Drinking Songs
File these two under "beer drinkers are pretty f***in' cool". First, Deschutes Brewery, a craft brewer from Bend, Oregon, is no stranger to culture. They've produced this short film about two hipsters roadtripping through Oregon "from Black Butte to Mirror Pond to Green Lakes", all incidentally landmarks that their beers are named after. Their proudest namesake, however, is the Deschutes, a majestic central Oregon river that the people at the brewery are dedicated to conserving. In their latest effort, they're rounding up indie artists to record and produce covers of river songs on the river itself. First up is Eric D. Johnson of The Fruit Bats with his rendition of The Byrds' "Ballad of Easy Rider". [via DraftMag] There are more Deschutes River Recordings on the horizon, but if you can't wait for your beer-inspired ballads, check out this original diddy from Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers, a San Francisco "rock/country/soul"… Read More »
POTUS Potable 2: THE REVEAL
Three day weekends rock, but you also miss a few things: Monday traffic, that coworker you have a creepy crush on, that coworker you have a creepy crush on, that coworker you- get out of my head!- and news. It is a statistical approximation that over 70% of office drones receive a majority of their news from aimless clicking every Monday morning. No Monday? No news. Which is why you may have missed this juicy deet: on Saturday, September 1st, the White House released two of their buzzed about home brew recipes in a blog post by Sam Kass, White House Assistant Chef and the Senior Policy Advisor for Healthy Food Initiatives (Click through for the recipes as well as a video worth the watch for any homebrew fanatic). [via The White House] You can catch up on Presidential beer news here, but we've also got a few new details, in light of the news:… Read More »
Brew's News
Tampa's in the news this week! Hm? Not sure what an "RNC" is and I don't believe in hurricanes, but SweetWater Brewing Co., Atlanta's favorite beer factory, has announced a trek south as it expands to Tampa and Orlando this fall. BeerPulse reports that SweetWater's flagship pale ale, 420, will be rolling out on Tampa taps in October and Orlando's in November. IPA and Blue will later follow suit, and each will be available in 6-pack. This is all thanks to the brewery's "new 250-barrel brew house and the addition of a slew of fermentation tanks." And since we're focusing locally, it's worth noting to all Atlanta readers that Sweetwater's new rye IPA, "LowRYEder", will be kicking off next Saturday, September 8th with a launch party and car show. If I were in the ATL, I'd be there (not that I'm a huge car fan; I just miss The George… Read More »
POTUS Potables
In a re-election year, everything POTUS comes under speculation at some point, and 2012 is no different. This is a booze blog and not an anything else blog, so I tend to shy from topics that may distract or overpower our beloved subject matter, but I can no longer ignore them: beer coverage in the 2012 election has reached a critical mass. It's time for action. [JIM WATSON / AFP- GETTY IMAGES; Time article] Let's catch up: -Back in February, POTUS Beer came on the scene when President Obama served his homebrewed White House Honey Ale to partygoers alongside offerings from Green Bay and Pennsylvania's own Yuengling. [via Draft Mag, Gawker, Obama Foodorama] -The topic of Presidential Brews laid low for a while, coming back into the spotlight when he visited Ziggy's Bar in Amherst, Ohio, and made safe, but ultimately not his own decisions on what to drink….

Brewchelor's Degree
The official summer doesn't end until September 21st, but that means nothing for most of us. Summer is done when school starts. Whether you're ushering kiddies off to middle school (bless you), about to start your final year of college (f*** you), or somewhere in between (I feel you), that summer buzz dies when the first bell rings. But what if it didn't? What if back-to-school was just a time to continue the party, or at least the science behind the party? For anyone lucky and bold enough to pursue a degree in fermentation science, this fantasy is the reality. After dabbling in three rounds of my own homebrew (IPA, Dubbel, Porter, in case you're wondering), I can't say I haven't itched to test and grow my knowledge in a classroom setting, but three things are keeping my silly dreams at bay: 1. I'm already living out one set of… Read More »
Pints of Positivity
2012: An election year, and the supposed end of the world. You're bound to find some articles with titles like "12 Real Signs of the Apocalypse†or "7 Pieces of Legislation [Candidate] Has Passed That Will Make it Legal to Kick You in the Nutsâ€. Frankly, it can all be very depressing and, even worse, repetitive. So considering all the negativity running around our newsfeeds, it's nice to see that the beer world has kept things positive. Without further ado… 3 Ways Beer Is Still Awesome 1. Craft beer is on the upswing. According last week's press release from The Brewer's Association (via BrewPulse), " Dollar sales [for small and independent craft brewers] were up 14 percent in the first half of 2012, while volume of craft brewed beer sold jumped 12 percent during that same time period.†This is excellent news! Despite "this economyâ€, people are still coming out… Read More »
Beer 2.0
Remember back in October when I shared the fun, but ultimately useless website, WhereTheF***ShouldIGoForDrinks (blogpost here, website here)? Well, beer-loving hackers are at it again as two brew-friendly geek endeavors have gone public in the past week. 1. Pubdar In many ways, Pubdar is similar to WTFSIGFD. It's British and not too practical, but potential for loads of fun. The mobile app (by Google Play developer, Pinecone) is extremely simple: activate the app (available only for Android at press time) and a green diamond against a red brick facade locks on and points to the closest pub to your current location. If you're not feeling that bar (the app also tells you the name of the chosen watering hole), you can hit "Next pub" and the app will point to the next closest. PROS: -Unlike WTFSIGFD, this an app instead of a website, and actually useful while "in the field"…. Read More »
JD: Nice Guy
You don't need it. You probably don't even want it. But I'm here today with a new reason to drink Jack Daniel's! Apparently, they're nice guys? In a July 23rd Businessweek article by Claire Saddath, it was revealed that, when it comes to trademark violations, Jack Daniel's is actually pretty easy-going. This is especially surprising as they get ripped off all the time. Anyone who's been on a college campus in the past ten years will remember seeing a multitude of greek organization–or even academic club–t-shirts riffing on the iconic black and white logo. In the article, David Gooder, managing director of the chief trademark counsel for Jack Daniel's, has a refreshing take on handling violations: "We get so many infringement situations a year, and we look at each of them separately. We don't have a standard approach to them; we just do what we think is the most fair…. Read More »
Eco-Friendly Empties
It may surprise you to find out that I am a passive environmentalist. I'm not out chaining myself to corrupt corporations or holding one of those annoying clipboards on a street corner, but I do very much love recycling. It's one of those things that leaves a feel-good buzz of productivity while requiring little no energy on my part. Me:   "Where should I put this bottle?†You: "In that brown paper bag.†Me:   "Done.†You: "YOU'RE A SAINT!†Much of the time, I limit my save-the-earth activities to those that can be done with a flick of the wrist, but every now and then something sustainable comes along and, while it requires work on my part, the final product is pretty frickin' cool, so I give in. Which brings me to "beer bottle beer glassesâ€. Last week, while hopping around the internet, educating myself on the state of beer, I… Read More »
5 Slurpable Cocktails
The week after July 11th (National Free Slurpee Day) is a melancholy one. Those of us who partook are lamenting the fact that a gratis frozen slush drink no longer awaits us, and those of us who missed it- well, I don't think I need to spell out the tragedy there. But we at BoozinGear are advocates of forward-thinking! Do not grieve lost opportunity. Let it inspire! Say, "How can I do better? How can I one-up my fleeting romance with complimentary, icy, sugary gloop?†The answer is simple: make it boozy. The only thing better than a free slurpee? A cheap slurpee with a kick.

