THE first question to John Deutch, the Director of Central Intelligence, after he gave a speech on terrorism last week was the one that a lot of people may have been wondering about but were afraid to ask:
''I would hate to sound cruel and that sort of thing, but with all the Kurds being killed and the rough situation in Iraq, I can't help but wonder why we haven't killed Saddam Hussein,'' a member of the audience said. ''It just seems like if we could get him out of the picture, it'd be much easier.''
The audience at Georgetown University laughed. Mr. Deutch patiently explained that assassination was against America's laws. Besides, he said, it isn't something the United States does particularly well.
The answer is as obvious as the question, but it defies common sense. After the Iraqi leader invaded Kuwait six years ago, President Bush called him a ''wacko'' and ''worse than Hitler.'' Defeated militarily by an international coalition, subjected to the toughest economic sanctions in history, denied control of a fourth of his territory by American warplanes, how is it that he is still around to make more trouble?
The answer to that question is less obvious. But it is the same for President Clinton as it was for President Bush. Both Administrations, it seems, would have welcomed Saddam Hussein's departure from the political stage, but only with a long list of conditions:
* As long as Iraq didn't disintegrate in the process.
* As long as America's allies weren't too badly offended or frightened.
* As long as Iran wouldn't step into the breach.
* As long as Americans weren't put at risk.
* As long as the operation didn't cost too much.Continue reading the main story
In other words, if Iraqis themselves could remove Mr. Hussein from the scene neatly, replace him with another strongman, keep the country intact and do it without bothering the neighbors, it would be a good thing. If they couldn't, the United States has had no intention of doing it for them.
So two Administrations have fallen into a course of half-measures: Keep Mr. Hussein isolated with political and economic sanctions, and punish him with limited military force whenever he shows signs of military adventurism. However much from time to time policy makers might wish him gone, they have been paralyzed by what they think the cost would be: another massive war involving American troops; a large-scale, lengthy covert operation, or costly air strikes that would upset nervous allies in the region and might not work anyway.
There was Mr. Hussein again last week, smiling in grainy Iraqi television footage (was this some bad rerun from the 1991 gulf war days?) as he declared victory against the United States and vowed to retaliate against American interests, even as President Clinton was declaring on American television that Iraq had been punished by American military power. There, too, were the national security aides from the Bush Administration again, defending their unfinished war and selectively reinterpreting history in the process.
Thomas Jefferson, Where Are You?
Toppling Mr. Hussein was never part of the war plan, and who's to say anyone else would have been better, said Colin Powell, the wartime chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. ''I have never quite seen a Saddam Thomas Jefferson Hussein standing in the wings, ready to come out and be a democrat,'' he told CNN.
What none of the Bush officials said, of course, was that Mr. Hussein may be in power today because of the American decision to end the 100-hour war before destroying Mr. Hussein's elite Republican Guard. The Bush Administration wanted to avoid the impression that the victorious Americans were eager to slaughter the retreating Iraqis; thus they lost the chance to deprive Mr. Hussein of the force that, now as then, forms the military backbone behind his power.
Fast forward to the Clinton years. The events of last week were an unwelcome reminder that the Clinton team has done no better than the Bush team at reaching (or even defining) its long-term goals in Iraq.
Asked whether the ultimate goal of Washington's attacks was the removal of Mr. Hussein from power, Defense Secretary William Perry said that all of the American responses to him through the years were intended to either ''deter him'' from unacceptable actions or ''punish him'' if he did take those actions. Well then, a questioner asked, if Mr. Hussein's ouster is not the goal, won't the United States have to hit him over and over? Yes, Mr. Perry essentially said.
Mr. Deutch sees it a bit differently: The United States wants Mr. Hussein to go -- if the country does not fall apart.
''We stand for a change in the regime in Iraq that will not only preserve the integrity of the country, but will stop it from being an obvious threat to its neighbors,'' he told his audience at Georgetown.
Even a covert C.I.A. operation to overthrow the Iraqi leader that was authorized by Mr. Clinton this year offers scant evidence of real determination. It seems much too small to do the job.
Although the Kurds in northern Iraq bear the most responsibility for the current dustup, the United States is partly responsible as well.
After setting up Operation Provide Comfort to shield the Kurds from Iraqi retribution in 1991, the United States lost control of the operation by allowing Turkey to take the lead in maintaining it. Turkey, which has problems with its own Kurds, played the two Iraqi Kurdish factions off each other and denied them economic assistance when it suited its needs. American protective flights over Iraq were greatly reduced; America's military presence on the ground decreased. Diplomatically, the United States treated the fighting between the two Kurdish factions as relatively minor.
''Washington conducted an absent-minded policy,'' said Morton I. Abramowitz, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, who was ambassador to Turkey during the gulf war. ''It failed to make dealing with the enormously complex problem of northern Iraq a high enough priority.''
So Saddam Hussein wound up intervening in the Kurdish struggle and reasserting authority in the area. Mr. Clinton responded with missile attacks on Iraq's air defenses, but just what was accomplished?
Mr. Clinton's aides said the purpose of the raids was to send Mr. Hussein a clear message about his behavior. But the message was mixed. Granted, the missile attacks reminded Mr. Hussein that he could not do as he pleased, even in his own country. But by attacking sites in the south rather than in the north, where Iraq's tanks were deployed, the United States left the impression that it wants Mr. Hussein to survive -- just hemmed in more than before.
The fact that the north was not attacked also gives the Iraqi Kurdish factions a green light to continue their fighting -- promising both Iran and Iraq further temptations to interfere. As ominous, last week's events call into question the whole future of the American-led operation to protect the Kurdish enclave.
Finally, the episode exposes the cracks that have been opening in the international coalition formed against Iraq six years ago. The United States has much less room for maneuver than it did when Kuwait was overrun and Saudi Arabia seemed to be the next target.
On the eve of the gulf war in 1991, Mr. Bush wrote in his diary, ''Hope to see the madman is gone.'' The hope survives, but so does Saddam.Continue reading the main story

Michaelangelo's, in the Murray Hill area, is outstanding. The atmosphere is elegant but comfortable, the service is excellent, and the food is some of the very best Italian I've had and can easily hold it's own with what you expect to get in New York or Italy itself. Prices are good for a restaurant of this calibur, or perhaps even a bit of a bargain (I spent $120. on dinner for two, but with just th)ree glasses of wine total).

text: NEW YORK (AP) ¿ GE Energy Financial Services and Plutonic Power Corp. said Tuesday they need more time to decide whether to buy the Dokie Ridge Wind Project, the largest wind farm under construction in British Columbia. The companies said in a joint statement that they've requested an extension of a deadline for reviewing the proposed sale. The previous deadline was Aug. 5. The companies now want the deadline pushed back to Sept. 4. "While significant positive progress continues to be made in addressing key matters, the partners require additional time to complete the remaining due-diligence and required contract negotiations," the companies said in a joint statement. EarthFirst Canada Inc. currently owns the wind farm. Construction is expected this fall and should be completed in late 2010. It is expected to be 144 megawatts in size, but the wind farm could be expanded to a total of 300 megawatts ¿ enough to power 34,000 homes. Plutonic Power spokeswoman Elisha McCallum said the companies haven't settled on a sales price.

