Stormy Update: 1,200 calls for help
Many parts of Victoria were placed on flood alert on Wednesday night as storms made it tough for emergency service workers. View images and find out the latest on this page.
THURSDAY MORNING: The wild storm overnight left a trail of destruction across the state. Over 1200 calls for help were recorded, mainly for flash flooding, building damage and fallen trees on the roads.
Frankston appears to be hardest hit, with 31 millimetres of rain in a 20 minute period.
At Wodonga, a mini tornado swept through the area, damaging seven homes.
SES spokesperson Lachlan Quick told 3AW heavy rain will continue to fall in the State's Northeast until midday Thursday.
8PM: Melbourne's south eastern suburbs have copped the brunt of Wednesday evening's thunderstorm activity.
The weather bureau says up to 30 millimetres of rain has fallen in some areas in just minutes with hail up to three centimetres also reported.
Weather bureau forecast Tony Bannister says the main storm front is now past Pakenham and moving south east.
He says the CBD has been spared so far but another storm is on the way.

EARLIER: Melbourne is set for its second storm lashing in as many days, with the worst of it expected to hit the city just in time for the peak-hour commute home on Wednesday.
*For the latest on the weather listen live to 3AW or to our latest bulletin via the website or iPhone app*
And emergency service workers are on alert, with rivers in some parts of the already sodden state expected to swell as rain buckets down over the next eight hours.
The Bureau of Meteorology issued severe weather warnings for flash flooding as the city woke from another sweltering night.
Bad weather already affecting some parts of the state is forecast to reach Melbourne between 5pm and 9pm.
And should the front bring thunderstorms, some parts of Melbourne could be hit with deluges of between 30 and 40 millimetres, the bureau has warned.
''At the moment there is some showers moving in from the north-west and there has been one or two lightning strikes detected in that band but it's mostly showers,'' duty forecaster Peter Newham said. ''So we're expecting showers and possible storms over the next few hours as that moves through.
''Then we're expecting it to really fire up in the afternoon and evening as the front comes through. So that's when we expect the most significant thunderstorm activity.''
''Between 5pm and 9pm is the period of biggest concern but there is still stuff moving in the next hour or two.
''It's one of those things where we will have to watch it closely all day and there is definitely a chance of getting a severe thunderstorm today at any time in Melbourne.''
Most of the state is on flood watch, with areas around Mt Buller expected to receive more than 100 millimetres in just a few hours. Parts of Gippsland are also on flood-watch.
SES workers responded to 60 calls for help due to yesterday's wild weather and spokesman Lachlan Quick expects today to be even busier.
''We had one or two trees fall down but there was no major damage yesterday, the real impact was on the roads and the number of accidents we had,'' he said.
''But today we are expecting to be getting more rain in Melbourne, between lunchtime and 7pm, than we had yesterday.
''So we would expect to see flash flooding and significant impact on the roads and probably see a number of call outs for assistance from the public.''
The greater concern for SES workers is potential flooding in Victoria's north-east, with 100 millimetres expected to fall within six to eight hours.
Mr Quick said the Goulburn and Broken River catchments were at risk of flooding.
''There are a number of catchments that are already full and, because they've had a good soaking yesterday, we would expect much of the 100 millimetres of rain that they're forecasting to go straight into the rivers and swell those,'' he said.
''So there is a real risk of river flooding. And they've got a chance to stay up for a couple of days because there is going to be a fair bit of water dropping in a short space of time.''
Mr Quick said he did not expect this afternoon's rain to be worse than January's deluge.
''But it could be similar to the activity we had last year in September and October, only because it's happening really quickly. But I don't think it will last as long as those,'' he said.
''We might have to rescue people that are trapped in flood water, whether they are driving or have to be rescued from their homes, or we could have to make emergency repairs to property that has been damaged by storm or flood water.
''We will be working with the local councils, local police and other local emergency services to help prepare communities.
''It's just about getting those messages out that people shouldn't be driving, riding or walking in flood water because we've already had one death this year in Victoria due to driving in flood waters and we don't want another.''
The Bureau has forecast relief from the bad weather and humidity that has caused many sleepless nights.
Last night was particularly humid and Melbourne is sweating again today, with humidity currently at 70 per cent and the temperature expected to top 26 degrees.
The Bureau expects the storms to clear the high level of moisture in the air and normal weather conditions to resume by tomorrow afternoon.
Storms and heavy showers hit Melbourne's south-east yesterday, with Frankston North and Mt Dandenong (24mm), Thorpdale (27mm) and further north to Pine Creek (32mm), recording some of the heaviest rainfall totals.
They also ruptured "extreme" levels of pollen grains in the city's air, causing smaller particles to enter the lungs of asthma sufferers, triggering a spate of attacks.
Today is ''Wear Orange Wednesday'', the national day for people to wear orange to show support for the SES.
''And as it happens, we're going to have to call on a couple of thousand of them to get out there and work,'' Mr Quick said.

