Flexible endoscopes are used in medical procedures where the scope cannot bend. This animation from SCHOTT demonstrates the transmission of light and data through external and internal rigid fiber optic light cables in endoscopy.
One of the key parameters for understanding how a laser will perform in an application is the spatial intensity distribution. In many industial laser cutting or welding applications, monitoring the beam quality is critical for successful operation. The measurement of the beam can either be made during the design stage of the laser, or it might be more sufficient for continuous real-time monitoring during the laser's operation. This white paper addresses the general need for laser beam profile analysis, describes laser beam analysis instruments, and provides an overview of laser applications, in particular for infrared wavelengths.

In July, SPIE CEO Dr. Eugene Arthurs announced his intent to retire effective on Jan. 19, 2018. Recently, Dr, Arthurs graciously made time to reflect on his career at SPIE, as well as his and the organization's future, with Photonics Online.
Using photonics technologies to establish communications in air-to-ground, air-to-air, and air-to-space fields offers many advantages related to transmission speed, low Size Weight and Power (SWaP) systems, spectrum regulations, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Specifically in UAV laser communications, photonics technology has the potential to establish secure and reliable high-speed links that are also immune to jamming/spoofing, where transmissions cannot be detected, in contrast to traditional RF technology. This article discusses the additional advantages of using photonics in the design process of UAV laser comms development, and provides an example of a UAV laser transmitter under testing at Gooch & Housego.
Sensing in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range has been made practical by the development of Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) sensors. Since the SWIR band is not visible to the human eye, InGaAs sensors are necessary when objects need to be recognized in high quality with little or no visible light. This article discusses the many uses of SWIR technologies, as well as the advantages that make it an important tool in both day time and nighttime applications.
New advancements in computer performance comprise the shrinking of feature sizes and the shift to 10 nm technologies. As these enhancements are implemented, extraordinary performance levels will come from the use of silicon photonics, or the integration of optical circuits on semiconductor wafers, instead of the use of electronics. This white paper discusses the silicon photonics alignment automation technology and how it is a key element in the mass production of SiP components.

Busting Myths About Foundation Fieldbus
Mythperceptions About Fieldbus Can Be Changed
By Larry O'Brien
|About the Author
Larry O'Brien is the global marketing manager for the Fieldbus Foundation.
The first commercial Foundation fieldbus applications were installed in 1997. Since that time, over a million devices have been sold into a billion-dollar market of products, applications and services. Many myths and misconceptions, however, continue to persist surrounding Foundation fieldbus technology. In this document, we bust some of these more persistent myths .
The process industries are well-known for being conservative, and many of the old issues encountered during these early projects continue to persist as myths today. Many other myths have no basis in fact at all, and it is unclear how they got started in the first place. The oral tradition is strong, however, and these myths stubbornly survive.
Myth: Implementation Is Too Difficult
Implementing Foundation fieldbus technology isn't difficult; it's just different. With proper training and the right vendor or integrator partner, Foundation fieldbus technology actually reduces the risk in the engineering and operational phase of the project, which also increases the net present value of the capital investment. Furthermore, the accumulated knowledge governing Foundation fieldbus engineering is readily available. It has been combined into a single set of free, downloadable guides from the Fieldbus Foundation (www.fieldbus.org)
The AG-181 System Engineering Guide is a comprehensive resource containing best practices for engineering, design and installation of Foundation fieldbus systems. The foundaton also offers supplemental guides on wiring and installation, intrinsically safe systems, and a guide to function-block capabilities in hybrid and batch systems.
Many resources exist today for cost-effective training. With eight certified training centers worldwide, users now have access to the best instructors for face-to-face, onsite or remote training. To ensure success, training should start in the earliest phases of the project to enable a smooth transition after project handover.
Myth: There Is No Cost Benefit to Foundation Fieldbus
When best practices for project engineering are followed, the installed cost of a Foundation fieldbus-based system can be much less than a conventional system in several key areas. Instrumentation commissioning and checkout times are greatly reduced. What used to take a field technician hours to accomplish now takes minutes.
Up to 75% of all start-up delays directly relate to instrumentation and controls. Foundation fieldbus technology can make commissioning easier and reduce overall commissioning times by as much as 85%. This results in faster plant start-up and faster time to production.
If you're a first-time implementer, or if Foundation fieldbus technology is being deployed at your site for the first time, it makes sense to invest in some training for your instrument technicians, operators and other people who can benefit from the technology. Training is a necessary investment, but training is highly accessible and does not have to break the bank.
Choosing the right engineering partner can also reduce installed cost. References are important. A growing number of engineering firms, from large engineering contractors to independent systems integrators, are becoming well-versed in Foundation fieldbus engineering best practices.
The real cost benefit to Foundation fieldbus technology is at the operations level. Numerous end users have avoided unplanned shutdown due to the diagnostics and function-block capabilities of Foundation fieldbus.
Many end users view maintenance as one of their key costs that can be cut. End users have estimated that more than half of maintenance activities result in no action. Foundation fieldbus technology with its predictive diagnostics can help users develop a proactive maintenance strategy that avoids unnecessary trips to the field for routine scheduled maintenance.
Myth: I Don't Need to Invest in Fieldbus When There Is Wireless Technology
Wireless technology has many advantages, but fieldbus and wireless technology are not mutually exclusive. Wireless in control applications is a long way off, and no end users are going to replace their entire control system infrastructure to support only wireless devices. The Foundation has made it a policy to coexist with industrial wireless technologies for process automation. Through our Wireless and Remote I/O project (WIO), the Foundation has generated specifications for gateways to incorporate either ISA 100.11a or WirelessHART data into Foundation fieldbus systems. Combining the wealth of diagnostic data in wireless devices with the capability to manage that data and turn it into useful information in a fieldbus system is a powerful solution.

