The term "ozone depletion" means more than just the natural destruction of ozone, it means that ozone loss is exceeding ozone creation.
Ozone2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11993/

The amount and distribution of ozone molecules in the stratosphere varies greatly over the globe. Ozone molecules are transported around the stratosphere much as water clouds are transported in the troposphere. Therefore, scientists observing ozone fluctuations over just one spot could not know whether a change in local ozone levels meant an alteration in global ozone levels, or simply a fluctuation in the concentration over that particular spot. Satellites have given scientists the ability to overcome this problem because they provide a picture of what is happening daily over the entire Earth.
Ozone2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11990/

Although it represents only a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, ozone is crucial for life on Earth. Depending on where ozone resides, it can protect or harm life on Earth.
Ozone2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11991/

In the stratosphere, ozone is created primarily by ultraviolet radiation. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone. There is so much oxygen in our atmosphere, that these high-energy ultraviolet rays are completely absorbed in the stratosphere.
More El Niños May Mean More Rainfall Extremes2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11987/

Researchers at NASA and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), studying changes in tropical precipitation patterns, have noted a higher frequency of El Niños and La Niñas over the last 21 years. In addition, when either of those events occur, the world can expect more months with unusually high or low precipitation with droughts more common than floods over land areas.
Remarks by Administrator O'Keefe at the Earth Observation Summit2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11986/

Remarks by NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe at the 2003 Earth Observation Summit in Washington, DC. The purpose of the summit was to promote the development of a comprehensive, coordinated, and sustained Earth observation system or systems among governments and the international community to understand and address global environmental and economic challenges, and also to begin a process to develop a conceptual framework and implementation plan for building this integrated Earth observation system. When the space age dawned it was clear that the ability to propel robotic spacecraft and humans beyond the gravity of our home planet would open up untold avenues of exploration and discovery throughout the Solar System and beyond. What was not understood at the time was how comprehensive observations of the Earth system from space would lead to a significant new field of scientific inquiry.
Highways of a Global Traveler: Tracking Tropospheric Ozone2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11880/

On the stage of global change, ozone plays the role of both hero and villain. This brief document discusses about the tracking of Tropospheric Ozone, where ozone forms and where it travels have become key concerns for international health and economic policy-making.
Clouds in the Balance2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11860/

This feature article provides a summary of study about the role of clouds in the balance. Until recently, scientists were uncertain whether clouds had an overall net cooling or heating effect on the Earth's climate. But recent studies show that, in the tropics, a "near cancellation" between shortwave cooling and longwave warming exists, which indicates that the amount of incoming radiant energy is roughly equal to the amount of outgoing radiation. However, small changes in tropical cloudiness can disrupt this precarious balance.
Carbon Monoxide from California Fires2010-03-16T15:46:51-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11835/

Large fires can be blamed for some polluted air. In addition to ash and smoke, fires release carbon monoxide into the atmosphere as they burn. This false-color image shows the atmospheric column of carbon monoxide, with yellow and red indicating high levels of pollution. (The gray areas show where no data were taken, likely due to cloud cover.) The data were taken by the Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite for the period October 26-31, 2003.

Two customers who left an envelope full of methamphetamine as a tip for a waitress at a Seaside restaurant Friday are now facing a handful of drug-related charges, according to the Seaside Police Department.
Ryan Benson, of Beaverton, and Erica Manley, of Cascade Locks, were having some lunchtime drinks at the Twisted Fish Steakhouse in the Oregon coast town on Friday morning.
When it came time to pay, they gave the waitress meth in place of a tip, police said.
Seaside police officers responded to the restaurant and the waitress identified the suspects, who were arrested at the scene.
Officers said they searched Manley's purse and found a large amount of meth inside. Police also served search warrants on the couple's hotel room and car, and they found more meth, plus items linking them to the manufacturing and dealing of the drug.
All of the evidence was passed on to the state crime lab for analysis.
Benson was arrested on charges of possession of meth and manufacturing of meth. Manley was arrested on the same charges, plus delivery of meth. They were both booked into the Clatsop County Jail.

Farmingdale State completed the fall 2004 season with a second place finish at the Skyline Conference Championship held at Tall Grass Country Club located in Shoreham, NY. Senior Rich Martin (82) and Sophomore Rob Ray (83) finished in the top seven earning them individual medals and All-Conference honors. Farmingdale finished just six strokes behind Champion Manhattanville College. Transfer Tom Koprowski was the low scorer for Farmingdale throughout the fall, posting scores of 78, 79 and 80.
Martin graduated in the Fall with a degree in Security Systems and became the first Farmingdale golfer to compete four years. The Rams completed a successful spring season winning 9 out of 10 dual matches, including victories over Stevens Tech, Kings Point, Yeshiva and St. Joseph's. They finished in second place at the first anuual Farmingdale Invitational, a two-day event held at Bethpage Red. Tom Koprowki finished in third place out of 30 golfers with a low score of 75 as Farmingdale fell to only Division II Dowling College.
Koprowski led Farmingdale in scoring average, as both he and Patric Santiago had averages under 80. Santiago posted the low score of the year, shooting an even par 71 at Tall Grass Country Club. Freshman Kyle Havas and Chris Garrido posted low rounds of 77 in the Spring.

I bought this T-Maxx from a friend off of another forum who bought it from someone else. It has aluminum bulkheads, skids, bumpers, steel cvd's and integy piggy back shocks that I will be transferring over. I bought a rolling chassis embe for my flm build so I will be taking the chassis, diffs, arms, and 17mm adapters from that. I will rit dye the chassis black probably tonight. I have taken a mamba monster 2200 system off my slash to use with this build. I had problems with the speed control but I just received the replacement from castle today in the mail. I already have traxxas center steel cvd's along with ue knucklehead shock towers, rpm skid protectors and revo rear end links that will go towards this build
From ebay I ordered a red/black embe body, robinson racing 7960 spur gear, stock links/carrier knuckles/servo saver/rx box/transmission/motor mount plate and 2 spc 5400 50c 2s batteries.
I really enjoy building the vehicle more than driving it but I have fun with that too. I will probably upgrade to an rpm true track later and upgrade anything that breaks as I go along. I'm going to need help identifying the aluminum parts that the truck came with and the cvd's.

