Record Keeping, Review and Update of the Laboratory Safety Plan
1. Record Keeping
Exposure evaluation
Any records of exposure evaluation carried out by individual departments (including continuous monitoring systems) will be kept within the department and also sent to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety. Results of exposure evaluations carried out by DEHS will be kept by DEHS and sent to the affected department. Raw data will be kept for one year and
summary data for the term of employment plus 30 years.
Medical consultation and examination
Results of medical consultations and examinations will be kept by the treating physician for a length of time specified by the appropriate medical records standard. This time will be at least the term of employment plus 30 years as required by OSHA.
Historically, individual employee training has been recorded on form BA 725A (see Appendix M) and kept in the individual's department or college for five years. More recently, web-based training and many in-person training sessions for employees are tracked electronically in the university's PeopleSoft system. The records must include the name and title of the trainer, the trainee, the date and the content of training. Training records for laboratory volunteers must also be maintained for at least five years. Hard copy and/or electronic forms must be available in the event of an audit by the University Audit Department or state or county regulators.
Fume hood monitoring
Data on annual fume hood monitoring will be kept in the Department of Environmental Health and Safety Office. Fume hood monitoring data are considered maintenance records and as such the raw data will be kept for one year and summary data for 5 years.
Laboratory audits and reports
Research Safety Officers must coordinate and/or conduct formal audits of laboratories in their sphere of responsibility at least annually. A checklist is available in Appendix G, and a template report form is available in Appendix P. Checklists and reports should be kept for at least 5 years.
Accident investigation reports
Research Safety Officers work with PIs and researchers to complete the Accident Investigation Form in Appendix N. Reports should be kept for at least 5 years.
2. Review and Update of Laboratory Safety Plan
On an annual basis, this Laboratory Safety Plan will be reviewed and evaluated for effectiveness by the Department of Environmental Health and Safety and updated as necessary. Any changes in the Laboratory Safety Plan will be transmitted to college and departmental research safety officers, who are responsible for carrying out a similar review and modification of their plans, and submitting a revised copy to the Chemical Hygiene Officer.

Two Detroit teens arrested in Scioto drug case on Wednesday
PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Two Detroit teenagers were arrested Wednesday afternoon in a drug case, according to a news release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Troopers stopped a 2012 Chevrolet Impala on U.S. 23 in the Rosemount area at 3:14 p.m. Wednesday for traffic violations. Troopers searched the vehicle and found 150 30-milligram oxycodone pills with a street value of $4,500, according to the release.
Dalana B. Boggon, 18, and Jermal L. Cannon, 18, both of Detroit, were charged with possession of drugs. While Bogggon was cited into court and released Cannon, was transported to the Scioto County Jail.

The Royals crashed to a 3-0 defeat at home, and had striker Pavel Pogrebnyak sent off with 35 minutes remaining.
Wigan's Arouna Kone scored twice in two minutes just before half-time and Maynor Figueroa extended the lead before Reading's Russian striker was shown a straight red card for a foul on the same player.
However McDermott felt an infringement in the lead-up to Kone's first goal, and Phil Dowd's decision to dismiss Pogrebnyak were unjust.
"There was a handball, an absolute nailed-on handball, then their guy headed it in," said McDermott of the first goal.
"The second goal was a poor one from our point of view. They got the third, then Pavel got sent off so obviously it was a bad day.
"With Pavel's sending off, the referee feels it was a poor tackle, that's his decision. Having said that, we have had a bad day, we cannot say that Wigan were not the better side.
"He's made a choice, he thinks it was a dangerous tackle, Pavel's just dangled a leg there and caught him. The referee thinks it was a red card, that it was a dangerous tackle. I know Pavel Pogrebnyak, he is not a dangerous player whatsoever."

NBC's Big Adventure: 'Pee-wee' Actress E.G. Daily Auditions For 'The Voice'
This week, original recipe "Voice" coaches Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green returned to the panel after a season-long hiatus. But on Tuesday, there was another familiar face on the show: E.G. "Dottie" Daily.
You may not recognize E.G. Daily's name. But if you ever entered a movie theater (or rolled up to a drive-in) in the mid-'80s, or if you've switched on basic cable in the decades since, then you definitely know this lady.
Yes, she was Dottie, the sweet bicycle-shop salesgirl with an unrequited crush on Pee Wee in "Pee-wee Herman's Big Adventure."
She was also Loryn, the sexy mall-rat sidekick in "Valley Girl."
She also performed in the cult-classic high school comedies "Better Off Dead" and "Summer School."
She even starred alongside Diane Lane in the rock flicks "Streets of Fire" and "Ladies & Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains," and had a song on the "Breakfast Club" soundtrack. Basically, E.G. rocked the silver screen in the '80s. And judging from her "Voice" audition of Faith Hill's "Breathe," she still rocks, albeit now on the small screen. (Lamentably, E.G. didn't sing the "Pee-wee"-popularized "Tequila" or Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl," but her audition was still, to lapse into some Valleyspeak, totally rad.)

What Happens When Justice Fails?
By editor
Defense attorneys recently argued that the men convicted of a 1985 murder should be exonerated or given a new trial. Patrice Gaines reported on the crime, and had doubts about the police version. Years later, she re-investigated and talks about the case with host Michel Martin. Advisory: This segment may not be comfortable for some listeners.

