World's largest general scientific society issues blunt call for climate action
by Joe Romm
The public has been misinformed by a colossal disinformation campaign. Scientists must speak out strongly & often because the subject is too important to leave to the disinformers.
The world's largest general scientific society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has issued an uncharacteristically blunt call to action on climate change. The must-read new report by the AAAS's Climate Science Panel, What We Know has several simple messages...In essence, we are as certain that humans are responsible for most recent climate change as we are that cigarettes kill.
Climate scientists agree: climate change is happening here and now.
Based on well-established evidence, about 97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening. The science linking human activities to climate change is analogous to the science linking smoking to lung and cardiovascular diseases. Physicians, cardiovascular scientists, public health experts and others all agree smoking causes cancer. And this consensus among the health community has convinced most Americans that the health risks from smoking are real. A similar consensus now exists among climate scientists, a consensus that maintains climate change is happening, and human activity is the cause.
What kind of change is already happening?
Average global temperature has increased by about 1.4ºF over the last 100 years. Sea level is rising. Some types of extreme events — such as heat waves and heavy precipitation events -– are happening more frequently. Recent scientific findings indicate that climate change is likely responsible for the increase in the intensity of many of these events in recent years.
What is the danger of continued inaction?
We are at risk of pushing our climate system toward abrupt, unpredictable, and potentially irreversible changes with highly damaging impacts. We can think of this as sudden climate brake and steering failure where the problem and its consequences are no longer something we can control. In climate terms, abrupt change means change occurring over periods as short as decades or even years"
Why must we act now?
The sooner we act, the lower the risk and cost. And there is much we can do. Waiting to take action will inevitably increase costs, escalate risk, and foreclose options to address the risk. The CO2 we produce accumulates in Earth's atmosphere for decades, centuries, and longer. It is not like pollution from smog or wastes in our lakes and rivers, where levels respond quickly to the effects of targeted policies.
When asked why the AAAS felt the need for providing the public and policymakers yet another climate report, Dr. James McCarthy, Harvard professor and former AAAS President, said "The public has been misinformed by a colossal disinformation campaign." Therefore, scientists must speak out strongly and often because the subject is too important to leave to the disinformers:
"The risk concept — the risk of inaction — this is something that really hasn't been emphasized. And if you just think back 20 years or 10 years – what we imagined twenty years ago about loss of Artic sea ice – it was not thought to be anything that would be of concern in this century. Ten years later, roughly 2000, we knew that we were on a trajectory that couldn't be anticipated. Ten years ago that same era it was not thought that Greenland would be losing ice dramatically in the next few decades, but within a few years we realized that was wrong."
Too many climate reports fail to focus on what the risk of inaction is. Not this one. Dr. Robert Litterman, Senior Partner and Chairman of the Risk Committee at Kepos Capital, said:
"The issue in estimating the appropriate incentive is very much the risk. In other words, the expected outcomes have been the dominant determinant of what those estimates have been in the past. And I'm not sure they've adequately taken into account the potential for things to be worse than expected. You really do have to think about worst-case scenarios when you are thinking about risk management. When it's a risk management problem, thinking about worst-case scenarios is not alarmist — it's just part of the job. Those worst-case scenarios are part of what drives the price."
This is a key point, which has also been made by Harvard economist Martin Weitzman, who has explained that climate cost-benefit analyses are "unusually misleading," warning his colleagues that "we may be deluding ourselves and others."
In the case of climate change, the worst-case scenario is the end of modern civilization as we have come to know it, a post-2050 world that has a carrying capacity considerably below 9 billion people – and that continues to decline decade after decade. And yet this "worst-case scenario" is all but certain to be achieved if we merely continue on our business as usual path of climate inaction for a few more decades. That is why we must pay any price or bear any burden to avoid the worst-case.
Global warming has changed the pattern of precipitation worldwide.
Flooding in the northern half of the eastern U.S., Great Plains and over much of the Midwest has been increasing, especially over the last several decades. These regional flooding trends in the northeast and upper Midwest are linked to increases in extreme precipitation and are consistent with the global trends driven by climate change.
Areas such as the U.S. Southwest are witnessing more droughts.
These too are consistent with global climate change patterns projected by climate models as a consequence of rising CO2 levels.
Since 1950, heat waves worldwide have become longer and more frequent. The global area hit by extremely hot summertime temperatures has increased 50-fold, and the fingerprint of global warming has been firmly identified in these trends. In the U.S., new record high temperatures now regularly outnumber new record lows by a ratio of 2:1.
Climate change has amplified the threat of wildfires in many places.
In the western U.S., both the area burned by wildfires as well as the length of the fire season have increased substantially in recent decades. Earlier spring snowmelt and higher spring and summer temperatures contribute to this change. Climate change has increased the threat of "mega-fires" –- large fires that burn proportionately greater areas. Warming has also led to wildfires present in some regions where they have been absent in recent history.
Kudos to the AAAS for this report. They join the US National Academy of Sciences and the U.K. Royal Society in producing a new, highly readable climate report, though the AAAS has done a better job of bluntly laying out the risks.
Bottom line: If a generally staid, consensus-oriented body like the AAAS is alarmed, then we all should be. Climatologists, like other scientists, tend to be a stolid group. We are not given to theatrical rantings about falling skies. Most of us are far more comfortable in our laboratories or gathering data in the field than we are giving interviews to journalists or speaking before Congressional committees. Why then are climatologists speaking out about the dangers of global warming? Because virtually all of us are now convinced that global warming poses a clear and present danger to civilization.

