Spider-man's new costume looks swell, and Emma Stone is charming. Those are the only two things about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 I didn't hate with the fiery anger of a thousand exploding suns. Every other performance, every last bit of dialogue and plot, every character beat, every joke, every garishly cartoonish action sequence can die a painful, prolonged death before languishing in the bowels of whatever hell is reserved for mindless, exploitive cash grabs masquerading as movies.
Screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are franchise serial killers, having parasitically attached themselves to Transformers and Star Trek, among others. That two living, breathing human beings can routinely produce content this noxious and vapid without remorse is almost impressive. Orci is a known conspiracist who believes 9/11 was "an inside job," so he obsessively inserts sinister secrecy into everything he writes. Here, that means starting a Spider-Man movie with a prolonged action sequence where Peter Parker's father (Campbell Scott) fights to ensure the truth about governmental bioweapons gets out.
We then skip to Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) fighting The Rhino, played by Paul Giamatti, whose Russian accent makes Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle seem nuanced. The fight makes Peter miss his gal Gwen (Emma Stone) giving a graduation speech about death, a completely appropriate thing to talk about at commencement. Gwen and Peter are onagain-off-again because Pete feels guilty after her dying father (Dennis Leary) told him to stay away from her in the last film. In case you forgot, the chubby ghost of Dennis Leary frequently pops up, telling Petey to "quit touchin' mah daughter!" with his dead eyes.
Enter Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), who is somehow Pete's "best bud" despite the pair not having talked since they were 12. Harry and his daddy have an unnamed familial disease that turns them into goblins. He needs Spider-Man's blood for a cure; to get it, he enlists the help of Electro ( Jamie Foxx), a newly superpowered bad guy. Then there's a violent CGI orgy that fumbles its way to a climax so unearned it's offensive.
It's hard to pick one worst moment, but here are some to consider: Gwen insists she join Spidey at the power plant because she "knows the schematics" and can turn the electricity back on, only to arrive and flip one giant, clearly labeled switch. Garfield's spazzy, twitching delivery turns Peter from "troubled youth" to "mentally unwell." Foxx's character makes Urkel from Family Matters look like a babe magnet; it's easily the most embarrassing thing he's ever done, and he once played a character named Bunz in the film Booty Call. DeHaan's hair, both before and after his goblin transformation, is a follicle hate crime. I have more...
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is a dire warning of where our current superhero movie binge could lead. Offensively dumb, clumsily performed, lazily conceived, it is a descendent of the 1990s Batman sequels. To borrow from Aliens, this franchise (and Orci and Kurtzman) should be nuked from orbit, just to be safe. But hey, at least the costume looked neat.
Respond: email@example.com
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I love your writing! "...only to arrive and flip one giant, clearly labeled switch" LOL!
You, assuming you have more than a functioning brain stem in your skull, are not the intended audience for this product (and I do mean PRODUCT). The comic-con dorks, er people who turn out for everything and anything Spiderman or Batman, no matter how "vapid," is the only audience the Hollywood money guys can count on to hand over the dough. Like the way commercials have been replaced by "branding," this is cinema by market research, made by people who have spent millions to figure out how to move product to 12 year olds (chronical 12-year-olds, or otherwise). This is modern film. In the studio days film was backed by money guys in New York just like now, but the studios were run by movie people who still wanted to make good films, even if they failed. Today? It's ALL about branding and product.
If you liked the amazing spider-man cartoons then this movie is for you. It has that feel brought to you in a cinematic form and the IMAX version was something definitely worth the watch.
I haven't seen the movie as of yet but your descriptive writing is awesome, "fiery anger of a thousand exploding suns"

Share this story email Share this story «Previous 5 of 25 Photos Next » Read the story « » Oregon Death Penalty Oregon Supreme Court Justices, including Chief Justice Thomas A. Balmer, left, Justice Martha Lee Walters, Justice Jack L. Landau and Justice Richard C. Baldwin listen to arguments by attorney Anna Joyce into whether Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber has the authority to prevent the execution of Gary Haugen during a hearing in Eugene on Thursday, March 14, 2013. Gov. John Kitzhaber, who opposes capital punishment, regretted letting two other inmates be put to death and said he won't allow it to happen again. Haugen argues that Kitzhaber exceeded his authority when he issued a temporary reprieve for the two-time murderer in 2011, delaying the execution until the governor leaves office.

