|Hello all
I have purchased my 3rd "older" fan, and am diving into it for a refresh. It is an Emerson 79648-AP-G and am planning on using this daily as an air-mover in my kitchen.
I picked it up cheap on CL. I think the repainting of it by the PO just might be why no one else was interested. Best part was the blades were painted while installed, so the whole thing was covered in green over-spray.
The fan runs just fine with the oscillating mech disconnected. The speed switch was sketchy but speeds did work. I hooked up the oscillator arm, and the fan won't run; obviously grease issue in the oscillator gearing.
I now have the whole thing torn apart save the bearings. I didn't notice any play so I don't thing the bearings are bad, but I want to put the casings in the parts blaster and don't want the bearings in there while that is going on. So, the question is, how do these come out? I don't want to go hammering or pressing in a way that isn't going to work due to the materials involved. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

|your fan is what is referred to as a Government Issue Fan (which is why it is suffixed AP-G the G Refers to Government issue or use) anyways I believe that Series of Emersons (The 77 series) is a single Bearing fan so you only have one bearing to remove, and its in the rear housing.

|As it is a "G" gov't model, it is a two bearing fan. The residential models were single bearing.

|Yeah, I guess I didn't think about that. I kind of forgot that the Government models were beefed up more than the residential models.

|Hello Levi,
On removing those bearings: It's hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the front bearing just needs to be pressed through with a bearing driver of the appropriate size. If the rear bearing is in a blind hole, that creates an additional challenge. If there is a removable plug in back of the bearing, problem solved! If not, screwing a tap into the bearing will remove it but also destroy it. A non destructive method would be to pack grease into the bearing bore and use a good fitting shaft and mallet to hydraulically force the bearing up and out. Be sure the opposite side of the housing is well supported near the bearing bore so you don't crack the housing. Foul language will follow.
The safest way would be not to mess with it! protect the bearings during the cleaning process and do not remove and take a chance of messing up a good bearing or breaking a brittle housing.... Let us know which route you choose. Good Luck! Terry

|Get a high quality duct tape and close off all orifices so the media can't get in. When blasting, direct the stream away from the tape edge and nothing, or very little will get in. It helps to degrease the area so the tape sticks securely. You can also ball up paper and jam it into the holes under the tape as a secondary protection.

|Thanks Terry and Lane. I was leaning towards the leave in and protect them method, and you guys have confirmed that is probably the best approach. Thanks again.

Hi Robb. In my opinion; there is a very small chance of lightly damaging a bearing by blasting. However, there is a relatively large chance of completely destroying the bearings truing to remove and reinstall them.
As everyone said, try not to blast the actual running surfaces. I've blasted many parts without removing the bearings. It seems that automotive rubber vacuum hose caps can be pressed into the bearing shaft bore, thereby preventing any blast media from hitting the bearing. Then, force the next larger size vacuum hose cap OVER the first one, to cover the thrust face of the bearing. You can get these at any DIY parts store in an assortment package of different sizes.
If I were at home today I would demonstrate.
It is important to degrease and dry everything well, so that the dust doesn't stick to anything that is oily. It's hard to get all the dust and leftover media out of hidden areas if there is oil in there.

Those Government Emerson fans are among their best. I've got a 16" I run in the workshop.

That's actually a great tip that never occurred to me. I have used those silicone plugs myself.

They really are amazing. Out of my entire collection I'd say my 16" AP-G has seen the most use. Whether it's winter or summer I run it almost every night, I love that very faint white noise the blades produce on low speed.

Here we have a Waterproof iPad case by Aquapac.
During the over 700 mile kayaking expedition, I carried a Delorme InReach SE which provided satellite tracking and GPS, provided that I had some type of device I could display it on. The device, which I carried, was my iPad Air and of course, that piece of gear, not being water-resistant in the least, needed a dependable waterproof iPad case and that's where Aquapac came in. The Aquapac iPad Case spent a majority of its time getting hit by waves and pelted by rain, as it was strapped to the top of my deck bag and later moved inside to remedy a touch sensitive screen issue (discussed later).
Here are some features of the case –
- Certified to IPX 8 which means it can withstand being submerged to a depth of 30 ft. for up to 30 min
- The Aquaclip is bombproof and because every part of this clip is made of injection-molded plastic, its completely rustproof.
- The Shoulder strap is a very convenient addition to the case and serves a very important secondary use, besides making it easily transportable. While the iPad case spent a fair amount of time on the top of my kayak, it was being secured by some elastic straps on the top of the deck bag and although it was relatively fixed to the bag, I also used the shoulder strap (strapped to a different connection point) to act as a further insurance to secure the case to the deck bag.
- It's also very convenient that one could use the iPad though the Lenzflex optically-clear windows, pending they are relatively dry, which we will talk about in a later point.
- The headphone jack seems like a beneficial addition to the case; however, I never put it to use so I cant comment on its durability.
Now that we've touched on some of the great thing's about the Aquakac iPad Case, lets touch on some of the things one should watch out for.
- First and most importantly, the Lenzflex material ceases to be conductive if it wet (dripping with water) and I learned this the hard way. As I've said before, the iPad case spent a majority of its time on the front of my deck bag, getting hit by surf and rain. When I would attempt to use it, a struggle would ensue as I would frantically drag my fingers across the screen and watch as the iPad reacted in all sorts of crazy ways. The culprit was the salt water, dripping from both my hands and the iPad case. The solution was to move the Auqapac iPad case to a relatively dry location, which was inside the deckbag (with a towel handy). When I wanted to use it, I would first dry my hands with the towel and than remove the iPad case, which was dry and therefore worked correctly.
- Now in regards to the little moisture absorbing packs or Desiccant Sachets as they are called. Yes, they worked well for the first few weeks but as I was extending into a few months, I noticed some light condensation on the inside of the Lenzflex screen. This was not necessarily worrying because I knew it was from the temperature changes as the case moved from the cooler nights to being baked in the sun during the day, and not from salt water sneaking into the case. To address this just buy some extra Desiccant Sachets before going on the expedition.
Overall, this is a stellar piece of gear and one of the best of its kind. Through everything, the case held up and I still use it to this day. When taking into account some of the things that one should watch out for (wet Lenzflex material and Desiccant Sachets) both of these can be easily remedied and are not a result of shoddy workmanship in any way. I would absolutely recommend this piece to gear to a fellow expedition kayaker.

