An Excellent Return on Investment: Protecting Human Health through the Clean Air Act
Congress is debating whether or not to limit EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act (CAA), and many are wondering if these environmental regulations are creating a burden to our economy. EPA has released a report that answers that concern head-on, and the results are nothing short of astonishing.
This report takes a hard look at the actual costs and benefits of the regulations implemented under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), from 1990 through 2020. The report finds that while CAAA regulations have indeed imposed costs on society, estimated to be $65 billion in 2020, the benefits from cleaner air in 2020 will total $2 trillion – 30 times higher than the estimated costs.
Costs and Benefits of the Clean Air Act in the year 2020
When it is claimed that EPA's regulations cost too much and will harm our economy, all too often these claims totally ignore the economic benefits of reducing air pollution. So what exactly are the benefits from cleaner air that EPA has estimated?
Cleaner air means ozone levels are reduced and there are fewer fine particles in the air we breathe. As a result, fewer people die from breathing these pollutants, there are fewer cases of chronic bronchitis, asthma, and acute myocardial infarction (heart attacks), fewer emergency room visits, and the number of school days and work days lost to these illnesses are also reduced. By spending less on health care and by increasing worker and student productivity, our economy is far better off.
Past studies of the Clean Air Act impacts have reached similar conclusions – that the benefits of reducing pollution far outweigh the compliance costs. EPA's first prospective study found that CAAA benefits outweigh costs by a ratio of 4 to 1. Revisiting those estimates for the year 2010 in this analysis, EPA has concluded that the benefits are in fact much higher – an adjustment made on the basis of new information and science regarding the health effects that pollution in the form of tiny particulates can have. These results (and the methodologies used) have been rigorously and publicly reviewed by outside experts consistent with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and is based on a foundation of more than 800 relevant studies.
The benefits of the CAAA are based on a comparison to a hypothetical world in which the CAAA do not exist. EPA has reviewed the whole of the period from 1990 through 2020 and compared actual and projected emissions in the real world to projections of what emissions would have been if these laws were not passed. EPA has found that the pollution reduction benefits under the CAAA has been consistently net positive when calculated over its full history, as well as in projections of benefits into the future.
This table is a condensed reproduction of the benefits and costs table that appears in the abstract of EPA's full report– the benefits figures shown represent EPA's central estimate values.
As EPA moves forward to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution under the CAA, a reasonable question is whether benefits will continue to far outweigh costs. The one GHG regulation that EPA has completed to date begins to answer this question. The GHG standard for light duty vehicles will substantially increase the fuel efficiency of cars and light trucks, and has an estimated cost of $52 billion and benefits of $240 billion: benefits outweighing costs by better than 4 to1.
Given EPA's emphasis on improving energy efficiency in future GHG rules, it is likely that the regulations will continue to have benefits that outweigh costs. But rather than speculate about what costs and benefits might be for future rules, EPA is required to make this information publically available when the rule is proposed. The forward looking report that was released this week underscores the value of environmental protection for human health and the economy – and quantitatively demonstrates how strongly the benefits outweigh the costs when it comes to responsibly protecting the environment.

transcript:
How long does it take you to spot the predator?
The Gaboon viper of West Africa.
Weighing 18 pounds and growing up to six feet, it's Africa's heaviest venomous snake.
This ground dweller blends perfectly with its surroundings.
Most snakes are actually non-venomous.
And not all venomous snakes are lethal to humans.
But one bite from this viper can kill a man.
Thankfully, the viper is hard to provoke.
And it's waiting to ambush smaller prey.
Hours may pass without it twitching a muscle-but when it strikes...it's lightning fast.
The rat survives the initial attack, but not for long.
The venom will take effect within minutes.
And the dying rat leaves a scent trail for the Gaboon viper to follow at its leisure.
Camouflaged ambush suits the viper well.
Unlike many other predators, it doesn't risk injury subduing its prey.
It just strikes-and waits for it to die before gobbling it up.

Subway Deal On Track With NBC Sports
October 2, 2009: Subway Restaurants said it has signed a multi-platform partnership with NBC Sports that will utilize such spokesmen as Michael Phelps and Jared Fogel and "enable the brand to engage with consumers during marquee sporting events." Financial terms were not disclosed.
According to the QSR chain, Subway and NBC Sports will encourage viewers to tune in to featured sporting events and "make Subway their food of choice for the occasion." Co-branded spots with Phelps and Fogle will air through 2009 and into 2010 on NBC during prime time, late night and sports programming, including NFL Sunday Night Football.
Among other activations, Subway "Fresh Take" features will highlight up-and-coming football players during select NBC Sunday Night Football broadcasts; Subway will be presenting sponsor of an NFL wild card playoff game on Jan. 10, 2010; Subway will sponsor "Game of the Week" intermission reports airing during each NBC Sports NHL broadcast, including the 2010 Winter Classic on Jan. 1; and a series of "Fresh Take" features will air during the U. S. Figure Skating Championships in Jan. 2010 highlighting world-class athletes. Elements of the alliance also will involve NBCSports.com.
"High-profile sports work for the Subway brand in a couple of ways," Tony Pace, CMO for the Subway Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust, said in a statement. "First, it reaches a wide swath of the population, which is very important for a brand of our size. Second, it helps reinforce the health and active dimensions of the Subway brand, which set us apart from our restaurant competitors. We look forward to working with NBC Sports to continue to find ways that drive audiences to NBC and Subway." Back to Home Page

To make the most of the warm days that lie ahead, we plan on doing lots grilling and chilling in the great outdoors. But before we get the barbecue going, we'd like to share a few of our favorite things with you. Thus, without further adieu, here are our current culinary obsessions.

