- Comparison to Boston locationloveyoukpeDined on 11/15/2014While Fire and Ice Cambridge was definitely still very enjoyable, I liked my visit to the Boston location much better. There was a larger selection of pastas, vegetables, and sauces in Boston, which made a big difference in my experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A little disappointedShoshnbeliemomDined on 11/15/2014I have been to Fire + Ice in Boston several times and was excited to try this one for my birthday. I had a very easy time making a reservation on Open Table and in the notes section I put that we were celebrating a birthday. When we arrived, we were seated promptly, but were seated on a lower level nowhere near the grill (which we wanted our kids to experience). After we walked the girls around to show them the setup, I asked the manager if we could move into the grill area, which he did immediately. We would have loved a booth but he said they were reserved for larger parties. But parties the same size as ours was sat there so not sure what happened there. The food was great as usual and the service was good (since all the waiters do is take drink orders and clear). They do rotate the sauces and the ones they had were not my favorite but that is not the restaurants fault. However, very disappointed with some of the other aspects: Not once did a manager ask us about the birthday celebration that was listed in the reservation, the wait staff did not mention or ask if we wanted bread (and we didn't need it at that point) and when we talked about my birthday in front of the workers at the grill they did not make a big deal out of it like they do in Boston (or at least used to). They used to ring the bell, sing Happy Birthday, etc. Even though I thought the evening was OK, my kids loved as first time goers. Next time, I would go back to the one in Boston and not this one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodLuv2explorefoodDined on 11/15/2014We were 5 adults and 2 kids with high chair. They included gratuity in the check even though we were less than 8 adults. Didn't tell the manager as kids were getting cranky and we wanted to get out ASAP but we thought that's not nice. We were not much happy with our waiter and we didn't want to tip him that much. Food is as always great and we love it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeAlcatDined on 11/14/2014Great for groups to go, cheap for the quality and all you can eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fire and Ice:great variety, food, and priceTonyDined on 11/13/2014We went to Fire and Ice Thursday Nov. 13 before a concert. The ingredients were excellent with a great variety and sauces also had a good variety. The food was grilled to perfection on the circular grill by a friendly and very competent cook. If you like fish don't miss the superb fish tacos. They were the highlight of our excellent meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wanted to like it...but didn'tChoppahDined on 11/11/2014I used to look forward to go here a lot when they first opened. After moving back to the area, I've been meaning to check it out but haven't had the chance. They were having a free meal promotion for Vet's Day . So, I thought I'd check it out again with my family. For a free meal, I can't complain and thank you to the management for honoring the service of our Vet's. However, I won't be going back. The quality and variety of the food here has really declined over the years. They used to have a wide variety of vegetables to choose from. This time, there were five at best. They used to have shrimp, tuna, Mako shark as well as a variety of terrestrial meats. This time, not so much. The "tenderloin" wasn't so tender and so on.
- Always FunResvplsDined on 10/25/2014Fire and Ice is always a good choice. It's so much fun to create your own meal, thought I'm not always the best guesser as to the right combinations. Definitely suggest small portions so you can try many different options all in one visit. Generally a noisey establishment so not fit for a romantic night out. Depending on the timing, reservations may be required.Special Features:
- Good for lunchShawnDined on 10/25/2014We went to for lunch and no line, waiting. So we could have food quickly. I went to three times! Hamburg is also good!Special Features:
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/18/2014Can't wait to go back my next time in Boston. Food was very good. Very kid friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Team DinnerRowYourBoatDined on 10/17/2014I definitely appreciated that I was able to make a reservation for 11 people on my Open Table ap. We ate here as a team before the Head of the Charles and it was also really nice that the athletes got as much food as they wanted and it was all relatively healthy. The food was a little over cooked, I'm guessing because they were busy. Our server also did not seem to know how to handle large groups very well. Overall the team had a good experience and will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great foodSulovestoeatDined on 10/17/2014parking right across the street! Food was great, fun placeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun experienceDawgladyDined on 10/12/2014All the food you can eat for a great price ($18). Tons of choices. Fun for a couple, a girl's night out, or the whole family.Special Features:
- unique dining ideacathypellDined on 10/9/2014We enjoyed the variety of choices in this cafeteria style create your own meal. You pick your veggies, meat and sauces and it cooked while you watch. You can go back as often as you like to sample different combinations.Special Features:
- Nothing specialDisappointedDined on 10/4/2014I've heard alot about this place and I was not impressed. There's no ambiance at all...the food was just ok. The service was average. I have no desire to go back or to recommend it to anyone. I'm surprised its as popular as it is. I'm glad I went so now I know I haven't been missing out on anything.Special Features:
- Still A Great Place to GoOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014We've been many times over the years - mostly special occasions - and are still happy with the food and service. This time we went for lunch - meal choices are different for dinner. My kids love it (teenage boys and a buffet - what more could they want?). We also love Sunday brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice mealLambchopDined on 9/20/2014Great for casual meal. Fun to pick out items for your dish. Server was excellent - very helpful and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Student Dining SpotdinerVIPDined on 9/14/2014While everything was satisfactory; food choices and service, it was just that. For a student on a budget $20 will fill you up. However, if you are looking for more ambiance, keep looking.
