The Bioethics Lab at BEI, is the engine behind Bioethics International's work. The lab develops system interventions that drive meaningful improvements in healthcare innovation and delivery. It is staffed with full-time ethicists, data scientists and researchers who help:
- Map ethics concerns about healthcare systems and institutions, focusing on issues that could adversely impact patient and/or global public health
- Develop ethical standards that can be reasonably asked of stakeholders to help remedy ethics concerns
- Measure and benchmark performance of healthcare systems, institutions, and products against ethics and legal standards
- Identify best practices and root causes of inferior practices
- Create knowledge exchange platforms so healthcare executives and institutions can learn how to improve their performance and implement better policies and procedures
- Develop and test reform strategies to help remedy problems in healthcare institutions and systems, so they can better advance patient and global public health.
We are currently focused on five ethical issues related to healthcare innovation and delivery:
If you have a project for the Bioethics Lab at BEI, would like your institution's integrity performance assessed, or would like to come work with us, please contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com

England weaker without Kevin Pietersen: Michael Clarke
Sydney: Australia captain Michael Clarke said yesterday that England will be a weaker team without Kevin Pietersen.
Michael Clarke
Speaking before his departure for the Caribbean, where Australia play two Tests against the West Indies en route to England for the five-Test Ashes series, starting in Cardiff on July 8, Clarke said: "There's a personal side, where I feel for KP because I get on well with him and I'd love to see him back playing for England.
His form has been outstanding. The other side is any team without Pietersen, I don't think is as strong. His statistics speak for themselves.

A New Name - Weekly Briefing
|Written by Patrick Morley
|Monday, November 03 2003 10:02
Today we inaugurate the Weekly Briefing, replacing Just a Thought. Why are we doing this?
The "Presenting" Problem
The "Systemic" Problem
About 42,000,000 of America's 108,000,000 men 15 years of age and older profess to be Christians. 42,000,000 professing Christian men should have changed the world. Why not? Regrettably, only 6,000,000 men—one in seven "professors"—are involved in ongoing discipleship or spiritual formation. The rest were "recruited" but never "trained."
Some statistics don't lie. These statistics give clear evidence that there is a battle for men's souls raging all around us, it is systemic, and we have taken heavy casualties.
For Such a Time as This
We want to equip, encourage, and challenge you as a leader in this Battle for Men's Souls. That's what the Weekly Briefing is all about.
I often dream about how Luther's Reformation resulted in 50% of Europe's churches becoming Protestant in just 40 years. Now that's systemic change! What would happen to America if 50% of our churches "reformed" themselves to disciple men? I pray we will live to see the answer.
Together, this is a battle we can win. We cannot, we must not and, by God's grace, we will not fail.
For the glory of Christ and no other reason,

Augusta's artistic diversity will be evident in the next couple of weeks, with events that spotlight art, pottery, garden arts, contemporary painters and international influences.
Ceramics students at Augusta State University are showing their creations under the tent near the main entrance on Walton Way today and Friday. The annual Mad Potters Show and Sale takes place from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days. While you're on campus, venture over to Washington Hall to check out the artwork by graduating seniors in the Mary S. Byrd Gallery .
THURSDAY NIGHT at the Morris Museum of Art , abstract expressionist painter Laura Spong , whose work represents a personal spiritual quest, and Alex Mabe , professor and clinical psychologist at Georgia Health Sciences University, will be featured in a program called Art as a Window to the Mind: The Art of Finding Yourself. The program will explore the psychological implications behind the artist's painting, with a focus on finding one's identity through the process of creating art.
The event, open to museum members and invited guests, will begin with the lecture and conversation at 6 p.m., followed by a reception at 7 p.m. Call (706) 724-7501 for reservations.
FRIDAY NIGHT, artist Justin Van Leuvan will be at Tire City Potters on 10th Street from 6:30 to 10 p.m. to chat about his exhibit of paintings, not pots. (See gallery owner Shishir Chokshi 's pots next door). Van Leuvan is showing oil paintings from his new series: Peacock, Roots, Windows and Stages. He works in a nonfigurative abstract expressionist style exploring color variations and optical illusion.
The Sacred Heart Garden Festival has added a mid-week event with the Nola Falcone Lecture Series. Landscape architects Mary Palmer Dargan and Hugh Dargan will discuss Timeless Design on Tuesday, and Ryan Gainey will present From the Garden to the Table on Wednesday. The garden festival gets under way with a patrons' preview party and live auction April 28, followed by three days of landscape and garden exhibits and tours of private gardens. For tickets and schedule information, see www.sacredheartgardenfestival.com.
THERE ARE SEVERAL events planned next weekend, beginning with an opening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. April 30 at the Fire House Gallery in Louisville, Ga., for the fourth edition of 20/20 Vision: The Art of Contemporary University Printmaking.
At the Aiken Center for the Arts , Australian pianist Gil Sullivan will perform in a benefit concert April 30. Sponsor tickets cost $75 and include a preview party from 6 to 8 p.m. Concert-only tickets cost $25.
Art by Cynthia Cox will open at the center May 1, with the annual Aiken Artist Guild juried exhibition beginning mid-May.
MAY DAY EVENTS: Former Augustan Christopher Kuhl will open an exhibit at the new Augusta Library on May 1. He will be on hand from 1 to 2 p.m. to talk about his work.
Born in Tacoma, Wash., Kuhl moved to Augusta in 1969 when his father was stationed at Fort Gordon. After graduating from Aquinas High School, he went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts from Notre Dame University and is now based in Marietta, Ga.
A painter and photographer, Kuhl has traveled extensively and draws on his experiences to create works that express the sense of sacredness attached to specific geographic locations ranging from North Africa to South Carolina. He has exhibited in the United States and abroad, including France, Japan, Canada, Spain and the United Arab Emirates.
His work has been commissioned by the New Yorker magazine and Atlantic Monthly , and his cultural writing has been published by Art Papers, Bloomsbury, Horizon and Americas , among others. His exhibit at the Augusta Library is his first in Augusta. He describes the show, Walk-About, as "a collection of paintings on canvas, wood panel and paper from various years -- a sentimental journey to the present."
- The same afternoon, Social Canvas returns to the Morris Museum of Art . Augusta artists will create original artwork inspired by live music from 1 to 4 p.m. Performers will include the Mixed Motionz break-dancing crew and The Favors .
- A May Day celebration featuring art by John Fort and poetry readings by Laurel Blossom and Starkey Flythe will be from 2 to 5 p.m. May 1 at 703 Buncombe St. in Edgefield. Call (803) 637-9802 for more information.
- A pottery expo is being planned for May 28 at the MACK in McCormick, S.C., to celebrate the region's rich history of artisans working in clay. There will be exhibits, demonstrations and a "dig site" for children. Artists interested in participating should visit www.the-mack.org.
ARTISTS ELSEWHERE: Philip Morsberger is showing work at Hampton III Gallery in Taylors, S.C., through May 21. Tom Nakashima is part of a group show titled Ink and Imagery: A Regional Printmaking Invitational, at Blue Spiral Gallery in Asheville, N.C. Both artists are former Morris Eminent Scholars at Augusta State University.

Clean the wheels thoroughly before attempting to polish them. Pull your car into a shaded area and allow the rims to cool completely to prevent brake dust from bonding with the chrome finish. Spray the rims with cool water to wash away any sand, salt, or brake dust and apply wheel cleaner according to the directions on the packaging. Allow the cleaner to remain on the wheel for up to three minutes and gently scrub the rim with a soft bristled brush. Be sure to rinse the chrome finish well to remove cleaner residue and corrosives from hard-to-reach areas of the wheel.
Dry the chrome wheels with a soft cloth to prevent water spots that can make your rims look dirty and old.
Apply a thin layer of chrome wheel polish. Choose a wheel polish that's specially formulated for chrome wheels to achieve maximum shine and protection. While stronger chrome polishing products are available for rust removal, they are not recommended for chrome wheel finishes. Instead opt for a polish that is labeled "all chrome" to polish your chrome wheels. Apply the polish evenly over the entire wheel using a soft sponge or a plush polishing applicator. Pay close attention to nooks and crevices along the rim where corrosives may build up.
Allow the chrome wheel polish to dry to a haze and gently buff it away using a clean, soft, terrycloth towel and gentle pressure. The wheels should sparkle and shine like new after just one application.
Apply sealant or wheel wax to your wheels after you polish them to reduce static and minimize brake dust buildup. Simply apply the sealer, allow it to dry, and use a soft cloth to buff the wheel. This added protection will help make it easier to clean and polish your wheels next time.

Urban Empire Video Game
- genre: Strategy
- developer: Fragment Production
- publisher: Kalypso Media
- platform: PC
Urban Empire is an economic, city-building simulation game. The action of Urban Empire starts in 1820 and takes place over the course of two hundred years. As decades go by, both the technology and geopolitical conditions change, which constantly provides new challenges. In total, we can play throughout five primary historical periods.
In most games of this genre the player is an impersonal manager of a city, or a mayor at best. In Urban Empire, on the other hand, we control an entire family from which the subsequent mayors originate. Starting out, we choose between four families that have unique traits, defects, and philosophies of development.
In the game, we obviously have to fulfill typical responsibilities of a mayor. Therefore, it is necessary to build infrastructure, plan the districts layout, drive the economic growth as well as to ensure our citizens' satisfaction and solve their problems. The technological changes, such as electric trams, antibiotics, or the appearance of electronic games, bring both challenges and opportunities to improve the life of our society.
Apart from traditional tasks connected to managing a city, we also have to engage in political and personal affairs. It is necessary to influence members of the city council and to corrupt or blackmail those who oppose us. Such actions have to be done in secrecy in order to keep our family's name perfectly clean and thus allow our kin to win subsequent elections. The gameplay is enriched by over eight hundred events that require us to making decisions fraught with dire consequences.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake
Even new mothers love cake. Before she went on maternity leave, Good Day's Lauren Przybyl learned some "Cake Magic" from cookbook author Caroline Wright.
Cake Magic! Cake Mix
Makes 4 cups (enough for one 8- or 9-inch Two-layer cake, one 13 x 9-inch sheet cake, One 10-inch Bundt cake, or 24 cupcakes)
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups sugar
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon table salt (see Note)
Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together well to combine. Whisk the mix again before measuring.
Note: It's important to use table salt in the cake mix; other types will eventually settle out of the mix.
Peanut Butter Cake
Makes one 8- or 9-inch two-layer cake (or one 10-inch Bundt cake, one 13 x 9-inch sheet cake, or 24 cupcakes)
Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for greasing the pans
All-purpose flour, for dusting the pans
4 cups dry Cake Magic! Cake Mix (page 142), whisked well before measuring
¾ cup full-fat plain yogurt (preferably not Greek yogurt, see page 126)
½ cup smooth peanut butter
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, or 1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter the bottom and side of the pan(s). Dust with flour to coat, then invert and tap out any excess. (If making cupcakes, use liners instead of greasing and coating the tins.)
Place the cake mix in a large bowl. Whisk together the yogurt, peanut butter and eggs in a small bowl. Add the peanut butter mixture, butter and water to the cake mix and stir until moistened and no lumps remain (be careful not to overmix). Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
Bake until the layers are domed and a few moist crumbs cling to a skewer inserted in the center of the cake, 32 to 36 minutes (40 to 50 minutes for a Bundt, 25 to 35 minutes for a 13 by 9-inch cake, and 20 to 25 minutes for cupcakes). (At this point, coat the layers with syrup and let them cool completely in the pans.)

