Hobby Lobby Backlash
People Sound Off Online
By BTL Staff
Originally printed 7/8/2014 (Issue 2226 - Between The Lines News)
The June 30 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the "Hobby Lobby" case has resulted in controversy. The 5 to 4 decision found that commercial employers may have religious exemptions from covering contraception in company health insurance plans.
Many sounded off on Facebook about the case:
"This isn't a war on women it, it is about Christian rights, men go buy their protection, insurance does not pay for it, women can do the very same thing!"
"We the people are not LAWYERS why should WE read between the LINES what's right is RIGHT and what's WRONG is WRONG and this is all WRONG the JUDGES that settle this are GOD WHAT DO YOU THINK!"
"What is the big deal! If a men want to have sex 24/7 why can't women protect themselves from getting pregnant? Why are companies and government getting into our private lives? Leave us women alone. If the good old boys want their sex toys let us have ours."
"What other procedures will a corporation deem not accommodating its religious/moral belief system? Will corporations in the future look to deny hiring employees whose actions, beliefs, don't match a corporate's 'religious beliefs?"
The Hobby Lobby Facebook page has been innundated with varying views, including:
"You never actually lost your religious freedom. You've deprived your employees of a benefit that you don't have to administer yourselves, and that they can get from any one of your competitors. Your beliefs were never threatened, just your ability to impose those beliefs on your employees to their detriment. Here's wishing you reap the whirlwind of your misguided views."
"You have my full support Hobby Lobby. I loved your store before but now you will be my primary Hobby store. Keep the faith."
"Hobby Lobby, I have two daughters with health conditions that require them to take specific forms of birth control. You are not physicians. You are not a church. You have no business dictating what medications AND doctor's appointments women should have access to. I will never again shop at a business that presumes that it's 'corporate' religion is more important than a woman's right to access her healthcare. While my daughters are not Hobby Lobby employees, that Supreme Court ruling applies to any 'closely held' corporation and affects all women. I have lost all respect for you, Hobby Lobby and will never support your quest to force your religious beliefs on your employees and through your lawsuit, all American women."
"Why is Hobby Lobby blocking the free speech of people they disagree with on their FB page. I've had two friends now unable to post on this site. Bad enough HL wants to take away medical choices from women, impose their brand of so-called 'christianity,' NOW they want to prohibit free speech. Disgusting!"
"Hobby Lobby, I will not buy any of your products again. Please be aware that you have lost another customer."Have you let your voice be heard on the decision?

Why don't Israelis Design for Firefox?
I love Firefox. I loved it before version 2.0, and now I love it even more. With its shiny new interface, amazing tabbed features, and fabulous plugins, why would anyone use Internet Explorer anymore? And for anyone who cares about web standards, Firefox is it.
But for some reason Israelis don't have a clue about Firefox – both designers and users. Too many Israeli web sites break apart in Firefox, or tell you that certain content can only be viewed with IE. I know that the huge majority of web users use IE, but a designer's job is to take everyone into account. And it's not like Firefox has ignored the Israeli community – there is a complete Hebrew version of the browser which can be easily downloaded from the site.
If so many Israeli sites don't work in Firefox, how can I expect Israelis to use it? Luckily there is a great plug in called IE Tab, which allows the user to choose to view certain sites in a tab that renders the site just as IE would. This is very useful, and has enabled me to mostly stay away from IE.
So come on – why don't you try Firefox out? You'll be amazed at how quickly it opens, and you can't beat the tabbed browsing and snazzy add-ons/plugins!

That's a good question. I've also noticed that israeli websites are more likely to be IE only. One possible explanation is that Israelis are grateful for the tech jobs provided by Microsoft. I also wouldn't be surprised to see very few PC's with AMD chips
November 27, 2006 7:06 pm
Ari, that's an interesting take on the Israeli devotion to Internet Explorer. I also think that maybe Microsoft has such a strong hold in Israel that people either aren't aware that there are other options out there, or they're aware but figure that no one can beat Microsoft for features and Hebrew compatibility. Whatever the case, I hope we'll start to see a change in the realm of Israeli web design.

How about trying Maxthon? I use both Maxthon and Firefox. Maxthon uses the IE engine so everything looks and feels like IE except that you dont get the ads and garbage you get from IE. It also has a lot of cool features. If it works on IE it will work on Maxthon. In fact after installing Maxthon all my favorites and URL history from IE was already installed. I wouldnt be surprised if many Israelis use Maxthon.
December 6, 2006 7:07 pm
I never heard of Maxthon, but it definitely looks interesting. I think I may try it out and post a review over here. But it will have to be pretty amazing to replace Firefox in my books!