[3]tag [4]Incest/TabooMom & I: A True Story Ch. 5 Mom & I: A True Story Ch. 5 by[5]Markson(c) Author's Note: Unlike many, or perhaps most, stories you may read on the net which state that they are true, this one really is. Only names, locations and minor details have been changed to protect those involved. * * * * * From time to time Anne said I should start dating girls of my own age. I wasn't interested because I wasn't looking for a serious relationship and Anne provided all the sex I needed. It was clear to me that my mother saw our relation as something that wouldn't last forever. After our conversation during the weekend at the log cabin I understood her reasons but refused to take any action in the way she suggested. One day when the subject was posed again I said, "It's OK, but the rule should apply to you as well. If you feel responsible for my situation then I feel like I'm preventing any opportunities for you as well." Anne thought about it for a while (she always liked to consider things carefully) she said, "All right, I don't see any problem. I think you understand the uniqueness of our relationship and you're prepared to face it." The idea that we could both have other partners was interesting to me since one of my favorite things with Anne was to hear her talk about her past sexual adventures. In the beginning she'd been reluctant to describe them but after a while she became very enthusiastic, telling me all the details. We didn't talk about the subject again for a long time. To avoid further problems with mom I started dating some girls but instead of being the normal pleasure for a kid in his early twenties, I found it much more of a burden. Among many dates, the furthest I got was a blowjob. Most of the times I spent with my friends in the bar, pretending to Anne that I was dating. * * * Nothing more happened until I was twenty-one and my sexual relationship with mom had been going for more than two years, we were invited to the wedding of one of her best friend's daughters. Mom and her friend had been schoolmates at high school. She was from a very rich family from a city five hundred miles north of where we lived. Being a wealthy family and having just one daughter they decided to give her an unforgettable wedding party. Mom and I went by car; it was an eight-hour drive and Anne and I shared the driving. We left on Friday, very early in the morning, planning to be there by one PM, and arrived roughly on time. It wasn't a house but almost a castle! Crowning a small hill, the property was set in several acres and had an astounding view of the neighboring city. Facing the house there was a huge lawn where a group of people were assembling several large tents. On a level below was a large, oval-shaped swimming pool, with a series of tall Greek columns on one side that hid changing rooms built in white marble. The family had booked a complete hotel in the neighborhood, hired the staff of a beauty parlor with their outfits to serve the guests, and several buses to ferry people back and forth to the house. Because Anne was the bride's mother's best friend they put her in one of the guest rooms in the house whilst I was in the hotel. It was no big deal, as it was just two nights so I was OK with the arrangements and anyway, I was tired from the drive and slept the whole of the Friday afternoon. In the evening there was a dinner for the family and their closest friends, which both Anne and I were invited to. The next day was the wedding. I wasn't used to getting dressed up so, feeling like a dog in a collar, I took the bus to the house. When I saw mom my jaw dropped open. She was only wearing light make up and her hair was simply styled, falling freely on her shoulders. Her dress was a sleeveless silk chemise, held up by thin shoulder straps. It was knee- length, dark green matching her eyes and slightly flared at the skirt. She wore a jacket, green as well, embroidered with tiny beads matching the color of the fabric. To add a final touch, she was wearing a set of pearl earrings and a collar. She was, at least at my eyes, the most beautiful woman at the party. After the ceremony the party began. A small orchestra was playing and a battalion of waiters was waiting on the tables in the marquee. I was sat at a table with people of my own age, whilst Anne was with the family. Most of the guests knew each other so, despite their attempts to include me in the conversation, I felt somewhat left out. The girl sitting beside me was quite interesting, though. She was a bit large for my tastes but attractive. She told me she had recently broken up with her boyfriend who was there with a new girl and seemed to be using me to send some sort of "I don't give a damn" message. To begin with I was afraid it might cause a scene but it seemed that the guy wasn't particularly interested in her so I became more at ease. After the wedding breakfast the young people and some older ones started dancing. I danced twice with the girl I'd been sitting next to then decided to check how the things were going with mom. I found her in the huge living room with several other people. Anne was sitting on a small couch with a man beside her. He was good-looking and a bit older than she was. They were involved in what seemed to be a deep conversation, mom looking at him with a friendly smile. I turned around and went back to where the young people were. Sitting there thinking about how the situation might possibly develop gave me a hard-on. After a while II went back to the living room and found mom alone. She immediatly noticed the look on my face. "What's wrong? Have you been drinking?" She put a hand in my forehead then took me by the hand. "Let's walk a little, it will be good to you." Who was that guy?" I asked as soon as we were out of earshot of other people. "It's the bride's godfather, he arrived this morning." "It seems you like him..." "Oh yes! He's a very fascinating person...." She was clearly embarrassed. "Are you interested in him?" "It's hard to say. He's nice but we just talked for a short while. But it was enough to notice he seemed interested in me." I was steering Anne along the path that led to the swimming pool. When we reached a secluded spot I grabbed mom and tried to kiss her. "Hey, what are you doing? Stop! If someone finds us there will be a big scandal!" "Just give me a kiss." She relented and we kissed passionately. I opened the zipper at the back of her skirt and put my hand inside. Instead of her usual pantyhose I felt the softness of her panties. "Have you changed you mind about wearing a garter belt?" I asked. "These are thigh-high stockings, they don't need a garter belt." "Let me see." I broke our embrace and stepped backwards. Anne looked around a last time checking that we were alone and lifted up the skirt, revealing her long legs clad in sheer stockings and small bikini panties. She was visibly surprised by my admiration for her beautiful legs and showed them off to me for a long time. When I held her again her protests were feeble. "I want you," I said urgently. "No!" "Let's go to your room." "No!" "C'mon, let's go, I need you. We can say I was a little drunk and you were taking care of me. What's wrong with that? And it's better than if I raise your skirt and fuck you right now..." "You wouldn't dare!" Anne said. I didn't answer, just pushed her against the wall a started to lift her skirt. I was on the verge of pulling them down when mom surrendered. "OK, let's go," she whispered. We walked slowly, me pretending to be drunk, and went up the long staircase to the first floor. At the end of the corridor it turned at right angles, her room at the far end. I removed my jacket and shoes and loosened my tie. "Lay on the bed, I'll be back soon," she said. It was a long time before she returned and I began to think she had changed her mind but eventually she came back holding a cup and a washcloth. "Take it, it's an effervescent antacid, remember you're drunk..." She locked the door and removed her dress, leaving her only in bra, panties and the thigh-high stockings. The bra was the type without shoulder