EBOLA UPDATE: HHS Partners with Mapp Biopharmaceutical on Development of Ebola Treatments
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has contracted with Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. for the development of an Ebola treatment. The funding will come through the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Under the 18-month, $24.9 million contract, Mapp will also continue the development and manufacture of its existing Ebola drug, ZMapp, which was used to successfully treat two Americans who were infected in the outbreak in West Africa. "While ZMapp has received a lot of attention, it is one of several treatments under development for Ebola, and we still have very limited data on its safety and efficacy," said Nicole Lurie, MD, assistant secretary for preparedness and response, in a release. "Developing drugs and vaccines to protect against Ebola as a biological threat has been a long-term goal of the U.S. government, and today's agreement represents an important step forward."

CVS Announces All Stores are Now Tobacco Free
Tobacco products are no longer sold at any of the approximately 7,700 CVS/pharmacy locations, the company announced today, almost a month ahead of its planned tobacco-free schedule. The company also announced that is has changed its corporate name to CVS Health. "Every day, all across the country, customers and patients place their trust in our 26,000 pharmacists and nurse practitioners to serve their health care needs," said Helena B. Foulkes, President of CVS/pharmacy, in a release. "The removal of cigarette and other tobacco products from our stores is an important step in helping Americans to quit smoking and get healthy."

Study: Double Mastectomies and Lumpectomies Carry Similar Survival Rates
Double mastectomies for early stage breast cancer are no more effective than lumpectomies at improving survival rates, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Analyzing data on more than 189,000 patients in California, researchers found that while the percentage of women who opted for double mastectomies climbed from 2 percent in 1998 to 12.3 percent in 2011—and that in 2011 approximately one-third of patients younger than 40 chose to have a double mastectomy rather than the potentially breast-conserving lumpectomy—the death rates for the two treatments were similar. The researchers said their findings are especially significant for women at average risk. Read more on cancer.

EBOLA UPDATE: Roundup of the Latest News Out of West Africa
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
As the death toll continues to rise, here's a look at some of the latest news on the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
- "WHO Moves Team in Sierra Leone After a Medical Worker Contracts Ebola": The global health organization has removed its response teams from a region of Sierra Leone that has been hardest hit by the outbreak due to a Senegalese epidemiologist contracting Ebola.
- "3rd Doctor Dies from Ebola in Sierra Leone": A third top doctor has died in Sierra Leone, and health workers in the country are attempting to determine how a fourth scientist contracted Ebola before being evacuated to Europe.
- "Ebola Outbreak: Nigeria Closes All Schools Until October": Although the academic year was supposed to start this week, Nigeria has ordered the close of all schools until October 13 in order to give staff more training on how to identify potential Ebola cases.

Study: Significant Time Spent Playing Violent Video Games Increases the Risk for Depression in Kids
Significant time spent playing violent video games is linked to a greater risk for depression in preadolescent youth, according to a new study in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking. Researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) examined 5,147 fifth grade students in three major cities and found that kids who play such games for more than two hours per day showed significantly more depression symptoms, including lack of pleasure, lack of interest in activities, concentration difficulties, low energy, low self-worth and suicidal ideation over the past year. "Previous studies have observed how aggression relates to video games, but this is the first to examine the relationship between daily violent video game exposure and depression," said Susan Tortolero, PhD, principal investigator and director of the Prevention Research Center at the UTHealth School of Public Health, in a release. Read more on mental health.
WHO Calls for Stronger Regulation of E-Cigarettes
The World Health Organization (WHO) has joined the American Heart Association and other organizations in calling for stronger regulation of e-cigarettes, which are a $3 billion worldwide industry. WHO is now recommending that their indoor use be banned until they are proven harmless to bystanders; the international health organization is also calling for its 194 member states to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, as well as to ban or minimize their advertising. According to the agency, regulation "is a necessary precondition for establishing a scientific basis on which to judge the effects of their use, and for ensuring that adequate research is conducted and the public health is protected and people made aware of the potential risks and benefits."

EBOLA Update: RWJF Gives $1M to the CDC Foundation's Global Disaster Response Fund
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
In order to assist the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) ongoing efforts to combat the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has given a $1 million grant to the CDC Foundation's Global Disaster Response Fund. The CDC has activated its Emergency Operations Center and deployed more than 70 public health experts in response to the outbreak, which so far has killed more than 1,400 people. "The spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa represents a global public health crisis," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in a release. "We are privileged to assist CDC in its heroic efforts to contain this outbreak, and we are confident of their ability to control this scourge—provided they have the support required to do the job. Additional resources are urgently needed, and we encourage other funders to respond as well." Read more on Ebola.
CDC: More than a Quarter-Million Youth Who Never Smoked Used E-Cigarettes in 2013
More than a quarter-million middle school and high school students who had never smoked regular cigarettes used electronic cigarettes—or e-cigarettes—in 2013, according to a new U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study appearing in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research. The study found that youth who had never smoked traditional cigarettes, but had tried e-cigarettes, were twice as likely to intend to smoke traditional cigarettes than were youth who had never used e-cigarettes. "We are very concerned about nicotine use among our youth, regardless of whether it comes from conventional cigarettes, e-cigarettes or other tobacco products. Not only is nicotine highly addictive, it can harm adolescent brain development." said Tim McAfee, MD, MPH, Director of CDC's Office on Smoking and Health, in a release. Read more on tobacco.
U.S. Veteran Homelessness Down 33 Percent Since 2010
There has been a 33 percent decline in U.S. veteran homelessness and a 40 percent decline in the number of veterans who sleep on the street since 2010, according to new national estimates from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH). The agencies credited evidenced-based practices such as Housing First and other federal programs for the declines. There were an estimated 49,933 homeless veterans in American in January 2014. "We have an obligation to ensure that every veteran has a place to call home," said HUD Secretary Julián Castro, in a release. "In just a few years, we have made incredible progress reducing homelessness among veterans, but we have more work to do. HUD will continue collaborating with our federal and local partners to ensure that all of the men and women who have served our country have a stable home and an opportunity to succeed."

