What does
closure mean?
closure reconsideration process
arbiter examinations
When there
is a medical treatment dispute
If your claim or a medical condition is denied
insurer must accept or deny your claim within 60 days from the day you tell your employer
about the injury. If your claim is denied, the insurer will tell you about your appeal rights
in the denial letter they send to you. An appeal is a request by you, an insurer
or someone else for a review of a decision made about your claim. If you receive a notice
that your claim or benefits are denied or ended, the document you receive will have instructions
on how to appeal if you disagree with the decision. There are time limits for most appeals,
and youll lose your appeal rights if you dont appeal within those limits. Benefits
that are the subject of the appeal are usually not paid until the review of the decision
is completed and there is no further appeal. If you want legal advice, check the yellow pages
of your phone directory under Attorneys or contact the Oregon State Bar, 800-452-7636,
to find a lawyer who handles workers compensation in your area.
The insurer will pay time-loss authorized by your doctor up until the day your claim is denied.
You wont have to repay time-loss benefits if your claim is denied. However, if your
claim is denied within two weeks of the date you reported the claim to your employer, you
will not receive time-loss payments.
requested medical examination
If your claim has been denied by the insurer based on an insurer medical examination (IME),
and your doctor (attending physician) disagrees with the IME results, you may be eligible
to request a medical examination by a doctor chosen by the Workers Compensation Division.
In order to be eligible for this exam, you must appeal your denied claim in writing within
60 days of the denial. After you have requested an appeal on the denial, you may send a written
request for an exam to WCD. A copy of your request should be sent simultaneously to the insurer
or self-insured employer. The request must include:
name, address, and claim identifying information of the injured
list of physicians, including names and addresses, who have previously
provided medical treatment to you on this claim or who have previously
provided medical services to you related to the claimed condition(s);
date you requested a hearing and a copy of the hearing request;
copy of the insurers denial letter; and
that demonstrate that the attending physician did not concur with
the Insurer Medical Examination report(s).
Claim disposition agreement (CDA)
On an accepted claim, you may enter into a CDA. This is a legal agreement
where in return for an agreed-upon amount of money, you give up your right to the following:
Present and future time-loss benefits, present and future permanent partial disability awards,
monthly payments for permanent total disability, vocational assistance benefits, and aggravation
rights to reopen your claim. However, you cannot release your right to medical benefits or
eligibility for the Preferred Worker Program. All claim disposition agreements are reviewed
by the Workers Compensation Board, which approves or disapproves the agreement. If
you have questions about claim disposition agreements, contact the Ombudsman for Injured
Workers 1-800-927-1271.
Disputed claim
settlement (DCS)
When you disagree with the insurer about whether you have a valid workers
compensation claim, you and the insurer may agree to a cash settlement for the claim. If
you agree, your claim will be denied, and you give up all rights to future benefits for the
denied medical conditions of the claim. Medical providers may bill you for unpaid services,
so find out what your obligations will be before you agree to a settlement.
When your claim
is closed
You will receive a Notice of Closure from the insurer. This is a
legal document that closes your claim. It lists the periods for which time-loss was authorized
and tells you how much permanent disability has been determined. This document also tells
you what to do if you want to appeal the closure.
does closure mean?
Disabling claims are open while you are recovering from your
injury and must be closed when you are medically stationary. Your claim will also be closed if your work injury is no longer the major
cause of your disability or if you fail to keep medical appointments. The following important
documents will be mailed to you when your claim is closed:
A Notice of Closure
from the insurer. This is the legal document that closes your claim. It lists the
periods for which time-loss was authorized and tells you how much permanent disability
you may have. This document also tells you what to do if you want to appeal the closure.
A Notice of Closure
from the insurer. This is the legal document that closes your claim. It lists the
periods for which time-loss was authorized and tells you how much permanent disability
you may have. This document also tells you what to do if you want to appeal the closure.
An Updated Notice
of Acceptance at closure, which lists all of the medical conditions the insurer
has accepted. If the updated notice is incomplete or incorrect, notify the insurer
in writing.

in writing.
closure appeal rights:
If you disagree with the Notice of Closure, you have the right to appeal the closure
of your claim by asking the Workers' Compensation Division for a Reconsideration
within 60 days from the mailing date printed in box 1 on the front of the form. If you do
not appeal within 60 days, you will lose all rights to appeal your claim closure. Your appeal
rights and the address to which to send your appeal are printed on the back of the Notice
of Closure.
to request reconsideration of your claim closure:
Fill out and mail a Request
for Reconsideration form
Send form by electronic transmission (by facsimile or FAX)
Hand deliver form to a Workers' Compensation Division office
Request by phone or in-person Ask to speak to an appellate reviewer
When the Appellate Review Unit of the Workers Compensation Division
receives your request for reconsideration, an acknowledgment letter is mailed to the insurer,
the injured worker, and attorneys, if any are involved. This letter tells you that the reconsideration
process has begun.
Reconsideration is an informal review process, not a hearing. You may talk to your reviewer
and you may submit a written statement explaining your condition and your disagreement with
the claim closure. You may also submit statements from others to support your position. This
will be your last opportunity to provide new information about your claim.
An Order on Reconsideration may either be issued by the Workers Compensation Division
on the 18th working day from the date of the initial request by you, or it may be postponed
for 18 working days (plus an additional 60 days) if more information is needed or a medical
arbiter exam is requested. If the process is postponed, you will receive a postponement letter,
which will tell you we are postponing our decision because we are requesting additional information
or scheduling a medical arbiter exam.

