Smarter Landscapes from the ground up … GroundSmart™ Rubber Mulch is the Ultimate Mulch™ – making landscapes beautiful and easy to maintain, saving you time and money year after year.
Landscaping should look great all year round, not just when it has been recently mulched. GroundSmart Landscape Rubber Mulch is an environmentally-friendly and money-saving alternative to traditional bark and wood mulch for commercial and residential landscaping projects. Landscapers have relied upon organic mulch as groundcover for hundreds of years for one simple reason: There was no better alternative. Now there is.
Rubber landscape mulch is more durable, cost-effective, lower-maintenance and eco-friendly than wood mulch, stone and other traditional landscaping materials. Rubber mulch for landscaping is an excellent weed suppressant, won't harbor harmful pests like termites, rodents or spiders, and is resistent to mold and fungus. Available in five beautiful colors, all backed by our 12-Year Color Lock guarantee, GroundSmart rubber mulch is a superior solution for any landscaping project.
GroundSmart Landscaping Rubber Mulch is a high-performance landscaping material, requiring re-application over 10-times less often by remaining bright and plush, all year, right where you put it – and because you won't need to re-mulch for up to 12 years, you save on the costs of buying new mulch and on the labor of re-applying it on a yearly basis. Your wallet and your back will thank you!
How to use: Spread 1.5 inches deep throughout landscape areas . For maximum weed protection, install a weed block landscape fabric underneath mulch.
Where to Use: Throughout landscape areas or anywhere traditional wood mulch, decorative rock or other ground covering materials are used. May be installed next to tree trunks, house foundations or other wood structures, unlike wood mulch.
Where Not to Use: Before flower and vegetable seeds have germinated and around underdeveloped plants until they have had time to mature.
When to Use: Anytime.
Smart solutions like Rubber Mulch save not only time and money, but are great for the environment. As a green landscaping material, GroundSmart Rubber Mulch saves trees and earns you Green Building (LEED) Credits.

Underground construction is fraught with hazards. Although many of these can be anticipated, sometimes workers' own choices put them beyond the protection of countermeasures. The Milwaukee Water Pollution Abatement Program (MWPAP) can attribute three of its six fatalities to such a choice.
Guidance in structuring a safe underground work place can be found in regulations published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and other agencies with a similar mission. OSHA regulations have improved recently, but the industry still requires better understanding and definition of responsibilities for such issues as tunnel classification and control of a multiemployer work site. Those involved in tunnel construction should work with OSHA to establish clearer direction on these issues.
MWPAP began in 1977 as a program imposed by the federal and state regulators that encompasses the 450 square mile Milwaukee metropolitan area. The work consists of upgrading two waste water treatment plants, as well as establishing a large-diameter, in-line storage interceptor system and a program to relieve combined sewer overflows in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. MWPAP is now 97 percent complete, with completion expected in the fall of 1995, a year ahead of schedule.

Milwaukee Water Pollution Abatement Program: Underground Safety—Dealing With Osha

Underground construction is fraught with hazards. Although many of these can be anticipated, sometimes workers' own choices put them beyond the protection of countermeasures. The Milwaukee Water Pollution Abatement Program (MWPAP) can attribute three of its six fatalities to such a choice.
Guidance in structuring a safe underground work place can be found in regulations published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and other agencies with a similar mission.

MWPAP is now 97 percent complete, with completion expected in the fall of 1995, a year ahead of schedule.
OCR for page 65
The total cost of MWPAP is $2.29 billion. The program comprises 324 separate construction contracts,1 and construction costs represent $1.6 billion of the total cost. The underground component, with construction costs of approximately $900 million, consists of 20 miles of 17-to 32-ft-diameter rock tunnels lying 300 ft below the ground surface, 24 drop shafts and approach channels connecting to that deep system, and 62 miles of small-diameter (i.e., 60 to 144 inches) near-surface collector tunnels at depths of 30 to 100 ft below the surface.
Organization of MWPAP
The owner of MWPAP is the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD), which was the first special service agency in the United States. CH2M Hill is the program manager and as such is responsible for planning, design, construction management, cost and schedule control, and claims management or mitigation. All construction contracts were procured using the normal public works bidding process. Construction contracts are between MMSD and the construction contractor. Eighty-eight engineering firms work under direct contract to CH2M Hill, with a maximum of 650 personnel. At the height of construction in the late 1980s there were 75 active construction contracts, employing 1,200 construction personnel.
The controlling regulatory code for safety is the federal OSHA code. Underground construction is governed by Subpart S, "Tunnels and Shafts, Caissons, Cofferdams, and Compressed Air," which was revised in 1989. Subpart K of the OSHA regulations, "Electrical Code," was another critical regulatory component for the program. Safety on MWPAP was also under the review of the Wisconsin Department of Industrial Health and Labor Relations.
The roles and responsibilities of team members are well defined and have been throughout the program. The owner, MMSD, alone has the authority to shut down work for any reason. MMSD also committed to fund, train, and have available the rescue team for all underground contractors. To meet this commitment, the Milwaukee Fire Department assembled three full rescue teams staffed through the Milwaukee metropolitan area that meet the OSHA 30-minute response criterion, with more than adequate backup for the second team. Finally, and most importantly, the prime construction contractor (i.e., the organization responsible for the work on site) carries the overall responsibility for work-site safety.
MWPAP's 324 separate construction contracts have been distributed across the years of the program's existence.
OCR for page 65
The program manager, as one employer on a multiemployer work site, has the responsibility to train its own staff for their work activities underground. This also requires an understanding of the prime contractor's safety program and an implementation of appropriate components of the program by the program manager's staff. All personnel are to report their safety concerns to the contractor and the program's on-site representative (usually the resident engineer). Finally, each individual has the responsibility to take action as a prudent professional if danger appears imminent.
Program Safety
The subsurface environment in the Milwaukee metropolitan area has had a significant impact on underground construction and associated safety requirements and programs. The metropolitan area lies at the confluence of three rivers as shown in Figure 1. These rivers are surface expressions of deeply carved glacial valleys. Since the last glacial period, these valleys have been filled with a wide range of deposits ranging from dense glacial till to sand and gravel alluvial deposits and highly organic marsh deposits. While construction challenges occurred on the deep rock tunnel component of MWPAP, the major challenges occurred in work conducted in materials deposited since the last glacial period.
Three major elements challenged the construction team. First, since most of the near-surface tunnels constructed on MWPAP followed the paths of the three rivers in the area, ground water levels were close to the surface. This required soft-ground tunneling methods, as shown in Figure 2, that control the inflow of water to minimal levels.
Second, the variable nature of these subsurface deposits required ground support systems that were robust, with the flexibility to support widely varying loading conditions. This was particularly crucial in the soft organic marsh deposits.
Finally, the most significant challenge of all was dealing with the potential of methane produced from the natural decay of organic materials in the marsh deposits. These deposits were the source of the methane that fueled a 1988 explosion.
Safety Record
MWPAP has had six fatalities in over 20 million hours of underground work. One worker fell in a shaft, another was hit on the head by falling debris, and a third was caught in a conveyor. The last three fatalities resulted from the 1988 methane explosion. There were no citations for the first three, but litigation and federal action continue in the case of the explosion.