Graphing a Lorenz Curve and Calculating the Gini Coefficient
This lesson printed from:
Posted April 5, 2010
Grades: 9-12
Author: Mike Fladlien
Posted: April 5, 2010
In this lesson, students receive raw data to construct a Lorenz Curve and calculate the Gini Coefficient. This lesson prepares AP Microeconomics students for the Advanced Placement exam. The teacher will briefly interpret the Gini Coefficient.
Distribution of Income, Economic Equity
- Graph a Lorenz Curve from simple data.
- Calculate the Gini Coefficient.
- Interpret the Gini Coefficient.
1. Begin with an attention getting question about a fictitious story. Pretend that you have four brothers. You have all been splitting wood all day. At the end of the day, you find that your mom has made an apple pie that she wants you to share with your brothers. How would you share the pie? [Some possible answer include: each brother gets 20 percent; one brother isn't hungry and wants only a sliver and will share his piece of the pie with an older, hungrier brother; some might propose a competition to see who gets the most pie; the pie might be split by who produced the most for the family.]
2. In much the same way, income is divided among citizens of a country. In this lesson, you will show how to construct a Lorenz Curve and calculate the Gini Coefficient for the Advanced Placement Microeconomics exam.
[NOTE: The Lorenz Curve is a macroeconomics concept, but the Acorn book outlines that the concepts are taught in microeconomics.]
Income Inequality PowerPoint: Show the working PowerPoint. The PowerPoint is set up so that students can perform each step of the calculation and verify the results with the screen. The teacher should walk around the room and facilitate student progress.
Income Inequality PowerPoint
A Faster Approach to Finding the Gini Coefficient: This blog shows how to construct a Lorenz Curve and calculate the Gini Coefficient.
Income Distribution by Country: For a world map showing the Gini Coefficients, see this site.
Gini Coefficient Answer Key: This is the answer key for the Assessment Activity dealing with the country of Alpha.
Graphic Organizer: Provided for the teacher to facilitate instruction on the Lorenz Curve.
1. Give each student a Graphic Organizer to follow the progression of the Income Inequality PowerPoint.
2. Show each step and assist students as they calculate percentages and graph the data.
3. Distribute a problem for students to work on in class or as homework.
The small country of Alpha has 10 citizens. The citizens and their earned incomes are listed below:
Citizen Earned Income
Zak $ 2,000
Erika $10,000
Bill $ 1,500
Juan $ 15,000
Harry $ 16, 000
Jose $ 9,000
Emily $ 30,000
Kai $ 12,000
Robert $ 8,000
Kathleen $ 20,000
From the data, have the students graph the Lorenz Curve and calculate the Gini Coefficient.
The answer key for the teacher: Gini Coefficient Answer Key.
Have the students visit the site Income Distribution by Country . At this website, selected Gini Coefficients around the world are graphically displayed.
The students should be able to see how Gini Coefficients show income inequality by looking at the geographical area and making inferences about the type of government. They also have the tools to analyze income distributions among nations. Ask them, if the Gini Coefficient for Namibia was 70.7, what does that tell you about the income distribution in that African country? Sweden has a Gini Coefficient of 23. What does that Gini Coefficient indicate about income distribution?
Calculate the Gini Coefficient by taking the ratio of the area inside the Lorenz Curve and dividing the area by the area under the line of perfect equality. Since the area under the line of perfect equality is 0.5, one actually multiplies. This fact explains why countries might have a large Gini Coefficient.
1. Discuss how earners are seldom stuck in a quintile. (Often, college graduates begin in the lowest 20 percent of income earners and move up to higher quintiles as their skills and education increase. Also, as wage earners retire, they move to lower quintiles. These observations suggest that the Lorenz Curve is a snapshot in time.)
2. Discuss the question, "What is a household?" Does a household have to have four family members or can the composition of households be varied? When economists plot the Lorenz data, they place cumulative percent of households on the x-axis. What implications does using a vague tag like households have for interpreting the distribution of income? (Students tend to interpret a household as one like their own. Many households have varied compositions. This makes the interpretation of the Lorenz Curve difficult.)

