Continuing their statewide listening tour, Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) director Christine Baker and Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) administrative director Rosa Moran received an earful at their first stop in Southern California. Injured workers, employers and carrier representatives all lamented the fact that too many disputes are developing around treatment decisions which are delaying care and increasing costs.
Employers also raised concerns about the rapid increase in the number of cumulative trauma claims that are coming into the system, particularly in post-termination situations (see tomorrow's edition of Workers' Comp Executive for additional information on this development). Some also lamented the lack of control exhibited by some workers' comp judges that may be causing cases to drag on unnecessarily, but others applauded the administration's move to improve the performance of WCJs going forward through a reintroduction of statewide training programs for the judges.
Baker and Moran traveled to Southern California for a pair of public meetings before turning back north for a forum in Fresno on Wednesday. Additional meetings will be held this month in the Inland Empire, San Diego County and Oakland.
The Los Angeles meeting drew well over 100 attendees and several dozen offered oral testimony for the official record. The department is also collecting testimony electronically through its firstname.lastname@example.com e-mail account. As of the end of last week more than 80 comments had been submitted electronically and officials say they will accept comments and suggestions for reforms via e-mail at least through the end of the month.
The Department is looking for suggestions on how to restore the balance between benefits and costs. DIR director Baker noted that the last round of reforms in 2003/2004 came about because California's workers' comp system had deteriorated to the point that it was the highest cost system in the nation. The Golden State has made progress but is still the fifth most expensive system, Baker says. "We've had time to evaluate and perhaps we need to make some changes again to create a better balance in the system," she told the attendees.
Noting the rapid increase in claims involving cumulative trauma -- especially claims filed post-termination -- attorney Stu Baron urged the department to consider reforms that would bring these claims more in line with the evidence standards for psych or stress claims. As it stands, he maintains that disgruntled employees are abusing the process for CT claims and are attempting to circumvent legitimate personnel decisions by filing the actions. "When an employee who is hired to do a job that produces no discernible injuries and who has been laid off for legitimate non-discriminatory reasons is able to work around the system by claiming a cumulative injury, then it is time to reassess the value of this section of the labor code," he testified.
Others on both sides of the claim also raised concerns about the current process for resolving medical disputes, which often involves lengthy delays until a workers' comp judge with no medical training can ultimately rule on the issue.
Candice Rushing, an injured worker, testified that she will likely burn through her 104 weeks of temporary disability benefits before she even has surgery on her injured knee let alone is well enough to return to work. She maintains that unnecessary delays in authorization are exacerbating the severity of her injury and endangering her ability to recover.
PacificComp's Joyce Schulman's testimony echoed the sentiment that medical decisions should be made by medical personnel without undue delay. She questioned why workers' comp judges are making medical decisions at all.
She suggested a system mirroring what is common in the group health arena. "I believe that rather than a dispute process where we have to go to an AME/QME that all medical disputes should be resolved by independent medical review," she says, maintaining that the AME/QME process is broken. "I think the doctors are trying to please payors and if we go to an IME process where one doctor is generated from the state and makes all the determinations on disability we would all be in a better place."
The road show continues this morning with a public forum in Garden Grove. Stay tuned for additional coverage.

Ohio State Year Two Overview: 1989
Coach: John Cooper
Previous season record (finish): 4-6-1, 2-5-1 Big Ten (seventh)
Notable players:
Returning starters included quarterback Greg Frey, offensive linemen Jeff Davidson and Joe Staysniak, tailback Carlos Snow and defensive backs Vinnie Clark, David Brown and Zack Dumas. New starters included Jeff Graham and Greg Beatty at wide receiver, Alonzo Spellman at linebacker and Mark "Bo" Pelini at safety. The captains were Staysniak, Davidson, Dumas and Brown along with linebacker Derek Isaman. Staysniak and Davidson were named first-team All-Big Ten, and Staysniak also earned Academic All-America honors.
Notable games:
The Buckeyes opened the season with a 37-13 win over Oklahoma State at home then went to Los Angeles and were annihilated by No. 12 USC 42-3. The Trojans outgained the Buckeyes 491 to 223, and redshirt freshman quarterback Todd Marinovich threw four touchdown passes. They bounced back to beat Boston College in Columbus 34-29 but then lost decisively at No. 18 Illinois by a 34-14 count in a game that was marred by four Ohio State turnovers.
A trip to Minnesota on Oct. 28 proved to be a memorable one. The Buckeyes made every mistake in the book in the first half against Minnesota while falling into a 31-0 hole but rallied for the second-biggest comeback in major college football history. Snow ran for a touchdown and Frey completed a two-point conversion pass to Jeff Graham to start the comeback with 10 seconds remaining in the second quarter, then Frey threw three touchdowns passes and ran for a fourth in the second half as the Buckeyes made their comeback. The Gophers kicked two field goals after intermission, but that was not enough as Frey hit Graham from 15-yards out for the game-winning points with :51 left in the game. Ohio State prevailed 41-37.
In the home finale against Wisconsin, Ohio State piled up 458 total yards on offense and the Buckeyes won 42-22. It was a good day for the Buckeye secondary as Brown returned an interception 43 yards for a touchdown and Wisconsin was 0 for 8 passing. That is the last time a Big Ten team has failed to complete at least one pass in a game.
Other developments:
They started the winning streak with a 35-31 win over an Indiana squad that was riding a two-game winning streak in the series and boasted the nation's leading rusher in Anthony Thompson. Cooper's Buckeyes more resembled Hayes' men of the scarlet and gray while rushing 52 times for 253 yards. For the second time in three games, Snow (27 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown) and Graham (16/124/2) both topped the century mark. Frey threw only 6 passes but completed 5, including touchdown passes of 2 and 4 yards to tight end Jim Palmer. Thompson ran for 177 yards on 34 carries for Indiana.
The running game was really rolling again three weeks later as the Buckeyes beat Northwestern 52-27. For the first time in 19 years, three Ohio State backs ran for at least 100 yards apiece in the same game – Snow (100 yards), Graham (102) and Dante Lee (157) – and the Buckeyes piled up 456 yards total on the ground.
Snow ran for 990 yards on 190 carries to lead the Buckeyes in rushing for the second season in a row. He averaged 5.2 yards per carry and scored 11 touchdowns. Scottie Graham added 977 yards on 183 carries and scored seven touchdowns. Jeff Graham led the team with 608 yards on 32 catches while Frey competed 144 of 246 passes for 2,132 yards and eight touchdowns.
Isaman made a team-leading 88 tackles in his return after a year off to pursue an Olympic boxing career. He was named team MVP.
How'd it end up?
After the loss to the Fighting Illini on Oct. 7, the Buckeyes won six in a row to return to the national top 25 and set up a showdown with No. 3 Michigan.
Ohio State came up on the wrong end of a 28-18 decision at Ohio Stadium, but the BSB account of the game noted Cooper's post-demeanor was not like the previous eight he had suffered as head coach of the Buckeyes. While not accepting defeat, Cooper seemed at peace with his team's effort.
"We played hard," the second-year Ohio State coach said after the Wolverines denied the Buckeyes a share of the Big Ten title. "We gave it everything we had and made it a good, interesting game. Let's give Michigan a lot of credit. We lost to a great football team today."
Ohio State outgained Michigan in total yards but a late Buckeye comeback attempt was snuffed out when Todd Plate intercepted a Frey pass intended for Beatty in Michigan territory in the fourth quarter.
The third-place finish in the Big Ten race earned the Buckeyes an invitation to the Hall of Fame Bowl in Tampa, Fla., where they lost 31-14 to No. 9 Auburn as Tigers quarterback Reggie Slack accounted for four touchdowns.
The bowl defeat dropped Ohio State's final record to 8-4 overall and 6-2 in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes finished ranked No. 24 in the AP polled.
Look for a more expansive look at the second seasons of Ohio State's head coaches of the past eight decades in the next print edition of Buckeye Sports Bulletin.

