If you have a medical condition we strongly advise that you declare it. However, if you do not wish to add the extra cover, you can choose to exclude cover for your condition from your policy after you have completed the easy online medical screening process.
Knowing whether you have a pre-existing medical condition is vital to ensuring that you have adequate health cover. Our Q & A team tackles the common question of what exactly a pre existing medical condition is. Read More
You can customise your policy further with pre-existing medical condition cover, sports and a number of other specialist add-ons.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition its vital that you declare it or you could invalidate your entire policy. Insurers dont like to think that youve hidden things from them and you may be surprised to find out that many common medical conditions such as allergies can be added without any additional cost. Whats more, you even have the option to declare a condition but then exclude it from your policy. What this means is that youve told your insurer about your condition but decided not to cover it, so you will be covered medically for anything unrelated to that condition.
Specialist cover can be added to your policy in minutes via our easy Online Medical Screening system.
A decent policy will include cover for many sporty or adventure activities as standard. However the more adventurous or dangerous the activity, like winter sports, the more likely it is that you will need to purchase additional sports insurance. You can customise your policy further a number of other specialist add-ons.
If you want to play sport on holiday, make sure you do so safely by adding the correct sports grade to your policy.

Getting a proposal was easy. You then only had to make up your mind about the sort of coverage you want and book it accordingly. I decided against the paper documents (sent by mail) just for the reason being I ran out of time as I booked late. Fortunately I didn't have to make use of the services on the spot and therefore cannot comment on that part.

I started taking photos of my friends from high school, hanging out in mall parking lots. We would listen to Sonic Youth and eat Mac's Milk food every day while sitting on the roof of my friend's car. Not much has changed. I studied film production and cultural studies at York University, however, after discovering artists like Stephen Shore and Jeff Wall, my sights were set on working in photography. I work as a commercial photographer day to day, which is a bizarre yet rewarding job to have. My greatest influences are Tennessee in the '50s, Paris in the '60s, and New York & Los Angeles in the mid-'90s.
My style when I was younger was typically inspired by movies more then anything else. After watching Trainspotting, I bought a pair of incredibly tight skinny jeans that barely fit over my ankles. I loved Annie Hall so I decided to find oversized khakis at Value Village. I watched Kids on repeat, which inspired me to wear a raggedy Independent t-shirt from Black Market that my mom hated.
Today I'm typically inspired by the people I see on the street day to day. I think as long as you stay true to who you are, then you've got great style.

About the Author
Jean Marzollo When I was young, I liked to sew, play baseball, and read. I was drawn to poetry early in life. I loved to read, and one of my favorite books as a child was A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. Also, my mother had several small poetry books on her bookshelf. With their leather covers and gold titles, they were treasures to me.

Slow pace of justice Jan. 23, the Republican-American reported that Henry Centrella, Winsted's embattled finance director, was fired by Town Manager Dale L. Martin. Mr. Centrella, who assumed his position in the early 1980s, has been on paid administrative leave since Nov. 9 because of "accounting irregularities." It has emerged that Mr. Centrella unilaterally transfered $100,000 from the town's Soldiers' Monument Commission to help the Water and Sewer Commission pay a bond. This violated a town rule that all mid-fiscal-year transfers in excess of $15,000 be approved by taxpayers. The town has more than $4 million in unpaid bills, its cash reserve hasn't been audited in nearly four years and Mr. Centrella aroused suspicion by storing town funds in his desk. He also apparently failed to keep Mr. Martin and the Board of Selectmen adequately informed of the town's financial situation. As such, Mr. Centrella's ouster is justified. It's just amazing, though not atypical of public-sector practices, that it took so long to get rid of him.

(January 21, 2010)
Momentum is building behind the scenes for an extension of the Bricktown Canal that would bring the waterway to the Myriad Gardens.
Tim Brassfield, executive director of the All Sports Association, and Brett Price, president of Urban Neighbors, say their boards recently passed resolutions supporting such a move after the effort was initially launched by the Bricktown Association.
Bricktown Association Chairwoman Avis Scaramucci and Director Jim Cowan declined to comment on the campaign. But several sources verify the discussions also involved top business and civic leaders, Mayor Mick Cornett and City Manager Jim Couch.
The resolution passed by Urban Neighbors mirrors one passed by the Bricktown Association and suggests an extension would change the canal from being just an attraction to a pedestrian thoroughfare.
The plan being pitched would extend the canal from where it dead-ends at the BNSF Railway viaduct; the new waterway would pass under the rail bridge at Reno Avenue, continue between the Cox Convention Center and Ford Center, and end at the Myriad Gardens.
Such a waterway would allow big crowds attending events at Ford Center to walk to Bricktown or to the Arts District without crossing busy traffic corridors.
The extension is also being pitched as a way to provide better access to downtown green space, including the gardens and the Oklahoma River.
What's uncertain is how such an extension might be funded. The project is not being publically mentioned as a potential MAPS 3 project (Mayor Cornett has been pitching light rail, public transit, Core to Shore and a new central park).
Nor has it been mentioned as a potential improvement to be funded by the Devon Energy tower tax increment finance district.
But the idea of a canal extension is not new. When the canal plans were created, the city's public works department drew up a map showing a similar extension plan that also included a loop around what is now the Centennial Building in Lower Bricktown.
In my visits with various players in this deal, it seems they are more focused at simply getting the canal considered as part of a larger discussion on what's next for downtown.
Consultants are drafting up plans for future development of Bricktown and how to bring the city from a tier three to a tier two convention market -- so it's difficult to see how this time isn't better than any other to at least discuss whether such a canal extension is possible.

