Injury and Illness Prevention Program
Mission Statement
Claremont McKenna College strives to provide a safe and healthful work and study environment for employees, visitors, and students. The College recognizes that this responsibility cannot be discharged passively but requires the active participation and support of all. This document, the Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), serves as the framework for us to accomplish our mission and has been prepared in compliance with Title 8, Section 3203 of the California Code of Regulations.
The intent of this particular document is to encourage employees to communicate openly on safety and health matters. The structure allows for communication at the All-College level through the liaison efforts of the Director of Human Resources (through the Human Resources Committee), the Safety and Emergency Preparedness Coordinator (through the All College Safety Committee) and the Director of Facilities and Campus Services (through the Facilities Managers' Committee). A report of inspections and actions taken will be submitted to Senior Staff on semi-annual basis (report to be prepared by the Director of Human Resources and the Safety and Emergency Preparedness Coordinator).
Implementation and Responsibility
Program Management
Direct responsibility for the Injury and Illness Prevention Program rests with the Director of Human Resources. Responsibility includes implementation of this plan. Secondary responsibilities for the Safety Program rests with the Director of Facilities and Campus Services, by virtue of his/her responsibility for the facilities and grounds maintenance, and the Departmental Coordinator of the Keck Science Center, who will oversee the Safety Program as it pertains to that facility and assigned employees. The coordinator will work closely with the science department chair. The Keck Science Center is managed on a rotational basis with Claremont McKenna, Pitzer and Scripps Colleges.
Safety & Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Responsibilities
Training Plan
Organize, and coordinate safety and health training for supervisors. Supervisors play a key role in the success of the safety program. All supervisors are responsible for the safe performance of their assigned departmental functions and accomplishment of safety training and development of their employees.
Proper Procedures and Conditions
Ensures follow through on all reported unsafe or unhealthy conditions, work practices, or procedures in a timely manner based upon the severity of the situation.
Inspections, Actions Taken, and Documentation
- Conduct annual safety and health inspections of the entire campus facility regardless of the inspections conducted by the Campus Maintenance and Safety Committee.
- The Safety Coordinator will follow up to make sure any and all necessary corrective action is completed. These inspection records will be maintained for three years along with any actions taken.
Participate in periodic scheduled inspections of grounds and facilities to identify unsafe conditions and work practices. Inspections may be conducted:
- When new substances, processes, procedures, or equipment represent a new occupational safety and/or health hazard.
- The College becomes aware of a new or previously unrecognized hazard.
Injuries and Illnesses
Support The Claremont Colleges Disability Administration Office's program for the medical treatment for injured employees. The program shall include first aid equipment and procedures to provide additional medical attention.
Along with the Environmental Health & Safety Office, the Safety & Emergency Preparedness Coordinator will:
- Keep up-to-date information on local, state, and federal safety and health regulations.
- Keep management informed of pertinent activities, injuries, illnesses, and laws.
- Maintain liaisons with outside agencies such as local and state agencies.
Note: The Claremont Colleges Disability Administration Office maintains the 300 log.
Administrative/Supervisory Staff Responsibilities
At the time a new employee begins work at the College, or when an employee changes job functions requiring new tasks, safety training will be conducted to indoctrinate the employee into the new job. Although all job changes may not require additional safety training, the employee's supervisor is to ensure training levels are adequate. All new hires are to receive training on the following subjects, regardless of job assignment:
- Injury and Illness Prevention Plan orientation
- Hazard Communication Program - general
- Workplace Violence Prevention Program
- Emergency Plan (disaster/fire safety)
Proper Procedures and Conditions
Immediate supervisors are responsible for maintaining a safe workplace. When poor conditions and practices exist, it is their duty to ensure that the problem is corrected. This involves such actions as reporting poor work conditions and ensuring their repair, (i.e. cleaning up spills, making sure the area is clean and fall-proof, complying with the hazardous materials (haz mat) requirements, complying with blood borne pathogen requirements, keeping machinery and equipment in safe operating condition, etc.). Supervisors will:
- Ensure that the employees follow all safety and health regulations and work practices, including the use of required personal protective equipment.
- Positively recognize employees who are particularly effective in following safe and healthful work practices.
- Appropriately discipline, up to and including termination, employees who repeatedly fail to follow safe work practices or demonstrate flagrant disregard for their own safety or the safety of others.
Inspections, Actions Taken, and Documentation
- Ensure prompt remedy of hazardous conditions or practices in a timely manner, based upon the severity of the hazard/practice.
- Report without delays any unsafe or unhealthful condition and take all necessary precautions until the condition is corrected.
