To stay profitable in the current market, many airlines have raised or added fees in the past several years. Airfarewatchdog.com surveyed the fees of 14 major domestic airlines charge, finding 14 different extra charges. Some fees—such as charging for changing a flight, for checked bags, and even for blankets and pillows—have been met with outrage by travelers. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed Airfarewatchdog.com's survey to identify the air carriers with the worst fees and ranked all the carriers, best to worst. These are the 10 airlines with the highest fees:
10. Virgin America
Total additional fees: $447
First checked bag: $25
Book by phone: $20
Unaccompanied minors: $75 — $100 (nonstop only)
Virgin America, an airline that began service in the U.S. just over five years ago, has a mixed record with fees. Each checked bag costs passengers just $25, which amounts to significantly less than most airlines for passengers with many bags. It is also among just a few airlines that doesn't charge customers to book a flight in-person. Yet its fees are high in other instances. In order to gain access to more legroom in the airplane's main cabin, fliers will have to cough up a minimum of $39 and up to $129, more than any other airline offering such a service. Although the company's frequent flier program is based on dollars spent rather than miles accrued, it is only on the base fare without the extra fees.
9. AirTran
Total additional fees: $460
First checked bag: $25
Book by phone: $15
Unaccompanied minors: $50 (nonstop or direct only)
Southwest Airlines LUV, +0.20% , the parent company of AirTran, announced that it will be raising several AirTran fees in 2013, but didn't specify which yet. Even before these increases Airtran's fee structure was not as generous as the parent company's flagship brand. For instance, although Southwest doesn't charge any change fees, AirTran charges $75 to change a flight in advance and $25 if it is a same-day flight change. While Southwest doesn't charge booking fees, AirTran charges $15 for booking over the phone. And unlike Southwest's "bags fly free" policy, AirTran charges $25 for the first checked bag and $35 for the second.
8. JetBlue
Total additional fees: $525
First checked bag: $0
Book by phone: $20
Unaccompanied minors: $100 (nonstop only)
JetBlue JBLU, -2.56% is considered a low-cost carrier that competes with airlines such as AirTran, Spirit and Southwest. Along with Southwest, JetBlue is the only other airline that does not charge a fee for the first checked bag. However, the company charges $40 for the second bag, more than any other airline in the U.S. except for Spirit. Fortunately for larger passengers, the armrests are 17.8" apart compared with the standard 17". However, those who cannot fit between the seats have to purchase a second seat with no refunds even if the flight is not full. This differs from most airlines where a refund is usually granted if a flight had extra seats.
7. Air Canada
Total additional fees: $545
First checked bag: $25
Book by phone: $0
Unaccompanied minors: $100 (nonstop only)
For flights between the U.S. and Canada, all of the extra fees could cost Air Canada travelers at least an $545 in addition to base fare. The airline charges a $150 fee in order to change a flight in advance, among the highest rates of all airlines. Although the $25 and $35 charged for the first and second checked bag are about average for all airlines, the $100 fee charged for each additional bag, while not the highest, is higher than most airlines. However, there are bright spots. The airline does not charge any fee to book a flight, one of the few airlines that do not.
6. Spirit
Total additional fees: $646
First checked bag: $30-$100
Book by phone: $11-$19/direction
Unaccompanied minors: $100 (nonstop or direct only)
Although Spirit SAVE, -0.08% is considered a low-cost airline, the company gets a hefty share of its money by charging its customers for extras. Spirit caused a commotion when it decided to charge fees for carry-on bags. The company argued that the carry-on fees would be offset by lower base fares, Spirit considers a bag to be overweight if it is over 40 lbs., rather than the typical 50 lbs. Fortunately for travelers, a bag between 41 lbs. and 50 lbs. costs just $25 extra while bags between 51 lbs. and 70 lbs. cost an extra $50, considerably lower than most overweight baggage fees. The first checked bag costs a minimum of $30, while the second checked bag costs a minimum of $40, both the highest of all airlines.
5. United
Total additional fees: $666
First checked bag: $25
Book by phone: $25
Unaccompanied minors: $99
United UAL, -1.09% is one of just three airlines, along with American and US Airways, that charges $75 when a frequent flier wants to redeem points for a ticket within 21 days of departure. Like most airlines, if a customer isn't able to fit in a seat, he or she has to purchase an additional ticket. Unlike most airlines, however, United will not refund customers for the price of the additional seat if the flight has extra space. Like the other major carriers in the U.S., the company has improved its performance by merging with another company. United merged with Continental Airlines in May 2010, forming United Continental Holdings. It is the largest airline in the world by available seat kilometers, which is the number of available seats times the number of kilometers flown by the airline.
4. Delta
Total additional fees: $754
First checked bag: $25
Book by phone: $20-$35
Unaccompanied minors: $100
Delta DAL, -1.68% is one of just four airlines that charges additional fees of more than $700. There is a $150 fee in order to change a flight in advance, tied for the highest among all airlines. In order to check a third bag, passengers must cough up $125, among the highest of all airlines. It gets worse. All additional bags after that cost $200 each, more than any other airline. Delta merged with Northwest Airlines back in 2008. The airline is currently the second largest in the world in terms of available seat kilometers.
3. Hawaiian
Total additional fees: $766
First checked bag: $25 mainland/$17 interisland
Book by phone: $25 mainland, $15 interisland
Unaccompanied minors: $100 mainland/$35 interisland
The costs of the additional fees for Hawaiian Airlines are very different depending on whether a person is flying interisland or between the islands and the U.S. mainland. For instance, there is only a $30 change fee for people flying interisland, but there is a $150 change fee for those flying between the islands and the mainland. For unaccompanied minors, the cost is just $35 interisland. But for an unaccompanied minor going to or from the mainland, that cost is $100.
2. US Airways
Total additional fees: $795
First checked bag: $25
Book by phone: $25
Unaccompanied minors: $100 (nonstop only)
US Airways US:LCC , which recently announced a merger deal with American Airlines (No. 1 on this list), charges its customers nearly $800 in additional costs. While it charges just $25 for the first checked bag and $35 for the second checked bag, in line with most other major airlines, it charges $125 for each additional bag, more than any other airline except for Delta and American. The airline is one of the few that offers blankets and pillows, although the charge is $7.
1. American Airlines
Total additional fees: $842
First checked bag: $25
Book by phone: $25
Unaccompanied minors: $100 (nonstop or direct)
American Airlines US:AAMRQ has more additional fees than any other domestic carrier. Checking a third bag costs $150, more than any other airline. Checking oversize bags costs $200, also more than any other airline. These high fees haven't resulted in strong financial performance for AMR, the airline's parent company. It isn't clear how the merger agreement with US Airways will affect fees; the new airline will retain the American name and brand, and remain based in its Fort Worth, Texas.

