Start a lean manufacturing initiative by focusing on safety
Lean manufacturing can begin by focusing safety, according to Robert Hafey, president, RBH Consulting LLC. Hafey, speaking at IMTS - The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2010 conference, talked about "Transforming Your Safety Culture with Lean Management" and shared examples on integrating lean with safety.
The easiest entry point to get going with a lean manufacturing initiative is to focus on safety, according to Robert Hafey, president, RBH Consulting LLC. Hafey, speaking at IMTS - The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2010 conference, talked about "Transforming Your Safety Culture with Lean Management."
Lean and safety personnel, put on the same team, may begin with different goals – safety staff members usually have the most concern about any situation being out of regulatory compliance.
Those working on lean initiatives readily realize that customers are most important, Hafey said, which inverts the traditional hierarchical pyramid.
Common focus for both groups, however, is people, best approached in a coaching, rather than directive, style of management. A coaching style, said Hafey, asks questions of team members, such as, "Tell me how...," "What would you do if...," and "Why is it...."
Hafey gave examples from his experiences to illustrate how to pull people into lean initiatives.
Involve those interested: A manager for a series of small cells in his manufacturing area had a passion for lean. "I asked his supervisor if he could work on lean initiatives for 30% of his time." Within five months, Hafey said, the manager had transitioned to full-time on the lean team. Asked what the manager thought about working on lean efforts, compared to quality assurance, Hafey said the manager felt he was having a greater impact in helping people improve the business.
What percentage of employees feel they're engaged in making difference? Audience members in the IMTS session guessed 3%, 10%, and 30%. A Gallop poll said 29% employees felt as if they make a difference, and 54% of respondents said they were not engaged, Hafey said.
Reach out to other teams and outside the company: Hafey, put in charge of coordinating a safety Kazan blitz, involved two team members from within the company, two from the state Workman's Compensation group, and six from other companies in the area. Purpose of the event was to improve safety by 75% in three days. Though most people were confused about the methods and mission the first day, Hafey said, by the third day, they were engaged in safety, understood the value of lean, and had a grasp of lean terminology. Among work behaviors seen and corrected: A worker stapling the bottoms of 300 boxes; standing on toes on barrel to rake; pushing boxes down conveyer, and sticking a hand in a potentially hazardous area.
He added that the Workman's Compensation representatives were particularly impressed. Hafey said the Workman's Comp personnel noted they often return to plants three months later to find that a laundry list of concerns still would not be corrected. A Kazan blitz applied to safety immediately identified and corrected hazards, he said.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö HereŌĆÖs the $6 million question: Does the pension reform proposal now in the hands of the General Assembly pull the city back from the brink of impending financial calamity? HereŌĆÖs the answer: Too soon to tell.
James B. Burns
NO. SMITHFIELD- James B. Burns, age 82, of No. Smithfield, a former district sales manager for the General Electric Company, died Tuesday, October 18, 2011 in the Philip Hulitar Inpatient Center, Providence. He was the husband of Kathleen (Toomey) Burns. Born in Woonsocket, he was the son of the late Matthew J. and Alice (Kilcline) Burns and had lived in RI for most of his life. He also lived in Simsbury, Ct for a period of time while working for General Electric. After retiring from General Electric, he worked for the former Electric Maintenance Works, Woonsocket.
Cora B. Roberts
N. SMITHFIELD- Cora B. Roberts 101, of 10 Rhodes Ave. died Monday at Landmark Medical Center. She was the wife of the late Leo T. Roberts with whom she celebrated 58 years of marriage. Born in Woonsocket the daughter of the late Alfred and Regina (Beauregard) Bergeron, she was formerly of Buell Ave, and had lived most of her life in North Smithfield. Mrs. Roberts was a bookkeeper for several area businesses including the former Grants Department Store. In her spare time she enjoyed gardening.
Rev. Frederick K. Jellison
PROVIDENCE- Rev. Frederick K. Jellison, 96, of East Street died Tuesday, October 11, 2011 at the Tockwotton Home, Providence. He was the husband of the late Ruth E. (Cummings) Jellison. They were married for over 67 years. Born in Bangor, ME, a son of the late Hosea E. and Olive I. (Doherty) Jellison, he had lived in Woonsocket for 25 years, Lincoln for 27 years, North Providence for 2 years before moving to Providence 1 years ago.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö The die is cast. A massive 200-page bill, months in the making, to radically change public employee retirement payments for everyone from the newly-hired worker to the longest-surviving pensioner was finally introduced in both the House and Senate on Tuesday, ending an extended period of public expectation and speculation.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö The state fire marshal has concluded that arson was the cause of a three-alarm fire that heavily damaged a vacant six-family house at 368 East School St. Monday night. Deputy State Fire Marshal Lt. Michael Morin of the Woonsocket Fire Department said a $5,000 reward is now offered for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator. The arson conclusion was based, in part, on where the fire started, evidence of prior illegal entry, and the fact that all utilities had been cut off, said Morin.
LINCOLN ŌĆō The playoffs for Division I begin Oct. 29-31 and Cumberland and Lincoln are right on the cusp to be among the eight teams that earn a berth into a quarterfinal game. The neighboring rivals battled together on Tuesday afternoon in a key Div. I-B matchup and it was the host Lions that kept up their last-season momentum en route to a 3-0 decision over the Clippers.
PROVIDENCE --- St. Raphael AcademyŌĆÖs home field at the McKinnon-Alves Complex promises to be buzzing with fans lined up and down its sidelines tonight when the Saints host Rogers High in a 5:30 p.m. contest and senior standout Kytresa Ivey-Jones takes aim at a coveted milestone only a select few high school players ever reach.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Federal prosecutors are asking an appeals court for extra time to seek a full court review of a decision allowing Jason Pleau to remain in state custody to avoid a possible death penalty in connection with the robbery and murder of a gas station manager from Lincoln. U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha wants the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston to give prosecutors until Nov. 23, about two weeks longer than normal, to appeal the ruling.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö Advocates for small business and economic development from around the region shared some blunt talk about whatŌĆÖs missing from the federal governmentŌĆÖs job-growth policy yesterday with someone they hope can make a difference ŌĆō U.S. Treasurer Rosa ŌĆ£RosieŌĆØ Rios. A guest of U.S. Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), the woman whose signature appears on new paper money is a member of President Barack ObamaŌĆÖs Business Council and a senior adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