Ferguson calls on teachers to help steer youth away from smoking
HEALTH MINISTER Dr Fenton Ferguson has called on the island's more than 27,000-strong teachers to support the ministry's assault on non-communicable diseases, especially those caused by tobacco use.
He made the appeal while addressing the final day of the Jamaica Teachers' Association's Travel and Wellness Club 2013 Getaway and Health Conference at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort and Spa in Montego Bay yesterday.
The health minister said there was no way he could allow Jamaicans to continue to suffer and die at the hands of those who smoke tobacco in public spaces.
"Just about 70 per cent of preventable deaths between ages 15 and 74 years are attributable to non-communicable diseases. Tobacco smoke has over 7,000 chemicals known to man. Up to 69 of these chemicals are carcinogenic (cancer-causing), and that is found in the smoke that you puff as a smoker and the smoke that you inhale as second-hand smoke," he emphasised.
Ferguson also warned against the dangers of what he described as third-hand smoke, which he said was just as deadly.
"This is the residue that is left after the smoke has cleared. It is deposited on clothes and surfaces and hair, and has 11 carcinogens.'
He said four out of every 10 teens puff their first cigarette between 14 and 19 years.
Speaking to the issue of cigarette being accepted socially as opposed to marijuana, which is illegal, the health minister said he would never in his right mind give permission to have tobacco as a legal substance for Jamaicans to use as a means of recreation.
In the meantime, Ferguson says while a parliamentary committee was assessing several aspects of the tobacco legislation, he would not allow the legislation to be derailed in any way.

IM Your Way To E-Commerce Riches
Page 1 of 1
Abandoned shopping "carts" abound in cyberspace. More often than not, online shoppers aren't shoppers at all -- they're more like catalog browsers who have no inducement to buy beyond the information that's statically presented to them.
Plus, let's face it: Online shopping just isn't that much fun.
What's the magic bullet that e-commerce companies can use to turn virtual tire-kickers into buyers? A new report from research and consulting firm Basex claims that e-tailers can lower shopping-cart abandonment rates by 20% and increase their sales by $20 billion per year by using presence services and instant messaging (IM).
The $20 billion figure comes from the estimated value of merchandise left in those abandoned virtual carts, Basex said in its report, a copy of which was obtained by InstantMessagingPlanet.
According to a report by Datamonitor, 69.4 percent of all potential online transactions in 2001 were abandoned. Some of the most popular reasons that online buyers cited for abandoning their shopping carts were slow processing speed of their purchase orders, concerns over security and high shipping and handling costs.
Of that 69.4 percent, though, 8.1 percent of transactions were lost because retailers failed to offer consumers a method to have queries answered while they were shopping.
Basex, meantime, cited four reasons as to why so many carts are abandoned:
- Lack of surprise: In online shopping, the customer purchases only what is on his or her shopping list
- Lack of interaction: No other shoppers exist for a customer in the online world. The customer can't talk to, get advise from, or pick up non-verbal clues from other people on what to buy
- Clinical shopping experience: With no one to greet or speak with customers, online shopping tends to be a cold experience
- Technological and usability issues: Many sites crash or have confusing layouts, both of which discourage shoppers.
While presence and IM services can't directly address the last point, they can greatly help the first three, Basex said. The report called such services "the next step in the evolution of B2C e-commerce."
The report defines the concept of presence as "the ability to locate and then interact with another person (or multiple people) in real-time." In other words, instant messaging.
E-tailers can incorporate presence/IM to create that brick-and-mortar experience. For example, a user can be browsing an online bookstore's reviews of photography books, when a window pops up showing that a photography expert is browsing the same page and wants to talk to you. Of course, an online shopper would be able to "opt-in" to such a service, Basex said.
Shoppers can be converted to buyers as a result of presence/IM services, the research firm said. This would mostly happen when two or more people are looking at buying the same item, when one customer who has "product experience" advises or mentors a buyer, or when two or more customers buying related items help out each other.
In terms of presence/IM providers, Basex says no clear leader exists in a market the research firm calls a "developing" one. Some of the players, as cited by Basex, include:
- Akonix : Akonix software, which is designed for browser-based community interaction, can be "easily" integrated into any e-commerce setting. Basix cited Akonix as a "prime example of one company that has successfully integrated seamless-presence capabilities into (its) software."
- Fatbubble: Fatbubble allows its users to see what other users on their "buddy list" are currently visiting. Those pages are then listing according to their place in the Open Source Directory (to the best of the directory's ability). This functionality could be ported to the e-commerce environment, Basex said.
- Lotus/IBM: Lotus Sametime is an enterprise-strength presence, messaging and conferencing system. Lotus can easily integrate Sametime into shopping applications, since it has already done it for its knowledge-management and portal services.
The report points out one caveat, though, in implementing presence/IM with an e-commerce Web site. The e-tailer would not have any control over what is said on their Web site, Basex said. Conversations between customers could become subversive, either against the product or the e-tailer. Or a site's competitor could try to steal customers. "But the benefits outweigh the risks; not adding presence to the e-commerce experience is comparable to building a brick-and-mortar store in which the customers cannot talk to each other," Basex said in its report.
So what happens to the e-tailers who don't add presence/IM to their sites? Basex said they'll lose out to companies that implement such services within their e-stores. Any costs of implementing presence, meantime, is "minimal" in comparison to the lost revenue from abandoned carts and lost spontaneous sales, the company also said.
At least e-tailers don't have to worry about their virtual carts dinging up real-life cars.

Introducing Me
Hi, I'm Ren. I've been alive for 14 years now, and I finally have my own "violin". I'm very excited about this, and generally excited by anything else that falls into the "cute" or "cozy" categories. I learned to play recorder when I was twelve from my teacher named Ricson who taught me and my classmate how to play the recorder. I like quilts. But that's probably because I'm always freezing cold. I LOVE Isabel. That's where I live, when I'm lucky enough to be there. I love the town so much, I sometimes feel like I should just roll the windows down in our car (nicknamed the Tuc-son.
Because it's a Tucson) and scream "I LOVE THIS TOWN" loudly out the windows. That wouldn't be weird, right? Every time I try and wink at someone, I mess it up and end up scaring people. My lucky number always has been and always will be 07. It pops up in front of me in the most obvious and undeniable ways, but only when something good is about to happen. I'm a Cancer. I think that means I'm always looking for somethin great. It also means I have a Nutritious-themed birthday party every year.
I love bright colors and things that make reality seem more whimsical than it is. I have a collection of ribbons and headbands, and I love them all the same. I over-think and over-plan and over-organize. I've been like this since I was a baby, before I was gigantically tall and over-talkative. These days, I've been trying to classify my thoughts into two categories: "Things I can change," and "Things I can't. " It seems to help me sort through what to really stress about. But there I go again, over-planning and over-organizing my over-thinking!
I want to write songs about my adventures and misadventures, most of which concern love. Love is a tricky business. But if it wasn't, I wouldn't be so enthralled with it. Lately I've come to a wonderful realization that makes me even more fascinated by it: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love. No one does! There's no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can't plan for it. I can't predict how it'll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful.
And even though there's no way to feel like I'm an expert at it, it's worth writing songs about — more than anything else I've ever experienced in my life. I think it's important that you know that I will never change. But I'll never stay the same either. Must be a Cancer thing. I'm pretty stoked that you read this whole thing. I commend you for that. This was ridiculously long, and you probably have other stuff you could've done in the last 3 minutes. So to you, or anyone else who has spent four minutes on me. Thank you. I love you like I love sparkles and having the last word. And that's real love. -Reynacie Jeddiah

