Here in MD the mosquitoes are fierce! I have a 23mth. old and a 9Mth. old, and up until the bugs were in force, I could garden like crazy with them puttering around with me. Garden hose for older one, younger one in a carrier on my back. They loved it.
NOW that the bugs are out, I can't take them out hardly AT ALL, and my garden is really suffering. Sometimes I park them behind the screen door and garden the beds nearest the door until the wailing and nashing of gums becomes too much, but THE GUILT!! Anyone else have the same problem, anyone have any solutions? |

Check places like Whole Foods for "natural" repellant creams. My favorite sprays are "Skeeter Defeeter" (sp: Defeater?) and stuff made by Cedar-cide. I find those at small local nurseries, or sometimes at Lowe's. The best stuff, IMO, is made with either citronella oil or cedar oil. Since I live in the Houston area--I feel your pain about the mosquitos! Me and my youngest are allergic and we get these welts that swell up about 3" long. The skeeters are always worse in summers after hurricanes/TS, but every year is pretty bad here! |

The latest edition of Mother Earth News had an article in it about Lemon Balm. It said to crush some of the leaves and rub them on your skin for a natural mosquito repellant. There are plenty of natural lotions available also that work really well. Two things that also helped us out in our yard were scattering cedar pellets and cedar mulch. And also encouraging frogs and toads. I wish you the best of luck in finding what works for your family! |

I made my own mosquito repelent. I bought from a local health food store some eucolyptus oil. At home I put 1 cup of vinegar, 1/2 a cup of baby oil, 2 sprigs of rosemary, some lavendar and some marigold, some mosquito shoo plant which is a geranium that smells citronela like. plus added about 1 tsp of the oil. I put it all in a bowl and let it sit for two day. I stirred it a little. Then I put it in a squirt bottle and spray it on my self my kids, and if we are on the back porch I spray it around outside. It seems to work for us. |
i made some my own, my daughter is a skeeter magnet, and these past few years they have been huge and like skeeters on acid!! ya smack em and well they are back up!! and they look funny!! ok so here goes, i use olive oil, ya can get some at the dollar store and target for 99 cents. and i put in 1 or 2 t spoons of mint oil, you can use mint stuff that ya put in your food to taste. but then they say ya have to add alcohol as a diffuser, i don't cuz it don't seem to work as well, i just shake really well and spray on her, it works really good!! no skeeter bites!! and......she smells really good, also you can replace the mint with lavander oil. it works just as well, they don't like that either!! or lemon. but the mint or spearmint works great for last year. i personally love lavender. ummmm it was 1 pt olive oil 2 t mint, lemon, spearmint, lavender (any of these) oils in a spray bottle shake really well :')) smell awesome!! i use the olive oil cuz its excellent for your skin!! the others smother your pores. this stuff won't smother them and it will carry the smell for a long time!! even when your working hard in the garden!! or playing in the pool!! if that dont' work sometimes i will double up on the mint for her, key thing is to put it on befor they get sweaty. LOL she's only 6 but that girl can really attract them skeeters!! i told her its cuz they know that she loves the fairys so much!! LOL so she don't mind the oils so much, especially cuz of the smell!! LOL hope it works!! :')) |

For most adults, a great mosquito repellent is simply taking 300mg to 400mg of Thiamine (Vitamine B1) a half hour or so before going outside. This vitamin doesn't build up in your system and any excess is quickly filtered out by the kidneys. You do have to repeat the Thiamine after about 3 to 4 hours. The Thiamine causes an odor to be secreted from your skin that the mosquitoes apparently don't particularly like. It can be a little hard to get used to the fact that the mosquitoes still hover and may land, but they don't bite. The Thiamine seems to have worked for my family and most of our friends. I've often wondered if this might be safe for kids but haven't had the opportunity to ask a doctor. If anyone finds out the answer to whether this would be safe for kids, please post and let me know. |

5 Hidden Earnings Bargains Worth Buying Now
E*Trade Financial
It shouldn't come as a huge surprise that E*Trade Financial (ETFC - Get Report) is having a good year in 2013. Shares of the discount brokerage pioneer have rallied more than 15% year-to-date, buoyed by the rally in stocks since the calendar flipped over. E*Trade currently has a huge P/E ratio of 35.7, but back out its cash position and that number drops down to just 2.46. Why the big difference?
A big part of it has to do with how E*Trade has realigned itself post-2008. The firm has been putting effort into building out its banking business, an operation that complements its retail brokerage business nicely. Banking offers cheap access to capital as well as attractive fee-based revenue streams, and it also provides stellar cross-selling opportunities with E*Trade's legacy brokerage business. Rallies are a goldmine for brokerage firms, as enticed investors ratchet up their trading (and their commissions, in kind). That's a big tailwind that bodes well for ETFC right now.
E*Trade sports a strong balance sheet -- a nice change from the bloodbath that was 2008 for this company. With a more robust financial position coming in 2013, ETFC is better prepared to weather a few bumps in the road this time around. And its bargain valuation isn't going to last forever.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