The Regulatory Environment And The Team's Response
The OSHA Code, Subpart S, in force through most of the program's underground construction, did not include the current classification system, that provides definitions classifying tunnels as nongassy, potentially gassy, or gassy. In addition, before 1989, Subpart S contained only minimal language on air quality and ventilation. It required mechanical ventilation, a reversible ventilation system, 30 ft/min of airflow in the tunnel, 200 ft3/min per worker, and mandatory shutdown and evacuation of workers at 1.5 percent (i.e., 30 percent of the lower explosive limit [LEL]) or higher concentrations of flammable gas, with no return to work until concentrations diminished to less than 1 percent (i.e., 20 percent of the LEL). The OSHA regulations also required that evacuation plans be developed and made known to the employees and that electrical equipment conform to the requirements of Subpart K. These requirements set the minimum standards for underground safety.
In December 1987, a contractor ran into methane while mining through a highly organic soft clay. Several shutdowns occurred. Responding to the contractor's concern, CH2M Hill conducted a major investigation to determine the potential occurrence of methane in this environment. The findings, shared with all underground contractors, led the program manager to take a proactive approach to the potential methane hazard by modifying all of the contracts to establish stringent, specific safety requirements.
They took the best, most stringent requirements from several sources, including California OSHA, MSHA, and the federal OSHA. From these requirements they crafted precise language for the seven tunnel contracts in the soft organic clay environment. The contract modification required the following:
ventilation 24 hours a day, using Class I, Division 1 fans for the main ventilation system (Subpart K, Section 1926.449, "Electrical Code, Classification of Hazardous Work Space");
an airflow increase from 30 to 60 ft/min;
continuous monitoring at the heading with warning broadcast at 10 percent of the LEL and shutdown and evacuation at 20 percent (recall that Subpart S at the time required shutdown and evacuation at 30 percent of the LEL); and
the conformance of all electrical components on the TBMs to Class I, Division 2 requirements (also from Subpart K).
Contractors were required to develop a detailed, formal training program and a detailed evacuation and recovery plan should a shutdown occur.
OCR for page 65
CH2M Hill performed a detailed fault-tree analysis of failure mechanisms in the underground construction environment to establish redundancy priorities. (A fault tree is a logic diagram that allowed CH2M Hill to reason through the chains of circumstances and events that lead to the failure mechanisms.) Ventilation proved most critical in providing a safe working environment. The team required 24-hour ventilation; fully reversible, explosion-proof fans; and air velocities greater than those required by OSHA (see Figure 3). The next redundancy priority was early detection. The team required continuous monitoring and early detection and warning. Shutdown and evacuation were the third redundancy priority, and comprehensive training was the fourth. Class I, Division 2 electrical components were considered the fifth level of redundancy. Preventing the environment from becoming hazardous was the first objective of the contract safety program. If prevention proved impossible, getting the workers out and the power off before it became hazardous was the backup.
The Event
On November 10, 1988, the contractor started the morning shift and quickly encountered a concentration of methane in excess of 20 percent of the LEL that shut down the TBM. The 11 people in the tunnel at that time evacuated safely. The contractor's evacuation and recovery plan required that the superintendent account for all workers who had been in the tunnel and then de-energize the tunnel, reverse the fan on the main vent line, and monitor the return air, waiting a minimum of one hour or until he or she could no longer detect a flammable mixture in the return air, whichever period of time was longer, before reentering the tunnel.
Instead of following the evacuation and recovery plan, the superintendent, the safety engineer, and the shift foreman—the three most experienced people on the contractor's team—reentered the tunnel after 45 minutes. They neither reversed the ventilation system's air flow nor monitored the methane levels in the return air, they never shut off the power, and they did not wait the minimum hour. Five minutes after they reentered the tunnel, an explosion killed them.
The Fallout
Despite the belief of the MWPAP team that program roles and responsibilities are well established, legal determination of responsibility for the explosion remains unresolved. OSHA continues to pursue action against CH2M Hill.

