Dear Colleague Letter for New Zealand and Japan – Rapid Response Grants – NSF 11-045
Dear Colleagues:
The February 21, 2011, earthquake in New Zealand and the March 11, 2011, earthquake in Japan and subsequent tsunami and nuclear power plant crises have shown us Nature's enormous destructive capacity, once again. This letter is to remind you that NSF has mechanisms in place to respond to immediate research and education needs that arise from such unexpected events.
For example, such mechanisms were used to support activities compelled by the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile in 2010, the Chinese Wenchun earthquake in 2008, and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005.
The Rapid Response Research (RAPID) mechanism is used to support activities having a severe urgency with regard to availability of, or access to, data, facilities or specialized equipment, including quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar unanticipated events.
Another mechanism is for a Principal Investigator (PI) to request supplemental funds to add an international dimension to an existing NSF grant. Supported activities are not limited to on-site research, and could include research conducted remotely via the use of information and communication technologies, temporarily hosting databases on behalf of affected institutions, and providing temporary laboratory space for researchers and students from affected institutions.
Individual NSF directorates and offices may provide specific guidance. General guidelines for RAPID and supplement requests are described in the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (NSF 11-001) at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf11001/gpg_2.jsp#IID1 and http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf11001/aag_1.jsp#IE4, respectively. PI(s) must contact the NSF program officer(s) whose program is most germane to the proposal topic before submitting a RAPID proposal or supplement request. PI(s) are also encouraged to contact the appropriate country contact in the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering (see http://www.nsf.gov/od/oise/country-list.jsp).
Submitted proposals should address access to expertise, facilities, and resources at the New Zealand or Japanese sites. Whenever feasible or applicable, the proposal should demonstrate true collaboration with host country counterparts.
Given the scale of physical damage, areas in New Zealand and Japan may not be accessible to foreign investigators in the near term. Proposals should include detailed research plans that incorporate specific details about country entry, if required, and logistics for data collection.
Grantees are responsible for obtaining required visas for foreign travel and research permits and clearances. Awardees are expected to adhere to U.S. State Department guidance regarding travel and stay in New Zealand and Japan:
- U.S. Department of State, Travel Information for New Zealand (http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_984.html)
- U.S. Department of State, Travel Alert for Japan (http://www.travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1148.html)
For RAPID proposals, the budget should include travel costs for one trip to the Arlington, Virginia area to present results of the RAPID research at a workshop open to the public. The workshop is anticipated to be held within a year.
The number of projects supported by NSF will depend on the quality of the proposals received and the availability of funds. While not a deadline, for timely consideration, submission of RAPID proposals electronically via the NSF FastLane system or Grants.gov and supplement requests electronically via the NSF FastLane system by Friday, April 15, 2011, is encouraged.
NSF looks forward to continuing to work with the research community on responses to these devastating events.

Provost's Lecture Series: Screening and Discussion – "Reteaching Gender & Sexuality"
March 29, 2011 from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm
Charles B. Wang Center Theater
The Provost Lecture Series is pleased to present a screening and panel discussion by the group PUT THIS ON THE (MAP_ entitled "Reteaching Gender & Sexuality."
In 2008-2009, a group in Seattle's eastside suburbs came together to create the PUT THIS ON THE (MAP) pilot documentary. The project combined participatory action research strategies with youth leadership and community development. The result was the completion of a 34-minute documentary film in 2010.
In November 2010, they launched Reteaching Gender and Sexuality – a national education campaign. Now, they are on the road screening the documentary and talking with students and professionals at universities and various youth-serving sectors about issues impacting queer youth. They will also be collecting new media for their next documentary on similar themes.
This event will include a screening of the group's pilot documentary, an award-winning 34-minute film. The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Megan Kennedy and youth activist Kyle Rapiñan.
Provost Lecture Series: Tsunami ! One of Nature's Most Destructive and Fearsome Events – Could it happen to us?
Wednesday, March 30 - 12:50 pm to 2:00 pm
Javits Center, Room 110
Malcolm Bowman is Professor of Physical Oceanography and Distinguished Service Professor at Stony Brook's School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. He is the Founding Director of the Stony Brook Storm Surge Research Group, a Distinguished Member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, President of the Stony Brook Environmental Conservancy and a Director of the Environmental Defence Society (NZ). He currently serves on Mayor Michael Bloomberg's New York Panel on Climate Change which advises the Mayor, the City Council and city agencies on mitigation and adaptation measures for the protection of the City against the anticipated threats of climate change.
Abstract: The tsunami (translation "harbor wave") following the March 11, 2011, magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the northeastern coast Japan, has led to widespread destruction, loss of life, exposure to nuclear fallout and untold human misery. This presentation will discuss the causes, properties and propagation of tsunami across the world's oceans, and why are they so fearsome. Do future tsunami created by earthquakes in the Atlantic Ocean basin pose serious risks to the eastern seaboard of North America? If so, are there adequate warning systems in place comparable to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu? If not, why not? Co-sponsored by The Japan Center and the School of Marine & Atmospheric Sciences.

