Product Details, Care, and Safety
Certificate of Authenticity
MedicAlert Foundation guarantees that all items produced and marked to indicate 14K Gold or Sterling Silver are manufactured in accordance with Federal gold and silver marking standards.
Re-Engraving Service
In most cases, 14K Gold and Sterling Silver (without Rhodium coating) can be re-engraved in the event changes to your medical information are required. Space limitations may apply. These changes are not covered by the warranty. For warranty information or to schedule re-engraving, call 1-800-432-5378.
Leather Care and Cleaning
Place a small amount of gentle, moisturizing bath soap on a damp cloth and work it into a light lather. Rub the damp cloth on the
leather without getting the leather too wet. Using a fresh damp cloth, wipe off the leather. Do not use water to rinse the leather. Polish the item with a dry towel. After it has dried completely, treat the leather with a leather conditioner.
Sterling Silver Care and Cleaning
Maintain the brilliance of your Sterling Silver medical ID with a regular schedule of cleaning and be careful not to use
an abrasive sponge, cloth or cleaner on your emblem as these will scratch the surface. Silver cleaning solutions offer the best results and are especially helpful in cleaning the chain and clasp quickly.
Swarovski Elements® Care and Cleaning
Beaded or strung jewelry is considerably more fragile than chain bracelets. Store your jewelry in a soft pouch or a padded box separate from other jewelry to avoid scratches. An occasional buffing with a soft cloth will help maintain its original finish. Avoid exposing the bracelet to chemicals unnecessarily. We recommend removing your SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS® bracelet before swimming or heavy exercise.
Silver Tarnishing Warning
A high percentage of diabetics and individuals taking an anticoagulant have experienced tarnishing of the non-rhodium-coated
silver products. For these customers, we recommend selecting a rhodium-coated silver product or another metal type.
Choking Warning
All MedicAlert necklaces and beaded products with small parts can be a choking hazard and are not intended for children 12 & under.
Proposition 65 Warning
Pearls and crystals manufactured by Swarovski® contain trace amounts of lead, a chemical known to the State of California to
cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. These products are safe to wear on the skin; however, at no time are the products we sell intended to be ingested in any manner. MedicAlert does not market these products to anyone under the age of 12.
Tax Benefits
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
MedicAlert services and our medical ID products are qualified reimbursable expenses under FSAs and HSAs. For specific information on medical FSAs, talk to your human resources department or tax specialist.
Tax Deductions

Rosslyn Park had never won a league match in Cambridge before their clash on Saturday but they put that record to bed with a thoroughly professional performance and a 32-14 triumph in National League One.
The opening exchanges were even, as both sides tried to get their back lines going in ideal conditions for open rugby, but Park soon began to take hold of proceedings.
In 18th minute, Hugo Ellis continued his try scoring exploits by almost apologetically going over in the corner. The try only given after the referee had a long consultation with his touch judge.
Park were now starting to control matters with the home side's young backs looking sprightly but naïve and committing too many handling errors.
In the 30th minute there was an excellent passing movement by Park which culminated in scrum half Mathew Heeks off loading to debutant Sam Katz to score a try and then convert.
Cambridge were now getting a little desperate in their efforts to contain Park and winger Gillick saw yellow.
As often happens though, the sending to the sin bin produced an energetic flurry of attacking pressure from Cambridge but once again they spilled the ball and conceded yet another penalty to halt the Park break out.
Katz slotted the penalty with ease to send Park in at half-time 15-0 in front.
The second half started in the same vein as the first with both sides displaying bright attacking moves but with the experienced Park players allowing fewer errors.
After another Cambridge yellow card a superb flowing movement going through many pairs of hands first went wide left and then came back right and winger Dom Shabbo performed the coup de grace.
Katz again comfortably converted and then a few minutes later produced the individual moment of the game when he embarked on a long solo run from well inside his own half beating several opponents with two outrageous dummies before slipping the ball for Charles Broughton to score the bonus point gaining fourth try.
Perhaps then Park took their foot off the pedal and Cambridge started to threaten. After a quick tap penalty the home side scored after 26 minutes of the half but this was immediately pulled back by Broughton's second try.
Although 7-32 behind the 'Blood and Sand', as Cambridge are called, never gave up their spirited efforts to pierce the Park defence again in the closing phases of the game.
A fierce bullocking run by ever-defiant No8 Hipwell was a reward for their brave efforts but it was to be the last score of the day.
Park, currently fifth in the table, host Coventry, in sixth, on Saturday (kick off 2.30pm).

