toolability, for Cost and for Environment. It addresses all significant issues early in the design cycles to shorten the development time and time to market by reducing design loops, ensuring that the function of the design meets the specifications and preventing later quality and delivery issues.

vPlan uses data of the actual shapes and sizes of components from a database to simulate the assembly process. It checks the footprint and fit on the PCB so that any mismatch can be identified and the design corrected. PCBs can then go straight into production using assembly programs generated by vPlan with a minimum of expensive trial runs to get the bugs out of a new product introduction.

Another important feature of the DFx Service is the BOM (Bill Of Materials) review which optimises the BOM and checks forward availability of components to prevent end of life or single source issues.

Brain Pain: Tracking Triggers Key to Headache Cure

Lifestyle sleuthing is the best way to corner the prime suspects behind headache pain, says noted Encino dentist Allan Melnick. Armed with the facts, medical professionals can customize treatment to free patients from debilitating migraines, TMJ and tension headaches.

Los Angeles, CA, May 12, 2011 -- April showers bring May flowers…and pollen, allergies and sinus headaches. The flowers are things of beauty, but the headaches can be beastly.

“At this time of year, pollen allergies are a prime suspect when sinus pain and pressure are present,” says Dr. Allan Melnick, a noted clinical dentist in Encino, Calif. “Springtime headaches cause a lot of grief, but it’s important to track down the true source of all the pain. It could be pollen, but it also could be a migraine or jaw joint malfunction – which need something other than a decongestant.”

Non-migraine headaches affect nine out of 10 Americans, according to the American Council for Headache Education. A whopping 40 million Americans are affected each year by sinusitis, reports the Cleveland Clinic, a hospital known internationally for its medical research and treatment. Another 20 million people report jaw or lower facial pain, and the National Headache Foundation estimates that 30 million people are plagued by migraines.

Headaches typically fall into five categories:

Migraine headaches
Temporomandibular joint headaches (TMJ)
Sinus headaches
Cluster headaches
Tension headaches

Different things trigger headaches, including stress, caffeine, weather changes, alcohol, hormone fluctuations and allergens like pollen, mold and second-hand smoke, says Melnick, a former UCLA dentistry professor. Vascular and neuromuscular factors are linked to most headaches, he noted, and – in some cases – genetics.

“I see lots of patients with TMJ in my Encino office,” says Melnick. “Sometimes, we can pin the pain on a specific incident – like an elbow to the chin in a sporting accident. Other headaches are due to clenched teeth and stress or something as simple as a yawn gone wrong. Regardless of the cause, the pain can be debilitating.”

Sinus headaches occur when the membranes lining the sinuses become inflamed and swollen, says Melnick. Bacterial or fungal infection linked to a cold, allergies or malformation in the nasal cavity are the typical cause. Antibiotics and decongestants are used to treat the infection and minimize swelling that is causing pressure and pain.

On the other hand, migraines, cluster headaches, TMJ and tension headaches are usually linked to overworked muscles and an incorrect bite, says Melnick.

“The jaw is supposed to work in a relaxed and synchronized way. However, if the teeth don't come together correctly, the masseter muscle in the jaw has to work overtime,” explains Melnick. “Pain radiates into the jaw, ear canal, neck and temple. In cluster headaches, the temporalis muscle seems to be involved. It’s the fan-shaped muscle that starts behind the eye and spreads up over the ear and temple area. The pain is intense and chronic. Often physical therapy – things like massage and chiropractic treatment – can offer some relief, but the underlying triggers will need to be determined.”

Migraines are the most intense variety of headache, causing nausea, extreme light sensitivity, vomiting and asymmetrical pain patterns. Women are particularly vulnerable. Triggers seem to vary, but nerve and vascular impingement are suspected, along with muscle tension. Food, hormones, medicines and stress are often linked to pain episodes. Drug intervention and lifestyle changes typically are required.

Headaches are a major source of physical stress, work absenteeism and loss of work place productivity. Researchers at Maryland’s AdvancePCS Center for Work and Health and Geisinger Health Systems in Pennsylvania found that 13 percent of a large workforce sample experienced loss of work productivity due to pain. The most common pain complaint noted among the 28,902 working adults studied was headache – at 5.4 percent. Back pain (3.2%) and arthritis (2%) were the second and third most common work day disruptors. Pain conditions among the employed cost the economy more than $61 billion per year, the study stated.

“Figuring out your personal headache triggers is the way to lower the number of headaches and their severity,” says Melnick, senior dentist for FocusedCareDental.com. “That means you need to keep a health diary, see your dentist, and get a full workup at your personal physician’s office. Then, armed with information, we can fit you with an NTI mouthpiece for TMJ, send you to an allergist or dietician, or suggest yoga, massage, antihistamines or another therapy.”

The Speed Traders Reviews The Most Important Things for High-Frequency Trading


Edgar Perez's The Speed Traders: An Insider's Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, Published by McGraw-Hill Inc.