State authorities significantly tightened their perimeter around the Republic of Texas encampment late last night, increasing the pressure on the group's leader.
State troopers who had been two miles from the trailer that the leader, Richard L. McLaren, is using as a headquarters, crept to within a quarter mile ''to better assess the terrain in that area,'' said Mike Cox, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety.
In response, Mr. McLaren issued a frantic plea over shortwave radio.
''Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Hostiles are invading the Republic of Texas embassy,'' Mr. McLaren said. ''We have hostiles in the woods. This is a mayday call for any nation in the world.''
''We are being invaded!'' he said.
Troopers heard Republic members issuing shoot-to-kill orders against police over the radio, Mr. Cox said.
In his shortwave plea, Mr. McLaren taunted the authorities.
''I guess you boys didn't learn anything from Waco or Ruby Ridge,'' he said. ''And you fools are going to come here and kill me, huh, and overrun this mission.Continue reading the main story
''Well, be prepared to take the fall,'' he said. ''You're the dead meat.''
Shortly after midnight, past a police roadblock, as a helicopter buzzed overhead, two armored personnel carriers, a bulldozer and a cherry-picker truck rushed onto the scene.
Mr. McLaren's lawyer, Terence O'Rourke, came to the scene early this morning and said the troopers assured him that ''whatever is going to happen, it's not going to happen right away.''
The action occurred later on the day that a Republic member who had been returned from jail to the group's mountain encampment in exchange for two hostages four days ago walked out of the trailer there this morning and surrendered to state law-enforcement officers.
''I had to get out of there -- I couldn't take it anymore,'' the authorities, without elaborating, quoted him as saying.
The man, Robert J. Scheidt, ''captain of the embassy guard'' of the secessionist group, will face unspecified charges of criminal activity.
Not long after Mr. Scheidt, 43, had surrendered, the state lowered its estimate of the number of followers holed up with Mr. McLaren, from a dozen to seven. Officials would not say whether the new estimate was a result of information from Mr. Scheidt or another source.
Whatever the number, a message from Mr. McLaren last night suggested that there would be no further instances of surrender. ''Everyone has chosen to stay and hold the sovereign soil of the Republic and its foreign missions,'' said the message, contained in the ''diplomatic pouch'' that the group periodically throws from its trailer.
Mr. McLaren's note, bearing overtones of the famous plea issued by Col. William Barrett Travis in his defense of the Alamo more than 150 years ago, also said, ''I pray reinforcements arrive before they overrun the embassy.''
As for Mr. Scheidt, his week of detention, release and then surrender began on Sunday morning, when the Jeff Davis County Sheriff, responding to a trespassing report, arrested him several hundred yards down the road from the Republic's ''embassy'' here in the Davis Mountains. Moments after that arrest, three other members of the group swooped down and shot their way into the nearby home of Joe and Margaret Rowe, opponents of the Republic, which claims to represent a nation of Texas and says it is at war with the United States.
The Rowes, taken hostage, were released about 14 hours later, but only after the authorities had driven Mr. Scheidt back to the ''embassy'' and let him go inside, as the group had demanded.
Although striking a bargain with hostage-takers raised eyebrows at the time, state officials defended it as a means of achieving their paramount goal: returning the Rowes to safety. And today they said the move looked all the better in hindsight, because Mr. Scheidt was right back where he started, in custody.
''We now obviously feel better about what our decision was at the time,'' Mr. Cox said.
Late on Thursday, Mr. O'Rourke said the state had made a ''last, final, written offer,'' and he pleaded with his client to surrender.Continue reading the main story

The short version: Hack attempts were made (like they are regularly) but no hack/penetration occurred. No user data was at risk, no security breached. Not quite a false alarm, but it checked out okay.
The long version:
I believe that if/when a hack appear possible take action: immediately (1) shut the server down, quickly (2) communicate with interested parities, then (3) diagnose (4) repair and learn lesson (before bringing the server back up) (5) communicate. I took my time on (3) and (4) and here is (5).
When I believed that a hack might have occurred I took steps (1) and (2) via blog post and tweet.
I remotely viewed the disk (without booting it) and investigated the 3 clues.
#1 Hacked links to www.china101.com
This was the first sign I saw. The front page of WildObs linked to china101.com instead of itself. Not right. I assumed this meant that the hacker had gained write access to the file system. They had NOT.
WildObs uses rails page caching on some pages, one being the index.html front page. I believe some hacker had forged an HTTP request to wildobs.com, sending it to the correct IP address but spoofing the DNS name in the query. The wildobs code (incorrectly) respected "it's host" and write it into pages. Not sure why it wrote absolute links not relative links, but both these two things will be resolved in a future update.
Yes the file was written, yes the hacker managed to alter it's contents, but there even a possibility the hacker never even knew. It was an obscure side effect, that gain the hacker nothing, just gave me one big scare.
#2 Unable to connect to WildObs.com
This is what sealed the deal for me that this was a "hack"; I was locked out of WildObs.com. I assumed, having read this account of a hack, that the hacker was "buying time". This turned out to be nothing but a bad coincident. I used an awesome product called Little Snitch which has one small weakness in that it is (at times) verbose, and can pop-up questions, and can react to unintended keystrokes to store a rule. A stray local rule coincidentally disconnected me from WildObs.com, not a hacker.
#3 Failure in the database
This might have been due to me rebooting the system, but it cleared itself up. I don't like not having a definitive explanation for some clue, but I cannot find a malicious purpose. I took the database down immediately, but when I brought it up again the error was not there. It was some obscure column missing of some obscure valueless table, it cannot have value. I'll keep thinking about this one, but I feel it had to be more bad coincidence.
One small hack-let and a couple of coincidences, plus one over active imagination.
WildObs has always been as secure as I can make it, and very locked down. That said, I've read/researched more, and I've made a few more changes to tighten security further. I will keep vigilant and communicate if I ever suspect a hack.

I have set up SW for the first time and enabled the AD link. When I click Save for the configuration, it says "Active Directory authentication is enabled". However, when users attempt to login using their AD credentials, it says Login Failed. I have tried with several users in the various formats and with verified passwords.
In one posting, I saw that the login page should now ask for something besides "Email" for the username. Mine still says "Email".
I think I am missing something very basic here. Any thoughts?

