RENO, Nev. -- A suspicious device along a hiking trail prompted a police investigation in Lemmon Valley Saturday evening.
A Reno Police Lieutenant tells KOLO 8 News Now that at about 6:30pm someone who was hiking off of Lemmon Dr. near Bravo reported seeing a device that could have been an explosive. After an investigation, police determined it was not a threat.

Length of Jewfish dock causes concern
Date: February 4, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis and Robin Hartill
The Jewfish Key boat dock will grow in size if the Zoning Board of Adjustment approves a variance request next week to extend the current 50-foot dock an additional 176-feet into Sarasota Bay.
And Longbeach Village residents are worried about the expansion of a dock that would grow from a single dock to a multi-use dock.
Longbeach Village Association Michael Drake addressed the issue at the group's Feb. 3 meeting.
"This would allow a 500-square-foot dock to grow to 2,150 square feet on the easterly side of Jewfish Key," Drake said. "That's almost (the size of) a football field."
Drake expressed concerns that if approved, it would set a precedent and a dock that size could eventually be built on the west side of Jewfish Key and be an eyesore for Village residents.
But Town Planner Steve Schield said that's not the case.
"This dock variance wouldn't set a precedent at all," Schield said.
Two town boards postponed a request for a variance and special exception to the main Jewfish Key boat dock, which acts as the main thoroughfare for residents getting on and off the island, last month.
The move put the future of the dock and how residents get on and off the island easily at risk because a portion of the dock that was added illegally in 2004 is set for removal by state and town officials within the next 15 days.
The Jewfish Preservation Association Inc., which acts as the homeowners association for the five homes and 16 total deeded home lots on the island, brought forward a variance request to the Zoning Board of Adjustment Jan. 14, which would allow the dock to extend 125 feet farther into Sarasota Bay than currently allowed.
The request asked the town to reconstruct the common dock that's used by residents and construction workers, to allow for eight mooring areas and have an overall projection into the water of 175 feet.
Because a large sandbar west of Jewfish Key makes it impossible for at least five of the lots to build their own private docks, the main dock is crucial to some current and future residents trying to get to and from the mainland. Construction workers and businesses that offer their services to the island also use the dock.
But the current main dock, which consists of a loading platform that construction workers use, was illegally altered and the area around the dock was illegally dredged in 2004. As a condition of obtaining a building permit for the proposed new dock, and as part of a consent order from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to close the violation case, the section of the dock that was illegally added needs to be removed.
But at the January zoning board meeting, Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson asked for a continuance of the request until the board's February meeting, so it can work with the applicant to consider adding additional spaces for boats.
At the meeting, attorney Michael Friday told the board that the dock would provide access for only three of the five homeowners and access for the remainder of the buildable home lots. Two of the current homeowners did not wish contribute money to the dock or be a part of its renovation and Friday said if they wanted access in the future, they would have to come back to the town to make a zoning request to do so.
But Simpson said she would rather the town work with the applicant to see if it can create a dock that would work for all involved parties and would eliminate the need for future variance requests.
What the planning staff is bringing back to the zoning board for its Feb. 11 meeting is a revised variance request that allows the other two lot owners with shallow lots to come back at any time to add onto the dock.
So instead of building a 12-slip, 226-feet dock, the current request is asking for an eight-slip boat dock with six boatlifts and two community slips.
And the dock can be expanded to allow for the additional four slips and length if the other lot owners want slips at a future date.
"The intent is to build a dock that can accommodate all the lot owners on the west side of the island without them having to come back to the town to ask for another variance," said Town Planner Steve Schield.

- These people illegally killed critical seagrasses, hired an illegal dredger to cut channels on both sides of the island...ignored the law knowingly and now they have the gall to request a longer dock? It would be a travesty if this is approved!