"Austria pushes international development agenda ahead"
Austrian State Secretary discusses continuation of the Rio process with UN Under-Secretary General.
State Secretary Reinhold Lopatka met for an exchange of ideas with Wu Hongbo, Under-Secretary General in the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, who has been in Vienna to attend the Vienna Policy Dialogue on the role of women in the development process.
"Combating poverty must remain a central issue of the international community of states", Lopatka said. "Hence it is even more important that an effective successor tool to the Millennium Development Goals is developed for the period after 2015. The coming development agenda must address all issues of sustainable development and development financing; all of these must be included in a catalogue of objectives. Together with the Austrian Minister for Environmental Affairs I have campaigned with EU High Representative Ashton and the EU's Commissioners for Development and Environment, Andris Piebalgs and Janez Potočnik to convince them that the Union should pursue the same approach", the State Secretary said.
Lopatka and USG Wu also discussed the issue of strengthening the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of which Austria will be a member in 2013 and 2014. "I am in favour of discussing the further development of the Rio+20 process and the post-2015 development agenda in the ECOSOC. With the Development Cooperation Forum (DCF), the ECOSOC offers a platform for transparent dialogue between governments and representatives from all groups of society - science, business and civil society. It is very important to me that all relevant stakeholders are involved in the future process", Lopatka said.
Austria and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs under USG Wung Hongbo have been cooperating closely for many years and have organised several joint events on issues of international development cooperation in Vienna, one of the UN headquarters. "The Vienna Policy Dialogue on the role of women in the development process contributes to strengthening Vienna's role as a conference venue and seat of one of the four UN headquarters", the State Secretary concluded.

- Year
- 1914
Battle of Tanga ends in defeat for British colonial troops
On November 5, 1914, the men of Indian Expeditionary Force B (IEF B) evacuate the seaside town of Tanga in German East Africa after failing in their amphibious invasion of the region on behalf of the British navy in World War I.
As soon as the war broke out on the European continent in the summer of 1914, it quickly spread to Africa, where nearly all of the belligerent powers had significant colonial interests. For its part, Britain's primary objective in Africa was to gain control of the entire coast of East Africa, the southern half of which was in German hands, through a purely naval operation. In early November, the British Admiralty chose as its first target the town of Tanga. The region's busiest seaport, Tanga was also the northernmost point of the crucial Usambara railway line. Troops for the invasion would come from the principal garrison of the British colonial empire, India. As India's best troops had already been sent to the war's other fronts—France, Egypt and Mesopotamia—the task fell to the inadequately trained Indian Expeditionary Force B, under the command of General Arthur Aitken.
German forces in East Africa were led by the formidable General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, whose attentions at the time of the Tanga invasion were focused on preparing for the threat of a possible British invasion at the southern end of the railway line, near Mount Kilimanjaro. On November 2, then, when Aitken and the 8,000 members of IEF B launched their invasion, only one German company was left to defend Tanga. The expedition's hesitant and blundering advance from their ships, however, allowed time for the Germans to regroup and for Lettow-Vorbeck to send seven companies by the morning of November 4, with two more scheduled to arrive that day.
Organized in efficient Prussian fashion and trained well in the methods of bush fighting, Lettow-Vorbeck's still-outnumbered forces overwhelmed the British positions and forced them into a hasty retreat to their ships. By 3:20 p.m. on November 5, the evacuation was completed, marking the first—but not the last—British amphibious expedition to fail in German East Africa.
Lettow-Vorbeck's campaign in East Africa would become Germany's longest of World War I: He did not surrender until November 25, 1918, two weeks after the general armistice. Despite limited resources—British dominance of the seas meant that few German forces could be sent to reinforce their countrymen in Africa—the legendary general managed to engage his enemies along the coast of East Africa from Uganda to the Zambezi River without ever letting them catch him in defeat.

