These pens are hard to find but I received fast service with no problems on this order. Thanks.
Rated by: Steven G. in San Rafael, CA
I've used the Razor Point II pen for two months. Originally, I bought one because I had trouble locating the Pilot Precise Ultra-Fine pen, which has been my default writing instrument for 15 years. The Razor Point II has many advantages over the Precise Ultra-Fine model. Its point is studier, making it less likely to bend or break off. Second, the ink flow is slightly more regulated than the Precise, making it easier to control the ink on a page. The only real disadvantage is that there is a slightly greater tendency for the ink to smear on a page. However, I've not found this to be a significant problem. I am so impressed with the Razor Point II that I've decided to make it my default pen from now on.

I am a writer and businessman. I have written several thousand pages over the past couple years and have become almost superstitious about these Razerpoints. I started using the first one in college and have never been able to find a pen to substitute the fine esoteric beauty of these pens lines. Unfortunately, they are very hard to find in stores and online. Thanx MA.
Rated by: Joanne B. in Longmont, CO
I am still happy to tell you that finding these pens on your website made my day, and receiving them was a terrific present. The Pilot Razor Point II is the best writing implement I have ever used. I'm a teacher and a calligrapher, and care very much how well a pen writes. This pen writes smoothly, leaves no residue, lasts a long time, ink is immediate and dark; a beautiful fine line and a smile are the outcomes of using this fine instrument! Please always keep them in stock!
Rated by: ALEX S. in RESERVE, NM
The Inkers Dream! I would give better than 5 stars if it were possible!!! This pen is the best that I have ever found for detail work, poinalism and hatching! very fine tip! smooth flowing ink! and very smooth writing or drawing!! I have used these pens for as long as I can remember. At times there were none to be found, forcing me to try others. I wasn't satisfied until I got my fingers back around one of these.

Steven & Casey Bell - Page Text Content

S: Steven and Casey

BC: Created With Love

FC: Steven and Casey

1: We are Steven and Casey, and we want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. We would like to start by expressing our respect, admiration, and gratitude for your courage right now. We can't imagine the feelings you have or will experience as you plan an adoption for your child. Our prayer for you is that God will lead and direct you in all of your decisions. First of all, we would like to give you some background on both of us. Steven is a nuclear security specialist for a nuclear power plant. Casey is a first grade teacher at a local elementary school. We would love to have a family that includes children to share in our lives. Our experience with infertility not only opened our eyes to the beauty of adoption, but also strengthened our marriage and better prepared us to be parents. We count ourselves lucky in this sense, that God has given us a special vision with which we will look upon our child. We have learned that we will not be careless with our love to a child that God leads us to. In our hearts we now view adoption as our first priority...as the way God meant for our family to begin. We are excited and very grateful to have you consider us as loving parents, and we pray that as you read this book you will have a glimpse of who we are, the love we share, and the life we live.

2: About Us | About Us We met a few years ago on a blind date. We began dating and right away knew that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We were married in the church that Casey grew up in with our families and friends by our sides. We have a very strong marriage and consider each other our best friends. We are active in our church and our community which gives us the loving support we need to have a prosperous marriage.

3: And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. Corinthians 13:13

4: I was raised by loving parents who have supported me in every aspect of my life. They provided me with the opportunities to have a successful and fulfilling life. I graduated from college with a BA in Early Childhood Education and a M.ED in Elementary Education. After graduation I went to work as a First Grade Teacher at a local elementary school. I have been employed there for nine years. My career still gives me time to devote to raising a family. I consider it a blessing to be able to be active in my child's life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, tutoring, cooking, shopping, traveling, exercising, college football and spending time with family and friends. | About Casey

5: I was raised as an only child. Even though I had undivided love and attention from my parents, they always made sure that I was involved in extracurricular activities and sports. I grew up surrounded by lots of extended family and friends. | God truly blessed me with a great childhood and lots of memories to pass on. I want my children to have the same wonderful experiences.

6: I grew up in a small town. I was the oldest child with a younger sister. Growing up I had a very supportive and loving family. I graduated college with a BS in Criminal Justice. Upon graduation I went to work as a Deputy Sheriff in my home county. Later, my degree allowed me to further my career by becoming a Nuclear Security Specialist for a nuclear power plant, where I have been employed for nine years.