President Obama, following a day trip to Florida Tuesday to once again sell his stimulus plan, will host the 49 conservative House Democrat members of the Blue Dog Coalition at the White House on the eve of a crucial three-day stretch for the massive spending bill.
The Blue Dogs are moderate and conservative House Democrats who have become a key constituency in recent years as Democrats have won many seats in right-leaning Republican districts.
These members are by and large particularly keen on fiscal conservatism, and they will be important to getting the stimulus bill through the House when it comes back for a vote following conference committee.
The Senate is all but guaranteed to pass an $838 billion version of the stimulus tomorrow, which will then move the bill to conference committee, where it will have to be reconciled with an $821 billion version passed by the House last week.
The president wants the bill on his desk by the weekend.
Obama is heading to Fort Myers, Fla., tomorrow, arriving in the Sunshine state (where Obama staffers going on the trip cheerfully informed me it will be 81 degrees) just after 11 a.m. for a noontime town hall meeting, where he'll again push Congress to move quickly, using a down and out town as a real-life example of why Congress should not delay.
Fort Myers is a conservative town in a county, Lee County, that voted for Republican presidential candidate John McCain 54 percent to Mr. Obama's 44 percent (147,608 to 119,701) last fall. It also approved a same-sex marriage ban by a 64 to 35 percent margin.
Obama's event will be a repeat of today's town hall in Elkhart, Ind., in terms of timing during the day's news cycle and in terms of the area's economic problems. Elkhart has seen unemployment triple from 4.7 percent to 15.3 percent in the last year, while Fort Myers' unemployment has gone from 6 percent to 10 percent.
Fort Myers has also been hit hard by home foreclosures, largely because it was an area with lots of development prior to the real estate bubble's burst in 2007.
But because of Fort Myers' conservatism, expect a few more tough questions than the one the president got today, from a Sean Hannity fan. Here's what I wrote about that exchange in today's story:
The Hannity fan said Mr. Obama should have a beer with Mr. Hannity and then asked the president about failed Cabinet nominees such as former Sen. Tom Daschle, who she said are "not trustworthy, can't handle their own budget and taxes," drawing boos from the audience.
Mr. Obama shushed the audience, saying the question was "perfectly legitimate," and then once again admitted a mistake in going forward with the Daschle nomination despite the former Senate majority leader's problems with back taxes. He also defended his administration's new ethics guidelines, which include measures to block former executive branch employees from going directly into lobbying the government.
"We have not been perfect, but we are changing the culture in Washington, and it's going to take some time," Mr. Obama said.
"Now, with respect to Sean Hannity, I didn't know that he had invited me for a beer," Mr. Obama said, as the crowd laughed. "Generally, his opinion of me does not seem to be very high. But I'm always good for a beer."

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Ticonderoga head coach Bob Sutphen could not have been any more pleased with his defense in the first half.
The Sentinels (4-3, 1-0) suffocated the Plattsburgh High offense to -13 rushing yards in the first half, while jumping out to a 27-0 lead in a 34-6 victory in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference football Saturday.
"We were able to establish pressure early and it was key," Sutphen said. "Our players did a good job preparing and making sure they knew their assignments throughout the week of practice. They were quick to recognize various formations and that allowed us to take away a lot of angles."
Running back Miles Austin opened the game's scoring at 5:36 of the first quarter with a 1-yard score to put the Sentinels on top 7-0.
The senior, who entered the day with 617 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the year, finished the contest with 38 yards on nine carries and a score.
"We got off the bus and played with intensity," Austin said. "(Michael Graney) was throwing the ball downfield, which gave us good field position. It's a credit to my teammates and our coaching staff for the performance in the first quarter."
Jarryn Granger extended the differential to 14 when a 3-yard score following an Austin interception on the defensive ball.
Then, Graney wrapped up first quarter scoring on 1-yard plunge and showed versatility with his arm, completing 3-of-3 passes for 87 yards in the first quarter.
"When (Plattsburgh High's) defense was sniffing out the run, we were able to take advantage of some of those mismatches in the secondary," Sutphen said. "They made us earn it, though. We got inside their 5-yard line and it took a good four or five plays before we could get into the end zone."
With the halfway mark in the second quarter quickly approaching, Ticonderoga elected to go with a wildcat formation that resulted in a 28-yard touchdown strike from Granger to Garrison Hughes.
Hughes, a sophomore on the squad that was called up to the varsity level in the fourth week of the season, saw time at quarterback in the second half.
"It's nice from a coaching standpoint that players from our JV program can move up and adjust to the game speed so quickly," Sutphen said. "(Hughes) is obviously good at making checks at the line of scrimmage and can effectively run the option. He's a nice asset to our team as we approach playoff time."
Jacob Crowe grabbed a scoring toss from Hughes just 4:04 into the third quarter.
The Hornets executed their lone end zone appearance of the afternoon with a Nate Leopard 26-yard touchdown reception from quarterback D'Andre Lemieux.
Plattsburgh High, who is automatically locked in a playoff spot next weekend at Peru, finished the first half with 50 yards in penalties
Ticonderoga plays host to winless AuSable Valley in a crossover game Friday night, but Sutphen knows his team can't take the Patriots lightly.
"If you've watched them throughout the course of the year, you've seen them get significantly better," Sutphen said. "I feel bad that we're their last game on the (regular season) schedule because they've hit their peak. They're not your standard 0-8 team, especially after (Friday's) 14-7 loss to Beekmantown."

