Horton-in-Ribblesdale Parish Council has decided not to increase its annual precept for the fourth successive year.
The council says it is because of strong financial management and the active pursuit of grant funding, which has also enabled it to carry out significant improvements to the village.
There are still plans to improve footway lighting.

'Two And A Half Men' Star Angus T. Jones Tells Fans His Show is 'Filth' and It Contradicts His Christian Values
By Lauren Thompson | November 26, 2012 2:56 PM EST
Angus T. Jones who plays the character Jake on "Two and a Half Men" said you "cannot be a true God-fearing person" and act on a show like "Two and a Half Men."
"I'm on 'Two and a Half Men' and I don't want to be on it," Jones said in a video testimony for a religious website.
Jones asked fans to stop watching the show. "If you watch [the show] than please stop watching [it]," he pleaded. "You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't."

On my subway ride to work this morning, I watched in awe as the woman across from me expertly applied liquid eye liner without so much as a smudge—even as our car jerked its way into the station. (My coworker Ally has witnessed similar feats of makeup application in transit.) Though totally wowed by her skills, I was even more impressed with her bravery. I recoiled at the thought of poking myself in the eye or making the smudge of the century because of an ill-timed short stop. It also made me recall my elementary school carpools, when my mom would quickly flip down the drivers seat mirror to touch up her lipstick at a stop light—or when I would apply glitter to my cheeks in the sideview mirror of my high school BFF's beat up car on the way to a party. There's something intensely private about applying your makeup, even when it's in front of a crowd of grumpy commuters.
What's your take? Tell us in the comments below whether you apply your makeup in the car, on the bus, train, or the crowded subway.

Fire department files suit against Plum councilman Nowalk
A Plum councilman is accused in court of not paying rent to a borough fire department, a portion of which was money the department says it spent on renovations to the space. The Holiday Park Volunteer Fire Department has sued Councilman Keith Nowalk seeking $196,536 for what it contends is his failure to pay rent on a building owned by and next door to the fire department on Route 286 in Plum.
Nowalk's business was a coffee house and pizzeria.
Nowalk, 49, a borough councilman who this November is seeking re-election to a four-year term, at the end of April closed the Plum Daily Grind after he said he wasn't able to pay the rent — about $2,800 a month — for the first four months of the year.
Nowalk said he plans to answer the complaint.
He and his lawyer, James Nowalk, declined further comment.
The fire department sent Nowalk, a member of council's finance committee, a lease termination letter dated April 16, fire department President Robin Schuster has said.
The Penn Hills Daily Grind on Saltsburg Road, a satellite location, also closed. Nowalk had signed a 10-year lease with the fire company that expired in December 2019.
The building, described in the complaint as 2,350-square feet, is next door to the fire department on Route 286. The Plum Daily Grind had been a tenant for about three years. The space previously had been home to an Amish furniture store.
Hilary Taylor, attorney for the fire department, wrote in the complaint dated May 22 in the civil division of Allegheny County Common Pleas Court that the amount sought represents unpaid rent of $10,540 through April 30, accelerated rent of $179,180 from May 1 through Dec. 22, 2019 — the end of the 10-year lease, $7,500 in attorney fees and $316.20 in late fees.
Taylor said the lease provides for the fire department to seek the rent for the balance of the term of the lease if Nowalk defaulted on the rent.
She also said the monthly rent included money the fire department spent on renovations for the building prior to Nowalk opening the business in 2010.
"This lease was structured to lend Mr. Nowalk some money for renovations on the building to equip the business," Taylor said. "The rent included repayment for funds provided by the fire department."
Taylor said the amount of money the fire department spent on the renovations was "significant."
Taylor said she didn't know the exact amount of money spent on the renovations.
Schuster could not be reached for comment.
The fire department is funded by borough and state money, solicitations and fundraisers.
Plum Manager Michael Thomas said the borough this year gave each of the four fire departments a stipend of $37,852, according to its contract with the Plum Fire Chiefs Association.
According to the complaint, the fire department performed the following improvements to the building that Nowalk's business occupied: ceiling and flooring renovations; electrical work; heating and air conditioning units, plumbing and bathrooms; exhaust system and exterior work.
Nowalk previously said he spent about $250,000 on renovations to the building.
The complaint also alleges that Nowalk in the course of moving his business out of the space "removed or caused to be removed interior decorations, improvements, equipment and fixtures, and caused significant damage to the premises."
Taylor said the fire department contends Nowalk auctioned items from the Plum Daily Grind that were "fixtures" and under state law were to "remain on the property."
Taylor said Nowalk removed items including an exhaust fan that was attached to the building, "causing large holes on the side of the building."
The attorney said the fire department has secured the building, boarded up the holes and plans to get an estimate for the damages to the building. Taylor said the department might file a separate action against Nowalk for the damages.
Taylor said the fire department is "evaluating its options" with respect to trying to collect the $196,536 from Nowalk.
The fire department, one of four in Plum, has about 40 active volunteers and answered 838 calls in 2012, an increase from 696 in 2011, according to the website.
The department reported net assets of $2.3 million, according to its 990 tax forms filed with the federal government each in 2010 and 2011.
The department also in 2011 reported $43,732 in gross income from interest, dividends, payments received on securities, loans, rents, royalties and income from similar sources.
The fire department reported $32,690 in the category in 2010.