SAN FRANCISCO – Ryan Howard was a Rookie of the Year and an MVP even as an overweight first baseman with a questionable glove. Now that he has improved both his conditioning and his fielding, the Phillies found it easier to justify investing more than $100 million on him.
Howard's enhanced dedication to his craft was one of the factors behind Philadelphia's decision to give Howard the biggest contract in franchise history, a five-year extension worth $125 million.
"He's worked on his defense. He's worked on his body. He's worked in a variety of ways to make himself a more complete player,'' general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "He has a special attribute with his power and his run production that not many in the history of the game have been able to accomplish, but yet, he continues to try to work to be a better player.''
Howard, 30, averaged 44 home runs and 127 RBI in his five full seasons beginning with his rookie year of 2005. Last year he joined Babe Ruth, Ken Griffey Jr. and Sammy Sosa as the only players ever to hit at least 40 homers and drive in at least 130 runs in four consecutive seasons.
The new deal kicks in after Howard's current three-year, $54 million contract expires following the 2011 season. That's when fellow star first basemen Albert Pujols, Adrian Gonzalez and Prince Fielder could hit the free agent market.
Howard said that didn't enter into his thinking.
"I know all of us were going to be free agents around the same time, but this decision was based more for myself,'' he said. "I wasn't trying to live off what Albert might get or what Prince might get. Just trying to go out and kind of look out for myself in this situation. I wanted to stay in Philadelphia. I've had fun here. The fans have been great, the organization has been great.''
Listed as 6-4 and 255 pounds, Howard engaged in a conditioning program the last two offseasons that helped him drop more than 20 pounds and improved his agility. Last year he committed 14 errors, still high for a first baseman but down from 19 the previous season.
He also has been durable, playing in at least 159 games in three of the last four seasons.
"I wish I had started (the training program) when I was 25,'' Howard said. "It's been an eye-opener for me, just learning different things about my body and the type of preparation it takes. Playing 162 games and the playoffs and World Series can take a serious toll on your body. But you can ask any of my teammates, at the end of the season, I felt great.''

Have you ever had an idea that you wanted to work so badly, you managed to drown out all the very logical reasons it might go wrong with one single thought: Man, this is going to be awesome! Allow me to introduce you to my idea: Candy Corn Cake.
Me and Candy Corn Cake, we were destined for greatness. It all started with a spree of cake successes. An epic rainbow cake. A festive German flag cake. A 6-layer pumpkin and chocolate cake with chai buttercream frosting (no picture available, due to me making it for my own birthday party, then dropping the majority of it on the floor after a few too many vodka tonics). I got greedy. I needed more pretty cakes! With Halloween just around the corner, candy corn was the perfect choice. I'd get me a bundt pan, divide a white cake batter into thirds, dye one yellow and one orange, then layer them all—white, orange, yellow—in the pan. For the first two layers, I'd stick the pan in the freezer, just to get the batter to stiffen up enough to keep the following layer from displacing it. Then I'd bring it back to room temperature, pop it in the oven, and an hour later, out would come Candy Corn Cake! Maybe I'd even go all out and cut it down into a more triangular shape before frosting. And then . . . then . . . I'd reveal Candy Corn Cake to the world! Fellow cake-lovers would marvel. Babies would squeal with delight. Even the grumpiest of old men would stoically nod and declare, "now that's a cake."

