Carters My Plumber has formed a team with Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) to help in the fight of finding a cure for cancer, and in honor of 10 year survivor, Jamie Carter. Jamie is the owner of Carters My Plumber. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer 10 years ago. He underwent surgery to remove the tumor, and endured a 9 week intensive regimen of chemotherapy. Jamie was treated by Dr. Einhorn of I.U. Medical Center, which is the same doctor who treated Lance Armstrong. Jamies treatment was successful and has been cancer free for 10 years.
Stand Up To Cancers Mission: United in one unstoppable movement
Cancer takes one person every minute. Every day in America 1500 people die despite the fact that ground breaking research and medication is within reach of saving lives.
For the first time in history, the possibility of stopping cancer in its tracks is within site. Now more than ever, as government funding for cancer research is disappearing from the national agenda, every single person affected by cancer must stand up and be heard.
SU2C has a unique funding model, which was developed with the help of prominent cancer researchers, to encourage collaboration and innovation through two new types of scientific grants:
Dream Team grants are awarded to multi-institutional groups of scientists who work collaboratively, rather than competitively, to develop new treatments quickly in order to save lives now.
Innovative Research Grants support groundbreaking cancer research projects that are high-risk but could also be high-impact, and have the potential to significantly affect patient care.
Carters My Plumber is CARTERstrong:
Carters My Plumber owners, Jamie and Lisa Carter, have a heart to help others. Jamie has had the experience of cancer, and wants to encourage others to seek medical help if any symptoms develop. His first symptom was pain in the groin area, and because Lisa is a RN, he sought medical attention immediately. After a few rounds of antibiotics, and no relief, his urologist suggested surgery. Jamie didnt hesitate knowing something wasnt right. Lisa is now a Certified Cancer Coach & Educator and trains patients battling cancer to make lifestyle and dietary changes, along with providing progressive research to find the best possible solution for treatment. Carters My Plumber has formed a team through the Stand Up To Cancer organization in order to raise money to further cancer research and find the cure. Carters My Plumber is honoring 10 year survivor, Jamie Carter, in the month of November which is the anniversary of his initial diagnosis and treatment. Carters My Plumber is CARTERstrong for owner, Jamie Carter.

Q: Dear Ed: You're our favorite plumber and we need a few ideas. We're replacing our counters and plan to install stone countertops with an under-mount-style sink. What current trends do you recommend we include with our new kitchen sink? Mary, Idaho
A: Choosing a quality faucet is key. However, most kitchen faucets can easily be replaced down the road. Under-mount-style sinks can be another story.
Since the counter locks the sink in place, the kitchen sink you choose may stay in place for a very long time. So I recommend following the new trend of installing a new kitchen sink with built-in accessories. Stock accessories are also available for existing sinks.
But in your case, here are three popular custom add-ons for a new kitchen sink:
1. Bottom sink racks: These are drain racks that sit on the bottom of the sink bowls. They also protect sink bottoms to help your sink look new even after years of use.
2. Custom cutting boards: Specially designed to fit your sink profile, custom cutting surfaces allow you to prepare foods and easily sweep the scraps right into your disposer.
3. Saddle racks: Fairly new on the market, a saddle rack hangs over a sink divider wall. This allows one to turn that wasted space into a towel rack and/or a handy sponge holder, and that can really "clean up" the look of your new kitchen sink.

