The official name of this gene is "phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha."
PIK3CA is the gene's official symbol. The PIK3CA gene is also known by other names, listed below.
The PIK3CA gene provides instructions for making the p110 alpha (p110α) protein, which is one piece (subunit) of an enzyme called phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). The p110α protein is called the catalytic subunit because it performs the action of PI3K, while the other subunit (produced by a different gene) regulates the enzyme's activity.
Like other kinases, PI3K adds a cluster of oxygen and phosphorus atoms (a phosphate group) to other proteins through a process called phosphorylation. PI3K phosphorylates certain signaling molecules, which triggers a series of additional reactions that transmit chemical signals within cells. PI3K signaling is important for many cell activities, including cell growth and division (proliferation), movement (migration) of cells, production of new proteins, transport of materials within cells, and cell survival. Studies suggest that PI3K signaling may be involved in the regulation of several hormones and may play a role in the maturation of fat cells (adipocytes).
At least 15 mutations in the PIK3CA gene have been found to cause a condition known as megalencephaly-capillary malformation syndrome (MCAP), which is characterized by overgrowth of the brain (megalencephaly) and abnormalities caused by enlargement of small blood vessels in the skin (capillary malformations). Most PIK3CA gene mutations involved in MCAP change single protein building blocks (amino acids) in the p110α protein. The mutations involved in MCAP are not inherited from a parent; they arise randomly in one cell during the early stages of development before birth. As cells continue to divide, some cells will have the mutation and other cells will not. This mixture of cells with and without a genetic mutation is known as mosaicism.
The PIK3CA gene mutations involved in MCAP lead to production of an altered p110α subunit that makes PI3K abnormally active. The altered kinase triggers unregulated chemical signaling in cells, which allows cells to continuously grow and divide. Increased cell proliferation in the brain and other tissues and organs leads to the overgrowth characteristic of MCAP.
Despite involvement of the PIK3CA gene mutations in cancer (described below) and the overgrowth of cells caused by changes in this gene, individuals with MCAP do not appear to have an elevated risk of developing cancer.
Mutations in the PIK3CA gene are involved in many types of cancer, including cancer of the ovary, breast, lung, brain, and stomach. These mutations are also involved in cancer of the colon (large intestine) and rectum, which are collectively referred to as colorectal cancer. The PIK3CA gene mutations involved in cancer are somatic, which means they are acquired during a person's lifetime and are present only in the tumor cells. These mutations change single amino acids in the p110α protein. Two common mutations occur in the same region and change the amino acid glutamate at position 542 or at position 545 of the p110α protein to the amino acid lysine (written as Glu542Lys and Glu545Lys, respectively). Two other common mutations occur in another region, changing the amino acid histidine at position 1047 of p110α to the amino acid arginine or leucine (written as His1047Arg and His1047Leu, respectively).
Cancer-associated PIK3CA gene mutations result in production of an altered p110α subunit that allows PI3K to signal without regulation. The increased signaling leads to abnormal proliferation of cells, resulting in the development of cancer.
Mutations in the PIK3CA gene, including those associated with cancer, have been found to cause several other conditions related to overgrowth of tissues. These conditions include hemimegalencephaly; fibroadipose hyperplasia; and a condition called congenital lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal nevi, and skeletal or spinal abnormalities (CLOVES) syndrome. Hemimegalencephaly is characterized by enlargement of one side of the brain and can cause seizures and intellectual disability. Fibroadipose hyperplasia causes overgrowth of fibrous and fatty (adipose) tissues in various regions of the body, which leads to enlargement of different portions of the body, such as the lower body, an individual arm or leg, or one or more fingers or toes. CLOVES syndrome has multiple features, including an overgrowth of adipose tissue in the abdomen that is often associated with a reddish birthmark on the skin over it, in addition to blood vessel, skin, and bone abnormalities. It is unknown if individuals with these disorders have an elevated risk of developing cancer.
As in MCAP (described above), the genetic changes involved in these disorders occur early in development and are found in only some of the body's cells. This mosaicism helps explain why different conditions can be caused by the same gene mutations.
Cytogenetic Location: 3q26.3
Molecular Location on chromosome 3: base pairs 179,148,114 to 179,240,084
The PIK3CA gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 3 at position 26.3.
More precisely, the PIK3CA gene is located from base pair 179,148,114 to base pair 179,240,084 on chromosome 3.

