Adults Therapists in Chapel Hill, NC
"I am a North Carolina licensed professional counselor. I have over 11 years of experience providing therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. I incorporate my training of mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and expressive therapy (art therapy) to help my clients in reducing anxiety and emotional distress, and thus improving understanding and self-awareness. I specialize in adolescent and adult psychotherapy, expressive therapy, eating disorders, depression, and anxiety/panic disorders. I have helped many parents improve their parenting skills and communication."
"With over 20 years of professional experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues and struggles with food, weight, body image, and disordered eating, I believe all mental health symptoms are there for reasons. Our work is to uncover those reasons and discover more effective means of caring for self. Exploring family dynamics, life experiences, personal beliefs, and both conscious and unconscious aspects of Self are all part of the therapeutic process. In therapy we work with the conscious and unconscious material which surfaces in the psychotherapy room as well as bringing attention to thought and behavior patterns, developing insights, and strategizing solutions."
"As a psychotherapist and licensed clinical social worker, I earned my MSW in Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work in Northampton, MA. My professional background includes training at Duke University, Duke University Medical Center, and my work with children, teens, adults and families through the NC community mental health system. I have served as field supervisor for MSW interns from the UNC School of Social Work and as clinical supervisor for Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associates. My focus includes anxiety, depression, grief and loss, managing stress and life transitions, relationship difficulties, and supporting greater awareness and functioning."
"My areas of specialty include life transitions and adjustment, trauma, ADHD, parenting support, behavioral concerns, relationship issues, anger, grief responses, depression, and anxiety. I structure sessions to be individually tailored to you while utilizing research-informed techniques. I use a systemic framework, and enjoy working with older children (8+), adolescents, and adults of all ages. I find that all life stories are full of resiliency and ambition, and it is my passion to support individuals, couples, and families to use those strengths to make positive changes."
"Doing psychotherapy is a lot like playing jazz: The challenge for me as therapist is to stay in tune with the patient's own creative, self-healing process and to provide a safe container ("rhythm section"). The patient's life narratives are the "melodies" to be composed, developed, & improvised. My ideal patient is motivated to show up and do the work involved in creating/healing and to allow the therapeutic relationship to support the work. My private practice (The Androgyny Center) serves adult patients of all genders. I also do consultations with families and professionals regarding developmental issues re gender and sexual orientation."
"I am a client centered therapist who values the universal need for a nonjudgmental supportive environment for which to work through life's challenges. In my work I enjoy utilizing photography and art making as therapeutic modalities with children,adolescents,adults and elders with a variety of issues. I am also a level II Focusing counselor. Focusing is a mind body based modality helpful in accepting and integrating all the parts of the self, empowering your ability to make authentic life changes. Both Focusing and art use in therapy are powerful methods for self cultivation and expression, allowing positive shifts in ones life."
Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516
"Are you looking for an experienced, warm, empathic therapist who specializes in womens' issues and relationships? By integrating a mindfulness approach to psychotherapy, I have been quite effective helping women of all ages improve relationships and the quality of their lives. My style is interactive and attuned to your needs. I provide a safe, confidential setting for you to express your concerns and to achieve your unique therapy goals."
Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27516
"I have over fifteen years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families facing many of life's challenges: age and cultural transitions; relationship issues; work, school, and creativity barriers; eating disorders; sexuality and sexual orientation; infertility; and parenting. I can help you explore and overcome barriers to feeling stuck, including mourning, anxiety, anger, and low motivation. I have worked in university settings, private hospitals, and private practice. Having lived abroad for years (UK, France, Russia), I also have a deep respect for the meaning of cultural identity for all of us."
"As a psychoanalyst, I work with persons seeking symptom relief, but also a wider understanding of their uniqueness and brokenness in all their body, emotion, brain, mind, culture and spirit complexity including recurring problematic relationships, internal conflicts ( inability to be alone, guilt) and deficits (lacking a sense of self or other). I am a graduate of the UNC-Duke Psychoanalytic Institute, certified by the American Psychoanalytic Association. I supervise psychiatry residents (UNC and Duke), teaching Neuroscience, Philosophy and Psychotherapy at Duke. Earlier, PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy (Virginia Tech); M.Div., Philosophy, Princeton Theological Seminary, BA University of Richmond."
"I am a licensed clinical addiction specialist associate located in Durham, North Carolina. My specialty allows me to work with individuals, couples and families experiencing a wide range of substance and behavioral addictions, along with other topics including trauma, depression, anxiety, spirituality, and identity. Over the past ten years I have had the privilege of working with teenagers, adults, and families in clinical and community-based settings. I take a strengths based approach and value joining you in discovering your own resilience, working through underlying difficulties, and teaching tangible skills for managing distressing symptoms."
"I provide evaluation, assessment, and counseling for individuals, couples, and groups addressing concerns with relationships and marriage, mood disorders (depression/mania), anxiety disorders, personality disorders, stress, trauma, communication, and personal growth. My specialized training and experience has also prepared me to work with artist's issues as well as philosophical/ethical concerns. Where appropriate, I collaborate with physicians, psychiatrists, and other providers to ensure the highest quality of care. I attempt to develop an empathic, understanding environment, characterized by equality and co-operation that may then facilitate the resolution of your concerns with my assistance. Please contact with any questions."
Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27517
"I love to help clients identify and break harmful patterns of behavior and work towards a healthier, more sustainable, balance that improves their lives. My style is compassionate, yet direct and transparent. I see problematic behaviors as coping mechanisms for underlying stressors/emotional experiences that need processing. I have extensive experience working with clients with eating disorders and addictions. As a former HS teacher, I enjoy working with young adults. I believe that relationships heal. In every case, I consider clients' contexts, which have great impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mindfulness practice is built-in to my approach."
"If you suffer from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, self-esteem problems, relationship issues, or stress management difficulties, I can help. PLEASE CONTACT ME BY PHONE (NOT E-MAIL) AT (919)493-0406. Offering both psychotherapy and medication management, I can provide all aspects of mental health care for most individuals. I help my patients learn to release shame and self-criticism so they can lead happier lives. I also see some clients of psychotherapists whom I trust for medication management. Together, we pick the approach that fits your needs and your time frame."
"Dan Chartier, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist- Health Service Provider, Raleigh, NC has been in private practice since 1983. As a psychotherapist, in addition to "talk therapy", Dr. Chartier uses psychophysiological methods of biofeedback and neurofeedback to facilitate mind-body healing. In his work, deepening awareness and release of non-productive behaviors is a primary process. By learning to enter neutral emotional space clients come to more clearly recognize options and choices that result in improved health. In addition to treating clients with psychological and emotional distress, Dr. Chartier works with patients coping with chronic pain or recovering from brain injury."

