I know first hand the devastation of La Crosse encephalitis can have on a child. Two years ago this past June, my youngest developed a headache with vomiting. She had just turned 8. She had gone to the doctor a month before in perfect health and had just barely tipped the scales at 50 lbs.
We took her to the doctor who told me that she had a stomach virus. Let it ride he told me. She was prescribed phenegren (spelling?) and I was told to give it to her every 6 hours until she was better. She would take the pill, go to sleep, and wake up in 3 hours vomiting. I did that twice.
In the middle of the night with her crying in pain and vomiting constantly, I took her to the ER. They took her in, looked her over BARELY, and said the exact same thing. I was, however chastised for giving her a cheese quesadilla. It was what she wanted and if she felt like eating it, I was delighted to give it to her. The doctor there gave me some other nausea/vomiting medication stronger than the first and said to give it every 6 hours.
I took her home and had the exact same experience. Give her to pill, she sleeps 3 hours and wakes vomiting and in pain.
The next morning, I called her pediatrician back and told the nurse I wanted to bring her back in. She spoke to the doctor who refused to see her. They told me to call back after lunch. When I called back, the nurse said that the doctor wouldnt see her at all. I told the nurse that someone would see her because she was getting dehydrated and she hadnt peed in about 18 hours. They reluctantly gave in.
I took her back to the doctor immediately. When we went back to the room, I had to carry her because she didnt have the strength to walk. I laid her down on the table and covered her up. When the 3rd doctor in 24 hours walked in the room, she went to my daughter and took one look at her. My daughter was grey, her eyes had sucken into her head and she couldnt even hold her head up. She looked at me and said "How fast can you get her to Mission?". I said that I would take her right then. They took her from the ER when I carried her in and put her in a wheelchair. They took her to a hospital room upstairs in the pediatric ward and started her on 2 bolus' at the same time. In case anyone doesnt know what a bolus is, its a fast drip IV. I think they put 2 bags in her within the first hour. She was immediately put on a morphine drip for the pain as well.

After 2 days, they still didnt know what was wrong with her. They decided to give her a feeding tube because she was losing weight. Luckily, she was in a semi-coma so it wasnt something that she remembers. She also had a spinal tap. The spinal tap was what gave them their results. They removed...I think..11 cc's (I could be wrong about the amount..it was A LOT though) of spinal fluid.
All in all, she was unconscious for 7 days. She lost 15 lbs and walked out of the hospital weighing 35 lbs at 8 years old. It took her a year before she was physically back to normal. She still is behind a bit in math. She had been in the academically gifted program. She no longer qualifies.
If what she went through is even remotely what any other child goes through, I urge all parents to invest in insect repellent with DEET. It works and would have prevented this ordeal.
On a side note- she is the reason I have issues with the media. My ex-mother in law called WLOS and told them what was going on. They showed up at the hospital trying to get in to see her. I was livid. We were worried that my beautiful daughter would die and they wanted a story. I called them and threatened suit if she were named in the story. It wasnt that I was embarrassed or ashamed- there was no reason for that. I was pissed that they would use my pain and the pain of my family to have a salacious headline. They had no qualms about exploiting my child and that infuriated me.
Long story short, she is fine now pretty much. She runs and plays. She has friends. She does well in school (like I said though, math is a struggle). She is beautiful, smart, quick witted. I thank God every day that He gave me my baby back.:)

I can attest to the damage that encephalitis causes. When I was 13, I contracted this disease. My fever was 105 and I had severe vomiting. I went to the doctor who gave me a bath with ice to lower my fever. Then he sent us to the ER, where the nurses gave me a spinal tap to check for meningitis. They stuck me in pediatric ICU and called the preacher. They told my mom and dad that they had no idea what was wrong, then the put me in isolation and no one could come in. I don't remember much of this, but what my mom tells me. I also don't have much memory from that year of my life. Someone told me once that a fever like that messes with the brain. I'm sure it does, how could it not. It was very scary, more so for my mom and dad.

OMG Native! What a terrifying ordeal for you! I'm so glad y'all made it through that. I'm buying the repellent tomorrow....I never use the stuff cause I really hate chemicals on us but no way do I want my child to go through that. Thanks for the heads up.

:) She is my miracle baby. We learned that I had malignant cancer while I was pregnant with her. The doctors told me that had I not been pregnant, the tumor would have spread before they found it. She loves telling people how she saved Mommy's life.:) She really is precious and perfect in every way.

