Ebola Update: NIH Testing of a Potential Ebola Vaccine Set to Begin this Fall
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health, is set to begin an early-stage clinical trial for a vaccine to protect against the Ebola virus. The trial should begin as early as September. The vaccine to be tested was developed by the NIAID's Group Health Research Center in Seattle and does not contain infectious Ebola virus material. Instead, it's what is known as an adenovirus vector vaccine containing an insert of two Ebola genes. The vaccine works by entering a cell and delivering the new genetic material, causing a protein expression that activates an immune response in the body. Researchers have seen success with studies in primates.
The vaccine being tested is not the experimental serum that was used on two Ebola-infected health workers recently evacuated from Liberia. In those cases, Samaritan's Purse, the aid organization that sent the health workers to Africa, contacted officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Liberia to discuss the status of various experimental treatments they had identified through a medical literature search. CDC officials referred them to an NIH scientist in West Africa familiar with experimental treatment candidates who was then able to refer them to pharmaceutical companies working on experimental treatments. The serum being used is made by Mapp Biopharmaceutical of San Diego, Calif.

Recommended Reading: 'National Geographic' on the Recent Ebola Outbreak
Since March, several African countries have reported more than 1,000 cases of Ebola virus and more than 670 deaths. During a United Nations Foundation briefing in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, public health experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization raised concerns about airline passengers from these countries spreading Ebola well beyond Africa. This week that fear became a reality when a U.S. citizen, Paul Sawyer, who had been in Liberia very recently as a consultant to the country's finance ministry, fell ill on a flight from Liberia to Nigeria. Sawyer was hospitalized in Lagos, Nigeria, and died there of Ebola.
Several West African nations have responded by planning to set up monitoring stations at airports to identify people with fevers before they board planes. On a CDC conference call this week with reporters, Martin Cetron, MD, the CDC's director for Global Migration and Quarantine, said it makes more sense to put checkpoints in West African countries than to scan incoming passengers in the United States because there are few direct flights from West Africa, and fevers found among passengers entering the United States are unlikely to be Ebola.
"Ebola is contagious only when symptomatic, so someone unknowingly harboring the virus would not pass it on, " said Stephan Monroe, deputy director of the CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, during the conference call, also adding that even passengers showing symptoms are unlikely to pass the disease on to fellow travelers because blood and stool carry the most viruses. Cetron also said that those at highest risk for Ebola infection are family members who care for sick loved ones and health care workers who treat patients or accidentally stick themselves with infected needles.
"We do not anticipate [Ebola] will spread in the U.S. if an infected person is hospitalized here," CDC Director Tom Frieden told reporters. "We are taking action now by alerting health care workers in the U.S. and reminding them how to isolate and test suspected patients while following strict infection-control procedures."

Wellness Rocks: National Prevention Council Releases its Third Annual Report
This week, the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council (National Prevention Council) submitted its annual status report to the President and designated Congressional committees describing national progress in meeting specific prevention, health promotion and public health goals defined in the National Prevention Strategy first released three years ago. The National Prevention Strategy is required under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and has the overarching goal of increasing the number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life.
The goal of the annual report is to show how cabinet-level agencies are working across the federal government to incorporate health in diverse sectors—such as housing, transportation and education—to advance the National Prevention Strategy and influence the health of individuals, families and communities. The status report also highlights how private- and public-sector partners across the country are advancing the National Prevention Strategy in organizations ranging from health care systems to national foundations.
Federal agency highlights for the past twelve months include:
- Continued support for smoke-free housing by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
- Smoking cessation initiatives by the U.S. Department of Defense for its troops and their families
- Pedestrian safety promotion efforts from the U.S. Department of Transportation
- School-based healthy food initiatives from the U.S. Department of Education
The report also includes status updates from several partner organization promoting health and wellness, including the American Public Health Association; the Henry Ford Health System; the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services; and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The health promotion efforts of these organizations over the last year includes the fifth annual release of the County Health Rankings, which shows how health is influenced by where we live, learn, work and play.

