- Respiratory Illnesses
Bloodroot is a perennial flowering herb that was widely used by Native Americans both as a reddish-orange dye and as a medicine. Some tribes drank bloodroot tea as a treatment for sore throats, fevers, and joint pain, while others applied the somewhat caustic sap to skin cancers. European herbalists used bloodroot to treat respiratory infections, asthma, joint pain, warts, ringworm, and nasal polyps.
In the mid 1800s, a Dr. Fells of Middlesex Hospital in London developed a treatment consisting of a paste of bloodroot, flour, water, and zinc chloride applied directly to breast tumors and other cancers. Similar formulations were used in various locales up through the turn of the century. Today, bloodroot is still a common constituent of folk medicine "drawing salves" said to pull tumors out of the body.
What Is Bloodroot Used for Today?
Herbalists frequently recommend bloodroot pastes and salves for the treatment of warts . Bloodroot is an escharotic , that is to say a scab-producing substance, and it functions much like commercial wart plasters containing salicylic acid. Although there has not been any real scientific study of the use of bloodroot for warts, based on its escharotic effects, it could be helpful.
One constituent of bloodroot, sanguinarine, appears to possess topical antibiotic properties. 1 On this basis, the FDA has approved the use of bloodroot in commercially available toothpastes and oral rinses to inhibit the development of dental plaque and periodontal disease (gingivitis). However, the evidence that it really helps remains incomplete and inconsistent. 7,8 On a similar note, one very preliminary study found suggestive evidence that use of a toothpaste containing sanguinaria plus fluoride is more effective for cavity prevention than fluoride alone. 9
Bloodroot is also often combined with other herbs in cough syrups. Some herbalists recommend drinking bloodroot tea for respiratory ailments, but others consider the herb to be too unpredictable in its side effects.
For the treatment of warts, bloodroot can be made into a paste and applied directly to the involved area. However, it's important to start slowly to see how sensitive you are. Excessive application can lead to severe burns. Once you've discovered your tolerance, you can apply the herb for a day or so, then remove it and wait for the scab to develop and then drop off. This process is repeated until the wart is gone.
Bloodroot tea for internal use is made by boiling 1 teaspoon of powdered root in a cup of water and taken 2 or 3 times daily.
Safety Issues
Oral bloodroot appears to be relatively safe and nontoxic. 2,3,4 However, in large doses, it causes nausea and vomiting, and even at lower dosages it has been reported to cause peculiar side effects in some people, such as tunnel vision and pain in the feet. For this reason, many herbalists recommend that it be used only under the supervision of a qualified practitioner.
Topical applications of bloodroot can cause severe burns if used too vigorously and for too long a time. Despite some reassuring evidence from animal studies, 5 there are still theoretical concerns that bloodroot could be harmful during pregnancy. 6 Safety in young children, nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has also not been established.

Are You "Under Pressure"? Don't Ignore This Dashboard Alert
(NewsUSA) - Beginning with the 2008 model year, tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are now standard on all new cars in the United States, but many drivers don't know about them. Often, drivers are first introduced to TPMS when the icon on their dashboard illuminates, signaling that the air pressure in one or more tires is low -- potentially dangerously low.
On average, underinflated tires are responsible for nearly 700 vehicle crashes every day. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that, when all passenger vehicles are equipped with TPMS, the number of annual motor vehicle crash fatalities will decrease by about 120, and the annual number of injuries due to motor vehicle crashes will decrease by about 8,500.
To help raise awareness about TPMS and the importance of proper tire pressure, Schrader, the pioneer and leading manufacturer of tire pressure monitoring systems, has created TPMSMadeSimple.com. This comprehensive site offers drivers key facts about TPMS, including how it enhances vehicle safety and why it is now mandatory on all U.S. vehicles. In addition to safety information, drivers can also find out how much money they can save with properly inflated tires and how proper inflation helps the environment.
If your car is equipped with TPMS, the light will come on when one or more of your tires are at least 25 percent below the recommended inflation pressure. When this happens, take caution and:
* Find a safe place to pull off to check your tire pressure. Keep a tire gauge with your set of emergency items in your vehicle.
* If the light comes on while driving at highway speed, immediately grab hold of the steering wheel with both hands in case you are experiencing a blow-out (rapid deflation) scenario. Slowly decelerate to a safe speed and find a safe place to pull off to check your tire pressure.
* Once checked, if the tires all appear normal, proceed with caution to have your tire pressure checked and filled to the proper tire pressure. This can be done at a gas station or tire service center.
* If needed, have the problem tire or tires and the TPMS system serviced at your nearest tire service center.
The TPMS light should go off within several minutes of driving on the repaired or re-inflated tires.
Visit TPMSMadeSimple.com for more information about TPMS and the importance and benefits of maintaining proper tire pressure.