Prevalence and Impact of Methamphetamine Use Among Trauma Patients
Patients using methamphetamine can experience adverse physical and medical consequences resulting in emergency department use and hospitalization. To assess the prevalence and impact of methamphetamine use among trauma patients, researchers surveyed the records of 4932 (76%) patients who were seen in a Level I trauma center in San Diego between 2003–2005 and who underwent a urine toxicology screening during their visit.
- The rate of methamphetamine use (defined as a positive urine screen), but not other illicit drug use, increased from 2003 to 2005 (from 9% to 15%).
- In analyses adjusted for other drug use, age, sex, and injury severity, patients with (versus without) a methamphetamine-positive urine screen were more likely to have
- been injured in a violent way (e.g., gunshot wound, stab wound) (odds ratio [OR], 2.0);
- attempted suicide (OR, 1.7);
- been a victim of domestic violence (OR, 2.5);
- required more medical care (e.g., one or more operations [OR, 1.5], mechanical ventilation [OR, 1.6]);
- died from their injuries (OR, 2.3).
This study documents the change in the epidemiology of methamphetamine use in southern California over a recent 3-year period. In regions where methamphetamine use is common (e.g., West, Midwest of the U.S.), emergency departments and trauma centers can expect to see a consistent flow of patients using the drug. Identification via urine toxicology screening plus access to addiction treatment services may help change the trajectory of methamphetamine use in these high-prevalence areas.