Public Health Campaign of the Month: National Crime Prevention Council, AAP Campaigns Urge Firearm Safety
NewPublicHealth continues a new series to highlight some of the best public health education and outreach campaigns every month. Submit your ideas for Public Health Campaign of the Month to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Two national multimedia campaigns are urging precautions and safe practices when it comes to firearms and children.
The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC)—in partnership with the Ad Council and funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance—has launched the Safe Firearms Storage campaign to encourage owners to make safe firearms storage a priority. According to a study by the RAND Corporation, about 1.4 million homes have firearms stored in a way that makes them accessible to children, at–risk youth, potential thieves and people who could harm themselves or others.
"We teach all drivers to buckle up in case of accidents and to lock their cars," said Ann M. Harkins, President and CEO of the NCPC. "The same logic applies to this campaign; we want owners to lock up their firearms to prevent accidents and keep them out of the wrong hands. Safe storage ensures that owners are doing their part to increase public safety."
In addition to a website, the NCPC campaign features television, radio, print, outdoor and online PSAs that call on firearms owners to use safety devices such as trigger locks, as well as to store ammunition in a separate locked container. A "Snapguide" illustrates options for properly storing a firearm in a household, and the website also offers resources to help firearm owners talk with their children about firearm safety.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), in partnership with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, is also making a beginning-of-summer push as part of its ongoing ASK campaign—"Asking Saves Kids"—to remind parents to ask whether there is an unlocked, loaded gun in a home before a child goes on a play date. A response of "yes" should be followed with questions about where the gun is and whether the children will be supervised. Concerned parents should then not be afraid to suggest the children play somewhere else, such as a playground or another home without a gun.
Faces of Public Health: Dorothy Edwards, Green Dot etc.
A report from a White House Task Force on sexual assaults on campus several weeks ago found that one in five women have been attacked, but only about 12 percent of the attacks are ever reported, often because of a campus climate that places blame on women and sends messages to men that sexual attacks are manly. The task force is asking colleges and universities to survey their students about sexual assault and other "campus climate" issues, and to track assaults and enforcement of campus policies that govern such assaults.
One idea gaining traction for reducing sexual assaults is called bystander intervention, which not only trains individuals to find safe ways to help prevent assaults, but seeks to change the campus cultures that can condone attacks.
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Dorothy Edwards, executive director of Green Dot etc., which provides training for high schools and colleges on bystander intervention.
NewPublicHealth: Where does the name Green Dot come from?
Dorothy Edwards: Well, two different ways. I started my career in the field in Texas and for whatever reason for Sexual Assault Awareness Month green was the color of the ribbons. What was more intentional was the "dots" piece. That came out of one of the challenges in mobilizing bystanders to prevention, which is that this issue feels so big. People have been hearing about it for decades and I think there's a kind of resignation that has settled in. Because when you hear the same number over and over and programs come and programs go and it's an issue this big, people can just feel that there's nothing they can do about it. "I'm one person, I can't change this."
So, one of the original challenges when we were playing with this idea of bystander intervention and highlighting more the integral role of this kind of third character—apart from victim and perpetrator—was that we knew in order for it to be effective it wasn't just about skill and knowledge, it was about giving people a sense of possibility, giving people a sense of manageability. And when you say the word dot, a dot is small. So instead of saying we've got to change the whole culture, we've got to change all college campuses, we've got to change sexual assault—which feels so big—we can say to people, gosh, all we need you to actually deal with is a single green dot, a single moment, a single choice. And suddenly something very big feels very small and manageable
Public Heath Campaign of the Month: 'Know: BRCA'
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has launched three very pink infographics aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer among young women who may not realize they can be at risk for the disease—usually because of a gene mutation inherited from their mother or father.
The campaign, called "Know:BRCA" uses pink for all three of the new infographics because that color is widely identified with breast cancer awareness campaigns. The graphics focus on:
- Knowing about BRCA1 and BRCA2
- Knowing that everyone has BRCA genes
- Knowing your genetic risk factors
According to the CDC, most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old or older. However, each year in the United States about 9,000 women younger than 40 are diagnosed with breast cancer. In this younger group the cancer is generally more aggressive, found at a later stage, has lower survival rates and can often be linked to a mutation in one or two genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2.
Usually the BRCA genes protect people from cancer, but mutations to the genes can increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in general and especially in younger women. Discussions with physicians and genetics counselors about family history of breast and ovarian cancer can determine the need to test for the gene mutations. And if the tests are positive, health care experts may advise preventive treatment to help avoid breast and ovarian cancer, such as long-term medication or prophylactic mastectomy—the surgery actress Angelina Jolie chose last year because of her family history of breast cancer.
Without treatment, women with a BRCA gene mutation are seven times more likely to get breast cancer and 30 times more likely to get ovarian cancer before age 70 than other women.
The goal of the new infographics is to encourage women to learn their family history of cancer and then talk to their doctor if they have:
- Multiple relatives with breast cancer
- Any relatives with ovarian cancer
- Relatives who were diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer before age 50
The CDC also recently released a new physician tool to help doctors advise young patients about BRCA testing and prophylactic treatment.