Over the last 24 years, I've voted in six different presidential elections...but don't ask me who I voted for. Not because of wanting to keep it secret, but because I literally couldn't tell you. I flat-out don't remember. It was mostly the Libertarian candidates, maybe a Nader thrown in once for good measure, but never one of the "Big Two." When I tell anyone this, they always ask me why I throw my vote away like that? I always tell them the same thing: "My vote doesn't count."
As long the United States continues to elect our president through the Electoral College, I'll contend that my vote doesn't count. And neither does yours if you're not a Republican in South Carolina.
In last month's election, like the previous 7 or 8, it was known well before the polls closed that South Carolina would go to the Republican candidate. So, if you're a Democrat, why bother to vote? You already know the outcome. It's like if you're a fan of a football team, and you knew in advance that your team was going to lose this weekend's big rivalry game, would you bother to watch it? If you're a really big fan, you might tune in periodically to see your favorite players. You might even check the score to see if the predictions were wrong and your team actually had a chance. But when you see the writing on the wall, that your team didn't have a chance to win just like the experts said, you tune out and lose interest. Your support was in vain.
South Carolina isn't the only state where this occurs. If you're a Republican in New York or California, it's the same for you. Your vote doesn't count either. So now I don't feel so alone.
Obviously, there were a handful of states where every vote did count...the so-called 'battleground states." Those were the states where neither candidate held a big enough advantage to be determined the winner in advance. That's why nearly a billion dollars was spent in these 12 states and not a penny in South Carolina. That's why the candidates visited Iowa, Nevada and Pennsylvania over and over again...but ignored you and me. The message is clear: the only way my vote for president counts, is if I move to Florida, Ohio, North Carolina or some other state where Democrats and Republicans live in some sort of harmonic balance.
But I want my vote to count...and I want my vote to count without moving to another state.
People braver than I have fought for my freedoms and rights...including the right to vote. People in other countries die in revolt against tyrants so they can choose their own leader.
The framers of the Constitution were some of the smartest men our country has ever produced. When they came up with the idea of the Electoral College, it was smart...making sure the smaller states weren't over-run by the will of the larger states. It was also put into place to make sure elections weren't hijacked by a small group of people with lots of money and influence (not that something like that would ever happen today). But that was put into place before women were even allowed to vote and African slaves were given their freedom...let alone the right to vote.
That was 225 years ago and the country was made up of states that were radically different from one another. People considered themselves to be Virginians or New Yorkers or whatever you call someone from Connecticut. I've lived in South Carolina for 25 years but I consider myself to be an American. I'd like my vote to be counted alongside people from New Jersey, Utah and Mississippi...not segregated by geography. If you want to decide who should be leading the country, the only fair measure is to see who gets the most votes. The most votes wins...period.
There have been four times in U.S. history where the candidate who got the most popular votes lost the election due to the quirkiness of the Electoral College...the most recent, of course in 2000.
One person, one vote - it's the only fair way. What are you afraid of...that there are more of 'them' than there are of you?