(CNN) -- Election day was filled with genuine emotions on Twitter, following months of sharp exchanges, too many jokes to count and memes. So many memes. Tuesday had its tense moments and also bursts of joy and disappointment.
We've collected some of the best to highlight the roller coaster that was this Election Day.
When the election was finally called for Obama, Twitter blew up.
Twitter Government -- Peak to 327k TPM following @BarackObama's re-election was by far the most-tweeted moment of #Election2012.
Four more years. twitter.com/BarackObama/st...— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) November 7, 2012
Adam Britten -- Amazing that @BarackObama is basically acknowledging he won on Twitter before anywhere else. #election2012
John Boehner -- Thank you to Mitt, Paul, & their families for carrying banner of our party & principles w/strength, grace, & courage
Gov. Mike Huckabee -- Tonight's results only remind me that our country has slipped into a deeper state of dependence on govt
Donald J. Trump -- He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!
David Cameron (British prime minister) -- Warm congratulations to my friend @BarackObama. Look forward to continuing to work together.
Tyler Oakley -- I'm sorry, @MittRomney, you're no longer in the running to become America's Next Top President.
While I was playing dominoes with the girls, we got the news that Obama had been re-elected. We're celebrating at the Mansion.— Hugh Hefner (@hughhefner) November 7, 2012
Big Bird -- Mitt Romney still deciding which Mitt Romney will deliver Mitt Romney's concession speech. #Election2012
Lady Gaga -- AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHRHRGRGRGRRRGURBHJBEORWPSO JWPJORGWOIRGWSGODEWPGOHEPW09GJEDPOKSD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0924QU8T63095JRGHWPE09UJ0PWHRGW
Of course, Obama wasn't the only winner of the night. Tammy Baldwin was elected the first openly gay senator and Elizabeth Warren won her Senate race in Massachusetts. Maine and Maryland voted to legalize gay marriage, and Colorado and Washington voted to legalize recreational marijuana.
Jonny Dorsey -- Tammy Baldwin! In 2008 my friends and I cried after Prop 8 passed. Today the USA has an LGBT Senator. Change coming.
Tammy Baldwin -- I didn't run to make history. I ran to make a difference. #WIsen #Tammy2012
Erica Williams -- Tammy Baldwin, Elizabeth Warren and now Claire McCaskill...Looks like we're filling up our #binderfullofwomen tonight.
Ezra Klein -- I remember when Elizabeth Warren was just some obscure academic with some interesting ideas on consumer regulation.
Streeter Seidell -- Legal weed, gay marriage and a black president - take THAT, grandma!
Brent Black -- So a bunch of states have voted for gay marriage and legal marijuana. America is slowly learning how to party.
nascarcasm -- Colorado voted to legalize marijuana, because apparently being a mile high already just isn't quite high enough. #election2012
Earlier in the day, people shared photos of I Voted stickers, but also voiced concerns about long lines and faulty machines.
Diama Gabriel -- I have to say that the #voting process in #Florida is a dissaster. 3 hours in line and I'm still waiting
Janice Nolen -- One hour and still waiting to #vote in DC. Women fought 75 years to be able to vote. No problem with standing in line one hour.
I voted. Go #vote twitter.com/LennyKravitz/s...— Lenny Kravitz (@LennyKravitz) November 6, 2012
New York Times electoral number-cruncher Nate Silver, whose predictions proved spot on, was a popular topic.
Kevin Roose -- Nate Silver, drunk in the newsroom later tonight: "More like FiveThirtyGREAT, AM I RIGHT?!"
Nate Silver 2.0 [parody account] -- Molten variables hiss and roar. On my mind-forge, I hammer them into the greatsword Epistemology. Many are my foes this night.
Jeffrey Goldberg -- If Nate Silver is right, does this also mean that the climate is, in fact, changing, and that the earth is more than 6,000 years old?
Nate Silver -- This is probably a good time to link to my book: t.co/48GNWEC9
My election map:twitpic.com/bayemt— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) November 7, 2012
But most of the night was spent in suspense waiting, watching results roll in state by state, and cracking jokes.
benhuh -- Tonight, I celebrate the reelection of Twitter. 4 MORE CHARACTERS!
david carr -- A close national election is an odd weave of adrenaline and boredom. Nothing else like it.
Here we go. Results. Soon we shall find out who will be smug and awful on twitter, and who will just be awful.— Jon Lovett (@jonlovett) November 6, 2012
Mike Drucker -- We're now at the part of the election that feels like watching a really long pregnancy test.
Jordan Cohen -- 9:27pm, not a meme in sight.
Andy Borowitz -- It's still early on cable news, but words have opened up a big lead over information. #Election2012 #vote2012 #election
Rachel Streitfeld -- Romney has only one speech written tonight: a victory speech, and as of now it's 1,118-words long.
Nick Confessore -- I mean okay, I guess we can just wait to see how people voted. Fine.
Andrew Kaczynski -- I'm looking at my poll countdown clocks like Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day.
Mia Aquino -- Halo 4. Alas, not tonight...
Jason Gay -- Everyone's excitedly watching TV news at 7 PM. We are all 82 years old.
Ryan Teague Beckwith -- It's so cute how they let these nonswing states vote. And CNN and everyone calls them and everything!
Justin Stangel -- Fox News reports: Mitt Romney 100% Obama 0% #election2012
Mary Cheney sends me this picture of her father, VP Dick Cheney, watching returns at home. @nymag @dailyintel twitter.com/joehagansays/s...— Joe Hagan (@joehagansays) November 7, 2012
Al Gore -- We have the ability to let everyone who is eligible to vote vote & we need a bipartisan effort to make it happen. #Election2012 #Current2012
Eric Stangel -- NBC just declared The Cayman Islands for Mitt Romney... #Election2012
daniel tosh -- good luck today Florida! try not to pull a "Florida"
Anthony De Rosa -- Florida, you're gonna give me a heart attack
Faux John Madden -- BREAKING: Apple Maps projecting Barack Obama to win Brazil.

Comic 664: No One Appreciates You
I guess Randall just wants to shit on some businessy people (I guess he really wants to be hired by some university somewhere?) , because you could totally just reverse this: Academics you spend all this time trying to get grants and stuff and make your papers get published and it takes years and is totally thankless, and you have to deal with stupid students and stuff, and in business, you get paid and stuff and if you work it right you can get famous and invent ipods and stuff (simplified? perhaps. no, on second thought, no. not simplified). Anyway, the point is, this just feels so damn complainy, especially for a guy who has never been an academic, or even gone to grad school, or even tried to go to grad school (as far as I know). While we're at it, isn't a thesis basically what you write at the end of a doctoral program or some other sort of program? Don't you usually write only one? How is that different from a paper, besides the difference in who is writing it?
But whatever. Man, I knew that being an academic was awesome in the math/physics/comp sci fields. You know how I know? Because I read Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, which covered this topic last week. Just last week! Am I being crazy here, or is this a little suspicious?
I am going to try to do a better job of reading comments and occasionally replying...you guys are just writing far too many. Stop writing! only one person has to call me a douche for me to get the picture, not all of you!

