Human Polyclonal CREB3L1 Primary Antibody for EIA, IHC (p) - ABIN358719
Omori, Imai, Suzuki, Watanabe, Tanigami, Sugano: OASIS is a transcriptional activator of CREB/ATF family with a transmembrane domain. in Biochemical and biophysical research communications 2002
The results suggest that CREB3L1 is required for decidualization in mice and humans and may be linked to the pathogenesis of endometriosis in a progesterone-dependent manner.
Our data further strengthens the role for CREB3L1 as a metastasis suppressor in breast cancer and demonstrates that epigenetic silencing is a major regulator of the loss of CREB3L1 expression
CREB3L1 was expressed in 19% of RCC, which is generally resistant to doxorubicin, but in 70% of diffuse (show XRCC1 Antibodies) large B-cell lymphoma that is sensitive to doxorubicin.
CREB3L1 mRNA expression is downregulated in human bladder cancer.CREB3L1 is epigenetically silenced in human bladder cancer facilitating tumor cell spreading and migration in vitro.
Cleavage of CREB3L1 releases its NH2-terminal domain from membranes, allowing it to enter the nucleus where it binds to Smad4 (show SMAD4 Antibodies) to activate transcription of genes encoding proteins required for assembly of collagen-containing extracellular matrix.
CREB3L1 expression may be a useful biomarker in identifying cancer cells sensitive to doxorubicin.
Case Reports: genetically confirmed primary renal sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma with EWSR1 (show EWSR1 Antibodies)-CREB3L1 gene fusion.
Case Report: low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the kidney found to harbor the EWSR1 (show EWSR1 Antibodies)-CREB3L1 gene fusion.
EWSR1 (show EWSR1 Antibodies)-CREB3L1 gene fusions are predominant over FUS (show FUS Antibodies) and CREB3L2 (show CREB3L2 Antibodies) rearrangements in pure sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma.
CREB3L1 plays an important role in suppressing tumorigenesis and that loss of expression is required for the development of a metastatic phenotype.
OASIS affects the expression of HIF-1alpha (show HIF1A Antibodies) target genes through the protein interaction with HIF-1alpha (show HIF1A Antibodies), and that OASIS-HIF-1alpha (show HIF1A Antibodies) complexes may play essential roles in angiogenesis during bone development.
Higher levels of CREB3L1 protein are correlated with increased doxorubicin sensitivity of xenograft RCC (show XRCC1 Antibodies) tumors
Increased susceptibility to dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in the endoplasmic reticulum stress transducer OASIS deficient mice.
We conclude that OASIS functions as an anti-regenerative transcription factor by establishing a non-permissive microenvironment to regenerating axons
Fbxw7 (show FBXW7 Antibodies) controls osteogenesis and chondrogenesis by targeting OASIS and BBF2H7 (show CREB3L2 Antibodies), respectively, for degradation.
Gliosis-specific transcription factor OASIS coincides with proteoglycan core protein (show EPYC Antibodies) genes in the glial scar and inhibits neurite outgrowth.
Findings demonstrate a novel mechanism by which OASIS and its associated family members are modulated by the unfolded protein response to finely control astrocyte differentiation.
OASIS plays crucial roles in promoting the differentiation of early goblet cells to mature goblet cells in the large intestine.
OASIS may play a role in bone formation through the expression of type I collagen and the secretion of bone matrix proteins in fracture healing.
Transcription factor that acts during endoplasmic reticulum stress by activating unfolded protein response target genes. Specifically involved in ER-stress response in astrocytes in the central nervous system. May play a role in gliosis. In vitro, binds to box-B element, cAMP response element (CRE) and CRE-like sequences, and activates transcription through box-B element but not through CRE (By similarity).

Editorial review
A universal player that supports more media formats than you know, including video, audio and image formats. It streams videos and has a highly customizable interface.
Supported formats
Haihaisoft Universal Player supports a few hundreds of media file formats, including video: WMV, AVI, MPEG, DVD, 3GP, FLV, VCD, etc., audio: MP3, M4A, OGG, MIDI, etc. and even images: JPEG, GIF and others.
The program has a nice dark and glossy interface that resembles Windows Media Player (which is going to be very convenient for those who don't like change). It also offers a number of colorful skins (white, black, blue, etc.) so every user can choose what s/he likes.
- The player can open any media file on your computer, all you need is locate it in the Open window or simply drag and drop it right into the program;
- Plays even DRM shielded files;
- Aside from opening downloaded files offline, it can play Internet videos without downloading them (streaming feature): copy-paste the link to a video and watch it in media player (it still requires Internet connection);
- Program allows creating playlists and organizing the library;
- Player can be embedded into meaning Internet Explorer;
- Is updated automatically in background mode.
- Supports more formats than you can think of;
- Comes with nice skins;
- Streams media.
- Can be embedded only in Internet Explorer which is probably unacceptable for people who use such advanced software as Haihaisoft Universal Player.