Memorial Plaque dedcated to Olaudah Equiano
About 300 people attended Monday night's dedication in St, Margaret's Church, Westminster Abbey, of a memorial plaque to Olaudah Equiano (c.1745-97), the leading black abolitionist. Equiano had been baptised at the Church in February 1759.
While people waited for the start of the service the Church organist played the 'Trumpet Voluntary' by John Stanley (1712-86) and Handel's Organ Concerto in B flat. In the opening Bidding the Rector Rev Robert Wright quoting from Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights said that in dedicating the memorial, 'we remember all those who are still denied their liberty, and those who work to give the gift of freedom to all people.'
Rev. Dr. Joel Edwards spoke about Equiano's Spirituality and his conversion to committed Christianity after his near death experience in the Arctic. Given the importance of Equiano's autobiographical book 'The Interesting Narrative …' as part of his campaigning around the country, and its inspiration still today, Asher Hoyles read her powerful poem 'The Talking Book' which ends:
'That reading is a political act
I wish someone had've told me that
I wish I had've known of the sacrifices made
So that I could simply sit, turn the page.'
Jennette Arnold, the Chair of the Greater London Authority, read from Ephesians 4: 25-30 about putting away falsehood and speaking the truth. The Church Choir then sang Psalm 9:1-10 to music by John Goss (1800-80). Actor Burt Caesar read the passage from 'The Interesting Narrative…' about Equiano's experience of being put up for auction in a slave sale, and his critique of the policy of splitting up families.
A summary of his life was then recounted by Vincent Carretta, Professor of English at the University of Maryland, whose researches have added so much more to our knowledge and understanding about Equiano.
Before the formal Dedication by Rev Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, everyone sang 'Amazing Grace' the hymn penned by John Newton (1725-1807), the former slave trader turned priest and abolitionist, set to music by the American John Rees (1828-1900). The London Seventh-Day Adventist Male Voice choir sang 'Magnify, Rejoice' by George Frederick Root (1820-95).
There were then prayers including for the abolition of the slave trade and slavery, the activists in the abolition movement, to Equiano, and 'For the Africans whose names we do not know, who risked everything in pursuit of freedom and justice…', and to those 'who endure modern forms of slavery.' The final prayer read by Sentamu was 'for those who work for peace in the word, especially for those who work to redress the legacies of slavery, those committed to the work of healing and reconciliation among individuals and communities; for the eradication of prejudice and discrimination, so that all men, women, and children may be set free to live in security, and with dignity.' A minute's silence was followed by the Lord's Prayer, after which the congregation sang 'Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven'. The music ended with the Adventist Choir singing 'Ye Gates' by Andrew Thomson (1814-1901) arranged by Amzi Clarence Dixon (1854-1925). Afterward people stayed to look at the plaque, take photographs of it, and chat to those they knew. The plaque and the event was organised with the support of the Equiano Society.
Note: In October 1830 Dr Andrew Thomson, of St. George's Edinburgh, the author of 'Ye Gates' spoke to 2,500 people for two and a half hours in the Edinburgh Assembly Rooms arguing why the abolition movement should move from gradual to immediate emancipation. The speech was subsequently published.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson criticized the House's passage of a Democratic plan that aims to shield middle-class taxpayers from the alternative minimum tax this year. He said the plan could result in refunds to taxpayers being delayed. As the value of the dollar continued to be weak, Paulson also repeated that a strong dollar is in the U.S.'s national interest. Speaking to reporters, Paulson also urged the Senate to act on mortgage reform proposals to help homeowners avoid foreclosure and said he expects a Treasury Department-brokered fund aimed at reviving the commercial paper market to be operational by the end of the year.

You can use lots of things when you do arts and crafts. You can put paper goods to use in your projects. Paper towel rolls and also rolls from toilet paper often end up in craft projects. Magazines or newspapers are also good to use. Come up with creativity ideas that you normally would not use with certain throwaway items.
Clean your mosaic. To eliminate a cloudy appearance from a dried mosaic, spray on some glass cleaner, and wipe clean. It may be tough to get the mortar powder out otherwise, and it's never a good thing to have that powder ruining your final project.
When doing arts and crafts with kids, keep in mind that you don't need firm examples of what the projects must look like. You should avoid examples so kids can create things themselves. For instance, they may draw a mouth where a nose ought to go. Their imagination is important.
Arts and crafts are fun for folks of all ages. With kids, consider what they like to do already. If you are out of ideas, ask a friend or check online for something they'll all like.
You can find a lot of supplies online on sites like Etsy. Individuals sell items here. You can even sell your creations on this site once you become able to put together quality original items. No matter what you're looking for, you'll find it here.

Gather together all the materials you need before you start your project in arts and crafts. Having to stop to get things is tedious. Make a supplies list and buy the items.

A Spirograph can be a wonderful tool for teaching children basic pattern skills. They will be able to see the pens move about the patterns and discover the many different shapes and patterns that can be made.
Instead of buying presents, make them. You can use your time all year to make personalized gifts to give during the holidays. A lot of people prefer handmade items over something from a store, and you can save a ton of money, as well.
If you use supplies that are costly, buy them in bulk. Large and popular retail stores often over charge you for an item you can find somewhere else at half the cost. But, buying wholesale means a lot of cost savings for you! You can share extra supplies with friends, sell them or keep them on hand for future projects.
Arts and crafts projects are enjoyed most when you have plenty of time. You should not rush when working on your project. This will help the quality of whatever you are making. You cannot do it justice when you do not take enough time. Make sure you put the time into it and you will have good results.

Be sure you make time for your craft projects. You should not rush your projects. This will help the quality of whatever you are making. If you rush through things, you may just find yourself unhappy with the quality. Therefore, take your time and the results will show that.
Look online for deals. A variety of supplies are available there. Even if your favorite online retailer's selection is limited, other websites have more. You may find that the prices are far better online than in conventional stores.
Have the kids make your pet a crafty food or water dish for the holidays. Start with a ceramic or plastic bowl and use paint pens or permanent markers to apply any designs that wander into your kids' heads. The dish your pet will end up with is sure to be unique.
Build a model car. Models can be fun for boys or girls if you purchase kits for the right age group. The models that snap together are the best for younger kids and the models requiring glue and paint are better for older kids.
Look for deals online. Many arts and crafts supplies are for sale on the Internet. A large selection of materials are available for all your arts and crafts projects. You can buy supplies online cheaper than at a local store.
A lot of craft stores offer craft pamphlets that outline specific projects. When you are in stores, keep your eyes peeled for such pamphlets. Many times they are right at eye level. You'll find the right materials for the job near to the pamphlet too.
Some stores have pamphlets with crafts in them. When browsing the store, look around for ideas. Usually, they can be found at eye level on a hook. All of the supplies you need for the project should be found nearby to the pamphlet.
If your brushes are encrusted with paint, soak them in some baby oil before you wash them. This allows them to be cleaned much easier, and will not harm the bristles allowing them to last longer.
The hobby of arts and crafts is even better when you are able to make practical items for around the house. You may make decor items like picture frames and vases. Once you make enough of something for your home, make more as personalized gifts to those in your life you care about.
Create items you can use around your home. You can make blinds, flower pots, picture frames and cushions, for instance. You can even give these crafts as gifts to people.
You should keep your art supplies nicely organized if you wish to make your project a breeze to work on. You want to get organized to save time. Have materials that are used together closely placed with one another.
Get inspiration for projects from nature. Nature can give you good insight into color. Look at photographs, go on the Internet, or just head outdoors to look for vibrant colors to copy as you work. You will have no trouble coming up with a great idea in no time.
You can create a treasured clock for a new baby. Make a mosaic pattern, leaving round holes at each of the hours. Fit some clear glass onto the holes, and affix the baby photos in their places. Cover these with glass so that the mosaic's surface is even, and then you can put the hands on. The child will now have a keepsake to treasure!
Many people don't sew these days, but there are projects that you can learn from. Choose the fabric that you like and create a simple project out of it. Check patterns online or at the store.
If you're making a craft project, plan ahead for a mess. Paint, glue and other materials can drip. That's the essence of crafting. If you plan beforehand, you won't get upset. When you aren't prepared, the worst will happen.
Think about your projects when organizing what supplies go with what. You need to find ways to save time on organizational tasks. If certain things are always used together, store them close to each other.
Just because something is called arts and crafts doesn't necessarily mean is has to be something from scratch. You can use supplies to embellish an object. You can change and personalize almost anything, like painting a plain box. Find cheap items at thrift stores that you can restore and improve.
Look in your kitchen if you want to find cheap materials for arts and craft projects. Paper plates, old silverware, dried pasta and some basics like paint, glitter and glue can go a long way for great projects. Let the children form the pasta into patterns and shapes, gluing them to the plates, and then putting the finishing touch of paint on them.
If you like doing arts and crafts, carve time out in your schedule to do so. Art projects foster relaxation and funnel your creative energy. Find something you enjoy doing and turn it into a hobby.
Do you want to learn how to knit, but don't know how to start? Many books can teach you about knitting, whether you are a beginner or a pro. There are many things you can learn just by looking for information.
Would you like to learn the art of painting? Community colleges offer many classes that teach beginners the techniques. Many craft stores offer free classes. Sign up for a class to find out the newest techniques for painting freehand.
Many people don't consider cooking a craft; however, you can let your creativity flow in the kitchen. Baking birthday cakes can help everyone see your talent. You may also choose to decorate cupcakes.
Gather all the arts and crafts materials needed for your project before starting. This will make it more likely that you will finish what you started. Make a checklist, or finish your project before stopping.
Plan to make a mess. Paint, glue and other materials can drip. That comes with the territory of crafts. Make life easier on yourself by planning ahead and protecting your surfaces. If you do not plan on the mess, you could easily ruin something you didn't mean to mess up.
You need to think before you hang your crafts. Some materials won't hold up well over time. For example, regular glue breaks down relatively quickly when exposed to the elements. Other projects needs to be kept out of direct sunlight. Think about what you just made before you place it in your home.
With your new know-how at hand, now all you need to do is get started. Take this hobby and have fun with it, exploring every option available to you. That will leave you having a blast in your spare time, all thanks to reading this article.
Purchase paper in big quantities. When doing your arts and crafts endeavors, lots of paper will be required. It's easy to find large packs of paper, even on clearance, at your favorite office store. No matter what you buy, you can use it. You will have plenty of paper that will be useful for any project.

