Planting tulip bulbs just before the ground freezes keeps squirrels from digging them up
I confess to being one of those gardeners who habitually puts off planting tulip bulbs.
Brr! Time for frozen fingers.
Mine, that is. I confess to being one of those gardeners who habitually puts off planting tulip bulbs.
Ever since learning that tulips (unlike daffodils) can go into the ground right before freeze-up, I keep procrastinating. There are, after all, so many other things to do in the garden in fall. As a result, I wind up hacking haphazard holes during some howling gale, cursing both my impulse purchase of more bulbs and my gardening gloves. (When, I wonder, is a manufacturer going to come up with a glove that fits well and is warm?)
I've even planted tulips on Christmas Day (a neat way to dodge family arguments over how long to cook the turkey) and this year, will doubtless be no different. I'll be out there with numb digits, battling wind and wet snow, wishing I could move to Mexico.
But there is one big plus to tardiness over tulips. Squirrels are less likely to dig the bulbs up that we plant at the end of fall. It's not hard to figure out why, either. Once the temperature plummets, most bushy-tails are already ensconced in those dreys they build high in the trees, cozily sleeping the winter away. The smart little critters aren't going to emerge and start poking around where we've been digging, unless there's a thaw.
Smoothing out the dug area, so that the soil looks untouched, seems to deter their deviousness, too.
However, while pictures of new, knockout new tulips are certainly seductive, I'm turning more and more to varieties that don't require crawling around on hands and knees in fall. (The big drawback to many hybrid tulips, I've discovered, is that they don't last longer than a couple of seasons in the garden).
Here are three tulip toughies that I like:
Whitalli: an unusual species that's modestly sized, but comes up like clockwork in my garden every year. Its flowers are sculptural, in a sort of marmalade colour streaked with cream on the outside, then paler inside. Whitalli was imported to Europe from Turkey (where all tulips originated) over two centuries ago and it doesn't multiply much. So buy at least a dozen bulbs. From GardenImport in Richmond Hill.
Fire of Love: a modern hybrid or an oldie? Not sure. The red flower itself is unremarkable, but what turns me on is the gorgeous foliage streaked with green, red and cream. It tends to sprawl along the ground, so needs room at the front of a flower bed. Mine have lasted for several years. From GardenImport.
Queen of Sheba: Tall, chic and scarlet, with the lily-flowered shape that the Turks loved. The late, great British gardener Christopher Lloyd, introduced me to this queen of tulips over a decade ago, and it's still surviving in my garden. Plant in a sheltered spot, though, as its leggy stalks flop in wind. Available at many garden centres.
Now, get out there and freeze those fingers ...

Gunnerside is a village in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated on the B6270 road, and approximately 25 miles (40 km) west of the county town of Northallerton. The village lies between the River Swale and its tributary, Gunnerside Beck, in the Swaledale part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Gunnerside Ghyll (or Gunnerside Gill), a smaller valley running northwards, at right angles to the Swale valley (Swaledale), was the site of a major lead mining industry in Swaledale until the late nineteenth century.
Gunnerside contains a Methodist Chapel, a part-time post office, and a working smithy/museum. The village primary school is one of two sites of the Reeth and Gunnerside Schools. At the foot of Gunnerside Ghyll is the Kings Head public house. At the south of the village is the Grade II listed 1830s Gunnerside New Bridge over the River Swale.[1]
Local employment centres on clockmaking, hill farming, gamekeeping and construction, the latter concerned chiefly with the maintenance of traditional stone-built field walls, houses and barns.