Camp Quality 2012
River, USA
Club of White River
to the Rotary Club of White Rivers'
website! Our club is situated in the Lowveld
of the province of Mpumalanga, South Africa,
which is a premier tourist destination. The
picturesque town of White River is situated
only 25 minutes from the Kruger National Park
and is close to some of the most interesting
gold discoveries in South African history
as well as to some of the most popular tourist
attractions in the country
you for your interest in the Rotary Club of
White River. We are a vibrant Rotary Club
serving the community of White River, Mpumalanga,
South Africa. We have outlined some of our
projects on our website but for more up to
date information on what is happening please
have at look at our newsletters on the "Downloads"
tab as well as our Facebook page which you
can access by clicking on the link on the
"Home" page.
was destiny that brought Neha and me to White
River. We met in the final year of my degree
course. In traditional Indian culture, it
was an arranged marriage. After meeting each
other twice we decided to marry and spent
our honeymoon at the Pine Lake Inn on the
edge of White River.
we did not actually live in the area until
some years later. I had grown up in Johannesburg,
matriculated in Durban and, under pressure
from my parents, studied commerce at Wits
University. However my real interest was in
electrical engineering, so my heart was not
committed to my studies!
our marriage, we started a clothing alteration
business in central Johannesburg. Sadly we
experienced many armed robberies which decided
us to move to Zimbabwe where Neha had her
roots. We spent seven years there running
a hardware business before returning to South
always felt an attachment to the Lowveld,
we settled in White River and have been running
a successful men's clothing retail store
in town for the past 13 years.
son Nakul is now 21 years old and is studying
Information Science at the University of Pretoria
hopefully completing his degree this year.
He attended Flamboyant School in White River
and I retain a special interest in its operation
and activities. Nakul is a regular helper
and supporter of one of our club's keystone
projects Camp Quality, an annual holiday for
children diagnosed with cancer.
joined the Rotary Club of White River in 2005
and Neha joined Rotary Anns. The club has
many special people who generously welcomed
us. We have made some great friends with Rotarians
over the years and I firmly believe that the
strength of our fellowship binds us within
this small community.
passion since I was a teenager has been keeping
fish and I also enjoy tinkering with cars
and do my own servicing. Since we have entered
the computer age much of my time is spent
glued to the screen. I wish it were not so
sometimes as it is beginning to rule our lives!
Indeed I would not be able to lead our club
had I not owned one.
Neha and I run the business together, she
is not a full time housewife, but she enjoys
cooking, knitting and pottering in the garden.
She completed her matric in India and then
went on to complete a course in hairdressing
and beauty therapy. Hence I never need to
visit the barber!
welcome you to visit us at one of our weekly
meetings on Mondays at 19h00 at Ingwenyama

Happy Weekend
Relax, smile, have fun, be silly, keep busy, enjoy.
The sun is shining, French onion soup is on the stove, and I can't help but feel so thankful for the day! Thank you for the kind words about the new layout and look for Haute Design, for the Canada Day wishes yesterday, as well as for stopping by my guest posts this week: here and here. Though it rained yesterday, we had so much fun and ate far too many sweets! Have you ever had tiramisu dark hot chocolate? It's heavenly. And to all my friends in the United States, Happy 4th of July! Do you have something fun planned for this weekend?

Enhanced light to electric power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells with a low absorbance was achieved using waveguide integration. We present a proof of concept using a very thin dye-sensitized solar cell which absorbed only a small fraction of the light at normal incidence. The glass substrate in conjunction with the solar cells reflecting back contact formed a planar waveguide, which lead to more than four times higher conversion efficiency compared to conventional illumination at normal incidence. This illumination concept leads to a new type of multi-junction PV systems based on enforced spectral splitting along the waveguide.

Great thread! I don't know if DH and I will be going this summer- we'll see how we get along with the babe and winging the whole cloth diapering thing first Every past summer since we started dating waaaay back, we've gone up to Greenfield State Park in Greenfield, NH (about an hour north of Townsend, MA.) It's mostly for tenters- no hookups for water or electricity, unless your camper is self-sufficient. Very kid friendly, and they have a pond with a nice clean beach. There are swings at the beach foir kids and you can rent canoes... not much else to do in town though. We love it there
I can recommend where NOT to go --- Wells State Park in MA. We planned on going last year for 5 days, but made it only 1 night and then checked into a hotel. The mosquitoes were so bad, I have never seen anything like it in my life. .
LOL! I had forgotten about that. Went there when I was 9 months pregnant with my first and got terribly bitten.
We like tent camping, but find it hard with a special needs child. We now do cabin camping. We really like Odetah Resort Camprgound in CT. The weekends can get busy - they have lots of activities - but during the week it is nice and quiet. They have a lake and a pool, mini-golf and free movies. And if you want.. the cafe will even bring you breakfast in the morning!

