This Butternut Sage Scone recipe is one I found on the food-52 site. Scones are really easy to make and follow the less is more theory, don't overwork it and they will come out tender and flakey, overwork them and they will be hockey pucks. These are great with brunch or even made small as little tea sandwiches filled with ham and cheese. And you must freeze them before baking so you can always have them on hand.
Optional Cinnamon drizzle- mix 1 cup confectioner’s sugar with ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Add 2 tablespoons warm water. Stir until smooth. It should be thick like corn syrup. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade, place the dry ingredients and the chopped sage, and pulse to combine. Add the butter, and pulse about 10 or so times. You want to retain some small pieces of butter. Transfer the flour mixture to a large mixing bowl. If you've got some really large butter lumps, just squish them with the back of a fork. In a large measuring cup, place the squash, egg and heavy cream. Mix well. Pour into flour mixture. With a dinner fork, fold the wet into the dry as you gradually turn the bowl. When dough begins to gather, use a plastic bowl scraper to gently knead the dough into a ball shape. Transfer the dough ball to a floured board. Gently pat into a 6” circle. With a pastry scraper or large chef’s knife, cut into 8 triangles. Place the scones on a wax paper-lined sheet pan and freeze until solid. Once they are frozen, you can store them in a plastic freezer bag for several weeks. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place frozen scones on a parchment-lined sheet pan, about 1 inch apart. Brush with cream. Take the whole sage leaves, brush front and back with cream and place on tops of scones. Sprinkle tops of scones with sugar. Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes, turning pan halfway through. They are done when a wooden skewer comes out clean. When cool, drizzle with cinnamon glaze.

Dancing to Latino music requires percussion instruments because the beat of the music is all important. It controls the speed at which the steps are performed. Many types of Latino music, such as Cuban, are very fast. They range between 100 and 140 beats per minute. It takes plenty of skill to be able to keep the beat going precisely for this type of music. That is why a variety of instruments are necessary.
Latino culture is very diverse and has many very different types of dance music. One of the easiest forms to learn is Cuban Salsa music. This requires a percussion instrumentalist to keep the band and dancers on time at about 100 beats per minute. Claves are used for the overall beat, but they are joined by a host of percussion instruments. Each one has a distinct sound such as the Cencerro or Cow Bell. This provides two different musical notes depending upon where it is struck.
The Timbales are a set of two drums struck with a stick. They add to the rhythmic portion of Cuban music. The drum on the left is larger at 14” and produces a slight deeper pitched sound. The one on the right is only 13” across and provides a different tone that is higher in pitch. Played throughout the music, they provide an accentuating beat for dancers.
Bongos and conga drums are also used to measure time in Cuban music and give dancers yet more rhythmic support. Bongos are drums made of wooden shells with skin stretched across the top. They are struck with the hand. The conga drum is also made with a wooden shell and skin top. The wooden section is longer to give it a distinct sound of its own. It is played by hand, and its beat is one more facet of this highly rhythmic musical dance style.

Roadmaps to Graduation / What Courses Should I Take?
With emphasis placed on leadership in practice, the program fosters expanded understanding of the many contexts in which educational leadership takes place. It focuses on the expertise, scholarship, and community-based inquiry necessary to advance all students’ rights to an education that supports social and economic justice and academic success. The program aims to develop leaders who engage in collaboration with members of diverse urban communities to analyze how the policies and practices of educational, political and legal institutions have addressed issues of access, equity, and full democratic participation. The program goals are woven through the three emphases offered in the CSULA program: Educational Leadership for System and School Redesign; Educational Leadership for Urban Teaching and Learning; and Educational Leadership for Students' Special Needs and Supports.
Students will select an emphasis area when applying to the program and incoming cohorts will be balanced with students from each area of emphasis. Course work will consist of core courses taken by all students in the cohort and courses specific to the emphases will be taken by students specializing in those areas. To provide students with peer support and faculty advising and mentoring from entry to the doctoral program through completion of the dissertation process, each session students will enroll in small lab courses (laboratories of practice) led by faculty members whose scholarly and research expertise match students’ interests. In this way, students not only benefit from the collective knowledge, experience and interest of a diverse cohort but also from the ongoing collaboration and participation in research-related activities that small peer-group settings can best provide.

Many of us like to go fishing but there are occasions when the weather is just too foul to sit on the edge of a river or reservoir waiting for that satisfying tug on the rod that says you have successfully snared a fish. If you are one of the many thousands of fishing enthusiasts around the United Kingdom who like to fish but can’t always get to go fishing then there may be an alternative: why not combine the joys of fishing with the comfort of staying indoors and fishing on your PC or video games console?
What is a Fishing Simulator?
A fishing simulator is just like a flight simulator the notable exception being that you are using a rod and a net as opposed to a jumbo jet and a runway. Simulator games have become very popular in the last few years not least because of the advances in technology and also the reduction in the price of said technology. Hundreds of thousands of homes up and down the United Kingdom have a personal computer or some version of a video games console on which you can happily while away the hours without leaving the comfort of your armchair.
A simulator is a three dimensional representation of a real world environment which is normally built using scaled drawings and photographs of actual places around the world. The joy of these simulators is that you can go fishing for almost any species of fish you would care to mention and do so in the waters of many exotic locations – all for the price of a single train ticket.
What are the Benefits of Fishing Games?
Believe it or not many professionals use this type of simulator style games to hone their skills just like a golfer or cricketer would do. As we have already mentioned the main advantage is that you don’t have to lug tackle, rods, and nets and assorted other fishing equipment around with you and likewise you don’t have to leave the house. Of course there is nothing that can make up for the great outdoors or the sights and smells associated with them but for the beginner fishing simulators – or Sims as they are known – are a good place to start.
What Kind of Fishing Games are There?
The list really is endless. You should be aware though when purchasing such a game from the Internet that not all games work in the United Kingdom. Games designed for sale in the United States of America, Japan and Asia are encoded in a particular way and will not work on European consoles although for the most part PC versions will run on almost any computer providing they have the right specification in terms of memory and graphics. Check the specifications before purchase to make sure your game will run on your console or computer.
Are These Games Expensive to Buy?
This depends on where you buy them from. Many of the new release games especially those for the newer consoles can cost anything from £30 to £50 so it is sometimes worth waiting until the prices start to drop: you can find bargain priced games on the Internet if you know where to look or by simply using one of the many search engines available.
As we have already mentioned though – and it is worth reiterating – it is important to check that the game you are purchasing is compatible with your console or computer as refunds, especially from other countries are sometimes difficult to obtain.
You will also find a host of fishing games hosted online by a variety of websites and again running a search through one of the search engines should provide you with a wide ranging selection. Some require a subscription to unlock the full game so you should check before downloading any programs to your computer.

