Reduce Electric Bills
By Caleb Chapman, Kerrville Daily Times, Texas
Jul. 3–A hot June set a record for Kerrville energy use and that means high electric bills.
Bill Taylor, president of Kerrville Public Utility Board, urges customers to do what they can to cut back on consumption.
"Weather is a big contributing factor to how much the energy bills are going to be," Taylor said. "June was one of the hottest on record, and if customers can conserve and cut back on energy use, it will help everyone."
Here are some ideas.
Residential energy audits
Through the Texaswi$e program, KPUB offers free residential energy audits. During the audit a KPUB representative will inspect and make recommendations for improving the home's energy efficiency.
The audits include inspections of air conditioning, insulation, ventilation, appliances, etc. KPUB staff does not make repairs but makes an evaluation of where improvements are necessary.
Appliances and electronics
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, appliances and electronics are responsible for about 20 percent of energy bills in a typical home. But there are ways to achieve real savings by considering a few things.
–The Department of Energy reports that 75 percent of the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off because of "phantom" loads. This can be avoided by unplugging the appliance or using a power strip and using the switch on the power strip to cut all power to the appliance.
–Screen savers do not reduce energy use in computer monitors. Automatic switching to sleep mode or manually turning the monitor off always is the best energy-saving strategy.
–Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.
–Look for the Energy Star label when buying home appliances, electronics or other products. Energy Star products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.
–Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.
–Consider air-drying clothes on lines or drying racks.
Heating and cooling
Heating and cooling account for about 56 percent of the energy use in a typical U.S. home, according to the Department of Energy. Some simple ways to cut heating and cooling costs include:
–Clean or replace filters about once a month.
–Use fans during the summer to create a wind-chill effect that will make your home more comfortable. By using a ceiling fan, the thermostat setting can be raised by about 4 degrees with little or no reduction in comfort.
–Install a programmable thermostat that can adjust the temperature according to when people will be in or out of the house.
–Insulate the hot water heater and hot water pipes to prevent heat loss.
–Insulate uncooled or unheated areas of the home, such as attics and crawlspaces, to prevent the loss of cool or hot air.
–When installing windows, select windows with air leakage ratings of 0.3 cubic feet per minute or less.
–The Department of Energy suggests applying sun-control or other reflective films on south-facing windows to reduce solar gain and installing awnings on south- and west-facing windows.
Light can affect many things, such as health, safety and comfort and, of course, how well someone can see. There are ways, however, to reduce energy while maintaining good light quantity and quality.
–Consider using high-intensity discharge (also called HID) or low-pressure sodium lights.
–Use outdoor lights with a photocell unit, motion sensor or both to reduce the amount of time the light remains on.
–Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, loose-weave curtains on windows to allow daylight to penetrate the room while preserving privacy. Also, decorate with lighter colors that can reflect daylight.
–Three-way lamps can make it easier to keep lighting levels low when brighter light is not necessary.
–Use task lighting. Instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where it is needed.
–Turn off lights in any room not in use, or consider installing timers, photo cells or occupancy sensors to reduce the amount of time lights are on.
–Installing a skylight can provide the home with daylighting and warmth. When properly selected and installed, an energy-efficient skylight can help minimize heating, cooling and lighting costs, according to the Department of Energy.
Well-designed landscaping can add beauty and reduce energy costs. On average, landscaping for energy efficiency provides enough energy savings to return an initial investment in less than eight years, according to the Department of Energy.
–Plant trees to shade the home and reduce cooling costs in the summer months.
–Planting shrubs, bushes and vines next to the house creates dead air spaces that insulate the home in both winter and summer. Plant so there will be at least one foot of space between full-grown plants and the home's wall.

Comments about ASHLEY FRINGE HEM DRESS:
This dress did not arrive as pictured. I ordered size small, but a XXL could have fit in this dress. The model is obviously not wearing anything bigger than a small and we are about the same size. This dress looks nothing like it does in the picture which makes me think the dress was altered or clamped tighter for catalog pictures. buyer beware....immediately sent back, so disappointing.

DG Property Alerts! (Michigan Edition)
Potential Private Disc Golf Course Properties for Sale (SE Michigan Edition)
Looking to build a house and your own private disc golf course on some nice acreage? Here are a few select properties I have had my eye on. Over the years I have seen some incredible deals for great properties around me get snatched up so quickly I cannot believe it, so Im just passing some info along on land currently for sale to whoever might be interested.
20+ acres of good quality land for DG
Under $200,000
Close to nearby city/civilization
Below are a few large parcels in SE Michigan that might be worth a look if youre looking to build a home, hunting camp or private disc golf course. Im not a real estate agent but have seen just too many nice properties get away. Ill try to only post nice affordable properties under 200k (or less than $5,000 acre) but will show anything above that price that might be of interest to possible investors.
This experiment is intended to get our disc golf friends into looking for land to help get disc golf courses into areas that don't have a course nearby. I'll try to keep it fun and updated as much as possible. Feel free to explore, discuss and post anything around you that might fit the criteria. I can try to answer any questions on the postings but just remember I'm not a real estate agent and might not have an answer to all questions. This is just the info I could find online and I cannot guarantee it to be 100% accurate. If your are interested in the land, you will have to look into it yourself for further details.
Lets have some fun

