Dear Annie: I left my hll sband a month ago and have done my best to make it clear that I no longer want a life with him. He did not cheat or abuse me. but our lifestyles are in~ompati­ ble. I do not foresee reconciliation. Still ; my soonto-be ex continues to call and tell me · how his day went and what\ going on at his job. How can I make the separation any clearer without being overly harsh? We have two young children, and I would Iike our relationship to be civil but distant. - Trying To Cut the Cord Dear Trying: It is in your children's best inter, est for you to maintain a ' reasonably friendly relationship with their father . who obviously needs inore tinie to adjust to the separation. A month isn't that long, He misses you. but will eventually call less frequently as he moves on with his life. Meanwhile, we hope you can be patient and allow him to continue calling to briefly discu.ss his day. After you've let him talk . for a few minutes, put the children .on the phon'e so they can speak to Daddy. When they are finished, tell him, "I'm really busy now. I'll talk to you another time."

In the last year it was oP.I?n to outside inmates, the vtllage generated around $20,000 in housing fees from other law enforcement agencies.

Sheriff Robert Beegle, whose own budget has taken a hit due to an increase in outside housing and travel expenses, said the county now pays $55 per day to Washington County to house poth men and women. The Southeast Regional Jail in Nelsonville will also accept . prisoners from Pomeroy and the county sheriff's department, but charges $65 - and soon will charge $70 per day.

Dear Annie: I left my hll sband a month ago and have done my best to make it clear that I no longer want a life with him. He did not cheat or abuse me. but our lifestyles are in~ompati­ ble. I do not foresee reconciliation. Still ; my soonto-be ex continues to call and tell me · how his day went and what\ going on at his job. How can I make the separation any clearer without being overly harsh? We have two young children, and I would Iike our relationship to be civil but distant. - Trying To Cut the Cord Dear Trying: It is in your children's best inter, est for you to maintain a ' reasonably friendly relationship with their father . who obviously needs inore tinie to adjust to the separation. A month isn't that long, He misses you. but will eventually call less frequently as he moves on with his life. Meanwhile, we hope you can be patient and allow him to continue calling to briefly discu.ss his day. After you've let him talk . for a few minutes, put the children .on the phon'e so they can speak to Daddy. When they are finished, tell him, "I'm really busy now. I'll talk to you another time."

Dr. Jeffry Ltfe stands in jeans, his shirt off. His face is that of a distinguished-looking grandpa; his head is balding, and what hair there is is white. But his 69-year-old body looks like it belongs to a muscle-bound 30-year-old. The photo regularly runs in ads for the Cenegenics Medical Institute, a Las Ve'gas-based clinic that specializes in "age management," a growing field in a society obsessed with staymg young. Life, who swears that's his real last name, also keeps a framed copy of the photo on his office wall at Cenegemcs. "He's the man!" patient Ed Detwiler says teasmgly, pointing to the photo of the doctor who, in many ways, has become his role model. Detwiler, 47 , has been Life's patient for more than three years. In that time, he has adopted the regimen that his doctor also follows -: drastically changing his exerctse and eating habits and injecting himself each day with human growth hormone. He also rece1ves weekly testosterone injections. He does it because it malces hiJ;n feel better, more energetic, clear-minded He does 11 because he wants to live a long, healthy life "If I were stooped over and bedridden, what kind of quality of life is that?" asks Detwiler, a real estate developer in suburban Las Vegas who says he's domg this, in part. for his wife, who is nme years younger. "If I can get out and be active and travel and sec; the world and be able to make a difference tn other people's lives, then yes, I would want to have as long ljll \)xistence as possible." It is a common.sentiment in a society where many of us strive to look and feel decades younger - to prove to ourselves and the world that we are healthier and more vital than our parents were, at our age. We've all heard it: 60 is the new 50, the new 40 and so on. But often, we need a little help. Sometimes, a lot of help. As the baby boomers march toward retirement, Botox, wrinkle fillers and hormones of ·various kinds have become big business. Medea's latest drug trend report shows, for instance, that human growth hormone use gre. w almost 6 percent m 1JXJ7. The list for age"llefying tactics is endless.