World Champion Viswanathan Anand scored an emphatic victory over world number two Levon Aronian of Armenia to jump to joint lead with two others after the fourth round of the Tata Steel chess tournament.
Having gone through a rough patch in the past seven months since winning the world championship match last May, this is a big recovery for Anand in the early stages of the first super tournament of the year and the way it came left all chess buffs awestruck.
World number one Magnus Carlsen of Norway and Russian Sergey Karjakin now share the lead with Anand on three points with the former extending his winning streak at the expense of P Harikrishna while the latter was lucky to escape with a draw against American Hikaru Nakamura.
After a little lull in the first three rounds the day produced as many as five decisive games. Italian Fabiano Caruana defeated Ivan Sokolov of Holland, Dutchman Loek van Wely won against compatriot Erwin L'Ami while the all-Chinese duel between Wang Hao and Yifan Hou ended in favour of the former.
In the other game of the day, local star Anish Giri signed peace with Hungarian Peter Leko.
With nine rounds still to come in the category-20 super tournament between 14 players, the three leaders enjoy a full point lead over Leko, Wang Hao, Nakamura, Harikrishna, Caruana and van Wely who all have two points each.
Another half a point adrift are Aronian, Giri, L'Ami and Sokolov while former women's world champion Yifan Hou is at the bottom of standings with one point to her credit.
Anand went for the Slav defense and caught Aronian unawares in one of the deeply analysed variation.
"I had prepared this variation for Boris (Gelfand) for the match but I had to remember a lot of variations," Anand said after the game.
As it happened, Aronian could not quite recover after Anand came up with a spectacular sacrifice on move 15 and another spectacle followed on the next move when Anand put his knight en prise.
Aronian won Anand's rook but by then it was over. With effortless display, Anand took his queen to king side to deliver the knockout punch. This game will probably go down as the game of the year according to pundits and will surely find its way in the best games ever list.
"This could easily be one of the best games I have played. To win a game like this against Levon, who is my nightmare opponent, as you probably know, is definitely wonderful," Anand said in the post game chat.
"I ran into a theoretical trap. I was not aware of Bc5, which is very strong. Vishy said he had prepared it for somebody else. I should study openings better," said Aronian.
Carlsen over-powered Harikrishna out of a Ponziani opening that does not find many takers these days. Harikrishna went for the complications early and had a tangible position in the middle game but the debutant Indian could not find the best moves under pressure. Carlsen sacrificed a couple of pawns and it was all over once he won them back.
The matches will resume after the first of the three rest days planned during the tournament. In the fifth round, Anand will take on Carlsen.

IntraLinks (NYSE: IL), a leading provider of critical information exchange solutions, today announced that IMG Partners LTD (IMG) has selected IntraLinks' cloud-based solutions to securely communicate with its global investor community. IMG, an independent private equity real estate fund manager focused on the Russian market, is using IntraLinks to raise its second fund, Russia Development Fund II.
"In the current fundraising environment, investors have significant demands for timely access to large quantities of due diligence information," said Stephen Terzolo, Investor Relations Manager at IMG. "Previously, IMG used traditional fundraising methods, such as postal mail, e-mail, courier services and on-site visits, to communicate with investors. As the global regulatory environment has evolved, there is now a need for a more secure and auditable conduit through which to share critical information with investors. Given these heightened compliance and regulatory requirements, IMG sought a secure online solution that would both adhere to these policies and facilitate the communication of information to investors. IMG ultimately selected IntraLinks due to its outstanding reputation and because the majority of our potential investors already use the platform."
With IntraLinks, IMG can now deliver secure access and share due diligence documents instantaneously with investors, giving the company the operational ability to execute a successful fundraise. IntraLinks also enables IMG to gain intelligence and accelerate the fundraising process by providing real time reporting to pinpoint the most interested investors and also reduces the risk of violating regulatory mandates by generating an audit trail for each document shared with investors.
"Given the fact that investors are more conservative in the current climate, private equity companies need to demonstrate operational competency and ensure information is readily accessible to help investors make informed decisions," said Derek Flynn, managing director and senior vice president sales for EMEA, IntraLinks. "IMG can now share confidential information quickly and securely, whilst retaining control, enabling them to focus on the fundraising strategy rather than time intensive administrative tasks."

A new study that questions the effectiveness of acetaminophen for low back pain (LBP) and hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) has also sparked a discussion about what does work: namely, movement and exercise.
The study itself, published in the March 31 British Medical Journal (BMJ), analyzed results from 13 randomized clinical trials that evaluated short-term pain and disability outcomes for a total of 5,366 patients who received either acetaminophen or a placebo for LBP (1,825 patients) or OA (3,541 patients).
Researchers concluded that evidence was strong that acetaminophen is "ineffective" for reducing pain intensity or improving quality of life in the short term for people with LBP, and provides "minimal short-term benefit" for individuals with hip or knee OA.
"Overall, our research is based in 'high quality' evidence … and therefore further research is unlikely to change this evidence," authors write. "This systematic review should inform clinical practice and policy with regard to first line care of these patients."
The study was accompanied by an editorial in BMJ titled "Physical treatments are the way forward." In that editorial, authors cite the UK's National Institute for Health Care and Excellence (NICE) recommendation that all patients with OA receive information on exercise and weight management (if appropriate) and write that "the effectiveness of exercise for both osteoarthritis and spinal pain is established."
The editorial names physical therapists as "key professionals to offer expert advice and support in this regard," and calls for a shift in treatment away from drugs.
"Changing behavior of doctors and their patients is notoriously difficult, but the findings [of the study] emphasize that the time has come to shift our attention away from tablets as the default option for managing chronic musculoskeletal pain," editorial authors write. "Non-pharmacological treatments work, are safe, and have benefits that reach beyond the musculoskeletal system."
The BMJ study was reported in the media, including on websites for the Today show and US News and World Report, which posted a report on the study first published in HealthDay. Both reports mentioned physical therapy as an effective treatment.
The HealthDay article also included a response to the study from Allyson Shrikhande, MD, a physiatrist in New York City. Like the BMJ editorial authors, Shrikhande cited the efficacy of nondrug approaches. "Strengthening exercises have been shown to decrease pain in knee osteoarthritis," Shrikhande is quoted as saying in the HealthDay article. "Physicians often prescribe [acetaminophen] or other oral medications as first-line treatment, but perhaps an individually tailored physical therapy program should be tried prior to the use of [acetaminophen] or other oral pain medications."
The BMJ study authors themselves also acknowledge the benefits of an approach based on movement.
"Recent evidence on lower limb [OA] shows that exercises (such as strengthening exercise) compared with no exercise control result in large treatment effects for pain reduction," authors write. "[Acetaminophen] alone therefore might not be sufficient to treat hip or knee OA and might need to be accompanied by other management strategies, such as exercises or advice/education."
The Health Center for Low Back Pain at MoveForwardPT.com, APTA’s official consumer information website, includes numerous resources about the benefits of physical therapist treatment.

