text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH91285 Plaintiff ) Citation No: H558809390 ) Defendant ) D R JOHNSON LUMBER COMPANY ) OPINION AND ORDER Hearing convened in Roseburg, Oregon on January 30, 1992. Plaintiff, Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OR OSHA), was represented by Assistant Attorney General Kevin Shuba. Defendant employer, DR Johnson Lumber Company, was represented by attorney Don Leach. Business Support Services recorded the proceedings. The record was left open for the parties to submit stipulated testimony of Nellie Baker and Karen Turnbow. Following receipt of that stipulation closing argument was heard in an unrecorded telephone conference on March 23, 1992. The parties waived recording of closing argument. The record closed on March 23, 1992. ISSUES The first issue to be resolved is defendant's prehearing motion to dismiss. Referee Mongrain issued a preliminary ruling on this motion before the hearing; however, at the parties' request I will discuss and decide this issue in this order. At hearing, defendant raised additional arguments why the citation should be dismissed. Those arguments will also be addressed herein. Defendant also moved to vacate all penalties on procedural grounds. Finally, defendant challenges OR OSHA's citation of July 19, 1990. Defendant challenges all items (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-6, 2-7, and 2-8). Defendant contends that it committed none of the alleged violations. Further it contends that even if it did commit the violations, the penalties are excessive. (The only items with penalties assessed are items 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5.) FINDINGS OF FACT GENERAL FINDINGS OF FACT On June 28, 1990, defendant was logging at a site known as the Snowball Sale about 25 miles south of Glide, Oregon. On that day, Scott Haviland, a Senior Safety Compliance Officer (SCO) for OR OSHA inspected defendant's logging operation. The SCO conducted that inspection as part of his assigned duty which at that time was inspecting logging operations in Douglas County. As a general practice and in this case, the SCO determines from information available at US Forest Service offices where logging is being done in his region. He generally conducts area inspections, that is inspecting various logging operations in a discrete geographic area. The reason inspections are conducted in this manner rather than scheduled as are fixed places of employment is that logging is a mobile industry. Logging is a hazardous industry. During the inspection, the SCO observed several apparent safety violations. He took field notes about the violations and, after referring to various administrative regulations, filled out an inspection supplement which listed each violation the SCO believed occurred. The SCO sometimes consults agency program directives which explain how OR OSHA interprets some of its rules. The SCO did not consult any such directives in this case. The SCO has learned in meetings about the agency's interpretation of certain rules such as the rules concerning rating probability and severity. OR OSHA also has a technical services section which gives written interpretations of rules as they apply to specific situations. None of these interpretations was used by the SCO in this case. Each alleged violation was rated by the SCO according to probability of an accident and potential severity of an accident. The citation was issued from OR OSHA's central office in Salem on July 19, 1990. The citation is directly based on the SCO's inspection supplement. In the case of each violation alleged in this citation, the penalty is based on the SCO's determination of probability and severity. Defendant has a lost work day incidence rate which is lower than the industry average. Defendant appealed the violation on July 25, 1990. OR OSHA referred the appeal of the citation to the Hearings Division on October 5, 1990; however, the Hearings Division has no record of receiving this referral until July 25, 1991. On November 18, 1991, the Hearings Division issued a Notice of Hearing setting the hearing for January 30, 1992, the date it actually took place. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 1-1 Defendant was using a Madill 071 yarder in a running skyline logging operation. The Madill yarder was anchored by three guylines. All three guylines showed obvious damage in the form of kinks, broken crown wires, crushing, and rust. Four employees per day are exposed to this hazard. There is a high probability of an accident being caused by this hazard. Should such an accident occur, it could result in death. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 1-2 A Bucyrus Erie line shovel was in operation at the site. The right side of the gantry had been broken and welded back on. The seams of the weld were incompletely welded. The pendant line was causing the right side of the gantry to twist. Four employees were exposed to this hazard daily. This hazard creates a moderate probability of an accident. If such an accident occurred, it could cause death. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 1-3 When the SCO began his inspection, the rigging slinger's hard hat was flattened on top. Later the SCO noted that it had been hammered out to give it a more rounded shape. The hard hats of the rigging slinger, the hooktender and the chasers all showed obvious structural damage. Three workers were exposed to this hazard daily. There were overhead hazards in the area daily. This hazard creates a moderate probability of a serious accident. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 1-4 A D7 cat which is equipped with rollover protective structures had no seatbelts. One employee per week is exposed to this hazard. This hazard creates a low probability of a serious injury. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 1-5 A Chevrolet fuel truck on the site had a severely shattered windshield which obstructed the view of the driver. One employee per month is exposed to this hazard. This hazard creates a low probability of a serious injury. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 2-6 The Bucyrus Erie line shovel had no boom stop. The boom is only rarely raised to a height where it might cause the boom to go over. One employee per day is exposed to this hazard. This hazard creates a low probability of a moderate injury. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 2-7 A Skookum tail block had no line guard. Without a line guard, the tail block could flip over and damage the line, thus causing heavy wear on the line. Five workers are exposed to this hazard daily. The lack of a line guard creates a medium probability of a moderate injury. FINDINGS OF FACT: ITEM 2-8 There was no nonskid material on the inclined access to the drums on the left side of the Madill 071 yarder. Because of the nature of their work, employees wear caulk soled boots. Approximately one employee per week is exposed to the hazard of slipping. This hazard creates a medium probability of a moderate injury. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND OPINION MOTIONS TO DISMISS Defendant's first motion to dismiss was made in writing on January 3, 1992. Plaintiff responded in writing on January 10, 1992. Referee Mongrain, by letter of January 13, 1992 denied defendant's motion. At the opening of hearing, I agreed with Referee Mongrain's ruling and indicated that I would discuss the motion in my Opinion and Order. The essence of defendant's motion is that plaintiff and the Hearings Division violated administrative rules, thus occasioning a significant delay in the hearing. Defendant apparently contends that the citation should be dismissed. OAR 438-85-305 requires plaintiff to immediately refer a contested citation to the Hearings Division if the case has not been settled within 45 days of the appeal of the citation. Defendant appealed the citation on July 25, 1990. Plaintiff did not refer the case to the Hearings Division until October 5, 1990, more than 45 days after the appeal. The Hearings Division did not acknowledge receipt of the case until July 25, 1991. I am unable to determine what happened to the referral in the interim. OAR 438-85-306 requires the Hearings Division to schedule a hearing to be held within 90 days of the referral from OR OSHA. The Hearings Division sent out a notice of hearing on November 18, 1991. The hearing was scheduled and actually conducted on January 30, 1992. The hearing was more than 90 days after the referral, actually over a year after the referral. The hearing was also more than 90 days after the Hearings Division's receipt of the referral There is no doubt that the hearing was significantly delayed by both plaintiff's and the Hearings Division's failure to follow the administrative rules. It was further delayed by the mysterious gap between the time the referral was made and the time the Hearings Division received it. Defendant's argument why this delay merits dismissal is: "Neither the Oregon Safe Employment Act as set forth in ORS Chapter 654 nor the ends of justice will be served by allowing this matter to proceed. In substance, the only possible result in this prosecution under the statutes and rules is that if the state prevails, the employer will become the whipping boy for a Director and agency that has no prescribed penalties for failure." Defendant cites no authority which would merit dismissal of the citation for undue delay. The only authority I can find which arguably supports dismissal is Article I Section 10 of the Oregon Constitution. The Oregon courts have held that, unlike the U.S. Constitutional right to a speedy trial, Article I Section 10 guarantees that justice shall be administered without delay in both civil and criminal proceedings. State v. Ivory, 278 Or 499, 504 (1977). Presumably, that right extends also to administrative proceedings. I have been unable to find any reported Oregon cases which discuss under what circumstances a delay in an administrative (or civil) proceeding is sufficient to require that the case against