When calculating confidence intervals for population parameters, the population size is never a factor, rather sample size and the estimated parameter are used.
It seems to me very counter-intuitive that to assert with a certain confidence that a certain view has certain probability, one requires the same sample size regardless of whether the population is 2K persons or 2M persons.
Why is the confidence of estimated parameters of normal distributions independent of the population size?

Photographer's Note
That΄s the question, I asked myself when I saw this scene, on my first day when it was getting dark
If returning, meant they accepted civilization in the occidental way, car transportation, tourists, fences, electrical light and poles and the list continues till the infinity
If leaving they would be wanting to keep alive their traditional way of life
Watching now the photo, I noticed that the answer is in it
Hope you find which the true one is

Hola Maria,
nice the snapshot with the camels to passing by in front of your camera,never mind if they came or leave from the area.I ike the whole scene with the round tents to are on the green land creating contrast and beauty in it.

hello Maria,
here is an interesting mi of ancient and modern life. I like the varied detail of foreground interest, mid ground yurts and the mountains in the background. I can't be sure whether these riders are coming or going, perhaps returning as the camel's humps seem empty and I'm guessing that is an evening light?
best regards,

Ola Maria,
Interesting photo from Mongolia, the country we see here on TE very rarely. Thanks for sharing. Nice composition with this group on horses with camels and dog. For turists specially, it is interesting to see the yurtas. But to live there in modern world? I do not know.

Hello Maria,
The traditional lifestyle of Mongolia is no doubt changing, like everywhere else. The ambitions of the politicians are to explore the natural resources to make the country rich, and richness means new habits, new ways of life. The cities are growing and the big house to the left shows that people even in the countryside are moving into ordinary flats. Even the baseball cap indicates a new lifestyle. Apart from all this, it is another interesting photo with good colours and a scenery that no modernization will change - unless they start digging for copper right here.
Kind regards,

Hi maria
Beautiful landscape of green pastures, good resolution and wide view of the landscape
Have a nice day
kato (11630) 2013-07-02 5:12
Hello Maria,
I think that you are throwing one question to contemporary civilization with this photograph. It can be heard so that it may be the question whether the convenience of civilization makes people happy. Surely, in this photograph, there is a glimpse of a life of people who have pierced through the simple way of life. There are a rich prairie, yurt with simple and portable dwelling structure, clean air and lovely animals in this place. It is the question which deserves asking economic effectuation to the people of today who is pursuing and living using the convenience of civilization. Well captured and excellent tone/clarity.
Kind regards,

Hola Maria,
The wide landscape decorated the white big tents these people live in. White & green in great contrast, while the animals and people in picture, shown in closer range and created wonderful DOF and scale on the whole.
An amazing land in green, no trees in sight.
marvelous taken photo.

Hi Maria
Another typical Mongolian landscape with green rolling hills, yurds as trademarks along with camel and horses. They add perspective and scale proportion to the open vast land with some attractive interests in the fg and mid fg, a good combination of modern and tradition. The weather is fairly good at the end of the day with misty feel in the distance. Another nice record shot. Congrats, TFS.
Best regards

Ciao Maria
i tuoi paesaggi mongoli sono ricchi di fascino e mi ripeto anche in questa tua bella fotografia che coglie in maniera perfetta la poesia di queste vaste distese poco abitate dall'uomo.
Composizione sempre ben curata e ricca di spunti paesaggistici.
Ciao e buona serata

Hola Maria
You mentioned under a few posters about the "advanced society" slowly invading the steppes; it's OK for Mongolian welfare as long as civilization doesn't spoil the serenity of such a piece of Tov captured by the rules book for a refined tableau!
Hasta luego.
Waylim (25436) 2013-08-01 11:14
Hi Maria,
These three animals you mention are probably the most important in their life since the beginner. I guess, soon streets and car will replace some of it. Life is changing for good or bad. For us tourist we like to see it as the way it was, pristine landscape and no high tech stuff, but for them they also wan the luxery of it like people in the city? Maybe?
Anyway, a good shot of hte over landscape and nice foreground. Yes, the electricty poles takes away the feeling of complete nautral setting, but it is reality as it is now.
Miguel82 (34254) 2013-09-24 4:24
Holΰ Maria, a type of steppes landscape all travellers would like to see when they come in Mongolia, all the elements of a classic and famous region : bactrian camels, the nomads, horses and the gers in the bg, good dof and colors, thanks, have a nice day

Secrecy hovers over airport hiring
BRIDGEPORT -- The hiring of Pauline Mize, the new acting manager at Sikorsky Memorial Airport, could be a fresh start for the scandal-plagued facility.
She brings prior experience running a small airport, something fired predecessor John Ricci lacked when he landed at Sikorsky more than two decades ago.
But the details of how Mize, the longtime companion of Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry Manager Fred Hall, was chosen have been as secret as the $400,000 taxpayer-funded driveway that got Ricci terminated.
The mayor's office has ignored repeated questions about the hiring process, such as whether the opening was advertised, how many candidates applied with Mize and did the administration know about her link to Hall?
Mize began work last Monday and the mayor's office issued a formal announcement Thursday, saying she would fill the job while a national search continued. But Mize is in the running to be the permanent airport manager.
"I don't know anybody at the airport that was not surprised," said David Faile Jr., head of the 650-member strong Friends of Sikorsky. The group uses and promotes Sikorsky.
The last Faile knew, Steve Ford, Sikorsky's longtime superintendent of operations, was running things during the nationwide search.
And that was what the mayor told members of the Sikorsky Airport Commission, according to minutes of the group's Sept. 3 meeting. The commission includes Finch, Bridgeport City Council President Thomas McCarthy, D-133, and Stratford Mayor John Harkins.
Finch fired Ricci in August for allegedly failing to reveal his business relationship with developer Manuel "Manny" Moutinho. The city, with Ricci's help, quietly hired Moutinho earlier this year to build a $400,000, no-bid driveway over airport land to Moutinho's mansion and three neighboring properties.
Hearst Connecticut Newspapers first reported on the driveway in early June when it was completed. The city has insisted that, despite the Ricci scandal, Moutinho was owed a driveway because his original access way will be taken as part of a Sikorsky runway safety project.
Faile said the first time many people learned of Mize was last Wednesday in an email about a change in the procedure for requesting an airport security badge. Mize was mentioned as the person initiating the change.
"I was just blown out of the water," Faile said. "Let us know she's coming, and make sure there's introductions."
He added he thought Ford was doing a good job filling Ricci's role.
"To me it's confusing," Faile said.
A week later and the Finch administration has provided little additional insight.
At first, the mayor's office ignored basic questions from Hearst Connecticut Newspapers about Mize's selection.
"Ms. Mize was chosen from amongst various solicited resumes," Finch spokeswoman Elaine Ficarra wrote late Monday in an email, ignoring questions about whether the airport manager job was advertised, how many others applied and whether Mize was approved by the Civil Service Office.
Finally Tuesday afternoon, Ficarra said Mize was selected over two other candidates. Ficarra said the city decided it had to move "expeditiously" to hire an interim airport manager to move ahead with the runway safety work.
But the mayor's office refused to release any other resumes submitted by the additional candidates. Ficarra cited restrictions within the state Freedom of Information Act.
"The city is not obligated to release the identity of applicants," Ficarra said. "Indeed, to do so would be violating the confidentiality that the applicants had reason to rely upon based upon and expressed exemption to the FOIA."
But according to the state's FOIA office, that exemption only applies if the city formed an official executive search committee, which also remained unclear.
In an interview late last week, Mize recalled learning of Ricci's departure through news articles and submitting her resume to Bridgeport.
She said she was interviewed by three members of Finch's staff -- Chief Administrative Officer Andrew Nunn, Alanna Kabel, assistant chief administrative officer, and a third, unnamed employee.
Ficarra Tuesday said Public Facilities Director Charles Carroll hired Mize following the interview process.
Nunn is also acting director of the city Port Authority, which is helping negotiate the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry's relocation across the city's harbor after the Zoning Commission denied the move.
Mize confirmed last week that she has been in a relationship with the ferry's general manager, Fred Hall, for 16 years and the two live together in a home on Long Island.
The mayor's office has also ignored questions about whether that relationship was known when Mize was hired. But City Attorney Mark Anastasi and Mize last week said there is no conflict of interest because the ferry has no dealings with the airport.
Lennie Grimaldi, who ran Finch's successful 2000 race for state Senate and runs the Only in Bridgeport news site, said he too is puzzled by how the administration has handled Mize's introduction.
"Because of the recent airport controversy, the city has to roll out this kind of story in full before the media rolls it out; otherwise it can take on a life of its own," Grimaldi said. "She appears to be someone who has background in running at least one airport, and that brings something positive to the table."