Ack....regular gas added to diesel X35d
Daughter accidently added 8 gallons of regular fuel to my X5 35d. After realizing what she had done, she immediately stopped pumping and called me. We had the car towed to the local dealership. The car was never started.
Dealer wants $1200 to flush & clean the tank, replace fuel filter, a rubber gasket and the fuel pump....
why would I need to replace the fuel pump if the car was never started?
many thanks....jd
Why take a chance, change the fuel pump too. This might also be a candidate for the comprensive section of your insurance policy. Check that out, it could save you a bunch of bucks. It will NOT be covered under warranty! Too bad, good lesson for the daughter, but a costly one.:cry:
Are they aware that it wasn't started with the gasoline in the car? Should just be a matter of draining and refueling with diesel, nothing like a 1200 charge. Can you call around to other dealerships?
thanks for the quick feed back....i did call another dealer and they said if the car wasn't started then the fuel pump doesn't need to be replaced. Now I guess I need to know if the current dealer drove the car into the bay. I gave explicit instructions not to start the car.
How did she get the gasoline nozzle to fit into the fuel opening? Isn't the interlock suppose to prevent the gasoline nozzle from fitting? If the interlock is defective, you might be able to make a case for BMW to provide some goodwill and pick-up part of the cost.
Glad it was your daughter, and not your wife.
Joking of course. I certainly hope things turn out okay for you. Good luck.
I know someone who did the same to Toyota RAV4. How it happened? Well, that gas station had both hoses next to each other. The diesel hose didn't fit well, but the person was able to just hold the trigger and fill 1/4 tank. Toyota's tank design allowed some part of the hose to get in. Anyway, there was already 1/4 tank of gas, so the mixture was 50/50. She drove for some time, but the car choked eventually. Toyota dealer took $800 to evacuate fuel and clean out fuel lines (blow air through them). They didn't change fuel filter or anything else. The car is fine (gotta love Toyota for that at least). However, I think putting in gas into diesel might be a more serious offense.
pics of said daughter and wife to determine if I would be mad!
Wasn't it not to long back that you could mix regular gas with diesel to prevent diesel sludge in very cold temperatures? Given the correct mixture of course; not like 50/50. The old diesel engines used to be able to handle that. But then a lot has changed with the modern diesel engines.
Hope it wont be too bad and that they listened to you and didnt' start the engine!
You shoulda just filled the rest with diesel then drove it to the dealership and told them the engine sounds weird and you need them to take a look - deny any wrongdoing from that point forward. JK of course ;)
Wait I thought the nozzles are different and won't fit???
Here is similar story, I would have gone with solution A
" have just undergone this problem; I accidentally put Gas in my VW Jetta TDI 2011 Diesel Engine, I have had it for about a month, bought it brand new last Christmas, and this mistake happened me owning the car for less than a week, talk about Bad Luck. Had I known what I know now from my experience, I would have saved myself a lot of money. Not to mention avoid the scam of the dealership and the mental agony. I feel obligated to share my experience with you all, so you can get this problem fixed without the horrendous cost to you. This is for cars or trucks that are still under Dealer Warranty or have Full coverage Insurance.
Having put gas in my Diesel engine, I drove the car from the Gas station to my home which is about 5 miles, then I realized the mistake but it was too late. I called the dealership and told them my mishap and I was sent over a tow truck at no cost and was told ?it is not a big deal? bring it over we will fix it. Scam #1: This is NOT covered under warranty. Having Gotten to the VW dealership, I was told all we have to do is drain the Tank and replace the Filter and I will be good to Go; Scam # 2, you have to suck out the Gas from the lines, if need be use a compressor to suck it out, Drain the Tank and change the Filter is only good if you have NOT driven the car, once driven, this is almost never help full. The dealer made my car ready and charged me $650, before I could get home the car had its Coil light on and was not catching any speed. . I went back to the dealer and they said let us do it again as there may be some particles left, charged me another $650 (Total out of my pocket $1300). This did not fix it and I went back to the dealer and they said it is all messed up and gave me an estimate of $9950 which will NOT be covered by the warranty. Below is what I did, which the VW dealer said cannot be done (I claimed it on my insurance), but before you do that ready below Solution A, it is a better route than what I did.
Here are the steps you need to take:
Solution A:
1. Do NOT drive the car as soon as you realize
2. Tow the car right away to a ?NON-DEALER? Independent Diesel Mechanic or shop, do NOT use Roadside assistance, or else the Dealer at some point can nail you for it as that record is shared with the Dealership, Pay Cash from your pocket and an independently owned tow company, not even AAA.
3. Tow the car to a ?NON-DEALER? Independent Diesel Mechanic or shop and clean up the Tank, usually should not cost more than $300 and this should fix the problem 9/10 times if you have not driven the car and 5/10 times if you have driven the car.
4. If the car is not fixed at the mechanic?s place at this point, then Tow the car back to your Home (Assuming it does not drive at all) this is imperative, however Ask the mechanic or shop to clean out all the Gas 100% regardless of if it is fixed or not.
5. If the car drives, fill up the tank with Diesel and drive at least 1 full tank, so all traces of Gas are gone.
6. Assuming the car is not fixed or barely fixed or not satisfied with the way it drives, then call the dealership while your car is at home and tell them your problem, DO NOT Mention you put ?GAS? or else the warranty will NOT Cover and the dealer will love to scam you. Just mention the problem and ?You don?t know how it happened, it just did?. This time use the Roadside assistance of the Dealership and tow the car to the dealership or drive the car to the dealership if it drives and let them do what it takes to fix it. Remember don?t be a ?Smarty Pants? and let the dealership fix it, less knowledge is wise at this point. No Matter how much they say that there is Gas in there, remember you know nothing about this, they will try to make this into a ?NON-Warranty? and try to make you pay for it. As far as you are concerned ?The car is not working or working right and it is an engine problem, So FIX IT DAMN IT? put up a fight (Verbal) if need be and ultimately by law they have to fix it as this can never be proven, it could be the gas station has contaminated diesel or whatever, not your business. Be strong and smart or dumb whatever works.
Solution B:
Assuming you were an idiot like me, and believed in ?Honesty the best policy?, then be ready to pay the price of honesty all the way to $10K, I am not rich and can barely make payments for the car, house, and ?wife?, so here is what I did, having told the dealer 100% about the exact situation and to the minute details of what had happened.
1. Even though my Insurance agent advised me against it and the internet did not speak about this, the dealer said: ?I have seen it numerous time, it will never happen, the insurance company will never pay?. The car was sitting at the dealership for over 3 weeks now, I figured what do I have to loose, (I have full coverage with Farmers) I called my insurance company. Believe me when I say, this was the easiest claim I ever filed; ?a walk in the park? could not be easier. I was told I have to pay the deductible, and the adjuster went to go look at it, paid the dealership close to $10K and my car was fixed just as good as new. And Yes, I told the Insurance Company the whole scenario as to exactly how it happened taking full responsibility of the ?accidental fuel contamination? (Key word for insurance claim). This can be done through your full coverage Insurance if Solution A above is not your option.
Good Luck, Its Pay Back Time Dealerships."
One more thing
"Prevention: better than cure
Some new diesel cars make it virtually impossible to fill up with gasoline. Since BMW launched its clean-diesel 335d and X5 models in the U.S. last year, they have all been fitted with a standard "mis-fueling protection device."
2009 Mercedes-Benz M Class 3.0L BlueTecEnlarge Photo
BMW's prevention device is a special mechanism in the filler neck that requires the larger-diameter diesel nozzle to trigger a mechanism that unlocks to open a flap to permit fueling. Hoses for unleaded gasoline have a smaller diameter, and and cannot trip the catch that operates the device.
Audi has developed a similar system that it will fit to its 2011 diesel models. In the States, those are the A3 TDI compact hatchback and the Q7 TDI sport utility vehicle.
At least one similar device, known as Diesel Key Europe, is available as an aftermarket accessory in Europe. It can be installed by the car owner, says the company, and also has the secondary benefit of preventing siphoning by fuel thieves."
This is consistent with what I've read in the past...$1,000+ if the engine wasn't started and $2,000+ if it was.This is why I'm the *only* one who puts fuel into my "d".Before I allow anyone else to drive it I make sure it has more than enough fuel for their purposes and then instruct them...*beg* them...not to stop for fuel.
Funny story, when I was in Germany last year I rented a diesel mercedes and my friends accidentally returned the car putting regular gas in it and drove it two miles to the rental car return. They never called me or anything maybe because I bought the extra insurance
My wife and I are the only people who will fuel the D, but I suspect it will be mostly me. While I am confident I will not make this mistake (few of us who buy this car on purpose will), I acted all anxious over whether I would make this mistake, mentioning it at least 10 times before taking my wife to the gas station and having her fill the first tank, with me watching. I pointed out to her the green pump handle, the green inside the fuel door, the two labels there, etc. We've also discussed ad nauseam the sound the car makes (it's our first diesel) because it's a diesel. I also make it a point to draw her attention to other diesels on the road (mostly large trucks of course).
I think/hope she gets the point by now. Like listerone above, I will probably make sure that it has enough gas, I mean diesel, before she drives it. Longer trips will be together and I will use them as further acclimation opportunities.
To OP: sorry for your mishap. Remember, it's only money... lots of worse things can happen when cars and youngsters are involved.
I ALMOST had a similar issue outside of Paris 3 years ago - stopping for gas for the 335i, and I see "gaszol" in an orange handle. I swipe my card, pull the pump to the car, and notice it doesn't fit. I try every which way, and ALMOST came to the point where I was going to just hold the handle partially in and pump very slowly (it was 4 am, and we were on a toll road, so there were limited resources). Instead, I walked into the station, and asked why the nozzle didn't fit - and he pointed me to the 2 green gas "petrol" nozzles on the other side of the station.
Now that being said, that's the only time I've ever come close to being confused.. in the US, most all diesel pumps have large signs next to the pump.. but with that adapter, any nozzle will fit unfortunately. There is no fail safe with it, except for the human brain. Expensive lesson to learn - I try to always be the person to fill up the d, as not all pumps auto shut off, and I can't stand having to clean up the mess if it doesn't shut off.
sorry that happened...I hope to hear good news about the rest of this!

The WW2 sniping game, where players take on the role as a sniper, now moves to Africa, fighting the German Afrika Korps. Players assume the role of American OSS Agent Karl Fairburne, who goes behind enemy lines in Africa to take out high ranking Germans.
The game will feature its signature "kill cam", where players can see the bullet slow motion as it makes its way to the enemy (and tears them apart). It will also feature a more open, sandbox styled gameplay, where players can freely choose how to approach each mission. Sniper Elite 3 will be out on the PlayStation 4 and other platforms in 2014.

