129. HSE undertakes a number of activities that:
130. HSE manages delivery of these functions in a way that supports delivery of the Strategy and targets.
131. HSE's 'enabling' activities include providing:
132. To fulfil the responsibilities under the HSWA and to ministers, HSE will:
133. HSE's infrastructure and corporate services include providing:
134. There are certain other areas where HSE has similar responsibilities:
135. In the past, HSE's legislative work has tended to be reactive. In some cases, particularly business originating in Europe, this is unavoidable. However, legislative work, like all policy work, needs to be driven by HSC's Strategy as much as possible.
136. In order to release maximum resources to Strategic Programme activity we will be limiting our work in these areas; prioritising so that resources can be deployed to achieve maximum impact on outcomes and targets.
137. The HSC is currently reviewing the legislative work plan for 2004/05, in light of the new priorities highlighted by the Strategy. A legislative timetable [140kb] will be published following completion of the review in July.
138. Further details are available in directorate operating plans on the HSE website http://www.hse.gov.uk/
139. Two of HSE's most important areas of enabling work are communications and stakeholder engagement, and science and technology.
140. Communication is a key theme of the new HSC Strategy. We want it to stand alongside our more traditional activities such as inspection and law enforcement as one of HSE's key interventions in delivering the Strategy and our targets.
141. Effective communication will mean that HSE acts as a champion for sensible health and safety. This involves:
142. We have produced a new communications strategy, which will set an effective communication infrastructure in place and align our communication activities to delivering HSC's Strategy and the targets. We have six communications objectives:
143. To increase the impact of the resource we allocate to communication, we shall concentrate effort on three key audiences in 2004/05:
144. Commissioners and senior HSE managers will take a more consistent and active role in communicating messages to, and receiving feedback from our key stakeholders.
145. We will improve our internal briefing systems and introduce new channels for talking and listening to our staff. It is essential we develop and maintain a well informed and motivated workforce in HSE who will not only deliver our activities but also will be the first source of information on the impact of our activities.
146. A media relations review at the end of 2003 showed positive liaison with the trade press, but scope for increasing our impact with national media. Our plan is to increase our proactive work and to give our communications a more consistent look and feel.
147. We are also working to improve our capacity to engage priority stakeholders, starting by improving our knowledge about them and their attitudes, and building better relations with MPs and those with a political interest in health and safety.
148. High quality science makes an essential contribution to all areas of HSC/E's work. From formulating regulatory decisions regarding people's health and safety, to evaluating how effectively HSC/E is delivering the Government's PSA targets.
149. We are developing a new HSC/E science and innovation (S&I) strategy, setting out how HSE will apply S&I resources to help deliver HSC's Strategy. We will post this on the HSE website for comment during the summer and expect to publish by autumn 2004.
150. For further information see http://www.hse.gov.uk/research
151. Over the last year, we have redesigned HSE's S&I web pages to deliver information in a more accessible format and provide an opportunity for user feedback. We will start publishing a web-based newsletter, HSE Science Outlook, to increase awareness of HSE's wider science and technology activities by autumn 2004.
152. The Government's Chief Scientific Adviser is reviewing departments' science and research activities, with the stated aim of maintaining the quality and use of science across Government. The review of HSE science is due to start in June 2004 and last about ten months.
153. The review will cover all aspects of HSE's scientific activities; from horizon scanning to identifying future science-related issues, to the use, maintenance and development of scientific expertise. HSE welcomes this review and the opportunity to learn how our existing arrangements can be improved.
154. HSE's total research and technical support budget for 2004/5 is £39m (provisionally). This combines both scientific research and technical support for operational work (such as incident investigations and expert evidence in prosecutions).
155. The total research and technical support budget does not include HSE's nuclear research and support budget, (which amounts to about £2m and is paid for through a levy on industry) or a further £6m funding which has been allocated to cover the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) transition to new facilities at Buxton.
156. To secure access to expertise beyond the core capabilities of the Health and Safety Laboratory, HSE has established a Framework Technical Support Agreement with five external contractors.
157. The expected research and support spend across the Strategic Programmes and HSE's other activities are set out below. 'Core' Communications is work to support the Communications Directorate and deliver the 'Communicating the Vision' strategic theme.
158. 'Core' Proactive is enabling and underpinning work to ensure HSE's effectiveness, and cuts across the Strategic Programmes, e.g. evaluation, epidemiology and statistics, horizon scanning, crosscutting research and methodology/standards.
159. 'Core' Mandatory is work that HSE must do statutorily or because of policy commitments, e.g. support to investigation, enforcement and approvals work. HSE investigates a diverse range of incidents, in all of the industry sectors for which we are responsible, to determine what went wrong and to propose measures to avoid any recurrence.