EBOLA UPDATE: Japan Willing to Provide Experimental Treatment Without WHO Approval
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
Japan would be open to providing access to an experimental Ebola treatment before the World Health Organization (WHO) rules on whether to approve the drug, known as T-705 or favipiravir. "I am informed that medical professionals could make a request for T-705 in an emergency even before a decision (on approval) by the WHO. In that case, we would like to respond under certain criteria," said Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga at a news conference. The death toll for the West African outbreak climbed to more than 1,400 over the weekend. Read more on Ebola.
AAP Calls on Later School Opening Times for Students Ages 10 and Older
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is calling for all U.S. schools with students aged 10 to 18 to open no earlier than 8:30 a.m. in order to help kids better manage changes to their body clocks during puberty. Currently only 15 percent of such schools start after that time. "Chronic sleep loss in children and adolescents is one of the most common—and easily fixable—public health issues in the U.S. today," said pediatrician Judith Owens, MD, FAAP, lead author of the policy statement, "School Start Times for Adolescents," in a release. "The research is clear that adolescents who get enough sleep have a reduced risk of being overweight or suffering depression, are less likely to be involved in automobile accidents, and have better grades, higher standardized test scores and an overall better quality of life." Read more on pediatrics.
AHA: E-Cigarettes Should Be Regulated Like Tobacco Products
E-cigarettes should be regulated the same as any tobacco product, according to the American Heart Association's first policy statement on the products. The statement said that e-cigarettes target young people, can keep people hooked on nicotine and threaten to "re-normalize" tobacco use. "Over the last 50 years, 20 million Americans died because of tobacco. We are fiercely committed to preventing the tobacco industry from addicting another generation of smokers," said Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, in a release. "Recent studies raise concerns that e-cigarettes may be a gateway to traditional tobacco products for the nation's youth, and could renormalize smoking in our society." Read more on tobacco.
Helping the Homeless Quit Smoking: Q&A with Michael Businelle and Darla Kendzor, The University of Texas School of Public Health
Not surprisingly, a recent study in the American Journal of Public Health found that homeless smokers struggle with quitting more than economically disadvantaged smokers who have their own housing. The study compared homeless smokers receiving treatment at a shelter-based smoking cessation clinic to people enrolled in a smoking cessation program at a Dallas, Texas, safety-net hospital.
"On average, homeless people reported that they found themselves around about 40 smokers every day, while the group getting cessation care at the hospital reported that they were more likely to be around three to four smokers every day," said Michael S. Businelle, PhD, assistant professor of health promotion and behavioral sciences at The University of Texas School of Public Health Dallas Regional Campus, and the lead author of the study. "Imagine if you had an alcohol problem and were trying to quit drinking—it would be almost impossible to quit if you were surrounded by 40 people drinking every day. That is the situation homeless folks have to overcome when they try to quit smoking."
Businelle said research shows that about 75 percent of homeless people smoke and that smoking is a leading cause of death in this population. And although homeless smokers are just as likely to try to quit smoking as are other smokers, they are far less successful at quitting, according to Businelle's work. He said tailored smoking cessation programs are needed for homeless people, including smoke-free zones in shelters.
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Businelle and his wife, Darla Kendzor, PhD, who is a co-author of the recent study on smoking and the homeless, as well as an assistant professor at The University of Texas.
NPH: Why did you embark on the study?
Michael Businelle: The smoking prevalence in this population is so high and homeless people are not enrolled in clinical trials so we don't know what will work best for them. We've developed, over the last 50 years, really good treatments for the general population of smokers, but there are very few treatments that have been tested in homeless populations.
Darla Kendzor: And cancer and cardiovascular disease, which are in large part due to tobacco smoking, are the leading causes of death among homeless adults. So quitting smoking would make a big difference for them.
Public Health News Roundup: July 16
Proposed Tobacco Merger Could Boost Smoking Rates
The proposed merger of the Reynolds American and Lorillard tobacco companies announced earlier this week could result in increased smoking rates, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "This proposed merger is clearly driven by steep smoking declines in the U.S.," said Matthew L. Myers, president of Tobacco-Free Kids. Myers said cigarette sales fell by 37.1 percent from 2000 to 2013, with the largest decline in 2009, when a 62 cent per-pack increase in the federal cigarette tax was implemented. "Reynolds and Lorillard no doubt hope the economic and political power of a merged company will help them slow or reverse these trends. Elected officials and regulators must be equally aggressive in working to accelerate progress in reducing smoking and other tobacco use." Read more on tobacco.
Health Education Program Also Reduces Youth Dating Violence
A health education program designed to delay sexual behavior and promote healthy data relationships also significantly reduces dating violence behaviors among minority youth, according to a new study in the American Journal of Public Health. Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) analyzed 766 students in 10 middle schools in a large, urban school district in southeast Texas, where 44 percent were African American and 42 percent were Hispanic. They looked at four areas—physical victimization, emotional victimization, physical perpetration and emotional perpetration—finding that the It's Your Game...Keep it Real program reduced all but physical dating violence, which comprised the smallest portion of the program; a revised program with a heavier emphasis on this area is currently being tested in schools. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 10 percent of high school youth are victims of physical dating violence (with ethnic-minority students at increased risk), with other studies indicating that as many as 20 percent are victims of emotional dating violence.

