Experts: W.H. H2O evidence murky
First lady Michelle Obama's new drive to get Americans to drink more water may seem unlikely to make waves, but it spills into areas that have stirred intense controversy among scientists, public health campaigners and environmentalists.
Launching the latest part of her Let's Move initiative Thursday, the first lady declared that increasing water consumption will improve the health of kids and adults alike. She promised an intense media campaign that will include TV spots, as well as Web ads and social media postings encouraging Americans to "#drinkH2O."
Story Continued Below
"I've come to realize that if we were going to take just one step to make ourselves and our families healthier, probably the single best thing we could do is to simply drink more water. It's as simple as that," Obama said during a kick-off event at a high school in the aptly-named Watertown, Wis. "Drink just one more glass of water a day and you can make a real difference for your health, for your energy and the way that you feel."
( Also on POLITICO: White House leans on industry for water push)
"Water is the first and best energy drink," she told a crowd at a water festival outside the school. "I drink a ton of water."
"The science and evidence about hydration and drinking water … abound, starting from headaches, but it leads to many more conditions," White House assistant chef and Let's Move director Sam Kass told reporters in a conference call Wednesday, citing obesity as one of the ills that could be reduced through more water consumption. "We do have a quarter of kids who drink no water under the age of 19. And over 40 percent of Americans aren't even drinking half the water we know is recommended for optimum health."
However, several public health experts contacted by POLITICO said they had concerns about the way the White House was framing the campaign. Those experts said the health benefits of increased water consumption are murky and there are no widely accepted criteria for how much water individuals should drink each day.
( PHOTOS: Michelle Obama magazine cover appearances)
"There really isn't data to support this," said Dr. Stanley Goldfarb of the University of Pennsylvania. "I think, unfortunately, frankly, they're not basing this on really hard science. It's not a very scientific approach they've taken. … To make it a major public health effort, I think I would say it's bizarre."
Goldfarb, a kidney specialist, took particular issue with White House claims that drinking more water would boost energy.
"The idea drinking water increases energy, the word I've used to describe it is: quixotic," he said. "We're designed to drink when we're thirsty. … There's no need to have more than that."
( WATCH: Michelle Obama's many TV appearances)
Some experts were more receptive to the White House campaign, while expressing caution about some of the claims.
"The key is drinking water is great and replacing all the junk we drink with water would be fantastic," said Barry Popkin, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina. "Water is the best thing we could drink. … But the Kass arguments do not fit our science of water and dehydration as much as he is pushing."
"The campaign really is a no-brainer," said Dr. David Ludwig, an obesity researcher at at Boston's Children's Hospital. "Increased consumption of water may have a multitude of health benefits….There's also observational evidence water consumption lowers body weight and may help protect against a variety of chronic diseases."
However, Ludwig acknowledged that the upside to boosting water intake is still being explored by scientists. "There is strong indication, but there is not absolute scientific confidence, regarding the benefits of increased water consumption," he said. "Cause and effect remains to be established. There have been very few randomized trials."
As for Obama's claim that one more glass of water a day will make a "real difference" to health, Ludwig said there is only "suggestive evidence" of that at the moment.
In recent years, news outlets ranging from NPR to Reuters to Mother Jones have run stories suggesting the claim that Americans don't drink enough water or need to drink, say, eight glasses a day, is an urban myth.
"There is a lot of controversy about how much water you need to drink as water," said Dr. George Benjamin, president of the American Public Health Association. "I think certainly you should be drinking as much fluid as you need."
Asked about the criticism, a White House official said the new drive will not urge people to drink a particular quantity of water.
"This campaign isn't about drinking a certain amount of water a day (i.e., a certain number of glasses or ounces, etc.), we're just asking people to drink more water," said the aide, who asked not to be named.
The First Lady's office referred questions about the scientific claims to the Partnership a for Healthier America, which pointed POLITICO to experts supportive of the campaign. None cited scientific studies showing, for example, that a modest amount of extra water could boost energy or stamina in an otherwise healthy person.
"I would say not," said Mary Story, a public health professor at the University of Minnesota. She also said that some people may think that because they drink more water, they're free to eat more or worse-for-you food.
However, she said she "totally supports" the White House effort to make water more available. "I think that is really needed in the U.S.," Story said, arguing that the effort is likely to push some sugary drinks out of people's diets.
"I'm not aware of studies or reports suggesting large numbers of American are walking around dehydrated," said Ursula Bauer of the Centers for Disease Control. "I myself notice a pick-me-up when I get a glass of water in in the afternoon."
There are some scientific studies supporting the idea that boosting water consumption can cut down on obesity.