Company officials want to expand on property the company already owns on Almon Street, Miles said.
"This is subject to GM's approval," Miles said. "I have not sent the official letter to Chevrolet."
The plans should be finalized over the next 30 to 60 days, he said. However, Miles said, he was approaching the council members to request the city provide a building permit, water meter tap fees and sewer lines to the new building, an estimated $15,000, at no cost.
The council took no vote on the matter because the proposal was made during a work session, not a formal meeting.
In a letter outlining the proposal, Miles said the business collects about $408,000 in sales tax each year. The city receives about $120,000 of that revenue, he added. With the expansion, the company expects to increase sales by 20 percent or more. Miles said the expansion would also mean 20 percent more jobs for the company, which currently has 58 employees.
Under the plans, the Chevrolet dealership on Ross Street would become an expanded used car sales lot and body shop, Miles said. The Chevrolet dealership would move to two parcels of property behind the Buster Miles Ford dealership on Almon Street, Miles said. It would be accessed by the old Heflin-Wedowee Road, he added.
The company will make a finalized announcement within the next 60 days, Miles said.
"I just wanted to let y'all know and give you a better to look over what we're trying to do to continue to be a vital part of this community," Miles said.
In other business:
• A public hearing concerning a liquor license for Father and Son Grill on Burns Street drew no comments from the public and the Heflin City Council approved the license by a 4-1 vote.
Councilman Shannon Roberts, the sole no vote, hesitated before he cast his vote, but didn't offer an explanation.
• A liquor license for Express Mart #23 on Alabama 46 unanimously passed. The store had mistakenly approached the Cleburne County Commission for a liquor license which it granted. Staff then discovered the store was in the city of Heflin's jurisdiction, Mayor Rudy Rooks said.
• City Clerk Shane Smith presented the council members proposed changes to the alcohol ordinance that would allow the council to grant a special permit or lease that would allow alcohol to be served in public facilities for special events. The council should vote on the issue at the next meeting on July 9.

Any chance that politicians in Washington might revist those $85 billion in automatic spending reductions known as the sequester disappeared yesterday, when President Obama signed a stop-gap bill to keep the government running through September. Non-profits in Maine that provide a wide array of services are beginning to be hit by the cuts. As Jay Field reports, the loss of funding comes as a national survey shows a continuing trend of non-profits being asked to provide more services with fewer resources.
When non-profits, large and small, need a loan or some strategic advice, they often go to the Nonprofit Finance Fund. For the past five years, the fund has released a survey on the overall state of the non-profit sector in America.
The 2013 report, out this week, interviewed more than 5,900 organizations. Respondents are facing lots of different problems. But one, says Anthony Bugg-Levine, stands out. Bugg-Levine is CEO of the Nonprofit Finance Fund.
"The demand for services goes up and the ability of organizations to raise the money they need to pay for those services does not meet the increased demand," Bugg-Levine says.
Grants from foundations and private sources have rebounded somewhat since the height of the recession. But in the survey, 47 percent of non-profits reported receiving funding from state and local government contracts in 2012.
Those payments have shrunk in recent years. And when they do come, they're often delayed. Twenty-nine percent of non-profits also got federal funding last year. And now, Bugg-Levine says that revenue stream is at risk too.
"The sequester will be hitting a sector that is already skating on very thin ice," he says. "Even in good years, very few non-profit organizations put away money, or are able to put away money, to build up reserves that allow them to survive the lean years."
Consider the situation at Spectrum Generations, one of five aging and disability centers in the state. Spectrum provides community dining, meals on wheels, family caregiving, Medicare couseling and other essential services to seniors in a six-county swatch of Central Maine.
It's able to do this thanks to the federal grants it gets under the OAA, or Older Americans Act. But under sequestration, CEO Gerard Queally says Spectrum is losing a little over $100,000 in funding from Washington.
"I wanted to give the community enough time to understand the change. So I pushed this letter out to my staff, to my board of directors and to the community at large on March 15th and basically gave a two week notice," Queally says.
Queally says the service cuts are already hitting vulnerable seniors in Maine - the nation's oldest state. Spectrum has cut back hours at its community centers in Somerset, Knox and Waldo Counties.
"We've had to cancel our community dining subcontracts. So we won't be able to fund some of the community dining that's going on up in Jackman, Maine, or Rockland," he says.
Queally says 4,200 Meals on Wheels will be cut for shut-ins and 2,200 fewer seniors will be able to get health insurance and other types of counseling.
Brenda Peluso says cuts are taking effect in lots of other areas too. Peluso is director of public policy at the Maine Association of Nonprofits.
"We're starting to hear from some of our members that they're needing to close programs, lay off staff, in order to meet some of the reductions that are coming through because of the sequester," she says.
Peluso says many of the organization's more than 780 members were hoping that Congress would come up with a solution to walk back the cuts. But that possibility took a hit this week, when President Obama signed legislation to keep the government running through September. That bill keeps the $85 billion in spending reductions in place.