on January 7, 2011With the sort-of news this morning that Rudy Giuliani is considering a run, the number of serious potential Republican
presidential candidates in 2012 reached a baker's dozen. At least. Here
are the other medium-to-big names being bandied about: Palin, Pawlenty,
Romney, Huckabee, Daniels, Barbour, Gingrich, Bachmann, Thune, Santorum,
Johnson (Gary, ex-New Mexico governor), Trump (the Don). There are some
other minor hopefuls, natch, and everyone's favorite black belt, Jimmy McMillan, has already declared he's in.
This is ... well, if I'm an Obama strategist, it's wonderful news, and if I'm
a Republican strategist, it's unsettling. It reinforces the fact that
there is no single leader of the party right now. Worse, there's not
even an ideological center for the party to coalesce around. Worse
yet, any efforts to claim a center are met with howls of betrayal from those who think it should be placed further to the left or right. Worst of all, the voices of the far right are winning — and pulling the party further away from the centrist majority of the populace at the same time the Obama White House seems to be signaling a new, explicitly centrist, pro-business stance for the next couple of years.
Think of it this way: when Rudy Giuliani is your voice of moderation, extremism is your new normal. So it's going to be awfully hard for any Republican to win, first, the party and then, second, the nation as a whole. Unless, of course, he can flip-flop instantly from the far-right to the center-right and get away with it.

$29 Million Expansion of Israel Manufacturing Site
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAFC(R), a member of the Sigma-Aldrich(TM) Group (Nasdaq: SIAL), has announced a $29 million investment to significantly expand its drug substance capabilities in high-potency biologics at the Sigma-Aldrich facility in Jerusalem, Israel. The site enhancement will enable SAFC Pharma(TM) to provide process development and cGMP manufacturing to customers requiring large-scale, high-potency, toxic or hazardous drug substances (large molecule HPAPIs).
The biologics area exploits over 30 years of Sigma-Aldrich's expertise in research, development and scale-up of fermentation-derived products in Israel and close technology links to Israel's academic and R&D communities. Scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2009, the 50,000 sq. ft. high-potency fermentation expansion will focus production on secondary metabolites (antibiotic-like molecules), cytotoxins and large-molecule proteins. A 30,000 sq. ft. area of the new facility has been designed to be Biosafety Level 2 compliant -- enabling manipulation of human pathogens. Site capabilities include 1,000 and 4,000-liter tank capacities for bacterial and fungal fermentation.
The new capabilities are expected to expand SAFC Pharma's High Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (HPAPI) offering to include fermentation-derived HPAPI manufacturing, complementing the multi-step organic synthesis flagship facility at its Madison, Wisconsin location.
Commenting on the investment, Frank Wicks, SAFC President, said, "This
expansion builds on the fermentation track record of our Jerusalem facility
while adding significantly to our HPAPI capacity. It is

OS X Lion May Support Nuance
Last month we heard that Apple was negotiating with Nuance to bring voice recognition to iOS 5. Looks like that partnership may have formed, as hints of Nuance's voice recognition software were reportedly found in OS X Lion and the latest internal iOS build.
MacRumors found a few iOS screenshots posted on twitter by hacker/tech enthusiasts @Chronic and @SonnyDickson that show on/off switches for "Nuance Dictation," "Nuance Long Endpoi..." and "Mic on space key."
If the screenshots are genuine, voice recognition software could be a core function of future iOS releases. The feature would make Apple's operating system more competitive with Android, which already supports voice recognition software.
On the OS X Lion front, 9to5Mac in May noticed new voice options in Lion's system preferences that it thinks is Nuance's RealSpeak software. The website was hoping for a joint announcement between Apple and Nuance and WWDC. That obviously didn't happen.
Based on the findings, it seems safe to assume that Apple is at least talking with Nuance. It's hard to say when or if these features will make their public debut.
It all depends on how reliable these sources are. MacRumors seems to stand behind @Chronic and @SonnyDickson saying the two have "been known to have legitimate sources in the past."
On a related note, @Chronic is also telling MacRumors (and the Twittersphere) to expect the rumored MacBook Air refresh this Wednesday.
Product mentioned in this article
(1 items)
OS X Lion (10.7)
At $30 for all of your Macs, the only reason not to upgrade to Lion is because you rely on old PowerPC-based apps that won't run on it. Otherwise, it's a great price for a major upgrade.