RESIDENTS in York have been urged to help City of York Council redesign its website.
The council said feedback from customers showed improvements needed to be made, so the authority has launched its Rewiring Public Services scheme, to make more of its services available online, and improve the website.
As part of the project, it plans to introduce a 'my account' feature which will allow people to view all their contact history with the council when they log in to the site as well as apply, book report and pay for more council services online.
Councillor Dafydd Williams, with responsibility for corporate services, said: "Increasingly people in York are wanting to do their business online, with the majority of the city's residents already choosing to use online banking. The council wants to deliver a website that meets the needs of the people of York so who better to help us design it than our residents."
Anyone wishing to help will be asked to attend a couple of face to face sessions with the web team (travel expenses paid) to give their views. They'll then get regular progress updates and give their feedback. Interested people should email email@example.com or phone 01904 553564 by the end of Friday 11 July with their contact details, age, how familiar they are with the internet, and any disability or condition that affects their use of digital technology.

As a nation of animal lovers and shoppers us Brits love to take our four legged friends shopping with us and here at Freeport Fleetwood we want to make that as easy for you as possible.
This is Scamp (above), he likes to go out shopping with his mum so they contacted Freeport to ask which shops they would be welcome in on site.
Dogs are welcome anywhere in the public areas around the centre and many stores welcome well behaved four legged visitors.
The trail is made up of a series of artworks created by schools, organisations and groups from the area illustrating the history of the Fylde Coast. You can walk along the the trail and explore the 22 boards to discover more about the the area's attractions and learn all about Fleetwood's fascinating heritage.
Enjoy the fresh sea air as you explore the trail whilst admiring the boats in the marina. The artwork is a permanent fixture and is accessible, free of charge, during the centre's opening hours.
Subjects covered by the Fleetwood Heritage Trail include the history of the town, the birth of the fishing industry, birds that can be seen in the area, shipwrecks and famous people from Fleetwood.
The boards were created by Cardinal Allen High School, Fleetwood Market, The Fleetwood Weekly News, Fisherman's Friend, Rossall Primary School, The RNLI and The RSPB. Fleetwood Museum also advised the Freeport Fleetwood team where to find historical information for the boards.
John Magee, Centre Manager at Freeport Fleetwood, said: "The area around Freeport Fleetwood has such a rich and interesting history; we wanted to invest in this art project to celebrate our heritage with the local community.
"We want to say a big thank you to the schools and organisations for giving up their free time and taking part. The May half term is the perfect opportunity for the public to come for a stroll along the marina and take some time to appreciate what makes Fleetwood great and hopefully learn a thing or two at the same time."
Members of the Fleetwood Detachment Army Cadets and the Fleetwood Sea Cadets braved some wet weather to help paint the marina fence at Freeport Fleetwood earlier in the year, as part of the shopping centre's Fleetwood Heritage Trail community outreach project.
In 2015 Freeport Fleetwood, the towns Centre, marked twenty years of business iand it was certainly one to celebrate thanks to record sales and footfall.
Sales were 5% ahead of 2014, and total turnover was the highest it's been for the last 10 years, plus footfall reached almost 1.3m, which was ahead of the previous year for the second year running.
The centre also welcomed three successful new stores Beauty Outlet, Christy and Subway, continuing work started in 2014 to bring new, younger audiences in, as well as continuing to attract existing loyal customers. The three new stores were instant successes and are trading well ahead of expectations.
Three stores were also refurbished; the Rectella store which has been a favourite at the centre for almost 8 years was rebranded as Julian Charles, plus The Works and the London Leathers store which will complete its work later this month. The Works store beat more than 300 other UK branches in the company's annual store standards competition after being judged on a variety of aspects including sales figures and the atmosphere in the shop.
September saw the return of Best of British, and the focal point for the year's birthday celebrations. Despite some characteristically bad weather, people flocked to enjoy entertainment including The X Factor's Carolynne Poole and JonJo Kerr plus giant seagulls, strawberries and cream and massive offers across the centre.
2015 was also a year for accolades for the centre, the team were crowned Retail Business of the Year in the Red Rose Awards and won the Large Retailer award at the Radio Wave Lifestyle and Culture awards. Plus the centre was nominated for the Retail Experience Award in the Lancashire Tourism awards.
John Magee, Centre Manager for Freeport Fleetwood, said; "2015 has been a fantastic year for us at Freeport Fleetwood. I am delighted that we have continued to grow in all areas of the business, building on the success of 2014 to generate our highest turnover for the last ten years. The new store openings have allowed the centre a new dimension and in particular Beauty Outlet and Subway are further reason for the younger shoppers of the Fylde Coast to visit the centre."
Plans for 2016 are already underway and the centre is looking forward to a partnership with local charity Trinity Hospice, some more big store launches and the introduction of a second entrance which will coincide with the opening of a pedestrian footbridge to connect the new homes at Harbour Village to Anchorage Road.
John continues; "2016 will be the year of the customer and community for us. We have spent the last two years getting to know our fellow businesses, community members and shoppers again and now we would like to give something back to say thank you for their loyalty in helping us thrive. I know the great work of the Trinity Hospice is invaluable to our community so we have decided to support them as our charity in 2016. Look out for our first fundraising activity soon."

