Anti-fatigue Mats
What are anti-fatigue mats?
The mats are designed to reduce fatigue that is caused by standing for long periods on hard surface (e.g.,. cement floors). Fatigue-reducing mats can be made of various materials including rubber, carpeting materials, vinyl, and wood.
Why use anti-fatigue mats?
Anti-fatigue mats are often used to decrease foot weariness for workers who stand in one position for long periods. However, providing a mat may not solve the entire problem. Discomfort, tiredness, and sore feet after long hours of standing are the combined effect of several factors, namely the design of the work, the workers' footwear, and the flooring material. According to scientific data, standing for long periods of time is particularly stressful and fatiguing. Regardless of the quality of shoes and quality of the floor covering, standing itself can cause tiredness after an entire working day.
What should be considered first when a person stands all day at work?
When considering the use of anti-fatigue mats, there are other factors that should be considered at the same time, such as allowing changes in working/standing position, footwear, and flooring.
- Changes in working/standing position: Work should be organized so that the worker has some choice about his/her working position and an opportunity to change position frequently. A workplace that includes an optional seat (chair, sit/stand stool) and some kind of footrest increases the variety of body positions and encourages frequent changes between them.
- Footwear: Footwear is a factor which, if properly chosen, may further reduce the harmful effects of prolonged standing. There is no doubt that the choice of footwear is an important consideration for people who work on their feet. Shoes should ensure adequate arch and heel support and cushioning while providing comfort to the wearer.
- Flooring: The type of flooring used in the workplace has an equally important influence on comfort, especially on tender feet. Hard, unyielding floors, like concrete, are the least comfortable surface to work on. Walking on a hard floor is similar to the impact of a hammer pounding the heel at every step. Wood, cork, carpeting, or rubber - anything that provides some elasticity - is gentler on workers' feet. More than that, softer floor coverings reduce fatigue and improve safety by reducing slips and falls on slippery floors.
When should anti-fatigue mats be used?
There are two options to alleviate foot discomfort where resilient floors are not practical. One is footwear with thick insulating soles and shock-absorbing insoles.
Anti-fatigue matting is the other option. Anti-fatigue mats absorb the shock due to walking and this cushioning effect reduces foot fatigue. However, the use of matting requires caution because mats can lead to tripping and falling accidents when installed improperly.
Another type of floor covering, namely, anti-slip matting, is useful in increasing foot comfort and safety. However, workers may find that their feet burn and feel sore, because the non-slip properties of anti-slip matting cause their shoes to grab suddenly on the flooring, making their feet slide forward inside the shoes. Friction inside the shoes produces heat which creates soreness. Non-slip resilient insoles can reduce this discomfort.
In summary, the use of anti-fatigue mats or placing carpeting on the floor does not eliminate sore feet by itself, but, when combined with proper work design and quality footwear, it should improve working conditions.

Hey all,

I like the idea of this plugin and I am looking for ideas to really make it more appealing and add more functionality to it. What do you suggest?
Also, I receive comments on my portfolio but I don't get any notifications via email, how do I set that up. My support only seems slow because I don't know when a comment has been submitted.

"one of the most courageous, experimental and important happenings to engage the public in recent times…"
by Two Time World Press Award Winning Photographer, Pablo Bartholomew.

Understaffing cited in botched MCSO probes
PHOENIX -- A report examining hundreds of sex-crimes cases that were inadequately investigated or weren't looked into at all by an Arizona sheriff's office attributes the failures to understaffing and mismanagement.
The mismanagement in Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's sex-crimes squad includes hundreds of pieces of evidence that weren't put into evidence storage and instead were left in offices or taken home by detectives.
The internal affairs investigation released Monday blamed officers for some failures and noted that the sex-crimes squad was ``overworked and understaffed,'' but on Monday rescinded letters threatening to discipline the officers in question.
Arpaio apologized for the bungled cases and has since said his office has moved to clear up the inadequately investigated cases and has taken steps to prevent the problem from happening again.