Recently I posted about removing white marks left from Frixion pen marking on dark fabrics. I mentioned that I would be discussing other marking tools in the future. The two tools I am reporting on today are the Sewline Fabric Pencil and white dressmaker’s chalk.
The Sewline Fabric Pencil comes in two versions – a single color version and a three-color version, where all three colors are inside the same holder. The lead can be purchased separately so the pencils can be refilled, and the lead never has to be sharpened. The colors available are white, pink, and black (more of a dark grey).
These pencils come with an eraser, and here is what the marks looked like after I erased them in the center. The white and pink came off reasonably well, but the black did not.
I then washed the fabric with dishwashing detergent and water and dried it. With some scrubbing, the lines all came off. So these markers do the job. I don’t like the idea of having to scrub my quilt, but at least the marks can be removed. And the light colors came off most easily.
The other marking tool I have tested is white chalk. Dressmaker’s chalk comes in several forms, but the kind I am using today is the flat square shape, curved on the sides. It comes in several colors also, but the white is most easily removed so I don’t recommend the other colors. There is also an artist’s chalk in pencil form ( the Ultimate Marking Pencil) I recently purchased, as shown in the photos below. Marks from both these kinds of chalk can be ironed away, as I will show you. Warning: there are other chalks labeled “dressmaker chalk” on the market. Some of them will not iron away. As always, test before using on your quilt!
It’s magic! The white chalk does not leave as fine a line as the Sewline markers or the Frixion pens I reviewed in an earlier post. But if you can live with the thicker line and the need to sharpen the chalk marker from time to time, it is a great solution because it can be removed so easily.

The majestic Marañón River, the source of the Amazon, descends from the high Andean Mountains, picking up waters from dozens of tributaries carving spectacular canyons until it reaches the flatlands of the Amazon. The Peruvian government calls it the country's "energy artery" as it plans to harness the river's hydropower potential by building more than 20 dams on the mainstem Marañón in order to power mining projects and export electricity to Brazil.
However, the Marañón River Basin is also a unique ecosystem that supplies the vast majority of the water, sediment, nutrients, and organic matter to the main-stem Amazon, fueling one of the world’s most productive floodplain ecosystems. As with many other Tropical Andes river basins, the Marañón provides the habitat and spawning grounds for many economically and ecologically important Amazonian fish species, including many that migrate from the floodplains to the foothills. Transforming a free-flowing Marañón River into a highly fragmented, regulated hydropower cascade will cause cumulative impacts on ecosystem services provided by the basin, such as climate regulation, biodiversity, food security, and transportation among others. However, these cumulative impacts have not been fully studied or considered by developers.
Reservoir sizes: These projects would cumulatively inundate 7100 sq km and over 80% of the length of the mainstem river (from the most downstream to the most upstream projects) would be flooded.
Concerns : Cumulative impacts of the projects on local and downstream people who rely on the aquatic and terrestrial resources provided by the river for food and income. Dams blocking the vast amounts of sediment, and accompanying minerals and nutrients, carried by the Marañón that support millions of fish in the Amazon Basin. Lack of protection of the region's unique biodiversity and sensitive ecosystems. Displaced communities, creating great uncertainty possibly leading to poverty.
New Resources : This study provides the first complete set of maps of potential reservoir inundation areas. However, these maps are based on historic data and point to the need for the government to release more information on its plans for the basin.
This study pieces together historic and current information to create the first maps of the potential flooded areas caused by the dams planned for the upper mainstem Marañón River. Since the Peruvian government has not released detailed information on most of the dams, project specifications were taken from those listed in the report “Evaluación del Potencial Hidroeléctrico Nacional” written in 1968 by the German & Peruvian governments. Depending on a dated study produced large amounts of uncertainty in these map projections, but these historical data are currently the best publicly available information for most of the dams.
The maps produced by this study illustrate the enormous scale of the development plans for the region, and point to the huge cumulative impacts these projects will have on local and downstream people and unique ecosystems. If all the planned projects were built, approximately 7100 sq km of land and river would be flooded, including many villages and towns. Over 80% of the length of the mainstem river, from the first to the last dam, would be inundated. The currently vibrant and wild river would be almost completely drowned.
Additionally, .shp or .kmz files are available for users who use Google Earth and geographic information systems.
Finally, a document that outlines the data sources and methods used for this study is available to download that includes smaller maps of the individual planned reservoirs as well as additional data.
The findings of this report can be updated as soon as the Peruvian government releases all studies pertaining to the Marañón mainstem cascade. There has been considerable improvement in the government’s mechanism for releasing data and we hope this continues and that enough time is granted for civil society to analyze potential impacts from hydroelectric projects. More broadly, the government must allow for open, public participation in the creation of its national energy matrix, by way of an Integrated Resource Plan for the electricity sector.