7: I always had a great relationship with my family. Both of my parents are deceased, but they live on in my memories and in my heart. Even though Casey and I live two hours away from my sister, we talk to her daily and visit when possible. | When I was young, I participated in boy scouts and played baseball. I was also a member of my high school wrestling team. In my spare time I enjoy fishing, golfing, watching college football, playing guitar, being outdoors, and spending time with family and friends. | About Steven

8: Our home is a 5 bedroom, 4 and a half bath, three story house located in a small rural community, yet close to town. It is a neighborhood where neighbors become a part of your family. We have a huge yard with a creek running through the property. All in all, there is no better place for a child to grow up. | Our Home

9: We are super excited to have our nursery ready when our precious baby arrives. It will be a room fit for a prince or princess! | Nursery

10: Our Family is a circle of strength and love. With every birth and union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger! | My college graduation with my Grandmother's | Me, My Mom, Dad, Uncle and Cousin | Me, Mom and Dad | Me, Granny, and my Cousins

11: My Aunt, Uncle and Cousins | Family | Me and my Grandmother | Me and my Cousin Amber | My Cousin Tristin | Me and my Cousin Chandler

12: Family | Steven and Justin | Me, Steven, and my Cousin Chandler | Steven, Justin & Chandler | Steven and his Sister (April)

13: Steven's family (Uncles, Aunts, and Cousins) | Steven's Dad | Steven's Sister (April) and her boyfriend Keith | Steven and his Sister (April) | Steven's Mom

14: Friends | "Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget." | We have been blessed with some great friends. Our friends have always been a great support system and are always there for us. We love to get together and cook out at home or enjoy a long weekend out of town. Thank God for the gift of friendship! | My adopted friend and her adopted baby.

15: Bogey | He is our spoiled little Maltese. He loves playing with other dogs, going for rides, and going on vacation. Bogey is a good natured dog and is very good with children.

16: Holidays Nothing is more important to us than spending the holidays with our families. We get together for Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July, Mother's Day, Father's Day and lots of other holidays. We find holidays the perfect opportunity to spend time with our loved ones!

17: Birthdays | We like to get together with friends and family to celebrate birthdays. There's nothing like sharing special times with the people you love!

18: Vacations | KeyWest, FL | Nassau, Bahamas | We enjoy taking vacations whenever we get a chance. Whether a long weekend in the mountains or a week at the beach, we love the opportunity to get away and enjoy time together. Every summer we take a big family vacation with Casey's family. We think it's a great experience for our children to be able to travel. | Savanna, GA | Gatlinburg, TN | Hilton Head, SC | Charleston, SC

19: We are so excited about the possibility of sharing our life with your precious child and hope this book has given you a glimpse of what that life would be like. We want you to know that our home is warm and happy. It will always be a place of love and encouragement. Together, we will celebrate life...and we will always celebrate you. We wish you courage in the days ahead and will pray for the decisions you will make for your child. Thank you for learning more about us. Sincerely, Steven and Casey

If you're looking for an affordable and obtainable mortgage, don't overlook a USDA Rural Development Loan.

A lesser-known sibling to the FHA home loan program, USDA mortgages come with more restrictions, but also offer certain advantages that FHA loans lack. For example, they're one of the few ways you can still get a zero-down payment mortgage outside of the VA program for military veterans.

Compare favorably to FHA loans

USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture)Rural Development Loans allow for 100 percent financing, so no down payment is required. Interest rates are comparable to conventional mortgages, although you do have to pay a financing fee equal to 2 percent of the loan amount up front. This fee and certain other closing costs can be rolled into the loan.

There's no mortgage insurance required, although you do have to pay an annual fee equal to 0.3 percent of the loan balance, which is a bit less than you'd have to pay for PMI on a conventional mortgage with less than 20 percent down. This and the upfront fee are paid to USDA to fund the program, which is now designed to be self-sustaining and without direct government funding.

By comparison, FHA mortgages require a down payment of at least 3.5 percent. The upfront fee on FHA loans is only 1 percent, but the annual fee is 1.10-1.15 percent on 30-year loans, depending on the size of your down payment. That can make FHA loans more expensive than a USDA mortgage, though it depends on the interest rate you can obtain for one or the other.