A recently introduced bill in the House of Representatives seeks to update legislation for "orphan" diseases and drugs. "Orphan" status denotes disorders that are extremely rare—generally afflicting 6,000 or fewer patients.
Pharmaceutical companies have no financial incentive to develop drugs and treatments for them because there aren't enough users to pay the costs and sustain the consumer market. In order to encourage the development of drugs and other treatments for orphan diseases, the government provides incentives it doesn't grant to more common disorders, such as easier and faster FDA approval, and extended periods for developing companies to market the drugs exclusively.

"This was a very valuable exercise," Chestertown Fire Chief Jack Crossman said. "Everyone worked well together today."
About 14 firefighters of the Chestertown Volunteer Fire Co. worked side-by-side in the drill with 11 of their counterparts of the Horicon Volunteer Fire Department.
North Warren Emergency Squad Captain Jason Paul said the re-enactment was useful.
"This was a realistic drill, and good practice for us to work with the firefighters," he said.
Freshman Johna Howland watched the action.
"This really gives people the impact of the dangers of drunk driving," she said, noting the school's prom is this Saturday.
She was dressed in black, like 10 other of her fellow high school students. They had written stories, retelling potential consequences of drinking in a personal, detailed way. Conveying these narratives, in an assembly to all students grades 7 through 12, were Johna, Maria Rambone, Selena Stalmer, Phil Davidson, Patty Smith, Jen Gapp, Kimiya Hart, Meghan Erickson, Laura Tennyson, Julia Bolton, and Leslie Bruce. Dennis Kruithoff portrayed the Grim Reaper, assisted by Cassie Maday. Their presentations were followed by documentaries of families torn apart by drunken-driving tragedies.
"Victims" of the North Warren accident were Chelsea Crossman, Cody Griffen, Jasmine Morehouse, Katelyn Morehouse, and Craig Smith, who was the "arrested" drunken driver.
Sheriff's Patrol Officer Robert Gould finished a mock arrest of Smith, grim-faced and soaked with bogus blood.
"For sure, I hope this is a reality check for the students," he said.
Horicon Assistant Chief seconded the point.
"I hope it has a great impact on everybody," he said. "Almost all of us have experienced an incident like this."

