MORE THAN EVER, COLORECTAL CANCER IS A PERSONAL MATTER. Today, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States,* but that may be changing. Research shows that knowing the genetic and molecular makeup of your colorectal tumor may lead to safer, more effective treatment, just for you. Make it personal. It’s your tumor. Talk to your doctor about testing your tumor. Speak up. Ask questions. Go to SU2C.org/colorectalcancer to learn more.

Poaceae) De México Species Richness, Classification and a Checklist of the Grasses (Poaceae) of Mexico
Artículo de investigación Riqueza de especies, clasificación y listado de las gramíneas (Poaceae) de México Species richness, classification and a checklist of the grasses (Poaceae) of Mexico J. Gabriel Sánchez-Ken Resumen: Antecedentes y Objetivos: En 2006 se dio a conocer el catálogo de las gramíneas de México, pero desde entonces tanto la clasificación como la apa- rición de especies nuevas cambiaron las cifras de esta familia en México y en el mundo. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue actualizar la lista de taxa en México, reuniendo el mayor número posible de bases de datos en línea. Otros objetivos incluyeron la comparación de la riqueza de especies de la familia Poaceae entre los países con mayor diversidad, así como analizar la riqueza de sus taxa a nivel estatal y por categorías taxonómicas. Métodos: Se consultaron bases de datos en línea, tanto nacionales como extranjeras, que incluían ejemplares de referencia de México, se descarga- ron y se curaron, además de una confirmación visual de la identidad de un gran porcentaje de ejemplares. Se extrajeron los nombres de las especies, estados donde fueron colectadas y los acrónimos de los herbarios. La base resultante se complementó solo con bibliografía a partir de 2006 y la no incluida en el catálogo que mostraba ejemplares de respaldo. Resultados clave: Se revisaron 227,973 registros que contabilizaron, en total, 1416 taxa, que incluyen 215 géneros, 1312 especies y 214 categorías infraespecíficas. Del total de especies, 1092 se consideran nativas y 224 introducidas (cultivadas y/o malezas). Las especies endémicas de México son 304 (27.83%) o 311 (28.10%) si se consideran categorías inferiores. -

Tidal Marsh Stressors
Tidal Marsh Stressors Lack of oxygen (anoxia) Salt Irradiation Temperature What is Necessary for Plant Growth? - pH (~4 to 8); - water - structural support - minerals and nutrients Macronutrients (C HOPKNS CaFe Mg) (Nutrients must be in a chemical form that plants can use.) - Cation exchange capacity pH (~4 to 8) Amount of H+ available in soils (think acid-base. Higher the number, the more H + present and the more BASIC solution is. Lower are more ACIDIC.) Most microbes cannot tolerate extremes. High or low pH kills most microbes and plants. Water - provides nutrients that is absorbed by hair roots - cools plant and may remove toxic chemicals such as Na. - provides H+ ion needed for PS. Macronutrients (C HOPKNS CaFe Mg) C= main organic building block H= PS and also part of organic building block O= important in PS (main electron acceptor) Phosphate (P), Potasium (K) and Nitrogen (N) = important growth nutrients. (Note: N is limited nutrient in salt marshes, P in tidal freshwater.) Macronutrients (S CaFe Mg) S= Formation of chlorophyll, protein production, and activation of enzymes (toxic in reduced form!) Ca= responsible for holding together the cell walls of plants Fe= involved in the synthesis of chlorophyll and maintanence of chloroplast structure (toxic in reduced form!) Mg=central atom of the chlorophyll molecule Remember, ALL nutrients must be in a chemical form that plants can use.) Unfortunately, in both terrestrial systems and marshes, most of the nutrients are not in usable forms! Fortunately, however, microbes can use the forms that are “unusable’ by plants and “remineralize” these nutrients into usable forms. -

South Carolina Educational Opportunity Programs Week 4 GREENVILLE, SPARTANBURG, CHEROKEE, & UNION Monday, September 17 – Friday, September 21
South Carolina Educational Opportunity Programs Week 4 GREENVILLE, SPARTANBURG, CHEROKEE, & UNION Monday, September 17 – Friday, September 21 1 Carolinas Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (Code of Ethics) The purpose of an Ed-Op Program is to provide a chance for high school students, particularly juniors and seniors, to be exposed to many different educational opportunities and to explore specific interests. 1. It is the responsibility of each college or university to inform any person (who represents that institution) of the CACRAO Code of Ethics which will be in effect at all CACRAO sponsored Educational Opportunity Programs. Each institutional representative must respect the rights of other institutions. ● One official representative is considered adequate at an Educational Opportunity Program. If more than one representative is needed, those present must confine all activities to the assigned space. ● Group presentations are not condoned in arena settings where a number of institutions share common quarters. Such presentations discourage students from exploring all of their options. ● The use of overly conspicuous exhibits as promotional devices are prohibited, i.e. (videos, large pictorial displays, balloons…) ● Distributed educational information must be limited to printed materials which are accurate and tasteful. Handouts such as key chains, balloons, pens, pennants, and foods are not acceptable. ● Applications for admissions may be distributed, but not completed at Educational Opportunity Programs. ● CACRAO members should display the highest levels of decorum and avoid any unprofessional behavior that would disgrace the CACRAO organization or that would infringe upon the rights of their fellow members. 2. School counselors are encouraged to limit program invitations to CACRAO members and other degree-granting institutions.