The books not only helped Attik conquer the world, they're part of its DNA. Its founders tell Garrick Webster why self-promotion is everything.
Rounding the M25 southbound past Heathrow there's a massive billboard for motorists to admire. Lately it's been adorned with a colourful Coca-Cola graphic, the work of global design agency Attik. You're only as good as your last job - and placement like this is a promotional coup for just about any designer. But Attik has learned from years of experience never to rest on its laurels.
"The competition's consistently intense, and there's always somebody behind you that is creatively just as good, sometimes better. You've continually got to be marketing yourself," says co-founder Simon Needham. "We really do have to try and get out there in the public eye to some degree."
For Attik, the key is an ongoing project called Noise, which began in 1995. Ostensibly a series of creative design books, the agency has used it to make their name known globally. Taking their moniker from the attic in Huddersfield where they started in 1986, Attik now has offices in London, Leeds, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Their client list includes Adidas, Lexus, Sony, Sheraton, Heineken, Nike and the NFL.
The first edition of Noise was the first step in Attik's global conquest. It wasn't originally conceived to get the company out of Huddersfield, but the aim was to find newer, more exciting clients in London. Until then, their work came from manufacturing, engineering and utility companies in the North. Giving the designers free rein to create inspiring imagery, after enlisting support from a paper merchant, printer and repro house, they put it together in a book.
"It was an experiment," explains James Sommerville, Attik's other co-founder. "It was probably all done in QuarkXPress and Photoshop 1. It had a lot of hand-generated typography and textures. We were just manipulating and playing, trying to get our heads around the new software that was emerging. Lots of accidents happened and we thought it looked cool, so we saved it."
Thanks to cutting-edge creativity, Noise 1 became more than just a brochure. It was the calling card for the team's new London office, and they began winning work in music and the emerging computer games sector. Designers and art directors were seeking the studio out, offering to buy it.
"At that point, being entrepreneurs, it was like: 'So there's money in this, then.' As soon as we realised there was an opportunity to turn a profit, we decided to go ahead and plan something a little bit more serious. We soon realised that the guys in the studio just loved doing this stuff. Any downtime was an opportunity for them to do some cool stuff," Needham remembers.
"That's when the penny dropped," adds Sommerville. "We could use this not only to speak to more interesting clients that we would really love to work for, but we could take this away from the corporate brochure sector to something where you could walk into a bookstore and say, 'Can I have a copy of this?' That was a big shift in the way we perceived Noise, so rather than being a promotional brochure, it became this book."
Noise 2 arrived the following year at 200 pages. With special finishes and wrapped in flock wallpaper, the emphasis was on generating desire among an in-the-know design crowd. Attik got select bookstores to sell it, and used it as a calling card - an arty book with real leave-behind value. The team also took it out to New York.
Attik opened an office in the city, marking the occasion in 1997 with Noise 3. The imagery continued to reflect gleeful creativity and experimentation, and the team showcased more special finishes, shipping the book in a case made by British Steel. "The late 1990s in the US was a great time for British designers. There was this wave of new Britain, new Labour, cool Britannia, and it felt like it was hip to have a British design firm working on your business," says Sommerville.
Despite the physicality of Noise 3 - quality paper, glorious finishes and metal packaging - the new work was coming from broadcasters. MTV, ABC, NBC, HBO, Syfy and ESPN became clients. This was partly due to the way Attik embraced new versions of Photoshop. The aesthetic really excited TV companies, who wanted to replicate the look on screen.
"We were in a meeting at MTV," says Sommerville. "We'd gone over to present Noise and our print work, and there was a guy who said, 'Is this a frame from a moving sequence?' My partner at the time - Will, the new business guy - just said 'Yeah.' So the guy at MTV said 'Great, get your producer to ring me. We've got an on-air project we want you to do.' So we left that meeting thinking, 'Wow.' But had no idea what a producer was."
Besides motion graphics projects, Noise 3 got them through the door with creative teams at big agencies. They worked with Ogilvy & Mather, JWT and McCann- Erickson, on accounts like Heineken, L'Oral, MasterCard and American Express. These weren't Attik clients, but they worked the Madison Avenue scene, making contacts and expanding all the time.
The next stage of their invasion took them to Australia. There was a huge buzz about the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In 1999 Needham headed out there to open a studio. Naturally, he'd need a new Noise under his arm, but there was no time to produce a fully-fledged edition. Almost like a software company they came up with Noise 3.5, a publication with fewer images, but produced in a larger format. Things in Sydney went well and the office grew to over 30 staff.
Three years passed after the release of Noise 3, and although Noise 3.5 had taken Attik down under, the agency was too busy to produce a Noise 4. The tale took a new twist when Harper Collins came calling. The publishing giant wanted a book of 500 pages. Special finishes, varied paper stocks, extra colours and innovative packaging gave way to four-colour printing in Asia. Harper Collins would print 20,000 copies - at least three times more than previous editions - and distribute it worldwide.
That sweet cherry was hard to resist, but Attik's relationship with the book turned sour. It wasn't just the stifling of creativity; the world was changing. "The day we got our copies was 10 September 2001. We were excited and said, 'Let's have a few beers.' The next morning our idea was to have a board meeting and talk about how we were going to really leverage on the back of it," says Sommerville. "But obviously the day after it just felt like it didn't matter what you sent anybody, nobody would be interested."
The book was actually a success, and attracted clients in Japan, India, Russia and Latin America. But they still associate it with the bad times after 9/11. The Sydney and London studios closed in 2001, with many clients reconsidering their advertising strategies. Attik had to consolidate, and it would've been foolhardy to try and top Noise 3 and 4, so they didn't even try. In 2007, Attik joined Dentsu, a Japanese advertising group.
Back to form in 2008, it was time to exorcise the ghosts of Noise 4 and embark on Noise 5. Released last year, it includes a retrospective of previous editions, client work, a company history, and great dollops of new and exciting artwork. It wasn't just a renunciation of the previous book, but also a backlash against the unreality of digital. Inside are nine paper stocks, over 40 print finishes and a classy dust jacket.
"In terms of self-promotion it's doing its job because people have responded really well to it," says Sommerville. "They'll call us and say 'Hey, you know this stock or this print production technique you've used on this page, or the way you've done that? We'd like to talk to you about maybe bringing some of that through.' They can use it for a print and design reference book, if you like."
Re-energised, Needham and Sommerville already have great new plans for Noise. They've been working with an art agent, printing imagery in a 40-inch square format that will be sold in limited, boxed editions to collectors. Yet even as it breathes the ozone in the lofty realm of fine art, Noise hasn't lost its original promotional dimension.
"People who are in the comfortable financial position of being able to afford that level of art, are generally connected in some way to a business of some nature, or businesses. So what we're actually doing is connecting with owners, or very wealthy individuals, or parts of groups of businesses, who have a decision-making role within their business. If they are interested in our style of work on an artistic level, then maybe they'll be interested in talking to us on a commercial level too," Sommerville concludes.

