Don't be bin statistic
By CURT ARENS
Stored grain in poor condition can be a recipe for death. More quality problems in storing grain this past season resulted in more problems with loading it out. There were more than 38 grain entrapments recorded in the U.S. in 2009, the highest number since 1993, according to a report from Purdue University's Agriculture Safety and Health Program. Forty-two percent of those entrapped didn't make it out alive.
Chuck Hoffman isn't surprised. He directs the Rapid Response Rescue Team in the training division of the Nebraska State Fire Marshal's office and has been personally involved in two dramatic grain-entrapment rescue missions.
At a glance
• The U.S. had more than 38 grain entrapments in 2009.
• Never enter a grain bin without someone assisting.
• Plan ahead before jumping inside a grain bin.
"In the first incident, one victim extracted himself, and the other two were successfully extracted by the fire department personnel," Hoffman says. "The second incident involved the complete burial of the victim in grain to a level about 2 feet above his head." He didn't make it.
"All of these incidents were emotionally draining for the rescue crews involved," Hoffman says. "In the second case, the victim was a life-long friend of many department members and a family member to some department personnel."
Save your life
Hoffman says that entrapments like that are avoidable. When storing grain and working around grain handling systems, there are basic safety measures that farmers and grain handling workers can take that might save their lives:
• Never go in alone. Make sure someone is there, watching and assisting. Cell phones normally do not work inside a metal or concrete grain bin.
• Get harnessed up. Anyone planning to enter a bin should wear a harness and a safety line secured to the individual and tied off at the bin entrance.
• Lock it out. Locking and tagging the grain handling system prevents someone from unknowingly engaging the system while another person is in the bin.
• Is it fumigant-free? Check for warning placards from the owner of the grain, to make sure there isn't a grain fumigant present in the bin that might harm someone entering.
• Run the bin aeration fans. If entry is made by a farmer or rescuer, running the air handling system provides a constant flow of fresh air into the confined space.
• Monitor for gas. Some type of portable gas monitoring device accompanying farmers or workers entering a grain bin could detect areas of low oxygen concentration caused by rotting grain.
• Trust your instincts. If something doesn't look right or feel right about entering a bin, think and plan the procedure. Do not be complacent.
Complete burial in grain often ends in fatality. Hoffman says that there are three factors that affect the chances of surviving full engulfment in a bin.
"The longer the victim is buried in the grain, the less chance of survival they have," he says. "Secondly, depth of burial affects the time the rescuers need to locate, expose and treat the victim prior to his complete extrication," he says. "The final issue is training and preparation by the rescuing entity prior to the incident."
Rescue workers like Hoffman want happy endings. "I can still hear the voice of the victim buried to his head level as he pleaded with us to get him out of the grain," Hoffman says. But he made it out alive.
"We all rode an emotional high, because we were successful," says Hoffman.
But almost as often, especially if the victim is alone and completely buried for a period of time, the ending is tragic. Hoffman says, "In the second case, we were all emotionally and physically drained when we arrived at the hospital, only to have our friend, family member and patient declared clinically dead."
GRAIN BIN CAUTION: All appears peaceful around this grain bin in the late-afternoon sun, but that belies the dangers for Nebraska farmers posed by the stored grain inside the bin. It was a bad year for grain bin entrapments across the country in 2009.

Man Held in Grand Forks Jail Accused in Minot MurderPolice said Friday that they arrested a man who they believe fatally shot the mother of his child in a Minot apartment earlier this year, but that they're still investigating the killing of her brother, mother and mother's boyfriend.
By: Blake Nicholson, Associated Press
(AP) — Police said Friday that they arrested a man who they believe fatally shot the mother of his child in a Minot apartment earlier this year, but that they're still investigating the killing of her brother, mother and mother's boyfriend.
Omar Kalmio was arrested on a murder charge in the January slaying of 19-year-old Sabrina Zephier, Police Capt. Dan Strandberg said. Their infant daughter was found alive in the apartment where Zephier's body was found.
Zephier's mother, Jolene, 38; brother, Dillon, 13; and Jeremy Longie, 22, the mother's boyfriend, were found slain in a nearby mobile home the same day. Kalmio is not an official suspect in those killings, but police are still investigating them, Strandberg said.
The Zephiers were members of South Dakota's Yankton Sioux Tribe.
Kalmio, who is Somali, was arrested at the Grand Forks County jail, where he has been held since early February on an unrelated immigration charge. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney. He previously spoke with The Associated Press by telephone from the jail, but he did not immediately respond to a request left Friday seeking comment about the murder charge.
Witnesses say they heard Kalmio describe details of injuries to Zephier that had not been publicly released, according to police.
Kalmio, who was 26 years old in February, was convicted in 2006 of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and sentenced to about a year in prison. Kalmio and a group of other Somali men attacked a man in Minneapolis in January 2006, and Kalmio stabbed him three times in the back with a knife, according to a criminal complaint in the case. He was jailed in February for allegedly violating the terms of his release in that case. Kalmio also was convicted of theft that year.
Strandberg said this summer's flooding in Minot may have delayed Kalmio's arrest in the slaying because police had to divert their efforts elsewhere.