Team effort helps UT down BG 33-14 to retain Peace PipeWritten by Mike Bauman | | email@example.com
After digging first quarter holes in their first four home games of the 2010 season, the Rockets came out guns blazing in their Nov. 17 matchup on ESPN2 and flipped the script on arch-rival Bowling Green at the Glass Bowl as they jumped out to an early 19-0 lead en route to their 33-14 victory over the Falcons.
"I'm very, very proud of the way we started playing this football game," Toledo head coach Tim Beckman said. "We played 60 minutes of football. It's not about Tim Beckman. It's about the Toledo Rocket football program, and I can't be more proud of the way those guys played today."
A big reason why Toledo was able to bring the Peace Pipe back to campus for the first time since 2006 was due to the playmaking abilities of junior running back Adonis Thomas. The 5-10, 175-lb. product from Newark, N.J. finished with a career-high 235 yards of total offense and one touchdown, also a team season-high individually. Thomas had a career-best 163 yards on 24 carries, also catching five passes for 72 yards.
"I feel relieved," Thomas said as he answered postgame questions with the Peace Pipe trophy at the podium. "If you can't be on every cylinder for this game, I don't know what you're playing for."
The Rockets outgained Bowling Green 537-254 in total offense as the Toledo defense stifled any sort of offensive rhythm for the Falcons, allowing just 35 rushing yards on 23 carries while forcing four turnovers. In 2009, fellow Mid-American Conference member Ohio was tied for first in the nation with Texas for turnovers gained and made it to the MAC championship game. Beckman and his staff took note of that stat, and it's been a point of emphasis for the Toledo defense this season. The Rockets entered the Glass Bowl on Nov. 17 tied for sixth in the country in turnovers gained with 26.
"We've harped on that since last January," sophomore defensive end and Perrysburg graduate T.J. Fatinikun said of getting turnovers. Fatinikun finished the game with six tackles, including a half sack and a forced fumble. "It only made it so much better for us to come out there each game understanding that we have to take the ball away to at least be successful."
The 75th meeting between UT and B.G. in the annual battle of I-75 was just the second career start for redshirt freshman quarterback Terrance Owens, but his second-consecutive start in the absence of injured sophomore quarterback Austin Dantin, who is out until at least after the regular season finale Nov. 27 against Central Michigan due to a shoulder injury. The Cleveland Glenville product finished 16-of-25 for 225 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.
"As he progresses through the seasons and through the games, he's going to get himself better and better each week," Beckman said of Owens. "He's got great talent."
Another sparkplug on the Toledo offense was sophomore wide receiver and Springfield graduate Eric Page. Page led all receivers with 111 yards on nine catches with one touchdown, also passing for another score on his 35-yard toss to junior wide receiver Tim Cortazzo at the 7:14 mark of the first quarter which put the Rockets up 19-0. With the performance, Page now ranks in sixth place in career pass reception yardage at Toledo with 2,113 thus far.
"Eric just makes plays," Beckman said. "When we need a play to be made, Eric seems to make those plays."
The Rockets are now 7-4 overall with a 6-1 MAC record after the win, while Bowling Green fell to 2-9 with a 1-6 mark in conference play. Toledo's 19-point victory over the Falcons was its' largest in the rivalry since 2000, when it defeated Bowling Green 51-17. Of all the positives that came out of this game for the Rockets, perhaps the biggest is that they are now one step closer to securing a bowl bid if they take down the Chippewas (2-5, 3-8 MAC) next week.
Several representatives from the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl were on hand for the triumph over the Falcons, a good indication of their interest in Toledo being a strong candidate to participate in the Dec. 26 contest at Ford Field.

Scientists Try to Figure Out Why Dolphin Died in Brooklyn
It'll probably take several weeks before anyone knows exactly why a dolphin swam up a polluted canal in New York City.
The dolphin died Friday evening, hours after it was first spotted in the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn.
Experts say the animal was probably very sick before it swam into the canal.
But until the end, they held out hope that it might swim back out to the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 20 miles away.
"The option that gave the animal the best chance for a positive outcome was waiting," said Robert DiGiovanni, the executive director of the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation, in an interview with Reuters news service.
But as it turned out, the waiting was for naught.
Some people got angry, saying that the dolphin might have been saved had the Riverhead people or the police department tried to rescue it.
But according to DiGiovanni, that probably would have done more harm than good.
He told the New York Times that the capture would have been so stressful that the process itself could have killed the animal.
"In many cases where there is a (sick or injured) animal and we intervene, they die as soon we get them on the stretcher," he said.
And unfortunately, even if the rescue were successful, DiGiovanni says that animals that are that sick often beach themselves somewhere else, as soon as they're freed.
According to the Times, the dolphin was an older male.
It was approximately seven feet long and reportedly weighed 345 pounds.
On Sunday, the folks at the Riverhead Foundation planned to perform a necropsy on the dolphin.

