At Southern Oregon University, we're passionate about our work—and our play.
We care about each other and our natural resources. We teach sustainability and we live it too.
Our mountains and rivers are more than just an impressive backdrop. They serve as laboratories and classrooms for outdoor leadership, environmental studies, and science research. Our students don't just read about grazing rights, land management, water quality and wine production; they are out learning firsthand. The wild and scenic Rogue River, the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, Crater Lake National Park, Redwood National Park, and the Deer Creek Center offer learning laboratories within an hour or two of campus.
It all comes naturally at SOU—fuel for the intellect, inspiration for the spirit.
Unique Location—Outside magazine touts SOU, calls Ashland one of the Best College Towns in America.
"On sunny days, the Stevenson Union courtyard on SOU's green, 175-acre campus fills with students in frayed corduroys and the requisite rafting sandals. Hardly anyone graduates without paddling southern Oregon's whitewater, hiking the 2.3-mile White Rabbit Trail, or snowboarding or skiing at 7,530-foot Mount Ashland. Students interested in natural-resource management enroll in the environmental studies program for biology, geology, and environmental policy courses. Field-oriented classes like Geology of the Rogue River also get students outdoors."
Outside magazine also named Ashland one of the Top Ten Small Towns in America:
"Ashland, Oregon (pop. 23,000) is an anomaly: It's got the Northwest's first-rate recreation (you can bike or trail-run right from town in the surrounding Siskiyou Mountains, and the nearby kayaking is incredible) and culture (famous Shakespeare Festival) but not the rain (196 days of sunshine annually). And with its Napa-style vineyards, this border town is a bit Cali—in a good way."

Week of Nov. 15, 2007
A front-page feature detailed the story of Jim "Mad Dog" Sherbondy. In November 1937, 17-year-old Sherbondy shot and killed Eagle County Undersheriff Oscar Meyer during a traffic stop on Tennessee Pass and fled the scene. A massive manhunt followed before his arrest and Sherbondy was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison on Dec. 24, his 17th birthday. Sherbondy's name was in the headlines again in 1948 when he and 12 inmates escaped from the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canyon City. Sherbondy eventually surrendered to authorities after holding a farm family hostage, reportedly when one of the hostages - a 7-year-old boy - developed appendicitis. Sherbondy's death again brought him fame. After he walked away from a prison work program, he was shot and killed during a gun battle in front of the Denver Post building in Denver in 1969.

EAGLE COUNTY - A couple of local groups are trying to fine-tune the work-life balance in the area.
The Youth Foundation and the High Country Human Resource Association have created what they're calling the "Business Champions" partnership. The main goal, as stated in a press release, is "to help local businesses increase productivity, innovation and customer satisfaction and thereby grow their bottom line."
It's an ambitious goal, with an ambitious first step.
The local groups are working to determine how businesses can better accommodate workers with either small children or those who are caring for aging relatives.
Lisa Ponder, the president of the human resources group and also the human resources department director at Eagle County, said the idea behind the project came from The Youth Foundation's efforts to help families with kids ages 3 and younger.
As the foundation studied how to make sure youngsters are ready for school, one answer became clear, Ponder said: Good parents help nurture good kids.
This first project is a way to help parents do their jobs better. That means providing parents with more ways to help their kids, Ponder said. In an economy in which both parents usually hold full-time jobs, that means finding ways for adults to do those jobs and still provide time to take care of their kids.
An offshoot of that idea comes at the other end of the demographic scale.
"One in seven Americans is caring for an elderly parent," Ponder said.
Beyond those with kids or older adults at home, the fact is that most people come to Eagle County for the lifestyle. More flexibility at work pays dividends for those people, too.
But what does workplace flexibility look like?
Ponder said while many people think "flexibility" involves mainly working from home, the idea goes much deeper.
Working from home or other remote locations might work for people with desk jobs - "I do some of my most productive work at Starbucks," Ponder said - but bus drivers, line cooks and housekeepers don't have that option.
That's where other ideas are needed.
Ponder said Eagle County allows people to take longer lunch breaks and then either come in early or stay later in the day. For bus drivers, other drivers can fill in for co-workers who need a few hours off.
But filling in can be a challenge in a couple of ways, Ponder said. First, employees need to be willing to fill in for a co-worker. Employers, in turn, need to be willing to accept the cost of some overtime.
"It really takes everyone in the organization buying in," Ponder said.
At the Antlers Lodge in Vail, general manager Rob LeVine agreed that having management and employees on the same page regarding workplace flexibility is crucial.
LeVine said the Antlers doesn't have a lot of people who need flexibility in their schedules, but those who do are allowed to take time as they need it.
"Employees are happier, they feel respected," LeVine said. "That far outweighs the few hours of overtime I pay."
That's the kind of thing the human resources' group wants to learn from the current survey.
But what happens next?
Ponder said there's a meeting scheduled for April 30 at Colorado Mountain College. Those who attend will learn about the results, and about 100 human resources specialists have volunteered to do some one-one-one work with business owners and managers interested in learning more about ideas that allow businesses to provide less rigidly structured work environments.
"People want to be good at their jobs," Ponder said. "But they also want more control in their lives. We want them to be good at both."

