OCDC - Washington County earns safety recognition
Oregon Child Development Coalition, Inc. joins SHARP
(Salem) – Oregon OSHA welcomes the Oregon Child Development Coalition, Inc. (OCDC) in
SHARP provides an incentive for Oregon employers to work with their employees to find and correct hazards, develop and implement effective safety and health programs, and continuously improve. The ultimate goal of SHARP is to encourage employers to become self-sufficient in managing workplace safety and health issues. Currently, about 61 employer locations in Oregon participate in SHARP, in addition to approximately 100 facilities that have graduated from the program.
OCDC, a private, not-for-profit company, provides Head Start and Oregon pre-kindergarten early childhood education services for low-income and disadvantaged children. Many of the services OCDC offers are for Migrant and Seasonal Head Start, which serves low-income families who obtain at least 50 percent of their income from agricultural work. Family and health services are also provided, including parent education and medical and dental care for children. While OCDC's work is year round, it peaks in the summertime when many families go to Washington County to do agricultural work. OCDC employs 241 people in its four separate Washington County locations.
"The SHARP process helped us put safety and health into proper perspective," said Donalda Dodson, OCDC's executive director. "OCDC has always placed a high priority on safety, particularly children's safety. SHARP made us look closer at the safety and well-being of our employees, placing it on equal footing with our mission and child safety. The two are inextricably linked."
Participation in SHARP does not eliminate regulatory enforcement, although SHARP participants do receive a limited exemption from programmed inspections. Employees retain all workplace safety and health rights contained in the Oregon Safe Employment Act. Oregon employers that have been in business for more than one year are eligible to apply for SHARP regardless of size or type of business.
Oregon OSHA, a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, enforces the state's workplace safety and health rules and works to improve workplace safety and health for all Oregon workers. For more information, go to www.orosha.org.

Cyclones Win Tug-Of-War With Red Raiders
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (19-22, 4-6 Big 12) was the last team standing on Friday after the Cyclones and Texas Tech (27-21, 1-9 Big 12) combined for four lead changes as the Cyclones went on to win, 6-5, stretching their home win streak to five games.
Sophomore Lexi Slater drove in the final two runs, including the winning run, for Iowa State on a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the sixth inning after the Red Raiders took a 5-4 lead in the top half of the frame.
With stolen bases from Maddie Reese (2) and Sarah Hawryluk in the contest, Iowa State improves to 69 stolen bases this season, the second-most in Cyclone history and one shy of the program record.
Senior Tori Torrescano (10-9) recorded her 10th win of the season, working six-plus innings in the circle and allowing five runs, four earned, on eight Red Raider hits. Torrescano walked six and fanned five.
Taylor Smith (2) entered with two runners on in the seventh inning to close out the win for her second save of the season.
An error by the Red Raiders in the bottom of the first put Reese on base and set Erica Miller up for an RBI-single to right center for a 1-0 lead for the home team, but the lead would not last long as the Cyclones committed their own error in the next half inning, allowing the tying run to score.
After two quick outs in the top of the third, Tech third baseman Adriana Perez lifted a shot over the wall in right field for a 3-1 Red Raider lead. Perez was 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI for Tech in the series opener.
The Cyclones would rally for a one-run lead in the fourth when, after back-to-back walks to Aly Cappaert and Hally Lenzine and an out from Slater, Brittany Gomez doubled to drive in Hawryluk, pinch running for Cappaert. Gomez and Madison Jones, running for Lenzine, also crossed home plate, scoring on an error by the Red Raiders.
Mikey Kenney and Shelby Johnson had back-to-back RBI hits for the visitors in the top of the sixth, putting Tech back on top, 5-4, but the Cyclones rallied once again, scoring two runs in the bottom of the frame on an RBI-single off the bat of Slater to pull ahead going into the final inning.
Texas Tech started the seventh with a double from Sandy James and a walk to Perez. Smith entered the circle to face Lexie Elkins who hit a grounder to Cyclone infielder Sara Davison. Davison tagged out the runner going to second and threw to Cappaert at first, completing the double play. The Red Raiders' last hope, Samantha Camello, grounded out the Cappaert at first for the final out of the game.
Iowa State and Texas Tech will be back in action at noon CDT on Saturday at the Cyclone Sports Complex.

Aging is most prominent and obvious around the eyes. This is because of the exceptionally thin skin that is especially vulnerable to lines and creases as well as loss of elasticity. June Jacobs Eye Products are specially formulated to treat the delicate skin around the eye area, correcting and preventing common concerns. This makes June Jacobs Eye Products one of the most important components in a results oriented skin care regimen. The eyes are particularly vulnerable to flaws with the passing of time. Thin skin becomes plagued with fine lines and deeper creases around the edges of the eyes, commonly called crow's feet. June Jacobs Eye Products smooth and soften to fill in fine lines and even deep wrinkles.
June Jacobs Eye Products are loaded with age fighting ingredients that are very effective at repairing the damage done over the course of years. Age defying ingredients help to encourage a firmer and plumper skin surface so that the eyes appear less wrinkled and tired. Deep moisturizers prevent drying and flakiness. When the skin is properly hydrated, it appears plump and full. June Jacobs Eye Products work well on mature skin as well as younger skin hoping to resist the signs of aging.
It is always important to use a product specially formulated for the eye area. The eyes are especially delicate and can experience problems if anti-aging products for the face are used. June Jacobs Eye Products rely on gentle formulations that effectively tackle symptoms of aging around the eye area without causing irritation. When applying June Jacobs Eye Products, gently pat onto the skin rather than rubbing as any vigorous action can cause damage.
June Jacobs Cellular Collagen Eye Serum contains a powerful blend of collagen and hyaluronic acid to firm and bind moisture deep within the layers of skin. Collagen is the framework of the skin and is responsible for giving the skin its shape and resilience. Healthy collagen levels result in a taut and youthful appearance. Hyaluronic acid is very effective at drawing moisture into the skin and retaining it for hours. This helps plump up the eye skin tissue to soften fine lines and wrinkles. June Jacobs Cellular Collagen Eye Serum is rich in age fighting properties that correct years of damage. The formula also offers complete protection against further damage from both internal and external factors. Botanical extracts nourish and revive delicate skin. This product does not contain preservatives or fragrance and is safe for sensitive eyes.
June Jacobs Intensive Age Defying Brightening Eye Cream is a highly moisturizing formula that protects the skin against damage while visibly improving the symptoms of mature eyes. The brightening formula contains extracts from marine sources to revive and renew tired eyes. Like the Cellular Collagen Eye Serum, June Jacobs Intensive Age Defying Brightening Eye Cream does not contain fragrance or preservatives.