What you will learn from this book
Chapter 1 looks at what VPNs are, how they evolved during the last decade, why it is necessary to modern enterprises, how typical VPNs work. The chapter also covers some essential networking concepts.
Chapter 2 explains VPN security issues, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, the SSL/TLS library, and SSL certificates.
Chapter 3 introduces OpenVPN. In this chapter, we learn about the history of OpenVPN, how OpenVPN works, and how OpenVPN compares to IPSec VPN applications.
Chapter 4 covers installing OpenVPN on both Windows, the Mac, Linux, and FreeBSD. It covers the installation on Linux from the source code and RPM packages. Installation on Suse and Debian is covered in detail.
In Chapter 5, an encryption key for OpenVPN is created and it is then used to setup up our first OpenVPN Tunnel between two windows systems in the same network. The key is then copied on a Linux system and this system is connected through a tunnel to the first windows machine.
Chapter 6 shows how to create x509 server and client certificates for use with OpenVPN. easy-rsa which comes with OpenVPN and is available for both Windows and Linux is used.
Chapter 7 reviews the syntax of the command line tool openvpn, which enables building tunnels quickly. The configuration options of openvpn are covered in detail with examples.
Chapter 8 shows how to make the example tunnels created earlier safer and persistent by choosing a reliable combination of configuration file parameters. It then covers how to configure firewalls on Linux and Windows to work with OpenVPN.
Chapter 9 focuses on using xca, the advanced Windows tool with which x509 certificates can be easily managed. Its Linux equivalent, Tinyca2, which can even manage multiple certificate authorities, is also covered.
Chapter 10 covers advanced OpenVPN configurations, including Tunneling through a proxy server, pushing routing commands to clients, pushing and setting the default route through a tunnel, Distributed compilation through VPN tunnels with distcc, and OpenVPN scripting.
Chapter 11 shows how to debug and monitor VPN tunnels. It covers standard networking tools that can be used for scanning and testing the connectivity of a VPN server.
In Detail
OpenVPN is a powerful, open source SSL VPN application. It can secure site-to-site connections, WiFi and enterprise-scale remote connections. While being a full-featured VPN solution, OpenVPN is easy to use and does not suffer from the complexity that characterizes other IPSec VPN implementations. It uses the secure and stable TLS/SSL mechanisms for authentication and encryption.
This book is an easy introduction to this popular VPN application. After introducing the basics of security and VPN, the book moves on to cover using OpenVPN, from installing it on various platforms, through configuring basic tunnels, to more advanced features, such as using the application with firewalls, routers, proxy servers, and OpenVPN scripting.
While providing only necessary theoretical background, the book takes a practical approach, presenting plenty of examples.
This book is a comprehensive guide to using OpenVPN for building both secure VPNs. The book is written in a very friendly style that makes this complex topic easy and a joy to read. It first covers basic VPN concepts, then moves to introduce basic OpenVPN configurations, before covering advanced uses of OpenVPN. This book is for both experienced and new OpenVPN users.
Visit the Free Online Edition for OpenVPN: Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks and learn more about the book and discover what each chapter from this book has in store.
Who this book is for
Network administrators and any one who is interested in building secure VPNs using OpenVPN. It presumes basic knowledge of Linux, but no knowledge of VPNs is required. All basic VPN and relevant security concepts are covered.

