The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Missouri and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

looked everywhere, cant seem to find out the answer...
i just gutted my interior on my zx3. im replacin everything with the svt interior, got the carpet in and just realize that the lower rear seats have four bolts that hold them in and the zx3 has two because the zx3 seat is all one seat. not two pieces lke the svt. what do i have to do to get the seats to mount up, i can post pics if you cant understand what i mean
I'm actually about to do the swap as well, this would help alot if I knew what to do before I start gutting.
I have done this swap. Pesonally, I just never bolted in the two center brackets, and it works fine. If you really want them to be bolted in, you could use wither some large self tapping screws (Be sure to use some rubber washers) or drill the holes, then tack weld nuts into place from under the car on the back side then use a regular bolt to secure them in.
DO NOT do the above without first checking whats behind where your going to drill. there's all sorts of lines and stuff back there, make sure the area is clear. :)
thats wierd my zx3 had all the holes needed for the svt seats to bolt up with no problem. im just assuming since both of your cars are both pre SVT you dont have the proper holes already drilled. but i agree with RSVT170 just dont bolt them up
So we should just bolt them in and forget about the centers or drill some in but first check where we're drilling.
Sounds about right..not that I've ever owned an SVT or plan on doing this sort of gutting.. but it makes sense... :)
I did the SVT interior swap on my ZX3 (2001) and never bothered with figuring out the center two bolts. Seats hold fine without them (going on 3 years with this interior)
thanks guys, i just bolted them up i culd wait to get them in before i heard anyones post lol, i had to put i small piece of carpet foam under the driveside rear seat in order for in to sit right because i didnt bolt the otherside up. i am probably goin to selftap them tomorrow
Just be real careful the gas tank is plastic and right under the rear passenger seat. A self tapping screw could easily go right into the tank.

Date of Stay: October, 2013
We have camped at Faria several times over the last four years. Last week, I discovered Faria's dirty little secret. Since there are no reservations, everything is on a "first come, first served" basis. At least that is what is published on the Web and at the campground. In reality, local people place a tent at an unoccupied site and use the tent as a "place holder" for when the owner returns with his RV. Such practice is perfectly correct. I saw nine sites occupied by "tent place holders" during my stay at Faria. One person even placed a tent on my RV site without even asking me. Such practice allow campers to place a tent at a site on say Wednesday, presumably pay the daily fee of $48 while the tent holds their site. Then the RV family arrives on Friday and they remove their tent and park their RV. The problem is that many families pass through Faria and when they see the tent (but no campers are actually occupying the site) yet and are turned away because of the "tent placeholder". Such behavior is tolerated and encouraged by the Parks Department of Ventura and the Board of Supervisors. Faria is a great campground, but using "a tent as a placeholder" for several days is just wrong.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
We have stayed at Jalama several times over the last five years. Great ocean view (all sites). We love this place. And NO cell service to distract you from enjoying the campground. They have pay phones!

He is effectively voting for Obama.
Effectively, you are voting for Obama.
All votes have consequences other than the intended. It's never JUST a vote for someone. Politics is always a defensive game as well as an offensive one.The votes for Ross Perot in 1992, were way more than well, votes for Ross Perot. They were votes that helped put Bill Clinton into office. For better or worse, my vote had way more consequences than I intended.
As I said all votes have consequences other than intented. It is always a defensive gave of politics not just an offensive my vote for. As I said before, If God wants Ron Paul elected, he will be elected, right? And I thank God for Bush in not waiting until we were attacked again to verify the enemies intent. He did the right thing. If Ron Paul would not so protect us in the face of similar threat, I pray he is NOT elected. Course I don't think we will need to pray all that hard in that regard. Pandora's box of history can never be repacked. We deal with the present that we have not what we wished we had.

I just clinched today in my 8 team $250 per team league, so I'm pretty stoked.
in 3rd place right now in a points league. If I could predict Jammal Charles Id be higher
I'm in 1st. Had a 2 game lead but Cruz has let me down the past few weeks
7-4 2nd place... was in first but because my fantasy team is so Giants-heavy, I was starting a lot of backups and FA pickups last week... Also Larry Fitzgerald scoring 1.21 points in my league didn't help matters either...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Pretty good for the most part. 1,2 and 3 in my 12 teamers and 5th in my 16 teamer. Coming last in another league, though. Gutted by injuries and the aforementioned Larry Fitzgerald.

USF-FSU Rivalry Heats Back Up Saturday in Tampa
By USF

By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - Florida State's visit to Tampa comes at a great time for the No. 45 USF women's tennis team.
The Bulls want to start rising in the national rankings and have a chance to move up if they can get past the No. 29 Seminoles on Saturday at the USF Varsity Courts. Action begins at 11 a.m. and admission is free.
"It's a tough match that we're excited about. It's important for rankings and it's a rivalry," USF head coach Agustin Moreno said.
USF has confidence on its side after taking the past three matches in the series with the Seminoles. The Bulls' streak includes two victories in Tallahassee after Moreno's group rallied to a 4-3 win last year. USF erased a 3-1 deficit with singles victories by Fanny Fracassi and Lucie Rey before top player Katie Vasenina earned the decisive point with a 6-1, 6-1 win in the last match of the day.
Moreno expects another tough battle Saturday and said the Bulls are well prepared for it.
"They know it's a very important match," he said. "We've talked about it, got ready for it and we're going to throw everything we have against them."