ADDISON COUNTY — As lawmakers wrestle with education funding reform this winter, one idea that has gained some favor in Montpelier is ending "Small School Grants," extra funding to smaller schools that helps them keep their doors open. Gov. Peter Shumlin, for one, made that recommendation in his Jan. 15 budget address.
In recent years the Legislature has tried to address what lawmakers see as cost inefficiencies in smaller schools by passing laws to encourage unification within and between school districts.
ADDISON COUNTY — State police are investigating burglaries at the elementary schools in Starksboro and Lincoln that occurred over the long Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend in which thousands of dollars of electronics were stolen.

Powell River Kings 3 @ Victoria Grizzlies 3 (9.15.07)
W Justin Courtnall, VIC: 1-0-1, 2 PIM
Game Notes: Justin Courtnall, son of former NHL player Geoff Courtnall and nephew of former NHLer Russ Courtnall, scored his first goal of the year mid-way through the third period to lift the Victoria Grizzlies to a 3-3 tie with Powell River ... The BCHL uses ties and overtime losses in the standings ... Courtnall was whistled for interference late in the third period, but the Grizzlies were able to kill off the penalty ... Courtnall scored just five goals in 53 games last season with Burnaby (BCHL). He has one goal in two games so far this season for the 0-1-1-0 Grizzlies.
Acadie-Bathurst Titan 5 @ Lewiston MAINEiacs 3 (9.16.07)
D Michael Ward, LEW: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Game Notes: The MAINEiacs dropped their first game of the year, blowing a 3-1 second period lead to the Titan. A-B scored three times in just under two minutes in the second period to make that two goal deficit into a one goal lead. The Titan added an empty netter with nine seconds left ... Ward has not registered a point in two games this year and is looking for his first QMJHL goal.
Albert Vishnyakov had 2 penalty minutes as Spartak was shut out by Novosibirsk 3-0.
Denis Kazionov and Evgeny Artyukhin were scoreless in Novokuznetsk's 2-1 overtime win over Omsk.
Anton But scored his first goal of the season in St. Petersburg's 4-1 win over CSKA.
Different day, same results. Sunday's scrimmage ended in yet another 1-1 tie between Team Black and Team White, duplicating Saturday's result. According to Erik Erlendsson's blog, Team Black's goal came from the prospective fourth line with Nick Tarnasky getting the goal off an Andre Roy feed. Team White's goal was scored by free agent signing Michel Ouellet off a pass by Brad Richards.
Erlendsson calls out overage prospect David Schneider for a couple of positive plays in today's game. Schneider spent the past four seasons in Finland playing in the SM-liiga for TPS and HPK and was a teammate of Karri Ramo when the two won a championship in 2005-2006. Schneider was signed to anchor the Norfolk Admirals' power play and should provide some offensive spark to the Ads' attack.
Also on the positive side, today was another strong outing for the Lightning's goaltenders particularly Ramo and veteran Marc Denis. Erlendsson had Denis stopping 17 of 17 shots faced while Ramo stopped 16 of 17 including a 3-on-1 chance by Dan Jancevski.
According to Tampabaylightning.com, day one of camp scrimmages ended in a 1-1 tie between Team Black and Team White. Team White's goal was scored by winger Kyle Wanvig off assists from Brad Richards and Doug Janik while Team Black's goal was scored by Vincent Lecavalier off assists from Vaclav Prospal and Paul Ranger.
Wanvig and Janik continue to make a strong impression after good showings in camp during physical testing on Thursday and Friday. Erik Erlendsson also notes in his blog that Wanvig was displaying a strong physical presence throughout the game to go with his goal. The Lightning's top-12 forwards appeared to be set going into training camp, but Wanvig appears to be playing his way into the discussion of who will be the first forward called up at the very least.
Erlendsson notes none of the defensemen vying for the team's #6 and #7 defenseman jobs separated from the pack, and that all three goaltenders played well with wunderkind Karri Ramo stopping 16 of 16 shots faced including a penalty shot by rookie pro Mike Lundin.

