Unifying the Library and the Street
Scholar-practitioners develop both new ideas and new practices; they envision change and act on it. Individuals who turn theory into practice are at the heart of our educational model. To emphasize the value of that model, we have begun a program to recognize people in our community who exemplify this approach to humanistic problem-solving and bring them into the Saybrook fold.
These are individuals whose work and achievement embody Saybrook's values and principles. They will serve as models for the importance of life-long learning, creative curiosity in support of new knowledge, and the application of this knowledge in service to the larger community.
As Saybrook's first Humanist at Work for 2012-2014, Chip Conley worked directly with our students, faculty, and staff. He introduced them to his own work and helped support their efforts to unify the library and the street in their own life's work.
He also connected Saybrook, as an institution, to the world he lives and works in. Whether working with his peers in the high-end hospitality industry or presenting his new best-selling book "Emotional Equations," Chip represented Saybrook and our humanistic education to the world, even as we learned from him.
From making presentations to meeting with students, from holding colloquia to hands-on internal support, Chip Conley made his role as Saybrook's first Scholar-Practitioner in Residence as unique as he had made his business and books.
Read about the difference Saybrook's scholar-practitioners have made in the world over our 40-year history.

Tokyo hotels
What travelers to Tokyo are saying
Traditional Tokyo
Tokyo is a futuristic fun town, with high-flying fashion and more Michelin star-rated restaurants than any other city in the world. Despite its cosmopolitan façade, Tokyo is steeped in tradition and strict cultural etiquette – which will become obvious if you think talking on the train is acceptable (tsk tsk!).
Stay in one of Shinjuku or Minato's five-star hotels, or under the sleazy neon lights of an infamous 'Love Hotel' in Shibuya. Either way, make sure you perfect the obligatory peace-sign pose before taking to the streets.
Exhaust the endless shopping possibilities in Ginza or Tokyo Dome City, where shopping malls take on a life of their own and futuristic streets lead on to even more hyper urban alleyways. On the cultural front, the Japan Sword Museum and Seikado Bunko Art Museum have some of the best examples of Japanese arts and craftsmanship, as well as providing a great escape from the polite hustle and bustle of Tokyo's streets.
Modern Tokyo has its own brand of pop culture that borders on fetishism. Between the Harijuku Girls, geishas, anime, manga and the national obsession with electronic gadgets, Tokyoites have an all-or-nothing attitude that compels you to come and play.
Beyond Tsukiji: Best Markets in Tokyo
Over 3,000 tonnes of fish pass through Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market every day and to say it's a sight to behold is putting it mildly. Arguably the world's biggest wholesale fish market, the action begins at 5am with the live tuna auctions. It's a forklift, gumboot and gesticulation laden spectacle to be sure – but the tourism impact has created friction with the sellers – so ensure you arrive early and are certain they're admitting public access on that specific day. Things start to cool off after 9am, there's still an incredible array of produce to investigate and consume.
The market is made up of two sections – the inner market for wholesale and the outer market for retail. The outer market holds host to all manner of retail stores, fish produce outlets and restaurants – many of them unsurprisingly with a sushi focus. The best entry points are via Tsukijishijō Station on the Oedo subway line and Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya subway line. Closed Sundays and public holidays.
Tokyo's Top 10
10. Kobayashi Doll Museum See how Japanese dolls (the sort that little girls play with, not grown men, in case you were wondering) are traditionally made in one of Sumida's 'small museums'.
5. Edo Tokyo Museum Experience Old Tokyo and explore its history in this museum dedicated to preserving Tokyo's ancient traditions.
9. Disneyland Tokyo Two theme parks where all your Disney dreams will come true. You can also stay in one of Tokyo's Disney resort hotels. Chances are you'll begrudgingly take the kids there and end up having a ball because they do things so damn well.
4. Meiji Jingu (Meiji Shrine)is a peaceful place of self-reflection. Such places are hard to come by in dynamic, crowded Tokyo, so make the most of it.
8. Akihabara Electric Townhouses every electrical appliance you could ever dream of. A techno geek's paradise!
3. Tsukiji Fish Market Ever wanted to go to a fish auction? Well, now you can – if you get up early enough. The action starts at 5am, when you can bid for 300kg tuna and more besides (hopefully no whale, though). The markets also have the best, freshest seafood restaurants in Tokyo (although you probably won't want to eat fish at 5am).
7. Tokyo Tower The 'Eiffel Tower of Tokyo' is an icon of the skyline. The 150-metre-high observatory even has views to Mount Fuji on a clear day.
2. Tokyo Dome City is a sport and entertainment complex complete with an amusement park, a bounty of shopping and dining options – even a natural hot spring spa to unwind in.
6. The Imperial Palace Walk around the delightful walled grounds and parklands of the Palace. Japan's Emperor lives here. Say hi from us if you see him.
1. Yoyogi Park in Shibuya is one of Tokyo's largest and most popular park hangouts for Tokyoites. They work hard, and this is where they come to play politely. A true spectacle for visitors.

