The leak has been fixed, but now there is a hole in a ceiling.

Today is not so good. The ceiling has been leaking all night and good
part of the day, yet no one has fixed it. Hope some one will come soon.

The cops have cracked down bigtime on paparazzi — no, not the ones who
blow red lights. Not the ones who run cars off the road. Not the ones
who threaten to kill people who get in their way. The L.A. County
Sheriff’s Department is going after … sidewalk violators!!!

This night was a second night my neighbor was playing drums. Sometimes he plays electric guitar which is just as bad when I am trying to sleep. Calling police doesn’t work they just say that they have more important cases to take care of, but will send someone when this someone will be come available. No one ever comes and my neighbor continuous  to play drums knowing that we will do nothing about it. If anyone has any idea of how to deal with it, you are welcome to drop me a line. Just pleas don’t tell me to talk to me because I tried and it doesn’t work.

Project Name: ACNE
***For this study only, it is allowed to have recently participated in
another research study ***

We are looking for individuals 18-35 years old who suffer from acne and
are interested in participating in a product use test for a new acne
treatment in which you will be asked to use a product for 8 weeks.
During the course of your treatment, you will be required to attend (3) 45
minutes to 1-hour sessions in the Mission Valley area that will involve
picking up the product, taking photos, & filling out a short survey.
  The first session will take place on Wednesday, March 5th or Thursday,
March 6th. The second session will occur 4 weeks later and the 3rd
session will occur when you are finished with the treatment at the end of 8
weeks.

Qualified participants MUST be willing to stop all acne treatments at
least 1 week prior to your participation and throughout the duration of
the 8-week trial.  For attending each mandatory session, you will be
compensated a total of $225 ($75 for each session). If interested please
EMAIL US ONLY using the subject of Acne to sandiego@plazaresearch.com
with the following information to see if you qualify:
-  Your name & age
-  Phone number(s) & best time to be reached
- Which one of the following best describes your acne condition? Acute
acne, mild/moderate acne, or occasional blemishing?

A lack of vitamins and minerals in people’s diet could contribute to an
increased risk of cancer, according to Bruce Ames of the Children’s Hospital
Oakland Research Institute in California. He suggests vitamin supplements might
be a cheap and effective way to prevent diseases among most vulnerable groups.

What is this global warming thing again?

When coal, gas
and oil are burned, they produce carbon dioxide that builds up in the atmosphere
and traps the sun’s heat. Much of this greenhouse gas released today remains in
the atmosphere after even 100 years, trapping more and more heat.

So, it’s a bit warmer…why does
that matter?

Unless we reduce the pollution that causes global warming,
temperatures could climb between 2-10 degrees F this century. Such a rapid rise
in temperature would fundamentally reshape the planet’s climate, forever
changing the landscape and water resources people and wildlife depend upon.

For example, polar bears depend on ice to hunt for seals. However the
Arctic is melting at a rapid pace, making it harder and harder for the bears to
get food.

How will the
Climate Security Act reduce global warming
pollution?

The Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act not only sets
specific requirements for reducing global warming pollution, it also sets up how
power plants and other big emitters will reach this goal.

Starting within
four years, the bill will require a steady reduction in emissions year after
year, bringing America’s global warming pollution levels to 70% below current
levels by the year 2050.

By using a "cap-and-trade" system pioneered
under the Clean Air Act, the Climate Security Act sets up a flexible system
where businesses that reduce pollution will pay less for
tradable emission "allowances." This encourages innovation, advances clean
energy technologies and creates millions of "green collar" jobs across America.

Why is this bill so
important to protect wildlife?

By slashing global warming pollution, the bill helps slow and
stop global warming. Also, the tradable emission allowances from the
cap-and-trade system will generate billions of dollars in polluter payments. The
government will distribute this money in ways that boost wildlife conservation,
help families with their energy bills, bolster technology research and create
job opportunities.

Wildlife conservation efforts are facing new threats
from global warming. This bill makes an unprecedented investment in
protecting wildlife habitat and ensuring wildlife managers and projects get the
leg up they need.

Stay tuned to find out how you can help the National Wildlife Federation
pass the Climate Security Act!

Dear Larisa,

"It’s the most important wildlife
conservation legislation in history," said John Kostyack, NWF’s wildlife policy
expert.

"Really?" I could see this question in the eyes of many
in the room.

Could this new global warming bill–the Climate Security
Act–really be as big as the Endangered Species Act…or the Clean Water
Act…or the Clean Air Act? How?

"Well," said John, "Global
warming has the potential to wipe out all of the conservation victories of the
last century."

Endangered wildlife on the road to recovery could
face new challenges as global warming alters their habitat and way of life.
Waters that we once fought to protect could dry up from extreme drought.

This is why passing the Climate Security Act is the #1 priority
for the National Wildlife Federation.

This bill, introduced in
the Senate by Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and John Warner (R-VA), will be voted on in
the next few months.

Not only does the Climate Security Act take big
steps to cut the pollution that causes global warming, it also provides billions
of dollars to help wildlife survive a changing climate.

The National
Wildlife Federation will be working on all fronts to pass this legislation.
And we are going to need your help in getting this
done!

Please stay tuned to find out more about the Act and how
you can be a part of the campaign. Together we can make a difference and protect
America’s wildlife and wild places.

Thanks!

I’m just not going to stay silent while the nuclear energy industry convinces Congress my tax dollars should support their risky investments in new nuclear plants. Please join me in telling our elected officials to fix the energy bill. Go to:
