Approval of Minutes: Mr. Clancy moved to accept the minutes of September 1, 2004. Mrs. Kelly seconded and the motion passed 6-0-1, with Mrs. Sutton abstaining.
The Newtown Township Park and Recreation Board met on Wednesday, September 1, 2004, in the Newtown Township Building. In attendance and voting were: Andrew Levine, Chairman; Joel Grosso, Vice-Chairman; Michael Clancy, John Davis, Kathy Kelly, Buck O'Neill, and Susan Sutton, members. Also in attendance were Scott Harp, Township Supervisor; Allen Fidler, Planning Commission Liaison and Russell G. Strover, Naturalist.
Call to Order
Mr. Levine called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM.
The agenda was reviewed.
Mr. Levine asked those in attendance who wished to speak on the Woll Tract plans to sign in. He also provided forms for written comment. He suggested that the two presentations of new business be moved to the top of the agenda.
Mr. Grosso moved to alter the agenda to hear presentations from Bucks County Community College and Newtown Racquetball Club to the top of the agenda. Mr. Davis seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Bucks County Community College – Sketch Plan
Mr. John Watkins, Architect, Mr. Mark Grisso, Facilities Manager and Ms. Donna Weaver, Engineer, presented a plan to expand the existing Music and Art Building at Bucks County Community College. Mr. Watkins said that the addition would be three stories high with entrances at ground level and at the second level. He said that the footprint is 3800 square feet. He said that the original Music and Art Building had been erected in 1996, at which time the college had gone through the land development process with the Township.
Mr. Grisso said that the Community college sits on a 202-acre lot, and with the addition, 100 acres would remain as open space.
Mr. Levine moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors waive any preservation or fee in lieu of open space requirement because of the pre-existing open space already provided and the non-profit nature of the Community College. Mr. Clancy seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Newtown Racquetball Club – Preliminary Plan
Mr. Jason Engelhart of Langon Engineering, presented a preliminary plan for an expansion of the Newtown Racquetball Club pool area. He noted that the expansion planned would include a pool and some additional space. The pool would be a children's pool, and the additional space might be used for party rooms, additional locker rooms, or meeting rooms. The total square footage of the expansion is 14,000 square feet, with an 11,300 square foot building footprint.
Mr. Engelhart said that a plan had been presented to this Board a year ago, but it has been changed. He said that a few variances had been granted by the Zoning Hearing Board for parking.
Mr. Levine said that he was not sure of the fee in lieu of open space for this expansion, and asked Mr. Engelhart to contact the Township Codes Department to calculate the fee, then contact this Board with the number. (The fee has been calculated at $14,622.)
Mr. Levine moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors accept a fee in lieu of open space for this project. Mrs. Sutton seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Approval of Minutes
Mr. Clancy moved to accept the minutes of July 7, 2004. Mr. Davis seconded and the motion passed 6-0-1, with Mr. O'Neill abstaining.
Mrs. Kelly moved to accept the minutes of August 4, 2004. Mr. Grosso seconded and the motion passed 5-0-2, with Messrs. Davis and O'Neill abstaining.
Public Comment
Mr. Levine provided copies of the section of the Newtown Township Comprehensive Recreation Plan dated April 21, 1999 dealing with development of the Woll Tract for active recreation. He noted that the access to the park has not been chosen yet. He also noted that the playing fields depicted on the plan are what was thought to be required in 1999, and community needs and preferences might have changed, and that the plans would be adapted accordingly. He asked that residents limit their comments to discussion of facilities to be located in the park. He said that a special meeting on September 29, 2004 would address lighting for playing fields. If residents wished to comment on whether they would like to see lighted fields they could indicate so this evening, but discussion of selection of lights or placement of lights would be discussed at the September 29th meeting.
Resident Amy Fallik commented that she did not see any softball fields on the plan. She said that she would like the Woll Tract developed as a sports park with softball fields, restrooms and a snack shed. She said that she did not think a playground would be necessary.
Resident Michael Minllin said that he would like to see lighted soccer fields in the park. He noted that his children had played under temporary lights and that they were dangerous. He would also like a snack bar and restrooms.
Resident Beau Trementier said that he had participated in the Council Rock baseball program for many years, playing at Pickering and Chandler fields. He said that Newtown's facilities cannot compare with the excellent facilities in neighboring communities. He said that lighted fields are necessary for a competitive baseball program.
Resident Michael Becker said that his children have not participated in Newtown athletics because the facilities are inadequate. His children have been forced to play in programs in neighboring communities. He would like to see tournament quality facilities with restrooms and a snack bar.
Resident John Kraft said that he would like the park to include lighted baseball and soccer fields, restrooms and snack bar, but did not think that a playground is necessary.
Resident David Falker said that he is President of Council Rock Newtown Athletic Association. He said that he has been hoping for this project since 1999, at which point it was a Township 3 to 5 year priority. He said that he would like to see a tournament quality facility. He noted that he had heard some objections in the community to hosting of tournaments, however they do not generate the traffic that many residents fear. He said that his organization would like to host a pre-season tournament and perhaps district finals. He asked that the facility include 60 foot and 90 foot baseball fields with lights. He said that if three baseball fields were provided, his organization would work with Rock Girls Softball to give up baseball field 5 at Helen Randle Park. He said that his organization currently has an enrollment of 600 children. He noted that the largest enrollment is among children 5 and 6 years old. He also noted that of the 9000 residents of Newtown between 2 and 17 years of age, 4000 participate in team sports. He said that he thought that these numbers would continue to grow as new homes are built within the Township.
