Ministers intervene, promise solution to water woes
Bommai's visit comes after condition of
three farmers deteriorates
The farmers are now recovering
Hiriyur (Chitradurga district): With the assurance of Minister for Water Resources (Major and Medium Irrigation) Basavaraj Bommai that the Government will work out a plan to provide water to Hiriyur taluk, the 540-day relay fast by farmers here ended on Wednesday.
The Minister visited the taluk following reports of the deteriorating condition of three farmers. They were brought to the district hospital in Chitradurga on Tuesday after their condition became serious. They are said to be recovering.
Temporary measure
Mr. Bommai, who came along with Revenue Minister and district in-charge G. Karunakar Reddy, promised the farmers that, as a temporary arrangement, the taluk would be given water from the proposed Upper Bhadra Irrigation Project, scheduled to be completed within four years. He said the foundation for this Rs. 3,000-crore project would be laid in the first week of January.
Towards creating a permanent source of water for irrigation in the taluk, the Minister said the Government had two options before it.
The Yagachi Irrigation Project would be studied to find out if water could be provided to the taluk through it. "We can also think of making the Vani Vilas Sagar dam in Chitradurga district the reservoir under the Upper Bhadra Project," he added.
According to the present Upper Bhadra Project, the plan was to build a dam at Ajjampur village in Chikmagalur district, the Minister said, but added that now the Government was contemplating on making the source the Vani Vilas Sagar dam.
Mr. Bommai said the State Finance Advisory Committee would be asked to find out whether these plans were feasible.
He promised to come out with a solution to the drinking water problem in the taluk within three months.

Am I robbing my daughter?

I kept my daughter at 26 inches for over a year playing at national level when I knew 27 would help her compete but also potentially hinder technique.
As for polys - I think while using such a light racket like the PDL, you might stay away from them because with lighter rackets, more shock is sent into the wrist/arm/shoulder and the poly will just add to that. That said, there are some 'softer'/stretchier polys out there now if you were dying to try it you could do a blend.
The flip side is - it is important to also keeping in mind that lighter doesn't always mean better for technique/arms/wrist/shoulder, etc. We've found that groundie and volley technique is more solid with heavier rackets...the lighter rackets can be harder to maintain control/discipline even though you might be able to swing them faster. And also, heavier rackets,
with good technique
can significantly reduce shock to wrist/arm/shoulder ...but ONLY with good technique. If technique is bad, it's the opposite so don't rush or consider until technique is very good. But if her technique is already great (i.e. she's rarely late, has a great contact point and extension...i.e. letting the racket to the work) then I'd experiment w some weight.
I think our progression was (strung wt):
Age 10: 26, maybe 10oz;
Age 11: 26, approx 11oz;
Age 12: 27, 10.3oz;
Age 13: 27, 11.2oz;
Age 14: 27, 12.2oz;
That's BirdieLane and everyone. Your feedback has been very helpful. I forgot we had one regular BPD so she hit yesterday going back and forth from the BPD to BPD-Lite and I noticed a slightly heavier ball and more plow through with the BPD and so I'm going ot modify one of her BPD-Lite's to that of the BPD which is pretty subtle. Weight would increase from 10.3 oz. to 11.1 oz.; 3pts. HL to 4pts. HL; and Swing weight increase from 298 to 308. I'll have our swinging expert make the adjustment and I'm told this is simply placing .8 oz. lead tape around the throat (12.1 from the bottom). The racquets are pretty similar but the BPD will give her a bit more power without making a drastic change.
She is 12 and 1/2 so that falls in line with your progression BirdieLane. I like this conservative approach and I agree 100% to stay on the conservative side. She is strong enough to handle the weight increase and the swing weight increase is subtle.