One of the unsung stories of the Republican Convention was the common thread amongst it minority speakers dispelling the myth that the United States is class-based society. Unlike other nations of the world where the class system has existed within their country as a remnant of the feudal system they left behind, the United States lacks that history. Since the Pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock, this land has been the place were success is not based on birth, but rather on life. We are all blessed with the same opportunity for advancement and, individually, we are responsible for our life's progression.
On Tuesday, Mia Love came to the podium to tell the country how her "parents immigrated to the U.S. with ten dollars in their pocket, believing that the America they had heard about really did exist." Ted Cruz told the story of his father, "imprisoned and tortured in Cuba, beaten nearly to death. He fled to Texas in 1957, not speaking English, with $100 sewn into his underwear. He washed dishes making 50 cents an hour to pay his way through the University of Texas, and to start a small business in the oil and gas industry." Nikki Haley followed that with a story of her parents. Immigrants from India, they instilled this into their children, "my parents loved that when they came to America, if you worked hard, the only things that could stop you were the limits you placed on yourself." Her parents then went on to start "a business out of the living room of our home and, 30-plus years later, it was a multimillion dollar company."
On Wednesday, Condoleezza Rice gave her impassioned speech about American leadership and prosperity including this personal story about "a little girl grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham – the most segregated big city in America - her parents can't take her to a movie theater or a restaurant – but they make her believe that even though she can't have a hamburger at the Woolworth's lunch counter – she can be President of the United States and she becomes the Secretary of State." After Ms. Rice, Gov. Susana Martinez told America her story of "Growing up I never imagined a little girl from a border town could one day become a governor. But this is America. In America algo es possible." A second generation immigrant, her parents taught her "to never give up and to always believe that my future could be whatever I dreamt it to be. Success, they taught me is built on the foundation of courage, hard work and individual responsibility."
On the final night of the Convention, Marco Rubio, a son of Cuban immigrants addressed the nation. He began talking about his Grandfather's life in Cuba and how "the dreams he had when he was young became impossible to achieve" because of the Cuba government. Rubio went on to discuss the life of his parents. "My mother was one of seven girls who parents often went to bed hungry so their children wouldn't. My father lost his mother when he was nine. He had to leave school and to go to work, and he would work for the next 70 years of his life. They immigrated to America with little more than the hope of a better life. My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier, a hotel maid, a stock clerk at Kmart. They never made it big. They were never rich, and yet they were successful, because just a few decades removed from hopelessness, they made possible for us all the things that have been impossible for them."…"My dad used to tell us -- (SPEAKING IN SPANISH) -- in this country, you'll be able to accomplish all the things we never could."
These stories are a not just a part of the lives of immigrants, they are the lives of many United States citizens. I myself remember the sacrifices my parents made for my siblings and I. We were by no means rich. Living in a duplex owned by my grandfather on the near Southside of Milwaukee, our neighborhood was solidly blue collar. It was a far cry from upper class suburbs. Our community was plagued by a poor performing public school. To ensure that we recieved a quality education, they made the significant financial commiment to send us to a private high school (this is prior to the freedom the choice program offers). Not unlike Marco Rubio, my parents were successful because they instilled in me the knowledge that I was not locked into my station in life, that I was only held down by my own desire to succeed.
The stories that each of these speakers presented to the nation are contrary to the story being told by the Democrats. The Obama Campaign wants you to believe that the American story is one of class divisions, one of unequal opportunity based on your birth and one of aristocratic control of wealth to the detriment of the poor. In order to accomplish this, quoting Ted Cruz, "They're going to try to separate us into little groups, and try to scare everybody", in order to usher in a new era of class warfare. Not to be mistaken, the citizens of the United States have always had there individual struggles and there has from time to time been wealthy individuals with malicious intent; however, on the broad national scale, class designation has been absent from our history. When inequality reared its ugly head, our country made changes, we fought wars and amended our constitution to ensure that all men and women were given equal opportunity.
Mia Love warned us all that "President Obama's version of America is a divided one — pitting us against each other based on our income level, gender, and social status." This is evident with Obama's own campaign. Obama will fight for the middle class, as if they are unable to succeed without him. African Americans for Obama has it own page on the Obama website, segregating them out from the rest of the population. Julia is the story of US women being granted success through government intervention, rather then personal determination. In each case, you are identified for your birth rather than your life as an American. This designation takes us back to a time before the existence of this new world when equal opportunity didn't exist; instead, you were identified as the class you were born into. It is not the forward looking vision of a unifier. Class warfare looks behind us to a time of monarchs and peasants. Class designation in the US is not something we are born with, it is something that one must accept. In believing the premise that our country is divided into classes you relinquish your freedoms to an overreaching government.
While many excellent ideas came out of the GOP Convention, the strong desire for every American to prosper was the central theme. Not through some half baked ideal of government dependence, but through your own blood and sweat. Recently in a blog thread a commenter said that home ownership was the best way to ensure the success of a neighborhood because people took responsibility for what was theirs. The same can be said for success. When you create your own success through the work of your own mind and hands, the rewards extend far beyond the hope and change a political official can give you.
Let me part with the conclusion of Mia Love's speech at the convention, as she says it better then I.
"The American Dream is our story. It is a story of human struggle, standing up and striving for more. It's been told for over 200 years with small steps and giant leaps; from a woman on a bus to a man with a dream; and the bravery of the greatest generation, to the entrepreneurs of today.
This is our story. This is the America we know because we built it."

Pir Zubair Shah in Foreign Policy:
"We don't even sit together to chat anymore," the Taliban fighter told me, his voice hoarse as he combed his beard with his fingers. We were talking in a safe house in Peshawar as the fighter and one of his comrades sketched a picture of life on the run in the borderlands of Waziristan. The deadly American drones buzzing overhead, the two men said, had changed everything for al Qaeda and its local allies.
The whitewashed two-story villa bristled with activity. Down the hall from my Taliban sources sat an aggrieved tribal elder and his son in one room and two officers from Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Directorate in another. I had gathered them all there to make sense of what had become the signature incident of the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan: an American drone strike, one of the first ordered on the watch of the new U.S. president, Barack Obama. The early 2009 strike had killed a local elder, along with his son, two nephews, and a guest in the South Waziristan town of Wana. Several sources had told me the family was innocent, with no connections to the Taliban or al Qaeda. But traveling to Waziristan had become too dangerous even for me, a reporter who had grown up there. So instead I had brought Waziristan to Peshawar, renting rooms for my sources in the guesthouse. I had just one night to try to figure out what had happened.
I spent the night running from room to room, assembling the story in pieces. On the first floor sat the dead elder's brother and nephew, who told me what little they knew of the incident. On the second floor, the ISI officers, over whiskey and lamb tikka, described their work helping U.S. intelligence agents sort out targets from among the images relayed back from the drones. Then there were the two Taliban fighters, whom I had first met in Waziristan in 2007. One had been a fixer for the Haqqani network, skilled at smuggling men and materiel from Pakistan into Afghanistan. The other drew a government salary as an employee of Pakistan's agriculture department but worked across the border as an explosives expert; he had lost a finger fighting the allied forces in Afghanistan. None of the men in the house knew the others were there.
The two fighters described how the militants were adapting to this new kind of warfare. The Taliban and al Qaeda had stopped using electronic devices, they told me. They would no longer gather in huge numbers, even in mosques to pray, and spent their nights outside for safety, a life that was wearing thin. "We can't sleep in the jungle the whole of our lives," one told me. Gradually, a picture of a rare incident came into focus: a deadly strike that had mistakenly taken out a man with no connection to al Qaeda or the Taliban. More:

Not everyone walked away unscathed at the Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff on Sunday night in Hollywood. Jerry Springer didn't find the humor in a joke by Jeffrey Ross about Springer's parents and the Holocaust. And in the show's best moments, Whitney Cummings gave a tongue lashing about financial setbacks and sexual activity to Pamela Anderson, who found it none too funny. After the show, Cummings started out by saying Anderson may have been offended then backtracked to say she didn't think she was. Then, Cummings admitted she may have been projecting some of her own guilt of the jokes on herself. Roast master Seth MacFarlane described the evening as "adequate" (he was kidding!). Roaster Greg Giraldo says the roasts sometimes gets the best of its targets, although all of the jokes are done in jest. "Toward the end, there seemed to be a little tension from Pam," he said. "We thought because she had done a roast in the past that she was ready for a real pounding. But she was getting it a little too much near the end, and she was getting a little tense."
During a commercial break, Cummings reached out to Anderson and told her she was sorry if she was hurt. Anderson shook her head in acknowledgment of the apology. However, Anderson also walked the stage and looked to someone in the crowd and asked how much longer the roast was going to go on. She later got a warm hug from Hasselhoff, who enjoyed the roast. "As long as they don't say anything about my mom, who died recently, or my kids, I'm OK," he said. "If they do, I'm coming after them."
Lisa Lampanelli, as always, had some classic lines ("Hasselhoff's liver is so black and bloated it could have starred in 'Precious' ").
The Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff airs at 10 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 15.