Resident Vinod Tuliani said that he lives in Pheasant Point, backing onto the proposed park. He said that he has two children who will benefit by having a new park, however he is concerned about sound and lighting. He expressed concern about PA systems announcing games, and about light pollution. He asked that buffering be included in the plans. He also asked that the park be more inclusive, with provisions for walking trails, playgrounds and tennis courts.
Resident Alex Trementier said that she plays for the Rock Girls Softball travel team. She has visited many beautiful facilities in neighboring communities, and would like to see Newtown have such facilities to host travel events and tournaments. She said that Rock Softball has become very competitive and that to stay competitive better facilities are needed. She said that team sports teach children teamwork, responsibility, and friendship. Her team requires that all players maintain a B average in school. She said that she would like to see lighted softball fields with dugouts.
Resident Jeffrey Best said that he would like to see the plan include restrooms, and some landscaping to provide shade. He would also like to see the existing facilities better maintained.
Mr. Evan Stone, Landscape Architect for Pickering Corts and Sommerson, said that the plan is to be a community park, and will include landscaped areas as well as sports fields.
Mr. Sam Patel, a resident of Pheasant Point said that he is concerned about the proximity of the proposed park to his home. He said that there is currently a large buffer of trees between his home and the park, and he would like it to remain. He would also like to see a fence between the park and his development to prevent direct access to the park from his development. He asked that lighting be located closer to Durham Road and that tennis courts be included in the plan.
Resident Michael Hammer said that he is President of Upper Makefield/Newtown Soccer Association. His organization has an enrollment of 1200 children, 500 of which are Newtown residents. His organization has access to only one Newtown playing field, which is shared with Council Rock soccer. He would like to see lighted playing fields to extend the time that practice can be conducted. He would also like to see parking located such that it would alleviate some overcrowding at the elementary schools when the schools host special events.
Resident Dorothy McCrane said that she lives in St. Andrew's Briar. She said that she does not think that lighting is necessary. She said that she had not known about the park plans when she bought her home. She is concerned about noise, in particular the air horns used by some teams. She would like that no trees be removed and that buffer planting be included in the plans.
Resident Jim McCrane said that he was authorized to speak on behalf of the residents of St. Andrew's Briar. He said that he did not think that Mr. Levine would allow discussion of lights at this evening's meeting. He said that the residents of his development were in agreement that they do not want lights in the park, and that they are also concerned about noise pollution. He said that his development has 13 children under the age of 7 years, and all would benefit by having the park. The residents of his development are in support of the park, however they are very concerned about lights and noise generated by evening games and tournaments.
Resident Greg Killian said that he was speaking on behalf of the residents of Pheasant Point. He said that the residents of his development are in support of the park, and would like to see a playground and tennis courts included. They would not like the park to include lighted fields, and they are concerned about noise pollution.
Resident Seth Jackson said that he lives in Pheasant Point and he would like a barrier to prevent access to the park from his development. He would also like basketball courts included in the plan.
Resident Debbie Hennessey said that she would like a small playground, restrooms and snack bar included in the plan. She said that a playground is appreciated by parents bringing younger siblings to games. She said that she would also like parking located near each playing field.
Resident Philip Tully said that he thought that in addition to a snack bar and restrooms, the plan should include a clubhouse with a meeting room so that sports organizations could hold registrations and board meetings. He would also like batting cages included in the plan. He noted that by including batting cages, teams are able to make better use of the facilities for practices.
Resident Tom Hacker asked that a place be provided for storage of equipment, including field maintenance equipment. He also noted that he did not think that volleyball and in-line skating were still as popular as when the plan was first drawn, and he asked that basketball courts be included instead.
Resident Ed Denkin asked if there is a timeline in place for completion of this project. He said that he is the scheduler of fields for Newtown Little League. He said that in the 2004 season there were 34 teams for 12 and under. He said that the only 90 foot baseball field available is Pickering field.
Mr. Levine said that the Park and Recreation Board will hold a third community meeting on September 29, then devote its October 6 meeting to preparing recommendations for Pickering Corts and Sommerson, which will then be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission. He said that the Board hopes to have money budgeted in 2005 to begin the project and phase in fields over the next few years. In response to a question from Mr. Felker he said that in addition to Township money, grants would be sought for funding of the playing fields.
Resident Bill Reading said that he would like to see practice fields, batting cages and lights, all which would help with scheduling and make better use of the fields.
Resident Joseph Garvey, Vice President of Rock Girls Softball said that the Rock Travel Softball program has become increasingly competitive, and because of the lack of adequate facilities they lose Newtown players to neighboring communities each year. He said that upgraded facilities are essential to provide a competitive program for older girls. He also noted that because of lack of field space the T ball program for little girls had to be turned into a clinic. He said that the girls would also need lights for their fields, whether those fields are at Helen Randle Park or at the Woll Tract. He said that ideally a softball facility would be located all in one park, with lighted fields. He said that his organization has recently hosted a clinic attended by Olympic coaches. For such events to continue facilities must be improved. He said that at Helen Randle Park the girls cannot safely be taught to slide because of the rocky soil. Mr. Garvey said that he also supported the idea of a clubhouse and basketball courts.
