Updated: October 28, 2013Closure dates: November 4, 2013 to November 8, 2013
Due to equipment delays, the dates of this closure have changed. The 4200 block of Tottenham Road between Buckhurst Drive and Kingswood Road will now close Monday, November 4 at 7 a.m. and will reopen Friday, November 8 at 5 p.m. This closure is necessary for storm water work. Motorists should detour using Carmel Road and Kingswood Road. The road will be closed to all through traffic for the period above.
Local access to residences will be maintained.
CATS will not be affected.
Weather and unforeseen circumstances occasionally prevent work from being completed as scheduled, and make it unsafe to reopen lanes or streets when planned. When this occurs, City traffic engineers work directly with other City staff and contractors to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and reduce impacts to the traveling public.
Pedestrians walking near work zone areas should be alert, cautious and allow extra traveling time. It is advised they cross at signalized intersections, use pedestrian walk signals where available and abide by detour signage.
Motorists traveling through work zone areas should be alert and extra cautious. Drivers should get in the correct lane well in advance and constantly be on the lookout for vehicles merging into adjacent travel lanes as they approach a work zone. Drivers should double their following distance.

The lump may be surgically removed, the decision depending on the features of the lump and the patient's preferences. Removal is performed under either a local or general anesthetic. After removal, lumps believed to be fibroadenomas are examined by a pathologist to rule out the small chance of breast cancer. Alternative treatments include removing the lump with a needle and destroying the lump without removing it (such as by freezing, in a process called cryoablation).

New ADA Guidelines Govern Showers
In 2004, the U.S. Access Board released new guidelines required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that affect buildings with shower units and shower stalls.
Before the change, the ADA stipulated that a shower spray unit with a hose at least 60 inches long could be installed as a fixed showerhead or hand-held shower. Under the updated requirement, the shower spray unit must be equipped with a hose at least 59 inches long, and it can be used as both a fixed-position showerhead and hand-held shower. If an adjustable-height showerhead on a vertical bar is specified, it cannot obstruct grab bars.
The shower spray must have an on/off control with a non-positive shut-off, and the shower water temperature cannot exceed 120 degrees F. To meet that standard, select thermostatic mixing valves (TMVs) or pressure-balancing valves.
Bradley Corp
Selecting shower fixtures for public facilities used to be fairly simple: A shower was a shower. In recent years, however, the choices have multiplied. Specifying showers today begins with understanding the user and the type of facility. That, in turn, dictates considerations such as privacy, energy savings, ease of maintenance, resistance to vandalism, and compliance with codes and regulations.
Consider the following when selecting showers for locker rooms in schools, health clubs, or recreation centers, as well as in private showers in hospitality facilities:
SchoolsBudget constraints and privacy concerns have dictated major changes in school locker rooms. Gone are the days of huge group shower areas. Some schools have eliminated showers altogether to free up space, but many new schools install showers to serve varsity athletes and to meet local building codes.
To conserve water, several schools install showers with metering valves. Electronic metering valves are the most reliable and have a circuit board sealed within a pod to keep out moisture. These valves can be set with a longer running time to both encourage thorough showering and to eliminate flow interruption after 15 seconds. To provide a safe showering environment, a thermostatic mixing valve should be installed to control water temperature and prevent scalding.
For budget-strapped schools, hinged pivoting wall showers can be quickly installed and have components that are easily accessible for maintenance or repair. Another option is column shower units with partitions that create space-saving clusters of shower stations. Similar to toilet partitions, these low-profile "modesty modules" are built around prefabricated shower fixtures. In addition to offering privacy, they also resist vandalism.
For private high schools and universities, individual showers with private changing areas are common. Security remains a concern; however, to ensure that students stay out of trouble, most schools compromise some privacy for some monitoring capability.
