From NBCnews.com
Graco Children's Products is recalling 1.9 million infant car seats, agreeing to government demands in what is now the largest seat recall in American history.
The recall came after a five-month spat between Graco and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Earlier this year the company recalled 4.2 million toddler seats for a harness buckle problem.
But it resisted the agency's demand to recall the infant seats. Buckles can get gummed up by food and drinks, making it difficult to remove children. In some cases parents had to cut harnesses to get their kids out.
The agency says that increases the risk of injuries in emergencies. Graco argued that infant seats are used differently, and in an emergency, an adult can remove the whole seat rather than using the buckle.

UPDATED Friday, March 14, 2014 --- 10:26 a.m.
DETROIT (AP) — Graco Children's Products has added 403,222 child seats to last month's recall of 3.8 million to replace faulty harness buckles.
But the added seats won't end a dispute with the U.S. government's road safety watchdog. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration still wants Graco to add 1.8 million infant seats to the recall because they have the same buckles.
Buckles can get gummed up by food and drinks, making it difficult to remove children. In some cases parents have had to cut harnesses to get their children out. The agency says the problem increases the injury risk in emergencies.
Graco says in a letter to the agency that it found additional toddler and harnessed booster seats that should be recalled. The company still believes the infant seats should be excluded.

UPDATED Friday, March 7, 2014 --- 1:51 p.m.
DETROIT (AP) — The federal government is ordering child seat maker Graco to explain why it didn't include 1.8 million infant seats in a recall for faulty buckles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Graco has until March 20 to explain why last month's recall of 3.8 million child seats didn't include infant seats, which have the same buckles that can get stuck on the child seats.
Graco has said the child seat buckles get stuck because children drop food or drinks on them. It is sending replacement buckles to owners for free. It will also send replacement buckles for infant seats if owners request them.
NHTSA says Graco will face fines of $7,000 per day if its response is late or incomplete.
Graco said Friday it will comply with the request for an explanation.

Posted Wednesday, February 12, 2014 --- 10:04 a.m.
DETROIT (AP) — Graco is recalling nearly 3.8 million car safety seats because children can be trapped by buckles that may not unlatch.
The recall covers 11 models sold from 2009 through 2013.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received at least 80 complaints about the seats. Parents reported having to use excessive force to unlatch the harness buckle. In some cases, the straps had to be cut to free children.
Affected models include Cozy Cline, Comfort Sport, Classic Ride 50, My Ride 65, My Ride with Safety Surround, My Ride 70, Size 4 Me 70, Smartseat, Nautilus, Nautilus Elite and Argos 70.

Teacher Performance Assessment (TPA)
Conceptual Overview
In this assessment, you will describe, analyze, and evaluate the teaching of a 3-5 lesson unit of literacy instruction that will be referred to as a "learning segment". The assessment is built around the proposition that successful teaching is based on knowledge of subject matter and subject-specific pedagogy, knowledge of one's students, involving students in monitoring their own learning process, reflecting and acting on candidate-based and student-based evidence of the effects of instruction on student learning, and considering research/theory about how students learn. The WA TPA assessment is clearly focused on candidate impact on student learning (WAC 181-78A-010 (8-9). To complete the assessment, you will describe your plans and what you actually did to impact student learning (the "what"), provide a rationale for your plans and an analysis of the effects of your teaching on your students' learning (the "so what"), and analyze and reflect on the resulting student learning to plan next steps in instruction or improvements in your teaching practice (the "now what").