Hi Noah, then it's very likely that AD authentication is not quite enabled. Have you tried clearing the AD settings and re-entering? Can you send me a PM with your setting detail.
FYI, you can disable Validation for Email in the portal under Settings > Advanced Options > scroll down and click on Looking For Additional settings? Validate Email in Portal > set to "false"
Dec 11, 2008 at 8:20 UTC
Hi Marcelo -
I had cleared and reset the AD auth a few times (each time it said it properly authenticated). That did not help. Do I need to restart the SW server when doing that? I also just tried setting the email validation to false. Also, no luck.
I don't know what a PM is. Also, is there an easy way to send you the settings? That is, are they in a file somewhere that I can send to you? Or is there a way to easily export them?
BTW: The machine that I am trying to login with is NOT on the domain. Does that matter?
Thanks for your help.

1st Post
I'm having the exact same problem, except all my machines *are* on the domain.
With AD Authentication enabled, my understanding is that the users can go to http:/
I was about to announce SW to all employees and ask them to use it for all future helpdesk tickets, but I wanted to test the user portal first. I've tried with two users and they both receive a login page that asks for their email and password.
I've re-entered my exchange server info, received the "enabled" response after clicking "save" and I restarted SW. I also set email portal validation to False, and nothing has changed.
Anything else I can try? If I delete the info in AD Authentication, will users be able to create tickets and just include their email address for notification?
Jan 7, 2009 at 1:10 UTC
I figured it out. I had the portal address wrong.
Users need to go to http:/

Please consider helping to improve Bleach Wiki:
Can you help with one of the many tasks that need doing here? Some of the main ways you can help out are listed here. Thanks!
Wow. It's midnight, and Mangapanda STILL hasn't released 573. I guess it takes a lot of time to render Kenpachi's glorious SS3 hair.
I'm kinda hoping the ability of Kenpachi's Shikai goes along the following lines:
Gerrard: "But it doesn't do anything!"
Hanna: "No — it does nothing."
See y'all in 15 hours because Mangapanda is a bunch of numpties.
Also, Sun, here's your review in advance: Kenpachi was cool as usual, the ability of his Shikai is awesome, Guremi's probably gonna go Vollständig next chapter, etc.
Song to listen to while reading this chapter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKtz5AZieWY
...and wouldn't you know it, this is the first chapter in a long time that I'm not mostly positive about. Let's run through it.
First, Kenpachi is revealed to have blown up the ceiling (okay I'll admit that's pretty cool), jumps down, and talks with Isane about Unohana, during which we learn that Unohana is really dead.
While I love how full-on and brutal the fight between Unohana and Kenpachi was, I fully agree with everyone else that her dying within 5 chapters was a goddamn WASTE of a character. Like, seriously, conditions about the title of "Kenpachi" aside, she could've been a HUGE player in this war - maybe even one of the Special War Powers. But no, apparently she's dead for good. I had been hoping that her death had been figurative - that only her old personality had "died" and she was still around - but nope. Unless Kenpachi is mistaken or Guremi brings her back to life, she's gone, and that's disappointing (and yes, I'm STILL mad about her Bankai, as is pretty much everyone else ever. Even Gandhi was like "wtf Kubo" when he saw that shit).
Onto the rest of the chapter. After Isane expresses relief at knowing Kenpachi has inherited Unohana's title (I think it has something to do with the note), Guremi creates a huge cube out of the ground for his battle with Kenpachi. Makes sense, I'll admit. Then, Guremi blocks Kenpachi's attack and claims his body is as hard as steel...only for Kenpachi to cut through it anyway and claim he can cut through anything Guremi throws at him. Now, this is something I saw being ranted about in the comments prior to updating this review, so allow me to throw in my two cents.
Guremi said his body was as hard as steel, Kenpachi cut through it. That isn't anywhere near ridiculous considering what we've seen him do in the series prior - namely cut through Nnoitra's Hierro, which was apparently as hard as steel, with his eyepatch on...prior to the timeskip. Hence, him cutting through a steel body isn't really that outlandish, so I don't know why everyone's complaining about that. As for Kenpachi claiming he can cut through anything because he's "Kenpachi"...yeah, all I can say is you guys seem to think Kenpachi never boasts or exaggerates anything for some reason. Not gonna defend it if Kenpachi does indeed cut through anything, but as of right now I feel like hating on Kubo without knowing how things could change next week would be overreacting (Byakuya "saving" Rukia, anyone?).
Overall, kind of a meh chapter. It didn't feel like it had enough content, and Unohana being confirmed dead is a hell of a bummer. I do like Kenpachi taking things seriously from the start (maybe due to having killed his one true frenemy) and Guremi getting a last name AND a reveal as the real Sternritter V, but otherwise pretty disappointing.
(also, anyone else getting a continuation vibe from "I AM THE EDGE"? Namely Chapter 525. "Edges"?)

Five hundred years have passed since the devastating demon-led war that tore apart the United States, leaving nothing but scorched and poisoned ruins, and nearly exterminating humankind. Those who escaped the carnage and blight were led to sanctuary by the boy savior known as the Hawk - the gypsy morph. In an idyllic valley, its borders warded by powerful magic against the horrors beyond, humans, Elves, and mutants alike found a place they believed would be their home forever.
But after five centuries, the unimaginable has come to pass: The cocoon of protective magic surrounding the valley has vanished. When Sider Ament, the only surviving descendant of the Knights of the Word, detects unknown predators stalking the valley, he fears the worst. And when Panterra Qu and Prue Liss, expert Trackers from the human village of Glensk Wood, find two of their own gruesomely killed, there can be no doubt: The once safe haven of generations has been laid bare and made vulnerable to whatever still lurks in the wasteland of the outside world.
Together, Ament, the two young Trackers, and a daring Elf princess race to spread word of the encroaching danger - and spearhead plans to defend their ancestral home. But suspicion and hostility among their countrymen threaten to doom their efforts from within - while beyond the breached borders, a ruthless Troll army masses for invasion. And in the thick of it all, the last wielder of the black staff and its awesome magic must find a successor to carry on the fight against the cresting new wave of evil.