David Schoenbrod
Interview | When it comes to the environment, David Schoenbrod believes the EPA is the problem and democracy is the solution
"David Schoenbrod" Continued...
When David Schoenbrod was an attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, he believed that an unelected "environmental captain," such as the EPA, should make the country's environmental rules.
Now he takes the opposite view. The professor at New York Law School and adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute argues that elected legislators should make all environmental law and that the EPA often fails to be an objective, scientifically guided rulemaker.
Mr. Schoenbrod explains why his views changed and how democracy would produce better environmental protection in his book, Saving Our Environment from Washington: How Congress Grabs Power, Shirks Responsibility, and Shortchanges the People (Yale University Press, 2005).
WORLD How did your own experiences make you question the wisdom of having an "environmental captain" in Washington?
SCHOENBROD What awoke me was, in a word, "lead." In 1970, Congress passed the Clean Air Act because voters demanded action to protect them from pollution, especially lead in gasoline. But, in the statute, Congress declared lofty goals and left the making of the rules to the environmental captain at the EPA. Almost as soon as Congress passed the statute, both liberal and conservative members, acting at the behest of lead additive makers and small refiners, started pressuring the EPA to go slow on lead. The EPA complied.
What got the lead out in the end was not Congress' mandate. In 1970, Congress required that new cars made from 1975 onwards use unleaded gasoline. The reason was to protect the pollution control equipment in these cars rather than to protect people from lead. Lead emissions went down slowly as these old cars gradually went to the junkyard. By 1985, leaded gas was no longer profitable for the big refiners. They lobbied President Reagan's EPA to ban leaded gas rather than leave this dwindling market to small refiners. The EPA complied.
I am convinced that we would have gotten faster protection if Congress had not passed the rulemaking buck to the EPA. In that case, with voters demanding action in 1970, Congress would have had to enact a rule reducing the lead in the gasoline used by old cars. That rule would have taken most of the lead out by 1975. Instead, Congress declared victory while shifting responsibility to the EPA, which did little for years. The upshot: Children absorbed a lot more lead from the early 1970s through the mid 1980s. The resulting deaths and disabilities, estimated according to the way the EPA figures lead's impact, approach the American casualties in Vietnam.
WORLD What role do you think the federal government should have in environmental protection?
SCHOENBROD There are millions of pollution sources. The federal government should regulate only the very small fraction of them that states cannot regulate on their own without hurting other states or other countries. The chief candidate for federal control would be large plants that do much of their harm out of state, such as electric generators.
WORLD If we leave environmental protection to democracy, is there a danger that voters will not understand the importance of some environmental concerns?
SCHOENBROD Congress empowered the EPA on the theory that only a national agency that is insulated from accountability to voters could produce the scientifically grounded pollution rules needed to save a careless public from its own filth.
But, the best environmental rules-those that have done the most good-have come when Congress had to take responsibility or from states and localities, but not the EPA.
For example, on emissions from new cars, acid rain, and specially hazardous air pollutants, real progress came only after Congress passed the buck to the EPA, it stalled, voters complained, and then Congress stepped in to make hard choices. In each of these instances, the environmental captain failed and democracy worked.
The people at the EPA are well-intentioned, but Congress has given them an impossible job-to regulate thousands of pollutants coming from millions of sources across a diverse country-and without the legislators having tackled the really hard choices such as how to balance environmental and economic concerns and how to allocate the cleanup burden among polluters.
WORLD Why do you think it is vain to hope that science can provide definitive guidance for environmental policy?
SCHOENBROD The science on the health effects of pollution is full of uncertainties. Even if the EPA precisely understood the health effects, it would still face questions of priority, such as whether to eliminate a small health effect at a large cost. So, the EPA must base its rules on policy as well as science and so they inevitably reflect politics. Indeed, no EPA administrator has been a hard scientist from the agency's establishment in 1970 through 2004. In 2005, President Bush did appoint a scientist, Stephen L. Johnson.
WORLD What is the "precautionary principle," and what is wrong with it?
SCHOENBROD To support their policy preferences that have no basis in science, some environmentalists invoke the "precautionary principle." It dictates leaving things "natural" unless there is proof positive that the unnatural way is safe. It sounds both sensible and scientific, but in fact is neither. Science shows that eliminating risks can itself produce risks. As Jane E. Brody wrote in The New York Times: "The millions or billions spent in compliance and enforcement might be better used in ways that would save many more lives, and sometimes the cost is not worth the potential benefit. I say 'potential' because in many cases, the risks involved are only hypothetical, extrapolations from studies in laboratory animals that may have little or no bearing on people.
"Remember, too, that 'natural' is not necessarily safer, and just because something is manufactured does not make it a potential hazard. Nature is hardly benign. Arsenic, hemlock and, despite its current medical applications, botulism toxin are wholly natural but also deadly."
WORLD How is this principle rooted in a particular set of religious beliefs?
SCHOENBROD Nature inspires awe. As Isaiah puts it, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory."
When the "Age of Reason" made it unfashionable in some circles to believe in God, many people skipped "the Lord" and deemed the earth holy. They had shifted their religious attachment from a transcendent deity to the nature around them.
Environmentalists who espouse the precautionary principle have, in effect, embraced a religious doctrine holding that humans left nature's ways and now stand in peril unless we return to them.
The key question in the case of the environmental doctrine is, what is "natural"? Apparently, it does not include human society as we have it today for, otherwise, everything would be natural. The natural is apparently the earth before homo sapiens improved upon Stone Age technology (in which case, the precautionary principle tells us to get rid of modern dentistry and central heating because both entail risks).
There is much to be said for caution in altering natural systems. They are difficult to understand. Misunderstanding can produce grave harm. The harm can be irreversible. But neither science nor the scientific pretense of the rigid precautionary principle can settle our environmental disputes. Common sense must also play a role, and in it there should be a prudent dose of the precaution that sensible people take in dealing with suspected dangers.
WORLD Your description of "the joy of doing" sounds a lot like the biblical concept of calling, in which God equips each person with the skills and at least the potential passion for certain vocations. How does the EPA undermine this joy of doing?
SCHOENBROD Many people want the joy of doing that can be found in farming or a small business. A majority (56 percent) of Americans dream of starting their own business and another 10 percent already do so. Their primary reason is "doing something you love" far more than "being your own boss" or to "get rich."
EPA staffers want to do the right thing, but they end up squashing small businesses. They pay more to comply: $3,328 per employee for firms with fewer than 20 employees versus $717 for firms with more than 500 employees. Large corporations can afford to hire their own lawyers and experts to impress their concerns on regulators in Washington. Little firms and farms can't. They would do better with elected state and local legislators who are closer to home and want their votes. Before the EPA's advent in the 1970s, small plants were gaining market share from large ones. The trend has since reversed.
Small businesses and farmers have an even more basic problem-deciphering the regulatory requirements. While giant corporations have in-house environmental staffs to decode regulatory complexity, the small fry grope in the dark. Regulation by a single state or locality would be simpler and more understandable.
WORLD Why do big businesses often support costly environmental regulations?
SCHOENBROD Major corporations can pass most of the costs-of pollution control equipment and of the legal work and lobbying-along to the public in the form of higher prices. The largest firms use their sophisticated lobbyists to seek regulations that put competitors at a disadvantage. For instance, big refiners pushed for eliminating all the lead from gasoline in order to give themselves an edge over small refiners. Firms use environmental law to restrict the entry of competitors and subject them to higher costs. No wonder that, when EPA announces new regulatory initiatives, the stock prices of established firms sometimes go up.
WORLD You describe the political benefits the current system holds for members of Congress. (They can appear to help the environment while blaming the EPA for the cost of environmental protection.) What will it take to persuade Congress to give up something so politically helpful?
SCHOENBROD The great majority of ordinary Americans (68 percent) tell pollsters that the public does not care enough about the environment. Think about it. Most people think most people don't care enough about the environment. We do care enough. The problem is that we have been convinced we don't. Once we get that sorted out, voters will come to understand that Congress has designed a system that is perfect for its members and bad for us. Then, its members will feel the heat and change the system to suit our needs rather than their ambitions.