Now If Only The Homegirls Would Step Up
It goes without saying, but we'll say it again: Good hip-hop abounds in Salt Lake City. 2007 releases by MindState, Sinthesis and DeadBeats emphasize intelligent lyrics, experimental beats and production value that's nothing to fuck with. Even Ogden producer Linus released an instrumental album whose slick beats and samples burgeoning emcees should downright salivate over. Before, the idea of a Utah rap scene was cute—any amateur could be revered as revolutionary. But, for the first time, we can discern between quality—and sucka—emcees. Let the hate mail roll in! (RB)
He Had a Point About Pain, But ...
Don't get me wrong: I would "do" my iPod if it were physically possible (here's to futuristic technology), but it would be just a dirty affair. In the back of my mind, I wouldn't be able to shake the image of my loyal CDs waiting for me to come home. Despite some revolutionary breakthroughs in digital music (Radiohead much?), Salt Lake City's Slowtrain has reported an "increase" in album-sales over the past year. There's no doubt that digital music is the future, but you don't need to watch High Fidelity to know that local record stores are microcosms of the musical community and genuine interest (plus, CDs are still better quality than anything you buy on iTunes). The CD is not dead yet, no matter what Trent Reznor says. (RB)
Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out
Ah, the great psychedelic rock & roll of the 1960s. It never gets old, does it? In case you're searching for a slightly new spin on a vintage sound that keeps on giving, consider listening to Blue Sunshine Soul. BSS's bluesy vocals, Stones-inspired guitar hooks and sweeping crescendos will inspire an MP3 downloading spree—all of the band's music is available online, free of charge. Now that's free love, 21st-century style. (JP)
Back from the Grave
Oh, the bitter tears I cried when local ambient/experimental group Ether disbanded, putting an end to multimedia performances replete with fire breathers and film projectors. In late 2007, I momentarily dried those bitter tears because a ghostly version of Ether came back from the grave and started performing again. For a minute. Rumor has it more Ether shows and possibly a new Ether album are in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for phantoms. (JP)
Where We're Going, We Don't Need Roads
Running an all-ages music venue requires boundless energy, business sense and an exhaustive knowledge of music. When Kilby Court founder Phil Sherburne decided his tenure had come to an end, he knew that Lance Saunders and Will Sartain were the only people in town up to the challenge. So far, Kilby's future appears bright, with plenty of local acts and touring luminaries such as Brother Ali, Beach House and Helio Sequence slated to take the stage in 2008. (JP)
David Lynch Would Be Proud
There's nothing quite like being bathed in unrelenting noise while surrounded by books with titles like Raw Deal: Horrible Ironic Stories. Red Light Books—a bookstore that specializes in informative fringe reading—has become the home of a record label (Red Light Sound), the epicenter of Salt Lake City's burgeoning noise scene, and an event space that hosts innovative underground touring bands. Now, all the place needs is Michael J. Anderson talking backwards. (JP)

It's amazing that in 2014 we're still talking about harassment, but it's still causing massive lawsuits and destroying productivity, says "recovering litigator" Jonathan A. Segal. And training managers and supervisors is still the key to preventing it.

Harassment Still a Major Worry? You Betcha.
What conduct constitutes sexual harassment?
"What do you think of when someone refers to sexual harassment? In California, and under federal law, sexual harassment covers a wide variety of behavior–from unwanted sexual attention, to offering favorable treatment in exchange for sex, to sex-related teasing that fundamentally changes the workplace environment, to general hostility directed towards someone because of that person's sex—even if the hostility itself is not of sex-based origin or [sex-]based terms." Nicole Legrottaglie explained in a recent CER webinar.
California sexual harassment training: What's required? Why train?
As a California employer, are you legally obligated to have sexual harassment training? Actually, the answer is yes. AB 1825 requires California employers with 50 or more employees to conduct sexual harassment prevention training every two years. It's also just good business sense, since employers can be held liable for employee actions.

