Frazier basketball player beats the odds
Every time Riley Vargo steps onto a basketball court, her parents can't help but smile.
The Frazier senior guard will likely never lead the team in scoring or hit a game-winning shot, but Corinne and Rock Vargo learned long ago to look beyond the statistics.
Riley Vargo arrived into the world prematurely, born two months early. Three days after her birth, she began having seizures, and a CT scan revealed the newborn had developed intraventricular hemorrhaging (IVH).
The condition results in bleeding in and around the brain's ventricles, which in turn places pressure on the brain's surrounding nerve cells. Depending on the amount of bleeding, IVH is categorized into four grades. Grades 1 and 2 are the most common, while grades 3 and 4 are the most serious.
Vargo was diagnosed with a grade 3 hemorrhage on the right side of her brain, and grade 4 on the left.
The condition is treated with symptom control, since there's no proven effective method to stop the bleeding. Blood transfusions are an option, as is the placing of a shunt to relieve pressure from the buildup of fluid.
An infant's prognosis with IVH usually depends on the amount of bleeding and subsequent swelling of the brain. Grades 3 and 4 often lead to developmental delays and problems controlling bodily movements, and current statistics show that one in five newborns with severe bleeding may die.
Vargo spent two weeks in the intensive care unit and, after being sent home, was seen daily by a visiting nurse. Because of muscle rigidity, the visiting nurse used a brushing technique on the insides of Riley's arms and legs. This helped nerve stimulation and eventually eased up the tightness.
Doctors were frank in their discussions with Corinne and Rock Vargo, and told them if Riley didn't sit up without support by the age of 15 months, she wouldn't walk.
"Well, she sat up on her own at 12 months," Corinne Vargo said. "From there, she just took off."
Riley was behind in her physical development by 2 months, but was ahead in other areas. She began talking at 9 months and, a month later, stopped taking a bottle.
"In those regards, she was ahead of her brother," Corinne Vargo said.
Riley's older brother, Rocco, would go on to become a three-sport star at Frazier, and now is a linebacker at Washington & Jefferson.
The two siblings were born 20 months apart, and they forged a strong bond growing up. Corinne said Riley adored her older brother, and she believes this was one of the reasons for her developmental advancements.
"They had and still have a wonderful relationship," she said. "Rocco made her do a lot of things. She followed him around and she watched him and he would help her."
Vargo had to go to physical therapy for years, and she also had to wear a splint on her right leg. She began playing basketball in middle school, and has been a member of the Lady Commodores' squad the past four years.
Most of Vargo's game action has come during JV games, but her impact has been felt by the varsity squad as well.
"I say she's like sunshine," Frazier coach Shara Zupanc said. "No matter what is happening with us, there's no bad situation. She's either saying something encouraging or cracking a joke. You can't be in too bad of a mood when you're around her. She really doesn't get a lot of playing time, but she's happy to be a part of the team and contribute in any way she can. She's so incredible in that way, and that's pretty rare."
She also plays softball in a slow-pitch summer league in Perryopolis. Her attitude on the softball diamond mimics her mentality on the basketball court.
"I like to make everyone happy," Riley Vargo said. "That makes me happy, and I love to smile."
The holiday season has always been a special time for the Vargos, and this year will be no different.
For Riley, it will mean she'll get to spend time with someone special.
"Rocco and I have always been close, and we still are," she said. "It was very, very tough for me went he went away to college. It was a tough time for me. I had issues with school, with my parents and with basketball. Things have gotten a lot better. He's not just a brother, but he's also just like my best friend."

Publication Acceptance Date: 2/1/2003

Citation: Banuelos, G. S. Pasakdee, J.W. Finley. Journal of Plant Nutrition. 2003. 26:2537-2549. Interpretive Summary: There is an increasing trend in using poor quality water for irrigated agriculture in central California. The suitability of poor quality water for irrigation is dependent on the crops' tolerance to salinity and the concentrations of selenium and boron. Growing a high cash value crop like broccoli that tolerates salt, boron, and selenium would likely be a preferred choice by growers using water of poor quality. In this greenhouse study the salt tolerance and selenium and boron distribution was assessed in different varieties of boroccoli that were irrigated with water of different qualities. For all varieties, there was little effect on the yields of the marketable product - florets. Selenium accumulation was greatest in the florets and boron and chloride concentrations were greatest in the leaves. The results indicate that the tested broccoli varieties should be considered as recipients of moderately saline water with selenium and boron under field conditions. Even though broccoli is a short season crop, salt and boron management will eventually be needed for the soils irrigated over time.
Technical Abstract: Many drainage waters can be used successfully to grow selected crops without long-term consequences to crops and soils. Certain ions in saline waters can be specifically toxic to plants, if they accumulate to toxic concentrations within the plants tissues. Of particular concern in the San Joaquin Valley of California are selenium (Se), boron (B), and Chloride (Cl). In this greenhouse study, we evaluated Se, B, and Cl accumulation in different broccoli varieties irrigated with moderately-saline water containing salts, Se, and B. Treatments consisted of: 1) non-saline water; 2) Cl/sulfate saline water (5ds/m), 250 ug Se/L, and 5 mg B/L; and 3) non-saline water and 250 ug Se/L. Floret yields were generally insensitive to water quality treatments. For all varieties, plant Se concentrations were greatest in the floret (up to 5 l mg/Kg DW, while B and Cl concentrations were greatest in the leaves; 110 mg B/Kg DW and 5.4 percent Cl, respectively. At postharvest soils from treatment 2 had a soil salintiy of 6 dS/m, a total Se concentrations of 0.6 mg/Kg DW, and soluble B concentration of 2.3 mg B/L. Although broccoli is a short season crop, the increased soil salintiy and B indicate that salt and B management may be necessary for soils receiving this quality of water under field conditions.