Oh that must be horrible
I would definitely wait until you have follow up appt and ask the dr when you can begin to exercise again, and in what capacity. Once you know what is okay for your body, then you can come up with a plan. maybe start with short walks, building up your endurance. When that gets easy start changing your pace, slow, fast, med, fast, slow all throughout your walks. I suggest home dvds or the fitness channel if you have it. lots of different kinds of exercise and you can see what works for you, ie dance, yoga, cardio etc. good luck and let us know when your Dr. clears you for work out =)

This blog has moved to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/appfabric please update your links!
This week had a few videos and a new article go up to MSDN this week:
The TechEd Online videos were recorded at the TechEd 2008 Developer Conference [North America] in June. The first two videos were interviews done by Ron in the TechEd fish bowl, and the third was done by Rob Bagby.
The deck and demo come from a talk this week done by Kirk Evans. This week, at the Microsoft TechReady conference, Kirk did a chalk-talk discussing patterns that typically come up within WF scenarios. The scenarios were well received, attendees of the chalk talk scored it well, and I thought it was a great idea for a chalk talk. And, everyone thought it was a grand idea for Kirk to post it up on his blog and share it with the world. :)
Additional Web Items of Note The Windows SDK team posted a couple surveys, and they're looking for customer input on SDK improvements/changes - and how it interfaces with Visual Studio.
The two surveys that they're looking for input on are:
To close on a down note, we missed getting the third installment in Michele's WF Deployment Scenarios series - Workflow Services - posted up this week. It's done and edited, but Friday afternoon isn't the best time to try and move an article through the MSDN publication process. Look for it to show up on the site early next week.

When you work with me, my goal is to help move the people that move the products, paraphrasing a motto that was once said by the legendary Arnie Miller (the founder of Matrix). To make a brand successful and durable, it is my strong belief that branding must get more personal, all the more so in a digitally enhanced and increasingly transparent world. My goal is to help brands – and, more emphatically, the internal teams – to transform and adopt the right mindset, which will garner greater long-term loyalty and, ultimately, a healthier profitability. Leveraging my experience of working at L'Oréal S.A. in 9 assignments in 4 countries over a 16-year timeframe, I know that transformation is a complex process to engineer. I combine strategic vision with an operational know-how. My pragmatic approach is based on three defining principles:
- Work within the business. Whenever possible, I bring my mindset and tools within the regular flow of work (business meetings, seminars or conferences).
- Learn by doing. One of my favorite sayings is that Change is for sure, growth is the option. Getting the desired change to happen individually and within organizations means starting by doing. My signature leitmotif is to find ways to measure the success of the programs I run.
- Heighten engagement within the business. If brands are to get more personal, it is because the customer is looking for a more engaging experience. Enabling employees — especially those on the front line — to excel and express themselves is a key business driver.
There are three ways that we can potentially work together
I am a high energy professional speaker who can deliver speeches in English, French or Spanish. Having worked extensively in over 20 countries and visited around 80 and with a working knowledge of 6 languages, I have developed a keen understanding of the cultural differences, allowing for more effective and adapted presentations. I speak on three main topics: marketing in the modern era, all things digital (including new technology trends) and inspiration / motivation. You can find more about my speeches here. I am also a regular Master of Ceremonies (emcee) at major conferences around the world. Book me here.
Working with a select network of consultants, we provide consultancy for companies on how to drive your brand and activate your strategy. Based on a highly operational background, we accompany brands in the execution, because we believe that execution is, more than ever, strategic and where the battle is won or lost. Book me here.
Thanks to a rich background in pedagogy, I continue to train and coach because I believe that training is an opportunity for true transformation. Specifically, I provide Digital Education for executive teams, including one-on-one coaching for the C-suite. I also conceive and deliver innovative and customizable seminar trainings on several key digital business levers: eCommerce, eReputation Management, Influencer Engagement and Social Media Marketing. You can find more here.