- not the sameOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/14/2014I came here about 10 years ago and loved the quality food, great service, and fun atmosphere. After my last visit, I don't think I'll be coming back. The restaurant has diversified too much (burgers and salad and soup and pizza) and lost their way in the process. Too bad, this used to be an amazing restaurant.
- Great timeEmmzDined on 9/13/2014I went here for my birthday and couldn't have asked for better. The food was amazing and so much fun to pick out for myself :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 21st birthdaybeckyDined on 9/13/2014I went with ten other people and we all enjoyed our food and time there until the waitress refused to give us separate bills and made us do the math.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great culinary experience /conceptExplorator7Dined on 9/6/2014Loved the concept of selecting your ingredients and have them prepared in front of you. Allows for some amazing culinary adventure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wow FactorGibfenmarshDined on 9/2/2014I brought of small group of people for a celebratory lunch and the atomsphere was perfect. It fostered a lot of communication and converstion in a very interactice environment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- definitely will revisitfoooooodDined on 8/29/2014The food was delicious, the waiter and some other staff took my cake i brought stored it in a refrigerator, then brought it out after they cleared out plates, put their own candles on and sang happy birthday to me. Overall really friendly staff and amazing food. Anything you put on that plate will go will together i was stuffed at the end of the nightSpecial Features:
- Good but Not Greatmamatexas2001Dined on 8/16/2014Made the mistake of taking my family here for dinner! It's great for a college hang-out or meeting place. NOT a place to bring your family! Service was almost non-existent. Food was great - once we understood how it worked (You get your own food and take it to the grill, they cook it for you and hand it back) - atmosphere is young, pushy (college crowd) and very loud.Special Features:
- mehSomervilleoldtimerDined on 8/16/2014The food isn't very good. I'm a good cook and made reasonable choices, but the sauce I chose was incredibly salty. When I tried a second combination, it still wasn't great. I will say my salad was good, as was my Pina Colada.
- Food was amazing as usualSamJDined on 8/15/2014This was our 3rd visit over the years to Fire+Ice. After a span of almost 6 years I can still say the place is full of energy and the flavors are wonderful. Service seems to have slipped a notch - maybe it was a super busy Friday night this time. The flavors are wonderful and the guys behind the grill are super helpful. Overall great experience once again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/2/2014Very different feel than the downtown restaurant. Bright decor and super bright lights, we felt we were ata Chuck E Cheese. Waitress didn't bring the drink order until we were about done eating. Food was over-cooked: didn't appear to be a real sense of organization in how they were grilling.Special Features:
- Interesting atmosphere,tasty buffetBostonNewbieDined on 8/1/2014Showed up with 7 friends for a birthday party. Table was ready when we arrived. Drinks were great. The buffet had a nice meat selection and everything looked fresh. Great for a wide variety of tastes. Had vegetarian and gluten free options. Little noisy, but overall a great experience.Special Features:
- The following 454 reviews are from the Fire + Ice Cambridge reviews archive.
- Unique - fun!!!HpsmomDined on 7/27/2014First time to Cambridge! Fun atmosphere and unique dining experience. Everyone will be able to find something they like! Great food! The only complaint was with the grill, the dining area was very hot! Would go bk and ask to sit somewhere else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingAnitaDined on 7/27/2014We need a Fire & Ice in Oxford, PA!! Food was outstanding!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014Fun spot to hit if you need to take time eating, food was good CHefs were really goodSpecial Features:
- Not even for college kidsRobertVIPDined on 7/24/2014Place hard an unclean feel to it. Waited ten minutes and no hostess. Table was dirty. Whole feel of the place was it needed a thorough cleaning. Food was weak and took forever to cook. Dishes were greasy. Salad bar aweful. Don't go. It's all you can eat for a reason - you won't want to stay there long.
- Surprisingly good foodDatabaseNinjaDined on 7/18/2014This is my second time to a Fire + Ice restaurant... I went to the one in Boston last year. I didn't have a great recollection of my experience... I didn't remember it being horrible but it also didn't stand out. It was a vague 'OK' feeling so I didn't have high expectations for this trip. We (two adults and 4 teenagers) went to the Cambridge one on Friday night and the experience was much better than I recall... specifically relating to the food. The food was very good and prepared well... especially the steak. For <$20 for 'all you can eat' it is a bargain and the experience of picking your own food to have grilled for you was a fun novelty. We'll definitely be back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/18/2014What a great place! As a person with a food allergy, I was nervous because of the open grill concept. They took care to make sure my food was cooked separately. The staff was so friendly and attentive, but not hovering. My 10 year old son LOVED his experience and the staff treated him very well. I WILL be back! !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodPBarnDined on 7/4/2014Second time I've been to this restaurant, first time at this location. Wasn't very crowded. Ingredients and overall product are great. Table service wasn't all that great: it took about 10 minutes for our server to initially come to the table and he didn't check on us all that often; though other servers seemed more on-point. Bottom line: do recommend.Special Features:
- Not worth your moneyHollyPDined on 7/4/2014This restaurant was way over priced. Totally not worth the money. It was $16.99 for the " buffet" all you at dinner not including beverages or dessert. Ive never been to a buffet still restaurant where those things weren't included. But besides that, there weren't many choices for food. And the food tasted like its been sitting there for hours. The grill where they cook the food was so dirty and greasy that it made me a little queezy just thinking about my food cooking there. The ice cream was freezer burned and the soda did not taste like authentic Pepsi products. Not to mention the waiter was m.i.a for a good half hour. I will never go there again lol. What a rip off!