Hypertension 'Kills More People Around the World than Anything Else'
"Hypertension affects nearly one in three adults and kills more people around the world than anything else. It is both too common and too often poorly controlled."
So said Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), during a panel discussion at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hypertension (ASH) this past weekend. The panel was convened by ASH, the American Heart Association and the CDC to launch a project supporting improved control of hypertension worldwide. According to the panel an estimated 970 million people have hypertension worldwide, and the disease is responsible for more than nine million deaths, as hypertension can lead to heart disease and stroke.
Data from the groups finds that rates of hypertension have increased in both developed and developing nations, due in part to an aging population and lifestyles that include high salt diets and low physical activity.
For the developing world, the CDC; the Pan American Health Organization; and other regional and global stakeholders are identifying both cost effective medicines and inexpensive delivery strategies for the drugs to help patients afford and receive them.
In the United States, the Affordable Care Act is expected to increase the number of people on hypertension medications, but despite the availability of coverage for hypertension diagnosis and treatment there remains concern over disparities. A study of more than 16,000 members of the Hispanic community published in the American Journal of Hypertension earlier this year found that while the prevalence of hypertension among Hispanics is nearly equal to that of non-Hispanic whites, diagnosis of the disease is much lower, as is general awareness of its symptoms and treatment options.
"Given the relative ease of identifying hypertension and the availability of low-cost medications, enabling better access to diagnostic and treatment services should be prioritized to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease on Hispanic populations," said Paul Sorlie, MD, the lead author of the study and an epidemiologist with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. "This study gives us the information needed to support the development of policies that can improve this access and, subsequently, the overall health of countless US citizens."