Just thought I'd put it up here, for anybody who is looking to get into college or knows anxious collegers-to-be 🙂
A friend's sister created this site, and me thinks it should make life a lot easier for students looking for any sort of info regarding college (and this means including of listings of who is selling second hand books in which college, which city etcetera. Oh, and carpools! There is car pool info as well! :D)
I don't think anything like this exists as of now…so best of luck to the creators 🙂

What better way is there to wrap up the summer than a VBS sing-along? Well, that's exactly what my local Chick-fil-A did! The restaurant was even decorated with Big Apple Adventure and VBS decorations!
Kids and families from area churches and backyard Bible clubs packed out the place… many staying a couple of hours to share stories, make new friends, and of course sing ALL of their favorite VBS songs with the one and only, Jeff Slaughter.
That's right, Jeff was there, too. Even the cows joined in the fun! Don't believe me? Just take a look at this video… it'll make you smile!

In the October 6, 2008, issue of the magazine, Raffi Khatchadourian writes about the covert war on illegal logging, and discusses how a tree from halfway around the world becomes a toilet seat at your local Wal-Mart.
I'm interested in the statement that "everything we use that is derived from wood is undervalued," and that the black-market supply reinforces the misconception that wood is cheap and the supply inexhaustible. Regulation, international treaties, and shareholder activism have been identified as solutions, but are there other ways to achieve proper valuation of natural resources such as forests?
Jason Sohigian
Deputy Director, Armenia Tree Project
Watertown, Mass.
While I was reporting this piece, I spoke with Patrick Alley, one of the founders of Global Witness, a nonprofit group that grew out of the Environmental Investigation Agency. In the 1990s, Global Witness conducted a number of investigations into the trade of "blood diamonds." Imagine, Alley says, if Mercedes-Benz were to tell its customers that there was a fifty per cent chance that the parts used to make its cars were stolen, but the company did not know which parts those were. The announcement would probably generate public outrage; governments would crack down on the company, and Mercedes would be forced to investigate its production to determine where its car components came from. Perhaps, after separating the stolen parts from the legitimate ones, the company would have fewer cars to sell, and the price of those cars would go up. Many customers would accept the price increase because they do not want to drive cars that might have stolen parts.
"But timber is viewed differently," Alley argues, and he is right. There are two ways in which the value of wood can change: by adjusting supply or changing demand. Some countries, such as Brazil, have recently taken steps to combat illegal logging. This is difficult work, but conceptually it is not very complicated: bring law and order to a sector of the economy that is not operating within the government's control. If the effort succeeds, Brazil will probably export less timber.
Altering demand is more difficult in that it requires a deeper change in thinking. Some companies in the West are beginning to certify their wood as legal and sustainable—at considerable cost—and are trying to tell consumers that they have done so. Moreover, as I mention in the piece, this year the United States passed a law banning any illegal wood imports.
This is not a question, but a suggestion: please write a profile of Doug Peacock, the author of "Grizzly Years," "Walking It Off," and "The Essential Grizzly." The man is a living legend—in some ways a spiritual brother to the late Timothy Treadwell, but very much his own man.
Andrew Saltarelli
Stevensillve, Mont.
Thanks for the tip. Your suggestion raises an interesting point. There are many individuals out there doing interesting things, and often they aren't well known for their accomplishments. I learned very quickly while working on "The Stolen Forests" that this is true on the subject of illegal logging, just as it is in other fields. In my piece, I told the story of one environmentalist, Alexander von Bismarck, but a number of people—some working in government, others as activists—are doing work that is just as valuable. Josh Newell, a professor at the University of Southern California, has done some extensive undercover fieldwork in the world of black-market timber, particularly between Russia and China, and has argued that academics should attempt to study the mechanics of timber "trade flows"—for instance, charting the progression of wood from the forest floor to store shelves—much in the way scientists study the Gulf Stream or oceanic currents.
Each time I use a Safeway China-made toothpick I'm baffled by the thought that their production and shipping costs are less than similar U.S.-made products. Are there quite a few small-ticket wood products made there as well?
Don Lief
Portland, Ore.
China imports a tremendous amount of wood from countries that have problems with illegal logging. I can't say whether your toothpicks are made from illegally harvested timber, but it is true that sometimes very rare species of trees can end up in cheap items. In my story, I note how an endangered Indonesian species of tree called ramin was, for many years, used to make dowels and two-dollar pool cues.
Did you find it difficult to gain access to the places you visited?
Harry Hohnen
Fremantle, Australia
For this story, I travelled to the Russian Far East, and in the final scene of the piece I describe a Russian law-enforcement officer chasing a logger through a remote forest. As is often the case in such situations, one has to rely upon the help and insights of locals who know the way.

This is the Rough Cut version of the printed book.
DevOps promises to accelerate the release of new software features and improve monitoring after systems are placed into operation. However, DevOps has crucial implications for system design and architecture that most previous books ignore. In DevOps: A Software Architect's Perspective, three world-class software architects address these issues head-on, helping organizations deploy DevOps more efficiently, avoid common problems, and drive more value.
The authors begin by reviewing DevOps' impact on every phase of the development cycle, including build, test, deployment, and post-deployment monitoring and observation. For each phase, they systematically identify issues, tools, team practices, and key tradeoffs associated with preparing for DevOps and using it effectively.
Next, they turn to cross-cutting concerns that transcend a single function, offering practical insights into compliance, cloud environments, human and process performance, reliability, repeatability, and more. Throughout, they offer real-world case studies, detailed references, practical examples, and convenient checklists. You'll find indispensable guidance for addressing key questions like:
How can I design new systems to work more effectively with DevOps?
How do I address culture and communication problems between Dev and Ops?
How do I integrate DevOps with agile methods and TDD?
What are the best ways to handle specific issues such as failure detection and upgrade planning?

Today the kiddos stayed with my mom while some friends and I went to the Taste of Tacoma and a movie. It was much needed after a rough week with a sickly baby. Thankfully that's all over, and my darling Kate is back to her happy, normal self! Nevertheless, it was nice to enjoy some time out.
As often as I've been to Point Defiance, I'm not sure that I've ever seen Koi fish in the pond here. We saw three huge ones! Of course, fish make me miss Jeremy even more. It's funny how the smallest, silliest things can remind you of someone and bring back a flood of emotions. Never a day goes by that I don't think about him and am reminded of him in some fashion. At least I know with out a shadow of a doubt that he's my one and only.
I certainly hope that next year Jeremy will be here! Of the past three years I've been to the Taste of Tacoma, only once have I gone with Jeremy. I can't wait for him to be back for all of this!

TAMPA, Fla. (Dec. 10, 2013)—The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) has named 143 innovators to NAI Fellow status, representing 94 prestigious research universities and governmental and non-profit research institutions.
Collectively, the new Fellows hold more than 5,600 U.S. patents.
Included in the 2013 class are 26 presidents and senior leadership of research universities and non-profit research institutes, 69 members of the National Academies (NAS, NAE, IOM), five inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, six recipients of the U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation, two recipients of the U.S. National Medal of Science, nine Nobel Laureates, five Lemelson-MIT prize recipients, 27 AAAS Fellows, and 23 IEEE Fellows, among other awards and distinctions.
Election to NAI Fellow status is a high professional distinction accorded to academic inventors who have demonstrated a highly prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on quality of life, economic development, and the welfare of society.
The NAI Fellows will be inducted by the Deputy U.S. Commissioner for Patents, Andrew Faile, from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), during the 3rd Annual Conference of the National Academy of Inventors, on Mar. 7, 2014, in Alexandria, Va., at the USPTO headquarters. Fellows will be presented with a special trophy and a rosette pin. A plaque listing the name and institution of each NAI Fellow will be on permanent display at the USPTO.
"The USPTO and the NAI work closely together to promote innovation and support inventors," said Margaret A. (Peggy) Focarino, U.S. Commissioner for Patents. "The NAI Fellows program is a great opportunity to honor our nation's outstanding inventors."
The NAI Charter Fellows will be recognized with a full page announcement in The Chronicle of Higher Education on Jan. 17, 2014, and in upcoming issues of Inventors Digest and Technology and Innovation – Proceedings of the National Academy of Inventors.
The academic inventors and innovators elected to the rank of NAI Fellow are named inventors on U.S. patents and were nominated by their peers for outstanding contributions to innovation in areas such as patents and licensing, innovative discovery and technology, significant impact on society, and support and enhancement of innovation.
"Selection as an NAI Fellow is a high honor," said Anne Chasser, former U.S. Commissioner for Trademarks at the USPTO and chair of the NAI Fellows Selection Committee. "The Fellows have made outstanding contributions to innovation and discovery, in ways that have had a significant impact on quality of life, economic development and the welfare of society."
The 2013 NAI Fellows Selection Committee was comprised of 13 members including NAI Charter Fellows, recipients of U.S. National Medals, National Inventors Hall of Fame inductees, members of the National Academies and senior officials from the USPTO, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association of University Technology Managers, and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
"The 2013 NAI Fellows and their creative accomplishments showcase the continued excellence of academic innovation and invention," said NAI President Dr. Paul R. Sanberg. "Their work has brought great benefit to the world and we are proud to honor them as Fellows."
The complete list of NAI Fellows can be found here: http://academyofinventors.com/search-fellows.asp.
The National Academy of Inventors is a 501(c)(3) non-profit member organization comprised of U.S. and international universities, and governmental and non-profit research institutions, with over 3,000 individual inventor members and Fellows spanning more than 200 institutions, and growing rapidly. It was founded in 2010 to recognize and encourage inventors with patents issued from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, enhance the visibility of academic technology and innovation, encourage the disclosure of intellectual property, educate and mentor innovative students, and translate the inventions of its members to benefit society. The NAI offices are located in the University of South Florida Research Park. The NAI edits the multidisciplinary journal, Technology and Innovation – Proceedings of the National Academy of Inventors, published by Cognizant Communication Corporation (NY).