Cheviot Hills

|OS grid reference
The Cheviot Hills is a range of rolling hills straddling the Anglo-Scottish border between Northumberland and the Scottish Borders.
The Cheviot is the highest hill in the range at 2,674 ft (815 m). Other notable tops are Hedgehope Hill, Windy Gyle, Cushat Law and Bloodybush Edge. Of the hills mentioned, only Windy Gyle has its summit on the border. The rest are all within England. The English section is protected within the Northumberland National Park.
The centre of the range comprises a Devonian granite outcrop surrounded by Silurian and Devonian andesite lava flows on each side. These are in turn intruded by igneous dykes arranged radially around the Cheviot pluton. The surrounding lower ground is formed from Carboniferous Limestone though much of it is obscured by superficial deposist of Quaternary age.[1]
Although many of the summits top 500 metres, most have a relatively low prominence. Only three rise 150 metres or more above the surrounding terrain: The Cheviot itself, Shillhope Law and Housedon Hill, a small northern outlier (see Marilyn). To the south-west the Cheviots merge into the Kielder Forest group of hills.
There is a broad split between the northern and the southern Cheviots. The former encompass most of the high ground and are pierced by five main valleys:
The southern Cheviot hills encompass the slopes running down to the valley of the river Coquet.
The hills were the site of a battle between English and Scottish forces in "The Ballad of Chevy Chase".
Most of the range on the English side is mapped as 'open country' and hence there is a general right to roam over it as prescribed in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Traditional rights of access in Scotland, bolstered by the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2004 provide for similar access for the public to the north of the border. In addition, a sparse network of public bridleways and footpaths stretches around the area, often providing useful means of access from the lower ground onto the open hills.
The northernmost leg of the Pennine Way runs from Byrness to Kirk Yetholm. It is the longest, and most exposed, on the whole of the national trail. The Way follows the high level Border Ridge (literally the England–Scotland boundary fence) for nearly 20 miles (30 km) after the ascent to the ridge from Byrness. The terrain is boggy and remote, and two mountain refuge huts are situated on the Way for those too tired or weather-beaten to continue.
Otterburn Army Training Estate[edit]
The Otterburn Army Training Estate (ATE) covers about 230 square kilometres of the Southern Cheviots. It is owned by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), and used for training some 30,000 soldiers a year. Otterburn is the UK's largest firing range, and is in frequent use — artillery can be clearly heard from Lindisfarne to the north-east and Fontburn Reservoir in the south. Because of this, recreational use of the area is restricted, although it is possible for the public to use some parts of the estate subject to the relevant bylaws. The MoD publishes a booklet, Walks on Ministry of Defence Lands, which offers advice on this matter (see link below).
The Cheviot Hills are associated with Devonian volcanics.[1] They are arc andesites and basalts and chemistry predominantly calc-alkaline. The formation of the hills was as a result of the Avalonia - Laurentia collision during the Ordovician which subducted the Avalonian crust underneath the Laurentian plate (which Scotland was once on). This created some of the large caledonian igneous provinces throughout the Scottish Highlands.
Peaks over 500 metres in the Cheviot Hills[edit]
The peaks marked with a warning sign () lie within the danger area of the ATE Otterburn artillery range.[verification needed]

Bypass and Decoupling Circuits in Audio Design
Audio circuits having required phase and frequency response can be designed easily if the designer has a full understanding of bypassed screen and cathode circuits and decoupling filters. Rules of thumb and rules applicable only in hf circuits are replaced by easily derived factors which modify the usual gain equations for the triode and pentode.

The Communication Sciences and Disorders Program at the University of Minnesota, Duluth provided undergraduate and graduate education in speech-language pathology. Accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association since 1978, the program prepares students to work in a variety of professional settings and to meet the challenges of serving individuals with diverse communication impairments. Students choose UMD's Communication Sciences and Disorders Program because it offers the courses, the clinical experiences, and the individualized instruction needed to become a skilled speech language pathologist. Up-to-date courses reflecting current needs in the profession area available, such as courses in assistive technology, child language disorders, dysphagia, motor speech disorders, speech science instrumentation, and stuttering. Employers seek graduates from the program because they are well equipped to serve people with communication handicaps. Student have presented their research work at state, national, and international conferences.
The Edwin H. Eddy Foundation and the Communication Sciences and Disorders Program jointly sponsor three workshops each year, featuring prominent leaders in clinical assessment and rehabilitation. These workshops attract speech language pathologists, audiologists, and other professionals from across the nation.
The Communication Sciences and Disorders Program is dedicated to teaching students how to apply academic and research concepts to the realities of clinical practice. Through internships in the University Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic and affiliated internship sites, students readily accrue the varied clinical experience required to obtain the Certificate of Clinical Competence and to prepare for future employment.
UMD, a mid-size campus with a student population of nearly 9000, is one of the four coordinate campuses of the University of Minnesota system. The 1994 U.S. News & World Report ranked UMD as the tenth best regional university in terms of overall quality relative to price. Students who attend UMD enjoy more than a rich academic experience; they experience an impressive living opportunity. Duluth is favored with a low crime rate, the largest health care facilities in the Arrowhead Region, and scores of cultural and sports events. Many students attending UMD take advantage of the natural splendor of the region through skiing at Spirit Mountain, biking on Minnesota point, canoeing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, backpacking the Gunflint Trail, or sailing on Lake Superior.