John Carpenter, an infrequent rock concertgoer from Windsor, was simultaneously excited and dumbfounded after he searched for, and found, two tickets online to a J. Geils Band concert at Mohegan Sun the day before the Sept. 16 show.
"The J. Geils Band," he says, "is one of the few bands on my 'bucket list.'"
Carpenter paid $157 for two tickets, prime floor-level seats, at Official-Online-Tickets.com. The actual path of the tickets — is there a GPS available? — is uncertain , but they landed at Ticketworld, a longtime Hartford ticket reseller, then finally posted for sale at Official-Online-Tickets.com, another reseller. That adds up to a lot of service fees for the $35 face-value tickets and some serious confusion.
Ticketworld remained the ticket holder, but Carpenter never understood that. He thought they originated at Mohegan Sun, the concert site. Somewhere, Carpenter musta got lost, because he never received the tickets even though he went to Mohegan Sun expecting to pick them up.
Ticketworld, in fact, had someone waiting nearby Mohegan Sun with the tickets, yet buyer and seller never connected. Carpenter blames Ticketworld and wants a refund, even while admitting to some "errors and assumptions." Ticketworld says Carpenter ignored its instructions on where and when to meet.
"He called the Monday after the concert," says Ticketworld owner Rod Cardwell, "and claimed he didn't know he was buying them from a different entity and he thought he was purchasing them directly from Mohegan Sun. He made those assumptions, for whatever reasons I don't know."
The day of the concert, says Carpenter, he called Official-Online-Tickets.com and was told to pick up the tickets later at the Mohegan Sun's Arena Club. Both Official-Online-Tickets.com and Cardwell have since told him that could not have happened because neither is affiliated with the casino.
"If he called Mohegan Sun and asked where their customers pick up their tickets," says Cardwell, "maybe they gave him that information. But he certainly didn't call our company or TicketNetwork's company and get that information."
Carpenter says he emailed Ticketworld asking how to get the tickets. He called, too, only to hear a voice recording saying the office was closed. But Cardwell says, after checking the email records, that his company responded to the 1:04 p.m. email at 1:11 p.m.
"So within seven minutes after he emailed saying he didn't get the information, he had the information," he says. "He never responded to that email."
Carpenter says he deleted the email without opening it because Ticketworld was not identified as the source. "I thought it was a spam message," he says, "or a message containing a virus."
Instead, it was from a Ticketworld customer representative, a name Carpenter now says he should have recognized. He later found out that Ticketworld also had left a message with on his home answering machine requesting a return call, but no number, so he says he could not return the call.
Carpenter provided The Bottom Line a copy of the original purchase-confirmation email from Official-Online-Tickets.com that identified Ticketworld as the ticket seller.
"I thought when I purchased the tickets that I was dealing directly with Mohegan Sun," says Carpenter. "But as soon as I read the part that said, 'These tickets will be picked up a secure location near, though not at, the venue of the event,' I knew that this was not the case."
So now Carpenter and a friend have arrived at Mohegan Sun, not knowing their tickets' location or, possibly, their quality. They were Section 1, Row L, on the floor.
"You have only two ways of getting those for the J. Geils show," says Cardwell. "You have to be a high-roller at the Mohegan Sun and you would typically lose thousands of dollars a year or you would buy them from the J. Geils fan club, where they were over $100 a ticket. He got a tremendous deal."
But not the seats. Carpenter and his friend bought two lesser extras for $10 each from another concertgoer. "The upper level," says Carpenter, "toward the back."
Cardwell still has the original floor-seat tickets, and a little advice for Carpenter and other online-ticket buyers: The web is filled with ticket sellers, but there's only one ticket holder.
"In the future," Cardwell says, "if he ever wanted anything, we would gladly work with him and give him a better deal, maybe save him the service fee. In terms of the event, he purchased the tickets, we had a representative there to meet him and he chose not to pick them up."

