About the Task Force
The first meeting of the Task Force on Race and the Criminal Justice System took place on November 4, 2010, at Seattle University School of Law. The meeting was convened by the Honorable Steven C. Gonzalez, Chair of the Washington State Access to Justice Board and King County Superior Court judge, and by Robert S. Chang, Professor of Law and Director of the Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality at Seattle University School of Law.
Prompted by the remarks of two sitting justices on the Washington Supreme Court, the meeting was called to discuss racial bias in the criminal justice system in Washington state. The meeting was attended by representatives from the Washington State Bar Association Board of Governors, Washington State Access to Justice Board, the Washington State Commission on Gender and Justice, the Washington State Commission on Minority and Justice, the Loren Miller Bar Association, the Latina/o Bar Association of Washington, Washington Women Lawyers, QLaw, the Asian Bar Association of Washington, the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Washington, the Korean American Bar Association, Filipino Lawyers of Washington, the Middle Eastern Legal Association of Washington, the King County Prosecutor's Office, The Defender Association, faculty members from the three Washington law schools (Gonzaga University, Seattle University, and the University of Washington), and various community and advocacy organizations.
At the meeting, we articulated a set of goals and developed working groups to move the project forward. The first phase involves developing informational resources on racial bias in the criminal justice system. The second phase involves bringing into conversation all levels of the criminal justice system and to develop a set of recommendations to address racial bias at the systemic level. The third phase involves working to implement the recommendations. Throughout, we will develop educational projects to reach judges, the bar, law enforcement, students, and the public.
We have met three more times. The Working Groups have convened and have begun their work. Further information about the meetings can be found in Meeting Notes.
We presented our preliminary findings and recommendations to the Washington Supreme Court on March 2. The Research Working Group's Preliminary Report on Race and Washington's Criminal Justice System can be found here.

