Tenants of the Baytree Apartment complex have cited black mold as the primary reason for various health conditions. Residents have made claims of throwing up, nose bleeds and upper-respiratory infections since moving into the complex. One woman claims that the black mold is the ultimate reason for the death of her husband.
Resident Rose Banning says her husband died September 17, 2012 due to the black mold, which caused a fungal infection. She says he didn't have an infection when they moved in just 2 months before but soon after he began throwing up blood which led to a heart attack. He never recovered. The cause of death cited on his death certificate was sepsis, pneumonia with aspergillosis and complications of COPD.
Texas Tech University Professor of Immunology and Molecular Biology, David Straus says the micro toxins from the black mold alone would likely not be enough for a lethal dosage. However, he claims that someone with a weak immune system would be susceptible to the micro toxins and infection.
Baytree Apartment complex owner, Edward Lechner said that black mold caught them by surprise and they are not trying to hide it. In fact, new residents are asked to sign a release which discloses their acknowledgement of potential mold within the building. Lechner said the issue will not be fixed overnight, but is in the process of making necessary repairs.
The City Health Department's inspection confirmed that Baytree's poor air quality was caused by the black mold. Records also revealed that some units were infested with bed bugs. Baytree has been cited for having structural and plumbing violations, as well.
According to City Code Enforcement Administrator Director, Stuart Walker, if the City cites violations and no repairs or progress is made, Code Enforcement has the option of taking the matter to Structural Standards Court. Walker said other violations, such as the plumbing and structural issues uncovered in last week's inspection, will be taken up in municipal court.
If you have any concerns about your current living conditions, you can report any possible violations to Code Enforcement.
You can contact them though the City's main dispatch line at 3-1-1.