Yes, this post is going to be about me. Sorry. But, can I just take a few sentences to complain? In a previous Beauty Buzz post, I wrote about the wrinkles under my eyes. Let's just get it out of the way and call them "crows feet." Ever since that moment I can't stop looking at myself in the mirror!
Am I the only one who does this?
I really need to come to terms with the fact that this is all part of the aging process. I just need to deal with it. Orrrrrr…I can be like that small percentage that runs to the plastic surgeon's office at the mere sight of an "imperfection." OK, that's not me. I won't do that. But, man! I can see why people decide to "go there." It really does weigh on your mind after you've discovered a wrinkle on your face, doesn't it?
Stupid "crows feet" making me dwell on my stupid looks. It really bugs me! I know what you're saying…"just forget about it." I'm seriously trying. But it doesn't help that they're called "crows feet." It should be called something like "angels wings."
Hmmmm…angels wings it is!
I'm going to go stand in front of the mirror and admire my angels wings now.

Corporate America has a new ally in the war to spread unseasonable holiday cheer. Thanksgiving may be two weeks away, but according to one sharp-eyed reader, that isn't stopping the coffee behemoth Starbucks from bludgeoning consumers with Christmas.
Just last year, the Seattle Times wrote: "Something [consumers] don't want — and which Starbucks will hold until after Thanksgiving — are the holiday tunes."
Well guess what, you can't celebrate Christmas in November without Christmas songs, so along with its sense of time and decency, Starbucks is chucking the pre-Thanksgiving ban on annoying holiday music. From Cajun Boy:
When I entered the store, I immediately noticed a change in the environment that both stunned and slightly horrified me. Everywhere I looked, it was Christmas. Christmas songs were playing on the store soundtrack. I immediately glanced down at my watch to confirm that yes, it was indeed November 8th and still something like 7 weeks until fucking Christmas.
Please, don't tell Louis Black or his head will explode.
holy s*#t it's christmas!!! [Cajun Boy in the City]

UF softball up to No. 1 in poll
Published: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 1:08 p.m.

Thanks to its 6-0 start that included wins over two ranked teams, the Florida softball team climbed two spots to No. 1 in the ESPN.com /USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 poll released Tuesday.
It's Florida's first No. 1 ranking since Feb. 28, 2011.
Last week, the Gators claimed wins in Tampa over then-No. 23 USF and then-No. 4 Michigan, along with victories against Wisconsin (twice), Illinois State and Bethune-Cookman.
This week, the Gators open their home schedule Wednesday with a 6 p.m. game against Jacksonville University before traveling to Las Vegas for the Easton Desert Classic. UF will face five opponents including Hawaii and Minnesota, who are receiving votes in this week's poll.

The players have now lost four paychecks. Question: Will they cave, or will they all lose a whole year's worth of salary and a year off their careers?
De-certification remains an option, but apparently that process might even make it less likely that we will have a 2012-13 season.
Here is Kevin Allen's story from USA Today about the benefits and risks of de-certification.

A PROGRESSIVE band are hoping to rock parliament after being nominated for a prestigious competition by their MP.
Da Vinci have been chosen as Worcester MP Robin Walker's nomniation in the rock category for Rock the House 2014, which is a parliamentary contest to raise awareness of the importance of protecting intellectual property rights.
The four-piece is made up of frontman Declan Sharma, lead guitarist and backing vocalist Vinnie Liotta, Tim Wilson on bass and drummer Karl Gibbs, and they will find out if they are among the winners on Sunday, June 15.
The band thanked Mr Walker for giving them the opportunity to represent the Faithful City at the competition which could see them have their music played in the Houses of Parliament and win prizes such as equipment, festival slots and recording sessions.
A spokesman for the band added: "Da Vinci will be representing Worcester and we feel honoured and proud to have been given this opportunity."
Da Vinci's debut single and video, Not Your Romeo, is coming out later this year to raise awareness and money for the British Heart Foundation and the debut album, Razorblade World, will be out in the winter.
The record will be accompanied by the DVD release of the premiere performance of Razorblade World, the live rock drama show filmed at Worcester's historic Huntington Hall.
Rock the House is supported by many patrons such as Alice Cooper, Brian May and Rick Wakeman, while the judging panel is made up of a number of music industry representatives.
The competition was found by Mike Weatherley MP.