Literary career
It was in March 1693 that he achieved sudden fame with the production at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, of The Old Bachelour, written, he said, in 1690 to amuse himself during convalescence. Warmly heralded by Dryden, who declared that he had never read so brilliant a first play, though it needed to be given "the fashionable Cutt of the Town," it was an enormous success, running for the then unprecedented length of a fortnight. His next play, The Double-Dealer, played in November or December at Drury Lane but did not meet with the same applause (it later became the more critically admired work, however). Its published form contained a panegyrical introduction by Dryden. Love for Love almost repeated the success of his first play. Performed in April 1695, it was the first production staged for the new theatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields, which was opened after protracted crises in the old Theatre Royal, complicated by quarrels among the actors. Congreve became one of the managers of the new theatre, promising to provide a new play every year.
In 1695 he began to write his more public occasional verse, such as his pastoral on the death of Queen Mary II and his "Pindarique Ode, Humbly Offer'd to the King on his taking Namure"; and John Dennis, then a young, unsoured critic, collecting his Letters upon Several Occasions (published 1696), extracted from Congreve his "Letter Concerning Humour in Comedy." By this time, Congreve's position among men of letters was so well established that he was considered worthy of one of those sinecure posts by which men of power in government rewarded literary merit: he was made one of the five commissioners for licensing hackney coaches, though at a reduced salary of £100 per annum.
Though Congreve signally failed to carry out his promise of writing a play a year for the Lincoln's Inn theatre, he showed his good intentions by letting them stage The Mourning Bride. Although it is now his least regarded drama, this tragedy, produced early in 1697, swelled his reputation enormously and became his most popular play. No further dramatic work appeared until March 1700, when Congreve's masterpiece, The Way of the World, was produced—with a brilliant cast—at Lincoln's Inn Fields; though it is now his only frequently revived piece, it was a failure with the audience. This was Congreve's last attempt to write a play, though he did not entirely desert the theatre. He wrote librettos for two operas, and in 1704 he collaborated in translating Molière's Monsieur de Pourceaugnac for Lincoln's Inn Fields. In 1705 he associated himself for a short time with the playwright and architect Sir John Vanbrugh in the Queen's theatre, or Italian Opera house, writing an epilogue to its first production. It is likely that Congreve's retreat from the stage was partly a result of a campaign against the supposed immorality of contemporary comedies. This attack was led most notably by Jeremy Collier, author of the tract A Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage (1698), which specifically censured Congreve and Dryden, among others. In reply, Congreve wrote Amendments of Mr. Collier's False and Imperfect Citations (1698).
The rest of his life he passed quietly enough, being in easy circumstances thanks to his private income, the royalties on his plays, and his not very exacting posts in the civil service. In 1705 he was made a commissioner for wines, a post that he retained by virtue of Swift's good offices at the change of government in 1710 but which he relinquished in 1714 when he joined the customs service; his position was improved at the end of 1714 with the addition of the secretaryship of the island of Jamaica. He wrote a considerable number of poems, some of the light social variety, some soundly scholarly translations from Homer, Juvenal, Ovid, and Horace, and some Pindaric odes. The volume containing these odes also comprised his timely "
Discourse on the Pindarique Ode" (1706), which brought some order to a form that had become wildly unrestrained since the days of the poet Abraham Cowley. Congreve's friendships were numerous, warm, and constant, as much with insignificant people, such as his early companions in Ireland, as with the literary figures of his time. No quarrels are attributed to him, except for a very brief one with Jacob Tonson, a publisher. Swift, whose friendship with him had begun in early days in Ireland, was unvarying in his affection; for John Gay, poet and author of The Beggar's Opera, he was the "unreproachful man"; Alexander Pope dedicated his Iliad to him; and Sir Richard Steele his edition of Joseph Addison's The Drummer. As to his relations with the other sex, his affection for Mrs. Anne Bracegirdle—who acted most of his female leads—is well known; they were always close friends, but whether the intimacy was of a deeper nature is undetermined. In his later years he was devotedly attached to the second duchess of Marlborough, and it is almost certain that he was the father of her second daughter, Lady Mary Godolphin, later duchess of Leeds. This would account for the large legacy, of almost all his fortune, which he left to the duchess of Marlborough. He died after a carriage accident.

Well everything went well except for the package itself, what I mean by that is that it was conditional, the box was slightly damaged and creased, but as for the product itself it was in mint condition. I would say that I hope the next time everything would at least be in tip top shape.

- A bill demanding details of sequestration is waiting for President Barack Obama's signature.The Senate has given final approval to a bill forcing the White House to explain how sequestration would fall on agencies. The bill demands details that the administration has been reluctant to provide. It requires those details within 30 days of becoming law. The Office of Management and Budget said it was hard to determine which federal programs would bear the brunt of the automatic cuts next year. OMB said it is waiting for Congress to pass the fiscal year 2013 budget.(GovTrack.us)
- Intelligence officials would have to forget about lucrative media contracts post retirement if a bill moving through the Senate becomes law. The Senate Intelligence Committee is sending a bill to stem national security leaks to the full chamber for a vote. The legislation would restrict the number of employees in the intelligence community authorized to talk with reporters. And it would stop both current and former intelligence officials from working as media commentators or experts. The White House would have to tell Congress whenever it authorized disclosures of certain intelligence information. (Federal News Radio)
- The House voted overwhelmingly yesterday to give itself greater power over the Federal Reserve. The bill would require the Government Accountability Office to conduct audits of the Fed's Board of Governors and its 12 regional banks. The Dodd Frank Act of 2008 already requires audits of some Fed activities. But the new bill would go further into the Fed's monetary policy decision making and its agreements with foreign central banks. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke opposes the measures. The bill was sponsored by longtime Fed opponent, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). (Federal News Radio)
- Agencies are hiring more people with disabilities but risk falling short of a goal set by President Barack Obama. This week marks the two-year anniversary of the president's executive order directing agencies to hire about 20,000 more people with disabilities a year over five years. Agencies did better last year than in 2010. About one in six new hires were people with disabilities. Still agencies would have to hire even more workers with disabilities in the next three years to meet the goal. Assistant Secretary of Labor Kathy Martinez said fear is one of the biggest hiring barriers. Managers do not know how a person with disabilities can perform a job even if they're qualified, she said. (Federal News Radio)
- Education Secretary Arne Duncan said sequestration could force him to furlough employees at the Education Department. Speaking Wednesday at a Senate appropriations subcommittee, Duncan did not say exactly how many employees would have to be furloughed. Duncan also said sequestration would hamper the Education Department's ability to detect waste, fraud and abuse. Lawmakers have already spoken with defense officials about the effects of sequestration. But this is the first time Congress spoke with a civilian agency leader.(Federal News Radio)
- Although Lockheed Martin warned about sequestration-related layoffs on Capitol Hill last week, this week the company is singing a different tune. The Bethesda-based defense contractor reported a big jump in profits in the second quarter. And Washington Business Journal reports Lockheed has boosted its 2012 outlook overall. Revenue in the second quarter rose to $11.9 billion, up from $11.5 billion last year. Three out of four of its divisions saw an increase in sales with the most coming from Lockheed's Space Systems division. (Washington Business Journal)

