Impact of a Braille-Note on Writing: Evaluating the Process, Quality, and Attitudes of Three Students Who Are Visually Impaired

Educators of students with visual impairments have long advocated that children who read and write in braille benefit from access to and use of a braille note-taker (BNT) with refreshable braille display. However, little research exists that evaluates whether using a BNT impacts literacy. In this single-subject study, authors investigated if using a Perkins Braille Writer (PBW) versus a BNT would affect students' engagement during the writing process, the quality of their writing samples, and their attitudes toward writing. Participants were three middle school students who used braille as their primary literacy medium and who participated in a BNT intervention. Students were video recorded writing on either the PBW or BNT. Videotapes were later analyzed for the length of time each student engaged in writing and the frequency with which they reflected and corrected text. As compared to using a PBW, students wrote for longer periods of time using a BNT. A visual analysis of data showed that during writing, participants reflected and corrected more often when using the BNT as compared with the PBW. Writing samples were evaluated using a seven-trait writing rubric. All participants improved in writing on at least five of seven traits when using the BNT, as compared with using the PBW. Finally, interviews with students showed that their overall attitudes toward writing did not change even though their attitudes toward technology were positive.

After playing three games in four days, fatigue may have played a factor in the Carroll County boys' soccer team's performance on Tuesday Sept. 14. The home team (8-3-2) lost to Walton-Verona 2-0, snapping a seven-game winning streak and the opportunity to win the conference championship outright. The Panthers still have the opportunity to be named co-champions with Walton-Verona and
The 2010 Carroll County Senior Event held Thursday evening was again a big success as senior citizens from Carroll and surrounding counties came out to enjoy "Pioneers at the Point."

Leading up to their contest Friday night, Walton-Verona held an edge over visiting Carroll County even before they stepped on to the football field: the emotional edge. Friday was the first game under the new lights at the Bearcats' home field, and they had had two weeks to prepare for the Panthers, who were still recovering from their loss the previous week to Kentucky Country Day. Despi
Editor: It's hard to believe it has been almost a year since the little town of English experienced a very unique event: the first-time ever English School reunion.

What advice would you give someone starting this project? The yarn recommended ,Vanna's, is not a soft yarn.I would try to look for something more baby soft. I did knit the tops in the round.I did like that better than having a seam all the up the back.I also added the "face" before sewing up the back.You need the room to weave in the ends etc.
You did a great job! I love your picture. Thanks for sharing.

The stage was set nicely for the Carolina Panthers to come out and "steal" one from a Super Bowl favorite, the Seattle Seahawks. With much of Seattle's defense nicked up, the pieces looked to be falling into place for a Carolina victory—this was not to be the case.
Issues such as undisciplined penalties, an offense that could not put up points and an exhausted defense in the fourth quarter led to yet another season-opening loss for the Panthers. It was another game that "woulda, shoulda, coulda" been a win for the Ron Rivera regime.
Even in the loss, Panthers fans can find a few beacons of hope and, as always with losing, a few pariahs to lay the blame upon.
Here are some of examples of both from Carolina's 12-7 Week 1 loss.

|Prevention of Pathogen Transmission from Animal Manure to Food, Water, and Environment
Objective: 1. Identify the ecological and environmental factors, as well as critical points, that affect pathogen occurrence, survival, fate, and transport in cattle and swine production facilities, manure, and surrounding environments.
Objective 2. Develop and evaluate intervention strategies that reduce or eliminate the occurrence, persistence, or movement of foodborne pathogens among food animals, their environment, and potential surrounding production environments.
|More Info:
Approach: The overall goal of this project is to reduce the risk of human foodborne illness, by providing scientific information that can be used to reduce or eliminate the transmission of zoonotic pathogens from animal manure to food, water, and the environment. Primary targets of the work include pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli (including non-O157 Shiga-toxigenic E. coli), Salmonella spp., and Campylobacter spp. in cattle and swine. Approaches for reducing these pathogens include the reduction of pathogen colonization and shedding by livestock, as well as the reduction of pathogens shed and present in the manure and production environment. Exploitable factors, including biological, environmental, and managerial factors, which affect the occurrence, survival, or transmission of pathogens in cattle and/or swine manure will be identified, then manipulated and evaluated to determine the impact on pathogens. Strategies and interventions to reduce the dissemination of foodborne pathogens in cattle and swine manure or production environments will be developed and evaluated. Approaches will include the use of dietary amendments, manure additives, and waste management systems, as well as other intervention strategies that may be suggested by information gathered in experiments. Approaches that are both effective at reducing foodborne pathogens and environmentally safe under animal production practices will be identified. Expected outcomes are scientific information and procedures that will be used to reduce or eliminate zoonotic foodborne pathogens both in livestock and their manure, thus contributing to a safer food and water supply and a lower risk of human foodborne illness.

MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan - The Alabama National Guard's 167th Infantry Battalion's own physician's assistant, Capt. D.R. McNew, recently got the rare treat of watching how the Afghan National Army trains those in his own field.
On a recent visit to Camp Mike Spann, Capt. McNew traveled over to the adjoining ANA's Camp Shaheen to watch as a team of U.S. Air Force medical mentors trained Afghan soldiers in providing medical care.
There were several things about this visit that were eye-opening for Capt. McNew. The first was the trainers themselves. One of them in particular stood out.
"One of the Air Force doctors is a female. All of the Afghan doctors and faculty are men," McNew noted on his personal blog. "She mentors them and meets with them as equals. This is very interesting because of the culture."
An Afghan culture outside the walls of Camp Shaheen that has yet to accept women as equals but within, the ANA medical staff wants to learn about the best way to deliver care, regardless of who is teaching it. Moreover, only one of the ANA PA students is female.
Another pleasant surprise for McNew was the medical facility itself.
"The hospital was actually a lot nicer than I expected," he wrote in his blog. "(An Afghan official) showed me the emergency room, the operating room, the ward, the dining facility, and the new children/women wing of the hospital. The old general only allowed men to be treated, but the new general of the hospital has built a new wing onto the one-story hospital to treat women and children."
Again, attitudes outside Camp Shaheen may seem outdated, but the approach and facilities within are anything but.
"The surgery suite looked very modern," McNew said, adding that the hospital seemed well equipped.
McNew's "guardian angel" security team included a soldier from Task Force Centurion Prime's "Fourth Alabama," whose Easy (Echo Co.) helps secure mentors and trainers in the area.
It looks like the hospital and teaching facility at Camp Shaheen is yet another micro example of progress that sometimes gets lost when we look at the macro of Afghanistan. I'm glad our own "doc" got to see this side of Afghanistan and that he helped me bring it to you.