Hi all
With the settings I've made, that you can read here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=129872 I've succesfully made menu sounds via HDMI working. My setup is an Sapphire HD2 (geForce ION2) connected to a Denon AVR-2310 HT. The Denon is a 7.1 dolby HT decoder with HDMI switch (5 in 1 out) with bypass feature. This means that if the Denon is tunerd off the HDMI is bypasses to the attached TV.
Now, I've installed XBMC 11.0 on a Ubuntu 11.10 minimal. Everything worked until yesterday, when I found that the menu sounds weren't reproduced by the Denon anymore, BUT they are played fine by the TV if I bypass (turn off) the Denon!
I haven't made any modification to my system, BUT I have enabled the automatic updates. I don't know what "automatic" means in the minimal installation of Ubuntu, but I'm suspecting that some updates broke something. MP3, Youtube, video (both passthrough and decode) audio sitll works PERFECTLY.
It's like that the menu sounds format has been changed and not recognized by the Denon... speaker-test shows the same behaviour
Do you know what should I check?
Linux - Unable to reproduce XBMC HDMI menu sounds in Home Teather

no WAY, i'm scared to do this to my car. I can't do DIY, i would love to, but i'm afraid to
I took the bumper off of my V2 to Plasti-Dip the mesh grilles. It's really not that hard. It's all clips, just do it in a process.
ok i think im going to attempt this headlight conversion to give the luxury package the same LED look as the premium package. does anyone know where i can get a set of performance or premium headlights and foglights?
i saw headlights on ebay they were close to $1000 for both and one fog ligth was $300
And we've come full circle...
anybody tried to call the Cadillac Dealership they bought their car from and ask if you they can add the lights on their Standard or Luxary Trim?
You all shoulda gotten a performance edition for a few dollars more (the extras far exceed the couple thousand difference) or the Premium....just sayin'
if it was few dollars more we all would have had one more like $5k more
few dollars? do you have any idea how big of a difference it is? especially payment wise? if it was few dollars more like romanats said we all would have got the performeance/premium...

December 4, 2016 International Human Rights Day celebrations kicked off this weekend with a march in Kampong Chhnang and gatherings in Phnom Penh.
In Kampong Chhnang, about 250 people from Lor Peang, Samrong, Buntheay Meas, Savong and Boeung Kak communities from around the province - which have all been affected by land conflicts - were joined by monks, NGOs and other groups for the five-kilometre march, which ended with a public forum on human rights. In Phnom Penh, about 100 people from Boeung Chhouk and Damnak Trayoeung communities also gathered to celebrate with community-wide forums on human rights, including calling for the release of imprisoned human rights defenders.
The celebrations were among the first in a series of events celebrating IHRD across the country which will take place over the next week.

We, the undersigned civil society organizations, write to His Excellency Mr. Suy Sem, the Minister of Mines and Energy, to request clarification regarding sand exported overseas by Cambodia from 2007 to 2015. A Ministry spokesman has been quoted as saying that Cambodia's global sand exports amounted to just over 17 million tons between 2007 and 2015. However, the only official export data issued to date by the Cambodian government in relation to sand exports, from the Ministry of Commerce, only discloses sand exports to Singapore for the same period, totaling about 2.8 million tons. The Cambodian government is yet to explain to which other countries it is exporting sand to, or at what price this sand is being sold for.
December 17, 2015
To celebrate International Human Rights Day (IHRD), about 10,000 people from rural and urban communities participated in 20 marches and events across the country from December 6 to December 10. These were organized by the informal network Friends of December 10th, which includes youth, land communities, associations, farmers, monks, and NGOs. On December 10, groups peacefully marched from various locations in Phnom Penh toward the Ministry of Justice to demand that the government resolve Cambodia's land conflict epidemic; reform the judicial system and release human rights defenders and activists; raise the minimum wage and respect labour rights; end state-sponsored violence; and respect freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly. This year's IHRD theme was 'Justice'.
December 4, 2015
Thousands of Cambodians in 16 provinces will gather to celebrate the 67th International Human Rights Day (IHRD), culminating in a joint celebration in Phnom Penh on December 10. From December 6 onward, grassroots groups such as communities affected by land conflicts, youth networks, associations, and monks as well as unions and NGOs across the country will hold a series of celebrations under an overall theme of 'Justice'.
November 20, 2015
Today marks the 26th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The Cambodian government ratified the CRC on October 15, 1992, thus guaranteeing the protection and promotion of the four main baskets of rights of children in Cambodia: "the right to survival; to develop to the fullest; to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and to participate fully in family, cultural and social life."
In the spirit of the CRC, the Child Protection Group (CPG) network, with support from LICADHO, is releasing a storybook video: "The Last Day of Lang Reng." This fictional work voices the concerns of young Cambodians regarding the rapid deforestation and environmental destruction they see taking place across their country.
October 5, 2015
This morning, over 1,400 community members, monks and grassroots groups from across Cambodia gathered in Phnom Penh to celebrate the 30th World Habitat Day and to call on authorities to respect Cambodian people's right to housing.

ADHOC, LICADHO and CLEC are outraged by the detention of 17 protestors, NGO staff and media workers in Koh Kong's provincial police station and call for their immediate release. The 17 were detained in the midst of a gathering calling for a solution to Chi Khor Krom community's land conflict. The gathering involved 50 youths and land activists who had also participated in daily peaceful protests against the arrest and imprisonment of three activists from NGO Mother Nature since August 19.

In March 2003, the Cambodian government unveiled a potentially progressive land policy with the aim of transferring land to landless and poor Cambodians – Social Land Concessions (SLCs). LICADHO recently investigated a $13 million SLC project, called LASED, that was implemented by the Cambodian government with support from the World Bank and the German development agency GIZ. In direct contrast with the rosy conclusions reported by both agencies, LICADHO found that the project largely failed to benefit rural poor Cambodians.
June 24, 2015
In March 2003, the Cambodian government unveiled a potentially progressive policy with the aim of transferring land to landless and poor Cambodians – Social Land Concessions (SLCs). However, some of the first SLCs were implemented with a total disregard for the legal framework and failed miserably.
LICADHO recently investigated the Land Allocation for Social and Economic Development (LASED) project which was meant to prove that SLCs could contribute to reducing rural poverty by transferring land to landless Cambodians for residential and farming purposes.
March 30, 2015
The Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) is today releasing to the public its land concession dataset and urges the government to follow suit by publicly disclosing details of all land concessions granted in Cambodia. The information released is the culmination of five years of investigation into this sector.
March 13, 2015
To celebrate International Women's Day 2015 LICADHO, together with the Highlanders Association of Cambodia, organised a forum in Ban Lung, Ratanakiri for people affected by land grabbing. The forum was attended by over 100 representatives from eight different indigenous communities from within Ratanakiri and by land rights activists from other provinces around the country. The theme of the forum was the effect of land conflicts on women and the majority of the participants were women. The participants shared their experiences and ideas and many performed songs they had written telling the stories of their land disputes. We profile six of the women who attended the forum. Their stories illustrate the many hardships faced by women affected by land disputes as well as their remarkable spirit and resilience.
February 19, 2015
The Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights (LICADHO) strongly expresses its concern at the surge in land disputes documented by its offices in 2014, which resulted in a threefold increase in the number of families newly affected by land conflicts during that year when compared to the previous year.
February 17, 2015
We, the undersigned civil society groups, condemn the recent decision to deny a visa renewal for prominent environmental activist Alejandro Gonzalez-Davidson. Mr Gonzalez-Davidson has been at the forefront of a campaign by local Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Mother Nature, to halt the controversial development of a hydroelectric dam in Areng valley, Koh Kong province.

Ly Seav Minh is 23 years old and lives with her mother, father and brother in Toul Kork district, Phnom Penh. The family has lived on the land for 35 years and despite possessing evidence of their lengthy occupation of the land, they have been involved in a long-running land dispute with the municipality and the Khun Sea Company, to which the municipality sold the land in 2010. Originally six other families were involved in the dispute but all have now accepted compensation payments and moved away after facing consistent intimidation from the company.

