The Utah Mine Safety Commission continues to hear public comments in their meetings as well as presentations by professionals in the area of mining.
At the recent Price meeting a number of local people spoke before the commission. Jerry Carlson is the owner of Price Mine Service. His company trains miners for placement in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. They have five offices. They are the largest independent mine placement service. Carlson is a founding member of the Southeastern Utah Energy Producers Association. This organization brings coal mining, oil and gas, copper and other energy producers together to discuss the industry and problem solve.
This year their annual banquet will be on Nov. 8 and Rep. Jim Matheson will be the speaker. This organization took the initial steps toward what is now the Western Energy Training Center. They believed in career based training and helped in the recruitment process for Bob Topping, Steve Burge and Sam Quigley who now operate the center.
Carlson said the CEU-WETC merger has been a struggle and it's not finished yet. The legislature was unclear how to make the merger. Dr. Topping has worked to formulate some long term views for the center.
Carlson said his company works on compliance training in a three state area. As a company they train people themselves. They have safety specialists who travel a big area training miners. He said since the Crandall Canyon mine disaster there has been a decrease in the number of people wanting to get into coal mining. "Dr. Topping has a vision to rejuvenate interest in coal mining. The legislature has done a wonderful job. But, to create a world class facility, it needs money. The center has been awarded a couple of grants, but when you look out three-four years, compliance training is a small part of what's needed. We need industry involved and WETC involved. Zero accidents need to be a reality. Bret Harvey said, 'Our goal is not to improve, but to get down to zero.' WETC has the right vision and it includes the whole arena, gas and mining," said Carlson.
Scott Matheson, commission chairman, commended Carlson for being involved with the formation of WETC from the beginning. There is much concern for developing the next generation of miners and other energy producers.
Carlson mentioned the WETC sponsored group which took teachers on a tour of energy facilities to give them a better idea of the energy industry. "It was enlightening for them and these types of things will help. We have been a guarded industry. We haven't shown who and what we are. Mining is safe in comparison to other industries. Our recruitment has dropped by half since the Crandall disaster. The energy industry needs help. More time and money needs to be spent on training and innovation," said Carlson.
Carlson said his company trains miners and offers supervision at the mine site. The new miner will work with a crew for two-three months out-by before being hired by the company. The operators have found these miners are better trained. Carlson doesn't think just compliance training is enough.
The commission asked Carlson if language is a barrier in training and understanding. He said 30 percent of the miners across the west are Hispanic and the language and culture can be a barrier.
Carlson said the larger coal operators all have their own safety training and safety departments in-house. They have done things without help and now all of a sudden there is help and interest. WETC will be the driving force. Cost is a factor. "We have to fund this thing, it's not going to drive itself. Safety is important. WETC brings guys together. People want a career path. The workforce is already there; people in the industry now would like to get additional training," said Carlson.
Mayor Joe Piccolo wondered if there is enough collaboration between federal and state. Carlson said the state hasn't put any money into training but has renewed interest since the mine disaster.
John Palacios retired miner and consultant addressed the Utah Mine Safety Commission. He said safety is important. He believes the long wall sections are too long and need to be shortened. He thinks the bleeders should be reinforced. If bleeders need to be used as an escape route they are often filled with timbers and other supplies. Palacios was on the mine rescue team at the Wilberg fire. Palacios said all companies should get together for safety and research. More research is needed into knowing what to do when mining under 3,000 feet of cover. He also thinks face bosses need more training. "Face bosses should be brought up to date on mine plans each week. They need much better training. District managers from MSHA should be trained so they understand Western mines. Also hydrocarbons in the Bookcliff mine areas are dangerous; there needs to be research done to see what can be done," said Palacios.
Steve Burge, Carbon County commissioner said he is proud of the heritage of coal in the area. It takes incredible intelligence to make it possible for lights and electricity. He cautioned we not lose sight of those who have lost their lives and find a way to honor them. He told of the emergency response plans and how they fell into place with the disaster. He said it might be good for the commission to look at the first responders. What is the relationship with MSHA and how to deal with the media. He also said the language barriers need to be addressed and how to deal with families in emergency situations. Decisions are sometimes made on an hourly basis. Burge complimented the law enforcement in Emery County and how well they handled the mine disaster.
In November a group is coming to WETC which involves seven community colleges and industry. Burge envisions the creation of a standardized program for training which will transfer across state lines and create a one stop approach to training. Different states are funded differently for training.
Matheson wondered if WETC could play a role to strengthen mine rescue systems. Presenters answered yes, WETC can get into more in depth safety training for mine rescue teams. There is a certified safety program for Colorado which was created by a former Carbon County man. It was agreed it's wise to create safety professionals. There are incredible instructors at WETC and CEU and with support from the legislature these programs can be started. Matheson said the commission would like to hear recommendations and thoughts for getting these programs started and or expanded.
Colleen Byrge spoke to the mine commission, she said she has been around mining men for 60 years. Three of her grandchildren lost their dad in the Crandall Canyon mine disaster, he was Brandon Kimber one of the rescuers. Her husband, Chuck Byrge is on oxygen after spending 40 years underground, he was also a survivor in a potash accident. Two of her sons today work in the coal mines and she prays for their safety. She said Washington is mad now and things are going to get done for mine safety. She believes the governor put some good people on the mine commission. "With our experience and everything, we went through, I don't know what could have been done better. Mayor Hilary Gordon, with what she went through, she should be woman of the year. God had a reason he built the earth on coal. Research should be done on ways to make coal cleaner so we can use coal to meet our needs" said Byrge.
Matheson expressed the sorrow of the commission for their loss.
Don Shey spoke to the commission. He said miners are among the finest people he has known. His father was a UMWA attorney years ago. He said he has been disgusted with how things are handled at the federal level. He thinks they try to hide behind their regulations. He said he watched as the people affected by Hurricane Katrina didn't have food. He thinks the mine operators are well represented, but who is representing the miners? He said he doesn't know where they get the courage to go into the mines every day.
Pete Hackford and Debbie King work for the state labor commission. King does the mining certification in the Price Office. Hackford said he believes WETC is a good idea. For the past year Hackford said he has been involved in updating the certifications. They are dedicated to make Utah a safe place to work.
Matheson said other states go beyond the minimum requirements for training. Should Utah be one of those states and what implications would that have for the labor commission and their program. Hackford said they would need to restructure their exams. Utah has issues other states don't with its deep mining and methane hydrocarbons.
Sen. Dmitrich wondered about the testing after the training and the cost. Hackford said it is $50 for the initial test and the worker must pass all five sections, if they fail any section they must take it again.
Litvin wondered how the testing of Hispanic workers is done. King said she does the testing for the Price office and most of those taking the test knew English and didn't need an interpreter.
Matheson wondered how the development and strengthening of curriculum would take place if the state ends up requiring more training than the initial MSHA training. Hackford said he could see WETC and the labor commission interacting together to be on the same page for testing and education. Information is put together for a study guide. The labor commission would be glad to help out with testing at WETC.
Sen. Dmitrich wondered about a neutral body doing the testing. He said it would require legislation to add to the number of hours training required. Dmitrich said testing by a neutral body adds credibility.
The mine commission is putting together a technical advisory group to report to the commission at a later date on specific subjects. Future meetings will also include a report on the advances in mine technology and what is available for the tracking of miners.
Part VIII will appear in the Nov. 6 issue of the Emery County Progress.

