Although an abdominal ultrasound can be done to check for a number of conditions, it can be used to screen for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a weakened, bulging spot in your abdominal aorta, the artery that runs through the middle of your abdomen and supplies blood to the lower half of your body.
An abdominal ultrasound can also be used to check for other diseases that affect your kidneys, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
An abdominal ultrasound to screen for an abdominal aortic aneurysm is recommended for men ages 65 to 75 who are current or former cigarette smokers. Having an abdominal ultrasound to screen for an aortic aneurysm isn't specifically recommended for men who have never smoked, nor women, unless your doctor suspects you may have an aneurysm.
Abdominal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes your uterus through an incision in your lower abdomen. Your uterus — or womb — is where a baby grows if you're pregnant. A partial hysterectomy removes just the uterus, and a total hysterectomy removes the uterus and the cervix.
Sometimes a hysterectomy includes removal of one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes, a procedure called total hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy (sal-ping-go-o-of-uh-REK-tuh-me).
Hysterectomy can also be performed through an incision in the vagina (vaginal hysterectomy) or by a laparoscopic or robotic surgical approach — which uses long, thin instruments passed through small abdominal incisions. Abdominal hysterectomy may be recommended over other types of hysterectomy if you have a large uterus or if your doctor wants to check other pelvic organs for signs of disease.
Amniocentesis is a procedure in which amniotic fluid is removed from the uterus for testing or treatment. Amniotic fluid is the fluid that surrounds and protects a baby during pregnancy. This fluid contains fetal cells and various chemicals produced by the baby.
Amniocentesis can be done for various reasons:
Although amniocentesis can provide valuable information about your baby's health, the decision to pursue invasive diagnostic testing is serious. It's important to understand the risks of amniocentesis — and be prepared for the results.
The basal body temperature method - a fertility awareness-based method - is a type of natural family planning. Your basal body temperature is your temperature when you're fully at rest. Ovulation may cause a slight increase in basal body temperature.
You'll be most fertile during the two to three days before your temperature rises. By tracking your basal body temperature each day, you may be able to predict when you'll ovulate. In turn, this may help you determine when you're most likely to conceive.
If you're hoping to get pregnant, you can use the basal body temperature method to determine the best days to have sex. Similarly, if you're hoping to avoid pregnancy, you can use the basal body temperature method to help determine which days to avoid unprotected sex. Because the basal body temperature method alone doesn't provide enough warning time to effectively prevent pregnancy, it's generally used in combination with other fertility awareness-based methods if you're hoping to avoid pregnancy.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast — or breast MRI — is a test used to detect breast cancer and other abnormalities in the breast.
A breast MRI captures multiple images of your breast. Breast MRI images are combined, using a computer, to generate detailed pictures.
Breast MRI usually is performed after you have a biopsy that's positive for cancer, and your doctor needs more information about the extent of the disease. In certain situations, such as for women with high risk of breast cancer, breast MRI may be used with mammograms as a screening tool for detecting breast cancer.
A breast biopsy is a procedure to remove a small sample of breast tissue for laboratory testing. Breast biopsy is a way to evaluate a suspicious area in your breast to determine if it is breast cancer. There are several types of breast biopsy procedures.
A breast biopsy provides a sample of tissue that doctors use to identify and diagnose abnormalities in the cells that make up breast lumps or other unusual breast changes. And the lab report from the breast biopsy can help determine whether you need additional surgery or other treatment.
A breast self-exam for breast awareness is an inspection of your breasts that you do on your own. To help increase your breast awareness, you use your eyes and hands to observe the look and feel of your breasts.
If you notice new breast changes, discuss these with your doctor. Though most breast changes detected during a breast self-exam have benign causes, some changes may signal something serious, such as breast cancer.
Most medical organizations don't recommend routine breast self-exams as a part of breast cancer screening. That's because breast self-exams haven't been shown to be effective in detecting cancer or improving survival for women who have breast cancer.
Still, doctors believe there is value in women being familiar with their own breasts, so they understand what's normal and promptly report changes.
Cesarean delivery — also known as a C-section — is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through an incision in the mother's abdomen and a second incision in the mother's uterus.
A C-section might be planned ahead of time if you develop pregnancy complications or you've had a previous C-section and aren't considering vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Often, however, the need for a first-time C-section doesn't become obvious until labor is under way.
If you're pregnant, knowing what to expect during a C-section — both during the procedure and afterward — can help you prepare.
The cervical cap is a birth control (contraceptive) device that prevents sperm from entering the uterus. The cervical cap is a reusable, deep silicone cup that is inserted into the vagina and fits tightly over the cervix. The cervical cap is held in place by suction and has a strap to help with removal.
The cervical cap is effective at preventing pregnancy only when used with spermicide. Only one cervical cap — FemCap — has Food and Drug Administration approval in the U.S. It must be fitted and prescribed by a health care provider.
Cervical cerclage is a procedure in which sutures are used to close the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that opens to the vagina — during pregnancy to help prevent premature birth.
Cervical cerclage can be done through the vagina (transvaginal cervical cerclage) or through the abdomen (transabdominal cervical cerclage). Typically, the sutures are removed when a baby is considered full term — during week 37 of pregnancy. If necessary, the sutures can be removed earlier.
Your health care provider might recommend cervical cerclage if your cervix is at risk of opening before your baby is ready to be born or, in some cases, if your cervix begins to open too early. However, cervical cerclage isn't appropriate for everyone. It can cause serious side effects and doesn't always prevent premature birth. Understand the risks of cervical cerclage and whether the procedure might benefit you and your baby.