The Los Angeles Kings, winners of the Stanley Cup for the second time in three years, will parade through the South Bay beach cities — Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach — beginning at 3 p.m Wednesday.
Road closures are already underway, and Manhattan Beach authorities are advising residents to avoid downtown streets and pier lots.
The parade will begin at the Redondo Beach police station, at 401 Diamond St., and end at the intersection of Manhattan Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard in Manhattan Beach. The parade is expected to last 90 minutes while taking a picturesque journey along the famed Strand in Hermosa Beach.
The players, accompanied by the coveted Stanley Cup, will sit in the backs of 15 Tundra trucks provided by Toyota. Two to three players will be in each Tundra, and the mayor of each city is scheduled to participate. The players, who were feted Monday at a parade in downtown Los Angeles, will not hold a rally at the end of the South Bay parade.
The parade route is as follows:
Beginning at the Redondo Beach Police Department, it travels south to the Redondo Beach pier turnaround, and then goes left on Catalina Avenue, left on Beryl Street, right on Harbor Drive, left on Second Street, right on Strand, right on 22nd Street, left on Hermosa Avenue, right on Greenwich Village, left on Manhattan Avenue and ending at Manhattan Beach Boulevard.
Manhattan Beach police Officer Stephanie Martin warned motorists that access to the downtown Manhattan Beach area will be shut down starting at 1 p.m.
"Basically, the whole downtown area from Highland Avenue to Manhattan Beach Boulevard and from Ninth to 15th streets will be shut down till about 6 p.m.," she said.

After 18 years marked by FBI scandal, an international manhunt, and the discovery of secret graves, opening statements in a trial that many thought would never happen are scheduled to begin Wednesday in the sweeping federal racketeering case against notorious South Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger.
A jury of eight men and four women, chosen Tuesday along with six alternates, will report to US District Court on South Boston's waterfront for a proceeding that is expected to last through September, with gangsters, extortion victims, and relatives of the dead expected to testify about a bygone era when the 83-year-old Bulger's name evoked power and fear.
"My nerves are in an uproar," said Steve Davis, whose 26-year-old sister Debra was among the 19 people that Bulger is accused of killing in the 1970s and 1980s. "I never thought in my life, in my wildest dreams, that I would ever see this day. "
On Tuesday, US District Court Judge Denise J. Casper cleared the way for opening statements when she rejected a request by Bulger's lawyer, J.W. Carney Jr., to delay the start until Monday. He wanted time to conduct his own investigation of State Police handling of John Martorano, a hitman-turned-government witness who is poised to testify against Bulger. Casper found that the State Police had conducted an extensive investigation and found no evidence of wrongdoing.
Moments after the word spread on social media Tuesday that the jury had been chosen and sworn in for the long-
anticipated trial, Davis said he started fielding calls from friends wishing him luck and from relatives of other victims, expressing nervousness and relief.
It was an emotional moment for the families.
"I'm having anxiety attacks here," said Patricia Donahue, who was left to raise three sons alone after her husband, Michael, was allegedly gunned down by Bulger in 1982 while giving a ride home to someone who was the intended target. "This has been hanging over our heads for years."
Bulger, who was captured in Santa Monica, Calif., two years ago after more than 16 years on the run, has called the trial "The Big Show" in letters to a friend from jail. Courthouse personnel are bracing for possible record crowds.
The 70 seats in the courtroom are reserved for Bulger's family; relatives of his alleged victims; investigators; a small group of news media representatives, including two sketch artists; and members of the public, allowed in on a first-come, first-served basis. There are two overflow courtrooms, one for reporters and the other for the public, where the proceedings will be streamed live on television monitors.
Bulger is charged in 32 counts of a racketeering indictment that alleges that while running a criminal enterprise from 1972 to 2000, he participated in 19 murders; extorted bookmakers, drug dealers, and businessmen; laundered his criminal profits through real estate transactions; and stockpiled an arsenal of weapons.
"Keep an open mind," Casper told the jury members. The jurors were selected from a pool of more than 800 people that was whittled to 70 Monday after prosecutors and defense lawyers sifted through questionnaires, flagging those with conflicts, possible bias, or hardships.
Federal prosecutors, who had been authorized to conduct criminal background checks of the 70 potential jurors remaining, told the judge Tuesday that 13 had some type of record.
"Some seem like they might be innocent oversights," Assistant US Attorney Zachary Hafer said. But he noted others had clearly lied, including one man who had four felony convictions for selling crack cocaine, breaking and entering, and receiving stolen property.
Lawyers huddled with the judge while discussing potential jurors, so few details on the final jurors, identified in court by their numbers, were made public. Some of the more colorful people questioned a day earlier were excused, including the man who said he had been arrested for lewdness because he locked himself out of his apartment "butt naked out in the hallway." Also dismissed was a young woman who recounted how she witnessed a shooting while smoking "weed" with people she just met.
After the newly sworn jury was excused for the day with orders not to read, tweet, post, or listen to anything about the case, Bulger's lawyer erupted in fury during an angry courtroom confrontation with one of the prosecutors as the judge tried to assert control.
Carney accused prosecutors of failing to thoroughly investigate a state trooper's complaint that a supervisor, Detective Lieutenant Stephen Johnson, interfered with his effort to investigate Martorano's possible involvement in illegal gambling. Johnson was part of the team that built the case against Bulger. Martorano served 12 years in prison for 20 murders and has implicated Bulger in many of them.
"The government wants to cover this up and hide it," bellowed Carney, who slapped the State Police with subpoenas Monday seeking internal reports on Martorano and several other former Bulger associates.
Assistant US Attorney Fred Wyshak said the state trooper's complaint, initially made in an anonymous letter, had been discredited. Then he fired back at Carney, accusing him of being "unlawyerly" and unprofessional for attacking the government and making unsubstantiated claims to the media.
"I hope this conduct doesn't continue," Wyshak said.
"It will continue," said Carney, as Bulger sat quietly by his side.
"Seriously?" said Casper. She said she had reviewed the State Police internal reports and credited police with conducting an extensive investigation that found the trooper's claims about Johnson were false. She quashed Carney's subpoena for the State Police records and ruled the prosecution did not have to turn them over.
Bulger's relationship with the FBI will be a major issue in the trial. The indictment alleges that Bulger developed corrupt relationships with FBI agents, who protected him from prosecution and leaked information to him that led to the slayings of three FBI informants and a potential witness.
The Globe reported in 1988 that Bulger was an FBI informant, then nine years later the FBI acknowledged that fact when ordered by the court to disclose it. But Bulger denies he was ever an informant and insists his voluminous informant file was concocted by his handler.Murphy can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Can Asthma Symptoms Begin During Adulthood?
I have had 4 colds and got a really bad cough all four times. My family doctor gave me an antibiotic all four times as well because I am on immunosuppressant for my RA. Each time I see him because of the cough he listens to my lungs and tells me that he can hear wheezing. He has asked if I was on any inhalers and I told him that I was not. But I do take Prednisone every day.
Last time my cough got really bad and I got really sick so when I called him he told me to go to the ER. There they said that my lungs sounded clear. I had a pulmonary function test done twice because I have pulmonary hypertension but very mild. No treatment required for it just keeping an eye on it.The results were above average lung function.
The reason why he wanted me to go to the ER is because he said that I was asthmatic. I never was told that before. So I don`t think that I have it. I do also get a very bad cough if I go for my walk and it is cold out. Almost as soon as I come in the door I cough really badly for about 30 minutes. Can someone have asthma and have periods where there is no wheezing and normal lung sounds?
The answer to your question is yes. It may be necessary for you to get a special test called a "methacholine challenge" which measures airway hyperresponsiveness of the airways which is a central feature of asthma.
It is also possible you have cold induced or exercise induced bronchospasm and would benefit form some intermittent or controller therapy. I would recommend seeing an asthma specialist (allergist or pulmonologist) for further evaluation.

