Study: Bacteria outbreak due to ocean warming

LONDON?? Manmade climate change is the main driver behind the unexpected emergence of a group of bacteria in northern Europe which can cause gastroenteritis, new research by a group of international experts shows.

The paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change on Sunday, provided some of the first firm evidence that the warming patterns of the Baltic Sea have coincided with the emergence of Vibrio infections in northern Europe.

Vibrios is a group of bacteria which usually grow in warm and tropical marine environments. The bacteria can cause various infections in humans, ranging from cholera to gastroenteritis-like symptoms from eating raw or undercooked shellfish or from exposure to seawater.

A team of scientists from institutions in Britain, Finland, Spain and the United States examined sea surface temperature records and satellite data, as well as statistics on Vibrio cases in the Baltic.

They found the number and distribution of cases in the Baltic Sea area was strongly linked to peaks in sea surface temperatures. Each year the temperature rose one degree, the number of vibrio cases rose almost 200 percent.

"The big apparent increases that we've seen in cases during heat wave years (..) tend to indicate that climate change is indeed driving infections," Craig Baker-Austin at the UK-based Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, one of the authors of the study, told Reuters.

Climate studies show that rising greenhouse gas emissions made global average surface temperatures increase by about 0.17 degrees Celsius a decade from 1980 to 2010.

The Vibrio study focused on the Baltic Sea in particular because it warmed at an unprecedented rate of 0.063 to 0.078 degrees Celsius a year from 1982 to 2010, or 6.3 to 7.8 degrees a century.

"(It) represents, to our knowledge, the fastest warming marine ecosystem examined so far anywhere on Earth," the paper said.

Many marine bacteria thrive in warm, low-saline sea water. In addition to warming, climate change has caused more frequent and heavier rainfall, which has reduced the salt content of estuaries and coastal wetlands.

As ocean temperatures continue to rise and coastal regions in northern regions become less saline, Vibrio bacteria strains will appear in new areas, the scientists said.

Vibrio outbreaks have also appeared in temperate and cold regions in Chile, Peru, Israel, the northwest U.S. Pacific and northwest Spain, and these can be linked to warming patterns, the scientists said.

"Very few studies have looked at the risk of these infections at high latitudes," Baker-Austin said.

"Certainly the chances of getting a vibrio infection are considered to be relatively low, and more research is focused on areas where these diseases are endemic or at least more common," he added.

Previous Vibrio outbreaks in colder regions have often been put down to a sporadic event or special conditions rather than a response to long-term climate change.

This is because the effects of global warming can be more pronounced at higher latitudes and in areas which lack detailed historical climate data, the study said.

Baker-Austin said there was a growing realization that climate and the emergence of some infectious diseases were closely linked but there are some "huge data gaps in that area which need addressing."

Why You Need Boat Insurance

Article Body:
Some people simply overlook boat insurance. They think that nothing bad is going to happen, when in reality, bad things often happen involving boats!

If you own a boat, you need boat insurance. In fact, many states now require boat owners to carry Watercraft Liability insurance before they transport or operate a boat. If your boat has been financed, your lender will almost always require you to carry full coverage boat insurance.

Again, most people don?t think anything bad will happen ? but bad things do indeed occur!

Vandalism is one problem that you may encounter. This is especially true if you dock your boat in a marina. Vandalism can also occur when you park your boat at your home, or at a hotel when traveling.

When you shop for insurance, make sure that vandalism is covered on your policy. Most issuers of boat insurance will only offer you the Watercraft Liability ? but in most cases, you need more coverage than that! Theft is another possibility. Cars are stolen all the time ? but boats are stolen as well. In fact, stealing a boat is easier than stealing a car!

Boat insurance should cover you in the event of vandalism, theft, sinking, fire, storms, capsizing, stranding, collision, and explosion. Furthermore, the insurance should cover the boat, the motor, and the trailer used to transport the boat. The boat should be covered no matter who is operating the boat, as long as they are legally allowed to operate the vessel.

Boat insurance will typically cover you in the event of malfunction as well. If something happens to your motor, it should be covered by your insurance. It should also cover you in the event that your boat needs to be towed back to shore.

What you are covered for depends on what type of coverage you purchased through your insurance agent. For this reason, it is important to know what type of coverage is available. Not all insurance companies will offer all types of coverage, but they will offer Watercraft Liability and Watercraft Medical payments.

Watercraft liability covers you just like car liability insurance protects you in the event of an accident where you are found to be at fault. Medical payments will cover medical expenses incurred by you and the occupants of your boat that are the result of a boating accident in the covered water vessel.