How Transparency Can Transform School Culture
Leaders who demonstrate a continual desire to learn and connect whenever possible help set a precedence of transparency and innovation in a school's culture.
Helping every student experience meaningful, deep learning is a constant challenge, in no small part because no two learners are alike. To reach students who are particularly challenged — whether because of their ability to speak English or some other reason — educators can find a way in by tapping into students' interests and passion.

Transporting energy is a growing challenge
By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl
President and Vice President
Illinois Renewable Energy Association
As demand for energy increases, so does the transportation network needed to deliver it to major sources of consumption.
China is facing the problem of internal coal and oil supplies being far away from the areas of increased demand. With China's rapid economic development and increasing demand for energy, prices will rise, as will the global levels of carbon emissions. According to the International Energy Agency, China's energy demand doubled over the last decade and is expected to soar 75 percent by 2035. With diminished national supplies, they are seeking energy sources around the world, increasing the need for new energy transportation networks.
Sometimes existing networks are disrupted. The United Kingdom recently warned that nearly 2 million homes, schools and hospitals still heated with oil may face fuel rationing as ice- and snow-covered rural roads impede oil deliveries while consumption levels have spiked in the presence of a cold wave.
The rich oil and gas reserves of the Caspian Basin were exclusively controlled by the Soviet Union with pipelines moving the energy north and west toward Russia. During some recent winters, Russian gas supplies to western Europe running through the Ukraine were reduced to force Ukrainians to pay a higher price.
Western energy interests are developing alternative transportation networks to Turkey, the rest of Europe and the rapidly growing energy markets of China and India. Since oil and gas wells, pipelines and refineries are expensive long-term investments, financial interests seek supportive governments and long-term contracts to protect their investments. Since pipelines are attractive sites for theft or sabotage, investors also seek military protection.
The development of energy distribution networks changes the landscapes through which they pass, and in the case of oil and gas pipelines, imposes additional environmental risks from inevitable breaks in the pipelines. In some cases, such as in Colorado, the development of the Rocky Mountain Express pipeline reduced the presence of excess gas in the state and shipped it to the East Coast to overcome natural gas shortages there. The pipelines are costly, so removal of surplus gas in Colorado raises energy costs there while increasing supplies in the east.
As more oil is sold to China and India and overall supplies dwindle, Paul Sankey of Deutsche Bank believes the United States is likely to dramatically decrease its consumption of oil. Americans will be forced to implement energy efficiency measures including the use of hybrid and electric cars. For that to happen, battery costs will have to drop from $650 per kilowatt hour to $250 per kilowatt hour by 2020. Countries will compete to secure a share of the advanced battery and electric car markets.
Rising oil scarcity and prices will stimulate the conversion of natural gas into fuels such as the firm Sasol intends to do by securing an interest in a shale gas field in Canada to convert gas into diesel fuel. The high price of oil and the low price of shale gas makes it financially feasible. If it is successful, additional pipeline capacity is likely to be needed.
As energy transportation networks become longer and more complex, more individuals and communities become increasingly vulnerable to supply disruptions over which they have little control. Considering this situation, pursuing energy efficiency and sustainable energy strategies should be a high priority.