With ever rising copper prices, it is all to ease to spend far too much on long "over-sized" electrical cable runs – essential to compensate for the inherent voltage drop.
Bedford, England May 20, 2008 – Ashley Edison has just announced the availability of its new range of indoor (IP20) and outdoor (IP54) AC Volt Drop Constant Voltage Compensators, specifically designed for electrical installations where large volt drops, across long cable runs, are all too often an inherent and expensive problem to solve. By installing an Ashley Edison Compensator these costly voltage drops are now able to 'compensated' for, by boosting up voltage and keeping it constant, and as a result ensuring substantial savings on site electrical power cabling costs.
Installations with long cable runs have an inherent problem of developing high voltage drops across their cables", said Alan Dover, Sales Director of Ashley Edison UK. "To overcome this in the past it has been necessary to select and use larger sized electrical cables in order to reduce such voltage drops to an acceptable level. In recent years copper prices have risen significantly and under IEE compliant situations the choice of power cable size can now have a really significant impact on project installation costs. Utilizing an Ashley-Edison Voltage Drop Compensator is a really compelling alternative as its unique design eliminates the need to "over-size" power cables and in today's increasing price conscious electrical installation market delivers sizeable project cost savings".
With Single and Three Phase versions available in rating up to 1,000 kVA, models are offered for both indoor (IP20) and outdoor (IP54) use. Where required additional load protection features, such as Surge Suppression and Lightening Arresting, are available to help protect loads from potential problems.

WASHINGTON -- Imagine a low-cost treatment for a life-threatening infection that could cure up to 90 percent of patients with minimal side effects, often in a few days.
It may sound like a miracle drug, but this cutting-edge treatment is profoundly simple -- though somewhat icky: take the stool of healthy patients to cure those with hard-to-treat intestinal infections. A small but growing number of physicians have begun using these so-called fecal transplants to treat Clostridium difficile, commonly referred to as C-diff, a bacterial infection that causes nausea, cramping and diarrhea. The germ afflicts a half-million Americans annually and kills about 15,000 of them.
The Food and Drug Administration has decided to regulate the treatment as an experimental drug.

China Train Crash Spurs Safety Fears
Subway Collision Injures 260 and Is Latest in String of Accidents to Mar Country's Rapid Railway Expansion Efforts
SHANGHAI—Chinese authorities blamed a signal breakdown for a subway collision in Shanghai that injured about 260 people and fueled new fears about safety amid a boom in railway construction, following a deadly high-speed rail crash around two months ago.
Scenes at the Station
China Real Time Report
The Shanghai government said about 20 people were seriously injured in Tuesday's accident, which occurred when one subway train ran into the back of another at a low speed near a downtown tourist district. No fatalities were immediately reported.
The government-owned operator of the relatively new line, Shanghai Shentong Metro Group Co., said signals had malfunctioned less than an hour before the accident, and that trains were running on a slower timetable because drivers had to rely on visual cues and telephones to plot their course on the tracks.
The subway accident prompted a flurry of online messages that compared it with the far worse collision on July 23 of two high-speed trains on an above-ground, intercity line. In that accident, one train rammed the back of another near the city of Wenzhou, sending carriages plunging off a viaduct, killing 40 people and injuring more than 190 others.
The incidents involved different types of railway built with equipment from a variety of suppliers. But, according to company statements, they had one component supplier in common: Casco Signal Ltd., a Shanghai joint venture of France's Alstom SA and Beijing-based China Railway Signal & Communication Corp., or CRSC.
A Casco spokeswoman said in an email Tuesday that initial signs pointed to a wider power outage rather than a signal failure as the cause of Shanghai's incident, but said investigations continue. Alstom and Casco in separate statements Tuesday rejected association with the Wenzhou accident, reiterating their equipment was "not the root cause" of the July crash. A CRSC subsidiary unrelated to Alstom had earlier said it would accept its responsibility in the Wenzhou crash. Alstom referred questions about Tuesday's crash to Casco.
The Wenzhou accident severely dented the image China's leadership has sought to project of its high-speed rail system as technologically superior to others in the world. Investigators initially cited faults with signaling in the Wenzhou accident, saying a full report would be issued this month. Last week, the state-run Xinhua news agency said the team investigating the accident had postponed indefinitely the release of the report, citing the complexity of the issue.
Since January, when Beijing celebrated a record-breaking speed of 487.3 kilometers per hour (302.1 miles per hour) for one of its bullet trains, its railway sector has faced numerous setbacks: a scandal that toppled senior leadership of the Ministry of Railways and glitches such as electrical outages on the ballyhooed Beijing-Shanghai line. For many analysts, the Wenzhou accident suggested Beijing compromised safety in the quick expansion of its high-speed railway system, now the world's biggest.
China has been no less ambitious expanding its rail system underground.
Li Guoyong, deputy director of transportation at the National Development Reform Commission, last year said that 33 Chinese cities planned subways and that construction nationwide between 2010 and 2015 would cost 1.16 trillion yuan, or about $180 billion. "It only takes us 10 years to finish a task that developed countries have spent more than 100 years on," Mr. Li was quoted telling China Youth Daily, a major government newspaper.
Since Shanghai's first subway opened in 1995, it has built one of the world's largest underground systems, with 11 lines, 273 stations and 425 kilometers of rail that carry more than five million people daily.
Line 10, where Tuesday's accident occurred, began service last year, just weeks before Shanghai started a six-month World's Fair. The line features sleek trains with televisions and purple interiors, but was built so quickly that even today one transfer involves going above ground and crossing a street.
Tuesday's apparent signal breakdown was at least the second on Line 10 in the two months since the Wenzhou accident. On July 28, a Line 10 train moved to an incorrect branch of track and went a short distance the wrong direction, the government says. Authorities haven't provided an explanation for that incident.
The Alstom website says Casco supplied signaling equipment for Line 10, noting that it was designed to be China's largest driverless subway line. Casco was blamed directly by Shanghai's government for a 2009 accident on another subway line, where trains collided at 60 kilometers an hour. Alstom and Casco have declined to comment on the government's accusation in that incident.
Deadly Past
Some notable China accidents
- July 23, 2011—Two high-speed trains derailed in crash near the city of Wenzhou, killing 40 and injuring 190.
- Nov. 15, 2010—A fire sparked during the renovation of a 28-story building in Shanghai killed 58 people and injured dozens.
- Feb. 9, 2009—A blaze started by New Year's fireworks and fed by substandard insulation materials destroyed a 44-story tower of state broadcaster China Central Television in Beijing. A firefighter was killed.
Tuesday's accident happened about 2:50 p.m. in a tunnel between stations near the city's touristy Yu Gardens area. Around 40 minutes earlier, according to a Shanghai Metro statement, equipment failed in a nearby station that required trains passing through the next three stations toward the riverfront Bund to switch to manual operations and run at slower speeds. The statement said drivers had to communicate by phone.
After the crash, sirens were heard throughout the city as ambulances raced to the scene. Television footage showed bloodied, bruised and dazed passengers being treated by firemen and rescuers. Rail equipment was shown bent and broken, with a cab of one of the cars pressed into a sharp bend. Local reports said at least 20 people were seriously injured.
Shanghai Communist Party Secretary Yu Zhengsheng, whose government has faced a barrage of local criticism for a high-rise fire last year that killed 58 people, was shown on television Tuesday evening crowded into a briefing room and whispering in the ear of an injured man in a hospital bed.

Random thoughts while in line to pick up all the pills Widdle and I take to stay on the good side of the grass:
If you cant sit down, swallow or breathe after you zip your jeans, please perform a public service and wear a larger size.
The pharmacist has already counted your pills. Unless youve had the kind of experience that culminated in a courtroom, you probably dont need to re-count them at the counter. Twice.
You know what youve heard about the facial use of Preparation H? Its true, its cheap and it works.
Even if I won the lottery, I wouldnt pay $35 for a jar of wrinkle cream smaller than my dogs snout. (See Preparation H comment, above.)
Mr. President, please stop smoking. Would lung cancer be covered under your proposed health plan?
Until I turned 45, my daily meds were vitamins. Then the hormonal tornado hit town. Now I need pills to sleep, and to keep from growing a mustache.
You dont need false teeth to appreciate Poligrip. That is some awesome spackle, so keep a tube around the house.
Thirty years ago there was a popular Geritol commercial in which a handsome man beamed at a lovely woman and said, My wife I think Ill keep her. If that ran in this era, the TV network and Geritol would both be boycotted by angry feminists*. And yet
On any channel today, children awake after 9 p.m. can watch commercials for pills that will jump-start the lagging male libido. See husband nuzzle wifes neck! See wife drag him into a beachfront cabana!
Speaking of such commercials, one day Ill reach my limit and just shoot the TV. What the heck did middle-aged men do back in Grandpas day?
I realize you or someone you care about is sick or you wouldnt be waiting for a prescription, but I cant ignore your screaming 3-year-old any longer. Carry him outside or stuff an Ace bandage in his mouth.
To the man who told the pharmacy cashier, I can buy this online for half price!: That doesnt make you sound worldly or intelligent. At all.
Last month I was in line behind a plump woman of about 45 who reeked of cigarette smoke. Her prescription? Birth control pills. (I know this because she announced it rather loudly.) Either her doctor could not smell, see or hear, or--after all these years of warnings--theyve suddenly developed a new pill that wont cause strokes and heart attacks in obese smokers over 40. And
My best friend, Floozy, tried three different formulas of the pill 25 years ago. One made her homicidal, one made her lie in the driveway and sob and one made her devour everything in the house, including a package of frozen fatback (and a spoonful of what may have been wallpaper paste.)
If only they made pills to prevent snoring, so I dont keep Widdle awake. Last week I tried those new nostril plugs. At 3 a.m. I awoke shrieking from a nightmare about being smothered. Widdle said he prefers the snoring.
* I qualify as a feminist, but Im not angry. Much.