MyTown, a location based check-in game from Booyah will now be made available in iTunes stores of countries like Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and so on. This is good news for a whole bunch of people, who had actually been waiting for this for quite some time now. It is not too much different from the location based check-ins from familiar elements such as Foursquare and Gowalla. Here, only a thick slather of game elements is added on top of the usual familiar material. The basic thing is altered just a little. Before, you had to go and check into a store to get your points. Here, it has almost been turned into the game of Monopoly, which allows you to 'own' the business that you decide to check into, and in its turn, charges rent from the other people who might be checking into that business. Another difference is that it puts out a list of the stores, according to specifications. The others, in this case tend to be friendlier towards the users with a huge variety of content.
A 'scavenger hunt' was also launched by Booyah today. What you have to do is check into locations, as many times as you require, and in your turn will be able to discover parts of a map, holding the clues to a 'key' that has been hidden somewhere in the city. Once you get to this key, you will be given a code, that you will need to mail to Booyah. This will enter you into a contest and you stand to win iTunes gift cards, and if you are really lucky, even an unlocked iPhone4. However, the contest is only for the American users and the new regions will just have to wait out their turn to get lucky.

What's a Whopper? Fast-food fans looking to switch to a healthier meal can now hit the Burger King drive thru for a turkey burger.
The Miami-based company is releasing the new sandwich this week as part of its limited-time offers for spring, marking the latest fast-food effort to cater to health-conscious diners. Last week, McDonald's said it plans to offer a lower-calorie version of its Egg McMuffin made with egg whites. The Oak Brook, Ill.-based chain said the egg whites will be available for any other breakfast sandwich on its menu as well.
McDonald's and Wendy's said they have no records indicating they ever offered a turkey burger, making Burger King the biggest fast-food chain to do so.

Calls for protections for utility customers, cost-containment and additional nuclear provisions
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 29, 2009) – Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe, in testimony today before the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, called for passage of a comprehensive climate and energy bill to address the greenhouse gas issue and put our nation on the path to a low-carbon future.
In his testimony, Rowe called for an economy-wide bill with realistic targets and timetables, an effective cost-containment mechanism, and a method for awarding allowances to electricity delivery companies to prevent dramatic consumer rate increases.
"We thank Senators Boxer and Kerry and this committee for moving forward with a serious response to climate change," said Rowe. "We are encouraged by the progress of this legislation, and we implore the members of this committee to redouble their efforts to pass a bill that slows, stops, and ultimately reduces greenhouse gas emissions while protecting the American economy."
Rowe also said that one of the most important aspects of cap-and-trade legislation is that it encourages pursuing the least expensive options for reducing carbon emissions first. While any method will cost money, the alternatives to cap-and-trade will cost more.
"Without prompt action, the utility industry will be caught in a carbon purgatory: we will lack the certainty we need to make the large-scale investments in clean generation that are necessary to both keep the lights on and meet the challenges associated with climate change," Rowe said. "We firmly believe that cap-and-trade legislation can accomplish our national environmental objectives while ensuring robust economic growth."
Rowe urged the committee to include measures to ensure that utility customers are protected from sharp rates increases and the economy will not be saddled with major new costs.
"To moderate price increases to consumers, Exelon supports the free allocation of 40 percent of emissions allowances to local delivery companies, which will sell the allowances and use the proceeds to mitigate costs for customers," said Rowe. "To be abundantly clear, neither Exelon nor its shareholders will profit from the allowances to local delivery companies."
Rowe also called for additional provisions to encourage development of low-carbon nuclear energy.
"New nuclear plants will both help us meet our future energy needs and also serve as an important source of green jobs," Rowe said. "For every 1,000 megawatts of capacity, nuclear power provides 550 operations jobs--more than coal, wind or natural gas."
Exelon is not waiting to address the growing danger of climate change. Last year, the company launched Exelon 2020, an environmental and business strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2020. In April 2009, Exelon announced that it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 35 percent from 2001 to 2008.
"We look forward to working with the Senate to enact comprehensive climate legislation in 2009 or early 2010," said Rowe. "Climate change truly is one of the greatest challenges facing our nation and the world in this new century, and nothing is more important for our nation's economic, energy and environmental future than dealing with it. Now is the time to get on with it."
Rowe is the electricity industry's longest-serving chief executive, with nearly 26 years as a utility CEO. Rowe was among the first CEOs in the industry to focus on climate change, first testifying before Congress on the potential effects of carbon emissions in 1992. He currently serves as co-chair of the bipartisan National Commission on Energy Policy, and previously chaired the Edison Electric Institute and the Nuclear Energy Institute.
Rowe's written testimony submitted to the committee is available on the Exelon Web site at: www.exeloncorp.com/aboutus/speakersbureau.

