GRAPEVINE, TX, February 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) There is no argument that the real estate market in Texas is better than most of the US right now, but it can still be a tough business. It's often cut-throat, time consuming, and very stressful. Having a bit of an edge can be very helpful to a real estate or lending professional, and the partners Rising Point Solutions, LLC have found a way to do that. For those in real estate and lending, good connections mean good business.
Rising Point Company President, Carl Stanley, says he has always been a believer in networking. "A few years ago we made some pretty big investments as event sponsors with some networking groups. I wanted a new and better way to bring many people together at once, and keep it casual and free of charge for the people who came. Something that would help me get new contacts, and help my business partners get contacts too."
In July of 2010 the company contracted Carolyn Clark, an event coordinator, to start what became The Roundup (www.theroundupevents.com). Stanley states that Clark's background in planning a similar type of event that the company had sponsored previously was an obvious fit. Plus, it's really increased his business. "We actually need more office help now with our workload" thanks to the events, he says.
Director of Operations, Monty Brouse, states that The Roundup also "helps people get away from work stresses and relax," and that goes for him personally, as well. "It really is a lot of fun, and I've met some really great people in the business at these things."
Sponsors of the event cover the operating costs for a reasonable fee, and in return are the "star" of the event in their area. They also receive heavy advertising on the web and through weekly emails sent to a very specific audience of real estate and lending professionals. They receive the attendee's contact information as well, which one of the sponsors said was "worth the monthly cost alone."
The attendees also seem to be thrilled with all of the new connections they are making at the events. Posts on the Facebook invitations at press time include:
"It truly is a great opportunity!"
"Wouldn't miss it!"
"I will be there! Can't wait!"
"Both the Fort Worth and the Dallas group are great!"
With the support of sponsors in each area, Rising Point Solutions, LLC has plans to expand to all major markets in Texas with The Roundup. Mid-market areas such as Waco, Abeline, and Amarillo are possibilities as well. Stanley states, "We've had such great success with the connections we've made so far, we're going to do our best to keep this going well into the future."
Rising Point Solutions, LLC has a mission to change people's lives by providing an honest, professional credit consulting and restoration program. Rising Point also seeks to help professionals in mortgage and lending make great connections through www.TheRoundupEvents.com. For more information, please call the Event Coordinator at 817-455-5255.

2011-02-21
The law firm of Roberts Law Group recently defended a woman accused of having a sexual relationship with a 14 year old. Although the woman was facing six counts of statutory rape and sex offenses, Raleigh criminal defense attorney Patrick Roberts secured probation instead of a lengthy 20 to 30 year prison sentence.
By quickly negotiating a plea agreement, Mr. Roberts' client spent only three months in custody while her case was pending. Although she received a sentence of five years probation and must register for the sex offender registry, Mr. Roberts' client is, however, ...

Wage Garnishment Released by the Expert Team at Blue Tax
2011-02-21
A wage garnishment is one of the most intimidating powers that the IRS can use in an effort to retrieve unpaid taxes from a taxpayer. Intimidating because it is immediately effective in taking money from the taxpayer and placing it in the hands of the IRS, whether it's convenient or not for the taxpayer and regardless of whether that person can afford it.
Wage garnishments by the IRS and State are common when a taxpayer has not filed taxes in many years. Take John M. (Diamondbar, CA) who came to Blue Tax panicked when the Franchise Tax Board placed a bi-weekly wage ...

Ben-Gurion U. research leads to improved calcium supplement derived from crustacean shells
2011-02-20
BEER-SHEVA, ISRAEL, February, 18 2011– Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers have developed a unique technology that stabilizes an otherwise unstable form of calcium carbonate. This mineral form provides significantly higher biological absorption and retention rates than other sources presently used as dietary calcium supplements.
Calcium is considered to be one of the most important minerals in the human body for maintaining bone mass and coronary health. Insufficient dietary calcium intake can induce osteoporosis and poor blood-clotting.
"Since most ...
UC Santa Cruz scientist uses storm-chasing weather radar to track bat populations
2011-02-20
SANTA CRUZ, CA. -- Storm chasers have become bat watchers.
A scientist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, working with meteorologists at the University of Oklahoma, is using mobile storm-chasing radars to follow swarms of bats as they emerge from their caves each night to forage on insects.
The radar images of bats appear as distinct "blooms" of radar reflectivity and give scientists clues to their behavior, said Winifred F. Frick, a post doctoral researcher in environmental studies at UC Santa Cruz. Frick, a bat expert, is working with professor Thomas ...
OU researchers tapping the potential of radar technologies to advance aeroecology
2011-02-20
University of Oklahoma researchers are part of a growing cross-disciplinary collaboration that seeks to tap the potential of radar technologies to advance aeroecology—a field that integrates atmospheric science, earth science, geography, ecology, computer science, computational biology and engineering.
According to Phillip Chilson, professor in the OU School of Meteorology and Atmospheric Radar Research Center, radar technologies have the potential for detecting and monitoring organisms in the aerosphere, which requires a greater understanding of biology within the radar ...
Doing good with operations research
2011-02-20
For Northwestern University's Karen Smilowitz, the term "industrial engineering" is a bit of a misnomer. It evokes the image of the engineer in a factory with a stopwatch in hand, making sure production is as efficient as possible.
Surely some industrial engineers still do that. But these days, industrial engineering has grown beyond the factory and into the world of business. Others have taken it one step further -- into nonprofits.
Smilowitz has co-organized a symposium, "Doing Good with Good OR: Applying Operations Research for Societal Impact," to highlight such ...
Biodiversity in danger: Which areas should be protected?
2011-02-20
Biodiversity loss is a growing concern. Protected areas are a instrument to counteract this trend. The UN's Convention on Biological Diversity conference of the parties in Nagoya (October 2010) set stringent new targets to be reached by 2020. At least 17% of terrestrial and inland water and 10% of coastal and marine areas have to be protected. But are protected areas really protected? Are they in the right place? Where should new protected areas be located? The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), in collaboration with other partners, is helping decision-makers ...
First certified reference material for nanoparticle size analysis
2011-02-20
Nanotechnology offers a range of benefits over traditional materials and enables the development of innovative applications and products. However, there are often concerns about the safety aspects and to what extent these have been investigated. High-quality measurements are the basis for reliable safety assessments, process improvement, quality control and the development of new nanotechnology applications.
Until now, however, no certified benchmarks incorporating industrial nanoparticles were available. Some synthetic materials were available, but they were not fully ...