Sounds like Taylor Swift is getting a taste of her own medicine!
After writing several revenge songs slamming her exes, the 22-year-old country singer is reportedly the subject of one their new songs. John Mayer released his brand-new single, Paper Doll, on Tuesday, which listeners believe was written about his brief romance with Swift – and RadarOnline.com has the details.
"Here's a dress of gold and blue. Sure was fun being good to you," sings Mayer, mentioning dresses several times throughout the duration of the song.
Taylor referred to herself as "the girl in the dress [who] cried all the way home" in the song Dear John, she wrote about Mayer.
PHOTOS: Katy Perry And John Mayer Get Cozy At Rolling Stones Concert
"Someone's gonna paint you another sky," is another lyric, strikingly similar to Swift's, "You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain," Dear John lyric.
And it seems more than a coincidence that Mayer mentions the number 22, Swift's hit song from Red – in the same sentence he seems to cross reference Dear John once again.
"You're like 22 girls in one/and none of them know what they're running from," he sings, seemingly bringing up Swift's mention how in the future she would look back "and regret how I ignored when they said 'Run as fast as you can.'"

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Viceroy Bali
Jln. Lanyahan, Br Nagi, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
No relation, apparently, to any other Viceroy, in Los Angeles or anywhere else — the Viceroy Bali is a one-off, a family-owned hotel, a rarity at the high end of the resort market. The location is increasingly familiar, as more travelers discover the charms of inland Bali — the Viceroy is minutes from Ubud, high on a hillside overlooking the lush (and steep) Lembah Valley.
Familiar is good, when it's well done. The style is pure contemporary-luxe Bali, clean lines and sleek surfaces with traditional furnishings and technological touches like 42" LCD televisions and DVD players. Perhaps more remarkable is the fact that each one comes with a private pool, some with infinity edges looking out into space above the valley. Garden villas have indoor-outdoor bathrooms surrounded by lush foliage, while terrace villas come with pavilions overhanging the valley edge, like outdoor living rooms, with a view.
There's a small boardroom and conference center, if you're unlucky enough to need it; there is a helipad, after all, so presumably some guests are high-powered enough to make use of it. You're better off in the Lembah spa though, which is impressively modern and efficient (they're Swiss). It's a bit closer to the place's spirit of idyllic island escape, frankly.
How to get there:
Transfers are available from the airport for $50 USD by car or $1,842 USD by helicopter. From the airport to Viceroy Bali takes 12 minutes by helicopter and 60 minutes by car. Contact email@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

What I liked:
The setting of the hotel is spectacular, lodged on the side of deep v-shaped jungle valley. We stayed in a garden villa, which was great: huge bedroom area with small private plunge pool and huge outdoor (but covered) bathroom and lounge areas. The food was also fantastic for such a small place and the service was perfect. The larger, and more expensive, villas have larger pools and outdoor areas, so people staying there tended to stay in their villa while on the resort so we basically had the beautiful resort infinity pool to ourselves. I've been lucky enough to stay in many great hotels, but this is one of the best and will be tough to beat.
What the hotel could do better:
The spa was great but we booked a 60 minute massage and they upsold us to a 90 minute spa when we arrived. Afterwards they said we had to pay the difference in cash, which was clearly a scam for the masseuses to pocket the money.

Description: Linus explains what Christmas is all about.Luke2: 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field , keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo , the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid . 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold , I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes , lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying , 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Bruce Lee never smoked hashish. He chewed it.
Bruce Lee's Last Meal New York 2007 - Kool Bloo
117 Sixth Ave.
New York, NY 10013
Martial-arts enthusiast and actor Bruce Lee (a/k/a Jun Fan) died way too young from a swollen brain. Others say it was from smoking hash and being allergic to it. Anyway, he made Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential figures of the 20th century, even though he died at 32. To honor this icon, we'd feed him a dragon burger at Kool Bloo: an eight-ounce patty topped with cheddar and jalapeños and spritzed with hot sauce. Enter the Dragon! Now, what are we going to order for his equally deceased son Brandon Lee?

Sheriff 'saddened' by charges against son
December 31, 2008
Wyandotte County Sheriff Leroy Green Jr. says he's "deeply saddened and disheartened" by charges brought against his 35-year-old son.
"The judicial process will have to proceed like in any other case," the sheriff said in a statement sent by e-mail Tuesday to media outlets in the region. "I have disqualified myself from any involvement with the case, including any custodial issues.
Leroy Green III, Kansas City, Kan., is charged with nine counts of rape and six counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
He is accused of engaging in lewd fondling or sexual intercourse with his victims, all of whom were under the age of 14.
The charges allege that the acts began in 2001 and continued until August. Green III was taken into custody Monday.
Bond for Green III has been set at $1 million.