- A map from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington shows hypertension levels for 2001 to 2009 by race and gender.
Public Health Campaign of the Month: 'Save a Minute' Stroke PSA
May is stroke awareness month and a new infographic from the American Stroke Association wants everyone to know minutes count when a stroke hits. The campaign uses research published by the Association this year in the campaign infographic to let people know that for each minute shaved off stroke response in a hospital, patients get back days of healthy living.
The infographic includes the FAST warning signs and symptoms for stroke:
- Face drooping
- Arm weakness
- Speech difficulty
- Time to call 911
>>Bonus Content: The American Stroke Association has a site full of patient education resources on stroke awareness and prevention, including a very effective PSA on body language to help teach the FAST warning signs of stroke. The association also previously created another infographic on the FAST warning signs.
Could States' Efforts to Reduce College Campus Drinking Backfire?
This week Maryland became one of more than a dozen states to ban sales of grain alcohol, also known as extreme-strength alcohol. The drink, which includes the brand name Everclear, is 95 percent pure alcohol. It has no color, taste or smell and so easily mixes—without detection—into juices, soda and punch, making it an effective date rape tool, according to college health officials. And it's cheap. A whole bottle can cost $15, which is a price easily shared among college or younger students.
Banning extreme-strength alcohol is among several initiatives a growing number of states are taking to try to reduce college student deaths, injuries and assaults linked to campus alcohol use. A report published in September by The Maryland Collaborative to Reduce College Drinking and Related Problems, which was formed in 2013 to address problems associated with excessive alcohol consumption on ten college campuses across the state, found that alcohol use of any kind on campuses across the country each year results in 1,800 deaths; 600,000 injuries; 700,000 assaults by someone under the influence; and nearly 1 million rapes and sexual assaults.
Many states, including Maryland, have declared college campus drinking to be a public health emergency that goes well beyond the campus because of the noise, vandalism, car crashes and community injuries and deaths linked to campus drinking each year. Banning grain alcohol was the Maryland Collaborative's first initiative because college students who are binge drinkers—a serious and dangerous issue on campuses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—are 36 times more likely to drink grain alcohol than are non-binge drinkers, according to David H. Jernigan, the director of the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Md.
But some research shows that banning extreme strength alcohol can actually exacerbate the problem by raising awareness of the drink to students who may not have been aware of it before. This can push students in search of grain alcohol to find other high-octane sources, such as privately made moonshine, which can be even more highly concentrated than commercially available grain alcohol and can contain other contaminants, said Laura Forbes, an associate professor of health education at the University of Alabama/Birmingham and chair of the American College Health Association's Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs Coalition.
According to Forbes, what is desperately needed is a campus culture change on alcohol just like the culture change that has reduced smoking on campus; many campuses bans tobacco use outright. Forbes said reaching that goal requires collaborations—such as the one in Maryland—that bring together campus administrators, businesses, student leaders, law enforcement, public health and the community.
"The way to change the culture," she said, "is to start to have a conversation that with students about why they're drinking and to include administrations, faculty, alumni and others in the talks."
Forbes said the culture change won't be a suddenly dry campus. "It will be incremental over time, but each campus has to start the change to where they want to move."

- The Maryland Collaborative has released a best practices guide for reducing campus drinking that includes both individual and campus-wide interventions.
- The CDC recently updated its Alcohol and Public Health website, which now includes new infographics and links to videos, webinars, e-cards and podcasts, as well as a fact sheet on preventing excessive alcohol use, which highlights evidence-based strategies such as those recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force.
My App Says I Can't Eat This
If you're planning on foreign travel then the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) wants to help you find foods that won't bite you back. Can I Eat This? is a free app from the agency that lets users search country-by-country for what's safe to eat and drink. Once you choose the country you'll be eating in—or where you already are, perhaps standing in line deciding what to order—simply tap the food or drink icon and wait for questions specific to that country.
For example, tapping "eating" in Argentina prompts the app to ask whether you'll be buying from a street vendor or a store, and your answers prompt even more questions about the food 's storage and handling. In Bulgaria, tap "drinking" and you'll be asked if there's ice in the drink. Tap "yes" and a scary X will pop up with a warning of "probably not," because the ice is likely made with tap water, which the CDC has identified as a poor safety choice in that country.
Can I Eat This? is available in the Google Play and iOS App stores.

Jessica Chastain and Boyfriend Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo
Jessica Chastain Goes Public With Her Boyfriend at Paris Fashion Week
Jessica Chastain attended Paris Fashion Week yesterday with boyfriend Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo on her arm. She visited the Givenchy show with her man and sat front row next to Amanda Seyfried. Jessica has been quietly dating Gian Luca, who is a fashion executive for French label Moncler, for some time now. The actress only recently started opening up about her private life, saying that she is "very, very happy" with how her relationship is going. Jessica added, "It's a wonderful thing when a career does so well and your personal life does so well."
Although Gian Luca did not attend the Oscars with Jessica — she walked the carpet with her grandmother — that apparently was all part of their plan, as Jessica noted that she doesn't want to "flaunt" her relationship. She isn't the only Hollywood star who has taken up with a handsome fashion executive: Salma Hayek is married to Francois-Henri Pinault, the CEO of fashion conglomerate PPR.

