House panel OKs ban on texting while driving
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 11:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 11:07 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE — A House panel has passed a bill creating a statewide ban on texting while driving.
The House Economics Affair committee on Tuesday cleared the bill (HB 13) by a 16-1 vote. Chairman Jimmy Patronis was the only vote against. The Panama City Republican had concerns about government intrusion into people's lives.
The ban is enforceable as a secondary offense. That means police have to first stop drivers for another offense like speeding. A first violation is a $30 fine.
The ban includes typing a text or reading a text while driving. It also includes tablet computers and mobile phones. It would exclude using a "talk-to-text" feature and allows texting while stopped at a red light.
A companion bill (SB 52) is in the Senate.

Data shows potential harmful effects to workers due to acid gas exposure
[carbon dioxide]
[hydrogen sulfide]
[acid gas]
Many different types of facilities produce or use streams
containing a high carbon dioxide (CO2) content
(98+%) with low hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
concentrations, e.g., a few parts per million by volume (ppmv)
to a few volume percent (vol%). Examples include
CO2-flood enhanced oil recovery, pre-combustion carbon capture (from fossil
fuel-fired power plants and industrial facilities) and sequestration,
natural gas conditioning, and agricultural manufacturing, among
others. In all of these industries, the potential for a release
in a processing step or during transmission through a pipeline
The health effects and dangers of H2S are well
known, but those of CO2 are not as commonly
understood. It is uncertain if industry realizes that
CO2 is a mildly toxic gas and not just a simple
asphyxiant like nitrogen. Because CO2 itself is
toxic at higher concentrations, the high-purity CO2
streams can actually be more hazardous than the H2S
and they are the subject of discussion in this article. In such
cases, the presence of H2S may actually allow easier
detection of the CO2 danger.
This article reviews the hazards of H2S and
CO2 and compares the effects from these acid gases
on humans. Concentration levels corresponding to the
immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) levels of the
two gases are used to illustrate conditions where both
H2S and CO2 are present, and the
CO2 (not the H2S) is the predominant
concern. A goal is to educate readers to think of
CO2 as a mildly toxic gas and not just an
asphyxiant, and to recognize conditions where it can represent
the more significant hazard, even if small concentrations of
H2S are also present.
Hydrogen sulfide is an intensely hazardous, toxic
compound.1 It is a colorless, flammable gas that can
be identified in relatively low concentrations by a
characteristic rotten egg odor. This acid gas is naturally
occurring and is in the gases from volcanoes, sulfur springs,
undersea vents, swamps and stagnant bodies of water and in
crude petroleum and natural gas. Hydrogen sulfide is produced
when bacteria break down sulfur-containing proteins, and it is
a component of decomposing materials. In addition,
H2S is also produced from man-made operations and
processes such as petroleum refineries, food processing plants,
tanneries, municipal sewers, sewage treatment plants,
landfills, swine containment and manure-handling operations,
and pulp and paper mills.
Hydrogen sulfide has a very low odor threshold, with its
smell being easily detected by most people in the range of
0.0005 ppmv to 0.3 ppmv.2 As the gas becomes more
concentrated, the odor increases with a strong rotten egg smell
identifiable up to 30 ppmv. From about 30 ppmv to 100 ppmv, the
gas is stated to have a sickeningly sweet odor. However, at
concentrations above 100 ppmv, a persons ability to
detect the gas decreases due to a rapid temporary paralysis of
the olfactory nerves in the nose that leads to a loss of
the sense of smell. This means that the gas can be present
in the environment at extremely high
concentrations with no noticeable odor. This unusual property
of H2S makes it very dangerous to depend solely on
the sense of smell as a warning sign of the
Once H2S is released as a gas, it remains in the
atmosphere for an average of 18 hours, after which it changes
to sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid.2 It is
water-soluble and, therefore, it may partition to surface water
or adsorb onto moist soil, plant foliage, or other organic
material where it loses much of its toxic properties.
Hydrogen sulfide is classified as a chemical asphyxiant,
similar to carbon monoxide (CO) and cyanide
gases. It interferes with nerve cell function, putting certain
nerves to sleep, including olfactory (as discussed previously)
and the ones necessary for breathing. Table 1 shows the typical
exposure symptoms of H2S.
It is important to note that while most chemicals are toxic,
exposure has to occur (at a level that is considered toxic)
before adverse health effects are observed. Most, if not all,
of the irreversible health outcomes including death have
occurred due to overexposure to H2S in confined
Carbon dioxide is a slightly toxic,
odorless and colorless gas. It is typically found in air at
around 360 ppmv (0.036 vol%) while exhaled air may contain as
much as 40,000 ppmv (4 vol%). Table 2 shows the general affects
of CO2 over different ranges of exposure.
At lower concentrations, CO2 affects the
respiratory system and central nervous system. Too much
CO2 also acts as a simple asphyxiant by reducing the
amount of oxygen available for respiration.6 At
higher concentrations, too, the ability to eliminate
CO2 decreases and it can accumulate in the body. In
this way, CO2 differs from some other asphyxiants,
such as nitrogen (N2). Unlike CO2,
N2 does not get distributed throughout the body to
cause an adverse health effect; rather, N2 acts
simply by displacing oxygen from the air and, thereby,
decreasing the amount of oxygen available for respiration.
Result: CO2 is dangerous at a much
lower level than some other asphyxiants, such as
Nitrogen is discussed here because it is a common potential
asphyxiant in industrial settings. The following example
illustrates the differences between CO2 and
N2. Consider a hypothetical example where 90 parts
of atmospheric air (normally 21% O2 and 79%
N2) are mixed with 10 parts of either pure
CO2 or N2. The resulting mixture
compositions are shown in Fig. 1.
As shown in Fig. 1, the resulting mixture with
CO2 addition contains 18.9% O2, 71.1%
N2, and 10% CO2. As discussed previously,
such a mixture could potentially kill a person. Conversely, the
mixture with N2 contains 18.9% O2 and
81.1% N2; while this mixture is lower in oxygen than
normal air and below the recommended O2 % for
workers, it is not likely to cause irreversible health effects.