I'm so sorry that your daughter (and you) had to suffer such a nightmare.
I know a third little girl here in McDowell County who has made a nearly-complete recovery from a recent bout of encephalitis.
The child is a very gifted eight-year-old; naturally, her parents were terrified of brain damage. Thank God that there seems to be none.

My child started with a strong headache on Friday, I gave him paracetamol and seemed to work. By Saturday the headache was stronger, I gave him tylenol and even when he slept for some hours, the headache was persistant and stronger, no fever. As the symptoms were strange, we took him to the ER in Grace Hospital. He was being checked in the emergency room when the seizures started, it is a terrifying experience, my husband and I did not understand what was going on and were so worried. Fortunately he received immediate attention and was transferred to Mission in Asheville where they diagnosed La Crosse Virus after testing spine fluid and several blood tests. Seizures continued for two days, the last one lasted 20 min. The pain was very strong and it seemed my son could not take it any more. The brain was sending pain signal to all nerves in his body. In Mission they knew about the virus and knew exactly what to do, but it is very frustrating to see your kid under a lot of pain, at some point he was also very confused when he was conscious and he could not speak or remember the words to communicate. This nightmare lasted around 4 days before he started recovering. My concern is that there is not enough information for parents to spray kids when they are going on field trips, I'm sure he got the virus in the Blue Ridge Assembly in Asheville, around 15 days before the symptoms. There is need for more information and warnings when summer start, if there is a program for educating parents about this I will be glad to participate with this experience. My son spent 9 days in the hospital and I want to prevent parents about this terrible virus. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I had to prepare my luggage just in case my baby was coming while my older child was in the hospital. Really a terrible experience

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE- OUE says looking at REIT listing; shares jump
Singapore's Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd (OUE) rose to the highest in 1-3/4-year after the property developer said on Thursday it is exploring the establishment of a real estate investment trust (REIT) on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange.
OUE shares rallied as much as 4 percent to S$3.12, the highest since June 2011, following the announcement. Nearly 5 million shares were traded, 3.4 times the average full-day volume over the past 30 days.
OUE confirmed it is in "preliminary discussions" with banks. The properties to be injected in the REIT, the pipeline assets of the REIT, size of the offering and timeframe are under review, OUE said in the statement released midday.
"With this listing being more visible, OUE can get back a chunk of capital with a possible redeployment of acquisitions," said Donald Chua, an analyst at CIMB Research.

1:08 STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Index rises, SingTel leads gainers
Singapore shares rose on Thursday, with Southeast Asia's largest telecom operator Singapore Telecommunications Ltd (SingTel) outperforming the market.
The Straits Times index was up 0.7 percent at 3,270.54, while MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was 0.1 percent higher.
SingTel shares jumped as much as 3.2 percent to S$3.59 after two straight sessions of losses. It is the most actively traded stock by value in the Singapore market on Thursday, with 17.1 million shares changing hands.
"Shareholders are looking at cash returns from a possible divestment of Optus Satellite by SingTel," said Carey Wong, an analyst at OCBC Investment Research. "After the realignment of priorities, SingTel is moving from a pure carrier to providing more value-added services."
Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd (OUE) gained 1 percent to a 1-1/2-month high of S$3.03.
On Wednesday, sources told Reuters that the property developer has picked Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and Standard Chartered Plc for its planned S$1 billion ($800 million) listing of a hospitality real estate investment trust (REIT) in the second half of the year.
OUE confirmed on Thursday that the company is in "preliminary discussions" with banks. The properties to be injected in the REIT, the pipeline assets of the REIT, size of the offering and timeframe are under review, OUE added.

Tourism experts: Epcot most unique theme park in the world
Send this to a friend
- Richard Bilbao
- Reporter- Orlando Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Get out the party hats and light the candles: Walt Disney World's Epcot theme park is celebrating its 30th anniversary on Oct. 1.
The world showcase theme park welcomed more than 10.8 million visitors in 2011, lagging only Walt Disney Co.'s two most popular parks: Magic Kingdom (17.1 million visitors) and Disneyland (16.1 million visitors). And based on industry standards, Epcot's annual economic impact may be as high as $6.65 billion, which represents more than 20 percent of the $31.6 billion in economic spending Orlando's tourism industry generated last year when it welcomed 55.2 million visitors.
"Epcot gives visitors a different kind of park instead of something with just attractions — it's the most unique tourist attraction in the world," said Duncan Dickson, a theme parks expert and professor at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management.
Dickson said Epcot's primary attraction comes from having a mixture of rides and shows, as well as a heavy emphasis on culture and education — something no other park offers.
It's a strategy that has worked well for the theme park, even though it originally was envisioned as a residential, commercial and industrial metropolis focused on promoting innovation. The park ranks among the top three theme parks most visited in America and is the sixth-most-visited theme park worldwide, according to the Themed Entertainment Association, a Burbank, Calif.-based theme park and entertainment association.
In fact, Epcot is a major cog in the machine that creates business for local hoteliers.
"This time of year with the International Food & Wine Festival, we see a lot of guests coming in for an extended weekend. It keeps us busy during the weekends in between weekly corporate and convention business," said Doug Ridge, general manager of the Orlando World Center Marriott Resort & Convention Center near Walt Disney World.