I got some work done on the emaxx today. Does anybody recognize what cvd's and bulkhead's these are? I cleaned up the integy shocks and put 60 weight oil all around. I'm not a fan of these but they look good. The cvd cups did not fit in the 3908 differentials but i was able to trim them to fit. I won't be able to use the 3908 carriers with these axles so I will be keeping the older style carriers for now. The front is done except for the steering. I'm going to use two of the 2018 servo's from the tmaxx for now. I have a couple of hitec 5625 metal gear servo's but I need to order new gear sets for them.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
cvd's look like rd logics
thanks, well the rd logics didn't work out. I wanted to use the 3908 carriers but the cvd's are too short. I went to the lhs which is an hour away to get the traxxas cvd's and I picked up a couple of hitec metal gear servo's. I tried the stock servo arms but they stripped out pretty easily. I have some aluminum arms but they put the end links to close together so I need to figure something out to use both servo's. I got the truck finished for now. I need to order the tbone wheelie bar because I've landed on the top a few times already. The masher looking tires aren't going to work out. the make the truck pull to one side or the other when going high speed. I have some trencher x's on 1/2 offset desperado's.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
man i'm liking the speed monster E-MAXX with LCG chassis
It's a lot of fun! I think this truck is heading in the same direction but with a regular flm chassis. I picked up some more phaltlines. I like them a lot on the street since they slide instead of tipping the truck over when I turn. Here's a vid that my wife took. 4s is enough for me.

I found a Supermaxx ext set of arm, knuckles and pillow balls on eBay and bought them for this build. Hopefully the rd logic cvds I have will work. Does anybody know that they will?

X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
I'm having trouble getting both Hitec servo's to line up straight. I'm using dynamite aluminum servo horns. when one side is centered I can get the horn parallel to the chassis but the other side will be at a slight angle. I've tried zeroing out both servo's separately while the other was unplugged but I can't get them parallel with each other. How do I get them parallel?
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
Where did you get your street tire/wheel setup???
-Blue X-maxx
-E-Maxx 60.2mph
-Spartan 48.2mph
I got them at two different lhs's. I highly reccomend them!
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
yep same here, except i bought mine separate, i'm just waiting for my phaltline tires then i'm going to gorilla tape the inside.
they don't balloon much. the trencher x's do. I'm going to try the fishing line method on them.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
trencher X have taller side wall so taping or like you said fishing line will do the trick.
My wife told me the EXT suspension is at the house! I ordered a set of UE supershocks for this truck as well. I will probably go to two sets eventually but we'll see. I plan on ordering the FLM chassis before I get home from work (two weeks left) too.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
I found another set of Supershocks on eBay and a set of MIP cvds that work with the ext suspension. This is going to be a slow build

the axels are dynamite and the bulks look like first gen integy i have a set of the bulk on my 3906 vxl truck .both are nice emaxx's did you use the nitro trans in the sceond one ,and nice lowered ford is it bagged
thanks, I ordered a 3908 tranny for this build and the the truck is bagged
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
a little update. I have decided that I will be keeping the stock chassis on this truck for now. I put the monoblock chassis extension on it and I'm thinking of adding another one for even more wheelbase. I think that this will look good with the 1/2 offset trencher x's. The big problem will be finding a body to fit...
I haven't built the supershocks yet..
I started working on shining up the arms. You can see the one that is different. I really don't know what to do next with them. I either want them to be shiny or brushed looking. Any tips??
I need a wing mount for knucklehead towers..
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
Can you tell me what tranmission that is? I am in the middle of getting my parts to convert my 1st gen tmaxx, which is already an 1/8th scale conversion, over to brushless. I am wondering if I should buy just a motor mount to mount the brushless motor or go with the 3908 chassis swap.
I have the original tmaxx transmission and a 3.3 transmission, are you able to use those? Will reverse work if the ESC will provide it or will you need to keep a servo to pull the reverse pin?
Big Block T-Maxx
Savage XL
SWB Double-Loc Servo Arms.
any updates?
I scored another monoblock so they will be doubled up for even more wheelbase and I was able to get one of these:http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/...7&postcount=74
Also, this one will be inheriting the lcg FLM chassis soon. I For now it sits on the shelf waiting
This body was cut short so I'm thinking that If I get another, it will work out with the double monoblock.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
wow thats long now, I thought you would of added an extension to the front to balance it out.
Love the body and wing on that thing slw-svt. Looks awesome! I picked up one of those extensions too along with a bunch of other high end maxx parts ive been collecting to build my basher rig into a supermaxx. Probably going to put the extension on my roadmaxx. Your maxx is definetly one of a kind, I love it!
I've been working on polishing the EXT suspension. It is a pain but it's rewarding. I just ordered some Great Assembly RC 7075 bulkheads!
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
Those bulks are sweet. Got my eye on them too but there not cheap. Probably keep the ancnc ones I already have and modded the front one to work with my shock absorbing bumper set up. With the hindge pin braces and rpm arms they should hold up fine. Im thinking of getting some ue ultralite cases for my ofna spyder diffs but not shore how the cases will fit the ancnc bulks?? But those 7075 are the best out there imo.
That's some info you may find on the UE forums. I haven't even thought about getting ultra light cases. I wonder if vorza/d8/d8t diffs fit in them? It seems like everyone at UE that doesn't run the bulkless setup run GARC bulkheads.
I need to find some skid plates for this build but I'm not sure where to get them or what to get.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
I got some titanium skids on e-bay from here for my basher. 2mm thick titanium. There nice parts. (c.p.m.)
Don't know if you can still get them but I believe there still in business so they should be available somewhere.
You can still get the GA 3mm ti rear skid, but not much flex in those, maybe too strong imo. Found a new rear 2mm hcr ti skid on e-bay. just had to remove the green color. Found the matching front (used but not bad) a little sanding and it looks pretty good, and got it for 99 cents and 3.00 sh. What a deal! You can always get the integy ti skids. I have them on my roadmaxx. There actually nice strong skids if you can get past the name integy. LOL A couple ideas for ya, hope it helps.