NOT-OD-11-057: Change in Timetable for Opportunity to Shorten the Review Cycle for New Investigator R01 Applications Reviewed in Study Sections Convened by the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Issued by
Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Center for Scientific Review (CSR)
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
As part of the National Institutes of Health continuing commitment to New Investigators (http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/index.htm). NIH has allowed New Investigators the option of submitting resubmission (A1) applications for consecutive review cycles (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-083.html). This provides quicker feedback on the initial peer review and potentially minimizes delays in the progression to funding. Approximately 12% of the eligible New Investigators have used the option of next cycle submission since 2006.
Subsequent to the establishment of this option NIH implemented a limitation of a single resubmission for all applications (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-09-003.html). To give New Investigators who wish to use the consecutive review cycle option more time to prepare their resubmission (A1) application, NIH is changing the schedule for release of summary statements for the initial R01 (A0) applications and the due date for the next cycle resubmission. The new schedule will begin for initial R01 (A0) applications submitted for the June 5, 2011 due date and reviewed in the fall 2011 Study Section meetings. The recurring Study Sections for the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will meet on a schedule to allow consecutive cycle resubmissions.
- Study Sections participating will schedule meetings so that New Investigators receive a summary statement no later than March 10, July 10, or November 10.
- The summary statements for qualifying applications will have an explicit note indicating eligibility for next cycle submission.
- Resubmission applications for consideration at the next cycle must be successfully submitted by April 10, August 10, or December 10.
- New Investigators who do not choose the next cycle option will use the standard resubmission dates for subsequent cycle submission (March 5, July 5, or November 5).
Due dates for New R01 (A0) applications: February 5, June 5 and October 5. Corresponding due dates for Next Round Resubmission (A1): August 10, December 10, and April 10.
Study Sections in the CSR AIDS and AIDS Related Research (AARR) Integrated Review Group already conduct reviews and produce summary statements on a schedule that allows consecutive cycle submission for New Investigator R01 applications.
Note that R01 applications submitted by New Investigators in response to RFAs and PARs with special due dates are not eligible for this option. The next cycle resubmission option only applies to R01 applications submitted by New Investigators for the standard due dates (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm).
New Investigators are encouraged to consult with officials at their institution and the NIH Program Director assigned to their application (identified on the summary statement) in making the decision on whether to utilize this option.