arbiter examinations
The medical arbiter exam is scheduled by WCD's Appellate Review Unit staff
to settle disputes over your impairment findings and is based on your accepted condition(s)
at the time of your claim's closure. Your reviewer will ask the medical arbiter physician
questions about your accepted condition(s). Because the focus of the exam is determining
your impairment, the medical arbiter is not authorized to offer you any medical treatment.
For more detailed information about the medical arbiter process, refer to What
is a medical arbiter examination? | Espanol
A medical arbiter is a physician appointed by the Workers Compensation Division
to perform an impartial examination and review your records. The physician is randomly chosen
from our list of medical arbiters within the medical specialty that reflects your claim.
The medical arbiter will be a physician you have not seen as a patient.
The medical arbiter must be a medical doctor as defined by Oregon statute and must be in
good standing with the Oregon Medical Board.
All physicians must undergo medical arbiter training prior to their first arbiter exam. Medical
arbiter reports are monitored by WCD to ensure quality and impartiality.
If a medical arbiter exam is scheduled, you will receive an appointment letter with a date,
time and location. If you do not keep your exam appointment and do not have a good reason
for missing it, your disability benefits may be suspended. You must contact the Appellate
Unit staff within 24 hours after the missed appointment.
there is a medical treatment dispute
Treatment disputes may be initiated by any party using Form
2842. The insurer can request administrative review if they think treatment is excessive,
inappropriate, unnecessary, or in violation of a medical services rules. The physician can
request administrative review if the insurer does not approve a palliative care, elective
surgery, or experimental treatment request.

Assuming only VIM has *~ files in your current dir. If you have usefull data in a file named in the *~ pattern, DO NOT RUN this command!
Use find to recursively make a list of all files from the current directory and downwards. The files have to have an extension of the ones listed. Then for every file found, grep it for 'searchString', returns the filename if searchString is found.
Works recusivley in the specified dir or '.' if none given.
Repeatedly calls 'find' to find a newer file, when no newer files exist you have the newest.
In this case 'newest' means most recently modified. To find the most recently created change -newer to -cnewer.
Changed out the for loop for an xargs. It's a tad shorter, and a tad cleaner.
Recursively replace a string in files with lines matching string. Lines with the string "group name" will have the first > character replaced while other > characters on other lines will be ignored.
The difference between this and the other alternatives here using only grep is that find will, by default, not follow a symlink. In some cases, this is definitely desirable.
Using find also allows you to exclude certain files, eg
find directory/ ! -name "*.tmp" -exec grep -ni phrase {} +
would allow you to exclude any files .tmp files.
Also note that there's no need for calling grep recursively, as find passes each found file to grep.
Improvement of the command "Find Duplicate Files (based on size first, then MD5 hash)" when searching for duplicate files in a directory containing a subversion working copy. This way the (multiple dupicates) in the meta-information directories are ignored.
Can easily be adopted for other VCS as well. For CVS i.e. change ".svn" into ".csv":
find -type d -name ".csv" -prune -o -not -empty -type f -printf "%s\n" | sort -rn | uniq -d | xargs -I{} -n1 find -type d -name ".csv" -prune -o -type f -size {}c -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 --all-repeated=separate
Recursively rename .JPG to .jpg using standard find and mv. It's generally better to use a standard tool if doing so is not much more difficult.
This command is useful for renaming a clipart, pic gallery or your photo collection. It will only change the big caps to small ones (on the extension).
This command find all files in the current dir and subdirs, and replace all occurances of "oldstring" in every file with "newstring".
Execute this in the root of your music library and this recurses through the directories and normalizes each folder containing mp3s as a batch. This assumes those folders hold an album each. The command "normalize-audio" may go by "normalize" on some systems.
if its the current directory, no need find command. just grep will do
This script will list all the files in the tarballs present on any folder or subfolder of the provided path. The while loop is for echoing the file name of the tarball before listing the files, so the tarball can be identified
Find files recursively that were updated in the last hour ignoring SVN files and folders. Incase you do a full svn up on accident.
change the *.avi to whatever you want to match, you can remove it altogether if you want to check all files.
This pipeline will find, sort and display all files based on mtime. This could be done with find | xargs, but the find | xargs pipeline will not produce correct results if the results of find are greater than xargs command line buffer. If the xargs buffer fills, xargs processes the find results in more than one batch which is not compatible with sorting.
Note the "-print0" on find and "-0" switch for perl. This is the equivalent of using xargs. Don't you love perl?
Note that this pipeline can be easily modified to any data produced by perl's stat operator. eg, you could sort on size, hard links, creation time, etc. Look at stat and just change the '9' to what you want. Changing the '9' to a '7' for example will sort by file size. A '3' sorts by number of links....
Use head and tail at the end of the pipeline to get oldest files or most recent. Use awk or perl -wnla for further processing. Since there is a tab between the two fields, it is very easy to process.