It's just starting to get cold here, and yesterday I pulled up the last plants in the garden, so it's soup season. I'm making some soup of my own right now, which I'll post later this week. I found so many good soup recipes on my favorite blogs, I couldn't limit it to the four I usually share for South Beach Recipes of the Week, so there's a few bonus recipes. Enjoy!
Family Food is the food blog of Stefania, aka City Mama, who writes about entertainment on Blogher. I loved the sound of her Cuban Black Bean Soup, seasoned with cumin, coriander, and paprika, and a touch of orange, and everything in this soup is perfect for South Beachers.

Hrdel Returned to JohnstownSubmitted by pete on January 9, 2007 - 14:16
The Falcons have also announced that they have returned winger Zbynek Hrdel to Johnstown of the ECHL. Hrdel was recalled from the Chiefs when a rash of injuries hit the Falcons with Justin Keller out with a high ankle sprain, Randy Rowe out with a bad lower back and Norm Milley shelved with a broken jaw. The move likely signals that Keller or Rowe will be returning this week as Milley is projected to be out 2-4 weeks.

Karri Ramo Named to AHL All-Star TeamSubmitted by pete on January 9, 2007 - 14:12
The Springfield Falcons have announced today that goaltender Karri Ramo has been selected to appear for its PlanetUSA team at the upcoming AHL All-Star Game taking place on January 29th. Ramo is 12-9-0 this season with a 3.13 GAA, a .904 save percentage and 1 shutout. The 20 year old netminder made his NHL debut earlier this year making an appearance in relief during a brief callup against the Ottawa Senators.

Multilateralism Obama style
- By Kori SchakeKori Schake is a fellow at the Hoover Institution and contributor to Foreign Policy's Shadow Government blog.
It is such a comfort to know in a world of change, some things can still be relied upon. Like the irritating behavior of France. President Nicolas Sarkozy is reported to have refused to approve NATO military plans for operations in Libya until leaders were assembled in Paris — and then launched French aircraft sans coordination with allies.
Even with its false start, France did not get the honor of commencing operations. The United States, which the president tells us is not leading this operation, did. Of the 130 cruise missiles fired to commence operations, nearly all were American. American's flew half of the 80 air sorties yesterday. Sticker price to the American taxpayer: likely several billion dollars; it was over $100 million for the first day's missiles alone. The British are the only country that has invested enough in their own defense to have the ability to participate in the opening salvo of cruise missiles.
President Obama's plan is to have the U.S. do the initial work that had to be done fast to prevent Gaddafi overrunning Benghazi and that required precision and risk the U.S. military is uniquely proficient at, then transition the operation to command by countries that will be patrolling the skies over Libya for the indefinite future.
But there is still no agreement to whom command will be passed. British Prime Minister Cameron insists it must be NATO; Sarkozy insists not. The French defense spokesman now suggests all participating military forces should have the honor of serving under French national command. Turkish Defense Minister expressed mystification, saying "It does not seem quite possible for us to understand France's being so much at the forefront in this action." Italian Foreign Minister Frattini threatens Italy will not allow use of its bases unless it becomes a NATO operation. The French and German ambassadors walked out yesterday after criticism by the NATO Secretary General of France for unilateralism and Germany for not participating.
Turkey's Prime Minister has objected to using force against Qaddafi, and was excluded from the Paris meetings over the weekend. Yesterday the Turkish Foreign Minister said, "there is a certain procedure under international law for the formation of such coalitions. We do not believe that this procedure was sufficiently observed." It's a pretty safe bet that Turkey will veto a direct NATO role.
To their credit, the Administration was able to convince a Muslim country, Qatar, to send a token six airplanes. But they have not done appreciably better than the Bush Administration, which even without a UN Security Council resolution gathered 56 (mostly token) force contributing countries for the invasion of Iraq.
The State Department responded to questions about the dearth of Arab participation with "we believe we have Arab support…we need to let this process play out." Arab League Secretary General Amir Moussa called for a special meeting of the Arab League to discuss civilian casualties inflicted by our airstrikes. The German Foreign Minister has said the Arab League's criticism justifies Germany having abstained from supporting the U.N. resolution.
This is what comes from a lack of leadership by the United States. The medium powers squabble, and we do most of the work. Building a coalition requires a much more solid understanding of objectives, roles and responsibilities than President Obama launched this war having. The time of American leverage to work out these details was before we undertook the work France wanted to take credit for us doing and the Arab League was willing to support. Unfortunately, at that time the Obama administration remained opposed to the military operations they are now engaged in.