RIP Maya Angelou. Two favorite quotes…
"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated."
"All great achievements require time."
And in honor of reading, thanks TTM for yesterday's Book Club info. Here it is for all who missed…
we just chose the next book, it is The Princess Bride and maybe 19 Minutes, next meet up is June 8. We also do a Sunday Night Social post for anyone who just wants to drink and talk shite. Absolutely everyone is welcome!ReplyCancel
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." ~ Maya AngelouReplyCancel
"When I think of death, and of late the idea has come with alarming frequency, I seem at peace with the idea that a day will dawn when I will no longer be among those living in this valley of strange humors.
I can accept the idea of my own demise, but I am unable to accept the death of anyone else.
I find it impossible to let a friend or relative go into that country of no return.
Disbelief becomes my close companion, and anger follows in its wake.
I answer the heroic question 'Death, where is thy sting? ' with ' it is here in my heart and mind and memories.'
– Maya Angelou
This is very sad. RIP. xReplyCancel
This hurts my heart this morning. Luckily, she will always be with us through her moving words.ReplyCancel
Her voice alone was enough to make me feel good. We were lucky to have her as long as we did.
God rest her soul.ReplyCancel
The world lost an amazing lady much too soon. Her wisdom and exuberance of love will be sorely missed. RIP MayaReplyCancel
Sad. But not a big fan. She was like the Enigma from Mystery Men (prose wise)ReplyCancel
Rest in peace. You were a remarkable woman.ReplyCancel
"Some people who exist on sparingly on the mean side of the hill are threatened by those who also live in the shadows but celebrate the light…It seems easier to lie prone than to press against the law of gravity and raise the body onto its feet and persist in remaining vertical."
Maya Angelou was an indescribable talent, passionate philanthropist and without question, a hero to me.
The literary world-the world at large for that matter-has been left with an irreplaceable loss. RIP ??ReplyCancel
^5 my favorite tooReplyCancel
Rather unknown here. Good time to read her.
I met her only once. She was incredibly gracious to a mother who was juggling a baby in arms and another one in a stroller (that mother would be me 🙂 ). She was an amazing and wise person who made a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to encounter her.ReplyCancel
@surfer, this is one of my favorite quotes of hers to live by. It always crosses my mind when certain situations arise.
RIP, beautiful Maya.
Oprah must be devastated. Maya was like her mom.ReplyCancel
Wow, Enty. What a tribute. A drug overdose gets more love.ReplyCancel
Couldn't stand her "poetry". It all seemed like the writings of a middle school student discovering a poetry jam fan he has a crush on. Writing random words and saying it's deep doesn;t make it deep.
RIP to her however, it's always sad when a person that did no wrong to anyone passes away.
We celebrate the lives of those who do nothing
Those who do are forgotten in time
Our heroes abandon us
Still memories remain
The killers are loose
Given licenses to kill
Making us fearful
All part of societies ills
Leaves fall from trees
In the Autumn of our lives
Our Summers behind us
And all hope dies
(See anyone can make something that seems deep but means nothing)ReplyCancel
A great lady has died. She will be missed by those who knew her and by many who only knew her work.
This would be a good time for some of you to remember what your mothers taught you, or should have taught you, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all (aka shut the fuck up).ReplyCancel
@Malibu was that geared towards me? All I said is that I wasn't a fan of her work but if you notice I did also say that it is always sad when someone who did no harm to anyone dies.
She shouldn't be defined by her work but of the content of her character which was above reproach.ReplyCancel
The Art of Living Well
Take great pleasure in small offerings.
Believe that the world owes you nothing.
Understand that every gift given to you is exactly that.
Realize that people who differ from you can be founts of fun.
Such simple words but worth rememberingReplyCancel

