This economy profile for Doing Business 2015 presents the 11 Doing Business indicators for Sierra Leone. To allow for useful comparison, the profile also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. ... See More + Doing Business 2015 is the 12th edition in a series of annual reports measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business; for 2015 Sierra Leone ranks 140. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 189 economies from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and over time. Doing Business measures regulations affecting 11 areas of the life of a business known as indicators. Ten of these areas are included in this year's ranking on the ease of doing business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures labor market regulation, which is not included in this year's ranking. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2014 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period from January to December 2013). See Less -

Implementation Status and Results Report SEP 20, 2014
Ceesay,Ismaila B.
The 2014 outbreak of the Ebola virus disease in West Africa has taken a horrible human toll. Although the outbreak originated in rural Guinea, it has hit hardest in Liberia and Sierra Leone, in part because it has reached urban areas in these two countries, a factor that distinguishes this outbreak from previous episodes elsewhere. ... See More + As of September 10, 2014, there had been 2,281 recorded deaths out of 4,614 suspected or confirmed cases of Ebola. Epidemiological estimates are acknowledged as highly uncertain and are not the subject of this note. What is certain is that, particularly in Liberia and Sierra Leone, government capacity is already overrun and the epidemic is impacting macroeconomic activity and budgetary resources. This report informs the response to the epidemic by estimating these macroeconomic and fiscal effects. Any such exercise is necessarily highly imprecise due to limited data and many uncertain factors, but it is still necessary in order to plan the economic assistance that must accompany the immediate humanitarian response. The goal is to help affected countries to recover and return to the robust economic growth they had experienced until the offset of this crisis. This report presents the World Bank's preliminary estimates of the economic impact of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa for 2014 and 2015. Section 2 presents a single set of 2014 estimates for Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, based on available data on current economic activity as well as assumptions about the near-future impact. It also highlights current data on the limited current impacts on other countries in the region. Section 3 presents estimates for the impact by the end of 2015 for Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Because the epidemic and the behavioral responses to it have more time to diverge over the course of 2015, Section 3 presents two scenarios for 2015, which vary in the optimism of their assumptions regarding the epidemic and the success of donor and government policy and efforts to control it. The take-away messages from this analysis are a low Ebola scenario that corresponds to rapid containment within the three most severely affected countries, and a high Ebola scenario corresponds to slower containment in the three countries, with some broader regional contagion. A swift policy reaction by the international community is crucial. With potential the economic costs of the Ebola epidemic being so high, very substantial containment and mitigation expenditures would be cost-effective, if they successfully avert the worst epidemiological outcomes. To mitigate the medium term economic impact of the outbreak, current efforts by many partners to strengthen the health systems and fill the fiscal gaps in the core three countries are key priorities. Finally, this report does not take into account the longer term impacts generated by mortality, failure to treat other health conditions due to aversion behavior and lack of supply capacity, school closings and dropouts, and other shocks to livelihoods. It is truly focused on the short and medium-term inputs, over the next 18 months. See Less -
Working Paper 90748 SEP 17, 2014
The development objective of the Ebola Emergency Response Project for Africa is to contribute in the short term to the control of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak and the availability of selected essential health services, and mitigate the socioeconomic impact of EVD in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. ... See More + The project comprises of three components. The first component, support to the EVD outbreak response plans and strengthening essential health services will contribute to finance critical gaps in ongoing emergency response efforts funded by governments and development partners in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The second component, human resources scale up for outbreak response and essential health services will supplement the efforts of governments and other partners to motivate and reward health workers in the affected countries to work on the EVD emergency response and provide other essential health services. The third component, provision of food and basic supplies to quarantined populations and EVD affected household's aims to improve access to food and other basic supplies for the EVD affected households in the quarantined areas and other hot zones in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

Project Appraisal Document PAD1134 SEP 10, 2014
A textbook provision program in Sierra Leone demonstrates how volatility in the flow of government-provided learning inputs to schools can induce storage of these inputs by school administrators to smooth future consumption. ... See More + This process in turn leads to low current utilization of inputs for student learning. A randomized trial of a public program providing textbooks to primary schools had modest positive impacts on teacher behavior but no impacts on student performance. In many treatment schools, student access to textbooks did not actually increase because a large majority of the books were stored rather than distributed to students. At the same time, the propensity to save books was positively correlated with uncertainty on the part of head teachers regarding government transfers of books. The evidence suggests that schools that have high uncertainty with respect to future transfers are more likely to store a high proportion of current transfers. These results show that reducing uncertainty in school input flows could result in higher current input use for student learning. For effective program design, public policy programs must take forward-looking behavior among intermediate actors into account. See Less -