Did you know?
The first match at Newlands was played in 1890, between Stellenbosch and Villagers.
DHL Newlands is the home of Stormers (Super 15) and Western Province (Currie Cup) teams, while South Africa's national team, the Springboks, generally plays one match here every year.
The stadium is easily accessible and close to shopping centres like Cavendish Square for pre-match requirements, as well as a variety of bars and restaurants for festivities after the game.
The Super 15 kicks off in February each year, which is a great time to be in Cape Town. If you are based in Australia or New Zealand, check out when your local team is due at Newlands to play the Stormers, and make a plan to be there.
Capetonians love their rugby and because of this there are generally very few, if any, empty seats at the stadium for Super Rugby and international matches. In recent years, the Stormers faithful have been entertained by heroes like Schalk Burger, Jean de Villiers, Bryan Habana, Breyton Paulse, De Wet Barry and Gio Aplon. Despite an 11-year trophy drought leading up to 2012, the Stormers were regarded as one of the most exciting teams in the world due to their style of play.
The Currie Cup, South Africa's provincial rugby championship, takes place during the latter months of the year, and if you're visiting while this is taking place, you'll enjoy the Newlands experience if you take the time to do so.
Some famous moments in rugby have taken place at Newlands. Do you remember seeing Jonah Lomu run over Mike Catt to score one of his four tries when the All Blacks thrashed England in the semi-final of the 1995 Rugby World Cup? The opening match of the tournament in which South Africa beat Australia to set in motion a remarkable story was also played there.