The Disappearing Hospital CEO
For instance, a lot of emphasis within systems is directed at cultivating clinical leadership to work hand-in-hand with CEOs and other senior leaders within hospitals and health systems. That's a big shift. Though these folks might lead locally in tandem, their respective bosses are both off-site.
A lot of this change results from the convergence of running the business and managing patient outcomes, which have until recently been two very separate goals—important in their own way, but not dependent on each other's success. And let's be honest: patient outcomes really weren't the hospital's or the health system's worry—at least they didn't directly affect revenues or margin. That's rapidly changing too.
"It's true that the transformation of care has driven leadership further into the organization," says Bowen. "That's why you see more conversations about developing clinical leaders and making them more accountable to outcomes and safety on the front lines."
But, she cautions, just because we may see fewer people with the CEO title in the future, doesn't mean that the requirement for good leaders will be diminished in healthcare. In fact, quite the opposite is likely.
"The transformation of care has driven leadership further into the organization," she says. "The concept of leadership is evolving. New titles include chief transformation officer, chief learning officer, [and] chief strategy officer. We're doing a study about these new titles, but the face of the C-suite is changing."
Somewhat surprisingly, many CEOs seem to welcome that change.

Topic: Erosion Control
Title: Erosion preventing plants for West Virginia
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Hi Mr. Smarty Plants, I live in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and I've got a hillside that's too steep to mow. I'd like to put in plants that other than weeding and regular tending, will take off and hold the dirt. My home is in the woods and the hill gets full sun. It's rocky soil, but there is dirt. Can you please suggest some plants that can be encouraged to take off? Thank-you.
ANSWER:Grasses are excellent plants to prevent erosion because the extensive fibrous root systems that they develop work well holding the soil in place. Grasses could help get the soil stabilized for adding shrubs, subshrubs, and perennials. The plants recommended below are native to your area and grow in full sun under dry conditions.
Grasses and Sedges
Bouteloua curtipendula (sideoats grama)
Shrubs and Subshrubs
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (kinnikinnick)
Juniperus communis (common juniper)
Rubus pubescens (dwarf red blackberry)Perennials
Antennaria plantaginifolia (woman's tobacco)
Coreopsis lanceolata (lanceleaf tickseed)
Pityopsis graminifolia var. graminifolia (narrowleaf silkgrass)