FRENCH CAMP - Touting his stewardship over massive budget cuts and a renewed commitment to expanding the San Joaquin County Jail, Sheriff Steve Moore announced Friday that he will run for a third term in the June 2014 primary election.
Moore was first elected in 2006 and re-elected in 2010. During his first term, Moore obtained an $80 million grant to add beds to the San Joaquin County Jail, but the jail expansion project was put on hold due to the recession's impact on the local economy. Instead, Moore said he has concentrated his efforts on making $23 million in budget cuts while maintaining a majority of public services and full staffing in major divisions of the Sheriff's Office.
"In these tough budget times, I've worked to improve department efficiency without sacrificing public safety," Moore said in a statement on his website, moore4sheriff.com. "I've preserved full staffing in major divisions and put more deputies on our streets than we've had in the past 27 years."
Moore said the need for additional medium- and maximum-security beds at the jail is "paramount" to the county's efforts to fight crime. Moore's website said he "now more than ever is dedicated to increasing the local jail bed capacity," saying that increased capacity "will ultimately result in inmates serving their complete sentences, thereby lowering the county crime rate while providing much-needed relief to our local criminal justice partners."
Moore has more than 32 years of experience in law enforcement and has been with the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office since 1982. Moore will be opposed in the 2014 election by Sgt. Pat Withrow, who has been a member of the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office since 1987.

Chinese Willing to Pay More for Made-in-USA Goods
A new study finds Americans aren't the only ones willing to pay more for U.S.-made products. The Chinese are too.
In a survey conducted by the Boston Consulting Group, 47% of Chinese said they either "absolutely" or "somewhat" favored U.S.-made options when confronted with a choice between two items of equal price and quality — one domestic, the other Made in the USA. Over half said they'd chosen U.S.-made goods over less expensive Chinese products in the last month, with 61% saying they're willing to pay more for the U.S. made goods — in some cases quite a bit more.
Willingness to splurge on U.S. imports varied depending on the product. Some were obvious choices. For instance, many Chinese — mindful of scandals involving food contamination — were willing to pay more for U.S.-made baby food. But other choices were more surprising: The Chinese were also willing to pay big premiums for U.S. made running shoes and mobile phones.
The study showed Americans are even more gung ho about U.S. made goods than the Chinese. Nearly 80% of Americans said they either "absolutely" or "somewhat" favored domestic goods over those made in China and 70% said they have picked U.S.-made goods over Chinese in the last month. Of course, Americans are notorious for saying they prefer U.S. goods, then opting for the bargain at the mall regardless of its origins.
Harold Sirkin, a senior partner with BCG and one of the authors of the study, said they sought to avoid that problem by asking the survey questions in four different ways. "We used a more advanced survey technique to make sure we got an accurate picture," says Mr. Sirkin.
Mr. Sirkin says the main message in the report is that there's a "significant propensity of U.S. customers to pay a premium for U.S.-made goods." This carries implications for retailers and manufacturers, who have pushed in recent years to buy more goods from overseas — especially China — because of their lower prices.