Apparently marketing does make a difference, at least in the mutual-fund world. With interest rates having cratered as a result of the Federal Reserve's post-recession stimulus policies, retirees and other investors have been scrambling to find investments that will produce the income they aren't getting from Treasurys and other low-risk bonds. Concisely illustrating that very point, Russ Kinnel, the director of mutual fund research at Morningstar, tweeted this today:
For past 12 mo, the amount of $ flowing into funds with "Income" in their name is 3X larger than funds without "Income" in their names.
— Russ Kinnel (@RussKinnel) June 5, 2013
After my own quick and unscientific look at Morningstar's database, two thoughts come to mind. First: Funds with "income" in their names seem particularly likely to be actively managed (and thus more expensive than, say, index funds or ETFs). And second: A lot of income funds invest in the sorts of assets that have been getting clobbered as rates have started to rise – think utility and telecom stocks, real estate investment trusts and (of course) bonds. So we'll see how their popularity and performance hold up as events unfold.

The world's biggest carnivores paid for their size with their lives. A new study demonstrates that conflicting natural forces keeps the magnitude of meat eaters within a distinct range.
Carnivores Grew Too Big for Their Britches
The world's biggest carnivores paid for their size with their lives. A new study demonstrates that conflicting natural forces keeps the magnitude of meat eaters within a distinct range.
Paleobiologist Blaire Van Valkenburgh and colleagues of the University of California, Los Angeles, studied the large animals who went extinct during the late Pleistocene, which occurred between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. The researchers found that the largest "hypercarnivores" all died out within 6 million years, while smaller predator species were likely to survive for up to 11 million years. Being big offers an advantage at mealtimes, allowing animals to devour large quantities of food.
But as succeeding generations grow ever larger, they need wider ranges, and the only types of prey worth pursuing become animals larger than themselves. As the predators grow more specialized at hunting certain prey, they become vulnerable to extinction when conditions change and these animals become less available, the researchers report in the journal Science. Smaller predators have more food options and are thus able to weather more changes. The trend can be seen in modern endangered species lists populated by big cats, wolves, and bears.
Earth Hums to the Rhythms of Its Oceans
While studying earthquakes in 1988, Japanese seismologists noticed that the Earth emits a mysterious hum. The basso-profundo grumble persisted even when no earthquakes were shaking.
Now Barbara Romanowicz and Junkee Rhie of the University of California, Berkeley, say the seas emit these ultra-low-frequency sound waves. Using seismometer data from the United States and Japan, they were able to track the source of most of the sounds to the North Pacific Ocean at the start of the year. From March until October, the noise source shifted to the Southern Oceans, and then moved north once again.
The sounds coincided with the areas where marine weather was the most severe, the scientists report in the journal Nature. Both sloshing water and atmospheric turbulence may be contributing to the mechanism.
Big Climate Swings Could Be Normal
Global climate may have wobbled far more strongly over the past millennium than once thought. Published in the journal Science, the research questions current methods of interpreting climate records. Typically, models of past climate are based on markers like the width of tree growth rings, which have been matched to historic temperature records to create a width-to-temperature scale. Although temperature does affect the width of growth rings, so do factors such as rainfall and disease.
Now Hans von Storch of GKSS Research Institute in Geesthacht, Germany, demonstrates that climate models based on such proxy data don't register wider temperature fluctuations. von Storch and colleagues simulated Earth's climate over the last 1,000 years using a computer model. They then subtracted a few years of data here and there and added back some inaccurate estimates to simulate errors in climate record interpretation. They then used this doctored data to estimate climate using a popular statistical method employed by others.
The researchers found the model removed up to 80 percent of the original fluctuations in the original data, suggesting climate models are underestimating the amount of real temperature change by a factor of two or more. If true, today's dramatic global warming trends may not be unique, and human influences on climate might be weaker than now believed.
Head Lice Links Ancient Human Lineages
Lice genetics offers evidence that modern humans interacted with a now-extinct hominid species thousands of years ago. The two populations may have swapped personal pests through close contact in fights, traded clothing, cannibalism, or even sex, according to a new study in the journal PLoS Biology.
