On the second day of the trial of a driver who struck and killed a highway-construction flag woman, court heard how other motorists had complained about the unsafe work practices of the flaggers who worked at the site.
RCMP Const. Wayne Goetz testified Wednesday he had received complaints after the fatal collision from five or six motorists who said the flaggers showed a lack of attention, were listening to music and had their backs to traffic.
Goetz was testifying in the trial of Mitchell Blostein, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of dangerous driving causing death for the Oct. 18, 2010, collision that killed Brittany Lynn Murray.
Murray, 21, was a flag woman for Mulder Construction, which was resurfacing a stretch of Highway 207 between the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 15.
There is no dispute that Blostein, now 70, was driving the car that struck and killed Murray. Justice Douglas Abra must decide whether the evidence supports the charge Blostein was driving dangerously.
Crown prosecutor Craig Savage concluded his case Wednesday. The defence team of Lisa LaBossiere and Hymie Weinstein said they might call witnesses Thursday morning. Concluding arguments are expected by the end of the day.
Goetz said one of the complaints about the flaggers had come from a police officer with the RM of Springfield police force.
Witnesses testified Tuesday Murray was still wearing iPod earbuds after the collision and her iPod was found nearby.
Goetz said when he arrived at the collision scene, Blostein was in the driver's seat of his car, screaming and wailing hysterically.
Goetz said Blostein told him Murray had stepped in front of his car and he never saw her until he hit her.
Blostein said several times he wanted to die if Murray did not survive, Goetz said, adding he was concerned Blostein may have been suicidal.
Barry Thomson, the safety co-ordinator with Mulder Construction, said flaggers are prohibited from listening to music or having a hand-held device while working, adding such violations are grounds for immediate dismissal.
Thomson said flaggers typically receive a half-day of classroom instruction followed by a half-day shadowing an experienced flagger before they are assigned to work alone.

The Business Case for System-Wide Information ManagementPage(s): 3 - 12| | Quick Abstract | PDF (5959 KB) | | HTML
In today's National Airspace System (NAS), when an application requires information from another application, a custom application-to-application interface is built. This results in an increasingly complex system, where applications are tightly coupled and expensive to develop and maintain. System-Wide Information Management (SWIM) addresses these shortfalls by implementing a shared infrastructure for managing NAS information. SWIM is based on a service-oriented architecture, a fast growing trend in information technology. It will help the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) meet the information-sharing needs of the Next Generation Air Traffic System (NGATS) and the federal government's E-government Initiative. SWIM will reduce the cost, complexity, and cycle time for building new applications and help the FAA implement SWIM-enabled applications that increase FAA and user productivity. View full abstract»
ISS Random Power Failure Hardware ProtectionPage(s): 13 - 19| | Quick Abstract | PDF (3611 KB) | | HTML
Primary source of electric power for the International Space Station (ISS) is the photovoltaic (PV) module. At assembly complete stage, the ISS will be served by four PV modules. Each module contains two independent primary power channels such that one failure will result in loss of only one-half of the power generation capability. During the early stages of assembly, the ISS is served by only one PV module. Flight 12A brings one more module to the ISS and so on until the fourth module is installed during Flight 15A. Power channel components are arranged in orbit replaceable units (ORU) and repairs are accomplished by replacing the failed ORU. While a power channel is operating, all of its ORUs are maintained within their allowable temperature ranges by a balance between the heat generated and heat removed. Heat removal is accomplished either passively or by an active thermal control system (TCS), called photovoltaic thermal control system (PV TCS). The PV module P6 has been operating flawlessly since December 2000 with 100% power availability, as of this writing. This far exceeds the design goal and expectations. However, since a random failure may occur at anytime, the operators must be prepared to handle this situation. An ORU failure may result in dormancy of one or more ORUs; in the worst case, dormancy of all ORUs within one power channel and shutdown of the PV TCS for that power channel. Dormant ORUs may exceed their allowable temperature ranges and that may result in failure of additional ORUs. It is very important to ensure that all dormant, but otherwise operable ORUs remain within their allowable temperature ranges to prevent failure propagation. This describes how the dormant ORUs in the failed power channel will be thermally protected until replacement and restoration has been completed. These procedures use the following processes: (a) backfeed of primary power from another operating power channel, (b) supply of dc control power from the operating chan- nel on the same PV module, and (c) perform thermal control based on the monitored parameters. These procedures have been thoroughly coordinated by all affected technical teams and approved by all required boards. View full abstract»
Next-Generation Thin-Film PhotovoltaicsPage(s): 20 - 24| | Quick Abstract | PDF (3022 KB) | | HTML
Future spacecraft and high-altitude airship (HAA) solar array technologies will require high array specific power (W/kg), which can be met using thin-film photovoltaics (PV) on lightweight and flexible substrates [1]. Thin-film array technology, with thin-film specific array support structure, begin to exceed the specific power of crystalline multi-junction arrays with thin-film device efficiencies as low as 8.5% [2]. Thin-film PV devices have other advantages in that they are more easily integrated into HAAs, and are projected to be much less costly than their crystalline PV counterparts. Furthermore, it is likely that only thin-film array technology will be able to meet device specific power requirements exceeding 1 kW/kg (photovoltaic and integrated substrate/blanket mass only).