CDC Report Finds High Rates of Youth Fruit, Vegetable Consumption
Approximately 77.1 percent of U.S. youth ages 2-19 years consume fruit on any given day and 92 percent consume vegetables, according to a recent NCHS Data Brief from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, the rate drops as youth age, while at the same time the amount of fruits and vegetables they eat should be increasing. The report used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009–2010. The focused report looked only at whether the foods were consumed, and now how much was consumed.

Recommended Reading: Health Affairs and RWJF Primer on E-Cigarettes
The public comment period for rules regulating the sale and use of e-cigarettes proposed in April by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ends on August 8, after which the agency is expected to release final rules governing the products. Experts say the timing is critical because sales of the products—which weren't even on the market a decade ago—are heating up, with revenues approaching $1 billion a year, according to Forbes Magazine.
Last week, Health Affairs and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) released a health policy brief about e-cigarettes that sets out key issues concerning the products and provides important background, particularly for people poised to comment on the FDA's proposed rules.
Among the issues the policy brief addresses are e-cigarette safety; whether the devices ought to be regulated as a medical (smoking cessation) device or as a cigarette; and whether e-cigarettes pose a risk as a "gateway" drug to tobacco products. It notes that the FDA is currently funding close to 40 studies on e-cigarettes.
The issue is especially critical because sales to kids and teens are increasing, and there is still insufficient information on whether the vapor emitted by the devices pose a cancer risk. A 2013 study of 40,000 middle and high school students around the country by researchers at UC San Francisco found that e-cigarette use in that group doubled between 2011 and 2012, from 3.1 percent to 6.5 percent.

Aspen Ideas Festival: Better Health as Better Business
"Getting cigarettes out of our stores is a first step to making pharmacies a place where health happens," said Troy Brennan, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Caremark Corporation, of the company's decision earlier this year to stop selling tobacco products in its stores. In a Spotlight: Health session at the Aspen Ideas Festival last week, Brennan and other business CEOs discussed how making health a priority can lead to better business outcomes.
By decreasing the number of places that consumers are exposed to cigarettes and eliminating the convenience of tobacco, he said that CVS is actively trying to reduce smoking rates in the areas it serves. However, the healthy decision is also good for the company's bottom line—already the decision has had positive business results that it didn't anticipate, including an increase in the company's stock price following the announcement.
"Companies that make health a priority—consumers gravitate toward that," he said. "That's the business incentive."
Joining Brennan in the conversation, Vitality Institute Executive Director Derek Yach added that the private sector needs to complement public efforts when it comes to health and prevention. For example, taxes and increased prices must work in concert to discourage consumers from unhealthy products or behaviors.
"There may be an economic hit in the short term," said Yach of companies that make healthy choices easier. "But in the long term, businesses are going to get an inflow of customers who know that their values are aligned."
Yach also encouraged using County Health Rankings data to understand the underlying risks in each local area, as businesses are uniquely positioned to tailor their interventions to what the surrounding community needs.

HUD Releases Progress Report on Rebuilding After Hurricane Sandy
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Sandy Program Management Office has issued its first report tracking progress on the Sandy Rebuilding Strategy. "While this report shows we are following through on [our rebuilding commitment] we also recognize that many families and business are still on the road to recovery and delays in connecting them to the services and support they need are often too long," said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan. "Although more work needs to be done, HUD and the federal government will continue coordinating with local officials until the region has recovered and we meet all the goals of the Sandy Rebuilding Strategy."
The report tracks progress on several goals set by HUD, including:
- Promoting resilient rebuilding
- Restoring and strengthening homes and providing families with safe, affordable housing options
- Supporting small businesses and revitalizing local economies
- Addressing insurance challenges and affordability
- Building state and local capacity to plan for and implement long-term recovery and rebuilding
- Improving data sharing between federal, state and local officials

New Report Finds Tobacco Companies Have Made Cigarettes Even More Addictive and Deadly
Design changes and chemical additives introduced by tobacco companies in recent decades have made cigarettes more addictive, more attractive to kids and even more deadly, according to a new report, Designed for Addiction, released by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
The report finds that tobacco companies have:
- Made cigarettes more addictive by controlling and increasing nicotine levels and enhancing the impact of nicotine.
- Made cigarettes more attractive to kids by adding flavorings such as licorice and chocolate that mask the harshness of the smoke, menthol that makes the smoke feel smoother and other chemicals that expand the lungs' airways and make it easier to inhale.
- Added ingredients that make cigarettes even more deadly, according to a Surgeon General's report on tobacco and health, released in January which found that smokers today have a much higher risk of lung cancer than smokers in 1964, when the first Surgeon General's report disclosed the harms caused by smoking.

