Industry giant says 'extended outage' could be measured in years
WASHINGTON – Lloyd's of London, the world's specialist insurance company providing services to companies in more than 200 countries, has issued a dire warning of the potential consequences of an electromagnetic pulse event from a solar storm, according to report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
Lloyd's study, titled "Solar Storm Risk to the North American Electric Grid," centered on the highly populated region from New York City to Washington, D.C., but added that other high-risk regions are in the Midwest and in regions along the Gulf Coast.
The fact a major insurance company is looking at the economic consequences of an EMP from a direct solar storm suggests there is increasing concern in the insurance industry that companies may be facing the danger of severe economic losses.
As a major trend setter in the insurance world, Lloyd's unusual warning about the effects from an EMP could have an impact on insurance company coverage.
"A severe space weather event that causes major disruption to the electric network in the U.S. could have major implications for the insurance industry," the Lloyd's study said. "If businesses, public services and households are without power for sustained periods of time, insurers may be exposed to business interruption and other claims."
Sources suggest insurance companies could begin requiring companies they insure make sufficient efforts to harden their electronics to protect their companies, especially since companies now can collect insurance for work stoppage due to electrical outages.
"A severe space weather event that causes major disruption to the electricity network in North America could have major implications for the insurance industry," the study said. "The total U.S. population at risk of an extended outage from a Carrington-level storm ranges between 20-40 million with durations up to 1-2 years."
Some experts suggest an EMP with this catastrophic effect on major U.S. urban centers could, in effect, wipe out city populations because of their dependency on those critical infrastructures that rely on electricity, electronics and automated control systems to exist.
Sources say that it is curious that a British insurance company would center on the effects of an EMP on U.S. cities rather than in Britain, which has decided to undertake efforts to harden its national electrical grid system. They add, if the United States doesn't take action, the effects will have profound effects on the world economy.
Saying that the corridor between Washington, D.C., and New York City is at serious risk, the impact on a society that is increasingly dependent on electricity is "likely to be severe and wide-ranging," the report said.
The 1859 Carrington event is regarded as the most severe solar storm recorded in U.S. history. It occurred 154 years ago. The Lloyd's study warned, however, that such "very extreme storms" occur every 150 years.

Marisol '19 (left) and Crystal Baltazar '21 (right) both recommended their cousin Miguel Andrede-Salcedo '22 apply for the SUCCESS Trio program, which will help him succeed at Pacific.
Incoming freshman setting high marks for success
Miguel Andrade-Salcedo '22 had already set high standards for himself even before stepping onto campus for his first semester at Pacific.
For Andrade-Salcedo, thriving meant maintaining a 4.25 GPA while also running track and cross country all four years at Lathrop High School. He had been a runner in grade school and being able to run was motivation for maintaining good grades.
"It was really worth it," said Andrade-Salcedo of his hard work in the classroom and on the track or trail. "All the work paid off. ... I believe time management was key. I think the motivation was to have good grades and run, but also have time for a social life. ... I don't like leaving things unfinished."
Andrade-Salcedo has already found his purpose. He is majoring in psychology at Pacific and plans to pursue a master's degree before becoming a teacher.
"I look forward to that because I want to help others the way my teachers have helped me at times when I struggled," he said "I can be an influencer, a motivator. I can be someone students can look up to when they need help."
|Miguel Andrade-Salcedo '22 will major in psychology and seek a master's degree before going into teaching.
He picked Pacific because of its proximity to his home in Lathrop and the resources available to him through the SUCCESS–TRiO program, one of a family of federal programs to help low-income and disabled Americans overcome barriers to attaining a higher education.
"I've been thinking of Pacific since middle school," said Andrade-Salcedo, whose seventh-grade teacher, Martha Salcedo '96, is a Pacific alumna. The two are not related. "She'd tell me about this school and tell me about the resources. She gave me all sorts of information."
He believes being part of SUCCESS-TRiO will provide what he needs for maintaining his grades, including financial aid, new experiences and relationships.
"It means a lot as a freshman student, because I'm always seeking new experiences," Andrade-Salcedo said of SUCCESS-TRiO.
As a freshman, Andrade-Salcedo has a couple of other SUCCESS-TRiO resources most won't have — cousins Marisol '19 and Crystal Baltazar '21, who are also in the program. The three grew up together in Oakland before their families moved to Lathrop when they were young, so they know each other well. The Baltazar sisters recommended that Andrade-Salcedo apply for the federal program because of their own experiences.
"I recommended it to Miguel because SUCCESS has helped me thrive academically and personally," said Marisol Baltazar, majoring in business management and human resources with a minor in psychology. "I also like the fact that they offer us a space to study, eat and hang out in between classes. ... I simply believe that SUCCESS is an amazing program for first-generation students and Miguel would miss out if he did not join."
Crystal Baltazar concurred.
"SUCCESS is a great program because it offers valuable resources such as the computer lab, informative activities, scholarship opportunities, tutoring, student mentors and more," said the studio art and graphic design major who plans to become an art professor. "I know that going through college would be difficult without SUCCESS, because they offer valuable information that I only receive in this program."
It has always been about more than just earning good grades and running for Andrade-Salcedo. He has always wanted to remain well rounded, and for the past several years he has been part of Lathrop High School's Go Green Club. The club strives to increase knowledge about recycling and divert as many recyclables as possible from the school's trash.
He also finds motivation in his family-parents Miguel and Maria, and younger sisters, Paulina, 11, and Stephanie, 13.
"I feel proud to be at Pacific, because no one in my family has gone to college before," Andrade-Salcedo said. "I feel that it's challenging and satisfying to be here. ... It's quite exciting and I don't want to let my parents down."