Hi Everyone, I've done a search but can't find any threads dedicated to IBU theory. I know it can get a bit technical and dense but I'd like to learn some things regarding how many IBUs I can actually get into a beer (I've heard the max is ~100) and what any additional hops contribute to the flavor profile of a beer. I'm formulating a recipe and want to know at which point I'm just wasting money by adding hops. Here is a sample hops schedule for reference: .5oz Columbus (FWH) @14.5% 1oz Columbus 60 min @14.5% 1oz Nuggest 60 min @ 12.2% .5oz Columbus 45 min @ 14.5% 1 oz Nuggest 45 min @12.2% 1oz Centennial 30 min @9.7% 1oz Williamette 10 min @ 4.8% .5oz Centennial 10 min @9.7% 1oz Williamette 13 days dry hop @4.8% .5oz Centennial 13 days dry hop @9.7% My BrewPal app tells me that should be 164 IBUs but I know there are several caveats to that. Can anyone help me to understand what's actually going on here in terms of IBUs? Also, I've read about additions longer than 20 mins contributing little to no flavor, so is there also room in this schedule for some movement in order to be more efficient? Thanks!!
For really bitter beers I tend to aim for ~150 IBUs, even though the measured value rarely if ever goes over 100. You are probably pretty close to saturating the beer with bitterness, but you could add plenty more aromatics. I would shift the 30/45 min additions up to 60 and down to 0 to get the most out of them. I'd also double the dry hop if you want an agressive hop nose.
Check out The Mad Fermentationist for my adventures in fermentation and my book: American Sour Beers!
For bitterness, there are several formulas out there but Tinseth is generally considered to be best of breed. That said, it is several years old and a lot of the thinking has changed since then. The formula is described here. I think the general consensus is that you start getting sharply declining returns past 100 IBU, but I don't know of any real research on the matter. As far as flavor goes, this idea of "early=bitterness, late=flavor/aroma" is sometimes overstated. It is certainly true that longer boil hops will contribute more bitterness and shorter boil hops will tend to be more aromatic, but it isn't really accurate to say that additions longer than 20 minutes add no flavor. For starters, bitter is a flavor, right? But even if you mean something more specific by "flavor" (i.e., variety-specific character), different types of bittering hops will lend different characteristics to the beer.
Thanks OldSock and Malfet. Having read what you both posted, I'm still a little curious about my hop schedule above. Is there any way for me to look at this and understand if I'm essentially using more than need be for the resulting IBUs?
I guess I'm not sure I understand your question. None of your hops is going to "waste" if that is what you mean. When trying to brew a beer of very high IBU, it ends up being a bit inefficient just because of the diminishing return factor. If you take any of those hops out, you'll end up with a different, less bitter profile. It is not as though you get full extraction of hops up to 100 IBU and then a complete stop past that, at least not according to my understanding of isomerization and diffusion. If you want more bitterness from the same amount of hops, you can do what oldsock suggests and push some of your middle additions earlier. If you want more hop nose, you can push some of your late additions to whirlpool (or even add more then).
Some reading material on the subject, much of which is beyond my scant chemistry knowledge.http://www.hopresearchcouncil.org/re...chemistry.html
Thanks again Malfet- you answered my question which was more regarding hop timing to achieve more bitterness. Samc thanks for that link! I'm really curious about this subject. Thanks to all!
I wondered about a similar thing when I started thinking about formulating some IIPAs. I looked at a bunch of recipes and pretty much came to the conclusion that so long as you have about 2oz of high alpha hops (like 14% and up) at the beginning of your boil, you'll approach maximum bitterness. Couple that with some hefty late additions and you'll almost certainly hit it. I've definitely found that I get more bitterness (or apparent bitterness if that's a thing) when I do some sort of continuous hopping. For a barleywine I intended to age a long time, I did one 60 min addition, and then a bunch of half oz additions every 5 minutes from 30 minutes onward. So I'd say that anything more than 2-3oz for your bittering addition is waste. Extra hops should be used for late additions.
Thanks Kanzimonson- this is basically the anectodtal info I was looking for. I just wasn't sure if there were any hard and fast kind of formulations for understanding the IBU or as you said "perceived" bitterness drop off of hops that would bring you in excess of 100 IBU. I think it will end up being more of a trial and error exercise.
The human palate supposedly can't detect any past 100 IBU, but those hops still add flavor and changing the additions will affect the profile of the beer--even if it stays above 100 IBU.

Time spent eating and exercising can impact quality of life measures such as general health and risk for obesity. This article links data from the American Time Use Study and the Eating and Health Module to explore exercise and eating patterns for varying age groups, over different times of day, and by self-reported health status. Younger Americans who did some exercise were more likely to engage in higher impact sports. Older Americans who exercised were more likely to do so in the morning. Americans who reported being in excellent health spent more time exercising than other self-reported health groups, regardless of their sex or age.

I'm undecided what I am going to introduce he his breastfed right now and will continue after 1 but would like to introduce him to other items. What are other moms doing?
opinions on almond and coconut milk...
I'm undecided what I am going to introduce he his breastfed right now and will continue after 1 but would like to introduce him to other items. What are other moms doing?
But that's just me. I don't judge what others choose. Dh is lactose intolerant and I'm a vegetarian, for what that's worth.
My boys drink almond milk because they have dairy allergies--I just give a little to Xander at this point to practice with a sippy cup. Logan mainly drinks water now that he is older but uses almond milk in his cereal . I also breastfed Logan until 2.5 and will breastfeed Xander until he self weans. We just stuck with almond milk because it is what Logan preferred at the time and now it is just what we are used to. I drink almond milk because I don't care for cow's milk, but my husband drinks whole milk.
Logan Richard-- October 24, 2010
Alexander Manuel (Xander)-- October 18, 2013
I love the taste of almond milk and enjoy coconut water/milk for myself but won't be giving them to LO as a main staple. I'll be giving cows milk for its naturally derived fat, protien and nutrients. Almond milk etc. tend to have lots of additives that arn't good for you and sometimes add sugar. So look at the labels and find a brand that is healthier that way if you want to give it.
FTM to Baby Caden 10/22/13
We use whole coconut milk (from the can with no preservatives) as a base for smoothies...but if LO we're going to be drinking a milk regularly we'd be using raw cow or goat milk.
But we don't do milk at all. They get all of their nutrients from real food and we breastfed full term.

