Just some of our Happy Customers...
You will be in great company.
Omni-Channel & Modular
Text, Voice, Apps, & Chatbots. We integrate with major enterprise platforms, health apps, devices, medical Bluetooth devices, and pedometers. Here are just a few...
Features & Benefits
If you feel your health engagement program can be more outcomes focused, you are in the right place.
Health Engagement in a Box
Wellness Programs have traditionally been hard to implement, administer, and the results vary. We deliver "Wellness in a Box". As an owner of wellness at your organization, you need something simple and dependable to implement and a "Hero" to guide you through the process. - That's Us!
Modular Pop Health
Create groups based on filters such as condition, demographic information or health status, making it easier to target and manage specific patient populations in regards to chronic or acute. Ask us about our programming around orthopedics, cardiology, oncology, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
Omni-Channel Outreach
Send conversational messages to a group of patients once or on a recurring basis. Use text, voice and/or email messaging to monitor patient behavior and provide more targeted automated outreach that feels "super human".
Bundled Payments & Episodes of Care
The transition from fee-for-service to a new pay-for-performance model is here. The CMS and other industry drivers have ushered the adoption of bundled payments by providers, creating clear financial incentives to improve & coordinate post-acute care for patients. We enable success throughout the continuum of care.
Tailored Messaging
Address the chronic disease burden through evidence based programs designed for diverse populations. Every patient's story is different. Ensure you are sending the right person, the right message, at the right time, with ultimate empathy.
"Smart" Scalable Conversations
Communication is important when making improvements to your health engagement program. Leave it up to our amazing design & marketing guardians to create a customized communication campaign just for your culture.
Recommendations & Predictions
We are all different in our journey for optimal health. Receive welcoming tailored automated text messages at the right time based on who you are and what you are doing.
Biometric Screenings
A key starting point to any health engagement program. We facilitate the delivery of onsite biometric data collection and transfer. Your people get to know their health risks: obesity, blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Health Risk Assessments
Customized Health Risk Assessment questionnaire. Your people can understand their risk in terms of nutrition, productivity, stress, sleep, activity, and much more.
It's #social & #fun
Competition, Connection, & Challenge.
Whether you are at home or at work or you don't have a smart phone or computer, Health Hero works with what you have.
Smart Pop Health
Change is here. Legislation is driving trillions of dollars needing to shift in a few years from an old healthcare payment model to one that is "Fee for Value". Enable your hospital or organization to scale chronic & episodic disease management by doing smart automated outreach via phone, text messages, and/or apps & devices.
Health App, Fitness & Medical Device Integration
We integrate with ALL the health apps & devices (25+). From Fitbit to Jawbone to Misfit, Runkeeper, Apple Health & everything in between. Don't see an app or device we integrate with? Let us know!
Incredible Rewards
Pay for Health Performance. Reward your people with premium reductions, Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions, gift cards, our very own vast rewards network, and beyond. Incent as often as you would like and within your budget
Amazing Gamification
Level ups, coins, hearts, points, badges, avatars, quests, oh my! What will you achieve? Your company water cooler talk just got a whole lot more fun & healthier.
Holistic Health Challenges
There is a lot more to health than just eating kale and doing crossfit. We have over 120+ healthy holistic activities that we can customize for your organization across key health areas: mind, body, financial, family, community, and spirit.
Any Device. Anytime. Anywhere.
Health Hero can be accessed via web, native mobile apps, and even text message. If you are a non-US based company, ask about our solution availability in your country.
Dynamic Leaderboards
How do you choose to compete? See who is winning by individual or by team. Compete on steps, distance, weight, intensity, challenge completion, and many more. Setting up teams can be done in less than a minute.
Real time Insights & Analytics
Health Hero offers robust real time insights, analytics, and reporting tailored to your needs. Optimize the health of your organization, reduce administration.
Care Circles
Isolation is the villain. Health Hero is all about the power of inclusion. Including your friends & family in your wellness journey is important & it is free.
A Proven Process
When looking to make changes to your wellness programming, it is important you choose a service that has a track record of changing behavior for the better. High participation, improved BMI & risk factors for high risk patients & employees, we have you covered.
Test Results
Help patients understand the significance of their test results, such as BMI and cholesterol, and remind them when they're due for their next checkup.
Health that is human
You know all the fun stuff we experience on our own social networks like selfie taking, commenting, liking, food snapping, and social network sharing? Yup, we have all that too.
Safe & Secure
Our solution has best in class security and is HIPAA compliant. Tap us also on our expertise in the Affordable Care Act and how it can be leveraged to improve your company profits.
Seamless Integration
Have a current wellness, EHR, enterprise social network, or human capital management solution? Great! Ask us how we snap right on to it for enhanced cultural value. The Health Hero system is simple & easy to integrate with.

In the past, not all feedback about the idea of women voting was negative. Many prominent people put themselves on the line, including Walter Clark, chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. He wrote to suffrage leader Alice Paul toward the end of the national suffrage campaign to pass the 19th amendment: "Your place in History is assured. There were politicians, and a large degree of public sentiment, which could be won only by the methods you adopted." Justice Clark was referring to the direct action taken by Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party, which at the time was extremely controversial. Nowadays we take the civil rights movement to expand the franchise for granted. At the time it polarized people, as well as brought them together.

us410s replied to Warrior Woman's topic in Celiac Disease - DoctorsHi Lorraine: I was diagnosed with Celiac three years ago. My Mother has it. Now we find out that my Father has both celiac genes as well. My sister went for a biopsy and was told she did not have Celiac. I insisted that she send her slides to Dr Fasano at University of Maryland. They looked at them and said that she DOES have Celiac. The reading of slides and blood work is not a perfect science. Keep believing in your body. Margie
Why is Lunesta Bad Bad Bad?
I have been taking lunesta 1 mg for a few months on and off. Before Lunesta I had problems falling asleep but once I am asleep I stay sleeping without problem. Lunesta helps me fall asleep but then I wake in about 6 hours. I am trying to figure out what next.

