This article is from May, but wow what a crazy statistic. I guess there was just no room for Corzine…From The Economist:
Excessive incarceration is an American problem. The country has about 5% of the world's population but almost 25% of its prisoners, with the world's largest number of inmates and highest per capita rate of incarceration. California eagerly participated in this trend of locking up ever more people. During Mr Brown's previous stint as governor in the 1970s the state switched to more inflexible sentencing. It then spent another two decades adding "tough-on-crime" laws that kept extending sentences even for minor crimes.
The resulting prison-building boom, and rapacious bargaining by the prison-guards union, meant that state penitentiaries became the fastest-growing major cost in the state budget. California's 33 prisons and associated camps therefore bear no small responsibility for the state's recurring budget crises, and the resultant crunch on school and university funding.

Just so you know, I am not the type to say "one day you'll be glad this happened."
I am not glad that there was a fire.
But it was a lifetime (or three) ago and, for whatever reason, what came out of it was almost all good. There was very little bad that came out of it, except for an expensive 1984 when I replaced clothes and books.
There's really no point to this essay. I have no words of wisdom — especially not for any Sandy victims who have lost much more than their belongings. I only know that every day you're alive is a day you should try to keep moving forward. Backward isn't good and stagnant gets dull.
How's that for some valuable insight?

With forecasted temperatures dropping into the single digits over the weekend the Columbus City Utilities is recommending that customers take precautions to prevent their home water lines becoming frozen.
Leaving a small amount of water (no more than a pencil lead thickness) run in the faucet farthest from the water source, or next to an outside wall can prevent pipes from freezing.
Prevent Frozen Pipes
During the winter months customers need to be particularly mindful in preventing their pipes from freezing. There are some things you should not do and other things you should.
- If there is snow covering your meter pit, leave it there. Snow cover acts as an insulating barrier and can help prevent the meter inside from freezing.
- Don't open your pit or tamper with the valve inside. It's against local code for anyone but Utility personnel to work in the meter pits and vaults. Without the proper tools the valves can be fragile and this damage can be charged back to the customer. Also, being underground chambers, the pits can sometimes collect dangerous gases from other sources.
When freezing is a possibility, there are some things you can do to help prevent disasters.
- Open vanity and cabinet doors to expose pipes to the inside, warmer temperatures.
- Let a small (pencil-lead thin) stream of water run. Moving water is much less likely to freeze than water standing in a pipe. Make sure all crawl space openings are closed and if possible insulate the opening.
- Use wrap insulation on pipes in unheated areas.
If your pipes do freeze, FIRST call the Columbus Utilities. If the problem is in our meter pit we will thaw it out and get you back in service. If the problem is beyond the meter in your plumbing we will be able to identify it and you will then need to contact a plumber.

"To me, Chuck Berry always was the epitome of rhythm and blues playing, rock and roll playing. It was beautiful, effortless, and his timing was perfection. He is rhythm supreme." – Keith Richards
The very first Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony got under way on January 23, 1986, in New York City, with Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones ripping off his tuxedo jacket, revealing a flashy leopard-print jacket underneath, in true rock and roll style. That inaugural evening, Richards – Chuck Berry's biggest fan – inducted his long-time idol, noting, "…this is the gentleman who started it all!" The ceremony itself was a melting pot of all that created rock and roll – country, gospel, the blues, rockabilly and rhythm & blues – with several of the initial inductees on stage, including Jerry Lee Lewis, Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers, who stood beside Lewis' piano bopping and clapping his hands, and Chuck Berry.
With a who's who of rock and roll pioneers on the same stage as contemporary legends and Berry acting as bandleader, encouraging his progenies, all-star jams ensued. Inductees Keith Richards (1989), John Fogerty (1993), Neil Young (1995), Billy Joel (1999) and Steve Winwood (2004) make up Berry's band with Ahmet Ertegun (1987) jamming in the background.