Sol Invictus 2010 Post December 28, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
2 comments
Sol Invictus == Saturnalia == Christmas, you get the idea here. Many names:
Here's the log so far:
Day 1: 12/23/2010
The holiday trip to North Carolina went well. Only took about 12 hours to drive it which in my book is a highly doable trip.
When I picked the car up I did the old sweep of the FM dial and stopped at 91.3FM, WDOM. That's the station I did three years at during the 1980's. A very fun time in my life, even though I was making next to squat at the time. It was the people I worked with, and the friends I hung out with. Anyhow they were running a rather funny comedian. His language was pretty raw. It isn't that I'm a prude but pissed because we could never say "Shit" or "Fuck" on the radio when I was there but this guy could.
We got all the way to Delaware without issue. Little Miss Navigator kept us true, avoided the George Washington bridge this time, even avoided the tour through NYC. Instead we got a brief tour through Baltimore around the U-MD Medical center. Very impressive, reminds me of the Lifespan group in Providence. The other tour was a slightly longer one through the less visitor friendly area of Washington, DC.
You'll recall from above I said we got through without issue all the way to Delaware. But going through the DelMarVa area, once we got a little bit deeper into VA or Virginia, we hit a close to 25 mile long traffic jam whose cause when we finally crept the 25 miles in over 2 hours, closer to 2 hours and 23 minutes was determined to be a rather crumpled vehicle being loaded onto a flatbed.
If you're the mathematical type, it calculates out to 5.72 minutes to the mile or 10MPH on average. The posted speed limit 65MPH signs were a cruel joke.
Speaking of speed limits I note parts of North Carolina route 17 are now posted at 70MPH! TO make up time I was doing about 85MPH. But the annoying thing is the communities around Hertford where they drop the limit down to 45MPH or so. No reason really, just because they can, and because it drives up ticket revenue.
Tolls were very reasonable, $9 in NJ, $3 and $4 and $2, so all total $18 coming down. I set Miss Navigator to avoid most tolls but it can't avoid all.
The car was a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. Decent enough vehicle but rattled quite a bit. For a car about a year old and with 38K on the odometer I'd have expected better. It rattles in a peculiar way. And the Auxilliary port is hidden under the arm-rest. That one threw me, I saw the AUX button on the radio but couldn't find the input. Something told me to open the arm-rest and sure enough in there I find a 12V port, a USB charing port, and the auxilliary input. One thing I will give Hyundai, they include satellite radio.
And on a mileage note, I burned a tank and a half of gas on the way down so it got 30MPG. I liked the Chevy Cobalt better, it got 37MPG but they're phasing those out of the rental market.
We note the major development in the area seems to be the addition of a new prison and the current construction of a new Federal court house.
Prisons and justice seem to be the biggest growth industry in the United States right now, a statistic that really concerns me greatly. We're already becoming enough of a police state that I have to worry about what I say sometimes.
But then the Italian side takes over and I'm going to say it anyway.
Day 2: 12/24/2010
In a way I kind of like this brief hiatus from the city. But I could not, I repeat, NOT live here on a full time basis. It's a pretty area. Lots of open land, pretty pine trees, and it's got that southern vibe to it. But I do not want to live here. It's just nice to visit.
The biggest withdrawal is the lack of a net connectivity. Even my phone loses all 3G services like web, email, navigation, etc. It's just voice and text down here. But it isn't a complete lack; at least my brother and sister in law have a wifi net in their place.
That is how I'm posting this, on a borrowed net connection. And a little secret, I pre-composed this in a text editor. That way I can add all the details and then just copy/paste to post.
As to how I'm dealing with the net withdrawal, I preloaded my laptop with a number of E-Books from Cory Doctorow and all the episodes of "An Idiot Abroad" and "Great British Menu"
Christmas Eve was cool! It was myself, Keyron, my MIL, BIL, and SIL and the kids of the latter. My little nephew is a little over two and he's a really sweet kid. When he sees me he puts his arms up and I picked him up. He is so adorable.
And I have admit, my nephew Kamorre is fascinated by me. Maybe it's because I play with him, or I've been told he has a fascination with facial hair. But he's cute as all hell and he has an infectious laugh. I hope he keeps that ability to laugh as he gets older.
And the night of Christmas day, the kids and the family returned to open gifts. Kamorre was captivated by the Mega Blocks we'd gotten for him, that is until he opened up the laughing monkey.
The laughing monkey is a cool toy. It laughs and rolls around on the floor at the slightest provocation. In reality the provocation is when it's light sensor is interrupted.
The girls like the nail polish sets we got them but the books seem to have fallen flat. That's ok, just having them might inspire them to read.
Day 3: 12/25/2010
Kamorre is a natural clown. He can amuse himself with a rubber bouncy ball that's nearly as big as he is.
Snow is predicted. Snow! What the hell, I leave the northeast to avoid snow and have to contend with it here!
Day 4: 12/26/2010
Yeah, there's snow on the ground, about 8 inches of the crap. We're all bunked here because in North Carolina they don't have a plethora of plows to go around and clear EVERYTHING. I'll never complain about snow removal in my city again. Yeah right.
Got everyone here, Cory and Michelle (BIL/SIL) and their three kids Janiya, Janarria, and Kamorre. Then there's my MIL and FIL.
Day 5: 12/27/2010
A little dash through the snow to get to the supermarket. It isn't bad, US 17 is clear down to pavement. But I'll say one thing, everybody is doing 10MPH. They just don't know to handle snow.
Happy Holidays December 25, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

Be it Christmas, Kwanzaa, Saturnalia, etc. I want to wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season.
This is a post I scheduled because where I'll be there isn't easy net access. Oh sure I could pay for one of those little Virgin access points, but really I can do without for a week.
So don't get upset if your comments don't get approved for a week or so.
I should also note that this marks five years since my paternal grandmother passed away. Way to go grandma, die on a day where nobody can forget because it's also one of the biggest holidays in the United States!
What a week! December 22, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

