Research Suggests Chronic Stress Linked to Alzheimers Disease
by Dr. Reeja Tharu on April 9, 2012 at 12:40 PM Health Watch - G J E 4
A new study by scientists at the San Diego school of medicine on chronic stress has shown that this condition causes the production and accumulation of tau proteins in mice brain cells.
The tau protein aggregates observed during the study conducted on brain cells of mice were similar to the tau proteins that are also found in Alzheimer's disease in humans. The results have been published in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
AdvertisementStress is a natural response to difficult situations and in the recent years it has also been linked to psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression. On an upbeat note, not all kinds of stress are harmful. 'Acute stress', which is event-free and may even prove to be beneficial, is believed to help improve brain plasticity and develop learning.
However the word 'stress' frequently indicates chronic stress, an affected state of mind that has now integrated in our daily life. Work place troubles, relationship problems, financial, health or other emotional challenges contribute to chronic stress.
Chronic stress is 'harmful' as it brings about pathological changes in the body and is known to have severe health implications. The findings from the present study confirm those made by earlier clinical findings, which suggest that individuals prone to stress are more likely to develop sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), which, incidentally, accounts for more than 90% of people with AD.
When people begin to age their neurons become less capable of handling the effects of stress. During stressful situations the hypothalamus of the brain releases the Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH). The role of the CRH is to stimulate the pituitary gland to release the adrenocorticotropic hormone which would act on the adrenal glands to release the stress hormone, cortisol.
The pathology of the AD reveals the involvement of two different proteins, beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). The NFTs comprise of aggregates of a protein called Tau. The role of tau protein is to maintain cellular structure and in the building of the cytoskeleton.
In a person with Alzheimer, the end of the tau protein gets phosphorylated, as a result of which they form aggregates. When the aggregates amplify they form neurofibrillary tangles that correlate with a person's cognitive decline, a symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Research on tau proteins could throw light on the symptoms and progress of AD, which, in turn, would help in the management of the condition.
During experiments conducted on mouse models, repeated episodes of human-like stress resulted in the phosphorylation and altered the solubility of neuronal tau proteins. This process is most evident in the hippocampus, which is the seat of memory and, also the area that is first and hardest hit during the unfolding of AD pathology.
In the above-said experiments, two corticotrophin - releasing factor receptors were particularly impacted by stress. Antagonists against these receptors reduced stress- effects. Drugs are being tried that modulate the functioning of these receptors.
The critical research however has raised many doubts. First of all, there is no clear-cut evidence to suggest that NFTs cause AD. Secondly, no cognitive decline was noticed in mice despite the increase in phosphorylated tau. Thirdly, the possibility that the mice might have got used to the repeated stress cannot be ruled out and therefore, using a different kind of stress after a certain period might have been more effective.
Despite the loopholes, this interesting work carried out by Rissman et al has immense potential but needs added evidence for larger and sustained effect.
Robert A. Rissmann, Michael A. Staup, Allyson Roe Lee, Nicholas J. Justice, Kenner C. Rice, Wylie Vale, and Paul E. Sawchenko (2012):" Corticotropin-releasing factor receptor-dependent effects of repeated stress on tau phosphorylation, solubility, and aggregation": PNAS, 2012.

I'm still trying to get adjusted to this whole not going into work thing. I have so much more time on my hands where I don't need to be rushed to finish all my school work in one day – which has been amazing, but, I'm also trying to learn how to equally spread my work out so I always have something to do. Not that I'm ever out of things to do since there are always articles, tutorials and new blogs to come across, so really my work is never complete! I think I'm just starting to get into a new routine, though I'm sure once I fully feel satisfied, school will be out for the Summer. Oh well, live and learn I guess! I don't have any major plans this weekend as my little Mr. is out of town. I'm sure I will catch up on some of my guilty pleasure t.v. shows while he's away otherwise they will sit in our queue forever! Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
P.S – Many of you asked about my tattoo in my last post.. I got it 3.5 years ago and it says, "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." XOX

Cannot Be Unseen: Totoro Inspired Spandex Body Suit
This is the $40 'Cartoon Totoro Lycra Spandex Multicolor Zentai Suit' available from Milanoo. If it hadn't said Totoro in the product title, I probably wouldn't have known it was supposed to be him. And that might have made it better. But let's not kid ourselves, we've already seen too much for this to ever get much better. Sure the memory will fade, but in a year from now when I yell 'TOTORO SPANDEX BODYSUIT!' in some random post, this imagery will come rushing back, and you will thank me. "I will hate you." You will threaten to kill me in the comments. Until that day, my friend.
Hit the jump in case you wanted to see what it looks like in the butt area.
ChaosLex set me this, you can all thank him.

College Hockey:Badgers Back On Top
Wisconsin beats back Mercyhurst for third crown
BOSTON — The Wisconsin Badgers weren't broke entering their fourth national title game in a row. So they didn't fix a thing.
The sure-fire combination of suffocating offense and unbeatable goaltending served UW well, as the Badgers parried every valiant Mercyhurst thrust in a 5-0 romp. Sophomore superstar Hilary Knight scored a goal with an assist, as did junior Meghan Duggan and senior Angie Keseley. Senior center Erika Lawler tallied three assists in the win, and Wisconsin (34-2-5) also got strikes from frosh Brooke Ammerman and Malee Windmeier. Patty Kazmaier Award winner Jessie Vetter made 37 saves for her NCAA-record 14th shutout of the season.
It was a tough game and obviously were really excited about being victorious, said coach Mark Johnson. Last year we came up a little bit short, and I know our senior class wanted to get to this game and certainly when we got ourselves in a position, I told them we needed to play to win. I felt we did that for most of the game today. With Jessie in net, when we did break down, we bended for a while, what shes done for four years, you saw today.
Its exciting to win this; its tough to get here. Obviously the coaches within our league and certainly throughout the country understand all the time and effort that these young kids put into it. Its a long six months journey, and its just nice to take the trophy back to Madison.
The youthful but incendiary Lakers kept Vetter busy all night, but couldn't take advantage of what little space she gave them. Powerful forward Meghan Agosta was at the forefront of the attack, but Mercyhurst (31-6-0) couldn't overcome UW's dominance. Freshman goaltender Hillary Pattenden made 27 saves in defeat.
I think anytime you lose is just unfortunate, but we talked to the team and told them that we did do a lot this year, said head coach Michael Sisti. For as young as we were and with a 3-4 start, we were banged up down the stretch, but our kids showed great heart and grit to get here. It was certainly a wonderful experience.
I think well look back and be able to relish everything we did accomplish, but today its certainly disappointing. We know how far this team has come and for me personally, how far the program has come. The hurdles weve had to jump over to get to this point make it very rewarding, but its still disappointing, he added.
The teams warmed to the event quickly with an exciting fifth minute of play. An errant Laker pass inadvertently sprung Keseley on a breakaway, but Pattenden was up to the task with a patient deke-denying butterfly. The puck promptly reversed direction with a 50-foot feed to lonesome Laker Jesse Scanzano at the Badger blueline. The Montreal-bred import tested Vetter, but the newly minted Patty Kaz winner lived up to the honor with the save.
The Lakers more than managed to hold their own early on, peppering the top seed's 'tender with six of the game's first eight shots and dictating the pace of the action with their speed and superb transitional adjustments.
Wisconsin center Ammerman had the best opportunity to open the scoring as of her 15th-minute shot, beating Pattenden clean with a 25-foot wrister. The diving, knuckling puck eluded the goalkeeper's swinging right pad and bounced goalward, but the blue-clad underdogs were saved by Pattenden's forgiving post.
Kazmaier finalist Agosta made an equally potent play two minutes later with a run down the right-wing lane. Swinging hard around the Badger defense, the nation's leading scorer-per-game danced across Vetter's crease, but her shot was refused entry with a far-side kick-save.
An exceptional first period hit the books nil-nil. The Lakers out-shot the Madison women 9-7, but enduring a late penalty that left UW with 44 seconds of fresh-sheet power play time to start the second.
We thought we could exploit them and we did in the first period, but we just didnt capitalize, Sisti lamented. Goals are momentum, especially if you get can get them against a team like Wisconsin which doesnt give up a lot of them. So that was important and I think even in the second we were going okay, but a number of things took a lot of win out of our sails.
The Lakers dodged one shorthanded punch when Duggan failed to put the lumber on Keseley's cross-crease pass; Duggan was alone atop the blue paint but Keseley's trajectory was just a bit tight. Wisconsin renewed their power play with five seconds still remaining in the original minor, but in the end the Lakers held the fort, killing the summed 3:55 disadvantage.
Defenseman Olivia Jakiel was called for tripping moments later, leading to a double-bid on rebound shots from Laker strikers Bailey Bram and Agosta, but Vetter was square to each try.
The WCHA champs took advantage of their goalie's stops, racing back for the game's first goal. Leading scorer Knight was prevented from taking a point-blank shot off the rush from Pattenden's right, but was forced into the crease as Ammerman wheeled the puck around the net. Pattenden couldn't recover her left post in time, allowing the rookie to slip the wraparound between the pipes.
The first goal in these types of game is huge, Johnson mused. If you score it, obviously your team settles down a little bit more and gets a little bit more comfortable in the standpoint of youre going to play in the way youre normally going to play. Up to that point, especially early in the first period, similar to our game against Duluth, we were a little tentative, it was like a game of chess going back and forth.
The first goal is huge. When you have young players, you have freshmen, you dont know how theyre going to react in this environment. If you score, like Mercyhurst did yesterday they got excited. It creates energy, it makes you play a little bit stronger. Obviously the first goal for us helped today.
The Badgers struck again 8:48 into the stanza, crashing the net to perfection in a bang-bang play. Senior blueliner Alycia Matthews got the puck to the net, where Duggan muscled it over Pattenden.
The favorites were just heating up, running a textbook three-on-one 1:50 later after a short but spirited Mercyhurst possession. Knight crossed to Lawler, whose return pass to Keseley eluded a diving defender. The workhorse winger coolly redistributed the puck into the yawning cage, to the raucous approval of the red-heavy crowd.
We rushed a couple of plays with the puck and maybe an early goal would have jump-started us, said Sisti. I thought we were okay, a little tentative and then in the second period when we let in that goal we really showed our youth and started doing things a little differently than we like to do them. That certainly rattled us a little bit.
The sides traded chances as the game approached its second intermission, but it was Duggan's pipe-pinging salvo with 20 seconds left that left the crowd gasping.
After 40 minutes of play, Wisconsin held a decisive but somewhat misleading 3-0 advantage. The Badgers tallied 16 shots in the frame to Mercyhurst's 10, and prepared for a batten-down-the-hatches third period.
I think the team was excited to go into the second period. As weve seen this season, the second period seems to be our thing., said Lawler. And I guess we shouldve come out a little harder, but we were really excited – it might be a mental thing, I dont know – but when that second period hits, we all get extra excited because for some reason thats when they start to go in for us.
Wisconsin engraved its name in the title trophy three and a half minutes into the third, as Windmeier's long rip from the right-wing point ticked off a Mercyhurst stick in front. The waist-high shot snapped away from Pattenden on the deflection, dusting the twine inside the right post. Knight

At breakfast, [Harry] and [Ron] overhear [Fred and George] talking secretively about something, but they refuse to tell. Harry changes the subject to the [Triwizard Tournament], but [Hermione] quickly shifts it to [house-elves], frustrating everyone around her again. [Hedwig] distracts Harry, though, delivering news from [Sirius] that he is now hidden not far from [Hogwarts].
The [Hogwarts] community gathers in front of the [castle] to greet its visitors from [Beauxbatons] and [Drumstrang], who arrive dramatically in a [flying carriage] and a [ship], respectively, impressing the students. [Ron] is even more impressed, however, when he realizes that one of the Drumstrang students is [Viktor Krum].
Chapter 16 - "The Goblet of Fire" - In which all learn about the Triwizard Tournament after dinner in the Great Hall. Next morning Fred and George fail to fool the Goblet of Fire. HRH visit Hagrid, discovering that he fancies Madame Maxime of Beauxbatons. After the Hallowe'en feast, the Goblet chooses the champions - Viktor Krum for Durmstrang; Fleur Delacour for Beauxbatons; Cedric Diggory for Hogwarts..and a fourth champion - Harry Potter.
The Opening of the Triwizard Tournament
As the students walk inside, [Ron] obsesses over [Viktor Krum], while [Hermione], obviously tense, makes snide comments about the attitudes of the [Beauxbatons] students. Meanwhile, [Filch] puts out extra chairs in the [Great Hall] and [Dumbledore] continues to welcome the guests.
[Dumbledore] begins the feast, which features some unfamiliar foreign foods. Meanwhile a girl comes over from the [Beauxbatons] table who manages to distract [Ron] from [Krum], as she seems to be a [veela]. Meanwhile [Ludo Bagman] and [Barty Crouch] arrive and take seats as well.
As the feast ends, [Dumbledore] gets up to introduce [Crouch] and [Bagman], as well, of course, to open the [Triwizard Tournament]. He introduces the [Goblet of Fire], into which students will have twenty-four hours to drop their names if they wish to enter the tournament, and are also over the age of seventeen.
On the way out of the [Great Hall], [Fred and George] scheme about getting across the [Age Line], [Karkaroff] fawns over [Viktor Krum] almost as much as the [Hogwarts] students, and the entire [Drumstrang] group freezes when Karkaroff notices [Harry Potter] and his [scar], until [Moody] arrives and pushes them along.
The Submitting of Names
[Harry], [Ron], and [Hermione] start their Saturday morning by wandering down to the [Great Hall] and the [Goblet of Fire]. Soon after, [Fred], [George], and [Lee Jordan] arrive having taken [Aging Potion] - but when Fred and George step across the [Age Line] to put their names in the Goblet, they are launched across the room and sprout long, white beards.
In the [Great Hall], students gossip about who has entered the [Triwizard Tournament], including [Warrington] and [Cedric Diggory]. [Angelina Johnson] then walks in, just having put her name in as well, exciting the [Gryffindors].
Back in the [entrance hall], the [Beauxbatons] students file in and drop their names in the [Goblet of Fire] while [Hermione] runs up to her room to grab her [S.P.E.W.] badges, intent on offering one to [Hagrid].

If mostly the second choices, then you probably woulld enjoy being a chef, otherwise, you will probably be happier as a cook.
Well, in my area, talking entry level, hours will vary with the establishment, pay starts around $9-$11/hour, no fringe benefits. That's for a cafe/restaurant, fast food is a game I know little to nothing about! Oh, if you have a culinary diploma/certificate, maybe $8.50/hour JUST KIDDING!
For many independents, split shifts are not uncommon.
Overtime? Highly unlikely, too many looking for work.
You'll probably start as a relief dishwasher/gopher or, if you're lucky, prep helper. If you're skilled and adept, you'll have a good chance of advancing.
As you work through the stations, i.e. prep cook, garde manger, line cook, head line cook, Chef de Partie, Sous Chef, Chef de Cuisine, you'll eventually get to Executive Chef, kind of like being in the military, there are enlisted and then there are officers (read chefs). If you're REAL good, you'll make "officer" in 10-15 years (and watch the 40 hour week disappear and morph into 50,60, 70 or more hours) and you'll probably be making $30,000-$60,000/year and begin to have opportunities to go out on your own instead of working for someone.
Does that help?
IMHO, none!

With the second half of the season in full swing, the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Clippers are in the thick of the playoff race in the competitive Western Conference. On Tuesday night, it was the Spurs who bested the Clippers 113-103 at the Staples Center and found their answer for replacing the injured point guard Tony Parker with Patty Mills.
Mills scored 25 points, including 16 in a crucial fourth quarter—a necessary performance given the loss of Parker "for the foreseeable future" due to a multitude of ailments. In addition, Mills took scoring pressure off of Tim Duncan, who was in foul trouble for most of his 38 minutes of action.
"He was great for us," said Duncan. "That fourth quarter, he really took over for that five minutes and gave us the lead that we needed. We were struggling trying to find points and keep the pressure on them, and he just completely took the ballgame over."
The Spurs were able to escape with the victory despite a 35-point, 12-rebound performance from Clippers All-Star Blake Griffin and a 25-point effort from Jamal Crawford. With the win, the Spurs improved their outstanding road record to a league-leading 21-7 and increased their lead over the Clippers to three games for the second-best record in the Western Conference.
Finding help from unlikely sources has been a trademark for Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich and he'll need more of the same from his roster like Mills to make another championship run this season. Moreover, finding players who can step up will buy Parker the time he needs to get healthy for the postseason.
"We're just trying to get him (Parker) healthy," said Duncan. "I mean, players being healthy is so underrated. When people play through things and they aren't 100 percent, the season becomes a grind. So we want to be 100 percent so that down the stretch and in the playoffs, when we ask him to do all that we need him to do, he's ready to go and carry that load on his shoulders."

A former understudy to Igor Akinfeev at PFC CSKA Moskva, Vladimir Gabulov returned to the club on loan from FC Anzhi Makhachkala in 2011, keeping goal in all six UEFA Champions League group matches and thereby reviving his prospects of being included in Russia's UEFA European Championship squad for the second successive tournament.
• A native of North Ossetia, he joined FC Dinamo Moskva in 2001 but returned home later that year to play for FC Alania Vladikavkaz, where he made 42 top-flight appearances.
• Moved back to the capital in 2004, joining CSKA, but became second choice to Akinfeev, playing no part in the 2005 Russian title win or UEFA Cup triumph; made just one start and two substitute appearances in the club's 2006 league championship success.
• Revived his career in 2007 at FC Kuban Krasnodar − despite the club's relegation − and graduated from the national under-21 side to the senior squad, making his debut in a friendly against Poland on 22 August 2007 in Moscow (2-2).
• Was sent off on his competitive debut for Russia − a UEFA EURO 2008 qualifier against the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia − but returned for the final three group matches against England, Israel and Andorra and, after a loan spell at FC Amkar Perm, was selected for the 23-man party at the finals.
• Rejoined Dinamo Moskva after UEFA EURO 2008 and remained there for two and a half years, making his belated debut in UEFA club competition against Celtic FC in Glasgow in a UEFA Champions League qualifier.
• Moved to Anzhi in 2011 but struggled to make his mark and, with Akinfeev injured, was recruited on loan by CSKA, where he shone as the club reached the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Belgian-based TiGenix said it was closing its biomaterials unit TiGenix Ltd. so it could fully focus on the further commercial roll-out of ChondroCelect®, the company's commercial cell therapy product for cartilage repair in the knee, and its cell therapy product pipeline, which includes clinical stage allogeneic adult stem cell programs for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
"The formal closing of TiGenix Ltd. reduces complexity and allows us to exclusively focus on our high-value assets in the short and long term: ChondroCelect and our proprietary adipose-derived stem cell products," Eduardo Bravo, TiGenix's CEO, said in a statement.
The move comes some six weeks after TiGenix won European Medicines Agency approval Oct. 9 for commercial production of ChondroCelect at its European manufacturing plant in Sittard-Geleen, the Netherlands. TiGenix says the plant is fully geared towards the production of cell therapy products.
Earlier this month, TiGenix recorded a near-tripling (up 152%) of third-quarter sales, to €1.1 million ($1.4 million) from €0.4 million ($0.5 million), which the company attributed to increased use of ChondroCelect in Belgium and the Netherlands. For the first nine months of 2012, ChondroCelect racked up €3.2 million (about $4.2 million) in sales—€2.5 million from sales this year, the rest deferred from last year.
TiGenix' pipeline is led by its Cx601, an adipose-derived allogeneic stem cell suspension for complex perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease patients. Since July, the company has been enrolling patients in a Phase III clinical trial (ADMIRE-CD) designed to demonstrate safety and superior efficacy over placebo in perianal fistulas in Crohn's disease patients who failed to respond to previous treatment(s)—in most cases, biological—and to confirm safety and efficacy results from the Phase II trial completed last year and published last month in the International Journal of Colorectal Disease.
Since July, ADMIRE-CD has been enrolling toward the approximately 278 patients it wants to study at 46 centers across seven European countries and Israel.
The company is also carrying out a Phase IIa trial of Cx611 in rheumatoid arthritis, for which patient enrollment was completed Aug. 8. TiGenix said it expects to report preliminary results in Q4 and final results no later than April 2013.

