It's important to have regular eye exams so that you can tell if your vision is slipping or if your loved ones are devolving into fuzzy blobs. Stay sharp with this Groupon.
$49 for Eye Exam and $150 Toward Glasses ($269 Total Value)
Performed by veteran optometrists, the comprehensive exam (a $119 value) explores the eye to ascertain vision quality and rule out ocular diseases and vision anomalies. Once finished, patients in need of new specs can purchase their lenses and frames at a shop with more than 1,500 lenses from designer brands. Patients can don Pezzo frames with a single-vision lens (starting at $150), go traditional with a Ray-Ban frame and single-vision lens (starting at $344), or tie outfits together with chic Dolce & Gabbana frames with lenses (starting at $419). Pricing varies based on individuals and lenses.
Dr. Shah & Dr. Frohn Optometry
In 1968, Dr. Kunal Shah and Dr. Robert Frohn opened an optometry business fresh out of medical school. More than 40 years later, their treatments have advanced and their office has grown, but their mission hasn't changed. To this day, they still put each patient's eye care first, using their combined 60 years of experience to customize treatments for each patient. Their services range from comprehensive examinations to remedies for astigmatism, dry-eye syndrome, and macular degeneration, all provided by staff who speak both English and Spanish. The doctors even treat specialized cases, helping patients in need of low-vision and pediatric optometry. They also venture into complex treatments, such as LASIK and cataract surgery, with the use of advanced technology. After exams or procedures, patients in need of glasses can pick out a new pair of frames in an onsite eyewear boutique featuring brands such as Gucci, Ray Ban, Coach, and more, and fill their new prescriptions thanks to the office's lens-sculpting services.

Tunneler ID please: Mole, gopher, mole cricket, shrew, or vole (p
I just want to identify the source of these mounds in my yard. I'm in South Florida. Before I can try some of the creative methods (i.e., chewing gum) of ridding my yard of these pests, I need to know what they are.
I've read other posts and have learned it's probably one of the folloing: voles, moles, mole crickets, gophers, shrews. Thanks!!! From yard mounds

voles and shrews are smaller than white mice up here .... they make holes about the size of a quarter or so.. and do not push up the excess soil ...
those are classic mole tunnels.. in MI ... god knows what you might have down there.. lol ...
spear type traps are the only thing that works... not gum.. not water.. not gas ... you have to kill them ...
tramp down the tunnels.. until you find an active one.. then set the snare or spear gizmo ...
some think that treating the lawn to remove the things its eating is another way to reduce populations ...
good luck
I'm not familiar with Florida's or Michigan's wildlife. Here in south central Maine, our voles can be considerably bigger than a mouse, as big as a half-grown rat. I shot a large vole recently with my 22-caliber air rifle. It had invaded the area where I am excavating for the foundation of a new greenhouse. Actually, it was the biggest vole I have seen, but we have caught several on sticky traps that were as big as the very biggest mouse. We have dozens, perhaps hundreds of voles here on this property. Voles are vegetarians, while moles are carnivores.
Don't count on Juicy Fruit chewing gum controlling any of your pests. I suspect that is some kind of suburban/urban myth. The stuff has sugar in it, so if they chew it, it may cause cavities for them, but I don't think that is an effective pest management strategy. (grin)
google voles.... google moles.. then google vole tunnels and lastly mole tunnel ... after the sites load at google... hit the IMAGES button near the top to hone in on links with pix that interest you ....
at the link below... just past half way down... classic picture of moles tunnels.... and one ugly mole .... lol
you will probably be amazed.. how few there might be .... one critter can do a lot of damage ....
good luck
Here is a link that might be useful: just past half way down
Almost every mole control you have ever heard about is not effective in any way. The baits now being sold that kind of almost look similar to earthworms are effective, provided the mole decides to use the tunnel you put the bait in again. If you bear in mind that one mole needs about 1/4 acre of territory, and that in spite of appearances, the damage done to your lawn you most likely only have one mole. all you need do is with the traps is have it in place where the mole will travel next. Of course, once you kill that mole there is a vacany and another mole will move in.
The single most effective (and expensive) method to keep moles out is with a castor oil spray, 1 pint of castor oil applied to 2,500 square feet. Many of the commercial sprays I have seen have less than 1 pint of castor oil in them and they are supposed to cover 10,000 square feet and they will not be effective.
ABSOLUTELY moles. Mole cricket holes and tunnels are much, much smaller. I have a good castor oil recipe, but I'll have to dig it up from somewhere. You can't simply apply plain castor oil (as the above post seemingly suggests), but need to create an emulsion.
Common sense tells you that you do not apply 1 pint of castor oil plain over 2,500 square feet. Common sense should suggest that there is a mixture, which I did not list because this is an expensive treatment, at $4.89 per 1/4 pint the last time I looked at the pharmacy.
Research at Michigan State University Turf Grass school found that applying 1 pint of castor oil mixed with water in a 1 quart hose end sprayer and applied over 2,500 square feet would keep moles away for 6 to 8 weeks.
Don't get your knickers in a twist, kimmsr! lol...you just left out part of the helpful information. Actually, plain water and castor oil won't make an emulsion either, but a bit of soap would help the process.
By the way, ladybugfalcon, the castor oil treatments really can help...unlike some of the other 'home remedies' you've heard of. I really like the chewing gum fable. I've heard that it MUST be Juicy Fruit, though different sources dictate that either needs to be chewed up a bit OR that it must never touch human hands. What a riot.
Most people, however, find that mole traps are very effective, once you get the hang of them. They aren't for everybody, though.
Unless you fear that you have a severe problem, you could simply keep the tunnels stamped down and hope that they lose interest in your yard. A few mole visits don't necessarily mean that you have to take action.
Hi guys. Thanks to all who've replied. Since my original post, here's where I am now:
1) They are moles (not mole crickets, voles, etc.)
2) Sweeny's Poison Peanuts dont' work that great.
3) They apparently love the little nuts that fall from the Palm trees.
4) I'm headed to Lowes again today to find another remedy. The sonic thing is about $40, so I'll save that till last.
Here's the latest pictures.
From yard mounds