Well going into my second week and for four nights straight, I've been sleeping for seven hours without waking up at all! I always thought I was a light sleeper, I ALWAYS wake up at lease twice during the night...sometimes I can't go back sleep, always tired, dark circles under my eyes, crabby..but not lately..
I don't know if it's the weight training, cardio, vitamins, Myoplex, all the water or the quality of food, but I am sleeping like a baby! Now I know why people run those 5k's and are addicted to exercise! The benefits are outstanding!
Greetings Angelpants, I would have to say from this and past challenges (C1,C2, C3 for me) that it is a combination of all of the elements of the training and eating correctly that help with the restful sleep (provided you give yourself the time recommended to get in the sleep time which has been a priority of mine this time around because it gives better gains and losses in your efforts). Keep up the good work and Keep MOving Forward as you have and I am sure even better results will occur for ya. Thanks for bringing this up to everyone on the site.
Howdy WPBill! Roll Tide! I also noticed last night at my second part-time job at Cracker Barrel that I was so hyper and bouncing off the walls LOL! I guess it's all the vitamins and the stuff in the Myoplex, plus sleep!! I was more hyper than when I took diet pills last summer haha!
Feeling GREAT! Lost six pounds since June 10TH! It's all good from here on out! Take care WPBill..see you on the other side! We got this!!
What awesome news, Angelpants! Sleeping more is definitely a benefit to look forward to! Sounds like the BFL program is doing wonders for you! You are definitely motivating me and I wish I was on day 10 with you. Your pound loss is awesome and your excitement is contagious! Bravo to you! I am looking forward to hearing more!
awww thanks kermienme! I am definitely "feeling" better..not actually "seeing" the big results yet, well I can see a small difference in my tummy, but gee! The energetic feeling and having tons of energy is worth it all! I am working really hard on my workouts..going exactly by the book..looking every day at the success stories...all the people before me that have been successful and look fantastic...keeps me motivated!
My manager at Cracker Barrel noticed it..called me in the office to tease me about I need to stop bringing everyone down hahaha! he was kidding..I was running around like a teenager...it's gotta be the vitamins lol!
I'm glad I can motivate someone else...I see a lot of negative on this forum...but you know...if you're not positive about this, you'll never get anywhere...I mean my heart goes out to anyone having a hard time with this...so far , it's been pretty easy for me..I try not to over-think it..act like this is how I roll..this is what I do hahahaha! I just trust in it and I'm making good food choices, exercising...(like I should be doing anyway)..and just feeling good! I'm never hungry..I don't suffer cravings as much as some people are unfortunately experiencing..but also, I'm an extremely busy person with a whole lot more on my mind that the Challenge..I do website development, crafts and I work two jobs...so no time to think about food...so that may be what helps me not over-think this whole thing..I just do what I'm supposed to do..working out..eating right and I trust, everything will just fall into place!
Much love BFL Family...keep believing! It works!
Angelpants! Bravo! I believe that you and we will all be astounded at the result of your first challenge! You have the right mindset and as was written in the BFL book that if you believe it you will definitely achieve it! I hope you are keeping a journal of your journey. I can see you becoming a life and motivator coach. I have a lot of admiration for you with all of the responsibilities you have and the desire within to add BFL to your extremely busy schedule. You have a lot to share and learn from. I enjoy your positive attitude and the excitement you are bringing to this new lifestyle. Am looking forward to beginning once I get clearance from surgery! Thanks for shaing. Kudos!
awww thanks kermienme! I can't wait for you to get clearance, wish we could have followed each other along, but you are in love with BFL or you wouldn't be posting on the forum! I really believe this is the best program out there!
I was thinking about this this morning...No one builds a house in one day..it takes time..so I look at my body like a house..I'm building it up one step at a time..building my best body..every day..building on what I did yesterday! It takes time, but in the end...its going to be the best body I've ever had! I think it's easy to get impatient if you have unrealistic expectations of results..it took time to get where you are..going to take time to build your best body, but it WILL happen...how could it not if you're doing what you're supposed to be doing?
Thank you Kermienme! I wish I could write as eloquently as you..it's like poetry, mine is like ghetto slang hahahahaha!
Much love, angela
Lol! Angela, did you read the paragraph that you just wrote about building a house? That is definitely poetry in motion! Would not categorize that as ghetto at all! I hope you write those inspiring sentences in your journal. I will keep them in my mind when I begin my own house building. After all, our body is our temple! I agree, i do like the concept and challenge of BFL. I believe BFL will be the right ingredient's for my weight loss and temple building! I can't tell you how disappointed I was to have had the gallbladder attack last Monday and then surgery. I was so prepared to begin with you and the the June 10 crew! Also, what really got to me was both the anesthesiologist and surgeon kept stressing that with a person of "my size" surgery would be a little bit more challenging. I kept telling them that I was to begin a new program to work on losing the weight that very same morning! So, instead, I am enjoying your journey and thank you for sharing your inspiration. Remember also, that if you should have an off day, you are still very inspiring!
aww Kermienme! I'm so sorry the doctor labeled you like that! So tacky!!! I'm so glad you are ok!
Well..Thank you..I never thought of my words as poetry..I am an optimist though! Can't isn't in my vocabulary lol!!!
I know that when I look at weight charts, I'm categorized as Obese..that's so off-putting! I've always been small until I reached my 40's, then boom went the dynamite LOL! But I feel so hopeful about Body for Life! I finally have some hope to be able to control my weight and look great!
Can't wait to see you post that you've started the Challenge!!!! I'll be cheering you on!!
Much love**
Greetings Angelpants and Kermienme, Please remember that a lot of those so called "weight versus Height " charts were based on the Met Life Charts from the 1950's when the science of body analysis was young and somewhat flawed. The study itself they are based on has come under fire many times but yet they still persist. I know this because I actually have a calorie counter book from the late 60's /70's and they state the charts, that are basicaly the same today even with BMI ,are based on that study and those charts so don't be disheartened by that classification but rather use them as a rather basic but flawed guidline until the medical community realizes that they are not in tune with the current muscle density that many folks have after working out a while (Arnold would have been obese under those charts by the way, so would have Lou Ferrigno for that matter). Hope this helps out. Keep Moving Forward.....WPBILL
It's disheartening to see so many people begin this program, and as challenges go on, you start to see fewer and fewer of them post. They begin with the drive that's necessary, but for whatever reason, they surrender to the pressures that society places on us, and return to their old ways. Yet, as you said Angela, this program does work. I don't know if so many people get discouraged because after 5 weeks, they don't look anything like the "After" pictures of those people in the BFL books. I admit, I would love to look like a lot of those people, but I've never thought I could achieve that in a single challenge, with the weight I began my journey. Now, here I am in the 12th week of my 2nd challenge, and I'm beginning to see the body I want to see. It's taken me 24 hard weeks, and I'm not at my ultimate goal yet, but I'm beginning to be very happy with the results I've achieved. As so many people have mentioned on this forum, this is not a sprint...it's a marathon.
People need to realize that there will be setbacks at times. There will be times when you experience the worst luck in the world to get in the way of your transformation. That may be getting hospitalized yourself, having someone close to you pass away; having to have emergency surgery; (all things I've read on this forum over the past 6 months), but it doesn't mean your journey has to end. Recover and persevere. No one said it would be easy. But I don't think it's hard either. Do you get to enjoy eating all the things that got you into the terrible shape to begin with? One day a week you do! Better than a lot of other fad diets! However, as I explained to my wife today, life could be worse. Cows only get to enjoy grass everyday of their life. What's their variety, brown grass compared to green grass? We at least get a choice of healthy foods with this program. Find recipes you enjoy. They're out their. I really don't like chicken a whole bunch, but I've actually found some ways to prepare chicken that makes it enjoyable. Oatmeal isn't always flavorful, but it's an awesome carb for your body! Think about your health, not your pleasure! Your pleasure comes from your results!
Eating is by far the hardest part of this program. The workouts are hard at first, but become very routine. Yes, you make them challenging, and yes, you have days when you really don't want to go to the gym, but you do it anyway. Don't fall for the "if I miss one day, it won't hurt me any". If that's what your conscience is telling you, you need to respond with, "It won't help you to miss either!" But the most difficult part of this program is the eating. Not necessarily what you eat, but also, how often you eat. All I can say is PLAN!!! I think that's a major contributor to where people fall of the wagon back into their old ways. If you're not prepared for the unexpected, you're going to FAIL!!! I've learned this lesson the hard way, many times. One lesson I've learned in life...if you're going to the mall with your significant other, bring nutrition bars, Myoplex, apples and almonds, a cooler with chicken and rice, and whatever you may fancy, because you don't know when you'll be home to eat your next meal! This was actually a goal of mine this challenge, because I've struggled with it so many times in past challenges. And I'm happy to say that I've never missed a meal because my wife wasn't finished shopping! :)
Okay, I've rambled enough. I could go on and on for days about things people need to overcome to be successful. Bottom line, this program works! You get what you put into it. If you want to put in half the energy that it requires, expect to get half the results.