Two Sides to the Valley
The Pa. Legislature Must Take Immediate, Sustainable Action to Resolve the Pension Crisis
By Michelle G. Young, Executive Vice President, Government and External Affairs | Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce
It is difficult to be optimistic about our state's finances when $2.6 billion of Pennsylvania's $31 billion budget this year is dedicated to state-pension obligations – not even making a dent in our total owed.
How about revenue?
The total collections are about 2.5 percent lower than they should be. In November, the state came in at almost $80 million lower than budgeted.
We are facing an unfunded pension liability of approximately $60 billion.
How quickly will that increase? Well, in the past six years, it has doubled from $30 billion.
Our two state-pension funds, the Public School Employees Retirement System (PSERS) and the State Employees Retirement System (SERS), may run dry by the 2030s.
What would happen then? Most likely drastic cuts to the general fund, core programs and services, like school budgets or tax increases.
So the question you are probably asking is what is our Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce doing about it?
The Chamber believes that SERS and PSERS participants should be placed in a defined contribution plan such as the 401(k) used in the private sector. What we need is the political will to do so. Action must be taken now to put new employees into a defined-contribution plan; place newly elected and re-elected legislators into the same defined-contribution plan; seek voluntary concessions from unions; raise the retirement age and offer reduced pensions for employees who voluntarily retire early; provide flexibility for changing market conditions and actuarial assumptions; and create a commission to provide oversight, make recommendations and evaluate ROI, management fees and performance.
The chamber opposes the "wait and see" approach of allowing Act 120 to be our solution. We don't want to see current retirees hurt or tax liabilities shifted down to the local level. We don't want to see bonds issued or a defined-market return rate.
Pennsylvania cannot afford to continue allowing retirees to receive more than one state public pension.
The chamber implores the legislature to take immediate, sustainable action to resolve the pension crisis. We welcome the opportunity to provide expertise to our members to solve this debacle.
Reducing Funding or Creating a Second Bureaucracy to Administer 401(k)-style Plans Are not the Way Back
to Solvency
By Pennsylvania State Representative
Peter Schweyer, District 22
State pensions have three basic sources of funding: contributions from the employees, proceeds from the investments and contributions from the employer – in this case, the Commonwealth. If one of these sources of funding falls short, the overall pension fund suffers.
We're seeing it now. Investment proceeds took a hit during the recession of the mid-2000s, and employer contributions suffered under Governors Rendell and Corbett as the legislature decided to use money earmarked for pensions to fill budget holes. The result is the $66 billion deficit we have now.
This severe deficit is causing massive strain on our state budget, resulting in far fewer dollars for education, infrastructure and economic development.
It is understandable that many people are demanding reform. However, almost every reform measure actually cuts the only source of funding we haven't cut – employee contributions. Reducing funding to a system already billions in the hole isn't the way back to solvency. Creating a second bureaucracy to administer a new 401(k)-style plan won't start saving us money until the middle of the century, while sending costs through the roof for the next decade.
I certainly care about the state's budget in 2060, but I cannot vote to starve our schools and municipalities of dollars they need to educate our kids or stimulate job growth in 2017, 2020 or even 2030 to get there. The urge to "do something" should never overcome sound, responsible fiscal policy.

Canna Country Inn, trazendo famílias e grupos juntos desde 1993.
Canna Inn became our "home away from home" as we hosted 125 guests on site for our daughter's wedding. The charm of the restored barn and beauty of its grounds provided the perfect canvas for a lovely outdoor event. By renting the inn for the entire weekend, we were about to accommodate the wedding party, extended family members and the bride and groom. The well equipped kitchen facilities allowed us to cater the wedding ourselves and stay well within our budget. Guests were absolutely taken by the setting and felt comfortable lingering well into the evening. The innkeepers, Susan and Daniel, maintain a well-manicured property and seem to take great pride in all that Canna has to offer. Prior to the weddng they were always a phone call or email away and were a tremendous resource as we planned all the details. Looking back, we wiould not change a thing about hosting this very special occasion at Canna Inn. Finding it was like finding a dream come true.
My family had our annual sibling and spouse reunion at Canna Country Inn this year. We had a wonderful time there! There was more than enough room for the 8 of us - master suites, kitchens, lounging both inside and out. The game room was an added bonus as was the stream and hammock in the back. I can't say enough good things about your restored barn!! I highly recommend it for your group gatherings!
I highly recommend the barn. The common rooms were so spacious, bedrooms were top notch, child friendly, kitchen was well stocked with anything you need to cook and serve meals. Had an amazing time!
We were very impressed with Canna Country Inn. It was clean and very well kept up. It is very spacious so you can be together or take some time alone in your little corner. Daniel & Susan are very friendly and gracious hosts.
The Canna Country Inn is the perfect place to host any kind of family event. Susan and Daniel were a pleasure to work with. We felt welcomed the moment we stepped in the door. The Inn is so beautiful, spacious and cozy. Beautifully decorated from top to bottom and provided everything you could possible need, as if it was your home away from home. We had our wedding here and the grounds were just as beautiful as the house. We enjoyed our stay very much and it was really hard to leave after spending the weekend. The price was good and every dollar was well spent. We look forward to coming back.
We, seven couples, were blown away with our first impression, spacious, and decorated with style, and elegance. We felt welcomed by the amenities. Kitchen was well stocked. Furniture was comfortable, and bed linens soft. We would definitely recommend this lodging.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: fail safe mode on 2005 Ford Freestyle
When backing up, car surges, rpm's go up, and "fail safe mode" is displayed. Can also happen when stopped at stop sign, but mostly in reverse. If you turn the car off, car returns to normal.
throttle body needs to be replaced. This is a known safety issue and Ford will not recall.
I'm having the same problem. Almost rear ended a car in a drive-thru bc it was surging uncontrollably. I've filed a complaint with NTHSA.org you should do the same.
No, don't get the throttle body replaced! Pay a few bucks for a bottle of Gumout Fuel System cleaner and fill up with 89 octane. That did the trick for me. The dealership, though, will tell you that the throttle body needs to be replaced. They're making a lot of money on this one!