Tokyo Local
Tokyo is a massive metropolis, with the largest urban area and population in the world. So it helps to have an idea of what you'd like to see, and where you should begin.Chuo
One of the most central districts of Tokyo, Chuo is a great starting point for exploring the city. As well as the Tsukiji Fish Markets Chuo is home to Ginza, the fluorescent and flashy fashion Mecca. Come to splurge on Gucci, Prada, Chanel or Dior designer goods, or simply to soak up the atmosphere. Have a ridiculously expensive cup of coffee here, then head to the Sony Building to see technology you won't get anywhere else for years.Chiyoda
The Imperial Palace gives this district a more peaceful, traditional tone. In spring, the surrounding parklands, including Kitanomaru Park and Chidoriga-fuchi Moat, are the perfect place to see the iconic Cherry Blossom Trees in full bloom. Of course, it wouldn't be a Tokyo suburb without an entire area dedicated to electronics gadgets in some way. Akihabara is tech-central, where anything from cameras, computers, mobile phones and vacuum cleaners is on sale. Chiyoda is also fast becoming a hipster's hub for anime and manga paraphernalia. Visit the National Museum of Modern Art (MOMAT) to see some splendid contemporary Japanese art.Minato
Minato lies southwest of the Imperial Palace and is the commercial centre for Japan's big brands like Mitsubishi, Sony, and Toshiba. Odaiba is the heart and soul of Minato. This artificial island is built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay and connected to the mainland by a driverless monorail! Head to Palette Town to ride one of the world's tallest Ferris wheels, or shop up a storm in the European-esque Venus Fort Shopping Mall.
Roppongi's reputation for crazy – and seedy – nightlife is deserved. But by day, though, it's all about getting high at Mori Tower, with the Tokyo City View observation deck that overlooks Tokyo Tower. Roppongi Hills Shopping World is also worth a visit if size (and the absence of soul) impresses you.Shibuya
Young Tokyoites flock here for out-there street fashions and cheap food. Fake it till you make it in Harijuku, where you'll feed a tad underdressed compared to the futuristic, anime-inspired get-ups of the locals. Street after street, there are opportunities to buy reasonably priced clothes, anime and manga souvenirs, or to have a beer in one of the many Izakayas(Japanese pubs). Shibuya's club scene won't disappoint. Take your pick of trance, hip-hop, indie rock and pop music venues that kick on until the wee hours of the morning.
On a more moving note, Shibuya has the famous Hachiko Statue that pays tribute to the local legend of Hachiko, a dog who faithfully waited for its owner, many years after he had died. Finally, when you spot the dodgy the Italiano balconies, it means you've arrived at Love Hotel Hill, where couples can enjoy a quick stay in one of the tacky themed rooms.Shinjuku
Tokyo's commercial hub, with claustrophobic skyscrapers, blinding neon lights and over two million people pushing through the streets each day. Brash business types are met with savvy business ladies, all wanting a piece of Shinjuku's action. Kabukicho is Tokyo's wildest red-light district, with host and hostess bars, love hotels and strip bars. Not for the faint-hearted, Shinjuku promises a wild night out.
TheTokyo Metropolitan Government Building is the tallest building in Tokyo and, unlike the other observation decks in Tokyo, has a free observation desk with great views over the city.
Tokyo Eat & DrinkLike most international cities, Tokyo's fine-dining restaurants are mostly found in lavish five-star hotels. But vending machine and convenience store food (known as the con-vi-ni) gives the top-notch establishments a run for their money.
Tsukiji Fish Market has a number of restaurants open for a fresh sushi breakfast or lunch from 5am to midday daily. There are restaurants in the inner and outer markets of Tsukiji, but don't delay or you'll miss out!
Kutani is a legendary teppanyaki restaurant with a plentiful selection of seasonal vegetables (up to 30 different veggies in one sitting) and slender slices of beef cooked to tender perfection.
Ramen Noodles is a staple of a Tokyoites diet. Try the Kyushu Jangara chain (there is one next to Harijuku train station). Rich pork stock and yummy noodles make this the perfect stop off between shops.
Gonpachi has four outlets (Ginza, Odaiba, Shibuya and Nishi-Azabu) all serving up outstanding soba noodles and succulent skewered meats. Cool and causal ambience, and not too pricey.
Enjoy a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony at Hotel Okura
Sense at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is posh but delicious. If you've got some Yen to spare, try the double-boiled shark- fin soup.
Azure 45 at the Ritz Carlton is a sophisticated dining experience using the freshest Japanese seafood to create French delights. The views from the 45th floor make this a meal to remember.
Two Rooms is a swanky establishment run by Australian chef Matthew Crabbe. A stylish bar scene accompanied by great cocktails.
New York Grill sits high in the Tokyo sky on the 52nd level of Tokyo's Park Hyatt. Prime Japanese beef cooked just the way you like is the ideal accompaniment to the breathtaking views.
Kozue serves contemporary Japanese food using nothing but the finest seasonal ingredients inside a sleek bamboo interior. Bookings essential.
Tokyo Events
Make sure your trip to Tokyo coincides with the Sumo Wrestling Tournaments. Held in January, May and September, and lasting for 2 weeks, watch the best sumos wrestle it out at Kokugikan, the Sumo Stadium in Ryogoku. Big men in giant nappies – how can you refuse!
Doll Festival Day or 'Hina Matsuri' celebrates the artistry of Japanese Dolls. This festival has adapted over the years and now represents and encourages the wellbeing of young Japanese girls. Hand-painted and intricately dressed dolls are displayed in shops and window displays throughout Tokyo during March.
Setsubun Festival, otherwise known as the 'Bean Throwing Festival', marks the beginning of spring. White soybeans are thrown from windows and on the streets to scare away evil spirits and bring good luck for the special season. So be careful where you tread in March.