straps. She lay down by my side. "You'd better take your clothes off," she said, "it wouldn't be good to show up later with them all wrinkled. I don't know who is the most foolish, you or me. I guess it's me that should have more common sense." I didn't answer, just kissed her on the lips and forced my tongue into her mouth. I removed her bra and panties, leaving her stockings on and started kissing her body. I kissed her breasts, paying special attention to her hard nipples, and slid slowly down in the direction of her lower belly. Anne was trying to choke back her groans and moving her torso while I worked with my tongue in her snatch. Lubricating my finger in her pussy, I inserted it into her rectum. Whilst I sucked and licked her pussy I worked my finger into her shithole. "Now I want you in me," she murmured. "Tell me what you want," I teased. "I want you to fuck me... I want to feel my pussy filled with your cock. All the way... right now!" I climbed on top of her, directing the tip of my prick at her pussy and pressed. With my dick deeply embedded in her body I took hold of mom and rolled over so she was on top of me. She started a sensuous movement with her hips and covered my mouth with hers in a passionate French kiss. I slid a hand over her back down to her ass cheeks and inserted a finger in her butt again. She stopped swaying and moaned heavily with the sudden invasion of her butt hole but then took up the pace once more. "Do you want to fuck that guy?" I asked her. She didn't answer and I probed her more deeply with my finger. "Tell me." "You want me to do that?" "Yes" "Then I'll do it." "And how would you do it?" "I don't know. Let me talk to him again. I don't think it would be difficult, he seems very interested. We just need to find a way..." "But you have to tell me everything. You promise?" I was too excited and even trying to keep myself back it didn't took to long to fill mom's womb with a load of warm jism. As soon as my dick softened I took it out and we lay side-by-side, still panting heavily. We stayed that way for a long time, listening to the distant sounds of the party. "Is there anything wrong?" I asked, feeling that there was something behind her silence. "I was thinking that you should be down there partying with the other young people and not here in bed with your own mother," she answered. I had faced this a couple of times before, mostly when there were young people around. "Listen Mom, I'm not interested in other girls. All they really want is to find a nice guy to marry. I don't want to waste my time with a relationship that doesn't mean anything to me. I've got the rest of my life to worry about things like that." She knew I was serious and didn't question me anymore. We dressed and went back downstairs to the party. I spotted mom's friend talking to some other people and she steered me to the front door. I was doing my best to pretend to be still a little drunk, walking slowly with glazed eyes until Mom put me in the bus back to the hotel It took me a long time to fall asleep, imagining Anne and her friend. I regretted my suggestion and even considered going back to the party but I didn't want to make mom even more concerned about our relationship. On one hand I was cursing the idea of nearly forcing mom to fuck another man. I was sure that she was agreeing partly to open up our relationship. On the other hand it was pretty exciting to imagine what she and him might be doing at that moment. Eventually I fell asleep and woke up late the next morning. I quickly dressed and rushed back to the house. Mom was sat in the garden at a table talking to her friend. When I approached mom asked if I was feeling OK now and her friend asked me to sit with them and have breakfast. I was dying to know what had happened the previous night but other people arrived and mom got involved in the conversation while my impatience increased with every second. Anne seemed so at ease, looking fresh as if she had had a quiet night's sleep. She was wearing a light, sleeveless cotton summer shirtdress. She hadn't put on any make up and her hair fell freely over her shoulders. After what seemed an endless time some of the people went back to their rooms to pack up and others decided to try the swimming pool. I was desperate to be alone with mom and was doing my best to disguise my bad mood. Mom's friend thought this was due to a hangover and came with the solution: "Anne, why don't you show Mark the observatory? He'll enjoy the view". At both ends of the large living room there were wooden staircases that led up to wide corridors. The south side was where the bedrooms were and the north one led to another staircase, much narrower than the other and ending in a door. Mom opened it and we entered a round, domed room. It was an astronomical observatory equipped with an old telescope. Astronomy was the hobby of my mom's friend's grandfather, the man who built the house at the start of the 20th century, but now the pollution and city lights made the telescope useless. Whilst I examined the instrument I asked mom, "So, how was it?" "It was all right," she answered, showing some embarrassment. I pretended not to notice. "You went to bed together?" She blushed and nodded. I came close and hugged her, kissing her lightly on the lips. "Hey, what is going on?" I said, "Remember our deal?" "Well... " She began reluctantly." When I got back to the party he was waiting for me. We talked for a while about ourselves and then he took hold of my hand and invited me to dance. While we were dancing he said he'd like to see me alone. I said that would be difficult since he was leaving in the morning. He said that when I went to bed I should put a piece of paper under my door so he didn't knock on the wrong one. We danced until the party finished around midnight. "I went back to my room, got undressed and waited for him. Soon there was a light knock on my door and opened it. He was delighted to find me naked! We had sex until dawn when he went back to his own room. He'd told me he needed to leave early in the morning and besides, it would be very embarrassing if someone had see him sneaking out of my room!" "And how was it?" I probed. "It was very good, he is a nice person..." "Did you both do everything?" "Yes, well... almost everything. When he tried to take me from behind it was very painful. He has one of the biggest and thickest dicks I've ever seen and we didn't have any Vaseline. After the first few strokes he felt was hurting me and gave up. As far as I remember that was the first time I couldn't take someone from behind. He is really huge! My butt is still stinging." I had such a strong erection my balls aching. I approached Mom and held her by the waist. "Are you angry with me?" she asked. "No, there's nothing wrong, I'm pretty excited." And I forced my pelvis against her belly. She smiled and we exchange a series of short kisses. When I tried to raise her skirt she protested. "Not here... Follow me." Opposing the tower door there was another one. We stepped in, it was dark but I could see a spiral staircase going upwards. There was a bolt, which mom drew back and we went up to a small balcony on the roof. "It's safe here, my friend and I used to come here to sunbathe naked she asked to have this bolt fitted so no one could surprise us in the buff," Anne explained. The west side faced the garden and the swimming pool. At the other side the ground sloped some ninety feet almost vertically to street level with an astounding view of a nearby city park. I came close to mom and immediately started unbuttoning her dress. Soon she was naked and we were exchanging passionate French kisses. I lowered my pants and without a care shoved my dick into her soaked pussy. We were both highly excited and it didn't take too long for me to fill her womb with a long sequence of spurts. After that Anne asked for a handkerchief. I didn't have one so she wiped her thighs, pussy and my dick with her own panties, which became so wet she couldn't put them back on. I slipped them in my pocket and we returned to the front lawn. To Be Continued...

