A new study links global warming to longer ragweed seasons, higher pollen counts, and thus, more severe symptoms among allergy-sufferers. In response, Sylvane, Inc., a leading online supplier of solutions for a healthy indoor environment, is stressing the importance of using a high-quality air purifier to reduce adverse symptoms caused by this environmental occurrence.

According to the academy, the earth's increasing temperatures and higher sustained carbon dioxide levels result in "longer pollen seasons, greater exposure, and increased disease burden for late summer weeds, including ragweed."...

Protecting consumers is a noble goal, says Andrew Housser, co-founder and co-CEO of online consumer portal Bills.com (www.bills.com) -- but Americans now face the risk that protection could go too far, which in turn could restrict credit so that some consumers would be unable to borrow or own a home.

"Rock and roll defines our modern era more than any other art form-its been at the heart of our evolution and revolution as teenagers since Elvis in the '50s. My book would be incomplete without the accompaniment of songs that define the angst, detail the desires, and celebrate the exhilaration of surviving this zit-laden minefield," says Parker.
Parker sees his hero, John Smith, as a daydreaming, confused thirteen-year-old just entering those insecure and dreaded teenage years.