"Carolina Partners was established in 1994 with two offices; one in Henderson, NC and one in Chapel Hill, NC. In the last 22 years we've added 23 locations in NC and have become the largest private mental health practice in the area."
"Are you a generally healthy person, looking for guidance in how to live your life in the healthiest and happiest way? Whether your challenges are in the realm of finances, relationships, work satisfaction, anxiety, or depression, transpersonal counseling can help you! If you are looking for a therapist that can include your spiritual beliefs and include those in your treatment, and if you enjoy varied approaches to mental health and happiness such as art, yoga, and meditation, I might be the therapist for you!"
"Responsive, client centered services are my specialty. I want for you what I want for myself: flexibility, creativity, focused listening and care. Each of us is a hero/heroine on the journey of life, who is discovering how to make peace with our dragons. We all have a natural propensity to grow psychologically and emotionally over time. I have experience with many psychological issues including relationships, effective parenting, depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, grief, self esteem, coping with disability, chronic pain and illness, intellectual disabilities, trauma and psychosis. I enjoy working with couples interested in realigning and strengthening their relationships."
"My practice is devoted to the needs of people and families with Attention Deficit and Learning Disorders. I use a research based multidiciplainary approach designed to help individuals and families navigate the challenges of ADD and LD by using a case management approach. I offer long term relationships to my clients through psychotherapy, educational therapy, consultations and referrals in five areas of common concern; psychological, educational, life transitions, vocational and health. To create success, I help my clients develop skills to accept, define and understand the challenges associated with their particular disability and the effects it has on their life."
Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27517
"Good therapy does not come from a treatment manual. It arises out of an honest and trusting relationship with an experienced therapist who is authentic, listens well, and is curious. I've been a therapist for 25 years and still enjoy the challenge and gratification of getting to deeply know my clients. I believe that being understood and supported in therapy is crucial, but not enough. Real growth and change often require looking at uncomfortable parts of ourselves. I can help with that. I particularly enjoy doing therapy with therapists."
"First and foremost, I believe that the key to any successful treatment is a strong relationship between client and therapist. I strive to create an open and supportive space to work with this developing alliance. I am most experienced working with those with persistent depression and anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. In addition, as an Asian-American clinician, I am interested in working with cross-cultural communication, racial identity and cultural adjustment. While I work mainly with adults, I am also available to see children, adolescents and couples."

Imported from Italy, this stylish toothpaste makes brushing your teeth anything but routine. Both the Classic Mint and Whitening formulas keep your breath fresh while removing surface stains from your teeth. Plus, the apothecary-inspired tube dresses up the bathroom sink.
First of all, why I got a travel size tube of toothpaste in my birchbox in the first place is beyond me. I don't consider toothpaste a part of my "beauty routine." I am perfectly satisfied with the $3 tube of toothpaste I get from the drugstore, and this toothpaste sample didn't even leave my mouth feeling extra clean or anything special. Not worth spending extra money on.1

Study objectives: To assess the relevance of various efficacy end points established for thromboprophylaxis trials, we compared the results of the fondaparinux phase III program in major orthopedic surgery using the original primary efficacy end point with those obtained when the efficacy end points recently suggested by the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) Consensus Conference on Antithrombotic Therapy and the European Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP) were used.
Setting and patients: Fondaparinux was compared with enoxaparin in four multicenter, randomized, double-blind trials of major orthopedic surgery. The original primary efficacy end point consisted of a composite of deep-vein thrombosis detected by mandatory bilateral venography, documented symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism up to day 11. The efficacy end point established by the ACCP Consensus Conference on Antithrombotic Therapy comprises any proximal deep-vein thrombosis, symptomatic proven deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, or fatal pulmonary embolism, and that established by the European CPMP comprises any proximal deep-vein thrombosis, symptomatic proven pulmonary embolism, or death from any cause.
Interventions: Patients were randomized to receive either subcutaneous fondaparinux (2.5 mg once daily) starting postoperatively or approved enoxaparin regimens.
Results: Using the original end point of the fondaparinux studies, the incidence of venous thromboembolism was 13.7% (371 of 2,703 patients) in the enoxaparin group compared with 6.8% (182 of 2,682 patients) in the fondaparinux group, with a common odds reduction of 55.2% (p = 10−17; 95% confidence interval, 45.8% to 63.1%) in favor of fondaparinux. The respective incidences of efficacy end points with enoxaparin and fondaparinux were 3.3% and 1.7%, respectively, according to the ACCP definition, and 3.9% and 2.1%, respectively, according to the CPMP definition. The common odds reduction in favor of fondaparinux was 49.6% (p < 0.001) and 48.0% (p < 0.001), respectively.
Conclusions: Fondaparinux was consistently more effective than enoxaparin in preventing venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, irrespective of the established composite outcomes used.

Ripoff Report
Customer 1 Tire & Auto Care9811 Jog Rd, Boynton Beach, Florida United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On 08/08, I went to Customer 1 Tire & Auto Care (Goodyear Gemini Station). I bought a new battery (interstate) for my car. On 05/28/10, the battery leaked acid and failed. The service mgr, Dimitrios Limberopoulos, told me that he would replace the battery for a charge of $40.00 plus other charges of $25.97 for installation and parts. the total with tax was $71.86.
After paying the bill, a few days later, I called Interstate battery corporate office to inquire about this purchase. They told me that my defective battery should have been replaced at no charge.
I confronted the service mgr on 06/02/10. He, without apology, refunded $45.16. I caught this company in a ripoff scam. I will never use them again.
This report was posted on Ripoff Report on 06/08/2010 03:27 PM and is a permanent record located here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/customer-1-tire-auto-care/boynton-beach-florida-33437/customer-1-tire-auto-care-goodyear-gemini-automotive-repair-i-returned-a-defective-car-611741.

