After two weeks of speculation about who will replace Jim DeMint in the U.S. Senate, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley made it official and appointed second term Congressman Tim Scott to fill out the remainder of Senator DeMint's term. (See video below)
In an overwhelming show of unity and support for her decision, the appointment was made by Governor Haley during a late Monday morning press conference where she, Tim Scott, and Jim DeMint were joined by several Republican members of the South Carolina Republican congressional delegation, and senior South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham.
With praise from all, the decision to have Tim Scott fill out the remaining two years of DeMint's term was celebrated as one which help ensure that South Carolinians continue to be represented by the same type of conservative values championed by Jim DeMint, who has been considered the most conservative member of both houses of Congress. But filling DeMint's shoes will not be much of a challenge for Tim Scott who in less than two, already established himself a strong conservative voice. In his first term, Scott turned heads as one of the staunchest supporters of South Carolina's free-rider-anti-union laws and as South Carolina's Club for Growth's scorecard gave Scott a B and a score of 80 out of 100, he is praised by the South Carolina Association of Taxpayers, for his "diligent, principled and courageous stands against higher taxes. It well earned praise for his tireless advocacy for smaller government, lower taxes, and restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington.
After winning the general election in 2010, Tim acted upon his desires to regain fiscal sanity in the federal government and to limit its size and scope by acting on such issues with immediately and with urgency. The first bill he authored would defund and deauthorize the President's health care reform package. e was also named to the influential House Rules Committee, asked to serve as a Deputy Whip and sits as one of two freshmen on the Elected Leadership Committee. Then he confronted our nation's outdated and cumbersome tax code by sponsoring the Rising Tides Act. That initiative would lower burdensome corporate tax rates that discourage job growth and allow for the permanent repatriation of overseas profits. The latter would encourage American companies to bring home more than $1 trillion dollars that can be used for investment and job creation.
In general, Tim Scott is a consistent voice for significant cuts in federal spending, and staunch opponent of measures he believes do not go far enough. Tim was an original cosponsor of the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act, which would do just as it says – cut spending, cap our spending moving forward based on how much we bring in, and add a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He also cosponsored two stand-alone bills that would create a Balanced Budget Amendment, and voted against raising our nation's debt limit.
While Rick Scott is not the only member of Congress who holds such positions, he, like his soon to be predecessor in the Senate, he is one of the few who has been so consistent in those positions. However, while Tim may not be the only member of either house to hold those positions, he is the only African-American in the United States Senate and that distinction will make him a leading voice in the Party, within the conservative movement, and in the nation.
Being African-American, Scott will have an incomparable ability to respond to and discount the left's persistent attempts to paint those who hold his beliefs and political ideology as anti-black. And for a Party that needs desperately to attract Hispanic and African-American voters, the ability to convincingly contradict such mischaracterizations is invaluable. Meanwhile, Scott takes his place in history as only the seventh African-American to serve in the Senate.
Coming before him were Hiram Revels and Blanche K. Bruce, who briefly represented Mississippi during Reconstruction.
The The first African American elected to the Senate by popular vote was Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. Brooke served two full terms during which he championed the causes of low-income housing, an increase in minimum wages, and promoted commuter rail and mass transit systems. He also worked tirelessly to promote racial equality in the South.
Following Brooke in the Senate were Carol Mosley Braun and Barack Obama who were both elected from Illinois. Braun was elected in 1992, a year that saw more women than ever before elected to political office. For Braun the distinction was and is that she became the first and only African-American woman ever to serve as U.S. Senator.
In 2006, Illinois elected Barack Obama to the Senate and in 2009, after becoming President of the United States, another African-American, Roland Burris was appointed to fill out the remainder of his term.
Scott is expected to be officially sworn in to the Senate on January 3rd, 2013 and he has already committed himself to run for election to a full term in the Senate. That race will take place in 2014.
Another Seat Opens as Daniel Inouye Passes Away
On the same day that one replacement is named to the Senate, another seat became vacant as Democrat Daniel Inouye, the U.S. Senate's most senior member and a Medal of Honor recipient for his bravery during World War II, died at age 88.
First elected to the Senate in 1962, Inouye's tenure is second only to Democrat Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who died in 2010.
Under Hawaii law, it is required that the appointee be of the same Party as the person they are replacing. As such the state's Governor, Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, will appoint a Democrats successor to Inouye until a special election can be held. State law also requires that the Governor base his decision on a field of three candidates provided by the state Party. The appointee will then serve until 2014, at which point a special election will determine who serves the final two years of Inouye's term.
Some of the names being considered for submission to Abercrombie by the Hawaii State Democrat Party include U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, 61, who was just re-elected to her second term the House in, and Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz. Other names include Rep.-elect Tulsi Gabbar, the first Hindu-American elected to Congress and who is set to take office in Januar. Also on the list are former Hawaii governors, Ben Cayetano, 73, and John D. Waihee, 66. Odds are though that Hanabusa will get the nod. She is said to have been Inouye's preferred candidate to take his place one day, and news reports following Inouye's death have indicated that the Senator informed Abercrombie that Hanabusa should get his job.

