Case Number # 6384
Earthjustice petitioned the state Commission on Water Resource Management to establish instream flow standards that would sustain beneficial instream uses, such as ecological protection, Native Hawaiian practices, recreation, and scenic values, for Na Wai Eha (The Four Great Waters) in Central Maui. The petition demanded that the water currently being hoarded and wasted by private companies be returned to the streams of origin.
In March 2008, the Commission decided to take over management of the four waters of Na Wai Eha. The decision means that those diverting water or planning to divert water from these streams will have to apply for a permit.
In June 2010, a majority of the Commission, over a strong dissent, issued a decision returning minimal flows to two of the four streams and leaving the other two dewatered, without any restored flows. The next step is a court appeal challenging the decision.

LAKE WYLIE — Palmetto Pregnancy Center has been offering a hand to clients in Lake Wylie for several years, and several local groups are doing the same for the center.
At the end of November, the Lake Wylie branch had its carport area enclosed to provide more space. The move also provides more capabilities for the 400 to 500 clients seen at the center each year, as well as additional storage space.
"What it did was it allowed us to double our capacity," said Lorrie Domin, director.
Before there was one room for meeting with clients and an office. Now, an education room will allow for larger parenting classes.
"Right now it's just one-on-one," Domin said.
New mothers can take parenting classes at the center and earn credits to spend in the "mommy boutique" there. The expansion was a partnership between several groups, including All Saints Knights of Columbus Council No. 14475, Keistler Construction and three local churches - The Journey, Scherer Memorial Presbyterian and Bethel Baptist.
"We believe in the value of every life and want to help those who may be struggling during a pregnancy," said Bart Plaxco, pastor for Bethel Baptist. "This should be a very exciting time in the life of a young lady and man, but there are those who find this time in their life to be very hard."
Bethel offers the building where the pregnancy center is located. Plaxco said the partnership is an effort to "celebrate life and care for those who are struggling with this gift of a new life."
"They are a valuable asset to our community and deserve our support and effort," he said.
Late All Saints member Jim Poto was instrumental in fundraising that led to an ultrasound machine at Palmetto Pregnancy in Lake Wylie. Before he died, he asked former homebuilder and fellow All Saints member Steve Zito to see to it that the recent project was completed.
"We got it done," Zito said. "They have all the storage they need now."
Zito's group is about halfway toward its fundraising goal to bring an ultrasound machine to the Palmetto Pregnancy location in Fort Mill. He's particularly proud of the Lake Wylie effort since so many people are tapped out toward the end of the year, yet many gave.
"It's nice because it's giving girls different choices," Zito said.
Palmetto Pregnancy has locations in Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Lake Wylie. A variety of services are offered including pregnancy confirmation and ultrasound, and each location has a 24-hour helpline. Services are free to women.
Several churches, as well as individuals, have helped Palmetto Pregnancy continue its work, and now All Saints Council is looking to raise money for another ultrasound machine for Lake Wylie.
"We definitely have been blessed," Domin said.

Herbal Treatment for Cushing's Disease
Cushing's disease is an endocrine disorder caused by prolonged high levels of cortisol. This may occur as a result of endogenous or exogenous causes.
Cortisol and other glucocorticoid hormones are produced by the adrenal cortex. These play an active role in carbohydrate and protein metabolism. The pituitary gland secretes its own hormone (ACTH) that signals the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol. Cushing's disease may thus be pituitary dependent or adrenal dependent. The major cause of excess production is a tumor in either of the two glands. Hormonal supplements given for treating other diseases can also lead to an excess of cortisol.
Unlike other dog ailments, dog owners often fail to suspect Cushing's disease as the cause of certain symptomatic manifestations. Canine Cushing's is seen mostly in older dogs. Since most of the symptoms are similar to the advanced age of the dog, these become difficult to identify and observe. Most of the time, it is the veterinarian who becomes suspicious of the condition and prescribes tests for checking the ACTH and cortisol levels in the blood.
There is still very little known that is known about what causes tumors in the pituitary and adrenal glands of dogs. There are only vague ideas of immunity and genetic or environmental factors that may cause Cushing's. Treatment of Cushing's syndrome in dogs is typically with conventional drugs, used for inhibiting the production of cortisol by controlled the destruction of adrenal tissue.
Alternative therapies like herbal treatment for Cushing's disease in dogs, on the other hand, have a different approach to Cushing's. Alternative treatments are holistic in nature and focus more on encouraging the inner strength of the dog's body to fight disease.
Herbal treatments can significantly endorse the health of adrenal glands and promote healthy functioning. Some herbal and natural substances can effectively reduce the level of free cortisol in the blood and manage some of the classic symptoms associated with canine Cushing's as well.
Cortisol marshals responses to inflammation, stimulate the liver to produce more blood sugar and helps to control water in the dog's body. Excessive amounts of cortisol are instrumental in symptoms like excessive hair loss, dry skin, bloated stomach and weakened muscles. Besides improving adrenal health, herbal treatments can provide a helping hand in management of these symptoms, which can be a big drain on the health of your companion dog.