It's a spool world: A new film is paying tribute to the legacy - and afterlife - of VHS
Chris Beanland rewinds with the film's director Josh Johnson.
Wednesday 24 April 2013
In among the roll call of hipster rom-coms set in craft breweries or bicycle shops at last month's SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, one gem shone out. It was a low-budget look at the fag end of film – the video tape.
"Video shaped who I am more than any other presence in my life," muses Josh Johnson. "My obsession with film flourished because a wealth of cinema history was available to me on video." The New York-via-Austin director felt he owed so much to tape that he had to pay the little black box back – by making a documentary about video's unsung role in film history.
On the opposite side of the Atlantic, long before the internet enabled easy global communication, video touched Manchester writer Noel Mellor in the same way at the same time. "I remember the first time I walked into a rental store in 1983 with my parents, feeling like a kid in a sweet shop," he reminisces. "It didn't take long for my mum to realise this was no sweet shop! She had her hands bolted over my face and I was blindly marched out. I spent the next 30 years hunting down those titles I got just a glimpse of that day." Mellor is now writing a book – Adventures In VHS.
Video was ejected from our lives long ago in favour of DVD, Blu-ray and now cloud storage. But it lingers in our collective consciousness. Johnson and Mellor are just two of video's growing band of aficionados; people who remain obsessed with an obsolete, if much-treasured format.
"The video revolution democratised media in a profound way," reckons Johnson, whose film Rewind This! is a tender look back at home-made horror, lurid box designs and forgotten straight-to-video clangers. It narrows its focus on the way video could be made and shared cheaply – telling stories like that of Mississippi school friends Jayson Lamb, Chris Strompolos and Eric Zala, who shot a scene-for-scene remake of Raiders Of The Lost Ark on a borrowed camcorder in 1982 – the same premise which was borrowed for Britflick Son of Rambow 25 years later.
Without home video could we ever have had YouTube, Dailymotion and Vimeo? "YouTube has made it much easier to share and distribute self-made content," says Johnson, but he believes "that ability to create and share footage at low cost is just a continuation of the early video boom".
YouTube paid homage to the 57th anniversary of the first video cassette recorder earlier this month by adding a "VHS button" allowing some clips to be paused and rewound, complete with that authentic fuzzy freeze-frame effect familiar to anyone over 30.
The most eye-opening part of Rewind This! is where pornography's role in shaping video culture is enthusiastically probed. "Most people would gladly pay a premium price to avoid masturbating in public," deadpans Josh Johnson. "The ability to watch triple-X material in the privacy of one's home was a massive driving force in the success of video."
Those YouTube retro effects are enough to bring back memories of damaged erotic tapes, where static told its own story of pause and rewind buttons being greedily over-deployed. Men of a certain age might recall surreptitiously recording mild TV titillation such as Eurotrash. "I used to tape all sorts off Channel 4 on a Friday night," admits Mellor.
Some of the home video howlers'sent into You've Been Framed proved that access to a video camera didn't necessarily correlate with any cinematographical talent. At Adam Buxton's music-video evening Bug last month, the VHS-obsessed director of Shaun of The Dead, Edgar Wright, revealed that while working as a 20-year-old researcher on YBF spin-off Jeremy Beadle's Hot Shots, viewer footage was often so bad he had to go and re-shoot submissions himself.
But video had a serious side too. There was barely a stills camera at Orgreave Colliery in Yorkshire during the 1893 confrontation between soldiers and striking miners. But in 1984, at the very beginning of home video, it was a different story. At the Battle of Orgreave on June 18, camcorders captured the violent reality of the largest British industrial confrontation of the 20th century. And that public access; that ability to shape the news, would only mushroom in years to come.
Three decades on, interest in video is being piqued again despite everyone having a video recorder in their pockets. "VHS is seeing a resurgence of late," agrees Dale Lloyd, who has some 2,500 tapes. "But I don't think that it will come back around like, say, vinyl has. Vinyl sounds better than any CD or download – you can't say the same about VHS."
Lloyd enthusiastically reminisces about renting titles from Video Vision in Tipton, West Midlands, and now screens rare videos at the Prince Charles Cinema in London and The Electric in Birmingham. He features briefly in Rewind This! with David Baldwin, The Electric's assistant manager.
Baldwin's cinema was a place where men went to watch X-rated features in the 1970s. Now it's a swish art-house. Did video also kill the cinema's star? "VHS didn't kill cinemas, but it did make them better," says Baldwin. "Also, remember the 'Theatrical Window'? There was a huge gap between the film being at the cinema and being on VHS; maybe a year. That gap is nearly nonexistent now."
Surprisingly, some films are now only available on VHS – so tapes have a kind of archival value that goes beyond their more obvious charms as time capsule trinkets from simpler days. Also, points out Lloyd: "Some movies, mainly low budget 1980s horror, just work better with a bit of grain. Hi-def isn't as scary."
'Rewind This!' and 'Adventures In VHS' are both out later this year.