Top 10: Malik Smith Scores 29 at Nebraska
Click here to see the complete Top Ten archive!
Gopher men's basketball, under first-year head coach Richard Pitino, put the wraps on one of the most successful seasons in school history. Setting a new school record with 25 victories, including wins over top-25 opponents Ohio State, Wisconsin and Iowa at Williams Arena, the Gophers captured the 2014 NIT title at Madison Square Garden. GopherSports.com will take a look back each day with the top 10 moments from the 2013-14 season.
#10: Malik Smith Scores 29 at Nebraska
Senior Malik Smith joined the Gophers for just one season, but in that time he made his mark upon the record books. On Jan. 26 at Nebraska, Smith stepped up to spark the Gopher offense with eight made 3-pointers, part of a career-high tying 29 points in his first start in Maroon and Gold.
His eight treys tied the school single-game record set by Blake Hoffarber in 2009, and was also the most made 3-pointers by any player in the Big Ten this season in a game. Smith was 9-15 from the field and 8-12 from beyond the arc, helping the Gophers stay in the game despite the absence of leading scorer Andre Hollins. Nebraska would eventually edge the Gophers, 82-78, in the lone meeting between the squads this season.

Children's Hospital implements electronic records systemNovember 25, 2012 // 0 Comments
$129 million project integrates data, improves patient safety
by Rich Kirchen, Senior Reporter, The Business Journal
Until earlier this month, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin pediatricians still used paper records, in combination with electronic records, to track patients — one practice that has been eliminated with a $129 million project that includes a new electronic medical records system.
"The way we were doing it was 18th century — all we lacked was the candles," said Dr. Mike Meyer, a pediatric intensivist.
Meyer was one of the physicians and nurses heavily involved in planning and designing the system with the goals of increasing efficiency, integrating patient data and improving safety. Children's launched the system earlier this month and, …Rich Kirchen is The Business Journal's senior reporter. He covers health care, insurance, politics, media and marketing/advertising.

Very friendly staff with problem solving approach. Hotel is under renovation and they tried to did their best to find a room with no paint smell. Good location, 1 minute walk distance to metro.
Street side and lobby is under renovation. Wi-Fi is slow-speed and every 24h new password is required. Standard rooms are very small. Not suitable for a 4* ranking.
Location Staff
Sera certainement très bien quand les travaux seront finis... Will be good with the renovation will be completed...
L'hôtel est en travaux, recouvert par un échafaudage, avec les vibrations des marteaux dès le matin.
Felt safe and had a helpful staff.
Hotel was being renovated so that was inconvenient. Hotel should be discounted during renovation. My friend bought 9 tickets to the Louvre at the front desk and they didn't tell her kids 16 and under get in free. The kids were standing with her and 5 of them should have been free. The desk attendant knew she was buying them for the kids. The hotel is very close to the train station and doesn't provide transportation. They offered a taxi for $90 to go about a mile to the train station.
Junior suite we stayed is spacious with unique decoration and staffs are friendly.
The hotel was under renovation during our stay. Bad smell in the lobby and some of the rooms due to the paint. Anyway,this problem shouldn't exist after renovation is done. The lift gave me a 'shock' each time it stop.
The location is Ok.
Wifi is so so so slow.
Nothing about it was nice
Room smell of paint and bed is soft and saggy. Bad hotel
Very poor and small room hotel is in renovation and lost of noice early morning lobby is old and ugly pics on booking.com do not represent real status
It's been over a month and the credit card I used to book still hasn't been refunded. The credit card got charged twice as well
Nice location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room with good facilities. We are quite happy with the stay.
The internet kept on dropping.
Nice front desk staff
Slow response time on an easy to resolve issue. Facilities were under refurbishment which I was not advised. This made my stay uncomfortable
The location is verry good,the metro station is near by.The hotel is in a renovation process,so it will be better.Now is ok
The motif that I gave only fair to the staff is because of the skiny young blond recepcionist, who tried to fool us with a superior room than what we have reserved for,at the same price he said,room which appear to be blind,windows covered with paper because of the renovation work.That was ugly and we felt discriminated.The situation was restored by another recepcionist verry nice,who give us a verry nice room.So be carefull..
Location, new design, comfortable room. Staff was welcoming and helpful.
Slow Wifi (4th floor).
The desk staff were great and most obliging.
Wifi was very slow Should be more than one lift too slow during busy periods
good location, room was fine
hotel was under restoration so rather dismal
Breakfast tasted good.
The hotel was under complete renovation, our veranda was caked in inches of dust and dirt from works going on outside and we couldn't open the windows. There were construction workers constantly walking by our window along the scaffolding so we couldn't open the curtain. We had to keep the curtains closed the entire time, which meant no fresh light. The hallways smelled of fresh paint which is terrible for an asthmatic like myself, there were no signs up for emergency exits or for the lift. There we people working on the hallways and next door rooms, so constant banging, drilling, stapling, hammering, it was a terrible stay. This hotel is under complete renovation and should not be open for bookings.
The staff was really nice and helpful! We enjoy it!
The location is good.
The hotel is under refurbishment. No carpets on the corredor, walls to be painted, builders working with guest. Lots of dust and noise. I don't recommend the hotel for anybody. Staff said that if they advice the guest about the refurbishment nobody will go. That's it! Beakfast is poor and bread can finish before breakfast ends . If you eat lucky you, if you don't they are sorry.

