Carbon monoxide deaths from propane heaters: carbon monoxide risks from camping heaters can turn a fun outing into a deadly ordeal. When tragedy strikes, plaintiff attorneys must ensure that manufacturers are held accountable.
As the coworker gave Charlie the heater, he said in a joking manner, "Don't die in my tent." After another worker used the heater for about an hour to warm his tent, Charlie took the Focus 15 heater into his tent and went to sleep. He was found dead in the morning from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
This may sound like a difficult products liability case, but such cases are winnable. After eight days of trial and less than three hours of jury deliberation, an Oregon jury found the heater manufacturer--the Coleman Co.--negligent and strictly liable with no contributory fault attributed to Charlie. An Oregon appellate court upheld the wrongful death verdict. (1)
Since the 1970s, several companies have manufactured and sold propane radiant camping heaters. There are two types: bulk mount models that attach to 20-pound propane cylinders (as used with barbeque grills), and smaller models that use disposable 16.4-ounce propane bottles.
The heaters are not expensive--selling for around $40--and are prominently displayed and sold in camping stores. To an uninformed camping public, they look like the ideal solution for heating a tent, camper, or hunting or ice-fishing shack. For the most part, the heaters carry no warning that users could die from carbon monoxide poisoning if the heaters were used in an enclosed area.
Coleman heaters
Most propane heater litigation has been against Coleman. (2) The company entered the market in the mid-1980s, when other manufacturers were already producing similar products. For reasons discussed later, the heaters made by other manufacturers have not had a large number of CO incidents. But Coleman, which sells more camping products than other manufacturers, has become, by a large margin, the industry leader in CO deaths.
The company's Focus heaters had numerical designations indicating their maximum heat output. For instance, the Focus 5 produced a maximum of 5,000 British thermal units (Btu) of heat, and the Focus 15 produced a maximum of 15,000 Btu. The lowest Btu models--the Focus 3, 5, and 10--used disposable 16.4-ounce propane bottles. Larger models--the Focus 12 (sold only in Canada), 15, and 30--were bulk-mount heaters.
Even though Coleman sold the Focus 15 and 30 as camping heaters, the company maintained they were "outdoor heaters" and not to be taken into tents and campers. This presents an interesting question: Why does a camper need a heater only to heat the great outdoors? A campfire does that. A camper needs a heater to heat a tent or camper for sleeping after extinguishing the fire.
Another puzzler: Warnings on the heaters required "adequate ventilation" for any inside safe use. As Coleman instructs, to safely use a heater inside a tent or camper, windows or tent flaps must be open, which obviously lets in cold air, defeating the purpose of using the heater.
After selling more than a million Focus heaters, Coleman discontinued selling them in 1996. It sold a redesigned camping heater, called the Focus 15B, for less than two years, and the company launched a new line of heaters, called Powermates, in 1996. Although the Powermates were similar in function and design to the Focus bulk-mount heaters, Coleman promoted and sold them as "industrial heaters." (3) Until 2004, Coleman manufactured and sold the Powermates in 12,000-, 15,000-, 17,000-, and 45,000-Btu models. The Powermates present the same hazards to campers as the Focus heaters.
The first Coleman heater deaths were recorded in the early 1990s. In 1991, six campers--two adults and four children--in Massachusetts died while sleeping in a tent where a small Focus 5 propane heater was running. (4)
Coleman has not recalled its propane heaters, even though they have been connected to more than 65 deaths and at least 10 injuries caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. (5) Of this group, 18 deaths were related to the company's Powermate models.
The Powermate deaths have been occurring at a faster rate than the Focus deaths for the number of Powermates sold. Coleman discloses in discovery that over a million radiant heaters have been sold and remain in the hands of consumers. With no recall in sight, the CO deaths will certainly continue.
Carbon monoxide deaths from camping equipment have troubled the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for years. (6) The CPSC has obtained the voluntary cooperation of four manufacturers to conduct recalls of their propane heaters. (7) Unfortunately, Coleman has never agreed to a voluntary recall, and the CPSC has never forced it to issue one.
On several occasions, the CPSC has issued reports and memoranda to the industry, including Coleman, with recommendations for warnings on portable camping heaters. (8) Carbon monoxide hazard warnings have been emphasized. Coleman ignored these recommendations and continued to sell its bulk-mount Focus and Powermate heaters with no CO warnings.
In 1996, human-factors experts at the CPSC published a memo, which Coleman received, that said, "There were 35 deaths and 8 injuries (nonfatal outcomes) from carbon monoxide poisoning from camping heaters reported in 23 CPSC in-depth investigations from 1990-1995." (9) This memo was highly critical of the type of language Coleman used in its warnings.
At least twice, Coleman engineers and in-house attorneys have attended meetings called by the CPSC to discuss warning deficiencies and changes in industry standards for propane camping heaters. Minutes of a 1994 CGA/ANSI Z21 joint subcommittee meeting attended by two of Coleman's lead engineers reported a "consensus" (at least tacitly indicating Coleman's agreement) for a revised warning that stated: "WARNING. This product can produce CO. CO has no odor and can kill you. See owner's manual for instructions." (10)
Twice, the CPSC initiated investigations of carbon monoxide deaths linked to Coleman heaters. It launched the first in 1992 after the deaths of the six Massachusetts campers. Under pressure from the CPSC, Coleman added a screen filter to the Focus 5 and altered that product's warning language to specify the CO hazard. These changes, in addition to some limited warnings published in camping magazines, satisfied the CPSC, which dropped the investigation in 1993. The company did not change the warnings on its other Focus heater models to warn of the CO hazard.