David Reed of the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville, Florida, and colleagues analyzed the ancestry of the two species of human head lice found in modern people, one of which is found only in North America. Differences in the DNA indicate that the lice diverged about 1.18 million years ago about when humans diverged from other hominids. The worldwide louse went through a population bottleneck in its history, while the North American louse population appears to have been more stable.
Lice cannot survive for long away from their hosts, so the hominids they lived on must have endured the same demographic trends. Our species, Homo sapiens, split from the rest of the hominid family tree about 1.2 million years ago and went through a population bottleneck like that found in the cosmopolitan louse. And an early hominid species called Homo erectus, which lived in Asia, is thought to have been isolated from other hominids for a good 900,000 years.
To explain the genetics of the lice, Reed and colleagues suggest that modern humans interacted with Homo erectus in Asia about 100,000 years ago, caught the rarer louse species, and carried it to North America. Meanwhile, populations of Homo erectus in Asia and elsewhere died out along with their lice.
Early Tyrannosaurs Wore Feathers
The ancestors of Tyrannosaurus rex were covered in primitive feathers. A team led by Xing Xu of the Institute for Vetebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, China, and colleagues have found a 128 million- to 139 million-year-old fossil bearing faint impressions of early feathers in Liaoning, China.
The scientists named it Dilong paradoxus, or "emperor dragon paradox," for the surprising link between the fuzzy, jackal-sized beast and its fearsome descendent, which appeared some 53 million years later. But the scientists themselves weren't surprised, as other feathered dinosaurs have been found in the same area.
The researchers report in the journal Nature that both species had broad, square skulls and extremely strong jaws. But unlike T. rex, Dilong had forelegs that could probably move food to its mouth. The feathers that covered its body were soft and hairlike and likely used for insulation. T. rex may have lost its feathers because its great size made it difficult to lose heat. However, the scientists say, young T. rexes may well have been covered in some sort of feathery down.

Audi Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
This could be an airleak after the airflow meter, any air dragged in here isn't 'seen' by the ECU and so not compensated for and can lean the engine out and can also allow the engine to rev up when not desired causing rough running.
As its a mechanical fault it tends not to turn on the fault light and you can sometimes hear a 'hissing' noise with the engine running.
Check the hose clips for tightness and inspect the trunking for any cracks or splits and also all the vacuum system, the small bore pipes and fittings for cracks and missing parts.
The best way to locate a leak is to have the engine running and warm and then spray lighter gas /propane around each joint in turn. If the engine rev's up you've found your leak.
Now you might think that spraying lighter gas around a hot engine isn't wise, however the flash /ignition point of gas is about 400°C so you need a naked flame or spark to set it off and I've used this method for many years without incident.
Work your way through each possible joint one at a time and you should find it. I use a slightly flattened piece of brake pipe and some rubber hose from the can of lighter gas to provide a spraying 'wand' and allow a direct blast of gas into each area, especially those difficult to reach with large implements.
It's also worth getting the fuel pressure checked as if this is low due to a blocked filter or faulty regulator or even a poorly pump will all result in insufficient fuel being delivered to the engine
Might also be worth cleaning out the throttle body as these get clogged up with carbon and some brake cleaner washed through helps free things off.
Might also be worth checking the wiring and connector to the airflow meter for any signs of corrosion or damage. you can do a quick fault find if you unplug the meter and run the engine without it.
if the engine condition is the same then chances are the meter or the connection to it is faulty
Air leaks are very temperature dependent as gaps can open or close up as things expand with heat, so the weather and engine temperature can effect them.
This leads them to be quite intermittent in the case of mild leaks
its also worth cleaning the airflow meter by removing it from the car and spraying the exposed sensor wires inside the tube with a brake or switch cleaner - ensure that the cleaner is one of the old fashioned, non Eco type that does not leave a residue
On no account touch the sensor wires with anything physical as they are extremely fragile
Thanks for the very comprehensive reply. I have a friend of mine who runs a local garage and I will ask him to try the items you suggest to clear the fault rather than rely on a diagnostic test .
Will get back to you next week - hopefully with some good news !!