- If an imminent hazard exists that cannot be taken care of immediately without endangering one or more employees or property, it may be appropriate to remove all exposed personnel from the area in which the hazard exists. If it is necessary to use employees to correct the hazardous condition, they will be provided all appropriate safeguards.
Accident Investigation
- The department supervisor performs the initial accident investigation. The CMC Safety & Emergency Preparedness Coordinator and/or the CUC Safety Officer are available to assist the supervisor where necessary. It is the mission of the person conducting the investigation to determine the "root cause" of the accident and to recommend corrective action to prevent this type of accident from reoccurring.
- The CUC Safety Officer or the CMC Safety & Emergency Preparedness Coordinator may request a Job Hazard Analysis from the supervisor, where the initial investigation report is unclear as to the cause and required corrective action.
Injuries and Illnesses
- Promptly, thoroughly and accurately complete all injury and illness reporting forms and ensure that sick and injured employees receive appropriate medical attention.
- Review each injury with the injured party and discuss measures that will be taken to prevent another injury.
Investigate illnesses that may reasonably have been caused due to exposure at work. This includes:
- An employee who comes to work with a contagious illness and others catch it from him/her.
- Exposure to chemicals known to be hazardous.
- Keep records of all investigations for three years.
- Keep informed about safety and health regulations affecting the operations they supervise.
- All employees who will potentially be exposed to bodily fluids as a collateral function to their normal and customary job are required to have training on blood borne pathogens and to be offered immunization for the Hepatitis B virus. This immunization is offered at no cost to the employee and is authorized by the Human Resources Office.
- Faculty engaged in scientific work (teaching or research) are presumed to have specialized professional knowledge of their field and are responsible for complying with all environmental health and safety regulations in their laboratories: a) where their work requires the use of hazardous materials, b) where there is an introduction of a new hazardous substance or, c) where processes or procedures create a circumstance that requires regulatory safeguards of the condition. This includes but is not limited to raw material and in-process material security and appropriate licensing, use of the proper safety engineering controls or personal protective equipment, medical surveillance, environmental monitoring, and appropriate waste stream management. The Chemical Hygiene Program is an integral part of this effort and it is the responsibility of each faculty member engaged in such work to become familiar with and implement those procedures, which are germane to their particular process protocols.
- This faculty who are engaged in scientific work, as noted above, are also responsible for the training of all student and staff working under their supervision. They must conduct all required training sessions and maintain records of these trainings for a minimum of three years.
Employee Responsibilities
Cooperate with all training efforts.
Proper Procedures and Conditions >
- Learn and practice safe work procedures and rules.
- Correct unsafe work conditions if possible (i.e. pick things up off the floor, clean up all spills including water, follow the haz mat and bloodborne pathogens requirements, etc.) and report such findings immediately to your supervisor.

- Any employee who has caused an accident because of gross negligence, carelessness or horseplay will be subject to immediate discipline, up to and including termination.
- Any employee who is discovered to be in possession of or under the influence of alcohol or narcotics (drugs) will be subject to immediate discipline, up to and including termination.
Employee Health and Safety Training
Employee safety training is provided at no cost to the employee and is conducted during normal working hours. All employees receive training on the IIPP, Harassment, Hazardous Communication and Workplace Violence programs. Additional training is specific to each department's job assignments.
Identifying Unsafe Conditions and Practices
The methods to report unsafe conditions and practices are through:
- Self-inspection checklists submitted to your supervisor
- Periodic inspections by the Safety & Emergency Preparedness Coordinator
- Reports to Campus Safety Committee members
- Calls directly to Human Resources
Correcting Hazards
Hazards discovered by any of the aforementioned identification methods will be corrected by cooperation between the supervisor in control of that work area and Facilities and Campus Services which handles the maintenance of the campus. Unsafe conditions will be corrected as quickly as possible after discovery of the hazard and based on the severity of the hazard. Supervisors of affected areas are responsible for ensuring that any hazards are corrected in a timely manner.
Imminent Hazards
If the problem that poses an immediate danger of serious harm or bodily injury cannot be corrected immediately, the area should be cordoned off until corrections can be made.
Investigating Injuries & Illnesses
Reporting the Injury or Illness
- The supervisor of an injured employee must ensure that the Employee's Report of Occupational Accident and the Supervisor's Report of Occupational Accident are properly completed and sent to Claremont McKenna's Human Resources Department and The Claremont Colleges Disability Administration Office.
- If the employee saw a physician, the supervisor must obtain a medical release form before allowing the employee to return to work. The health care provider may stipulate work tasks that must be avoided or work conditions that must be altered before the employee resumes his or her full duties.