Health Clubs & Recreational FacilitiesPrivacy is also a concern here, where members prefer not to shower and change clothes in open areas. Similar to schools, modesty modules are replacing large group showers. The stainless-steel partitions grouped around the showerheads typically include a stall for showering and another area for dressing, separated by a curtain.
When memberships are important to maintain business, it's vital that these showers offer a clean and appealing finish to invite visitors to use the facilities. Pressure-balancing or thermostatic shower valves should be provided to allow the user to safely select the water temperature.
Lodging & Hospitality SitesHigh-end hotels are installing luxurious spa showers to give guests the comforts of home - or better. At the end of a hard day of sightseeing or business meetings, users want the ability to take unlimited hot showers at any hour.
In an effort to keep their brand top-of-mind, hotels prefer an escutcheon customized with the company's logo. To meet the needs of the hospitality industry, plumbing manufacturers offer coordinating showerheads, tub spouts, and hand-held showerheads with slide bars and wall hooks for complete washroom solutions.
New shower fixtures with the latest pressure-balancing valves that incorporate long-lasting European ceramic cartridge technology can help reduce maintenance. These long-lasting cartridges have no wearing parts that will need to be replaced, and the valves allow for back-to-back wall installation, saving on costs.

Nissan's GT Academy, which lets players of the popular Gran Turismo video game franchise compete to become genuine professional racing drivers, is headed onto American airwaves this month. The Speed network will soon air a five-part reality show about it the process. Think of it as America's Next Top Model…with turbochargers.
The show is the last of a three-part competition that brought 54,000 people to the digital racetracks of GT5 in an attempt to reach racing glory: a professional racing contract with Nissan. The original 54,000 users competed online, racing certain Nissan vehicles on a number of virtual raceways. From there, 32 were chosen to fly to Orlando, Florida, in March, where they competed head-to-head. The top 16 were then chosen to join the reality show contestant pool.
The TV competition was shot at the Silverstone Racing Complex in Silverstone, England, over the course of a week, where the 16 finalists competed in a number of physical and mental challenges, including numerous races and a boot camp-style workout. Predictably, the reality show's judges are well-known race car drivers: Danny Sullivan, winner of the 1985 Indy 500; Tommy Kendall, the only American to finish Australia's Bathurst 1000 race; and Liz Halliday, the most successful woman to race in the American Le Mans Series.
The winner of the U.S. GT Academy will be crowned at the end of a five-part mini-series that will air on Speed starting September 20 at 10 PM, although (spoiler alert) you may already know who won. That person will join the three winners of Nissan's European GT Academy and form a four-person professional racing team, which will campaign at the 24 Hours of Dubai in January of next year.
Those will be tough shoes to fill: European GT Academy winner Lucas Ordonez helped take his race team to a podium finish in the LMP2 class at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.

With 'Django Unchained' on the way we pick Quentin Tarantino's 'Greatest Hits'
The moment the guitar on Dick Dale's "Misirlou" struck on the soundtrack of "Pulp Fiction" and those giant titles slowly, methodically crawl up the screen, we knew we were in the hands of a master. And indeed, Quentin Tarantino had already established a unique ear for the songscape of his work two years prior in "Reservoir Dogs."
How about the fact that no one will ever use The Meters' "Cissy Strut" better than he did in "Jackie Brown?" Or how effectively the march of Ennio Morricone's "Rabbia E Tarantella" closes out "Inglourious Basterds?" What about Elle Driver's eerie whistling of Bernard Herrmann's "Twisted Nerve" theme in "Kill Bill" Vol. 2?"
The director's latest, "Django Unchained," takes a whole other step forward, adding four original songs to the usual mix of source music. Elayna Boynton and Anthony Hamilton's "Freedom" gets us going early on while the Morricone-penned "Ancora Qui" slows us down later.
And yet, none of these made our list of the director's "Greatest Hits" to date, showing just how expansive his work infusing music to image has been.