In the current era of "zero tolerance," public school students who have diabetes have been caught in a frustrating crossfire.
On one hand, students with diabetes need syringes for injecting insulin and lancets for testing their blood glucose levels.
On the other hand, many schools, wary of inadvertently encouraging or abetting illicit drug use, have set often harsh or impractical regulations in place to govern how students with diabetes may test or self-medicate.
In some schools, type 1 students must trek to the nurse's office and give themselves injections while being observed. Both type 1 and type 2 students have to go to the nurse's office to carry out even a finger stick test to determine their blood glucose level.
At the very least, this routine is highly disruptive, both for the student with diabetes and for those around them. Students and teachers are distracted by the comings and goings of classmates who may have to visit the nurse's office up to 10 times a day.
For the students with diabetes, the constant interruptions take away from the time they spend learning. These rules single out the students, both for their disease and because there is an unspoken accusation that they could abuse the equipment used to control their diabetes.
Arizona Injects Some Common Sense
That's why the recent news out of Arizona is so refreshing: Governor Janet Napolitano has signed a law that allows public school students to independently monitor their blood glucose levels in class up to 10 times daily and to use the necessary needles and lancets.
The impetus for the law came from a 2005 federal lawsuit in which a couple sued an Arizona high school for refusing to allow their son to carry monitoring equipment. In the suit, which was later settled out of court, the plaintiffs alleged that the school forbade the use of monitoring equipment under its zero-tolerance policy governing needles.
As well as relaxing the stringent regulation of diabetes-related needles and lancets, the new Arizona law allows volunteers and non-licensed school personnel to administer glucagon in emergencies when students have adverse reactions to insulin.
States Vary, But Federal Rules Set Some Guidelines
Nationwide, there is no uniform set of guidelines governing how public school students with diabetes may monitor or medicate themselves. States and individual school districts set their own policies.
However, federal guidelines do set a minimum standard of conduct, in which schools must accommodate the needs of students with diabetes in some fashion.
The first guideline is a Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP), which describes the medical treatment that the student's doctor and family have developed. A school may ask questions or offer suggestions about a DMMP, but the plan is basically the doctor's and family's call.
Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act bans school districts that receive federal funds from discriminating against students with disabilities. A Section 504 plan outlines how a school will accommodate or provide services to a disabled student.
Both plans work together: The DMMP describes what must be done, and the Section 504 plan describes how the school will allow it to be done. For example, if a student needs to self-test five times a day (DMMP), the Section 504 plan will list where and when those tests will be carried out.
In most cases, school districts insist on closely monitoring what actions students with diabetes may take. Arizona's step toward softening previously strict regulations may set an example that other states will soon follow.

"I pulled the needle out of my gluteal muscle and said out loud, "Never again." My cat turned his gaze towards me and stared. "What?" Even the damn cat knew I was lying to myself. I caught myself in the mirror across the room but I no longer felt shame looking into my own eyes. Sometimes I felt dirty and guilty, other times I felt completely justified and righteous. Mostly these days I didn't feel anything at all; it was just a job and I was a professional. I tested the tip of the needle against my index finger and immediately remembered a syringe I had seen balanced on a hub cap next to the road to Modena. Who would leave their needle out like that? Some drug addict, probably. I caught myself in the mirror again. 'Like you. Fuck.'"
"It was clearly a rental car and it had followed me for exactly four turns. I tried to do a quick calculus; what were the odds that someone visiting this part of town would make those exact four turns? I wished it were daytime so I could get an idea for who was behind the wheel. What they didn't know was that I had a full clip of equalizing force tucked away in the glove box. I knew something about level playing fields whether it was within the law or not. I've never minded losing but only if it was an even fight. In its own way, the honor of thieves is purer than one enforced from an external authority.
I realized I'd gotten lost in another Socratic dialogue with myself (never knowing which speaker was the real me) and had forgotten about my pursuers. I looked in the mirror but didn't see anyone. My neck started throbbing and I realized how tense I'd been. I turned my head from side to side to get the blood flowing and pulled up to my family's house. The rental car was parked across the street…"