You can use our coverage map to check the network coverage available within Hungary.
The data on the coverage map and the relevant expected speed values are estimates based on measurements made by Telenor. They are average figures for reference purposes only, and may vary according to the coverage conditions of the given area and the number of users.
Source: 11 Dec 2014
Types of coverage | Outdoor and indoor coverage | What factors influence speed? | What speed can you expect?
Types of coverage
2G You can use basic Internet functions with the 2G network in most places within Hungary. 2G is mainly recommended for sending e-mails, and browsing on your phone. Telenor provides more than 97% 2G geographical coverage.
3G Our 3G Hipernet network enables you to use the Internet without compromises if your location has coverage. It is suitable for using the Internet both on your phone and at home.
4G In areas with Hipernet 4G coverage you can take advantage of the highest-quality Internet services. You can view HD images and watch HD videos, download large files within seconds, or play online games. The 4G network is also known as LTE. Get to know 4G better | 4G-capables devices | Internet with 4G-speed
Outdoor and indoor coverage
Since buildings reduce indoor signal strength, indoor coverage comparable in quality to outdoor coverage is only available in a smaller area as shown on the map. Indoor download and upload speeds are slower than outdoor download and upload speeds for the same area, as indicated by the reference figures in the explanation.
What factors influence speed?
There are some factors that may affect the Internet speed available at your location:
- The type of network coverage (2G, 3G or 4G).
- The distance from the nearest base station. The further you are from this, the weaker the signal strength will be.
- Whether you are indoors or outdoors.
- The structure of the building. Thick walls (concrete, brick) for example can slow down the Internet speed.
- The number of people using the mobile network at the same time in a given area.
- The weather. Rain or storms, for example, can interfere with access.
- The terrain. Thick forests, hills and valleys may limit access.
What can you do to enjoy optimum coverage?
- Select your location carefully in terms of terrain, wall thickness etc.
- When indoors, use a Wi-Fi router: Locate the access point with the best signal strength, and connect your devices to the Internet via Wi-Fi to enjoy the fastest speed.
- Use a 4G-enabled device and select a tariff or service package offering the right download and upload speed for your needs.
What speed can you expect?
Different data transmission technologies provide different download and upload speeds.
Expected speeds*:
- In areas with 2G coverage: download: 0.2 Mbps; upload: 0.2 Mbps
- In areas with 3G coverage: download: 2-25 Mbps; upload: 1-5 Mbps
- In areas with 4G/LTE coverage: 10-100 Mbps; upload: 3-30 Mbps
Speed also depends on the tariff package used.
Choose a tariff package offering a faster speed so that you can always enjoy the fastest speed available in the area.
Definitions of service quality parameters
Offered bandwidth: the theoretical data transmission speed upper limit (for uploading and downloading) offered by the Operator for Internet access at the given subscriber's access point at any time of the day and at any outdoor location within the broadcast (coverage) area (specified in Mbps).
The download and upload speeds for the bandwidths offered by the Operator for the various data transmission technologies are as follows: 2G: 0.24/0.24 Mbps; 3G: 0.38/0.38 Mbps; HSPA: 14.4/1.8 Mbps; HSPA+: 21/5.76 Mbps; HSPA+DC 42.2/5.76 Mbps; 4G/LTE: 150/50 Mbps.
The offered bandwidth included in each tariff package or supplementary service may differ from the speeds above. For more information, please refer to the description of the tariff package or supplementary service in the Tariff Schedule (Annex 1/A and 1/B to the GTC) The availability of the offered bandwidth depends on the availability of the network technology providing the service at the given location, the availability of devices (e.g. phone, suitable SIM card) supporting the technology and the network load at the given moment.
*Expected speed: The expected speed values on the coverage map are estimates based on measurements made by Telenor. They are average figures for reference purposes only, and may vary according to the coverage conditions of the given area and the number of users. No warranty is provided for the given speed values.
Guaranteed speed: the minimum data transmission speed (for uploading and downloading) that the Operator agrees to provide for Internet access at the given subscriber's access point at any outdoor location within the broadcast (coverage) area (specified in Mbps). Upload and download speed guaranteed by the Operator for all data transmission technologies: 0 Mbps.

@$14.99 its not 91% off like rakuken claims. amazon review says gray imports and must know french to read instructions. whats trending right now >>> Slickdeals Live View Feed If you see a really good deal buy now, think about it later!!! there are people that lurk here all day buying just to resell. make copies of your important store receipts as they fade after a couple of months. |
This is a great price for these IP cams.
To make setup easier go here and read the reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Vivotek-TC5...bJ-3_0_0_0 Then go here and get the manual for the Vivotek IP7137: http://download.vivote Then go here and here for the new software: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Vivot...0643903 and: http://www.vivotek.com/web/downlo...nload. Under All Categories go to Software and get the IW2 (Installation Wizard 2). This camera is not for the faint of heart. You probably should have some tech abilities and understanding to set it up, and some knowledge of French since this is the European version. You Tube may also help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X83h2T or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z6R7f6 Or search for more under Vivotek. Good Luck!!!

As I said above it's not for the faint of heart, but as far as image quality the 5 star Amazon review is all there is. The 1 star review has to do with that persons ability to connect the camera wirelessly. But for $15 it may be worth the effort. |
im assuming that this either plugs in directly to ethernet or you have to use something like router with dd-wrt in bridge mode to use it wireless.

Bone density scan
Bone density scan
A bone density scan measures the density of bone in a person. The lower the density of a bone the higher the risk of fractures. A bone scan, along with a patient's medical history, is a useful aid in evaluating the probability of a fracture and whether any preventative treatment is needed. A bone density scan has the advantage of being painless and exposing the patient to only a small amount of radiation.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
Tags: green products, energy-efficient products
Saving money is the number one reason why consumers buy energy-efficient appliances, according to a recent survey by the Shelton Group, a Knoxville, Tennessee, based advertising firm. Of 500 survey participants, 71 percent bought green products to save money, 55 percent to protect the environment and 49 percent "to protect the quality of life for future generations."
According to the Shelton Group, these results diverge from the 2006 and 2007 Utility Pulse findings, when more people cited environmental reasons for buying energy-efficient products. The recession has caused Americans to look for new ways to save money, and the survey found that saving $20 or more in monthly utility bills resulted in consumer satisfaction. About 32 percent of respondents expressed dissatisfaction with their eco-appliances, saying they didn't save as much money as they'd hoped.
Reducing utility bills is a two-step process. First, it's essential to take green measures such as turning off the lights when you leave a room, unplugging appliances from energy sockets when not in use, reducing shower time and lowering your thermostat in winter and raising it in summer. Second, when old appliances are ready to be replaced, opt for Energy Star-certified products.

