Abbott Loop Community Church leaders scrambled Saturday to cope with the dramatic auditorium roof collapse Friday night that one witness said looked like a tornado while it was happening.
The damage put the church's building at the corner of Abbott Road and Lake Otis Parkway out of commission for now, said Frank Curry, one of the pastors. The congregation will meet temporarily at Anchorage City Church, he said.
"We give big thank-yous for support from the community," Curry said. "It's overwhelming."
The roof crumbled and the building caved in over the church auditorium, the space where the congregation of 450 to 500 gather to worship every Sunday, Curry said.
No one was in the auditorium at the time -- shortly after 6 p.m. Friday -- but a sound technician was on his way in, and a group was set to rehearse music there at 6:30 p.m., Curry said. Three men were in a gym in another part of the building but got out safely. They told fire crews that air pressure from the collapse almost blew them over.
The whole building has been posted "unsafe to occupy" by the city until a structural engineer hired by the church determines the safety of the rest of it, said Jim Stubbs, lead structural building inspector for the city. He said the cause of the collapse was likely snow load. It was a flat roof.
Stubbs, whose job is to go to collapses like this one for the city building safety division, happened to be sitting in his vehicle at the Lake Otis Parkway-Abbott Road intersection when the roof came apart.
"All at once I saw the big spruce trees right at the edge of the church start to swirl around, and dust and gray was coming out and I thought man, that's like a tornado," he said. "But it couldn't be a tornado. Then as the air continued to rush out there came the insulation from inside the building, and then the whole thing just collapsed."
"A wall went down across Lake Otis. Unbelievable, it just went down like that," he said.
Stubbs called 911, then went to work with arriving Anchorage Fire Department crews to make sure it was safe for fire crews to go in.
The Fire Department learned no one was trapped. The building utilities were turned off, and the building was turned over to the church, said a Fire Department spokesman.
The northbound lane of Lake Otis was closed until early Saturday so the debris could be secured, Stubbs said.
The entire building "was compromised once that section went down," he said.
The main damage was limited to the west end of the auditorium.
There's water damage from sprinklers in church offices, Curry said.
Stubbs said workers were removing snow from the still-intact east roof of the auditorium Saturday, and the next step would be to shore up the east end.
The first permanent structure for the church was built in 1963, and it had been added on to through the years.
Curry said he was shocked when he heard that it was the auditorium roof that collapsed because that was a more recent addition -- built in 1980.
A work party the previous Sunday had cleared snow off other parts of the roof but left this section alone because it was considered to be in better shape, Curry said.
Stubbs said this year's snow load has increased the likelihood of roof collapses, mainly for flat, commercial-sized roofs like the church's.
"This is my sixth collapse in two weeks," he said. "Most are broken beams and trusses. This is the biggest by far I've ever seen."
As it continues to snow, city building officials recommend people assess their roofs, Stubbs said.
City officials recommend people should watch for snow drifts on roofs, excessive ice buildup, new cracks in ceilings or walls and ice-choked drains.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Palihouse West Hollywood
8465 Holloway Drive, West Hollywood, CA, USA
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Though the phrase "extended stay" may summon images of dreary corporate apartments, Palihouse West Hollywood proves that it's a concept that can be done in high style. Boasting boutique-hotel looks alongside apartment-scale space and a discreet low-maintenance atmosphere, it's quite a change from the paper-thin walls and late-night circus ambiance of the typical high-design establishment.
Any place you're meant to spend upwards of a week had better come with plenty of creature comforts, and this one does: six hundred square feet, at minimum, plus full kitchens. Flat-screen televisions and DVD players are standard, as are high-end Egyptian cotton linens and marble bathrooms equipped with rain showers and Damana bath products.
And anywhere you're settling in for an extended stay should have a restaurant that it's hard to get tired of. On that score The Palihouse Courtyard Brasserie is much more than adequate, serving classic brasserie fare on a courtyard patio and in an adjoining dining room, both charmingly sedate spaces. Add a lobby lounge and an espresso bar and you're covered for all hours of the day or night — for a week in West Hollywood you could do a whole lot worse.
Please note: Palihouse West Hollywood is a luxury long-stay hotel. For negotiated rates on stays of 30+ nights, please contact email@example.com.