The effect of going from a 21% oxygen atmosphere to an 18.9%
oxygen atmosphere is similar to going from sea level to about
3,000 ft in elevation (roughly the elevation of Midland,
Texas), as far as the oxygen partial pressure is concerned.
Most people who are acclimated to sea level would have no
trouble going to 3,000 ft in elevation.
In summary, mixing 10 parts CO2 with 90 parts air
can possibly cause a person breathing the mixture to die if
exposed long enough. In contrast, mixing 10% N2 with
air probably has little effect on a person. Clearly, it is very
important to recognize that CO2 is not the same
simple asphyxiant as N2.
Table 3 provides a summary of occupational exposure limits
for H2S and CO2. Occupational exposure
limits are typically designed to protect health and to provide
for the safety of employees for up to a 40-hour work week, over
a working lifetime. The threshold limit value (TLV) was
developed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (ACGIH) while the permissible exposure limit (PEL)
is an enforceable standard developed by the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA). The short-term exposure limit
(STEL) was developed by ACGIH and represents a 15-minute
time-weighted average exposure that should not be exceeded at
any time during the workday. The IDLH value was developed by
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) to provide a level at which a worker could escape
without injury or irreversible health effects.
IDLH values are conservatively established by NIOSH to give
a worker approximately 30 minutes to evacuate an area. The IDLH
for both H2S and CO2 are purposefully
established below levels at which adverse and irreversible
health effects would be seen following 30 minutes of exposure.
The IDLH for H2S was developed based on human data
(and supplemented with information from laboratory animals)
that showed that between 170 ppmv and 300 ppmv, a person can be
exposed for one hour without serious health effects and that
400 ppmv to 700 ppmv can be dangerous if exposure is greater
than 30 minutes. A person can be exposed to H2S at
800 ppmv for approximately 5 minutes before unconsciousness
occurs, while exposure at 1,000 ppmv or greater can cause
immediate respiratory arrest, unconsciousness and possibly
For CO2, a person can sustain exposure to the
IDLH of 40,000 ppmv for 30 minutes with minimal signs of
intoxication (e.g., changes in breathing rate, headache and
fatigue). At 30 minutes of exposure to 50,000 ppmv
CO2, signs of intoxication become more pronounced. A
person can sustain exposure to 70,000 ppmv to 100,000 ppmv
CO2 for about 5 minutes and signs of intoxication
become intense with very labored breathing, visual impairment,
headache, ringing in the ears and potentially impaired
judgment. Air containing CO2 at a concentration
greater than 100,000 ppmv (i.e., 10 vol%) can produce extreme
discomfort and, as indicated above, can be
Table 4 shows an example of how a gas stream containing
initial concentrations of H2S of 2,000 ppmv and of
CO2 of 98 vol% would change assuming a uniform
dispersion in air for both compounds. As shown in the table,
when the IDLH of H2S (100 ppmv) is reached, the
CO2 content is still above the IDLH level of 40,000
ppmv. Even more dramatic are the 5-minute exposure levels; when
the H2S exposure level is at the 5-minute limit of
800 ppmv, the CO2 concentration is at 392,000 ppmv,
which is far above the level a person can survive for 5
minutes. Thus, given the much higher percentage of the
CO2 in this gas stream, the danger from
CO2 is higher than the danger posed by
In actuality, it is difficult to determine the
likelihood of a release and the potential concentration a
person may encounter following a release. A release could occur
at any point in the processing unit or transfer pipeline
depending on the source of the stream (see Fig. 2). Atmospheric
conditions, such as the wind or physical location of the
release (low lying area), can greatly affect the dispersion
rate and exposure concentrations of the two compounds. Some
potential exposure scenarios are discussed here.
If there is wind, a small release (i.e., not a catastrophic
event) would most likely disperse relatively quickly. Under
this scenario, a person downwind (unless they were within close
proximity to the release) would probably not be exposed to a
harmful concentration of either compound. In fact, the presence
of H2S (which has an odor at very low
concentrations) may actually provide an early indicator of a
CO2 release that would otherwise go undetected.
Although H2S may provide an early indicator of a
release in certain situations, this should not be relied upon
because H2S deadens the sense of smell at higher
concentrations. Exposure should be kept to a minimum by
applying sufficient engineering controls and safe work
practices. Appropriate monitoring and personal protective
equipment should always be used.
Because both compounds are heavier than air (the specific
gravity for H2S and CO2 is 1.192 and
1.52, respectively), the most likely place to encounter harmful
levels of either compound would be in a low-lying area or
depression. This is currently an issue for CO2
pipelines in which harmful levels of CO2 can
accumulate in these areas, regardless of the presence of
H2S. The presence of H2S increases
concerns due to its more insidious toxicity (i.e., it can
render a person incapable of escape at sufficiently high
concentrations). However, levels above the IDLH could occur in
a confined space or depression for either compound. As
indicated earlier, the presence of H2S may provide a
warning that a release has occurred and prevent a person from
entering the area where potentially dangerous levels of
CO2 or H2S may be present.
Note: The use of direct reading gas detection
instrumentation and other protective measures should be
required before entering confined spaces such as manholes,
tanks, pits and vessels that could contain a buildup of these
Since the mechanisms of action for CO2 and
H2S are very different, it is unlikely that exposure
to both compounds will be worse than exposure to only one
compound. Most occupational exposure limits are based on
exposure to single compounds, even though it is recognized that
multiple compounds may be encountered, and Environmental Protection Agency only
considers compounds additive if they affect the same target
organ or act by the same mechanism. Moreover, industries such
as swine production, where both CO2 and
H2S are measured in the air, do not adjust
occupational exposure limits for added worker safety nor have
synergist effects (i.e., effects that are worse when in
combination than when exposure is to a single compound) been
noted for industries where exposure to both compounds
Based on the general qualitative analysis of exposure to
both H2S and CO2 discussed here, it
appears that there is no increased risk from the presence of
H2S at low levels (e.g., up to perhaps 2,000 ppmv or
higher) in high-purity CO2 gas. In fact, in these
types of gas streams, the potential exposure to high
CO2 concentrations during a release event could be
as dangerous, or more dangerous, than exposure to lower
concentrations of the more toxic H2S. At high
concentrations, CO2 may accumulate in the body,
which is different than some other asphyxiants (i.e.,
N2). It is most important to recognize the
difference between CO2 and other common asphyxiants.
