Speaking about this new, freely available resource, Benedict said: "The SIT has proven highly effective over large areas when used against other insects. We produced this supplement because we believe that the technique has been overlooked as an anti-mosquito method. Its efficiency in low vector-population settings precisely complements insecticide-treated bednets, indoor residual spraying and larval control: when they are at their weakest, SIT is at its strongest. This supplement gives researchers and public health authorities information about the state-of-the-art as well as identifying specific challenges and requirements for successful implementation."

"With recent news that adult smoking rates have remained unchanged since 2004, and research showing that a clear majority of smokers want to quit, we urge smokers to mark today's 34th Great American Smokeout by making a quit plan and finding out about free resources that help them quit successfully. Research shows that advance planning and preparation greatly increase the likelihood of succeeding. 'No matter when you quit, you are much more likely to increase your life expectancy and quality of life. Quitting smoking reduces the risk of cancer and other diseases, and increases life expectancy. Smokers who quit at age 35 gain an average of eight years of life expectancy; those who quit at age 55 gain about five years; and even long-term smokers who quit at 65 gain three years. 'We also recognize that we all have a role in helping communities move toward a tobacco-free future. Recent studies show that state and local smoke-free laws, higher tobacco excise taxes and fully funded tobacco prevention and cessation programs have helped many people quit smoking, prevented children from ever starting, and diminished the harmful effects of secondhand smoke among non-smokers. ' provides user-friendly tips and tools to help smokers create a smoke-free life. Special features include a Quit Clock that allows users to count down to a quit day within 30 days, and offers tips for each day; and Craving Stopper, which helps smokers beat cravings by offering a fun distraction. 'There are a number of resources available for those who want to quit. We encourage anybody who wants to quit to call the American Cancer Society Quit For Life Program operated and managed by Free & Clear at 1-800-227-2345 or the National Cancer Institute's national telephone quitline at 1-877-44U QUIT for more information such as tobacco cessation and coaching services that can help increase the chances of quitting for good. You may also visit the HHS WebWeb site, , for more information to help you prepare and support you in the days and weeks after you quit.'
