November 26, 2014
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Legislation letting people make audio recordings of Illinois police officers has stalled because the senator who controls the bill opposes changes made in the House.
Sen. Michael Noland won't call the so-called "eavesdropping" bill because he says police should also have wider powers to record citizens.
Noland's original bill had nothing to do with recording police. That was added in the House, where supporters say that in an age of cellphone video cameras people should be allowed to record the public activities of police.
When the measure went back to the Senate, Noland blocked it. Now the Elgin Democrat faces calls for him to step aside and let someone else handle the issue.
Right now, it's a felony to record a conversation without consent from every person speaking.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

EDINBURG - A surge in illegal immigration in the Rio Grande Valley is having an impact on the daily operations of the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Department, officials said.
Sheriff Lupe Trevino said his deputies are being pulled away from their duties to deal with stash houses and illegal immigrants.
"This is becoming a problem. We're snatching up 50, 60 up to 100 a day in stash houses," Trevino said.
"When you're arresting 15, 20, 50 people you can't do it with one deputy. You have to have at least seven or eight, until Border Patrol gets here," the sheriff said.
He said calls for suspicious activity turn into human-smuggling busts. Trevino said his deputies can't ignore the stash houses. He said doing so would mean an open door for criminals.
"I've got to worry about the burglars, and the thieves and the robbers and domestic-abuse cases. When we take away from our resources, and assets for something like this, it doesn't fall right. But we have to do our job," Trevino said.
The sheriff said there may be relief in sight. He said legislation being proposed in Washington could mean more Border Patrol agents along the border. Still, that legislation must pass first.

Info is not yet available.
A high tech car that fits the needs of a serious well healed car enthusiast. If you are not comfortable with computers and spirited driving this car is not for you. Surprisingly refined - I enjoy driving it more than my more visceral, in your face 2003 996 turbo. Great daily driver if you use the paddles otherwise difficult to drive smoothly in automatic mode.
Got this 08 M6 (wht on dark red, CF trim, manual) as a corporate trade in. Wow 08 leases tanked and I lucked out. Had an 06 M3. This thing blows it away in luxury terms and is god awful fast off the line and at speed. In my M3 I always felt like I was driving a hyper jet fighter, always charged up, and pushing it. In the 6, I cruise in luxury, steel fist in velvet glove. When I want power I hit the M button and zoom. The 3 was an smg and the 6 is a 6 speed manual. I loved the smg and sometimes wish the 6 had one. Man you could just hammer the 3 all the time. In th 6 it takes some work. Yeah it's capable but you have to wake up and push it. Doesn't seem as tossable, but when you get it right
I have owned many types of expensive vehicles but this one tops the list. Power is absolutely thrilling as well as the handling and comfort. A little hard on fuel but considering the way I drive it's probably much better for the average driver. I did not buy this car to save on gas anyway. I would have paid double than what I paid for this car.
My M6 Coupe is my fifth new BMW. I�ve had a 96 2.8 Z3, 99 540, 03 M3 convertible, 06 750 Li. All of these vehicles have been outstanding. The M6 is a pure breed race car in a stealth body. This car is great fun when the unknowing pull up beside you at a light and on the back roads of WV. This is by far my favorite car ever.
Unbelievable car. Started my addiction with a 645, then a 650, both of which were great cars, fun to drive, quick and superior handling. But the M6 is in a class by itself. What an amazing combination of style and engineering superiority. It lopes along in daily traffic with no hint of the beast lurking beneath the surface just waiting for a chance to get loose. It never fails to turn heads, and it never fails to thrill when that big V10 jumps to life with the touch of a button.
This is a great car for the money! I traded a 911 Porsche Cab and a 2005 Aston Martin DB9 coupe - the M6 Convertible delivers the best of both of these cars. The V10 engine has plenty of power matched by electronics and a finely tuned suspension to create a great driving experience on any road. It has the toss-around feel and open sky fun of the Porsche with the size, comfort and presence of the DB9 - but it accommodates 4 riders. This is my first BMW, and I've found the professional reviewer's concerns with iDrive to be somewhat exaggerated. The SMG transmission, also scorned, is easy and engaging to drive. The cock pit ergonomics, including seat comfort are unmatched by any car.

Giving the Zuni chicken a try tonight...question on pans
- c
- Christina D Jun 9, 2005 12:33 PM
Has anyone tried roasting the chicken in a non-stick skillet? Using a skillet is one of the options suggested for a roasting vessel, but no mention is made re: standard vs. non-stick.
Obviously, the benefit is that sticking wouldn't be an issue, but I wonder if it will affect the way the meat browns.
Not being familiar with your recipe, I don't know what kind of temperature you're going to use. Most non-stick skillets of my experience aren't recommended for oven use over 350º or so, which is as low as you should go for real roasting. I would imagine that the skillet suggested as an option would be an iron one, which I very often use for roasting birds. Non-stick pans are also fairly useless for collecting properly browned drippings, if that's an issue - which is why I usually line my non-stick roasting pan with heavy foil if I'm shooting for decent gravy.
Every time I've done it, I've done it in a non-stick skillet and it's worked beautifully (issues of Teflon breakdown at high temperatures aside). The skin has turned out and crispy and browned every time. I've never used the drippings for anything, including the bread salad, but there are always plenty in the pan and they appear brown enough. Hope this helps!