A public meeting of the York Area Regional Police Commission was held on Thursday, May 8, 2014 at the York Area Regional Police Building, 33 Oak St., York, PA 17402.
Those present were Albert Granholm, Commissioner, Jo Anna Shovlin, Commissioner, Carl Dallmeyer, Commissioner, Paul Knepper, Commissioner, Rodney Sechrist, Commissioner, Ronald Smith, Commissioner, Thomas Gross, Chief of Police, Peter Ruth, Solicitor and Tracy Fleming, Business Administrator.
Commissioner Granholm called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. He made an announcement that there is a change in the agenda. The Benecon presentation will be after Public Comment.
Pledge of Allegiance.
Elizabeth Heathcote, York Township Manager, stated she believes it was overkill to have the Chief, Lieutenant, a Sergeant and an Officer to rescue ducks. It should have been York Township's responsibility to open that drain and no one else's. So in the future she hopes that York Township would get the call instead of the police. She also understands but did not see it herself; several people have approached her regarding comments on WGAL. The comments were made on Friday night and Saturday this past weekend regarding numerous thefts in Red Lion. It was implied the thefts were because of the manpower decline and the budget cuts in the last five years. She said that comments regarding budget cuts makes her furious because over the last seven years, all of us paying for York Area Regional Police, have seen a 24% increase in those costs. If there is a budget problem it is not exterior but interior. For someone to make that comment on television is totally out of line.
Dianne Price, Red Lion Borough Manager, stated she had comments along the same line. She also heard the same thing that a reduction in hours is responsible for the break-ins. First of all it would have been nice to know there is a problem. She had not heard anything until it was already in the press that there were break-ins. Evidently they started about January. She stated she reviewed the hours and right now Red Lion Borough has an additional 15 hours that they did not use. She said the Borough is getting certain tickets written such as facing the wrong way in traffic. So maybe these hours could be better spent. The Borough does not have any control over that. It was very upsetting for Council to hear this on the news and then to hear it was their responsibility due to a reduction in hours. She also did contact the Chief regarding the two liaisons for Red Lion Borough that are to keep them informed and up to date on police matters. This was in the last contract. She has not heard anything from them. It doesn't need to be at a meeting to hear from someone. They are here every month and in their office every day.
Keith Dyke asked if anyone saw the report on TV. They stated they did not but people told them what was said. The Chief stated he did see the report but doesn't recollect or recall that anything was said specifically about a responsibility of anyone having cut hours that is causing crime. There was a comment that we do have reduced manpower. The Chief will try and obtain a copy of the report. It is probably still available. He did see it and he would say both descriptions of it are not what he recollects of it. He does not recall it word for word. He stated it was a report by Sergeant Dunbar, our public information officer and it was regarding the thefts in Red Lion. It was on WGAL. Commissioner Granholm does have a comment on this but he will reserve it until the Commission's comments at the end of the meeting. Walter Hughes inquired if there is a contact person for Red Lion and if they do who is it. Commissioner Granholm stated he believes the Chief did respond to the email regarding this issue. The one officer was Officer Spangler who just retired and we will work on getting that reestablished and get a second person.
Commissioner Sechrist stated it was his understanding the liaisons were not allowed to come to the meetings for the last couple years. He had talked to some Councilmen and they did not want the police at the meetings. Walter Hughes responded to Commissioner Sechrist. He said one of the things we did when looking at our budget and money was look at the officer attending our Council meetings. We are paying for the office to show up at the meeting. He reads a report and most of it is police jargon which all police officers are taught not to put police jargon in their reports. Most of the people probably 90 percent do not know what Part 1 and Part 2 crimes are. He stated we ask a question and all we get back from the officer is I will get back to you. There is no reason to have somebody at the meeting when the officer can be better served being on patrol or out doing his duty rather than sitting at a boring Council meeting. When we have something we can contact the liaison officer. There is no need for us to include this in our budget. We have a bad budget. We are really hurting. We are cutting everyplace that we can to try and save money without having to raise taxes that was the reason for it. It was strictly monetary. There is no reason to have an officer sit there for an hour or two. Commissioner Sechrist said when an officer comes to Windsor Township he gives his report and then leaves. Now you come to this meeting and ask what is going on when you are the ones that said you do not want an officer at the meetings. Walter Hughes said a good image of a police department is to maintain good communication. People on the Borough council have less contact. We are the elected officials. We know people and people are talking to us. We talk to people constantly. We could probably be an asset to the police department at the same time. We complained for over a year about the drug activity at 22 North Main Street. Nothing was ever done until there was a shooting there and it is his understanding it is still not solved. Commissioner Granholm stated you must decide whether or not you want a liaison officer at the meeting. If an officer is there it is billable time. I am hearing you do then I am hearing you don't. Dianne Price stated she did not say come to the meeting but to contact us when something happens. We are always available. Walter Hughes stated we just want someone we can contact. Commissioner Granholm stated he understands their finances but just tell us what you want. Let us address it and we will do the best we can. He understands they do not want the time. What type of events do they want reported? Do we call if it is two events of this or that? It becomes subjective. Give us some guidance on what you are looking for like when you think it would be appropriate for us to contact you. You are always welcome to contact him anytime you want. Walter Hughes stated this is reasonable and we will get something worked out. The Chief stated we will get something to them. He stated we did send a copy of the news release to Red Lion Borough. Dianne Price said they received it on Monday and this happened Friday.
Commissioner Granholm introduced Jonathan Ebersole our account representative with Benecon. He gave a presentation about healthcare plans. He will also offer some recommendations for some possible cost savings.
Commissioner Shovlin made a motion to approve the April 10, 2014 minutes, seconded by Commissioner Dallmeyer, motion carried.
The Chief informed the Commissioners that he received an application from George McGee to enter the IROP. Commissioner Shovlin made a motion to approve the IROP application for George McGee, seconded by Commissioner Dallmeyer, motion carried.
The Chief informed the Commissioners that he did ask the Solicitor if we can only select from applicants that have Act 120 training. The Solicitor informed him that is not allowable under the Civil Service rules. The Chief reviewed his police officer hiring plan with the Commissioners. The Civil Service rules require a motion comes from the Commission asking for an updated Civil Service list. The Chief would like to have a list to present at the June meeting. The Chief would like to recommend that we hire at least two but that is entirely up to the Commission. He would like to do at the June meeting because if they do not have Act 120 training they need to start at the academy on July 1. A motion was made by Commissioner Shovlin to have the Civil Service Commission provide an updated Civil Service list, seconded by Commissioner Granholm, motion carried.
Dallastown Area School District – Attorney Ruth informed the Commissioners that Attorney Hovis was very close to a final document that should be presented at the June meeting.
Dallastown Borough – Commissioner Smith informed the Commissioners that Dallastown Borough needs to email the Chief and Commissioner Granholm to set up a meeting to discuss the contract. He will have the Borough Manager do that within the next week.