New Prenatal Test Proposed as Standard of Care
by Kathy Jones on December 6, 2012 at 7:46 PM General Health News - G J E 4
A new genetic test resulted in significantly more clinically relevant information than the current standard method of prenatal testing, a large, multi-center clinical trial led by researchers from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) has revealed.
The test uses microarray analysis to conduct a more comprehensive examination of a fetus's DNA than is possible with the current standard method, karyotyping-a visual analysis of the fetus's chromosomes. Results were published in the Dec. 6, 2012, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
AdvertisementThe prospective, blinded trial involved 4,400 patients at 29 centers nationwide; the data took four years to compile. The study involved women with advanced maternal age and those whose fetuses were shown in early screening to be at heightened risk for Down syndrome, to have structural abnormalities (as seen with ultrasound), or to have indications of other problems. Ronald J. Wapner, MD, professor and vice chairman for research at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at CUMC and director of reproductive genetics at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia, was principal investigator. This is the first and only study to prospectively compare karyotyping with microarray in a blinded head-to-head trial.
The trial found that microarray analysis, which compares a fetus's DNA with a normal (control) DNA, performed as well as karyotyping in identifying common aneuploidies (an abnormal number of chromosomes-an extra or missing chromosome causes genetic disorders such as Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome); it also identified additional abnormalities undetected by karyotyping.
Among fetuses in which a growth or structural anomaly had already been detected with ultrasound, microarray found clinically relevant chromosomal deletions or duplications in one out of 17 cases (6%) that were not observed with karyotyping. In cases sampled for advanced maternal age or positive screening results, microarray analysis picked up an abnormality in one out of every 60 pregnancies (1.7%) that had a normal karyotype.
"Based on our findings, we believe that microarray will and should replace karyotyping as the standard for evaluating chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses," said Dr. Wapner. "These chromosomal micro-deletions and duplications found with microarray are often associated with significant clinical problems."
As with karyotyping, microarray requires fetal cells obtained via an invasive procedure such as amniocentesis, where fetal cells are taken from the amniotic fluid, or chorionic villus sampling, where cells are taken from the placenta. Parents deciding whether to take these tests must weigh a number of factors, including their individual risk of fetal abnormalities, possible procedure-induced miscarriage, and the consequences of having an affected child. Work is underway to develop a non-invasive test, the same information seen by microarray, using a blood sample taken from the mother but is not yet available.
"We hope that in the future-when microarray can be done non-invasively-every woman who wishes will be offered microarray, so that she can have as complete information as possible about her pregnancy," said Dr. Wapner.
Second Paper Published in Same Issue of NEJM re: Microarray in Stillbirth
In a second paper published in the same issue of NEJM, about the use of microarray in stillbirth, results showed that microarray produced a clinical relevant result in 87% of 532 cases, which were analyzed with both karyotyping and microarray. In contrast, standard methods for analyzing a stillbirth, which include karyotyping, have been shown in previous research to fail to return information in 25-60% of cases.
"Microarray was significantly more successful at returning clinically relevant information because, unlike karyotyping, it does not require cultured cells. Viability does not come into play at all-DNA can be extracted from tissue that is no longer living," said study senior author, Brynn Levy, MSc(Med), PhD, associate professor of pathology and cell biology, and co-director of the Division of Personalized Genomic Medicine at CUMC, and director of the Clinical Cytogenetics Laboratory at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia. "Not being able to explain why a stillbirth occurred can be very hard for families. These findings are important because they give us a significantly more reliable method to provide information to families and their physicians."
"The primary benefit of using microarray analysis rather than karyotype analysis is the greater likelihood of obtaining results," said Uma Reddy, MD, MPH of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the National Institutes of Health, first author of the paper. "Microarray analysis is especially useful in stillbirth cases in which the karyotype has failed or there is a birth defect present. However, microarray analysis is currently more expensive than karyotyping - and this may be a barrier to some."
The study used data compiled by NICHD's Stillbirth Collaborative Research Network (SCRN), a population-based study of stillbirth in five geographic catchment areas.
Clinical Significance of Chromosomal Abnormalities Growing by Leaps and Bounds
Both microarray and karyotyping reveal clinically relevant information about conditions that can be life-threatening for a newborn baby or that can signal a possible health threat that might be treatable. However, as with all current genetic testing including karyotyping, the results may reveal findings that have not been described in the literature or in which the exact implications are known.
"While the vast majority of abnormalities found with microarray are associated with known conditions, not all are. But with time, knowledge and understanding of what these abnormalities mean will continue to grow," said Dr. Wapner. "When we started this study five years ago, the incidence of findings we did not understand was about 2.5%-now, with more information, that has fallen to 1.5%."
Dr. Wapner is currently leading phase two of his microarray study. Supported by the NICHD (NIH Grant No. 2U01HD055651-06; Project No. GG006961), he has begun a five-year study to follow children born to mothers who underwent microarray, to learn the clinical implications of micro-deletions or duplications that are not yet understood.
"Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to predict the full spectrum of some diseases indicated by a particular deletion or duplication," said Dr. Wapner. "Genetic medicine is about obtaining genomic information about an individual and predicting what affect it will have on that person. But we are all different-so genetic abnormality in one person may behave differently than in someone else. For example, an inherited disease could be mild in the mother but severe in her child. We are studying what these mean clinically, and science continues to catch up with our ability to obtain the information."

