PHUKET, THAILAND, July 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) The 10K Turibana to Santa Cruz run will stretch from Noord's Panaderia del Campo and along open roads to the finish at the sports centre Compleho Deportivo Betico Croes. To be able to take part entries are being accepted on 1st August until race day which falls on 4th September 2011.
The race is open to male and female runners and competitors don't have to be in peak physical condition as the event is seen as a way to get into long distance running. The race will start at 05:30 to avoid the midday heat and runners are free to raise sponsorship money in aid of local non-profit organisations.
Charities include the donkey sanctuary which is run by volunteers and helps to care for nearly 100 donkeys. The sanctuary was created as many of the animals were left abandoned after cars replaced them as the main form of transport and today is only supported by donations as it doesn't even charge visitors for entry.
Other organisations are the Environmental Committee which runs projects to ensure the coastal areas and coral reefs are kept clean and free from litter which can harm marine life.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented: "As more runners book into cheap Palm Beach hotels to take part and help the charities some locations may be left without vacancies."

Orthodontist Dr. Leon Klempner at Coolsmiles Orthodontics Launches Charity to Fund Surgeries for Children with Severe Facial Deformities
2011-07-12
Long Island orthodontist Leon Klempner today announces the launch of The Smile Rescue Fund for Kids, an organization he founded to provide funding to children born with severe facial and craniofacial deformities. These children have such significant challenges that they cannot be helped by their families, governmental agencies and currently established charitable organizations.
Facial deformities result in many challenging medical issues, including feeding problems, hearing loss, unintelligible speech, and recurrent ear infections. But the social and psychological consequences ...

OAI: GM Auto Insurance Offer Highlights Minimum Coverage Issue
2011-07-12
General Motors recently announced that it would be teaming up with coverage provider MetLife to offer car insurance with no down payment and no payments for the entire first year following the purchase of certain GM models in Oregon and Washington.
What's surprising about the financial protection provided for free through the offer is that it far exceeds the requirements set by law in the two states.
Washington currently requires drivers to only carry $25,000 in bodily injury liability protection per person and $50,000 total per accident, along with $10,000 in property ...
Providers Prefer Interface Engine Solutions that Deliver High-performance Interoperability for Seamless Data Flow
2011-07-12
The ever-expanding number of technology applications, combined with meaningful use and other initiatives, results in the increasing demand for application interoperability in healthcare organizations. This in turn places greater pressure and incentive on those organizations to find better and easier ways to facilitate interfacing. Providers want all the horsepower of a robust, scalable, and flexible interface engine (IE) wrapped up in an easy-to-use package. KLAS' new report entitled "Interface Engines: Beyond Interoperability" scrutinizes vendor performance, ...
Genetic study sheds new light on auto-immune arthritis
2011-07-12
The team of researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Queensland (Australia), Oxford, Texas and Toronto, used a technique called genome-wide association where millions of genetic markers are measured in thousands of people that have the disease and thousands of healthy individuals.
Markers which are more frequent in individuals with the disease are more likely to be involved in the condition.
Using this approach the investigators found an additional seven genes likely to be involved in the condition, bringing the total number of genes known to predispose to AS ...
Unlocking the genetics and biology of ankylosing spondylitis
2011-07-12
A study involving over 5,000 people living with the joint disorder ankylosing spondylitis has identified a series of genetic variants associated with increased susceptibility to the condition as well as providing new clues to how the condition may be treated in the future.
The study, a collaboration between the Australo-Anglo-American Spondyloarthritis Consortium and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, also provides one of the first confirmed examples of gene-gene interaction seen in humans.
Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease that affects as many ...
Light propagation controlled in photonic chips -- major breakthrough in telecommunications field
2011-07-12
New York, NY — July 10, 2011 — Researchers at Columbia Engineering School have built optical nanostructures that enable them to engineer the index of refraction and fully control light dispersion. They have shown that it is possible for light (electromagnetic waves) to propagate from point A to point B without accumulating any phase, spreading through the artificial medium as if the medium is completely missing in space. This is the first time simultaneous phase and zero-index observations have been made on the chip-scale and at the infrared wavelength.
The study, to ...
U of T researchers build an antenna for light
2011-07-12
TORONTO, ON – University of Toronto researchers have derived inspiration from the photosynthetic apparatus in plants to engineer a new generation of nanomaterials that control and direct the energy absorbed from light.
Their findings are reported in a forthcoming issue of Nature Nanotechnology, which will be released on July 10, 2011.
The U of T researchers, led by Professors Shana Kelley and Ted Sargent, report the construction of what they term "artificial molecules."
"Nanotechnologists have for many years been captivated by quantum dots – particles of semiconductor ...
Quick test can predict immune responses to flu shots
2011-07-12
Researchers at the Emory Vaccine Center have developed a method for predicting whether someone will produce high levels of antibodies against a flu shot a few days after vaccination.
After scanning the extent to which carefully selected genes are turned on in white blood cells, the researchers can predict on day three, with up to 90 percent accuracy, who will make high levels of antibodies against a standard flu shot four weeks later.
The results were published online July 10 in the journal Nature Immunology.
"It often takes several weeks after vaccination for an ...
