NORWAY, ME, June 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) Children love to succeed and do well in school. Watch a child being praised, and you will see his or her face light up with pride. Have you noticed when children do good and receive positive feedback, they want to continue to do good? Unfortunately the opposite is true as well. If young children are not consistently reminded of their manners, they often tend to get in trouble, which can lead to feelings of embarrassment and sadness. In a recent survey, more than 70 percent of U.S. adults said they thought people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago. Guaranteed Success for Grade School; 50 Easy Things You Can Do Today! gives hope to this recent concern. The young author, Marrae Kimball doesn't think that children behave badly on purpose, therefore, she spent a year compiling ideas from family and friends to help her fellow peers.
Every other page contains a simple, yet important lesson, with explanations and examples on how to achieve grade school success. "Some boys don't know that they should take their baseball hats off inside. And some kids don't know that you should let others exit a room or an elevator first. Because if you don't ride an elevator very much, how would you know? So I put together what I think are the most important things that kids should know, to help them." explained Marrae when asked why she wrote the book.
Marrae Kimball is an honor student and attends the Guy E. Rowe Elementary school in Norway, Maine. She loves helping others and recently coordinated a party raising several hundreds of dollars worth of donations for a local animal shelter. Marrae plays the piano, trombone, viola, and guitar and enjoys painting, fishing, archery, sailing, rock climbing, roller-coasters, and spending time with her family and friends. Marrae wrote this simple book, along with Guaranteed Success for Kindergarten to help students, parents, and teachers have grade school success.

NASA satellite gets 2 tropical cyclones in 1 shot
2011-06-24
The Northwestern Pacific Ocean is active with two tropical cyclones today, Tropical Storm Meari near the Philippines, and Tropical Depression Haima moving over China and now toward Vietnam. NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the region on June 22 and captured an infrared image of both storms in one image.
One of the instruments onboard NASA's Aqua satellite is the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS). AIRS captures cloud top temperatures in tropical cyclones to determine the strength of convection and thunderstorms. The strongest thunderstorms have cloud tops with icy cold ...
Solar wind samples give insight into birth of solar system
2011-06-24
LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, June 23, 2011—Two papers in this week's issue of Science report the first oxygen and nitrogen isotopic measurements of the Sun, demonstrating that they are verydifferent from the same elements on Earth. These results were the top two priorities of NASA's Genesis mission, which was the first spacecraft to return from beyond the Moon, crashing in the Utah desert in 2004 after its parachute failed to deploy during re-entry.
Most of the Genesis payload consisted of fragile solar-wind collectors, which had been exposed to the solar particles over a ...
New insights into origin of deadly cancer
2011-06-24
Boston, MA—Researchers have discovered a new mechanism for the origin of Barrett's esophagus, an intestine-like growth in the esophagus that is triggered by chronic acid reflux and often progresses to esophageal cancer. Studying mice, the researchers found that Barrett's esophagus arises not from mutant cells in the esophagus but rather a small group of previously overlooked cells present in all adults that can rapidly expand to cancer precursors when the normal esophagus is damaged by acid.
This research will be published online in the June 24th issue of Cell.

Study: Long-term inhaled corticosteroid use increases fracture risk in lung disease patients
2011-06-24
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who use inhaled corticosteroids to improve breathing for more than six months have a 27 percent increased risk of bone fractures, new Johns Hopkins-led research suggests.
Because the research subjects were mostly men age 60 and older, the findings raise perhaps more troubling questions about the medication's effects on women with COPD, a group already at a significantly higher risk than men for fractures.
"There are millions of COPD patients who use long-term inhaled corticosteroids in the United States and ...
StarChild Science: Planting Daddy's Socks
2011-06-24
Suburban Hobby Farmer asked us what was the most important lesson children have learned in a garden in my classes. My answer comes from our walks through the forest, an empty lot, a patch of earth on a farm, a small tract of woodland while wearing a pair of Daddy's socks. At the end of these walks the children plant the socks into a flat full of potting soil and a magic journey full of promise and faith begins. From here on out every child who plants their daddy's socks after walking through a forest with the socks over their tennis shoes is intimately connected to any ...
Hereditary colon cancer syndrome marked by abnormally dense blood vessel growth in mouth
2011-06-24
A team led by Johns Hopkins researchers has found that a hereditary colon cancer syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), is associated with abnormally dense blood vessel growth in the skin lining the mouth.
The finding, reported in the June issue of Familial Cancer, could lead to a quick screening test for FAP, which is normally diagnosed with expensive DNA tests and colonoscopies, and sometimes goes unnoticed until cancer develops.
"This higher blood vessel density in the mouth may reflect an abnormal state of cells lining the digestive tract – including the ...
Slow growth of childhood brain tumors linked to genetic process seen in skin moles
2011-06-24
Johns Hopkins researchers have found a likely explanation for the slow growth of the most common childhood brain tumor, pilocytic astrocytoma. Using tests on a new cell-based model of the tumor, they concluded that the initial process of tumor formation switches on a growth-braking tumor-suppressor gene, in a process similar to that seen in skin moles.
The findings, published in the June 1 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, could lead to better ways of evaluating and treating pilocytic astrocytomas.
"These tumors are slow-growing to start with, and sometimes stop growing, ...
Study of phytoremediation benefits of 86 indoor plants published
2011-06-24
SUWON, KOREA—Formaldehyde is a major contaminant of indoor air, originating from particle board, carpet, window coverings, paper products, tobacco smoke, and other sources. Indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde can contribute to allergies, asthma, headaches, and a condition known as ''sick building syndrome". The concern is widespread; a 2002 report from the World Health Organization estimated that undesirable indoor volatiles represent a serious health problem that is responsible for more than 1.6 million deaths per year and 2.7% of the global burden ...

New and old threats to soybean production
2011-06-24
University of Illinois researchers identified the top pathogens, pests and weeds affecting soybean production in a recent article in Food Security. Soybean aphid, soybean rust, soybean cyst nematode, Sclerotina stem rot and the exotic pathogen, red leaf blotch, were featured as some of the top biotic constraints that may affect soybean production now and in the future.
"Enormous potential exists to increase future soybean production," said Glen Hartman, U of I professor of crop sciences and USDA-ARS research scientist. "Genetic resources, used through both traditional ...