1858: Lincoln-Douglas Debates
The Lincoln-Douglas debates on the extension of slavery during the 1858 campaign for Illinois senatorship, illustrated in this drawing, attracted national attention. As Lincoln prepared for the debates he said his ambition for high political office was so clear that if he were to deny them, "I would only make myself look ridiculous."

text: Though a player's versatility can be cited as a negative by some -- so-called "tweeners" sometimes don't fit in to any position at the NFL level -- the capacity for a defender to move back and forth between the defensive line and into space as a linebacker can be of great help to a defense. To wit, Von Miller of the Broncos and Mathias Kiwanuka of the Giants have led quite productive careers to this point. And for 2013, we may see a pair of Seattle Seahawks defenders pull off a similar feat.

The Pierce College women's soccer team showed good offensive depth in its 3-0 win against El Camino on Tuesday in the second round of the CCCAA South Regional Playoffs at the Pierce Pit.
The Brahmas extended their undefeated streak and improved their record to 21-0-2.
Pierce goalkeeper Marissa Graska made three saves and tallied another shutout, making it 16 for the season. Graska credits her team's "solid defense" and said she believes her team can keep winning.
"We can go all the way," Graska said. "We definitely have a great shot at winning the state championship."
The Brahmas took a 1-0 lead in the 44th minute of play with a goal by Daisy Alvarenga. Just two minutes into the second half, Briana Behrad scored her 19th goal of the season to extend the Brahmas lead to 2-0. Jessica Gonzalez sent a free kick into the upper right corner for a 3-0 lead in the 74th minute of play.
Alvarenga's goal was her seventh of the season and she also tallied an assist in the game.
"It was a really exciting game to play and I just wanted to score a goal," Alvarenga said.
El Camino (13-7-3) was seeded ninth in the playoffs after tying for third place in the South Coast Conference.
Pierce (21-0-2) advances to the third round of the playoffs and will host fourth-seeded Cerritos (21-1-2) on Saturday, Nov. 27 at 2 pm. With a win, the Brahmas will advance to the semifinals of the state championship, to be played on Dec. 3 at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita.

During the next few months Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) will release two new games that have been under development for seven years between them. But will that extra time commitment pay off for the game publisher?
In the following video, Fool contributor Demitrios Kalogeropoulos takes a closer look at Destiny, set for release in September, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which comes out in November. Developer Bungie has been working on Destiny for more than four years, but Activision has plans for the brand that stretch out into the future much farther than that, he notes.
Next up is a fresh addition to a much older brand: Call of Duty's latest chapter is worth paying attention to as its the first installment in the franchise to benefit from a three-year, as opposed to a two-year, development cycle. That change should make for a much more polished game, with better graphics -- and, ideally, a bug-free launch. Both of these titles will be critical to Activision's future, so investors should watch closely for new details about them to be unveiled at next month's E3 industry conference.

Mergers and acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions are the primary ways two companies combine to become one entity.
Expanded Definition
Companies merge with and acquire other companies in order to grow rapidly and consolidate or expand competitive advantages.
Mergers occur when companies of relatively similar size agree to go forward together as a single new entity. Horizontal mergers involve two companies that produce similar products in the same industry, for example, two drug companies. Vertical mergers involve two companies involved at different stages of production for the same product, for example, a manufacturer and a supplier.
Acquisitions involve one company, usually the larger entity, absorbing another company, either by negotiating a deal with the board of directors (a friendly takeover) or by seeking to overtake management control (hostile takeover). Many acquisitions are publicized as mergers to preserve face.
Companies may choose to merge with or acquire other companies for many reasons, including increased revenue or market share, reducing tax liability by purchasing a loss maker, vertical integration, geographical expansion, and economies of scale.
Mergers and acquisitions rarely produce the long-term positive effects they are planned or expected to have, suggesting that some mergers and acquisitions are made for reasons of managerial ego, empire-building, and lack of other ways to deploy capital.

Traditionally, a silhouette is a form of artwork, the term originating in the 18th century and applied to portraits or other pictorial representations cut from thin black card. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sillouette. Before photography, silhouette profiles cut from black card were the cheapest way of recording a person's appearance.
Paper silhouette profiles were quite popular with sailors as mementos of their loved ones who were left at home while the sailors went to sea. While captains and officers could afford to take hand painted miniatures of their wives and children to sea, sailors brought the more affordable paper silhouette along with them.
Join silhouette artist Carol Lebeaux at the USS Constitution Museum on November 11 and take home one of these memories in profile. Ms. Lebeaux www.home.townisp.com/~artscarol, who has a well established reputation throughout New England cutting portrait silhouettes at arts and craft fairs and fund-raising events, while working directly from the sitting model, will be in the museum between 10 am and 4 pm to create silhouettes for all interested visitors.
An original silhouette is priced at $33.00. A duplicate copy, cut at the same time, costs $12.00 each (free for Museum members). Mats and classic oval frames will also be available for purchase and Carol will mount and frame silhouettes on site. A great holiday gift! Silhouettes can also be created from photographs. See Carol's website for more information about the silouhette process www.home.townisp.com/~artscarol.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of silhouettes will benefit the USS Constitution Museum's educational programs www.ussconstitutionmuseum.org.
Please call 617-426-1812 ext.146 or e-mail email@example.com for more information or to reserve time for Carol to make a silhouette.