The objective of the Second Phase of the Reproductive and Child Health Project for Sierra Leone is to increase utilization of a package of essential health services by pregnant and lactating women and children under the age of five. ... See More + The restructuring of the project is needed to address the emergency situation in Sierra Leone (SL). This Level 1 restructuring will be part of an overall Bank emergency response to the ongoing Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) crisis. It will allow for an emergency response to support the Government of SL which faces an urgent need for assistance to support its response to an increasing number of people infected with the Ebola Viral Disease (EVD). Approval of the Board is sought for this restructuring which will introduce a number of changes to the Reproductive and Child Health Project - Phase 2 and amendments to the projects legal documents. The proposed changes include: (i) revising the PDO to include support the emergency response needed to contain and control the Ebola crisis; (ii) adding a new component (component three) which focuses directly on the provision of emergency Ebola-related services; (iii) reallocating US$6 million from component one to component three to allow for the financing of component three; (iv) revising the implementation arrangements by amending the procurement plan to allow for potential contracting of UN agencies and/or other international organizations/NGOs to deliver emergency services to the population and by changing the disbursement arrangements to use the UN Advance procedures for the new component; and (v) revising the Results Framework to reflect changes in the scope of the project.

Project Paper RES15875 AUG 04, 2014
Ratings for the Bumbuna Hydroelectric Environmental and Social Management Project for Sierra Leone were as follows: outcomes were moderately unsatisfactory, the risk to development outcome was high, the Bank performance was moderately unsatisfactory, and the Borrower performance was also moderately unsatisfactory. ... See More + Some lessons learned included: the measures necessary for environmental and social safeguards compliance were revised and extended several times during project implementation. Many of the revisions were initiated by the two panels of experts. For instance, the size of the environmental offset was revised upwards, including the addition of the Loma Mountain National Park. The number of people to be compensated under the resettlement action plan, or RAP also was revised during project implementation. The installation of a siren system was added when the recruitment of an experienced operator did not take place in time. While adjusting the social and environmental activities to changing circumstances is sometimes necessary, the scope and frequency of revisions is notable. The Bank's environmental and social safeguards policies apply to the entirety of an infrastructure project supported by the Bank and its associated facilities, regardless of the extent of Bank support. In the case of the Bumbuna project, most construction activities already had been completed when International Development Association, or IDA financing became effective. The project tried to retrofit good performance on a hydropower development that was already near completion. As the Bank was not financing construction, it had no formal relationship with the contractor. Given the frequent power outages in Sierra Leone, the GoSL's interest was mainly on commissioning BHP as soon as possible. After project restructuring, the operation exclusively supported environmental and social activities. See Less -

The development objective of the Revitalizing Education Development in Sierra Leone (REDISL) Project for Sierra Leone is to improve the learning environment in targeted schools and establish systems for monitoring of education interventions and outcomes. ... See More + The project comprises of three components. The first component is improving the learning environment and opportunities in targeted areas. Financial incentives will be provided to schools based on delivery of outputs and the amount disbursed will be based on the results that schools achieve. The second component is to strengthen education service delivery. This component is funded by the REDiSL multi-donor trust fund (MDTF) and will provide support in the following three areas through the three sub-components: (i) implementing and monitoring specific elements of the education sector strategy; (ii) coordinating donor activities in education; and (iii) addressing capacity gaps at the ministry and local levels. The third component, project management and supervision will cover the inputs required to provide necessary support to the ministry of education, science, and technology (MEST) for administrative management of the operation.

Google Sued Over Toolbar Sending Data While Turned Off
Jason Weber is suing Google over how the Google Toolbar in the past sent data to Google even while the toolbar was turned off. The suit was filed on November 5th by Webner and his attorneys, KamberLaw, based in New York.
The plaintiff is suing on his "personal" experience and claims that the toolbar was still transmitting page data to Google in the background even when the enhanced toolbar was turned off. They claim that Google knew about the problem for months but did not fix the issue until much later. Much of this case cites Ben Edelman's findings back in January 2010, where disabling the Google Toolbar did not stop Google from tracking you. Google back then acknowledged the issue, said it only impacted a specific version of Internet Explorer and issues a fix after Edelman posted the details of the issue.
Jason Weber seems to be suing based on this report, amongst other personal experiences.
Weber is suing for the profits Google made from this issue, $100 per day per violation, $10,000 per user and legal fees.