Picture: Francis Rossi of status Quo The Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium London, England - 01.07.07
British rockers Status Quo have slammed Sir Paul McCartney's behaviour at the London Live 8 concert earlier this month (02JUL05) - because they believe he was determined to hog the limelight.
The ROCKIN' ALL OVER THE WORLD hitmakers played at 1985's Live Aid show and their request to play a song at the historic gig was snubbed by organiser SIR Bob Geldof
Singer Francis Rossi blames the egocentric actions of other stars for knocking Status Quo off the bill.
He says, "They all wanted to cherry pick when they could play. McCartney wasn't even satisfied with opening Live 8 with U2. He had to come back on later once he heard Pink Floyd were doing it because he didn't want to be upstaged.
"So playing with U2 obviously wasn't good enough for him. Add to that the lot of them onstage, including McCartney, at the end and he's been hogging the stage."
Rossi goes on to play down the impact of Geldof's initiatives to tackle famine, disease and poverty: "They could hold another Live Aid in 20 years and things will be the same.
"I don't know the answers to the problems of the world, but I know that playing a gig such as Live 8 isn't it. There was something off about the whole thing and what Bob Geldof was doing singing onstage if we couldn't play there, I'll never know."28/07/2005 01:57

If you wish to experience Europe, you have to travel to Italy. No other country in the world offers the depth, breadth, and scope of Italy. For fans of art, history, architecture, or music Italy is unsurpassable. From the Ancient Roman Empire to the Medieval Tuscan fortress towns and the Venetian Republic, Italy's extraordinary historical diversity has come together to produce a nation so extraordinary, so remarkable, so stunning as to leave the visitor with an unquenchable desire to return again and again. The legacy of the Renaissance and its masterpieces of art, music, and architecture have actually left such a tangible mark on the Italian soul one can hardly assist being swept along in the tide of culture. If you're a lover of nature, there are marvelous mountains, crystal seas, rolling hills, fertile plains, sweeping cliffs, and wonderful shallows, you have to take a trip to Italy.
Travel to Italy– The Cities to See
Milan is rivaled only by Paris as the fashion capital of the world and is patronizing its best. Rome has actually been the heart of Italy from the time of the Romans through today; to walk its streets is to walk in the steps of Emperors and Popes. Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and its presence reverberates through the old patched streets and gorgeous churches. Venice – the most unique and romantic city worldwide, stands classic and lovely in the midst of the Adriatic, a magnificent production highlighting guy at his most creative. Finally the magnificent and striking natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast, a place to unwind, take in the incredible natural appeal, dine on the world's favorite food at its finest, and experience that special joy of being that is uniquely Italian. No matter what you're looking for, it awaits you when you take a trip Italy and visit its cities.
The Weather
When you take a trip to Italy, it's vital to understand that in spite of its geographical position at the center of the warm zone, Italy has rather variable climatic characteristics. This is because of the presence of the Mediterranean, whose warm waters alleviate thermal extremes, and the Alpine arc, which forms an obstacle against the cold north winds. Moreover, when you take a trip Italy, keep in mind that Italy undergoes both wet and moderate atmospheric currents from the Atlantic Ocean and dry and cold ones from Eastern Europe.
The Apennine chain too, challenging the damp winds from the Tyrrhenian, causes considerable climatic distinctions in between the opposite sides of the peninsula. The distinctions in temperature in between the winter and summer season are more marked in the northern areas than in the south and along the coastlines. The mean temperature levels for the month of January in the Po Plain fluctuate around no, while in the Alpine valleys the thermometer can drop to -20 º and snow can stay on the ground for numerous weeks.
Mean summertime temperature levels throughout all Italy increase to 24º-25º for July, only being lower in the greatest zones. The highest amounts are registered in the Alpine arc (over 3,000 mm pa in the Lepontine and Julian Alps) and on the Apennines (over 3,000 mm pa in the Apuan Alps). Normally it is less than 800-900 mm pa but in the southern areas (Tavoliere and southern Sicily) it falls listed below 600 mm pa.
As you can see, when you travel to Italy, there is much to experience. The culture, history, and beauty of Italy make Italy a top European travel location.