Property, income limits apply

USDA Rural Development Loans have stricter limits on property types and borrower income than FHA mortgages do. As the name implies, USDA Rural Development mortgages are limited to home purchases in rural areas. However, the definition of rural is fairly broad - it includes small towns and the outlying areas of many small-to-midsized cities, so you don't have to buy a house out in the sticks to qualify.

USDA loans are also limited to persons of low and moderate incomes, but those limits vary depending on where you live. The general rule is that household income cannot exceed 115 percent of the median income for your area. In practice, you can earn up to $74,000 in most parts of the U.S. and still qualify, and considerably more in high-income areas.

The USDA offers an online tool here that lets you determine property and income eligibility for your state and county. Under property eligibility, a map shows you what areas are considered rural for purposes of the home loan program. Income limits are not listed up front, but entering your own information will tell you whether you qualify or not, and also show you the specific income limits for your county.

There are no specific limits on how much you can borrow, although program guidelines require that homes purchased must be modest in size, design and cost. Certain features deemed luxuries, such as an in-ground swimming pool, are not allowed. You also have to currently be without adequate housing to qualify for a USDA mortgage, although that is largely a judgment call by local officials.

Extended payments available for lower-income borrowers

If your income is less than 80 percent of the local median, you may be able to take advantage of the USDA's Rural Housing Direct Loan program, which is for low- or very-low income borrowers only. The Direct Loan program offers mortgage terms of up to 38 years on conventional homes or condos, or 30 years on manufactured homes. Payment assistance may be available. The Direct Loan program is available only to those with good credit histories who are unable to obtain credit elsewhere.

Where to apply

USDA Rural Development Loans are available through HUD-authorized lenders, often the same ones that offer FHA loans as well. A list of lenders in your area can be obtained by contacting your local USDA Rural Development Office.

S: Series spotlight - Hoffman, Coons

The Dynamics, Inc. Sprint car team of Milford, Ohio hopes to add to its all-time leading total of USAC National Sprint Car feature victories when the 2011 AMSOIL National campaign debuts February 17-19 at Ocala Speedway in Florida.

The "Bubby Army Winter Dirt Games" offers three consecutive nights of racing on the tricky egg-shaped 3/8-mile dirt track and with 76 wins already under their belt the Hoffman team is anxious to get the season started,

Founded in 1929 by the late August "Gus" Hoffman, who becomes the latest member of the Hoosier Auto Racing Fans Hall of Fame January 31, Dynamics, Inc. returns in 2011 with USAC Triple Crown Champion Jerry Coons Jr. at the wheel. Coons, the 2008 USAC National Sprint Car Champ, was responsible for the latest of the team's record nine car owner titles and has accounted for 13 of team's 76 wins including the last nine. He recorded victories last year at Lawrenceburg and Terre Haute.

The team will debut its new sponsor in 2011, Mean Green, a multi-purpose cleaner and degreaser.

Over 120 different drivers have piloted Hoffman Sprint cars through the years. Fourteen have won USAC National races, including Coons, Daron Clayton, Tracy Hines, Brian Tyler, Jon Stanbrough, Dave Darland, Andy Michner, Kenny Irwin Jr., Robbie Stanley, Cary Faas, Steve Butler, Rich Vogler, Larry Cannon and Jim Hemmings.

Florida is one state where victory lane has eluded the Hoffman Sprint Car team in USAC. Forty-four of the 76 wins came in Indiana, while 15 came in Ohio, four each in Arizona, Missouri and Pennsylvania, plus one each in Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas and California.

No guardians

(7 Posts)
Alibongo33 Wed 24-Jun-15 22:39:04

My and dh are getting things in order re: insurances, wills etc now we have dcs. We have nobody that is suitable we could name as guardian should the worst happen. My mum and dh parents are old and not in good health. We both have brothers but dh is NC with his and mine is not suitable. What do we do? We have some friends but none that we could ask such a thing of, they are more like football and drinking pals of dh.

In the event what would happen to DC? What have others done if you are in the same situation?

Littlef00t Thu 25-Jun-15 15:31:15

They would be fostered by social services and appropriate adoptive parents found for them, unless they were over 16 where they would possibly get assistance, but possibly not.

attheendoftheday Fri 26-Jun-15 18:38:14

I saw a really good TV show about this when do and I were going through the process of choosing guardians, it pointed out that whoever you choose will not be perfect, it might just be choosing the least bad option.