In some cases, the H2S in the gas may serve as a
warning for the more hazardous CO2 environment.
Dispersion modeling for specific release scenarios should be
conducted to better understand possible exposure limits and
impacts on human health for both compounds. Appropriate safety
precautions should be implemented including monitoring (both
fixed and personal detection systems) and training on chemical
hazards, personal protection equipment and safety rescue
procedures. HP

good way to undastand if you add some video clip all sothyank you regard
It is very good article. I would like to take opinion / comments of experts about the case where fuel gas contains Co2 more than one lakh ppm and H2S is less than 90 ppm, In such case, what precautions will be required for using this fuel gas in boiler and power turbine which are proposed to be used in enclosed area at FPSO? I would be grateful if expert give comments with supporting codes / class reference for handling about 0.15MMSCMD natural gas as fuel gas.
Excellent assessment.The same opinion with the precedent comments on H2S. I am working as corrosion engineer. My point is that as both together are the chlorides- not enough considered from environmental and chemical agressivity point of view. I recommend studies on the last- chlorides, present also in our potable (!?) water. Thank you for your efforts. Trimeric is not a "small" Company, having so good specialists. I would like to be in contact with them.
The authors have performed a valuable service by developing this well written article describing the insidious but harmful nature of high concentration CO2 releases into ambient air.I do take exception to the comparison with H2S however. H2S is arguably the most LETHAL chemical commonly existing. A single breath of 10% H2S can be fatal with a 2nd breath not ever taken. 'I thought I smelled H2S, but it was just a little bit' is a common exclamation from survivors of single breath incapacitation--who were rescued and resuscitated. Such in the unforgiving nature of H2S --as long as you can smell it--you are going to be able to get out to fresh air--when you cannot smell it--you MAY have taken your last breath of life.

Male Call
The Party
Chicago's most stylish men and women converged upon Barneys New York to join CS in celebrating the Men's Issue and its Men of Style feature with a cocktail party in the fifth-floor men's department.
The Scene
DJ (and MoS alum) Matt Roan set the mood with a razor-sharp mix that energized a crowd including previous best-dressed list toppers Darnell Robinson, Leonard Goldberg and Josh Pace, who all compared notes with current honorees. So— has life changed much for Alex Maier, whose dashing good looks graced the opening spread of this year's feature? "Women are chasing him down the street!" jokes Maier's girlfriend, Nina Johnson. "Thankfully none of them are fast enough!"
The Highlights
Upon arrival, partiers received a Barneys gift card valued at anywhere from $50 to $1,000, which led to more than a few impromptu shopping sprees in nearly every department. (A few guests ventured as far as the lower level to browse the latest in men's skincare.) Of course, inhibitions may also have been loosened by a tempting assortment of beer, Champagne and manhattans. Cocktails and top-tier designer goods?

In your first two minutes with Sela Ward, she's as warm as buttered grits. She's elegant but accessible, all raven hair, endless legs and direct brown eyes under chevron brows. She's got the poise of a prom queen (which she was, in her hometown of Meridian, Mississippi) and the positivity of a cheerleader (which she also was, at the University of Alabama). You can understand why Sprint once hired her to pitch phone plans in her pajamas, and why Harrison Ford risked his neck for her in The Fugitive. But stick around for two minutes more, and you'll also see that beneath Ward's sweetness runs a delicious streak of salt.
She limps into lunch at a midtown Manhattan restaurant, one foot swollen to the size of a cricket bat from her cracking a bone as she exited an airport bus. "I have got to come up with a better story," she says, sighing. "Can we say that I was climbing the Buddha statue at [New York restaurant] Tao, and that I hurt it jumping off?" She's wearing slim black pants, a fitted black shirt that's unbuttoned just far enough and a clutch of pendants on cords and chains. She rummages in her bag, pulls out an iPhone and a pair of smart red reading glasses and gets right to business with the menu, ordering salad, ravioli and iced tea. (Later, she'll filch your lemon.)
She's just come from a screening of her latest movie, The Stepfather, a remake of the 1987 thriller. She plays a divorced mother who has no idea that her new boyfriend (Nip/Tuck's Dylan Walsh) is a serial marrier whose search for the perfect family takes murderous turns. "It was so much better than I thought it would be!" Ward tells me. "Thrillers are so gory now, and this is more psychological, so I was really surprised it held up." It features some major action scenes—Ward falling through an attic floor, for one—and lots of screaming.
"I told Sela, 'The audience will only be as scared as you are,' " says Nelson McCormick, The Stepfather's director. "So she's not pretending, she's living those moments. Her stomach was in knots. That's why I wanted her to play this role—I always believe her. She has real integrity. She's vulnerable without being needy. And in this movie, she's the face of all women who've spent their days making their kids happy, working, paying bills, who've reached the point in their lives when the clock may be running out on their chance to have a man who makes them happy."
Ward doesn't agree with McCormick's last-chance take on her character: "I have to give him a hard time about that," she says dryly. But she's hearing a few clocks ticking in her own life too. What to do about that is her next challenge.
When Ward turned 50 in 2006, her entrepreneur husband, Howard Sherman, threw her a party. Some 40 friends and family members were invited to the 500-acre farm in Mississippi where Ward has created a second home; Sherman hired a rhythm and blues band from Atlanta, and he secretly brought in a crew to renovate the top floor of their barn. The party's theme, which was printed on napkins and hand fans, was "It's All Good." "As in, Sela's turning 50, it's all good," Ward says. But her tone suggests that she's still convincing herself it's true.
"It really hit me, the passage of time," she says. "It's not about aging, it's just, wow, life is flying. I haven't gone through menopause yet, but I know it's coming. This Chinese doctor where I get acupuncture told me they call menopause the second spring. Which is the most fabulous way to put it. We've got a whole second life ahead of us to pursue our passions. We've been ambitious and driven, trying to find the right guy and have a family, and you get on the other side of that and you go, Now what? The truth is, I don't know the answer to that yet. I have to ask myself those hard questions."