Dear gentlemen
I have a dangerous invading of bee wolfs to my apiary .
Here is the link of this type of beewolfs
I live in Egypt .
Any advice will be highly appreciated
Dear gentlemen
I have a dangerous invading of bee wolfs to my apiary .

Any advice will be highly appreciated
Not much you can do about these.
Although they are a solitary wasp and live a solitary lifestyle, their nests are in groups, or clusters. So if you could find where they are it may be possible to spray the area with an insecticide which would kill the mothers as they go in and out of their tunnels.
But it's likely there will be many scattered groups of them within range of your hives, so probably you will just have to live with them.
Another possibility would be to move all your hives a few miles away for one year. If there are no other bees in the area the bee wolfs would die out and you could put your bees back in a year.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
I had a friend that studied these guys a while back... he said that his best method for trapping them was a "horse fly trap" baited with male beewolfs as well as a honey bee qmp (queen pheromone)... the trap is simple enough to make, just four legs, a canvas cone (think of a funnel upside down) cover over the top, and a large clear jar at the very top of the canvas cone... the qmp and any captured male beewolfs are placed in the jar... natural instinct draws them to try to fly up to the light instead of back down and out, and the heat will kill the quickly... from my understanding, the males release pheromones to attract females twice per year, the females are the ones that live off of bees, and they are also attracted to the qmp of the honey bee as they are actively seeking colonies to prey on from above...
Hope this helps.
I live in climate similar to yours (south Israel)
and suffering from wasps from May to September.
Three days of continuous treetment with poison in a meat bait will finish these
ugly creatures or decrease it to minimum.
The bait can be piece of bloody meat, tuna can or smashed dry cat food
with poison like "Frontline Plus" that his main purpose is killing dogs & cats fleas and works just great with wasps.
Be carfull, because this material can kill other animals that eat it
so you have to be around and collect it in the end of the day
to a close plastic bag and throw it to a close garbage can.
Good Luck,

During the past half century the United States has repeatedly become involved in nations which are in turmoil and, all too often, division within the society has resulted in a local thug and gangster gaining power. Hamid Karzai has never displayed any qualities of leading Afghanistan other than being able to ensure that his friends and family walk away with millions. After being compelled on more than one occasion to halt his graft by American military leaders, Karzai is now feeling the onset of new power. No more Americans preventing him from making gobs of money by handing out gobs of money to fellow grafters. He is currently furious that General James Mattis who placed Kam Air, on the blacklist of companies that have been engaged in drug trafficking.
Hey, didn't this Mattis guy know those who head the airline are friends of Karzai? Time after time Karzai has intervened to protect his friends in crime. Heck the Bank of Kabul lost a few hundred million, anyone can lose a few bucks. Karzai is now happy, the Americans will soon depart and he can openly run this land as his personal fiefdom. Welcome to Karzai's Corruptistan.

Security services
The objective of the Copernicus Security Services is to support the related European Union policies in the following priority areas:
Border surveillance – with the main aim of contributing to the implementation of EUROSUR, the European Border Surveillance System, by supporting the mapping and monitoring of border areas.
Support to EU External Action – through the detection and monitoring of security threats. The service can also contribute to improving crisis prevention, preparedness and response capacities.
- Maritime surveillance – with the objective of ensuring the safe use of the sea and securing Europe's maritime borders. The corresponding challenges mainly relate to safety of navigation, marine pollution, law enforcement, and overall security.
The service builds on a series of projects developed within the Framework Programmes 6 and 7 (FP6/FP7), funded by the EC and on ESA's GMES Service Element (GSE) projects such as the MARitime Security Service, MARISS. In the field of maritime security, an Integrated Maritime Data Environment framework is being developed by the European Maritime Safety Agency, EMSA.
The EU-funded G-MOSAIC project in 2009–2011 was responsible for the development of the pre-operational GMES security service. It provides the EU with intelligence data that can be applied to early warning and crisis prevention, crisis management and rapid intervention in hot spots around the world for issues such as weapons proliferation, fight for natural resources and illegal activities.
The service has since been taken over by different projects within the EU FP7 that intend to contribute to the transition of security applications from pre-operational to Copernicus operational mode:
- SAGRES (Service Activations for Growing Eurosur Success), intended to implement and test the 'high time critical', intelligence-driven maritime surveillance component of EUROSUR, along the concept of operation for Copernicus support to EUROSUR.
- LOBOS (Low time critical Border Surveillance), intended to bridge the gap between the research in Earth observation and the operational set up envisaged for Copernicus support to EUROSUR. The project will develop five 'low time critical' pre-operational services in the areas of port monitoring, coastal monitoring, reference mapping and updates, and ambient-change detection.
- G-NEXT (GMES pre-operational security services for supporting EU external actions) will supply information and intelligence data in support of the European External Action Service (EEAS), including mapping and geo-information products ready for deployment in emergency and crisis situations, and will provide a set of services suitable to be integrated in the users working environment in an effective and reliable way.
- G-SEXTANT (Service Provision of Geospatial Intelligence in EU External Actions support), aim at bringing to an operational level an additional portfolio of Earth observation products and services to support the geo-spatial information needs of EU External Action users and stakeholders.
Currently, the Copernicus services and projects all base their activities on the provision of satellite imagery from contributing missions, made available through the Copernicus Space Component Data Access system operated by ESA since 2008.
Both radar and optical imaging, from high to very high resolution contributing missions are used to support security applications. The Sentinels will soon start contributing to Copernicus. In particular, Sentinel-1, with its day-and-night, all-weather radar capabilities will be one of the main data sources for maritime surveillance services, while Sentinel-2 will support the generation of frequently-updated background reference maps.