What I liked:
We loved the design and the huge room! This was evidently built to be a condo, so the kitchen was a nice touch. The attention to detail and service was impeccable. Hotel is centrally located, which was a plus.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
The welcome was warm and sincere and very prompt. The decor is great. I love the ambiance and space. The room was well appointed with fabulous bedding and lots of space -- well worth the cost and way better than other shoebox boutique hotel. I wish I could have stayed longer.
What the hotel could do better:
One of the windows could not be locked and the room is only one flight up, so not the safest situation. The room smelled like someone had smoked a cigar (could be a new "room scent" but considering it's supposed to be a non-smoking hotel, you start to second-guess it). I would like to see better/newer towels and some basic foods stocked like snacks, wine, beer etc. Or at least offer the chance to order them (it wasn't quite clear that I could).

Median paid for home in April up 21 percent over 2012 level
San Diego County home prices have hit the highest level in five years, as distressed sales continue to fall and mortgage rates are still near record lows.
The median price of a home sold in April rose to $400,000, up 21 percent from the same time a year ago, reported San Diego-based real estate monitor DataQuick on Tuesday. Last month's median price matched the median in April 2008. The all-time peak was $517,500 in November 2005. Sales rose 7 percent from a year ago to 3,792.
The county has seen double-digit annual increases for the past eight months, prompting some concerns of a lead-up to another housing bubble.
Michael Lea, a real estate economist at San Diego State University, believes those fears are overblown. Continued hikes in home prices are due largely to a shift from a distressed market, which brought consumers heavily discounted deals, to a more traditional market. Short sales — deals that let borrowers sell their homes for less than what they owe — are also declining.
Properties that were lost to foreclosure in the past year and resold in April made up 10 percent of total home resales, the lowest share in six years, DataQuick numbers show. They peaked at 55 percent in January 2009. The median price at that time was $280,000.
"The market has seen a significant decline in the number of lower-priced transactions, in part because foreclosures and short sales are petering out," Lea said.
As the supply of lower-priced homes dwindles, more San Diego homebuyers are moving up in price range. That also has caused the countywide median price to shoot up.
About a third of residential transactions sold for $500,000 or more in April, the highest share for any month in five years, according to DataQuick figures. A year ago, that share was 23 percent.
That significant jump is due to overall price appreciation during the past 12 months and "just more activity in the move-up market with the improving economy," said DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage.
"It's a big change in psychology ... in just a year," he added.
Lower-than-normal supply continues to play a role in countywide prices firming up.
The number of homes on the market has steadily risen in the past four months but remains about 31 percent lower than a year ago. Fewer homes on the market means increased competition among buyers, everyone from first-time buyers to investors. Stories of bidding wars continue to surface.
Low mortgage rates, which have made homeownership more affordable, keep driving housing demand, said Lea, the economist at SDSU's Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate.
Fixed rates rose for the first time in six weeks but remain near historic lows. The 30-year fixed is averaging 3.42 percent, while the 15-year fixed rate is averaging 2.61 percent, based on Freddie Mac numbers.
The Federal Reserve has continued to buy mortgage-backed securities to boost the overall economy. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the stimulus plan should keep both long-term interest rates and mortgage rates down, allowing more people to buy homes and refinance their home loans.