This rustic solid wood console table is built from standard 2x4 boards. With a rustic stained or a distressed finish, you can have your very own stylish console table in just a few hours. Featuring a stretcher and sturdy design, with breadboard ends. This well thought out plan has been built hundreds of times succesfully, even extended in length and width.
Cut all your boards, except you may wish to cut the tabletop boards after taking an exact measurment of your table in step 7. Make sure you get nice straight cuts. Either use a miter saw, chop saw, or mark your boards with a square and cut with a handheld saw. Predrill all of your screw holes with a countersink bit. Before attaching any boards, mark where the attaching board will fit. Always use glue. Use 2″ screws unless otherwise directed. Take a square of the project after each step (see HOW-TO section). Work on a clean level surface.
On each of the legs (WOOD, A), attach the apron spacer (BLUE, B) as shown above. The spacer will sit flush with the inside corner of each leg as shown above. Make sure you are attaching the spacers in the correct placement for each leg – they are not all the same! Use the 2″ screws (if you have a nailer handy, you can use 2″ nails and glue here).
Mark the legs 1 1/4″ in from the outside edges, as shown above and fasten the top leg support, shown in Green above, lining up with your marks. Make sure you attach to the spacer (Blue) and the legs (Wood). If your nailer is handy, you can also nail the support to the spacers and the legs. Do this for both sides.
If you choose to measure and cut, square up your table. Then take a measurement of the top of the table. It should be very close to 37″. Cut your boards. Then fasten the ends only of the top in place. You will screw into the top leg support piece, C, on the ends. I recommend marking out a screw pattern on the top of the ends of boards H so that all your screw holes are symentrical on the face of the tabletop.
Then flip the table over on it's top, and screw through the tabletop supports from step 5 into the undersides of the tabletop pieces. Keep the gap between your tabletop pieces a minimum.
Start in the middle and fasten all 4 tabletop pieces in place.
I am in LOVE with this table! I wonder if I can get Hubs to make it for me???? Hmmmmm....
oooh Thanks for this one! I don't need a dining table OR a coffee table but I am going to make an island that looks like this for my kitchen. Being a tiny kitchen I will have to make it bigger than the console table but smaller than the dining table :D I am going to put two shelves in I think...
Your website is really cool and this is a great inspiring article.
hcg drops
I would like to say that this blog really convinced me to do it! Thanks, very good post.
read this post here
My father and I just finished building this table! Your tutorial made it incredibly easy, and neither of us are carpenters so that`s saying something!!
I`m waiting for the finish to dry and then I`ll be sending pictures your way = D
whoops! actually we made the simple, cheap, and easy console.
OHHHHH yea! I'm so excited you posted this!! :) I think we are going to go for it this weekend!!
Love this table..have been looking to buy one exactly just like it but cost too much $. Thank you so much for your site. I am totally clueless about building but you seem to make it took like I could do it. Just wondering what kind of wood to use??
The cheapest and easiest way is to use stud grade lumber. It's already distressed. AND it's exactly what Pottery Barn uses for their pine colored table! I hope you take a second to look at the Beth's Hyde Coffee Table (http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/2009/12/bragging-board.html ) and End Table (http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com/search/label/Bragging%20Board) - she used pine and it is beautiful.
After looking through the plans you've done of benches for say a dining room table I think we're going to use the console table plan, shorten the legs and lengthen the top to make benches for our sorav dining table (world market). We got this table out of their dumpster last year. It took a year but we were finally able to get replacement legs and fix the damage to the table itself. This will totally save us the $500 for chairs and benches. Awesome!
Oh my gosh I LOVE THIS!!
Me and my husband just made this as a house warming gift for my Aunt! I was so worried because she has such a beautiful home but it turned out so great- can't wait to paint it and post pictures!! It only cost us 35.00 to build but we already had the 4x4's left over from something else!!
I love this table and have plans to make it ASAP! I have one question. I was looking at the console table that Kelsey and her dad made (real simple console table) They added a shelf on the bottom. Can I do the same thing with this table? If so how do I do that?
Thanks for all you do! I can not wait to fill my house up with furniture!!!
to make a bottom shelf, you would essentially need to construct a second table top, much like you did for the top. Only this time, use 1x2s as the supports and aprons. I would extend the aprons so that they are flush with the legs, instead of inset.
Cover the top of the shelves in 1x4 boards. Copy the top by doing a "breadboard" end between the legs, and then fill in the remaining pices with 1x4s.
Hi. I just found your website tonight and LOVE it! Back in October I had my husband make this table for me. Here's the link. Enjoy!
I've been working on the Hyde console table this weekend and wanted to share what i've found in doing it. (almost there--near the finish line!) One thing I noticed was that the cut list only calls for 2 side apron spacers, but you need 4 to put one on each leg. Not a major problem!
I think this makes for a good first project--definitely "doable," but I did have to "call for help" a few times. Looking forward to going out on my own for the next project (Farmhouse bed?) Pictures coming when its done! Thanks again, Ana!
You can build one for me! Please?! Seriously though, I just found your blog and I want to thank you so much. I don't know if I will ever have the courage/time/money (yes, money, I'm that poor) to actually build anything, but it does make my pottery barn dreams seem a bit closer!
OH my goodness. I am so excited to try and build this during the weekend! I figure it can't go any worse then my first pajama sewing project did (Pockets ended up down at the knees!)
This is exactly what i want! Now to convince the hubby!
We just finished this project & are so proud of ourselves. Thanks for this awesome plan. Will post pictures once we get it stained.
Are you all using green lumber, as in not kiln dried? I live in Oregon and no one locally has this kiln dried...
Hi, thanks for sharing your wonderful plans! I want to make this console table, but I live in Atlanta and I'm having a super hard time finding a 4'x4' that is not pressure treated. I've tried the major DIY hardware stores, but no luck. Where did you find the 4'x4'?
I just found your blog and am very inspired! I'm a beginning woodworker and thought all furniture was hard to build...until I found your plans!
One question - where do you find your 4x4 lumber? I've checked both HD and LHI and found that they carry only pressure treated 4x4s. Any suggestions for those of us in the piedmont area of NC?
Ana (and all!)
Was wondering if I could use this as the base idea for a side table/radiator cover? They are SO expensive to buy or have custom made and little fingers are curious... so I want to get started now before the heat comes on late this fall...
I would have to take out the last stabilizing piece but could put something on the outside of the legs if needed. Would also probably use metal perforated sheets to fill the other areas...
Unless radiator cover plans are coming!
Ana (and all!)
Could I modify this to a table/radiator cover?
Little fingers are curious and I need to get started soon so I am sure to be done by late fall when the heat comes on...
unless there are radiator cover plans coming soon...
BBFHOA - If you are close to Raleigh, NC, check out Capital City Lumber, right off 440 beltline. They have 4x4 untreated for about $8 for 8'.
Erin, thanks!
[...] first project will be the Hyde Console Table. Ana at Knock-Off Wood is a genius! I love all her projects and I have been dying to get on her [...]
Hi Ana,
Thanks for these awesome instructions! I was just wondering something-I noticed that the tables are longer in some of the pictures, and I'd like to make a table longer than 48"-which pieces do I need to change the cut length on in order to do that? I'm assuming it's the front and back aprons, tabletop pieces and the stretcher-am I correct?
I'm so excited to try this!!
Here is out "Tryde" console table. We love it. We are now working on the side tables. We added L shaped brackets under the ends for extra support.
C:\Users\Ashley\Pictures\Nov Dec 2010\IMG_0017
Ana - I'm cutting the wood for this right now and wouldn't you need 4 of the side apron spacers labeled as B? Just want to make sure!
did my version of ana's design of the console table and might proud of the results!
did a dark stain of dark walnut to match my floors and staircare finish! thanks for the inspiration ana!
This is BEAUTIFUL!!! I think I'm gonna have to try the entire Tryde collection! :D
The road to success is always under construction.
Ana, do you have a how-to section on this site? I've looked for it, but can't find it.
This was our first ever project from your site. We were so happy with the results. Thank you.
I love this table and especially love the finish. Can you tell me what finish you used on it? It is exactly what I am wanting to do a kitchen table in. Thanks!
Where can I buy the lumber for this. Does Homedepot sell this kind of wood? or do I need to find a specialized lumber store?
Yes, you can get it at home depot. Make sure you get the regular lumber and not the pressure treated kind.
About to start building this but can't figure out how to attach the breadboard ends in step 6. It says to use the 4" screws into the leg, but as it sits in the picture the table is resting on the breadboard end with only 1.5 inch overlap and there does not appear to be a way to screw the two together Almost seems like it would need an L-bracket. Or do I turn it over and screw into the leg from the top?
Also, the materials list calls for a Kreg jig and 1 1/4 and 2 1/2 PH screws but I can't see where in the instructions they are used. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.
very simple way you have to describe all feature i am really impress thanks ANA.http://www.calendarprinting.org.uk