thanks! I have these steel ones on my other emaxx with tbone bumpers underneath.
Well I finally finished the knuckles of the ext suspension. I probably spent 10 hours on just those. I used 1500, 2000, 2500 and 5000 grit sand paper (wet) then used mothers polish and a felt tip on the dremel. they are not perfect by any means but they are a lot better than when I got them. I just need to finish three more top arms and they'll be ready to go. I received all new bearings for them and new rpm pillow ball holders. The GA bulks should be in any time now and new knucklehead towers came in the mail. The ones that were on this truck were bought used on ebay and were slightly bent.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
Looks sweet! Don't spend too much time polishing it, you wont want to use it and scratch it up. lol But im with ya, Spent some time myself polishing bumpers and beadlock rings. I admire your work! Its going to be one nice rig with that new chassis!
Nice! You got me going, Now I want to build another truck with all alum chassis and suspension and all the strongest lightest parts I can find. Cant decide on either the UE wide trac kit or (4)Hi impact lowers and (4) racerx uppers. any thoughts? The wide trac looks good with the towers and tie rods inc. What are you going to use for diff cases? Do you know what the difference between the wide trac upper arms and the racerx upper arms is?? I see a little different design. Are they both 7075 alum?
Last edited by EMAXXBRUSHLESS; 06-30-2013 at 08:05 AM.
IIRC, all UE arms are made from 7075.
The racer x uppers are shorter like my EXT suspension to allow for the different knuckle design. I would do the widetrac (I did buy the widetrac for my other build) since it works with most of the knuckles out there including the Tekno ones. UE might be re releasing the full racer x soon which I will be interested in.
I'm thinking about getting these: http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/...ore/13549.html So that I can use my stock diffs until they break and then upgrade to vorza/d8/d8t later on. The reason for those is that my flm truck has those and my d8t does too and I'll be able to have couple of spares that will work on three trucks.
X-Maxx Max6 | EB48.3 | ET48.3 | Axial Grave Digger
Thanks slw, I just read about 15 pages of posts on the ue forum about suspension. Got a pretty good understanding of it all now. Since the racerx and the ext both use the offset knuckles that seem to be hard to find all of them and pricey. I think im going to go with the widetrac gen 2 pro set. Best bang for the buck with towers and rods inc. And still nice 7075 stuff. And probably some STRC alum knuckles modded for bigger bearings and the steel traxxas pillow ball rings like the ones on my roadmaxx to fit the losi xxl axles. This will be my third and LAST maxx build. lol Going all out on this one and build my ultimate basher. Probably take a while but its exciting.
Last edited by EMAXXBRUSHLESS; 06-30-2013 at 12:38 PM.
Awesome! I look forward to the build. What chassis are you going to use?
I just placed an order for those ultra lite diff cases! I think I have everything I need for this build except electronics. I will finish this build and eventually throw together all the stock/left over parts for a truck that I can bash hard without worrying about anything

Satellite Swarm Spots North Pole Drift 80
An anonymous reader writes "A report from the European Space Agency shows the first collection of high-resolution results from the agency's three-satellite Swarm. The report illustrates the latest changes in the Earth's magnetic field and shows the movement of the magnetic North Pole. "Launched in November 2013, ESA's Swarm mission consists of three 9-meter satellites orbiting the planet at altitudes of 300-530 km (186-330 miles). Their goal is to monitor Earth's dynamic magnetic field, observing its changes over a period of four years. The data gathered by the Swarm satellites will help scientists better understand how our magnetic field works, how it's influenced by solar activity, and why large parts of it are found to be weakening.""

Ubuntu Wants To Enable SSD TRIM By Default 135
jones_supa writes "During the first day of the latest virtual Ubuntu Developer Summit, Canonical developers finally plotted out the enabling of TRIM/DISCARD support by default for solid-state drives on Ubuntu 14.04. Ubuntu developers aren't looking to enable discard at the file-system level since it can slow down delete operations, so instead they're wanting to have their own cron job that routinely runs fstrim for TRIMing the system. In the past there has been talk about the TRIM implementation being unoptimized in the kernel. Around when Linux 3.0 was released, OpenSUSE noted that the kernel performs TRIM to a single range, instead of vectorized list of TRIM ranges, which is what the specification calls for. In some scenarios this results in lowered performance."

Three Years Later, Workers Ask for Secret Ballot Vote After Obama Labor Board Kills Card Check Protections
NLRB's ruling removing workers' protection against card check unionization exposed as a farce
Houston, TX (August 12, 2014) – Three years after the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) eliminated workers' right to challenge union card check recognition with a secret ballot vote, the very workers involved in that case have petitioned for an election to remove the unwanted union from their workplace.
In 2007, National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys secured a new NLRB precedent in Dana Corp. which held that workers may collect signatures to request a secret ballot election during a 45-day window period following notice that their employer has recognized a union based on a card check organizing drive. The ruling was intended to counteract coercive practices frequently associated with card checks, which allow organizers to bully or mislead employees into signing cards that count as "votes" toward unionization.
In 2011, the Obama NLRB overturned the Dana precedent in Lamons Gasket.

Nervous about health plan
MILWAUKEE (AP) – Democratic governors say they are nervous about getting the new federal health care law implemented on time. But they add they'll be better positioned in next year's elections than many of their Republican counterparts who have resisted the far-reaching and politically polarizing measure. Most of the two dozen governors from both parties gathered at the conference expressed confidence that their states would be ready to implement the law on time, although they said the work is daunting. Republicans have stated they plan to use the slow economic recovery and the health care law to attack Democrats in the 2014 congressional elections. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a possible Republican presidential prospect in 2016, was hosting the governors in Milwaukee Saturday.

College of Education professor reaches out to celebrity chefsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Jennifer L. Parks, (808) 956-0416
Communications Coordinator, College of Education
Communications Coordinator, College of Education
Posted: Apr 10, 2012
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Education professor Cristy Kessler has been doing some exciting, innovative, and tasty work with the College's Hoʻokulāiwi cohort students. Last month, Kessler hosted two well-known chefs from the mainland. The chefs worked with college and high school students at MA'O Organic Farms in Waiʻanae. The hands-on learning experience culminated with the preparation of a gourmet meal using food from the farm.
With a backstory as interesting as the student-chef collaboration, Kessler said, "It all began with Twitter."
Recovering from three autoimmune diseases that were destroying her internal organs, Kessler is a bone marrow-stem cell transplant recipient. She could only receive the procedure in Turkey, which is where she discovered a television cooking competition program called "MasterChef." Although there were no subtitles, she explained, the show provided a wonderful escape from intense chemotherapy and isolation.
Upon her return to Hawaiʻi in April 2011, Kessler was ecstatic to stumble upon "MasterChef America." Still in recovery and learning how to adjust her cooking and eating habits, the show could not have come at a better time. It was during the end of season two that she reached out to one of the contestants, Ben Starr, via Twitter. He responded within 24 hours, and Kessler began tweeting with him and some of the other finalists.
Four of the show's chefs, including the winner, agreed to come to Hawaiʻi in January 2012 and cook for outreach programs through the Parish of St. Clement in Honolulu. Kessler persuaded Starr and Adrien Nieto to return in March and accompany her on a site visit to Waiʻanae High School. Starr, Nieto, and fellow contestant-chef, Christian Collins, spent the day talking to students about farming and working together on the school's certified organic farm.
"The fact that these kids are learning life skills which include their math, science, culture, and business education is amazing. They will be more successful in life than they realize," said Collins.
Starr and Nieto spent another day at MA'O Organic Farms where they talked with high school and college agriculture interns. Then, they did something spectacular. The chefs picked fresh fruits and vegetables right from the fields and prepared a meal for everyone. The students got a step-by-step lesson on cooking Thai coconut vegetable curry, fresh salad greens with homemade dressing, ahi poke with fresh greens and avocado, Spanish rice and chorizo. Nieto showed the students how to chop things without cutting themselves, and Starr talked about the amazing life skills each of them were learning even if they do not become farmers.
"I never dreamed I would be able to pick fresh vegetables and literally put them on a plate to eat in ten minutes," said Nieto. "Doing it with the kids made it even better."
Starr added, "I fell in love with this school. They are doing incredible things to keep kids in school and transition them to college, particularly in the area of agriculture and culinary arts."

Miami Spice 2014 Guide – From A to Z
The two-month Miami Spice promotion runs Aug. 1 through Sept. 30 at more than 160 Miami-Dade restaurants.
The idea: Give locals an incentive to check out area restaurants during the dog days of summer, when tourists are in short supply. The deal: Prix-fixe lunch for $23 or dinner for $39 (no different-priced "tiers" as in previous years).
Some restaurants pull out all the stops, trying to earn repeat customers by putting out their best food and service. These are the ones that serve their actual menu items or new, creative ones during Spice to entice you back for another spin.
Others are reluctant participants, offering uninspired food (if we see chicken breast on one more menu …) and servers who resent the promotion for lowering their check averages. These are usually the places that refuse to show you a Spice menu unless you ask, and they accept the discount only on say, Tuesdays and Sundays. At lunch.
We're here to help you avoid those places and suss out the very best that Spice has to offer. Here is our A-to-Z guide to restaurants doing Spice right.
For more tips, check out the Miami Herald's Weekend section or Miami.com every Friday in August and September for a Top 10 list of Spice restaurants in various categories.
A: Azul.
An appetizer-entree-dessert combo at the Mandarin Oriental's showstopper restaurant usually costs north of $80. During Spice? $39. Same food. One of the best deals of the promotion.
Dinner Tuesday-Saturday. 500 Brickell Key Dr., Miami, 305-913-8358.
B: Bazaar by José Andrés.
If you want variety, check out Bazaar at the SLS Hotel (just not on a Friday or Saturday). Choose one of five appetizers, any three of 13 second-course small plates, and one of three desserts.
Dinner Sunday-Thursday. 1701 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-455-2999.
C: The Cypress Room.
Rarin' for rabbit minestrone? The Cypress Room's your spot for unique, high-end adventures in game, caviar, oxtail and more.
Lunch and dinner Monday-Friday. 3620 NE Second Ave., Miami, 305-520-5197.

Dinner daily. 3207 NE 163rd St., North Miami Beach, 786-440-7104.

Dinner daily. 432 W. 41st St., Miami Beach, 305-538-8533.
G: Gibraltar.
If the romantic views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline don't get you, the grilled veal chop over truffled artichoke-brussels sprouts hash will.
Lunch Monday-Saturday, dinner daily. 4 Grove Isle Dr., Coconut Grove, 305-857-5007.
H: Hakkasan.
Family-style dining at Hakkasan means the Spice menu includes more "ands" than "ors." You'll get plenty of food, so bring a friend: This Spice menu is for two or more.
Lunch Saturday-Sunday, dinner Monday-Friday and Sunday. 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-276-1410.
I: Icebox Cafe.
Icebox's savory dishes make a fine meal, but its skyscraper desserts like German chocolate cake put it on the map. And for Spice, you get your pick of all of them.

Dinner daily. 9703 Collins Ave., Bal Harbour, 305-993-3333.

Lunch and dinner daily. 6261 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 786-483-1611.
M: Milos by Costas Spiliadis.
At a restaurant that doesn't post its regular menu prices on its website, you know a $23 lunch or $39 dinner is a good deal. Grilled octopus, dorado royale and Greek yogurt with thyme honey would be our pick.
Lunch and dinner daily. 730 First St., Miami Beach, 305-604-6800.
N: Novecento.
Both the downtown and Key Biscayne locations of Novecento are participating in Spice, giving you two places to get your fill of churrasco and fries.

P: Perfecto.
Spice goes tapas. At dinner, Perfecto delivers four first-course bites and four second-course dishes before dessert. Try it all.
Lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday. 1450 Brickell Ave., Miami, 305-372-0620.
Q: Quattro Gastronomia Italiana.
Know what's rare during Spice? Truly great Italian food, available seven days a week, that's not served in a hotel restaurant. Quattro is that rare find.
Lunch and dinner daily. 1014 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach, 305-531-4833.
R: Red Fish Grill.
Here, fishy, fishy. Octopus, oysters, snapper, tuna, swordfish and more make up the bulk of the sea-driven menu at Red Fish.
Dinner Tuesday-Sunday. 9610 Old Cutler Rd., Miami, 305-668-8788.
S: Seasons 52.
Dietary restrictions are often hard to accommodate on tasting menus. Not so at Seasons 52. Vegan and vegetarian Spice menus are available.
Lunch and dinner daily. 321 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, 305-442-8552.

Dinner daily. 555 Jefferson Ave., Miami Beach, 305-672-6161.
X: Xtra.
As in, that'll cost you extra. At Red the Steakhouse, everything from oysters to extra ounces on a steak carries a supplemental charge.
Dinner daily. 119 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, 305-534-3688.
Y: Yuca.
Spice is a great time to try new restaurants, yes, but it's also prime time to revisit old favorites, like Yuca's modern take on Cuban classics.
Lunch and dinner daily. 501 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach, 305-532-9822.
Z: Zuma.
Forget dinner, since Zuma only offers it Monday and Tuesday nights, and instead head for lunch. The sashimi options are divine, and service is spot-on.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) — The federal government shutdown could not have come at a worse time for leaf peepers. Some of the country's national parks -- now closed indefinitely -- are considered the best places for viewing fall foliage.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) — The federal government shutdown could not have come at a worse time for leaf peepers. Some of the country's national parks -- now closed indefinitely -- are considered the best places for viewing fall foliage.
Visitors looking for updates on the parks' foliage cannot even access the websites of the National Park Service.
In Maine, state park rangers are reporting that fall colors are already reaching peak conditions. This weekend is perfect for leaf peeping, and weather is expected to cooperate, with temperatures in the high 60s. But Acadia National Park, which offers the most spectacular views of the foliage from the top of Cadillac Mountain, will not be the place to be.
As an alternative, Maine's Office of Tourism is offering visitors the option of enjoying fall colors through water-based cruises, kayak tours and scenic air tours.
More Headlines
One of the bests spots in the Midwest for leaf peepers is Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio, where fall foliage is approaching its most colorful time. Each day in October, the park's Towpath Trail alone hosts an average of 1,650 visitors, and many visitors have long made plans to travel through the park on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad -- but trains are not running because of the shutdown.
Against the background of the Grand Teton mountain range in northwestern Wyoming, aspens and cottonwoods are also gradually reaching their peak colors, but there are no current pictures to view. Grand Teton National Park's Facebook page, which has stopped giving updates and posting photos of the park's foliage, are inundated with comments from disappointed leaf peepers.
In Virginia, where forests are still mostly green, leaf peepers are hopeful the government shutdown will end soon enough to make viewing of fall colors possible in Shenandoah National Park. The park is expected to show peak colors during mid- to late October. Until the park reopens, however, visitors will be unable to drive along Virginia's popular Skyline Drive to take in the fall scenes overlooking the mountains at the park.