The Hivelocity Nightmare - Service TERMINATED for SPAM
A month ago I decided to use Hivelocity for my US VPS servers - they had great prices, quality hardware, great network, friendly staff, almost always online day or night and accepted my proposal for a first month discount.
I received my server and everything was to be expected, ran some stress tests and they surpassed my expectations. My account manager Lee had be real great and helpful for the whole process.
Before making this purchase, I stated exactly what the purpose of this machine was going to be used for to Lee and the General Manager Steve. I was to be hosting VPS for my web hosting services. I specifically asked about issues regarding SPAM complaints and they said all should be okay as long as I have a AUP in place. I also stated I am more than happy to delist any IPs as I have experience in this from working with web hosts in the past, and will be with you guys for years to come.
Almost a month later now Hivelocity sent me a report that an IP has been blacklisted on spamhaus.org for a blackhole exploit kit and that this IP has been null-routed. Within an hour of receiving this email, I had taken care of the client (suspended, then later terminated the VPS) and responded to the email received from Hivelocity's abuse department as well as an email to Steve directly. This client was not in operation for more than 48 hours.
A day later I get another complaint from a apparently well known "ROKSO spammer" that signs up with the name Ryan Gillies. I had been informed the IP was null-routed.
Within an hour of receiving this email, I had the client suspended (due for investigation by my server admin), a response was made and contact with Steve regarding the warnings I had received. This client was not in operation for more than 24 hours.
When my system admin became available, I had the VPS unsuspended (with the root pass changed) so that he could investigate what scripts were being ran as they seemed to have gotten passed certain functions/filters that help reduce and find spammers. I figured all was safe since the IP had been null routed. After the investigation, we find lots of information on this person and his methods of spamming.
A day later, Hivelocity sends in a termination notice and immediately has the server shut off. This notice concluded that the VPS machine was still sending spam days later. But wait, how can this be? They stated the IP was null routed. Apparently the IP had the null route removed--WITHOUT NOTIFICATION---and this was my fault entirely that constitutes immediate termination of my server.
I also made no contact with Hivelocity that stated to remove the null route on said IP. The VPS was also not even unsuspended for that long.
Through hours and hours of wasted time with almost every person at Hivelocity, no refunds will be made, none of my clients data is available to obtain by download, my service cannot be reactivated, and I have apparently been put on some sort of "blacklist" for my actions.
Here are some quotes from the team of Hivelocity. They are a mess indeed.
You caused a listing, we allowed your server back on line on the basis the
infringing VPS would stay down and that you would resolve the issue. Your
server again caused a listing and by the same VPS. So there is no fault on our
behalf. We have gave you the benefit of the doubt and you did not hold up your
end of the bargain. You are right, most DCs may have handled the situation
differently. They would have terminated your server, then charged a huge clean
up fee with zero chance to get any of your data. We have offered you a way to
get your files. It is up to you if you want to get them.
I will pass your request for a refund to your account manager, however given
the situation it is not likely to be awarded.
Systems Management Specialist
How is your server causing a spam listing our fault? The whole reason you are
in this situation is because your server was sending out spam. There are
hundreds if not thousands of forum posts complaining about other Hosting
Companies regarding abuse as well. That is because people like yourself who
get their server's shut off for spam regardless if it was justified or not like
to make complaints. That is the nature of abuse issues. . We are more then
justified in this case and we are confident anyone who actually knew the full
extent of why your server was terminated would probably agree. Every time a
listing is created it costs us far more then $500 collectively.
Again I will forward your complaints to your account manger. But again, I
doubt there is any likely hood you will be refunded anything.

Is there any fee for SBL removal?
No. There is never any charge or fee associated with removing any Spamhaus listing.
Any offer from anyone to remove any Spamhaus listing for you for a fee is a scam. Spamhaus has no affiliation with anyone offering any 'blocklist removal' service, nor can any third party influence or expedite removals from any Spamhaus database.
Removals of Spamhaus listings are governed by our removals policy only. The criteria for removal from the SBL are explained on the SBL Delisting Procedure page. All removals from the SBL or ROKSO are the sole decision of The Spamhaus Project.
While there are 'deliverability consultants' who can help improve your email sending practices to meet Spamhaus standards, it is important to know that none of them have any special privilege to influence, expedite or modify SBL or ROKSO listings.
Please wait for a site operator to respond.