2012 blame game: Will it ever end?
Four months after taking an electoral pounding, Republicans can't agree on what went wrong in 2012 — let alone on a path to recovery.
Each week brings a new diagnosis of the party's woes. Karl Rove says it's candidate quality. Mitt Romney chief strategist Stuart Stevens argues Democrats have won over minority voters through government programs like Obamacare. Some Bush White House vets say it's the GOP's trouble understanding how to approach a changing electorate. Techy conservatives blame the party's inferior social media presence and outdated voter targeting and data-mining.
Story Continued Below
With fault to go around for allowing a president mired in a weak economy to handily win reelection, the finger-pointing and blame-shifting from various corners are showing no sign of abating.
( Also on POLITICO: Ashley Judd target of GOP preemptive strike)
The next shot at the White House is years away, the Senate is firmly in Democratic hands and Rove is no longer the universally respected strategic hand he once was. That's all left the Republicans — who, like Democrats, have seen their central party infrastructure weaken — without a consensus figure to interpret what the election meant.
The party is "leaderless," as conservative writer Rich Lowry put it last week.
And the current crop of elected officials, uncertain of where the Republican electorate actually stands after a cycle of widely off-base polling, appears gun-shy.
There's a split between those who believe the party's problem is cosmetic, those who believe it's data-based and those who think it's ideological and policy-based. Within those camps, there's no common ground on what a better approach would look like.
( Roger Simon column: GOP wants crazy after all these years)
"If you've at least defined and everybody's accepted the reasons why the election went so poorly, that's just a critical starting point," said David Winston, a veteran Republican pollster who does survey-taking for the House GOP caucus.
The post-mortems are playing out against the backdrop of budgetary fights that have become the Washington version of Groundhog Day — a deadline approaches, both sides blame the other, the president uses the bully pulpit to flog the opposition and polls show the Republican brand sliding further into a hole.
The constant drama, a number of Republicans say, has denied the party writ large a chance to take stock amid calm. Still, the Republican National Committee is moving ahead with what Chairman Reince Priebus has at times called an "autopsy" into 2012.
Its review of what happened last cycle is expected to wrap up in the next few weeks, and other players such as the Koch brothers are conducting their own dissection.
Winston said he hopes and assumes that the RNC critique will "define what went wrong so you can get everybody focused on what the solution should look like."
And across newspapers and cable news flow a stream of center-right versus conservative-right stories, a perennial battle within the party but one that's seen new heat in the past four months. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was not invited to speak at CPAC, but Mitt Romney was — and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) is angry about it, goes one storyline.
( WATCH: Chris Christie wishes CPAC 'all the best')
"I think there will always be tension between moderates in the party and the conservative base, but that has existed for decades and only goes away after we win an election. It went away for a bit after Reagan, and it went away for a bit after Bush 41," said conservative strategist Greg Mueller. "But in losing," he added, "it's back with some intensity."
Democrats, too, went through spasms of revolt and recrimination after a presidential loss — most recently in 2000 and 2004.

Writ Of Execution

Registered: 6 years ago
Posts: 36
I am a Judgment Broker, and am not knowledgeable. My articles unit of measurement my opinions, and not legal recommendation. If you ever would love any legal recommendation or a way to use, please contact knowledgeable. An execution of a judgment is that the tactic that begins once a judgment owner hires a political candidate officer of the court (usually the Sheriff) to want possession of property happiness to the judgment person, with the aim and goal of mercantilism it to satisfy the judgment against the person.
Judgment execution rules would possibly vary by state and jurisdiction. Judgment executions generally have four steps: 1) The judgment soul learns regarding Associate in Nursing offered quality of their judgment person, and where it's placed. 2) The judgment soul buys a written document of execution (called a
fifa coins
in some states) from the court. 3) The judgment soul contacts the shielder to be told the specified work, costs, and procedures; to levy the judgment debtor's property.
The judgment soul delivers the court written document, fees, and required documents, and doubtless a letter of instruction; to the shielder (or completely different official officer, perhaps a Marshall or Constable). The court can justify but it works where one lives. 4A) If the judgment debtor's property is
cheap fut coins
money, from wages or bank accounts (where state laws allow), the shielder makes an effort a levy (called a judicial writ in some states), and if it's productive, eventually pays the judgment creditor; usually deducting alittle fee for each check issued. 4
If the judgment debtor's property can be a physical quality, as AN example, a vehicle, assets, a coin assortment, a flat-screen TV, a pet, or many different sorts of non-money assets; the shielder charges a hefty fee to the judgment soul, then levies the debtor's quality, and schedules it offered at a shielder auction at a future date.