The MEMS aerospace market has its own specificities in terms of market size, standards, and performance characteristics (very long term stability, reliability, and safety levels). Improvements are needed for future applications. THALES Avionics has a twenty-year experience in quartz and silicon MEMS design and manufacturing and is recognized as a leader by the French MOD in this field. MEMS pressure sensors and accelerometers are manufactured in large volume and used for safety-critical applications. THALES technology policy focused on planar architecture, die vacuum packaging, and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) allowing good characteristics for sensors in development. A Silicon Vibrating Beam Accelerometer single chip is now under development. Its operating principle is described with two resonators in push-pull configuration. A tuning fork planar rate gyro is also developed with exactly the same technology for industrial efficiency. Performance results will be addressed. The development and industrialization road-map of theses inertial products is described for the following five years. Gyro-compassing grade inertial sensors would be available during the next decade allowing low-cost, high-grade navigators using simultaneously GNSS receivers and inertial MEMS navigators.

Fundamentally, SDN is still mostly about network plumbing. While plumbing may be useful to tinker with, what you can do with your plumbing is far more intriguing. A rigid interpretation of SDN confines it to Layers 2 and 3, and that's reasonable. But SDN opens opportunities for novel constructions in Layers 4 to 7 that solve real operational problems in data centers. "Data center," in fact, might become anachronistic - data is everywhere, constantly on the move, seemingly always overflowing. Net...

Product description
The 40th-anniversary edition of the first Dirk Pitt adventure from the #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author and grand master of adventure. When Clive Cussler published his first novel in 1973, he knew he didn't want to write a familiar kind of character--no spy or detective or undercover investigator-- his hero would have grand adventures set on or under water. He named him Dirk Pitt, and his organization the National Underwater and Marine Agency, or NUMA--and one of the world's most beloved series characters was born. Now in a special 40th-anniversary edition, complete with endpaper maps and a new foreword from Cussler, here is the book that started it all, filled with every one of the Cussler hallmarks: the cutting-edge technology, the treacherous men and exotic women, and, of course, the fabulous plots. On a quiet Greek island, a U.S. air force base has come under attack--by a World War I fighter plane. . . . Now it is up to Dirk Pitt, Al Giordino, and the rest of the NUMA team to root out the elusive truth behind the incident--and find out how it's connected to mysterious acts of sabotage against a scientific expedition, an international smuggling ring, and a dark-haired beauty with some dangerous secrets.

Composer / producer / singer Lydia Ainsworth has been secretly writing and recording songs over the past three years from bedrooms and basements between Toronto and Brooklyn. What began as pass-time sketches between composing music for film and multimedia projects has over time revealed an enchanting collection of experimental pop songs with a life of their own.
Blurring the boundaries between indie music, filmic orchestration, and electronic music, Lydia's debut 'Right From Real' thrives on haunting melodies and draws inspiration from a wide range of musical sources: Verdi's Requiem, Ace of Base, Bulgarian Choirs, Bernard Herrmann, Tones on Tail, Art of Noise, to name a few. This sense of unexpected marriages of influence flows throughout much of Lydia's previous work which features use of voice sampling and string arrangements woven into a unique minimalist fabric.