The weather forecast for this fall and winter should be good news for Southeastern wheat producers, since the La Niña conditions that are expected usually are favorable for winter grain crops such as wheat, oats and rye.
"La Niña brings warmer than normal winter temperatures, so we'll get fewer chill hours this winter," says David Zierden, the state climatologist of Florida and an associate in research at Florida State University's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies.
"Historically, wheat yields tend to be better in times of La Niña," said Zierden at the recent Central and South Alabama Wheat Expo held in Montgomery, Ala.
The Southeast Climate Consortium, of which FSU is a member, has issued a La Niña watch, meaning it is more likely than not that La Niña will redevelop in the Pacific Ocean in the next one to three months, he says.
La Niña, explains Zierden, refers to a state of the tropical Pacific Ocean in which surface temperatures along the equator from South America to the central Pacific turn colder than normal.
La Niña can be thought of as the opposite of El Niño, in which the same area of the Pacific is much warmer than normal.
"La Niña typically brings fall and winter weather patterns to parts of the Southeast that are warmer and drier than normal," he says.
"Historically, the peninsula of Florida averages rainfall 40 percent to 60 percent below normal in the months of November through March during La Niña events.
"Temperatures over the entire area average 3 to 4 degrees warmer than normal. The onset of warm and dry conditions normally begins in September, and the pattern intensifies as the season progresses."
This past year was a good one, he says, for wheat yields and grain quality.
"We started off last winter very cold," says Zierden. "Florida and south Georgia ranked as the coldest December on record since 1895, and it was among the coldest on record for the remainder of the Southeast. Along with colder temperatures, we accumulated chill hours at a much higher rate than normal."
Later in the season, in March and April, the Southern U.S. was warmer than normal, he says.
"So we were accumulating growing-degree days at a critical time when the crop needed it. But from last October through July, rainfall in south Georgia and south Alabama were running at 50 to 75 percent of normal. However, the wheat crop had enough moisture in the soil to work with," says Zierden.
Crops in parts of the Southeast were already suffering from extremely dry and hot conditions earlier this summer.
The three-month period of April through June was the driest on record since 1895 for the western Florida Panhandle and southern Georgia, while June ranked as one of the warmest on record.
Last year, says Zierden, the Pacific Ocean slipped into one of the strongest La Niñas on record and this was a key trigger for the development of drought in Florida and the Southeast as well as unprecedented drought in Texas and Oklahoma.
Last for two or more years
"Historically, there is a tendency for strong La Niña events to last for two or more years. More recently, ocean temperatures along with wind and cloudiness patterns over the Pacific are indicating that the redevelopment of the cold water is likely after a summer of neutral conditions," he says.
The expected dry pattern could prolong or even worsen the widespread drought affecting the region, adds Zierden. Potential deficits in rainfall during the winter in these areas can be critical, as winter is the primary recharge season for surface and groundwater.
"Warmer temperatures may slow the necessary chill accumulation in flowering fruits such as blueberries, peaches and strawberries but may enhance development of other crops," he says.
"The forecasted warm and dry conditions are unfavorable for the production of winter forage for cattle when irrigation is not available.
While mild freezes can be expected every year in north and central Florida, La Niña reduces the risk of severe freezes in the citrus and vegetable belts."
The warmer temperatures, says Zierden, will result in less chill accumulation over the course of the winter season.
"Warmer temperatures will also mean greater evaporation rates. Due to the jet stream configuration, severe or damaging freezes are less likely during La Niña than in neutral years. We understand that many crops are at risk from an early season freeze due to delayed planting from the drought.
"However, the risk of early or late season freezes does not seem to be affected by the Pacific Ocean."
The shift towards drier than normal conditions becomes much more pronounced in Florida and coastal Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas as fall progresses into winter, resulting in much higher confidence in a forecast of dry conditions in these areas, he says.
"Keep in mind that winter rainfall is vital to the recharge of surface and groundwater in Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas.
While the worsening of drought may slow during the winter months when water demand is much lower, it may intensify quickly come spring.
Summer evapotranspiration rates are greater even with normal rainfall, so heading into the spring with deficits already accumulating from winter is a sure recipe for rapid drought intensification.
"In Florida, where drought concerns are lower right now with recent rainfall, there is a strong possibility for drought to re-intensify this winter and spring. Wildfires will also be a concern, where studies show that La Niña normally leads to an active wildfire season in Florida and south Georgia."
Beginning in November, says Zierden, the Southeast can expect rainfall patterns of from 10 to 30 percent less than normal. "We'll see similar rainfall patterns through the winter that we saw last year."

That was never more true than last week in the City Council, when committee posts were announced. Chairing a powerful committee comes not only with influence, but a nice little cash bonus known in the industry parlay as a "lulu."
Two supporters of Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito's successful bid for speaker, Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras and Councilman David Greenfield, will head up the Finance Committee and the Land Use Committee, respectively. Those are widely considered to be the two most powerful and influential committees in the City Council.
But if you are just handing out committee assignments based on political patronage, are you really choosing the best person for the job?
Ferreras' appointment especially raised a few eyebrows. Ferreras was head of the board for the nonprofit Latino Initiative for Better Resources and Empowerment, or LIBRE, when the group was looted for over $100,000 by then-Councilman Hiram Monserrate.
Monserrate allocated $300,000 of city money to the nonprofit, then took $109,000 to pay people working on his campaign for State Senate. He was found guilty and sent to jail.
But, critics say, if Ferreras couldn't keep track of a six-figure sum in the budget for a relatively small nonprofit, how is she qualified to oversee a budget of $50 billion? Ferreras dismissed the recriminations, noting an investigation absolved her of any wrongdoing. That said, it also did find any "rightdoing" on her part, either.
Another early and strong supporter of Mark-Viverito was Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer, who in addition to chairing the Cultural Affairs Committee, is now majority leader. To give you an idea how lucrative these posts are, on top of their $112,500 annual salary, Van Bramer will "earn" an extra $20,000 a year, while Ferreras will pull in an additional $15,000.
But it's another supporter of Mark-Viverito that City Council watchdogs are saying is cashing in on his early support of the new speaker. Immediately after her election, Mark-Viverito announced that Brooklyn Councilman Brad Lander would head up the Rules, Privileges and Elections Committee, the committee that would be in charge of handing out the coveted committee chairmanships.
Now, some are calling Lander a "shadow speaker," theorizing that he is in Mark-Viverito's ear making all of the important decisions, wielding her like a puppet. Lander bristled at the accusation, stating in public reports that he thought such allegations were sexists and racist, and that if the speaker were a white male such theories would be laughable.
But a new post called Deputy Leader for Policy was created and awarded to Lander. In the role, he will be an ex-officio member of every single committee, a privilege that in past years was reserved for the speaker, majority and minority leaders. Sounds pretty powerful.
Lander will also make an additional $15,000 annually for his "work."
That said, it wasn't as bad as it could have been for those who stuck with county leadership – which in the case of Queens and the Bronx were supporting Councilman Dan Garodnick – and held back their support for Mark-Viverito; only four of the 51 council members missed out on getting some sort of committee assignment.
All that said, to be fair there isn't much to politicking if you can't reward the people who stood behind you and supported you, even if it does gives the appearance that you are punishing those who showed dissent.