And it's only the Wednesday before the Sol Invictus celebration you all probably know as Christmas.
DADT passed the U.S. House and Senate and was signed by President Obama today.
We're seeing action on covering the first responders of the 9/11/01 event on coverage of their medical expenses.
We're seeing passage of the arms treaty.
This is an historic lame duck session for Congress. My only question is why couldn't they have shown those cojones over the past two years?
So now we'll be treated to two years of utter governmental gridlock brought to you by the Party of No (Republicans new moniker) before people come to their senses again.
Degrees of Separation December 21, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
add a comment
So I'm watching "The Universe of Keith Haring" on Netflix. And I realize I'm only one degree separated from him through two friends, both of whom have now passed away, one from AIDS complications, the other from an aggressive throat cancer.
Which means I'm only 2 degrees from the whole 80's group of artists. Isn't that interesting?
Streetcars – Can they save America's Cities December 20, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
2 comments
The entire article is here.
As to the naysayers, they didn't get rid of streetcars in the 1950's and 1960's due to lack of ridership. They did it because of a cartel called National City Lines or variants thereof.
National City Lines was a front group for General Motors, Goodyear and Standard Oil. Their mission to dismantle electrically propelled streetcar systems and replace them with diesel buses. They touted the flexibility of the bus in being able to go anywhere but they neglected to mention what is killing transit agencies these days, fuel costs.
I've previously posted my sample letter for getting 80% or higher funding for streetcar projects. If I may be so bold, I might go a step further and require General Motors to provide say 7%, Goodyear 7% and the successor of Standard Oil 7% to make up the rest.
And anyone I've spoken to has said the same thing about buses. Buses are viewed as lowest common denominator transportation. Fixed rail systems aren't viewed that way. Hell, I can tell you just my few months of riding the MBTA commuter from Providence to Boston, and then the Red Line down to Braintree, that you see a different class of people of all walks on rail than you do on buses.
The other gripe I hear about buses all the time is the necessity of transfers. For me to get to work requires two buses. Instead I walk to the bus hub and get the bus from there. But I can understand the bewilderment about Kennedy Plaza.
I'm exceedingly tempted to do a little project just to prove RIPTA wrong. I want to go out and survey residents and business owners along Broadway and on to Manton Ave. Enlist them in my army to get a streetcar line that goes where we NEED one, not one that in my opinion benefits one or two entities almost EXCLUSIVELY. Yes, I'm talking about the current Core Connector study that links Brown University to the Lifespan hospital complex on the southern side of the city.
It's ludicrous, ridiculous, and just plain wrong to build the line there.
Instead look at truly distressed areas of the city. One could say that the south side isn't' NEARLY as distressed as the Olneyville section of the city. And in RIPTA's own documentation they show the Pearl District streetcars in Portland, Oregon. The before picture is of a downtrodden, gray landscape. The after of course is bright, with lots of foliage and s streetcar running down it.
The folks at RIPTA completely miss the point of images in their own brochure!
Why the MSM is going to crater December 19, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.