Here's a good trick that I always use: Get a cheap, small roasting rack (grocery stores have them) and put it over your skillet. Voila... you have a roasting pan for chickens now.
If all you are worried about is the browning process, then I think you are ok with non-stick. But I would discourage it for a few reasons.
First, as I recall, Judy Rodgers's recipe is for a small bird. Therefore, you will need to roast at a high temp ... something around 500 degrees. I don't know of any non-stick pans that can tolerage that kind of heat, at least over time. I have a few Scan Pans that supposedly go up to 450, but I generally don't use them for temps over 400.
Second, I'm pretty sure that the pan drippings are one of the keys to the bread salad. There won't be much to deglaze if you use a non-stick pan ... you WANT the chicken juices to crystallize on the bottom of the pan during roasting. That way, when you remove the bird you can pour off the liquified fat and leave the crystallized juices behind to be deglazed and flavor the salad.
So, I'd opt for anything that (1) is heavy duty (so that juices won't burn), (2) is not too much bigger than the item you are roasting (again, don't want to burn the drippings), (3) is not non-stick, and (4) does not have excessively high sides (because you want to get even exposure/heating. If you only have high-sided pans available, then you can resort to using a metal rack or prop the bird up with a few carrots/celery/slices of onion, etc.
Those are some of the "rules" of roasting in general. That said, I'm sure the bird will still taste great if all you have available is non-stick. But if clean-up is the only issue, go with the "rules." If you deglaze, there's not much clean up in any event.
Let us know how it goes!
I wouldn't try it. I don't have the Zuni Cookbook, but she allowed Paula Wolfert to put it in her Mediterranean Greens and Grains Cookbook and I've made it a bunch of times.
The oven temp is really high - 500 degrees? I think.
You roast it for 20 minutes or so on one side and then turn it and roast for another 20 (this is NOT exact, but just to give you an idea of the temp and time).
I use a bit more vinegar than the recipe calls for. It's cooked for a short time and loses some acidity.
Otherwise, it's a great recipe and not so complex you'll make it once and never again go to the trouble.
re: Ilaine
I just tried a few days ago with my sturdy cast iron skillet. It browned perfectly, and there wasn't much stuck to the pan. The juices were dark brown, but the skin did not stick. I think the trick is, as the book says, to get the pan really hot and the chicken really dry.
I was also worried that the skin would burn at such a high temperature for 30 minutes per side, but it really didn't. The recipe is just that easy.
re: Ilaine
I did it once with an aluminum foil lined pan, and ended up peeling foil from the bottom of the chicken.
According to the testers at Cooks Illustrated, non-stick coatings begin to degrade at 500 degrees...also the drippings (fond) won't carmelize as well which would add depth and flavor to any gravy.
Looks like my response may be coming in after your attempt. What pan did you end up using and how did it go?
Pictured below was my 3rd attempt at the Zuni chicken last week. It was fantastic this time around! Very crispy and greaseless skin w/ intensely flavorful meat. While it roasted, I was struck at how wonderful it smelled. The high heat creates a toasty aroma that reminds me of caramel and nuts, which I think adds to the addictive nature of this bird. Everytime I eat this, I think this is the crack (as in drug) of poultry. My guests' finger-licking reactions only confirm this.
About the pan, I actually use a hard-anodized non-stick skillet from Calphalon. I like it b/c it's large and has a flared rim as opposed to a straight-sided one like my All-Clad saute pan. I've used it 3 times already in the 475F oven and haven't noticed any degradation. One tip: I wrap the handle in foil to remind myself it's been in the oven (so that I don't accidently grab it later) and to keep the handle cooler.
I'm actually going to roast two 3-lb. birds tonight at the same time to see how that works. I may use two pans (one non-stick, one cast iron) if they will fit and see if there's any difference. Gotta prep my ventilation system :-)
Some updates that I've discovered along the way:
1. A 4 lb. bird that has a decent amount of fat works fine. I wouldn't exceed this size though.
2. I like half bread and half greens for the bread salad. Prefer a salad mix w/ baby greens and radicchio.
re: Carb Lover
As I said in my previous post, I've used a hard-anodized non-stick skillet everytime I've made the Zuni chicken in the past. Always created a nice bronzed crust on the bird w/ good bits of "fond" in the pan. Absolutely no sticking.
Well, I roasted two chickens in two separate pans on Fri. night for a potluck lunch today. For the fun of it (this is how I get my kicks on a Fri. night), I roasted one in my All-Clad stainless steel saute pan and the other in my cast iron skillet. Had them oriented in a diagonal fashion in my oven and then switched places halfway through. I won't get into the increased smoke this created and how my smoke alarm went off at 11:30pm...
Anyway, in short, the All-Clad pan sucked. After preheating on the stovetop, I put the bird in and was startled by a loud squeeking noise when the dry bird hit the dry pan. Like nails on a chalkboard. Never happened w/ the non-stick or cast iron which produced a humming sizzle instead. Even though the All-Clad bird didn't stick when I flipped during cooking, it stuck when I moved it to rest, which caused the skin to tear. Annoying. Won't use again, but benefits were that the straight sides contained sputtering oil better and the handle on both sides makes getting it out of oven easier.