Once a person has had a diagnosis of breast cancer or any type of cancer, there is a chance of it returning after treatment, called a recurrence. Having breast cancer also increases a person’s chances of developing certain other types of cancer, which is referred to as second cancer. The fear and anxiety of cancer returning are one of the most persistent and distracting aspects that people who have had cancer have to face.
For many people, the fear and anxiety are more pronounced during certain times, like anniversaries of the day you were diagnosed, the days before a check-up or scan, or when a new symptom occurs in the body (which may or may not be related to breast cancer or any other cancer). It can be helpful to recognize these feelings and know that they are normal and understandable.
Get support by talking with a friend, a support group, a counselor, or even writing about it in your journal. Shining light on your fear can help keep it from being overwhelming and finding others who understand and also cope with the same fear can provide you with camaraderie and helpful suggestions on how they handle it.
Keep up with recommended follow-up appointments with your doctor. These follow-up appointments may be every few months just after treatment is completed, and with time, the follow-up appointments may become less frequent. Talk with your doctor about your recommended appointment schedule, as well as what signs or symptoms to bring to their attention.

You are currently browsing the Bookmobile News weblog archives for September, 2010.
Healdsburg’s own Merriam Vineyards surprised us with very good news indeed: the Free Bookmobile will benefit from their upcoming Books and Bordeaux “back-to-school book swap for grown-ups”. We think it’s a fabulous idea, and apparently, so does local culinary artist Michelle Anna Jordan, who will be in attendance. Other authors are being recruited for signings and an afternoon of “good reds and good reads”. You even get delicate bites which have been paired with the vineyards current releases for your $10 tasting fee.
After all the swapping is done, we get the extra books to take on our travels around the county. Another great partnership! Take a look at the Merriam website for more information about the event, which takes place Saturday, September 18.
Though we won’t be giving away books there, we will be hosting a colorful information booth to help raise awareness of our mission. We will also have a couple of terrific silent auction items up for bid: a delicious dinner for four cooked in your home, with poetry recital during dessert, compliments of The Gourmet Poet, and a scenic three-hour sailing trip for four on a 33′ sloop in Bodega Bay by Bodega Bay Sailing Adventures.
Thanks to the efforts of Free Bookmobile supporter Dena Bliss, we now have that long-awaited drop-off site for west county residents! Dena talked to the nice folks at Sonoma Bank and they agreed that collecting books for us was a great idea. We installed a box last week and are up and running! Not only has Dena contributed substantially to the project but this kind of participation by the community really inspires us to reach for that next milestone.

Do you know the Cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
HINT: There's more than one (but they're all related).
Your doctor is unlikely know what caused your RA, s/he will probably blame it on genetics, or explain it like you have a 'disease'. They certainly don't know how to get rid of the arthritis rheumatoid.
You don't have a disease, you have a set of predictable responses to various inflammatory agents that are ongoingly put into your body (primarily in the form of the foods you eat).
Unless you have the rare doctor that knows what's what, your doctor will tell you what you'll find online; that RA is a disease, that there is no cure, that the cause is poorly understood, that genetics play a role.
There may be some semantics at play here, but RA is not a disease.
AIDS is a disease. The Bubonic Plague is a disease. Small pox is a disease.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is not a disease, just like Tendonitis is not a disease.
Rheumatoid Arthritis is the equivalent of drinking a little bit of gasoline every day. You're body can't operate very well like that. Drinking a little bit of gasoline everyday would obviously throw the body into a 'diseased' state, but nobody would (well, doctors would) say that you have Gasoline Disease.
A person with some common sense would say "STOP DRINKING GASOLINE!"
Same thing with RA. Stop taking in what the body is reacting to, and fix any side effects that have been caused, like damage to the gut lining, and RA symptoms reduce and/or go away.
As a general observation of the hospital medical community, doctors believe that there is no cure for RA.
It is important to note that they also believe that there is no cure for diabetes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, crohn's disease, and a host of other 'medical conditions' that are in fact curable and reversible.
So doctor's track record is pretty bad. Just because they don't know HOW to cure Rheumatoid Arthritis does not equal that there IS no cure for arthritis rheumatoid type.
Again, stop drinking gasoline and the predictable result of drinking gasoline can result.
Doctors and the internet will tell you that the causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis are pooly understood (meaning, they don't know what causes RA).
If you really ask your doctor, and continue asking after their first brief response or two, you'll quickly end up at a blank stare.
Mainstream western medicine just doesn't know what causes Rheumatoid Arthritis. It's not in their education, it's not in their paradigm, it's not in the business model.
But it's not a mystery in other circles of expertise. So it's not that the causes are poorly understood, it's just that mainstream medicine and the popular websites that reflect mainstream medicine (like WebMD and MedicineNet) just don't know the well known cause. Plus, it's bad for business and the pharmaceutical industry to have a (relatively) simple 'cure'.
Many of both sources will also say that genetics play a role, and that 'bad genes' cause RA (while in the same breath saying that there is no direct connection between any gene and RA.
As in every aspect of life, genetics DO play a role in health and arthritis rheumatoid. But the way genes actually work (in all cases other than obvious genetic anomaly/genetic disease which is it's own category) is that genes only express in the right environment.
And RA is clearly caused by particular environmental factors.
The good news is that there's actually a ton of research out there that clearly points to Rheumatoid Arthritis causes.
First, make sure that you understand the answer to the question What Is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
To understand what RA -is-, you need to know WHY RA comes into existence.
Once upon a time you were perfectly healthy. Now you're not. What happened to get you here?
That's obviously a wide ranging inquiry, so we'll just stick with Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms and the overall cause.
You eat gluten, factory farmed meats full of hormones and antibiotics and chemicals, factory farmed processed and pasteurized dairy, processed vegetable oils and cooking oils, modern day corn.
All of #2 are inflammatory foods, particularly the gluten and processed oils.
This constant intake of inflammation causing foods and contaminants irritates the gut lining.
Along with an overall inflammatory response by the body including inflammed and irritated digestive tract, you develop Leaky Gut, the technical term for that is Increased Intestinal Impermeability.
The body's inflammatory response increases, and Leaky Gut allows proteins from the foods you eat to slip through the wall of the digestive tract into the blood stream and other tissue.
To go after those proteins that aren't supposed to be there, the body kicks in an auto-immune response and 'attacks your body'.
The most common place to experience Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms are in the joints, but you can also have rheumatic response in your skin and in your organs (for example, lungs and/or liver).
You continue to take in inflammatory foods, the Leaky Gut gets worse, your body continues to 'attack'. You continue to suffer.
That's the mechanism of the cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis. You drink gasoline, gasoline harms your body function.
Take note that Rheumatoid Arthritis causes not only joint pain and eventually joint deformation, but can also cause organ damage.
Joint Pain and damage is bad enough, you DO NOT want organ impairment and organ damage.
Inflammatory foods is the primary cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Osteoarthritis and Osteoarthritis Symptoms can be caused by the Tendonitis dynamic, but Rheumatoid Arthritis is NOT caused by Tendonitis...though it can help create or irritate Tendonitis.
Some people are told by their doctors and other sources that the cause of the RA is 'genes'.
For instace, medical researchers claim a relationship between the HLA-B27 gene marker and RA, and tell people with this marker that they are at higher risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis because they 'have' that gene marker.
But as explained in the conversation linked below, genes in general don't doom people to illnesses (short of congenital genetic abnormalities and conditions). It's the ENVIRONMENT a person is in that causes genes to express or not.
So stop blaming your RA on your genes and start blaming it on your harmful dietary/lifestyle habits that are causing Leaky Gut and resulting autoimmune response.
So, you want to get rid of your Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms?
Then you have to stop drinking the gasoline.
And you have to heal your Leaky gut.
The first part is easy. It's changes in diet and food intake. This is 100% good for you on all levels. It may be psychologically challenging, but really it's just a change of habit.
Did You Know That You're Addicted To Bread?
If the thought of cutting out ALL breads and pasta for the next 2 months (minimum) has you respond with "I could NEVER do that!", then you're literally addicted to gluten.
And I do mean, LITERALLY. When gluten breaks down it creates a morphine-like byproduct. So you have the opportunity to stop your daily drug habit -and- have a healthy body again!
Healing the Leaky Gut is a little more tricky. It takes some time as you have to clear the inflammation from your body (basically) and the body MUST get the nutrition it needs so the digestive tract lining can heal.
But cutting out the gasoline is the first priority. Nothing has a chance of getting better if you don't do that.
In other words, if you don't eliminate the cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis, there is no hope of reversing the 'disease'.
Pain is an intriguing factor in the human existence. People can get so used to being in pain that there is a pschological struggle to 'let go' of it (meaning, doing the work it takes to live pain free again).
I can't help you with any pschological battles, but ironically enough, the malnutrition that comes from the Leaky Gut reduces your ability to cope, literally. And I can definitely help you with the required nutrition and Leaky Gut.