Mr. McCrane said that he has noted that the soil on the Woll tract is also very rocky and might be a serious safety issue.
Resident Eric Bend said that as a parent volunteer he strongly supports the request for lighted soccer fields. He said that Center Park in Doylestown should serve as a model for Newtown's plans. He also suggested that to help control trash management, a shaded picnic area be included.
Resident Keith Terry said that as a parent volunteer with CR Newtown Athletic Association he supports the request for lighted baseball fields. He would also like buffering provided for the neighboring residents.
Resident Sergei Karpovich said that he is a resident of Pheasant Point. He said that he thought that it would be impossible to provide a sports park with all that had been requested and to appease the neighboring residents' concerns. He suggested that perhaps a different parcel be chosen as the site for the park. He said that he was concerned that properties surrounding the park would decrease in value because of the lights and the noise. He said that if the park is built, he would not want lights, especially after 9:00PM.
Resident John Reiss said that he is a volunteer with CR Newtown Athletic Association. He said that he would like to see the park developed as a sports complex with lighted fields, restrooms, snack bar and clubhouse. He also said that he would like safety concerns addressed by fencing around fields to protect spectators. He also asked that fields be planned with proper drainage so that they can be used quickly after a rain.
Resident Howard Lemonick said that he is Vice President of CR Newtown Athletic Association. He complemented the Board on the improved conditions at Chandler fields. He said that he would like to see the fields placed as far from the residential properties as possible and basketball courts included in the plan.
Resident Stephanie Lochenko said that she is a member of Mid Atlantic Premier Showcase Soccer (MAPSS) She said that MAPPS sponsors showcases for competitive soccer players for college coaches. He has successfully provided showcases for Yardley Makefield, however Upper Makefield and Newtown are not competitive in soccer because they do not have the facilities.
Resident John D'Aprile said that he is concerned about the budget to pay for such a facility. He does not want lights or a PA System. He is concerned that providing such a park will cause a tax increase.
Resident Pat Cawley said that he is President of Rock Girls Softball. He said that his organization would work with the boy's baseball organization to equitably share facilities.
Resident John Duggan said that our community sports organizations are losing players to Northampton and Tri-Township because of our field shortage.
Mr. Garvey asked if the Board had evaluated the existing space in the parks. He suggested that there might be space at Helen Randle Park for basketball. He also suggested that issues at Helen Randle Park should be resolved before beginning to build another park.
Mr. Levine agreed with Mr. Garvey that girls and boys sports must be treated equally. He also said that the Board is concerned about the maintenance of the existing fields and will continue to work to improve them. He said that Ann Toole has been evaluating the field needs for the various sports and age groups. He said that her findings are in keeping with the opinions expressed by the public this evening. He said that after the October 6th regular Park and Recreation Board meeting, he expected to give Mr. Stone information on what should be included in the Master Plan. Mr. Stone has expressed to him a turn-around time of 60 days. He said that plans would then be submitted to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. He said that he hoped to have the plans available on the Web site. Although the four access concept plans had been shown to the Planning Commission, there was not a consensus recommendation.
Mr. Stone repeated that the Master Plan calls for a community park, not a sports complex.
In addition to public comment, written comments were submitted by residents Chip Meara, requesting lighted soccer, baseball and softball fields and a walking trail and John Cannon, requesting lighted soccer fields. Mr. Meara suggested a curfew for the lighted fields.
Liaison Reports
Board of Supervisors
Mr. Harp Reported that he had been in touch with Judge Durkin of Pottstown about the formation of a PAL sponsored Pop Warner football team. Judge Durkin had indicated to Mr. Harp that he would be willing to meet with an interested sub-committee and share the Pottstown By-Laws. Mr. Harp said that the by-laws used in Pottstown are very simple and do not have as many restrictions as the PAL By-laws in place in Philadelphia. Mr. Harp said that he hopes to form a sub-committee to meet with Judge Durkin and some of the interested parents in the community in the autumn, with a goal of beginning a football team in fall of 2005. He said that he has also been in conversation with the athletic directors at Council Rock North and Newtown Middle School, who are eager to work with him on possible field sharing in exchange for Mr. Harp's help in fundraising for a new scoreboard for the football field.
Capital Planning
Mr. Fidler reported that the Capital Planning Committee had heard a presentation by Delta Development Group about the loss of Earned Income Tax revenue as other municipalities enact their own EIT.
Planning Commission
Mr. Fidler reported that the Planning Commission had heard Mr. Levine's presentation on access to the Woll Tract. He noted that some of the members recall an agreement to allow an easement between Newtown Elementary School and St. Andrew's Elementary School. He said that although there were a number of different preferences among the commission members, the majority did prefer a Wrights Road access, although some would have liked access through 413 also.
In addition, the Planning Commission reviewed applications to the Zoning Hearing Board, and land development by Hovnanian for age restricted housing at the By-Pass and Buck Road, and conditional use for a tearoom in the Sparkles building.
Member Comments
Mr. Davis reported that he had seen an article in the paper stating that the County would be reducing its funding to senior centers. The Board discussed speaking to the Township program coordinators about senior participation in recreation programs, and in Township residents' participation in the Council Rock Senior Center.
Mr. Clancy moved to adjourn at 10:00PM. Mrs. Kelly seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted
Mary Donaldson, Recording Secretary

Low-income women need a stronger voice in shaping housing policy
by Patty Pitts
Although 16 per cent of Victoria's women live in poverty, they have virtually no voice in developing the policies and designing the housing they need, according to a report by Status of Women Canada.
The report studied the housing concerns of women living on low incomes in Victoria, Regina and Saint John. While it found low

Housing Policy Options for Women Living in Urban Poverty: An Action Research Project in Three Canadian Cities draws from previously unpublished 1996 census data relating to women, poverty and housing in the three cities. In Greater Victoria, researchers also conducted a community-based assessment of housing needs in 1998 and 1999, and analysed municipal and regional housing policies.

The report concludes that over two-thirds of women living in low-income households spent 30 per cent or more of their gross income on shelter expenses. This applies to over 21,000 households in Victoria, over 11,000 households in Regina and nearly 9,000 households in Saint John.

LAKE CHARLES, La. — The Port of Lake Charles board has approved an operating agreement with Lake Charles Clean Energy for the handling and storage of methanol — a major step in bringing the $2.6-billion project forward.
Port officials said Monday the new submission will allow the product to be exported — about one million tons per year. The port already received a 25-year operating contract with Lake Charles Clean Energy, a subsidiary of Leucadia.
Port Director Bill Rase told the American Press (http://bit.ly/cseYHv ) recently this is the largest project in the works at the Port and will help create long-term sustainability for years to come.
The company has spent more than $50 million in site preparation — mainly for drainage and electricity.

I'm curious how many pro gun people actually believe there will be a state uprising and all those firearms you have stockpiled is going to save you and your family one day? I wonder how many gun control advocates believe that they will ever actually get some significant control of guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Men's belts are such simple accessories; you wouldn't think choosing them would require much thought. It doesn't have to, but since the little details have a lot to do with the impact of your overall look, going beyond the basics can help you distinguish yourself stylewise and avoid common mistakes that dull otherwise good looks. The following ideas will help you pick the best belt for any occasion.
For summer, light-colored suits or a combination of blazer and pants, one dark and one light, works well. Try a sand-colored suit with brown belt and shoes. (Just as your socks should always match your pants, your belt should always match your shoes.) For a more pulled-together look, go with black pants, a colorful striped shirt, light gray blazer, and black belt and shoes. Dressier belts are pretty much always brown or black, ranging from smooth to braided, woven, or embossed. A bit of texture can complement an outfit without much pattern. When wearing busier shirts, though, choose a belt with little to no texture. A brown/black reversible belt is a cost-effective and perfectly acceptable choice for your wardrobe. A belt of high quality should last you a lifetime.
For dressy occasions, black belt and shoes are the way to go. To increase panache, focus color and attention-drawing details in the tie, handkerchief, or jewelry. You want to keep a more formal look crisp and modern, so be sure to reflect this with your choice of belt. In general, avoid textured or decorated belts for formal occasions.
With casual clothing, belts are optional, though they always imply slightly more effort put into your look. White jeans are very hot right now, and a great way to wear them is with a brown belt and brown leather sandals. This look is free, beachy, and stylish. You can get a little more experimental with weekend wear; try more eye-catching detailing, such as heavy braiding, weaving, or punch-outs in the leather. Light-colored or blue pants can be offset nicely with one of summer's colorful striped belts. From sporty to nautical to just plain loud, this season's casual belts are fun and splashy. To accomplish a harder-edged look, try belts with grommets or metal detailing. These go well with dark jeans.
Whatever the occasion, the right belt pulls an outfit together and supports the look you're going for.
Since belts are one of those items that can be bought online without fear of choosing the wrong size, it would be wise to purchase them online past the troubles of traditional shopping.