St Gervais has a collection of good bars, including a larger than usual choice of sophisticated night spots, or you can hit the spa or visit the cinema when you finish your day on the slopes.
Les Caves du Presteau (+33 (0)4 50 21 43 79) is usually one of the better après ski spots, located at the base of the pistes in Le Bettex. Oboose (+33 (0)4 50 93 55 03) next to the gondola is also good ad open from 3pm right through to 3am daily.
Le Repaire des Ours (87 Avenue de la Gare; 04 50 91 56 22) has live music every weekend. The Millenenium Pub (+33 (0)4 50 78 44 52) is a cool place with wifi and sometimes DJs but the Pur Bar (+33 (0)6 61 66 69 76) is cooler still with modern décor, a bio –ethanol fuelled fire place, with champagne, cocktail or fruit juices to drink while DJ's often play. It's open to 2am daily and it's wise to reserve your space. If you want to party later still there are several sophisticated nightclubs including la Nuit des Temps.

Judging by stubhub prices for that show you will be lucky to get $100 for it.
that coming.
Ha! The Seattle show seems to be tanking hard. Today there are $110 for front row seats in the center section. I have been monitoring since I am going to go to this show and haven't purchased tickets yet. Probably gonna wait for the massive dump in price the day of the show.
You can still go on ticketmaster and get amazing seats. It seems this is the only show that has TM's "Choose Your Seats" interactive map active for the show. In that same center section ($110 front row seats on stubhub) you can look and see there are lots of available seats. Same for the mirrored section on the other side of the arena.
Even the VIP GA tickets have gone down in price from mandatory $350 vip package to $199 to $141 (same price as regular GA).

Nobody plays football quite like Thomas Mueller. From his gangly posture, his irregular touch on the ball to his old-fashioned celebration of simple euphoria with every goal, Germany's Raumdeuter—or 'interpreter of space'—may only be 24 years old, but he is undoubtedly one of their most important players.
A star in his own right for Bayern Munich and Joachim Loew's formidable Die Mannschaft, Mueller approaches this coming World Cup in Brazil like a breath of fresh air and optimism.
What makes the young forward so valuable to club and country is his unpredictability. Where the likes of Miroslav Klose, Bastian Schweinsteiger and even Manuel Neuer may provide little else besides their flickering brilliance, Mueller has a gift to always show up at the right place in the right time to drag Germany onwards and upwards.
Here are his top six moments in a Germany top.

Whilst most athletes were enjoying their well-earned lunch break, six nervous finalists of our Letterbox competition made their way to the announcer's tent to see whether their key would open the Jetstar Letterbox.
After each athlete blindly selected their key from a hat, it came time to test their luck. Eventual winner Hayley Meddings had to wait while four athletes in front of her tried their lucky. With only two keys left to try, Hayley stepped up to the Letterbox and her key slipped right into the keyhole and successfully unlocked the lock!
Frankton athlete Hayley, entered the competition with a Jetstar star jump in front of a Jetstar billboard. Hayley won a family holiday to the Gold Coast for 4 people flying Jetstar, with 4 nights' accommodation at RACV Royal Pines Resort and 4 VIP Theme Park Passes are also included.
The five runner ups won a $250 Jetstar voucher.

Haru visits Canada to spend the summer holidays in the woodland house of his strict, strong-willed mother, Haruko. There, she burdens him with the responsibility of caring for his younger adoptive brother - a wild and unruly little boy named Ren who trusts no-one and prefers to wander in the woods with Haruko's dogs rather than associate other people. Haruko orders Haru to 'civilize' Ren. As the young man strives to teach Ren how to live in human society, their relationship gradually improves - so much so that Haru plans on taking his 'little brother' to Japan with him once he finds a job. Unfortunately, fate has a cruel habit of interfering with one's plans...

Elevated Levels of CO2
May Impair Cognitive Abilities, Study Says
Elevated levels of carbon dioxide in indoor settings
can have a detrimental effect on decision-making abilities and work performance
, according to a new study. In a series of tests, U.S. researchers exposed 22 healthy adults to different levels of carbon dioxide concentrations (600 parts-per-million, 1,000 ppm, and 2,500 ppm) in an office-like room. Under each condition, the participants were asked to take a computer-based test that measured their decision-making abilities. According to the findings,
published in the journal
Environmental Health Perspectives
, the participants' performance declined notably on six of nine tests when CO2 levels were increased to 1,000 ppm; performance declined substantially on seven of the tests when levels were bumped to 2,500 ppm. Earlier research has associated increased student absences and poorer performance with higher CO2 levels, said William Fisk, a researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and co-author of the study. "But we never thought CO2 was actually responsible," he said. "We assumed it was a proxy for other [pollutants]."

Self-Driving Vehicles
Approved for California Roadways
California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a law that
will allow self-driving vehicles on the state's public roadways
by next year. While fully automated vehicle technology may be years away, the California law establishes safety and performance regulations for testing these cars next year — provided that the driver is ready to take control of the vehicle if needed. Several companies, including Google,
are developing self-driving cars
that utilize a series of sensors — including GPS, cameras, lasers, and radar — as well as data from other vehicles to learn what is around the vehicle and guide its navigation. Developers say the innovative technology has the potential to improve safety, reduce congestion, and improve fuel efficiency. "We're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality," said Brown, who drove to the signing ceremony at Google's Mountain View headquarters in the passenger seat of a vehicle that steered itself.