If you're interested in living in one of the fastest-growing counties in the state of North Carolina, then Pitt County real estate might be for you! Pitt County is home to over 171,000 residents, and continues to grow at an accelerating rate. The county saw a population boom in 1990 that hasn't slowed much since.
The county seat is in Greenville, NC, where real estate has been booming. With a growing business district and the fastest-growing UNC campus – East Carolina University – Greenville, NC real estate prices are holding steady. Greenville is also known for its exceptional health care. The Vidal Medical Center hosts more than 1700 licensed medical providers, who serve more than 1.2 million residents of North Carolina's inner banks. Plus, the state-of-the-art East Carolina Heart Institute has added an additional 250 jobs to the hospital.
Of course, health and business aren't the only things that make Greenville, NC real estate so popular. The city has an exploding culture and arts scene, largely due to East Carolina University and the creative student population.
Greenville might account for most of Pitt County real estate at the population rank. However, if you consider Pitt County from a geographic standpoint, you'll realize that there's much more to the county than Greenville, NC real estate.
Pitt County is home to a number of small towns like Grimesland, Farmville, Winterville, and Ayden. Each one of these towns is unique in and of itself. However, if there's one thing they all share in common, it's that they're in close proximity to the bustling, county seat, making them perfect locations for commuters.
While Greenville is, no doubt, a popular place to live, many Pitt County real estate owners enjoy living in more rural areas. The beautiful scenery of North Carolina's inner banks makes towns like Ayden and Farmville especially attractive for Greenville professionals and East Carolina University students.
If Pitt County real estate (or Greenville, NC real estate) sounds appealing to you, let Aldridge Estate help you find the perfect home. Pitt County boasts beautiful homes that top $1.5 million, as well as modestly priced homes just over $100,000.

Very good for a 3rd line guy already and has some skill that would make him a valuable fill-in if/when Sid/Malkin are out of the line up.
Don't know if I think ths is the best move on Shero's watch as Staal is a more proven commodity than anyone else in the trade and also has some upside still himself. Sounds like Staal/agent basically told Shero there was no way in hell he'd stay in Pittsburgh and would prefer to not even stay another season as #3 center. While it was pure fantasy to expect a Skinner or Faulk in return along with the #8 pick in the draft, I think the Pens may have got the lesser end of this deal.
FLPensFan wrote:Carolina easily got the best player in the deal in Staal, but Pittsburgh made out well. Sutter is more of a typical 3rd line center. He is good defensively, good on draws, kills penalties, and still has some offensive upside. He is a better fit for 3rd line center duty than Staal. He is the same age as Staal. He is cheaper than Staal. He gives us more cap flexibility for other moves.
Domoulin is being raved about on NHL Network as a possible steal in the trade, and we got a #8 overall pick. I see a lot of people complaining we took Pouliot too high, but I would say Pittsburgh probably has a better gauge on him than others after scouting Joe Morrow.

NEW YORK — Another Rolling Stones rumor bites the dust.
Hours before Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood took the stage with former band member Mick Taylor at a club in Manhattan on Saturday night, a crowd gathered outside amid speculation that they would be joined by fellow guitarist Keith Richards and, possibly, Mick Jagger.
Inside the Cutting Room was a mix of celebs — musician and actor Steven Van Zandt, Monkees member Micky Dolenz, fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, among others.
But the standing-room-only crowd of a few hundred got what was originally promised: A 90-minute set of guitar-grinding Jimmy Reed blues songs from Wood and Taylor.
The duo played a few shows at the club earlier in the week, too, tearing into the likes of "Bright Lights Big City" and "Going to New York."

It can be hard to embrace new ideas, but sometimes they just make a lot of sense. It's likely if no one actively pursued home refrigerators as a good idea, we'd still be storing our meat in salt. Actually, that's not a bad idea.
Some of you really took to Jason's idea of a front pickup bed that supplements the one at the back. Trucks have hardly been evolved enough to incorporate more modern packaging and that mostly comes down to the people who buy them. They're clearly set in their ways and insist they work. Even when their ways including loading up a bed way more than it should.
MrTheEngineer knows what's going to happen:
Can't wait to see some dumbass driving down the road with 2x4s sticking 6 feet out in front of his frunk bed.
The solution, McMike?
As long as the flag it, they should be alright. Right?
Yeah, that's likely. Some things may never change.