Storing Tea
Storing Tea
Tea easily absorbs moisture and scents, so it's imperative that tea is stored in an airtight container, away from strong-smelling items. For instance, avoid storing tea in the spice cabinet. Because light can also impair the quality of tea, storage containers should be opaque (unless stored away from light).
When stored properly, Arbor Teas tea will stay fresh for up to one year after you receive it. Beyond one year your tea will begin to lose flavor. If left in unopened Arbor Teas packaging, your tea will also remain fresh for up to one year. After you open your Arbor Teas bag and transfer its contents to a storage container, don't forget to compost your bag!
Wonder how our backyard compostable packaging works with storage canisters? We've created a step by step by step guide on How to Use Our Packaging.

Drone Hunting
According to Obama, the US government doesn't spy on Americans with aerial drones or any other technology. A little town in Colorado aren't believing much of Obama's drone talk so they came up with drone hunting. Drone hunting is a half-serious symbolic protest against what a lot of people see as an increasingly sinister American surveillance state. The license only costs $25 and at the very least might stir up some much needed revenue. This small town has caused a lot of commotion that has spread all the way to Washington.

Greg Norman admits he wanted to get Thursday's titillating Presidents Cup match-up between Adam Scott and Tiger Woods out of the way in case they meet in a potentially decisive singles match on Sunday.
International team captain Norman and USA counterpart Fred Couples gave golf watchers worldwide the clash they wanted when they pitted the pair against each other in the opening day foursomes at Royal Melbourne.
It's a prospect much discussed since Scott's caddie Steve Williams referred to Woods, the former boss who sacked him, as a "black arsehole" at a caddies' function in China 11 days ago.
While it looks blatantly contrived, both Norman and Couples claimed the matching of Scott and partner KJ Choi against Americans Woods and Steve Stricker was pure coincidence when they produced it on Wednesday.
Norman said he talked about it only with his assistants Frank Nobilo and Tim Clark, but it seems unlikely his wish to play a Scott-Woods match early in the tournament could have been achieved without Couples' co-operation.
"We (he, Nobilo and Clark) said if we had to defuse anything and just get this thing over and done with, wouldn't you rather have it sooner rather than later?" Norman said.
"Because I personally wouldn't have wanted to be sitting down at the singles and everybody is playing a really tight match and it comes down to the last group or the second last group and all the pressure is coming on because it's the first time the two met."
A further suggestion of premeditation came during the draw process in which the respective captains took turns to pit one pair against the other's.
They could have placed either Scott or Woods into any of the six matches but both left them until the last one.
"It needed to be done," Norman said.
"I think it's great for the tournament."
"It is not premeditated ... I never had a conversation with Freddie about it."
Couples agreed.
"We did not plan anything but I think it worked out awesome for everybody involved to have Tiger and Adam play," Couples said.
"They are still very good friends and I think it's an exciting match."
The group will make for an interesting study in body language on Thursday.
Williams apologised for his comment and met with Woods last week, with Woods saying he was hurt but didn't believe Williams was a racist and he would put the issue behind him.
Whether he was ready to forgive Williams yet wasn't clear.
Both Woods and Scott have insisted they'd be unconcerned if matched against each other.
Scott's International teammate and countryman Jason Day welcomed it, admitting it would add to the atmosphere.
"It is one of the matches everyone wanted to see, obviously with what has gone on in the past," Day said.
"It's going to be a very tough competition tomorrow between those guys and I'm really looking forward to see how that pans out."
The Americans have had the better of the Internationals in the alternate shot foursomes format previously, leaving Norman with the vital task of shaping his 12-man team of Australians, Koreans, Japanese and South Africans into effective pairs.
Norman said his selection of his most experienced player Ernie Els and 20-year-old Ryo Ishikawa in the first match had been a deliberate ploy to help cope with the Japanese player's late arrival in Melbourne.
Els has won at Royal Melbourne where he has a round of 60 to his credit, which Norman said made him an ideal companion on the course for Ishikawa who only landed in Melbourne late on Tuesday.
"Having Ernie tell him where to position the ball on the fairway, or where Ernie wants him to play his second shot ... it made it a natural pairing," he said.
They will play Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson in the tournament's opening match.
In other pairings, the all-Australian duo Aaron Baddeley and Jason Day will take on Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar, sand-belt specialist Robert Allenby will partner South African Retief Goosen against fellow veterans Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk, both of whom also played in the 1998 the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne.
The fifth Australian member of the International team, Geoff Ogilvy, will play with Masters champion Charl Schwartzel against Bill Haas and Nick Watney and South Koreans KT Kim and YE Yang are paired against Hunter Mahan and David Toms.