Air Pollution in Europe
Shortening Lives of Urban Dwellers
Air pollution in Europe
is shortening lifespans by an average of eight months
and by as much as two years in the most polluted cities and regions, according to a report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). While the European Union has cut emissions of many harmful pollutants over the last decade, the report finds that nearly a third of urban dwellers
are still exposed to harmful levels of airborne particulate matter
, tiny pollutants small enough to penetrate the respiratory system and cause serious health ailments. About 21 percent of city dwellers are exposed to particulate matter above EU health standards. And 17 percent were exposed to higher levels of ozone, which can cause respiratory problems. "In many countries, air pollutant concentrations are still above the legal and recommended limits that are set to protect the health of European citizens," said Jacqueline McGlade, executive director of the EEA. According to the report, humans living in industrial regions of Eastern Europe face the highest exposure to harmful pollutants.

Explosive Urban Growth
To Put Major Strain on Biodiversity
The world's urban areas
will expand by more than 1.2 million square kilometers by 2030
, nearly tripling the area of urban development that existed worldwide in 2000, according to a new study. That development surge, researchers say, will coincide with construction of new roads, buildings, and energy and water systems, causing considerable habitat loss in critical biodiversity hotspots — including many regions that were relatively undisturbed by development only a decade ago. Writing in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
, researchers from Yale, Texas A&M, and Boston University predicted that nearly half of that urban expansion will occur in Asia, particularly in China and India. Urban growth will occur fastest in Africa, they say, with a projected six-fold increase in land development compared with 2000. "Given the long life and near irreversibility of infrastructure investments, it will be critical for current urbanization-related policies to consider their lasting impacts," said Karen Seto, an associate professor at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and lead author of the study.

In an analysis of management practices and yield data for 17 major crops worldwide, researchers from McGill University in Montreal and the University of Minnesota estimated that yields for most crops can be increased 45 to 70 percent on lands already used for agriculture through more efficient fertilizer application and irrigation.
Writing in the journal
, the scientists found that the deployment of best-practice farming
could boost global yields of corn, wheat, and rice by 64 percent, 71 percent, and 47 percent
, respectively. In some parts of the world, including the U.S., China, and Western Europe, the study found that far more fertilizer is used than necessary, with much of it ultimately washing into waterways. Through more efficient use of that fertilizer, nutrients could be made available for use in Eastern Europe and Western Africa without adversely affecting communities in the U.S. and China.

Drought Conditions Trigger
Smallest Gulf 'Dead Zone' in Years
U.S. scientists say the nation's worst drought in five decades has had at least one positive effect:
the smallest so-called "dead zone" seen in the Gulf of Mexico in years
. In a 1,200-mile research cruise conducted in the
Algal blooms in the Gulf of Mexico
waters of the gulf this month, scientists from Texas A&M University found only 1,580 square miles of oxygen-depleted, or hypoxic, water in the gulf, compared with 3,400 square miles last August. The hypoxic zone is created when algal blooms, caused by large amounts of fertilizer and nutrients washing into the gulf, remove oxygen from the water and suffocate marine life. According to the researchers, hypoxia was found only in the waters near the Mississippi River delta, which accounts for nearly 90 percent of all freshwater runoff in the gulf; no hypoxia was observed off the Texas coast. "What has happened is that the drought has caused very little fresh-water runoff and nutrient load into the gulf, and that means a smaller region for marine life to be impacted," said Steve DiMarco, an oceanographer at Texas A&M.

Wildlife Vanishing in Brazil's
Fragmented Atlantic Forest, Study Says
The fragmentation of tropical forests in eastern Brazil as a result of agricultural expansion and other human activities has decimated biodiversity even within the pockets of forest that still remain,
a new study has found
. Using wildlife surveys and interviews conducted at 196 forest fragments across a 253,000-square-kilometer region inside Brazil's Atlantic Forest, a team of researchers estimated that only about 22 percent of the animals that once inhabited the region are still there —
far lower than earlier estimates
. According to their findings,
published in the journal
PLoS ONE
, white-lipped peccaries have been "completely wiped out," while jaguars, lowland tapirs, woolly spider-monkeys and giant anteaters are essentially extinct. The loss of wildlife has even extended to areas where forest canopies are still relatively intact, said Carlos Peres, an ecologist at the University of East Anglia and lead author of the study. While the Atlantic Forest once covered more than 1.5 million square kilometers, about 90 percent has been cleared for agriculture, pasture, or urban expansion. Most remaining patches of forest, researchers say, are about the size of a football field.

Auto-Related Pollution in L.A.
Declined 98 Percent Over 50 Years
Levels of some automobile-related pollutants in Los Angeles
have plummeted by 98 percent since the 1960s
, even as gasoline consumption nearly tripled during the same period, a new study says. Levels of volatile organic
Spensatron 5000/Flickr
compounds (VOCs), which are emitted from the tailpipes of cars and are a key ingredient in ground-level smog, have dropped steadily and fell by about half between 2002 and 2010, researchers found. "The reason is simple: Cars are getting cleaner," said Carsten Warneke, a researcher at the University of Colorado and lead author of the study,
published in the
Journal of Geophysical Research
. Using data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and California air quality measurements, the scientists calculated that VOC levels declined by an average of 7.5 percent per year. Researchers attributed the steep decline to the required use of catalytic converters, introduction of fuels less prone to evaporate, and improved engine efficiency.