Blonde hair and blue eyes doesn't mean we don't understand Rastafari,
Out of many one people we hail!
Don't look confused 'cause we're pale,
Our roots are planted firmly like our other brethren,
So, our coloring is a little different but we speak just like them,
We may speak brogue, french and chinese,
But patois tops the list of our heritage,
We know plenty about Jamaica and its wonderful anecdotes,
We even know how to cuss and tell hilarious jokes,
Don't let our appearance fool you,
We are not just transplants,
Jamaica is our home!
We know all the favourite haunts,
The Jamaican experience is forever entwined in our hearts,
We love Jamaica!
Our island love can never be torn apart.

Quick GuideUrinary Incontinence: Foods and Drinks That Make You Gotta Go
What are treatments for the chronically incontinent?
Although many people will improve their continence through medications, pelvic-muscle exercises, and bladder training, some will never achieve complete dryness. Sometimes treatment failures are due to concurrent use of other necessary medications, such as diuretics (water pills that increase urination), that actually can cause incontinence. Others may have dementia or other physical impairments that keep them from being able to perform pelvic-muscle exercises or retrain their bladders. Many will be cared for in long-term care facilities or at home. The following recommendations can help keep the chronically incontinent drier and reduce their cost of care:
- Scheduled toileting (timed voiding): Take people to the toilet every two to four hours or according to their toilet habits.
- Prompted voiding: Check for dryness and encourage use of the toilet.
- Improved access to toilets: Use equipment such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, and devices that raise the seating level of toilets to make toileting easier.
- Managing fluids and diet: Behavioral modifications can directly impact symptoms of OAB. These include eliminating dietary caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods (for those with urge incontinence) and encourage adequate fiber in the diet.
- Disposable absorbent garments: Use these to keep people dry.
What measures can be taken at home to prevent overactive bladder symptoms?
There are simple steps that can reduce symptoms of overactive bladder. For example, caffeine may exacerbate urinary urgency and it is potentially an irritant to the bladder. Eliminating caffeine intake can diminish some of the symptoms of overactive bladder.
Some experts suggest that avoidance of certain foods, such as chocolate, spicy foods, alcohol, carbonated beverages, and nuts, can be beneficial in preventing symptoms of overactive bladder. Others encourage increasing the amount of dietary fiber for people with overactive bladder. Limiting fluid intake can also help to reduce urinary frequency.
Excess weight can put more pressure on the bladder, causing urinary incontinence. Therefore, weight loss can also help with urinary incontinence in general.

