Second stop function at STOWA watch movements
The movement ETA 2801 (handwinding), ETA 2824-2, ETA 2836-2 as well as Valjoux 7753 (all automatic) are delivered from the manufacturer already with a second stop (after drawing the crown the second hand stops).
Originally the movements Unitas 6498 and Peseux 7001 (both movements are based on elder constructions) were not delivered with a second stop.
We do not offer a modification of those movements as the expenditure of costs and time is too high (though it is not impossible).
Normally such modificated movements are offered only by more expensive trade marks and we do not know a single watch in the price category of the STOWA collection which is offered with exactly this function.
Therefore we don't intend to produce our models AnteaKS starting at € 870,- and Marine Original starting at € 1.170,- with a second stop to maintain the excellent cost/performance ratio. A modification to second stop would increase the price of these watches considerably.
Our watch line Seatime and Prodiver is equipped with a screw down crown, in order to guarantee a water resistance, even in deeper water.
Other models of our collection have no screw down crown, as they are not designed for sport activities and diving.
The Seatime and Prodiver line is water resistant to 30ATM (Seatime) and 100ATM (Prodiver).
The ETA 2824 automatic movement is based on the ETA 2801 handwinding movement.
(this means at first the 2801 was build, and then upgraded to the automatic version
which is called 2824).
Therefore - as both movements are basically build with the same components - the quality
is equal.
Possibly the automatic movement has in the daily use a small advantage regarding accuracy as this watch is always completely winded up (when the watch is worn).
A handwinding movement looses after winding up step by step spring power which might have consequences for the accuracy.
This can only be slightly noticed at modern movements.
In earlier times handwinding movements with chronometer certificate were special quality movements.
With an automatic movement it is more easier to get the chronometer certificate as
the spring is always tensed due to the continuous winding.
The daily winding (for example always in the morning) can give the ETA 2801 so much "power" that it can reach the same accuracy as the automatic movement.
If you would lay both watches down side by side without wearing them, the accuracy will even be identical as the parts influencing the accuracy are exactly the same. (train, balance with spring, pallet fork, escape wheel etc.)
In the following you will find some detailed information regarding the quality of our
built-in watch movements.
Please keep in mind that these information are often very complicated for laymen.
As customers are asking more and more for the quality of the built-in springs, hair
springs etc. we would like to publish these things:

Comparison A10 to ETA 2824-2 and ETA 2892-2
The Soprod A10 has the same (flat) height as the ETA 2892-2. (both 3.60 mm)
Compared to the ETA 2824-2 it is about 1.00 mm flatter (height of ETA 2824-2 is 4.60 mm).
All 3 movements vibrate with 28800 half-vibrations per hour.
Therefore theoretically the power accuracy should be relative equal.
On the surface the SOPROD A10 differs insofar from the 2824-2 and 2892-2 that here we have chosen the very best
This is similar to the top- or chronometer versions which were built in former times and which were delivered against surcharges with visual upgrade.
Exposed to a shock with 4,43 m/s the deviation may not exceed 30 seconds per day.
The test is done with a pendulum unit. One shock frontal on the glass.
One shock on the case at 9 o'clock position.
After exposure to a magnetic field of 4800 A/m the rate change may not exceed 30 seconds per day.
Yes, we use sapphire crystals in our entire collection for the front crystal as well as for the case back. Selected models like our Prodiver and Marine automatic for example, are equipped with a solid case back.
We recommend to make a service on the movement every 4 to 5 years. Our full-movement service comprises the change of all case-gaskets and the lubrication of all stone jewels in the movement.
As a matter of course our watch makers service your watch.
In case of sending your watch for service, please send your watch to the address printed on our warranty card (small creme colour booklet).
Please frank the parcel. In case of a repair or service under warranty we of course pay for postage. Freight collect parcels are going to be returned to sender by our goods receipt.
Dear Customer,
you have bought a used STOWA watch first- or second-hand.
Basically the warranty claim of the original owner starting with the date of sale is passed over to the second- or third buyer.
In case that you have problems with your watch and you intend to send us the watch for service please send it at your own cost. Only after we have tested the watch for damages or incorrect use we can inform you on costs arising or a possible assumption of costs. Please be assured that we will do this always to your favour. Unfortunately some customers have made the experience that watches which came into the secondary market had no warranty time any more and did not function perfectly. For those watches we can not furnish any guarantee.
Of course we can do service required on these watches, also after many years. We would then submit you an estimate of costs.
Therefore when buying a used watch please look for the date of the first purchase and that the sales papers are complete.
Each STOWA watch is delivered with an original guarantee card containing besides the exact model description also the date of purchase.
Background to the Art Deco and Bauhaus Era
Art Deco (1920-1940) Bauhaus (1919-1933)
Art Deco is the shortened form of the French expression, "art décorative" (decorative art) and also the abbreviation for the first international exhibition of the new applied art, the "Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes" [International Exhibition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris (1925). Art Deco was an international creative movement which encompassed all aspects of life: architecture, art, and arts and crafts, film and cinematography, advertising, and fashion. In addition to the tremendous amount of artistic output, this period was also characterised by completely new developments.
Triggered by the enormous population growth, numerous tenement houses, schools, hospitals, town houses, warehouses, and railway stations sprung up. There was an increase in mobility. By the end of the Twenties there were already 36 million automobiles in the world. Luxury ocean cruisers on the North Atlantic route with huge ballrooms, swimming pools and elegant suites and salons, as well as the express trains meant that travel was taken for granted. The American Charles Lindberg made the first flight over the Atlantic in his small aeroplane, "The Spirit of Saint Louis". Advertising, photography and motion picture art began to influence the masses. From the beginning of the Twentieth Century, the shop sign was increasingly used as a way to advertise. It was the period between the two World Wars, with the Depression, the Wall Street Crash, inflation, financial need and growing fascism. It was also the most turbulent, the wildest, and the most exciting period in the history of art in that century.
After the emotionally evocative art nouveau with its floral, swirling stylistic elements, Art Deco, with its inspiration drawn from Cubism resulting in the geometrical, linear and functional style of the Esprit Nouveau, sought out the new. Popular motifs were circles, rectangles, or sunrises with decorative sunbeams using intense, and at times, aggressive colours. Animals, and women's bodies were preferred, as far as being inspired by Nature was concerned
The typical after-effects of times of considerable hardship after the end of the First World War were expressed in the need for luxury, opulence and beautiful, valuable items. Cabinetmakers used the finest wood, such as ebony and rosewood, lacquer and the finest leather and ivory and mother-of-pearl inlays. Ottomans came into style with a vengeance and lacquer and leather found their way into decorative items and pieces of furniture. The most ingenious furniture designer of the time was Émile-Jacques Ruhlmann, a resident of Paris, who took several months to work on a single one of his creations. The exquisite materials used were expensive, and his prices correspondingly high. The decline of hand-made craftsmanship was unavoidable given progressive nature of industrialisation.
The introduction of new materials, such as bakelite, plastic, and chrome of necessity gave birth to the search for a new style which was suitaed to mass production. Opulent designs made from rare and expensive materials, embodying the quality which comes from master craftmanship were copied later and cheap, mass-produced versions appeared on the market, the consequence of which being that Art Deco became a worldwide artistic phenomenon.
The realisation that good design increased sales gave a tremendous boost to the industry. Furniture designs of the time show a diverse range of forms and ideas using the new materials, including tubular steel. Marcel Breuer, who ran the BAUHAUS furniture workshop until 1928, constructed the first tubular steel chair in 1925. The technical innovation lay in transforming the original forms of a conventional upholstered chair to a light structure of welded tubular steel. Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto, developed a new furniture form, using flexible laminated plywood by taking advantage of the natural moisture of the Finnish birch. In effect, he transferred the structural ideas of the Bauhaus tubular steel furniture and applied them to wood. In 1935, he presented his first cantilevered chair in curved plywood.
Important developments occurred in the Twenties, particularly in the area of textile design, which was overwhelmingly influenced by the international reputation of the Wiener Werkstätten (the Vienna Workshop). The leading designer, Josef Hoffmann, developed a more geometrically orientated design from floral and curved stylistic elements. Hoffmann, as well as van de Velde, Behrens, Riemerschmid, and others created designs whose geometric or dynamic shapes were intended for industrial production from the outset. Yet, the time for their practical transformation had not yet come. The samples books of the Wiener Werkstätten contain some 18,000 designs for textiles of all kinds. Many of them are timeless and considered modern even now, and have had considerable influence on the design of today's carpet collections in particular. Even Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, Georges Braque, and Raoul Dufy were amongst the artists who created designs for tapestries, and decorative and upholstery fabrics.
The STOWA Antea design explained
Because there continue to be minor misconceptions surrounding the design of the STOWA Antea, we would like to offer some clarification on the matter. Objectively speaking, the whole matter is much simpler than many think.
In the Thirties even well-known watchmakers in Glashütte purchased their dials in Pforzheim. One example is the famous watchmaker Lange, who bought his dials in Pforzheim. It is mere coincidence that these dials had Werkbund and Bauhaus design features. (Hans Irrek describes this two-thirds down page 18 of the Design Classics book, "The Tangente from NOMOS Glashütte".).
This fact has been confirmed by STOWA, as it has by many other people (including the son and long time manager of what was at the time the largest dial factory in the world). Back then, and even as recently as well into the Eighties, there were very few companies who made a habit of patenting the design of their watches! (I still remember my visits to the Pforzheim dial factory, where dials were always on sale, and orders with the brand names of all sorts of companies imprinted on them. Certainly, at the beginning of the Nineties, no one was as sensitive about the issue as they are today.) It was only in the Nineties, and primarily because the watch industry experienced a boom, that more and more companies realised that a distinct proprietary design is very valuable and should be protected – and this is something that we at STOWA are in complete agreement with. Yet, there are still companies who unearth an old design and patent it under their name. One might think this reprehensible, but this is not the case. Legislation states that things which have fallen "into oblivion", or have been relegated to "the forgotten past", can indeed be rediscovered and can be patented. The only thing is that the question, "When does something fall into oblivion?" poses a big problem for everyone. There have been cases in law, however, where applications to register a design patent have been approved, whilst others have not been clear-cut at all, and have not even "fallen into oblivion" yet. Nevertheless, the decision will always be a difficult one for the jurist to make. Because I am researching further into the subject of the origin of precisely those dials referred to in this question, I sometimes wonder who actually did design the dials that we, or other watchmakers, are currently using.
It hardly matters which firm did design these dials, because the designs themselves simply do not belong exclusively to any one company; rather, they came into being during a particular era in the dial industry in Pforzheim and Switzerland.
I was digging more deeply into the material, and I have been researching for months in an attempt to find the actual designer of these dials. He must have lived and worked somewhere in Pforzheim. This is exciting! Besides, the modus operandi of many existing and former dial factories is and was much the same. There would have been a creative or design department, which would show their dial collections to the watchmakers several times a year. The watchmakers (amongst whom there are some very successful brands today) selected their dials and ordered them with their name on them, with possibly very minor changes being made to them by the dial manufacturer. Having said that, it has to be quite clearly stated that the former designers in the dial factories started the trend – in the watch industry, anyway. It is only today that the design of watches and dials has become a particularly important and large part of the watch industry. I hope my observations above have brought some clarity to the matter. There are so many other things that still ought to be said on this subject. Many watch collectors are nevertheless are familiar with the countless watches from the Thirties, which all drew on the same design vocabulary, and today many companies use them as a basis for new models.
Create new things, with a touch of the old in mind.
Part of the STOWA philosophy
Jörg Schauer
(Designer and Producer of all current STOWA watches)
Sometimes there are discussions about the "Country of Origin" of STOWA watches and other watchbrands.
We at STOWA want to be open as always.
Already in the year 2007 an article in the german watchmagazine Armbanduhren was published.
(in the reason of the 80th. Anniversary of the STOWA Brand)
It was the result of a interview Jörg Schauer gave to Armbanduhren.
Martin Häussermann(Journalist) and Jörg Schauer talked about the marketing and philosophy of STOWA.:
"Even under Schauer's aegis, these have been turbulent times for Stowa, with a lot of pressure being exerted on prices.The young team in Engelsbrand has managed to release this pressure in two ways: on the one hand, Schauer has been systematically and successfully looking for component manufacturers with a more favourable pricing structure, including those in the Far East, he admits. On the other hand, he emphasised that "80 percent of the value of Stowa watches is created in Europe". The company's marketing policy has been changed as well: from a traditional brand to direct sales. Schauer has been selling Stowa almost exclusively on-line for almost three years now (www.stowa.com) or directly from his workshop. Stowa watches have become clearly cheaper as a result of more favourable purchasing terms and the elimination of dealer profit margins."
The triangle on position 12 o'clock is the distinctive mark of the Flieger watch. It is not known why this mark has been used.
Originally it was used on the German B-watches, later also for Flieger watch models world wide.
Probably is was introduced for a better clearness of display and belongs today - often amended by the two points on the
right and on the left - to the typical mark of this watch type. Frequently it is the only evidence for a Flieger watch.