With school just around the corner (oh dear, is it that time already?), I thought now would be the perfect time to remind y'all about proper classroom etiquette. Now, keep in mind I'm a university student, so most of this is based on what I've seen in my classes, but I'm sure it can apply to any classroom. This list of rules is intended to make class nicer for everyone. None of us likes to have to sit through boring lectures, but we can make it easier for everyone by not annoying the hell out of those around us. Here goes:
1. Turn off your freakin' phone! Seriously. Turn it off. Or at the very least, turn off the ringer. Oh, and if you have one of those phones that vibrates so violently it can double as a sex toy, turn off the vibrator too. We can all hear it. It's just as distracting as that stupid song it plays when the ringer's turned on.
2. I can understand that you just ate an onion and garlic sandwich, and I'm not judging you for that. And I commend you for putting a stick of gum in your mouth to cover up the smell. Thank you. Now close your mouth. Yes, I can hear the slurpy chewing noise. And it's grosser than your onion breath was. If you must chew gum in class, keep your mouth closed!
3. So this is a tough course, eh? You've got lots of questions? Well, good on ya for asking. Most people are too shy to raise their hand in class. But seriously, if you're asking more than 20 questions in a 50-minute lecture, I'm going to kill you. If the course material is so beyond you that you have to ask a stupid question every 2 minutes, maybe you should check the prerequisites again.
4. I'm really sorry that you caught that nasty cold going around. It sure blows donkey balls being sick, doesn't it? The sore throat, the cough, the headache, the runny nose...blech. I really do feel for you. But I also feel for me and everyone else around me who has to listen to you sniffle every 3 seconds. Kleenex is cheap. It's pretty easy to come by. They've been packaging it in those little mini plastic bags for as long as I can remember. Why don't you have some? Why do you have to make the rest of us listen to you sucking your drizzly snot up your nasal tract? Just blow it!
5. Class is at 10:00am. Not 10:05. Not 10:10. Not 10:15. Etc. Sure, everyone sleeps in once in a while. And that's cool. If you're late the odd time, and you quietly come in and take the nearest empty seat, you're forgiven. But if you're 15 minutes late every day, and then you walk across the room in your loud stiletto boots and have to shuffle past 4 people so you can sit in the middle of the row next to your friend, you're most definitely not forgiven. If you can't make it to your class on time, ever, then DON'T TAKE THE CLASS!
6. Speaking of your friend in the middle of the row, it must be nice to see him, huh? You haven't seen him since yesterday! But please, I beg you, I IMPLORE you, visit with him AFTER class! You can tell him about how drunk you got last night (which is why you were late) AFTER class! The rest of us are trying to listen and take notes. It's really hard when we're also listening to you yapping to your friend about your new Prada purse. So STFU.
7. 8:00 classes suck. I get it. I'm tired too. We're all tired. But do you see the rest of us sleeping on our desks? No, we're here to learn. We do our sleeping at night. We get really pissed off when we have to listen to you snoring and see you drooling on your desk. Just go home.
8. Your phone just rang. I TOLD you to turn it off. No biggie. You quickly reached into your Prada purse and grabbed hold of it and stopped it from ringing. But now you're...wha?!? No, don't just put it back! Turn it off this time! Weren't you embarrassed enough the first time it rang? Why would you leave it on and put it back in your Prada purse? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...
9. So you have 5 straight hours of class today? Wow, that's rough. When do you find time to eat? Oh, you have to eat in class. Well, I guess I can understand that. Seriously, go ahead and eat. But, wait, is that a tuna salad sandwich you're pulling out? Oh, dear. It's an EGG salad sandwich! And you're sitting half an inch away from me. Excuse me while I go barf.
Well, I feel better now. I'm sure there are many more things that could go on this list, but it's been a few months since I was in class and I can't remember them all. Feel free to add more. And feel free to print out this list and post on your classroom door. Or hand a copy to the dumbass eating the tuna sandwich. Whatever. Enjoy you class!