Stewart: No plans to repeat Indy-Charlotte double |
Written by Admin |
Sunday, 29 May 2011 10:55 |
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - It's been 10 years since Indiana native and NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Tony Stewart last pulled off the Indianapolis 500-Coca-Cola 600 double. Don't expect it to happen again. ``In my heart? Absolutely, I would love to do it,'' Stewart said. ``The problem with it is that IndyCars have become so competitive now.'' Stewart, who turned 40 earlier this month, competed in both races the same day in 1999 and 2001. He became the only driver to post two top-10 finishes despite thinking that he might be hallucinating during the last 100 miles at Charlotte 10 years ago. ``Obviously, I'm not Mr. Olympia and I'm not the healthiest guy in the world compared to a lot of other drivers on the circuit,'' Stewart said. ``By the time the 600 was done, I'd had enough. I was hungry 50 laps into the race. ``It was still early and there wasn't a Burger King drive-thru in sight.'' But that's not the main reason the NASCAR Sprint Cup driver and owner thinks racing the Indianapolis 500 again is unlikely. ``There are so many things that have changed since I ran Indy cars so many years ago,'' he said. ``I'm not sure I would be up to speed and be able to get competitive enough quickly enough. ``I have all the confidence in the world the cars I would drive would be competitive. But to really do it and do it right and to feel like you have a legitimate shot to win the Indy 500, you would have to start at the beginning of the year with the team you're going to race with during the month of May.'' Stewart was still able to race in different circuits over the weekend. A night before the Coca-Cola 600, Stewart finished 10th in a sprint car race on the dirt track next to Charlotte Motor Speedway. --- INDY 500 REACTION: Watching the Indianapolis 500 is popular among drivers awaiting the evening Coca-Cola 600. And it didn't take them long to chime in on Twitter following Sunday's stunning finish. ``Are you kidding me!!!!!!!! That poor kid in the 4 car,'' Jimmie Johnson wrote. That would be rookie J.R. Hildebrand, the 23-year-old Californian who seemingly had the race won until he slammed the wall on the final turn, allowing Dan Wheldon to claim victory. ``Oh wow! Never seen a last corner at Indy like that! Unbelievable!'' wrote Jeff Gordon. ``Never over til its over. Right?'' Added Juan Pablo Montoya, who won the 2000 Indy 500: ``What a heartbreak that 500 finish.'' Brad Keselowski, who won the pole for the 600, turned his attention to Charlie Kimball, the lapped driver Hildebrand was trying to avoid. ``Who was the lapper? Getouttatheway,'' Keselowski wrote. Kevin Harvick then summed up the feelings at Charlotte Motor Speedway. ``Man that's a tough way to lose the Indy 500,'' he wrote. --- ROUSH ON A ROLL: Confidence is soaring at Roush Fenway Racing. The team, which struggled for much of 2010, had six consecutive Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series victories heading into Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600. ``The cars drive better and the engines run better,'' said Carl Edwards, who won last week's All-Star race. ``The pit stops are better and we're working very well as a team between the cars.'' That wasn't the case last year for owner Jack Roush or car manufacturer Ford. Roush said problems with simulations in the offseason before 2010 led to setup issues with the cars. The team realized the problem by Bristol early in the season, but it took a while to correct. ``It's been all downhill since then,'' Roush said. Matt Kenseth, who won Saturday's Nationwide Series race, said the success feeds on itself, leading to higher morale throughout the team. ``When they're putting their cars together over at the airport they're thinking, 'Man, one of these cars might win the race if we get all the stuff right,''' Kenseth said. ``I think everybody is feeling more like a contender, which is contagious and I think good for the whole teams.'' --- KEEPING IT SLOW: Jimmie Johnson has a plan to stay out of the kind of speeding trouble that fellow driver Kyle Busch encountered last week: Drive slow cars. ``I've always joked with my friends that I have a collection of old cars that I cruise around in because I've always felt if I have an exotic sports car I would be doing stupid things,'' Johnson said. A police officer in North Carolina clocked Busch driving 128 mph in a 45 mph zone Tuesday in a high-performance, borrowed Lexus sports car. Busch, who is due in court in July, avoided a suspension from Sunday's race. Johnson said he drove a '59 Chevrolet pickup truck to the track earlier this week. ``It's tempting, especially when you have the skill sets that we do as drivers and you get a high performance car and you want to see how it stacks up,'' Johnson said. ``I'm not trying to justify what he did, but we can all look ourselves in the mirror and know that we've wondered what it felt like to stand on the gas pedal.'' --- LONG DAY, NIGHT: Is the Coca-Cola 600 too long? Jeff Gordon doesn't think so. ``This is the ultimate test of car, team, driver, engines, every part of the car,'' he said. NASCAR has taken steps to shorten some races from 500 to 400 miles. But the circuit's longest race, which lasts 400 laps and can often take 5 hours, has remained untouched. ``The sport is not all about just running a 250-mile race,'' Gordon said. ``It's about making your car last and making the cars last so people can develop parts and things to put on street cars, to put on shelves for aftermarket racing programs that sell parts. ``It's more than just having a fast car and lining them up and running a short race. It's really about the attrition of the whole night and surviving that.'' --- GROWING A BEARD: Now men have two reasons to skip shaving: Kevin Harvick is doing it and it's good for the environment. Harvick is participating in a Budweiser-sponsored event called ``Grow One. Save a Million.'' The goal is for men not to shave leading up to World Environment Day on June 5 in hopes of saving one million gallons of water. According to a company spokesman, the average shave uses 3-10 gallons of water. Harvick last shaved Friday and has vowed not to use a razor again until June 6. Members of his crew are also participating. Fans can go to Budweiser's Facebook page to register their own pledge. --- LUG NUTS: Master Sgt. William ``Spanky'' Gibson, the first U.S. service member to return to the front line after losing a leg, was to give the race command Sunday. He returned to Iraq with a prosthetic leg in 2008 after being injured in sniper fire two years earlier. ``It's an amazing day for all Marines, all service members,'' he said. ... NHRA Top Fuel points leader Del Worsham was at the track to do a burnout on the frontstretch in his racing machine before the race. ... Health and wellness company AdvoCare announced a multiyear deal to be the title sponsor for the Sept. 4 Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. |