No Gloves,Shoes! How Risky is Mescom Linemen Job ?
Mangaluru: In spite of few lives lost of Mangaluru Electricity Supply Company Limited (MESCOM) linemen in the past while trying to fix electrical faults, but until now the department has not taken up safety steps to prevent such accidents of their employees. Linemen working for the Mescom often have a risky job. Dealing with electricity, especially during rains and other dangerous conditions, is a must for these employees, but sadly most of these linemen do not have proper safety equipment during such work. They climb the wet poles with bare hands, and chances are that they may slip, fall and get injured or die. Even though the main switch is turned off while these linemen do the work on the electric pole/transformer etc-but chances are sometimes electricity may still be live in the circuit. Attending electrical problems without gloves and other safety equipment is quite risky, and then Mescom authorities should look into this safety issue.
When you look at the Mescom linemen attending calls to fix the electricity problems, none of them use safety equipment like gloves, shoes, proper clothing etc. Seems like Mescom either lack in safety equipment or such equipment have not been properly maintained. Sometimes even the safety of 11 KV high tension and low tension cables and mobile transformers are not as per standards, which may put the lives of these linemen in danger. Mescom should use modern methods for their linemen when they are working to fix any electrical problems.
Mescom should install wireless system for communication between staff and the control room. They should always have safety equipment in stock like safety shoes, hand gloves, head torch, safety reflecting jackets, mobile transformers, lifts with buckets, and other equipment. Cranes should also be ready to be used during certain times. Linemen should be trained to use these equipment and safety standards should be strictly enforced when they are at work. Speaking to Team Mangalorean, one electrical engineer who was at the site when his linemen were rectifying a faulty power wire said, "Even if we provide them with the equipment, we will also have to force them to use it initially. They are used to work without it for too long now. Yes we need to enforce these safety laws strict on our employees, before one more life is lost on the line of duty".
Apparently, many do not understand what lineman do everyday. These lineman are working around energized lines where there is always the risk of injury or death. Everyday. Like all professionals, proper training and safety are crucial to minimizing accidents; unfortunately, when they happen, the outcome is devastating. If you agree with me or not, lineman have a more dangerous occupation and the statistics prove it. Next, politicians and the public do treat first responders differently than anybody else in the public or private sector.
Even though these linemen do not get much recognition in the public media, these men keep the power flowing to hospitals, factories, stores and homes. Without them, everything from traffic lights to kids video game would go dark. These men serve their communities without applause or even much notice …and without brass band?. Sadly, when one of these linemen die while on line of duty, not many care about them. No brass band is arranged at their funeral. No television cameras, no official speeches. Only their family, kith and kin along with neighbors and friends, will grieve their loss.
Yes, if no proper safety standards are imposed on these Mescom linemen, there could be more lives lost or many others may suffer non-fatal loss of limbs from electrical burns and mechanical trauma. The monsoon will make it imperative that such equipment are properly used by linemen to safely carry out repairs. So, when the television news cameras pan across the destruction, take a moment to remember the utility workers who are putting things together again and making life livable. And remember their families.
In conclusion, Mescom authorities should see to the personal safety and health of each employee which is of prime importance. Prevention of occupationally induced injuries is of such consequence that it will give precedence over productivity, whenever necessary. To the greatest degree possible, as a statutory and moral responsibility, management should provide necessary equipment, procedures and safety policies. The accidents occur due to unsafe conditions / practice/ acts, lapse of management, unawareness of individuals, lack of training, lack of procedures and carelessness. Behind every accident there are several reasons, chances misses. Accidents can be completely eliminated by following Safety principles and procedures.
Management, Supervisors and Technicians have obligation towards safety and prevention of accidents and loss. Management should be committed to safety. Safety should be organised and managed. Few things to bear in mind: Ignorance of rules and regulation will result in accident. No operation/work is so urgent that it has to be performed in unsafe manner. Time is important but safety is more important. Quality gets the business, safety gets quality and recognition. Even the executive engineers of Mescom/top management in line need to lead by setting an example of adhering to safety practices/procedures as high as possible. The concept of behavioral safety should be implemented to reduce the no of accidents and loss of production time. Such a concept, together with reward and recognition for safety adherence, shall help defiantly in decrease of the accidents. If an employee adheres to safety practices, he needs to be recognized- similarly if an employee points out unsafe working conditions, it needs to be accepted and he should be recognized.
Mescom management should look and care for the safety of their linemen. Safety at every stage, safety first and safety always, shall lead to the success of the Mescom company.

Over the centuries of their existence the Scottish regiments of the British Army have gained a reputation in war that is the envy of all and which can be matched, or surpassed, by very few. The very description 'Scottish soldier' conjures up images ranging from the 'thin red streak tipped with a line of steel' of the 93rd Highlanders at Balaclava, and the charge of the Scots greys at Waterloo (1815), to the more recent deeds of Scottish regiments in the Falkland Islands (1982) and the Persian Gulf (1990-1991). Mike Chappell chronicles the remarkable history of the Scottish units which fought in the two world wars.

Anna Paquin cut out of 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' but appears on promotional magazine covers
It's almost as if they're rubbing salt in an open wound. Though director Bryan Singer has confirmed that Anna Paquin was cut from "X-Men: Days of Future Past," she still appears on a collectible Empire magazine cover for the movie.
The "True Blood/X-MEN" star is in character as Rogue on the cover, one of 25 being released for the movie. When asked if that means she'll be appearing after all, the magazine tweets, "For those asking if our Rogue cover means Rogue is in the movie, a definitive statement from Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg is in the issue."
Don't get your hopes up, though. Rogue was only set to appear in one scene in the film and it "had to go," according to Singer. Chances are promotional materials for "Days of Future Past" were set long before the movie's editing process was done.
In other news, Bryan Singer and Anna Paquin are set to co-chair this year Elton John AIDS Foundation 22nd Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" is set for theaters May 23.

But, this why I once refused to sign a petition to ban trophy hunting of polar bears. If the animal rights people who circulated this petition online, and the polar trophy hunters both had any sense, they would gladly put aside their differences and work together to fight global warming. This is because both sides want for there to be abundant thriving polar bear populations, and that will not be possible if global warming is not bought under control. If I lived in Alaska or the northern Canadian arctic, and I ran a polar bear trophy hunting business, I would be sacred out of my wits at the thought of global warming making polar bears extinct and putting me out of business!

Heritage Body and Frame Pond Springs
Review for Heritage Body and Frame Pond Springs
Thomas B. on 05/23/2013
"Terrible communication"
I dropped my car off overnight for them to take a look at my car after having an accident. The car still ran fine and the damage was almost unnoticeable. I mentioned on the phone before I dropped the car off that I didnt want to get the repairs done if they were expensive and was told that they can't do partial repairs. I expected to get a call estimating the cost to complete the work but instead, I got a call in 4 days saying that the work was completed without ever hearing an estimate or signing off on the repairs that needed to be done. Now I am stuck with a very expensive bill for work that didn't need to be done. These guys are grade A scam artists and I feel swindled. I will never go here again and will never recommend them to someone.