Supreme Court of Idaho
November 1, 2016
STATE OF IDAHO, Plaintiff-Respondent,v.ROBERT DEAN HALL, Defendant-Appellant.
from the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of
the State of Idaho, in and for Ada County. Hon. Michael R.
McLaughlin, District Judge.
judgment of the district court is affirmed.
Pintler, Deputy State Appellate Public Defender, Boise,
argued for Appellant.
A. Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, argued for
This is
an appeal out of Ada County from a judgment of conviction for
the crime of murder in the second degree. The primary issue
on appeal is whether the district court properly instructed
the jury on the issue of self-defense. We hold that the
district court did and affirm the judgment of conviction.
Factual Background.
September 2010, Kandi Hall ("Kandi") was
unemployed, having been fired by the law firm where she had
worked, and she wanted another paralegal job. Emmett Corrigan
("Emmett") was waiting to learn the results of the
bar exam he had taken and wanted to hire a paralegal to work
for him when he began practicing law. They were introduced by
a mutual friend. Kandi and Emmett were immediately attracted
to each other, and within two weeks they began having a
sexual relationship. Emmett passed the bar exam, and he hired
Kandi in November 2010 to work for him in the law office he
had opened. Their torrid sexual relationship continued,
including having sexual intercourse in the law office, until
March 11, 2012, when Kandi's husband, Robert Dean Hall
("Rob"), shot and killed Emmett in the parking lot
of a pharmacy. A jury found Rob guilty of murder in the
second degree. Kandi testified at trial that she always loved
her husband, never intended to leave him, and was committed
to their marriage.
March 11, 2012, Kandi had left work at about 6:00 p.m., and
upon arriving home she had discovered that Rob was in the
garage packing large boxes. He told her that he had had it
with the way she had been so nonresponsive to their
relationship the last few months. As they continued their
discussion, she admitted to having an affair with an attorney
in Oregon, but she later recanted that statement. He left
their house at about 8:45 p.m., and she left shortly
thereafter. As she was backing out of their driveway, she had
a phone conversation with Emmett. She told him she was going
to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription, and he stated that
he would meet her there.
March 11, 2012, Emmett had left work sometime after Kandi
did. When he arrived at home, his wife confronted him about
their marital problems. He responded by becoming angry. At
some point, he had the telephone conversation with Kandi
Hall. He told her he would meet her at the pharmacy parking
lot. He then told his wife that he had to go pick up a
prescription and left.
Kandi had picked up her prescription, she got into
Emmett's pickup. After stopping for gas, he began driving
around. He ultimately parked in a subdivision being
developed, where they had sexual intercourse for the second
time that day. Kandi then received a call from her older
daughter, who wondered where she was. The daughter had seen
Kandi's car in the pharmacy parking lot and had called
Kandi, but Kandi had not answered the call. She had then
called Rob to ask where Kandi was. Kandi told her daughter
that she was just driving around with a female friend.
Emmett was driving back to the pharmacy parking lot, Kandi
received a call from Rob. Emmett grabbed her phone and asked
Rob, "What's up chief?" Kandi described
Emmett's tone of voice as being aggressive. Kandi could
only hear Emmett's side of the conversation. He said to
Rob: "Yeah, we're talking about life. Have you got a
problem with that?" Kandi described Emmett's tone of
voice as being derogatory, derisive, and challenging. Rob
apparently responded, and Emmett said to him, "Yeah,
I'm going to crack your f***ing head." Kandi
described Emmett's tone of voice as being threatening.
Emmett then said, "Just wait there. We'll be right
there." Kandi described Emmett's tone of voice as
being aggressive.
drove into the pharmacy parking lot shortly after 10:00 p.m.
He parked, he and Kandi got out of Emmett's pickup, and
Rob got out of his pickup. Rob had a compact, .380 ACP
caliber pistol with a laser sight. Rob was dressed in sweat
pants and a black, pull-over hoodie with a kangaroo pocket.
Before getting out of his pickup, Rob had removed the pistol
from the holster in which he carried it in the pickup, left
the holster there, and put the pistol in the kangaroo pocket
of his hoodie.
was the only witness to what then occurred. Prior to the
trial, she gave accounts of what had occurred that differed
from her trial testimony. During the final jury instruction
conference, the district court discussed its jury instruction
regarding the use of such pretrial statements. When doing so,
the court stated, "Frankly, in my many years as a judge,
I don't know that I've seen a witness to a case who
has made so many conflicting statements and/or the level of
impeachment." In ruling on Rob's motion for a new
trial, the district court again stated with respect to
Kandi's credibility:
Frankly, any testimony by Ms. Hall, in my 31 years on the
bench I don't think I've seen a witness more
thoroughly discredited in the course of a proceeding. And the
jury had a right to not consider that as evidence, that when
she testified at the trial and said there was a very strong
push, that she turned around, she heard some kind of grunting
noises and then the firearm was discharged. They could have
chosen to completely ignore that.
the central issue on appeal concerns whether the facts
justified a particular instruction on self-defense, and
therefore we will state the facts in a manner most favorable
to Rob, which is Kandi's trial testimony.
testified that after everyone was out of their respective
vehicles, Emmett was standing against his pickup, leaning
backward against it with his arms crossed, and Rob walked
over to where Emmett and Kandi were, but he and Rob were
"pretty far apart." Rob asked, "What's
going on?" and Emmett answered, "She doesn't
want to be with you, Rob." Rob looked at Emmett and
asked, "She wants to be with you?" Emmett then made
statements intended to insult Rob and to incite him to fight,
concluding with, "She doesn't want to be with
you." Rob looked at Kandi and said, "But you want
to be-he has got five kids, Kandi." He then looked at
Emmett and stated, "And your poor wife, she just had a
baby, and she is at home while you're out with my
wife." Emmett then lunged forward and pushed Rob in the
chest with both hands, but not forcefully enough to make him
fall. Kandi stepped between them, told Emmett to get in his
pickup, told Rob they had to leave because their daughter
called, turned around, and was walking toward her car when
she heard scuffling on the ground behind her. She then heard
three gunshots. She turned around and saw Rob standing with
blood running down his face. He had his pistol in his right
hand, and he then collapsed, dropping the pistol. She later
saw Emmett lying on the ground.
Rob had
a grazing bullet wound on the top left side of his head.
According to expert medical testimony, although the bullet
did not penetrate or fracture the skull, it caused a
traumatic brain injury, a moderate concussion. As a result,
he suffered retrograde amnesia and cannot recall what
occurred. He did not testify at the trial, although
statements he made to the police shortly after the incident
were admitted.
had two gunshot wounds, one to the chest and one to the head.
The bullet that hit his chest passed through his sternum at
the level of the fifth rib, through the right ventricle of
his heart, through the middle lobe of his left lung, and
impacted his spinal column at the level of the tenth thoracic
vertebrae. It entered the bone, but did not hit the spinal
cord. However, the force transmitted to the spinal cord by
the bullet impact would have cut off all electrical impulses
below the point of impact, and he would not have been able to
move anything below that point. He would have dropped to the
ground as quickly as gravity could pull him down. From an
abrasion that he suffered on the right side of his forehead,
it appears that he pitched forward when he fell, hitting his
head. This wound was fatal, but not immediately. The bullet
that hit his head entered his skull just inside the hairline
of his upper right forehead, traveled in a slight downward
and leftward direction through the entire right side of his
brain, and ended at the bottom part of his brain on the right
side. It too was a fatal wound, but not immediately. After
being shot, he could have lived for a short period of time.
appeal was initially heard by the Idaho Court of Appeals,
which upheld the judgment of the district court. We then
granted Rob's petition for review. In cases that come
before this Court on a petition for review of a decision of
the Court of Appeals, we do not review the decision of the
Court of Appeals. State v. Suriner, 154 Idaho 81,
83, 294 P.3d 1093, 1095 (2013). We hear the case anew as if
the appeal had initially come directly to this Court.
the District Court Err in Instructing the Jury on Self
The law
relevant to self-defense in a homicide case is set forth in
Idaho Code sections 18-4009 and 18-4010. The applicable
portions of section 18-4009 and section 18-4010 are as