One of the many things I miss about living in California is the Mexican food. Sure we have Mexican restaurants here in Richmond, but none that measure up to the ones I left behind, like Tony's Jacal in Solana Beach. Around since 1946, they are a family business offering up home cooked specialties like Pulled Turkey Tacos, Chile Rellenos, and some of the best Chicken Mole I have ever had. –Their margaritas are pretty good too…
Tony's is far far away from here, and the visits back to California don't come often enough for me, so when I am craving Mexican, I do my best to recapture those flavors by cooking my favorites at home. Not the same, and I don't have Solana Beach out my back door, but I do manage to come close, and Jeff"s margaritas are pretty killer.
Mole is made with a combination of chilies, spices, nuts, and chocolate; ingredients that are simmered together to produce a sauce that is rich, complex, and velvety smooth. Chicken and turkey are natural partners for mole sauce, and pretty amazing when shredded and wrapped up together in a warm tortilla.
My labradoodle Lilly thinks Chicken Mole Tacos are pretty special too; ( notice her nose in the upper right of this photo? ha ha ) she was really interested in what I was doing while shooting the pics for this post.
Mole freezes very well, so I like to make a big batch. When I have a busy day and need a quick dinner, I will pull some of that mole out of the freezer and pick up a store bought rotisserie chicken to shred. Though they aren't Tony's Jacal tacos, they are a family favorite around here, and help satisfy my craving for authentic Mexican cooking.
- 3 tablespoons (or more) peanut oil (preferably unrefined), divided
- 2½ pounds skinless boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1½ cups low-salt chicken broth
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 large onion, sliced
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- 4 large garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
- 2 ounces dried pasilla chiles, stemmed, seeded, torn into 1-inch pieces, rinsed
- 1 ounce dried ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded, torn into 1-inch pieces, rinsed
- ⅛ cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ of a 3.1-ounce disk Mexican chocolate, chopped
- Warm flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, chopped
- 2 cups thinly sliced romaine leaves
- ½ of a small red onion, finely chopped
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add chicken to pot; sauté until lightly browned, adding more oil by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to large bowl.
- Return chicken and any juices to pot. Add broth and orange juice; bring just to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until chicken is tender and just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter, reserving cooking liquid until cool enough to handle. Coarsely shred chicken.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until golden brown, about 18 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add almonds, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Sauté until nuts and garlic begin to color, about 2 minutes. Add chiles and stir until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Pour reserved chicken cooking liquid into saucepan with onion mixture (reserve pot). Add raisins, and oregano to saucepan. Cover and simmer until chiles are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat; add chocolate. Let stand until chocolate melts and sauce mixture cools slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Working in small batches, transfer sauce mixture to blender and puree until smooth; return to reserved pot. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Chill until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over low heat before serving.
- Assembly:
- Place 2 tortillas on each plate. Spoon shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla. Spoon desired amount of mole sauce over chicken. Top with romaine lettuce, avocado, and red onion

Poor Darth Vader. He used to be the baddest of the bad guys, the deadliest dad, and the grumpiest force-choker around. Over the years, however, he's been reduced to a cuddly bear, a Hello Kitty parody, and a really excellent dancer.
Adding to the indignity, George Lucas has now added even more "tweaks" to the original Return of the Jedi which has the Internet on FIRE with all of geekdom up in arms. Most lampooned was the addition of a rather entertaining Vader yell, which has been described as "ridiculous," "undignified," and "Dude, it's a yell. What's the big deal?"
Well, never fear, fellow fans! I'm here to help.
In fact, I promise you'll never think that yell is undignified again.
Compared to these.
Oh. Actually, this one's not so bad - since it's plastic and all. I just find it funny to imagine Vader using contractions. Go on, say it in your head. "LUKE I'M YOUR FATHER." No? Just me?
Right, moving on.
A grateful force-choke to Timbrely, Clare, Julie Anne D., Annie L., Arielle C., and Brenda J. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch the Vader TomTom commercial again. That thing cracks. me. up.

Argentina ease past Trinidad and Tobago to continue World Cup preparations
Argentina stepped up their World Cup preparation with a 3-0 home win against Trinidad and Tobago in Buenos Aires.
Last Updated: 05/06/14 7:56am
The visitors kept Lionel Messi off the scoresheet but could not resist the Barcelona player's international team-mates as goals from Rodrigo Palacio, Javier Mascherano and Maxi Rodriguez secured a comfortable victory.
In Argentina's first designated World Cup warm-up fixture, it took Alejandro Sabella's team a good while to break through, but once Palacio netted the opening goal in first-half stoppage time there was little doubting the way the game would go.
There was a hint of fortune about Palacio's goal, which came from a corner swept over from the left by Angel di Maria.
Palacio's near-post header was firm, but more or less straight at goalkeeper Jan-Michael Williams. Yet Williams could not cling to the ball and he was left to despairingly watch it drop over the line.