Best Burger in the Twin Cities – I like this place. It's a great neighborhood bar and the food is always good.
Meh – I try to like Bunny's. I'm just not a fan.
Fair tap beer selection, and super close to where I live, but the food is always bland. I've gone on a few occassions and it's always less than average.
It's very loud, even when it's not busy. It's all one big room mostly. It's also ridiculously bright. I can't recall being in a restaurant, much less a bar that is so bright.
Some nice bartenders.
Overall, I don't think it's a dive, but more neighborhood bar. Maybe that is the stigma they tried to overcome when they remodeled. Anyway, not my thing.
All right guys I'm soliciting opinions here. I think the Walleye is the best I've had in any restaurant in Minnesota period. Weigh in... who's had better? This might be just a Friday thing ?
Easy going tavern – I see that Bunny's is listed as a "dive bar". Man, that makes me really really sad that we here in the Twin Cities area are relegading a solid neighborhood establishment such as Bunny's into the category of "Dive".
Dive, to me, signifies dark, smoky, where the purpose if getting drunk. Bunny's, esp in it's new location, is bright, happy, and although it's not trendy (thus I suspect it being relagaded to "Dive" status), it's clientelle is middle to upper-middle class. The drinks are not expensive, the food is reasonable (try the buffallo drummies) and the conversation is down to earth. The crowd here tens to be 30s-40s, the wait staff attentive, the music is not loud. Oh, did I mention the prices are reasonable?
Downside, it's not a trendy pickyp bar, and sometimes it's so popular (especially happy hours 5-6) that you might have to park on the street.
Best sports bar in Twin Cities – Bunny's is the best! Good bar food at good prices, good selection of tap beers (with a rotating `beer of the month'). The atmosphere is quintessential Minnesota. Everyone at the bar is chatty, including the bartenders--the best "Wiz" works at the far end of the bar. You can never be sure who you'll talk to at the bar, but I've never had a dull conversation there. Great place to go alone or with friends. Casual atmosphere..though some people do dress up.
Best Neighborhood Sports Bar! – Bunny's is a staple. A great place to go for really any location. They've added several new flat screen TV's in the past couple years, so it's great for watching any sporting event. Great popcorn, fantastic FREE taco bar during regular and late-night happy hours and the breakfast can pull you into eating there for lunch and dinner in the same day! Food Rec's: Daunte's Inferno, any Pizza, Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, the Hot Dog, Cobb Salad (enormous) and they have a Tuesday night Sandwich Special, the Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich (ask for horseradish). Yes, it's bar food...but it's great!
Bunny's works for me. It's loud, neighborhood joint. Not a pick up place, lots of families and large groups. Free taco bar at 10pm. Excellent pizzas. Great lasagna and daily specials. Lots of parking. it's all good.
Friendly bar with above average food (most items) – Too bad the only place to smoke if it rains is right in front of the door....but "most" people are friendly enough about it. The few who are rude, really are crass about it! Fun and friendly atmosphere. This is a casual and friendly place...not fancy, no pretense. Sometimes that is "just what you are looking for". Staff seems to work hard. When they close the back portion of the place down, they aren't exactly "accomodating and friendly about it" tho'. Too bad - but "business is business" I guess. Overall a pleasant experience...especially for FRIENDLINESS of patrons and staff.
Average – Staff is nice, food is good but this place, overall, bores me. The crowd tends to be softball teams or Edina High School class of 1995. So that's losers, and more losers. Seriously, try this place out on a holiday night and it'll be Edina HS Alumni. I have nothing against this type. It's amusing to watch. If you do, STAY CLEAR!
Editorial Review – Sports bar and grill offers meat-and-potatoes options and a place to watch the game.

1. It can help you visualize the tile spacing, grout color, and placement to help you decide before you commit to the whole job, but no, it isn't essential.
2. That may be more than needed...I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I would think a minimum of 1/4" per foot.
3. If it doesn't leak in 24-hours, it's unlikely to leak in 72, but if you have the time, it won't hurt. The longer it sits, the more you have to account for evaporation, otherwise, you'll get a false indication when it does drop some. But, it would disclose wicking or leaks into the wall or floor, if you have access to see it (which may not be the case for all sides).