Marriage Equality Victory in the U.S. Capital
The District of Columbia has joined Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont and New Hampshire as places where gay couples can get a marriage license! The D.C. Superior Court began accepting marriage license applications from same-sex couples this morning.
The anticipated marriages of same-sex couples, said Mitch Wood, president of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance, were "the fruit of decades of public advocacy and organizing by gay citizens and our numerous allies."
The D.C. Council voted to legalize same-sex marriage in December. Still, there are about 1,200 federal benefits married gay couples won't have access to, thanks to the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Until the federal government ends its commitment to discrimination, all married couples will not be equal.
A hearty congratulations to the happy couples!

Game Development
This section is an amalgamation of several other sections on our existing site; we have taken Small Blacks Charter, Video Vault, Development, Teenage and Articles and placed them all under one roof for ease of use.
Small Blacks
The Small Blacks Charter section welcomes parents/coaches/managers to its program for Small Blacks players. Teams can use NZ RUGBY Small Blacks' charter or make one of their own. (Signed by coach, parents and kids.) You can download these from online – two versions– one created by NZ RUGBY or one you can adapt to individual team needs.
Provides comprehensive information about Coach Development and Player Development. The topics covered are wide-ranging but do focus on Key Factor Analysis of the skills of Rugby. This section also covers the Role of the Coach, Sport Psychology, Communication, Physical Preparation, Growth and Development, Skills Analysis and Teaching a Skill, so is a valuable tool for coaches at all levels.
This is a selection of articles that will hopefully inspire, capture and energise all you coaches in becoming a better coach. James Mortimer and Ian Snook are our main contributors to this section and their knowledge and expertise should be a catalyst for development.
Video Vault
This section is a place where we put up hours of footage that we believe will be helpful to all coaches, whether you are a Small Black or Senior coach.
A new section to Coaching Toolbox - the teenage section is for those coaches that have the joy in coaching our 'teenage rugby players'. It will be an ever-changing section, as the area we know as the 'Teenage Coaching Grade' is one, that is both dynamic and complicated!