Apache Loses Market Shares to Microsofts IIS
Bad news for Apache: according to Netcraft statistics, the free Web Server lost market shares to Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server in October.
In its survey in October, Netcraft saw Apache's market share drop to 47.73 percent while Microsoft IIS went to 37.13 percent. The gap of ten percent between Apache and IIS is the smallest that Netcraft has ever recorded since IIS was released in 1996. Apache dropped by 2.8 percent compared to September. The Web analysts identified the powerful growth of major blogging systems such as MySpace and Microsoft Live and the fact that 2.5 million domains were lost with Trouble-free.net as the reasons behind the losses.
SharepointI know quite a few of my customers got bought out by bigger companies and they shut down there Apache servers because the new company uses Microsoft Sharepoint which is IIS 7 based.

Test Center Procedures
Cell Phones and Other Devices
Cell phones, smartphones (e.g., BlackBerry® and iPhone® devices, etc.), PDAs and any other electronic, photographic, scanning, listening or recording devices are not permitted at the test center. If you bring such devices to the test center, you will be dismissed from the test, your test fees will be forfeited and your scores will be canceled. If you are seen ACCESSING such a device for any reason, in addition to the above conditions, the device will be confiscated and inspected. Test center staff are not permitted to collect or store devices.
Arrival Time
Please report to the test center on time. If you arrive late, you may not be admitted to the test, and your registration and test fees will be forfeited.
If you are taking a computer-delivered test, please plan to arrive at the test center 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time for check-in.
If you are taking a paper-delivered test, please arrive at the test center by the report time listed on your admission ticket.
On occasion, weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the test administrator's or ETS's control may require a delayed start or the rescheduling of your test appointment.
Procedures for Computer-delivered Tests
Please arrive at your test center location at least 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment. When you arrive, an administrator or supervisor will check you in and assign your seat.
Plan to be at the test center up to an hour longer than the actual duration of your test. This includes time for check-in and the completion of tutorials.
The following rules are in place to protect the security of the testing process. They apply to computer-delivered test sessions, beginning at sign-in and ending at sign-out (including breaks):
- Complete and sign the confidentiality statement provided to you at the test center. If you do not, you cannot test and your fees will NOT be refunded.
- Sign the test center log before and after the test session and any time you leave or enter the testing room.
- Use only the scratch paper given to you by the test administrator. You may not bring your own scratch paper to the test or remove scratch paper from the testing room.
- Raise your hand if you have a problem with your computer or need the administrator's help at any time during the test.
- Use the allotted practice time for the tutorial and other untimed sections prior to the test. This allows you to become familiar with the computer functions and will help make your computer-delivered testing experience go smoothly. You may not use scratch paper during this time.
- Be aware that test takers on the testing premises are subject to videotaping, photographing, thumb printing, signature comparison and other forms of electronic biometric ID comparison. ETS reserves the right to ensure the security of test content by using electronic detection scanning devices (e.g., hand-held metal detectors/wands). Failure to comply may result in dismissal from the test and forfeiture of your test fees.
- If you have health-related needs requiring you to bring equipment, beverages or snacks into the testing room or to take extra or extended breaks, you need to request accommodations in advance. Procedures for requesting accommodations are described in the Bulletin Supplement for Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-related Needs.
Procedures for Paper-delivered Tests
When you arrive, an administrator or supervisor will check you in and assign your seat. You should plan to arrive at 7:30 a.m. for Session 1 tests, or at 10:45 a.m. for Session 2 tests. Plan to be at the test center for at least two hours, depending on the length of your test.
The following additional rules are in place to protect the security of the testing process. They apply during the entire test session, beginning when you are admitted to the test center and up to the time that you leave the test center (including breaks):
- No test taker will be admitted after test materials have been distributed.
- Do not bring mechanical pencils or paper of any kind into the testing room.
- Do not ask supervisors for schedule changes.
- Do not use watch alarms or time-keeping devices that make noise. Digital watches are not permitted. You may pace yourself with your own watch, but the supervisor is the official timekeeper. You may not continue the test beyond the established time limit.
- Mark all your answers on the separate answer sheet. You may use the test book to work out your answers. However, answers recorded in the test book will not be scored.
- Return your test book and answer sheet to the test supervisor at the end of the test, as directed. These materials are the property of ETS.
- If you have health-related needs requiring you to bring equipment, beverages or snacks into the testing room or to take extra or extended breaks, you need to request accommodations in advance. Procedures for requesting accommodations are described in the Bulletin Supplement for Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-related Needs.
Testing Irregularities
Although tests are administered under strict supervision and security measures, testing irregularities may sometimes occur. Please contact us as soon as possible to report any observed behavior that may lead to an invalid score — for example, someone copying from another test taker, taking a test for someone else, having access to test questions before the exam or using notes or unauthorized aids.