Injury Investigation
The injured employee's supervisor is responsible for performing an investigation to determine and correct the cause(s) of the incident. Specific procedures to be used to investigate workplace accidents and hazardous substance exposures include:
- Interviewing injured people and witnesses;
- Examining the injured employee's workstation for causative factors;
- Reviewing established procedures to ensure they are adequate and were followed;
- Reviewing training records of affected employees;
- Determining all contributing causes to the accident [equipment, material, people];
- Taking corrective actions to prevent the accident/exposure from reoccurring;
- Recording all findings and actions taken.
Return to Work Program
To the extent possible and as required by law, Claremont McKenna College is committed to returning injured employees to modified or alternative work as soon as possible. This will be done by temporarily modifying the employee's job or providing the employee with an alternative position as long as it is not an undue burden on the department. Any limitations or restrictions given by the attending physician will be considered as a priority when identifying the modified/alternative position.
This program is intended to provide employees with an opportunity to continue as valuable members of our team while recovering from a work related injury. We want to minimize any adverse effects of an ongoing disability on our employees. This program is intended to promote speedy recoveries, while keeping the employees' work patterns and income consistent. At this time, we benefit from having our employees providing a service and contributing to the overall productivity of our business.
This program applies to ALL employees of The Claremont Colleges.
All injuries and the duration of the disability will be handled by the CUC Disability and Workers Compensation Office. This office will act as a liaison between Claremont McKenna College, the injured worker, the attending physician and the insurance carrier. The Disability and Workers Compensation Office will make sure the appropriate paperwork and forms have been properly handled and submitted to the appropriate parties. The Disability and Workers Compensation Office will monitor the modified/alternative work and gather any additional information that may be needed to properly handle the return to work efforts.
Supervisors/Department Managers
- In the event of an injury, the supervisor/department manager will make sure that the employee receives first aid, or if necessary, proper medical treatment at the selected medical clinic or emergency room.
- If possible, the supervisor/manager will accompany the employee to the medical clinic. The attending physician shall be notified on the first visit that Claremont McKenna College has a return to work program and that modified/alternative work will be provided.
- The supervisor/manager will work closely with the Disability & Unemployment Department to coordinate the return to work efforts and will be responsible for introducing the employee back into the work place in the modified/alternative position.
- Supervisor/department manager will make sure that the injured employee receives necessary assistance from coworkers and that the employee does NOT work outside of his/her restrictions. Monitoring for transition into full duty work will be the supervisor/manager responsibility.
- Unless an emergency, if an injury occurs on the job, the employee is required to report it to their supervisor/manager immediately. If the injury requires more attention than first aid; the employee will be sent to the selected provider for occupational injuries. If available, a supervisor will accompany the employee to the medical clinic. Together with the physician, the employee's physical restrictions and limitations shall be discussed. All employees are expected to return to the worksite the very SAME day to report the physician's findings and to discuss modified or alternative work with the Disability Administration Office. This will enable all parties to be kept abreast of the employee's condition. Employees that have an injury shall report to the worksite after each doctor's visit to discuss his/her recovery.
- Once an employee has returned to work it is his/her responsibility to work within the physical limitations that the physician has given. The employee shall perform only those duties that are assigned to him/her. An employee shall immediately notify his/her supervisor of any difficulty in performing the duties. The employee must also notify his/her supervisor in advance of any medical appointments (time off will be allowed for industrial appointments, however, we do request that all appointments should be made outside normal work hours, when possible). The employee shall keep his/her supervisor/manager informed of the recovery process and the ability to perform modified/alternative work.
Communicating with Employees
Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that employees are supplied access to hazard information pertinent to their work assignments. Information concerning the health and safety hazards of tasks performed by their department staff is available from a number of sources. These sources include, but are not limited to, Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS), equipment operating manuals, the College's' Safety Coordinator, container labels, and training materials provided.
Accident Reports
- According to the law, the College shall maintain a "Log of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses". The Cal/OSHA Form 300 will be used to maintain these records. The Claremont Colleges Disability Administrator is responsible for maintenance of this log.
- Occupational injuries and illnesses shall be reported by the Claremont Colleges Disability Administrator to the Division of Labor Statistics and Research, as required by law. Injuries will be reported using form DSLR5020, "Employer's Report of Injury". The Claremont Colleges Disability Administrator shall be responsible for notifying the College's workers' compensation insurance company within 48 hours of a work related injury or illness and shall maintain a record of all accident and illness reports.
Record Retention
Record retention is required by regulation and provides documentation of the compliance efforts of Claremont McKenna College. These records are to be made available to Cal/OSHA inspectors during their visits to the campus. Generally, these are:
- Facility inspections records - 3 years
- Training records - 3 years
- Environmental monitoring - 30 years
- Medical surveillance - 30 years
General Document Retention
The following records will be maintained in the Human Resources Department (400 N. Claremont Boulevard):
- Records of scheduled and periodic workplace inspections, including the person(s) conducting the inspection, any identified unsafe conditions or work practices, and corrective actions.