Gulliver's Travels
by Jonathan Swift
Gulliver's Travels Gender Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Thus the young ladies are as much ashamed of being cowards and fools as the men, and despise all personal ornaments, beyond decency and cleanliness: neither did I perceive any difference in their education made by their difference of sex, only that the exercises of the females were not altogether so robust; and that some rules were given them relating to domestic life, and a smaller compass of learning was enjoined them: for their maxim is, that among peoples of quality, a wife should be always a reasonable and agreeable companion, because she cannot always be young. (1.6.15)
We have to admit, we were kind of surprised to read about this fairly equitable system of education in Lilliput, of all places – Lilliput, where in all other ways, the education kind of sucks, because it focuses on control rather than on real learning. And this isn't just an object of satire, because the Houyhnhnms also do their best to educate their boys and girls equally.
Quote #2
The nurse, to quiet her babe, made use of a rattle which was a kind of hollow vessel filled with great stones, and fastened by a cable to the child's waist: but all in vain; so that she was forced to apply the last remedy by giving it suck. I must confess no object ever disgusted me so much as the sight of her monstrous breast, which I cannot tell what to compare with, so as to give the curious reader an idea of its bulk, shape, and colour. It stood prominent six feet, and could not be less than sixteen in circumference. The nipple was about half the bigness of my head, and the hue both of that and the dug, so varied with spots, pimples, and freckles, that nothing could appear more nauseous. (2.1.11)
In Brobdingnag, Gulliver sees a sight that he imagines might be kind of exciting: a giant breast. But in reality, it horrifies him with its size, shape, and spottiness. Seeing things too close = bad. But we do find it interesting that Gulliver's first confrontation with the horrors of the human flesh should be with a woman's body. After all, Gulliver strongly associates flesh and sex with a woman's nature – check out our "Character Analysis" the Laputians for more on this point.
Quote #3
That which gave me most uneasiness among these maids of honour (when my nurse carried me to visit then) was, to see them use me without any manner of ceremony, like a creature who had no sort of consequence: for they would strip themselves to the skin, and put on their smocks in my presence, while I was placed on their toilet, directly before their naked bodies, which I am sure to me was very far from being a tempting sight, or from giving me any other emotions than those of horror and disgust: their skins appeared so coarse and uneven. (2.5.7)
Again, Gulliver is revolted by these giant female bodies. But he's also unnerved, because the Queen's servants don't regard him as a man. They undress and even pee in front of him as though he's a pet and not a person. We can compare Gulliver's anxiety about being a man in the Brobdingnag chapter with his joke about his penis size in Lilliput (about which, see our detailed summary of Part 1, Chapter 3) – when he's hugely, hugely manly relative to tiny residents of the island.

While the Climate Action Certification program is completely stand alone, recognition and credit is given for criteria that may be addressed in existing environmental certification programs such as ECO Certification, Green Globe and Greenhouse Challenge Plus.
The 3 levels of Climate Action Certification
Climate Action Business
Businesses have undertaken a set of adaption and emissions reduction actions but are not necessarily measuring their carbon footprint.
Climate Action Innovator
Businesses have undertaken a set of adaption and emissions reduction actions and are auditing and measuring their carbon footprint.
Climate Action Leader
Businesses have incorporated strategic climate change responses across all relevant levels of business planning and operations. They are measuring and auditing their carbon footprint via a credible system and have undertaken an advanced level of adaptation, emissions reduction and offsetting actions and are working towards becoming carbon neutral.
What are the benefits?
- Gain an understanding of climate change concepts and terminology.
- Increase your awareness of credible offsetting activities that can be undertaken.
- Learn clear and practical ways to reduce your carbon footprint through design, equipment selection and changes in operational practices.
- Take on best practice examples that are relevant to your business sector and operating environment.
- Climate Action Certification places significant attention on adaptation responses, which are vital to business planning, development and investment.
- Extended 3 year licencing for Commercial Tour Operators to operate in SA National Parks

A Cincinnati teacher has won the race often called "the world's toughest foot race."
Harvey Lewis, 38, completed the Badwater 135 in just under 24 hours on Tuesday morning.
Lewis finished fourth in the previous two races.
Lewis teaches economics and American government classes at the School for the Creative and Performing Arts.
About 70 to 80 runners are selected from a large field of hopefuls each year to run the race. Around a third don't finish the race.
The race runs from Badwater in Death Valley to the foot of Mount Whitney and gains about 8,000 feet in altitude over the route.

Fire Prevention Week runs through Saturday.
The Irving Fire Department is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association to launch the Prevent Kitchen Fires campaign to local residents. During the campaign, fire departments will spread the word about the danger of kitchen fires-most of which result from unattended cooking-and teach local residents how to prevent kitchen fires.
According to the latest research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen, which is more than any other place in the home. Cooking fires also are the leading cause of home fire-related injuries.
"When we're called to a fire that started in the kitchen, the residents often tell us they left for only a few minutes," Irving Assistant Fire Chief Rusty Wilson said in a news release. "Sadly, that's all it takes."
Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates emphasize are:
-Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling or boiling food. -If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. -When you are simmering, baking or roasting food, check it regularlyand use a timer to remind you. -If you have young children, use the stove's back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three away from the stove. -When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves. -Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop. -Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetop
For more information, contact the Irving Fire Department at 972-721-2653.

A common childhood viral infection is keeping Dr. James Brouillette at Ingham Community Medical Center, a partner of Ingham Regional, busy this week.
He is treating herpangina.
Symptoms are a very bad sore throat, high fever anywhere between 101 and 104 degrees, and blisters in the back of the throat.
Since it is a viral infection, you can't treat herpangina with antibiotics. There are some things you can do, however, to give your child some relief.
Make sure your child is getting plenty of fluids and taking Tylenol or Motrin for pain and fever.
You should also feed your child soft foods like Jello, which go down the throat easier.
Dr. Brouillette says you should bring your child to the doctor regardless, because herpangina and strep throat have similar symptoms, but strep can be cleared up with antibiotics.
Herpangina is most common in the summer and fall.
It lasts for about a week before it clears up.

