For many recreational activities, wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of a severe head injury and even save your life.
During a typical fall or collision, much of the impact energy is absorbed by the helmet, rather than your head and brain.
No. No helmet design has been proven to prevent concussions. The materials that are used in most of today's helmets are engineered to absorb the high impact energies that can produce skull fractures and severe brain injuries. However, these materials have not been proven to counteract the energies believed to cause concussions. Beware of claims that a particular helmet can reduce or prevent concussions.
To protect against concussion injury, play smart. Learn the signs and symptoms of a concussion so that after a fall or collision, you can recognize the symptoms, get proper treatment, and prevent additional injury. See http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/ for more information.
No. There are different helmets for different activities. Each type of helmet is made to protect your head from the kind of impacts that typically are associated with a particular activity or sport. Be sure to wear a helmet that is appropriate for the particular activity you're involved in. (See the table in this pamphlet for guidance.) Helmets designed for other activities may not protect your head as effectively.
There are safety standards for most types of helmets. Bicycle and motorcycle helmets must comply with mandatory federal safety standards. Helmets for many other recreational activities are subject to voluntary safety standards. The standards for each type of helmet are shown in the table in this pamphlet.
Helmets that meet the requirements of a mandatory or voluntary safety standard are designed and tested to protect the user from receiving a skull fracture or severe brain injury while wearing the helmet. For example, all bicycle helmets manufactured after 1999 must meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) bicycle helmet standard (16 C.F.R. part 1203); helmets meeting this standard provide protection against skull fractures and severe brain injuries when the helmet is used properly.
The protection that the appropriate helmet can provide is dependent upon achieving a proper fit and wearing it correctly; for many activities, chin straps are specified in the standard, and they are essential for the helmet to function properly. For example, the bicycle standard requires that chin straps be strong enough to keep the helmet on the head and in the proper position during a fall or collision.
Helmets that meet a particular standard will contain a special label or marking that indicates compliance with that standard (usually found on the liner inside of the helmet, on the exterior surface, or attached to the chin strap). Don't rely solely on the helmet's name or appearance, or claims made on the packaging, to determine whether the helmet meets the appropriate requirements for your activity. See the table in this pamphlet for more information on what standards to look for on the label or marking.
Don't choose style over safety. When choosing a helmet, avoid helmets that contain nonessential elements that protrude from the helmet (e.g., horns, Mohawks)—these may look interesting, but they may prevent the helmet's smooth surface from sliding after a fall, which could lead to injury.
Don't add anything to the helmet, such as stickers, coverings, or other attachments that aren't provided with the helmet, as such items can negatively affect the helmet's performance.
Avoid novelty and toy helmets that are made only to look like the real thing; such helmets are not made to comply with any standard and can be expected to offer little or no protection.
Yes, but only a few. For example, you can wear a CPSC-compliant bicycle helmet while bicycling, recreational in-line skating or roller skating, or riding a kick scooter. Look at the table in this pamphlet for other activities that may share a common helmet.
Yes. Children should not wear a helmet when playing on playgrounds or climbing trees. If a child wears a helmet during these activities, the helmet's chin strap can get caught on the equipment or tree branches and pose a risk of strangulation. The helmet may also prevent a child's head from moving through an opening that the body can fit through, and entrap the child by his/her head.
A helmet should be both comfortable and snug. Be sure that the helmet is worn so that it is level on your head—not tilted back on the top of your head or pulled too low over your forehead. Once on your head, the helmet should not move in any direction, back-to-front or side-to-side. For helmets with a chin strap, be sure the chin strap is securely fastened so that the helmet doesn't move or fall off during a fall or collision.
If you buy a helmet for a child, bring the child with you so that the helmet can be tested for a good fit. Carefully examine the helmet and the accompanying instructions and safety literature.
Depending on the type of helmet, you may have to apply the foam padding that comes with the helmet, adjust the straps, adjust the air bladders, or make other adjustments specified by the manufacturer. If these adjustments do not work, consult with the store where you bought the helmet or with the helmet manufacturer. Do not add extra padding or parts, or make any adjustments that are not specifically outlined in the manufacturer's instructions. Do not wear a helmet that does not fit correctly.
That depends on the severity of the impact and whether the helmet was designed to withstand one impact (a single-impact helmet) or more than one impact (a multiple-impact helmet). For example, bicycle helmets are designed to protect against the impact from just a single fall, such as a bicyclist's fall onto the pavement. The foam material in the helmet will crush to absorb the impact energy during a fall or collision. The materials will not protect you again from an additional impact. Even if there are no visible signs of damage to the helmet, you must replace it after such an event.
Other helmets are designed to protect against multiple impacts. Two examples are football and ice hockey helmets. These helmets are designed to withstand multiple impacts of the type associated with the respective activities. However, you may still have to replace the helmet after one severe impact if the helmet has visible signs of damage, such as a cracked shell or permanent dent in the shell or liner. Consult the manufacturer's instructions or certification stickers on the helmet for guidance on when the helmet should be replaced.
Follow the guidance provided by the manufacturer. In the absence of such guidance, it may be prudent to replace your helmet within 5–10 years of purchase, a decision that can be based, at least in part, on how much the helmet was used, how it was cared for, and where it was stored. Cracks in the shell or liner, a loose shell, marks on the liner, fading of the shell, evidence of crushed foam in the liner, worn straps, and missing pads or other parts, are all reasons to replace a helmet. Regular replacement may minimize any reduced effectiveness that could result from degradation of materials over time, and allow you to take advantage of recent advances in helmet protection.
Look at the information in columns 1−3 of the table to the left, and follow these easy steps:
Find the activity of interest in the first column (1).
Read across the row to find the appropriate helmet type for that activity listed in the second column (2).
Once you've found the right helmet, look for a label or other marking stating that the helmet complies with an applicable standard listed in the third column (3).

After numerous failed attempts, troubled memory maker Qimonda, which faces liquidation, seems to have found a potential investment. The office of Saxony, Germany, prime minister this week issued report that the Russian Federation's government agreed to consider investment into Qimonda.
A spokesperson for Stanislaw Tillich, prime minister of Saxony, said that the Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin ordered Viktor Khristenko, minister of industry and trade, to consider potential investments into Qimonda after meeting Mr. Tillich in Moscow, Russia, early this week.
In early April Russia-based semiconductor manufacturers Angstrem, Sitronics and AFK Sistema, denied any interest in the troubled memory maker, which is quite understandable as those manufacturers are focused on creation of custom semiconductors for various local projects, not mass production of dynamic random access memory.
Qimonda expressed self-restrained optimism in regards of potential investments from Russia.

#36 Thinking everyone speaks Korean
11 comments:

My mom always wants to get philosophical in the car. My husband (not Korean) will usually be driving, me in the passenger seat and my mom will poke her permy-haired head forward to impart some long-winded nugget of abstract wisdom - in hangulmal. I reminder her the husband does not speak Korean, and she just dismisses me with a wave of her hand and says (still in Korean) - oh, he understands. He understands.
My husband just smiles and nods. He knows what's good for him.

My korean mil and fil do this to me. I'm not korean, they will speak korean to me and then get irritated and make some nasty comment that I'm hopeless. I know, because my DH hears it and translates it to me. I basically just give him a dirty look. My parents don't pull that crap on him (they are taiwanese), they speak to my DH in english, so I find it really rude that mil and fil think that I should just, "know" korean for their sakes. {eye roll} They seem to think it is very disrespectful of me not to learn korean... yet at the same time their english for ppl who have lived in a midwestern town for over 30 yrs is worse than most new immigrants. So, who is being the unreasonable one? If I were in korea, yes I would learn korean for sure. Right now, I only know some phrases and the names of foods.
Whenever we see mil and fil they basically only speak korean. They will laugh about something, carry on long conversations, all which I am not a part of, and then and my mil will be like, "don't you think that's funny?" I am like WTF? They know I don't know korean, but continue to be rude about it. My mil will even talk about me in korean right in front of my face! I complained to my DH about this, because my parents speak english around my DH, so he does not feel left out. He told me that it's, "too hard" for his parents to speak english to me. I often have thought about having my parents only speak taiwanese when my DH comes over and asking him how he feels about being totally alienated from all family conversations.

This post reminded me of my grandma. She was bored at home, so my mom brought her to work with her (my parents own several dress stores).. And my grandmother started getting mad 'cause this one young girl was trying on 2302390235 dresses. So, my halmae goes up to her and started yelling at her in Korean. LOL :D I love my grandma<3

My halmaunee once got a Septa bus driver to drop her off in FRONT OF HER HOUSE speaking nothing but Korean and using hand gestures.
That's mighty powerful, dude.

Now that story about getting dropped off in front of the house - HILARIOUS! My mom will start in Engrish and then morph into Korean to a white person thinking that they will understand. She also asks me to translate something to the white person in English when she speaks English to begin with... Confusing, I know!
Love always,
- October 10, 2008 at 3:52 AM
I used to beg my Mommy to teach me Korean. She bought one exercise book and left me alone with it. My Mommy always wanted me to speak "Perfect Englishu" not Korean. It was annoying having cousins that were bilingual and all you could do is get the gist of what was being said. Now that I am an adult Oma gets angry at me for knowing English better than Korean!
I've had irregular Korean classes but all of these Korean women are the same. If they repeat themselves enough, you should understand; if you dont, "you stupid, you know how for eating better!"

When I was in Korea a very considerate taxi driver was kind enough to give me a tour of the city... in Korean. I say 'Sorry.' I say 'I don't speak Korean.' I shrug my shoulders helplessly. None of this deters him. He keeps talking on, rapid-fire, occasionally pointing out random buildings and smiling at me as if to say, 'Isn't that impressive?'.
... maybe he just wanted someone to talk to?

I am a white guy who has lived in Korea for like 3 years now. A few months ago I was at a bus stop and some university students wanted to talk to me. (I am a few years older, blond hair). The guy is speaking to me in Korean, and I am replying in Korean (and he's understanding me), but he keeps telling one of the girls to translate for me since "white guys can't understand Korean."
All of this conversation is happening in Korean but the guy can't figure out that we are using the same language.

Hi I enjoy your blog very much :D,
I am from germany but look Korean (because biologically I am ) and this year I visited Seoul. I don' t speak Korean what brought us in very funny situations. This post reminded me of being in a restaurant with a waitress who totally matched the women you are describing. She tried to speak with me ... I answered in English ... she just shook her head ... laughed with her friend (hopefully not at me) ... and then tried again ... like I learned it in the last 5 minutes :D
Greetings Daniel

Pretty sure that's Mrs. Lee. And I'm pretty sure I had her. Where'd you get the picture?

Holy crap, I thought it was my mom in that picture!

June 26, 2013 —
By proclamation of its elected leaders on June 20, July was officially proclaimed as Ice Cream Month in Wayne County.
While this may sound frivolous to some, in Wayne County it is economic recognition of an important industry. Wayne County is home to some 65 active dairy farms, which produce some 92 million pounds of milk annually, which in turn brings in approximately $20.3 million of income each year—and that is not frivolous money.
So, when the county commissioners presented their proclamation to Dairy Maid Brea Rutledge, it was one of those times public officials relish, when important business can be recognized in a lighter vein.
Commissioners' chair Brian Smith, himself a dairy farmer, appeared to especially enjoy the festivities, suggesting a "food fight" might ensue following the meeting, when the celebration moved outside to Central Park.
There, numerous gallons of vanilla ice cream were employed in a sundae-making contest between the commissioners and the Dairy Maid. A noon-time crowd awaiting the free ice cream voiced their choice of Rutledge's efforts, and a good time was had by all.
The proclamation, which also named June as Dairy Month, noted "the importance of the dairy industry in Wayne County to both our local economy and its contribution to our families and to our local rural way of life."
In more routine and less fattening business at the meeting, the commissioners also approved their recommendations for distribution of $194,693 in annual, federal Community Development Block Grants. Nine projects were named for Paupack ($20,000), Berlin ($10,000), South Canaan ($14,650), Clinton ($35,000) townships, Waymart ($15,000) and Hawley ($15,000) boroughs, Pleasant Mount Community Center ($20,000), the Wayne County Historical Society ($15,000), and $50,000 for the commissioners' recommended footbridge, connecting Court Street and Riverside Drive.
They also accepted $50,000 in state supplemental funding for long-scheduled repairs of the county-owned Cummings Bridge, near Equinunk.
They also approved Ordinance 2013-6-20 to establish a Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) on 190.7 acres in Sterling Township. The Wayne Economic Development Corp. (WEDCO)-sponsored plan also requires the approval of the township, the Western Wayne School District, and finally the state Department of Community and Economic Development. Smith said the park was needed to compete for new business development, noting that there are 27 industrial parks in surrounding counties, but none in Wayne.
They also endorsed a block grant application for an anticipated $2.2 million in state funding of various county welfare services, following a presentation by county human services director Andrea Whyte. Whyte said the county has a very unique culture that allows those services to work together without competition. "It's close knit. All want the best for one another," she said.

'Supernatural' Season 8 Premiere Review: The Dog Days Are Over
As much as I love dishing out juicy spoilers for my favorite television shows, I actively avoid them for "Supernatural" premieres and finales. So I went into last night's season opener not entirely sure of what to expect, especially since the show—now in its eighth season—has a new showrunner in former writer and producer, Jeremy Carver.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that in Carver's hands, this paranormal drama, like the Impala, is slicker, sharper and burdened with history, but there are still some issues under the hood.
"We Need To Talk About Kevin" began with a new, post-Purgatory Dean Winchester. He was bloodied, haggard and violent around the edges after tumbling out of a ball of bright light and terrifying some local campers. After hitch-hiking to the countryside, we discover that Dean isn't reuniting with Sammy just yet and that he hadn't been sprung from the afterlife's waiting room to burn a specific set of bones, but to give birth to a vampire who saved his fine, bowlegged hiney in Purgatory. Thankfully, we were spared the Bella Swan-style monster labor as the vampire's soul/essence/aura was buried deep into his arm. If it was disconcerting to watch Dean essentially perform the opposite of sending a supernatural baddie to the great beyond, it was downright nauseating to find him engaged in (im)mortal combat in Purgatory as the flashbacks revealed. At least the beheadings were cool! The stint had strengthened Dean's inner warrior (and apparently destroyed Castiel), but left Dean struggling with real world banalities. Vending machine goodies are a few coins and keystrokes away. Kids can run around the parking lot "killing" each other with toy guns. People can go to college without fear of being eviscerated by a ghoul or drained by a vampire. It'll be interesting to watch Dean re-adjust to civilian life, especially when it seems that he'll be forever dragged deeper into the murk by his mysterious partner-in-crime, Benny (played by a charismatically evil Ty Olsson). But don't worry, Dean girls, he's still in there as this adorable exchange between Sam and Dean proved: "It's a burger." "It's a treasure."
While Dean's backstory was entertainingly ominous, Sam's was confoundingly flimsy. There was no explanation as to how he escaped Dick Roman's leaderless leviathan and demon-infested headquarters or how he prevented the tainted high fructose corn syrup from rendering humans into mindless monster food. Believing that his brother to be dead, Sam stopped hunting and aimlessly drove until he hit a dog. Flashbacks find Sam staggering into an animal hospital, positively frazzled at the thought of killing a stray animal, which felt a little strange after watching him slaughter poessessed humans without batting an eye. He, of course, falls for the raven-haired veterinarian, even though the two actors have as much chemistry as Kim Kardashian has self-respect. Sam explained that he didn't abandon the family business, but instead "found something I never had all my life" with Amelia.
I don't blame Sam for retiring from the never-ending sacrifice of hunting, but I couldn't swallow how flippant and unaffected Sam seemed to be by it. Jared Padalecki normally digs into the emotional scenes with the same oversized aggression that his fictional doppelganger attacks a grave, but his performance was uncharacteristically detached and shallow as if even he wasn't buying it. I think and hope there's far more to his story, and the shadowed figure looming outside of his home hints that there is.

Officials say students have returned to their rooms in a Mount Mercy University apartment building that was treated for bedbugs.
The Gazette reports that the Cedar Rapids building was treated on Tuesday.
University spokeswoman Jennifer Jentz says bedbugs haven't been a past problem at the Lower Campus Apartments.
Jentz says a student reported bedbugs to the residence life office on Monday. She says an exterminator confirmed bedbugs in that one apartment, but all four apartments in the building were treated as a precaution.
The residents were moved to other housing during the treatment. She says there will be a follow-up inspection of the building in two weeks.

Final beam raised for Seidman Center
Posted on February 22, 2012
Construction is progressing on Grand Valley State University's L. William Seidman Center on Front Avenue in downtown Grand Rapids. Pioneer Construction raised the final beam February 21 to complete the steel erection for the Seidman Center project.
Before the beam was raised, Grand Valley students, faculty and staff from the Seidman College of Business had an opportunity to sign the beam. President Thomas J. Haas, Seidman College of Business Dean H. James Williams and Seidman Campaign Co-Chair David Frey also signed the beam.
The new Seidman Center will support the Seidman College of Business' growing reputation as the premier business school in the Midwest. It will also house the Small Business and Technology Development Center, a federal/state/Grand Valley-sponsored program that creates and sustains jobs across Michigan.
The building will be Grand Valley's 16th LEED-certified building; it will open for classes in the fall of 2013.

The White House on Friday announced the third departure of a high-level aide to first lady Michelle Obama.
Camille Johnston, Obama's director of communications, "will be leaving the White House for a position in the private sector," an official White House statement said, without saying where she was going.
An official Siemens Corp. statement described Johnston's new position as its vice president, corporate affairs, effective Sept. 7:
"In this position, she will be a member of the U.S. leadership team and will be responsible for developing, leading and implementing a comprehensive and integrated media plan for Siemens Corporation," which it says is moving its U.S. headquaters to D.C. from New York City.
The White House statement included this praise:
" 'Camille has become a trusted advisor to me and to the entire East Wing,' said First Lady Michelle Obama. 'From our first day in the White House when we opened the doors and greeted visitors, she has led a communications team that has developed creative and effective strategies for the Let's Move! campaign, our work on behalf of military families, arts and cultural events in the White House and our international agenda. Her dedication, calming presence and expertise have been invaluable. She will be missed, but we wish her all the best.' "
The White House statement also quotes Johnston:
' 'Being invited by Mrs. Obama to be a part of her East Wing team was a privilege for which I am incredibly grateful. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the First Lady and the President and to be a part of this historic Administration.' "
Johnston previously served as communications director to Tipper Gore and was senior vice president of communications for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The earlier East Wing departures included Michelle Obama's first chief of staff, Jackie Norris, who left in June 2009 with little explanation, and her first social secretary, Desiree Rogers, who departed earlier this year after a couple crashed a White House party.
What is Siemens? The Germany-based company describes itself this way: "Siemens Corporation is a U.S. subsidiary of Siemens AG, a global powerhouse in electronics and electrical engineering, operating in the industry, energy and healthcare sectors. For more than 160 years, Siemens has built a reputation for leading-edge innovation and the quality of its products, services and solutions. With 405,000 employees in 190 countries, Siemens reported worldwide revenue of $104.3 billion in fiscal 2009."

This is Dolan's master plan (and obviously people like Melo, Woodson, and others, would support and believe in it, too). It is what it is, we are what we are, and this season will essentially be a referendum on everything.
Am I optimistic? No. Open minded? Yes. And I'll try not to rag on anything too hard till the season is underway.
But Amare isn't getting dealt, certainly not to make room for Lin. We wanted to let other teams bid for Lin first before making a move, and we now appear to not want to match what was offered. That's that.
Prigioni > Felton
'nuff said.
This was a really stupid move. At this point, I heavily question Felton's desire to win and get better. Hell, I honestly believe that we are overpaying the guy - he's coming off a year where he shot 40% and was like 40 pounds overweight, the fact that we're giving him a 3-year deal is absolutely idiotic.
So.....Someone with the resources, if you could please enlighten me on something.
Having added Felton for approximately $3.3M per season, if we did re-sign Lin at poison pill prices, would the tax penalty increment, or would it stay the same as it would have by just re-signing Lin alone?
I ask because Houston apparently are so desperate for a PG, they had Felton next on their list of Lin fell through.
Am I optimistic? I can't say I am. Do I still believe we would be far better off with D'antoni, and either not having traded for Melo, and still having Walsh, too; or trading Melo when we could have just prior to D'ant leaving? I won't front, I do.
But I am open-minded, however pessimistic I may be right now. I support and want a good, winning team -- if we have that, I will gladly extol its virtues and eat any necessary crow. And I will try not to rag too hard on anything until the season begins, and the reality of *all* these moves comes into play, once and for all.
I'm legit amiss though at Lin being mutinous? I thought NYK brass was proactive and clear in wanting the open market to set a salary for him, and we would then react off that (and presumably match most anything).
I thought we'd have matched Houston's offer almost immediately, myself. Odd bit of behavior. It remains unsolved, this little phishy mystery we've got here.
We'll see what eventuates..........
What have you got your money on?
To hazard I guess....keeping in mind the *major* powermoves made on behalf of Melo (the deal itself, the ensuing decisions made to, and around, both Walsh and D'antoni), and that James Dolan, after a temporary nap under Walsh, has been re-awakened, and that his ego is the one thing he values more than making some more billions:
The behind the scenes questions about rifts between Lin and Melo were not exaggerated; and while likely NOT manifesting at the time, their personal feelings about one another (as well as MDA and Woodson) ran much deeper than any of us would have ever thunk.
By sheer default, this would pit Lin vs Dolan.
Melo-Woodson is Dolan's golden child. After what he has sacrificed and done to get, keep, and lock up both of them -- and for what will be the 3-year window that will define this franchise in this era of basketball, and Dolan's legacy.
During the negotiating process and window of Lin's free agency, I imagine the said rifts and underlying feelings manifested more (either within the confines of man's own self, or in physically manifested disagreement).
This + Dolan's ego thinking his master plan doesn't need the lingering horse and golden boy tethered to the MDA period, has him say **** Lin. **** paying the $ and poison pill contract, and **** him personally (and everyone else not in line with James this whole time).
And I'm sure this move wasn't something which would cause much grief or backlash from the two most important NYK personal and players to Dolan: Melo and Woodson.
My own Kiayspiracy.
This is by far one of the worst moves since Zeke was in charge.
here is bill simmons take
Bill Simmons @sportsguy33
After winning over the Asian community with Jeremy Lin, the Knicks now expect to win over fat people with Ray Felton.
and isola is speculating the we will still match lin's offer
Frank Isola @FisolaNYDN
That said, I'll still be shocked if the Knicks don't match the offer for Jeremy Lin.
poster formally know as JeffVanGundyPLEASE!
i mentioned recently that i don't think we are going to sign Lin for that kinda money, and i agreed with it. Too much $$ for a 25-50 game player who got shut down by Miami. I under stand miami does that to quite a few players, but it shouldn't happen to a player making 10 mil a year. Now that we have like 3 PG;'s, i think i was right. Lin is a goner
I believe you shoot near the mark on this one, my dude.This + Dolan's ego thinking his master plan doesn't need the lingering horse and golden boy tethered to the MDA period, has him say **** Lin. **** paying the $ and poison pill contract, and **** him personally (and everyone else not in line with James this whole time).

Secondly, Michelle, the last thing I want to do is make you guys out to be something you're not. I never said you guys were ripping off inventors. I even said I'm using the site for my own self-promotion by giving advice and sharing my experiences to inventors. This site (as I've said before) is a godsend. It's invaluable to struggling inventors, me included. I am eternally greatful for this opportunity AND acknowledge what a deal it is. You CAN'T FIND A DEAL LIKE THIS ANYWHERE ELSE! The time and effort put into this undertaking is commendable.
What I was saying was that this whole inventor help phenomenon is interesting to me. I said it wasn't all a bad thing, it's just interesting. Maybe this is the key? Maybe inventor guild-type communal support is what we need? Keep in mind, it won't make a poor invention better than it is but it can be an invaluable teaching tool and source of peer support.

TCL > March 2013 Issue > CBA 2012 Award of Merit Recipient Bennett S. Aisenberg—In His Own Words
The CBA Award of Merit is presented annually to a member "for outstanding service to the association, outstanding service or contribution to the legal profession, outstanding contribution to the administration of justice, or outstanding service or contribution to the community." The letter by attorney Dick Reeve in support of Ben Aisenberg is an eloquent representation of the overwhelming support for Aisenberg's 2012 nomination. Reeve's letter stated in part:
Ben is an accomplished horticulturalist, and there are many lawyers throughout Colorado who are "produce" from Ben's garden. He germinated seeds in the hearts and minds of many folks who were in their early days of learning how to practice law. Those seeds have sprouted into professionals who today bring balance, ethics, objectivity, professionalism, and humaneness to their legal work. Ben has found a way, through his various positions of service to the legal community, of connecting with and mentoring hundreds of Colorado lawyers. Because of Ben, their lives (including mine) are better. Because of Ben, our citizens have benefited through the work of those lawyers.
Ben Aisenberg was presented the Award of Merit on January 12, 2013, at the annual Colorado Bar Foundation dinner. Below is the text of his acceptance speech.
Those of you who know me, and many of you who don't, will probably agree that humility is not my strong suit. But I am both honored and humbled at receiving this award and I'm, in a way, at a loss for words (but not completely). I accept this award with a deep appreciation for the legal profession in Colorado and the attorneys who practice in our state. What does this award mean to the recipient? It means 18,000 of your colleagues have honored you for your ethics, professionalism, legal ability, and contribution to the profession.
When I was told I was to receive this award, I looked back on what brought me to this point. I grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts at an interesting time. I was a product of the Depression, but too young to experience it. I was too young to be in the military during World War II, but followed it with great interest by way of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Fireside Chats, the broadcasts of Edward R. Murrow, the news of an Allied victory such as that over Rommel in North Africa, the botched attempt by the Nazi generals to assassinate Hitler, the Battle of Stalingrad, the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima, and even the Allied defeats. I recall the joy of VE Day and VJ Day and my mixed emotions at the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I recall the Nuremberg trials and the dilemma of the age-old defense of "I was just following orders."
I recall my elation during my second year of law school with Brown v. Board of Education, the civil rights movement that followed it, and the awakening of my social consciousness at the unrest and violence that it aroused in Southern states. Incidentally, when I started law school in 1952, there were 550 students in the class—seven women and four African Americans.
Coming from a New England background, I never directly experienced acts of discrimination, but when I enrolled in the army after law school, I saw it subtly and overtly in my days of basic training; my later duty in Colorado Springs; and a month or so tour of duty in the South, where I came into contact with many Southern whites and blacks. My pristine world was changed. Suddenly, I realized the message of a movie such as To Kill a Mockingbird really existed. I resolved I would fight with every passion I possessed to advance the goals of equality, civil liberties, and human rights for everyone.
I spent two years in the army, the majority of it at Ent Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, which later became the Olympic Training Center, and I fell in love with Colorado—the clean air, the beauty, and the lack of congestion (then). Colorado Springs was so small—unbelievably, 30,000 residents at that time. There was no Air Force Academy, no Academy Boulevard. There was a country and western bar on every corner, and on a Friday night I knew every one of them.
After discharge in 1958, I came to Denver. Big as life. Here I am, a Harvard Law School graduate (not quite Law Review)—and I interviewed with all of the large law firms. Little did I know at that time that none of the six or seven large law firms had ever hired a Jewish lawyer. But, fortunately for me, the time was right. The Anti-Defamation League had persuaded the larger law firms to hire a Jewish associate and I did receive two offers, one from Gorsuch Kirgis and one from another large Denver firm. I accepted the Gorsuch offer. As an aside, my claim to fame is that Dan Hoffman and I applied for the same position at Gorsuch Kirgis in 1958, and I was selected. My esteemed law partner and friend, Leonard Campbell, never forgave himself for his misjudgment.
At Gorsuch Kirgis, I met one of the most impressive men I have ever known. He taught me that the practice of law was more than winning at all costs and more than squeezing out the last dollar at the expense of one's own or someone else's dignity. John Gorsuch was not the most aggressive attorney I've ever known, nor the shrewdest; he was just the best attorney I have ever known. We all need role models. John was a remarkable person who taught me many things about the practice of law; he even tried to teach me humility, although I never completely learned that lesson. His most impressive asset was that he knew people and cared for them. So, although I'm telling you my life story, it is not only about me, it is about the experiences I have had and the people who have brought me to this point in my life. I practiced with Gorsuch Kirgis for twenty-two years, and much of what I have become as an attorney I owe to that firm. I mentioned Leonard Campbell. He was also a mentor of mine. I could name many others.
As an aside, the bar was much, much smaller then. When I started practice in 1958, the Equitable Building was the lawyers' building. Gorsuch Kirgis with eighteen attorneys was on the second floor; Dawson Nagle Sherman and Howard with twenty attorneys was on the third floor; and the giant, Holland & Hart with twenty-five attorneys, was on the fifth floor.
I was welcomed into the legal community by many young lawyers, my contemporaries. As much as I liked the environment at Gorsuch Kirgis, I have always been somewhat of an individualist, and I left the firm in 1980 to open my own practice. I like the challenge of attracting clients and gaining a reputation in that regard. I was prepared to sink or swim. Based on this award, I guess I stayed on the surface.
I love our jury trial system, which, although imperfect, represents the backbone of our profession. I have litigated to conclusion pretty close to a hundred cases. Have I won more than I lost? I stopped keeping track years ago.
After fifty years as a litigator, I began to realize that I just didn't have the motivation and enthusiasm to be a trial lawyer any more, and so I turned more to arbitration and mediation, which I thoroughly enjoy. Now I describe myself as a problem-solver, not a problem-maker. I especially love the challenge of mediation. It's an uplifting feeling to know you've saved the parties the expense and brain damage of litigation. I also have testified on more than forty occasions as an expert witness. I label myself as a straight shooter. I have always strived not to identify personally with the attorney who retains me or his or her client. My main goal is to preserve the integrity of the system. This is somewhat hyperbole, but my claim to fame in this area is that I have been unendorsed as an expert witness almost as many times as I have been endorsed (because I couldn't give the engaging attorney the opinion he desired).
Also, I had the good fortune to join the Colorado Bar Association Ethics Committee in 1986, and have found it one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. I have met so many wonderful attorneys, attorneys who practice in different areas, who I would not have had the opportunity to meet in my litigation practice. This committee is dedicated to raising the ethical consciousness of Colorado lawyers and assisting them with their problems. I don't think I've missed fifteen meetings in my twenty-six years.
I loved my roles as President of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, President of the Denver Bar Association, and President of the Colorado Bar Association. As President of the Colorado Bar Association, I had the opportunity to travel to every county in the state and meet very dedicated lawyers who, again, have the goal of raising the perception of the bar. I have received a number of awards culminating in this one, such as the Colorado Trial Lawyers Lifetime Achievement Award and the Denver Bar Association Award of Merit. But among my most treasured are the recognition given me by the Sam Cary Bar, the Asian Pacific American Bar, and the Don Sears Award of Merit given by the Ethics Committee. These latter three have very special meaning to me.
I always wanted to be a lawyer from the time I was growing up. And, I guess, looking back, I should conclude with what I have learned. I've learned that in a complex society such as that within which we live, attorneys, starting with the judiciary and extending to those of us who practice before the judiciary, are the means of bringing justice and social change into this world. I enjoyed my six years on the Denver Judicial Nominating Committee because I believe our system starts with a strong judiciary.
This award epitomizes to me that, in some way, I have added to our esteemed profession. I would not be able to thank the many, many attorneys who have helped me become what I am and win this award. I don't want this to sound like an Academy Awards presentation. However, I will single out two to whom I wish to give a special thanks. First, former Award of Merit winner Tony van Westrum, who, in his own way and unbeknownst to me, garnered the support I needed to win this award. Tony has been a dear friend and colleague. Finally, Chuck Turner, our Executive Director, whose friendship and guidance have been a source of inspiration to me through my many activities on behalf of the Bar Association and in my personal life. As an aside, Chuck and I rarely agree on anything, but our disagreement is always within the concept of what we are discussing, rather than without. And thank you, Deb [Turner], for acting as moderator on many of those occasions. Incidentally, Chuck, you still owe me two dinners.
In closing, I love and admire this profession so much, and to be honored by its members is the greatest gift an attorney can get. Thank you for being a part of my life and for everything you have done for me.