- Employee safety training records, including names of all attendees and instructors, the training date and material covered.
- Safety Committee meeting documentation.

Comments about Maytag Bravos Series White Steam Electric Dryer:
Overall, I am happy with this dryer. Unfortunately, it does seem to leave clothes damp especially large loads and jeans. I have gotten to the point where I dry almost every load on the "timed dry" cycle for an hour just to avoid checking on loads that aren't quite dry yet. Large loads do not dry completely on the sensor cycles, I assume because only the clothes that are on the outside of the load are touching whatever sensors there are and when those clothes are dry, it's done. The "rapid refresh" option is wonderful for my uniforms and removes the wrinkles in my shirts and pants every time. A great time-saver since I don't have to iron the uniform every night before work. I have used the dryer for a queen size comforter and it came out fluffy and renewed after one cycle. I have to say the the pros far outweigh the few cons on this one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A former St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee chairman has entered the race for his partys nomination in the 21st Congressional District.
Stephen W. Burke, who twice served as county chairman, said Monday that he would force a Democratic primary by circulating petitions to get on the June 24 primary ballot.
If he is successful, there will be primaries in the Democratic, Republican and Green parties to name party candidates for the seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh.
Mr. Burke said he decided to seek the nomination after district Democratic county chairpersons endorsed Aaron G. Woolf as the partys candidate. Mr. Woolf, a documentary-film maker and organic-grocery store owner, was selected on Feb. 12. Mr. Woolf owns a house on about 150 acres in the town of Elizabethtown, Essex County, and splits his time between there and a home in New York City.
Mr. Burke, a farmer and insurance broker in Heuvelton, has been a resident of St. Lawrence County for about 30 years. He is a member of the Macomb Town Council, and was a member of the Heuvelton Central School Board of Education.
Mr. Burke said he decided to run after he heard and read criticism contending that Mr. Woolfs north country connections are dubious. He suggested that the committees skewed to Mr. Woolf because they felt he had enough money to fund or help fund the campaign.
Im an old political warhorse, Mr. Burke said. Money cant be the whole thing. The party organization may be weak in raising money, but thats no reason to pick a candidate.
The candidate cited the north countrys flaccid economy as his primary concern. He said that Fort Drum, which contributes more than a billion dollars to the regional economy, and the remaining manufacturing centers, such as Alcoa, need a champion in Washington.
With the recent cuts in the military budget, Mr. Burke said, he would like to see the Department of Defense look first to close unimportant overseas bases before looking at any here in the U.S.
Lets start bringing those soldiers home and assigning them to bases here, he said.
He also cited Alcoa, which has a new factory in Chile, as an asset the north country can ill afford to lose.
We have to help them so they want to stay here, Mr. Burke said.
Mr. Burke styled himself as a fiscal conservative and a human liberal, a combination he said resonates with 21st District voters.
He said he had high regard for former Northern New York Rep. John M. McHugh, who is now secretary of the Army. Mr. Burke ran against Mr. McHugh on the Liberal Party line in 1992 and finished fourth in a four-way race.
Mr. Burke has worked in the state Legislature, as a legislative aide to Sen. Leon E. Giuffreda and then as aide to Assembly Speaker Perry B. Duryea Jr.
He has a colorful political history of his own. He has sought seats ranging from St. Lawrence County District 4 against Alex A. MacKinnon to U.S. House of Representatives against Mr. McHugh.
He had a brief fling as a gubernatorial candidate against fellow Democrat Mario M. Cuomo, which he dropped in a matter of weeks, and a quixotic presidential foray before the 1992 presidential campaign in which he received 39 votes in the February 1991 New Hampshire primary.
He also created a stir in the north country when it was discovered that he was charged in 1983 with accepting a bribe while he was a town of Brookhaven councilman.
He was acquitted by a Suffolk County jury after testifying that the cash was a campaign contribution and that he had been entrapped. A juror told Newsday that the two witnesses against him were not believable.
Mr. Burke said his immediate task is to firm up his campaign organization. James Monroe is acting as campaign manager.
Im going to put together a good team, Mr. Burke said. Well get out there and win the primary, then focus on winning the election.
Mr. Burke, 67, has a wife, Yelena, and a daughter, Angelina. The family raises mixed-breed cattle on their 400-acre farm.

London 2012 will leave a lasting engineering legacy for the UK
London 2012 will not leave a lasting engineering legacy for the UK
In a nutshell, the two arguments - as featured in the latest issue of E&T magazine - are as follows.
