Professional Development Conference and Exposition
Las Vegas, Nevada
June 8, 2004
- Good morning. Thank you, Skipper. I'm really delighted to join you for our professional development conference. As a safety and health professional, this is the conference to attend.
- A wise man once said, "Our growth depends not on how many experiences we devour, but how many we digest." I hope each of you will take the opportunity at this conference to network with other safety and health professionals, study with experts, digest what you have learned and then apply it. That way you can experience real growth -- both personally and professionally.
- And as we grow, employers and workers will benefit from our increased experience and expertise. And we will advance further the cause of safety and health on the job in America. That is what we do. That is who we are.
- That is our mission. This is our purpose in life: Reduce occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
- Now we know every business has a bottom line. So do we. Ours as safety and health professionals is the triple bottom line: injuries, illnesses and deaths on the job. To achieve the lowest values, we're continuing our balanced approach of
- Strong, fair and effective enforcement
- Outreach, education and compliance assistance
- Partnerships and cooperative programs
- Enforcement serves as the underpinning of everything we do. We're using national and local emphasis programs and site-specific targeting to focus on the right workplaces.
- To date, we have completed about 25,300 inspections in this fiscal year. We are right on target to reach our goal of 37,700 by September 30. And our enhanced enforcement program is helping to assure we don't allow recalcitrant employers to incorporate into the cost of doing business OSHA penalties by just paying for the violations instead of coming into compliance with the law. Inspections are the activity -- compliance, reduced workplace hazards and fewer injuries and illnesses are the results.
- Outreach, education and compliance assistance is also a critical component of our strategy. OSHA's website at www.osha.gov continues to be one of our most popular sources of information. Visits to our website shot up dramatically from 2002 to 2003 -- increasing by 150% in a year. We expect to host more than 50 million visitors this year.
- Two new features allow visitors to personalize the site and navigate more easily. MyOSHA lets visitors set up their own page to link to the topics they are interested in. And QuickStart offers a step-by-step guide to identify major OSHA requirements and guidance materials. We offer many other services -- and you know them well -- our toll-free line, QuickTakes, consultation services and training courses.
- Our partnerships and cooperative programs have also increased significantly -- SHARPS sites up to 788; Strategic Partnerships are now at 217. We have 191 Alliances, and we have 1086 VPP sites. Our plan is to draw more and more workplaces into these programs because they drive superior performance. They save lives, injuries and illnesses.
- Last year, we celebrated our 1,000th VPP site. Today we are looking at ways to enable even more workplaces and their workers to reap the benefits of participation. We want to remove barriers for potential applicants, optimize our collective resources and provide incentives to excel in safety and health performance.
- With the assistance and support of leaders from the business community and labor organizations, federal agencies and other stakeholders, we will expand and improve our Voluntary Protection Programs!
- We have three new programs under development:
- OSHA Challenge (Pilot)
- VPP Corporate (Pilot) and
- VPP Construction.
- Let me talk a little about the OSHA Challenge pilot. The OSHA Challenge pilot is designed to assist those who want to advance safety and health, realize value and continuously improve safety and health. OSHA provides participants with a progressive ladder to achieve better safety and health performance. The process guides participants through incremental stages -- three to be precise -- commensurate with the development and implementation of effective safety and health management elements.
- In OSHA Challenge, we will take advantage of the growing numbers of companies, federal agencies and nonprofit associations with VPP experience who are willing to reach out to others who want assistance. These organizations will serve as Challenge Administrators.
- Challenge Administrators will assist and encourage participants to develop stronger programs. They will help them collect data and track their performance as they progress. OSHA will provide recognition for each participant as they progress through the three stages of OSHA Challenge. We want workplaces to grow in safety and health. We want to recognize them for the growth.
- We are piloting this program with an outstanding group of nine Challenge Administrators -- trade associations, individual companies and the VPPPA. Each of the charter administrators has agreed to sponsor at least 10 sites. They will assist and encourage these sites and track their performance. Once a Challenge participant successfully moves up the ladder to the last stage, they should be ready to move up and may be considered for expedited participation in the VPP Star or Merit programs.