About Natural Granite
Can heat damage natural granite?
Natural granite is heat resistant. While placing a hot pot on your natural granite countertop won't damage the stone, it can degrade the sealer, which can lead to staining. We recommend using a hot pad or trivet to protect your countertop.
Can natural granite be scratched?
Natural granite is one of the hardest stones available. It is scratch resistant in ordinary use, but we still recommend to "use with care." Read more in our Care and Maintenance Guide.
Does natural granite chip?
Under ordinary use, natural granite does not chip – but it may in cases of severe abuse with a hammer or impact tool. A chip can be filled by a countertop specialist using a mixture of granite dust and epoxy. Certain types of stone are more susceptible to chips due to their composition.
Can natural granite crack?
Natural granite will not crack with ordinary use. Natural granite is most susceptible to cracks during shipping and installation. Normal use will not overstress this durable material.
Does natural granite stain?
Natural granite is a porous material and therefore is subject to staining. When sealed with our SEALTru™ Countertop Protection, we warrant for a period of 15 years after installation that your countertop will be stain free if cared for according to our Care and Maintenance Guide. Read more about our 15 Year Staining Limited Warranty.
Does natural granite have variation?
Many types of natural granite contain pits and fissures that are natural characteristics of stone. Some natural granites exhibit these characteristics more than others, and the lighting of the room can make these marks more or less visible.
What is the thickness of KraftMaid natural granite?
KraftMaid natural granite is 3 cm (1¼ in) thick.
Radon information
At KraftMaid®, we believe in safety above all else. Because our countertops are made from natural material, there have been concerns regarding radon emissions in natural granite. We want to put you at ease. This information was provided by the Marble Institute of America. Please visit the Marble Institute of America for more information.
Is my countertop safe?
Studies conducted by respected scientists have found that the natural granite most commonly used in U.S. countertops is safe for use in homes. In fact, the highest radon emissions ever reported in these studies would create concentrations that are significantly lower than EPA guidelines to take any action. The primary source of radon in any structure is most likely to be the soil beneath it..
What about food that is prepared directly on the natural granite surface? Is there a chance that it could absorb radiation, which later would be ingested by those eating the food?
The only way that radioactive elements can get into a meal is if they were dissolved in water and absorbed into the food. However, natural granite is one of the most insoluble materials known to man and the amount that could be dissolved is miniscule in comparison to the radioactive elements commonly found in the food (in meat or from uptake by soil or airborne particles during growth).

Hi there,
I've poked through the Multi-Site Installation guide and some notes I found in the Wiki as well as some release notes about setting LDAP replication up. I've tried a couple times to get it running and not been able. Each time I try, I have a working multisite setup, with a master LDAP host, and mail routing working and the address books displaying names/addresses properly, mail routes from mailboxes on one server to users on another, so all in all, everything is function _until_ I try LDAP replication.
I think something important to note, just from reading other posts, is I do _not_ have my MX and A records setup officially. I _am_ running named on each server to do caching and I have setup the zones for my domain and that stuff all works fine, I just haven't transferred authority for my domain over to my nameservers, as our mail is currently outsourced and I'm migrating it in-house. All name resolution in-house on systems involved is pointing to my inhouse-DNS servers, so it should seem to Zimbra and any services involved that my nameservers are _THEBOSSOF_ my domain...ie-they aren't talking to any DNS servers out on the interweeb.
(as an aside, is it objectionable to be running named on your zimbra servers for caching and resolution? the DNS load is currently distributed across three zimbra/dns servers)
I noticed in rsharpe's post from a few days ago (http://www.zimbra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2784)
that KevinH mentioned there may be a a fix in a 3.1.1 patch release coming soon...and today I notice 3.1.1_GA_394...it this the magic I've been hoping for??
Anyway, I did a pretty poor job of keeping my errors logged, and now that I've stoped LDAP replication and resetup the hurt...but what did happen was Zimbra-store would error like mad, postfix spitting out a ton of messages about things not working, like pages and pages of it, so I'd edit the ldap_url and put different concoctions in there of my main and backup servers, trying just the main one, or just the localhost one, or localhost first and main second, little success. I did notice initially in my [b]zmlocalconfig[b] output, that the second server defined in ldap_url has the port number stapled on the end, but it was the only one...like
ldap_url="ldap://backup.example.com ldap://main.example.com:389"
which seemed wierd.
So with some tinkering of ldap_url I did get all the services to finally startup again without err...but when I went into admin console and clicked on the second server, got
Message: Csfe service error
Error code: service.PROXY_ERROR
Method: ZmCsfeCommand.invoke
Details:error while proxying request to target server (url=https://hr2.kinglandford.com:7071/service/admin/soap/): Connection refused
Any ideas on this? I realize I haven't got the necessary details here for someone to really diagnose this, but I hope to open up some dialogue on this replication subject. I've been showing lots of people the interface and the admin interface, and they're totally floored, often comments about how much they hate Exchange and want to dump it for Zimbra (after seeing it). So I've recommended it a few places, and I know that one of the questions is how it handles multiple sites and message routing, etc, etc.
Thanks for any input or direction on this, and thanks to the Zimbra guys for a great product (my days of being whipped into submission by qmail are over).