Cast iron pan worked well and browned the skin better than the All-Clad, but almost seemed TOO hot since I'm sure it retains and conducts heat well. The chicken rose to a higher temp. when I removed it from the oven than it did w/ the non-stick skillet. I had more difficulty regulating the oven temp. w/ two birds and it didn't cook as evenly as if there were one bird in the middle. Have decided that I can only roast one bird at a time and will go back to my hard-anodized non-stick. I wouldn't use teflon-coated though.
re: Carb Lover
I tried it once in a cast iron- cooked well, but made me nervous, as the skillet was really too small for the bird.
What about a 2.75 qt. Le Creuset soup pot? Are the sides too high?
re: Sarah
I've never tried roasting chicken in a soup pot, but my gut says it wouldn't brown as evenly as a more shallow pan. I think you should use a slightly larger pan that you already own or buy an inexpensive one. Cast iron skillets at garage sales or thrift stores are quite cheap. Or try to find a bird on the small side, around 2.5 lbs.
re: Carb Lover
hi carblover,
thanks for all of the detailed descriptions!
one question about your pan...most of the calphalon nonstick pans that i have seen/owned are oven-safe up to 450 degrees....is yours rated higher than that? and if so, where did you get it?
re: rachel
Sounds like you've done your pan research better than me. I honestly have no idea what the max heat for mine is. I tend to be a bit free-wheeling in the kitchen and have no problem bending certain rules. Given that the Zuni chicken roasts at 475F and sometimes the oven dips down to 450F, I'm inclined to believe that it's fine. FWIW, I bought my skillet from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. It was just around $20 or so and was part of their "anniversary edition" special. Probably not as good quality as other, more expensive pans in their line, but has performed quite well for me.
Is there any downside in using my oven in the convection mode? I've found that I can lower the temp to 440F and keep the same cook time that I use for the 475-500F conventional mode with hardly any smoke. Any thoughts?
Even with all the info that was provided, I still struggled with my choice. The non-stick pan had the best size and shape, but I worried about the teflon breaking down. I literally put one pan on the burner, started to heat it, reconsidered and put the other pan on (I did this three times...no joke).
I eventually went with the bottom half of a stainless steel, All-Clad braiser. The size was about right and the sides were higher than my skillet, but not too bad. I put the tiniest bit of oil in the bottom and rubbed it around with a paper towel. I did get the squeak that Carb Lover mentioned, but it seemed to work just fine. The chicken stuck just a little when I went to flip it, but we coaxed it off the bottom with a couple gentle nudges from a spatula.
The chicken itself was incredibly flavorful, even though I overcooked it a bit. I used the convection setting at 475 and didn't cut the cooking time short as recommended (I'll fix that next time).
Overall, a good experience and one I will definitely be doing again.
Thanks for all the feedback!!
I always make Zuni chicken in my well seasoned cast iron skillet. Easy to clean, browns beautifully, the perfect size. Once I was doing two at once and used a small roasting pan, and it didn't work nearly as well.
re: tenggilis
When I'm greedy and counter Rodger's small bird suggestion by roasting a 4-lb. bird, I use a 12" skillet. It's kinda roomy, but I've had the best results w/ that pan compared to the All-Clad or cast iron. If it's too snug, I can see how the hot grease would splash out more and maneuvering the pan would feel a bit more life-threatening.
Surprised to hear about sticking w/ the Le Creuset. I don't own one so can't test it out myself. Make sure that you pre-heat the pan very well and that you hear a sizzle when you put the bird in. If not, then it may not be hot enough. You could always add a touch of high smoke point oil first to help it along.
Yes, I get the same pool of grease. I'm amazed at how much fat can come out of that bird. I love to see it though, since the more fat that's rendered, the better tasting the bird, in my experience. I don't pour it out when I flip. I don't think the recipe calls for that, plus I want to get the bird back into the oven ASAP.

Morphlabs to cloud builders: Osmium is kryptonite to Amazon, Rackspace
Cloudy infrastructure provider Morphlabs is revving up its private cloud iron while at the same time wooing service providers with add-on software that makes it easier to run the OpenStack cloud control freak to create public clouds. No one who can do math and configure and run systems well would argue that compute and storage …
skills to build a cloud
From the article -
"But despite this, not every company has the skills to build and run a cloud, or wants to invest in those skills – and that's why Amazon Web Services, Rackspace Cloud, and other services are taking off."
It's a wide spread belief that it is simpler to operate in something like the Amazon cloud vs doing things yourself. It's also a spreading belief that organizations actually need "cloud". Most do not, the vast majority do not.
But the real point of my comment is again I want to call out the fact that it requires MORE expertise to properly operate in the amazon cloud vs building your own stuff (e.g. not trying to build your own openstack shit but going more traditional configuration). Because you have real load balancers, you don't have to use a "built to fail" model. You have network configurations that can last for years (e.g. a VM or a host fails, it gets repaired or moved to another host and off you go again - no need to rebuild things and re-configure things due to failure).
Having spent the past decade or so working with infrastructure at internet-facing companies and up until the middle of last year had spent the better part of 2 years working with the horse shit that amazon has in their infrastructure I can say the level of stress alone is worth going it alone. Cost savings, it's comical how much more any public cloud costs vs doing it yourself.