One of Asia's busiest gateway airports Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta is hoping to get a traffic reprieve as a number of airlines are looking at shifting some operations to Halim Perdanakusuma Airport in East Jakarta.
The latter facility currently is in service for only private aircraft and military use but could easily be converted to commercial operation.
Indonesia's government is currently evaluating the shift and flights to the second gateway could commence within next year.
Many other Asian capitals are facing similar air traffic issues and as is the case in Bangkok a second airport seems to be a very practical solution to easing traffic.

By David Saito-Chung, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Banking analyst Mike Mayo testified in the Senate about conflicts of interest on Wall Street.
Are you looking for a new book to devour after finishing that third or fourth detective novel?
Before summer melts into fall, why not take up an investing-related book while you take in the rays? Savvy investors keep reading and learning. The reason is simple: The economy changes, the market changes, the stock leaders change.
You could read one or two investment classics, or reread them. It's always useful to refresh yourself with the wisdom and experiences of a legendary trader.
"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" details the experience of Jesse Livermore during his roller-coaster ride in stocks and commodities.
"How I Made $2,000,000 in the Stock Market" shares how a ballroom dancer learned the importance of buying stocks only when they went up. Gerald Loeb's "The Battle for Investment Survival" and Peter Lynch's "One Up on Wall Street" hold nuggets of wisdom in stock picking, research and portfolio management.
The first chapter of the latest edition of "How to Make Money in Stocks" showcases 100 of the best winners going back to the 1880s. You'll see Richmond & Danville, which created America's first cup-with-handle chart.
Also consider reading a book that sheds light on how Wall Street works, or what's going on in a particular industry. Others explain why some economic regions offer growth opportunities. Here are a few quotes from the latest reads:
"One of the toughest things an analyst has to do is admit a mistake. If you're wrong only 45 percent of the time, you're one of the best."
This quote from Mike Mayo's "Exile on Wall Street" succinctly explains how analysts at Wall Street banks think and operate.
Mayo, a veteran banking analyst, was the sole analyst to testify before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee in 2002 on conflicts of interest on Wall Street.
"The problem with bubbles is a problem in dealing with the universal behavior of people, not the behavior of the abstract entities called markets."
This quote from "Finance and the Good Society" by Yale professor Robert Shiller rightly points out that bubble markets will continue to come and go.
"There is a perception, rightly or wrongly, that Vietnam is the next China, a booming market soaking up resources and consumer goods, buying banking services and cell phones with gusto."
In "World Right Side Up," Christopher Mayer gives reader a journey of trends and investing ideas across six continents.
All stocks are speculative, if only because no one knows the future. Sometimes people will snobbishly suggest that their stocks are "investments" that would never behave like one of those "speculative stocks." (They tend to think in a similar fashion about their children vs. other people's ...
Owning well-established blue chips that generate slow but steady gains and dividends is one way to play the stock market. But investors looking for a little more sizzle should be on the lookout for newer names with the potential for fast growth. Think of the N in CAN SLIM, which stands for new ...
Remember that new issue you bought awhile back this year when it was breaking out of a first-stage IPO base? Up 7% in heavy volume with solid fundamentals? A thing of beauty. But instead of rising even more, the stock reversed in higher volume. Then it fell again. And again. Before you knew it, you ...
IBD founder and Chairman William O'Neil teaches that one key to success in the stock market is not just to be right on a stock but also to make big money when you're right. Experienced investors know that when the dust settles after a rally, the lion's share of your profits will be in one or two ...
Successful investing requires longevity. After all, it's a lifelong pursuit, so objective number one is to keep yourself in the game. That's why IBD's golden rule is to sell any stock that falls 7%-8% below the price you paid for it. This one simple rule will keep you in the game through many ...