Messi almost found the target in the 50th minute when, from a free-kick, he curled the ball over the Trinidad and Tobago wall and against the inside of the right post.
Mascherano was perhaps the surprise figure sweeping up the loose ball, which bounced across the goal mouth for the midfielder to stick his left boot to and direct into the empty net. Williams was powerless to prevent him making it 2-0 to Argentina.
Argentina broke out of defence at pace for the third goal in the 64th minute as Mascherano's long pass put Inter Milan's Palacio behind the Trinidad and Tobago backline.
He nudged the ball beyond Williams but still had plenty of work to do, even just to keep the ball in play.
He stopped it crossing the dead-ball line before cutting back to Rodriguez who placed an assured shot into the net from 10 yards.
Argentina were without established stars including Pablo Zabaleta, Ezequiel Garay, Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain, who are building up their fitness for the tilt at glory in Brazil.
Sabella's side face a final warm-up game against Slovenia on Saturday.
Messi told television station TyC Sports: "The important point is that we finished the match with no injured players.
"We are calm, happy with the squad we have. We'll try to play good football in the World Cup, win the next friendly and focus on the tournament then."

Outdoor Motorbike Cover – BMW GS Adventure
Outdoor Motorcycle Cover for a BMW GS Adventure Motorcycle: Review
Finding an indoor or outdoor motorbike cover which will fit a BMW GS Adventure motorcycle or just a BMW GS is very hard work in my opinion. Particularly when you are buying an XL motorcycle cover off the shelf in the hope that it will cover the extent of your large bike, its top box, any additional panniers and its mirrors. It just won't work usually.
So recently I have found an excellent quality motorbike cover for my new BMW GS Adventure and it is by far the best I have ever found for an adventure motorcycle. It was via Prestige Motorcycle Covers which I found one Saturday when I was looking through the web. I went for a black and green design which you can see in the post image.
They seem to provide the most stylish custom made semi-fitted outdoor motorbike covers you can buy on the market today, plus they are available for a range of motorbikes: Scooters, Adventure, Enduro, Trial, Trail, Retro, Cruisers & Sports Bikes.
What happens with them is you provide them with 5 measurements for your bike, you then select the colour (10 to choose from) and material you want and then they tailor make a motorcycle cover specific for your bike (indoor or outdoor) and then they send it to you in the post free of charge.
The material they use is waterproof and breathable, the design of the motorcycle cover means you have additional straps within the design so you can stop any flapping, it is a snug fit, plus the quality of the end product means that it will last for a long time.
Unfortunately my bike sits on the pavement every night as we don't have a garage and it has to survive the UK winter and lots of salty sea air. So the new outdoor motorcycle cover means it is well covered during the day and night, it is out of sight, it is protected from the elements and it doesn't draw any attention to it.
In the past I have had covers which only just go over the top box at the back but the cover never seemed to stretch further past the seat. So you were squeezing a cover on, it wasn't doing the job and if you buy a universal large motorcycle cover off the shelf I'm sorry but you aren't getting something which fits well for your motorbike.
The cost was very reasonable too. You are paying about £20-£30 more for the cover compared to other suppliers of off the shelf products, but you are guaranteed a quality motorcycle cover from a professional team. In total I paid £80 for something which was custom made and I am very happy, knowing that this motorcycle cover will look after the BMW GS for years to come.
Here are the details for Prestige Motorbike Covers:

Quote from: goingtomiami on July 14, 2005, 12:00:58 PMAre there office furniture surplus stores in/around Coral Gables? I was looking for a place to buy a couple of office type chairs and a desk.Thanks!A lot of the ones I've seen are kind of upscale, with fancy showrooms and all. Coral Gables is a pretty ritzy community. I looked in the phone book and there is a place called Office Furniture Warehouse located downtown (305-266-4447), but I don't know what they have. About 10 minutes south of campus on US-1 is a place called Dadeland Station, and there is a Best Buy, Target, a furniture store (Thomasville I think), a Sports Authority, and a Michael's. Pretty much everyone I know has either bought cheap furniture at Target, or has bought used stuff from all the ads people have around campus. In the UC there is a big bulletin board and there are always tons of people selling old furniture, so that would be a good place to check when you get down here.
Are there office furniture surplus stores in/around Coral Gables? I was looking for a place to buy a couple of office type chairs and a desk.Thanks!