"Awesome change of pace"
I have read to every one of terry brooks books, they are all good, however typically follow the same formula.
This book was a wonderful book and changed Terry's standard formula, it adds depth and will reignite your love of Shannara!
Just your everyday nerd cowboy. I like listening while riding pens and checking pastures.
The narrator did a great job keeping the book interesting. I think the story was written for a younger reader. With that being said I am still going to purchase the next book because I want to see what happens next to the characters.
But the book and enjoy a uncomplicated story that is very enjoyable .
"Cliff hanger! A great listen."
I love the whole story line by Terry Brooks. I prefer listening to book because I drive a lot and it helps passing the time.
The story lines in it are intricate and exciting, full of wonder and imagination. The way Terry describes things, makes me visualize it as if it were a movie playing in my head. It's Terry's descriptive and imaginative writing that I love, and his characters.
I don't want to spoil the story....
I almost did. I think it was done in 2 or 3 sittings.
I listened to it while driving up the east coast, and the book ended and hour before I got to my destination, and I didn't have the next book loaded. I roared in the car because it's a cliff hanger, and I have to know what happened next!!!I'm getting the next book ready for my return trip, and I can't wait to get to it.
"Pretty good."
Terry Brooks is pretty formulaic. There's always the helpful elite stranger who helps the lost and helpless main character. There's always dithering and frustration over what needs to be done and how its going to happen. Most characters are willing to do whatever must be done, except the main character, who is always self doubting and under skilled and conflicted.
That said, this book is still interesting and keeps you going. I haven't read or listened to all of his books but this is the first so far that has a cast that is actually kinda capable and less whiney. It's good!
"horrible narrator"
couldn't get through 5 chapters. The female voices sounded rediculous, made it seem cheesy, and nothing like a normal Terry Brooks book.
"Great Read!"
Enough detail and description that you start to understand the characters.
Book starts to describe the races of the four lands and how they interact.
"Terry Brooks has done better"
Didn't end up finishing this one, so it may get better further in, but what I did listen to I found frustrating. I have loved many Terry Brooks novels in the past, so I was a kind of disappointed. Yes, they can be formulaic, but it's a formula I like and usually I enjoy them a lot. The main character in this one I found annoying and hard to buy into as a hero. He seems to spend most of his time suffering from contrived moral dilemmas without actually doing anything to get himself out of them or using his brain at all, ever. There's nothing wrong with the narration, and I wouldn't hesitate to listen to a different book with the same narrator, but it wasn't overwhelming either.
Say something about yourself!
"Great Listen!"
Yes I would recommend this story to a friend, it was an awesome story.
I liked the story line and the details.
The most memorable character in the story for me is Cyder Raymond, known as the gray man.
The story is a little rough at the beginning but has a great, great ending few chapters. I really liked how the story pulled together to show how all of the characters in the story are effected and how their lives are drastically changed by the occurrences that are happening around them.
As a professional crochet and knitwear designer I have a lot of time to sit and listen to books. Makes the work day better!
I listen to a LOT of audiobooks. My profession allows for me to work and listen to audiobooks at the same time. I need a book that is going to keep my attention and entertain me. Usually, I finish a 13 hour book in a day and a half...this one is only 13.5 hours and I am on my fifth day listening to it and I am only 1/2 of the way through. It is so terribly boring!
As for the narration, I actually really enjoy the way Phil Gigante narrates so that was the best part for me.
IMHO:Save your credits and borrow this book from the library.
"great audio"
I havent read the book, i work quite a bit so i like audiobooks to help past the time.
i loved it when they went to the elven city they gave great detail about the plants , flowers you can see them in your mind i just love the details of the story.
I love phil voice i hope any other terry brooks books come out for audio that phil does the characters.

text: Joseph Diamond remains laid on the canvas while Will Neilson celebrates his pinfall victory over Andersen Vegat, as Neilson's music continues to play on, Diamond rolls out of the ring, collapsing on the floor outside. As Neilson's celebration comes to an end, Diamond pulls himself up by the announcers table. By the time Neilson is heading to the back, Diamond has grabbed his Intercontinental Championship, and has a microphone in hand. Once Neilson has disappeared from view, Diamond, now back in the ring, Intercontinental Championship in hand, begins to speak. Joseph Diamond: I know what you all believe you just witnessed. The end of an era. The undefeated streak has, at long last, come to an end. However, I was never pinned. I was never made to submit. In fact, I might as well of not been in this match at all. Will Nielsen may go down as the man who won this match, but it will be Andersen Vega who, in the record books will have yet another loss tied to his name. But my record stays clean, eight in a row. Undefeated for yet another day, another rung on the ladder leading to the top of this industry I might have not won tonight, but I am still Joseph Diamond and I remain UNBEATAB-

Medato Urban Farms- A Case Example
Illustrating the Power of the Agile Canvas for Strategic Planning
To demonstrate the unique power of the Agile Canvas, we have applied the process to a a non-profit called, Medato Urban Farms. Medato's purpose is to provide locally sourced, healthy, and affordable foods for everyone. The organization had been successful providing the following services: nutrition education, organic waste-composting, re-entry and homeless job training, and food distribution from 5 local urban farms. Medato felt it needed new new approaches to growth so they could continue to realize their vision and dream of providing anyone within a community with easy access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food.
Medato's CEO and Strategic Planning Committee decided to use the Agile Canvas as its process for building the strategic plan. They did not want to spend 9 months creating a comprehensive 3-5 year plan, that would become outdated after 6 months and lose its relevance. The Agile Canvas was an inclusive process that brought board members, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders together to write Intentions, identify Questions, and establish Sprints which would help the organization take realistic steps toward its new strategic vision.
Medato's Agile Canvas- The Dashboard Canvas
Medato's Agile Canvas is comprised of a Dashboard and a series of strategic 2Qtr Intentions/Projects. Below are links to a live canvas dashboard, and a project dashboard which illustrates how various leaders, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders established long term Intentions and 2 quarter Intentions. Questions were identified to determine what needed to be decided and researched. Finally, 2 week cycles of work called "Sprints" were established to organize the strategic work around the realistic levels of capacity. This was used by the Core Group to track , monitor, and share progress. Click here to visit Medato's Agile Canvas Dashboard. A video explanation of the Dashboard Canvas is below.
Medato's Agile Canvas- Project Canvas
Each 2 Qtr Intention/Project is then planned using the same process (establish Intentions, then Questions, then Sprints). In this example, you'll see Medato's research and pilot of a Food Truck. Click here to visit Medato's strategic Food Truck Project. A video explanation of the strategic project canvas is below.
Deploying and Communicating the Plan
Now that the plan was in place using the Agile Canvas, support and buy in was needed from staff, the board, stakeholders, and the broader community. The process always results in a high level communication strategy. A visual representation of the plan is also created so that it can be communicated and shared effectively.

Tell a computer "geek" or a tech savvy person that you hate virus protection, and then take a seat and be prepared to be verbally accosted in the vein of how inane and rather dumb you are.
Naturally, the argument for virus protection is one that is sound and makes perfect sense: it protects your computer from being engulfed and destroyed from within.
Internet protection and security, in addition to viruses that find their way on to your computer, is a problem that most every PC owner will run into at one time or another, so combating against it is paramount.
A few reasons why we skip the virus protection: price, laziness, annoyance and the general "this can't happen to me and my computer" feeling about viruses.
Some of the famous comments you'll hear from customers: "I don't visit any web sites that would give me trouble," or "every time I load a virus scanner or software is slows down my computer."