But for a generation of adults who've been weaned on the modern marketmg message .:... that for a price. you can have it all - the quest 1s taking on a new wgency. There is', of course, much to be said for taking good care of yourself. Eating healthy and exercising your body and your brain regularly are eonsidered tried-and-ttue tactics for staying young. Protecting yourself from harmful sun rays is another. Even flossing teeth ts a habit that, according to research on people who live to 100. might extend life. But that's generally where the consensus ends. Many m mainstream medt· cme and elsewhere .,.,orry that • we're becoming too focused on treatments with short-tenn benefits that have potentially dang ·mus stde effect' and scant, it any, evtdence that they'll help in the long run. In doing so, they wonder if some · people are actually Jeopardizmg their chance at a long . healthy hie, both physically and emotionally ''The quest to hve forever and the desire to avoid dJseases and not suffer" is understandable, says S.

"There's a large industry of people trying to sell to people what doesn't 'yet extst and they're making gobs of money doing it - much to the dismay of those of us who are vtgilant about protecting public health," he says. There also are concerns that this obsession is. sending the wrong me8sage 10 younger generations. ' Surveys from cosmetic surgery trade groups suggest that sizable numbers of peapie, even in thetr 20s, are getting cosmetic procedures. And a fall 2007 swvey from TRU. a research finn that spectaltzes in the teenage ,demographtc. found that a quarter of young people, 12 to 19 - and a third of girls m that age group - are interested in having cosmetic surgery to 1mprove their appearance Michael Wood, vice president and director of syndicaled research at TRU, was a btl startled by the results. ''There's no doubt that the celebration of youth and lookmg younger has certmnly accelerated in the last I0 years, five''years even," Wood says. "And this is a generation that's growmg up with that at a very young age." The effect has been palpable, says Neil Howe, a respected generational expert who has written extensively about "millennials," young ~pie who are coming of age tit this century. "I guess even young isn't enough anymore," Howe says. "It's got to be 'perfect' young." Alex Sabbag, a 23-year-old Chicagoan, has felt the pressure, both self-imposed and societaL "I'll age until I'm 25.

And plastic swgery and other cosmetic procedures are part of it. She's never had anythmg done, though wouldn't rule it out m the futiire. She also vividly recalls how her mother left borne for several dAys, when Sabbag was m elementary school, and returned after , having a face lift. "I think it gives women and men alike worlds of confidence that ultimate!~ malces them better people,' Sabbag says.

But the claims are much the same - "lots of energy" and feeling "sharp," says Brian Delaney, a 45-year-old Califomia-bom writer now hvmg m Sweden. He's the president of the group that claims about 2,000 members worldwide and many more followers who use the method m hopes of markedly increasing their longevtty. By cutting daily calones to about 1,900, roughly half the recommended amount for someone his hetght and age, and exercismg every day, ))elaney has shrunk himself to about 140 pounds. He says his blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels have improved dramatically. At 5 foot II , he admits he's "scrawny,'' whJch he calls the main drawback. Hunger and wearing extra clothes to stay warm because of little body fat or, he clmms, an effect of slowed aging -. are barely annoyances for Delaney. He says he eats senstbly, replacing JUnk food wtth lots of frutl~ and vegetables. no meat, and two meals daily no lunch.

