Grant a wish. Take an hour or two each week to do exactly what your child desires without interruptions or distractions -- even if she wants to play a game you hate or build block towers and then knock them all down.

Look the other way. Once a week, ignore one of your child’s small transgressions -- bad table manners, forgetting to clean up right away -- and remind yourself that you’re not perfect either.

Be romantic. Go out on dates, kiss in front of your kids, and say, “I love you” to your partner (with your kids in earshot).

CCNSB has many exciting things going. The goal of CCNSB is to constantly provide quality care to our community.

Satoris Awarded Michael J. Fox Foundation Grant to Develop "Biological Fingerprint" for Parkinson's Disease

Satoris Awarded Michael J. Fox Foundation Grant to Develop "Biological Fingerprint" for Parkinson's Disease

Research study will use Satoris proprietary antibody technology to measure over 500 distinct plasma proteins and attempt to identify a cellular signal for Parkinson's disease in blood

Menlo Park, Calif. (PRWEB) November 3, 2009

Satoris, Inc., a California-based molecular diagnostics company, announced today that it has received a grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation to study plasma protein panels from patients with Parkinson's disease and attempt to identify a cellular signature for the disease.

The study is being performed in collaboration with Dr. Bernard Ravina, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. Specifically, the study will compare the relative amounts of 500 plasma proteins from 25 Parkinson's disease patients with those from 25 healthy individuals. If differences are seen, further studies would be required to develop and validate the "fingerprint" as an indicator of Parkinson's disease.

Cris McReynolds, President and CEO of Satoris, said, "Currently, the best methods available for diagnosing Parkinson's disease involve multiple neurological tests of motor and cognitive skills and may include expensive neurological imaging scans. A simple blood test would provide physicians with a more reliable, cost-effective, and objective diagnostic tool. The first step in developing such a blood test is to identify the unique 'biological fingerprint' of the disease. A blood test would improve patient management for Parkinson's disease and could assist in the monitoring of new therapies."

Satoris researchers first reported the potential utility of using plasma proteins to measure neurodegenerative changes in the November 2007 edition of the peer-reviewed scientific journal, Nature Medicine. In the reported study, researchers compared blood samples from individuals with pre-symptomatic to late-stage Alzheimer's disease with those from individuals without the disease.

Using a technique known as signal profiling, they were able to simultaneously measure the relative abundance of 120 known plasma proteins that function as chemical messengers between blood cells, brain cells, and cells of the immune system. Levels of these markers change in response to disease and can be used as surrogate markers for measuring changes in disease progression and response to therapies. Based on this discovery, Satoris has recently commercialized test panels intended for research into Alzheimer's disease and dementia and is working to develop and validate an Alzheimer's diagnostic blood test.

"Satoris plans to apply this same approach to Parkinson's disease. We will use proprietary antibody arrays to measure over 500 distinct plasma proteins and attempt to identify a cellular signal for the disease," said McReynolds. "If we're successful, the next step will be further studies using larger numbers of samples. Ultimately we hope to develop and commercialize a diagnostic blood test."

About Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects nearly 5 million individuals worldwide. While advancing age remains the greatest risk factor, the disease can even strike people under the age of 30. Parkinson's disease often impairs the patient's motor skills, speech, and other functions. At present, there is no cure for the disease though medications or surgery can provide relief from the symptoms.

About Satoris
Founded in 2003 and based in Menlo Park, California, Satoris, Inc. is a molecular diagnostics company focused on developing blood-based tests for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, MS, and other neurodegenerative disorders. For more information see http://www. satorisinc. com (http://www. satorisinc. com).

Google Calendar - a Perfect Tool for Sharing Biorhythms and Horoscopes

Google Calendar - a Perfect Tool for Sharing Biorhythms and Horoscopes

The recent release of Google Calendar complements Compatti. com philosophy. Providing tools like personal biorhythms, horoscopes, compatibility analysis and even a fertility calendar to share with members of your Social Circle(SM) on Google Calendar.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 24, 2006

The recent release of Google's web calendar immediately sparked numerous discussions on the web. However, the main advantage of the Google™ Calendar is not only "it's fast, slick, and stable", but the way it operates. Allowing users to create several calendars and share them with friends, partners, co-workers or the whole world if need be, is what makes Google™ Calendar beat their competitors: Yahoo and Microsoft.