Would you also handle block (single pass) grouping with the same class...? I think we can do this. The block grouping returns TopGroups as result. {quote} Nice. {quote} bq. I guess you'd then .getAllGroups(), .getAllGroupHeads() after .search(...)? Yes, we need that. In the case of getAllGroups() the TopGroups#totalGroupCount field can be used when the user is only interested in the number of matching groups. {quote} OK. {quote} bq. Hmm would we try to handle Term/BytesRef and Function/MutableValue with the same class? With generics? {quote} I think so... but I think it may get tricky. Like, I think you should specify up front (to GroupingSearch ctor) the required things about your request (block join OR group field OR field + DV type OR function VS/ctx map), setters for the numerous optional things (sort, groupSort, getScores, getMaxScores, maxDocsPerGroup) and maybe params to search for the per-requesty things (topNGroups, groupOffset, withinGroupOffset). But then the <T> will depend on which ctor you used...? Not sure how it'd work... bq. Maybe distributed grouping needs its own class? Since the usage is different from a non distributed grouping. Yeah...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was a homemaker for 27 years. Now divorcing, my only asset is my home, owned jointly but my spouse has agreed to give it to me in the settlement. I am currently unemployed. We have an estimated 50, 000 in equity. The defaulted cards are in my name. I have someone willing to pay off the mortgage in full, about 65, 000. Do I have ANY hope of keeping it? Bankruptcy would take it, right? I defaulted on the cards probably in late 2010. Three of the cards have high balances, the others, a few hundred. Is there any hope for me?
You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney in Georgia as soon as possible. In many cases, bankruptcy allows you to keep your home without paying the credit cards.Ask a similar question
You need to see a lawyer, yesterday! Georgia will allow you to protect slightly under half that equity. So if you get divorced first, get all the house, and then pay off the mortgage, yes you would probably lose the home in bankruptcy and be a great target for the credit card lenders.
It may be, with a different order, such as waiting on the divorce and bankrupting first (depending on the details), you may have a better outcome. Don't wait. You need legal counsel now.
The details may also generate other suggestions for you. But the steps you outline are probably exactly the wrong ones.
If you need a consultation at my office, call me at 404-768-3509.
If you find this answer helpful, please mark it here on AVVO as helpful. In answering you, I am attempting to communicate general legal information and am not representing you (and am not your lawyer). Do feel free to call me at 404-768-3509 if you wish to discuss actual representation (the phone call also does not retain counsel; that requires an office visit and appropriate paperwork). In that a forum such as this provides me with limited details and doesn't allow me to review details and documents, it is possible that answers here, while meant to be helpful, may in some cases not be complete or accurate, and I highly recommend that you retain legal counsel rather than rely on the answers here. (You can also email my office at firstname.lastname@example.com . An email also does not retain my office, but can help you get an appointment set if you prefer not to call). I am happy to discuss possible representation with you. Any information in this communication is for discussion purposes only, and is not offered as legal advice. There is no right to rely on the information contained in this communication and no attorney-client relationship is formed. Nothing in my answer should be considered as tax-advice. To ensure compliance with IRS Circular 230, any U.S. federal tax advice provided in this communication is not intended or written to be used, and it cannot be used by the recipient or any other taxpayer (i) for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties that may be imposed on the recipient or any other taxpayer, or (ii) in promoting, marketing or recommending to another party a partnership or other entity, investment plan, arrangement or other transaction addressed herein. I am also required to advise you, if your question concerns bankruptcy, that the U.S. Congress has designated Ashman Law Office as a debt relief agency that can help people file bankruptcy.Ask a similar question
Your situation requires you to sit with an attorney to discuss what is going on and the best course of action for you. The timing of filing the divorce and the bankruptcy will also impact how much equity there is in the home and what the effect of a bankruptcy attorney would be. If the house is currently in both names, then your portion of the equity in the home would be in the $25,000 range, and there's a good chance that the equity could be fully protected in a Chapter 7. If your goal is to get a job, then you would need to be concerned about the debt that you owe, since non payment will lead to lawsuits, which could lead to judgments and eventually garnishment of your wages. You should not make any decisions, pay off the mortgage, etc. without first consulting with a bankruptcy attorney. I am happy to speak to you.Ask a similar question

|RE: JCR Query Result Caching
|Sun, 10 Aug 2008 10:13:48 GMT
Hello Shaun, First of all let me point you to a set of tips I wrote some time ago about performance for queries, see [1]. > > Hi all, > > As our data set increases the overhead of executed JCR > queries is increasing. For example, we typically want to > display the top 3 latest BlogEntries on a page requiring > "select * from acme:BlogEntries where jcr:path like > '/home/myblog/%'". Profiling shows Lucene access to be a > hotspot under load. Noted that we can review our node > structure but ... After reading the link above, you probably know where the bottleneck is in: the path '/home/myblog/%' will become the bottleneck. I am not sure what kind of numbers of nodes you are talking about? Like 1000 blog entries, of 1.000.000? (see below for a workaround for you problem, which I am sure of will solve your issue) > > Q1: Does JackRabbit provide any facilities to cache the > results of queries such that they can be shared by concurrent > sessions for a particular time to live? Define result of a query? Are you talking about the result of lucene, or the jr queryresult for instance? Anyway, to answer, lucene has internal caching, and jackrabbit has a cache for hierarchical relation (which are needed a lot for your queries since you have '/home/myblog/%'). Also not that < 1.4 jr version (from top of my head, so not 100% sure) this hierarchical cache was broken. So it also depends on your version. Furthermore, I do not think caching the jr QueryResult is a good idea, and it might be session dependant whether some nodes are allowed in the result or not. > > As a query returns a set of JCR Nodes, which in turn are > session specific, I'm assuming caching query results is > tricky. Caching query results quickly brings us into the > realm of transactional semantics, isolation levels etc. Yes, and you won't find your performance improve here either (obviously, it will be fast when cached, but not the way to go). Furthermore, certainly because nodes are lazily fetched, it is not the fetching of nodes which is slow (unless you want thousands of results at once), but it is your hierarchical query. > > I'd be interested to hear any experiences in attempting to > cache JCR query results? So, probably by now, you'll know that your bottleneck most likely lies within the lucene search. If you have <param name="respectDocumentOrder" value="true"/> (see [1]), this might also be a big performance hit. So, I think you have 3 options, two involving extending some jackrabbit code, which you might not like: 1) extend the SearchIndex, and cache certain lucene queries (not exactly sure which and how, but might be coupled to the kind of queries you are using) 2) during indexing, also index path information (extend NodeIndexer). When searching for simple path expression, like /foo/bar//* you can easily match this to one single lucene term, which is blistering fast up to millions of nodes. Though realize, you give up the almost free of charge moving of nodes in Jackrabbit. It is a simple trade-off. 3) if you do not want any programming, than change your sql/xpath query. Basically, from [1] you should know what the problem is: if the 'where' clause returns many results (if you don't have a where, it will be all), all results need to be checked for the path whether they should be included or not. So, if you can limit the initial set by thinking of some where clause that returns less hits, the query will become faster. So you want the last three BlogEntries added, right? So you have a timestamp property most likely. Now, suppose on average every day 10 entries are added, then, adding to the 'where' clause a constraint that says: only nodes where timestamp > lastweektimestamp. Now, lots of results less will be needed to be checked for their path constraint. Still, results from all over the repository added last week will be in the result after the 'where' clause. If you also know, that blog entries are of some specific node type, add this information in the 'where' to only include those nodes which are of type 'blog'. Quite sure that if you follow the ideas from point 3, your queries will be more then fast enough for millions of nodes in the repository, where the query you have now probably slows down after several tens of thousands nodes. Hopefully you are helped with this info, -Ard [1] http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/Performance > Regards, > > Shaun > >