A recent article in The Guardian about the 50th anniversary of London jazz club Ronnie Scott's reminded me of my own visit to the Soho music venue in 1989, the club's 30th anniversary year. It was one of the best performances, jazz or otherwise, that I've seen, and a memorable adventure all in all.
I was a student at Queen Mary College, living in the Redbridge suburb of South Woodford; British professors set a very low bar for American students, so I took advantage of their deflated expectations and explored the city every chance I got. While in Soho, I stumbled on Ronnie Scott's, which one of my professors back home had mentioned, and I saw that Hugh Masekela was going to be playing soon. It was a couple years after his album "Tomorrow" had come out, the era of divestment from South Africa's apartheid regime and growing interest in "world music," and "Bring Him Back Home" was on my personal soundtrack.
I couldn't interest any of my friends in going to see Masekela, but my roommate and one of our English friends decided that they'd go to a seedy "bed show" in the neighborhood and joined me on the Central Line ride to Soho. We parted ways near Ronnie Scott's, they giggling like schoolboys and me anxious to hear a musical legend.
It was standing room only at the club, and I found myself a dark corner with a not-too-bad view of the stage. My entertainment budget took quite a hit from the cover charge, so I had to ration the two bottles of Newcastle Brown I could afford very carefully. The first bottle lasted through the opening act–I recall it was a London quartet, doing a bop-inspired set–and I made my way to the bar for my second bottle before Masekela was scheduled to start.
As I stepped up to hand over my last wrinkled notes for a beer, the man in the queue in front of me suddenly turned around and bumped into me. He was a short man, solidly built, wearing a dark jacket; he mumbled "Excuse me" in a melodious South African accent and disappeared into the crowd. I got my drink and went back to my corner. It wasn't until Masekela took the stage a few minutes later that I realized that it was, in fact, South Africa's great trumpet player who had collided with me at the bar.
I don't remember the specifics of set list. "Grazing in the Grass" was performed, and a couple songs from "Tomorrow," but most of it was straight-ahead jazz with a hint of South African rhythm. Masekela was animated, his distinctive playing bright and round, but he made sure the share the spotlight with the rest of his band. Even in my distant corner, the club had a warm and intimate feeling, and even if I hadn't had that bar-side collision I would have felt that I had come close to one of the best players in modern jazz.
After the show, I made my way out of Soho and caught the night bus home; I recall it as a slightly-scary, dream-like tour through darker streets than I had ever seen before. It was well past midnight when I got to my room, and I was surprised to find my roommate already sound asleep. I put "Tomorrow" on my Walkman and lay on my bed, exhausted.
The coda came in the morning, when I saw the "bed show" aficionados at breakfast to compare notes. Their entertainment was a lot less than they had been promised: they paid a high cover charge and drank over-priced beers while watching an empty bed on a dark stage, images of bikini-clad women flashing on the screen above; after what seemed hours, a woman in a bikini came on stage, sat down on the bed, did some desultory and uninspired rolling around for a few minutes, then left with her bikini intact; then the lights went up and they were hurried out for the next group of
suckers valued customers to take their places.
It would appear, at least in the Soho district, that there's an inverse proportion of sizzle to steak. Ronnie Scott's, dark and unassuming as it was, offered far more than the cover charge suggested it would. I look forward to taking in another show there some time in its next fifty years of magic.

Win the Take Action Tour Compilation CD!
Posted March 3, 2010 by peta2 staff
Last night was the final stop of this year's Take Action Tour. All the way back in 1999, Hopeless Records decided that it was time for a call to arms for the music industry to give back to fans and charities that need it the most. Since then, the Take Action Tour has raised over 2 million dollars for over 50 non-profit organizations, while bringing focus to important issues ranging from suicide prevention to volunteering in your community. This year's tour featured some of peta2's favorite bands—We The Kings, A Rocket To The Moon, There For Tomorrow, Stereo Skyline, and Mayday Parade. It was basically a travelling party for a really great cause!

To educate yourself. If you don't know what is going on you won't know how to help.

I think the most important way to help animals is to just get the word out about what's really happening to them. Sure, we can become vegetarians or vegans… but if we get the word out, that means MORE people will become vegetarian/vegan, protest buying dogs as opposed to adopting them, boycott the circus, and things like that.
When you get the word out, you've made people aware. And when people become aware, people act.

Its hard to choose just one way that's the best to help animals when there are so many! I think its best to spread the word about how animals are currently being treated and how we can make a difference; whether that be adopting an animal from a local shelter, protesting McDonalds or another place that is cruel to animals, volunteering at a local shelter, or becoming vegetarian. We may be young but together we can make a difference!!

the best way to save and animal is by going all forth and going to places where they are slaughtering animals and protest if not take legal action and try to by force! but hope,believe and patience is the way because one day this world and univerese will think back for a second and think" wow, what are we doing? we cant live like this we have to stop killing these poor creatures who also have a heart,family,emotions and can feel pain also!" then we know we can savce the poor helpless animals!