Hello from Miami!! I am finally here, and my apartment is awesome!! It is so hot here its gross and I bet August will be even hotter!I am trying to learn my way around, moving across the country and to a new state is so confusing, but I've been here three days and have driven in all directions so I think i'm getting the hang of it...Its just hard to find things like Costco, Target, etc... I am living pretty much in the middle of everything and every person I ask tells me to go to a different location, so its all about finding the closest things to me and the best possible way to go about getting there.I did the drive to school down US-1 , its a little trafficy but it didnt take me more than 15 minutes. I drove all through Kendall its nice but very congested with traffic. I wonder if there is any back ways to get to school from where I am (near 395) instead of shooting all the way down US-1. Well, i gotta go I'm leaving tomorrow to go on a cruise to the bahamas for the weekend, I hope the hurricanes and tropical storms dont eat my cruise ship.
OH NO!! Goingtomiami! Don't leave us! This is definately a question for UM. I know my first payment is due Aug. 1st. The school can be very flexible. For example, I'm on a payment plan. Maybe they can defer your first payment for a month or so. You just have to ask!

The shooter of first responders in Webster, N.Y., was a convicted felon, a murderer, a malcontent who believed his personal rage was justification enough for killing.
It is against the law for a felon to possess firearms, yet he was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and a high-powered rifle. He had killed before - not with a gun, but with a hammer. Ban assault rifles, they will bring shotguns. Ban guns, they will bring hammers.
Do we have a gun culture in America? Of course we do. This country was hacked from the wilderness and founded by the gun. For over two centuries it has been maintained by the gun. Today there are more than a quarter-billion guns in the hands of civilians.
But should civilians have access to assault weapons, or should they be restricted only to the military and law enforcement? These may look scary, but they function exactly the same as any other semi-automatic rifle - and fire ammunition that is far less powerful than used in many common hunting rifles.
A look back to the founding fathers and their intent is in order.
Before the fledgling states would ratify the proposed federal constitution, they demanded the inclusion of 12 amendments guaranteeing certain rights for individual citizens. They feared the possibility of leaping from the frying pan - a hard-fought war of independence against King George - and into the fire - a strong central government that could evolve into the same type of oppression.
Their first demand was that they be allowed to say and print whatever they wanted. The second demand was that the people keep the guns. It was not about self-protection - that pistols be allowed but the long rifle, with awesome power and range, be relegated only to the military. This debate was a non-starter since the intent was for a check on abuse of central power.
Some would say a check of that nature is no longer valid, that our system of government would not allow an oppressive federal power to emerge. Even if it did, the people couldn't possibly thwart our supreme military.
Yet our federal government has shifted far beyond its constitutional authority and continues to break constitutional law every year. And 50 million armed citizens equates to a force that is 25 times the size of our military. Who dare step on these shores?
Would we curtail a constitutional right for 500 million Americans because of an unfounded fear? I say 500 million because the right will be lost for all today and tomorrow. I say unfounded because emotion is overrunning logic.
From the killings at Columbine in 1999 to the rampage at Newtown in 2012, there have been a total of 28 mass shootings where five or more people were gunned down. The body count over 13 years is 250.
We don't need politicians enacting regulations we know do not work. The assault weapon and high-capacity magazine ban was in place for 10 years - and had no measurable effect on crime.
We do need far better integration of criminal data files for instant background checks. And doctors must be allowed and required to code certain patients as not eligible for firearms.
Private sales - whether at a gun show or across a backyard - must also be governed by criminal and mental background checks. And laws must be strengthened to restrict access to lethal ordinance so they do not fall into the wrong hands.
As Syrians pray for mercy at the hands of their military, let us remember firearms in the hands of law-abiding Americans is a very good thing.

Melbourne is known globally as the little sister to Sydney, but those in the know understand how great a city Melbourne is. Melbourne doesn't have iconic buildings or amazing beaches like Sydney does, but it has a lot of character. Melbourne is truly one of the great cities of the world. Here are four things everyone should do in Melbourne!
Street Art Tour
I know a street art tour sounds like a strange thing to do, and yes that basically means graffiti. However, in Melbourne it really has become an art form and big time artists have been commissioned to graffiti in certain areas of the city. It's not like New York City in the 1970s!
These tours are about two hours and aside from seeing great art, you really get a feel for the city so you get a two for one basically. Bring your camera because there's some really cool stuff to see!
Hidden Secrets Tour
I know, I know, another tour. I generally dislike tours but if you don't do a tour of Melbourne's hidden secrets you'll miss them because they really are hidden.
Melbourne is full of small laneways and alleys that you wouldn't normally go as a tourist. But go with a guide who knows the city, and you'll discover some awesome things you wouldn't have found otherwise. Much of Melbourne's greatness lies beneath the surface and you have to do some digging to find it.
Rent a Bicycle
Melbourne is a big, beautiful city that is developing fast and furious. Most people stick to the Central Business District (CBD) or head to the beaches and those are both great to see. However, if you're short on time and really want to see the neighborhoods of Melbourne that will remind you of San Francisco or Portland, then rent a bike and tour on your own or with a guide. I found it to be a big help and I highly recommend it!