Bon Marche, The Body Shop Outlet and Sports Direct all opened at the end of November 2016.
Sports Direct has the big unit at the far end of the outlet - the building that used to house the shoe shop and the cafe before both closed earlier this year. If you've been shopping at Freeport in recent weeks you'd have seen the building being improved and scaffolding surrounding the ground floor while the shop fitting was taking place. Here it is completed and open.
The Body Shop have opened in the original Costa Coffee shop, now that Costa have moved into the bigger premises of what was the former Nevis Sport store - which you can see to the right of the photo below.
Meanwhile, Bon Marche can be found in what was the Urban store, on the right hand side as you approach M&S.
There are various positions available throughout the year with the many different retailers at Freeport Fleetwood.
Different roles are available in different shops - so if you are looking for a role in retail there's sure to be one that you'd like to apply for.
With over 45 famous named stores on site, keep an eye out for retail vacancies at Freeport Fleetwood.
Retailers with current vacancies include:

Shoppers at Freeport Fleetwood can give their cars a makeover as well as their wardrobe, at the ProWash Car Valeting Centre, now open at the Outlet Centre.
The ProWash Car Valeting business was set up just under two years ago by Fleetwood High School friends Ben Pitches and James Eccleshare and was built entirely from scratch, with the pair not paying themselves a wage over the past 18 months. The original site, based in Thornton, fell victim to an arson attack back in April and was damaged in the blaze. It is now back up and running, but this new site opening means a fresh new start for the pair.
The new centre at Freeport Fleetwood offers a range of services from buffing, polishing and waxing to carpet upholstery and body restoration. A team of four (including Ben and James) are working at the new site offering the highest quality of service to Freeport's shoppers.
Local children in Fleetwood have raised a total of £437.39 for the Brian House Children's Hospice by taking part in a fundraising car painting project at Freeport Fleetwood Shopping Centre.
The unused car was set up in the middle of the shopping centre on Saturday 16th April and shoppers were invited to let their children's imaginations run wild by having a go at painting the vehicle.
Young shoppers were also invited to get their hands dirty by making foam clay bisque pots, patchwork wall hangings and square tiles. All the activities were free, but customers were asked to make a £1 donation to Freeport Fleetwood's charity partner Brian House Children's Hospice in order for their baby Banksys to have a go at painting the car.
The car painting project was set up by Freeport Fleetwood as part of the Centre's exciting programme of Easter Holiday craft activities, organised in partnership with Glazey Days, a Fleetwood-based pottery and painting studio. The car itself was kindly donated by the local Fleetwood scrapyard, Foulds Metals Ltd.
Centre Manager, John Magee said: "We'd like to thank everyone who got involved in the car painting project over the Easter holidays. The little ones who took part have helped to raise an amazing amount of money for the Trinity Hospice and the children's hospice Brian House and it was fantastic to see them having so much fun."
All donations made from Freeport Fleetwood's Easter Holiday activities will go to the centre's 2016 charity partner, Trinity Hospice. The shopping centre is also currently selling a range of limited edition #CareForLife shopping bags designed by students from Flakefleet Primary School. The bags cost £2 and all funds will be donated to the charity.
With the help of generous shoppers, Freeport Fleetwood raised £3151 just over two days on 30th and 31st January, thanks to their Trinity Hospice pop up shop.
The event marked the first of many planned for 2016 to showcase Trinity Hospice and all the services which the charity offers to patients and families. Across the weekend shoppers were welcomed with an extravagant balloon arch, stilt walkers and BBC Radio Lancashire broadcasting its daily breakfast show live from the centre.
The shop sold products from the charity's 15 shops across the region and welcomed 60 donation bags from shoppers and employees, including unwanted clothes and Christmas gifts.
The shop raised over £1532 in retail sales for Trinity Hospice and Brian House Children's Hospice. Not only was stock flying out the door but the shop also managed to sign up 25 supporters for the charity's weekly lottery, worth £1,300 to the organisation over 12 months, and generous shoppers also gave £319 in direct financial donations.
The first 500 people to pledge their support to the Trinity 2016 fundraising events in the shop received a free re-useable canvas tote bag, which was specially designed for the partnership.
Centre Manager John Magee says: "The pop up was a great success and we're so pleased with the amount we managed to raise! It was great to see so many people visiting the centre and getting involved in supporting both ourselves and Trinity Hospice. The re-useable canvas tote bags were such a success that Hospice staff seized another opportunity to raise money and started to sell them too!"
The Outlet Centre plans to make 2016 its best yet by giving back to the community with a year-long calendar of activity to support Trinity Hospice.
Shoppers over the weekend also had the opportunity to sign up for upcoming events such as the Illumanthon, Colour Splash or the Santa Dash.
A Freeport Fleetwood Giftcard can be loaded with any amount from just £10 and they are accepted in all stores - you can buy them in the Procook shop.

I'm humble and realize the the glass is half full.
I'm grateful for friends, family, sanity, peace, and the ability to take care of others in my profession.
I am goal oriented and happy to say that I like were I am and now I'm in chill mode. I aspire to excellence in all things but I'm not perfect.
I am loving and caring but I'm not desperate.
I want to receive what I give and this is not negotiable.
I'm open minded to most things.
I'm proud of my accomplishments and the many obstacles I've overcome. I want someone to be proud of me too.
While there isn't always equality in a relationship I would like to get back some of what I give. I can't handle selfishness, neediness, and pure self absorption.
Please be emotionally mature and have a handle on the emotional baggage we all have.