I see many complaints about this voucher. I got one as well. Did anyone call the number on the voucher as instructed or is the complaint that the voucher looks like a real check?
Has anyone who has filed a complaint sent in the 4.95 registration fee as directed after hearing the sales pitch?
Has anyone that has filed a complaint mailed in the $50 check to claim the travel voucher?
Has anyone that has filed a complaint complied with these two steps and not received the airline vouchers for 2?
I read many complaints, but I do not see the proof of any wrongdoing? Can someone that has actually followed the directions tell me straight up if this is legit or not.

Saturday showed us more of the same momentum we've been building starting with the dominating performance versus Ole Miss. Since the Florida victory the Dawgs have been displaying balanced offensive efficiency seemingly at will versus our opponents. Granted, they haven't been the toughest, however it's a great deal better than having those dreaded letdowns and lapses a la the Kentucky game.
The Tech game is always awkward, because their offensive style leads to some pretty skewed stats in areas like time of possession, plays, first downs, etc. Tech controlled the ball for nearly two thirds of the game, and actually was able to move the ball pretty well. Just like the Georgia Southern game, these offenses are going to generate some yardage, but once again the Dawgs defense did a great job keeping the Jackets out of the endzone. Their only touchdown came on an ugly defensive series late in the game against our second string defense (who didn't seem to practice much option over the last two weeks).
Alec Ogeltree decided at halftime that he was tired of form tackling, and he would rather start putting Georgia Tech offensive players into the ground like flagpoles. This was kind of the theme for the day. In an early afternoon game when the Dawgs could be looking ahead, it was refreshing to see them come out hitting hard. Even Malcolm Mitchell on his opening kick return decided to knock a UGA assistant out of his shoes. Alec's performance was certainly the most noteworthy on a disciplined day for the defense with his 15 tackles and earth shattering piledriving hits.
Bacarri Rambo also had a nice day creating turnovers with a pick (maybe he should be our deep threat receiver) and the nice fumble / strip return. He even forced a fumble that was recovered by the Jackets.
The entire linebacking corp had a nice day. There were certainly a few missed tackles where we were going for the bit hit, but the gang tackling all in all was pretty good.
Damian Swann after a few nice games struggled a little bit out there on the island in pass defense.
On offense it was another balanced day of attack. 2 touchdowns a piece for Murray, Gurley, and Marshall. Sometimes I still can't believe how much these freshman backs have come in and developed so quickly.
Great to see Rhett McGowan get in on the action with a touchdown.
The tight ends had a nice day, aside from Jay Rome's penalty. Lynch showed his purpose as a possession receiver over the middle, and Rome got in the endzone with a touchdown in the second half.
Marshall Morgan made all of his extra points once again, which is a good sign.
The Dawgs won turnover margin, and didn't cough the ball up themselves which is necessary to keep Tech out of the game. They also scored very quickly, and provided a dominating performance in pretty much three quarters.
The stadium was probably only full for about 15 minutes in the second quarter. It was a tough day to get there on time given the early start and the influx of traffic headed north on 316. Couple this with all the students being home for Thanksgiving. I expected a light crowd, so it was actually nice to see the stadium at full capacity at one point.
Great day for the Dawgs, continuing Richt's domination of Tech. I would be so mad if I was forced to watch that offense for my team. Step one of the journey has been taken care of and it's now time to move on to the next, the Georgia Dome, which is our ultimate goal every year.