From yard mounds
The moles are worse now. Sweeny's Poison Peanuts did not work at all. Here's my latest attempt: Dr. T's Mole Out Repelling Granules
I first poked holes into the tunnels with a sharpee. I did this every 5 inches all along the tunnels.
Then, I filled the holes up with the granules. I first put the granules into an empty water bottle to make it easier.
I will let you know how things turn out. I am bound and determined rid my lawn of thes pests. Next on my list is the neighor's cat, but that will require a different set of tactics.
I agree with the reply to the chewing gum post, I don't think it will work, these things are really hard to get rid of. I have a gopher problem myself. I have a friend who successfully trapped some of his, and thought he had gotten rid of all of them, but then they returned. I used a "Every liquid in my garage" method, and successfully got rid of them for most of the summer, but now he/they are back. I tried it again last night, and so far he hasn't covered up the hole again, so I'll post again to tell of my findings.
Well everyone, I think I may have my gopher. The everything on the garage method didn't work this time, and the hardware store was out of traps, so I bought the smoke bombs. I was able to see that he was active between three holes, so I stuck 4 bombs in them. Haven't seen him or it fix the holes yet, although it may be fearful due to those smoke things still in them, will just have to wait and see. It snowed last night, so am in a wait and see mode, will post again. Thanks.
Moles are carnivores, meat eaters, and their most favorite food is earthworms, although they will eat grubs, too. Spreading grain products in the hope the moles will eat them is a large waste of time, energy, and money since the moles will not eat that stuff. One thing to keep in mind is that as soon as you eliminate one mole that creates a vacancy that another mole will move into, so you will always be fighting these wee buggers unless you poison your soil so nothing will live in it.
If you have not yet talked with your local University of Florida USDA Cooperative Extension Service people, now would be a good time to do that since they may have some updated information about mole control.
Here is a link that might be useful: UF CES
I don't get all that excited about moles. They are very useful. Moles are important predators of insect larvae, centipedes, millipedes, snails, slugs, grubs, ants, sowbugs, termites, beetles, and crickets and other invertebrates, as well as earthworms. They can have a lot of affect on the communities of their prey.
They also act to aerate and turn soil where they live through their extensive tunneling activities, and their tunnels take in rain so the soil can absorb it.
They usually have two sets of tunnels. The deep ones are the home tunnels, where they rear their young. The more obvious shallow ones tend to be used only once, as they're 'mining' the soil for worms and insects.
The only way I've actually known people to chase them away is by putting cat poop down the tunnels.