The SkyBridge Multi-Adviser Hedge Fund Portfolios, previously known as Citigroup Alternative Investments Multi-Adviser Hedge Fund Portfolios, seems to be a fund in transition set to launch what is expected to be a legacy-free version under the name SkyBridge GII Fund. Also in the pipeline, according to a Form D filed on 28 November 2011, is the SkyBridge Quantitative Equity Driven Fund, classified as a pooled investment fund likely to take advantage of the strategy-specific needs that increasing customisation will bring.
The existing $1.78 billion registered investment company FoHF, managed by SkyBridge Capital II, is the largest RIC available for sale in the US. General Motors' $6.6 billion RIC is run as a registered FoHF for its internal audience. For the year ending 31 March 2011, Skybridge's growth rate was among the highest at 85.9% (from $666 million to $1.24 billion in one year). For the period the fund hit stellar...

Oxygen Kills 'All My Babies' Mamas' Project
Network offers no reason for halting production, in the wake of public disapproval
The folks at cable's Oxygen got an earful of criticism after announcing plans for a reality special about Atlanta rapper Shawty Lo and his 11 children with 10 different women. Now, in a statement issued Tuesday, Oxygen Media says it is killing its "All My Babies' Mamas" project, after having "reviewed casting." The network did not offer any specific reason for the cancellation. "All My Babies' Mamas" was the subject of intense public outcry, as critics accused the network of peddling unflattering stereotypes of African Americans. Oxygen denied that was their aim in previous statements. At least one online petition calling for Oxygen to shut down the production had collected more than 37,000 signatures. (Associated Press)

Originally published: 08.28.12 by HVACR Business Staff
Osaka, Japan-based Daikin Industries has agreed to acquire Goodman Global Group Inc. for U.S.$3.7 billion, a transaction that is expected to be final in the fourth quarter of this year pending regulatory approval.
Daikin, Goodman, and Goodman's major shareholder, Hellman & Friedman LLC, have signed a definitive agreement today regarding the acquisition. Daikin will purchase 100% of Goodman's stock.

Attack helicopters have become a common sight in the skies over Tulsa, as U.S. Army and Army National Guard units head west for annual training.
Many of the aircraft belong to the 1-135th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion based at Whiteman Air Force Base, located about an hour east of Kansas City.
The helicopters are Boeing AH-64D Apaches. They're two-seaters, with a pilot in the back seat and a co-pilot/gunner in the front.
They're very different from the Black Hawk transport helicopters based near Tulsa International Airport.
According to Major John Martin, Acting Administrative Officer for the 35th Combat Aviation Brigade, the choppers are heading to Boise, Idaho where they'll use a gunnery range to sharpen their skills.
It's a four-day trip that requires frequent stops for fuel, with Tulsa being the first one. The crews are avoiding the bad weather in the Rocky Mountains, so they loop around to the south which brings them right to Tulsa.
"We love to stop in Tulsa for fuel," said Major Martin.
The Apaches can be an impressive sight during the trip, because they usually fly in groups of four or five. Major Martin says they fly together in case one has a problem.
Details about the Boeing AH-64 Helicopter.
They get about two and a half hours of flight on a tank of gas, so that means three stops a day on the trip.
"It's like driving in a car, you're ready to be done for the day and get out," Major Martin said.
Some of the Apaches seen over Tulsa this week are probably from other units heading to the same gunnery range.
Major Martin says Apaches from the Whiteman unit will be flying over Tulsa again on the way back home in 25 to 30 days.

