Respond: During
Once a disaster happens, you will face many unanticipated situations. Below are steps you may go through as you work to review your situation, begin recovery and clean up efforts, and consider financial assistance options.
It is human nature to want to survey damage as soon as possible, but avoid the urge to rush in to salvage building contents, or to take risks to further protect your property.
- Do not ignore civil authorities' warnings to stay out of restricted areas.
- Pay attention to announcements by local and government officials.
- Obey boil-water orders.
Even if you sustain very little damage, getting to your location may be dangerous. When you receive permission to enter a disaster area, wear hard-soled shoes and watch where you step. Storms dislodge nails, pieces of metal and other construction materials. Roof members, flooring, decking, steps and walls may look intact when they are structurally unsound. There may be hidden electrical hazards.
- First Steps
- Inventory and Insurance
- Staffing Issues
- Clean-up
- Financial Assistance
- Do not use matches, lighters or other sources of flame after a storm.
- Damaged gas lines, leaking fuel containers and tanks may explode or ignite.
- Assume all wires on the ground—including cable TV feeds—are electrically charged.
- Debris can mask danger. Storm trash can ignite if electrical lines are severed underneath.
- Standing water and some appliances can be electrically charged after severe storms.
First Steps
- Communicate with Staff and Others
- Visually Survey the Area First
- Remove Critical Items
Communicate with Staff and Others
Your staff needs to know what is expected of them and you need to know what their personal situation is. Advise necessary officials of the status of your situation, even if you have escaped harm. Refer to the Telephone Contact List.
Visually Survey the Area First
Make certain there are no electrical, chemical or other hazards on site. Report any downed power lines or gas leaks to local authorities as soon as possible. Watch out for flammable liquids that may have spilled.
Place barriers around unsafe areas.
Make temporary repairs. Fasten a tarp over holes in the roof and secure open window areas.
Assess the damage to the building's interior. Refer to your original inspections for before-and-after comparisons.
Examine X-ray equipment and other mechanical and electrical equipment. Do not operate anything until qualified service personnel have inspected it. Professionals should make certain all radiological shielding is still in place, but if you discover, or even suspect, an emergency, immediately contact your State's Department of Health's 24-hour radiological emergency hotline.
If dental records, computers and/or X-ray machines in your office have been damaged, contact the Department of Health.
Remove Critical Items
Secure assistance in removing or mitigating immediate hazards. If there are critical items or records that would be at risk of further damage if they remain in place, move them to a designated, safe place. Take steps to protect what is left as soon as possible.
Thank you to the Florida Dental Association and Florida Dental Health Foundation for providing significant contributions to this content, which were funded in part from the American Dental Association Foundation.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
Four-Way Stop Signs - CAREFUL!
Twice in the past month, I have almost gotten hit by drivers who have blown through a four-way stop sign at 43rd and Coldspring. The last one was a woman traveling at a high rate of speed and chit chatting on her cell phone! She's a lawsuit waiting to happen in some people's minds. I'd like to remind everyone of the fact that they must watch carefully at all stop signs and lights before crossing - if a car seems as though it will not stop, WAIT. If someone is impatient with you because you are waiting and being cautious - too bad. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Be Safe. Don't trust that the other driver will stop because there's a stop sign or a stop light.

|This presentation talks about using the Eclipse JDT for test-first development. A screenCam demo accompanies the talk. The demo, variants of which are normally included as part of the presentation, steps through the construction of a simple Java class using a test-first development process. JUnit tests are built first and then used to drive the actual implementation of the code using Eclipse's code completion and quick fix features. This ScreenCam also demonstrates Eclipse's ability to compile and run code that contains compile errors.

This little guy was so sweet, and his family was utterly adorable. He was 8 days old when we photographed his newborn session, and he slept peacefully the entire time I was there. He had a beautiful head full of dark hair (I adore it when babies have lots of hair – all three of my babies were born bald!). His daddy is in the U.S. Air Force, so we incorporated dad's hat into the session. He was so teeny that he fit right inside the hat! I also loved his airplane-themed nursery.
Congratulations to mom, dad and big sister! Here are some of my favorites from your session.