June 3, 2011 10:07 pm
Every now and then, seeking to shed the melancholy and body aches that have marked my middle years, I take myself into a nice warm bath. This, combined with my status as the father of young children, means I know more about bath products, specifically toys and bubbles, than I have known at any time since I was happy and small.
I'm not above taking a bath with my boys, so long as the bubbles are lustrous enough to provide appropriate cover. And I can tell you, these days, commodities have nothing on the bubble market. The volume and variety of products available is stupendous. To give you an idea: if I were to take three baths a week, excepting school and religious holidays, there would be more than enough new, special, and otherwise tempting products to make each bubble bath a new experience for 1,000 years. There is, for example, Kiehl's Lavender Foaming Relaxing Bath, (£18); Coconut Foaming Bath by the Body Shop (£4); Gloomaway – a Joycean construction – grapefruit body wash and bubble bath (£18) by Origins; bath bubbles from the Yippee Playtime range (£3.99) by Little Me Organics; and Les Bulles d'Agathe ($20), a tube of scented soap by Maison Francis Kurkdjian that comes with an old time bubble wand, because – well, why the hell not?
Meanwhile, for those of us who remember, and wonder about, Mr Bubble, let me say this: he has apparently left the business, gone back to school, and now answers only to "Dr Bubble".
Here is my routine for a family bath: place boys in tub, turn on water, add bubble bath, turn on Jacuzzi jets, whipping bubbles into a foam, add self. This I applied, without change, to three new and varied products.
I began with Vanilla Birthday Cake, a shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath by Philosophy (£13, www.philosophy.com). It is wonderful in surface ways: it's golden and thick, and the smell will make you 10 years old, blind-folded and dizzy, looking for the donkey's behind with the needled tail in your hand. The ensuing bubbles are big and soft.
Indeed, it occurs to me there should a bubble scale, like the scale astrologists use to indicate the brightness of stars.
Affixed to the label of every tube of bubble bath, it would indicate the average size of the bubbles: soft King David-like curls or tight afro-style coils. A second measure would indicate the bubbles' lifespan: do they expand and vanish like the black holes ginned up by the Large Hadron Collider, or do they linger?
Vanilla Birthday Cake, while ranking high on coil circumference, barely registers on a duration index. The bubbles came and went like Captain Spaulding, leaving two things behind: a golden residue on the water surface and me terribly exposed. Its companion product, a chocolate cookie formula, resulted in the same anti-climax and shame.
So the next time out I decided to play it safe, going with tubes of bubble bath from Earth Friendly Kids; minty lavender or zingy citrus (£4.08 each, from selected Waitrose stores and www.healthqueststore.com). This time the effects were reversed: the bubbles, small coils, came early, appearing even before the application of the jets, and stayed for ever. I believe you can still find a few in the dark corners of my bathroom. Days later, my boys couldn't stop talking about the moment that Nate vanished beneath that tower of power that is Earth Friendly Kids bubbles. If you are looking for lots of action, this is the ideal. Add a splash, and a kid, and watch it happen.
Finally, though, I tried Crème Brûlée honey bath by Laura Mercier (£31, www.selfridges.com). If you see her, give her a hug for me, for she is the Louis Pasteur of the water closet. The product, which is stored in a honey jar and looks and smells like honey, comes in a silver box with a wooden stirrer to mix the product into the tub, resulting in a bubble as grand as the tech or housing bubbles. Unlike those, however, you can recreate this one again and again – or pop it as and when you want.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/11/2011 (2090 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Bruins 4 / Jets 2
Big picture
The 4-2 loss, empty-net goal included, doesn't seem to have dented the Jets' attitude. They're 9-10-4 through 23 games and have played an NHL-high 15 on the road so far. Nobody's crying for the new franchise's scheduling woes, which are about to turn around. Winnipeg has a golden opportunity to make a move forward in the Eastern Conference with 13 of its next 15 games in the MTS Centre through Dec. 31.
Little picture
On goals by Evander Kane and Dustin Byfuglien, the Jets skated out to a 2-0 lead against the defending Stanley Cup champs. But that melted away with a Zdeno Chara power-play goal, and two from Chris Kelly in the second period. One was short-handed, and it gave the hometown B's a clear victory in the special-teams game. "That's not an easy team to play against," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "They're strong one-on-one players and they defend well. They've won a Cup and I can't say it enough times, because that experience is invaluable."
Game changer
All over the map was how Noel described the Jets in the second period. It was a frantic game and clearly the Bruins were better at keeping control of their emotions and making the little plays that count. The Jets were rattled throughout most of the 20 minutes and by the time it was over, Kelly had done the fatal damage.