" Das Hotel ist schäbig und müsste dringend mal renoviert werden. Die Steckdose kam direkt aus der Wand gefallen, in der sich schon diverse andere Löcher befanden. Die Rezeption hatte um 19:30 schon zu obwohl sie bis 20:00 auf haben sollte. Dadurch war niemand da als ich ankam und es wurde auch nicht Bescheid gesagt. Da die Rezeption morgens auch erst um 8:30 aufmacht war selbst das Bezahlen schwierig. Ich kann von dieser Unterkunft nur abraten. "- 匿名の

The Serbian FA has been charged with alleged racist chanting by fans, and both associations over the behaviour of players at the end of the stormy encounter which saw violent scenes after the final whistle.
UEFA said in a statement: "UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against both the Football Association of Serbia (FSS) and England's Football Association (FA) following a number of incidents during and after England's 1-0 win over Serbia in the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship play-off second leg at the Mladost stadium in Krusevac on Tuesday 16 October 2012."
It went on: "Regarding alleged racist chanting, UEFA will instigate proceedings against the FSS over the misconduct of their supporters during and at the end of the match. Proceedings will also be instigated against the FSS for the improper conduct of the Serbia players at the end of the match.
"UEFA will also commence proceedings against the FA for the improper conduct of the England players at the end of the match.
"These cases will be discussed on the occasion of the next ordinary hearing of the UEFA Control & Disciplinary Body on 22 November 2012."
Danny Rose had earlier called for Serbia to be banned after complaining of racial abuse and being hit by missiles during his side's 1-0 play-off second-leg win which saw them qualify for Euro 2013.
The England defender said he had been subjected to monkey taunts long before the violent and chaotic ending.
The Serbian FA have denied there were any racist chants before and during the match.

What are multiple myeloma symptoms and signs?
Patients with myeloma may be found asymptomatic with an unexplained increase in protein in the blood. With more advanced disease, some myeloma patients may present with weakness due to anemia caused by inadequate production of red blood cells, with bone pain due to the aforementioned bone damage, and as the abnormal M protein can accumulate in and damage the kidneys thereby resulting in a patient being found to have otherwise unexplained kidney damage and decreased kidney function.
The following is a list symptoms and signs of multiple myeloma:
- Anemia
- Bleeding
- Nerve damage
- Skin lesions
- Enlarged tongue (macroglossia)
- Bone tenderness or pain
- Weakness or tiredness
- Infections
- Pathologic bone fractures
- Back pain
- Spinal cord compression
- Kidney failure and/or damage
- Loss of appetite and weight loss
- Constipation
- Hypercalcemia
- Leg swelling
How do health-care professionals diagnose multiple myeloma?
In many patients, multiple myeloma is first suspected when a routine blood test shows an abnormal amount of protein in the bloodstream or an unusual stickiness of red blood cells causing them to stack up almost like coins in a pattern called rouleaux, an unusual formation for red blood cells. The doctor will do a history and physical exam, looking for signs and symptoms (see above) of multiple myeloma. If multiple myeloma is suspected, several studies help confirm the diagnosis. They include a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy most commonly from the large bones of the pelvis. Cells obtained from the marrow are studied by a pathologist to determine if there are abnormal types or numbers of cells. A sample of the bone marrow aspirate is also studied for more detailed characteristics such as the presence or absence of abnormal numbers or types of chromosomes by what is called cytogenetic testing. Other molecular testing may be done on the marrow sample as well. The bone marrow biopsy can assess the concentrations of cells in the marrow and the presence of abnormal invasive growth of cellular elements. Blood testing and urine testing by several methods can determine levels and types of monoclonal protein produced. The M protein may be a complete form of a type of antibody called an immunoglobulin or only a portion of the protein called a light chain. Normal antibodies consist of both heavy and light chain components. In 2011, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommended that a serum free light chain assay and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test be used to further identify multiple myeloma in patients. Most clinicians will use X-ray studies to identify skeletal lesions and MRI for spinal, paraspinal, or spinal cord lesions in multiple myeloma. In addition, several routine tests (CBC, sedimentation rate, BUN, C-reactive protein, and others) are also done.