Code section 18-4009:
Homicide is also justifiable when committed by any person in
either of the following cases:
1. When resisting any attempt to murder any person, or to
commit a felony, or to do some great bodily injury upon any
person; or,
2. When committed in defense of . . . person, against one who
manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to
commit a felony . . .; or,
3. When committed in the lawful defense of such person . . .
when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design . . .
to do some great bodily injury, and imminent danger of such
design being accomplished . . .;
Code section 18-4010:
A bare fear of the commission of any of the offenses
mentioned in subdivisions 2 and 3 of the preceding section,
to prevent which homicide may be lawfully committed, is not
sufficient to justify it. But the circumstances must be
sufficient to excite the fears of a reasonable person, and
the party killing must have acted under the influence of such
fears alone.
issue is the failure of the district court to instruct the
jury regarding subsection (1) of Idaho Code section 18-4009.
The reason it is an issue is that Idaho Code section 18-4010
does not apply to that subsection, so there is no requirement
that "the circumstances must be sufficient to excite the
fears of a reasonable person, and the party killing must have
acted under the influence of such fears alone."
October 4, 2012, the defense filed its proposed jury
instructions and a memorandum supporting the proposed
instructions. The proposed jury instructions included an
instruction on justifiable homicide that was based upon
subsections (1), (2), and (3) of Idaho Code section
18-4009.[1] In the accompanying memorandum, the
defense argued that the jury instruction based upon section
18-4009(1) was supported by Kandi's testimony that Emmett
made statements enticing Rob to fight and that he pushed Rob
in the chest with both hands prior to being killed.
defense also argued in the memorandum that an excusable
homicide instruction should be given as defined in Idaho Code
section 18-4012 based upon anticipated evidence showing that
the shooting was accidental. Excusable homicide is one
committed by accident or misfortune under the circumstances
described in the statute.[2]
district court did not instruct the jury regarding
self-defense as set forth in subsection (1) of Idaho Code
section 18-4009. The court's instruction, which was based
upon Idaho Criminal Jury Instruction No. 1517, stated as
A homicide is justifiable if the defendant was acting in
In order to find that the defendant acted in self-defense,
all of the following conditions must be found to have been in
existence at the time of the killing:
1.The defendant must have believed that the defendant was in
imminent danger of death or great bodily harm.
2. In addition to that belief, the defendant must have
believed that the action the defendant took was necessary to
save the defendant from the danger presented.
3.The circumstances must have been such that a reasonable
person, under similar circumstances, would have believed that
the defendant was in imminent danger of death or great bodily
injury and believed that the action taken was necessary.
4.The defendant must have acted only in response to that
danger and not for some other motivation.
5.When there is no longer any reasonable appearance of
danger, the right of self-defense ends.
In deciding upon the reasonableness of the defendant's
beliefs, you should determine what an ordinary and reasonable
person might have concluded from all the facts and
circumstances which the evidence shows existed at that time,
and not with the benefit of hindsight.
The danger must have been present and imminent, or must have
so appeared to a reasonable person under the circumstances. A
bare fear of death or great bodily injury is not sufficient
to justify a homicide. The defendant must have acted under
the influence of fears that only a reasonable person would
have had in a similar position.
contends on appeal that the failure to instruct on
self-defense as set forth in subsection (1) of Idaho Code
section 18-4009 requires that his judgment of conviction be
vacated and that he be granted a new trial.
did not object to the failure to instruct the jury regarding
self-defense as set forth in Idaho Code section
30(b) of the Idaho Rules of Criminal Procedure requires the
trial court to inform counsel of the court's proposed
actions with respect to requested instructions and to give
the parties an opportunity to "make objections outside
the presence of the jury to such instructions or the failure
to give requested instructions." Id. The rule
also states, "No party may assign as error the giving of
or failure to give an instruction unless the party objects
thereto before the jury retires to consider its verdict,
stating distinctly the instruction to which the party objects
and the grounds of the objection."
presentation of evidence began on October 10, 2012, and the
State rested during the afternoon of October 19, 2012. After
the jury was dismissed for the day, the district court held a
conference to discuss its proposed jury instructions. The
court began by stating: "We're just going to go over
proposed jury instructions a little bit. Again, it's not
our final instructions conference. I've given you a clean
copy of the instructions." At the conclusion of this
conference, the court asked both sides if they had any
additional instructions. Defense counsel Mr. Chastain asked
if the court was denying the defense's justifiable
homicide instruction, and the court stated it would take a
look at it. The exchange was as follows:
THE COURT: Now, did the state have any other proposed
instructions other than
[IDJI] 318 as noted earlier by Ms. Lorello?
MS. LORELLO: No, Your Honor.
THE COURT: No additional instructions? Defense?
MR. CHASTAIN: Your Honor, I think we had made a request as to
justifiable or excusable homicide in our request. Is the
court declining to give those?
THE COURT: Well, now, let's take a look at the
instruction on self-defense.
That's Instruction 30: "A homicide is justifiable if
the defendant was acting in self-defense." You're
saying you want the additional instruction on justifiable
MR. CHASTAIN: I believe we requested it. I didn't bring
that with me.
THE COURT: I'll take a look at that. I'll take a look
at that.
parties concluded their presentation of evidence during the
mid-morning of October 23, 2012. After the jury was dismissed
for the day, the district court had another jury instruction
conference. During the conference, the court brought up its
excusable homicide instruction, which was proposed
instruction No. 36. The court read the instruction as
Under the law, homicide is justifiable if any one of the
following circumstances occur: the homicide was committed
while resisting an attempt to do great bodily injury to the
defendant; or the homicide was committed in defending oneself
against one who manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence
or surprise, to commit a felony.
However, the bare fear of such acts is not sufficient unless
the circumstances are sufficient to create such a fear in a
reasonable person if the defendant acted under the influence
of such fears alone.
first paragraph of proposed instruction No. 36 set forth two
circumstances in which a homicide was justifiable. The first
circumstance was if "the homicide was committed while
resisting an attempt to do great bodily injury to the
defendant" (based upon subsection (1) of Idaho Code
section 18-4009), and the second circumstance was if
"the homicide was committed in defending oneself against
one who manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence or
surprise, to commit a felony" (based upon subsection (2)
of Idaho Code section 18-4009). The second paragraph was
based upon Idaho Code section 18-4010, but the instruction
did not limit the application of the second paragraph to the
circumstance that was based upon subsection (2) of Idaho Code
section 18-4009. The second paragraph would have erroneously
applied to circumstances constituting justifiable homicide in
the first paragraph.[3] The court also had a separate self-defense
instruction, which was based upon subsection (3) of Idaho
Code section 18-4009.
it read aloud proposed instruction No. 36, the court noted
that the State had objected that this instruction was
duplicative of the court's self-defense instruction,
which was proposed instruction No. 38. Defense counsel Ms.
Kristal did not make any objection to proposed instruction
No. 36. Instead, she stated that the court also needed to
give an instruction on excusable homicide. She explained the
need for an instruction on excusable homicide as follows:
MS. KRISTAL: Which is also why we think the court needs to
give the excusable homicide because it's clear that Mr.
Hall doesn't know what happened. He only knows that he
was in a fight and he got shot. The wife's boss shot him.
The jury has to decide whether the shooting was accidental.
Was it self-defense or was it, as the state says, that he was
lying in wait and murdered Mr. Corrigan?
We think that all of the evidence the jury has heard permits
all of those instructions. Therefore, we would request that
the judge continue to give excusable and justifiable and a
self-defense instruction.
court responded by explaining why it thought proposed
instruction ...