If compressed natural gas-powered vehicles are the way of the future, someone's got to be able to fix them.
The only problem — at least in Tracey Hind's mind — is that not many auto technicians actually know how.
The vehicles — which burn cleaner and are cheaper to drive than those that use traditional fuel — are equipped with, among other things, high-pressure fuel systems, unlike a gas-powered model. Making a mistake with fuel at high pressure can be dangerous.
"There are a lot of similarities" with traditional vehicles, Hind said. "They've got the same engine. But if you don't know how a high-pressure fueling system works, that's bad."
Hind is an automotive technology instructor at Western Wyoming Community College. He is trying to make sure technicians around the state never have that problem. The college started offering an alternative fuel vehicle technology certificate program in August.
The program is the result of years of planning and research by Hind, who said he's trying to keep Western Wyoming on the "cutting edge" of vehicle technology.
"I've always been interested in alternative fuels," he said. "NGVs make so much sense."
The certificate program is a 39-credit track that includes lessons in high-pressure systems, retrofitting natural gas technology and regular maintenance of the vehicles. The program also includes lessons about hybrid and light-duty diesel fuel systems.
Hind created classes and requirements with the help of industry partners like Encana Oil and Gas and Questar and an advisory board composed of industry representatives. He said involving industry will be key to keeping the program current, especially as compressed natural gas — or CNG — technology evolves.
"We're looking to keep this program on track and useful to everyone involved," he said.
The program may be hitting Wyoming at just the right time. The state Legislature committed funds last year to convert part of the state's vehicle fleet to natural gas. Earlier this month, the Minerals, Business and Economic Development Committee approved two CNG bills — one creating a loan program for new infrastructure, the other mandating state agencies and school districts buy at least half their future vehicles equipped with CNG technology.
The Wyoming Natural Gas Vehicle and Infrastructure Coalition is also working to extend the technology's reach in the state. There are now five public CNG fueling stations around Wyoming, with one more planned and 16 desired.
Hind said he has seven students in the first alternative fuel class this semester. If natural gas gets more popular, the students certified to work with the vehicles could have an advantage.
"They're more marketable," he said. "The more skills they have, the easier it is to walk into shops and say, 'I know this, give me a job.'"
Hind's also offering work force development training for established mechanics, which he said has generated a lot of interest. He expects to offer his first extra class in February, with several more to follow.
"There's a lot of really great technicians out there who'd like to or are required to work with this technology," he said. "And the technology's only going to get better. That's the way it always works."

This weekend, Belgacom successfully performed an operation in the light of its continuous action plan to protect the security of its customers and their data and to assure the continuity of its services.
Previous security checks by Belgacom experts reveiled traces of a digital intrusion in the company's internal IT system. Belgacom has taken all appropriate actions to protect the integrity of its IT system and to further reinforce the prevention against possible incidents.
For Belgacom, the protection of the customers and their data is a key priority. At this stage there is no indication of any impact on the customers or their data. At no point in time has the delivery of our telecommunication services been compromised.
Belgacom strongly condemns the intrusion of which it has become a victim. The company has filed a complaint against an unknown third party and is granting its full support to the investigation that is being performed by the Federal Prosecutor.
During a thorough investigation of traces of a digital intrusion, we discovered an unknown virus in a number of units in our internal IT-system. In order to eliminate this virus effectively, we decided to clean up the entire system.
Indeed, the operation was well prepared and has been executed effectively. We obviously remain vigilant towards the future, and continue to give our full support to the investigation by the Federal Prosecutor.
No, thus far we have no indication of any impact on our customers or their data. The virus has only been detected in the internal computer system of Belgacom, not in its telecom network.
No, at no point in time has the delivery of our telecommunication services been compromised. Neither has the clean-up caused any disturbance to our customers. All their telecom applications and services have continued to function normally.
No, they have only been asked to change their password, and then their workstation is automatically scanned by the system. The virus was detected in a few tens of cases, and each time successfully eliminated.
No, we cannot comment on this, it is up to the Federal Prosecutor's investigation to bring clarity on this.