Hubble Sees Starbursts in the Wake of a Fleeting Romance
Between them, these two galaxies make up a galaxy pair called Arp 269. Their interactions have warped them both, turning them from spiral galaxies into irregular ones. NGC 4485 is the smaller galaxy in this pair, which provides a fantastic real-world example for astronomers to compare to their computer models of galactic collisions. The most intense interaction between these two galaxies is all but over; they have made their closest approach and are now separating. The trail of bright stars and knotty orange clumps that we see here extending out from NGC 4485 is all that connects them — a trail that spans some 24 000 light-years.
Many of the stars in this connecting trail could never have existed without the galaxies' fleeting romance. When galaxies interact hydrogen gas is shared between them, triggering intense bursts of star formation. The orange knots of light in this image are examples of such regions, clouded with gas and dust.

Think about the last time you visited the supermarket. Did you just pop-in to grab something? Or go in with a long shopping list? Either way, there's a good chance you came out with something you didn't intend to buy. That beer you like that was on special offer. A chocolate bar from near the till. Of course, supermarkets are deliberately designed to entice you into making impulse purchases.

Earlier in life, our petite power figure Emily Lau was a television writer/producer in California, forever on the prowl for bras that served her 32B chest. She could only find "glorified training bras" or those with "push-up padding that felt like pillows on straps," she said. "Nothing really fit my smaller body type properly. I wanted a bra that gave me shape as well as looked good, especially when I wore wrap dresses and deep V-neck T-shirts. I still wanted to look like my natural self, just with a little more cleavage."
Ninety-nine percent of us would have given up and settled for either uncomfortable or unattractive bras, but not Emily. Somewhere inside her, a wire tripped; she believed she could do better by women like herself. So in May 2007, The Little Bra Company—where "good things do come in small packages"—was born.
"I loved my career, but I had a real passion for lingerie that I'm happy I pursued." As are we.

I am a Seattle native, growing up by Green Lake, and I consider the wider North Seattle area my stomping grounds, and I still enjoy living in this part of the city.
I created this profile when I was a runner, but due to an Achilles injury, I haven't been running much recently, and I am just getting back to walking Green Lake, yoga (at home, I am not very flexible) and some cycling (well, inside on my trainer) and hope to start running soon (can I qualify for the Boston Marathon again, so I can actually go to Boston this time around?) with the goal of losing the weight I have gained while injured and dealing with aging parent issues.
I am very liberal (I supported Bernie Sanders in the primaries, but did vote for Hillary against Trump)
I am bit nerdy, and am a casual gamer, where I play Pathfinder, D&D, and X-Wing, among others - more to come soon

Well, last time i went here in February.And a week ago i found out that User:Sligneris asked me to do sprites for [[Yumihiko Ichiyanagi]].So, for the last 2 days i've been working on it and did new sprites for him.
And, as a bonus i also made GK2 sprites for Regina Berry.
Since i'm back i'll continue to do more GK2 sprites.The only problem is that i am feeling kinda sick so these sprites won't come really soon.

The Folding Anchor 3 lb. features spoon shaped tines and is excellent for small craft such as kayaks, canoe or dinghies. The Folding Anchor 3 lb. is a heavily galvanized, malleable iron anchor that has spoon shaped blades for better purchase in sandy/silty bottoms. The Folding Anchor 3 lb. folds easily for storage. and has a locking collar that keeps the spoon tines in the open or closed position.
|Item #:
|3 lb / 1.36 kg
|Part Number
There's a method for rigging these anchors that makes them reversible (i.e., you can dislodge them if they get hung without capsizing yourself), that entails installing an anchor shackle on the Crown end (the bottom, that's why the hole is there), attaching the anchor line there, and then using a thin zip-tie to attach the line to the anchor's Eye. In this fashion, if the anchor hangs, you yank the line hard enough to break the zip tie, the anchor flips over, and away you go. A heavy split ring or a carabiner will work instead of an anchor shackle, but I found that 1/4" dia. carabiners wouldn't pass through the crown eyelet. I don't see any anchor shackles in the ACK catalog, would be a handy thing to add! My only complaint about the anchor itself is that it might be nice to include a sheet with information about rigging it, like how to tie an anchor knot and how to do the reversible rigging.
These 3# folding grapnel type anchors are somewhat the standard in for kayak fishing. Heavy enough to hold you in current, fold up for storage and not overly heavy for lugging around. That said, I'm not thrilled with this one (or others like them.) The casting tends to be crude and the fit of the flukes and locking ring excessively sloppy. Even when locked open or closed there is allot of play in the flukes. Also, Mine weighed in at 3.4# which is more than I'd like (and advertised). I'd be allot happier if this anchor wasn't so clunky and offered in a 2.5# version. I'll likely replace it with something better once I find/make it but it will have to do for now.
This holds my Perception Pescador nicely in a stiff wind. Rig it so that the anchor line breaks away to a permanent knot on the top where the flukes are and you should almost always be able to retrieve it. The only draw back is the locking piece is practically useless to hold the flukes in place when the anchor is not in use although it does keep the flukes held in the open position well when deployed . A solid 4 stars only because the moving parts have a lot of play, but hey it's an anchor.
Works great, I had a 1.5 lb. anchor and it did not hold in breezy conditions or strong current this 3 pounder does the job and is of good quality.

Chancellor's Task Force Encourages Participation in OCR Visit
To our campus community members:
This week, Syracuse University will host representatives from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) for campus community meetings and individual appointments to discuss Title IX, sexual and relationship violence and sexual harassment issues. This process is part of their protocol when assessing how institutions respond to Title IX complaints — of which they are reviewing about 300, including one at SU.
During their time on campus, the OCR staff will explain the role of the OCR, outline Title IX processes, and provide campus community members with opportunities to discuss how the University responds to sexual and relationship violence. On behalf of the members of Chancellor (Kent) Syverud's Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence, we encourage students, faculty and staff to take part in these meetings. By participating in these sessions, campus community members will support our continued efforts to address sexual and relationship violence.
The community meetings are Tuesday from 2:30 to 4 p.m., and Wednesday from 9:30 to 11 a.m., in Schine Student Center, Room 228B. American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) will be available. Individual appointments are also available with OCR staff on Tuesday from 4:15 to 5:15 p.m., and Wednesday from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., in Schine Student Center, Room 233.
Members of the Sexual and Relationship Violence (SRVR) Team will also be available for students needing support during these meetings. Students impacted by sexual and relationship violence can receive 24/7 confidential support, advocacy, and discussion of reporting options by contacting the SRVR Team at 315.443.4715.
As members of the Chancellor's Task Force on Sexual and Relationship Violence, we see firsthand the dedicated work of students, faculty and staff who respond to, raise awareness of and lead prevention efforts on sexual and relationship violence. We know this work cannot be left to a few. Collectively, we must continue to work together to create an environment free from violence.