Campbell vs. Funeka/Martinez v.s Cintron and More!
FightHype Community
Jack 1000
Feb 14 2009, 06:35 PM
Post all the round-by-round action and post fight reactions to the big HBO Tripleheader tonight here.
Feb 14 2009, 06:57 PM
I've never seen Funeka or Martinez fight before so I can't really make any picks here.
I know Funeka is a big lightweight who knocked out Raheem. I remember Hlatshwayo being bigger and stronger than Nate, and Nate ended up losing a close decision. Nate better be on his game tonight...
I know Martinez is a pretty good boxer from what I've seen on youtube. Like Cintron, the only fighter he ever lost to is Margarito. We don't know how far back Margarito's illegal hand wrapping goes though. With this match, all I can say is we will see a classic match between a powerful boxer and a skillful boxer.
It should be a memorable night of fights tonight!
Feb 14 2009, 07:43 PM
i wont be surprised to see funeka pull this out tonight... the tone is set...
Feb 14 2009, 07:43 PM
martinez vs. centron should be a good one hard to call it...
Feb 14 2009, 07:58 PM
Feb 14 2009, 09:03 PM
Martinez looked even more impressive in stopping Bunema.
Mean Mister Mustard
Feb 14 2009, 09:36 PM
So far Cintron has only looked bad against pressure fighters so it will be interesting to see if Martinez can outbox him. One thing is for sure, Martinez better be able to make Cintron miss if he is going to keep his hands at his waist. Otherwise he might have to fight on the inside.
Campbell-Funeka is the fight I'm most interested in.
Feb 14 2009, 10:23 PM
Angulo is proving to be too much for Rivera after 3 rounds.
Feb 14 2009, 10:42 PM
Oh Lord...
Tom Kaczmarek is a judge for the Cintron-Martinez fight. I hope it doesn't go the distance.
Feb 14 2009, 10:58 PM
cintron and martinez styles dont match up well at all... i'm still thinking funeka is gonna suprise campbell.. maybe not beat him but make it close...
Feb 14 2009, 11:00 PM
Normally when someone hands their hands down during a fight, it doesn't annoy me. This time it is. I'm not really sure why.
Feb 14 2009, 11:08 PM
LOL! Lederman sounds pissed. I love it.
Feb 14 2009, 11:08 PM
i am somewhat surprised that cintron is fighting this kind of fight... he's not letting his hands go...
Feb 14 2009, 11:11 PM
come on even if it was a headbutt cintron should have known to get up... i dont think it was a headbutt...
Feb 14 2009, 11:12 PM
Cintron is a dumbass.
Feb 14 2009, 11:12 PM
The ref is a dumbass too.
Feb 14 2009, 11:13 PM
thats messed up cintron got up at 10 no matter how much anyone wants to see the fight continue.... unfair rest for cintron... this ref. stinks...
Feb 14 2009, 11:15 PM
We can add that the commentators are dumbasses too. Minus Lederman in this case.

Martinez is on his way to winning a decision..
Feb 14 2009, 11:21 PM
Was it just me or did the ref say, "It's over" in that replay?
Feb 14 2009, 11:23 PM

I'm just waiting for it...
Feb 14 2009, 11:34 PM
lol im ashamed to see puerto rico's flag on cintron...hes like the zab judah of pr fighters (as in not mentally strong), and i think thats a compliment.
Feb 14 2009, 11:35 PM
I can't wait for the interviews. I can't wait to see Cintron bitching about the headbutt and then being shown the replay.
Feb 14 2009, 11:35 PM
Martinez got robbed.
Feb 14 2009, 11:36 PM
LMAOOOOO A draw!
What a robbery!!!
Feb 14 2009, 11:36 PM
boxing is sinking to an all time low... no way this fight is 113-113....

9-3 Martinez.
Bullshit decision and a bullshit ref.
Wait I think I had it 10-2 for Martinez. Oh well doesn't matter, but what the FUCK just happened?! I did not see a close fight at all. Honestly, did anyone see a close fight? It's cool if someone did, I'm honestly interested.
Feb 14 2009, 11:44 PM
Only thing to do is have them rematch and let Martinez beat him. That DRAW is ridiculous, a huge gift for Kermit Cintron.

Hello all,
I've been reading threads, and browsing sketchbooks here for a little while, and have been inspired by MCM's journey and so many of the other sketchbooks that I have decided to start a sketchbook here of my own.
My artistic strengths are video editing and photo manipulation, but my grasp of drawing and painting is low; something I hope to improve ! I used to be okay with 3d as well, but have forgotten most of it. I want to work on both 2d and 3d and find my own style for integrating the two.
Here are a few sketches from the last 2 days:
A few basic shapes: (starting again from the ground up)
Female model, photo from photo ref in People and Places, (vol ?)
Quick sketch of Venice, from a photo found online
Getting back into blender (trying the 2.56 beta), learning again from scratch...
Any feedback will be appreciated I will try to draw and post as much as I can this summer!