Red Lion Borough – Dianne Price stated they would like the Commission to appoint a committee to meet with the Borough. It was decided that Commissioner Granholm and Commissioner Smith will meet with Red Lion Borough.
Grants – The Chief informed the Commissioners that we have received preliminary information that out Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant application with the US Justice Department would be for twelve vests. The cost for the twelve vests will be $11,704.92. There is a formula used by the Justice Department to determine the Grant amount. He stated based on our past experience it will be about 50 percent which is $5,852.46.
He informed the Commissioners we did receive confirmation from York City there are JAG funds available for the Feet on the Street program.
Monthly Reports – The Chief reviewed the monthly report. The Chief advised the Commissioners that Miscellaneous Receipts was already over the budgeted amount. This is due to the money received from the sale of the K-9. The Chief reviewed the expenses and informed the Commissioner that we purchased our own paper towel and toilet paper dispensers which will save us money. We also purchased our own mats instead of using the services of Coyne Textile. Commissioner Granholm stated he still has concern over the salary line items. The Chief informed him he is working on a spreadsheet that should help explain the salary budget. Commissioner Granholm stated that we need to do a budget workshop to make the budget more accurate. Commissioner Sechrist asked who authorizes all of this overtime and how did it get so large. The Chief stated it is mostly the Lieutenant. The Chief reviewed the overtime needed due to shortages on some of the shifts. He also reviewed the manpower requirements. The Chief inquired when the budget workshop would be started. Commissioner Granholm would like to have it started by July.
Approval of Expenses for April 1 – 30, 2014 – $494,874.72
Commissioner Granholm asked for a motion to approve the expenses for April 1 – 30, 2014 in the amount of $494,874.72. A motion to approve the expenses was made by Commissioner Dallmeyer, seconded by Commissioner Shovlin, motion carried.
The Chief advised the Commissioners he had capital purchase requests to review with the Commissioners. The first purchase would be to replace Car 12 that was in the crash. The insurance company did total the car. We will receive $33,877.45 for the car which includes the equipment in the car. He stated we must get a sedan, we would rather get the utility but the equipment that is salvageable from the wrecked car will only fit on a sedan. The cost for a 2015 sedan is $29,291 this is the state contract price from Apple Ford. The total cost will be $33,877.45 with the upfit, replacement of the damaged equipment, vinyl wrap, decals plus the in-car camera. The Chief stated we would like to also add the driver's license scanner and printer for a total of $1,014. The total out of pocket cost would be $6,619.55. Commissioner Granholm made a motion to use $6,619.55 from the Capital Purchases account to cover the out of pocket costs to replace Car 12, seconded by Commissioner Dallmeyer, motion carried.
The Chief informed the Commissioners that we had a crash of our in house video recording equipment and are using a borrowed DVR. We currently have 16 cameras that we do recordings of and then put in the evidence vault. The Chief stated we did get two prices. One is from Choice Security for $3,875 and also one from Activations, Inc. for $2,225. The Chief stated Choice Security is who we worked with in the past. The Chief advised we would take this out of the Capital Purchases-Minor Equipment account. A motion was made by Commissioner Shovlin to purchase the equipment from Activations, Inc. for $2,225, seconded by Commissioner Dallmeyer, motion carried.
We also need items for the two officers assigned to the Quick Response Team. They both need encrypted radios. We are still trying to negotiate this item or do some trades. We do need approval to purchase a tactical vest at $2,213. He informed the Commissioners that the vest is not eligible for the Justice Assistance Grant. The Chief stated this will be charged to the Uniform line item. Commissioner Granholm made a motion to purchase in the amount of $2,213.80 a tactical vest which is part of the QRT upfit to be charged to line item 610.238 Uniforms, seconded by Commissioner Shovlin, motion carried.
The Chief informed the Commissioner he is working on a five year capital plan. The one item in the plan is the in-car cameras. The approximate amount to replace all of the cameras is $80,000. The reason he is bringing this up now is because in the new car we are purchasing he would like to put a new camera in the car instead of the previous generation one. The backbone of this would at least cause us to put in the server and wireless receiver for just one camera. He would like to refine this purchase. This is just for informational purposes right now. The Chief reviewed the cameras we are currently using and how he would like to begin replacing them. There was a discussion on the storage policy on the DVDs. The Chief stated we are currently reviewing changing our storage policy.
The Chief discussed the purchase of new AEDs. He would like to draft a letter to send to businesses then email it to the Commissioners to review. The cost of an AED is $2,250. Commissioner Smith asked where we get the pricing for the AEDs. Lieutenant Zech informed him we chose to have the model that is compatible with our ambulance service. The majority of the ones we are currently using were acquired from a grant from the Heart Association. Some also came from the Masons and also the realtor Rick Smith.
Attorney Ruth had no actions to report on tonight. At the last meeting there was a discussion involving disclosure of officer disciplinary issues. They are reviewing what information can be shared. The concern is what if the disciplinary action is appealed. He thinks we need to have a policy and procedure on reviewing disciplinary actions. They are trying to make sure there is no bias in the process. There will be a full report that Attorney Hovis will present at the June meeting.
The Chief reported there are several major investigations right now including the accident with Car 12 on April 3, 2014 thankfully there were no serious injuries. The Officer that was involved is back to full duty. On April 5, 2014 there was a 21 year old man killed riding a snowmobile into a tree which was in Windsor Township. On April 27, 2014 there was a suicide investigated in Windsor Township. Also there was a shooting in York Township on April 29, 2014 that involved the arrest of a Baltimore City police officer. The annual performance evaluations have been completed and reviewed. There are two citizen complaints under investigation. We had 320 pounds of drugs in the Drug Take Back program. He told the Commissioners there are mileage and training reports in their packets. He wanted to remind everyone that May 15th is Police Memorial Day. Flags should be flown at half-mast in recognition of Police Memorial Day. The Accreditation is scheduled for June 5 and 6. The review with the assessors should be on June 6. He informed the Commissioners he has scheduled himself to attend the following meetings to present the annual report – Dallastown Borough, Windsor Township, York Township and Yoe Borough. He is working to try and schedule the other municipalities.
Commissioner Smith had no comments.
Commissioner Sechrist said we are trying to keep the budget down. Do you realize how much money we got rid of tonight? The things we bring up are actually needed.
Commissioner Knepper had no comments.
Commissioner Dallmeyer had no comments.
Commissioner Shovlin had no comments.
Commissioner Granholm informed the Commissioners he did meet with the Chief the other week to go over things. He stated we did find out from Benecon what our rebate will be which is approximately $281,000. The Chief stated we will only get 75% of that amount which is approximately $211,000. He would like to know what that excess is. It would be his recommendation to set that money aside and try to start a reserve fund. We need to start to build our reserves back up in this department. There was a discussion on the excess funds. He wanted to make a comment on the TV interview. He did not see the interview but his wife did. He knows we have an information officer. He feels the only information that should come from the information officer is the matter at hand. Any other comments need to come from the Board. The Chief stated we will review the comments. Commissioner Granholm stated if there were any comments on labor we feel that is inappropriate.
The Commission recessed for an executive session at 8:00 pm to discuss contract and personnel issues.
The Commission reconvened at 8:41 pm.
A motion was made by Commissioner Shovlin to adjourn the meeting at 8:41 pm, seconded by Commissioner Dallmeyer, motion carried.