We ended up putting our mothers down despite issues to do with their age, as making them guardian does not mean they have to look after the kids, but that they would be able to choose who did. We put down dp's brother as a back up despite the fact I don't really like sil because I think it would be better than going into care or naming my brother who is very irresponsible.

In your case I would consider whether elderly parents of overseas siblings would be better than the alternative of going into care.

attheendoftheday Fri 26-Jun-15 18:40:16

Sorry, ignore comments about overseas siblings, I misread the op.

I would still consider parents, or I would decide going into care might be the best option available if your siblings are awful.

Sparklingbrook Fri 26-Jun-15 18:41:16

How old are your DC Alibongo?

Alibongo33 Fri 26-Jun-15 21:03:25

My children and 2 and 3. For some reason it is really bothering me. My dh has just turned 40 and I am 38. I do have anxiety issues over the whole parenting thing for which I am receiving help for.
Both DC have been christened with 4 each godparents and none of the 8 have taken any interest in them. I would have initially chosen my brother and sil but he left her when my eldest was a few months old and has been a since then.

My mother is only 63 but I am petrified she would fight for and get them and I am having therapy for my childhood. Eg my 3 year old has started to develop a stammer and she laughs at hersad

2.5 walls, approx 2.7m x 2.8m need skim coat - Plastering job in Cricklewood, North London

Job description

Old Victorian house, one bedroom was redecorated by someone who should never have been allowed near wet plaster (not me). Decided we need to just skim over the lot, ceiling to skirting board, to get a decent finish. We've flattened all the big ridges, so it should be a relatively simple job. The half wall is the one with a big window in the middle.

Feedback for superplast

Superb job, done on time and to budget. Can't ask for more than that. Would recommend and use again.

GPM Continues Environmental Testing
The GPM Core spacecraft has completed hot and cold thermal balance testing in the thermal vacuum chamber at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Next it will undergo hot and cold cycle thermal vacuum testing, where the temperatures are alternatively raised to 40 degrees C (104šF) and lowered to -14 degrees C (7šF) over the course of the next few weeks. The air inside the chamber was pumped out before testing began to simulate the vacuum of space.

Thermal vacuum testing is part of GPM's environmental test program to ensure that the satellite is ready for the harsh conditions of space and will continue into mid-January.

On Tuesday Nov. 13, 2012, the GPM Core Observatory was moved from the clean room to the thermal vacuum chamber. The spacecraft, wrapped in protective blankets, made the short trip by crane across the testing facility where it was then lowered into the 40-foot (12 meter) diameter test chamber.

Northern Gulf of Mexico

An amazing abundance of wildlife thrives along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in Mississippi. In estuaries, where salt water and fresh water mingle, more than 200 bird species (including migratory waterfowl) nest, rest and feed.

These estuaries are among the most productive in the world, producing 40 percent of the annual commercial fish yield in the United States. They also support an important sport-fishing industry, and are home to many animal and plant species during one or more stages of their lives. Important commercial species such as spotted sea trout, shrimp and blue crabs live here, as do oysters. The oysters help improve water quality by removing excess nutrients traveling downstream from rivers, and provide protection against coastal erosion and storm surges.

The coastal habitat is critical to rare and endangered animals including sea turtles, brown pelicans, Mississippi sandhill cranes, manatees and Gulf sturgeons, as well as majestic species like humpback and finback whales living further offshore.

The Conservancy utilizes a variety of techniques to improve and restore Gulf Coast areas. Ensuring healthy fisheries, clean water and natural buffers that minimize the effects of storms requires long-term commitments. The Conservancy remains active at the local, state, national and even global level to ensure policies and regulations help protect Mississippi's natural heritage and continues to provide invaluable services for people and wildlife.

Helping protect more than 16,000 acres of ecologically sensitive marshes, barrier islands and coastal uplands through the Coastal Preserve System includes partnering with the Mississippi Secretary of State's office and the Department of Marine Resources.

Additional efforts include restoring oyster reefs, which creates habitat for fish and other aquatic species and helps buffer the coast from erosion and storm surges. Scientists are also working to restore and enhance the management of seagrass beds along the coast by mapping damaged sites, improving signage to indicate 'safe to travel' routes for boaters, educating boaters and anglers on the importance of healthy seagrass beds, and monitoring progress with aerial photography.

Genome Res. 2007 Oct;17(10):1529-36. Epub 2007 Sep 4.