Capt. John Cota could lose his license for good once an investigation into the accident has been completed, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. The Nov. 7 crash ripped two of the Cosco Busan's fuel tanks open, spilling 58,000 gallons of bunker fuel into the bay.
Cota is a veteran pilot with 26 years of experience in the bay. But he has had past problems, including a reprimand last year when a ship ran aground in the San Joaquin River.
The state pilot commission approved the suspension 6-0. Commission President Knute Michael Miller cautioned that it "should not be viewed as prejudgment of pilot error."
Cota's lawyer, John Meadows, said the ship's captain gave the pilot erroneous information and the radar was not working properly.
Thousands of birds have died from the effects of the spill, which fouled the bay and coastal waters for miles to the north and south of the Golden Gate.

British EuroRAP 2014 Results: How Safe Are You On Britain's Roads?
The majority of British road deaths are concentrated on just 10% of the British road network, motorways and 'A' roads outside major urban areas. This report measures and maps the differing risk of death and serious injury road users face across this network, sometimes 20 times or more different.
The report tracks which roads have improved, and those with persistent and unacceptable high risks. It highlights roads where authorities have taken effective action. On 15 stretches of roads, low cost action has reduced serious crashes by 80% worth a staggering £0.4bn to the economy.
The report shows major differences not only between individual roads but between whole regions. The risks road users face overall on the major roads of the East Midlands are a startling two thirds higher than neighbouring West Midlands - greater than between many European countries.
Risk on the roads depends on the way we drive, the vehicles we drive and the roads we drive on. But, with similar vehicles and drivers, it is the in-built safety of the roads in the West Midlands that explains its better performance - more travel is done on safer roads. The motorways and single carriageways of the West Midlands have the greatest in-built safety of any region.
It is often neither difficult nor expensive to raise infrastructure safety. It brings high returns to the economy. It requires systematic measurement of risk. The in-built safety of the infrastructure of roads, like cars, is now measured worldwide.
We should not be driving 5-star cars on major roads which have only a 1- and 2-star safety rating.
Like other leading nations, Britain must set an explicit minimum 3-star rating for infrastructure safety for major roads. Nowhere is this more urgent than on the nation's Strategic Roads where the government is legislating to pass safety responsibilities to a new Corporation.

Rafael Nadal's return to action after a seven-month injury layoff will be the focus of attention in tennis in Chile this week.
Nadal has been careful to play down expectations. Yes, he still has some pain from his troublesome knees and no, he does not expect to immediately rediscover his old winning ways in his first tournament back at Vina del Mar in Chile.
"Of …I am here to try and give my best and hope that my knee comes through it," he added. "Undoubtedly the clay surface is a little less aggressive on my knee," he said. "My aim is to compete courageously and hopefully the knee will stand up to it…"
Rebuild confidence
Vina del Mar is an essentially low-key tournament, but Nadal is looking to progressively rebuild his confidence in claycourt tournaments in Brazil and Mexico before heading up to the United States for the Masters Series events in Indian Wells and Miami on the less unforgiving (for his knees) hardcourt classics. After that beckon Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome and on to Paris. Few of his peers seem to doubt his ability to get back to the top level and everyone agrees that his return will be good for the sport of tennis. "Can't wait to see him back playing again...As far as I am concerned he will still be as difficult to beat as ever. " said Federer.
"Needs time to return to his best"
Murray said that while Nadal may take his time in returning to form after such a long absence, he believes the Spaniard will again become a dominant force in the sport. "Expectation are high… But it could take a number of weeks and months before he's back to his old self again. " said World No.3 Murray.Agencies