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Wrong-way crashes on Ohio roads and highways do not occur often, but when they do, they typically result in death or serious injuries of the drivers or passengers, the State Highway Patrol said in a two-year study released today.
And nearly three of every five wrong-way drivers were suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash, the report said. The patrol released the report in anticipation of July 4, one of the busiest holidays on the state's streets and highways.
"What we learned from this study is that most of these crashes are occurring at night, by impaired drivers, said Col. John Born, the superintendent of the Patrol. "And that these types of crashes will more likely end with a fatality."
And some of the tragedies have taken place in Cuyahoga County.
In November, former social worker Jennifer Kearney was sentenced to three years in prison for causing the wrong-way accident that killed Kenneth Stith, 54, on Interstate 90 in July 2011.
"I pray that God will be with everyone involved and lighten their anguish,'' Kearney said at her sentencing
The study examined 60 wrong-way crashes on the state's divided roadways from January 2011 through April 2013. In those accidents, 31 people died and 85 suffered injuries. The patrol said 58 percent of the wrong-way drivers were suspected of being impaired at the time of the crash. (See the full study below. Mobile users can see the pdf here.)
That rate is 12 times higher than all at-fault drivers involved in accidents in Ohio during the time period.
"This analysis has revealed a strong association between wrong-way driving and impaired driving," the report said.
The report also found:
Drunken drivers caused 100 percent of wrong-way crashes during the summer and 57 percent of the accidents during the winter.
Impaired drivers caused 70 percent of all crashes during the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. By contrast, 18 percent of the drunken drivers caused the crashes during the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
83 percent of the wrong-way drivers ages 55 and under were suspected of drunken driving at the time of the crash.
At least one in four drivers in wrong-way crashes had at least one impaired driving conviction in their past. Most of those drivers -- 70 percent -- had repeated convictions.
"Anecdotally, I think we knew impaired driving led to these problems, but the statistics make it so eye-opening,'' said the patrol's Lt. Anne Ralston. "Wrong-way drivers are extremely unpredictable. Unfortunately, most of the time, they don't even know what they're doing."

I never thought much about the bias that many newspaper editors and television stations have against people. I was naive to think that the news media as a whole would be objective and impartial, allowing both sides to be heard.
For months now, the TVnews and written word have glorified Barack Obama, showing proof positive that the news media are biased and one-sided; otherwise, they would have given McCain the same amount of publicity.
Further, the continuous attacks against the Bush administration and the recent personal attacks against Sarah Palin reinforce my opinion concerning the professionalism in journalism. The news agencies that pander to one side or the other have lost their credibility in my opinion. They can no longer claim that they are unbiased when reporting the news when they blatantly take sides.
The fact that many news outlets only report the negative issues in politics and ignore the positive tells me that they have their own personal agendas while keeping the whole truth from the American people.
Not being affiliated with either party, I can honestly say that people like me see that many in the news media can't be trusted to report the truth without distorting the facts.
In my humble opinion, you who are the perpetrators of said bias will eventually go out of business because you have lost your integrity, while those who report accurately and honestly will prosper.
We are watching and listening.

I have just upgraded to Apache2.0 (with mod_perl on Win32) from Apache
1.3. Now, if I am correct the SSLLog and SSLLogLevel directives are no
longer supported in the new version of Apache2.x with mod_ssl. The
ErrorLog and LogLevel directives are to be used in place of the older
My problem is this: If I use the ErrorLog and LogLevel Directives for
SSL, the SSL logs are generated within the webserver log (error_log
file). Since I am developing the application, I have set the LogLevel
directive of the error_log to "debug". This results in a lengthy log
file (since the same level applies for the SSL log too) and I have to
go through the SSL logs while I see the webserver logs. Is there any
way I can disable the SSL log generation? Or maybe I could have a
separate SSL log altogether?
Please Help!

The cat eye is a huge eyeliner trend this season, but it is one I have been wearing for years due to how it widens my eye. As I'm getting older, my lids are beginning to have more skin sagging in the crease area, so to keep the focus on my hazel eyes and not on the flaw of my aging skin, I use the cat eye as my makeup trick.

One of my favorite history tidbits is the story of borax and the 20-mule teams used to pull the huge wagons through Death Valley.
My first memory of the subject came when mother brought home a small box of 20-Mule Team Borax soap. Greasy hands from servicing farm machinery could be cleaned instantly with the white gritty crystals. It also helped the old Maytag washing machine wash away the dirt and grime of farming from our overalls.
Something about the box sides showing pictures of the long string of mules pulling the outrageously huge wagons caught this little boy's fancy. When the box was empty, I cut out the pictures and pinned them on the wall of my room. Once I glued a picture to the side of a wooden block so I could push it along my imaginary desert trails. My trails wound in between the chunks of coal in our coal pile simulating mountains while I yelled "gee" and "haw" to my teams.
Later in life, I learned everything I could about the borax story. The white crystals are one of many forms of salt found mixed with other elements mined in Death Valley. It is mostly used in making glass, soaps, fire retardants and food preservation. Though not nearly as valuable as gold and silver, borax has retained a continuous market since about 1882 when the Harmony Borax Works was established in Death Valley.
One of the main costs of early borax production was transporting the product 165 miles from the mine in Death Valley to Mojave where it could be loaded on the railroad. The journey took 10 days, traveling 15 to 18 miles per day, with half the overnight camps dry where water had to be hauled in a tank pulled behind the loaded wagons.
One interesting detail of the road traveled included the Devil's Golf Course across a six-mile stretch of dry salt lake bed. Salt crystals had formed hard-as-glass pinnacles a few inches high which could penetrate a mule's hoof if stepped on. Chinese workers were hired to chop and level a path about four miles long for the mules and wagons to traverse the site.
Special wagons were designed and built to haul 20,000 pounds or more, using rear wheels 7 feet high with iron tires 8 inches wide. A fully loaded wagon weighed 31,800 pounds. With two wagons in tandem often pulling a water tank behind, the caravan might weigh more than 36 tons during its journey.
History states the company kept 20 such caravans on the road continually. A little mental arithmetic reveals with this amount of equipment plus other wagons hauling hay, grain and water to the overnight camps, the company probably owned more than 500 mules and draft horses at any one time.
A humorous thought here is, in the process of working 500 mules, and if cuss-words weighed pounds, those 20-huge wagons probably could not have hauled all the cuss-words used in a long day's work.

STMicro Polishes Indoor Navigation for $4.3 Billion Market
STMicroelectronics NV will show improved indoor navigation tools and technology that can stop handsets taking blurred photos as it tries to keep leadership in a market that may reach $4.3 billion in 2015.
Europe's biggest chipmaker plans to demonstrate the world's "most accurate" indoor measurement system for mobile-phone location at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week, said Benedetto Vigna, the Geneva-based company's general manager of MEMS and sensor products. It will also use the trade fair to unveil image-stabilization components.
MEMS, or microelectromechanical systems, are becoming ubiquitous in smartphones and tablets such as Apple Inc.'s iPhones and iPads, providing motion-sensing for turning, tilting and tapping devices. STMicroelectronics's indoor navigation system uses data from Wi-Fi access points, motion sensors and satellite-based positioning, and tackles the issue of "urban canyons" and indoor environments where signals from GPS satellites can't be received, Vigna said.
"It will allow a new wave of location-based services," Vigna said in a phone interview. "Your cell phone will be able to guide you to a Gucci store within a mall, or to your parking lot. You can get information and advertising targeted on your location" in places such as underground trains, airports and museums.
Apple Benefit
STMicroelectronics has reinforced its position as the world's biggest supplier of consumer MEMS, and is benefiting from the success of iPhones and iPads, for which it is the sole source for accelerometers and gyroscopes, according to researcher IHS iSuppli. Apple accounted for half of the MEMS business of the company in 2011, IHS iSuppli said.
Global MEMS revenue for consumer and mobile applications will rise to $4.3 billion in 2015 from about $2.16 billion last year, IHS iSuppli predicted this month.
MEMS are becoming "the new mice for touch devices," Vigna said. "Now there are two trends driving demand: optical image stabilization and location-based services. Indoor navigation will be a killer app."
STMicroelectronics Chief Executive Officer Carlo Bozotti has said that 2011 was "a year of record revenue" for MEMS, which includes gyroscopes and accelerometers for motion-sensing in smartphones and tablets.
Camera Features
As handsets' built-in cameras become capable of taking higher-definition pictures with more pixels, the greater exposure time required for bright and sharp images may increase the effect of users' movements, resulting in blurred pictures. Optical image stabilization, to detect handshake and stabilize the optical components of cameras, will become a standard feature in such devices, Vigna said.
"The market for OIS is big as it will be a must-have for next-generation cameras," he said. "More pixels mean greater stabilization is required."
At Barcelona, the company will demonstrate OIS for mobile devices based on so-called shape memory alloy smart material.
This year, STMicroelectronics introduced the first dual-core gyroscope, which can handle both user-motion recognition and camera-image stabilization. This allows device makers to use a single gyroscope for the two different functions, reducing the size, complexity and cost in mobile phones and tablets.
"We see a lot of interest for using motion sensors for indoor navigation," said Jeremie Bouchaud, a Munich-based senior MEMS and sensors analyst at IHS iSuppli. "The future of navigation is with the mobile handset. Content for indoor navigation is rapidly growing."
Lighter Devices
MEMS is used in motion-activated user interfaces in mobile and consumer devices including Nintendo Co.'s Wii gaming console. The latest sensors and modules are smaller and use less power, enabling new features to be added to thinner and lighter smartphones and tablets without impairing battery life.
"Miniaturization is a powerful driver in mobile electronics and indeed in the semiconductor industry as a whole," said Adib Ghubril, a Toronto-based analyst at researcher Gartner Inc. "Devices have to meet form factors that are getting tighter and tighter; they have to consume less and less power, run cooler and cooler and do more."
STMicroelectronics shares fell 0.9 percent to 5.64 euros at 9:56 a.m. in Paris, giving the company a market value of 5.13 billion euros ($6.8 billion). The stock has climbed 23 percent this year after declining 42 percent in 2011.