I didn't have to die on mine! For years, our extended family gathering has been ON Christmas Day, no exceptions. That makes it a lot harder as the families keep expanding, and it means I get to spend 4 hours in the car on Christmas Day, what fun. This year, we wanted to push to have it on Christmas Eve or the weekend before instead. I was expecting a big fuss and probably not actually getting it moved. Instead, as we were finishing up Thanksgiving dinner and the ladies of the family were mostly all gathered, one of them brought up "We should plan Christmas." I mentioned my idea -- and everyone jumped on it!! We're not doing it at my grandma's house for the first time this year, because of her health problems, and I guess everyone decided if we were going to change that much, we might as well change everything. So we're going to do the afternoon of Christmas Sunday. I'm SO excited!
There once was a girl from NantucketWho hadn't yet kicked the bucketFor dinner, with luck,She'd be cooking a duckBut first she'd have to pluck it.(It's not often I can post a limerick about a girl from Nantucket on an etiquette site and have it be semi-appropriate)
Buy two smaller turkeys. Cook one for the shared dinner. Let them pack up ALL the scanty leftovers.Next day, pull out and cook the second turkey. Enjoy. Or at least a turkey breast - depending on if you prefer the dark or the white meat.But don't set out ALL the food if they are going to pack it ALL and take it to their house. Have enough and a little more for the holiday - but have enough set aside (even if that means uncooked & inaccessible to their storage container stuffing ways) to set up some planned overs for yourself!
How do you cope with in-laws, BIL and SIL who, after spending Xmas Lunch and eating very well, decide to help themselves to the leftovers to take home. They come armed with tupperware containers specifically for this purpose. It took me a few years to realise where the food was disappearing to as they always were very helpful about clearing food and bowls and plates back to the kitchen and then waiting till I was preoccupied. They do bring a couple of side dishes but always take the more expensive offerings. Last year I actually caught them cutting up the remains of the turkey and stuffing it in the containers, and then the penny dropped and I realised why I never seemed to have leftovers. Its not like they are poor or anything so I was a bit astounded. My mother made a lovely Xmas cake and there was over half left and that disappeared too. They have never hosted a Xmas Day event in over 20 years as SIL says their house is too small. They don't come to us every year, sometimes her sister is blessed with their company and their two teenagers. As its DH's brother I told him he should say something, but he doesn't think its important enough to worry about. I think its just plain rude.
*My mother complaining about my choice of clothes for holidays. They are clean, neat and modest. Not sure why she thinks I should dress a certain way and/or certain colors.

Louisiana Irises
By Dr. William C. Welch, Landscape Horticulturist
Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas
Louisiana irises are perennials that can be grown successfully in every area of Texas and the Gulf Coast, but thrive best in the eastern third of the state where their ancestors are native. They also occur naturally in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Mature plant size varies from 1 to 6 feet and flower sizes from 3 to 7 inches across. Flowers occur in March and April. Because all the primary colors are inherent in the various species that contributed to this group, there is no limit to the color range. The Louisianas, for example, include the purest form of red of any iris.
Louisiana irises prefer an acid soil in the range of 6.5 or lower. They like large quantities of fertilizer and water, but their greatest need for both of these comes during the naturally cool and moist fall and winter seasons. They are among the few irises that will thrive in poorly drained soils, and may be effectively used along streams and lakes where they may be inundated periodically during changing water levels. Foliage is lush and requires heavy fertilization to remain healthy and productive.
Some varieties go dormant during the heat of summer, leaving dead foliage that should be cut back or removed. New foliage will appear again in the fall. Fall is the best season for transplanting. Beds should be well tilled and amended with large amounts of compost, peat, or pine bark. Rhizomes should be planted just below ground level and kept moist until well established. Clumps spread quickly, and individual rhizomes should be spaced several feet apart to avoid need for annual division.
Mulching in the summer protects rhizomes against sunscald. Winter protection is not necessary, but could help prevent the evaporation of essential moisture in northern and dry areas of the region. Azalea-camellia fertilizers are recommended, along with water soluble fertilizers designed to lower the soil pH. After bloom is completed in the spring, the stalks should be cut back to the rhizome. Old rhizomes do not bloom again, but increase to produce the following year's crop.
These flamboyant flowers are attractive to bees, and the visits of these insects often result in pollination and the production of fertile seed in the irises' large seed pods. Ripening seeds sap the plant's strength, so they should be removed unless, of course, the grower has decided to raise new plants from seed. If so, leave the pods in place until they turn yellow-green in July or August, shell out the seeds before they dry, and plant at once into pots of well-prepared soil. Provide adequate protection over the winter, and plant the young seedlings into permanent locations in March.
Although not always available in a great variety of colors, Louisiana irises are sold by some garden centers in Texas. Mail order sources are another possibility. Special plant sales, such as the Bulb Mart in Houston each fall and March Mart at the Mercer Arboretum, usually offer a wide variety of Louisiana irises.

ROSEMENT, IL -- U.S. Foodservice has changed its name to US Foods. The foodservice products distributor said it is attempting to create a new brand identity that reflects its strategic focus on better food offerings and improved service.
US Foods is the 10th largest private company in the U.S., with nearly $19 billion in annual revenue. It distributes food and related products to restaurants, healthcare and hospitality facilities, and government and educational institutions. It markets and distributes more than 350,000 national and private label brand items, and employs about 25,000 people in more than 60 locations.
"Our new name and brand image are a reflection of the many customer-focused improvements now underway at US Foods," said president and chief executive John Lederer. "We traveled the country and listened carefully to what our employees and customers had to say about how we can improve: provide better, more relevant and innovative food choices and make it easier for our customers to do business with us. We believe this is a recipe for mutual success."
In addition to changing its name to US Foods -- which research showed is how most customers and employees already refer to the company -- a new logo and tagline will begin appearing on trucks, products and in other areas. With vibrant orange and green food colors and a bold, simple design, the new image expresses confidence and a fresh outlook.
"We wanted to let everyone know we're on an exciting path," Lederer said. "The new image will remind us of our focus every day, and our new tag line -- 'Keeping Kitchens Cooking' -- will keep our customers front and center."
Lederer, who joined US Foods in August 2010, said he inherited a strong leadership team of industry veterans and has added expertise in strategic areas such as product innovation, merchandising, supply chain and information technology.
Beginning with the immediate launch of "innovative" products exclusive to US Foods, the company is working to provide customers with better products, more intuitive tools and technologies, and thoughtful service solutions and information.
US Foods operates 64 test kitchens across the country, including a state-of-the-art Culinary Innovation Center in Rosemont, IL. It's here that US Foods chefs help customers stay abreast of culinary trends, increase sales and manage costs. In addition, a team of US Foods chefs and product developers regularly travel the world in search of new flavors and ideas to bring home to customers. As a result, US Foods has introduced more than 800 new products in 2011, and in October will launch two new brands including Chef's Line, a new line of chef-inspired, time-saving foods that demonstrate the company's innovative approach to product development.