Just a quick sketch tonight. I haven't been using my scanner because I find it doesn't play nicely with my 2H pencil lines, will scan whenever I use ink.
No 3d today. Deleted blender to make room for version 2.57 which was just released. New stable version released just in time for my re-learning of it!
Here's a bit of fanart to flex the old drawing from reference muscles after falling off the drawing wagon over the weekend.
I find my scanner is not doing a great job with my sketches. Even with ink it's a bit iffy. I might try to take photographs using a tripod straight on. I suppose it could just be that my scanner isn't great. Do other people here prefer photographing their work to scanning it?
I've posted two for comparison:
Hey, welcome and grats on starting your SB, it's the first step into learning
Now, for what I can see, you're just starting out when it comes to drawing humanoid subjects... I would recommend hitting up some Loomis (Figure Drawing For All It's Worth) and maybe some Bridgman (Constructive Anatomy)... read a bit from there, and practice their exercises, they should help you get a better understanding of the human figure.
Other than that, keep posting and keep drawing!
My sketchbook - help me get better!

Badly designed. Can damage your frame. Can be easily knocked over. Eventually sags to obscure front view making it hard to see overhead branches.

This shade has been a great help in keeping me cooler and no more sun burn. It was easy to put together and put on my mower. A very good and necessary purchase.

I was looking forward to using this sun shade on our new garden tractor. But we returned it because once attached to the tractor, we could not drive the tractor into our garage without hitting the sun shade. Perhaps they can make the shade so it sits lower on the tractor. I wish it would have worked for us.

....your yard is as smooth as a billiard table. Basically, this thing needs some support for the front of the framework. If your yard is at all bumpy , it flops, bounces and twists around continuously. Because it's supported by the metal bodywork behind the seat, it's only a matter of time before the tractor body starts to crack from all the flexing. Other reviewers have also noted issues with overhanging branches, but I don't view this as a problem with the canopy. Just be aware that you will have trim up any trees you want to get close to. Not sure yet if I want to engineer my own front supports , or just return the thing. It's a good idea, but poorly executed.

I have been looking for one of these for years and finally found one at the Sears Outlet for a great price. It was easy to put together except for when I got to the next to last step which was placing the cross bows in the overhead section. I soon discovered why it was on sale at a very low price. The holes for the crows bows was missing on one side. Therefore, I had to drill 3 holes on the left side for the bows to fit in. No big deal but somebody in China forgot to drill the holes for the other side. I thought it funny that QA missed this major defect.

The Sun shade works well to keep the sun off of you while mowing. Only problem is that the sun shade tends to move more than I would like. Needs a beeter way to attach to the rea of the mower. Overall does work to keep you cool
via sears.com
Frame is too heavy. It will droop in front and sometimes come down in your face. When it is up right it balances all over the place. Now it does shade you when it is working properly. It needs to be redesigned. Front not as wide and no square corners to catch on things. Lighter material on frame. Four point connection instead of the two. Last the cover needs to drop over the sides 8 to 10 inches. The cost might double but it would be better than mine in the trash.