I liked how 665 didn't have any fucking awful Randall dialogue. I didn't like how it was a tepid non-joke "modernisation" or some shit of tLtW&tW.ReplyDelete
What IS the joke? How absurd would it be if some random piece of modern technology was put into Narnia? How tragic is it that our children are disillusioned to the point that their first reaction to a mystical land of imagination and wonder is to set up a webcam? How awesome would it be if we could examine Narnia with the scientific rigor that only being a self-diagnosed Internet Ass Pie can bring to bear? All of these things, and more, thanks to Randall's inability to write an actual joke!

You're being crazy. The jokes are completely different.
Also yeah @Carl RE: SMBC and XKCD I think there have been times when SMBC and XKCD have been, at best, deeply intertextual and at worst, outright mutually plagiaristic, but this isn't one of those times.ReplyDelete
--"What IS the joke?"ReplyDelete
One would think the mere juxtaposition of webcams and the Narnia chronicles would be enough.

One would think that if one is the sort of tool who laughs like a retard every time Randall juxtaposes two recognizable elements of nerd/smart/whatever culture into a single comic without a joke. I suppose you really appreciated that Armageddon/Little Prince mashup, that GLaDOS/HAL9000 combination, and the other times where Randall just clumps two recnogizable concepts together and waits for his fanbase to laugh.
It is really undeniable that all Randal really wants is a damn blog. This kind of graphic accompanied by a short message would be perfectly respectable as a blog post [if not pretentious, self-serving, whiny, etc.]. As a comic, it just comes off as another one of his autofellating declarations, especially in light of his stunning amount of academic/business world experience.ReplyDelete

I gotta say, the longer it's been since I first saw this blog (a couple weeks ago) the less I enjoy reading the comics...it's like I didn't see how bad they were getting just because I hadn't thought of it and now that I have...oh man...especially cuz now I'll think back on what they used to be like for comparison.ReplyDelete
I liked them more when they were deep...at the very least every once in awhile...(and not just attempting to be deep)

>Am I being crazy here, ...ReplyDelete
You are
In response to the alt-text: Yeah, I did notice that when I read it. I had thought maybe I was the only one. I feel vindicated!ReplyDelete
I was also amused by the fact that on the xkcd forums there was not overwhelming praise for 664, and a lot of people were like "Well, it doesn't work exactly like that."
Then I decided to look at the thread for 665 and well...it really just baffles me how anyone could like that comic. There's just no joke there. A few of the positive comments are "I love Narnia!" or "This is brilliant because Narnia is a great book series!"
That bugs me. They only appreciate his comic because it references something better than what he has created. It is a pretty bad idea to remind people of other, well-written things that they could be reading instead.
And really, only liking it because it references Narnia? That's a ridiculous reason to like that comic. The exact same response could have been achieved by just posting a stick figure saying "Hey, the Narnia books were really great!" And everyone would have said the exact same thing. "Narnia FTW!" or "Man they really are great, I should reread them!" If nothing else, hasn't Family Guy alone taught us that a reference does not equal humor?
Ugh...and I guess a lot of other people are reminded of Stargate, but I haven't seen that and have no plans to (sorry Roland Emmerich, but I already know what your movies are like now, you can't fool me again).
I'm going to agree with everyone else. It's at worst inspired by SMBC, and more likely completely unrelated.

I dunno, I thought today's comic was kinda darkly humorous, in a way I'm sure Randall didn't intend.ReplyDelete
Why so many panels?ReplyDelete
My understanding (maybe incorrect) is that Randall hasn't actually worked in the "business" world either, (except in so far as he currently is, and being your own boss selling t-shirts for a living is a very different kind of business) and his main work experience between college and being a professional webcomic guy was working in the government sector at NASA. For the purposes of this comic his job was probably more like business than academia, but it is very distinctly neither.ReplyDelete

664 seems to prove that Randall reads The Daily WTF, but he doesn't read PhD comics.ReplyDelete
665 might've been worth a chuckle (personally I think the concept of sending a probe into Narnia is fairly humorous) if I hadn't had to reread it 10 times before I realised what it was actually about.

664 means basically nothing to me. It's just a waste of internet space.ReplyDelete
665, I liked. I'm bringing a *lot* of my own subtext to it, and I know that. But I like it. It's not particularly funny, but I still like it. To me, it speaks to the loss of adventurousness in children. Rather than rushing in to a new world, the child would rather interact with it at a distance, through a screen, rather than go and experience it first-hand. It's a sad commentary on how technology removes us from experiences.
Of course, in true XKCD fashion, it still has to screw stuff up. Of course it's a case of the girl being smart enough to quickly construct a remote-controlled probe. Of course the White Witch becomes an idiot AND intelligent at the same time (if she's never seen high technology before, how's she know what a firmware update is? If she HAS seen it, why is she trying to bargain with the probe, instead of the person controlling it? Stupid alt-text.)
And we draw ever-closer to the dreaded #666.

I got out of business to go into academia, so now rather than a manager or VP, I report to a department chair or principal.ReplyDelete
Guess what RanDULL, not much difference between the two.
Actually depending on where you are in your business world it's a lot easier to get people to think you're the best ever. Have you ever heard of startups? They are companies which have terrible ideas and convince people whose sole purpose it is to give money to people with bad ideas that their idea is fucking awesome.ReplyDelete
Or private research groups? If you can show someone a pretty graph, you can get businesses to fund you.
Noz, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the Stargate reference in 665 and Nate, when we talk about Stargate, we're not really referencing the movie (as great as it was) we're referencing the show Stargate SG-1 where whenever they were going to go explore another planet they would first send a probe to see if it was hostile, inhabitable, etc.ReplyDelete