Guess where I'm drinking?
Lori Midson
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Vodka is not my friend. Nonetheless, I recently knocked back a few shots of the clear liquid, which had been infused with murderously spicy Fresno peppers, and mellowed by a plate of pickles. And much to my surprise, I didn't gag, puke, stumble or try to walk through a sliding glass door.
At which bar/restaurant was I reminded about my sordid past?
Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week's Where am I drinking/eating posts is entered into a pool -- and every Monday, we select one lucky winner who'll receive a DINR deck, worth up to $520 in discounts at independent restaurants.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
It should come as no surprise that Republican budget cutting fever focuses pretty heavily on programs for poor people. Republicans don't care much about poor people, after all, and Exhibit 1 is their preferred set of targets for cost cutting in the healthcare arena. Suzy Khimm reports on this, for example:
Leading Republicans in Washington and in the states have set their sights on the federal health care program for the poor, aiming to slash funding and roll back Medicaid, just as Democrats are preparing to expand it to millions more Americans...."I'm sure that's what [Republicans] are going to do," said Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La), "and they won't be the first group that, when first the sign of trouble appears, they want to gut programs for the sick, the elderly and the children."
Medicare is for old people, and old people vote Republican. Medicaid is for poor people, and poor people don't vote Republican. So naturally Medicaid is in the crosshairs. And Jon Cohn has this:
Republicans are also proposing a more immediate reduction in spending [...] for the health clinics known as "federally qualified community health centers." And it's a change that would take effect in the very near future, since it's part of the House Republican proposal for financing government operations through the end of this fiscal year....How big is the cut? On paper, House Republicans propose to reduce clinic funding from current levels by $1 billion, or roughly a third of their total federal funding.
....Well, but maybe this program has a lot of waste in it? I don't think so. Having visited literally dozens of these clinics around the country, I can tell you that the people who run these clinics not only do the lord's work. They also do it efficiently. Precisely because the need for their services always exceeds the resources at their disposals, they know how to squeeze the most health care value out of every dollar, all while providing the kind of support services that their low-income communities need.
....If the case for funding these clinics seems a bit too bleeding heart for your sensibilities, consider that uninsured people who don't get primary care tend to end up in the emergency room, contributing to overcrowding and generating bills that hospitals eventually pass onto everybody else. That's one reason community clinics have traditionally enjoyed bipartisan support. In fact, it was the one health care program for low-income Americans that the Bush Administration endorsed consistently and enthusiastically, with dollars as well as words: "This is a really good use of taxpayers' money," Bush said at one point. "It makes a lot of sense to have Community Health Centers so that we can cut down on unnecessary visits to the emergency rooms. Health centers help lower the cost of health care for everyone."
This is, of course, a classic case of going after weak claimants rather than weak claims. After all, both Medicaid and community health centers serve a population that needs health services desperately and they do it more cheaply than any other healthcare program you can name. There's really no excuse for trying to cut either one, and there's certainly no excuse while low-hanging fruit like crop subsidies and giveaways to oil and gas firms are still on the books.

Oh, this is the blog post I would have liked to have written about LinkedIn if I had time and the attention span. Glen, who usually writes a blog about recruiting for recruiters, shares some of those recruiter best practices from LinkedIn that you can use in your job search.
If you are currently looking for employment, don't be overwhelmed by the volume of information that is provided in this post. Just schedule a couple of hours every day, log on to LinkedIn and start at the beginning. You'll not only find the "hey, we are hiring for this job!" stuff but also the "how the heck did you find me and of course I will help you network!" stuff.
A well written post. Filed under: Awesome stuff that has been sitting in my blog reader for way too long.