For years I have put up with the 2 decimal places that ArcGIS adds to the "currency" formatting, but most of the time I do not want them and end up removing them in my exported map images. I cannot see a way to edit the number of decimals - does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of these decimals?
You could use Brad's answer in conjunction with a label expression that adds the dollar sign (or other appropriate currency symbol).
VBScript example:
EDIT: There may be some business reason you need to have the field set to currency but I think I would manage it in a different way.
Since it say localized currency settings
you might try looking at the windows settings for your computer.

When you need a lot of ice, but don't have a lot of space to spare, opting to go the remote-cooled route may be the best choice. Remote condensers are an excellent alternative to having a large machine taking up space in your kitchen. When paired with ice machines inside, remote condensers outside can be an efficient way to keep continuous ice coming. Great for both smaller establishments and busy commercial kitchens, these bad boys are versatile enough to be used just about anywhere.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
When it comes to driving behind the wheel of an automobile, distractions can be everywhere. On the road with fellow drivers, looking closely at car accidents along the road, advertisements on billboards, fiddling with the controls on the radio and especially over the past decade, using a cell phone to make calls and send and receive text messages.
Carbon County is no different than any other area. Taking a drive through the city streets chances are some people will be sitting at a stoplight with a cell phone in one hand and their other hand placed on the steering wheel. In the bigger cities, with people dealing with rush hour traffic, it's not uncommon to see people doing everything from eating breakfast on the go, putting makeup on, texting and talking on the phone while driving.
Debbie Marvidikis, a health educator with the Southeastern Utah Health Department, said distracted driving has become a bigger issue over the past few years. With the rise in the amount of people with a cell phone and access to a car, it can become a lethal combination for some.
Over the past year, Carbon and Emery County residents have seen the effects of accidents on U.S. 6 and other roads in the county. Since the summer, the two counties have seen a number of accidents on the roads, some of which included multiple deaths.
"It's a tragedy to see this things happen," Marvidikis said. "People who drive distracted are putting others around them in danger and at the same time they are endangering themselves."
Marvidikis is concerned about the teen population and the effects distracted driving can have on them. With the impact cell phones have on people on a daily basis, through text messaging, using the internet and calling friends and family, it can be possible to forget the dangers that those actions pose while behind the wheel, Marvidikis said.
"Teens are at a bigger risk to drive distracted because they don't have a lot of experience driving," she explained. Studies from the National Highway Transportation Safety Agency (NHTSA) show that up to 25 percent of distracted drivers out on the roads today are teenagers.
Just as drivers, both young and old, might be quick to check to see if they have their wallet and cell phone while getting behind the wheel, they may skip other important moves including checking the mirrors in the car and putting on their seat belt. Many of these actions, Marvidikis said, could be done if people took a few moments to slow down instead of rushing things.
"Some people are in such so much of a hurry, they forget to take a moment to put their seat belt on," she said.
From the perspective of local law enforcement, the issue of distracted or careless driving is no different in Price than anywhere else.
"I don't think this is more of a problem here than anywhere else in the country," said Bill Barnes, a sergeant with the Price Police Department. Barnes said the department has seen a number of accidents where people have admitted to texting or talking on the phone before the accident occurred.
While distracted and careless driving, classified as when two or more violations occur within a short period of time, can be a problem for any law enforcement agency to deal with, Barnes said local officers are not just looking for people who are driving distracted. Instead officers are trained to observe everything going on around them.
"We have a renewed emphasis on being watchful for any and all moving violations out there, including distracted and careless driving," Barnes explained.
To combat the issue of distracted driving locally, Marvidikis said she and others at the Health Department have handed out cards and information about the effects of driving distracted. The Health Department has also worked closely with local high schools to bring in speakers and get the information out to teens directly.
One program in place at Carbon High School has seen a group of students, who have exhibited good driving skills and no citations, get the chance to go up to Camp Williams to participate at a driving course. The day long event, put on by the Utah Highway Patrol and in conjunction with high schools around the state, also includes classroom time with the students learning about the effects of distracted driving through videos, interviews with families who have lost loved ones and more.
"I think law enforcement and the educators are doing a good job of getting students to understand the issues," Barnes said.
One of the ways the issue of distracted driving is being combated nationally is through the "Put it Down" program. "Put it Down" is a broad, public-private partnership of community and health groups, safety advocates, businesses, law enforcement, legislators, public officials, concerned citizens and those who have lost loved ones because of a distracted driver, according to information from the NHTSA.
"There are no do-overs with an accident because of distracted driving," Marvidikis said.
Across the nation, distracted driving has brought about legislation with many states adopting laws regarding the use of cell phones while driving. According to the NHTSA, as of January 2011, nine states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands ban all hand-held cell phone use for all drivers. Also 32 states, including the District of Columbia, ban texting by all drivers.
In Utah, two bills in the House and Senate concern talking and texting while driving for minors. Utah Senate Bill 113 prohibits a person younger than 18 years of age from using a wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle. With Utah House Bill 290, it can add a careless driving violation to an individual using a hand-held wireless device for text messaging or sending and receiving e-mails while operating a motor vehicle.
Even police officers are not exempt from the effects of distractions in their squad cars. With computers, radar equipment and other devices to watch, Barnes said officers, like all drivers, need to take precautions with what they are doing while on the job.
"Nobody should take anything for granted while driving because life is full of all kinds of surprises out on the roads," Barnes said.
Barnes suggested drivers take precautions with anything you are doing while driving, whether it's changing the radio station, putting makeup on or reaching around in the car for something in particular.
"Many people exhibit the thought while driving that nothing bad will never happen to me," he said. "Taking precautions before getting behind the wheel of a car can go a long way."