Radical new Trojan Female pest control approach shows great promise
An innovative, non-lethal approach to pest management has the potential to become a game-changer in providing lasting and effective control in a wide range of insect and animal pests, according to New Zealand scientists developing the technique.
Researchers from the University of Otago, the University of Western Australia, the Ministry for Primary Industries, and Landcare Research today published findings about their proposed Trojan Female Technique (TFT) in the prestigious journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The technique harnesses naturally occurring mutations in the maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that reduce male fertility while having little or no reproductive or other fitness impacts on females.
This means that Trojan Females (TFs) and their female descendants carrying such mutations could potentially produce sterile males over multiple generations, leading to dramatic and lasting population declines.
Using mathematical models the researchers show how introducing TFs into pest populations, as either single large releases or relatively few small repeat releases, could be effective in providing population control within relatively few generations.
Study lead author Professor Neil Gemmell of the University of Otagos Department of Anatomy described the findings as a key advance towards better protecting agriculture, human health and biodiversity from pests that cause or carry disease, or damage or consume valued resources.
This could be a game-changer in reducing the global impact of pests. Conventional approaches to pest management usually involve lethal control, but such approaches are costly, of varying efficiency, and often have ethical issues.
Although the greatest effectiveness was predicted for high turnover species such as insects and rodents, the cumulative nature of multiple releases makes the TFT applicable across the broad range of animal pests, he says.

Radical new “Trojan Female” pest control approach shows great promise
Martinez, GA (PRWEB) October 29, 2013
The Common Bed Bug is a parasitic insect usually found in mattresses that feeds on human blood during the night. Bed Bugs are one of the earlier-referenced pests on record having first been mentioned in 400 B.C. It has been a human parasite for thousands of years. From about 77 A.D. and into the 18th Century many people thought they had medicinal purposes, and were used to treat snake bites during early Roman times.
Bed Bugs differ from fleas, mosquitoes, etc; in that both males and females, in all stages of life, feed exclusively on blood. They have been known to carry 28 different human diseases, but as of yet they have not been known to infect humans. They prefer to feed every four to five days, but are able to survive for several months without a blood meal. In very cool temperatures, they have been known to survive over a year without feeding. They typically will consume two to five times their body weight in blood and the feeding time can be up to 10 minutes. Once feeding is complete, they quickly return to their hiding place. Bed Bugs cannot fly or jump but are able to walk four feet per minute. Bed Bugs are nocturnal but have been known to feed during the day if its the only time a host is available.
Common Bed Bugs can detect humans from up to five feet away. They recognize the carbon dioxide from breathing and body heat. They can recognize a temperature change of one degree and are attracted to temperatures up to 109 degrees. They prefer to feed on exposed skin so they are usually found around the neck, arms, face, and such areas. They are often undiscovered for a period of time because people simply believe that they have a blemish, rash, or some allergic reaction. Many times the skin reaction may take several weeks to develop, if at all. Unfortunately, this often times leads to the infestation being quite large before it is recognized. A female Bed Bug can lay up to 500 eggs in her 10-month lifetime.
The Common Bed Bug is an oval, flattened, wingless insect that is brown in color. After feeding it becomes purplish-red and its shape becomes larger and cigar shaped. They typically cluster together in a common harborage area such as mattresses, drapery, furniture seams, under baseboards on carpet, in electronic devices, and in wooden furniture at the joints. It is very common to find dried bloody fecal material in these harborage areas. These harborage areas are most often around the sleeping areas of people.
Bed Bugs are usually transported via luggage, brief cases, pocket books, etc; and are found throughout most of the world. They have been reported in office buildings, movie theaters, cargo and passenger trains, air planes, rental cars and of course hotels. Bed Bug cases are surging in the developed world. This is primarily a result of increased international travel and the absence of long-lasting pesticides in agricultural production.
The two most effective methods of controlling them are heat treatment and traditional insecticide. The heat method works by raising the temperature of the infested area to above 115 degrees for longer than seven minutes. Unfortunately this leaves no residual so if any survive the area can become infested again. The traditional insecticide method involves treating all of the hiding places. It is important to note that Bed Bugs will leave the treated area and it is therefore important to treat adjacent rooms as well. Control is rarely achieved by novices and do-it-yourselfers. It is usually necessary to hire a professional exterminator with specific training in Common Bed Bug control. On Sept. 30, 2011 the Augusta Chronicle reported that there were 111 cases of people getting sick in amateur attempts to combat a resurgence in the Bed Bug population. Hornes Pest Control has a tenured staff with several years of experience and specific training from courses offered by schools such as Clemson and Purdue University.