- Boston is betterOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/30/2014Go to the Boston location. The cambridge one feels a bit dilapidated, and the staff seem so glum to be there.Special Features:
- Just OKCHPaDined on 6/29/2014This was my second visit to Fire and Ice, both times with a large group. Some of our party had not been to the restaurant previously and was not aware of the procedure for compiling your meal. It was not clearly explained to our party and there was some confusion. Unfortnately that detracted from our experience. The restaurant was not a clean as we would have liked but the food was good. All combined, the Fire and Ice experience was just OK.Special Features:

8 Items Found
- Dom De La Patience Merlot 2011 Product #28723 (In Stock)
Organic Grapes This Langeudoc estate not far from the famous Roman bridge, Pont du Gard, takes its name from a wild aromatic herb called "La Patience" that grows through the vineyard. And that fresh herbal note runs through this delicious Merlot, too! You'll find generous aromas of wild berry, raspberry, and baked strawberry fruit with seductive accents of dark chocolate and crushed herb. As the fruit gets more lush and powerful, a classic Langeudoc note of black olive emerges over the soft, juicy, blackberry fruit lingering on the finish. Fun stuff to serve at a party or enjoy with grilled pork tenderloin!
- 14 Hands Merlot 2011 Product #27756 (In Stock)
One of the top 20 wine-by-the-glass offerings in US restaurants, 14 Hands Merlot is also a big favorite in the store! This soft, almost juicy, Merlot is packed with cherry and red berry fruit and just a dash of wood spice and classic Merlot herbs. The wine is round and well-focused, and a perfect match with just about any weeknight meal.
- Leese-fitch Merlot 2012 Product #28356 (In Stock)
"With brambly purple color, the vanilla notes burst from the glass. Then the aroma turns towards strawberry jam, plum, and crushed cardamom. The mouth fills with flavors of ripe black raspberry, sweetened cranberry cocktail, fresh summer cherries, toasted almond, and summer plums. The finish has layers of vanilla bean from a combination of French and American oak with a touch of complexity from notes of Brazil nut and sweet raspberry cordial. The acidity keeps the wine bright while the fruit flavors bounce between sweet and tart." Winery Notes
- Josh Cellars Merlot 2011 Product #27529 (In Stock)
From Joseph Carr, this great value Merlot delivers a lot more than it's modest price suggests. Classic Merlot aromas and flavors of soft red plum, blackcurrant, and a touch of dried herb get a little boost of oak spice and mellow chocolate. Plenty of fruit in this balanced, easygoing, Merlot that finishes softly with lingering fruit and herb.
- Independent Producers (Hedges) Merlot 2012 Product #28249 (In Stock)
House of Independent Producers is Christophe Hedges' project to showcase some of the most exciting independently-owned vineyards in Washington's Columbia Valley. The 2012 HIP Merlot comes from Bacchus Vineyard, and it's one of that all to rare breed - a domestic Merlot that tastes like, well, Merlot! Roasted cherries, blackberry, toast and dashes of tar, vanilla, and cocoa powder show in the generous aromas. In the mouth, it's rich but not heavy, soft but not flabby, and bursting with dark cherry and sweet plum flavors with accents of cocoa powder and a hint of tobacco. The soft tannins provide enough support to match this with grilled beef, but stay soft and supple enough to enjoy on its own.
- Parcel 41 Merlot Napa Valley 2012 Product #28384 (In Stock)
"Parcel 41" was the original surveyor's designation for this winery's site in Napa, and the wine is a touch "old school" too! It's rock solid, right down the middle, Napa Merlot with flavors and aromas of redcurrant, coffee, vanilla and herb. The texture is plump and soft in the middle before fine, firm, tannin comes up on the lightly creamy finish. Easy to like and drink on its own or with lamb or beef.
- Joseph Carr Merlot Napa 2011 Product #28699 (In Stock)
We don't see this nearly often enough - a super-star winemaker who could easily fill his days (and pocketbook) doing just his own wines and consulting for a few high-end boutiques rolling up his sleeves, digging in, and making California wine you can afford to drink everyday. The winemaker is Aaron Pott - Food & Wine Magazine's Winemaker of the Year in 2012 - and his partner is former sommelier Joseph Carr. Together, Aaron and Joseph are creating a line of fresh and food-friendly wines with plenty of Napa Character and style - but just about one-third of the price!
When you've starred as head winemaker for St. Emilion's Ch La Tour Figeac, you know a little something about great Merlot. Winemaker Aaron Pott brings that expertise to bear on this blend of Merlot from Napa's Yountville and Oak Knoll regions. Very pretty aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry and fresh herb lead to a plump, soft (but shapely) mouthful of cocoa, mint, plum, sweet cherry and savory mushroom flavors. The finish is smooth and fresh and stylish, especially for a wine at this price. Great value.
- Shafer Merlot Napa 2011 Product #27910 (In Stock)
The 2011 Shafer Merlot continues this wine's always outstanding quality but also reflects the cool, cloudy, vintage. Rich aromas of dark roasted coffee bean, black cherry, plum and baking spice. Then elegant and easy in the mouth with mellow flavors of black currant and cherry, sweet spice, smoke, and espresso. The light, dusty, tannins provide just the right support for buttery beef but don't get in the way of solo sipping.