She's had a difficult year. She lost two beloved aunts, and in January her father, G. H. (short for Granberry Holland) Ward, a retired engineer, died of complications following surgery at age 85. (Her mother, Annie Kate, a homemaker, died seven years ago after a grueling battle with ovarian cancer.) "My father's death was easier for me, because the last chapter of his life was a really good one," Ward says. He had a girlfriend and lived in a house on Ward's farm. After a lifetime of alcoholism, he'd given up drinking. "He got sober when he was 79, when my mom died. Which tells you what kind of relationship they had," Ward says flatly. "Growing up in an alcoholic family . . . while it wasn't physical abuse, there is a certain amount of neglect, because if you're an alcoholic, you're not there. Things I yearned for and wished I had gotten in my relationship with my
father, or that our whole family unit had been able to experience, were not there, because of the disease."
Ward and her father didn't have a big reconciliation when he got sober. "He wouldn't go there," she says. Her dad "was not a man of many words; he was sort of the strong, silent type." Even when she got engaged, years earlier, she remembers, "all he said was, 'Yup, that's what I heard.' Then beat, beat, and he goes, 'I changed the oil in the Barracuda' "—a red convertible he'd given her when she was 15. "He couldn't acknowledge that I was getting married, so he brought up that car. Maybe that's why the Barracuda was so meaningful to me: It was a tangible connection, and I kept it forever, until about three years ago. But I got to see a different part of him [at the end of his life], and that was awesome to experience. And totally unexpected. A little late, but amazing."
Not surprisingly, losing her last parent has made Ward more aware of her own mortality. "You definitely know that you're next," she says. "You don't have that fluffy cushion between you and life. Whenever I returned home, I had a good bed and meals cooked for me, and my favorite cake would be there: yellow cake with chocolate icing and pecans on top. So it is very different. It's been an 'eat a lot of chocolate' kind of year. I've put on 10 pounds."
Another hard question: Ward knows she wants to work, but at what? She's already hit the zeitgeist bull's-eye twice, playing complicated women in the TV series Sisters (1991 to 1996) and Once and Again (1999 to 2002), winning an Emmy for each. With midlife women all the rage on the small screen now, it seems like an ideal time to go back to TV. But Ward isn't ready to commit to those 14-hour days again; she wants to be home with her 15-year-old son, Austin, and 11-year-old daughter, Anabella, in the Bel Air house she has spent the past three years renovating.
"If I could, I'd do a film a year for the rest of my life," she says. "But opportunities are few and far between in today's market because of the audience being so young. That makes me sad. I feel I'm so ready. I've lived enough life now to give an amazing performance if I had the material. I was happy The Stepfather came up, because I thought it would be fun and different enough. But I really need to do some gritty thing. I keep playing these moms who are so nice. I'd like to misbehave a little. I have a wonderful underbelly that I'd love to share."
She lets out a cackle, and continues, "You know the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona? Somebody asked me which of the women I'd be. I said, 'I don't want to be them, I want to be him [the lothario played by Javier Bardem]!' I want to be the person who walks into the restaurant and looks at someone and goes, 'Do you want to go away with me for the weekend?' I envy that."
Ward has misbehaved, a little.
As a model for Wilhelmina in the late 1970s and early 1980s, she hung out at New York nightclubs like Area and Studio 54. "But I wasn't in the back room with Warhol," Ward says. "I was a neophyte from Mississippi." The coed bathrooms, the couples making love in curtained alcoves, the living dioramas lining Area's entrance hall, "all that stuff was so, wow!" Ward says. "It was beyond the beyond for me."
Ward moved to Los Angeles in 1983, and when she was 34 she met her husband on a blind date. "I was used to men talking at me, in a pontificating, court-holding way," she says. "I'd never really dated men who talked to me, as in, were interested in me. I was so taken that Howard found me so fascinating. But he was dating someone a lot younger, and I was dating this French restaurateur on Saint Bart's." She grins, remembering. "Ha! I'd finish filming and get on a plane. He didn't really speak anything but restaurant English, and I'd just broken off an engagement [to the actor Peter Weller], so it was perfect."
But Sherman courted her with cleverness. During her trip, he sent her insinuating faxes disguised as business letters ("Ms. Ward, We urgently need you in Napa Valley . . . "). "He knew this other guy's English wasn't very good," Ward says. "The poor guy would just hand the faxes to me. And I love therapy—I'm a therapy junkie—so Howard wrote a five-page scene, like a script, of me in my therapist's office, imagining our dialogue about him and the Saint Bart's guy. It was one of the funniest things I've ever read. I put it down and thought, I will never get bored with this man."
Seventeen years later, the couple still stay on their toes. She orders art history DVDs from the Teaching Company for them to watch together, and insists that they each see a therapist. "I just think the healthier people are in therapy," she says. "I can't be the only one who's conscious and working on something. You have to both keep growing in the same direction. So I'll go to his if we have some roadblock, and he'll come to mine sometimes. It's all about continuing to expand your mind so that you're more interesting and interested in things. So we don't look at each other and go, 'Who are you? What are we supposed to be doing now?' "
That seems highly unlikely, given Ward's plethora of interests. Family life is "snowballing really fast," she says. "My son will be driving; my daughter is still at that yummy age where I'm not the enemy yet. I'm just holding on tight." Her house in Bel Air is "a soul-soothing place," landscaped with tropical plants, old tree specimens, "and hammocks, because that's so Mississippi," Ward says. "I put a little stream in, so I hear water. I love Buddhas, because they make me think of the word relax, so I have a big Buddha by the pond. And I have my art studio in the back." She and two friends meet there once a week to paint—mostly abstracts, although Ward's working on figure drawing as well. She's also actively involved in Hope Village for Children, a long-term and emergency-housing compound for abused and neglected children that she helped to open in Meridian.
"I can't not do things," Ward says. "I have lots of passions, whether it's building and creating spaces, or painting, or exploring consciousness or reading. There's just a lot I'm interested in." Last summer, she even had white sand trucked in to her Mississippi farm to create a beach by the lake. "It was so funny, I overheard my nanny say to my old assistant, 'Sela has run out of things to decorate, so she's decorating dirt,' " Ward says, laughing. "But I can't tell you how it's changed the whole experience. Just sitting there in a lounge chair in the sand with tiki torches, you think you're somewhere really special."