The engineering legacy of the Olympics is, I think, not purely a technical one. In this context I am convinced that the real effect that will be handed down to the nation is that the British engineering community has been able to slay the dragon of "we do not do major projects well in this country". The outcome will be that everybody will say: "Hasn't this gone well?" To which my response as chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) will be "yes". What the ODA has achieved is to demonstrate that if you want complex major engineering projects done well then you can have every confidence in turning to British companies. This is because the Olympic 'big build' in London has been done within budget and to time. And it leaves a meaningful legacy for London.
I completely agree with the proposition that the legacy that London 2012 will leave will be a much better developed east London that otherwise would have been very deprived. It will be a physical construction legacy. Lessons from Athens 2004 and Sydney 2000 have clearly been learned.But in terms of the actual blinking lights, sensors, relays and all the grass roots componentry, as well as the IT, communications, measurement and broadcast transmission systems that go into making the electronic backbone of the games, its hard to see what lasting legacy these will have.

It was not completed within budget because the first budget presented to the public was about £1.5 billion as I recall. As that was then changed who is to really say what the budget was and in reality the project was scaled back to keep costs down. Building the channel tunnel was a significant engineering achievement but the building which has taken place for London 2012 is more or less using technology and building techniques which we were already familiar with. Regards to completing on time that has more to do with the way the contracts are set up and managed and because in reality a completion date is set which cannot then be moved.....it is not some big achievement to complete a project on time. The legacy will be some improved sports facilities and some additional people taking up the sport.....who knows, maybe some of those will be engineers who will go on to do great work because they are fit and healthy!

As someone who worked a lot in east london and still drives through there an awful lot, i have to say i am sorry for the hundreds of small business's that were forced out to release the necessary land.
Id also say that there have been far greater engineering achievements in the UK than building a collection of un-necessarily overpriced and over complicated buildings.
Shouldn't we be looking at Canary wharf for building towers in nothing more than reclaimed mud? Or the achievements in this country in the field of motorsport, in which we are a world leader.
A collection of high priced buildings built on land fill from the high speed rail link is nothing to pat ourselves on the back.
The swimming pool for instance will be passed over to the local authority after its use. What chance has the financially broke LA got of maintaining such a building constructed to a virtually unlimited design and financial brief?
I visited Barcelona many years ago, a few years after the olympics were held there. It was a ghost town, overgrown with trees and weeds.
The initial budget for Stratford had presumed (very foolishly) that HMRC would let them off the VAT, and that single mistake had cost them hundreds of millions to start with: how on earth can that make it on budget?
£110 million spent on diverting overhead power lines because of looks. What a waste of money. How many schools or hospitals would that have paid for?
Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine....

Product Details
Front Driver Side Deck Lid Weatherstrips (GMK2432714681L) by Goodmark®. Trunks and Tailgates are at the rear of cars and trucks, but that doesn't mean they're any less vulnerable to damage. Many an inattentive driver has dented the trunk or tailgate of the vehicle in front of them, and most tailgates and trunks on classic cars and trucks are especially vulnerable to rust. If you want to make your car or truck like new, don't bother with used panels or cheap replacements; get authentic reproduction sheet metal from the restoration experts at Goodmark.
- Faithful reproduction of the original part
- Highest quality sheet metal parts available
- Designed with the latest software and manufactured using modern tooling
- The same dimensions as the original factory replacement part
- The same gauge sheet metal as original equipment
- The largest supplier of sheet metal parts in the GM Restoration Parts Program
After decades of exposure to the elements and bad drivers, the trunk or tailgate on your classic car or truck is probably rusted, dinged or dented. And since most trunk lids and tailgates are flat, don't take a chance with a used panel because every flaw will end up showing through the paint. To make your car or truck factory new, you need genuine reproduction sheet metal from Goodmark.
Restoring cars isn't just a business for the people at Goodmark, they're also car enthusiasts and restorers just like you, and they wouldn't make anything they wouldn't install on their own cars or trucks. Each trunk or tailgate is CAD/CAM designed to make sure it exactly replicates the original part, and then it's manufactured with the most modern tooling. Each design is test fit to make sure it looks and fits perfectly. Many Goodmark parts have been approved by the manufacturers of the original equipment and are licensed to be sold as genuine replacement parts.
Because of its close proximity to the rear quarter panels and wheelhouses, the trunk area is known for rust and rot. You may have to peel back the trunk mat, but the damage is usually there. Goodmark has an extensive selection of trunk floor panels and trunk floor patch panels for most popular classic cars and trucks to make your trunk solid again. Besides dings and dents, trunk lids and tailgates are also susceptible to rust at their lower edges. Regardless of the type of damage, Goodmark has accurate reproductions of these panels that will make your vehicle look factory original.
