SAN DIEGO, CA, April 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) In a report in Energy Digital, SOCWA sets the standard for its methods of handling wastewater in a way that respects its customers as much as the environment.
Ever wonder what happens to the water that goes down the drain after you brush your teeth in the morning, take a shower, flush the toilet or run the washing machine or dishwasher? For most of us, the answer is no—what's out of sight is out of mind. But as water becomes an increasingly valuable resource, especially to Californians, it's about time we start taking a look at just how important the process of treating that wastewater is to our health and the health of the environment.
At South Orange County Wastewater Authority (SOCWA), wastewater is collected, treated, reused and disposed of in a way that respects the environment as much as those whom it provides for.
Through a number of initiatives, SOCWA has become somewhat of a national leader in recycled water.

About SOCWA
Though the history of wastewater management in Orange County goes way back, SOCWA officially formed in 2001 when the South East Regional Reclamation Authority, Aliso Water Management Agency and South Orange County Reclamation Authority consolidated to meet the wastewater needs of over 500,000 homes and businesses across South Orange County. Having experienced rapid population growth over the years, the move to join forces established a more efficient system for the greater benefit of its customers.

Vanderbilt researchers help reveal complex role of genes in autism
2012-04-05
Nashville, TN -- Mutations in hundreds of genes involved in wiring the brain may contribute to the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
That is one of the rather daunting conclusions of a paper published in the current issue of the journal Nature by a multi-institutional team that included researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
But while there is no simple explanation for ASD, the researchers identified a few genes as "genuine risk factors," raising hopes that they will be able to discover the underlying biological cause of these disorders. ...
In-school tests suggest overweight boys and girls benefit from being fit
2012-04-05
BOSTON (April 4, 2012) – Improving or maintaining physical fitness appears to help obese and overweight children reach a healthy weight, reports a new study from the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University. Researchers analyzed four years of data from in-school fitness tests and body mass index (BMI) measurements of students in grades 1-7 in the city of Cambridge, Mass.
In the study published online March 15 by the journal Obesity, Sacheck and colleagues examined the association between weight status and fitness levels by assessing student ...

Community-onset Clostridium difficile linked to higher risk of surgery
2012-04-05
Chicago, IL (April 4, 2012) -- Patients whose symptoms of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) start outside of the hospital setting have a higher risk of colectomy due to severe infection, according to a large multicenter study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, the journal of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America.
Infection from C. difficile is associated with antibiotic use and results in colitis and diarrhea. Severe cases can be life-threatening. Colectomy, or ...
Improving equine health: Research studies vaccinations to protect newborn foals

A University of Tennessee professor's hypothesis may be game changer for evolutionary theory
2012-04-05
A new hypothesis posed by a University of Tennessee, Knoxville, associate professor and colleagues could be a game changer in the evolution arena. The hypothesis suggests some species are surviving by discarding genes and depending on other species to play their hand.
The groundbreaking "Black Queen Hypothesis" got its name from the game of Hearts.
In Hearts, the goal is to avoid "winning" the Queen of Spades (the Black Queen), which is worth a lot of points. Subsequently, players allow others to take the high-point card while they enjoy low-score tallies.