I'll throw my .02 cents in here too. Skynyrd puts on a great show, i've seen quite a few other bands and nobody interacts with the crowd as much as JVZ does, even if it's pretty much the same thing year to year. I saw Boston a couple years ago, all they did was get up, play their songs (very well yes) and done, not much if any crowd interaction, it was like listening to a CD and a rather boring show to be honest with no "extended versions" of anything, plus they only played maybe 10 or 15 minutes longer than Skynyrd tops, if that. My only gripe with a Skynyrd show is the medely, i don't understand why they can't play the entire songs, that would even take care of "short show" complaint if you ask me with out puttin much more strain on the band. But reality is, most big name bands only play 90 minutes at best, including encores, so i'm just gonna be thankfull i/we still have the opprotunity to see Skynyrd lyve year after year. They keep comin to town, i'll keep goin to see them!! Skynyrd Nation!

Heck people said the band would stop when Leon died, but nope, then Billy, and nope. as far as Gary retiring, i can't see it happening. He made a promise that he would keep playing until he goes to Heaven, and That statement from Gary, I truly believe!
I can't see any possibility of Gary deciding to retire and have LS carry on without him.
Nope, he IS the "Last Rebel" and if ever he calls it quits with Skynyrd, that would be that, in my opinion.

A new survey released on Thursday says a majority of Virginians support Governor Bob McDonnell's transportation plan.
McDonnell's plan would remove the gas tax and raise the sales tax to pay for roads.
It was supported by two-thirds of the over one-thousand people who were asked about it in the phone survey. Additionally, most people were opposed to adding taxes and toll roads.

The Minnesota Twins of the Major Baseball League has filed paperwork to oppose the WWE's attempt to obtain a trademark for the Bella Twins.
While he has not been given a feud to work with since making his return to WWE, Rey Mysterio is very much still a part of the plans for Wrestlemania 30. He was penciled in for a big match against Sin Cara, but management is now looking for a new opponent for him at the pay per view.
Aside from half hearted programs with Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio really has not been given a full program by WWE to work with since wrestling John Cena at Survivor Series 2013. However, the feeling backstage is that Del Rio is assured a spot at Wrestlemania 30 to draw in the Spanish media.
Since he is claiming that he owns the copyright to the name, Luis Alvirde is still utilizing the Sin Cara name. The masked performer used the moniker while working shows in Mexico and Puerto Rico recently. The belief is that WWE be pursuing legal actions against him.
In another sign that the business relationship between Sin Cara and WWE is over, the masked performer has been signed by World Wrestling League, a promotion in Puerto Rico. He's still interested in returning to USA and working with WWE again, but the feeling is not mutual.