The second CPSC investigation started in 1999 after reported CO deaths from Coleman's Model 5014, the 15,000-Btu Powermate heater. The initial agency notice to Coleman in November 1999 stated, "The CPSC staff is concerned about the potential hazard of CO poisoning which could result from the use of these heaters in confined spaces such as garages, basements, campers, tents, etc., without adequate air circulation." (11)
The commission's engineering branch conducted a series of emission tests of the Powermate 5014. The results support claims that the Powermates, contrary to Coleman's assertions, produce deadly amounts of CO when used in enclosed spaces. (12)
An interesting part of this investigation dealt with the heaters' packaging. Although Coleman consistently contends that the Powermates are "industrial" and "outdoor" heaters, the cardboard box the heaters were sold in shows a person with rolled-up sleeves inside a building working on a vehicle with the hood up and a Powermate positioned nearby.
In a footnote in a January 2002 notice, the CPSC reminded Coleman, "As we discussed during our November 10, 1999, meeting, some Coleman heater shipping cartons show the product being used indoors. During that meeting Coleman agreed to revise the shipping cartons and eliminated [sic] references to indoor use." (13) Until Powermate production ceased in 2004, Coleman apparently never changed the packaging.
Although the Consumer Product Safety Act (14) was adopted for consumer protection, the work and reports of the CPSC have only limited use in civil litigation. Federal regulations prohibit depositions of CPSC personnel unless expressly authorized by the commission's general counsel. (15) Using a Freedom of Information Act request, attorneys may obtain certified copies of CPSC documents for civil trial use. (16)
At trial, plaintiff lawyers should expect the defense to raise a hearsay objection to the documents. But there is good authority (though not unanimous) that CPSC-certified documents fall within the business and public records exceptions to the hearsay rule. (17) Even if the documents are not admissible, expert witnesses can rely on them, (18) and plaintiff attorneys can use them to effectively cross-examine Coleman witnesses.
Liability theories
The first step to success in a case involving carbon monoxide poisoning from a camping heater is developing the product liability theories with the assistance of qualified experts.
Defective design. When a propane heater is operated in a confined space, the heater depletes the amount of oxygen in the air (from 20.9 percent in air at sea level) to dangerous percentages in the mid- to low teens, while it produces progressively higher levels of CO. Both effects will put campers to sleep, as the CO binds to the campers' hemoglobin and prevents the transfer of oxygen in red blood cells, producing a deadly condition called hypoxia. The amount of CO consumed can be measured by screening for carboxyhemoglobin in the blood of CO-poisoning victims.
A safety device called an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) has been used on heaters in Europe for decades and in this country since 1982. (19)
One of the author's engineering experts has successfully adapted and tested ODS systems on Coleman heaters. Experts can testify that adding an ODS would increase the retail price of the heaters by only $18 to $20 per unit.
Another viable design-defect theory involves an automatic "flameout" characteristic designed into competing manufacturers' heaters. Documents produced in Coleman litigation reveal that when the company was developing its heaters, as early as 1982, it tested competitors' products. This testing showed that competitors' heaters had a built-in safety feature that would shut down, or "flame out," the unit when it was used in an enclosed area before deadly amounts of CO were produced. (20) Expert analysis has shown that the competitors' heaters will flame out when the oxygen levels decline and the built-in thermocouple cools down and shuts off the propane supply.
In depositions, Coleman engineers have acknowledged that they never explored why competitors' heaters flame out. (21) Coleman ignored its own testing and instead marketed thousands of camping heaters without this safety feature.
Claims targeting the Focus 5 heaters are based on a different design-defect theory. In most instances, a Focus 5 will not produce large quantities of CO when run in a test chamber. However, contamination entering the heater can alter the air-propane mixture that the heater burns to generate the radiant heat. This disruption of the propane flow causes the heater to unexpectedly generate huge quantities of CO from incomplete combustion. (22)
The Focus 5 heaters, sold from 1985 to 1992, had unprotected openings that could allow dirt, bugs, or other contamination to enter and alter the propane flow. Results of tests performed by Coleman's former chief engineer, Randy May, in 1993 provide devastating evidence that the company knew that reduced propane-flow pressure, such as caused by contamination, will produce deadly amounts of CO. (23)
Although Coleman added a screen-type filter to the Focus 5 to prevent contamination after the 1992 CPSC investigation, half a million Focus 5 heaters purchased before the design change are becoming increasingly dangerous as they age and become more contaminated.
Failure to warn. Depositions reveal that chief engineer Randy May, who had no human-factors training or outside human-factors assistance, was solely responsible for creating the warning language on the Focus heaters. (24) He has testified that he believes the wording and design of the warnings are superior to ANSI's warning recommendations.
Human-factors experts testifying in cases against Coleman have criticized the warnings on both the Focus and Powermate heaters for failing to identify the CO hazard, its consequences, and how to escape the hazard. (25) With the exception of the Focus 5 after 1992, the Coleman warnings never used the precise words "carbon monoxide" to identify this deadly hazard.
The warnings also use the ambiguous term "adequate ventilation" to describe how much fresh air campers need to ensure their safety. Most courts will allow the jury to determine whether a better warning could have prevented the incident. (26)
In some Focus and Powermate cases, American and Canadian industry standards can be helpful in proving the deficiency of Coleman's warnings. The company acknowledges that in the design of the smaller Focus and Powermate heaters, with a maximum 12,000 Btu, it attempted to comply with ANSI and Canadian industry standards. (27) Both standards recommend the use of warnings about the amounts of ventilation needed and set maximum safe CO output levels.
Coleman heaters clearly do not meet these standards. The Canadian standard requires that "a heater shall produce negligible carbon monoxide." (28) If a plaintiff expert can testify that a person in a tent or camper died from CO levels in excess of 1,500 parts per million (PPM), Coleman can hardly argue that this was "negligible carbon monoxide."
Standards for heaters larger than 12,000 Bm are not as clear. The only applicable standard appears to be Canadian, and it applies to all infrared heaters up to and including 400,000 Btu. Again, this standard recommends that warnings include language about specific amounts of fresh air openings, which Coleman did not follow. (29)
Despite Coleman's clear record of ignoring consumer safety, the path to recovery is not easy for plaintiffs. Coleman, like many large manufacturers, has taken a strong defense position in every case, forcing plaintiff lawyers to go the extra mile in preparing and presenting their cases. The company makes several specious defense claims.
Users are negligent. The company claims that its heaters are well-designed and have appropriate warnings and that negligent consumers use their products in a manner contrary to the warnings and instructions.
Coleman maintains, with no solid support, that the general public is well aware of the carbon monoxide risk posed by fuel-burning products. The company typically deposes the victim's friends and family to find support for its claim that the victim knew of the risk, ignored the clear warnings, and was therefore primarily at fault for his or her own death or injury.
Coleman attempted to gain support for this defense by having one of its experts conduct a consumer survey. Gerald Goldhaber, then a communications professor at the State University of New York, Buffalo, set up a research study in March 2002 at two different camping shows. A total of 1,005 attendees looked at and handled a Focus 15 and answered a questionnaire.
The survey's results are actually helpful to plaintiffs in debunking Coleman's claims that consumers are aware of its heaters' CO risk. The survey report reveals that 27.9 percent of the respondents "would think it would be safe to use this heater in a tent," 37.9 percent "would think it would be safe to use this heater in a camper," and 45 percent "would think it would be safe to use this heater in an enclosed fish house made of plywood." (30)
Alternative designs are not feasible. Coleman argues that ODS technology cannot be adapted to its heaters. The existence of other ODS-equipped heaters on the market and the testimony of qualified expertwitnesses can overcome this claim.
For example, in 1982, Coleman tested a Valor unvented room heater, equipped with an ODS. The tests showed that the ODS functioned as intended and shut the heater down as oxygen in the test chamber dropped to the 18 percent range--before CO reached dangerous levels. (31)
In depositions, Coleman engineers have acknowledged that, since the Valor tests were conducted, the company has never attempted to adapt an ODS to any Focus or Powermate heater. (32) The company contends that its radiant heaters operate at high pressure and are not compatible with a low-pressure ODS.
Plaintiff experts can respond that the pressure differential can easily be adjusted with a readily available commercial regulator. In 2000, Mr. Heater Corp., the industry leader in selling propane radiant heaters, began selling a safe indoor camping heater equipped with an ODS. Since then, several other manufacturers have introduced camping heaters with an ODS.
Until recently, Coleman contended that no manufacturer has sold an outdoor bulk-mount heater equipped with an ODS. Coleman argues that wind will blow out the ODS, making the device unsuitable for use on an outdoor heater.
Again, this claim can be easily refuted. Thousands of Italian-made bulk-mount heaters equipped with an ODS have been sold in the United States since 1995, and many more have been sold in Europe. A deposition of the vice president of merchandising for the U.S. distributor of the Italian heater confirms that there have been no reported malfunctions of the ODS, from wind or otherwise, and no reported CO-related deaths or injuries. (33)
Pamphlet warns of CO risk. In 1996, Coleman became involved in an industry group called the Coalition for Portable Radiant Heater Safety. The coalition prepared a CO warning pamphlet. This coalition pamphlet has been included in the packaging for Coleman Powermate heaters since 1997. When unfolded, the pamphlet presents a colorful and impressive carbon monoxide warning with an image of a skull and crossbones.
Coleman often refers to this pamphlet in its Powermate defenses. When carefully analyzed, the pamphlet can be discounted. It folds up to a 3-by-5 inch brochure that is similar to a lot of peripheral advertising that consumers routinely discard when opening a product's packaging. Also, the pamphlet's title--"Camp Safe, Camp Smart"--directly contradicts Coleman's claim that Powermates are industrial, not camping, heaters.
Prior incidents are not similar to the plaintiff's. In any heater litigation, a critical issue becomes what prior incidents of CO death and injury will be admissible as being of "substantial similarity." (34) Coleman routinely argues that every factual difference--such as tent size, temperature, wind, and alcohol or drug use by the victims--dictates that the incidents are not substantially similar.
But the better logic, is that the "mechanism of injury" is essentially the same in every case. That is, a Coleman heater used inside an enclosed space without adequate ventilation--be it in a tent, a camper, or a hunting or ice-fishing shack--results in dangerous amounts of CO sufficient to kill people. The admission before the jury of a history of deaths and injuries, with no product recall, should entitle the plaintiff to seek punitive damages in states still allowing punitives.
Coleman has shown no signs of conceding the danger of its heaters and accepting responsibility for the deaths and injuries they cause. With no recall in sight, these heaters--sadly--will continue to generate products liability wrongful death and injury cases for years to come.