10 New Ways to Eat Well
1 of 23
The boring, old rules of healthy eating are landing on the scrap heap as new research uncovers the intricate ways nutrients work within our bodies. The result? Some surprising shifts in what should really be on our plates and more food flexibility and fun as well. Here are 10 things you might not have known about eating well:
2 of 23HealthDid You Know?One can of soda a day may increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 18 percent.
3 of 23
Trans fat is out, but good fats are in
"'Fat-free' used to mean healthy, but now we know that's totally wrong" said Minh-Hai Tran, a registered dietitian in private practice in Seattle.
While certain lipids, such as trans fats , are still known to be bad for us (and probably always will be), it's not a good idea to lump all fats together into one group, Tran said. Numerous studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and fish oil supplements promote heart and brain health, and a 2009 study in the journal BMC Cancer found they also lower the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women.
Omega-3s, which also have been found to improve conditions such as arthritis, high cholesterol and attention disorders, are found in many grains, seeds and nuts as well.
4 of 23HealthDid You Know?The adult human skeleton has 206 bones. The smallest? A tiny bone in the middle ear called the stapes.
5 of 23
A yolk a day may keep the doctor away
Forget the egg-white omelet and egg substitute: the healthiest part of the egg may be the yolk. Growing research indicates that the nutrient choline, which is similar to a B vitamin, is deficient in many adults and more important than once thought, Tran said.
Egg yolks are one of the richest sources of choline, along with butter (surprise!), peanuts, soybeans and oats. Choline is an essential part of most cell membranes, particularly in brain cells, Tran said.
6 of 23HealthDid You Know?Humans can fart up to half a gallon's worth of gas each day.
7 of 23
Celebrate culture of all kinds
More ethnic foods than ever before can be found in U.S. restaurants and markets, and eating them does more than expand your palate. Eating fermented or cultured foods such as kefir (a Turkish milk drink), tamari (a dark, smoky Japanese soy sauce), kimchi (a Korean vegetable dish) and miso (a thick Japanese condiment) promotes the growth of healthful bacteria in our intestines, said Laura Knoff, a licensed nutritionist in Oakland, Calif.
"Look for the words 'raw' or 'contains live cultures' on labels," said Knoff, who's written two nutrition-related books. Also known as probiotics , these bacteria can enhance protein and mineral absorption and improve conditions such as constipation, colitis and heartburn.
8 of 23HealthDid You Know?Severe depression may cause a person to biologically age faster than others.
9 of 23
Hungry or thirsty? That is the question
Many people confuse hunger and thirst, deciding to eat when they really just needed some plain old H2O, said Sharon Richter, a registered dietitian in private practice in New York City.
"Eating is an automatic go-to, while drinking is perceived as boring," Richter said. "If you think you're hungry, have a glass of water and wait 20 minutes. If you're still hungry, then eat."
10 of 23HealthDid You Know?More than 4 million Americans suffer from frequent constipation.
11 of 23
Behold the mighty potato
Once reviled for their high carbohydrate content, potatoes are now being appreciated for their many health benefits, including their ability to lower blood pressure. A 2010 report by the American Dietetic Association found that potatoes' high potassium levels can lower blood pressure by prompting the kidneys to excrete excess sodium from the body.
More than 55 percent of Americans either have high blood pressure or are close to having it, according to the association, and the condition significantly increases the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Other potassium-rich foods include white beans, orange juice and plain yogurt.
12 of 23HealthDid You Know?Men with longer legs have a 42 percent higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than shorter-legged guys.
13 of 23
Cinnamon does more than spice up your muffins
This sweet spice, used most often to pep up pancakes, toast, oatmeal or buns, has a long and storied history that includes being used in the ancient Egyptians' embalming process. But it may also do more than make our food taste better.
A 2003 study in the journal Diabetes Care of five dozen people with Type 2 diabetes showed that the daily addition of cinnamon to their diet lowered blood sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride levels after 40 days.
14 of 23HealthDid You Know?A scientist cracked his knuckles on his left hand at least twice a day for 50 years to prove it does not cause arthritis.
15 of 23
Losing weight requires a lifestyle change, not dieting
Many overweight people may have been better off if they had never dieted at all. A 2007 study in the journal American Psychologist showed that after two to five years, the majority of dieters in 31 separate, long-term diet studies who initially lost 5 to 10 percent of their body weight regained all the weight and then some.
"Something about restricting food creates an unhealthy food preoccupation," Tran said. "Eating right needs to be a lifestyle, not a diet, and not distract you from your own healthy internal cues."
16 of 23HealthDid You Know?A rare sleep disorder in which people act out their dreams, sometimes violently, may be an early sign of a brain disorder.
17 of 23
Eating a healthy breakfast helps you eat better all day long
Of nearly 3,000 people who maintained a 30-pound (or more) weight loss for at least a year, 78 percent reported eating breakfast every day, according to 2002 study in the journal Obesity Research. The findings suggest this simple measure is an important weight loss and maintenance tactic, the researchers wrote.
"Breakfast does help jump-start the metabolism, and those who eat it tend to eat a little less throughout the day," Tran said. "Skipping meals leads to excess hunger, and any time your hunger reaches ravenous levels, you're more vulnerable to overeating."
18 of 23HealthDid You Know?People with higher levels of education may be more likely to develop certain types of brain tumors.
19 of 23
Raise a glass for a smaller waist
Moderate drinkers who average one or two alcoholic beverages per day have narrower waists and less belly fat, Tran said. This could be due to the fact that drinking alcohol temporarily speeds the metabolism.
However "there's definitely a fine line," she said. "Drink too much alcohol and hunger increases and food inhibitions drop along with your blood sugar."
20 of 23HealthDid You Know?Psychopaths have a poor sense of smell, according to a 2012 study.
21 of 23
Some supplements may be worth their weight
For two nutrients, mounting evidence has shown that taking supplements may be beneficial: vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids.
For example, a 2003 study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that more than half of 93 Hawaiian surfers were deficient in vitamin D. If those who live and play in sunshine a key to the body's production of vitamin D are deficient, then the common recommendation to allow sun exposure to the hands and face for 15 minutes may not ensure vitamin D sufficiency for the rest of us, the researchers wrote.
The National Institutes of Health has also warned that many Americans cannot produce as much as needed from the sun exposure alone.
And very few foods contain vitamin D, which is crucial to bone health and immune function. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends adults get at least 400 IU of vitamin D each day, with the help of supplements if necessary. [Related: 9 Good Sources of Vitamin D]
Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid also found in relatively few foods. Among its many health benefits, omega-3s promote brain function and help prevent heart disease by decreasing the amount of inflammation produced in the body.
The American Heart Association recommends eating fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines and herring at least twice a week, as well as taking fish oil supplements.
22 of 23HealthDid You Know?Drinking very hot beverages may increase your risk of developing cancer.

Lawmakers allowed bank consolidation and market power in violation of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994. That act specified that no single bank may hold more than 10 percent of total retail deposits. Unfortunately, since 1994 two limitations of Riegle- Neal became clear, (1) the growth of big banks was not fueled by retail deposits but rather by various forms of "wholesale" financing, and (2) the cap was not enforced by lax regulators, so that Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo all received waivers in recent years.
Then Congress had to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, so that any financial institution can act as an investment bank, a commercial bank, and/or an insurance company. They hid this as the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.
To capitalize on insatiable greed, banks started marketing OTC derivatives (a.k.a. as swaps). For swaps, delivery places and dates, volume, technical specifications, and trading and credit procedures are subject to negotiation by the parties to the contracts. Swaps are traded on a bilateral basis not on a public exchange. The exposure is to default by the counterparty. Credit risk mitigation measures, such as regular mark-to-market and margining, are optional for swaps. Swaps have no regulatory oversight, they are simply goverened by the contractual relations between the parties.
Here is the takeaway: OTC derivatives grew to an estimated size of about $596 trillion before crashing in Sept. 2008. By contrast, the value of the world's financial assets—including all stock, bonds, and bank deposits—was pegged at $167 trillion in 2007.

Hi Martin, Just wanted to say
Hi Martin, Just wanted to say a great new feature!
Yes! Apart from the stars...
Yes! Apart from the stars...
I think perhaps the
I think perhaps the suggestion below would be good (a star with a number). After all i for one only discovered the quiz because i saw people with them and wondered what they were!
The other thing i think it's important to remember is the primary purpose is to engage and encourage learning, a quiz for fun is different to a competitive ranking (although i would agree it is a fine line!).
iRecord plays the competitive numbers game well enough (if that's what you like) and i would like to see iSpot remain a place for people to learn and encourage each other.
It is difficult to stretch the same features to cover both learners and experts, though i am sure the higher levels may be refined over time.
Perhaps also it would be better to have a separate 'expert' level game that could be set and managed by the expert community themselves?
Has Potential
Hi Martin I do think this has potential but I also think it is very much a work in progress.
The stars – well enough has been said about these in the several threads that have sprung up regarding the quiz!
I have only had a go at the birds section so can't comment on others but I have noticed the same species (Blue Tits seem quite popular) occurring in the same set of questions. I suspect the individual questions are randomly generated by an algorithm; this is always an inherent problem, one reason why I'm not a great fan of this method.
They are way too easy from the 'challenging' onwards. Great for the novice but hardly a challenge beyond that.
The only real way to get a good quiz is to have a human setter. This ensures there are no repeats, the pictures used are of suitable quality (and actually show the species they purport to) and that they can be tailored to a suitable degree to interest participants at all levels. An example of the sort of difficulty to keep the experts happy can be found here www.ispot.org.uk/node/243487, one of an excellent series (and there have been more than one) posted as a fun quiz by Ophrys. Merely removing the lifelines does not make a quiz harder.
Suddenly tonight I lost all my stars. Of course, I had five in every single area; put them back please!
Seriously though, they have gone, my few. I'm only very good with birds (isn't everyone?) failed dismally in inverts, where I am close to getting my fourth icon (I think).
But I don't like the idea of a series of bright stars against names - icons are enough. Why not one star with a small number inside?
I also feel it should be a little harder, well quite a lot harder and I think you should forget being encouraging.
Oh, I did get five in birds without going to expert level.
Hang on, they're back! How could this happen? And now I've got SIX in birds. For goodness' sake what is the maximum?
ð ★★★★★★★★
The quiz stars have now been removed.