It is common now finding people with the skills to build such infrastructure from the ground up is difficult, most CxOs and other management don't realize the number of gotchas especially when dealing with Amazon cloud, yet alone the other cloud players.
There's a reason why every time amazon has an outage in their US east reason a million different websites go down..
also whoever thinks m1.small amazon can get 14,000 IOPS needs to go back to school. That's roughly 56 x 15k RPM disks.. yeah, I don't think so.

Written by Superintendent East Williston School District DR. Elaine Kanas Thursday, 21 November 2013 00:00
I am writing this newsletter to you from San Antonio, Texas. I am currently at a Superintendents' Summit that I was nominated to attend, at no cost to the district, sponsored by the District Administrative Leadership Institute. I am here with 64 superintendents from across the country and it has been an excellent opportunity to share and get new ideas from colleagues from many different states. For example, last evening I was part of a small roundtable group that included a Superintendent from Connecticut. He is utilizing online resources for an elementary STEM initiative that he will share with me for our own elementary science curriculum exploration. This afternoon I participated in an exciting Google presentation that provided rich resources and ideas to explore for our own district's use.
This was an important day for us to continue to move our curriculum and instruction initiatives forward. Teachers and administrators participated in a rigorous day of staff development and curriculum development. As you know from previous newsletters, our school district sets instructional goals each school year (see 2013-14 District Goals on website at www.ewsdonline.org > click on Our District on the red horizontal navigation bar > click on 13-14 Goals) and we closely tie all staff development to accomplishing those goals designed to increase student achievement.
The fifth grade continued work with the literacy consultant they have been working with from LitLife as they continue to implement a reading and writing workshop classroom format for literacy instruction. This approach focuses on providing students with authentic and in-depth literacy practice in reading and writing. Just like the musician becomes a stronger player by practicing, research shows students become stronger readers and writers the more they "practice" actually engage in the act of reading and writing.
As part of a year-long curriculum that balances fiction and non-fiction, the fifth-grade students are currently engaged in a Fantasy unit. Their teachers prepared for the upcoming non-fiction unit, reading and writing evidence-based editorials, which will start during the month of December.
Along with building administrators Principal Stephen Kimmel and Director of District Curriculum Information Services & Middle School Life Danielle Gately, I had the opportunity to spend the day working and learning alongside our committed and caring fifth-grade team.
At the elementary school, teachers focused on the elementary portion of our academic vocabulary list, identifying grade level specific words. Classroom and special area teachers collaborated on a master list. Activities, creation of charts and posters were worked on to immerse our students in an environment rich with these words. I will let you know when a final list is ready for posting on the district website.
North Side's mathematics portion of the day focused on continued in-depth study regarding the Engage NY math modules currently being implemented in the elementary school and how these math modules directly support the Common Core Standards. The importance of students developing fluency, focus and perseverance in the Common Core Standards was a point of emphasis.
The physical education, health and family consumer science staff attended various workshops at Hofstra University and Adelphi University. Our own physical education teachers, Herman Lim and David Burke, were presenters at one of the workshops, Use of iPads and Smart Technology. Mr. Lim and Mr. Burke demonstrated many of the great ideas they utilize in our district to promote physical education.
Among their activities, the middle and high school Social Studies Department worked on developing and improving teacher websites in an effort to further utilize technology for student learning and improve student, parent and teacher communication. The department collaborated on specific student skills in research and writing to support student success on the 10th-grade English research paper and the 11th-grade Social Studies research paper.
Work in the grades six-through 12th-grade English Department included a continuing crosswalk between common core goals and Department mission as well as ways to successfully monitor student performance in both. Work also continued in aligning the structure of the 10th-grade research paper to reflect new Common Core requirements.

The descendants of Chanaan have proved morally corrupt and are in subjection to the rule of the descendants of Sem.New Catholic Dictionary

cute and cheap
girlfriend and i are making a date of going to see the nyc ballet @ the kennedy center this saturday....we are grabbing an early (5:30!! who eats at 5:30!!!) dinner to make the 7:30 curtain. we don't really want to eat BY the kennedy center since there's nothing THAT good or budget friendly...
really, we're open to anything in NW since we're goign to be driving. we're probably looking for something casual and wallet-friendly but nothing horribly shabby. i don't think we'd like to spend more than $30/pp including alcohol....i was thinking about matchbox but i'd like something a bit closer....
suggestions are very much appreciated!!
Instead of Matchbox you can get tasty pizza at Pizzeria Paradisio. They have a great beer list, as well as wines.
Another option in the Dupont Circle area could be Heritage for Indian or Hank's Oyster Bar for seafood (or a great meat + 2). If you like French you can try Bistro Du Coin...it shouldn't be too crazy at 5:30pm.
Have fun at the ballet! I wish I was going :)
I love Luna on Conn Ave right below the circle. I think they have a vaired and very solid menu (good classic sandwiches, pasta, etc), the place is cute, and prices are about as reasonable as you'll find in Dupont, Foggy Bottom, etc. And it might be warm enough to sit outside in the back on Saturday!
I like Hank's but I really don't consider it to be cheap by any stretch of the imagination.