CDC to Launch Fourth 'Tips From Former Smokers' Series
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will be launching its next "Tips from Former Smokers" series on July 7. The ads will run nationwide for nine weeks on television, radio and billboards, as well as online, in theaters, in magazines and in newspapers. According to the CDC, the Tips national tobacco education campaign has helped hundreds of thousands of smokers quit since it began in 2012.
"These new ads are powerful. They highlight illnesses and suffering caused by smoking that people don't commonly associate with cigarette use," said CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH. "Smokers have told us these ads help them quit by showing what it's like to live every day with disability and disfigurement from smoking."
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, according to the CDC, and kills about 480,000 Americans each year. More than 16 million Americans are living with a smoking-related disease. For every person who dies from a smoking-related disease, about 30 more people suffer at least one serious illness from smoking.
The most recent "Tips" campaign resulted in more than 100,000 additional calls made to 800-QUIT-NOW. On average, weekly quitline calls were up 80 percent while the ads were on the air, compared to the week before they began running. Read more on tobacco.

NIH Releases Tools to Help Older Adults Quit Smoking
While overall U.S. smoking rates are dropping, approximately 10 percent of adults over the age of 65 still smoke. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has created a new online resource with videos, worksheets, interactive tools, strategies, quizzes and more to help older smokers who are thinking about quitting. "Most older adults know that smoking is harmful, and many have tried unsuccessfully to quit, often a number of times. But stopping smoking is a difficult goal that still eludes many older smokers," said Erik Augustson, program director of the Tobacco Control Research Branch at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), which developed the topic for NIHSeniorHealth. "This new topic, which offers a mix of tips and tools geared to the needs and experiences of older smokers, is an important, easy-to-use resource that can benefit those trying to quit for the first time as well as those who have tried before."

AHA: Only One-third of Cancer Patients with Heart Problems Seek Proper Treatment
Approximately 12 percent of older breast cancer patients go on to develop heart failure within three years—often as a result of their cancer treatment—but only one-third of those patients sought the help of a cardiologist within 90 days of experiencing heart problems, according to the American Heart Association. Patients who do not see a cardiologist are less likely to receive the standard therapy for heart failure, putting them at risk of lower quality of care and demonstrating an important area where oncologists and cardiologists can collaborate, according to Jersey Chen, MD, MPH, lead author of the study and a research scientist and cardiologist at Kaiser Permanente. "The bottom line is, if you have breast cancer and you're treated with anthracyclines or trastuzumab, you should know they have side effects," said Chen in a release. "And if you have symptoms of heart problems like shortness of breath or swelling in the feet or legs, seek attention quickly, preferably with doctors familiar and comfortable with treating heart failure after cancer therapy." Read more on heart health.
Long Hours Spent Sitting Linked to Higher Risk for Colon, Endometrial Cancers
Previous studies have linked extended time spent sitting to health problems such as heart disease, blood clots, higher blood sugar and even early death. According to a new study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, you can now add increased risk for colon and endometrial cancers to the list. Researchers analyzed the findings of 43 studies covering 70,000 cases of cancer, determining that:
- People who spent the most time sitting during the day had a 24 percent increased risk of getting colon cancer
- People who spent the most time sitting in front of a television has a 54 percent increased risk for colon cancer
- There was a 32 percent increased risk for endometrial—or uterine—cancer for women who spent the most time seated and a 66 percent increased risk for those who watched the most television
- Every two-hour increase in sitting time was linked to an 8 percent increased risk of colon cancer and a 10 percent increased risk of endometrial cancer

Public Trials Should Be Made Available Via Internet
By: Debbie Rosenbaum*
Editorial Policy
File-Sharing Cases in Courts Around the World
In February, the four men behind the popular file-sharing site The Pirate Bay went to trial in Stockholm, Sweden. They stand accused of helping millions of Internet users illegally download protected movies, music, and computer games. The defendants – Fredrik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi, and Carl Lundström – face up to two years in prison and a fine of 1.2 million kronor (US $143,529) if convicted of being accessories and conspiracy to break Swedish copyright law. The case has made headlines not only because of the substantive legal issues, but also because Defendant Peter Sunde, co-founder of The Pirate Bay, has called for the court's proceedings to be as open as possible. The Swedish court granted Sunde's motion to allow coverage of the proceedings without much resistance, and SVT, a public broadcaster in Sweden, has provided streaming audio webcasts webcasts of trial.
A similar situation is unfolding in the United States in a high-profile case involving issues very similar to those of The Pirate Bay case, although here there has been significant resistance for the defendant's calls to open the proceedings to the public. Joel Tenenbaum is one of the tens of thousands of defendants being sued by the RIAA for allegedly violating their members' copyrights by distributing files through P2P file sharing software. However, unlike the vast majority of the defendants in these cases, he chose to litigate rather than settle his case rather than settle, with the help of Harvard Law School Professor Charles Nesson and a team of his students. With Professor Nesson's assistance, Tenenebaum filed a motion similar to Sunde's, requesting his trial be broadcast live via the Internet. Tenenbaum's motion asked the Court to exercise its discretion under the Court's local rules to allow Internet access to the courtroom by authorizing the Courtroom View Network ("CVN") to provide audio visual coverage of the proceedings in this case over the Internet.