The quiz stars have now been removed.
We may bring them back in much modified form at a later date, but for now you can enjoy the quiz in darkness and anonymity. ;-)

Just as well perhaps :)
13 August 2013 - 12:59pm mattprince1969
The 'difficulty' level of the invertebrate one is very random ~ had an easy one that was all moths (of which I'm useless) then a challenging one which through up some easy stuff.
Also fairly easy to cheat, of course...
Hi, I've just discovered the
19 August 2013 - 8:32pm Ambroise
Hi, I've just discovered the quizzes, that's a great idea! I've done a few for plants - I like botany - but I am disappointed that there were no bryophytes! Was it just bad luck or are there really no bryophyte questions? It would be a shame to disregard such a beautiful, facinating and diverse group of plant. Thinking about it, there were no algae neither.
Thanks for the feedback. We
19 August 2013 - 10:36pm Jonathan
Thanks for the feedback. We don't have a lot of bryophytes in iSpot, but as we accumulate more, the quiz will automatically include them. So observe more mosses & liverworts! And encourage others to do so too. The names need to get agreement to become a likely ID before they can be used in a quiz.
University of Edinburgh and Biodiversity Observatory (OU)
The fact that the names need
20 August 2013 - 7:37pm Ambroise
The fact that the names need agreement may be an obstacle for bryophytes to reach the quiz becasue, I have noticed, there aren't many people having the ID skill for bryophytes. So it is already very good for a moss ID to get 2 agreements - maybe this should be taken into account to facilitate more bryophytes to enter the quiz. More bryophytes in the quiz would mean more people likely to get interested in them and maybe more posts?
Thanks for getting back to me anyway! I really like the ispot concept!
26 August 2013 - 11:07pm landgirl
I would love to love the quiz, but am finding it so irritating that I will have to leave it alone. If I try to enlarge the picture, I have time to go and make a cup of tea before it loads. There's no option to enlarge further. Some of the photos are ambiguous, some very poor, some almost impossible to make out relevant features. If you type in the name correctly and submit it without waiting the tedious time for it to appear on the drop-down list, it's marked as wrong. And numbers 9 and 10 are often identical (plants, expert level). Great idea, but doesn't work well for me. Please take it away and fix it before putting it back for us to enjoy!
Actually, you can help us
28 August 2013 - 2:38pm Jonathan
Actually, you can help us improve the quiz by querying the questions that do not work. Just hit return without entering an answer and there is a text box where you can tell us what is wrong. If three different people query the same question, it will be removed.
Re load speeds, this should be no different from the rest of iSpot, so I am not sure what the problem is there.
University of Edinburgh and Biodiversity Observatory (OU)
There in lies the rub
29 August 2013 - 6:24pm mattprince1969
The only real criticism that can be levelled at i-spot is the generally slow speed of response, and as its a free-to-use site its a moot point anyway!
Manual or automated
29 August 2013 - 7:19pm lavateraguy
That we are asked to describe what's wrong with a question suggests that it's being evaluated by a human; that three people querying a question gets it removed suggests that it's automated.
Anyway, a couple of other points
1) When disputing a answer, it would be handy if there was a means of going directly to the observation, so would go look closer, and add an alternative agreement or identification if appropriate. (I've just trawled though 205 records involving in some sense Cirsium arvense - without success.)
2) On a quiz Q4 was Frullania dilatata; as I couldn't identify I gave a blank answer. The quiz said the correct answer was Cirsium arvense (Q5) and then skipped Q5. I think what may have happened here may have been key-bounce - the return key being answered twice. But the quiz should at least have displayed Q5.
Thanks, everybody for your

And incidentally, we are working on getting iSpot to work faster. If anyone can spare a few more hamsters for the treadmill, that would help. ;-)

3 Wrong Answers
In the same quiz (mammals, advanced) it gave me 3 phoney answers. There was a picture of a Grey Squirrel and it said it was a Roe Deer. Then there was a picture of a Grey squirrel and it said it was a Hedgehog. Then there was a picture of a Badger sett and it said it was a Grey seal. Last of all, there were only 9 questions! Have I done anything wrong?

25 April 2014 - 5:41pm Chalkie
Just discovered the quizzes and thought I'd have a go at the 'easy' plants one, instead of diving straight into the 'hard' ones.
The first two questions only had non-native plants that I'd never heard of (even as garden plants - I'm pretty keen on gardening too), which was a bit of a shock. Maybe good for my soul though - I'm a bit too used to expecting to recognise most plants easily! I gave up after getting three wrong consecutively.
But I'm not sure how it could encourage beginners to UK plant identification. Perhaps they were Chilean plants? (I see ispot is now active in Chile too.) Not quite what I'd expected!

I've just checked it out and there don't seem to be any problems at the Easy level. I wonder if you are using the Global community instead of UK and Ireland?
25 April 2014 - 5:55pm Chalkie
You are quite right! No wonder they were tricky - though once I'd figured out how it worked (same things coming back in later questions) I did much better.
But some very weird names: 'venuscup teasel' for Dipsacus fullonum, and 'morning-glory' for bindweed. Set my teeth on edge, provincial little me!
Thanks. I shall go back and try again. :) (I really ought to be doing something much more useful!)
Yes, different database.