Did not use the garage

Very good service
its very good i got good service
Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.
New clutch, one new tyre and a few other little bits, highly recommend, good service and kept me updated throughout
Alex was friendly and informative, I would recommend this garage. My car was fixed within 24 hours which was great and as an extra bonus i was also provided a courtesy car which was very handy. This garage will be my go-to garage from now. Thank you very much.
absolutely superb service from Alex. highly recommended and i will continue to use for all my cars. the guy was very honest and fair and treated us better then most main dealers. Southgate motor engineering is a example to how all garages should do business.customer for life

Absolutely brilliant service. Quoted and delivered work faster than expected. Would definitely recommend.
great job
Had some extra work done
They did a great job and it was all done very quickly. I'd certainly go back.
Great, final bill ended up being less than what was quoted!
Excellent customer service
Experienced garage who dealt with a number of separate issues very well, including ordering in specialist parts. Returning to find the car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. 8 stars rather than 10 purely for the fact that I was informed they would need to keep the car overnight and it was only when I put my foot down that the job was finished on the day. Normally I'd accept that but I had dropped the car off at 7am so clearly had hoped to be first in the queue!
Very good on the whole, the mechanic was able to fix the problem within half an hour. Branko very helpful and honest. Will definitely go again. They are a little pricey compared to the other estimates I received but you are guaranteed a very top service.
They were great, really nice people, very quick, would use again.
Very happy with service, done a decent job, would use again.
Pleased with the work done, would use again.

Interview: CockNBullKid Matures into Adulthood
I'm pretty pumped for CockNBullKid to release her debut album. I mean, it's only been 27+ months since I first started loving up on her tunes, so with much awaited and baited breath, I've been patient for the freshman full length. Adulthood will see daylight in February of the impending year [read = not soon enough] but we've waited this long, and what's a few more months to hold out for what will surely be a major player in my repertoire. To get ready and get amped for what's to come, chats are in order, and it's Beaston vs Bull in this installment.
CockNBullKid is currently on tour with Marina & the Diamonds and Kele. She's covered tracks by both artists, which you can grab for free here and here respectively. Also be sure to check out her cover of Rui de Silva's Touch Me over on her 'Space. Loving that. Even better, watch CNBK and Gonzales (her album collaborator and producer) doing a live cover of Destiny's Child Bills, Bills, Bills here. Most amazing!
SB: Describe CocknBullKid. I know it's your music moniker, but if you had to classify that term/phrase as a noun, or a genre of music, what would the definition of it be?
CNBK: Crying till you laugh and laughing till you cry.
SB: Talk about your earliest influences in the musical world. Did you grow up playing instruments, listening to mom and dad's old records, or what sparked the notion that "hey I think I need to be making music."
CNBK: It sounds cliche but as long as I can remember I have been into music. My parents don't own a musical bone in their bodies so I'm really not sure. My dad played loads of records round the house, so that probably had some influence. I also went to pentecostal church with my Mum and younger brother. Music was a big part of that. Asides from that, I have harboured this ambition to be a singer and a writer.
SB: Over the past 2 years, a good deal of buzz has started to flow throughout blogs and online publications about your music. What's your response to the good dose of praise that you've been given for the material already out there?
CNBK: For every gushing review there's one saying your hair is shit or whatever. I try not to take it too seriously. I don't want to sound ungrateful to the people who have supported me though. I'm not really famous yet so I haven't read anything too bad or hyperbolic yet. But let's see what I say this time next year!
SB: Your debut album is coming out in February 2011. Talk about the process...writing, recording, working with Gonzales, etc.... it's been over two years since you first came out with initial cut On My Own, so how has the music evolved from then til now with the new material on the disc?
CNBK: I feel my writing has come a long since I first released On My Own in 2007. I always wanted to do something bigger, the album is quite unashamed and I'm proud of that. I got to work with great people like Gonzales who I clicked with immediately. He helped me to get back my focus for writing lyrics. I worked with Peter from Peter Bjorn and John- the Scandic have a great sense of humour so I hope that came across in the songs we did together. The album has taken a while and at times it was hard but it was never dull. Liam Howe ended up doing the production on most of the tracks. He is a big kid trapped in a mans body. We also clicked really quickly and he's very easy to work with.
SB: What happens next? More writing, recording, performing, etc...
CNBK: The warm up single One Eye Closed is out in the UK on Nov 8, then I go on a nation wide tour with Marina and the Diamonds. Then I do a few dates supporting Kele Okereke. Next single will be out after that then the album in Feb.
SB: Quick questions: please pick one of the two options of eac
David Bowie or Giorgio Moroder
Basquiat or Warhol
Steak or Shrimp
NYC, London or Paris
Dying to go to NY, I just know I will love it. But for now gonna stay patriotic and say London.
8-Bit or Vocoder
ABBA or Adriano Celentano
Abba! Obv.
Lady Gaga or Coco Chanel
Damn, love them both but I'll say Coco Chanel.
Spring or Fall
High Fives or Thumbs Up
High Fives
Computer or TV
Radio or Record Player
Record Player
Champagne or Shots
Champagne schweedie.