High-throughput methylation profiling by MCA coupled to CpG island microarray.

Author information

Department of Leukemia, UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA.

An abnormal pattern of DNA methylation occurs at specific genes in almost all neoplasms. The lack of high-throughput methods with high specificity and sensitivity to detect changes in DNA methylation has limited its application for clinical profiling. Here we overcome this limitation and present an improved method to identify methylated genes genome-wide by hybridizing a CpG island microarray with amplicons obtained by the methylated CpG island amplification technique (MCAM). We validated this method in three cancer cell lines and 15 primary colorectal tumors, resulting in the discovery of hundreds of new methylated genes in cancer. The sensitivity and specificity of the method to detect hypermethylated loci were 88% and 96%, respectively, according to validation by bisulfite-PCR. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering segregated the tumors into the expected subgroups based on CpG island methylator phenotype classification. In summary, MCAM is a suitable technique to discover methylated genes and to profile methylation changes in clinical samples in a high-throughput fashion.

Do neighbourhoods matter? Neighbourhood disorder and long-term trends in serum cortisol levels.

Author information

Department of Nutrition Sciences and Clinical Nutrition Research Center, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, USA.

Characteristics associated with low socioeconomic status neighbourhoods may put children at risk for unique chronic stressors that affect cortisol levels. This research sought to explore whether neighbourhood stressor exposure affected serum cortisol levels among children.

A total of 148 African and European-American children with an average age of 8.28 years participated in a longitudinal study evaluating ethnic differences in body composition and disease risk. Five waves of data were included in analyses. Mixed modelling was used to explore neighbourhood stressors, which was a composite index of five items for zip code level poverty and physical disorder, and serum cortisol outcomes for the full sample, by race/ethnicity and gender. Adjustments were made for individual level correlates age, pubertal status, gender and total fat mass.

Neighborhood disorder was predictive of lower serum cortisol levels among African-American children (p<0.05), such that higher neighbourhood stressor exposure resulted in lower serum cortisol over time compared with individuals in socially ordered neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood disorder was marginally significant and predictive of higher serum cortisol among European-American children (p<0.10). Transition to a higher pubertal status, nested in age was also predictive of lower serum cortisol levels (p<0.01) among European-American children.

Children who are exposed to negative socioenvironmental climates over time are more likely to have altered serum cortisol levels. This may be an adaptive mechanism to cope with stress; however, disrupted cortisol levels may have negative effects on general physical and mental health.

Robots get around by mimicking primates

Robots that visualise their surroundings like primates do can step out into uncharted territory

I know where I'm going

GIVE a friend directions, such as, “it’s across the street from a petrol station, just after a red brick building on the right…” and you can be pretty sure they’ll find what they are looking for. Robots, on the other hand, are hopeless at following such cues, because they can’t envision a perspective other than their own. But that’s about to change.

By mimicking how primates visualise an unfamiliar environment – a process called mental rotation – researchers are building a new kind of guidance system for robots.

Many species of animals perform mental rotation – a poorly understood aspect of spatial reasoning that is nonetheless an integral part of high-level cognition.

“If I tell you to turn left, you will probably ask whose left, mine or yours?” says Ronald Arkin of Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, who is leading the effort to incorporate this technique into software for controlling robots. “You have to transform your frame of reference,” he says.

The team is now testing their software in a lab setting. The researchers first supply the robot with a destination – a simplified image of how objects in their environment will look from a given perspective. The robot then uses depth information from an on-board Kinect motion sensor to establish how objects look in its surroundings.

Once it has built a picture of where it is, the robot “mentally” rotates the orientation of objects to match its destination, and then plots a path. As it trundles along, it continues to take images of its surroundings and compare them to its destination, just to make sure it is on the right track. In tests, a small four-wheeled robot used this method to find its way 6 metres across a lab floor to the right spot.

It’s a humble beginning, but Arkin says it’s the first time a robot has demonstrated the ability to receive visual instructions and act on them without a map. The work will be presented in December at the ROBIO conference in Guangzhou, China. “When the world isn’t as you expect it to be, this will help you,” he says, adding that the system could also be adapted to use speech recognition software to understand voice commands and use them to build a picture of the destination being described.