Creating An Eco-Friendly Landscape from the Ground Up
Orlando, FL. - Most homeowners understand the value of gardening in an eco-friendly manner, but many of us need guidance on how to do it properly. Something as simple as choosing the right plant for the right space can greatly reduce the impact we have on the earth. This episode touches on some of the most common mistakes we all make and offers practical, simple tips for gardening in a more earth-friendly way. It also demonstrates to viewer show taking just a few of these simple steps will create healthier plants, tastier produce and a safer environment for us all to enjoy.
More Ways to Create an Eco-Friendly Landscape at Home
Orlando, FL. - In the previous episode, we uncovered some of the most common "non-green" choices we all make when gardening, and offered some better choices and simple solutions. In this episode, we expand the discussion with ideas on conserving water, providing wildlife habitats, and reducing air pollution. We reveal some of the latest research on how houseplants, including herbs, are doing more to clean our indoor environment than we ever knew possible.
Phipps Conservatory - The Greenest Conservatory in the World
Pittsburgh, PA. - Over 100 years ago, wealthy businessman Henry Phipps built the Phipps Conservatory as a gift to the city of Pittsburg at the height of our nation's industrial revolution. Today Phipps has become a model for public gardens and conservatories around the world for sustainable building practices, energy conservation and eco-friendly methods. In the process, the Phipps Conservatory has earned the distinction of being "America's greenest garden" and the greenest conservatory in the world.
Growing Power - Will Allen's Story of Inspiration through a Garden
Milwaukee, WI. - In 1993, Growing Power was an organization with teens that needed a place to work. Will Allen (a 2008 MacArthur Foundation Fellow) was a farmer with land. Allen designed a program that offered teens an opportunity to work at his store and renovate the greenhouses to grow food for their community, along with the farming methods and educational programs that are now the hallmark of the non-profit organization. What started as a simple partnership to change the landscape of the north side of Milwaukee, has blossomed into a national nonprofit organization and land trust with a global commitment to sustainable food systems.
Composting 101 and Beyond
Seattle, WA. - Healthy plants start with healthy soil, and the single best amendment you can add to any soil is compost. It's full of the primary nutrients your plants need, along with beneficial microorganisms no manufactured product can provide. In addition, compost takes yard waste and kitchen scraps that might otherwise be destined for a landfill and keeps them at home, where they become black gold for your garden. This episode demonstrates that it is neither difficult nor expensive to make compost in your own backyard.
Urban Beekeeping - What's All The Buzz About?
Seattle, WA. - Backyard urban beekeeping is becoming more popular than ever, due in part to people's response to the mysterious die-off of many bee hives, known as colony collapse disorder. With high demand for fresh, local honey, combined with the important role bees play in a healthy garden, more people are setting up backyard hives than ever before. On this episode, we follow one such Seattle beekeeper to see what all the buzz is about.
The Edible Schoolyard - Using The Garden As The Classroom
Berkeley, CA. - The Edible Schoolyard is a shining example of how a garden can be used as an outdoor classroom, utilizing all of the children's senses to bring book-learning to life. This public middle school classroom uses a natural setting to teach every aspect of its core curriculum (math, science, language arts, social studies, nutrition awareness, etc.). Students learn about the full garden cycle and also learn to cook with what they grow. Viewers will discover how even small aspects of such a program can be incorporated into their own communities.
Fetzer: The Most Earth-Friendly Winery In America
Mendocino, CA. - Fetzer winery has won numerous awards for its quality wines and commitment to the environment. Fetzer not only produces wines in a very sustainable, responsible way, but also shares its knowledge openly with others in the industry in the hopes of shifting them to more environmental practices. The winery's goal is to create wines that are as good for the earth as they are on the palate, setting a fine example of what can be done at a corporate level, as well as what we can do in our own gardens to make a difference.
Annie's Annuals - Preserving Heirlooms While Promoting the Environment
Richmond, CA. - A few miles away from San Francisco sits a small wholesale/retail nursery called Annie's Annuals and Perennials. The business specializes in rare and heirloom plants that larger, commercial operations pass buy. In addition, everything at Annie's is grown the old-fashioned way: from seed, out in the wind, rain and sun. There are no greenhouses or machines. Viewers will learn about independent nurseries' practices such as biodegradable plant labels, recycling programs and eco-friendly growing practices. They will also find out how adding rare and heirloom plants to their own gardens can help preserve the species for the future.
Farmer D - A Young Man's Campaign to Lead By Example
Atlanta, GA. - Forget any stereotype of the farmer you may hold. Let go of any notion of the humble rustic in overalls of yesteryear and even the jacketed corporate farmer of today. Farmer D is an entirely new brand of farmer with a thumb more "green" than any of his predecessors. Born in South Africa in 1976, Daron 'Farmer D' Joffe, is the model of today's more eco-conscience farmer and the future of agriculture's more sustainable tomorrow. He lives to make a difference because of his passion for the earth and the biodynamic methodologies-available to us all--that can save it.
The Power of Worms - Vermicompost As An Organic Marvel
Sonoma, CA Princeton, NJ. - While worms are an important ingredient of the soil, they can steal the show in the compost pile. With vermicompost, worms do all the work of breaking down and decomposing kitchen scraps, turning it into nutrient rich castings for the garden. They take the garbage and turn it into black gold for the garden. This episode explores home vermicomposting, visits a commercial harvesting operation, and tours a "zero waste" company turning worm waste into a multi-million dollar operation as a natural fertilizer alternative.
Recycling Horticulture Waste - Making Better Choices One Pot at a Time
St. Louis, MO. - Each year, millions of plastic plant containers are not recycled. Instead they, along with millions of tons of other plastic, clog our solid waste stream and contribute to a growing but avoidable problem. The good news is that many companies are working hard to fix this problem. Viewers will learn what their choices are in the horticultural world today and how they can help eliminate this problem, one pot at a time.
All About Pruning - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Columbus, OH Mt. Airy, NC Seattle, WA. - Pruning trees and perennials can be very beneficial. It helps shape the plant while promoting future growth. But if done incorrectly, it can do more harm than good. To help viewers understand the truth about pruning, we bring in the experts, such as best-selling garden author Tracy Desabato-Aust, to demonstrate the science behind the practice and offer real life examples of how to do it correctly. Viewers learn the benefits, common mistakes and step-by-step instruction on how to promote healthy plants with careful pruning.
Living Homegrown Fresh - Raising Food & Livestock in Urban Backyards
Los Angeles, CA. - In today's world, we can eat out-of-season fruit and vegetables on any given day of the year. But there is a price to be paid for such luxuries. On average, the food we eat today travels 1500 miles from farm to fork, having a negative impact on the environment. But many home gardeners are changing that. Discover how to "keep it close to home" with purchases and pursuits, so we can achieve a more organic and fresh lifestyle without adversely impacting the environment.
Native Plants and Invasives & Certified Wildlife Habitats
Austin, TX. The human love affair with plants dates back thousands of years. When overseas travel became possible, exotic plants were common cargo on ships all across the world. Unfortunately, many of those plants proved to be far more aggressive outside of their native range. At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center we explain why some exotic plants are dangerous, how gardeners can prevent further spread of some of the more aggressive species, and how using the right native plant for a particular space can make gardening easier for people and better for the planet. We also visit a private native garden that is a certified wildlife habitat and look at what is involved in bringing nature to our own back door. In the kitchen, Chef Nathan uses an American native fruit, to create a baked blueberry clafouti.
Seed Savers Exchange - Saving the Planet by Saving Seeds
Decorah, IA. On an 890-acre farm in Iowa, the horticultural heritage of America is being preserved one seed at a time. The Seed Savers Exchange, a non-profit, member-supported organization, uses this farm to save and share the heirloom seeds of our garden heritage, creating a living legacy that can be passed on to future generations. Viewers will learn how to save seeds from their own garden and will better understand the importance of doing so. Chef Nathan uses fresh garlic to create a wonderful Italian pasta puttanesca.
Waterwise Gardening - Simple Solutions to Reduce Water Usage
Philadelphia, PA. For some, urban agriculture might seem like a new idea. But for the people at Greensgrow Farm, it's been their work and way of life for over 10 years. What was once a thriving galvanized steel plant, was eventually abandoned as an industrial brown field-hardly the kind of place you'd imagine for growing edible plants- But then again, most people don't have the entrepreneurial vision of Greensgrow's cofounder, Mary Seaton Corboy! About three miles north from the Downtown skyscrapers of Philadelphia and tucked within densely packed row houses, lies this pioneering urban farm, providing locally grown food for a community that often has little, while managing to survive as a profitable business in the process. It is a shining example of what can be done with a very small space when using sustainable practices. Chef Nathan uses butternut squash to create a hardy and delicious soup.
Waterwise Gardening - Simple Solutions To Reduce Water Usage & Manage Runoff
San Diego, CA and Seattle, WA. Water is a precious and limited resource, and we are using it at unsustainable rates. But with the proper education and numerous ways to irrigate more efficiently, we can still enjoy a beautiful thriving landscape on a lot less water. This episode visits author and waterwise expert, Nan Sterman to explore the best ways to irrigate your garden and how to preserve the soil moisture you already have. The episode also visits a rain garden, where viewers learn how to retain the water that naturally occurs in the landscape and learn more methods for preserving this valuable resource. In the kitchen, Chef Nathan uses drought tolerant herbs to demonstrate simple ways to add layers of flavor to our meals.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs
Pennington, NJ, Bedford Hills, NY and Ranger, GA. Community Supported Agricultural programs (also known as CSAs) are sweeping the country as a way for consumers to have access to the freshest, local and organically grown produce and more. For those that don't have the time or space to grow their own, it is the perfect partnership between the farmer and consumer. We visit the oldest and largest certified organic CSA programs in New Jersey and Georgia as well as another program in New York that has developed into a sort of an organic buyers club. Viewers learn how CSAs work, how to find one in their area and the benefits of being a part of this "growing" community. Chef Nathan uses farm fresh goat cheese featured in the show to create a decadent cheesecake.
Community Gardens- Growing So Much More Than Plants
Columbus, OH, Seattle, WA and Portland, OR. Having an opportunity to participate in a community garden builds a sense of community like nothing else. It provides opportunities for exercise, education, therapy, relaxation and social interaction, along with preserving green space and conserving resources. By looking at several prime examples of community gardens in action, this episode demonstrates how the benefits of a neighborhood garden can reach far beyond the garden gates, bringing people closer to the earth and closer to each other. Using kale fresh from the garden, Chef Nathan creates a ribollita, also known as a Tuscan vegetable and bread soup.
Green Roofs and Rooftop Gardens - The Sky's The Limit
Chicago, IL and Charlotte, NC. One of the biggest global opportunities we have to positively impact our carbon footprint is to plant "green roofs". Rooftops across America and the planet offer nearly untapped, limitless space to plants perennials, shrubs, even trees that can cool the air in and above our homes and offices, absorb carbon dioxide, return oxygen, reduce runoff, filter pollutants and provide habitats for birds and other wildlife. And if that weren't enough, they also provide a welcomed respite for mind and body. Green roofs are rapidly gaining popularity in commercial and residential design. From an up close and personal tour of the famous rooftop gardens at Chicago's city hall and the Lurie Garden at Millennium Park, to a demonstration of how to implement a smaller homegrown version, we'll explore the beauty, contribution and huge opportunity green roofs offer us all as we look for more great ways to Grow a Greener World. Chef Nathan uses one of the most common roof top vegetables, the tomato, to create something delicious in the GGW kitchen.
Organic Gardening - Creating A Garden Ecosystem
Kutztown, PA. Organic gardening in its simplest form is gardening without the use of synthetic, manmade chemicals, while focusing on building the fertility of the soil. But gardening organically also means to think of your garden as part of a whole ecosystem. Everything from water, soil and insects to wildlife and people play a valuable role in this system. Interviews with Maria and Maya Rodale of the Rodale Institute will shed light on this eco-friendly way of gardening. This episode explores exactly what organic gardening is while guiding the viewers through the benefits and the bottom line. Chef Nathan uses apples to create a spicy fall dish.
Natural Pest Control - Discovering Eco-friendly Solutions to an Old Problem
Allentown, PA. As our society gradually turns to more eco-friendly practices, one solution for pest control has been with us since the beginning of time. Biological control, using natural predators and insects to keeps pests in check, is gaining ground as the eco-friendly method of choice. But beyond the prolific and popular lady beetle, lies a host of not-so-well known insects and products that are surprisingly efficient at keeping pest populations in check. This episode looks at finding and promoting natural predators in the garden and also discusses incorporating natural bacteria and plant derivatives when a bug problem gets out of hand. Nothing beats the taste of fresh picked corn and Chef Nathan shows us how to use that corn to perfection in the kitchen.
Thomas Jefferson & Monticello - A True Organic Gardener in Action
Charlottesville, VA. Thomas Jefferson has made his mark in history for many things. But to gardeners, he holds a special place of honor. As a seed saver, plant propagator, organic gardener, lover of compost and manure, Jefferson's pioneering, organic practices with plants and soil are still in use today. Thanks to his meticulous records and the historic preservation of the grounds, we can step back in time to see how one of the most famous green gardeners in history lived out his passion for gardening at Monticello. We also learn how we can apply many of his "tried and true" gardening methods to our own gardens today. Chef Nathan uses Thomas Jefferson's favorite vegetable, the pea, to create a fantastic pea soup with bacon, creme fraiche and mint.
Victory Gardens
Washington, DC and Chicago, IL. According to guest Rose Haden Smith, an expert on gardening and U.S. History, "The Victory Gardens of World War I and World War II helped Americans weather hard times. They helped the family budget; improved dietary practices; reduced the food mile and saved fuel; beautified communities; and empowered every citizen to contribute to a national effort." The current struggling economy has caused a resurgence of Victory Gardens across America. In this episode, we explore the concept of the Victory Garden and investigate the USDA's new initiative called "The People's Garden" to help communities create their own gardens across America. From Washington, DC to a small urban garden that replaces a front lawn, viewers learn how it is possible to grow a season's worth of vegetables for very little money. Using a common Victory Garden vegetable, Chef Nathan creates a sauteed Swiss chard frittata.
The Best People of Season One
During our first season, we met some of the rock stars of gardening, sustainability, urban farming and environmental stewardship. This episode recaps some of our most memorable visits and well worth a second look! From the Pied Piper of Urban Farming, Will Allen, the founding family of organic gardening, Maria & Maya Rodale and USDA's Secretary of State, Tom Vilsack, we brought our GGW viewers along for the conversations.
The Best Places of Season One
While taping 26 episodes for our first season, we traveled to 18 states and 28 cities. We were granted access to some of the hottest places in horticulture. All visits were special, but these stand out as a few of the best. From Fetzer's Earth Friendly Vineyard, to Berkeley's Edible Schoolyard, the urban farming wonderland - Greens Grow Farms and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, these just scratched the surface on all the great places we took GGW viewers to in season one.
Greenhouses for Year-Round Growing
No matter how big or small, from commercial growing to the simplest homemade version, there's a greenhouse for any budget. They make year round growing a possibility no matter where you live. This episode covers the basics and shows off some great places as examples to inspire viewers that anyone can do it.