Minfulness Bell Sangha DIRECTORY Needs Upgrading!
Xin vui lòng giúp điền vào cuộc khảo sát của 15 tháng 3
Dear Sangha friends,
Over the past decade, the Mindfulness Bell website has included Sangha Directories and a Dharma Teacher Retreat Directory to help friends connect in the practice. As we look to update the directories, we need your help to create tools that best serve Sanghas and practitioners worldwide. We created a survey for practitioners to share needs, insights, and ideas, which we hope to then reflect in the new directories' design. With the collective Sangha wisdom, we aspire to redesign the directories and maximize their benefit. The current directories and retreats lists can be found at www.mindfulnessbell.org or www.iamhome.org.
Please take a few minutes to share your reflections by answering the survey before March 15.
Thank you.
A lotus for you,
Brandy Sacks, Leslie Rawls, and Avi Magidoff

BDA yet to recover rental dues worth Rs 15crNov 21, 2012, 12:52PM IST
Featured Today
Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has to recover rental dues worth Rs 15.25 crore from shops and office spaces it had leased out in its 15 shopping complexes in the city. This is the information that an RTI activist's queries revealed. The activist also said the agency is seeking to build mall-like castles in the air, notwithstanding its financial mismanagement.
On 20th November, activist BM Shivakumar released to the media copies of documents he had obtained through RTI. "Though its record in managing its shopping complexes is dismal, the BDA is nurturing ambitions to build four big market complexes at Jayanagar Market, Malleswaram, Seshadripuram and KR Puram Santhe Maidana," the activist said.
There are 774 shops and office spaces in BDA's 15 commercial complexes in the city. "There are some tenants who have not paid rents for seven consecutive years now," Shivakumar added.
He also produced a copy of a letter written to the urban development department by former BDA commissioner Bharat Lal Meena, where the bureaucrat has painted the sorry state of the agency's financial affairs. The letter urges the government to have the BBMP pay up BDA Rs 499 crore spent by the authority for various civic projects.
The letter apparently says the BDA had repaid Rs 25 crore with interest for repaying the Rs 17.8 crore loan it had raised from the French government. The loan was secured for a metropolitan spatial data project. Disclosing that BDA has decided to raise Rs 3,000 crore as loan from various sources to complete its projects, the letter states that the BDA's revenue inflows are diminishing and it also has develop civic amenities in new layouts.
Shivakumar said the BDA plan to re-model the markets into mall like structures would only push up the rentals and make it impossible for existing vendors to afford the new commercial spaces.

S. 3334-INTRODUaTION OF Bll.,L INCREASING
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, In
Lhc pasL 10 years the Montana congressional
delegation has been plagued with
an annual problem for whlch no reasonable
solution has been developed. I refer
to the continual and, in some instances,
increa.~ing shortage of boxcars on the
V.'estctn railroad lines.
This is a very serious matter to States
like ::1-Iontana where so many farmers
and elevator operators are dependent
upon an adequate source of boxC11.rs to
ship their wheat to the expo1t market on
the west coe~t.
Today Montana ranchers are buying
large, expensive trucks tx> transport grain
to water outlets on the Columbia River
for transport to the coast. This situation
has been compounded by our expanded
export of grain. Despite the annual discussion
on how best to facilitate a return
of boxcars to owner lines, very little effective
action has been taken by the Interstate
Commerce Commission or the
This year the car shortage on the
Great Northern Railroad line has
reached ridiculous proportions. Recently,
there was a Montana request for
3,500 cars and they were receiving something
on the order of 10 or 15 per day.
Fortunately, this year the situation has
not been as bad on the Northern Pacific
line, which also crosses the State of
Montana. This docs not mean, however,
that it will not happen in the future. To
date, there has been no effective means
of convincing the eastern railroad lines
that they should return the cars to the
owners as expeditiously as possible.
To date, the ICC has been hesitant to
issue stmng orders establishing incentive
charges and Increased penalties.
I have joined with a number of my colleagues
here in the Senate in cosponsoring
S. 3223 to give the ICC additional
authority to handle the situation. The
proposed bill would authorize an increase
in the incentive per diem and penalties.
The congressional interest in this pmposal
seems to have generated little activity
at the agency level.
I believe that we must impress upon
the railroads and the Commission the
seriousness of this situation. I w111, therefore,
send to the desk a bill whlch would
set per diem rates at $100 minlmum and
an increase of penalty charges from
$1,000 and up to $10,000. These provisions
seems to be severe, and they are
meant to be so. The boxcar shortage
should not be allowed to disrupt the industry
each year, as has been the case
as far as Montana is concerned, over the
past two decades. Recently, it has been
so on an almost continual basis. Hopefully,
this latest proposal w111 give notice
to all parties that the boxcar shortage
in the West will not be permitted any
longer. There are solutions and Congress
and the Interstate Commerce Commission
must act to provide the necessary
Mr. President, I send to the desk e. bill
to amend the Interstate Commerce Act
A> increase daily hire rates for use of
~ertain freight cars, and for other purposes,
and I ask that the bill be referred
to the Committee on Commerce.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill
will be received and referred to the Committee
on Commerce.