I suppose a company can not be PURELY open source software & hardware, otherwise making a profit would be very difficult, especially with the globalized economy. The Chinese will always make it faster, cheaper, and although not the best, good enough.Plenty of bootstrapped microcontroller modules are out in the market. Why did Arduino catch on so immensely? My guess: low cost, the choice of a common language (C), floating point math, analog-to-digital converters (missing in basic stamp) & other peripherals, a very good forum, and "open source". But the same can be said about leaflabs.com, so what is it about Arduino? How did they make it into Radio Shack stores?
Maple seems like an excellent alternative
I bought an Olimex Maple and it is no Arduino.

text: Monday, December 02, 2013 Therapy Cap Repeal in Sight, But More Grassroots Action Needed A full repeal of the Medicare therapy cap could become part of congressional discussions on the sustainable growth rate (SGR)—but your voice is needed now to ensure that the repeal remains a priority on Capitol Hill. APTA has been meeting with the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means Committees to urge members to include a full repeal of the Medicare therapy cap in the SGR reform package currently under discussion. With less than 30 days until the expiration of the therapy cap exceptions process, grassroots involvement is more important than ever. There are several easy ways to take action right away: E-mail your legislators. Use the Legislative Action Center or Patient Action Center to tell your members of Congress that the Medicare therapy cap must be addressed in order to ensure access to outpatient therapy services in 2014. Use the power of social media. Visit the Medicare therapy cap grassroots webpage to download the Stop the Therapy Cap logo, and change your profile pictures on Twitter and Facebook. Then tweet your legislators or share APTA's Stop the Therapy Cap messages to help promote awareness. Be sure to encourage your colleagues, patients, friends and family members to get involved too. Take action from your smart phone. Download the free APTA Action app (available at both Apple and Google Play app stores) to find your legislator's Facebook page and Twitter profile, and let your voice be heard. Legislators only have until December 31 to permanently repeal the cap or extend the exceptions process. Comments I work for a group of physical therapists. I often see the need for more therapy but a patient has used all the benefits available. As people age they often need PT on more then one occassion and it is not a "fixed" amount of treatment. We have seen patients who need PT on 3 parts of their bodies but are unable to get it due to the Medicare Cap. Please don't forget about the senior citizens who need care. You wouldn't expect a cast to come off an arm if it is still needed just because a time limit is used up. Posted by Sandra Pincombe on 12/4/2013 2:25 PM Please make physical therapy a non cap benefit. Many seniors are benefiting from the care of physical therapy to make their life better. Posted by Cynthia on 12/4/2013 5:32 PM I am a Practice Manager for a small outpatient physical therapy office. I see the benefits of Physical Therapy for seniors and those on disability on a daily basis. Many people have long term chronic conditions, and while we can't cure them, we can significantly improve their quality of life, and keep them at high level of daily living. Please lift the cap for 2014. Posted by Dave Dittmer on 12/6/2013 4:51 PM Please make physical therapy a non cap benefit. Many seniors are benefiting from the care of physical therapy to make their life better. Posted by Amy Adams on 12/9/2013 12:18 PM