My brother has been to quite a few LSU/Bama games in Baton Rouge and is always impressed with the atmosphere but he said Saturday night was at an amazing level.
The further we get away from the loss on Saturday night, the more I come to realize that winning or losing that game really didn't matter all that much. I'm not saying it was a moral victory by any means, I'm saying that Saturday was more than a game. Nobody gave LSU a chance and we shut people up and the fans absolutely loved it. Everything good about LSU was on display, I don't see how any recruit wouldn't want to play here.
I was surprised that there were not as many bama fans as normal. We had way more in Tuscaloosa last year. Not sure why they didnt show.
I went to the mucho-hyped "Game of the Century" last year in Tuscaloosa, and the crowd noise and game atmosphere didn't come close to last Saturday night in Baton Rouge.
I was surprised that there were not as many bama fans as normal. We had way more in Tuscaloosa last year.

New York, July 16, 2008—The Committee to Protect Journalists is encouraged by the decision of Spanish authorities to reactivate the investigation into the 2004 murder of Antena 3 correspondent Ricardo Ortega, who was fatally shot in Haiti while covering the ouster of former President Jean Bertrand Aristide. As part of this process, CPJ European consultant Borja Bergareche was one of several journalists who briefed Judge Pablo Ruz of the Central Criminal Court in Madrid on CPJ's research into the case.
Préval pledges justice in murders of Haitian journalists
New York, September 27, 2007—Haitian President René Préval has pledged support for an independent committee evaluating stalled investigations into a series of unsolved journalist murders this decade and said that all political obstacles to justice have now been removed.
Reports | Argentina, France, Haiti, Mexico
Under Haiti's new transitional government, journalists-especially those who supported former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide-remain at risk in a politically polarized environment.
By Carlos Lauria and Jean-Roland Chery
Nearly five months after the ouster of President Jean Bertrand Aristide, journalists in Haiti still confront great dangers in a country marked by lawlessness. Before the unrest began in September 2003, journalists working for private radio stations were often targeted for their anti-Aristide coverage. But the nature of the threat has shifted, with journalists who supported Aristide now at particular risk, an investigation by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has found.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

The Fountain of Youth / Unstopable Adenturers
Maybe it's just as well the fountain filled agua just makes you 'feel' 20 years younger and not really does it. Seems to me the Panama Panther takes a real man to handle her. The trimmed beard looks great and certainly fits you well. As I write this your nephews are on the first leg of their journey to Tennessee and I am so excited. I want to make it a fun stay for them and have lots of options (their choices) to make it so. Keep these blogs coming and we will be checking daily for them. A boy up the road lost his dog yesterday and we searched for him, but no luck. It's strange how our dreams help us work through things. The boy on the donkey may have thought that both of you were from outer space in all of your gear. Just glad that all survived the encounter. You are in my thoughts and prayers throughout my daytime and my sleep time.
Love you both!
Gilligan's Island... Nica style!
Loading Map
The border crossing was fine. As long as you are patient and remember that it will take the time it takes, it is not that bad. It's easier as well since we've now been there before and kind of know where to go and what to do. Also I have the better end of the deal here because everyone wants to come up and talk to me about the bike so I'm not as bored or busy as Jess tends to be at these crossings.
We only had a short ride from the border to the little port town of San Jorge where we were catching the ferry to Ometepe in the middle of Lake Nicaragua (just like the old man from Niely suggested!) The ferry was tiny, but fast, so we were on the island in about an hour from departing the mainland
OK, so from afar this island looks a little bit like "The Island" ( you Lost fans out there know what I'm taking about!) There are two volcanoes towering over emerald green jungle and strange animals running around everywhere...the volcanoes grew so large that they connected with each other along a narrow isthmus. Well...the animals are not that strange..mostly pigs, chickens, cows, and of course dogs. No polar bears or black smoke monsters but still!! People are poorer here, most houses are made out of wooden planks and black plastic sheets, they walk or travel by horse/donkeys most of the time. The road to our hotel was a really cool dirt/mud road and as soon as we got there we saw what we have been waiting for this whole trip...yes, monkeys!!!! Finally!!! There were four monkeys outside of our hotel including a baby one that was super squirrelly and whose mother needed to reprimand often!
This hotel is a little gem, we have our own cool bungalow equipped with a fridge and a hammock...what else do you need?? We spent today riding around the island checking out the locals as well as the flora and fauna. We found an "ojo de agua" on the way where we soaked up the sun and relaxed for a bit! I am so glad we took the old man's advice and went here...it has been a great little side trip for us.
Ok, Jess here....the ojo de agua is a volcanic mineral spring that the guy at the gate told us was the only fountain of youth in the world, and that it would make us feel 30 years younger. He was so convincing that it made me a bit worried...if his sales pitch held out, that would make me a 5 year old stuck with puny 1 year old for a wife!!!...I was hoping he was exaggerating...there's no way a kindergartner could navigate the Panama Prowler (the bike, submitted via blog comment previously by gschowe) back to Los Estados Unidos safely...anyhow, the place was wonderful...I packed a bunch of mud on my trench-foot feet and hoped for a better aroma in the days to come (for Malin's sake)
Yesterday, I'm sad to say, we had our first run in with an animal...at about 30 miles an hour, a small boy on a tiny donkey and his dog were walking along side the road, when his dog darted out in front of us...I slowed to about 25 miles an hour, but we nailed him...I felt him hit my boot and I wasn't sure if he caught anything else on the bike. I pulled over and got off my bike and started walking to the small boy...the whole time thinking about my childhood dog (Bummer, yes, that was his real name)...by then I saw that the dog had stopped limping and for the most part looked fine...I approached the boy, about 5 years old on the donkey which looked to be about 6 months old, and asked him if his dog was okay. He was so afraid of me, he didn't answer...I asked him again, and he looked at me and just said "Si". I felt super bad, and I actually had a nightmare that night...wherever I went the small boy was there on his tiny donkey...watching me! When I asked him what he was doing...he just said "Si"! Anyhow, when I remounted the bike and started to ride off, the same damn dog darted out again!!! We didn't hit him this time, but geez, not matter how used to it I get, driving/riding down here is nuts!!!
Anyhow, Nicaragua is a funny place...caught somewhere between the democratic and tourist friendly nation of Costa Rica, and the poorer war-torn states of Honduras and El Salvador, the latter of which is actually becoming an economic power-house in Central America. Nonetheless, it's great to be here, full-knowing that our next trip (whenever that's going to be) to Central America probably won't include Nicaragua...for a short vacation, it would just be too much work...and that's the great thing about this adventure, we get to experience everything! We just don't fly into Costa Rica and go zip-lining in the jungle canopy and fly home...we see/smell/feel every inch of the way from Ventura, California to the Panama Canal!