That brings up another hard question Ward is asking herself: Should she keep living in L.A.? "I'm so not sure why I'm still there," she says. "I'm not a part of that world. Everybody's focused on things that are so ephemeral, particularly people's looks. And I see myself aging. I can't play the ingenue anymore—though in my mind I can—and I'm grappling with losing that part of my identity. I'm human, I'm not immune to that, but I really don't want to live that as I move further into my fifties, sixties and seventies. I want to focus on being happy I'm alive, not on being sad that's all behind."
When her son finishes high school in three years, she plans to move to the East Coast. In the meantime, "the biggest thing for me has been to try to figure out who the 'they' were that I was knocking myself out for, this collective 'they' who have keys to the kingdom that I don't have," Ward says. "That's a real big thing, if you think about it. They're all in my imagination. I think that's the biggest gift of age: not being afraid anymore. I used to be terrified to stand up for myself, worried that I didn't have the right to a creative voice. I'm not afraid of much anymore. Except flying. But dealing with people, no."
And when all else fails, she's got that salty humor. A few years ago, the director McG told Ward that she was next in line to play the villain in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle if Demi Moore didn't take the part. Moore took it, of course, and soon appeared on the cover of People wearing a bikini. "I'll never forget it," Ward says. "I was 48 or 49, on a boat trip in the Caribbean. I looked at that picture and went, 'I am never going to look like that again.' I just got tired when I looked at the cover of that magazine." Other actresses might have cried or booked a date with their surgeon. But they're not Sela Ward. "I just said, 'Screw it,' " she remembers, " 'can I have another glass of wine?' "

Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre could be the most beautiful venue on planet Earth.
One of the unexpected pleasures of living amid breathtaking scenery is that it makes an awesome backdrop for concerts. With top national acts and the gates open to bringing food and alcohol, music au naturel has become the best part of the summer entertainment scene.
Red Butte Garden Amphitheater
Tucked in a canyon adjacent to a mountainside arboretum, this could be the most beautiful place on planet Earth for a summer concert. (Ask David Byrne, Al Greene or Bonnie Raitt, all who said as much after walking on stage.) The amphitheater goes full-on spectacular as the sun sets crimson and alpenglow bathes the mountains above. Red Butteers pack blankets, snacks, sunhats and a couple bottles of wine to settle in for artists that have ranged from Bob Dylan to Mavis Staples.
This summer, David Byrne will be back, along with She & Him, Jackson Browne and The Shins. Tour the arboretum for free before the show. 300 Wakara Way, SLC, 801-585-0556, redbuttegarden.org
Twilight Concert Series
For an urban experience, stroll over to Pioneer Park (300 S. 300 West) Thursday nights for a high-energy music scene. Bands at Twilight (slcgov.com/arts) play to a younger, hipper audience with artists like Common and My Morning Jacket. Food, beer and hand-made crafts are available, and the park is surrounded with excellent restaurants for pre- and post-concert dining. Start the night with dinner at Tin Angel Cafe (365 W. 400 South, SLC, 801-328- 4155, thetinangel.com) or grab something from a food truck, like Chow Truck (chowtruck.com).
Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater
After the snow recedes, Deer Valley Resort's main slope blossoms as a fabulous outdoor concert scene with top artists and a lively crowd that blends summer tourists, Parkites and day-trippers from the valleys below. Concerts have included Joe Walsh and Earth, or chilled beef, artisan cheese, dessert and wine for a bit extra. 2250 Deer Valley Dr., Park City, 435-649-1000, deervalley.com
Gallivan Center
Right in the beating heart of downtown, you can find open-air music from country and bluegrass to hip-hop at what promoters like to call "Salt Lake's Living Room." If there isn't an evening concert scheduled, you'll usually find a movie, "lunch-bunch'' concerts or some sort of festival bubbling. 50 E. 200 South, SLC, 801-535-6110, thegallivancenter.com
Canyons and Snowbird Resorts
Canyons and Snowbird resorts offer laid-back outdoor concerts with nationally-known performers (Alejandro Escovedo isn't anything to sneeze at) that are also kid- and beer-friendly. The real draw: concerts are free. Canyons, Park City, 435-649-5400, canyonsresort.com; Snowbird, Little Cottonwood Canyon, 801-933-2222, snowbird.com

The opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics were still months away, but already Mitt Romney was thinking about the legacy they would leave behind.
On a crisp Saturday afternoon in November, the Salt Lake Organizing Committee president and CEO stood in the middle of the newly constructed Gateway Mall, flanked by the Davis High School marching band and a dancing water fountain designed in the shape of the Salt Lake Winter Games' snowflake logo. Nearby, a cascading stream of water trickled between two sets of concrete stairs.
The Olympic Legacy Plaza, Romney told a crowd of about 300 people, would stand as "a tangible memory" of this Olympics.
As part of that memory, the names of 28,000 Olympic workers and volunteers would be inscribed on the plaza's west wall.
But under Romney's orders, two names would be left out. The banishment of Tom Welch and Dave Johnson, the two men most responsible for bringing the Olympics to Salt Lake City, was, as it turns out, a rather ironic attempt to sanitize history. Because in the decade that followed, no one has done more to remind the world of the questionable ethical origins of the 2002 Olympics than Romney. Never mind that the scandal itself had little to do with Salt Lake City, never threatened the viability of the Games and was, in historical context, an Olympic-sized trifle.
Notes Robert Garff, former SLOC chairman, "I never thought there was a time when the Salt Lake Organizing Committee was in danger of failing in its duties."
Since the late 1920s, civic leaders in Utah had been trying to bring the Olympics to Salt Lake City. In spite of winter conditions that were legendary among ski racers and jumpers, Utah's provincial—even backwater—reputation always seemed to stand in the way.