Applying Systems Change to Integrative Health Care: How Ohio's Wellness Management and Recovery (WMR) is Building Communities of Wellness and Transforming Health Care Service Delivery
Webinar – Wednesday, February 26, 2014
5:30 pm - 7:00 pm Pacific
On February 26, 2014, at 5:30 PM Pacific, the Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine will sponsor a Webinar on Applying Systems Change to Integrative Health Care. The presenter will be Deborah A. Wilcox, PhD, who is a member of the School of Mind--Body Medicine faculty. Dr. Wilcox is also the Founder and CEO of Confluency Consultants and Associates, a multicultural educational and organizational development consultancy. She is the lead consultant, and an educator and researcher for the Wellness Management and Recovery Coordinating Center of Excellence (www.wmrohio.org). Dr. Wilcox has practiced for over 20 years working with public and private sectors organizations, and has conducted professional development presentations on local, national and international levels. Currently she serves on the Board of Directors of the National Wellness Institute (www.nationalwellness.org) and the Health Policy Institute of Ohio's Wellness and Prevention Collaborative (www.hpio.net).
This Webinar will appeal to a wide audience in behavioral health care, education, health and wellness coaching, and community mental health advocacy. It will examine how Ohio's Wellness Management and Recovery (WMR), an emerging evidence-based practice and technical assistance organization in integrated healthcare, has supported community-building at the individual, organizational, and community levels. WMR promotes culturally appropriate, person-centered healthcare. Initial outcomes have shown that the WMR program facilitates holistic health, wellness and recovery among persons living with psychiatric, co-occurring, and/or drug and alcohol substance abuse disorders.
Participants will be introduced to the WMR Toolbox, a small group psycho-educational process inclusive of experiential learning. Throughout this Webinar participants will become more familiar with the core ingredients of WMR and building relationships across human differences though applied multicultural competency. Through this process, participants will gain a new understanding of their own personal wellness, tools for facilitating wellness for others, and learn about the WMR core competencies for fostering systemic change in the area of integrative health care service delivery. Following the presentation, there will be approximately 30 minutes for questions and discussion.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will learn the ethical best practices of Multicultural Competency in the context of health promotions and how applied cultural competence supports and fosters sustained wellness and recovery.
2. Participants will gain information on how the WMR Toolbox promotes group growth, personal transformation, and building relationships across cultural differences.
3. Participants will learn about the impact of mental health stigma, how it affects overall wellness and recovery, and tools for unlearning and interrupting stigma.
4. Participants will be able to identify tools for measuring health and wellness from a person-centered perspective.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
"She's angry and I haven't seen her getting any happier," said Sheriff James Cordova as he spoke of Mother Nature and her role in the Seeley Fire.
Drought has parched the forests, shifting winds tend to push the fire in all directions and there's still a probability of dry thunderstorms to complicate matters further.
Cordova was taking part in another public briefing on the battle against the fire Monday night, and the news was not cheerful about the scenic and serene canyons charred by the blaze.
"When you see these areas, you're going to see a different place," the sheriff said, "but there will be brighter days at the end."
There is some light shining through all the smoke, though. The Eastern Arizona Incident Management Team reported that as of Tuesday afternoon there were still no structures lost.
Considering that these "structures" range from cabins at boat camps to multimillion-dollar electric transmission lines, natural gas production facilities and coal mines, that's upbeat news.
As the fire expanded to more than 33,000 acres, the fire fighting force grew to 539 members, including 11 hand crews of 20 persons each, eight helicopters, 14 water tenders and 22 engines.
On Monday, the team began fighting fire with fire, aerially igniting a cordon of backfires to keep spot fires from breaking out.
Tom Goheen of the team's planning operations explained that the backfires have to be lit to halt the spread of airborne ash and embers. As dry as conditions are, more than 90 percent of the embers hitting a fuel source are igniting it. Usually 15 percent is expected.
Out of the past 40 years of his career, Goheen has spent all but two Independence Days fighting fires.
He said this is a bad as he's ever seen fire conditions.
The fire is staying in the higher elevations and is also burning mainly on the north slopes of the canyons where the tall trees are, Goheen said. It is not spreading through the sagebrush or grass at the lower elevations and on the sun-facing aspects.
Commissioner Mike Milovich warned the crowd at the briefing that there have been reports of people driving four-wheelers through the back country, "trying to get up close and personal with the fire." He urged the audience to do what they could to discourage friends from taking the risk. "Somebody's going to get hurt," he said.
All roads heading westbound into the fire zone remained closed to all except permitted traffic.
Mine workers at the Horizon and Skyline operations were being allowed past the checkpoints.