"Reelin' and Rockin'" was among the tunes chosen for the jam session. Halfway through the performance, Berry pulls Julian Lennon to the microphone, providing backup vocals as a young Sean Lennon stands side-stage playing a tambourine. "Reelin' and Rockin'" was recorded in 1957, between December 20-30, at Chess Records in Chicago. It was released in January 1958 as a b-side to "Sweet Little Sixteen," and didn't chart until it was re-released as a live recording in 1972 on the part-live/part-studio album The London Chuck Berry, when it went to Number 27 on the U.S. chart and Number 18 in the U.K. The song proved to be Berry's final Top 40 hit in both the U.S. and the U.K.
The Berry tune, "Roll Over Beethoven" fueled another jam session during the 1986 Hall of Fame induction ceremony. During the jam, Berry, always the consummate performer, bursts into his signature stage move: the duckwalk. The origins of the duckwalk can be traced back to bluesman T-Bone Walker, but Berry made it a part of popular culture. In his autobiography, Berry states that he used the duckwalk to entertain his family as a child and in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1956, he says that he performed the duckwalk onstage for the first time to hide wrinkles and pleats in the silk suit he was wearing at a show in New York City. The audience loved his moves, so he began incorporating them into every show.
According to Rolling Stone, Berry wrote "Roll Over Beethoven" in response to his sister Lucy who was always using the family piano to play classical music, where Berry wanted to play popular music. In addition to classical composers, the lyrics allude to popular artists such as Louis Jordan, Carl Perkins and Bo Diddley. The song was recorded at Chess Records in Chicago on April 16, 1956, released in May and spent five weeks on the charts at Number 29. In 2003, the rock and roll masterpiece was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry and in 2004, was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time." Unsurprisingly, it's one of the most widely covered songs in music history, with versions by the Beatles, Leon Russell, the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, Jerry Lee Lewis, Gene Vincent, Johnny Rivers, Johnny Winter, Mountain, the Electric Light Orchestra, to name a few.
Lewis, a contemporary of Berry's once remarked, "[My mama] said, you and Elvis are good, but you're no Chuck Berry." At the end of this all-star performance of "Roll Over Beethoven," Berry walks over to the piano where Lewis is stationed, just after Lewis finishes the song by sitting on the piano keys, and they lock hands with Ahmet Ertegun – a rock and roll hand shake. By grasping hands, they seemingly solidify the fact that they made it – all the way to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In the male-dominated cultures of the Middle East, very few women wield influence. One visible exception: Princess Ghida Talal of Jordan, who's saving the lives of scholars threatened by political regimes through her work with the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund (IIE/SRF). Over the past decade, the organization has helped academics escape dangerous conditions in 45 countries and recently rescued more than 230 scholars from Iraq. Through Princess Ghida's efforts, many of these Iraqis have gained safe haven in Jordan in the past four years—a coup for the SRF, which has not had the same success in other Arab nations.
Born in Lebanon, she studied at Georgetown University, then worked as a journalist for ABC News in London and for the London Sunday Times in Argentina. In 1991 she reconnected with Prince Talal of Jordan (whom she'd met in Washington, D.C.), then a close adviser to his uncle, King Hussein. She and the prince married that year and moved to Jordan, where she created an international press office for the king and served as his press secretary until his death eight years later.
Princess Ghida is now chairperson of the King Hussein Cancer Center, which she helped transform from a dismal, underfunded clinic to one of the top hospitals in the world. Dubbed an activist royal, she also works to destigmatize cancer in the Middle East.
As we sit down to talk, Princess Ghida, dressed casually in jeans and a purple cashmere sweater, pours tea and serves cake. Old Islamic art as well as huge Warhol paintings grace the walls of the family home, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the countryside. "We call it the House of Blessings," she says with a smile.
Q Scholars have been targets of violence in Iraq. Why are they in danger?
A During a conflict or when an oppressive regime has taken hold, one of the first things to happen is an effort to destroy education and intellectual discourse. Academics are considered a challenge to authority and control. When I learned that scholars in Iraq were being harassed and killed, persecuted for the simple crimes of thinking and publishing, I wanted to play a role in rescuing them. I joined the board of SRF and began reaching out to Jordanian universities and people in government about hosting scholars.