The best way in my life to help animals is to take action, instead of just saying "awe, poor animal, that suck!" I try to help how ever I can! When I see an animal lost on the aide of the road, I get out of the car and read it's collar and try to call the propper people.
Or if I see animal abuse, I don't just watch from afar, I try to see if the animal is ok, and I make all the phone calls and office visits needed to find that animal a new home!
So, I guess to put it in a sentence, the best way to help animals is not being silent!!!!

The best way to help animals? It's hard to choose just one! There are so many ways! Living as much of a cruelty-free lifestyle is the best way. Living a cruelty-free lifestyle also involves talking to others and speaking out about what you believe. Your own descisions help animals of course but you are only one person. If you can convince just one person, you have the potential of starting a chain reaction. If you can get a few people to understand the amount of cruelty that the average American takes for granted in exchange for a "comfortable lifestyle" then chances are, they will tell more people and the movement spreads. We can only truly eliminate animal cruelty when everyone accepts it as wrong and unless you speak out about what's wrong, there is a definite chance that a few people you know will go their entire lives without knowing about the suffering that animals endure for their "lifestyle."

The MOST important way to help animals is to go vegan – that way you're not supporting their exploitation in any way whatsoever. Plus when others see all the yummy vegan foods you're eating they'll want to go veggie too!
2312 days ago
The most important way to help animals is for the people of the world, to just stop, for like two seconds, and see that animals CANT defend themselves. They cant speak out against their discomfort. We the homo sapiens, need to acknowledge their pain and suffering. And take time out of our day to rid them of that pain. We need to make them our equals, didnt anyone's mothers ever give them the speech "treat others as you would wish to be treated"

The most important way to help animals is by going vegan and convincing others to give it a try. By stopping the consumption and use of animal products, thousands and thousands of animals can be saved! Not only is it a healthier lifestyle, it is better for the environment, and it is much less expensive, something which is especially important given the current state of our country's financial affairs. By being vegan and convincing others to join this lifestyle we could save our economy, our environment, and our animal friends all in one easy, cruelty-free step. It is definitely worth a try.
2312 days ago
Most important way to help animals? I really don't know. But animals and people have one thing in common for sure; they both feel. So when people tell you "Put yourself in that person's shoes" do the same for an animal, and you just might find yourself a great motivator to do something about it 🙂
2312 days ago
Adopting animals and protesting is the most convincing way to help animals. Adopting animals shows how much you really care for them, and giving a helpless animal a warm home to live in not only makes you feel wonderful, it shows the animal that they deserve to have rights and be loved by someone, not just shoved into a cage, abused, or tested on.
Protesting shows people that you will stand up for what you believe in and gives them a little insight of what goes on behind the curtains.

District court judge Michael Schiferl recused himself from presiding over a local murder case.
The case involves Anthony Wright, 42, of Florence. Wright was arrested Aug. 15 on first-degree murder, second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges in connection with the October death of Byron Griffy, longtime funeral home owner in the Lower Arkansas Valley.
On Wednesday, Aug. 28, Schiferl said he was recusing himself because he had just learned that his wife, a teacher at a local intermediate school, was on a leadership team with one of Griffy's family members.
Wright will next appear Wednesday, Sept. 4, in front of District court chief judge Mark MacDonnell to determine if MacDonnell will take the case or assign another judge.
Wright is being held on $1 million bond.

ZF-5855: Strange helper="formText" attribute in Zend_Form_Element_Captcha rendered output
The rendered form output has code like:
where helper attribute is proprietary for html validations, throwing warnings
Meanwhile the bug is fixed, there is a possible workaround how to get rid of this attribute and keep your HTML valid:
$captcha = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha( ... ); unset($captcha->helper);
Patch to add a test and patch the code. Issue was that the captcha element contains a helper variable by changing the getAttribs to unset it later fixes the issue. Changing the scope of the $helper could also fix the intended issue.
Patch applied to trunk and 1.8 release branch -- thanks, Mike!

I'm Tryin'
Last Tuesday night, I sat down to watch a Twins game with the best of intentions. I was feeling a little guilty about not following them as closely as I usually do, so I settled in for a night of baseball.
I lasted four innings.
Right now, the brand of baseball the Twins are playing is both maddening and sad at the same time. The starting pitchers are all youngsters (with Pavano the exception) and thus inconsistent, the bats are nonexistent, and the fielding is atrocious. After four innings against KC on Tuesday night, I saw the starting pitcher get blasted around, the bats do nothing, and the defense throw the ball around like Little Leaguers.
I know I should always root root root for the home team, as the tune implies, but right now I'm only trying to do so. If the Twins were competitive whatsoever it would be much easier, as just watching baseball is nearly enough for me. However, the Twins are hardly doing enough right now to distinguish their games from Spring Training scrimmages.
Like I said, I'm tryin', but right now it's awfully difficult.