O.co Coliseum, Oakland, California
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Rich Harden deliberately didn't rear back and throw as hard as he could against the Phillies.
The result: a career-high 11 strikeouts.Harden was dominant over eight innings, allowing two hits to lead the Oakland Athletics over Philadelphia 5-0 Thursday."Sometimes when I get into trouble I do try to reach for something extra instead of pitching to location," Harden said. "[Catcher Rob] Bowen had to come out once to slow me down. My goal is to be more efficient."Harden (5-0) retired his first 14 batters before Shane Victorino singled cleanly into center field. Victorino got Philadelphia's other hit off Harden, an infield single with one out in the eighth."I've had games where I've felt better," Harden said. "In the past I've always had that one inning when I'd lose command suddenly. I want to get away from that. I was able to locate pitches and I felt good."Harden's previous best for strikeouts was 10 against Tampa Bay on Aug. 31, 2003. He is the first A's pitcher to start a season 5-0 since Billy Koch in 2002, and he improved to 18-3 in 29 starts when pitching at least seven innings."I can't think of a more dominating performance than that one," A's manager Bob Geren said. "When he's on, he's almost unhittable."Sidetracked by injuries during much of his career, Harden has made nine consecutive turns in the rotation for the first time in three years. He had not pitched eight innings since April 21, 2006, against the Los Angeles Angels."He pitched one of the better games against us this year if not the best," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "We got beat by a good pitcher. They outhit us and outpitched us."Harden threw 95 pitches, easily his most proficient outing of the season."He didn't leave too much over the plate for us," Phillies second baseman Chase Utley said. "It seemed like he could have gone longer."Alan Embree completed the three-hitter, allowing Pat Burrell's two-out triple before retiring Ryan Howard on a groundout.NL East-leading Philadelphia has lost seven of eight. Reigning NL MVP Jimmy Rollins struck out three times and made his first error in 40 games when he mishandled a grounder in the seventh.Carlos Gonzalez homered for Oakland, which has won three of its last four series.Adam Eaton (2-6) dropped to 0-4 in nine road games, allowing three runs and six hits in six innings."It would be nice to actually not give up a couple of runs in the first inning," Eaton said. "It's happened in four starts. With what Harden did out there, it's tough not to fall right behind the 8-ball. Harden really had no-hit stuff; he had our number."Oakland's first three batters reached: Mark Ellis walked and scored on an RBI double by Ryan Sweeney, who came around on Jack Cust's single. Sweeney then left the game due to a sprained left ankle and was sent for X-rays."His foot got caught up with the catcher and it swelled up quickly," Geren said.Gonzalez homered for a 3-0 lead in the sixth. Jack Hannahan doubled in a run in the eighth against Tom Gordon and scored on an error by Victorino in center.Game notes
Harden has allowed more than three runs in only one of his 11 starts and improved to 31-0 in 38 starts when getting four or more runs of support. ... The Phillies have been successful on 23 consecutive steal attempts and lead the majors with a 90 percent success rate. ... Phillies OF Geoff Jenkins went 0-for-3 and is hitless in his last 26 at-bats. ... Athletics SS Bobby Crosby became the fifth Oakland player to record at least 25 doubles before the All-Star Break.