Delivering outstanding low-frequency performance, the 720-watt NX720S powered subwoofer has been designed from the ground up to be the ideal companion for any medium sized live sound or DJ PA. Although it is the perfect match for the NX55P it will match well to many other system. Intended for a variety of applications, the NX720P uses a single long excursion neodymium magnet 15-inch woofer to deliver maximum output over the entire 40 to 150 Hz range.
The NX720S has sophisticated processing circuitry that protects the driver while maximizing the use of the available power. This processing has been carefully optimized to complement the characteristics of the driver and enclosure system. The fast limiter protects against clipping and over excursion. It is located with both high and low pass filters on either side of the limiter to guarantee that only the correct frequency content reaches the driver. The slow (RMS) limiter is equalized to adjust for the impedance variations of the loudspeaker system over frequency. This ensures the maximum output of continuous bass prevalent in today''s music while ensuring protection of the driver against overheating. The carefully tailored attack and release times ensure that the maximum level is available from the system.
The input section in the NX720S allows for a variety of system configurations. There are two input sections allowing two signals to be blended into the NX720S. This allows stereo left and right signals to be summed into one NX720S while preserving channel seperation of the stereo signals. Each input section has XLR male and female jacks to allow loop thru of line level signals. In addition one input section also has two 1/4-inch jacks that may be used for loop thru of line or speaker level signals. Within each section all jacks are connected in parallel.
Simple controls on the NX720S include an input gain control (Volume), variable high frequency cut-off and low-frequency tunable bass boost. The variable high frequency cutoff is adjustable from 90 to 150 Hz to trim the subwoofers low-pass filter to suit whatever full range cabinets are being used with this sub. A low-frequency tunable bass boost adjustable from 45 to 90 Hz has been included to allow subtle customizing of the bass character.
Proven Class D amplifier technology allows the NX720S to operate without a fan while preserving ample thermal margin. The low heat dissipation of this technology eliminates the need for large heavy heat sinks. The light weight neodymium driver further reduces the overall weight.
The NX720S uses a solid 5/8th-inch 11-ply Russian birch plywood cabinet construction with an all-metal heavy gauge perforated grille to protect the speaker and electronic components. Integrated all metal bar handles and metal speaker-stand pole-mount have been included.

NX Series Overview
NX - Not all man made materials are created equal, acoustically speaking…
The NX Series loudspeaker cabinets have undergone a constant evolution since the flagship model, the NX20, was introduced in early 2000. Along the way, improvements in the molding process have led to the use of tougher, lightweight, low resonance variable density composite materials, use of denser foam in select locations and redesigned part geometry for a much sturdier and a much stronger molded loudspeaker box.
The NX Series cabinets now have a smoother, more rugged and more professional final finish. Select cabinets are now available in either the standard black finish for touring or club system PA applications, or in white paintable finish for fixed installations.
All cabinets in the NX Series are molded for maximum versatility, and all boxes can be used as either a full range front of house enclosures, as floor monitors or as installation loudspeakers. Integrated flypoints, recessed handles, dent resistant all metal grilles and integrated stand mount adaptors are included on all NX Series cabinets ensuring maximum flexibility. Speakon and 1/4-inch connectors on the passive cabinets (XLR and TRS balanced connectors on the active loudspeakers) ensure simple and secure connectivity. All NX Series cabinets are UV and moisture resistant and can be used in outdoor applications.
The trapezoid box is ideal for mounting in arrays, or for use as a monitor, with recessed input jack plate and an ideal wedge monitor angle that was taken into account in the initial design. Neither application was considered as an afterthought. Stand mount and flying hardware are also available.

Indecent proposal: Hedge fund makes 'unsolicited' bid for Riverbed
An unwanted bid to take over WAN optimiser Riverbed for $3.1bn has been mounted by hedge fund Elliott Associates.