I've read all the previous threads about coworker relationships. It's a polarizing issue, and I've generally fallen on the side of opposition of them.

He seems permanently stuck on the fence - what should I do?
7 months ago, I started a new job and immediately struck up a friendship with a co-worker of mine who had a girlfriend. I'll call him Derek. From day one, Derek and I realized we had an eerie amount in common. Our conversations were always electric and we never failed to make each other just cackle with laughter. Us having a fantastic time together at work was as far as it ever went, but that was enough. Looking back on it, I have to say that I was oblivious to how important he would become to me. I acknowledged that I was infatuated with him, but as that sometimes happens when you work with attractive people, I expected it to fizzle out in time and then we could get back to being friends. That didn't happen. [more inside]

Did You Know?
You have got strong symptoms of the fantods; your skin is so tight you can't shut your eyes without opening your mouth. Thus, American author Charles Frederick Briggs provides us with the oldest recorded use of fantods in 1839. Mark Twain used the word to refer to uneasiness or restlessness as shown by nervous movements-also known as the fidgets-in Huckleberry Finn: "They was all nice pictures, I reckon, but I didn't somehow seem to take to them, because … they always give me the fantods." The exact origin of fantod remains a mystery, but it may have arisen from English dialectal fantigue-a word (once used by Dickens) that refers to a state of great tension or excitement and may be a blend of fantastic and fatigue.
Origin and Etymology of fantod
perhaps alteration of English dialect fantique, fanteeg, perhaps blend of fantastic and fatigue

They claim to be 24 hours 7 days but they're not. I called for service last night and only received a call back the next morning. They charge $99 trip fee and the technician came over, looking at my water heater for about 3 min and told me there is a set of parts need to be replaced. They told me the part is $500+ and I refused to proceed. Then they said they can give discount and make it $300+. I still refuse but I'M FORCED TO PAY $99 for a ridiculous experience.
Basically what they are doing is to push you for an appointment first, and then give you an extremely high price(comparing to the actual cost) to make you feel you should pay that considering you will need to pay $99 trip fee anyway, you will be put into a dilemma and forced to pay at least $99 in the end with very very bad feeling to do so.
If you want to have your water heater fixed with decent price and experience, NEVER EVER USE THIS COMPANY! AFFORDABLE WATER HEATERS AND PLUMBING INC IS TOTALLY A SCAM COMPANY!

About treatment
After bladder cancer is found and staged, your doctor will talk to you about your treatment options. There is a lot for you to think about when choosing the best way to treat or manage your cancer. There may be more than one treatment to choose from. You may feel that you need to make a decision quickly. But give yourself time to absorb the information you have learned. Talk to your doctor. Look at the list of questions in the section "What are some questions I can ask my doctor about bladder cancer?" to get some ideas. Then add your own.
If time permits, you might want to get a second opinion about the best treatment option for you. Doing so can give you more information and help you feel better about the treatment plan you choose. You will want to weigh the benefits of each treatment against side effects and risks.
The main types of treatment for bladder cancer are:
Sometimes, more than one of type of treatment might be used. Surgery, alone or along with other treatments, is used in nearly all cases.
You might have different types of doctors on your treatment team. The types of doctors who treat bladder cancers include:
- Urologists: surgeons who treat diseases of the urinary system
- Radiation oncologists: doctors who treat cancer with radiation
- Medical oncologists: doctors who treat cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy
Other experts might be part of your treatment team as well, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and others. See Health Professionals Associated With Cancer Care for more on this.
Thinking about taking part in a clinical trial
Clinical trials are carefully controlled research studies that are done to get a closer look at promising new treatments or procedures. Clinical trials are one way to get state-of-the art cancer treatment. In some cases they may be the only way to get access to newer treatments. They are also the best way for doctors to learn better methods to treat cancer. Still, they are not right for everyone.
If you would like to learn more about clinical trials that might be right for you, start by asking your doctor if your clinic or hospital conducts clinical trials. You can also call our clinical trials matching service at 1-800-303-5691 for a list of studies that meet your medical needs, or see "Clinical Trials" to learn more.
Considering complementary and alternative methods
You may hear about alternative or complementary methods that your doctor hasn't mentioned to treat your cancer or relieve symptoms. These methods can include vitamins, herbs, and special diets, or other methods such as acupuncture or massage, to name a few.
Complementary methods refer to treatments that are used along with your regular medical care. Alternative treatments are used instead of a doctor's medical treatment. Although some of these methods might be helpful in relieving symptoms or helping you feel better, many have not been proven to work. Some might even be dangerous.
Be sure to talk to your cancer care team about any method you are thinking about using. They can help you learn what is known (or not known) about the method, which can help you make an informed decision. See Complementary and Alternative Medicine to learn more.
Help getting through cancer treatment
Your cancer care team will be your first source of information and support, but there are other resources for help when you need it. Hospital- or clinic-based support services are an important part of your care. These might include nursing or social work services, financial aid, nutritional advice, rehab, or spiritual help.
The American Cancer Society also has programs and services – including rides to treatment, lodging, support groups, and more – to help you get through treatment. Call our National Cancer Information Center at 1-800-227-2345 and speak with one of our trained specialists on call 24 hours a day, every day.