Greater Louisville, Inc. (GLI), Louisville's chamber of commerce, hired the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to conduct a feasibility study on the prospects of attracting an NBA professional basketball franchise to the city. In a report released today, it appears that these prospects are dim, to say the least.
Thirteen years ago, when community leaders were deciding whether or not to build an expensive basketball arena downtown, GLI sought advice from the same accounting firm, and was advised at the time that use of the planned riverfront arena by a professional basketball team would be critical to the financial feasibility of the project.
Following the construction of the $450 million, 22,500-seat KFC Yum! Center complex, the Louisville Metro Government expended a significant amount of taxpayer funds, in an attempt to lure an NBA franchise to the arena; all to no avail.
The KFC Yum! Center was completed, after a bitter controversy in which University of Louisville athletics director Tom Jurich, along with University of Louisville president James Ramsey, local pizza magnate John Schnatter, and Humana co-founder David Jones, expressed serious concerns and reservations about the project. Current estimates indicate that the total debt on the bonds used to finance the arena will amount to at least $573 million, over 30 years.
The GLI study identifies a number of significant problems relating to lack of local support for a professional basketball team, including a relatively low number of corporations willing to participate in funding the team, and potential difficulty scheduling games at the arena, because of its use by the University of Louisville's basketball team.
The report also expresses concerns about the fact that no two existing NBA markets with less than 3.5 million residents are located within a five hour drive of one another. A portion of the resident base within a 90-minute drive of the KFC Yum! Center also resides within a 90-minute drive of Bankers Life Fieldhouse, home of the Indiana Pacers.
Finally, the report indicates that local support for college basketball would militate against support for a professional team: "Louisville has a well-established basketball fan base, but the unique dynamic that exists between the community and college basketball could serve as a potential constraint should a local NBA team be improperly positioned as a competitive versus complementary or differentiated offering."

HEBRON — Ryan Gallagher went for the gusto. The Buckeye senior vowed at last year's state cross country meet he would go for the top prize.
For 2 miles Saturday, Gallagher appeared to have a shot. He trailed leader Abel Flores of Defiance by only 5-7 yards.
Gallagher went through the 1,600 meters at 4:52 and the 3,200 mark at 9:57, but things fell apart as he faded in the last mile to seventh in 16:00.7.
St. Vincent-St. Mary senior Mick Iacofano edged Flores 15:32.98 to 15:46.48 for the title.
"It's my senior year, last race, I might as go well go out with a win," Gallagher said. "I knew where I had to attack the race to get a good place. Unfortunately, I couldn't hold it."
Gallagher was sixth (15:59.75) last season, 36th (16:41.7) as a sophomore and 72nd (17:41.12) as a freshman.
"I've been a risk-taker, but pretty conservative most of the year," Gallagher said. "I went out to win it and I didn't, but that's fine.
"If I had stayed with Flores, I could have gone with the other guy (Iacofano). I know hindsight is 20-20, but I did it the best way I knew how."
Iacofano barely defeated Gallagher at the Tiffin Regional, trailing nearly the entire way before outkicking Gallagher in the end.
"I was going out for the win and came up short," Gallagher said. "I didn't want to regret not trying. I can walk away with no regrets."
"We had a couple discussions this past week," Buckeye coach Jon Brenenstuhl said. "That was his goal. You had to take a chance. There were 5-6 people capable of winning it. You have to have a little more guts if you want it."
Teammate J.J. Grzincic had the race of his life, as he finished 10th in 16:06.32 for All-Ohio honors — top 25 — in his state debut.
"The weather was very good and the course was in perfect shape," he said. "It was a little cold with not that much wind. I'm glad where I ended up. I would have liked to finish a little closer to Ryan, but it's good.
"Honestly, I went out a little too fast, but I think that's also what helped me to stay out front. I left it all out there."
Medina County teams fared respectable in the team competition.
The Brunswick girls finished 11th, with six of their seven runners having personal records or very close to it.
Freshman Vanessa Pasadyn led the way, finishing 52nd in a personal-record 19:02.23 despite being tripped from behind and losing up to 12 places.
"I somersaulted when I landed," said Pasadyn. "I was really caught off guard. I was spiked back in the seventh grade, but never had a bad race like that before. I just had to get focused and right back into it. I wasn't going to let the race get away from me.
"The girl who did it was a little freshman from Solon (Louiza Wise, 58th in 19:06.19). She said, 'Sorry,' when it happened and apologized to me after we finished."
It was a bit amusing that Pasadyn used the tab "little freshman." Pasadyn is 4-foot-9, 74 pounds and undoubtedly the smallest athlete at state.
Freshman Jenna Scott (73rd, 19:21.20), junior Tara Horton (86th, 19:32.33), sophomore Emily LaPolla (87th, 19:33.83) and sophomore Hannah Meyer (105th, 19:50.45) rounded out the top five.
Scott, Horton and Meyers ran personal records.
"They ran well," coach Kerry Hunter said. "A couple of spots could have been a little bit better, but when you have that many PRs, you have to be very happy."
Brunswick finished with 243 points and within striking distance of Bay (218), Hudson (219) and Massillon Jackson (220).
The Brunswick boys finished 13th with 264 points. The top five finished within a 20.01-second spread, and all seven finished within 23.73 seconds.
Senior Tyler Menear (63rd, 16:15.96) led the way.
"The top five all had PRs, although I had my sights on sub-16," Menear said. "I'm still happy with how things turned out. It was a fun day. We were ranked only No. 15, so it's good."
Senior Logan Indre (88th, 16:30.12), Cody Buszkar (89th, 16:32.44), Josh Sumerauer (91st, 16:33.87) and Jake Mehalik (94th, 16:35.97) rounded out the top five.
"I couldn't ask for anything better," Hunter said. "We don't have the big stud out front to get a low number, so we all have to be close. Every day at practice we talk about it."
Junior Dan Schwendler (86th, 16:29.12) led the Medina boys, who finished 16th with 376 points. Junior Dylan Dombi (108th, 16:40.87), senior Ken Kutcel (111th, 16:43.09), senior Ian McKee (118th, 16:47.45) and senior Tommy Menyes (125th, 16:54.86) rounded out the top five.
"Dan, Dylan and Ken ran pretty well," said Medina coach Milt Place. "The rest of the guys didn't run as well as the week before at regionals, but it's nice to get here. Our state meet was probably last week."

High Speed Served:
Voice: 1.5 THB/min
GPRS/EDGE: Not sure if this is available
Variety Served:
Voice: 1 THB/min
GPRS/EDGE: Not sure if this is available
There must be more to these two packages as it looks like VAriety Served is obviously better.

Service Provider True
Location National with limited 3G coverage

WiFi: 5 hours/30 days, 0.01 THB/KB over allowance
3G: 200 MB/30 days
Notes: not sure how much the SIM costs, but when you buy the SIM you do get 3g:100 MB; EDGE/GPRS:30 MB and WiFi: 1 hour
There are other service levels available with this pre-paid Net SIM service. The 399 THB level with 500 MB of EDGE/GPRS and 3G, with 10 hours of WiFi seems like a good package to try out True before potentially comitting to apost-paid contract?