Cindy Elder began her day at the farm last Monday shoveling snow for seemed like the hundredth time, helping dig out a car that slid off the road behind the farmhouse and hauling water to animals that couldn't be delivered through frozen pipes, all before sitting down in her office surrounded by barn cats let in out of the cold.
Such is life in winter as new executive director of Coggeshall Farm Museum.
"When you come to the farm, you're going to get your hands dirty," Ms. Elder said. "You really do get to jump in with both feet here. I've learned to go from the boardroom to the farm."
The challenges of running a working farm and living museum are compounded in the winter, particularly one as challenging as this one has been. There are acres of paths to be shoveled — then shoveled again … and shoveled again as the relentless winter dumps snow over Bristol seemingly every other day — in order to maintain access throughout the 48-acre facility off Poppasquash Road. There are animals to be fed and watered, decisions to be made about whether it's warm enough to let the chickens out of the coop or the ox out of the barn, and tours to be conducted as the general public comes to visit the living museum. And even when the pipes freeze, the animals still need to drink.
"We've hauled a lot of water this winter," Ms. Elder said. "We have a small but very talented staff, and with the unbelievable winter we've had, everyone has had to pitch in. Even the board members have been like staff members, even walking the donkey."
Ms. Elder picked a fine time to leave the boardroom of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, where she served as communications director until leaving to take the helm of Coggeshall at the end of December, just in time for one of the worst winters in recent memory to kick into high gear. But it's nothing new to the Bristol native who has associated herself with the farm since the early 1970s when she first rode on the Coggeshall Farm float in the 4th of July Parade. She has spent most of her life around museums, growing up the daughter of Barbara Hail, former curator – and current curator emerita – of the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology.
"I'm what you'd call a museum baby," Ms. Elder said. "Since I was little, I've been a museum prop. This is a challenge I couldn't resist. I've had a love for this place since I was a little kid."
Ms. Elder is planning for the future of Coggeshall Farm. She plans to expand the programming at the farm to incorporate more activities for adults and older teens, in addition to the children already drawn to the animals and living history. She hopes new programs like 18th-century cooking over an open-fire hearth and a RI Historical Society speaker series — focusing on the significant historical impact of the farm, the role of women and children on the farm in the 18th and 19th centuries, etc. — will draw an older crowd.
"If we look at the history of wealthy people, it is very well documented. But this is the history of the middle class," Ms. Elder said. "People here in the 18th century were the typical working families. The story of the Rhode Island middle class has strong historical roots. We should be proud we have this agrarian history. This is a great place to honor Rhode Island's past and relate it to today."
Ms. Elder also plans to expand the educational offerings for schools around the state. Education Coordinator Travis Crocker is developing new lesson plans, focusing on common core principles to match the "experiential education" at the farm with what students are learning in class.
"We understand schools can't send kids here just for a fun day," Ms. Elder said. "We want to reestablish Coggeshall as an educational facility for school children. They can begin to see history not as some static picture in a book, but connect kids to history in a way that reminds them these were real people."
She also wants to reconnect the farm to the community, in Bristol and beyond. She is focusing on increasing attendance at the farm's main events — the Wool and Fiber Fest on May 16, and the Harvest Fair Sept. 12-13 — but also at the smaller, regular events and daily visits. The farm will be applying for statewide grants and trying to appeal to residents for support and connecting with Explore Bristol and the local business community.
"The farm is healthy — we have a small budget, but we live within our means," Ms. Elder said. "In order for us to grow, we need more support. We're counting on the people of the East Bay but won't rely on them solely. We're trying to really beef up the festivals, which is not only good for Coggeshall, but it's good for Bristol."
It's all in an attempt to draw more people to the town and the museum to experience Bristol's past while supporting the town's and thew farm's future.
"Treasures like this don't stick around forever if someone doesn't take care of them," Ms. Elder said. "I want to know this is going to be here in 30, 50, 100 years."
Coggeshall Farm is open to visitors Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., year-round. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children and seniors. Kids under 3 are free. The living museum gives visitors a look at what farm life was like in the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition to the many animals and historic exhibits, the grounds contain picnic spaces and a museum store, in addition to periodic special events. For more information, visit the museum's website at www.coggeshallfarm.org.