Historic Blackouts Reveal
Troubling Holes in India's Power Network
The historic blackouts that left more than 670 million people in India without electricity this week revealed profound problems with a power network struggling to keep pace with one of the world's fastest growing economies, experts say. While it's unclear what specifically triggered this week's massive grid failures,
which knocked out power in 20 Indian states
, government officials
accused several northern states of drawing more power from the grid
than their allocated amounts. Another factor may have been increased electricity usage caused by unusually high water pumping for irrigation as a result of weak monsoon rains. Experts say the blackouts reveal a fundamental gap between supply and demand in a nation that aspires to be a global economic leader. While India has increased its power capacity more than 35 percent in the last five years,
a peak-hour electricity shortfall of about 10 percent exists
and hundreds of millions of people in rural areas have no access to electricity. As much as two-thirds of India's electricity comes from the burning of coal and some plants are struggling to meet demand because of a coal shortage.

Urban Noise May Increase
Mortality of Songbirds, Study Finds
A new study says that urban noise
may cause an increase in mortality among young sparrows
, suggesting that adult birds are less able to hear their hungry offspring above the clamor of their surrounding environment. In a long-term study conducted on a small, remote island off the UK coast, scientists from the University of Sheffield found that birds nesting in noisy areas were less effective at feeding their chicks than those living in quiet areas, and actually produced fewer offspring. Chicks that were reared in a loud barn, for instance, were lighter when they were ready for flight, a factor that could affect a young bird's chances for survival, said Julia Schroeder, co-author of the study
published in the journal
PLoS ONE
. "There are lots of studies on great tits and urban noise, but these tend to focus around mate choice, where the male advertises its quality to the female," Schroeder told BBC News. "But the idea that the communication between parents and offspring could be affected in cities is fairly new."

Recent Policies May Undermine
Brazil's Green Progress, Scientists Say
Recent policies enacted by the Brazilian government — including changes to its Forest Code and a push to build 30 new dams in the Amazon region — threaten to undermine critical environmental progress made by the nation over the last two decades, scientists say. In
a declaration
published after its annual meeting in Bonito, Brazil, the
Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation
(ATBC) stated that government policies to reduce deforestation and protect indigenous lands had made Brazil a global conservation model over the last two decades. "But recent developments raise concerns," said John Kress, a botanist at the Smithsonian Institution who is executive director of the ATBC. The group cited recent changes to Brazil's forest protection laws that they say favor agribusiness and will likely increase deforestation in the Amazon, as well as
numerous large-scale dam projects
that will interfere with critical fish migration routes and flood vast areas of rainforest and indigenous communities.

Cities in U.S. Northwest
Adopt Aggressive Recycling Programs
Seattle, San Francisco, and Portland, Ore., have all adopted stringent recycling programs that have generally been embraced by citizens in these progressive cities and have
significantly reduced the amount of garbage going to landfills
The New York Times
reports that Portland has cut the amount of garbage going to landfills by 44 percent by recycling a wide range of materials, including food scraps, and collecting garbage only twice a month. San Francisco, which has adopted even more aggressive recycling initiatives, now reuses 78 percent of what enters its waste stream, compared with the national average of 34 percent. This summer, Seattle is opening a mammoth new waste transfer station that will enable it to sort through and recycle a large portion of its garbage, the
reports. With citizens in these relatively small cities — all with populations under 800,000 — pushing for a zero-waste policy, Seattle says that by 2018 it will even provide some neighborhoods with containers to recycle dog and cat waste, turning the excrement into power using anaerobic digests.

Elevated Ozone Levels
Trigger Heart Risks for Healthy Adults
Exposure to ozone at levels sometimes present in the world's most polluted cities can trigger potentially dangerous changes to human cardiovascular systems,
according to a new study
. In a series of tests conducted
Wikimedia Commons
Mexico City smog
on 23 healthy adults, scientists found evidence of cardiac inflammation and heart rhythm disturbance after exposure to air containing ozone at 0.3 parts per million for two hours — about the same dose they would receive if exposed to ozone levels exceeding the U.S. standard of 0.075 parts per million over eight hours. According to the findings,
published in the journal
, the blood levels of several inflammatory agents increased — more than doubling in some cases — after ozone exposure. This finding "caught us by surprise," said Robert Devlin, a toxicologist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and lead author of the study. "We think it's one of the more important and significant findings." Heavily polluted cities such as Beijing and Mexico City often have extremely high ozone levels, and ozone in U.S. cities such as Los Angeles and Houston can reach levels equal to those used in the experiment.

Major World Cities
Cite Progress in CO2-Reduction Effort
Speaking at the Rio+20 sustainability summit, the mayors of New York City and Rio de Janeiro will announce that 48 of the world's largest cities are taking steps
to cut 248 tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020
, the equivalent of removing 44 million cars from the road for a year. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes said that four-dozen cities in the
C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group
are reducing emissions by launching energy efficiency programs, capturing methane in landfills, installing more efficient street lighting, and other initiatives. They cite the CO2 reductions as proof that cities can make significant progress on slashing greenhouse gases even in the absence of a global agreement on cutting carbon emissions. "We're not arguing with each other about emissions targets," Bloomberg told reporters in a teleconference. "What we're doing is going out and making progress." Bloomberg and Paes said that 59 cities have committed to cut their carbon emissions by a total of 1 billion tons by 2030, equivalent to the combined greenhouse gas emissions of Canada and Mexico.