Money soon won't be a factor in coaching decisions; more Mailbag
Story Highlights
Given programs' increasing profitability, coaches will be held to higher standards
Mark Richt is one of the few coaches who has rebounded from status on hot seat
Plus: Stanford's résumé, Heisman debate, BCS merit of top non-AQ teams, more
|The Mandel Initiative Podcast
|Tracy Wolfson from CBS previews Saturday's Alabama-Georgia game and shares stories about SEC coaches. Stewart and Mallory discuss coaching changes and answer your listener mail.
Millions of Americans dropped billions of their hard-earned cash at malls and department stores over Thanksgiving weekend. College athletic directors did much the same thing -- only they didn't get a flat screen or an iPad in return.
Hi Stewart. Sometimes even the loveliest brides don't look so good after the wedding-day hangover wears off (Gene Chizik, Jeff Tedford, etc.). Auburn is now on the hook for more than $11 million to its former coach and assistants. Cal may spend more than $7 million. Do you foresee a reversal in the ridiculous buyout trend?
-- Sam, Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Wash.
In short -- no, not a chance. Very soon, if not already, money will no longer be a factor in whether a school hires or fires a coach, because most major-conference programs now have access to more money than they could possibly know what do with. In the case of Cal, AD Sandy Barbour said the perennially cash-strapped program will pay the $6.9 million remaining on Tedford's contract though "intercollegiate athletics-generated revenue." It's been reported that donors are covering most of that cost, which is not unusual in these situations. But soon, even that might not be necessary. As of two years ago, Cal received less than $9 million annually in conference revenue distribution. Starting with the new deal that kicked in this year, Pac-12 schools will now earn an average of $21 million a year in television revenue alone. That's not even counting BCS and bowl payouts. And beginning in 2014, all FBS schools will get a cut of the new playoff/bowl system that ESPN last week agreed to pay an average of $610-615 million a year to televise, a 340 percent increase from the BCS.
The money in college athletics is rising astronomically -- and as it does, coaching tenures are only going to get shorter. Obviously, coaches have always faced pressure to win, but it's only going to intensify in the coming playoff era. Schools like Purdue and NC State are already saying 7-5 isn't good enough. Everyone wants to play in the big games, but obviously only a handful will in any given year. Whereas in the past it might have been financially imprudent to make a coaching change after just a couple of years -- especially if it meant paying huge buyouts like Chizik and Tedford's -- now there's almost no hindrance. Jon Embree's not working out for you, Colorado? Pay him off and try again. The Heart of Dallas Bowl isn't enough for you, Purdue? Go out and spend $3 million on a big-time coach.
I know I sound like a broken record, but college football is increasingly mirroring the NFL, and this area is yet another example. In the NFL, teams don't give you four years to bring in your own players and right the ship. Expect much the same cutthroat mentality going forward. If a coach is meeting or exceeding expectations, he'll get a big raise. If not, he'll get a golden parachute. And if you're an athletic director who makes a boneheaded hire or two, your friends at ESPN and the other networks will be there to help you bankroll your way out of a bad decision.
How many times have you actually seen a coach work his way off the hot seat? It seems to me that once a coach gets on it, he eventually ends up getting fired. Is Mark Richt the best example of survival, and what happens if he loses on Saturday?
-- James G., Gilroy, Calif.
It's pretty amazing to think that just two summers ago, Richt was the undisputed coach on the hottest seat in the SEC. Since that time, six other SEC coaches (Houston Nutt, Bobby Petrino, Joker Phillips, Derek Dooley, John L. Smith and Chizik) have been let go, while Richt will be playing for a BCS championship berth on Saturday. Mind you, Richt was never in legitimate danger to the degree it was portrayed at the time. It seemed a rare instance where a school's own fans were still widely supportive of a so-called embattled coach. But I can think of no other recent instance of a coach successfully engineering such a dramatic mid-tenure turnaround. The closest comparison would be Oregon State's Mike Riley, who brushed off consecutive losing seasons (including a 3-9 record last year) to go 8-3 this season, but the beloved coach never actually reached hot seat territory.
Reaching the BCS title game has been the one milestone that's eluded Richt in his 11 seasons, and therefore Saturday is a potential legacy-changer. But I can't imagine his actual job status would be affected either way. Georgia is not the favorite against Alabama. Bulldogs fans will be disappointed if they lose and perhaps frustrated at the missed opportunity. But it's hard to hold an 11-1 regular season against someone. Richt must feel pretty confident about his future. In complete opposite fashion of the trend I discussed earlier, last summer Richt agreed to a contract extension that significantly lowers the school's buyout with each subsequent year. So while he seems perfectly safe now, I would not recommend a return to 6-7 in 2014, as it would cost Georgia a paltry $1.6 million to part ways with him.