|editThird Hoshikage
|三代目星影 Sandaime Hoshikage
|Naruto Episode #180
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
|Ninja Rank
The Third Hoshikage (三代目星影, Sandaime Hoshikage, Literally meaning: Third Star Shadow) was the previous leader of Hoshigakure.
When the Third learned of the side effects of the star training after Natsuhi and Hotarubi were caught trying to steal the meteor, he banished the two for their attempted burglary but promised to forbid the star training. Before they left, they asked the Third to tell their son, Sumaru, that they died for their country and not to mourn for their loss.
A while later, Akahoshi, Shisō, and Yotaka came to the Third's temple and begged for him to allow the continuation of the star training. However, the Third refused to do so, saying that he couldn't risk all of Hoshi's ninja dying because of it. Angered at his refusal, Akahoshi ordered his minions to murder the Third and take his position of power.
The Third Hoshikage was a honourable, kindhearted, elderly man with a great love and pride for his village and the wellbeing of his subordinates, not allowing for them to participate in the harmful star training. He also showed himself to be encouraging of children, as when he told Sumaru to look at the stars above Hoshigakure, calling them treasures. He was also very conscious about his tasks as leader, thinking long and hard of what to do about the star training before Natsuhi and Hotarubi stole it.
Despite him not being seen in combat, him being elected Kage (even in the eyes of his village only) speaks of prowess and being capable of holding onto the title even with two powerful ninja like Natsuhi and Hotarubi in the village, proves that he was very skilled while alive.
- (To Sumaru) "Don't cry, Sumaru. Your parents protected the star and this village bravely."
- (To Sumaru) "Sumaru, look up at the sky. Those are the treasures you can only see from Hoshigakure. If you want to become a shinobi who protects the star, who protects this village… Then become strong! just like your mother and father. Okay?"
- (To Natsuhi and Hotarubi) "Hotarubi, Natsuhi… Your crimes are grave, I had a hard time deciding this, but… I was unable to do what is best in my position as Hoshikage. Let's make a promise, I will suspend the star training, but someday the star's loyal group may try to revive that training. You two, depart from the village! I want you to protect the village from the outside. And then if someday the star training begins again, please stop it with your power."