The consequences for the contractor included convictions for negligent homicide at the state level and for criminal violation of OSHA regulations at the federal level. The contractor's total expenses for litigation, recovery of the tunnel, and returning to work ran over $7 million. The contractor also was disqualified from a bid that he had essentially won for work on the Los Angeles subway system.
CH2M Hill was charged with 47 willful violations of OSHA regulations, with a fine of $10,000 per violation. Twenty-seven of those violations were for the lack of explosion-proof light bulbs, as required in Subpart K, in the string leading from the shaft to the heading. OSHA has taken the position that the hazardous classifications under Subpart K, which were intended for work spaces such as paint shops and manufacturing facilities, apply to underground construction. CH2M Hill was also charged as having control over the construction work site. Their cost thus far has exceeded $2 million.
Personally, the author has spent much time giving depositions to federal lawyers, state lawyers, and insurance company lawyers. He has been a witness in the criminal proceedings. And the U.S. Attorney from the southeastern district of Wisconsin believed that the author sat down with the contractor's project manager after the explosion and drafted the evacuation plan. The author testified before a federal grand jury, as the Department of Labor and U.S. Attorney explored a possible corporate and personal indictment for criminal violation of OSHA regulations. Fortunately there were two engineers on the grand jury. One of these, who had worked in a manufacturing facility, observed that using Subpart K hazardous classifications in the underground environment was inappropriate. Criminal indictment of CH2M Hill and the author was not pursued.
Subpart K's hazardous classifications assume that work must be conducted in a hazardous environment. However, the MWPAP team's approach to the underground environment, demonstrated by their contract modifications in the face of a high probability of methane being encountered, was to detect hazards early, shut down work, and evacuate the tunnel before the environment became hazardous. From that perspective, Subpart S and the MWPAP team's contract modifications were far more stringent than Subpart K.
Five years later, CH2M Hill is still embroiled in legal repercussions. On August 25, 1993, upon CH2M Hill's formal appeal, a Department of Labor administrative judge dismissed all charges, saying in his decision that it was unequivocally clear that the program manager did not control the work site. The contractor even asserted under oath that he controlled the work site and assumed all responsibility for safety. However, OSHA filed an eleventh-hour appeal and continues to insist that CH2M Hill controlled the work site, despite the contractor's insistence to the contrary. The case will go before the OSHA Review Commission and quite possibly to the U.S. Appeals Court and the Supreme Court. CH2M Hill expects that a resolution of the case is three or more years away.
OCR for page 65
Lessons Learned
The following lessons can be drawn from the CH2M Hill experience with the methane explosion on the MWPAP. First, in underground construction, all responsibility for and direction of safety must be centered in a single entity or organization. That entity must have a well-documented safety plan and must ensure that all involved are properly trained in safe practices and responses to contingencies. All employees on the project must follow the safety program. The responsible entity must exhaustively document all its efforts to ensure safe practices.
Second, those involved in underground construction have a number of issues to resolve with OSHA. Subpart S was revised in 1989, after the MWPAP methane explosion, to provide definitions for tunnel classification as nongassy, potentially gassy, or gassy. The revisions also require a warning when explosive gases reach a level of 10 percent of the LEL and evacuation at 20 percent, as was required by the revised contracts on MWPAP. Finally, the revisions add details concerning ventilation requirements and training and evacuation plans.
However, despite the revisions providing the definitions, OSHA has shown no willingness to classify tunnels. Those involved in tunnel construction must work with OSHA to determine who is responsible for doing so. Also, the question of whether the hazard classifications of the Electrical Code apply underground must be resolved. Finally, in a multiemployer work site, what does control of the work site mean? Roles and responsibilities of the various parties to a project must be better defined.
In the end, safety is an attitude that must be maintained continuously. Those involved in an underground construction project must work together as an integrated, coordinated, and committed team with safety as a primary focus; otherwise, accidents will happen.
In response to participant questions, John Ramage added the following points of clarification. Before the methane explosion, there had been one other shutdown because of a high methane concentration. Interpreting the question further, he added that there is not really any way to prevent workers from making bad decisions, such as the one to go back into the tunnel, either with regulations, program plans, or training.
The decision to go back into the tunnel was made by the safety engineer, who had returned two days before the incident from a week-long training course given by MSHA.
OCR for page 65
He was an employee of the contractor and had the authority to make that decision. The safety engineer was one of the three who reentered the tunnel.
Following the question period, Ted Petrie, who is a division manager for the Department of Engineering at the Department of Energy (DOE), described the process by which DOE selects the regulations to be imposed contractually at the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF) at Yucca Mountain and named the agencies involved in the safety oversight of the program.
The following are the regulations from which DOE has selected the health and safety requirements to be met at the ESF: the State of California Tunnel Safety Orders, the OSHA Orders, the MSHA Orders, the State of Nevada Health and Safety Standards, and the State of Nevada OSHA regulations. From these various sources, DOE selects the most stringent requirements (i.e., the ones providing the most protection) in each category and imposes them contractually upon the prime contractor and, through the contractor, upon all parties working on the ESF.
The enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the ESF is the State of Nevada OSHA. That agency has formal inspection authority at Yucca Mountain. DOE also has a memorandum of understanding with MSHA, through which MSHA will provide, upon request, less formal design review and inspections to assist DOE in ensuring safety at the Yucca Mountain ESF.