New York, USA, May 12, 2011 -- "Alternating between an annotated timeline of the development of high-frequency trading and interviews with top high-frequency traders, Perez illuminates the world of speed." That is how Seeking Alpha’s Brenda Jubin starts her review of The Speed Traders, An Insider's Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World (http://www.thespeedtraders.com), by recognized author Edgar Perez, title recently published by McGraw-Hill Inc., right on time for the anniversary of the "flash crash" that impacted the financial markets May 6 last year.

“Speed does not automatically translate into profit. Manoj Narang, the founder of Tradeworx, speaks to this point. A typical trade will return only about 0.1 cent per share. ‘And that only includes trading costs, not the costs of running such an expensive and technology-intensive business to begin with!’ Moreover, he continues, assume that high-frequency traders account for the entire market volume, which has averaged 8 billion shares per day, and that they make 0.1 cent per share of profit. The yearly profit would come to $2 billion. ‘This might sound like a lot of money, but let’s keep in mind that this is the total amount for an entire industry. There are many other corners of the financial industry, such as derivatives trading or hedge funds, that generate hundreds of times this amount of profit in one year.’”

“Perez explores the charges that have been brought against high-frequency trading and for the most part, with the help of his interviewees, tries to dispel them. Did high-frequency trading cause the Flash Crash? No. As David Cummings, chairman of Tradebot Systems, wrote: ‘Who puts in a $4.1 billion order without a limit price? The trader at Waddell & Reed showed historic incompetence.’”

“By tracing its roots (going back to Instinet, which began operating under an unwieldy name in 1970), Perez demonstrates it to be a logical development of technological change in the financial markets. By separating out some controversial practices, such as flash orders, from high-frequency trading, Perez makes it more defensible. All in all, an enlightening book.”

The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the most important development in trading in generations. High-frequency trading will no doubt play an ever larger role as computer technology advances and the global exchanges embrace fast electronic access. The Speed Traders explains everything there is to know about how today's high-frequency traders make millions—one cent at a time.”

Mr. Perez is widely regarded as the pre-eminent networker in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is the founder of Golden Networking and host of High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour business receptions (http://www.hfthappyhour.com) in New York City, which have drawn the world's top industry practitioners. He has organized high-frequency trading forums (http://www.hftleadersforum.com) and workshops (http://www.hftexpertsworkshop.com), as well as conferences on subjects as diverse as hedge funds, derivatives, private equity, distressed investing, and China, attracting thousands of executives and professionals in the world's major business centers. Mr. Perez has presented at Harvard Business School's 17th Annual Venture Capital & Private Equity Conference and at forums organized by Columbia Business School's Career Management Center and Alumni Club of New York.

Mr. Perez was a vice president at Citigroup, a senior consultant at IBM, and a consultant at McKinsey & Co. in New York City. Mr. Perez has an undergraduate degree from Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Lima, Peru (1994), a Master of Administration from Universidad ESAN, Lima, Peru (1997) and a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Business School, with a dual major in Finance and Management (2002). He is a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma international honor society. Mr. Perez resides in the New York City area and is an accomplished salsa and hustle dancer.

Mr. Perez is one of the great business networkers and motivators on the lecture circuit; he is available worldwide for the following speaking engagements: Present and Future of High-Frequency Trading, The Real Story behind the "Flash Crash", Networking for Financial Executives, and Business Networking for Success.

Bariatrics Decline as hCG for Weight Loss Explodes


Las Vegas, NV, May 11, 2011 -- The IAPAM predicts strong growth in hCG for weight loss, supported by recent 1Q results published by Allergan, the makers of Botox. Physicians who incorporate hCG and other medically supervised weight management programs into their practices, will reap significant fiscal reward in 2011. The IAPAM’s goal is to provide industry-leading education for physicians by offering the field's most comprehensive Physician hCG Training.

"Adult obesity is continuing its relentless rise, according to a new analysis of government statistics....with two thirds of Americans are now either overweight (defined as a body-mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher) or obese (A 30-plus BMI)," reports Maia Szalavitz for MSN Health & Fitness. To address this "growing" market, more and more physicians are adding medical weight management services to their practices, and by far, the most popular option among consumers (since being showcased on the Dr. Oz Show in February 2011) is medically supervised diet programs, specifically hCG for weight loss.

Allergan's Chairman and CEO David Pyott noted that, "Regarding the obesity intervention line, Q1 sales decreased 14.9% in dollars and 16.0% in local currencies. Overall, bariatric procedures in the U.S. market per our market research declined 12% in the first quarter year-over-year. In the U.S., we continue to suffer from lack of access for patients to LAP-BAND even if coverage in principle is available to members of commercial insurance plans. High co-pays and necessity to demonstrate failure and medically supervised diet and exercise programs are real barriers," laments Pyott.