Optional insurance usually includes coverage for reasonable repairs, emergency services to your boat, motor, or boat trailer, and wreck removal. Wreck removal is very important coverage to have. If you boat sinks, it will need to be raised before an insurance company can access the damages and pay your claim. This is very expensive, and in most states, the law requires you to remove wrecked or sunken vessels.

Boats may be luxury items ? but they are very expensive luxury items.

Repairing or replacing a boat may not be something that you can easily afford ? but in most cases, you will find that boat insurance is quite affordable. However, if you are thinking in terms of cost, and you think that you cannot afford the boat coverage, you can be certain that you will not be able to afford to repair or replace the boat either!

No matter how you look at it, you need boat insurance, even if you just purchase the watercraft liability coverage. Again, most states now require this liability coverage for water vessels, and if the boat is financed, the optional coverage may be required as well.

Discuss your boat insurance coverage needs with your insurance agent to determine what coverage is right for you and your boat.

Tameka Raymond's Son Kile Glover Dies Of Heart Failure After Jet ...

Tameka Raymond?s 11 year old son Kile Glover died early this morning after being hospitalized following a freak jet ski accident on Lake Lanier (July 21, 2012).

Kile, whose father is Atlanta TV executive Ryan Glover, suffered a critical brain injury and was unresponsive when pulled from the lake following the mid afternoon crash which occured on July 6th.

It had been reported that?Kile was brain dead and that doctors felt that a full recovery was unlikely.

While earlier reports suggested that that Kile was taken off life support, it was later clarified by the family that Kile died of heart failure.

According to WSBTV,

A?family friend told Channel 2 Action News the stepson of singer Usher Raymond died of heart failure on Saturday morning, approximately two weeks after he got hurt in a Lake Lanier accident.

A friend of the child?s family had earlier reported that Kile was taken off life support but later clarified that the child died of heart failure.

Funeral arrangements have not been disclosed, but will be reportedly handled by Willie A. Watkins Funeral Home, who declined to provide any additional immediate information.

Kile?s big brother Ryan posted the following tribute in his honor, stating:

RIP lil brother. Kile I love you zoo much and I wish I was the one in Heaven instead of you. From now on, everything I do is for you, ily man

> My sincerest condolences go out to Tameka, Ryan and their entire family during this difficult time.

Children's Health & Fitness ? A Solution To Childhood Obesity

July 19th, 2012 by Len Saunders

From Red Orbit?..

Local youth fitness expert, Mark Stainthorpe, recently announced The Gym?s launch of Youth Fit Sports Camp (YFSC), Elkins Park?s first youth fitness sports camp specifically designed to combat childhood obesity, to improve youth fitness and sports performance.

Stainthorpe said, ?Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions with factors such as school budget cutbacks that have significantly reduced physical education and activity, unhealthy food choices, excessive ?screen usage?-computers, TV, and video games, all contributing to the dilemma. Currently, over 50% of our children are overweight and almost 20% are obese. Unless obesity is reduced, today?s youth will lead less healthy and shorter lives than their parents.?

?To help battle childhood obesity and to introduce kids ages 8-15 to a healthy fitness lifestyle in a safe, fun, non-intimidating format,? Stainthorpe remarked. ?We?re elated to begin offering an effective youth fitness and sports program in the Elkins Park area.?

Stainthorpe says that providing youth fitness programming is a natural extension of The Gym?s commitment to the community: ?We have always been committed to offering quality programs and services to our community such as The Gym?s adult Elkins Park Boot Camp in 2011, so offering this much needed program for the children of our adult Boot Camp was a no-brainer.?

?It?s unfortunate that there are so many unhealthy children. The vast majority of kids today have sedentary lifestyles, even if they are participating in limited sports activities.? Stainthorpe commented that ?YFSC?s Group Fitness Programs will engage children to start moving again and are designed with their safety and fun in mind; if it?s not fun, your children are not going to stick with it.?

The talks were devoted to the prospects of partnership development in the energy sector.

The parties discussed the ongoing cooperation and the opportunities for its extension as well as a subject matter and the schedules for the joint research that would have to outline the effective parameters for future relationships between the two companies in the Chinese gas market.

As part of experience sharing, the parties agreed to assign a group of Gazprom?s technical experts to the shale gas fields being currently developed by CNPC. Within the first trip scheduled for July 17, 2012, Gazprom?s experts will visit the production facilities of the Changning field, near the Yibin town (Sichuan Province).