Decision Tips
Admissions Tip: Waitlist Correspondence
In addition to actively evaluating the applications of Round Two applicants at this time of year, many top programs revisit their Round One waitlists and consider the strength of those individuals with respect to the new information about the pool. While schools vary in their receptivity to correspondence from applicants, those programs that do welcome additional materials offer a great chance for waitlisted candidates to reaffirm their interest in the school and keep themselves fresh in the mind of the adcom.
With the second-round notification dates for a number schools coming up in a matter of weeks, we wanted to offer some tips to students who have been waitlisted at such correspondence-friendly programs while there's still some time to tip the balance in their favor.
It's clear that you should take advantage of this chance to add to your file, so the first real step is determining what you want—and need—to communicate in your waitlist correspondence. We suggest that you begin by revisiting your application with a critical eye. Being waitlisted is ultimately a positive sign of the strength of your candidacy, so it's likely you've put together a very solid set of materials; you do, however, want to consider what you might have done to make your application even better. For instance, if your comments in your essays focused primarily on your work experience, you might want to convey some information about your outside interests and activities in your waitlist letter. Continue reading…
Admissions Tip: The Waitlist
What should an applicant do when placed on the waitlist at his or her dream school? While most applicants regard the waitlist in a negative light (we've even heard it described as "a sort of purgatory prior to getting dinged"), the best approach is to view the glass as being half-full (especially for R1 waitlisters). In all cases, getting waitlisted is much better than getting denied.
Here are a few tips to help you navigate this often difficult and mysterious process:
1) Know your file. Before you can develop a waitlist strategy, you need to understand where you may have fallen short in the application process. Read over your file with a critical eye and try to identify any weaknesses. Talk to anyone you know who might be able to give you feedback (MBA students at the target school, former admissions officers, admissions consultants, etc). Continue reading…
Admissions Tip: Choosing Between Business Schools
With the majority of schools having released their Round One decisions, many successful applicants will soon be facing the enviable – but often agonizing – decision of choosing between programs. Though we know that those of you in this position will already be juggling an overwhelming amount of information about the schools on your short lists, we wanted to offer a few pointers to consider as you identify and evaluate the most important facts and factors in making the choice between b-schools.
1) Immerse yourself. If you have not yet visited campus, go to the school and see what you think of the environment. Be sure to attend classes, talk with students, tour the facilities, and so on. Even if you have already made the trip, it's a good idea to attend the school's events for admitted students to meet your potential classmates. After all, these are the folks whose thoughts you will be hearing in class for two years and who will making up your future network. Continue reading…
Admissions Tip: Navigating the Waitlist
While the past few weeks have seen a number of admits and rejections handed down to round one MBA applicants, the fate of many remains uncertain. There is no reason for waitlisted candidates to lose hope, as the top programs admit a fair number of individuals from the waitlist in round two and thereafter, but we know that cautious optimism does not make the wait for an answer any easier. To help those in this situation make sure that they're doing all they can, we wanted to share a few waitlist tips:
1. Know—and follow—the rules. Schools vary in their stances when it comes to interaction with those on the waitlist; some shun communication from applicants and even go so far as to discourage on-the-record campus visits, whereas others welcome correspondence and assign waitlisted candidates to an admissions office liaison. We know that the natural impulse is to reach out to the adcom and update them on that recent promotion or the final grade from that accounting class you took to bolster your academic profile. At first blush, it might seem that there's no harm in sending a short letter or making a call, but no matter how exciting the information you wish to communicate, ignoring the adcom's instructions is ultimately going to reflect badly on you. Though such a policy may seem frustrating or unfair, it's important to respect and abide by the preferences of each school. Continue reading…
Admissions Tip: Feedback Session Etiquette
At the beginning of April, we discussed the importance of signing up for a feedback session when one is planning to reapply to a program that provides this opportunity. Today we'd like to follow up on that post by offering a few thoughts on feedback session etiquette.
While on one hand a feedback session marks the close of this year's process, it's crucial that you realize that the impression you make on the adcom member conducting the session may be added to your file and come to bear on your candidacy next year. Taking heed of the following advice could help to make your feedback session as productive as possible – both in terms of gaining information about your weaknesses that you can address now and fostering a positive relationship with the school that will pay off in the future.
Be pleasant. Though the admissions process is a highly emotional one and to have invested time, effort and money in an application without having an acceptance to show for it is undoubtedly very frustrating, receiving the adcom's comments in an appreciative – not defensive – manner is of the utmost importance. While it might be tempting to argue with the adcom's criticisms of your file or counter their comments about your weaknesses with steps you've taken to address them, this is simply not going to be productive. You should view this as an exercise in listening and an opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to the school. No one ever converted a rejection to an admit by merely arguing their case in a feedback session. Continue reading…
Admissions Tip: Round 3 Results
With the MBA programs releasing their Round 3 notifications in the upcoming weeks, the 2013-2014 admissions season is coming to a close for the vast majority of MBA aspirants. We'd like to offer our congratulations to all those who have gained admission to one of more of their target schools and wish good luck to waitlisted applicants whose fate is presently a bit less certain. For all those who submitted their applications in the final round and received an unfavorable decision, we'd like to share a few tips that we hope will make the process of facing rejection as productive as possible:
1) Understand the odds and consider reapplying in the early rounds next year. If you failed to gain admission to a school in its final application round, you should not give up hope or instantly assume that your profile contains some glaring weakness that will forever bar you from acceptance. Because relatively few spots in the incoming class are available by the time of the Round 3 deadlines, it is always most difficult to get into a school at this point in the year. In many cases, an earlier application is all that you need to find success in the process.
Admissions Tip: Feedback Sessions for Denied Applicants
As many of our readers know, a small number of leading MBA programs offer admissions feedback sessions to applicants who did not make the admissions cut in a given season. Though we've touched upon this subject before, we'd like to use today's blog entry to underline the importance of these feedback sessions for those of you who are considering reapplication.
While not all schools offer feedback, a handful of schools issue an open invitation to all unsuccessful applicants. Additionally, some programs occasionally offer feedback "by invitation" to top candidates for whom they just didn't have room that year. In all cases, if you are given the opportunity to get feedback, you should absolutely take advantage of it. There are several reasons for this:
1) Signal commitment to improvement. Signing up for a feedback session demonstrates that you are motivated to learn more about your application's weaknesses and are seeking to improve going forward (with the intention of reapplication). Most schools make note of these sessions and keep these notes in your file in the event that you do reapply.
2) Get the inside line. A feedback session gives you a chance to learn something about your candidacy from the source. Feedback sessions can draw your attention to a perceived weakness you were unaware of or confirm your own thoughts with regards to areas for improvement.
3) Advertise your interest. In addition to demonstrating your passion to improve and your intent to learn more about your candidacy, signing up for a session suggests a dedication to the MBA program in question. Since not all reapplicants bother to get feedback, the fact that you take this aspect of the process seriously can work in your favor.
4) Make a connection. In many cases, a feedback session can be the beginning of a relationship that is forged with a member of the adcom. If the person gives you feedback, you should email them a "thank you" letter and take advantage of the opportunity to develop an advocate for your candidacy on the committee.
Stay tuned to this blog for some tips on proper feedback session etiquette in the near future. In the meantime, be sure to sign up for feedback sessions if your target school offers them. If your target school does not offer this kind of service, you may want to take advantage of Clear Admit's feedback service, which includes a strategic review of your prior application(s) and a written report highlighting your strengths and weaknesses as well as specific guidance for reapplication.