If Proposition C had been approved, it would have made it a city policy that the city should "explore and facilitate the acquisition of Alcatraz Island from the United States Government to transform it into a Global Peace Center".
Election results
Proposition C | ||||
Result | Votes | Percentage | ||
No | 177,301 | 71.91% | ||
Yes | 69,251 | 28.09% |
- These final, certified, election results are from the San Francisco elections office.
Ballot question
The question on the ballot:
Proposition C: "Shall it be City policy that the City should explore and facilitate the acquisition of Alcatraz Island from the United States Government to transform it into a Global Peace Center?" |
Path to the ballot
The San Francisco Department of Elections certified on August 23, 2007 that Proposition C had qualified for the ballot because at least 10,396 valid signatures were submitted to that end. 10,396 was the number of signatures required for certification because it was 5% of the total number of voters cast for Mayor in 2003.

My son is 15 months old and is
eating mud
. Is it normal? What should I do?
Children are naturally curious and tend to explore their surroundings, often putting things into their mouth. However, if your son is perpetually eating mud or other non-food items like dirt, paint chips, plaster, chalk, corn starch, ash, rust, soap, sand paper, etc; then your child is suffering from an eating disorder called as "Pica". Always consult your doctor if your child is suffering from pica.
Is pica very common in children?
Pica is quite common in children. As many as 10 to 20% of children may suffer from pica at some point in time till they reach adulthood. It is found more common in children with
, mental retardation or developmental problems (e.g. autism). Surprisingly, lot of adults also suffer from pica. Pregnant women may particularly crave for non-edible items during pregnancy. Pica is also common in people who want to diet as they may try to decrease their hunger craving with low-calorie and non-food substances.
What is the
cause of pica
Though, the specific cause of pica is unknown, there are a lot of theories prevalent trying to explain its cause. Most commonly it is suspected that emotional disturbance and deficiencies of iron or zinc may lead to this condition (However, it is controversial whether iron deficiency leads to pica or pica leads to iron deficiency).
Does pica lead to any
health complications
Continued consumption of non-food items may lead to problems like
- Worm and parasitic infestation
- Intestinal obstruction or perforation
- Lead poisoning.
How do I know whether my son who is eating paint has iron deficiency?
If pica is suspected, your son may have signs of iron deficiency like pallor (pale skin), spooning of nails, irritation, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc. Finally, checking your son's blood may help to determine if he is iron deficient.
What is the
treatment for pica
The treatment for pica is first and foremost a secure and stable family structure. Your child will have to be taught about edible and non- edible food substances. Your doctor may prescribe iron supplements and deworming agents. If your child is suspected to have been exposed to a contaminated substance like lead, lead screening may be required.
If after treatment, the craving subsides, is further treatment required?
If your child stops consuming non-food items, further treatment may not be required in the future.

As time goes on and declines of varying magnitude come and go you may be inclined to trade around these declines. If you do there will be some declines that you trade well, some that you trade poorly and some that you miss altogether.
The accompanying chart shows shows that coming off the bottom from last week that emerging markets, as measured by iShares MSCI Emerging Market (EEM), and materials, as measured by WisdomTree International Basic Materials (DBN), have come back significantly faster than the S&P 500.
Neither of these funds are all the way back, not even close, but the extra decline felt before is now being made up with extra snapback. If the market indeed takes back essentially all of what it gave up earlier this month it makes sense to think that these other areas will take back most of their respective declines as well.
To be clear this post is not about predicting what comes next. The point is to create some context around fast declines and what happens if you miss them or maybe to point out that some folks will be better off not trading them. A recurring point on this site has been that fast declines are usually followed by fast snapbacks which is what we have had so far. That is not to say that a slow decline may not be next because some sort of decline could be the next thing but panicking into fast declines is the wrong trade because there is some snapback.
Anyone who struggled emotionally earlier in the month with their portfolio might want to think about some changes now before or in case the market panics again. I have no trade to make in that context but some folks might.