description: March 5, 2010—Chile's February 27 earthquake caused an apartment building in this small city to collapse, killing 23.

title: Chile Earthquake Video: Aftermath in Santa Cruz

name: Chile Earthquake Altered Earth Axis, Shortened Day

transcript:
In Santa Cruz, Chile, the February 27th earthquake knocked this 3-story apartment building down to 2 stories. Everything on the first floor was crushed. 23 people died here alone.
The Maule region which includes Santa Cruz, a city of about 30,000, and the neighboring city of Curico was one of the most heavily damaged in Chile. Most of the country’s deaths occurred in this region.
It’s Chile’s leading wine making region. And while nearly a million people live here, most live in rural areas.
There are no skyscrapers here, but the damage is very clear… everywhere the eye, or the camera turns.
Even late in the week, there was no electricity, and no water in many of the surviving homes. And food is scarce.
While many roads are re-opened, traveling is still difficult, with dangerous cracks and breaks in the roads blocking the way.
Aftershocks are nearly a daily occurrence in the region, some as high as 6.6 on the Richter scale. This is several days after the initial 8.8 earthquake that sent tsunami waves over Chile’s coastline.
The country’s president says it could take up to 4 years to rebuild from the devastation. And that reconstruction costs would approach 30-billion dollars- US.
President Michelle Bachelet has declared a 3-day national mourning period beginning Sunday for victims of the quake.

Styx and Foreigner are showing their appreciation to the Philadelphia fire department that responded to their bus fire last week.
The rockers credit the firefighters' fast action for limiting the damage, which enabled them to continue with their tour. And to say "thank you," they're teaming with Rock to the Rescue to make a $10,000 donation to the Philadelphia Fire Department Local #22 Widows Fund.
The money comes from sales of their Soundtrack of Summer CD at their Camden, New Jersey show last Thursday - the day after the fire.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jonathan Dwyer may have rushed for over 100 yards in two consecutive games, but he will be unable to practice on Wednesday because of a quad injury. RBs Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman are expected to begin limited practices this week with a potential return for both. This will only further complicated a full backfield. Dwyer has 229 rushing yards on just 34 carries in his last two games.
Fantasy Analysis:
Dwyer is averaging 6.7 yards per carry in his last two games but it is worth noting those performances came against two below-average run defenses. Assuming that Dwyer is the featured back, he's certainly worth a start against the New York Giants' 19th-ranked run defense. Redman and Mendenhall have not played since Oct 11. For now, Redman might end up being the starter although it's best to wait until later in the week to see how these injuries play out.

Wale & David Otunga spar over Twitter
Wale has found a new verbal sparring partner in Jennifer Hudson's husband - professional wrestler David Otunga.
The two have been locked in a ward of words since Otunga called out Wale on Twitter, writing that Rihanna "overshadows" him on the remix to his song "Bad." Otunga also tagged the caption with a hashtag reading "RappersLuckyKendrickMentionedThem," referring to Kendrick Lamar's recent verse on Big Sean's "Control" in which he calls out a number of rappers.
So @Wale adds @rihanna to the remix of. "Bad" and she overshadows him in the song? #RappersLuckyKendrickMentionedThem— David Otunga (@DavidOtunga) August 16, 2013
@DavidOtunga ur wife overshadowing ur career tho— Wale Folarin (@Wale) August 16, 2013
Wale responded by telling Otunga that his Oscar and Grammy winning wife is "overshadowing" his career.
He also said Otunga was "high off deer antler," which is often used as a dietary supplement for its muscle-building effects.

SANTA CRUZ, California / USA (Thursday, October 27, 2011) – After going on hold throughout the morning high-tide, the ASP PRIME O'Neill Cold Water Classic California saw an international field donate impressive performances in inconsistent two-to-four foot surf at Steamer Lane made available via the dropping tide to complete nine more heats of Round 1.
Adam Melling (AUS), 26, made the most of his wave-starved heat and unloaded a series of powerful rail-gouges on a clean wall at Steamer Lane to take the event's highest single-wave score of 9.50 out of 10 and secure his advancement into Round 2 despite struggling to find a backup score.
"That's probably the best wave I've had since I've been here," Melling said. "It's good to get it in a heat and it walled up nicely. It sort of stood up nice so you could do your turns. It was good to get that first one because I knew there were always going to be lulls out there, but at the end I couldn't even get a smaller one."
Melling, current No. 36 on the ASP World Ranking, is hungry to post a keeper result at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic California to vault his way back up the elite roster entering the last leg of the 2011 season.
"I'm aiming for a strong finish to the year," Melling said. "The end of the year is always a bit nerve wracking with the shuffling around on the rankings. I'd love to get a win up here. It'd feel good, I haven't had one in awhile and that's the goal."
Josh Kerr (AUS), 27, battled his way back in to his heat after suffering an interference and launched a massive frontside air, to earn 9.30 in the dying minutes of the heat which proved enough for the win despite the setback.
"There was a bit of hassling going on behind the rock and Cory (Arrambide) and I had a little tussle and we pushed each other too deep," Kerr said. "I didn't think he was going to get a wave and he did and I got the interference. Everyone ended up hassling themselves too deep and I got the best wave of the heat in the end so it worked out."
Kai Otton (AUS), 31, locked in to two consecutive set-waves after a long lull in his heat and dismantled the sloping Steamer Lane walls on his backhand during his first surf at the iconic California pointbreak. The talented goofy-footer's efforts saw him snatch the day's highest heat-total of 15.23 (out of 20), to advance through to Round 2.
"It was really, really slow and I was actually frozen by the time I stood up," Otton said. "I was a little bit shaky, but I was just trying to keep moving out the back. Once that set came it was good and I got two waves in one set, which is weird, but that can be typical California, big lulls and big sets, but I got lucky and got two waves. That was pretty much my first surf out there, actually catching a wave from behind the cliff. It was a real learning experience out there."
Jonny Craft (Carmel, CA), 25, equal 5th place finisher in last year's contest, utilized his ample experience at Steamer Lane to find two set waves and detonate two solid scores to take a Round 1 heat victory. The Central-Coast regular-footer topped Nic Muscroft (AUS), 29, local standout Randy Bonds (Santa Cruz, CA), 34, and ASP World Tour rookie Gabe Medina (BRA), 17, who suffered an interference midway through the heat due to an illegal board exchange.
"I was really stoked that I got my first wave right when the horn blew," Craft said. "That kind of started my heat and got my confidence going. Luckily I got that good one at the end, so I'm stoked. I got a 5th place here last year and I'm looking to better that."