IT'S a new era at Oxford United after a dramatic day at the Kassam Stadium.
Darryl Eales and Mark Ashton's takeover was confirmed, with Ian Lenagan remaining on the board, but now charged with responsibility for the club's 'stadium development' project.
Manager Gary Waddock was sacked, with Michael Appleton replacing him at the helm, while Mr Lenagan's sons, Simon and Adrian, have left the club's board of directors.
Mr Eales becomes chairman, with Mr Ashton the chief executive in a potentially-pivotal announcement in the history of Oxford United that ends intense speculation over the club's future.
Mr Lenagan, who has been chairman for two years, said the time was right for a change, and believes the added investment from Mr Eales will drive the club forward.
Mr Lenagan said: "It is a big day for Oxford United and these are very exciting times. With more funds now available, in terms of both development and with the new management, it doubles the resources that we have got in order to progress."
He refused to reveal the exact shareholding that he and Mr Eales now hold, except for saying both were 'more than 30 but less than 50 per cent'.
When asked to clarify whether these figures were equal, Mr Lenagan replied: "I don't think it matters. Why on earth does everybody think they have the right to know private business?
"There are two shareholders who have shares between 30 per cent and less than 50. The intricacies of how that operates in a contract is private."
Mr Eales, a Birmingham City fan, is relishing the opportunity of getting into football, and says although Mr Lenagan will no longer be involved in the day-to-day operations, he will still have a big role to play.
He said: "I'm absolutely delighted Ian is staying involved so I can just pick his brains because he will have a huge amount of knowledge I won't have, as has Mark."
Mr Ashton, a former chief executive of Watford and Wycombe Wanderers, was introduced to Mr Eales last year through a mutual acquaintance.
The former West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper believes after briefly looking into other clubs, United fits the bill.
"There's a ton of football clubs that purport to be up for sale and purport to be very well run," said Mr Ashton, who is moving to a property in Woodstock.
"I spoke to Ian probably about a year ago and the one thing he and the Lenagan family have done here, in my opinion, is build solid foundations.
"Whether that's on the football side or the community, or the academy. It fitted perfectly with our model and interpretation of how everything should operate.
"We're all so excited about the opportunity here at Oxford."
While Mr Eales and Mr Ashton will be tasked with driving the club forward on the field, Mr Lenagan's role with the club is now one of trying to secure the ownership of a ground.
He hopes that will be at the Kassam Stadium, but is prepared to look at other options, with a new site at Water Eaton one potential alternative.
From left, Darryl Eales, Ian Lenagan and Mark Ashton outline their plans for the future at yesterday's press conference.
A recent study found all of Oxfordshire's councils need to build 100,000 more homes by 2031.
This means that over the next few months, all will be redrawing their planning policies to take this into account.
Mr Lenagan said: "To take advantage of the immediate opportunity which is planning and development led, it's important we get hold of the stadium.
"I could easily see the long-term future being at the Kassam and I would like it to be there.
"This is the opportunity to make sure that over the next two or three years we are in a location that we have control and ownership of.
"The revenue flowing from that is what will fund long-term our ambition in football terms."
He added: "In terms of buying the stadium, it is the closest we have ever been together – ourselves and Firoka.
"We are probably closer because we are sharing an opportunity for this place to be zoned, with the city council backing it and Oxford United being the centre of the community.
"It's almost a marriage made in heaven.
"But we have always said that terms and price have to be right and we are very close to that situation as far as the Kassam is concerned."
A rival takeover bid from a consortium led by Charlie Methven was submitted on Thursday, but Mr Lenagan said that their interest was never a factor.
"The new investors are prepared to be involved with the club on the basis that a stadium deal is probably going to happen," he said.
"We did finally get a bid from another group but that was conditional on us having done the deal on the stadium already.
"Darryl is quite prepared to take the risk and move forward.
"Charlie and his group are nice people and they are welcome to come and talk to us if they wish to do so and if they wish to inject further finances to make things go quicker, of course we'd be delighted to speak."
In the latest accounts, which cover the 12 months up to June last year, United owe Lenagan's Woodstock Partners Ltd £6.1m, which increased further last year.
Mr Lenagan said: "The debt remains but there are very comprehensive arrangements in place to make sure that Oxford United is taken well care of between the two principle shareholders and there are many options beyond the debt.
"They are putting real significant investment into the club, although I'm not giving you figures.
"That investment is in addition to that debt. Darryl is putting extra money into the business."
New boss Mr Appleton will meet the Oxford United players – and the media – for the first time on Monday.