text: Canadian Wildlife Service – Environment Canada Guidelines for Visiting Seabird Colonies in Canada Draft - November 2003 Canadian Wildlife Service Seabird Technical Committee Introduction These guidelines are designed to increase awareness of the sensitivities of Canada's breeding seabirds to disturbance, and of the regulations in place to protect the birds and their habitats. They provide guidance on appropriate behaviour to follow when at or near colonies of nesting seabirds. Seabird Life In general, seabirds have long life spans and low reproductive rates, with many species only laying one egg per year. They often nest on islands, on cliff-faces or in other inaccessible locations to avoid predators, and several species may nest together in mixed colonies. Some seabirds nest on ledges or on open rock, while others nest under boulders, in crevices or in burrows they have excavated in the soil. Colonies in Canada range in size from a few pairs of nesting terns or gulls to over a million pairs of Leach's Storm-petrels. Although most species spend much of the year at sea, spring and summer are especially important to seabirds at their colonies. This is the time they court, mate, lay and incubate their eggs, and raise and feed their young. Nesting seasons along Canada's southern coasts run from March through September, and extend through the ice-free period in Canada's Arctic. Colonial nesting allows efficient use of limited space. It also enables seabirds to put up a common defense by mobbing against ground and aerial predators such as foxes, raccoons, gulls and eagles. However, it can also have serious disadvantages. Colonies are vulnerable to habitat loss and destruction, and to the impacts of catastrophic events such as storms, disease, and oil spills. Colonial birds are particularly vulnerable to the effects of human disturbance. Humans and Seabirds For hundreds of years, seabirds were exploited for meat, eggs, and feathers, and many nesting colonies were disrupted by human disturbance and development. The Great Auk, a flightless colonial-nesting seabird once present by the hundreds of thousands in the North Atlantic, was harvested to extinction by the early 1800s. Concern over severe declines in the numbers of seabirds nesting in coastal regions of Canada's eastern provinces contributed to the passage of the Migratory Birds Convention Act in 1917. Changing economies and societal values have led to the abandonment of many coastal islands, allowing seabirds to re-colonize many former nesting sites. Seabirds nesting along Canada's coasts are now protected by the Migratory Birds Convention Act, or by corresponding provincial or territorial legislation, which make it illegal to disturb or harass birds. Most protection extends to the adult birds as well as to their nests, eggs and young. Many colonies are afforded additional protection as Migratory Bird Sanctuaries, National Wildlife Areas or National Park Reserves under federal jurisdiction or as Ecological Reserves, Wildlife Habitat Areas, Wildlife Management Areas or Wildlife Conservation Areas under provincial or territorial legislation. These designations may add specific regulations that go beyond the guidelines presented here, and most protected colonies are completely closed to visitation during the spring and summer nesting periods. Under Canada's new Species at Risk Act, several species of coastal birds are classified as being at risk of extinction. Roseate Terns, Marbled Murrelets, Ivory Gulls, Piping Plovers, and eastern populations of Harlequin Ducks and Barrow's Goldeneye, are among the species currently are listed as being at risk in Canada. These birds, their residences, and their critical habitat are given additional protection by this act. In addition to these designations, there are numerous provincial, territorial, regional and municipal acts, policies and guidelines which may regulate visitors' activities. Before approaching coastal island or mainland colonies, prospective visitors should contact relevant agencies and local landowners to determine what restrictions may apply, and to obtain any necessary permits. Impacts of Disturbance Seabird nesting colonies throughout North America have seen increased visitation by private boaters, picnickers, tourists, and fishers. Many people are not aware that approaching colonies, landing boats, letting pets run loose, walking across nesting areas, or staying too long in one spot can affect these birds. Even approaching too closely by water can put seabirds at risk. Disturbance can cause seabirds to abandon their nests or young, or to use valuable energy reserves for defense, instead of incubating eggs and feeding young. The presence of humans in close proximity to nests may prevent parent birds from returning to protect and feed their young, and expose eggs or chicks to predation, and to the lethal effects of heat, cold and rain. As many species of colonial seabirds nest in hidden crevices, burrows, vegetation or on top of exposed rocky ledges, a careless step in a colony can destroy a bird's eggs. When parent birds are flushed, many seabird chicks wander from their nest site and may fall to the water, be taken by predators, or pecked to death by neighbouring birds. Some species are particularly sensitive at certain stages of their breeding cycle. For example, murre chicks fledge in July and August, primarily in the late afternoon and evening, when disturbance can cause premature fledging and high chick mortality. How you can help In general, because human disturbance of nesting seabirds puts their eggs and chicks at such risk, people should stay away from all active breeding colonies between March and September. Human activities in waters around nesting colonies, such as fishing and boating, can also put seabirds at risk. These activities should be kept far enough away to avoid flushing birds from their nests, or causing them to dive at you in an attempt to drive you away from the colony. Colonial nesting seabirds often share rocky islands and ledges with other wildlife, such as seals or sealions. You know you are too close if these marine mammals become restless and plunge into the water. In all cases where you may be disturbing seabirds, move away as quickly and quietly as possible. Canadian Wildlife Service Guidelines for Visiting Seabird Colonies Take special care to minimize your impact when at or near seabird colonies, as human presence can cause serious disturbance to nesting birds. Remember, it is illegal to disturb or kill migratory birds, or to destroy their nests or eggs, and offenses are punishable by fines or jail sentences. By respecting the birds and adhering to these guidelines, visitors may be able to gain a unique wildlife experience near a seabird colony, without impacting the birds themselves. In general, the Canadian Wildlife Service recommends that people stay off seabird islands and colonies, and avoid any disturbance of migratory birds, during the breeding season. However, in cases where visitation is permitted, these guidelines should be followed. On land: Determine if the colony is a protected site (see contacts listed below) Obtain permission from land owners, and secure any necessary permits from management agencies in advance (see contact information provided). Only spend brief periods at a colony, and do not visit on cold, wet or windy days or very hot days. Visit colonies at mid-day early in the season when weather is cool, and in mid-morning and late afternoon on warm summer days Avoid colonies at dusk and dawn, when seabirds are either feeding after guarding their nests all night, or are settling down for the night. Do not visit colonies of nocturnal seabirds at night. Obey all signs at the colony, and stay on paths and behind barriers. Do not enter areas where nests, eggs, chicks or dive-bombing parents are present. Be extremely careful where you walk, looking down to avoid crushing camouflaged eggs or chicks, and return the same way that you entered the colony. Avoid loud noises or sudden movements, and speak only in a low voice. Take everything you bring back with you, as seabirds can mistake trash for food. Do not build fires, cut trees or collect vegetation on seabird islands. Do not bring pets any where near seabird colonies. On the water: Maintain a minimum distance of at least 100 metres from all areas of the island or colony occupied by seabirds, unless otherwise authorized by permit. Always travel at steady speeds when close to seabird colonies, moving parallel to the shore, rather than approaching the colony directly. Avoid any sharp or load noises, do not blow horns or whistles, and maintain constant engine noise levels. Do not pursue seabirds swimming on the water surface, and avoid large concentrations of seabirds on the water. Where possible, only use certified tour boats or accredited guides. Anchor large vessels, such as cruise ships, at least 500 m from the nesting islands and only approach in smaller vessels. Avoid colonies that are spread over clusters of islands, as these areas tend to present hazards to navigation, and a single visit will disturb many birds in a confined area. Never dump oil or waste overboard, as even small amounts of oil can kill birds and other marine life, and habitats may take years to recover. From the air: Helicopters and other aircraft should keep well away from nesting cliffs or islands, as aircraft can cause severe disturbance to seabird colonies, and there is a serious risk of collision with flying birds. Aircraft should keep at least 300 metres above occupied colonies, and at least 500 m to the side of colonies.