Revenge of the Electric Car
- Studio: Area23a

Critic Reviews

- Publication
- By date
In the end, Revenge of the Electric Car is a slick, enjoyable valentine to a retooling industry. This optimistic film lacks the outrage of the earlier work, but that's O.K. A movement needs its triumphs too.
Paine seems delighted to root for all three companies and essentially declares a three-way tie, which may be fine for the moment.
Lacks the urgency of "Who Killed the Electric Car?" But Paine's thorough knowledge of his subject, and engaging way with an interview, make the follow-up film a fun ride.
So Paine's 2006 doc has a happy sequel. His film is just as polished and good-looking as his first one, gives us a good look at automakers we like, and is entertaining. But the first film was charged with drama. "Revenge" is somewhat anticlimactically charged with a wall plug.
A curious thing about "Revenge" is that auto executives who might have been portrayed as villains in Paine's earlier documentary are likable characters here.
Oct 18, 2011Revenge of the Electric Car, which details the resurgence of interest in the mass production of the battery car, is sometimes too slick for its own good.
Given Paine's penchant for B-movie-sounding titles, let's hope he gets to make it a trilogy that concludes with The Electric Car Lives!
The resulting roller-coaster ride, well shot and sharply paced, is so friendly to the corporate types its predecessor targeted that Nissan is sponsoring screenings.
Mr. Paine's follow-up lacks the conspiratorial drama of its predecessor, which blamed the EV1's death on the oil industry and the auto industry, tied as they were to the future of the internal combustion engine. But his new documentary is fascinating in its own right.
Sleekly designed (Tim Robbins narrates) with excellent mileage, Revenge is a balm for beaten-down times. In lieu of a business case for ethics, it tells the story of that rare moment when the bottom line finally dovetails with the greater good.
Director-writer Chris Paine's upbeat follow-up to his controversial 2006 documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car" features a number of colorful industry leaders in addition to cameos by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jon Favreau.
The follow-up, Revenge of the Electric Car, arrives today and it's a lesser animal, more hopeful but also more complex and lacking the focused urgency of the original.

There isRundown of the electric car market but doesn't deliver anything new than what a casual observer of the trend doesn't already know. There is also a bitterness to the movie which feels like the personal opinion of the producer infecting the script. It may have scored higher but for the almost hatred shown for carlos the CEO of Nissan/Renault and for the suspiciously complete omission of the Toyota Prius. Not one mention. I am guessing since the film makers were not given access to Toyota and their EV developments that they would have their own 'Revenge' and not mention them. Childish and detracts from what film making should be about.… Full Review »

I am hoping to find someone to help me with finalizing my theme on http://www.pinktruth.com I get over 4,000 unique visitors per day, and would love to put a link/credit to you in the sidebar.
I've done most of the work, and now I'm just down to the picky little things that I can't figure out. Needs as of right now:
* Fix the links section to include bullets like the other items in the sidebar
* Increase the font size in the sidebar just a little bit
* Get one of the "recent comment" plugins to work the way I want it to
* Rearrange the items in the sidebar (without breaking it every time, like I do)
* Edit the comments section for each post so that the poster name is bold,with post time next to that; alternating colors every other comment to make them easier to differentiate
* Figure out why the plug-in Bannage breaks my entire blog
* Help me change Dan's Avatar Thingy plugin to reduce the size of the avatars. (Should be easy enough, but apparently what I've been doing isn't fixing it.)
Any takers? You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