Time for a Knick Winning Streak
The Bullets offensive weapons of Jamison, Butler, and Nick Young, with Agent Orange on the injured list is heading for a Top-7 Lottery pick in the 2009 Draft (somewhere this is illegal).
All they have to do is either sign or trade for 4 cheap good defensive-players and add them to their offensive weapon this offseason.....and they are back to making the playoffs every season again.
The Bullets started this season with a well playing team that was hit with injuries.
I been giving all the Bullets (Wizards) success these years to our ex-G.M. Ernie Grunfield and his selection of (across river) Head Coach Eddie Jordan. This past offseason I thought the Wizards (Bullets) were going to sign and trade Agent Zero out of D.C. (conflict between coach & franchise player).
This Knick vs Wizard game showed we need another 20 mpg rebounder, and we need a SG on this 15-Man roster.....this would help our ball rotation on offense/defense pure when we are shooting 40% FG....Nate Robinson is not in any slump he has been playing the "pass-first" PG to relieve the pressure on Duhon....our players go into a "deep-daze" if they are not included into the offense....so Nate can not play Combo-Guard anymore.....I'm watching the old bench-players of Nate & Lee pick and rolls and hustling energy screen and rolls being done now with Duhon & Lee.
Nate's playbook plays lately have been Nate & Harrington comming out to the top.....not Nate & Lee comming out to the top.....Lee comes out to the top with Duhon now.
This Knick WIN will mean alot with a WIN on Friday night vs the Bullets (Wizards).
Lets GO KNICKS
The last time 3-Knick players scored 25 points in a game was in 1983....when we had SF-Bernard King, C-Bill Cartwright, and SG-Ray Williams

- Foaming in activated sludge plants: a survey in Queensland, Australia and an evaluation of some control strategies

- Blackall, Linda L.; Harbers, Anne E.; Greenfield, P. F.; Hayward, A. C.
- Abstract
- Activated sludge sewage treatment plants that were affected by biological foams attributed to the presence of actinomycetes were surveyed in Queensland, Australia. Nocardia amarae and Nocardia pinensis were the predominant organisms found to accumulate selectively in the foam phase. Foaming was shown to be a significant problem in Queensland with 92 percent of surveyed plants being affected. A total of 60 percent of these plants suffered from bulking, however, no correlation between these two problems was noted. No operational, design, influent of weather feature was found to be consistent in all foaming plants. Apart from the fact that the plants were all variations of the activated sludge process, the only other aspect shared by them was that large numbers of filamentous bacteria were present in the foam. Field scale trials that evaluated control strategies against actinomycete foaming or scumming in activated sludge plants are described. The effects were assessed of: altering the rate of return activated sludge recycle, dosing of the aeration tank with anaerobic digester products, the addition of a commercial product specifically designed to control foaming, altering sludge age, varying levels of mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and altering other operational features. These strategies did not efficaciously control scumming in activated sludge, however, some operational features were highlighted as exacerbating the problem.