FAQ on EASIEST (Electronic Accounting System in Excise and Service Tax)
What is assessee code and is it different from Registration number, "ECC" code and "STC"?
They are all one and the same. The assessee code is a 15-character identification number allotted by the system to the assessee based on the PAN number or temporary number (if PAN is not submitted) when the registration details are entered in the Central Server. The 15-character assessee code will be available in the registration certificate issued to the assessee by the Assistant Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner of the Division. Assessee code is same as Registration Number, "ECC" code, and "STC".
What is Location Code? How does one get it? What are Commissionerate code, Division code and Range Code?
Location Code is a six digit code, the first two of which represents the Commissionerate, the second two represents the Division of that Commissionerate and the last two digits represents the Range in the Division. It is very important to fill up the location code properly for correct accounting of the taxes paid. The location code can be obtained from the jurisdictional Range Officer or by using the facility "Know Your Location Code" provided in website http://exciseandservicetax.nic.in
If the PAN based registration number is not available in the Banker's database, What should be done? Who should be contacted?
The Banks are required to download the Master Directories of the Registered Assessees from NSDL. NSDL is responsible for downloading the database from CBEC at regular intervals and making it available to banks. NSDL updates their database daily. The Banks should update their directories from the NSDL site, which will solve the problem.
To verify the availability of the Registration Number in CBEC database, the utility 'Print GAR7 challan' provided @ http://sermon.nic.in or https://exciseandservicetax.nic.in/gar7.jsp can be used. This utility serves the dual purpose of confirming the availability of the Registration details in department's database and generation of an error-free GAR-7 challan for the taxpayer.
My Range / Division Officer has confirmed the availability of my Registration Number in the CBEC database. Yet, the Banks are not accepting my payment, as the same is not in their database. What should I do?
Bank branches have been instructed not to accept payment if the 15 digit Registration code is not there on the GAR 7 challan. Specific instructions have been issued to Banks not to reject any challan based on non-availability of Registration details in their database and in such cases they should follow the procedure as laid down by the RBI for all Agency Banks in their Notification dated 15.01.2008 (RBI/2007-08/225 DGBA.GAD.No. H 7633 /41.07.006/2007-08) which is reproduced below:
Data quality in Electronic Accounting System in Central Excise & Service Tax (EASIEST)
It has been brought to our notice that the quality of data reported under EASIEST continues to be poor. Approximately, 45% of the challans do not bear any assessee code. It may please be noted that indication of assessee code and location code in the G.A.R.7 challan by the tax payer has since been made mandatory. Banks are, therefore, advised that no payment of Central Excise & Service Tax should be accepted by bank branches unless the assessee code of the tax-payer is quoted on the G.A.R.7 challan. At the time of acceptance of the challans, the authorised bank branches should, therefore, ensure that the 15 digit/character valid assessee code is quoted by the tax-payer in the challan.
3. With effect from January 22, 2008, RT 51 and 58 records pertaining to challans with cheque tender date greater than January 22, 2008 will be accepted at NSDL central system only with a structurally valid assessee code. The banks participating in EASIEST should download the incremental assessee code directory which is updated on the EASIEST website on a fortnightly basis. The same can also be accessed by your link cell. NSDL has also provided an internet based feature for verification of the assessee code on the NSDL-CBEC website (https://cbec.nsdl.com). The tax-payer can also get details of the assessee code by clicking on 'Know Your Assessee Code' from the website http://exciseandservicetax.nic.in. Further, the facility of downloading and printing the G.A.R. 7 Challan available on the website http://exciseandservicetax.nic.in may be given wide publicity through your designated branches.
I don't have a PAN based registration, but I want to make a payment towards my old arrears. Can I make the payment without having to get myself registered?
It is necessary to get a registered code number from the Central Excise/Service Tax Department for making any payment. Please contact the jurisdictional Assistant Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner, for issue of code number.
How will a non-assessee without a registration number pay any arrears or make any miscellaneous payment?
Any person who wants to make payment of Central Excise duty or Service Tax and is not a registered assessee will also have to get a registration done through the concerned jurisdictional Commissionerate. The Reserve Bank had issued instruction no. RBI/2008-09/165 dated 05.09.2008 to the banks on this. The banks will therefore insist on a valid registration number before they accept any payment of Central Excise or Service Tax.
The Details shown in the electronically generated GAR-7 challan from department's website are found to be incorrect. Whom should I contact to correct the data?
If any errors are noticed in the electronically generated GAR-7 challan from "print GAR7 Challan" utility, kindly inform the jurisdictional divisional office for necessary rectification in the registration details in the Registration Database. Further an email can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com with the copy of challan as attachment. Suggestions for improvement of the utility can also be given.
I have transferred my unit from one location to another resulting in change of commissionerate/division/range. But my E-Payment cyber receipt shows the old Commissionerate/division/range name. What should I do?
The error might be due to non-updation of Master Directories by the concerned banks or M/s.NSDL. It should be ensured that the Division has made the necessary necessary changes in the Registration database. The bank concerned should be informed about the transfer from one location code to another.
My Bankers have implemented the CORE Banking solution. Can I make e-payment of Excise Duty and Service Tax, in any of their branches?
The Core Banking solution implemented by the Banks caters to the needs of the clients of that particular bank. The client is given the facility to transact from anywhere within the country.