They might not have made their announcement in front of the ESPN cameras, and you won't necessarily find their highlight videos on many of the most popular recruiting websites, but while the blue-chippers were trying on various hats and the recruting services were shuffling their team rankings, a number of area football players were taking huge steps Wednesday, signing letters of intent to continue their careers at the collegiate level.
"It's always great to see young players acheive their dreams," said Woodrow Wilson head coach John H. Lilly. "I don't think anybody realizes just how hard these players work."
Here's a look at the area stars and where they'll be headed this fall.
Mike Bailey (Woodrow Wilson): Concord — Bailey knows the Concord program well. He's been attending camps there for three years, and his former teammate, Josh Cottle, was the starting guard for the Mountain Lions last season.
"I think he'll fit like a glove," said Woodrow Wilson head coach John H. Lilly. "He knows the coaches, knows the players and he'll go there and work hard."
Lilly said Concord and head coach Garin Justice will move Bailey back to his natural position at center. He's strong enough today, Lilly said, to play at the college level, and his 6-foot, 254-pound frame will only get bigger.
Jennings Berry (Meadow Bridge): Concord —Berry played both defensive end and running back for the Wildcats last season, helping them to an 8-3 season and a spot in the Class A playoffs. He finished the season with 64 tackles, five sacks and a pair of fumble recoveries. He carries the ball 22 ties for 66 yards and also spent some time on the offensive line.
Josh Brown (Liberty): Glenville State — Brown went to the 11th hour to make his decision, but late Tuesday night he decided to choose Glenville State over The University of Charleston. He'll officially sign today.
Brown has spent the last few seasons handling the kicking and punting duties for the Raiders and said the package he received from Glenville was just a little too hard to turn down.
"I got serious about kicking when I was a sophomore," Brown said. "I learned soccer style and started doing that and it came naturally to me. I took it seriously and wanted to achieve a dream of playing some college ball."
Brown averaged 38 yards a punt and was 2-for-4 in field goals and 24-for-28 on extra points. He had 11 touchbacks.
Brown said the choice was a stressful one for himself and his parents, Larry and Lisa, but in the end, Glenville won out over Charleston and West Virginia State.
"Overall I got a better offer from Glenville State," Brown said. "The coaches welcomed me with open arms. They seem to like me and I like them too," Brown said. "They treat me like a part of the family"
"Josh probably worked harder than any kid I've ever had," Liberty coach Jeff Alexander said. "He'll work his butt off and impress the coaches. I don't know who the No. 1 guy on the depth chart is, but he'll push him. You're not going to outwork Josh, that's for sure. You stay there 2 hours and he's going to stay 2 hours and 20 minutes."
Brown will enroll at Glenville State in the fall and pursue a degree in biology.
Ramon Edwards (Woodrow Wilson): Glenville State — Edwards caught 27 passes for 245 yards and carried the ball 65 times for 758 yards as a senior, averaging more than 11 yards per carry.
Also a track standout, Edwards had some offers at Division I programs as a preferred walk-on but chose to accept the scholarship money to attend Glenville State.
"I'm really proud of him," said Woodrow Wilson head coach John H. Lilly. "When you can go to school for free, it's always a good decision. (Glenville) plays a spread offense, and I think he'll fit in great. He can catch those bubble screens and make plays.
"It was a well thought-out decision."
Edwards already has the speed, and Lilly expects he'll only get stronger after spending some time with the Pioneers.
Lilly also commented that Edwards has matured greatly in recent years, and he expects nothing but success in his future.
Andrew Johnson (Woodrow Wilson): Hargrave Military Academy — The Flying Eagles' standout quarterback helped take his team into the Class AAA playoffs, throwing for 1,117 yards and 12 touchdowns while rushing for 875 yards and a dozen more scores.
Also the starting point guard on the basketball team, Johnson had opportunities for scholarships to play quarterback at Division II schools, but he chose to attend Hargrave to focus on his academics, get some more experience on the field and hopefully get some more attention from college programs.
"I think he made the decision that was best for him," said head coach John H. Lilly. "His grades aren't bad, but he wants them to get better.
"He'll get a lot of exposure down there. Sometimes guys from southern West Virginia get overlooked a little."
Lilly said both the football and basketball coaches worked together to help Johnson become a better player on and off the court, and now the sky is the limit.
"I think he's a Division I athlete," said Lilly, who explained that Hargrave actually recruited Johnson as a defensive back, where he recorded 41 tackles last season.
Zach Johnson (Greenbrier West): West Virginia — Johnson had offers from a number of West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference schools but had long desired to play for the state's largest school and accepted an offer as a preferred walk-on at WVU.
"I think Zach's heart was into wanting to play for West Virginia," said Greenbrier West head coach Lewis McClung. "His mom and dad support him on that, and he'll go up there and work hard and try to earn a scholarship."
McClung said Johnson will have to get bigger and stronger, but he's confident that the 6-foot-3, 265 pounder has the tools necessary to succeed at any level.
"He has great feet," said McClung. "He's a hard worker, and he's a really good student. I don't think there's been anybody who has played any more games for Greenbrier West than Zach has, and he was a first-team all-stater. He moves really well for a guy his size."
Dustyn Murphy (Nicholas County): West Virginia State — A first team All-Coalfield Conference selection as a senior, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound tight end helped The Grizzlies to a 7-4 finish and their first-ever playoff win.
Murphy will join new head coach Jon Anderson at WVSU, along with 10 other players from the Mountain State.
"We had two goals when we started out recruiting this class," said Anderson, in just his third month on the job. "No. 1, we wanted to focus on the state of West Virginia. We worked hard to introduce ourselves to the state high school coaches, and West Virginia ended up being the state where we got the most recruits from."
Juwan Rowe (Shady Spring): Alderson-Broaddus — The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Rowe was a three-year starter for the Tigers and will continue his playing career as a Battler.
"This year I came out and thought I'd go to some football camps. At the end of it, they gave me some brochures to get hooked up with some recruiting service and came out finding a good college," Rowe said.
Rowe expects to go in and battle right away for a spot on the depth chart.
"I will not redshirt. I will come out there. and there will be another tight end that I will have to earn my position from. I feel pretty good about getting playing time as a freshman," he said.
Rowe's story is seemingly made for the movies. He grew up in Welch and said he was around people who told him he'd never amount to anything or be successful. However, years later, his fortunes changed.
"About five or six years ago, I was adopted by a real good family and they helped set my mind straight," Rowe said of his adoptive parents James and Donna Meadows. "I thank them a whole lot for everything they've done for me."
Houstin Syvertson (Shady Spring): West Virginia — Syvertson was hoping for a scholarship offer but in the end decided to pursue his dream as a preferred walk-on for the Mountaineers.
"It wasn't a tough decision at all," he said. "I had other choices, but WVU is where home is and where I wanted to go."
Syvertson had taken a visit to Rutgers and had one scheduled to Robert Morris, but he canceled that trip when he decided to become a Mountaineer.
Syvertson averaged 42 yards per punt for the Tigers last year and had three punts of longer than 50 yards. But his future might not necessarily be as a specialist.
Syvertson said the WVU coaches told him they might want him to play fullback, linebacker or somewhere else. He rushed for 779 yards and eight touchdowns last season, caught 35 passes for 423 yards and led the team in tackles.
Syvertson is considering athletic training and business as possible majors, and he can't wait to get to Morgantown and get started.
"I hope to work my butt off and earn a scholarship," he said. "I need one. I want to show them that I'm worth it and they can spend that kind of money on me."
"I think he has done the right thing," added Shady Spring head coach Vince Cullicerto. "We've been talking about it for a while. They've called about him, and they even came by during the season to check on him. They showed a lot of interest."
Chad Wyrick (Princeton): Concord — Wyrick managed to play just three games last season for the Princeton football team, but he made quite an impression in a short time.
"His senior year he was plagued with injuries and he had good numbers in the three games he played," Princeton head coach Randy Peek said. "He had a highlight film just in three games so he came along.
"We would probably have been more successful if he would have been out there on the field."
Concord must feel the same way.
"I have been there (to see games) a few times," Wyrick said. "You are always look for something bigger, everybody always does, but I got hurt and I am lucky to have this opportunity."