A witness observed the airplane in aerobatic flight, above a private airstrip, which was less than a mile from the crash site. According to the witness, the airplane flew down the runway about 200 to 400 feet above the ground in straight and level flight. The witness said that he stepped inside for less then a minute, and when he returned outside, the airplane had crashed and was burning. This was a common area for this pilot and others to 'perform and practice low altitude maneuvers and aerobatics.' The area surrounding the accident site was level, but where the airplane first struck trees, the terrain was higher than most of the surrounding area. Based on witness accounts, there was evidence that the pilot miscalculated his altitude over the higher terrain, and that he was in 'inverted flight' before striking the trees. No discrepancies were found with the engine or airframe.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Stattera and I were waiting in Manhattan, waiting for him to call and tell me to show up at Grand Central station, it being so grand and all. But it's also too obvious, obviously, so I thought he'd pick a smaller station.So I was surprised when Grand Central station it was. But when we got there, he didn't show. And didn't show.
And then he called again, and this time the location was a station in Brooklyn. It's not a famous terminal, but it's huge, with lines going everywhere.We had to rush to get there with my camera and big zoom lens, and just barely made it in the time he specified. Once we were there, he called again and told me where to stand. Again, I got in place with seconds to spare. A long wait again. Then he called once more to tell me exactly where he would step off a certain train, and that he would be wearing a purple top hat. I had just focused the camera when I saw the man in the top hat step out.
I was more than a hundred feet away, but with Strattera's help fending off the people rushing by, I stabilized the camera on my tripod, zoomed the lens, and caught him.
He wore a theatrical handlebar mustache and goatee, but he pulled them off as I watched, and removed the hat to look at me full in the face, posing there on the platform, his hands folded in front of him, a small smile on his face, like someone who likes to be photographed because he knows he's photogenic (which he is. Damn is he ever!) I had fifteen seconds to do it, and then he stepped onto another train jam packed with people and disappeared.
I could have tried to follow him, I suppose, but even if we'd had agents in place all over that terminal I doubt we'd have succeeded in that press of people, especially since no doubt he'd soon put one another set of disguises anyway. Anyway, we had no agents, and we wouldn't have done it anyway. Oxadrenals is a gentleman, and someone (no matter how much we might twit him) we regard with great respect and even affection.
Instead, we left to email the photo to Glenn and Stephen. They're running various tests to compare the photos.
Let them. I used my eyes, and I know its the same person. He looks to be in his late twenties or early thirties. Just as he did in a portrait photo taken (according to the museum) in 1881. — Flyss

Biggest wins and flops at the box office in 2012
What's the Deal with Conor Knighton
With the opening of "The Hobbit" this weekend, 2012 may end up being the biggest box office year ever. It's been a good fourth quarter as both "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2" and "Skyfall" have done very well. And earlier in the year, "The Hunger Games" and "The Avengers" raked in tons of cash.
But while it's been a profitable year, it hasn't been the best year for creativity. Out of the ten most successful movies of 2012, only "Brave" and "Ted" weren't based on pre-existing characters from books or other movies.
Part 2012's strength is due to the unexpected success of what could have been some smaller movies. "Argo," "Flight," and "Lincoln" are all recent successes that weren't necessarily guaranteed. Judd Apatow's "This is 40" also opens before the end of the year, and expectations are high for that one as well.
Of course, 2012 also featured some fantastic flops like Katherine Heigl's "One for the Money." This movie was more like "None for No Money." Disney's "John Carter" was a high profile flop and 2012 was not Taylor Kitch's year with "Battleship" proving to be a costly disappointment as well.
Then there was "Ooglieloves," which was widely released in 2012 and no one knew it existed. It's an interactive kids movie that opened over Labor Day weekend and made less than half a million dollars on over 2000 screens.
So, while 2012 has been a year with more options than ever to watch movies at home, it's looking like it's the year in which the most money will be spent in theaters.