Admissions Tip: Waitlists That Discourage Supplemental Information
We have previously posted some correspondence tips for those applicants who have been waitlisted by schools that welcome supplemental materials and communication. Today, we'd like to provide some advice to those who are in an arguably more difficult position: waitlisted by schools that discourage further contact with the adcom.
This may sound obvious, but if a school indicates that they do not want supplemental materials, then you should respect their guidelines. In other words, do not send along a new recommendation or an essay if the program has clearly indicated that you should not do so. There may be exceptions to this—for example, if a dramatic change has taken place in your candidacy—but in most cases, you should simply follow the rules.
While at first it seems as though this leaves little option for waitlisted applicants other than sitting and waiting for a more definitive decision, one of the best things an individual in this position can do is just the opposite—take action and visit the school. This makes particularly good sense for those who have never been to the campus of their target programs. Very many things can happen when spending time at the school:
1) You may interact with students or professors who can better inform you of opportunities at the school and give you a better sense of the campus culture. If you make a particularly strong impression, you might even inspire someone to intercede with the adcom on your behalf.
Admissions Tip: Dealing with a Ding
With many MBA programs beginning to release their R2 decisions, the spring notification season will soon be coming to a close. While we would like to hope that today's topic isn't apropos for too many of our readers, we wanted to offer some advice to applicants who've been rejected from their preferred programs and are planning on reapplying next season. While it's important to take some time to deal with the disappointment, it's never too early to begin thinking about the next season, and there are a number of steps you can take to improve your candidacy and move toward a stronger application.
1) Reevaluate. While it's certainly difficult when things don't go as planned, this is actually a great chance to take stock of your career and goals and to make sure that an MBA is still a logical and necessary step at this point. It's this sort of reflection that can lead to refined career goals and a clearer sense of the reasons you need a business education.
2) Revisit your applications. Once you've gained some distance from the emotional and time-consuming application process, it's wise to review the materials you submitted to the schools with a critical eye. Having learned much about the process simply by applying, it's likely that you'll be able to identify a number of things that you could have done better. Whether you suspect your downfall was something like a strategic misstep in an essay or interview or a more glaring weakness like a low GMAT or lack of extracurricular involvement, there is plenty of time to address your shortcomings before submitting an application next year.
Admissions Tip: Thinking About Financing
Though many business school applicants know exactly what they want to do—and how much they hope to make—after they graduate from an MBA program, a surprising number apply to school without thinking about how they'll pay for this expensive degree. While some students do foot the entire bill themselves or receive scholarship support from the school or an outside institution, the vast majority of MBA students borrow funds to cover their tuition and living expenses. With this in mind, we wanted to cover some very basic information on loans for the benefit of both recent admits entering school this fall and early birds just beginning to think about their applications for Fall 2014.
The primary source of funding for U.S.-based applicants will be federal loans or alternative education loans. The main federal loans, available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, are the Direct Unsubsidized Loans, the Direct PLUS Loan and the Federal Perkins Loan. Full-time students, usually those enrolled in two or more courses per semester, can borrow as much as $20,500/year through the Direct Unsubsidized Loan program. The Direct PLUS Loan can be used to pay for the total cost of attendance less any aid you've already been awarded. Meanwhile, the Federal Perkins Loan program is school-based program for students with exceptional financial needs. Perkins Loans are low-interest, a rate of 5 percent, with a maximum annual loan amount of $8,000/year for graduate students or $60,000 in total. Those interested in applying for federal student aid should check out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). When federal loans are not enough, private loans can help bridge the gap in education costs. Students might contact their local bank or look into lender programs, such as SallieMae or Access Group, for details on borrowing eligibility.
Admissions Tip: Waitlist Correspondence
In addition to actively evaluating the applications of Round Two applicants at this time of year, many top programs revisit their Round One waitlists and consider the strength of those individuals with respect to the new information about the pool. While schools vary in their receptivity to correspondence from applicants, those programs that do welcome additional materials offer a great chance for waitlisted candidates to reaffirm their interest in the school and keep themselves fresh in the mind of the adcom.
With the second-round notification dates for a number schools coming up in a matter of weeks, we wanted to offer some tips to students who have been waitlisted at such programs while there's still some time to tip the balance in their favor.
It's clear that you should take advantage of this chance to add to your file, so the first real step is determining what you want—and need—to communicate in your waitlist correspondence. We suggest that you begin by revisiting your application with a critical eye. Being waitlisted is ultimately a positive sign of the strength of your candidacy, so it's likely you've put together a very solid set of materials; you do, however, want to consider what you might have done to make your application even better.