I spent most of my teenage years staying up late and sipping lattes here. Surrounded by literature, unique people, paninis, and the unmistakable coffee in the air, this is still a bit of LA nostalgia with a kick of cafe novice.

My 4-year old's favorite place for grilled cheese sandwich, and she knows her grilled cheese. I'm vegetarian, and lots of menu selections for any meal. Wait/staff are all very friendly. Don't bother waiting 20 minutes at The Counter, this place has great veg. burger!
Great Place To Study or Have Lunch – I've been to the other Novel Cafes in Santa Monica. This is more like a cafe/restaurant than the coffee/book house on Pier Ave but it is still very good. I see a lot of people going for lunch and dinner during the day, or stopping by in the morning for a quick cup of coffee/latte. The ambience is quite nice, again very different from the other two. I ate breakfast there, even though it was 2pm. Good eggs, great potatoes. I saw them bring out salads and burgers that looked INCREDIBLE though. So I guess that I am going back for those soon. Friendly wait staff and a really nice patio to eat out on during your lunch break. Highly recommend.
ewww – it sux dont go the food is bad the service is crappy and the poeple are rude. there was a fly in my food horible place
Great nook, but the original location is still the best – The Novel has several locations in and around the Santa Monica area, and they all serve up the same great selection of tea and coffee, and pretty good breakfast food as well--The lox platter is my fav. As far as ambiance goes, though, the new expansions lack the cozy, book-ish feel that makes the original novel off of Main make you feel like you've found something special, that the rest of the world knows nothing about.
Wonderful Pico/Ocean Park neighborhood spot -- consistently good food!! – This is good food, well priced. If you get tired of waiting for space at The Counter, this is a good alternative in the same shopping area. Salads are really fresh and inventive, breakfasts are very nice and you can actually hear your partner's conversation! The Huevos Rancheros recently were perfectly made and just spicy enough. Come on folks, if you want glam or foie gras, go elsewhere on the westside, but this is consistently good food, served in a homey atmosphere, with great natural light and outdoor eating space. It's perfect for dining alone or with friends.
what happened to the real coffehouse? – i think the novel cafe was bought by someone who has 6 or 7 places. this is not a real coffeehouse. food is ok but not great. the best coffee house in los angeles was Anastasias Asylum. It disappeared after being on wilshire for over 10 years. no one knows what happened. best food and vibe..we miss it
Editorial Review – Although this cafe is good for settling in, it's much more than just a coffee house, serving full breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
Nothing to write home about... – The ambiance is below average, the service isn't that good and the food is average. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving it a bad review per se, it's just very average. If you are just looking for a decent sandwich and salad, at a reasonable price, this is the place for you. Just don't expect too many frills.
Best soups – I come in almost everyday for their daily soups. My favorite is their tortilla soup. The manager of the place old us that the soups were made from scratch and you can tell they are. I highly recommend this place to health conscious foodies.

Future of the Michigan Economy: An Overview
As a former Treasurer of the State of Michigan, Andy Dillon is fully conversant with the challenges the state faces. Michigan's largest city, Detroit, has filed for bankruptcy protection—Detroit is also the largest city ever to seek bankruptcy protection. Against the backdrop of this rather grim news, Mr. Dillon sheds light on what the future holds for Michigan.
Thursday, November 14, 2013
5 – 6:15 p.m.
242 Elliott Hall
This lecture is free and open to the public.
About the Speaker
Andy Dillon was appointed as Michigan's 44th State Treasurer by Governor Rick Snyder in January 2011. He served in that role until October 2013. In this role Dillon was responsible for overseeing changes made to the state's taxation laws, distributing revenue sharing monies, protecting the credit rating of the state and its local units of governments as well as managing the retirement funds of Michigan's state police and judges, and its state and public school employees.
As Treasurer, Dillon championed legislation to ensure that financially troubled local municipalities and school districts have the necessary tools to provide the essential services residents deserve and avoid bankruptcy. As part of that effort, Dillon worked with locally elected officials to develop the Municipal Services Authority to provide the mechanism for local units to share services. He has also overseen the administration of a complete overhaul of the tax system in the state.
Immediately preceding his time as Treasurer, Dillon served three terms in the Michigan House of Representatives, and was elected by his colleagues to serve as Speaker of the House during his final two terms.
In the Legislature, Speaker Dillon was a leading proponent of energy reform and was one of the chief architects of the 21st Century Jobs Fund, which was created to diversify Michigan's economy and make the state a magnet for the good-paying jobs of the future. Additionally, under Andy Dillon's leadership as Speaker, he led by example through enacting cost saving measures such as: voluntarily giving up his own legislative health care benefits and voting to reduce his own pay by 10% in an effort to help balance the state's budget.
Prior to achieving elected office,Dillon served as the managing director of Wynnchurch Capital, vice president of GE Capital, and worked as a financial analyst at WR Grace. In addition, Mr. Dillon practiced law for seven years after graduating with his law and accounting degrees from the University of Notre Dame, and worked as an administrative assistant to U.S. Senator Bill Bradley.

APA Frequently-Asked Questions
All UWF dissertations must be written in APA style, as set forth in the APA publication manual, 5th edition. UWF provides additional guidance in the UWF Thesis and Dissertation Guide. If there appear to be conflicts between the guide and the APA publication manual, the UWF guidance takes precedence.
Question-and-Answer Links
Use the links below to access questions and answers regarding APA:
Other Formatting Questions
APA Writing Style
Internet Sites for APA
Q: How should I reference new technology, such as wikis, blogs, chats, and podcasts? Is it appropriate to use these new forms of publication?
A: The APA manual cautions against citing electronic sources that (a) are not peer reviewed, (b) do not have scholarly content, and (c) are not archived (see p. 277). However, if your dissertation involves technology that is so new that such sources are the only ones available, you could include them as personal communications (see p. 214), which are cited in text but not included in the reference list. If your electronic source (blog, podcast, or vodcast) has been developed by a reputable scholar, contains scholarly content, and is archived so that it will be available for others to reference, you may include it as a reference; however, be prepared to defend its use to your committee. Note that Wikis are not currently accepted because of the lack of control over the content. New provisions for denoting reviewed and authenticated wiki content may lead to the lifting of this ban for content that has been authenticated.
APA FAQ 1: Use the following format for a podcast:
AuthorName, I. (Producer). (2007). Title of podcast. Podcast retrieved September 1, 2007, from http://www.domain.com/podcast.mp3
APA FAQ 2: Use the following format for a vodcast (podcast with video):
AuthorName, I. (Producer/Director). (2007). Title of vodcast. Vodcast retrieved September 1, 2007, from http://www.domain.com/podcast.mp4
APA FAQ 3: Use the following example for an archived blog:
Downes, S. (2008, January 2). Wikipedia death watch? Message posted to http://www.downes.ca/archive/08/01_02_news_OLDaily.htm
Q: In a reference, how do I format a hyphenated first name, for example, Hyang-Jin Jung?
A: Place a hyphen instead of a space before the second initial: Jung, H.-J. (This answer is based on a citation example found on p. 214 of the publication manual.)
Q: A lot of the online journals are using DOI numbers. What are they? Should I include those in my references? If so, how?
A: One of the downsides of using electronic sources is their tendency to move as sites are reorganized or redeveloped. DOIs (digital object identifiers) provide a persistent link to an object, no matter where it is moved on the Internet. Therefore, APA recommends using DOIs, when available, instead of URLs, which can change. According to the APA Style Guide to Electronic References, "When a DOI is available, include the DOI instead of the URL in the reference" (p. 3). Sometimes the DOI is hidden and can be accessed only by clicking on a button labeled Article in an online reference. If you find a DOI, copy it exactly into your reference. Because the DOI is long, it is better to use your computer's copy and paste functionality. Accuracy is critical because when you make the electronic version of your dissertation, you will need to create a link to the article from the DOI.
APA FAQ 4: Following is an example of a reference with a DOI. Note that just as with URLs, there is no period after the DOI.
Jung, I. (2001). Building a theoretical framework of Web-based instruction in the context of distance education. British Journal of Educational Technology, 32, 525-534. doi: 10.1111/1467-8535.00222

Q: How do you cite direct quotes of bulleted lists?
A: If citing the entire bulleted list, first change the bullets to numbers. Insert quotation marks at the beginning of each item in the list, but do not use end quotation marks except for in the last bullet. Enter the citation before the end punctuation just as you would for any other quotation that uses quotation marks. Keep in mind that the following example would be double spaced if it were part of a dissertation:
Following are the competencies listed in the SCANS report (U.S. Department of Labor, SCANS, 1991):
- "Resources—allocating time, money/ materials, space, and staff;
- "Interpersonal Skills—working on teams, teaching others, serving customers, leading, negotiating, and working well with people from culturally diverse backgrounds;
- "Information—acquiring and evaluating data, organizing and maintaining files, interpreting and communicating, and using computers to process information;
- "Systems—understanding social, organizational, and technological systems, monitoring and correcting performance, and designing or improving systems; and
- "Technology—selecting equipment and tools, applying technology to specific tasks, and maintaining and troubleshooting technologies" (p. iii).
If quoting only some of the bullets for some reason (this is not generally advisable because it can be interpreted as biased "cherry picking" of an author's ideas), then put end quotations and a citation at the end of each bullet.
Q: Which is correct—Heller's and Firestone's (2002) study or Heller and Firestone's (2002) study?
A: Anytime you have a compound possessive, you must consider whether the thing that is possessed (in this case, the study) belongs to one or both. Since Heller and Firestone conducted the study together, cite it as Heller and Firestone's (2002) study. If they had conducted two separate studies, you would cite it as Heller's and Firestone's studies.
Q: How do you quote the Bible?
A: Quoting the Bible is no different from other quotes, except that you cite the book, chapter, and verse instead of providing a page number. In the first citation, you must also include the version that you use. Of course, if you are switching back and forth between versions, you would have to include the version in each citation. Also, according to APA, p. 213, there is no need to have a reference for the Bible.
Example of 1st citation:
- (1 Cor. 13:1, Revised Standard Version)
- According to 1 Cor. 13:1 (Revised Standard Version), love is the essential mark of a Christian.
Example of subsequent citations:
- (1 Cor. 13:1)
- According to 1 Cor. 13:1, love is the essential mark of a Christian.

Other Formatting Questions
Q: I am using two word tables, and both are somewhat lengthy. Can I use a 10-pt. font for my tables?
A: Using a 10-pt. font in tables is acceptable.
Q: What is the APA rule for spacing at the end of a sentence?
A: According to APA guidelines there should be only one space after periods and colons. Microsoft Word provides two helpful options for people who are in the habit of typing two spaces. If you have already begun a document, perform a search-and-replace to find two spaces and replace them with one. If you are just beginning a new document, change the options on your grammar check to check for spaces. That way the mistake is highlighted as you make it.
Q: Is there a template that we can use to check margins and spacing?
A: Yes, there
is a margin
template available on the Web site for the Office of Graduate Studies.
Q: I have one seriated, numbered list that is a direct quote. I treated it as "separate paragraphs" in a series (numbered, but with commas as in the quoted material), even though the list is really a series within a paragraph. Is this correct?
A: Format quoted material as it is in the source--in this case, as a paragraph.
Q: What headings should I use for my dissertation?
A: Use Level 5 headings for your chapter titles and titles of other major dissertation sections. Generally, you will use at least Level 1 and Level 3 headings to help organize the information in all your chapters. If you need another level, use Level 4 headings. Level 2 headings are rarely used; however, they are available in case you need that level of organization.
Q: How should I format the Definition of Terms section in chapter 1?
A: Arrange the terms in alphabetical order and use a separate paragraph for each term. Begin each paragraph with the term formatted as a Level 4 heading (indented, italicized, only the first word capitalized, and ending with a period). Begin the definition on the same line as the heading. Definitions must be complete sentences. Headings used to present terms in the "Definition of Terms" section are the ONLY headings that are not contained in the Table of Contents, and definition paragraphs are the ONLY one-sentence paragraphs allowed in a dissertation.
Q: The UWF Thesis and Dissertation Guide states that there are two options for page numbering. Starting a chapter with a page number at the bottom and then numbering all subsequent pages in the upper right is a formatting nightmare! Is it acceptable to format all page numbers in my dissertation at the bottom of the page?
A: The UWF Office of Graduate Studies has confirmed that both page-numbering styles are acceptable, so it is perfectly acceptable to have page numbers 1" from the bottom throughout your entire dissertation. The Dissertation Template has page numbers at the bottom of the page.