GULF SHORES, Alabama -- Learning to fly is tough work, and sometimes you just need a break.
Thankfully that's the worst that happened to a juvenile bald eagle this morning, who briefly stopped traffic on Windmill Ridge Road in Gulf Shores.
A volunteer with Share the Beach, Alabama's sea turtle conservation program, called Gulf State Park naturalist Kelly Reetz to report a possibly-injured eagle sitting the road. The volunteer feared that the bird had been hit by a car.
Reetz and her husband came out to investigate, and discovered the fledgling bald eagle, sitting tired but uninjured in the road.

GANA committee discusses re-emergence of climate change talks
March 26, 2010
"With the health care bill mostly behind us, cap and trade is coming back to the forefront," said Bill Yanek, executive vice president of the Glass Association of North America, Topeka, Kan, during the Flat Glass Manufacturing Division meeting, March 25, at the Paris Las Vegas Resort. The meeting kicked off GANA's Glass Week conference that runs through March 30.
Nationally, glass manufacturers could possibly see emissions requirements coming through legislation or through regulation. The Environmental Protection Agency has made moves to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. However, the National Association of Manufacturers, Washington, D.C., issued a legal challenge about the EPA's ability to regulate, and it could slow the process, Yanek said.
Legislatively, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., have developed a proposal that would put off the impact on manufacturers for 10 years, said Steve Farrar, director of International Business, Guardian Industries Corp., Auburn Hills, Mich., co-chair of the Climate Change Committee. "Whether there is [legislative] movement or not—and we're uncertain if there will be movement, perhaps a 50-50 chance—we need to be on top of this," he said. "Just because it's not moving now doesn't mean we can stop working."
In California, manufacturers could see changes in the much nearer future. "California is going forward on their own, full steam ahead," Yanek said about the state's climate change Assembly Bill 32 greenhouse gas emissions plan.
Manufacturers with California locations can learn more about the emissions plan during an April 19 Webinar that will be shown on the GANA Web site.
Climate change is a major issue for the industry and manufacturers should remain vigilant, Farrar said. "Nationally, we are trying to make sure we are not disadvantaged or over burdened to pay for carbon credits, while our international competitors are not."

Boeing Technical Fellow to share 33-year career in aerospace
Posted: April 2nd, 2013
Public talk is 7 p.m. TONIGHT!
Steven Lien speaks to a first-year engineering class on April 3.
(Download a print version)
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – A Lake Superior State University engineering alumnus who worked 33 years in aerospace before retiring from Boeing in 2010 is making a visit to campus April 2-3 for a public talk and special working sessions with engineering faculty and students.
Steven Lien, a 1977 graduate in electrical engineering technology, will present a public presentation entitled "An Amazing Career in Aerospace: An all-encompassing adventure in technology over 33 years at Boeing" at 7 p.m., April 3, in the Cisler Center's Crows Nest.
During the day on April 2-3 he will speak to several engineering classes and meet with faculty from the College of Business and Engineering and staff from LSSU's Product Development Center. He will share insights into technologies that straddle engineering and business disciplines in many unexpected ways.
"A lot of technology - particularly in the areas of data and information fusion and communications - can be applied to almost any area in business," says Lien. "It's all about understanding communication constraints and possibilities, business models and customer needs."
As a research project lead at Boeing, Lien worked on project development and execution, project budgets, schedules, marketing to internal/external customers, and product education. His budgets ranged from hundreds of thousands to many millions of dollars.
Lien's first job out of Lake Superior State College in 1977 was as an engineer with McDonnell-Douglas's F-15 Electrical Group. The venerable F-15 Eagle fighter-bomber was first flown in 1972 and still forms the backbone of the U.S. Air Force and fleets of 15 other countries.
Lien's expertise was power generation and distribution for the F-15C/D/E model aircraft from 1977-1982. His job included three years in Japan supporting the F-15J licensed production program. The F-15J opportunity provided a complete education on the F-15 aircraft and immersion into the Japanese culture. After his return from Japan, Lien joined the F-15 Tactical Electronic Warfare Systems (TEWS) group to round out his education on systems that were not releasable to Japan for licensed production.
In May 1987 he moved to McDonnell-Douglas's advanced product research and development division, an area he worked in until retirement. His job was to find or develop electronics hardware and software technology that would add value to products for future sales. Customers included all branches of the U.S. military, with programs in missile defense, space, intelligence, homeland security, and aircraft. Lien continued his career with Boeing after that company acquired McDonnell-Douglas in 1997.

Lucas Thelosen is our Director of eCommerce Analytics here at Craftsy HQ. But after he walked in one day with his own homemade desk and explained what he wanted to get his dad for Christmas this year, we insisted he take some time out of his day directing and analyzing eCommerce, and write a guest blog post to tell his thoughts on his desk, his dad, and dovetail joints. Enjoy!
My dad has enjoyed doing handiwork around the house for decades. So, this Christmas I will give him Hand-Cut Dovetails (the dovetail-making class we offer on Sympoz.com) and a dovetail saw, introducing him to the beauty of creating furniture---pieces of art---by hand. Aside from those household fix-it projects, he---like me---spends countless hours typing away on computers for work. And while we both love our jobs, working on computers can be a funny thing because aside from printing a document or spreadsheet, there's rarely anything tangible to show for our efforts. This is not a new realization. In fact, it had occurred to me years ago. But it was that notion that inspired me to pick up woodworking. I started with simple projects that didn't require any fancy tools. And then, when I began working at Craftsy, I took the dovetail making class. How perfect, I thought: aside from the class, all I really needed was a saw, some sandpaper and maybe a chisel.
Not only was this my first time taking an online class, it was my first time taking any woodworking class. I was skeptical. I am a guy who likes to try things out and learn as I go. However, I would never have learned the fine art of dovetail making this way. Looking back, I realize I would have ruined hundreds of dollars worth of wood, and wasted weeks of my time if it weren't for the instructor, Sam Norris, leading me through the steps and providing advice all along the way.
Still, that doesn't mean I went about everything in the ideal way. I do have my impatient side, after all. So, I admit that I probably should have started with pieces of scrap wood to practice, but I went straight for a full-scale desk for the office. Craftsy is probably one of the few places where you don't have to worry at all about bringing in your own, home-built desk. In my defense, though, at least I didn't use a fancy wood. I simply used pine, a very soft and forgiving variety. And, anyway, I wasn't sure I would like a standing desk and wanted to test out the height and the desk's design before I built the desk out of a harder, more expensive (and less forgiving) wood.
I watched the class two-thirds of the way through until I decided I simply couldn't wait any longer; I had to start cutting my first dovetails. Again, I should have started on scrap pieces (as Sam recommends) and finished the class before I started my real project. Consequently, you can clearly see which dovetails were my first. Despite the imperfect start, I really like my desk---the height and everything. I am proud that the whole desk is held together just by the strength and tightness of the joints. I didn't need any glue or nails. I got many compliments and am excited to start working on a second desk with improved craftsmanship and made out of a finer wood; walnut or cherry perhaps. And should I decide to upgrade, many co-workers have already offered to take care of my current desk!
For now, though, what I am most looking forward to is seeing the wonderful furniture my father is sure to make as a result of what he learns in Hand-Cut Dovetails. Like the dovetail joints, what he learns and creates will be more things that keeps us bonded. And isn't that what the holidays are really about?
If you're looking for a woodworking gift idea for the aspiring crafter in your life, be sure to check out this class!

LU announced the project with much fanfare a year ago and said the first screens would be working in spring this year. But none has appeared and no new launch date has been given. Industry sources claimed the project had been shelved because of technical problems due to equipment overheating in the sealed units that are required by fire regulations.
But LU denied this. A company spokeswoman said trials had gone well and there were no technical difficulties with XTP, which is already used overseas. She added: 'There has been a delay due to one of the partners and we do not yet have a launch date. But we want this to go ahead and we will find new partners if necessary.'
One of LU's existing partners is Swedish group DHJ Media, which has the patent for the XTP technology. DHJ, which specialises in real-time advertising systems, lost £4m in 2000 and postponed a planned listing on the Swedish stock market last year.
The Tube is in the process of being partly privatised and XTP would give it a useful-earnings stream on top of traditional advertising income. When the deal was announced last year, it was anticipated that 400 XTP screens across the Tube's network of 260 stations could generate £500m over the 12-year life of the contract.

Johannesburg: After the wake-up call it got against Kenya, India will be keen to make amends in its second World Cup Super Six game against Sri Lanka on Monday and grab a win which will assure it of a semi-final berth.India has enjoyed a distinct edge over its sub-continental rivals in the recent matches, having defeated Sri Lanka in all the games in the NatWest triangular series in England last year and also dominated in the rain-abandoned finals of the Champions Trophy in Colombo.The last time the two teams met in a World Cup, India, helped by centuries from Rahul Dravid and Saurav Ganguly, had bludgeoned Sri Lanka by 157 runs. A victory in Monday's game will assure a semi-final berth for India which is placed second in the Super Six table with 12 points. For Sri Lanka, which received a 96-run drubbing at the hands of leaders Australia, it is a must win situation for all practical purposes.Sri Lanka's prospects have been severely affected by the injury to its match-winning skipper Sanath Jayasuriya who is a doubtful starter for Monday's game.Jayasuriya is still to recover fully from the blows he got from a Brett Lee delivery during their match on Friday which left him with a broken thumb and a heavily bruised forearm.Jayasuriya himself was devastated at the way things have unfolded. "I would love to play against India but it all depends on my fitness," he said. "We know the game against India is vital. We have had some very good matches against it and I hope everything falls into its place for us on Monday," he said.If Jayasuriya is forced to sit out, his place will most probably be taken by Avishka Gunawardena but the team knows any replacement for Jayasuriya can only be a patch on the master blaster.India has no worries on the injury count but the form of few of the players has been troubling the team think-tank. Captain Saurav Ganguly minced no words after his team's face-saving win against Kenya on Friday saying the players will have to pull up their socks if they are to maintain their winning run.Ganguly, who stroked an unbeaten century on Friday to be among runs again, was also critical of the show in the field. "The fielding was not good at all. The intensity wasn't there. We gave a lot of twos and boundaries. And then there were dropped catches. Fielding was much below par," he said. "If Mohammed Kaif who is among the best in the team drops a catch, if Dinesh Mongia who is as good as anybody drops a catch, then we do not have much to say. They know it themselves what they have done. They were not the hardest of chances and they went to the best of fielders," the Indianskipper said. India dropped no less than four catches in the field, including two against the top-scorer Kenedy Obuya. "We will have to improve and set the record straight before Monday's game," Ganguly said.However, the one positive that India drew from the match was the fact that it did not lose its way despite early dismissals of three of its top order batsmen. Dashing opener Virender Sehwag has had an unimpressive show so far and on Monday is his chance to get a start and build on it patiently. Sachin Tendulkar failed against Kenya but the awesome form he has shown in the tournament promises he will be again at his best.Tendulkar's face-off with champion spinner Muthiah Muralitharan and leading wicket-taker Chaminda Vaas has already generated a lot of interest and the match offers a lip-smacking opportunity to the trio to display their class and win their respective duels.Tendulkar will be face to face with Muralitharan after a gap of three years and he will want to make the meeting a memorable one but so will the spin wizard. Sri Lankan coach Dav Whatmore was not too bothered by reputations and said his team had full measure of the Indian big wigs. "India is a very good side but it is not Australia. It has a couple of incredible match-winners but we have played it many times and know its strengths and weaknesses," he said. "It might be on the top of its game right now but it can be beaten. We have done it before and we can do it again," Whatmore said. The confidence of Whatmore stems from the team's ability to stage a comeback after reverses. 1996 champions Sri Lanka was upset by Kenya in its league match but bounced back to defeat the West Indies and tied the rain-hit match against South Africa to squeeze in to the Super Sixes.An equally unpredictable India, which hammered 100 runs in 10 overs against Pakistan but struggled to put up 25 in its next match against Kenya, will have to be up on its guard throughout to ensure it maintain its winning run in the premier event.The teams (from): India: Saurav Ganguly (captain), Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh,Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Dinesh Mongia, Parthiv Patel, Sanjay Bangar, Ajit Agarkar, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammed Kaif. Sri Lanka: Sanath Jayasuriya (captain), Marvan Atapattu,Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Aravinda de Silva,Russel Arnold, Jehan Mubarak, Avishka Gunawardena, Hashan Tillekeratne, Muthiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas, Dilhara Fernando, Pulasthi Gunaratne, Prabath Nissanka, Charitha Buddhika. Umpires:David Shepherd (England), Simon Taufel (Australia)TV umpire:Daryl Harper (Australia) Match referee:Clive Lloyd (West Indies). PTI

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/4/2014 (1150 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Brandon Police Service continue to get more calls, but the number of crimes is generally less, according to their 2013 annual report, which was released this afternoon.
Police chief Ian Grant said that 2013 was an eventful year for the police. Not only was it the first full calendar year for him to helm the service, it was also the first year under the newly-formed Brandon police board.
The report's release was timed earlier this year, in part because of police board requirements, but Grant said that this means some crime statistics — in particular the Crime Severity Index — are not yet available. Those are generally completed in July.
"The majority of (crimes) … do continue to see a decline in reported incidents," Grant wrote in his portion of the report. "On the other hand, our calls for service are continuing their upward trend. I believe we live in a safe city and that our prevention, enforcement, and community connectivity efforts are paying off."
The police report shows that there were a total of 4,147 various crimes reported in 2013 — that's down slightly from the 4,301 that were reported in 2012.
Most categories of criminal offenses saw declines, although there were notable increases in impaired driving, weapons offences, drug trafficking and homicide.
Overall, both crimes against people and crimes against property saw declines in 2013.
The police service was also notified of 15 complaints that had been filed against them last year through the Law Enforcement Review Agency. That's up from the eight complaints that were filed the year before.
Of the complaints filed in 2013, one has been dismissed, two have been abandoned, one had an informal resolution and 10 are still pending. The last turned out to have been filed incorrectly.

If it were a Republican administration that made these comments, the progressives would be frothing at the mouth and spitting all over themselves, however, since it is a progressive administration, it's considered "fair" that Sebelius has taken this stance. And the progessives claim to be the champions of the "little people." yeah right.

I loooooooooooooooove how Sebelius is busily trying to convince people that this move would put Sarah at the "head of the line". That is NOT what the ruling was about. The ruling was about moving her to the adult list - NOT putting her at the head of line.
This gives her a better chance at getting a transplant, but does not guarantee her a transplant. She could potentially be next in line, but if the donor lung is not a match, she gets passed by in favor of someone who IS a match. Organ donation isn't like changing out lego pieces.
But here is the best line of the article...I cant imagine anything worse than one individual getting to pick who lives and who dies, she said at a House hearing on Tuesday.
But yet, she is one individual who gets to pick who lives or who dies, just by her answer.
West Bloomfield, MI
#23 Jun 5, 2013
Go ahead and laugh your fat a$$ off all you want. Bottom line is Sebelius doesn't make the rules -- the Organ Transplant Procurement Network (OTPN) in concert with the U.S. Congress establishes policies, rules and regulations. If you don't like the rules, take it up with the organization that makes them.
#24 Jun 5, 2013
what part of "she could bypass the rule" don't you understand? That is what her job is, of course, asking a progressive to do their job is pretty close to spitting against the wind.
#25 Jun 5, 2013
Apparently you did not read your own article. If you did you missed the opening statement.
"A federal judge on Wednesday ordered HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to allow 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan to be moved to the adult lung transplant list, giving her a better chance of receiving a potentially life-saving transplant."
What was that? "Giving her a better chance of receiving a potentially life saving transplant." Neecer was right.
Pipester this is not a laughing matter. The point is no one should have the right to say who lives or who dies. Yet that is just exactly what Sebelius said. Someone lives, someone dies. Your right it is not her rules, but she has the power to override them.
West Bloomfield, MI
#27 Jun 5, 2013
Who says "she could bypass the rule?" Where does it say that?
At best it is a legal question as to what authority she has to intervene and waive the rule.
Bottom line is the policies rules pertaining to to Organ transplants are established by physicians and other medical professional who have determined the best outcome for the organs available.
It is indeed an agonizing dilemma as there are about 40 other seriously ill individuals in Pennsylvania over age 12 are waiting for a lung transplant, as well as three children in the same hospital as Murnaghan. There are not enough organs to go around and, despite what some doctors are saying, there remains a great deal of uncertainty regarding the outcome of putting an adult lung into a child who is only 10 years of age.
West Bloomfield, MI
#28 Jun 5, 2013
What? Sebelius' job is to bypass the rules and change established policies, rules and regulations?
You advocate that she alone can and should decide who shall live and die?
Crazies like yourself are screaming death panels but out of the other side of their big mouths are saying Sebelius and Sebelius alone should decide by intervening and changing rules.
What happens the next time this situation arises. Should she intervene and change the rules again or do nothing?

The fact remains that the government is making decisions for peoples personal health. I don't have any answer for this dilemma but its going to get worse. I can see a lottery system for transplants.

Not only that, sometimes they even play with each others pipe.
#33 Jun 6, 2013
It's a mute point there pipehead. The court has ruled that the child can be put on the adult transplant list. Doesn't say she is first, just that she will have a better chance at a transplant. Again, answer the question. If this was a Republican administration, would you feel the same way about them saying no to a transplant for a child? I am guessing the answer to THAT question is no, you would be filling your diaper with excrement because the administration dared to not forego the rules for a child. As it stands, as a progressive who feels life should be "fair", apparently that "fairness" applies to only adults and not children? Guess that explains your willingness to see a child die. Shame on you.

Yep just imagine the faux anger of Matthews an Schultz. Just imagine if she was black.
The fact still remains that there is a middle man in the health care industry and it is the federal government judges and secretaries making medical decisions and its going to get worse. This just the beginning.
#37 Jun 6, 2013
While I'm happy that this child is being put onto the larger adult transplant waiting list, it has to make me smile to see so many of you demanding that the government get involved in health care decisions.......
Now we only have to wait to see if they find a suitable donor before time runs out and you can all climb back on the smaller government - keep your hands off our medical care bandwagon!
West Bloomfield, MI
#38 Jun 6, 2013
One minute the crazies are demanding Govt (HHS) out of health care (Sebelius is a one person death panel -- some will live, some will die), the next they're demanding she intervene and waive established policies, rules and make exceptions.
West Bloomfield, MI
#39 Jun 6, 2013
No imagination necessary. Your faux anger is apparent.
West Bloomfield, MI
#40 Jun 6, 2013
Never suggested the girl should not be be put on the adult lung transplant list or considered for extraordinary life saving measures. I am saying your faux angst is misdirected towards Sebelius and you and other crazies are twisting this into a political issue and talking out of both sides of your big mouths.
SO YOU can Answer MY question. What do you expect HHS do the next time a similar situation occurs? Intervene and break the rules or follow the rules? Keep in mind they are not HHS rules - they are rules made by experts who make up the Organ Transplant and Procurement Network and United Network for Organ Sharing both of which are private-non profit non-governmental organizations?

GFCI on generator tripping; home backup
I just had an electrician wire my house with an interlock kit so that I can use my new 6600 watt generator for power backup. Unfortunately, the GFCI in the generator's panel trips as soon as I attach the cable to the house. My electrician says that there is absoultely nothing wrong with the wiring in my house and that the problem is with the GFCI. He says that most generators with built in GFCI's won't work for power backup. He also says that there is no way he'll touch the generator to disable the GFCI for liability reasons. How do I use this brand new $2,200 generator to power my house if the GFCI keeps tripping and can't be disabled? Thanks in advance for the advice!
BTW, 900' of perfectly good Romex will probably have enough inter-conductor capacitance to give you 4 mA of reactive leakage current and so would validly trip a GFCI.
If it is the Romex the fix would be to have the gen. only run sections or only specific appliances/fixtures in your house.
I suppose you could check this by running the generator with almost all breakers off in your house. Turn them on one by one until you trip the GFCI. If the thing trips with all breakers off the problem almost certainly has to be elsewhere.
You could also check the leakage current of the wiring in your house. Put a 7-1/2w incand. lamp in series with the ground wire that serves the cable downstream of your GFCI. If the voltage across the bulb reads from 0.6 vac to up to 120vac you've found your leakage path to ground. A normal reading would be less than 15 mVac. Disconnect chunks of the cable or appliances until the leakage current goes away.
The problem of GFCI tripping is that the service panel that you are backfeeding already has its neutral conductor bonded to the grounding conductors.
If these conductors are separately monitored by an integral GFCI device in the generator, it will trip out as soon as you plug it in, even with the interlocking breakers switched off.
Some generators have instructions on how to configure when used as a stand-by power source for a home.
What brand and model number are you dealing with here?
Are you saying the 120v GFI is tripping?
If you are trying to connect your panel to the 120v 20A receptacle on a generator this is a VERY flawed plan. You should be using the 120/240v receptacle on your generator which is not GFI protected.
Your electrician should have know this.
As stated above, almost certainly the generator neutral is bonded to the ground. So is the house. You'll need to remove the bond jumper in the generator.
Also as stated above, it'd be a huge waste of generator capacity to use a 120 volt receptacle to power the house. You can only get 2400 watts through a 20 amp 120 volt receptacle.
Some generators have two pole GFIs though, if the cord that plugs into the generator has 4 prongs on it, then it'll deliver full power to the house. But you'll still need to remove the bonding jumper.
In no case remove the bonding jumper at the house panel. If you do, you'll have no ground-fault protection when on utility.
Where does it say the Gen is 450' away from the house?
That would be 3 houses away for me :laughing:
Thanks everyone for the quick replies. The generator is a Wacker Neuson GPS6600A and I'm using the 12/240v receptacle.
I posted here because I wasn't hearing from the manufacturer. Wouldn't you know, they just replied tonight. Looks like bond or ground jumper is the issue. Below (in italics) is the reply I got from Wacker Neuson.
Thanks for the guidance. It looks like I'm on track now.
The neutral - ground jumper wire on the generator will have to be
removed to prevent the nuisance tripping of the GFCI.
Your house should already have its neutral bonded to ground so this
still meets requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC).
Your Wacker Neuson dealer can sell you a kit p/n 0164835 that contains
these instructions and stick-on labels that warn the generator now has a
floating neutral.
NOTE: If you ever disconnect the generator from the house and use it for
other purposes, you MUST re-connect the neutral - ground jumper on the
If you (or the next owner of the generator) do not intend to re-connect
the generator to the house again... then you may also remove the
floating neutral labels.
Exactly how many generators has this guy wired to not know there is a neutral-ground bond that needs to be removed in the generator. I just don't get it.:whistling2:
I'm going to fire my ghostwriter!
To the OP: you know, there is an implied warranty of merchantability and an implied warranty of fitness. Your electrician must have known what your intention was in buying this generator. Your State's Attorney may persuade the guy to make this right.
In my experience, very few electricians know about neutral bonding of generators. This includes small home-style generators all the way up to huge ones that would run half a city.
Neutral bonding is not all that difficult; in the end there can be exactly one. No more, no less.
With a generator, if the transfer switch doesn't transfer the neutral, the generator cannot be neutral bonded. If it does transfer the neutral (rare, but required in some cases, like hospitals), then it must have its neutral bonded.
Very few people, even electricians with lots of experience, and a multitude of electrical engineers, understand this.
If its an 1800 RPM unit, worth every dime. :wink:
I think it's sweet of the manufacturer to sell you a 'part' that contains nothing but instructions & labels!

So if we work on the basis that we should version these resources and that changing version numbers forces the browser to reload those resources then we can actually gain large performance improvements by explicitly instructing the browser to cache them for an extended period of time (say 10 years) thereby limiting the number of times the browser goes back to check for fresh copies.
This can be achieved fairly easily within the virtual host settings of your Apache conf file. Simply add the following directives within the relevant virtual hosts section substituting /assets/ with the file path corresponding to the location where your CSS, JavaScript and images are stored.
<Location /assets/>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 years"
If you have the mod_deflate module installed then you can gain an additional performance benefit by gzipping CSS and JavaScript resources to reduce the amount transmitted down the wire.
<Location /assets/>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 10 years"
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
These directives can also be added to an appropriately placed .htaccess file but as Stuart explains there are performance implications with this method so it should only be chosen if you don't have access to your Apache conf files (perhaps because you're using shared hosting).
Applying both these settings covers off a couple of recommendations made by Yahoo!'s YSlow performance testing tool so not only will you end up with a faster site but you'll also improve your YSlow rating by a grade or two.
Of course manually versioning files is a pain, it's repetitive and as Stuart is always reminding me manually repetitive tasks should be eliminated wherever possible. In the past I wrote a script which automatically merges CSS or JavaScript files and versions the combined output. Here's some simpler code which versions individual files based their last modified date - every time the file is updated it's version number updates accordingly.
class Version {
private static $aLookup = array();
public static function Get($sFilename) {
if (!array_key_exists($sFilename, self::$aLookup)) {
$sRealPath = realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/$sFilename");
if (file_exists($sRealPath) && ($iTimestamp = filemtime($sRealPath))) {
self::$aLookup[$sFilename] = $iTimestamp;
$sFilename .= "?v=$iTimestamp";
} else {
$sFilename .= '?v='.self::$aLookup[$sFilename];
return $sFilename;
public static function GetLink($sFilename) {
return '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.self::Get($sFilename).'">';
public static function GetScript($sFilename) {
return '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.self::Get($sFilename).'"></script>';
public static function GetImage($sFilename, $iWidth, $iHeight, $sAlt = '') {
return sprintf('<img src="%s" width="%d" height="%d" alt="%s">', self::Get($sFilename), $iWidth, $iHeight, $sAlt);
Download plain text version (Updated version to fix HTTP caching issues)
Using it is pretty simple - wrap the required function around the file path you'd normally have supplied to link, script or img tags.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo Version::Get('/css/dark.css'); ?>">
In fact it's even easier than that - I've also provided some wrapper functions which make outputting link, script and img tags a little bit easier. The example above could be written more simply as follows:
<?php echo Version::GetLink('/css/dark.css'); ?>

Towards a Classification and Lifecycle of Business Process Change
Ploesser, Karsten, Recker, Jan C., & Rosemann, Michael (2008) Towards a Classification and Lifecycle of Business Process Change. In Nurcan, Selmin, Schmidt, Rainer, Soffer, Pnina, Hunt, Ela, Franch, Xavier, & Coletta, Remi (Eds.) 9th Workshop on Business Process Modeling, Development and Support, June 16-17, 2008, Montpellier, France.