Crosslake mayor, council member meets with unapproved municipal attorney
In a letter read to the Crosslake City Council Monday night, Dec. 10, city administrator Tom Swenson reported that mayor Darrell Schneider and council member John Moengen were meeting with local attorney Brad Person.
The council has not authorized Person as a city attorney. Currently, Michael Couri serves as appointed city attorney.
Swenson's letter, which was also a letter of resignation, stated that the mayor told Swenson that Person was drafting an employment benefit agreement for Swenson's retirement. Swenson said Moengen and Schneider stated there was no bill for the work.
Council member-elect Mark Wessels has said in phone interviews that the new council will switch attorneys in 2013, but the subject has not been discussed at any recent council meetings.
In a phone interview, Person said he has met with the Schneider, Moengen, Wessels and council member-elect Gary Heacox, but only in groups of two.
Person said he had been in contact with the mayor for years, and that the mayor frequently bounced questions off Person because of his work in municipal law.
"It was pretty informal," Person said. "They are thinking of changing city attorneys, that was the reason for the meeting."
"I'm not billing them, I have no role in the city of Crosslake right now, I just might in a month," Person said.
Swenson stated in his letter that he questioned using Person for legal work because Person is not council authorized.

My brother and I worked every harvest from the time we could ride our bikes. After college, our careers took us beyond the land our grandfather planted in 1924.
Ironically, today we are more fulfilled, working side-by-side at the family vineyard & winery. We didn't plan it or expect it, but we are enjoying this strange twist in our lives.
That's Irony - a bottle full of life's strange twists and a celebration of our family's life-long commitment to producing the finest quality wines.

About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Does a low carbon economy require big sacrifices in economic growth? Are large cuts in emissions technologically feasible? This PricewaterhouseCoopers report, which updates an earlier analysis in 2006, addresses these and other burning issues and concludes that global carbon emissions could more than double by 2050 in a 'business as usual' scenario, but in fact need to be cut by around a half by that date in order to stabilise atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide at acceptable levels.
The report comments on some of the key conditions needed to achieve this without undue economic costs, including the global pricing of emissions through an appropriate mix of carbon markets and carbon taxes and the role of governments in setting clear long-term targets for reducing global emissions. The report argues that action is needed now on a wide range of fronts such as increased energy efficiency, greater use of renewables and nuclear power, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and reversing deforestation.

10 Reasons the Iraq War Was No Cakewalk
Posted by Medea Benjamin in Featured, Stop Funding War, World News & Events on 17th March, 2011 | 1 Comment
March 19 marks the eighth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, a nation that had no weapons of mass destruction and was not involved in the 9/11 attacks. It was sold to the American public as a war to defend our nation and free the Iraqi people. Vice President Dick Cheney said the military effort would take "weeks rather than months." And Defense Secretary Assistant Ken Adelman predicted that "liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk." Eight years on, it's time to look back at that "cakewalk."

text: My well maintained 2000 Suburban 2500 with Vortec 6 liter and tow package has about 200,000 miles and is reading an oil pressure at the gauge around 70psi, which seems weirdly high to me. My mech says to count my blessing but I recently read about an oil regulator valve in the oil pump that can fail (usually failing in the closed position blocking flow) and I wondered if it may not be stuck wide open and if it might be an issue or a blessing. Or maybe just a faulty gauge? It's my toy hauler that pulls our 10,000lb boat/trailer (below) so maybe high pressure is ok as my mech says?? Any thoughts would be great, especially positive ones saying it's a beautiful thing. Thanks in advance, Mike

Always look at country of origin and avoid/boycott all foods from third world dirty countries. This includes Mexico where you can bet on getting sick from a mere visit. China has no standards and breaks any others impose. Organic from other countries are sprayed at the incoming docks rendering them no longer "organic".