About two weeks before my BFP I had finally plucked up the courage to donate blood for the first time. When asked if there was any chance I was pregnant before proceeding I answered with a firm 'no!'. Little did I know my little boy had already been conceived. I felt pretty shoddy after the donation and didn't start to feel better as I had expected. I decided I wouldn't be donating blood again. Eventually something clicked in my mind and I got out the calendar and started counting. And rechecking. And again. My period was 5 days late. There were two lines on the stick and despite the waterworks my little bean had already become part of our family
DD2 had arrived with no problems in hospital 5 years previously, so after some discussion with DH we decided to apply to the Community midwifery program and have this baby at home. Although I feel absolutely revolting for the first 20 weeks my previous pregnancies had been normal and I'm pretty sure I have most boring medical history ever So we were offered a place and everything went smoothly, my midwives were lovely and very supportive and knoweledgable. Having them visit me at home in the last month was a godsend! From about 37 weeks I had a lot of prelabour and false starts and it was taking it's toll mentally. Everything was ready for the birth, the birthpool was ready, the girls were ready, dh was ready, I was most definately ready!!
My due date came and went...the girls were a little early so that was a first!...my midwife started doing stretch and sweeps every second day to try get things moving, I was 3-4cm dilated but no painful contractions. My backup hospital booked me in for induction at 11 days over. This hospital had a reputation for being difficult when it came to overdue babies so I was getting stressed.At 10 days over my midwife sought permission from the Consultant to break my waters at home. I had toddled off to a Melbourne cup lunch in the hopes that if I went and tried to have fun I would suddenly go into labour! Not 10 minutes after arriving at my friends house my phone rang, it was my lovely midwife with the news that if I went and had some monitoring at the hospital first, she would be able to break my waters at home!!! Hurrah!!
Sitting in the horrible chair having monitoring was so uncomfortable, I was having strong braxton hicks and due to the position I was in the pain in my back was unbearable. The midwife attending us was lovely and brought me sandwiches and lemonade to get bubs moving so we could skedaddle Throughout all this I felt very strongly that our baby was just fine and didn't experience a moments worry. After the registrar had a quick look at the trace he sent us on our way with cheery 'Goodluck!' and I breathed a massive sigh of relief that I would be meeting my baby very soon.
At 4.20pm my midwife broke my waters. Having it done on my own bed was slightly disconcerting, what about my mattress!! Seriously though, I felt so relaxed being in my own home. There was no great gush of fluid, merely a little trickle, I was still a stretchy 3-4 cm and bubs was fully engaged as he had been for at least 2 weeks. As I stood up I had a painful contraction. "ow, you broke me!' I said to the midwife, she chuckled and put her hand on my belly. 'Ooooh yeah, that's a nice one!'. I was so happy to finally be in pain!
She suggested that I go sit on my fit ball and bounce around a bit to put pressure on my cervix. Meanwhile she hung around for a bit to do a few observations and make sure bubs was happy. After 10 Minutes I needed the toilet and as I stood up whoooosh! I was laughing my head of as I toddled off to the toilet trying to hold in the flow(not very successfully). After that the contractions started to ramp up and were lasting a minute. My midwife left to watch her daughters netball game. My Mum had already arrived to tend the girls and she took them to drop DD1 at her pottery class. I called my friend who is a student midwife and was following my pregnancy for her studies, to come over as things were heating up. When I had to stop and breathe through the contractions I told DH to start filling the pool.
By now it was about 5.30 and I had to stop flitting around the house and concentrate. I laboured on my hands and knees on my bed. The pain in my back was horrendous and never really went away between contractions. DS was in a good position and not posterior, but I always seem to feel the pain in my back, my mum was the same. I was timing the contractions on my phone and when I had 5 contractions 3 minutes apart I called my midwife"It hurts, you'd better come back" I whimpered. I'd told her that if I said it hurts she'd better get here quick smart as I'd been fully dilated with DD2 when I finally cracked and started complaining That was at about 5.50 and by 6.00pm she was here. I asked if I could get in the pool and she said yes, but DH had made it too hot!!Argh! While I was waiting for cold water to be added I had a contraction on the couch, then decided to dash off to the toilet between contractions. Scampering past the front door in the buff I encountered two backup midwives on their way in. At this point I still had my sense of humour beacuse I made a comment about a 'naked pregnant lady coming through!!' According to the notes they arrived at 6.12pm. I had another contraction in the toilet before I headed back to hop in the pool.
Oh for the love of God the relief. I wish it had been ready a lot earlier but I refused to get my hopes up that I was really in labour. I laboured on my hands and knees, I tried to rest my head on the side between contractions but I had to have my belly horizontal to keep the pressure off my back. By this point my arms were shaking from holding me up. A midwife was getting me to have sips of water. DD2(5) was pouring water on my back and calmly encouraging me. It was actually really soothing to hear her little voice. My breathing changed from a slow blowing out to a frantic 'ffffffffffffffffffff' sound and I said the baby will be here soon. Halfway through the next contraction I started pushing and I was startled because I hadn't meant to. My midwife just said 'Go with it Kristie' and left me to it. Up to this point I had been quiet apart from the sound of me breathing but now I was making a lot of noise and I didn't care. I didn't hold back and was aware that I was probably doing myself an injury but didn't care about that either. I wanted this baby out. Like, yesterday
Liam Jon was born after a 6 minute 2nd stage at 6.36pm on November 6th, 2013, Melbourne Cup day I scooped him up into my arms and settled back to look at him. I had warned DH that babies born in the water tend to be quiet and bluish and he will be eternally grateful, as Liam just made a little yelp and promptly went to sleep. Very different to our DD's who came our screaming and went pink straight away. Lying back in the water and looking at him was pure bliss. DD1 arrived home just as her brother was being born and DD2 had been right in the thick of it the whole time. Everyone gathered around to look at this calm little bundle and I remember thinking that this was exactly what I wanted - my baby entering the world with his family around him and caregivers who were known to us, with no unnesscesary(sp?) fuss.
I got to wallow with him in the pool for 43 minutes while his very stubborn placenta tried to emerge, I was absolutely spent and could barely rustle up a cough to try and help it out! Eventually out it came and it was enormous and perfectly healthy, no wonder he didn't want to come out he had it too good on the inside! (I had the placenta encapsulated it was too good to waste ) The midwives did their 'things' Liam was weighed at 4.28 kg and 57cm long, though his length was wrong because at 3 weeks he was only 54cm! So maybe 51-52cm. It was pretty dark when they were doing the measuring
After a breastfeed and general checkover(I only had a little graze, yeah!)I had a shower while DH snuggled with Liam. I felt pretty faint getting out of the shower so I called out and the cavalry came running I think I was a bit dehydrated, not to mention exhausted from a fast and furious labour.By 10.30 I was tucked up in bed with my little man My mum got the girls off to bed and cleaned up
I had a fantastic experience with the community midwives, the ante and postnatal care was awesome(after the birth they came to my house every couple of days for 3 weeks!). For me it wasn't just about the birth but the whole period surrounding it. I'd certainly do it all again. But there wont be 'next time'. Honest!

Seated side by side, Ed Braddy and Craig Lowe sparred for some two hours at the first forum since they advanced to the April 16 runoff for Gainesville mayor.