Dr. Jeffry Ltfe stands in jeans, his shirt off. His face is that of a distinguished-looking grandpa; his head is balding, and what hair there is is white. But his 69-year-old body looks like it belongs to a muscle-bound 30-year-old. The photo regularly runs in ads for the Cenegenics Medical Institute, a Las Ve'gas-based clinic that specializes in "age management," a growing field in a society obsessed with staymg young. Life, who swears that's his real last name, also keeps a framed copy of the photo on his office wall at Cenegemcs. "He's the man!" patient Ed Detwiler says teasmgly, pointing to the photo of the doctor who, in many ways, has become his role model. Detwiler, 47 , has been Life's patient for more than three years. In that time, he has adopted the regimen that his doctor also follows -: drastically changing his exerctse and eating habits and injecting himself each day with human growth hormone. He also rece1ves weekly testosterone injections. He does it because it malces hiJ;n feel better, more energetic, clear-minded He does 11 because he wants to live a long, healthy life "If I were stooped over and bedridden, what kind of quality of life is that?" asks Detwiler, a real estate developer in suburban Las Vegas who says he's domg this, in part. for his wife, who is nme years younger. "If I can get out and be active and travel and sec; the world and be able to make a difference tn other people's lives, then yes, I would want to have as long ljll \)xistence as possible." It is a common.sentiment in a society where many of us strive to look and feel decades younger - to prove to ourselves and the world that we are healthier and more vital than our parents were, at our age. We've all heard it: 60 is the new 50, the new 40 and so on. But often, we need a little help. Sometimes, a lot of help. As the baby boomers march toward retirement, Botox, wrinkle fillers and hormones of ·various kinds have become big business. Medea's latest drug trend report shows, for instance, that human growth hormone use gre. w almost 6 percent m 1JXJ7. The list for age"llefying tactics is endless.

There is', of course, much to be said for taking good care of yourself. Eating healthy and exercising your body and your brain regularly are eonsidered tried-and-ttue tactics for staying young. Protecting yourself from harmful sun rays is another. Even flossing teeth ts a habit that, according to research on people who live to 100. might extend life. But that's generally where the consensus ends.

''There's no doubt that the celebration of youth and lookmg younger has certmnly accelerated in the last I0 years, five''years even," Wood says.

Rowling launched "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" on Thursday with a tea party for 200 school children at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh , where she lives . The author is donating royalties from the book to a charity, which hopes it will raise millions to help vulnerable children. Recession-hit booksellers hope the book .,-- a coiiection of five fables men. tioned in Rawling's saga about boy wizard Harry Potter - will give them a festive boost · · "We expect it to come straight in at No. I and is · very likely to be our No: I book this Christmas," said Jon Howells of Britain's Waterstone 's book store chain . "It's in with a fighting chance of being the best-selling book of the year, even though there are only a few weeks to go. "This is J .K. Row ling. None of the u_sual rules apply,'-' he said. "Beedle the Bard" is being published Thursday in more than 20 countries, with a global print run of almost 8 million. But is gencrating only a fraction of the fanfare that greeted the Potter novels. . Rowling is donating. her royalties to the Children 's High Level Group, a charity she co-founded to suppott institutionalized children in Eastern Europe. The book is published on behalf of the charity by Harry Potter's traditional publishers Scholastic in North America and Bloomsbury elsewhere. Rowling, whose Harry Potter books have sold more than 400 million copies and been translated into 67 lan·guages, wrote the Beedle tales after finishing "Deathly Hallows" last year. One of the stories, "The Tale Of The Three Brothers," is recounted in "Deathly Hallows," in Which the storybook helps ' Harry and his friends defeat evil Lord Voldemort. Rowling has described "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" as a distillation of the themes found in th e Harry Potter books. calling it her goodbye to a world she lived in for 17 years. The book was initially · produced last year in an edition of seven handwrit ten copies. Six were given away by Rowling as gifts. and one was bought by Internet retail'er Amazon at an auction fur almost 2 million pounds ($3 mil lion). Rowling told the school children at the launch that she published the book afte r coqtplaints from · readers over the sale. "There was quite a lot of high feeling from Harry Potter fans that only someone who had . 2 million pounds could afford to read the book." she said . "I thought : 'fair point,' so ! thought I'll publish it and then the charity can have that money too." Rowling read a passage from the tales to her young audience, which . was given free copies of book. Amazon is printing 100,000 copies of a leatherbound collectors ' edition priced at 50 pounds, or $100 in the United States. Give the gift of inspiration with new cookbooks way.