When pastor Peter LaRuffa recently said that he would believe the Bible even if it said 2+2=5, he probably thought he was standing up for Biblical inerrancy.

Inerrancy vs. Contradictions

Drew Brees, a quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, is one of the many people who have spoken out against Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit during the National Anthem.
"I disagree. I wholeheartedly disagree," Brees told ESPN. "Not that he wants to speak out about a very important issue. No, he can speak out about a very important issue. But there's plenty of other ways that you can do that in a peaceful manner that doesn't involve being disrespectful to the American flag."
"The great thing about this country is that we have the freedoms that allow you to speak out openly about any issue. So I'm not commenting on the issue itself because any person has the right to speak out on any issue they want. That's the great thing about being an American. But the American flag is what represents those freedoms. It represents the very freedom that Colin Kaepernick gets the opportunity to exercise by speaking out his opinion in a peaceful manner about that issue. …
"Like, it's an oxymoron that you're sitting down, disrespecting that flag that has given you the freedom to speak out."
Both of Brees' grandfathers served in World War II. One was a Marine in Okinawa and the other in the Army in India.
"Listen, if I chose to speak out on every issue that I have an opinion about, that's all I'd do all day. I'd probably have a hundred Twitter posts a day."
"I've been on five USO trips, so I've had a chance to meet and talk with a lot of military personnel. I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the things that they go through. Also having family that have served and sitting around and listening to my grandfather talk about World War II, so maybe that gives me a heightened level of appreciation for them," Brees said. "But when I look at that flag, I think about them too. I think about a lot of things. Like when I stand and listen to the national anthem with my hand over my heart, there is emotions that well up inside of me.
"Like, I could shed a tear every time the national anthem plays if I would allow myself because it's that powerful."

3 - 4 Final
Cantu's homer helps Padres beat DiamondbacksMay 9, 2011 - 12:17 AM
Jason Bartlett knocked in the other run for the Padres and Aaron Harang earned the win in seven innings of work. Harang (5-2) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk while fanning two in San Diego's fifth win in its last eight games.
"Overall, you know, I liked the fact I thought his [Harang] stuff got better as the game went on. I saw the fastball velocity climb," Padres manager Bud Black said.
Joe Saunders (0-4) took the loss, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three in six innings. It was Arizona's third defeat in five games.
The Padres jumped out to an early four-run lead in the first after Chris Denorfia led off with a single, stole second, and then came home on a Bartlett double. Then, after a Ryan Ludwick groundout, Chase Headley worked a walk and Cantu followed with a three-run shot to left field.
"It was unfortunate, obviously, to give up four runs in the first. I put us in a jam early on, but I battled back, put up some zeroes, and tried to keep us in it the best I could," said Saunders of his performance.
Arizona answered in the second with a Josh Wilson double that scored Melvin Mora, and a Joe Saunders single that plated Wilson to make the score 4-2.
The D-Backs' best chance to do more damage came in the eighth off of reliever Mike Adams. After he got lead-off hitter Ryan Roberts to hit a weak grounder back to the mound, Justin Upton doubled, and Miguel Montero followed with a single to put men on first and third.
Xavier Nady then smoked a ball into the left-center field gap, but Cameron Maybin made a running grab as he tumbled to the ground. Upton was able to score on the sacrifice, but it could have easily tied the game. Mora then struck out to end the inning and allow the Padres to maintain a one-run lead.
Heath Bell entered in the ninth and allowed a two-out walk to pinch-hitter Russell Branyan before striking out Chris Young to end the game and earn his eighth save.

Katia Beauchamp is a beauty maven that we feel lucky to know: she founded Birchbox, the incredibly successful beauty subscription service that delivers a colorful box of curated beauty samples to your door each month. These boxes seem to have quite a bit in common with Katia herself: colorful, beautiful and surprising, but also whip-smart and poised to let you in on the secret of what's the next big thing in beauty. We've had the honor of collaborating with Birchbox on a limited-edition gift box in the past, and on Birchbox blog posts where Tata swapped tips with Katia on going natural with your regimen.
Now, we're swapping places, with an exclusive interview with Katia on motherhood, products, advice, mistakes, and more. Read on!
What's your favorite part about working in the beauty industry?
The kind of people that you meet when you work in the industry. The thing that struck me when I was 19, when I had my first experience in the industry as an intern with Lauder in college, I realized the people I was meeting were super intelligent and analytical, but also incredibly creative, with a balance in their lives between the art and science of business. I thought that was so fantastic that you could have a job with that with analytics, creative, and at the end of the day, having an ability to make decisions based on a lot of perspective and knowledge.
Whats your number one beauty tip that gets you through a busy, hectic day?
I agree with something I heard Tata say once that blush can make all of the difference. It makes you look alive. I carry the Lip and Cheek tint and put it on throughout the day, like someone would put on lipstick. It makes me look happy and healthy!
Whats one thing thats changed about your beauty and self-care routine since becoming a mother?
Almost everything in my skin care routine switched to Tata Harper! I spend most of the time of my beauty routine in skincare the least amount of time on makeup, middle on hair, and the vast majority on skincare, so Im picky. I have really high standards, and Ive always been someone that believes in layering your moisturizers in a pretty serious way so its really been the brands and products themselves that have switched since becoming a mom, not really the categories. Also, Ive never really been one to wash my hair often, so thats helped me a lot as a mom. Overall, I dont do anything too elaborate even before I was a mom, I just didnt have time.
Whats one thing about your beauty routine that hasnt changed?
One thing Ive done consistently for my whole beauty life has been putting eyeliner on the bottom of my eyes. Everything else has changed pretty habitually.
If you could pass along one thing that youve learned in your career to ambitious young women everywhere, what would it be?
I believe a lot in being bold, and asking for the things that you need what I do and what Ive done for a long time is try to get partners be excited about something. One realization I had pretty early on is that I dont believe in hearing no. Particularly, I dont accept a no until I really hear it from the right person the person I need to say yes. The joke on my team used to be no means yes!
Can you tell us about a mistake you made at some point in life, and what you learned from it? This could be anything from a disastrous experimental haircut to a career choice.
My husband is someone that Ive known since I was ten years old. We found each other at the right time in terms of being romantically involved, but it took too long for us to get together. We got together when we were 24. If I could have told my thirteen-year-old self that this was going to be my husband, I feel like I would have been a different person then.
Whats one thing youve felt inspired by recently?
I get so much inspiration from our team, and watching people develop into such impressive business people who have honed their craft and are stepping up in a new way in terms of being a leader and being strategic. I get so emotional and excited about seeing that happen at Birchbox our leaders are what inspires me, and what makes me want to work as hard as I can.
What's something you've done that you can't wait to tell your grandchildren about?
That I founded Birchbox!
Its a Sunday night and you have a really big week coming up. Whats one thing you do to enjoy your last weekend hours of freedom, or to prep yourself for the days ahead?
Sunday night, I really do try to cook dinner cooking is cathartic for me, it makes me feel more balanced and calm. I dont get to do a lot of cooking during the week, so thats something I try to squeeze in to my weekend.
Whats your favorite Tata Harper product, and why?
The Resurfacing Mask, because it does everything it makes a visible difference immediately. I use it once a week. I love the way it makes my skin look.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- A shift may be underway at Sarasota City Hall. Two City Commissioners are stepping down to run against each other for County Commission. The three remaining City Commissioners will be in charge of appointing their replacements.
It's a story with a lot of layers.
"To the best of our knowledge, this is unprecedented and the first time this has ever happened," said Sarasota City Manager Tom Barwin.
"City Commission is in the final stages of the review process to select candidates in November," Barwin said.
And though the replacements will only serve about seven months, it could be a wild ride.
"The three remaining city commissioners are more moderate to liberal, I don't think they're going to fill those spots with conservatives," said New College Political Science Professor Frank Alcock.
"You will see a shift toward the preferences of the remaining three city commissioners," he predicted.
City Hall observers say this shift could put an end to talk of a new homeless shelter. Two key votes for it are stepping down, and two key votes against it are in charge of finding their replacements.
It may not be a long-term situation: The appointed commissioners take their seats in November. Election day is in March, and whomever the voters choose will take over in May.