League of Women Voters: Barriers to voting must be brought down
On Nov. 8, citizens went to the polls to select those who will represent us, from local office holders to those on the national stage. The League of Women Voters congratulates the American people for turning out to participate in our democracy.
But in many states, voters had to overcome significant barriers erected by state officials. Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters United States, writes, "This is the first presidential election in 50 years without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act. Since the Supreme Court rolled back key provisions of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, elected officials have purged existing voters from the rolls, made cuts to early voting, reduced polling places, put in place strict voter photo ID laws and levied onerous voter registration restrictions."
On Election Day, there were 868 fewer polling places in states with a long history of voting discrimination like Arizona, Texas and North Carolina. These changes impacted hundreds of thousands of voters. All told, 13 states enacted new restrictive voting regulations for the 2016 general election. "We are not talking about vigilante voter intimidation," said Carson. "We are talking about official, legal voter suppression by state legislatures and election officials."
Examples of the voter suppression are highlighted in an article by Ari Berman published in The Nation. One example Berman points to is Wisconsin, where changes to the election law disadvantaged 300,000 registered voters who, according to a federal court, lacked newly required strict forms of voter ID.
In his article, Berman cites a study done by Daniel Nichanian of the University of Chicago, "Voter turnout in Wisconsin was at its lowest levels in 20 years and decreased 13 percent in Milwaukee, where 70 percent of the state's African-American population lives." While the number of Wisconsin voters who lacked the stricter forms of voter ID needed to cast their ballot may not have changed the outcome of the election, as duly registered voters their disenfranchisement is unacceptable.
"We recognize the importance of a peaceful transfer of power as a hallmark of a functioning democracy, and we recognize that we have one of the best election systems and democracies in the world, but we also need to say it out loud: This election was rigged. And it needs to stop," Carson continued. "It is clear that this kind of voter suppression could impact the outcome of elections. We may never know whether the efforts to block voter participation changed the outcome in any particular race, but we must be on guard for the future."
While Illinois' current election laws are voter friendly, legislation is introduced every year in the General Assembly that potentially affects access to voting. Some bills propose positive changes such as online registration; others would restrict voter access.
In 2012 legislation was introduced that would have reduced the hours the polls would be open. The League submitted a letter to the Illinois Senate Executive committee objecting to the proposed legislation. The Senate Executive Committee gutted the bill and it was not revived. This year, a measure passed with bipartisan support that would have allowed automatic voter registration. The League supported the bill to help make registration more accessible to qualified voters. Unfortunately, Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed the bill.
We believe all Americans deserve to voice their opinions through the ballot box. The League continues to monitor and act on voter registration and election law. We support efforts that ease citizens' access to the election process and oppose any actions that erect barriers to voting. Our goal is to ensure that all citizens vote and that all votes count.
To learn more about voting rights and legislation, you may access information on lwvil.org under Issues- Representative Government- State Election Law.
The League is a nonpartisan organization that works to promote good government. Membership in the League is open to men and women age 18 and older. For further information about League membership, programs and news, visit lwvgr.org and like us on Facebook.

First Human Trafficking Risk Index that Provides Visibility into a Company's Family Tree and Corporate Linkages Helps Prevent Key Procurement and Related Reputational Risks
In a hyper-connected global economy, where businesses and consumers increasingly make decisions based upon brand reputation and responsible corporate practices, companies large and small need increased visibility into the multiple layers of their supply chain to mitigate hazards, achieve compliance, and enable the ethical procurement of goods and services. Today, Dun & Bradstreet (NYSE: DNB), makes available the Human Trafficking Risk (HTR) index, a solution designed to help companies better manage their global supply chains by providing a clear view into a company's family tree and corporate linkages, helping to gain transparency into the multiple layers of vendors used throughout the procurement process.
Companies may unknowingly be using forced labor in their procurement of commodities since, to date, a view into the full chain of vendors and suppliers has been difficult to attain.Dun & Bradstreet's HTR index uses proprietary data from its global database of 250 million business records, along with public data from the U.S. Department of State1 and the U.S. Department of Labor2, to analyze conditions surrounding areas where goods are produced and assign a score to that region and commodity. Dun & Bradstreet creates an index of those scores to assess a company's risk of being associated with goods and services potentially tied to human trafficking. By leveraging Dun & Bradstreet's global capabilities to link companies and its various entities, the HTR index can help companies ensure the responsible procurement of goods and services and meet compliance regulations as they extend their supply chain across the globe.
The International Labour Organization estimates there are over 19 million victims of exploitive forced labor worldwide. The most common form of human trafficking is forced labor in domestic work, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing.
Recent domestic and global regulations – including the US Federal Acquisition Regulations guidelines around Human Trafficking (2015); Modern Slavery Act (United Kingdom, 2015); and Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 (2016) – have instilled mandatory audits and reporting of supply chains including fines and in some instances, barring of goods from entering certain countries, in a global attempt to eradicate human trafficking.
The HTR index is the first solution to market within Dun & Bradstreet's emergent Responsible Business Analytics suite, a D&B Supply offering, designed to help global business customers comply with increasing regulations and meet corporate social initiatives.Dun & Bradstreet's company linkage capabilities through the D-U-N-S® Number allows a single, integrated view of companies and the relationships between them.