red crows flew from spine to chest and landed right on my half empty heart
paint smeared with sweat you kept painting
my face into a skull and cuts across my throat
broken records that hold your voice
my name and repetition
trembling knuckles interlocked with mine
you sleep and dream of my orange wings

dying storms, and lost herself in
the blind spots accompanying her
every furtive glance
her downturned spine labeled her:
and her relentless divulging to
overcast skies defined her as
needy; but still she offered the
seeds of her pomegranate heart
to anyone willing to settle down
inside the breeze
and she was abandoned, long ago,
(once upon a time, no one cried)
by wolves with insipid fangs
and human eyes (her glittery irises
never quite belonged)
they discarded her when she asked if
self-delusions were a state of mind
she is poorly veiled, so see-through under
our cracked gaze; you can watch her
heart beat and her thoughts spin
(and you can watch her when she
invites death in)
she's a glass asylum, they breathe
in dampened sighs-
and when she shatters to a thousand
pieces, she only smiles
because love would do the same
The Art of Detachmentdehumanized:The Art of Detachment2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I am a stirring in the breath
of an unswept sky, an itch
in the throat, a tear in
the lining of the sleeve you
keep fingering- like reminiscence
will repair loose strands
(I woke up this morning
in a new carcass, trapped,
by fleshed out flaws and
dismal dreams and the
hush hush thrum ,steady,
[pulsations are riddled with
intent] of my veins)
I am the dents in the floorboard
where boxes of I-can-never-forgets
lay, I am the aching cold of walls
untouched, I am the callouses
of your fingers forgetting
how to work.
(my voice will melt the icecaps,
it will draw all salt from
the ocean and carve a careful
coffin of carnal desires)
I am a cry cut short
in the home of the deaf-
I am skin, I am loose
sinew and sincerities mistakenly
stitched to the bones of a crow
and when the night clears I am
nothing but doll eyelashes and
spider legs, [at the end of the day
the two are indistinguishable]
I am nothing

we're not together anymore
but the way my stomach
undulates its tides
tells me i'm worrying as much
as your mother.
in a month,
you aren't home but you can
be touched-
i am trembling like autumn's last leaf
while caught in the interim.
i have two hearts in my hands,
frozen as your late january ponds
in fear of holding too close.
i tell boys at parties
that i'm very good
at not breaking things-
i lie.
i will hold onto drunken cups,
vodka and glass,
but i drop hearts-
yours, his, my own-
like water in fingers.
seeing you again
will stir up oceans,
send floods over the levees
i will weather the storm
unfurl my legs
and finally know
where i stand.
Romance in MetaphorAs we sat in silence, child small,Romance in Metaphor2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
we made shadow puppets on the wall;
and with our right hands, fingers arched,
good lord! We made a heart.
But as soon as our fingers touched,
as though preconceived, all at once,
our hands gave a jerking start;
and we each tore it half apart.
So many times it's come undone
and I've fought for love and hardly won,
but it's never, ever been much fun,
at least not half as much as breaking fingers
on a wall,
sitting in a silent hallway,
waving candles,
child small.

while the sun sleeps deep below the mountains,
sit with me among my mahogany four-posts
draped in nets and fairy lights that cast
pink and green and orange
over our tired eyes and tied-up tongues.
let the glow of your cigarette reflect in my irises,
let the netting protect & shield us
from anything and everything out there.
hold my hand when I get scared,
over thunder crashes and lightning flickers
and can you feel my blood
pulsing through my skin and into yours?
can you feel the gentle dips of the quilt
dotted with free-flying swallows in a myriad of pastel tones
as they rub against your shifting thighs?
my paper lips that split and bleed for you.
my cardboard vocal cords that rasp out love for you,
my eyes that lost their twinkle to put the stars in the sky for you?
my nervous palms with deep love lines and a desperation to be held.
your gentle inhalations curl love around your throat
and lungs, and my exhalations help to keep me sane.
ThawPart of me evaporatedThaw2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
in big sky country.
Scattered in all directions,
easily startled by the naked wild.
Blue mountains sprung from rolling hills,
too far away to save it
from becoming the rain.
Past the peaks, past the desert,
sailing the vortex of trees
in which my own heartland
could so easily drown,
the bedrock smashed our bow.
We became as deadwood
on the Beaver State rapids.
You built the strangest vessels
from my creaking words, and
I tried so hard to steer them
towards the sand.
But I am no captain.
What I took for conversation
was nothing but splinters
riding glacier-back, returning
to the valley of death and rebirth.
What I took for love was real,
but nothing real ever lives
past the melting point.
Sestina for VirgoOur dearest queen alights there, proud Virgo.Sestina for Virgo2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Smiling upon us, our sweet mother
Protects us from the world of shedded blood
She looks with sad eyes to the sparkling stars,
Glittering fortune-tellers that court the moon
She cries them tears of broken emerald.
Outside her men battle with bodies of brittle emerald
That crack and crumble despite our revered Virgo.
They kill by the sun and cry by the moon.
Men call out for the embrace of their jaded mother
In desperate hope they join their hands and pray to the stars
For the next day will surely reveal their blood.
Sweet flowers will grow from soldier's spilled blood
With lilac petals that sprout from emerald
Stalks. They reach in earnest to the spiteful stars
To beg for answers for our cherished mother.
The stars in turn jeer our precious Virgo
Who sits and shrieks by a bone-marrow moon.
Space leaks her blank tears on the moon
Who fortells of our kind queen's curse of blood
That stains hands. People in the streets cry "Mother!