The reason I'm such a web head is because you get more information that way than from any of the other mainstream media outlets.
Case in point, the anti-war protest in D.C. with 135 people arrested. They were protesting over the war in Afghanistan. And they're right, by the time we draw down it'll be over a decade and we still haven't learned what the Russians learned in the 1980's.
The Russians knew that unless they put troops on every corner in every province they'd never take Afghanistan.
And the reason we're in Afghanistan hasn't got much to do with either the Taliban or Al Qaeda but almost everything to do with a certain natural gas pipeline in the northern part of the country in addition to oil and gas interests there.
Yes boys and girls, we're running out of oil. It's the reason we've got troops in two key countries in the mid-east.
About damned time that DADT was repealed December 19, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
1 comment so far
So the U.S. Senate finally agreed on repealing the stupid policy of Don't Ask/Don't Tell. It is a policy where 13,000+ U.S. soldiers were discharged for being gay.
The McCain Repugs are understandably foaming at the mouth about this. It's their mantra as the Party of No along with their emotional, orange house leader John Boehner. And yeah, I pronounce it like BONER because you just know the 'ay' sound of the OE is sure not hot it should be prononced.
But it's too damned bad. The Lame Duck Democrats have done we LGBT people a solid here. They finally repealed a policy based on ignorance and animus toward gay people.
Now we've got to get the sign offs from the chiefs but I don't see that being too big an issue. After all other militaries around the world let openly gay people serve. It shows the idiocy of our current military leadership.
My Fifth Year of Blogging December 17, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
6 comments
Five years certainly does go by in a flash! I started out on Blogger and then made the jump here to WordPress.
It's been an interesting ride. I've managed to amuse people, educated people, and even get on some people's nerves to the point of threats of bodily harm to myself and my loved ones.
But I'm going to keep on posting, keep on telling it like it is, keep on blogging.
Reminds me, the laptop is now five years old too. It's just about time for replacement. I'm thinking a little 13″ MacBook Pro. I'm pretty much done with Windows PC's. Besides, my work computer is still on XP though they are trying to get us all upgraded to Windows 7 so my Windows skills won't suffer at all.
Belly Laugh Time: Study Confirms That Fox News Makes You Stupid December 16, 2010Posted by truthspew in Fox News, stupidity.
2 comments
You can read the whole article at the link.
Here I'll talk about a few of the findings in the article:
91 percent believe the stimulus legislation lost jobs
The reality is that it actually created jobs. I see numerous projects in my own city that benefited from the stimulus funds.
72 percent believe the health reform law will increase the deficit
That may well be, but do they ever stop to think about the multi-billion dollar spending that goes along with prosecuting a war for nearly 10 years or more? It's astronomical. Who gets rich, the stockholders of the munitions industry, that's who.
72 percent believe the economy is getting worse
I see little indicators that the economy is doing better. Like the drop in unemployment insurance claims, or the crowds of people I see at the malls lately. People are more confident so they start spending. It's that simple. I see recessions as having much to do with the psyche of the people. Fix that psyche and suddenly the economy improves.
60 percent believe climate change is not occurring
I was talking to a co-worker about this point. I asked a rhetorical question about what would it take to get these people to realize that global warming is true, for the water to be lapping at their door when they step out to go to work? To which my co-worker said "Or when Ohio is the new east coast."
49 percent believe income taxes have gone up.
Right this moment, believe it or not the rich pay the lowest amount in taxes, and the middle class too. And corporations they're the biggest offenders when it comes to tax breaks and incentives.
63 percent believe the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts
That's because 63% are idiots. Of course tax cuts were included.
56 percent believe Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout
And 56% have the memory span of the common gnat. Seriously people, it was President George W. Bush that kicked off the bailout of GM and Chrysler. Not President Obama, it was President Bush. Big difference there kids!
38 percent believe that most Republicans opposed TARP
This one gets the lowest percentage because you can't fool a Republican Fox News watcher all of the time. However those 38% need to look at what their congress critters are doing because Republicans sure as shit supported TARP. They couldn't let their election sponsors go under.
And last but not least:
63 percent believe Obama was not born in the U.S. (or that it is unclear)
President Obama most certainly WAS born in the United States of America. I cannot understand the birther attitude. It's ludicrous. Yes his father was Kenyan, but his mother was a born and bred Kansas girl and he himself was born in Hawaii. They have produced the birth certificate, they have produced news clippings from then announcing the birth of one Barack Hussein Obama, yet the birthers will still claim he wasn't born here???
It is evident that Fox is nothing but a propaganda outlet. They were never a news organization. To call them one is an affront to real news organizations.
The Rising Tide of Islamaphobia in the U.S. December 11, 2010Posted by truthspew in Uncategorized.
4 comments
I'm watching with some dismay the takeover of Europe by Islam. But I've always maintained that you'll never see the same thing happen in the U.S. because fundamentalist Christians would never stand for it.
In that vein, this week we have the news that an Islamic Relations Center had stones thrown at it, breaking windows, etc.
Just a short little article, a paragraph but the two sentences that makes me laugh are these:
The council is a non-violent social service agency and advocacy group for Muslims with branches in many major U.S. cities. It works to improve relations between Muslims and non-Muslims.
Well maybe that last. It works to improve relations between Muslims and non-Muslims? I mention this much to my chagrin but in their own book it instructs them to kill the infidel. How do they reconcile that?

Album Cover / Cover Art / Discographies « Read Less
The music discs containing these folders do not necessarily reflect my musical tastes, I decided to make this gallery as a "tribute" to those who give the music image, which from my very personal point of view many of those people are really talented, but otherwise there are also those who lack imagination or are too lazy to do something more elaborate.