Agents visit Conn. gun shops after school massacre
Authorities said Adam Lanza had no criminal history, and it was not clear whether he had a job. Lanza was believed to have suffered from a personality disorder, said a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Another law enforcement official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said Lanza had been diagnosed with Asperger's, a mild form of autism often characterized by social awkwardness.
People with the disorder are often highly intelligent. While they can become frustrated more easily, there is no evidence of a link between Asperger's and violent behavior, experts say.
The law enforcement officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the unfolding investigation.
Richard Novia, the school district's head of security until 2008, who also served as adviser for the school technology club, of which Lanza was a member, said he clearly "had some disabilities."
"If that boy would've burned himself, he would not have known it or felt it physically," Novia said in a phone interview. "It was my job to pay close attention to that."
Amid the confusion and sorrow, stories of heroism emerged, including an account of Hochsprung, 47, and the school psychologist, Mary Sherlach, 56, rushing toward Lanza in an attempt to stop him. Both died.
There was also 27-year-old teacher Victoria Soto, whose name has been invoked as a portrait of selflessness. Investigators told relatives she was killed while shielding her first-graders from danger. She reportedly hid some students in a bathroom or closet, ensuring they were safe, a cousin, Jim Wiltsie, told ABC News.
"She put those children first. That's all she ever talked about," a friend, Andrea Crowell, told The Associated Press. "She wanted to do her best for them, to teach them something new every day."
There was also 6-year-old Emilie Parker, whose grieving father, Robbie, talked to reporters not long after police released the names of the victims but expressed no animosity, offering sympathy for Lanza's family.
"I can't imagine how hard this experience must be for you," he said.
Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Jim Fitzgerald, Bridget Murphy, Pat Eaton-Robb and Michael Melia in Newtown; Denise Lavoie in Danbury, Conn.; Adam Geller in Southbury, Conn.; Stephen Singer in Hartford, Conn.; and Pete Yost in Washington.

From the Publisher"This new interpretation of monasticism's influence and the deep roots of intolerance is strongly recommended for academic and seminary libraries."—Library Journal, January 2003
"Anyone who wishes to understand how monasticism took shape in Western Europe and how it was, exactly, that monks and monasteries fit into the whole of medieval society will find here a superb introduction to the subject that is not only anchored in an impressive array of primary sources but also in constant conversation with other historians through footnotes as dense as the forests of medieval Europe. Though this is a book aimed at scholars, nonspecialists should not fear getting lost. . . . 'Order and Exclusion' is indispensable reading, especially for anyone trying to understand the deep roots of the religiously inspired fanaticisms that still bedevil us in the 21st century."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, August 10, 2003
"There is much food for thought in this book, which is marked by broad learning and a close reading of the texts."—Giles Constable, Institute for Advanced Study, American Historical Review, April 2004
"Dominique Iogna-Prat's Order and Exclusion: Cluny and Christendom Face Heresy, Judaism, and Islam is such a welcome and needed contribution to the field. . . . Iogna-Prat's approach will be helpful for those seeking to understand relations between majority and minority relations in places and times far distant from twelfth-century France, and this lucid translation will bring his work to the wider audience it deserves."—Lucy K. Pick, University of Chicago, The Journal of Religion
"Dr. Iogna-Prat's book, Ordonner et exclure (1998), which here appears in a very satisfactory English translation, has two themes. One is the evolution from a loosely-structured medieval society to one dominated by an order that was strictly conceived and repressive to dissent. The other, which the author sees as closely connected with the first, is the spirituality and thinking of the order of Cluny. . . . The strength of this study lies in its understanding of Clunaic thought, and to that it makes a real and important contribution."—Colin Morris, The Catholic Historical Review, April 2004
"This is an interesting and well-written book, which I very much enjoyed. The argument is certainly convincing. Scores of people were marginalized in the central Middle Ages as western Europeans began to order their world. Various religious, social, economic, cultural, and political changes came together to make for a more cohesive society and one of the terrible and paradoxical results of this new cohesion was exclusion. . . . The greater goal of this book is to foster tolerance in the present; it asks Catholics and non-Catholics to reflect on and come to terms with troubling aspects of the religion's long history. . . . Works such as these could serve as catalysts for change."—Dawn Marie Hayes, H-Catholic, H-Net Reviews, July 2004
"Order and Exclusion is a powerful, important, and disturbing book. Dominique Iogna-Prat marshals his intimate knowledge of Cluniac sources and his perfect command of German, French, and Anglo-American scholarship to produce a micro-historical analysis of a crucial moment and a pivotal institution in the process of turning western Christianity into a culture of repression. The most unsettling aspect of this book is its convincing demonstration that the very aspiration to universalism at the heart of Cluniac ideology, in the hands of Peter the Venerable, its greatest intellectual, created not only a theology but an anthropology focused on sexual abstinence and religious sacrifice. Peter the Venerable's work exalted celibate clerics and excluded heretics, Jews, and Muslims, not only from the community of the faithful but also from humanity itself."—Patrick J. Geary, University of California Los Angeles
"After its reordering in the eleventh century Latin Europe demanded religious conformity more insistently, and excluded those who failed to satisfy it more ruthlessly, at every social level, than any other world civilization. From the perspective of one of medieval Christendom's most central institutions, Cluny, and through the eyes of one of its most compelling and commanding figures, Peter the Venerable, Order and Exclusion provides the most intimate account we have yet had of how and why this came to be so. It is enthrallingly readable, and fundamental in every sense."—R. I. Moore, University of Newcastle upon Tyne
"Just think of what effects identification with Rome had on Christianity and you'll be ready to confront this challenging study by Iogna-Prat, for something comparable happened to Cluniac monasticism as its pretensions became intertwined with those of the world-embracing Gregorian papacy. No wonder the vita apostolica sought refuge elsewhere."—Lester K. Little, American Academy in Rome and Smith College
"Dominique Iogna-Prat's Order and Exclusion is a wonderful book, and a very important book both for its insight on twelfth-century treatment of the 'Other,' and for its presentation of life at Cluny in that era. . . Beautifully translated and produced, this book will change the way that we think about the twelfth century and the origins of the intolerance of our own age."—Constance H. Berman, University of Iowa

