Alberto is the first named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season .
No watches or warnings are in effect . | (CNN) -- Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, formed Saturday off the coast of South Carolina. Forecasters predict fewer hurricanes this year . As of 5 p.m., the storm was located about 140 miles east-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina, with maximum sustained winds of 45 miles per hour, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. It was churning southwest at 3 mph. No coastal watches or warning were in effect, though a tropical storm watch could be issued for parts of the coast later Saturday, the Hurricane Center said. Is there severe weather near you? Share your photos and videos on iReport (but stay safe) Despite being over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, Alberto is not expected to intensify much over the next couple of days. That is due, in part, to the presence of a cool and dry air mass to the north and west of the tropical storm, said CNN meteorologist Sean Morris. The forecast track shows Alberto moving slowly toward the south-southwest over the next day or so and then accelerating rapidly toward the northeast, away from the U.S. coast on Monday. This year marks the first time in recorded history that a tropical storm has formed in both the east Pacific basin and Atlantic basin before the official start of hurricane season, the Hurricane Center said. The Pacific storm was called Aletta. The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1. |

I'm almost asleep and I feel like I'm falling and I physicaly jerk. What's happening? | There are a few theories as to why this happens. No one has a conclusive answer. However, the most widely accepted theory is this. When we were monkeys, and used to live in trees, we had tails. When we were falling asleep and didn't want to fall out of the tree, we would jerk ourselves and it would set our tails up and legs to move to grab onto the nearest branch. It's basically a auto response developed over millions of years so we didn't get eaten by cobras. |

Why does Coke (or any soda) taste a lot sweeter when it’s at room temperature, compared to when it’s cold? | Coldness numbs the taste receptors on the tongue and mouth. It can hide a variety of sins (think chilled booze shots instead of room temperature ones). It can hide sweetness (here), bitterness (iced coffee versus room temperature coffee -- heat can also mask these flavors), etc. Also, room temperature soda gas less carbonation. Carbon dioxide forms an acid in solution that can balance sweetness. Flat soda at any temperature tastes sweeter than carbonated soda at the same temp. |

What can be done so that we can filter Carbon monoxide (other heavy metals) from this vehicles before it gets released into the air? | Top Gear actually did a segment on this.

Carbon Monoxide isn't technically a "Heavy Metal", it's not any kind of metal. Unless Lead is still being used in the fuel, there shouldn't be any metals (heavy or otherwise) in the exhaust. |

the value of USD vs the euro. If the dollar is worth more than the euro, does that mean I have more money if I go over to Europe? | I have lived all over the world while still getting paid in dollars so I think I can answer this. In short yes, if you convert your dollars to the local currency you will have more than you would in dollars. The longer answer is that even if you have more Euro doesn't mean that you could buy the same amount of stuff as you could with the relatively smaller amount of dollars. There is something called purchasing power parity, and it is used to describe the "worth" of a currency in what can be bought with it. There is something called the "big mac index" and it basically illustrates how many hours you would have to work in a day to purchase a big mac. So if I have 3 dollars, got to Europe and exchange that for 5 euro. but a big mac is 3 dollars in the US and 5 Euro in Germany, then my 3 dollars are "worth" the same as the 5 euros. This is a massive oversimplification but this is ELI5 and I think it illustrates the point fairly well, if not at exactly a 5 year old level. |

I'm triying to find the law that says children are grown at age 17 in missouri. What's the parents obligation? | Why don't you try to support your child for once and let her experience life instead of protecting her from it? Your child could have filed for emancipation at the age of 12 if she wanted to and you would have had no legal right to her. If she wants to be at home, she'll come home. Until then, maybe you should try to treat her like the adult that she will be in less than a years time instead of like the 10-year-old that she hasn't been in quite some time. I left my home when I was 16 and moved in with my aunt because I couldn't deal with living with my parents. \n\nJust because you think you're right doesn't mean that you are and just because your daughter thinks she's right doesn't mean she is. Maybe, and I know other parents don't like to hear this, you were wrong. Just get over it.\n\nYour daughter may be physically 17 years of age, but that doesn't mean that her mental development didn't speed up at some point. You're going to do nothing but put strain on your relationship with your daughter if you try to force her to come home. Instead try to support her, see if she needs help with paying for rent and getting through school. Maybe getting a job. \n\nI'm thinking that you and your daughter have problems because you don't even know where she lives now. Even though I'm grown, my parents at least know where to come live with me because they apologized to me for everything that had occured in my youth because of them. Just because you're the parent doesn't make you right. Your daughter isn't just your daughter, she's also herself. She has to be herself or she's just a copy of you. That's not why you had children and you know it. |

Which is better, Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? | This is another of those many asked questions, and I think "thequeen.." has a point.