I am hoping that the mention of your alma mater increases the chances of getting an answer. This season looks like a script from Revenge of the Nerds. Four renowned schools with higher academic requirements -- Notre Dame, Stanford, Northwestern and Vanderbilt -- are a combined 39-9, and Duke qualified for a bowl for the first time since the 1990s. Do you think this is an anomaly or are the more academically capable athletes starting to gain an advantage with the increased sophistication of offenses and defenses?
-- John Michel, Villa Park, Calif.
Indeed, this is the first time in history that all five schools have reached a bowl in the same season, and with the exception of Duke, it's not like success came out of nowhere. Obviously, Notre Dame is in its own category historically, but we now just accept it as normal that Stanford contends for a BCS berth and Northwestern annually reaches a bowl. Vanderbilt is currently a better football program than Tennessee, and no one seems particularly surprised. And now a school that's tied for the highest graduation rate in the country -- Notre Dame -- is playing for the national championship. The nerds truly have won.
As much as I'd love to conjure some grand correlation between SAT scores and offensive efficiency, really, it's entirely about the coaches. All five schools hired not just outstanding coaches, but guys who "get" their respective schools. David Shaw (Stanford) and Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern) are alums and former players. Brian Kelly is an Irish-Catholic from the Northeast who grew up rooting for Notre Dame. While James Franklin has no ties to Nashville, the media-savvy coach keenly rebranded longstanding doormat Vanderbilt as a buzz-worthy program from day one. And Duke could not be more fortunate to have a coach of Cutcliffe's pedigree. He's won at the highest level in the SEC, as has most of his staff, but he seems more comfortable at a small private school than he ever did at Ole Miss.
It's all about making the right hire -- which is why so many schools are out there right now trying to find their own Kelly or Franklin.
I remember last year there was a big push to have Oregon ranked ahead of Stanford even though the Ducks had two losses, because one came to the No. 1 team (LSU) and Oregon beat Stanford head-to-head. The argument was the Ducks shouldn't be punished for scheduling a tough team as opposed to a patsy. This year the situation is exactly reversed. Stanford has two losses, but one came out of conference to the No. 1 team (Notre Dame), and the Cardinal have the head-to-head win against Oregon. As a Cal fan, it truly pains me to ask, but shouldn't Stanford be getting the same treatment?
-- Brett, Chicago
Wow. It's EXACTLY the same scenario.
To refresh, Stanford-Oregon became a hot topic during last summer's playoff negotiations, specifically, the "conference champs vs. top-four teams" debate. Several of the commissioners (including Larry Scott) pointed out how unfair it would have been had Stanford (No. 4 in the final BCS standings) edged out Pac-12 champion Oregon (ranked No. 5) solely due to the Ducks' loss to LSU. I contended that had an actual playoff spot been at stake, the voters would have taken that into account and flipped the two.
Yet here we are a year later with the teams in virtually identical, albeit reversed, situations, and I'm not as confident the voters would do the same. For one thing, the two teams aren't next to each other in the standings. Oregon is No. 5, while Stanford is No. 8. It's possible the Cardinal will move up a spot should they beat UCLA on Friday and watch No. 6 Kansas State lose to Texas, but I can't see the voters moving 11-2 Stanford above a 10-2 LSU team with losses to No. 2 Alabama and No. 4 Florida. The Cardinal, by contrast, lost to 7-5 Washington. But as we now know, it won't be the voters deciding this thing in 2014; it will be a selection committee. And as I've written previously, the committee won't be beholden to previous polls or the one-loss trumps two-loss philosophy. Oregon, Stanford and LSU would all garner serious consideration.
It seems you've become more out of touch with football in the South since your move out West. I'm fairly certain you missed all but one Florida game you picked. Has there ever been a team you had a worse feel for than this year's Gators squad?
-- J.W., Tampa
No, I cannot remember a team that more consistently confounded me. Though if anyone in the country correctly predicted that Florida would not only beat Florida State but also score 37 points, by all means, present yourself. I'll turn over my stock portfolio to you.
What happened to you since you got married and moved West? You are a sad reflection of your former self. Did you really say Florida is "laughable" and its offense "putrid?" Will you man up and apologize?
-- Bob Larson, Wake Forest, N.C.
I apologize. But what's with all the West Coast jabs? I live 20 minutes from Stanford and got most of its games wrong, too.
Please Stewart, do me a favor. Pick against the Gators in their bowl game.
-- Martin, Montreal, Canada
I can't make any promises before I know the opponent -- especially when the possibilities currently include Louisville, Rutgers and Kent State.