Transforming Communities to Reduce Stress and Improve Health
Brita Roy, MD, MPH, MS, is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)/U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Clinical Scholar, and Carley Riley, MD, MPP, is an RWJF Clinical Scholar.
You awake to the sound of your alarm, not feeling as rested as you'd hoped. Hurriedly bathing and dressing, you then grab a breakfast bar and stumble over your long-neglected bicycle to climb into your car, joining other anonymous drivers enduring their morning commutes.
Unfortunately, these sorts of mornings, all too common to Americans, create negative stress and worsen health. Under time constraints and other pressures, stressed individuals engage in less healthy behaviors: eating more unhealthy foods, exercising less, smoking more, and sleeping less than their less stressed counterparts. And the persistent assault of low-grade stressors, such as air and noise pollution, constant rush, lack of nature, and social isolation repeatedly trigger our bodies' stress responses, promote persistent low-level inflammation, and subsequently undermine our cardiovascular and overall health.
Beyond these familiar stressors, emerging research is showing how the nature of our communities and our relationships within them—our social environment—also influence our health. We are learning that living in neighborhoods in which residents do not know or trust each other increases negative stress levels. And how living in communities in which residents do not have confidence in their government or do not believe they can affect change to better their lives also creates stress.
We have greater understanding of how people living in neighborhoods with high crime and violence rates experience more chronic stress. And we are finding that living and working in environments in which we feel powerless augments the negative health effects of stress.
RWJF Scholars in the News: Alzheimer's disease, violence against women, drug marketing, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast, and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni, and grantees. Some recent examples:
Jason Karlawish, MD, participated in the design of new research that offers "an opportunity to study the future of the way we're going to think about, talk about and live with the risks of Alzheimer's disease," he tells the Associated Press. The study is aimed at testing an experimental drug to see if it can protect seniors who are healthy but whose brains "harbor silent signs" of risk, such as a sticky build-up of proteins that can be a precursor to Alzheimer's. Karlawish is an RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research recipient. Read more about his work on Alzheimer's disease here and here.
The work of RWJF Scholars in Health Policy Research alumni Ted Gayer, PhD, and Michael Greenstone, PhD, is featured in an Economist article about incorporating into federal cost-benefit analyses the global benefits of regulation to reduce carbon emissions, rather than benefits that accrue only to the United States. Agencies conduct such analyses before promulgating regulations to test whether the estimated benefits of a regulation exceed the estimated costs. Typically, estimated benefits include only those that accrue to the United States, but because global warming reaches far beyond U.S. borders, the Obama Administration's calculations include global benefits. Greenstone was also recently cited in the New York Times.
Chris Uggen, PhD, an RWJF Investigator Award recipient, writes about the decline in the incidence of sexual violence and intimate partner violence against women since 1993 in a Pacific Standard article. Rates of sexual violence and intimate partner violence decreased from almost 10 per 1,000 in 1994 to 3.2 per 1,000 in 2012, Uggen writes. While those numbers are encouraging, "misogyny and violence against women remain enormous social problems—on our college campuses and in the larger society," he says. Uggen's post also appeared on Sociological Images, a Pacific Standard partner site.
Seeing the Human Impact of Climate Change in Bangladesh
Sabrina McCormick, PhD, is a sociologist, filmmaker, and an associate professor of environmental and occupational health for Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University. She is an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars program.
I spent almost a month in Bangladesh producing a story starring Michael C. Hall for the last episode of the Years of Living Dangerously, a documentary series on climate change. In this blog post, I'm going to tell a story that came up in the research phase and one that highlighted, for me, what is possibly the biggest obstacle to getting anything done on this issue.
As someone who's been studying social movements for a long time, I've seen that social change hinges on the tangibility of an issue and sometimes how well you can prove its existence. Yet, most scientists say climate change is invisible, that no one event can be pointed to and called an impact of climate change.
Working on the Years series highlighted this issue all the more since TV and film must show more than it tells. I was in a particularly difficult position trying to tell stories about climate change as a scientist, being bound by this adage that we can't see it. Yet, when I went to Bangladesh, that adage stopped making sense. It's not that my scientific mind retreated, but rather that my imagination was able to connect the dots of science in a way it couldn't without putting science in a specific context, a place where people might already be affected.
A Behind the Scenes Look at a Documentary Series on Climate Change
Sabrina McCormick, PhD, is a sociologist, filmmaker, and an associate professor of environmental and occupational health for the Milken Institute School of Public Health at the George Washington University. She is an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars program.
The first episode of Years of Living Dangerously, a new documentary series exploring the human impact of climate change, aired last Sunday on Showtime. I worked on the series as associate producer and producer, but I am also a scientist who has been studying the impact of climate change on human health for almost a decade. In all that time, I'd developed a good grasp of what climate change looks like from a scientific point of view. But working on the series made me learn a lot more about what climate change looks like, not just here in the United States but worldwide.