the defendant be dismissed. However, in criminal cases, the Oregon appellate courts balance four factors to determine when a criminal defendant's right to a speedy trial has been denied: "(1) the length of the delay, (2) whether defendant asserted his right to a speedy trial, (3) the reasons for the delay, and (4) prejudice to the defendant." State v. Ivory, supra at Applying the standard adopted by the Oregon courts for finding a denial of the speedy trial right in criminal cases (which is presumably stricter than would be applied to civil and administrative cases) to this case, I conclude that defendant has not been denied its right to a speedy trial. This hearing was delayed for well over one year. Furthermore, there is no good explanation for this delay. Part of the delay was apparently occasioned by the unexplained loss of the referral; however, both OR OSHA and the Hearings Division also violated administrative rules in making the referral and in setting the case after the referral was made. On the other side of the balance, however, is the fact that there is nothing in this record to indicate that the defendant in any way attempted to push this matter to hearing. It apparently filed the appeal of the citation and then did nothing. According to the stipulated testimony of Nellie Baker and the SCO's testimony, it was the SCO's vigilance which eventually prompted the case to be brought to hearing. Furthermore, defendant has made no showing of prejudice. Balancing these two factors against the length of the delay and the lack of explanation for the delay, I conclude that defendant has failed to establish that its rights to prompt justice under the Oregon Constitution were abridged. The prehearing motion to dismiss is denied. At the close of hearing, defendant again moved to dismiss. Defendant had two bases for this motion. The first basis is that plaintiff violated OAR 437-01-057 in conducting the inspection. The second basis is that plaintiff allegedly applied improperly promulgated rules to defendant in this case. OAR 437-01-057 provides a system by which OR OSHA is to schedule safety inspections. In particular, OAR 437-01-057(1)(d)(A)(ii) provides that hazardous places of employment which have nonfixed locations are to be inspected when OR OSHA "determines the location of a worksite." The rule does not actually use the word "hazardous." Instead, it refers to "the place of employment is within an industry group which has a lost workday cases incidence rate above the national average for all employers..." In this case, the evidence does not specifically establish whether the lost workday cases incidence rate for logging is higher than the national average of all employers. However, the SCO testified that this is a hazardous industry. I infer from that testimony that the lost workday cases incidence rate for the logging industry is higher than the national average for all employers. The SCO testified that he inspected this site after he located it using information from the US Forest Service. Because this is a hazardous employment, I conclude that the SCO properly conducted this inspection under the administrative rule cited above. The second basis for this motion to dismiss was stated by defendant's attorney at hearing: "[The State's primary witness, the compliance officer, testified over and over again in many different areas with minor injury, significant injury, various other terms that basically a policy an unwritten policy, no loss--oral policies have been established and are being applied within the context and the concept of what constitutes a rule under ORS 183.310(8)....The employer should not be allowed and I do not have the case law to set forth that comes out of Springfield v. Meqdall (phonetic) cases. But the State should not be allowed, nor the employer be subject to hidden and secret law, when, in fact OSHA has established a rule. They have an obligation and duty to go forth with that rule and properly promulgate it. In this case repeatedly they have not." Apparently, defendant is contending that plaintiff has improperly and silently promulgated rules defining imprecisely defined statutory terms. See, Springfield Education Association v. School Dist. 19, 290 Or 217 (1980). Of the two terms specifically mentioned by defendant, minor injury and significant injury, neither term is used (so far as I can determine) in Chapter 654. These two terms are used in OAR 43701140 which explains how the agency is to determine the severity rating when setting a penalty under ORS 654.086. Springfield and its progeny involve statutory terms, not terms in administrative regulations. Furthermore, ORS 654.285 creates a conclusive presumption of validity of administrative rules promulgated to enforce ORS Chapter 654. I am precluded from going behind the rules. Defendant's motion to dismiss is denied. Finally, defendant argues that I should set aside all penalties because plaintiff allegedly violated OAR 438-01-135(1) which states: "The probability of an accident which could result in an injury or illness from a violation shall be determined by the Compliance Officer and shall be expressed as a probability rating." Defendant bases this argument on the SCO's testimony that his notes and worksheet are submitted to a superior who reviews it and may change the probability or severity rating. I do not decide whether a change by the superior would violate this regulation because in this case the SCO's probability rating was used in every item of the citation. I conclude that this regulation was followed. ITEM 1-1 OAR 437-80-205(2)(a) states: "Wire rope shall be taken out of service when any one of the following conditions exist: "(a) Kinking, crystallization, bird caging, or any other damage resulting in weakening of the rope structure." The SCO credibly testified and the photographs admitted into evidence graphically illustrate that the wire rope in use on the Madill 071 Yarder showed obvious kinking, crushing, bird caging and broken crown wires. This wire should have been taken out of service well before this inspection. Defendant violated this regulation. I defer to the SCO's expertise in determining the severity and probability of this violation. His testimony on these facts was unrebutted. The penalty assessed is appropriate under the matrix contained in OAR 437-01-145 Table 1. ITEM 1-2 OAR 437-80-220(15) provides: "Operating a logging machine with defective steering, braking or other parts or components necessary for safe operation is prohibited." Again, the SCO's credible testimony and the photographs graphically demonstrate that the welds holding the gantry on the Bucyrus Erie line shovel were broken and incomplete. This rendered the shovel unsafe to operate. Defendant violated this regulation. I defer to the SCO's expertise in determining the severity and probability of this violation. His testimony on these facts was unrebutted. The penalty assessed is appropriate under the matrix contained in OAR 437-01-145 Table 1. ITEM 1-3 OAR 437-80-045(1) provides: "Personal protective equipment shall be maintained in a safe and effective condition or removed from service or use. The hard hats of three of the workers were obviously in very bad shape. The SCO credibly testified that when the ribs of hard hats are damaged, they lack structural integrity. The hard hats should have been removed from service. Defendant violated this regulation. I defer to the SCO's expertise in determining the severity and probability of this violation. His testimony on these facts was unrebutted. The penalty assessed is appropriate under the matrix contained in OAR 437-01-145 Table 1. ITEM 1-4 OAR 437-80-270(11) provides: "Seatbelts shall be provided on all vehicles with ROPS. . . " ROPS means roll over protection structure. The D7 cat, which had ROPS, had no seatbelts. Defendant violated his regulation. I defer to the SCO's expertise in determining the severity and probability of this violation. His testimony on these facts was unrebutted. The penalty assessed is appropriate under the matrix contained in OAR 437-01-145 Table 1. ITEM 1-5 OAR 437-56-030(3) provides: "Defective or broken glass in a vehicle which impairs the vision of the operator shall be replaced." The windshield in the Chevrolet fuel truck was cracked. The SCO sat in the operator's seat. He credibly testified that the cracks obstructed vision from the operator's seat. Defendant violated this regulation. I defer to the SCO's expertise in determining the severity and probability of this violation. His testimony on these facts was unrebutted. The penalty assessed is appropriate under the matrix contained in OAR 437-01-145 Table 1. ITEM 2-6 OAR 437-80-220(4) provides: "Boom type logging machines shall be provided with a boom stop to prevent over topping the boom." The Bucyrus Erie line shovel had no boom stop on its boom. Defendant violated this regulation. ITEM 2-7 OAR 437-80-195(1)(b) provides: "Load bearing blocks shall: "(b) Be fitted with line guards...." The Skookum tail block is a load bearing block. It lacked a tail guard. Defendant violated this regulation. ITEM 2-8 OAR 437-80-045(6) provides: "Where logging machine operators or helpers, because of the nature of their work duties, are required to wear caulk soled footwear, the decks and operating foot controls shall be covered with a suitable nonslip material." The metal area around the mainline and haul back drums did not have suitable nonslip material. The SCO who was wearing caulk soled boots slipped on it. Because of the nature of their work, the operator and helper wore caulk soled boots. Defendant violated this regulation. ORDER Defendant's motions to dismiss are denied. Defendant's motion to set aside all penalties is denied. The Citation is upheld in its entirety. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: You are entitled to judicial review of this Order. Proceedings for review are to be instituted by filing a petition in the Court of Appeals, Supreme Court Building, Salem, Oregon 97310, within 60 days following the date this Order is entered and served as shown hereon.