Melbourne is the sporting capital of Australia. Most people know that Melbourne is the host city of the first tennis grand slam of the year each January, the Australian Open. It is my favorite tennis event to attend and is truly an awesome tournament.
Next to the tennis center is the Melbourne Cricket Ground or the MCG or as locals call it, the G. It is the most famous stadium in Australia and one of the most famous in the world. It's home to Australian Rules Football or AFL, Cricket including the most recent Cricket World Cup final and it was the host stadium for the 1956 Summer Olympics that were the first ever Olympics contested in the Southern Hemisphere. Melbourne is a great sporting city and hopefully your visit will coincide with a fun event.

"Throw someone to the wolves." In "My Antonia" Willa Cather attributes to two of her characters, immigrant brothers from Russia, the Russian incident of the wedding party in sleighs attacked by a huge pack of wolves. They throw the bride to the wolves in order to save themselves. Shunned, they emigrate to the US. The incident may well be a Russian urban legend, something that happened to "a friend of a cousin of babushka's milkman". In any event, for definition purposes I think that the key element of the act is doing it to save yourself.

I am delighted you want to check out my personal website, however
please talk to my agents about commissions as they handle all of that for me.
I look forward to working with you.
Annie Davidson is a Melbourne-based illustrator whose naïve and quirky drawings - filled with meticulous patterns and fine touches of detail - are catching the eye of clients worldwide.
She finds inspiration in plenty of ways. Japanese woodblock prints by artists like Hiroshi Yoshida, old botanical sketches by Ernst Haeckel, and quirky and humorous kids books – all of them have influenced her style. She also likes underwater scenes, surf beaches, crazy plants, and going to exhibitions by esoteric artists.
Part of Annie never wants to grow up, so she and her friends have formed an 'Adventure Club'. Members try out activities that will give them an adrenalin rush, and afterwards they eat pancakes. It's fun, it's silly, and as Annie found out when they went skateboarding, it can give you a split lip.
Annie's favourite holiday destination so far is Slovenia. The country's blue lakes, caves in the hills and castles on the cliffs are all sparks for her imagination.
Give us a few details and we'll get back

Most of the information on this page is extracted from the document A Guide to Workplace Safety and Health in Washington State (F416-132-000).
For specific safety and health topics, browse the A-Z Safety and Health Topics to find information in a particular section.
If you have other questions that do not appear here, you can send us comments through our site feedback form and we will respond to your questions and concerns.
WISHA is the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act, Chapter 49.17 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) (app.leg.wa.gov), enacted in 1973 by the Washington State legislature. In 1976, it became the nation's first fully operational state safety and health plan approved by the federal government.
We have a long prior history of public service dedicated to the protection of worker safety and health. Our state constitution of 1889 says, "The legislature shall pass necessary laws for the protection of persons working in mines, factories and other employments dangerous to life or deleterious to health; and fix pains and penalties for enforcement of the same." (Article II, Section 35)
DOSH gives the Department of Labor & Industries a primary responsibility for worker health and safety in Washington.
The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I), Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is responsible for administering the requirements under WISHA.
Our job is to ensure that employers provide safe and healthful working conditions for Washington's workers. We work in partnership with business, labor, institutions and other government agencies to save workers' lives and to help prevent workplace injuries and illnesses.
Nearly all employers and employees in Washington are covered, including workers for the state, counties and cities.
Employers in Washington must follow safety and health rules, called standards, to protect their employees from workplace hazards. The Department enforces the rules by inspecting workplaces without advance notice, and by investigating work-related fatalities, incidents and complaints. When a violation is found, we issue a citation requiring the employer to correct the hazard. The WISH Act requires monetary penalties for serious violations. We encourage employers to voluntarily comply with the standards, and offer free on-site consultation visits and training services. Employers are required to fix serious hazards identified by a consultant, but penalties are not assessed. For more information on services which DOSH offers to employers, go to the Safety section of our website.
As required by WISHA, we enforce general safety and health standards, also called horizontal standards, that all employers must comply with (Chapters 296-24 and 296-62 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC)). Industry-specific standards, also known as vertical standards, apply to about 30 specific industries, such as construction, logging, and agriculture. There are also administrative rules covering record keeping, posting of certain documents, and other paperwork requirements that must be followed by all employers (Chapters 296-27 and 296-900 WAC).
It's a set of rules that specify how the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA), Washington's workplace safety and health law (Chapter 49.17 RCW), will be carried out or obeyed. Examples include the requirement for all employers to have an accident prevention program tailored to their operations and the specific hazards involved; requirements for the proper handling and storage of hazardous materials; and guarding requirements for power operated tools.