In a desperate move to shift American politics away from the economy, Obama took a controversial idea from Sen. Marco Rubio and made it his own. In fact, he made it so much his own that he decided to leave Congress out of the law making process altogether. Obama enacted the Dream Act by Presidential, unconstitutional executive order. But the real story in the President's announcement was the blunder of a press conference where a reporter shouted out a question and was quickly shut down by Obama.
The question was whether this unilateral decision, dubbed the right thing to do by Obama, was right for the American workers. Obama was visibly upset about the question and asserted his right to speak without interruption. Meanwhile, MSNBC reporters wet themselves with excitement at the opportunity to declare Obama to be the only President to have ever been heckled, and of course to tie it in to his race.
But of course we know that other Presidents and candidates have been heckled. George W. Bush saw it as evidence of a free society that treasures the freedom of expression and dissent. I thought it was an interesting contrast to watch Bush's reaction to two shoes being thrown at him by a foreign reporter in Iraq compared to Obama being questioned while passing down dictates from on high. I've posted them both here. You can decide which President handled it with more class.

1. What is W+A doing in this project?
I supervise/coordinate planning activities for new constructions and extensions to mobile phone sites of the network operators Vodafone and Telefonica using technology from Huawei and Ericsson.
2. What is the approach to or course of action for tackling such an assignment?
• Site handover by the client, review of site documentation by W+A
• Proposal submission/PO generation by W+A
• On receipt of the PO: scheduling a site inspection during which various information is collected, photos taken and a report completed (according to the respective client's specifications) and a draft drawing is prepared
• The inspection documents are forwarded to the client, after which we wait for the client to approve the draft drawing
• The subsequent approach varies depending on the client or project:
1. Development of a draft plan which is forwarded for review and approval. The approval of the draft is followed by the development of an execution plan including any necessary static calculations and workshop drawings for steel constructions.
2. The execution plan, including any necessary static calculations and workshop drawings for steel constructions, is immediately drawn up and submitted for approval.
• Construction work commences once the submitted plan has been accepted by all those involved (client, network operator, co-users, owners, etc.)
• On completion of the building work, the construction company in question provides red-lined documentation detailing any changes made to the original plans.
• These details are then used to create the drawings of the installation, which are handed over to the client or network operator for archiving and to serve as a basis for future planning.
• The work at the site can then be billed to the client.
3. How big is the project?
• Around 12 sites are processed each week.
4. Special assignments?
• There are none as each site is unique.
5. What characterises W+A in this project?
• The fact that we have specialised planners/draughtsmen and structural engineers in-house
6. Impact on the daily life of Joe Public?
• Planning does not impact Joe Public to begin with. He will not notice the improved performance/quality to the respective mobile network until the planned sites have been erected.
7. A look ahead to the future …
• The need for new constructions and extension plans will continue into the future as the mobile communications market is continuously growing, changing and developing.

- Stocks To Watch
Stocks Jump But Watch Out for the Disappearing Equity Risk Premium
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Stocks rebounded from yesterday's rout today as 3M (MMM), Visa (V), Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN), Allergan (AGN) and Mosaic (MOS) helped lead the major indexes higher.
The S&P 500 rose 1.1% to 1,838.88, its largest gain since Dec. 18, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.7% to 16,373.86, snapping a four day losing streak.
Stocks were given a boost by better-than-forecast retail sales in December, which rekindled hope that the economy wouldn't experience a growth fear similar to years past. Citigroup's Peter D'Antonio explains:
The way we're looking at this report, any positive number on core retail sales should be seen as strong. Although markets tend to get keyed up about December retail sales (and the holiday shopping season), the real action actually occurred by November this year. The previous three months' core readings were up 1.6% (not annualized), implying a very high starting point for holiday sales.
Yet despite the numbers, stocks look far less attractive than they did a year ago, when stocks were cheap and bonds expensive and that meant investors should favor the former over the latter. Those days are gone, says Societe Generale's Alain Bokobza and team. They write:
The process of normalisation (convergence of ERP with long-term average ERP) of the equity risk premium that began around two years ago is approaching an important inflexion point for the US equity market. Due to the rapid rise in US government bond yield, our proprietary equity risk premium model indicates that the US equity risk premium is on the verge of moving below its long-term average. Historically, bonds are considered to be cheap relative to equities once equity risk premiums move below their long-term averages.
Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich believes we are in a secular bull market but warns of a bumpy ride. He writes:
One has to remember that there can be a secular run with substantive bumps along the way. No one questions the 1982-2000 equity bull market but there were some awful moments in that 18-year period including the stock market crash of 1987 and the sharp pullback in 1990 as well as in 1998. Thus, when lead indicators of volatility emerge, it is wise to pay attention and see them as buying opportunities to be expected and pounced upon...
A pick up in volatility should be anticipated as earnings become the main driver now and interest rates may become a headwind. Stocks outpaced underlying earnings by a factor of five in 2013 and it is likely that such gains are not going to be repeated. Indeed, the shape of the yield curve is quite effective as a two-year lead on market volatility and thus one should expect more choppiness in 2014 and probably 2015 than the fairly smooth experience of the past year. In this context, considering a 5%-10% pullback seems not only plausible but fairly rational.
Shares of 3M rose 2% to $137.41 today as a Nomura report mentioned it in a positive light, while Visa gained 1.7% to $222.65 after JPMorgan (JPM) said it had sold some shares but would remain a larger holder of its stock. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals advanced 12% to $300.32 after it said Eylea sales rose, Allergan jumped 5.9% to $121.22 after won a patent case that would protect one of its drugs, and Mosaic climbed 4.1% to $48.03.