IAPAM's hCG Training Helps Physicians Capture this Obesity Market

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com), offers his analysis on the growth of hCG for weight loss. "Demand for hCG for weight loss has exploded through the showcasing of hCG in the media, as evidenced in the Dr. Oz Show program of February 22, 2011. Physicians expertly trained in the clinical and business aspects of adding hCG weight loss programs to their practices, are assured of satisfied patients, and the successful growth of their healthcare businesses."

To support physicians in finding expert hCG training, the IAPAM offers its Physician hCG training program (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com/physician-hcg-weight-loss-training) for doctors and other healthcare professionals. “Our Medical Weight Management with hCG has garnered great praise from the physicians who have attended,” shares Russell. He also sees the benefits in offering complementary medical weight management and aesthetic medicine treatments to patients. "The next breakthrough will be in laser assisted lipolysis. Laser liposuction paired with hCG for medical weight management will be a key growth area for physicians in 2011."

The IAPAM has trained over 400 physicians and their staff on how to safely offer hCG to their patients, and over 7,000 patients have successfully lost weight on hCG, using the IAPAM's exclusive hCG Protocol (based on Dr. Simeons manuscript, Pounds and Inches).

Physicians Rave about the IAPAM's hCG Training

Physicians who have attended the IAPAM's hCG training testify to the comprehensiveness of the program. The one year of practice support, including access to the hCG Question and Answer Expert Forum and the IAPAM's hCG Protocol Patient Guidebook, definitely make the IAPAM's hCG Training different than the others. “I learned how to add a successful hCG program to my practice ..... I actually [received all] the tools to get started. Wonderful, motivating, informative, specific, intellectual. The best seminar I have attended," says a physician from Maryland after completing the IAPAM's hCG training.

Physicians Take Advantage of Botox Growth with IAPAM's Symposium with Botox Training

The IAPAM predicts strong growth in botox and dermal filler services in 2011, supported by recent results published by Allergan, the makers of Botox. Physicians who incorporate these procedures into their practices, will reap significant reward in 2011. The IAPAM’s goal is to provide industry-leading education for physicians by offering the field’s most comprehensive, hands-on, aesthetic training, including: the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training, The IAPAM’s Exclusive Physician hCG Training, Botox Training, Dermal Filler Training, Advanced Filler Training, and Chemical Peel Training.

Las Vegas, NV, May 11, 2011 -- The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) trains physicians on how to profitably add aesthetic medicine procedures, from botox to physician-directed skin care, to their practices. The Symposium with Botox Training covers all of the ASPS’s Top 5 Minimally Invasive Procedures:

- Botox (5,379,360)
- Soft Tissue Fillers (1,773,328)
- Chemical Peel (1,114,865)
- Laser hair removal (937,602)
- Microdermabrasion (824,706)

The profitability of adding these procedures to a practice is supported by Allergan’s recently announced 1Q 2011 results. Botox enjoyed strong growth, “increasing 10.1% in dollars and 8.7% in local currencies versus the prior year, with good growth stemming from both the therapeutic and aesthetic businesses,” shared Chairman and CEO of Allergan, Inc., David Pyott. “Regarding BOTOX Cosmetic, we are pleased that the U.S. market seems to be growing around the mid-teens in units….[and] we estimate that in Q4 2010, that we enjoyed approximately worldwide 80% market share of the total neuromodulator market.”

Spectacular Growth in Facial Aesthetics Market

This demand translated to a “spectacular” 48.5% growth, in the entire facial aesthetics market. Coupled with the demand for Botox, Pyott commented that “it would seem that the dermal filler market is growing very strongly worldwide with more consumers entering the market given the comfort of the latest generation of lidocaine-containing hyaluronic acid products and more syringes being used per face. At the leading medical conventions around the world, there are increasing numbers of papers and symposia on the use of dermal fillers, especially for volumizing.”

IAPAM’s Symposium with Botox Training Helps Physicians Capture this Market

Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com), offers his analysis on the Allergan results. “As supported by the first quarter successes of Allergan’s suite of aesthetic medicine products: Botox, Juvederm and Latisse, it appears that people are putting more invasive procedures like facelifts on hold. Such cosmetic surgical options are down 28.9%. Conversely, more economical ‘liquid facelifts,’ using botulinum toxin products (Botox & Dysport) and dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, and Perlane), have grown significantly in popularity,” reflects Russell.

To assist physicians, “the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox Training, has garnered great praise from the physicians who have attended,” shares Russell. He also sees the benefits in offering complementary medical weight management (hCG for weight loss) and aesthetic medicine treatments to patients.

To capture this market growth, over 800 physicians, as well as their accompanying medspa managers, registered nurses, and assistants, have attended the IAPAM’s training programs. To register for an upcoming training session, please contact the IAPAM, at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704, or visit http://www.iapam.com or http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com.