Solid flavors of cocoa nibs throughout; gained more intensity at the end of the last third, but then it started burning really hot. 88 points [93 points for the construction, 86 points for the flavor]0 0
Bought it few months ago and smoked one after leave it in my winedor for about 2 months. Draw is tight, almost non-smokeable. Even after half point, draw still tight and did not produce much smoke. Wait for another 2 months and thought to give it another chance. Same that s why I give the consistency a 100 - tight draw, not much smoke. I throw it away right before the half point. I will wait for anther month and give it a final try.0 0

Life Update and Some FeaturesJournal Entry: Tue Jul 24, 2007, 4:44 PM
After a long and tiring 22 hour drive over two days, I finally made it. I'm in Washington. There are still a lot of things that I need to do before I actually feel settled, but I'm slowly getting them done. Other than that pesky little problem of finding work, things are great. In a day or two I'm going to visit some temp agencies to see what they can help me with. Right now, any sort of income would be wonderful.

BMW 135i Problems
One vehicles equipped with power folding mirrors, the mirror may fold out past the standard position. Our technicians tell us that if this occurs a special procedure must be followed to relearn the correct mirror home position.
A droning type noise may be noted when the air conditioning system is operating. Additionally, a vibration may be felt in the steering wheel. If these issues are no longer present when the AC system is turned off, the problem may be low refrigerant charge in the system. Our technicians remind us that if the refrigerant charge is found to be low, proper leak diagnoses should be performed in addition to recharging the AC system.
BMW 135i Questions
I Recently moved and stuffed the truck and back backseat of my BMW 135i full to capacity and my top wouldn't drop, I figured "oh my trunk is to full it will drop when I empty it" I make the move and emptied everything out of my car and drunk and still the top will not drop. after re...
BMW 135i Recalls
The bolts that secure the housing for the variable camshaft timing adjustment unit can loosen over time and possibly break, causing engine damage and engine stalling. Dealers will replace the four bolts for both intake and exhaust timing units free of charge to resolve the concern.
The vehicle battery is connected to the fuse box via a heavy duty cable. It has been determined that the cable connection at the fuse box can degrade over time, resulting in increased electrical resistance. This increased resistance can cause the connection point to overheat and break, resulting in a loss of electrical power and causing the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the positive battery cable connector and secure it with an improved method to correct this concern.
The seat belt pretensioner explosion that occurs during a collision may ignite the sound insulation around the buckles. Dealers will modify the sound insulation on all vehicles, and relplace the seat belt on some models. This recall began on August 23, 2010.
BMW 135i Reviews
I purchased a used 2008 BMW 135i in September 2012. After two weeks, I started having trouble with the adaptive headlights and the dealer wanted $4000 to replace them. From all the research I have done, it appears a lot of other 135i owners have had similar issues with their headlights. Before I could have the headlights replaced, one of the turbos went out and the water pump stopped working...
The front portion of the car shakes when driving over bumps. Problems with the sway bar have been identified. Otherwise, a very fun car to drive. It is fast, fast, fast. Great on gas and the seats are not bad. The control panel is not user friendly, but the voice recognition makes up for that.

Yesterday I downloaded a CSS Menu Maker from http://css3menu.com
My probleme is that I cannot put the codes onto my iWeb site so that the menu appears correctly.
I have sent an e-mail to css3menu.com support but they did not react so far - I wondering if they will ever do... Anyway they are too slow there to respond...
Could someone tell me what I did wrong?
"Dear Tech Support,
Today I have bought an Unlimited Website Licence of CSS Navigation Builder and I was delighted that in the FAQ someone has asked about how to use it with iWeb (http://css3menu.com/rq/css3-menu-templates-software-with-iweb-site-x.html).
Although I was following the procedure as you have described in that FAQ, there was no success. (Here you can see what I have got: http://aranyoldalak.eu/CSS.html)
Let me describe you step-by-step what I did hoping that it will facilitate "debugging":
1. I have created a menu (I have actually chosen a default one), named it "TEST" and saved it into a folder on my Desktop.
2. I have opened "TEST.html" with the latest version of "Text Wrangler" and copied the code starting with line "<!-- Start css3menu.com HEAD section -->" and ending with line "<!-- End css3menu.com BODY section -->".
3. I have pasted it into a snippet on a page named "CSS" on my website (www.aranyoldalak.eu) and published the site changes onto the server.
4. I have uploaded both "TEST.html" and the folder named "TEST_files", created automatically when I hit "Publish" in CSS3Menu, directly under the root folder on the server ("/public_html" in my case). (As you described on your website, the "TEST_files" folder contains and another folder ("css3menu1"), which in its turn contains the following 3 files: "arrowsub.gif", "mainbk.png" and "style.css".) So ALL these folders and files are uploaded.
I use OS X 10.7.3 and iWeb on a MacBook Pro 13" that I bought last year.