What about somewhere on or near U street? Marvin's is great...depending on what you order, you can get away with $30/person. I also really like Tabaq and Vinoteca. Both places offer small plates, so you could definitely stay within your budget. And there's Busboys & Poets, which is the most casual of them all.
Creme is also good...might be a bit harder to stay within your budget...but again, depending on what you get, it could work.
Or you could go for Ethipioan in Little Ethiopia. Have been to Etete but not Dukem.
Enjoy the ballet!!
re: joann.hill12
On U St there is also Ulah which is very affordable.
re: Elyssa
Ah, yes! Always forget about Ulah. I remember having great calamari there.
re: joann.hill12
I had a really good turkey burger there as well. I went with a friend, we both go turkey burgers and a beer/cocktail and our entire meal was under $18/each. Quite affordable.
Penang just south of Dupont is a nice atmosphere, and within your budget. Malaysian food.
Also Thaitanic on 14th Street is quite good and relatively convenient for you.
Pizzeria Paradiso is a good idea as well, I imagine parking would be easier at the Dupont location than at Georgetown though I'm no parking expert.
Bistro Francais in Georgetown has a 3 course Early Bird Special menu which is a great deal. Oh, and on Saturdays they have a wonderful raspberry duck special, which can be your entree on the 3-course menu.
Here's the deal:
Early Bird Special
5p.m. to 7 p.m. and
10.30 p.m. to 1.00 a.m.
(Except Holidays)
A Glass of House wine
Soup du jour or
Homemade Liver Mousse or
Mussels Niçoise
Choice Of Entrée From the daily dinner Specials:
Indicated by asterisk *
Homemade French Pastry
(No Substitutions...No Sharing...Dine in Only)
re: KWynn
Cheers for Bistro Francais! It's a good deal, and they'll definitely get you to the KC on time.
I also like Gigi's idea of maybe getting a drink and a bite before hand and then going out afterwards for another bite. In that case, I would stick to the KC just to have a drink and take in the view.
If you want to grab something light and that wouldn't take too long, why not head to Le Pain Quotidien in Georgetown. You can get a tartine (open-faced sandwich), delicious soup, and pastries, all for a decent price. The early-bird special at Bistro Francais would also be good if you're hungry (but personally I couldn't eat all of that so early--I'd go after the ballet for a late-night bite). I've also heard that Founding Fathers is pretty good, and it's not too far from the Kennedy Center. Have a great time at the ballet.
Cafe La Rouche in Georgetown would fit the bill, and wouldn't be too far from the Kennedy Center.

A forklift operator uses a powered industrial truck, or forklift, to move materials. He or she may work in a variety of settings, but is most often found in a warehouse facility or a factory setting. Operators may also work in supply yards and on loading docks.
Forklift operators are often responsible for loading and unloading trucks. Depending on where they work, they may also unload ships or airplane cargo holds. Most freight is loaded onto pallets, enabling the forklift to pick it up easily using the fork. Some especially heavy or unusually shaped freight may not be on a pallet, and may need to be picked up directly by the fork.
These inventory movers sometimes serve as the front line of damage control, as forklift operators may be required to inspect all inbound and outbound packages. They might also be responsible for picking orders or ensuring all inbound freight is stocked properly. A person in this position may be required to keep track of paperwork related to the materials they move.
A license or some type of specialized training may be required to work as a forklift operator, depending on the workplace. In the US, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that no operator be under the age of 18. OSHA provides rules and guidelines for people in this position to follow, such as requiring each forklift operator to inspect his or her forklift at least once per day, including checking fluid levels, tires, and safety features. OSHA rules also govern mounting and dismounting, starting and stopping, speed, maneuvering, parking, and visibility.
A forklift is a heavy piece of machinery and can cause property damage, injury and even death if not operated properly. It is important for a forklift operators to follow all safety rules provided by their workplace related to forklift operation. They should not only be knowledgeable in the correct operation of a forklift, but must also be very aware of their surroundings. Ramp condition, aisle width, and enclosed areas are all hazardous conditions for the operator, who mus also always be on the lookout for pedestrians.
There are also a number of OSHA rules regarding the handling of a load on a forklift. Proper training will ensure a forklift operator can not only drive a forklift safely, but also wreck a forklift as safely as possible. A wreck is sometimes unavoidable on any type of powered industrial truck, and training should teach forklift operators to handle those situations as safely as possible.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

All of us know how painful it would be — or maybe already is! — to have too much consumer debt and be unable to pay it. We know how that can adversely affect every facet of our lives.
But somehow, we have allowed our presidents and members of Congress over many years to keep on taxing us too much and spending too much more, adding to our catastrophic national debt.
Sadly, however, there is no agreement on any plan to quit increasing the debt, which is rising at a rate of $4.03 billion a day!
The result? Last year alone, we paid around $400 billion in taxes just to cover the interest on the debt!
No one wants to face the debt problem because it is so difficult. And so it's getting worse.
Congress has voted a "debt limit" of $14.3 trillion! But in just a few days — on May 16 — we're scheduled to hit that "limit."
Then we will discover yet again that the limit was no limit at all. Congress will soon raise it.
So what's the solution? Taxes are too high as it is, and tax increases would only discourage private investment — and kill jobs at a time of nearly 9 percent unemployment. Who wants that?