In addition to facial rejuvenation, most HA fillers stimulate natural collagen growth and build facial foundation.
Fillers like Restylane Lyft naturally occuring acid in our bodies known as hyaluronic acid.
Choosing the best filler for you depends on a variety of factors.
Patients will generally opt for HA fillers like Restylane Lyft for if they're getting cheek filler for the first time or unsure if they will like the results. Fillers like Restylane Lyft are designed to be reversible should you dislike your results or have a change of heart.
Fillers like Radiesse are great for facial sculpting targeting areas like the cheeks, chin, and jawline. As a calcium based filler, Radiesse does a beautiful job at achieving a contoured, model-esque look. Calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel make-up Radiesse. Similar to hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane, it can effectively rejuvenate lost volume in the face.
Voluma for cheek augmentation is a great choice in instances when longevity is important to a patient. Part of the Juvederm Collection, Voluma uses an advanced technology known as Vycross to lift and replace lost volume in the mid-face and cheek area.
Vycross technology is responsible for Voluma's unprecedented longevity. As a filler that can last up to two year, Voluma is a great option for cheek filler.
HA fillers like Restylane Lyft are reversible with an injectable enzyme called Hyaluronidase.
As soon as hyaluronidase is injected, it begins to break down the filler. There are instances when multiple treatments are necessary to fully dissolve the filler.This is a great option for anyone that is new to filler or is unsure if they would like their results from a hyaluronic acid filler.
Unlike HA fillers, Radiesse and Sculptra cannot be dissolved. If patients decide that they are unhappy with their results or simply no longer want the filler, they will have to wait for it to dissolve over time.
The longevity of fillers varies across the board.
Happy Friday Beauties! On this week's Five Minute Friday, I'm debunking everything you've been told about fillers. Being in this industry for nearly twenty years, I'm frequently asked through DMs, emails, and friends for filler recommendations and which ones are appropriate for specific areas of the face. Not only is every filler manufactured differently, but many of them are also made to target specific areas. The facial anatomy and skin elasticity vary from patient to patient, making it absolutely necessary to seek out an injector that is capable of guiding you in the right direction. As a facial plastic surgeon, I have had countless patients come in for hyaluronidase injections — the injectable used to dissolve HA fillers — because of work they received from an inexperienced injector. This episode is a great way to learn about the options available when it comes to beauty maintenance! Have a topic you want to be covered on the podcast? Send me a DM or email email@example.com!

Feb 7th - 13th, 2022
Studying game design rekindled my love for Magic: The Gathering, so I jumped into my local game store's prerelease for Kamigawa: Neon Dawn.
What are the odds that my first opponent would be a game designer who works on Legends of Runeterra? Literally one week after picturing myself working on the game, I am playing against someone who's doing that today.
After I promptly got destroyed, I asked what value they got out of their Master's in Game Design. They told me it was the simple fact that they were designing on projects alongside a team, AKA "doing the thing."™ It gave him practical experience that looked great on a portfolio and ultimately led to their job at Riot. He emphasized that if I wanted to become a game designer, I should try to get this type of experience as much as possible.
I need to remember this advice when I get back into a more design-focused mindset. Even if this leg of the journey is more engineering-focused, I hope to squeeze in game design practice at the occasional game jam.
Maybe it'll help me craft better decks at the next prerelease I go to. 🍩

United States v. Gary
Brief of National Association Of Criminal Defense Lawyers as Amicus Curiae in Support Of Respondent.
Argument: Depriving the defendant of the right to decide whether to plead guilty unconstitutionally undermines his autonomy interest. The decision to plead guilty is entrusted to the defendant alone and thus implicates his fundamental autonomy interest. The requirement that a guilty plea be knowing and voluntary safeguards the defendant's autonomy interest. The failure to inform the defendant of each element of the offense to which he is pleading guilty requires vacatur of the plea. Permitting the court to impose punishment based on hypothetical guilty pleas would be a dangerous constitutional innovation. Given that the Framers' vision of a system of jury trials has already been displaced by pleas, the Court should not accept anything less than informed and voluntary pleas.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA has approved the use of a condom named 'ONE Male Condom' during anal intercourse. The decision was taken to reduce sexually transmitted infections. This is the first time the agency has approved a condom specifically for use during anal sex. The condom has already been available for vaginal sex.
One condoms manufactured by Global Protection Corporation has been tested effective in a clinical trial in 2019. As per the study, condom failure was found a 0.68% for anal intercourse and 1.89% failure rate for vaginal intercourse. The gap in effectiveness may have been because of differences in lubricant use. Lubricant was used for 98% of anal sex during the study, while it was only used for about 42% of vaginal sex acts. A study also found that roughly 70% of men who have sex with men would be more likely to use condoms marked as safe for anal sex.