The Great Starbucks Bagel Grammar Foofaraw
Have you ever gone into a Starbucks and cursed their fake "Venti, Grande" size names? Sure. Gimme a "Large," amirite? And have you ever had police remove you from Starbucks for arguing about bagel-related grammar? Anyone? One lady has!
Lynne Rosenthal, an English Ph.D., is the type of English Ph.D.-holder who does her part for society by enforcing the rules of grammar (as interpreted by Lynne Rosenthal) with a fierceness usually associated with female tigers protecting their young. Not only does Lynne Rosenthal refuse to play the Starbucks Fake Italian Name for Sizes game—she also refuses to order her bagel with or without specific toppings. Uh, hero?
[Scene: Rosenthal goes into an 86th St. Starbucks and orders a multigrain bagel. The counterperson asks her "Do you want butter or cheese?" Oh no she didn't!]
"I just wanted a multigrain bagel," Rosenthal told The Post. "I refused to say 'without butter or cheese.' When you go to Burger King, you don't have to list the six things you don't want.
"Linguistically, it's stupid, and I'm a stickler for correct English."
Huh. You know I'm no English Ph.D., but I could swear that "Do you want butter or cheese?" would actually be considered "correct English." Maybe they changed the grammar rules and whatnot since my days in school, though, who knows.
So anyhow Lynne Rosenthal argued with the Starbucks employee so much that eventually the police had to come in and ask her to leave. It's heroes like Lynne Rosenthal who sacrifice so that future generations may not be forced by The System to say the words "Plain, please."

Figurative Glass Sculpture
About The Artist
Townsend is a self-taught artist, with over 30 years of experience in his field. His 10 year study of dancers in New York City had a profound influence on his style, leading to the clean lines and focus on motion that he has become known for. His background in classical music was instrumental in developing the preference for structure and form that permeates his work today.
Milon Townsend uses torches to melt the glass that he works with, a technique called flameworking. Colors are twisted upon themselves and encased inside the glass; delicate patterns are etched into sheets of dichroic glass; elements are ground and polished in preparation for assembly; ultraviolet adhesives are employed to laminate pieces together. Townsend uses modern technological innovations, traditional Italian techniques such as murrine and filigrana, and methods that he himself has developed to create the sculptures that appear in his mind.
Townsend is the author of six books. They include technical instruction manuals for flameworking glass, marketing guidelines and insight for all artists, and contemplative philosophical volumes. He is currently writing his next three books, and writes columns for 3 periodicals. He has also produced a series of eight videos, demonstrating the techniques that he has developed, making the information available to other artists in his field. After a series of stores in the Rochester area in the '70's, Townsend traveled the country, and settled in New York City from 1980 - 1992. He has created works for Pres. George Bush (the elder), Arnold Palmer, and Cyrus Vance. Corporate clients include Bristol-Myers-Squibb, AT&T, Ford, & BusinessWeek magazine.
His work has been featured on the covers of Omni and Aviation Week & Space Technology magazines. He has taught at RIT's School of the American Craftsman, at Urban Glass in NYC, been a visiting artist at RISD and is a regular teacher at The Studio at the Corning Museum. His artwork is in the permanent collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art, American Glass Museum, and the National Liberty Museum. He is a member of the National Sculpture Society, the Salmagundi Club, and is on the Board of Directors of the Arts Business Institute. He works with a loosely configured team of skilled glass artists, who are an integral part of the creation of his pieces. He lives and works just outside a small village near Rochester, New York, with his wife Kiyoko and their son Timo.

Seri sez: The Disciplined HealerOctober 30, 2008
Since patch 3.0.2 went live, the Discipline tree has been getting more attention. Some have embraced its new PVE potential, while others dismiss it as once and forever the realm of the PVP Priest.
Deny it if you will, but Disc is back for PVE in a big way. Re-tuned with a focus on damage prevention, the Discipline Priest now shines not only as a tank healer but as what I like to call the 'oh shit healer.' I've been raiding as Disc since 3.0.2, and while I would like to try out the new Holy tree some day I have to admit I'm kind of liking it where I am.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and tweaking of my recommended spec since the patch went live, based on my own experience and community discussion. I could write a whole other post about the Disc talents and why they are nifty (heck, maybe I will) but for now I'm going to limit myself to suggesting another spec: 56/5/0
The biggest changes here are dropping Reflective Shield (self-only as of 3.0.2) and dropping Divine Fury in favor of Enlightenment. (Thanks to Sinuviel over at PlusHeal for pointing that out to me.)
So! Let's talk turkey, and I don't mean the Thanksgiving kind. As a Disc priest you are most likely to be tasked with tank healing. For most healers, this means replenishing the water in the bucket before it all leaks out. For the Disc priest, it also means slowing the rate of leakage!
This is not a one-button healing spec; a good Disc priest will use all the tools at their disposal for maximum effect. What spells will you be using the most? Prayer of Mending, Renew and the four "P's" of Discipline: Power Word: Shield, Pain Suppression, Power Infusion and Penance.
Shield your tank whenever possible. Not only will it mitigate some damage, it increases your effectiveness as a healer. With proper talent selection, you'll have an increased chance to crit when healing someone with the Weakened Soul Debuff (Renewed Hope), you'll get mana back from damage absorbed by the shield (Rapture) and gain up to 25% spell haste (Borrowed Time) on your next spell after casting PW:S.
Don't be afraid of Pain Suppression. Tank threat is through the roof right now, so you're not going to create a dangerous situation unless you're throwing it on them during the initial pull. If your tank is in trouble, use Pain Suppression. Otherwise, just toss it on your local aggromonkey as needed.
Power Infusion; It's not just for DPS! Infusing yourself is a great way to make those emergency heals land faster and cost less. It doesn't invoke the global cooldown, so use it whenever you like. Add it to your Greater Heal macro or something.
Use Penance. It is an awesome spell for fast responses to damage spikes, but you'll want it in your normal healing rotation too. A lot of the time, you can keep a tank up with nothing but PW:S, Renew, Prayer of Mending and Penance with the occasional Flash or Greater Heal thrown in. Eventually you'll get a bit of a rotation down.
Speaking of rotations, for most situations I usually start with Penance once my tank starts taking damage, following up with Renew and PW:S. If needed, I'll toss in a hasted FH or GH (courtesy of Borrowed Time) and/or a PoM, then should be about ready to Penance again. After that, I just watch my tank while my spell cooldowns are ticking and toss Flashes and Greaters in where needed.
Depending on the amount of incoming damage you're dealing with, you may need to adjust your strategy. When you're casting multiple instant cast spells in a row, the time you spend waiting on the global cooldown is time that your tank isn't getting incoming heals. If incoming damage is high, you may need to limit yourself to one instant at a time between Greater Heals/Penance, or even chain cast Greater Heal/Penance until the spike is over. (Power Infusion can be very helpful in these situations!) Above all, be flexible and adapt to the healing needs of your tank.
If you find yourself assigned to raid healing, you should talk with your raid leader or healing lead. As a Discipline priest, tank healing is where you'll shine so if your raid team doesn't need you to tank heal they should perhaps re-evaluate whether or not Divine Spirit is reason enough to gimp a raid healer.
Personally, if I'm tasked with raid healing I consider it license to Smite. *wink*