Hey Guys, it's me again!
Seriously, am I the only German here? I couldn't find anyone making those characteristic mistakes such as overusing "-ing"-forms.
Anyway: A few feeks ago, we learnt there are three different Sage-Schools. We already know the Frog-Sage-Art taught in Myoubokuzan (Fancy Wood Hill), and we now know that there is something like a Snake-Sage-Art taught in Ryuchidou (Dragon Cave).
By the way: A few people seem to think that Snake/Dragon-Sage-Art involves using natural Energy. But actually, there isn't anything we know about this art except that it enhances your perception skills and that it changes your appearance. Though I must admit, it is pretty similar to Frog-Sage-Arts. Yet there seems to be one difference: Frog-Sage-Art enhances your range, we do not know whether that is the case in Snake-Sage-Art.
And there is a third Sage-Art taught in Shikkotsurin (Humid Bone Forest). I will stick out my neck and say there is a good chance it is related to slugs. I admit there is no evidence to support this, but seriously. Do you remember this animal-trio:
Since we already know that two of the three Sage-Arts are related to Frogs and Snakes, I would be quite surprised if the last Sage-Art wasn't related to Slugs.
I admit, my theory has a flaw: Jiraiya was a sage, and Orochimaru obviously would have liked to be one. Yet for obvious reasons, Manda wasn't quite willing to help Orochimaru (http://www.mangareader.net/93-175-4/...apter-170.html). And Tsunade? Katsuyu calls her Princess-Tsunade, so there seems to be a respectful relationship. So if there is a Slug-Sage-Art, Tsunade knows about it. Yet we can assume that now, against Edo Madara who is virtually unbeatable, she wouldn't hold back and refrain from using a jutsu that works best over a longer period of time. That's why I didn't open a "Tsunade a Sage?"-thread. I am pretty sure Tsunade isn't a sage.
Kishi, however, never does anything without a reason, so sooner or later we will learn more about Shikkotsurin. Naruto is a Frog Sage and was Jiraiya's pupil. Sasuke was Orochimaru's pupil and inherited - at least for a few years - his affinity for snakes. A few people already argue that Sasuke might become a Dragon-Sage. And Tsunade is Sakura's Sensei. I cannot think about anyone but Sakura that might become a Slug-Sage (sounds weird). So if I am right and there is something like a Slug-Sage-Art, Sakura seems to be the only choice for Kishi to present it to us.
I know it is a bit of a stretch, in my opinion Sakura has been a real disappointment. But it would at least fit the story: Sakura is supposed to have good chakra-control and to be intelligent. Both might help master the jutsu. But most importantly - and I am very sure nobody disagrees here - she really needs a power-boost. And she really could use a personal summon - if she hasn't already one we don't know about. People might argue that Shinobi/Kunoichi must have great personal chakra-reserves to become a sage, but actually we don't know much about Sakura's chakra. Tsunade at least seems to have a great one.
I admit, it may be wishful thinking, but wouldn't it be great: Three sages, all taught by the Three Legendary Sannin, fight the last villain - whoever that might be?
What do you think? Is it probable, or too far-fetched?

Pueblo County licenses 2 more pot shops
Two more retail marijuana shops have been approved in Pueblo County.
The Board of County Commissioners on Monday approved the retail licenses for Pueblo West Organics and Nature's Remedy, both located in Pueblo West.
The two new licenses bring the number of retail marijuana shops in the county to five, already half of the county's limit of 10 retail stores for 2014.
As with past retail marijuana license requests, the commissioners held a public hearing and there was no opposition to either application.
"This is big," said Commissioner Liane "Buffie" McFadyen. "Pueblo County is taking a great leap not only for the county and the state but the nation."
Randy Russell, owner of Pueblo West Organics, told the commissioners since opening his medicinal marijuana store in April, the business has developed a strong patient following which led him to pursue the retail operation.
Pueblo West Organics is located at 609 E. Enterprise Drive.
"We've had great feedback from our customers. With that, we want to move on and see if we can bring that business atmosphere to a retail store," he said.
In addition to the license for the retail store, the license also provides for two retail marijuana cultivation facilities and a medical marijuana optional premises cultivation for Russell's operation.
Russell said he plans to split the growing operation between the existing business building on Enterprise Drive and a second cultivation facility at 56 N. Precision Drive in Pueblo West.
David Jiminez, owner of Nature's Remedy, said he, too, plans to add a retail operation and cultivation facility to his existing medicinal marijuana business at 748 E. Industrial Blvd.
Jiminez said his goal is to create more of an upscale business that would cater to nontraditional headshop customers.
Jiminez said both the retail and medicinal business will operate in the same location, but there will be separate cash registers for each operation to ensure the proper sales taxes will be charged for the retail business.
Both retail shops are scheduled to open in January.