OAKLAND -- The Warriors are in the playoffs. Only a sourpuss would diminish that achievement.
But the Warriors are not going to win the 2013 NBA championship. Only a fool would believe that pipe dream.
Thus, for the next few weeks, followers of the team must confront a double-edged sword of giddiness and clearheaded reality. They should be glad to know that Bob Myers, the team's general manager, is waking up at 3 a.m. thinking about 2015 and 2016 as much as about 2013.
Not every night. But many nights.
"I keep my notebook by my bed," Myers said the other day at his office, "so that I can write down my thoughts and then go back to sleep. Otherwise I couldn't."
As an example, Myers recently bolted out of a deep slumber when he suddenly thought of a contract ramification that he'd possibly overlooked, something that might affect the Warriors' salary cap or roster flexibility two years from now.
Warriors' fans should rejoice and toss confetti at that story. Over the past 25 years, during those rare stretches when the Warriors might threaten to sustain a winning team, the threat would always end quickly. The front office strategy was grab-bag improvisational theater. The hope was to catch lightning in a bottle. But when lightning was occasionally caught, as with the 2007 "We Believe" team, it was never sustained. The elements were too volatile, too fragile or too obnoxious. The patch-and-fill roster changes would result in a toxic mess.
It has become clear that such chaos will be avoided under the regime of owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber -- and especially under Myers, who on April 24 will celebrate his anniversary as G.M. The current Warriors team is clearly a positive step on the path to true and legitimate NBA title contention. But in a recent sit-down session, Myers was refreshingly open about the team's ultimate master plan.
That plan begins with some general principles, which scouts are told to emphasize in their evaluation.
"Defense and rebounding are important," he said, which means you can look for the Warriors to shun those fill-up-the-basket guys who won't do the necessary work at the other end of the court.
And yet, that's merely the foundation groundwork. The master plan's centerpiece is this: to be prepared when a franchise changer becomes available. Myers estimates there might be 15 of those in the league at any one time. You obtain them through free agency, or through your pick in the draft, or through trading for someone else's selection.
"There's going to be a moment in time when you have a chance to acquire that player," Myers said. "Is your roster and your franchise situation set up for that one moment in time? What we cannot have happen is that when the moment comes, we're not ready."
Myers is certainly right about That One Player -- LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, et al -- being able to create a seismic franchise shift. Basketball is subject to That One Player variance factor more than any other sport because roster sizes are smaller and That One Player can have an immense impact.
Some might say the Warriors already have That One Player in the person of Stephen Curry. Meyer certainly hopes so, but he recognizes that Curry has more development to do. Regardless, the ideal scenario is for Curry and a few other core Warriors to stick around and be ready. Next season, the Warriors' flexibility will still be limited because of salary cap issues. But in the summer of 2014, the franchise should be in position to make a run at That One Player -- perhaps in a free agent sweepstakes.
"We want to have a seat at that table," Myers said. "It's sort of like the party's been going on, and we're not getting an invitation to the table. We want to be in position to not just get that invitation but be able to make our presentation at the party."
The Warriors' sales pitch won't be a slam dunk. Myers must somehow make the Bay Area as sexy a destination as Los Angeles or New York or Miami. But if the Warriors can keep reaching the playoffs ... and if the new San Francisco arena plans proceed ... and if Curry continues to ascend ...
The Warriors' first postseason adventure in six years will begin soon. Which is good. However, Myers will still be making 3 a.m. notepad scribbles about 2015. Which is even better.

Guide to Filing a Complaint with The Ohio Department of Health
Our goal is an 11 a.m. discharge, and discharge planning is ongoing during your stay. Once your physician has given either a written or verbal order for your discharge, your nurse begins your discharge paperwork. A nurse will review physician instructions for your follow-up care, including prescriptions, physician office visits, wound care, etc. The nurse will also make arrangements for you to be seen by a dietitian or a Health Education Center staff member if your doctor has so ordered.
After you have received your instructions and signed your discharge form, the nurse will arrange for a member of the health care team to accompany you to the main lobby.
It would be in your best interest to make the following preparations prior to discharge:
Robinson Memorial Hospital wants to know about your experience with us. We strive to deliver the highest quality health care services in a professional and caring way. Following your stay at the hospital, you will receive a satisfaction survey. We ask that you please complete and return the survey to help us evaluate and improve our service.
Financial Counseling Assistance
It is very important for you to provide the hospital with correct, current insurance information when you are admitted. The financial counselors in the Admitting Department will verify your coverage and benefits. Please work with your primary care physician to make sure all referrals and per-authorizations have been completed to avoid any penalties or denials.
At times, a patient may be placed on Observation Status, which is considered an outpatient service even though the patient may be hospitalized overnight. If your admission status is considered Observation, please call your insurance company to determine your benefits.
The financial counselors can also advise patients without insurance how to apply for Medicaid and charity care. Please contact our financial counselors at ext. 72912 or 72340 for assistance.

• If the streets around town seem empty next week, the reason why is simple: Spring Break for Eagle County Schools students. The break will run from Saturday, April 13 through Sunday, April 21.
• The Eagle Valley High School Fire and Ice Gala is planned Friday, May 3. The gala was originally slated for March 9 but a postponement was required. The rescheduled event is slated from 6 to 11 p.m. at the Gypsum Creek Gold Clubhouse and will feature cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dancing and a silent auction.

In an effort to increase seat belt use and save lives on rural Colorado roadways, the Colorado State Patrol and 18 rural law enforcement agencies in 25 counties - including agencies in Eagle County - are mobilizing for a Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement period, through Sunday, April 7.
The enforcement is combined with a seat belt education campaign targeting male pickup truck drivers, as they have the lowest seat belt use in the state.
In 2012, 60 percent of unbuckled deaths in Colorado were men between the ages of 18-34 while 39 percent of unrestrained fatalities in Colorado occurred in pickup trucks. Drivers of pickup trucks have the lowest overall seat belt use at just 71 percent, compared to 81 percent of seat belt use amongst car drivers.
"Pickup trucks are twice as likely to roll over in a crash, despite the belief that they are safer vehicles," said Darrell Lingk, Director of the Office of Transportation Safety at the Colorado Department of Transportation. "Due to their lower than average seat belt use, we singled out pickup drivers in this year's seat belt education campaign, but we hope that all motorists take away our message: seat belts can save your life."
The seat belt education campaign includes print and radio public service announcements to increase awareness around the importance of seat belt use, especially in rural Colorado, amongst drivers who don't buckle up regardless of where they are going or how long they are on the road.
"Many drivers say that they simply forget to buckle up because they never developed the habit, so it is our hope that our stepped-up enforcement and education will encourage more drivers to practice buckling up," said Colonel Scott Hernandez, Chief of the Colorado State Patrol. "The Colorado State Patrol and all law enforcement in Colorado would rather write a citation than see one more preventable injury or fatality. Always buckle up, as it's your best defense when on a back road or highway."
The Gypsum Cleanup is Saturday, May 11, at the Gypsum Sports Complex on 3295 Cooley Mesa Road.
There will be free dumping for town residents from 8 a.m. to noon. The service is not available to businesses. Proof of residence will be required. Dumpers must bring a utility bill and photo ID.
Residents should be prepared to unload their own vehicles. The town encourages people to bring friends who will help them unload. Trips will be limited to one per address for a large truck and/or trailer.
Refrigerators will be accepted with proof of freon removal. Four tires per household will be accepted. Lawn debris must be bagged or contained.
Oil, paint, batteries, chemicals, flammable materials, vehicles and hazardous waste will not be accepted.
Volunteers are greatly appreciated. To offer help or get more information, call 524-1740 or visit www.townofgypsum.com/towncleaup.

Identify and Eliminate Energy Vampires
Wanna be a vampire slayer?
Try this calculator to find out what's sucking power in your home:
Energy vampires are devices that use electricity even when they are turned off. Together they can account for up to 20 percent of your electric bill.
You can improve your homes energy savings by identifying and unplugging your energy vampires. Here are some examples of energy vampires:
Wall Warts: Devices such as cell phone chargers have a large plug. They consume energy, even when the device to be charged is not attached.
Bricks: Cords used with laptop computers, televisions and some cable TV equipment are often joined in the middle by large black boxes. These bricks use energy continuously as long as they remain plugged in.
Other examples are:
- Cable/satellite boxes
- Digital TV converters
- DVR, VCR, DVD players
- Mobile/cellular devices
- MP3 players
- Video game consoles
- Standby coffee makers
- Devices that turn on instantly via remote control
- Devices with standby light or clock
Unplug Energy-Consuming Vampires
It sounds too simple to be true, but unplugging devices when not in use can save you money.
Eliminate Vampires to Make A Difference
By controlling your energy vampires, you can improve your energy savings.
- Use energy-saving features commonly built into personal computers.
- Plug wall warts and bricks into power strips, and turn them off when not needed. Using smart power strips makes it even easier. These power strips automatically cut off power when devices are not in use.

Commenter GiantBoyDetective has the drive, the limited resources, and the low-cost manpower to create the ultimate low-budget video game documentary. Now he just needs a subject. Let's brainstorm in today's Speak Up on Kotaku.
So since I love making movie and videos and I also love video games I think I may do a documentary next summer on something video game related. I don't know what though...
I'd love to do one of me going to E3...but you have to be invited. Maybe part of the doc could be me figuring out how to get there. But if I didn't make it the whole thing would be ruined.
Assuming Pokémon nationals are in Indianapolis next year I guess I could do that.
Any ideas? Take in to account that I don't have a lot of resources here. A camera, some friends, and a summer. That's about it.

Volvo has always been a main supplier to the Swedish Armed Forces when it comes to vehicles in different segments, from staff cars, station wagons and high mobility cross-country vehicles to medium- and heavy-duty trucks, in standard execution or in all-wheel-drive execution with very good mobility also in terrain.
Cross-country all wheel-drive
The TL31 is a typical example of a series-produced cross-country all-wheel-drive Volvo truck with extremely high reliability and very long service life.
In the early 1950´s, the Swedish Armed Forces needed a new generation of heavy-duty all-wheel drive vehicles for e.g. towing of guns. In response to this, Volvo developed the TL31. This truck has a unique design and appearance but was, in fact, closely related to the L39 Titan when it came to the technical specification.
Still in use - after 40 years
The TL31 was (and is) an all-wheel-drive truck with a 9,6 litre diesel engine, which is normally naturally aspirated with an output of 150 bhp, but sometimes (e.g. when it came to the fire-fighting version of this basic truck) a turbocharged engine version of 185 bhp was utilized.
The TL31 became widely accepted by both military officers and the military truck drivers. The popularity of this truck, in fact, has been so great that these trucks are still in use in the Swedish Armed Forces today, more than 40 years after the start of the production...!
Continuous modifications
The TL31 trucks have been, however, modified for a wider range of use than originally intended and some components have been modified or exchanged, not due to inferior function but due to lack of spares, having made a change to more readily available spare parts necessary.
The TL31 will be entering the 21st century in good shape, preparing for its 50-years-anniversary in active service.

I could also go for an MS CS instead. If I do, then I should take some theory courses next semester.
I asked Dr. Rodrigo for advice. She is our department chair, after all, and would know how best to go about this further studies thing. I was surprised when she frankly told me to consider distance education if my parents felt uncomfortable about sending me abroad right now. The Ateneo CS program isn't meant for people with solid CS backgrounds, and I'd get much more value out of other courses. She advised me to take research-oriented courses. If I decide to take MS courses here, I should go for research- or project-oriented completion of course requirements.
I'm not too keen on studying in La Salle or UP LB (teaching would be difficult with that kind of a commute!), so I guess distance education will have to do--at least until my application elsewhere pushes through.