Bus to Move: Bus Cameras for New York City
This legislation will speed service for millions of New York City bus riders by authorizing the New York City Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to operate bus lane enforcement cameras on 50 miles of designated routes. If approved, the enforcement cameras will be both stationary and mounted to the front of buses and will take photos of the license plates of drivers who are either parking in or illegally driving in a bus lane. Some driving is permitted in bus lanes, but only for turning movements. The fine for parking or driving in a bus lane will be in accordance to the City's fine schedule, but is not to exceed $115. Summonses for bus lane violations are not pointcarrying offenses. Cameras are only permitted for use within bus lanes, featuring clear signage and road markings for drivers.

Trusting God When Life Knocks You Down
It's Good for Us
It's Good for Us
"Holding onto grudges is self-deception," writes Sheryl Giesbrecht, author of Get Back Up: Trusting God When Life Knocks You Down. "We believe we can control situations by refusing to let go. This doesn't damage the person we are 'begrudging' as much as it damages us. Max Lucado said, 'Grudges are the cocaine of anger, they require more and more hate to keep it alive.' Resentments are like a cancer. They multiply and intrude on our mental health, relationships, and sound sleep. That kind of holding on can become an addiction."

LA schools avert 3,700 layoffs with federal funds
LOS ANGELES - LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Unified School District says it has more than halved the number of layoffs slated for June 30 with the help of federal stimulus funds and an early retirement program.
Superintendent Ramon Cortines said Friday that about 2,000 teachers and 260 support personnel are set to lose their jobs at the end of the academic year. That figure is down from the 5,971 workers who were sent layoff notices in March.
Cortines notes that the district, the nation's second largest, still faces a $131 million budget shortfall for this school year due to the failure of state budget referendums earlier this week.
The layoffs do not include nearly 2,900 administrators who got pink slips but have "bumping rights," which means they'll go back to teaching because they have tenure.

Court tosses part of Conn. campaign funding law
HARTFORD, Conn. A federal appeals court ruling on Tuesday threw out part of Connecticut's public campaign financing law and further handicapped the concept of giving extra money to publicly funded candidates who are outspent by well-financed opponents.
The complex ruling could affect the state's current election season, where the Aug. 10 primary is looming and many statewide and legislative candidates already have received public financing under the voluntary Citizens Election Program.
"We'll proceed on all fronts as quickly as possible and do everything we can to protect the program," said Beth Rotman, the program's executive director.
In two decisions released Tuesday, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld higher thresholds for third-party candidates who attempt to qualify for public funds and a ban on political contributions from state contractors.
But it struck down bans on campaign contributions from lobbyists and their families and agreed with the lower court that candidates who participate in the program should not automatically receive extra public funds once their opponent spends or raises more than what the publicly funded candidate is allowed to spend.
Tuesday's ruling against the supplemental funds comes a little more than a month after the U.S. Supreme Court derailed the part of Arizona's campaign finance system that provided additional money to publicly funded candidates who are outspent by privately funded opponents or targeted by independent groups.
The high court said it would prevent Arizona from using its matching system at least until the justices decide whether they will rule on whether the payments are constitutional.
Republican Gov. Jan Brewer has asked the trial judge in the Arizona case to permit her and other publicly funded candidates to collect private contributions to replace the public matching money they won't get. Advocacy groups and a privately funded rival candidate oppose Brewer's request.
"The First Amendment requires matching funds to be struck down," said Nick Dranias of the Arizona-based Goldwater Institute and the lead attorney in the lawsuit against Arizona's matching funds provision. "Political speech by one candidate cannot be silenced by the threat of government campaign subsidies to the opposing candidate."
Jeff Patch, communications director for the Virginia-based Center for Competitive Politics, which opposes public financing of campaigns, said Tuesday's ruling was "incredibly important." It comes as similar laws are being challenged in Wisconsin and Florida, where an opponent's campaign spending and fundraising can automatically trigger extra funds for a publicly funded candidate, he said.
"There's litigation going on in at least two states on it and other programs are sure to be challenged based on this decision," Patch said. He believes the Connecticut ruling means the U.S. Supreme Court is more likely to take up the issue.
In 2008, the high court overturned the so-called millionaire's amendment in the federal McCain-Feingold campaign finance law, which raised the limits on contributions to congressional candidates if their opponent spent more than $350,000 of personal funds on their campaign.
Some advocates of public financing said they believe Connecticut and other states should now come up with alternatives to the automatic supplemental funds.

WMG: Aveyond
That bunny Mel sent Stella? It's a part of a race of demonic rabbitsThey are black, have very bright red eyes, and multiply very quickly.
A character from a previous game will make an appearanceMel is revealed to have evil powers. Any character in this series will evil powers ends up abusing them and being corrupted by them, so naturally, it will take nothing short of a Deus ex Machina to save her. On top of that, this is the perfect place in the series to start making references to itself! So, said Deus ex Machina will be...a character from a previous game! It makes perfect sense!
That new girl in TDP, Uma, is Nox.Something is fishy here... She looks almost exactly like Nox, but with white hair. Then again, we never know what is Nox's true hair color since she's always cloaked in shadow. Also, the name Uma means luminous, while Nox means darkness. So Uma is either Nox, or an opposite entity. Either way Uma is directly related to Nox. She is, as she is her sister)
Edward Cullen is the lovechild of Galahad and Stella, getting relationship advice from Gyendal.He's an angsty vampire who refuses to feed on humans like Galahad, a butterfly like Stella, and learned how to be a creepy stalker from Gyendal. Hey, don't look at me, blame the forums.
Lars VIII... is a lie! The epilogue is narrated by Mel, not an omniscient narrator, so she could darn well be lying to cover up the truth, whatever it is. Lars VIII never appeared even once in the game, so there's no way to confirm his existence other than Word of God. Dear lord, this thread is not good for my sanity.
Nox ends up with Edward and Stella's son. Think about it. It will be glorious!
Gyendal will return in a later game.Sure, he was shot in the chest and thrown into the demon realm, but we never saw the corpse.

Sweet Child o' Mine
With a guitar lick that makes many people want to learn it, Axl Rose's unique vocals, a steady base line and drum track, and just three chords wrapping it all up, the song has become a rock anthem. It was the band's only track on the billboard charts. The lyrics were inspired by a love letter Axl Rose wrote to his then girlfriend and present wife Erin Everley. Oh! And Slash's lead leaves you speechless!