My dad has a couple of apple trees and every year the apples develop sooty blotch and fly speck. I know these are surface fungi and aren't supposed to effect the quality of the fruit but it's not appetizing. Right now the apples growing on the trees look nice and show no signs of SBFS but like every other year we expect to see it soon. We've never sprayed anything on these trees so this year we want to spray some type of fungicide to see if we can improve the apple harvest. Are the fungicide products at local big box stores acceptable for this and if so what is the best method of spraying the tree? Should we buy a concentrate and use it in a pump style sprayer? Do we spray each individual fruit or the entire tree? How often do we apply? The trees have been neglected and need major pruning which I'm sure is a large reason as to why the fruits develop SBFS (lack of light penetration). We plan to prune the trees and do some top working this winter but for now we have to deal with what we have. |

Captan is good, Mancozeb might be better. Usually requires application at least every 2 weeks, except in dry periods. |

In response to a request to create a product that combines the features of a lamp and a shower for the world's top shower fixture producer Hansgrohe's luxury brand, Axor, Nendo decided to do something different. Instead of adding a light to a shower head, which one might expect, they added shower functions to a lamp. The resulting product has both functional and aesthetic value.
It serves as a transparent lamp when the shower is not in use, allowing it to disappear into its surroundings. When used as a shower, light spills out from within the water jets, turning the entire shower into a luminous object.
They designed four versions of the lampshower: a pendant, wall-mounted and floor lamp. The floor lamp is not confined to the bathroom or shower booth, but can be moved around in the house, bringing showering to new spaces of the home, or taken outside onto a terrace or balcony. Again, this reconfigures the act of showering: no longer about 'going to take a shower' but 'taking the shower wherever you like'. Nendo hoped that by adding the many functions of lighting fixtures to a shower, they might liberate the act of showering?from previous limits and create a new, freer way to bathe.

Will the hood fit a helmet?
I'm from California, do you think the insulation is too warm for spring days?
The insulation package is not too heavy so it should be fine for all but the super warm days...but you can just open the pit vents. As for the helmet, happy to hear you have one!! and generally speaking the hood will fit most helmets

"Yum!!! The lemon gives it a fresh, bright twist, the garlic makes it pungent and fragrant, and olive oil makes it rich, all grounded in earthy lentil goodness. We had the soup with some toasted bread and were very satisfied with the healthy, simple, fast meal."
"Yummy soup, though word of warning--I have no idea how one could caramelize onions in 15 minutes, on low heat. It took me over an hour on low heat, with finely diced onion! I referenced a bunch of other sites, and it either takes several times longer than 15 min, or increasing heat to medium. The recipe author did not accept an edit."
"Very flavorful and healthy! Also quick, easy, and cheap to make! I substituted lime zest for the kaffir leaf and regular ginger powder for the galanga powder. I halved the ginger powder since it was starting to taste a little bitter from it. I also used low-fat coconut milk. Can't wait to try this again with the real ingredients."

The Magical Potential Of True Love
Bruno would constantly saunter around the apartment au naturel. He went so far as to answer the door in his birthday suit. Frankly, I was appalled. His best friend James would knock on the door, and there came Bruno, treating his buddy to a full frontal extravaganza and a big bonjour! James wasn't fazed in the least. One day Bruno shocked a pair of Jehovah's Witnesses.
"Aren't you embarrassed to have your privates on display?" I asked.
He gestured toward his package and shrugged his shoulders. "C'est une partie du corps." It's just a part of the body. "You are so uptight, Marla."
For all the French freedom, I watched the girlfriends and wives as they discovered their young men cheated on them all the time. I couldn't figure out if they were just dumb, or if they had their own flings going on. I didn't think I would be able to recover from a betrayal, but then it happened to me. I stayed with Bruno after he had an affair with James' sister who was visiting from France. My self-esteem crashed to a rocky bottom—I thought. But it turned out that it could go even lower.
Bruno's green card came in the mail after we had been married for three years. What a coincidence that an hour after it arrived, he told me that he didn't want to be with me anymore. I was so distraught that I went up to Sunset Boulevard to a tattoo parlor blaring Gun's and Roses and subjected myself to modern day torture by having a tattoo engraved on my left hip of a heart with a dagger through it with the words, L'AMOUR. I was a mess. I couldn't eat or sleep and my heart literally felt as though it had been pierced by a dagger. I was able to convince him to stay with me after that, but why did I want to hang on to someone who didn't love me? I tried changing my personality to be more "cool" and "easy going." When he was there with his friends, I even walked around the house as nonchalant as a cigarette dangling from my lips could make me. All I got was a sore throat.

The one thing I do recommend to first order a sample before you order, I made the mistake of not doing so and when they all arrived I was a little dissapointed with the quality of my personalized picture. Yea I could've returned them but it wasn't such a huge deal. Just an FYI

Is the Era of Groundbreaking Science Over?
It is too many groundbreaking that misled you IMHO (470 comments)
Around turn of the last but one century (1900), the end of physics was in sight. Done it you know. It took a nobody who is not even got a tutorship in U and has to do a patent to break everything in one year. He even got a Nobel Price in QM which he did not believe! Since then, no one dare to say anything.
What can be said now is that change is so inherent and everyone is finding their breakthrough that it is not aware of so many discovery and changes around us. Just like water to fish.
Just 30 years ago, do you think you can have 42" colour TV in your pocket, now our HD resolution IPAD same as that -- if you hold your IPAD and sit in your sofa and check. It is effectively the same size!