Saturday Vids: Teen Social Entrepreneurship and Nika Water
I came across this video a couple of weeks ago when I was procrastinating on Facebook. I'm Facebook friends with Nina Church — we were actually BFF's in pre-school before her family moved to California — and saw that she posted this video of her and her brother's TED talk. It turns out that she's a teen advocate for social entrepreneurship (as is explained in the video) and that her family runs the company Nika water, which sells bottled water and donates the profits towards providing clean water in impoverished countries. It's a great company and their video is really inspiring, so definitely check it out!

Rate of torque and electromyographic development during anticipated eccentric contraction is lower in previously strained hamstrings
Opar, David A., Williams, Morgan, Timmins, Ryan, Dear, Nuala, & Shield, Anthony (2012) Rate of torque and electromyographic development during anticipated eccentric contraction is lower in previously strained hamstrings. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 41(1), pp. 116-125.
Accepted Version
(PDF 216kB)
Background: Hamstring strain injuries are prevalent in sport and re-injury rates have been high for many years. Whilst much focus has centred on the impact of previous hamstring strain injury on maximal eccentric strength, high rates of torque development is also of interest, given the important role of the hamstrings during the terminal swing phase of running. The impact of prior strain injury on myoelectrical activity of the hamstrings during tasks requiring high rates of torque development has received little attention.
Purpose: To determine if recreational athletes with a history of unilateral hamstring strain injury, who have returned to training and competition, will exhibit lower levels of myoelectrical activity during eccentric contraction, rate of torque development and impulse 30, 50 and 100ms after the onset of myoelectrical activity or torque development in the previously injured limb compared to the uninjured limb.
Study design: Case-control study
Methods: Twenty-six recreational athletes were recruited. Of these, 13 athletes had a history of unilateral hamstring strain injury (all confined to biceps femoris long head) and 13 had no history of hamstring strain injury. Following familiarisation, all athletes undertook isokinetic dynamometry testing and surface electromyography assessment of the biceps femoris long head and medial hamstrings during eccentric contractions at -60 and -1800.s-1.
Results: In the injured limb of the injured group, compared to the contralateral uninjured limb rate of torque development and impulse was lower during -600.s-1 eccentric contractions at 50 (RTD, injured limb = 312.27 ± 191.78Nm.s-1 vs. uninjured limb = 518.54 ± 172.81Nm.s-1, p=0.008; IMP, injured limb = 0.73 ± 0.30 Nm.s vs. uninjured limb = 0.97 ± 0.23 Nm.s, p=0.005) and 100ms (RTD, injured limb = 280.03 ± 131.42Nm.s-1 vs. uninjured limb = 460.54.54 ± 152.94Nm.s-1,p=0.001; IMP, injured limb = 2.15 ± 0.89 Nm.s vs. uninjured limb = 3.07 ± 0.63 Nm.s, p<0.001) after the onset of contraction. Biceps femoris long head muscle activation was lower at 100ms at both contraction speeds (-600.s-1, normalised iEMG activity (x1000), injured limb = 26.25 ± 10.11 vs. uninjured limb 33.57 ± 8.29, p=0.009; -1800.s-1, normalised iEMG activity (x1000), injured limb = 31.16 ± 10.01 vs. uninjured limb 39.64 ± 8.36, p=0.009). Medial hamstring activation did not differ between limbs in the injured group. Comparisons in the uninjured group showed no significant between limbs difference for any variables.
Conclusion: Previously injured hamstrings displayed lower rate of torque development and impulse during slow maximal eccentric contraction compared to the contralateral uninjured limb. Lower myoelectrical activity was confined to the biceps femoris long head. Regardless of whether these deficits are the cause of or the result of injury, these findings could have important implications for hamstring strain injury and re-injury. Particularly, given the importance of high levels of muscle activity to bring about specific muscular adaptations, lower levels of myoelectrical activity may limit the adaptive response to rehabilitation interventions and suggest greater attention be given to neural function of the knee flexors following hamstring strain injury.

Kudos to CCI!!! CCI is a wonderful organization. We have seen first hand how it has helped our son who lost his leg in Iraq. The service dog he received is very helpful to him and is his constant companion. We saw a change in our son immediately after he received his "companion" from CCI. They are now inseparable and go almost everywhere together. It is one of the best things that has happened to our son since his injury. I hope CCI will continue to help other severely injured "heroes" of our US Military. Thank you to all especially the volunteers who spend endless hours training the special dogs. What an awesome way for the volunteers and CCI to give back to these brave men and women who have sacrificed themselves for our freedom.
Canine Companions for Independence is truly one of the best there is.I am so grateful to be associated with this awesome organization. My efforts as a volunteer,really make my heart full,I've never seen such compassion,and a group as strong,and dedicated as CCI.
Absolutely wonderful organization! I am thrilled to be part of their mission. I am raising my first of hopefully many puppies for them.
CCI is the Cadillac of the service dog industry.
I have volunteered as a puppy raiser, breeder caretaker, and board member for over 20 years and know first hand the miracles that these highly trained dogs work in the lives of their disabled partners. They do not charge the recipients for these valuable dogs, who also receive a lifetime of follow up and support.
My service dog, Andy, allows me to live on my own without help from others. He not only provides physical assistance but also provides me a companion so I don't get isolated. CCI dogs are the best. Andy is my 4th CCI service dog
Great Organization!!! everything is tops. Highly recommend. I received Dario in May of 2015 and he changed my live for the better. He knows how to open doors , pick up dropped items and turn lights on and off . He also does things that come naturally to him like help reduce my anxiety and helps me be more social because people want to meet him .
Review from Guidestar
I could never give enough thanks to Canine Companions for Independence and everyone involved with this wonderful organization. My Hearing Dog Tatiana has given me a second chance at independence, happiness and life, and has touched countless lives. My life has been forever changed and saved (literally) because of her. Heroes are not born, but are made… And Canine Companions made Tatiana. I can never return the gift I have been given, but I can do my best to keep paying it forward. Thank you CCI!
Review from Guidestar
I was given a service dog at no cost to me. Oscar VI helps me be indepandant. He picks up my clothing by name: shirt, socks, undershirt, slippers, etc. He opens drawers, pulls off my socks, and helps me get dressed. Opens and closes doors, turns lights off and on and much more.
Canine Companions for Independence started in California where they breed their own dogs. When these exceptional dogs are 8 weeks old they are sent to one of several regions to initiate their puppy raising and training with volunteers. Then they ascend to advanced training at a Canine Companions for Independence location, Oscars is Orlando, Florida. After 9 months Oscar was ready to be considered for placement with a disabled person that would be helped to be independent. My wife and I went to CCI Orlando for 2 weeks of training to learn how to lead, care for, manage and think like a dog.
Canine Companions for Independence does this all with a very small professional staff of highly motivated and very dedicated people. They provide highly-trained, exceptional dogs at no charge to disabled Veterans and others with disabilities. This is why I recommend CCI.
Review from Guidestar
Exceptional dogs, exceptional people. I feel LUCKY to be part of such an amazing organization.
Review from Guidestar
Our 12 year old has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and a rate immune disorder. We received our skilled companion working dog in February of 2013. Nickel III has been a Godsend. He's a faithful companion, he can help retrieve objects when our son has bad JRA days and he been a great social bridge for our son.