Sakura (Cherry Blossom Festival) relies on Mother Nature to deliver the goods. At the end of March to the beginning of April, Tokyo's parks flourish with stunning Cherry Blossom trees.
Held at the Sensoji Shrine in Asakusa in May, the Sanja Matsuri Festival calls upon the spirit of the deities to bring good luck, health and prosperity to all Tokyoites. Join the colourful procession through the streets and take the chance to rub shoulders with a real geisha.
Thought beer festivals were a European thing? Think again. The Japanese Beer Festival takes place in early June at The Garden Hall in Ebisu Garden Place. Join the tipsy Tokyoites on this fun boozy beer fest by sipping your way through the 120 beer tastings on offer.
In July, the Buddhist Obon Festival marks the time when ancestral spirits return from the grave. Lanterns are hung outside homes welcoming these spirits. Food offerings are made at Buddhist shrines across Tokyo.
In summer month of August, Tokyo's Samba Carnival is a great excuse to see skimpily clad dancers samba down the Asakusa streets. Locals parade the streets singing and dancing, all bringing the heat to this traditional downtown district. It generally falls somewhere between unintentionally amusing and actually quite cool.
The Tokyo International Film Festival is held every November, showing a wide range of new Japanese and Asian films. The main screenings take place at the Bunkamura theatre in Shibuya.
When To Go
Spring and autumn are the most celebrated seasons in Tokyo, thanks to Cherry Blossom's blooming and autumn leaves falling. These are also the most popular times to travel to Tokyo.
Spring is from March to May
Autumn is from September to November
Summer is from June to August. Temperatures can exceed 30°C (86°F), while July is the most humid and rainiest month.
What To Miss
The Host and Hostess bars of Kabukicho in Shinjuku offer an insight into Tokyo's interesting take on 'companionship'. But rather than companionship, expect to find an empty wallet and a sore head the next morning.
By night, Roppongi turns into a sleazy club hotspot, with rowdy off-duty American soldiers and African hustlers prowling the streets for anything with legs. This area can get pretty rough, and drunken fights are not uncommon, so keep your wits about you if you're planning to party here.
Peak Hour in Tokyo is a washing machine of human beings. The trains are almost unbearable, and you better hope you aren't groped by an infamous 'train-groper' (ladies, stick to the women only carriages at these times) or stuck under a Sumo's armpit.
Getting Around
Tokyo's train system is reliable, fast, cheap and will get you everywhere you need to go, with main train stations in all the major districts. Just brace yourself for the crowds.
Tokyo's bus service is reliable, and despite initial doubt, is actually easy to use. The 200 Yen flat fare also makes it a nice cheap option.
Unless you're fluent in Japanese (and that doesn't include over-enthusiastic arm gestures, yelling or pointing), catching a taxi can be a hard task, not to mention a costly one.
Tokyo Information
A monster metropolis, with immense wealth, size and absurd contradictions, Tokyo is not for the faint of heart. A clash of consumerism, über-modernity and whispers of ancient tradition, the city is a dynamic, hyperactive force.
With a metro population of over 35 million people, the Greater Tokyo Area can intimidate the most fearless tourist. A cursory tour of Tokyo however, should focus on the cluster of special wards that form the urban schematic of the city. From historic Arakawa and vibrant Chuo, to the parks of Kita, Tokyo is first and foremost, a regional prefecture. Swallow the city one bite at a time, in order to appreciate Tokyo as a whole.
With more attractions than you can shake a samurai sword at, where to start? For many, the Ginza quarter in Chuo City is the first line item on the Tokyo itinerary. A famous neon skyline soars above electronic shops, department stores and myriad restaurants and bars.
For shrines and Imperial landmarks, Itabashi, Nakano, Katsushika and Ota are the best areas within Tokyo, where millions visit extraordinary temples like Narihira, Arai Yakushi and Ikegami Honmon-ji every year.
The Tokyo National Museum in Ueno Park has over 100,000 works on display and remains the facility of record for the preservation and edification of Japanese culture. Other world class museums include the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art and Miraikan Science and Innovation Museum.
Despite a false reputation as a cold hub of steel and glass, Tokyo has an endowment of beautiful park space. The best and most prominent parks are Ueno, Shakujii and Yoyogi, popular oases where people relax, picnic, exercise and marvel at the cherry blossoms in spring.
The ward of Chiyoda contains Edo Castle, a premier historical site that dates back to the Imperial period of the same name. Built in 1457, the castle and complex landmarks hail from a bygone era in Japan that, apart from film and manga, seldom few see traces of in the West.
More Events
A colossal city like Tokyo is bound to offer a legion of festivals throughout the year. Celebrations in the city center on spiritual heritage, the arts and culture.
Sanja Matsuri, one of three landmark Shinto festivals in Tokyo, is held at the Asakusa Shrine, honors the foundation of a vital Buddhist shrine. Held over three days in late May, the delirious and wild celebration draws up to 2 million people.
For a venerable taste of Japanese culture, a sumo basho is the cardinal event. The sacred competitions crown the best sumo in Japan, with capacity crowds at Ryōgoku Kokugikan stadium in Tokyo.
Traditional kabuki theater is a rare spectacle you can only witness in authentic form in Japan. The Kabuki-za in Ginza is a historic and architecturally relevant venue in which to do just that.
On the other side of the cultural divide, a Yomiuri Giants baseball game at the Tokyo Dome is a strange and wonderful experience for anyone unfamiliar with Japanese fan rituals.
Tokyo Climate
The city of Tokyo has a subtropical climate, with intense humidity as a result of the urban landscape and considerable population. Tokyo summers bring rain, while winters, despite occasional snowfall, are dry.
- Winter (November to February) -2-16°C
- Spring (March to May) 2-22°C
- Summer (June to August) 17-30°C
- Fall (September to October) 13-26°C