(LAS VEGAS, NV) -- With numerous high profile hosting events to her credit in Las Vegas and other cities, Nikki Phoenix (http://Twitter.com/@NikkiPhoenixxx) has reached another highlight in her career, beginning work on her first music release in her favorite music genre, Electronic Dance Music. The collaborative effort will be a joint effort with renown EDM DJ DJ Nilsson (http://Twitter.com/@DJNilsson), who is the Resident DJ for legendary Las Vegas hotspots Xs, Tryst and Drai's. Director/Producer/Promoter Miles Long® (http://Twitter.com/@MilesLong4real), who's close connections to the entertainment and music scene in Las Vegas made the union possible, thought the pair would make an amazing music making team.
"Nikki has already hosted numerous major events in Las Vegas at well known venues, and she has a great voice, as well as a true passion for EDM just as I do." Said DJ Nilsson, "After talking with my good friend award winning director and producer Miles Long®, we thought it would be a great idea to have her do the vocals on my next release, and we've already begun work on the track. We're looking forward to debuting the first song during the AVN weekend in January!"

"My first job out after graduating from college was as a Club Promoter for the now Legendary Sound Factory San Francisco, so to say that I have a passion for EDM is an understatement," Said Miles Long, "I've grown up with it and it is truly part of my life. My good friend DJ Nilsson, is one of my favorite DJs anywhere, not only because of the amazing vibe he brings to a room when he spins, but also because he shares a deep love of EDM and has a passion for creating it himself."
It has been a busy year for Phoenix, with appearances not only in Mainstream Movies such as "21 and Over" and Television including the "Maury Show" but also her appearances and interviews being a spokesmodel for Twala Intimates, a high end Lingerie Company based in Seattle, and Crimestopper Security Products; where she is the voice for their flagship Fs-99 Fortress Alarm. These have all given her mainstream exposure that has helped her straddle the fence between the mainstream and adult worlds. In addition, her book "Fit as a Phoenix" has just been finished and documents her unique approach to health and fitness, her weight loss as well as her recipes for cooking healthy meals to go along with one's workout schedule.
In conjunction with that, her interviews with both Sssh.com and Xcitement magazine have both come out this month. Both articles document her women, health and sex positive outlook on life, as well as her journey and experiences in both Mainstream and Adult.
"We were delighted to have Nikki on as a guest for our ongoing series of interviews with women from all realms of the adult entertainment industry." Says Angie Rowntree, publisher for Sssh.com. " She's just a breath of fresh air and we absolutely Love her views on sexuality, health and sex-positive advocacy. We'll be sure to have her back on our series as soon as her next book comes out!"

Post subject: CD booklet
hi everybody,
1. i want to make a cd booklet (12cmx12cm) and print it as it should be printed on an A4 paper.
i created a page style 12x12 and made layout of all pages seperatedly.
now, i have problems printing it. if i mention brochure in the print menu, first printed the left pages and then the right pages (my printer does not support duplex printing), but somehow the text is expanded to A5 and does not match the cd size.
2. Second is there no possibility to have corner marks on an A4 while printing a cd page or A5 in portrait ?
any help would be welcome.

I think you are likely to go insane before you get OOo to help you with this.
You can search this forum for many discussions and alternatives to doing this kind of project, but I doubt you will find anything that will be really pleasant to use.
I think the brochure printing idea will never work; it just isn't designed for non-standard page sizes.
You can of course do what you need manually, which is what I do for CD covers, but I stick to one folded page: outside and inside. I put everything in a frame, so I can position it easily on the page.

Thank you for your reply. i posted this question also on the neooffice support forum and i got a link to this site :
so eventually i get to the following solution :
I use one document based on the template suggested above.
i use linked text frames to make sure that my text is on the right page in my booklet.
i have 6 A4 pages.
on page 1 : booklet page 12 and 1 style CDTITLE
on page 2 : booklet page 2 and 11 style CDBODY
on page 3 : booklet page 10 and 3
on page 4 : booklet page 4 and 9
on page 5 : booklet page 8 and 5
on page 6 : booklet page 6 and 7
i created 10 text frames . i named them according to the pages 2-11 in my booklet.
i linked them, page2 with page3, etc.
for me this works. maybe there's a more simple solution, if so , tell me.
in the near future i plan to create some of those templates for 4, 8, 12, 16,20,24 pages and put them available on the web. Maybe it should be interesting to have more such templates available.
and i must admit that the brochure/prospectus option in the print menu is very handy for A5 / A4 combinations, but not for other page formats. it simply does not work on other formats.

I'm a long way from this sort of thing, but from what I've see nover the years wouldn't a desktop publishing program be more suitable to your needs? I do have on hand a free [for home use] program called Ragtime 5. They have cancelled that in favour of a beta 6 version. Worth a look at least, but possible a large new learning curve.

Sure, that seems like a good way to go at it.
I have seen people report that they ran into "bugs" with some linked frames, of which I don't recall there was any resolution (or substantiation). You may want to dummy something up and test it before depending on it for a larger project.
Myself, I prefer to keep the working document as 'normal' as possible, so I simply set the page size (this is for booklet-type projects, not 2-page CD inserts), work with the document normally (pages in normal order), print to a Postscript file and post-process that to rearrange the pages for duplexing and printing. The downside is that the (free, Linux/Unix) tools for doing this ("impositions" in printing lingo) are very hard to use.
BTW, what kind of material are you putting on the CD that it needs such a long booklet? A couple hundred mp3s perhaps?

[little off topic]
No mp3s, i use the cd format 12x12cm to create a booklet for my 3th child baptism (?) on September 2 this year.
for my first child birth/baptism i used the simple A4 format together with OOo (i think it was 1.0)
for my second child i used an A5 format (together with 1.4) and i used then the brochure without any problem.
and now i want to use OOo 2.02 and a cd format 12x12cm.
Level up the challenge
I've heard in the neooffice forum that the trick should be to create a page format on the printer side. maybe i will look that up.
Are there problems with linked text frames ? Record that, i will try it anyway.
i can create a book of more than 100 pages with graphics and footnotes with OOo, why can't i create a simple CD booklet of 6 A4 pages ? i know scribus, but why should i download such an overhead if i can do this with OOo ?