Furious wildfires in California, massive droughts across the Plains states, and flooding in the Midwest. All are happening right now, earlier and more dangerously than any time in recent history. All are examples of climate change in America.
A pair of brand-new reports from Yale University show that the ways Americans perceive these threats varies, especially regarding both the causes and severity.
In Extreme Weather and Climate Change in the American Mind, the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication concludes that for the first time a clear majority of Americans—six out of 10—believe that "global warming is affecting weather in the United States."
Clearly this runs counter to the climate change deniers who strongly suggest that a warming planet is just nature taking its course, without any influence from man.
The investigation delves deeper into the American psyche regarding the new frequency of superstorms and just how different or bad weather in their neighborhood has become in recent years.
According to the report:
—Many Americans believe global warming made recent extreme weather and climatic events "more severe," specifically: 2012 as the warmest year on record in the United States (50 percent); the ongoing drought in the Midwest and the Great Plains (49 percent); and Superstorm Sandy (46 percent).
—About two out of three Americans say weather in the U.S. has been worse over the past several years, up 12 percentage points since spring 2012. By contrast, fewer Americans say weather has been getting better over the past several years. Only one in ten (11 percent), down 16 points compared to a year ago
—Fifty-one percent of Americans now say the weather in their local area has been worse over the past several years.
—Over half of Americans (54 percent) believe it is "very" or "somewhat likely" that extreme weather will cause a natural disaster in their community in the coming year.
—Overall, 85 percent of Americans report that they experienced one or more types of extreme weather in the past year, most often citing extreme high winds (60 percent) and extreme heat (51 percent).
A linked study, Global Warming's Six Americas, from a team of investigators with the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication, has identified and labeled a half-dozen distinct classifications for the way Americans perceive the relationship between climate change and extreme weather.
1) Alarmed (16 percent). Very certain that global warming is occurring, understand that it is human caused and harmful and strongly support societal action to reduce the threat.
2) Concerned (29 percent). Nearly one-third of Americans are certain that global warming is occurring, harmful and human-caused. They tend to view global warming as a threat to other nations and future generations, but not as a personal threat or necessarily a threat to their community.
3) Cautious (25 percent). They believe that climate change is real, but are not certain, and many are uncertain about what causes it.
4) Disengaged (9 percent) Have given global warming little to no thought, and have no strongly held beliefs about global warming.
5) Doubtful (13 percent). Are uncertain whether global warming is occurring or not, but believe that if it is happening, it is attributable to natural causes, not human activities.
6) Dismissive (8 percent). Are very certain global warming is not occurring and regard the issue as a hoax, and thus are strongly opposed to any action to reduce the threat.
The Six Americas were first identified in 2008; the most recent survey, taken in September 2012, shows that the Alarmed, Concerned and Cautious segments of the audience comprise about 70 percent of Americans.
Most importantly for those who make the link between global warming and extreme weather, the number of people surveyed who now qualify as alarmed has grown significantly, while the number of those considered dismissive has declined.
Reality is obviously catching up with the majority of Americans.

Apartment complety new, very nice, warm and comfortable, bigger than pictures.Excellent location, 1 minute to old Nice, tram stops in front of the door. Salvatore helps a lot answering very quickly and keeping the luggage last day. In the same street, avenue de la Republique, you can find bakery, supermarket,..Garibaldi place is closed the apparment. The only thing it can be improved is the light in the dinner room that the room needs a stronger light during the night.
Nice appartement in a good location; also if it takes a bit of walking to the old town.
All the appointments with Salvatore were perfect, we got the keys for the appartment and a few instructions.
OK. I liked everything. The apartment in the city center. All nearby. Recommend.
Thank you a lot! A great place near the sea where you can enjoy the seaview. Very cozy and charming!
We enjoyed our stay in this studio, however were disappointed by two things. If the weather is warm the windows need to be open and the street noise is very loud. The second disappoinment is that the ceiling height of the mezzanine is about 5ft (1.5m) which means that any Tennant has to stoop. This is not apparent from the photos.
Nice, tiny appartment which was clean and tidy, very close to the shopping strip and 10 min to get to the beach. We didn't meet salvatore, but his cousin who nicely explained everything and handed out the keys.
The apartment is absolutely brilliant - with a great terrace and a nice kitchen suitable for making breakfast and quick snacks. The host is very friendly and helpful – and quick to reply when contacted.
The apartment is located in the more quit part of Nice, and still only 700m from the beach very close to walking street and the old town. There is three Casino supermarket within 200-300m and two bakeries around the corner - the small funky organic "Bread" 50m up Gambetta and the big old school croissant pastry café on the of Gambetta corner. It's also quite easy to get there from airport if u take the cheap local bus 23 and get off at Alsace Lorraine (when u come from the airport it's the second stop on Gambetta). The apartment is also very close the Nice main train station – so u can get to Cannes in 30 min, and Monaco in 20 min.
great location, had everything we needed, extremely small though.
We arrived in Nice, took a bus from the airport to Magnan bus stop (in front of the aparthotel) near Av. Californie as Salvatore advised us to do.
We have been welcomed by Salvatore's workmate Stefan, who showed us the apartment. The studio was ok, very clean and near the beach as Salvatore mentions on description. Swimming pool is basic but very clean and not crowded. There was a few issues like; there wasn't enough toilet paper, washing up liquid, sponge in the apartment so we bought some more at Casino supermarket which is 3 minutes walk from the apartment. Cooker didn't work as expected. There was a good coffee machine, kettle, toaster, microwave, cutlery, cups, plates and bowls etc... All clean and well organised. There was no bottle opener so the nice people at the reception arranged one for us. There was one sofa bed and one pull out bet. They are ok but a bit weak. Linen was provided which was very clean and well packed just like new. Wifi internet is fast and works 24h/day perfectly. There are restaurants, patisseries, supermarkets, pharmacies, pizza, breakfast, sandwich shops very near the aparhotel (5 minutes walk or less). Suitable for couple/small family. I would come back and I recommend this studio flat.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

I enjoyed watching Brandon Oliver. I don't get to see many small school players in the north too often because of where I live. There are some things to like there. I like how small he gets through the hole and he has some shiftiness. But, his line was so dominant vs Ohio I would have to see more. He seems to slow down sometimes going through the hole and not really accellerating until he is in the open. That would be a problem at the next level.
I had to kind of laugh though. You have 8 minutes of video on 1 kid from just 1 game, and it is all snap to whistle video. So my question is, does Buffalo actually give the ball to anyone else on offense?
Ya, i love me some Oliver Redeye..lol I don't know if i'm as high on him as i was James Starks, but i like em.. Hes a straight workhorse back who can catch the ball outta the backfield, and u know how i like those bowling ball types...