Q Can you describe the situation in Iraq?
A Hundreds of academics began contacting SRF in 2007, saying they were being attacked. They didn't know who was targeting them, but many were kidnapped. Some were shot at in the streets. Saddam [Hussein] had people under a tight rein, but generally he cared about learning. His regime collapsed, and there was, and still is, lawlessness. My husband describes it as a Lord of the Flies scenario. When symbols of authority have failed, people fear that the scholars could be the next leaders. It's shocking, because 25 years ago, most of the country had a great tradition of learning. There was a saying that books are written in Cairo, published in Beirut and read in Iraq.
Q Do you worry about scholars leaving the Middle East for good?
A We consider this program brain protection or brain gain. The whole point of SRF is to help on a temporary basis so scholars can continue their work and one day go back to their home country. We connect them to universities around the world, help them find housing and give them grants of about $20,000 per year. Some of the Iraqi scholars have been brought to America and Europe, but most want to stay close to their own students.
Q Other Arab countries, however, are not supportive of Iraqi refugees.
A The other Arab countries have not shown the same interest, and the wealthy ones have different priorities. Qatar is spending $4 billion to build football stadiums for the World Cup, and Dubai is investing $13.5 billion in its culture village. It's fine to build museums, but why not also give the small amount needed to save one of our own Arab scholars?
Q What's your reaction to the treatment of women in the Middle East?
A You feel your blood boiling. But the only way to respond after the initial anger is by soldiering on. Jordan has made major headway with regard to women. It's not perfect, but we have equal opportunities in terms of education. Women work as doctors and in government. I don't know if I can say there is complete equality, but I wonder if you would consider women in the United States completely equal in terms of jobs, either.
Q What are the issues women scholars face in your region?
A They face more persecution than men. Oppressive regimes do not tolerate the idea of a woman existing, let alone writing and publishing. Some of the Iraqi women scholars who were rescued went through indescribable horrors. Many were beaten; they saw their husbands killed or their children kidnapped. About 20 percent of the [SRF] scholars are women. That's not a bad percentage, because men constitute a greater percentage of scholars than women nearly everywhere.
Q You're deeply involved with the King Hussein Cancer Center. Is this personal for you?
A Yes. My husband and I had been married only six months when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We had the privilege of traveling to the U.S. for his care, and I wanted so much that other wives would have the same opportunity forhope that I had. When I began as chairperson of the center, we had a couple of full-time doctors and very inadequate treatment. I wanted to make sure that cancer was no longer a death sentence in the Middle East. I met with the National Cancer Institute in the U.S., which agreed to send doctors to us if we met certain criteria. Now we have about 170 oncologists, and we're the only center in the developing world to have accreditation. People from Arab countries get treatment in line with international standards, and there's a goodwill fund for the underprivileged.
Q Is there still a stigma to cancer among Arab women?
A Yes. In our part of the world, 70 percent of women with breast cancer used to be diagnosed at stages 3 and 4, when it's less curable. We started an aggressive campaign for early detection. In three years we've been able to cut that statistic in half.
Q Many organizations in Jordan have a "royal patron" who lends his title to the cause. But you've gone far beyond that. Why?
A The global culture has flattened, and a title means less and less. You have to be engaged in society. I suppose if I were aloof, I could hear a lot of "Yes, Your Royal Highness." But what would that mean? I wouldn't have the respect of people—and that is what I care about. The world has changed, and nobody speaks of royals in hushed tones anymore.

Michelle Casillas is in the sixth year of her second stint as the diving coach at UC San Diego in 2015-16. She previously served in the same capacity for two seasons from September 2004 to March 2006.
Both the UCSD men's and women's squads won their seventh consecutive Pacific Collegiate Swimming & Diving Conference (PCSC) titles in 2015. Casillas took four of her divers, three men and then-sophomore Allyson Cohen, to the 2014 NCAA Championships. Senior Luke Calkins advanced to the main draw and became a first-time All-American with an eighth-place effort in the three-meter event. Adam Springer earned a return trip to the 2015 NCAA Championships.