I find the quizzes frustrating because they are so slow, it takes ages if you try to enlarge an image. Good luck!
25 April 2014 - 6:29pm Chalkie
Did much better, though trying to identify alder from an out-of-focus photograph of a shire horse was an interesting challenge! It did make me think a bit harder about identifying some things that I might have otherwise jumped to (wrong) conclusions about.
The best one though, was on 'easy' birds: first question was a picture of a robin. Choice of answers did not include robin. Apparently it was a cuckoo. I took a screen shot as evidence that I didn't imagine it. Hmm. Made me laugh though, and I was very pleased to get both twite and linnet right.
It's not all that slow on my computer, so maybe it's your internet connection, rather than the site that slows it down?
More specific quiz
6 April 2015 - 9:02pm miked
It would be useful to include projects as an option in creating a quiz. For example if you want to create a quiz on New Zealand plants you could select the New Zealand plants project as a criteria. This would allow the quizzes to be even more flexible and useful for teaching.
That would be cool
But if they cannot even get the southern African quiz working after two years, I dont think that you have a hope in hell ...
"Oops - we couldn't create a quiz with these criteria. Perhaps there aren't enough suitable observations and identifications." - when 180 000 observations are not enough, then you have to wonder ...
I guessed you would say this,
9 April 2015 - 1:16pm miked
I guessed you would say this, however there might be a remote chance that going down the projects route might be a way of getting the SA and indeed any other area/project quiz to work. Technically it might or might not be easier than what was required to get the SA quiz working in the way they were previously approaching it.
Of course I would!!
But if you think that there is a hope in hades of this approach working, then can I please request another wrinkle, that might also be "just as easy" (I am taking careful note of the "remote chance' and "might or might not").
Instead of having to choose the group, why can we not choose a taxon.
For instance, why not follow the same philosophy as the surfer:
species (rather pointless, but on principle am using it)
For instance above I might want to specialise on the order, or family, or subgenus, or might just be in the mood to get to grips with the subgenus.
In a quiz it would be really cool!!
I agree
It would be cool!
My Blog
Longworth Traps or The Bryophyte Club!
NBN awards 15 winner.
What would be really cool
What would be really cool, is linking the quiz to a project.
So I could make any project and anyone could run a quiz on it.
- e.g.
* for some region : schools of the southern suburbs and then the local schools could contribute to the project and take a quiz on the species found in their area.
* for some taxonomic group in an area : birds of the garden route
It could even be used professionally:
* spoor of mammals (project: tag = Spoor & Signs; group = mammals) of the Kruger Park. Use the quiz to test your proficiency. (and the project to run the course).
* alien plant ID (project: tag = Alien). There is much need for a course on this!!
* caterpillars of crops.
* customs plant ID at border posts (project: tag = collected & collected medicinally; group = plants).
or just fun
* can you ID sploshed animals? (project: tag = roadkill) - a fun way to create awareness!
I see the lichen portal has a simple flashcard quiz. http://lichenportal.org/portal/games/flashcards.php?clid=1162&dynclid=0&... - perhaps iSpot is trying to be too fancy?
when will the quiz work for southern Africa
Still the quiz states:
Oops - we couldn't create a quiz with these criteria. Perhaps there aren't enough suitable observations and identifications.
We only have 200 000 observations, 90% identified with a LIkely_ID, so how many do we need to get the quiz to work.
But perhaps after TWO YEARS WITH QUIZZES NOT WORKING we should not complain too much, after all they do work in the UK. And who cares about the other communities?
Working now - sort of.
Working now - sort of. Please log any southern african issues with quizzes at ::

We all enjoy learning new tricks in legal writing, which is riddled with obscurities and sometimes even arcane absurdities. One in particular we'll discuss here is "§," the section symbol.
What Does the Section Symbol Mean?
The section symbol "§" is a typographical character often used to refer to a particular section of a statute and regulation. The section symbol "§" means simply "section" and the plural "§§" denotes "sections" when referring to two or more sections in a statute (e.g. "In 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981-1983 Congress established…"). It's important for paralegals to know how to use it.
How to Insert the Section Symbol into Documents
Beginning legal writers may question how to insert the section symbol in legal documents. Several options are available when it comes to inserting the section symbol in a document. One method is to simply copy and paste the section from another document or a website. Legal writers can also use the insert special characters feature on Microsoft Word. (See the graphic here.)
On the Insert tab, in the Symbols group, click:
- "Symbol" and then select "More Symbols"
- Then, click the "Special characters" tab
- Then, click on the section symbol and click "Insert"
A last resort option is to simply write out "section" "sec." or "s" in lieu of the section symbol, but most citation styles, including the Bluebook, require the section symbol. When using the section symbol in a statutory citation, insert a space both before and after the section symbol (§).

To illustrate just how ridiculous that is, I placed my left thumb on top of the mirror, and then positioned it to reflect the fingers on my other hand while I snapped the photo. This is INSANE, no?
I avoided these kinds of mirrors even before I started this project and advise you to do the same unless you actually enjoy seeing all the way down to the bottom of your pores (not recommended. it's impossible. they're all full of gunk. how do you think Biore makes so much $$ with those nose strip thingys?).
Oh, and FYI, I've determined that it is not cheating for me to see my hands reflected in a mirror since I can look at them whenever I want to anyway. Capisci?