Last week was just one of those weeks. You know, the week where things won't quite come together, where everything is running just enough behind to be a problem, where your head isn't in the game and you don't why. It was one of those.
Which meant today was one of those days when I needed to sit, quietly be, and recalibrate before pushing on through. I wanted to reframe the challenges I was looking at, and I was thinking about our manifesto statement, "Attitude is the difference between an ordeal and an adventure." How I look at things influences my reality, or at least how I move through my reality.
What ordeal-turned-adventure am I facing (or smack dab in the middle of) this week? How can I replace my current, negative inner dialogue about it with a new truth?
Cheers to this adventurous week!

Although it's been showered with Emmy nominations and critical praise, "The Good Wife" has gotten a little lost on Sunday night in the midst of cable's big guns—HBO's "Game of Thrones" and "Boardwalk Empire," Showtime's final season of "Dexter," "Ray Donovan" and the new "Masters of Sex," AMC's "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead"—but it remains the perfect example of what network TV does best, tearing its narratives from the day's headlines.
With the fifth season of "The Good Wife" premiering last month, Streampix is the place to go to not only catch up on the previous four iterations, but to also see each new episode as it becomes available. The latest installment, "The Bit Bucket," the second of the year, finds tension ratcheting up at Lockhart Gardner, with a group of fourth-year partners, including star Julianna Margulies; Alicia Florrick, ready to ankle the firm to start up their own, while desperately trying to keep the move a secret from Josh Charles' Will Gardner and Christine Baranski's Diane Lockhart, who is distracted by her own bid to be a judge on the state Supreme Court.

The year's second episode continues to track the law firm's defense of ChumHum, a fictional Google-like search engine, and its head, "The Big C"'s wonderful Emmy-nominated John Benjamin Hickey, against the NSA (National Security Agency), who have made public the site's cooperation with their demands for information about its users. "The Bit Bucket" opens with a pair of young agents listening in on phone calls to and from the firm—not as a result of the prior case, but because Lockhart Gardner has been defending a suspected terrorist, Danny Marwat, who insists he was brought in to Afghanistan by the Taliban solely as a translator. This eavesdropping opens up a Pandora's Box of possible illegalities, including phone calls from the Somali girlfriend of Alicia's son, apparently the daughter of a suspected Hamas sympathizer, which allows the agency to step up the surveillance on the firm. Now, that should be fun.
"Arrested Development" and "The Larry Sanders Show" co-star Jeffrey Tambor plays Judge Kluger, presiding over the ChumHum case, as the government invokes issues of "national security" in order to defend themselves against the lawsuit, which seeks $3 billion worth of damages from users who've stopped using the service after its relationship with the NSA was revealed.
Trying to keep their defection a secret, Alicia discovers her mom (the free-drinking, free-spending Stockard Channing) has surreptitiously put down a $140k down payment on a new suite of offices, a move that has former "Deadwood" cast member Zach Grenier's David Lee, her estate planner at the firm, awfully suspicious. Archie Panjabi's in-house investigator Kalinda Sharma, who is apparently not being asked to move with the others, is also wondering what's going on.

Meanwhile, Diane is being pressured by Alan Cumming's sleazy political consultant (and hatchet man) Eli Gold to throw her partner Will under the bus in an interview with reporter Mandy Post (the returning Miriam Shot) in order to secure her nomination to be a state Supreme Court judge. Opposing her is recalcitrant Chief Justice Virgil Ryvlan ("The Walking Dead"'s Jeffrey DeMunn), who is playing a power game with Chris Noth's Illinois Governor elect Peter Florrick by withholding his support.
After Peter warns Ryvlan he better support Diane—or else—Eli tries to tell her she doesn't have to do the interview, but it's too late… Lockhart's apparently already spilling her guts about Will to the reporter, which threatens to tear apart the firm.
As you can tell, the fifth season of "The Good Wife" promises massive upheaval, government interference and frayed ties among former colleagues—the recipe for an intriguing series of events that threatens the very fabric of Lockhart Gardner.