#6 Amherst College - 67, Farmingdale State - 39
Amherst, Mass. - Farmingdale State was eliminated from the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Tournament after falling 67-39 in their First Round game at Amherst. The Jeffs, who are 27-1 on the year, advanced to the Second Round where they will play host to The University of New England.
Amherst quickly jumped out to a 17-1 lead in the first six minutes of the game. The Rams (12-13) cut the deficit to 10, 27-17, before the Jeffs closed out the first half on a 12-3 run to take a 39-20 lead into the break.
The Jeffs extended their lead to 53-30 midway through the second half, before an 8-2 spurt gave Amherst a 29-point advantage, 61-32. The sixth-ranked team in the nation closed out the game allowing only seven points over the final 8:11 en route to the 67-39 victory.
Senior guard Nikita Green (Roosevelt, N.Y.) led Farmingdale State with a team-high 16 points and three steals.
Senior forward Bridget Crowley (Hampden, Mass.) recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 boards to go along with four steals and four assists for Amherst.

Now in its 5th year, Central Mississippi Residential Center's outreach campaign to young people has grown by leaps and bounds.
'Since its inception we've grown from 300 students to this year we'll have 4,000 students,' says CMRC Public Relations Director, Frankie Johnson.
The theme for this year's series of seminars is, 'I Got You.' As part of the two weeks of sessions this fall and two additional weeks of sessions for 10th grades early next year, guests from the Mississippi Department of Education, state attorney general's office and local law enforcement are addressing issues that range from suicide prevention to underage drinking, dating violence and bullying.
'We're the first state in the United States that's come up with a victim profile and has implemented a means wherein the victims can actually receive behavioral science services that will help them with being a victim, and work with them to make it where they are possibly not as attractive to bullies,' says Robert Laird, who is the Director for School Safety with the Mississippi Department of Education.
'If it's taking place at the school, we deal with the school,' says Newton Police Chief, Harvey Curry. 'If they need us to handle it or come in, we will. But if bullying is taking place, most of the time it's taking place at school.'
Almost two years ago Mississippi legislators passed Senate Bill 2016, which mandates that all school districts investigate claims of bullying.
When it comes to bullying, one of the fastest growing types is through the use of technology.
In an effort to end cyberbullying, officials with the attorney general's office in Mississippi say many people don't realize that Facebook is taking steps to help. Here's how. At the top of each profile page on the Facebook there's an icon that you can click.
'What you do is press that little button at the top of the page and it will take you through a series of reporting options and you can just enter that in and Facebook will take care of it from there,' says Leah Campbell with the Mississippi Attorney General's Office.
Students taking part in this year's 'I Got You' campaign come from the 9-county area which CMRC serves.

Well, it's finally here. After being delayed for a year or so, GT4 hit American shelves today. I don't think the game was a let down at all....the grapics are superb like always, there are 650 cars, and the ton of new tracks are excellent. One dissapointment is the lack of an online mode. As you may know, it was planned to be part of the game but was pulled shortly before release. I did read somewhere that they might release an online mode disk that you could buy and install if you have a HDD. I am not sure if this is just a rumor or something Polyphony is working on. As for me, I spent most of tonight watching my dad play since it was his birthday present...but I got to play some as well and it's a shitload of fun. What makes things even better is that I have the Logitech Driving Force Pro steering wheel. The wheel's 900 degree rotation really makes the game so much better. I think this game is going to be a huge success and am glad to say it was well worth the wait.
Final verdict- 8.5/10 <would be 9/10 if it had Online mode.

Movistar's Rui Costa won his second stage of this year's Tour de France today as Chris Froome moved another step closer to overall victory.
Stage 19 was expected to one of the Tour's toughest. For an edition that's already included Mont Ventoux and a double Alpe d'Huez ascent, that's some challenge.
But Portuguese rider Rui Costa raced clear to take the win through a rain swept Le Grand-Bornand as Froome survived a flurry of late attacks from rivals to maintain his 5minute 11second lead over second-placed Alberto Contador.
One last mountain stage stands in the way of a second consecutive Team Sky triumph at the Tour De France.
Saturday's 125km stage 20 journey to Annecy-Semnoz represents the final hurdle for Froome after another composed performance in the yellow jersey.
Stage 19 included five categorised climbs over the course of a punishing 204.5km, and he rarely looked in trouble as he and teammate Richie Porte covered the attacks.
Frenchman Pierre Rolland led for much of the race, before Costa caught and overhauled him over the final climb.
The Movistar rider then negotiated a potentially difficult descent to finish the stage 49 seconds clear of Andreas Kloden - Costa's second victory in the past four days after his win at Gap on stage 16.
And here's a little light relief from yesterday's stage on Alpe d'Huez - a great clip of someone taking out one of those 'runners' who chase the riders along the course...