Johnson: "That would be huge breaking Jerry Rice's record. That's a landmark."Posted by on November 28, 2012 – 5:44 pm
"Our last game was physically and emotionally draining in all kinds of ways. We were out there through the whole quarter of overtime, that's the physical aspect of it, and then the ups and downs during the game. Then it being Thanksgiving – it was taxing.
"This season has been tough, but we put ourselves in the situation. So the only thing we can do is keep working and finish the season strong. We need to bring those things together that we've been struggling on, whether it be missed assignments or whatever else it might be that's holding us back. Eliminate those things during these last five games and get ourselves going in the right direction.
"That would be huge breaking Jerry Rice's record. That's a landmark. That's crazy. You never know when you're going to be in this position again so you have to best take advantage of it.
"Breaking it is possible, definitely possible. You just have to get over that 100 mark every game, which is not hard. I'm definitely thinking about it, but I just have to keep on working, keep it in the back of my mind, but still focus on the task at hand.
"When I first really got into football, Steve Young, Jerry – they were the duo that everybody wanted to be like. Everybody wanted to have that kind of chemistry as far as a wide receiver and a quarterback goes. That kind of chemistry on the field, that's what everybody wants. That's what everybody strives for to put up those kind of numbers."

Titus Young back at Lions practice; five others sit outPosted by on November 28, 2012 – 1:03 pm
Receiver Titus Young returned to the portions of Lions practice open to the media today after more than a week away from the team.
Young was inactive for the Thanksgiving Day Game against the Texans and did not practice last week because of disciplinary reasons following the team's loss to the Packers.
"He needed and the team needed a little time away," Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said Tuesday when Young wasn't on the practice field. "And that's not the same with the other inactive guys. But again, it's not going to be based on what he does away from here, it's what he does when he's here with the team."
Young took reps with the second team and went last in a number of receiving drills during the individual portion of practice. It appears Young will have to earn the trust back from both his head coach and his teammates before he can be an expected contributor on Sunday.
The Lions also welcomed guard Rob Sims and right tackle Gosder Cherilus back at practice. Both players sat out of yesterday's "bonus practice."
The team was without defensive end Cliff Avril, safety Louis Delmas, left tackle Jeff Backus, defensive tackle Corey Williams and running back Mikel Leshoure.
The first injury report of the week will be released at 4p.m. today on Detroitlions.com.

November 28, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The University of Wisconsin-Extension's interim provost will take over as chancellor on an interim basis, replacing the current chancellor who's been named to head the entire UW System.
UW System officials say Aaron Brower has agreed to serve as the interim chancellor of UW Colleges and UW-Extension starting February 15. The appointment, announced Friday, is subject to approval by the UW System's board of regents next month.
Brower will replace Ray Cross, who was named the UW System president last week.
Brower has held executive positions at UW-Madison, where he also taught classes on educational innovations.
He's expected to serve as interim chancellor until a full-time replacement for Cross is found. Regents are currently developing a plan for the recruitment process.

The Michigan Dept. of Community Health worked with the governor to balance this portion of the budget. Instead of cutting payments to Medicaid providers or reducing Medicaid eligibility, the governor's recommendations restructured the Medicaid program using a waiver of federal rules.
The Elder Prescription Insurance Coverage (EPIC) with tobacco settlement dollars has assisted 15,000 low-income seniors with prescription medications. This upcoming fiscal year, EPIC will be extended to 42,000 seniors, nearly tripling the number of beneficiaries.
The governor has also recruited Vermont, Wisconsin and South Carolina for a multi-state purchasing collaboration to keep Medicaid pharmaceutical costs where they are. More states are expected to join the collaboration and it should generate $40 million in savings.
Of most importance, there will be no reduction in payments to those serving Medicaid patients. For example, any doctor, hospital, or nursing home providing care to a Medicaid patient will continue to get the same amount of payments from the state.
Healthy adults will see the biggest change in benefits. The Medicaid Adult Benefit Waiver limits medical benefits for healthy adults, but this waiver should reduce state general fund costs by almost $110 million.

Super Friendly Fans
Posted on: September 18, 2010 | Comments(6) | Drivers, Fans, Race Tracks |
Prior to this trip everyone kept mentioning how friendly the fans were in Japan. I believed them – I've already seen that at the previous IndyCar races this season. Our fans are passionate, committed and of course, very nice. Motegi is a different experience. For one, it's a different culture, language, continent and time zone. It's also the adopted home track for Hideki Mutoh and Takuma Sato – not to mention Roger Yasukawa – and these fans really love these drivers.

Do your part to build a stronger, safer motorcycling community.
The National Motorcycle Safety Fund (NMSF) is a charitable organization created in 1980 to supplement the work of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. By supporting the NMSF you are supporting highly developed programs designed by motorcycle professionals. These programs are part of the lifelong education of both riders and other roadway users. We target the most important areas that truly make a difference in rider safety.
With the ever-increasing popularity of motorcycling, there are now more reasons than ever to get involved with the positive growth of motorcycling as a sport and mode of transportation. Before riders choose to get involved with motorcycling, we strongly encourage them to understand that motorcycle safety consists primarily of risk management through the rider's knowledge and skill. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) endeavors to make motorcycling safer, and more enjoyable, by ensuring access to lifelong quality education and training for current and prospective riders, and by advocating a safer riding environment. The MSF is not a government agency - it's a not-for-profit educational foundation established in 1973 that provides an array of services to the riding community.