Two years ago the Broadcast Film Critics Association inaugurated its Music + Film Award by handing it over to Tarantino (even before Martin Scorsese, who received it the very next year). And it was a great choice, as the gallery below reflects. Separating the man from the tunes is virtually impossible, as hearing any number of the tracks he's used in his films inevitably conjures memories of those scenes.
Katie Hasty and I (check her out over at HitFix's Immaculate Noise blog) put our heads together and came up with 16 tracks that stuck out to us for inclusion on a compilation album, if, you know, we were toiling away on such a thing. But as noted above, so many wonderful songs are inevitably going to be left off when you cook up a list like this, so click through ours below and feel free to offer up your thoughts and/or your own picks in the comments section below.
"Django Unchained" opens everywhere December 25.

PORTSMOUTH — The state Department of Transportation is seeking public input on how to proceed with the project to replace Memorial Bridge after the lowest bid came in $15 million higher than budgeted.
The DOT will hold a public informational meeting on Nov. 6, at City Hall in the Eileen Dondero Foley Council Chambers, at 7 p.m. The purpose of this meeting is to receive input from public officials and the public to consider a prudent course of action.
Two bids were received earlier this month for the rehabilitation project on the bridge, which carries Route 1 over the Piscataqua River between Portsmouth and Kittery, Maine. Budgeted at $44 million, the bids of $59.5 million from Cianbro Corp. of Pittsfield, Maine, and $70.1 million from American Bridge Co. of Richmond, Va., were substantially higher.
The DOT has been evaluating alternatives and coordinating with the Maine DOT and the contractors on how to proceed. The options include accepting the lowest bid or delaying the project, which was listed as the top priority of all DOT state projects.
"At this point we're not sure where we go," said project manager Bob Landry after the bids were revealed. If the bid is accepted, the bridge would be closed to all traffic from April 2009 to October 2010.
One of the issues is that there are certain historical covenants placed on the 86-year-old bridge by the state and federal government. Gov. John Lynch said he would support removing the covenants if it meant the project could move forward.
The states of New Hampshire and Maine jointly own this bridge.
Also part of the project are the replacement of the Scott Avenue Bridge over Daniel Street in Portsmouth, and the rehabilitation of a separate approach bridge on the Maine side.

Turkish F-16 fighter jets forced a Syrian airline passenger plane to land in Ankara over suspicions it was carrying "non-civilian" cargo. The Damascus-bound plane, which had departed from Moscow, has departed after a nine-hour inspection.
Ankara has granted the Syrian plane a departure clearance, after Turkish security confiscated its suspicious cargo, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told a local broadcaster.
"Just because of the clear evidence that we received, we negotiated with our prime minister and decided to let the plane fly on to Syria with the passengers, but we are going to hold on to the material because of the ongoing investigation and the next steps," he said. "Our investigation is continuing. Since there might be materials that were supposed to be declared but have not been, we are holding this material in our hands to continue to inspect."
Earlier, Davutoglu said that Ankara had received intelligence that the Syrian plane was carrying "certain equipment in breach of civil aviation rules," but refused to comment on the presumed content.
The Turkish authorities were interested in some spare parts, which a businessman bought in Russia and was transporting to Syria, passenger Fatima Al-Saman told RT. She said they were clearly not weapons.
"They started unloading some packages. They opened them, took pictures. There were many people. We all saw what was in there. There were no weapons. You could see it with an unaided eye!" she said.
Al-Saman added the search involved only luggage, and the passengers were mainly ignored by the Turks. Russian diplomats arrived at the airport but were reportedly not allowed to meet with the passengers.
Earlier, Turkish media speculated that the plane had been diverted on suspicions that it was transporting heavy weaponry. Later reports suggested that Turkey seized military communications equipment and missile components. However, so far there has been no official confirmation of the contents of the cargo.
The plane was forced to land in Ankara's international airport at 5:15 pm local time (3:15 pm GMT). The Airbus A-320 was carrying around 30 passengers.