Niwa, the world's first automatic grow chamber run from your smart phone, is currently being funded via Kickstarter. After checking out them out online it turns out that the Niwa unit is quite a lovely centerpiece for your house as well. It's a really well-designed, self-contained growth chamber that is controlled by a computer, which can be interfaced with via a phone app. Compared to other self-contained growing chambers this one is gorgeous to look at.
Let's look at the specifics of the Niwa and how those stats would measure up when trying to grow marijuana.
The chamber is an enclosed unit with clear plexiglass walls, works with an ebb and flood system and has room for six plants. The system has been used with Rockwell, but would accept any suitable growing medium. Niwa works with an under pressure and has a fan sucking air out of the top of the unit while fresh air is pulled in via small windows at the bottom. As for lighting, it has an E27 light socket that can use a 100 watt or 250 watt CFL bulb, the company is also currently exploring options with LED lighting.
Cannabis can be grown in small spaces, and for years many growers have been getting decent yields out of their covert closet grows. Let's take a look at how this unit could function as cannabis growth chamber.
The unit was designed with medicinal plants, tomatoes, herbs and veggies in mind. I think that the unit would make an amazing veg chamber, especially for those living in a medical or recreational state were legalities would allow for six cannabis plants growing in your living room for all to see. However, when it comes to flowering there are some issues.
To start with cannabis relies on a 12/12 light cycle meaning that the plant needs to be in 12 hours of darkness to flower. You could always cover the plexiglass panels on the unit with MDF board or some other air tight substitute. Just make sure that absolutely no light could get in or it will interrupt the cycle. Perhaps in the future they will release a special cannabis version with automatic shutters or some type of smart tinting product that turns black when you push a button ensuring that the the space is light proof.
Cannabis really needs a lot of light to grow. In fact growth is directly related to light wattage thus the more light the more yield. With a 250 watt CFL bulb you won't be getting much of a yield, so this is why the space would make a great veg room where plants don't need that much light to grow. Another thing to keep in mind is that the unit comes with a bulb balanced to 6500k, which is great for veg. Plants in flower will need a light closer to 2700k for optimal results.
The next thing to bear in mind is smell and airflow. If you increase the light wattage you will also need to increase the fan size pulling out the hot air in order to compensate for the extra heat. One final thing that will need to be added to the unit if you do flower out cannabis inside it is a filter. Flowering cannabis gives off an amazingly pungent odor which for stealthy growers will need to be addressed.
All in all this is an amazingly designed unit that for some cannabis growers will make an interesting show piece for the living rooms.
Keep on growing!