Environmentalists, Activists
Being Killed at Alarming Rate, Report Says
At least one person is killed per week in disputes over environmental protection or land rights as the competition for natural resources globally becomes increasingly violent,
according to a new report
. In a survey of incidents worldwide, the group Global Witness estimated that 711 environmental activists, journalists or community members have been killed during the last decade over disputes involving land and forest rights. In 2011 alone, the number was 106, which was twice the number of killings in 2009. The report's authors say it provides a stark reminder of a "hidden crisis" and highlights a culture of impunity and a lack of oversight in many countries. The greatest number of killings reportedly occurred in Brazil, Colombia, the Philippines and Peru. "It is a well-known paradox that many of the world's poorest countries are home to the resources that drive the global economy,"
the report said
. "Now, as the race to secure access to these resources intensifies, it is poor people and activists who increasingly find themselves in the firing line."

Environmental Tipping Point
Is Nearing, International Study Says
The rapid warming of the planet, a soaring human population, the steady loss of biodiversity, over-exploitation of energy resources, and the degradation of the world's oceans are
driving the world toward an ecological tipping point,
according to a new study in
. Twenty-two scientists from five nations compared the major changes taking place today with previous ecological shifts — such as the end of the last Ice Age 14,000 to 18,000 years ago — that triggered mass extinctions of some species, expansions of others, and the creation of new global ecosystems. The paper said that while there is still considerable uncertainty as to whether the world is now approaching such a "state shift," many signs point to a future of ecological upheaval. "Given all the pressures we are putting on the world, if we do nothing different, I believe we are looking at a time scale of a century or even a few decades for a tipping point to arrive," lead author
Anthony Barnosky
, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, said in an interview.

Wind Farms Consider
Radar Systems to Prevent Bird Deaths
The operators of large California wind farms are considering the use of
advanced radar and telemetry systems to reduce the number of birds killed
by spinning turbines located in critical migration pathways. The so-called avian radar systems, which
American Bird Conservancy
have been deployed at wind farms in Texas and Europe, would be able to identify birds early enough to shut down the turbines, at least briefly, to prevent collisions. Advocates say the systems could prevent large-scale killings of many migratory songbird species, as well as the critically endangered California condor and the federally protected golden eagle. According to the
Los Angeles Times
, one possible customer for the radar systems is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, which operates a wind farm that is under federal investigation following the discovery of several dead golden eagles at the site. "Renewable energy operators are coming around to the view that they have to do something," said Gary Andrews, chief executive of De Tect Inc., a manufacturer of such systems. The systems, however, are expensive, at $500,000 per unit, and existing technologies typically have difficulty differentiating among bird species.

Street Lights Can Cause
Long-Term Ecological Changes, Study Says
The presence of artificial street lights
can alter the behavior of ground-dwelling invertebrates and insects
and ultimately change the structure and function of some ecosystems, according to a new study. In a series of tests in Cornwall in western England, researchers from the University of Exeter used 28 traps to capture 1,200 animals on the ground beneath street lights and in darker areas between the lights. According to their findings,
published in the journal
Biology Letters
, invertebrate predators and scavengers were more common underneath the lights, even during the daylight hours. Thomas Davies, a researcher at the University of Exeter and lead author of the study, said these findings suggest that nocturnal behavior is affecting habitat preference overall, and could have implications for critical ecosystem services, including pollination and the breakdown of organic matter. "It's amazing how long we've been using street lighting and artificial lighting, and how little research has been done on the impact of those lights on the environment," he told

Australia Lists Koala As
Threatened Species for First Time
The Australian government
has added the koala to the list of threatened species
in parts of the country for the first time, saying the iconic species is under threat from habitat loss, urban expansion, disease, and climate change. Following a three-year study,
Environment Minister Tony Burke announced
that koalas will be listed as vulnerable in Queensland, where populations have declined by 40 percent in two decades; New South Wales, where numbers have dropped by one-third; and the Australian Capital Territory. In addition to the listing, which will impose restrictions on development in areas where the species is threatened, the government committed $300,000 for koala monitoring and habitat research. Not only are koalas facing declining food sources as eucalypt plants are aggressively cleared for development, but scientists say the nutritional value of remaining eucalypts has diminished as a result of climate change. While the government says there are about 200,000 remaining koalas nationwide, the Australian Koala Foundation estimates there are likely fewer than 100,000.

Africa Could Produce
More E-Waste Than Europe by 2017
Africa, typically a dumping ground for electronic waste from other nations,
could produce more e-waste than the European Union by 2017
, experts say. Across Africa, a combination of population growth and increased access to mobile phones and other technology will produce a surge in e-waste over the next five years, Miranda Amachree of Nigeria's National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency told reporters at the Pan-African Forum on E-Waste. While the continent has long received thousands of tons of waste for disposal from developing nations, a recent report by the UN Basel Convention found as much as 85 percent of Africa's e-waste is now local.
That report
found that in five West African nations ten times as many people have personal computers as a decade ago, and 100 times as many people have cellphones. In those countries alone, as much as 1 million tons of domestic e-waste is now generated per year. Katharina Kummer Peiry, of the Basel Convention, said African nations must "move towards more formal recycling in order to ensure precious metals are properly extracted from, say, mobile phones."