Craigslist is a well-known online classified advertising platform for users to post their advertisements. The company, founded in 1995, is a household name in the USA.
It is also relevant to Canada. Apart from these countries, the platform also operates in over 80 other countries, which include Australia, Germany, India, Brazil, Japan, etc. While the platform is available in all these countries, the main source of its popularity and income are the USA and Canada.
Craigslist, founded in 1995, started as an email list by its founder Craig Newmark. In 1996, it became an online classified platform for everyone to use.
Ever since then, the company has climbed its way up, becoming one of the most, if not the most, famous and well-known online platforms for users to post classified advertisements. One of the main reasons for the success and popularity of the platform is its user-friendliness and ease of use.
Despite its over 20 years of business, the company is still not as large as other companies of the same level. It is mainly because the company does not focus on profits and revenue generation.
However, that does not mean the company does not generate any revenue or is not profitable. Similarly, the company only has 50 working employees. That is because the company believes in keeping things simple and straightforward.
Even though the company does not mention what the vision, mission, objective, etc. are, there are some shreds of evidence that can help clarify them. These are available below.
Vision is a thought for the future of a company. The vision of a company usually gets defined when the company is started or even before that. The vision behind Craigslist is not very clear.
In a podcast, 'Everything is Miscellaneous', backed in 2007, the founder of Craigslist, Craig Newmark, mentioned that he founded the company with "No vision whatsoever".
As mentioned above, the company started as an email list by the founder. Initially, the founder only had 10-12 close friends on the list. The email list focused on new events happening in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Soon, the company transitioned into a full-on online classified advertisements platform. According to Craig Newmark, he had no vision behind creating the company. From this, one can conclude that the company has no vision behind it.
A mission is a description of a company's function, markets, and competitive advantages. Usually, it is in the form of a short written statement that defines the goals and philosophies of a company. The mission of Craigslist is available on its website.
Among other things, its mission includes giving people an online platform to people, being inclusive, being a collection of communities with similar spirits, providing an alternative to impersonal, big-media sites, etc.
The idea behind what it does is also clear, simplicity. Despite its popularity, it has not transitioned into a big technology name or other markets. The reason behind it is intentional as it believes in keeping things simple.
The objective of a company defines the goal or outcome it wants to achieve. These are usually measurable and effective descriptions of actions required to achieve its goals. For Craigslist, the objective is to focus on user satisfaction and experience.
It wants to achieve its objectives by providing a service based on trust and simplicity. Its goals have never included maximizing profits or generating revenues. Therefore, its objectives don't focus on making more money.
The company also stated that its goal is to offer localized services, which is free as well as convenient for users. It gives an insight into the beliefs and objectives of the company.
Craigslist provides services free of charge in over 80 countries. However, there are some listings on the website which require users need to pay.
Despite the paid postings, the prices are significantly below what experts believe the company should be charging. Similarly, the simplicity and focus on user experience are also apparent on its website, which is very similar to the classified section of a newspaper and free from any gimmicks and bloatware.
Business Model:
The business of a company refers to its plan on how it wants to make money. It is also an explanation of how a company delivers value at an appropriate cost. As mentioned above, for Craigslist, the focus has never been to generate profits.
Therefore, the company has a unique business model. The company believes in providing value to its users. For Craigslist, the network and users come first, and the profits come later.
It also doesn't believe in promotions. It depends on word of mouth to get new users. By now, the platform is popular enough to not rely on paid promotions to get new users. The company also focuses on providing free services.
The platform has no special or gimmicky features. It believes in keeping things simple, and that is apparent in the website design. It has retained a minimal design to focus more on value generation and less on design elements.
Craigslist is an online classified advertisement platform. Founded in 1995, the company has become a well-known name in the classifieds market.
The vision, mission, objectives and business model of the company focus on providing value to its users rather than profit generation. It also focuses on keeping things simple and easy.

JAMES CITY — School Superintendent John E. Allen resigned Thursday amid what he termed a "spate of unrelenting negativism and criticism" from local elected officials, school board members and parents.
Allen, whose resignation was effective immediately, will be temporarily replaced by Assistant Superintendent Elwood T. Lewis, a Williamsburg native who attended Bruton Heights School and, until last June, was an elementary school principal in Alexandria.
Williamsburg-James City School Board Chairman William R. Bland said a search for Allen's replacement will begin "as soon as possible."
Allen, who came here in 1981, will receive $263,056 in salary, or $6,416 per month for 41 months, until June 30, 1993, the date his current, four-year contract ends, said Alvin Anderson, the board's attorney. State law requires four-year terms for school superintendents.
Allen will receive other benefits for the next 90 days, as his contract stipulates, plus unused vacation time, all of which totals about $275,000, Anderson said.
Because the city and county fund the joint school division, a majority of City Council and county Board of Supervisors members had to be willing to fund the salary in the remaining three years of Allen's four-year contract.
Following a two-hour executive session, which Allen did not attend, the School Board issued a statement which read, in part: "Both boards concur with Dr. Allen that he can no longer effectively administer the school system without the full support of the joint board."
At least six of the nine board members wanted him replaced, and they met earlier this month to discuss whether to fire him. They were legally deadlocked, however, because of a contract clause that requires two majorities, one among the four city-appointed members and one among the five county-appointed members.
School Board members praised Allen during much of his first two four-year terms, but in the last year he was publicly and privately criticized for being a weak administrator, for not presenting a vision for the 5,800-pupil division, for withholding information from the board members and for communicating brashly with local officials, board members and school officials.
He has also been blamed for not improving the low standardized test scores of the division's black students. In a statement Allen issued, he wrote that those scores would have improved under his leadership.
He declined to comment Thursday but his four-page statement listed many of his accomplishments, including meeting the needs of the school division in the face of growth, overseeing a review and revision of the curriculum, and providing training for two-thirds of the division's teachers.
"My career in Williamsburg has not ended the way I would have liked," he wrote, "but I leave with no apologies for my service here. Managing a growing school system in a demanding community is often a thankless task both for policy makers and administrators. One of the attractions for me to come to Williamsburg was the realization that this is a dynamic, high-expectation community."
His statement also showed regret, citing "the recent spate of unrelenting negativism and criticism.
"I pray for a rejection of the negative attitudes which now exist and hope that more positive attitudes and a spirit of cooperation will lead to the progress everyone wants."
Former board member and Allen critic Stella Neiman said, "I devoutly hope that the board will find for its next superin tendent a person who's skilled in the areas of curriculum and instruction, participatory management and who also recognizes he is the educational leader. Other than that, I wish Dr. Allen and his wife well."
Allen, 61, came here from Newark, Del., where he worked as a deputy superintendent and superintendent for 14 years. During that time, he was widely praised for helping the 17,000-pupil New Castle County School District manage a soaring growth rate.
Allen began to disagree frequently with a few local elected officials about three years ago.
Public criticism of the former superintendent began in the fall of 1988, when Williamsburg Mayor John Hodges attacked Allen's financial management. In January 1989, when the board voted 8-1 to renew his contract, the lone dissenter, Nolan T. Yelich, said "a change is needed and warranted." Two months after that, county supervisors Perry M. DePue and Thomas K. Norment Jr. said the school division suffered from "a public lack of confidence" in the administration.
The criticism lingered, and three new board members who were appointed last year soon became critics of Allen.
On accepting the resignation, Bland said, "I don't think the board would do this unless we thought it was necessary."