Besides these major panels, Goodmark also has a wide range of hinges, weatherstripping, latches, strikers, lock cylinders, moldings and emblems to make the back of your vehicle perfect.49.34Brand: Goodmark Part Number: GMK2432714681L UPC: 840314133731
Goodmark® was founded in 1991 by car enthusiasts, restorers and collectors just like you. They recognized that there was a need for quality restoration parts, especially sheet metal parts, if the restoration of our beloved American classics was to continue. Since that time, Goodmark has created a complete line of sheet metal, trim parts, and accessories for popular cars like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, and for previously difficult to restore cars like the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda. Goodmark uses CAD/CAM (computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing) software and modern tooling and manufacturing techniques to create parts that are identical to factory original for perfect fit and finish. Quality parts tooled and manufactured by Goodmark are enabling many more American classic and muscle cars to return to the road, looking just as fine as the day they rolled off the assembly line.

Second hand store displays: good marketing or eyesore?
ROSEBURG, Ore. -- The City of Roseburg is dusting off a 15-year-old ordinance and putting it into effect. Some business owners in Roseburg may have to change the way they do business, or pay the price.
The Dusty Hutch on SE Stephens Street has just about everything. Lately, all that stuff is getting lots of attention, and not the kind the owners bargained for.
Shane and Dawn Hutchinson, the owners of the Dusty Hutch, received a letter from the city, stating that second hand shops in areas zoned for commercial use can't have second hand goods on display outside the building. "The used stuff out front was an eyesore, I guess," said Shane.
Teresa Clamons, a community planner for the City of Roseburg, says the used items are an issue. "This is an issue, because I drive into town that way and it's not a good gateway to Roseburg," she said.
The city reminded thrift store owners about a couple of ordinances that limit the sale of used goods to fully enclosed structures in certain zones of Roseburg. "The ordinance does state specifically, second hand stores have to keep things inside the building," said Clamons.
But, that doesn't go for every store in Roseburg. Peggy Cheatham of While Away Books, puts less expensive items on shelves outside to attract customers. "You know, a lot of sales come from visualization," she said.
The city says while a 'few' items outside are OK, they do have rules. And, with customer complaints stacking up, the old way is history. "It really hadn't been that big of a deal until last summer, when we got citizens' complaints," Clamons said.
Meanwhile, Shane and Dawn Hutchinson fear their livelihood will be threatened if they have to change the way they advertise. "The things that are outside is what our customers stop in for," said Shane. "That's 60% of our revenue."
Dawn told KPIC News what she thinks will happen if the city goes forward with enforcing the ordinance. "I think they'll (customers) probably think we're closed."
The city is looking into a compromise, and using Sweet Home as a model. Sweet Home uses a permit system, and only allows what you can fit inside at night to be out during the day.
But, if thrift stores don't change by November, they will be subject to a fine, starting at $500 a day.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Over the weekend, Sabres GM Darcy Regier said that Patrick Kaleta had to change his game to save his career. The Angola native was placed on and cleared waivers, then reassigned to Rochester. Today, Kaleta skated through his first practice with the Amerks since 2008.
He said it has been a difficult few days. "You know, obviously it's a tough time for me." Kaleta added "I'm here to improve my game, and whatever I can do to improve it, that's what's going to happen."
Kaleta will be working with Randy Cunneyworth, who the Sabres just hired as a scout. It should be a good fit because Cunneyworth was also the coach of the Amerks when Kaleta last wore the red, white and blue.
Current Amerks Head Coach Chad Cassidy said "there's no time table, he's got to show the progress and that he can make it back to the National League and be an effective player there."
But the assignment also puts the Amerks in a bit of a bind, they are now over the league maximum for veteran players. That means one veteran will have to sit each game that Kaleta is with Rochester. One of those veterans, Matt Ellis, knows exactly what Kaleta is going through. Ellis has bounced back and forth from Buffalo to Rochester.
Ellis offered this advice, 'you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and go to work."
That is exactly what Kaleta plans to do, improving his skills, staying physical, but backing off of his tendency of going after the big, and sometimes reckless, hits.
"I'm taking ownness of it too, right? I'm the one playing hockey so I have to change as quickly as the league is changing," said Kaleta.
As part of his new beginning, Kaleta will wear #27. It was the number he wore when he originally broke in with the Amerks. He selected the number back then in honor of his favorite player as a youth, Michael Peca.

By BRYAN BOUCHERHelper
I am so tired of hearing the all the Bush supporters cry about the non-supporters not respecting the office of the president.