Denny Hamlin Wins at Homestead as Jimmie Johnson Wins His Sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship
The 2013 NASCAR season is now complete.
Denny Hamlin locked up the win for the season finale at the Homestead-Miami Speedway during the Ford EcoBoost 400. Hamlin led 72 laps, holding off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his teammate Matt Kenseth for his first victory of what was a miserable year. However, that isn't the main thing that happened in NASCAR on Sunday evening in Florida.
Jimmie Johnson, 37, has won his sixth career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship. Johnson's championships have each been won over the past eight seasons, including the outstanding streak of five consecutive titles from 2006-2010. He's now just one championship away from tying the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series record with Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Richard Petty, who have seven titles each.
Though Johnson had plenty of ups and downs throughout the year, his team was able to come back on several occasions, showing that they never give up.
At Pocono, Johnson hit the wall hard, damaging the entire right side, but came back to finish inside of the top-15. Right before the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup began, Johnson hit an extremely difficult rough patch. He finished 28th or worse for a whole month, but was able to hold the regular season championship lead even with the difficulties.
Johnson's success in NASCAR's edition of the playoffs set a new precedent for the entire sport. His team has become a true dynasty. In just 12 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series seasons, all of which have been with Chad Knaus as his crew chief, Johnson has never finished worse than sixth in points. Many people had written off Johnson's team entering Chicago to begin the Chase for the Sprint Cup, but Johnson proved people wrong in a big way.
Throughout the final 10 races, Johnson finished no worse than 13th (Talladega), and had seven top-five finishes and nine top-10s. This astonishing feat will surely be in the record books.
This championship was the first one that Johnson has been able win while holding his daughter in his arms, something that made him quite emotional. Johnson also mentioned that his grandmother passed away a month ago, giving him an even greater reason to fight for the championship, even with a heavy heart.
During the 2013 season, Johnson led 1985 laps, including leading over 100 laps in eight races (four in the Chase). Ever since winning the Daytona 500 in February, Johnson has shown that his No. 48 Chevrolet team is the strongest organization in NASCAR.
Showing that his team does have weaknesses over the past two years has led Johnson back to holding the championship trophy. His sixth championship came down to the wire. Even though he entered Homestead with a cushion over Kenseth and Kevin Harvick, he had to make sure to take care of his equipment. The team brought the same race car that he used at Texas, Charlotte and two other tracks to Homestead in order to make sure they had the best chance to seal the deal.
Johnson's title is the 11th championship for Hendrick Motorsports. He joined Hendrick's team at the end of 2001 after struggling as a driver in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. However, Johnson proved he was worthwhile thanks to a man by the name of Jeff Gordon.
Now, as Johnson celebrates his sixth title in 12 years, the sport says goodbye to several drivers that have helped turn the sport into what it has become today. Mark Martin, Ken Schrader, Juan Pablo Montoya, Jeff Burton and Dave Blaney are all retiring, whether moving to another form of racing or just race on a part-time basis going forward.
Johnson having a close call on a restart with Kenseth caught the attention of his pit crew. Johnson had a slight tire rub, slipping back to 21st, but was able to rebound to finish ninth. It is just another one of the many examples of how strong the No. 48 team has been throughout the year.
Once again, Johnson's team will be on the stage as the champions when the series goes to Las Vegas for the championship ceremonies. It's been a long year, but Johnson will look to continue his success in 2014.

read our review, there's not a whole lot of future seeing to be done here. But, nomenclature issues aside, there are some beefy new Fable 2 missions in the "See the Future" DLC which, just a reminder, is now available on Xbox Live.
If you're unwilling to part with the 560 MS Points ($7), there's still a chance you could win a free copy. But, as we're talking about Joystiq's 2008 Game of the Year, we think you owe it to Lionhead to pony up the cash. Heck, you owe it to us.

How many of you have a smartphone? Strike that. I should probably start asking: Who here does NOT have a smartphone?
Just about everyone has a smartphone. A Nielsen survey from January showed that 48 percent of Americans own one, and in the 24-34 age group that number goes up to 66 percent. In the business world, I'll wager the percentage goes up even more. And that means just about everyone in business has a video conferencing system in his or her pocket.
We are at a fundamental turning point now for video conferencing technology. You could grab your iPhone 5, download some video software and we could be holding a video conferencing call within minutes. That's an amazing concept, considering it was impossible only a few years ago.
There are pitfalls, though. If every employee has video conferencing capability in their pockets or purses, it could be a big problem for whoever is in charge of a company's IT department. It's certainly a manageable problem, but the folks in IT need to be aware of it and get out in front of it before it overwhelms them.
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves and overwhelm your IT department, let's think about what mobile means – and doesn't mean – for an organization's video conferencing strategy.
The native video features in most smartphones make video calls relatively easy. You can dial up someone and chat. Your shaky face can talk to another blurry and back-lit face – as long as your network holds up.
A tablet ups the quality quite a bit. You can stabilize the video shot and maybe even work your way around some lighting issues, but for the most part it's still more low-fi than most people would expect out of business communications.

Small press comic convention in Stockholm Sweden
This weekend it was the yearly comic convention I usually attend. I'm still a bit exhausted from it all. It was wonderful though, I sold really well and had a lot of fun.
I was afraid it wouldn't be nice because of the loss (see earlier blogpost) but despite getting sad the times when I realized I was looking over the sea of people at the con trying to see where she was, it was one of the nicest ones so far. Seeing so many old friends and making many new ones! There was sooo much good stuff/talented people all around, I was surprised at the boost in the quality of work all around. It was really nice to see. ^v^)/
I can't wait for next year.
Some photos:
Back from Stockholm International Comics Festival! This is a pile of loot from the comic market and Stockholm at large.
Note: The Red Hood and the Outlaws issue was in a one dollar bin and I bought it for Rochafortes art.
Rans Magiska Värld/Ran to Haiiro no Sekai is also the most beautiful and charming comic I've seen in a while. I fell for it instantly.
Även Alena-tröjorna har kommit från Shock, de ser awesome ut! Kom till SIS/SPX i helgen för att se dem irl. Vinnaren av Alena Cosplay-eventet kommer så klart få bland annat en tröja med sig. (Taken with instagram)

