Morre, a slang specialist at the University of South Florida in Tampa, can explain. "While the meaning (of cool) is modified from time to time, there is a core meaning of disdain or aloofness or 'I don't he says. "It expresses something that people always in some fashion want to be whether they are or not." Morre says. "Everyone kind of wants to be a bad boy or a bad girl, but you can't be cool and popular at the same time." Which is fine with Mark Green, co-classical director of WRUV in Vermont. "Cool is uncool.

I urge your readers to consider installing residential fire sprinklers. There has never been a multiple loss of life due to fire or smoke in a building equipped with a sprinkler system. For less than what homeowners pay to install carpeting, they can install an instant firefighting system that could save children, adults, senior citizens even the family pet.

(Part of the cost can be recouped through reduced homeowner's insurance premiums, but more important, sprinklers are the best life insurance policy money can buy.) It is a small price to pay to protect the lives of loved ones. Abby. your readers should also be encouraged to stay in motels and hotels equipped with sprinkler systems. They should demand that facilities such as nursing and retirement homes have the same fire protection. Every year, senior citizens in these facilities die needlessly because they can't move fast enough to escape.

For readers who may think that sprinkler systems are conspicuous and ugly, or fear they may go off accidentally and ruin their homes, the newer systems are inconspicuous, and the chance of a sprinkler going off accidentally is only one in 16 million! Individuals and families must take responsibility for their own lives. Installing a sprinkler system is the BEST way of fulfilling that responsibility. CHIEF TOM SIEGFRIED DEAR CHIEF SIEGFRIED: The fact that there has never been a multiple loss of life due to fire in a building with a sprinkler system is one that every family should take into consideration.
