Chandler Brownsboro - City of Chandler outdoor burning regulations
All of the questions are good and we have answered them to the best of our ability. In order to provide factual information to as many citizens as possible the following information is being provided. The City of Chandler 's Burn Ordinance 07-119, passed and approved on June 12, 2007, was written to reflect the Outdoor Burning Rule set out in Title 30 Texas Administrative Code Sections 111.201-221.
A summary of the rule may be found online at http: www.tceq.state.us files rg-049.pdf4127821.pdf The following excerpts were taken from the summary titled as, Outdoor Burning in Texas Field Operations Texas Commission on Environmental Quality RG-049 August 2007 "The current version of the Outdoor Burning Rule is the result of a concerted effort to produce a streamlined, unam- biguous rule that can be applied consistently and fairly throughout Texas.
Its purpose is to protect the environment, promote public health and safety, and avoid nuisance conditions through the sensible regulation of outdoor burning." The Outdoor Burning Rule first prohibits outdoor burning anywhere in Texas, and then allows exceptions for specific situations in which burning is necessary or does not pose a threat to the environment."
Domestic waste -- in other words household trash or rubbish -- may be burned when the local governmental organization with jurisdiction over such matters does not collect trash and does not authorize a business or other service to do so." 111.219. General Requirements for Allowable Outdoor Burning. Outdoor burning which is otherwise authorized shall also be subject to the following requirements when specified in any section of this subchapter."
Burning must be outside the corporate limits of a city or town except where the incorporated city or town has enacted ordinances which permit burning consistent with the Texas Clean Air Act, Subchapter E, Authority of Local Governments.

Recent trend has students looking to the stars - Features
Astrology, the study of how heavenly bodies supposedly affect human life and behavior, continues to counsel people on life decisions despite critics who claim that it is pure superstition. Controversy Critics like John Blanton, webmaster for The North Texas Skeptics, say astrology is not a real science and claim stars and planets have no effect on human behavior.
It's interesting because it comes from astronomy," Blanton said. But astrology derives from it by saying stars are magical, omnipotent and their effect on our life is magical." TCU's chair of the astronomy department, T.W. Zerda, claims astrology is a "bunch of nonsense." Astronomy is the science and study of the stars and universe, planets and its motion; it has no interpretation of what a star's position in the sky could mean in people's lives, Zerda said.
Yet among those who believe a star's location could foretell the future, Los Angeles astrologer Terence Guardino makes charts for clients in which he shows how planets were aligned on the day they were born. Guardino claims that alignment explains the relationship between the universe and human life and why people behave the way they do.
His Web site with astrology forecasts for the 12 sun signs gets about 1,000 hits a month. This number excludes the hits he gets from YouTube, where he said he received about 40,000 hits in the past year.
Unlike other Web sites, Guardino said, his pages provide astrological forecasts in a video format and include descriptions of the 12 horoscope personalities. Skeptics The North Texas Skeptics has been in existence since 1983 under a different name, and its goal is to test theories and claims to provide people with the truth.
Blanton uses the term pseudoscience, a field that does not use the scientific method, and said people believe in things with paranormal links because it relieves them of personal responsibilities. People have reasons to believe, and it's good to blame someone else for something," he said.
Beyond throwing out personal responsibility, John Thomas, director emeritus for the NTS, said beliefs do not have to be true and it's a matter of bringing comfort to people. Blanton gives an example of a divorce - if a person's marriage ended, it could easily be blamed in the stars and was therefore meant to happen.
There is no consistency, it's not established," he said. Authors who realize there is good money in this area could easily make something up and be perfectly all right."
Thomas said astrology works because of confirmation bias, where the person who gets a reading hears something and will remember an event in his or her life, making the statement true. It's cherry-picking the evidence," Thomas said. But people think it's very comforting." Blanton said astrology is harmless, but people can get carried away and risk away things they may never get back.
Don't let it run your life," Blanton said. It's a good recreational sport." Biblical Perspective Beyond a recreational sport, astrology can be linked with the occult. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says "let no one be found among you. Lord." Cky Carrigan, professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, says astrology is a form of divination, the practice of uncovering hidden secrets.
He said the main issue concerning astrology for biblical scholars was ethics, not effectiveness. The Bible tells us not to engage in astrology - it's clear in what it says," Carrigan said. Followers of Christ are not to follow divination." Ken Horton, pastor at McKinney Memorial Bible Church, recommends seeking God's advice, rather than seeing an astrologer. You're better off getting counseling from people who know you, rather than a speculation from a stranger," Horton said.
Astrologers practice something called cold reading, a term that is given to magicians and psychics who use intuition to read how people react to different trigger words and actions, Horton said. There's nothing magical about it," he said.
As for the accuracy, Carrigan said it's based on the odds of getting it right, making sure to incorporate emotional strings into things. There are intuitive people out there that listen well, look carefully and it works," he said. Carrigan said the effect of the reading is usually good because people go in wanting to believe.
Hope is a powerful thing - it's unfortunate for some of us who have hope for no good reason. Hoping someone will give us insight," Carrigan said. Astrology's Validity The American Federation of Astrologers, founded in 1938, provides safeguards and certification for astrologers, Guardino said.
The group certifies astrologers on the AFA student, professional and teacher levels. Kepler College in Lynnwood, Wash., Washington to give out academic degrees, offers a bachelor of arts and a graduate program in astrology, said Jolee Worones, registrar at Kepler College.
Worones said although Kepler College isn't accredited they hope to have accreditation by the summer and are currently in the process of being accepted as a candidate by an accreditation agency. She would not disclose the name of the accrediting agency. Supporters June Clark, who writes under the name June Rifkin, is senior associate for FinePrint Literary Management and a fan of Guardino's forecasts.