Thanks, Roger. In the web world too many experts shill the hype and cherry-pick the data. You simply call it from experience. John

Indeed, Roger. I did a lot of buying during the decline and I'm now sitting on some cushion thanks to the snap back. Did I know it was going to snap back? Nope. I took the risk while everyone was fearful. I could've just as easily had my ass handed to me. Also, buying during that fearful time was a difficult thing to do. There are no sure things, only probabilities. You need to have a plan either way the trade goes.

I wouldn't bet the farm on this, but when the markets were really declining the $ went up. Now, that they are steadier, the $ is declining almost in tandem with the pace of the advance in equities.
I suppose it all makes sense in a flight to safety, but I just foiund it interesting.

I think this is an excellent point to unload part of your portfolio if you are over weight equities. Next week may have a better day, but we should be going back down soon.

This is not looking good. Paraphrased quote below
growth in U.S. private financial debt is outpacing GDP growth, 8.7% to 1.5%
Who ever wrote the above actually should not have used real GDP growth but year over year including inflation for the comparison , but still inflation is only running around 3%
Bottom line is individuals debt is high and growing faster than GDP (or unsustainable)
The Fed will most likely ease but I think they are going to want a wash out of individual debt to wash the slate clean. In other words lots of foreclosures and bankruptcies are coming.
This may be painful but somebody has to clean up Greenspans easy money credit expansion.
The solution can not always be lower the Fed funds rate and pile more debt on the consumer to avoid a recession. Consumers eventually have to pay for things. If we do not do it now it will be worse in a few years from now.
I would get ready for decreased earnings by corporations which will make the low P/E multiples soar in coming quarters or stock prices fall significantly or both. - 12:16 PM

And, when would you buy back? If one didn't sell at the first spike in July, which means doing extremely good timing, then there is increased risk of whipsaw damage. A lot of passion on each side of the bull-bear argument. And, actually, find both very convincing. Since the mkt is rising as I write, the bull view looks better...which is that the financial mkts are now bigger than the all mighty u.s. consumer. It's about sustanined global growth. While I do not manage my portfolio as Roger does, he is one of the few who share a more important process....PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT. Sorry for yelling. - 12:52 PM

"And, when would you buy back?"
I am expecting a significant decline so the length and depth are difficult to predict at this time. I do not like mechanical rules but for those that like them you could wait for the decline to become obvious to all and then wait for the S&P to break above its 200 dma. I just flipped Rogers selling rule and added the obvious decline because you might get whip sawed here for a while (I do not know).
The initial clues to the next bull market are difficult to predict, but I hope to buy back in before the 200 dma
You may feel better on this rally, but look at the volume of trades during the decline versus this rally. Much less volume on the rally.
I did sell in July, but This rally does not look like a bad exit point either IMO.
Buy and hold is not a horrible strategy. I use it a lot my self. I just do not like it for major declines. Last time I sold everything was 2001. Bubbles are no fun on the way down. Housing and associated credit bubble seem very real and very nasty to me, but you are entitled to do as you please. - 1:52 PM

This, by Ken Fisher at Market Minder:
"The lightning-swift shifts in short-term sentiment are why you should never, ever try to time short-term moves. You cannot predict what will overwhelm investors next, nor can anyone guess when mood will shift again. (Which is why surviving as a profitable day trader requires an absurd amount of luck, a masochistic god complex, and an understanding or absent spouse, or alternatively, a Faustian deal of some sort.)" - 4:06 PM

I still believe though that if the US sneezes, the global market gets a cold. Remember back in February when China's market went down, most all other global markets followed suit. Just think how they will react to a US recession.
Mark Gilbert at Bloomberg's commented: "At least the ridiculous claims that the subprime crisis is confined to the U.S. mortgage market have subsided."
Well, not with everyone on this blog I suppose. - 6:53 PM

Wih the election cyccle being compressed, I do not see the Fed doing anything to induce a recession - or to rock the boat significantly one way or the other.
Sub-prime will be on the ash heap of history in a few months. The challenge is to think ahead as to what the next crisis will be which will have an impact on the 2008 elections.
I have been buying securities more than selling - and adding to my physical real estate holdings on a cash basis. - 8:25 PM

Magic Wands: Lockout Day 3
Video Vault:
1) Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel writes the NBA's lockout really does not begin until players start missing paychecks on November 15 or so.
2) Matt Moore of Pro Basketball Talk wonders if the players can form their own league during a lockout.
3) The writers at Eye-On Basketball notes other things the NBA needs to fix after the lockout ends.
4) Cleveland's Antawn Jamison said the players are much more prepared for this year's lockout than they were in 1998. That might mean we are in for a longer battle.
5) Kobe Bryant may be leading a barnstorming player tour of China if the league does indeed lockout.