ADA brochures break down periodontal disease for patients
The ADA series of periodontal disease brochures may be all the reinforcement that's needed.
Here are three that cover the topic from different patient education vantage points:
• Periodontal Disease: Don't Wait Until It Hurts (W121) is a primer covering the causes, prevention and risk factors to treatment and post-treatment care. The brochure explains periodontal probing and the role of X-rays in diagnosis. The cost for members is $30 for 50 brochures; the cost for nonmembers is $45 for 50 brochures.
• Scaling and Root Planing: Treatments for Periodontal Disease (W613) addresses how all aspects of treatment come together—and why re-care appointments and home care are so essential for keeping one's natural teeth. The brochure points out how certain systemic diseases can heighten the risk for developing more severe forms of periodontal disease. The cost for members is $27 for 50 brochures; nonmember cost is $40.50 for 50 brochures.
• Periodontal Maintenance: Preserve the Progress You Have Made (W263) details maintenance therapy and reinforces the message that periodontal patients need more frequent visits than other patients.
The cost for members is $27 for 50 brochures; nonmember cost is $40.50 for 50 brochures.

I want to generate aPDF by passing HTML contents to a function. I have made use of iTextSharp for this but it does not perform well when it encounters tables and the layout just gets messy.
Is there a better way?
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Try wkhtmtopdf. It is the best tool I have found so far.
Most HTML to PDF converter relies on IE to do the HTML parsing and rendering. This can break when user updates their IE. Here is one that does not rely on IE.
The code is something like this:
Like many other converters, you can pass text, file name, or Url. The result can be saved into a file or a stream.
Winnovative offer a .Net PDF library that supports HTML input. They offer an unlimited free trial. Depending on how you wish to deploy your project, this might be sufficient.
There's also a new web-based document generation app - DocRaptor.com. Seems easy to use, and there's a free option.
If you don't really need a true .Net PDF library, there are numerous free HTML to PDF tools, many of which can run from a command-line.
One solution would be to pick one of those and then write a thin wrapper around that in C#. E.g., as done in this tutorial.
Here is some free code at Code Project.
It depends on any other requirements you have.
A really simple but not easily deployable solution is to use a WebBrowser control to load the Html and then using the Print method printing to a locally installed PDF printer. There are several free PDF printers available and the WebBrowser control is a part of the .Net framework.
EDIT: If you Html is XHtml you can use PDFizer to do the job.
evo html to pdf converter has a simple .NET API and produces very good results.
PDF Vision is good. However, you have to have Full Trust to use it. I already emailed and asked why my HTML wasn't being converted on the server but it worked fine on localhost.
ABCpdf.NET (http://www.websupergoo.com/abcpdf-5.htm)
We use and recommend.
Very good component, it not only convert a webpage to PDF like an image but really convert text, image, formatting, etc...
It's not free but it's cheap.
Ok, using this technologies....
I was also looking for this a while back. I ran into HTMLDOC http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/ which is a free open source command line app that takes an HTML file as an argument and spits out a PDF from it. It's worked for me pretty well for my side project, but it all depends on what you actually need.
The company that makes it sells the compiled binaries, but you are free to download and compile from source and use it for free. I managed to compile a pretty recent revision (for version 1.9) and I intend on releasing a binary installer for it in a few days, so if you're interested I can provide a link to it as soon as I post it.
Edit (2/25/2014): Seems like the docs and site moved to http://www.msweet.org/projects.php?Z1
Try this PDF Duo .Net converting component for converting HTML to PDF from ASP.NET application without using additional dlls.
You can pass the HTML string or file, or stream to generate the PDF. Use the code below (Example C#):
Info + C#/VB examples you can find at: http://www.duodimension.com/html_pdf_asp.net/component_html_pdf.aspx
I used ExpertPDF Html To Pdf Converter. Does a decent job. Unfortunatelly, it's not free.
Here is a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf.dll by pruiz
And a wrapper for wkhtmltopdf.exe by Codaxy
This shows an excellent example from CodeProject.
Web2PDFConvert has web API.
Found this open source solution. Looks promising!
peace | dewde
To convert HTML to PDF in C# use ABCpdf.
ABCpdf can make use of the Gecko or Trident rendering engines, so your HTML table will look the same as it appears in FireFox and Internet Explorer.
There's an on-line demo of ABCpdf at www.abcpdfeditor.com. You could use this to check out how your tables will render first, without needing to download and install software.
For rendering entire web pages you'll need the AddImageUrl or AddImageHtml functions. But if all you want to do is simply add HTML styled text then you could try the AddHtml function, as below:
ABCpdf is a commercial software title, however the standard edition can often be obtained for free under special offer.

Tazo® Calm™ Full Leaf Tea
Product Info
A full-leaf herbal tea blend of chamomile, rose petals and soothing herbs.
Tasting Notes Creamy, floral, toasty sweet.
Enjoy this with: A slice of lemon loaf and an easy wind-down to your day.
Product Details
Tazo® Calm™ Full Leaf Tea
For an herbal tea as relaxing as Tazo® Calm™, there's a lot going on behind that floral aroma and sweet, soothing flavor. Light-bodied with a smooth finish, this full-leaf blend combines chamomile, lemongrass, rose petals, spearmint and licorice root. There also might be a bit of magic involved.
How to Prepare
Did You Know?
Chamomile is one of the classic herbal infusions.
The Tazo® version is particularly rich in flavor and color. The list of 11 ingredients provides insight into the complexity of flavor. Taste and see how many different flavors you can identify.
Herbal Infusion
Though often referred to as "herbal teas," these blends contain none of the leaf Camellia sinesis and are, therefore, not true teas at all. Their botanical ingredients, however, can be marvelous and varied. Flowers, roots, peels, seeds, barks, berries and spices are sourced from around the world and are kept in their whole form, then cut just prior to blending, ensuring the freshest possible flavor.
About Tazo
Tea is one of life's simple pleasures.
And at Tazo, we believe that discovering authentic new tastes in tea makes the experience more enjoyable. Tazo searches the globe to obtain the finest botanicals and teas, then artfully blends these exotic ingredients to create unexpectedly rich, truly memorable flavor experiences.
Tazo is a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP), an alliance of international tea companies that are working together to improve the environmental sustainability of tea production and to help improve the lives and communities of tea workers.

CV's Lohman captures second straight diving championship
Practice makes perfect for Maria Lohman. After this warm-up dive, the Chartiers Valley diver went on to capture her second straight WPIAL diving championship. She became the first competitor in district history to win titles in two different classifications. Last year, the Colts competed in the AA division. This year, they moved up to Class AAA.