Governing Equine Competition
- May 1, 2004
- Topics:
As the National Governing Body for equestrian sport, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF, formerly U.S.A. Equestrian) takes seriously the importance of providing a fair and level playing field for all competitors. This mission is a large and important one. Administering the rules and regulations requires not only the work of the Federation's employees, but it also requires assistance from licensed officials, members, and competition organizers. Violations and penalties are never a good thing, especially considering that "sportsmanship" and "playing by the rules" should be at the heart of any sport. Some administrative bodies tend to be invisible, but the Federation wants to be visible in making sure the rules and processes for their enforcement are accessible to all who may be impacted by them.
Important to remember is the USEF has special responsibilities and must meet a long list of stringent requirements in enforcing rules and ensuring discipline, as it is governed by the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act. Fairness in ensuring this list of criteria is paramount.
Protests or charges can be brought against anyone who allegedly breaks "the equestrian law." And recognized competitions are expected to enforce the wide array of rules, regulations, and restrictions that make up that ideal level playing field. Dedicated to ensure this, one way that USEF issues sanctions is after hearings are conducted by the Federation's Hearing Committee.
Responding to the charges of a violation, and any possible penalty or fine, is something that every member of USEF needs to understand. And while no one enjoys the process, it is critical to respond promptly and educate yourself about the process. The Federation's Rules Compliance Department can be contacted to answer questions about the process and any timelines for response.
Knowing the rules of whatever equestrian sport you participate in--whether as an athlete, owner, trainer, or show management--can only serve to assist in preventing bad news from coming your way. Although USEF employees cannot give advice or interpretations of the rules, the specialized departments can direct individuals where to go to find the rules within their area of expertise, and there are plenty of other avenues for gaining knowledge about the rules. Knowledge is power. And should you receive notice of a violation, you will be better able to maneuver the process.
In an upcoming issue of EQUESTRIAN magazine, an in-depth look at the Hearing Process will be featured to assist in educating the Federation's membership on the topic.
When the laboratory detects a forbidden substance in a sample, members can feel confident in the science and process by which the results are found in the Federation's state-of-the-art facility, which has been in operation since 1995. The laboratory, located near Ithaca, N.Y., has been hailed as a leader across the board in its procedures and scope of testing. In 2003, the facility was expanded to serve the needs of the membership even more efficiently. The 5,000-square-foot lab tests 11,000 blood and urine samples annually, each of them including screens for steroids, corticosteroids, over 90 individual enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests, as well as quantifying six non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug levels per sample. The USEF lab performs far more testing on each sample than any other equine drug testing laboratory known to exist, and could detect in excess of 500 different drugs.
The USEF Drugs and Medications Program provides split samples and allows second testing. With the general membership's increased number of requests to administrators for continued and enhanced programs, USEF is committed to provide it. And the membership is benefiting from their dollars earmarked for medication fees.
Should any member have questions regarding the program or any of the related rules or regulations, they are invited to contact the office at 800/633-2472 or via e-mail at email@example.com.
In response to the specific claim that the old adage, "innocent until proven guilty," is turned on its head by the absolute insurer laws, the general idea is correct ("Breaking the Rules" on page 129). The trainer responsibility rules do shift the burden of proof, in that the trainer, as the person with care, custody, and control of the horse, is presumed responsible for what is found in the horse's body. Their signature on the entry blank is acknowledgment of that very fact.
Of course, drug and/or medication allegations aren't the only areas in which charges can be issued. The Federation's Hearing Committee hears a myriad of other allegations involving such issues as abuse, unsportsmanlike conduct, and falsification of documents, to name a few. Should any member have any questions regarding the Rule Book or the hearing process, they are encouraged to contact the Federation to get the answers to their questions.

The Bektashi dervishes were associated with 17. There were 17 Bektashi saints who stood as the patrons of 17 of the great trade guilds of the Ottoman empire, while Ali ibn Abi Talib, their most important teacher, had 17 companion disciples and offered 17 sets of prayers three times a day.
The Bektashi smoothed over many of the differences between the Sunni and Shia schism within their own closely guarded belief structures, as well as delighting in numerology and absorbing various Turkic and Anatolian spiritual traditions. One of the oddest of these was the seventeenfold sacrifice to the guardian spirit of Mount Ararat, where Noah's Ark was believed to have anchored. The flood was traditionally believed to have started on the 17th day of the second month and ended on the 17th day of the seventh month.

By Simmons Yussif Kewura
120 Health Extension Workers (HEW) under the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) have been inducted into office at Kodie, the capital of the Afigya-Kwabre District of the Ashanti Region.
The health workers, drawn from the two constituencies of the district, Kwabre West and Afigya, according to the Regional Coordinator of the NYEP, Mr. Omar Ibrahim Nyamiye, would have two months theory and four months practical training to adequately prepare them for their designated roles at the various health facilities in the district.
According to the Regional Coordinator, all the districts in the Ashanti Region had inducted theirs, and it was only the Afigya-Kwabre that had delayed, because of problems.
He charged the workers to be of good behaviour, since the sector they were preparing to enter needed people with discipline and good character.
Mr. Omar told the health workers that they would be made to abide by the code of ethics of the health profession, and for that matter, they must from today, begin to learn how to adopt the health workers code of ethics.
He told them that they were going to be trained by staff of the Ghana Health Service, which would definitely demand that they adjust to the new environment they were going to find themselves in.
Mr. Omar said the health sector was so pure that if any of them with obnoxious character, would not fit into the profession, adding, "You must learn all aspects of the health profession to help sustain in the work."
The Ashanti Regional Coordinator advised the workers to avoid political affiliations, and prepare towards serving the country, adding, "the NDC government is not interested in recruiting only NDC members for jobs under NYEP, but only looking for hardworking Ghanaians."
He urged them to make a mark for themselves, but not to collapse the programme.
The Afigya-Kwabre District Coordinator, Mr. Seth Atanga, on his part, urged them to cooperate with their trainers, adding that being late for training would not be tolerated.
The Afigya-Kwabre District Director of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Mr. Thomas Tawiah Abbey, inaugurating the health workers, told them that they were not going to be only in the wards, but some of them would be serving on the field.
According to the Director, they would be given the necessary information regarding their work as health extension officers, with a general training in the health sector.
He disclosed that the district had about ten health facilities, with only one district hospital at Ankaasase, and two private hospitals at Mowire and Afrancho.
Mr. Abbey revealed that the district was also putting up two CHPS compounds in the district, where some of them may be asked to serve.