Take a career tip from designer Tracy Reese and add some color to your 9-to-5 look: "It'll make you more confident and cheerful—even on a Monday." Use black as a base, and go from there.More
Here's a trade secret: Whenever I have a big meeting, I wear something colorful. It makes me feel seen, and that makes me feel heard. While neutrals will always be essential to a weekday wardrobe, your entire outfit shouldn't fade into the background. The easiest way to wear more color to the office is to sprinkle vibrant pieces in with your black staples. We all own a ton of black anyway, and the combination keeps an ensemble serious while letting the brighter hues shine. Try out these tips to look like a boss in color.

ALEX Carter is hoping for an explosive start to the new year – after ending 2013 on a real high with a stunning performance in the Clevedon 4 miles road race on Boxing Day, writes KEVIN FAHEY.
Twelve months after finishing fourth in the popular race around the North Somerset seaside resort the 17-year-old from Winsley – he doesn't turn 18 until the end of this month – claimed some notable scalps as he chased home top 1500m runner and previous winner Richard Peters.
Carter was delighted with his second place, especially as he slashed 40 seconds off the time he clocked last year.
"I was really surprised to still be with Richard until the final 800 metres when he pushed on to win but I am delighted to run 40 seconds quicker than last year," said Carter.
"I was really pleased to beat runners of the quality of Tim Merson, James Thie and Ben Noad, who are all terrific runners."
The performance has given Carter a big lift ahead of the South West Cross Country Championships at Killerton House on Sunday, when he will be on duty for both Wiltshire and Team Bath AC.
"I had a poor start to the season at Liverpool (Euro-pean Championships trials) but then had a decent run in the Tri-Counties Champion-ships last month," added Carter.
"I am obviously in better shape than I thought and now I have to transfer the form I have shown on the track and road onto the country.
"If I can finish the season as well as I did the last one then I will be very pleased."
- BRADFORD on Avon teenager Lauren Robinson was third woman in the Bath Pole Vault Christmas Special held at the University's indoor facility.
The 16-year-old cleared 3.06m behind Katie James (3.61m) and Trudi Carter (3.06m). Team Bath's 14-year-old Hannah Hewett cleared a personal best of 2.26m.
In the shot, Devizes School student Emily Hutchinson was runner-up in the U17 women with 10.64m.