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. James H. Barrett helped people.
He helped revive the Retired Officers Association chapter in his native Annapolis. He drove voters to the polls on Election Day. He gave advice to young people interested in college. If someone needed help, he would lend a hand.
When he died Friday in Pensacola, Fla., Mr. Barrett was still helping -- escorting a doctor into an abortion clinic. He and Dr. John Bayard Britton were shot to death by an abortion opponent.
"He loved to help people," his younger brother, Annapolis printer Reggie Barrett, said yesterday. "If a woman needed help, he would help, and that's what he died for."
Mr. Barrett, 74, was born in Annapolis, the son of a local printer. He graduated from Annapolis High School and studied at St. John's College and the University of Maryland College Park before joining the military in 1939.
He was a navigator during World War II and a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars. His military assignments took him throughout the United States and to posts in Greenland, Saudia Arabia, West Germany and Japan.
He retired from the Air Force in 1969 and, after a stint in the real estate business, returned to Annapolis, settling in the family home on Locust Avenue.
He taught math and science at George Fox Middle School in Pasadena between 1976 and 1982.
Mr. Barrett and his late wife, the former Dorothy McDonald, raised two children, a son, Bruce Barrett, who now lives in Pensacola, and a daughter, Dandy Barrett Witty of Huntington, Conn.
In 1988, Mr. Barrett, then a widower, was among a number of retired military officers who revived the Annapolis chapter of the Retired Officers Association.
He met his second wife, the former June Griffith Allison -- a widow who retired with the rank of captain as a U.S. Public Health Service nurse -- the night they were both elected to the association's board of directors.
"They hit it off and less than a year later they were married," said retired Army Col. David Hoagland, who served with them on the board.
Mr. Barrett was president of the Annapolis Chapter of the Retired Officers Association from 1989 until 1992. The organization provides scholarships for the children of military officers, operates a job bank for retired officers and performs charity work.
Mr. Hoagland described Mr. Barrett as affable, friendly and involved.
His hobbies included flying and gardening. He was a member of the Fort Meade Flying Club.
In 1992, the Barretts moved to Pensacola seeking warmer weather and a new life.
They attended the Pensacola Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, volunteered for Escambia AIDS Service and Education (EASE) and were active in the Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
For the past 17 months, they had served as escorts at the Ladies Center, which provides gynecological services. Once ...X...XTC month, they would greet Dr. Britton at the airport and drive him to the clinic.
"He believed a woman had a right of choice," Reggie Barrett said.
Mr. Barrett had last visited Annapolis in May. At the time, he talked with his brother about the escort work at the clinic and indicated that he thought it was dangerous.
"I don't think I fully realized the risk," Mr. Barrett said, "but he did."
On Friday, Mr. Barrett was driving a pickup truck, taking Dr. Britton to the Ladies Center. Mrs. Barrett was riding in the back seat of the cab.
A gunman opened fire with a shotgun, fatally wounding Mr. Barrett and Dr. Britton in the head.
Mrs. Barrett was wounded in the arm.
Police charged Paul Hill, a well-known abortion opponent, with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
The Barrett family has planned a private funeral.
His wife suggested memorial donations be sent to the Ladies Clinic, 6770 Ninth Ave., Pensacola, Fla. 32504; to the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 904 E. Scott St., Pensacola 32503; or to EASE, P.O. Box 13584, Pensacola 32591.
In addition to his wife, brother, and children, Mr. Barrett is survived by his mother, Mabel G. Barrett of Annapolis, and two grandsons, Sean Witty and Jason Witty of Connecticut.

Visceral drew the ire of bookworms and literature students when it revealed its videogame adaptation of Dante's Inferno. Some believe the classic poem has been violated by a tasteless videogame company doing tasteless videogame things, but the studio has hit back by claiming that true fans of the poem actually love the game.
"Generally those critics are often people who weren't fans of the poem and weren't that familiar with it until they heard we were doing this," alleges executive producer Jonathan Knight. "What we're finding is, a few people anyway, that quite clearly didn't know it well, now have gone off and read it and they're looking for ways to go, oh you're taking liberties here, or you didn't do this, or whatever. But the reality is that true Dante fans, people who actually have spent time with the literature and care about it are over the moon with the game project.
"I like to say the game is a celebration of Dante. There are more people going to actually read the poem, learn about The Divine Comedy, read up on Dante and what he meant to western culture, than otherwise would have. That's a good thing. The game's not meant to replace the poem. It's not meant to be like, hey, play the game and you don't have to read the poem. The cool thing is the opposite is happening. More people are reading it, not less, because of the game."
I think Visceral has it right. The Dante's Inferno videogame can have as little or as much to do with the poem as you want. It's not taken anything away from the original work, and those crying sacrilege really are getting worked up over something that has no real impact on their enjoyment of literature. It's a videogame. Its job is to entertain us a game, not as a book.
Of course, if the game itself sucks, then feel free to criticize it to the Moon. But let's wait on that, shall we?

Making the Grade
I recently purchased some select grade oak, and after the floor was installed, I felt as though the wrong material was installed. Don't all select floors have to be about the same?
Cort Dunlap, owner at Seattle-based Bamboo & Hardwood Inspections and an NWFACP-certified inspector, answers:
No, they don't. Although "select" has had a specific grading definition for many decades, manufacturers are only held to that if their flooring is certified under NOFMA/NWFA standards. Those products will adhere to strict grading rules and be consistent; if a product is certified and it is "select," you know what you are getting.
If manufacturers are not NOFMA/NWFA-certified, they may use the name "select" but have their own proprietary grades-so what one manufacturer calls "select" may not look like what another manufacturer sells as "select." Basically, from a legal standpoint, manufacturers could sell bark with a tongue and groove on it and call the material "select" if they wanted to. Since the rules are not printed and sent with the flooring, oftentimes the end user just gets a sample to look at and picks the flooring grade. Not infrequently, the sample does not reflect the content of the actual grade, and this leads to a lot of confusion.
Oftentimes, consumers seem to buy wood flooring on a lark, even though it may be the largest purchase in their home. When you buy a car, you do lots of research about the car and know what you're getting before you spend $25,000 or more. You don't just say, "Ooo, it's red, I like it!"-which is the approach some people seem to take with hardwood flooring. Help your customers do the research prior to their actual purchase. Grading of wood is a very complex, often-overlooked part of buying a wood floor, and that can lead to a lot of buyer's remorse.
Seeking Balance
I keep seeing references to a wood floor's EMC-what is that, exactly? Is it important?
Grete Heimerdinger, vice president at moisture meter manufacturer Lignomat, answers:
Every floor installer and inspector should know about the magic phrase "equilibrium moisture content" and what it means. The EMC is the moisture content when wood is stable-it is neither gaining nor losing moisture. The EMC changes depending on the relative humidity and temperature. Comparing the actual moisture content to the equilibrium moisture content indicates if a wood floor is stable, or if it will lose or absorb moisture, leading to shrinking or swelling.
You can predict whether a floor will change (or move or shrink or swell) using an EMC chart-you can match up the temperature and relative humidity to see what the EMC of the wood should be (an easy way to reference this is in the U.S. Forest Product Laboratory's Wood Handbook; the chapters are available for free online and the EMC chart is Table 4-2). According to the chart, for example, we could look at the case of a "perfect" floor installed when it has a moisture content of 6.9%, the relative humidity in the home is 35%, and the temperature is 70 degrees-it is installed at its EMC. In the dry winter months, with the heat on, the humidity inside the home falls to 20%. The wood floor will consequently lose moisture down to 4.5%, and gaps may occur. In the moist summer months, the same floor could pick up moisture to a moisture content of 10.1% if the relative humidity stays around 55%.
Is Red Rosin OK?
We've been using red rosin paper on our plywood subfloors for many years before we install hardwood, but someone recently told me that it isn't acceptable. What's wrong with it?
Don Conner, technical director at NWFA, answers:
Our NWFA Installation Guidelines explicitly state (in Appendix C, page 10, note 4) that you should not use red rosin paper for installing wood flooring, and I'm not aware of any U.S. manufacturer that recommends it; the reason is that it's not a moisture inhibitor. In fact, it holds moisture-if you put a drop of water on red rosin paper, it soaks in like it would on a paper towel. What you need is a product that reduces moisture vapor migration from the subfloor, and there are many products on the market today that will do that. When you're choosing a product, check the perm rating-that tells you how much moisture it will allow through-to make sure it's in the right range for the wood flooring and the subfloor on the job.
Some people also use red rosin paper to cover an installed floor to protect it from other trades, but that isn't recommend, either, because it can leave a residue on the floor. On a prefinished floor, you can actually see a haze that the paper leaves behind on the surface of the floor, and on an unfinished floor, it could inhibit finish adhesion.
The best way to make money in this business is to get training, because best practices and products change. Make sure you're up to date on the latest products that will work the best for your jobs.

Respect of the closure is being emphasised by not only the DCV but by the owner of Bowen Ranch as well. I observed a recently revised flyer being given to patrons of the Bowen Ranch campground informing them of the USFS closure. Bottom line is it's up to each and every individual to respect the current closure. Seeing the Soaknet information gets the word out. Compliance with USFS regulations promotes their cooperation in responding to our stated desire to have the closure lifted. Our case is based upon good science.....Deep Creek Hot Springs was not affected by the fire and should be excluded from access restrictions.
On another note....the Anniversary pool has been repaired.