If you can get the page size and format you want, perhaps ClickBook might help arrange the output for your printer:
This works with any text or editing software---anything that you could print. It's a virtual printer that acts as a layer between the document file and the printer file, to rearrange files according to the desired output, and even combine different file types into a single book.
It has several format options to choose from, and will work with standard or custom page sizes. I believe you can also create your own output format, but I'm not sure because I've never needed to. It's not free but is relatively inexpensive (about $50 USD).
(I'm a ClickBook customer, not affiliated in any other way with the software or its company. Just offering this as a possible option.)

Hi all,
(it is always interesting for others to post the solution)
In Format-Page define a page that is 12 by 12cm
Create your booklet with the pages in the order 1,2,3,4,...,12
In File-Printer Settings... define a custom page size that is 12 cm h by 12cm length,
then select this new page size before clicking OK.
In File-Print select brochure printing.
This came from a solution given by a member of the neooffice forum.
i didn't manage to create a 24x12cm on the fedora machine till now , but it's not important, i can print it on neo. And the solution of the linked textframes ? interesting, but not usable.
thanks to everybody.

Since around the middle of the twentieth century, when more and more women began to seek careers, American culture, particularly in the workplace, has had to evolve and expand to accommodate this change. While it once was assumed that practically every employee with children had a spouse and that they (wife) handled all the "family stuff" during the workday and when said employee (husband) was on the road, now allowances for maternity leave, time-off to attend PTA meetings, school plays, etc. had to be made. It seems somewhat ironic that they've mostly, if not exclusively, been made with respect to womens' schedules. Apparently it is still assumed, though they are now every bit the career person their spouse is, that women are the ones who must handle all of the aforementioned "family stuff". At least, this appears to be the case on college campuses, according to a recent study.
There are many problems with the apparently common practice of making more allowances for women as parents than are made for men and I only have the time and space to get into a few of them, unfortunately. While this policy was clearly intended as a way to allow women to have the requisite career flexibility to have both children and profession, is this not still sexist? Does it not make an extremely broad generalization about all male/female relationships and the responsibilities and gender-based assignments that were common a century ago? I am sure it gets even more complicated in the case of female/female partnerships and male/male partnerships where children are involved.
Apparently, one of the problems with changing this all-too-common policy is that men generally tend to find it much more difficult to admit to being unhappy with their work/home balance. It seems that, traditionally, it is not nearly as acceptable for men to complain about spending too much time at work and not enough caring for and spending time with their family. There is the older male faculty to consider, for starters. Those who might come from a different generation and whose mother more likely was a homemaker and whose father worked six days a week. Those who would not really understand the plight of their younger male counterpart, and this could discourage a younger man to complain or communicate any sort of displeasure with this policy until he has tenure. Often, men in the employ of a college or university might even try to put off having children until they have achieved this level of career stability, making it easier for them to balance their career schedule and their family schedule with greater confidence and control. Those still trying to get tenure are much less likely to ask for time off for any reason, for fear of doing anything at all that might jeopardize their chances at this desirable, almost necessary, status at a university. It should be noted, too, that this can be much more difficult for a woman to do and is just one more way in which this policy is detrimental to both men and women.
I think it's time we, as a society, respect and recognize both parents in any given family as responsible for the raising of their children and afford them equal benefits and opportunities not just for employment but of employment. Without either gender having to admit displeasure with the terms of their employment or work/home balance when surveyed, each person should be afforded the option to occasionally tailor their schedule based upon their responsibilities as parents without worrying it might cost them their career.

More than a year after their controversial ad suggested that financial aid officials were profiting at the expense of student borrowers, MyRichUncle's in-your-face marketing tactics have again caused an uproar among college officials. The ads in question, ones recently found in The New York Times and USA Today, portray a split head—no brains—with the slogan, "I didn't use my brain, I went straight to the financial aid office," reported The Chronicle of Higher Education.
After MyRichUncle's initial ad ran, an investigation into college financial aid offices led to revelations that numerous colleges were receiving money to advertise select student lenders on their official preferred-lender lists. Since then administrators at a number of colleges and universities were forced to resign. Frustrated at the prospect of more accusations and worried that the self-serving actions of a few would come to represent the general view of college representatives, financial aid officials are fuming about the new ads.
To find what MyRichUncle could tell me that financial aid officials couldn't, I visited the student lender's site. Expecting to see federal student aid definitions or information about college scholarships and grants under their "Financial Aid 101" heading, I instead found that I needed to download the latest flash player to see further results. Information about company loans was, of course, much easier to navigate.