I personally think I listen to a lot of music. Might not be lots of different times of music at a given time but feel like I've heard more music than the average person. I've been thinking about that question you get every so often, "What are your favorite bands/artist/DJs?".
I've decided to put together a list of albums that I feel represent me as an individual and have played a huge part of my own soundtrack. This is my life of MUST HAVE albums. You might even find something you might even like =O
I'll start off with what is more commonly known by the masses and move down to the more obscure.
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
This album to me is my favorite Pink Floyd album and I consider them one of my favorite bands.
Bueno Vista Social Club – Self Titled
This album will forever mark history and show the world what Cuban music is really about. This is one of those albums that will hold a special place in my heart because I grew up in Miami. The sound of this just makes you think what it must of been like in Cuba before Castro.
The Fugees – The Score
This album is a classic for everybody. It's one of the first albums I've ever enjoy at the start of my musical interest. I can listen to this album in whatever mood I'm in.
Bjork – Post
Bjork is one of my favorite vocalist in music today. Everything about this album is sexy and passionate. I can't help but put this album on every week or so.
Wyclef Jean – The Carnival
This is one of the first albums I ever bought with my own money. I'll never forget listening to this album for the first time. I was sitting in the office studying for a history test. Had one of those portable CD players and jammed out hard.
Fiona Apple – Tidal
I'll never forget this album. It reminds me of summers when my older sister would be in town from college. Fiona's voice is tantalizing and makes me feel so comfortable yet knowing her overall tone is bitter. I use to fall asleep to this album for years.
The Mars Volta – EVERYTHING.
This is hands down my favorite band. Omar Rodriguez Lopez is the most under rated guitarist in the music business right now. Everything about these guys I totally enjoy. Their music just puts me in this trance like state.
Coheed & Cambria – Second Stage Turbine Blade
I'll never forget hearing this for the first time and thinking man did I download a bad copy where the vocals are messed up. Nope! Claudio is in his own class as a front man. I admit I didn't like at first but wow how it soared to the top of my charts after the 2nd listen.
Sigur Ros – ( )
This is pure love. Another album that I use to fall asleep to on a daily basis for a large period of my life. The music is just raw emotion.
Cursive – Burst & Bloom
It's hard to chose just one album for Cursive. Domestica & The Ugly Organ have been albums as well as Burst and Bloom that just make me feel happy inside. This band one of those bands that I completely found by random chance and said I'll listen to them till the day I die.
Further Seems Forever – The Moon is Down
I don't care who you are and what you think of the 'emo movement' this album meant a lot to me during high school break ups. I admit it, I'm quite a sensitive guy when you get to know me.
Glassjaw – EVERYTHING!
God this band is just pure rage and passion all in one. I couldn't get into them at all but I'll never forget being in the backseat of a car when Ry Ry's Song came on and everyone was singing and it just clicked. Beyond excited to be flying out to Boston to catch these guys and their new material.
Poison the Well – The Opposite of December
Back when I was young I was just like how I am today. A calm collective focused person. Back then I had an outlet, mosh pits. These guys were that band that you always just want to relive those moments in the pit. They always take me to that place of bliss of just me, the music, and thrashing.
Halou – Wiser
This album means the world to me. This is one of those bands and albums that has never been found by society yet complete definition of Love. This album has such great meaning to me on so many levels. The singer of this band has to be on par with Bjork in my eyes, I'm telling you beautiful. If there is any albums on this list that I say you HAVE to have right now and listen to right away it's this one and the next one.
Ooah – Of Porcelain
This is the only album on here that actually is electronic music. It probably comes to many as a surprise that there aren't any dubstep albums on here. To be honest this is the one album that I would want to be on here that has to do with electronic music. This album is a huge inspiration to me. When I saw Glitch Mob in Chicago and shook Ooah's hand after the Smart Bar set I told him Of Porcelain is a masterpiece and meant it. This possibly is my favorite out of all of the ones listed above right now. I would kill to get a copy of this on Vinyl. It's a shame that this never got pressed. If I could help in any way getting this pressed I would. I can't say enough about this album. Thank you Ooah.
I could of easily made this Top 20 albums but decided to keep it real to what I listen to on a regular basis. I did leave out some of my favorite breaks, drum & bass, and dubstep albums but you know what these truly represent me and listen to on regular basis. These are the albums that get to me inside no matter what. I can sit back and play these albums through at any given time.

Belfry K-12 classes make AYP
Attributing Belfry's academic success to a new curriculum approach and tremendous support from teaching staff, school board and community members, Superintendant/Principle Jason Olson is proud of his school. As the only school to have all classes, K-12 in Carbon County demonstrate AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress), a federally mandated program that determines how every public school is performing academically, Olson believes the new inter-curriculum and collaborative efforts of his teaching staff have much to do with the students' achievement. "I think what helped us out is that we're trying to take a real world, hands-on approach. It helps students put things into perspective. Our school is small enough and we are lucky to have the resources to make it applicable," Olson explained. Olson said his teaching staff has been creating thematic units that are integrated into each subject area. "The teachers work as a team to try to align the curriculum to make it more of a building block.
With integrated studies and differentiated instruction, we can have students at different levels still able to get the information. Part of the success is being able to give one-on-one instruction and personalize it," said Olson. "What helps close the gap is being able to bring in that real world experience and getting them to see how curriculum correlates." AYP, a somewhat controversial program in accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA), '…is calculated based on test participation, academic achievement, graduation rate, and other statistics...' as stated in a press release from Superintendant of Public Instruction, Denise Juneau.
The state uses the standardized CRT's (Criteria Reference Tests) to determine AYP. However, Joliet Schools Superintendant, Jeff Bermes explained that small schools with fewer than 30 students use a different process and set of criteria than larger schools, such as Red Lodge and Joliet to determine AYP. Larger schools with 30 or more students in a testing population rely on the test performance of all its students as the main criteria. "If you have 30 kids and one kid doesn't make it, that's a huge drop and that's what we are seeing," Bermes said. If we test 30 kids and two kids didn't make it, we're already down to 93% proficiency and that doesn't make the AYP cut offs.
That's pretty statistically relevant." Currently, '…the testing goals require that 94.8 percent of students score proficient or above in reading and 90 percent of students score proficient of above in Math… and the graduation rate goal is 85 percent…' By 2014, the goal is to have 100% of students performing academically at their grade level. Because of the many factors that affect each student's performance, whether environmental or social, Bermes does not believe AYP is an accurate indicator of a schools academic achievement. "I think it's unrealistic to expect everybody to be 100 % proficient. There are too many variables that affect kids learning.
What about kids that have learning disabilities, those are the concerns we have," Bermes said. In Carbon County, the schools that made AYP for the 2012-2013 school year included: Belfry K-12, Bridger H.S., Fromberg 7-8/H.S., Luther K-8, Roosevelt 6-8, Roberts K-6/H.S.