# 665 Head Report: 8 head instances, all on. 8/8ReplyDelete
655 Personal thoughts... meh. This sort of "old story + new tech" mashup is really cookie-cutter by now. Like a joke pattern, after the first couple of proof-of-concept jokes that show some pattern can be used to produce tons of jokes... you can't just say them all and expect it to work. You have to find a really good, unexpected one. Hell, putting a probe through just seems like a modern variant on Theseus' thread in the maze, and I know that is what I thought of when I first read TLtWatW as a kid.
As far as 664 being ripped from SMBC, the topics seems different enough, but if Randall is going to steal, he might as well steal from someone way better at making funny comics than him.
I sort of think there's a problem of interpretation on 664. The way I read it, Randall wasn't commenting on the programmer's personal gratification of his work, but on the effect that a groundbreaking idea has on the WHOLE field of computer science. It shows even more through the alt-text: Randall is lamenting that there might be a lot of untapped potential in the business world because the people handling business fail to see computing like a proper science, NOT that in business is hard to be seen as smart. I can agree that Randall's argument is severely flawed, and I guess that since there's been so much dissent, he definitely failed to deliver the idea well.ReplyDelete
Like I said in my 10:54 comment, I don't think it's reaching way too far to see this as a sort of maudlin demonstration that oh the kids of today they are too jaded with their computers and the video games.ReplyDelete
Although weirdly, the typical "the video games and the internet are becoming a surrogate for reality" arguments become extremely weird when computerized interaction becomes a surrogate for a fantasy.
So, I guess this comic succeeds at clumsily managing to evoke some relatively interesting concepts. Mostly by accident, I think. Freefall is way better at it.

Comic 664: I was going to jest about the woman representing academia and man representing business before, but the comment box ate my comment and I was too damn busy to care about putting it up again. Anyway, I don't even know if the comic's supposed to be funny, but I know Randall is definitely pushing the rope too much to one side, and it annoys me a little... I like the change in layout, though.ReplyDelete
Comic 665: either this is pure "old story revisited, LOL" or a crossover(I've seen here it's a reference to Stargate). I'm not sure. I'm sure, though, that the lack of dialogue made it easier to avoid the usual stilted Munroe-ian dialogue, and Randall shoud avoid drawing satyrs. I'm slihtly happy that he drew a cool background on the last background, though.
And the alt-text... meh.

I also learned that my prospects working in research and development involve slaving away as a pHd Student, after which I may have a slim chance of making a distinctly average wage with little recognition.
LESSON- Randall is bitter and uninformed- if you're good and can be smart enough to apply what you know; then buisness is far more rewarding than academia.
Cam: I realize that people were mostly talking about the Stargate TV series, but Stargate was still created by Emmerich (or half-created), so it still has his touch all over it and I will avoid it like the plague.ReplyDelete
Besides I'm not too keen on the concept in the first place. My loss I suppose?

Mike, did you watch anything beyond the first two seasons? Yeah, the show took a while to hit it's stride, but once it did there were a shitload of awesome episodes. I don't remember the exact titles, but "Darmok and Jelad, at Tenagra", "There are FOUR lights!", and the one where Data's sentience is put on trial immediately come to mind.ReplyDelete
Also, any episode where Riker doesn't have a beard isn't canon and I refuse to acknowledge its existnce.
i have only ever seen one episode of any star trek show ever and it was "Darmok and Jelad" and while i hate to disagree with you P, i thought it was probably one of the stupidest things I ever saw.ReplyDelete
P, sadly, I had to watch it many times, due to my father being a huge fan of the show, so I've seen pretty much everything. Encounter at Farpoint, Locutus of Borg, Four Lights, up to All Good Things. Even the cloned Riker episode. Lt. Riker. Jeez. And the MOVIES?! Oh my GOD. First Contact? Nemesis? They make the original Trek movies look like high cinema (which they weren't, apart from II, despite being a good time).ReplyDelete

"Darmok" was the first episode I ever saw, as well. I actually watched it as part of my sci fi class back in high school. I think the culture of the alien's people - specifically its manner of speaking - is brilliantly conceived and a fascinating observation of our own language.
Beyond that, yeah, that episode is hilariously cheesy and, in my opinion, moronic.
And yet, a couple of those silly poetic phrases have remained endeared in my memory. Shakka, when the walls fell. That and the titular one are most easily recalled.ReplyDelete

Have any of you heard of Brawl in the Family? It's a pretty cute webcomic, not the height of humor or anything, and it's got a really clear target audience. Anyway I came across this on an older strip:ReplyDelete
Starting the week after next–Monday, February 16th–Brawl in the Family will be updating less frequently. I know some of you will be a little disappointed with this, but as some comic ideas get a little tougher to come up with, I truly think it's for the best of the site. I'm happy with the comics uploaded so far, but I feel that a strict three-a-week schedule could negatively affect the quality of the strip in the near future.
Just thought I'd share. Also give the comic a read--it's cute even if you're not into Super Smash.
Amanda: I use Opera. My problem, though, is half my fault and half the comment box fault: I accidentally gone back on the history by pressing backspace with the focus off the textbox and lost the text. Still, the box still annoys me when I have to wait the javascript load the profiles and once in a while I forgot I must submit the comment again.ReplyDelete

It takes a rather stupid amount of alcohol to get me to even that point. So, it's not economically feasible for me to get drunk, even. Pursuant to that, I don't like the taste of beer, wine, or coolers. Oddly, I like long island ice teas, whiskey, and tequila.

Yeah, I realized after posting that 'assuming the consequent' was not exactly what Anon 2:51 was doing. There is the faulty premise that whatever Randall's doing, it can't be good; and there is the false dichotomy between perpetuating traditional gender roles and expressing a 'strong women' fetish, which is a stronger description of the same problem.