Didier Reynders satisfied by the good running of the elections in Kenya
Following the announcement of the official results of the Kenyan presidential election, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders backs the declaration of High Representative Catherine Ashton. He wishes to congratulate the people of Kenya, who turned out peacefully and in large numbers for these important elections.
Today, the election commission officially declared the head of the Jubilee coalition, Uhuru Kenyatta, the winner of the presidential elections. The elections, which also elected governors and local representatives for the first time, were closely monitored by European observers. The latter expressed their admiration for the population's lively engagement in democracy. The turnout was over 80%.
Didier Reynders congratulates the Kenyan people and the democratically-elected representatives for their participation. The international community provided great support. Fortunately, there was no repeat of the violence that scarred the previous elections in 2007 and 2008.
Minister Reynders calls on all Kenyans to respect the results of these democratic elections, in adherence with the Constitution adopted in 2010. Any disputes must be resolved by legal means, with no recourse to violence.

Contracting a methane gas extraction system
Griffin Dewatering Corp.
Crews ensure the HDPE pipe stick-up is plumb and soil compaction requirements are met at the Rapid City (S.D.) Landfill, northeast of Mount Rushmore. Griffin Dewatering Corp. installed 35 methane gas extraction wells made of 6-inch HDPE pipe at depths ranging from 60 to 84 feet. All pipe fusing was performed on site.
At the Hardin County Contained Landfill near Elizabethtown, Ky., a crew from Griffin Dewatering Corp. prepares a Gus Pech Mfg. Co. bucket drill rig to begin constructing methane gas extraction wells. The wells were tied into the landfills existing system via 4-inch HDPE pipe buried in the topsoil.

Griffin Dewatering installed 12 methane gas vents at the Higgerson Landfill, a construction and demolition (C&D) debris landfill in Chesapeake, Va.
Of the three typical ways of removing methane from landfills — venting, burning, and extraction — only the latter properly disposes of the potentially hazardous gas and offers the option of selling it as fuel. Over the last two decades, 594 U.S. gas-to-energy sites have taken advantage of this benefit, generating 1,813 megawatts of electricity and 312 million standard cubic feet a day of gas, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions 30%.
Methane extraction, however, is a complicated and sensitive process that involves drilling wells into landfill cells to extract and move the methane, a naturally occurring byproduct of decomposing organic waste. Methane poses two hazards. Although it's in the air we breathe, it's a health hazard at high concentrations because it displaces oxygen. And it's dangerous because it's highly flammable and potentially explosive.
As a result, engineering and installing an extraction system requires expertise that virtually all owners contract out. Here's what those specialty contractors do and why.
Methane gas extraction wells are constructed by using a drill rig to install boreholes, typically at least 24 inches in diameter, into the landfill to remove the trash and allow for installation of a well screen and casing. Crews use bucket-type drill rigs with the bucket attachment on the end of the drilling stem or a kelly bar attached and drilled into the trash, which is extracted. They remove trash via the borehole one bucket at a time.
Because landfills are filled from the bottom up, the deeper the borehole, the older the trash, and the greater the concentration of methane. Crews monitor the open borehole for low oxygen levels, hydrogen sulfide, and explosive gases.
Boreholes more than 100 feet deep are common. Crews make sure they know the depth so they don't puncture the lower liner or other bottom seal. They install the well, which consists of a slotted or perforated well screen with a cap on the bottom and solid casing to the surface, at the center of the borehole. Depth of the well and length of the well screen depend on where the methane has accumulated.
An expansion joint installed within the well material allows for movement when the landfill settles. Because the well screen and casing — as well as all other fittings, hoses, or piping — must withstand landfill contaminants, they're made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and/or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic pipe.
Next, crews fill the annular space between the well screen and casing and the borehole wall with gravel or rock sized to allow the gas to move easily from the landfill into the well. They place the aggregate from the bottom to near the top of the borehole to allow for maximum extraction. To keep methane from escaping through the top of the borehole, they install a borehole seal of very low permeability or impervious materials, such as bentonite or an HDPE liner seal.
Now that the gas has a path through which to move, crews install a well head at the top of the well casing. If the concentration of methane is minimal and deemed a safe level — and state regulations allow — they install a passive well-head, which vents the gas to the atmosphere. If regulations don't allow passive venting, burning off the methane through individual wells with a flare stack may.
If the landfill is of substantial size and the anticipated quantity of methane precludes flare stacks, or if the gas will be used for other purposes, a series of extraction wells is installed and manifolded into conveyance piping for disposal at a larger flare station.
Well heads typically have a valve, flow measuring device, and sample ports to allow for sampling and temperature testing. This is necessary to regulate the flow from individual wells so as no to over-extract from any one well. Each well head is plumbed to the main collection pipeline with a flexible hose. As with all other materials, these well-heads and hoses must be compatible with methane and are specialty items.
Once on the surface, the piping is installed continuously downhill. Because of its construction, HDPE pipe is usually used for the conveyance pipe and is fused together for a permanent installation. HDPE compensates for temperature-driven expansion and contraction.
If the piping can't be installed downhill, crews install a leachate sump and pump on any low spots. If these points fill with leachate — the liquid condensate from landfill gases or any other liquid that leaches into the landfill — the methane won't be able to move, creating a safety hazard.
The sump is generally made of the same material as the piping, with HDPE the most common. The sump generally is installed into a borehole belowgrade and is attached directly into the pipeline.
Crews install a corrosion-resistant pump into the sump. To prevent a potential fire or explosive hazard, it's usually a pneumatic (air) rather than electric pump. The liquid falls into the lower section of the sump and is pumped away, allowing the gas to continue on its path to disposal.
On large landfills, the conveyance pipe is generally connected to an engineered blower and flare station to create a vacuum that pulls the methane to the station. The gas is then injected into the flare. The flare portion burns the methane and, in some systems, can dispose of the leachate.
On landfills that are large enough, extraction systems also can allow the gas to be converted to fuel. Local companies buy this fuel to power equipment or run generators that, in turn, provide electricity to the surrounding community.