|Sugar Mountain Annexation a no-go
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 28 May 2007 06:33
Last week, Judge James Downs ruled the forced annexation of several areas around the Village of Sugar Mountain was unlawful.Based on the findings, the petitioners will be reimbursed of all court costs. Officials within the Village are hinting a possible appeal may be in order. The decision was a victory for the Citizens Against the Annexation who has spent the last year making signs and petitions, including a large billboard on highway 105.

Topic Title: Monitoring of LED AGL Fittings
Topic Summary: Is the monitoring of LED AGL fittings necessary

Attached are my thoughts on the monitoring of LED AGL fittings. I would appreciate other members comments/thoughts on this subject.
The monitoring of AGL fittings to detect lamp failure was introduced for a number of reasons, maintenance requirements, etc, but primarily, to warn of adjacent lamp failure which may affect the service pattern of an AGL circuit with the possibility of showing an incorrect visual signal to a pilot.
Originally, defective lamps were detected via Lamp Failure Detection (LFD) incorporated in the Constant Current Regulator (CCR). These monitoring circuits were not always particularly accurate; they required setting up and calibrating when the series circuit was commissioned. This was not always done. Also, interleaved circuits posed the problem that lamp failure on one service, Runway Centreline for instance, would not, necessarily, indicate if there were more than one lamp out in the service and you could not monitor the actual location of the failed lamp(s)
With the advent of Individual Lamp Control & Monitoring Systems (ILCMS) it was now possible to monitor each fitting for lamp failure and its position in the circuit, thereby being able to detect if there was adjacent lamp failure affecting the service pattern.
Most Regulatory Authorities around the World stipulate that certain AGL services should be/must be monitored for Service Pattern interruption due to adjacent lamp failure. Traditional Tungsten Halogen lamps are not consistent in quality and are not necessarily the most reliable of components usually having only a performance life of around 1000-1500 hrs, so with the introduction and implementation of LED light sources in AGL fittings with its inherent reliability and reported life of approx 56000 hrs the performance capability of LED taxiway fittings were greatly enhanced.
However, some regulatory authorities are still insisting on monitoring these fittings.
Let's look again at the original reason for monitoring the lamps:
- Detection of adjacent lamp failure to ensure integrity of service pattern
- Inconsistent quality of TH lamps giving questionable performance affecting the correct performance of the visual signal.
However, it is not just the lamp that can affect the performance of a fitting, partial/total short circuit of filament, dirty/cracked lens, water ingress in the fitting, broken filters, incorrect series circuit current, faulty series transformer, lamp performance below 50%, etc. can all affect the performance creating an incorrect visual signal. Lamp failure monitoring does not provide any feedback of these problems. It only monitors one reason for lack of performance, the light source, albeit the main reason and even then it can't detect short circuit of the filament.
The same parameters for compliant performance also apply to LED fittings, however, the main reason, failure of the light source, is greatly reduced due to its extended life and reliability compared to a TH lamp. The LED is one of the most reliable components in an LED fitting.
Therefore why do we need to monitor only one component that is proven to be unlikely to fail? Recent evaluations of over 6000 LED taxiway fittings installed on one airport over a period of 7 years have shown the reliability of LED fittings, 64 failures with over 50% of these due to mechanical damage, not component or LED failure, gives a calculated MTBF of over 70,000 hrs against 900 hrs for a TH fitting. Not one returned fitting had an LED failure.
Why introduce sophisticated monitoring circuits at extra cost to monitor the unlikely, only one component of potential failure, and reduce the MTBF?
One reason is the interpretation that some regulatory authorities put on the ICAO requirements.
The requirements of ICAO are that the failure of fittings, especially adjacent fittings, should not affect the service pattern creating an incorrect visual cue to a pilot. Only providing Lamp Failure Monitoring does not fully satisfy this requirement.
As we have mentioned above the failure of a light source (lamp or LED) is only one potential cause of an incorrect visual cue.
Also, dependence on LFD technology to warn of non-performing lights can lead to complacency in the maintenance of AGL services.
The best way of checking for compliant performance of AGL fittings is to conduct photometric measurement utilising a mobile photometric measurement device, however, in normal Airport operations this is impractical as access to Runways and Taxiways to conduct these measurements on a daily basis would affect Aircraft operations. However, this is recommended for regular (weekly, at large Airports) checking as part of a maintenance regime to establish that the AGL is compliant to ICAO or National Civil Aviation regulatory requirements for photometric performance.
Most Airports conduct visual checks twice a day to comply with International or National requirements and this is the most practical way of detecting non-performing AGL fittings. This procedure provides a visual check on the AGL fittings between Photometric Measurement checks.
Let's summarise the issue:
- There is a regulatory requirement to avoid non-performance of AGL Fittings that could affect a service pattern of an AGL circuit. (especially adjacent lamp failure)
- There are a number of reasons that could create the non-performance of an AGL fitting. (Partial/Total short circuit of the filament, Lamp failure, dirty/damaged lens, water ingress, faulty series transformer, incorrect current input, lamp performance below 50%, etc)
- Lamp Failure Monitoring only provides feedback of one of these reasons.
- Lamp Failure Monitoring technology incorporated in the CCR or AGL fitting creates more complexity in the series circuit infrastructure thus reducing the effective MTBF of the circuit.
- LED's have proven to be extremely reliable in the application of light sources for AGL fittings. (>250,000hrs)
- Daily visual inspections are carried out by the majority of Airports.
Therefore, should we review the value of Lamp Failure Monitoring when applied to LED fittings? Has the implementation of LED fittings removed the need for Lamp Failure Monitoring?
The installation of LED fittings has already been proven to greatly reduce the requirements for maintenance and service improving the availability of taxiway systems. This has greatly reduced maintenance costs. Energy costs have also been reduced.
Costs can be further reduced by removing the cost of Lamp Failure Monitoring of LED fittings without compromising safety.
This would also improve the integrity of the series circuit by increasing the MTBF.
26 July 2011 01:30 PM
A very interesting topic and one worthy of some further debate I am sure. A good case is made for the removal of the current complexity, caused by the Lamp Failure Monitoring requirements, being judged against the lack of recorded failures of LED lamps. However, is there enough data available to support this? Is one airport even with 6000 fittings installed for a seven year period a suitable and sufficient sample.
What experiences do other Airports have and what are the implications if the Lamp Failure Monitoring requirements were modified?
Is there anybody on the AOA Technical Committee, involved with LED fitting trials, who could provide some additional input?

Dear all, I'm fairly new to the airfield lighting industry, but have been asked by my company to assist in inspection, commissioning a new 4km runway, in Calgary. Its currently building a new international terminal, new runway, and 3 tunnels.
One of the problems they currently have is the monitoring of led fixtures, which they would like to use, but considering the size of the airport, forgive the lack of correct airfield lingo, perhaps the rating of the airport is better terminology. They are a little bit lary regarding lamp failure monitoring gear. Do any of you have experience with led monitoring ccts or monitors that have been suitably accurate. The new controls package going in is by ADB.
Thanks in advance