ATLANTA -- It may be the most sought-after recipe in the world: the recipe to Coca-Cola, known by very few people.
The recipe is held in a safe at the World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta. But now, one Georgia man believes he may have accidentally discovered the secret formula.
Cliff Kluge is a resident of Ringgold, Georgia who loves finding and selling antiques.
MORE | Recipe listed as sold on eBay, but not true
"It's a treasure hunt," he says. "We go around looking for treasure.
"And apparently we may have found some."
Kluge and his wife, Arlene, recently purchased a box of letters and papers at an estate sale. One of those papers is a cola recipe from 1943.
Kluge believes it is the recipe for Coca-Cola.
"You don't stumble on things like this very often," he said. "It's a letter, and a formula, and the processes to make it. I think it's a little deeper than having fun; I think it's the recipe for Coca-Cola."
The recipe for Coca-Cola, of course, is a tightly kept secret -- and has been since the 19th century.
Kluge's recipe matches closely with another recipe. Two years ago, NPR claimed to have found the original recipe for Coke and published it online. Their web site crashed from all the traffic.
So what have officials at Coca-Cola said?
"They told me they'd call me back in 7-10 business days," Kluge said last week. "Well, they haven't contacted me back."
They did return our calls with their own statement:
"Through the years, many have tried to crack the secret formula, but no one has been able to reproduce the 'real thing.' The real formula is safely tucked away in a vault at the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta."
That hasn't stopped Kluge. He has put the recipe on eBay.
"I put it down for an initial bid of $5 million and a 'Buy Now' bid of 15 million," he said.
Have there been any takers?
"Uh, no."
But for Kluge, it's not necessarily about the money anyway.
"It's just excitement," he says. "It's an Easter egg hunt, looking for eggs out there. And when you come up with something like this, it's Christmas."

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Recent research results on tomato harvesting and handling give buyers the backup they need when growers and shippers try to negotiate out of food safety requirements, according to a panel at the Center for Produce Safety Research Symposium.
The fourth annual symposium was at the Wegmans Conference Center and attracted more than 300 attendees in late June. It included presentations from 16 scientists whose fresh produce research projects received CPS funding.
Two of the projects involved pathogen transfer risks and survival rates in different aspects of harvesting and handling field-grown tomatoes.
Michelle Danyluk, an assistant professor specializing in microbial food safety and quality at the University of Florida, looked at "established standards" to remove dirt and debris from tomatoes during field packing — using cloths to wipe and shine — and the reuse of cartons in repack operations.
The two-year project showed cloths easily transfer pathogens from one tomato to at least 25 more tomatoes.
Danyluk also documented that dirt on cartons harbors pathogens and transfers them to tomatoes. Danyluk said the results were expected, but the rate of pathogen transfer was higher than anticipated.
"Now that there is data, we will go back and talk to our suppliers to make sure (they meet our requirements)," said Michael Burness, vice president of global quality and food safety at Chiquita Brands International Inc.
Burness was one of four panelists who discussed practical applications of research following scientists' presentations on pathogen transference.
Also on the panel was Jorge Hernandez, senior vice president for food safety and quality assurance at US Foods.
"We have been working with our suppliers to stop this (use of cloths) and this gives us data to back up our requirements," Hernandez said.
In a separate research project, Lynne McLandsborough, an assistant professor in the department of food science at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, studied the survival, transfer and inactivation of salmonella on plastic materials used during the harvest of field tomatoes.
She specifically documented salmonella levels on plastic bins and gloves workers use to gather tomatoes from the fields.
Data from the 25-month research project led her to conclude that the pathogen does survive easily on the surfaces of the bins, especially if dirt is allowed to accumulate because it provides a "safe place" for the salmonella to live.
McLandsborough also measured salmonella levels on different types of gloves being used in the industry: vinyl, latex, nitrile and low-density polyethylene.
Under an electron microscope the varying roughness of the gloves' surfaces revealed the nitrile gloves to be much smoother, thus providing fewer locations for pathogens to survive and multiply. Nitrile gloves also showed less pathogen accumulation and could be more effectively cleaned between uses.
"Our conclusion? Glove material matters," Landsborough said.
Panelist Filindo Colace, vice president of operations for Club Chef Chef LLC (a Castellini Co.), said he was pleased the research supported his company's decision to use nitrile gloves. He said Danyluk's research on pathogen transference via tomato cleaning cloths proved Club Chef was also correct to ban them.
Chiquita's Burness said the researchers' work reinforces the need to focus on clean.
"It's all so simple with this data," Burness said about tomato harvesting. "No cloths, new bins, nitrile gloves."
Reggie Brown, another panel member and executive vice president of the Florida Tomato Growers Exchange, expressed caution as far as the need for growers to buy new equipment.
"This shows we can find some contamination but not specific differences between new and old (harvest bins and buckets)," Brown said.
"Our regulations require daily washing and inspection of bins, but these businesses have to be economically successful. We can't chase down every boogie man. … And we don't want to move a raw agricultural product to become a finished product."