Many who are new to gardening do not realize just how much work there really is. Aside from planning what it is you want to plant, you have to prepare your area and get things ready for growing. This is what my family and I have been doing over here at Eat & Live Green.
We want to keep our Square Foot Gardens as organic as possible. To do this, we'll be composting yard and kitchen waste, planting plants specifically for enriching our compost, and companion planting.
We want to ensure that we naturally protect and benefit our garden in every organic way possible. Companion planting is just that! By planting certain plants in close proximity to others, certain insects can be either deterred or attracted to your garden. Certain plants are also beneficial when grown to enhance your soil. Golden Harvest Organics.com has the most comprehensive list of companion plants that I have been able to find on the internet so far. I was able to find herbs, fruits, vegetables, and flowers as companions to plants that I never thought about growing before.
Examples of Companion Plants
Tomatoes: basil, beans, carrots, celery, chives, cucumber, garlic, head lettuce, marigold, mint, nasturtium, onion, parsley, peas, peppers (hot/sweet), thistle, borage
Lettuce: beets, broccoli, carrots, cucumbers, dill, pole beans, onion, radish, strawberries, sunflowers
Corn: beans, cucumber, melons, peanuts, pumpkin, squash, sunflowers
The reasons for companion planting are very simple: to keep the bad bugs out, bring the good bugs in, and enhance the flavor and smell of what you're planting. It really is possible to grow a garden without having to use pesticides, fungicides, or chemical plant fertilizers or stimulants. Certain plants, such as comfrey, are beneficial to the soil, as it is nutrient-rich and perfect for composting. Knowing what plants to plant together, which plants to keep apart, and which ones are good for the soil, means a bountiful, flavorful harvest.
Eat & Live Green has just finished laying out the plans for its first Square Foot Garden. We took companion planting into full consideration when choosing what to buy. Filled with herbs & vegetables we cook with the most, our first SFG will consist of: basil, pole beans, summer cabbage, carrots, cilantro, garlic, head lettuce, leaf lettuce, onion, green onions, hot peppers, spinach, and tomatoes. As you can see, we've made sure to place the plants in our plan according to companion planting. When you're ready to plant, make sure you take your time to plan your planting wisely.

Complex TV caught up with street artist Niels "Shoe" Meulman down in Wynwood during Art Basel Miami Beach 2013 and spoke with him a little about his craft and what brought him back to Miami for the third time. Shoe shared a little background on himself and the "calligraffiti" that he has been painting since the 1980's in Amsterdam and told us a little bit about the Dutch Pavilion project that he and other world renowned artists were invited to be a part of.

To prevent our systems from spam, please complete the following prior to submitting your comment. Please select the black square: How is spina bifida treated? There is no cure for spina bifida. The nerve tissue that is damaged or lost cannot be repaired or replaced, nor can function be restored to the damaged nerves. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the disorder. Generally, children with the mild form need no treatment, although some may require surgery as they grow. The key early priorities for treating myelomeningocele are to prevent infection from developing through the exposed nerves and tissue through the spine defect, and to protect the exposed nerves and structures from additional trauma. Typically, a child born with spina bifida will have surgery to close the defect and minimize the risk of infection or further trauma within the first few days of life. Selected medical centers continue to perform fetal surgery for treatment of myelomeningocele through a National Institutes of Health protocol (Management of Myelomeningocele Study, or MOMS). Fetal surgery is performed in utero (within the uterus) and involves opening the mother's abdomen and uterus and sewing shut the abnormal opening over the developing baby's spinal cord. Some doctors believe the earlier the defect is corrected, the better the baby's outcome. Although the procedure cannot restore lost neurological function, it may prevent additional losses from occurring. Originally planned to enroll 200 expectant mothers carrying a child with myelomeningocle, the Management of Myelomeningocele Study was stopped after the enrollment of 183 women, because of the benefits demonstrated in the children who underwent prenatal surgery. There are risks to the fetus as well as to the mother. The major risks to the fetus are those that might occur if the surgery stimulates premature delivery, such as organ immaturity, brain hemorrhage, and death. Risks to the mother include infection, blood loss leading to the need for transfusion, gestational diabetes, and weight gain due to bed rest. Still, the benefits of fetal surgery are promising -- including less exposure of the vulnerable spinal nerve tissue and bones to the intrauterine environment, in particular the amniotic fluid, which is considered toxic. As an added benefit, doctors have discovered that the procedure affects the way the fetal hindbrain develops in the uterus, allowing certain complications -- such as Chiari II and hydrocephalus -- to correct themselves, thus, reducing or, in some cases, eliminating the need for surgery to implant a shunt. Twenty to 50 percent of children with myelomeningocele develop a condition called progressive tethering, or tethered cord syndrome. A part of the spinal cord becomes fastened to an immovable structure (such as overlying membranes and vertebrae). This causes the spinal cord to become abnormally stretched and the vertebrae elongated with growth and movement. This condition can cause change in the muscle function of the legs, as well as changes in bowel and bladder function. Early surgery on the spinal cord may allow the child to regain a normal level of functioning and prevent further neurological deterioration. Some children will need subsequent surgeries to manage problems with the feet, hips, or spine. Individuals with hydrocephalus generally will require additional surgeries to replace the shunt, which can be outgrown or become clogged. Some individuals with spina bifida require assistive mobility devices such as braces, crutches, or wheelchairs. The location of the malformation on the spine often indicates the type of assistive devices needed. Children with a defect high on the spine and more extensive paralysis will often require a wheelchair, while those with a defect lower on the spine may be able to use crutches, bladder catherizations, leg braces, or walkers. Beginning special exercises for the legs and feet at an early age may help prepare the child for walking with braces or crutches when he or she is older. Treatment of bladder and bowel problems typically begins soon after birth, and may include bladder catheterizations and bowel management regimens.