Undoubtedly this video will go viral. Deb was going in for a double mastectomy. Her life about to change forever. Does she look scared?
She is scared as anyone would be. So is her team of doctors and nurses. As they should be. And as much as Deb is putting on a show to hide her fear, she's doing much more than that. She's also telling her team "I'm ok. I want you to be ok too". All surgery comes with risk. There is a chance that Deb might not make it alive but instead of letting that tension overshadow the situation, she lead them in a celebration of life. Of course there is a practical reason to do this: A happy team is a successful team. But Deb is telling her team that if she doesn't make it, she wanted the last people she sees to have fond memories of her.
I thought about my own surgery in 2007. My doctor wanted to thread a scope via my groin so he could take a look at my heart. A bunch of nervous looking nurses waited for the surgeon to start. A young nurse was checking my vitals when I began flirting with her. I wasn't trying to pick her up, but I couldn't resist the chance to make someone smile.
So there I was, with my lower half fully exposed, I asked her.
"So, do you come here often?" I think I saw a faint smile. Of course I couldn't be sure with her surgical mask and hair cap covering most of her face.
"What time do you get off work?" I asked her. Still no response.
Tough crowd.
"Its very cold in here".
"Yes we keep it cold to prevent infection". Finally I get a response.
"I'm just saying its very cold in here so I want you to consider the issue of shrinkage."
That broke the ice. Everyone laughed and the room felt 10 degrees warmer.
The surgeon hovered over me and said "We're ready to start. Any questions before we begin?"
"Just one", I replied. "Will I be able to play the piano after surgery?"
"Did you play before?" He asked.
"Then we're good to go".
Today I thank my team who saved my life.

We study the Wigner distribution function (WDF) of an Airy beam. The analytical expression of the WDF of an Airy beam is obtained. Numerical and graphical results of the WDF of an Airy beam provide an intuitive picture to explain the intriguing features of an Airy beam, such as weak diffraction, curved propagation, and self-healing. Our results confirm that these novel properties of an Airy beam are attributed to the continuum of sideways contributions to the field.

Welcome to my site
Hi there, my name's James, I'm 22 years old and I live in Wales. I'm currently studying Computer Science at the University Of South Wales and am working part time as a web designer.
I've been working with websites since I was about 14, I loved it then and I still love it now, I've always had a passion for building things.
With my passion and your vision, I think we could really make your site stand out.
Thanks for taking the time to visit,


text: Not sure if this is in the right spot, but this seems like the best place. Anyway, I have a question about mowing dormant lawns and what your opinions are. I have always just skipped, or found other work to do to make up my time, or whatever happens to work best, and most people never complain. Well, I have had this same customer for 3 years now, and it's turning into a nightmare. This customer has always been very easy to work with, however now they are on my case because I refuse to mow their front lawn because it is 100% dormant. My understanding is that mowing it while it's dormant will exert extra stress on it and make it susceptible to disease, or damage the crowns. In the past I have not mowed their front lawn in these conditions and I have just weed whacked down the bad spots (weeds haha). Anyway I cited or some trusted sources (university horticulture programs) and sent them a waiver today asking her to sign it, so I am off the hook for any damages. They just kind of laughed at me and told me not to "care about their lawn" but to just mow it anyway and told me that they will not sign the contract. Aside from dropping this customer next season any advice in the meantime?

I don't even know where to start with our next interview–the Kal Barteski! I am so very enamored with her and if you are in the lettering world, or perhaps the world in general, you probably already know of her. Kal is a true artist, but also an innovator, motivator and just someone you want to know because her sun shines a little bit brighter than most. She's one of those people, you know the ones that you just want more of. I remember when I was in my postpartum lowest of lows and feeling bereft and lost and all those crazy hormonal things that happen after baby (and severe sleep deprivation). I was given Kal's class as a gift and it took me months before I watched it and oh, how I wish I watched it sooner! It knocked me right back to cloud nine! It was equal parts magic as it was lettering instruction, Kal's love of life and enthusiasm for her work is so freakin' contagious that I watched the class like 6 times in a row to just take it all in. Yes, I am a hardcore fan for life and I am so happy that Kal, an in demand artist and mother to 3 had time to effusively agree with a resounding YES!!! in our inbox to be part of this brush lettering week! We are grateful and can't wait to share…
Where are you located?
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. That's Canada. ;)
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
My name is Kal. I make messy letters. I use a paint brush to create words that are imperfect and in that imperfect mess – there's an authentic human aspect. I use my hands. I believe in contributing positively to the Universe. I have three cute kids, a couple of french bulldogs and a husband I really like. I'm trained as a graphic designer and a painter, but really I'm just drawn to projects and people that make a difference. I'm passionate about wildlife and the Arctic. I've done a TEDx talk, won some awards, met a pile of people that inspired me to do more to leave the world in a better and more beautiful state than I found it.

text: Jewel Beetle Mutant (21) - A jewel beetle monster. It can fly, shoot beams out of its eyes, and emit insects out of its mouth which can take over a person's nervous system. Jewel Beetle Mutant was used by Gorgom to take over Battle Hopper. Jewel Beetle Mutant lured out Kotaro by holding a child over the side of a building so that Battle Hopper would attack Kamen Rider BLACK. This monster sent more of its insects which Kotaro spotted later that night and tried to fight them off which failed when two of the insects infected Battle Hopper. While Kotaro pursued it on the Road Sector, Bilgenia hopped onto the Battle Hopper until it threw him off and Bishium explained that Battle Hopper takes orders from no one now and Battle Hopper rampaged the streets. Kotaro headed over to Iwagami Pass where he battled Jewel Beetle Mutant in order to get Battle Hopper back and prevent a missile from blowing up Mammoth Dam. He cut off Jewel Beetle's wings. Kamen Rider BLACK killed him with the Rider Kick, disarmed the missile, and battled Battle Hopper with the Road Sector to get the insects out of it.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I suffer from anxiety and depression, for which I have been treated for over 8 years. I have been working at a call center for 15 months, and the company has more than 50 employees.
I have already told my employer that I intend to take the FMLA but I have not received any kind of feedback from my employer. In fact, my supervisor has ignored me every time I bring it up. What can I do?
I am a California attorney and cannot give legal advice in your state. My comments are information only, based on federal law and general legal principles. YOUR STATE MAY HAVE ITS OWN LAWS THAT OFFER SIMILAR OR GREATER PROTECTION. If I mention your state's laws, it only means I did a quick Internet search and found something that looked relevant. You MUST check with an attorney licensed in your state to learn your rights.
You can and should communicate with your employer about FMLA and any other legal matter only in writing, keeping copies for yourself at home (not at work . . . things disappear). Employers tend to take written communications more seriously, plus you may need proof of the communications if things do not go properly.
If your communication was directed to your boss, try directing the next communication to human resources; again, do it in writing.
If this doesn't work, the obvious next step is to retain an attorney to assit you in obtaining your legal rights. You are likely to have to pay for this assistance on an hourly basis, but the attorney may be able to negotiate reimbursement from the employer.
You can also file an administrative charge with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Please follow this link for more information: http://www.dol.gov/whd/fmla/
All that said, if your employer is not complying with the law at this early stage, it does not bode well for its willingness to comply with the law and allow you to exercise your legal rights to FMLA leave without negative consequences. Once more, this suggests a need to work with an attorney.
You may also have rights under the ADA if your anxiety and depression meet the definition of "disability" under the ADA, which they probably do if they have been going on for eight years. Under the ADA, a leave of absence may be a reasonable accommodation.
Please look at my Avvo guide on the Family and Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. section 2101 et seq. (FMLA): http://www.avvo.com/pages/show?category_id=6&permalink=family-and-medical-leave-fmla-summary-of-key-provisions.
Please look at my Avvo guide on the ADA: http://www.avvo.com/pages/show?category_id=6&permalink=disability-discrimination-in-employment.
You can find a plaintiffs employment attorney on the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) web site www.nela.org. NELA is the largest and most influential bar association in the country for attorneys representing working people. You can search by location and practice area. Also, NELA has affiliates in every state and many cities which are listed on the NELA site. Not all NELA attorneys are named on the web site or affiliate site. This should not influence your selection; attorneys can choose whether or not to purchase a listing in the national directory, and each affiliate has its own rules for listing.
I hope you can resolve your situation and wish you the best.