Binary Encoded Rings
Rings with personalized messages encoded in binary.
Binary code is a way of representing numbers using a pair of symbols (like 1 and 0 or ON and OFF) in a string. The placement of the symbol in the string determines its value, just like the decimal place of the digits in our normal counting numbers determines their values.
In binary notation:
1 is one
10 is two
11 is three
100 is four
101 is five
110 is six
111 is seven
1000 is eight
and so on.
With 5 digits you can count from 0 to 31, enough to represent all 26
letters of the alphabet with 1=A, 2=B and so on:
00001 is one and also "A"
00010 is two and also "B"
00011 is three and also "C"
11000 is twenty-four and also "X"
11001 is twenty-five and also "Y"
11010 is twenty-six and also "Z"
On the binary rings, there are 5 parallel tracks running around the ring, each track representing a digit. The track is engraved for 1 and left blank for 0.

4x NCAA Champion, Kyle Dake, teaches you how to pin your opponent at a crucial moment in the match. If you are having trouble scoring points or you need a lot of points, use this series of moves to create a pin.
The goal of this series is to get the opponent into an uncomfortable position where they fight to get out of it and flip onto their back where you can then move to pin them.
Check out an additional clip from the Championship Productions' DVD "Signature Move Series: Kyle Dake's Claw Series." If you're interested in more Wrestling videos on Pinning, click here.
Kerry McCoy, Head Coach at the University of Maryland and 2X Olympian in Freestyle shows you how to perform tilts in the top position. Learn the proper techniques of the tilt with the thigh pry and tight waist breakdown.
Once the opponent is flat, use the waist hand to secure the cross wrist and keep the elbow hand on the elbow. Next, block the near knee with your front knee and drive over the near arm/shoulder to "load up" the opponent in your lap. Then scoot your body so that your chest is perpendicular to his chest elevate the bottom leg and use the controlled arm to keep him/her in nearfall. Push if he rolls into you and pull if he rolls away.
Take a look at an additional clip from the DVD, Heavyweight Technique: Breakdowns, Pins and Escapes. Also, view other Kerry McCoy videos from our massive Wrestling DVD collection!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the millions impacted by the devastating typhoon in the Philippines and their families in the United States.
Catholic Charities knows the strong bonds between immigrants in the United States and their families and friends in their native country and so our support is also for them. Lack of information about their family members is very upsetting. The Catholic Church is always among the first to respond to help because our organizations like Catholic Relief Services (CRS) are already on the ground helping communities.

I plan to install Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS alongside Windows 7 in Asus A43E Series and I had an unsuccessful experience about the installation.
Here is the chronology:
I installed Ubuntu via USB Stick. While the 3 options appear, I select the 1st which is "install inside Windows 7", but the process suddenly stopped. The next instruction was to remove the installation media and press the "enter" button which I did, but Windows 7 appeared not Ubuntu.
Then I try another media, the DVD instead of the USB Stick and I had the same result.
Please help.

Perl and NSAPI

But now, this inserts a perl dependency - to run the scripting plugin, one would need to have perl installed and configured such that:
- dynamic loading is turned on
- threading is enabled
- libperl.so is present in the perl install
Each of the above can be specified while building perl from source.
Besides, the "start" script of the Proxy/Web server should be modified to pick up libperl.so. In my case, i had the following changes:
... ... #set LD_LIBRARY_PATH PERLPATH=/workspace/user/tools/perl/install/lib/5.8.8/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/CORE/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/lwp:${SERVER_LIBPATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${MPS_LIB_DIRS}:${PERLPATH}; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ... ...
Also, as you can see, my perl version is 5.8.8.
In a way this is a bit sad - all those commands i spent so much time to add, all those is rendered unnecessary now, because everything and much much more exists in perl.
The way it works right now, perl code have no "direct" access to nsapi data or internals. But we can construct any type, or amount, of functionality by writing perl subroutines, and then pass nsapi data to them, through, and back.

In the summer of 2006, White Sands and Hidalgo County in New Mexico saw more rain than in any year since 1941.
Photographer, Teresa Neptune has captured the magnificent yet disturbing reality of a flooded desert, brilliant New Mexico skies reflected on the desert floor - water where it should not be. Fine art color photographs from the exhibit that The New York Times called "the best" in its Frugal Traveler feature.
Award-winning, self taught photographer, Teresa Neptune first picked up the camera as a teenager living in Paris. She took to the street with her father's Pentax loaded with Tri-X film and began her lifelong love of black-and-white, street photography. Her photographs have been reviewed in B&W Magazine, CameraArts and the New York Times wrote up her "Flooded Desert" exhibition as the best in Santa Fe last year (2007). She exhibits her photographs in Santa Fe and Chicago. Her work is in the permanent collections of The National Museum for Women in the Arts, Washington DC, The State of NM - Art in Public Places, The Historic Santa Fe Foundation and US Equities, among others. Neptune says, "My work is basically street photography even when the street becomes a trail or disappears altogether. My joy is to capture fleeting relationships that exist for one moment and are gone forever". She is the recipient of the Willard Van Dyke Grant in Photography awarded to her in 2005.

Children's is able to help provide the most up-to-date care for our patients and develop new programs like PACT due to the generous support of our donors. To support PACT, contact Katie Miller at 404-785-7346.
At Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, we call our palliative care providers our Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT). Through pediatric palliative care, physicians, nurse practitioners and social workers partner in caring for children who have a serious illness.
Palliative care providers:
Our PACT begins work when a provider diagnoses a child. Because every child and family is different, we treat each child as an individual, tailoring our services to meet the specific needs of each child and family.
We continue to work with the child, family and care team throughout the patient's illness and treatment.
Our team collaborates with other healthcare professionals at Children's, including medical teams, child life and chaplaincy to provide holistic, interdisciplinary care.
Since its inception, PACT has participated in the care of more than 400 patients and families a volume that is consistent with or greater than the leading pediatric palliative care programs in the country. Click here to learn more.
Access our palliative care resources for more information.
When providers saw signs that James, a patient at Children's, was nearing the end of his life, a state trooper stepped in. He quickly transported the patient's father to our hospital, and stayed by the father's side in his son's final day.