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Hofstra closed the contest on an 11-1 run to erase a four-point deficit and defeat UNCW, 75-69, in Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball action Tuesday at Trask Coliseum.
The Pride picked up their ninth victory in 12 games as they evened their season mark at 10-10 and moved to 6-3 in league play. The Seahawks dropped their seventh straight contest to slip to 2-18 and 1-8.
Sophomore guard Andreana Thomas led four Hofstra players in double figures with a game-high 23 points. Thomas was 5-of-11 from the floor and 11-of-12 at the charity stripe to power a Pride attack that shot 48.1 percent (26-of-54) from the floor and 78.3 percent (18-of-23) from the line.
Senior forward Shante Evans added 16 points while junior forward Anma Onyeuku scored 13 and junior guard Annie Payton netted 11. Evans also added 10 rebounds for her league-leading 12th double-double of the season as the Pride enjoyed a 41-25 advantage on the glass.
Senior guard Tawanna Lee led four UNCW players in double figures with 20 points as the Seahawks knocked down 28-of-61 (.459) field goal attempts for the game.
Senior Karneshia Garrett added 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to post her four straight double-double. Freshman guard Dana Brown chipped in 12 points and redshirt junior guard Jessica Freeman added 11 to go along with a game-best nine steals.
Trailiing 68-64, an Onyeuku jumper and a three-pointer from Payton on back-to-back possessions put the Pride in front, 69-68 with 2:50 remaining.
A free throw by Garrett on the Seahawks next possession tied the score at 69-all, only to see Hofstra regain the lead, 71-69, on a pair of free throws by Thomas on its next trip down the floor.
The Seahawks would fail to answer on their next possession, missing the front end of a 1-and-1 opportunity and the Pride would take advantage, expanding their cushion to four, 73-69, on an Evans layup with 43 ticks on the clock.
A turnover brought UNCW's next possession to a close and sent Thomas to the line, where she knocked down two more free throw attempts with 13 seconds remaining to push the Hofstra lead to six, 75-69. The Seahawks would miss a 3-point attempt on its final possession, allowing the Pride to escape with the six-point triumph.
Earlier in the contest, UNCW trailed 7-3 when consecutive 3-pointers by Lee sparked the Seahawks to an 18-3 run and a 21-10 advantage. The Pride had trouble holding onto the basketball during UNCW's run, committing 12 turnovers during the 11-minute stretch.
A conventional three-point play by Evans brought the Seahawks' run to a close and led the Pride to tally seven of the next nine points to make it a 23-17 contest. The two sides would trade baskets the rest of the frame as UNCW would take a 32-28 lead into the locker room.
The Seahawks tallied six of the first eight points in the second half to push their lead to eight, 38-30, only to see the Pride use a 22-10 run to take its first lead of the frame, 52-48, with 11:07 showing on the scoreboard.
UNCW responded to the Hofstra run, rattling 14 of the next 21 points, capped by back-to-back triples by Lee to go back in front, 62-59.
Consecutive baskets by Onyeuku would bring the Seahawks run to a close and put the Pride ahead, 63-62. Garrett would catapult the Seahawks back into the lead moments later, scoring six straight points to highlight a 6-2 stretch that made 68-64 UNCW and set up the Pride's decisive run.
Both teams return to action Thursday. UNCW is on the road at James Madison while Hofstra entertains Northeastern. Both games are set for a 7 p.m. start time.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's unemployment rate continued its rapid drop in February, while employer payrolls inched up and the labor force grew after a 14-month skid, the state Department of Labor and Industry said Friday.
Pennsylvania's unemployment rate fell two-tenths of a percentage point from 6.4 percent in January to 6.2 percent last month. That is down from 7.7 percent a year ago, a fall driven largely by the unemployed leaving the workforce.
Economists say not as many younger people are entering the workforce as more people retire, quit looking for work out of frustration or stop their job search for another reason. The jobless rate last dipped to 6.2 percent in 2008, as the recession took hold, while Pennsylvania hit a recessionary high of 8.7 percent in 2010.
The national rate was 6.7 percent in February.
Pennsylvania's labor force, or the number of people working or searching for work, rose in February by 15,000 to 6.43 million, the first increase since November 2012. Employment rose by 28,000 to 6.03 million, a number that is still below the 2007 peak, and unemployment fell by 15,000 to below 400,000 for the first time since 2008.
In a separate survey of employers, the department estimated that payrolls rose by 8,700 to above 5.76 million. That number is still below the total jobs Pennsylvania had two years before its 2008 peak.

Q:I visited my 84-year-old grandmother in her assisted-living home recently, and she seemed lonely. I visit as often as I can, but what else I can do for her? — Irene, S., Tucson, Ariz.
A:Visiting your grandmother is worth your weight in gold (and platinum), Irene. It's important that you help your grandmother feel less isolated. An AARP survey reveals that up to 33 percent of older folks feel lonely. And it takes a toll on more than their emotions; it ups their risk for stroke, heart disease and premature death.
So here's a great gift you can give your gram, and you might want to rope in some of her friends from down the hall: a short course in daily meditation. We have always been big proponents of meditation (we both do it twice a day), and now a study from Carnegie Mellon University finds that when older folks do mindful meditation, they become less lonely and that reduces their risk of health problems. How does it work? This calming practice decreases stress hormones, which reduces inflammation — an all-around disease trigger — and releases feel-good brain chemicals.
So here's how to get Grandma and friends (and yourself) into mindful meditation:
• Sit together in a quiet room. Make sure everyone is comfortable.
• Close your eyes. Breathe slowly in. Slowly out. Do not strain.
• Now gently tense your toes as you breathe in. Relax them as you breathe out. Repeat this tense-and-relax pattern as you move slowly up your body to your face.
• Now try to let your mind go blank. When thoughts start popping up, exhale through your nose or mouth to the count of 1-2-3, and expel the thoughts with your breath. As you exhale, make a sound — OMM, if you like.
• Now sit peacefully for five minutes. Breathing in and out, letting your mind release your thoughts. That's it!
Another inexpensive and effective way to help your gram feel connected is through online video chats. See if the assisted-living facility can set up a few stations, so your grandmother (and other residents) can see and talk with friends and family every day.
Q:Every time I pick up the paper it seems there's some mention that a food is contaminated with deadly bacteria. Now it's apple slices; before it was melons and spinach. What's going on, and what can I do to protect my family? — Charlene J., Charleston, N.C.
A:The apple slices (melons, etc.) were infected with bacteria called listeria (not E. coli or salmonella, the other food-borne bacteria that cause trouble). Listeria can cause gastrointestinal problems and spread through the body, triggering sepsis, meningitis, fever, aches and pains, confusion, loss of balance and even convulsions. This infection generally hits the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, their fetuses and newborns. In 2011, listeria-contaminated melons made 146 people sick; 30 died. Recently, fast-food chains removed contaminated apple slices from most outlets.
If you want to protect your family from listeria (and other food-borne infections), follow these safety tips.
• Thoroughly rinse raw fruits and vegetables before eating, cutting, peeling or cooking.
• In the fridge, keep cooked and uncooked foods separated, and all produce separate from meats. Listeria can grow in the fridge — unless it is 40 F or below. Check the temperature regularly with a thermometer. And clean up all spills in the fridge immediately.
• Counters and cutting boards should be washed with soap before and after putting uncooked foods on them.
• Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds after touching and preparing any food.
• Don't hang on to leftovers and deli-sliced meats for more than four days.
• Pregnant women should avoid all packaged meats, hot dogs and smoked fish.
• You can't know for sure that restaurant foods are infection-free, but try to stick to healthy, fresh foods prepared in a clean environment.