Afrobeat Meets Funk With Polyrhythmics in Durango
The hard-driving percussive essence of traditional Yoruba music, a derivative of technical Nigerian drum styles, meets the groovy hornscape of traditional funk with Seattle's Polyrhythmics. Only three years into their existence, the band has already dropped two standout albums with Labrador and the self-titled Polyrhythmics. Both projects implement trace elements of suave instrumental jazz and soul without sacrificing a cohesion that truly positions the band as one of the pack leaders in the nu-funk era.
The records become even more impressive when considering the unorthodox yet fitting technique of placing the entire band in a one-room studio to capture the songs live on a single take. That kind of focus on execution is what has pushed the band out of their Northwest homebase into the Western touring and festival circuit at a breakneck speed. The eight- member outfit can barely fit on the club stages that they have built their performance reputation on, but sonically the distinction between the three horn players, bass, keys, drums, and percussion travels the airwaves without confrontation.
Now the Kept Records ensemble that claimed Best Band In Seattle is set to play a rare, must-see show at the the Summit in Durango on St. Patrick's Day.

Odd Men Out on Tour: Paranoid Social Club in Grand Junction
Childhood friends Dave Gutter and John Roods started writing music together very early in life. They were 12 when they finished their first song, and eventually formed what is arguably the biggest band to ever come out of the state of Maine. Gutter and Rood's residency as the famed Rustic Overtones gave way to a disbanding hiatus that quickly became the origins of Paranoid Social Club in 2002.
Almost incestuously trading members and flirting with positions in other bands, the current PSC four-piece is continuing the psychedelic indie-punk sound overhaul that started a decade ago. Part The Flaming Lips mixed with Spoon, but sounding like neither in particular, PSC's music isn't the only oddly dissident thing about the band. While the digital landscape allows for any garage band to have a presence, Gutter and Rood's brainchild lacks an updated online outpost, and somehow this strangely feeds into their developed cult following mythology.
Axis II was the band's first studio release, followed by a double disc titled Axis III & I. Chronologically deficient on purpose, I think, they then dropped a self-titled record in 2004, before a six-year lull that brought Axis IV. The band has a lot of tunes, and a majority of them are so good that listening to them would make any audiophile question why they had not heard them before. In hopes of the disregard for traditional industry methods actually being a calculated effort to cleverly rewrite the status quo required from rock musicians, be sure to check out the quirky Paranoid Social Club at Cruiser's Bar in Grand Junction on Tuesday.