Here's my review of Vain, that will be running in tomorrow's Calendar section of the Orlando Sentinel.
I'm not going to lie. I was nervous about returning to the scene of the crime that was Lyrica.
The club took a much-loved, much-valued nightlife space on 22 S. Magnolia Ave. (formerly Cairo and Renaissance) and pretty much spat on it. Mismanagement and, in my opinion, lack of experience ended that travesty late last year.
Vain, which took over the spot shortly after Lyrica closed, has made the venue a viable downtown Orlando nightlife option once again.
Touting itself as "Orlando's largest club with the biggest attitude," it definitely has the size to back that statement up with three levels of dance space — but I didn't see the attitude. Customer service was top-notch for the most part. There were plenty of bartenders behind the four bars, making for minimal wait times when I stopped by last Saturday night.
Top 40 remixes, hip-hop and reggae dominated the dancing spaces that are on the main level, in the back room upstairs and on the rooftop. The rooftop's DJ really impressed with highly addictive beats and fabulous transitions. The rooftop bartender also impressed with his attentiveness that helped correct a very weak Tanqueray and tonic the husband ordered at the downstairs bar.
While on the subject of drinks, they're kind of pricey here. That Tanqueray and tonic was $8 and a well-brand rum and Coke I had later was $7. That's heading into theme-park pricing territory. For a nice club in downtown Orlando $6 and $5, respectively, are a bit more appropriate. A Michelob Ultra in the bottle and a Magic Hat #9 on draft were $4 each, much more in line with downtown (although I think the Mich Ultra could still be dropped 50 cents).
When Lyrica opened, it looked like the inside of a fraternity house the day after a party. Flooded bathrooms, sticky floors and barely any decor gave the place a trashy vibe (and not in a cool, punk way). Now, some of the walls are painted a rich red while others have slate tile. There's an interesting three-dimensional block feature over the upstairs bar. Black leather VIP seating is throughout the club and surprisingly, there are bar stools at the rooftop bar. But don't get too comfortable — at around 11:30 my stool was politely taken away from me to make more space for dancing.
The VIP seating — for the price of a bottle between $130 (Three Olives vodka) to $1,150 (Armand de Brignac Rose "Ace of Spades" champagne) — was 50 percent filled by midnight. I was surprised considering the economy, but with a mainly early 20-something crowd, there might be more spendable cash in their wallets. Then again if you don't spend the dough on VIP seating, you're not sitting at the club at all.
My favorite part of the evening was the restroom. I'm not joking. The toilets were actually working and I didn't have to roll up my pant legs before entering the stall. When you pay a cover into a club, you hope the plumbing works. At Vain, it now does.
Speaking of covers, when I stopped by last Saturday it was free for women until 11 p.m. and $5 after 11 p.m. It was $10 for men all night.
That's fair. The DJs, bartenders and staff delivered and the club is beautiful (although the stairs and rails could use a coat of paint, too). Laser lighting plays along with what the DJ is spinning downstairs and creates neat visual effects. The club says the lighting is in 3-D. Other than some basic geometrical shapes with the lasers, I'm not sure what that means.
Whatever. If I want to see a light show I'll go to Epcot. I'm just glad to see this spot open as a cool nightclub again.

Pallet Survey: The pulse on pallets
At first glance, the pallet market may appear to evolve at the same pace as those pre-historic looking reptiles found on small, forgotten islands. However, between a shortage of quality used pallets, new requirements from Costco and the introduction of a new pallet pool from a consortium of manufacturers, the past year has seen a number of new developments in the pallet market.
Have those developments filtered down to the manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers among Modern's pallet-using readers? And, what moves our readers when it comes to pallets? Those are among the questions we explored in this year's annual pallet survey.
Read last year's Pallet Survey.
Check out the State of the Pallet Market Webcast from last month.
To answer them, we surveyed e-mail subscribers of Modern as well as a sample of recipients of our e-newsletters. We received 672 qualified responses, defined as a reader who is employed at a location that uses pallets. Here's what we learned.