- Our second new program is called VPP Corporate. This program is designed to remove barriers faced by some corporations desiring to implement VPP company-wide or at a large number of their facilities.
- The current site VPP application and approval process can be duplicative for some corporations that have standardized safety and health management systems. In VPP Corporate, we have reduced some of the redundancy in the application and onsite evaluation processes. Streamlined application and onsite evaluation processes are intended to minimize non-value added redundancies while at the same time assure the integrity and quality of the VPP process.
- Six corporations -- and the U.S. Postal Service -- are piloting VPP Corporate. Many more are interested. You can find out more about both these pilot programs in the VPP workshop later in the conference. Keep in mind as we conduct these pilots, we are committed to maintaining the integrity and quality of VPP Star and Merit.
- Finally, later this year we will introduce VPP Construction. We're redesigning a VPP process to better fit the unique aspects of the mobile construction industry. We are developing this program based on our short-term and mobile workforce demonstration programs that have been underway over the last few years.
- We are working now on the Federal Register proposal and hope to publish it later this year. But we have several critical issues that must be addressed. Such as:
- What should be required for baseline hazard analysis? This requirement could be difficult for small construction companies.
- How should we handle onsite evaluations -- how many sites should we visit?
- How do we handle approvals if some sites are ready for Star and others for Merit and perhaps some not ready at all?
- We're also considering options for the requirements for annual emergency evacuation drills. This makes sense because construction sites change daily and the workforce changes as well.
- There is a special workshop on VPP Construction at this conference, and if you have questions or want to learn more about VPP construction, I encourage you to attend that. We need your input to finalize the proposal.
- Another of our partnership efforts is our Alliance program. Alliances are agreements -- without concessions -- with labor unions, companies, trade and professional associations and other federal agencies designed to promote safety and health. These 191 partnerships have increased access to information and helped employers and employees improve their safety and health efforts.
- I'm especially excited about the work we're doing with several Alliances to make the business case for safety and health. Dow Chemical recently released the first case, which successfully addressed ergonomics hazards in the company's design and construction division, enabling the company to reach its goal of reducing its reportable injury and illness rate by 90 percent -- before the target date of 2005.
- Using the Six Sigma process, the company challenged a team to identify the primary contributing factors to MSDs and reduce those factors by 70 percent. The team followed a four-step process-measure, analyze, improve and control.
- They identified several root causes:
- Employees didn't recognize the importance of ergonomics to their personal well-being
- Employees did not always follow proper procedures
- Some furniture wasn't designed or adjusted correctly
- Ergonomics wasn't emphasized by managers and the business unit
- To solve the problem, the team recommended upgrading work stations and increasing awareness of the importance of ergonomics -- for both managers and workers. The control step involved education and training and proper follow-up.
- As a result, the identified risk factors have been reduced 64% since the baseline measurement. The impact on injuries is also clear: 53% of ergonomic-related injuries in 2001 were lost-time or required advanced medical treatment; only 30% of cases were that severe in 2003.
- Perhaps just as important, this case study has been shared so that others recognize MSDs can be reduced, and these steps can help prevent ergonomics-related injuries.
- We are also working with Abbott Laboratories and Georgetown University's Center for Business and Public Policy to develop a number of additional case studies. All of these will go on our website on the Alliance page.
- Over the next several months we'll have information on
- The ergonomics program for office environments developed by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island.
- General safety and health management systems from Auto Parts Manufacturing Corporations.
- Fleet safety for the sales force at Abbott Laboratories.
- Construction project safety from Great American Ball Park.
- And engineering controls to reduce ergonomics hazards from Countryside Care Nursing Home.
- We're also working other companies such as Johnson & Johnson to identify more case studies. In addition to placing these on our website, we'll be sharing them with the academic community for inclusion in business, medical and engineering curricula.
- I saw the piece ASSE wrote for the IHS News on business cases. You recognize we need to continue the message.
- Now, speaking of ASSE, another very important Alliance is the one we have with ASSE. And in a few minutes, we'll be renewing that Alliance for two years.
- The OSHA and ASSE Alliance, signed on December 4, 2002, focuses on reducing musculoskeletal disorders by providing information and guidance and sharing best practices and technical knowledge on how to reduce and prevent employee exposure to ergonomic risk factors as well as develop, implement or improve ergonomic programs.