Bottled Water: What's the Difference?Bottled Water: What's the Difference?How to choose among the hundreds of varietiesMany people go for bottled over tap water because they prefer its taste and clarity
Cruising down the beverage aisle, you'll find a wide variety of bottled water brands in varying shapes and sizes. Some neatly fit into your car's cup holder. Others have pull-up tops that won't get lost on the soccer field. The latest wave to hit the shelves is "enhanced" water, which can include flavors, vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes.
What's the difference between types of bottled water?
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established a "Standard of Identity" to define different types of bottled water, based on the products' specific characteristics:
- Spring water-This comes from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth, and must be collected only at the spring or through a borehole that taps the source.
- Purified drinking water-This has been processed to remove chlorine and a majority of dissolved solids such as magnesium.
- Naturally sparkling water-This is naturally carbonated from a spring or artesian well.
- Artesian water or artesian well water-It comes from a well that taps a confined aquifer (a water-bearing underground layer of rock or sand).
- Mineral water-Typically spring water, it contains no less than 250 parts per million of total dissolved solids like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, silica, and bicarbonates. No minerals can be added to this product.
Which tastes better?
Many people go for bottled over tap water because they prefer its taste and clarity. Tap water contains chlorine to kill bacteria and other micro-organisms, which can make it taste like "pool water." Many bottled water manufacturers use ozone (supercharged oxygen) or ultraviolet light to disinfect the water. Unlike chlorine, neither of these alters the taste.
Is bottled water safer?
Experts can't agree on whether bottled water is safer than tap, but both must meet government safety standards. Tap water is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and bottled water is regulated by the FDA as a food product. In fact, bottled water must meet the same strict standards set by the EPA for public drinking water systems. What's more, the FDA requires that bottled water be packaged in a sanitary environment in safety-sealed containers.
What about flavored water?
These fruity beverages might taste good, but technically they're not bottled water. The FDA emphasizes that water with certain ingredients or additives may be classified as a soft drink or dietary supplement. For example, soda water, seltzer, and tonic are not bottled water. The same goes for carbonated water beverages like "enhanced water," which can contain more than 80 calories per serving.Deborah Kotz is a freelance health writer who happily drinks tap water but carries bottled water to her kids' afterschool sports.

Comments about AQUAhydrate™ - 1 Liter:
Though I have been drinking AQUAhydrate for over 9 months, as an outdoor runner I've waited until now to review the product after testing it during a hot and humid DC summer. I am truly amazed by the difference it has made in my performance and especially recovery. Sure, almost any water will quench immediate thirst, but drinking AQUAhydrate before, during and after runs and workouts has given me increased energy and stamina and I have been able to up my number of weekly runs. That it tastes far superior to other waters is just the icing on the cake --- it tastes so good that my filtered water just sits unused! For me it provides great value to cost ratio.

Light and refreshing. It is now difficult to drink other bottled water. PH helps keep body at an alkaline level. I buy it by the case and many times the local stores do not have a case. I have to order on line.

Comments about AQUAhydrate™ - 1 Liter:
I use it when I wake up in the morning. I drink a whole bottle. It really wakes me up better than a cup of coffee !!! It also helps if my stomach is feeling a little acidy... it helps to settle it. I doubted the " PH9 " claim so I had it tested. IT IS PH 9 !!!