We, at Compatti. com, are very excited to see the first web calendar which complements our philosophy - providing tools like personal biorhythms, horoscopes, compatibility analysis and even a fertility calendar to share with members of users' Social CircleSM or Google™ Calendar. More over, since Compatti® Horoscope and Biorhythm ToGo™ were developed for download using standards like iCal or vCal to Outlook™ or PDA it allowed us seamlessly import Biorhythm and Horoscope files to Google™ Calendar.

Most biorhythm calculators today use only the date of birth. Moreover, they do not convert the results to the local time of the individual. Consequently, the margin of error in calculating high, low and critical days could be up to two days. Compatti® Biorhythm ToGo™ uses not only day but also time and place of birth which calculates your personal biorhythm within a minute of accuracy. Also, taking into consideration your current location, it automatically converts biorhythm to your local time. When imported to Google™ Calendar, biorhythm provides users with accurate reminders of critical days and can display relevant events and products offered by Google™ for user's location, like maps or local search.

All events in Google™ Calendar by default are private. However, users can share some events, like biorhythm, with their friends or colleagues. Sharing biorhythm events could help a football team excel when physical cycle of their key players isn't critical, or avoid making important business decisions when one's intellectual cycle is low or keep emotions under control when they are running high.

Compatti. com also pioneered the new way to deliver personal horoscope to electronic calendars. Unlike newspaper generic horoscopes, Compatti® Horoscope ToGo™ offers up-to-the-minute accurate planetary aspects between celestial bodies like sun, moon or planets, with individual birth chart. Precisely calculated planetary aspects are converted to user's local time and can be displayed as events in Google™ Calendar. It also shows moon phases and indicates periods when mundane and personal moon is void of course.

The fertility calendar is another feature offered to couples who are planning to start a family. The accurately calculated biorhythm with fertility calendar, along with lunar phases, can greatly improve chances to naturally conceive a healthy baby. Having up-to-the-minute accurate biorhythms with fertility cycles for both partners in Google™ Calendar, Microsoft® Outlook™ or PDA, would not only simplify family planning but even help to predict the sex of a baby.

Compatti. com provides a simple way to download personalized Biorhythm, Horoscope or Fertility cycles to the Google™ Calendar and then you can share them with your friends and partners.

(PRWEB) May 6, 2005

The audio program “Get Started Now – 12 Success Killers in Real Estate Investing and How to Avoid Them”, discusses why uneducated and uninformed investors become paralyzed by challenges that face them and how to overcome them. You will learn conventional and unconventional ways to make money in real estate, how to buy, sell, and tenant property, as well as building and managing teams of experts that do the work so that you don’t have to, plus much more.

It is estimated that 95% of people who want to become investors never purchase property above and beyond their own home. Why? Fear! You can break that down and say “I don’t have the money, the time, or the knowledge”, but ultimately it is fear that holds people back.

But what happens if they donÂ’t jump in and give it a try? The answer may surprise you. It is notable to mention that based on statistics from the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, at the age of retirement 54% of 65 year olds are financially dependant, 36% are still working, and 5% are dead. So 95% of potential retirees are either dead or dead broke! Only a measly 1% are wealthy. But guess what; 74% of the wealthy retirees in this country hold their wealth in business ownership and real estate investing.

Tanner REI Solutions, LLC is a company that was established to assist those who are facing a fear of getting into investing. They are offering the free audio for a limited time. Copies are available by calling 1(877)323-4181 or on their website www. treisolutions. com. You may also submit an email to freeaudio@treisolutions. com to request this free audio program. Interested individuals may also request to receive a free telephone consultation and action plan report. LetÂ’s get out of the 95% club and join the 1% who are wealthy.