Monday evening's African American Accountability Alliance forum was also the first since the incumbent Lowe's March 19 arrest on charges of driving under the influence.
Serving as moderator, former city and county commissioner Rodney Long began with a question on the issue of character -- noting that both Braddy and Lowe have had a DUI arrest involving a vehicle crash while in office.
Braddy was arrested in January 2006 during his second term on the commission. He entered treatment and pleaded no contest. On Monday, Lowe entered a deferred prosecution agreement.
"All I can offer is how I responded to the situation," Braddy said.
He described his arrest as a "turning point" in his life and added that he "never made any excuses ... never passed the buck."
Lowe asked for forgiveness from his supporters and the community and said he hoped to "restore confidence and trust."
"I do apologize for the actions and the poor judgement I showed getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol," Lowe said. "I do greatly regret this decision and am willing to accept responsibility for it."
On city issues, Braddy and Lowe sparred over the economy, transportation and the biomass plant. The 4A's endorsed Lowe in the runoff.
Hitting on a common campaign theme, Lowe pointed to the economic gains of Innovation Square, Prioria Robotics' expansion and Silver Airways' move to Gainesville. He said those would bring direct jobs and have a "multiplier" effect that creates jobs outside the high-tech sector.
Braddy said Lowe was espousing a "trickle-down" approach to economic development.
"He wants Innovation Square to trickle down to the rest of us," he said.
Braddy said Lowe's focus was on a future vision for Gainesville that includes a bus rapid transit system, a downtown streetcar and the 30-year contract to purchase power from the biomass plant. Braddy said his focus was on making utility rates affordable now, fixing aging infrastructure in east Gainesville and improving transit service in that area of town.
Lowe countered that Braddy the mayoral candidate was now talking of the need to improve transit service and fix infrastructure in east Gainesville when those were not priorities for Braddy the city commissioner.
"As commissioner, Mr. Braddy never supported increasing funding" for bus service, Lowe said. He described Braddy as a "recent convert" to the idea.
Braddy said Lowe was distorting his voting record.
"This is where a desperate mayor shows his desperation by misleading you, the voters, and it's disgraceful," Braddy said.
On the campaign trail, Braddy has been critical of the biomass contract. He's called for the city to take a more hard-line stance on an ongoing claim of breach of contract against the biomass firm and attempt to exit the contract.
Monday, Lowe began reading comments from a 2008 meeting, when it was Braddy who made the motion to enter negotiations on the biomass plant. Lowe said that, as commissioners, they had "similar voting histories" on biomass.
Braddy countered that he was out of office in 2009 when the City Commission approved the contract to purchase power from the biomass plant.
"The threat to our affordability is in the contract," Braddy said.
The opponents also sparred over one hotly-debated step the city has taken to limit rate increases associated with the plant. Instead of lowering electric rates as natural gas prices declined, the city held the line and charged customers some 20 percent over actual fuel costs to build up a $23 million fund intended to cushion the spike in future fuel charges from the biomass plant.
"One person's overpayment is another person's financial strategy to mitigate long-term impact," Lowe said.
Braddy called for a rebate to customers.
"It's unethical," he said. "It's an overcharge. So by definition it should go back to the ratepayers."
Each candidate had an opportunity to pose questions to his opponent. Lowe asked Braddy how, "given his history on a right-wing talk show," he would work with Democratic members of Congress he'd criticized on air or the Obama administration.
Braddy, who co-hosted conservative radio show Talk of the Town, responded "better than you."
"I won't go up there and glad hand everybody like you, Mr. Mayor," he said.
Braddy asked Lowe what unique contribution he had made to fix the infrastructure in east Gainesville.
Lowe responded that the Eastside Community Redevelopment Agency was a mechanism to fund needed, long-ignored infrastructure improvements and Braddy, as a commissioner, had voted against an expansion of that CRA.
Braddy said he did so on "principle" because the consultant who performed the study on the CRA expansion said he'd always found the legally required blight conditions in 30 years of conducting studies.

You know what the human body is made of? Oh, you think you do, and the scientists think they do too. For kicks and many giggles, here's the elemental makeup of the human body (according to science):
Oxygen (65%)
Carbon (18%)
Hydrogen (10%)
Nitrogen (3%)
Calcium (1.5%)
Phosphorus (1.0%)
Potassium (0.35%)
Sulfur (0.25%)
Sodium (0.15%)
Magnesium (0.05%)
Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Manganese, Cobalt, Iron (0.70%)
Lithium, Strontium, Aluminum, Silicon, Lead, Vanadium, Arsenic, Bromine (trace amounts)
The scientists have it all wrong. The human body is 75% fun. At least. Ideally, fun should be in the 85% - 90% range, but 75% is acceptable during various times of duress. This girl, this RabidRunner, is not having much fun lately. Nope. Nada. And that's why today's tune is:
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper
(That's all they really want! Is some fun!)
Hopefully listening to this tune will jump start my fun-ometer. If it doesn't, run for cover! A rabid girl that hasn't had fun in a while is a scary creature.