Prior to the 2014 national meet, Calkins was the NCAA's recipient of the Elite 89 award for having the top grade-point average of any male swimmer or diver participating in the championships in Geneva, Ohio. Calkins also left the program as a three-time Capital One Academic All-American, and earned a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
In 2011-12, the Tritons duplicated their second- and third-place showings, respectively, at the NCAA Division II Swimming & Diving Championships in Mansfield, Texas. Casillas qualified three men's divers to the NCAA meet, after Tyler Runsten had won a third straight PCSC crown in the three-meter event. She was named PCSC Men's Diving Coach of the Year.
In 2010-11, Casillas coached Runsten, then a sophomore, to a second-place finish on the three-meter springboard at the 2011 NCAA Championships in San Antonio, Texas. He also took fifth in the one-meter.
With Runsten winning from three meters at the 2011 PCSC meet, Calkins, a freshman at the time, placed third, and Patrick Cohen was seventh. In the one-meter event, Runsten took second while Calkins was fourth and Cohen was sixth.
Since Casillas has been with the Tritons, UCSD produced the first two NCAA All-American divers since the program moved up to Division II for the 2000-01 season.
Casillas served as a master trainer/manager at Guaranteed Fitness, a health coach at StayWell Health Management, a gym director at The Little Gym and a personal trainer at Snap Fitness prior to returning to UCSD. Certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Casillas has nearly eight years of training and coaching experience.
Casillas competed as a varsity diver for the University of Nevada from August 1997 to January 2000, earning All-Big West Conference honors four times. She then joined the varsity diving team at Florida State University, where she competed from August 2000 to March 2002 and was a three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference performer. She graduated from Florida State in 2002 with a bachelor's degree in sports management.
Casillas resides in Temecula with her husband and two children.

As much as I love and appreciate the meditative quiet of a good snow fall, we've had a lot of opportunity to meditate lately and I'm starting to feel a little restless. In order to shake off the calm I've turned the radio up high, shelved the picture-less books and am reveling in any bright colors I can find. I'm paying particular attention to the catalogs printed in full color on glossy stock and taking breaks for hits of high color in the greenhouse. I even ventured outside (briefly – brrr!) to find a bright spot out there.
Are you looking for bright colors right now too? Where are you finding them?

Marianela Toro always served as her family's caregiver. But when a massive stroke permanently paralyzed the left side of her body, the family she used to care for suddenly struggled to care for her.
Ms. Toro's sister, Ana Ventura, earns less than $1,000 per month by bringing food carts to patients at Roosevelt Hospital. She asks for overtime to help meet expenses. Her son, Yadriel, 12, pitches in by buying chocolate bars in bulk and selling them to classmates.
Yet together, they were unable to pay their rent while caring for Ms. Toro, now wheelchair bound.

What lies beneath
The company offers high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe for a range of applications, including municipal, marine, landfill, and duct. The pipe resists corrosion and chemicals, performs well in rugged terrains and extreme climates, and because of its flexibility is well suited for dynamic soils. Plastics Pipe Institute data indicates a design life of 100 years. Total Petrochemicals USA. www.totalpetrochemicalsusa.com.
Cam-Lock joint restraints for water pipe lines are designed with fewer wedges in many restraint sizes, resulting in lower bolt torque, less point loading, and reduced pipe fatigue. Plus, users don't have to remove washers or modify fittings for IPS pipe size. The joint restraints are UL listed and FM approved. For easier field installations, Bell-Lock joint restraints offer single wrench assembly and bidirectional serrations. All are color coded for easy identification. Smith-Blair Inc. www.smith-blair.com.
With direct-bury strength of 46 psi, the A2 Liner Pipe doesn't depend on the host pipe to maintain long-term structural performance; and its double-wall design provides extra stiffness for better shape control during installation and grouting. Available in standard 12- to 36-in. diameters and 10-to 20-ft. lengths, custom lengths as short as 2-½ ft. are available. CONTECH Construction Products Inc. www.contech-cpi.com.