Serotypes Profile of Salmonella Isolates from Meat and Poultry Products January 1998 through December 2012
Tables and figures are available in the PDF version of this document, beginning on page 5.
This report is the 2012 annual report of the Salmonella serotype data. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) conducts Salmonella serotype testing at all facilities producing select classes of food-animal carcasses and raw ground products under the Pathogen Reduction Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (PR/HACCP) program[1]. Results are published once a year. The Agency believes that this information can serve as a basis for comparison of PR/HACCP data over time and provide an opportunity to examine the association between serotypes isolated from meat and poultry products and serotypes isolated from human salmonellosis cases in the United States (3).
In the early- to mid- 1990s FSIS conducted nationwide microbiological baseline studies that estimated the prevalence and levels of bacteria of public health concern, and used these to develop performance standards for carcasses of cow/bulls, steers/heifers, market hogs[2], broilers and also ground beef, ground chicken, and ground turkey (5). In July 1996, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) published the PR/HACCP Systems, Final Rule, which established Salmonella performance standards for establishments that slaughter or produce selected classes of food animals or raw ground products (4). The Salmonella performance standards provide a measurable standard by which industry can calibrate their HACCP systems and FSIS inspection personnel can monitor the effectiveness of an establishment's HACCP controls. The performance standards include a description of the maximum number of positive samples acceptable in a sample set. The number of samples in a sample set varies by product class. Later, in June, 2006, FSIS implemented Salmonella performance standards for turkey carcasses. Most recently, in 2011, FSIS implemented new performance standards for Salmonella and Campylobacter in poultry carcasses (chicken/turkey) (10).
Prior to 2006, there were two phases of the PR/HACCP for Salmonella in raw products: non-targeted and targeted testing. FSIS collected non-targeted or "A" set samples at establishments randomly selected from the population of eligible establishments with a goal of scheduling every eligible establishment at least once a year. Establishments that failed a set underwent targeted testing, which includes "B", "C", and "D" sets.
In June 2006, FSIS began to schedule establishments based on new criteria that are risk-based, rather than random (6). The new scheduling criteria focused FSIS resources on establishments with the most Salmonella-positive samples, including serotypes most frequently associated with human salmonellosis as defined by the CDC. As a result of this change in sampling, results from establishments prior to 2006 cannot be compared to those taken from 2006 onwards.
The results presented here provide an estimate of relative serotype distributions in raw products for each product class during the 16-year period following implementation of the PR/HACCP final rule (1996-2012).
FSIS inspection personnel randomly collect and submit product samples from specified establishments to one of three FSIS Field Service Laboratories (FSLs) in Athens, GA, Alameda, CA, or St. Louis, MO for Salmonella analysis (4). Prior to 2012, isolates of Salmonella-positive samples were sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) for serotyping. Since 2012, the Salmonella isolates have been serotyped by the Outbreaks Section of the Eastern Laboratory (OSEL) at the FSL in Athens, GA, using a molecular serotyping method developed by the CDC (9, 11). Any sample that cannot be serotyped using this method is sent to the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's (APHIS) National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, Iowa, for traditional serotyping methodology (antisera agglutination).
Salmonella serotype sample results are stored in the FSIS Data Warehouse (DW). The DW is the Agency's primary repository for data across FSIS for use in data analysis and reporting.
The tables presented in this report identify the ten most common Salmonella serotypes isolated annually per specific product class (1998-2012). When more than one serotype ranks in tenth place, each serotype in tenth place is listed (Tables 1-8). Therefore, the 10 most common serotypes isolated from a specified product class during a given year are identified by name while less commonly identified serotypes are included in the "other serotypes" category. Each table includes the number of isolates of each serotype and category, the percent of total serotyped isolates, and the percent of total samples collected.
In 2012 there were 1,312 Salmonella-positive meat or poultry samples analyzed and serotyped by FSIS. The 10 most common serotypes identified were:
- Kentucky (311/1312)
- Enteritidis (205/1312)
- Typhimurium (125/1312)
- Heidelberg (100/1312)
- Montevideo (95/1312)
- Schwarzengrund (37/1312)
- Hadar (37/1312)
- Infantis (35/1312)
- Thompson (31/1312)
- Dublin (30/1312)
- I 4,[5],12:i:- (30/1312)
In 2012, the CDC identified Enteritidis, Typhimurium (including Typhimurium var. 5-), Newport, Javiana, I 4,[5],12:i:-, Montevideo, Heidelberg, Muenchen, Infantis, and Braenderup as the ten most commonly identified serotypes causing human salmonellosis in the United States (3). The serotypes found in meat and poultry products that were among this list were Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Heidelberg, Infantis and I 4,[5],12:i:- and Montevideo.
Figure 2 identifies the proportion of these serotypes out of the total salmonellae isolated through PR/HACCP testing of meat and poultry products. There was year-to-year variation both within and between product classes of these more commonly isolated human serotypes.
Tables include entries classified as "not typed" and "unidentified" in the serotype profile. "Not typed" Salmonella entries were not able to be serotyped. Unidentified entries include isolates in which a single specific serotype could not be determined, those partially serotyped, and those identified as monophasic[3] or nonmotile[4].
Figure 1 displays, by year, the most common serotype isolated in young chicken/broilers and the percentage of each serotype isolated in each product class during the previous 15 years.
FSIS compares the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data on serotypes isolated from human cases of salmonellosis to data on Salmonella serotypes isolated from meat and poultry products (2, 3). Some of the more common serotypes isolated from meat and poultry products are rarely isolated from human patients. Conversely, some of the serotypes frequently responsible for human cases of salmonellosis occur in various meat and poultry products. Of course, human salmonellosis cases are also attributable to non-FSIS regulated foods, and to non- food sources. FSIS continues to work with its public health partners to identify the proportion of human salmonellosis attributable to FSIS-regulated products.
The PR/HACCP Salmonella verification program was designed to evaluate the performance of FSIS regulated establishments using prescribed performance standards. Since the sampling program uses a risk-based sampling method, the collected data does not represent the national prevalence of serotypes within a respective product class. In response to this limitation, FSIS is considering changing its current set-based sampling to a continuous sampling model using moving windows to assess process control (8).
The restructuring of Salmonella set scheduling prevents the comparison of results from 2006 onwards to previous years. To be able to compare laboratory results, periodic nationwide baseline study results provide valid estimates of the prevalence of certain pathogens of public health concern and allow for valid statistical comparisons over time.
[1] Egg products under jurisdiction of USDA/FSIS are not currently under HACCP regulations.
[2] FSIS suspended scheduling cows/bulls from sampling in 2011 and market hogs and steer/heifers in 2012 because of the low number of positive samples.
[3] Monophasic means that the Salmonella will produce only one kind of flagellin based on its genetic make-up.
[4] Non motile means that there is no genetic code in the Salmonella for the development of functional flagellin.

Retrieving Send commands
To create a Send menu in your application, you must retrieve a set of commands to include in the menu. Each command corresponds to an application that BlackBerry device users can use to send content from your application. For example, you can retrieve commands that correspond to sending an email message, an SMS text message, and so on.
You can use the SendCommandRepository class to retrieve commands to use in a Send menu. The SendCommandRepository class contains all of the commands that are registered on the device, and you can include these commands in the Send menu. The SendCommandRepository class is a singleton class, and you can retrieve the singleton instance of this class by invoking the static SendCommandRepository.getInstance(). You can then retrieve an array of commands by invoking get(). Commands are represented by SendCommand objects, and so invoking get() returns an array of SendCommand objects.
When you invoke get() to retrieve commands, you must provide a set of parameters that defines the types of commands that you want this method to return. The following table describes the parameters that you must provide and how each parameter affects the types of commands that you receive.
The get() method returns SendCommand objects that support both the type and the context that you specify. For example, if you specify a type of SendCommand.TYPE_PATH, the array of SendCommand objects that you receive from get() will not include a command that is associated with sending an SMS text message because files cannot be sent using SMS text messages.
You can use the following code snippet to retrieve a set of commands from a SendCommandRepository. These commands are associated with applications that support sending text content to a recipient, such as the Messages application, and do not include commands that are associated with applications that cannot be opened.
SendCommand[] sendCommands = SendCommandRepository.getInstance().get(SendCommand.TYPE_TEXT, context, false);