I wanted something to push the piston in on a disc brake caliper. I bought nuts and washers that I use with the included bolts to attach to the caliper through the pad alignment holes. In effect it is trying to pull the caliper off the piston. It comes in a plastic package not very convenient for storage. I went to considerable trouble to create a storage container using a plastic drawer from a tool box with the instructions taped under the lid but I still end up leaving it loose because to store it would mean unscrewing the long bolt. You can also use this to pull steering wheels.

Craftsman Harmonic Balancer Puller was purchased to work on a project car, but wound up being used more in my shop on small engine repairs than on auto repairs. It worked great on my project car when I used it while working on a 305HP Chevy engine. I quickly discovered it had many uses for me inside of my shop too. I use it to help remove some flyhweels, rusted blade adapters below deck on pushmowers. Removing pulleys off of transaxles and deck spindles. It also helped remove steering wheels from lawn tractors. I have even used it to help remove the back wheels off of rusted rims on lawn tractors. So, I purchased this for one job, I quicklly discovered that it had many many more duties it was capable of handling. I would recommend this tool for your tool boxes as it is one tough little item and will lasts for many jobs to come.

This hamonic balancer comes with bolts and other pieces to distribute the load pressure from the bolt in one area, but it does not come in a case that can be reused. But other than no case, it appears to be of great quality.

I've been trying to cut back on the amount of foreign goods that I buy. When I finally gave up on finding my import puller that I lost(had came in a project car I bought) I went on a hunt for a USA Made Puller. The tool truck brands were out due to price, I looked for a used on at swap meets and never found one. I refused to buy one from **************, and decided to pull the trigger on the craftsman figuring it was imported but warranty would be easy if needed. I picked it up in store and it's Made in USA according to the packaging. The picture online isn't current, it comes with two pointed heads not the flat swivel as shown. The puller body is a bit bulky compared to the one in the picture but I'd rather have function over form. Overall it seems very well built and I'm happy that I only paid $3 more than the HF junk.

I have used this puller on several engines. It is very easy to fit onto the crank damper pulley using the supplied set screws-the three different thread sets fitted the US, Euro and Jap manufactured cars on which I was working. The tool seems to be well made and strong, which is very important as these pulleys generally are a tight fit on the crank! The puller works on steering wheels also. A good buy!

Students who are survivors of sexual assault are strongly encouraged to report the assault. To report an assault to the University Police Division (non-emergency), please call (614) 292-2121. Non-emergency contact information for other local police agencies include: Columbus Police Division, (614) 645-4545; Clinton Township Police Department, (614) 471-1479; Upper Arlington Police Division, (614) 583-5150; and Grandview Heights Police, (614) 488-7901.
In an emergency, please dial 9-1-1.
Reporting an assault to the University Police or other law enforcement or campus security authorities does not require filing criminal charges, but it does allow all support systems to be put in place for the survivor. Filing a police report will provide the opportunity for collection of evidence helpful in prosecution and will allow the student to be connected with the appropriate support and medical resources.
Reporting is best done as soon as possible after the assault, but it may be done at any time. Students should make their report to the University Police Division and/or to Student Life unit: Student Conduct, University Housing, or to Sexual Violence and Support (SVES) in the Student Wellness Center. The university will assist students who report sexual assault in obtaining medical support and information regarding available legal and judicial resources as well as counseling and support services. The university will also assist students in notifying the University Police or other local police if the student requests the assistance of law enforcement. If requested by the survivor, and if reasonably available, the university will assist the survivor in changing his/her academic or living situation after the alleged assault. University offices, such as the Student Advocacy Center and University Housing, can, upon request, assist the survivor with exploring options to address academic, housing and financial concerns. Options may include, but are not limited to, academic/financial aid guidance and discussion of options, assistance in withdrawing from classes or adjusting academic schedule, transitioning the survivor into another residence facility, or emergency housing.
Students who choose to notify the police should be aware of the importance of the immediacy of reporting the incident and the importance of preserving physical evidence at the assault scene as well as on the person assaulted. If possible, a victim of sexual assault should not wash, douche, use the toilet, or change clothing prior to a medical/legal examination. The gathering of physical evidence can provide important evidence and support of criminal charges leading to a successful prosecution.
Students who are reporting an immediate assault should be accompanied to a health care facility of their choice to allow for collection of evidence and treatment. If a sexual assault victim chooses to report the incident days, weeks, or even months after the assault, important support systems are still available and can be arranged; however, criminal investigations become much more difficult.
Sexual assaults for which individuals seek medical treatment must be reported to the appropriate police agency by health care officials. However, as noted above, students are not required to file a police report.
Students have the right to a fair disciplinary process through Student Conduct. Procedural requirements are not as formal as those existing in the courts of law. Students should contact the Student Conduct for detailed information regarding the process. To ensure fairness, the following procedures apply:
Students who are survivors of sexual assault have the right to initiate a criminal investigation and possible prosecution of an assailant under criminal law as well as initiate the disciplinary process through the University Conduct system. Survivors will be assisted by Student Conduct in learning about the options for reporting sexual assault to the university as well as University Police.
In addition to legal and disciplinary action, the victim of sexual assault may consider retaining a private attorney for the purpose of filing a civil action for the recovery of damages.
Sexual violence includes sexual assault (including acquaintance rape), intimate partner/dating/domestic abuse & violence, stalking and sexual harassment. Support for those who have experienced sexual violence is available on the main campus through the Sexual Violence and Support Program (SVES).
The Sexual Assault Response Network of Central Ohio (SARNCO) offers a 24-hour rape helpline that can provide callers with emotional support, sexual assault information, and community referrals. The helpline number is (614) 267-7020. SARNCO also provides rape patient advocates in the emergency departments of Grant/Riverside Hospitals as well as long-term advocacy, resources and sexual violence prevention programs. For additional program information, please call SARNCO's business line at (614) 566-4414.
The responsibility for tracking persons in Ohio who have been designated as Sex Offenders is assigned to the sheriffs of the various counties. The following websites contain information regarding registered sex offenders for geographic areas covered by this report.