The definition of knowledge has always been a contentious issue in knowledge management. Effective knowledge management requires a definition of knowledge that is consistent, useful and true. Whilst most definitions today fulfil the first two criteria, none accurately address all three, including the true, biological nature of knowledge. This is where autopoiesis can help. Autopoiesis was developed to try to answer the question of what makes something living, using a scientific methodology. It proposes living things are discrete, self‑producing entities and constantly cognising entities. Autopoiesis has long inspired definitions of knowledge, with ideas such as: knowledge cannot be transferred, or knowledge can only be created by the potential 'knower'. Using the theory of autopoiesis, it is possible to create a biologically grounded model of knowledge, representing the latest thinking in neuroscience. However, before this new, biologically grounded model of knowledge can be integrated into new or existing knowledge management theories, it needs to be tested, else it falls into the trap of being conceptual, and remaining that way. This paper starts with the autopoietic, and therefore biologically, grounded model of knowledge, and develops the new evaluation framework necessary to test the model. The evaluation methodology developed in this research started from the field of programme evaluation and was adapted to meet the needs of the knowledge management discipline. This paper subsequently presents the initial findings from the evaluation process and takes the first steps to identifying how knowledge management can improve with its newly found scientific grounding.

JAMES D. RAFFERTY and LINDA F. RAFFERTY,
LAND O'LAKES, INC., and TERRY L. DOSSETT,
1. A party's failure to comply with K.S.A. 7-104 does not deprive the court of jurisdiction. The court is prohibited from entertaining any action or proceeding where a party fails or refuses to comply with the statute after notice.
2. Where a party knows or with reasonable diligence could have discovered the violation of K.S.A. 7-104, failure to timely notify the court constitutes a waiver and precludes the party from raising the issue on appeal.
3. In a personal injury action where the defendants failed to comply with K.S.A. 7-104, the record is examined, and it is held the district court did not err in (1) denying plaintiffs' motion to vacate the verdict and judgment; (2) granting defendants' motion for admission pro hac vice; and (3) allowing the defendants' witness to testify concerning his observation at the scene of the accident.
Appeal from Shawnee district court; JAMES M. MACNISH, JR., judge. Opinion filed October 30, 1998. Affirmed.
Kenneth M. Carpenter, of Carpenter, Chartered, of Topeka, argued the cause, and Richard Showalter, of the same firm, was with him on the brief for appellants.
Stephen S. Brown, of Niewald, Waldeck & Brown, of Kansas City, Missouri, argued the cause, and Victoria M. Schroeder, of the same firm, was on the brief for appellees.
The opinion of the court was delivered by
ALLEGRUCCI, J.: This is a personal injury action that arose from an intersection collision between a vehicle driven by James Rafferty and a truck belonging to Land O'Lakes, Inc. (Land O'Lakes). The case was tried to a jury, which attributed 50% fault to James Rafferty. The Raffertys appealed. This appeal was transferred from the Court of Appeals pursuant to K.S.A. 20-3018(c).
On February 3, 1994, at approximately 6 a.m., two vehicles collided at the intersection of 4th and Monroe Streets in Topeka. The intersection is controlled by traffic signals located on the corners and overhead. It was dark at the time of the accident.
One vehicle, a semi-trailer truck, was driven by Terry Dossett for Land O'Lakes. He exited Interstate 70 at the 4th Street exit. He was going to deliver his load of dairy products to a distributor that was located less than a mile away.
The other vehicle was a pickup truck, which was driven by James Rafferty. He was on his way to work at Santa Fe Railroad, which is on Quincy Street. His shift began at 7 a.m.
In a statement given to the police officer at the scene of the accident, Dossett said:
"I had just come off of Interstate 70. I turned left on 4th Street to go west. I was going to Kaw Valley Cheese and Butter. At 4th and Monroe I . . . wasn't paying attention and ran a red light. I hit the pickup crossing in front of me. I was going between 10 and 15 miles per hour. I have no idea how fast the pickup was going."
At trial, Dossett testified that he did not know what color the light was when he entered the intersection of 4th and Monroe. He stopped at the bottom of the exit ramp from Interstate 70, then turned left onto 4th Street, entered the intersection of 4th and Monroe at approximately 15 miles per hour, and collided with Rafferty's truck without ever seeing it. He heard no horn or brakes.
Rafferty testified that the traffic light changed from red to green as he approached the intersection; he "proceeded forward and the next thing [he] knew someone was shaking [him]." He remembered nothing about the collision.
There were two witnesses to the accident. Gary Gorden testified that he was driving behind Rafferty, whose "pickup appeared to have been stopped and then the light had changed and it took off." He estimated Rafferty's speed at 5 to 10 miles per hour and Dossett's speed at "probably forty miles an hour." Leonard Tyler testified that his office was in the building at 4th and Monroe. He was walking toward the intersection at the time of the accident. He saw the semi-trailer truck enter the intersection on a green light. On cross-examination, Raffertys' counsel showed Tyler a photograph of the intersection that had been taken during daylight from where Tyler was walking at the time of the accident. Tyler was asked to observe that the traffic signal had "shields" and "cones" on it. Raffertys' counsel asked, "And you are telling us from your vantage point three feet beyond what's viewed in that photograph that you were able to see that the light was green?" Tyler answered, "Sure; because it reflects, it glows." On redirect examination, he further explained that in the dark he could see the green glow of the traffic signal, even if he would not have been able to tell the color of the light from the same spot during daylight hours.
The Raffertys first argue that the verdict should have been vacated by the district court on the ground that a lawyer not admitted to practice in Kansas represented Land O'Lakes at trial. Interpretation of statutes and rules is a question of law. On appeal, this court's review of a question of law is unlimited. See Gerhardt v. Harris, 261 Kan. 1007, 1010, 934 P.2d 976 (1997); Todd v. Kelly, 251 Kan. 512, 515, 837 P.2d 381 (1992).
The Raffertys' petition was filed in Shawnee County District Court on September 13, 1995. The answer was filed on behalf of Land O'Lakes by a Topeka attorney. A letter contained in the record on appeal shows that by February 1996, plaintiffs' attorney was corresponding about discovery matters with Stephen S. Brown of the Kansas City, Missouri, office of the firm Niewald, Waldeck & Brown. The first filing contained in the record on appeal that bears Brown's signature is an entry of appearance, with the file-stamped date of February 7, 1996. Brown signed the entry of appearance, listing a Kansas City, Missouri, address for the firm and a Missouri Bar number for himself. The filing is co-signed by another member of the firm, Michael Sears, who lists a Kansas Supreme Court registration number. In December 1996, a notice was filed substituting Victoria M. Schroeder for Sears as counsel of record for Land O'Lakes. Schroeder has a Kansas Supreme Court registration number. Examination of the record on appeal reveals a number of filings served and letters exchanged between counsel for the Raffertys and counsel for Land O'Lakes from which Brown's status as an attorney admitted to practice in Missouri and not in Kansas was obvious.
Trial was held in April 1997. On May 8, 1997, counsel for the Raffertys filed a motion to vacate the verdict and judgment on the ground that Stephen Brown, who actively participated in the trial, was not admitted to practice law in Kansas and had "never moved the Court, in writing or orally, for admission for the purposes of this case."
In response, Victoria Schroeder filed a "Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice" for the admission of Stephen S. Brown as the attorney of record for Land O'Lakes. Attached to the motion is the affidavit of Brown, in which he states the following:
"I am a shareholder at Niewald, Waldeck & Brown, P.C., a Missouri Professional Corporation, with its primary office located at 1200 Main, Suite 4100, Kansas City, Missouri 64105 and which is authorized to do business in the State of Kansas with a Kansas business address of 51 Corporate Woods, 9393 W 110th Street, Suite 500, Overland Park, Kansas, 66210."
On July 9, 1997, the district court granted the motion and admitted Brown "to practice before this Court in this particular civil action as long as he has associated himself with members in good standing of the bar of this Court." The district court also denied the Raffertys' motion to vacate the verdict.
K.S.A. 7-104 provides:
"Any regularly admitted practicing attorney in the courts of record of another state or territory, having professional business in the courts or before any board, department, commission or other administrative tribunal or agency, of this state, may, on motion be admitted to practice for the purpose of said business only, in any of said courts, tribunals or agencies, upon taking the oath as aforesaid and upon it being made to appear by a written showing filed therein, that he or she has associated and personally appearing with him or her in the action, hearing or proceeding an attorney who is a resident of and duly and regularly admitted to practice in the courts of record of this state, upon whom service may be had in all matters connected with said action, hearing or proceeding, with the same effect as if personally made on such foreign attorney, within this state, and such foreign attorney shall thereupon be and become subject to the order of, and amenable to disciplinary action by the courts, agencies or tribunals of this state. No such court, agency or tribunal shall entertain any action, matter, hearing or proceeding while the same is begun, carried on or maintained in violation of the provisions of this section, but nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit any party from appearing before any of said courts, tribunals or agencies, in his or her own proper person and on his or her own behalf."
Supreme Court Rule 116 (1997 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 152) provides, in part:
"(a) Any attorney not admitted to the practice of law in Kansas but regularly engaged in the practice of law in another state or territory, and who is in good standing pursuant to the rules of the highest appellate court of such state or territory, who has professional business in the courts or any administrative tribunal or agency of this state, may on motion be admitted to practice law for the purpose of said business only, upon showing that he or she has associated with him or her, an attorney of record in the action, hearing or proceeding, who is a resident of Kansas, regularly engaged in the practice of law in Kansas, and who is in good standing under all of the applicable rules of the Supreme Court of Kansas. The Kansas attorney of record shall be actively engaged in the conduct of the matter or litigation, shall sign all pleadings, documents, and briefs, and shall be present throughout all court or administrative appearances. . . .
. . . .
"(c) No court, agency or tribunal shall entertain any action, matter, hearing or proceeding while the same is begun, carried on or maintained in violation of the provisions of this rule. Nothing in this rule shall be construed to prohibit any party from appearing personally before any of said courts, tribunals or agencies on his or her own behalf."
The Raffertys contend that the verdict and judgment in this matter should be vacated because the district court entertained the action in violation of the statute and the rule. It is their position that Brown's entry of appearance and subsequent unquestioned and unobjected to active representation of Land O'Lakes is not a substitute for a motion requesting that he be admitted to practice law in this state for the purpose of this action. They cite Taylor v. Taylor, 185 Kan. 324, 342 P.2d 190 (1959); Bradley v. Sudler, 172 Kan. 367, 239 P.2d 921 (1952); and Architectural & Engineered Products Co. v. Whitehead, 19 Kan. App. 2d 378, 869 P.2d 766, rev. denied 255 Kan. 1000 (1994) (A & E Products).