Every day in Utah, low and moderate income families are reaching their goals of self-sufficiency by participating in Fair Credit Foundation's Utah IDA Network. The program is a multi-faceted financial education program designed to provide low-income Utah individuals and families with the opportunity, incentive, and institutional support necessary for them to save for and acquire productive assets that promise higher income, new wealth and long-term self sufficiency.
Through matched savings accounts, known as Individual Development Accounts or IDAs, low-wage workers put aside a portion of their monthly income and participate in ongoing, required financial management training. For every dollar a participant saves, up to $1,500, the Utah IDA Network pays $3.
This means that those who complete the program can walk away with as much as $6,000 to use toward the purchase of one of four qualifying productive assets: a first home, college or vocational education, starting or growing a small business, or a work related assistive technology.
Jordan has a degree in mechanical engineer and he talked about how a lot of his friends and that they were taking easy majors in college without thinking about the ROI. He purchased a small 1951 2 bedroom 1 ¾ bathroom house in Helper with a garage that sits on .89 acre of land. He took the classes in Price from Ellen Serfustini when he was doing an internship and was able to save for his down payment.
"Our work is based on the principles of responsible financial management. We reduce poverty by bringing basic economic understanding and skills to those who have little or no experience managing their limited assets," said Martha Wunderli, UIDAN State Director.
With support from United Way of Eastern Utah and other community partners including USU Extension, BEARS, Wabi Sabi, Southeastern Utah Community Development Corporation, Green River Epicenter, San Juan County Economic and Tourism Board, and local Small Business Development Centers, Fair Credit Foundation has been able to expand the program into Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan, Uintah, Daggett, and Duchesne counties. Twenty-six 26 families from Eastern Utah have participated in the program to date, program graduates have purchased 4 homes, started or capitalized 10 small businesses, and 7 educations purchases.
"It's truly amazing to see what people can accomplish when given the right supports," said Preston Cochrane, President and CEO of AAA Fair Credit Foundation. "Our IDA Savers consistently save at higher levels, in both percentage of income and frequency, than the national average. This has remained true even when our nation's economy as a whole has declined."

Though I admire your effort and I can see where you are going with the forums, I can't say I am too pleased.
As I mentioned earlierI don't mind providing the ocasional Windows support. However, Just this morning I saw more Windows support requests than linux. Thoguh I don't mind helping there, I would have joined a Windows forum if I wanted to deal with Windows support.
I understand the need to integrate linux with mainstream systems in order for it to grow. However, I don't think that providing Windows support here will accomplish that. We will just become another generic computer support forum.
It frustrates me that we (senior LJR members) did not had any say when the LinuxJunior-OpenFree merger happened. I sucked it up and decided to give it a chance. Now it is apparent we also have no say on this forum either. Though I was not around, I believe that was the reason LJR opened as an alternative to LinuxNewbie.
I am not saying I am leaving the forum. However, I am thinking of spending more of the time I used to spend here on other Linux-specific forums.

At a slim 0.87 inches, the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS digital camera is super-thin, making it a perfect choice for those who desire a small camera that fits easily in a pocket. With five cool metallic colors to choose from (Purple, Blue, Pink, Green and Silver), there's a PowerShot ELPH 310 HS that fits your style.
Despite its slim profile, the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS houses a powerful Genuine Canon 8x Optical Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. The zoom starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 224mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), covering a wide and highly useful range. The telephoto reach gives you the freedom to capture subjects from afar, while the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall buildings.
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.
Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. Actual prices are determined by individual dealers and may vary.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö Working in the world of European fashion design, Tina Melo-Kufner knows all about the importance of predicting trends. Yet, many artists can be so engrossed in their respective craft that they donŌĆÖt pay attention to what consumers, and particularly the fashionistas, are clamoring for. Putting those two worlds together is the philosophy behind Melo-KufnerŌĆÖs latest business venture, Melo International.
With a large new gallery in mill space at 560 Mineral Spring Ave., Suite 204, Melo-Kufner has her concept on display. One-of-a-kind clothing, jewelry, pottery, glassware, paintings, sculpture and photographs adorn the expansive walls. Items are grouped according to color, style and theme, fitting in with such trends as ŌĆ£nature,ŌĆØ with its earthy tones, wood, fiber arts and other natural materials, and ŌĆ£water,ŌĆØ featuring items in colors, materials and designs inspired by the sea.
ŌĆ£I'm predicting lifestyle trends, not fads,ŌĆØ said Melo-Kufner, noting that fashion items and home d├®cor crafted from and/or inspired by nature or spiritual realms are classic and timeless. She held a soft opening for the gallery in June and has an official grand opening party planned for Friday. The public is invited to a reception from 5:30 to 10 p.m.
Even more importantly, Melo-Kufner is using digital, video and social media to promote the gallery and its artists. This is a significant expansion of the concept she was trying to launch last year at her former, short-lived Galeria International on Main Street. ŌĆ£I'm exposing, promoting, and marketing artists and designers to the world so they can be recognized,ŌĆØ she stated. ŌĆ£My vision and mission of Melo International is all about artists and designers coming together to create the lifestyle trends and ŌĆśone-of-a-kindŌĆÖ pieces for the public and the industry as one.ŌĆØ
Melo International's artists and work were recently featured in ŌĆ£The Story of the Creative,ŌĆØ an international showcase of talent sponsored by the website See.Me. The galleryŌĆÖs video was previewed at a gala opening at the Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Arts in New York City. It was also exhibited for several weeks at the See Exhibition Space in Long Island City, N.Y., and projected onto a skyscraper earlier this month as part of an event called Creatives Rising.
Hundreds of visitors attended these exhibits and viewed the Melo International video, and hundreds more from around the world responded through Facebook and other social media sites. Embracing the digital age and marketing through video and social media is something that all serious artists and designers need to be doing, Melo-Kufner notes.
Melo-Kufner is also other working collaboratively with the newly launched Rhode Island Creative Magazine, which featured an article on Melo International in a recent issue. She is also taking part in an online crowdsourcing project, where earning the top number of ŌĆ£likesŌĆØ on the website could win gallery space in New York City ŌĆö another boon for her stable of exhibiting artists.
Melo, a Cumberland resident and graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, lived and worked in Europe for many years before returning to Rhode Island. She worked as a fashion and design analyst for several clothing and textile manufacturers, and later launched her own company, The Melo Report, providing a source of fashion trends for the garment and home accessories industries.
Heavily involved in the local arts scene, Melo-Kufner said she knows there are many talented artists and designers out there who are creating beautiful pieces, but donŌĆÖt know enough about sales and marketing. ŌĆ£Many are working in a vacuum. They come to me and say, ŌĆśIŌĆÖm not a sales person. Can you help me?ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ says Melo-Kufner. She said she helps them with guidance on the up-and-coming looks and themes in fashion and home d├®cor, as well as how to best market and promote their items.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm helping artists produce things according to the trends,ŌĆØ she stated.
Sometimes, artists benefit by collaborating with other artists, designers and craftspeople, and Melo-Kufner has taken this approach with many of the people she is representing in her gallery. For example, she carries a line that features jewelry, T-shirts, photographs and kitchen accessories depicting X-rays of animals and sea creatures that have been artistically manipulated and colored.
Melo-Kufner brought the original artist, a podiatrist who began working artistically with x-rays, in contact with a jewelry designer to reproduce the eerily beautiful images on pendants for necklaces and bracelets. She also had the images printed on a line of T-shirts and reproduced again on glass cutting boards and other decorative items.
Also important to her concept is education, and Melo-Kufner recently received a grant from the cityŌĆÖs arts panel to teach fashion design to children and young adults.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm also promoting the educational aspect of the arts,ŌĆØ she said, noting that one of the galleryŌĆÖs featured painters is a girl of 11. She holds classes at her gallery for children as young as 5, and also offers private lessons for adults.
Aside from FridayŌĆÖs grand opening, the Melo-International Gallery is open to the public on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is also open on weekends by appointment.