I cannot save as a file in Ps CC since upgrading to Maverick on a MacBook Pro
Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7,
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Interestingly My Mac Pro works fine
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 14 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
On doing a save as a window opens as normal but disappears before anything can be done.
Fortunately PS 6 still works on my laptop so I can still work.
Help would be appreciated.
I have same behavior
CS5 Photoshop 12.0.4
MBP 16Gb ram 2011 build intel core i7
Photoshop launches.
Save As dialog box disappears in app. 2 seconds. All menu items grayed out.
Happens on all TIFF files, some PSD files so far.
Frequently Open File displays same behavior, though intermittantly.
Command K no response
Resetting Photoshop defaults Command Shift Alt at start, no change
Java OSX 2013-005 and java runtime installed post Mavericks
No system extensions that I'm aware of, though I can't speak for the OP.
I installed Photoshop CC to see if the behavior was consistent and it is. Dialog box disappears within 2s.
If I race to the save button, it WILL save (ie I get the default 'compatability' tickbox warning) but it's definitely happening on multiple versions of Photoshop.
I'll try another Adobe app, say Illustrator, next.
What is most troubling is that the save dialog boxes for other non adobe apps are not behaving irregularly. It's just Adobe.
UPDATE: It's only Photoshop. Illustrator was normal.
Your comment, Curt, raised an interesting issue. I'm working from an internal MBP drive right now. To get to drive permissions, I went to the drive itself in Finder, and found 'you have read only access' and it shows System as read/write, Wheel as read only, Everyone as read only. When I change anything of course it becomes 'custom'. I thought it odd that my admin account would have read only access, but I wonder if that's typical on the root drive. I've never looked at the permissions of the root before, only externals. So this may not be atypical. Regardless, it cannot be changed, without violating your conditional statement.
Also, based ont he roaringapps compatability list, the only apps (so FAR) that I have showing up are Aperture 'some problems' and then Growl and Onyx as 'don't work'
I could uninstall these, I suppose. I'm still curious what system extensions you might be referring to, Chris. I don't tend to think in terms of extensions in the post-OSX world. I have various power tool apps for tweaking the machine, but I don't know what I would point to. Most are not in use until they are launched.
One more item, for others having this problem: I found a way to circumvent the issue a moment ago: I was testing different things int he save dialog to see if anything would prevent it from prematurely closing. Save for web worked fine already. And here's what salvaged Save As: I noted the view format for the dialog box was cover flow, so I quickly changed it to List view... and it stayed open. That suggests a cover flow issue. If you switch it back to cover flow, it stays open. Once you complete the operation, then try Save As again, now it comes up with cover flow as the view default, right, as that's what it was left with on last operation... and it disappears again. Change it to list or any other view, and it stays open.
Another mac user is having same problem with permission and maverick. http://forums.adobe.com/community/bridge. Like I said don't know what custom access is but might google it.
ANY system extensions or utilities you have running, especially anything that shows up in the system prefs panel, or in the menu bar.
ANYthing that might interfere with another application, or with OS open/save dialogs.
Growl and Onyx have system extensions, in addition to host applications.
Even Wacom drivers have system extensions.
I have a similar error on my mac. As soon as I try to change save location on the system harddrive I get kicked out from the save dialogue. Photoshop CC used to work just fine before upgrading to Maverick.
I set the permission of all users on my install disk to read and write, but that didn't work. Luckily I have other harddrives installed and I managed to save to those.
Update: For some reason the permission change seem to have kicked in, becuase now I can save to the system drive.
Update 2: Saving to the system disk doesn't work any longer
Update 3: I noticed that I have the same problem in Illustrator... The save dialogue opens but disappears, but if I am quick and select another harddrive, then I can save.
Update 4: There seems to be something wrong with the keyboard as well, becuase it stops working every once in a while. I noticed it when I was alt tabbing between applications, all of the sudden the keyboard stops to accept commands, but afte ra while it wakes up again. AND this only happens when alt tabbing between Photoshop and Illustrator, not going between non-adobe products. Something is fishy...
Update 5: Now I have problems OPENING fles as well
Same experience here and narrowed down to cover flow (tried to resolve with tech support live chat without success). Unable to open files in PS CC if the folder is in cover flow display, just get error message. Same in 'save for web' dialogue box if the destination folder was last viewed in cover flow.
Can cover flow be disabled altogether, as a file viewing option?

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — (AP) — Police say a southern Kentucky man is dead after an attempted robbery of a Domino's Pizza.
Media report that officers were called to the Bowling Green store early Monday and spokesman Ronnie Ward said they found 51-year-old Harold Dean Johnson fatally shot outside the restaurant.
Police say the shooting occurred as the result of an attempted armed robbery after the facility closed. There were others inside the building at the time, but no one else was injured.
"We know his intentions were to get money, but we haven't determined how much, if any, was taken," Ward said.
The Daily News reports video surveillance at the store indicates the suspect is a black male, who is about 6 feet tall.
Police said they have no suspects and are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call Crime Stoppers at 270-781-CLUE.
Michelle Crowe, who lives near the scene of the shooting, said violence in the area is unusual.
"This is a pretty peaceful neighborhood," Crowe said. "There's never been anything like this . The most anybody ever does is use the Wi-Fi at the Laundromat."