A & E Products does not support the Raffertys' argument. The plaintiff in that case, A & E, was represented by Dennis Muller, an attorney licensed in Missouri. Although the pleadings also reflected as attorney of record John McNally, an attorney licensed in Kansas, none of the substantive pleadings in the action had been signed by him. Where McNally's name appeared, Muller had conformed the signature. McNally had not appeared at any of the proceedings before the district court, and Muller had not informed McNally when the pretrial conference was scheduled. Nor had Muller filed a motion to be admitted to practice in Kansas in the A & E Products proceedings. When Whitehead's counsel learned at the pretrial conference of Muller's failure to comply with the pertinent statute and rule, they requested that A & E's petition be stricken and the action be dismissed with prejudice. Denying A & E's attorneys' request for leave to comply with the procedural requirements, the district court struck the pleadings and dismissed the action with prejudice. Citing Thornburg v. McClelland, 186 Kan. 20, 348 P.2d 617 (1960), and K.S.A. 1993 Supp. 60-211 and its antecedents for the principle that litigants should be given notice and opportunity to cure procedural defects, the Court of Appeals reversed.
In Thornburg, the court held that a litigant's failure to comply with the procedural requirements of K.S.A. 7-104 does not deprive the court of jurisdiction. Instead, the statute prohibits a court from entertaining an action "while the same is begun, carried on or maintained in violation of the provisions of this section." The court added that a court has power to strike pleadings or dismiss an action if the litigant, once on notice, failed to take steps to comply. In A & E Products, the Court of Appeals stated: "We read this to mean that, once the party has notice, that party should have an opportunity to comply. Failure to give the party this opportunity to comply constitutes error." 19 Kan. App. 2d at 381. In Thornburg, this court stated its belief "that it would be unfair and unnecessary to construe the statute to have a technical and arbitrary meaning so that the litigants may be injured when the sole purpose of the statute is to regulate the practice of lawyers for the benefit of the public and the courts." 186 Kan. at 23.
In the present case, when the Raffertys' counsel complained after trial that Brown had not asked to be admitted in this state for the purpose of the instant proceedings, Schroeder filed a written "Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice" of Brown. The motion was supported by Brown's affidavit, which furnished all pertinent information about where he was admitted to practice and his good standing. The motion was granted; the defect was cured.
Thornburg marked something of a turning point in this court's interpretation of K.S.A. 7-104. After reciting the factual circumstances, the court stated: "From the above record it would clearly appear that the bar of the state is in doubt as to the construction to be placed upon the language of section 7-104. We feel that the time has arrived when this court should clearly define the meaning of the section." 186 Kan. at 22. The court went on to reject the contention that the statute deprives the court of jurisdiction in the absence of compliance and to construe the statute as authorizing dismissal of an action only "[i]f the party refuses to comply with the order of the court." 186 Kan. at 23. The case of Bradley v. Sudler, 172 Kan. 367, was superseded by the court's interpretation of 7-104 in Thornburg, 186 Kan. at 22. Taylor v. Taylor, 185 Kan. 324, was discussed by the court and distinguished in Thornburg as involving a party who refused to comply with the order of the court, on which ground it also is distinguishable from the present case. Finally, in Thornburg, the court cleared the way for its new interpretation of 7-104 by stating that "[a]ny possible implications contrary to this interpretation of the statute in former cases, if any there be, are hereby disapproved." 186 Kan. at 23.
Land O'Lakes cites Terrell v. Tschirn, 656 So. 2d 1150 (Miss. 1995). In Terrell, facts remarkably similar to those in the present case did not result in stricken pleadings or dismissal of the action. Tschirn's attorney, who was licensed in Louisiana but not in Mississippi, failed to follow the prescribed procedure to appear pro hac vice. Not until after an adverse verdict was returned against him did Terrell move to strike the pleadings and set aside the judgment due to opposing counsel's noncompliance with the Mississippi Supreme Court rule governing foreign attorneys and local counsel. The trial court denied Terrell's motion as untimely. The appellate court affirmed, stating: "Where a party knows or with reasonable diligence may have discovered the Rule 46 violation, the failure to file a motion prior to trial acts as a waiver and procedurally bars him from raising the issue on appeal." 656 So. 2d at 1152. The appellate court likened the situation to one in which a party who knows of grounds for a judge's recusal waited until after an adverse verdict to raise the issue, and stated: "Terrell should not be allowed to take his chances with a jury and then, after he loses, file his motion." 656 So. 2d at 1152. Tschirn's attorney's noncompliance consisted of failing to submit an affidavit and associating as local counsel a person shown on the Mississippi Bar rolls as being ineligible to practice. The Mississippi Supreme Court believed that "[w]ith reasonable diligence Terrell could have come by this information prior to trial." 656 So. 2d at 1152-53.
Anticipating an argument about the timing of their motion, the Raffertys deny that they acquiesced in Brown's violation, deny that there is any "proof or suggestion" that they earlier had knowledge of the violation, and deny that they have a duty to enforce the statutes and rules regarding foreign attorneys. We do not agree. We find the reasonable diligence standard applied by the Mississippi court has merit and, applied to the present case, would bar the Raffertys' complaint. The absence of a formal motion for admission was obvious--if a motion were in writing, plaintiff's counsel would have received a service copy, and if a motion were made orally at the time courtroom proceedings began, which the statute and rule seem to contemplate, plaintiff's counsel would have been present. Moreover, seemingly contrary to plaintiff's counsel's contention, Supreme Court Rule 207 (1997 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 213) creates a duty for each member of the bar of this state to report any inaction which would constitute misconduct of an attorney.
We conclude that the trial court did not err in refusing to set aside the verdict and in granting Brown's motion for admission pro hac vice. We interpret the statute and rule to prohibit the court from entertaining any proceedings where a party fails or refuses to comply with the statute and rule after notice. Here, the Raffertys' failure to bring Brown's noncompliance to the attention of the court in a timely manner constitutes a waiver and precludes them from raising the issue on appeal.
The Raffertys next contend the district court abused its discretion by permitting defense witness Nordtvedt to testify about his observation of the traffic signal at the scene of the accident. Appellate review of the trial court's evidentiary rulings is restricted to considering whether there has been an abuse of judicial discretion. Koser v. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. Co., 261 Kan. 46, 61, 928 P.2d 85 (1996).
Roger Nordtvedt, who has responsibility for certain transportation matters for Land O'Lakes, attended the trial as a corporate representative. He was called as a witness and testified briefly about the cooperative structure of Land O'Lakes, about the company's products, and about the distribution of products and his role in it. He testified that Terry Dossett took a drug test after the accident at issue and passed it. Then, over plaintiffs' counsel's objection, he was permitted to testify that he had visited the scene of the accident the night before he took the stand as a witness, that he had stood on or near the spot where Leonard Tyler and the photographer of Exhibit 49 had been, and that in the dark he could see the glowing color of the activated light around its shield. He noted that Plaintiffs' Exhibit 49 was taken in daylight, and thus differed from what he saw from the same position in the dark. He also stated that he had seen the intersection in daylight, that glowing color of the traffic signals was visible during the daytime, but "absolutely not" as visible as in the dark.
The Raffertys contend that the testimony of Roger Nordtvedt "concerning the traffic lights was incompetent and unfairly surprising" to them. They complain that Nordtvedt had been identified only as a representative of Land O'Lakes so that they could not have anticipated that his testimony would include observations about the accident scene. They contend that they were prevented by "practical difficulties" and "the very real suspicion with which the jurors would greet such testimony" from rebutting Nordtvedt's testimony.
The Raffertys cite Yorita v. Okumoto, 3 Hawaii App. 148, 643 P.2d 820 (1982), and Hagedorn v. Stormont-Vail Regional Med. Center, 238 Kan. 691, 715 P.2d 2 (1986), as analogous authorities. Neither is analogous or helpful here.
What the Raffertys seem to find instructive about Yorita is that Dr. Lundborg, identified as the hospital's designated representative, was not allowed to testify. In contrast, Nordtvedt, identified as Land O'Lakes' representative, was allowed to testify. There is no parallel, however. In fact, the trial judge did not allow Dr. Lundborg to be the hospital's designated representative in court, and, moreover, this matter of his status is immaterial to the appellate court's holding and rationale. Dr. Lundborg's testimony, along with that of two other proposed surrebuttal witnesses, was excluded by the trial judge when the hospital, without the trial court's prior approval, reserved evidence relevant to its defense rather than presenting it in its case in chief. The circumstances in the present case are completely unlike those in Yorita in that the defendant's witness, Nordtvedt, gave testimony that corroborated the testimony of another defense witness, Leonard Tyler, and tended to show that plaintiffs' photographic evidence was not conclusive. Plaintiffs did not attempt to introduce rebuttal evidence.
In Hagedorn, when the plaintiff's expert medical witness was deposed during discovery, his opinions were based on medical records and depositions that he had reviewed. When he arrived in Topeka during the course of the trial, he visited the defendant hospital without identifying himself as connected with the pending case against the hospital. He inspected pertinent areas of the hospital and interrogated nurses about practices and procedures. "Not only was the discovery unauthorized, but the communication between the attorney and the adverse party was in direct violation of the canons of professional ethics." 238 Kan. at 697. Moreover, the expert witness' observations and conversations at the hospital "injected new material as the basis for his opinions," and the defendants did not know what that material might be. 238 Kan. at 696-97. This court concluded that the trial judge "thoughtfully resolved the problem" by permitting the expert witness' deposition, which contained his pre-visit opinions, to be read at trial on behalf of the plaintiff. 238 Kan. at 697. He was not allowed, however, to take the witness stand and testify.
In the present case, there was no unauthorized discovery or ethical violations. Nordtvedt had not been deposed, and there was no issue regarding plaintiffs' expectations for his testimony being supplanted, and, contrary to the Raffertys' protestations, nothing prevented them from presenting rebuttal testimony. The district court did not abuse its discretion in allowing the testimony.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