On some websites, like CNN shown in the video above, when I hit "back" to return to the previous page, instead of getting the previous page I get a version of the previous page that's from some time in the past, as much as a day or so. I've also had this happen on sites like Reddit. Unless Apple included highly advanced tachyon-based time travel functionality in iOS 5, there's some problem between the web server, the cache, mobile Safari, and my eyes that's conspiring to give me pages from the past.
You get an older version of the web page you just left.
That gets Safari to render the page again. You can also clear the cache. That seems to alleviate the problem, at least for a while.
I haven't tried this in iOS 5.0.1 yet and it may well be fixed in that build, otherwise here's hoping Apple fixes it soon.
I believe you meant to type "iOS 5.0.1" rather than "iOS 5.1" because the latter doesn't exist, yet.
I've seen this behavior when browsing the forums here on iOS 5 Safari. Look at a new post then hit the back button and the post you're looking at isn't in the list! The strange thing is I didn't notice this behavior until yesterday and I've been using iOS 5 for several weeks now.
Couldn't replicate the "bug." Everything worked normally on my ipad. Maybe the problem is on your end.
Couldn't replicate the "bug." Everything worked normally on my ipad. Maybe the problem is on your end.
This happens to me with tipb all the time on my 4S on iOS 5. Happened with my old 3GS on ios 4 as well.
Noticed this problem in the first week of upgrading to ios 5. Thought it was limited to my unit only. True, reloading the page is the best solution
That happens to me on the TiPB page.
This page is also the only place it has happened to me. Also while posting this comment I received a text and safari crashed for the first time since iOS 3.x
This bug isn't new at all. I've gotten it since before 4.0, though I haven't seen it in a while. Might be that one of the 4.x's fixed it and 5.0 brought it back?
I've noticed this several times since upgrading original iPad to iOS 5. So far I haven't seen it on my iPhone 4S, perhaps because I do less browsing on it. Despite others saying it's been around since 4.x I've never seen it prior to 5.0.
I've had same problem. Thought it was just me thanks Anthony hope it's fixed by Apple. I also have problem in google search. After google gives me search results and I click on one of them and nothing happens. I have to open in safari to get results.
5.0.1 Still the same problem, also when u make a web app it never updates the images. When i delete all my images and check my webapp it still has all the images on it. This also means it never update the images like the app logo ...
I hope they fix this fast!
This has been appending to me on my iPad 1 since ios5 update. Ios5.01 did not fix. I did not have this issue before iOS 5. I did a complete wipe of iPad thought it was fixed for awhile (about 10 days) but its loading cached pages again. Also, I have blank calendar pages upon opening of Calendar. Crashes haven't begun yet but I'm not hopeful. iOS 5 really sucks.
Same here , which keep on breaking mysite. using back button a page is never reloaded from server. good for simple website, but i think this is silly bug and hard to fix.
I have the same issue with iOS 5.1.1. I have eLearning pages that I created and the "main" pages have modal windows to show videos. Everything works as expected in IE8/9, FF, Chrome Safari, and Opera except for using the back button on the iPad. When "main" page is returned to via the back button, it's modal window video is layered on top of the page, rather than being hidden until called for.
All other browsers on both PC and Mac work fine, the video is not visible when the back button is used, only on the iPad.
This is very similar to this article's issue.