It's remarkable to think that two weeks into the season, a little more than a fifth of the league is in quarterback flux.
The Steelers' season started with Ben Roethlisberger on suspension, but they already have lost Dennis Dixon and Byron Leftwich for a spell to knee injuries and will go with Charlie Batch this week. Nevertheless, they are 2-0 because of a stifling defense. Other franchises aren't as fortunate.
The Eagles' quarterback controversy between Michael Vick and Kevin Kolb has been well-documented, but the Jason Campbell benching in Oakland has been a little under the radar. Campbell was brought over in a trade from the Redskins to stabilize years of unsettled quarterback problems. Six quarters into his reign, Bruce Gradkowski replaced him. On Wednesday afternoon, the Raiders announced Gradkowski will start Sunday.
The acquisition of Campbell was supposed to pull the Raiders out of the rut of being a 5-11 team every year, but they face the danger of falling back into that rut if they can't figure out how to end years of quarterback pain.
The Browns need Jake Delhomme to bounce back from an ankle injury, but I don't know if Delhomme or Seneca Wallace can pull out a win before the Oct. 31 bye week. The Browns blew chances to win against the Bucs and Chiefs. Now they have a schedule that includes Baltimore, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Pittsburgh and New Orleans. After the bye, they have the Patriots and Jets.
Shaun Hill was a nice pickup for the Lions as a backup, but the Lions need Matthew Stafford to get back by midseason and move the franchise forward. In Buffalo, it probably doesn't matter whether Trent Edwards or Ryan Fitzpatrick is the quarterback. You also figure Brian Brohm will get a look along the way. The Panthers had no choice in benching Matt Moore and going to Jimmy Clausen. Moore was getting only 10 completions a game.
The big debate in Buffalo is whether the Bills will be in position to draft Andrew Luck of Stanford next year if he turns pro. From the looks of the team, they probably will have the chance.
From the inbox
Q: If you've watched the Bills play in any game during the past two years, O-line woes have been a constant. The tackles get pushed into the pocket over 50 percent of the time. Cornell Green is atrocious. Unless it is faced with a no-pressure prevent package, the offensive line is incapable of protecting long enough to sustain a five- to seven-step passing game. Period.
Jarrett in Pittsburgh
A: You are correct in your evaluation. That is one of the many reasons I rated the Bills No. 32 in the latest Power Rankings and have them on the clock for the top of next year's draft. They should have never broken up the line they were trying to build a couple of years ago. The biggest mistake was not paying Jason Peters, who was a talented left tackle. Instead, they put big money into Langston Walker and Derrick Dockery and then let them go when they felt it wasn't working. One of the problems with the Bills is the decisions to let starters go without replacements in place. They let Terrell Owens and Josh Reed skip out of town without replacing them. They drafted guards to fix the offensive line when they let their tackles go.
Q: My question is regarding the Oakland Raiders' offensive line. Do you think their O-line is more adept at blocking the 3-4 teams in the AFC West? To me, it looked like they were getting beat by the smaller, faster, more agile defensive line players of the Titans, whereas all the AFC West teams play with bigger-bodied 3-4 lines. Although there was little to no game-planning in the preseason, it did look like Oakland's O-line was dominating the line of scrimmage against 3-4 teams. Am I on to something here?
Josh in Derby, Kan.
A: The unsettled center position gives the Raiders a big problem going against 3-4 defenses, but I contend the line has trouble against all schemes. Actually, the Raiders were trying to get bigger at center, but in doing so, they lost a little athleticism. This isn't a coaching issue. It's a talent issue. The last big commitment the Raiders made to the offensive line was drafting Robert Gallery. Since then, they've been patching with trades and free-agent additions. Here it is two weeks into the season and the Raiders have created a quarterback controversy with the benching of Jason Campbell. Uncertainty at quarterback isn't going to help things along the line either.
Q: I loved the game plan that Houston used against Indy. I've always thought Arian Foster was a stud and deserved to start. Even though the Texans have started the season with great success, we know history and this team blows games within the division. I sense Gary Kubiak is on the hot seat this year. The Texans have a balanced attack on offensive and a decent D. If the Texans miss the playoffs, is Kubiak gone?
Paul in Mechanicsville, Va.
A: Kubiak couldn't be any safer. He signed a contract extension and he's doing his best coaching. Finally, he has a running back in Foster he trusts. Foster gives the Texans the running threat to draw the eighth defender near the line of scrimmage. When that happens, Matt Schaub can switch to a passing attack. Now the Texans can beat teams two ways -- running and passing. Give Kubiak credit. It took time to develop Schaub into an elite quarterback, but Schaub accomplished that during Kubiak's tenure. Now the running game looks potent. For the first time, the Texans look like a team that can win within the AFC South. All signs are pointing to the Texans' best season ever.
Q: How much sense would it make if the Packers traded A.J. Hawk to Buffalo for Marshawn Lynch? Both have diminished roles (Lynch for sure) and would fill needs for both teams.
Chris in Chandler, Ariz.
A: It would work well for the Packers, but it doesn't work well for the Bills. No trade. Hawk fits better in a 4-3 defense as a weakside linebacker. The Bills switched to a 3-4. Hawk would feel as uncomfortable in the Bills' scheme as he is in the Packers' scheme. The Packers would have to cough up a draft choice to get Lynch. If there is a way to do it for a fourth-round choice, it would be a great move. With a two-game lead over the Vikings, the Packers should go for it and try to make a run to the Super Bowl. The loss of Ryan Grant was huge. Lynch would fill the void perfectly.
Q: You spoke about how things looked bleak for the Cardinals and Derek Anderson at quarterback. You also said the Cardinals should be looking to the draft next year to find a quarterback. I know Max Hall was not drafted and has only played against the second and third teams when he has played, but why are you already writing him off?
Todd in Denver
A: Don't fall into the trap the Carolina Panthers did with Matt Moore. Quarterbacks are undrafted for reasons. That's not to say an undrafted quarterback won't be successful. Kurt Warner, Tony Romo and several others have been major success stories. But they need extra time to develop. To assume that Hall can turn around the fortunes of the Cardinals would be ill-advised at the moment. The Panthers watched Moore win a few starts and thought he was ready to be the 16-game starter. After two off performances, the Panthers are 0-2 and in crisis mode. There is nothing wrong with drafting a top quarterback in the first round and still developing Hall. If the Cardinals do that, they have more options. If they have to, they could trade Hall for value or play him if the drafted quarterback struggles or gets hurt.
Q: After the call in the Detroit game where Calvin Johnson dropped a touchdown as he went to the ground, do you think NFL defenses will be coached to make sure they tackle a player any time he catches a pass in the end zone? The rule only applies if the receiver goes to the ground. I would make sure he always goes to the ground.
Steve in Villa Hills, Ky.
A: That's what coaches do and do so well. They adjust to rule changes. Coaches spend the entire week studying film and coming up with new techniques for players. I was talking to an NFL official the other day and we were discussing just what you said. Over the past couple of years, the rules have been changed to allow defensive backs to be more aggressive in coverage. A couple of years ago, the league stopped giving receivers the ball if they were pushed out of bounds by defenders. Coaches followed that lead and taught defenders to be more aggressive at the line of scrimmage. Seeing the Johnson play, defensive backs know the play doesn't end until the whistle is blown and the receiver has reached a position on the ground in which he can show an official he has the ball.
Q: I have what might be a silly question. I watch a lot of football and I have noticed something this year that I've never noticed as much of before -- players' helmets flying off. Sure, you see this from time to time, but during the preseason, it was nothing short of amazing how many plays resulted in at least one player being "de-helmeted." Are you aware of any changes that have been made to the design of the helmets, or is this just an anomaly?
Rick in Kokomo, Ind.
A: You do watch a lot of games and have picked up on something. I don't know the reason. This goes beyond players buckling the chin strap. All do. I don't think it's a complete equipment issue. Part of it might be the way players are now hitting. Each year, the league is more strict in enforcing helmet hits. Maybe players are using their shoulders and pads more with upper-body hits and helmets fly off because of the force. Commissioner Roger Goodell thinks too many players aren't using enough padding because they don't think it looks good. There are expansive straps that might turn players off. This needs to be further evaluated.
Q: Which do you think had more impact on the Steelers' recent defensive performance? The idea that they had to "step up" or the fact that their offense ran a more traditional (Steelers' tradition anyway) run-based offense and therefore had longer possessions? My thought on running the ball more is to make the possessions last longer and give your defense more time to rest. What do you think?
Joel in Guthrie Center, Iowa
A: It's clearly the defense that is winning the day for the Steelers. Their defense has been stifling in the past two weeks. On a certain level, it reminds me of 1976, when the Steelers lost two quarterbacks because of injury and the defense was outstanding. I like the fact that they are running the ball. It helps the defense, but the defense has been the big reason the Steelers are 2-0. Starting off with the Falcons and Titans was a very difficult challenge. The Steel Curtain is looking better than ever.