Q: I just got my comments back from a reader, and everywhere I have the word "see" (as in "See Table 1"), the word "see" has been crossed out. Using "see" is correct according to APA. Do I have to make those changes?
A: According to the 2008 version of the UWF Thesis and Dissertation Guide, the word "see" is not used in references to tables, figures, and appendixes. UWF guidance ALWAYS takes precedence over the APA manual, so go ahead and make the changes.
Q: What are the rules for formatting dates in a dissertation?
A: That's a wide-open question because dates are used in different ways. Here are four general guidelines:
Q: When I refer to another chapter in my dissertation, how should I format it? According to APA, "chapter" is not capitalized, but it looks weird to have chapter IV. Should I spell out the number? Do I capitalize the word "Chapter"? Do I use a Roman numeral?
A:You are correct that according to APA, the word "chapter" should not be capitalized. However, APA also specifies that a number should be used instead of a word. Follow this example: Teacher results will be presented in chapter 6.
Q: When I copied my consent form into the appendixes, I noticed that it had a couple of errors in it. Is it okay to just correct them?
A:Do not change any of the materials that you used in your study. Your dissertation is supposed to be an accurate record of what really happened—warts and all. That's why you report limitations. Since you know that there are errors in the form, double space down from the title of the appendix and enter the following: (Reproduced as used). That gives readers a heads-up that there are errors and allows them to consider whether the errors had any effect on your results.
Q: Is this correct? The first research question was, Is there a difference in online course satisfaction between students who meet in person with the instructor and those who do not?
A: No, that statement is not grammatically correct. It should be punctuated as follows:
The first research question was "Is there a difference in online course satisfaction between students who meet in person with the instructor and those who do not?"

APA Writing Style
Q: What is anthropomorphism?
A: Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics to nonhuman entities. According to the APA Style Manual (American Psychological Association, 2001), it is inappropriate in scholarly writing: "An experiment cannot attempt to demonstrate, control unwanted variables, or interpret findings, nor can tables or figures compare (all of these can, however, show or indicate)" (p. 38). Following is a helpful explanation provided during the discussion: Think of a cartoon in which a building is smiling and dancing around. The cartoonist has given the building the ability to show emotions and take actions that are characteristic of humans. Of course, a building cannot do these things. As writers, you are encouraged to use active voice and action verbs whenever possible, but always examine your verbs after you finish your first draft and ask yourself if the subjects of your sentences can really do the things you've said they can or whether you have created a dancing building.
Q: When should I use that, and when should I use which?
A: According to the APA manual (section 2.10, p. 55), use that to introduce essential clauses. These are clauses that are needed to identify the noun that precedes them. Use which to introduce nonessential clauses, which are clauses that are not needed to identify the noun that precedes them.
Q: What is the correct verb tense to use?
A: Your English teachers through the years probably taught you to use present tense when discussing a written work; so now as you compose your literature review, you are using present tense to discuss all those studies. Right? Wrong. According to APA, you should use past tense (their results showed) or present perfect tense (studies have demonstrated) in the literature review. This rule may seem hard to apply when you are discussing what researchers believe. After all, isn't it entirely possible that a researcher still holds a belief that was expressed in a paper written only a year ago? Yes, but consider this grim thought: maybe that researcher is no longer around. For instance, you wouldn't say "Dewey believes" because you know that Dewey is dead. It is better, actually, to avoid words such as believe and use action verbs that can safely and reasonably be written in past tense: stated, wrote, argued, confirmed, etc.
Another common error that people make regarding verb tense occurs when converting the proposal to the first three chapters of the dissertation. When writing the proposal, you use future tense to describe your study because it has not yet occurred. When you complete your study, you need to change all those verbs to past tense. Your results section is also written in past tense. The only time you use present tense in describing your study is in your presentation of your conclusions. APA provides this rationale: "By reporting conclusions in the present tense, you allow readers to join you in deliberating the matter at hand" (p. 33).
Q: I just got my review comments back and there is something about a dropped quote. What's that? My quotation is cited correctly according to APA.