A multi photon microscope is a Fluorescence Microscope in which more than one Excitation Photons are used to excite the fluorophores.
Mind that the multi-photon option in a License String doesn't activate a new Microscope Type: the number of photons involved in the fluorescence process is a Microscopic Parameter that you have to enter when describing the image. There are 'widefield' and 'confocal' multi photon microscopes; the multi photon option gives access to both.
For 2-photon microscopes, the Multi photon excitation parameter must be set to two.
If there is a non-descanned detector (NDD), or a very large (say > 10 Airy Disks) pinhole, the contribution of the pinhole to the image formation can be ignored. In this case the microscope type can be set to Wide Field Microscope. This will result in more realistic values for the Nyquist rate than a confocal setting.
If there is a pinhole in the order of a couple of Airy Disks, typically 500 nm Back Projected radius, it must be taken into account. So in this case the microscope type type should be set to confocal, and the correct Back Projected Pinhole Radius specified.

Approximately one in five New Yorkers lives in poverty and nearly half the city’s households are considered near poor. Employment data and the city’s food banks tell us that the number of working poor continues to rise. We focus on policies to help families maximize income and access public benefits and services, including raising minimum wage and job quality issues, expanding tax credits, and access to affordable child care and other work supports. We are also examining the racial disparity in wealth and strategies to temper hardship caused by fluctuations in earnings and expenses.
This brief provides an update to the report that Parrott and Reich issued in July 2018, "An Earnings Standard for New York City’s App-based Drivers: Economic Analysis and Policy Assessment,” and informs the final pay standard as incorporated in the Driver Income and Transparency Rules, adopted by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) on December 4, 2018. The new pay standard takes effect February 1, 2019.
CNYCA partners with the Workforce Field Building Hub, an initiative of the NYC-based Workforce Professionals Training Institute (WPTI) on the Monitoring the Minimum Wage issue brief series. The briefs are intended to track the implementation of the $15 minimum wage in New York City by engaging businesses, workers and workforce practitioners, and by assessing the impacts in other jurisdictions around the country.
Monitoring the Minimum Wage: Brief 3 on lessons from other cities is available here.
Previous issues in the series are available here.
New data for 2016, released by the U.S. Census Bureau last week, shows continued healthy gains in median family incomes and significant drops in poverty, especially childhood poverty, in New York City.
The Census Bureau found that real median family income in New York City rose 5.2 percent in 2016, and is up 9.5 percent since 2013. Real median family income in the city had fallen by 5.2 percent from 2008 to 2013, during and after the Great Recession. The 2016 median family income level of $65,440 was 3.8 percent greater than the 2008 level (expressed in 2016 dollars).
Most affluent New Yorkers don’t think twice before ponying up $2.75 to ride the subway or bus. But for the working poor, it’s another story.
It is well known that women in the U.S. are paid, on average, 77 cents for every dollar that a man earns. We discuss: what is the nature of the pay gap and why does it exist; who is affected the most; and what policy initiatives can be taken to close the gap?
Many social service programs aim to get young people ready for work. Not enough hire them. As important as education and training are, they often fall by the wayside for young people living in poverty, lost in the unending immediate need for funds to survive and support a family. Without a job to provide those funds, inevitably, many young people turn to a shadow economy – and that often leads to a criminal record. Once that spiral has begun, opportunities for legitimate employment become few and far between. Opportunities for meaningful employment are almost nil.
A professor of economic policy analysis at The New School, Dr. Teresa Ghilarducci is a nationally recognized expert on retirement policy. She recently talked with Urban Matters about the proposal by her and others to close retirement savings shortfalls by creating guaranteed retirement accounts.
Wealth – the value of what you and your family own minus what you owe – matters. A lot. Wealth is, in short, the paramount indicator of future economic success.
The rationale for the higher minimum wage is clear: Since the end of the Great Recession, the majority of job growth in New York, a notoriously high cost-of-living environment, has been in low-wage employment. While organized labor and its allies have pushed the "Fight for $15" in response, others have voiced concerns that such raises may result in job losses or stymie entrepreneurship. Is a dramatic raise in the minimum wage the best way to help low-income workers in New York?
A conversation with Manuel Pastor that explore questions such as: what are the national demographic shifts and their impact on our country and the economy? What is the “uncommon common ground”? How can policies be used to advance an inclusive agenda that works for all?
How can we keep children in city-subsidized shelters safe? How can we use the time they spend in shelter to foster rather than derail their development? How can we support parents who are leaving shelters that may be the only homes their children have known?
The War on Drugs has created a powerful surveillance state in America's most disadvantaged neighborhoods. High-tech techniques criminalize entire blocks and transform informal community networks into liabilities for local residents as police use family relationships to demand information, pursue suspects and threaten incarceration. The presumption of criminality takes a relentless toll.