- In addition, ASSE has been most helpful to OSHA in mentoring and assisting agency staff as they work on professional certification -- including a mentoring reception at this year's conference -- today at 5:30 in the Hilton.
- We especially appreciate the work ASSE's ergonomics task force has done as well as the ergo resources project -- building a database of ergonomic assessment tools and best practices on the web.
- Many ASSE chapters have also worked with local and regional OSHA offices -- in Regions I, II, IV, VI in local Alliances on a wide variety of issues.
- I'm looking forward to renewing the national Alliance -- and expanding it to include youth workers and Hispanic outreach. Skipper and I will be signing it in just a few minutes in your Service Center.
- Before we do that I want to talk with you briefly about a couple of other important issues that OSHA is working on. The first is motor vehicle safety.
- Motor vehicle safety is one of the specific areas addressed by our five-year strategic management plan -- for good reason. Highway-related incidents are the number one cause of occupational fatalities in the U.S. In 2002, they cost 1,372 Americans their lives. That is 25% of work-related deaths.
- We have several strategies to address this problem. One of them is our Alliance with NETS -- the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety. NETS kicked off Drive Safely to Work Week last week. We're working together to develop training on safe driving practices and guidelines for establishing motor vehicle safety programs.
- The OSHA-Dow Alliance is also working on two case studies on motor vehicle safety. One will address incidental employee operators and the other will focus on motor vehicle fleet safety involving contract carriers.
- But there's more we can do -- beginning with the federal work force. I am not talking about a regulatory approach. We are approaching this through outreach and education, regardless what the cover of the NSC magazine said this month.
- We are still working on the details, but we will be announcing more later on promoting seat belt use among federal employees. As per a Presidential directive, we want every federal employee to buckle up -- whether they are driving or riding in government vehicles, rental cars, cabs or their own personal cars.
- Seat belts save lives. We know it. We intend to focus on our own employees in the federal government to make sure that message is clear and lead by example.
- Another critical issue is homeland security. OSHA's efforts at the World Trade Center Disaster Site established the foundation for our role in national emergency preparedness today.
- As a result of our work in this and other high profile disasters, I think more people are more aware than ever before that worker safety is a critical component of domestic emergency preparedness and response efforts. And OSHA's role in homeland security has expanded.
- We've been working with the Department of Homeland Security to define the role of the safety officer in the Incident Command System, and we'll be part of the National Integration Center that will oversee this system.
- DHS is also developing a new National Response Plan, which applies to virtually all disasters -- floods, hurricanes, wildfires, as well as terrorist events. This plan includes all phases -- prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. OSHA is supporting DHS by drafting a Worker Health and Safety Support Annex to the plan. We want to make sure that worker safety -- for responders, receivers and recovery workers -- is managed during every phase of an emergency whenever the National Response Plan is activated.
- To further help those who work on disaster sites, we are developing a Disaster Site Worker Training Program. Workers who take the training will receive "Authorized Disaster Site Worker" cards -- similar to the cards from OSHA 10-hour or 30-hour outreach training.
- We're also developing guidance for first receivers -- for hospital emergency personnel who may be exposed to hazardous substances when victims for mass casualties arrive for treatment. This guidance is now in final review, and we'll be putting it on our website within a couple of months.
- On our website you can also find an e-Tool on the Incident Command System. It offers basic information to help understand how emergencies will be managed.
- Finally, we are creating Specialized Response Teams. These are teams of seven to eleven experts that we can deploy rapidly when an emergency occurs. They will be equipped and trained to provide technical assistance to support the response to emergencies. Each team will focus on a different issue: toxic chemicals, biological agents, ionizing radiation or structural collapse hazards, and they will support OSHA's regional response.
- Our goal is to be ready when an incident occurs to support our nation's efforts to minimize the impact of the incident and assure those involved are properly protected.
- As we look at the safety and health landscape in 2004, our vision is clear -- zero injuries, illnesses and deaths in America's workplaces.
- OSHA is a safety and health agency, not just a regulatory agency any more. And our work continues as we work to assure compliance with safety and health laws and assure that workers have, to the extent possible, a safe and healthful workplace in which to work.