New York Roof Study Shows
Drastic Cooling with White Surfaces
A New York City roof covered in a white synthetic membrane was on average
43 degrees F cooler than surrounding black tar and asphalt roofs
during times of peak heat last summer, according to a study by scientists from Columbia University and NASA. On the
hottest day of the summer — July 22, 2011, when the city set a record for electricity usage during a heat wave — the dark surfaces of some city roofs reached 170 degrees F, while temperatures on the white test roof peaked at less than 130 degrees F. The city's
CoolRoofs initiative
is working to install "living roofs" with plants and to convert many tar and asphalt roofs to a white color using membranes or white paint. The goal, the city says, is to help reduce the urban "heat island" effect, which can boost temperatures by 5 to 7 degrees F, especially at night. Lowering the heat island effect would reduce demand for air conditioning and cut illnesses and deaths during heat waves. Converting roofs to white is cheaper than planting "living roofs," the researchers noted. "Bright is the new black," said Stuart Gaffin, a Columbia scientist and lead author of the study, which was published in the journal
Environmental Research Letters.

Short-term Exposure to Pollutants
Increases Heart Attack Risk, Study Says
A new report says that even short-term exposure to major air pollutants
increases the risk of heart attack
. In an analysis of more than 100 studies conducted worldwide, researchers from the Paris Cardiovascular Research Center found that increased exposure to pollutants — including fine particles, coarse particles, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide — consistently increased the health risks after even short-term exposure, or less than seven days. While the risk from pollutant exposure was relatively small, compared with factors such as high blood pressure, the number of people breathing these pollutants worldwide is so large that a sizable number of people are at risk, the study said. In the case of fine particles, the researchers found that heart attacks increased 2.5 percent for every incremental increase in pollution levels. In other words, if fine particle levels reached 10 micrograms per cubic meter in one city, and 20 micrograms in another, the rate of heart attacks would be 2.5 percent greater in the second city, according to the study,
published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association
. Most of the pollutants are associated with the burning of fossil fuels for transportation or industry. In a separate study, MIT researchers found that air pollution associated with China's steep industrial growth
caused health care costs to jump from $22 billion in 1975 to $112 billion in 2005

Electric Vehicles in China
Pollute More Than Gas-Fueled Cars
The use of electric cars in China
produces more particulate matter pollution than gasoline-fueled vehicles
, according to a new study. In an analysis of five vehicle technologies in 34 major Chinese cities, U.S. researchers found that the power generated to run electric cars produces significantly greater particulate matter emissions because 80 percent of China's electricity comes from coal-burning power plants. While those plants are typically located far from population centers, the researchers nevertheless found that the difference in pollution is so great that electric vehicles are still more harmful to the public health per-kilometer traveled than conventional vehicles. The study,
published in the journal
Environmental Science and Technology
, emphasizes that electric vehicles are a cleaner option if powered by a clean energy source. "In China and elsewhere, it is important to focus on deploying electric vehicles in cities with cleaner electricity generation and focusing on improving emissions controls in higher polluting power sectors," said Chris Cherry, a researcher at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and lead author of the study.

Wastewater Reuse Could Increase
U.S. Supplies 27 Percent, Report Says
Advanced treatment of municipal wastewater could increase available water supplies in the U.S. by 27 percent, according to
a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences
. Of the 32 billion gallons of municipal wastewater discharged each day nationwide, about 12 billion gallons of effluent is emptied into an ocean or estuary, the report said. Existing treatment technologies would allow municipalities to reuse that water for a variety of purposes — including irrigation, industrial use and drinking water — while posing no increased risk of exposure to microbial or chemical contaminants than in some existing drinking water systems. As
reported in the
New York Times
, an increasing number of U.S. communities are utilizing wastewater reuse technologies — including a pilot plant in San Diego that produces about 1 million gallons of clean drinking water daily — or are considering it. According to the National Academy report, increased stress on water supplies as a result of climate change and population growth will require many municipalities to consider alternative sources of water.

China Sets First-Ever Cap
On Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Chinese government has ordered five cities and two provinces to set
caps on greenhouse gas emissions
in preparation for a series of regional carbon markets. Last week, China's National Development and Reform Commission urged Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenzhen, as well as the provinces of Hubei and Guangdong,
to set "overall emissions control targets
" and submit strategy proposals on how to achieve them. A plan developed by Guangdong — which commits the province to achieving 20 percent of its total energy consumption from non-fossil fuels by 2015 — has already been approved by the central government. The province must also cut its "carbon intensity," or the CO2 emissions per unit of economic growth, by 19.5 percent. China as a whole, which has already passed the U.S. as the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter, has committed to reducing its carbon intensity by 40 to 45 percent by 2020.

Mandatory Roof Gardens Urged
As Solution to Singapore Flooding
A panel formed to study solutions to increased flooding in Singapore
has urged the government to require green roofs
on new and retrofitted buildings. The 12-member panel, which was created after torrential rains caused flash flooding across eastern and central Singapore last year, said improved weather modeling and infrastructure improvements are needed to handle a surge in stormwater runoff caused by urbanization in Singapore. In the meantime, however, the panel urged simpler steps to reduce and delay flooding, including better storage tanks, porous pavements, and rain gardens. Such rooftop gardens, which are often added to reduce heat or for aesthetic reasons,
can absorb six to 34 liters of water per square meter
and limit water flow, local contractors said. After flash floods inundated large areas of Singapore last June for the second consecutive year, a government official warned that the nation's drainage system is
not equipped to handle the region's "changing" weather patterns

Map Projects When U.S. Cities
Will Achieve Grid Parity for Solar
If energy cost trends remain consistent — with the price of retail electricity rising and solar power falling —
solar energy could become cheaper than power from the grid
in most major U.S. metropolitan areas by 2027,
Click to enlarge
Energy Self-Reliant States
Grid parity in U.S. states
according to a recent projection. In
a new map published on the Energy Self-Reliant States website
, energy policy analyst John Farrell has predicted which U.S. cities will achieve so-called "grid parity" first — and the order in which other cities will follow through 2027. Farrell, a researcher with the group, Local Self-Reliance, based his projections on recent regional retail rates for electricity, which have seen the cost of solar energy decline by an average of 7 percent per year and the cost of retail electricity increase by 2 percent annually. If that trend holds, Farrell predicts that San Diego will become the first city to achieve grid parity, in 2013, followed by New York in 2015. By 2020, 17 metropolitan areas nationwide will have reached grid parity; the number will jump to more than 40 by 2027, he projects.