Do u think i'm gonna change my mind on this? I'll bet u right now, hes picked up by a 34 team, and will play the OLB positon.. Hes 2 tiny..
Lemonier has had a 0.5sack in his last 7games.. Thats pathetic...
In 2011, the team still rushed him more often than not, but he spent a LOT more time in a hybrid LB role so as to get Tank C and Bjeorn onto the field. He dropped into coverage on many plays. But he did drop back a a LB a lot more in 2011. In fact, there were a couple interviews where the FSU coaches praised his play at the position.
He might be 260 now, perhaps, but he never played at that weight at FSU. I dont care what they listed him as.
I do agree that Lemoniers is likely a 34 OLB in the NFL and the Jenkins could end up at as a 43 DE, but I just think both have more value as a 34 olb. Someone is going to take a chance on Jenkins before where the consensus thinks he will go. He can take over games. I think it is likely a 34 team.
If we were talking about where would he fit as an every down player then yes, a 3-4 would be a better fit

Improving power factor can reduce system and conductor losses, boost voltage levels, and free up capacity
Power factor correction is a frequently misunderstood topic. Improper techniques can result in over-correction, under-correction, and/or harmonic resonance, so it can be helpful to understand the process for determining the correct methods of sizing capacitors for various applications. It's also important for calculating the values of system and conductor losses, power factor improvement, voltage
Discuss this Article 2
In the article there is a statement that "Improper techniques can result in over-correction".
Could you please condense the explanation of this to a few sentences in relative layman's terminology?
Thank you.