Oungre-area farmer Kelly Ashworth is the new president of the Canadian Simmental Association.
Ashworth was elected president during the national organization's annual general meeting at Elkhorn, Manitoba, last month. He said it's a one-year term, with a chance to be elected for additional terms, although most people typically spend two years as president.
He'll have to chair board meetings, and correspond with the organization's general manager on any issues that arise. It's unlikely that Ashworth will have to do any lobbying.
"We have good contacts, and our general manager is actually on pretty good terms with Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz," said Ashworth. "So we're fortunate to have a pretty good relationship there."
The organization has a strong board, he said.
"There's representation from all across Canada," he said. "There are different people from different areas, and the cattle business is different in some areas than others."
It's good to have a cross-section of Simmental breeders on the board, he said.
Ashworth was also re-elected to a second three-year term as a national board member during the annual meeting. Among those also on the board is Lee McMillen of Carievale, who is in his first term on the board.
The Ashworth family has about 300 head of Simmental cattle on their farm in the Oungre area. They have won awards for their cattle, and earlier this year, they were named the Estevan Farm Family of the Year Award recipients.

During cruise flight, the pilot radioed a MAYDAY in which he stated that his experimental jet airplane was disintegrating. A witness flying in the area saw a fast moving object in front him and then a splash in the water. The witness was not able to focus on the object before it hit the water. When he flew over in that area he noted debris in the water as well as debris floating down out of the sky. Portions of the airplane not recovered from the ocean were the tail section with engine, forward cockpit section, and the main and nose landing gear. A failure point was not identifiable in the portions of the wreckage that were recovered. Aircraft logbooks were not made available for the accident airplane. A review of the radar data showed that the flight descended from 13,300 feet to 1,100 feet in 37 seconds.

Many hunters at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' first public hearing on Chronic Wasting Disease made it clear that they had not decided whether to hunt deer this fall.
Bill Rose of Sussex testified Wednesday at the meeting in Waukesha that he has gone hunting for 48 years, but he won't decide on whether to do so this year until he finds out if it's safe.
Rose says that, if he does kill a deer, he definitely will not eat it or let his family eat it.
Meanwhile DNR Secretary Darrell Bazzell said at a Natural Resources Board meeting in Grantsburg that the number of deer-hunting licenses sold this year is down 22 percent from last year because of hunters' worries about the disease in the herd.
Meanwhile, state veterinarian Clarence Sirocky says more game farms will probably be quarantined as officials try to track where infected deer came from.
Chronic Wasting Disease is an incurable brain disease similar to mad cow disease. Experts say there is no scientific evidence the disease can infect humans. But the World Health Organization advises people not to eat any part of a deer with evidence of the disease.

A Huntington woman was charged Thursday in the November death of another woman who had high levels of morphine and other drugs in her system.
Christy D. Oden, 40, is charged with reckless homicide and three counts of dealing controlled substances in the death of Annette Veach.
According to court documents, Oden had prescriptions for oxycodone, oxycontin, oxymorphone, opana and morphine sulfate. She is accused of dealing oxycodone, morphine and oxymorphone to Veach, 39, who was found dead in a Roanoke home Nov. 25.
According to Huntington County Coroner Philip S. Zahm, Veach's death was caused by high levels of morphine in her system. Veach also tested positive for oxycodone and oxymorphone, Zahm said.
Oden told police that she and Veach had been drinking at a bar until about 3 a.m. when they went to a home in the 800 block of North Main Street in Roanoke. Veach had finished several drinks while at the bar, Oden told police.
She told investigators Veach had two white pills with her at the bar and they were going to snort them when they arrived in Roanoke.
What happened when the two women arrived at the home was unclear from police reports, but two men were also in the home throughout the evening.
Both men and Oden told police that drugs were present in the home before Veach's death.
The next day the two men found Veach unconscious and not breathing and called for police, court documents said.
When police arrived about 12:45 p.m. Nov. 25, they found Veach lying in on the floor. She was pronounced dead at the scene, court records said.
Oden was released after posting bail Thursday, according to jail officers.

The Tubular Reactor application is a tool where students can model a nonideal tubular reactor, including radial and axial variations in temperature and composition, and investigate the impact of different operating conditions. It also exemplifies how teachers can build tailored interfaces for problems that challenge the students' imagination. The model and exercise are originally described in Scott Fogler's book Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering. I wish I had access to this type of tool when I was a student!Read more ⇢

The Beckham and Maradona curl obtained with the inside of the soccer cleat (football boot), and the curl by Eder, Nelinho, and Roberto Carlos with the outside of the cleat, is due to the Magnus effect. The effect is named after the scientist who first observed it in a laboratory in the 1850s. The Magnus effect explains the side-force on a sphere that is both rotating and moving forward. Here, we use it to analyze the World Cup™ match ball.Read more ⇢