Closer to the Ground by Dylan Tomine
Published by Patagonia Books®, an engaging memoir that follows Dylan Tomine and his family through four seasons as they hunt chanterelles, fish for salmon, dig clams and gather at the kitchen table, mouths watering, to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Closer to the Ground is the deeply personal story of a father learning to share his love of nature with his children, not through the indoor lens of words or pictures, but directly, palpably, by exploring the natural world as they forage, cook and eat from the woods and sea. Closer to the Ground captures the beauty and surprise of the world – and the ways it teaches us how to live – with humor, gratitude and a nose for adventure as keen as a child's. It is a book filled with weather, natural history, and many delicious meals. Dylan Tomine, formerly a fly-fishing guide, is now a writer, conservation advocate, blueberry farmer and father, not necessarily in that order. His work has appeared in The Flyfish Journal, the Drake, Golfweek, the New York Times and numerous other publications. He lives with his family on an island in Puget Sound.

PHILADELPHIA – Welcome to the second installment of the PWR. Last weekend was a busy one on the mats for the Quakers as two separate squads were in action. One headed to Las Vegas for the Cliff Keen Invitational while another stayed in the Keystone State for the Nittany Lion Open at Penn State.
The big story of the weekend was Rollie Peterkin capturing the championship at the Cliff Keen Invitational at 125 pounds. Peterkin went 5-0 over the two days of competition to earn Penn's first-ever title at the prestigious event. In the final, he defeated Zachary Sanders of Minnesota, 10-6, for the crown.
A Look Back …
In addition to Peterkin, Penn had two other placewinners in Las Vegas. Cesar Grajales at 149 and Matt Dragon at 157 each placed sixth in tough fields. Grajales won three matches in the championship bracket – including two against EIWA rivals – before falling to top-seeded Darrion Caldwell of N.C. State, 4-1, in the semifinals. Dragon won his first round match before dropping a 5-3 decision to Kurt Kinser of Indiana. Dragon then wrestled all the way back to the consolation semifinals with four wins in a row. In the consolation semis, he lost to Adam Hall of Boise State and couldn't get passed Chase Pami of Cal Poly for fifth place.
Bryan Ortenzio also had a strong showing at 133 pounds. He went 3-2 to up his season record to 12-5.
On Sunday, Penn sent another group of wrestlers to State College for the Nittany Lion Open. Penn placed another three at this difficult tournament, led by Brett McCurdy at 149 pounds. McCurdy finished fifth, winning three championship bracket bouts before falling in the quarterfinals to Navy's Bryce Saddoris, 8-2.McCurdy then added three more wins the consolation bracket for a 6-1 day and a place on the podium.
Gabriel Burak (157) and Tyler Blakely (Hwt.) were the other placewinners for Penn at the Nittany Lion Open, bringing home sixth-place finishes.
A Look Ahead …
Penn is off from team competition until the Quakers welcome four schools to The Palestra for dual matches on Jan. 3 starting at noon. The Red and Blue will take on EIWA foes Franklin & Marshall and East Stroudsburg as well as Delaware State and Gloucester. With four duals in one day, expect to see multiple different lineups as the squad heads into the heart of the dual season.
Most recently, F&M lost a pair of duals in New Jersey on Dec. 6. The Diplomats dropped a 36-3 decision to Rutgers and lost 25-14 to Princeton.
East Stroudsburg is 0-2 in duals on the season and finished 7th out of 10 teams at the PSAC Championships last weekend. Expect Chris Birchler to wrestle Penn's Trey McLean at Heavyweight in a rematch of the East Stroudsburg Open final where McLean won, 15-0.
In addition, Penn is expected to send a few wrestlers to the Midlands Championships in Evanston, Ill. Dec. 29-30. Once the wrestlers entered in the tournament are announced, I will pass that information along to you.