Community Profiles 2.0 provides insight into Grand Rapids neighborhoods
Posted on November 26, 2013
A new community information portal, designed and launched by the Johnson Center for Philanthropy at Grand Valley State University, will provide new insight into current trends and neighborhood-level analysis of the city of Grand Rapids through a unique and innovative design.
The new system, called Community Profiles 2.0, provides users with tools to map, compare, and identify trends in housing and economics, including home sales, foreclosures, household size, incomes, business types, and number of employees. The detailed data will provide more information than baseline Census data, and on a much more detailed geographic scale.
Community Profiles 2.0 incorporates previously untapped data into the system, which provides area government leaders, nonprofit organizations, and citizens alike with a powerful tool to track trends in areas where they live. The site incorporates improved user design for mapping, comparing, and trending different information sets for specific areas within the city, or to compare data from two different areas. Community Profiles 2.0 also introduces a new "Neighborhood Score" tool which allows users to score individual neighborhoods based on multiple indicators, along with a "Graduated Symbols" tool to view two data sets on the map simultaneously.
Data specifically tailored at a micro-level for the city of Grand Rapids is a feature of Community Profiles 2.0 that builds upon the work of other tools like MAPAS, the Johnson Center's first-generation data mapping tool. The Johnson Center's Community Research Institute (CRI) specifically designed the data and tools for this site to aid area-specific planning efforts within Grand Rapids communities.
The Johnson Center for Philanthropy's CRI is working diligently toward the democratization of data to allow communities at all levels to access quality information while providing a high level of community research for various large stakeholder groups in the community and across the state. Doing work in a wide range of community research initiatives, researchers at the Community Research Institute have become experts in bringing hard-to-reach data to the community and providing evaluation and data stewardship to some of the largest philanthropic institutions in Michigan.
For more information about the Johnson Center and the Community Research Institute, visit johnsoncenter.org or cridata.org.

Hi All
So I am going to go back to training at karate in the middle of March. This means that I will have to express enough milk for a feed twice a week. The dojo where I train is only a 5 minute walk so I will be away from the house about 1.5 hours. However, DS has his prime feeding and comfort time in the evenings so he is usually attached to between 6-11pm with short breaks provided by DH so that I can cook tea, go to the loo etc.
Anyway, I have no idea how much milk I will need to express for this amount of time away from home-does anyone have any suggestions? My baby boy is 10 weeks old, but will be about 14 weeks old when I go back to training.

March 29, 2011 —
The recession has knocked the stuffing out of state and local governments. Now, more than ever, public officials must vigilantly ensure that taxpayer monies are used carefully and wisely.
Most small governments employ the traditional "additive" budgeting process, which assumes that government needs to spend at least as much as in the prior year. The additive method of budgeting usually means that each line item for next year's budget is "bumped up" a notch or two. While this process is quick and easy, it is the least efficient and most costly way to conduct business.
In a small community like Shohola, zero-based budgeting is the smartest way to safeguard taxpayer money and ensure each dollar is spent out of necessity, not availability. Unlike additive budgeting, zero-based budgeting starts from a zero base and is built dollar by dollar from the ground up. Nothing goes into the budget simply because it was in there last year. Each proposed expenditure receives the annual scrutiny of those responsible for the budget, which in Shohola, is the board of supervisors.
To successfully implement zero-based budgeting, government leaders must work with citizens to understand their priorities, which may differ from those of public officials. No budget should be passed by the board of supervisors until citizens have had the opportunity to actively review and work through the budget in a public workshop. Those implementing zero-based budgeting need a concrete roadmap, a three- to five-year plan, to ensure that township supervisors build a budget based on citizen participation, thoughtful foresight and achievable plans.
The zero-based approach starts with the assumption that your wallet is empty. The additive approach assumes that taxpayer money already lines your wallet and it is there to be spent. With a ground-up approach to budgeting, every investment of taxpayer money must pass the "wringer" test: have we squeezed everything out of the tax dollar we intend to spend?
Township supervisors are the overseers of the welfare of township citizens and the watchdogs of taxpayer funds. While additive budgeting is quick and easy, it is just not smart. Supervisors must be willing to roll up their sleeves, put in some late nights and weekends, and develop a three- to five-year plan upon which each annual budget can be built. This process does not require an outside consultant; it requires commitment and a sense of purpose.
I'm ready to roll up my sleeves.
[Brad Dellert is a candidate for supervisor in Shohola Township, PA.]

I'm Heather, SAHM to Cooper , born 1/2007

and wife to Bill since 10/2003!
We're young, but we know we can do it!
Life with the Stevens-blog
I'm an Ergo Baby Carrier affiliate!
My 27 month old nurses probably four or five times a day and two or three at night. During the day, he nurses for naps (when he's falling asleep and waking up) and for comfort after a temper tantrum, and sometimes I think just because he's bored :-).
Mom to Jessica (2/7/03) breastfed for 8 months
Sam (7/6/06) breastfed for three years, five months, two weeks and three days (not that I was counting or anything :-)
Julianna (4/29/10) struggled thru nursing strike, nipple confusion, thrush, multiple cracks and fissures, a staph infection and then another bout of thrush, but happily nursing away
My 16 month old boy nurses about 4 - 5 times a day. He nurses in the morning, after I pick him up from a daycare, in the evening, before going to bed, and sometimes once during the night. He nurses more when I stay home all day with him.
My 21-month-old nurses maybe 4-5 times during the week (when he's in daycare most of the day), and seemingly perpetually on the weekends. This includes a marathon session from 5am until 7:30 or whenever DH or myself hauls ourself out of bed, whichever comes first. (I can't sleep while he's nursing anymore, too acrobatic). This comes at least partly from our night-weaning. You know he KNOWS the rule is he can come into bed at 5am!
23 months, and 10-12 times during the day. He nurses once at night (usually around 5am). DH jokes about Joshua coming home from highschool (DH says this in a deep voice)
"Mom, I failed my algebra test, dee dee dee" (dee dee dee is milkies). I laugh so hard everytime he does that.
Mama to my sweet blueberry eyed boy Joshua
born on 11/2/2006
and my blueberry eyed baby Jonah Henry...my water birth baby!
born on 6/15/09
My dd, 21 1/2 mo, nurses off and on from 5-7am (sometimes that's just once off each side, other times it's each side several times), before nap, right after nap, and before bed. I guess that's 3-4 sessions.

text: I've been weaning my 18 mth old dtr off day feeds since Weds, so far so good, but not without it's trials. My daughter will drink rice dream vanilla but I'm concerned it doesn't have the same status as whole milk. I've heard soy milk contains harmful hormones that may lead to early puberty. I don't want to undo the goodness of breastmilk, by opting for something harmful. Do you think it would be ok to flavour whole milk with a hint of vanilla essence perhaps. She's still into night feeding which is utterly exhausting me, but I want to get the day weaning under control before attempting night times. I've been told by mostly non-breastfeeding women that I should just say 'no' if only it was that easy, does anyone else find the whole process very harrowing, or is just me?