With all of the advances to science in the last decade, some of the best skin solutions still come from nature. This is the basis for natural skin care, a booming field in the beauty industry. For centuries, various groups of people have found secrets to treating a variety of skin concerns from wrinkles to mild wounds to acne breakouts while relying on natural extracts from plants. Now ancient wisdom is making a comeback as people discover the power of natural skin care to protect, repair and maintain a healthy, problem-free complexion. Our natural skin care products contain high concentrations of botanical extracts that replace popular chemical ingredients that can sometimes cause irritation and other problems.


text: Share: November 6, 2011 | by Jessica Rennells and Vicky Kelly Climate Change There was nothing "normal" about the weather in the 2011 growing season. We started out with a tremendously wet spring, making planting vegetables and field crops challenging. Then we had a miserably hot, dry July, further stressing plants (and people!) with nine days over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. July was followed by record-breaking rain in August and September.As of Oct. 16, Millbrook exceeded historical rain averages by more than 20 inches. We ended September about 313 growing-degree days ahead of the 24-year average for the season, which made it difficult for farmers to predict crop maturation and manage pests.The crazy season leaves some of us wondering if climate change is causing a new "normal" for Hudson Valley weather, or if what we are seeing is just a seasonal glitch.The devastating floods of 2011 were caused by Tropical Storm Irene, which brought 6.35 inches of rain from Aug. 27-28. A week later, Tropical Storm Lee followed, depositing another 5.77 inches in a four-day period Sept. 5-8.While neither of these storms brought record-breaking rainfall, they resulted in record-breaking floods. Why was there so much flooding? And why was there so little flooding in September 1999, when Hurricane Floyd brought seven inches of rain to the area?Looking at past data can help us answer this question. When Hurricane Floyd hit in 1999, we were five inches below normal for precipitation. Drier ground was able to absorb the rainfall, as were wetlands, lakes and ponds.In comparison, before Tropical Storm Irene dumped rain on us, we had already exceeded average rainfall by 8.25 inches. The ground was saturated, and ponds, lakes and wetlands were full. Runoff and flooding prevailed because there was nowhere for the additional rainfall to go.Increased rain, especially if it comes in pulses as it did during the 2011 growing season, combined with an increase in growing-degree days (signaling a longer mild season), can influence mosquito populations, causing them to emerge earlier, reach higher numbers and live longer.This would be a boon for mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus. A greater abundance and longer life for West Nile virus-carrying mosquitoes would increase the probability of human exposure and infection.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center forecasted that the 2011 hurricane season would have more named storms and major hurricanes than normal. Predictions don't include the tracks of the storms or whether they will go inland, because this is determined by factors present at the time of the storm. It's also uncertain what effect climate change will have on hurricanes, so flooding caused by tropical storms is not easy to predict.However, the frequency of flood-producing precipitation events is expected to increase with climate change. Heavy rainfall events (more than two inches in 48 hours) have occurred more often in recent decades than in the early 20th century, and this trend is likely to continue under warming conditions.Why does climate change cause more heavy rainfall events? Dave Wolfe, professor in Cornell's Horticulture Department, said rising ocean temperatures allow tropical storms to keep more of their strength as they travel northward over the ocean. Warmer waters can evaporate more moisture into the air, making more moisture available to create a stronger storm. Additionally, warmer air can hold more water vapor, which can condense into precipitation.For communities along the coast, sea level rise is a concern. This occurs as polar ice melts and ocean temperatures warm, causing ocean water to expand. The sea level at the New York City harbor has risen about 16 inches during the last century. Higher ocean levels will allow storm surges to reach further inland than they have historically. Sea level rise will also cause the Hudson River to rise, potentially altering current shoreline areas.In a warming world, there is expected to be an increase in the probability of extreme rainfall events, but it is impossible to determine if a particular storm would have occurred with or without climate change. Imagine a bag that holds white marbles, representing normal rainfall, and red marbles, representing extreme rainfall. Climate change adds more red marbles to the bag. If you randomly grab a red marble, you don't know if it was an original marble or one that was added by climate change.What is clear, however, is that we are seeing many of the climate changes predicted in New York and in the Hudson Valley, including an increase in heavy rainfall events, with periods of short-term drought in between.Given the facts, local communities and officials can start preparing now to reduce their risks and adapt to the climate changes that will continue.Jessica Rennells is a climatologist at the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell University, and Vicky Kelly is environmental monitoring program manager at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook.

Giant KFC bucket found in Ga. woman's front yard
Mysterious bucket stands 7 feet tall, showed up last Thursday morning
It's known for being "finger lickin" good. But when a Georgia woman found a 7-foot tall Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket in her front yard, she didn't know what to think.
"I was driving by, I saw this giant Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket in my yard, and I thought for sure I was hallucinating, so I called my teenagers who were at home and had them go outside," Aleena Headrick told Augusta TV station WAGT.
The bucket was indeed really there. It showed up last Thursday afternoon and Headrick has no idea why.
But she and her family are embracing the odd find. It's already become a popular local landmark, with people stopping by to take pictures with it.
"Too often we just need something to laugh about and so I put it on Facebook and told them that I would bring chicken to the next potluck," Headrick joked.
Her landlord, Freddie Taylor, collects old signs and told WAGT the bucket is quite a find.
He thinks it's at least 30 or 40 years old because of the font and graphics.
Taylor plans to mount the giant bucket on a pole so it will be permanently displayed for all to see.
"It's unusual but it makes really landmarks when people come to our house," Headrick told WAGT. "We can just say, 'Come down to the giant KFC bucket and turn right.'"