My Blog
James Turk continues:
"But this is no time for complacency. The financial, monetary and economic conditions are so bad, that the situation could spin out of control at any second. Because these problems are not being solved, the point is that everything will spin out of control.
When that happens - as you and I have mentioned many times to the KWN audience around the globe - the best way to protect yourself and your family is with tangible assets....
Continue reading the James Turk interview below...
To hear which company has one of the highest grade gold deposits
in the entire world, as well as a number of other
extraordinary projects click on the logo:
"In other words, anything real. That could include farmland, timberland, your house, an oil well or any other tangible asset. And the most liquid of these are gold and silver, which of course is why they have been used as money for thousands of years.
The latest important news is that Moody's just downgraded Italy's debt again. This downtrend in the quality of its debt is ominous, and one has to wonder why anyone would own any Italian debt. Italian government debt is now 8 notches from the highest credit rating and just 2 notches above junk. And total Italian government debt is now approaching EUR 2 trillion.
Think about that for a moment, Eric. This debt mountain is only 2 notches above junk. Consider all the banks, central banks, pension plans and other institutional investors that own this debt. What are they going to do if the Italian economy - like most of Europe - continues heading lower, making repayment of the debt difficult if not impossible? What are they going to do if this debt is eventually downgraded again to junk?
The European banks own a lot of Italian government debt. The ECB also owns a lot too, either outright or as collateral, which the ECB unbelievably accepts this paper at 100% face value.
So here is what is going on in Europe. An Italian bank loses deposits because of the silent bank runs that are underway. Also, no other banks are willing to lend to it because of the uncertain quality of its loan book. The Italian bank then uses the Italian bonds it owns, as collateral, to borrow, from the ECB, the euros it needs to replace the deposits it lost.
So instead of the euro being backed by quality borrowers, more and more backing is coming from paper from over-leveraged governments like Italy, whose paper Moody's is telling us is declining in value and near junk. Because of the accounting involved, this insidious process is hidden from anyone who doesn't understand bank balance sheets.
But there is a simple analogy, it is nothing more than clipping coins, just like kings and Roman emperors used to do. This modern clipping is harder to detect because a euro looks the same and the clipping comes from the accounting sleight of hand, but it is clipping nonetheless. The content - the quality - of the euro is eroding.
The key point, Eric, is that all fiat currency is being clipped to some extent, so it is dangerous to be in any kind of paper. The big risk here is not owning any physical metal."
Turk also noted: "Moving to the US, over the past few weeks, three cities in California have filed for bankruptcy. The only difference between them and Italy is that they do not have a central bank bending over backwards to keep them afloat."
Turk also had this to say regarding gold and silver: "The bears and central planners have had every opportunity to break support under $1600 and under $27, even if just to gun for stops under these levels. But the precious metals have held firm. It is an impressive performance, but I am more impressed by the rally in gold and silver that started last week.
There is a new factor at work that is about to light a fire under the precious metals that few people recognize - food inflation. It was one of the key drivers in the summer of 2010 which launched the huge rally that eventually took silver near $50 and gold to a new record over $1900. Food inflation was also a factor in the big run-up of the precious metals in 2007, and early 2008, when food riots broke out around the globe because of high prices.
The worsening drought in the midwest means that food inflation will again become one of the drivers sending gold, silver and the mining shares much higher from here. The summer doldrums are over. Gold and silver are ready to get exciting once again. We can expect a rally from here that will take our breath away."

Turk - Summer Doldrums Over, Gold & Silver To Explode
With volatility in global markets, today King World News interviewed James Turk out of Europe. Turk told KWN, "The financial, monetary and economic conditions are so bad ... that everything will spin out of control." He also warned, "There is a new factor at work that is about to light a fire under the precious metals that few people recognize - food inflation." He went on to say, "We can expect a rally from here that will take our breath away."
Here is what Turk had to say about what is happening: "The sentiment indicators for gold and silver have been exceptionally low for weeks now, Eric, which is understandable given their lackluster performance during this period, as well as the downright discouraging performance of the mining shares."