Being the market leader in the fastest growing sector of the photographic market is a tough title to hold on to, especially with most major camera manufacturers announcing new entry-level products this year.

Identive Reports 2013 Third Quarter Results
SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, Nov. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Identive (Nasdaq:INVE) (Frankfurt:INV) reported its financial results for the third quarter (Q3) ended September 30, 2013.
Highlights of the quarter included:
- New management team begins simplification and focus of business
- 14% revenue growth year over year
- Achievement of $0.6 million adjusted EBITDA
- Gross proceeds from private placement of $7.1 million
- Strong demand for our cloud-based SaaS and NFC consumer products.
- Goodwill impairment related to non-strategic assets and U.S. Federal Government physical access business
Jason Hart, the newly appointed chief executive officer of Identive, said, "In the last two months we have been focused on simplifying Identive Group's business at all levels. Philosophically and practically we are converting from a group of individual businesses into a single, unified company focused on our high growth product lines. These changes are not complete but are resulting in operational costs savings and lower compliance costs, and are expected to improve our revenue with focused investment in a single global product and sales organization. Our improved performance in Q3 is a positive backdrop to our transition and we are encouraged by the strong demand for our consumer and cloud security products.
"During the third quarter we received new orders for our cloud-based services, including a three-year contract to issue and manage trusted credentials for an international government's healthcare program and the expansion of activities with a U.S. based Fortune 100 company. Our trusted NFC consumer products enjoyed increasing demand with the popularity of NFC enabled toys for video games. We expect that this trend will continue into Q4 and throughout 2014. Our overall sales backlog has continued to increase and we entered Q4 with committed orders and accounts receivables that represent nearly 40% of our annual revenues, which speaks to the fundamental strength of our sales offerings and pipeline for our trusted solutions."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Thruway Authority working on cuts
- Staff Albany Business Review
With the threat of New York State Thruway Authority toll hikes off the table, officials are still looking at ways to cut costs.
Everything is on the table, according to board members of the Thruway Authority, including jobs, The Business Journals is reporting.
The Thruway Authority has a long road ahead of it — figuring out how to keep its budget balanced and roadways clear.
After a proposed toll hike fell through, the Thruway Authority is now at square one when it comes to potential cuts.
Donna Luh, a Thruway Authority board member, said that includes "Hundreds of millions of dollars in operating and capital expenses in 2012, and we're planning additional cuts in the future."
Thousands of employees have also been told about plans to streamline, eliminate vacant positions and a hiring freeze.

Hola guys,
I'm leaving this here because there are a lot of devs around, and I believe it might be helpful for some. I am in the process of developing my new plugin which heavily relies on JS, so I wanted to use the power of filters and actions WordPress has, in my JS.
As a result, I've written this small, quite simple, but (to me) very useful script.
Usage is explained in the readme, let me know if something is unclear and feel free to use and abuse it.
onioneye saidHi,
This looks great! I really want to use it, but your demo is not working on my iOS devices. Any idea why this is happening?
iDevices are known to have problems when iframe is used like this, so I disable it on all mobile devices (tablets too) (disable as in I redirect directly to product page without iframe), as posted here: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/switcheroo-open-source-item-switcher/111182?page=3#message_content_907622
You can easily disable this (switcher is fully responsive so no problem on that part) by removing the snippet from js, but if you do, I would suggest thorough testing.
Ok my mistake, looks like you will have to modify iframe content in the end, since the scrollbar is on the iframe and not on it. You can do that if the iframe is on the same domain, check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/364952/jquery-javascript-accessing-contents-of-an-iframe
KomiDesign saidHi there,
Great job! One question: Is it possible to insert an empty div inside the iframe? i tried but no success. The reason why i ask this is that i want to add this plugin http://jamesflorentino.github.io/nanoScrollerJS/ ,to customize to scrollbar.
well you could do it if the iframe is on the same domain but no point in messing with that, try something like this: http://manos.malihu.gr/jquery-custom-content-scroller/
You just apply it on iframe element.
pixelgrade said
When will Envato add WordPress 3.8 to the compatibility list?
I have already messaged them about that, they said it's coming soon.
Note: this has nothing to do with Envato or general marketplace, the one responsible for that is the author of the theme you purchased, so I would suggest contacting him.
Typps said
Also a congrats to OriginalEXE for contributing in this release ( read something about it in another post on here )
New dashboard is great if you ask me, I've been using it for quite some time as it was available in form of the plugin (mp6) and I am very happy to see it live now.
revaxarts saidNot that I know of.
OriginalEXE saidNo? So there's simple NO way to buy a (kind of) multisite license?
Note that even if they bought the extended licence, it does not grant them multisite licence, it's still restricted to one install.