- We have moved ahead over the last 30+ years, but we have a lot more to learn and more to accomplish. We are partners in this effort, and by working with each and every one of you -- together we can create a safer and more healthful work environment while strengthening this country's economic and social base.
- Workers in our Nation and our economy -- deserve our very best.

The popularity of BMW's X Series proves that some people don't mind seeing BMW's classic twin grilles so high off the ground, and it shows that BMW can build performance at any altitude. All in all, the look of this sporty and small SUV hasn't changed much, and the sheet-metal appearance of BMW's sedans, coupes, and roadsters hasn't quite hit the 2005 BMW X3 yet, which for many people will be a good thing. BMW's engineering expertise also shines through the X3's sophisticated integration of the xDrive all-wheel-drive system, coupled with a 3.0-liter, inline six-cylinder and mediated by a five-speed automatic transmission. Despite these high points, there were also disappointments. Although we know BMW can also make fine interiors, we didn't see that in the X3, even though our test vehicle was equipped with the $1,800 Premium Package. We found the audio system and leather of only adequate quality and felt the ride was a bit rough. An optional navigation system ($1,800), Xenon adaptive headlights ($800), and a front and rear Park Distance Control system ($700) are available, though our test vehicle didn't come with them installed. It did have Bluetooth integration, which paired up nicely with our Motorola V505, as well as a double-pane moonroof similar to the one we liked so much on the Subaru Outback 3.0. The total price for our test X3--including the Premium Package mentioned above ($1,800), as well as the Sport Package ($1,500) and the Cold Weather Package ($750)--came in at $42,345. Our BMW X3 sports a classic silver exterior that goes perfectly with the interior's black leather seats and rubberized dashboard trim. From a distance, the cabin looks rather elegant, but this impression is ruined once you take a closer look. The leather on the seats, though nice and thick, has a finish that gives it the texture of vinyl. On the upside, the seats are power adjustable, with a memory setting for the driver seat. We've never been disappointed by the lumbar support in BMW seats, and the X3 didn't let us down either. Rear leg room is a little cramped, but with only two people in back, there's room to fold down the drink-holding console in the center. Unfortunately, the console's construction feels a little cheap.
We were impressed by the 2005 BMW X3's Bluetooth integration, which is controlled from steering-wheel buttons. The button marked R/T puts the X3 into pairing mode, and we had no problems getting connected. Our Motorola V505 immediately paired with the X3, and the car loaded our address book. Steering-wheel buttons let you scroll through address book entries, which are visible on the single-line display below the stereo, and you can place calls with a single button-push. Even better, the car automatically mutes the stereo volume during phone calls.
The stereo lived up to the inauspicious title of Business CD, which is inscribed in its black plastic face. This simple AM/FM/MP3 CD system pumps out audio through eight speakers, but we weren't all that impressed with the quality of the sound. It could use a subwoofer to make the audio more enveloping. The simple single line display below the CD slot also doesn't show ID3-tag information off MP3 CDs, which was disappointing, but as with the phone controls, the stereo can be manipulated from the steering wheel.
Also in the center console is a hatch where a navigation system might go--had that option been installed. As it was, the hatch provided room for sunglasses and parking change. The onboard computer displays average miles per hour, average miles per gallon, miles until empty, and trip miles just under the speedometer. We like the material on the dash, with its slightly rubberized feel.

Bruins hope days off pay off
|12.14.10 at 2:15 pm ET
The Bruins had a rare two-day break from the ice after Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers. The players' time was their own on Sunday, while they spent Monday at Target in Woburn Christmas shopping for children who have to spend the holidays in the hospital.
On Tuesday, they returned to Ristuccia Arena, working on the power play and practicing for over an hour.
"The two days [off] is definitely nice," Nathan Horton said. "I think we're overall rejuvenated, and everybody's ready to go. Everyone was excited to get back after two days. It's been a while, and it's nice to have a couple of days off."
The B's were preparing for their upcoming stretch of three games in four days beginning on Wednesday in Buffalo. After their bout with the Sabres, they'll travel to Montreal to face the Canadiens on Thursday before returning home against the Capitals on Saturday.
Given how heavy the schedule has been, Claude Julien saw Sunday and Monday as a good opportunity to let the B's rest up and let any aches players may be feeling work themselves out.
"I think so," Julien said when asked if the time off was necessary. "It's been a pretty heavy schedule for a lot of teams around the league. It's an opportunity for us to keep them off the ice here for a little bit."
With the return to the ice, Julien liked what he saw out of his guys. The break, which he hoped would allow them to "clear their heads a little bit and get ready for a big week," seemingly paid off with a good practice.
"I think they looked like they had lots of energy," Julien said. "Sometimes a couple of days off it good for you. When you say a couple of days off, I don't think they really had days off. They were busy doing other things. It's one of the few times that we're able to help them out in a way where they can get their rest and get away from practice."
Bruins return to practice
|12.14.10 at 11:25 am ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins took the ice at Ristuccia Arena on Tuesday after two days off. The team had an off-day following Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Flyers in overtime and spent Monday picking out gifts for local hospitalized children.
Everyone was accounted for as the B's took the ice, and it's their first skate since trading Marco Sturm. The team worked on the power play before practice. Here's how the color-coded lines looked:
Lucic – Krejci – Horton
Wheeler – Bergeron – Recchi
Seguin – Savard – Ryder – Paille
Marchand – Campbell – Thornton
Hilarious Belfast Giants Christmas video
|12.14.10 at 9:52 am ET
Forget cultural differences, as the Belfast Giants, the Bruins' opponent in one of their preseason games in Europe, have proven that it's difficult for anyone to remain seated during Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You."
The video features some killer choreography and some Hockey East faces.
Bruins use Monday to knock off Christmas shopping
|12.14.10 at 9:38 am ET
WOBURN — Christmas shopping is crazy enough, but it's a little crazier when professional athletes are doing the same, easily identifiable by their jerseys and Santa Clause hats.
That was the scene at Woburn's Target store on Monday as the B's did their annual Holiday Toy Shopping to pick up presents for local hospitalized children.
"It's always nice, especially when you know it's going to kids that won't have a chance to be home for Christmas," captain Zdeno Chara said. "At least this way, we want t make it really easy and comfortable for them. Hopefully they're going to enjoy it."
This was no case of grabbing the first things you can find and calling it a day. Players were given checklists, shopping carts and Target employees as they went through the store. Nathan Horton, a father who admittedly is learned on the popular gifts, had no trouble filling shopping carts with toys and even iPods.
It wasn't long ago that 18-year-old Tyler Seguin was getting giddy over Christmas presents. The youngest player on the team, Seguin said he enjoyed Power Rangers toys as a child. As he picked presents on Tuesday, he was careful and deliberate in taking a good look at each gift before tossing it in the cart.
"This is a lot of fun," Seguin said as he inspected the toys. "Any time you get to give back to the community and fans, it's always a nice feeling. I get to tell my family all the good stuff and good causes we're supporting."
The B's have been picking up presents for hospitalized children since the days of Ray Bourque. After Bourque was sent Colorado, Concord-born Hal Gill took over the operation, with P.J. Axelsson succeeding Gill. Patrice Bergeron, the longest-tenured current Bruins player, runs the show now.
"I liked doing it when Hal was here, and then P.J. took care of it," Bergeron said Monday. "Once they left, I told [Director of Community Relations] Kerry [Collins] I wanted to take over because it's something that I like and I think it's something that the kids enjoy. It's something that's very important for the community."
The next step of the process is actually delivering the gifts, which players noted is the best part.
"Today, it's fun. You're throwing a bunch of toys and stuff in the cart, but the big thing is when we drop them off at the hospitals," Mark Stuart said. "It's good to actually meet the kids and actually know where it's going. That's important with any charity."
Jody Shelley suspended for two games
|12.14.10 at 9:36 am ET
Flyers forward Jody Shelley was suspended for two games on Monday for his hit from behind on Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid. Shelley shoved McQuaid with two hands into the boards in the second period of Saturday's 2-1 Flyers overtime victory as the two were chasing an iced puck. It was a couple of minutes before McQuaid, who went head-first into the boards, would return to his feet, though he fortunately only had the wind knocked out of him. He returned to the game later int the period.
