REGINA, SK, June 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Award-winning artisan Steve Soffa and Woman Poker Player Magazine have reached an agreement to launch a dynamic timepiece and luxury gold and precious gemstone poker-themed collection that will appeal to the player in every woman.
Each magnificent piece in the Steve Soffa Luxury Players Collection will be limited editions and all hand crafted. These exquisite works of art will express beauty, elegance, and style.
Steve Soffa changed the landscape in 2010, with new designs for the World Series of Poker bracelets. Not only did Soffa design unique bracelets to define each major tournament event, but he also wanted to craft a special bracelet for the Ladies event. After hours of negotiating with the World Series Team, Soffa created a stunning solid gold bracelet that was encrusted with pink sapphires, and surrounded with black and white diamonds. The WSOP Ladies Championship bracelet made its debut at the 2010 WSOP to an overwhelming response.
A large component of the agreement between Steve Soffa and Woman Poker Player magazine will be to give back to society. Each piece purchased from the new Collection will make a donation to benefit the HOHS Kidney Dialysis fund in "your name." These donations will be sure to bring a smile to the many people who are in need of this treatment.
Readers of Woman Poker Player Magazine will have a unique opportunity to comment on the design stages of the artistry that goes into creating some of the pieces through a special section of the publication, which will be live in the coming months.
"We are both honored and excited to be in partnership with such a talented and coveted jewelry artist," said Maryann Morrison, managing editor of Woman Poker Player. "Working with Steve and being able to present an innovative sneak preview to the stages of craftsmanship will be amazing for our readers. Its a chance for women to be a part of something they may never have before."
"I have no doubt that it will be every girl's dream to own an exquisite limited piece from the Steve Soffa Luxury Players Collection."
The Steve Soffa Luxury Players Collection is expected to be available at live events, at Steve Soffa's Hardcore Watch Company, as well as online through the Woman Poker Player Magazine website, and is due to be unveiled in 2012.

USC researchers find new clues about protein linked to Parkinson's disease
2011-06-19
Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have uncovered structural clues about the protein linked to Parkinson's disease (PD), which ultimately could lead to finding a cure for the degenerative neurological disorder.
The alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) protein is commonly found in the healthy human brain even though its function is not clear. The protein has been the subject of substantial Parkinson's research, however, because it is a major component in the protein clumps found in PD cases.
Unlike most proteins, ...
Medical debt occurs despite insurance, UA study shows
2011-06-19
Tucson, Ariz. - Health insurance is not protecting Arizonans from having problems paying medical bills, and having bill problems is keeping families from getting needed medical care and prescription medicines, a new study has found.
According to a study published online June 16, 2011, by the American Journal of Public Health, after taking age, income and health status into account, simply being insured does not lower the odds of accruing debt related to medical care or medications. In addition, says University of Arizona College of Pharmacy research scientist Patricia ...
UCLA team reports scalable fabrication of self-aligned graphene transistors, circuits
2011-06-19
Graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon, has the potential to make consumer electronic devices faster and smaller. But its unique properties, and the shrinking scale of electronics, also make graphene difficult to fabricate and to produce on a large scale.
In September 2010, a UCLA research team reported that they had overcome some of these difficulties and were able to fabricate graphene transistors with unparalleled speed. These transistors used a nanowire as the self-aligned gate — the element that switches the transistor between various states. But ...
Ocean's harmful low-oxygen zones growing, are sensitive to small changes in climate
2011-06-19
Fluctuations in climate can drastically affect the habitability of marine ecosystems, according to a new study by UCLA scientists that examined the expansion and contraction of low-oxygen zones in the ocean.
The UCLA research team, led by assistant professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences Curtis Deutsch, used a specialized computer simulation to demonstrate for the first time that the size of low-oxygen zones created by respiring bacteria is extremely sensitive to changes in depth caused by oscillations in climate. These oxygen-depleted regions, which expand or ...