I have been working at Media General full-time for more than a year
Pros – The compensation is decent, the co workers are great, and they have excellent on the job training.
Cons – It starts with the interview process for the Classified Department. The 2 managers that are in charge make you think that you will be treated like an adult professional. Then when you start they micromanage you to death. When you try to approach them about this they say it's our way or the highway. Not a professional way to handle your employees concerns. Combine that with the fact that if you do manage to stick it out you go nowhere in the company.
Advice to Senior Management – Dump the mid level managers that have been in the same position for more than 10 years and bring in people that have a fresh perspective and some empathy for their workforce.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pedrosa sets the pace in Motegi
The MotoGP championship got underway at the AirAsia Grand Prix of Japan, where it was Repsol Honda Team's Dani Pedrosa who went quickest on the first day.
Pedrosa's time in the low 1.46s set in sunny and dry conditions was sufficient to relegate Yamaha Factory Racing's Jorge Lorenzo into second, who posted his best time on the hard rear tyre, despite stating that he preferred the softer option he tried out before. Pedrosa's top time came late on in the session after a quick adjustment to the front end of his bike, after having briefly run into the gravel earlier in practice. Third place went to Monster Yamaha Tech 3's Andrea Dovizioso, after the Italian upped his pace towards the end of practice, showing strong consistency throughout both sessions.
LCR Honda MotoGP's Stefan Bradl set the fourth fastest time of the day despite a short run off track in the afternoon, with the German keen to make amends for his DNF last time out in Aragón. In fifth was Ducati Team's Valentino Rossi, who jumped up the timesheets with an unexpected hot-lap towards the end, leaving him just half a second off the top. Behind him in sixth, Yamaha's Ben Spies will be looking to improve for tomorrow's qualifying, being almost eight tenths down on his teammate with the hard tyre.
Seventh spot is occupied by Repsol Honda's Casey Stoner, who looked strong on his first day back from injury, despite pitting frequently to dial in his bike's set-up. He had a less than ideal start in the morning, as his number one bike stopped with a technical issue just two corners into his out-lap. San Carlo Honda Gresini's Álvaro Bautista finished the day in eighth, and will aim to jump further up the order tomorrow as he continues to work on his Showa suspension, which continues to cause his front tyre to jump heavily under braking. In ninth, Tech 3's Cal Crutchlow had a subdued session for his standards, while Ducati's Nicky Hayden completes the top ten, with the American doing well to ride with a fractured right radius.
Top CRT spot went to Power Electronics Aspar's Aleix Espargaró, who did well to overcome a crash in the morning session. His teammate Randy de Puniet crashed out of the afternoon practice early on, but was able to re-join on his second bike, albeit with a contusion to his left knee. Other riders that crashed out were Cardion AB Racing's Karel Abraham and Avintia Blusens' Yonny Hernández.
Team CatalunyaCaixa Repsol's Marc Márquez put in a terrific performance in the second Moto2TM free practice at the AirAsia Grand Prix of Japan in Motegi to set the fastest time of the day ahead of Bradley Smith and Scott Redding.
Márquez left it until the chequered flag came out to post a new track record with a 1.51'834, which put Tech 3 Racing's Smith back to second, after the Brit had broken the record earlier in the session. Smith spent much of practice on the rear wheel of Tuenti Movil HP 40's Pol Espargaró, benefiting from the slipstream down the straights - with top speed an area known to be a problem on the Brit's Mistral 610 machine. Hit was however a day of two halves, after crashing heavily in the morning session and sitting it out with concussion. Marc VDS Racing Team's Scott Redding consolidated his earlier form from the morning by once again putting in a good showing to complete the top three.
Espargaró's teammate Esteve Rabat, who had led the morning practice, did not improve on his time and finished fourth overall in front of Espargaró, who at times looked frustrated with Smith. He could not place his Kalex higher than fifth, yet managed to keep Interwetten-Paddock's Tom Lüthi at bay in sixth, with the Swiss rider improving drastically from the morning, where he suffered a low-side. Mapfre Aspar Team Moto2's Nico Terol had a good day at the Japanese track and ended the sessions closely behind in seventh. Italtrans Racing Team's Takaaki Nakagami, who had a crash in the morning, did well to recover and place his bike in eighth overall, with Blusens Avintia's Julián Simón and Redding's teammate Mika Kallio completing the top ten.
In the free practice sessions in the Moto3TM class at the AirAsia Grand Prix of Japan in Motegi it was Red Bull KTM Ajo's Sandro Cortese who topped the timesheets in the afternoon ahead of Maverick Viñales and Zulfahmi Khairuddin.
Cortese, who could mathematically clinch the Moto3TM world title this weekend, was on scorching pace in the second free practice session, setting a time of 1.59'448, over three tenths quicker than his Blusens Avintia rival Maverick Viñales. Viñales suffered a crash 13 minutes before the end, leaving him unable to improve his time in the final part of the session. AirAsia-SIC-Ajo's Zulfahmi Khairuddin was once again on good form as he completed the top three just fractionally off the Spaniard.
Team Italia FMI's Romano Fenati continued to learn the track at record speed as his fastest time placed him fourth, although he also suffered a crash towards the end of the day. Not having lost any confidence after his morning practice crash, Racing Team Germany's Louis Rossi stormed to the fifth place, ahead of RW Racing GP's Luis Salom, who is still receiving pain-killing injections in his shoulder after his Aragón crash two weeks ago.
Mapfre Aspar Team Moto3's Jonas Folger, who was fastest in the morning, could not repeat his feat and finished seventh overall. Estrella Galicia 0,0's Miguel Oliveira posted the eighth quickest time just under eight tenths off the top, ousting Cortese's teammate Danny Kent into ninth, ahead of Fenati's teammate Alessandro Tonucci.
San Carlo Gresini Moto3's Niccolò Antonelli was an early crasher in the second practice, and was joined on the list by TT Motion Events Racing's Niklas Ajo and Salom's teammate Brad Binder, who both crashed in the final stages of practice.
Speed Master's Andrea Iannone looked off-colour almost all day, and crashed early in the second practice, managing to head back out for the finale few minutes, while Came IodaRacing Project's Simone Corsi suffered a similar situation shortly after. Espargaró's teammate Axel Pons also fell towards the end of the afternoon session.