Occupy Research is at Facing Race in Baltimore – check out this panel tomorrow at 11am!
Where is the Color in Occupy? Race, Class and Gender in the Occupy Movement
|Kate Khatib, Editor, AK Press
|Christine Schweidler, Research Director, DataCenter
|Maria Poblet, Executive Director, Causa Justa :: Just Cause
|Janée Woods Weber, Program Officer, Everyday Democracy
When a Canadian magazine, Adbusters, issued the call last summer to Occupy Wall Street, no one could predict the response that would follow. Many have pointed to the lack of race-explicit analysis by the Occupy movement and the domination of white middle class participation. Organizers of color involved with Occupy discuss how race is manifested in their city and how Occupy can lead with a race-explicit analysis.

Uses winnings on foundation for addicts and abused
Unemployed, in debt and facing another year living on the streets in Hungary, László Andraschek spent his last remaining coins on a lottery ticket. Now the formerly homeless man has a choice of accommodation around the world after becoming one of Hungary's biggest lottery winners, with a prize of about $2.8 million.
Andraschek, whose 630m Hungarian forint win last September went unnoticed until he made a significant donation to a hostel for the homeless this month, said buying the ticket was a chance decision at a railway station on his way to Budapest for a workshop for recovering alcoholics.
"I had only picked six numbers and the female shop assistant reminded me that I needed to pick a seventh," he said. "I told her to make it 24 — it doesn't matter, anyway."
But he was wrong and now plans to use his winnings to establish a foundation for addicts and women abused by their husbands.
The 55-year-old resident of Gyor, north-west Hungary, said his first act was to repay his debts, before cycling to a car dealer. "When the car salesman asked me how much I would be willing to spend, I held up three fingers. As I had arrived on a bike he assumed this meant 300,000 forints, but actually I meant 3m."
As neither he nor his wife can drive, the car will be driven only by his children.
Andraschek has since bought flats for each of his three children, paid off the debts of his relatives and is planning to travel to Italy, having not previously held a passport.
He and his wife, Anikó, said they will invest their money cautiously and avoid the ruinous spending splurges of many a lottery winner. "I have become rich but I have not become a different person. I could buy a large-screen TV because I can afford it, but I won't buy three because I can afford it."
Having struggled with alcoholism, Andraschek finally quit five years ago and says he "now has no need to return".
The news of Andraschek's dramatic upturn in fortunes came as human rights activists organised a wave of protests worldwide against a new Hungarian law that bans sleeping rough, in a country that has 30,000 homeless people. Last week alone, demonstrations were held in front of Hungarian embassies and consulates in London, Paris, New York, Vienna, Lisbon, Dublin, Brussels, Essen and Istanbul. Next weekend a Hungarian NGO run by homeless people, A Város Mindenkié (The City is for All), will stage another protest in Budapest against the law, which threatens those living on the streets with a fine or imprisonment.

The best kind of winner! One down and out.
I'm happy for him and may he have fun spending it on whatever he sees fit. You only live once.
And for the comments that will come along the lines of: he will be broke in a couple years/months, he will start
drinking again, or he will give it all away taking care of family and friends....remember, it is his and he won it.
His situation before winning could happen to any of us and whatever his life becomes after winning can happen
to any of us too...good or bad.
WTG Andraschek!