Byron to go slow on main drags
The main streets of Bangalow and Byron Bay could soon have permanent 40 kilometre-an-hour speed limits.
The Byron Shire Council is calling for feedback from the Bangalow community as it considers a Roads and Traffic Authority recommendation to make Byron Street a high pedestrian zone.
The council's infrastructure planning manager, Michael King says a map and information about the plan will be on public display until March the 25th.
He says other areas are also under consideration.
"We've had a look at Byron Bay town centre and we're looking at how we can implement something there and we have proposed Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads but at this stage haven't got anything definitive to put forward about those two town centres," Mr King said.
"I think the local community have always been wanting some level of improvements to make things safer for them but this specific one this time came from the RTA asking us to consider it and put it through and get it endorsed," he said.

Industry Research : Tackling the Blues, One Call at a Time
Sixty-five per cent of people who called the BMC's mental health helpline over the last eight months were men, according to data collected by those manning the civic body's 'Life is Beautiful-Hitguj' phone lines.
A majority of these were in the age group of 21-40 and were facing some sort of financial trouble, which in turn resulted in social and domestic discord, the data showed.
The last eight months saw 3,119 people calling the helpline, of which 2027 were men. More than half of these calls were from out of Mumbai.
The BMC had started the Hitguj helpline in May 2013 to tackle what it saw as a steep rise in the number of people afflicted with depression.
With Hitguj, which means a personal conversation in Marathi, the civic body hoped to reach out to such people and also cut down the suicide rate in the city. The helpline was an instant success, with the helpline receiving 100 calls a day on an average. Ten professional counsellors man the helpline 24x7.
"A person who is depressed or is contemplating suicide feels an overwhelming urge to speak to someone and be heard," said Shubhangi Parkar, head, psychiatry department, KEM Hospital.
"A fruitful conversation in this 'golden period' helps remove such thoughts from their minds and pull them out of the mire they find themselves in. Many people attempt suicide as they don't have anyone to speak to or share their problems."
The data puts 19 per cent of the callers under what it terms common mental disorder. This includes depression and anxiety.
Another 19.5 per cent of callers have been categorised as being in depression due to social causes. A majority of these are caused by financial trouble, leading to problems with their spouses and families.
"After a few weeks, we realised that inflation may be the cause behind most people's problems," said Parkar. "We found that even those from financially sound families were finding it hard to meet their daily needs. This results in increased tension in the family and social circles. Many a time, there are fights between husband and wife due to the family's financial situation."
Around 6 per cent of callers, the study said, were suffering from abnormal psychosis. This includes people who have grappled with psychic problems in the past and who still exhibit symptoms even after completing their treatment. They may feel restless, hear voices in their head, or just feel lonely.
"In such cases, we suggest that they immediately visit the nearest mental health clinic or a counsellor," said Parkar.
"There are also cases where our employees counsel them at length over the phone. We try to understand the root cause of their problems and advice them."
She said a minor percentage of students also called the helpline in desperation about not doing well in studies. "Normally they are unable to understand why they are unable to concentrate on their studies," said Parkar.
"They also speak about how their parents are putting undue pressure on them to score high marks. We tell them to take frequent breaks while studying and not to be distracted by things like video games, surfing or television. We also try to encourage them to ignore their parents' negative words and just concentrate on their studies."
» The majority of callers were men between the ages of 21 and 40
» More than half of all calls were from outside Mumbai.
» According to the data, 19 per cent of callers suffered from 'common mental disorders' including mild depression and anxiety.
» Another 19.5 per cent of callers were categorised as being in depression because of social causes.
» Around 6 per cent of callers, the study said, suffered from abnormal psychosis.
» A minor percentage of students also called in desperation about not doing well in studies
» In a majority of cases, financial woes lead to marital discord

Tumor Marker and Cancer DetectionBY: Nidhi Uppangala | Category: Healthcare | Submitted: 2010-06-08 21:18:46

Tumor Markers are biological substances like protein that can be produced in high level than normal level in patients with cancer. Tumor markers can be produced in blood, urine or any tissue of the cancer patient. Tumor markers can be produced either by tumor cell or by body cells in response to the tumor.
Tumor markers can be used to detect cancer along with other tests like X-ray. Measurement of tumor markers alone is not sufficient to diagnose cancer because tumor marker levels are increased only in some of the cancer patients. In early stages of cancer the level of tumor markers are not high than the normal. Many of the tumor markers are not specific to the cancer type. That is the level of a particular type of tumor marker can be raised by many types of cancer.
Tumor markers not only for cancer detection but also been used by doctors in deciding the type of appropriate therapy to treat the cancer patients. In many cases the level of tumor marker is proportionate to the level of cancer present in the body. Tumor markers are also used to monitor the response of patient to the cancer therapy. As decreased or normal level of these tumor marker may also indicate the complete cure of cancer from the body of patient.
At present the tumor markers are used to monitor the response of patient to the present cancer therapy and also to check the chances of recurrence of the disease. Research is going on to use these tumor markers in early detection of cancer.
Some Commonly Measured Tumor Markers:
Prostate Specific Antigen:
In all adult males low concentration of prostate specific antigen (PSA) are present, but high level of PSA are found in the patient with prostate cancer conditions like prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia or tumor growth in the prostate gland. Elevated level or higher level of PSA indicates the requirement of other tests to confirm the presence of cancer.
PSA are used in monitoring the patient's response to the cancer treatment and in checking recurrence of the condition after treatment. Increased level of PSA indicates the recurrence of the cancer in already treated patients.
Carcinoembryonic Antigen:
Small level of carcinoembryonic antigen is present in normal healthy persons but elevated level indicates the presence of cancer. Carcinoembryonic antigen is used in monitoring metastatic patient with colorectal cancer, and also to monitor for recurrence of colorectal cancer after treatment.
Elevated level of carcinoembryonic antigen may also indicate the presence of breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, cervix cancer, ovary cancer or kidney cancer.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) normally produced by a unburned developing fetus, but they are undetectable in healthy adults. Higher level of alpha-fetoprotein indicates the conditions such as primary liver cancer or germ cell cancer of the ovary or testicle.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin:
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is normally produced during pregnancy by the placenta. Higher level of human chorionic gonadotropin may indicate the presence of liver cancer, stomach cancer, ovary cancer, pancreatic cancer or lung cancer. HCG are used to monitor the trophoblastic disease treatment and also used in choriocarcinoma screening.