Heisenberg's instinct was accurate
Scientists develop mathematical proof of quantum physics feature
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg reasoned that scientists couldn't take a measurement of a physical object without changing it in some way. The idea, which has persisted in physics, was based on intuition and has implications for quantum cryptography.
Now, Paul Busch of the University of York and his colleagues have developed a more precise mathematical description of Heisenberg's idea, which laid out a reciprocal relationship between the accuracy of a position measurement of an object and the associated disturbance in the object's momentum.
The scientists offer the proof, published October 17 in Physical Review Letters, as a counter to experiments described in 2012 that found fault with Heisenberg's idea.

HOUSEHOLDS and businesses will feel it deeper in the hip-pocket from tomorrow as electricity, gas, water, council rates and other bills set to increase with the start of the carbon tax and other financial-year changes.
Electricity costs will be the biggest shock. Domestic bills will increase an average of 18 per cent - about half of which has been blamed on the carbon tax - while regulated gas prices will climb between nine and 15 per cent.
But on the eve of the start of its pollution pricing regime, the federal government said most low and middle-income families would be better off under the carbon tax through its household assistance package that includes a boost in welfare payments and tax cuts.
To read The Herald's opinion, click here.
The scheme, which begins tomorrow, will charge the nation's biggest polluters including mines and power stations $23 per tonne of carbon emitted, in an effort to cut the nation's greenhouse gas emissions by 159 million tonnes in 2020.
Households do not have to pay the tax, but their average costs would rise by $9.90 a week including $3.30 on electricity, $1.50 on gas and less than $1 on food, for which they would be compensated by the government.
"I am convinced that it's the right thing for the country," Federal Climate Change minister and Charlton MP Greg Combet said of the new carbon pricing system.
Opposition leader Tony Abbott pledged yesterday that the Coalition would repeal the tax should it win office, with the opposition arguing it will cost regions like the Hunter thousands of jobs.
The state-owned Macquarie Generation, which operates the Upper Hunter's Liddell and Bayswater power station, expects to be among the hardest hit by the tax, which would cost it about $530 million in the first year.
Also among the 294 entities to be charged are Cessnock, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Newcastle City Councils, who will be liable in a year's time for emissions from their landfill sites and expect to pay millions.
Hunter residents and businesses are already facing council rate increases from tomorrow. Those in Lake Macquarie and Newcastle will need the deepest pockets, after their councils received approval to increase rates above a cap of 3.6 per cent.
Rates bills in Newcastle will be $81 dearer on average in 2012-13. Lake Macquarie residents will pay $93 more.
Other cost increases including taxi fares, which are expected to rise by 3.2 per cent when n overdue final pricing decision is handed down, as well as childcare costs and Hunter Water bills, which will increase by about $40.
would rise by $9.90 a week including $3.30 on electricity, $1.50 on gas and less than $1 on food, for which they would receive government compensation.
Federal Climate Change minister and Charlton MP Greg Combet said the new carbon pricing system was ''the right thing for the country''.
''It will be environmentally effective, it's economically responsible, thinks about future generations, plays our fair part in the international community tackling climate change and it's socially fair,'' he said yesterday.
Opposition leader Tony Abbott pledged the Coalition would immediately repeal the tax should it win office, with the opposition arguing it would cost regions like the Hunter thousands of jobs.
''I assure the Australian people that what the parliament has done the parliament can undo,'' Mr Abbott said.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who gave an election promise not to introduce a carbon tax, has urged voters to make up their own minds.
Ms Gillard acknowledged in an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald that the politics surrounding the reform had been tough for Labor, but she forecast the politics would change.
''People will know we're living with a price on carbon, they'll know what its effects are, they'll know that we're making a journey towards a cleaner energy future because you will see cleaner sources of energy coming on stream,'' she said.
''People will judge from those kind of facts. I don't think the politics in the lead-up will be what people ultimately judge [us] on.''

Jay Bilas: 'Arizona's got all the pieces necessary to make a run'
The Wildcats have started the season with nine straight wins, including a come-from-behind victory over then-No. 5 Florida.
Bilas said that was the type of win where a team grows up a little bit because they rallied late after trailing for basically the entire game.
"To hang in there and find a way to win, that's the sign of a good team, and Arizona's a really good team that is going to keep getting better and have a chance at the end of the year to do something special in a year where there's probably not a great team out there," Bilas told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Wednesday.
Indeed the Wildcats, who are ranked fourth in the Associated Press Poll and fifth in the USA Today Coaches Poll, are looked at as one of the country's better teams. They appear to have the requisite size and depth to make a deep NCAA Tournament run, but what may set them apart is the leadership they receive from seniors like Mark Lyons, Solomon Hill and Kevin Parrom.
"I think Arizona's got all the pieces necessary to make a run later on in the season," Bilas said. "Looking nationally with the teams they're going to have to play and compete against once you get to the NCAA Tournament, I think this is one of those years where nobody's great and if you are healthy and playing well at the end of the year you're going to have a chance."