Available in stainless steel, carbon steel, and polyethylene with four types—pull-on, wraparound, zipper, and molded—of end seals, these spacers provide protection from electrical shorting when centering water and sewer pipes within casings. They're virtually corrosion-proof and require no grease, special tools, or backfill, making installation a one-person job. Also available are field-adjustable runners for metal casing spacers for easy grade and elevation adjustment of gravity sewer lines. Advance Products & Systems. www.apsonline.com.
The Jaws' patented design gives each jet its own conduit, which tightens the jet pattern and sends the water stream farther down the pipe for more powerful cleaning. The nozzle is effective in 8- to 24-inch-diameter pipe. NozzTeq Inc. www.nozzteq.com.
The Pro-Span's drastically reduced body diameter accommodates side-by-side PVC pipe repairs. The body of the repair coupling can now be used as a handle when gluing both ends to the broken pipe; its Easy-Grip edges ensure a firm grip, even with wet or muddy hands; True-Cut technology automatically positions piston seals in the body to eliminate joint-separation stress; and a dual seal protects the repair from future leaks. NDS Inc. www.ndspro.com.
By incorporating weir and dividing plates into larger diameter corrugated HDPE pipes, the Counter Flow Technology water quality unit treats the "first flush" of storm events to meet NPDES regulations. It intercepts and treats stormwater by redirecting and lengthening the flow travel path to achieve slower velocities and increased settling times. A final chamber removes hydrocarbons and floatable debris before reintroducing the treated flow into the storm drainage system. Lane Enterprises. www.lane-enterprises.com.
This welding kit includes everything you need to repair SCH 40 and 80 PVC piping systems: a programmable hot air tool with adjustable heat and airflow, a pipe-welding nozzle, and a 2-lb. supply of PVC, PE, or PP welding rod. The kit is also available with nozzles for repairing liners, tanks, and other products. Malcom Co. Inc. www.malcomcompany.com.

Trail Running for Beginners
Pipeline Trail (Mill Creek Canyon)
Type: Out and Back
Distance: Up to 8 miles
The Pipeline might be the busiest trail in Mill Creek, but that's understandable. The trail is wide for a single track, and from Burch Hollow to the Salt Lake Valley overlook, there's little change in elevation. The trail meanders along the northern slope of the canyon, where the packed clay mimics a high school track. There are only a few rocky sections, which mainly begin once you pass Rattlesnake Gulch on your way to the overlook.
There are excellent views of the open canyon along the length of the trail, so those just getting started have nothing to lose by pulling up short and heading back to Burch Hollow. Runners wanting to add a little variation or intensity can start at Elbow Fork or run down Rattlesnake Gulch, a brutal slope in both directions.
Getting there: Take exit 4 off of I-215 and drive north on Wasatch Boulevard to 3800 South. Turn right, and continue on this road for 4.3 miles past the fee station to the Burch Hollow trailhead (4.3 miles) or to Elbow Fork (6.1 miles). Both trailheads are on the north side of the canyon.

Hayekis having the time of her life, both professionally and personally. Not giving birth until age 41 was "the best thing that ever happened to me," she says. "I think I'm a better person now, I understand things better now, so I can be a better guide. I've done a lot of things with my life that I'm satisfied with. So I don't have the sensation that a child is limiting me. If I sometimes have to stop everything and just be a mother, I'm like, 'Ooh, that's cool. I love it.' It's different for everyone, but in my case, it was better to do it now. Not to mention I found the right guy now, too."
Hayek sounds giddily, happily married, which thrills her, because she didn't think she could be. Though she'd had her share of high-profile boyfriends, including the actor Edward Norton, "I didn't think marriage worked," she says. "I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable—that it was something they just put up with for their children."
Instead, she's delighted that she still feels in love. "And my God, you have a partner who's there with you and for you," she says enthusiastically. "I have a master of decision making helping me out, so of course my life and my career are better. I really enjoy having somebody that I can be weak with. If I'm insecure or afraid, I can talk about it, and he'll give me strength and courage. I noticed in the past, a lot of guys who like strong women, they really freak out if you're not strong 24/7. Or they complain about you being strong, then the moment you're not strong, they're like, 'Oh, no, no, no.' With us, there's no power struggle. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me, and he feels the same way."