Part 14 - New HavenMature
Captain Wilkes briskly paced through the hallways of Camp New Heaven. Three soldiers snapped her salutes as she passed, but she didn't meet their gaze or even bother returning their salutes. She was nervous.
She should feel safe here, she knew. Camp New Heaven sat on a flat plateau, deep within the ruins of Agra. Outside, there were machine gun turrets for point defense with overlapping fields of fire.
Radar satellites fed data to a battery of automated ATLAS-II surface-to-air missile platforms. A dozen Locust single-man assault helicopters circled the airspace in over watch.
In the barracks was a whole battalion of soldiers within spitting distance to a fully stocked armory. Not a single hostile unit could reach New Heaven without being identified, targeted, then subsequently destroyed.
And yet, cold ice still ran through her bowels. Her eyes darted from shadow to shadow as she paced to the briefing room. She brushed her left hand for the pistol at her hip, just to make certain that it was still there.
This apprehension started one week ago, when they lost all contact with the New Delhi orbital defense platform. Up until then, the Admiral sent a steady flow of supplies to construct Camp New Heaven.
She passed a vacuum seal door to the briefing room. Beyond, a panel of team leaders, logistic specialist and analysts were engaged in heated debate on a central round table.
Captain Wilkes gave a half salute and settled into her seat. Around her, the panel closely watched her, waiting for her to confirm their fears that something was indeed happening to the plague.
"I'd congratulate each of you for making New Heaven a success, but time is short and you'll forgive me for skipping the formalities." She turned to a guard by the entrance. "Lights please."
The briefing room dimmed. The round table's central holographic projector warmed and displayed snap shot views of India. Each picture was shown on a timeline from before their crash landing to now.
Captain Wilkes highlighted the first slide. "The red dots represent infestations of Acolytes. Before we arrived here, they were scattered across India with no discernible cohesion."
She advanced to the day they arrived. "Here, you can see the Acolytes distributed in one area in northern India. At first, I suspected these were on their way to stop Unit 03 at the space elevator."
She brought up the recording from Unit 03's fight with the Cyclops. "This biped appeared at the space elevator and engaged Unit 03. The threat was neutralized and recorded for in depth analysis by the home fleet."
She tabbed forward. The last two slides faded, the third lit brightly, and dozens of new slides appeared after that one.
Blue dots appeared on the highlighted slide.
"The blue dots represent Lotas packs. These were scattered across the skies of India until the week Unit 03 drove into the city of Agra with two soldiers. Moments after a landing zone was secured, this is what happened."
Captain Wilkes played the footage from Unit 03's encounter with the dragon. She fast forwarded, showing a first person view of Unit 03's fist buried into the dragon's neck.
"The Lotas gathered at one spot in southern India, on an island called Sri Lanka, a week before this apparent Dragon appeared. I believe that the biped and the Dragon are each evolved forms of the Acolyte and Lotas strain."
"I believe the pre-evolved forms gather to protect a hatchery for the evolved forms, suggesting a coordinating intelligence is now at play."
She tabbed to the final slide, an aerial view of Sri Lanka swarmed with hundreds of red and blue dots. Some of the red dots were in the ocean. There was an "island of calm" at the center of this infestation.
"I believe this spot is another hatchery for another evolved form, quite possibly for the Locrix strain. The home fleet should be arriving soon, but until then my claims can't be verified by a battle processor AI."
"Jesus," a starship officer muttered. "Our boats can barely stand a fight with the Locrix the way they are now. We'd need damn magical powers to fight their evolved forms."
"He's right," air force Lieutenant Commander Harding said. Captain Wilkes especially paid attention to him. He sat with elbows propped against the table, fingers laced over his lips.
Despite his stout frame, the man had a deadly calm about him. Captain Wilkes had heard of Lieutenant Commander Harding during The Intifada rebellion.
Upon realizing his jet fighters were outmatched during The Battle of New Tokyo, Lieutenant Commander Harding allegedly wrestled his advisors out of the way, marched into the hangars and took to the skies himself.
The reason he hadn't been busted down to Sergeant was because his surprise attack destroyed near all the rebel fighters. He was as tough a soldier as he was an officer, and although his methods were...lacking a certain finesse, Captain Wilkes admired that.
"We have to shut down the Sri Lanka site right now," Harding insisted. I'll arrange for one of my Halberd interceptors to run over the site, drop a SCARAB-II nuke from low orbit--"
"That may not work," Ein Roskva countered. "These apparent dragons may well destroy the bomb, along with your Halberd interceptor, before either get near the Sri Lanka airspace. It's too risky."
Lieutenant Commander Harding listened, considered.
Captain Wilkes feared he might very well take a Halberd interceptor himself. She was about to suggest sending in Unit 03 instead when suddenly, a navy Private First Class pushed through the conference room's doors.
He leaned forward, hands thrown to knees, catching his breath. He could not find the words between the terror and his own fatigue, and then finally spoke: "The outer guard perimeter is under attack!"

NOXA1 encodes a protein which activates NADPH oxidases, enzymes which catalyze a reaction generating reactive oxygen species. Additionally we are shipping NOXA1 Antibodies (35) and NOXA1 Proteins (5) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 3 out of 3 products:
A NOXA1 peptide blocked NOXA1-Nox1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits) binding. The finding identifies a NOXA1-activating domain and an isoform-specific Nox1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits) inhibitor.
Phosphorylation of Thr341 allows Noxo1 (show NOXO1 ELISA Kits) to sufficiently interact with Noxa1, an interaction that participates in Nox1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits) activation
Noxa1 has quite different kinetic properties from p67(phox (show NCF2 ELISA Kits)) and suggest that Noxa1 may function as a moderate activator of Nox2 (show CYBB ELISA Kits).
Tks4 (show SH3PXD2B ELISA Kits) and Tks5 directly bind to NoxA1. The integrity of the N-terminal PRR (show PVRL1 ELISA Kits) of NoxA1 is essential for this direct interaction with the Tks (show PTK6 ELISA Kits) proteins.
The Nox1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits)-dependent generation of reactive oxygen species is dependent on Src (show SRC ELISA Kits) phosphorylation of NoxA1 and Tks4 (show SH3PXD2B ELISA Kits). Blockage of phosphorylation of NoxA1 and Tks4 (show SH3PXD2B ELISA Kits) decreases Nox1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits)-dependent ROS (show ROS1 ELISA Kits) generation and blocks SrcYF-induced invadopodia formation.
The first quantitative characterization of the interactions made between the cytosolic regulators NOXO1 (show NOXO1 ELISA Kits) and NOXA1 and membrane-bound p22(phox (show CYBA ELISA Kits)), is presented.
these results demonstrate that phosphorylation of NoxA1 is a part of the feedback mechanism that functions through activation of Rac (show AKT1 ELISA Kits) with a net outcome of negative modulation of Nox1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits) activity.
NoxA1 is the functional homolog of p67phox (show NCF2 ELISA Kits) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) that regulates redox signaling and VSMC phenotype.
These studies demonstrate that, in reconstituted NOX1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits)/NOXO1 (show NOXO1 ELISA Kits)/NOXA1 systems, the NOXA1 SH3 domain (show ITSN1 ELISA Kits) is not required for function but, when present, can critically modulate the activity of the enzyme system.
PKA-phosphorylated NoxA1 is a new binding partner of 14-3-3 protein (show YWHAE ELISA Kits); this forms the basis of a novel mechanism regulating the formation of ROS (show ROS1 ELISA Kits) by Nox1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits) and, potentially, other NoxA1-regulated Nox family members
role in activating superoxide generation by the NADPH oxidase (show NOX1 ELISA Kits) NOX1 (show NOX1 ELISA Kits)
This gene encodes a protein which activates NADPH oxidases, enzymes which catalyze a reaction generating reactive oxygen species. The encoded protein contains four N-terminal tetratricopeptide domains and a C-terminal Src homology 3 domain. Interaction between the encoded protein and proteins in the oxidase regulatory complex occur via the tetratricopeptide domains. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