Maybe this is just me venting - but any support would be appreciated.
DD is 5 months old - and i am still exclusively breastfeeding her. We don;t plan to introduce solids until she is ready (as we read on this site). We co-sleep with her, and we kind of rotate through 2 beds (either hubby or i sleep with her in one bed while the other sometimes sleeps in another bed - simply for comfort). I nurse her laying down in bed most nights - and it works great. When she was a newborn she would take a bottle as well - to give me some sleep - but hasn't taken one since November - and now won't - which is fine as I am home with her anyway. If we get a sitter we do it in the AM when she can go a few hours without eating.
Now all this is great - and hubby and i are happy with everything.... but then enter family and friends. I swear if I hear one more person tell me how i am not doing the right thing I will scream. I have family members (lile my mom and dad) telling me to give her solid food because "she wants it" and people tleling me i am spoiling her by co-sleeping and especially by nursing her in bed because "She needs to learn to go to sleep without nursing." And then there's the decision to be nursing for at least a year - and then her not taking a bottle because "IF she's hungry enough she'll take a bottle." or "She needs to take a bottle - you can;t just always nurse her."
And I know I am doing the right thing - but good lord i am so tired of defending it. I am tired of people telling me what I should be doing, and how to do it. We talk to a local LLL leader, Molly, who is fabulous. I was ready to give up nursing at 2 weeks - and Molly is the reason I didn't. She helped us with latching and things. I am so committed to nursing DD, and hubby is as committed - but man it is hard when every way you turn people are telling you that you're not doing right.
Thanks for letting me vent.

You've seen the claims on laundry detergents - 'Ultra,' '2X Double Concentrated,' and '3X Ultra.' The more concentrated the detergent, the less you're supposed to use. But that's not what's happening. "I kind of just throw it in, do it, press the button, and leave." "Most of the time I eyeball it." "I just pour it straight in." Many people are using twice as much detergent as they need, according to an industry trade group. That can make the rinse cycle longer. It also wastes money. And if you think you could do twice as many loads with a two-times concentrated detergent, think again.
"It turns out there's no standard definition for what these concentrations mean. It's only twice as concentrated when you compare within the same brand." For example, this Era detergent says it's 2X concentrated and it can clean 32 loads. It's the same size as this Tide, which says it can do 30 loads. But the Tide's not concentrated. Figuring out how much detergent to use isn't easy either. Celia Lehrman, "This All detergent says to fill to line three for large loads and line two for normal loads. But those lines are virtually impossible to see." So you may need to get a bit creative. Take Consumer Reports' top-rated detergent for top-loaders - Wisk Deep Clean. The fill lines are really tough to see. So take a permanent marker and make a nice bold line. That way you won't end up wasting detergent.

Wisconsin's wolf hunting and trapping season has ended.
The Wisconsin Department of Resources closed the sixth and last zone at 5 p.m. Monday.
Zone 3 covers a narrow swath of northwestern Wisconsin.
The quota for Zone 3 was set at 71 wolves and the closure process was initiated when wolf 64 was killed Saturday. Hunters took 69 wolves in that zone.
The DNR earlier closed five zones after hunters reached their limits. This season's quota was 135 wolves higher than last season.
Wisconsin's wolf season was to run through the end of February unless hunters reached their statewide limit of 251 wolves.
The 2012-13 season ended two months early on Dec. 23 as well after hunters exceeded their 116-wolf limit by one animal.

I will never forget something a dear friend said to me years ago. I was struggling in my Christian walk. I had hit what I presumed to be rock bottom. I told him that I had lost all hope for happiness.
"Then I will hope for you," he said, matter-of-factly.
What? Is it possible to carry someone else's hope? What a beautiful, selfless sentiment.
I eventually pulled through my situation. Peace came. And I wonder how much of it was because of my friend's odd but wonderful offer.
Over the years, this concept of holding on to hope for someone else has stuck with me. To be honest, it still sounds impossible. But I hope not. Because I recently heard a heartbreaking story from Bangladesh. A story about lost hope.
There was a young family living in extreme poverty in a small village in Bangladesh. They were surviving — not much more.
Hope was the most priceless commodity to be found in their tiny thatch-and-mud hut. Hope for a future. Hope for a better life. Hope for education for their two daughters. Hope for jobs that would put food on the table.
Last summer, a terrible storm raged through the village. A cyclone. Massive. Powerful enough to blow hope right out of their lives.
The storm killed the father, leaving the mother to raise the two little girls on her own. She spent the last year struggling to rebuild her home of scraps and mud bricks. She struggled to feed her children. She struggled with loneliness and depression.
And then, it got worse.
Earlier this month — one year later — another cyclone tore through the same village. And it proved just as merciless.
The makeshift home was destroyed yet again, leaving this woman and her children homeless. What little hope survived the first storm was washed away with the debris.
In her depression, the mother took her own life. Now, her children are orphans in a dirty, ravaged, poverty-stricken village. How terrified they must be. What must they think about every dark cloud that rolls in?
I wonder if those little girls have any hope left in them?
I wonder if I can carry their hope for them. I wonder if we can.
I think it's a beautiful sentiment that just might be beyond our full comprehension. But holding hope for someone else is — well, pure. And I am hoping that God will take those two precious girls from this horrible tragedy and bring them peace. Happiness.
I will hold on to hope for them when their hope is gone. I will cling to hope that the God who brings hope will protect them. I will hope that these girls may have a future. And I pray that you will do the same.