Her professional life is equally strong. Hayek enjoys her work more than ever—"now that I don't have to work," she interjects, laughing and swatting my arm. "It's so much more fun! The minute I didn't have that huge pressure over my shoulders, I started getting more work." Her electrifying, slyly comic mix of the maternal and the lethal stood out in Savages. In the French independent film Americano, released in the U.S. last June, she played a struggling Tijuana prostitute and performed an erotic striptease.
"I was in the best shape of my life," she says with a grin. "I exercised, dieted. I was so excited about my body. I thought, I can do this! This can happen!" Then, the day before filming started, she aggravated an old ankle injury and, with no budget for reshoots, had to do much of the dance lying down. "But it worked for the character and turned out to be very sexy," she says. "I thought, What the heck. This for sure will be the last prostitute I ever play. In the next one, I'll be the madam." She laughs.
It's easy to see Hayek in a sexy role; more surprising, perhaps, is her involvement in another new film, this month's Here Comes the Boom with Kevin James, best known for the TV series The King of Queens. Hayek plays a high school nurse who helps a teacher (James) become a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter to save their school's music program. "I take things for a lot of reasons that make no sense for anyone else," Hayek says. In this case, she came aboard because of her affection for James and for Adam Sandler, whose company produced the film. "I love them and their wives. I'll go with them anywhere, I don't care what the movie is. Because we have fun, they take care of my child, it's a great family environment." She's happily impressed with the way Boomturned out. "One of my favorite movies is Rocky," she says, "and this is in that vein of sporty movies where the underdog succeeds."

Link between Ponzi scheme suspect, bombs still unclear
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 4:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 4:29 p.m.
The connection between the alleged mastermind of a Ponzi scheme and a cache of bombs discovered in a Wilmington-area storage unit remains unclear.
Istvan "Steve" A. Merchenthaler, 42, is in custody in Philadelphia on charges of fronting a Ponzi scheme that defrauded $2 million from investors between 2006 and 2011, federal court records show. It is unclear whether the motive for the pipe bombs will be disclosed during the trial. Attempts to reach Merchenthaler's attorney or federal prosecutors were not successful.
FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch said she could not comment further on the investigation.
"The matter is ongoing," she said.
On Feb. 20, the FBI, N.C. State Bureau of Investigation, New Hanover County Sheriff's Office and Wilmington Police Department Bomb Squad searched a storage unit at North State Storage on Carolina Beach Road allegedly rented by Merchenthaler. A pipe bomb found in the unit was detonated after officers shot it with water. Later, at least one other explosive device was intentionally detonated after it was buried and topped with sandbags, according to officials. Law enforcement officials have not released how many bombs – made from 12-inch-long sections of PVC piping – were discovered in the storage unit in Wilmington.
Merchenthaler has also been connected to a bomb cache found March 7 in Pennsylvania. A Philadelphia bomb squad found some 60 pipe bombs in the Malvern, Pa., storage unit. The bombs were detonated in a nearby park.
Noelle Talley, spokeswoman for the N.C. Department of Justice, referred all calls about the case to the FBI.
Merchenthaler faces charges of wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, money laundering, filing a false tax return and transportation of stolen goods. Merchenthaler is accused of taking $2 million from 200 investors when he claimed to be the founder of PhoneCard USA, a "premier distribution source" for prepaid phone cards and cell phones. The indictment alleges he told investors PhoneCard USA had contracts with Walmart, 7-Eleven, and BJ's Wholesale Club, and that the company had $4.8 million in monthly revenues.
He was awaiting trial in Pennsylvania on the Ponzi scheme when he allegedly cut off his ankle monitor and fled Pennsylvania in a stolen car, court records indicate. It's believed he came to Wilmington where he rented a home on Mainsail Lane under an assumed name, and also rented the unit at North State Storage. Merchenthaler was arrested Feb. 15 in Maryland in a vehicle stolen out of Cary.