Propane Council Ramps Up Engine Development Projects (pdf)
WASHINGTON (July 20, 2012) — The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), meeting last week in Napa, Calif., approved several research and development programs focused on building and testing engines that use domestically produced propane to meet the nation's energy needs.
One is an investigation of spark-ignition direct-injection engines with the Southwest Research Institute, Livernois Vehicle Engineering, and the Millbrook Proving Ground Limited, a General Motors subsidiary. The project will evaluate both Ford and GM direct injection engines for suitability with propane for potential on-road and off-road use.
Another project, with Certification Services International, is designed to develop a 6-liter heavy-duty engine for on-road use and for off-road applications in agriculture, power generation, natural gas drilling, paving, and railroad use. The propane-fueled engine would offer fuel cost savings and lower emissions compared with engines that use traditional fuels. "Developing engine technology is at the core of PERC's efforts to build the market for propane," PERC President and CEO Roy Willis said. "And because propane is clean-burning and price competitive with traditional fuels, it is an excellent source of power for promising engine projects." In other Council business last week, the Council authorized publication of a proposed 2013 budget of $36 million that will commit $20.3 million to programs, with 53 percent devoted to research and development, 29 percent to training, and 18 percent to safety programs. The 2013 assessment rate of four-tenths of a cent per gallon is expected to generate revenues of more than $33 million. The proposed budget will be posted for industry and public comment before August 1, as required by statute.
The Council approved the following funding requests:
Docket 17439 — PSI 2.0- and 2.4-Liter Propane Engine Development and Certification, $154,000Docket 17535 — Advanced-Efficiency High-Capacity Tower Dryer, $400,000Docket 17584 — Spark Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) Engine Technology Investigation, $592,500Docket 17585 — Diesel-Propane Dual-Fuel Evaluation Project, $450,000Docket 18024 — Large Spark-Ignited Engine Evaluation, $200,000Docket 18037 — CARB Certification Road Map 2012, $50,000Docket 18114 — CETP Update: Railcar and IM Tank (3.6 and 3.7), $244,918Docket 18131 — Marketer Technology and Sales Training, $356,500Docket 18135 — 2012-2013 Partnership with States Program, $2,700,000Docket 18142 — 2012 Industry Outreach (August-December), $160,000 Docket 18173 — Market Outreach and Communications Program for the Second Half of 2012, $3,986,000Docket 18179 — 6-Liter Heavy Duty Liquid Propane Engine, $700,000
Since the April Council meeting, PERC has approved 69 state rebate requests totaling $1,778,752, with nine programs included in requests for a total of $179,127 from the PERC Partnership with States.
Willis reported to the Council that he had used his presidential authority to approve Docket 18056 — Yanmar Gas Heat Pump Market Study, $35,000.
The Council adopted the following schedule for its public meetings in 2013:
• February 14 by conference call.• April 12 in Atlanta.• July 10 and 11 in New York City.• October 9 and 10 in Portland, Ore.• December 10 and 11 in Amelia Island, Fla.
The Council will next meet October 3 and 4, 2012, in Colorado Springs, Colo.

2.10-5 When Alternate Juror Empaneled after Deliberations have Begun
New, May 10, 2012
As you know, juror # ___ was excused from the jury. It was a decision of the court to excuse (him/her), and an alternate juror has been selected to take (his/her) place. Please do not speculate on the reason why that juror was excused.1
As of this moment, you are a new jury, and you must start your deliberations over again. The parties have the right to a verdict reached by (six / twelve) jurors who have had the full opportunity to deliberate from start to finish. The alternate juror has no knowledge of any earlier deliberations. Consequently, the new deliberating jury must start over at the very beginning of deliberations. Each member of the original deliberating jury must set aside and disregard whatever may have occurred and anything which may have been said in the jury room following my instructions to you. You must give no weight to any opinion expressed by juror # __ during deliberations before (he/she) was excused. Together, as a new jury, you must consider all evidence presented at trial as part of your full and complete deliberations until you reach your verdict.
1 If the reason for the juror's dismissal is neutral, it is usually best to explain it to the remaining jurors.
When a juror must be dismissed after
deliberations have begun, the court has two options:
Practice Book § 42-3 provides that the parties may stipulate, in writing and with the court's approval, to have the
verdict rendered by a number of jurors fewer than that prescribed by law. The defendant must be advised as to his or her right
to a trial by a full jury and personally waive that right in writing or in open court on the record.
Note that prior to October 1, 2000, General Statutes § 54-82h (c) required that alternates be dismissed when the case was given to
the jury. See State v. Murray, 254 Conn. 472, 493-94 (2000). It is now optional. The court should ensure that the alternate has
not been exposed to any prejudicial information since his or her dismissal. See
State v. Williams, supra, 231 Conn. 240.
An alternate juror may be made a member of the panel. General Statutes § 54-82h (c) requires that the jury be instructed to begin deliberations anew. Before this, however, the court must first assess the jury's realistic ability to do so, considering the length and nature of the deliberations at the time the juror was excused and the amount, if any, of re-instruction or testimony playback that has occurred. The court should canvass the jurors as to whether they will be able to recommence deliberations and disregard anything that had been said or any conclusions they might have drawn based on their discussions. See State v. Williams, 231 Conn. 235, 240-45 (1994). The above instruction should then be given to the reconstituted jury.