As the Affordable Care Act open enrollment comes to a close, more people now support President Obama's health care reform than those who oppose it.
Though by a slim margin, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, 49 percent of Americans now support "Obamacare," compared to 48 percent who oppose the law. President Obama has made a strong push over the last few months to encourage those who need insurance, to do so through the open enrollment period than ran through March 31. When the same poll was taken in November of 2013, only 40 percent of Americans supported the law, while 57 percent opposed it.
Not surprisingly, the view of the law is strictly based on partisan lines. Support from Democrats have increased 11 points since January, jumping from 65 percent approval to 76 percent. Republicans, on the other hand, continued to hold steady with their staunch opposition. Seventy-eight percent of Republicans continue to oppose the Affordable Care Act.
Two key voting blocks have also been tilting in the direction of Democrats and the Affordable Care Act. The WaPo/ABC poll notes that 57 percent of Hispanics support the law in addition to 52 percent of those between the ages of 18 and 29.
The new poll comes as the administration released that 6 million Americans have enrolled in health care plans via "Obamacare" and the exchange. Questions still remain on how many have actually purchased the plans they have selected and how many didn't receive federal subsidies to do so.

It's been quite a snowy start to December in Central Indiana. At just under 9″, Indianapolis is already over the monthly snowfall average of 6.9″. There's more on the way with two clipper systems moving through the next 30 hours. Even if you're not a fan of snow there's no arguing its beauty.
Winter Wonderland is the best way to describe these pictures from Linda Seifert (above) and Derrick Synder near the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette.
Keep your cameras handy with more snow accumulation expected for some this evening, and again tomorrow.
Snow will spread by 6pm from the northwest and race across the northern half of Indiana. Clipper system #2 will be long gone by 7am Tuesday.
Areas north of I-70/74 have the best "chance" of seeing an inch or more… but a decent dusting to just under an inch is fair game for the Indy metro area.
The third in our series of clipper systems arrives late morning Tuesday, and snow is likely along/north of I-70 by midday.
By 5pm snow will quickly shut down, but not before another "potential" 1″ around Central Indiana.
We're still on track for a brief warm up later this week, as temperatures slowly climb into the upper 40s/lower 50s for a few hours Thursday night into Friday morning.
Long range models continue to advertise a heavy precipitation event in the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley Sunday. It's too early for any high level of confidence. But as of now all modes of precipitation are on the table for the viewing area. Rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow could all possibly be heavy. Stay tuned for updates as we track a potential snafu for holiday traveling. Thanks for reading the blog – Sean Ash

Hamamelis 'Angelly' is covered with small clusters of pale yellow, long-petalled blooms during the early part of the year. The leaves also colour well in autumn for added interest. Plants look good when grouped with shrubs that have provide flowers or scent during the summer when the plain green leaves offer little of interest. Although slow growing hamamelis will eventually reach the size of small tree so choose your planting site with care.

Meditation on My Father
The bark of a favored tree reveals
its resemblance to my father's face
brown and weathered. The tree says
I have sustained the cosmos of
these woods.
What I know of sun and air--
of wanderlust braving
night skies lit of lunar blush, deluge--

Orion death stars have recently been found by astronomers and the incredible discovery is sending shock waves throughout the scientific community. The Orion death stars were spotted by astronomers from the United States and Canada while using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, known as ALMA. According to a March 10 report from Astronomy.com, astronomers were studying the volatile relationship between O-type stars and protostars in the Orion Nebula at the time of the remarkable discovery.
Although it has been known since the 1960s that there is a vast stellar population in the Orion Nebula, observations have revealed that certain stars are more massive than previously thought, and that their distribution is not uniform.
When asked for more details pertaining to the discovery of the Orion death stars, Rita Mann, an astronomer with the National Research Council of Canada in Victoria, said:
"O-type stars, which are really monsters compared to our Sun, emit tremendous amounts of ultraviolet radiation and this can play havoc during the development of young planetary systems," Mann explained.
"Using ALMA, we looked at dozens of embryonic stars with planet-forming potential and, for the first time, found clear indications where protoplanetary disks simply vanished under the intense glow of a neighboring massive star."
The massive Orion death stars destroy protostars before they even have a chance to form into planets. This is accomplished by blowing away the gas and dust surrounding the celestial bodies. Luckily for us humans, the death stars pose no risk to Earth.
"Taken together, our investigations with ALMA suggest that extreme UV regions are not just inhospitable, but they're downright hazardous for planet formation. With enough distance, however, it's possible to find a much more congenial environment," said Mann. "This work is really the tip of the iceberg of what will come out of ALMA; we hope to eventually learn how common solar systems like our own are."
Crab Nebula noble gas: Astronomers accidentally make an incredible discovery
The Orion Nebula is one of the great wonders of the night sky. Its discovery dates back to 400 years ago, when it was first described as "fog" in logbooks from the French astronomer Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc (1610). Inside the Orion Nebula lies a wide range of young stellar objects. Some of these stars are dozens of times heavier than the Sun.
Of all the massive stellar nurseries that exist in the galaxy, the Orion Nebula is the closest to Earth. This is special because it provides researchers with the best opportunity for a better understanding of the death stars as well as how nature diffuses gas clouds in fiery suns, failed stars or even planets.

MEDINA — One of the men accused of unintentionally hitting two Montville Township homes while target shooting an assault rifle in January had his trial in Medina County Common Pleas Court postponed.
Mark Bornino, 53, of 5544 Windfall Road, Montville Township, was scheduled for a June 19 trial on a charge of firing a gun over a public road, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
His trial was continued to Aug. 12.
R. Daniel Volpone, 45, of Parma, is scheduled for a June 24 trial on the same charge.
The two men are free on bond. Common Pleas Judge Christopher J. Collier set a weapons ban to both men as a condition of bond.
Monvtille Township police arrested Bornino and Volpone on Jan. 16 after officers found them firing an AK-47 assault rifle at targets in Bornino's backyard without a backstop.
Police said the bullets traveled a third of a mile to Parnham Drive, which lies on the other side of a forested area from Bornino's home, and struck two houses there.
Residents called 911 to report the shootings.
No one was injured, but one resident said a bullet pierced her house and lodged in a microwave moments after her family members left the kitchen.
Police seized the rifle, two high-capacity magazines and three handguns — a 9mm, a 380-caliber and a 22-caliber. They also seized 628 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition for the rifle and about 100 pistol cartridges.
State law and federal law differ on whether the men will be allowed to own guns if they are convicted.
Bornino's and Volpone's trials originally were set for May 22 and June 10, respectively.