Teen to serve 17 years for ASU student's murder
PHOENIX — A teenager accused of helping his uncle rob and fatally shoot an Arizona State University honor student will serve 17 years in prison.
The Arizona Republic reports a Maricopa County Superior Court judge on Friday ordered 19-year-old Marion Patterson to serve time for the killing as well as five years for violating parole.
Patterson will be able to serve the sentences concurrently.
Patterson, who prosecutors say was not the shooter, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Prosecutors say his uncle, 21-year-old Louis Harper, shot 21-year-old Zachary Marco on Oct. 17, 2010 while Marco was walking in Tempe. Police believe Marco was killed for his cellphone and laptop computer.
Harper, who pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, was sentenced last month to life in prison.

By JAMES FRANKLIN RINEHARTPrice
During 2005, Congress will be asked to pass legislation committing the United States to membership in a new Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). More than 10 years in the planning, the FTAA would entangle 34 Western Hemisphere nations in exactly the kind of sovereignty-destroying arrangement in which nations in the European Union (EU) now find themselves.
The various proposals ostensibly promoting "free trade" call for government-controlled -even internationally controlled-commerce. These pacts have little to do with freedom when they contain hundreds-even thousands-of pages of regulations. They are instead steps designed ultimately to bring about regional government and then world government.
The drive to have the U.S. submit to the FTAA must be blocked if the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution are to be preserved, and if future generations are to enjoy the proven successes of more than 200 years of our nation's enviable history.
Commerce was not the only matter addressed by the WTO. When entry into this pact was being considered in 1994, the attorneys general of 42 separate states warned that it threatened to force changes in the laws of each of their state and local governments. Some members of Congress are now advocating U.S. withdrawal from the WTO.They point to WTO rulings against our nation's tax laws, steel tariffs, oil importation, and even the purchase of bananas.