Stuffed Striped Bass
Kim was craving fish tonight, and I wanted to use up some extra ingredients we had in the kitchen, so I stopped by Central Fish and picked up a whole striped bass. I just threw this together with what I had on-hand, so adjust as desired.
First, I mixed a quick brine using fresh-squeezed orange juice and soy sauce. I laid out banana leaves in a baking pan (to help trap the liquid), bathed the fish, then stuffed it:
- 1 lemon, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 lime, quartered
- 1 orange, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 large white onion, quartered
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 serrano chiles
Pappy's or other seasoning mix, to taste
I sprinkled a little more of the spice mix on the outside, then doused the top side in Tapatio, closed up the banana leaves, and wrapped everything in foil. I heated the grill to about 350° and cooked that for about an hour.
The fish was tasty, but the best part may have been the onions.

International Conference June 27th, 2017
Join this International Conference scheduled on Tuesday 27th June 2017, 08:30, at the Amphitheater Fabre, Victoire Campus in Bordeaux.
Injury to the brain and/or the spinal cord results in long-lasting cognitive, sensory and motor deficits in patients. Traditionally it was believed that these impairments are solely caused by the initial local brain/spinal cord damage.
However, an increasing body of evidence now indicates that in addition to the acute local changes also distant areas of the central nervous system (remote brain injury) connected to the primarily injured area are also critically involved in this process. The longterm change is sustained by chronic neuroinflammation which contributes to neurodegeneration.
The present conference is associated to the annual and kickoff meeting of 2 consortium funded by European community via the Eranet program: CNSaflame and TRAINS.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 19, 2012
With many young adults home for the holiday season and planning parties with old friends to celebrate the end of a college semester, it is more important than ever that retailers be vigilant about checking identification. According to the Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center, the most important action that retailers can take to reduce sales to persons under 21 is to demand identification from young-looking customers consistently and conscientiously. "A key step in avoiding the sale of alcohol to a minor is to check identification. Taking that one step can help ensure the safety of our young people," said Mindy Carroll, Director of Education and Prevention.
Selling or serving alcoholic beverages to a minor is a class "A" misdemeanor which carries the punishment of a fine as high as $4,000 and/or up to a year in jail.
In an effort to prevent violations such as these, the TABC offers free training to help retailers and their employees become responsible sellers and servers of alcoholic beverages. One class is designed specifically for servers, whereas the Manager's Awareness Program is a good refresher for managers and supervisory staff. Educational materials are also available to retailers and paid for by a grant received from the Texas Department of Transportation. These materials are free to retailers and contain information about the importance of checking identification. Also, TABC encourages all retailers and their employees to be Seller/Server Certified through an approved TABC course provider.
Created in 1935, the TABC is the state agency responsible for regulating and supervising all phases of the alcoholic beverage industry in Texas. The duties of the commission include regulating sales, taxation, importation, manufacturing, transporting and advertising of alcoholic beverages. To report a violation of the Alcoholic Beverage Code, call toll free 1-888-THE-TABC (1-888-843-8222).
For more information on TABC or the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, contact Carolyn Beck at (512) 206-3347 or your local TABC office. For more information on educational programs or training offered by TABC, contact Mindy Carroll at 512-206-3420 or email our Education and Prevention Division.

Illnesses that Can Cause Secondary Diabetes
Gallstones, too much alcohol, and imbalances of the growth hormone, and of cortisol, which the body produces to manage stress, are three of the reasons which can cause inflammation of the pancreas, a condition known as pancreatitis.
The symptoms of pancreatitis are: abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back, tenderness, nausea, and fever.
An inflamed pancreas will not produce insulin, and the result is…
… Yes, you guessed it right-diabetes!
Fortunately, this kind of secondary diabetes is reversible, because once your pancreas settles down, and starts insulin production again your glucose metabolism will be ship-shape again.
However, pancreatitis is a serious matter, whether acute or chronic, and needs medical attention.