$3M profit values the Company at $3.1B WTF
Methinks that someone is going to get their fingers burned rather badly here.
Re: $3M profit values the Company at $3.1B WTF
"Methinks that someone is going to get their fingers burned rather badly here."
They are in the business of investing, so they will assess their investments based on a lot more criteria than a single years profit.
You are forgetting the rest of the company assets, buildings, hardware, and general infrastructure, long running contracts guaranteeing future business and that's before you step foot into the patent room which could be worth billions on their own.
Re: $3M profit values the Company at $3.1B WTF
Q3 2013 profit was $3M - in 2012 they had a net profit of $54M on revenue of $548M and a further $280M sitting in the bank.
I don't know enough about Riverbed to explain the dip in profits in Q3.
Utter t*ssers. Kill innovation (by, for instance, starving it of money) and you kill long-term growth for a mild short-term gain.
Yes but, what you have to remember is that these people are not in it to support the company for the long haul - they are just after short/medium term return on their investment!
Please leave my beloved Riverbed alone ://

by Ed Namowitz The Netherlands has a history of being more tolerant of cannabis use than other countries. Cannabis is classified as a "soft drug." It has been decriminalized since 1976. Individuals can possess up to 5 grams of marijuana at a time. Traditionally, stores known as coffee shops can sell marijuana, but are not allowed to purchase or grow it.

A new wide-ranging California study is showing that 92% of medical marijuana users say the medicine works to alleviate the symptoms of various "serious" medical conditions.

Where do all those millions of marijuana plants come from? Answer: Some come from seeds, and most of them come from clones. Most medical marijuana dispensaries carry clones as one of their product offerings. They range in price from $10-$20 each, depending on the strain. That means that wholesale clone providers are doing plenty of business, especially during the outdoor planting season. Marijuana cloning has historically been taken for granted as something that just happens as part of the cultivation process, but it's actually not that easy for a lot of people.

By Ed Namowitz Although marijuana laws have been relaxed in many parts of the US in recent years, it is still illegal in most of the country. Twenty-three states and Washington D.C. have some form of medical marijuana law and two of those states have legalized it for recreational use.

Balancing pH is perhaps the most challenging and important part of being a successful marijuana grower. pH must be within a certain range (5.5-6.3) pretty much all the time in order to get great yields, quality, and potency.

One of our earlier articles discussed the genetic heritage and reproductive limitations of autoflowering seeds. After further research, we will now be discussing yield, potency, and then feminization in our next article. You might notice looking at the specs on various autoflowering varieties that the yields look suspiciously low. This is because the genetic mix that causes them to flower quickly also limits their vegetative growth potential by a LOT. If a seed starts to flower within 2 weeks of sprouting, you shouldn't expect much in the way of branching. More likely, you'll get one … [Click on Image or Green Title Above to Read More]