The Ponzi scheme trial is set for June 20.

The event will take place at the Fallen Workers Memorial outside the Labor and Industries Building on the Capitol Mall in Salem.
The memorial service will feature the reading of the names of Oregon workers who died on the job in 2012. Oregon OSHA Administrator Michael Wood and Oregon AFL-CIO President Tom Chamberlain will also be among the speakers at the ceremony.
"Each year, we hope to see the list of fallen workers diminish until we do not have a list to read from at all," said Chamberlain. "Until that day, we will continue to fight for safe working conditions. As we add jobs to Oregon's economy and get more people back to work, it is crucial that Oregon employers continue to prioritize safety at the workplace – anything else would be unacceptable and undermine the years of hard work we all have put in to strengthening our workplace protections."
"So many of these deaths are readily preventable, the result of problems that can easily be addressed by employer compliance with our rules and with safe work practices," said Wood. "That can make Workers Memorial Day a frustrating experience for those of us who attend each year. But that is also why it is an important event. Because we can, indeed, do better. And we must never forget that."
Through a partnership of labor, business, and government working together to improve workplace safety and health conditions in Oregon, the number of fatal workplace incidents eligible for workers' compensation benefits has been cut by roughly three-quarters since the Oregon Safe Employment Act was enacted in 1973.
The Oregon AFL-CIO represents more than 250,000 working Oregonians and their interests, including good jobs, health care, retirement security, and restoring the middle class. The Oregon AFL-CIO – A Strong Voice for Oregon's Middle Class.

In the late 1860s, chili was frontier food.
The mixture of dried beef, suet, chili peppers and salt was pounded together into compact bricks and left to dry in the hot sun was a regional dish enjoyed by those in Texas and neighboring Louisiana.
Easily transported, these bricks could be dropped into a pot of boiling water on the trail to make a stew-like soup for settlers and cowboys trekking across the Midwest.
Most of us have had an experience or two that we really can't figure out.
I was reminded that I as watched and read about the tornado in neighboring York County on Nov. 16 that took three lives.
All it takes is something like that to bring forgotten memories to mind.
Married servicemen often find it tough to secure housing for their families when reporting to a new duty station.
I was no different.
When Beverly Dozier's family went around the table to say what they were thankful for during Thursday's Thanksgiving meal she didn't hesitate.
Dozier is thankful for her gently-used brown corduroy coat and how it's taken on a new meaning in her life.
Andrew Garris may not have been at the Columbia home of Dozier's brother to hear her sentiments Thursday, but he is just as thankful for that coat.

Thanks to cyberspace, cell phones, Twitter, and e-mail, reaching someone halfway around the world is almost instantaneous with very little face to face interaction.
There's nothing wrong with using technology to your advantage, but that's not always the way the Rev. T. Edward Kofi, director of African Christians Fellowship International (ACFI) does things. Yes, Kofi has a Facebook page, but he prefers to reach out in love.
There is a quotation by Albert Einstein tacked up in my work cubicle. He was a genius when it comes to capillary forces, general relativity, matter-energy equivalence and how light from another star can be bent by the sun's gravity.
It isn't Einstein's ability to comprehend atomic vibrations, wave-point duality and critical opalescence that I respect. Gosh, I have trouble just spelling Brownian motion and thermodynamic fluctuations, much less discerning what all of that means.
This tender, moist cake uses pureed pumpkin to replace much of the fat and is delicately seasoned with classic Thanksgiving flavors and can be made ahead of time.
Glazed Chocolate-Pumpkin Bundt Cake
1 cup all-purpose, flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, (not Dutch-process)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
For years, there were two vacant lots between our house and the one where the family of building contractor Mr. Barney Gardner lived.
Those overgrown fields were the setting for many adventures such as fighting wild animals in the jungle or standing off an Indian attack on the prairie.
But all good things eventually come to an end. One of the fields disappeared when Mr. Ned Gregory, Sr., and his wife Mrs. Lucille, built a two-story brick house next door to us.