Bilateral and multilateral diplomacy are on the agenda.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Equatorial Guinea's President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo will address the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on September 26. President Obiang has a full schedule of other events his week, including several meetings with other heads of government and heads of state.
The Equatorial Guinea delegation, led by President Obiang, joins 130 Heads of State and Government, Vice Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministers of Foreign Affairs and their delegations as they come together to discuss important international issues such as development, climate change, fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals, economy and global finance, food security and others.
President Obiang met with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, earlier this week to discuss the progress of the activities being carried out by the UN in Equatorial Guinea. During the meeting, the Secretary-General reaffirmed the "UN's commitment to continue to support the efforts of Equatorial Guinea and Gabon towards the peaceful settlement of their border dispute through referral to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in a timely manner," said a UN official statement.
Today, President Obiang held bilateral meetings with Cote d'Ivoire President Alassane Ouatarra, South Africa President Jacob Zuma, and Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller.
As a member of the African Union Committee of the Ten African States, President Obiang will attend a reception held by Sierra Leone and the Committee of Ten African States this evening. The committee is discussing reform of the United Nations Security Council.
About Equatorial Guinea
The Republic of Equatorial Guinea (República de Guinea Ecuatorial) is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa, and one of the smallest nations on the continent. In the late-1990s, American companies helped discover the country's oil and natural gas resources, which only within the last five years began contributing to the global energy supply. Equatorial Guinea is now working to serve as a pillar of stability and security in its region of West Central Africa. The country hosted the 2011 Summit of the African Union.

Given the popularity of the containers, further investment in the telco/cable industry is needed to transition existing VM-based solutions to containerized cloud native deployments. The networking architecture of the solution isolates the network traffic into different network planes (e.g., management, control, and media).

Global Warming Impact on Human/Mammal Health by 2100 Predicted

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Matthew Huber of Purdue University
(Source: arcticstories.net)
The paper describes what would happen to humans and other mammals if global temperatures were to rise a certain amount over the course of this century
A Purdue climatologist has published a paper that questions, "How much
can humans physically handle?"
Matthew Huber, a Purdue University climatologist, wrote a scientific paper that describes what would happen to humans and other mammals if expected
rises in global temperature
were to occur by the year 2100. Average estimates from certain models land in the 3 to 4 degrees Celsius range, while others predict 10 or even 20 degree hikes.
Using a measurement technique called "wet-bulb temperature," Huber and Sherwood were able to model what would happen to humans if the 3, 4, 10 or 20 degree increases were to occur by 2100. The wet-bulb temperature method consists of a thermometer bulb wrapped in wet cloth and ventilated, which represents the most perfect scenario for a human to withstand increasing global temperatures: a naked, healthy adult standing in the shade while drinking gallons and gallons of water. Any other scenario that strays from this perfect example would place heat-related stress on a person or mammal to some degree depending on the increase in global temperature.
"We intentionally were trying to explore the upper limit of what humans can possibly stand," said Huber. "Essentially we were assuming a perfectly acclimated person, in perfect health, not performing physical labor, and out of the sun, and were then asking, 'What would it take to kill them quickly?' A real person would be profoundly uncomfortable, miserable and/or sick long before we reach the limit discussed in our paper. Infants, pregnant women, and the elderly would be especially vulnerable long before we hit the limit discussed.
"Thus, the global mean temperature increase of about >10°C that causes widespread heat death in our paper probably is a significant overestimate of the threshold at which substantial harm [would come] to societies and individuals would suffer harm and/or reduced productivity. Put in more prosaic terms, large parts of the world would be violating OSHA and international health standards for work long before we approach this >10°C threshold. But we wanted to be sure we had a limit set by physical and thermodynamic laws and not by human ones (since those are mutable)."
According to Huber, it's most important for the world to set a goal of what temperature increase to avoid. He believes avoiding a 2 degree Celsius increase by 2100 would be impossible by this point, but maybe a 6 degree (and definitely 10 degree) increase is preventable if the proper actions are taken.
If a 10 or 12 degree global temperature increase was achieved by 2100, Huber said people would likely be dying in the streets or running to air conditioned-only locations. However, increased air conditioning can lead to power grid issues, and the grid is strained enough as it is.
What would the world be like if we hit a 12 degree Celsius increase?
"My nightmare," said Huber. "I'm in Oklahoma on a hot summer day. Under a heat lamp. Running. Wrapped in plastic."
There is much debate over whether climate models are correct or not, so Huber's method of basing his results of off many of them (which have varied results of 3 to 20 degree Celsius predicted hikes by 2100) have caused scientists to be skeptical.
"The models aren't perfect," said Huber. "The thing to ask is, are they biased to produce a world that is too warm or
too cold in the future
? For 30 years, climate modelers have compared simulations of past climate change (glacial intervals, greenhouse climates such as the Eocene) against data and found that models get the general climate right but that they are systematically biased to be somewhat too insensitive to forcing. In other words, what modeling of past climates tells us is that these models are—if anything—biased to underpredict future climate change."
Another question addressed is whether humans can adapt to the increase in global temperature. Huber seems to think some can through burrowing, staying near bodies of water, reducing activities and becoming more active at night.
"The most direct way for humans to respond physiologically, which would take thousands of years if at all (we are most likely to change our behaviors) is to get small and skinny, to decrease our volume and maximize our surface area so we can lose heat more effectively," said Huber.
Earlier this week,
ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson
said that manmade global warming has been overexaggerated, and that humans could easily adapt to rising global temperatures.
He also blamed a lazy press, illiterate public and fear-mongering advocacy groups for the bad light placed on the oil industry.
"We have spent our entire existence adapting," said Tillerson. "We'll adapt. It's an engineering problem and there will be an engineering solution."
Huber and Sherwood's
was published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Mother Jones
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." -- Michael Dell, after being asked what to do with Apple Computer in 1997