The commonsense solution is for Congress to begin spending less. But instead, President Barack Obama and a majority of his fellow Democrats expect to raise the "debt limit" and keep on spending too much — and demanding higher taxes, too!
Some Republicans propose more serious spending restraint, but a majority has yet to get behind a single plan to do that. And between the Democrat majority in the Senate and a Democrat president in the White House, such a plan would likely be defeated anyway.
So when was the last time we had a government "surplus," more tax income than spending outgo? It was 2001 — a decade ago!
There isn't any easy answer. Any proposed cut is likely to be met with a chorus of protests by special interests — while the national interest is ignored. But shouldn't we insist, at least, that lawmakers in Washington quit increasing the red-ink spending that is making it all worse?
Obama's Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, in a letter to congressional leaders Monday said that with some bookkeeping maneuvers, default on the debt may be avoided until Aug. 2. But what then?
The president, the senators and the representatives whom we have put in office are intelligent adults. They have begged us to elect them to run the federal government. How well do you think they are doing?
Why don't they face the financial problem? It's because too many of them do not want to face "us" with the tough and responsible spending cuts needed to begin to get control of our finances. They are more worried about the political cost to them than the far greater cost to the country.
So don't look for our financial problems to get better anytime soon.

A five-time champion, host nation is hoping to finally win a world cup at home, easing the pain of the 1950 loss to Uruguay. (Full FIFA World Cup 2014 coverage)
A Brazilian fan clicks a selfie ahead of his teams opening match of FIFA World Cup.
Let play begin. Although accusations of disrepute hang over FIFA and its officials, it's the players on the field who can restore the World Cup's global shine beginning this week in Brazil, the country that created the legend of the "beautiful game." (Seen the new Google Doodle?)
Fans everywhere will be looking to Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar to show what exceptionally gifted entertainers they are. And if Luiz Felipe Scolari is as good a prophet as he is a coach, the final at the end of this 32-nation, 64-game tournament could end with his Brazilian side facing Argentina in the final in Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. (Also read: Brazil Races Towards Kick-Off)
Precedence suggests he might be right. South American teams have won all seven World Cups that have been staged in the Americas since the event began in 1930. But Brazil, the most successful and often the most thrilling team to watch, has never won the trophy in its own vast country.
The one chance it had, back in 1950, ended in defeat at the hands of its much smaller neighbor, Uruguay. Brazil today has more than 200 million people; Uruguay's population, meanwhile, has risen to 3.4 million. But it takes only 11 men on each team to play a game of soccer and only one player to score the winning goal in a World Cup final.
In the 1950 final, that player was Alcides Ghiggia. At 87, he is today the only member of that Uruguayan team who is still alive. He told FIFA.com in an interview recorded in Spanish at the start of this year: "What I always say is that only three people have ever been able to silence the Maracana: the pope, Frank Sinatra, and me. The stadium went totally quiet, you couldn't hear a sound."
Brazil has won the World Cup five times since then - in Sweden in 1958, in Chile in 1962, in Mexico in 1970, in the United States in 1994 and in Japan in 2002. Each victory came miles from home, and no other country except Spain, the winner in 2010 in South Africa, has won outside of its continent.
The style of Brazil's triumphs, particularly the first three, which all involved the peerless Pele;, might have soothed the shock of 1950, what became known as the Maracanazo. But that term, literally the Maracana Blow, has been handed down the generations until now.
There is a possibility that Brazil and Uruguay could meet again at this World Cup, in the quarterfinals at Fortaleza on July 4. For that to happen, Brazil would have to win its group and then a game in the first knockout stage. Uruguay would have to progress as the runner-up from its own tough group.
Ghiggia, who is still healthy enough to travel, says he would give his life to revisit Brazil and witness another triumph for his country.
Brazilians might well say, "Bring it on." Bookmakers regard Argentina as a greater threat to Brazil this time. However, neither of those countries is the current South American champion. Uruguay is, having won the Copa America, the region's prized trophy, when it was last staged in 2011, in Argentina.
It was also Uruguay that went furthest among the continent's teams at the last World Cup, in 2010, finishing third.
"Other countries have their history," said Ondino Viera, the Uruguayan coach at the 1966 World Cup. "Uruguay has its football."
Viera played and lived this obsession through his 96 years until his death in 1997. His modern equivalent, Oscar Washington Tabarez, is a primary school teacher turned soccer trainer who embraces "la garra charrua," the warrior spirit of Uruguay's native Indian population.
That winning mentality has had its dark side. There was a time in the 1990s when Enzo Francescoli, a marvelously elegant, gliding creator looked like a prince of light among his teammates who took no prisoners in the physical way that they downed their opponents.
Among today's Uruguayan players, Luis Suarez seems to combine the two extremes of the country's soccer past. He ranks maybe one rung below Messi and Ronaldo among world talents at the moment. Playing for Liverpool, Suarez was, by a wide margin, the outstanding striker in England's Premier League this season.
His spirit of chasing down every ball is certainly the spirit of the charrua. But his mean streak was evident in England, where he served two long bans, one for a racist taunt to Patrice Evra, a black Manchester United player, and another for biting the arm of a Chelsea opponent, Bransilav Ivanovic. He had served a similar ban for biting when he played for Ajax in Amsterdam. And in South Africa in 2010, his deliberate hand ball in the quarterfinals deprived Ghana of a semifinal opportunity.