In case of e-payment of taxes, the branches do not come into the picture as the person does not go to any branch to make payment of the taxes. When the customer/tax payer registers with the bank authorized for collecting taxes through internet banking, the bank gives the web address, the username and password to their client. The transaction occurs in the books of accounts of the bank and the tax gets credited to the Government Account. The Principle Chief Controller of Accounts has authorized certain banks to receive taxes through internet banking( e-payment).
In case of manual payment, the taxes are tendered physically in a bank branch along with the G.A.R.7 challan and that particular bank should have been authorized to receive the taxes in that area.
The list of banks in which a taxpayer can make e-payment as well as the list of banks authorized to receive taxes through its branches, is available on the website www.cbec.gov.in. The local Range/Divisional Office or the Commissionerate Technical Section can also be contacted for this information.
The Counterfoil given at the bank does not contain the Challan Identification Number (shortly referred to as CIN), which number should I quote in my ER return?
The bank has to necessarily give CIN for the payment made by you. CIN is the combination of:
a. BSR Code which is 7 digits (unique for each Bank Branch),
b. Date of tender/deposit which is 8 digits (DDMMYYYY) and
c. Challan Serial Number (5 digits) given by the Branch for each transaction.
All these details should appear in the computerized acknowledgement/receipt.
How do I know the correct accounting code for my service?
If the GAR-7 challan is generated through the utility available in the department's website (referred in FAQ No.3), the codes will automatically get populated from the database when a service is selected from the drop-down menu list. The codes can also be seen in the following link of CBEC website (http://www.cbec.gov.in/epay-idx.htm), by selecting "reverse" under the option GAR-7 challans. For knowing the correct accounting code of the service, the taxpayer can also contact the Range Superintendent or Inspector.
I have made a payment of Rs.100,000/- through a GAR-7 challan. My Range Officer says that the amount is not tallying with the data uploaded by Banks. Whom should I contact?
The bank should be approached with the copy of acknowledgement/receipt and should be asked initiate necessary action for rectification of the error.
Further, the bank can be requested to give a certificate of payment, where the amount remitted is recorded both in words and figures. The Range Officer may then be given a copy of such certificate, with a request to reconcile the matter with the concerned PAO.
What is the difference between E-Filing, EASIEST and E-Payment?
E-Filing is the facility given by CBEC to file returns online. The user-id and password has to be obtained from the Systems Manager of the jurisdictional Commissionerate's Computer Section to avail this facility. The taxpayer does not have to visit Central Excise or Service Tax Office for filing the returns.
EASIEST (Electronic Accounting System in Excise and Service Tax) is the procedure for payment of Central Excise duties and Service taxes. In EASIEST, the taxpayer has to submit only one copy of the GAR-7 challan as against the old procedure of giving 4 copies of TR-6 challans in the Bank. The counterfoil of the challan will be kept by the bank and a computerized printout of the data entered by the bank will be given to the taxpayer as a receipt / acknowledgement. The CIN (Challan Identification Number) has to be quoted in the Excise/Service Tax return in the space provided for it. CIN is the combination of:
a. BSR Code which is 7 digits (unique for each Bank Branch),
b. Date of tender/deposit which is 8 digits (DDMMYYYY) and
c. Challan Serial Number (5 digits) given by the Branch for each transaction.
There is no need for the taxpayer to attach a copy of the challan with the return.
E-Payment is a facility extended by various Banks for making Central Excise/Service Tax payments through online Banking. The taxpayer need not personally go to the Bank to make the payment. The taxpayer has to get a user-id and password from one of the banks providing the facility for making E-Payment.
What is a computer generated acknowledgement of GAR 7 challan?
The receiving bank branches of the nominated banks in EASIEST are to issue computerized challan receipt as an acknowledgement to the assessee. The collecting/receiving bank branches would hand over this receipt to the assessee as an acknowledgement/proof of the tax payment. This computer generated acknowledgement of GAR 7 challan would be given to the taxpayer after putting the signature and seal of the authorized signatory in token of receipt of the amount. This would serve as the taxpayer's receipt for payment made. The collecting / receiving bank branch would retain the tear off counterfoil of the GAR7 challan submitted by taxpayer. The words "Taxpayer's counterfoil" appearing in the GAR 7 challan would be substituted by the word "Counterfoil". The computerized printout should necessarily have the following information: -
1. Bank code
2. Branch code
3. Date of Tender of challan
4. Challan sequence number
5. Name of the Assessee
6. Assessee code
7. Location code (Commissionerate + Division + Range code)
8. Major Head code
9. The eight digit Accounting code for duty / cess in case of payments of Central Excise and Service code in case of Service Tax.
10. Amount of duty / tax paid for each of the Accounting code
11. Total amount
12. Collection indicator / Mode of payment
13. Date of realization of the instrument.
(serial no 9&10, are to be repeated for payments made under different heads)
The above details should necessarily be there in the computerized printout. The banks, if they wish can give a printout of the entire details captured by them.
How do I generate a pre-printed GAR-7 Challan and what are the printer settings required for printing the challan in a single page?
A write-up on how to generate a GAR-7 challan by a tax payer is as follows:
Click the link 'Print GAR-7 Challan' in http://exciseandservicetax.nic.in/
OR type the url https://exciseandservicetax.nic.in/GAR7.jsp from the browser.
1. In the Input Details of G.A.R-7 for Central Excise/Service Tax Payments, type Assessee code and Press 'Enter' Key
2. From the drop-down menu under 'Select Account Head Description', select appropriate duty type and enter amount in the 'Amount'column and then,
3. Press 'Submit' button for printed Challan.
4. Now you can take the print out of the Challan using the print option available in your browser
Note : Before taking printout, set paper size as A4, Header & Footer entry blank, orientation Portrait and Top & Bottom Margins with lowest possible figure from page setup menu of browser.
The Challan gives the following details:
1. Use only preprinted GAR-7 Challans
2. Enter the 15 digit PAN based Assessee Code as allotted by the Department.
3. In case PAN based Assessee Code has not been allotted, enter the temporary code.
4. If the system is not fetching the details, contact the Jurisdictional Commissionerate.
5. If the details fetched by the system are wrong, contact the Jurisdictional Commissionerate.