As far as patient half-centuries go, Nick Compton's patient unbeaten knock against Mumbai A was hugely important for the determined 29-year-old, who looks to have done enough to be England's next opening batsman.
Compton had made a faltering start to England's tour of India, just when he needed to hit the ground running: after having made just one run in his first two innings, his 162-ball 64 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy allowed him to breath a big sigh of relief.
The Somerset man was given the nod ahead of Yorkshire's Joe Root in England's opening warm-up match, but fell for a three-ball duck, making his 214-minute second innings all the more valuable in the context of an uncertain selection push.
But arguably, Compton had already done more than enough to earn his place at the top of the England order before he had even left the country.
This is, of course, a man who plundered 1494 first-class runs at an average just agonisingly shy of 100 last season. A man who batted with almost unerring conviction and assurance throughout the course of the county campaign.
To take a rather blunt look at the Compton v Root debate, it can be pointed out that the former Middlesex batsman is eight years older than Root - who made 28 and 24 against Mumbai A - with three times as many first-class runs to his name.
Therein lies the dilemma for Andy Flower and Alastair Cook: to select a mature, experienced and seasoned campaigner with a huge weight of runs behind him, or a talented, very promising batsman who can also throw his handy off spin on the table.
Compton has reinvented himself to satisfy the demands of crease occupation and, as a fastidious technician, is more than capable of crafting significant innings in subcontinent conditions and offering a calm head in testing circumstances.
For all the acclaim of his achievements last season, it was not just the volume of runs that Compton managed early this season, but the fact that he made them at a time when every other batsman in the country was struggling - it was almost defiant in the face of near-universal woe for the county batsman.
Root, who excelled through age-group cricket and represents a player with exciting potential, should surely be trumped in this case by the ready-made package of Compton, who talks proudly about the value of 'knowing his own game'.
During Compton's 64 in the second innings against Mumbai A, the qualities for which he had been chosen and earmarked as the prime candidate to succeed Strauss were evident, in tough conditions and under the pressure of playing for his place in the side.
He was restrained when he had to be; aggressive when he was allowed to be; and disciplined and discerning throughout. Over the course of four hours he simply served to confirm that England were not wrong in putting their faith in him.
Flower and Cook had been looking for someone to come in and play in their own time, in their own way, and with unwavering belief in their own ability. Compton fits the bill more than anyone else in that respect, and now has to be given his chance.
Far beyond just having a solid backfoot game and an unshakeable confidence in the defensive technique he has slowly refined over the course of a long county career, Compton has the drive and the determination to make his shot at international cricket a successful one.
"You just have to stay true to your processes," he said in Mumbai. "Everyone has a couple of key things that keep them grounded and going ball after ball. The key is to try and stick to that. It's very easy to know what not to do when you come here.
"It's my first tour, I desperately want to do well but if you try too hard, if you try to force it, it can go the other way. You want to be ambitious, hungry and take your chance but at the same time you want to stay calm and composed. You have to maintain a balance and trust that you've played well over the year and can continue that here."
England play one more warm-up match - a four-day game against Haryana starting on Thursday, with the first Test beginning a week later - and Compton will be acutely aware of the fact that his place is still far from assured as things stand.
The possibility of Jonathan Trott being pushed up to open the batting with Cook - against his wishes, it must be said - continues to lurk in the background, but Flower has indicated that he would be loathe to tinker more than he has to.
What would have been music to Flower's ears, was the imperious 118 from Jonny Bairstow in the first innings against Mumbai A, which included 14 boundaries, and the 76 from Eoin Morgan.
While it was in the context of a tour warm-up match, the big knocks from numbers five and six provided reassurance for Flower and Cook, while Samit Patel also weighed in with 60 batting at number seven.
Bairstow played in England's last Test, at Lord's, making runs in both innings, but there has been recognition from both the tourists, and indeed India, that Patel is as accomplished a player of spin as Cook's side have in their ranks.
The competition for places in the England order is fierce, but the management are all too aware of the need for all the batsmen to be in good nick, with Ian Bell due to fly home for the birth of his first child after the first Test in Ahmedabad.
No one is suggesting with any certainty that England's batting options are overwhelmingly convincing, but one thing is for sure: there is nowhere better to learn about players' temperament and technique than on a tour of India.
Touring India was described as 'The final frontier' by Australia's all-conquering sides under Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting, but for some England players this is just the start.
What do you think England's line-up for the first Test in Ahmedabad should be? Post your thoughts and suggestions below...

It had only been a day since Theseus had left King Minos' castle. Ariadne, Minos' daughter, had given him a ball of blue wool after their night together. She said that it would guide him through the maze. Theseus reluctantly took it, slightly surprised by this mortal's empty mindedness. How was a ball of wool going to guide the demigod son of Poseidon through the cursed Labyrinth? It made no sense. At least, not to him.
So, with four mortal companions Theseus set out into the maze following her advice to keep on unrolling the ball of wool so the he could find his way back. One of his companions said to him," Theseus, don't get the feeling that we're being-" He was tackled and killed. By something like a bull. The Minotaur. Theseus and all of his companions drew their swords and stood back to back, trying to figure out from where the man-bull would strike next. From above. He came from above crushing all three of his friends leaving only Theseus and the Minotaur. The bull's hot breath smelled like a dead body, slowly rotting away. It charged right into where Theseus should have been except that he slid under the Minotaur and stabbed it with his sword. But that was not enough. Not even close.
It charged again this time catching him in his stomach sending him flying back. Theseus knew it would charge again. And it did. But this time he was prepared. Using his demigodly gift he willed any water in the area to rise and in a split second movement, commanded it hit the bull's face. For a while the Minotaur was blinded. This was his chance. He ran and cut off on of it's horns and stabbed it through the heart. First with the horn and then with his own sword. The Minotaur was gone. Now Theseus could command the Athenian armies to not only take over Sparta, but Crete as well.