WISHA standards, by federal OSHA law, must be "at least as effective as" federal standards. When OSHA adopts or changes federal standards, we must adopt or modify WISHA standards so they are identical to or at least as effective as federal standards. We also write our own standards with no federal equivalent based on needs identified by our staff, labor or management groups, workers' and employers' suggestions, and when required by legislative action.
All permanent workplace safety and health rules are adopted, amended or repealed through a formal process that gives the public advance notice and an opportunity to comment. After approval, the rules become part of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC).
For more information on standards, who writes them, and how the public can get involved, browse the section on rule making in A Guide to Workplace Safety and Health in Washington State (F416-132-000).
To learn more about standards currently being considered and how you can get involved, see the New Rule Activity page.
WISHA, the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act, is designed to ensure employers are providing employees in Washington state with safer and healthful working environments. Under WISHA, employers must:
Authorized employer representatives who are not sure whether workplace conditions comply with safety and health standards may request free, confidential consulting services from the division's consultation staff. Safety and health professionals can examine the workplace and make recommendations on how to comply with WISHA standards. They can analyze employers' accident prevention programs and provide training. To find out about DOSH's free consultations and educational services, go to the Safety section of our website.
DOSH offers a series of no-fee workshops on occupational safety and health topics, and several other workshops dealing with topics such as industrial insurance reporting, claims management and loss control, ergonomics etc. To find out more about DOSH workshops, go to the online workshop catalog.
Consultation staff also operate a safety and health film library to lend audio-visual materials to employers. Browse the online DOSH video library catalog for more information.
WISHA requires workers to comply with all safety and health standards that apply to their actions on the job. Employees must:
When you believe working conditions are unsafe or unhealthy, you first should bring the conditions to your employer's attention. If your employer does not correct the hazard or disagrees with you about the extent of the hazard, you can file a complaint with DOSH. Meanwhile, stay on the job.
You have the right to file a confidential complaint with DOSH if you believe there may be a violation of a WISHA standard or a serious safety or health hazard at work. You may file the complaint with the nearest Labor & Industries office. Call 1-800-423-7233 or get a listing of offices and phone numbers.
You can call and speak with a DOSH compliance representative about a hazard, violation, or filing a complaint. You can also call the toll-free number 1-800-423-7233 for general assistance. For additional information about DOSH, safety and health standards, and how an inspection is conducted, see the About WISHA, DOSH, and OSHA page.

Your Life Calling: Behind the Scenes on the Pacific Coast
By Life Reimagined TODAY , August 09, 2011 06:14 PM
The following is a guest post from Kim Sedmak. (Dispatches from Boston here, Yellowstone here.)
We've been on the road again - this time on a very large ferry boat to Bainbridge Island, WA, just a 35-minute ride from downtown Seattle. This is where Jane Pauley interviewed Gifford and Libba Pinchot, the founders of the Bainbridge Graduate Institute (BGI) for AARP's TODAY SHOW series "Your Life Calling." Ten years ago at age 58, this dynamic duo decided to do "one more big thing" and created an accredited graduate school where students obtain MBA degrees in sustainability. BGI uses Islandwood, a 255 acre environmental education facility known as a 'School in the Woods,' as its base of operation for classes.
The place feels much like a summer camp complete with a dining hall, an arts and crafts barn, a suspension bridge in the woods that crosses a ravine and cabins which they prefer to call cottages. There is no room service, no bar, no ice machines, and no CNN! But they do have Wi-Fi which we of course accidently somehow managed to disconnect throughout the facility! TV crews are not known for doing well under these circumstances. And yet, it's probably one of the most beautiful locations that we've stayed at while working on this series.
I felt as though we were all staying in the midst of a large forest (and we were) with Jane housed in one of the few private cottages while the crew and I stayed across the way in a larger cottage called the Bird's Nest Lodge. Each of the rooms is named after a type of bird, and Raven was plastered across my room door!
You also have to leave your car in a parking lot at the front door of Islandwood and it takes special permission to bring a vehicle onto the property. Luckily we did obtain that special approval! This is very much appreciated especially when we're known to travel with 23 cases of gear!
Jane and I both agreed the all organic cotton sheets, towels and blankets used throughout the rooms were really lovely! These touches make you feel nice when you get up in the morning, given we had a 7:30 a.m. crew call! As a special treat the chef in the dining hall the night before made Jane three fresh hard boiled eggs which Gifford very sweetly hand-delivered to her door.
The next morning, I met my very first banana slug on the path while walking back from our delicious breakfast in the dining hall (fresh baked peach and apricot scones). I had never seen a banana slug and I soon learned they are sacred here at Islandwood! This is because banana slugs are considered decomposers. They process leaves, animal droppings, and dead plant material, and then recycle them into soil. Obviously all reasons why the BGI graduate students look upon them favorably - banana slugs could become a highly valued commodity in the world of "green" business!