This documentary television series consists of nine episodes featuring star correspondents as they meet experts and visit ordinary people who have lived through extreme weather events triggered by climate change. James Cameron, Jerry Weintraub, and Arnold Schwarzenegger served as executive producers of the series, along with former 60 Minutes producers Joel Bach and David Gelber. I worked with Matt Damon on an upcoming segment about heat waves and with Michael C. Hall on another story focusing on Bangladesh, a nation already vulnerable to extreme weather.
Childhood Lead Exposure: Piling Disadvantage onto Some of the Country's Most Vulnerable Kids
Sheryl Magzamen, PhD, MPH, is an assistant professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University and an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Health & Society Scholars program (2007-2009). She recently published two studies exploring the link between early childhood lead exposure and behavioral and academic outcomes in Environmental Research and the Annals of Epidemiology. She discusses both below.
Human Capital Blog: What are the main findings of your study on childhood lead exposure and discipline?
Sheryl Magzamen: We found that children who had moderate but elevated exposure lead in early childhood were more than two times as likely as unexposed children to be suspended from school, and that's controlling for race, socioeconomic status, and other covariates. We're particularly concerned about this because of what it means for barriers to school success and achievement due to behavioral issues.
We are also concerned about the fact that there's a strong possibility, based on animal models, that neurological effects of lead exposure predispose children to an array of disruptive or anti-social behavior in schools. The environmental exposures that children have prior to going to school have been largely ignored in debates about quality public education.
Community Linkages Increase Access to Diabetes Prevention Education
Robin Whittemore, PhD, APRN, FAAN, is an associate professor at Yale School of Nursing. Whittemore has received national and international recognition for her work in behavioral interventions for type 1 and type 2 diabetes. One focus of her work has been to examine ways to improve access to health programs for vulnerable high-risk populations. She is the primary investigator on a study funded by the RWJF Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative to prevent diabetes among at-risk adults in public housing. This post originally appeared on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Partnership for Action blog.
Minority adults are at a disproportionate risk for developing type 2 diabetes, a challenging illness to manage that is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. Evidence indicates that lifestyle change programs, which incorporate healthy eating, physical activity and modest weight loss, can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes. Yet, access to diabetes prevention programs is limited, particularly among minority and low-income adults.
To help address the issues with access to diabetes prevention programs, we designed a study to link existing community resources—public housing communities and a homecare agency— to minority and low-income adults at-risk for type 2 diabetes. Public housing communities provide housing at reduced rental costs for families of low socioeconomic status. We chose this setting because these communities often have the space and personnel to support a community-based program. The homecare agency consists of nurses who monitor and implement healthcare in a home environment, and are trusted health professionals in public housing communities.
Human Capital News Roundup: Interpreters at pediatric appointments, air pollution's effect on life expectancy, fast food restaurants near schools, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni and grantees. Some recent examples:
The majority of pediatricians use bilingual family members instead of professional interpreters to communicate with patients with limited understanding of English, according to a study led by RWJF Clinical Scholars alumna Lisa DeCamp, MD. Family members may make errors or withhold sensitive or painful information, DeCamp told Reuters. Two other Clinical Scholars alumnae, who were not involved in the study, also spoke to Reuters about the findings: Lisa Diamond, MD, MPH, and Darcy Thompson, MD, MPH.
Nearly 500 million people living north of the Huai River in Northern China will lose an estimated 2.5 billion life years—or five years each, on average—because of air pollution from widespread coal burning, the Washington Post reports. The data come from a new study co-authored by RWJF Scholars in Health Policy Research alumni Michael Greenstone, PhD, and Avraham Ebenstein, PhD. Greenstone tells the Washington Post he was "surprised by the magnitude of the effect."
A study led by RWJF Health & Society Scholars alumna Magdalena Cerdá, PhD, MPH, finds New York City saw a sevenfold increase in opioid overdoses from 1990 to 2006, Pain Medicine News reports. The trend has largely been driven by White individuals who live in areas with "high income inequality but lower than average rates of poverty."
RWJF Fellow Named White House "Champion of Change"
Laura Anderko, an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Executive Nurse Fellows (ENF) program (2005-2008), received a prestigious honor from the White House last week for her work to protect health in a changing climate.
The Robert and Kathleen Scanlon Endowed Chair in Values Based Health Care at the School of Nursing & Health Studies at Georgetown University, Anderko was named a "Champion of Change" by the White House. On July 9, she and 10 other "champions" who work at the intersection of the climate and public health attended an event with top government officials to discuss their work.
Anderko, PhD, RN, said in an interview that she was "honored, thrilled, and surprised" to receive the recognition and added that the honor will help raise awareness of the health implications of climate change. My hope, she said, is that this award helps this issue gain "more prominence in the minds of society, not just in America, but globally."
The ENF program had a "huge impact" on my career, she added. It allowed me to "really immerse myself in environmental health" and taught me to "think big and consider unusual and unlikely partners"—a theme she addressed during the July 9 event at the White House.
"Champions of Change" are recognized by the White House for their work in a wide range of fields. The program was created as an opportunity for the administration to recognize American individuals, businesses and organizations that are "doing extraordinary things to empower and inspire members of their communities."
"Laura Anderko is making strong efforts to change her community's ways on treating the environment and is leading the way on climate and health," a White House release stated.