Eruzione Still Believes
by Paul on 01/19/06 at 12:55 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Sports Illustrated,
Do you believe in Life After Miracles? Ask Mike Eruzione, the captain of the 1980 U.S. hockey team, which pulled off the greatest upset in Olympic history. Eruzione laughs about the wave he has ridden since that day. In a typical year he makes between 40 to 60 appearances before corporate entities and charities. He gets paid to play golf, watch sporting events, eat, wave and tell people his story as if he were reliving it for the first time in 25 years.continued

Islander Candidates
by Paul on 01/19/06 at 12:46 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Alan Hahn of Newsday,
One candidate who is believed to have already made contact with the Islanders is Syosset native John Weisbrod, who is currently a Northeast-based pro scout for the Dallas Stars. Weisbrod not only has a connection to Lamoriello, which is enough of a resume-booster, but also has close ties to Carolina Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette. And, according to several persons with knowledge of the situation, that is the foundation of a second dream scenario for the Islanders. If Steve Tambellini and Brent Sutter don't work out as a GM/coach tandem, another option is Weisbrod as GM and Laviolette possibly being lured back to Long Island as coach and director of player personnel.read on

Bure Being Compared To Gretzky

from Reuters,
A serious knee injury forced the perennial National Hockey League (NHL) All-Star to retire last year, ending his dream of winning Olympic gold as a player, but he now hopes to lead Russia to victory at next month's Winter Games in Turin as general manager. "When I was growing up, playing in the Olympics was the ultimate goal," Bure told Reuters in an interview. For us the Olympics were the biggest thing in sports and certainly in hockey. Nobody knew the Stanley Cup even existed. We were all following the Soviet national team and dreaming of becoming the next Boris Mikhailov or Valery Kharlamov," he said.read on

Forget for a moment what you think of Sid the kid. You may be among those who thinks Crosby is a precocious, petulant prima dona with a bad temper, or you may be in the group who believes he's an ultra-competitive superstar franchise player with dynamic qualities. What matters right now, though, is what happened on Monday night when the Vancouver Canucks ran roughshod over Crosby every chance they got and what happened was nothing.read on

Calling Out The Kings
by Paul on 01/18/06 at 08:34 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Kara Yorio of the Sporting News,
The Kings organization simply didn't do its job during the lockout. Not general manager Dave Taylor nor coach Andy Murray. Not the entire scouting unit. This team didn't need to be looking for goalies or monitoring the progress of prospects. It needed to be calling in witches or exorcists -- curse breakers of any kind -- to address the club's most serious concern from the previous two seasons: an unimaginable run of injuries. Certainly, Taylor and Murray probably believed it would stop. After all, how much bad luck could one team have?continued

"I was frustrated because I wasn't playing to my strengths. Team Finland would probably categorize me as an offensive-minded defenseman and, when the points weren't there, they didn't pick me."more...bottom of the article...

from Harris Interactive,
Professional football continues to surge in popularity as one-third (33%) of U.S. adults who follow at least one sport say it is their favorite sport. This is up three points from last year. Baseball slips slightly again this year, dropping to 14 percent, down one point from last year. Coming close on the heels of baseball is college football (13%) followed by auto racing (11%). While both of these have seen a rise in the past year, racing is up four points this year, most likely as a result of NASCAR's increasing popularity.see the results...hockey (5%) followed auto racing but is on the rise...

5 Things for the Minnesota Vikings to Improve by Next Week
By Matt Leirdahl ,
The Minnesota Vikings' 24-17 loss to the San Diego Chargers in week one was not all bad. There were definitely glimmers of hope.
The Vikings only lost by seven and seemed to be in control of the game for the entire first half and part of the second.
Many of the problems from the game were due to the coaching staff. This is understandable due to the fact that it is a new regime. Hopefully, they can learn from their mistakes.
Here are five things that the Vikings need to improve before next week's game against the Buccaneers.
It's pitiful to only throw for 28 yards in a NFL game. However, unlike games past, this was not a quarterback problem. It was not Donovan McNabb's best game, but it was not all his fault.
I will put the fault predominantly on the coaching staff.
Donovan McNabb only attempted 15 passes. That is incredibility low. Especially for a team that scored 17 points with a dynamic running game, it is ridiculous that there were virtually no play-action passes.
Next week, the coaching staff needs to find more creative ways to get the ball in the air. Bubble screens to Percy Harvin are not very original and are expected by the opposition.
They need to take shots downfield and the receivers need to catch the ball when it hits them in the hands.
The Wildcat Offense is designed to surprise the defense. Unfortunately, it was no surprise that the Vikings ran the Wildcat today.
The defense was ready and looked like they even prepared for it this week during practice.
In order to make effective use of Joe Webb, who is no doubt a weapon, the Vikings need to do something new, something bold. After all, fortune favors the bold.
The only team to really effectively utilize the Wildcat was the Miami Dolphins, with Ronnie Brown.
Perhaps the Vikings could line Joe Webb up at wide receiver or even running back. He has speed and he can pass if he has to.
He should not be in during every play, but if he is brought in at different positions in regular packages, he could definitely do some damage.
Minnesota was penalized nine times for 78 yards. Usually, that is not terrible, but the penalties were at the most inopportune times.
The 15-yard late hit penalty was a game killer. Also, the encroachment and offsides penalty during the same drive did not help.
At the beginning of the season, penalties are inevitable. However, it is a serious problem that needs to be addressed by next week. This, again, is a coaching problem.
The coaching staff needs to instill some more discipline in the team and hopefully this will help the team for next week.
The defense did not play terribly against the Chargers. However, there needs to be major improvements.
Getting Kevin Williams back from injury will help, but the defensive tackles need to play better and get a better rush on the quarterback.
The defensive ends played great, putting pressure on Philip Rivers, but there was virtually nothing from the tackles.
The Vikings need to implement more creative blitzes to get more pressure on the quarterbacks from positions like cornerback.
Another thing that plagued the Vikings during week one was running back receptions.
The corners played great, but the Vikings should get away from the zone defense and go to more of a man, where players can't get out into open space like Mike Tolbert was able to do.
The Vikings held the lead for most of the game. Then things fell apart. In the last Charger's drive, there were three costly penalties, one for 15 yards.
The Vikings did not have the passing game going in the first half and they did not make adjustments at halftime to fix those issues.
The Vikings need to learn to stay consistant throughout the game and finish when the fourth quarter comes around. Again, I will attribute this to the coaching staff.
Hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes to get ready for next week.

