Kicking malaria out of Africa
By Cinthia Rodriguez El Observador

The ?Nothing But Nets Buzz? tour made it's way to the San Jose area. The tour bus was spotted at the Buck Shaw Stadium, the official home to San Jose's Earthquakes.
The tour that began in Columbus, Ohio, headed west, visited Toronto and continued to visit major league soccer fields with one global goal in mind, ending malaria deaths by 2015. The grassroots campaign has a desire to end malaria in Africa with interactive events for local residents wherever they stop. They provide the information people need to learn more about malaria prevention and the role they can play.
"We offer individuals the opportunity to purchase a net, distribute the net and teach individuals how to use them," said Phil Disher, Nothing But Nets representative. "The campaign has been around since 2006 and so far we've raised 3 million dollars and have sent around 300,000 bed nets to Africa so far."
Nothing But Nets was inspired by sports columnist Rick Reilly and was created by the United Nations Foundation. In a time where malaria is a leading killer of children in Africa, and an estimated death every 30 seconds, Reilly made the connection between the nets present in sports and the nets that can help save lives.
The Buzz tour will continue to visit its partners and supporters through the middle of July. The UN Foundation and its Nothing But Nets campaign will be teaming up with soccer stars and other malaria-focused organizations for a one-year campaign, United Against Malaria. Other partners include the National Basketball Association's NBA Cares, the people of The United Methodist Church, and Sports Illustrated.
The bed nets are manufactured with insecticide in the fabric, so they can last about five years. Visit www.NothingButNets.net to send a net and save a life. ?

Consejos para controlar la ansiedad y/o la depresión:
1. Invierta en terapia conversacional: Dependiendo de la severidad de sus síntomas, la terapia pudiera ser un buen primer paso. Y, siempre habrá tiempo para hablar con su terapeuta sobre la adición de un medicamento.
2.  Cuando de antidepresivos se trata, un tamaño no sirve para todos: De acuerdo con los encuestados, la mediana del número de medicamentos probados fue tres, por tanto es importante que esté preparado para tantear un poco en el camino a encontrar el tratamiento adecuado para usted.
3.Qué probar primero: Según Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs, bupropión, citalopram, fluoxetina, y sertralina genéricos están entre las mejores opciones iniciales a considerar. Consulte con su médico acerca de comenzar con la dosis más baja posible y si no observa avance en 6 a 8 semanas, hable con su médico acerca de una dosis más alta o de un fármaco diferente.
4. Espere algunos efectos secundarios: La encuesta muestra que los efectos secundarios son mucho más comunes que lo que se indica en el encarte dentro del paquete que los consumidores reciben cuando les preparan sus recetas. Por ejemplo, las tasas de efectos secundarios sexuales informadas para los ISRS y los IRSN (véase la tabla anterior), fueron más del doble de las informadas por las compañías farmacéuticas, las cuales pueden elegir cuidadosamente participantes que pudieran ser menos propensos a experimentar reacciones adversas.