Law requires hospitals to have care plan for rape victims
States beginning to increase forensic exam access
In 1993, at the age of 20, Kate Rush-Cook said she became a statistic.
"I was kidnapped, robbed and repeatedly raped by a man I had never seen before."
That night, Rush-Cook became one of the 237,868 victims, the U.S Department of Justice estimates are sexually assaulted in the United States each year.
It's quite possibly the most traumatizing event in a victim's life.
"A lot of people don't want to speak about it and there's a lot of shame around it," Rush-Cook said.
When a person is sexually assaulted, a clock immediately starts ticking for evidence collection.
"It's very scary," Rush-Cook said. "You've just been through probably one of the most, I think it's the most, horrific things that can ever happen."
More than 20 years after the horrific event, Rush-Cook tells her story as a survivor. She was just 20 years old when she was kidnapped, repeatedly raped and strangled. Later that same night came the exams and the rape kit.
"(You) have your body plucked and swabbed," Rush-Cook said. "Every piece of your clothing is taken from you: your socks, your shoes, your underwear, your shirt, your pants....a lot of people don't realize that."
The exam Rush-Cook described is a medical forensic exam. It's the next step in ensuring physical safety for the victim and making sure evidence is properly collected for a potential future conviction of the attacker. It incorporates special training and is administered by A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner -- or a SANE.
The exam can seem intense and intrusive for victims. It includes a medical forensic history, a detailed physical and emotional assessment, written and photographic documentation of injuries, collection and management of forensic samples, and providing emotional and social support and resources, according to the International Association of Forensic Nurses.
"The exams are especially important in stranger rapes," Greg Bernstein, Baltimore City State's Attorney said. "They (SANEs) do it in a safe, secure environment. They know how to maintain the chain of custody and the evidence; so, that's where they become enormously important."
Having a sufficient forensic exam is not always as easy as showing up at the nearest hospital Emergency Room.
"I was in a ride-along with a firefighter and we got a call from someone who was raped and taken to the wrong hospital," Maryland state lawmaker Ariana Kelly said. "They were taken to the local hospital that I knew was not the hospital that provided sexual assault services."
Access to care
The American Hospital Association estimates there are more than 5,700 registered hospitals across the country.
IAFN estimates there are little more than 700 forensic SANE programs in the United States.
Carey Goryl, CEO of IAFN, said that means about 13 percent of hospitals in the U.S. might have a forensic nurse on staff part of the time. In rural areas, it means the likelihood of a victim finding easy access to these services can be difficult.
"The public really would be appalled at the lack of qualified providers available to them if they were to become a victim of sexual assault, domestic violence, elder abuse or child abuse," Goryl said. "And with what we know about the long term health consequences of violence, it's a shame our health system hasn't rallied behind the hard work of forensic nurses and our few forensic physician colleagues as well."
IAFN is an international professional membership organization comprised of 3,000 members around the world. Along with setting guidelines for training and education requirements for forensic nurses and SANEs, the agency tracks where SANE and a Sexual Assault Response Teams are located. A SART is usually made up of a SANE, a victim advocate and a member of a law enforcement agency. The team also will work to develop a close relationship with prosecutors and the state's attorney's office in their areas.
There is not a national tracking agency or registration service for SANE services in the United States, according to Goryl. To make up for it IAFN collects information about SANE program locations. Their database is voluntary and self-reported.