Most of the time, the doctor does the talking and the patient does the listening. Some physicians are even apprehensive about dropping their guard to pray with patients.
However, that's not the case for cancer specialist Dr. Kashyap Patel of Carolina Blood and Cancer Care, or at least not anymore.
Now, Patel, the vice chief of staff for Springs Memorial Hospital, does both.
Editor's note – The Lancaster News recently asked readers on Facebook to share the names of some of the county's best foodies. One of them is Cathy Ardrey.
Cathy Ardrey's family thinks she's a great cook, with good reason.
From vegetables to wild game and seafood, Ardrey has an arsenal of dishes, many of which she's developed herself or adapted from recipes found in her cookbook library.
Cool mornings and warm afternoons pretty much sum up the weather on Chesterfield Avenue this week. We wrapped up a few of the big pears in tissue paper and placed them in a corner of the back porch.
Those pears will taste just right around Thanksgiving.
The talk of the town was politics, chewing tobacco, elephants and airplanes, depending on what circle you ran with.
Editor's note – The Lancaster News recently asked readers on its Facebook page to share memories on family members who proudly served in the United States military. Here is Mickey R. Hinson Sr.'s story on his dad, the late John Harry Hinson, who died Feb. 16, 2008, at the age of 92.
This was my father in the U.S. Army infantry in Germany and Italy in World War II.
What turns a dish into a comfort food?
There is no simple answer.
Scientists who study happiness theorize that it happens whenever nostalgia meets nourishing food in a nourishing environment.
With comfort food, it's never about the amount of money that is spent.
For some, it may be when we are surrounded by family and friends enjoying a no-frills meal that includes old-fashioned meat loaf, macaroni and cheese or a green bean casserole.
Lancaster folks were a bit antsy the last week of October 1940.
All of this war stuff was taking a toll.
James Williams of Route 4 and Henry Flynn of Elm Street were among the first soldiers whose draft numbers were drawn from a fish bowl in Washington, D.C., that week.
It had been a tough week. Friday night's weather had messed up the football game between Lancaster and Fort Mill. The game ended in a 7-7 tie. Some didn't go 'cause of the rain and the ones who went were mad about the outcome.
These days, translating "de mortuis nihil nisi bonum" from Latin is easy. Just Google it. It means "of the dead (say) nothing but good."
But those around Lancaster County didn't heed that advice 155 years ago when mysterious innkeeper Milt Chaney swung from a scaffold outside the Lancaster County Jail on Gay Street.
Heirloom pumpkins, mums, autumn wreaths, flags and pillows add special touches that greet the season at the home of Frank and Corinne Brackett, located at 714 Plantation Road.
These special touches and the natural beauty of the landscaping prompted the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs to choose the Bracketts for the October Yard of the Month. Selected by Betsy Folks and Sheila Roberts of The Lancaster Garden Club, the Brackett yard is loaded with perfect fall flavors.
It's almost Halloween and it seems I'm the only one in the family who is excited about it.
Sometimes, my offspring can be a bunch of fuddy-duddies. But that's OK. I'll take up the slack for their indifference by setting the mood, just as I did last year.
With great-grandkids running around under foot and nobody else showing much interest, I figured it was up to me to teach them the intricacies of trickin' and treatin.'

For Jan Hicks, the pink ribbon on her Springs Memorial Hospital employee badge isn't a reminder that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
As a registered nurse and case manager, Hicks doesn't need a decal on her name tag to remember that.
Right now, many in the medical field are supporting men and women who have survived, or are battling breast cancer.
That comes with the territory for Hicks and her colleagues.
We've sprung through spring and splashed through summer. Autumn splendor is on its way; Carolina blue skies will backdrop leaves of ambers, ochres and rich reds. Temperatures will drop and fall foliage will soon follow. Don't miss a chance this year to see fall in all its majesty.
While there are countless locations to enjoy autumn colors right here in Lancaster County – including your own backyard – you can also pack a picnic and take a day or weekend trip to soak up the changing of seasons.