Updated on 3/2/16 from an article originally published on 5/13/15.
Coffee filters aren't only for those looking for an early morning pick-me-up. In fact, you can find dozens of uses for coffee filters even if you're not a coffee drinker. They're stronger than paper towels, they're lint-free, and you can purchase a large quantity of them for next to nothing.
Coffee filters will replace some of your favorite cleaning and organizing staples in the kitchen, but they might also become part of your regular beauty routine or your go-to material for crafts.
Cleaning and Organizing
Paper Towel Replacement
"Since coffee filters are lint-free, you can swap them out for paper towels to give windows a no-streak shine," suggests Lauren Piro from Good Housekeeping magazine. They're also very absorbent and can be used anywhere paper towels would typically be used.
Glass Cleaner
The lint-free factor makes coffee filters an excellent choice for cleaning eyeglasses or wine glasses without worrying about dust or water spots. Use them to also clean TV screens and computer monitors to keep them dust and lint-free.
Packing Material
If you're moving, coffee filters can help save your dishes. Leah Baking from Networx suggests, "Instead of newspaper, which can get cumbersome and bulky, use coffee filters in between dishes when packing them in a box. They are more or less the same size as a salad plate and are equally as thick as a page of newspaper." This will help absorb shock between each item and keep your kitchenware from clinking together and chipping or breaking.
Splatter Catcher
To keep food from splattering in the microwave, put a coffee filter over the top of the bowl. Coffee filters are safe to use in the microwave. When placed over the top of a bowl or a dish, it catches any splatters so your microwave doesn't become a mess.
Surface Organizer
Small objects such as nails, bolts, beads, pins, and paper clips can be stored in coffee filters. "Pile nails, screws, and fasteners into separate coffee filters while you're working to keep them from rolling off the table," suggests Jennifer Stimpson from This Old House magazine. This is a super cheap way of casually organizing your work area.
In the Kitchen
You can use coffee filters as napkins in a pinch, or at a party as convenient hot dog or taco wrappers. For lightweight snacks – like popcorn – coffee filters can be used as snack bowls that don't require washing afterwards. Another great trick: wrap a sandwich in a coffee filter before putting it in a plastic lunch bag to avoid soggy bread.
Lint Trap
To avoid getting lint in your food, when baking or making a casserole, use a coffee filter to spread oil onto a baking sheet or pan instead of a paper towel.
Rust Repellent
You love to use your cast-iron skillet, but hate the rust that sometimes comes with it? Coffee filters are a great solution. According to Reader's Digest, you can put a coffee filter inside your skillet when it's stored in your kitchen cabinet. The filter will prevent rust by absorbing moisture.
Herb/Tea Diffuser
When making soup, put some herbs into a coffee filter, tie it up, and let it float around in your soup to add flavor. When you're ready to serve the soup, just pull out the filter and throw it away. Another unique coffee filter option is using one for tea.
Colander Helper
For a colander that has holes that are larger than you need, just line the bottom with coffee filters so smaller bits don't fall through.
Ice Cream Catcher
Kids love ice cream, but moms dread the mess. Coffee filters to the rescue! Poke the ice cream stick through the center of two coffee filters, and the drops will fall onto the filters instead of onto your carpet (or your kid's clothes).
Beauty & Fragrance
Makeup Blotter
Coffee filters make great and cheap oil blotters for your face. Cut them up into little squares and keep some in your purse or bag for those sweaty days when you're running around town and need a quick refresh.
Wax On, Hair Off
Cut a plain coffee filter into strips and you have your very own waxing strips. Use the wax as you normally would; the only difference is you're using coffee filters instead of high-priced waxing strips.
Shaving Nicks
It's a regular occurrence; you nick yourself shaving and now there's a little bit of blood. Using toilet paper on the small cut doesn't work well because the toilet paper falls apart and leaves lint behind. Instead, PopSugar recommends you use a small piece of a coffee filter. It's an affordable, durable, lint-free solution.
Fragrance Sachets
Make sachets to keep your bathroom and closets smelling fresh. Take some baking soda or dried herbs like lavender, and put a few tablespoons into a coffee filter. Tie it up, and stash it wherever you need some freshening, such as a medicine cabinet or linen closet.
DIY Air Freshener
It's common knowledge that a box of baking soda can help absorb odors, but that box can be bulky and inconvenient. Instead, put baking soda inside a coffee filter and use a twist-tie or a piece of twine to secure it closed. Store these air freshener packets in your shoes, in your refrigerator, or even in your closet.
Drain Catch
Coffee grounds combined with your favorite conditioner are a great way to condition and exfoliate your hair and scalp. "Not only will it feel great, but the caffeine can help stimulate new hair growth!" Libby Baker exclaims. "Try this treatment once a week for best results." She recommends placing a used coffee filter over your drain to catch the coffee grounds, but this tip works well even if you're not treating your scalp with coffee grounds. A coffee filter will let the water drain, but it will catch excess hair that can often clog your shower drain.
DIY Crafts
Garden Pot Liner
Line your flower pots with coffee filters to prevent dirt from falling through the holes at the bottom. Air will still be able to circulate, and water will still be able to drain, keeping your plants healthy, yet less messy.
Gift Basket Liner
Make your own tissue paper or gift basket paper shreds. Change the filters to a pretty color by dying them in a shallow bowl of water with some food coloring added. After the newly colored filters dry, connect them together with a little clear tape, or cut them up into shredded paper to add to gift bags or baskets.
Paper Flower Decor
Turn your coffee filters into paper flowers. This is a fantastic activity to do with children, or as a way to make inexpensive and unique summertime party decorations for a tabletop. Add a few paper flowers to the top of a gift box instead of your typical ribbons or bows. Dye the filters first for a colorful bouquet. Check out instructions here for making flowers, wreaths, and more.
With a little creativity and a few coffee filters, the possibilities of uses are endless. Whether you're looking to makeover your cleaning and organizing routine, you need some efficient kitchen hacks, or you need some beauty or craft ideas, coffee filters are a great option to consider.

*NEW* LOCATION: Karl Miller Center at PSU, 631 SW Harrison St., Room 465
*NEW* REGISTRATION: Sign up through GoToWebinar
Portland State University students will share the work they presented at the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) 2018:
Regional Strategic Planning Model and Development of a Multimodal Travel Demand Module
Integrated land use and transportation models have evolved along a spectrum with simplistic sketch planning models on one end and sophisticated microsimulation models on the other. While each type of these models has its niche, they are largely unable to balance the flexibility and realism of microsimulation and the speed and interactiveness of simple models. The Regional Strategic Planning Model (RSPM) aims to fill this gap by taking a microsimulation approach but making other simplifications, to model first order long-term outcomes of land use and transportation quickly. In this paper, we introduce the RSPM framework. We discuss our choice of model structures and specifications and then estimate the models utilizing a unique US nationwide dataset combining the 2009 US National Household Travel Survey (NHTS), EPA's Smart Location Database, and the National Transit Database. This comprehensive dataset provides a rich set of variables capturing household social-demographics, multi-modal travel, built environment, and transportation supply.
Exploring the Determinants of Vulnerable Road Users' Crash Severity in State Roads
Pedestrians and bicyclists are the most vulnerable road users and suffer the most severe consequences when crashes take place. An extensive literature is available for crash severity in terms of driver safety, but fewer studies have explored non-motorized users' crash severity. Furthermore, most research efforts have examined pedestrian and bicyclist crash severity in urban areas. This study focuses on state roads (mostly outside major urban areas) and aims to identify contributing risk factors of fatal and severe crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists in state roads. The results seem to suggest that besides improvements in roadway characteristics, additional countermeasures to reduce crash severity for vulnerable users should include educational campaigns, more strict control of alcohol intoxicated drivers, and protection strategies of senior pedestrians.