§ 1 (4) states that an employee is "every person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written." Exceptions include but are not limited to:Seamen engaged in interstate/foreign commerce;
Salesmen of real estate or consumer goods who work on a commission, or buy/sell basis, other than in a retail establishment, (with a written contract stating they are not treated as an employee under federal tax law);
Taxi drivers who lease their cabs on a fee basis not related to fares collected (and who are not treated as an employee under federal tax law);
Persons engaged in interstate/foreign commerce who are covered by federal law for compensation for injury or death.
2. How does the Department Of Industrial Accidents (DIA) classify an independent contractor and must they be covered under a workers compensation policy?
Questions regarding independent contract coverage will be answered by one of our attorney's. Please contact our Legal Unit at 617-727-4900, x 7423 to speak with an attorney.
3. How is "subcontractor" defined? Is there a simple rule of thumb for deciding who is a subcontractor?
No, questions about subcontractors should be addressed to the Office of Legal Counsel in Boston, 617-727-4900, x 7423. These questions are very fact-based, and generally are determined by whether control over the manner and methods of the work is retained by the employer.
4. I worked as a subcontractor, and had money deducted for workers' compensation coverage by the general contractor; can they do that?
Yes, but only if it is provided for in the contract they have with you, or otherwise explicitly provided. General contractors have legitimate concerns about whether you have WC insurance since they can be found liable for claims against them by a subcontractor or their employees. Therefore, you may find that the general contractor requires you to provide proof of coverage, or that you agree to come under their workers' comp policy with such costs passed on to you.
5. As a homeowner can I be held liable if a contractor working in my home is injured on the job?
Under some circumstances, yes.
6. What are the penalties for an employer who does not have workers' compensation insurance?
Employers operating without insurance are subject to civil fines and/or criminal penalties, including imprisonment, and are subject to a STOP WORK order issued to their business. Under MGL c. 152, § 25C, civil fines can be up to $ 250 a day, and criminal penalties include a fine of up to $ 1500, imprisonment for not more than a (1) year, or both. Additionally, a recent change to this section states, "(10) In addition to being subject to the civil penalties herein provided, an employer who fails to provide for insurance or self insurance as required by this chapter or knowingly misclassify employees, to avoid higher premium rates, will be immediately debarred from bidding or participating in any state or municipal funded contracts for a period of three (3) years and shall when applicable be subject to penalties provided for in (MGL c. 152) § fourteen (14)".
7. As an employer, what is my responsibility in reporting injuries?
If you know of an injury to one of your employees, or an employee alleges an injury to you, that has resulted in five (5) full or partial calendar days of disability, you must file an Employer's First Report of Injury Or Fatality Form - Form 101. You are required to file this form with the DIA and your insurer within seven (7) calendar days, not including Sundays and legal holidays, from the fifth day of disability. You should also give a copy to the injured employee. If the employee reports the injury to you after he or she has already been disabled for five (5) or more days, you would have to file the Employer's First Report of Injury Or Fatality Form - Form 101 within seven (7) calendar days, not including Sundays and legal holidays, of the day the injury was actually reported to you. If the injury results in just medical bills, or fewer than five (5) full or partial calendar days of disability, you would report it just to your insurer, on whatever form they have for this purpose.
8. Where do I get the First Report of Injury or Fatality - Form 101 I need to file?
As of January 1, 2014, the First Report of Injury or Fatality - Form 101 can only be filed electronically. You must sign up for an account in order to obtain a login and password to file the form 101. To request a log-in and password. Information on the process, and the form to, can also be found on our website under our Online Services module.
9. Can I file First Report of Injury or Fatality - Form 101 electronically?
Yes; As of January 14, 2014, you can only file the Form 101 electronically. Information on the process, and the form to request a log-in and password, can be found on our website under our Online Services module.
10. If I file the First Report of Injury or Fatality - Form 101 electronically will I get a confirmation that the filing was accepted?
When your electronic filing is received you will get a Transmittal ID number to keep for your records. After the DIA Claims Office reviews the form and approves it, you will receive another e-mail message with the DIA Board Number.
11. Do I have to pay an injured worker for the entire day if they have to leave work due to an accident?
No; the only requirement under state law is that employers need to pay workers for the hours he/she actually worked. However, if the employer does pay the worker for just the hours worked, then the day the worker was injured would be considered the first calendar day of disability. If the employer pays the worker for the entire day, or shift, then the next day would be considered the first day of disability.
12. An employee of mine was injured on the job and then quit; do I need to file an Employer's First Report of Injury Or Fatality - Form 101, and if so, how do I determine the first and fifth lost days?
Yes, if the injury would have resulted in five (5) or more full or partial calendar days of disability, you would need to report this accident. The first missed day would be the first day the employee could not earn full wages due to the injury, and the fifth lost day is the fifth calendar day of disability.
13. I am starting a business and need workers' compensation insurance. What do I do?
You can get insurance through any insurance agent or broker who handles business insurance or through a direct writer of insurance. For more information, call the Workers' Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau , 617-439-9030.
14. What should I be paying for insurance?
Call the Insurance Rating Bureau, 617-439-9030. If you feel your rates are too high, you can appeal to the Board of Appeals within the Massachusetts Division of Insurance, 617-521-7777.
15. I am the owner of a very small business, with only a few employees. Do I need workers' compensation insurance?
All employers in Massachusetts are required by state law to carry workers' compensation insurance covering their employees, including themselves if they are an employee of their company. This requirement applies regardless of the number of hours worked in any given week, except that domestic service employees must work a minimum of 16 hours per week in order to require coverage.
16. I own a small business. The only person working with me is my wife (or son, or brother). Do I need workers compensation insurance?
Yes, family members must be covered by workers' compensation insurance, even if they are the only employees of the company.
17. I am a corporate officer, the sole owner of the corporation. I have two employees working for me; I know I need workers' compensation insurance for my employees, but do I have to cover myself?
No; on July 25, 2002, a change in the workers' compensation law went into effect which allowed corporate officers who own at least 25 % of the corporation to exempt themselves from WC coverage. Such corporate officers can file the Affidavit of Exemption for Certain Corporate Officers (Form 153) with the DIA to exempt themselves. This change does not affect the requirement that all employers cover their employees with Workers Compensation insurance.
18. I'm self-employed, the sole proprietor of my company which is not incorporated; do I need to get workers' compensation insurance for myself?
As the sole proprietor of an unincorporated business the law does not require you to insure yourself. However, under a recent change to the law, sole proprietors and partnerships (that have no employees) can now obtain insurance if they so choose. If you do work for a general contractor they may want you purchase a policy in order to work on a particular job they are overseeing.
19. I am the owner of a business outside of Massachusetts and have been hired to do some work in Mass., do I need to get a Massachusetts Policy for workers' comp?
Out of State employers are required to cover all their employees, who are working in Massachusetts, with workers' compensation benefits under Massachusetts law. You do not need to buy a policy strictly for Massachusetts if in your existing workers' comp policy Massachusetts coverage is listed in Section 3.A of the policy's Information Page.
If Massachusetts is specifically listed in Section 3.C of the Information Page, the policy is acceptable only if the Insurer (Insurance Carrier) verifies the coverage in Massachusetts. The Insurer must forward a statement verifying workers' compensation coverage in Massachusetts to the Office of Investigations. If the Insurer fails to meet this requirement, a Stop Work Order is immediately issued.
Furthermore, any notation in Section 3.C of the policy's information page that "all states are covered" or "all states are covered except those listed in Item 3.A and the States of: ND OH WA WY" or something similar is acceptable only upon verification of workers' compensation coverage in Massachusetts by the insurer. The insurer must forward a statement verifying workers' compensation coverage in Massachusetts to the Office of Investigations. If the insurer fails to meet this requirement, a Stop Work Order shall be issued immediately.
20. I am an employer, and I have a question about the experience modification for my business.
Call the Insurance Rating Bureau, 617-439-9030.
21. I am an employer; who can answer a question about the assessment on my workers' compensation insurance?
Call the DIA Assessments Office at 617-626-5484.
22. How long after one of my employees has been injured on the job does the insurance company have to respond?
The insurance company has 14 calendar days from the date they receive the Employer's First Report of Injury or Fatality - Form 101 to mail a check and the Insurer's Notification of Payment - Form 103 to the employee; or if they intend to contest the claim, to send a certified letter denying compensation via an Insurer's Notification of Denial - Form 104.
23. I need to replace an employee who is injured and is collecting workers' compensation; do I have to hold the job open for the employee?
Unless a union contract, or the individual's contract of hire, requires it, an employer does not have to hold an injured worker's job open while they are unable to work due to an occupational accident. MGL c. 152 § 75A does require employers to give preferential treatment in the rehiring of injured workers when they are ready to return to work. MGL c. 152 § 75B requires that employers make all reasonable accommodations to anyone who is deemed to be a qualified handicapped person under MGL c. 151B.
24. What must employers do to make sure that employees are aware of insurance coverage and/or other related information?
All employers must post a Notice To Employees Posters on a bulletin board in a suitable public area on their premises. The notice, which is available at all DIA offices and on our website, must be completed in its entirety indicating the name of the insurance carrier, the address, policy number, and a contact person to whom injuries or incidents should be reported. This is all public information, and must be readily available to any person who needs it. Failure to provide the information to the employee is a violation of the law, and the employer is subject to a fine. There is also an optional space on the notice to list a designated healthcare provider for initial treatment following an injury.
25. As an employer, what rights do I have during the claim process?
It is your right as the employer to attend the Conciliation, Conference and/or Hearing proceedings; however you may not participate unless you are called as a witness. For this purpose, all employers are encouraged to maintain well documented records of all accidents and reports including names of witnesses. If you have any pertinent information relating to any claims, you should inform the insurer. While the insurer is the legally interested party during the claims process, the employer will receive notice of Conciliation, Hearing, Lump Sum Conference or any proceeding involving employer misconduct (MGL c. 152, § 28). You are required to attend only the § 28 Willful Misconduct proceedings.
26. If one of my employees uses my facilities to do some purely personal work, would he still be able to claim WC benefits if he was injured?
If what they were involved in was purely personal, then they probably would not be able to claim benefits under your WC policy. But if it was held that use of your facilities was part of their compensation for their employment, it could be held that the injury was incidental to employment and thus covered by workers' compensation.
27. I know someone who may be defrauding an insurance company, what do I do?
If it is an employer who does not have worker's comp insurance, call our hotline,1-877-MASSAFE (877-627-7233) x 7313; if it is an injured worker defrauding an insurer, you should contact the insurer directly, and notify the Insurance Fraud Bureau, at 1-800-32-FRAUD, or 617-439-0439.
28. I am concerned about how safe our workspaces are. Is there a state agency that can help me make sure my business is safe for our employees?
The Department of Labor Standards (DLS) offers a free consultation service designed to help employers recognize and control potential safety and health hazards at their workplace, improve their safety and health program, assist in training employees, and possibly qualify for a one-year exemption from routine OSHA inspections. This service, which is jointly funded by the DLS and the US Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), is primarily targeted for smaller businesses (less than 250 employees per establishment or 500 employees nationwide) in high hazard industries; such as manufacturing, healthcare, and construction. It is a confidential service in which your firm's name, and any other information you provide and any unsafe or unhealthy working conditions found, will not be reported routinely to the OSHA inspection staff.
29. I have a question about qualified loss management; who can I talk to?
Contact the MA Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau, 617-439-9030.
30. I need an OSHA Log 300; how do I get one?
Call OSHA in Boston, 617-565-9860.

In her academic pursuits, Melissa Meade, has studied communication, learned a second language and examined how the brain processes language.
As a result, she had a pretty good idea why she lost the ability to speak after a series of strokes in 2007 at just 30 years old.
In spite of the brain trauma she suffered, Meade is now working toward her doctoral degree in media and communication from the Temple University School of Media and Communication.
The irony of the endeavor isn't lost on her.
"They experience of losing all ability to communicate brings a very humbling aspect to the idea of communication and the science behind it," she says.
Meade had already been accepted into the Ph.D. program at the time of her strokes. But with months of therapy ahead of her, coupled with the death of her father, she chose to defer entry by a year. As those 12 months wound down, she decided to jump into the program, rather than lose her status as an admitted student.
"It was a very intense time of health and emotional [strife]. It didn't seem like a good time for a Ph.D.," she says. "I don't know when there is a good time for it, but certainly, that seemed about the worst."
In the years since, Meade, a first-generation college student from Frackville, Pa., has flourished at SMC.
She has progressed to Ph.D. candidacy and is now focused on her dissertation, which uses ethnographic methods and media analysis to examine the relationship between deindustrialization, ethnic relations and conflict in her native Anthracite Coal Region.
The new normal
Obtaining the highest degree in one's field is no small feat and the obstacles Meade faces in her education are making her achievements that much more impressive.
While her ability to speak is nearly as good as it was prior to the strokes, she still makes hundreds of adjustments each day to her old routine. Meade sits at the front of the classroom to better understand her instructors. Note-taking has become harder, in that her handwriting, once clear, has become difficult to read. She still faces comprehension issues with numbers and spelling.
"You would be surprised how many times a day people spell things to you," she says.
One of the more mysterious effects of the strokes showed its face the first time Meade went to the pharmacist to fill a prescription. When it came time to pay, she realized that she understood what money was, but didn't recognize it. She had to relearn what each denomination looks like and how to count it.
Academic achievement
Meade firmly believes that all of her struggles have made her a better teacher.
"When I have students who have documented disabilities, I understand they may need the extra time, or need to be in a space that doesn't have as many distractions," she says.
And it hasn't slowed down her academic success. Meade boasts a 3.95 GPA and has published one paper, with two more on the way. She has traveled the world to present at communication's top academic conferences.
"Melissa is a stellar theoretician," says Nancy Morris, her dissertation advisor and a professor of media studies and production. "She is incredibly good at probing deeply and applying theory in creative and innovative ways."
This fall, Meade received a scholarship from the Mayor's Commission on People with Disabilities. At the award ceremony, Meade was impressed with the diversity among the winners, since it showed all different faces of disability.
"Like any category, there's nothing really unifying at its core unless we make it that way," she says.
Meade generally doesn't bring her disability to the forefront, but hopes to integrate it in her future teaching and research. A fluent Spanish speaker, she hopes to write a paper ("in all of my spare time," she jokes) on how the bilingual brain reacts to and recovers from speech aphasia. She has already integrated disability studies into her classes. In several courses she taught, she discussed whether disabled television characters should be played by actors without disabilities and she asked students to critically evaluate representations of disability in media.
"I've found it challenging to communicate the realities of my disability to colleagues and professors without making my disability too publicly central to my daily life and aspirations," she says. "This balancing act is one that I continue to calibrate as I progress in my career."

FLINT, MI – Fans exited the Steve Schmidt Gymnasium early on Wednesday.
They didn't have to stay for the entire contest to know the outcome of Mott Community College's latest men's basketball game.
MCC improved to 4-0 overall after a 85-55 blowout victory
over Jackson CC.
The Bears ended the first half on a 30-8 run and led by as many as 34 points in the second half. Mott connected on 51.6 percent of its shots as a team.
"We got a lot of good effort from a lot of good guys and that's what's going to make this what I feel could be a very good team," Bears coach Steve Schmidt said. "I'm real pleased with the effort from a lot of guys. Not just a couple guys, a lot of guys."
Freshman center Coreontae DeBerry finished as Mott's leading scorer with 18 points and seven rebounds. Fred Mattison scored 17 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, Flint native Kortez Ross tallied 11 points and Chavis Mattison added 10 points and six rebounds.
"What I really liked is that we started off a little bit out of sync and got down by 8 and then just did a great job defensively," Schmidt said. "And I'm really pleased with the progress that this team's making because we just shut them down and anything that they tried to do and it all started with our defense."
Mott will host Lansing on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m.

Home Grown World Christians
I've been in Orlando for The Gospel Coalition 2013. I led a breakout session in the pre-conference, which had a missions focus.
My session was "My Missionary Call: Missed or Misunderstood?"
One of the resources I recommended is an article I wrote in 2002: Home Grown World Christians. Since then, our children have become adults, but the encouragements and ideas haven't really aged.
I hope this will be helpful as you pray for and spend time with children you love, whether they are yours or part of your larger life circle.
What other suggestions would you add?
3 Responses to "Home Grown World Christians"
I truly loved that article that you referenced and imagine that your session at the conference was just as wonderful. Going to definitely print it out…have lots of grandchildren who will benefit from these ideas! (Including three-and three more on the way-international adopted grandchildren!)
Thanks so much, Noel!
Really enjoyed the article, Noel. Especially as a mama of (soon to total 4) internationally adopted kiddos and a "world Christian" myself. Is a recording of your breakout session from TGC available someplace?
Blessings, Hillary
Thank you! I was at your breakout session & was hoping you would post this.

With a 1-0 victory Saturday morning over defending PIAA Class AAA state soccer champion Conestoga, the Great Valley boys' soccer team sent a message throughout the Ches-Mont League, as well as the rest of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
The game-winner was scored with almost six minutes remaining after a free kick from Patrick Murphy was blocked. Jake Miller, running near the post, found the ball that bounced off a defender's head and slotted it into the back of the net.
Patriots coach Dave Moffett knew what his squad was up against Saturday, but it was a challenge his guys were looking forward to, especially after close games against Conestoga the last two seasons.

I'm not a fan of Madonna. But so many of my gay friends are I've had to accept her as part of the family.
And when I read this story it really moved me.
Because it's such a sad story. And because it reminded of my friend Michel who also loved Madonna.
And also died of AIDS.
I can never hear Madonna without thinking of him. One of the last things he ever asked me for...as he lay there in his hospital bed...was if I could make him a tape of one of her albums. He was so poor by then he couldn't afford to buy one. That's what those straight bastards did to him.
So for Michel, Ricky, and all those other gay men who died in a bigoted world. And all the men, women and children who continue to suffer and die tormented by prejudice and ignorance.
I think I'll play this song tonight...
If you ever wondered why I hate bigots and cowards so much.
Now you know.
Happy Birthday Material Girl...
P.S. The foul Cons are still embarrassing us.
How long can the shame go on?

Choco, I see what you are saying. And yes I have given all food groups a fair shake.
I don't believe I am too far gone, due to the improvements I have already seen.
I am not an idiot. If something is not making me feel good any more , I will change it.
While I am able to live a normal life (compared to before), I will continue.

While the Volunteer Apocalypse pokes fun at the zombie genre seen on television and in the movies, the mission here is simple and leaders at United Way say it's so important.
"On this day we see masses of people going out to these non-profits and giving back," said Julie Petree with the United Way. "It's taking over northwest Arkansas."
Volunteers could spend the day working outdoors or delivering meals to people in need.
There is still time to get involved with nonprofits in need of help.

But now, amid tabloid scrutiny over his changing appearance, the former Olympian (with his altered appearance) is standing front and center.
Jenner, 64, has been open about undergoing plastic surgery in the past, beginning with a partial face-lift and nose job in the mid-'80s, a "botched" procedure that took a toll on the athlete's self-esteem.
"If you Google my name, the worst plastic surgeries of all time or whatever it is … they've compared me to Michael Jackson," he said on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
In 2009, Jenner went under the knife for a second time to correct the first operation. The process, featured on an episode of the show, garnered the support of the entire Kardashian clan.
And a satisfied Bruce joked of his new appearance in a 2009 episode: "It doesn't hurt to be mistaken for Brody once in a while. Do you think I'll get carded?"
Despite his family's approval, Jenner faced plenty of media scrutiny for his changing appearance, even feuding with Jimmy Fallon over the talk-show host's harsh jokes about his transformation.
Now, four months after his split from wife Kris, Jenner is sporting a new look, one that's raising eyebrows once again. The dad of 10 (including his four stepchildren) has been growing his hair long, manicuring his nails, and, most controversially, he has allegedly undergone a tracheal shave, flattening his Adam's apple.
Sources close to Jenner categorically deny that he is making any sort of efforts to transition into a woman, despite breathless tabloid claims, and say the reality star is simply happily experimenting with a fresh look. "He has this, 'I may be an old man, but I'm cool and young too' syndrome and no one can tell him otherwise," says a source close to the family.
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Toby Mayer, who has not treated Jenner, says that excessive physical change can be a symptom of body dysmorphic disorder, a condition in which a person has an unrealistic view of his or her own appearance.
Says Mayer: "When people have an unusual preoccupation with the way they look, they will never be satisfied. They will always find some flaw on their face that they think [fixing] will restore perfection."
Counters the family source: "Bruce thinks he looks great. He doesn't listen to the criticism."

|Check-in before
We had a really nice stay at this apartment. The situation was perfect at Ipanema, close to the beach and restaurants and felt really safe. 24h open secuirty every day. The apatment didn´t have WiFi but internet cabel so keep in mind to bring a computer if you´re in need of internet. Of course the place looked better on the pictures than in reality but it was clean. Quite noisy due to large busy street outside the bedrooms. Overall everything worked out really well!
This appartement is really nice, it has a great location in a area with a lot og restaurants and bars, but without noise during the night. It is really cozy and has a really nice patio with room to dine. The host, richard, is really nice and helpfull. We will definetely recommend this appartement:)
Excelente zona envolvente (imensas zonas verdes, praias a uns minutos de carro), a Old Village é acolhedora, a casa confortável e tranquila.
Excellent surroundings (lot's of green areas, the beach is a few minutes away by car), the Old Village is welcoming and cozy, the house is comfortable and peaceful.
Very nice apartment situated near villamoura in a conglomerate of beatiful houses with 3 swimming pool! Excellent!
Good position for go to beach, And for Explore the coast, in 45 minutes by car you can go to portimao, pranha And tres hormao...amazing place!!!
Richard very gentleman
We enjoyed our stay in Richard´s loft. The appartment was perfect and a good starting place for visiting Lissabon, because the appartment is in the middle of the town. The loft was well furnished and clean. We can recommend this loft.
Jos and Ineke, The Netherlands
The property was fantastic, with beautiful decor and furniture. There was plenty of space for 3-4 people, and the bedrooms were particularly comfortable! It was lovely to sit outside on the terrace to enjoy breakfast in the mornings.
Richard was a great host and helpfully explained everything we needed to know about our stay. There are some great restaurants just a 5 minute walk away, and the number 28 tram stops just down the road, which takes you into the main centre of Lisbon in a few minutes.
Ficamos acomodados 3 dias e quase não usufruímos a cozinha, mas achamos o apartamento muito simpático, simples e funcional. Muito limpo.
Corresponde às fotos na sua totalidade.
Local muito central, mas a rua é muito calma, não tivemos problemas com barulho. 5 minutos de Metro e do Largo do Carmo. Aconselho vivamente.
O proprietário é respeitoso e gentil. Obrigada, Richard.
De certeza que voltaria para este local.
Petit appartement au 3 ème étage d'un immeuble typique, dans un quartier charmant et très vivant.
Beaucoup de restaurants à proximité.
Ha Richard lo conocimos cuando nos íbamos y me parecido una persona muy agradable y servicial.
El dúplex es muy bonito y cumple con todos los requisitos que índica. El único fallo fue que el WiFi a cierta hora (siemore a la misma) se desconectaba o no funcionaba, por lo demás todo perfecto.
Muy contento con Richard, flexible en las horas de entrada y salida y todo facilidades.
El piso perfecto tanto en localización como en calidad del mismo
- 住宿品质保证
- 屋主通过电话验证

The monograph of 104 pages contains the results of the author's studies on the protein and mineral metabolism of infants during fever. In the first twenty-five pages, he reviews the meager literature. Following Naunyn, the older observers ascribe the rise in protein metabolism occurring in fever to a toxic destruction of protoplasm. In accord with Krehl, more recent observers attribute it to a disturbance of central nervous origin. Animal experiments have demonstrated the existence of regulating centers in the brain which control the total metabolism (body temperature) and also the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate (the latter being known since the time of Claude Bernard). The author cites the rather unconvincing evidence for this conception, and concludes that the mechanism controlling protein metabolism is as follows: A parasympathetic center located in the midbrain retards the metabolism of protein. This center corresponds to that portion of the heat regulating center

Academic Programs Overview
The Department of Speech & Hearing Sciences (SPHSC) provides undergraduates and post-baccalaureate students with the basic science and clinical background that they will need to pursue graduate studies in this field. At the graduate level, we educate clinical speech-language pathologists and audiologists in evidence-based approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders, and train future researchers and instructors who will carry on this critical work.
Our faculty plays a national, leadership role in research and education. We carry out research into the fundamental aspects of communication, as well as the causes and treatment of disorders such as childhood speech sound disorders, aphasia, stuttering, voice disorders, and hearing loss. Research experience is a central component of all of our educational programs.
The UW Speech and Hearing Clinic is a clinical training facility for our students that provides an important service to our community. We have developed strong ties to local clinicians who collaborate with us in clinical training and use us a resource for information and continuing education.