text: What to Consider When Contemplating MBA Programs Posted November 06, 2012 by in Business Degrees Tags: Business Degrees Tweet Making the decision to pursue an advanced degree is a critical choice in one's professional and personal life. Graduate degrees at the Master's and Doctoral level have been shown to improve career prospects for individuals, but they come at a cost and are not guaranteed to produce the same results for everybody. Earning a Master of Business Administration is often viewed as an investment in an individual's business career. Before enrolling in any program though, there are a number of factors that should be taken into consideration before applying. Not All Degrees Are Created Equal! While an MBA can help you for effective leadership in today's fast-paced business world, not all of the MBA degree programs out there are the same. When examining any MBA program, make sure the program is accredited by an accrediting body, such as The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). ACBSP accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes of these programs within a business school meet rigorous educational standards. ACBSP is a leading specialized accreditation association for business education supporting, celebrating, and rewarding teaching excellence. Established in 1988, ACBSP is the only business accrediting organization for all associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degree programs. A degree in an accredited MBA program can be the differentiator in today's competitive job market, so be sure to ask questions about accreditation when talking to any college or university. Do you have what Schools are looking for? Just like undergraduate institutions, business schools have a variety of admissions requirements and characteristics they are looking for when they sift through the numerous applications they receive for their MBA program. Before even sending in an application it is important to research the institutions under consideration and review their acceptance criteria. No two MBA programs will look for the same thing in applicants, but there are certain factors that most schools will be looking for. Most business schools will look at an applicant's GMAT scores, undergraduate GPA, level of campus involvement, and previous work experience when deciding who to admit and who to turn down. If an individual doesn't meet these requirements it might be best to wait until they do or pursue another advanced degree with different requirements. Will an MBA Benefit Your Career? Although MBA programs offer a variety of course work ranging from economics and marketing classes to sociology and organizational management, the true purpose of an MBA program is to prepare students for a career in the field of business. According to Monster.com and Joanne Starr, assistant dean of admissions at the University of California (UC) Irvine's The Paul Merage School of Business, the MBA is a generalist degree that teaches students about the overall functions of business. Starr goes on to explain that those considering an MBA program should be focused on a career in business and have a desire to learn more about organization and functions within business. There are Numerous Programs, Choose Wisely Much like other degree programs that have evolved as technology has evolved, there is no longer one way to earn an MBA. In fact, there are a number of MBA programs available outside of the traditional two year, on-campus option that many are familiar with. Each program offers benefits and drawbacks, so choosing the right program is up to the individual. According to Monster.com, the following are the most common MBA programs offered in the 21st century: Weekend MBA: Common among current executives, this program requires one weekend a month on-campus for class and coursework is completed online during the week. Online MBA: These programs are offered entirely online. Students attend online chat sessions, connect in discussion forums, and complete coursework over the Internet. Part-time MBA: These programs can be completed online or on-campus and typically consist of students attending courses at night. The pace is much slower to accommodate those currently employed in business. Accelerated MBA: These programs are intensive 12-month courses that push students through a traditional, full-time MBA program in half the time. Each of these MBA programs offer different benefits and drawbacks. Some of the, such as the part-time MBA, can take upwards of four years to complete but allow individuals to remain employed. Others, such as the accelerated MBA, take less time but often require full-time attendance. Before enrolling in any MBA program it is important for individuals to consider the above factors when making their decision about earning an MBA.

Did a great job, on time, easy communication, good value. Will use Flamur again.
Really great friendly team. Left the place neat and tidy - nothing was too much trouble. We had to wait a while for them to fit us in but then again I would be worried if the turned up the next day! Value for money yes - not the cheapest but by no means most expensive. Would be happy to have them back again.

Gaming machine maker
Aristocrat says the claim is part of an ongoing, broader intellectual property dispute between Aristocrat and International Game Technology (IGT).
IGT on Tuesday filed a patent infringement suit against Aristocrat Leisure and its US affiliate, Aristocrat Technologies Inc, in connection with the sale and distribution of Aristocrat's gaming devices, particularly its Viridian WS slot machine.
"The lawsuit comes after failed attempts to resolve the IP (intellectual property) disputes between Aristocrat and IGT," IGT said in a statement published on its website.
Aristocrat was already taking action against IGT for alleged patent infringement, with one case before the Federal Court of Australia and one before the US District Court in California.
IGT asserts that "Aristocrat has willfully infringed and continues to infringe two patents directed to fundamental capabilities for authentication of gaming software".
"We filed this case because IGT's intellectual property is being knowingly and unfairly exploited by Aristocrat," said IGT chief legal officer Robert Melendres said.
Aristocrat said it did not consider IGT's proposed action material.