Let Katrina Be a Warning
It is a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions for America. But the irony and the tragedy of the killer storm called Katrina is that the hurricane's devastating effects were entirely predictable -- and largely preventable.
Engineers have known for years that New Orleans levees couldn't withstand anything above a Category 3 hurricane. Ecologists had long warned that the loss of protective barrier islands and coastal wetlands made everything along the Gulf Coast, from refineries to vacation homes, far more vulnerable to major storms.
Scientists have been learning that, for whatever reasons, hurricanes have become more destructive over the past 30 years. And with the world's oil-producing and gasoline-refining capabilities strained, it has been clear that storm-related damage to the highly concentrated Gulf Coast energy industry could be hugely disruptive to the nation's oil, gasoline, and natural gas supplies.
Yet not only have these warnings gone largely unheeded but for years government policies have been putting the country at a greater risk of both natural disasters and energy shocks. Along the Gulf, "we've had a tremendously irresponsible policy, destroying protective natural features while encouraging risky and precarious development," says Frederick Krimgold, director of Virginia Tech's disaster risk reduction program. And although Congress passed an energy bill in August, it does almost nothing to solve the problems exposed by Katrina.
The major lesson policymakers should draw from the catastrophe is just how vulnerable the U.S. is becoming to natural disasters and energy disruptions. In fact, some experts say, Americans have been mistakenly lulled into thinking terrorism is the most pressing threat -- and they argue that the relentless focus on staving off suicide bombers has left crucial gaps elsewhere.
Case in point: After the huge 1993 Mississippi River flood, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) began buying up floodplain property, preventing people from rebuilding and being swept away again. But that effort, and a larger FEMA mitigation program, no longer exists.
And just this summer, the proposed funding for the New Orleans Army Corps of Engineers district was cut by $71 million for fiscal 2006. Shelved, among other items, was a study to determine ways to protect the region from a Category 5 hurricane.
Americans are already paying the price for these policy lapses in the form of higher energy costs. And inevitably, natural disasters will hit other parts of the nation, in part just because of more development. New York and Washington certainly aren't immune, warns John N. McHenry, chief scientist at Baron Advanced Meteorological Systems, a forecasting outfit in Raleigh, N.C. Says McHenry: "It would not take much to flood all of Manhattan."
Everyone with an agenda is pushing his pet ideas as a solution. House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton (R-Tex.) thinks that our energy woes can be solved with more production. "We could be drilling in Alaska right now," he says.
On the other side of the political spectrum, activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. blames the Bush Administration for failing to push tough fuel economy standards and curbs on global warming. Says Kennedy: "Katrina is giving our nation a glimpse of the climate chaos we are bequeathing our children."
Partisan fulminations aside, there are policy lessons from Katrina on both the energy and the natural resource management fronts. Here's what could be done:
Restore natural buffer zones
The combination of the Mississippi River levees and oil and gas development has had a devastating effect on the whole Gulf Coast. The levees prevent sediment from reaching the delta. Meanwhile, oil and gas companies have dug channels through the wetlands and sucked oil from underneath, causing the land to sink, saltwater to intrude -- and thousands of acres to submerge.
Although reclamation measures were already under way to restore Gulf marshlands, they were too little too late. "I'm hoping that one lesson to come out of this is that talk about rolling back protections for wetlands [all across the country] will end," says Yale University ecologist David K. Skelly.
Limit development in the most vulnerable areas
Experts say it's crazy to keep building casinos and vacation homes on coastal dunes, barrier islands, and other vulnerable spots. One solution is to stop offering federal insurance for such projects. Another is to put the land off limits to development. During the Clinton Administration, FEMA "was working hard" to slow such development, says Virginia Tech's Krimgold. But such efforts ended after FEMA became part of the Homeland Security Dept.
Aiming for a better balance of risk and development means tough decisions. A city like New Orleans, lying in a vast bowl below sea level and protected by fragile levees in a hurricane belt, probably should never have been built. But once it was there, more effort should have been put into strengthening the levees and the city's pumping system. "We knew this was a danger, and it was clearly brought to our attention," says Senator Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who is working on a bill to improve emergency communications during disasters.
Get serious about climate change
"It is increasingly clear that global warming makes [hurricanes] more severe and destructive," asserts former Energy Dept. official Joseph Romm. "Katrina is the shape of things to come." Plus, action to combat climate change, such as increased development of renewable sources, has the additional beneficial effect of reducing the nation's vulnerability to energy shocks.
Make a Presidential appeal
In the short term, experts suggest, President Bush could minimize the impact on gasoline prices simply by asking Americans to be more aware and careful -- by inflating tires, tuning up cars, and driving more slowly. The Environmental Protection Agency also relaxed clean fuel standards to reduce the number of gasoline formulations refineries need to make and to open the door to more imports. Over the medium term, moving to a single national standard for gasoline would reduce pressure on stressed refineries.
Increase energy diversity
Over the longer term, the answer is greater diversity -- of sources, geographic locations, types of energy -- and greater use of energy-efficiency measures. Combined, these steps would make the economy more immune to energy shocks.
A number of states, for instance, have already required that a certain percentage of electricity be generated from renewable sources. A national standard would help even more to reduce the impact of shortages or price spikes in natural gas.
Boost energy efficiency
Improving the fuel economy of the cars and trucks Americans drive to 40 mpg would save 6 million barrels of oil a day, many times more than is being lost because of Katrina. Indeed, all these policies are simple, if not easy, and most have been suggested for years. In the end, Katrina could be a wake-up call for pols to finally stop posturing and get serious about the nation's energy vulnerabilities. If they don't, cataclysms like Katrina could happen again.