Seabirds That Commonly Breed in Canada Most members of the Alcid or Auk family lay only one egg on an open ledge or in a burrow or crevice although guillemots often lay 2-3. All species are very susceptible to effects of disturbance, and their colonies should not be approached closely. Thick-billed Murre (Arctic, Labrador, Atlantic Puffin (Atlantic provinces, Québec, Newfoundland, British Québec) Columbia) Tufted Puffin (British Columbia) Common Murre (Newfoundland, Horned Puffin (British Columbia) Labrador, Québec, British Columbia) Rhinoceros Auklet (British Columbia) Razorbill (Atlantic provinces, Québec) Black Guillemot (change to appropriate Eastern and Arctic ) Pigeon Guillemot (British Columbia) Ancient Murrelet (British Columbia) Cormorants and gannets are large seabirds that nest or on low islands, often in tress (cormorants), or on rocky ledges or cliffs (gannets). Some cormorant or gannet colonies may be approached by boat or visited by land in British Columbia or Québec. Double-crested Cormorant (Atlantic Northern Gannet (Newfoundland, provinces, Québec British Columbia) Québec) Pelagic Cormorant (British Columbia) Great Cormorant (Atlantic provinces, Québec) Gulls are robust birds that nest in mixed colonies scattered along our coasts. They may prey on eggs or chicks of other seabirds if a colony is disturbed. Herring Gull (throughout) Black-legged Kittiwake (throughout + Great Black-backed Gull (Atlantic British Columbia) provinces, Québec) Glaucous Gull (Arctic, Labrador) Ring-billed Gull (Atlantic provinces, Glaucous-winged Gull (British Québec) Columbia) Bonaparte's Gull (British Columbia) Iceland Gull (Arctic) Terns are small relatives of the gulls that are very sensitive to disturbance. As they will dive- bomb intruders, and may even abandon a colony completely in response to human activity, their colonies should not be visited. Common Tern (Atlantic provinces, Roseate Tern (Endangered – a few Québec) protected sites in Québec, Nova Scotia Arctic Tern (throughout + British and New Brunswick) Columbia) The tube-nosed seabirds spend most of their lives far out at sea. Fulmars nest on ledges in northern colonies. Storm-petrels nest in narrow burrows on wooded islands and although their presence may be hard to detect, burrows can be easily destroyed by walking in the colony. Northern Fulmar (Arctic, Labrador, Leach's Storm-petrel (Atlantic British Columbia) provinces, Québec, British Columbia) Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel (British Columbia) Several other seabird species nest less frequently in coastal areas of Canada, including Laughing Gull, Black-headed Gull, Mew Gull, Ivory Gull, Caspian Tern and Manx Shearwater. Most of these species are also very sensitive to disturbance.

Thinking about picking it up seems like a pretty solid bike at a good price point. Just wanting some insight from anyone who owns it or has any experience with the X6. I tried to find some reviews on it , but couldn't find anything that was very in depth. It looks like the build kit is pretty good with the x9 drive train and the fox van r on the back. I'm also wondering about the size I'm pretty sure I need the 16. I currently ride a GT that's a 15 but it doesn't give me a whole lot of stand over with a 32 inch inseam (I'm 5'6. ). I looked up the geo chart for Haro and it looked like it's a 30.5 standover for both the 14 and 16 I just don't want to be too cramped if I went with the 14 with the top tube length. I also found some mixed reviews with the Marzocchi 55RS. Thanks in advance anybody feel free to share anything to do with the bike .