At least five teams have contacted Derek Lowe about the right hander pitching for them in 2013. Lowe, 39, still believes he can serve as a big league starter and has turned down those offers. Teams contacting Lowe have asked about him being a swing man. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve heard the same thing from everyone,ŌĆØ Lowe said. ŌĆ£I want to be a starter and feel I have a lot left in being a regular starter in a rotation and making my 30-plus starts. I can still do that. ItŌĆÖs frustrating to see other starters who have come off injuries get a shot, and IŌĆÖve never been hurt and can still help a team. IŌĆÖm sure things will get going for me in January. I want to pitch. IŌĆÖm nowhere near ready to retire.ŌĆØ Lowe split last season between the Indians and Yankees. Lowe finished 2012 with a 9-11 record and a 5.11 ERA. He made 21 starts for the Indians and appeared in 17 games as a reliever for the Yankees.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Canadian fashion observers remember 'fearless' Rivers for red carpet commentary
TORONTO - Canadian fashion observers remembered the late Joan Rivers on Thursday as a trailblazer in TV fashion commentary, saying that her comedic background served her well to deliver both praise and biting critiques of red carpet style.
Rivers and her daughter, Melissa, pioneered award-show red carpet coverage when, in 1996, the duo began hosting "Live From the Red Carpet'' for E! Entertainment Television.
Related Items
After leaving the network in 2004, they returned in 2010 with "Fashion Police" where Rivers led a panel that critiqued style choices of the stars.
In her assessment of the best and worst dressed stars at the 2008 Oscars, Rivers said the form-fitting coppery gown worn by Faye Dunaway "wasn't really a dress — it was kind of like Spanx with sparkles on it." And when asked in a 2013 interview with The Associated Press what she thought of Adele's Grammy outfit, she replied that the singer "looked like she was sitting on a teapot."
"I think the most important thing that she did was add a sense of humour which is not really that present when you take yourself too seriously — which is probably what a lot of us do," said Randi Bergman, executive digital editor for Fashion Magazine.
Charlotte Herrold, associate fashion editor at Elle Canada, said that Rivers was able to get away with being brash on the red carpet because of her career and reputation as a comedian — one who was known for her sarcastic humour.
"She was fearless and you really got the sense that she wasn't holding back in her commentary, and that's something that's very rare on TV and, I guess, in life in general," she said.
Growing up, Herrold said she can recall Rivers being the "voice in the background" at red carpet events and the first person that came to mind when it came to that form of coverage — one she helped expose to a wider audience.
"There weren't really many opportunities for people to access that kind of high fashion on a regular basis as they are today," she said.
"The red carpet was one of the only opportunities that people tuning into their TVs had to see these gorgeous gowns from big name designers, and she really brought that to people with her commentary and drawing attention to that as well
Lisa Tant, vice-president, fashion editor at Holt Renfrew, said Rivers helped popularize and create a distinctive red carpet critique.
"There was Mr. Blackwell, but I think Joan put more of a public face on it, said Tant, a reference to the late designer who skewered celebrity fashion crimes on his annual worst-dressed list.
"I think she often said what everyone else was thinking but no one had the courage to say. With her, she was very gutsy and funny, but at the heart of it, I think she always rooted for the underdog, and I believe people knew that."
Despite her often cutting remarks, Tant said she always saw Rivers and her role as simply seeking to entertain.
"I always knew that's what it was for. She wasn't there to beat down people," she said. "She had a very difficult life as well, and I think that was part of her comedy routine, so it was something that I never took seriously. I thought it was fun and not intended to be mean-spirited."
Bergman said that she thought the comedian's fashion-related jibes were "all in good fun."
"If you're a celebrity, you're asking for the good and the bad. Sometimes people can cross the line, but I sort of feel like all's fair in that department," she said. "My only feeling of her was that her style and her critiques were kind of mainstream. ...
"Tilda Swinton, for example, is somebody that the fashion industry loves and people like that that are more avant-garde, Lady Gaga ... that really wasn't her cup of tea which is something I always found interesting about her. A straight-forward beautiful gown is a Joan Rivers thing."
Indeed, Swinton's draped one-sleeved Lanvin creation worn by the star when she took home the best supporting actress prize at the 2008 Oscars landed on Rivers' worst dressed list.
Still, some celebrities who were the brunt of Rivers' jibes seemed to take pride in being the target of her barbs.
"RIP Joan Rivers. Being publicly told that my dress is hideous will never feel quite as awesome. You will be truly missed." tweeted Oscar-nominated actress Anna Kendrick.
"So sad to hear about the great #JoanRivers. I'll never forget how excited I was the first time she made fun of me on TV, I knew I'd made it!" tweeted Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha.

Supreme Court says Manchester man who lost towed car while hospitalized can sue
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that the law is on the side of a Manchester man who had his car towed six years ago from his apartment parking lot during a snowstorm.
Despite the unanimous ruling and thousands in legal bills, the saga is not over for David Pelkey, who wants compensation for his 2004 Honda Civic. The appeal reversed a pretrial decision that had found in favor of the defendant, Dan's City Auto Body & Towing Service.
"This just gets us back to square one and allows us to have a trial," said Brian Shaughnessy, Pelkey's lawyer. Shaughnessey said his legal bills far exceed the $12,000 value of the 2004 Honda.
Dan's City lost its appeal before the New Hampshire Supreme Court last year.
"Obviously, we're disappointed in the ruling. The Supreme Court only takes cases it considers important," said Andre Bouffard, the Burlington, Vt., lawyer who argued on behalf of Dan's City.
Pelkey sued Dan's City, claiming it did not follow state consumer protection laws when it disposed of his car after towing it in February 2007. Pelkey was in the hospital at the time, having his leg amputated because of complications from diabetes, Shaughnessy said.
He suffered a heart attack and remained hospitalized for two months, according to the ruling. Unable to find him, Dan's City put the car up for auction and then traded it, despite hearing from Pelkey's lawyer at the last minute that he wanted the car back, the ruling said.
Dan's City lawyers said Pelkey had no claim because federal laws that govern the trucking industry trump New Hampshire's consumer protection law.
In a ruling written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, justices said such a federal preemption would prevent anyone such as Pelkey from seeking a legal remedy. And preemption would void the state laws relied upon by tow companies to sell or dispose of unclaimed cars.
"No such design can be attributed to a rational Congress," Ginsburg wrote.
Bouffard said the ruling narrows the principle of federal preemption, and that truckers of all types will be open to lawsuits.
"It's hard to say what the next case might be where a motor carrier gets sued," he said.
Bouffard would not discuss Dan's City's bills so far. Shaughnessy said his bills will be significant; he spent two weeks preparing the case, and every filing with the Supreme Court cost $500. But he said the New Hampshire consumer protection law allows for attorney fees if he wins the case. He said Pelkey's landord, Colonial Village, is also part of the suit, which will be heard in Hillsborough County Superior Court in Manchester.
Shaughnessy said it was an honor to argue the case before the U.S. Supreme Court in March.
"The New Hampshire Supreme Court did all the work in this case," Shaughnessy said. "Their analysis was applied by the Supreme Court."