Restoration efforts underway for Marquette statue
MARQUETTE, MI (AP)-- A restoration effort is under way for the historic Father Marquette statue in the city of Marquette.
A Detroit-based company that works in sculpture preservation recently spent the day creating molds of the reliefs at the base of the statue. In the 115 years since the statue was dedicated to the city of Marquette, pieces have been broken from the reliefs. Experts will return in the spring to attach replacements to the original reliefs.
Father Jacques Marquette was a Jesuit missionary and explorer born in France in 1637. He served as a missionary in the region and was believed to have camped near modern day Marquette while mapping Lake Superior in 1669.
Marquette officials hope to raise $100,000 to fund the effort that includes park improvements.

The Voice
The Voice Season 1 Winner Javier Colon Dishes on Adam Levine, Simon Cowell, and Being a Father (EXCLUSIVE)
It's never easy for a winner to relinquish their crown, but The Voice Season 1's Javier Colon does it with grace.
After handing over the title of "The Voice" to Season 2 winner Jermaine Paul, Javier has only just begun his career. His post-Voice album, Come Through For You, didn't quite deliver in the way he'd imagined, but that hasn't stopped the singer.
"It wasn't probably what everyone had expected it to be, but one thing I know from being in this business from before The Voice is that this is not a sprint, it's a marathon," Javier told Wetpaint Entertainment. "As long as there's forward progress, that's my main goal."
And there's definitely been some motion in his career lately. Javier just finished playing some shows with Maroon 5 and his former coach Adam Levine, and has plans for further collaboration.
"They are the hottest band on the planet," Javier gushed. "And Adam, he's been just a great supporter during the show and after the show."
While Javier benefited from Adam on the show, he (along with the rest of America) noticed the feud between Adam and Christina heating up in Season 2.
"There definitely seemed to be some drama," Javier admitted. "I can't speak for Adam, and what his feelings were. It just seemed like Christina didn't like Tony [Lucca]'s performances very much or maybe she had something against him or against Adam. I haven't spoken to Adam about his feelings toward her, but I really don't think he harbors any ill will."
Javier has also noticed the catty remarks from former American Idol judge and X Factor creator Simon Cowell, who has publicly stated that The Voice is a copy of his competitions (but with spinning chairs).
Javier disagrees that The Voice is just another clone.
"American Idol was obviously the first when it comes to music competitions. There's no question about that, but The Voice is very unique," Javier said. "The chairs that turn — what he may think is a gimmick — is actually one of the best things that I love about the show because the coaches can't see the people who are singing, and they have to base their decisions solely on what they hear."
But Javier doesn't harbor any resentment toward Simon.
"He can say all he wants, and I'm sure he'll continue to say that his show is better, but the bottom line is there's room for all of the shows," Javier said.
In addition to playing with Maroon 5, Javier will also toured with recent Dancing With the Stars contestant Gavin DeGraw and singer Colbie Caillat.
And Javier hopes to one day reach out to international fans of The Voice.
"I'm looking to get to Australia and Singapore and a lot of places in South Africa and try to connect with fans that are a little further away, but fans none the less," Javier said.
The family man admits that touring is tough on his wife and two young daughters (ages two and four), but they are big supporters of his job.
"My oldest will walk around and she'll tell people, 'My daddy won The Voice,'" Javier laughed. "But she doesn't think that my job is any different than anyone else's Dad's job, and I want to keep it that way. We're a normal family, and I just happen to have an awesome job that I love."
While Javier says his daughters love music and singing, he doesn't necessarily want them to go into the entertainment industry.
"When I asked my oldest daughter almost two years ago what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said 'I just want to be happy,'" Javier said proudly. "For a two and a half year old, that was an amazing answer, and I want to keep it that way."