Chris: great! thanks vick.
Vick: you are welcome
Vick: It was a pleasure talking to you.
Vick: Thank you for chatting with Hivelocity Live Chat Support.Hello,
You don't have to purchase the drives to obtain your data. You mentioned in
other tickets you were coming into town. By all means stop by the DC and we
shall have the server ready so copy your data off. Simply let us know 24 hours
before you come in.
We were already aware of your chat conversation and it was already logged as
all our chat transcripts are.
Again. without explicit instruction from your account manager, management, and
the abuse department to put your server online, it simply is not going to go
online. Jay (abuse manager) has made it very clear that your server is not go
back online. I believe I have mentioned this to you before, but if you would
like to appeal. please contact email@example.com .
I really would like to help. We do sympathize but you really need to contact
your account manager and the abuse department to settle this. We can't make
this call in the tech department.
Systems Management Specialist
Please be advised that the server was terminated from the network as it was a
SPAM source which caused RBL listings and was hosting a ROKSO spammer. You were
given a chance to resolve by terminating the account but rather than doing so
you allowed the ROKSO to spam again and relist the IP.
With regards to your data, this is nothing personal but if you would like to
retrieve it you have only one option, and that would be to purchase the
harddrives and arrange shipping. Under no circumstance shall you be granted
access to the facility to copy your data. Typically when servers are terminated
the data is seized, especially when the system holds data for a ROKSO spammer.
Thank you!

I understand that you may have acted quickly (even though unknown to us).
However, if you suspended the VPS then it would be a concern as to why the same
client still sending mail from your server. Here was the message from spamhaus

Spam is still being sent from this VPS by the same customer, so the SBL record
has been reactivated. Can you look into this?

We are not able to put the server back online without risking serious repercussion to our network. The situation is unfortunate and spammers are bad eggs that ruin a lot of things. Our only option is to ship you the drive. We cannot put the server back online. We will not be refunding you but we will not be charging you for next month or any other future service. I am sorry for the situation but you were hosting a professional spammer, as you put it, and they have screwed us both.

The fact of the matter is we don't know you from Adam and we have made assurances that your server will no longer send spam. Should we turn you back on to get your data and you abuse our network we will never get our IPs delisted again because we will lied to the folks that delisted us already. Do you understand?

I feel conned and embarrassed for putting my faith/trust into Hivelocity, I even had a few people ask me what datacenter I use before making a purchase, and when I told them Hivelocity they had to turn my services down because apparently Hivelocity has a horrible reputation for handling abuse cases--and now I believe it. The abuse team is a joke, I have never been treated so unfair and poorly by a datacenter such as Hivelocity.Last edited by Spluut; 04-30-2012 at 04:31 PM.

How is this Hivelocity's fault.
You unsuspended the VPS that continued to send spam.
The technical details of how spammer managed to bypass you changing the root password is not hivelocity's problem.
Yes its unfortunate, but its your own doing.
You replied to them that you had suspended the vps, so of course they are going to remove the block.

The spammer did not bypass anything, they had a script that automatically starts, which is what my server admin was investigating on how it works and how it bypasses some filters we had to help detect spammers. Terminating a VPS without investigating how you can help prevent this is just lazy.
They null routed the IP without notification of re-enable, they also claimed to not have gotten any of my emails, because they claimed I had to create a ticket and that the abuse email was not monitored. (reviewing the email, they did state this and I admit to missing that part but they forgave this issue - though most hosts I have used have emails pipped and is a very common practice)
So Hivelocity without hearing from me (according to them) reactivated those IPs.
I understand that you may have acted quickly (even though unknown to us).
Thank you!

This is a very difficult situation to be in for both parties the customer and the provider. I can see the customers point of view as well as HV. I believe they should make the data available to you via a online medium. Or a option to purchase the drive Which looks like is a option.
Upstream providers are getting more and more difficult to deal with regarding spam. And its easier to get rid of a customer who is bringing in tons of trash clients onto the network.
I do feel personally that HV should work a bit closer to the customer and be a bit more reasonable. but obviously they see you as a loss and they are going to focus support/customer service on customers that will be generating them money and not ones that are going to lose them money. Not saying this is the case or this is right but just a guess.