Sleep Nation, Inc. Expands Its Insurance Coverage For Patients
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sleep Nation, Inc., a national provider of continuous positive airway pressure equipment (CPAP), today announced a major expansion in its insurance coverage for patients. Being able to be reimbursed by more health plans expands the company's ability to provide valuable services to patients.
"As Sleep Nation grows through acquisitions and internal growth initiatives, gaining full access to these patients through managed care contracting is critical", said Richardson M. Roberts, CEO of Sleep Nation. "With many DME's projected to go out of business due to Medicare's competitive bidding program, patients run the risk of having difficulty finding a provider who is in-network with their insurance." Rich Roberts added, "Since our purchase of CPAP Care Club, LLC in May 2012, our Managed Care Department has added 50 new health insurance contracts providing access to an additional 40 million lives nationally."
"We have a lower cost method of delivery that is really easy for the patient to use. We take over the medical paperwork requirements that are required, file with the patient's insurance and deliver the product to their door," said Rich Roberts.

Auburn, East top regional pairings
By Matt Nestor
Sports Columnist
Seeding for the IHSA regionals, which begin Feb. 28, have been announced for all classes.
Teams from the NIC-10 have been split into two classes, as a result of the size of the schools.
East, Belvidere, Belvidere North and Freeport will all compete in Class 3A. Auburn, Hononegah, Boylan, Harlem, Guilford and Jefferson will all be in the Class 4A tournament.
The 3A regional will be played at Belvidere North. For that regional, East has been named the top seed.
It is a staggering turnaround for an East program that has not had a winning season in 10 years. A recent home win over Belvidere North may have been the key victory in helping the E-Rabs secure the top seed.
"If we would have lost tonight, I don't know what would have happened," Sackmaster said after defeating the Blue Thunder on the last night before seedings were announced. "Now that we've won, I'm pretty confident that we are the No. 1 seed."
The E-Rabs are the only team in their regional with a winning record, and they are 4-1 versus the teams in the regional.
The regional begins Feb. 28 with a game between 4-seed Belvidere and 5-seed Marengo. The winner will play East March 2.
Also March 2, host Belvidere North will play Freeport. The regional final will be March 4, with the winner advancing to the sectional in Woodstock.
The Class 4A regional will be played at Jefferson, with two games taking place Feb. 28. Harlem, the 4 seed, will take on the host school, 5-seed Jefferson. Following that game, 3-seed Boylan will play the 6 seed, Guilford.
The Harlem and Jefferson winner will play the next night against top-seed Auburn. March 2, the 2-seed, Hononegah, will face the Boylan and Guilford winner.
For Hononegah, it caps a terrific climb up the standings since the start of the new year. The Indians have won 11 straight games since a loss to Auburn, including a win over Boylan, whom they beat for the 2 seed, despite being tied in the conference standings.
The Class 4A regional final will also be March 4, with the winner advancing to the Algonquin Jacobs sectional.

Joe Budden - R.I.P.
Artist: Joe Budden
Producer: J. Cardim
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 31 votes )
Joe Budden's never been a pacifist, but even for him he's been on a particular rampage lately. The latest addition to Budden's enormous "tracks where rappers get served hard" catalog is R.I.P., a net-only banger that was the product of a late-night studio session. Produced by regular production partner J. Cardim, who puts together a beat that at first sounds like a montage from a '80s sports movie before turning on the juice, R.I.P. appropriately kills any wack rappers that dare stand in its path. In typical fashion Budden drops a notebook's worth of material on the track, but my favorite line is "I refuse to ball my fist when the heart of New Jersey's in my hand." That, my friends, is the definition of dope lyricism. R.I.P. won't be included on Budden's upcoming album The Great Escape, which currently has no release date, but in the meantime I think we can all rest assured this is far from the last we've heard from Joey.

Well jeez AF just wants to take all of my money don't they. See you all there, i'll be in the pit
Mother fucker. I really want to sell my ticket for the Forum.
"Mr. Toad's Wild Aidz."
Tempted to go for this despite having good Forum seats. Maybe the Reflektor presale codes will be halfway decent for this.
Sleep Train is a 12,500 person venue vs. the SB Bowl's 4,500. You can't see the ocean from Sleep Train.

SB bowl is also done at 10pm so lots of the night ahead of you once they're done. Great food/beer all around there. And $7 IPAs at the venue isn't too bad either. You'll love the pit as well, they definitely undersell it and leave everyone with plenty of room.
Arcade Fire and local wine
That sounds fantastic
SB Bowl always. My first show was Jefferson Starship in '75 that I got in free for because (a) my uncle was the promoter and (b) I got to sell veggie sandwiches in the snack stand.
I have been to concerts. I will go to concerts in the future.
Gonna use my pre-order code for this one I think. hoping for pit, never been to sb bowl
Yes! Got my pit tix!
Same. pretty stoked !
Its too bad I need more then 2 :/ Just gonna have to send my brother to the box office for a bunch of tickets, at least he will save on fees...oof.
Oh man, really glad they let me re-use my code since I only used it for one ticket for last year's Palladium gig. I'd rather show up to this early than the Forum show. Way less stressful and you can find free parking early.
I haven't been to Sleep Train in years (since it was Coors) but isn't nothing special at all.
If this was on a weekend I would make the trip in a heartbeat.

