Across the country customers are raving about the greatness of Pearls Premium. Homeowner Cynthia Y. She says, "It was easy to do! I love the low maintenance of it all, because I now cut the grass only once a month to look like this. I have better things to do with my time than cutting the grass. I also want to save our precious and limited drinking water."

Like many others, Cynthia has found the secret to maintaining the perfect lawn all summer long, Pearls Premium grass seed. Maintaining Pearls Premium takes only a small amount of time and requires far less water, which eases the burden on homeowners pocket books.

Pearls Premium can be planted right over an existing lawn to create a new lawn that will look amazing in spite of heat and water bans this summer.

According to Dr. Alex Lu of the Harvard School of Public Health, many chemicals present in lawns have been linked to an increased risk of learning and behavioral problems for children, as well as increased risk for Asthma, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease, Sexual Dysfunction, Cancer and Leukemia.

What to do? The secret to great grass is when and what to plant along with a few other best management tips like mowing 3.5 inches tall, leave the clippings, always use a sharp blade, deeply and infrequently water and use a better deep root seed. Some say, starting with the right seed is one of the most important parts of a good lawn. The right seed can help address global health and lessen climate change with extreme deep roots to sequester carbon out of the air.

Timing: Plant in the next three weeks for warm climates and for the next 6 weeks in cooler climates. Plant longer using the Hydro-seeding method. There is a new game changing, breakthrough grass that recently won a National Award for innovation. It turns out that you can easily and dramatically improve your lawn after the most intense two years of weather droughts and floods in recorded history for 60% of US.

The Northport City Council unanimously approved a new fence ordinance Monday that places restrictions on fence construction. Residential fences can be no higher than eight feet in the backyard and no higher than four feet in the front yard.

A city permit is now required to build a fence in Northport.

The Northport City Council unanimously approved a new fence ordinance Monday that places restrictions on fence construction. Residential fences can be no higher than eight feet in the backyard and no higher than four feet in the front yard and cannot obstruct sight distances. For a commercial property, fences can be no more than 10 feet tall. Any fence eight feet or higher must be inspected by the city.

We are just wanting to put together something in policy form, said City Council President Jay Logan. To me, its a needed ordinance.

Northport did not have a fence ordinance previously, Logan said.

But, not everyone was happy with the idea. Councilwoman Judy Hayes said she was concerned with making people pay for a fence permit. It will cost $15 for a residential permit and $20 for a commercial fence permit.

People are complaining about the city restricting what they can do in their own yards, Hayes said. If we are forcing them to abide by new regulations, I dont feel like they should have to pay a fee.

But, the fee will recuperate city expenses from the permit, including inspection costs, Logan said.

The fence regulation only pertains to new fences or fences that are more than 50 percent damaged.

People can still do repairs on their existing fence without a permit, said Councilman Bart Harper.

2014-06-03 08:47 Blantyre - Malawi President Peter Mutharika said on Monday economic stability and national unity would be the focus of his government as he became the fifth leader of the southern African state following a disputed election.

Mutharika, declared the winner of the 20 May election last week, said his administration would target annual economic growth of 7% and promised a lean cabinet of 20, including deputy ministers - half the size of previous governments.

"We are determined to change the direction of the economy. This is why ...I chose a running mate outside of political ranks," Mutharika said in his inauguration speech.

The new vice president, Saulos Chilima, is an economist and former Managing Director of telecommunications firm Airtel, a local unit of Bharti Airtel.

Logistical problems

Mutharika, a former law professor, also sought to mend fences with his predecessor Joyce Banda, who at one point disputed the validity of the vote and demanded a re-run. Banda did not attend Mutharika's inauguration in the commercial capital, Blantyre.

"I look forward to shaking hands with her to bury the past. I come to her with an olive branch. Don't let it drop," Mutharika said.

The poll, which was plagued by logistical problems and followed by sporadic protests, was declared generally "free, peaceful and credible" by a Southern African Development Community observer mission.

Mutharika, 74, is the brother of president Bingu wa Mutharika, who died in office in April 2012.

India and the US should engage with each other in defence and other areas. Brinkmanship on IPR issues is best avoided

The astounding mandate secured by Narendra Modi has led scholars and commentators to focus on what more the US can do to win Indias favour. While some argue that the Obama administration ought to modi-fy its advance, others recommend developing a new relationship with India.