If you have a question(s) about placing an order, product lead times, scheduling, or SDHQ's operating procedures. This page will have most if not all of the answers you are looking for.
Due to the huge influx of walk-in customers and calls, there is a good chance that if you call in, our receptionist will have to start a help ticket for you, and the appropriate representative will email or call you back as soon as one frees up.
If you wanted to skip a call in, an email would often get answered quickly, if not faster. Please email us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Company Info:

Saturday: 9:00am-2:00pm
Sunday: Closed
Right now, we are booking 90-120 days for suspension modification, diagnostics, gear, and performance jobs; custom fabrication can book out as far and 1.5 years in advance. If the vehicle was not your daily driver, and we had parts available, you are more than welcome to drop the vehicle off, and we would add it to our filler list of work. So rather than a dedicated install window, our techs would do their best to get your build done when we have open shop time.
Simply put, if you want an item place an order for it.
Here is why:
With current extensive lead times from manufacturers, most products are sold before they land here, so if you are waiting for it to become available on-the-shelf purchase, that may never actually happen. Products that are arriving now that we can put on the shelf or ship out for backorders were placed on PO over a year ago in some cases.
Why can no one take my call right now?
Due to the influx of phone calls, we have implemented an online ticketing system to best serve each customer. When you call SDHQ, we will take down your contact information, your vehicle information, and all the questions you have.
After your information is taken down, a ticket will be created, and an email will be sent to you confirming that a ticket has been made. This ticket creation confirmation will provide a brief overview of your question(s). If there is additional information you need to deliver after you receive the ticket confirmation, respond to the ticket confirmation email with your further question or comments.
Why do I have to create a ticket with the receptionist?
We want to help each customer to the best of our ability, and while we have a worldwide footprint, we are at the end of the day a single building filled with 50 enthusiastic employees that are excited to help you with your questions. There are 8 of us in sales, and the reality of the situation is that there are just not enough of us to go around with the number of inquiries we get from walk-in traffic, scheduled jobs, phone calls, emails, text messages, and online orders. So, in this case, we ask us to help us help you; the more information we can gather on the front side from our ticket system, the better we can facilitate your questions and orders.
A task seemingly simple as a stock check requires a physical person to put hands on the item due to multiple sales channels. Our inventory system may show something in stock. Still, it may be already allocated to a pending ticket or order that has been partially fulfilled, or it may not show that something is in stock. Still, it arrived, but has not been checked in due to an influx of arriving inventory in the warehouse. In both scenarios, be patient. We want you to get the item you are requesting more than you do! It brings us joy to have the missing puzzle piece that you need to finish your project, get your vehicle back on the road, or start a new modification.
If you create a ticket, our entire sales staff will look at it. If it is an install issue, it allows us to share pictures, videos, and information with the proper department.
Tickets are answered in the order that they are received, and while we try to make sure that we get back to you as soon as possible, it might take up to 72 hours.

You will notice that no shipping charges are shown during your check-out process, no matter what delivery method you choose. We do this to allow you to receive to lowest shipping cost possible. We try to consolidate shipments and use the most efficient shipping method, freight, or UPS ground services to keep the shipping cost down. Our shipping department will determine the shipping charges, and you will be notified of the cost. This is the best way for us to give you the lowest cost.

Your updated order will include your order's shipping costs and be your original order with the letter "A" at the end.