Question from TuccessfulSroll
Asked: 3 years ago
How do I get 100 coins in Dire, Dire Docks?
I keep trying to get the 100 coin star, but every time I try, I can only find 88 coins in the level.
Top Voted Answer
From: MI4_REAL 3 years ago
You have to collect the first star before you try to find 100 coins, as the level only has 106. You must do this so you can collect the 8 red coins by using the moving poles in the room where Bowsers sub used to be.
The moving poles only appear on the level when you select future stars. They will not appear if you select star "1" when entering the stage.

The laptop has a tendency to:
1. pick a bogus IP address
2. choose wireless, despite having a USB ethernet device
I wouldn't have plugged in an ethernet device just for decoration. Obviously I expect to use it. If I wanted wireless, I'd have not plugged in the ethernet device. If the laptop sees an ethernet device, then there is only one reasonable assumption: the user expects to use ethernet.
Picking a bogus IP address is never useful. It just gets in the way of getting a real one. I suspect that this happens when the DHCP server is slow to respond. Once I get the bogus address, there is no reasonable way to recover. I can cut power to the laptop, forcing things to start over, but that is not reasonable.

Ganguly praises Tendulkar for gutsy knock
Kolkata, Dec 5 (IANS) Lauding master batsman Sachin Tendulkar for a "gutsy" innings on day one of the Eden Gardens cricket Test against England, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly Wednesday said the knock would give him the platform to play well in subsequent essays.
"Tendulkar may not have got a hundred, but he played well. It may not be one of his most fluent knocks, but it was a gutsy innings," said Ganguly.
Tendulkar struck 76, his first half century since an early January Test match against Australia at Sidney.
"The knock shows he is regaining confidence," he said.
However, Ganguly said while English spinners posed no problems for Tendulkar, he could have played the fast bowling better.
"He did not use his feet well to play (pacer) James Anderson," he said.

Tobaccos Steven Books - Grandfather's Own Blend
Grandfather's Own Blend is a great early morning
smoke, after (or with) that first cup of the day,
smoked around the family, friends or around town
because of it's great room note. This aromatic was
blended for my grandfather 45 years ago and was
among my first blends. It has the taste of exotic
Brazilian Cocoa, with a touch of vanilla and brown
sugar, and it makes this burley and virginia blend
an even balanced and great everyday smoke.

The combination of quality tobacco perfectly balanced with the cocoa/vanilla flavors elevate this blend above all other aromatics, even Classic Burley Kake. It burns evenly top to bottom in every pipe I have smoked it in from cob to Kirsten. The sweetness is never cloying, the flavors diminish only slightly to reveal more tobacco taste near the bottom of the bowl. This is the best by far of its kind.

I am one of the few on TobaccoReviews lucky enough to live close enough Steven Brooks House of Calabash to frequent his shop. Of all his aromatics this is my favorite. You can tell he uses quality leaf in his blends. Grandfather's Own is a tobacco forward blend with just enough something extra to satisfy a sweet tooth with out overpowering the quality leaf. It burns very cool and dry. The flavor is consistent from top to bottom with NO goupy aromatic left overs.

Wow! Now I'm not typically an aromatic smoker but I've been wanting to sample a few noteworthy ones to see what all the fuss is about and I have to admit, I don't know how anyone could make a better aromatic than Steve Books' Grandfather's Own. Seriously. I see it as the quintessential aromatic.
Remember when you were a kid and you'd smell the aroma of an adult (maybe your father, grandfather, uncle, teacher, professor, etc) smoking a pipe and you fell in love with that scent? I know I did. And Steve recreated something that is literally identical to that scent. This blend is so aptly named. "Grandfather's" tastes exactly what the name suggests. It tastes like something out of a bygone era, a blend that was smoked decades ago but has since been lost in the vast consumerism and commercialism of today's processed and mass-produced world. The taste and aroma are so nostalgic and antiquated. You can tell is was made by a master blender with a small shop in Oregon and not by some mega-corporation like Altadis.
It's a mellow aromatic. Smells a bit like Christmas to me. Cocoa, vanilla, brown sugar, and even a hint of maple. No tongue bite at all, burns perfectly. And the room note!! Oh baby the room note!! It's so pleasant my wife even lets me occasionally smoke it indoors in the LIVING ROOM!!! All my other blends, especially my English blends, are off limits no questions asked. But Steve's Grandfather's Own is welcomed!! That says a lot about how wonderful this blend smells when lit up. And guess what, it tastes just as good as it smells.
Well done, Steve. I can't wait to try all your other blends.
By the way, Steve's store, "House of Calabash" in downtown Oregon City, Oregon, is AWESOME!!! Like stepping into an entirely different era. Check out his website too if you'd like to read about Steve's history or see what blends he's currently offering. A little pricier than the mass produced stuff and WELL worth it. I'll be a customer of Steve's for as long as he's mixing tobaccos together.