Suarez, in a race against time to overcome injury before the World Cup, is the good, the bad, and the essence of what makes Uruguay such a threat beyond the sum of its tiny population.
But if he doesn't make the first games of this tournament, Uruguay has other talent. Its problem is in defense, but in attack it has the envious choice between the experienced Diego Forlan, Edinson Cavani and the rising stars Abel Hernandez and Christian Stuani.
Few nations boast such proven strikers. Brazil has Neymar, but is short of others to help him. Portugal has Ronaldo, and prays for his health. Argentina might be the one other force blessed with such attacking potential.
But striking on the big day is something else. That is why Ghiggia is remembered by Brazilians and Uruguayans alike, even by those who never saw him play.
He was a light, mercurial winger, only 1.69 meters, or 5 feet, 6 inches, tall. There were more than 200,000 people packed into the stadium that day in 1950, anticipating the crowning glory of the host nation's first World Cup.
The archives of that decisive encounter in Rio, complimented by the way that Ghiggia remembers it, make fascinating reading.
On the morning of the game, the local newspaper O Mundo led with a photograph of the Brazilian team and a presumption: "These are the world champions," it wrote.
Uruguay's captain, Obdulio Varela, reportedly laid copies of that paper on the bathroom floor and suggested that his teammates urinate on them.
In the locker room, Uruguay's coach, Juan Lopez, outlined a tactical plan that concentrated on defense against the forward power of Brazil. Once the coach left the room, the captain had his say. "Juancito is a good man," Valera reportedly said. "But today, he is wrong. If we play defensively against Brazil, our fate will be no different from Spain or Sweden."
Ghiggia also recalls three Uruguay team directors speaking to the senior players, suggesting that the team had accomplished enough.
"They said we should just try to behave ourselves well on the pitch," Ghiggia said in the FIFA video. "And they said we should be happy just to lose by three or four goals."
Varela, the captain, bided his time. He waited until the teams were in the tunnel and then delivered a rousing speech. "Muchachos, los de afuera son de palo. Que empiece la funcioo," he famously said, which translates roughly as, "Boys, outsiders don't play. Let's start the show."
He concluded with the line that every underdog now uses: On the field, we are 11 against 11.
Brazil, as expected, was first to score. The goal came two minutes after half-time, from the foot of Sao Paulo's Friaca. Varela created a hiatus, a latter day example of gamesmanship, by arguing vehemently that the goal should have been disallowed for offside. He went so far as to demand that the English referee, George Reader, listen to him through an interpreter.
The goal stood, but the Uruguayan skipper used the moment to provoke his team to even greater intensity. This, he said, was the time to attack.
The equalizing goal came at 66 minutes, when Ghiggia cut the ball back for Juan Alberto Schiaffino to strike. Schiaffino, already renowned by followers of Penarol, was later to earn his fortune in Italy, playing with A.C. Milan, and then Roma, and even transferring his national allegiance to represent the Italian national side.
Ghiggia was never to leave Montevideo. His fame was secured 11 minutes from the end of the World Cup final in the Maracana when he burst down the right. He saw Brazil's goalkeeper, Barbosa, make a move to prevent a repeat of his pass to Schiaffino. So Ghiggia instead shot into the gap between the keeper and the post.
"I thought about my family, my friends, and my teammates as they came to hug me," the winger recalled. "But when the game was over, you could see people crying. Even though we won and were happy, you couldn't help feel sad. People were crying inconsolably."
More than crying. There were deaths that day from heart failure in Brazil, and deaths from excitement in Uruguay. Jules Rimet, the Frenchman who led FIFA in those more innocent times, concluded: "The silence was morbid, sometimes too difficult to bear."

The rich and famous are obsessed with cars and therefore tend to purchase some of the world's most expensive supercars. Classic cars are a great investment and sales have increased massively in recent years even during the recession. Recently, at Monterey Car Week, a number of auctions took place including the Bohnhams sale at The Quail, the RM Auctions Monterey Sale and Goodings & Company's Pebble Beach auction. In the UK the Goodwood Festival of Speed has had car sales that have broken records and so has the RM Auctions in Maranello. Continue reading

Five Best-Selling cars of January 2013
The figures are in from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders on the best-selling cars of January 2013, and the good news is that car sales for 2013 are already on the up!
European Car Industry Hits Britain
Recently we reported how the British car industry had bucked the down trend and how car sales were up for the first time since the 2008 recession as were . This has been good news, however the European downturn, especially in Germany has sent reverberations through Britain's car manufacturing industry.
A Positive Year for Motoring
It has been claimed that 2011 was a very significant year for British motoring, and if you have read our previous blog posts about sales increasing for the likes of Bentley and the fact that car production has been rising, then you too will hopefully agree!
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) have again been discussing the state of the UK motor industry.
Impact on the British Economy
The Chief Executive of the SMMT, Paul Everitt, has been speaking about the plans that have been announced by global vehicle manufacturers to invest a whopping £4 billion into Britain's economy. Now of course this money isn't in order to bail us out of the financial crisis.