Nice catch! I'm hoping he'll stretch this money as far out as possible. No more homelessness. I have to wonder though where his wife and kids were before he won this money. Had they abandoned him? I hope not.
That money's gone fo ever
Congratulations Mr on your BIG WIN Spend Wisely
That's awesome, congratulations
My thoughts exactly. Plus l wonder what the cost of living is in Hngary? Nevertheless- more power to thus guy. All good things come to those who wait, its been said. Glad his ship finally came in. That's a Gloria moment.
That's the $2.8 million dollar question. I could understand if he were still drinking, but if he stopped 5 years ago, why did the family and friends he's now taking care of, have him living on the streets, risking imprisonment???
Other than that headscratcher, good for him. Sounds like the dollar really stretches over there and he seems like a decent, generous guy, so I hope he'll be comfortable for the rest of his life.
yea really nice story this one.Happy for this guy that he has the power now to change many things in the lives of many ppl.
Dreams and wishes do come true if believe. Big congrats to him !!!
simply amazing .
not buying the homelessness claim prior to his win. wife probably just threw him out daily until he found work.
now these are the stories I like to hear....Best of luck to him and his family.That's too awesome
"No matter how bad things may get, I'd like to thank my middle finger
for always sticking up for me.."
Congratulation Mr Andraschek, glad he's giving back. I too wonder where his family was when he was on the streets anywho WTG
I Love Pink & Green 1908
I guess he won't go hungary anymore....ba dum chhh!
Great story, He's got a second chance at a fulfilling life.
Congrats to the lucky man.

Full of Scrap,
Lisa Gordon,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
worker safety
Reporting on the recycling industry requires the ability to tackle diverse subjects on a moments notice. But there is one topic with which I am never comfortable, haunting me well after deadlines pass.
The death of a scrapyard worker is truly a horrible occurrence. I make every attempt to not miss a single one because I can only hope that reports are posted in lunchrooms as a real reminder that people do die in the industry and to illustrate that they are preventable. While acts of God are known to happen, nearly every fatality at a scrapyard is the result of human error: a polite way of saying an employees death often is the result of his own choices and actions.
The fatal accident that stays in my memory to this day was one involving a man who died after climbing into a baler to clear a machine jam. This tragedy, like so many others, didnt have to happen. In addition to shutting down the equipment, if the power source had been switched off at the utility box the accident couldnt have occurred. Generally, when a jam is cleared the machine will start back up. Was he in a hurry, or running late, or just plain tired from working a long shift? We will never know, but the shortcut left behind a grieving family, including a baby who will never have any recollection of his father.
Looking at the circumstances involving scrapyard deaths over the past year indicates that so many of them were senseless.
A worker whose job was to feed an aluminum shredder died when he stepped onto a hopper to free a piece of jammed metal and either fell into the shredder or became caught. Either way, it is another example of an accident that could have been prevented if the power had been locked out. Likewise, a worker decommissioning a car was crushed to death when the gas tank he used to prop up the vehicle failed, proving that shortcuts just arent worth the risk.
Having almost been run over at a scrapyard myself, its all too clear how quickly accidents can happen. While walking by a shredder, I almost headed straight into the path of a backhoe because its noise was drowned out by that of the shredder. Luckily, someone pulled me out of harms way, but it happened in a split second and I never saw it coming. It was made clear to me how important it is to pay attention, look both ways and never assume the driver sees you; in fact, it makes good sense for the pedestrian to assume that the driver doesnt see him.
Any worker who thinks he is doing a service to his company by cutting corners is sadly mistaken, and instead risks imposing trauma on his colleagues and management, as well as his own family.
Industrial accidents warrant an investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which almost always lead to fines. I cant recall a single instance where OSHA didnt fine a company when a worker was killed on the job, even though it cited negligence by the deceased employee. I find it hard to fathom how a company can be responsible for an employees actions, but a review of OSHA statistics fortifies the fact that companies will be fined regardless of whether the fault lies with the worker or the company.
One company was assessed a $150,000 fine after an employee was killed doing maintenance work on a shredder. A worker assisting on the job helped to pin open the top of the shredder and left the area; when he returned, he found the co-worker had been crushed to death
Another recycler was fined $186,000 for a workers death even though the report stated, Employee #1 was operating the trommel. It jammed. He decided to unjam the machine without isolating and locking it out. He entered the trommel. As he unjammed the machine, it started up. The moving debris and machine parts killed him. Nearly one-third of the fine was for failing to lock out the power sourceÑwhich the worker chose not to do.
However, these incidents highlight the importance of regular testing, safety training and perhaps even role-playing scenarios aimed at preventing such disasters.
Just as libel training and tests are the norm in publishing to ensure responsible reporting, perhaps a similar testing mechanism could be implemented by metal recyclers. These tests could present a real-life situation and offer employees multiple-choice answers regarding the best approach for resolving the issue safely. In addition, employees could be asked to sign a statement indicating they have taken the test and understand how critical it is to follow the rules. Employers also should make safety training a regular requirement, and make it clear to workers that they must refuse to go along with others who want to cut corners and create a risky environment.
The bottom line: theres no place for shortcuts in recycling, and industrial fatalities simply are not acceptable.