The Airbus, which belongs to Syrian Air, was intercepted on its way from Moscow by F16 jets and forced to land at the capital's Esenboga Airport as it entered Turkish airspace.
Turkey is determined to stop any transfer of weapons to Syrian administration through its airspace, Davutoglu said Wednesday. The FM added that Turkey has every right under the international law to investigate any civilian plane suspected to be carrying military materials.
Meanwhile, Ankara has banned Turkish passenger flights from entering Syrian airspace.
"All civilian flights in Syrian airspace have been stopped since it is no longer safe," the ministry added in their Wednesday statement. A Turkish plane that had already taken off for Saudi Arabia made a detour and landed at the Adana airport, reports Today's Zaman newspaper.17 Russians, including kids, onboard – Russia's Foreign Ministry said diplomats are already heading to the airport and sent an information request to the Turkish Foreign Ministry. "The preliminary information is that out of 35 passengers, there may be 17 Russians on board, children among them," Maria Zakharova, the chief of the Foreign Ministry's Information Department, exclusively told RT.
Tensions between Turkey and Syria have escalated since a Syrian shell killed five civilians in the border town of Akcakale last week. Western powers have repeatedly accused various countries of smuggling weapons into Syria and breaching an arms embargo imposed on Damascus by the EU.
On Wednesday, Iraq publicly denied allegations of providing its territory for use in the transport of arms from Iran to Syria. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Baghdad is performing random checks of aircraft from Iran to Syria and nothing has been found so far.
In March, the US and the UK lashed out at Iran, saying the country was supplying weapons to forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Damascus and Tehran immediately denied the allegations.
Russia has also been a suspect in the case. In June, a Russian cargo ship transporting three MI-25 helicopters, sailing from the Baltic port of Kaliningrad to Syria, was stopped off the coast of Scotland and forced to turn back after the vessel's insurer revoked its coverage.
Western media were quick to speculate about arms supplies from Russia to Syria, but Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov explained that the helicopters had been repaired by Russia for Syria under a 2008 agreement.
The Syrian rebels, on the other hand, are known to use financial backing from supporters including Saudi Arabia and Qatar to buy weapons on the black market. The rebels' supporters are also suspected of supplying weapons to them directly. This week, a BBC report showed footage of a crate with a label marking it as products manufactured by a Ukrainian firm and shipped to the Saudi military.
The US said it supports Syrian rebel forces with materiel including communication equipment, but stopped short of delivering arms due to the fear that they would end up in the hands of forces linked to al-Qaeda.
Turkey itself hosts a number of refugee camps for Syrians. Some media reports say the camps are used by the rebels for recruiting, receiving medical help and getting rest before going back into Syria to fight government forces.
There are also reports that Turkish officers lend their tactical skills to Syria's armed opposition. The rebels have too few trained officers among their ranks, and lack a proper military structure to fight on par with a regular army. Turkish generals are allegedly trying to close the gap, providing their clients with intelligence, communications and combat plans.
Turkey, once an ally of Syria, is now a vocal critic of the Assad government, while Damascus in not pulling any punches in condemning Turkish involvement in the Syrian conflict. In June the confrontation resulted in the deaths of two Turkish pilots. Their reconnaissance jet strayed into Syrian airspace and was shot down by air defense forces. The incident provoked a major scandal, with Turkey threatening to invoke its NATO membership and request that the alliance defend it.
Turkish artilleries have been busy recently shelling Syrian territory in response to daily mortar shots fired from across the border. Damascus offered its regrets after the second such incident, which killed four Turkish civilians. However, some Turkish opposition media reports blamed the mortar shots on the rebel forces, which ironically received the weapons from Turkey. Some observers say the continuing crossfire may be a rebel attempt to provoke a shooting war between Turkey and Syria.

As much as I detest the long and winding drive up to Big Bear Lake, Calif., I knew I would eventually return to the mountain resort town sometime this year.