There was no complaint against any upstream providers, this was simply a blacklisting.
As for business, well they would have gained a lot more business from me had they handled this situation better. Spam is always a problem and it was dealt with in a way that would help detect the methods this guy used to spam. He wasn't even active for 24 hours before being shut down.The web hosting market will never die. Virtual environments are forever the future and easily adapt to change. Welcome to the world wide web!

I can understand how frustrating it is. We recently had a couple clients sign up for service and began spamming. We moved forward with the maxmind plugin and moved to manual verifications. Unfortunately we found that this was a necessity especially if you are targeting the budget market. Anytime i see these types of issues they catch my eye because it hits close to home.

It would be interesting to hear what hivelocity have to say on the matter.
Seem to keeping quiet about the abuse threads.

He never responded to me until today, needless to say he simply repeated what had already been said to me by the abuse department.
I did not state the VPS was terminated, just questioning the actions and warnings.
The box was pinged and at the time was null routed.The web hosting market will never die. Virtual environments are forever the future and easily adapt to change. Welcome to the world wide web!
They have representatives on this forum, I am sure they will look into your ticket and shed some light.

Well Jay is their Sr. Sys admin and he is a true guy and got me fixed up many times back in '06 and I know that he makes good choices. It is extremely difficult to have ips remove from all black lists and by allowing the spam to be sent out you are affecting their ips and network. It's the hosts responsibility to handle spam issues not the datacenters.

Why would you turn the VPS back on? Why didn't your admin just mount the file system and investigate the init scripts and server daemon configurations to see what was going on? What he did was extremely irresponsible and in no way falls under due diligence.
I can definitely see HV's side on this one.

To view a bracket and or to sign in and play the Deseret News bracket challenge, click right here.
LAS VEGAS — The Mountain West Conference has never been stronger, yet it's only sending three teams to the NCAA tournament and one of them — No. 8 BYU — is leaving the league after this season.
Moreover, the Cougars are not the same dominant team heading into the NCAA tournament without suspended post player Brandon Davies.
The MWC ranked fourth in the RPI this year, behind the Big East, Big Ten and Big 12, which received 11, seven and five bids, respectively. The ACC (four) and SEC (six) also received more bids than the MWC.
New Mexico coach Steve Alford lobbied for greater respect heading into the league tournament in Las Vegas, but his conference's chances of getting four teams in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year took a dive when the Lobos' pinballing point guard Dairese Gary blew out his right knee in their semifinal game against BYU Friday night.
With Gary out, the Lobos were unable to beat BYU for a third time, and the Cougars (30-4) advanced to the championship, where they were lambasted by No. 7 San Diego State 72-54 Saturday night.
The Aztecs (32-2), who avenged BYU's sweep in conference play, earned the conference's automatic bid and on Sunday earned the 12-year-old league's highest seeding ever when they were announced as the No. 2 seed in the West. They'll face Big Sky champion Northern Colorado (21-12) Thursday in Tucson, Ariz.
Two weeks ago, BYU was ranked third in the country and had designs on a top overall seed. But without Davies, they've slipped to eighth in the rankings and earned a No. 3 seed in the Southwest. The Cougars will face Wofford (21-12) Thursday in Denver.
UNLV (24-8) is the eighth seed in the Southwest and will face Illinois (19-13) Friday in Tulsa, Okla.
New Mexico and Colorado State are likely headed for the NIT, and Air Force (15-15) will face North Dakota (19-14) on Tuesday in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com tournament. Those teams haven't met since 1965.
Before this year, the highest an MWC team had ever been placed was New Mexico's No. 3 seeding last year. The deepest a league school has ever gone in the NCAA tournament is trips to the Sweet 16 by Utah in 2005 and UNLV in 2007.
Two weeks ago, BYU looked like a Final Four favorite. Then came Davies' suspension for violating the school's honor code and BYU's subsequent shift to a four-guard lineup.
They were 27-2 with Davies and are 3-2 without him, with their two losses coming to New Mexico and San Diego by 18 points each.
Now, national scoring leader Jimmer Fredette, who scored a career-best 52 points in the semis, will try to guide the Cougars at least as far as Danny Ainge did in 1981, when they reached the round of 8.
Without Davies, the Cougars sport a smaller lineup that was no match for the longer, deeper, faster Aztecs. And any team with size and speed in the NCAAs could counter Fredette's explosive scoring.
"It's a big factor. He's a key player on that team," San Diego State forward Billy White said. "We took advantage of that and crashed the boards, just played San Diego State basketball. We knew if we just tried to contain Jimmer and tried to make everybody else shoot, we knew that we had the game."
Without Davies, the Cougars were outscored by the Aztecs 38-14 in the paint, and they shot just 32 percent.
In addition to BYU bolting to the West Coast Conference this summer, Utah is leaving for the Pac-12, and losing both teams from the "Beehive State" is a big blow to the MWC.