Future of Nursing Initiative
WEDNESDAY, March 9 (HealthDay News) -- Interactive digital exercise featuring player movement (exergames) successfully elevates energy expenditure to a moderate or vigorous intensity among children with various body mass index (BMI) levels , according to a study published online March 7 in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
Bruce W. Bailey, Ph.D., of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and Kyle McInnis, Sc.D., of the University of Massachusetts in Boston, examined the energy expenditure among 39 children (mean age, 11.5 years) while playing a variety of exergames, as well as while walking on a treadmill. Energy expenditure, as the mean metabolic equivalent task value, was calculated among children of various BMIs while playing different exergames.
The researchers found that all forms of interactive gaming evaluated increased energy expenditure above rest. There were no significant differences in terms of energy expenditure among the various games for children with normal BMI, or the "at-risk" or overweight children. The mean metabolic equivalent task values were 4.9 for walking on a treadmill at 3 miles per hour, 4.2 for Nintendo Wii, 5.4 for Dance Dance Revolution, 5.9 for Cybex Trazer, 6.4 for LightSpace, 7.0 for Xavix, and 7.1 for Sportwall. Game enjoyment was generally high, with children with the higher BMIs enjoying the games most.
"Although exergaming is most likely not the solution to the epidemic of reduced physical activity in children, it appears to be a potentially innovative strategy that can be used to reduce sedentary time, increase adherence to exercise programs, and promote enjoyment of physical activity," the authors write.

Respirator RulesSeptember 8, 2014 8:00 pm | by Vince McLeod | Comments
Before ever putting a respirator on, OSHA requires (and it makes good sense) to ensure users are physically capable of wearing a respirator. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 states: "Employees that use any respirators including respirators such as air supplied positive pressure face masks or hoods must have a medical evaluation before use."

Crime Scene Photography EssentialsSeptember 4, 2014 8:42 am | by Dick Warrington | Lynn Peavey Company | Comments
If you're an officer in a small department without a crime scene unit, you may be responsible for documenting everything from thefts to homicides. For each scene, you need an accurate record. You don't need to be an expert to take crime scene photographs or testify in court about these photographs, but you do need to know the proper way to photograph and document a scene.
Burn NoticeSeptember 4, 2014 7:10 am | by Vince McLeod, CIH | Comments
Flammable substances are those that can easily catch fire and burn in air. They may be solid, liquid, or gaseous, but this article will focus on liquids because according to Prudent Practices, the most common fire hazard in the typical laboratory is a flammable liquid or the vapor produced by one. And for a majority of laboratories, flammable liquids are the most commonly stored material and make up the largest volume of hazardous material.
Effective Communication: The Manager's MustSeptember 3, 2014 7:42 pm | Comments
Your effectiveness as a manager stands or falls on your ability to communicate. That's true no matter what kind of organization you're in, no matter what kind of department you run, no matter what kind of employees you have, no matter what kind of boss you have, no matter what kind of person you are. To manage is to communicate.
Kern County Resolves the DNA Mixture CrisisSeptember 3, 2014 5:37 pm | by Mark W. Perlin and Kevin W.P. Miller | Cybergenetics | Comments
The forensic community is discussing genotype probability modeling as a way to interpret DNA mixtures. The Kern Regional Crime Laboratory (KRCL) was an early adopter of probabilistic genotyping for mixture interpretation. KRCL's adoption of these computer methods enables Kern County to use complex mixture evidence in routine casework, and easily report their match results.
Biocontainment Is a Bigger Challenge in Medical Examiner FacilitiesSeptember 1, 2014 7:06 pm | Crime Lab Design | Comments