Warm-Weather Getaway in Savannah, Georgia
Lined with twisty, moss-draped oaks, the historic district of Savannah, Georgia, offers romantic inns, chic cafes, stirring glimpses of our nation's past—and an easy escape from winter's chill in the Midwest.
A group of tourists stands in the basement of First African Baptist Church, staring at mysterious holes in the floor. Slaves founded First African, the oldest black church in the country, in 1777. Later, the church was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Escaped slaves hid under these planks, breathing through the holes drilled in a pattern as pretty as the punched tin on a pie safe. The design, a guide explains, is an African meditation symbol meaning "flash of the spirit." Here, crouching under points of light that meant something only to them, slaves began their journey to freedom.
History weighs heavy in First African, but step outside, and Savannah, Georgia, feels as light and happy as a city spun from cotton candy. Fairy-tale carriages roll slowly past elegant, shoulder-to-shoulder homes. The brown-sugary perfume of pralines wafts in the air. Spanish moss drips from curving oaks, and every March, thousands of azaleas bloom in a stunning pink dsiplay that seems to say, "What? Winter?" (Even in January, when temps here average in the 50s, hardy Midwesterners stroll in shorts.) From the heart of town, the Savannah River flows 15 miles through bird-filled marshes to the Atlantic. But the bitter legacy of slavery, Civil War and segregation temper Savannah's sweetness. The best way to know the city is to taste both flavors.
And that's easy, because the city's history is written in its geography. In 1733, Gen. James Oglethorpe planned Savannah with four open squares for military drills; as the city grew, the squares multiplied. Today, 22 remain, holding the street grid in place like big green pegs. Roads seem to dead-end at these parks but then wrap around them, an inefficient system that slows traffic but makes the town a pedestrian's dream.
Every park has a different character. In busy Wright Square, itinerant vendors twist palm fronds into flowers called Savannah roses. A popular souvenir, they commemorate the blooms Confederate soldiers wore as a sign of peace after surrendering in nearby Johnson Square.
The Civil War left Georgia in ruins, and you still can sense the friction. On narrated trolley tours, guides poke gentle fun at the "Yankees" on board while pointing out sites from Forrest Gump and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. But feeling a little like a foreigner - different accents, flowers, flavors - is part of the fun. At the stylish Gryphon Tea Room, Savannah College of Art and Design students serve iced tea with a pitcher of sugar syrup. One Fish Two Fish sells candleholders shaped like magnolias. Palm trees grow outside the plush Azalea Inn and Gardens.
Well outside of Savannah's gentrified core, a Northern-turned-Southerner named Joe Randall hosts visitors in his tiny demo kitchen for classes in Low-Country cuisine-stewed okra, red rice and butter beans, peach-blueberry tart. Chef Joe also cooks up the kind of goodwill people here know now to take for granted. Nearly 50 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. rehearsed his "I Have a Dream" speech in First African Baptist Church. Today, a few miles away, folks of all colors gather to learn how to fry green tomatoes.
"Southern food is good food because they aren't afraid of seasoning. Just throw in some bacon and cayenne," says Joe, plopping another stick of butter into his pan. "That's not so unusual now, but in the '60s, America's culinary landscape was a less seasoned place." History often casts the South as catching up with the North, but knowledge flows in every direction. Chef Joe watches his students, who have come from Iowa, Michigan, Connecticut and the other side of Savannah, tuck into his ethereal crab cakes. Before the night is over, two couples have already planned return visits.

"This court is aware that the majority of voters oppose same-sex marriage, but it is our country's proud history to protect the rights of the individual, the rights of the unpopular and the rights of the powerless, even at the cost of offending the majority. Whether it's the NRA protecting our right to bear arms when the City of Chicago attempted to ban handguns within its city limits; or when Nazi supremacists won the right to march in Skokie, Illinois a predominantly Jewish neighborhood; or when a black woman wanted to marry a white man in Virginia; or when black children wanted to go to an all-white school, the Constitution guarantees and protects ALL of its citizens from government interference in those rights. All laws passed whether by the legislature or by popular support must pass the scrutiny of the United States Constitution, to do otherwise diminishes the Constitution to just a historical piece of paper."
And so marks the beginning of the end of Florida's constitutional amendment banning same-sex couples from marrying. Right now, Circuit Judge Luis M. Garcia's (a Jeb Bush appointee, by the way) ruling applies only to Monroe County — that is, the Keys, and marriages there will begin July 22, barring a stay — but there are two other quite-similar lawsuits currently making their way through state and federal court, and were I a betting man I'd wager this question is dead and settled by year's end.
The only real question, in fact, is whether Attorney General Pam Bondi — last seen telling the world that allowing two individuals who love each other to marry will cause "significant public harm" — will bother to appeal.
Pam Bondi will appeal. (Of course she did. It's an election year.)
I'll have more to say on this later, but for now, you can peep the decision here.
In the meantime, if you're still wondering why this stuff matters, why same-sex couples deserve and demand each and every right the rest of us take for granted, and why these rights are more important than whatever prejudice-by-way-of-religious-conviction you may have, here you go.

France took the first step in approving the European Union's fiscal pact, despite opposition from a public tired of austerity and members of President Francois Hollande's coalition government who oppose its measures.
Reuters reported Wednesday that the pact, which was agreed to in March by Hollande's predecessor Nicolas Sarkozy, requires countries in the bloc to adhere to budgetary discipline that will require France to cut its deficit to only 3% of GDP. Approval by the cabinet is just a preliminary; Parliament must still give the go-ahead, even as the measure's popularity sinks.
However, support for the EU is waning in France as people weary of cutbacks and high unemployment. In fact, a survey released Monday indicated that almost two-thirds of voters would now reject the 1992 Maastricht Treaty that led to the euro. European Affairs Minister Bernard Cazeneuve commented on the poll's results Tuesday, saying in the report, "The public is falling out of love with the European Union."
If at least 12 countries in the 17-nation currency bloc give the go-ahead by Jan. 1, the pact will go into effect. Six countries, including Germany, have already signed on.
The pact is, however, seen as a means of attacking the eurozone debt crisis by compelling member countries to get their fiscal houses in order. Public deficits must be cut or countries will be penalized by sanctions that could include fines.
Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, whose cabinet approved the pact on Wednesday, hoped for more enthusiasm from the broader Parliament. In the report he was quoted saying, "There are still waverers and those who are hostile … My objective, and the government's, is to convince the highest number possible. Parliament's approval, which I hope will be massive, will give even more force to the president's voice in European negotiations."
However, some Socialist members of the government will almost certainly vote against it. Still, fighting the crisis is seen as essential. "We don't like this pact, it is a Sarkozy legacy," said Elisabeth Guigou in the report. Guigou, who is head of Parliament's foreign affairs committee and one of the senior Socialists responsible for wooing support among the governing coalition for the pact, added, "But you don't have to love a pact to ratify it. It's one part of a deal and just the first step."