No. 19 Illinois hoping to stay perfect at Indiana
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP)
Indiana coach Kevin Wilson is on cleanup duty.
He expects his team to block better, protect better, play with better fundamentals and make fewer mistakes on defense. And he needs it fixed now with No. 19 Illinois coming to town.
''We have way too many mental errors, way too many, way too many loafs, guys not playing as hard as they can play,'' the blunt-talking coach said while critiquing his team. ''My way of fixing things is we continue to practice and practice hard. Keep practicing in a lethargic way, you're going to play in a lethargic way.''
Wilson is doing anything he can to get it right.
He's changed the lineup, created open competition for jobs, asked upperclassmen to provide more leadership, played 16 true freshmen and watched six players already leave the program since the season began.
It hasn't worked yet. The Hoosiers are still struggling to score touchdowns and stop opponents.
Wilson also understands this is more than a five-week project and that he can't change the message midway through the season, especially given the upcoming gauntlet.
The trek begins Saturday when the Illini (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) visit Bloomington. Then Indiana (1-4, 0-1) heads to No. 4 Wisconsin, followed by a trip to Iowa. After that, there is Northwestern, back-to-back trips to Ohio State and Michigan State before closing against archrival Purdue.
So there's no time to waste.
Illinois is off to its best start since the 1951 team started 7-0 and will try to stay in the group of 15 undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
''In my opinion, they're well-tested, they're playing good games and they deserve all the accolades they're getting and that's not blowing smoke,'' Wilson said of Illinois. ''Game 2 in the Big Ten will be a big challenge for us.''
On paper, it looks like a mismatch.
But appearances can be deceiving.
Illinois' last three wins have come by three or fewer points, the first time that's happened in school history, and Saturday marks the first time Illinois hits the road this season. The Illini are just 2-5 in their last seven trips to Indiana.
Coach Ron Zook called the Illini's practices Monday and Tuesday their best of the season.
''They know it's going to take that kind of effort to get where we need to go and be - and make sure that we're ready to play when we go over there,'' Zook said.
Illinois seems to have the perfect combination to expose the Hoosiers' biggest weaknesses.
Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase threw for a career-high 391 yards and three touchdowns in last week's comeback victory over Northwestern. Reciever A.J. Jenkins set a new school record with 268 yards and tied another with three TD catches. It could be a dangerous combination against a defense that Wilson acknowledged blew coverage assignments against Penn State.
Plus, the Illini are averaging 209.8 yards on the ground and now face the Big Ten's worst-ranked run defense.
It's not just the offense that has an advantage.
While Wilson has bemoaned the fact that Indiana's receivers had seven drops last week and that he needs the running backs to pick up extra yards after getting hit, the most consistent problem has been the offensive line.
This week's test may be the most difficult.
Illinois leads the Big Ten with 17 sacks and went into the weekend No. 5 in the nation.
''After some of the losses they've had, I'm sure they're going to be fired up. They're playing a ranked team and we can't take them lightly,'' said Michael Buchanan, Illinois' pass rush specialist. ''I think it's really important to just get pressure on the guys.''
Wilson, meanwhile, is trying to figure out who can play.
Last week's starting quarterback Dusty Kiel got dinged up in the Penn State loss but is likely to start again unless Edward Wright-Baker recovers from an ankle injury. Top rusher D'Angelo Roberts missed last week's game with a concussion. Three of Indiana's top three receivers - Damarlo Belcher, Kofi Hughes and Duwyce Wilson - have been playing through nagging injuries, too.
But even if the Hoosiers are at full strength, they still have to eliminate the mistakes.
''We're making strides on that (the defensive) side,'' Wilson said. ''I still think for the standard that we need, short term and long term, it's going to be a tremendous challenge this week and it needs to be a heck of a lot better.''