I'd been hearing too many stories about Gennady Golovkin, the undefeated WBA middleweight beltholder coached by Abel Sanchez at the veteran trainer's gym in Big Bear, to stay away.
When Sanchez told me last month that rising Mexican star Saul Alvarez would not only arrive to train at The Summit, his high altitude training center, in May but also spar with Golovkin, I knew my time to return had come.
By sitting in on a sparring session between the two, I'd find out whether there's any truth to the outlandish gym rumors I'd heard about Golovkin, a 28-year-old native of Kazakhstan who goes by the nickname "Superman," and I'd see how talented and tough the 20-year-old 154-pound beltholder really is.
I realize that sparring is not the same thing as an actual fight. However, given what I'd heard and read about Golovkin (20-0, 17 knockouts), a 2003 world amateur champ and 2004 Olympic silver medalist who defeated the likes of Lucian Bute (by KO), Andre Dirrell and Andy Lee in the amateurs, I figured he could tell me more about Alvarez (36-0-1, 26 KOs) than the kid's fights with faded old Carlos Baldomir and naturally smaller recent opponents such as Jose Cotto, Lovemore Ndou and Matthew Hatton.
I was able to stave off my usual altitude sickness during the drive up to the remote San Bernardino mountain town with thoughts of all the hype I've heard on Golovkin in recent months. It began with a text message from Sam Garcia late last June.
"Perro is getting lit up in sparring by this Russian dude!" read the text message from Garcia, an assistant trainer for junior lightweight prospect Eloy Perez, who frequently trains in Big Bear.
"Perro," of course, is Alfredo Angulo, the rugged junior middleweight contender who was preparing for his HBO-televised fight against Joachim Alcine last July when he locked horns with Golovkin at Sanchez's gym. Garcia later gave me a more-detailed account of the sparring session. Lightweight contender Urbano Antillon, who is trained by Sanchez, supported Garcia's story.
A few months later I got a phone call from the producer of a Spanish-language sports show, who swore that he witnessed Golovkin "embarrass" Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the Wild Card gym during an open workout held for the Latino media a few weeks before the unbeaten middleweight pulled out of scheduled Dec. 4 card.
A Wild Card regular who spotted me at the Alvarez-Hatton fight in Anaheim, Calif., this past March whispered that he saw Golovkin give undefeated super middleweight prospect Peter Quillin all he could handle at Roach's famous boxing club.
The producer and the gym rat didn't want to go on record for fear of being banned from Wild Card, which is understandable (I guess), but Garcia, who watched Golovkin and Angulo spar in Big Bear, has no problem sharing his observations with his fellow boxing fans.
"Alfredo Angulo is a very strong, very competitive, prideful guy who has a great team behind him, but Golovkin is on another level," said Garcia, who says he watched three sparring sessions between the two over the course of one week. "His strength, his demeanor, his skill, everything he did in there was just too much for Angulo, which surprised the hell out of me.
"I've seen Angulo spar many times before and he's always the one doing the hurting. He's so damn tough I've never seen him take a step back, let alone get hurt. I was expecting him to test this Golovkin guy that I'd never seen before, but 'Superman' was in there taking and giving, and he hurt Angulo a couple times, especially to the body. Angulo had to get on his bike against Golovkin, which was just bizarre to see."
I didn't know what to expect to see when I finally arrived to The Summit (along with RingTV.com videographer Daniel Morales and photographer Scott Kilbride), but I was ready to see it.