, uses circles of various sizes and hues to represent population density, with larger, darker circles showing areas with fewer people, and smaller, lighter circles representing the world's most crowded cities and regions. China, home to eight of the world's 20 most populated cities, contains a series of tightly packed orange and yellow dots. Likewise, the populous nations of India and Pakistan are almost uniformly dense until they reach political boundaries or geographic features, such as the Himalayas. Meanwhile, the larger, darkly hued dots illustrate less populated regions, including Saharan Africa and Siberia.

Carbon Sinks in Estuaries
Have Been Degraded by Industrial Activity
The ability of the world's estuaries, salt marshes, and mangrove swamps to sequester carbon has been
seriously degraded by industrial activity
, according to a study by Australian researchers. Scientists at the University of Technology, Sydney, examined layers of estuary sediment in Sydney's Botany Bay for the past 6,000 years. They found that sea grass abundance has declined sharply, while quantities of micro-algae have soared. Increasing nitrogen deposition and pollution are the main culprits in destroying seagrass beds, which have the capacity to store as much as 100 times more carbon than micro-algae. The researchers dated the sediments using radiocarbon dating and determined the plant makeup of the Botany Bay estuary by examining isotopic ratios of seagrass versus micro-algae. Reporting in the journal
Global Change Biology
, lead researcher Peter Macreadie said the results show the importance of preserving and restoring so-called "blue carbon habitats" in wetlands and estuaries. The partial loss of these carbon sinks has "severely hampered the ability of nature to reset the planet's thermostat."

Garbage Pickers Protest
New Wave of Trash Incinerators
A growing coalition of poor workers who earn a living by scouring trash heaps for recyclables in the world's poorest cities
are protesting new incinerators being built
to convert that trash into electricity. While the UN has encouraged the incinerators as a means of generating electricity and preventing methane emissions — and the Kyoto Protocol provides nations carbon credits for such projects — many workers say they depend on picking recyclable materials from the waste heaps for their livelihoods. In New Delhi this month, hundreds of waste workers gathered outside UN offices to protest 21 proposed incinerator projects for which India hopes to receive carbon credits. Similar coalitions are forming in Brazil, South Africa, and Colombia. In India alone, an estimated 1.7 million people earn a living by picking through garbage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ellie1824 from Realistic and good VFM Bought 2 of these to add new features to my recently redecorated bathroom. They are realistic and good quality for the money paid. Already had compliments about them (they thought the plants and gravel were real and that the bases looked like good quality wood). A lovely addition to the other green accents chosen to modernise my dated bathroom.

It comes in either white or black and after a small row with my girlfriend we decided to go with the white one - she wanted a black one. You can tell who wears the pants in our relationship!

Background and Aims: Increased resting energy expenditure (REE) unmatched by dietary intake is implicated as a cause of poor nutrition in childhood inflammatory conditions. Adequate description of disease activity and correction of REE data for body composition are important to reach reliable conclusions about changes in REE associated with disease. The present study aimed to determine the effect of disease activity measured by clinical status, systemic and stool inflammatory markers on REE in children with Crohn disease using appropriate correction for confounding factors.
Methods: Sixty children with Crohn disease were recruited from the regional paediatric gastroenterology unit and studied on 1 occasion. REE was measured by indirect calorimetry. Fat-free mass (FFM) was estimated by skinfold thickness. Disease activity was measured using systemic (C-reactive protein [CRP], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) and faecal markers of inflammation (lactoferrin, calprotectin) and clinical scores (Paediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index).
Results: Using a multiple regression model, there was no significant change in REE from active or inactive disease (β = 0.03, P = 0.7) nor from CRP (β = −0.05, P = 0.52), ESR (β = −0.07, P = 0.43), faecal calprotectin (β = −0.07, P = 0.38), and faecal lactoferrin (β = 0.01, P = 0.88). REE/kg FFM0.5 was not associated with the Paediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index (r = 0.1, P = 0.44), CRP (r = −0.3, P = 0.84) or ESR (r = 0.12, P = 0.4), faecal calprotectin (r = 0.04, P = 0.97), or faecal lactoferrin (r = 0.02, P = 0.87).
Conclusions: REE corrected for physiologically relevant confounders is not associated with degree of disease activity using clinical tools or systemic and local inflammatory markers, and therefore is an unlikely mechanism for poor nutritional state.

Lite On FS020 Mid/Full Tower Case review
Update - Price and one feature I left out
The price of this case has dropped approximately $60 over the year since I wrote my review below at the same website - outsideloop.com so now you can grab it for less! One feature I discovered while reading one of the more recent reviews of this case is that the back of the case behind the powersupply has a little bit of room and little holes so you can run your cables behind the back of the case and keep the front a little cleaner of excess wire thus improving asthetics and airflow just that much more. With the new price tag and discovery of this new feature I'm boosting my original score of 4.5 to 4.8 - +.1 for the newly discovered feature (its not amazing, just a nice discovery) and the new price tag would have to boost it quite a bit, +.2 up to 4.8
One more thing I would like to mention is that although this case is very user friendly it is not as user friendly as the Lian-Li cases such as the PC-60. They are all aluminum so they are cool and light and have a buttload of nice features that make working on your computer hardware as easy as I've ever seen it.
Still Recommended after a year of use!