Ask Pioneer Woman
Not that there's anything left on earth that anyone really wants or needs to know about me, but I've received several "Ask Pioneer Woman" questions via email over the past several months and thought I'd start off Monday with a bang. Or a fizzle, whichever way you happen to look at this collection of mundane factoids about my little life.
What's your idea of hell on earth?
Waiting in line. Trying to race a bunch of people to get something, like tickets or items on sale. Watching a NASCAR race. (I'm sorry, NASCAR fans. I really am. I've tried, though, and it's just not gonna happen for me.)
What's your least favorite thing to shop for?
Clothes, whether for me or for my punks. Blech. Boring.
What's your favorite thing to shop for?
Kitchen tools at a restaurant supply store. Or photography equipment.
Have you ever taken prescription painkillers?
Only once, after my emergency c-section. But I imposed a one-bottle limit on myself because of all the summers I spent working at my dad's medical office. I saw firsthand the insidious grip of painkiller addiction, and I knew enough to know that no one is immune. And I stopped after one bottle; I never got it refilled.
But I sure did want to.
What's the most difficult thing you've ever experienced?
Probably the divorce of my parents. As an adult, it was a heartwrenching experience. Awful.
Can I get an "amen?"
My God, your burps are loud! Did you know you can apply to Guinness for the "Loudest Burp" record? I would encourage you to do so.
Thank you for the encouragement! But I really don't know what you're talking about. I have never burped in my life. Never. Ever. No one can prove a thing.
Are you doing a Pioneer Woman 2009 Calendar?
*Gulp* The honest answer is, I don't know. I was in the process of getting them done, and realized very late in the process that I was going to have to change to a different printer than I used last year. By then it was late November, and once I added the printing and shipping time, I knew there was no way I could guarantee calendars by Christmas, which would sort of defeat the purpose. I do have the design ready as well as a new printer, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Let me know if you're interested in a calendar after Christmas, and I'll consider whipping some out.
2008 has been a crazy time for my cerebellum. I need one of those assistants I keep hearing about people having. If only I lived in civilization, I might actually be able to get one.
Actually, never mind. I'd just drive an assistant crazy. I'll just use my punks instead.
Do you ever get bored in the country?
I long to be bored. But between Charlie and the wild horses that keep breaking into my yard, boredom is ever-elusive.
I repeat: I long to be bored. It's my life's ambition. It's really all I want for myself.
What are your goals for your children?
Overall goals? Life goals? I'd say the number one wish I have for my children is that they grow up to be kind. Kindness, in my opinion, is the greatest quality.
After that, I'd say I'd like them to be nerdy. I'm just being honest here. I'm projecting my lifelong love of nerds onto them. If all my children grew up to be major nerds, I'd be tickled to death. And I'm talking TRUE nerds, like George McFly in Back to the Future.
Oh. Did your question have to do with career or success? Because if it did, I have no answer for you.
I'm just being honest here. I assume that's what you want.
Are you in good shape?
In a word: no. I'm in terrible shape right now—the result of a summer spent writing a cookbook. But by my birthday, I intend to look like Bo Derek in 1980. Minus the tan. And the boobs. And the cornrows. And the narrow pelvis, considering I've had four kids and all.
When is your cookbook coming out?
It'll be out mid-2009. It has to print overseas, which'll take many months.
What do you use for birth control?
Are you pregnant right now?
I don't think so.
Would you like to hold public office?
Hahahahahaha Hohohohohoho Hahahah! HA! HO! HA! Ha. Ho.
What Christmas music are you listening to?
To me, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Johnny Mathis. If you aren't listening to Johnny Mathis, your Christmas is seriously lacking! My second favorite is John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together. Listening to Miss Piggy sing "Christmas is coming—the goose is getting fat…" is as much a part of my holiday tradition as eating the entire rum cake my mother-in-law makes.
Ooops. Did I just say that?
What would 'Ree the L.A. Sushi Queen' think of 'Ree the Pioneer Woman'?
Sushi Queen would not believe that four kids would be in the future. Never, ever, ever.
Sushi Queen would have thought homeschooling was for denim-jumper-wearing fundamentalists.
Sushi Queen would never have believed she'd settle down in Oklahoma.
Sushi Queen would have had a chemical resurfacing by now, and possibly some sort of breast procedure, because it would have been handy and convenient.
Pioneer Woman is glad she's not Sushi Queen. Though she would like to eat sushi more.
What's the greatest thing you've ever done?
Have a fourth child. Though I can't really take credit for it—it was all Marlboro Man's doing. Seriously, he…
Never mind.
I'll just assume you'd like me to stop there.
Do negative comments bother you?
Not too much. I'm just doing what I'm doing, as well as I can do it, based on what's going on in my life on any given day. Not everyone has to love it—in fact, it wouldn't be real life if everyone did.
Remember: I hate NASCAR. Different strokes for different humans. There are some websites that don't interest me much, and the same goes for some people and my site.
But for those of you who do enjoy aspects of my site, that satisfies me to the core.
If you could have any quality, what would it be?
I like to be able to sing.
I'd like to have better short-term memory.
I'd like to have more energy.
I'd like to be able to subsist on three hours of sleep.
I'd like to be tan.
I'd like to be organized.
I'd like to have DSL.
I'd like to be more generous with my time.
I'd like to be less scatterbrained.
I'd like…
Oh, did you just want one? Sorry. There are lots of things I wish I was. I fall short.
When is your new set of Pioneer Woman Actions coming out?
Today! They're here. And they're free. Just the way I like 'em. I really like this set. They're vintagy and different.
Have you ever written anything on your website that you've regretted?
Well, I regret that I used James' real name in the Black Heels to Tractor Wheels saga. I wish I'd called him Herman or something.
I have no reason to believe James has even read it; in fact, I'm sure he hasn't. But I think it would sting a little less if I'd used the name Herman.
Or maybe Stanley.
This opens up the whole topic of censoring/changing things you've written after the fact. I could have gone back and changed the name in all the chapters. I considered it. But I just…well, I didn't.
But just so you know: His real name is Herman. Not James.
Who's your favorite person to hang out with?
Marlboro Man. We've got rhythm.
What does Marlboro Man call you these days?
I love it. It makes me feel substantial and robust.
What do you want to do with your life?
Whatever I'm doing today. And whatever it is, I just want it be clean, wholesome, and uplifting. I want to make my grandmother proud.
Did you know you've earned a spot on Girls Burp?

I couldn't agree with you more about NASCAR… and I live in Concord, NC where NASCAR was "born". Every year in May and October (when the two "big" races take place) I detest living here– the people who come to the races leave a disgusting and shameful amount of trash behind, and they booger up traffic around here for the entire week before the race… don't these people have real lives??? I do have to say, however, that I am deeply appreciative of the money that NASCAR brings to my city because my taxes are relatively reasonable. Still, I don't get the appeal of watching people drive round and round and round a track for hours on end. UGH.

I'm sure your grandmother is proud of you.
What a wonderful measure to live up to.

I didn't get to order a calendar last year, and I'd be very interested in one after christmas if you did one!

Dear Ree…if you regret using James' real name, just go back and change it now! I only found your site a month ago, so do it now before you become even more famous. That said, I didn't think it was really derogatory towards him, but if it bothers you, just go change it. No explanations needed! I think you have every right to edit your own work.

Any chance of a 2009 calendar with a "recipes from the ranch" theme? My family & friends love your spirit!

I was just looking at my PW calendar and NEED one for 2009, pretty please! Thank goodness 2008 runs through January 2009 or I would have laid down on the floor and cried. You can get them out before the end of January, right??

I'm so proud of your second to last answer, about wanting to be clean, wholesome, and uplifting.and wanting to make your grandmother proud. That is simply the best answer. Ever. And I think you are succeeding. Thanks for the clean, etc. blog that is fun and a treat to the eye, too. And informative, with all the recipes, etc. it's a great place to check every day.

I just love these Q&A sessions. Its always so interesting to get to know someone, even though we read about all these aspects of your life, these little q&a posts really show us how many layers there are to a person. And where do these people come up with some of these awesome questions? I'd never think to ask what MM calls you, but knowing the answer is awesome. Yay for Ask Pioneer Woman. (and don't worry, we all know James' real name was Gertrude, and you just call him James to save him the embarrassment)
Tami in Twain Harte On Thursday, December 11 at 9:11 am
Yay for clean, wholesome and uplifting. This world needs more of that!

I don't like Nascar either. I hope that's OK.

Would love to buy a calendar. Doesn't matter when it's ready! Enjoy the holiday and get back to us.