In most instances, punditry appears focused on the immediate future, perhaps for good reason. Commentators seem sold on Modis campaign slogan that the good days are coming. Getting on the right side of the new Prime Ministers expected economic and fiscal turn is considered chief priority for most governments, especially the US, which had banned Modi from its shores.

The current state of political transition in India offers an opportunity to ask questions that look past immediate concerns. This is, of course, not to suggest that efforts designed to overcome the touchy issue of a visa ban on Modi are not important.

Personal anguish can make all the difference in state-to-state relations. Conviction on the part of incumbents is sometimes the key to unforeseeable advancements, a point clearly illustrated by the determination shown by President George W Bush and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in negotiating a landmark civil-nuclear agreement between 2005 and 2008.

Yet, the exaggerated focus on how best an Obama White House may reach out to a Modi-led PMO risks losing sight of what this crucial relationship means for world politics in a more general sense.

Indeed, there is little doubt that India-US relations will strengthen. It maybe joyless, as Ashley Tellis, senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, persuasively argues, but it will be productive nonetheless.

There is an urgent need to address differences pertaining to intellectual property standards. India is one of 10 countries listed on the priority watch list of the United States Trade Representatives (USTR) annual report. The key issue, according to it, has to do with Indias weak IPR legal framework and enforcement system which hamper Indias innovation climate. This is most acute, according to the report, in areas such as pharmaceuticals and agro-chemicals, where it is difficult to secure and enforce patents.

In turn, the BJPs retort is unrelenting. During the campaign, Hardeep Puri, the former Indian ambassador to the UN and now a party member, made it clear that the report is extra-constitutional.

Even special provisions such as settling matters prior to an out-of-cycle review were put down by Puri as nonsense. The answer, according to him, lay in taking the matter to the World Trade Organisations dispute settlement body. Rather than resort to brinkmanship, simply because this is a determined US-led initiative, it would be prudent to engage the US bilaterally to arrest such divergence.

Time to mend fences with the US

The National Party has announced that Alfred Ngaro will be its candidate for the Te Atatu electorate at the 2014 General Election.

Mr Ngaro was selected by a meeting of local party members tonight.

"Alfred has been tireless in representing Aucklands diversity, ensuring that all communities have a strong voice in Government. His experience makes him an outstanding candidate, and he will be a great representative for Te Atatu if elected in September," said Northern Regional Chair Andrew Hunt.

"National won the party vote here last time and well be working hard to do it again by getting all our supporters in Te Atatu out to vote."

"I also want to thank Tau Henare for his dedication to the electorate as a List MP over the past nine years."

Mr Ngaro said he was honoured to receive the nomination and was looking forward to the challenge ahead.

"Its incredibly humbling to be chosen to contest the seat for National and Te Atatus communities," said Mr Ngaro.

"Under John Keys leadership, this National-led Government is delivering real opportunities for West Aucklanders.

"Weve been focussed on bringing more jobs and better public services to the region, and I am committed to ensuring that Te Atatu has a strong local voice in National at the election."

Republicans and Democrats have decided on their candidates in the race to replace Precinct 4 County Commissioner Tommy Adkisson: KROV-FM general manager Democrat Tommy Calvert and Republican Tim Wilson, mayor of Kirby, will face off in November.

The field for the two major parties originally crowded with nine candidates was narrowed in last week's primary runoff elections as Wilson edged Windcrest mayor Alan Baxter with 52 percent of the vote in the Republican primary and Calvert cruised past SAISD board member Debra Guerrero with 65 percent of the Democratic vote.

Matt Lerma of the Green Party, the third candidate on the November ballot, was nominated by convention March 15.

For his part, Wilson, who's also a CPS Energy electrician, said that if elected, he wants to focus on diverting the county's focus from big projects to more basic needs.

This government shouldn't be about special projects, special interests, and special areas of the county, Wilson said. Stuff like streetcars, the San Pedro creeks are these the best things to be spending hundreds of millions of dollars on?

It's time to fasten our belts, and that begins at the top, Wilson added. We need to sit down and come up with a plan to prioritize what we actually need.

This means focusing on expanded fire and police coverage for the 60-plus unincorporated neighborhoods across Precinct 4, Wilson said. He also plans to push for basic improvements to infrastructure, such as road repairs and street lighting.

We need to fight for street lights in neighborhoods, Wilson noted. We have kids walking home, playing out there at night, and lights make that safer for them.

Police and fire (coverage), that has to be No. 1, he added. That's what people expect.

Calvert said that if elected in November, he was looking forward to fighting for a neglected area.