How did you install the driver? apt-get install nvidia-driver?
I have been using Backtrack for a while and have never had any problems installing the drivers for GPU on the computers where I needed it. But on my new laptop I have some problems. I have a very low screen resolution and I need it bigger. In openSUSE and Ubuntu I get a much better resolution. So I have been trying to install the drivers from nvidia but no luck. I just get error each time after installation with x-server. I have followed a lot of guides on changing stuff in the xorg.conf via nano but with no luck.
So what I need to fix is the resolution. I don´t need the drivers for other stuff. So if there is an fix without the drivers I would love that. I have an other computer that do brute with GPUs.
Here is a link to my computer:
Intel Core I5 460M with inbuilt GPU I think.
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 415M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM
Help is appreciated
How did you install the driver? apt-get install nvidia-driver?
"The difference between RAID1 and RAID0 is that the zero stands for how many files you're gonna have after a harddisk failure."
maybe this driver help you http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...-260.19.36.run or this ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...-260.19.06.run happy hunting!!!
I have tried both methods.
apt-get install nvidia-drivers
and direct download from nvidia website.
But always it messes up. But I can try again with the new drivers but I need to know how to reset it back because I don´t want to reinstall again. So is there away to remove the nvidia driver again so it works?
@ Longjidin
I am in the same boat as Luretryne, but the link you provided allowed me to download the driver to my BT desktop, but when I opened it, it opened in a Kate text file. I am running an HP V6500 with BT4r2 as my secondary partition to Win7 on dual boot.
What BT program do I need to execute the .run file?
But does anyone know how to remove the nvidia driver if the xserver fails? Because I don't want to reinstall on everytime I try.
THIS POST in the "How To" section of this forum.
It explained how to run the command that locates my exact graphics card driver version required to run on BackTrack, a link to NVidia to select the proper driver to download, and how to install it correctly so it boots into the good resolution every time.
The apt-get install nvidia-driver(s) only works when the (s) is omitted. I also had some difficulty initially launching the .run file, but I found my way to completely logging out of X to the splash screen where I typed "sh NV" then hit the <tab> key on my keyboard and it completed the sentence to the driver I downloaded. Then pressed <enter> key and it installed.
Though this is applicable to NVidia drivers, Im sure the procedures can be modified to locate other graphics drivers for other GPU's. Anyway, I greatly appreciate the author of that post for saving me from a lot of stress.

Anthony Wayne's Youth
Wayne was named after his grandfather, Captain Anthony Wayne, who had fought under the British Duke of Marlborough. Young Anthony showed military aspirations as a teenager; one day at school, he and his chums were punished for reenacting the British capture of Ft. Ticonderoga. Wayne, who once emulated the British, grew up to lead local protest against the Crown's Intolerable Acts, and at Paoli had a chance to punish the Redcoats — right in his own backyard.

Mother Nature Network, or MNN, recognized the colleges and universities for incorporating sustainability into the curriculum. MNN is an online network that promotes environmental and social responsibility.
"We're very pleased to be recognized," said Bruce Maxwell, chair of the Campus Sustainability Advisory Council at MSU and a professor of applied plant ecology. "Montana State's Sustainable Food and Bioenergy Systems program brings together coursework in plant sciences, agriculture, food and nutrition, animal science, environmental engineering and ecology, which makes it truly unique."
The program started nearly three years ago as a partnership between the College of Agriculture and the College of Education, Health and Human Development. It offers four options -- agroecology, sustainable crop production, sustainable food systems and sustainable livestock production - that each lead to a bachelor's degree in science.
Some experiential learning for students takes place at Towne's Harvest Garden, a 3-acre diversified vegetable farm located near campus. Other opportunities for students include internships with Montana producers, small farmers and other industries. Students who complete the program may choose to pursue opportunities in small-scale production, food safety, agricultural biosecurity, rural economic development, resource conservation, community food systems and health, nutrition education, or food enterprise.
Other universities with programs in the top 10 include Cornell University, Duke University, Arizona State University and Yale University.

Brush a thin layer of apricot glaze over your cake. It is sticky and will help the fondant adhere, as well as adding a really nice flavor to the cake. Add a small amount of water to some apricot jam (a tablespoon or so, depending on how much jam you're using). Heat them together and stir until smooth. You can brush it on the cake with a pastry brush.

Blue Team Defeats White in Inaugural Spring Game
Brevard, N.C.
– The Brevard College football team wrapped up three weeks of spring practices on Saturday night with the Inaugural Spring Football game at Brevard Memorial Stadium.
In a contest in which the defense controlled most of the game, a number of individuals on both sides of the ball had strong performances on the evening as the Blue team came away with the 28-3 win.
Quarterback Kye Hamilton led the Blue team for most of the game, as the newcomer was 11-of-21 through the air for 166 yards.
Junior running back John Taylor had a strong game in which he carried the ball 11 times for 75 yards and three scores, including a nine-yard touchdown run up the middle that started the scoring for the game.
Quarterback Matthew Gaines had the lone other touchdown for the game, a 20 yard scramble to the end zone to give the Blue team the 28-3 advantage.
Kicker Chase Henry was perfect on the day, as the freshman kicker made a 42-yard field goal for the White team and was 4-4 on point after attempts for the Blue team.
"I am extremely pleased with the execution of our players on both sides of the ball, as well as the tremendous effort and discipline we played with here tonight," commented head coach Paul Hamilton.
Blue team wide receiver Cory Pertz led the receiving corp. with eight catches for 71 yards for the game, while Donald Hudson, Justin Fleming and tight end Curtis Lorenz all had two catches for the game.
The White team offensively was led by receivers Trey Wilborn, Shaton Pratt and Joseph Turner who all had at least one catch for the game.
In only the second year of the BC football program, the Tornados went 2-9 in 2007 as they competed as provisional members in the very tough South Atlantic Conference.
"I am extremely proud of how far we have come as a team and how much we have progressed as a team since January," continued Coach Hamilton. "We played tonight with a lot of speed and a lot of effort. We know we have miles and miles to go to be where we want to be and know that we can build on where we are right now as a program."
"I, as well as the staff, would like to personally thank everyone that was involved with the game, the Tornados club, the administrative and support staff and the community," stated Coach Hamilton. "We appreciate all the work that was put into this event. It was a great day not only for the football program, but for Brevard College as a whole."