Your contributions make a difference.
One hundred percent of your contribution goes to work for the National Motorcycle Safety Fund - none is lost to cover administration or other related costs. Here's a small sample of some key programs you'll be supporting:
The NMSF is a 501(c)(3) charitable association, self-governed per Article IX of its Articles of Incorporation and supervised by the NMSF Board of Trustees. An acknowledgement letter will be sent as your receipt for federal income tax deduction. Ask your employer about matching your tax-deductible contribution through a matching gift program.
We're motorcyclists working for motorcyclists.
And we need your help.
As individuals concerned with traffic safety, we want to see a significant reduction in motor vehicle crashes. Wouldn't it be great if more motorcycle riders could take hands-on training courses, and more automobile drivers saw motorcycles in traffic? You can help achieve this goal with a tax-deductible contribution to the National Motorcycle Safety Fund.
All contributors will be acknowledged on the website. Donation opportunities are available at these levels:
Help protect vulnerable roadway users. Support the NMSF today. Click on the Donate link, above, to make your contribution.
*A note on MSF kits. 1. Group Riding contains a Facilitator's Guide, video, and handbooks for a class of 10. The program covers ride preparation, standards for organizing the ride, and proper formations in traffic. 2. Riding Straight contains a Facilitator's Guide, video and interactive Fatal Vision® Simulator Goggles. It can be used by anyone conducting general motorcycling or impaired riding events. 3. Common Road contains a Facilitator's Guide, video, and handbooks for a class of 10. Materials are directed at motorists and provide a driver's eye view of the special needs of motorcyclists.

The Long Island Regional Economic Development Council joined the Town of Oyster Bay on May 30 to announce the kickoff of an educational outreach campaign for Coordinated Environmental Solutions for Septic Problems Occurring on Long Island (C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. Project), which is being supported by a $45,000 award the town received as part of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's Regional Council initiative. This project will increase regional public awareness of onsite water treatment systems and water quality on Long Island and has the potential to create employment opportunities in the cesspool service industry.
"Wastewater treatment is not often thought of when it comes to economic development. However, without safe water the quality of life in an area declines and businesses suffer, which makes projects like this vital to our economy," said Kevin Law, president of the Long Island Association and Regional Council co-chair. "There is no greater tool than knowledge, and I am proud that the council is supporting this educational campaign to help Long Islanders understand how they can do their part to protect their environment and well-being to ensure a bright and prosperous future."
"This project is a great example of the type of partnerships the Regional Council has fostered to help improve the quality of life for our communities," said Stuart Rabinowitz, president of Hofstra University and Regional Council co-chair. "Simply put – we need safe water. This awareness campaign will teach Long Islanders how to be conscious of how our actions affect the environment and our neighbors, and protect our water for generations to come."
The C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L project will raise awareness of onsite wastewater treatment systems through an educational outreach campaign. The Town of Oyster Bay, Friends of the Bay and watershed protection committees for Manhasset Bay, Hempstead Harbor, and Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor will raise public awareness of the importance of regularly inspecting, maintaining, and repairing/upgrading residential onsite wastewater treatment systems within the watersheds of the three embayments. The project will be implemented in four phases and will result in an increased regional awareness of the need for regular, routine maintenance of onsite wastewater treatment systems with the goal of increasing routine maintenance of such systems.
"Proper wastewater treatment is an important topic that needs to be addressed by all levels of government regionally and cooperatively. The issues we have in Glen Cove at Crescent Beach were decades in the making, but may have been prevented if we had public awareness campaigns like this to educate our friends and neighbors about how we contribute to the problem and how we can all make a difference," said Glen Cove Mayor Ralph Suozzi. "Our water and waterways are too precious of a resource to be left to chance, and by properly treating wastewater we can improve the quality of life in our communities, create much-needed green jobs and foster water-related business related to fishing, tourism and recreational activities that will help grow our economy. I commend Governor Cuomo and the Regional Council for supporting this initiative and look forward to working with this new partnership to ensure that all Long Islanders enjoy a higher quality of life and have access to clean, quality water."
"Septic systems have been found to be one of the major contributors to the contamination of fecal coliform bacteria and other pollutants to Long Island's groundwaters, harbors, bays and waterways. Groundwater contamination is, consequently, of grave concern, as this contamination could enter the drinking supply through the aquifers. The short-term goals of the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project are to raise public awareness of the importance of regularly inspecting, maintaining, and, as necessary, repairing/upgrading residential on-site sanitary systems within Nassau County and, consequently, creating jobs in the cesspool service industry," said John Venditto, Oyster Bay town supervisor. "The long-term goals of the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project are to reduce nutrient and contaminant loads to groundwater within the areas contributing to the county's surface water, thereby reducing the non-point source loads to these surface waters. Protecting the quality of recharge in these areas will protect and improve surface water quality. The town is very gratified the state sees the worthiness of this project and looks forward to working with our partners in making the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project a success."
The Town of Oyster Bay proposes to serve as the lead agency for an unprecedented partnership between three Long Island watershed protection committees – Manhasset Bay, Hempstead Harbor, and Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor, and Friends of The Bay –to implement the Coordinated Environmental Solutions for Septic Problems Occurring on Long Island – otherwise referred to as the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project. The goals of the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project are to raise public awareness of the importance of regularly inspecting, maintaining, and as necessary repairing/upgrading residential onsite sanitary systems within Nassau County and consequently creating jobs in the cesspool service industry.
