FULLERTON, CA, January 18, 2013 (Press-News.org) The Fullerton Technology Foundation is proud to announce the third annual wine auction fundraiser event on June 1st, 2013 at the Fullerton Arboretum. The fundraiser will support technology for the Fullerton School District, providing electronic devices such as laptops, digital cameras, iPads, digital microscopes, sound systems and interactive boards.

Thanks to the support and generosity of the Sugarman Family Trust, the Foundation has raised close to $2 million dollars since they began six years ago. Both Hilda Sugarman (President of the Foundation) and her son Jason, provided start-up funds of $250,000 to ensure the Foundation get off on a good start.

Jason Sugarman and Chevron came up with the idea for the wine auction and brought in some of the most influential business leaders in Orange County to contribute to the live auctions.

"Jason personally gets amazing live auction items donated and brings amazing guests that are supportive and generous," President Hilda Sugarman states.

In 2011, the wine auction generated $85,000 of revenue for the charity. "Toast to Learning" wine auction in 2012, held at the Fullerton Arborteum, raised approximately $125,000 due to Jason Sugarman and the Sugarman family's efforts to contribute to the school year.

"Jason is exemplary - people should be doing what he is doing," said Hilda Sugarman. "He is an example of someone who realizes the needs in public education and is generous to support those schools that got him where he is today." Mrs. Sugarman added, "Not enough people give back to their schools."

To this day, Jason Sugarman and the Sugarman family make every effort to support the Fullerton Technology Foundation.

As colorectal cancer gets more aggressive, treatment with grape seed extract is even more effective

2013-01-17

When the going gets tough, grape seed extract gets going: A University of Colorado Cancer Center study recently published in the journal Cancer Letters shows that the more advanced are colorectal cancer cells, the more GSE inhibits their growth and survival. On the other end of the disease spectrum, GSE leaves healthy cells alone entirely. "We've known for quite a while that the bioactive compounds in grape seed extract selectively target many types of cancer cells. This study shows that many of the same mutations that allow colorectal cancer cells to metastasize and ...

Photovoltaics beat biofuels at converting sun's energy to miles driven

2013-01-17

In 2005, President George W. Bush and American corn farmers saw corn ethanol as a promising fossil fuel substitute that would reduce both American dependence on foreign oil and greenhouse gas emissions. Accordingly, the 2005 energy bill mandated that 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel be added to the gasoline supply in 2006. That rose to 4.7 billion gallons in 2007 and 7.5 billion in 2012. Since then, life cycle assessments (LCAs) have shown that corn ethanol has modest if any effect on reducing CO2 emissions and may actually increase them, while posing a threat to natural ...

Quail really know their camouflage

2013-01-17

When it comes to camouflage, ground-nesting Japanese quail are experts. That's based on new evidence published online on January 17 in Current Biology that mother quail "know" the patterning of their own eggs and choose laying spots to hide them best. "Not only are the eggs camouflaged, but the birds choose to lay their eggs on a substrate that maximizes camouflage," said P. George Lovell of Abertay University and the University of St Andrews. "Furthermore, the maximization seems specific to individual birds." Karen Spencer, also of University of St Andrews and a co-author, ...