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Congressmen Maintain Massive Portfolio of Oil and Gas Investments
August 27, 2010 | Own stocks in oil or gas companies? If you're a member of Congress, the odds are about one-in-five that the answer is yes. Oil and gas industry holdings are some of the most popular investments among lawmakers and their spouses, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Tea Party Caucus Members Bankrolled by Health Professionals, Retirees, Oil Interests
July 30, 2010 | A Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows that the biggest contributors to the 49 members of the newly-established congressional Tea Party caucus -- it so far includes only Republican -- are health professionals, retired individuals, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. Furthermore, donations from health professionals, oil and gas interests and Republican and conservative groups are, on average, higher for Tea Party caucus members than for members of the House of Representatives in general and even their fellow House Republicans.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Committee Members Speak Out–Or Stay Mum–On Health Care
July 9, 2009 | Over the past three weeks, Capital Eye has contacted members of five Capitol Hill committees responsible for drafting health care reform legislation this summer. Here are their responses (and non-responses) and the money they're collecting from various industries.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Now Available: '07 Personal Finances for House & Senate
June 18, 2008 | If you're sick of counting your own pennies, now you can take a break and check out what your representatives are worth. The Center for Responsive Politics has updated our Personal Financial Disclosures database to include the 2007 annual reports for all members of Congress, at least those who filed their reports on time.
Determining a Lawmaker's Worth
May 20, 2008 | Watchdogs and journalists are finding it difficult to determine just how much members of Congress are worth because they report their personal investments in wide ranges.
Pale Green
April 18, 2008 | When environmentalists, lobbyists and eco-friendly citizens come a-knockin' on lawmakers' office doors on Earth Day next week, Democrats (and some Republicans) will detail their legislation that directs taxes collected from the oil and gas industry towards renewable energy initiatives. What they probably won't mention is that lawmakers themselves aren't taking a risk on them with their own money.

By Debra Smith Special to The Herald
Gardeners around here are lucky.
If they don't know what to plant, horticultural experts have recommended nearly 900 of the best-performing ornamental plants for Northwest gardens. That information is available anytime for free at www.greatplantpicks.org.
The plant list is called Great Plant Picks, and it's an educational program provided by the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden in Seattle. The nonprofit just released another 79 picks for 2013. This year's theme is Small Spaces, Big Impact.
This year, the folks at the Miller garden wanted to focus on the best plants for people who have a tiny yard, or perhaps none at all, said Richie Steffen, the curator at the botanical garden. It's his job to oversee the many rare and unusual plants at the garden.
"Our plant palette changes," Steffen said. "The plants available 10 years ago are different than today. A ton of new stuff is coming out every year."
The nonprofit draws together 30 experts from all corners of the horticultural industry, has them recommend their favorite plants for the maritime Northwest and then makes the group whittle down the list to the very best, he said.
The plants on the list have to be the cream of the garden: hardy, reliable, minimal-fuss workhorses that also look fantastic, preferably for more than one season.
The list covers ornamentals, including shrubs, trees, vines and perennials.
Although it was a bit like choosing between children, Steffen whittled this year's new offerings down to the 10 he loves most. Here they are, along with notes on what makes them special:
Red-bark vine maple Pacific Fire (Acer circinatum 'Pacific Fire'): This tree has the same intense color that people love in a coral bark maple, but holds that intense color for many more years.
Clematis Josephine (Clematis 'Evijohill' Josephine): This climbing vine features a fully double bloom that ranges from pale to rosy pink. That double bloom is rare. Some older varieties had double blooms, but they would bloom double the first time and produce a single blossom the second. Josephine is double all the time.
Its growth also peaks out at 6 to 8 feet — manageable for a vine that might be twisting its way up a trellis on your deck. Steffen's assessment: "Totally fabulous."
Columnar European beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Dawyck'): You do need a little space in your yard for this beech, but not a lot. The original plant was found growing wild on the Scottish estate Dawyck.
These tall trees are quite striking in the landscape. The trees can reach 30 feet in height in 10 years, while staying only 4- to 6-feet wide. "It's a wonderful exclamation point," Steffen said.
Trumpet gentian (Gentiana acaulis): Surprisingly tough, crazy blue and totally amazing — that's Steffen's assessment of these tiny perennial trumpets that emerge in early spring. They only grow to a few inches tall, but the stunning, deep blue color makes them a worthy addition to the garden.
Blue dwarf hosta (Hosta 'Blue Mouse Ears'): This is, hands down, the best miniature hosta, Steffen said. He grows them in his own garden. He finds them to be adorable, with their leaves like little mouse ears, and exceptionally tough for a hosta.
Slugs don't seem to devour them as readily as other hostas either. Its tight form makes it an ideal addition to containers.
Blue mountain plum-pine (Podocarpus lawrencei 'Blue Gem'): This easy to grow, adaptable tree is bright blue-green. While most evergreens are toast if you cut them back too far, this one flushes back nicely if somebody gets too enthusiastic with the pruning sheers. Indeed, it can even be sheered into a blue-green hedge.
Pink compact hybrid rhododendron (Rhododendron 'Yaku Sunrise'): This is one of Steffen's favorite rhodies. It stays compact and produces slightly cupped dark green leaves with indumentum, a fuzzy softness on one side of the leaf.
The buds are a deep rose pink and when they open, they fade to a pale pink. Once the blooms are through, the new growth on the plant is silvery, extending the interest of the plant.
Hens and chicks Cobweb Houseleek (Sempervivum arachnoideum ssp. tomentosum 'Stansfieldii'): This tiny succulent produces reddish leaves with a white cobweb effect. Like all hens and chicks, they produce runners and lots of babies to share with friends and neighbors.
Chitalpa (X Chitalpa tashkentensis): Steffen described this tree a bizarre hybrid of the big-leafed cigar tree and the narrow-leaved desert willow. The result is an attract tree that is tough and drought tolerant.
It stays relatively small, topping out at about 15 feet, and produces narrow leaves with short spikes of pink flowers.
Devil's tobacco (Lobelia tupa): This perennial, a native of Chile, doesn't look anything like the lobelia most people are familiar with. This lobelia grows up to 8 feet tall and offers a show of big, bold leaves, and bright orange and red flowers. The flowers resemble a flamingo bell, Steffen said.
Great Plant Picks
All the picks for this year are available at www.greatplantpicks.org. You can find resource pages that list local nurseries that sell recommended plants.