SportIndia draw match and series in SA Gautam Gambhir plays it safe with half century on final day as sides stay at one and two in world Test rankings. 06 Jan 2011 17:25 GMT | Sport, Cricket, Australia, India, South Africa Gambhir played a steady innings after India were set an improbable winning target of 340 at Newlands [AFP] India emphasised their ranking as the number one team in Test cricket when they drew the third and final match and earned a share of the series against second-ranked South Africa in Cape Town. Opening batsman Gautam Gambhir guided India to safety with a cautious innings of 64. Set to make an improbable 340 to win, India were 166 for three when the captains agreed to call off play with eight overs remaining at Newlands. It was the first time in five tours of South Africa that India managed a share of the honours, an achievement which seemed unlikely when they were beaten by an innings and 25 runs in the first Test in Centurion. But India bounced back by winning the second Test in Durban by 87 runs. A draw was a fair result after a match of fluctuating fortunes and some high-quality performances by players of both teams. Kallis masterclass Man of the match and man of the series Jacques Kallis took his career total of Test centuries to 40 with innings of 161 and 109 not out, while Sachin Tendulkar, the only man ahead of him on the all-time list, made a battling 146 for India. Dale Steyn, the world's leading fast bowler, took five for 75 in the first innings but had to wait until an hour and a half before the scheduled close on Thursday to add to his tally, having Gambhir caught down the leg side by wicketkeeper Mark Boucher. Day five scorecard South Africa first innings 362 India first innings 364 South Africa second innings 341 India second inningsG Gambhir c Boucher b Steyn 64V Sehwag c Smith b Morkel 11R Dravid c Prince b Tsotsobe 31S Tendulkar not out 14V Laxman not out 32Extras 14Total (three wickets, 82 overs) 166FoW: 1-27 2-106 3-120Did not bat: C Pujara, M Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, S Sreesanth.Bowling: Steyn 18-6-43-1, Morkel 15-6-26-1, Tsotsobe 13-4-29-1, Harris 30-19-29-0, Smith 4-0-27-0, Petersen 2-0-5-0 Kallis and Gambhir played crucial second innings after suffering injuries during the first innings which will keep them out of a forthcoming one-day series. Gambhir suffered a left elbow injury while making 93 in the first innings and looked in distress when he was struck by Morkel just below the injured elbow in the second over of the second innings. He received treatment on the field before carrying on batting with no further obvious signs of discomfort. The left-handed Gambhir batted for 271 minutes and faced 154 balls as he made virtually certain India could not be beaten. South Africa could make only one breakthrough in each of the three sessions. Although there was some uneven bounce, the pitch did not help the bowlers as much as the South Africans had hoped. Following a 2-1 defeat against Australia in 2008/09 and a drawn series against England last season, it was the third successive home series that South Africa failed to win. Even the normally aggressive Virender Sehwag made no attempt to score quickly when India started the final innings of the series. The first of his two boundaries came only in the seventh over, when he square-cut Steyn to the boundary, and the second was a half-chance to a leaping JP Duminy at backward point when he played a similar shot against Lonwabo Tsotsobe. Sehwag completed a disappointing series when he was caught at first slip by South African captain Graeme Smith off Morkel for 11 after batting for three minutes short of an hour. Sehwag scored 144 runs in the series at an average of 24. Gambhir and Rahul Dravid defied the South African bowlers until after the afternoon drinks break in a second-wicket stand of 79 before Dravid was caught at third slip for 31 when he got a ball from Tsotsobe which kicked from just short of a length.Source: AFP