H.R. 3590 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (health care reform)
On December 9, 2009, Senator Harkin was one of ten Democratic Senators to reach what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called a "broad agreement"[1]on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The discussion focused on abandoning or greatly narrowing the public health insurance option. In exchange, people 55-64 would be able to buy in to Medicare and Medicaid eligibility would be expanded to people within 150 percent of the federal poverty line. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's office released a statement on the compromise:
"I asked Senators Schumer and Pryor to work with some of the most moderate and most progressive members of our diverse caucus, and tonight they have come to a consensus. It is a consensus that includes a public option and will help ensure the American people win in two ways: one, insurance companies will face more competition, and two, the American people will have more choices. I know not all 10 Senators in the room agree on every single detail of this, nor will all 60 members of my caucus. But I know we all appreciate the hard work that these progressives and moderates have done to move this historic debate forward. I want to thank Senators Schumer, Pryor, Brown, Carper, Feingold, Harkin, Landrieu, Lincoln, Nelson and Rockefeller for working together for the greater good and never losing sight of our shared goal: making it possible for every American to afford to live a healthy life. As is long-standing practice, we do not disclose details of any proposal before the Congressional Budget Office has a chance to evaluate it. We will wait for that to happen, but in the meantime, tonight we are confident." [2]
Record and controversies
Iraq War
Harkin voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq in Oct. 2002.
Environmental record
For more information on environmental legislation, see the Energy and Environment Policy Portal
Military Record
While running for his Senate seat, and again while running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992, Harkin made statements about his military record that implied he had flown combat missions over North Vietnam. After inquiries by Barry Goldwater and The Wall Street Journal, Harkin clarified that he had flown combat air patrols and reconnaissance missions over Cuba, and had flown aircraft into and out of Vietnam, but had never flown missions in Vietnam and had never engaged enemy aircraft in combat.[3]
Support for Alternative Medicine
According to Robert Johnson:
- "Arguably the most powerful symbol of the recent coming of age of alternative medicine in the United States was the establishment of the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) within the National Institutes of Health. The two legislators with the greatest responsibility for the growth of this office, and for the overall nurturing of alternative medicine with the vast medical-government complex, have been Senators Tom Harkin and Orrin Hatch." [1]
For more on this subject, see James Harvey Young, "The Development of the Office of Alternative Medicine in the National Institutes of Health, 1991-1996," Bulletin of the History of Medicine, 1998. (Royden Brown, Berkley Bedell and Frank Wiewel)
Support for stem cell research
Harkin sponsored the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007 which would have lifted restrictions on stem cell research. It passed the Senate in a vote of 63-34. It was later vetoed by President George W. Bush.[2]

National security and foreign policy
In late June, 2007, Sen. Harkin and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) began working on an amendment to the FY2008 Defense Department authorization bill that would close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay.
- Main article: FY 2008 Defense Department authorization
Harkin was born November 19, 1939 in Cumming, Iowa. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1962 and received his J.D. degree from Catholic University of America Law School in 1972. He served in the United States Navy from 1962-1967. Harkin was stationed at Atsugi Naval Air Station in Japan, where he ferried damaged aircraft to and from the airbase, and at Guantanamo Bay, where he flew missions in support of U-2 planes reconnoitering Cuba.
Harkin was an aide to Democratic Congressman Neal Smith, when he accompanied a congressional delegation that went to South Vietnam in 1970. Harkin published photographs he took during the trip and a detailed account of "tiger cages" at Con Son Island prison in Life Magazine on July 17, 1970. The account exposed shocking, inhuman conditions prisoners were forced to endure.
Harkin was an attorney before being elected to the U. S. House of Representatives in 1974, where he served until 1985. In 1984, Harkin was elected to the United States Senate from Iowa and was reelected in 1990, 1996 and 2002.
Congressional Career
While a member of the House, Harkin opposed President Gerald Ford's decision to support Indonesia's invasion of East Timor in 1975. [4]
Harkin is known as an advocate for people with disabilities. In 1990, he wrote and was the chief sponsor of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Senator Harkin is a staunch supporter of Israel. He is a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations, which appropriates about $2 billion annually for military financing for Israel. In the Senate, he is the third-largest career recipient of pro-Israel Political Action Committee (PAC) contributions.[5]]
Harkin also supports efforts to raise the minimum wage. In 2006, Harkin, along with Senators Hillary Clinton, Edward M. Kennedy, Jim Jeffords, Patrick Leahy, and Barack Obama authored the Standing with Minimum Wage Earners Act of 2006. This bill would change the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1983 by keeping the wage increase for Congressional members at the same pace as the increase of the federal minimum wage. [6][7]
He ran for President in 1992 and won the Iowa caucus, but ultimately lost the Democratic Party nomination to Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas.