Technology Services recently unveiled their new web site design.
Samford University continues efforts outlined by its Identity Theft Prevention Task Force to protect University-managed sensitive information from loss. One program that assists with this process is called Data Loss Prevention, and it employs encryption technology. All employee email to other employee accounts is automatically encrypted. Encryption of email to students, alumni and non-Samford email accounts (external recipient) is not assured. However, we must ensure that all email that contains sensitive information is encrypted.
Samford University is continuing to improve its IT security posture by reducing risk. To protect University data, University-owned computers used by employees will be encrypted. The priority goes to department machines that may hold sensitive University information. Technology Services has been testing its new encryption system from WinMagic, which will manage encryption of disk storage on Windows and Mac systems, both laptop and desktop computers. Technology Services and Accounting department computers are now encrypted, and we are continuing deployment to all employee machines. We will soon begin to include encryption on all replacement computers when they are delivered.
Samford University is providing Microsoft

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
You know how the theremin, grandfather of the modern synthesizer, sounds kind of like the singing saw--an instrument as old as woodcutting? Jolie Holland's voice has that same ancient-future quality, as happily lost in the woods as in outer space. She floats so free of a beat, or even the recognizable rhythms of conversation, that calling her weird interpretations "phrasing" is like calling Jackson Pollock's paint splashes "strokes." This Texas-born singer with a mountain accent is more Björk than Billie Holiday, and more abstract than either. What few words were discernable on her 2003 debut Catalpa served mostly as suggestive clues: something about having "the shine in this world" ("the shine" in the Stephen King sense, maybe, or in the gleam of stoned eyes) and wanting to die ("I don't care how/I'm getting out").
Of course, the air of Southern mystery surrounding Holland is as calculated as the hillbillysploitation of Cold Mountain. But I'm still curious to see her in person at the 400 Bar on Saturday. Maybe because Catalpa began as a demo for friends, the circular structures and droning texture of her old-timey songs feel natural and seem original. By contrast, Holland's follow-up, a "proper" studio debut, feels more like what you'd expect from a "Norah Jones for cool people" (in the immortal shorthand of Q). Whatever shine there was before, I don't see it now. Maybe her problem is that she's made a fake-jazz album rather than a jazz-influenced fake-folk album. Or maybe I'm just being mean. However lazy Escondida is with hooks, however appalling the song "Old Fashioned Morphine," and however nondescript her ensemble chemistry (standout instrument: a singing saw), no comparisons quite do justice to the nearly-solo piano number "Damn Shame." Here, Holland is easily comprehensible. "Tell me one more time why you went away," she quavers. "It makes a little sense in the light of day." This is the kind of album that makes sense in the black of night.

Just wondering, no right or wrong answers here obviously,
My dream, like many people on this site, is to be proposed to in front of sleeping beauty's castle someday in Disneyland. It would just be so magical and wonderful that I would cry of happiness and it would be perfect.
It's not like I would say no if it were the right person, proposing anywhere else in the world
Would I be disappointed if the proposal didn't take place in Disneyland? Well, admittedly, yes :/
I hate to be one of "those" women, and I wish I could say "it doesn't matter where you propose, the person is what matters."
And while that is definitely true, it's also nice to have your dream come true if it's possible
So what do you do to make this happen without seeming like a materialistic... well, you know. ?
Do you tell the person in advance that if they propose, that's how you want it to be? Too mandating?
Do you expect them to figure it out for themselves? This seems unreasonable because people aren't mind readers.
Do you hint at the idea when you're at Disneyland?
What is the right way to do this, in your opinion, without seeming incredibly shallow, but being able to have some magic at your proposal?
p.s: not getting married anytime soon, I'm only 20. Another five, ten years and I'll probably be thinking more about this.

If the question of a possible D400 was not asked, I suggest that these guy's should be in another job - hopefully, that suggests that they did ask and we should have some good news soon! If Nikon always take note of forum questions regarding their products, then they must be aware that a D400 is a big issue!