Looks and smells like Lane's 1Q in the bag, a vanilla aroma with basic black and brown color. But there the similarity ends. The flavors mentioned, cocoa, brown sugar and vanilla, are present in the taste but this is a lightly sweet blend with no heavy syrup. And this smokes as dry as any non-aromatic, although it feels wet in the bag. I found that I didn't need to dry it at all.
I noticed a hint of Mr Books' "old-timey" flavors, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he has sprinkled some of his 45 year old burley into this mix. The thing with basic aromatic blends is that they usually taste more like the flavoring, smoke wet and lose their flavor down the bowl. This exhibits none of those traditional characteristics, although it does lose a touch of the aromatic flavor. But generally when that happens with standard aros, the flavor becomes bitter because less than stellar tobacco is used. Not so here. This may be the finest aromatic in existence, and certainly the finest I've ever smoked. If you're an aro fan, this should be on your short list. If you're not an aro fan but want to find the best of that genre, this is it. A glorious achievement for Steven Books!

I don't smoke many aromatics, but this offering from Mr. Books was a welcome change of pace. The pouch aroma was sweet but still smelled like tobacco, unlike some aromatics I've smoked. Upon smoking, it created great plumes of pleasant smoke that reminded me of my mom baking cookies as a kid. The taste wasn't syrupy but sweet and quite pleasant. It burned to a nice grey ash all the way to the bottom.
This is an aromatic worth trying.
Soli Deo gloria!

I recently received some of this blend from Mr. Books for our pipe club. The tobacco itself is of perfect consistency, just the right amount of moisture. The description given says a taste of Cocoa and this is right on. It isn't overpowering though, on the contrary, it is more of an aftertaste that clings to the roof of your mouth and is very relaxing. It is sweet, but not overly so, the sweetness is subtle but adds a richness that makes one want to drink a cup of cocoa or coffee while smoking. Many of our club members that were smoking it for the first time wished that they had some coffee right then, and after were sure to try that combination. I know we will be ordering more of this from Mr. Books.

I smoke everything from strong ropes and plugs to English's, vapers and aromatics, as good tobacco always stands out regardless of the type. This is a good tobacco. Grandfather's Own feels a bit more cased to the touch than the other Books aromatics. However, I find it an interesting aromatic because it has many of the typical flavors found in aromatics, but it is mildly sweet verses similar aromatics that tend to be much sweeter. It's a quality of this blend that I really enjoy. The flavor is pretty steady throughout the bowl, and the sweetness does dissipate some, but it doesn't get bitter. The base tobacco is of high quality which is a "must" for me as many aro's are soaked with flavors and sugars that mask a poorer quality base tobacco. If you are a fan of aromatic flavors like cocoa, vanilla etc. but are looking for something a little less sweet, Grandfather's Own is a good call. Three and a half stars.
Update: I have grown to love this blend. I liked it a lot after the two ounces my review was based on, but now it's the only aromatic in my daily rotation filled with non aromatic blends. Great stuff!

Had a bowl of this the other day. I'm not a big aromatic connoisseur and this is only a one pipe review so it doesn't hold a lot of weight. It smoked a bit hot as aromatics are prone to do. I went as easy as I could but it still had a wee bit of bite. It has a pleasant flavor with a sweet finish. The flavoring was pretty mild so I'm not sure how aromatic connoisseur would take to it. The Burley nor the Virginia seemed to stand out (again I only had one bowl). I have to give it 2 stars. This is coming from a guy who prefers Cigar and Balkan blends. An aromatic is going to have to be really damn good to get 3 stars from me. For example, I can't stand Boswell's Berry Cobbler (1 star for me) but most people love that stuff as it maintains a 4 star rating. I would much prefer this over that. On the other hand, I find Cornell & Diehl's Autumn Evening to be a really nice aromatic smoke and wouldn't put the two in the same league. For those of you who love the aromatics, before you judge, wait for a review by an aromatic connoisseur.

Geraldine is the center of a huge wheat-producing region. It was named for Almira Geraldine Rockefeller (or perhaps her daughter, Ethel Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge), the wife of William Rockefeller, who was the director of the Milwaukee Railroad, which ran through the town; the name was bestowed with the friendly sanction of the Rockefeller family. It had no particular significance to the town. (from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
The Geraldine Milwaukee Depot, built in 1913, is a great example of one of America's small-town, turn-of-the-century wooden depots. It has a unique design and was given special attention since the town's namesake, Geraldine Rockefeller, was the daughter of the principal Milwaukee stockholder, William A. Rockefeller. The exterior has been fully restored, and the building is located on its original site next to the still active short-line Central Montana Railroad. Displays document the role of railroad played in developing the large agricultural area, and include a freight room and ticket/express office.
Square Butte, near Geraldine, has been designated an Outstanding Natural Area. The flat-topped butte juts 2,400 feet above the surrounding plains. With its soaring buttresses, spires, and pinnacles it is a compelling and imposing site. Scenic Square Butte has exceptional wildlife values with a herd of about 80 mountain goats that can be seen consistently on top. The butte's steep cliffs provide outstanding nesting habitat for raptors.

M.Eng. in Design and Development for Automotive and Mechanical Engineering
State-of-the-art simultaneous engineering requires modern engineers with a networked knowledge in the core and intersection areas of design, development, simulation and production technology. Furthermore, engineers need the ability to communicate and act confidently in the international / intercultural environment of modern industry. The MEng in Design and Development in Automotive and Mechanical Engineering at the Esslingen University of Applied Sciences focuses on these requirements.
The learning approach in the master's program is both international and interdisciplinary. Interacting in teams of different cultures, languages and disciplines, students create new sources of synergy and productivity and at the same time acquire new skills. Here, all faculties of business and engineering work side by side to share knowledge and achieve common goals.
The study program begins in September of each year: a master's degree can be achieved after the standard study period of three semesters (1,5 years). The language of instruction in all lectures is English. The DDM program was accredited in 2007 by ASIIN