What camera do you use?
I've used many cameras on this blog, as I'm always trying to catch up with ever changing technology. I currently take my pictures with a Canon 6D, but I've used a Nikon D5100, Nikon D40, D40x, D80, D90, D7000, and Canon Rebel T2i in the past.
What does DB stand for?
Dear Boyfriend
With all of your baking, how do you stay thin?
Truth of the matter is that I give out 90 percent of what I bake. I either bring it to work, give it to my DB's friends, or take them to get togethers. I only take bites of what I make to test it out, so that I know what I need to adjust the next time around. I also take bites for photos.
Out of all the things that you've baked, what is your favorite?
For cakes, it's hands down my aunt's carrot cake recipe. As for cookies, I'm a simple cookie kinda gal. Snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies will do. Oh, these Nutella ones sure hit the spot as well.
What platform is your blog hosted on?
I started out on Blogger, but recently made the move to WordPress.
Do you make a living off of blogging?
I wish! I actually work full time as a flight attendant. Blogging doesn't give you health benefits, you know.
Do you get paid to blog?
Literally, no. I don't get paid for every post I make, but I do get some revenue from ad space and sponsored posts.
What did you study in school?
I was a Political Science major because I originally intended to go into law. It wasn't until the end of my junior year that I realized law was definitely not for me. At least one good thing came from it; If it wasn't for me being a poli sci major, I never would have gotten to know my DB! (He was a psychology major with a political science as a minor, so we shared the same class… but that's a whole other story)
What ethnicity are you?
I'm vietnamese, although no one ever guesses that on the first try.
Who taught you how to bake?
Everything that I do in the kitchen, I taught myself. I've learned and keep learning from my own experiences. My mom never baked, like….ever. There were never any baked goods in my house, so I'm making up for it in mine.
Do you own a Kitchenaid mixer?
Yes! It's made a world of a difference in my kitchen and gets used almost daily.
Any advice on starting my own blog?
Buy your domain name right away! Keep your URL short and easy to remember. Post often, post pictures, and write about things you know and love. There may be a lot of negativity in the blog reader world, but keep your head up! Don't let one negative comment ruin your blogging path.

It doesn't have the melodrama of Tonya Harding putting out a hit on Nancy Kerrigan, but the ice-skating show The Memory of All That... Gershwin on Ice should appeal to fans of the composer brothers. The performance celebrates the centennial of American composer George Gershwin's (18981937) birth while also saluting his brother and sometime cowriter, Ira (18961983). Skaters, including 1996 U.S. men's figure skating champion Rudy Galindo, glide to original recordings of Al Jolson singing "Swanee" and Ethel Merman on "I Got Rhythm." Full production numbers are set to the symphonies "Rhapsody in Blue" and "An American in Paris," plus selections from the American folk opera Porgy and Bess. A singer-narrator provides the musical history. The show starts at 8 p.m. at the Coral Springs City Center Theatre, 2855 Coral Springs Dr., Coral Springs. Ticket prices range from $30 to $35. Call 954-344-5990.

Valentine's Day is a bummer for singles. But the love-scorned can take their revenge (legally) by pushing pins into voodoo dolls with red heart patches sewn onto their chests or giving their unspecial someone a black leather rose with a barbed wire stem. Those items, plus a selection of dark art, are included in the Broken Hearts Art Show from the cheery folks at L'Art Noir Studios and Gallery (842 SW 2nd St., Fort Lauderdale). The bizarre exhibition of "happy" skeleton art, cemetery photos, bondage leatherwork gift baskets, dark paintings, and sculptures of dismembered heads and faces is an alternative to all of the lovey-dovey stuff going on this week. The event takes place SoHo-style in the apartments of the artists, which are located in a '20s home in historic Sailboat Bend. It's free and runs Friday (7 to 10 p.m.), Saturday (6 to 10 p.m.), and Sunday (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Call 954-728-9533.
Wexford, Ireland, native Larry Kirwan sings of young lovers parting ways with kisses and promises as one of them heads off to America. Bandmate Chris Byrne ups the emotional ante with trills from a haunting tin whistle. Sound like a scene from a quaint Irish pub? Not quite. Byrne is an Irish-American from Brooklyn, and his and Kirwan's band, Black 47, is a Celtic-based outfit whose songs are a mix of raucous rock, New Wave, even jazz. The New York-based group will perform tonight as part of Irish Fest '98. No, we don't have the wrong date; South Florida's proud Irish-Americans just couldn't wait until Saint Patrick's Day for a big party. The festival's lineup includes Celtic-Cajun music from the Steve Riley Band on Saturday and a Gaelic Mass at 11 a.m. Sunday, followed by a performance by Irish comedian Hal Roach. Ceili dancing and an Irish food fair are also part of the festivities at the Dublin Pub Tent -- billed as Florida's largest Irish pub. It's set up in Bubier Park, Las Olas Boulevard and Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale. Hours are 5 to 11 p.m. Friday; noon to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $10. Call 954-946-1093.