McQuaid told WEEI.com on Monday that he was still feeling "a little stiff and a little sore," but that he's glad he wasn't hurt on the play and can move on from it. He said he has watched replays of the hit "a few times" and that "it looked worse than it was."
Report: Flyers GM expects Jody Shelley to be suspended for hit on Adam McQuaid
|12.12.10 at 5:06 pm ET
According to a tweet from TSN's Bob McKenzie, the NHL has scheduled a disciplinary hearing for Monday in regard to Flyers forward Jody Shelley's hit on Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid. The play, in which Shelley received a boarding major and game misconduct, occurred in the second period of the Flyers' 2-1 overtime win. The players were racing for an iced puck when Shelley pushed McQuaid, who went head-first into the boards and had the wind knocked out of him.
Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia's Tim Panaccio tweeted Sunday that Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren expects Shelley to be suspended for one game.
Claude Julien, Adam McQuaid not fans of Jody Shelley hit
|12.11.10 at 10:55 pm ET
In his postgame press conference, Bruins coach Claude Julien called Jody Shelley's hit from behind on Adam McQuaid "definitely uncalled for" and that he didn't know what the intent of the play was. McQuaid and Shelley were racing after an iced puck when Shelley pushed the B's defenseman. The momentum carried McQuaid into the boards head-first, and the 24-year-old blueliner remained on the ice as play was stopped.
"I looked at it again and personally, I didn't think there was any need for it," Julien said. "I don't know what [Shelley's] intention was, but certainly, there was no need for that at all and I think that's one of the things we're trying to get out of game.
"I know [Jody] Shelley a little bit from a long time ago and he's actually a good person and, to me, he's a tough guy. I don't know that he's purposely gone out there to injure people like that so I found that a little bit strange that he would do that. It's unfortunate. … Hopefully the League deals with it the proper way and we'll go from there."
McQuaid said that he could hear Shelley saying he didn't mean it while he was on the ice, but regardless of intent, McQuaid wasn't a fan of the play.
"I mean, I didn't go in on my own," McQuaid said when asked if he felt it was a reckless play. "I felt like I got pushed."
McQuaid said he got the wind knocked out of him, and after undergoing a few tests was allowed to return to the ice later in the period.

The "Help-4-Haiti" three point shootout was sponsored by an area business, Marcus Easley of "Supply and D3mand Shoes and Clothes" said he wanted to help Haiti because he remembers what it felt like following Hurricane Katrina.

Mexico's victory drought in soccer against the United States on U.S. soil was extended into double figures with a 2-2 tie in last night's friendly before 70,103 mostly green-clad fans rocking sold-out Reliant Stadium in Houston. The teams now have met 10 times on this side of the border since 2000. The Americans have won eight, tied two and lost none.
But through 90 minutes of mostly scintillating soccer, you got the feeling that thunderheads are on the horizon, that the worm in the tequila bottle may be turning.
"Absolutely," Mexico defender Jonny Magallon said when asked if 2-2 amounted to a moral victory. "There's no question about it."
In past encounters, the game plan was simple for the Americans: Get a goal against the run of play, then watch their frustrated counterparts crumble.
Twice last night, the U.S. men took the lead.
Twice, El Tri clawed back and conjured an equalizer.
"We generally play at a pace that they're not comfortable playing at," U.S. midfielder Landon Donovan told ESPN2 afterward. "Now you see, though, with a lot of their players playing in Europe, they can keep up that tempo. The game tonight was back and forth the whole time, and they were able to hang with it."
The big question, then, becomes whether this was a hiccup for the Americans, or a portent.
Mexico coach Hugo Sanchez unleashed his Generacion Dorada (Golden Generation) against the Americans for the first time, with Arsenal prospect Carlos Vela, all of 18, giving the right side of the U.S. defense fits for the first half. Then Barcelona's Giovani dos Santos, also 18, subbed in and did the same to the Americans' left side.
U.S. coach Bob Bradley bloodied some youngsters himself, with mixed results. The 18-year-old Jozy Altidore got the start at forward, played the full 90 minutes and scored the second U.S. goal on a powerful header in the 40th minute.