Children find it difficult to concentrate
SALEM: Rampant use of loudspeakers in the city has severely affected people, particularly students preparing for the SSLC, matriculation and other examinations.
The district administration has banned the use of loudspeakers in the vicinity of examination centres.
But political parties and organisers of various festivals are using the devices near schools, even when examinations are in progress, and other places blatantly violating rules and causing disturbance.
One can spot loudspeakers blaring at the busy road junctions, roadsides and residential colonies particularly in Kondalampatti, Pallapatti and Swarnapuri areas.
The devices are used in these areas irrespective of time or day.
"The devices cause noise pollution, which has taken its toll on the students.
The children are finding it difficult to concentrate," many people complained.
The district administration should ban the use of the devices in all the parts of the city till all the examinations are over, residents felt.
The police personnel in the city are yet to take any concrete action to control the menace.

Of course we were anticipating what Miley Cyrus would do for her performance as part of the annual 'New Year's Rockin' Eve.' Since her name occupied many a 2013 headline, it was only right for the singer to close out the year with a performance in the Big Apple. Perhaps most shocking was how tame her performance was.
Just when you didn't think Kanye West could shock any further, he went and did something truly surprising: He promised to shut up.
Bruno Mars is stoked for his Super Bowl 2014 performance -- but he's also incredibly, admittedly nervous. When you keep in mind that it's the Super Bowl, it's understandable, but when you remember that it's Bruno Mars and that he always puts on a fantastic show without the need for shock value, well, you begin to wonder why he's so scared.

Palace orders LGUs: Comply with nat'l mining laws
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
BAGUIO CITY—Malacañang has asked local governments to make sure their ordinances do not clash with national laws on mining and the new mining policy enacted by President Benigno Aquino's Executive Order No. 79.
Last week, Cordillera towns and provinces, where the oldest Philippine mines started operations, were given copies of a Nov. 8 circular from Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II which directs all governors and mayors "to take appropriate measures for the amendment of provisions of existing and relevant ordinances and guidelines" to conform with how the national government defines a "valid ordinance."
Memorandum Circular No. 2012-181 cited jurisprudence from a 1994 case and a 2001 case, which states that valid ordinances must "not contravene the Constitution or any statute," must not be oppressive or discriminatory, and must be "consistent with public policy."
These citations also led the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to conclude that the local government's power to legislate is a "delegated power coming from Congress," the circular said.
Because town governments are agents of the national government, they "cannot be superior to the principal or exercise powers higher than those of [the national government]," it said.
"The principle of local autonomy under the 1987 Constitution simply means 'decentralization.' It does not make local governments sovereign within the state," Roxas said.
In July, various local governments protested Section 12 of EO 79, which asserted that all local laws must be consistent with national laws, particularly with regard to mining.
The policy may suppress local governments that have barred mining in their communities through ordinances, they said.
John Castañeda, Cordillera director of the DILG, said Roxas' instructions have been transmitted to Cordillera leaders.
He said the agency had no record of any Cordillera town with ordinances and resolutions "that run contrary to national mining laws."
The pioneer mines in the country began in Benguet, beginning with Benguet Corp. which has asked for permission to mine its old tailings dam using modern technology that extracts gold from mine wastes.
Philex Mining Corp. and the Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co. continue to operate their old mines in the towns of Itogon and Mankayan, respectively. Large-scale mining applications also cover Kalinga.
But Beverly Longid, president of the party-list group, Katribu, said town officials had pushed for the passage of resolutions against large-scale mining operations, particularly in the Mt. Province towns of Tadian, Besao and Sagada.
Longid said she was unaware if a similar resolution passed the Mt. Province provincial board.
She said Katribu and other organizations opposed to commercial mining "will work with local governments in producing proindigenous peoples and pro-environment ordinances." Vincent Cabreza, Inquirer Northern Luzon