Taste WA April 7th – the food?
My food experience at Taste Washington at Qwest Field Events Center in Seattle yesterday was a little disappointing – oh well. It didn't completely dismay me as I did go for the wine and the people, but I honestly expected better food from some of those big names like El Gaucho and Waterfront Seafood Grill, which by the way, pared hugely overpowered garlic Prawns with Corn Grits! Unfortunately, there were more prawns in the garbage cans than empty plates. I did enjoy the Smoked Salmon Chowder from Cutter's Bayhouse: slurped it up and washed it down with a nice Riesling from Dunham Cellars, who happened to be at the next table.
A few highlights:
I actually went for a second-helping of the Lemongrass Chicken Satay on a Crispy Wonton being served by The Triple Door and The Barking Frog had an interesting idea: Boar in a Pod with a little tangy sesame sauce. They were like little Boar corn dogs on a tooth pick – very clever! Predictably, Elliott's Oyster House had beautiful fresh Oysters and a lovely Shell Fish Seuiche. A popular destination for all the wine enthusiasts.
I will close by saying that my ideal food to pair with so many wines at these events has to be cheese in all forms with some sort of cracker. One of the crowning jewels yesterday was for me to see Peterson Cheese from Auburn WA, as it's always comforting to grab a lovely piece of their many cheese selections to clear your palate from all that wine tasting – Or be adventurous enough to sample some wonderful stinky cheese to really shake things up.
Ciao a Presto! – Traci

$59 Table Pad Call: 1 (800) 325-4643
Manufacturers of Custom Dining Room Table Pads
America's Oldest and Largest Table Pad Company
Sentry makes protective table pads for dining room tables. Our custom table pads are 1/2 inch thick and feature our Aluminum Heat Shield. Sentry guarantees that your dining table pads will fit perfectly and we back up this guarantee with Sentry's Lifetime Warranty. We are the oldest and largest custom table pad company and we are a 4th generation family business started in 1911.
Aluminum Heat Shield
All of Sentry's table pads contain our Aluminum Heat Shield.
Pivot Locks
Sentry's patented Pivot Locks lock your table pad and leaf pad sections together with a positive locking action. In contrast, magnets do not actually lock the sections together, they merely "hold" them in proximity and the sections can be easily pulled apart.
Guaranteed Fit
Sentry guarantees the fit of your table pads. In the unlikely even of a fit issue, we will remake your table pads at absolutely no charge.
Lifetime Warranty
Sentry's Limited Lifetime Warranty guarantees your table pads.
Your Dining Room Table Needs Protection.
A dining table pad is the best way to protect your table. You appreciate the beauty and value of your table, but kids, pets and even friends and relatives often do not. Kids see the perfect arts and crafts station, pets can climb up on your table - and at some point, a dinner guest will inevitably tip over a wine glass. A table pad will protect your table from these accidents.
There are many ways that your table's fine finish can be damaged, some of which can be most unexpected.
Excessive heat from serving dishes and hot liquids can discolor your table's finish, as can hot candle wax dripping from a centerpiece. Exposure to direct sunlight overtime can fade and discolor your table's finish.
Water and alcohol can stain and damage your table. Condensation from cold drinks can leave a permanent water mark, alcohol spills can lift your finish and red wine can leave a colorful stain.
Scratches, nicks and dents can happen at a moment's notice. Children doing homework or projects can scratch your table with their books, pens, and craft supplies. Cats and dogs may climb up and do irreversible damage to your table with their curious claws.
Dropped dishes, china and glassware can scratch and dent your table. Your dining room table is a long-lasting, beautiful piece of furniture. Give it the protection it needs with a custom made table pad from Sentry.
Custom Made Table Pads
Custom table pads are manufactured to fit the top flat surface of your table. Industry standards allow for a 1/8 inch variance between the table pad and the table's flat top surface.
Many tables have beveled or sloping edges. It is important to note that table pads are designed to be table top pads that cover only the flat top surface of a table and they should not extend over the beveled or sloping edges.
Table Pad Construction
Standard construction is for two pieces - one piece for each half of the table. Each extension leaf is also a separate table pad piece. Therefore, a table with two leaf extensions is manufactured in four table pad pieces - two pieces for the table itself and one piece for each leaf extension. This allows you to use your table when you use your table only - without leaf extensions - and when you use one or two leaf extensions. The Pivot Lock feature locks your table pad sections together - again in whatever combinations of table and extension leaf that you utilize. Each table pad piece folds in half. The top faces of the table pad fold against each other for storage.
Table Shapes
The shape of your table determines how to order your table pads. For round measure the diameter of your table top. For square measure the size. For rectangular measure the both the width and the length. For rectangular with round corners you can use the "Radius Corner Template" found under the "Measuring Tab". For oval a pattern tracing of one half of your table top is needed. Odd shaped tables also need a pattern tracing. No matter what your table shape, you can always order by your table manufacturer's name and table number.
Extra-Large Tables
Extra-large tables are Oval and Rectangular tables that are over 54 inches wide and/or over 80 inches long. Round or Square tables over 54 by 54 inches are also extra-large tables. For these tables the table pad itself is made in four pieces instead of the normal two pieces. (Table leaf extensions are still made in one piece for each extension.) Oversize charges are required for extra-large tables. Please refer to the price page. Call us for a quotation for tables over 120 inches long or over 80 inches round.
UPS Delivery Times
We ship by United Parcel Service Ground. Table pads are a heavy product that makes it prohibitively expensive to ship by air service. Estimated UPS Delivery Times in business days for metropolitan areas are as follows: Atlanta (3), Baltimore (3), Boston (4), Charlotte (3), Chicago (2), Cleveland (3), Columbus (3), Dallas (2), Denver (2), Des Moines (2), Detroit (3), Houston (2), Kansas City (2), Las Vegas (4), Los Angeles (4), Madison (3), Miami (3), Milwaukee (2), Minneapolis and St. Paul (3), Nashville (2), New York (4), New Jersey (4), New Orleans (2), Oklahoma City (2), Omaha (2), Philadelphia (4), Phoenix (3), Pittsburgh (3), Portland, ME (4), Portland, OR (4), Salt Lake City (3), San Diego (4), San Francisco (5), San Jose (5), Seattle (4), St. Louis (2), Tampa (3), Washington DC (3).