John Milnor Wins Abel Prize for Mathematics
John Milnor, Professor of Mathematics and Co-director of the Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Stony Brook, has won the Abel Prize for Mathematics, which includes an award of 6 million kroner ($1 million).
The award committee made the announcement on Wednesday, March 23, stating that Milnor's "profound ideas and fundamental discoveries have largely shaped the mathematical landscape of the second half of the 20th century." They also cited his "pioneering discoveries in topology, geometry, and algebra."
The annual Abel Prize was created by the Norwegian government in 2003 and is awarded to candidates who have contributed to the mathematical sciences. An international committee of five mathematicians select the winner. The prize will be handed out at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, on Tuesday, May 24.
In January 2011 Milnor was awarded the American Mathematical Society's (AMS) prestigious Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement, which is among the world's most prestigious honors given for outstanding contributions to mathematics. He had previously won two other Steele Prizes from the AMS, for Mathematical Exposition (2004) and for Seminal Contribution to Research (1982).
Milnor spent his undergraduate and graduate student years at Princeton, studying knot theory under the supervision of Ralph Fox. He received an A.B. and a Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton. After many years at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study, with shorter stays at UCLA and MIT, he settled at Stony Brook. He has studied game theory, differential geometry, algebraic topology, differential topology, quadratic forms, and algebraic K-theory.
For the past 25 years, Milnor's main focus has been on dynamical systems and particularly on low dimensional holomorphic dynamical systems. Among his current projects is the preparation of a book to be called Dynamics, Introductory Lectures. Five volumes of his older collected papers have been published by the AMS.
A member of the National Academy of Sciences, he has also won the Fields Medal—the International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics awarded to mathematicians under the age of 40 by the International Congress of the International Mathematical Union—and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, Israel's highest honor in mathematics.
SBU Pharmacology Researchers Uncover New Role for Mitochondria
Reported in Developmental Cell, the Findings May Provide Clues to Male Infertility
Michael Frohman, M.D., Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Pharmacological Sciences at Stony Brook University School of Medicine, and colleagues, have discovered a new role for mitochondria during ribonucleic acid (RNA) processing. This latest finding, reported in Developmental Cell, may hold clues to some causes of male infertility.
Long-recognized by scientists as the powerhouse of the cell involved in the role of energy production, mitochondria help regulate numerous cell biological processes. These processes involve communication between the mitochondria and the rest of the cell via signaling pathways on the mitochondrial surface that mediate interactions with cytoplasmic proteins. Some of the pathways involve lipids.
The research team studied a specific aspect of this mitochondria activity – the machinery that generates and senses protein and lipid signals. They focused their investigation of activities that occur on and around the mitochondrial surface.
"Our experimentation uncovered a new role for mitochondria in a specialized form of RNA-processing that appears to take place at the interface between the mitochondrial surface and adjacent granules of RNA and RNA-associated proteins," says Dr. Frohman, summarizing the research results. "More specifically, we linked a signaling enzyme on the mitochondrial surface, called MitoPLD, to the production of piRNAs, which are produced from RNA copies early in spermatogenesis during meiosis."
Dr. Frohman explained that the significance of the finding is that piRNAs are known for suppressing cellular transcription (copying of RNA) and thus mobilization of genetic elements known as transposons, which make up almost half of the human genome. Many types of piRNAs also target non-transposon genes. But without piRNAs, transposons replicate, leading to widespread DNA damage and subsequent death of differentiating sperm cells.
Furthering the research, the team genetically engineered mice to lack the gene MitoPLD. They found the mice to be normal, except that the males were infertile. No effect has been seen on female fertility.
"The long-term potential significance of our laboratory findings is the possibility that some cases of male infertility may be caused by inherited mutations in MitoPLD, the signaling enzyme, especially since at least one inactivating mutation is found in the database of sequenced human DNA," says Dr. Frohman. "Conversely, pharmacological inhibitors of MitoPLD could have potential utility as male contraceptives."
In their study, titled "piRNA-Associated Germline Nuage Formation and Spermatogenesis Require MitoPLD Profusogenic Mitochondrial-Surface Lipid Signaling," the authors point out that despite their findings, the piRNA generation pathway is complex and the mechanism underlying MitoPLD effects on mitochondrial morphology and fusion are unknown. However, they believe the biological significance of their work has pharmacological potential.
"Because inhibitors have been developed for other members of the same enzyme family, MitoPLD is likely a feasible target," theorizes Dr. Frohman.
Dr. Frohman's co-authors include: Huiyan Huang, Qun Gao, Xiaoxue Peng, and Krishna Sarma, of the Center for Developmental Genetics, Department of Pharmacological Sciences, Stony Brook University; Hongmei Ren and Andrew J. Morris, of the Gill Heart Institute, University of Kentucky, Lexington; and Seok-Yong Choi, of Stony Brook University and the Chonnam National University Medical School in Korea.