Buses to go through tunnel
Council 'extremely disappointed' over another 62 lost parking spaces
The pedestrianisation of Bisazza Street, on which an agreement was reached yesterday, will entail adding more vehicles and drivers to the new bus route while robbing Sliema of another 62 parking spaces.
Transport Malta and Arriva, the public transport operator, yesterday agreed that buses will be re-routed through Qui-Si-Sana and the Tigné tunnel instead of passing through Bisazza Street, which has now become officially closed to traffic. But Arriva will need to buy three more buses and employ another 10 drivers, and the road between the tunnel and the Ferries will have a new bus lane to compensate for the extra journey time, removing all available parking spaces on the seaward side.
Discussions on the amount of compensation the government has to pay Arriva for breach of contract and for changing the pre-agreed routes have been postponed and will start after the new bus service begins on July 3.
The situation which led to these decisions being taken had arisen after lack of coordination between the resources and transport ministries over whether buses should be allowed to pass through Bisazza Street.
Although satisfied that buses will not be passing through the newly pedestrianised street, the Sliema local council said it was "extremely disappointed" to see another 62 parking spaces lost, over and above the 40 lost in Bisazza Street and the 90 on the Qui-Si-Sana side.
Sliema Deputy Mayor Cyrus Engerer said when contactedthat removing more parking spaces from Sliema was "unacceptable", "ridiculous" and "disappointing". He also said he was disappointed that the council had not been consulted on the matter.
The decision to pedestrianise the popular shopping thoroughfare was taken on May 19, long after Arriva drew up the new bus routes, which included Bisazza Street. Journey and operating times had been set but these too will have to change.
The agreement reached between the operator and Transport Malta is on a number of temporary and permanent measures which will be taken "to implement as quickly as possible the government's decision not to allow buses to drive through Bisazza Street".
In a long statement, the Transport Ministry said the significance of the re-routing "should not be underestimated".
It said that in a day, buses operating on the eight affected routes will have to drive an extra 686 kilometres, equivalent to the distance between Malta and Rome and an extra 16,000 kilometres in a month. This would obviously have an impact on the operation times of each route and each bus service.
In replies to questions sent by The Times, the Transport Ministry defended the decision to remove parking places, saying that although the lost spaces will not be replaced, people can use the Midi car park or the five-minute express service to the new park-and-ride facility in Pembroke "which will add parking capacity by far more than the present reductions".
Arriva also agreed to temporarily put into service an additional 17 non-air conditioned buses of the 28 Euro V low-floor buses that form part of the present system but have yet to be refurbished and transferred to Arriva by the end of the year. These buses will also lack the bi-lingual signage on the rest of the fleet as per the contractual obligations.
In the meantime, Arriva has agreed to purchase an extra three buses to add to its fleet and recruit an additional 10 bus drivers as additional resources needed to operate the Sliema.
The ministry said Transport Malta and Arriva agreed on "rapid coordination" to solve problems that arise because of this change.
It also warned that passengers may initially experience delays in the service from advertised schedules even in routes unconnected with Sliema or Bisazza Street.

Rev Tour: Road to Pro
We got a chance to sit down with 17-year-old Atlanta transplant who has gained Steamboat local status, Penn Lukens, to get an idea of what it's like on the road to pro. This is what he had to say:

Posted by Chris Runyon on December 29, 2011
Tricks in winter action sports are like one gigantic tumbling snowball. They just keep getting bigger and bigger. I mean, what's happening to action sports? Couple weeks ago, professional snowboarder, Luke Mitrani jokingly said, "I'm scared; I'm scared for next year. I need to quit now," when we asked about the progression of snowboarding. Now, with the rise of the freeskiing movement, halfpipe and slopestyle events have boomed in popularity. When we hear about these mini pubescent shred-miesters winning Grand Prix comps and with the Rev Tour finishing up last week, it gets us thinking:
We got a chance to sit down with 17-year-old Atlanta transplant who has gained Steamboat local status, Penn Lukens, for a little Q&A matinee to get an idea of what it's like on the road to pro. This is what he had to say:
A: "Man, I started skiing when I was three-years-old."
A: "It was definitely with a lot of hard work and commitment. My club team (Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club) has been great for pushing me to the next level. All the guys from Steamboat, Aspen, Winter Park, and Vail have just been pushing so hard this past year which makes you step it up. It's great to come to Copper with their early pipe and park and do a couple sessions at Woodward at Copper to learn new tricks during the season and summer."
A: "The park is sick. Woodward at Copper is doing an awesome job this year. The pipe is always nice to ride at Copper but I really like the funky features they put in the park that make you think about what you're going to throw down. It lets you be creative and piece together your line."
A: "Yeah, I've been working on my cork 10 in the pipe to land it consistently in competition. Right now, I have the cork 9 but want to be more comfortable before I try it in competition."
A: "It puts a little pressure on everyone in the sport but I think everyone is also excited to see where things are headed."
A: "Yeah, last year I won the 2011 FIS North American (NorAm) URTUR Grand Prix which qualified me for the 2011 FIS World Cup Finals Men's Halfpipe in March at La Plagne, France. I came in 10th so that was pretty awesome. Before that, I also qualified for the 2011 USST (United States Ski Team) Junior World Championships in New Zealand for SkiCorss. I finished 19th overall had a good time over there."
A: "Oh man, it's close between SkiCross or Halfpipe but I would have to say my favorite is halfpipe because you can keep pushing your limits and keep going bigger."
A: "It's just a whole another level. I mean when the guy in front of you dropping in got first in the Olympics and guy behind you got 3rd in the U.S. Grand Prix last year; the bar is raised to a completely different level."
A: "The first hit I usually do some type of flair with a grab, 7, switch 7, then a flair. These all have grabs I just don't know what they are. I figure it out when I'm upside-down I guess. Then I usually throw a right 5, and end with a cork 9 or 10."
A: "My schedule is going to east and west coast for competitions and hopefully some more in Europe. Mainly Rev Tour with Northstar at Tahoe coming up and the U.S. Grand Prix in Mammoth."
A: "The goal has always been making it to the X-Games. It's the best competition for SkiCross I think and hopefully I'll do well again this year in the FIS World Cup standings."
A: "Don't worry about what other people think. If you fall down just get back up and keep doing the same trick until you stomp it. It will happen and it's the best feeling ever. Also, enter as maybe competitions as possible. You can't get better unless you practice."
A: Yeah, all my sponsors: Surefoot, Chaos Headwear, Fleischer Sports of Steamboat, OnTheSnow.com, S4 Sunglasses, PARKA, Fits Sock Company, and Armada Skis. They help me out all year and couldn't do it without them.
A: "Them too of course."
Here is a picture of Lukens rippin' it up at eighth annual Revolution Tour at Copper Mountain. The Rev Tour provides ground for up-and-coming athletes looking for a chance to compete against their peers on the national stage. Copper was the first stop of the 2012 Tour. Here are some more pictures from the Rev Tour.