I wonder if we could get in the middle of the Monta Ellis deal.
I bet the Hornets would prefer Collison back, because of familiarity and contract size. So maybe something centered around Collison, Stephenson or Rush, Dahntay or Posey (for contract purposes), and a First to get Monta.
The total package for NO then becomes:
Dahntay (or Posey)
probably a 2012 First from Golden State
and a 2013 First from us
Their roster then becomes:
PG- Collison, Jack
SG- Thomspon, Rush, Green
SF- Ariza, Pondexter, Ewing
PF- Udoh
C - Okafor
They are then set up to bring in a guy in free agency in the front court, like Landry, West, I heard Nene thrown around, probably Aaron Gray, etc. Then draft a couple of bigs next year.
Golden State gets Chris Paul

Employment applicants at agricultural operations are not always what they appear. They could have more interest in destroying your business than in contributing to it, but employers have tools available to minimize their risk of hiring undercover extremists.
Participants at this week's Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholders Summit engaged in several discussions of clandestine videos, "Ag-gag" laws and the importance of running operations that comply with strict standards for animal care. Even the best operation however, could have its reputation or more damaged by out-of-context or edited videos filmed by employees with hidden agendas. Attorney Elliot Belilos, from the Washington, D.C. firm Olsson, Frank, Weeda, Terman and Matz offered advice for avoiding making those hires in the first place.
The key, is says, is to apply due diligence in evaluating applicants prior to hiring. Employers have the ability to explore an applicant's background and protect themselves from undercover activism. Belilos suggests taking these steps.
- Carefully screen an applicant's resume or job application.
- Look for anything that seems suspicious in the applicant's work or education history, such as long gaps in employment.
- Take time to verify previous employment. Contact the businesses listed to verify their legitimacy.
- Contact the applicant's references.
- On the application form, include a certification of accuracy, requiring the applicant to sign in acknowledgement that the information provided is accurate. Specify that inaccurate information on the application is grounds for refusal to hire or dismissal if hired.
- Include a question on the application asking whether the applicant belongs to any activist groups with intent to discredit the business.
- If allowed in your state, require the applicant to sign consent to a background check.
- Upon making a job offer, require the person to sign a confidentiality agreement, a pledge not to film or photograph the operation without permission and consent to surveillance of their activities, computer, etc.
If an employer discovers an employee has taken a job under false pretenses, especially if that worker has reported problems such as animal abuse or environmental violations, federal and state laws protect the employee from retaliation as a legitimate whistleblower. However, if the employee lied on the application form and signed an agreement saying all information on was accurate, the employer has grounds for recourse.
Naturally, the first obligation of owners and managers of livestock operations is to assure compliance with laws and established animal-care standards. But with some extremists determined to damage the finances and reputations of farmers and ranchers by any means necessary, a little extra caution in hiring can't hurt.