Weather to watch
Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves: A 40 percent chance of thunderstorms could spoil a good pitching matchup between Cole Hamels and Ben Sheets.
Who's hot?
The Cincinnati Reds are riding a seven-game winning streak heading into a three-game set with the Colorado Rockies. The Reds are 11-2 since the All-Star break and 6-0 in their last six contests as road favorites.
Who's not?
The Houston Astros have spent the entire season continuing to set new wonderful lows in Major League Baseball's department of suck. Losers of 23 of their last 25 games, the Astros are in the midst of the worst 25-game stretch in franchise history.
The Milwaukee Brewers have plummeted to a season-worst 10 games under .500 - 14 games behind NL Central-leading Cincinnati. General manager Doug Melvin has acknowledged the team is fielding trade offers for 2009 American League Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke.
Key Stat
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the New Orleans Hornets and Sacramento Kings have the toughest schedules for the upcoming 2012/13 NBA season. The Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls have the easiest routes based on opponent wins and losses from last season.
Game of the day
Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees (-172, 10.5)
Injury not to be overlooked
Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia will miss approximately six weeks because of a fractured right hand. Arencibia is the 10th Blue Jay currently on the disabled list and was batting .242 with 16 homers and 50 RBIs prior to the injury. Toronto is still missing slugger Jose Bautista, who is recovering from a wrist injury.
Notable Quotable
"Of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere."- British Prime Minister David Cameron, responding to comments by U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney that were critical of the host country's preparation for the Olympic Games. Romney was in charge of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Notes and tips
The Pirates have hit at least one home run in their past 16 road games and have 35 during that stretch. Astros starter Jordan Lyles has allowed at least one homer in his last five starts. Pittsburgh is a -156 road favorite in Houston. The total is set at 8.5 runs.
The Texas Rangers have won 20 of their last 27 home games against teams with winning records and are 44-19 in their last 63 home games overall. Texas is a -137 home favorite versus the Chicago White Sox Friday.
The Tampa Bay Rays reportedly intend to bring back third baseman Evan Longoria (hamstring) as soon as next week to serve as the designated hitter. He suffered a partial tear in his right hamstring after sliding into second base in a game against the Seattle Mariners on April 30.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt said Thursday a bad back has been causing him hamstring problems, leading to a pair of losses to training partner Yohan Blake at the Jamaican trials. "It was a slight problem. I got that fixed and I'm ready to go," Bolt said in his first formal media appearance of the London Games. Bolt has the honor of carrying his country's flag at the Opening Ceremonies.
Brewers skipper Ron Roenicke is adopting a closer by committee approach for the foreseeable future due to the struggles of Francisco Rodriguez and John Axford. "Unfortunately, it's come to that. I'd rather have a set bullpen. We're going to go with whatever we see in the game and who fits that slot," Roenicke said Thursday.

A "finely detailed and well-written" bio of Robert Redford.
Above, below, a few rare sexytime photos for Redford fans.
A book I'll actually buy? Yup, at my local indie bookseller. Why? Because RR is, along with Paul Newman, Clooney, Pitt, that rare breed of celeb who devotes more than a little, more than the minimu, to supporting a better, kinder, greener world.
"Robert Redford: The Biography" by Michael Feeney Callan
Too seldom is the life of an actor of Robert Redford's stature given such a finely detailed and well-written exploration.
For film fans, the simple message of "Robert Redford: The Biography" may be that his talents have been underappreciated. Starring in popular movies like "The Sting" and "Out of Africa" and smaller films like "Downhill Racer" and "The Candidate" hasn't led to the artistic respect other actors enjoy. Nor has directing fine films like "Ordinary People," "A River Runs Through It" and "Quiz Show" ranked him among top directors.