Business processes in dynamic environments are often subject to disruptions, forcing organizations to change their processes. This gives rise to the question how and when such process change should be considered during the process lifecycle and how it could be anticipated in order to decrease response time. In line with recent proposals to study the extrinsic drivers of process change, we seek the reasons for modifications outside the typical process environment and derive several process change strategies. Future work will describe the relation between external events and these strategies to yield ameliorated and truly flexible process designs.

Ali Lohan Is Scary Thin
Ali Lohan is looking scary thin!
The younger sister of Lindsay Lohan was spotted looking extra skinny as she vacationed in Hawaii. There also have been rumors of plastic surgery because she looks so different than she did just last year. However she shot down those rumors by telling Page Six, "I was cracking up. Because, like, when would I do that? I'm 17 years old. That's not legal! I would need my mother's signature, and do you think my mom would ever sign off on that? No!"
Do you think Ali Lohan is too thin? (Flynet)

Fashionistas beware: Andy vs. Goliath -- Hathaway is the "Devil"'s advocate
PopcornReel.com Film Review: "The Devil Wears Prada"
By Omar P.L. Moore/June 29, 2006
Set in New York City, one of the fashion capitals of the
planet, the fictional Runway Magazine has an editor-in-chief who puts
perfection in her work above and beyond everything else in life. For the
fastidious Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) fashion and clothing lines come
first, her twin daughters a close second, and married life (two divorces) a
distant third. She is the creme-de-la-creme of the fashion world.
When it comes to fashion and all things couture-related "Miranda's opinion is
the only one that counts," Priestly's long-time right-hand man Nigel (Stanley
Tucci) advises early on to new assistant Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) a
newly-minted college graduate. Andy initially has to survive the
treacle-to-ice-cold temperament of first-assistant Emily (the terrific Emily
Blunt), who is almost as outrageous a personality as Priestly is.
Andy however, turns things around with Nigel's help and does
her job terrifically, which for Miranda is never good enough. Andy changes
her exterior wear and her interior and predictably her new demeanor alienates
her boyfriend Nate (Adrian Grenier) and her best friend Lilly (Tracie Thoms).
Andy rises and starts doing things she never dreamed of. She encounters a
renowned writer in Christian Thompson (Simon Baker) who charms her long enough
to keep her mind off Nate. Mr. Baker's mysterious looking eyebrows in his
initial appearance on screen may or may not tip off viewers, but he seems a
little out of place in the story written by Aline Brosh McKenna (based on Ms.
Weisberger's novel.) Perhaps his character, who is integral in saving
Andy's hide on one occasion, should have had reduced billing. Mr. Baker
isn't distracting, he simply is more of an addendum to the film than any
punctuation that it needs. In other words, he is in "Prada" what many
women typically are in Hollywood films dominated by male stars: window dressing.
Stanley Tucci is also superb as Nigel, a man who has toiled for some 18 years
(most of them tough) under Miranda as her number two, and has managed to stay
around long enough to experience the whimsical nature of Priestly. He has
survived not just because of his fashion knowledge but has played politics
almost as well as his boss has. He looks for a promotion and Miranda looks
at an opportunity. Mr. Tucci is an actor who has one of the best resumes
around and specializes in character portrayals. Though he would
undoubtedly thrive as a breakout A-list film actor, he appears content to shine
just below that echelon, and in "Devil" his acting is a blessing. Last but
not least, Anne Hathaway grows into the role of Andy -- the circumstances that
come her way here allow her to react and elevate her performance. Other
stars could have been superior in the role, but the fact that Ms. Hathaway is
growing as an actor in her own right from "The Princess Diaries" to fare like "Brokeback
Mountain" and now to this film, shows that she is coming-of-age onscreen.
Her emergence from neophyte status is critical to the relationship of Andy and
Miranda, and augments the film.

I noticed that I have many > scripts in rc0.d that do not run, or at least i can not get them to run > at shutdown. Can someone enlighten me as to what causes a stop to run > on shutdown? Thanks to Fred for the hint in the right direction. The problem it seems is an undocumented feature of the /etc/rc.d/rc script. Let me explain. In the rc script, there is this code: # First, run the KILL scripts. for i in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/K* ; do check_runlevel "$i" || continue # Check if the subsystem is already up. subsys=${i#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/K??} [ -f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys -o -f /var/lock/subsys/$subsys.init ] \ || continue # Bring the subsystem down. if egrep -q "(killproc |action )" $i ; then $i stop else action $"Stopping $subsys: " $i stop fi done So as you can see, the "stop" action is called ONLY if 1) the K* script exists AND 2) there is a lock file in the /var/locl/subsys that is the name of the script being ran. I, in my ignorance, had a lock file called "jetty", not "jettyctl" Question to the sages: Why? If the lock file is so important to the success or failure of the execution of the script, then why not have the rc script write the lock file? Thanks. -- Brian Millett - Technologist Rex 'But you killed ten thousand Narns.' "I didn't know you cared. Ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, what's the difference?

I loved this issue! PAD has done a masterful job of bringing Pietro out of the depth he descended to in Son of M.
I haven't been able to get to the comics shop because I have two finals tomorrow, but I saw the scans on scans_daily.
"I'm freaking Quicksilver, and you can eat my freaking dust!!"
AWESOME! I mean bounce up and down in your seat Awesome.
Big thumbs up to PAD.
As to why he has his powers back, I don't think it's from the terrigen crystals because they are his speed powers, not time ones. Layla's hints also discount Wanda's involvement. So either he never lost them, or reality is quietly reasserting itself.
I mean think about it, we have a universe in which Eternity is a sentient being. Don't you think it might have taken issue with a mutant reworking it just to "get back at Daddy"?