Skip to comments.Court: Baring Breasts In Public Not Free Speech
Posted on 10/31/2007 4:32:02 AM PDT by TornadoAlley3
Sorry, rule is link only.
Booo. ;-)
Rule is also picture must accompany posting.
Geez, anyone who ever visited a strip club could have told you that.
Damn, I am so relieved.
I don't know. I think it says a LOT.
I suppose officer Keilman is the titular head of the Bowling Green decency league.
Yeah, you have to give tips.
I will if you will.
From the article - about halfway down the page.
In Texas, an associate writes as follows:
Texas state law does not criminalize female breasts uncovered in public. Various Texas cities have ordinances prohibiting the public display of bare female breasts, but in the instances where those local measures have been specifically challenged, they have been struck down.
In the early 1970s, an enlightened Austin city council removed from its ordinances any mention of female breasts that are bared in public. The justification was gender equality. It wasn't that they specifically allowed it; rather, they stopped specifically disallowing it. The distinction is significant.
In Austin today, women can be topfree in public legally, but few choose to do so. An uninformed public and uninformed public servants often make the experience an unpleasant one for women who are bare chested in public.
Well! This just ruined my day. Thanks for nothing.
I don't see how this cannot be free speech if Hustler is free speech, and topless bars are free speech. Also, why stop at the breasts?
I'm sorry, but I don't get how going topless is a free speech issue. I am an attorney, but apparently a naive one (certainly not a constitutional scholar or practitioner). My concept of "speech" is the conveying of an idea or concept through some sort of medium. Obviously, verbal (spoken or written words) communication is speech, but merely yelling unintelligible sounds is not, because nothing is being conveyed. What does going topless convey? That one has breasts? Or that one is attractive, or (see Helen Thomas photo above) is aging and repulsive?
I occasionally ask young people who are multi-pierced, tattooed, or "uniquely" dressed, why they present themselves as they do. The most common response (ignoring the f*&^ you and "because I want to" responses) is "I am expressing myself." Fair enough, but what is it that is being expressed? Maybe I am just getting old (50 on Saturday), but I don't get it. I guess that is just one more thing I don't get...
Yep, I'm a lawyer too. Basically, they've clothed what would be illegal conduct in the mantle of speech, and that apparently gives it a protected status, per our Supreme Court. Logically, if you kill someone and publish photos of the crime in a magazine, it's protected free speech.
It is sign language (or speech).
This thread is of no value without pictures.
Interesting description of one of the most liberal cities in Texas. No bias here.
women bearing their breasts in public isn't free speech????
even if they say "Boingie boingie boingie"????
I'm deeply saddened. (snif!)
I understand that if you twist the knobs just right, you can find Kenneth's frequency!
Sometimes you lawyers crack me up. You have missed the salient point in this discussion. It is very clear that if they are attractive breasts it is no problem. Unfortunately it is usually females who possess very unattractive breasts who choose to bare them in public. That would then come under ordnances relating to public nuisance or camera abuse as the situation may be. This also should be considered with ordinances relating to spandex abuse at Wal-Mart.:-)
"Also, why stop at the breasts?"
As we saw last week in the NYPost, it must be legal for a person to walk naked thru the streets of NYC.
Nudity per se isn't an issue, and quite frankly, I don't think that most people object to nudity once they get used to the experience.
The problem is when lewd behavior starts, and when lewd displays and behaviors are cover by "Free Speech" provisions. Nudity per se isn't lewd, but one can be lewd w/o exposing anything illegal.
I agree with you. Have you ever wondered why all of these people who want to be unique look so much alike?
OMG if you look this disgusting why would you WANT to bare them? GOOD GRIEF!
its always the ugly ones...
Hmmm ... I guess the coors people came up with that blue mountain idea after rejecting the first concept. Twin peaks inspiration!
I have a feeling that any woman who's going to get pinched by the cops for whipping 'em out in public ain't the type of woman you want to see topless in the first place. The hot ones get a pass; the pigs get tossed in the pokey.
The Austin Silly Council is hellbent on destroying any personal choice for its citizens. They are getting serious about having a rail system that takes up existing roads so people are forced to ride that instead of driving to and from work.