Eagles quarterback gets first crack at start Aaron Wilson
Michael Vick will start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday night against the New England Patriots, coach Chip Kelly announced.
And Nick Foles will start the second preseason game.
For this one, though, both Vick and Foles will see roughly 12 to 20 snaps in the first preseason game.
"I've never been in this situation before in my life," Vick told reporters.. "I've been in positions where I've had to compete for a job coming out of college, but it's never been this severe. But I'm just taking it in stride, man. I can't control the future, I can't predict the future. I can just control what I can control. I can't do it all. I can't to everything. But the one thing I'm gonna do is have fun."

Ricky Ponting's extraordinary career will be remembered for many reasons. The history books, though, will recognise him as the most successful cricketer to have ever played this game. Ricky leaves international cricket with a load of runs and a Bradmanesque record: 100 Test victories and three World Cups, two as captain. It is a statistic any cricketer from any age would die for.
He was one of the best batsmen in the game (with the greatest cracking pull shot I have ever seen), and among the finest fielders going (brilliant all-round, whether close in, at silly point, point, or in the slips). That apart, I will always think of Ricky as a competitor, a fighter who never gave up, and a guy with a side to his personality that was not often seen: an upright, conscientious man, one with a mature understanding of the big picture. It shows in the timing of his retirement, and I am glad that he will be able to finish off in style.
For a long time, we didn't know each other well, and I admit I was surprised when I saw this other side of him, but I am glad I did eventually. At the end of the 2008 Test series against Australia, when I was going through a rough patch, he took me aside and said, "Look, I've been following your batting through the series and I know you're struggling for runs, and people are after your blood, but I want to tell you, I still think you're playing well. Hang in there." Coming from someone who was seen as a tough guy, someone we Indians had had so many skirmishes with, this was a revelation. We didn't know each other well but he took the trouble to talk to me and offer those words of comfort.
Our bats often provided a topic of conversation - they came from the same manufacturer in Meerut. Once, I asked him to give me one of his bats, signed. He had to take it to Meerut to get a similar one made, but he said he would make sure I got it, and called and checked more than once to make sure it was delivered. Not quite the sort of behaviour most would associate with Ricky Ponting perhaps. In fact, if you ask me what he was like when I was batting, apart from the usual chatter, I can't remember being sledged by him either.
In his long career, Ricky grew to become a fine leader and statesman. Tactically he may not have been as celebrated a captain as the brilliant Mark Taylor, for instance, but he was very aware of his position in the sport and where and what he was.
It was a marked progress from his early days. I remember seeing him after we won the Kolkata Test of 1998, to go 2-0 up on Taylor's side in the series. He had clearly shown that he was one of Australia's most outstanding talents, but that night in Kolkata he was not in the best state, and I wondered if he was going to waste his gifts.
Later I grew to admire how he fronted up a lot about his own failures. He was honest with the media and also spoke freely about issues in world cricket that he had an opinion on.
Ricky had a complex relationship with India; love-hate even. He wasn't successful touring India, where he was frequently measured against Sachin. Maybe because of who he was and how direct he could appear to be in speech and action, somehow he didn't quite warm the hearts of Indians like Steve Waugh did. I don't know if he came to embrace India off the field. What I do know is that guys who played alongside him at Kolkata Knight Riders were effusive about his role as a mentor and leader. To the younger guys, his work ethic was astonishing, and he provided an example of professionalism, ever ready to get involved, both as friend and mentor.