How Prescription Drugs Became an Epidemic
Painkillers, especially opiates, have been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Opiates are derived from the opium poppy have been prevalent in the medical field for centuries and it was in the early nineteenth century that morphine became a widely used painkiller that first caused the spread of addiction.
Over time the recreational use of opium grew and drugs like morphine and heroin became a serious problem that led to their illegal status. In the 1980s and 90s, new prescription painkillers came on the market that were synthetic opiates including Vicodin, Oxycontin and Percocet.
While these types of painkillers can be useful for people recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic pain, the amount of people abusing prescription opiates has increased to epidemic levels in the past decade.
The Rise of Prescription Opioids
When prescription opiate painkillers first became prevalent in the 1980s, it was part of a response to increasing concern that doctors were undertreating patient's pain problems. To resolve this issue doctors and medical students were encouraged to consider the severity of pain in each individual patient and treat them with an adequate amount of medication.
Doctors and students were also mistakenly told that patients could not become dependent on narcotics if they were taking them for legitimate pain reasons. This is now known to be a false belief as many patients develop serious addictions in spite of their genuine pain problems.
Some opioid pain medications were also thought to be safer alternatives to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to these misconceptions, the drug companies that created many of the new opioid painkillers and patient-advocacy groups were pushing doctors to prescribe them to patients.
Although patients may have previously been undertreated for pain, this push in the direction of prescribing more painkillers had unintended consequences. Prescription abuse began to rise as the number of painkillers being given to patients tripled from 1999 to 2010.
Growing Rates of Prescription Abuse
In today's climate, prescription drug abuse has increased to the point of being called a national health epidemic. As the number of doctors prescribing painkillers increased in the past decade, the number of substance abuse treatment admissions for prescription pain relievers has also increased 400 percent.
In American culture people have become more reliant on medication to solve even minor pain or anxiety problems and they turn to prescription drugs because they are so easy to obtain. The non-medical use of prescription painkillers is now the second-most prevalent form of illicit drug use in America.
The epidemic has grown not only among high- profile celebrity addiction and resulting deaths but throughout all socioeconomic strata. Experts say that the push among doctors to be more aggressive in addressing pain has been one of the key elements in the rapid increase of people coping with prescription addictions.
Another issue that people point to as relating to this increase in addiction is the American culture of immediate gratification. Addiction specialists believe that people now are unwilling to endure even the slightest discomfort and seek stronger medication when non-addictive drugs would be adequately effective.
Various circumstances have come together to fuel prescription abuse into an explosive problem in the U.S. Addiction specialists hope that a federal monitoring program could help improve the situation and reduce the number of prescriptions being abused.
Patients could potentially be flagged if they are suspected of abusing drugs because they are obtaining prescriptions from multiple doctors or frequently refilling their medication. In order to reduce the amount of people abusing painkillers, doctors need to be more aware of patients with histories of addiction or certain vulnerabilities to misuse the drugs.
As the epidemic continues to increase, measures need to be taken to help reduce the level of prescription abuse throughout the country.

VIERA, Fla. - We're in the bottom of the sixth at Space Coast Stadium, and while Tom Gorzelanny has continued to cruise along for the most part, he got burned by a one-out walk in the fourth inning. After he issued the free pass to Matt Holliday, David Freese hammered a two-run shot over the right field wall to put the Cardinals up 2-1.
That was really Gorzelanny's only hiccup for the night, though; he went six innings, struck out five, walked one and gave up four hits. His slider was an effective pitch all night, working as a nice backdoor option to righties a night after Jordan Zimmermann exploited the outside corner of the strike zone against the Tigers' lefties. In his final spring start, Gorzelanny looked ready to go.
He also laid down a pair of successful sacrifice bunts, setting up the Nationals' first run in the third inning when he moved Alberto Gonzalez to second. Nyjer Morgan drove in Gonzalez with a single.