Bernanke, the election and risk assets: James Saft
By James Saft
(Reuters) – Now we have the pre-election Federal Reserve meeting out of the way, we can go back to worrying about the real issue.
Not who will be president, but who that president will slot in to park in Ben Bernanke's parking spot when his term as Federal Reserve Chairman runs out in January 2014.
The New York Times this week reported Bernanke telling friends he is unlikely to stand for a third term as Fed chief, opening up the likelihood of a new person in the role in 2014 no matter who is elected president.
Markets are jittery about the potential for a transition, and they are right to be. Bernanke's policies, for good or ill, are a good part of the foundation underpinning current risk asset valuations. Anything which increases the chances they will be cut short does, and will, hurt equity valuations.
The Fed, as expected, did little, leaving rates on hold at virtually zero, a commitment they've made until at least mid-2015, and reiterating their pledge to buy $40 billion a month of mortgage bonds. The only change of real note in their statement was an acknowledgement that growth in business investment, in contrast to housing, is on the wane. Jeffrey Lacker, a frequent dissenter, did so again, but the Richmond Fed President will rotate off the slate of voters next year anyway.
You wouldn't expect them to make a big splash just two weeks ahead of the election, and the Fed still has an opportunity at its December meeting to extend its program of buying Treasuries into 2013. They almost certainly will, no matter who wins, as stopping Treasury purchases would be tantamount to a tightening just ahead of the negotiations around the fiscal cliff.
So now back to the incessant horse race reporting on the election, and the sub-set of that of predicting who each candidate would appoint if given the opportunity. There were suggestions that uneasiness over this was in part behind the selloff on markets earlier this week, with particular concern over whether a Romney-shaped Fed would hold with extraordinary measures.
"I would want to select someone who was a new member," Romney said of the top job at the Fed in August, and "someone who shared my economic views". Romney said he was looking for someone to give "monetary stability that leads to a strong dollar and confidence that America is not going to go down the road that other nations have gone down, to their peril."
First off, I wouldn't take Romney's comment about wanting a strong dollar overly seriously. That is likely campaign talk, and his aggressive stance over Chinese currency management shows he is well aware of what makes the U.S. more or less competitive.
Though Romney and his backers have criticized the Fed for being overly loose, this may be an instance where what seems loose when running in opposition seems about right when presiding over the economy, and possibly over some deepish cuts in spending.
Far better from an incumbent's perspective to let the Fed stay loose and be able to take credit for any progress on the budget than to find your job of cutting deficits made more difficult by contractionary monetary policy.
All of this argues that a Romney White House is more likely to appoint a Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush, or a Gregory Mankiw, who succeeded Hubbard in that job, than a John Taylor, the Stanford economist and Fed critic.
And that's if Romney gets the job. Polls and betting exchanges still seem to favor Obama, and a second term would likely result in a Fed chief who is another shade of Bernanke, in other words more of the same.
To be sure, there are few people with fuller credentials than Bernanke to oversee extraordinary monetary policy, and certainly none with a stronger motivation to see these policies vindicated.
As such, almost no matter whom a second-term Obama nominates as the new Fed chief, this person will represent a risk, at least from the point of view of those who are long riskier assets. Unless it was a famous dove, and it won't be, the new Fed chairman just might be less entrenched in his or her commitment to quantitative easing.
That's a small risk, but equity valuations today rest on a narrow foundation. Expect markets to continue to quiver when Fed succession is mentioned.

Alex Ovechkin, as the highest-profile Russian athlete in Sochi, is under some pressure. If Monday was any indication, he's handling it well.
Ovechkin, like the rest of the NHL Olympians, arrived on Monday, then practiced immediately. Here are some other highlights of his afternoon:
— "The situation is simple: You have to enjoy your moment and enjoy your time."
— A win for Russian would "mean gold only cost $50 billion."
— On whether he's in the best shape of his life: "No. But will be in three days."
— On jet lag: "The pressure is going to come 100% but right now we just have jet lag. We have a different time right now. I'm pretty sure you guys had the same thing for a couple days … Right now we just don't realize what's going on but I'm pretty sure (Tuesday) is going to be better."
Also, his skates are rad.

As for actual hockey-specific stuff, Ovechkin started the day on a line with Evgeni Malkin and Alexander Semin. That's not bad. Here are the rest of Russia's initial combos minus captain Pavel Datsyuk, who is expected to play despite a groin injury.
Vladimir Tarasenko-Artem Anisimov-Nikolai Kulemin
Alexander Radulov-Aleksandr Svitov-Ilya Kovalchuk

They dot the Chambersburg landscape like freckles on a red-headed teenager.
Bars with troubled pasts, an ugly presence and predictable violent futures.
If there has not been a stabbing, shooting, or raid by an alphabetical list of state, county or federal agencies in your joint just sit tight, order another round of Coronas or chicas, and wait.
We can end all the politically correct mystery and intrigue from a Trentonian bar story that did not mention these establishments by name: most are either in the Burg or a South Ward neighborhood.
These drinking problems combine with one-part immigration and one-part law enforcement with a blood-eyed rum chaser.
Several years ago, South Ward Councilman George Muschal and community activist Juan Martinez documented criminal activity in many of these establishments before being accused of meddling.
Police said the pair had corrupted or interrupted covert investigations by the Trenton Police Department.
Loose lips had somehow sank tips. Police officials claimed their operation had been sabotaged.
Accusations floated around this city like yesterday�s snowflakes as several police critics suggested that some cops were, ahem, looking the other way regarding overpriced drinks and the bar girls who served them.
Other testimony existed about a sex trade being ramped up in Chambersburg as a male-dominant undocumented alien population sought female companionship for a drink, a dance or a hanky-spanky rendezvous on a nearby flophouse mattress.
Allegations included vans filled with girls being pumped into the city�s mainstream of corruption � girls from Newark and New York.
Life and sanity still teeter as the Burg holds on.
Chambersburg needs a 12-step program with everybody from police Director Ralph Rivera to bar owners prepared to voice that one fantastic admission.
Our lives are unmanageable with these bars out of control.
Two men were stabbed outside a Chambersburg bar Monday morning with such an abundance of blood on the sidewalk that police called firefighters to wash away the stains.
Now, the bar owner�s going to tell you that the violence did not happen inside his place.
Sure, maybe his property but not inside the bar. Yes, with an outpouring of his whiskey and draft beer. But not inside his place.
Someone with contact information for East Ward Councilwoman Verlina Reynolds Jackson should inform her about the continued deteriortion of this once proud neighborhood.
Instead of cutting the mayor�s salary, maybe city council should establish an agenda to extract bars from salvageable communities before the bar patrons drown us in urine, broken bottles and gunfire.
And knifings. Don�t forget the knifings.