It is instead to be spent on a whole variety of different projects. Such projects will range from the introduction of all-new vehicles to the development of sustainable and low carbon technology; something that will therefore be beneficial to the economy and the environment simultaneously.
Mr Everitt has been quoted saying the following: "Despite the uncertainty within the Eurozone, these decisions demonstrate real confidence in the future of UK manufacturing and its role within a rebalanced economy." Mr Everitt also seems to get more vocal space on our MotorMouthBlog than he does elsewhere!
Positive Prospects
It is apparent that much of the investment has come from international sources which suggest that the country's future prospects could also look to be improving. The influx of money will also surely lead to more and more jobs being created which in turn would hopefully lead to the reduction of unemployment. In addition, hopefully the public will then begin investing further in new cars over the next twelve months, whilst also then requiring more people to purchase motor insurance. Further positives for the economy, and the country in general there then!
The news about the £4 billion influx has come after individuals and organisations have been invited to put themselves forward for this year's Transport Achievement Award. The award ceremony will be announced at the International Transport Forum's summit in Germany.
Let's hope 2012 will see things improve further for the UK motor industry and the economy as well.
Sales Increase for Bentley
Bentley have seen UK sales increase by over 20% last month according to the latest statistics that have been released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). According to the stats, the Crewe-based firm have sold 65 cars in the UK in November, this is 20.4% more than the same period in 2010.
Sales Figures
So far this year, Bentley has sold a total of 986 cars in the UK. This is up by 4.5% during the same period last year. This is encouraging news for the automotive sector and those more exotic, luxury car makers. The number of luxury car owners looking for car insurance cover has, therefore, increased this year.
The economic recession has hit us all hard and big businesses have been suffering too. Especially those that manufacture luxury products, such as expensive cars, as less and less people feel the need to own one during times of financial uncertainty. Of course, the price for motor insurance on such expensive vehicles will have put many people off during the economic downturn.
A Bentley spokesman has been commenting on the recent revival they have seen however: "Bentley continues to do well, with global sales up around 30 per cent in November, continuing the annual trend which is seeing total sales increase by around one-third in 2011. Chinese growth is relentless as we surpassed 1,500 cars in the region for the first time." Many car firms have seen great sales in China as the country continues to prosper.
The spokesman added: "However, established markets such as America and Europe are also increasing, reflecting strong demand for the Mulsanne and, in particular, the new Continental GT. The UK was up despite the on-going economic uncertainty but with the new Continental GTC reaching dealers from December, the prospects for the New Year are promising."
Sales Forecasts
It is little surprise that Bentley will be excited by what 2012 could bring them, with new models on the horizon and increasing sales forecast.
The SMMT has reported that the total amount of UK car sales declined by 4.2% in November to 134,027 units, however, this is still 5,000 units above the SMMT's forecast. This year, thus far, total vehicle registrations are down by 4.5%, at 1,822,065 units.
The SMMT feel that the market will better its full year forecast of 1.923 million, however, they added that they are remaining cautious for 2012. Nothing can really be taken for granted in such an unstable economy!
Car sales slide in March
According to figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders it appears that thousands fewer car drivers got a motor insurance quote on a new vehicle last month compared to March 2010.
Sales figures well down on last March
The latest statistics released by the motoring organisation reveals that over 30,000 less new cars were purchased last month compared to the same month last year. The figures will disappoint those in the industry but it will not come as a big shock. In fact some will be quite heartened by the news. The Government Scrappage Scheme, which SMMT's Chief Executive Paul Everitt says saved the industry, no longer has any impact on this year's figures but was still around this time last year. Taking the scrappage figures away from the March 2010 sales means this March actually saw an improvement, say some experts.
Industry expects a better second half
It is certainly true that the sales figures for March were an improvement on those of January and the 8.7% drop in sales the first quarter of the year is in line with industry expectations. The industry reckons a decline in sales of 5% over the year will take place with second half of 2011 seeing stronger sales than the first half.
Private sales crumbling
Further inspection of the statistics reveals that fleet car sales along with business car sales actually improved in March, it was the massive 17% drop in private car sales that did the damage. It is this figure that will worry those in the industry more than any other. The poor Retail Sales index performance over the first quarter of the year will have not gone unnoticed by motor manufacturers and if the general public really is tightening their belt, then motorists looking for new car insurance really will become a rarer sight.
Will the government do its bit?
Paul Everitt is adamant in his assertion that British motor manufacturing is a buoyant business, but equally adamant that the Government has a part to play in assuring its future. He believes that Government subsidies on the new generation of eco vehicles are a must, as is Government intervention in the price of fuel. He also said the industry would not welcome a hike in the Bank of England interest rate.
Rise in UK car sales not expected to last
Britain's car market was stronger than expected in June, showing a surprise 10.8% rise in registrations, meaning not just a rise in people getting a motor insurance quote for a new car, but also that the car market in the United Kingdom was stronger than expected according to the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders). However analysts forecast that demand for new vehicles will go back to a negative number during the last six months of the year, with the £2,000 scrappage incentive, which boosted demand among buyers ending. The new business secretary Vince Cable, last week told one newspaper that the emergency in the car making industry was now over and that the car industry could no longer count on any direct government aid.