“For the first time a robot has the ability to receive visual instructions and act on them without a map”

The team’s work is taking robotic autonomy into untested waters, says Jeffrey Krichmar, who studies cognitive robotics at the University of California, Irvine. “There has been some work with speech recognition but a robot that can take advice and apply it is a very open area,” he says.

Giving robotic vehicles the ability to interpret an outside perspective would greatly improve their ability to navigate in the absence of conventional technologies, like GPS. “We expect this to give a cognitive push to robot navigation. It moves you in the general direction you need to go and then your other systems take over,” Arkin says.

Krichmar’s group has looked at adapting cognitive processes in rats for robotic navigation. He says that trying to transfer a model of primate cognition into robots is a big challenge, because of the higher degree of complexity.

For his part, Arkin thinks his team’s work in robots will lead to a better understanding of why primates have spatial reasoning skills in the first place. “It will not only help us add perspective-taking and advice-taking applications to robots,” he says, “but also help us understand processes we humans use every day, but know very little about.”

Fancy a game of Tetris?

Primates are thought to navigate through new environments using mental rotation (see main story) but no one is sure how it’s done.

To find out more, Kim Wallen of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, has gathered a group of rhesus monkeys around computers to play what looks like a game of Tetris.

The exercises are actually a series of mental rotation tasks to help researchers understand the cognitive processes monkeys use for navigation. Field studies suggest they navigate by remembering landmarks, or else build mental maps they can refer back to. The idea behind the new lab tests is to determine if the monkeys can mentally evaluate 3D shapes.

If inhaled corticosteroids are appropriate for children aged under 12 years who have chronic asthma, the least expensive product that is suitable for the individual child should be used.

If both an inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta-2 agonist are needed, then a combination device that contains both medicines may be used. The decision to use a combination device should be based on the individual child and their asthma. If a combination device is chosen, the least expensive device that is suitable for the individual child should be used.

Your responsibility

The recommendations in this guidance represent the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, health professionals are expected to take this guidance fully into account, alongside the individual needs, preferences and values of their patients. The application of the recommendations in this guidance is at the discretion of health professionals and their individual patients and do not override the responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or their carer or guardian.

Commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to provide the funding required to enable the guidance to be applied when individual health professionals and their patients wish to use it, in accordance with the NHS Constitution. They should do so in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, to advance equality of opportunity and to reduce health inequalities.

Commissioners and providers have a responsibility to promote an environmentally sustainable health and care system and should assess and reduce the environmental impact of implementing NICE recommendations wherever possible.

Two NIEHS grantees win prestigious White House awards

Two NIEHS grantees have received the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE).

Manish Arora, Ph.D., associate professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Catherine Karr, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington, were among 102 recipients honored in 2017. The PECASE were last awarded in 2014.

Arora credits nurturing system

Arora has worked to improve public health in remote areas of India and Africa, where he spent his youth. But he is perhaps best known for his work using lasers to map teeth and to reconstruct prenatal and early childhood exposures to metals and chemical mixtures. "Teeth are like tree rings," he explained. "Now we can map them for thousands of chemicals. We are slowly reconstructing people’s life histories."

Arora was nominated by David Balshaw, Ph.D., head of the NIEHS Exposure, Response, and Technology branch. "Dr. Arora has a unique skill set," Balshaw said. "His integration of physics, dentistry, and exposure science will result in great scientific strides in improving public health."

In 2014, Arora won a coveted $2.2 million New Innovator Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He called the award transformational and said the work it funds is ongoing.

Arora, who is the father of triplets, credited his parents; his mentor Robert Wright, M.D., at Mt. Sinai; and the support of NIH and NIEHS for his success. "It’s recognition not just of my work, but of a system that has been very nurturing," he said.

Karr stresses public service

Karr directs the Northwest Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit. She is also affiliated with several children’s health concerns, including the Pacific Northwest Center for Agricultural Safety and Health. Her research focuses on pediatric respiratory health, especially in farmworkers and their families in the Native American and Latino communities in Washington’s Yakima Valley.

Most studies on the connection between indoor air and pediatric asthma have focused on urban settings, but the same factors apply in rural areas: poverty; dilapidated housing with mold, moisture, and pests; and the infiltration of outdoor pollutants into indoor space. Researchers are measuring the effect of supplementing an asthma-related educational intervention with high-efficiency particulate air filters.