Charter Sets Nominees For Time Warner Cable Board As It Presses Case For Takeover
Charter Communications, the John Malone-backed cable distributor that has mounted a bid to take over larger rival Time Warner Cable, said Tuesday it would nominate slate of 13 directors to run the company that it would submit for election at TWC's 2014 annual meeting.
The list consists largely of executives with backgrounds in consulting, private equity and European telecommunications. In media circles, the best known executives on the slate may be Lisa Gersh, a media-industry veteran who recently served as chief executive of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, and Marwan Fawaz, who was recently an executive vice president at Motorola Mobility. One of the nominees is James A. Chiddix, a former chief executive of interactive-TV concern Open TV and former chief technology officer at Time Warner Cable.
"It is clear from our meetings with Time Warner Cable shareholders that there is an overwhelming desire to combine these two companies to increase Time Warner Cable's competitiveness, grow market share and create shareholder value. Now is the time for the current Board and management of Time Warner Cable to respond to their shareholders and work with us to complete a merger to the benefit of shareholders while minimizing their execution and market risks," said Tom Rutledge, Charter's president and CEO, in a prepared statement. "We are nominating a full slate of highly qualified, independent directors to elect to the Time Warner Cable Board and believe that stockholders will use this opportunity to express their views. Our purpose in this proxy contest is to enable shareholders of TWC to raise their voice, and to provide a very capable board who will hear them."
The nomination is the latest in a series of aggressive maneuvers from Charter aimed at getting Time Warner Cable to capitulate and be subsumed by the smaller cable concern. Malone, the legendary builder of former cable empire TCI, has made remarks in recent months suggesting cable operators need to be more aggressive to survive in a fast-changing media landscape in which distribution of video by broadband is becoming more commonplace.
In January, Charter proposed purchasing Time Warner Cable for $132.50 a share. Time Warner Cable sought $160 a share.
Time Warner Cable dismissed Charter's board as a tactic aimed at getting the company to accept an offer it deems too low. "It is clear that Charter is nominating a slate of directors for the sole purpose of pressuring our Board into accepting the same lowball offer that it previously considered and unanimously rejected," said Rob Marcus, Time Warner Cable's chairman and CEO " Our Board remains focused on maximizing shareholder value. We are confident in our strategic plan, which was detailed publicly on January 30, and we are not going to let Charter steal the company."

Article first published as IDW Publishing - New Release Reviews For December 12, 2012 on Technorati.
New Release Reviews continues to focus on the business of comic books. The sales numbers are in for November 2012 and Marvel Comics dominated with 52 of the top 100 selling comics. Much of this was a result of the launch of the Marvel Now! line.
IDW Publishing placed pretty high with the release of its new My Little Pony series. Issue one hit number 15 with over 80,000 copies sold. The first issue of the new Judge Dredd
series hit number 69. Perhaps one of IDW's seven new releases will
chart in December. Titles are scored on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being
the very best possible. We take the time to read these books so your
time isn't wasted.
Transformers Spotlight : Orion Pax - One Shot
What makes this historical story so pleasing is the small cast. Most Transformers
comics are so bogged down by an enormous cast of characters. It didn't
actually shed a lot of light on Optimus Prime, though it did delve into
the guard over his mouth.
Plus, it dug into the significance of the
Autobot symbol, which elevated the story. The artwork is just fine.
Score: 7 out of 10
G.I. Joe - Issue 20
This issue is just one fight after another and it's a lot of fun. The
military lingo is a bit much at points but the story doesn't get slowed
down by it. And the cliff-hanger is great. Interior artwork is excellent
and the cover is cool, not matter how off the anatomy is.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
30 Days Of Night - Issue 12
This issue seems to be the end of this story-line. It's not clear if the
series is over or if it's just transitioning into the crossover with
Cal MacDonald. Mostly, the issue is a big fight involving Eben and a
very sweet flash-back. The artwork is moody but it works for the subject
Score: 8.5 out of 10
Borderlands : Origins - Issue 2
This issue continues to focus on the back-story of one of the game's
characters. The initial inner monologue could have been done more
efficiently, and many of the other characters are vague in their
Lilith is not the deepest character but her power is fun.
Artwork is fun, though the proportions are a bit off.
Score: 5.5 out of 10
Ghostbusters - Issue 16
This issue seems to be hinting at major changes coming for the team,
including Winston who is given the focal point of this story. What's
outstanding is that it shows his life outside of the Ghostbusters and it
gives some back story for him. The cover is perfect for the holidays
and the interior artwork is a lot of fun.
Score: 8 out of 10
Love And Capes - Issue 5
This series skillfully straddles the fence between sad and hysterically
funny. A major relationship is rocked in ways that weren't expected.
Still, the resolution was uplifting and game changing.
The B plot was a
classic screw-ball adventure. The cover sets a lot up. The interior art
is a lot of fun.
Score: 9.5 out of 10
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Issue 17
This is the first time that the Turtles have ever seemed to have some
significance besides being hunted by Shredder. This issue sets up a
valuable use for their skills. It's a somber story, as many of the
characters are dealing with trauma.
This is at odds with the more
cartoon-style art, but it's not out of place. The cover is pretty cool.
And, the issue has an actual letters page.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
Though IDW Publishing only had two comics crack the top 100 in sales,
they still publish some great comics. In particular, this week there
was the new Love & Capes and 30 Days Of Night. Stop back next week for more New Release Reviews.