BPCL, Videocon Mozambique gas find holds huge reserves
June 12, 2012
ET Bureau
MUMBAI: The gas-rich Rovuma Basin in Mozambique may hold close to 100 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas, said Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum , which operates the block, where India's Videocon and Bharat Petroleum Corp also hold stakes. ET reported on Monday that the reserves in Mozambique would be upgraded. "With this latest discovery at Atum and a successful upcoming appraisal programme, we believe the total estimated recoverable natural gas resource in Mozambique's Offshore Area 1 is between 30 and 60 tcf, and the current upside for total gas in place for the discovered reservoirs on the block is approaching 100 tcf. We still have additional exploration opportunities that could expand the resource potential further," according to a statement from Anadarko president and CEO Al Walker.

Deven Choksey: The earlier estimated numbers were between 7 to 20 TCF and that was just a little while back. This month again the news coming out is about 30 to 60 TCF. I am not too sure what is the exact numbers I should be believing.

ONGC finds 4 Tcf gas reserves off Daman
January 5, 2012
NEW DELHI: State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) has discovered about 4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas reserves off the Daman coast , which can produce 7 million cubic meters a day of gas in four years time. "ONGC has over past few years made several discoveries some 50-km off the Daman coast. These cluster together hold about 132 billion cubic meters (4 Tcf) of in-place reserves," a source close to the company said. The Daman cluster fields constitutes the B-12 North & B-12 South, C-26 and SD. The exploratory efforts and drilling in the area is continuing.
Reliance says KG-D6 cost lower than GSPC, ONGC projects
July 15, 2011
NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries has said its eastern offshore KG-D6 gas field development cost is much less than what Gujarat government company GSPC and state-owned ONGC are spending on projects in the vicinity of its KG basin find. Reliance had in 2004 proposed a USD 2.4 billion investment for producing 40 million cubic metres per day of gas from 5.32 trillion cubic feet of reserves in the D1/D3 fields of the KG-D6 block. Later, in 2006, it revised the capital expenditure requirement to USD 5.2 billion in Phase-I for producing a higher 80 mmscmd of gas from 11.3 tcf of reserves.
Oilex strikes gas reserves over 1.5 TCF in Gujarat
September 6, 2010
NEW DELHI: Astralia's Oilex Ltd on Monday said it has made huge natural gas discovery in Gujarat that may hold over 1.5 trillion cubic feet of recoverable reserves. Industry estimates put the total resource base or inplace reserves in the Cambay basin discoveries near the town of Khambat, 160-km south of Ahmedabad, at between 20-30 Trillion cubic feet, almost equivalent to inplace reserves of Reliance Industries' eastern offshore KG-D6 fields. However, KG-D6 fields have a higher recovery factor with almost 12 Tcf of gas likely to be produced over life of the field while in Oilex's case only 1.5 Tcf can be produced as the reservior is 'tight' with low permeability.

Currently, the leaderboard is skewed based upon how many games you have played. The better teams are teams that have played less games but win over 90% of them. With the rating list we would be able to see which team is really the best team.
Aparrently, not enought vote chess games are being played to give an accurate rating.
But, a ranking based on inaccurate rating is surely already better than one based on number of games played......
But better still, in my opinion, is to create a ladder system. If you beat a team higher up, you move up some, they move down some. The size of the movement determined by the relative positions on the ladder, I'm sure there are clever people out there who can devise an appropriate formula.
When I brought this up before, there were questions of where to fit current teams onto the ladder, well, we have to start somewhere, use the current ranking, it will soon sort itself out.
Obviously, new teams start at the bottom.
Is there any reason other than effort needed (Don't get me wrong, it's a very important reason. I don't want the staff having to do more than is already necessary) not to implement a rating system comparable to the one already in place for normal games?
Yes, apparently, see my post # 3.
Very few teams have enough games to give an accurate rating. Most vote chess teams probably have fewer than 5 completed games (this is a thumbsuck, I'm possibly wrong) so a Glicko rating would be very unreliable.
But still, can it possibly be more unreliable than the current system....?
Hah, didn't read that part correctly... Yeah, the ladder system looks good, just have to figure out an equation for how much you move per win/loss.
The winner moves up to the loser's former place. Challenging to a rated Vote Chess game should be restricted to be sent only to those teams within a limited amount of steps above the challenger in the ladder.
I don't know how multiple ongoing games issue would be addressed, though.

We could have the ladder positions start with the current positions on the leaderboard as they will change quickly.
Yeah, that is what rooperi said, but, as I understand a ladder system, there can be only one game in progress per player (team) at any given time.