Do we have to go to the opening ceremony?
In a word..YES.
No matter how many times you have been before, we strongly encourage ALL coaches and players to attend the Opening Ceremonies. It shows the strength of our soccer community, and is the one time our entire soccer family can be together to have one big party. It is extremely disapppointing to some players and families when only a few players show up for their team.
What is the ID card?
To help keep the sidelines in order, we require that ONLY the team coaches (and their players) are allowed in the coaches box. This year, coaches and assistant coaches in u10-u14 must wear an official Region 88 Coach ID card.
Once a coach fulfills all his coaching requirements, he or she will be sent an official ID card in the mail. Each coach will be also given a lanyard before the season begins, to hold the card.
What does the coach need to do for the team zone?
The username and passwords will be sent in mid-August. When you receive your account, please try to update your Team Info right away. (Team Zone Instructions for Coaches) . If you did not receive an account, please see the Team Zone FAQ list.
In the Team Zone area, for your unique team, each coach will be able to:
- Edit your team information, such as team name, colors, contact info, etc.
- Editing your parent's email list NEED THIS TO CREATE THE SNACKLIST
- Create a Snacklist for your team's schedule
- Print a Team Schedule
- Add a "News Item" to your Team web page
- Add a "Game Summary" to your Team web page
- Delete a News Item or Game Summary
- SCORELINE : Easily send in game scores
What if I did not receive my coach's shirt, badge or need some field equipment?
Please email your Division Coordinator with what you need, and they will contact the Purchasing Coordinator. Do not contact the Purchasing Coordinator directly.
Do we have to have a team banner?
Region 88 strongly recommends that all teams have a banner to show off during the opening parade and throughout the season.
Do Asst. Coaches need to submit a volunteer form and go to the Safe Haven and other clinics?
Yes, they need to fulfill the same requirments as the Head Coach. See Coaching requirements.
I sent in my scores to Scoreline, but don't see the updates in the team zone. Why not?
If you do not set it up by the Wedensday after your game, please contact your Division Coordinator. They update the scores when they receive score confirmation from both coaches.

Endoscopic sinus surgery is done to open the passages of the sinuses. This allows for proper drainage to the nose. It is called an endoscopic procedure because the doctor uses an endoscope (a small, rigid tube with a light and a camera lens at the end) to view the inside of the nose. Small incisions or cuts are made to allow the scope to pass. The cuts are usually made inside of the nose. The doctor may create new passages or open existing ones by removing polyps, cysts, or thickened mucous membranes.
Endoscopic sinus surgery usually takes between one and three hours. It is done in the operating room. The child is under general anesthesia.
Most young children spend the night in the hospital. Some older children may stay for only a couple of hours after surgery, once they are stable.
If needed, endoscopic sinus surgery may be done at the same time as another operation, such as septoplasty, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, or insertion of ear tubes.
Your child will have intravenous (IV) fluids until they are allowed to go home. Your child may be given clear liquids to drink in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), also called the recovery room.
Your child may complain of a sore nose, not being able to breathe through the nose, and difficulty swallowing.
A pain reliever may be given for pain. An antibiotic is sometimes prescribed to prevent infection.
The head of the bed in the PACU will be raised to help with swelling, breathing, and drainage. At home you should have pillows or a recliner chair available to help your child keep his or her head elevated above the level of the chest.
There may be packing in the nose to prevent bleeding. Sometimes, this packing is dissolvable. The doctor may remove this packing in one or two weeks or it may dissolve on its own. If the packing needs to be removed, it may be done in the doctor's office for older, cooperative children, or may be done in the operation room under anesthesia.
If a septoplasty (straightening of the bone and cartilage in the center of the nose) is done, then splints may be placed inside the nose at the end of the operation. These will be removed at the doctor's office in 1 to 2 weeks and may cause some discomfort while they are in place. If packing is used, your child may be able to feel it in his or her nose. Your child should be told before surgery that they may feel like they have something in their nose when they wake up. If packing is not used, swelling may cause this feeling. Your child should know that he or she will not be allowed to forcefully blow his or her nose for a week or two.
At first, there may be some drainage from the nose. You may see a small piece of gauze taped under your child's nose. This is called a "drip pad." This catches any drainage from the nose, which should gradually decrease, and is usually only needed for the first day, if at all. The drainage from the nose will probably be slightly colored with blood. Your child may cough or spit up some pink or brown mucus.
Most children are fussy the first few hours after this procedure.
Your child may begin normal play after several days, but may need to stay home from school until the discomfort improves. Talk with your child's health care provider for more specific instructions.
Your child's health care provider may recommend the use of nasal ointment, salt water spray, or nasal steroid spray after surgery. Follow instructions carefully.
If your child has any of these symptoms, you should contact your child's health care provider right away:
Bright red bleeding from the nose or mouth
Seeing double, or having trouble seeing
A continued leak of clear fluid from the nose
Vomiting bright red blood or a coffee ground-like material
A croupy (barky) cough, cry, or wheezing
A fever greater than 101.5 degrees rectally or greater than 100.5 degrees orally
Vomiting (or if the vomiting becomes severe)
Signs of dehydration (a child can become dehydrated when he or she has prolonged or severe vomiting and is not able to drink enough fluid)
A visit with your child's health care provider will be scheduled for one to two weeks after surgery. Many additional follow-up appointments will be needed in the months after surgery to make sure that the nose is healing properly. Talk with your child's health care provider if you have any questions.