Well she got me hooked and I've enjoyed her works.\nJRRT is from a different time and a different society. A master at languages, he had the background to build a literary masterpiece. Plus he was a pioneer in the mythological/scifi trilogy genre.\nJKR has had the benefit of growing up with a lot of authors who let their imaginations run rampant. And she produced, on her first try, a best-seller.\n\nFor me, it's just enjoy them both. Embrace the imagination it inspires in you. |

Bill Clinton said Tuesday his wife's claim that they were 'dead broke' after his presidency was 'factually true'
He and Hillary are not 'out of touch,' he insisted, because they go to the grocery store and 'talk to people in our town'
An April Congressional Research Service report found that the federal government has spent $15.9 million on Bill Clinton's retirement since 2001 .
He got $1.28 million in benefits the year after he left office .
Clinton said Tuesday that attacking his wife as a wealthy elite in the run-up to the 2016 election is 'the wrong debate'
This year Clinton's costs include a $201,000 pension, $157,000 for staff salaries and benefits, $414,000 for office space and $9,000 for phone bills .
Former president George W. Bush spends even more, costing taxpayers $1.28 million this year and averaging 4 per cent more per year than Clinton .
The government inexplicably budgeted $102,000 for Bush's telephone expenses in 2014, and planned to spend $135,000 more on furniture, computers, office supplies and other miscellany . | Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are worth between $10 and $50 million, according to their financial disclosure forms – but taxpayers will still pony up nearly $1 million this year to fund their post-White House lifestyle. Like the three other living former presidents, Jimmy Carter and the two George Bushes, Clinton receives a $201,000 annual pension. But that just scratches the surface of the government benefits he shares with his wife Hillary. The total for 2014 also includes $157,000 for staff salaries and benefits, $414,000 for office space and $9,000 for phone bills. In all, The Washington Post first reported, taxpayers are providing Clinton with $944,000 in post-presidential pay and benefits. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . Overkill? Bill Clinton costs taxpayers nearly $1 million every year, five times what his salary was during his presidency . Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is scrambling to redefine her public image, with husband Bill saying Tuesday that focusing on their joint wealth is 'the wrong debate' to have as the 2016 election season approaches . Public art subsidy? Former president George W. Bush got $1.28 million in government payments and benefits this year while he painted portraits . Nice digs: Taxpayers shelled out $414,000 this year for Bill Clinton's office in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City . That tab was $1.28 million in 2002, the year after he left office, according to a Congressional Research Service report cited by the Post and the Washington Free Beacon. Hillary Clinton was lambasted in the press for saying on June 9 that she and Bill were 'dead broke' after their White House tenure. Her rhetorical play at poverty during an ABC News interview included the claim that she and Bill 'struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea’s education, you know – it was not easy.' The CRS report, issued in April, also noted that government payments and benefits for former President George W. Bush outstripped Clinton's in every full year since Bush left the White House. Bush the younger is costing taxpayers $1.28 million this year, and averages 4 per cent more annual than Clinton. The government's General Services Administration inexplicably budgeted $102,000 for Bush's telephone expenses in 2014, and planned to spend $135,000 more on furniture, computers, office supplies and other miscellany. The former president and first lady both tried to pivot away from the national frenzy over their elite financial status on Tuesday, with Bill Clinton saying that his wife is 'not out of touch' with the middle-class Americans. During an annual Clinton Global Initiative conference in Denver, he told event moderator David Gregory of NBC’s 'Meet the Press' on stage that discussing their millions is 'the wrong debate' to have in the run-up to the 2016 election season. Instead, according to Businessweek, he claimed the public should focus on how to counter the 'demise of the American dream.' He acknowledged that Hillary didn’t 'give the most adept answer' to questions about whether they were as wealthy as Republican politicians who have been tripped up by insinuations of upper-class snobbery. 'You can say, "OK, I gotta clean that up," which she did,' he claimed. But 'it is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt,' Clinton said, and reporters 'should put this in some sort of context.' He also claimed that he had 'the lowest net worth of any American president in the twentieth century when I took office, but I still could have been tone deaf. And, you know, now I don’t. And we’ve got a great life and I’m grateful for it.' 'But I still, we go to our local grocery store on the weekend. We talk to people in our town. We know what’s going on. The real issue is, if you’ve been fortunate enough to be successful, are you now out of touch and insensitive to the agonizing struggles other people are facing?' Pivot: On Tuesday in Denver Bill Clinton tried to reposition his wife Hillary, the former secretary of state, describing her as a warrior for poor and middle-class Americans instead of a wealthy, out-of-touch elitist . At the same Denver event, Hillary Clinton repositioned herself as a warrior for the downtrodden, including poor children. Upward mobility 'really does take a village,' she said. Mrs. Clinton hasn't yet said whether she will run for president. Her . missteps in recent weeks, along with lackluster sales of her memoir . 'Hard Choices,' have become the first chink in what was thought to be an . unassailable political armor. The Former Presidents Act of 1958 provides one-time residents of the White House with pensions, office expenses, professional staff, coverage for medical care, and lifetime Secret Service protection. Utah Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz tried to change the arrangement in 2012 with his Presidential Allowance Modernization Act, but it died in committee. The legislation would have capped the government's total spending on any former president to $400,000. And that amount would have been reduced dollar-for-dollar by any money they earned. Ka-ching: Bill Clinton and George W. Bush together collect more than $2 million each year in taxpayer money and benefits -- not including the cost of Secret Service protection -- and will continue that pace until they die . According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, George W. Bush costs taxpayers more in his post-presidency than any other former president . Under that scenario, Clinton would have received nothing this year and last year. His earnings for individual speeches reportedly can top $500,000. 'Nobody wants our former presidents living the remainder of their lives destitute," Chaffetz said at the time, 'but the fact is none of our former presidents are poor.' 'Reports actually indicate that between book tours and speaking fees, these men are making millions of dollars a year. There's little reason why American taxpayers should be subsidizing these former presidents when they're doing fine on their own.' Jimmy Carter, who left office in 1981, spends the least among the four living former presidents. His office space costs just $109,000 per year, and the GSA budgeted $466,000 for his total upkeep in 2014. |