A simple enough concept:
wait for the twilight hours
stay alert for twinkling yellow
then, give chase.
The problem was my aim
(or rather, my lack thereof.
Plus, I didn't really like bugs
I never caught any. And yet,
the jar overflows with
childish peals of laughter
cricket chirps
summer air, ever-blowing
kicked-up dirt
wisps of evening cloud
and the light from the stars.
If I look at that jar from
just the right angle,
I can still see it alight with angel glow:
the bright, twinkling
of firefly light.

Another year that went by so terribly fast. And as much as I am against posting journals that are too personal (especially on the internet, since you never know who is gonna read them), these end-of-year overviews kinda became a tradition. The 2011 and 2012 versions were great to look back at. Even now. So I can see what kind of shit occupied my mind back then. And even now some events of the past still manage to inspire me to a certain level.

Legs crossed and still, her fingers tap a tango of a tale, clack like mysterious heels down a hallway. She is enrapturing and I wish to say mine but I am hers.

Others would go to her with their problems, seeking unbiased advice from that quiet girl whom they could trust. This girl was the one who could light up a dark room with her laugh or a smile.

Chesapeake Shipbuilding has launched the brand new tugboat Quantico Creek. The Quantico Creek is the fourth of six tugboats that Chesapeake is building for Vane Brothers of Baltimore, Md. The launching went perfectly and the tug will now go into its outfitting stages where it will be completed for an on time delivery. The day before the launching, the Quantico Creek was moved from its indoor fabrication facility to the launch ways. Due to the favorable indoor climate, more work was completed before the move and launch than on any vessel previously built by Chesapeake.
The launching comes just a few weeks after the Charles Burton, the third of six tugs that Chesapeake is building for Vane Brothers, was delivered. All six tugs are 94 feet long and 32 feet wide. They are equipped with a single drum hydraulic winch from JonRie of N.J. and twin Caterpillar 3512 main engines capable of producing a combined 3,000 hp.

shufeldti, which occur with E. lyricus along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the southeastern U.S. Juveniles were captured from early June to early November. Spawning occurs from May–August, with most in July and August. No larval E. lyricus were captured in tidepools.
No previous investigations of estuarine ichthyoplankton have reported or described larval E. lyricus, perhaps due to misidentification of E. lyricus as Gobionellus. Juvenile E. lyricus consumed sediment along with associated meiofauna, microalgae, and detritus.
Diatoms and detrital aggregates dominated the diet.",

Who will make progress on the road to France 2016?
Northern Ireland to avoid Sunday blues
From a British point of view, Northern Ireland have been the revelation of the first four matches in qualifying for Euro 2016 and they have a golden chance to push their chances of a place in the finals by beating Finland in Belfast on Sunday.
A narrow defeat in Scotland in a midweek friendly should not have dented their confidence and though it's the first ever full international Northern Ireland have ever played at home on a Sunday, the atmosphere should inspire...