County pays $1 Million for dungeon like conditions at jail
Cook County has agreed to pay a settlement to four women prisoners who were held in dungeon like conditions. They will get very little (two $5,000 and two about $140,000). The lawyers get most of the settlement. Class action was denied so all the other prisoners who suffered will get nothing. See more details here.
Cook County Jail had a policy until 2003 to lockdown female inmates from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. They were denied phone calls, exercise, any out of cell time, etc. They had difficulty getting attention of guards through heavy cell doors, for medical issues or for attacks by other detainees. There were 2 to 3 in a cell and if one woman attacked another they were not protected and the guards ignored them.
This practice ended in 2003 when this suit was filed.
Cook County jail guard delivers drugs to inmates
Cook County Jail guard arrested and jailed for taking bribe to buy and deliver drugs to an inmate.
Correctional Officer charged with stealing detainee's cash
Authorities report they arrested Cook County Correctional Officer Tyrone McDowell Jr., 33, of Blue Island, on criminal charges alleging he was involved in $1,760 found missing from 14 detainees' commissary accounts and the forging of detainees' cash receipts. Ofc. McDowell's job included collecting money from detainees newly received at the jail and providing them with a receipt. Bail was set at $50,000. McDowell had been responsible for handling money confiscated from detainees when they first entered the jail.
Charges include 11 counts of official misconduct, 10 counts of forgery and one count of theft, according to public records. Investigators found $1,760 was missing from 14 detainees when money was confiscated when they entered the jail. Auditors noticed that one of the receipts had been altered. The Sheriff's Office of Professional Review investigated this problem. The investigation looked at the facts related to a detainee and revealed he had allegedly been issued a receipt for $500 by McDowell, but only received $200 when he was released on bail. The investigation revealed that the County's copy of the receipt had been changed to indicate only $200 was taken from the detainee. Further investigations revealed similar situations occurred with other detainees.
Deputy Walter R Stanislavski falsely arrests Dr. Shelton
Deputy Walter R. Stanislavski, badge 10395, working at Bridgeview courthouse in room 207 on October 21, 2009, in retaliation for Dr. Shelton admonishing Deputy M. Norris, badge 10425, that Deputy Norris had illegally grabbed Dr. Shelton's arm in the courtroom, which amounted to assault and battery, and interference with Dr. Shelton speaking up as pro se counsel, stood in front of Dr. Shelton, interfering with her properly speaking in the courtroom.
Deputy Stanislavski then purposely bumped into Dr. Shelton's walker, falsely claiming he was preventing Shelton from approaching Judge Hyland. Then while looking at Deputy Norris said: "If you're going to accuse Deputy Norris of assault, then I'm going to charge you with battery."
Deputy Stanislavski has committed falsification of records, perjury, official misconduct, violation of civil rights under color of law, conspiracy to violate civil rights under color of law, and obstructed justice by interfering with pro se counsel. He obviously did this in retaliation for Dr. Shelton's many legitimate complaints about corrupt Sheriff staff and judges. This is therefore, also felony retaliation against a federal witness.
Shelton then was fraudulently arrested for simple battery with Deputy Stanislavski lying and stating that Dr. Shelton attacked him with her walker. He obviously produced a falsified arrest and/or incident report.
Excessive bail was set at $50,000 despite the fact that Shelton is indigent, on food stamps, and on SSI by a corrupt judge.
The entire incident is written in great detail on Shelton's other blog: cookcountyjudges.wordpress.com.
More Threats by Sheriff Officers Against Dr. Shelton
This e-mail has been sent to the FBI:
The following are more threats against me (a potential federal witness against the Cook County Sheriff staff) for my whistle blowing as I have given your office a LOT of evidence against corrupt sheriff deputies. You still fail to protect me. I have been illegally arrested by the Sheriff on bogus and fabricated charges another five times in the last 5 months. I already sent you info about several of these incidents. You can read about it on my blogs: http://chicagofbi.wordpress.com and https://cookcountysheriffdeputies.wordpress.com .
I don't understand why the US Atty has not issued arrest warrants for
Sheriff Dart, many supervisors and officers at CCDOC for threatening a witness, for murder which you have documented, for felony violation of civil rights, for conspiracy to cover-up civil rights violations, etc., etc.
You still have not arrested the parole agent and her supervisors where I gave you undisputed evidence that she fabricated her records on me (a wrongfully convicted person – due to perjury of the sheriff officer) and then had issued a fraudulent arrest warrant.
I was recently hired by an internet news agency as a reporter. I vow to get out this information about the failure of the FBI and US Atty to do their jobs, as well as the pervasive corruption at CCDOC.
Please note I have severe uncontrolled asthma with laryngospasm. If I am sprayed with pepper spray I could die and they know it.