For "Animal Athletic Adventures," kids from preschool to age twelve will compete with animals to learn all about the creatures and their habitats -- sort of. Let's face it: Letting the tykes and animals go head-to-head would involve detailed disclaimer forms -- and probably unfit-parent charges. So, instead, kids and critters will compete indirectly. For example, after the zoo staff teaches a lesson on kangaroos and how far they leap (up to 26 feet), the kids will measure their best efforts against a "kangaroo jump" diagram on the ground. They'll also match animals with their habitats (e.g., fish to water). The educational games are part of Parenting Plus magazine's We Care Kids Fair, which features face painters, magicians, a bounce house, sand art, clowns, and live music. It takes place at the Palm Beach Zoo at Dreher Park (1301 Summit Blvd., West Palm Beach), and admission is $4 to $6. Hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and Sunday. Call 561-533-0887.
As explicit as the fourth-century Hindu sex manual Kamasutra is, its authors -- who wrote it for married couples -- would probably blush while watching John Bachman spread neon liquid-latex paint over the bodies of two male and four female dancers on stage. The spectacle takes place tonight for the Valentine's Day bash Kama Sutra. The dancers will writhe to progressive house music on the main floor of the Theater nightclub while drum 'n' bass songs pulsate upstairs in the Prop Room. Following the dancers will be an erotic fashion show, featuring leather, latex, and rubber clothing and fetish wear. Partygoers with a VIP hand stamp ($35) will conclude the evening with an after-show party, while those who paid the regular price ($20) dance the night away. The Theater is located at 3339 N. Federal Hwy., Fort Lauderdale, 954-565-5522.

Builders may not be the most popular people in South Florida today, but pioneer builder Ed King did a bang-up job when it came to constructing his own house in the heart of then-burgeoning Fort Lauderdale. In 1907 he found prime land near the New River, then built the frame house using super-durable Dade County pine. Because King's daughter, Louise, married Bloxham Cromartie, scion of another prominent family, the place is known as the King-Cromartie House, which is designated as a Fort Lauderdale Historic Site. Recently renovated, the house features an early 1900s icebox, a wood-burning stove, and tiger-oak furniture, which are on view as part of the Sailboat Bend House and Garden Tour and Park Festival today. Six historic homes and two other historic sites are part of the trolley tours, which depart from the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society (219 SW 2nd Ave.) from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets cost $10. The festival runs during the same hours at Maj. William Lauderdale Park (SW 11th Avenue and SW 4th Street) featuring a bake sale, antiques, and art. It's free. Call 954-779-7913.

Two major decisions published by the Supreme Court last week, Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, emphasize the importance for employers to have a formal written policy against sexual harassment, which is disseminated to all employees. The cases held that:
Practical Tips
- When a supervisor fires, demotes, fails to promote or otherwise punishes an employee for not giving in to a sexual request, the employer will be automatically liable, even if the employer is unaware of the supervisor's misconduct and has a strong anti-harassment policy.
- An employer can be held liable for its supervisor's unwelcome and threatening sexual advances, even if the supervisor does not carry out his/her threats and the employee suffers no job-related harm.
- An employer will be automatically liable for a hostile work environment created by its supervisor, unless the employer can show both that it "exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior" and that the complaining employee "unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided" by the employer.
Practical Tips
The message of these decisions is clear: employers must be proactive in policing sexual harassment in the workplace and serious when responding to employee complaints. Thus, an employer should:
- Re-examine its sexual harassment policy to make sure it contains:
- An express, unequivocal statement prohibiting sexual harassment;
- A definition of sexual harassment (with examples);
- An easy, effective and sensible complaint procedure, designating persons to whom employees may complain (including persons other than an employee's direct supervisor);
- A guarantee of no retaliation for making a complaint; and
- A statement of tough corrective measures that the Company will take against sexual harassers.
- Recirculate its policy to all employees, at least semi-annually.
- Require employees to sign an acknowledgement that they have received a copy of the policy and have read and understand it.
- Hold awareness seminars periodically to educate employees about avoiding prohibited conduct, as well as the specifics of the sexual harassment policy and grievance procedures.
- Require managers to attend training seminars to better prepare them to handle employee complaints of sexual harassment.
- Consider having hiring, firing and promotion decisions made by a committee or group, rather than by simply one person.