But every four years the dreamers would start dreaming. And every decade or so, international interest would rise to the point that those dreams didn't seem so dreamy. Salt Lake won the U.S. Olympic Committee's blessing to bid on several occasions and volunteered to host the 1976 Games when Colorado voters abrogated in the face of soaring costs. Each time, the state's proposal was rejected by the International Olympic Committee.
But in 1992, under the leadership of Welch, a lawyer, and Johnson, a car salesman, Salt Lake City came closer to holding the torch than ever before—losing to Nagano, Japan, by just four votes for the right to host the 1998 Olympiad. More than a decade later, a provincial investigation would reveal that Nagano had spent millions of dollars on an "illegitimate and excessive level of hospitality" for IOC members. The report estimated Nagano's pot-sweetening expenditures at $24 million—or about $500,000 for each of the 46 votes it claimed.
But for Welch and Johnson, it didn't take an investigation to know why Utah had lost out. The duo resolved to be the most gracious—and generous—of hosts when Olympic officials returned. The gifts they bequeathed on committee members in the following years included all-expenses-paid ski trips, cash payments, Super Bowl tickets, college scholarships and even plastic surgery.
And on June 16, 1995, in Budapest, Hungary, the IOC voted overwhelmingly to send the games to Utah.

Sussex Technical High School Business, Finance, and Marketing seniors Devin Deloach and Jenna Stevens, BFM junior Tyler Butler, and BFM sophomore Emily Nichols won the inaugural Diamond Entrepreneurial Challenge April 18 at the University of Delaware, sponsored by the Horn Program of Entrepreneurship.
The team was required to write a five-page Business Concept that was to be submitted in February to advance to a preliminary round where they were to "pitch" their idea. The Business Concept that was pitched was Raven Eyes, the school photography store. They received $500 as a team by advancing to the final round.
Forty-two teams made the preliminary round that was held in each county on March 20. Twelve teams advanced to the final round. One team advancing was from Kenya, Africa, who eventually placed second in the competition and was awarded $5,500 for its placing.
By taking top honors in the Diamond Challenge, Sussex Tech BFM students won the top prize money of $7,500. An additional $1,500 in bonus prize money was awarded throughout the competition, bringing in a total of $9,000 in prize money. Deloach, Stevens, Butler, and Nichols each received $1,000 in scholarship money, totaling $4,000. Frank Makray, as Diamond Challenge advisor and BFM instructor, was awarded $500. The BFM technical area will also receive $4,500.

We were traveling with 6 people in the apartment and it was really more than enough beds available. Saube towels, bedding ect. were also ready when we arrived! The apartment was just like the photos out! Top was the central location right in the historic center of Prague; we were able to go on foot everywhere. A deduction of points there, because unfortunately only one bathroom is available (though you knew from the description before, but then turned out to be on site with 6 people, just in the morning, very difficult!). The apartment was advertised with parking, so we thought the parking was included in the price. Unfortunately, that was not so ... Although a car park (500m from the apartment) We were provided, but this cost another 20 € per night / day extra. That you should plan in advance! Otherwise, the apartment was great and for the central location a total of a really good price / performance ratio.
Wir waren mit 6 Personen in der Wohnung und es waren wirklich mehr als ausreichend Betten vorhanden. Saube Handtücher, Bettwäsche ect. waren ebenfalls schon bereit als wir ankamen! Die Wohnung war wie auf den Fotos echt toll! Top war die zentrale Lage direkt in der Altstadt von Prag; wir konnten überall zu Fuß hingehen. Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es, da leider nur ein Badezimmer vorhanden ist (wusste man zwar aus der Beschreibung vorher, aber gestaltete sich dann vor Ort mit 6 Personen; gerade morgens; sehr schwierig!). Die Wohnung war mit Parkplatz ausgeschrieben, daher dachten wir, der Parkplatz war im Preis inbegriffen. Leider war das nicht so... Uns wurde zwar ein Parkplatz (ca. 500m von der Wohnung entfernt) zur Verfügung gestellt, jedoch kostete dieser nochmal 20 € pro Nacht/Tag extra. Das sollte man vorher einplanen! Ansonsten war die Wohnung super und für die zentrale Lage ingesamt ein echt gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis.
Top location! Right in the center! Everything within walking distance! Very nice restaurant just below the apartment.
Cleanliness of the apartment was ok.
Very crooked floor apartment for 7 people it was optimal. ... More people not recommended. ...
Conclusion for a party weekend in Prague perfect!
Top Lage! Mitten im Zentrum! Alles zu Fuß erreichbar!sehr schöne Gaststätte direkt unter der Wohnung.
Sauberkeit der Wohnung war ok.
Sehr verwinkelte Dachgeschoss Wohnung für 7 Personen war es optimal. ...mehr Personen nicht empfehlenswert. ...
Fazit für ein Party Wochenende in Prag perfekt!
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)

White House Editing EPA Report Touting Greenhouse Gas Limits The Bush administration is pressuring the Environmental Protection Agency to rewrite a report that offers a roadmap and cost justification for using the Clean Air Act to limit carbon emissions, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The White House's Office of Management and Budget wants the report to say that controlling green house gases will require a whole new law, even though the Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that carbon dioxide is a pollutant subject to EPA regulation. The original draft of the report, which must pass OMB scrutiny before it can be published, also claimed that reducing carbon emissions will give the economy a $2 trillion boost. The report was due out June 23. The edited version could be released later this week, the Journal article said.
Meanwhile, the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming released documents showing that the White House refused to open an e-mail from the Environmental Protection Agency last December that concluded that greenhouse gases are pollutants. The e-mail was the EPA's response to a 2007 Supreme Court ruling requiring the agency to evaluate greenhouse gases' effects on health and the environment. The White House Office of Management and Budget left the message unopened, and ten days later the White House denied California's request to regulate auto tailpipe emissions. "This administration has shown its contempt for Congress, its contempt for the rule of law, and . . . its contempt for science," said Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA), the committee chairman.
Leading Climate Scientist Renews Call to Action James Hansen of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration told a House panel investigating global warming last week that the changes needed to avert catastrophic impacts of climate change have been blocked by special interests "who hold sway in Washington and other capitals." The climatologist, who directs the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, first called attention to man's contribution to global warming in 1988. Hansen, who will give a keynote address at the July 11 Integrity in Science conference in Washington, said that the lack of action to curtail greenhouse gas emissions constituted "high crimes against humanity and nature" and that the CEOs of coal and oil companies should face prosecution. "We have used up all slack in the schedule for actions needed to defuse the global warming time-bomb," Hansen said.