Browsing through the April issue of Local Government News, as all the cool kids do these days, I noticed an even being held in 'Leeds', at least according to the headline. As its pretty local I read on to see what it was about.
The event is the third annual Base Cities event and you can imagine my surprise when I saw that the event would take place in that well known Leeds landmark, Bradford University.
Now in fairness it quickly became obvious that the actual event was concerning the Leeds City Region and that the headline had compressed that to the singular, Leeds, but it is frustrating nonetheless. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason the event is being held in Bradford is exactly to counter the impression that Leeds City Region is made up solely of Leeds and other, less important places.
So it's annoying that Local Government News didn't think to add 'region' to their headline to clarify the issue, but then it wouldn't really make sense as it would essentially be saying an event for Leeds City Region was being held in Leeds City Region.
The correct headline should have stated it was being held in Bradford and while it's really a minor issue given what is going on elsewhere you can't really imagine the reverse happening and an event in Leeds being mistakenly labelled as taking place in Bradford.
In that respect, while this is a small issue about a poorly defined headline it is sadly indicative of the wider problem Bradford is having in carving out its own identity and staking its own place as a major city in the 'Leeds City' region.
Perhaps one way such errors could be avoided would be to consider renaming the 'Leeds City Region' to something more agreeable to the other towns and cities in the area who consider themselves to be a bit more than just a satellite to Leeds (as much as I like the place).

AN MP has defended a £105,000 NHS pay packet for just four months' work for an interim chief executive.
Conservative Sir Tony Baldry said the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG) payment was "appropriate".
Yesterday we reported how Mr Wilson was paid £105,000 to £110,000 – it would not reveal the exact amount – for December 10 to March 31.
He was brought in to turn around the troubled organisation, launched on April 1 as part of a national shake-up aimed at involving GPs more.
It decides where most NHS cash is spent and avoided a £6.9m deficit at the end of 2013/14 after hospital bosses agreed to write off some bills.
Sir Tony said: "Before Ian Wilson arrived, OCCG was heading for a significant deficit which would have been of no benefit to anyone locally.
"During the time he has been in post, he has managed to turn the OCCG around to end the year in a surplus and he has been paid appropriately for that task."
Oxford East Labour Andrew Smith yesterday said the salary – equivalent to at least £1,363 a day – was to get OCCG out of the "financial mess" from a "wholly unnecessary reorganisation".
Full-time chief executive David Smith will start on Monday on a pay scale of £120,000 to £150,000.
County Conservative MPs David Cameron, Ed Vaizey, Nicola Blackwood had yet to comment.
The OCCG yesterday said interim pay can be "significantly higher due to the difficult nature of the work".

Jeremy Warner on the drive for Britain to separate from the EU:
…Yet getting out entirely doesn't strike me as either a wise or necessary approach to the developing standoff in relations…..Jacques Delors, who whatever you might think of him remains one of the few leaders of any authority and vision to have emerged from the European quagmire, has suggested a possible way out for Britain – a sort of amicable divorce, but with extensive child visiting rights. He's called it "privileged partnership", with apparent access to the single market and some say in its operation. For some eurosceptics, this will not be sufficient, for it would require agreement to the four freedoms: free movement of goods, services, labour and capital…..Yet from a purely economic perspective, this looks like a good and workable solution. For the rest of Europe, the single currency is driving a process of integration which must ultimately require some form of fiscal and political union. It's still a long way off, but it is coming, and inevitably, it places Britain in a completely different, non participant role…..

I have a minor annoyance that I am trying to resolve. I have a network
(home) that consists of a firewall, 3 *nix boxes and a XP box. Iuse one
*nix box for Apache/perl development, the other as a media server and the
3rd is my main development box. The XP is the wife's puter.
What I want to be able to do is check the load avg (xload) on the
computers from any given *nix desktop. If there was a way I could monitor
the XP box as well, that would be great!
Back in my undergrad days, I could do this, but sadly, over the course of
time (and subsequent moves), I lost my reference materials on how to set
this up. I have googled and looked at a number of different reference
articles but nothing has completely answered what I am trying to do.
Yes, I have set xhost+ on all computers.
Thanks in advance,

Peel off the crisp papery husk and find inside a bright green and firm tomatillo. A cousin to the tomato, tomatillos have a tart citrus flavor that is deepened by cooking. Try this Grill-Roasted Tomatillo Salsa recipe and wow your friends and family with a fresh and flavorful salsa verde. This recipe is excerpted from Chapter 2, "Appetizers," of The Gardener & the Grill (Running Press, 2012), the ultimate all-year-round grilling guide.
If you can grow tomatoes, you can grow their smaller, green cousins, tomatillos. Sharp and citrus-tasting, tomatillos are most often used to make a fresh salsa usually served with chips or chicken, pork, and fish. Tomatillos have papery husks that enclose the small fruits; remove the husks before using.
Makes about 2 cups
• Vegetable oil, as needed• 1 1/2 pounds fresh tomatillos• 1/2 cup freshly chopped cilantro• 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed and seeded• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice• Kosher or sea salt to taste
1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill. Oil a perforated grill rack and place on the grill grates.
2. Remove the husks from the tomatillos and discard. Arrange the tomatillos on the perforated grill rack in a single layer. Cover and grill-roast, turning once until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
3. In a blender or food processor, place the cooled tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Process until somewhat smooth. Add salt to taste. Grill-Roasted Tomatillo Salsa will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