8/29/2013 / Christian Living
I don't know what exactly you may do for a living in my own life I have done a little bit of everything from being a bag boy in a grocery store to waiting tables and dozen things in between. While in high school I studied brick and block masonry and was a descent block mason. I came to realize though that it was a lot of hard work and I was not something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. However, I learned a very valuable life lesson during this experience and at the time I was un-churched so today I can look back and say it was a biblical lesson also from the Wisdom of Solomon. We read in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12:
9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! 11 Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? 12 And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand hima threefold cord is not quickly broken. (ESV)
The trick to be a truly good block or brick mason is not your own abilities but the abilities of the laborer that works with you. As a block mason you work generally in one place or a stretch of wall that can be any length all your movement is from one end of the wall to the other. It is tedious and repetitive work. The trick to doing it quickly is having a laborer that can keep the mortar and bricks or blocks supplied, if they are not working twice as hard as the mason than productivity will be low. Believe me one person can lay block all by themselves but the work is extremely slow and unproductive. What I have come to understand out of the physical world is also relevant to my life as a Christian.
What I have come to understand is that many of us who accept Jesus and begin to live our lives as Christians try to do it on our own. While some would say this is admirable there really is no need for any believer to struggle as a Christian. For one thing Jesus promised us a Helper in the Holy Spirit.
16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17 (ESV)
On the day you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior you received the Holy Spirit to help Guide and direct you in your Christian walk. There are two problems though; first we are often so used to doing everything on our own we do not want to turn to or trust in the Helper we have received. Secondly we don't really know or understand anything about who the Holy Spirit is.
1 And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. 2 And he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." Acts 19:1-2 (ESV)
Today as a believer in the Lord Jesus you have been given a helper that if we will surrender our will to His guidance we can experience life in a way that is different than anything you can ever imagine. The Christian walk is not an easy one however if you are walking with the Holy Spirit in the right relationship you will find the support necessary to live it. I pray today that you allow the Holy Spirit the proper place in your walk with Christ. Be blessed as you walk in the light of God's Word.

Easy to learn & fun. Good game for when you have a limited amount of time. I've had this game for a while. My young grandsons love it. I just wish an update would come out with an added set of graphics.
Not good I like the other other version allot better.you can change the size of the square and pictures, this one you can't. So it gets a low score from me!!!!!!!

This thread will document the build of the newest edition to my vehicle family. Seen:
A 1982 Jetta. I hope you enjoy it.
Well with the GTI sold as of 4ish hours ago. I'm starting to put into motion my Jetta build plans. Unfortunately the Wifey claimed 1/2 the $$ from the project (hey, we got bills too) and so I have to take it a little slower than I wanted, but isn't that life...
First up, what do you guys think.... trying to pick out what front end I want to use.
Early Westy
My personal fav, Mk1 Scirocco
Or the old-faithful Quad Round.
Could go with single rounds too. Kinda like that look. But give me your ideas folks, I'm more interested in the interior/powertrain, the rest is up in the air.
Let me know. I'm undecided. My plans will be for a unique mk1 Jetta. so....let me have it.

The 27-year-old sustained ligament damage in the early stages of Sunday's 40-24 win at Castleford, which was only his fifth Super League match back after recovering from a similar injury. Roby was out for two-and-a-half months after damaging his other ankle against Wakefield in March.
St Helens coach Nathan Brown said: "We're disappointed to lose a player of James' calibre but once again it presents an opportunity for another member of the first-team squad to step up and cement their place."
Brown is likely to turn to either Lance Hohaia or Stuart Howarth for the hooking role in Saints' next match, which is a derby against Wigan at Langtree Park on Monday, July 22.
Tuesday's news is also a blow for England coach Steve McNamara, who re-affirmed Roby as his first-choice hooker when putting him straight into the team to play the Exiles last month, just two games into his comeback.
Roby will now be sidelined until the middle of September, just six weeks before the opening World Cup match against Australia.Reuse content

Reporters Ruined Russell Crowe's Christmas
When will the tabloids stop making up stories? Probably never. When will the press stop making up stories about Russell Crowe? Over his dead body. The actor rants on and on over a story that stated he bought a boat for his wife for Christmas.
Australian actor Russell Crowe has slammed a newspaper for "ruining his Christmas" after it published a false story claiming he had bought his wife Danielle Spencer a $3.6 million yacht.
Crowe was left so incensed by the report, which appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, he expressed his outrage in a pre-Christmas posting on his official website.
He wrote, "I do not own a boat, haven't bought a boat… I have no idea what/who the source may be.
"I'd like to thank the staff of the Sydney Morning Herald for ruining my family's Christmas by taking our boat away from us and also for the dozens of pointless conversations I will now have with (fellow) boat owners and neighbours over the holiday period."
It's almost as if he was going to purchase her a boat, and they ruined the surprise.

I'm offering this lesson only because I've been noticing that my students (and a good number of other people I encounter in my day-to-day existence) don't understand how to use them correctly.
A gerund is the -ing form of a verb that functions as a noun; that's all it is:
Swimming is good exercise.
Wearing a trench coat and fedora makes you a menacing character.
(and my favorite)
Slapping a yellow ribbon bumper sticker on the back of your gas-guzzling SUV during a war for oil makes you look like an asshole.
All of these words LOOK like verbs but, if you look closely, you'll see that they're actually functioning as nouns. In these cases, the gerunds are all the subjects of the sentences.
The trouble (for me, anyway) comes when people try to use gerunds as direct objects. More often than not, I'll hear things like:
I appreciate you taking the time to help me out with this.
The incident ended with me having to go to court.
In these cases, the gerund is acting as the direct object. In the first sentence, I'm not appreciating YOU, I'm appreciating that you took time to help me out. The pronoun needs to be changed to the possessive your. In the second sentence, the incident didn't end with ME, it ended with my having to go to court.
My English Grammar for Dummies book explains it about as well as I've ever heard it explained:
Why possessive? Here's the reasoning. If you put a possessive pronoun in front of the noun, the noun is the main idea, therefore:
My parents object to the taking of the car. They don't object to me.
(the original sentence was "Just because I once got a speeding ticket, my parents object to my taking the car for even short drives.")
This site has a lovely explanation of the gerund / possessive pronoun relationship. I particularly like this bit:
…the failure to use the possessive case with the gerund can give a sentence a meaning altogether different from what the writer actually intends.
Consider these two sentences:
Whitaker did not like the woman standing in front of him at the parade.
Whitaker did not like the woman's standing in front of him at the parade.
In the first sentence, "standing" is an adjective (a participle, to be specific) modifying "woman." We call "standing in front of him at the parade" a participial phrase. The sentence says that Whitaker did not like the woman who was standing in front of him at the parade. The participial phrase answers the question "which woman?" It identifies her as "the standing woman" and states that she is the person whom Whitaker did not like.
In the second sentence, "standing" is a noun–a gerund. This sentence says that Whitaker did not like the fact that someone (the "woman") was standing in front of him at the parade. Whitaker probably did not know the woman at all. The notion of his liking or disliking her has nothing whatsoever to do with the idea that the sentence intends to convey. It was the *standing in front of him* that Whitaker did not like–the *woman's* standing. The true meaning of the sentence–the fact that Whitaker did not like having someone stand in front of him at the parade–hinges entirely on the use of the possessive case of the word "woman."
Happy Wednesday, Everyone!!

Assurance of learning : the role of work integrated learning and industry partners
Smith, Judith E., Meijer, George, & Kielly-Coleman, Nicole (2010) Assurance of learning : the role of work integrated learning and industry partners. In Campbell,, M. (Ed.)

In the partnering with students and industry it is important for universities to recognize and value the nature of knowledge and learning that emanates from work integrated learning experiences is different to formal university based learning. Learning is not a by-product of work rather learning is fundamental to engaging in work practice. Work integrated learning experiences provide unique opportunities for students to integrate theory and practice through the solving of real world problems. This paper reports findings to date of a project that sought to identify key issues and practices faced by academics, industry partners and students engaged in the provision and experience of work integrated learning within an undergraduate creative industries program at a major metropolitan university. In this paper, those findings are focused on some of the particular qualities and issues related to the assessment of learning at and through the work integrated experience. The findings suggest that the assessment strategies needed to better value the knowledges and practices of the Creative Industries. The paper also makes recommendations about how industry partners might best contribute to the assessment of students' developing capabilities and to continuous reflection on courses and the assurance of learning agenda.