The last few years must have been tough for Ricky, not merely because of the dip in his own form: he was also the last man standing from an Australian era of excellence and domination. He grew up amid greatness, in the line of players like Taylor, David Boon, Waugh, Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath. He played with the legends. When Australia began to slip, it must have been hard to come to terms with. He chose to fight through it and be the elder statesman in a young team.
|That core of your nature, to find a way, never leaves you. Which is why retirement is difficult - because your nature doesn't allow you to give up the game. You end up battling yourself and it is a huge fight
I remember messaging him after Australia lost the Ashes to tell him to hang in there and take some time away from cricket to clear his mind. What he had said to me a while ago had helped me and I wanted to show my support. Us No. 3s must look out for each other, I guess!
The way he battled on in the last few years of his career is to be admired. A quality inherent in every top-flight cricketer is that they do not give up. You do not want to give up; you are successful because you will not back off. That is why you play; that is why Ricky Ponting played. He didn't carry surrender in his kit bag.
Throughout his career he answered the questions thrown at his batting, found his way around problems, found answers. That core of your nature, to find a way, never leaves you. Which is why retirement is difficult - because your nature doesn't allow you to give up the game. You end up battling yourself and it is a huge fight. It is frustrating, and I have been through some of it myself.
With all top-class players, what starts to go, I think, is not the runs, but the inevitability of being able to score those runs, the assurance of performance. When we went to Australia in 2003-04, there was an inevitability to Ponting scoring runs, and sure enough, he got two double-centuries in the series. It was understood that this guy was going to make us pay.
By the time we played him in 2012, that inevitability had gone, that sense of the expected. It's not that they can't score or that they won't, but the certainty in their batting goes. You know you can fight for some time, like Ricky did, because you don't want to let other people down, but I think he did realise in the end that he doesn't want to play sport like that. Cricket will be the poorer without him but retirements are like the runs made by the great players - inevitable.
You will miss it for a bit, Ricky, but there's a plus side. Like we always believed, the commentary box is a much, much easier place to be.

The Natural Curacao – A True GetawayAugust 8, 2014
Many of my discerning clients seek to expand their holiday visiting Curacao before or after their Bonaire sojourn. I have found a new property that insures tranquility. The Natural Curacao is a restful haven for those seeking to be immersed in nature. I visited recently and am ready to return. I spent my time lounging by the pool. There is a fantastic sunning deck and a lovely pool deck that was shaded all afternoon. The steady trades provided cooling relief from the July sun. There is an honor bar stocked with beverages. I also enjoyed visiting the lending library. Take a book and leave one for someone else. The property has thirsty thick towels for the pool and for bathing. I appreciate nice amenities and was happy The Natural Curacao provided for all details assuring comfort.
The Natural is the only "clothing optional" resort on the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao). Clothing optional means that naturism is permitted, but not mandatory. The property is gay friendly and single friendly as well, as I found to be true. Everyone is welcome. For day-visitors they offer aspecial rate of Naf. 10,00. The property is small, 8 units but it's spread out and truly relaxed. I enjoyed a massive bungalow with splendid views of the salinas and kunuku. At night, star gazing was supreme. My room had a massive covered patio with loungers and living furniture. Inside there was a large kitchen, island for dining and computer work and a living space. The shower was large and afforded hot water. My comfortable king bed was lovely for naps and bedtime. The AC was cooling as well.
Rates are 50.00 to 105.00 per night. There is round trip transfers for 25.00 USD each way. Yvonne, the co owner offers therapeutic massage in your room. There are yoga classes as well. This is a healing center for the weary and those who are committed to their health and wellness. Those merely seeking a poolside setting to read and write will be delighted at The Natural Curacao.