Middle East CIOs Need to Present a Strong Business Case for Deploying a High-Performance Networking Infrastructure
IT leaders must demonstrate how strategic changes to the network infrastructure will deliver fast ROI and ongoing returns that enable businesses to operate with greater agility
February 29, 2012 12:00 by Colin_Saldanha
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 29, 2012: Although IT infrastructure is viewed as a strategic investment for business development, getting budget approval for technology upgrades is never a cakewalk. Fortunately, when it comes to critical network upgrades, IT leaders have some strong allies in their corner- business unit heads whose requirements call for strategic infrastructure improvements to help them manage new demands and support regulatory mandates.
According to The Global Information Technology Report 2010-2011, Transformations 2.0, released by the World Economic Forum, the UAE ranks 24th in the world and 1st among Arab countries in its use of ICT to enhance competitiveness and development1. As more business process find their way onto the network, the conditions favourably suit network infrastructure investments.
Sufian Dweik, Regional Manager – Middle East and North Africa (MENA) at networking vendor Brocade Communications says that virtualization has already seen high penetration in the Middle East and is only set to grow at an accelerated pace. And in 2012, as organizations turn to the Cloud to gain a competitive edge and reduce infrastructure costs, flatter fabric-based network architecture will address the scale, traffic forwarding efficiency and latency requirements. Fabrics will drive cloud adoption and virtualization to the next level by supporting heavy traffic volumes and demand.
A modern enterprise network should meet four basic requirement- non-stop networking to maximize business uptime; unmatched simplicity to overcome today's complexity; optimized applications to increase business agility; and investment protection to provide a smooth transition to new technologies while leveraging existing infrastructure. CIOs who want to upgrade to such modern end-to-end network infrastructure need to make watertight arguments about how their proposals will deliver a justifiable Return On Investment (ROI) within ever shorter time frames, while flexibly supporting anticipated demands over the next five to seven years. This, of course, is a daunting challenge, but highlighted below are four key guidelines to help CIOs frame such a proposal.
Business Case Builder #1: Demonstrate Future-Proofing with a High-Performance Network
A future-proofed network vision emphasizes the ability to scale and deliver the agility needed to meet business requirements, while leveraging existing investments. For example, the ability to add blades, line cards, or other modules to cost-effectively meet new requirements and avoid the expenses of having to rip and replace components down the road is a key driver for companies as they seek to meet growing user demand.
CIOs could outline the growing use of the network as the core communications medium. Leveraging a unified network infrastructure for real-time collaboration could address the travel costs associated with in-person meetings while supporting increased network usage as opportunities for expansion begin to emerge.
To support a far-reaching unified communications infrastructure, CIOs should invest in networking solutions that can reliably and cost-effectively deliver switching and routing today and- as business conditions demand- be configured to support IP-enabled voice, video-conferencing, and dynamic document exchange, all in the same architecture.
CIOs can also begin to future-proof their data and storage networks. Part of that is obvious: Investing in IP products whose architecture, system design, and backplane are purposely built to support Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) today- as well as wire-speed 10 GbE, 40 GbE, and 100 GbE as required in the future.
Business Case Builder #2: Demonstrate Fast and Ongoing Cost Control in a High-Performance Network
Creating a more power-efficient network infrastructure is an important way CIOs can address immediate ROI in their business cases. Modern networking equipment not only deliver high density and performance, but also draw only a third of the power that older systems do. Power savings on network components, along with server consolidation and visualization, means IT departments can achieve 40 to 50 percent savings on network infrastructure costs for a fast and definitive ROI that continues to generate paybacks on electricity charges year over year.
Of course, one of the highest-cost elements in any IT organization is managing environments in which a range of different network tools are in use. The ongoing expenses are for the licensing and support of point tools, and also include costs associated with training and maintaining the IT staff to effectively use them. CIOs can make a business case for simplifying management- and lowering costs- by leveraging a cohesive network management platform and interface for operational simplicity.
Business Case Builder #3: Investment Protection by Leveraging Existing Infrastructure in a High-Performance Network
By continuing to gain value from existing investments, businesses can reduce capital expenses and avoid lock-in to a single vendor's solution and architecture, with all the repercussions this can have on future efforts to control costs. Towards that end, networking infrastructure must be able to seamlessly integrate with other IT solutions.
IT leaders' business cases should emphasize how their planned investment will fit fluidly into the heterogeneous infrastructures that characterize most IT environments, through support for open standards and by use of interfaces that foster choice and avoid the disruption that can ensue from abandoning existing tools.
One guiding principle for CIOs should be the ability to integrate with the orchestration frameworks that already exist to manage the data center. The importance of this will only grow as virtualization and LAN-SAN convergence begin to change data center paradigms, requiring even-tighter co-ordination among network, storage and server domains.
Business Case Builder #4: Demonstrate the Value of Greater Network Expertise
As demands on the network grow, IT leaders must explain to the business that their plans account for creating and accessing talent to ensure high performance during the rapid infrastructure changes taking place.
Virtualization and LAN-SAN convergence might require IT leaders to break teams out of their functional silos and create tighter coupling among various groups. Networking experts, for instance, must learn to be more cautious about turning on features in virtual software switches that might decrease server performance. Storage administrators and network infrastructure personnel would also have to cross-train each other in their areas of expertise and collaboratively address issues that will emerge over time as the enterprise moves to a converged infrastructure.
For CIOs, upgrading the network infrastructure provides a good opportunity to bring these parties to the same table. The business ultimately benefits from having a more comprehensively skilled IT staff, along with more efficient service, greater business continuity, and lower management costs that free up money for investment in other areas of the enterprise.
In conclusion, if there is one point that IT leaders must emphasize throughout their business cases, it is this: A highly optimized, always-on network offers strategic advantage to the enterprise and can be leveraged as a competitive tool- it is time for businesses to recognize this and give the network its due importance.

A 27-year-old Virginia state trooper has died after he was hit by an SUV while on special assignment directing traffic for the State Fair of Virginia.
State police say Andrew D. Fox was run down late Friday on Route 30 in Hanover County. Fox was wearing a traffic safety vest when he was struck. No charges have been filed against the driver of the SUV but an investigation is continuing.
The state police superintendent, Col. W. Steven Flaherty, called Fox highly regarded and his death a "tremendous loss." He was the 58th state police officer killed in the line of duty in its 80-year history.
Fox was assigned to Pulaski County. He was Tazewell County native and served on the town of Tazewell force. He was a Virginia Tech graduate.