Aug 3, 2013True Legend tells the story of Yuan Lie, the pale kung-Fu master of the Five Venom Fist, who is adopted by the man who killed his father andTrue Legend tells the story of Yuan Lie, the pale kung-Fu master of the Five Venom Fist, who is adopted by the man who killed his father and raised him as one of his own. Jealous of his adopted brother Su Can's marriage to his sister, Yuan Ying, and longing for vengeance for the murder of his father, Yuan Lie takes his revenge, and takes over the kingdom as his own, and keeps his nephew hostage. Barely escaping with their lives, Su Can and Yuan Ying flee to the mountains, where they plan to rescue their son. Thinking that her husband has gone mad, Yuan Ying ventures off to rescue her son alone, while Su Can fights with the god of wushu in his mind, and learns the secret to defeating Yuan Lie. But can Su Can reach the palace to save his family in time? I found True Legend very entertaining. The fight sequences are very well choreographed, and feature over-the-top action that is trademark of a good Kung-Fu movie. The antagonist of the movie uses armor that is sewn into his skin, and his punches shoot poison into his victims. The special effects in this movie are very well done, and show how far that Chinese cinema has come. The movie also has a well known actress, Michelle Yeoh, who plays Dr. Yu, as well as a cameo by the late American actor David Carradine. The acting of all of the characters is very well done, even from a westerner's point of view, whatever that is worth. I don't speak Mandarin, although I prefer to watch Chinese films with their original voice track, and subtitles, so when I say the acting is good, I mean that there is plenty of believable and genuine emotion throughout this movie, and that is a trait that sets this movie apart from a lot of action films. As a fan of kung fu movies, I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone else who is a fan of kung fu, or action films in general. I think this movie even deserves a spot in my Blu-Ray collection. Enjoy!!… Full Review »

Oatmeal Brulée in a Jam Jar with Fruit and Nuts
This recipe makes regular old boring oatmeal feel a little bit fancy and decadent.
Thu, Nov 06, 2014 at 10:00 AM
The brulée topping offers an elegant spin on oatmeal while the mason jar keeps it country-kitchen comforting. (Photos: Jaymi Heimbuch)
I love oatmeal, but not by itself. The plain pale mush always needs a little something to help it along; at the very least a few berries scattered over the top. I love this recipe because it makes regular old boring oatmeal feel a little bit fancy and decadent. If you usually add a little sprinkle of sugar to the top of your oatmeal anyway, then with this recipe you're really adding only one tiny step to the breakfast routine to give it extra oomph.
This is also a great idea for a dish to serve at a brunch -- oatmeal in a jam jar with a brulee top and a sprinkling of berries and nuts is simple and healthy, but with a little something special to make people go, "Oooh, yum!"
You can top the oatmeal brulée with your favorite nuts and any in-season berries, or what also works really well is putting a layer of sliced bananas or figs between your oatmeal and the sugar topping -- these fruits brulée up beautifully under the thin sugary layer of crunch.
This recipe is inspired by Camille Styles who has this dish as a breakfast routine.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 40 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Yields: 4 servings
Oatmeal Brûlée in a Jam Jar with Fruit and Nuts
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup steel-cut oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated cane sugar
- Your favorite berries and nuts
Cooking directions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and stir in the oatmeal and salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring often. When almost all the water has been absorbed, the oats are done. Stir in the cinnamon.
- Pour the oatmeal into four ovenproof jam jars or ramekins. Stir together the brown and cane sugars and sprinkle over the tops of the oatmeal.
- You can brulée in one of two ways. You can preheat the broiler of your oven, place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and broil for a couple minutes until the sugar melts and forms a crust. Or if you happen to have a brulée torch, you can just fire that up and wave it over the tops to melt the sugar and create a crust that way. Either way, you're looking at just a couple extra minutes for a creme brulée-style oatmeal breakfast, and who could pass that up??

A crew worked on the heating and air conditioning system while electricians put in wiring. Many rooms smelled like new paint. Renovations for the building, recently acquired by Wesley College, are on time to wrap up mid-December and, by January, nursing students may be walking to classes there.
Wesley College Professor of Chemistry Dr. Malcolm J. D'Souza and Northern Illinois University Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Dr. Dennis N. Kevill published a chapter on the chemistry of chloroformate and fluoroformate esters. Such esters were used extensively as war gases during World War I. These chemical compounds have now found new useful purpose in the preparation of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, and as precursors in the syntheses of several potential prodrugs. This...[more]
Wesley Professor of Business Management Dr. Kathleen C. Jacobs recently published an article entitled "Gender-specific jobs keep holding back the economy" in the News Journal. The article focuses on women's underrepresentation in blue-collar jobs and Jacobs offers insight for a solution. Jacobs is also a member of Delaware Commission for Women and a former president of the Delaware American Association for University Women.
As the school year gets underway, Delaware's oldest private college is finishing up work around campus, especially in Longwood Hall and Wesley College Chapel. This summer in Longwood Hall, Wesley College officials made plans to paint and update the building. The classrooms were also outfitted with new technology, including smart boards, projectors and computers. "The quality things about these classrooms is that they're nice sized, better equipped … these just lend themselves better to...