SANE and SART programs across the country depend heavily on grants and partnerships with hospitals and government entities. According to Goryl, forensic nurses do this work as a part of a second job a majority of the time; working as nurses in a health setting by day and on-call by night.
"There has been a tremendous burden placed on the compassion and charity of nurses who want to do the right thing for people who have been victimized," Goryl said. "There has also been a general unwillingness by healthcare as a whole to want to take accountability for providing (what we think is) a basic standard of care -- a medical forensic exam by someone who has done more than read the directions in the box."
In Maryland, there is about one hospital per county that has specialized nurses on staff that can provide the right exams.
"It still horrifies me," Goryl said. "I've been doing this for 20 years. It's shocking to me that if you don't know the rules, if you don't know the inside system, you're probably not going to get a forensic nurse. Not yet at least."
Not a one-stop shop
A new law in Maryland aims to cut back on what some are calling a 'flawed' system. HB 963, requires all Maryland hospitals to have a protocol on how to handle rape victims who walk through any hospital ER door.
"In some cases, rape victims would be turned away and told, 'you need to go to this other hospital down the road,' and there was no process in place for getting them there seamlessly in a supportive way," Maryland State Delegate Kelly said. "In other cases, they might've been treated by a provider who was not well trained to provide that treatment to do the forensic exam."
Kelly, a rape survivor herself, sponsored the bill and says for a rape victim the mere fact of being told you can't be treated at the hospital where you showed up could mean turning away altogether.
Monica, a Baltimore rape victim, has lived a version of the worst case scenario Kelly detailed.
"The whole hospital situation was shocking because I was sitting there traumatized and nobody was helping me," she said.
Monica said she was attacked in 2012. She said she didn't know where to go, so she ended up waiting hours in a Maryland hospital, never getting the forensic exam she needed. Eventually, Monica said she went to a DC hospital, the day after her rape.
"If someone comes in for a rape kit or someone comes in for anything at a hospital," Monica said. "They need to be seen."
Under the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act, hospitals essentially have to provide access to emergency services to the public regardless of ability to pay. It's known as the "patient anti-dumping law." Under this act, put into place by Congress in 1986, hospitals are required to stabilize the patient. If a hospital cannot stabilize a patient with their tools and resources then a transfer is implemented.
Experts said emergency rooms across the country, even those considered top notch, aren't equipped with the dedicated staff and equipment to do these specific sexual assault exams. As a result, victims may be transported to another facility or simply sent on their way, opening victims up to potentially bail on the exam altogether.
The U.S. Department of Justice estimates 60 percent of sexual assaults go unreported to police. Victim advocates and law enforcement officers argue making emergency care more accessible and comprehensive could change that.
"The last thing we need to be doing is creating a system that ends up punishing a victim of a crime or putting a burden on the victim of a crime to get the healthcare and medical services they need," Kelly said.
State regulations
Right now, in Maryland and most other states, a local hospital unofficially becomes the designated as the "SANE Hospital."
Goryl said, this means first responders in the community work together to transfer sexual assault patients to that facility with trained examiners. "It's not a perfect system, but it reduces the number of sexual assault patients seen by an ER physician or nurse who has had no additional training on the medical forensic exam. It's good for everyone when patients are seen by trained examiners."
Research supports Goryl. More than 500 audits were completed by crime laboratory analysts on sexual assault evidence kits submitted to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation from October 1999 to April 2002.
Evidence kits collected by SANEs were more likely to have a completed chain of custody, properly sealed individual specimen envelopes, to have the appropriate amount of pubic hair and head hair, include the appropriate number of blood tubes, the appropriate amount of swabs and include a vaginal fluid slide than those collected by non-SANE professionals.
Despite this research, an analysis by E.W. Scripps Company reporters shows 10 states have laws mandated by legislation relating to SANEs and hospital service requirements for sexual assault victims. Those laws range from establishing requirements for SANEs (Vermont and Kentucky) to setting up pilot SANE programs (Illinois) to requiring counties to have SANE/SART programs or alternative solutions in place (New Jersey and Indiana).
The analysis by Scripps reporters looked at state laws mandating SANE/SART programs, SANE certification and hospital or county sexual assault response plans. Reporters found that while a lot of state attorney general offices or victims services departments had policies in place addressing the issues, most are not mandated or backed by legislation.
The analysis also found that while some states will have SANE/SART or forensic nurse committees or associations overseeing education and training requirements for these professionals, Kentucky is one of few states that has legislated a SANE credential.
In most states the credentials of a SANE are monitored by the state board of nursing and are not mandated by any state law. Almost all of the state boards or designated programs/committees look to IAFN for training recommendations and continuing education requirements.
Since Sept. 1, 2013, all Texas hospitals with emergency rooms have been required to have staff trained in basic forensic evidence collection. This training is not the same as the training required for a SANE. In Texas, having a SANE is an enhancement, not a requirement for hospitals.
To become a SANE, it usually requires 40 hours of classroom training followed by hands-on clinical training and then being precepted with a physician or qualified medical professional.
On average the 40 hours of training costs around $2,000 and continuing education will cost about $350, two years after becoming a SANE and then every three years after that, according to Goryl.
Goryl said the Texas law has, at the least, started a great conversation.
"What they did in Texas is being looked at in other states and it's getting people to look at, 'What do you mean I can't go to any hospital and get a medical forensic exam?' And that's a great question."
For prosecutors, putting an alleged rapist behind bars depends on developing a solid relationship with the victim. Through the examination process, SANEs can develop an emotional and personal connection that can provide law enforcement with valuable information, Bernstein said.
"Not only are they conducting the physical examination but they're getting information from the victim about the offense itself," he said. "They're getting statements, narratives that tell us what happened."
For victims, the exam process and care can be very critical to their survival.
"There are so many things that can devastate you down the road and retraumatize you if they're not done properly," Rush-Cook said. "I left wearing somebody else's clothes and the little footies they gave me at the hospital."
A step backward for hospitals?
While the Maryland law isn't a "one size fits all," it is one of the first in the country to require hospitals to have a plan in place to properly respond to sexual assault victims.
Every hospital in the state has to submit their plan of action by July 1. A planning committee will review the protocols and decide whether the plan is acceptable and perhaps what recommendations for changes need to be made.
In Maryland, a hospital's protocol could be simply transporting the victim to the right location. And although everyone wants the best for the victims, not everyone sees eye to eye on the new law in Maryland.
"If that hospital is two hours away in traffic, it's not going to change things right away," Goryl said.
"I really feel it's a step backward and right now we already have a good plan and process in place that's been working well since 2006," said Dr. Cynthia Buchman Webb, head of the ER Department at Medstar Union Memorial in Baltimore.
Medstar Union Memorial is a hospital that typically doesn't perform sexual assault exams. They have a plan in place to complete a medical screening then provide the transportation to a designated hospital.
"Once we explain the fact of all of the resources they (the victims) have and that the best place to have that forensic exam done is with a specialist, then they understand why we're doing it and they do not have a problem," Dr. Buchman said.
She said they only see a handful of sexual assault victims each year so changing their policies and perhaps training their own staff might not be as beneficial as continuing to send victims to a hospital specifically focusing on sexual assault cases.
"It's not so much the cost, because, again, it's a pretty rare event," she said. "It's more the collection of that evidence. So, if you're not used to doing it, that collection of evidence and that chain of command it's very difficult to remember all of the details and all of the steps that have to take place."
Delegate Kelly says since the rape kits are federally funded, it's really no added cost to the state of Maryland. The Violence Against Women Act, reauthorized in 2013, provides some federal funds for state sexual assault programs and services.
The Iowa Department of Public Health used some funding from VAWA to update the protocol for sexual assault forensic and medical examination.
Just this year, in Colorado, Memorial Hospital, University of Colorado Health assumed responsibility of the Colorado state SANE/SAFE Project using federal funds. The project will provide statewide SANE/SAFE education to all of the programs in Colorado based on IAFN, SANE education guidelines.
For Delegate Kelly, the new law in Maryland, is a step in the right direction. A way to get the word out about where to go, or simply how to help.
"It was just incredibly frustrating for me to know that system, which wants to help people, wasn't able to do so because of these administrative and procedural roadblocks," she said. "It was clear to me that it was the system that needed to be changed, not the people who are on the ground trying to help the folks who need help."
Goryl says the issue goes beyond just how the healthcare system is handling rape victims. According to her, forensic nurses are needed, full-time, full-staff and at every hospital.
"Forensic nurses, the skills that they have, are really universal to all victims of crime," Goryl said. "Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, hurt by your partner, whether you've been hurt by a parent, a dog bite, a slip and fall, all of these things there's a criminal justice component and a medical component. And when you marry the two you want a forensic nurse to be there."