Mangazina Di Rei- Culture in BonaireJuly 26, 2014
I had the pleasure of visiting the restored Mangazina Di Rei today for the Cultural Market. The event featured local music, local food and a craft market. Also on hand was a produce and plant market. The center as abuzz with locals and tourists sampling amazing culinary delights made by the local people of Rincon. I sampled some delicious pancakes made on an traditional hot cooking plate.

Bonaire Beach ArtJune 28, 2014
When my daughter and I first came to Bonaire we used to take afternoon drives along the East coast in search of beach treasures. We were always and still are in search of a gold coin or something special. Alas, the most you find are shoes, lots of bottle caps, driftwood, lightbulbs and other typical junk that comes in from the shipping lanes. Some beachgoers create funky cool art at the beach using coral and junk. Here is my favorite of the month. The "beach man" even has an erect penis..

Blood Sugar and Eye Exams
Control your blood sugar for several days before a routine eye exam to ensure you get a proper prescription for eyeglasses.
Download the K Card
Have your LASIK surgeon record your pre- and post-op eye information on a K Card. You will need this for future eye surgery.
Tell Your MDs All Your Rx
If you have glaucoma, tell your Eye MD all medications you take, and tell your other doctors about your glaucoma medication.
Know Your History
Those with a family history of eye disease are at a greater risk for developing eye diseases or conditions themselves.
Sleep Apnea and Glaucoma
Research shows that those with sleep apnea are more likely to develop glaucoma. Get treated to save your sight.
What Is an Ophthalmologist?
Make sure you are seeing the right eye care provider for your condition or treatment.
Are You Fit at 40?
A baseline eye exam is recommended at age 40, when the signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Share your family history with your Eye M.D.
Eye exams are an important part of an overall health plan. Just as you would tell your family doctor about your family history of heart disease, you should inform your eyecare professional about your family's eye health history. Knowledge of past and present family eye disorders can help save your vision! In fact, if age-related macular degeneration (AMD) runs in your family, you have 50 percent chance of developing AMD. And, according to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, having a family history of glaucoma makes you four to nine times more likely to get the disease.
Before you go in for your next eye exam, do some research on your family's medical history so that you can share this important information with your ophthalmologist. Telling your ophthalmologist the types of eye diseases that run in your family may prompt him or her to recommend more frequent eye exams. The earlier eye disease is caught, the better chances you may have of saving your vision. A comprehensive dilated eye exam, a painless procedure in which an eye doctor examines your eyes in search for common vision problems and eye diseases, is recommended. This exam can help diagnose or rule out a wide range of eye diseases and conditions, many of which have no early warning signs.
Many hereditary eye diseases won't show symptoms until later on in life. In fact, many eye diseases progress without any warning signs at all. Gradual changes in vision often go unnoticed but can have a devastating impact on your ability to function independently. The earlier that your Eye M.D. can detect and treat an eye disease, the better your chances are of preserving your precious vision.
Individuals with no signs or risk factors for any eye diseases need to know the importance of getting a baseline eye disease screening no later than age 40, which is the time when early signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
After receiving a baseline exam from your ophthalmologist, he or she will recommend a schedule of follow-up examinations based on your eye health. If you are affected by an eye disease such as glaucoma or macular degeneration there is an increased likelihood that other family members may be at risk. Please take time to share this information. Make it a point during the holidays or other family gatherings to share your diagnosis with family members and discuss the importance of eye exams.
Aside from your family medical background, know that your age, race, and gender all play a factor into eye diseases that you may or may not be prone to. For example, nearly two- thirds of people affected by vision loss are female and elderly individuals with African ancestry are five times more likely to develop glaucoma. A little knowledge can go a long way when it comes to saving your sight!