What are the new Sanhedrin's goals regarding the Noahides and Kabbalah?
As far as I know, they aspire to become an international court for Noahides. I heard that they even received a request to judge between the Chinese government and the Falon-Gong, but I am not sure about the details.
Regarding Kabbalah - I have no idea.
I found a link about old and new sanhedrin - hope this helps:

The city civic departments including GHMC, HMDA, Traffic Police and the APSRTC have all decided to join hands for setting up an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) for a coordinated approach towards traffic management, signals, junction improvement, bus shelters, etc.
GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu said on Monday that the Japan International Cooperative Agency (JICA) had in principle agreed to fund the project now that a master plan was prepared for the same. The municipal corporation will do lane marking on all city roads irrespective of whether they belong to Roads & Buildings (R&B) Department and civil works like improvement of 200 junctions.
Bus lanes are to be earmarked on the left side of the road with proper signages. After reviewing the existing traffic conditions and future plans related to their respective organisations, the civic heads decided to work in tandem.
APSRTC Managing Director D. Prasada Rao said the corporation was ready to build bus shelters without advertisements and locations would be finalised after a joint inspection with GHMC and Traffic Police. A list of bus shelters without any passenger amenities would be provided for necessary action.

Help at hand when elderly relative's health fails
Leslie Riley of Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y., said that when her sister-in-law began having mental and physical problems, relatives hired A Dignified Life, even though some lived nearby.
"We had no idea where to start," she said. "Barbara came in and helped us focus on what needed to be done. How to work with the doctors in the hospital. We needed to get power of attorney, we needed to provide health care proxies, we needed to figure out how to approach the financial situation."
"She had a checklist for everything," Riley said. "I would call her lovingly efficient."

Washington: President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama took the night off on Friday to watch the Broadway revival of 'A Raisin in the Sun.'
LaTanya Richardson told People magazine said that Michelle and Barack loved it, asserting that she didn't want to say that they're coming back, but the First Lady is trying to come back with her mom and that she goes to a lot of shows with her daughters.
The First Couple, during intermission, made their way backstage - with Secret Service – to meet and get their pictures clicked with the cast of the play.
At curtain call, Denzel Washington pointed (and tipped his hat) to Barack and Michelle, who should have left by that time but stayed for the standing ovation.

LSU receiving duo is NFL-bound
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — LSU coach Les Miles sees one potential downside to Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry entering this week's NFL draft.
It is that the best of friends, who also comprised the most prolific receiving tandem in Tigers history last season, probably won't get to play on the same team or be around each other as much.
"Ideally, you could send them to the same team, because they can do the same things with different skill sets and it just fits," Miles said. "They wanted to be great and they challenged each other every day with their ability to catch balls. And the most ridiculous grabs we saw them make, week after week, in practice."
LSU's football program, in existence since 1893, never had two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season until 2013. Landry had 1,193, fourth all-time at LSU for a single season, and Beckham had 1,152 (fifth). Together they combined for a little more than 66 percent of all LSU receptions last season and also combined for 18 touchdown catches, including a team-leading 10 by Landry.
They are not projected to be selected in the same round. Beckham, who has more speed and was also a standout return man, is expected to go in the first round. NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said Beckham would likely be the third or fourth receiver selected.
"Beckham is an explosive kid with return skills," Mayock said, adding that the 6-foot, 193-pound receiver "gets in and out of breaks as well as any receiver in this draft," and, "has good size."
Landry's draft grades haven't been as high, primarily because of his 4.77 40-yard time at the NFL combine, the slowest of 45 receivers there. He did, however, run a 4.51 at LSU's pro day in April.
Analysts have speculated Landry will be taken in the second or third rounds because of his perceived lack of speed. Mayock likes him.
"One of my favorite players in the draft is Jarvis Landry," Mayock said. "Not fast, but one of the toughest players in this draft. I think he's a value in the third round."
Beckham, however, is bothered by the thought of Landry being anything other than a first-round pick. Certainly, he's biased, having referred to Landry as "the brother I never had."
In Beckham's opinion, scouts ought to focus less on Landry's 40-time and more on game tape. They'll see Landry hold on to a pass over the middle at Georgia after making the catch between three defenders and getting hit so hard his helmet flew off. Or they can see a critical drive-extending catch against Arkansas in which he hurdled horizontally over the shoulder of a defender to somehow steal away a potential interception.
"He's one of the best, if not the best receiver in this draft," Beckham said of Landry. "A lot of people knock him for his speed, but you don't run the 40 in the game. You don't run shuttles. ... You're playing football and he's one of the best football players I've ever stepped on a field with.