Actively Listen to SubordinatesAugust 27, 2014 7:55 pm | Comments
Draw out the thoughts and ideas of subordinates, as well as their feelings. Ask questions and rephrase key points that are made (e.g., "Do you mean that ... "). Don't respond until you clearly understand what's being said. Even if you disagree, allow the person to complete what he/she wants to say.
Solid State Drives: Part 7August 27, 2014 8:12 am | by John J. Barbara | Digital Forensics Consulting, LLC | Comments
SSDs have been in use since the 1950s. When compared to a conventional HDD, they are totally different in architecture and functionality. These differences offer many advantages such as no moving parts, having low random access times, and being shock and vibration resistant. However, their architecture and functionality creates some difficult issues to deal with pertaining to their forensic analysis.
Check under the HoodAugust 26, 2014 8:34 am | Comments
Chemical fume hoods are designed to capture and exhaust contaminates resulting from working with chemicals. Their design attempts to create a capture zone in front of the hood, draw contaminates away from the worker and into the hood where they are exhausted.
The Prepared CSOAugust 21, 2014 4:25 pm | Comments
Changes in science and technology mean more tools for crime scene investigation. To take advantage of these advances, you have to be knowledgeable about the latest developments and about the capabilities of experts; you also need the right equipment.
Considerations of Gait at Crime ScenesAugust 20, 2014 8:22 am | by Bryan B. Kagan, DPM and Sally Crawford | Comments
Forensic gait analysis is the identification of gait features and patterns of subjects seen on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and from footprints forming a gait pattern left at the scene of a crime. Studies have shown that more than 30% of people wear shoes that are within a two shoe size differential, which can affect the gait phase and gait time parameters and impact on the class level distinction during forensic examination.

If you're not looking for a quaint Tyrolean hotels, this wood-and-glass house—modern, casual, and almost Zen-like in its simplicity—could be the answer, right in front of the slopes and steps from the main ski lifts. Many rooms can be connected, allowing for almost any size group, and although very modern, there's still plenty of wood in evidence. In the evening, the DJ turns the café into an après-ski hangout light-years away from the usual beer-and-wurst scene.
Make reservations in advance, as the hotel has a loyal following.

Score from 6 reviews Good
It was very close to 5th Avenue. Close to restaurants.
Bed was not comfortable. Young woman at counter did not speak english.
Our room was very spacious and extremely clean. It had air-con which we hadn't been expecting so that was a pleasant surprise and we definitely needed it! The only issue with the AC unit was that it pointed straight towards the bed so we were kind of blasted by it, but we made a barrier with our luggage which solved that problem. The bathroom was fine, also spotless, and our shower was nice and strong. We had a room on the ground floor next to the reception area and off the main central atrium, but it was still quiet and restful. The hotel's location is perfect, just set back a couple of streets from the bustle and nightlife of 5th Ave. We felt perfectly safe walking to and from the hotel.
a block from the ADO bus station and a block from the ferry and 5th avenue and 2 blocks from the beach. quiet street. a block from coco bongos. 3 parking spaces.
only one person can be on wifi at any time per room. but that's okay we are in playa and not meant to be on the wifi.
Excellent budget option near all the action in Playa.
Room had an odd chemical smell that wouldn't go away, like moldy paint.
Hotel was close to the famous 5th ave and night clubs. Just a few blocks from the beach and 7 blocks from the bus stop. I do believe it is a family run hotel and they were wonderful people. Room was clean and simple. I think continental breakfast cost 35 pesos. You have to ask for it. We never had it as we are coffee snobs and found a great shop 2 blocks in either direction. This is a good hotel if your traveling on a budget, or off traveling to different sights.
Very simple hotel with no frills. No beach towels provided. No umbrellas around to borrow. No pool. Not recommend for those looking to sit on the beach and drink!!