Strict scrutiny is a form of judicial review that courts use to determine the constitutionality of certain laws. To pass strict scrutiny, the legislature must have passed the law to further a "compelling governmental interest," and must have narrowly tailored the law to achieve that interest. A famous quip asserts that strict scrutiny is "strict in name, but fatal in practice."
For a court to apply strict scrutiny, the legislature must either have significantly abridged a fundamental right with the law's enactment or have passed a law that involves a suspect classification. Suspect classifications have come to include race, national origin, religion, alienage, and poverty.
Compare to intermediate scrutiny and rational basis.

Oh, Vitale knows...

www.widerightnattylite.com/ - All the news on the team that gives you fits
Have you guys ever gone back and watched Vitale do a game, say, 10 years ago? He was knowledgeable, insightful, and solid. I don't know what happened. Now, he's awful.** He's a shameless promoter of every player that he decides is elite in the pre-season (without changing his opinions over the course of a season), and of every team that is a traditional power. And even as a Kansas fan, a traditional power that he regularly pimps, it's f-ing obnoxious.
**I've for a few years now wanted to start an e-mail campaign to ESPN's advertisers, telling them that when Dickie V is talking, my TV is on mute (which, 90% of the time, is absolutely true). I usually don't watch ads, but my TV is still on, so I'm hearing them. But when my TV is on mute, I'm not watching or listening to ads, meaning the advertisers are wasting their money on me during Vitale's games. I assume I'm not alone in this regard.
However, this list isn't THAT bad. A few players may be off by a team or two, but that's how opinions work. I seriously doubt Collins AND Aldrich will end up being 1st team AA. I bet Ed Davis ends up on one of the top 3 teams. I think Greivis Vasquez is vastly overrated. Vitale also split everything up by position, so instead of thinking Brackins is behind 15 other players, it's more like he's behind 3 other PFs (typically a position with the most solid depth in CBB**). Voters don't always do it by position at the end of a season.
**You recall that Aldrich, Brackins, Carroll, and Griffin were all bigs and were all 1st Team All-Big 12 last season)
He has never been to Hilton for a game. In all his years at ESPN he has never been to Hilton. He doesnt care about ISU.
The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have--and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. - Paul Heyne
You are lucky he never has been to Hilton. He sucks.
Im just sick of everyone on the Cole Aldrich bandwagon.... Hes not that good.
He moves pretty good for a big guy and blocks lots of shots and changes twice as many as he blocks. Plus he really goes after rebounds and even though his shot looks terrible it goes in quite a bit and he seems to have some pretty good range for his size. He could work on his offense, but I think people are ranking him on potential more than current ability.

Ahh...he is alright. Though when he takes a jump shot....you know, with that stupid delivery.....I just want to punch things when that ugly thing goes in.
So because he's ranked higher on a FOX webpage automatically makes him wrong? Just sayin.

4th Team?? Are you kidding me. Thanks for the laugh Mr. Vitale, now go back and do some research on the players based on their talent and not the relationship you have with the coach's of the players named ahead of Craig.

Yes. Averaging a double-double, shooting 60%, and being the 2nd option on a team favored to win it all next year is not good at all.
I don't drink the Kool-Aid, and I am done making excuses. Only keeping it real...