We had a very long day that not only included Jane's interview, but after dodging a rain shower, shooting a mini tour of the Main Center and finally getting a sunshine shot of Jane and the Pinchots in the garden (things are very unpredictable in the Pacific NW), the day was done.
The crew and I ended up having dinner afterwards with Libba and Gifford in Winslow then taking the ferry back to Seattle with them. As you might imagine, the wine flowed and so did the conversation. As we left the Bainbridge Island shore with the sun setting in the distance and the Ferry's expansive deck awash in the evening light, I kept thinking - these two should be nominated for something big - something like a MacArthur Grant!

Renowned for its views but chided for tough navigation across its 4,300 acres, Heavenly offers a wealth of terrain. "California Side" features intermediate trees and the legendarily steep moguls of The Face. "Nevada Side" is home to Mott and Killebrew canyons—double-black sidecountry terrain. Heavenly's two-state format is an asset and a hindrance: "Getting to some runs requires a substantial amount of traversing," complains one reader. Be advised that Heavenly rewards explorers who get off-piste. First-timers, take a guided tour to find stashes such as Nevada Woods and The Burn. Off mountain, casinos provide action 24/7. Indeed, Heavenly ranks no. 2 in Off-Hill Activities and no. 5 in Après. Part Vegas, part Vail, with a twist of scenic splendor, Heavenly's a gamble for some but a sure bet for others. —Paul Tolme
Off-Mountain Restaurant » On the 19th floor of Harvey's Casino, 19 Kitchen Bar's panoramic lake views and blue Tahoe-tinis are just right.
Bragging Rights » Killebrew Canyon is the last terrain to open after a storm. Enter through Gate C to familiarize yourself, and get ready to make precise turns (no falling here).
What's New» Three intermediate trails near the Galaxy lift expand the options in one of the resort's quieter sections, a perfect place for families.

U.S. refiner acquisition cost of imported crude oil: The average price paid by U.S. refiners for imported, that is, non-U.S., crude oil booked into their refineries in accordance with accounting procedures generally accepted and consistently and historically applied by the refiners concerned. The refiner acquisition cost of imported crude oil includes transportation and other fees paid by the refiner.
U.S.S.R.: See Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) .
U3O8: See Uranium oxide.
UF6: See Uranium hexafluoride.
ULCC: Ultra Large Crude Carrier.
Ultimate customer: A customer that purchases electricity for its own use and not for resale.
Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel: Diesel fuel containing a maximum 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur.
Ultraviolet: Electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range of 4 to 400 nanometers.
UMTRA: See Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978.
Unaccounted for (crude oil): Represents the arithmetic difference between the calculated supply and the calculated disposition of crude oil. The calculated supply is the sum of crude oil production plus imports minus changes in crude oil stocks. The calculated disposition of crude oil is the sum of crude oil input to refineries, crude oil exports, crude oil burned as fuel, and crude oil losses.
Unaccounted for (natural gas): Represents differences between the sum of the components of natural gas supply and the sum of components of natural gas disposition. These differences maybe due to quantities lost or to the effects of data reporting problems. Reporting problems include differences due to the net result of conversions of flow data metered at varying temperatures and pressure bases and converted to a standard temperature and pressure base; the effect of variations in company accounting and billing practices; differences between billing cycle and calendar-period time frames; and imbalances resulting from the merger of data reporting systems that vary in scope, format, definitions, and type of respondents.
Unbundling: Separating vertically integrated monopoly functions into their component parts for the purpose of separate service offerings.
Uncompleted wells, equipment, and facilities costs: The costs incurred to (1) drill and equip wells that are not yet completed, and (2) acquire or construct equipment and facilities that are not yet completed and installed.
Unconsolidated entity: A firm directly or indirectly controlled by a parent but not consolidated with the parent for purposes of financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. An unconsolidated entity includes any firm consolidated with the unconsolidated entity for purposes of financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles historically and consistently applied. An individual shall be deemed to control a firm that is directly or indirectly controlled by him or by his father, mother, spouse, children, or grandchildren.
Unconventional oil and natural gas production: An umbrella term for oil and natural gas that is produced by means that do not meet the criteria for conventional production. See Conventional oil and natural gas production. Note: What has qualified as "unconventional" at any particular time is a complex interactive function of resource characteristics, the available exploration and production technologies, the current economic environment, and the scale, frequency, and duration of production from the resource. Perceptions of these factors inevitably change over time and they often differ among users of the term. For these reasons, the scope of this term will be expressly stated in any EIA publication that uses it. For example, see International Energy Outlook, Table E4 for the list it currently uses for unconventional oil and natural gas production.