D.C. Fire Chief Apologizes for Ambulance Failures
The District of Columbia's fire chief apologized March 28 for recent failures that led to slow ambulance response times and for failing to maintain accurate information about the readiness of the department's fleet, but he insisted that the department has the resources it needs to handle major emergencies.
Two D.C. council members said that they were unsatisfied with some of Chief Kenneth Ellerbe's responses and that they were concerned about his management of the department, given its staff and equipment shortages.
"The department has got to improve," Council Chairman Phil Mendelson said.
Earlier this month, a D.C. police officer was seriously injured in a hit-and-run and had to wait 15 minutes for an ambulance from neighboring Prince George's County, Md., because no city ambulances were available. Two days later, a man suffering a stroke had to be taken to a hospital on a fire truck because the nearest ambulance was nine miles away. The department also struggled with slow response times on New Year's Day, when dozens of firefighters called in sick in what their union denies was an organized sickout.
"I would like to offer my sincere apology for the patients and families involved in several incidents recently. I am deeply troubled by each of these incidents," Ellerbe said. "As the fire and EMS chief of the District of Columbia, I accept responsibility for the actions of our department and our employees."
Problems with emergency medical service in the nation's capital date back decades. In 2006, New York Times reporter David Rosenbaum was beaten during a robbery and died after he did not get proper care because the emergency medical technicians who transported him thought he was drunk.
"I think that seven years since the Rosenbaum tragedy, we would be beyond realizing there are problems and learning what to do," Mendelson said. "The city has made a lot of progress, (but) it feels to the public like we are right back where we were."
Councilman Tommy Wells, who presided over the hearing as chairman of the council's public safety committee, said it was clear there were systemic issues in the department, given its inability to procure new trucks and ambulances and the attrition rate of its paramedics.
Paul Quander, the district's deputy mayor for public safety, said the city has 111 ambulances, but only 58 are operational. Thirty-nine ambulances are deployed at any given time.
A report issued last week by the district's inspector general found that in the most recent month for which data were available, the city had only one available ladder truck in reserve. The department is supposed to have a dozen reserve trucks to ensure readiness in the event of a major emergency, a requirement put in place after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Ellerbe conceded that he had provided inaccurate information to the council about the reserve fleet and that he had been managing the department based on that bad data for a year. The department is undertaking a comprehensive, truck-by-truck review of the fleet, he said.
"I just don't understand how the chief of the Fire and EMS Department would not know how many vehicles are available," Mendelson said.
Ellerbe said the department does not have a shortage of trucks and ambulances. But he also said the department needs to change to keep up with the emergency medical call volume in the fast-growing city, which is adding more than 1,000 residents a month. Ellerbe wants to redeploy some ambulances to the daytime hours and make a major change to firefighters' work schedules. The union has resisted the schedule change, saying it would disrupt firefighters' lives without improving fire or emergency medical service.
Ellerbe conceded that the department needs to hire more paramedics — there has been a net loss since he became chief — and said it is trying to recruit military veterans who have the requisite training. He added that hiring was difficult because paramedics also are required to be firefighters, although the vast majority of large fire and EMS departments have similar arrangements.
Quander said the department, "for the most part," is meeting its goal of having a paramedic on the scene of an emergency within eight minutes and an ambulance within 13 minutes. But many large urban departments try to get paramedics on the scene within four minutes and transport vehicles within eight minutes, in keeping with standards established by the National Fire Protection Association.
"He doesn't have the medics to achieve that," said Lori Moore-Merrell, an assistant to the president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, who also testified. Merrell said the district's department has a bad reputation nationally for providing emergency care and that paramedics hired from other jurisdictions are leaving because of the demands placed on them.

Hook End Effector
From Healthcare Robotics Wiki
Revision as of 19:35, 8 October 2009 by Advaitjain (Talk | contribs) (→Hardware)
Advait Jain (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~advait)
What this does
We first used this hook as an end effector in this paper: Pulling Open Novel Doors and Drawers with Equilibrium Point Control. Advait Jain and Charles C. Kemp. IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids), 2009. This paper and others can be downloaded from the Heathcare Robotics Lab website (http://www.healthcare-robotics.com)
The hook was inspired by how humans sometimes use a finger or fingers to hook around a handle and pull something open. We also took inspiration from prosthetic hooks, which have been successfully used with remarkable versatility and effectiveness.
- We designed the hook in Solidworks and printed it on a 3D printer.
- Solidworks CAD file (hook.sldprt). This requires Solidworks 2009.
- STL file (hook.stl)
- We also stuck some rubber on the hook. This can be seen in the images of the actual hook. The 3D printed hook is white and the rubber is black in color. We have bought the rubber sheets from http://mcmastercarr.com and used superglue to stick the rubber to the hook.
- The mounting holes in the base of the hook match an ATI Mini40 force torque sensor. (http://www.ati-ia.com/products/ft/ft_models.aspx?id=Mini40)
- ROS (http://www.ros.org)
- The code that we used to enable the robot to open drawers and doors using this hook as the end effector can be downloaded from our ROS repository. You will need the following ROS packages from our public ROS repository (available at http://code.google.com/p/gt-ros-pkg/wiki/hrl_content_summary)

Glen Canyon management plan overhaul
In an effort to improve and protect the resources of the Grand Canyon, the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service initiated a public process on Nov. 7 to review the timing and volume of water flow from Glen Canyon Dam. This includes the management of the dam over the next 15 to 20 years.
A Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan will be developed to ensure that the water flow management on the Colorado River meets goals of supplying water for communities, agriculture and industry, and protecting the natural resources and fish species of the Grand Canyon, while providing hydropower.
The next step is to develop an environmental impact statement.
In addition to the meetings, written comments are being accepted through Dec. 30 of this year, with a draft study expected to be released in 2013.

Correctionville Plane Hit Trees Before Crashing
CORRECTIONVILLE, Iowa (AP) - A preliminary accident investigation report says a small plane hit some trees before fatally crashing short of a grass airstrip near Correctionville in
northwest Iowa.
The National Transportation Safety Board says in the report issued Monday that despite the foggy conditions the evening of Dec. 1, the pilot told air traffic controllers that he had the airstrip in sight.
The crash killed two passengers, 53-year-old Lee Schroeder, of Oto, and 55-year-old James Smith, of Correctionville. The pilot, 70-year-old Gaylen Knaack, also of Correctionville, was taken for treatment of his burns to a hospital in Lincoln, Neb.

Organizers Want Plymouth County To Get Healthy
(Le Mars) -- When you see that Iowa has 29 percent of it population as being listed as obese, compared to the national average of 27.9 percent. One in four Iowa adults are physically inactive, one in 12 people in Iowa suffer from diabetes, and slightly more than 20 percent of the state's population smokes cigarettes, it is easy to see why Iowa's Healthiest state ranking dropped four positions to number 20. Because of these startling statistics, organizers within Plymouth County are wanting to recruit at least 2300 people to team up, get active, eat well and live healthy with the Live Healthy Iowa ten-week Wellness Challenge.