Every programmer knows that errors lurk near boundaries: for example, at the beginning and end of arrays, or at the point in execution where an array becomes empty. Our discussion of verb rank omitted one important situation: suppose there are no cells? An operand with no cells is said to be empty, and it gets special treatment in J.
The definition of an empty operand is not as obvious as you might think. An array is empty if it has no atoms (i. e. has a 0 in its shape), but whether an operand is empty depends on the rank of its cells: it is empty if there is a 0 in the frame with respect to the cells operated on by the verb. Consider an array with shape 3 0 4 . This is an empty array, because it has no atoms. As an operand of a verb with rank 0, it has frame 3 0 4, so there are no cells and the array is an empty operand. As an operand of a verb with rank 1, it has frame 3 0 and again is empty. As an operand of a verb with rank 2, though, it has frame 3 and is not empty: there are 3 cells, each of which has shape 0 4 . In this case each cell is an empty array, but the operand is not empty. As an operand of a verb with rank 3 or higher, the frame is empty and each cell has shape 3 0 4, so there is one cell and the operand is not empty, though each cell is an empty array. You can see that an operand may have items and yet be an empty operand, if the verb operates on cells smaller than items, as is the case in this example for a verb of rank 0 or 1.
We are left with the question, What is executed when an operand is empty? For something must be executed. It is fundamental in J that if a verb produces a result with shape s when applied to a single cell, executing that verb over an array of that cell--even an array of none of them--produces an array of results each with shape s. The only way to find out what shape a verb is going to produce is to execute it and see--and that is what J does.
If an operand is empty, i. e. its frame contains a 0 and it therefore has no cells, the verb is executed on a cell c of fills. The shape of c is the shape of a cell of the corresponding operand, and the value of each atom is the appropriate fill for that operand: 0 for numeric operands, ' ' for characters, a: for boxes. The shape s and type t of the result of executing the verb on c are noted. Then, the shape of the overall result is the frame of the operand (the longer frame, for dyads) concatenated with s, and the result is given type t. The result will necessarily be empty, because it will have a 0 in its shape (from the frame, which contained a 0). Example:
$ +/"2 (3 0 3 4 $ 100)
3 0 4
Remember that a cell has a shape, even if there are none of them! Here the verb monad +/"2 is applied to 2-cells, each with shape 3 4 . The frame 3 0 contains a 0, so the verb is executed on the fill cell c which is (3 4 $ 0). Monad +/ adds the items of the cell, producing a list with shape 4 . The frame 3 0 is concatenated with 4 to give the shape of the result, 3 0 4 .
3!:0 +/"2 (3 0 3 4 $ 100)
The verb 3!:0 (one of dozens of special goodies provided by the !: conjunction and documented under Foreigns) tells you the type of its operand. Here, 4 means numeric type: the result has shape 3 0 4 and numeric type.
$ <"2 (3 0 3 4 $ 100)
3 0
3!:0 <"2 (3 0 3 4 $ 100)
Here the verb monad < was applied to the same fill-cell c (3 4 $ 0) but it produced as result a scalar box (shape empty), so the shape of the overall result is the frame 3 0 concatenated with an empty list, i. e. shape 3 0 and type boxed (as indicated by the 32 returned by 3!:0).
Note that in an empty array of boxes, each box is itself empty (of course, the number of such boxes is 0, since the array is empty, but by now you know that empty nouns can still have a shape--the point here is that they cannot have nonempty contents). The contents of a box are lost when the box becomes part of an empty array. In the example <"2 (3 0 3 4 $ 100), execution on the fill-cell produced (<3 4 $ 0), and if the frame weren't empty the box would contain an array; but when the frame is empty, the value of the result is discarded; all that remains is its type.
If executing the verb on a cell of fills results in an error, execution continues as if the verb had returned the scalar 0 :
5 + ' '
|domain error
| 5 +' '
Trying to add 5 to a space is nonsense...
5 + ''
$ 5 + ''
(3!:0) 5 + ''
...but adding 5 to an empty list of characters produces an empty numeric list. The addition is attempted with a cell of fills for the empty operand (the values added are 5 on the left, ' ' on the right), the addition fails, and the error-fallback result of scalar 0 is used; the 0, being a scalar, has a shape which is an empty list; appending the longer frame (0) gives shape 0, numeric. Note that y here is an empty operand, but it nonetheless has the longer frame (the scalar x has empty shape and perforce empty frame).
Note: there is much special code in the interpreter to handle the cases of empty operands. To improve performance, the interpreter recognizes a great many combinations of verb, operand shape, and type, handling each with separate code. In most cases the interpreter produces its result in accordance with the rules given above, but in a few exotic cases it deviates. You are quite unlikely to encounter these cases in practice; the most important one is
$ > 0$a:
where the rules given above would predict a shape of 0 0 . Enough applications rely on shape 0 to keep this deviation in the system, at least as of J6.01.
As we discussed above, a cell, like any array, is called empty if it has a 0 in its shape. Whether the cells of an operand are empty is independent of whether the operand itself is empty.
How a verb handles an empty cell is entirely up to the verb; the fill-cell processing we discussed above does not apply. The J primitives generally preserve the type of empty lists that are 'data' but ignore the type of empty lists that are 'control information'. So, even though characters are not allowable left operands of dyad |., '' |. i. 5 produces the same result as (0$0) |. i. 5, because the rotation count is 'control information'. In contrast, 3 {. '' produces a 3-character string, while 3 {. (0$0) produces a 3-item numeric list, because the right operand of dyad {. is 'data'. The distinction between 'control information' and 'data' is not clear-cut, but in all cases the interpreter does what you'd want it to, and you should experiment if you need reassurance.
Sometimes executing a verb on a cell of fills simply won't do: maybe your verb produces a side effect, or maybe it will go berserk if its operand is 0 . In those cases, you must take steps to ensure that it is not executed on an empty list. To help you out with the most common case, in which the only way a list can be empty is to have no items (that is another way of saying that the first item of the shape is 0), I offer you a set of adverbs and conjunctions which you can have by executing
load 'system\packages\misc\jforc.ijs'
u Ifany applies the verb u (which may be monadic or dyadic) provided y has items; if y has 0 items, the result of u Ifany is y :
$ (,/) i. 0 4
$ (,/) Ifany i. 0 4
0 4
Since i. 0 4 has no items, Ifany caused it to be passed through unchanged.
x u Ifanyx y produces x u y if x has items, or y if x has no items.
The conjunction u Butifnull n can be monadic or dyadic; it applies u if y has items; if y has no items it produces a result of n .
5 + Butifnull 6 (0)
5 + Butifnull 6 (0$0)
x u Butifxnull n y produces x u y if x has items, or n if x has no items.