Ligonier Township solicitor to resign Nov. 1
Ligonier Township solicitor Judith Ciszek will resign effective Nov. 1, according to Supervisor Tim Komar.
Komar said he received a letter of resignation from Ciszek on Monday.
He said the township had recently contacted another attorney to do some work that could have been a conflict of interest for Ciszek.
"We will see if that person can do what we need to do until we can get something in place," he said.
Komar said the supervisors will see if that attorney can work for the township until the end of the year.
Ciszek could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
During the supervisors meeting on Oct. 15, Komar had announced that the township would be accepting letters of interest for solicitor for 2014.
"Two-thirds of our supervisors board will be changed, and I think we should put it out there just to see what's going on," Komar said at the meeting.

Our sales consulting services help organizations adopt business transformation maturity programs to improve their selling effectiveness. This includes adopting it internally and also incorporating it into client solution programs.
Level 5 Solution Selling integrates i) Solution Selling, the sales best practice developed by Mike Bosworth, which improves the skills of individual salespeople, and ii) a maturity model to transform the overall organization to become more solution sales oriented.
Solution selling
When we began our engagement at PSINet the sales team operation was mainly 'transactional' - A telesales approach focused on shifting high volumes of low revenue level deals, averaging around $10k per annum.
Our remit was to expand the organization into the enterprise sector, which we achieved through establishing a Solution Selling major accounts team. As Mike Bosworth says at the beginning of the book "Solution Selling is about making the way you sell as big an advantage as your product or service", and this team pioneered this approach to penetrate the Fortune1000 blue-chips.
Solution Selling provides a framework for junior 'journeymen' salespeople to evolve from product-centric, feature/benefit selling into the consultative approach required for managing high value, complex outsourcing deals. Our team began bringing in the first $100k+ per annum deals which then grew consistently from there to ultimately become $1m+ Internet outsourcing deals.
Furthermore I expanded the principles of Solution Selling to be 'Strategic Selling', adding another dimension of business benefits that considered the overall goals of the organization, where :
- We pioneered the development of new products and solutions. We created the first complex web hosting services for the European market.
- Channel partners - Our channel program established relations across the IT industry, with major partners like IBM and Microsoft, as well as a raft of IT resellers.
- Vertical industry specialism - Solutions were tailored for key sectors like media and finance.
- PR - When first arriving from the USA no one had heard of the organization, and so our key blue-chip wins were publicized to establish the brand.
The results of this program was hugely successful, establishing PSINet as the dominant market leader in the new and exploding enterprise web hosting market, ultimately fostering the growth of the London data-centre market.
Level 5 Transform Selling
In particular a key success of the campaign was that it 'lead the charge', in terms of developing new solutions in response to market needs, demonstrating the principle of what Bosorth calls expanding into your 'conceptual territory', ie. breaking new markets as well as servicing existing demand.
Critically this set a precedent for what was possible, and having blazed these trails other salespeople were quick to follow. They also began to seek out and ultimately win these types of larger deals too, later joining the major accounts team.
This established a career path, an organizational structure that catered for staff being assigned to junior, senior and strategic levels of selling, and progressing through them via training and mentorship.
Building this type repeatable structure is the main reason for using best practice maturity models. In the case of Sales there is the BD-CMM, which provides the 1-5 maturity levels for improving this overall Solution Selling capability of the organization.
Furthermore vendors can improve their sales effectiveness by utilizing business transformation models as a value justification framework for Solution Selling their products.
For example this can be used for Unified Communications tools. This case study we developed at BT, Transforming Team Communications, illustrates this eloquently. This documents how the 'bleep process', one of the most inefficient communications processes within the acute clinical environment, was transformed through a UC deployment.
The paper documents the transformation business case, how the UC installation was justified through a clear business case that identifies the process improvements that deliver the cost savings that pay for it. This business case approach is the backbone of Solution Selling, which is contrast to a product-centric feature/benefit selling and provides a repeatable methodology for building these engaging proposals.
Next - Solution Selling Enterprise Cloud Computing
Following on we'll be defining a program that repeats the approach we utilized at PSINet to build the first enterprise web hosting market, to do the same for this era of Cloud computing.