"I'm so honored to be recognized in this way for my work on behalf of improved environmental health for children," Karr said in an email. "NIEHS’s appreciation for the value of community-engaged approaches have made it possible for me to carry out a sustained research program."

"It's a richly deserved honor for an outstanding scientist doing important work to understand environmental health impacts," said Joel Kaufman, M.D., interim dean of the University of Washington School of Public Health. "The focus on impacts of environmental agents on early childhood in farming communities is important and understudied."

What is PECASE?

PECASE awardees are recognized for their pursuit of innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology, and their commitment to community service.

The awards were established by President Clinton in 1996. NIEHS grantee Young-Shin Kim, M.D., Ph.D., received a PECASE in 2014 for her autism research and community service. In 2007, Sven-Eric Jordt, Ph.D., now of Duke University, was the first NIEHS grantee to receive the honor.

This fabric has a degree of shine due to light reflecting off of the pile

Tips and Tricks:

  • Use chalk to mark the direction of the nap on the wrong side. Spread the fabric with the wrong side up or double layer with wrong sides together
  • Use super fine pins and pin together in the seam allowance. Try to avoid marking on the nap itself
  • To avoid stitching problems and ripping baste seams with water soluble thread then baste a second time to fill in the spaces. Stitch with a velvet “V” foot even feed or roller foot. Then press seam open with steam to dissolve thread.
  • When joining velvet to a lining or a smooth fabric, stitch with the velvet on top. Stitch with the nap even if stitching against the grain. Understitch by hand
  • Use a stiff brush to brush away loose pile at cut edges. Finish with a serger, Hong  Kong finish or Tricot binding.
  • When pressing cover the velvet with a thick towel. Do not handle while damp

To protect pants and skirts from hangers- sew in ribbon hanger loops and hang from ribbon. To freshen pile - hang in a steam filled bathroom for 30 min

Mr Stammers is… The Easter High Priest

Christmas isn’t bad, April Fool’s is good for a laugh and Bonfire Night is okay (if you’re not a hedgehog), but for this chap, nothing quite comes close to Easter. But it’s not the story of Christ reborn that he buzzes off. He’s into the traditional pagan way of doing things — ditching the egg hunt in favour of a Fly-Agaric assisted journey into the mind’s eye, he spends his Easter Sundays crafting stone circles in the garden centre rockery before winding down by setting fire to a wicker statue of the Cadbury’s Parrot.

My self-summary
Being on this site for as long as I have, I feel that an update to this little summary is in order.

At my core, I am just a simple kind of guy. I know I know it sounds cliche, but it is honestly the best way I can sum myself up. I don't really drink, I definitely don't smoke, and am in no hurry to ruin my body with really crappy chemicals that just doesn't lead to a pleasant end.
I am most definitely a homebody, no two ways about it. Give me a good book, warm company, and I will be just peaches for the whole day. That isn't to say though that I am not active oh no. I take extremely long walks in the morning (usually) and play football with my friends on the weekend.

I also like the geekier things in life: Video Games, Card games like Magic the Gathering, Books, Comic, even some Manga and Anime. I love talking about story development, character development, all of the things that make story telling great and is my main drive to one day becoming a writer across different entertainment mediums.

Ultimately though, I'm just looking to have a good time and a decent life like everyone else in the world. No complications, no drama, just something nice.

People like to post little challenges about filling in a line from movies to showcase your movie/game/tv show geek cred. I happen to find that interesting so I have a little one of my own.

Send a note to me, if you would please, completing the first part of this line: "....I am a stranger traveling from the West, it is I whom you seek."
Bonus points for movie referenced!
What I’m doing with my life
Currently in college getting my degree in Administration of Justice to be a youth counselor, but thats not the end goal of what I want to do with my life. I would really like to be a professional writer across many different mediums of entertainment, most notable comic books and regular books.

College wasn't really working out for me, so I have decided to enlist in the Job Corps center in LA to study to become an electrician of some kind. My goal of being a writer hasn't changed, but the path I am taking has.
I’m really good at
walking, talking, listening, organizing, and just generally being there to support my friends and family should it be asked of me.
The first things people usually notice about me
Generally people have said that I'm a nice guy, and the other things they tend to notice is that sometimes I am really loud, I have slightly thick lens for my glasses, and that I tend to wear a jacket a lot.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I have many books that are my favorite so I will instead list some of my favorite authors: Jim Butcher, Tim Waggoner, R.A. Salvatore, Rachel Caine, Simon R. Green, and Kevin Hearne.

I enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, suspense, thriller, some horror, and action movies as well as tv shows. Some examples are Doctor Who, Firefly, Heroes, NCIS, CSI, 48 hours, and some cartoon shows like Batman or Green Lantern.

Im generally pretty open to music except for many forms of country and rap. I just can't get into them.

I've been pushing myself in to trying new dishes and foods when I can and I have to say my palette is getting very expansive. I'm always up for trying new things now, but I just can't say no to a good pizza.
Six things I could never do without
Laptop, a book, my cell phone, something to drink, something to eat, and my glasses
I spend a lot of time thinking about
General stuff really. I like to think about philosophical questions and concepts while sometimes dabbling into the supernatural. Most of the time though, my head is filled with thoughts and visions of story concepts for my various stories or random epic battle scenes from distant lands/galaxies.
On a typical Friday night I am
At home on my laptop typing something whether it be conversing with friends, reading webcomics, writing something, listening to music, watching different webshows or on those rare occasions I actually leave the house I am playing Magic the Gathering with the fellas.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
If we talk for a bit and like one another you will know doubt find out a lot of interesting things about me. ;)
You should message me if
If you like anything that you saw above, if you want to chat at all about thing of the geeky variety, I am always happy to talk over messages or IM.

My self-summary
Hey there. My name is James. I'm a lover and a fighter, a painter, a porn vendor, a would-be philanthropist, a home-body, and am perpetually reinventing myself.

I like sociopolitical documentaries, long walks on the beach, and pondering solutions to world issues.
What I’m doing with my life
At the moment I work part-time at the love shop, and am in the midst of starting up a web-cam show.

My goals in my life are to speak at least 5 languages fluently, and to learn computer programming and build robots/drones/3D-printers and solve many of the world's problems with them. I'm working steadily towards both goals!
I’m really good at
Languages are kinda my thing. I studied linguistics at U of T for a year, and I tend to pick up languages really fast. I know bits and pieces of many tongues.

I'm also a bit of a technology buff. I'm into gadgetry and gizmos, and can probably tell what phone you have at first glance.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm pretty tall. That's usually the first comment. Haha
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I'm really into the Game of Thrones books/show right now. Apart from that I'm not really caught up in anything. Seen some of the current season of big brother because my friends force me to watch, haha. Kenny is a fox!
Six things I could never do without
My phone, hot showers, the internet, cake, long drives, and hugs
I spend a lot of time thinking about
What the major problems are with the world are, and how I can personally fix them. Lol
On a typical Friday night I am
Reading and baking cookies.
You should message me if
You don't bore easy. I tend to ramble about things you won't care about. Haha!

alexa Genistein mediated histone acetylation and demethylation activates tumor suppressor genes in prostate cancer cells.
Genetics & Molecular Biology

Hereditary Genetics: Current Research

Author(s): Kikuno N, Shiina H, Urakami S, Kawamoto K, Hirata H,

Abstract Share this page

Abstract Genistein is a phytoestrogen that has been reported to suppress the AKT signaling pathway in several malignancies. However, the molecular mechanism of genistein action is not known. We tested the hypothesis that genistein activates expression of several aberrantly silenced tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) that have unmethylated promoters such as PTEN, CYLD, p53 and FOXO3a. We report here that genistein activates TSGs through remodeling of the heterochromatic domains at promoters in prostate cancer cells by modulating histone H3-Lysine 9 (H3-K9) methylation and deacetylation. Genistein activation involved demethylation and acetylation of H3-K9 at the PTEN and the CYLD promoter, while acetylation of H3-K9 at the p53 and the FOXO3a promoter occurred through reduction of endogenous SIRT1 activity. There was a decrease of SIRT1 expression and accumulation of SIRT1 in the cytoplasm from the nucleus. Increased expression of these TSGs was also reciprocally related to attenuation of phosphorylated-AKT and NF-kappaB binding activity in prostate cancer cells. This is the first report describing a novel epigenetic pathway that activates TSGs by modulating either histone H3-Lysine 9 (H3-K9) methylation or deacetylation at gene promoters leading to inhibition of the AKT signaling pathway. These findings strengthen the understanding of how genistein may be chemoprotective in prostate cancer.