Staten Island's Ingrid Michaelson Records 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' With Sandy Hook Kids
Ingrid Michaelson, along with 21 students from Sandy Hook Elementary School, came together to record "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in tribute to the lives lost in last month's horrific school shooting.
A video for the Judy Garland classic, which was recorded at the home studio of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club members Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, shows the kids preparing for the song with their music teacher, Sabrina Post.
"We are here to give that as a gift to so many who live around us to move forward," Post tells the students. "And to keep memories alive."
Ingrid, (a Staten Island, NY native) who sings and plays ukulele on the track, told Good Morning America that she hoped the track would not only make money for the community, but could offer an "afternoon of enjoyment for these kids" who had been through so much.
Tim Hayes, CBGB owner and executive producer of the song, also hoped the song would help in the healing process.
"The children were asked to sing the song as if it was a prayer," Hayes said in a statement. "That emotion really comes though when the children sing their 'oooos,' which transforms the recording into something truly spiritual."
Proceeds from the song, available on Amazon and iTunes, will go to Newtown Youth Academy and United Way of Western Connecticut.
Watch Ingrid and the kids perform the song on Good Morning America here.

How Wayne, N.J., solved its winter salt storage problem: From asphalt pad to truss arch building
Tina Grady Barbaccia | October 25, 2012
The Challenge: Salt Storage
The Solution: ClearSpan Hercules Truss Arch Building
Size: 65-foot-wide by 100-foot-long
Application: Road salt storage
Winter weather in New Jersey can coat the roads with anything from snow to sleet and freezing rain, creating slippery conditions that require layers of road salt. Since the state of New Jersey mandates that all road salt be kept in an enclosed area, a proper storage facility is crucial for road crews.
The Department of Public Works in the Township of Wayne, NJ was storing its road salt on an asphalt pad, covered with a large tarp, according to Public Works Director George Holzapfel, a practice that was not only inconvenient in severe weather, but also sometimes hazardous. "The tarp had to be removed for access before, or sometimes during, snow or ice events, neither of which was a pleasure for the employees," Holzapfel said. "During non-winter periods winds often blew the tarps off, which then had to be reinstalled. Handling large tarps in windy conditions had to be undertaken with extreme caution…again, a task no one liked," he added.
Holzapfel began looking for a more efficient, yet cost-effective solution to comply with the mandate. After a bit of research, he decided on a ClearSpan Hercules Truss Arch Building. The quick, easy construction and low cost of the 65-foot by 100-foot building made it the best option for Holzapfel. "An overriding factor was foundation requirements," Holzapfel said. "The site had clay layers and refuse which would have required deep spread footings or piles to support a traditional structure, substantially increasing costs. The ClearSpan system was essentially placed on an asphalt pad." The building's construction took only a few weeks and meets all of the department's needs.
"It is well received," Holzapfel said. "Material stored is safe from the elements, and access for trucks and equipment is excellent." The building is working so well that they have already constructed a smaller ClearSpan structure to store truck tires, and are considering another facility to increase their winter salt storage and possibly store vehicles the rest of the year.

CAIRO (AP) — Five Germans and three Egyptians have been killed in a road accident south of the Red Sea resort town of Hurghada, Egypt's state-run MENA news agency reported Sunday.
The Germans were airline crew members on their way to the Hurghada airport early Sunday, police said. Another German crew member was injured.
The German TUIfly airline said four of its staff were killed and two injured.
"We are stunned and shocked. Our sympathy goes to the relatives of the deceased. We are doing everything to help the two injured colleagues," TUIfly managing director Dieter Nirschl said in a statement.
MENA said one of the injured crew died in hospital, bringing the number of dead to five.
The accident happened when the microbus carrying the Germans entered a main road and crashed into a passing tourist microbus. Both Egyptian drivers were killed.
The police official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief reporters.
Egypt's roads are considered among the most dangerous in the world due to lax enforcement of traffic laws and inadequate infrastructure. About 16,000 people are killed in road accidents each year.
Associated Press writer Juergen Baetz in Berlin contributed to this report.