{{ event.description }}
Margao is the second largest city in the Indian state of Goa, located 33 km from the state capital Panaji.
Goa's cultural capital and commercial capital, this South Goa city is also the second-largest (after Vasco da Gama) by population but arguably the busiest. Being the administrative headquarters of South Goa might create a misleading picture; Margao too is close to the central coast.... the long white-sand beach stretch, rated by an early-1970s UNDP study as potentially one of the ten best beaches in the world.
This beach spans 30-odd unbroken kilometres, from Sancoale in the north to the Mobor Peninsula in the south. Margao lies somewhat in the middle of this beach, five kilometres eastwards. Hence a strategic base station for beaches like Velsao, Cansaulim, Arossim, Majorda, Betalbatim, Colva, Sernabatim, Benaulim, Varca, Fatrade, Cavelossim and Mobor.
Like other Goan places, Margao too gets called multiple names in different languages. It's called Madgaon by the Indian Railways, and the local Konkani pronunciation is Mudgannv or Modgannv. Margão is the Portuguese name and spelling.
Skirted in part by the River Sal, Margao is known for his huge Indo-Portuguese style mansions -- more visible around here than in other parts of Goa. Take a look around Abade Faria Road and its eastern parallel, the Padre Miranda Road, the area around the Holy Spirit Church and St. Joaquim Road that leads to Borda.
Margao is crowded and hot, but it's worth seeing. The hustle and bustle is quite incredible.
The nearest airport is Goa Airport, at Dabolim (28 km).
Margao is connected by road to other cities like Mangalore, Udupi, Karwar, Ratnagiri, and Mumbai through national highway 17. Also there is a road which connects Margao to Ponda and other towns in Goa.
Goa's biggest and most important railway station, 1 Madgaon Junction (IR station code : MAO), is located 2 km east of Margao town, off NH-17. Margao's railway station is big and important, an intersection of the Konkan Railway and the South Western Railway (earlier South Central Railway). It is the terminus station for several Konkan Railway trains, being a major station of this Mumbai to Mangalore rail line, after Ratnagiri. Almost all trains passing through Goa stop here, and it is the gateway to south Goa. There are direct trains from most parts of India including Delhi, Mumbai, Cochin, Mangalore and Bangalore. For a list of trains, see the main article.
Margao is also a convenient point to disembark for the beaches of Palolem (38 km) or Colva and Benaulim (about 6-8 km).
Margao is well connected with other cities of Goa by bus.
Express mini-buses run by the (Goa government) Kadamba Transport Corporation connect Margao to Panjim (Panaji), the state-capital. These mini-buses leave from the KTC Bus Stand, on the outskirts of Margao, and one needs to queue up to buy a ticket. They ply during peak hours (not after 8 pm or so).
Some inter-state buses touch Margao. For instance, buses headed to Bangalore via the Karwar route, touch Margao in the evenings, and pick up passengers there. Some of the buses for Bombay (Mumbai) leave from Margao, but this is only a few.
Buses connect the Margao-Panjim route till 9.30 pm.Margao is also connected to Ponda, Vasco-da-Gama, Canacona, Karwar and a number of outlying villages of Margao. Margao is a major terminus on the Konkan Railway route, and local and express trains connecting to Mumbai, Gujarat, Kerala, coastal Karnataka and Tamil Nadu halt here as per their schedules.
It is very easy to get a bike for rent in Goa, So go to any of the famous Motorcycle taxi guys and ask for a bike on rent and he will be ever happy to assist you. Auto rickshaws are very rare to find while Taxis (Maruti Omni's, ambassadors etc) are easily accessible.Motorcycle taxi's for single person are also effective. Private buses are also very effective in traveling within Margao and nearby locations. Remember one thing unlike other states Goa doesn't have separate men and women seating arrangement. So ladies please carry your equipment. Bus is cheap with maximum charges of around ₹6 for a 3-5 km distance.
Intercity/interstate trains leave from the bigger junction station about 2km from the centre of town. If you are getting a bus into the city and get dropped off here (just north of the main city square 2km), public busses only run 7am-7pm, but private buses run until about 11pm. They stop at the main rd entrance to the bus stand, close to the middle. It's ₹10 to the centre of town in a private bus.
Some landmarks in Margao include (around Abade Faria Road and Padre Miranda Road) include Presentation Convent (Holy Spirit Church area) and Fatima Convent (near the municipal square) are two of Margao's oldest unisex high schools started and being run by Catholic religious congregations, for girls.
Clergy Home along arterial Padre (Pe.) Miranda Road, near today's district hospital -- Hospicio, an unique edifice in its own right, founded by Rev. Antonio Joao de Miranda a humble Catholic clergyman, after whom the thoroughfare outside is named -- was among the first shelters for retiring priests built by the Goa Archdiocese. Seen today is the recently reconstructed version.
Clube Harmonia was called the Clube de Margao (subsequently renamed as Teatro de Harmonia) operating from a house at the Borda locality. The idea of a modern building for the Teatro de Harmonia was mooted by its members in 1936. The present structure was built 1955. Together with Bernado Peres da Silva (BPS) Club, Clube ABC and Margao Cricket Club, Harmonia is today a leading socio club of the town.
Hindu Mathagramasth Sabha: As the 'mathagram' in the name suggests, it's a Brahmin institution. Has rendered yeoman's service in education, irrespective of creed or caste, to Margaoites. Runs the Damodar Arts & Science Higher Secondary School (not to be mixed up with Damodar College, that's run by Vidhya Vikas Mandal, a different ball game), one of the best higher secondary schools in Goa, if one goes by Std. XII science board exam results.
Agha Khan's Children's Park: Few would be aware that the northern half of the Margao municipal garden was actually developed by a businessman, Abdul Javerbhai Mavany, hailing from Margao's minuscule Agakhani community. He did that after two young sons were lost to cancer and High Highness, The Agha Khan, was visiting Goa. The park was inaugurated by Goa's last Portuguese Governor General, Vassalo e Silva, in 1959.
Margao is home to the popular deity of Damodar, as reflected in names of local educational and other institutions.
It has four diocesan of churches, Holy Spirit in the central area, Our Lady of Grace adjoining the municipal square, St. Sebastian at Aquem and Rosary near the football stadium at Fatorda. The Holy Spirit, while entering the city from the Panjim side, is Salcete taluka's second-oldest (after the one first built within the Rachol Fort) built 1564-65, its present (fourth edition) edifice, re-built in 1645, being more grand.
The town has four chapels with near-Parish size following at Mungul, Ambajim, Borda and the picturesque 'Monte' hillock, all with resident Chaplains and regular daily services. In addition, there is a major church of the Carmelite order at Malbhat, besides half a dozen chapels of various religious orders from Jesuits to Salesians. A walk around this church-square reveals some grand homes, and great photo-opportunities. Check the scenic chapel on the nearby Monte Hill.
Check the scenic chapel on the nearby Monte Hill.
Gomant Vidhya Niketan: After Portugal became a republic in 1910, Margao based Hindus used the end of religious discrimination and their new found freedom to establish this noble institution on March 19, 1912. It was then known as Saraswat Brahman Samaj (renamed to the present in Nov-1962) and ran a public library at the southern end of Abade Faria road. The present building housing the library in the rear of the ground floor and an auditorium upstairs -- venue of most of Konkani and Marathi stage shows to this date -- was built 1965. The society also runs a physio-therapy centre from rented premises further down the road.
A modern stage centre, Ravindra Bhavan, recently completed and situated near Fatorda's Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru football stadium, promises to be South Goa's major centre for the performing art
Among the town's spots one could check out: the early 20th century municipal building (Câmara) and the municipal garden lying in front of it, the municipal garden, the recently-beautified Anna Fonte (natural springs), the Old Market or Mercado Velho, the Hindu crematorium ('smashant bhoomi'), the Catholic cemetery and the Muslim burial ground ('kabrasthan') all on Pajifond's Rua das Saudades.
Margao also hosts Goa's largest Nehru sports stadium, where one can run into popular off-monsoon evening football matches, and even the occasional international cricket Test match.
Konkan Railway is working on a Skybus (elevated rail system) which can be seen in Margao, amidst challenges on the fronts of costs and technology. Konkan Railway claims its Skybus, which technology it has patented, will follow the existing roads without taking "road space and be as flexible as a bus". It will have rail-based mass transit capacity, not divide the city, be derailment and collision-proof, free from vandalism, noise-free and pollution-free, and non-invasive (requiring the "least amount of scarce land space and not come in the way of development").
Margao's name is believed to come from "matha-grama" (the village of religious maths) as it was a village of temple schools (mathas) -- including the principal Vaishnavi 'math', Jeevottam, before it was shifted to Partagal in Canacona half a millennium ago. Margao's main Matha, Jeevottam, was shifted to Ordhofond, Partagal in Canacona in 1475, as political battles took on religious tones in those medieval days. Margao was also a temple town, with as many as 13 temples in 1544 when the population was around just five thousand, according to writer and former Margao municipality chief S Valmiki Faleiro.
Margao's Holy Spirit church square is also known for its baroque architectured church. It also is lined by palatial mansions around it. Structures in this area are low-rise, adding to the stately nature of the locality, with a maximum of two structures. Many have balconies (the balcao or balcoes) and varandas facing the square.
Running parallel to the Church Square is the Old Market's commercial street. Next to the church is a landscaped area called the Praca da Alegria (Square of Happiness).
Another landmark in Margao is the commercial-shopping area around the municipal garden and the old bus stand. Part of the garden was developed by the Mavany business family, and dedicated to the Aga Khan, during a visit of his to colonial Goa. Swami Vivekananda is also known to have stayed in the home of another business family, the influential Narcinva D. Naik residence, during a visit to Goa way back in 1892. The mansion also houses Margao's well-known temple-hall Damodar Sal.
In Aquem Alto, Arlem was Goa's first brewery started by the Chowgules at a locality of the same name (Arlem), on the outskirts of Margao. Incidentally, Goa's second brewery was the Mallya's, at Bethora-Ponda. Former politician Monte Cruz must have been the last to join the club with his brand of Kings.
Goa Bottling, better known locally as "Gold Spot" after the popular aerated softie it bottled in the yesteryears, was a latecomer to Goa. It straddles the corner junction of Margao-Ponda NH-4A and Margao's Eastern Bypass road. Among Goa's very first aerated soft drink bottlers was a seaman from Velim, who, immediately in the post-Liberation years, started his Crunet bottling unit at Borda, in Margao. Coke's Goa franchisee, the politically-prominent family of the Sequeiras, later started their unit in Borim. The mining-based Modu Timblo group later started Goa Bottling. It's now owned by Pepsi's Delhi-based principal franchisee in India.
Cupid's Haven is a recent-coinage open air event venue located nearby. It hosts dances and wedding receptions.
Also located nearby is Goa's second plant that makes industrial and medical oxygen gas from thin air, Goving Poy Oxygen. (The first was Gas Carbonico, on Margao's outskirts at Nuvem, a village that was once part of Margao. The company was taken over by Margao Govind Poys, once a smalltime hardware establishment that diversified into multi-purpose gases with factories in Cochin, Nashik and Goa.)
Also part of the city's map are places like the Pandava cave (near the current St. Sebastiao Church at Aquem, Torsannzor -- a healing mineral spring, more famous than Ana Fonte in yesteryears -- among others.
Some of the buildings are still styled in a colonial way, from the Portuguese past. Some places to visit in and around Margao are:
Margao also has a 'covered' market (earlier Mercado de Afonso de Albuquerque, near Pimplapedd or Pimpalakatta in Konkani), along Francisco Luis Gomes Road (a.k.a. Old Station Road), even if the town's main market today adjoins the Kadamba bus terminus near its northern reaches.
There are markets all over the place.
Margao isn't as rich in decent eating places, as compared to the touristic coast nearby. But because Margao is a town rather than a tourist destination, the restaurants are open year-round.
Check some on these list: The restaurant at Hotel Nanutel (Indian/Chinese/mixed). Longuinhos (Goan/Indian/Chinese). Hotel Woodlands' bar. The restaurant of Hotel Saaj (Malayalee specialities). Shahi Durbar along FL Gomes (Old Station) Road for Mughlai/Indian, with nice cuisine even if a crowded area. Gaylin along Varde Valaulikar Road (behind the Collectorate) and Rice Bowl at Reliance Park, along the Margao-Colva Road, just beyond the municipal limits (Chinese), which is worthy of a recommendation.
Places to stay include the GTDC-run Margao Residence, behind the municipal building; Hotel Woodlands; Nanutel; Hotel Saaj, behind Fatima Convent, Miguel Loyola Furtado Rd (Behind Fatima Convent); Government Rest House, Monte; and Gold Star Hotel, Isidorio Baptista Road.
GTDC-owned Margao Residency, a fair place to stay on a budget. Others: Woodlands, Margao's first multi-storeyed modern hotel (the ones before were lodges and traditional *pensoes* that almost went to rut), Hotel Saaj and the slightly upper middle-end Nanutel which stands on part of the Cine Metropole property, opposite Ana Fonte.
There are of course, numerous lodges further away from the city centre, (₹300-₹500), and with corresponding facilities. Milan, Goa Lodge, and a sprinkling around the Khareaband road leading to Benaulim, are generally patronised by outstation travelling salesmen. But there are better places to eat and stay outside of Margao proper.
Move on to the nearby beaches of Colva, Benaulim or Palolem.