Music Academy to Live Stream World Premiere by Cellist Joshua Roman, 8/2
The Music Academy of the West will live stream the world premiere of we do it to one another, cellist extraordinaire Joshua Roman's new setting of verse from Tracy K. Smith's Pulitzer Prize-winning collection Life on Mars, at 8 pm on Saturday, August 2. Also featuring works by exciting young composers Sean Friar and Christopher Cerrone, the performance will take place in the Music Academy's Hahn Hall, with streaming viewable at www.musicacademy.org.
Commissioned by the Music Academy, we do it to one another is scored for Pierrot ensemble (violin, cello, flute, clarinet, and piano) and soprano. Mr. Friar's Scale 9 and Mr. Cerrone's The Night Mare feature the same instrumentation, sans vocalist, with the latter also making use of an electronic drone. Mr. Roman will perform the works with Academy Fellows. Mr. Cerrone was a Pulitzer Prize finalist this year for his composition Invisible Cities, while Mr. Friar was awarded the prestigious Prix de Rome for 2011-12.
Mr. Roman, who attended the Music Academy in 2002, has been widely lauded as a performer of exceptional depth and passion. The San Francisco Chronicle has described him as "a cellist of extraordinary technical and musical gifts." Mr. Roman also is an accomplished composer, curator, and programmer, particularly in his work as artistic director of Seattle's TownMusic series, with a vision to engage and expand the classical music audience. For his ongoing creative initiatives on behalf of classical music, he was named a 2011 TED Fellow. Before embarking on a solo career, Mr. Roman served as principal cellist of the Seattle Symphony for two seasons, a position he won in 2006 at the age of 22. Since then he has appeared as a soloist with the Seattle Symphony, where he gave the world premiere of David Stock's Cello Concerto, as well as with the Albany and Santa Barbara symphonies, and the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional del Ecuador, among many others. He is also an active chamber music performer. Beyond the performance stage, Mr. Roman is dedicated to exploring emerging platforms to harness new audiences, in particular social media.
A faculty member at Princeton University, Ms. Smith is the author of three highly regarded collections of poetry. According to Publishers Weekly, Life on Mars "blends pop culture, history, elegy, anecdote, and sociopolitical commentary to illustrate the weirdness of contemporary living."
The Music Academy also will live stream a chamber music performance by Academy Fellows in Hahn Hall at 7:30 pm on Thursday, July 31, as well as a masterclass led by renowned clarinetist Richie Hawley in the Music Academy's Lehmann Hall at 1 pm on Friday, August 1. The streaming will be produced by the New York City-based firm Little Dog Live.
Remaining highlights of the Music Academy's 2014 season include a new production of Georges Bizet's popular opera Carmen as well as a conducting turn by Thomas Adès. Featuring the Academy's exceptionally talented Fellows, together with illustrious guest performers and faculty, the events are being presented in venues throughout Santa Barbara. The Music Academy's 67th annual Summer Festival concludes August 9.
For tickets and information, call 805.969.8787 or visit musicacademy.org.

It's not the ethanol that's the problem[*]. The problem is that the vapor emission changes with the seasons, location and latitude. In hot weather, the gas blend has to evaporate less easily to meet the pollution standards, while during winter, and especially in the north, evaporation isn't the problem - starting bad engines is. So up North you get a lower energy and cheaper fuel that ignites easier during winter, which reduces mileage. In lowlands you also get denser less compressible air during winter, and you easily get 2 mpg less for a gas guzzler, up to 6 mpg less for a frugal car.
In the South, the gas blend is not so much of a problem, because the gas has to be blended for hot weather all year round. So your mileage shouldn't vary as much as ours.
[*]: Except for phase separation, where the ethanol sucks up water vapor from the air, and forms a sludge at the bottom of your (or the gas station's) tank. If you usually refill at half tank and only once in a blue moon on a cold day run it all the way towards empty, it can be disastrous. Sure, water injection can give bursts of extra torque, but not when done that way!
If you run on E10, draining the tank yearly can be a good idea.