Seven Minutes With … Andrew Coles
Senior Andrew Coles has stepped into the lineup this season and competed well for head coach Rob Eiter. Originally slated to wrestle at 165 pounds, he has bumped up to 174 to replace injured Scott Giffin. He has posted a 6-4 record overall and is 2-3 at 174. Before moving up to 174, he finished second at the East Stroudsburg Open at 165 with a 4-1 record. His first match at 174 was against No. 1 Steve Luke of Michigan. This past week, he competed at the Cliff Keen Invitational where he went 2-2 with one pinfall win over Jason Points of Cal-State Bakersfield in 2:33. I sat down for seven minutes with one of the senior leaders on the team for his thoughts on his wrestling career.
Q. When did you start wrestling?
A. "I started when I was five years old. I can't really remember why I started. My dad started me wrestling and I took it from there. I know he didn't wrestle so I am not sure why he wanted me to, but I am glad he did."
Q. What is your most memorable wrestling experience from before Penn?
A. "When I was little, I always enjoyed taking the big bus trips to tournaments all over the country. It was better than wrestling the same kids from your town or state all the time. And when you are little and get to go on a bus and to a hotel with your family and your friends, there isn't much better than that. I also enjoyed when I was at Blair and we took a trip to Texas for a club tournament. I made it to the finals and was wrestling a 25-year old. It was a good challenge."
Q. What stands out about wrestling at Penn?
A." As a senior, I have been here for a while and have seen people graduate and new people come in. It is great to watch the team form and bond. We really have grown as a group and that is what I will remember. Also, hopefully my most memorable moment is still to come when we win Ivies or EIWAs this season."
Q. If you could wrestle any other weight besides where you are now, what would it be?
A. "When I started in high school I was 103 pound and every year I have moved up. I think I would rather be at 197 or heavyweight. It would be nice to come in and wrestle exactly where you are. Plus it would be great to be like Trey and eat whatever you want all the time."
Q. Who has been your toughest opponent at Penn?
A. "Well Steve Luke was pretty tough … But when I was a freshman, I wrestled against Lehigh and Troy Letters who was a returning national champion. I wasn't expected to win, but I wrestled tough kept it close. Matches like that when you have nothing to lose are fun. You can give it your all and don't have to worry about anything."
Q. If you could wrestle anyone from the past or who is a current wrestler to wrestle, who would it be?
A. "It is always nice to go out and wrestle against guys who have great records and give you a chance to prove yourself. I have wrestled NCAA champions, but it would be fun to wrestle Cael Sanderson who wrestled at Iowa State. He is considered the best the sport has ever seen and it would be interesting to see how I would fare against him."
What I Learned About Wrestling This Week …
Late in his match with Jarrod Garnett in the semifinals of the Cliff Keen Invitational, Rollie Peterkin found himself elevated off the mat horizontally with two hands on Garnett's left wrist and his legs locked around Garnett's right arm/wrist after Garnett attempted to rise to his feet from bottom position. Peterkin then brought the far (left) wrist back through Garnett's own legs, locking in a ball and chain. Peterkin then rocked back, pulling Garnett down onto his back into a nearfall situation. Three backpoints later, Peterkin had locked up the 12-5 decision and a spot in the final, which he would go on to win 10-6 over Minnesota's Zach Sanders.
I was quite impressed by Peterkin's control from what appeared to this non-informed observer to be a precarious position so I went to coach Eiter and asked him what that move was. Eiter informed me that it was called a "Churella". Basically, it is an addition to the ball and chain where the wrestler then pulls back to score the nearfall points. It gets its name from the Churella family of wrestlers who have competed for Michigan over the years. Ironically, the Cliff Keen tournament that Peterkin executed the move at is run by Mark Churella. I am sure he was impressed to see his namesake move executed in such an important part of the match.
Quoting Coach Eiter …
Coach Eiter looks ahead to the winter break as the wrestlers take exams and prepare for the heart of the schedule.
"Our goal is to keep our conditioning up and recover from some bumps and bruises. We don't want to take a step back at all. This is a good chance to maintain and get some individual work in. The focus is to come back ready to go in January as we head towards the rest of the season."
The PWR will not run next week as the team is off for winter break. It will return the week of the 29th with a look at the Midlands Championships and the Penn Duals.

What can I do if my employer refuses to make a written notice of my injury for workers compensation in Florida?
While workers compensation insurance is in place to protect workers and their employers in the event of injury, some employers are lax about filing claims on behalf of their employees. When this is the case, an employee might see a delay in lost wage payments and even the ability to obtain medical coverage. Florida has made provisions for injured employees whose employers refuse to file for workers compensation on their behalf. In this case, filing workers compensation Florida claims will fall into the hands of the employee or the employee's legal representative.
Florida law gives employers seven days from the date of the injury to file a Form DWC-1, or first report of injury form. If an employer does not do this, the employee can contact the carrier if the company is known. If not, the employee can contact the state's Bureau of Compliance to determine the carrier the employer uses. At this point, the employee can report his or her injury directly to the insurance company in question. An employee should also be certain to report the work-related injury to the employer immediately.
Contact a lawyer immediately if there are problems filing workers compensation Florida claims. A Florida workers compensation attorney will be able to help you be certain a claim is properly filed and that coverage commences as it should. When an employer won't file the paperwork, a lawyer can take measures to ensure you receive the coverage you are entitled to. It is imperative to contact a reputable lawyer when an employer refuses to act in good faith following a work-related accident or injury.

Devils Coach Pat Burns will not work the room as a stand-up comedian any time soon, but he was more sour and blunt than usual today.
He said he thought the Devils' 3-0 victory over Tampa Bay in Game 1 Thursday night was closer than it should have been.
The Devils followed with a brief practice that Burns said was uninspired and disorganized as they prepared for Game 2 Saturday at home.
''Our attitude has to be better than it was today in practice, or we'll be looking down the pipe,'' Burns said.
It is hard to imagine what Burns would have grumbled had the Devils lost. But his players, while conceding that Burns wanted them to avoid a letdown, later agreed with him, saying they were capable of playing better, especially on offense.Continue reading the main story
The Devils have allowed eight goals in six playoff games, and goaltender Martin Brodeur has recorded three shutouts. But the Devils, who have scored 16 goals, say they need heartier forechecking to counter a Lightning attack they know is coming in Game 2.
''I think both teams know the goals are going to be hard to come by,'' defenseman Ken Daneyko said. ''You've always got to raise your level each night, because you know they're going to raise their level.''
The Lightning, whose players said they showed the Devils too much respect, took only 15 shots Thursday and surprised Brodeur with their unwillingness, or inability, to put him in a position to make a puck-handling mistake.
''I didn't find it boring too much,'' Brodeur said. ''It was like a chess match.''
He still could not figure out today which team was responsible for Tampa Bay's lack of offensive punch. He did say the Lightning looked tentative, but that might have been because the Devils stuck to their familiar style.
''We stayed patient,'' Brodeur said. ''There are not too many teams in the first game of a series that are content to play a 0-0 game.''
Although they outshot the Lightning, 32-15, the Devils did not score until 7 minutes 41 seconds into the third period, when Jamie Langenbrunner's 50-foot shot deflected off the stick of Lightning defenseman Pavel Kubina.
''If a lucky bounce goes the other way, it's the same scenario against us,'' Daneyko said.
The Devils' lack of a finishing touch caused Burns to change his line combinations during Game 1. Although they seemed to click, Burns reserved the right to change them again if they stopped working. He also wants the Devils to put themselves in better position for rebounds.
''My stick's not long enough from the bench, so they'll have to follow their shots more,'' Burns said.
The Devils need to push the pace, because they know the Lightning will be eager to atone for its flat effort.
''I expect them to do a little more dumping and chasing tomorrow afternoon,'' defenseman Scott Stevens said.
Langenbrunner and John Madden, the checking-line center, have combined for nine playoff goals, but the rest of the team has only seven.
No one other than Langenbrunner (six) and Madden (three) has more than a goal.
''I think we played pretty well defensively last night, but I think we can get more going in their end,'' said center Joe Nieuwendyk, who has a goal and two assists. ''Pat is looking for -- we're all looking for -- other ways to get goals in the net.''
On defense, the Devils will be in even better shape than they were Thursday. Brian Rafalski, who was a late scratch because of the flu, practiced today and said he expected to have plenty of ice time Saturday.
''The good news on our part is that we have a handful of guys who can do better,'' Burns said.
He then began to lecture about how the Devils had won only one game of a four-of-seven-game series. A lot can go wrong, he said, and the Devils would hate to give up their home-ice advantage Saturday with a loss.
''The message is quite clear,'' Nieuwendyk said. ''They're going to come in here and throw everything at us tomorrow.''Continue reading the main story