+1 I would avoid their time-based packages where they charge by the hour or minute. Your phone will easily go through that in a couple of days. Better to have the charge by the MB,such as the smart phone package. Either the smart phone package, or unlimited internet, which is 650 baht.
I think they could provide more MB, but they know that would be good for the consumer. The service is acceptable and you get it anywhere. I used it primarily in Phuket and Chumphon.

very informative and helpful. too bad, old-fashioned THAIVISA does not have a button like almost all other Forums, where you can "THANK" someone for a contribution (or am I only too stupid to see it maybe ?)
LOMATOPO should actually be a MOD in this Forum, he/she provides such a wealth of helpful information.
and on the other hand, the actual MODs here even want to make u believe that 3G does not exist in LOS......

I live in the metro-Bangkok area and since January I have been using both True 3G and iMobile 3GX in a smartphone application. Here is a brief review of my experiences with True to date. I will follow this with a similar review of iMobile 3GX.
I have a Samsung Captivate (a Samsung Galaxy S variant), unlocked, rooted, running a 2.2.1 custom ROM, Paragon RC6. This model supports three (3) 3G frequencies: 850 Mhz, 1900 Mhz and 2100 Mhz
I have a True 3G, pre-paid Hi-Speed NetSIM, and a 399 baht/month package. The basic SIM cost 59 baht, the first three months included an extra 500 MB of 3G, and a base of 500 MB 3G. You also get 100 MB of 3G as part of the SIM platform. So 1.1 GB of 3G for the first 3 months and 600 MB of 3G per month after that. 3G coverage is quite good; I am in the eastern suburbs (Bang Phli, Dokmai, Prawaet, Ram2) often and have always had 3G coverage. In building coverage is also fantastic as expected. Mobile coverage, in an automobile, is excellent while coverage on faster moving vehicles like the BTS/SARL is less so as you have to wait 30 sec. to lock on a new tower. No 3G coverage in the MRT. The True WiFi is OK but I do experience occasional problems logging in and with drop-outs. When it connects it is fine. The are True WiFi hotspots in a lot of places. The 2G coverage seems fine, although perhaps not as fast as AIS/One-2-Call 2G? Voice quality is fine, calls are 1 baht/min 7/24 to any/all networks, SMS delivery/receipt seems reliable, 1/25 baht/SMS. Voice ad SMS are deducted from your balance; you do not get any free allotments with these plans.
True does not have nationwide coverage as do AIS/One-2-Call and DTAC/Happy (fewer base-stations, their original concession may not have called for 100% coverage?), so I have ended up in spots in Thailand with no True GSM coverage (unless perched on the roof, pointing the phone in just the right direction ), so you may want to carry a back-up SIM from DTAC/Happy or AIS/One-2-Call? Data rates vary, average 3G is 2.5 Mbps down, with a peak of 5.25 Mbps, 2G average is 175 Kbps down.
Billing and customer service are above average. Account status inquiries are average to below average with no web-based account management. You can get a account usage status by sending b to 9789. There is a SIM Toolkit widget but it does not work for me. I cannot originate or receive an MMS, despite countless attempts at APN configurations.
My primary application is smartphone and mobile connectivity; I have multiple broadband connections in the home. I have tested tethering, sharing the 3G across 3 WiFi devices. Im not so sure a smartphone makes the best router, but it worked fine. My average data cost is 50 satang per MB, factoring in 3G, 2G and WiFi.
Overall I would rate the service 9.0, out of 10. Obviously this rating only applies to my experiences having access to 3G coverage.
Posted 2011-05-22 14:27:36
For those outside of 3G area's i have found that DTAC is the best. I am now using DTAC's infinite on the faster series.
see here...http://www.dtac.co.th/page/?id=250
350 mins free calls, 400 sms, 75 mms, and unlimited internet (edge, it states 3g ready)
perfectly acceptable Internet speed for browsing etc.

AIS launched 3G service today across 1,884 base-stations in major metropolitan, and provincial locations. The service operates on the 3G (WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA et al) 900 Mhz bandwidth.
It looks like both AIS/post-paid and One-2-Call/pre-paid customers can enroll in the new packages. The pricing, especially in the 1 Gb sweet-spot is quite aggressive, and the fair-use limit at 3 GB (unlimited) is well thought out.

It seems like the B799 package (on the 4th link above) with unlimited download (shaped to 384k after 3GB) does not include any free phone calls or SMS's. Is that correct?
There is an iPhone "Max" package on the 1st link above with unlimted (but shaped after 3Gb of downloads) download for B839 which includes a fair amount of calls/SMS's/MMS's. "Max Plus" also includes unlimited AIS WiFi for B899. That compares to the current TrueMove (soon to be eliminated and replaced by TrueMove H) iPhone package for B599.
AIS Max/Max plus include 200 more free calls than True (500 vs 200), and AIS shapes to 384k whereas True shapes to 256k, but B300 more per month (50% more) is significant.
Posted 2011-07-30 17:31:04
Yes. And I think you could layer that on top of any pre-paid or post-paid plan.
I think we need to wait a few weeks to see any updated AIS/One-2-Call post-paid and pre-paid promotions and plans.
There is no question that the True iPhone post-paid Free-Size plan is the benchmark for price/performance: 599 baht/month (before 7% VAT), 300 minutes, 300 SMSes, 50 MMSes, unlimited WiFi, unlimited EDGE/GPRS and 3 GB (fair use) of 3G. However it should be noted that that plan is due to expire tomorrow (31 July 2011). Obviously it might be extended, and any customers under contract should expect to have that for at least 12 months from sign up.
The AIS iPhone, and other devices, packages are higher priced perhaps owing to wider availability/coverage? And perhaps True will raise their prices to match?