When parents, teachers, lawmakers and communities debate over which part of the American education system should receive the most scrutiny or support, adult education, specifically General Educational Development (GED), is rarely in contention. Conceptually adult education programs serve those who depart school without diplomas and are now seeking a credential to access the workforce or postsecondary opportunities.
Recent Articles
Over the past couple of years the censoring of self-expression has been a hot topic on many campuses. Recently the media washed ashore a new wave of controversy concerning Hampton University's business school policy that restricts MBA students from wearing their hair in locs (or what is more commonly referred to as "Dread-locs"). This comes on the heels of the brouhaha that developed following the implementation of a written dress code policy at Morehouse College.
In recent years the higher education community has focused more on the role institutions' play in student success. For a long time the blame for failure has been laid squarely at the feet of students. If a student dropped out of college it was assumed that they were unmotivated, under-prepared, or lacked the aptitude required to be a college graduate. The fact that dropouts were admitted meant that they somehow fell through an admissions crack undetected.
Asian-American groups urge Supreme Court to bar race-conscious admissions, renewing debate over the impact of such policies.
New study -- in challenge to a 2007 finding -- says black graduates of historically black colleges fare better in their careers than do those who earn degrees from other institutions.
Jennifer Braly, a transgendered student who is a junior at U. of Arkansas-Fort Smith, is now allowed to use female restrooms. Advocates say colleges have been too slow to accommodate such students.
An underground group at Biola U. goes public with fliers and a website. The university removes the fliers but also issues a new statement on human sexuality.
Nondiscrimination policies like Vanderbilt University's that define who can lead student groups are evidence less of a campus "war on God" than of the tyranny of "inclusion," writes Louis Betty.
Should college faculties ever vote to take collective stands on political issues? A debate at William Mitchell raises the question.
Nearly 30 percent of the operating budget of the Teaching Academy at New Mexico State University comes from money donated by faculty members.
Supreme Court will decide on whether less expensive, foreign-made editions of textbooks can be lawfully sold to thrifty U.S. students.
The longer students are in college, the less likely they are to be interested in promoting understanding across lines of race and ethnicity, study finds.
North Carolina colleges have emerged as centers of dissent as the state debates a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages and unions.

More Government
I expect that by the time you read this, President Obama will have been re-elected. Get ready for four more years of Big Bloated Government.
Hurricane Sandy didn't help.
The New York Times declared "a big storm requires big government," and my liberal neighbors agreed.
My science-challenged mayor, Michael Bloomberg, said the storm makes it imperative that America do something about climate change. He said this even though hurricanes have not increased and little evidence exists that man has much effect on climate. With Obama's re-election, we now will spend billions more on "green" strategies. But the Earth won't notice.
Other politicians say Sandy proves we need a powerful federal emergency management agency. So I invited the man who: should: be president, Rep. Ron Paul, to come on my show to give a sensible perspective.
Paul said, "We handled floods and disasters for 204 years before we had FEMA, and states and volunteers and local communities did quite well."
Paul's congressional district is on the Gulf Coast, so he knows what he's talking about. "What we should have is real insurance," he said.
Real insurance means private: companies make bets about floods with their own money. But America has little of that.
I know this first-hand. I built a beach house because government encouraged me to take the risk. Private insurance companies wouldn't insure most of us who built on the edges of oceans, and those that did charged high prices. "Too high," said Congress, "so government must insure everyone!" They said they'd price it so taxpayers wouldn't lose — but as usual, they were wrong. Even before: Sandy, federal flood insurance was $18 billion in the red.
And worse, cheap insurance encouraged more people to build on the beach. This is an absurd subsidy that should immediately be abolished.
But I fear I won't have much success convincing people. In "No, They Can't: Why Government Fails — But Individuals Succeed" (tinyurl.com/acdoq7h), I explain how instinct leads us to assume that experts in Washington have the best tools to manage big risks. Most Americans believe that. Even Fox News anchors told me that "flood insurance is a role for the federal government!"
Viewers were angrier. One civil comment: "Libertarian is good on paper, but not in real life. Why would the Govt. turns its back when its people suffer?"
Because government causes suffering.
As Paul put it, "Rich people get insurance subsidized by poor people, build on beaches. … Their houses get washed away, and poor people pay to rebuild. … It's a reason we're totally bankrupt."
Yes, it is. My house eventually washed away, and you paid. That's wrong.
Federal emergency management fails, too. After Hurricane Hugo, Sen. Ernest Hollins called FEMA "bureaucratic jackasses that should just get the hell out of the way."
So politicians promised they'd improve FEMA. But three years later, after Hurricane Andrew, Sen. Barbara Mikulski said, "Government's response to Andrew was seen by many hurricane victims as a disaster itself."
Again, the bureaucrats said they'd fix it. Then came Katrina. Almost 2,000 people died.
FEMA even got in the way of rescue efforts. Wal-Mart offered flood victims three trailer trucks filled with water. FEMA turned them away. It prevented the Coast Guard from delivering fuel. It shipped 91,000 tons of ice for Louisiana hurricane victims to Maine and Arizona.
FEMA got better reviews this month, but the jury is still out. Let's see what reporters reveal in the coming weeks. Even brilliant government bureaucracies become incompetent over time, because everyone must follow the mind-numbing rules.
Economist Steven Horwitz researched prior disasters and says, "Firms like Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Marriott and McDonald's were major forces for good in getting resources to people in very desperate times, (but) FEMA was an absolute disaster. FEMA did not get into New Orleans in some cases for a week or 10 days."
No one says Wal-Mart should replace local police and firefighters. But local assistance is better. And each Wal-Mart store manager knows his neighborhood's needs. "FEMA is situated in Washington," said Horwitz. "It does not understand as well the needs of local communities."