|Chief Owen Tolbert; Saying Goodbye
|Written by Aaron Miller, BRPD
|Tuesday, 18 December 2012 10:21
I am writing the brief sheet this morning as we prepare to officially say goodbye to Police Chief Retired Owen Tolbert. As I am sure most of you know, Owen passed away last Friday. Owen, as I am sure he would want me to call him served as a police officer at the Blowing Rock Police Department
from March 1980 until his retirement in December 2006.
Owen became Police Chief in May of 1991 and led our police department for the next 15 years. As a police chief, Owen was well respected by his officers and staff as well as the folks in our community.
Owen was far more than a police officer and police chief. Owen was a husband, father, uncle, cousin and to most of us friend. Owen was our friend. Those of you who knew him knew that he was always upbeat, always friendly and someone you could count on. Owen liked to have fun and was someone you enjoyed seeing out in Town.
For those who worked under Owen and who served as law enforcement officers during his tenure, Owen was a mentor. Owen set an example as to how we should live good Christian life, how we should conduct ourselves as law enforcement officers and how we should related to our fellow man. I very much appreciate the example Owen set.
Today I don't have any statistics or briefings of the latest stories. Today we are focused on honoring our friend Owen and lending our support to his family.

Any cultural institution worth its salt attracts more than a few apocryphal stories regarding its founding and evolution. The following, however, do not qualify as such. They are facts (in some cases, facts pertaining to the actual existence and circulation of apocrypha) about the Newberry's history that, lack of fictional embellishment notwithstanding, might surprise you.
The Newberry's founder, Walter L. Newberry, died at sea in 1868. A rumor circulated at the time that Newberry's body had been preserved shipboard, sent home, and eventually buried in an empty rum-cask. In truth, Newberry's remains were initially preserved in the cask and then interred in a proper casket in Chicago.
Eliphalet W. Blatchford, the first president of the Newberry's board of trustees, took a very hands-on approach to library administration, even personally instructing Newberry janitors in his preferred method for sweeping the floors.
John Vance Cheney became the Newberry's second librarian in 1894. He was a well-known poet and newspaper critic of his time. In 1909 he retired to California to continue to write poetry and to manufacture hair tonic.
Case Wing Y 4902 M27 is the call number of the book commonly referred to as the "human-skin binding." The book launched its own mythology: an inscription on the first leaf of the volume actually says "bound in human skin." But after careful lab work, the Newberry Conservation Department would determine that the book's binding material is not human skin but highly burnished goat.
The Newberry's first Shakespeare First Folio, acquired in 1890, was sold in 1965 after the library acquired another First Folio in the purchase of the private collection of Louis H. Silver, which rendered the 1890-acquired folio a saleable duplicate.

Winterize your Vans...

Had the idea walking home last night in the rain... Filson had rain drops beading off it and the vans were soaked...lightbulb.

You crazy for this one Plett haha. I just ordered some wax, but my vans have holes in the toes so it would be redundant. This might inspire me to look around for what else could use a proofing though.

Nice idea. I wore my Jack Purcells out the other day - the problem wasn't soaking, but freezing. Of course, I live in northern Finland and it was -20'C so that might have been the problem. :)

Good idea. I was just wondering how I can make my canvas shoes last through the winter.
Anyone have good tips for cleaning the canvas before hand? I have those Sperry/Band of Outsider canvas boots, and they're salted up to hell from the last winter.

You can buy cleaners specifically formulated for taking off salt. I forgot the name off the top of my head, but I even use it on my heavier-duty Vasque hiking boots after a winter of salt/sludge soup.

Showa Denko reinforces supply of high-purity gases to semiconductor industry in Asia

The citys Planning Board will discuss on Tuesday a tabled site plan for a 12,500-square-foot multiuse addition for Parkside Bible Church, 491 Eastern Blvd. The church wants to build the addition to accommodate more classroom space and a gymnasium/multiuse room.
In October, the Planning Board delayed taking action on the site plans for the $1.5 million project because it had concerns about access for fire trucks. The church has submitted modified plans that address the concerns.
The citys Planning Department also has raised concerns about 43 mature trees that would be lost because church officials want to open that part of the property for lawn areas. The Planning Department would like to keep those trees, noting their importance for the urban forest in that area.
Last week, city officials said the issue over the trees may have been worked out. The Planning Board meets at 7 p.m. in the third-floor council chambers of City Hall, 245 Washington St.

Do you promote good financial health at your agency? Do you simply want to make sure that people remember the name of your business and think of saving money when they do?
Promotional piggy banks are a great way to make sure that customers pay attention to your business name and logo because they are something that they can actually use. Whether they toss the piggy bank on the kitchen table to collect spare change, or simply give them to their children to use they will be in their line of sight on a regular basis. When it comes to marketing, line of sight is very important because this is how you make sure that your clients and their friends regularly see your business.
The more people that are exposed to a company logo the better, and that is why there is no time like the present to invest in some logo piggy banks that you can hand out to clients, potential clients, and employees.