Outreach are sponsoring the local wellness challenge.
Fort Dodge Man Charged With Threatening Governor Branstad
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A 47-year-old Fort Dodge man has been charged with sending a threatening letter to Gov. Terry Branstad.
Jerry Springsteen was arrested Monday. A complaint filed in U.S. District Court says Springsteen sent the letter on Oct. 18. The complaint says the letter included a line that said Springsteen had
"a clear shot" at the governor and said Branstad was a walking dead man.
Court documents say Springsteen told an investigator that he wrote the letter to get Branstad's attention. Asked about the "clear shot" comment, Springsteen told the investigator that he
knew of a fire escape on a building near the governor's mansion where he could take a rifle shot at the governor.
Springsteen remains in custody. His lawyer didn't immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press.
Found Bodies Confirmed To Be Missing Cousins
EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) - Evansdale police say an autopsy has confirmed that two bodies found last week in a wildlife area are those of Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook.
Police Chief Kent Smock says he received confirmation Monday from the Iowa State Medical Examiner's Office that the bodies were the two cousins, who had been missing since July 13th. The full autopsy hasn't been released to police.
Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10 when they went for a bike ride in the northeastern Iowa community and didn't return.
Hunters found their bodies last week in the Seven Bridges Wildlife Area in Bremer County, about 25 miles from where they were last seen.
Authorities closed the park while they searched for evidence connected to the case but now have reopened the area.
Iowa Asks For Flexibility With Medicaid
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa officials are asking the Obama administration for flexibility in complying with the federal health care act because of Medicaid cost increases expected even before
the new law takes effect next year.
Republican Governor Terry Branstad told reporters Monday that Iowa's relatively low unemployment and expected increases state revenue have prompted federal officials to increase the share Iowa
must pay for Medicaid, a state and federal health insurance program for the poor.
Iowa officials say insuring existing Medicaid recipients is expected to go up $35 million in the current budget year, $57 million in the year that starts in July and another $31 million in another year.
Branstad says those extra costs complicate Iowa's ability to finance the new federal law, which requires states to cover additional low- and middle-income people.

In my work I've not used "Expect" many times, but to do some jobs I've learnt how to use it, and I must say that to complete some tasks this program can help a lot and be a valid alternative to more complex solutions, like a complete program in python, php or your favorite scripting program.
But first a description of expect taken from his man page:
Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs according to a script. Following the script, Expect knows what can be expected from a program and what the correct response should be. An interpreted language provides branching and high-level control structures to direct the dialogue. In addition, the user can take control and interact directly when desired, afterward returning control to the script.
In this article I'll show you 2 examples on how to use it, to connect to a remote server via ssh and issue a command, to change the password of a user with the command passwd.

Skin Problems & Treatments Health Center
FDA Approves New Impetigo Treatment
April 13, 2007 -- The FDA today approved a new prescription antibacterial ointment called Altabax to treat impetigo.
Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection caused by bacteria. It's most common among children and is usually spread through physical contact with someone who has impetigo, or from sharing clothes, bedding, towels, or other objects.
Altabax is for patients who are at least 9 months old and have impetigo due to the common bacteria Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes, states GlaxoSmithKline, which makes Altabax.
Altabax represents the first new class of prescription topical antibacterials to be approved by the FDA in nearly 20 years, notes GlaxoSmithKline.
Altabax is used twice daily for five days. Other prescription topical antibiotics are used as much as three times daily for up to 12 days, says GlaxoSmithKline.
Altabax Approval
The FDA approved Altabax based on effectiveness data from a study of 210 adults and children with impetigo.
A total of 139 patients received Altabax. The others patients got an ointment containing no medicine (placebo).
After five days of treatment, success was more common in the Altabax group than in the placebo group, according to GlaxoSmithKline.
The FDA says it also reviewed safety data on approximately 2,000 Altabax-treated adults and children who were at least 9 months old and another 1,000 patients who used other antibiotics or a placebo.
The most common Altabax-related adverse event was irritation at the application site. That problem affected less than 2% of the patients, notes the FDA.

We have become very knowledgeable in both Antique Navajo Jewelry and Vintage Navajo Jewelry. We have had Navajo Silversmiths work for us for forty years making all types of Sterling Silver Jewelry.
We have collected and mined Turquoise for a very long time and have had Navajo Indians work with us in Cutting our Turquoise and then we have had them put the Turquoise Stones they cut into Navajo Turquoise Jewelry. Some of the Silver Jewelry items they made were Navajo Turquoise Bracelets, Navajo Turquoise Earrings, Navajo Turquoise Necklace and Navajo Turquoise Rings. The Navajo's called their Turquoise and Silver Jewelry "Navajo Turquoise" , we had a lot of fun with their slang and the Navajo's are a lot of fun to be around. They have always been great to work with as when they work, they get to it and pay close attention to all aspects of their job.
We have had great years in the Turquoise Jewelry business and the Navajo Indians have been a big factor in the success of our business.