The Department of Occupational Safety and Health at Murray State University is pleased to announce the receipt of a generous donation from the Chevron Corporation.
The $15,000 donation will be utilized to strengthen the ability to serve our students by providing scholarships, funds for the AIHA and ASSE student chapters, and support for various department needs. Donations such as this, in addition to the internship and employment opportunities, helps our department maintain the highest standards necessary for our nationally accredited bachelor and master degree programs. Continued support provided by companies like the Chevron Corporation is invaluable to the professional growth and success of the occupational safety and health students at Murray State University.
L to R: Melissa Burcham, HES Specialist – Field and Process Support, Chevron Deepwater Exploration/Projects SBU D&C; LaTasha Goodridge –Advisor, Project Resource Company, HES Recruiter – Murray State University, Chevron Upstream & Gas; Dr. David G. Kraemer – Chair, Department of Occupational Safety and Health; Daniel Snyder – Project Manager, Upstream Business Unit, Chevron Environmental Management Company
Dr. David G. Kraemer, Professor and Chair of the Department of Occupational Safety and Health was awarded the Spirit Award by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) on May 30,2013. The Spirit Award is a yearly recognition that is presented to an individual or organization that epitomizes the spirit and mission of the NFSI to aid in the prevention of slips, trips and falls through education, research and standards development.
Russ Kendzior, NFSI president, presented the award to Kraemer, thanking him for his commitment and leadership in the NFSI/MSU partnership and his dedication to the education of OSH students. The NFSI and Murray State partnered for the first slip-and-fall accident prevention research and training laboratory, located on campus. Unlike other independent university research projects that have been conducted in the past, the NFSI research laboratory at Murray State University is the first permanent facility of its type in the country and serves as a training ground for future environmental health and safety professions.
The partnership has allowed undergraduate and graduate occupational safety and health students to study the cause-and-effect relationships that occur as the result of hazardous flooring conditions. The students have been able to study how the slip resistance of various walkway materials is impacted by contaminants and how those contaminants may be removed to provide a stable walking surface.
"The partnership between NFSI and Murray State is one of the signature cooperative efforts on campus," said Dr. Randy Dunn, MSU president. "I thank Dr. Kraemer for his efforts, which have continued to elevate the occupational safety and health program as one of the strongest on campus."
The Air Evac Lifeteam landed at Murray State University's Roy Stewart Stadium on May 30, 2013, and held a safety class for OSH 101, Emergency Medical Training, students.
The MSU ASSE Student Chapter held its second Tornado Relief Drive on May 28, 2013. Four volunteers from MSU's ASSE Student Chapter helped with efforts to collect items needed to aid Oklahoma cities in their recovery effort from the F4 tornado that destroyed large parts of Moore, Oklahoma and other nearby cities. MSU ASSE students used the Dollar General storefront in Murray, KY, as the venue for the drive. A big thank you to Dollar General and all of the people who were kind enough to donate several hundred dollars worth of needed items for Oklahoma.
The Department of
Occupational Safety and Health celebrated its annual Awards and Recognition
Reception on April 26, 2013, at the Richard H. Lewis Lodge at Cherokee Park.
OSH students were recognized for receiving over $56,000 in scholarship money,
as well as over $64,000 in NIOSH grant tuition assistance. Twenty-seven
students were recognized for receiving the Graduate Safety Practitioner (GSP)
designation and fifteen students were inducted into Rho Sigma Kappa, the OSH
Honor's Society. Thirty-four students were recognized as May/August 2013
graduates, twenty graduating with a B.S. in OSH and fourteen with a M.S. in
OSH. In addition, the first Thomas R. Begley Memorial Award was awarded to a
deserving OSH student. The undergraduate Honor's Recipients for outstanding
academic performance, outstanding senior, and outstanding contributor were also
Dr. Treasa M. Turnbeaugh, the Chief Executive Officer of the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) spoke to the Occupational Safety and Health Students at Murray State University on March 28, 2013, at the MSU ASSE Student Chapter meeting.
On February 10, 2013, an F4 tornado tore through Hattiesburg, Mississippi causing numerous injuries and millions of dollars in damage. Several dorm buildings of Southern Mississippi University (SMU) were damaged and many students were left without living quarters.
In an effort to assist Hattiesburg in rebuilding and educate our own community in Murray, our ASSE chapter held a Tornado Relief Drive in the storefront of Dollar General on March 2, 2013. We asked patrons of the store to purchase and donate certain items needed in Hattiesburg. We also handed out Red Cross Emergency Preparedness and Home Hazard Hunt Checklists to the public. The purpose behind these handouts was to educate our community on what preparations they need to make in the case an emergency such as a tornado ever hit our area. The Home Hazard Hunt Checklist instructed people on how to control hazards in the home.
Thirteen MSU ASSE members came to the event to assist in the collection of donations. We collected several hundred dollars worth of much needed goods. The items donated for the SMU tornado relief were taken to a distribution center in Hattiesburg by SMU alumni.
National Safety Council Designates Murray State University a Safe Community
The National Safety Council designated Murray State University as an "International Safe Community" on December 7, 2012. Murray State is the 1st public university in the world to receive this designation and is only the third university to be designated. It is the 22nd community in the United States, the 299th worldwide. As the first public university to become designated, it 's a real differentiator.
In 2011, it was suggested by the Murray State University, American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Student Section President that the university pursue the Safe Community designation and the process began. Dr. David Fender, Professor in the Department of Occupational Safety and Health, was largely responsible for applying and receiving the designation for Murray State.
This designation means that Murray State University has demonstrated that it is a leading institution in addressing a wide variety of safety and health issues. We have processes in place to keep the campus safe, both from a safety and health viewpoint. It does not mean that the university or the community is 100 percent safe, nobody could make that claim, but we do have successful active prevention programs as well as having processes that if something were to happen, then we know exactly what needs to be done.
Safe Communities America is an international program that was developed more than 20 years ago by the World Health Organization's (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Community Safety Promotion in Stockholm, Sweden. It started at the local level and caught on across Sweden before the WHO took notice.
The program is a proven approach to community injury reduction structured around a broad coalition of coalition of community partners, including businesses, civic organizations, local government, non-profits, and local residents.
The United States and the National Safety Council has been involved with this since 2007, and since that time 23 communities that have been designated. It takes a lot of work and requires a significant effort to achieve the designation and is quite a prestigious honor. To receive the designation communities must have and document extensive safety and health programs in a wide variety of areas and pass an on-site review with an international review team.
Randal Keller has received a special recognition as a result of his efforts
working with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Chemical and Biological
Technologies Department: Advance and Emerging Threat Division. Dr. Keller has
been part of a distinguished Review Panel for the annual project-level
technical review team. This year's Science and Technology (S&T) Review
Symposium included more than 40 projects that were funded at almost 40 million
dollars. Dr.
Keller was nominated and competitively selected as a reviewer and subject
matter expert for this project. He was commended by his peers for his scientific
insights and practical, logical comments throughout the process. Congratulations
Dr. Keller for serving as an ideal ambassador for MSU and the OSH Department!

Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 Expected This Year
The hits just keep on coming.
May 6, 2009
In an earnings call with investors today, THQ execs said they hope to release the next installment in the Smackdown vs. Raw series later this year.
Predictably titled Smackdown vs. Raw 2010, the upcoming wrestling title follows a solid (but not stellar) showing in the series. Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 received a 7.9 from IGN PlayStation editor Greg Miller. Will the next entry fare better? So far we know nothing about SVR10 except its title and anticipated release window. When we know more, so will you.
What would you like to see in the next round of Smackdown vs. Raw? Let us know in the comments section.

--I may be able to help with the rubber expansion bolt problem.
--Clearly the Kohler toilets are useless junk. The handle mechanism on mine is very touchy and hard to adjust. The toilet doesn't flush well or efficiently. But my real problems started when the Kohler toilet seat broke. I've replaced lots of toilet seats but the hidden aluminum tube that holds the toilet seat bolt inside the porcelain body was a new one for me. The corrosion that locked the steel bolt into place was a challenge. I cut the plastic toilet hinge off, but the steel bolt was another matter. I appreciate the suggestion to hacksaw the bolt head off, but I was wary of scuffing the porcelain surface where there's little room to work, so I drilled out the head and twisted off the remnants. As others have suggested, once the bolt head is gone, the rest of the bolt drops down into the internal void. The suggestion to drill out the alumninum receptacle and insert an expansion bolt/insert was interesting, but others have pointed out the difficulty of finding that bolt in just the right size. In addition I was wary of drilling out the tube and fracturing the porcelain. So I used a hollow wall anchor inside the aluminum tube. Fasten the seat down with a drywall screw and a washer and you're done. Incidentally, I put wheel bearing grease around the original Kohler bolt that I put back in the undamaged, threaded aluminum tube, hoping that I'll be able to get the bolt out easily next time. Good luck.

No special background is required. You need only have the desire to learn the skills that will make you a successful manager.
How does this course approach the topic of management?
Your natural managerial ability can be appreciably improved through formal training. This course teaches you what good management is and how to do it effectively. You learn the tasks of the two fundamental managerial roles:
- Administrative Manager: Setting objectives, delegating tasks, carrying out appraisals and running the day-to-day work of the team
- Leader: Building a vision for the team, motivating individual team members, communicating effectively and building the ability of the team to do an outstanding job
How does this course differ from Course 906, Management Skills for an IT Environment?
Both Course 290, Management Skills, and Course 906, Management Skills for an IT Environment, focus on the fundamental skills, best practices and behaviors of effective managers. If you are managing technical people, you should take Course 906, Management Skills for an IT Environment. Otherwise, you should take Course 290, Management Skills. Due to the similarity of both courses, it is not appropriate to take both.
How does emotional intelligence apply to management?
In order to develop self awareness and self responsibility in others, managers must demonstrate these qualities themselves. The emotional intelligence model focuses on the key building blocks of the necessary intra- and inter-personal skills and behaviors that enable managers to deal productively with a broad range of individuals and challenging situations.
Emotional intelligence is the subject of one chapter in this course. For more in-depth coverage of emotional intelligence, please see Course 3411, Emotional Intelligence: Achieving Leadership Success.
I prefer to do things on my own. Why should I delegate?
An effective manager uses delegation as a tool to empower and encourage others. Through effective delegation, you continually increase the capability of your team demonstrated through increased revenue and a growing customer base.
I have an underperforming employee. Can I really motivate him/her?
Yes. By understanding your employee's individuality, skills, strengths and personal values, it is possible to develop customized motivational strategies. These can be used to maintain the motivation of employees who are on target or redirect the efforts of employee whose performance goes off track.
Is this course applicable toward a Project Management Institute (PMI) certification?
Yes. Though this course is not designed as preparation for an exam, it is beneficial to anyone working toward, or maintaining, a PMI certification. Most PMI certifications require a specific number of PDUs in order to obtain and maintain the credential. Completion of this course provides 23 professional development units (PDUs).