The assist came from 24-year-old right back Drew Moor, making just his fourth appearance with the national team. But Moor also was badly beaten to the far post on both Magallon goals, on a free kick in the 35th minute and a corner kick early in the second half.
Credit Magallon and Mexico for finally unlocking the U.S. defense. Credit the Americans for gritting out a tie when they didn't take their first shot until the 27th minute and were outshot 13-3.
The opening goal came from defender Oguchi Onyewu, one of seven Europe-based players in the U.S. starting 11. The play began with Onyewu's long throw-in from the left side that Altidore headed to Donovan on the right, only for Donovan to loft the ball back across the goal mouth. The 6-foot-4 Onyewu charged in from the left, unmarked, for a header that looped over Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa before kissing off the right post.
It was a goal against the run of play, and in years past it would have been El Tri-tanic. Six minutes later, Magallon had tied it.
Altidore made it 2-1 and, a minute later, Clint Dempsey momentarily appeared to push the lead to 3-1 by beating Ochoa with a low shot from the top of the penalty area. ESPN2 even adjusted its on-screen scoreboard. Turns out, Dempsey was whistled for offside.
Two minutes into the second half, it was 2-2 and the Americans were in full retreat mode.
Said Magallon: "This is something we can definitely build on."
Of course, they might have to wait awhile. The U.S. and Mexico aren't expected to meet again in a full international for at least another year, in a pair of qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup.

'Sesame Street' Site: Serious Child's Play
By MICHELLE SLATALLA
Published: April 22, 1999
THE office of Children's Television Workshop Online in Manhattan is a preschooler's decorating dream, with a wall-size blackboard, armchairs that fairly beg for someone to curl up and tell a story and a mesmerizing carpet of crayon-bright red, blue and orange that could have been designed by a ''Romper Room'' Martha Stewart. The only thing missing is . . . children.
But maybe not. Most of the staff members who designed and created the new Web site (www.ctw.org) for the Children's Television Workshop, the creator of ''Sesame Street,'' look too young to even have children themselves. But they have valuable firsthand experience: they are, after all, members of the first generation of children who grew up with Muppets.
Tina Sharkey, the group's vice president and general manager, certainly fits that description, and she was described by her former boss, Candice Carpenter, a founder of the Internet company iVillage, as ''more like a kid than any other adult I know.'' Ms. Sharkey, who is 34, said the ''Sesame Street'' show ''invented one of the most important movements of the 20th century, empowering families to get involved with their kids' learning.''
Ms. Sharkey acknowledges watching ''Sesame Street'' still. ''I was on the treadmill one morning last season, watching an episode about Slimey the Worm, who wanted to go into outer space,'' she said. ''There was Tony Bennett, standing on a rooftop singing, 'Slimey to the Moon,' and all of a sudden, I started sobbing. It was amazing.''
The task that faced Ms. Sharkey and her team of 30 producers, designers and marketers at Children's Television Workshop Online in 1997 was to recreate on the Web the enormously familiar and comforting blend of education and entertainment that ''Sesame Street'' pioneered on television nearly three decades earlier. ''We had to take what we as a company understand about a 6-year-old's mind-set and then apply it to the Web,'' Ms. Sharkey said.
In some ways, ''Sesame Street's'' status as a pop-culture icon, as the veritable gold standard of children's programming, made the on-line team's job more complicated. They had to compete with a legend. The producers of ''Sesame Street'' understood kids and they understood television. But did they understand the Internet?
In addition, the Web site for the company, which is nonprofit, had to define itself in relation to such well-entrenched commercial destinations as Disney Online's www.disney.com and the www.nick.com site of the Nickelodeon cable network. In February, Nickelodeon announced its plan to create a free on-line service for kids, tentatively named Project Nozzle. Scheduled to begin on Sept. 1 and backed by on-air promotions from Nickelodeon worth $100 million, the project is widely viewed as the network's attempt to ''basically own the children's TV space on line,'' said Patrick Keane, a senior analyst at Jupiter Communications, a Web research firm.
When Ms. Sharkey arrived at Children's Television Workshop's on-line division in July 1997, the Web site consisted of some material recycled from a previous on-line venture and a television schedule.