Winter Spare the Air Season Begins Sunday, November 1
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ — In an effort to protect public health, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District will open the Winter Spare the Air season on Sunday, November 1, and begin enforcing a regulation that restricts wood burning in the Bay Area through February 28, 2010.
Wood smoke is the largest source of wintertime air pollution in the Bay Area. Certain weather conditions in the wintertime cause the air to remain still. When these conditions occur, the Bay Area Air District calls a Winter Spare the Air Alert.
"This winter, Bay Area residents must check before they burn," said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Bay Area Air District. "It is illegal to burn wood or firelogs when a Winter Spare the Air Alert is in effect. Wood smoke pollution is associated with a number of serious health risks and is particularly harmful to children, the elderly and those with respiratory problems."
This winter is the second winter season the Wood Burning Rule is in effect. The rule passed in July 2008.
Between November 1, 2009, and February 28, 2010, the Air District will declare a Winter Spare the Air Alert when air pollution is forecast to reach unhealthy levels. During a Winter Spare the Air Alert, the use of wood-burning devices, including fireplaces, pellet stoves, wood stoves and outdoor fire pits, is forbidden. There are expected to be, on average, approximately 15-20 Winter Spare the Air Alerts during the season.
This season, Winter Spare the Air Alerts will be declared the day prior to the alert going into effect. Each day by 2 p.m., the Air District will issue an air quality forecast. If air quality is forecast to be unhealthy, a Winter Spare the Air Alert will be called for the next day. The Alert will be in place for 24 hours – one calendar day – active from midnight-to-midnight.
Those who burn during a Winter Spare the Air Alert will receive a warning for the first violation and a second violation is subject to a $400 ticket. The ticket amount will increase with any subsequent violations, depending on the severity of the infraction. Residents and businesses that burn wood as their only source of heat are exempt from the regulation.
Bay Area residents can check before they burn by:
- Visiting www.baaqmd.gov or www.sparetheair.org
- Calling 1-877-4-NO-BURN
- Signing up for e-mail Air Alerts at www.sparetheair.org or phone alerts by calling 800-430-1515.
Under the new rule, only EPA-certified wood stoves or fireplace inserts, pellet stoves, or natural gas devices can be sold or installed in new construction or remodels. The new rule also places year-round prohibitions on excessive smoke, and on the burning of garbage and other harmful materials in fireplaces and woodstoves.
Wood smoke is a major source of wintertime air pollution in the Bay Area and contains harmful pollutants such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide, as well as toxins such as dioxin, which is linked to increased cancer rates in adults. In the winter, wood smoke from the 1.4 million fireplaces and wood stoves in the Bay Area contributes about one-third of the harmful particulate pollution in the air.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (www.baaqmd.gov) is the regional agency chartered with protecting air quality in the Bay Area.