Bilas reacts to Arizona's win over the number 5 ranked team in the country. Bilas gives his take on the potential of the U of A two big freshman. Bilas previews what to expect in this years NBA draft and if there is a new norm in college basketball.
If that's the case, a deep and talented team like Arizona -- which still has plenty of room to improve -- could find itself in the conversation when people are discussing Final Four contenders.

Speech Pathology
Speech and Hearing Program
Speech Pathology
The Speech Pathology staff at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) is trained and licensed to treat patients with a broad range of communication and/or swallowing impairments that result from a disability, surgery or developmental disorder.
Diagnostic Evaluations and Therapeutic Interventions
Experienced, licensed speech-language pathologists provide diagnostic evaluations for all ages (infants through geriatrics) with regard to difficulties with:
- speech/articulation
- expressive or receptive language
- voice
- fluency
- feeding/swallowing
Therapeutic intervention is then implemented at our outpatient facility based on the evaluation results.
Modified Barium Swallow Study with Video Fluoroscopy
A Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBSS) is a diagnostic test for patients with swallowing disorders. This test is performed by a Speech Pathologist and Radiologist. This test is used to determine the degree of swallowing difficulties a person has, and allows the Speech Pathologist to recommend an appropriate and safe diet, and compensatory or therapeutic strategies. Therapeutic intervention is then implemented at our outpatient facility based on the evaluation results.
Speech Pathology Programs
Our speech-language pathology staff is continuously developing and expanding programs that are offered to the public, hospital staff and our patients. Following is a sample of what we provide.
Stroke Group
Patients who have been diagnosed with any of the following as a result of Cerebral Vascular Disease (CVA) are eligible to take advantage of this program:
- aphasia
- dysarthria
- apraxia
The group meets monthly in the evenings in a comfortable, private setting.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Clinic
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disease, which affects the muscles involved in speaking and eating/swallowing.
As a member of the ALS multidisciplinary team, the speech-language pathologist provides feeding/swallowing and communication evaluations.
Strategies to compensate for speech and/or swallowing difficulties are provided. The ALS clinic is held twice monthly.
Lee Silverman Voice Treatment
Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) is a type of therapy designed to treat voice and/or speech problems in patients with Parkinson's Disease and other neurological disorders.
Members of our speech pathology department are trained and certified to administer this type of treatment.
Vital Stim Therapy
Vital Stim Therapy is a non-invasive therapy that uses electrical current to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing while the speech pathologists help the patient to "re-educate" the muscles with specific exercises.

Have you seen this El Oso Blanco shirt? http://teespring.com/gattisfacts
The legend of the Braves' Evan Gattis reaches Chuck Norris levels
With 10 home runs in his first 37 major league games, Evan Gattis has been one of the season's big surprises. The 26-year-old rookie filled in admirably for Brian McCann while the latter missed the Braves' first 30 games due to a slow comeback from shoulder surgery, and he has continued to produce in a bench role. He's homered three times in the last four games, twice as a pinch-hitter. Wednesday's homer came as a starting catcher; swinging on a 3-0 pitch, his grand slam off the Twins' Vance Worley broke the game open:
Gattis is now hitting .256/.308/.587, making up for his lack of plate discipline (a 32/8 strikeout-to-walk ratio) with tremendous power. As noted previously, the 26-year-old Texan took a roundabout route to the majors, graduating high school in 2004 but taking time off to deal with personal issues and bouncing around the country as a cook, a valet and a ski-lift operator before being drafted by the Braves in 2010.
Or so we've been told. As it turns out, there's more to "The Legend of El Oso Blanco."
That clip was put together by Rob Jenners, a production director at 680 The Fan, the Braves' flagship radio station. In the tradition of Chuck Norris and Matt Wieters, some fanciful facts have been used to craft his legend:
@GattisFacts We here @BravesRadioNet are writing a "Legend of El Oso Blanco" faux documentary using some of our favorite tweets – you rock!—
Rob Jenners (@RobJenners) May 23, 2013
"Raised by wolverines in the mountains of Tibet… in fear of dethroning the game's greatest players, he was hesitant to play professionally… One time in the middle of a game, he ran off the field to thwart an international hostage crisis… he then returned two innings later and hit a walk-off three-run shot to win the game, the kind of thing Yunel Escobar would never have done…"
Whether or not you're a Braves fan, the three-minute clip should bring a few chuckles.
Evan who?
What a great story, MLB you need to be pushing this....
Very well done and hilarious-minus the suicide reference about the trees. How about beg to be chopped down?

Academy Award-winning Visual Effects Supervisor John Knoll presented this week at TED 2008 during the "How Do We Create?" session. BoingBoing.net's Mark Frauenfelder live blogs from the event:
John compared how visual effects were made for movies from the 1950s with contemporary movies. He showed clips from Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and clips from Pirates of the Caribbean.
The process hasn't changed that much. You start off looking at the script, have discussions with director, and decide what needs to be shot using visual effects: anything you can't just go out and shoot, anything that doesn't exist, anything that's too expensive, too dangerous, or just not possible.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea used miniature ships in a studio tank (about 200 ' x 200′, a few feet deep). The last pictures that used this techniques was Tora! Tora! Tora!. The tank method works pretty well but the scale of the water doesn't work well. Droplet size is wrong. For Pirates, Knoll also built a tank, but came up with ways to split in full-size water droplets. Adding full scale water in background really helps.