I was stoked to read that John Denver and the Muppets is one of your favorite Christmas cd's – mine, too! I do my Christmas baking and candy making to that recording played over and over. I don't live on a ranch at all, but love to wear my cowboy boots when I can.. met my husband linedancing..call him "cowboy"… are you and I possibly separated at birth? lololololol Thank you Ree, for sharing your life with us. What a treat.

Has anyone tried this? I know most of us have a decal or two from whatever goodies we have added to our engine bays, the question is would the heat of the engine cause issues with a decal on the cover itself? I found one nice sized decal online, MOPAR Omega M Die-Cut Decal, Blue on White, let me know if anyone has tried this instead of painting.
My idea is to paint (Inferno red) do a DIY aluminum insert, then apply the decal off center on the engine cover half on the aluminum half on the ABS plastic. Seems like at this point most everyone has tried one thing or another, and I have just not seen this approach.
Thanks all for the comments or thoughts.
Update, one week on the car and two coats of clear I love it.

Thanks, and I was wondering if that would be the sufficent protection for it. And you have not had any problems?
Nope, they've held up great! I going to be redoing my engine cover this winter (changing it up a bit), and I'm planning on doing vinyl again and clearing over it.
Thanks Man, I think I will try this. Always more comfortable trying something when I know it has worked for at least one other person. I am too much of a va-jay-jay to just try new things.
live & learn... My first crack at it, the vinyl peeled (was using a chrome look vinyl). I didn't clear it in, and I'm sure I didn't apply it right. Then, at a car show I had the cover off the car, leaning against the car and some kid came by and knocked it over, scratching it to hell. Gave me my excuse to do it over.
I have the mopar M and mopar underneath on cover with no clear and no issues so far I also got the same blue vinyl from sticker and did my hemi on each side! looks good I will try and take picture so you can see but I can't promise anything!

When I still had my engine cover I had the hemi part covered in flat black vinyl. Held up great and made several 10-12 hr drives with it on and never started to peel off.
Good info and thanks to OP for starting this thread. Like the idea of the clearcoat over the vinyl. Wasn't sure whether the solvent in the clear would affect the vuinyl adhesive; guess it does not.

One of the advantages to me of clearing over the vinyl was not having to worry about catching a corner with a cloth when cleaning it.
Well Finally finished my painted engine cover and applied the Mopar decal tonight.
We all know what the before looks like....
Here is the cover without the decal applied. My wife still thinks this is the best look.
And here is the after. In my wifes words "um, not as bad as I thought it would be".
Side shot
Thoughts? I still have to hit the cover with the coat of clear. For some reason the paint is still slightly tacky after 24 hours, but it was sitting in a 90 degree garage all day today. Moved it inside to the coolest room to cure.
I like it..
Almost would like to see what the "M" looks like in red though in your application.

By Kristian Vasquez –
The Park Avenue Music Ministry presented "The Jesus Gift" Christmas play on Sunday at Park Avenue Baptist Church. It was held at 1910 Martin Luther King Boulevard at 3:00PM and performed by the AM Simpson children's choir and the sanctuary choir of the PABC music ministry.
The production attempted to show the true manner of the birth of Jesus Christ. The play was inspired by Park Avenue member Mildred Mason. "I just wanted the kids to be together" Mason said. "They did a beautiful job."
The play was written by long time member Elisa Henderson who also wrote several other plays for the church and whose children, nieces, and nephews also play a big part in her presentations.
"The original play started a long time ago with the birth of Jesus" Henderson said. "I use the bible for inspiration." Both Henderson and the AM Simpson choir director Ayanna Smith worked with the children who had prepared for the play since October. The pews were filled with family and friends of the children and members of the church. Also in attendance was PABC pastor Larry E. Campbell.
"The children were wonderful" Campbell said.
"When God gets ready to do something, he starts with the children."
"We should shout it from the mountain tops," the narrator said concluding the play, "that Jesus Christ our Lord and savior has come to redeem us from this sin sick world. Hallelujah amen."
The production ended with both the sanctuary and children's choir singing the hymn "Glory to God in the Highest."
Henderson said that her next play will be an Easter themed presentation that splits biblical and modern takes on right and wrong choices.

Funcom's office in Beijing, China, is shutting down. The studio, which primarily developed art and animation for The Secret World, will close its doors for good later this year. The move comes as part of Funcom's previously announced restructuring process, which also sees an unspecified number of layoffs at Funcom's Montreal, Quebec and Raleigh, North Carolina studios.
The Funcom restructuring is aimed at creating a centralized team at its North Carolina studio, which will focus on development of the company's three major titles: The Secret World, Age of Conan, and Anarchy Online.
The company explained that prior to the restructuring, the North Carolina outfit only housed Funcom billing, community, customer service, operations, and quality assurance teams. Now, the outfit will also include developers, which will allow Funcom to "build a stronger, more unified team."
Funcom's office in Montreal is currently working on unannounced projects for tablet and mobile platforms. In addition, the outfit is continuing its work on the company's Dreamworld technology, the engine behind The Secret World.
Overall, Funcom said its new plan is to "build smaller, high-quality" online games while simultaneously supporting its MMO games. In addition, Funcom is working on a Lego Minifigures MMO game, though details on this project have not yet been announced.

"Most natural science classes at LSSU offer students as much hands-on experience (lab hours) as lecture hours, which ensures that the university experience prepares us for the real world careers, whether you work at a desk or out in the field, or both. There are endless advantages and opportunities available to LSSU students due to its location on an international border.
I found my career path on campus when my advisor posted a job for the Bi-national Public Advisory Council (BPAC), a group dedicated to and overseeing the clean-up the St. Mary's River.