text: Anna Ovcharova's music on the ice - Tatiana Girko talks to Anna Ovcharova for nashagazeta.ch Not so long ago our guest took part in the Music on Ice show in Geneva. The not so familiar Russian name among the local stars was catching. The 17.y.o skater replied to our interview request that she has to ask the coach's permission first. A short, thin and smily girl with a huge bag. What's in the bag? The skates? `No, it's my stuff - am staying overnight in the school'. This is how our conversation with the 2013 Swiss silver medalist and the Russian team member 2009-2012 began Nashagazeta.ch: Anna, how did it all begin? Do you remember your first time on the rink? AO: Oh, it was really funny. We lived in Moscow and my mother was walking me to the kindergarten. On the way there was a building with a cute teddy bear on it. Once mom decided to go in and see what's in the building. Apparently there was an ice rink and they were just recruiting kids to Marina Cherkasova's group. Mom remembered that pair (Cherkasova/Shakhray, Olympics 1980 bronze medalists). She was asked whether she has kids. `I do', said my mom `But she is really little - just 4 y.o'. `Well, she is a bit old' she was told and this is how I end up in the try out. Nashagazeta.ch: Did you want to skate? AO: I was curious. I thought figure skating was so easy - I'll just walk on the ice wearing a beautiful dress and just glide. The trouble was that I wasn't a sproty kid at all. My grandmother couldn't lift my leg higher than 90 degrees - it would hurt. Mom thought I won't get accepted, so she wasn't worried much when she took me there. I was a bit nervious before the try out. When we came to the rink there was another girl and a boy. The boy started crying and compared to him I felt very confident. I was happy to jump, smile and clap. And then Marina started lifting my leg. I thought if I start screaming like I did when my grandmother tried she will not accept me. I closed my eyes and held it for all I was worth not to scream. Marina felt I can't lift my leg any further. I opened one eye and saw she was looking at me. `Ok, you're in' she said. Nashagazeta.ch: Did you like the ice? AO: I got my first pair of skates. I was not confident while walking with them to the rink. I also hated that mom put some stupid pants and sweater on me. I wanted to wear a beautiful dress! The ice door was opened and I saw the kids crawling on the ice. I thought I'll just walk on the ice and will do a sparrow and beautiful spins, but then I had to spend my first practice holding to the boards and trying not to fall. And still I liked the skating, liked being competitive, the costumes my mother would buy for me. Marina wasn't the calmest coach, but she kept saying `come on, do this, do that'. I thought it was her way to support me. I was trying very hard so she would praise me, even though she never does. I kept in mind I had to work hard and she'll see that. I started training harder. I was progressing - not as fast as the other kids, but I had what is called `plus start' - it's when during the competition you can concentrate and show everything you can, despite the nerves. Nashagazeta.ch: How did you end up in Svetlana Bukareva's group? AO: From the very start I was skating together with Nastia Fomenko. Our mothers and grandmothers are good friends. Then she switched to TSKA, and told us the school there was really good. I wanted to join Elena Vodorezova's group. She looked at me. But I was just 7y.o. while most of her group were much older, so she passed me to her ex pupil, Svetlana Sergeevna Bukareva. Svetlana Sergeevna accepted me on one condition: that I start working with a choreographer Elena Frolovna Balagova. But Elena Frolovna didn't want me in her group. Nashagazeta.ch :Why? AO: She had to break my body so it would look good on the ice. My natural posture is bad, am not flexible, I have no choreography talents. I am very artistic and can endure a lot - that's from my grandmother. First I hated training with Elena Frolovna, while I liked Svetlana Bukareva a lot - she was so young and stylish. For the first year I adored her. She would shout at me a lot, but I got used to that by then - most of the coaches in Russia shout. Elena Frolovna, on the other hand, was very strict, but would never raise her voice. She would criticize me a lot, I would work with her through holding back, but then I haven't even noticed when thanks to her I started progressing. I saw there were girls around me who were able to do those things, i.e. it wasn't impossible. I saw Elena Frolovna praising the kids and I really wanted her to praise me. I dreamed one day she would put me in the middle of the class and say `Go on, Anya, show how beautiful your Bielmann is'. We also worked on the jumps with her and during that year I became almost the best in my group. I was the 2nd best in my rink among the girls my age. Adelina Sotnikova was the best. I was really lucky to work with people who achieve so much. I saw how Adelina was working and thought I should work just as hard. Nashagazeta.ch :What happened that made you switch coaches? AO: At some point the mood in the group changed and became hostile. I was just 11y.o but I was surrounded by people who I was afraid of. I had some misunderstandings with the coach. I would come to the practices and cry. Elena Frolovna was working with Svetlana Sokolovskaya and offered me to switch to her. Nashagazeta.ch: you remained on the same rink? AO: Yes, I stayed in TSKA - the conditions there are really good and there are great skaters who practice there. First I didn't think Svetlana Vladimirovna believed in me. I was growing very fast, I was told I will become quite tall, which is not good for figure skating. I was in pain all the time, but I kept practicing. The coach started paying attention to me - she saw I was delivering at the competitions and started taking me to the ice with the adults. I was just 13y.o. I was sharing the ice with Andrey Griazev, Artem Borodulin, Nikita Mikhailov joined the group at some point. At the age of 13 I started copying from the adults - I was trying to do a long crossovers, complicated jumps. Speaking of which, I'm lucky - the harder jumps are easier for me than those which considered easy. Toeloop for example. Nashagazeta.ch :which is your favourite jump? AO: I guess loop and flip Nashagazeta.ch: What about the axel that so many skaters hate? (have an impression the interviewer is not quite sure what's the difference between 2A for ladies and 3A for men and read Lambiel's interviews mainly.... ) AO: It's ok. I've been landing the 2A ever since I was 12y.o., I can do it through my sleep. Toeloop. on the other hand, much beloved by everyone else I hate. It's the hardest jump for me. Svetlana Vladimirovna started taking me seriously, I think, when I won the Moscow cup and the Russian novices championship in 2009. That allowed me participating one JGP event. I was so happy! Then I was 2nd in the nationals. I was progressing, I wanted to go on working despite some injuries I had. Later I was allowed participating 2 GP events. Nashagazeta.ch :you mean the JGP events in 2009, in Poland and Hungary? AO: Right. On my first event in Budapest I was too nervious and couldn't skate well - it was one of my worst skates during my career. We were all very upset - me, my mother, the coach. No idea how did I end up being 5th in the end. I remember someone told me back then `listen to the music when you skate, it will make it easier'. When preparing to the next JGP event I was trying to do everything to the music. My skating changed for the better and I became 2nd. I made it to the GJPF and went to Tokio, where I became 5th. I was thrilled! I then realized a new chapted begins now - everything was so much more serious there. The JGPF takes place together with the GPF. I saw all the stars there! Lysacek, Kim, Kawaguri/Smirnov, Savchenko/Szelkowy. I remember I was running before the competition and was so tired - I wanted to stop and rest for a bit. And then I saw Robin, who was also running. I thought `If he is running, I can't stop!'