DailyOJ 06-30-13, Part 1: An Irish Rant, My Orgasm Training, & Tantra Practice
Forgive me, readers, it's been almost 4 months since my last confession…. Yes… it has been almost 4 months since my last DailyOJ post, in which I expounded upon an incredible revelation with the newest member of Trishtopia's TeamPenis.
I held off on writing up these experiences, not because I wasn't having any experiences (I was!), but I found out that my then-husband had discovered this blog, and since the divorce was heating up, I decided to lay low for a bit. But I AM NOW DEEEEEEEE-VORCED, y'all! WOO-HOO!!!!!! I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
I was also in the planning of my radio show, ArousedWoman Radio, that started as The Trish Causey Show, but I changed it to AW — and my show has taken off like crazy! I'm so happy!! Be sure to listen to the replays on the AW website and tune in to the LIVE shows on AW's radio page. (<== shameless plug)
And honestly, I was also pretty darn pissed off that my last DailyOJ post had been rated by 5 voters at an average of 3.5 stars (out of 5 stars)…. <insert Irish rant> …. Ya know…. I started doing the rating system so people could rate my NEWS articles and possibly my OpEd pieces. But frankly, I really don't need anyone's judgment on MY personal sexual and sensual experiences OR on how I relay MY PERSONAL orgasmic awakening HERE on MY FUCKING BLOG. SO if you don't like that my journey is EMOTIONAL or INNER-expansive or ESOTERIC or just not what you were expecting this blog to be because you're fucking deluded by the KoolAid of porn and skin mags, then DON'T JUDGE ME or my experiences or HOW I CHOOSE TO EXPRESS THEM!!!!!!!!!! Go jerk off elsewhere. Seriously.
Now…. where was I… Oh, yes….
For those of you who have followed my DailyOJ, you'll know that I have done a mix of techniques to achieve my awakening. Some worked. Some didn't. So I purposely did not do any techniques in the past 4 months to see how my body maintains my awakening, i.e., will I lose my various orgasmic experiences by NOT practicing. The past 5 weeks in particular, my daughter has been out of school, so I no longer have a way to do my practice as I need to — with NO ONE else here ('cuz I'm loud :-) ).
So, did I lose my awakenings? Not exactly, but I have noticed a difference. However, with the stress of my divorce, closing out the AW Forum, starting the AW Radio show, no privacy, and just life in general, all of this probably has impacted my subtle body more than not "practicing" has. (Side note: I also tried very diligently at being vegetarian for several weeks… that didn't work out. Sorry, my Hare Krishna friends!!)
I have also been working on designing my online orgasm training video classes that I will probably have up by September. I hope to film the video modules in August (when a specific Aussie microphone is finally available here in the U.S.). I've already made a meditation track to go with it, and I need to record the vocals for it. But just in the couple times I've done the specific meditation as I outline it in my training, the results have been very good! :-D
Note: Stay tuned here on the blog, or sign up for my newsletter to get more info on the O training.
In the midst of all of this, I began a training practice in Tantra in February with a teacher in Miami. I've studied Tantra for a while, but didn't like the cheezy neo-Tantra workshops or online classes I've seen, so I never bothered with those. I wanted to expand my knowledge on real Tantra and have a personal teacher I could ask questions and get legit Tantra information. The truth is that I made the mistake of starting this Tantra training during this crazy, stressful time, and never actually did any of the practices. Being certified in yoga and having studied Tantra and Kundalini, I already knew a good bit of the info and the concepts — which was affirming that I was in the right place! — and I learned stuff I didn't know, which was great.
I also didn't do the physical practices of the Tantra training for the same reason I didn't do the practice I had been doing that had led to my amazing orgasmic awakenings, in the first place. So then, I felt like a bad student. I felt guilty — if a voice student had not done his physical homework and then attended a voice lesson with me, I'd be pissed. It's a lack of respect. AND he's not getting out of it what he could. The physical practice is required for the true transformation to happen. Awakening isn't just mind candy. You can't attain true enlightenment by philosophizing your way through other people's concepts. You have to get the movements into your muscle memory, get the energy of change into every cell in your body as you awaken to the changes you feel in your subtle body. This doesn't automagically happen just because you sat your ass on a mountaintop. You gotta do the work! :-) And I knew that… and I purposely laid off the physical work… so I was just a bad student….
Thankfully, my teacher is a balanced, Tantric-Zen type of dude and much more understanding than I am. :-) He knows that life is chaotic for many people.
I'm also in what I call a chrysallis stage — that phase when the being is in a cocoon, morphing into a different existence. Last year, I embarked on a decidedly holistic path, and it's led me here. Having this blog, relating my experiences, doing my radio show that features so many of the topics that interest me — from sex to Astral Travel, from politics to arts and culture, and so many other esoteric concepts — I really do feel whole. And this is what I wish for others. To feel that same sense of whole-ism, not feeling scattered amidst the chaos of their home life, work, raising kids, going to school, putting up a front for society's approval. Be whole. Be you. You'll be much happier.
And then…. just as I was rounding out this month…. my radio show is getting thousands of listeners…. my divorce finally signaled I am a FREE WOMAN!…. working on my orgasm training…. I spent the last couple of days re-doing some of my Tantra training… and then POOF! I felt my prostate come alive the way she has 2 or 3 times now, just before an incredible new level of awakening happens…. and so I'm sitting back and enjoying what I'm experiencing…. when I can sit…. sometimes, she's so powerful, I have to dance….
More on that in Part 2!
Aroused and morphing,
Take #ArousedWoman's Orgasm Questionnaire!
As I look ahead to my online orgasm training workshop, I am conducting an Orgasm Questionnaire and would love to have as many readers participate as possible!
This questionnaire should take about 30 minutes to fill out, and there are no wrong answers. It's also pretty nosy, so brace yourself!
Filling out this questionnaire in NO WAY obligates you to participate in the workshop. But the questions are geared to those who would be interested in taking my online orgasm workshop this summer.
No part of the questionnaire will be published without your express permission. However, some of the responses may be used ANONYMOUSLY in a post here on ArousedWomanBlog.com, based on the statistical information that may be of use to my readers.
NOTE: Some of these responses are required, so look carefully at each question. (I hope you'll answer each one!)
I appreciate you taking this Orgasm Questionnaire so I can better understand my readers' sex lives and orgasm habits.