The campaign will be implemented in four phases:
Phase I: Refining the target area. A detailed map highlighting all unsewered areas within Nassau County and Suffolk County (in the Cold Spring Harbor watershed) will be developed on a geographic information system by working with county health departments and local sewer districts.
Phase II: Establishing a baseline understanding of public awareness. In order to develop an efficient, effective campaign it is critical to gain an understanding of current public understanding of this issue.
Phase III: Creating and implementing a targeted, effective public action campaign. The C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project proposes to use the results of the survey to prepare a public outreach campaign that will educate, motivate and assist residents in maintaining their septic systems.
Phase IV: Monitoring, adjusting and evaluating. The effectiveness of the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project's public action campaign in obtaining its goals of increased maintenance of septic systems and increased business for related companies is designed to be easily monitored and adjusted to improve performance. This grant will provide direct indication of the number of residents that took action via redeemed coupons and increased business.
Last year, a total of $785 million was awarded through the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) for job creation and community development projects consistent with each region's strategic plans. As part of that process, the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L project was awarded $45,000 from the Department of State Local Waterfront Revitalization Program.
Secretary of State Cesar A. Perales said, "Governor Cuomo's transformational Regional Council Initiative to improve economic development in New York State has streamlined the application process for state resources and enabled local stakeholders to choose the projects they know will best help the region's economy. I am proud that the Department of State could be a part of this effort, and pleased that the Environmental Protection Fund Local Waterfront Revitalization Program awards will revitalize communities and waterfronts while also contribute to economic development throughout New York."
The Department of State works in partnership with more than 300 communities across the state through the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, from Sag Harbor on Long Island's east end to Buffalo along Lake Erie to address numerous waterfront issues, such as economic development, protecting natural resources, and enhancing public access opportunities.
"With over 70 percent of the land area of the Manhasset Bay watershed un-sewered, the C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project is an important and critical component to improving water quality," said Jennifer Wilson Pines, executive director of the Manhasset Bay Protection Committee. "We believe that homeowners with septic systems are mostly unaware of the impact an improperly maintained system can have on water quality. Those we've spoken with want to do the right thing; they just didn't have the information to help them readily available. The C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project will cover that knowledge gap."
"The Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Protection Committee is excited to be developing a comprehensive campaign to raise awareness of the long neglected issue of onsite wastewater treatment system maintenance with an unprecedented coalition of 32 municipalities," said Robert Crafa, coordinator of the Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Protection Committee. "This inter-municipal cooperation will be key to addressing this priority issue that has been identified as a priority by study after study in the last several decades."
"Oyster Bay Harbor produces up to 90 percent of New York State's oysters and up to 33 percent of the state's hard clams and a large portion of Hempstead Harbor was recently re-opened to shellfish harvesting for the first time in over 40 years," said Eric Swenson, executive director of the Hempstead Harbor Protection Committee. "Keeping these waters clean is critical to our local economies. With tens of thousands of homes with septic systems feeding into these waterbodies, it is critical that these systems be maintained. The C.E.S.S.P.O.O.L. project is fulfilling a real need. Without New York State funding, this would not be possible."
"Maintaining the quality of our water, whether drinking water, surface water or the water in our harbors and bays, will be the determining factor for the future growth of Long Island," said Patricia Aitken, executive director of Friends of The Bay. "The health of Long Island's economy is inextricably linked to the health of our coastal ecosystems. This collaboration between Friends of the Bay, the protection committees and the town is a groundbreaking initiative to address the issue of septic contamination of Long Island's water supply."

The Golden State sees opportunities in EuropeNovember 4, 2013
The Golden State sees opportunities in Europe
Last week I spent a couple of days in San Francisco, visiting also the Universities of Berkeley and Stanford. The purpose of the mission was to explain to the influential academic and business circles of the Bay Area what was going on in Europe, and to sound out how all of that looks from the perspective of the American west coast. It was impressive to note how well informed and how interested both the academic and business communities there are of European developments.
At Berkeley the seminars with my long-time colleague and friend Professor John Zysman and his students were particularly enlightening: quite critical but always substantive, as the discourse should be in a research community. I've known John since he wrote "Manufacturing Matters" in 1987, although he got to know me much later. I still believe that manufacturing matters, and so do services, for we are not living in a post-industrial society. With Dan Brenitz, John has just edited a book called "The Third Globalization", which ponders whether wealthy nations can stay rich in the 21st century and what kind of industrial strategies are needed for that.
Another memorable thing to do was my second interview in Professor Harry Kreisler's series "Conversations with History" (we did the first one ten years ago, focusing on the rule of law and principles in politics). This time we went in-depth into the reconstruction of EMU. The interview will be available online in a few weeks, so you can judge yourself then.
In my talks, I explained that Europe is pursuing a comprehensive reform of the Economic and Monetary Union as a whole, but perhaps even more importantly, going through fundamental reforms of the economies of its Member States.
High public deficits are being brought under control, from close to 7% of GDP in 2010 to close to 3% of GDP this year. Structural reforms in the labour, product and services markets are starting to deliver the first results in terms of improved competitiveness and export performance. The European Central Bank has taken decisive action to stabilise the markets.