2005 History Abstracts
2005 Research Fair Archive - History Abstracts
Brothers in Arms, Ernesto Guevara and Fidel Castro
Fidel Castro and Ernesto "Che" Guevara top the list of famous modern revolutionaries. Using several academic models of revolutionists, a critical analysis of the relationship between Castro and Guevara will reveal two very different revolutionary personalities: the idealist, Guevara, and the administrator, Castro. Both were instrumental in the success of the Cuban Revolution of 1959, but their intellectual differences are also important. There can be no doubt that Fidel Castro is the heart and supreme leader of the Cuban Revolution Party (or the July 26 Movement); yet Castro could not export revolution or achieve it at home without Guevara. The two men are forever linked, and their actions in 1959 have set the revolutionary standard in the modern age.
Counter-Productive Bombing, Brought to you by the U.S. Government
Prolonged utilization of bombings fail to produce desired results. American air campaigns during Vietnam present questions surrounding the decision making of the executive branch. Air warfare policy authors hypothesized that strategic and tactical bombardments achieve military, economic, and psychological capitulation, this is a miscalculation. Despite the disparity bombings continued. U.S aircraft unloaded more explosives on Vietnam then both theaters of WWII. At some point one might question the viability of bombing however Lyndon Johnson pushed forward. Nixon completed Johnson's unfinished work and this paper finally asks what motivated the tremendous destruction. Why continue bombing when it neglects to produce expected results?
Black Dreams of Spain, Anarchism and the Spanish Revolution
The passion and devotion of the Spanish Anarchist Movement culminated in profound social revolution in the late 1930s. For seventy years the movement was shaped by essential anarchist principles and the extant conditions of late 19th and early 20th century Spain. There is something unique in the Spanish character that invited and cultivated a thriving anarchist movement. This paper provides an analysis of anarchist theories and ideas, and the impact of anarchists on the socio-political fabric of Spain, 1866-1939.
The Hammer & Sickle: Propaganda and the Success of the Russian Revolution
In the small towns and villages of Russia the average peasant or worker had no understanding of the theories of Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels, nor could they outline the basic tenants of the proletariat revolution, a fundamental concept in communist ideology. Prior to the 1917 revolutions, the Russian people had become attached to the beloved image of an imperial father, an image personified by Tsar Nicolas II. After the Romanov Dynasty collapsed and the provisional government was overtaken, new revolutionary leaders were met with the challenge of replacing the familiar image of the Tsar with images of revolution. In addition, the revolution would require mass mobilization and participation in a social and political paradigm shift. And the people would have to be won over by a philosophy that had previously been completely foreign to them. However, people from the Ural Mountains to Far Eastern Pacific, from the Arctic Siberian Tundra to the boarders of India, were mobilized and integrated into a social transformation which seemed to span from end of the ideological spectrum to the other. With the use of chants, rituals and propaganda, multifaceted political philosophy was broken down into simple common denominations.
Specifically, the paper will focus on Bolshevik propaganda in the time period surrounding the revolution of 1917. Mediums of propaganda will symbols include party emblems, seals, iconography and political insignias from the hammer and sickle to the red five point star. Rituals such as parades, unveilings, celebrations, chants, and motivational rhetoric in speech and communication as well as social illustrations including posters, political cartoons, social imagery and political artwork will also be examined as a means of redefining post-revolutionary Russian identity in multiple socio-political aspects.
Innocent III St. Peter's Illegitimate Heir
This paper will discuss the papacy of Innocent III (1198-1216). It will particularly focus on his actions within the secular realm. Innocent III called crusades, persecuted "heretics," and even crowned kings. These ventures into the secular world have created controversy regarding Innocent III's reign. This paper will analyze the actions of Innocent III and discuss that he did not fulfill the traditional role of the pope. Innocent III acted frowardly as a spiritual leader and pope when he became too political and involved the papacy in areas that did not pertain to the holy directive of the Catholic Church. To prove this point, Innocent's actions will be compared with the writings of St. Peter, the first Bishop of Rome, and upon whom the papacy built its claim of spiritual supremacy.

|About La Salle
|Community Service
|News and Media
|Printing Policy in Student Labs and Classrooms
|Until now, La Salle has been one of the few universities that does not charge students to use its printers. However, the expense to support printing in the student labs has risen dramatically in the last several years. Much of this expense is due to waste and a small percentage of students who abuse the printing privileges. La Salle intends to continue to offer printing as a free service. In order to do so, a limit is being placed on the number of pages that a student may print each semester.
|At the start of each semester the balance in each student's printer usage account will be reset to $40. Each black and white printed page will cost 10 cents. Color copies are currently not available. Effectively, students will have 400 free black and white printed pages per semester. Double-sided printed pages will count as a single page. Please note that printers that support duplex printing are set to default to double-side printing.
|When students print from an application, the print job will not automatically execute. It will be paused in the print queue and a message will appear on-screen with an account balance displayed. At this point, an option will be presented to print or cancel the print job. On most computers, the remaining balance will appear after the pages have printed.
|Based on prior usage statistics, 80 % of the student population currently prints less than 400 pages per semester, and will be unaffected by this limitation. Students who wish to print more than 400 pages will be able to do so by purchasing additional credit. Users may deposit funds into their account at any time. For those who do want to purchase additional printing capacity, you must go to the Bursar's Office and make a payment into the Student Printer Usage Account. You may deposit any amount into this account. The Bursar's Office will give you a receipt. At the end of each day the Bursar's Office will send a report of the accounts to be credited to the Information Technology Department. Your account will be credited by the end of the next business day. Balances will not carry over to the next semester when the accounts are reset.
|This policy has been put into place to enable us to continue to offer free printing services to the majority of our students, and to encourage conservation of paper and consumables. Any questions may be directed to email@example.com.

Good bright ruby. Reticent but powerful nose hints at dark berries, licorice, mint and bitter chocolate, conveying a strong impression of gravel. Plush on entry, then large-scaled and generous in the middle but with little in the way of easy sweetness. Seems riper than the preceding wines, and more refined too. The very long finish features chocolatey-rich, seamless tannins. A great showing today, but this really needs at least eight years in the cellar.

Cody Robinson nearly erased the frustration Tulane felt when it squandered a couple of scoring opportunities Friday night against one of the nation's top pitchers.
Trailing 6-3 with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, Robinson hit a deep fly ball to left-center field. But Ole Miss' Tim Ferguson leaped at the wall to rob Robinson of a grand slam.
The Rebels, ranked 19th by Baseball America, held on for a 6-4 victory at Turchin Stadium.
"I definitely thought it was gone, " Robinson said. "It goes to show that baseball is — as that cliché saying goes — a game of inches. A couple of inches up ... ."
The outcome also might have been different if the Green Wave had not dug itself a 6-1 hole. One missed opportunity came in the second inning, when Tulane left the bases loaded without scoring.
Pomeranz (2-0), a top draft prospect with a 90-plus mph fastball and a nasty breaking ball, earned the victory, allowing one run and six hits over six innings. He struck out six. The lone run he yielded came on a homer by Jeremy Schaffer in the sixth.
Tulane left eight runners on base, including seven while Pomeranz was pitching.
If the Green Wave had any hope of beating Pomeranz, it needed to take advantage when presented with scoring chances.
Tulane failed to do that.
"We saw on the scouting report, you have to get to him early because a guy like him, once he gets settled in, he's real tough, " said Schaffer, who was 2-for-4. "We had a couple of situations early where we left runners in scoring position, and that ended up hurting us. If we get a couple of hits in that game, maybe get to the pen a little sooner — you never know what could have happened."
Tulane Coach Rick Jones was quite familiar with Pomeranz, having coached him on Team USA last summer. But even Jones said he was caught off-guard by Pomeranz's approach.
"The thing that he did tonight that I didn't see last summer - as good as he was for us last summer - was the breaking ball early in the count, the change early in the count, " Jones said. "He relied almost entirely on his fastball, especially early in the count. So he did pitch backwards some tonight."
The Rebels (8-1) extended their winning streak to eight games, and the Green Wave (5-4) has lost two in a row after winning its previous five.
Tulane was more opportunistic after Pomeranz left the game. In the seventh inning, the Green Wave loaded the bases with no outs and added three runs off reliever Brett Huber. Brennan Middleton scored on a fielder's choice by Rob Segedin, and Nick Boullosa scored on an infield single by Garrett Cannizaro.
Cannizaro, who didn't tag up on Robinson's near-grand slam, was thrown at first after the catch, but not before Segedin crossed the plate.
"The things that hurt you, and you just can't discount this, we just can't make mistakes on the bases, we can't miss the opportunity to get every out we can get, " Jones said.
Second baseman Alex Yarbrough was instrumental in building a 3-0 lead for Ole Miss. He hit a two-run single to right field in the second inning and then scored on a Ferguson single in the fourth.
Yarbrough finished 2-for-4.
Green Wave starter Conrad Flynn (1-2) pitched six innings, allowed three runs on eight hits. He struck out seven and walked two batters — a high number for a pitcher who gave seven walks in 87 innings last season.

GALVESTON, Texas -- Furthering the safety and health of chemical and refinery workers is the goal of a new alliance between the Houston area office of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Texas Chemical Council (TCC) Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Seminar Committee.
OSHA's alliances are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative partnerships with trade associations, labor organizations and employers. A formal signing ceremony was held today at the Moody Gardens Hotel and Conference Center in Galveston, as part of a three-day seminar led by industry experts. The seminar is focused on hazards unique to the chemical and refining industries.
"Through this alliance, OSHA and members of the TCC will use forums, roundtable discussions, meetings and conferences to examine workplace safety and health issues in the chemical and refining industry," said Chuck Williams, OSHA area director at the Houston South area office. "We are hopeful that cooperation between TCC and OSHA will help to eliminate fatalities in the chemical and refinery industry."
The Texas Chemical Council, comprised of 85 member companies, is a statewide trade association of chemical manufacturing facilities in Texas. Organized in 1953, TCC was the country's first trade association representing the chemical industry's common interests at the state level. The TCC and its member companies promote the health and safety of chemical industry employees and the public through training, risk assessment and hazard evaluation for the manufacturing, handling, transportation and disposal of chemical products.
Alliances enable organizations committed to workplace safety and health to collaborate with OSHA. They provide opportunities to build trust, exchange information about best practices, and leverage resources to maximize worker safety. For more information on this alliance or about forming an alliance or partnership with OSHA's Houston South area office, call (281) 286-0583.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has created more than 230 alliances with organizations committed to fostering safety and health in the workplace. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

Trello is now 500,000 strong
This month marks a momentous occasion in the life of any budding product: the halfway point to a million users. That's right: Trello has officially passed the 500,000 signups mark!
500,000 jelly beans weigh about 10 US tons. We're not sure how much 500,000 users weigh, but it must be a lot. We're so floored by all the people around the world who've chosen Trello to help them streamline workflows, communicate efficiently, and plan 500th anniversaries for their kingdoms. To all of you: thank you, thank you, thank you.
But we don't just want to say it, we want to show it. Do you remember this cute little guy from the very first time you poked around this new thing called Trello?
That's Taco. He's always been a little shy, but he agreed to make a special appearance to celebrate our coming-of-age.
So today, you might spot him hanging around the Trello site. He's even stepped up to personally deliver gifts to our first 500,000 users. If you're one of them, check out your Profile page. He hopes you like it and that you'll show all your friends.
In the future, Taco could visit again. Since huskies work in mysterious ways, we can't really say when. But we will mention that he loves meeting new people—something about all the hugs he gets. So the more folks you invite over to Trello, the more likely he might stop by…
We've also added an awesome new feature called Card Cover, which lets you put images on the front of cards. Imagine the possibilities!
If you have any questions, comments, or love letters to Taco, you know how to find us. Cheers!
P.S. To celebrate the 500,000th account Joel has written a blog post about kanban, backlogs, and shipping, complete with pictures of the real-life Taco!

Malone University ranks in nation's top ten for best financial aid - online degrees
May 2, 2014 | Release # 6912
Top Degrees Online released its evaluation of the top 25 universities offering the best financial aid for online bachelor's degrees, with Canton's Malone University ranking #9 nationally, and the only Ohio college or university to make the list. Malone's online bachelor's degree is also listed among U.S. News Best Online Bachelor's Programs and AffordableCollegesOnline (ACO)'s Best Lifetime Return on Investment list for the State of Ohio.
Malone University's online bachelor's degrees include:
- The Malone Management Program, an accelerated degree completion in management which offers majors in Organizational Management, Health Services Management, Marketing Management, Environmental Management, and coming this fall, Business Accounting Management.
- RN to BSN Hybrid degree - This program blends online learning with the traditional classroom environment spread over 14 months. This program is particularly appealing for students who desire the convenience of online learning while retaining the face-to-face learning experiences that build and strengthen professional relationships.
- Social Work Associate's to Bachelor's Degree Completion Program - also an online and in-classroom combination.
Malone incorporates the same acclaimed delivery system to its online master's degrees, including:
- MBA – master's in business administration
- MAOL – master of arts in organizational leadership
- MSN – master of science in nursing – now, as of Summer 2014, offered as a hybrid, blending online learning with the traditional classroom environment
ALSO coming this fall is a combined MMP in Organizational Management with the MAOL degree, leading to an even more accelerated route to a master's degree.
According to Top Degrees Online: Many of today's college students are seeking out online bachelor's degrees with the best institutional financial aid in order to begin the process of earning a college degree. Online colleges and universities offer a tremendous amount of flexibility for busy professionals, those who may have family commitments and those who live a considerable distance from a traditional campus-based program. Many distance learning institutions use a flexible format, where there are no daily deadlines, but instead, students must pace themselves to finish materials by a weekly, monthly or end-of-term due date. Institutional financial aid, in the form of institutional grants and scholarships, can drastically cut tuition-related costs. This type of aid has advantages over federal student loans because scholarships and grants offered by institutions do not need to be paid back, which helps make earning a degree far more affordable.
Ranking Methodology: The list includes the 25 top online bachelor's degrees that also have the highest percentage of students receiving institutional financial aid. In order to compile the list, the first step was looking at the top 100 institutions for online bachelor's degrees, as ranked by the US News and World Report. Then, for each school on the list, the percentage of students receiving institutional grants or scholarships was determined from the data at College Navigator. Out of 100 schools, four of them did not provide data regarding the percentage of students receiving institutional financial aid, so those schools were omitted from the final list. Finally, the list was sorted from the lowest percentage to the highest percentage, with the 25 institutions with the highest percentage of in-house financial aid being included on our list. Prior to selecting the top 25, the percentages of students receiving institutional financial aid ranged from 0% to 100%, with the average being 62%.
Click here to see the entire list.
Malone University, a Christian university for the arts, sciences, and professions in the liberal arts tradition, affiliated with the Evangelical Friends Church, awards both undergraduate and graduate degrees in more than 100 academic programs. Malone has been recognized by the prestigious Templeton Foundation as a leader in character development, as one of Northeast Ohio's Top Workplaces by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and is ranked among the top colleges and universities in the Midwest under the category Regional Universities according to U.S.News & World Report's America's Best Colleges 2014,has been awarded the designation Military Friendly School by Victory Media, and is named to AffordableCollegesOnline (ACO)'s Best Lifetime Return on Investment list for the State of Ohio.

Season 3- Sundays at 9pm/8c. t\'s three weeks into the winter season in Northern Alaska, and Carlile Transportation has only moved 500 of the 2,000 loads it needs to transport to the Prudhoe Bay oil fields.

What materials did you use? batiks, hand-dyed navy fabric from Suzanne C, paper, Sari yarns and rayon embroidery threads, fusible interfacing for Confetti fabric and fusible fleece for Stitch & Slash.
What are you most proud of? Making myself stop - I'm excited to have two projects; one to make a purse and the smaller "confetti" fabric I'll use to make a case for my paper-piecing tools. Suzanne gave each of her friends a piece of her hand-dyed navy fabric and we decided to use it in a Challenge. Since I lost so much of it when I placed it on the top of my Stitch & Slash sandwich, I was so happy Carol Ann gave us a second project to use up our scraps! So special.
Wow that is BEAUTIFUL!!
The couching with the Sari yarns make the project! It is beautiful! Also like what you did with the scraps! Can't wait to see what you will make with it!
great design and colors! love this and especially to see the confetti fabric right beside it.
Pam, what beautiful work you do. And I love the confetti. How did you use it? Sarah

Seed Production to focus on U.S. operations
SYDNEY — In a blow to the local biz, Hugh Jackman's shingle Seed Production ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine") has shuttered its Aussie office to focus on its U.S. operations.
"We are in a transitional period," a Seed spokesperson said in a statement. "In the meantime, we are operating from our Los Angeles office which is based on the Fox lot. We have several Australian projects in the works and will continue to play a major part in most of Australia's film festivals."
The Oz office, headed by Alana Free, was based at Sydney's Fox Studios. At its star-studded launch in 2006, Jackman said the aim of Seed was to "support Australian filmmakers, to stimulate the creative community and provide international opportunities for Australian artists."
It went some way to meeting its goal with its biggest outing, the "X-Men" prequel "Wolverine," largely shot in Sydney locations and using local talent. Jackman also bowed a sneak-peek reel of the actioner in Sydney as a thank you to the city in April, ahead of a global launch for the film.
Seed also produced TV fare, including cricketing skein "An Aussie Goes Barmy" for paybox Foxtel.
But, as Variety reported earlier this year, Jackman and his production company have a number of Stateside vehicles in the works including the "Wolverine" sequel, which will largely be set in Japan, Fox's "Personal Security" and "Drive."