Rosoboronexport plans to discuss all outstanding issues of military technical cooperation with both Indonesian and other regional partners. Rosoboronexport is presenting more than 200 items of Russian armaments and military equipment at 5th International INDO DEFENCE 2012 Expo & Forum will be held from 7 to 10 November 2012 at Jakarta, Indonesia.
"Indonesia is one of Russia's major partners in the region, and it is only natural that we expect progress in many areas of our military technical cooperation with this country, following our talks in Jakarta. We offer our Indonesian partners various projects. It can be licence assembly, joint item development, or assistance in refining products developed by Indonesia. This also involves technologies transfers, which is now especially important for Indonesia striving to develop its own defence industry", – said Viktor Komardin, deputy director general of Rosoboronexport and head of the delegation to the exhibition.
Rosoboronexport expect that Russian air defence systems, such as the Buk-M2E missile system, Pantsir-S1 gun/missile system, and Igla-S man-portable air defence missile system, will draw special attention this year.
Rosoboronexport proposes to Indonesia a concept of integrated air defence system based on the Buk-M2E medium-range air defence missile systems and Pantsir-S1 short-range air defence gun/missile systems. Russian experts believe that the system in such configuration will be able to effectively protect country's vital military and administrative installations from all existing air attack weapons of potential enemy, including from massive air strikes.
Highly popular in the region Russian aircraft will also be at the centre stage of the exhibition. Besides promoting new defence products such as the Ka-52 and Mi-28NE combat helicopters, Mi-26Т2 heavy-lift transport with the upgraded avionics suite and Ka-226T light multipurpose helicopters, Rosoboronexport intends to discuss with its partners all issues related to the organisation of an efficient after-sales servicing system for Russian aircraft and helicopters as well as conditions for establishing service centres.
Indonesian partners will display a BMP-3F infantry combat vehicle (ICV) operated by the Indonesian Marine Corps. The BMP-3F ICVs have earned an excellent reputation with the Indonesian armed forces. Other countries in the region are showing interest in armoured vehicles from the BMP-3 family. Russian armoured materiel in general, and the T-90S main battle tank (MBT) with its latest upgraded version in particular, show good sales prospects in this region's market.
The 90S MBT has demonstrated excellent performance meeting its high combat and running specifications during most exacting trials in one of the countries in the region.
In the naval sector Rosoboronexport offers a wide variety of surface ships and boats, submarines, various weapon systems. Considering extended maritime borderlines of states in the region, one of the most important problems is to ensure effective protection of their 200-mile economic zones. For this purpose Rosoboronexport offers a set of facilities for establishing an integrated littoral sea control system.

It's a little harder to get duped by a timeshare scam these days, but there are still plenty of people out there who hope to make you fall for one. Our goal here is to educate you before scammers and crooks have a chance to take advantage of your desire to buy, or even sell, a timeshare. We've come up with a list of five essential tips on how to avoid such scams.
- Avoid buying on the spot. Any company that pressures you into buying a timeshare on the spot is likely up to no good. Companies or Resorts (such as Disney) will gladly give you a number to their sales office if they can't get you to buy then and there, but scam companies likely won't take no for an answer.
- Avoid 900 numbers. Legitimate businesses always operate through 1-800 numbers. If you go into your search engine of choice and type in any number starting with "1-900", you're guaranteed to find endless complaints of identify theft, fraud, and so forth. So even if the company you're dealing with sounds legitimate, if they give you a 900 number to call simply stop dealing with them immediately.
- Have an attorney review the contract. If you're going to be bothered into signing a contract, at least make sure the company allows you to have an attorney review it before you give in and sign on the dotted line. A trained eye will be able to tell in a heartbeat whether or not a deal is legitimate, so don't leave it up to chance. If the company won't give you a copy for your attorney to examine, odds are they are crooks.
- Research the company. With the emergence of smart phones, this step has never been easier. While listening to the presentation do yourself a favor and do an internet search on the company. Pay attention to any testimonials you come across. Odds are if this company scammed some one before, the victim will have made a public complaint online. If you're not at the presentation, and are speaking to a sales person over the phone, just use your home computer.
- Always read the fine print. This tip even applies to legitimate companies, but it's especially important when you suspect the deal might be a scam. There might be hidden fees or other such traps in your contract, so be diligent when reading. Don't skip a single word, especially if it's in smaller font.
There are vultures everywhere, and they love to prey upon the easily fooled. The key is to stay informed, and to act upon that information. Keep the above tips in mind and never get duped again.

A Massage Chair For Arthritis and Low Back Pain Relief
Arthritis affects millions of people each year worldwide. It can cause debilitating effects for the person who is afflicted, causing varying degrees of symptoms and disability.
A particularly difficult arthritis is when it affects the lower lumbar. Treatments can range from physical therapy, massage chair therapy to surgery on the extreme end.
Arthritis in the lumbar spine, or the lower back, is a common problem and one which can cause a variety of symptoms. Those that are obese, those who are involved in heavy labor, or those who have suffered a previous injury to their spine are more prone to this condition.
The individual discs are held together by soft tissues. These soft tissues must be strong enough to take on the weight of the body.
Other conditions include disc degeneration and spinal stenosis. The symptoms of lower lumbar spine arthritis are stiffness in the lower back and many times severe pain.
Sometimes strenuous activity or where one is using the lower back muscles can cause symptoms to worsen. In many cases the arthritis can worsen and as the soft tissues degenerate bone spurs can form.
When bone spurs form they inflame the surrounding soft tissue. This inflammation causes the nerves to become pinched resulting in spinal stenosis. Natural methods are geared towards restoring the original flexibility of the soft tissues.
Doctors normally start with more natural methods such as physical therapy, chiropractic are and massage therapy.
The doctor wants to give the body a chance to heal itself naturally and to build up the muscles.
Massage chairs deliver a variety of treatments including stretching, the application of heat, and even music therapy.