Mr. KOHL. I appreciate my colleague's remarks. I was pleased to collaborate with him on the dairy letter he just referenced, and I am glad to note his support for the work the committee has done to address the credit demands confronting family farmers. My expectation is that the USDA will utilize these resources in accordance with the programs and priorities set forth in the farm bill. Family farming and ranching businesses are facing many of the same challenges confronting our broader economy and the operating and farm loans contemplated under the bill are extremely important.
Mr. KOHL. We already have a shortage of health care workers who are trained and devoted to caring for older Americans and those with disabilities--a fact that is well documented in the report issued by the Institute of Medicine last year. This shortage is one that will only grow more desperate as our country ages rapidly. The United States will not be able to meet the approaching demand for health care and long-term care without a workforce that is prepared for the job.
Between 2005 and 2030, it is estimated that the number of adults aged 65 and older will almost double from 37 million to over 70 million, increasing from 12 percent of the population of the United States to almost 20 percent of the population. So it is not surprising that the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that personal or home care aides and home health aides will represent the second and third fastest growing occupations between 2006 and 2016.
Only last week, the New York Times published an editorial concluding that, ``With more jobs being lost all the time across the board--more than 71,000 layoffs in the United States were announced on Monday and Tuesday alone--there should be comfort in the fact that one sector, health care, continues to add jobs.'' I will ask to have this editorial printed in the Record.
Government has a special obligation to care for vulnerable populations. Inadequate training in geriatrics, gerontology, chronic care management, and long-term care is known to cause misdiagnoses, medication errors, and inadequate coordination of services and treatments that result in poor care and are costly for the health care system as a whole. Yet personal and home care aides are not subject to any Federal requirements related to training or education, and States have very different requirements for this key part of the direct care workforce. Furthermore, Federal training requirements for nurse aides and home health aides have not been updated for more than 20 years. It is time to review and improve training standards for all direct care workers. Current training protocols focus too much on tasks and too little on teaching how workers can deliver person-centered care. Further, often training does not reflect the increasingly complex needs of the frail elderly. Inadequate training has been found to be a major contributor to high turnover rates among direct care workers, while more training is correlated with better staff recruitment and retention.
Equally important, the IOM report recommends that State Medicaid programs increase pay and fringe benefits for direct care workers. Investment in direct care jobs would significantly benefit our economy by providing greater economic opportunity to low-income workers, while also strengthening health services for our aging and disabled family members and friends.
Mr. KOHL. I thank Senator Wyden and Senator Baucus for their attention to these important policies and look forward to working with them in the weeks ahead.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the editorial to which I referred be printed in the Record.
There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows:
[From the New York Times; Jan. 28, 2009]
Caring for the Caregivers
With more jobs being lost all the time across the board--more than 71,000 layoffs in the United States were announced on Monday and Tuesday alone--there should be comfort in the fact that one sector, health care, continues to add jobs. In December, employers added 32,000 health-related positions.
Unfortunately, one of the fastest-growing areas within the health care field--home care for the elderly--also is one of the lowest paid and most exploitable.
Outdated labor rules from 1975 allow home care aides to be defined as companions, which exempts their employers, usually private agencies, from federal standards governing overtime and minimum wages. As the population has aged, however, demand for home care has grown and the work has evolved far beyond companionship. It is not uncommon for home care workers to perform significant housekeeping chores and to help their elderly clients move, dress and eat, make sure they take their medicines and go to doctors' appointments.
In its last days in office in 2001, the Clinton administration proposed a revision to the labor rules to allow federal protections to apply to personal home care aides, but the Bush administration promptly threw that out and reasserted the status quo. A 2007 Supreme Court ruling upheld the rules, and a push that year by House and Senate Democrats to pass a bill to update the law went nowhere.
According to the Labor Department, personal and home care aides are expected to be the second fastest-growing occupation in the United States from 2006-2016, increasing by 51 percent, slightly behind the expected growth in systems and data communications analysts.
Most home care aides are women, low income and minority, and many of them are immigrants. Some states have taken steps to provide them with basic labor protections. Efforts to unionize home care workers in some states also has led to wage gains and better conditions. But the progress is incomplete without a federal law to recognize and protect the home care work force. It is unconscionable that workers who are entrusted with the care of some of the nation's most vulnerable citizens are themselves unprotected by basic labor standards.
It is also unwise, because poor pay for long hours leads to high turnover, which undermines the quality of care. Turnover also drives up the cost of providing home care--a needless drain on Medicaid, which pays for many home care services. And that is not the only way that poor quality home care jobs end up costing taxpayers. Nearly half of home care workers rely on food stamps or other public assistance, so taxpayers ultimately compensate for their low pay and inadequate benefits.
Of necessity, job creation and job quality will be the focus of the Obama administration in 2009, and, most likely, for many years. The Department of Labor could rewrite the rules to extend federal protections to home care workers. Or Congress and the White House could work together to pass a law granting those protections. Either way, the point is to ensure that home care, a 21st-century growth industry, creates good jobs.

PET owners in Siddington have been left in fear as 12 cats were recently found to be dead or missing.
Issues were raised at the latest Police Neighbourhood Co-ordination Group meeting which took place in the village near Cirencester on July 3.
One cat owner said he found his cat dead with blue foam coming out of its mouth. It was confirmed by a vet that the animal had been poisoned either with rat poison or anti-freeze.
Siddington Parish Councillor Alison Wagstaff said it was worrying and alarming that so many cats had gone missing in a short space of time.
"It's quite alarming because we do not have any control over cats. It could be a person being a bit careless with rat poison," said Alison, who is concerned for the safety of her own cat.
"If anyone sees any suspicious cannisters lying around it would be useful to know."
A spokesman from Gloucestershire Police said local officers will be speaking to the person that raised the issue at the meeting to get more facts.
He said: "Officers will then contact the owners of any cats that may have been harmed."
Do you know anything about the missing cats? Call Megan on 01285 627321.