A blood clot behind the knee may indicate deep vein thrombosis, a condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein, which sometimes leads to a fatal condition called a pulmonary embolism. According to John Muir Health, a pulmonary embolism causes a sudden blockage in a lung artery due to a clot that breaks free and travels from the leg. See a doctor if a blood clot is suspected.
Know MoreWebMD states that a deep vein thrombosis may occur anywhere in the body but typically occurs in the leg, thigh or pelvis. Post-surgical patients and long-distance travelers often find themselves at risk of a blood clot. John Muir Health also explains that anyone may develop a blood clot, but people most at risk include those with cardiovascular disease and a family history of DVT. Other risk factors include obesity, sitting for long periods of time and injuries to the vein from major surgery, fractures or severe muscle injury. People with increased estrogen levels due to birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy or having given birth in the past six weeks also have a higher risk of blood clots. WebMD also mentions that an injury that reduces blood flow to part of the body such as a broken hip or leg may also cause a clot.
Learn MoreA blood clot in the leg, known as deep vein thrombosis or DVT, makes the leg tender, painful and swollen. It can be hard to walk around on the leg if the blood clot has damaged the vessel's valves, according to WebMD. The leg may be warm to the touch or discolored. DVT can also have no symptoms at all, according to the Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis Treatment Center.
Full Answer >According to MedlinePlus, a blood clot in the leg, also known as a deep vein thrombosis, is treated with anticoagulants, blood thinners, pressure stockings or surgery. Wikipedia also lists exercise, aspirin and intermittent pneumatic compression as possible treatment options.
Full Answer >Pain behind the knee can indicate a blood clot in the leg, also referred to as deep vein thrombosis, according to Healthgrades. It is imperative for individuals with pain behind the knee that is accompanied by swelling or bruising to seek immediate medical attention.
Full Answer >Large blood clots in the legs can cause symptoms such as leg redness and warmth, leg swelling, and leg pain that worsens when standing up or walking, according to ClotCare. While blood clots located below the knee are unlikely to cause complications, clots that start or extend above the knee sometimes break away, travel through the blood and block blood vessels in the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

For voice and three instruments (one of which must have a sustaining pedal e.g. Vibraphone, Cimbalom, Celesta or Piano). Each performer will need a copy of the performing score.The music is based on the work of the same title by the Medieval French poet and composer, Guillaume de Machaut.

Why May 9 will be a date to watch in Ukraine
tags: World War II, Nazis, Russia, Ukraine, USSRIt'd be tough to overstate how much World War II still resonates in Russia. Take its naming: It's no "Second World War" in Russia, it's The Great Patriotic War. Then consider the death toll: 27 million Soviet citizens dead, according to one estimate. Horrifying events that took place on Russian soil, such as the Siege of Leningrad and the Battle of Stalingrad, are not forgotten.
This week, that's especially important. Remember that in Russia, May 9 is Victory Day: the anniversary of the day that the Soviet Union announced that Nazi Germany had surrendered. And Victory Day isn't just a big day for Russia. It's a big day for all former members of the Soviet Union who fought together in the war. This year, it may be an exceptionally complicated day for one country in particular: Ukraine.
In the past, Ukraine and Russia have celebrated Victory Day together on May 9 – for example, on May 9, 2010, Russian and Ukrainian sailors in Sevastopol marched in a joint parade to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the day on the orders of then-President Viktor Yanukovych.
But there's also been controversy. To some Ukrainians, World War II was a fight against both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Ukrainian nationalists fought against the Soviet army at some points during World War II — some, such as nationalist idol Stepan Bandera, sided with Nazi Germany for part of it. Even before the Euromaidan protests spun Ukraine into crisis, there was contention over the history: In 2011, Yanukovych revoked a "Hero of Ukraine" award that had been given to Bandera by his predecessor and criticized the Western city of Lviv for failing to celebrate Victory Day appropriately.