Sunday September 23, 2012
METZ,: Defending champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France overcame a slow start to beat Jesse Levine 6-3, 6-4 on Friday and reach the Moselle Open semi-finals.
The first five games were tightly contested and took 35 minutes to complete, with the American saving seven break points before the top-seeded Tsonga broke back and held for 3-2.
"I had to be fully focused because Jesse was in good shape," Tsonga said. "I'm happy with how I played and happy to reach the semifinals, even though I'm still making a few mistakes."
Levine's resistance started to crumble after that and Tsonga broke him again before wrapping up the first set with an ace. Tsonga then hit five aces in a comfortable second set where he faced no break points.
He faces eighth-seeded Nikolay Davydenko in the last four after the Russian beat Ivo Karlovic of Croatia 6-7, 7-6, 6-0.
Tsonga is looking for his second title of the year after winning in Doha in January, where he beat Gael Monfils in the final. He is eighth overall in the race to determine the eight players who will qualify for the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London.
Tsonga could potentially face Monfils again in another final today.
Monfils had earlier beaten second-seeded Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 to reach his first semi-final since February.
Making his return at the indoor tournament in Metz after several months out with a knee injury, Monfils broke Kohlschreiber for the sixth time in the match before clinching victory on serve.
"I'm feeling the strain, but I want to rise above the tiredness and the pain," Monfils said.x
The Frenchman next faces fifth-seeded Andreas Seppi of Italy, who had a more comfortable 7-5, 6-2 win against Florian Mayer of Germany.

Condemns move to postpone local body elections
United Democratic Front (UDF) convener P.P. Thankachan has said that the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government and the State Election Commission (SEC) will be the culprits if the local body elections in the State are postponed.
Inaugurating a study camp of the Seva Dal district committee here on Saturday, Mr. Thankachan said it was stipulated in the Panchayat Raj Act that new panchayat samithis should assume charge on October 2, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi.
The alleged move by the government to postpone the elections was, in fact, equal to insulting the Father of the Nation, he said. Stating that it was the inefficiency on the part of the government that it could not complete the delimitation of wards and other poll pre-requisites in time, Mr. Thankachan said this coupled with the fact that the SEC had failed to apply necessary pressure on the government had thrown affairs in the State into chaos.
Accusing the SEC of playing to the tune of the LDF, Mr. Thankachan said both the LDF and the SEC would have to admit their failure if the polls were to be postponed.
'Soft stance to BJP'
The UDF convener said the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M), in order to weaken the Congress, was adopting a soft stance towards the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and fundamentalist organisations. By doing this, the CPI(M) was destroying the secularism and sovereignty of the nation.