Tornados Drop SAC Opener to QueensSeptember 13, 2013
BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados fell in straight sets to the Queens University Royals in their 2013 South Atlantic Conference Opener in Boshamer Gymnasium on Friday night.
The Tornados were on the offensive in the opening set, taking a 15-12 lead on an Erin Rollins service ace before a Queens timeout propelled the Royals to tie the game at 15-15.
The rest of the opening set saw four ties and five lead changes before Queens closed the set on a 7-2 run to take a 25-21 win.
Queens didn't trail in the final two sets after jumping out to leads of 4-0 and 5-0, respectively. The Royals took the middle set 25-17 and the game-clinching set 25-18.
The Royals hit at a .347 clip for the game, led by Keri Kemp's 13 kills. Taylor Riley added 33 a game-high assists.
Rollins paced Brevard with 11 kills but no other Tornado finished with more than seven kills, and BC hit only .054 percent on the night. Senior Kayla Hanus delivered a team-high 17 set assists.
Defensively, Freshman Aleksandra Vrvilo pitched in a team-high nine digs in the first conference match of her career.
The loss drops BC to 3-2 (0-1 SAC) on the season while the Royals improve to 1-3 (1-1 SAC).
The Tornados look to even their conference record as they host the Catawba College Indians on Saturday afternoon in Boshamer Gymnasium at 2 p.m.

Toni Braxton explains bootylicious wardrobe malfunction
Listen to Toni Braxton on iHeartRadio
Toni Braxton is laughing off her bootylicious wardrobe malfunction.
Last week, the sexy singer had a hilarious wardrobe malfunction during a show and she's finally setting the record straight on how she came undone onstage.
"I was dancing doing the one-two and I kind of thought, 'Are my [breasts] exposed? I am feeling air'. The whole dress just fell apart on stage! I had a bodysuit on but it was very skimpy," she told Yahoo.
"I can't deny I was uncomfortable, but I made it work and the audience kind of laughed and it turned into a burlesque show. I should have charged more for the tickets. Who knew? I just thought how lucky I was that the whole thing didn't come apart! We laughed about it and we made it work, but that's all you can do. Breathe through it all," she said.
We're glad the Braxton Family Values star hasn't lost her sense of humor!

UFC 100 did 1.6
You build on that and you break 2 million.
UFC 100 did 1.6
You build on that and you break 2 million.
You had so many things that aligned to make that show a world beater like Hendo and Bisping's season on TUF, like GSP (who got a bigger pop than Brock in Vegas) against a dangerous Thiago Alves and the whole 'milestone event thing.'
That being said there's nothing to say that, with a similar push, they couldn't have beaten that.
The 24/7 style pre programming would have been a huge campaign for Fedor and if they'd have stuck maybe Anderson or GSP on the card as well and stacked on a few grudge matches/TUF coaching rivalries they'd have boosted their revenue by a massive ammount.
Fedor could have easily armbarred himself to one of the biggest single pay days in UFC history.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
Lesnar did 1.25 million buys for a one fight card with Carwin.
Ben is correct that you couldn't make Fedor/Lesnar a one fight card.
It would have to be a strong card to break the 2 million buy rate and sell out Cowboys Stadium.
But Lesnar/Fedor just prints money once the UFC hype machine gets behind him.
Winston you need to get off the Lesnar band wagon, Lesnar wasn't the reason UFC 100 did 1.6 million buys, he played a part because he was squaring off with Mir again however it may have had something to do with the WW title fight with the greatest WW ever against one of the best WW's in the world, arguable the greatest pound for pound fighter ever Dan Henderson in a seriously hyped grudge match against Michael Bisping.
Which ever way you look at it, you can list a whole number of fighters against Fedor and say it would have been the biggest fight in history money wise.
Stop drinking the 'hateraid'.
I just pointed out that Carwin/Lesnar did 1.25 million.
Only just over 300,000 less that the stacked UFC 100.
Come back when Hendo, Bisping or even GSP have drawn 1.25 million without a strong mid card.
Come back?... I didn't know I was trying to compete with it.
What happens if Silva fights GSP or Jones, then that'll even shit on the memory of 1.6, 1.25, 1.1 whatever.
Dan Henderson GOAT.
Lesnar has a history of drawing over a million per PPV.
I'm basing everything I've said on PPV stats.
People say Fedor wasn't a draw in the US - Fedor drew over a miilion views for all his Strikeforce fights - I know they were not PPVs. 1.7 million watched Hendo/Fedor.
So, based on Lesnar and Fedor's name value and with a strong mid card I could see the 2 million PPV buy rate broken.
That breaks down Lesnar's numbers.
I wrote it ages ago.
16-bit for life http://findingdyluck.blogspot.co.uk/
I know what you're saying... do you think the following would break over 2 million...
Fedor vs Randy?
Fedor vs Overeem?
Fedor vs Dos Santos?
Hendo vs Fedor drew more than any other I believe which is a serious number for a non-UFC event.
Hendo had a big part to play in that.
I went to UFC 141 and it was clear that Lesnar was a shadow of the fighter that mauled Heath, Mir and Randy.
The UFC used the Lesnar name value to make Reem a star in the US.
It's kind of blown up in their face due to Reem being out for over a year and the rub of the Lesnar win would of worn off by then.
No, Reem has no name value in the US and his Strikeforce ratings show that.
Fedor/Randy would of down a million PPV sales.
In a perfect world the UFC would of matched Fedor with Randy and if everything had gone to plan then set up a Lesnar/Fedor fight.
I think the UFC learnt after Cro Cop that you have to rush big name signings into title fights before they risk a lose.
I don't think JDS/Fedor comes close to 2 million buys.

Colts safety Lefeged released from jail after DC gun charge
Indianapolis Colts safety Joe Lefeged has been released from jail after a hearing in a Washington, D.C., court on a gun possession charge.

The Colts have said they're aware of the arrest and are gathering gather more details.
Lefeged, who grew up in Montgomery County, Md., is entering his third NFL season.