A FDIC study finds that seven of every 20 New York households is underbanked. New York and other cities and states are experimenting with solutions, including low- or no-fee community banking services and financial literacy campaigns. What works? And what should government, nonprofits, and the banking sector do now?
Some critics blame the Community Reinvestment Act for the mortgage meltdown that prompted the current deep recession. Others point to the abuses of subprime lending and Wall Street manipulation. Yet questions about the impact of the economic collapse on African American communities—and about the future of neighborhood stability, consumer access to credit, and the role of race in public policy—remain unanswered. As the federal government acts to reverse the economy's decline, what have we learned, and what does the future hold?

The libertarian model asserts that heavy state intervention in the economy is a threat to human liberty. But the recent history of market-based democracies has shown almost the reverse. The supposedly small-state model of the United States has instead opened the door to massive inequalities of income, wealth, and power. The state has not taken over business; alas, business has taken over the state. Considering the recent experiences of the United States, Scandinavia, and other market-based economies, how should we re-conceptualize the balance of state, market, and democracy?

The New York Times on Thursday printed a special section featuring portraits of nearly every member of the record number of female lawmakers in Congress.
A viral Twitter thread from the Times’ design editor, Josh Crutchmer, includes a video of the covers the night before publication that has been viewed over 320,000 times as of Thursday morning.
The photos, which were taken on Capitol Hill over five days by Times photographers Elizabeth D. Herman and Celeste Sloman, are meant as “a testament to what power looks like in 2019,” according to the paper.
“Like the work of Kehinde Wiley, who painted Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaChina, Russia, Iran rise in Latin America as US retreats Castro wants to follow Obama's lead on balancing presidency with fatherhood Trump's regulatory rollback boosts odds of a financial crisis MORE’s official presidential portrait, these photographs evoke the imagery we are used to seeing in the halls of power, but place people not previously seen as powerful starkly in the frames,” the feature reads.

In Fantastic After 40, Pam Farrel describes the domino effect of allowing emotions to control our lives ~ soon our emotions run rampant!
Question: How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
In the last post, we discussed some of the reasons for moodiness, and saw that there were many various causes ~ some physical, some emotional or mental, and some spiritual.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a moody person is “subject to depression, gloomy; subject to moods, temperamental; or expressive of a mood.” That’s a pretty wide spectrum. Some people don’t like their own moodiness, and others with physical problems struggle with moods; but some say, “That’s just the way I am,” leaving others to deal with them. And heaven help us when we deal with teenagers’ fluctuating moods!
So, how do you respond biblically to a person who is moody?
(1) Give them lots of love and grace. Many times when a person is moody, they are not likely “themselves,” so don’t take what they say too seriously when moodiness makes them lash out. Keep your distance for a while, if the moodiness includes anger. Offer consolation, but not in the heat of the moment. Give the person time to calm down a bit, and then, with compassion, try to get them to open up. Listen, and don’t offer advice at this point unless asked. Be tender and selfless. Do not judge them. Think of many of the “one another” scriptures ~ so many of them will help you respond correctly.
I (Dawn) can’t believe that mood rings are back in vogue. My granddaughter wears one!
This 1970s fad came out around the same time as the Pet Rock. Invented by New Yorker Joshua Reynolds when he was 33, Reynolds was a wiz at marketing. (He went on to invent the ThighMaster!) According to a 70s-info site, a mood ring contains a heat-sensitive liquid crystal encased in quartz. as the body temperature of the owner changes, the crystals change colors … said to correspond to the wearer’s mood at the time.
Golden Yellow means the wearer is tense, has difficulty focusing, and is easily bothered.
We joke about the Mood Ring, but “moodiness” is no joke! Some people have a greater tendency toward moodiness, and it’s not just a women’s problem ~ the result of crazy hormones. Some women do indeed get moody before their “time of the month.” But although hormones might contribute to moodiness in some people, much moodiness has nothing to do with hormones at all.

Whenever you take out a loan, your credit score is affected. If you pay your loan when the payments are due, on time each month, it will have a positive impact on your credit score. However, just one late payment can have a negative effect on your credit score. Credit scores can both make or break whether your loan is approved and determine what interest rate you end up paying. If you have a higher credit score, you will be able to get loans with a low interest rate. Yet, if you have a lower credit score, it almost always means you are going to pay a higher interest rate. The difference between a few interest points may not seem like a big deal, but over the length of the loan, it can add up to loads of money.
One way you can build your credit with the credit reporting bureaus and lenders is to make sure you have a good mix of revolving credit that include installment loans, such as a car or mortgage loan, and credit cards. A home loan can help you give your credit score a boost, but not everyone is in a position to own a home at this time. Qualifying for a car loan is easier, and, as an installment loan, it can give your credit score a nice boost.
Just as making payments on time helps you build good credit, making late payments has the opposite effect and leads to poor or bad credit. A single late payment can have a negative effect on your credit score, and it can make it more difficult to get a loan in the future. If you believe you are going to be making a payment late, it is best to call your lender, tell them what is happening, and ask them for an extension. Working together with your lender, you can come up with a solution that will have the least negative effect on your credit score.
Keep in mind that when you make consistent and steady payments, it shows lenders that you are a lower risk when you borrow money. And that when it comes to handling big debt down the road, you will be reliable, like when you get a mortgage. Getting a car loan can be an excellent building block to building strong credit.