This week's snapshot of just one work-related fatality in the US. This one occurred on March 11, 2015 in Jal, NM
The fatal work-related injuries that killed Jose Alfredo Isagirrez-Mejia could have been prevented had his employer followed worker safety regulations.
McDonald's employees recently filed 28 complaints with OSHA. This made me wonder how often OSHA get safety complaints from fast food workers?
Workplace suicides took a sharp upward turn in 2008, with workers in the protective services, such as police officers and firefighters, at greatest risk, a new study finds. Researchers say the findings point to the workplace as a prime location for reaching those at risk with potentially life-saving information and help.
This week's snapshot of just one work-related fatality in the US. This one occurred on March 6, 2015 in Kingsbury, IN.
OSHA releases new report on injury, inequality and workers' compensation; fast food sues to stop Seattle minimum wage increase; California lawmaker proposes fund for farmworker health; and federal employees can sue for late payments during the government shutdown.
In Boston, you're never too far away from a Dunkin' Donuts. In fact, the Massachusetts-based company inspires a fiery sense of loyalty in many Bostonians. It's kind of hard to give up the city's ubiquitous fast food staple, but Paul Drake is committed.
Michael Grabell and Howard Berkes use the experiences of injured workers as a reality check on the US workers' compensation system.
The public health literature is pretty clear when it comes to income status and poverty and their profound effects on health, disability, disease and life expectancy. But what about income inequality? Does a rising gap in wealth and resource distribution affect people's health too?
An historical collection of workplace safety posters from European agencies and advocates cover themes that are still relevant today.

Discuss: Ovechkin's 39th gives Caps 6-5 overtime win over Wings
Feb 2, 2014, 3:23 PM EDT
Alex Ovechkin made his 39th goal of the season a big one as it was the game-winner in overtime on the power play to give the Washington Capitals a 6-5 win against the Detroit Red Wings.
The Capitals were on the power play after Detroit defenseman Brendan Smith was called for tripping off the face off. With the 4-on-3 advantage in OT, Ovechkin fired a laser of a shot past Jimmy Howard to help the Capitals get within a point of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Joel Ward had two goals for Washington. Detroit wasted a hat trick from Gustav Nyquist in the loss.
While the loss stings for the Red Wings, they've drawn even with Philadelphia for the final Wild Card spot in the East with the point earned for getting to overtime.
Michal Neuvirth stopped 25 shots; Howard made 22 saves.
Here is Ovechkin's game-winner:
A few thoughts to take with you into the comments:
— Ward has now scored in three straight games and has 17 goals on the season. That's good for second on the Caps behind Ovechkin and his 39. That's a slight gap.
— Remember when Nyquist didn't make the Red Wings roster out of camp because they re-signed Dan Cleary and didn't have salary cap room for him? He's got 13 goals in 30 games now.
— This wasn't quite the goalie love-fest their matchup on Friday night was in Detroit, but the goalies did what they had to to hang around in it. That might be really faint praise.
Here are the highlights from what was a wild game:
The comments are open, we're sure you've got thoughts about the penalty in overtime that led to the game-winner.

Gianna is just one fun girl. She was jumping around on my trampoline in the backyard when I decided to see if she would measure up. I had my suspicions that she would be a perfect addition to the 40 inch plus club but I had to make sure. She was having so much fun on the trampoline she insisted on fucking on it as well. I can truly say I saw it all now. A gorgeous woman cumming bouncing and laughing all at the same time. I dont know why I ever questioned whether or not I should get a trampoline. Girls love it.

What's it about?
Kids tilt the device to guide the Doodler as he jumps higher and higher, collecting power-ups and avoiding obstacles along the way. The higher up the course The Doodler goes, the deadlier the obstacles, but the better the boosts, such as springs and rocket packs. Kids on an iOS device can play a multiplayer game with Game Center friends, or with a random matchup using Game Center.
Is it any good?
In this irresistible game a little green alien -- aka the Doodler -- bounces up a sheet of graph paper from one platform to the next, all while avoiding meanies. The quirky graphics and sound effects are memorable, especially the monsters' funny "rom-de-rom" grumblings. Other players' scores are scribbled in the margins of the game as you fly up the page, which is a great touch. Frequent updates keep the game fresh with new creatures to avoid.