The Homeland Security Grant Program is comprised of five interconnected grant programs:
The HSGP is one tool among a comprehensive set of measures authorized by Congress and implemented by the administration to help strengthen the nation against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks.
Below is a quick overview of the FY2007 programs included in HSGP.
State Homeland Security Program (SHSP). SHSP supports the implementation of State Homeland Security Strategies to address the identified planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs for acts of terrorism. In addition, SHSP supports the implementation of the National Preparedness Goal, the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and the National Response Plan (NRP).
Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) Program. UASI Program funds address the unique planning, equipment, training, and exercise needs of high-threat, high-density Urban Areas, and assist them in building an enhanced and sustainable capacity to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism.
Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program (LETPP). LETPP provides resources to law enforcement and public safety communities (working with their private partners) to support critical terrorism prevention activities, including: establishing/enhancing fusion centers and collaborating with non-law enforcement partners, other government agencies, and the private sector.
Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) Program. MMRS funds support designated jurisdictions to further enhance and sustain a regionally integrated, systematic mass casualty incident preparedness program that enables a response during the first crucial hours of an incident. The program prepares jurisdictions for response to all-hazards mass casualty incidents, including CBRNE terrorism, epidemic disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and large-scale hazardous materials incidents.
Citizen Corps Program (CCP). The Citizen Corps mission is to bring community and government leaders together to coordinate the involvement of community members in emergency preparedness, planning, mitigation, response, and recovery.

Stalin, now one of the top men in the party, was sent there by Lenin to ensure that grain was getting shipped to Moscow.
En route to California, he reportedly tossed his works of Lenin overboard, to avoid trouble from the U.S. authorities.
The Lenin statue has now become the focal point of protests for Russia, and against the 'fascists' in Kiev.
Both Lenin and Mao were master organizers, and succeeded in making the connection to the countryside.
One, a pro-Ukrainian activist in Lenin Square, was killed just days ago.
When Lenin wishes to prove some proposition, he does so, if possible, by quoting texts from Marx and Engels.
This gentleman was said to adore Lenin, on whom he lectured.
It is the menace of fanatic armies, drunken with phrases and sweeping forward under Lenin like a Muscovite scourge.
The real revolution has just been completed in Russia, 70 years after Lenin's death.
And there's another well-authenticated rumor from Russia that Lenin is dead.
pseudonym or alias chosen c.1902 (for publishing clandestine political works in exile) by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Il'ich Ulyanov (1870-1924). Related: Leninist (1917); Leninism (1918).
A Russian revolutionary leader of the early twentieth century, highly honored in the former Soviet Union as the founder of the modern Soviet state. Lenin, a founder of the Bolshevik party, contributed much to the success of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Lenin held that a dedicated group of intellectuals had to spearhead the revolution. He became chief of government of the Soviet Union after the revolution and served until his death in 1924. Joseph Stalin succeeded him. Lenin's real name was Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.

So normally I don't have to do this, but I had to start freelancing recently. I usually only do small jobs here & there which don't require a lot of interaction with the client, but now I have a client who needs a lot more work done to streamline her business & get her moving forward. The problem is that she's VERY busy, I don't think she types fast, but I could be wrong, & she prefers the phone.
She's a lovely person, but busy from like the crack of dawn until gawd knows when at night.
I have a feeling organization isn't her strong suit, so I'm trying to figure out a way to get her to answer my questions every day so I can continue working & she doesn't end up with e-mails & word docs piling up with all my questions. This is already stressing her as I can be very detailed. It's either a long e-mail with several points, or an e-mail per point & then she gets like 20 e-mails. She prefers short.
I hope that as time goes on I'll have less questions, but for now I'm teaching her a lot about SEO, her site, etc. & I can't do much without her go ahead on certain tasks, figuring out what software to get etc.
I did suggest maybe she answer my questions in a digital VR (then she'd have to e-mail it to me & that could be a problem), but I'm also concerned about when she's even going to have time to do this. I assume she drives from client to client & networking gatherings & while she can talk while she's driving, she can't read my questions.
So I'm wondering what ideas you have either b/c you've had this problem before & solved it, or you had a client who solved this problem.
I want to get a task manager set up, but again, if she doesn't even have time to go in there to take a look around, how is she going to have time to address my e-mails every day?
I see it as an issue of priorities. If the website is really important to her business, then she needs to give it higher priority and make some proper time for it.
Sure, but I also want to find a way for her to answer my questions easily so it's not a strain on her.
My phone is in my pocket at all times. Isn't everyone's? Email is received instantly on my phone. Isn't everybody's? When I get a email I answer it immediately. Most I find are not like that. I don't know how they succeed in life like that. Yes it drove me crazy too.
Yes I've asked her what kind of phone she has, but she's the type that doesn't want to be interrupted when she's with a client, potential client, etc.
I have a client like this. If I send him simple mails which require short answers, these normally get answered quite quickly. Long mails that require him to think or understand a concept, don't. When something needs discussing we schedule a meeting. It took me a while to get used to this, but once I did it works quite well.
I also needed to learn that he doesn't want to be bothered with every little decision and is quite happy for me to decide and implement the vast majority of things off my own back.
You can set up a simple workflow system, like basecamp or even mantis and make each ticket/item an individual question.
Yeh, I already figured out she's like this, but I am just starting & I have to get tons of answers from her. She hasn't yet told me to just do whatever I think is okay, but even if she did, I don't have enough experience with her setup yet although I'm sort of getting there.
Just getting simple logins for sites, etc. I'm not getting. She's VERY disorganized which is an issue for me, as I'm very organized.
Anyway, thanks, it makes me feel like I'm not alone LOL
I was thinking of basecamp, but many years ago I tried to use it & hated it. It was ugly, wasn't intuitive, etc. etc. Have they improved it since?
I tried to look for Mantis & the only thing I see is a bug tracker. Do you have the URL for that?
I was also wondering (I'll start a new thread for this) if there's a CRM that has a task management system included in it. She needs a new CRM anyway, so it would be great if I could find something that's all under one roof.
No problem. Glad it helps One thing you need to realize, is that you are very probably not going to get her to change her ways.
I was just dealing with my unorganised client this week. All I needed from him is a simple "Yes, it works", but apparently this is too much.In this case I waited 48 hours, thought "Oh well!" then sent him the invoice regardless.
When I first started dealing with this guy I interpreted his lack of communication as rudeness and was quite close to quitting the project.However, I stuck it out, adapted my behaviour to suit him (I am very organised, too, so this was initially quite difficult), but now I'm glad I did, as the project has turned into an ongoing one and has proved quite lucrative.
Hi there,
Well my client doesn't seem to be as lucrative as yours, & of course if I have to chase her, things don't get done quickly, plus it costs her more b/c I do charge for e-mails.
I never took it as being rude, I just can't do my job if they don't respond. Not only that, she pays money for these terrible company's services. Her hosting is Go Daddy & I've never dealt with them before other than for domains & SSL & I find out they won't help with anything unless it's hardware, so they are useless.
Trying to get her to change to better hosting, better list building, etc. is going to be an issue. I get that there's a cost of moving, but it costs more for me to do things the long way or the hard way b/c these companies suck LOL
I have another client where I had to tell him 3-4 times that the reason things aren't moving along is b/c you AREN'T responding to my e-mails. Sometimes it would take him 4 days to respond back. Sometimes I feel like he's blaming me for things not moving along & that bothers me.
He's not as bad as this one & he's better now b/c of my prodding, but still, they expect things to get done & then they see nothing has been done & yet hours are being billed. I told her that I'm working on your biz even if no tasks are being completed.
I get they are busy, no question about that & I know how it is, but they have to learn how to allocate time each day to address my questions otherwise I just can't do the work.
As for her not changing LOL, she's a coach who teaches people about how to change their communication skills so she should be accustomed to change, but clearly the shoe is on the other foot now.