Finally, A Breath Mint That Does What Its Supposed To!Monday, September 10th, 2007
- Actually Removes Bad Breath and Taste
- Stops Production of Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC's)
- Stimulates Oxygen-Rich Saliva Flow
by Dr. Harold Katz – Founder, California Breath Clinics
Since I started the California Breath Clinics in 1994, I have never recommended or endorsed any kind of breath mint. Simply put, there was nothing that I ever found that was truly a breath freshener.
All the "breath candies" that you're used to seeing in the stores (Altoids, Tic-Tacs, Certs, Ice Breakers, etc…) all commit some kind of fatal mistake in the documented science of creating fresh breath. You see, by now the academic halitosis community knows the causes of bad breath…. and we also know the exact conditions that create an oral environment in your mouth that is MORE LIKELY to produce bad breath.
So wouldn't you think that a 'breath mint' should contain ingredients that make this oral environment less likely to happen? At the very least, there shouldn't be anything in there would make that oral environment WORSE, right?
You can probably see what I'm getting at…. the top breath fresheners on the market ALL contain either sugar (which the bad breath bacteria absolutely feast on), or they contain an artificial flavor designed to cover-up rather than prevent bad breath and taste.
NONE OF THEM Contain Any Clinically Proven, Breath-Refreshing Ingredients.
ZOX mints are the first breath mint designed to remove bad breath instead of mask it.
Now first let me get one thing straight …. if you have chronic halitosis, then DON'T expect a breath mint to make the problem go away (although they are an excellent maintenance device if you are already using the TheraBreath system in the morning and night). My last 10 years have been spent helping people who mostly have had chronic halitosis problems – the type of condition that every time you talk with a person you detect an odor from their breath.
But there is a type of bad breath out there that is common to everyone that I've been largely ignoring for the last 10 years! I refer to this type as situational bad breath. Situational Bad Breath occurs in 99.9% of the world population at one time or another (statistically just about everybody, but my lawyers make me say it like that!). It happens when someone activates a 'trigger' that causes the oral environment in their mouth to become more likely for the anaerobic bacteria to begin creating the volatile sulfur compounds (VSC's) that cause bad breath.
In scientific terms, when your mouth encounters one of these triggers, it creates an oral environment that encourages the anaerobic bacteria to begin extracting sulfur compounds from specific amino acids. One amino acid (Cysteine) turns into Hydrogen Sulfide (the rotten-egg smell), and another amino acid (Methionine) becomes Methyl Mercaptan which smells sort of like dirty socks!
So Let's Take A Real-World Example For A Minute…
You get together with some friends one weekend for bite to eat at a delectable restaurant that serves cheese fondue, with a strawberry daiquiri to cap it off.
You want to make sure you have fresh breath, so after dinner you pop in an Altoid or other such breath candy . . . . STOP!
Although you may have a cinnamon-like taste in your mouth, what you've really just done is made your bad breath problem MUCH worse. Let me explain:
During dinner, you introduced two 'triggers' to your mouth (protein and alcohol) that weren't previously there and made your particular oral environment very eager to begin creating those foul-smelling VSC's.
Then after dinner, by sucking on that mint, you actually gave those bacteria a food source they LOVE (sugar) to help along the VSC production. Yes, it's true you TASTE cinnamon or mint, but that's only a temporary cover up and what people actually SMELL is usually a lot worse!
ZOX is The First Breath Mint To Actually NEUTRALIZE Bad Breath Production.
I created ZOX because I wanted to address the fact that almost all the other 'breath mints' on the market DO NOT take into account the principles of halitosis prevention that I've been studying for the last 10 years! Most of them are created to TASTE GOOD and that's about it. ZOX was created based on the same clinically proven Zinc/Oxygen/Xylitol principles used by the rest of the TheraBreath product line. It is literally bad breath prevention science packed into a roll of breath mints!
First, ZOX have no sugar – your breath mint should NEVER have sugar in it. ZOX uses xylitol which is a natural sweetener and has also been proven to have tremendous anti-decay properties.
Next, we added zinc gluconate for it's ability to literally put a "straight-jacket" around those 'bad-breath producing' anaerobic bacteria. Zinc Gluconate blocks the receptors on the anaerobic bacteria so that they don't bind with the amino acids. And if they don't bind with the amino acids, then they don't produce VSC's!
ZOX contains no aspartame, no saccharin, and no artificial colors or flavors.
ZOX has been specifically created for the sole purpose of preventing bad breath, and removing metallic tastes, NOT for just covering them up. The longer you keep a ZOX in your mouth, the more volatile sulfur compounds it will neutralize.
Plus, each mint is only 5 calories, so you can have as many as you want.
The bottom line is that all-natural ZOX are the first and only breath mint to neutralize bad breath based on the clinically proven methods practiced by the California Breath Clinics over the past 10 years.
For control of 'occasional' or 'situational' bad breath there is nothing better than ZOX.
All my Best,
-Harold Katz, DDS

his night as his team heads back home looking to force a game 7.

