December 20, 2011 (Press-News.org) Lead was used in a wide range of consumer and commercial products over the last century. Unfortunately, lead is also a highly toxic metal that is known to cause serious health problems and even death. The most common source of lead poisoning today is lead-based paint. While lead paint has been removed from buildings in the past few decades, lead paint chips and lead dust are still a common sight in many apartment buildings. These problems are especially bad in low-rent buildings, most of which have not been rehabbed.
Children have the greatest risk of developing lead poisoning. In part, because many of their internal organs and systems are still developing, and in part because children simply cannot handle the same lead levels that an adult can.

Atlanta tree services company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is reminding homeowners and property managers of the importance of properly preparing trees for winter.

The 4th R Foundation: We've Found the Scrooge of Mankind; It is the Emotional Baggage in our Brains that Causes our Selfishness/Ego/Sins/Failures/Sickness - Our Self Image! Let's Wake Up to this Mess
2011-12-20
From individual to collective failings are all due to our brains running on false emotional data generated by the selfish self-image. From wars to divorce, from Wall Street greed to the absence of pure happiness, from depression to corruption, from economic deficits to anger and all the other ills of society, the basic cause is our defective emotional intelligence.
Scientists are reluctant to take up emotional intelligence education as emotional intelligence is connected to the mind, brain and consciousness; topics that science has not been able to define and understand ...

Study suggests early ART in recently HIV-infected patients preferable to delayed treatment
2011-12-19
Among people recently infected with HIV, immediate antiretroviral therapy (ART) appears preferable to deferring treatment, according to a new study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases and now available online. Although the benefits of ART during early HIV-1 infection remain unproven, the findings support growing evidence favoring earlier ART initiation.
Christine Hogan, MD, of the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, led a team of researchers from various institutions to investigate the effects of ART on individuals infected with HIV-1 within the previous ...

More female managers do not reduce wage gap
2011-12-19
Are wage differences between men and women decreasing as more women attain managerial positions? A new Swedish report from the Uppsala Center for Labor Studies (UCLS) at Uppsala University and the Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation (IFAU) concludes that they are not. Manager gender is tied to neither wages nor, accordingly, wage differences on the labour market.
Women held approximately 36 per cent of managerial positions within the Swedish employment market in 2008. That female managers are a minority is sometimes advanced as an explanation for the fact that ...