NIOSH is committed to applying the best available science in dose reconstructions. In keeping with this commitment, completed cases with probabilities of causation less than 50% are reviewed as relevant new information becomes available. The results of these reviews are described in a Program Evaluation Report (PER). The PER details the effect, if any, of the new information on the completed dose reconstruction. If it appears that the new information may result in an increase in dose for a completed dose reconstruction with a probability of causation of less than 50%, NIOSH is committed to working with the Department of Labor to reopen and rework the dose reconstruction, as appropriate. A Program Evaluation Plan (PEP) describes plans for evaluating specific program details or issues.
Program Evaluation Report: Los Alamos National Laboratory TBD Revision
PDF 18 KB (2 pages)
Document Number: OCAS-PER-0018 Rev-00
About this Document: New document to determine which
previously completed claims require
evaluation for the effect of revising the
Approved: July 31, 2007
Summary: It is not possible to precisely determine the effect of the change to LAMPF dose estimates on Probability of Causation without a new Dose Estimate. However, it is possible to determine if the LAMPF energy distribution was used in the original dose estimate. It is also possible to determine if an individual was assigned unmonitored neutron dose based on neutron to photon ratios and whether the ratio used will increase or decrease under the new revision to the TBD.
In order to determine the effect of these factors, the individual cases must be re-examined. Since the unmonitored neutron dose has the potential of affecting every claim, all claims completed prior to May 30, 2007 from Los Alamos National Laboratory with a Probability of Causation less than 50% will require a review. NIOSH will request claims be returned in which the LAMPF energy distributions were originally assigned using Revision 0 for a new dose estimate. NIOSH will also request the return of claims in which the original dose estimate utilized a neutron to photon ratio that has now increased. For all other claims, NIOSH will review the claim against any other revisions to other technical documents that may affect the claim. DOL will be provided with a statement for each claim indicating what changes the claim was reviewed against and why the change did not affect the particular dose estimate or the Probability of Causation calculation. For any claims where it is not possible to provide this statement without a new Dose Estimate, NIOSH will request that DOL return the claim for a new Dose Estimate.
NIOSH has determined that 300 claims meet the criteria for further review. The remaining cases with a probability of causation less than 50% (1 claim) were completed using revision 1 of the TBD. NIOSH will provide DOL with the list of 300 claims as well as a determination on each claim as to whether a new Dose Estimate is required.
Based on a recommendation from the Advisory Board to provide workers and site experts with opportunities to participate in developing the technical documents used in dose reconstruction, NIOSH established a Worker Outreach Program.
At Worker Outreach Meetings, current and former DOE and AWE employees have opportunities to obtain information about Site Profiles, Technical Basis Documents, and Technical Information Bulletins, and to provide information for consideration and possible use in dose reconstruction. This process is valuable to ensure that the technical documents used in dose reconstruction contain correct and useful information.
Below are the Worker Outreach Activities for LANL:
This Work Group is responsible for reviewing the Los Alamos site profile (as revised), the SEC petition(s) from Los Alamos petitioners, the NIOSH Evaluation Report of the petition, the SC&A Review of the Los Alamos Site Profile. It is also responsible for considering issues raised by the Board's contractor (SC&A) concerning the site profile and the petition Evaluation Report, and for assisting NIOSH and SC&A in the resolution of such issues. The Work Group may recommend to the Board, changes in the site profile as appropriate. The Work Group should strive to develop a recommendation to the Board on whether a class should be added to the SEC.
The documents listed under this section were prepared by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health (or their technical support contractor) or NIOSH. Some of the items listed below are working documents and were developed for discussion purposes only. The documents represent preliminary positions taken on technical issues. Draft, preliminary, interim, and white paper documents are not final positions unless specifically marked as such.

They may not have the throaty rumble of a Harley-Davidson, but the Vacaville Police Department's new BMW motorcycles leave the competition in the dust, according to traffic unit officers.
The five BMW RT1200P touring-style motorcycles hit the streets in Vacaville a week ago and already, motor officers have seen a marked difference in the bikes' handling, in addition to other improvements.
"One of the things that I think we've learned during this recession is to really be smart about the equipment that we purchase, to be fiscally responsible, to get stuff that's going to last us a long time, that's going to give us the best bang for our buck, so to speak," said Vacaville police Sgt. Mark Donaldson, traffic unit supervisor.
The BMWs replaced the road-worn Harley-Davidsons, with which the department's motor officers had been patrolling the streets for five to 11 years.
"Some of our Harleys had well exceeded their life span," Donaldson said. "We had bikes that were as old as 10 years. To a civilian bike, that might not be a big deal, but when you talk about police bikes that are ridden daily and the type of riding we're doing -- we're doing enforcement riding, we're not doing touring or taking a nice trip up to the lake -- we're riding these things pretty hard and putting them through the paces. We were definitely long overdue for a change."
The BMWs are "just a better choice overall," said Officer Chad Hudson, one of four motor officers supervised by Donaldson. "We basically piggybacked off other people's research because we don't have the manpower or the time to do large-scale research."
"The L.A. County Sheriff's Department ... did comprehensive testing of every police motorcycle available on the market," Donaldson added. "From Harleys to the BMWs, to Victories to Kawasakis, Hondas."
In both the L.A. study and a second study by Michigan State Police, BMW came out the clear leader, Donaldson said.
"A lot of agencies are making the transition," Hudson added.
"The nice thing about what BMW does is it's specifically designed from the ground up as a police bike," Hudson said.
"Unlike these other bikes, like your Harleys where it's a civilian bike and then they add stuff on afterward, this one is made specifically for police from the ground up, with our interests in mind or how we're going to use the bikes," Donaldson added.
In addition to emergency lights and sirens, the new motorcycles are equipped with alley lights, a rifle mount, upgraded radar systems and lidar detection, bluetooth-based radio systems, anti-lock brakes and traction control.
"We'll actually be able to carry some of the stuff that patrol cars carry," Hudson said. "Typically, with the motorcycles, because they're smaller and fast, we can get to critical incidents faster than a patrol car, because they're able to do things like split traffic, ride up on sidewalks and get around barriers and stuff like that. Being able to bring that equipment to a scene quickly before anyone else is essential in high-stress incidents or critical incidents."
The new acquisitions are also helping to defray maintenance costs, thanks to the 6,000 miles between oil changes, as opposed to 2,500 miles required for the Harleys.
"The amount of cost we were spending on maintenance made it a no-brainer that it was time and there was a need to go to a new bike," Donaldson said, noting that the bikes were starting to break down, which resulted in having to pull officers off the street.
"You can see the evidence on the ground," Hudson added, indicating a barrage of splotchy oil stains on the pavement where the unit's former motorcycles sat behind the Police Department.
In addition to being 200 pounds lighter than their Harley-Davidson counterpart, the RT1200P also has a slightly shorter wheel base, providing a sharper turning radius. It also gives the rider a more upright riding position.
"What I've found in just the short time we've had them, they're definitely more maneuverable," Donaldson said.
Despite the BMW's advantages, the price differences between the two motorcycle brands were within about $1,000 of each other.
To help offset the bikes' $31,731 price tags, the department auctioned off seven of its older-model Harley-Davidsons that had begun to be more of a burden to maintain, said Vacaville Public Works Manager Brian McLean.
The authorization to replace the older motorcycles with the BMWs was approved by the City Council in October and partially funded through one-time moneys that came from the dissolution of redevelopment funding, McLean explained.
"Just by running the numbers, it was more beneficial to cut our losses with the Harleys and look for a better-made motorcycle," he said.
Even after the move was approved, the department dedicated nearly nine months of extensive review before settling on the bikes, which were purchased at Long Beach BMW, which also footed the bill for officers to fly down to retrieve them.
"I think its going to provide some high dividends for the city over the next several years," McLean said.