Oblivion ..will it run ok?
I have an aging pc...amd 2800+Cpu(2.0Ghz 2800 equiv.)..not the 3.0 ghz recommended and a nvidia 6800XT..also 1.25gb of ram and winXP..I don't mind turning some stuff down but constantly fiddling with settings from scene to scene would drive me bonkers..Any advice on getting it appreciated
|21st May 2008, 10:33 AM

Mate, the only way to really tell is to try. Got a mate with a copy? I used to run it on my old 6800GT with an AMD 3500. It was pretty slow, but I was always trying to get the most out of it at the time. First thing to do is kill the grass! Set it's draw distance to zero, and it will instantly run a lot better. There are many different things you can tweak to ease the load, but you really will be pushing hard to get it running well enough to play.
However, with low resolution set, and all bells and whistles off, it'll run I'm pretty sure.
But, although I never played it, I believe Morrowind is (by some peoples reckoning) a better game than Oblivion, and a lot lighter on your system. Cheaper too
Either way, great games. Best of luck.

Get Less Sleep, Crave More Doughnuts
New studies say sleep-deprived people can't make healthy food choices.
Some new studies say sleep-deprived people want unhealthy food more than people who get a full night of rest. "When you're sleep-deprived, you might not make appropriate food choices," says a researcher from UC Berkeley. The reason is that long ago, people "slept less during summer months, when they had to eat more to fatten up for the winter." But now, says another researcher, "We're fattening up year round." We'd better watch out: If Bloomberg sees this he'll probably ban late nights, too. [MSNBC/Today]

my name is wick, and i'm a designeur. while i love to design & create things that look good, what really gets me excited is the entrepreneurial side of designing and creating living, breathing and growing things – like businesses, movements, events and ideas.
my day job is pretty cool, swimming in thousands of brightly coloured business cards. saltprint prints, designs and gets really excited about these little rectangular pieces of card. we also work with a talented bunch of aussie freelance designers to produce some of the freshest designs for printable things. designing for brands and corporations is an art in itself, and is completely collaborative in it's nature of working with a client to a brief. i really love contributing design to a new brand, and seeing my ideas breathe life into a business.
now in our tenth year, saltprint's lives at salt house in new farm, which is a creative co-working space which we share with other creative companies and freelancers. This is the best "work" place i've ever "worked" in because it's like a big creative share-house! we have designers, marketers, fashion and web creatives all working side by side, individually and sometimes together. i think it's important for creative professionals to grab hold of any physical contact they can find in today's virtual environment. i've worked virtually online for months at a time without real human contact, and i'm always surprised at how fast things get done when you meet in person. salt house is almost near capacity now with studios and desks, however we keep a little spare space for a rentable photo studio, and space for creative events.
by night i like to plan killer parties, disguised as networking events for creatives. this project is called sprinkl, and it's becoming one of brisbane's favourite events for grass-root creatives. we're planning our seventh event now for april 2012 which simply involves mixing grass-root creatives of all flavours and making real face to face connections. one of the favourite attractions of sprinkl is the live design-off that we stage between two local designers, sometimes on two large projector screens, or with paint & canvas. there is something fascinating about watching a designer over their shoulder, and it becomes very interesting watching two designers at the same time with their own interpretations of the same brief. the designers we have featured so far have received some great publicity and opportunities out of the exposure at sprinkl.
what i really love about working with designers with saltprint, co-working alongside freelancers at salt house, and mixing with grass-root creatives at sprinkl, is seeing young creatives taking their art to market and making a living out of it! there is something wholesome about making a living with the work of your own hands, and i applaud all creatives who are brave enough to back themselves in selling their creative work. the whole process of selling or making a living out of art gives the art the chance to be enjoyed by other people, rather than growing dusty in your folio or even worse in your mind.
i started on my own designing logos & annual reports like most graphic designers do. offering printing services to my clients seemed like a logical choice for me, and while printing errors and late deliveries scare off most designers from printing, saltprint grew very quickly into a national company with a surge of design and printing clients from a diverse range of clients all over australia. it's now very satisfying being able to employ young designers myself. i particularly enjoy finding design talent amongst a pile of portfolios when other agencies can't see past their lack of experience or qualifications.
when i'm looking for a designer amongst a stack of resumes and folios, there a couple of reactions i often have:
*laugh out loud* – as i read aloud the floury and over-jargonated cover letter to my esteemed colleagues for the advertised position.
*yawn* – as i flick through 12 pages of the one folio piece, presented at different angles and stages of design development.
*go emo* – as i fall into depression over the very dark, mysterious and serious folio void of all life & colour.
*take a second look* – noticing a sneeky pair of arty breasts.
*drop folio and visit online folio* – enjoying a short & sweet folio, leaving me hungry for more.
*sit & stare* – finding brilliant art in a simple design.
*omg* – did they just use word-art in their resume?
while i am a fan of providing leg-up opportunities for young designers, and the whole collaborative-crowd-sourcing paradigm, there is something i find wrong with some of the mass spec-work and free pitching being encouraged from some of today's design-contest websites. i won't name names, but i dont think it's right that 99 designers work, and 1 gets paid. i use my own refined model of the crowd-sourced design-contest which involves more curating, and fair payment for all involved. i hope to one day spread my ideas about healthy & profitable creative-collaboration around the world.
thanks for reading, i hope we can meetup at the next sprinkl!