With the festive season fast approaching, talk inevitably turns towards end of year celebrations such as Christmas parties. Social workplace Christmas functions can have a number of favourable benefits for both businesses and employees like developing better working relationships and boosting workplace morale.
These events should be enjoyed by all involved, but it is important that employers take the appropriate steps to prevent the possibility of such a positive event from being spoiled. Being aware of, and prepared for, any potential risks or consequences can help reduce the likelihood of negative outcomes occurring such as sexual harassment, bullying or discrimination as well as health and safety breaches.
Employers should be aware they can be held liable for certain inappropriate behaviour at workplace functions, even if such behaviour is associated with good cheer and intentions. To prevent any issues that may arise, which are often the result of the consumption of alcohol, it is essential that employees clearly understand what is expected of them at these functions and that employers understand their obligations and monitor the event.
To minimise employer liabilities, it is recommended that the following considerations be made prior to the function:
- a start and finish time is established;
- employees are made aware that the usual standard of behaviour is expected as it is a work-related function;
- communicate that company policies continue to apply at the event; and
- encourage carpooling and designated drivers if employees intend to consume alcohol.
At the actual event, employers should make the following considerations:
- ensure that no employee feels obliged to drink;
- ensure it is a safe environment;
- always provide food if alcohol is being served;
- monitor individual behaviour and consumption of alcohol; and
- ensure there is safe transport for employees who have consumed too much alcohol.
Having policies and procedures such as drugs and alcohol in the workplace, bullying and harassment, discrimination and sexual harassment that are effectively communicated to all employees can further help employers manage risks and reduce the chance of the function ending on a sour note.
For further advice about your obligations and responsibilities regarding workplace functions, Business SA has a team of dedicated and experienced Business Advisers that can assist you. The service is free for members and provides unlimited access to verbal advice. Call the Telephone Advisory Service on 08 8300 0101.

Your car's stereo system is your best companion during traffic jams or long drives. So, jazz it up with better speakers and other peripherals to get the most bang for your buck.
Stereo system
A wide variety of music/DVD players is available from brands like Sony, JVC, Kenwood and Pioneer, with the prices starting from Rs 4,990. Most of these can power four basic speakers, ample for most hatchbacks and sedans. Pick a system that offers CD/DVD, FM, USB and aux-in connections. Bluetooth connectivity will be a bonus since you won't need a separate hands-free set. Most head units have a simple dot matrix LCD to display information, but you can also get touchscreens if you are willing to spend upwards of Rs 24,000. The latest units also have voice-assisted GPS and support for smartphone apps. To improve sound, you can upgrade your factory-fitted head unit, and if your car has steering wheel audio controls, you can buy an adapter to configure these to work with your new system.

Oh, what utter fools we've been. While everyone was expecting the robot invasion to come from the skies, wiping us out in sleets of laser beams (or maybe just nets) , in actual fact they're planning on taking us one piece at a time. A Japanese 3-year-old has lost the tip of a finger in the deadly transforming limbs of a TV tie-in toy robot; apparently he's one of several young people affected by the finger-feasting monster.
The robot in question is one of Bandai's Engine Sentai Go-onger toys, based on the TV show of the same name, and which have already proved highly popular in Japan. Over 170,000 of the robots - which retail at around $70 - were sold between September last year and this month.
Fourteen cases of children catching their fingers in the robots limbs - which can be twisted to transform it into an armoured vehicle, as shown in the video below - have been reported. Bandai have apparently received 85 complaints from parents regarding the toy.