A new report prepared by Russian Space Forces (VKO) scientists, who are charged with monitoring radio and other electrical type transmitted emissions from the United States under provisions outlined in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), states that at the “exact time” of the 20 July 2012 Colorado massacre known as the 2012 Aurora Shooting a “mysterious blast” of 10.80 Hz was broadcast from a GWEN tower in Pueblo, Colorado 178 kilometers (111 miles) away from Aurora.
The GWEN tower network (Ground Wave Emergency Network) was a command and control communications system intended for use by the United States government to facilitate military communications before, during and after a nuclear war. Specifically, GWEN was constructed to survive the effects of a high-altitude nuclear explosion electromagnetic pulse to insure that the United States President or his survivors can give a launching order to strategic nuclear bombers.
This dictator won’t stop until he has total control of everything! Combined with certain other actions it’s impossible to deny Dear Leader’s intentions.

The archive is one of the largest college archives in Oxford. The records date from the 12th century up to modern times.
Although the catalogues are not yet on-line, there is an electronic catalogue which we hope will be available in the near future. Please feel free to ring or e-mail to ask any questions about the content of the archive. The archive does not hold any diocesan records. These may be consulted at the Oxfordshire History Centre. Records relating to living people are subject to the terms of the Data Protection Act. There is also a section which deals with the history of the archive, and it is hoped to set up a similar one relating to the history and administration of the library.
Early material on Cardinal College, including the accounts of Robert Amadas, royal goldsmith, and the 1525 endowment of property.
Originally a sub-section of Governing Body papers, this series comprises records dealing with new buildings, and maintenance and repairs. The archive also holds a number of architectural drawings from the C18 to the present day.
Papers relating to and by individual members of Christ Church.
The collection of papers relating to the Phillimore family of judges and lawyers has been transferred from the library to the archive, and will undergo detailed listing as soon as possible.
Please note that permission to consult and/or publish anything from the papers of Hugh Trevor-Roper must be obtained in advance from Professor Blair Worden, Lord Dacre's literary executor. A brief listing of the papers is available on the Dacre trust website.
Permission to publish material from the Driberg collection must be sought from Ms Georgia Glover, David Higham Associates, 5-8 Lower John Street, London, W1F 9HA.
The large collection of papers relating to Lord Portal and the 2nd World War are retained by the Library.
Minute books, accounts, correspondence, etc. relating to the administration of the Senior Common Room. NB. This section includes a considerable amount of material by Charles Dodgson from his period as Curator of Common Room but material relating to Dodgson as Lewis Carroll, author of Alice's adventures in Wonderland, are held by the Library.
Albums and loose photographs belonging to college clubs and societies, and topographical images. The Boat Club is particularly well-represented, and we hold matriculation photographs from 1947.
As part of its endowment, Christ Church was given the lordship of around 20 manors in England. Many of these have been sold with the landed estate over the years although a few remain in Christ Church's possession. The records held in the archive are, on the whole, post-medieval.
The Treasury papers form approximately half of the archive, and was the section initially catalogued by Dr Geoffrey Bill in the 1950s. As a consequence, it contains items which would not necessarily be considered Treasury (estates bursary) papers today. Principally the section deals with the financial administration of the college and cathedral, and particularly with its landed estate. As such it contains terriers and surveys, rent books, conveyances and leases, etc. However, it also includes material like the collections books, which record the termly reading of undergraduates from c.1700 to the late C19; the correspondence of George Chinnery, an undergraduate in the first decade of the C19; the building accounts of Tom Tower and Peckwater Quad, etc.
The Steward's Office (domestic bursary) was created in 1867 and took over from the Treasury the administration of accommodation, catering, conferences, etc. Its records include those of special dinners, student room allocations, and domestic staff.
The Censors are the academic administrators of the collegiate part of Christ Church. Many of its records are subject to the Data Protection Act and, as such, are not available for consultation. The section contains some material relating to the appointment of senior staff, and all the files relating to undergraduate and graduate members from c.1867. Until the 1930s, these files are often extremely thin. Rarely do our records hold any information on wives, mothers, or children, and often very little on post-Christ Church careers.
A relatively new department, the Development and Alumni Relations Office exists to keep in touch with members once they have left Christ Church, and to raise funds for the college and cathedral. Like the records of the Censors' Office, much remains subject to the Data Protection Act. Most of the material in the archive from this office relates to surveys of old members and fundraising literature.

Small chemical changes in the DNA building blocks, which may be influenceable by lifestyle factors, can reduce the amount of IGFBP2. A DIfE / DZD research team has now reported in the journal Diabetes that these epigenetic changes increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Moreover, people with high blood levels of the binding protein IGFBP2 are less likely to develop this metabolic disorder. The changes in the blood are already detectable a few years prior to the onset of the disease.
According to the German Diabetes Health Report 2018, more than 5.7 million people in Germany suffer from type 2 diabetes. The affected individuals react inadequately to the hormone insulin, which leads to elevated blood glucose levels. This in turn can lead to strokes, heart attacks, retinal damage, kidney damage and nerve disorders. Since the metabolic disease develops gradually, initial damage has usually already occurred at the time of diagnosis. "In the future, our findings may help to identify risk potentials for type 2 diabetes even earlier and help to counteract the disease with preventive measures," said Professor Annette Schürmann, head of the Department of Experimental Diabetology at the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and speaker of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD).
Human studies show that people suffering from fatty liver produce and release less IGFBP2. Schürmann's team observed similar effects in earlier mouse experiments, which showed that IGFBP2 levels were already reduced prior to the liver disease. This is due to the transfer of methyl groups at certain sites of the IGFBP2 DNA sequence, which inhibited the gene in the liver. These so-called epigenetic changes are caused, among other things, by lifestyle factors. Such modifications of the DNA in the IGFBP2 gene were also previously detected in blood cells of overweight people with impaired glucose tolerance.
Recent analyses by the researchers indicate that inhibition of the IGFBP2 gene promotes type 2 diabetes. In addition, the team of scientists observed that leaner study participants and study participants with lower liver fat levels had higher concentrations of the protective binding protein in the blood. Higher plasma concentrations of IGFBP2 were associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes in subsequent years. "Our study confirms the hypothesis that the IGF-1 signaling pathway also plays an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes in humans," added Dr. Clemens Wittenbecher, research associate in the Department of Molecular Epidemiology at DIfE and first author of the study.