Breastfeeding provides the best nutrition for your baby. The composition of breast milk always offers your baby the ideal combination of nutrients and good protection against allergies and illnesses. In addition, the mother-child relationship is strengthened. Therefore the WHO and Holle recommend exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months followed by continued breastfeeding in conjunction with an age-appropriate and balanced complementary feeding. A balanced diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding favours the formation of milk. The lactation is promoted through early and regular nursing.
If your child requires supplementary feeding, or if you cannot (sufficiently) breastfeed check with a health care professional (e.g. paediatrician, new parents consultant, midwife, nursing consultant). The use of infant formula can impact the success of breastfeeding. The decision not to breastfeed can be difficult to undo.
Additional information about breastfeeding can be found, for example, at the Stillförderung Schweiz (Swiss Promotion of Breastfeeding).
Would you like more information regarding infant milk?

Movie Le Tueur Returns to Local Screens
After being well-received at this year's Fantasia film festival, the French thriller Le Tueur is back in town, for a limited run, as of Friday Nov. 14.
It will be shown with English subtitles at AMC and without them at Ex-Centris.
Le Tueur is the story of the unusual relationship that develops between a hitman and the businessman who has figured out that he is the man's prey.
Gregoire Colin plays the lonely hitman while Gilbert Melki is the businessman who asks for enough time to pull off one last deal that will leave his young daughter in (material) comfort after he is gone. The film's director is Cedric Anger.
Le Tueur was recently nominated in the First Films category of France's Prix Louis-Delluc.
Interestingly, one other nominee, Elle s'appelle Sabine, by Sandrine Bonnaire, was shown here at last year's Festival du Nouveau Cinema, and Versailles, by Pierre Schoeller, is part of the program at this year's Cinemania.

Good report thanks. Would be nice if you threw in how far out as well as compass readings or even some Lat and Long...
I was graciously invited to fish on the QuickFish out of Westport for the second Annual "Washington Tuna Classic". What a great time! All the fish were donated to NorthWest harvest Food Bank and many Wounded Wariors were invited to get abourd participating boats to fish for tuna and salmon all weekend long.
Tuna to 34lbs were caught during the tourney with as many as 59 fish being landed on a single boat. The waters were very cooperative with little rise and a long time between swells but the water temps were hovering around 56-57 degrees in most areas...tuna do better a couple of degrees above that so consequently they proved a little scarcer and a might bitten harder to catch then if the waters warmed those few extra degrees. I expect that will happen throughout August. I remember Nor-east Tuna were best caught when in tee shirts and shorts. On the day of the tournament I had on a sweater, a raincoat and coveralls! So if you are going to go, search for warm water and ask others for the numbers as to where they found it.
The tuna were caught on all the typical troll gear from rod or handline and deeper diving x-raps worked very well. Perhaps getting a few extra feet deeper than cedars and clones so the fish did not have to rise as far in there more subdued cold water state.
Wind on leaders were great, cutting down on rigging time, allowing for more versatile rigging and minimizing break-offs. They are easy to use and helped to catch fish that probably would not have been caught otherwise.
Stick with heavy trolling rods if you want to haul in a freezer full of fish but the Albacore averaged 19 pounds and were lots of fun on light live bait rods with not more than a 30lb rating. Spin sticks with straight 20lb are not too light and help get the extremely small chovies a little farther from the boat and consequently...bit a little sooner.
Visit Doug's Bait and Tackle in Woodenville for some good Tuna and boat gear. Talk tuna with Mario V. who is really enthused about building up a great stock of gear for this fantastic fishery. If you need some Wind On Leaders, reel advice or reel tune ups PM me and I can help with that.

For the Thanksgiving holiday, I was blessed to be visited by family members, specifically my four teenage grandchildren who spent the night on my third floor. The two girls took the front room, the two young men the rear-facing bedroom. All trekked upstairs carrying large duffel bags, computers, other electronic gear and the men, a football.
The girls quickly established themselves on their iPhones while the two college men went to the playground to toss the football. When the playground lights went out, they returned to their room to, I presume, enter into their electronic world.
At 11 o'clock the young men came down to report that they were moving down to the vacant bedrooms on the second floor. Their room was "uninhabitable." Why? They saw a mouse! They carried Fred, the cat, to their bedroom to do the right thing. However, Fred couldn't figure out why the boys had disturbed him from resting on his favorite radiator, so he turned and returned downstairs.
The young men's revulsion was sincere. I assured them the mouse would not have joined them in bed and that they should have ignored it. With a pained look and a shudder, Sam rejected my notion that a six-ounce mouse was no threat to a 6'4" young man.
As a matter of fact, I'm rather charmed by the event. This teeny rodent managed to get up to the third floor of a large stone house in Mt. Airy. How did he enter the house? From the basement? Main floor? Could he have climbed a tree and leaped onto a roof and entered on the third floor? But the windows are sealed.
Did he climb the 32 stairs? Did he enter a radiator opening and cling to the hot pipes? And why the third floor? There's no food up there.
With the help of Disneyland DreamWorks, I could interview the mouse and get answers to my questions. This mouse could become immortalized on tape. What shall we call this Oscar-winning film:
• The Adventures of TR (tiny rodent)
• The Mouse Who Can Soar (not score)
• The Intimidator
• The Infiltrator
There's no end to the titles I can imagine for this animated movie; however, when this mouse realizes there is no food or celebrity to be had on the third floor of our house, he'll go some place else. Mt. Airy is a hospitable community, even if the Wollmans are not.
Maggie Wollman is a long-time resident of Mt. Airy and a member of the Lovett Library Writers group.