La Jolla Rotary honors police sergeant
Rotary Club of La Jolla has added a focus on public safety to its Employee of the
Month awards program.
Last week they presented the first recognition to Sgt. Tom Rizzo of the San Diego Police Department's Northern Division. He was presented with a plaque by the club's Vocational Service chair Pat Stouffer and President Ron Jones and praise from his boss, Capt. Brian Ahearn.
Rizzo joined the department in 1979 and has been assigned to Northern Division as a patrol sergeant for the past 11 years. In his role he supervises the officers who respond to calls for service in La Jolla and other beach communities. He was a first responder to several critical incidents and complex scenes including the La Jolla landslide in 2007.

Katie Stockton, 32, was sentenced in a Winnebago County courtroom on April 5, 2013, for the murder of Baby Crystal. The newborn remained unidentified for years after her mother left her on December 17, 2004, to suffocate and freeze to death in a wooded area along a road just 90 yards from the family home.
Sadly while investigating this death, police found two more sets of infant remains in the trunk of Stockton's impounded vehicle, so this is probably not the last we have heard on Ms. Stockton.

"We were dispatched to the hydrant and we just shut it off," said Capt. Tom Jaramillo of Station 37.
Police told Patch that a car drove into the hydrant, which caused it to spew water more than 10 feet in the air for about 20 minutes.
"We heard the crash and called 911," said Jennifer Habig, head designer at , which is adjacent to the hydrant.
When the accident occurred, Brentwood firefighters from station 19 were refueling at station 69 in the Palisades and were unable to respond, said LAFD Capt. Mark Harrison.

Shooting first: Fear and the 'stand your ground' law
For those who irrationally fear guns, evidence and data are irrelevant. The use of firearms is to be restricted and curtailed to the greatest extent legally possible regardless of the consequences - because guns are scary things. That impulse is the motivating force behind House Bill 135, to repeal the "stand your ground" law.
Thankfully, the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee removed the two worst parts of HB 135. One would have undone the "Ward Bird" law, which clarifies that merely brandishing a weapon is not a criminal use of deadly force. The other would have made people who use deadly force in self-defense civilly liable for injuries caused when protecting themselves from imminent harm. Still, the bill should not pass.
Testifying against the "stand your ground" legislation in 2011, Associate Attorney General Ann Rice said, "Historically, this committee's first question is 'What problem is this bill trying to address?' If you apply that question to these three bills, there is no problem that needs fixing."
Applying that standard to the law now would generate the conclusion Rice came to in 2011: "there is no problem that needs fixing." We do not have shootouts in bars and restaurants by gunslingers whom the law has emboldened. That is because responsible New Hampshire gun owners are not bloodthirsty desperados itching to kill, which is how so many legislators seem to imagine them. Repealing this law now would be a premature and irrational act based on fear and mistrust. It would be the legislative equivalent of shooting first, asking questions later. How ironic if the bil passes.