Color contact lenses for Halloween may carry blindness risk
Color contact lenses may seem like the perfect addition to your Halloween costume, but wearing them may come at great risk to your eye health.
Color contact lenses, also known as decorative contact lenses or fashion contact lenses, cover the eye and can change a person's eye color or give the eye a spooky, animal-like appearance. But, experts warn that the contacts are also medical devices that should be regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That means if you are picking up a pair without a prescription or if they are being sold as a cosmetic product, the law is being broken.
Part of the risk is that people often don't go to the ophthalmologist or optometrist to make sure that the contacts fit properly. Improper fit can lead to scratches on the cornea, which is the clear dome of tissue above the colored iris portion of the eye. People can also get an ulcer on the cornea, known as a corneal infection. There's also the risk of getting conjunctivitis, or pink eye, and having decreased vision. It some cases, these problems could lead to blindness.
And the health risks could occur with only one wearing.
"Wearing it for a couple seconds could cause damage," Dr. Edward Kondrot, an ophthalmologist and the founder of the Healing The Eye & Wellness Center in Dade City, Fla., said to CBSNews.com. "If its poorly fit, you could develop a scratch on the cornea, and it becomes an open wound."
Not keeping the contact lenses clean and moist can also lead to infections, the Food and Drug Administration pointed out on a post on its website. The problem is not the contact lenses themselves, but the fact that people often use them without consulting an eye care professional, don't have a prescription and do not use the proper care.
"Bacterial infections can be extremely rapid, result in corneal ulcers, and cause blindness -- sometimes within as little as 24 hours if not diagnosed and treated promptly," said Dr. Bernard Lepri, an optometrist at FDA.
Many people are using contacts for the first time when they buy it for a costume, and they don't even know how to put them in. This further increases the risk for scratching or damaging the eye.
"You're decked out in your Halloween costume, you have makeup on your face and mascara, which probably harbors bacteria, and your hands are dirty," Kondrot added.
He also warned that some lenses themselves may be worrisome. Some unregulated, illegal products may use dyes that contains heavy metals like mercury and lead.
"These are toxic chemicals that can actually penetrate the eye and enter the nervous system," he warned. "This should scare people enough to not wear these."
The FDA said that people should never buy color contact lenses from street vendors, salons or beauty supply stores, boutiques, flea markets, novelty stores, Halloween stores, record or video stores, convenience shops, beach shops or the Internet, unless the site requires a prescription. These places are not authorized to sell contact lenses.
If you still really want to wear the decorative lenses, the FDA recommended getting an eye exam from a qualified professional and getting a valid prescription. Buy the lenses from a retailer that requires a prescription and take care to follow the directions.
If you start having problems -- including redness, eye pain that doesn't go away after a short period of time and decreasing vision -- you may have an infection and should seek immediate medical help.
"Get sick on candy, but don't go blind," said Kondrot.

Later, when random members of the audience came on stage as part of the act, some were sporting the drooping pants Gallagher had just mocked. Before the show, Gallagher autographed a scalp (shown here) in the lobby.–Rey Barry

Kind of a disappointing end to the trade deadline. Casey McGehee was shipped to the Yankees for Chad Qualls. McGehee became redundant when Gaby Sanchez was acquired earlier in the day. Casey seemed like a good guy and I'm sorry to see him go. The more I think about this, I think the Pirates were going to cut McGehee and this way the Yankees pick up part of the tab. Qualls has been horrible with both the Phillies and Yanks this season. Anything they get from him is gravy.