Caixa Forum
Herzog & de Meuron
Madrid, Spain
The surprising sculptural aspect of the CaixaForum's silhouette reflects the roofscape of the surrounding buildings. The CaixaForum i located in the heart of the city's cultural district, facing the Paseo del Prado, in close proximity to the Prado, the Reina Sofia and the Thyssen-Bornemisza museums.
Conceived as an urban magnet, not only for art-lovers but also
for the building itself, the architects lifted the building off the
ground, in apparent defiance of the laws of gravity, to draw
visitors inside.
The museum is housed in a converted 1899 power station, one of
the city's few remaining examples of historically significant
industrial architecture, that was acquired by the Caixa Foundation
in 2001.
An insignificant gas station was demolished to create a small plaza between the Paseo del Prado and the new CaixaForum. The classified brick walls of the former power station are reminiscences of the early industrial age in Madrid, while the gas station, a purely functional structure, was clearly out of place.
A 24 meter high vertical garden, designed in collaboration with the botanist Patrick Blanc, takes up one wall of the square.
/Jacques Herzog
The garden establishes a connection with the Botanical Garden and the landscape of the Paseo del Prado.
The only material of the old power station that we could use was the classified brick shell. In order to conceive and insert the new architectural components of the CaixaForum Project, we began with a surgical operation, separating and removing the base and the parts of the building no longer needed. This opened a completely novel and spectacular perspective that simultaneously solved a number of problems posed by the site./Herzog & de Meuron
The removal of the base of the building left a covered plaza under the brick shell, which now appears to float above the street level. This sheltered space under the CaixaForum offers its shade to visitors who want to spend time or meet outside and is at the same time the entrance to the Forum itself. Problems such as the narrowness of the surrounding streets, the placement of the main entrance, and the architectural identity of this contemporary art institution could be addressed and solved in a single urbanistic and sculptural gesture.
The separation of the structure from the ground level created two worlds; one below and the other above the ground. The "underworld" buried beneath the topographically landscaped plaza provides space for a theater/auditorium, service rooms, and several parking spaces.
The multi-storied building above ground houses the entrance lobby and galleries, a restaurant and administrative offices. There is a contrast between the flexible and loft-like character of the exhibition spaces and the spatial complexity of the top floor with its restaurant/bar and the offices.
The new CaixaForum will house expanded programming that includes
music, literature, film, and social and educational programs,
similar to the mix at its sister center in Barcelona.
The opening show includes 37 works by contemporary artists such as Cindy Sherman, Cornelia Parker, Richard Long, Anselm Kiefer and Georg Baselitz (until April 6, 2008).

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Gabriele Negro in my studio. He's an Italian piano genius who also produces electronic music for fashion labels (ex. Dolce & Gabbana). Since he was a small child he has been able to play anything he hears instantly. His parents realized he was special when he started playing the television commercials he heard on his toy piano. He was soon shipped off to Berkley and today he's one of the best in the world.
I'm finishing up my next album and I decided to cover a song I always loved. Gabri jotted down the main melody for me.
Can you guess the song?

MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. - Have you ever met one of those people who brag about how much they save, or how many coupons they use? Two women from Macomb County invited Local 4 into their home to reveal some of their secrets.
"I got razors, tissues, gel, many types of toothbrushes," said couponer Linda Lljuljdjurag.
The list goes on, and on and on. So, how much has Lljuljdurag paid for each item?
"Close to free, as close to free as it gets," Lljuljdjurag said. "I have not paid more than a couple of dollars."
"We have more than enough what we need," said Andrea Lljuljdjurag, Linda's sister-in-law.
The two woman never used coupons a few years ago, but that sure has changed. Now, every week they get together to clip coupons and make a strategy -- yes, there really is a strategy in using coupons.
"That's where I like to tell a lot of people that are just starting couponing, that you need to start slow, and if you try to get a haul like this, it is never going to happen," Andrea said.
"Now it is just a challenge," said Linda. "How much can I get for free?"
So, how did they do it? The two super savers suggest purchasing multiple papers to receive multiple inserts, and even going online beforehand to do some research about the inserts ahead of time.
"You go online and go to Sunday inserts I believe it is called. It tells you what coupons are going to be in the paper. It will break it down."
They then suggest stacking the coupons.
"Combining them is called stacking coupons," Andrea said. "For example, this right here is $1.50 off mascara, and it is a Target coupon, plus $1 off mascara manufacture. They had it on sale last week. We were getting tons of Revlon makeup for free. You can stack up to three coupons at target."
The ladies also suggest using your cellphone apps for your favorite stores to save money.
"Okay, this is a mobile coupon from Target," said Andrea. "A lot of times Target will have something on their website that says, 'text the word offers to this number,' and then they send you a link to mobile coupon. See this mobile coupon has $1 off Advil, they even have one for clothes coupons."
Another tip -- follow other couponers on Instagram or other social media sites to find good deals.
"I follow people on Instagram who are avid couponers or die-hard couponers," said Linda. "They have coupons that I may be interested in, and I may have something that they may want, so we swap and it is very beneficial."
For those thinking there isn't enough time to do all of this coupon collecting, Linda and Andrea used to think the same thing.
"It's all about time management. Devote about two hours a week, usually on the weekend or if the kids go to bed. That is the best time, but you have to be devoted to this."
Linda and Andrea say that organization is the key in couponing. If you can't find the coupons, you won't use then, so you have to make it easy.
"There are a bunch of really great websites that we use. The thekrazycouponlady.com is a great one that we use on a regular basis. And they actually have a whole section that just for beginners where you can go on and read exactly what you need to do, how to organize your coupons. It walks you through a match up of a store."
Linda says she saves 60 percent off her grocery bill each week by couponing, and she says that is just more money she can use to spend on her children and family.
Here's a few websites Linda and Andrea suggest using to save big:

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Turns out the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida Gators and all the other jocks jockeying for a piece of the NCAA men's Bowl Championship Series action ain't the big men on campus anymore. No, in this nutty digital age, the red-hot online thing is no longer college athletics, but old-school, throwback university classes with a Web-age twist: They're free. "The course is working out better than I dreamed," Michael J. Cima told me in an email. Cima, the David H. Koch Professor of Engineering at MIT, teaches a free, online version of one of his chemistry courses at the school. "We started with 27,000 registered and it has settled down to 5,000 active students," he said -- about 10 times the number of students he usually teaches in person. Cima is not the only super geek rocking the quad with free online higher ed. MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative, which offers vast swaths of the MIT catalog for free, claimed an impressive 2 million visits in November 2011, up roughly 9% from the previous year. A-list universities are in turn competing with a wave of similar, no-cost higher-ed sites. Big names include the Khan Academy, Academic Earth, Open Culture and what is emerging as the Instagram of free online higher ed, Mountain View, Calif.-based Coursera. Launched this year by two Stanford University computer science profs, Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller, Coursera sits at the top of the Web content class. The BBC, The Chronicle of Higher Education and The New York Times, to name just a few, have reported on the definite smell of money at Coursera. No less than John Doerr, a partner at the top-shelf Silicon Valley venture capital shop Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, is a founder. Doerr is the made new-media man behind Amazon ( AMZN), Google ( GOOG), Intuit ( INTU) and many others. Like other hip, free Web brands, the service has passionate advocates. "Coursera is the change I have been waiting for in online higher education for 10 years," a Columbia University grad named Regina Saphier, who blogs about the service, told me in an email. And based on my experience of signing up for a way-wonky data science class, Coursera definitely has Web game. So where's the investor bummer? That's sadly far too easy. Just spend one minute studying how the money actually flows into Coursera and it's way clear this business will graduate to become the next Netflix ( NFLX), Facebook ( FB) or Twitter. That is, yet another digital brand struggling to make its next dime.

An Arithmancer is a wizard or witch who specialises in the field of Arithmancy, a branch of magic that involves using complicated number charts to make predictions. The well-known Arithmancer, Bridget Wenlock, was the first to discover the magical properties of the number seven. Septima Vector is known to have taught Arithmancy at Hogwarts from 1991 to 1996, quite possibly longer.
Arithmancer and Arithmancy come from the Greek αριθμός (arithmos), meaning "number", and μαντεία (manteia), meaning "divination".