I live in the one remaining, mostly Conservative area, of Travis county. I'm glad I only have a couple of years before I retire and don't have to venture into this hellhole, except on rare occasions.
If it IS free speech, then I can think of a couple of women I'd like to hear shouting.
Happy birthday
JERRY: (Looking toward beach) Oh this is interesting.
ELAINE: What?
JERRY: Jane's topless. (They all look)
KRAMER: Yo yo ma.
JERRY: Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
ELAINE: Nice rack. (Carol and Michael inside open back door)
CAROL: Come on, you guys. You can come and see the bay-bee!
JERRY: Oh, in a minute, Carol.
KRAMER: We're gonna be right there.
JERRY: This is weird wild stuff. George hasn't even seen her yet.
ELAINE: Why do you think we're getting the sneak preview?
KRAMER: Maybe she's trying to create a buzz.
ELAINE: What?
KRAMER: You know, get some good word of mouth goin'.
JERRY: Oh, here she comes. (They pretend to not have watched as Jane enters)
JANE: I'm thirsty. Anyone want a drink?
(Jerry, Elaine and Kramer are shocked)
JERRY: No thanks.
ELAINE: I'm good.
KRAMER: Deh-deh-deh-deh- (Jane exits) All right, show's over. I'm goin' to the beach.
hey we got rules around here...and rules is rules!
Yes. Sign Language is speech.
Rhetorical Critics will tell you that anything is "speech" if the purpose is to convey a message. That includes things like architecture, art, clothing, or no clothing. Certainly women who go topless are attempting to convey a message. Trying to figure out what that message is can be problematic. The next question is "is this protected speech". My take is that the Founders were protecting political speech. So unless these women are running for office on a platform of [insert joke here] it's not constitutionally protected speech. IMHO
No, its not free speech.
Its is however a nice surprise once in a while to us guys.....(chuckle)
Once saw a very pretty, and busty red head do this for the benefit of a work gang heading back inside the justice center in downtown Cincinnati. Every driver sitting at that red light honked and waved, and asked her to do it again.
She didn't, but sure did have a happy smile from all the attention.
Bare breasts get New York woman $29,000 -
June 18, 2007
... settlement also marked the second time the change in state law has cost the city. ...
"A New York appeals court ruled in 1992 that women should be legally allowed to bare their chests just as men are."
That reminds me of an incident that happened on our jogging trail at the facility I work at before 9/11. Our camp used to be open 24/7 to local civilians who wanted to use the trail. The women liked the added security of running on a lit trail any time of the day and have the camp security guards as visible deterrents to any possible assaults.
One weekend, a woman decide to jog on the trail topless. One of the guards saw her and politely told her to replace her top. The woman said, "If men can run topless, so can I". So the guard called HER supervisor on the radio. By the time he got there, the woman had already put her top back on. He later quipped, "The one day we have a topless female jogger, and Kathy was the only one to see her topless".
Good, now use the same ruling to ban low-riding pants.
Remember the Supreme Court case a few years ago involving a nudie bar in Indiana? Majority opinion said something along the line of "50,000 nude folks in the Hoosier Dome may be sending a message but it's not protected by the US Constitution."
You posted, in part: Certainly women who go topless are attempting to convey a message. Trying to figure out what that message is can be problematic.
That is where I don't get it. Speech means communication, doesn't it? If the message can't be discerned, how is that speech? This is the same problem I have with flag burning as speech. What does burning the American flag mean? "I hate America?... I hate the current administration?... I hate Congress?... I hate the American way of life?... etc., etc." If the expression is devoid of any real meaning discernable to the average "listener" how is that speech in any real way?
As for seeing women topless, I find it hard (no pun intended) to object, as long is the woman is not my wife or daughter. If the woman is unattractive one can look away. As the comedian Ron White says: Once you seen one woman's [breasts] you pretty much want to see them all.
Thanks for that... you are the first, although early.
I wasn't sure if you meant this coming Saturday or last Saturday. And early is better than not at all! :)
...as long is the woman is not one's wife or daughter, or Ann Coulter.
In a recent FR thread about Ann showing another side of herself, I mentioned that I'd like to see her backside. Admin/mod/Sunday-school-teacher seems to have deleted my words.

St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 11:17-31
Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 103.4,1
Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire
Verse: Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God you are very great.
BRETHREN, by faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son, of whom it was said, "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named." He considered that God was able to raise men even from the dead; hence, figuratively speaking, he did not receive him back. By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff. By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful; and they were not afraid of the king's edict. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of the Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He considered abuse suffered for the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the first-born might not touch them. By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as if on dry land; but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given friendly welcome to the spies.

United Nations Environment Programme opens China Office - 19 sep 2003
Speaking at the opening ceremony, UNEP Executive Director Klaus Toepfer said it was a response to the important progress being made in meeting environmental challenges in China, the worlds largest developing country, and to the challenges lying ahead.
With 1.3 billion people and an official goal to quadruple economic growth by 2020, Chinas environmental performance will not only determine the well being of its own people but will have consequences for the whole planet, Mr. Toepfer said.
He said China had a historic opportunity to leapfrog traditional polluting technologies and to adopt sustainable production and consumption policies.
The new office will work closely with the State Environmental Protection Administration of China (SEPA) and other ministries, international agencies and non-governmental organizations in implementing programmes in environmental assessment, law, education and training, management, technology transfer and innovation and natural disaster prevention.
It will also develop and support projects under the Global Environment Facility, an international fund to address climate change, biodiversity, land degradation, transboundary water and chemical management issues.
Chinas Vice Minister of Environment Zhu Guangyao attended the official opening of the office, which will be co-located with other UN agencies in Beijing.
The new China office reflects recent decisions taken by UNEPs Governing Council to strengthen UNEPs delivery of regional-level programmes.
Earlier in the day Mr Toepfer and Environment Minister Xie Zhenhua chaired the first Asia-Pacific Sub-Regional Environmental Policy Dialogue, a roundtable meeting attended by ministers and eminent persons in the environment field and designed to provide UNEP with feedback on critical emerging issues and perspectives in the region.
At the meeting Mr Zhenhua said he welcomed UNEPs new national presence and its strategy for sub-regional engagement with the countries of Asia and the Pacific.
We as Ministers need to provide political support to strengthen UNEPs programme especially regional and sub-regional programme delivery. A strengthened UNEP also supports national environment agencies, Mr. Xie Zhenhua said.
Earlier this week UNEP also facilitated a workshop to support the development of the Institute for Environment and Sustainable Development at Shanghais Tongji University.
The workshop explored the potential for new multi-disciplinary and applied sustainability courses at the Institute and involved educators from leading universities in Australia, Singapore, USA and Thailand.
During Chinas celebration of the International Day for the Protection of the Ozone Layer on16 September, UNEP announced that China is one of the recipients of the UNEP National Ozone Unit award in recognition of its efforts to meet compliance with the Montreal protocol. UNEP, together with SEPA, also organized a high level meeting on phasing out methyl bromide.

Tokyo BarCamp 2010: Photos

Here are my images from Tokyo BarCamp 2010 on Saturday. It was a long day — 18 hours door to door. But that's BarCamp. And it was frustrating to miss so many great sessions since there was so much going on simultaneously. But that, too, is BarCamp. Aside from that, though, it was a really great day getting together with the international community in Tokyo.
This is the third BarCamp here in Japan in the last year where OpenSolaris community members have contributed in a significant way — either by presenting, organizing, or sponsoring. People from dozens of communities participated all day in sessions on software development, networking, security, content, hacking, science, ecology, politics, community building, activism, language learning tools, etc. Great to see so many guys from the Linux community participating again as well. Hope the images came out ok.I have thousands more general community images here. More BarCamp Japan stuff here: Fumi Yamazaki, Rick Martin, Johan Rooms, Yoshifumi Yamaguchi, BarCamp Tokyo tag on Flickr (tbarcamp).
Duke Goes to Tokyo BarCamp
May 28, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Shoji, Matthew, and I took Duke to Aoyama tonight to get ready for the BarCamp conference tomorrow. I guess Duke does not ride the Tokyo trains very much because we got some interesting looks. And some people took photos with their cell phones. Then we met up with the core organizing team for BarCamp to get things set for tomorrow.

Manage BVDV risk factors to prevent persistently infected animals from damaging your herd
by Chelsey Johnson, Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Intern
You may have heard Kelly Clarkson sing, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." However, Julia Ridpath, of the National Animal Disease Center/ARS/USDA staff, reminded dairy producers that in the case of animals exposed to BVD virus, this saying does not apply. Ridpath explained how to optimize management of BVDV risk factors at the first annual Vita Plus Calf Summit on June 20 in Green Bay, Wis.
One challenge with managing BVDV risk factors in a herd is preventing persistently infected (PI) animals from entering the herd. PI animals silently do damage to a herd, as Ridpath explained, "You can't walk out into a lot, sniff the air and say, wow, BVD.'"
PI animals are infected in utero and are often born from an uninfected dam. PI animals continually shed the virus into the environment without showing signs of infection. Therefore, herd mates are constantly trying to fight infection. As a result of this immune response, herd mates do not have as much energy to go toward milk production, growth or fighting other diseases. So in the case of a cow exposed to a PI animal, the exposure may not kill her but it certainly isn't going to make her stronger.
In order to prevent a PI animal from entering your herd, be sure to develop a BVDV-control program consisting of the following three components.
Use surveillance
Every PI animal must be identified and removed. A 90 percent detection accuracy that works with other diseases will not cut it with BVDV. Therefore, BVDV testing requires a high standard for accuracy. Talk to your veterinarian about BVDV testing options. The sooner a PI animal can be eliminated from a herd, the better.
Build a biosecurity system
The risk of BVDV is lowest when a herd is truly closed. This isn't possible in many cases, especially since wildlife can expose cows to BVDV. Instead, producers should have a biosecurity plan in place. For example, all purchased animals should be kept separate until they are confirmed BVDV-free, and calves that are born from purchased bred animals should not be exposed to the rest of the herd until the calf is confirmed BVDV-free.
Raise herd resistance by vaccination
Vaccination cannot prevent all BVDV infections but it has been shown to be effective in reducing the number of infections. Both modified-live virus (MLV) and killed vaccines are available for control of BVDV infections. Killed vaccines are more stable and safe, but the duration and breadth of immunity may be less with killed vaccines. Choose a vaccination system that best fits your herd. Keep in mind, however, that vaccination cannot compensate for poor surveillance or biosecurity.