Holy shit
This is my fav sepultura song, you nailed it perfectly although the vocals are too cookie monster-ish. Otherwise fucking awesome.
thanks! I'm sorry my vox are a bit different!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Tribute to Sepultura. I love it
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
fuck yea
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
First of all, I would like to say that the guitars are great.They're extremely tight and in time with the drums.You pretty much got the song down note per note.However, I do have some minor issues.Well, I think the overheads could have mixed better.They're just too bright / trebly.
And another thing, the rhythm guitars are a little on the muddy side.From the sounds of it, it sounds like you're using an Alnico pickup.Other than that, your cover is flawless.
Nice job dude.
Yeah, the guitar tone is a little muddy but I want to redo it and make it a little bit more tighter on that part. Thanks for listening! Oh I am using EMGS its just the fact that guitar is tuned low with some super slinks 10's. Thicker gauge strings would help make it sound less muddy.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Yes. I would have to say your production capability is absolutely insanely professional. It sounds really clear without loosing an inch of brutality. Now you're making me wish I had stayed with Sepultura longer. :)
I'd love to do I collab with you.
I'll send you some ideas, and see what you think!
Keep it up!

Thanks man! hit me up with whatever man I am game !

It's All About Jobs, Except When It's Not
A look at the connection between the rise and fall of joblessness and the political fortunes of past presidents in the modern era is instructive although the lessons to be drawn are far from crystal clear. Thus far, only Ronald Reagan's ratings in his first term have borne as close a connection as have Obama's to changes in the unemployment rate.
Michelle Obama's Strong Personal Image
The first lady is more popular than either her husband or her two immediate predecessors.
Millennials' Judgments About Recent Trends Not So Different
Opinions of older adults tend to differ more from the other age groups than the views of those of the youngest generation when it comes to embracing technological advances and societal change. Two issues, the acceptance of homosexuality and tattoos, create especially large generational gaps.
Obama's 2010 Challenge: Wake Up Liberals, Calm Down Independents
His approval has slipped, but is not much different from where Reagan stood at this point in his term. But the public's conservative shift could be trouble for the president.
Where the Public Stands on Immigration Reform
Polling has found significant support for both tougher enforcement and the so-called "path to citizenship," but several factors suggest that a new push for reform could be a difficult one.
Public Divided Over Afghan Troop Requests, But Still Sees Rationale for War
As Obama weighs difficult choices in Afghanistan, the public also appears to be finding it difficult to judge the merits of different options for expanding, maintaining or contracting the U.S. effort on that front.
Searching For Clues in the Global Warming Puzzle
Why do fewer Americans believe the earth is warming? A range of possibilities, including a sour economy and, perhaps, a cooler than normal summer in parts of the U.S., may provide an explanation.
But What Do the Polls Show?
Perhaps the best way to think about public opinion and its relationship to politics and policymaking is that the American public is typically short on facts, but often long on judgment.
Obama's Nobel Prize
News that President Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize is another sign of his international appeal, as his election effectively turned around America's negative image in many countries.
Obama's Approval Ratings Slide: By the Numbers
In April, 62% of the public approved of Barack Obama's performance as president, but in August, just four months later, 52% approved. Obama's approval rating has declined across nearly all major demographic and political groups.