There are always two ways to look at that.
Would he put up Brackins like numbers if the two were switched? Would ISU win more if they had Cole and not Brackins?

Proposal would open limited number of bears to deer hunters
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Deer hunters in West Virginia's mountain counties might soon have another quarry available to them:
State wildlife officials have proposed a regulation that, if approved, would allow properly licensed deer hunters in 19 counties to kill a bear if one should happen by. The Division of Natural Resources' Chris Ryan called the proposal "a drastic change."
"If this regulation is approved as we proposed it, 29 counties - more than 50 percent of the counties in the state - would have buck gun seasons with concurrent bear hunting," Ryan said. "Last year we had just 10. It's quite a difference."
The proposal might not sit well with bear-hunting enthusiasts, who are accustomed to having the bears in those counties pretty much to themselves.
When DNR biologists described the proposal at last Sunday's meeting of the state Natural Resources Commission, one unidentified and obviously irate bear hunter spoke up and accused the agency of "giving the bears to the [expletive] deer hunters."
Ryan said that wasn't the DNR's aim at all, and added that agency officials would prevent deer hunters from killing too many bears by issuing only a limited number of permits within each county.
"Hunters will have to apply for the permits, just as they do for antlerless-deer permits in counties where those are limited," he explained. "The number of permits issued in each county will be based on the number of bears we want to have killed. We want to control the bear population in those counties, but we don't want to [have overkill]."
DNR officials have had trouble controlling populations in those counties because hunters during the traditional December firearm season tend to kill more males than females, mainly because many females have gone into hibernation by then. The proposed deer-bear season would allow hunters to kill bears at a time of year when females are still active.
The 19 counties would include Barbour, Braxton, Clay, Grant, Greenbrier, Hardy, Lewis, Mercer, Mineral, Monroe, Nicholas, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Randolph, Summers, Taylor, Tucker, Upshur and Webster.
Colin Carpenter, the DNR's bear project leader, said permits for those counties would not be made available until September, when agency officials have conducted their annual mast survey and know how much food would be available to bears and other wildlife.
"In years when mast is abundant, bears tend to hibernate later. When mast is scarce, they hibernate sooner," he explained.
The current plan is for DNR officials to announce the number of available permits between mid- and late-September, and to conduct a random drawing for those permits not long afterward.
The agency's biologists also proposed to create a three-day mid-October firearm season for bears and do away with the unpopular six-day September firearm season.
"We think bear hunters will like that proposal," Ryan said. "They didn't like the September season because of the heat. This proposal moves that early firearm hunt back three weeks, when it should be cooler and not put as much stress on the hunters, their dogs or the bears."
The September season will remain in effect for eight southern counties where bears are especially abundant.
"We kept the September season down there in an attempt to focus hunters' attention down south, where the bag limit is two bears instead of the usual one," Ryan said.
Hunters will have a chance to comment on the proposed changes at a series of 12 public meetings held throughout the state. DNR officials have scheduled the meetings for March 18 and 19. Members of the state Natural Resources Commission will vote on the proposal at their late-April quarterly meeting.

text: Unlike still hunting, stalking is used when a hunter is following fresh game or animal signs, or has seen game in the distance. These signs might be fresh tracks in the dirt or leaves; they could also be scat or rub lines along a known game trail. If a hunter spots game animals in the distance, the stalking technique helps him or her to move closer and set up for a safe shot. Stalking requires the same approach used by still hunting. A hunter moves very slowly, facing the wind and being mindful of footing to avoid breaking twigs or slipping.

[♪ Music ♪] [CS6] My name is Tom Purbric, and I'm the boardshort designer for Quiksilver in Australia, and I've been working here for the past 2 years. Yes, I'm loving it. It's really good. My name is Chris Carry. My special [inaudible]. [Chris Carey] [Photographer, Quiksilver Australia] My earliest memories, there wasn't even a shopfront, and they had a small room that you'd walk into and ring a bell or whatever, and someone would come out to the counter, and you'd tell them what fabric you wanted in which part of the boardshort, and you'd come back in a couple of weeks, and they'd have a pair of board shorts made up for you. They were famous worldwide, even back then. They were the boardshort. My name is Aaron Cardwell. I work here at Quiksilver. My favorite product would have to be the boardshorts. [Aaron Cardwell] [Digital Manager, Quiksilver Australia] They started making boardshorts here 40 years ago, and they're still making them here today, which is pretty inspirational. I guess it's just the thought that all you need to go surfing is a pair of boardshorts and a surfboard. Yeah, we get our design inspiration from pretty much everywhere, surfing or whether it be out and about shopping or even reading magazines or watching a surf video. But, I mean, a lot of the time we get our inspiration from within these walls. The whole of the office is lined with Quiksilver original prints and graphics from when Quiksilver started, so you don't have to go very far to be inspired, that's for sure. Adobe products have helped us be creative and not have to think about how do I do that? A lot of things look different on different devices and different screens, whether it's a video or a Facebook page, so what works really well on my files is nice, tight crops, so I use Photoshop to get in and do that. A couple of years ago I visualized this shot at the Quiksilver Pro, because it's very hard using the focal length cameras that you're actually using in the water to get tight action. I was going to shoot a surfer doing a turn from the back of a wave, preferably Kelly, and he'd just be on a ski because he falls down, and a lot of the wave would have blocked out the crowd, so I needed to be up just that little bit higher. I got the shot of Kelly doing a turn pretty well straightaway. I took a sequence of shots over the crowd. I suggested to Shannon that we try and put this thing together, and he did the Photoshop work. The crowd shots that I took that were on their own were sharper than the shot of Kelly with the crowd in the background, so he blurred out the crowd, stitching and superimposing and fading and doing everything that was possible in Photoshop. They ended up with this one big beautiful panoramic shot that ended up being one of the most requested shots of the Quiksilver Pro. For me as a photographer Adobe helps translate by pulling the best out of an image. The design room is pretty much just a little art room where we can make a mess and do whatever we want in it. We can crank up the music and close the doors and get the spray paints out and inks and brushes or whatever and just get loose with art. We do a lot of stuff by hand, and there is a lot of the hand element still done and an organic sort of way of doing things, but at some point it has to come into the computer, and it has to go through an Adobe product before it becomes a Quiksilver product.