Posted by Mary-Joe Perry, MassDOT Chief Information Officer
MassDOT is participating in three initiatives across Massachusetts that utilize broadband communications to support transportation, safety, and security. These innovative projects are creating jobs and enhancing economic development while supporting expansion of fiber optic-based broadband communications. The three initiatives include the Massachusetts Emergency Transportation Fiber Optic Network (METFON), I-91 ITS Fiber Project, and the I-90 ITS Broadband upgrade.
I am pleased to say that MassDOT has been awarded more than $7 million in Homeland Security funding under the Public Safety Interoperable Communications Grant Program and under the grant will be the lead agency in launching the Massachusetts Emergency Transportation Fiber Optic Network (METFON).
METFON is a consortium of state transportation and public safety agencies and authorities that will pool their fiber and other communication assets to form a high-speed secure statewide fiber optic communications network. This project will allow every major transportation and public safety control center in the Metro Boston area to be linked together to share real time data, video, and information regarding an escalating incident. It will also provide infrastructure to link public safety control centers along the I-90 Corridor and in Western Massachusetts to the network. This vital network will link essential elements of the existing public safety and transportation infrastructure. The result will be shared communication and faster response times and a safer, more effective transportation system. A great MassDOT team effort made possible the awarding of the grant and the resulting METFON effort, including Lorenzo Parra, Director of Emergency Preparedness and Security, Tony Wade, Fiber-optic Engineer, and many others.
I-91 ITS Fiber Project
The I-91 ITS fiber project currently under construction is building a fiber-optic cable "backbone" along 62 miles of I-91 and I-291. The project includes an Advanced Traffic Management System with 17 variable message signs, 34 closed circuit television cameras, vital IT infrastructure, and capacity for future economic development needs. Cameras and VMS will be viewable at the MassDOT Traffic Operations Center in Northampton and linked directly to the Highway Operations Center in Boston. The improved I-91 ITS system will focus on incident management, traffic operations, traveler information and homeland security. Two conduits are dedicated to MassDOT use, with four available for future economic development and expansion of broadband availability in western Massachusetts.
I-90 ITS Broadband Upgrade
This project creates and expands upon a shared Wide Area Network along the I-90 corridor to transport voice, video, and data, significantly upgrading the capacity of existing fiber optic cable along I-90. The new wide area network will complement the ongoing I-91 ITS project and provide greater communications capacity, integrating activities among participating state agencies and the City of Boston among others.
With these exciting initiatives, MassDOT is once again achieving its goals of customer service and safety.

What Happens During El Niño or La Niña?
During an El Niño or La Niña, the changes in Pacific Ocean temperatures affect the patterns of tropical rainfall from Indonesia to the west coast of South America, a distance covering approximately one-half way around the world.
These changes in tropical rainfall affect weather patterns throughout the world.
During El Nino, rainfall and thunderstorm activity diminishes over the western equatorial Pacific, and increases over the eastern half of the tropical Pacific.
This area of increased rainfall occurs where the exceptionally warm ocean waters have reached about 28°C or 82°F.
This overall pattern of rainfall departures spans nearly one-half the distance around the globe, and is responsible for many of the global weather impacts caused by El Niño.
During La Niña, rainfall and thunderstorm activity diminishes over the central equatorial Pacific, and becomes confined to Indonesia and the western Pacific.
The area experiencing a reduction in rainfall generally coincides quite well with the area of abnormally cold ocean surface temperatures.
This overall pattern of rainfall departures spans nearly one-half the way around the globe, and is responsible for many of the global weather impacts caused by La Nina.

Arcade Fire's Reflektor tops charts in U.S., Canada
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Montreal's Arcade Fire has another hit in Reflektor, mirroring the success of their breakthrough third album.
The sprawling double album, the band's fourth, has debuted atop the chart in both Canada and the U.S., according to numbers from Nielsen SoundScan.
In Canada, the ambitious 75-minute song cycle sold 49,344 albums to claim the No. 1 spot, while the album sold 140,000 copies in the U.S.
That's slightly shy of the 156,000 units the band's third album, The Suburbs, moved Stateside when it topped charts upon its 2010 release, according to Billboard.
That record went on to gold certification in the U.S. while going double platinum in Canada, and securing Grammy and Juno awards for Album of the Year.
Still, Reflektor usurped Katy Perry's Prism as the top album in both countries.
Arcade Fire's reign could be short-lived. Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP 2 hits stores this week and is expected to claim the top chart spot.