Investigators: Driver had BAC 4 times legal limit
Updated On: Oct 12 2012 12:28:37 PM CDT
Crash investigators are piecing together more details about a fatal crash on Interstate 80/35 last week.
Both drivers were killed in the crash last Tuesday morning on I-80/35 at Morningstar Drive. The Iowa State Patrol reported a Mini Cooper was traveling east in the westbound lanes just before 1 a.m. when it crashed head-on into a Ford Taurus.
The Mini Cooper's driver, Brandon Anderson, 25, of Des Moines, and Kevin O'Sullivan, 53, of Elizabeth, Illinois, died in the crash.
State Patrol investigators said tests show Anderson's blood alcohol content was .304, which is four times the legal limit.
Investigators also said Anderson was driving in excess of 100 mph. The speedometer has been sent off to a lab to get the exact speed reading at the time of the crash.
Investigators said they believe both cars were traveling at full interstate speed when they collided head-on.
Two other drivers were able to swerve out of the way to avoid the crash.
The crash remains under investigation.

FEMA Site Shows Recovery Money
The federal office that oversees recovery along the Gulf Coast has created a Web site that features details on federal funding set aside to rebuild, repair, or replace the more than 100 New Orleans school campuses damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
The project is intended to offer a clearer picture of how much the government is spending to rebuild public schools in the city, officials said. Called the Transparency Initiative, the Web site plots individual school buildings on a map of New Orleans, and, for now, provides two specific dollar amounts for each campus.
One figure represents how much money has been allocated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The second represents how much of the FEMA funding has been "drawn down" by local school officials for spending or for reimbursement. The map also indicates which school buildings are open and which ones remain closed.
This map above, and accompanying Web site, provide detailed information about the funding that FEMA has provided to the State of Louisiana for schools within the RSD and OPSB.
In most cases, the figures do not represent the total amount of money necessary to rebuild and repair schools, said Karen Burke, the deputy superintendent of operations for the Recovery School District, which runs most of the city's schools. Since Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005, the district has spent roughly $170 million on construction, she said.
The mapping tool—created by the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding—is meant to be the first piece of a much larger project that will outline federal spending on recovery efforts across the entire region affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and across other sectors such as police and fire agencies.
Federal officials said they intend to provide more data on schools as they receive it, including other federal sources of recovery funds, such as grants provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"There has been this void in answering 'Where's the holdup?' " on recovery efforts, said Donald E. Powell, the federal coordinator appointed by President Bush to oversee rebuilding along the Gulf Coast. "If you're a stakeholder, you'll be able to see where it is. This is a tool for both transparency and accountability."
'Incredibly Relevant'
Mr. Powell said providing information on New Orleans schools first made sense because they are key to the rebuilding of neighborhoods. The fate of all of New Orleans' public schools—those already open and those that remain closed—will be decided later this year, when a citywide master plan for school facilities is completed.
Angela W. Daliet, the executive director of Save Our Schools New Orleans, a nonprofit group founded after Katrina to support the opening of high-quality public schools in every neighborhood, said the information is critical.
Education Week's 2007-08 project on the New Orleans schools includes many online-only feature stories, video interviews, photo galleries, Q&As, and more.
Learn more about the series.
"This is incredibly relevant information," said Ms. Daliet, whose organization recently launched its own Web site, www. sosnola.org, to provide detailed information on every public school in the city. "It's only fair for our public to see these figures and have a bigger picture to see where every school stands. This is information we've been struggling to get ourselves."
Ms. Daliet said the information on the federal site will likely raise more questions than it answers. "But to have this information now allows us to ask questions that we may not have known to ask," she said, "and challenge things and hold people accountable."
Paul G. Vallas, the superintendent of the Recovery School District, called the mapping tool "an honest attempt at transparency."
He praised FEMA for changes to rules that have speeded up reimbursements and allowed the district more flexibility in how it spends the federal disaster aid.