It would seem there are a substantial number of students in California that are relying on local community colleges to provide them with the education they need. Fortunately for them, nearly all of California's community colleges are willing to dip into their reserves to enroll these unfunded students. Still, though, many of these schools have waiting lists in the thousands as the price of higher education rises and there just aren't enough paid-for chairs to go around.
Of course, this also raises the issue of whether the number of students being added to the classrooms will have a detrimental impact on the quality of education students can expect to receive at one of these colleges. For example, College of the Sequoias has increased their average class size by about 20% (from 26 to 31 students per class) in addition to using almost $2 million from its reserves to accommodate some students who would probably have had to wait until next year (perhaps longer) to enter college otherwise and whose prospects of employment would not have been very good, either.
With unemployment as high as 18% in the surrounding region, College of the Sequoias' president Bill Scroggins feels it is his duty to do all he can to make sure as many of these folks as possible have the opportunity to receive a post-secondary education. In Mt. San Jacinto College's immediate surroundings the unemployment rate is at 15% and, consequently, more than 25% of its students are unfunded. While these schools have not yet furloughed faculty or cut their pay, many other budgetary cuts have been made, such as eliminating travel and conference budgets. Clearly these are short-term solutions and a more permanent solution will need to be found, but at least some of the unfunded students are being taken-in and given an opportunity to get the education they will need in order to work toward their desired career.
Apparently, while California's economy is running at a high deficit, there are these small bastions of efficient colleges who managed to put away some of their assets for a few years' worth of rainy days. Hopefully the economy that surrounds them will turn around before their reserves are depleted and the would-be students in the surrounding communities find themselves entirely dependent upon state and federal funding.
May 28, 2008
Weighed down by an economic downturn and a cut in federal subsidies, student lenders have been lining up at the FFEL exit sign for months. But if the past two days are a sign of what's to come, many are reconsidering their departure. On Wednesday, Margaret Spellings sent a letter to numerous student lenders pledging the Department of the Treasury's support in helping them get back on their feet.
According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Department of Education's plan to purchase loans student lenders have trouble selling had three student lenders declaring their plans to return within two days. Though the funds are meant to be a temporary, one-year solution to the student loan crunch, the decision was enough to convince NorthStar, the Brazos Group and Graduate Leverage to return to the FFEL program.
"Many details still need to be worked out, and we will share those as they become available. But the good news is we're back in the federal student loan business, and students and families will have more loan options for the upcoming year," stated NorthStar's Chief Executive Taige Thornton on the company website.
The security now provided by the federal government may be enough to lure more FFEL student lenders back into the business. It may also prove incentive enough for student lenders to relax the increasingly tight criteria used to judge potential borrowers. While the credit crunch is certainly not over, the current federal aid contributions may prove sufficient in convincing some, if not most, lenders to return to the workforce.

Limiting the amount of money you borrow is a basic principle of good money management. College students who are able to finance their education through federal student loans, are fortunate to have access to low interest rate educational funding that puts earning a degree within their reach.
However, just because money is available to borrow does not necessarily mean that you should borrow it. If you are eligible for more student loan money than you really need, you may want to limit the amount you borrow. After all, even though the interest on a federal student loan tends to be lower than on other types of debt, it is still debt.
Additionally, you shouldn't stop looking for scholarship resources just because you are able to access student loans. If you can get a scholarship to cover some of your expenses, you can reduce the amount of money you need to borrow and will ultimately have to repay. Many scholarship programs are available only to upper division students, so you should definitely keep your eyes open for funding opportunities even after you enroll in college.

There are lots of 2011 recap lists circulating the Internet but the one you are about to read comes from a different perspective: a college student's! There were many interesting events that occurred this year that involved colleges – here's to the lessons we've learned this year...and the lessons ahead of us!
Occupy Wall Street: This nationwide protest had great appeal to college students, who have expressed their frustrations at rising tuition costs and the amount of debt students are accruing. Students participated in walkouts in November to express their unity with the movement and also faced off with police. (I'm sure no one will forget the UC Davis pepper spraying photo and its viral impact any time soon.)
Controversy: Controversy has swept colleges by storm in the latter half of this year with scandals occurring at both Penn State and Syracuse University. While these stories raised many concerns amongst parents and students, it also increased the sense of community and unity amongst the students at these schools and beyond. This was illustrated best by a building on the Penn State campus sporting an adaptation of their classic "We are Penn State!" chant: Following the controversy surrounding the football program, the building now reads "We are still Penn State!" showing that despite recent incidents, students are still proud to be Nittany Lions.
Achievements: College students around the country - including you! - have been accomplishing great things all year long. Whether it was passing a tough class, being awarded a scholarship or scoring an amazing internship, the things you've achieved this year contributed to the overall scope of college life in 2011. Surely, your accomplishments will continue on and play a role in making 2012 a happy, healthy, successful year for us all.
Have something to add? Let us know which events were important on your campus this year!

Like most things in New York City, her life and college experience is far from typical – she commutes to school from her home in Flushing and took nearly a semester's worth of classes online – but she still likes to hang out with friends, go to parties and feed her social networking addiction like your "average" college student.

Whether it is gas, food or tuition, prices are rising on everything. Everyone wants to attend their dream college without having to end up in debt at the end. College tuition will, depending on your university, have a small increase in price every academic year but if you plan ahead and follow these helpful tips, you can ease that financial burden.
First, open a savings account at your local bank to learn how to manage your money. Banks such as Fifth Third offer students goal setter savings accounts, which allow students to put money into the bank to gain interest as well as receive a 10-percent bonus when they reach their goal. A goal can be $500 and up and you cannot make withdrawal until the goal is met. This feature allows the money to grow without allowing you to give in to temptation and drain the account.
Another way to save is by adjusting your meal plan each semester. Most colleges and universities require that all freshmen have a meal plan each semester and upperclassmen usually have some sort of meal plan whether they live on campus or off. Meal plans are packaged with room and board and can become very expensive. Instead of choosing the meal plan with the most meals per day, choose a meal plan that works for your appetite.
Finally, consider applying to be a resident assistant, or RA, in the university dorms. RAs have to take on a lot of responsibilities like mentoring students and enforcing residence hall policies in addition to a full class schedule but the tradeoff is well worth it: Room and board is free.
Though she moved from Fremont, Calif., to Chicago at the age of 5, Brittni Fitzgerald will always remember the sun and fun of California life. She is the youngest of six children and is currently attending Chicago State University. There, Brittni is an accounting major and an active member of the Student Government Association but also a published poet (in 8th grade, her work was published with the Illinois's 2004 "Celebrate! Young Poets Speak Out"). Brittni enjoys running, swimming, dancing, singing and shopping. Her motto is "Live Life Loud."