Work on establishing the building blocks of the Banking Union is moving forward well. The Single Supervisory Mechanism will become operational in a year, after the completion of a thorough balance sheet assessment of the banks that it will directly supervise. And a Single Resolution Mechanism will follow in due time, to complete the structure.
The investors who finance our member states' deficits and debt have responded to these efforts with growing confidence and lower interest rates.
As a result, the European economy is experiencing a turnaround, which could transform into a solid and sustainable recovery next year, provided that reform efforts continue and nobody rests on their laurels. I did not yet have the new autumn forecast with me, but I felt sufficiently confident to claim that "Europe will be back", to paraphrase a famous Californian politician of European origin.
We had good exchanges with academics and commentators whose task it is to observe critically economic policies in Europe and the US, and who found interesting comparisons and lessons to be learnt on both sides of the Atlantic.
Yet I was most encouraged by the business community and investors, who found that Europe offered increasingly attractive opportunities, and who were clearly turning their sights back across the Atlantic – especially since some of the emerging market economies were slowing down and therefore losing their attractiveness compared to the re-emerging Europe.
One of the most interesting discussions I had was with an investor with a strong track record in investing into start-ups in the high-tech sector. He considered Greece to be one of the most dynamic environments for his business at the moment, with many young, well-educated and innovative people wanting to take the initiative in their own hands and establish new businesses. In his view, young Greeks increasingly want to become entrepreneurs instead of public servants, which is one necessary feature of the turnaround which the economists like to call a "structural change from the non-tradeables to tradeables sector".
If there were one message to bring home from California it would be that the academic and business communities there recognise Europe's efforts in stabilising the economy and returning to recovery, even if we still have major challenges, notably the high unemployment in many parts of the EU. I left them with a commitment that we would not stop our efforts, but instead continue with the reconstruction of the EMU, by soon looking into what more we should do to make it function better.
Sometimes things seem clearer from a distance. It was definitely worth the time and paying the cost of the still prevailing jetlag to make this short visit to the eastern coast of the Pacific.Tags:opportunities in Europe;University of Berkeley and Stanford;John Zysman;Manufacturing Matters;Conversations with History;comprehensive reform of the Economic and Monetary Union;Europe will be back;

The Lafayette Parish School Board is faced with another full agenda when board members meet tonight.
They'll discuss insurance benefits for employees and partnering with the state for the process of allowing charter schools in the district.
During a meeting last month board members voted to table the decision until they can hold a workshop to learn more about charter schools. Superintendent Dr. Pat Cooper says the charter schools would reduce overcrowding and help improve education but critics say that can't be guaranteed.
They will also introduce an item that would allow for a one-time pay supplement for support staff.
The meeting starts at 5:30p.m.

The Village of Farmingdale Board of Trustees met Monday, Feb. 6 at Village Hall to continue public discussions on LLG-2011- the agenda item that would have added new allowed uses in the Conklin Street zoning district.
In December, Mayor George Starkie and the village board voted to eliminate "restaurant use" as a permitted option for the area in question- located after Hempstead Turnpike, before Main Street and essentially next to Fulton Street- after residents voiced concerns over the potential for increased pollution and food odors.
At the Feb. 6 meeting, Starkie discussed the background of the situation and provided reasons why he decided to discontinue the public hearing on it. "After hearing from the public and one person in particular, we were informed this might fall under the category of spot-zoning," Starkie said. "Sometimes you need that 'aha' moment. So we continued the public hearing with the understanding that we'd definitely eliminate 'restaurant use.' Subsequently, that property has sold. Nobody is telling us to who; nobody has come in with any applications. At this point, I think it would be unfair to the public to continue the hearing."Spot-zoning refers to an application of zoning to a specific parcel of land within a larger zoned area when the rezoning is usually at odds with a city's master plan and current zoning restrictions. The rezoning may be for the benefit of a particular owner, and at odds with pre-existing adjacent property owners.
To cap off the discussions, Starkie added, "we're just going to discontinue the hearing. Nothing is going to change with the office-resident district as it is now. If something in the future comes up, then we will have to republish a public notice."
The board continued discussions on finding an outside source to help run the village's private water supply. Ultimately, a resolution was made to approve Guastella Associates, LLC, to provide consulting services to the village to analyze proposals for the shift from the Bethpage Water District and the Suffolk County Water Authority. "They have an incredible résumé," Starkie said of Guastella Associates. "They were recommended from another water district on Long Island. They are experts in this industry. Bethpage has made an offer to run our water, as has Suffolk County Water Authority. This is the outside agency that will come in and review those proposals."
Deputy Mayor Patricia Christiansen presented an updated Beautification Committee report. "We're not quite ready for spring, but we are looking into plants for our hanging baskets and plantings for what will be implemented in May."
For the final agenda item of the evening, the board asked for community feedback on the idea for an Options For Community Living Home to open on Cherry Street.
Options is a private non-profit community agency that has been building paths of hope for some of our region's neediest people since 1982. They provide housing and assistance for families and individuals who are homeless, working their way out of crisis, or faced with debilitating medical conditions or mental illness.