Did you catch the Victoria's Secret Swims Special that aired last Thursday? If you did, you missed out! Unlike some people, I was very, VERY irritated and disappointed with the 5-episode Sports Illustrated swimsuit special in that the entire focus of those episodes were mainly on the boring-ass technical aspects and NOT on the models themselves. If you make me tune in for five nights, you better give me some good shit and the SI special was absolute DOGSHIT.
Lo and behold, Victoria's Secret roared back and bit it's thumb at Sports Illustrated by filming their own swimsuit special that did everything RIGHT that Sports Illustrated got WRONG! A few of the things that VS did correctly was that they allowed their Angels to be the center of attention. Let the models do the talking! Secondly, VS focused LESS on the technical aspects like bad weather and time constraints and more on letting the models be sexy and funny (unlike the SI special where the producers spent 30 minutes per episode complaining about the bad weather). And thirdly, VS let the models interact with each other! They dance together, do yoga, and play Volleyball (unlike in the SI special where nearly all the models had zero interactions).
My only complaint with the Victoria's Secret special was that too much of the show was based on heavily scripted, though quite sexy moments rather than spontaneous moments (like when Russell James terrorizes Jac Jagaciak with a live crab). Other than that, I could watch the VS special on repeat 5 times and not get bored rather than watch all five episodes of the Sports Illustrated special. BURN IN HELL, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED.
Anyways, I took about 100+ uncompressed HD screencaps from the special, so click and enjoy!