Data Transformation
Getting your spend data into the best possible shape
Spikes Cavell were the obvious choice when selecting a partner for spend analytics: Their knowledge and understanding of data as a whole is vast, and their attention to detail second to none. Unlike many providers, they pride themselves on ensuring the data is fit for purpose before making it available for analysis. The robust line level checks they undertake mean that the data is cleansed, de-duplicated, categorized and enriched to such a high standard it gives complete confidence in the subsequent data analysis.
We believe business intelligence should be driven by business objectives and strategic intent. And, if your intent is strategic, then the data you use to underpin your decision making needs to be as complete, accurate and reliable as is feasible. It's all about confidence. And that confidence will evaporate rapidly if your spend data isn't fit-for-purpose. Of course the tools matter, but in our customers' experience the data matters more. That's why we spend as much time, effort and energy as we do focused on getting your data into the best possible shape.
But transforming spend data into actionable business intelligence is tough. Technology can certainly help, but in our experience, if the raw data is incomplete, lacking in detail or not coded accurately at source, then no auto-classification or artificial intelligence based approach will deliver an acceptable end result for more than a small proportion of your spend. Simply put, if a reasonably knowledgeable human can't tell you what it was you bought by looking at the data, then neither can a machine. And rules based mapping of your account codes doesn't add a great deal of analytical value either. If a code was wrong or inappropriate before you mapped it, it will still be wrong or inappropriate once it has been mapped to something else. We've lost count of the number of occasions where organizations have invested time, money and effort in auto-classification or code mapping only to end up bitterly disappointed. That's why we do it differently.
Our hybrid data transformation methodology is an effective combination of people, process, data and technology that has been designed to deliver the best possible analytical outcome regardless of the quality of the source data. And yes, we use sophisticated auto-classification and machine learning, but only where it's appropriate to do so. Our key difference is our use of people. Analysts are actively involved throughout the data transformation and enrichment process, making decisions that no business rule or computer program can. That's why we can confidently commit to correctly categorizing 97% of your spend by value.
A Solid Foundation
No-one would ever risk putting hours of work into building a house if it lacked a firm foundation. The same is true of spend analytics. Good data, that is fit-for-purpose, is the foundation on which procurement strategy and operational execution rests. That's why we pay particular attention to ensuring that the raw data you extract from your accounts payable, purchase card and eProcurement systems properly reflects the totality of your spend on goods and services. You may be surprised at how little you need to give us in order for us to give you a lot more back and how little effort you need to expend to give it to us. Eight to sixteen hours total effort on your part is all that is typically required to get us the data we need, and to review the results of the more than 400 checks our Resequence data validation engine routinely makes as part of our initial Data Fitness Check (DFC) process. Once the Resequence DFC is signed off there is nothing more you need to do until our transformation work is complete and your data is published to the Observatory.
I chose Spikes Cavell not only because they were able to transform our spend data into something ready for analysis, but also because the pre-built reports in the Observatory meant that I had immediate access to exactly the information I needed, giving me some firm foundations to stand upon.
Cleanse, De-duplicate, Categorize and Enrich
We don't believe that merely reorganizing the data that you gave us adds nearly enough value. When we say we transform, enrich and add value to your data that's precisely what we mean. But then we do have several significant advantages. Our core internal reference database has been painstakingly constructed as a result of processing half a trillion dollars (£320bn) of spend with 9.5 million vendors. Our commodity categorization training set is derived from categorizing more than 40 million purchased items to UNSPC. The reference database we license from Experian contains extensive organizational profiles of almost 45 million US and UK businesses, government bodies and not-for-profits. And we bring all of these data assets to bear when cleansing, de-duplicating, categorizing and enriching your data.
We also throw smart and experienced people into the mix. Our project managers and analysts are actively involved throughout the data transformation process, making decisions that no business rule or computer program can. Technology has a part to play too. Over the years we've invested heavily in the development of a sophisticated, purpose built infrastructure to manage the process of transforming your data. That's how we're able to deliver enterprise-wide spend visibility across large, complex, multi-faceted organizations comprised of many disparate parts without skipping a beat, or missing a single piece of data.
We recently contracted with Spikes Cavell to conduct a spend analysis across all 23 CSU campuses and the Chancellor's Office. It was a tough year to start this project, as we were in the middle of transitioning to a revised financial system as well as a new procurement card provider. We ended up delivering as many as four datasets per campus. Despite those challenges, Spikes Cavell was able to complete the project two weeks ahead of schedule with the team being beyond helpful. We are already zeroing in on initial opportunities for collaboration and savings – and we expect a great deal more moving forward. Spikes Cavell has performed beyond our expectations.
How the data is organized for analysis matters
Getting quickly to the answers you need, and discovering hidden insights in your data, is about more than the tools. How the data is organized for analysis matters too. Over the years we've used every taxonomy for categorizing spend available and none of them did a perfect job of balancing the need to drill to detail with summary labels that made sense. So we analyzed almost half a trillion dollars (£320bn) worth of actual expenditure and built our own.
vCode is a three level hierarchical taxonomy for categorizing spend that perfectly balances the need for detail (almost 600 categories at the lowest level) whilst enabling summation (30 categories at the top level) in terms that procurement, finance and management can comprehend. It has also been built to facilitate meaningful categorization of spend on goods and services where there's little or no detail in the source data. If you want to generate reports and analysis using something else that's fine too. Our analytical tools support most of the taxonomies you've heard of, and a few you probably haven't.
We live and breathe data
At Spikes Cavell we love data. For almost 25 years we have been capturing, categorizing, organizing and presenting data so that it can be effectively leveraged to deliver the answers you need, quickly, reliably and with little effort on your part. Our data transformation methods, tools and processes have been specifically designed to turn poor quality data into business intelligence that is fit-for-purpose. So no matter how bad you think your raw data is we can almost certainly do something valuable with it.