Construction projects usually have several different parties involved such as a builder, engineer, contractor, etc. to take care of its various stages. Due to these interconnected role players, in the event of discovering a construction defect, getting it adjusted can be quite hard for a property owner. Therefore, the best strategy here is to have a construction defect attorney by your side.
Whether a property is new or old, finding a construction defect in it can become a nightmare for the owners. Aside from diminishing the value of the property by a significant proportion, it can also become a cause for many troubles.
In such a case, the immediate person to report for an adjustment of a construction defect claim is the developer or the builder, although it might not prove to be helpful. This means that in some situations, a property owner might have to resort to hiring a construction defect attorney to start a litigation process.
And while finding a construction defect attorney is as simple as searching for construction defect attorney near me to get a list of lawyers that specialize in construction-related legal disputes, you need to understand a few basic insights on construction defects.
This article explains, from a property owner's perspective, about construction defects, who is involved and why it can take time to adjust, statutory limitations in construction defect claims, who should be sued, and examples of construction defect claims.
What is a construction defect?
Construction defects usually mean a defect that results from a failure –
- in using or applying professional acumen, knowledge, and best practices while designing the building plans, details as to material and workmanship, and guidelines for the project;
- to abide by the construction details as prescribed or provided in the building designs and material usage plans by the architecture and engineer for a construction project; and
- in exercising professional workmanship and using below-standard material while using and applying the material, systems, building plan details, and equipment during the construction process of a property.
All these three failures show negligence and deficiencies at various stages of the construction process. This subsequently could result in affecting any components of the building, reduction in useful life of mechanical systems, and possible impairment of structural integrity.
How can a construction defect attorney help a property owner in case of a construction defect?
A construction defect attorney is a lawyer who specializes in litigating on behalf of clients facing issues related to construction or structural defects caused due to negligence or use of poor grade material and workmanship.
Why hiring a construction defect attorney is important for a property owner?
Construction defects tend to have complex nature and so it is not easy to identify them on a timely basis or in the correct manner. Some construction defects become visible within a short time in a newly constructed property while others may take years to reveal themselves.
On the other hand, the homeowner and the developer might not also agree on whether an issue constitutes a construction defect or not.
As a preliminary step, a construction defect lawyer can help the affected property owner in identifying the nature of the defect. This means finding out whether a defect is patent or latent.
What is a patent construction defect?
A patent construction defect is a defect that becomes visible through normal inspection or that is already known.
What is a latent construction defect?
A latent construction defect may intentionally or unintentionally have been hidden or concealed, making its discovery difficult through normal inspection or observation.
Who is involved in a construction process and why can it take time to adjust construction defect claims?
In every construction process, several parties are involved, each having a contractual relationship with the other to work in a specific but interconnected stage of the project. Examples of these parties and their relationships with each other can be explained as follows –
- A developer hires an architect to design the basic plans of the construction.
- The architect consults a civil engineer to ascertain the feasibility of the designs, drawings, and plans.
- The developer hires a construction attorney to get the paperwork approved from relevant building and housing authorities and agencies to begin the construction phase.
- The developer hires a contractor to execute the plans as designed by the architect, which were reviewed by the civil engineer, and then finally approved by the concerned federal, state, or area departments.
- The contractor hires subcontractors for carrying out any specific jobs such as plumbing, electric wiring, etc. for the whole project.
Due to the existence of these relationships in a single construction project, liabilities pass and spread on several parties. Establishing the fact as to which party should be held responsible for a breach or construction defect could easily delay the claim adjustment process if the normal procedure is followed.
Thus, to speed things up, hiring a well-experienced construction defect attorney should always be preferred.
Categories of construction defects
Broadly speaking, all construction defect claims can be put into three main categories. These are –
- Defects in design
- Defects in material
- Defects in workmanship
Defects in design
Defects can occur at any stage of the designing process. But since the design and drawing plans pass through an architect, engineer, attorney, and agencies for approval, they should be easy to identify.
Still, some defects could go unnoticed and could later result in a construction defect.
Defects in material
Materials used in a construction project could also be defective. Several factors could become a cause of material defects. These can be –
- It is possible that the person in charge of the material procurement intentionally purchased poor quality to save costs.
- It is also possible that the supplier with or without knowledge delivered a sub-standard material.
- And lastly, the inherent nature of the material used wasn't deemed fit for the purpose it was used.
Defects in workmanship
Defects in workmanship arise due to the failure in complying with the actual designs, construction plans, and even regulations or bylaws, during any stage of the construction process.
For example, not having a professional employed to supervise the project or failure to carry out regular inspections and approvals before proceeding with the next stage of the project, etc.
Common examples of construction defects
The following is a list of construction defect claims that fall under the above three categories.
- Water leaks from windows, doors, wall cracks, or ceilings during rains.
- Faults in plumbing that result in leakage or proper drainage of wastewater.
- Cracks in tile flooring on the inside, garage area, or patio area.
- Unleveled layering of tiles resulting in accumulation of water in particular regions of the floor. Thus, requiring it to be wiped towards the drain instead of it flowing to the drain itself.
- Moisture problems due to bad waterproofing.
- Noticeable space between countertops, cabinets, and wardrobe units in the kitchen and the bathroom, respectively.
- Open electrical wiring resulting in injury and making use of power sockets unsafe.
- Drywall having stains on ceilings or windowsills.
- Paint cracks and peeling appearing on the drywall and/or stucco due to changes in weather or the presence of other defects.
- Squeaking of doors and windows making them difficult to open and close.
- Improper finishing.
Examples of construction defect claims
An owner of a commercial, residential, or industrial property might file a lawsuit for construction defect claims in the following instances –
Breach of contract
A developer specifically states and takes full responsibility for exercising due diligence in making sure that the property being sold was constructed using the best possible practices and is fit for the use as mentioned in the contract of sale or as intended by the buyer.
However, upon using the buyer discovers a significant breach of the developer's duties and therefore files a claim.
Breach of warranty
Breach of warranty arises when the developer deliberately or non-deliberately fails to make good claim for a construction defect discovered within the time stipulated within and which is covered under a warranty provision.
End thoughts
Construction defects could take years to discover and so the question of judging the suitability of filing a claim may arise.
Generally, the statute of repose and statute of limitations apply in such matters. However, these laws vary according to each state. Therefore, while finding the right type of construction defect attorney, make sure that he is well experienced to provide legal counseling in your area.
Your attorney should know how to frame your case if a defect is found after many years of construction, how construction businesses work, and what practices are followed which usually either result in defects or prevent them from occurring.
A well-versed construction defect attorney should also be equipped with the latest knowledge of the construction industry and regulations governing different aspects of it.
For example, in case of construction defects arising in a residential property, your attorney should have the capability to structure your claim accordingly. This is because commercial and residential construction projects follow different regulations, safety protocols, etc. Eventually, what might be taken as a major defect in one sector, might be considered a minor one in the other.

Tri-State Cowboy Museum's statue receives a fresh coat of paint

By Scott Bidroski
A much needed coat of paint has been applied to a very prominent statue here in Gordon.
Gordon resident Anne Liebermann volunteered her time, and artistic talent, to give new life to the statue that stands in front of the Tri-State Old Time Cowboy Museum.
"We moved to Gordon three years ago and it has been something I wanted to get done," said Liebermann.
"I finally just said I am going to just call him (Dave "Doc" Browder) and ask to donate my time," she added.
Liebermann, along with her daughter, Tariqa, and husband, Tim, got to work right away chipping off the old paint.
Tim spent two days sanding down the statue with a hand grinder.
A new coat of primer was then applied, which was donated by True Value in Gordon, before the paint was carefully done.
After some hours and attention to detail, the finished product was completed and dazzled for all to see.
"I just got a call one day from Anne and she wanted to know if I would like the statue repainted," said Doc Browder.
"I thought she was kind of joking but I met her down there and they were already starting to work," he added.
The project was a huge success, with multiple citizens commenting on the outstanding work of Liebermann. But that was not the driving factor behind the project.
"I did not do it for the publicity but it was just something I felt like I can give back to Gordon," said Anne Liebermann.