Electrical Plan Review
When is an Electrical Plan Review required?
All electrical plans for new or altered electrical installations in educational, institutional, health or other personal care facilities classified or defined in WAC 296-46B-900 must be reviewed and approved before the electrical installation or alteration is started.
Plan review is a part of the electrical inspection process; its primary purpose is to determine that loads are calculated per the proper NEC or WAC article or section and that conductors and equipment are adequately sized and rated to the calculated load.
It is L&I's Electrical Plan examiner's responsibility to review plans for electrical installations to verify compliance with the National Electrical Code and Washington State rules and regulations.
For the latest Electrical RCW and WAC rules, please visit our Electrical Laws and Rules page.
Although electrical plans are checked for compliance with many sections of the National Electrical Code, the main focus of L&I's review is the load on the service and feeders of the electrical system(s), and proper design of emergency and standby systems. Our review starts at the branch circuit level and investigates equipment and conductors in the load path back to the service point.
Submitting your electrical plan for review
The Electrical Plan Review Submittal Guide (672 KB PDF) describes the information needed to review your electrical plans and load data. It includes instructions, sample forms, and schedules to demonstrate an acceptable format that can be used to present your supporting documentation. You may use our forms, or you may create your own. These forms are designed to assist you in assembling an accurate presentation so as to demonstrate that your design is in compliance with the appropriate codes. It includes instructions about how to submit your electrical plan for review by Labor & Industries.