Holden has surprised the Sydney Motor Show with a $1 million hatchback concept car, upstaging arch-rival Ford with yesterday's unveiling.
The future of the Commodore SSX now lies with the public, in much the same way the Monaro show car did three years ago.
Departing from Holden's preference for large sedans, the SSX is the company's first hatchback since the Torana and Sunbird of the 1970s. It also gives a glimpse of better-handling Commodores, with an all-wheel-drive system for more grip and improved safety.
The one-off show-stopper, with a price tag around $50,000, could catapult Holden into more export markets, including Europe.
"We're asking questions with this show car," Holden design boss Mike Simcoe said. "We want people to tell us if a flexible performance vehicle like this is something they'd like to see in a few years."
Holden chairman and managing director Peter Hanenberger said the SSX could be built within two years. "We first want to check what's going on, what feedback we get here, see how people respond," he said.
Like most show cars, the SSX contains elements, such as the digital screen on the dash, that are expected to be used on future models.
The SSX had some industry pundits suggesting a retro revival of the classic Torana, although Holden was quick to point out that the SSX has five doors, two more than the old favourite.
"It's not the classical hatch like the Vectra: it's an in-between crossover," Mr Hanenberger said. "SSX is our vision of the future. It is the cream of our Australian design and engineering expertise channelled into a car of world class standard."
Mr Hanenberger also dismissed a revival of the Torana name although he admitted the SSX would not wear a Commodore badge.
More significantly, the SSX concept is the showcase for a new all-wheel-drive system that will be fitted across a range of Commodores - as well as the Monaro and various HSVs - in the short term. It is powered by a 5.7-litre V8 and has a wider wheel track.
"It heralds a family of low ride height, inspirational all-wheel-drive niche products that could become a reality in less than two years," Mr Hanenberger said.
Ford used yesterday's opening to unveil its 21st-century Falcon GT, reviving a name not used since 1997. The GT features a 290-kilowatt, 5.4-litre V8 engine.

Forensic Science
What is Forensic Science?
Forensic science uses a multi-faceted approach to criminal investigation focusing on the identification, collection, and analysis of evidence which can link a suspect to the crime. Whether it's physical evidence such as biometric identifiers, bodily fluids, ballistics, markings, or other types, forensic science plays a critical role in processing evidence for use in criminal prosecution. It utilizes principles and applications from many disciplines including the natural and social sciences and law. For this reason, our programs incorporate courses from biology, chemistry, criminal justice, and anthropology.
Forensic Science study at East Carolina University
Two forensic science study programs are offered including a multidisciplinary Bachelor of Science degree and Minor in Forensic Science. Our students learn forensic science in the classroom, laboratory, and mock crime scene where they explore each aspect in the processing of criminal evidence. Our courses are taught by highly qualified faculty using many of the same methods and tools found in modern law enforcement agencies and crime laboratories.
Bachelor of Science (forensic science concentration)
The Multidisciplinary Bachelor of Science (forensic science concentration) is a 123 semester hour degree program, which includes courses in anthropology, biology, chemistry, and criminal justice. It follows recommendations of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and focuses on the scientific analysis of criminal evidence in a laboratory setting.
For more information visit http://www.ecu.edu/cs-cas/just/forensics.cfm or contact program director Dr. Anthony Kennedy in the Department of Chemistry at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Minor in Forensic Science
The Minor in Forensic Science is a 24-26 semester hour program which focuses on criminal investigation, crime scene investigation, and the management of criminal evidence. It's one of the Minors offered by the Department of Criminal Justice but students also take specific courses in forensic anthropology, anatomy and physiology, and organic chemistry. Our forensic science laboratory is equipped with modern-day instruments and computer software so students are learning current investigative applications. Whether it's digital fingerprint scanning, computerized facial reconstruction, 3-D crime scene sketching, digital blood pattern mapping, chemical processing of bodily fluids, alternate light sources, crime scene photography, comparative evidence examination, or latent fingerprint identification, the lab has the tools necessary for students to learn each facet of criminal investigation.
The Forensic Science Minor requires 24 to 26 semester hours of credit in the following:
|JUST 1000 Introduction to Criminal Justice
JUST 3007 Criminal Investigation
JUST 3020 Introduction to Forensic Science
JUST 3022 Crime Scene Investigation

Busy Hands: Yarn Roller Printing
This is a simple process-driven art that creates beautiful patterns. It can be done by kids of all ages, but preschoolers may find it particularly appealing since they have the skills to do it themselves. The technique is similar to what we did with our Cardboard Tube Printmaking activity, which was fun too!
Here's how we did the Yarn Roller Printing art activity:
1. Wrap synthetic yarn/wool around a cardboard tube. You'll need one at least as big as a kitchen paper towel roll. I think synthetic yarn works better because it won't absorb too much of the paint as real wool would.
2. Wrap it around the tube, leaving space at both ends to hold it. Your child may need help wrapping it tightly in the beginning. In the end, simply tuck it in.
3. Use a brush to paint different colours on the yarn-wrapped tube. You can also put paint in a tray and roll the tube in it, for a single colour.
4. Hold tightly with both hands and push down slightly while rolling on paper to make the prints.
I love how the print came out! You can use the artwork to make greeting cards, canvas art for the wall, or wrapping paper.
Busy Hands is a series about activities and craft
you can do with toddlers and young children.