"The Letter Every Chef Should Read"
I've known George Faison for 25 years or more; he was a co-founder of D'Artagnan and is now a co-owner of Debragga and Spitler, a New York meat wholesaler that's been doing business since 1924, and a main supplier to many of the city's best restaurants. This is a letter George sent late last week to a well-known chef, and one he'll be sending to others. (It's worth noting, if for no other reason than to answer the inevitable question, which I asked myself, that George doesn't only sell naturally-raised meats – he sells industrially-produced stuff as well. But he's on a campaign to persuade the chefs who insist that's what they want to change their minds, and I know he'd like to supply only the right stuff.) I've changed nothing except misspellings. ...more

What are we pushing for?
The Big Push for Midwives Campaign represents tens of thousands of people in the United States who support increasing access to Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) and out-of-hospital maternity care. CPMs provide affordable, quality, community-based care that is proven to reduce costly and preventable interventions as well as the rate of low-birth weight and premature births.
The mission of the Big Push for Midwives Campaign is to provide strategic planning and message development for state consumer and midwife groups that are actively working on legislation to license Certified Professional Midwives, envisioning the day when CPMs are licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam.
The Big Push is envisioning a new model of maternity care in America built on expanding access to out-of-hospital maternity care and Certified Professional Midwives. The United States can no longer afford a system that produces inferior results at premium costs. America needs safer and less-costly maternity care now.

Safari West
Reviewed for Third Grade, 2008
Has your child always dreamed of going on safari? With the economy tight, a trip to Africa may not be in the cards, but a trip to Sonoma may be. This wildlife preserve in the California wine country is a whopping 400 acres. Visitors pile into jeeps and hit the road for close encounters with zebras, rhinos, wildebeests, and more than a dozen varieties of African antelope. Along the way, they get an earful of fascinating animal trivia, from which animal wards off predators with their incredible stink (water bucks) to which one can go up to ten months without a sip of water (the addox). The animals aren't roaming completely free in their native habitat, so there isn't the thrill of a chance African siting. On the other hand, because they're each housed in a set location, kids won't come home from the 3-hour tour disappointed because they haven't caught a glimpse of anything. A stay in one of the imported African tent cabins is pure luxury, and the look out the tent flaps at the giraffes grazing nearby, just may be the best view out of any hotel window in the world. (Safari tour alone: Adults $65, Children 3-12 $30, Infants 1-2 $10; Overnight stay in a tent cabin starts at $230 per night, including breakfast.)