Top Stories
Activision Blizzard, management in $8.2B buyout. Vivendi (OTCPK:VIVHY) has announced its second major deal - or possible deal - this week, saying it has agreed to sell 85% of its stake in Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI) to the computer-games company and its management for $8.2B. Activision will buy back 429M shares from Vivendi for $5.83B, using $1.2B of cash and debt of $4.6B, while a consortium led by Activision CEO Bobby Kotick and co-Chairman Brian Kelly will acquire 172M shares for $2.34B. Activision's shares soared 10.3% pre-market.
Amazon tells the same old story. Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Q2 earnings missed expectations as the company's massive spending on distribution and IT centers, video and much else once again hit the bottom line. Amazon swung to a net loss of $7M from a profit of $7M a year earlier, losses per share were $0.02 and revenue jumped 22% to $15.7B. While some analysts worry about spiraling costs, the bull camp still expects the spending to pay off brilliantly in the future. Shares were -2.5% pre-market.
Samsung net profit surges 50% to $6.8B. Samsung's (OTC:SSNLF) net profit jumped 50% to another record of 7.6T won (US$6.8B) in Q2 as revenue climbed 20.7% to 57.46T won. As you'd expect, Samsung's earnings were driven by its mobile unit, where operating profit rose 52% to 6.28T won, although margins dropped to 17.7% from 19.8% in Q1. Income at Samsung's chip business soared 17% and profit at the display division jumped 58%, but at the consumer-electronics operations, earnings fell 41%. Shares dropped 0.9% in Seoul.
Top Stock News
Starbucks earnings keep investors satiated. Starbucks' (NASDAQ:SBUX) shares climbed 6.3% pre-market after FQ3 profit at Wall Street's favorite coffee shop topped expectations and the company boosted its guidance. Net profit rose 25% to $417.8M, EPS came in at $0.55 and revenues increased 13% to $3.7B, boosted by broad gains across Starbucks' different geographies. Customers remained loyal, pre-loading cards faster than ever and absorbing price hikes. The news is just as rosy for FY14, with Starbucks forecasting double-digit revenue growth and operating-margin improvement of approximately 150-200 bps over FY13.
Samsung's lead over Apple in smartphone market widens. Global smartphone shipments grew 47% on year to a record 230M units in Q2, research firm Strategy Analytics estimates, with the devices accounting for 59% of all phones sold. Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) held its position as sector leader as its shipments grew 56% to 76M devices, giving it a market share of 33.1%. Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) volumes rose 20% to 31.2M, leaving it with a lower share of 13.6%.
UBS to pay $885M over mortgage bonds. UBS (NYSE:UBS) has agreed to pay the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency $885M to settle claims that the Swiss bank misrepresented mortgage-backed securities sold to Fannie Mae (OTCQB:FNMA) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC) from 2004-2007. Not unusually, UBS was able to get away without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. The bank is one of 18 companies that the FHFA has been pursuing.
Nasdaq among victims of cyber credit-card scam. Nasdaq (NASDAQ:NDAQ) is one of a number of companies that fell victim to an East European hacking group that stole at least 160M payment-card numbers and caused combined losses of over $300M. Federal prosecutors yesterday charged five men in the largest cyber-crime case in U.S. history. Other victims include J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) and Dow Jones (NASDAQ:NWS). Many of the breaches were known about, although prosecutors disclosed an attack on Nasdaq that hadn't been previously publicized.
Halliburton admits to destroying evidence. Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) has agreed to plead guilty to destroying evidence in connection with the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The oil-services company will pay the maximum possible statutory fine, which is just $200,000, although the firm is making a $55M donation to the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation. As part of the plea deal, Halliburton will be subject to three years of probation and will continue to cooperate in the government's criminal investigation.
Top Economic & Other News
Japanese inflation highest in five years. Japan's core CPI, which excludes food, rose for the first time in 14 months in June and increased a greater-than-expected 0.4%, a level that was also the highest for five years. However, the CPI reading that excludes food and energy dropped 0.2%, which, along with the weak dollar and tepid earnings, helped to send Japanese shares 3% lower. What the country needs is rising wages so that consumers can afford the higher prices.
China tells 1,400 firms to cut production. China has ordered over 1,400 companies in 19 sectors to reduce excess output this year as part of the government's strategy of re-balancing the economy. The firms affected include those in the steel, ferroalloys, electrolytic aluminum, copper smelting, cement and paper industries. "This is a real move and is very specific," says ANZ economist Raymond Yeung. "They maintain the overall tone that they're not focusing on the quantity of growth but the quality of growth."
Cash exits muni bonds as fears grow of more city bankruptcies. Municipal bond funds experienced outflows of $1.2B in the week through Wednesday amid rising concerns that other cities will follow Detroit in declaring bankruptcy. It was the ninth week in a row of net outflows, with the exit beginning after the Fed started chatting about tapering. Yesterday, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes suspended lawsuits in state courts that seek to halt Detroit's bankruptcy filing.

The wine is a blend of 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc, fermenting in stainless steel vats with no yeasting or other oenological additions. The winemaker is doing a long maceration to get a good components extraction to give to the wine the best expression of its terroir. The wine is very round and well-balanced, with a nice fruity expression. Soft tannins and a long and persistent finish.