The refined, aging former mistress of Alexander, Vanozza is also the mother of his children. Although she no longer shares the Pope's bed, she is still the matriarch of his household and a vital member of his family. She is the prime confidant and advisor to her three children, and continues to aid them in their affairs. When a younger woman unseats her for the Pope's affections, her initial fury turns into a grudging and collaborative truce with the new mistress.
Joanne Whalley was born in Manchester, England and became interested in acting at an early age, appearing in small television roles including the television adaptation of JOBY, a novel by Stan Barstow, and A QUIET LIFE, about writer Beryl Bainbridge. She also appeared in A KIND OF LOVING opposite Clive Wood in the television adaptation of the novel of the same name.
After moving to London, she subsequently appeared in several productions at the Royal Court Theatre, including The Edward Bond plays SAVED and THE POPE'S WEDDING; Howard Brenton's THE GENIUS and Middleton's WOMEN BEWARE WOMEN alongside such wonderful actors as Gary Oldman and Leslie Manville. She was also fortunate in working at the National Theater with Peter Gill in his stage adaptation of Faulkner's AS I LAY DYING; to play Masha in THREE SISTERS at the Greenwich Theater directed by Elijah Moshinsky; and the lead in the LULU PLAYS by Wedekind at the Almeida Theater.
Whalley started her career in television with the landmark British series EDGE OF DARKNESS and Dennis Potter's THE SINGING DETECTIVE. She also played Mary Bell in the BBC film WILL YOU LOVE ME TOMORROW? After brief appearances in films such as Pink Floyd's THE WALL and DANCE WITH A STRANGER, she went on to star in the dark comedy film NO SURRENDER, followed by the British film SCANDAL, opposite John Hurt. Other British film credits include THE SECRET RAPTURE and THE BIG MAN with Liam Neeson.
Her first American film was WILLOW for George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard, followed by the noir film KILL ME AGAIN for John Dahl, NAVY SEALS with Charlie Sheen, SHATTERED with Tom Berenger, THE GUILTY with Bill Pullman, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE with Bill Murray, and A TEXAS FUNERAL with Martin Sheen. On American television, she has played Scarlett O'Hara and Jackie Kennedy.
Her last British film was the recent 44 INCH CHEST opposite Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, and Ian Mcshane. She also appears in the American film GOLF IN THE KINGDOM with Malcolm McDowell and Julian Sands.
More recently, Whalley starred in Francis Ford Coppola's TWIXT, CHALLENGER: FINAL FLIGHT with William Hurt, and had a recurring role on the hit television series, GOSSIP GIRL.

Jeezy has been arrested in Atlanta for battery, false imprisonment and making terroristic threats against his son, according to TMZ, for an incident that occurred September 2012.
Jeezy was involved in a fight with his son, according to documents found by the publication. During the fight, Jeezy reportedly threw his son into a glass shower door, causing harm to his son's head. Jeezy also allegedly punched his son in the face and dragged him into a bedroom where they reportedly continued their fight. Jeezy also reportedly choked his son and said, "I will kill you." TMZ's report also notes that court documents claim Jeezy said, "I will put a bullet in your head right now," and, "If I could get away with it, I would kill you."
The report also indicates that Jeezy's bodyguard did not allow his son to escape.
Jeezy turned himself in to law enforcement authorities Friday after a warrant was issued for each charge. He posted a bond of $45,000 shortly after turning himself in.
Jeezy's lawyers have provided the following statement to TMZ.
"We have no doubt this matter will resolve itself appropriately," the statement says. "At this moment, Mr. Jenkins is thankful for the support of his fans and the respect for his family's privacy."
Jeezy was arrested in 2008 on driving-related charges. Jeezy was also arrested and released before a Bahamas concert in 2010.
TMZ's mugshot of Jeezy can be found below.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - From DuPont Circle, into Bethesda, Arlington and beyond since September 21st health inspectors have shut down restaurants for mice, roaches, rats and other violations.
Sunshine Bar and Grill at 7331 Georgia Ave. NW is better known for its unusual combination of Ethiopian and Tex-Mex than health violations.
Despite its closure for roaches, a worker invited us in saying they "cleaned" and there were no roaches anymore, "nothing."
With cameras rolling, we immediately spotted what looked like a roach in the middle of the kitchen floor.
The woman covered it with her shoe and asked us to leave before we could see more.
Inspectors also cited Sunshine for unclean counters, mold in the ice machine and no food safety manager to prevent the hazards.
Officials closed Café Japone sushi and karaoke bar, 2032 P St. NW, citing sushi not being refrigerated at a safe temperature, roaches, and no food safety manager to supervise operations.
Octopus, shrimp and tuna were recorded at temperatures above 50 degrees.
Inspectors closed Mandarin Carryout, 129 15th St. SE, for vermin.
Our camera recorded dirt on the floor and a witness who described rats around the Chinese restaurant as long as a 12 inches.
At 1235 New York, inspectors declared an imminent health hazard at McDonald's when they walked in finding burgers and chicken at risky temperatures, and no hot water for workers to wash their hands.
A McDonalds official said existing procedures to checking holding temperatures are being reinforced.
"I take all matters regarding the safety and cleanliness at my restaurants very seriously," McDonalds franchise owner Carlos Mateos said in a statement. "I expect all of my restaurants to be in full compliance."
At the Barracks Row Popeye's, 409 8th St. SE , it was mice, no certified food safety manager, and chicken stored at potentially sickening temperatures inspectors cited in the closure order.
In Arlington at Big Papa Pizza on Lee Highway, they allowed our cameras into the kitchen after their closure.
The establishment appeared in order, but besides insects, inspectors had cited multiple violations over three inspections at Big Papa this year including repeatedly operating without a food safety manager.
In Bethesda, officials issued a closure at Moby Dick's, 7027 Wisconsin Ave., for operating with no hot water and flies in the kitchen.
In Silver Spring, inspectors say they caught Flipping Pizza making pizza while there was no hot water to clean hands.
They also cited dusty facilities at the Colesville Road pizza joint and shut it down.
At Kenny's Subs, 288 North Frederick in Gaithersburg, inspectors reported workers making egg rolls and chicken wings with no hot water.
They closed Kenny's also citing dirty equipment, floors, doors, and walls.
All the restaurants passed re-inspections and are now back in business.
We Tweet and Facebook details of each closure. Follow http://twitter.com/russptacek and Facebook.com/russptacek.

text: Ok guys I am a bowhunter, I don't even own a rifle. My wife however does have a rifle, and I have a 12 year old that can hunt this year. The guns stock is to big for him so I purchased a stock for cheap at the gun show from Christensen Arms, and am wondering how I cut the stock to fit him. Is there some way that you can measure him( like draw length for a bow) to see where I need to cut the stock? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