Framing Public Health Issues
This Q&A originally appeared on the RWJF New Public Health Blog. Read more about Nisbet's research.
Environmental issues are consistently a topic of hot debate. A new study reveals that how we talk about these issues could have a big impact on whether people feel compelled to act on them. According to new research led by two awardees of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research, Matthew C. Nisbet, PhD, MS, and Edward W. Maibach, PhD, MPH, talking about the environmental consequences of climate change may not convince the unconvinced—while talking about the public health consequences might have a better chance.
As the American University and George Mason University professors write in a newly published study in the journal Climatic Change Letters, "Results show that across audience segments, the public health focus was the most likely to elicit emotional reactions consistent with support for climate change mitigation and adaptation." The study was co-authored with Teresa Myers and Anthony Leiserowitz.
We caught up with Matthew Nisbet to get his take on the latest findings, and how the public health field can do a better job of framing issues in a way that motivates action.
New Public Health: What is message framing?
Matthew Nisbet: When you frame something as a communicator or as a journalist or as an expert, what you do is you emphasize one dimension of a complex issue over another, calling attention to certain considerations and certain arguments more so than other arguments. In the process, what you do is you communicate why an issue may or may not be a problem, who or what is responsible for that problem and then what should be done. One of the common misunderstandings about framing is that there can be something such as unframed information. Every act of communication, whether intentional or not, involves some type of framing.
Housing, Neighborhoods and Health Disparities
As we head into 2012, the Human Capital Blog asked Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) staff, program directors, scholars and grantees to share their New Year's resolutions for our health care system, and what they think should be the priorities for action in the New Year. This post is by Corina Graif, PhD, RWJF Health & Society Scholar at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
In the New Year I hope that our thinking about housing policy will more systematically incorporate the expanding evidence and relevance of housing conditions for population health and health care policy. Many aspects of internal housing conditions are known to affect health. For instance, heating, ventilation, mold and lead are linked to cardiovascular health, excess mortality, asthma, disability, intellectual functioning, ADHD [Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder] and delinquent behavior.
We are also learning more and more about the health relevance of various characteristics of the physical environment surrounding one's residence. For example noise, spatial proximity to vegetation, to grocery shops and to highways, and other sources of air pollution are linked to cardiovascular, mental health, obesity, asthma and allergic effects. Limited but important evidence also exists on the health implications of the socio-spatial context of housing. For instance, fear of crime, crowding, neighborhood disadvantage, social exclusion, and residents' social exchange are linked to cardiovascular and mental health, obesity, diabetes and low birth weight.
In my dissertation work and related projects, I ask questions about the spatial context of neighborhood effects to investigate how the urban geography of inequality and cumulative spatial disadvantage shape the health and well-being of the inner-city poor. I analyze residential mobility data from the Moving to Opportunity Experiment in Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Baltimore, and Chicago together with data from PHDCN [Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods], and a large collection of data based on Census and other administrative records over several years.

Northside's Thunder Sky Gallery's current exhibition honors the 50th anniversary of the death of writer, painter and cartoonist Flannery O' Connor. Keith Banner, one of the gallery directors, is in the studio with Jane Durrell with some background on the gallery and details on participating artists.
Jane Durrell welcomes in to our studio two of the local artists behind the 5th Street Gallery, a collaborative of a wide variety of artists in many different media. Ober-Rae Livingstone is an artist and manager of the Gallery, and former Enquirer reporter-turned-fulltime artist Sara Pearce, discuss the role of the gallery and its heart-of-the-city location at the Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel.

Early morning care is available between 8:30-9:30 am, and after-care between 3:00-5:00PM. After-care consists of modified camp activities.

In addition, you'll learn acting basics like projection and enunciation, character creation, and blocking. At the end of the week long session, the young performers will get to share their new skills in front of an audience of family and friends. Please register early. Enrollment is limited to12 students.

Between low prices, Nexus-style Android builds, and updates straight from Google, the Android One phones currently on sale in India seem like ideal tinker machines. Now those who want to play with custom ROMs, software modifications, or just want an easy way to root and backup their phones have an official Team Win Recovery Project build available to them. The custom recovery can be downloaded from the official TWRP page.
Traditionally LG is one of the stragglers when it comes to updating its flagship devices to the newest Android OS versions. This time around, though, things appear to be different. Hot on the heels of Motorola's Lollipop soak test for the 2014 Moto X (which should lead to an official update in short order), LG has announced that it will begin rolling out Android's newest flavor to its G3 phone this week.
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got a hard-boiled adventure game, a simian racer, and a colorful mix of Space Harrier and endless runners.
We've been hearing from a lot of companies hyping up their plans for Android 5.0 updates - at least one of them seems ready to start issuing it soon. But what of Samsung, the undisputed king of Android sales figures and, not least, one of the more (ahem) robust suppliers of add-on software and interfaces? Apparently the company is working swiftly on a Lollipop update. The folks at SamMobile, as is their wont, have already managed to snag what looks like an early build of Android 5.0 for the Galaxy S4.
Update: the developers of Primecast have confirmed to Android Police that they were "locked out" of the app's streaming functionality.
Don't say we didn't warn you. On Thursday we published a story about Primecast, an enterprising app that allowed Android users to log in to Amazon and stream Amazon Instant Video movies and television shows to Chromecast. Though Amazon has (finally) allowed non-Kindle Fire owners to watch their purchased or subscribed videos, they haven't enabled Chromecast like their competitors at Google, Netflix, and others.
Motorola started selling a few new color and band versions of the Moto 360 smartwatch this week, with more to come. At the same time a company representative promised new watch faces for existing users via a forthcoming update to the Motorola Connect app. That update seems to be here: version 2.02.21. In addition to faces added from the Motorola design competition back in June, the new app allows you to pick and choose colors and design elements for the default Motorola faces.
After both Runtastic and RunKeeper got updated with Google Fit integration in the past couple of weeks, it's Nike+' turn today. As one of Fit's initial launch partners, this update was expected and should come as a surprise to no one. All you have to do is launch the app once it's updated and follow the prompts to give it access to post its data to your Google Fit account.
Listen up if you're one of the 6 persons who bought a overpriced TrekStor SurfTab xintron i 7.0 tablet for EUR129 from Amazon.de and gave it an average rating of 4 stars (Edit: the previous link, pricing, and reviews were for the 10" version). You're going to be super happy now, provided you also have a Chromecast or you got your hands on an Android TV box. You can now mirror your TrekStor SurfTab xintron i 7.0's screen to a TV through casting.
Motorola's been planning a soak test for select users of the Moto X 2014 Pure Edition for a little while now, and it looks like it's officially beginning. Earlier this evening, a tipster shared a shot of the update prompt with us, confirming that the test is bringing Android 5.0 Lollipop to the handset, earlier than Google's own OTAs for existing Nexus devices (besides the new Nexus 9 and unreleased Nexus 6).

It's included with Sony Sound Forge Audio Studio 9. I have wav and mp3s that need vocals removed for re recording. Does anyone have any experience with this?
How do you use izotope vocal eraser?
4 Answers
I've not had any experience with Izotope Vocal Eraser, so apologies in advance. But you can get a free VST plug-in from a manufacturer called Bootsy whose plug-in suite has something which might be of use to you. The plug-in is called RescueAE, and if you're recording for a commercial purpose you can still use these plug-ins for commercial use.
If you add this effect to the wav file you're looking to get the vocals out of, all you need to do is to click on the 'mid' section to turn it off. This'll get rid of the vocal track completely leaving everything else pretty much intact. If you're using MP3s though, using this effect will make them sound a little wavey but it's great to use on wav files. I think all of the plug-ins have a pdf manual which you download with them which explains the type of effect and how to use them, so if you're stuck on something you can always refer to it.
I know this has nothing to do with Izotope Vocal Eraser, but I hope this helps you out a bit. Look into the Bootsy plug-in suite as they're extremely good!
I have this software and it doesn't work like you would think. I think it depends how the vocals are recorded in the song. It does lower the vocals some what though it doesn't remove them completely. You just have to take a chance and hope it works. However its easy to use. Just load a song into sound forge and hit tools, and open vocal eraser. I am looking for a better software my self.
Doesn't work by any definition of the word "work".
Sorry I'm not answering this. But I'm keeping another Question.
Can I V E be used in Nuendo or cubase? Does it work in sound Forge 8?
I have that one.
Plz answer
Izotope VE only works in Sound Forge unfortunately. There are some other products that will work as VST though. Check out: http://recordingquestions.com/gear/bootsy/rescueae/547