Rowling launched "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" on Thursday with a tea party for 200 school children at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh , where she lives . The author is donating royalties from the book to a charity, which hopes it will raise millions to help vulnerable children. Recession-hit booksellers hope the book .,-- a coiiection of five fables men. tioned in Rawling's saga about boy wizard Harry Potter - will give them a festive boost · · "We expect it to come straight in at No. I and is · very likely to be our No: I book this Christmas," said Jon Howells of Britain's Waterstone 's book store chain . "It's in with a fighting chance of being the best-selling book of the year, even though there are only a few weeks to go. "This is J .K. Row ling. None of the u_sual rules apply,'-' he said. "Beedle the Bard" is being published Thursday in more than 20 countries, with a global print run of almost 8 million. But is gencrating only a fraction of the fanfare that greeted the Potter novels. . Rowling is donating. her royalties to the Children 's High Level Group, a charity she co-founded to suppott institutionalized children in Eastern Europe. The book is published on behalf of the charity by Harry Potter's traditional publishers Scholastic in North America and Bloomsbury elsewhere. Rowling, whose Harry Potter books have sold more than 400 million copies and been translated into 67 lan·guages, wrote the Beedle tales after finishing "Deathly Hallows" last year. One of the stories, "The Tale Of The Three Brothers," is recounted in "Deathly Hallows," in Which the storybook helps ' Harry and his friends defeat evil Lord Voldemort. Rowling has described "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" as a distillation of the themes found in th e Harry Potter books. calling it her goodbye to a world she lived in for 17 years. The book was initially · produced last year in an edition of seven handwrit ten copies. Six were given away by Rowling as gifts. and one was bought by Internet retail'er Amazon at an auction fur almost 2 million pounds ($3 mil lion). Rowling told the school children at the launch that she published the book afte r coqtplaints from · readers over the sale. "There was quite a lot of high feeling from Harry Potter fans that only someone who had . 2 million pounds could afford to read the book." she said . "I thought : 'fair point,' so ! thought I'll publish it and then the charity can have that money too." Rowling read a passage from the tales to her young audience, which . was given free copies of book. Amazon is printing 100,000 copies of a leatherbound collectors ' edition priced at 50 pounds, or $100 in the United States. Give the gift of inspiration with new cookbooks way.

English holly (!lex aq uifolium ) has been a symbol of Christmas for centuries in Europe. Fashioned il)to wreaths, its spiny leaves and red berries symbolized a crown of thorns and drops of blood. Its green leaves and ability lo produce fruit even in coldest winter evoked the promise of everlasting life . When European seltlers , arrived in America. their Christmas tradition continued with American holly (!lex opaca), which grows all along. the East Coast. from Florida to Maine. Holly at Chrislmastime became so popular in the early 20th cenlury that it spurred a rash of thefts from private landscapes and forests. Holly trees were cut down and removed, and fashioned into decorations that were sold. Maryland and Delaware passed laws prohibiting the sale of fresh holly in an effort to stop the vandal ism and preserve the natural landscape. Long before the seltlers found a decorative use for holly. Native Americans brewed tea made of holly leaves to treat coughs. The berries were used for buttons or left for animal consumption. , . . They are an 'important source of winter food for many birds. although they are toxic to humans. Hollies are slow growers but can eventually reach a height of 40 to 50 feet, with a spread of 18 to 30 feet . They require both male and female plants to produce berries . While botb produce creamy white flowers in late spring, only the females produce fruit. One male plant is required for pollinating up to eight female trees , A ratio of I :3 male to female trees is about lhe optimum number for pollination and production of berries. Some varieties produce yellow berries . so if you are growing holly fot traditional holiday decorations and want red, check the label or buy when the berries are on the plant · to be sure of their color and if it is a female plant. Hollies like full sun aod acidic soil with a pH of 3.5 to 6. They will tolerate partial shade, buJ may develop leaf spot · diseases and prod.uce fewer berries. Unpruned. their natural .form is a pleasing pyramidal shape, but if you must prune, note that berries appear on the current year's growth. Pruning is best done in December: pruning after !lowers form in the spring will mean fewer berries. The Romans gave boughs of hollies to friends during the Festival of Saturn. the winter solstice holiday celebrated in late December. It was meant to bring protection and good luck .