Stony Brook Leads National Clinical Trial to Determine Whether Treating Periodontitis Improves Diabetes Control
The Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine is leading a multicenter national clinical trial to evaluate whether treatment of chronic periodontitis will help improve diabetes control. Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Diabetes and Periodontal Therapy Trial (DPTT) monitors blood sugar levels of those with Type 2 diabetes after periodontal therapy. The trial is the first of its kind in the United States.
"We hope the results of this clinical trial will support the research that clearly shows an association between chronic periodontitis and Type 2 diabetes and evidence that treating periodontal infection and inflammation can improve glycemic control," says Steven Engebretson, D.M.D., M.S., M.S., Principal Investigator for the trial and Assistant Professor of Periodontics and Implantology at the SBU School of Dental Medicine.
In 2008, Dr. Engebretson and colleagues within the School of Dental Medicine and School of Medicine received a $12.5 million five-year grant from the NIH to develop the format and research plan for a multicenter trial investigating the effectiveness of periodontal therapy in improving blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes – now named the DPTT.
In 2011, a supplemental NIH grant for the DPTT to Stony Brook will provide an additional $1.4 million for the trial, bringing the total award to $13.9 million. This two-year grant supplement will be used to further develop a clinical site for ongoing recruitment of study participants through May 2012.
The periodontal treatment involves an in-depth cleaning called scaling and root planing (SRP). SRP is a careful cleaning of the tooth root surfaces to remove plaque from pockets and remove bacteria and toxins from tooth root. Dr. Engebretson points out that research has consistently shown that SRP reduces the amount of bacteria associated with periodontal disease. Due to this finding, SRP is usually the first mode of treatment recommended for most patients. Some people do not require any further active treatment after SRP.
The entire trial will span 30 months and include four clinical sites. Stony Brook is the coordinating clinical center, and the other clinical sites are the University of Alabama in Birmingham, the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, and the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. The NIH's National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research sponsors the trial.
The shared goal of the four clinical centers is to recruit a total of 600 adults who also have untreated moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. Subjects will be recruited from the diabetes clinics, dental clinics and communities near each center.
Dr. Engebretson believes that in the long-run the study results have the potential to provide a scientific basis for an improvement in the standard of care for patients with diabetes, thus addressing one of the Public Health Service's Healthy People 2010 goals. The trial is also carrying out a mandate from the 2000 Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health, which identified the relationship between improvement in periodontal health and glycemic control as an area in need of further investigation.

Provost Lecture Series: The Earthquake in Japan – What Happened, and Why?
Over the next few weeks the Provost's Lecture Series will host 3 lectures dedicated to the devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis in Japan. The first of this three-part series will be held on Wednesday, March 23, at 12:50 p.m. in the Javits Center, Room 110,with a talk by Dan Davis, a member of our faculty in Stony Brook's Department of Geosciences. Dan is a former faculty Director of Stony Brook's Honors College and co-author of "Turn Left at Orion", a well-known guide to amateur astronomers.
Dan Davis is a geophysicist who specializes in tectonics. His research focuses on the mechanics of convergent plate boundaries,both the continent-continent collisions that create great mountain belts and subduction boundaries like Japan. His other areas of research include the application of geophysics to studies of the recent geological history of Long Island and to nuclear arms control.Japan is located at a very active plate boundary, and its tectonic setting places it at high risk for powerful earthquakes, including the type most likely to produce tsunamis.
In his talk entitled "The Earthquake in Japan – What Happened, and Why?" Professor Davis will explore why and how this devastating earthquake and tsunami occurred,and what modern geology and seismology can tell us about the future seismic hazards on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. We are pleased to host this three-part lecture series, co-sponsored by the Japan Center at Stony Brook.
Stony Brook Department Declared A Landmark
Forty years ago, during his second bite into a hamburger, Paul Lauterbur experienced a "Eureka" moment: He figured out the scientific basis of what was to become the MRI.
On Friday, the American Chemical Society honored Lauterbur posthumously by designating Stony Brook University's chemistry department a historic landmark.
It's the department where he taught for more than 20 years and refined his pioneering work on magnetic resonance imaging.
Stony Brook officials and Nancy Jackson, president of the chemical society, were on hand for the presentation of a plaque marking Lauterbur's accomplishment.
He was wooed away from the school in 1985 by the University of Illinois and won the Nobel Prize for medicine in 2003 for his groundbreaking ideas that produced truly useful images. Lauterbur died four years later at the age of 78.
"He developed the mathematical theory for magnetic resonance imaging and how we can detect information from the human body," said Debiao Li, vice president of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
Lauterbur's widow, Joan Dawson, an emeritus professor at the University of Illinois' Urbana-Champaign campus, said her husband's discovery came suddenly, while dining at a Long Island Big Boy restaurant with a colleague.
He jotted down his thoughts on a napkin but quickly ran out of space.
"Paul ran out to a drugstore and bought a spiral notebook, and wrote down his ideas," Dawson recalled.
In 2003, Lauterbur told Newsday on the day he won the Nobel Prize, "I knew [MRI] would be a useful tool from the very first ideas, but not how useful."
His development of MRI grew out of work involving nuclear resonance imaging.
MRI allows physicians to peer into the body without invasive surgery. It has proved useful for scanning the brain and other organs, as well as the spinal cord and joints. The images are comparable to those generated by three-dimensional CT scans but are produced without potentially harmful ionizing radiation.
MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to take pictures of the body. Dawson said she's touched that Lauterbur is still remembered at Stony Brook.
"My husband has been awarded many honors over the years," she said. "But this would be very special to him. And he would be proud to know this department still remembers him."