Consensus Report
Waste Forms Technology and Performance: Final Report (2011)Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) is responsible for cleaning up radioactive waste and environmental contamination resulting from five decades of nuclear weapons production and testing that are stored at over 100 sites across the United States. A major focus of this program involves the retrieval and processing of stored waste to reduce its volume and incorporate it into suitable waste forms to facilitate safe handling and disposal. Waste forms immobilize radioactive and hazardous constituents of wastes in a stable, solid matrix. This report was produced to assist DOE in making decisions for improving current methods for processing radioactive wastes and for selecting and fabricating waste forms for disposal.
The ultimate goal of DOE-EM is to protect human health; therefore, the report concludes that waste form development and selection decisions are best made in a risk-informed, systems context that considers: how the waste form will be produced; in what disposal environment it will be emplaced; and how the waste form will function with other barriers in the multi-barrier disposal system to protect public health. Because the scheduled cleanup program will not be completed for several decades, there is time for DOE-EM to use the many recent advances in waste form science and technology to guide future waste form selection decisions.
Identifying, developing, and utilizing state-of-the-art science and technology on waste forms will require that DOE: actively engage with governmental, academic, and industrial organizations that are researching, developing, and implementing these technologies; develop and/or expand intellectual capital, both within DOE-EM and in external contractor staff, to identify and transfer this knowledge and technology into the cleanup program; have access to appropriate resources.