Unlimited data is a thing of the past for most smartphone users, and with the introduction of the iPhone 5 many AT&T users in particular are looking for ways to save on new data contracts. We have an undeniable love affair with connected things, pushing data consumption to new heights with the rise of mobile technology. And it's the carriers that come out the winners.
In a report published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, it seems more and more Australians are using their carrier subscription to connect to the internet rather than WiFi. The report notes a 24 percent increase in using smartphones to connect to the internet and downloading content.
And that's just Australia. People all over the world are becoming more dependent on their smartphones for personal or business use, and because of this need to connect, a lot of people go over their monthly allotted data provisions.
In the US, network carriers offer different data plans to suit your data needs, but it comes at a price. AT&T, for example, doesn't offer unlimited data plans, but those who aren't that data hungry may be satisfied with a 300MB data cap that would cost $20 per month. But if you go over your allotted data, you'd have to pay another $20 for every 300MB in excess. For a 3GB plan, you'd pay $30 per month, $50 for a 5GB plan, and pay $10 for every 1GB of excessive use in both plans.
AT&T also has a Mobile Share Plan, which offers unlimited Talk and Text plus a shareable data plan ranging from 1GB to 20GB. The thing is, aside from paying for the Mobile Share Plan which starts at $40 per month for the 1GB plan, you'll have to pay $45 for each smartphone that you share the plan with. So you're not really saving anything.
You can't really blame consumers for being data hungry, especially when apps make it so easy to gobble up data. Games and video streaming can be so addictive that you won't even notice how long you've been using your device, or how long you've been connected to the internet. So what are consumers supposed to do to prevent going over their monthly data cap and getting charged big time?
Here are some tips to curb your data usage:
Connect to WiFi whenever possible
Whenever there's a WiFi network available, and you think it's secure and you won't be accessing any sensitive information, use that instead of your mobile carrier. It will help you from going over your limit, unless you're still using a Verizon iPhone 5 that hasn't been updated. Consumers who were quick to grab Verizon's iPhone 5 were faced with connection and bill problems when it used up their allotted data even when connected to a WiFi network. Apple already released an update for this issue, so if you haven't updated your Verizon iPhone 5 yet, you'd better do so.
Do not stream on cellular
With our dwindling attention spans, video-streaming on our mobile device is a great way to pass the time. And that's when you can get into trouble, as video streaming in particular will eat up a significant portion, or all of your monthly allotted data. Which means the next time you really need to use it for something important, you might go over your data plan. So just stream when you're connected to WiFi and if you can, save the video to your device so you can watch offline, no data required.
Use a data counter
There's an app for almost anything these days, including an app that monitors your data consumption. You can try using Onavo Count if you're using an Android device, it's available for free on Google Play. There's also My Data Manager for Android and iOS, and Data Usage which is available for $0.99.

I arrived in Montreal after catching the Orleans Express bus from Quebec City one rainy morning. The only thing of note is saw as we travelled across the province was a train. No, I haven't become a train spotter: this train was about three miles long! Granted, we were travelling on a motorway in the opposite direction at the time, but it seemed to go on forever! I looked out the window five minutes after I'd seen the engine and I could still see carriages and wagons going past
Upon arrival at the bus station in Montreal, I decided to get a taxi, having not managed to get decent directions to the hostel, plus it was raining. I ended up with a wannabe pimp-cowboy-gangsta driver, who pumped French rap into the car whilst wearing a cowboy hat, red tracksuit with 'Cuba' emblazoned across the front and many pimp chains. Also, he didn't speak English. I spent the entire journey completely terrified that he was going to kill me, but luckily he simply dropped me off at the hostel, and even helped with my bags... an interesting introduction to Montreal!
After checking into the hostel, I decided to go in search of food, and ended up at the Eaton Centre, the main shopping mall in Montreal! All the shops were open til about 10pm, which I was very appreciative of, and took the chance to catch up with the latest fashions in Urban Outfitters, Old Navy and many other stores. I also got my first introduction to Montreal's underground shopping network, where I got utterly lost and ended up coming out of in a really random place that I didn't recognise, and so had to retrace my steps!
Over the next few days I spent a lot of time trying to stay indoors to avoid the fact it was raining and cold
When the sun (briefly) came out, I wandered down to Vieux Montreal (the old part), and saw the Place d'Armes, Place Jacques Cartier, etc. with their attendant McDonald's, Second Cup (like a Canadian Starbucks), and Tim Hortons. I visited the Notre Dame Basilica of Montreal, where Celine Dion got married! It had a beautiful vaulted ceiling, in dark green with gold and silver stars painted on. There were quite a few tourists there though, which wasn't the case at the equally beautiful Cathedrale Marie-Reine-Du-Monde (which was free to get in, unlike the Basilica). The Cathedral of Mary, Queen of the World (as its known in English) had a really beautiful altar (which sadly doesn't come out in the picture I took). It is apparently a one-quarter size replica of St Peter's Basilica in Rome. As I left I realised that I'd visited more religious buildings in the past week than I had in the past 10 years!
As it was late October, one of the main attractions in Montreal, the Olympic Park, was mostly closed. I could have gone to go up the 'tallest inclined tower in the world' but having been up the tallest tower in almost every city I've ever visited (including the World Trade Centre in New York, the Space Needle in Seattle and the Harbour Centre Tower in Vancouver) I decided to give it a miss. Instead I headed up to the Parc du Mont Royal, and the look out point there for spectacular views across the city. Apparently on a clear day you can see the Adirondacks in New York State and the Green Mountains in Vermont. Sadly, it was raining, but I could see as far as the Olympic Park and the colours of the trees were very beautiful.
Overall I enjoyed Montreal, but I think it's probably even more enjoyable in the summertime when there are a lot more events going on. It's definitely on my list of places to revisit when I have the time and money.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 helps protect the privacy of student records. The act provides for the right of the student to inspect and review education records, the right to seek to amend those records, and to limit disclosure of information from the records.
FERPA states that parents may gain permission to access student records if the student is currently claimed as a dependent for income tax purposes. However, out of common courtesy and respect for the student and his/her rights, parents should still request access to those records and statements through the student who would then authorize that the requested information be released to the parents.
Calvin's operational policy regarding college/student communication is that the primary communication link from the college is through the student.

Lambda Legal Delivers Thousands of Signatures Calling for Condoleezza Rice to End Government Discrimination Against People with HIV
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk

(Washington, D.C., June 8, 2006) — Today, Lambda Legal delivered a petition signed by 5,000 people urging Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, to repeal the federal government's discriminatory hiring policies and allow a qualified man living with HIV to work as a Foreign Service Officer.
"Employers, as well as the general public, look to the federal government to set the standard in workers' rights," said Hector Vargas, Deputy Director of Education and Public Affairs at Lambda Legal. "Dr. Rice has the power to set the record straight and make clear that discrimination in the workplace is not acceptable, starting with allowing Lorenzo Taylor, Kyle Smith, and other qualified and dedicated applicants to serve our nation in the Foreign Service."
Lambda Legal launched the campaign against Rice last month with an email message calling members to action as well as web banner ads running throughout the month of May on websites including TheBody.com and OutInAmerica.com. The petition is currently available for the public to sign on Lambda Legal's "Blow the Whistle" subsite and will also be featured at PRIDE celebrations around the country. Another round of signatures will be delivered to the Secretary of State in the Fall.
Lambda Legal represents Lorenzo Taylor, who speaks three languages, holds a Foreign Service degree from Georgetown University and easily passed the rigorous application process required to be a Foreign Service Officer. Because of the State Department's current policies, however, Taylor was not considered for the job because he has HIV, though medical experts including the nation's two largest organizations of HIV specialists say the State Department's hiring practice is medically unfounded. Lambda Legal also represents Kyle Smith, who applied for a position in the Foreign Service in 2003, but was also rejected because he has HIV. The petition delivered today urges Dr. Rice to repeal the State Department's discriminatory policy and evaluate each Foreign Service applicant on a case-by-case basis.
Lambda Legal's lawsuit on behalf of Taylor, filed in late 2002, says the State Department's policy violates the federal Rehabilitation Act, which prohibits the federal government from discriminating against people with disabilities. The lawsuit seeks a change in the outdated policy. Last spring, federal district court Judge Rosemary Collyer issued an opinion in favor of the State Department saying that the government should not have to accommodate Taylor by letting him use some of his sick and vacation leave, available to all Foreign Service Officers, to travel to see his doctor. Lambda Legal argued the appeal in the case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in April and a decision is currently pending. Smith's case is pending before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