Cook County Correctional Officer Jacob Cano Shot in Robbery
Cook County Correctional Officer Jacob Cano was wounded in a shooting during a robbery, September 23, 2009, when leaving his home in the 4600 block of West 82nd Street when men approached and tried to rob him, according to Cook County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Patterson. Ofc. Cano was apparently stabilized before being transported to hospital after being shot in the back. He apparently was conscious after being shot. He works in Division 1 at the Cook County Jail.
Update 9/26/09 – It is reported he is in an ICU in serious but stable condition. Sounds like he'll be OK.
Oppose Re-Election of Sheriff Dart
I oppose the re-election of Sheriff Dart. I have given him evidence of perjury by several of his deputies, battery and medical neglect at the jail resulting in disability and death, violation of law by officials and guards at CCDOC – with many SERIOUS civil rights violations. He has done nothing about this. He is covering-up corruption.
I have turned over much evidence to the FBI and posted it on my blogs:
http://chicagofbi.wordpress.com/ ,
http://illinoiscorruption.blogspot.com/ and this site
We need a new Sheriff who will cut out waste, fraud and patronage, improve training and oversight of deputies, clean up the hygiene problems, medical neglect, and abuse at the jail (the hygiene in the visiting areas is so poor it will likely greatly add to the H1N1 epidemic), and respond one-on-one in a transparent manner to complaints.
Sheriff Dart has always like his predecessor REFUSED to meet with me. He should prove me wrong and meet with me in the presence of reporters so I can present to him hard evidence of what I am saying.

A look at the government's proposed changes to higher education in England, as it is due to publish a White Paper setting out ministers' vision for the future of the sector.
The document will set the landscape for higher education as tuition fees rise to up to £9,000 per year.
Competition and student numbers
- The White Paper aims to create a "more dynamic sector in which popular institutions can grow and where all universities must offer a good student experience to remain competitive"
- Details have not yet been announced officially, but universities are expected to be allowed to expand the number of students they take with the grades AAB or higher
- Universities charging fees below a certain threshold – perhaps £6,000 or £7,500 – are also likely to be allowed to increase their numbers
- Universities are likely to have to bid for a proportion of students, at least partly on the basis of the lowest tuition fee price they offer, rather than simply being given a quota of places they can fill
- An overall cap on the numbers of students who will receive government-funded loans is expected to be retained
- The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) will "have a new role as promoter of a competitive system"
New providers
- Legislation to ensure "that all HE [higher education] providers can secure government support via students loans on an equal footing, so long as they meet common quality standards" will aim to remove entry barriers for new providers
- There may be changes to the types of body that can be granted degree-awarding powers
Student experience
- Universities will have to publish directly comparable data for prospective students on 16 areas – including teaching hours, accommodation costs, and employment rates and future salaries of graduates by course
- Data will also be published, by course, showing the qualifications held by previously successful applicants
- Universities will be "encouraged" to publish information about the teaching qualifications and expertise of teaching staff
- Universities will be expected to publish online reports of student surveys of lecture courses, "aiding choice and stimulating competition between the best academics"
- Universities and colleges will have to publish details of how they spend tuition fee income
- There will be fewer routine inspections of universities for quality, but more powers for inspections to be triggered if students raise concerns about teaching standards
- Measures will be taken to make graduates more employable, such as working with employers to develop and "kitemark" courses, boosting enterprise skills training for students, and reviewing university-industry collaboration – including seeking to reverse the decline in sandwich courses offering a year in industry
Social mobility
- The Office of Fair Access (Offa) will have its resources increased and monitor the plans and targets universities must set for attracting students from disadvantaged backgrounds if they want to charge more than £6,000 fees
- The head of Offa will report to government this autumn about further sanctions and powers to support the body in its work
- Offa "will continue to have a duty to protect academic freedom, including an institution's right to decide who to admit and on what basis"

In the problem it shows a box with a height of 8 cm, a length of 9cm, and a width of 12 cm. Running through the middle of the inside of the box is a dashed line. What is the length of the dashed line?
I'm assuming the line runs from opposite corners of the box.
Now, there is a right triangle formed:
Leg One: the edge of the box of height 8.
Leg Two: diagonal running the base of the box.
The Hypotenuse of this right triangle is the dotted line.
Leg Two is the diagonal through the box of dimensions 9x12. It's length is √(92 + 122) = 15
The dotted line is of length √(152+82) = √269 = 17

I have curated this group with a focus on variety of color, compositions, cheese types and regions of which they represent. Additionally I included information identifying these unique subjects and their makers along with some distinguishing facts so you can hopefully find them all to eat and share and support your local makers.
This year I am happy to say I've found a better printer to produce these calendars with luxuriously heavy paper, fine quality printing and a customized calendar that includes lots of fun food holidays, especially cheese-centric holidays, for you to enjoy each month.
SIZE: 8.5x11", 17x11" when fully open