It took a village—neighbors, local vet—to save a goat
- Jun 6, 2014 at 12:17PM
On Sunday, May 25, I went out to feed our horses and noticed one of our goats, "Mary," lying on her side and all four legs flopping violently. Her eyes were rolled back and she appeared to be frothing at the mouth. I called the At Home Vet service out of Fall City, and he was here in 20 minutes. He asked what I wanted him to do, and I said I don't want her to suffer, so euthanize her.

Snoqualmie couple embark on world-wide cycling adventure | Photo Gallery
- Jun 6, 2014 at 1:00PM updated Jun 9, 2014 at 8:47AM
On a sunny March day in Snoqualmie, Doug and Kristin Walsh had no problem daydreaming about going on a long bike ride. That daydream may have gotten a little fuzzy now that they're actually on that ride, fighting Montana winds on a blustery day in April, or cycling through snowdrifts in Minnesota in May, but the couple never seems to struggle with a loss of focus for long. On the surface, their goal is to ride their bicycles basically around the world, to discover amazing cultures, sample exotic foods, and see places they've only read about, in a trip they estimate will take about three years. There's more, though; this trip, started March 23, represents living life in the right order, something the career driven 30-somethings have long aspired to.

ASUS P8P67 Deluxe (Intel P67 Express) Motherboard Review
Real-world testing allows us to see how well a product will perform when used in the same manner as it would be in your house or office. It is an important side to performance testing as it can uncover hidden glitches in the way a product performs.
It is especially true when testing a mainboard; there are so many components of a board that have to interact that any problems between parts can cause a failure of the whole.
For real-world testing we use some common applications and functions. We test with LightWave 3D for rendering performance, AutoGK for transcoding from DVD to AVI and two games for gaming testing.
Rendering of 3D Animation is a system intensive endeavor. You need a good CPU, memory and HDD speed to get good rendering times. For our testing we use LightWave 3D. This software from Newtek is an industry standard and has several pre-loaded scenes for us to use.

AutoGK stands for Auto Gordian Knot; it is a suite of transcoding tools that are compiled into an easy to install and use utility. It allows you to transcode non-protected DVDs and other media to Xvid or Divx format. For our testing purposes we use a non-DRM restricted movie that is roughly 2 hours in length. This is transcoded to a single Xvid AVI at 100% quality.
Interestingly enough the P8P67 Deluxe falls to the back of the P67 boards we have tested so far when it comes to AutoGK transcoding. This could be caused by the slower SATA II performance (the SSD and DVD-ROM combined).

Cough It UpBy Jack C. Chow; Shenglan Tang and Enis Baris
Yanzhong Huang ("The Sick Man of Asia," November/December 2011) paints a troubling picture of a China that has rapidly industrialized yet lags in modernizing its health-care system.
Yet in his cogent history of China's health policy, much of which centers on self-reliance, Huang puzzlingly omits China's success in winning nearly $1 billion in recent years from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. That the country's health officials have had to resort to tapping a fund ostensibly dedicated to helping the world's poorest countries speaks to their inability to persuade the government to pay for public health with its national coªers. Only when the incongruity of a financial giant getting grants at the expense of impoverished African countries was illuminated did China choose to stop taking Global Fund awards.
Ultimate responsibility for transforming China's health conditions lies squarely with the country's national leaders, not just its health officials. Considering the benefits derived from investing in health, the pathway ahead for China should be evident: identify attainable public health goals and standards, bolster resources for health-care work on the frontlines, allow more nongovernmental organizations and private-sector groups to participate, and educate Chinese citizens about better habits, such as smoking cessation. In taking these steps, China would earn a long-term health dividend that would sustain its economy and bring its population to a standard worthy of international recognition and to a level commensurate with what it has accomplished in economic prowess.
Distinguished Service Professor of Global Health, Heinz College, Carnegie Mellon University
Although Yanzhong Huang's overall assessment of the health-care challenges facing China is accurate, the current situation is not as desperate as the reader is led to believe.
Over the last four decades, China has experienced profound and rapid demographic, epidemiologic, and socioeconomic changes that would have tested the strength of any health-care system. But the country's investments in maternal and child health and infectious disease control have sharply reduced maternal and child mortality and the prevalence and deadliness of infectious diseases.
The infant mortality rate in China decreased from 38 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 16 per 1,000 in 2010, and over the same period, the mortality rate for children under five years of age dropped from 48 per 1,000 live births to just 18. The maternal mortality ratio has also fallen, from 110 per 100,000 live births in 1990 to 38 in 2008.
Furthermore, the prevalence of tuberculosis cases in China in 2010 was estimated at 216 per 100,000, a reduction of 45 percent from the rate in 2000 -- thanks to the government's tuberculosis control program. In 2008, China also became the first country in the world to eradicate the parasitic disease filariasis.