The office is an inanimate object, a desk and chair that cannot follow policy or law. The person who occupies that office should be the subject of respect or disrespect, depending on one's opinion of him.
There are many citizens of this country who obviously disrespect the current occupant (myself included) because of his dishonesty, his unwillingness to admit mistakes, his administration's need for secrecy, his willingness to go headlong into an ill-advised war against a sovereign nation, his illegal spying on United States citizens, his total lack of respect for the Constitution of the United States, etc.
Yet the sycophants who blindly go along with everything that comes from the mouths of him and his band in the White House label any dissenters unpatriotic, and supportive of Al-Qaida.
Dissent has always been the protector of democracy. We in this country used to know that, but this administration has used fear so effectively to rule and control that many of us are afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal from a tyrannical government.
Soon it will be too late.

First, you need to tell CVS where your directory is. To do this, you would do
Then you would check out the module --> Edit it --> commit it for changes to take effect.Code:cvs -d /your/directory/CVSROOT init
Depending on which client you are using with CVS, it differ on how to do thing. Here is some manuals for working with CVS.

Excerpts from BBC article:o For many years, it was not clear exactly how the chemical worked, but recent research suggests that insects simply do not like the smell.Dr Logan explained: "We were able to record the response of the receptors on the antenna to Deet, and what we found was the mosquitoes were no longer as sensitive to the chemical, so they weren't picking it up as well.
I hardly use bug spray up here in the NE.. smells gross.. tastes worse.. not good for gear etc. a light long sleeve shirt, headnet and light pants go a lot further.
That's my summer plan. Long sleeves and long pants and sun gloves and a headnet. My past strategy was "get bitten."
That is very bad news. DEET is the one really effective mosquito repellant out there. Sure, Picaridin works in some regions (worked really well for me in the Sierra), but there are some areas (Costa Rica) where it is reputed not to work well.HJAdventures In Stoving
I've tried Deet in Panama and other areas with little or no success. Backwoods Off works the best for me but is not a UL option. I tried a mosquito patch last year and it worked, rather didn't work as expected; hopefully I won't grow a grapefruit sized tumor on my shoulder. I didn't realize until I was in Cambodia a couple years ago that there are thousands of mosquito sub species. It was nice to know that the species known to carry malaria were problematic at night but disappeared during the day (and weren't in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.) Didn't matter because the mosquito which flew around during the day (everywhere) carried Dengue Fever so you had to cover up either way. I've noticed that I don't react to the mosquito bites on the west coast but do on the east. With all of this rambling, the point I'm trying to make is that it's likely that the different species react to various bug repellents differently.
They certainly react to different concentrations.Above 70%, Deet works great - below 40%, not so muchWith Picaridin, the little ~5% vials are not effective, but the 15% spray works OK with lower numbers of skeeters. ditto for 30% lemon eucalyptus.In swarms, it is 100% deet and/or a headnet and clothing coverage.Don't hike in swarm season anymore, but when I did, stuck a burning mosquito coil and holder to the top of the trekking pole. It actually helped quite a lot - kept me sane.There was some buzz about catnip oil a few years back, but nothing developed.Tried everything else - none of it worked at all.
LOL @ Anna. Ah, I see what you did there! :)
"Ah, I see what you did there! :)"Haha... I missed that the first time around. Anna, as they say, GREAT minds think alike. :)
IMO, the BBC article, and especially its lead sentence, are misleading. The new study shows what happens on the time scale of hours due to a change in the responsiveness of the olfactory neurons. It's not going to be heritable. No evidence is presented that mosquitoes in the wild are becoming resistant to DEET. (Though they will probably will, eventually.)If anyone reads the PLOS publication (freely available online) differently, let's break it down.Best,Bill S.
Our beloved Link O'Leary rides again!
I have never seen an indication of this in the real world, including camping and canoeing and living in the north woods for now 25 or 30 years, at times dealing with intense mosquitos. I don't like deet, and use it as little possible, but it does work to reduce how many bites you get, and how badly you are swarmed.
Ben,I thought it was funny also we posted the same link at almost the same time in different posts:) And Hi Gary,Thank You.
I had luck with the Lemon Eucalyptus repellent in the Peruvian and Bolivian Amazon... My brother brought "Jungle Juice" and wound up with a melted Katadyn water filter.

We have a server with about 15GB of data to backup. I use a 20/40 DLT tape for this task. The backup needs about 2-3 hours which I think is quite ok.
Now comes the funny part. To verify that everything went ok, I tried to restore some files from the beginning of the backup. Now I'm sitting here for 1 hour and the restore process is still going. It seams like tar is reading the whole backup, only to extract a few files from the beginning.