A: The rule about dropped quotes is not in APA but is generally recognized as appropriate to scholarly writing. It is not sufficient to merely drop a quote into a paragraph, even when it is properly cited at the end. All quotations should have some sort of information in the form of a subject and verb that comes before or after the quote to integrate the quote into the paragraph.
Dropped quote: "Every act of intelligence presupposes a system of mutual implications and interconnected meanings" (Piaget, 1963, p. 7).
Corrected quote: According to Piaget (1963), "every act of intelligence presupposes a system of mutual implications and interconnected meanings" (p. 7).
That said, a well-integrated quotation will have the following:

I need to red stroke fields. Inspite of the doc and this great thread : http://forums.adobe.com/message/4215908#4215908,
I can't get it working
field.onDraw = function()
var gx = this.graphics,
pen = this.graphics.newPen (this.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [1, 0, 0,1], 5);
gx.rectPath( this.location[0] , this.location[1], this.size.width, this.size.height);
What am I doing wrong ?
I finally got what I wanted with a workaround. First of all I could get the above snippet adding this line :
field.onDraw = function()
var gx = this.graphics,
pen = this.graphics.newPen (this.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [1, 0, 0,1], 5);
gx.rectPath( this.location[0] , this.location[1], this.size.width, this.size.height);
But the result wasn't the one I expected. The path was indeed drawn inside the text field area when I wanted it outside. Finally my cheat was to create a dummy group object on the back of the text field. Those both objects are placed into a stacked group. Then it's easy to set dimensions and background attributes for the dummy group and finally get what I wanted.
var w = new Window('dialog');
var gp = w.add('group');
gp.orientation = 'stack';
gp.alignChildren = ['center','center'];
var dummyGp = gp.add('group');
dummyGp.preferredSize = [102,52];
dummyGp.graphics.backgroundColor = dummyGp.graphics.newBrush (dummyGp.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [1,0,0,1] );
var tf1 = gp.add('edittext');
tf1.preferredSize = [100,50];
Hope it helps.
Nice one, Loic. But remember that on the Mac and on Windows, the stacked objects are drawn in a different order. So on Windows, your script shows just a red rectangle because the edit field is placed behind the rectangle.
Hi Loïc,
About your workaround, why don't you simply create a Group having 1px margins—this depends on the stroke weight you need—and the desired background color, then add the EditText field within?
Hi Peter, Marc,
Sorry for the delay, I haven't been warned of your posts and almost seen them by surprise.
@Peter, that's the nasty one. The environment should be 100% macs but that's not a reason.
@Marc, I thought margins deal with spacing inside the items. I gave it a try and the margin itself look much wider than requested
If I set margins = 1, I should expect 1 px wide stroke. But it looks like it's three added :?
Hi Loïc,
Yes, it's a Mac thing. On Mac OS, the EditText widget is subject to a specific focus ring wich automatically allocates 2 or 3 additional transparent pixels all around the field! Hence, if the control is nested within a background-colored group, that color is revealed through this additional space.
From that point you need to apply two fixes:
(1) create a white subgroup between the outer group and the EditText to make sure that the revealed background fits the EditText background;
(2) make the EditText borderless to inhibits its own stroke.
Now to the code:
// ScriptUI EditText with custom border (Win & Mac)
// ==========================
var STROKE_COLOR = [1,0,0], // red
STROKE_WEIGHT = 1, // in pixels
FILL_COLOR = [1,1,1], // white
INSET_SPACE = 3; // in pixels -- Mac OS focus ring needs it >=3
var u,
w = new Window('dialog'),
// ---
gBorder = w.add('panel').add('group'),
gSpacer = gBorder.add('group'),
e = gSpacer.add('edittext', u, u, {borderless:true}),
// ---
bCancel = w.add('button', u, "Cancel"),
// ---
gx = w.graphics,
SOLID_BRUSH = gx.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR;
// Edit field settings
// ---
e.characters = 12;
gBorder.margins = STROKE_WEIGHT;
gBorder.graphics.backgroundColor = gx.newBrush(SOLID_BRUSH, STROKE_COLOR );
gSpacer.margins = INSET_SPACE;
gSpacer.graphics.backgroundColor = e.graphics.backgroundColor = gx.newBrush(SOLID_BRUSH, FILL_COLOR );
Hope that works.