The first step was to appeal to the Children's Television Workshop's core audience: families. One insight of the original designers of ''Sesame Street'' was that children would watch educational programs more readily if their parents watched, too, which is one reason the television series has always featured pop cultural references and celebrities and sophisticated humor.
Web site staff members knew that a receptive family audience was already on line. A recent study from the Find/SVP and Grunwald Associates research firms showed that 67 percent of parents who own computers log on with their children. ''We needed to build on the idea that we are the only company in the world who has this rite-of-passage relationship with kids and parents,'' Ms. Sharkey said. That meant creating a site that encouraged a preschooler to sit on a parent's lap and engage in collaborative mouse-clicking adventures -- what Web producers began to call ''lapware.''
For the site's home page, ''we had to think about the way kids play, how they like to have everything spread out all around them and then they want to choose one thing to do,'' said Paul Marcum, the on-line group's executive producer. The result was a menu that is as brightly colored as the office carpet and that offers users many options with names like Sesame Street Central, Preschool Playground and Activity Time.
Realizing that children like to master tasks, the team designed interactive games. In a counting game that features the popular Muppet called Grover as a farmer, children who match numbers hidden in his harvested vegetables are rewarded with a Tinkerbell-like jingling sound. A mismatch prompts the computer to emit a noise more reminiscent of a Bronx cheer.
Another Children's Television Workshop staple has been storytelling. ''When you're reading a book, the interaction might consist of turning a page,'' said Karen Kane, the team's director of programming. ''But we created branching stories on line so children can control the plot, depending on what they click on.'' In a story about Telly the Muppet going into outer space, for example, a child can drag objects into the story to change the action. Dragging a moon into the story screen sets the scene at night; if a sun is dragged instead, the story's action occurs during the day. The activity is especially compelling for small children, who love repetition, because they can return to the story to change its plot numerous times.

I'm having a problem which I see in other forum threads, but have not seen nor found a solution.
Our test "applications" are not being accepted nor saved. When submitting an application we get the following error message.
"Thank you for your application. While your application doesn't fit our current requirements, please contact us directly to see if we have other positions available."
We've completed the application properly. The mandatory field messages are working properly. Once we fill out all of the mandatory fields and submit, we get the message above rather than the message from our "Application Acceptance" text.
This closed thread addresses the same issue.
The resolution one user seems to have found is to not make any of the fields "mandatory". This is not an acceptable solution for this particular project.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

"Perhaps worst of all," Andrew Moylan of NTU said, "this package does nothing constructive to advance the cause of passing a Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) to our Constitution that would insulate taxpayers from Washington's recklessness."
The "cut, cap and balance" plan would have only allowed a hike in the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit if Congress had first passed a a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget. The Treasury Department says the ceiling needs to be raised by Aug. 2, which is next Tuesday.
Cantor urged fellow Republicans on Tuesday to buck up, line up behind the Speaker and stop "grumbling and whining" about the plan.
But Rep. Jim Jordan, the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, said at a Tuesday news conference that he was confident Boehner's plan could not pass the House with just Republican votes.

Boehner's plan, according to estimates, would allow the ceiling to be raised until early next year. A new debt panel created by the proposal would be tasked with finding more deficit cuts that, if accepted, would allow the ceiling to be raised again.
Democrats have decried that approach, saying market uncertainty would result if the debt ceiling isn't raised for a longer period of time.

Frog Mama (Frogmama Baby Carriers and More) did announce today on FB that there will be some sort of deal this weekend, so make sure to check out her FB page and the site as the week progresses.
People have said in the past that PaxBaby (PAXbaby.com | *Happy Babywearing*), Marsupial Mamas (Marsupial Mamas, LLC — Welcome), and KinderCarry/KinderPack (Kindercarry — Home) have had some kind of deal going on. Boba did allow vender last year to discount their products Thanksgiving Day (but didn't announce it till that day).

Remember that time pre-hashtag? 2007. The first generation of the iPhone was only a few months old. JK Rowling released the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter series.

Organic reach on Facebook is decreasing, and has been on the decline for more than a year.