Tsukioka YOSHITOSHI
1839 - 1892
Yoshitoshi's career straddled two eras – the last years of the Edo period and the first few decades of modern Japan following the Meiji Restoration in 1867. Initially enthusiastic and opened to Western influxes, he became increasingly sceptical about the loss of numerous aspects of traditional Japanese art and culture due to rapid industrialisation and Westernisation. In a time when modern reproductive technologies such as photography and lithography were introduced to Japan and enjoyed high popularity, Yoshitoshi concentrated his efforts in introducing new themes and techniques to the stagnant art of ukiyo-e colour woodblock prints, taking it thus to a new height, before it definitely declined after his death. His highly imaginative, often flamboyant and even disturbing depictions of historical events, warriors, beautiful women and the supernatural has led him to be recognised as the last great master of traditional Japanese woodblock print.

A sense of civic pride and community permeates the newly built Samuel Hadley Public Services Building — a fitting atmosphere for the birthplace of American liberty.
The facility's name honors one of the nation's first patriots, a Lexington, Mass., native (and minuteman) who died at the Battle of Lexington fighting for independence from England. Even the town's public works director is a living nod to local history; as a seventh-generation descendant of Samuel Hadley, William Hadley is carrying on a family tradition of public service.
But don't expect this utilitarian building to look like a quaint historical monument. It was built for the future: to take the next step toward sustainable municipal design. Since its August 2009 opening, it's helped the public works department operate much more safely and less expensively than its centuries-spanning predecessor.
Hadley believes that by setting an example, the facility raises public awareness of the need to manage limited local and national natural resources.
Home to the departments of public works and public facilities, the 9.6-acre campus provides numerous examples of conservation techniques: a rain garden shows how to use rainwater and plants to create a verdant landscape; the front green, which long ago was the town's nursery, takes on the feel of a small arboretum, with educational signs explaining the benefits of planting native species; bio-basins, constructed wetlands, and porous pavement illustrate stormwater management concepts.
Perhaps most significantly for residents, offices wrap around the lobby on both floors — a purposeful and symbolic design element to make residents visibly aware that the building's inhabitants are easily accessible and there to serve them.
In 1929, Lexington bought an 1800s-era trolley barn from the Middlesex and Boston Railway and converted it into a public works building. Other than an addition in 1966, no major upgrades had been made to the facility since then.
"The building was unsafe, unhealthy, and inefficient," says Janet Slemenda, principal for HKT Architects Inc.
A study by a structural engineer in 1990, for example, found that the vehicle storage area was structurally unsound. Though once useful for housing long trolley cars, the building was inadequate for today's vehicles; the wood-columned service bays were so narrow that everything had to be moved before a vehicle parked in the back of the garage could get out. Several garage doors were too short to provide sufficient access for larger vehicles.

Confession: I don't tip doormen.
True, I don't often stay in places that have doormen, but when I do, I bristle at the fact that people give them neatly folded bills just for opening the door. And yet I enjoy overtipping when the service dictates it, such as my hairdresser coming in on her day off to hide my grossly grey roots before I head off to an important conference.
One essential service that I feel is drastically under tipped is the housekeeping department in hotels. We'll tip the waiter who plunks a coke and cheeseburger in front of us, the cabbie who took us 4 blocks without uttering a word, the concierge for picking up the phone and making us a dinner reservation… but the housekeeper who busts her butt meticulously cleaning our room most often gets only her wages.