On Tuesday August 16, 2011 DTAC launched 3G service on 850 Mhz on some 400 base-stations across the metropolitan Bangkok area.
Due to the political and telecommunications regulatory environment this service may not be legal, which is a term that is flexible here. DTAC has positioned it as a part of their overall GSM concession which includes voice and data. I suspect it will stay in place although DTACs plans to expand the service across more regions (an additional 2,000 base-stations) is probably on-hold, if only due to equipment import issues?
The service is available to both pre-paid (Happy) customers, service can be layered on to any Happy pre-paid SIM
(Note: the first red box has unlimited plans for the month: 790, week: 299, and day: 49, the latter two perhaps options for visitors? The second box has monthly recurring volume-based plans. The 3rd red box has time-based plans.)
And post-paid (contract) subscribers.
Existing subscribers of unlimited 2G data plans get 3G now as part of their plan.
FWIW, I purchased a SIM for 49 baht (Im not even sure which promotional SIM I got, but be careful as they all have different calling/messaging plans. Although you can probably change that?)
I installed the SIM and automatically received an activation SMS.
Add enough money (top-up) via scratch cards, 7-11, ATM, etc. to cover your desired plan.
Then I subscribed to the 350 Baht/1 GB monthly plan by service message: *104*27# SEND
The service has been good for me. I like a provider like AIS/One-2-Call or DTAC/Happy as they have the best coverage for GSM voice and data (2G). True doesnt have quite the reach into some areas of Thailand in my limited experience.
If your smartphone supports 850 Mhz 3G and you spend a significant amount of time in the metro-Bangkok area then DTAC might a new option for you to consider?
Posted 2011-08-17 11:54:58
I should add:
I did also use the DTAC SIM in a D-Link DWM-156 USB Air-Card. 3G on 850 Mhz worked fine.
Posted 2011-08-21 07:19:54
For DTAC you might consider the current SIM promotion "Kong Kra Pun", http://www.happy.co....emid=37&lang=en
Available as a new SIM for 49 baht, or you can change an existing pre-paid SIM to this "plan" for 49 baht (can be done on-line using e-services). It has a flat rate 1 baht/min for voice calls 7/24 all networks and 1 baht/SMS. It needs to be activated by 31 August 2011 (not sure how strict they are on this as you see expired promotional SIMs for sale everywhere and those can be activated past their stated "activate by" date, IME), and it may end on 31 December 2011 (not sure how accommodating Happy is re: extending promotions?). You can layer a 3G data plan on top of this SIM/plan/promotion.
There will probably be some new similar promotion in September.

There is still no 3g coverage at Pattaya. Only Bang Saen and Koh Samet.
If you have like me subscribed in the past to the unlimited EDGE+ plan, you need to cancel it. To do so there is no simple code, you need to go through a voicemail service and type in the required numbers (choices) so that's how I did cancel my plan:
dial *300
Then press the following numbers each time the voice talks:
1 for english language
1 cancel plan
1 confirm cancel
Then after about 5 minutes you receive a SMS confirming your cancellation:
You have unsubscribed to your GPRS Package 799B Free EDGE/GPRS and Wifi UNLIMIT. If you want to subscribe again, please dial *138*79#
So now you can subscribe to the 3G/EDGE/Wifi plan by dialing this simple code:
*133*24# this is for the unlimited 3G (in fact limited to 3GB and then the speed drops to 384kbps) for 30 days at 799B
And then you'll receive a SMS confirming your subscription to the new plan.
Here are some other useful codes you can use at any time:
To know what plan you have, dial *139*3# and you'll receive a SMS with details of your current plan
Check your balance: dial *121# important since you need to have enough bahts credit in order to join the plan at 799B per month.
If you want to have your username/password for Wifi hotspots, dial *389# you'll receive your codes by SMS, your username is your phone number and your password is autogenerated it is only 4 numbers. Anytime you're at a restaurant or somewhere, look if you see 3BB hotspots on your phone, if you do then you can connect with the username/password provided, it's included in the plan.
Enjoy Edge :-)

Hi all,
I've been browsing this forum for a couple weeks and there's some great info. Thank you all. I am hoping for some info on what may be available for me in Surin Province in the near future. I have been working in Bang Saen for the past 3 years, with decent internet, either wireless or LANcable, but will be moving back to Prasat, Surin in Oct. I have a Dell laptop (4yrs.old) and would like to buy a Smartphone for internet access to my computer. There are no land lines in my village, so I'm looking for solutions to internet access at my house. 3 years ago I was using AIS thru my Nokia with a GPRS connect at about 4kb (Kb?). I could make a cup of coffee waiting for the next page to load
I see DTAC is working in my area, but AIS is spotty. I like the new Samsung Galaxy S2 and feel it would be a good fit for me but I'm on a budget, so I can't really afford a lot of investment in thing that won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated

While AIS have launched 3G in some locales including the Khorat area:
I think the best you may be able to will be GSM data (2G:GPRS/EDGE), so you may not need an expensive smartphone.
Do you currently have a GSM phone? Can you share the make/model? You may be able to use this to sample the various 2G offerings: True (which just added 2G to most base stations "in the northeast"), AIS/One-2-Call which claims "100% coverage for EDGE+", and DTAC which generally gets good 2G reviews and has 90+ national coverage.
Do you know anyone in this new location who is tech savvy you could speak with? Otherwise it may be best to go, talk to locals to see what they use/like, then try those to see what works best for you.
If your current handset does not support GPRS/EDGE then you could buy an Aircard (~1,500 baht) or even a used handset.
Bottom line: I would hold off on any expensive purchases until you can verify what's available. An Aircard may end up being the best available solution.

Thanks Lomatopo. I appreciate all the good advice you have on this Forum and have learnt quite a lot from the posts, lately. Reading thru the Forum, I see Afarang, Thaddeus and Muatremix are in Ban Kruat near Prasat. I will be Near Gan Thuat(sp.),Surin about 40-50km further East and they seem to know a bit about local phone/internet, so hopefully I will be able to hook up with them after I get there.
I need to buy a new phone, as mine is about 5 yrs old and many features don't work anymore. I am looking to buy a phone that I can use for several years and will be able to keep up with the spread of 2-4g and GPRS/EDGE. I want a touch screen phone and feel that Quad band will be necessary if I go to other counties. So, I'm looking but not buying until I find the right phone for me.
DTAC seems to have the best coverage in my village and there is a tower about 2-3km away. AIS is ok but I don't know if there are any other services like CAT, TOT or True. I don't know much about Aircards, so I will browse the Forum and go to the DTAC shop in Chonburi mall to see if I can get some answers.
Thank you, again and I will do some checking tomorrow. Cheers

Oops. I forgot about CAT CDMA. Sorry. There have been some reports that they are not taking on new customers, but they are committed to offering the service at least until December, 2012. They, now Real Move H, are supposed to transition to 3G, presumably 850 Mhz so not sure what that might mean for you going forward.
I use a D-Link DWM-156 Aircard, ~ 1,600 baht which supports 850/1900/2100 Mhz 3G and all GSM data bands (for GPRS/EDGE).