Undisclosed Industry Pay to Docs under Fire – I Stanford University is the latest target of a Senate investigation of conflicts of interest within the scientific research community. Lead by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), the investigation last week accused Stanford of failing to sufficiently monitor the corporate ties of Alan Schatzberg, the university's chair of the department of psychiatry. Schatzberg owned $6 million in stock of Corcept Therapeutics, maker of the abortion drug, miferpristone. He failed to disclose to the university the scale of his investment while overseeing a National Institute of Health-funded study of the drug. Because Schatzberg disclosed his relationship with Corcept Therapeutics at speeches and in research articles, he is not the target of the investigation. Rather, Grassley is focusing on Stanford's failure to adequately monitor Schatzberg and other faculty's conflicts of interest. Although Stanford's disclosure policy requires faculty to report stock valued at more than $100,000, it does not require the disclosure of the exact value of the stock. "Obviously, $6 million is a dramatically higher number than $100,000 and I am concerned that Stanford may not have been able to adequately monitor the degree of Dr. Schatzberg's conflicts of interest with its current disclosure policies," Sen. Grassley wrote in a letter to the university's president, John Hennessy.
Stanford is the latest in a string of universities to come under Grassley's scrutiny. According to Science magazine, the senator is investigating 30 individuals at 20 universities for breaking federal conflict-of-interest reporting rules. Current regulations require researchers using NIH funding to notify their institutions of income over $10,000 or more a year, or five percent ownership in a company that could be impacted by government-funded research. If researchers at institutions have failed to meet regulations, their institutions could face fines or suspensions of NIH funding, according to NIH officials.
Undisclosed Industry Pay to Docs under Fire – IIThe pharmaceutical industry routinely taps well-paid and highly respected doctors to act as sales people for their medications, according to an investigation published in the British Medical Journal last week. The drug industry consciously seeks out "key opinion leaders" (KOLs) among academic physicians to promote sales of individual products with company-dictated presentations to other physicians, according to Ray Moynihan, an Australian journalist and visiting editor of BMJ. "Key opinion leaders were salespeople for us, and we would routinely measure the return on our investment, by tracking prescriptions before and after their presentations," said Kimberly Elliott, a drug sales representative for nearly 20 years in the United States who has since left the industry. "If that speaker didn't make the impact the company was looking for, then you wouldn't invite them back." A typical KOL could earn as much as $25,000 a year, the article said.
Survey Shows Americans Support Doctor Disclosure Most Americans support disclosure of physicians' conflicts of interests, a new survey from the Prescription Project revealed. Sixty-four percent of those surveyed said that is important to know their physician's financial ties to pharmaceutical companies and 68 percent added they would support laws requiring drug companies to disclose gifts to doctors. Additionally, 52 percent believe that accepting gifts from industry influences doctors' prescribing decisions. The Prescription Project is a Boston-based organization working to limit pharmaceutical marketing to physicians. "Our survey clearly shows that national legislation like the Physician Payments Sunshine Act (sponsored by Sens. Charles Grassley, R-IA, and Herbert Kohl, D-WI) would be embraced as a way to help consumers understand and assess the impact of those interactions," said Robert Restuccia, executive director of The Prescription Project. The proposed law requires drug and medical device manufactures to disclose all financial dealings with doctors, including gifts, honoraria, travel expenses, educational grants, and funding for clinical trials greater than $500.
Bill Broadens Advisory Committee Disclosure beyond FDA The House last week passed a bill requiring all federal agencies to publicly post any conflict of interest waivers for scientists sitting on federal advisory committees at least two weeks before the advisory committee meets. The legislation also requires anyone asked to serve as a constituency representative on a committee, such as a business or consumer representative, to disclose personal conflicts of interest to the committee. H.R. 5687, entitled the Federal Advisory Committee Act Amendments of 2008 and sponsored by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), also would prevent political litmus tests for anyone sitting on a committee. A spokeswoman for Rep. Waxman said that the White House objects to the measure and the Senate is unlikely to consider the bill this year.
NCI Science Advisers Put Amgen-J&J Cash on Hold The National Cancer Institute's scientific advisory board last week shelved accepting $5 million from manufacturers of anti-anemia drugs that would have been used to study the drugs' tumor promotion mechanisms through National Institutes of Health R01 grants, the Cancer Letter (subscription required) reported Friday. The Food and Drug Administration earlier this year slapped black box warnings on Amgen's Epogen and Aranesp and Johnson & Johnson's Procrit, which are used to increase energy in cancer patients, because they also speed up mortality at higher doses. Taking money earmarked for specific projects would undermine the peer-review process that usually determines priorities for NIH funding. "It is a huge ethical no-no to try and cheapen the current of the R01s," said Arthur Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania Center for Bioethics. NCI Director John Niederhuber told the committee that NCI was "under pressure from Congress to address this issue." Amgen spent $22.7 million on lobbying last year, according to the Center for Public Integrity, more than any other pharmaceutical company.
Odds and EndsThe Department of Veterans Affairs will send letters to the more 30,000 veterans taking Chantix, Pfizer's smoking cessation medication, warning them about the drug's side effects, which include heart irregularities, seizures, dizziness, depression, and suicide. The letter was announced a week after an ABC News report revealed that the VA failed to warn vets with post traumatic stress disorder about of the drug's side effects before they took part in a Chantix study. . . . An Egyptian-born nuclear physicist who criticized the Iraq war filed suit last week after losing his security clearance and job at a government-financed laboratory. . . . The Supreme Court announced last week that it will hear a Navy appeal of a judge's order requiring Navy ships to turn down their sonar whenever marine mammals are within 1.25 miles. The appeals court ruled earlier that the Navy's high-powered sonar injures and kills up to 17,000 marine mammals annually, including whales.