The excellent bus and tram network operates from about 5am to midnight with a night bus service running on weekends. A basic fare costs CHF 3 and allows use of the network within Geneva's central zone and unlimited transfers between buses and trams for an hour; or there are cheaper tickets limited to three stops and including a return journey within 30 minutes. Tickets must be pre-purchased and validated on boarding. Taxis are plentiful but generally an expensive means of transport. Driving in the city is not recommended as parking is very difficult, but to tour around Lake Geneva, hiring a car is the most practical way to get around.

Geneva is situated at a high altitude, which together with the lake, tempers the prevailing continental climate. Summers are pleasantly warm to hot, and winters relatively mild with temperatures hovering just above or below freezing. In summer, between June and August, temperatures average between 54°F (12°C) and 79°F (26°C). In winter, between December and February, temperatures average between 29°F (-1°C) and 43°F (6°C). Rain falls all year round, and occasionally the city suffers the ravages of a harsh north wind known as the bise.
Public buses leave for the city centre every few minutes from the departures and arrivals levels. Passengers can pick up tickets for public transport from the machines in the baggage collection area on the arrivals level; information is available at the Unireso information counter in the arrivals hall. A free hotel shuttle transports passengers to major hotels. A Unireso train leaves for Cornavin RR Station in the city centre roughly every 10 minutes, from where connections can be made to destinations throughout Europe.
Car rental companies include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and National. Travellers should ensure they hire their car on the French side of the border if they are going to France, and vice-versa. It is only about three miles (5km) into town.
Taxis can be found outside of the arrival terminal and it costs about CHF 40 to the city centre (a bit extra for luggage). The trip is three miles (5km) and commute times vary according to traffic. Taxis are metered and there are around 60 registered taxi ranks in Geneva.
Terminal 2 is only used for charter flights in the winter months and is usually closed.
Luggage lockers can be found in the Train Station Mall and on the arrivals level. A Skycom Airport Business Centre and Business Corner offer a range of business facilities. Other amenities include banks, bureaux de change, ATMs, bars and restaurants, tourist information, a hotel reservation desk, post office and shops, including duty-free. Facilities for disabled passengers are good; those with special needs should contact their airline in advance.
Parking at Geneva Cointrin International Airport ranges upwards from about CHF 2 an hour for short-term parking, to CHF 29 daily and CHF 101 weekly in long-term parking. Note that tariffs vary dramatically depending on the parking lot. P51 is the cheapest long-term option. Eurocard, American Express or Visa cards can be used to pay for parking in parking lots.
The airport offers 90 minutes free wifi access. Additional time can be purchased.

The department of transportation recently hired an independent agency to study Utah highway 10 from Stake Farm Road to U.S. 6 and identify the issues that may come up in attempting to meet future traffic demands within the corridor.
As part of the study process, the road planners will conduct two neighborhood meetings next week to accept public input on the pros and cons of potential options, explained the Utah Department of Transportation.
The primary objective of the meetings is to collect data from local citizens and explore possible solutions.
No SR-10 alternatives have been identified to date, stressed the state agency.
The neighborhood meetings are scheduled June 30 at 1:30 p.m. and at 5:30 p.m. at Carbon School District cafeteria, 251 W. 400 North, Price. Brief presentations are slated at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
State Road 10 is a major north-south corridor in Carbon and Emery counties, pointed out the transportation department. The study will analyze traffic conditions between Stake Farm Road and U.S. 6. Traffic demand, driveway access and safety improvements will be addressed as part of the process.
Conducted by H.W. Lochner, the study may lead to applications for money to fund future road projects, noted the department of transportation. The evaluation will:
Utilize information from previous studies and continue to seek additional input from the community.
Determine the best solution for the Carbon County community on SR-10 from Stake Farm Road to U.S. 6.
Addressing an unrelated matter, UDOT Region 4 representative Myron Lee recently indicated that construction on the bridge near the port of entry on U.S. 6 will start July 6.
The transportation department expects to finish rehabilitating the deck and bridge parapets or railing by Labor Day.
Bridge improvements will be completed in three phases and UDOT will utilize the shoulders of the roadway during the construction project. Traffic will be slowed to 40 miles per hour as the driving lanes narrow.
Precast concrete barriers will be utilized when the project switches from phase to phase. The work in question will occur at night and, during the switches, the road will be closed to one lane of traffic.