What's the difference between a WPIAL diving champion at the Class AA level and the Class AAA division? Nothing if that winner is Maria Lohman.
In capturing her second consecutive championship, the Chartiers Valley sophomore became the first diver in WPIAL history to win titles in the two categories. Lohman won the banner last year when the Colts competed in Class AA. Though CV moved up to Class AAA this season, the Scott Township resident retained her crown.
And, what was the difference in victory? One dive.
See, Lohman won the 2012 title going away, scoring 470.95 points for a 56.20 victory. Yet, on Feb. 23 at the North Allegheny High School pool, Lohman needed about that many points, 57 to be exact on her final dive, to secure the triumph.
And, Lohman did so as she racked up a 467.30 total to edge Ashley Sams. The Bethel Park senior finished second with a 463.05 score.
"This was way different than last year," said the 15-year-old daughter of Lisa and John Lohman. "The competition was much better. More challenging."
As stressful as this year's finals were, Sams added levity to the proceedings. See, while Sams and Lohman are scholastic foes, they are both teammates at the amateur level. Both dive competitively for the Pitt Aquatic Club, coached by Julian and Doe Krug.
"On one hand, it's good to dive against Ashley because she keeps me on my toes," said Lohman, who has been diving since she was 9 years old. "On the other hand, Ashley keeps me calm and relaxed. Since we are good friends, we're able to joke around and that makes it easier to compete without a lot of added stress."
When Lohman dives, the pressure is on the competition. Not only is she a two-time district champion, she's also the 2012 PIAA runner-up. Plus, she is a member of the USA Diving Junior Elite Performance Squad, which consists of the top 55 boys and girls in the country hoping to qualify for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics.
The lone Pittsburgh member, Lohman earned her spot by finishing among the top divers on the platform as well as 1- and 3-meter boards during previous Junior National Championship competitions. Additionally, she has trained at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
Yet, after finishing first in the district, Lohman only has her sights set on the state championships set for March 14 at Bucknell University in Lewisburg.
In 2012, Lohman finished as the PIAA runner-up to Trinity's Ashley Buchter. Buchter set a state record with her 482.80 score. Lohman racked up 453.25 points for second.
"My goal is to win states and score a personal record," said Lohman. "There will be time enough to break the state record."
Time and experience factored into Lohman's favor during the WPIAL meet and should aid her at the Kinney Natatorium in two weeks.
"Having been there before helped," she said. "I know what to expect and I know what to do."
Lohman and Sams weren't the only divers doing well during the WPIAL competition.
At the Class AAA level, freshman Brionna Litwin of Bethel Park finished eighth overall in the girls' division with 322.80 points.
In the boys' competition, Cody Pyles from Peters Township secured sixth place with a 402.85 score while Mt. Lebanon's Cary Johns placed eighth with a 327.15 total.
Pine-Richland's Dominic Giordano captured the Class AAA crown for the second year in a row. The senior, who will dive at Florida State, did so in record fashion. He shattered his own record of 544.50, set in 2012, with a 610 score.
In the boys' Class AA competition, Stephen Zombek rolled up 353.25 points and edged Beaver's Micah Ringer (342.65) for the gold medal. A runner-up last year by the narrowest of margins (0.15 points), Zombek becomes the first diving champion in South Fayette history.
Zombek's teammate, Grace Klimek, claimed the bronze medal in the girls' Class AA division. She scored 394.65 to finish behind champion McKenzie Stelter of Mohawk (419.85) and Moon's Heather Lonkert (417.65).
NOTE: The WPIAL swimming championships will be held Feb. 28 and March 1 at the University of Pittsburgh's Trees Pool.
Class AA competition begins at 10 a.m. each day with timed finals while Class AAA action commences at 3 p.m.

New iPad Power Indicator Inaccurate- How could it Get Any Worse?
We already reported on the many complaints of the iPad 3's battery that Apple reported as being the same or better than the last, although might be true, does not make the battery experience of the 3rd Generation iPad any better.
Having to power the A5X Chip and its powerful new retina display the battery life is reduced to that of the iPad 2. But that's not the problem. It's the charging. We did tests that showed that it could take 7 hours to charge your iPad 3's battery but it turns out it's even worse than that. On top of all the other issues (see video below) the iPad 3's battery indicator is falsely displaying a full charge with it allegedly taking another 2 hours and 11 minutes to fully charge the device.
This was found out by the famous display expert, Raymond Soneira who you might remember from our Retina Display video. He did extensive testing on the display and in turn discovered this disturbing fact about Apple's latest iDevice.
At 2:00 hours after reporting 100% charge, the new iPad hardware started to reduce the charging power. At 2:10 the recharging cycle fully terminated with a sharp decrease in power. The new iPad battery is truly fully recharged 2 hours and 10 minutes after prematurely reporting on screen that it was fully charged.
He said not to fear though, Apple should release an iOS update containing the fix soon to a phenomenon not just exclusive to the new iPad, with it being found on many Android tablets as well.
UPDATE: Apple released a statement saying that the inaccurate battery reading is intentional and that it is just a safety measure to protect the battery. They say that every iDevice has this but it is more noticeable on the 3rd Generation iPad because of the considerably larger battery. Battery experts have confirmed this, an event which they call "battery leaking". This happens when a device with a rechargeable battery hits full charge, drains a little (in this case to about 95%) and then charges up again. This "wash, rinse, repeat" cycle is made to protect the battery of these devices, including the iPad 3.
So what does this mean? Well, you won't have to wait any longer to charge your battery. It looks like Soneira should stick to what he's good at, displays. But this doesn't take away from the fact that you still have to wait a cool 7 hours to charge your battery, which is ridiculous when compared to other devices!