Cheers and Jeers
Cheer to Arlene Weintraub and John Cady of BusinessWeek for exposing the failure of researchers and guidelines writers to fully disclose financial ties to Pfizer, maker of the anti-smoking drug, Chantix. The drug has come under attack for its serious side effects.
The next edition of Integrity in Science Watch will be dated July 21, 2008. Hope to see you at the Rejuvenating Public Sector Science conference on July 11th!

Date: January 02 2013
Tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Hong Kong calling for the city's embattled leader to quit and demanding greater democracy 15 years after it returned to Chinese rule.
Organisers of two New Year's Day processions against Beijing-backed chief executive Leung Chun-ying claimed a combined turnout of 140,000, while the police put the figure at 28,500.
Since taking office in July Mr Leung's popularity ratings have tumbled and he has faced a no-confidence vote in the legislature amid a row over illegal structures at his luxury home – a politically sensitive issue in the city.
''We have to keep voicing our concerns even though the situation is getting worse,'' university student Billy Li, 27, said as the demonstrators marched through the city to the government's harbourfront headquarters.
Holding up posters of Mr Leung as a vampire and a wolf, the protesters – some waving flags from the British colonial era – chanted ''give us universal suffrage immediately'' and ''step down, Leung Chun-ying''.
Traffic at a main road in central Hong Kong was brought to a halt at one point as hundreds of defiant protesters from the radical People Power party staged a sit-in.
Television news footage showed a few protesters including maverick lawmaker ''Long Hair'' Leung Kwok-hung being taken away by police.
Pro-government groups who staged separate and smaller rallies claimed a total of 62,500 people. Police put the figure at 8560.
Mr Leung has acknowledged and apologised for the structures at his home, which were built without planning permission. He became chief executive after his rival for the post, Henry Tang, was brought down by a row over illegal structures at his own home.
Demonstrators have used the scandal to press for universal suffrage in choosing the leader of Hong Kong.
The territory was returned to Beijing in 1997 but has a semi-autonomous status, with guarantees of civil liberties such as the right to protest which are not found in mainland China.
Mr Leung was elected in March by a 1200-strong committee dominated by pro-Beijing elites, amid rising anger among the city's 7 million inhabitants over what many perceive to be Beijing meddling in local affairs.
Beijing has said the city's chief executive could be directly elected in 2017 at the earliest, with the legislature following by 2020.

Get an alert when we add new styles of Castelli! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Castelli has a rich history dating back multiple decades in the cycling community. In the 1940s, Armando Castelli, an Italian tailor, designed clothes for Gino Bartali, a famed cyclist. Designing clothes for Gino Bartali proved to be the catalyst for Armando Castelli's career. As a result of designing for a famous cyclist, one of Bartali's cycling rivals, Fausto Coppi, asked Armando Castelli to design a jersey that would make him faster in competitions. Castelli agreed and produced the first-ever silk cycling jersey.
Ever since, Castelli has become a true pioneer within cycling clothing production. Armando Castelli constantly thought about how he could improve his products which led to adding special details such as collars, pockets, and zippers. In 1977, Castelli made another innovation: the first Lycra cycling short. With a constantly evolving company, Castelli continues to create superior cycling clothing that boasts the latest technology.

A telescope, a dream, and love link mother, daughter, and granddaughter in a cross-generational tale that takes us from the early 1980s to a distant planet.
Pollux (né Paul Morris) was born in 1979 in the English town of Beverley, in what was the former East Riding of Yorkshire. He and his family moved to the United States a year later, and Pollux attended UCLA, studying medieval history and Latin and attended Brown University for grad school, studying medieval history. As a child, Pollux constantly drew and created his own comics, and while at grad school, he began drawing "Nigel and Beatrice" for The Brown Daily Herald. He has been creating comics ever since, creating the web comic Arnjuice (www.arnjuice.com) and he drew the daily comic "The Wavy Rule" for Emdashes.com. All of his graphic novels and novelettes are set in the fictional college town of San Tesifonte, California, which lies somewhere between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. It is the location for UCST and is home to various museums, parks, beaches, Redwoods Restaurant (home to the famous Sequoia Steak Sandwich) and its pier.

In this article, we will see how to add values of multiple ASP.NET Checkboxes using jQuery. This example could be useful in scenarios where users are asked to select services they would like to avail and each service has a rate displayed – like in a webhosting service. Using jQuery, the total service cost should be automatically calculated, as the services are selected.
Note: If you are using jQuery with ASP.NET Controls, check out my EBook called 51 Recipes with jQuery and ASP.NET Controls.
Create an ASP.NET Website. Add the following markup
The layout should look similar to the following:
Now add a reference to the latest jQuery script file and write the following code:
Let us see what we just did:
When a checkbox is clicked, a variable 'checked' keeps track of the checked checkboxes.
We then iterate the 'checked' collection using $().each() and add the text of the checkbox to a variable 'total'.
Observe how we are accessing the value of a checkbox using $(this).next().text());
This is because the checkbox gets rendered like this:
To access the value, which is inside the label, we use next() which finds the very next sibling of each checkbox, which in our case is the label control. The parseFloat( ) parses strings into numbers.
The result is displayed in a paragraph (tot) using the toFixed() method, which rounds the result to the specified number of decimal places, in our case 2.
$('#tot').text("Your Total Amount Is: " + total.toFixed(2));
The output is shown here:

Reviews for Caramel Truffles
"I've been making these every Christmas for several years and everyone loves them. I just read some of the reviews and someone used PAM on the plastic wrap. What a great idea because that caramel is hard to get off the plastic. Thank you for a great recipe!"
"Ooops I see now I missread it it is a separate bowl"
"They are wonderful!!"
"One of my Christmas staples, because they're just so basic that everybody wants one. I also love that it doesn't make a HUGE amount, like most truffle recipes. I do always end up with little rock hard pieces of caramel after refrigerating, but they're pretty easy to pick out when you're rolling. I'm thinking about trying the Caramel Bits next year to get rid of that problem."
"Wow! Yummy! I used bernard callebaut milk chocolate for the coating as well as the centers and dusted them with Himalayan pink salt! Tastes just as good if not better than professional chocolates! Super easy to make too! I melted everything stovetop instead of the microwave. Thanks for sharing!"