While chicken is a mainstay of many a diet, my own included, I rarely treat myself to duck, considering it a special occasion poultry. And, truth be told, when I do indulge it's either in Peking Duck or Duck a l'Orange – not only because I love them both, but until recently they were the only duck dishes I knew! But thanks to an assignment to check out how five of our top local restaurants prepare and serve this elegant waterfowl, I intend to be much more experimental from now on because I realize that their very different approaches to duck are only a choice selection of the many duck dishes in town waiting to be discovered.
Some claim duck is too fatty for their liking. And yes, since ducks live in the water, often in cold climates, they have an extra layer of fat under the skin. So, the challenge in cooking it is to get the fat to suffuse the meat and make it extra moist without overpowering it, one cup of duck meat and skin containing about 472 calories, the meat alone about 281.
Pato aficionado and cook Pamela Evans says that what you're looking to achieve is moist flesh with crispy skin and no obvious pieces of fat. Well traveled, she notes that the Chinese hang them over steam pots to pull out the grease and then fry them, the crispy skin highly prized in all their preparations. Meanwhile, the French salt with spices – every country possessing a different way of preparation.
"Duck is now easy to find here and good," she adds, "as well as cheaper than in the States. Up North we tend to think of it as a gourmet food, whereas here it's just another bird, so you can find it at most supermarkets."
Research tells me that China is the world's top duck market, followed by other Southeast Asian countries. Peking Duck is said to have originated some 1,500 years ago, during the Yuan Dynasty, and is considered a national food. Prized for its crispy skin, the duck is roasted while hung in a special closed oven, and sliced in front of diners by the cook. Then a special sauce is spread on a thin pancake, the meat and green onions are placed on top, and it is rolled up into what these days would be called a wrap and enjoyed.
El Arrayan's Signature Duck Carnitas are by far one of the most popular plates served in this welcoming, hacienda-style Mexican restaurant. Committed to rescuing recipes of this country's original gastronomy and giving them a fresh new slant, owner Carmen Porras roasts the bird confit-style, slowly for hours, so it loses the fat. Then a special technique makes it wonderfully crispy and juicy. The portion size a third of a duck, it is presented with an arrayan-orange-guajillo sauce traditionally served with pork carnitas. Yet it translates very well with the duck, providing great contrast. Completing the picture are sautéed, chunky country-style potatoes with garlic and epazote and freshly made corn tortillas. So, you can build your own tacos – three additional homemade sauces always on the table.
Peking Duck at is served on a tranquil airy terrace just steps from bustling Olas Altas. Chinese chef Xu Ji Feng, known here as Miguel, masterfully prepares a plump duck that is crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Both the restaurant and the dish are named after the town of his birth, where he learned the fine art of cooking duck in the traditional Peking style. Presenting the duck whole at your table to lots of oohs and aahs, he then cuts it into manageable pieces, spreads a thin whole wheat tortilla with a fragrant mélange of plum, ciruela, Hosein and bean sauces, tops it with meat and spring onions, and rolls it up in front of you. Delicious!
"Avant Garde" Duck at Café des Artistes can be enjoyed in the Bistro dining room or in a romantic airy garden, where I was presented with both a duck appetizer and main course. The first course consisted of a lasagna-like tower of maigret breast, corn, onion, cream and tomato with tortillas to hold it all together, crowned with arugula drizzled with oil and vinegar. Then the piece de résistance: thinly sliced breast over a leg on a bed of creamy polenta, surprising touches including a honey-ginger sauce and innovative turnip and pumpkin balls dressing up the plate.
French Duck at La Petite is presented in a charming European ambiance with romantic lighting and live piano. Of the three ways it is served here, Duck a l'Orange is the most popular. "It's a very old recipe from the east of France, close to Italy in the high Alps," says chef-owner Nacho Cadena. "Yet it is not easy to cook. One must have a technique to get it just right." Duck Chinoise is roasted, then covered with a special syrup and put back in the oven so it comes out super crispy – like Peking Duck. And Duck a la Beraud honors his grandfather, who was also a chef. Roasted with foie gras and Armagnac liquor, it has a delicate yet hearty taste. Half a duck the normal serving size, the iron roasting pan is lined with a bed of mirepois – a mélange of meat broth, carrots, onions and celery that absorbs the fat and keeps the duck from touching the pan so the heat distributes evenly. Recommended wines to accompany duck are French from the Burgundy region, Chilean made with the Carminiere grape, or a Mexican Casa Madero Shiraz.
Asian Duck at Ztai appears in the form of fabulous tacos, which are often requested in the bar, as well as in the fantasy-like garden and chic dining room. Roasted confit style, chef Roberto Venegas says he sautés the maigret duck with garlic, ginger, red onion, olive oil and a bit of butter and white wine. And these are no ordinary tortillas it's served on! Mexico's influence is felt via the delicacy huitlacoche, or corn mushroom, which is also sautéed and then added to the corn masa. This intriguing dish consists of five tacos surrounding a molcajete tomatillo salsa in a covered basket to keep them warm.
Trio's Second Annual Duck Festival at the end of November 2008 is an excellent opportunity to sample more than a dozen duck dishes. The 2007 15-day Temporada de Pato event in December proved so successful it will run for three weeks next time, says chef and co-owner Bernard Guth. And what a wide-ranging menu it offers! Duck consommé, foie gras, rustic terrine, ravioli, classic confit, smoked and much more, prepared with love, as always. Meanwhile, Trio offers a lot of duck specials throughout the year.

ZF-6289: Zend_Config_Writer_Ini jumbling sections
The issue is with Zend_Config_Writer_Ini. When you build a Zend_Config object and add data elements to it, the writer writes them out to the file in the order they were added. This creates problems when you add sections, then add more root level data to the config afterwards. For example, creating an object like this: $schema = new Zend_Config(array( 'menuName' => $this->menuName, 'tableName' => $this->tableName, 'fields' => array(), 'type' => $this->type, 'order' => $this->order ), true); The fields section is build later (i have the code available but i don't think it matters) but the basic idea is to have a [fields] section with various elements beneath it. When Zend_Config_Writer_Ini writes this out to the file, it will print out like this:
menuName = "Multi Record" tableName = "multi_record" [fields] data = "data"
type = "multi" order = 1
This puts
type and
order under the [fields] section, when it should be up next to tableName and menuName, which is under the root section. I feel the solution would be to process seperate sections last, so all root keys are not written at the bottom like this changing their context.
Fixed in r21983.
You've marked this as fixed in 1.10.4, but it doesn't seem to have been merged from trunk to the branch?
Is there a reason it wasn't merged?
I only commited my changes to trunk but there shouldn't be any problems to not merge them to the mentioned branch or a newer one.
Applied to branch release-1.10 in r22869.