I teach the integration of yoga and Buddhist practice, working with asana, pranayama, meditation, devotion, and inquiry, supporting those who hold yoga and meditation to be part of their spiritual path. All are welcome, in yoga classes, Thursday satsang, kirtan or text workshops, to come and explore the mystery of this human life together. No religious belief is necessary, but I bring in elements from both Buddhist and Hindu yogas, classical and tantric, as tools for the awakening of the heart to freedom and ease.
Ongoing classes
Wed + Fri 10:30-noon vinyasa Yoga Tree Telegraph
Energetic, breath-centered flow focusing on embodied awareness and grace in movement. All bodies, ages, and levels of practice welcome. Integration of asana (poses), pranayama (breath work), and meditation.
Insight Meditation Satsang: Thu 7:45-9:15pm Yoga Tree Telegraph
and Tue 7:30-8:45pm Piedmont Yoga
Meditation with instructions, wisdom teachings from Theravada Buddhist and yoga traditions, and community discussion of practice. Both sitting groups are offered fully on donation, in the Buddhist practice of dana, which is Sanskrit for generosity. The Piedmont group has rotating teachers – I'm on all summer 2014.
Last Sundays of the month, 7-9pm Yoga Tree Telegraph
Community chanting practice with Sean, Sara, and Surya. Songs and mantras from the Buddhist and Hindu devotional traditions, homemade chai, stories, and poems. There's kirtan every Sunday 7-9 at Yoga Tree Telegraph, with rotating leaders. *
2014 workshop schedule
Embodied inquiry: Awareness and Energy Practices from the Roots of Yoga
Sat 10/11, 1:30-4:30 pm
Piedmont Yoga, $50
Yoga has always been a practice of embodiment and enhanced awareness. In this experiential philosophy workshop we'll look at body-based yoga practices through two important meditation texts: the early Buddhist meditation text called the Satipatthana Sutta, and the late Hatha Yoga manual called the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
Each of those Buddhist texts sets out a basis for a mindfulness practice. Exploring the key ideas of these two traditional sources and complementing them with embodiment exercises, students will gain a better understanding of the relationship between awareness, energy, and presence that characterizes the yogic path.
History of Yoga: texts, lineages, and modern practice
Sun 10/12, 12-4:30 pm
Yoga Garden SF, $75
Learn about the history of yoga from its ancient roots. In this 1-day workshop we will explore the lineage of yoga, its most influential teachers, and why we practice today. Different schools of yogic thought and some of the classic sacred texts will be discussed to build toward a deeper understanding of yoga as insight.
Yoga Sutra of Patañjali: yoga's foundational meditation manual
Sun 10/19, 12-4:50 pm
Yoga Garden SF
(Like the 10/12 history workshop, this is part of their 200 hour teacher training program, but others are welcome. I don't have a link for it, but call the studio to register: 415-552-9644)
The Yoga Sutra of Patañjali is one of the most important root texts of yoga, and the source of the "8 Limb", or aṣtānga, practice map. This ancient meditation manual beautifully orients our practice on and off the yoga mat, guiding practitioners toward a profound stabilization of mind and heart, and the liberation that comes as we investigate deeply the nature of awareness.
We will practice several meditation techniques and focus on how to integrate Patañjali's method into our yoga practice. We read the Yoga Sutra in Chip Hartranft's elegant and practical translation.
Yoga as a Modern Spiritual Path: Mindfulness, Trauma, and a Tantric Vision of Wholeness
Sat 11/1, 4:30-7:30 pm
Piedmont Yoga, $45/50
Modern yoga and meditation are deeply transformative tools for Western spiritual seekers, but can also create challenges and emotional distress as their practice deepens.
Learning how to use yoga to support the nervous system can transform how we approach a spiritual practice. Students will learn how to use yoga as a tool to address difficult situations that may otherwise seem permanent. Students will learn to build yoga practices that enhance resilience and deal more mindfully with the effects of past trauma.
Full Sadhana: Retreat day at Piedmont Yoga
Sun 11/2, 12:30-5 pm
Piedmont Yoga, on dāna (donation)
Join us for affordable day-long intensives, taught by Piedmont Yoga's meditation teachers, all on a donation basis.

Piedmont Yoga is excited to offer mini-retreat days, where we will delve deeply into our practices, integrating āsana, prānāyāma, meditation and wisdom teachings in an intimate, donation-based community practice.
Beginners in either yoga or meditation, as well as practitioners from all yoga and Buddhist traditions are welcomed.
While these sessions are donation-based, we ask that you reserve your spot so that we can plan well.

Working with the Mind: Contemplative practices for power and liberation
Jan 11, 1:30-4:30
Piedmont Yoga, $45/50
Meditation and embodied psychological inquiry are the heart of Classical and Tantric Yogas, both Buddhist and Hindu. In this experiential philosophy workshop, we'll explore methods for working with challenging thought patterns, including anxiety, depression, and the scattered mind states that characterize modern urban life. We'll also explore the nature and activity of emotions, and how to practice with strong feelings as they arise, both in formal Yoga and meditation practice and daily life.
All are welcome, though some grounding in both asana and meditation practices is preferred.