Some Farmingdale residents were concerned about the "secrecy" of the organization, as they weren't provided with much information regarding the identities or backgrounds of their future neighbors. "That particular property is right on the corner of a bus stop for the elementary school and high school," said Farmingdale resident Susan Myles. "Doing renovations on the house will of course bring up the property value of all those around us, but we're concerned about who's going to be living there. Because of the privacy issues, we don't know who's going to move in, and because of the secrecy of [the night that company made a presentation at a village board meeting], it led to speculation that anyone can move in. That's too close to the school bus stops." Starkie responded that he had a great discussion with the Options community director, and he was assured that the company never had any complaints about its residents causing trouble.
The next Village of Farmingdale Board of Trustees meeting will be held on March 5 at Village Hall at 8 p.m.

The Division of Hematopathology in the Department of Pathology at North Shore-LIJ Health System is experienced in all aspects of the diagnostic evaluation of patients with hematologic disorders of the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes and other tissues. This division uses immunohistochemical, flow cytometric and cytogenetic/molecular techniques to evaluate hematologic disorders. We also deliver the highest quality of clinical hematology laboratory services.
The Division of Hematopathology is committed to strong person-to-person working relationships with hematologists and oncologists. Our testing and consultation services assist treating physicians as well as hematopathologists confronted with difficult diagnostic problems in leukemia and lymphoma.
We are active in the teaching of hematopathology to pathology residents, hematology/oncology fellows (adult and pediatric), medical students and laboratory technologists. Our goals include expanding scholarly study of hematologic disorders and collaboration with those involved in research in this exciting subspecialty.
Many years of experience working closely with pathologists, as well as with the treating oncologists and hematologists, has enabled our hematopathologists to understand both the diagnostic complexities and the practical implications in this extremely complex area. We can help determine not only the most appropriate test for diagnosis, but also the circumstances in which additional costly testing may not be needed. We are always available to discuss the special features of any case.
Expert Consultation
- The Hematopathology Division is directed by Dr. Judith Brody, a recognized hematopathologist with particular expertise in bone marrow pathology and flow cytometric diagnosis of hematologic malignancies.
- Drs. Filiz Sen, Silvat Sheikh-Fayyaz, Peihong Hsu and Xinmin Zhang are board certified hematopathologists with expertise in all aspects of diagnosis of hematologic disorders.
- Surgical pathologists Drs. Jela Bandovic, Maria Navarro, and Morris Edelman bring to the division additional expertise in the diagnosis of lymphoid malignancy.
Although we have expertise in the appropriate application of state-of-the-art technology to the diagnosis of leukemia and lymphoma, we also are experts in the morphologic and immunohistochemical diagnosis of these tumors. We believe that excellent morphologic analysis is essential to the interpretation of ancillary techniques and that it continues to provide the cornerstone to diagnosis.
Special Capabilities
The Flow Cytometry Laboratory uses four-color multiparameter analysis to detect malignant hematopoietic cells in a manner most appropriate for classification.
The laboratory performs more than 5,000 tests per year on the flow cytometric analysis of hematologic disorders (performed on blood, bone marrow, lymphoid tissue, fine needle aspiration, body fluids and CSF, GI and skin biopsies). Other flow cytometric tests performed by the laboratory include routine lymphocyte subset analysis and CD34 enumeration.
Our hematopathologists also works closely with the Cytogenetics and Molecular Diagnostics Laboratories under the direction of Jordan Laser, MD, Associate Medical Director, Core Laboratory (Sr. Director, Division of Cytogenetics and Molecular Pathology) and Chandrika Sreekantaiah, PhD (director of cytogenetics).
Timely Results
Test results generally can be supplied in one or two days from receipt of sample, depending on the nature of the workup performed. If requested, preliminary assessment can be given the same day. Flow cytometric results are available within hours, if needed. Phone reports are routine, and hard copy is usually available by fax the following day.
We provide a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of leukemia and lymphoma, aided by our close collaboration with the Cytogenetics, Immunopathology, and Molecular Diagnostics Laboratories. Equally crucial, our faculty is expert in analyzing and interpreting the results provided by this state-of-the-art technology.Back to Top

Often I go into schools and talk about the importance of eating healthy and what it means to be organic. I have this little exercise I do with kids that challenges them to connect the food source with the finished product (such as milk to a cow, ketchup to tomatoes, French fries to potatoes, etc.). It is always amazing how hard it is for most children to think this way because there is such a disconnect in our current food system between source and purchased products. It's not necessarily a lack of caring, but it's a lack of exposure to processes both on the farm and in the factory.
Why kids are more susceptible
Children need nutrients to grow. For the first eight years of a child's life, their bodies develop at a very fast rate. An assortment of healthy foods that encompasses all nutrients (protein, vitamins, minerals) will allow a child's body to grow physically and mentally to its fullest ability. Children, with their smaller size, rapid growth rate and speedy metabolisms, are primed to take in a ton of nutrients from the food they eat, but they are also more vulnerable than adults to developmental damage from chemicals.
Research shows that children get four times more exposure to pesticides in their foods than adults, and developing organs are more susceptible to damage from toxins because they absorb them more easily. But current regulations of acceptable pesticide residues allowed in conventional, non-organic foods are based on standards developed for adults, not children.
Removing "processed" from our food choices
A big part of diminishing the amount of harmful chemicals in kids' diets is limiting processed foods. Ingredients found in processed foods are believed to increase incidences of behavioral disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). If we teach our kids to eat processed foods in moderation and mainly eat a variety of foods that come from the earth, we've already come a long way in getting our kids to eat healthy.