One of the more peculiar items I find when checking my blog stats is that I still get hits for a blog item I wrote in 2008 — 2008 — about Microsoft's 10-K report that year and how it implies how good the open source paradigm might be compared to its own software and its own business model.
Bear in mind that one of the purposes of a 10-K report — somewhat like the medical disclaimers you hear on drug commercials that, after listening to it, would make any normal person avoid the drug at all costs — is to outline any potential pitfall in buying stock in the company you're considering so you can't sue them if, well, the stock goes south; way south.
Why the blog item keeps getting hits is beyond me, but for those who keep reading it, thanks.
A brave man: My friend Steven Rosenberg, who writes a tech column for the Los Angeles Daily News, wades into uncharted territory in his column today, where he outlines dual-booting a Lenovo with Fedora and . . . wait for it . . . Windows 7. As always, Steven's blogs are always informative and instructional, and the reasoning behind his using the Xfce spin of Fedora is something that hadn't occurred to me before. Steven says in the blog that he "prefer(s) the Xfce tools over those in GNOME. I like the Thunar file manager, the way you can 'minimize' a window but keep it visible on the desktop, I like the look (and speed; these helper apps are super-quick) and functionality of the Xfce terminal and Mousepad text editor. The Xfce configuration apps all work great, and there are plenty of them." Nice work, as always, Steven. Keep us posted on this dual-boot adventure.
Survey says: Ken Starks over at the Blog of HeliOS has a fairly interesting survey to be taken, if you have several minutes. Tell Ken how you use GNU/Linux or Linux and help him out.
Now, who wants more coffee?

What worries the Colonel is that Steve almost always gets the strange
things to work. Oh wait, he has a new Lenovo? Who is this impostor?
Folks, Steve is a highly consummate professional. Do not try these things
on your own computer!
Ken Starks is another kind of something else. If you look up the definition
of iconoclast it will just say; Ken Starks. Here is this guy with a weird
vision of computers for everyone. Every kid should have a computer and
if you are a kid from a family who's economic situation is south of affluent
there is Ken with his posse of big hearted geeks, giving those kids a chance
to participate in the 21st century.

Ovulation disorders, which hinder or prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs. Examples include hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that might relate to your ovaries producing too much of the male hormone testosterone, and hyperprolactinemia, when you have too much prolactin the hormone that stimulates breast milk production. Other underlying causes may include excessive exercise, eating disorders, injury or tumors.
Uterine or cervical abnormalities, including problems with the opening of the cervix or cervical mucus, or abnormalities in the shape or cavity of the uterus. Benign tumors in the wall of the uterus that are common in women (uterine fibroids) may rarely cause infertility by blocking the fallopian tubes. More often, fibroids may distort the uterine cavity interfering with implantation of the fertilized egg.
Fallopian tube damage or blockage, which usually results from inflammation of the fallopian tube (salpingitis). This can result from pelvic inflammatory disease, usually caused by sexually transmitted infection, endometriosis or adhesions.
Endometriosis, which occurs when endometrial tissue implants and grows outside of the uterus often affecting the function of the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes.
Primary ovarian insufficiency, also called early menopause, when the ovaries stop working and menstruation ends before age 40. Although the cause is often unknown, certain conditions are associated with early menopause, including immune system diseases, radiation or chemotherapy treatment, and smoking.
Pelvic adhesions, bands of scar tissue that bind organs after pelvic infection, appendicitis, or abdominal or pelvic surgery.

Warner Hodgdon, real estate developer, civic leader, entrepreneur and descendant of a pioneer San Bernardino family, is seriously ill, his son, Aaron, said late Saturday, denying an earlier report in the day that his father had died.
"He is very sick," Aaron Hodgdon said. "It could be a few days, weeks or a few months, you never know about these things."
As director of San Bernardino's Redevelopment Agency, Hodgdon was the mastermind behind the redevelopment of the city's downtown, the building of City Hall and the current County Government Center, the Carousel Mall, and Shandin Hills Public Golf Course.
Hodgdon, former owner of Ontario International raceway, a former major professional national auto race course torn down years ago, also had interests in other raceways on the East coast.
He was a direct descendant of San Bernardino's original settlers, including Capt. Jefferson Hunt of Mormon Battalion fame in the 1848 War with Mexico.

WATCH: U.S. cargo plane crash kills seven in Afghanistan
(Kabul) -- Seven people are dead following a cargo plane crash near the Afghan capital city of Kabul. The U.S.-run plane went down shortly after takeoff today from the Bagram air base. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the crash, but NATO officials say there are no reports of insurgent activity in the area. There's no word yet on the nationalities of the seven victims.
On Saturday, four U.S. service members were killed when their surveillance aircraft went down in southern Afghanistan. Officials cited bad weather as the cause of that crash.