Is this the way tar works? I thought that tar can extract files from the beginning of an archive without going through the whole archive.
Ah, and no, I'm not using the -z option on tar.

PAWTUCKET — There's light at the end of the tunnel as far as David Ross and his minor-league rehab assignment is concerned.
The veteran catcher is scheduled to be behind the plate for back-to-back nine-inning games for the PawSox on Friday and Saturday before visiting concussion specialist Dr. Micky Collins on Sunday.
If everything checks out accordingly, Ross would rejoin the Red Sox Monday night in San Francisco.
In the world of baseball transactions, what goes up must come down. If Ross is deemed back with Boston, the corresponding move would feature Ryan Lavarnway returning to Pawtucket.
Speaking Thursday at McCoy Stadium, Ross agreed when it was suggested that following a two-plus month stint that has seen Lavarnway by and large operate in the shadow of Jarrod Saltalamacchia, the 26-year-old could benefit from a trip to the minors.
"He'll be back up in September and we need him to be good. (The Red Sox) could use him to pinch hit off a lefty. However (Red Sox manager) John (Farrell) wants to use him, I don't know, but we definitely need him. He's a good young player," said Ross. "I think Ryan wants to play every day if he could and he'll get that chance (with Pawtucket).
"I know his personality and he wants to be the starter, and I don't fault him for that. You should want to," Ross continued. "But he's in a situation where that's not going to happen, not right now. There are still some things he needs to learn and Saltalamacchia is leading that team as well as anybody I've been around."
On the surface, life as a backup catcher seems ideal. You're the ultimate sports freeloader because your work schedule is loaded with off days. If a backup backstop appears more than twice during a seven-day period, that's considered a heavy workload.
Very rarely are backup catchers born with old souls. Ross, 36, is living proof of entering such a specialized society after enduring trials and tribulations as a young player.
After a couple of seasons that saw Ross show flashes of power – he slugged 37 home runs in 202 games for Cincinnati between 2006 and 2007 seasons – he started to have a change of heart. He recalls having a couple of one-year deals with possible starting gigs attached on the table after filing for free agency following the 2008 season, "which was nice, but Atlanta came in with a two-year deal."
The Braves also had a bonafide all-star catcher in Brian McCann. His presence allowed Ross, who was 32 when the 2009 season began, to come to grips that life as a reserve might not be the worst thing in the world.
"I had good years and bad years as a starter, so I decided that I was going to try the backup role in order to extend my career. At that point, security was important, but I no longer wanted to be in competition with the other catcher," Ross explained. "(McCann) was the man and one of the best in the game, and knowing that going in, it allowed me to come in and be a good teammate and not be mad if my name wasn't in the lineup. I would catch as needed."
Like many pro athletes, Ross doesn't handle failing well. Backing up McCann afforded him a chance to play and reflect on what went well and what areas need tightening up heading into his next starting assignment. More importantly, he knew he had a set-in-stone stone schedule that called for him to have multiple days away from the catching grind.
"I had a chance to figure out things," Ross said.
Ross signed with the Red Sox last offseason with the intent of providing Saltalamacchia with a breather when needed. Victimized by multiple concussion issues, Ross was moved to the 60-day disabled list in late June, a move that in turn meant Lavarnway would be in the majors for an extended stretch.
It also meant that he would serve as Saltalamacchia's understudy. He appeared in just eight Red Sox games in July, going 5-for-25. The current month has seen Lavarnway make three starts and total 13 at-bats heading into Thursday's game against Toronto.
In some respects, the sporadic playing time Lavarnway has received in Ross' absence has helped educate the 20-something about a life that the latter has been brushing up against for the past five seasons.
"Everybody has to pay their dues. Rarely does somebody come in and get a starting role, especially catching," said Ross. "I'm not a great player by any means, but I try to do what I do best and go from there.
"Everyone in this organization knows what Ryan Lavarnway can do. The thing is when you get an opportunity, you have to make the most of it," Ross continued. "The tough part is sitting around and understanding that you don't get a chance to get back out there. The hardest thing to do is to be a role player."
By the same token, Ross feels that young players need to resist the itch of becoming a pariah in the clubhouse.
"When you are (in the bigs), you have to do the best you can to help the team win, whatever that is," Ross said. "I judge my performance by wins while some go home at night and if they got two hits, that's how they judge.
"If you're on a winning team, everybody benefits. That includes money and time in the big leagues," Ross went on.
In due time, all of the perks that Ross mentioned could become Lavarnway's.
"(Saltalamacchia) is now getting a chance to play every day and look at what he's doing," Ross pointed out. "There's a lot of pressure on young players to perform, but you've just got to be patient and understand that your time will come."