One Response to "A "finely detailed and well-written" bio of Robert Redford."
[…] I found these men in real life (Willy Ryken, a founder of our Summer Camp and Buddhist troublemaker, and many other father figures my mother connected me with), in history (Winston Churchill, FDR), through fiction (F. Scott Fitzgerald, Huck Finn, Tintin), baseball (Dave Winfield, Lou Gehrig), Buddhism (Trungpa), through basketball (Magic), etc. And, through the movies, some were bad boys—like Errol Flynn or Toshiro Mifune—but they were still inspired by higher causes, by being of service, by dignity and nobility. Some models of gentlemanhood were quieter, more humble or modest but still charming and fun, like Paul Newman or Robert Redford. […]

Kareem Rizk: The Suitcase
I could fill my walls with the work of Australian collage artist Kareem Rizk from The Suitcase. I felt a connection to it immediately so sharing it with you right away felt oh so necessary.
It's exciting to find work like this, I see so much on a daily basis as a blogger that often one thing blends into the next and I can feel a little lost in the great sea of it all sometimes. Not because what I am exposed to isn't lovely, but in order to write about something it needs to reach me on some level, I need to somehow relate to it or understand it in a creative sense. This is all so hard to explain in words as it is very emotional and emotions are never easy to put into words. The point is that I filter a lot of work on a daily basis and in the end, I write about what truly grabs me. Like Kareem Rizk.
These collages made my day as they are composed of the exact colors that I'm into right now and the layered elements make me think of some of my most cherished activities like foreign travel, hitting flea markets, journaling, and relaxing by the sea. Most of the art that I purchase is mixed media art. There's a story in the layers, all of the found elements, paint, torn pieces of vintage papers, everything creates an emotion, a bigger picture. Something about the texture and imperfection, how random pieces connect to form a beautiful picture, it feels very alive and real.
Do these inspire you as well?
Psst: His website + portfolio can be found here.

I definitely get the same feeling from his work, Holly! It makes me excited to get to the collage project I have planned. I love the vintagey feel to his work.

I like that his work is not digital, but a hands on mix of acrylic, pastels, paper, and solvent transfers — gives it a more tactile quality. And his ability to convey an idea in the simplest terms is a credit to his graphic design background. Well done!
I agree with you that this type of art is my favorite, too.

Hello from Earth
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (February 2011)
HELLO FROM EARTH (HFE) is an Interstellar Radio Message (IRM). It was sent from the 70-meter dish at NASA Deep Space Station 43 (Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex), at midday on Friday 28 August 2009. The message was directed at the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 581, which has its own planetary system.
The total number of individual messages, which were sent by users to HFE web site, is about 25,880. The total size of the messages was 2,845,539 bytes.
The main defect of this IRM was insufficient scientific and technical justification, since no SETI scientist made any statement validating HFE's design. According to www.hellofromearth.net: "After the final message was collected on Monday 24 August 2009, messages were exported as a text file and sent to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, where they were encoded into binary, packaged and tested before transmission." However, nobody explained why they hoped that such "encoded and packaged" text will be understandable by probable extraterrestrials.

Sleep Apnea Health Center
Sleep Apnea Complications - Topic Overview
Sleep apnea can cause you to stop breathing during sleep. When you stop breathing, the oxygen levels in your blood go down and carbon dioxide levels go up. This makes your heart and blood vessels work harder and can affect your heart rate and nervous system. This can lead to complications over time, such as:
- Low blood oxygen levels during sleep. These low levels as well as other factors such as fragmented sleep may lead to high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and in the rest of the body (hypertension).1 Nearly 50% of people who have sleep apnea have high blood pressure.2
- Heart failure. Changes in the body caused by sleep apnea increase the risk of heart failure.3
- Irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation.4
- Coronary artery disease (CAD).
- A greater-than-normal number of red blood cells, which may cause the blood to thicken.
- Death caused by blood vessel disease that affects the brain or heart (stroke or heart attack).4
- Failure to resume breathing (respiratory failure) and sudden death, especially in the early morning (very rare).
Sleep apnea can cause some of these conditions to progress more quickly and be more difficult to treat. Treating sleep apnea may help make some of these conditions less severe.

NEW DELHI: A day after Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar raised the bogey of collective responsibility of the Cabinet, including the Prime Minister, for price rise, the Congress on Monday toned down its hitherto nuanced criticism of the Minister and said he was not apportioning blame but stating a constitutional position.
Fielding questions on the issue a day after Mr. Pawar made the remarks in response to questions on the veiled criticism from Congress quarters over his handling of the situation in the face of runaway prices, Congress spokesman Shakeel Ahmed refused to find fault with the Minister's bid to ward off the blame by putting it on all his ministerial colleagues and the Prime Minister."Mr. Pawar is not trying to blame anyone. He is stating the constitutional provision of collective responsibility of the Cabinet. The Congress also wants prices to be addressed collectively by the Centre and the States," Mr. Ahmed said.Asked whether the Congress held Mr. Pawar solely responsible for the rising prices, Mr. Ahmed remained non-committal.
To a query whether the party agreed with Mr. Pawar's contention that the United Progressive Alliance government was responsible for the spiralling prices, he said, "Why don't you talk about the responsibility of State governments who have to check black-marketing and hoarding?"Over the past few days, the Congress has been mounting pressure on Mr. Pawar in an attempt to distance the party from the criticism over unrelenting prices.