Tags: tatoto
I think the IPU symbol has been mentioned by somebody. The symbol I would choose should promote intelligent discussion and this one works for me. Here's a link to some tattoo images of it.
I have the IPU car logo and people are always wondering what it is which gets into some funny conversations where I don't even mention the word 'Atheist'. I think it looks very cool as a tattoo all on it's own regardless of meaning too. Better than all the symbols with the letter 'A' in it somewhere (like a scarlet letter or something).
I know this is a late arrival, but I've been thinking of using Spinoza's Caute! sub rosa. I feel it would be a good reminder that, as atheists, we shouldn't have to hide our beliefs. Of course, I would leave Spinoza's initials out of it. I would consider inserting my own.
SICK BRO ! Actually pretty tight wording too makes sense - i just got ATHEOS going down my tricep
nice, Post a pic!
I am also looking or an appropriate tattoo image that speaks to me. I found this one that I like and am considering getting it on my foot. I like the organic look it has over other typical atheist A symbols.
Hmm I like the electron orbit better in that one, but I also really liked the red A.
There's no saying you can't combine the two. The 2nd one has more depth to the line thickness and the interweaving makes more sense.
Wow Mark, these are stunning! I have a couple of tatts, both are symbols of the love I carry - one for a woman who died, one for a woman who survived.
I am seriously interested in possibly using one of your above drawn pictures - do you feel possessive about them or are you sharing freely?
The above symbol(s) have been tattooed dozens and dozens of times already, even by members here. I can no longer control it, so have at it. Just don't make money from it. ;)

Searching in large logfiles with Glogg
Programmers and Linux administrators appreciate the benefits of event logs. The Glogg tool is the perfect choice for searching even large logfiles.
Linux is a pretty verbose operating system, in that many services generate messages for all kinds of events and write them in logfiles that typically reside in /var/log. When a system is hit by unexpected hiccups and glitches, investigating the logfiles can give you a relatively easy way to find the offending culprit – even if you're not an expert.

Well, this is a major bummer for anyone who thought 2013 would be the year they finally bang their '90s celebrity crush Cameron Diaz: it seems that her best friend (and your worst enemy) Gwyneth Paltrow has suggested she should swear off sex for the entire year. Sources say, "Gwyneth's sorted out everything from finances to hooking her [Diaz] up with her trainer. She has also forced her to swear off sex for a year, saying men distract her focus."