Want money back on a junk car GA
Posted 16 January 2013 - 05:16 PM
I bought a used car from a car broker in GA in September 2012. I paid in full with cash.($6000,This is foolish). Fortunately this car can not pass the Emission test which is required in our county, so I could not register the car under my name. I have asked the broker either to fix the car in order to pass the Emission or money back, but the broker keep giving me loaner junk car to drive.
Last week the broker offered me another car push me to register it, but I found this one is from auto auction and it has serious transmission's problem, and it certainly can not pass the Emission, but this car has passed Emission in April 2012. Again I asked the broker either to fix the car in order to pass the Emission or money back, but the broker promised (orally) to fix it and give me another loaner car to drive.
Now five months have passed my neighbour always see me drive different junk cars with temporary tag on car tail.
Is the broker violate the law? What should I do? sue the broker in small claims court? or criminal court?
Thank you in advance!

You haven't said anything to indicate there's any criminal conduct involved here. As for what you should do, that depends on the terms of your contract. We cannot know from here if you bought as is; if so, the seller has a defense if you sue it in small claims. (Lucky for you, the GA small claims limit is quite a lot higher than most, so suing for a partial refund would be well within its limits. Even if your contract wasn't as-is, note that owning and driving it for so long means you wouldn't be in a position to expect all your money back. I'm a bit confused how it is that you keep driving on temporary tags, unless you're saying that the seller keeps issuing you new ones.)
I'll echo PG's advisory "warning" with a twist: (Many) legal issues are complicated. Explanations and comments here might not fully identify or explain the ramifications of your particular problem. I do not give legal advice as such (and such is impermissible here at any rate). Comments are based on personal knowledge and experience and legal info gleaned over a quarter century, and every state has differing laws on and avenues to address most topics. If you need legal advice, you need to consult (and pay) a professional so that you may have someone to hold accountable. Acting on personal and informational advice from a stranger on the internet is a bad idea -- at least not without your own thorough due dilience/research and confirmation as it applies to your situation.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 04:35 PM
Last week he gave me was the forth car. Now I am driving is the fifth one. All the cars he gave me have serious problem (transmission or engin) which certainly can not pass Emission. Some of them the check engin light on dash board was blocked on purpose.
The broker must have known the Emission law of GA, as he told me that he was doing car business in GA for 12 years. Why did he keep giving me cars without Emission? Is he violate the law at this point? If yes I can push him to finish our business.
As I told the broker last year, if only you gave the car which can pass the Emission, just as Georgia Clean air Force encourage car buyer to do, our business is over. I am tired.
Thank you again to read my post.

70-year-old Paul Brian Brooks and his 69-year-old wife, Margaret, were killed in their vacation home in Lampe, Miss. Autopsy reports showed that the couple died because of stabbing and blunt force trauma to the head.
The AP says the teens ran away from Lives Under Construction Boys Ranch two days before the Brooks' bodies were found.
In a statement released in February, the family said the killing was "a senseless act of violence carried out upon a defenseless, loving couple. Their lives were tragically cut short a few months before their 50th wedding anniversary."

Laptop Batteries- Alternative Way to Use the Laptop Without Having Power
by Ben+Sam
Laptop Batteries- Alternative Way to Use the Laptop Without Having Power
Computers are the essential part of every industry as well as personal uses. Lots of files and data can be saved in a computer easily. Previously, computers were very big machines but the development of technologies has changed everything and computers have already changed in small machines, now known as Laptop. The laptop is the most wonderful creation of science. It is also known as notebook computer. It is a small mobile computer. Laptops usually run on a single main battery or from an external AC/DC adapter that charges the battery while it also supplies power to the computer itself. Laptops are famous for power consuming capacity. This happens because these batteries must be small and light weight so that they can be use easily flitted in the laptop. Laptop batteries are to be considered a vital organ of the laptop.
At present there are three kinds of laptop batteries in the market. These are Nickel Cadmium batteries, Nickel Metal Hydride batteries and Lithium Ion batteries. All of these are rechargeable. In the midst of these batteries, Lithium Ion (LiON) is the one used in the latest laptop models. Although the most expensive, it is the most efficient and reliable too. A nickel metal hydride battery will have a shorter lifespan compared to a lithium ion battery. Laptop batteries are exclusively designed for every laptop model. The life of such batteries depends on the type of battery. In other words, the laptop has revolutionized the conventional office theory into what is known today as the essential for office. The battery is what gives your laptop the convenience of being moveable. These batteries can be recharged over and over again. The use of laptop batteries can be optimized by handling them carefully with caution.
These batteries should be accustomed on a usual basis. And that should be at least once a month. The presentation of a battery is determined by its weight, sequence era and rate of discharge. Finding the laptop batteries is not a big work, for this search over the internet and there are numerous websites that are not only providing laptop components but they also providing detail information about laptops. Select any one and fill up inquiry form and you will get details easily. Purchase any component online related to laptop is the right option because online sellers provide attractive offers and reasonable prices. There are few things that can increase the life of battery such as leaving a laptop in car that is parked in the sun will result in battery damage. You are supposed to use the laptop in a cool room because it will increase the lifespan of the battery.

In an effort to eliminate the dissemination of western ideals into their country, Iran plans on having all of their citizens use a state-censored and completely internal internet within two years according to the country's telecommunications chief. As it turns out, roughly 60% of the nation's homes and businesses are expected to be on the localized internet much sooner than that.
Iran sees this segregation from the rest of the world as a means to uphold Islamic values and block out any anti-government or independent thoughts from the country entirely. Whether or not the country's efforts will succeed remains to be seen.
Iran has recently seen a rapid growth anti-regime posts on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. The country is planning on implementing the new internet alongside the existing one for a period of time but will eventually make a full transition.
To add insult to injury, the 11% of citizens who have internet access will also be forced a non-Microsoft OS along with an alternative to Google simply called "Oh, Justice."
It's news like this that should make us appreciate the small privileges we take for granted in the good old US of A.

US must repent, pray
Published: Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 11:34 a.m.
Editor: Eleven years ago we lost nearly 3,000 people during 9/11. Our Congress (whose lives were no doubt saved by the courageous people on the plane that went down in Pennsylvania) stood on the Capitol steps and sang "God Bless America." Were they Democrats, Republicans or independent? No they were American. Can we be that again?
Our choices lead to either a strong or a weak foundation as individuals and as a nation. In 1962, we removed prayer from our schools. In 1973, we legalized abortion (now more than 55 million deaths or about one out of three women before age 45 will have an abortion in America), perhaps some of the very scientists, medical staff, researchers, etc. that could change the world.
Our chaplains pray and encourage tirelessly, sit with the traumatized and dying yet are being asked to keep God out of ministry to the military. These same military personnel help protect Israel lest Iran accomplish their goal of destroying Israel and America.
As of September, six states have endorsed same-sex marriage in America. While I love everyone whether they have had an abortion, are in same-sex relationships, having an affair, etc. I will say for America to continue to be blessed we must repent and pray. Many of you have joined with other Christians across America in fasting and prayer for God to protect us, to lead us in his truth and to bless America.