The Academic Magnet boys soccer team won a thriller over Bishop England on Thursday night. The teams played to a 2-2 draw, but the Raptors opened the season with a victory, outscoring the Bishops, 7-6, on penalty kicks.
The match ran long, so Raptors coach Jason Hamil kept his postgame talk to his players brief.
"Two things," Hamil said. "No. 1, don't ever do this to me again. No. 2, this is my first win at Bishop England, so this was special."
The Raptors boys and girls, both ranked No. 1 in the state coaches' poll, played rival Bishop England and both versions of the Raptors came away with victories.
The Raptors boys, who won their first state title last spring, defeated 15-time state champion Bishop England on PKs. The Raptors girls defeated the Bishops for the eighth straight time, this time by a 3-2 margin
The penalty-kick shootout started out in the Bishops' favor as Drew Costa opened it with a goal. But 21 kicks later, the Raptors had the win when Buckley McCall got a shot past Ross Rogers.
"We're getting there," Hamil said when asked if his program has surpassed the Bishops. "We broke the ice last year and now we're trying to get to that level. We played them tough last year, and tonight was a great match."
The Raptors hadn't played a match in nearly three weeks because of bad weather.
"It's about managing your time and making sure the kids get enough practice," Hamil said.
"You worry about keeping sharp and that long layoff. When you keep practicing and practicing against your teammates, it gets frustrating. After all, they are teenagers."
The Raptors girls fell behind, 1-0, to the Bishops, but rallied for their fifth win in six matches. Kallie Peurifoy, The Post and Courier's player of the year last spring, scored two goals to lead the rally. Jesse Dolley scored the other goal.

Treasure Island, Fla. — Ron Paul's movement could become a victim of its own success, and other grassroots movements could suffer the consequences.
That's the fear that has Republican Party of Iowa chairman A.J. Spiker and other Iowa GOP leaders scrambling to organize opposition to rules changes up for a floor vote on Tuesday. Spiker is calling the proposals, advanced by a senior adviser to Mitt Romney's campaign, a "huge power grab" that could allow future presidential candidates to hand-pick delegates.
One of the rules Spiker and others were protesting would allow presidential candidates to reject delegates elected to national conventions by state party procedures. The rule, along with others presented, would prevent a candidate from being represented at convention by delegates who oppose his or her nomination.
But Spiker said he thinks such a rule would result in presidential candidates awarding delegate slots to wealthy donors, instead of allowing Iowans to reward those who have "worked their tails off" for their candidate. It could be a disincentive for Iowans sit through caucuses and conventions to elect delegates.
Concern about the change goes beyond Paul supporters and Tea Party members, he said. "You've got small-government conservatives, Goldwater types, Christian-right types and moderates all up in arms," he said. "It's bigger than just maybe some Ron Paul people from Iowa or some Santorum people who got to go."
Tamara Scott, the newly elected national committeewoman from Iowa, called it a short-sighted solution to a problem that will correct itself over time. "Most political parties are spending millions trying to draw in that next generation of voters, and this effectively shuts them out," she said.
Even U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, who attended a delegation breakfast on Monday, said the proposed rules were unnecessary. Regardless of who delegates might have supported when the nomination was in doubt, it typically ends up a unanimous ballot anyway, he said.
He said the proposal may be a reaction to what happened in this year's caucuses. Rick Santorum won the caucuses in January, followed closely by Romney. Paul came in third, but won most of the delegates. Iowa's process does not bind or apportion delegates based on the caucus vote. The Paul supporters proved to be more organized and committed to winning delegates in the caucuses and through the convention process.
"Is it that the Republican Party has to always be one hundred percent going in the same direction? That's not the definition of the Republican Party … diversity within a political party is just as legitimate as diversity between the two parties," Grassley said.
Spiker said it would take six states to support a minority report and force roll-call vote on the proposed rules. RNC member Steve Scheffler said he hopes the objectionable rule changes are withdrawn before it comes to that.
Both Spiker and Scheffler were careful to say that they support Romney, and that the rules conflict isn't about him. "I'm all on board with Mitt Romney," Scheffler said. But the public protests, including posts on Twitter last week and a blast e-mail from Spiker early Monday, are sandpaper to the shiny image of party unity that the Romney campaign wants to project.
Delegate Brent Oleson Linn County says he thinks Iowa delegates have been treated well in Tampa, but the proposed rules aren't welcoming. If such rules had been in place this year, "I wouldn't be here today, and that's sad, especially from an Iowans' perspective. I think it shows in Iowa, you can start a new conversation," he said.
It's possible this rules tempest could drain away just as quickly as the convention-related hurricane hysteria. I hope so. No presidential candidate wants to be at the mercy of grudging delegates, but it doesn't warrant undermining the party-building efforts that start at the Iowa caucuses. Instead of changing the rules, Romney and the party establishment should recognize it'll take a little extra effort to win the game.