Charlotte Esau, Executive Director of the Kansas Republican Assembly, diagnoses the problem with 'non-partisan' redistricting. Reprinted from an op-ed at kansasliberty.com.
How many times have you heard the words "nonpartisan" or "bipartisan" or "nonpolitical" uttered by politicians right before they do something that is clearly political?
My guess is we'd all be rich if we have a $1 for each time that happens. It's as if labeling something nonpolitical somehow makes it so, even if what they are about to do is clearly political.
That's how we were introduced to a Senate bill dictating how redistricting would happen after the 2010 census.
Those on the left in leadership in Topeka are pushing this bill: Sens. Steve Morris and Derek Schmidt (Republicans), along with Sen. Anthony Hensley and Rep. Paul Davis (Democrats).
The bill, SB 291, is just eight pages long, so I'd encourage you to take a look at it.
If you do, have some strong coffee first because the details the description starts with are enough to resolve most cases of insomnia. But, as they say, the devil is in the details, and if you read far enough, you find them.
You see, this plan they've dreamed up would require the Senate majority leader (Schmidt), the House majority leader (Ray Merrick), the Senate minority leader (Hensley), and the House minority leader (Davis) to each name one person to a "temporary redistricting advisory commission."
The list of persons not eligible to be appointed is long. Are you a city council person or township trustee elected in a partisan race? Ineligible. Are you a party officer? Ineligible. Do you work for the state? Ineligible. Is your cousin a state or federal office holder? Ineligible.
We wouldn't want anyone with a potential bias or experience in politics or government on this commission. Never mind that very political persons are appointing these people, and that no specific expertise is required to be appointed (I don't see a best friend or business partner ruled out, by the way) and the commission is required to rely on state employees with legislative research for their data.
Those backing this bill claim that removing this responsibility from the Legislature would make the process non-political and therefore leads to a better outcome.
Under this bill, we'll have a new commission, not directly accountable to the voters, deciding what district you will live in for the next 10 years.
Now you have four political appointees. Who's going to lead? Well, that's up to them. They pick a fifth person to chair their temporary commission. So, we have a new commission, not directly accountable to the voters, deciding what district you will live in for the next 10 years.
Don't like what they decide? There's not much your representative or senator can do, even if they listen to your concerns, other than voting no time after time. It's not until they've voted down proposed bills twice and are voting on a third bill that they are allowed to make anything but technical amendments.
Can you imagine the political fallout from voting down the plan twice and then amending the third one in an election year? Even the bravest of politicians probably won't want to take that on!
The closest the public would come to being able to hold the commission accountable for the plans they present is to hold their representative and senator accountable in 2012 for whom they elected as majority or minority leader in their chamber in 2008 (for the Senate) or 2010 (for the House).
Perhaps the most important vote they make is for these leadership positions, but explaining that to the public and then making it a campaign issue is challenging at best.
And can you see the games for 2020 now? Promise me my friend will be appointed by you to the redistricting commission and I'll vote for you for majority (or minority) leader. Suddenly the "nonpolitical" commission is tied to some very real political actions in a way that the public rarely sees.
Many of the rules for the commission to follow that are spelled out in this bill are similar to how redistricting was handled the last time around – without special legislation to make it happen. The one big change? Public hearings happen after a plan is finalized.
But there is more in this bill and it's this part that is the most troubling: the commission isn't allowed to reveal any of the details they are working on to the public or the Legislature until after they've finalized them.
This reminds me of the Ethics Commission or the Supreme Court nominating commission, both of which deliberate and come to conclusions in secret executive sessions and then make an announcement.
Say what you will about politicians making political decisions, at least they do their deliberations in public with input from citizens.
Say what you will about politicians making political decisions, at least when senators and representatives made up the committee the last time around, public hearings and committee meetings and decision making was done in full view and with the participation of the public, with much input from citizens around the state.
That's one reason the lines for Congress were drawn as they were in 2002, as many wanted certain institutions or military bases to be in the same district and their elected representatives listened to their concerns. Moving this very important decision-making process to a closed-door, small, unaccountable-to-the-public commission is a step backwards for open transparency in government.
Will this bill see the light of day? It remains to be seen. Right now it's sitting in the Senate Federal and State Committee – but if leadership wants it out, they can quickly call for a hearing and a vote and have it on the Senate floor in less than a day.
Assuming it passes the Senate, it still has to get through the House, and so far House leaders have been cool to the idea. As Speaker Mike O'Neal said recently about redistricting, "I think that is uniquely a legislative function."
Let's hope others realize this as well and this feel-good bill dies a well-deserved death.

Funding for festivals and visitor centers hinges on tourism board decisions
Written by Becky Johnson- Haywood chamber to drive economic development
- Haywood commissioners on a quest for a better courthouse lawn
- County races
- Schools rebut charge of impeding efforts to start secular club
- Jackson TDA working hard for the county
- Jackson eyes courthouse expansion
- New NAACP chapters spawned by protests against Raleigh legislation
- Country boys can survive
The Haywood County Tourism Development Authority will weigh the merits of grant applications from tourism groups over the coming week.
Every year, tourism initiatives, from festivals to visitor center operations, compete for funding from the tourism authority. Haywood County hopes to bring in a little more than $1 million in tourism revenue over the 2009-2010 fiscal year, thanks to a 4 percent tax tacked on to overnight lodging accomodations. The tax carries a stipulation that it must be spent on tourism promotion. How to allocate the money is up to a 12-member tourism board appointed by the county.
Most of the money is used by the tourism authority to market Haywood County as a visitor destination through brochures, magazine ads, billboards, the Internet and various marketing campaigns.
But two pots of money are set aside specifically to fund special tourism projects and festivals by nonprofits and groups throughout the county. Competition for the funds has been contentious in past years — so contenious in fact that it led the county to raise the tax on overnight lodding from 3 percent of 4 percent to provide a bigger pot of money to go around.
That extra 1 percent — roughly $250,000 for the coming fiscal year — is divied up among geographic areas in the county. Each district gets money proportional to the amount of lodging tax collected from that district.
Committees from each of the five districts — Maggie, Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, Canton and Clyde — make recommendations to the Haywood tourism authority on which projects to fund from their respective district. The tourism authority has the final say, however.
On top of the money allocated for each district, the tourism authority sets aside another $100,000 to fund visitor centers and tourism initiatives seeking money from the general tourism budget rather than the special pot allocated for one of the geographic areas.
