ORLANDO, FL, August 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) Nancy Reif is proud to announce her participation in the New Jersey Marathon. She feels succeeding in this undertaking will create a stronger degree of self-confidence in her personal and professional life that is hard to match.
Nancy plans to follow a strict training regimen in order to prepare for the marathon. She knows that marathons require months of preparation and is ready to make the necessary commitments. "I'm very excited for this marathon. Just like in business, if you approach a challenge with the right mindset and lots of preparation you will succeed," replied Reif when asked about her training.
The New Jersey Marathon has been hosted in and around Long Branch, New Jersey since 1997. The marathon replaced the Jersey Shore Marathon which was canceled in 1985. The course is a 13.1 mile loop that runners completing the full marathon must run twice. Since starting in 1997, the New Jersey Marathon has grown immensely with the 2011 marathon seeing over 10,000 participants.
Nancy Reif hopes to finish the race with a respectable time as well as crossing the line injury-free. She knows that marathons can take a toll on the body so she has been researching proper training and footwear that she might need to avoid any serious problems. It has been a great learning experience for her.
Reif had always wanted to run a marathon but had not made the choice to do so until now. She thinks the atmosphere of the New Jersey Marathon will help motivate her to perform well on the day of the race. The marathon attracts thousands of runners from all over the country and the world. Reif feels that the excitement of the day will propel her to beat the pace she sets during her training.
Nancy Reif is a professional businesswoman who has worked for a variety of investment and asset businesses in the financial industry for over 15 years. Her work experience spans a number of different responsibilities including managing director, president, senior vice president, owner, and recruiter.

Scripps Research Institute scientists show copper facilitates prion disease
2012-08-10
LA JOLLA, CA, August 9, 2012 ¬– Many of us are familiar with prion disease from its most startling and unusual incarnations—the outbreaks of "mad cow" disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) that created a crisis in the global beef industry. Or the strange story of Kuru, a fatal illness affecting a tribe in Papua New Guinea known for its cannibalism. Both are forms of prion disease, caused by the abnormal folding of a protein and resulting in progressive neurodegeneration and death.
While exactly how the protein malfunctions has been shrouded in mystery, scientists ...
'Selfish' DNA in animal mitochondria offers possible tool to study aging
2012-08-10
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Researchers at Oregon State University have discovered, for the first time in any animal species, a type of "selfish" mitochondrial DNA that is actually hurting the organism and lessening its chance to survive – and bears a strong similarity to some damage done to human cells as they age.
The findings, just published in the journal PLoS One, are a biological oddity previously unknown in animals. But they may also provide an important new tool to study human aging, scientists said.
Such selfish mitochondrial DNA has been found before in plants, but ...
Weekend hospital stays prove more deadly than other times for older people with head trauma
2012-08-10
A Johns Hopkins review of more than 38,000 patient records finds that older adults who sustain substantial head trauma over a weekend are significantly more likely to die from their injuries than those similarly hurt and hospitalized Monday through Friday, even if their injuries are less severe and they have fewer other illnesses than their weekday counterparts.
The so-called "weekend effect" on patient outcomes has been well documented in cases of heart attack, stroke and aneurism treatment, Hopkins investigators say, and the new research now affirms the problem in ...
'Theranostic' imaging offers means of killing prostate cancer cells
2012-08-10
Experimenting with human prostate cancer cells and mice, cancer imaging experts at Johns Hopkins say they have developed a method for finding and killing malignant cells while sparing healthy ones.
The method, called theranostic imaging, targets and tracks potent drug therapies directly and only to cancer cells. It relies on binding an originally inactive form of drug chemotherapy, with an enzyme, to specific proteins on tumor cell surfaces and detecting the drug's absorption into the tumor. The binding of the highly specific drug-protein complex, or nanoplex, to the ...
Rooting out rumors, epidemics, and crime -- with math
2012-08-10
Investigators are well aware of how difficult it is to trace an unlawful act to its source. The job was arguably easier with old, Mafia-style criminal organizations, as their hierarchical structures more or less resembled predictable family trees.
In the Internet age, however, the networks used by organized criminals have changed. Innumerable nodes and connections escalate the complexity of these networks, making it ever more difficult to root out the guilty party. EPFL researcher Pedro Pinto of the Audiovisual Communications Laboratory and his colleagues have developed ...
Attitudes toward outdoor smoking ban at moffitt Cancer Center evaluated
2012-08-10
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center who surveyed employees and patients about a ban on outdoor smoking at the cancer center found that 86 percent of non-smokers supported the ban, as did 20 percent of the employees who were smokers. Fifty-seven percent of patients who were smokers also favored the ban.
The study appeared in a recent issue of the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice.
"Policies restricting indoor worksite tobacco use have become common over the last 10 years, but smoking bans have been expanding to include outdoor smoking, with hospitals ...
Physicists explore properties of electrons in revolutionary material
2012-08-10
ATLANTA – Scientists from Georgia State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology have found a new way to examine certain properties of electrons in graphene – a very thin material that may hold the key to new technologies in computing and other fields.
Ramesh Mani, associate professor of physics at GSU, working in collaboration with Walter de Heer, Regents' Professor of physics at Georgia Tech, measured the spin properties of the electrons in graphene, a material made of carbon atoms that is only one atom thick.
The research was published this week in the ...
Thinking about giving, not receiving, motivates people to help others
2012-08-10
We're often told to 'count our blessings' and be grateful for what we have. And research shows that doing so makes us happier. But will it actually change our behavior towards others?
A new study published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, suggests that thinking about what we've given, rather than what we've received, may lead us to be more helpful toward others.
Researchers Adam Grant of The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Jane Dutton of The Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan wanted ...
Experts issue recommendations for treating thyroid dysfunction during and after pregnancy
2012-08-10
Chevy Chase, MD—The Endocrine Society has made revisions to its 2007 Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for management of thyroid disease during pregnancy and postpartum. The CPG provides recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of patients with thyroid-related medical issues just before and during pregnancy and in the postpartum interval.
Thyroid hormone contributes critically to normal fetal brain development and having too little or too much of this hormone can impact both mother and fetus. Hypothyroid women are more likely to experience infertility and have an ...
Populations survive despite many deleterious mutations
2012-08-10
This press release is available in German.
From protozoans to mammals, evolution has created more and more complex structures and better-adapted organisms. This is all the more astonishing as most genetic mutations are deleterious. Especially in small asexual populations that do not recombine their genes, unfavourable mutations can accumulate. This process is known as Muller's ratchet in evolutionary biology. The ratchet, proposed by the American geneticist Hermann Joseph Muller, predicts that the genome deteriorates irreversibly, leaving populations on a one-way street ...