I'm pretty certain he was 85 when he died.
No, eppyjr63, we have to blame someone, anyone, for Sandusky's actions. Victims, lawyers, and the media generally prefer to blame entities with the deepest pockets and those that stand to lose the most, respectively. 50 years ago this case would have begun with Sandusky and ended with Sandusky. But now, it is Penn State's fault that Sandusky was born.
Something that is being grossly overlooked here, is that these calls for death penalties and sanctions are very pre-mature. Everyone is assuming that Penn State's top officials are guilty.
Don't expect Graham Spanier to show up with Joe Amendola to present his defense. Spanier is a wealthy man. He will bring in the best attorney that money can buy and they will blow the McQueary testimony full of holes. Even the jury in the Sandusky trial didn't consider his story.
What is going to happen to the media frenzy and all of this death penalty talk if Curley, Schultz, and Spanier can convince a jury that they were not aware of the most dsiturbing allegations, and therefore reacted the way that they did? This is their defense and I imagine they are sticking with it.
The death penalty does nothing but punish the innocent. It punishes the student body, the student athletes, Bill O'Brien and his family, the alumni, the fans, etc. etc. etc.
The criminal justice system will take care of the few who may be guilty beyond the rotten bastard Sandusky. Unfortunately we live in a society where we have to find others to blame for Sandusky's actions. Interestingly, the blame always seems go toward those with the deepest pockets and the most to lose.
The death penalty would only punish the innocent.
The "Death Penalty" does nothing but punish the innocent. Let the criminal justice system punish the few who may be guilty of a cover-up to the fullest extent, but why punish the 99.999999999% of good people of Penn State who had nothing to do with any of this hurtful, sickening, embarrassing mess? Why punish the student athletes, coach O'Brien and his family, the student body, the faculty, the alumni, and the fans?
The Nittany Nation has been dragged through the mud for the past eight months and will continue to be criticized for years to come. For anyone who bleeds blue & white, it has been punishing all along. Any penalties should be directed at those who committed the crimes, not the innocent faithful.
He forgot to mention the part about how he accepted money from the Second Mile during his campaign and investigation, and then rewarded them with a large grant after he was elected. Knowing full well that it was the Second Mile that was lacking institutional control and that 90% of Sandusky's molestations took place in Sandusky's home, and that Sandusky "used" Penn State to help draw more boys into his web, Corbett placed the focus on Penn State to make them the demons and to take the attention away from his own money and power-driven tactics.
Yes. He was spotted in Prague with Ray Gricar. Great theory and good detective work, detective.
Now I remember where I've seen that throwing motion before!
Matt just needs to get the ball to his receivers on time. That ball needs to be out before they make their breaks. In the Blue/White game he got picked because he held the ball for several seconds and then tried to throw a long "out." It was easy pickin's. He made a similar throw and got picked in the end zone against Iowa last year. He held the ball and stared down the receiver. Everyone in the stadium knew he shouldn't have attempted it. But, of course, after the game. Matt said it was a good pass.
He just needs to continue to mature and play within his ability.
Cleland is an idiot?? Really? He appears to be an experienced, distinguished gentleman who is going to work swiftly and is not going to turn this into a media circus. As for the jurors, do you really want to find people who have no ties to TV, newspaper, internet, or any kind of media outlet and zero knowledge of Penn State or Jerry Sandusky? People who have been living in a cave for the past eight months?
Sandusky is a doomed man because his creepy, perverted, calculated, predator life will be exposed. The media was and is way more interested in bringing down the university and Joe Paterno. Sandusky was always secondary to the big story about the "Penn State scandal." It was never the "Sandusky scandal" to them.
No way he gets off. Whether you are a Penn State loyalist, a Paterno loyalist, or both. This is the guy that destroyed the reputation of Penn State, Joe Paterno and others, and alledgedly, damaged the lives of 10 kids.
If anyone wants to vent anger over all of the destruction, and take a big step toward healing, they must remove Sandusky from the court room three weeks from now in hand-cuffs and remove him from society for life.
It was reported last week that 65% of the federal budget goes to entitlement spending. YES!
Jake Fagnano at strong safety? I thought Amos would be at safety and Thomas at the corner.
You still don't have it. He said "with the benefit of hindsight..." ...meaning that if he had known then what EVERYONE else knows NOW, he also would have done more.
So it's possible that there are perverts on other college campuses and in other towns besides State College?
This woman has a child that is 98% dependent upon her. He can't walk or talk, can't feed himself or use the bathroom by himself and you are calling her boring. Is there something wrong with you? Seriously, there is something wrong with you. Grow the hell up.
I guess being the president and lone member of the Jay Paterno fan club leaves you blinded by the fact that PSU has never had any success in recruiting the Chicago area. That is Michigan and Notre Dame territory. It makes much better sense to recruit Philadelphia (Williams).
Besides, Jay was never considered to be a great recruiter. You are stuck in the past. Get over it.
Hill doesn't play "nose" tackle. He plays left or right tackle in a 4-3 defense. Just to be clear...

3 Fast Ways To Avoid OSHA Fines At Your Facility
Jul 28, 2015

Received A Violation? Two Tips To Improve Safety Compliance
Jul 23, 2015
After you've had a fall or accident at your facility, a cited safety violation (whether in-house or from OSHA) adds extra sting to an already-distressing situation. Yet, a safety compliance breach is also a learning opportunity to uncover where your facility or work site stands to improve in terms of employee safety.
3 Steps To More Effective In-House (And OSHA) Compliance
Jul 21, 2015
Running your facility keeps you busy enough without the increasing number of workplace safety goals mandated from the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and your corporate headquarters. So, how do you strike the balance between ensuring your next safety audit goes well and actually keeping your workers safe in day-to-day operations?
Truck Fall Protection - Flatbeds
Feb 03, 2014
Flatbed truck drivers have a dangerous job. Not only do they drive on America's highways everyday regardless of weather conditions, some of their other job duties are just as dangerous.