Rasmussen recognizes that "usual" gas logs are not for everyone. Many people have homes with modern or contemporary decor in which logs would be out of place. This led us to introduce FireBalls 25 years ago and, in more recent years, FireStones and FireShapes. Our latest innovations are vent-free versions of these alternative styles. In recognition of the increasing desire for these alternative styles, Rasmussen has created ALTERNA as our brand-name for our vented and vent-free versions of FireBalls, FireShapes and FireStones.
Each of the objects in the ALTERNA line are made from the same fire-proof material from which we make our gas logs. The objects are available in a variety of colors. Vented sets are intended for use with our Custom Pan Burner and/or Custom Embers Pan Burner. Vent-free sets have their own special chassis/burner/control assembly for each type. ALTERNA vented sets can be outfitted with our "EASY" control systems; ALTERNA vent-free sets are available with either black or stainless steel chassis, and are equipped standard with "EASY" controls.
FireGlitter™ is the first gas fire that combines reflective glass and stainless steel into a retrofit heating appliance for installation into virtually any woodburning or vent-free fireplace. Its certification to both the vented and ventfree standards permits it to be installed with the damper open, closed or anyplace in-between, in virtually all jurisdictions. The control system allows for upgrading in-place from a manual control to a variety of remote control options. The controls are hidden from view so as not to detract from the contemporary design. The variety of glass colors provides options to complement the color scheme of the fireplace and room. Use without glass for a FireLine effect.

43 U.S. Code § 1181f - Oregon and California land-grant fund; annual distribution of moneys
prev | next
On and after March 1, 1938, all moneys deposited in the Treasury of the United States in the special fund designated the "Oregon and California land-grant fund" shall be distributed annually as follows:
(a) Fifty per centum to the counties in which the lands revested under the Act of June 9, 1916 (39 Stat. 218), are situated, to be payable on or after June 30, 1938, and each year thereafter to each of said counties in the proportion that the total assessed value of the Oregon and California grant lands in each of said counties for the year 1915 bears to the total assessed value of all of said lands in the State of Oregon for said year, such moneys to be used as other county funds: Provided, however, That for the purposes of this subsection the portion of the said revested Oregon and California railroad grant lands in each of said counties which was not assessed for the year 1915 shall be deemed to have been assessed at the average assessed value of the grant lands in said county.
(b) Twenty-five per centum to said counties as money in lieu of taxes accrued or which shall accrue to them prior to March 1, 1938, under the provisions of the Act of July 13, 1926 (44 Stat. 915), and which taxes are unpaid on said date, such moneys to be paid to said counties severally by the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, upon certification by the Secretary of the Interior, until such tax indebtedness as shall have accrued prior to March 1, 1938, is extinguished.
From and after payment of the above accrued taxes said 25 per centum shall be accredited annually to the general fund in the Treasury of the United States until all reimbursable charges against the Oregon and California land-grant fund owing to the general fund in the Treasury have been paid: Provided, That if for any year after the extinguishment of the tax indebtedness accruing to the counties prior to March 1, 1938, under the provisions of Forty-fourth Statutes, page 915, the total amount payable under subsection (a) of this section is less than 78 per centum of the aggregate amount of tax claims which accrued to said counties under said Act for the year 1934, there shall be additionally payable for such year such portion of said 25 per centum (but not in excess of three-fifths of said 25 per centum), as may be necessary to make up the deficiency. When the general fund in the Treasury has been fully reimbursed for the expenditures which were made charges against the Oregon and California land-grant fund said 25 per centum shall be paid annually, on or after September 30, to the several counties in the manner provided in subsection (a) of this section.
(c) Twenty-five per centum to be available for the administration of sections 1181a to 1181f of this title, in such annual amounts as the Congress shall from time to time determine. Any part of such per centum not used for administrative purposes shall be covered into the general fund of the Treasury of the United States: Provided, That moneys covered into the Treasury in such manner shall be used to satisfy the reimbursable charges against the Oregon and California land-grant fund mentioned in subsection (b) of this section so long as any such charges shall exist.