Monroe, CT (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
Monroe periodontist Dr. Richard Amato now treats patients who have gum disease with the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP). Gum surgery is often the first step in helping patients in Trumbull, Shelton and Monroe area qualify for dental implants. Using LANAP, Dr. Amato eradicates the diseased gum tissue and prepares the mouth for dental implants, which provides a secure method of tooth replacement.
Gum disease is a common problem and many people have lost teeth because of advanced periodontal disease. However, with laser gum surgery even those patients in Fairfield and New Haven County with advanced gum disease can become good candidates for dental implants. Monroe periodontist Dr. Amato provides his patients with the most advanced technology to eradicate their gum disease. LANAP is over 95 percent effective in cleaning diseased gum tissue, and it can actually help regenerate bone growth and density. This allows Dr. Amato to securely place a dental implant into a patient's jawbone, which allows patients with missing teeth to enjoy a beautiful smile once again.
Dental implants also offer a long-term solution to missing teeth. Unlike a denture or a bridge that can often need replacement, an implant can last for 20 years or more. The actual implant is made to last a lifetime; however, the crown may need replacement at some point. Made from titanium alloy, dental implants actually fuse with the bone after being surgically inserted, which means bone loss is very rare. Tooth decay or root canal treatment

Giants lose game, defensive end
Jets 10, Giants 7
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants hope they didn't lose more than just a preseason game to the New York Jets.
Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora was carted off the field with a knee injury in the second quarter of the Giants' 10-7 loss Saturday night. The injury overshadowed a first-half quarterback duel between Brett Favre and Eli Manning that ended up being a penalty-filled snoozer.
The Giants (1-2) said Umenyiora's left knee "locked up" with 10:48 left in the half on an incomplete pass by Favre on third down. He couldn't put any weight on the leg. X-rays were negative, but further examinations were planned today.
Umenyiora had a team-high 13 sacks in earning his second Pro Bowl appearance while leading the Giants' pass-rush happy defense in New York's run to the Super Bowl.
Brett Ratliff threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Paul Raymond with 6:08 remaining to put the Jets (2-1) ahead. Drew Coleman's interception of Andre' Woodson with 1:06 left sealed the victory.
Favre, in his second start since being acquired from Green Bay, finished 9-of-12 for 96 yards and had a pretty touchdown pass negated by a penalty. Manning was 10-of-17 for 113 yards, but had a scoring drive late in the second half short-circuited when he took a big sack on third down.

Panthers 47, Redskins 3 at Charlotte, N.C.: Jason Taylor limped off the field with a worrisome knee injury and the Redskins unraveled against the Panthers' 1-2 punch of DeAngelo Williams (Memphis) and Jonathan Stewart.
The tailbacks combined to rush for 201 yards and two touchdowns, Williams had 101 yards and a TD.
Taylor, the six-time Pro Bowl pick and "Dancing With the Stars" celebrity, was injured when his right knee bent awkwardly as he got caught in the middle of the pile.
Saints 13, Bengals 0 at Cincinnati: New Orleans sacked Bengal quarterback Carson Palmer three times in the first half, knocking him out of the game with a bloody nose and a cut lip.
Palmer left the game when Kevin Kaesviharn got to him on a safety blitz just before halftime.
Saints cornerback Mike McKenzie (Memphis) made his first appearance since he tore a knee ligament last December.
Lions 26, Browns 6 at Detroit: Brady Quinn was lackluster in his first NFL start and depleted Cleveland was roughed up for the second time in a week, falling to Detroit.
Quinn was 14-of-24 for 106 yards without a score, turnover or a pass longer than 16 yards.
Dolphins 24, Chiefs 0 at Miami: Ted Ginn Jr. had a 59-yard punt return for a TD and caught three passes to lead Miami over Kansas City.
Jaguars 23, Buccaneers 17 at Tampa, Fla.: Jeff Garcia was intercepted twice, but threw a second-quarter TD pass before departing the Buccaneers' loss to Jacksonville.

It signed me up to it for no reason and now it has tried to charge me every month and it's not even on my phone anymore. I deleted it and when I tried to go back and cancel what it had done it kept saying it wasn't compatible with my device. It was compatible when it wanted to take my money.