Mind, Body, Spirit: Breathing ~ the Importance of Being Inspired Repeatedly
I can think of no better place to begin discussing Mind, Body, and Spirit topics than with breathing. Considering that the act of breathing is something most of us take for granted, the role of breathwork and mindful breathing can be truly transformative to your mind, your body, and your spirit.
The process of breathing is a complex coordinated effort that involves the whole torso, not just the lungs. If you follow a yogic or body awareness path, then breathing can be a full-body sport. As a voice teacher, I start all my students on ujjayi breathing, the belly breathing technique from yoga, before we sing any scales or attempt any songs. The student must begin to incorporate ujjayi breathing into their everyday life and subsequently into their singing. Phonation (sound production) is based on airflow. While vocal science research has shown that the vocal folds are responsible for controlling airflow across the vocal folds when we speak or sing, breathing is a coordinated dance of the abdominal muscles, the thoracic and pelvic diaphragms, as well as the internal and external intercostal muscles of the ribcage (to say nothing of the bronchi and alveoli inside the lungs responsible for the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide).
Deep, calm breathing has many relaxing and healthful benefits mentally and somatically.
When we are under stress, nervous, or anxious, the body releases stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. An adrenal response evolved from the human body's early days, adrenaline is great if you're chasing a mammoth or running from a saber-tooth tiger. It's not so great if you're about to go on stage to recite your lines or enter a restaurant on a first date. Adrenaline floods the brain, sort of shutting down the frontal lobes, which are responsible for things like language. (Another reason being nervous before an audition or a date can leave you stumbling for words like a blithering idiot.) With the frontal cortex on coffee break, the primal brain takes over and straddles the fence in fight-or-flight mode. Deep, slow breathing can counter all of this, calming the mind and allowing the stress to be manageable so you can deal with it like a rational human and not a caveman. Breathwork allows you to focus on the task at hand or ease your pesky thoughts away if you're trying to meditate.
Try sitting alone, with all noisy electronic devices turned OFF, and just breath deeply for 10 or 15 minutes.
Breathing is the action by which we replenish that chemical that is pertinent to our existence: oxygen. Breathing high in the chest — upper chest breathing — is a style of breathing in early English and French singing, but it is not recommended for any singing, speaking, or breathwork, in my opinion, because upper chest breathing also triggers the release of adrenaline. Breathe low in the belly, breathing down into the pelvic diaphragm. In voice, this style of breathing is called appoggio, but it is basically ujjayi breathing. I've been known to have students lie on the floor or sit against the wall in chair pose to feel the expansion of the back while breathing and singing. While on the floor, I have them place their binder or sheet music on their stomach so they can see when the book rises and falls and learn to associate that feeling with proper, deep abdominal expansion and contraction. A mirror is crucial to see the ribs moving outward away from the torso.
When we focus on breathing, we tend to focus on our body and our alignment, taking an inventory of how we're doing physically. Tantra and Kundalini paths use different breathing exercises like kapala bhati and bhastrika that really, really work the body — these are powerful breath practices that require guidance from a teacher, especially if you're engaging the body by applying "locks" at certain chakras. And in case you're wondering, oxygen feeds orgasms!
A basic Sun Salutation is a great way to combine deep breath and body work to get the blood and oxygen flowing.
The word spirit comes from the Latin spiritus meaning "soul, vigor, breath," derived from the word spirare which means "to breathe," the root of both of these being spir. When we are born, the first thing we do once the umbilical cord is cut is breathe — we take in breath, we are in-spir-ed, or inspired. The last thing we do before we shake off this mortal coil is to exhale our last breath — ex-spire, or expire. In between that first inspiration and our final expiration, we take in and release breath repeatedly, or as we call it re-spir-ation, the act of respiration.
It is no coincidence to me that the lungs are located right there at the heart chakra. Whenever we are touched emotionally — in a good way or unpleasant way, we tend to either gasp, inhale quickly, or exhale in sadness or disbelief. I feel our emotions and breath are connected. Mindful breathing helps us stay rooted, grounded to the earth, when circumstances leave our mind — or our heart — reeling. Deep breathing can also lower blood pressure and slow a racing pulse.
Breathwork is absolutely fundamental to being healthy. The art of being inspired repeatedly throughout our life is as simple as breathing. When we're overwhelmed, overly excited, can't focus, or can't think, deep breathing can help keep us centered and better prepared to relax into our task at hand or meditation session.