Document Actions
St. Paul's Second Letter to Timothy 2:1-10
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
TIMOTHY, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier on service gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to satisfy the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hardworking farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will grant you understanding in everything.
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David, as preached in my gospel, the gospel for which I am suffering and wearing fetters like a criminal. But the word of God is not fettered. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus with its eternal glory.

Do you sometimes feel like you can't cope with all the issues in your life? Do you typically feel low when things don't seem to be going your way? If so, it doesn't have to be this way! You can break through those negative feelings and thoughts.
Try these tips to strengthen your emotional wellness and bring more peace to your life:
- Know the signs of depression. You don't need to be worried about your mental health to do some research and be able to recognize the signs of possible depression. In all likelihood, you're simply battling some low points. If your symptoms do point toward depression, take action to seek help. Some things to consider:
- What do statistics say about people with depression?
- What are the major factors contributing to depression?
- Do you have traits that make you prone to anxiety or depression?
- How can you tell if you're spiraling downward?
- Spend a lot of quality time with family members and friends doing things you all enjoy.
- Instead of internalizing unpleasant feelings or thoughts, talk with your support network about them.
- Talk to people around you who have been able to turn negative occurrences into positive learning experiences.
- Connect with your spiritual side and find your strengths.
- Spend some time each day meditating and re-centering. This will help you create mental stability and resilience.
- Get involved with a charitable organization and focus your energies on giving hope and help to the less fortunate.
- Take up a sport or hobby that engages you both mentally and physically. The sense of achievement as you learn and perfect the activity will help you to develop mental wellness.
With the myriad of concerns that can present themselves in our fast-paced lives, mental and emotional balance isn't always easy to achieve. However, with positive effort and focus, you can cultivate resilience.
The steps above are just a beginning. As you go forth on your journey toward happiness and wholeness, you'll find even more techniques that work for you. Embrace your challenges as opportunities to grow, and you'll be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams.

Particle physics -- especially the research being done at CERN's Large Hadron Collider -- seems to have captured Hollywood's imagination these days. First, the collider was featured in director Ron Howard's Angels and Demons. And on Thursday, sci-fi novelist Robert J. Sawyer's novel Flash Forward makes its network debut on ABC. The novel starts out at CERN's LHC, and many of the central characters are physicists and engineers.
The network hasn't let many details slip about how closely the TV series will follow the novel, but the premise is the same: everyone on the planet "blacks out" for precisely 2 minutes and 17 seconds, and during that time their consciousness is "punted" six months into the future, giving them a brief glimpse of their lives at that point in time. And Sawyer served as a technical consultant for the series: "They needed a science consultant for the show, so that tells you something about what's going to happen."
He also gave high praise to executive producer David Goyer: an interview with io9 at WorldCon earlier this year: "I've been very impressed by how well-informed David is about science and how important it is to him."
The physics community has certainly taken note of the pending series premiere. In fact, the blog Symmetry Breaking is running several posts this week about the science of Flash Forward -- with plans to post the reactions of particle physicists after they watch the pilot episode. (No pressure, ABC!) The first "science of" post is here; the second is an interview with Sawyer himself; and interested readers should tune in Thursday and Friday as well for more about the fascinating physics behind the entertainment.

Q: Why would we require $300,000 of liability insurance when a tenant dog brought onto our rental property?
A: Because according to the latest statistics compiled by the nonprofit Insurance Information Institute in New York, insurance companies paid an average of $29,752 for each dog-bite claim in 2012.
Now that would buy a LOT of kibble. . . or dog treats

Nice, I'll see if I can make a new map. (feeling so nostalgia just as I started for DTWID) :P :P
One better advantage than the previous one is that it has already a website from the start.
Edit: I just remembered a very old wad which failed to enter TNT2, that features a small Doom II map. And I think with some work it could be a fitting map. Will upload after 10-20 minutes.
The link: http://www.mediafire.com/?bxgq3ez8oem2u4u
This map isn't touched yet to fit the project, it is harder than what MAP01 suggests. But this is the skeletal build of the map. With some improvements it will be a good map. Waiting for your feedback.
This map will be in E1, American's style.

Played through your map - just awesome... so simply Doom 1 but in Doom2, hard to describe, also visually nearly identical to what Doom burned into my mind - A+.
Entry for...
Map30 (by Alfonzo) - visually and idea wise great so far.
Map24 (by Essel) - great impression of a later on Doom2 map.
Design seems spot on, enjoyed my moving forward and fighting - can't say more because haven't played through it yet.