COLLEGE STATION - The Texas A&M men's golf team will tee off its 2012-13 campaign this weekend with a trip to the west coast to compete in the Carmel Cup at Pebble Beach, Calif.
"We're playing Pebble Beach and the Bayonet Course," Texas A&M head coach J.T. Higgins said. "Bayonet is a course that a lot of people haven't heard of, but it's one of my favorites that I've ever been to. It's a very difficult, challenging course but right on the ocean."
TCU, Texas Tech and Vanderbilt join the Aggies at the event which features an SEC/Big 12 Par 3 competition, team-vs-team medal match play and an overall individual champion.
"All of the coaches know that we're throwing ourselves in really quick," Higgins said of event format. "We didn't want to do something where we could have a terrible week and it hurt you for the rest of the week, so it's just four teams and we were fortunate enough to get invited. It's going to be a really cool trip; we're looking forward to it."
Competing for Texas A&M this weekend will be Cameron Peck, Johannes Veerman, Greg Yates, Ben Crancer, Jade Scott and Case Cochran.
Carmel Cup Schedule/Format
The weekend will begin on Friday with a late-morning practice round on Bayonet Golf Course before the venue shifts to the Pebble Beach Par 3 Course for Friday afternoon's Par 3 competition.
On Saturday, the Aggies will begin match play with a morning round on the Bayonet Course against TCU before returning to action during the afternoon with a round against Texas Tech at Pebble Beach.
The event will conclude on Sunday as Texas A&M faces its first SEC opponent as a member of the league when it duals Vanderbilt on Pebble Beach.
Medal match play will feature each school's six-member team facing off against the opposing school's players on an individual basis with a single point on the line. The total number of individual matches won and halved will carry over for each team during the entire event and the team with the most overall points will win the Carmel Cup.
An individual champion will also be named after completion of the 54-hole event.
The 2012-13 Aggies at a Glance
Returners this year include senior All-American Cameron Peck (Olympia, Wash.) as well as fellow seniors Case Cochran (Paducah, Ky.) and Drew Evans (Dallas). Also returning are juniors Ryan Kelley (The Woodlands), Jade Scott (Daingerfield) and Johannes Veerman (Sugar Land) along with sophomores Ty Dunlap (Westlake) and Greg Yates (Mansfield) and redshirt freshman Andrew Lister (San Diego, Calif.).
In addition to the nine returners, A&M welcomes a trio of talented freshmen Adria Arnaus (Barcelona, Spain), Charlie Benell (Pacific Palisades, Calif.) and Ben Crancer (Kirkwood, Mo.).

Reassessing the value of a college education
By Current State
We've all heard stories of Ph.D.'s who work as janitors or sales clerks. Increasingly, we've also heard of professionals who owe tens of thousands of dollars on their college loans and of recent college graduates unable to find work at all.
These trends are altering the long-standing conversation about the value of a college education.
According to Dr. Richard Vedder, director of the non-profit Center for College Affordability and Productivity, the trends are symptoms of a higher education "bubble" that's postponing the dreams of millions of college graduates and their families and slowing economic growth in our country.
Dr. Vedder explains his thoughts behind what he sees as college's diminishing return on investment.

PMPA member companies are engaged in making parts that require precision machining. This necessitates multiple, routine adjustments throughout a shift.
These adjustments can include changing a dulled drill bit on a screw machine or an insert on a CNC machine. It might involve redirecting a coolant line that vibrated out of place. Or, it can be adjusting the alignment of a tool multiple times to maintain the needed offset or location.
These kinds of adjustments are routine, repetitive and integral to the use of the equipment for production. They are necessary so that the parts are produced to the required precision.
This is the classic type of situation that was intended to be addressed by the exception to the Lockout Tagout (LOTO) standard 1910.147(a)(2)(ii)(B). This exception assumes the worker performs the maintenance using alternative measures that provide alternate protection. Still, many inspectors do not recognize the exception to the LOTO requirements.
According to interpretations published on the OSHA website, "…minor tool changes and adjustments, which are routine and repetitive and must be performed as an integral part of the production process, are permitted to be performed without LOTO if the work is performed using alternative measures that provide effective protection."
One form of effective protection is stopping the machine using an electric disconnect or control switch (not an energy-isolating switch). This is only allowable if the switch is: 1) designed and applied in accordance with good engineering practice; 2) controls all of the hazardous energy and is placed in the off position; and 3) is under the exclusive control of the employee performing the task.
Additional support for the exemption can be found in this quote from the Federal register Vol. 54, No. 169, Friday, September 1, 1989: "As was discussed in the preamble to the proposal, OSHA recognizes that some servicing operations must be performed with the power on; in these situations, it would not make sense to require lockout or tagout, which apply to deenergized equipment."
In summary, minor servicing or maintenance that is routine, repetitive and integral to the use of the equipment for production may be covered by alternative protection. This protection includes electric disconnect or control switches that meet the aforementioned requirements.