. I was so motivated by every competition, I was willing to practice day and night. The same season I became 5th in Russian nationals. I saw all the Russian stars, the coaching stars and Tatiana Tarasova, who came to the rink gave me some advice. Nashagazeta.ch : how did you end up in Geneva? AO: My little brother studied in a private school in Switzerland. My mother would visit him quite often. Father would be in Europe quite often as well, while I stayed and trained in Moscow. At some point it was decided we all should unite and Switzerland was the most convenient place. We wrote a letter to mr. Grutter, and when he agreed to coach me I was in 7th heaven. There were no doubts we had to move. Nashagazeta.ch: Tell me about the school you are attending. AO: I go to the international school Collège du Léman. According to the Advanced Placement programme I have to choose one subject. I chose European History. I wanted to take French and English as well, but I'm a perfectionist and would want perfect grades, so I left it for the next year. Nashagazeta.ch : What do you want to do once you retire from skating? AO: Guess I should learn the hotel business, since I'm here anyway. But no, I'd like to try various things. Nashagazeta.ch: how do you combine school, practices and competitions? AO: School was always easy. Figure skating , on the other hand is a challenge, the elements dont' come easy for me. Back in Russia I saw the girls learn things in 2 weeks that would take me 2-3 months. But it only motivates me more, I like setting the goals and reaching them. Nashagazeta.ch: Describe your day AO: It depends on the weekday. Usually my practice is at 7am, hence I miss the first lesson at the school. After the pracitce I go to school and study till 16.00. We have 9 lessons every day. Usually I miss the last 2 lessons and go to the next practice. Then I work with the private teacher, have a choreography or a gym. Nashagazeta.ch: what about the homework? AO: In the evening or on the way - in the tram or the train. It's quite convenient really! Sometimes I stay overnight at the school if I have to attend the 1st lesson. It's a boarding school. Nashagazeta.ch: do the teachers support you? AO: Depends. Some understand, some get offended and think I miss their classes because I don't respect them. Hence are my problems with biology and economy. Nashagazeta.ch: was it easier in Russia? AO: In Russia no one was offended. But yes, it was easier indeed - I just had to pass the exams, submit the assignments. It's quite harder for me here - not because the subjects are harder. First it was because they teach in a foreign language. Besides, if you miss more than 10% of the lessons you are expelled. My coach even had to go to the principal and explain I'm a part of the Swiss national team and have to miss a bit more lessons. The school administration was understanding. Nashagazeta.ch: you achieved quite a lot in Russia. You moved to Switzerland about a year ago and won, I think, all the local competition and became silver medalist in the nationals. You train under Peter Grutter in Geneva, who trained Stephan Lambiel to become the Olympics, Worlds and Europeans medalist. How is it working with such a coach? AO: It's the first time I met a person who is so much in love with his job. It seems he is having so much fun working! When I work with him I don't want to leave the ice. He has a personal approach to everyone. Nashagazeta.ch: how would you describe him? AO: He is very calm and very kind. Very caring. But if I have to skate the programme I will and there is no escape. He is very knowledgeable - he knows how should the elements be done, how to set the skater's mind. Sometimes I get mad when an element doesn't work. I noticed the coach starts talking to me, and when I forget about the element I stop freaking out and it works. I'm amazed by him. I think everyone loves mr. Grutter. Sometimes Stephane Lambiel comes over. His skating is divine. When I look at him I think `if I should ever skate half as good as he does it's all I can dream about'. Nashagazeta.ch: which language do you speak to the coach? AO: French. If I don't understand something he explains in English. But I think he speaks every possible language! He learned Russian 30 years ago. Stephan sometimes helps me when mr. Grutter is busy with other pupils. They are so passionate about that work! I think that passion is transmitted to me in a way - I feel that my body is so tired, but my soul is on fire and I repeat the elements again and again. Not long ago we were skating together with Stephane Lambiel and Denis Ten in Zurich. Nashagazeta: You went all the way to Zurich for that one practice? AO: Yes. All the rinks in Geneva canton are already closed and they invited me to skate. I think it was worth it - I got to skate on the same ice with such skaters ! I would go even if it was just for one hour. They shared some ideas ,gave some advice. Nashagazeta.ch: You participated the `Music on Ice' in Geneva together with such stars as Stephane Lambiel, Sarah Meier, Brian Joubert, Pechalat/Bourzat, Suguri, Contesti and others. What participating such shows gives you? AO: Oh, the roster! I thought `Why did they invite me at all?'. Laurent Tobel choreographs very funny numbers. We met 2 years ago in Alexandr Zhulin's show. I had just started learning French and Laurent was helping me with my homework. We talked a lot about the sport and I asked him to speak French to me, but I didn't understand much so we slided to English. He found me when I moved to Switzerland and started inviting to his shows in Italy. All of his shows are a one theme act. Music on ice, for example, is a Japanese story. Participating such a show is an amazing experience for me, a wonderful opportunity to see how the world class skaters train. I get more experience, learn how to set myself. You can never be sure you'll skate well even if you are 100% ready. I spoke to Sarah Meier and she said `Every time I go on the ice it feels like my very first competition'. Indeed, after every competition oyu think you know everything - how to get ready, how to deal with the nerves. And yet the next competition you are clueless again! Nashagazeta.ch: which team is easy to get into - Russian or Swiss? AO: Russia is a bigger country with much more kids, so it's harder. Though in order to join the Swiss team I had to take a test which I passed form the 2nd attempt. But I was ill with a pneumonia the first time - the ice rinks here are cold and I'm not used to dress warm on the ice. Nashagazeta.ch: Seems that both the skaters and the viewers in Switzerland are not spoiled. The 2011 Europeans in Bern were so cold the viewers were given the blankets.... AO : Yes, after the Europeans our team came home shocked. The Russian skaters enjoy great conditions. I didn't note it before and thought it was the same everywhere. But coming here I felt the difference Nashagazeta.ch :what's the difference? AO: The rinks are warm in Russia, the team have an ice rink of their own. But there is no Mr. Grutter. Here we skate all together. I try to come when the ice is not really crowded - in the mornings. Nashagazeta.ch: Is the teaching different? AO: In Russia the coaches often give orders. Here the coach and the skater discuss things, we talk about the programme, the plans. The coach understands we are people and not robots. Sometimes you come to the rink and despite sleeping well have no energy. Mr. Grutter never says `you must do'. He says `ok, warm up and we'll see how it goes'. You start warming up, feel better and start jumping and then do the run through the programme, perhaps even more than once. And sometimes it's the other way around - you run out of energy fast. Mr. Grutter understands it. Nashagazeta.ch You said music helps you a lot. Who chooses the music? AO: We discuss various ides. I come up with the character which I'd like to depict. The coach says the dancing music becomes me, but I'd like to try different styles. So far I had completely different programmes every year. But if Mr. Grutter dislikes the music we will not use it - he knows which piece will sound good on the ice. Nashagazeta.ch: do you have your next season programmes choreographed? AO: Yes. I will skate to a gypsy music in the SP. The coach found an Igor Moiseeve ensemble CD and offered the theme. For the LP we took various compositions by Glenn Miller. I like my new programmes - they are very different but both are great! I still have to work a lot o nthem, but I can see how Stephane works on his programmes and understand should I work equally hard I'll make it. Nashagazeta.ch: Can you represent Switzerland in the international competitions? AO: Starting July 1st. Next year I can compete at the international competitions, which, quite frankly, I missed. I think I'll first compete in 2 national competitions to show the programmes and see what needs more working. If I recall correctly Switzerland has one spot for the Europeans and the Nationals will decide who will go. The Swiss national champion will participate the Europeans and the Worlds. Even if I win I will not be able participate the Olympics - I don't have the Swiss citizenship.