1.) When Bella compared being hunted by Victoria this spring break to being hunted by James last spring break, what did you think might happen?
..I figured she had just made an interesting comparison. And I was thinking the Cullens would come back and Victoria would die.
2.) What did you think about Jacob calling himself a monster?
That he is not a monster. Wolves aren't monsters, and he protects people.
3.) What did you think about Jacob's reaction when he realized Bella had been bitten by James? What do you think he was thinking at the time?
I think he was thinking how horrible and disgusting that is and he probably got so mad. I can understand his point of view, I expected him to act like that.
4.) How did you feel when Bella told Jacob about the Cullens' extra abilities? Do you think she should or shouldn't have given him so much information?
I thought she should have, she didn't think they would ever come back, and if they were fighting vampires they should know they could have abilities like that and be prepared. I didn't see anything wrong with her telling him.
5.) What were you thinking when Bella jumped off the cliff? When she saw Edward in the water? Did you think, as she did, that she was about to die?
..Well then what would happen to the rest of the book, right when the plot is getting ready for more stuff to happen? And what on earth would #3 be about??? I figured Edward would come and save her.
I was enjoying myself. I was amused by her insanity. I was thinking, 'Ha, Edward, in your face. See what happens when you do this to her?? Not safe, come back NOW.'

Coughing is an important way to keep your throat and airways clear. But too much coughing may mean you have a disease or disorder.
Some coughs are dry. Others are productive. A productive cough is one that brings up mucus. Mucus is also called phlegm or sputum.
Coughs can be either acute or chronic:
- Acute coughs usually begin rapidly and are often due to a cold, flu, or sinus infection. They usually go away after 3 weeks.
- Subacute coughs last 3 to 8 weeks.
- Chronic coughs last longer than 3 weeks.
Causes of Cough
Common causes of coughing are:
- Allergies that involve the nose or sinuses
- Asthma and COPD (emphysema or chronic bronchitis)
- The common cold and flu
- Lung infections such as pneumonia or acute bronchitis
- Sinusitis with postnasal drip
Other causes include:
- ACE inhibitors (medication used to treat highblood pressure, heart failure, or kidney diseases)
- Cigarette smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Lung cancer
- Lung disease such as bronchiectasis or interstitial lung disease
Home Care
If you have asthma or another chronic lung disease, make sure you are taking medicines prescribed by your doctor.
Here are some tips to help ease your cough:
- If you have a dry, tickling cough, try cough drops or hard candy. Never give these to a child under age 3, because they can cause choking.
- Use a vaporizer or take a steamy shower. These increase moisture in the air and help soothe a dry throat.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Liquids help thin the mucus in your throat making it easier to cough it up.
- Do not smoke and stay away from secondhand smoke
Medicines you can buy on your own include:
- Guaifenesin helps break up mucus. Drink lots of fluids if you take this medicine.
- Decongestants help clear a runny nose and relieve postnasal drip. Check with your doctor before taking decongestants if you have high blood pressure.
- Talk to your child's doctor before you give a child 6 years old or younger an over-the-counter cough medicine, even if it is labeled for children. These medicines likely do not work for children, and can have serious side effects.
If you have seasonal allergies, such as hay fever:
- Stay indoors during days or times of the day (usually the morning) when airborne allergens are high.
- Keep windows closed and use an air conditioner.
- Do not use fans that draw in air from outdoors.
- Shower and change your clothes after being outside.
If you have allergies year-round, cover your pillows and mattress with dust mite covers, use an air purifier, and avoid pets and other triggers.
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call 911 if you have:
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Hives or a swollen face or throat with difficulty swallowing
Call your doctor right away if a person with cough has any of the following:
- Heart disease, swelling in your legs, or a cough that gets worse when you lie down (may be signs of heart failure)
- Have come into contact with someone who has tuberculosis
- Unintentional weight loss or night sweats (could be tuberculosis)
- An infant younger than 3 months old who has a cough
- Cough lasts longer than 10 to 14 days
- Cough that produces blood
- Fever (may be a sign of a bacterial infection that requires antibiotics)
- High-pitched sound (called stridor) when breathing in
- Thick, foul-smelling, yellowish-green phlegm (could be a bacterial infection)
- Violent cough that begins rapidly
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The health care provider will ask about your cough, including:
- Are you coughing up blood? (How much, how often)
- Do you bring up any mucus/sputum when you cough? What does it look like? Is it thick and hard to cough up? How much sputum do you produce per day?
- Is the cough severe? Is the cough dry?
- Do you have a fever?
- Does the cough sound like a seal barking?
- What is the pattern of the cough? Did it begin suddenly? Has it been increasing recently? Is the cough worse at night? When you first wake up?
- How long has the cough lasted?
- Is the cough worse when you are lying on one side?
- Do you have sudden attacks of coughing with gagging and vomiting?
- What other symptoms do you have?
The health care provider will examine your ears, nose, throat, and chest.

Terrified the future could repeat itself: "Casey doesn't get up any morning without wondering, why did this happen?" said Casey and Matthew Caswell's attorney William Campbell.
Campbell says they're doing everything they can to make sure their 7-month-old son Matthew Caswell II stays out of the foster care system which led to Ricky Holland's murder: "They live in an apartment now. Matthew has a part-time job. He's looking for full-time employment."
But keeping the baby out of the same system Casey's five older children were involved in may still mean giving up their parental rights.
"The prosecutor presented an option for a relative adoption. Apparently this relative came from out of the blue."
Court was quickly adjourned because the Caswells and DHS representatives want more time to consider an offer made by a distant cousin for an open adoption.
"The possible outcomes are, the parents would release their parental rights, or they can sit there and say, we chose not to release our rights, and we would like to have this matter schedule for a full hearing," said Judge George Economy.
"The Caswells are going to work with their counselors and ministers to determine not only what is in their best interest, but more importantly, what is in Matthew's best interest."