text: My ds is turning 3 in July and is perfectly potty trained as far as peeing in the potty, but he doesn't poop in the potty! I have tried rewards, candy (the doctor told me to!), bribing, explaining every little detail about where poop comes out of and that it goes in the potty, etc...but he still poops in his pants! I have him in big boy underwear because he never pees in them, just poops once a day. He has been potty trained with pee for about 2 months now. I have tried to catch him and sit him on the potty, but I swear he is the fastest pooper EVER! He never indicates he is pooping with any facial changes, never grunts, doesn't go to the same corner to do it, or anything like that. (Sometimes he goes into the bathroom to do it and I praise him like crazy, but that is only happened 3 times) I have considered telling him that I will put him back in diapers if he doesn't poop in the potty, but I don't think it will work. Whenever I put a pull-up on him he just pees in them, so I think he would think a diaper is just fine. He hates feeling wet in his pants is what encouraged him to pee in the potty. Also, he hates the poop and it getting on him, but not enough to poop in the potty! I am just completely baffled about what to do to get him to poop in the potty! Any suggestions?

Sleep May Ease Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease: Study
Latest Neurology News
FRIDAY, June 22 (HealthDay News) -- Sleep seems to improve the motor function of people with Parkinson's disease, researchers have found.
This "sleep benefit" occurs for some patients even though they are without their medication while sleeping, the study authors said. However, how sleep helps patients' motor function remains unclear, and not all Parkinson's patients experience this improvement, according to the report, published in the June issue of the Journal of Parkinson's Disease.
"If the subjective experience of sleep benefit is proven to be related to an objective improvement in motor function, this could have considerable clinical benefits," the study's lead investigator Dr. Sebastiaan Overeem, of the department of neurology, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior at Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre in the Netherlands, said in a journal news release.
In conducting the study, the researchers questioned 243 patients with Parkinson's disease about their motor and non-motor symptoms. They also assessed the patients' symptoms of depression, functioning and quality of life.
The investigators found that nearly 47 percent of the patients experienced a sleep benefit, or a clear improvement in their Parkinson's symptoms after a night's sleep.
Daytime naps were also taken by 98 of the 243 patients. Of these "regular nappers," 46 percent did not notice a sleep benefit at all. On the other hand, 20 percent of nappers said they experienced a reduction in their Parkinson's symptoms only after a night of sleeping, and 13 percent reported an improvement only after their nap. Meanwhile, 20 percent of nappers reported an improvement in their symptoms following both their naps and nighttime sleep.
"It is tempting to speculate whether daytime naps might constitute a possible therapeutic application," noted Overeem.
While the study uncovered an association between sleep and Parkinson's symptoms, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
The researchers pointed out that there were no demographic or clinical differences -- such as age at onset of the disease and type of treatment -- between those who experienced the sleep benefit and those who did not. There were also no differences in depression, quality of life, memory, fatigue and sleep quality between these two groups.
The study authors added that their findings are based on patients' perceptions of a sleep benefit, which are subjective. More research is needed to objectively assess changes in symptoms of Parkinson's disease after a period of sleep.
"Further study is important to identify possible determinants and underlying mechanisms of sleep benefit, in order to identify those patients most likely to benefit from sleep," Overeem concluded. "Both our research and previous studies show it's important to renew research on this intriguing subject."