The student librarian or the math tutor in the tutoring center at your university may be one of the thousands of students involved in the Federal Work Study program.
The U.S. Department of Education explains that the Federal Work Study program involves universities assigning college students part-time jobs in their institutions or through private employers. The income may be minimum wage or higher (it depends on the work the student is doing) and the income goes toward the students' college expenses. For example, the recipient can have the funds go directly toward tuition or books.
Students can apply for the Federal Work Study program (or FWS or Work-Study) annually by filing a FAFSA. The FAFSA asks an array of questions, the answers of which determine the amount of federal financial aid the applicant can receive. Within the application, it asks the applicant if they would like to be considered for the Work-Study program.
Students may apply for work-study annually. Also, students who are in high school should ask colleges they are interested in if they have a work-study program. Work-study program is a big time commitment but it's a great way to defray the ever-growing cost of college.
Carly Gerber is majoring in journalism at Columbia College Chicago. She loves fashion and hopes to cover the topic for a Chicago-area magazine. In her free time, she focuses on her blog, loves making jewelry and spending time on Pinterest and Pose. She hopes to use this blog to guide and relate to its followers: college students like herself!

According to the Buffalo News, there has been a decrease in the amount of students who receive their undergraduate degree in four years. Fewer than half of the University at Buffalo graduates graduated in four years and many other universities have seen the same decrease in their students graduating in that once-traditional timeframe. For example, Niagara University had only 60 percent of its students graduate in four years, while Alfred University only had 43 percent of its graduates graduate in four years. These statistics aren't just exclusive to New York State, either: I personally know students from all over who have taken an extra semester or two to graduate.
My circumstances of being a transfer student and a student who has changed her major more times than she can count have caused me to extend my stay at college by a few semesters. Initially, I felt guilt, regret, sadness and self-loathing for needing to spend extra time at college; however, I wanted to feel excited for the future and those negative emotions were only going to hold me back from my full potential. Now, I'm feeling excitement, urgency and passion to take my college career seriously and to become a proud and successful graduate. I feel more mature and wiser because of my setbacks and changes during my time at college.

Austin Lockard, charged in connection with the death of a 21-year-old man last August, was indicted by the grand jury Tuesday on one count of vehicular homicide, one count of reckless homicide and two counts of failure to render aid.
Lockard failed to appear for arraignment in a hearing following the grand jury indictment Tuesday afternoon, and consequently, he is being sought by authorities. His next court appearance is set for Jan. 8.
The state contends that Lockard left Bradley Joe Durham, 21, of Fayetteville on the side of Highway 110 to die after Durham was ejected from Lockard's moving vehicle on Sunday evening, Aug. 19.

In addition to the LM3S9B92 microcontroller's integrated 256K of Flash memory and 96K of SRAM, the Single Board Computer Intelligent Display reference design offers extended board-level memories including 8MB SDRAM connected via the External Peripheral Interface on the LM3S9B92 microcontroller, 1MB of external Serial Flash, USB Host connector for external mass storage, and a MicroSD card slot for image, data and code storage. The design also features I2S Audio CODEC with power amplifier to drive an external 8 ohm speaker. The board is powered by a terminal block connection to a wide input range 12-40Vdc power supply with auxiliary 5V power output.
A Single-Board Computer – Loaded with Free StellarisWare Software
The software for the Single-Board Computer Intelligent Display Module includes the royalty-free StellarisWare Library suite, including the StellarisWare Graphics Library, StellarisWare USB Library, and StellarisWare Peripheral Driver Library. The libraries provide an easy C/C++ applications programming interface that generates graphical elements for the IDM, eases point-to-point connectivity using worldwide serial interface standards, and controls the peripherals found on the LM3S9B92 microcontroller, respectively. Perhaps even more enticing is that the library is completely stored in factory-programmed ROM on the LM3S9B92 microcontroller. In addition, the StellarisWare Library suite includes programming support for the IEC 60730 standard, especially useful for manufacturers of household appliances, including washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, and cookers/stoves. The software support also includes a board support package that provides software drivers for the touch screen, the SD Card interface, the relay output, the sound capability, in-system programming support, and the analog inputs.
The LM3S9B92 microcontroller used in the IDM-SBC reference design features the StellarisWare Bootloader in preprogrammed ROM, allowing users to download code to flash memory for firmware updates through a serial interface, such as UART, I2C, SSI, Ethernet, CAN, or USB. Other memory-saving options preprogrammed in ROM include cryptography and error detection with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) tables (covers all three key sizes: 128, 192, 256 bits) and the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) function.
The Single-board Computer Intelligent Display Reference Design Kit (RDK-IDM) includes the IDM-SBC board, a CAT5 cable for Ethernet interconnectivity, a USB stick, 8 ohm speaker, universal power supply, a debug adaptor that allows connection to the 10-pin JTAG interface on the board with a standard 20-pin ARM JTAG debugger, and CD containing all the module design information, including schematics, BOM, Gerber files, software source code, and documentation. All of the reference design information is openly available, NRE- and royalty-free, for use and modification on any Stellaris-based design.

Django Unchained promises to be a one of the most talked about movies of 2012, even though it is only released a week before the end of the year. Christoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx and Leo DiCaprio will star in Tarantino's southern western and now the first images have been released of the cast in full 1800′s regalia.
We get to see Foxx as Django and Waltz as Dr. King Schultz, with the story consisting of Schultz's Bounty Hunter/Dentist teaching Foxx's freed slave how to kick some ass. DiCaprio plays Calvin Candie who is keeping Django's wife as his slave at the Candie Land brothel. Sounds like perfect Tarantino. You can see the images below. Enjoy.
As you can see it look's extremely stylised and Tarantino has always had a knack for showing off his unique perspective of history and it's going to be very fun to see DiCaprio playing a villain. It promises to be a movie you can't miss out on.