Holiday Cookie Decorating Station
Total Time To Complete:
161 Minutes
Makes: 3 to 4 dozen cookies
Suitable for ages 3 - 12
- Sugar Cookies
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp. vanilla essence
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Cookie decorating is a big part of our holiday celebrations. It's something I do with my children every year.
So this holiday season invite some friends over and host a cookie decorating party. I'm going to show you how easy it can be.
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
In a separate bowl cream together the butter and sugar until smooth, and then beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients, making sure it is completely blended.
Cover your dough and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
Flour a board and roll out your cookie dough. I find that the thinner the cookie dough the more shape is retained when baking shapes. Cut out your holiday shapes and place on a lined baking tray. Bake for approximately 11-12 minutes. I prefer mine softer, so normally pull them out once they start to brown just a teeny bit around the edges.
Cool on a wire rack.
Sugar Cookie Icing
• 2lbs powdered sugar, sifted
• 1/2 cup meringue powder
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (clear if you want perfectly white icing)
• 1 tsp light corn syrup
• Food color – for making colored icing
Combine the meringue powder and water in a bowl with a mixer until foamy. Add in the extract and corn syrup, blend to combine a little.
Add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low until completely combined and then turning the speed up until the icing is shiny and peaks form. Be careful not to over mix.
You can add just a little more water (1 tsp or so) for flooding the cookies (creating a smooth texture all over) if you like. If you think you've added too much water and after testing the icing it doesn't smooth over within 10-20 seconds then add a little more powdered sugar.
I also had some regular green icing from cupcakes on hand and thought that would be fun for Christmas trees because it doesn't go hard so you can make it appear more 'tree-like'.
Pour your cookie icing into plastic dispenser bottles. Leave plastic knives out too for spreading. The bottle method is perfect for making details and outlines, and the knives are great for not only spreading the cookie icing, but also the regular icing.
The cookie icing hardens fairly quickly so keeping it in a bottle will help to keep it smooth and the bottles can be shared between the kids. Double up on the bottles though if you feel that kids will be waiting for certain colors for too long.
Toppings for cookies
• Crushed Wonka® SweeTARTS® Candy Canes
• Wonka® Frosty Nerds®
• Wonka® SweeTARTS® Merry Mix
• Wonka® Gobstopper® Snowballs
• Wonka® Spree® Mini Candy Canes
Place candies into silicone baking cups and place on the table or on a tray so that kids can choose which toppings they would like to use for decorating their cookies.
What else you need:
• Milk, because we love to nibble on candy and cookies while decorating
• Paper plates
• Napkins
Set all of your items up on a table so that children can pick and choose what they need to decorate their cookies. Decorate your table with simple holiday décor, using bright and fun holiday colors.
Now have fun decorating. We sure did.
The Wonka® Frosty Nerds® were definitely a favorite for decorating, and the crushed Wonka® SweeTARTS® Candy Canes made a fun winter scarf for my snowman.

Civil War
After the state of Mississippi seceded just before the start of the Civil War, Barksdale resigned from Congress to become adjutant general, and then quartermaster general, of the Mississippi Militia, at the rank of brigadier general, with date of rank March 1, 1861. On May 1, he was appointed colonelin the Confederate States Army of the 13th Mississippi Infantry, a regiment that he led in the First Battle of Bull Run that summer, and the Battle of Ball's Bluff in October. The following spring, he took his regiment to the Virginia Peninsula and fought in the Peninsula Campaign and the Seven Days Battles. When his brigade commander, Brig. Gen. Richard Griffith, was mortally wounded at the Battle of Savage's Station on June 29, 1862, Barksdale assumed command of the brigade and led it in an heroic, but bloody and futile, charge at the Battle of Malvern Hill. The brigade became known as "Barksdale's Mississippi Brigade." He was promoted to brigadier general on August 12, 1862.
In the Northern Virginia Campaign, Barksdale's Brigade was stationed at Harpers Ferry, and thus did not participate in the Second Battle of Bull Run. In the Maryland Campaign, his brigade was assigned to the division of Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws in Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's First Corps of theArmy of Northern Virginia. It was one of the brigades that attacked Maryland Heights, leading to the surrender of the Union garrison at Harpers Ferry. At the subsequent Battle of Antietam, McLaws's Division defended the West Woods against the assault by Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick's division, saving the Confederate left flank. At the Battle of Fredericksburg, Barksdale's Brigade defended the waterfront of the city from Union forces attempting to cross the Rappahannock River, sniping at infantry and engineer forces from buildings that had been turned into rubble by Union artillery.[1]General Barksdale's gravestone in Greenwood Cemetery, Jackson, Mississippi.
At the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, Barksdale's Brigade was one of the few units in James Longstreet's Corps that was present at the battle; most of the corps was detached for duty in Suffolk, Virginia. Once again, Barksdale's brigade defended the heights above Fredericksburg, this time against his previous adversary, Sedgwick, whose VI Corps was over ten times the size of his brigade. Sedgwick's assault was successful and Barksdale pulled back after delaying the Union force, but he was able to rally his brigade and retake the lost ground the next day.
At the Battle of Gettysburg, Barksdale's Brigade arrived with McLaws's Division after the first day of battle, July 1, 1863. The plan from General Robert E. Lee was for Longstreet's Corps to maneuver into position and attack northeast, up the Emmitsburg Road, to roll up the Union left flank. Barksdale's sector of the attack placed him directly at the tip of the salient in the Union line anchored at the Peach Orchard, defended by the Union III Corps. At about 5:30 p.m., Barksdale's Brigade burst from the woods and started an irresistible assault, which has been described as one of the most breathtaking spectacles of the Civil War. A Union colonel was quoted as saying, "It was the grandest charge that was ever made by mortal man."[2]Although he ordered his subordinate commanders to walk during the charge, Barksdale himself rode on horseback "in front, leading the way, hat off, his wispy hair shining so that it reminded [a Confederate staff officer] of 'the white plume of Navarre'."[3]
The Confederates smashed the brigade manning the Peach Orchard line, wounding and capturing the Union brigade commander himself. Some of Barksdale's regiments turned to the north and shattered Maj. Gen. Andrew A. Humphreys's division. Others of his regiments went straight ahead. By the time his men had gone as far as Plum Run, a mile into the assault, they were counterattacked by a brigade under Colonel George L. Willard. Barksdale was wounded in his left knee, followed by a cannonball to his left foot, and finally was hit by another bullet to his chest, knocking him off his horse. He told his aide, W.R. Boyd, "I am killed! Tell my wife and children that I died fighting at my post."[4] His troops were forced to leave him for dead on the field and he died the next morning in a Union field hospital (the Joseph Hummelbaugh farmhouse).
Barksdale is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Jackson, Mississippi.

Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy has been used both as a primary treatment and combined with surgery or drugs. It is usually reserved for patients who have tumor remaining after surgery. These patients often also receive medication to lower GH levels. Radiation therapy is given in divided doses over four to six weeks. This treatment lowers GH levels by about 50 percent over 2 to 5 years. Patients monitored for more than 5 years show significant further improvement. Radiation therapy causes a gradual loss of production of other pituitary hormones with time. Loss of vision and brain injury, which have been reported, are very rare complications of radiation treatments.
No single treatment is effective for all patients. Treatment should be individualized depending on patient characteristics, such as age and tumor size. If the tumor has not yet invaded surrounding brain tissues, removal of the pituitary adenoma by an experienced neurosurgeon is usually the first choice. After surgery, a patient must be monitored for a long time for increasing GH levels. If surgery does not normalize hormone levels or a relapse occurs, a doctor will usually begin additional drug therapy. The first choice should be bromocriptine because it is easy to administer; octreotide is the second alternative. With both medications, long-term therapy is necessary because their withdrawal can lead to rising GH levels and tumor re-expansion. Radiation therapy is generally used for patients whose tumors are not completely removed by surgery; for patients who are not good candidates for surgery because of other health problems; and for patients who do not respond adequately to surgery and medication.

Ever since we got back from our honeymoon, I've been in serious nesting mode. We're saving for a house deposit, so we don't really want to spend lots of money or buy big pieces of furniture. We're not ready for kids yet and despite my longing for a pet, that's not in the cards right now either. So what's a girl to do? Well, buy plants, name them and talk to them.
I've always had a talent for killing plants, but now that I'm all grown up (married even!) I figured it was time to try again.
Terrariums and air plants are pretty trendy right now, but when James and I came across a make-your-own kit, we couldn't resist it. I thought an air plant would be pretty easy to take care of, and so far I've been right. The plastic dinosaur has been hanging around our house for a few months after it arrived tucked into some kind of online order. Now he's got a home.
And here's Planty, our first real plant. I'm really paranoid about killing him, but so far he seems to be doing alright. So far, I've managed to keep him alive for six weeks.
And those are the most recent additions to the family, which are probably not that impressive to most people. I'm excited though and I'm already planning our next purchase. I do love the thought of bringing some more greenery into our home.

THE 2012 London Olympics are on course to surpass the acclaimed 2000 Sydney Games.
That's the opinion of the Australian Olympic Committee president, John Coates, who was speaking in Sydney a year out from the opening ceremony at London's Olympic Park Stadium.
Coates was full of praise for the London organisation, which has almost 90 per cent of all new venues complete.
''I think we're all pretty proud of Sydney [2000] and many people say that Sydney remains the benchmark,'' Coates said. ''But from where I've been sitting, London has been six months to a year ahead of us in their preparations all the way through since they were awarded the Games six years ago.''
But Coates was quick to point out the heavy involvement of Australians in the London Games organisation.
''We can take some pride from the fact that a lot of Australians were enlisted by them to help in their master planning, help in their bid planning and there's a lot of Australians dotted throughout the organising committee.
''But these Games now have the very British stamp to them and I think there's every prospect of them surpassing our Games.''
Coates, who took a look at the preparations on a visit to London in May, believes they're on a winner by using some of the city's iconic venues to house various sports. The All England Club in Wimbledon is the venue for the tennis, Lord's cricket ground hosts the archery and a temporary beach will be built at Horse Guards Parade on the Prime Minister's doorstep for the beach volleyball.
Coates also repeated the goals the AOC have for the Australian team at the London Games.
''Our target is again to finish in the top five in the gold and the overall medal tally,'' he said. ''At the last Olympic Games, we were fifth in the overall medal tally, and fourth in Sydney and fourth in Athens, but we slipped to sixth in the gold medal tally [in Beijing] and we'd like to correct that.''
With the top three spots sure to be occupied by powerhouses Russia, China and the United States, Coates said Australia's focus would be to battle it out with Britain, France and Germany for a top five spot.
''If we can finish ahead or close to the Brits we will be in the top five, there's nothing surer,'' he said.

A TOUR de France-style bike race is coming to the roads around South Cerney this Sunday (May 25).
Taking place as part of the annual Street Fair weekend, and promoted by local bike shop and club Performance Cycles (of Poulton) the race will round off a day of cycling activities that starts with a morning of skills training for youngsters and then a 'villagers' race' where locals will complete a lap of the course and see how quick they are compared to the afternoon racers.
The race is the opening round of the season-long Cotswold League and has attracted a high quality field.
Taking to the start line and wearing rider No.1 will be Rory Gilling (Performance Cycles) who won the overall title in last year's Cotswold League, along with Mark Perry (Ride 24/7) who won the first edition of the race last year in the colours of his old team Dream Cycling.
Racing starts at 2.30pm and is expected to last just under two hours – with the start/finish at Atkins Manor in the centre of South Cerney (next to the Old George Inn).
The race is supported by Performance Cycles, The Old George Inn, Sunwise sunglasses, Wiltshire Ambulance and British Cycling.
