how many professional athletes have been
sidelined lately by
concussions? Experts
have. Since the problem also affects youth
sports from soccer to
transaction. It makes
everything run so
much smoother, and
my borrowers can get
into a home with little
or no money down, no
closing costs, and even
a credit for escrows.”
“Generally, we look
at three categories
to qualify for a loan.
The first category is
credit. We can offer
financing for credit
scores as low as 600.
The second category
is down payment. We
have programs with
no money down, or as
little as 3 1/2 % down.
The third and final test
is income. Our guidelines allow for cosigners and expanded
debt to income ratios.
As long as the loan
makes
sense,
we
should be able to help
our clients”, states Mr.

( N A P S A ) - W h i l e
high heat can drain
your energy, increase
your utility bills and
make your AC work
overtime, there are
simple ways you can
save energy without
compromising comfort.
Try fighting back
against heat in your
home with these tips:
• Install a programmable
thermostat:
There’s no need to
keep the AC blasting
while you’re away. A
programmable thermostat can help you
time your AC use and
cut up to 20 percent
from your cooling bill.
• Change your lightbulbs: CFL and LED
lightbulbs give off
significantly less heat
than
incandescents
and use less energy.
If you don’t want to
replace all your bulbs
at once, prioritize the
hottest or most frequently used rooms
of your home. Longer-lasting LED bulbs
are good for hard- toreach places, such as
in garages or high ceilings.
• Use appliances
wisely: Avoid using
the oven if you canfire up the grill instead
to keep the heat outdoors. Check if your
dishwasher has a nonheated drying setting
and if it does, use it.
Save clothes drying
for nighttime-or, better
yet, hang the wash on
a clothesline. They’ll
smell fresher, too.
• Use a fan: It costs
just pennies an hour to
operate and can make
a room feel four to
six degrees cooler-it’s
low tech and low cost.
While some believe a
fan cools the room by
drawing in fresh air, it
really works by helping perspiration evaporate from your skin,
so there’s no need to
keep it running when
you’re not around.
• Check for duct
leaks: Your AC’s efficiency can be affected
if ductwork isn’t properly balanced. Call an
HVAC
professional
to have your system
examined, and while
they’re at your home,
they can perform any
necessary tune-ups to
the AC itself.
• Control sunlight
in your house: If it
feels drab to shut out
sunlight with drapes
or blinds, consider
installing a heat-rejecting window film.
These films can help
keep your home cooler, reduce energy use
and protect your furnishings from UV

(NAPSA)-According to the Environmental
Protection
Agency (EPA), 50 percent of an average U.S.
home’s energy bill can
be linked directly to
cooling and heating
costs, which amounts
to
approximately
$1,100 per year, depending on location.
Installing an energy-efficient
cooling
and heating system
can be one of the most
significant up_grades
a homeowner can
make to save on these
utility costs.
A new development
in home cooling and
heating systems offers
that chance. This new
line of ductless cooling
and heating systems is
described as the most
energy efficient available.
The
Hyper-Heating
INVERTER(tm)
(H2i(r)) MSZ-FH Models from Mitsubishi
Electric US Cooling &
Heating Division (Mitsubishi Electric) have
the highest efficiency
ratings for cooling and
heating systems at 30.5
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio).
H2i MSZ-FH Models
are the best way to
cool and heat a home,
using up to 40 percent
less energy per room
than a traditional central air system.

Ultimately, orthodontics does more than

openbites can result

habits and speech im-
When Is The Best Time
To Begin Orthodontics?
By the age 7, the first
adult molars erupt,
establishing the back
bite. During this time,
an orthondontist can
evaluate front to back
and side to side tooth
relationships. For example, the presence of
erupting incisors can
indicate possible overbite, open bite, crowding or gummy smiles.
Timely screening increases the chances for
an incredible smile.
What are the advantages of interceptive
treatment?
Creating room for
crowded, erupting
teeth, creating facial
symmetry through influencing jaw growth,
reducing the risk of
trauma to protruding
front teeth, reserving
space for unerupted
teeth, reducing the
need for extractions,
reducing treatment
time with braces.
Orthodontics is not
merely for improving the aesthetics of
the smile; orthodontic
treatment improves
bad bites (malocclusions). Malocclusions
occur as a result of
tooth or jaw misalignment. Malocclusions
affect the way you
smile, chew, clean your
teeth or feel about your
smile.
According to studies by the American
Association of Orthodontics, untreated malocclusions can result in
a variety of problems:
C r o w d e d t e e t h
are more difficult to
properly brush and
floss, which may contribute to tooth decay
and/or gum disease,
protruding teeth are
more susceptible to
accidental chipping,
crossbites can result
in unfavorable growth

of thumb, he advises,
steering and suspension systems should
be checked at least
once a year and wheels
should be aligned at

are common should be
prepared to have these
systems checked more
frequently.