Public policy question of the next decade: Is it okay to steal?
Follow-up question: Would it be okay to steal a significant amount of money from a generation of people, or a smaller amount from multiple generations, to avoid a national fiscal collapse?
Final follow-up questions: Are these questions academic due to simple mathematical reality?
As 2012 wears on and Congress worries about November, the mathematics of these questions as they relate to our national debt are increasingly hard to ignore. Unfortunately, as I described earlier today at Right Wing News, the politically possible solution to fixing the major drivers of our debt – Social Security and Medicare – consist of one word: stealing. In fact, they consist of lots of stealing from one or more generations of Americans.
Last July, Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Director Doug Elmendorf explained things well in a post on the CBO blog:
Thus…limiting federal spending to 18 percent of GDP would require a cut in spending relative to CBO's baseline projections for 2021 of roughly one-quarter…[I]f Social Security and the major health programs faced no cuts, then defense and other non-interest spending would need to be cut by about 60 percent. Alternatively, if defense and other non-interest spending faced no cuts, then outlays for Social Security and the major health programs would need to be cut by about 40 percent…
The budgetary imbalance could also be addressed by boosting revenues above historical levels relative to GDP—but it would take a substantial increase to bring revenues in line with projected spending under current law. For example, under current law, the expiration of the tax cuts enacted since 2001, the growing reach of the alternative minimum tax, the tax provisions of the recent health care legislation, and the way in which the tax system interacts with economic growth would result in revenues in 2021 reaching about 21 percent of GDP—about one-sixth above their historical average. But even then…debt would be rising slowly relative to GDP. Thus, with older Americans receiving the benefits projected under current law, fiscal policy is not on a sustainable path even with: (a) tax revenues rising above their historical average share of GDP; and (b) the rest of the government apart from programs focused on older Americans playing a much smaller role relative to the size of the economy than during the past several decades.
In other words, Elmendorf is saying that in order to get our debt under control in the next decade we would have to significantly raise taxes or drastically cut federal spending. And yet even this wouldn't be enough to keep our debt under wraps in the long run, as the budgetary impacts of Social Security, Medicare and interest payments would truly begin to take over the federal budget around that time. To quote Michael Linden of the liberal Center for American Progress last year:
It's true in the long run…the major drivers of the federal deficit are an aging population, which means higher costs for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and also rising health care costs generally…we are going to have to have some really serious conversations about how to get those things under control.
So what can be done? In short, we as a nation need to accept that stealing is going to dominate the major public policy debate of the next two decades: reforming entitlement spending so our nation does not fall off the proverbial fiscal cliff. Or in other words, to quote my friend William Beach of The Heritage Foundation, "You can't balance the federal budget and stay inside today's policy lines. Rethink the lines, however, and you'll be amazed how quickly we could move toward fiscal sanity. It's all a matter of those tricky lines."
What is outside of those lines? Necessary reforms such as the following (note: these are opinions I hold, not necessarily those of Beach, whose quote I stole from his Facebook page):
- Aggressively focus on eliminating fraud, waste, abuse and duplicity in the federal government. I believe up to twenty percent of the federal budget is likely lost every year to simple mismanagement of taxpayer dollars.
- Rethinking how our military is run, both from a mission standpoint (get out of Iraq and Afghanistan as soon as possible, to start) and from a structural standpoint (starting with reforming the contracting system currently in place, especially non-compete contracts).
- Eliminate a federal bureaucracy or three, starting with the Department of Education, the Transportation Security Administration, Head Start and DARE. All of these agencies cost the taxpayers tens of billions of dollars yet have not actually accomplished their respective goals.
- Raise the Social Security and Medicare retirement ages to 69 or 70 by 2030 and begin means-testing the programs. Is this stealing from current seniors and those nearing retirement? Yes. Is this necessary, considering that Congress has not told the truth about the sustainability of the programs for decades, and the American people been willfully ignorant? Yes.
Personally, I would prefer to phase out both Social Security and Medicare over a 23-year or so period, with reforms slowly phased in so retirees are less dependent on them, but I recognize this is politically impossible unless the programs simply implode. Which they are on the path to doing.
- Phase out all federal tax loopholes and either enact a low-rate flat income or – preferably – eliminate all federal income taxes and enact a national sales tax.
- Phase out all federal subsidies.
- Allow greater cultivation of our domestic energy resources and allow the construction of more nuclear power plants.
Politics is full of soft language that hides harsh truths, but given the fiscal reality America faces I think conservatives ought to stand up and say what's really going on: the most important spending reforms of our generation are those needed to prevent the collapse of Social Security and Medicare, and the most politically plausible of those reforms consist of stealing from at least one generation of Americans. Politically harsh and risky? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely.

Candidates cast differing visions for role of labor commissioner
PORTLAND, Ore. - Interviewed separately last week by phone, Bruce Starr and Brad Avakian, the two candidates running for state labor commissioner, detailed differing visions and goals for the office.
Incumbent Avakian said his career as a civil rights attorney fits nicely with the mission of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, emphasizing equality in the workforce and in ensuring that workforce is well trained. But his challenger, Starr, said his background in small business will help him lead the agency to help put Oregonians back to work by spurring job creation through simplified regulations.
Both have served in the state Legislature and Starr is currently a state senator. The office of labor commissioner is nonpartisan but shadows from each man's party - Avakian, a Democrat, and Starr, a Republican - have cast themselves over the race as money has flowed to each candidate from his respective party.