Heat dissipates too easily from a small pile - one less than 3 feet on a side - · and heat is lost as rapidly as it produced from · a pile built very slowly.

If the herd is sluggish, perhaps the pile needs moisture or more nitrogen - manure or a sprinkling of fertilizer - to get cranking. · TEMPERATURE ISN ' T EVERYTHING Whether the herd works quickly. or slowll, however, any pile o organic malerials eventually turns to compost. So don't worry if your pile never gets a fever. A,t lower temperatures, the process is · merely slower. It is a combination of temperature and time that does in bad guys. such as diseased plants, within the pile. If an hour at 1~0 degrees kills . a pathogen, that pathogen might still die at 120 degrees in 24 hours, even at a balmy 100 degrees in a week.

English holly (!lex aq uifolium ) has been a symbol of Christmas for centuries in Europe. Fashioned il)to wreaths, its spiny leaves and red berries symbolized a crown of thorns and drops of blood. Its green leaves and ability lo produce fruit even in coldest winter evoked the promise of everlasting life . When European seltlers , arrived in America. their Christmas tradition continued with American holly (!lex opaca), which grows all along. the East Coast. from Florida to Maine. Holly at Chrislmastime became so popular in the early 20th cenlury that it spurred a rash of thefts from private landscapes and forests. Holly trees were cut down and removed, and fashioned into decorations that were sold. Maryland and Delaware passed laws prohibiting the sale of fresh holly in an effort to stop the vandal ism and preserve the natural landscape. Long before the seltlers found a decorative use for holly. Native Americans brewed tea made of holly leaves to treat coughs. The berries were used for buttons or left for animal consumption. , . . They are an 'important source of winter food for many birds. although they are toxic to humans. Hollies are slow growers but can eventually reach a height of 40 to 50 feet, with a spread of 18 to 30 feet . They require both male and female plants to produce berries . While botb produce creamy white flowers in late spring, only the females produce fruit. One male plant is required for pollinating up to eight female trees , A ratio of I :3 male to female trees is about lhe optimum number for pollination and production of berries. Some varieties produce yellow berries . so if you are growing holly fot traditional holiday decorations and want red, check the label or buy when the berries are on the plant · to be sure of their color and if it is a female plant. Hollies like full sun aod acidic soil with a pH of 3.5 to 6. They will tolerate partial shade, buJ may develop leaf spot · diseases and prod.uce fewer berries. Unpruned. their natural .form is a pleasing pyramidal shape, but if you must prune, note that berries appear on the current year's growth. Pruning is best done in December: pruning after !lowers form in the spring will mean fewer berries. The Romans gave boughs of hollies to friends during the Festival of Saturn. the winter solstice holiday celebrated in late December. It was meant to bring protection and good luck . The Druids believed that hollies represented 'toresight: facing hardships or sacrifices now for something better in the future·.