Class 3-E
this wiki
Class 3-E (3年E組 San-nen E-gumi) or simply Class E is the lowest class of Kunugigaoka Junior High School. It is nicknamed the "E-as-in-End Class" and consists of students who either failed to keep their grades up (i.e. Yukiko Kanzaki, Nagisa Shiota) or were punished for breaking school regulations (i.e. Yūma Isogai, Karma Akabane).
Class E was made solely for the purpose of fulfilling Chairman Gakuhō Asano's educational value of his variation of the 20:20:60 worker ant ratio in which 95% percent of his students are working, and the remaining 5% are lazy. Class E serves as the 5% and is used as an example for the 95% to continue striving academically (ignoring the fact that Class E comprises 15% of the total student body). Prior to the events of the story, Class 3-E was under the tutelage of Aguri Yukimura[1] who was killed shortly after the destruction of the moon[2].
It was revealed in Chapter 125 that Class E didn't always exist. The class used to be Chairman Asano's cram school that eventually became Kunugigaoka Junior High School after the death of one of his former students. To fit his new education ideals of creating "strong" students instead of "good" ones, he created what is now Class 3-E.
Location and Appearance
Class E is located on a mountain that is 1 kilometer away from the main building. Its exterior is that of an old rundown wooden school building with several places on the roof and a few windows boarded up. The interior contains a simple classroom with a blackboard, 28 desks, and a small faculty lounge. The building has no air conditioning and the ceiling has several leaks in it as well.
Currently, Class E is the location of a government confidential assassination of their homeroom teacher, Korosensei. Because it is secluded away from the main building, the students and teachers are able to carry out their assassination attempts without the people from the main school knowing or noticing.

Hello to all my fellow parents of young actors! The new school year has begun, thus ending the ease of auditioning without the worry of missing school! But like all things, we parents get better with age!! Let's set out to make the 2013 school year the best for our young actors. Let's collectively focus on being positive, open and proactive. Let us remember that abundance and rejection are two of many facets that we experience in this business, and we should take neither of these things personally. Let us focus on the experiences and skills built by both our young actors AND by us parents. I am manifesting a beautiful acting experience for all actors: New, frustrated, seasoned etc. 2013-2014 IS OUR YEAR!!
I know I am not alone in feeling like the "Business" has changed. That the stakes are higher. That one thoughtless move, and I may have a child that feels objectified by this business. My children began when they were under one year old. I remember times when my oldest would work the majority of a month, on print and commercial campaigns. When catalogues would fly her out of the country to shoot. When work was rainbows and sunshine. Well, fast forward some years, and POW! Reality is staring back at us. As many parents of actors, the balance is more delicate. Keeping up with a high school, middle school AND elementary school schedule is mandatory for our family. Also, each one of my children has found "passions" outside of acting. Basketball, Karate, piano, Debate, speech, ping pong, writing, traveling….The list is endless.
SO WHERE DOES ACTING FIT IN? Great question! Let me start backwards, as a mom sitting in a meeting with a director. My husband and I have been told by directors that it is OBVIOUS when a child is allowed to LIVE AND PLAY, outside of acting. Their passions, hobbies and activities shine thru in their auditions. A child that is allowed to take time to build a crazy mega Lego structure, will inevitably manifest an opportunity to express their ability to focus, concentrate and BUILD on set.
My belief is that by constantly and consistently checking in with our young actors, we can be sensitive to the balance that gives our children the most joy, and vice versa, we will know when something is out of whack. Yes, it is true that sometimes we have to eat in the car or young actors have to finish homework while waiting in the casting lobby. And yes, acting makes the entire family sacrifice in other areas of life, but for any parent of a young actor who enjoys acting, IT IS OBVIOUS:
To the parents of all of the young actors out there…….KUDOS on helping your young one create experiences of a life time <3
I always
How many times have I heard this question! In fact, how many times have I personally ASKED this question!! After years of consistent hits, near hits and misses, I have decided to put my old school research skills to work.
I spoke to casting directors, agency producers, agents and directors and OVERWHELMINGLY their answer was:
Wait…..It's not me? I don't understand!
Well, here is the bottom line, as it was communicated to me:
Once you make it into callbacks, you know one thing:
You were chosen
You were "director's choice", "agency choice" or "director & agency choice"
What does that mean? That means that when the director was sitting in his office (or at home) reviewing the audition tapes, there was something about your performance, your look and/or your aura that made the director choose to see you at the callbacks.
That also means that the agency folks sat down and watched as well.
Next, those two sides compare notes and see which actors land on both lists. Also, actors that landed on just one list are also called in most times.
Fast forward to the callback: There will be a mixture of the three choices present. Inside info: If casting hands you a casting sheet with your pic on it for review, look for the code that will let you know if you are D (director), A(agency) or D/A (both)choice! Sometimes they use symbols…and many times we actors never find out! Don't fret!
When you enter the room remember: You don't know what is really going on behind that door! That is, they team may be in a heated discussion over the direction of the spot and the necessary look for the talent. It is an assumption that the Director knows EXACTLY what he or she is looking for. In fact, in most cases, the decision is made by the entire team!
TRANSLATION: There are lots of cooks in the kitchen!!
The next step is the most important step. After all, you are now armed with a little more insider's information!
What is the most important step?
The truth is, there is no secret weapon, magic bullet, inside information or buddy of a casting director that can single handedly determine whether an actor books a spot!
Congratulate child for getting up and walking into that audition room!
As mom of three actors…Well, two actors and one loud toddler who happens to audition and book, managing expectations is a part of my repertoire! I have found a very simple way to keep the HIGH highs and the LOW lows away from the kids. I CLOSE MY BEDROOM DOOR AND POUND ON MY BED!!! YES, this business can be unfair, objectifying and hurtful. BUT, it can also be gratifying, exciting and fulfilling. How fun it is to fly out of state, film for an extended period of time, return to school with stories and treats for your classmates and friends! But how horrifying it can be to attend the premiere, watch the movie in the midst of a large audience, only to see that your child's role has been truncated to a non-verbal role, what is referred to at times as "furniture" in a scene. WHAT DO YOU DO? Well, this situation has actually happened in our family!
My ground rules are:
1. Revel in the experience of traveling, touring a new city, meeting new people, and experiencing a new environment.
2. I don't discuss the "what ifs" with my children. "What if they fly you around the world for all the premiers?!?!?", "What if this is THE ROLE that catapults you into super stardom?!?!?!" lalalalala.. "What if the cut you completely out of the movie/tv show/commercial?!?!?!?"
3. Once the project is done, I don't chat about it with the kids. We move on. Now, I can assure you that my hubby and I are processing whe what if's together, away from the kids!
4. Last but not least, I TiVo the project and watch without the children. In fact THEY NEVER KNOW when a new project is set to air. I just don't put it on their mental calendar!
5. Remember that this business is a parallel universe! In my mind, it's not REALITY. Being a Disney star or the next indie ingenue will not change the essence of your child. What DOES make a well rounded, interesting actor, in my opinion, is a child with passions, interests and desires.
Instead of focusing on the next project, let's focus on the next passion!!
Hey all!
Another school year has started and the planets are aligning perfectly! Besides being the mommy of an 8th grader, 5th grader and preschooler, I have also been busy taking notes on set to pass on to you all!

Former Rep. J.C. Watts delivered the annual State of African American Literacy address. Topics included literacy as a pathway to economic, political, and social leadership. He described the history of literacy among black slaves in the U.S., and talked about Phyllis Wheatley, a slave in the 18th century who published her first poem at age 14. He also talked about illiteracy being highly correlated to crime.

On Thursday May 28th from 11 till 2, there will be a holiday fun day for children aged between 5 and 12 in Touchstones. No doubt many of the children will be brought by a parent or relative and it is with them in mind that, as an author of five Lancashire based novels, I will be around signing copies of three of my novels One Winter, One Autumn and Two Season. I will also be talking to anybody who might be interested in doing what I have done, which is writing fiction based around my own life and time. My material includes romance, family life, work, northern humour, redundancy, stonies, football, crown green bowls and rugby league which I have been associated with since 1947.

The Hardest Demons to Defeat are the Ones Inside.
This is the tagline and theme for my new MMA "Oni Fighters" series. (Oni mean's demon in Japanese). Nope, it's not paranormal. It's all about fighting the demons that live inside all of us.
These books are about overcoming our deepest fears and the mental roadblocks we have created that prevent us from really shinning. Some of the "scars" in the series will be physical and some will be mental.
The setting is a group of MMA fighters that fight like demons in the ring but are still trying to overcome their own pains. They will learn to defeat the demons they carry, through finding love and acceptance.
I'm really enjoying writing this series and can't wait to share it with you. Our own mind is something we all struggle with everyday. If you look inwardly and closely enough you'll probably see —The hardest demons to defeat are the ones inside.