In brief: Cigarettes and Clayton ethics ajc.com
Senate Rules Committee Chairman Don Balfour (R-Snellville) sponsored the bill after unsuccessful attempts the past two years. Unlike bills introduced in 2006 and 2007, Balfour said, tobacco industry lobbyists do not oppose this one. At first, I thought this was a stupid idea," he said Tuesday. But it will save lives." Balfour's bill is aimed at preventing house fires or deaths because smokers left cigarettes burning when they fell asleep.
Ethics bill for Clayton supported The state Senate voted 53-0 Tuesday in support of ethics legislation for Clayton County Schools - one of the mandates for the district to salvage its accreditation. House Bill 1302 calls for a panel of citizens to review ethics violations by school board members and then issue punishments, including fines and removal, said Larry O'Keeffe, a Morrow father who first pushed for the legislation.
Parents sought the legislation after the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools recommended revocation of the district's accreditation because of unethical behavior by board members. SACS gave the district until Sept. 1 to meet nine mandates or lose accreditation. Gov. Sonny Perdue must sign the bill before the district can move forward.

Call for all cigarettes to be sold in administer cardboard packs
Ms Becky Freeman and Professor Simon Chapman hold combed through tobacco production commerce magazines and formerly private internal tobacco industry documents, finding that the industry nowadays sees the pack as its most treasured advertising medium. They are quite expansive approximately it: immediately that the regulation prevents them from advertising, the leading amusement is these days via the pack.
Pack composition is like now the leading column of moulding tobacco products appealing and interesting, largely to fledgling starters." They are backed by investment advisors Morgan Stanley who stated in 2007 "In our opinion, after taxation the other two regulatory earth changes that jungle the industry the most are comparable packaging and below-the-counter sales.
Both would significantly restrict the industry's capability to cooperate their products." Freeman & Chapman communication that governments acquire gangling regulated packs by mandating broad and instanter grisly pack warnings. Not one cent has been paid by any management to compensate any collection for loss of trade mark. International act is regulate on this: governments can over-ride all arguments about the sanctity of trade marks and branding by invoking common health concerns."
With the WHO recently forecasting that one billion clan testament die from tobacco caused disease this century, and over 150 nations having ratified its Framework Convention on Tobacco Polity which bans all forms of tobacco advertising, governments determined about tobacco government obligation to finish the job and want direct packaging, argue Freeman and Chapman.
Chapman, who has been awarded the WHO medal for tobacco control, says that sincere packaging may seem a extreme policy today, but that the corresponding was said about banning to tobacco advertising, sports sponsorship and banning smoking in workplaces.