The runway is shorter than in the previous events meaning trap speeds would not be equal due to a distance difference. The BimmerBoost.com E92 M3 has had its share of teething pains with the bigger YSI blower and complications arising from the level of torque/power with the dual clutch transmission but Gintani was able on a stock BMW DCT transmission to exceed the competition with a 173.07 mile per hour trap speed. This made for the only E9X chassis in the 170's and the next closest car (ESS-Tuning supercharged) was in the mid 160 range. A clear, distinct difference and victory.
Transmission and traction issues prevented further improvement but improvement will come as new transmission parts from Germany are on their way in order for the YSI supercharged E92 to be able to put all its power down and even increase boost from the supercharger. Here is a third party's take on how vehicles did at the event at certain power levels:
"Most 800rwhp cars were trapping about 160 (they moved the cones and everyone was trapping about 10mph+ slower than last year). I was at 165mph when the head lifted and I still had plenty of runway.. If I had to guess that trap would have been about 175mph. That was a rolling start at about 50-60mph at the cones. The 800rwhp cars were trapping 160 from a dig way back against the edge of the runway. Which I estimate put them probably at about 80mph when they hit the cones."
Most of the cars in the 800 whp range hit the 160 mile per hour trap range putting this performance level in perspective. Additionally, the dual clutch transmission shows just how efficiently it makes use of power trapping higher than cars at similar power levels. Are dual clutch transmissions a distinct performance advantage? Absolutely.
A strong turbocharged E46 M3 at a higher power level than the BimmerBoost.com E92 M3 ran 165 mile per hour traps. Showing not only can the E92 M3 run with turbocharged E46 M3's, it can beat them. A Lamborghini Aventador in attendance was running in the 150 trap range showing just how potent aftermarket upgraded German cars have become.
Congratulations to Gintani for a well deserved victory that has been a long time coming. Persistence and perseverance are the themes of the day. People may try to bring you down but ultimately it is up to you whether you give up. What you see here ladies and gentlemen is the result of consistent hard work which brings with it the fruits of that labor.
Oh, and what about the second place Gintani E63 M6? It features a DCT transmission swap paired to a supercharged S85 V10. Expect more details on this car in a dedicated article. Pictures below (no video as the cell phone video simply does not show anything in enough detail):