Heart not stuck in the '80s
Heart singer Ann Wilson considers Ben Mink, the producer of the forthcoming Heart CD, "Fanatic," a genius when it comes to capturing sound on record.
And with "Fanatic," set for release Oct. 2, Wilson and her sister, guitarist/singer Nancy Wilson — who take the Kansas State Fair's Grandstand stage Friday night — tested Mink in some unusual situations.
"It's just amazing some of the different techniques that were used to record this record because it was recorded in lots of little different places, on a tour bus, in a parking lot, in a hotel room, actually in a studio, just everywhere," Ann Wilson said in an early August phone interview.
Recording in such unconventional locations was necessary because, to get "Fanatic" done on time, recording had to get done while Heart was on tour.
"And you know, as it turns out, I'm really glad we did, because I think we caught something on 'Fanatic' that is quite a spark," Wilson said. "And we didn't sit in the studio and just overthink and overthink and overthink. We were on the move the whole time."
The new CD has a genuine energy, some of which comes from the performances. Then there are the songs. "Fanatic" is one of Heart's hardest-rocking albums, and songs like "Dear Old America," "59 Crunch," "Mashallah" and the title track are crisp, highly melodic and full of surprising and entertaining twists and turns.
And as for Mink's talents for capturing unique sonics, that's amply demonstrated on "Fanatic." The title song, for instance, uses some attention-grabbing buzzing tones, while the electronic tones that greet the listener on "Skin and Bones" give the song a bit of a futuristic accent. Then there are the techno-funk touches that flavor "Million Miles."
"He (Mink) knows good and well what Heart used to sound like in the '70s and in the '80s and the '90s," Wilson said. "But he's a guy who is really dead set in the present. So he's going to pay respect to us and who we are, but he's always going to push us. And he really has a great sonic imagination and ability to come up with crazy ideas that really refer to us in an honest way."
"Fanatic" is a big piece in a year shaping up to be a landmark one in a career for Heart that began in 1973, when the sisters formed the group. During the course of its career, the band has enjoyed two periods of huge success: a five-album run that introduced Heart to the world from 1976 to 1980, and again during the second half of the 1980s. In all, the band has sold more than 35 million records and landed 21 top-40 hits.
Another project — besides touring — is an autobiography. The sisters wrote "Kicking and Dreaming" with Charles R. Cross, who wrote the acclaimed biography of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain, "Heavier Than Heaven."
Wilson said she and her sister didn't hold back in telling their story.
"We decided pretty early on there was really no point in doing it if we were just going to do a big covered-up whitewash," she said. "You might as well just stay silent if you're going to keep everything secret. So we told our story as openly and honestly as we can."
"Kicking and Dreaming" is due in stores Tuesday, by which time Heart will be in the middle of a fall tour.
In its show, Wilson said, the band is playing plenty of hits, but also several new songs, showing that Heart remains a creatively active band and is not resting on its catalog.
"It's a very hard thing for artists who had big success in other decades because, you know, if you continue to create and go forward, you have to figure out a way, just like you did in the very beginning, to keep people interested in it," Wilson said. "I know that a lot of people finally just give up and just go out and relive the '80s or relive the '70s or whatever because they know that people want to come and relive those things. And that can be sort of like the death knell of an artist right there. Suddenly it almost doesn't even matter if it's you or not. That's always been really something that Nance and I bounce away from. We really shy away from that. Just going out and doing the songs from the '80s, it just makes us really unhappy to be stuck inside that box."

Since I think everyone is looking for something to kill time with over the next hour and a half, no matter what Nerlens says recruiting for 2013-2014 is still on. Does anyone have any news on any of our targets?
Snooping over at Card Chronicle, they seemed like they felt nobody but Syracuse has a shot at Ennis. Is this true? What if he looks and sees a log jam with MCW and Cooney as the two guards? Or am I overvauing Cooney by assuming he's a starter post-Triche?
Then there's Anya....if our logjam at the 4 and 5 is a problem for Noel, it will be a problem for Anya barring some miracle by Rak or Coleman. Is Anya someone who could play the role Rak had this past year, or does he need to play right away?
And of course, add anything else you have.

I just caught this on "America's Game: the 1970 Baltimore Colts" on the NFL Network. Bubba Smith was describing the situation in the first AFC Championship game, when he knocked Oakland quarterback Daryl Lamonica out of the game in its early stages. In came the backup, 43-year-old George Blanda, the oldest quarterback in the NFL. Here's what Smith had to say:
"Every time you have the chance to take a lick on him, you take it."
Apparently, dirty play has a long pedigree in the NFL. Shame on you, Bubba!

The Puzzle: Single parenthood, work/career, childcare
"How do other working single parents balance the demands of work with childcare?" asks a friend. She goes on:
My lack of ability to network and attend as many after work and out of work functions sometimes leaves me feeling outside of building strong relationships and opportunities professionally. A lot of events and functions happen before daycare opens or after it closes. Even if I could find a sitter, which most nights I can't, it is hard to justify spending the $12-15/hour plus any drinks and dinner at the function when I already pay $11k per year for full time daycare on a single income.
I also tend to feel squeezed between daycare and work. The professional world expects that I should be able to meet the workloads and time demands typical of most in a 9-5 professional environment. Most of the time this works fine; however, when an end of day client call goes too late I find myself rushing like a maniac to get to daycare on time. Who am I kidding? Most days I struggle to get all of my work done and make it to daycare on time.
All of the other children at the daycare where my daughter goes have coupled parents. Typically the parents alternate pickup and dropoff so that their kids get more home time and the parents have more flexibility in their working hours. My daughter is almost always the last kid to daycare (it is hard to get ready when I also have to prepare her meals, etc) and the last kid to be picked up. Whenever I can pick her up earlier I do, but often it is just at the closing bell and the daycare staff who would like to leave earlier make it clear that they are annoyed.
On the flip side, the narrow window means that my actual work product and thinking about work tends to be much more focused. I get less distracted by email, any personal Web surfing or really any non essential work since I am clear that I have much less time to get work done. I also have learned that I have to clearly delineate work and family. By the time I work all day, pick up my daughter, get ready for the next day, do laundry, clean up and shower I am so exhausted that there is no chance I could muster the mental energy to do any more work. Home has become a mostly work free environment for me which actually allows me to focus on my daughter and do things that take very little mental energy, but that are fulfilling such as: sewing, reading, or playing music when a moment allows.
Has single parenthood made you more efficient at work? Does it mean your child is in the minority, spending upwards of 9 hours at daycare? Does it get any better than this or is this reality your balance?

This film looks very promising. Cannot wait to see Whitney`s last performance of a lifetime also lined up with a pretty unique all-star cast my fingers are tied for this film.