If you have an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), ask your doctor what type and level of exercise is safe for you. Regular activity can help keep your heart and body healthy.
The type and amount of exercise that is allowable will vary depending on the cause of your abnormal heart rhythm and whether you have other forms of heart disease.
If your irregular heartbeat is caused by another type of heart disease (such as cardiomyopathy or a valve problem), you may need to limit your activity because of the other heart disease.
Before you start a new exercise program or change your current exercise program:

Click here, or on the image above, to see the trailer for Frankenstein 1970.
"'I, Frankenstein, began my work in the year 1740 A.D. with all good intentions and humane thoughts to the high purpose of probing the secrets of life itself with but one end, the betterment of mankind.' So wrote my celebrated ancestor, but first he had to learn how flesh is made. He had to discover the art of transplanting vital organs from human beings into his creature and knitting them together until they all had all the attributes of God-inspired birth. Of course, I must admit that perhaps he was not too scrupulous about where he got his raw material." — Boris Karloff as Baron Victor von Frankenstein in Frankenstein 1970.
I have always had a peculiar affection for this film, and since right now I'm teaching a course on the Gothic Horror film, but not running this title, I thought I'd say a few words about it here. It was shot in December 1957 in exactly eight days, on sets left over from Too Much, Too Soon, the Diana Barrymore biopic directed by Henry Blanke. The main set was a huge, baronial castle, which fit Frankenstein 1970 perfectly, and the film's director, Howard W. Koch struck a deal to use them on the Warner Bros. lot, inasmuch as Jack L. Warner seemed favorably disposed to the idea.
Karloff was then on a "play or pay" deal with Koch and his partner, Aubrey Schenck — they had to come up with something for Karloff to appear in, or else pay him $30,000 for doing nothing. Karloff's services were too valuable to waste, and so the film was summarily scripted by George Worthing Yates, Aubrey Schenck, Charles A. Moses and Richard H. Landau in record time, going under a number of titles until the team finally settled on Frankenstein 1970.
Actually, I've written about this film many years ago, an essay in a book entitled Approaches to Frankenstein, but since I no longer have a copy, I'm quoting it from memory. Karloff, as Baron Victor Von Frankenstein, is the last surviving member of the line, and has suffered horrible tortures during World War II at the hands of the Nazis, with whom he refused to cooperate. Now, a quarter of a century later, he is alone in his castle, still working on his experiments with life and death, but funding has dried up.
To raise capital for his work, he allows a rather aggressive and intrusive exploitation film crew to shoot a Frankenstein TV special in his castle, which will pay for the nuclear reactor the Baron desperately needs to continue his labors. When body parts prove in short supply, however, he starts systematically killing off members of the film crew, and even his own butler, to obtain the vital organs he needs to continue his research.
In the end, of course, the whole plan falls apart, and the Baron's illicit experimentation is discovered, but in the film's final moments, it's revealed that rather than fashioning some sort of crude human form, the Baron has given the creature his own face, before it was so horribly disfigured by the Nazis. When the police and the remaining members of the film crew break into his lab, they discover that the Baron has audiotaped a record of the entire process, and the film ends with a close-up of a tape recorder playing back his final words, "I gave you a heart, a brain, eyes . . . " and the film fades out.
Shot in what Raymond Durgnat has famously called "the most irredeemable of genres," black and white CinemaScope, Frankenstein 1970 is a cheap film, with numerous defects, mostly on the part of Tom Duggan, a real life newsman who plays one of the supporting roles in the film for added publicity value, and does a very poor job of it. But faced with a mere 8 days to get the film in the can, Koch smartly decided on using long, langorous takes, in which Karloff effortlessly dominates the proceedings.
As an added touch, and for extra revenue, the Baron agrees to act as the narrator of the television special — hence the quote at the top of this post — and as the director tells him after one lengthy take, "Baron, you pick up lines pretty fast." Indeed he does, and the film, with its mournful sense of death, doom, and decay, and more than a little nostalgia for the past, proceeds faithfully along its predestined lines, and has finally been released in its proper CinemaScope aspect ratio as part of a four film box set on Warner Bros. DVD.
It's no masterpiece, by any means, but there's something desperate and appealing about it; it's as if the Baron is rehearsing for the end he knows must come soon, and while shunning publicity, simultaneously embracing it, even as he hurtles headlong into a series of experiments which he fully knows can only end in disaster. Other than an episode of the television series Route 66, this was Karloff's last association with the Frankenstein legend, which he'd rocketed to fame with in the 1931 original film. Everyone involved with Frankenstein 1970 ultimately seemed displeased with the results, including Karloff, but to me it's an inspired riff on the original tale — perhaps because it so deftly deconstructs the legend it traffics in.
Worth a look, but only in the CinemaScope format, which is a revelation.