Events Cred and POP
Career Mode - Events Cred and POP
Other Events, Cred, and POP
Not only do you have techniques to deal with, your character will be tracked on his CRED (Credibility) and POP (Popularity). CRED affects how quickly you are allowed to upgrade your trainer or sparring partner, which in turn lead to more attribute or skill points quicker. POP affects how well the sponsors like you, and high sponsor relations lead to bigger CRED boosts as well. Both CRED and POP combine to also affect how high you climb on the card, though your straight win-loss record is a big factor there as well.
Once you get to the UFC level, you will be asked (arguably too much) if you want to take part in events, like pre-fight interviews or predictions on UFC fights. Participating in any of these events will earn you some CRED or POP. The downside is that participating in any event other than attending your own weigh-in eats up a week that you could have spent training, sparring, or working on a technique. Attending an event will lower your fatigue, but not nearly as much as just choosing Rest from the calendar. It's our experience that the boosts you get from CRED and POP events are not worth giving up training. Because you get a high amount of CRED overall if you win consistently (from both the win itself and from all the sponsors), it makes more sense to spend your time improving your odds of winning (i.e., by training) than doing a silly pre-fight interview. And don't worry: neither Dana White nor the fans care if you blow off every single interview offer, so it's in your best interest to simply not do them.
Sometimes, you are coerced to do them, such as post-fight interviews with Joe Rogan after you win. These don't take any time away from your character, and they actually give your character a bit of a POP or CRED boost free of charge. Depending on how you answer Joe's questions, it impacts not only that, but how other fighters feel about you.
See, every named fighter in your division has a relationship meter of sorts with you, ranging from Rival at the minimum to Friend at the maximum. Upsetting your opponent actually gives you more POP, in the sense that everyone knows a bad guy (think Brock Lesnar: love him or hate him, you know his name). Being an opponent's friend by constantly respecting them gives you discounts at the same camp they attend; that is, you'll gain a multiplier allowing you to train fewer times for the same number of training points, making it easier to learn and master techniques. If you disrespect your opponents, your POP will gain faster, leading indirectly to more CRED (from sponsors), leading to faster promotions up the card.
To gain CRED from sponsors, you need to deck out your fighter in sponsor logos. To do this, hit RT/R2 until you'll at the My Fighter tab between fights, then press Y/Triangle to customize your fighter. From there, go to your gear, and select Custom Trunks, Custom Shirt, and Custom Hat. You can use any base layer you want, and then can affix sponsor logos however you wish, up to 10 per shirt or trunks and up to 5 for the hat. Fighting in any fight regardless of result will gain you some CRED from each of your sponsors. Further, the more you stick with one sponsor, the more it upgrades and gives you even more CRED. So, while THQ might give you 10 CRED per logo per fight at first, if you stick with THQ through enough fights and get your POP high enough, THQ will start to give you 50 CRED per logo per fight.
Eventually, sponsors will like you so much that they'll give you sponsor trunks, sponsor shirts, and sponsor hats. These can be used as bases but can have logos as well, essentially giving you one more sponsor spot for you. I'm sure there's a philosophical issue when it comes to pimping out your own body for more CRED, but really, no one is going to care while you're kicking the crap out of people.

Sales of Japanese passenger cars in China slumped 59.4% year-on-year in October, a Chinese industry group said on Friday, as a territorial row between the countries pummelled demand.
A Chinese demonstrator shouts anti-Japan slogans at a recent protest in Hangzhou in eastern China's Zhejiang province.

Editors' Review
+Gems With Friends Free for iOS is social puzzle game that uses drag-and-drop gems to rack up points against your opponent. We loved the game's simple, but strategic gameplay, and found it very addictive.
To begin, you can log in with either your Facebook account or with your e-mail address. For new users, logging in with either will create a new account where you can select your username. We loved the quick introduction that walks you through a sample game. After going through each tip, we felt we had a good handle on how to play the game. Gems With Friends' premise is pretty simple: Drag highlighted gems to the board. Match three or more gems to get another gem, which automatically appears on the board. The gems have numbers on them, which add up to big points as you successfully make matches. Each match gives you a star, which gives you bonus points. The points disappear if you take too long on the board. Power gems act as wildcards that you can use in case you don't have a matching gem to play. Once you start a game, you're asked to find friends on Facebook to play, or you can have the game find a random opponent, which is what we opted to do. We jumped in and started dragging and dropping gems to the board as quickly as we could before time ran out. Once our time ran out, it was our opponent's turn do the same. A notification appeared on our iPhone once it was our turn to play.
Yes, you're bombarded with ads on some of the game's screens, but, hey, it's free. Gems With Friends is one of those mindless, but fun games that you can easily get lost in for hours. We highly recommend it for all users.