Harnessing the Mississippi River 's flow for electrical generation isn't new : A 134-megawatt hydroelectric plant by St. Louis-based AmerenUE, .for instance, has been run. ning since '1913 at Keokuk, Iowa. · Develope'rs see even more potential, however. Mass ac h use t t s- based Free Flow Power Corp. is studyi ng the prospects of planting thousands of small electric turbines in the river bed at 55 si te s .from St. Louis to the Gulf of . Mexico. figuring together they could generate enough power to supply 1.5 million homes. The private startup says ·the cumulative .output of 1,600 megawatts would be HAMILTON - Many decades ago, cost-conscious Henry Ford turned to hydroelectric plants to power his car factories like the one by the Great Miami River, near this Cincinnati suburb . That assembly plant is long gone, but the power plant and the. tec.hnology behind it isn't. Far from it. The push to get electricity from moving water is only picking up steam. There is mounting politi. cal pressure to ge l more energy from alternative sources and developers are pushing ambitious projects to exp loit America's biggest rivers for power. "Some of these applications have been around for decades, but there 's renewed interest now," said Jeff Hawk , spokesman . for the U.S. Army COI]lS of Engineers' Pittsburgh district. "We've seen a spurt of applications; we're busier now than ever." · A new . generation of low -impact hydroelectric · plants is expected to light up the Ohio River Valley. Along the Mi ssissi ppi River, a city and a small ., startup firm have separate ' hopes of harnessi ng that artery's energy potential either through a few big turbines or thousands of tiny, submerged ones. Water is already the leading renewable energy source used by utilities· to ge nera.te electric power. The recent credit crisis has not been a concern for most. "One thing that is certain is that this will pass," said Dan Irvin, behind one of the ventures planned for the Mississippi R!ver. "If you were financtng any energy project at the . moment, you'd have your hands full. But.we're looking out far enough, and we carry conservative enough assumptions, that we feel very comfortable." American Municipal Power-Ohio is a nonprofit wholesale power supplier for 123 municipal systems in Ohio, ' Kentucky , Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virgini~ and Michigan. It already owns a hydro plant on the Ohio River and is involved iri developing five more . In Hamilton , Ohio ; where the Ford plant once stood, the city Qought the hydro power plant in 1963 , acquired a second one on the Ohio River a few years later and may soon build another just upriver from Cincinnati. Hydro gives the 30,000 customers of the .cityowned utility the lowest electricity rate in Ohio , and officials think that Hamilton can become virtually all-.hydro. The price tag :, $450 million over 40 years. "The cost is in construction . Once the project's built, that's it ," said Linda Church Ciocci , executive director of the National Hydropower Association, a Washington-based trade group. "There 's no fuel cost · associated , with hydropower." Hamilton 's 30,000 residential customers pay 9.7 cents per kilowatt-hour, a couple cents more than the average in . Washington state, where 70 percent of its electricity comes from . hydropower. There are 20 navigation and flood control dams on the Ohio River along its 981 miles from Pittsburgh to Cairo, Ill. Hydro plants at six of the dams already .are producing electricity, with a generating capacity . of more than 300 megawatts; four more that have been licensed would double that perhap~ be on linein2013 . The . principle behind hydro is simple. Moving ·water spins the blades of a turbine, which turns a generator shaft. A fall of less than 30 feet, the height of mos.t Ohio River dams, is the equivalent. of three small coal-fired power plants or one or two nuclear ones. Toe plan. with a possible $3 billion price tag, uses hydrokinetics - electrical generation from river currents or ocean waves. The river's flow would spiri submerged turbines about two feet in diameter and perhaps made of carbon fiber or some other lightweight source durable enough to withstand being hit by debris swept downriver while not interfering with barge traffic . ~'It's elegant, it's simple," says Irvin, Free Flow's chief executive and . a former investment banker. His company screened some 80,000 river sites across the country. Preliminary ·permits that Free Flow Power already has from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission give the startup first right to seek operating licenses for projects at those-. locations while giving it three years to do environmental and technical studies. Sternberg, a Janet Missouri Department of Conservation policy coordinator, · urged FERC months ago to not move too hastily on ·such projects until . more about hydrokinetics is known. "People saw the Mississippi as an .opportunity ....;, here 's ·a big river with a lot of free-flowing ":'ater," Sternberg told The A4>sociated Press. "Is this a good place .to install this type of energy?" Irvin calls such debate healthy. "We have no objection to the careful scrutiny and scientific question," Irvin said. Stressing that Free Flow's turbines would turn only with the speed of the river, "we're pretty comfortable that what we're proposing is going to be completely benign to fish." Up the river in Quincy, Ill., which hugs the . Mississippi's eastern bank, · Mayor John Spring thinks installing hydroelectric turbines on three locks and · .dams could produce 55 megawatts of power enough to supply the city's 16,000 homes. Quincy's plan - already siglieil off on by the City Council and with preliminary permits from ·FERC - could cost about $200 million . By the end of this fiscal year, which . ends next May, Quincy - a city with an operations budget of $30 million - will have put $1.4 million into the effort. ~·we'd like to make this part of our state the poster child for hydroelectricity in our country," Spring said. "Normally, you'd never see an entity this size take on such a gigantic project. But I think it's the future , and it's the. right thing to do:" (Associated Press Writer Jim Suhr reported from St. Louis).