IRB Initiatives of SUNY REACH Clinical and Translational Research (CTR)
The Clinical and Translational Research group of SUNY REACH (Research Excellence in ACademic Health) is enhancing the foundation and tools for multi-campus research collaborations. REACH Members include Stony Brook, Downstate, the Graduate Center for Vision Research at the SUNY College of Optometry (Manhattan), Upstate Medical University (Syracuse) and the University at Buffalo.
Multi-site projects will be coordinated by a Lead site (to be determined by the PIs); other sites joining the project/trial will be designated Participating sites. It is expected that much of the documentation will flow through the Lead to the Sponsor, creating a single point of access to clinical research units across New York State.
REACH IRB Working Group and Facilitated Review
REACH requires a cross-institutional approach to IRB review of REACH studies. The REACH CTR IRB Working Group is composed of members who oversee human research protection programs from each campus. Judy Matuk, M.S., Assistant Vice President for Research Compliance, and Erin Infanzon, Clinical Research Assistant and Regulatory Coordinator for Pediatric Infectious Diseases, represent Stony Brook on the REACH IRB Working Group.
This group has initiated a facilitated IRB review program for REACH. This program features the option for Participating sites to administratively review the results of the Lead Insititution's IRB review. Participating Institutions' IRBs may then opt to accept the Lead's findings, or to withdraw from the facilitated process and conduct their own review.
Participating IRBs will also use the Lead Institution's approved consent form, and the Working Group has specified the elements that Participating sites should change in conformance with local policies and requirements, and which elements must remain identical to the Lead's approved language.
Electronic Management
SUNY REACH Members are also adopting electronic IRB management. While Stony Brook has been using IRBNet since 2007, the other four sites had no such tool when REACH CTR began. The advantages of this system include its facilitation of data and document management, tracking, and dissemination – - at the multicampus level as well as within a single site. Moreover, an electronic system at the project's Lead IRB will allow all other project investigators and their IRBs to have secure access, regardless of their geographical locations or SUNY affiliations. Investigators as well as IRB staff will be able to upload documents and download approvals and other review materials on-line, expediting the paperwork for multi-campus projects. To date, three of the sites have signed on with IRBNet; Upstate will be going live on March 9. The fourth site is completing its system selection.
For more information about SUNY REACH CTR, please contact Ann M. Gardner, REACH CTR Program Manager (firstname.lastname@example.com). For more Information about Stony Brook's Human Research Protection Program, contact Judy Matuk (firstname.lastname@example.com).

The Department of Energy Resources (DOER) recently announced a new first-come-first-serve round of funding to help insulate these homes or install modern heating systems. New...Read More

Here are two shrimp marinades that I think are delicious. The first one I used for years in my catering business to marinate cooked (chilled) shrimp, which I then wrapped individually in the blanched halves of snow peas. (Blanch fresh snow peas in boiling water for about 30 seconds - they puff up a bit - then shock them in a bowl of ice and water. Trim off the ends, and split the snow peas lengthwise along their seams, and discard the little peas inside. Wrap each half snow pea around a shrimp, and secure with a toothpick.) This is a painstaking process but the result is a very pretty hors d'oeuvre - we used to pass them on silver trays. We discovered that, if the shrimp are left in the marinade for more than an hour or so, they become too soft on the outside, and they will discolor from the soy sauce. In hearing my story about this, our listener, Hubert, in Diamond Bar wrote to share his shrimp marinade recipe which will NOT discolor the shrimp, because it does not contain soy sauce. Also it has a zesty spiciness that many folks may particularly enjoy - so I include both recipes, below.
1 cup, olive oil
1/3 cup, white wine vinegar
1/4 cup, soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons, dry mustard
2 tablespoons, grated fresh ginger root
1 clove, garlic – minced
zest of 2 large oranges (the colored part of the peel, finely grated)
a pinch of sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Blend together all ingredients. See introductory note for serving suggestions.
6 cloves, garlic – smashed with the side of chef's knife
3 small hot red Thai peppers – ends trimmed, seeds removed and thinly sliced.
1/4 cup, rice wine vinegar or sake
1 1/2 teaspoons, toasted sesame oil
Blend together all ingredients. Marinate chilled (cooked) shrimp, or marinate raw shrimp and grill on the barbeque. Serve on skewers or toothpicks.

Not many people have the privilege to buy a vehicle when the one they have gets old. Upholstery care assigns great importance to the proper upkeep of your vehicle. To get your vehicle looking as new as those in showrooms, is a tiring task for many. Most car care products fail to give a new look, or at least one that lasts for some reasonable time.
Wipe New car surface restorer
The Wipe New car restorer works with the aid of nano-polymer technology that is specifically designed to restore and protect the color and luster of faded and weathered surfaces. The Wipe New car solution was created to restore the worn out appearance of the car's bumpers, leather seats, headlights, vinyl interiors and accessories. Wipe New car solution can be easily applied on, and penetrates the surface of, leather, vinyl, plastic and other materials. Since Wipe New car restorer is capable of restoring the showroom appearance of finished surfaces with a single application, it is ideal for car detailing.
Requisites for applying Wipe New solution
It is quite natural that the luster and color fades after hours, and upto even years of travel. In addition, the sad thing is that despite all efforts to wash and clean up the car, you cannot bring back the new look. Conventional car care products are only good enough to restore the surfaces for a short period. Wipe New car solution is now an affordable way to give your car the chance to look brand new. All you need is to wipe the solution evenly, over the surface to be restored. Make sure that the surfaces to be restored with the Wipe New car restorer are thoroughly cleaned, and free from dust and dirt. Wipe New car solution fails to stick on if the surfaces are filled with oil and grime.
Wipe New car solution penetrates deep in to the surfaces with the aid of nano-polymer technology. Even though Wipe New car restorer product is commonly designed for use on vehicles, it works just as well on new automobiles as well. Since the Wipe New car surface restorer solution penetrates deep, it is an ideal way to retain a car shine for years. Wipe New can be used to restore the worn out surfaces, including the bumpers, rims, seats and headlights.
Wipe New car restorer is a perfect car cleaning solution for the interior leather components, and restores the color and luster of the dashboards, steering wheels seats and damaged wheels.

The Australian native stingless bee or Sugarbag bee (Trigona carbonaria) carries pollen mixed with nectar so that it sticks to the hind legs in "pollen pouches". The pollen is not suitable for fertilising flowers and only pollen grains accidently carried elsewhere on the body can result in pollination. The same is true for the introduced European honeybee (Apis mellifera)

Oil prices continue to rise, reaching a record high of $93.53 a barrel on Oct. 29, with fears of a Turkish invasion of Iraq and a weak dollar cited for the increase. Last month, OPEC worried about the cost of oil at $80 and agreed to raise production by 500,000 bpd starting Nov. 1, and apparently had already begun doing so, but as oil rises above $90 a barrel, OPEC says supply is adequate for the demand in the market and they will not increase production further.
World oil supply increased by 415,000 bpd in September to 85.1 million bpd. Demand forecasts by IEA remain virtually unchanged at 85.9 million bpd in 2007 and 88.0 million bpd in 2008. Increased Iraqi output helped lift OPEC crude supply by 245,000 bpd in September to 30.7 million bpd, and production through year end should be bolstered by increased OPEC supply, receding hurricane risks and the end of seasonal maintenance.