New London - City Council President Michael Passero said there was a time in the not-too-distant past when City Council members were kept informed by the city administration of major happenings in the city.
In the wake of a sexual assault in the downtown area that was first reported three days after the incident and was never formally reported to the council, Passero is calling for change.
He said media outlets have referred to the assault as a violent stranger rape, and information should have been released to both the council and citizens immediately.
"If that didn't happen, the administration has to get to the bottom of why it didn't happen. If there was a breakdown in protocol, we need to know what they're doing to correct it," Passero said Thursday. "I think at this point, somebody from the administration is going to have to come to the council and explain the situation. With the new form of government, we know nearly nothing, and we have to learn about it in the paper."
The sexual assault was reported to have occurred at about 1:30 a.m. on July 20 in an alleyway off Bank Street.
In a statement, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said any assertion that information was deliberately withheld by his office is untrue.
"All dissemination of information in this case has been handled directly by the New London Police Department and an internal review is ongoing within the department to assess how the information was released and to ascertain if any errors were made," Finizio said.
New London Police Deputy Chief Peter Reichard explained that the decision on whether or not to release information about any ongoing investigation is typically taken on a case-by-case basis.
He said he made the decision, in conjunction with investigators, not to immediately release details because of the sensitive nature of the case and the fact that it is an active, ongoing investigation. With any investigation, Reichard said the release of information could help or hinder investigators by alerting suspects and causing them to flee.
Reichard said the mayor's office had nothing to do with release of information.
"They don't control what we release from the police department," Reichard said.
Reichard said there were initially several suspects being considered, but they were later ruled out. Once they were ruled out, he said he sent out a statewide notification to other law enforcement agencies with a description of the suspect.
The description was released to The Day last week in response to a request for more information on the incident.
The suspect is described as a bald, overweight dark-skinned black man in his 40s, about 5 feet, 10 inches tall, who was wearing a white T-shirt and dark sweat pants. The man had no visible tattoos or scars and was reported to have foul body odor.
Detectives are still working the case, Reichard said, and physical evidence was recovered from the scene and from the victim. He said DNA evidence was submitted to the state crime lab - something that can help rule out or convict a suspect.
While Reichard said he believed it was an isolated incident, he said residents should always be aware of their surroundings when walking the streets late at night. He also recommended walking with others and parking or walking in well-lit areas.
Passero said he expects a conversation to continue at Monday's council meeting.

SKF hybrid bearings
Longer lasting under extreme conditions
Featuring a very smooth service finish and low conductivity, SKF hybrid bearings cut lubricant consumption and open up a wide range of possibilities for rolling bearings. Features include:
- Lower density - Silicon nitride balls have a density of only 40% of similar steel balls, enabling higher speeds, less weight, lower inertia, plus more rapid starts and stops.
- Low friction - Silicon nitride's low coefficient of friction enhances wear resistance, allowing bearings to run cooler even when they are poorly lubricated.
- Higher modulus of elasticity - Ceramic balls have 50% higher modulus elasticity than steel for increased bearing stiffness.
- Low conductivity - Ceramic balls act as a barrier to electrical current passing between inner and outer rings, thereby delivering a simple method of insulation.
- Lower coefficient of thermal expansion - Ceramic balls have a thermal expansion only 29% of similar steel balls, which allows less sensitivity to temperature gradients for more accurate preload control.