Key did say back in 2005 and 2008 that whole thing was a hoax. Is he now a comedian?
The climate change negotiations at Cancun, Mexico will be difficult and expectations are "very low", Prime Minister John Key said today.
The two-week talks, which began last week, are the latest attempt to formalise a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, due to expire next year.
Last year's negotiations ended with the signing of the Copenhagen Accord by most participating countries, including NZ.
The non-legally binding accord aims to agree a limit on global temperature rises to 2°C, which would require deep cuts to global emissions.
Environment Minister Nick Smith, in Cancun, said today that NZ will be seeking a "balanced package of decisions" that build on the Copenhagen Accord.
He affirmed NZ's commitment to working towards a "comprehensive, legally-binding global agreement that will limit emissions and the environmental damage from anthropogenic climate change."
But Mr Key said today that significant progress is unlikely to occur at Cancun.
"They might make progress on funding for developing nations when it comes to adaptation and mitigation but I'll be surprised if there's a lot more out of Cancun than that."
Cancun: the key players
Several informal negotiating blocs have emerged at Cancun, including the EU countries, an 'umbrella' group of developed countries including NZ, Australia, US, Canada, Norway and Japan, and a 'group of 77' developing nations.
The latter group wants bigger cuts in emissions by developed countries, a second Kyoto commitment period and more financial support for developing countries to reduce their emissions.
Both the US and Japan oppose a second Kyoto commitment period.
Mr Key brushed off concerns that aligning with the US and Japan might damage NZ's relationship with China and developing countries as key trading partners.
"The real issue is whether collectively we can agree a way forward, it's not really a question with who we align with. I don't see that as a major issue."
Trade Minister Tim Groser will play a leading role at Cancun as the chair of the committee on mitigation and measurement, reporting and verification.
Former climate change ambassador Adrian Macey, as vice-chair of the Kyoto Protocol negotiating stream, will help negotiate forestry-related rules and emissions markets among countries that have signed the Kyoto Protocol.
Looking to Durban
Other New Zealanders at Cancun include Labour MP Charles Chauvel and Business NZ energy, environment and infrastructure manager John Carnegie.
Mr Chauvel wrote in a blog post today that the US may "walk away from the UN climate mechanism" if no progress is made towards its desired position - that all countries agree to adopt binding emissions reduction targets but no extension to Kyoto beyond next year if no new deal is reached.
"New Zealand is seen here as strongly sympathetic to the US position, as are the other members of the Umbrella Group."
Mr Carnegie wrote in an update last week that "serious questions" are being asked about whether an overall consensus agreement to replace Kyoto is possible.
"Perhaps a series of bilateral and regional agreements is more achievable in the medium term," he wrote.
"Yesterday the Umbrella Group, including New Zealand, pledged 'to achieve the best outcome we can' in search of a balanced and flexible outcome."
"In light of the increasingly unrealistic expectations of the developing countries, such a goal is perhaps as realistic as one could expect."
Next year's round of negotiations is scheduled to occur in Durban, South Africa.

Man is that ETS pup that red Helen and compromised Winston shoved thru ever turning out to to be the biggest ever White Elephant millstone around the neck of NZ economic progress.
We have legions of bureacrats, scientists and engineers figuring out solutions to non-existent problems. And a money-making coalmine just blew up without explanation. Get real people, ETS ain't progress.
An excellent book on the climate debate is "Heaven and Earth" by Professor Ian Plimer, a highly recognised Australian scientist.
The whole global warming argument is pretty much in tatters by the end of chapter one, backed up by detailed references.
Plimer is quite adamant this is a political argument, not a scientific one. There is no global warming at present, the earth has been much warmer than it is now on multiple occasions, and human progress has occurred during these warmer periods. Tiny changes in the energy output of the sun is the primary driver of climate change.

Yacht test: Grand Soleil 39
By Toby Heppell // 5th July 2012
Andi Robertson joins a growing list of admirers for this voluminous but easily handled performance cruiser.
New to the market last year, the Grand Soleil 39 is already proving a considerable success.
The concept is immediate and it works so much beyond simple aesthetics. The feeling of space and simplicity is enhanced in every area, from the clean, easily functioning cockpit to the nice cabin top and foredeck…
A full carbon rig package is available for those who want to race to a high level. One of the French owned boats is set up thus to compete on the Med Circuit. But the standard package is a twin-spreader Sparcraft aluminium mast and boom. Typical IRC rating will be around 1.058.

East Coast residents are digging out again after receiving lots of snow this week.
According to the Gospel Herald, the east side of the country continues to experience winter at full force due in part of the harsh weather conditions. A mixture of snow, rainfall and wind have all summoned to the eastern side affecting northern states such as New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. As of January 22, the weather in the east side has remained in the low double digits that inevitably plunge to single digit temperatures all in the span of a day. New York, NY experiences sunny, cold days of 18 degrees, but suffers with a very low 6 degrees by the afternoon. Likewise, neighbor states also have very low temperatures, with New Jersey being "frigid with snow blowing" down to as little 3 degrees read the entire Gospel Herald article
Before shoveling snow read safe shoveling tips. Shoveling snow can cause injuries and death.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), snow removal is more than just another necessary household chore. All that bending and heavy lifting can put you at serious risk for injury. Snow removal can be especially dangerous if you do not exercise regularly.
According to the 2009 US Consumer Product Safety Commission:
•Approximately 16,500 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries that happened while shoveling or removing ice and snow manually
•More than 6,000 people were injured using snow blowers
The most common injuries associated with snow removal include sprains and strains, particularly in the back and shoulders, as well as lacerations and finger amputations read the entire AAOS article