Featured Golf News
Vera Brupt asks, Why do greens often have backing mounds?
Its somewhat ironic that Golden Age architects painstakingly fashioned approach areas in front of the green, when golfers used the running game. With aerial shots preferred and aesthetics more important, modern architects pay as much or more attention to the back of the green!
However, for good players, raising collar/rough edges with backing ridges to allow golfers to see the back of the green provides depth perception and definition and better shows green depth and pin location, which helps golfers plan their shot.
Backing mounds often stop lower-spin running shots of average players near the putting surface, while side mounds can direct marginally errant shots onto the green. In both cases, the containment these mounds provide keeps many recoveries shorter and easier, which speeds play.
Aesthetically, golf courses have controlled view points and sequences. Greens are the holes ultimate target, and should generally be the ultimate visual focus. On average sites, many greens need artificial enhancement of their setting and focus, and earthmoving is the simplest way to accomplish that, helping golfers to visually understand the hole. Where nature doesnt provide trees or natural upslopes as a visual end cap to the hole, backing mounds serve the same function. Additionally, mounds integrate interior green contours with outside contours to create a green complex, rather than a green sitting on a site.
Building greens into mounds somewhat replicates early seaside links courses, where greens often occupied valleys between towering dunes. Critics of modern design recall that A.W. Tillinghast called manmade strivings puny in comparison to what Mother Nature provides, and it is often so true! Certainly, large natural backdrops look great, while artificially high green backdrops are often created in open areas to compensate for the lack of natural features, or to serve very practical functions like visually screening unattractive areas, or creating safety buffers for adjacent holes.
Earthmoving can be truly artistic, and many find the enhanced landscape more attractive than uninspired natural contours in many cases. As the famous landscape architect Hideo Sasaki said, The earth is putty.
The task of the golf course architect is to create ridges and mounds that reasonably mimic natural contours and provide visual enhancement to the hole, and provide playing assistance to the golfer.
The appearance of having moved very little earth is often the result of moving enormous amounts of earth to match natures scale. Long ridges with a flowing top require more fill but look more natural than mounds that are too small, artificially cone- or dome- shaped, or tie abruptly to native contours.
Placing the long axis of the ridge perpendicular to golfers, provides the most effect while saving earthmoving. A narrow ridge will appear the same as one twice as deep, since golfers dont see the back side.
Ridges with 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-to-1 (33-17%) slopes are typical, but the last 20 feet should gradually flatten to 6-, 7- or 8-to-1 slope until blending naturally into existing topography, rather than have a steep slope that meets flat ground abruptly.
Generally, manmade ridges should mirror natural contour, being generally flatter on flat areas and steeper on steep areas. Keeping the high points near natural high points, and low points near valleys, and using maximum slopes that are not more than 2-3 times steeper than natural contour are good R.O.B.O.Ts to maintain a natural look. Overlapping ridge lines rather than ridges on a straight line are usually very attractive and naturalistic.
However, an occasional, extravagantly contoured green complex creates a distinctive green, especially if the previous or next greens are simply graded. I consciously vary the character by changing the heights, orientation, slope steepness, number and arrangements of green backdrop ridges, as the following sketches demonstrate.
Playability occasionally affects green backdrops, too. I generally favor higher backdrops on downwind holes and/or where green orientation is across the line of play, as there are more over-shoots there, and extra ridge height helps containment. Of course, certain design concepts like punchbowl or Redan greens require high backing ridges.
Overall, the ease of modern earthmoving has made golf course contouring one of our best design tools. While we often overdo it many feel the period of the 1980s was one of earthmoving excess, most golf course architects have returned to a moderate, yet sophisticated level of earthmoving that enhances golf for everyone since aesthetics is the one golf feature that everyone enjoys!

By default Microsoft Outlook is configured to block specific file attachments based on file extensions. This is useful in most scenarios to prevent the spread of email viruses and to keep your pc secure. However sometimes you may want to override this behaviour in order to open attachments from known sources which are otherwise inaccessible. For a list of blocked file extensions see here.
For some reason the standard edition of Microsoft Outlook does not allow users to configure or disable these security settings, though it is possible to control behaviour by tweaking the registry.
The .Net forms application included in this article is an example application built on the
Automation and Extensibility
framework, which allows the registry settings to be controlled via an Outlook add-in. This adds an additional
tab to the
Options menu of Outlook and allows security settings to be adjusted for custom behaviour.
The attachment security features within Microsoft Outlook are controlled via two string
registry keys,
Level1Add and
Level1Remove. These keys can be added at the
following location, and allow the default behaviour for blocking attachments to be overridden.
Note: 10.0 will vary depending on the version installed HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security
When added, each key represents a list of semi-colon separated file extensions to either block (Level1Add) or unblock (Level1Remove). Security can be further customised with further keys for level2 security settings, however this is beyond the scope of this article.
Outlook Unlocker
OutlookUnlocker add-in is installed by running the
Setup.exe. This
adds an
Attachment Unlocker tab to the
Options menu within Outlook, which
can be accessed via the tools menu. Enter extensions to be blocked or unblocked into the blocked/unblocked
lists accordingly. Do this by typing text into the relevant input box and pressing
Once the extension is added it can be moved to the blocked or unblock lists by highlighting the
item and using the
< and
> arrows. Items can be removed from blocked
and unblocked lists by highlighting an item and using the
X button. Extensions not listed
revert to the default Outlook behaviour for those extension types. You will need to restart Outlook
for changes to take effect.
How it works
The solution was built on top of the
Automation and Extensibility framework using
Visual Studio Shared Add-in project template for .Net. This creates an add-in template
project, as well an installation project for installing the add-in.
In brief the extensibility framework allows managed .Net assemblies to communicate with unmanaged
code via proxy (shim) objects. This allows IDE's such as Outlook to raise events which the add-ins can respond to
in order to integrate with the application; such as when they are loaded or unloaded. The interface
is commonly used for this purpose to hook into the application events.
Outlook Unlocker solution consists of a class named
Connect. This is the implementation of the
IDTExtensibility2 interface created by the project template. In order to hook an additional tab to the Options menu we
must register for the
OptionsPagesAdd event as follows during the
OnConnection event:
// On connection register for the OptionsPagesAdd event public void OnConnection(object application, Extensibility.ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst, ref System.Array custom) { Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application applicationObject = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application)application; applicationObject.OptionsPagesAdd += new ApplicationEvents_11_OptionsPagesAddEventHandler(applicationObject_OptionsPagesAdd); } // When the OptionsPagesAdd is fired, add the custom property page private void applicationObject_OptionsPagesAdd(PropertyPages Pages) { Pages.Add(new Unlocker(), "Attachment Unlocker"); }
When the
OptionsPagesAdd event is fired, the custom usercontrol named Unlocker is added to the
Pages collection. The control implements an interface derived from a reference to the
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook assembly, which allows the control to act as a tab within the
Options menu of Outlook.
With the custom control added, the implementation of the
Unlocker usercontrol uses standard .Net behaviour to
interact with the user and perform read/write functionality on the registry; thus controlling the security behaviour.