Top 10 Reasons Loading Arms are Better than Hoses

While there will be times when hoses are the best tool for the job, loading arms are often the preferred method for safely loading and unloading product as it pertains to the operator and the environment.
Purchasing a Chemical Feed System
Jul 18, 2013
Chemical feed systems have to be extremely precise as well as safe to operate – after all your employees are working with chemicals and many of those chemicals can be extremely dangerous when not handled properly. Also, the system is feeding one product into another to create a new product that needs to be of the highest quality.
Hydraulic Fracturing – Setting Rules and Regulations for Safer Processes

Chemical Blending, Mixing, and Transfer Skids Custom Designed for Superior Job Performance and Safet

Fall Prevention Beats Fall Arrest Every Time

Fall prevention is important for several reasons, the first being that it will prevent a fall that can lead to death. That's pretty darn important. But even if a worker avoids death from a fall, there are injuries that can kill later.
Fuel Transloading Terminal Must Meet Stringent Safety Standards

Transloading fuels is a tricky business that can become deadly in a matter of seconds if your workers don't have the proper setup or training.
Rail Loading Racks Provide Workers with Safer Access
May 24, 2013

Fall prevention equipment that meets OSHA, industry, and local safety standards is required for any type of work that takes place at elevations four feet or higher – that includes loading/offloading rail cars.
Transloading Safely To and From Tanker Trucks
May 22, 2013
There are several instances in which trucks will be used to carry crude oil and other fuels or fluids to a different location. Tanker trucks usually get oil from storage tanks and take it to a loading terminal to transload the fuel into railcars. Depending on the distance to the refinery or pipeline connection, the tank truck may be able to take the shipment the entire way. However, if the drive will be a long one, it is more cost effective to do things the old-fashioned way and transload the product onto railcars.
Four Types Of Structural Equipment That Enhance On The Job Safety
May 21, 2013
Structural equipment is designed to be strong enough to withstand outdoor use regardless of weather. It will also enhance job safety for your company's operators by providing fall prevention and in the case of canopies, protection from the weather.
Transloading Crude Oil from Tanker Truck to Rail Car
May 16, 2013
Transloading is the term used for the process that takes place when a shipment must be transferred from one mode of transportation to another. Transloading is often used in the oil industry because the pipelines to the refineries are in the south so if the well head is somewhere else in the country, the oil has to travel there. Transloading takes place when one type of transportation can't make the entire journey or it may be more cost effective to transfer the shipment from one mode to another. Usually product (in this scenario it's crude oil) is transloaded from tank trucks into about 120 connected railcars. Using railcars to carry product may sound old fashioned but it's still the most consistently effective way to transport lots of products including crude oil.

Biofuels – An Excellent Alternative Energy Source
May 08, 2013
One of the great things about biofuels is that they don't possess the level of greenhouse gases that fossil fuels do. They're also attractive because they can help the US meet some of its energy needs that are currently being supplied by foreign countries. Domestic supply is certainly preferable as it can supply more jobs for Americans.
Packaged Skid Mounted Loading Systems Solve Many Safety Issues
May 08, 2013
Skid mounted loading systems have lots of plusses. They're ideal for use with hazardous chemicals because they ensure safe handling and accuracy in measuring product due to their excellent filtration, pumps, valves, grounding, accurate metering and more.

May 06, 2013
Diesel Exhaust Fluid, also referred to as DEF, is a clear, non-flammable liquid made using a solution of 32.5% high-purity urea in 67.5% de-mineralized water. DEF is non-hazardous and is neither a fuel nor a fuel additive. If Diesel Exhaust Fluid comes into contact with skin or clothing, no worries, it can be washed off with water. The urea used in DEF is created synthetically from ammonia and carbon dioxide (CO2) and is often found in products we use every day including cosmetics, hair conditioner, and adhesives.
Skid or Transloader Which Should You Choose for Fluid Transfer?
May 03, 2013
Fluid handling is a dangerous business. Your system operators really have to know what they are doing when loading and offloading chemicals, crude oil, liquefied natural gas and other fluids.
Hoses or Loading Arms – What Works Best?
Apr 23, 2013
There's more than one way to achieve a desired end result. Sometimes methods are employed because of history, budgets, purpose, preference, and/or safety. When loading and unloading tanker trucks and rail cars there's more than one way to move product, too.