Underground mine: A mine where coal is produced by tunneling into the earth to the coalbed, which is then mined with underground mining equipment such as cutting machines and continuous, longwall, and shortwall mining machines. Underground mines are classified according to the type of opening used to reach the coal, i.e., drift (level tunnel), slope (inclined tunnel), or shaft (vertical tunnel).
- A coal-cutting machine is used in conventional mining to undercut, top cut, or shear the coal face so that coal can be fractured easily when blasted. It cuts 9 to 13 feet into the bed.
- Continuous auger machine is used in mining coalbeds less than 3 feet thick. The auger has a cutting depth of about 5 feet and is 20 to 28 inches in diameter. Continuous auger mining usually uses a conveyor belt to haul the coal to the surface.
- Continuous mining machine, used during continuous mining, cuts or rips coal from the face and loads it into shuttle cars or conveyors in one operation. It eliminates the use of blasting devices and performs many functions of other equipment such as drills, cutting machines, and loaders. A continuous mining machine typically has a turning "drum" with sharp bits that cut and dig out the coal for 16 to 22 feet before mining stops so that the mined area can be supported with roof bolts. This machine can mine coal at the rate of 8 to 15 tons per minute.
- There are of two types of conveyor systems:
- A mainline conveyor, which is usually a permanent installation that carries coal to the surface.
- A section conveyor, which connects the working face to the mainline conveyor.
- Face drill is used in conventional mining to drill shot holes in the coalbed for explosive charges.
- Loading machine is used in conventional mining to scoop broken coal from the working area and load it into a shuttle car, which hauls the coal to mine cars or conveyors for delivery to the surface.
- Longwall mining machine shears coal from a long straight coal face (up to about 700 feet) by working back and forth across the face under a movable, hydraulic-jack roof-support system. The broken coal is transported by conveyor. Longwall machines can mine coal at the rate of 1,000 tons per shift. Mine locomotive, operating on tracks, is used to haul mine cars containing coal and other material, and to move personnel in specially designed "mantrip" cars. Large locomotives can haul more than 20 tons at a speed of about 10 miles per hour. Most mine locomotives run on electricity provided by a trolley wire; some are battery-powered.
- Ram car or shuttle ram is a rubber-tired haulage vehicle that is unloaded through the use of a movable steel plate located at the back of the haulage bed.
- Roof-bolting machine, or roof bolter, is used to drill holes and place bolts to support the mine roof. Roof bolting units can be installed on a continuous mining machine.
- Scoop is a rubber-tired haulage vehicle used in thin coalbeds.
- Shortwall mining machine generally is a continuous-mining machine used with a powered, self-advancing roof support system. It shears coal from a short coal face (up to about 150 feet long). The broken coal is hauled by shuttle cars to a conveyor belt.
- Shuttle car is a rubber-tired haulage vehicle that is unloaded by a built-in conveyor.
- A drift mine is driven horizontally into coal that is exposed or accessible in a hillside. In a hydraulic mine, high-pressure water jets break the coal from a steeply inclined, thick coalbed that would be difficult to mine with the usual underground methods. The coal is then transported to the surface by a system of flumes or by pipeline. Although currently not in commercial use in the United States, hydraulic mining is used in western Canada.
- A punch mine is a type of small drift mine used to recover coal from strip-mine highwalls or from small, otherwise uneconomical, coal deposits. A shaft mine is driven vertically to the coal deposit. A slope mine is driven at an angle to reach the coal deposit.
- In a room-and-pillar mining system, the most common method, the mine roof, is supported mainly by coal pillars left at regular intervals. Rooms are places where the coal is mined; pillars are areas of coal left between the rooms. Room-and-pillar mining is done either by 1) conventional mining, which involves a series of operations that require cutting the working face of the coalbed so that it breaks easily when blasted with explosives or high-pressure air, and then loading the broken coal or 2) continuous mining, in which a continuous mining machine extracts and removes coal from the working face in one operation. When a section of a mine has been fully developed, additional coal is extracted by mining the supportive pillars until the roof caves in; the procedure is called room-and-pillar retreat mining.
- In a longwall mining system, long sections of coal, up to about 700 feet, are removed and no pillars are left to support the mined-out areas. The working area is protected by a movable, powered roof support system. The caved area (gob) compacts and, after initial subsidence, supports the overlying strata. Longwall mining is used where the coalbed is thick and generally flat, where surface subsidence is acceptable.
- A shortwall mining system generally refers to the room-and-pillar mining in which the working face is wider than usual but smaller (less than 150 feet) than that in longwall mining.
Underground natural gas storage: The use of sub-surface facilities for storing natural gas for use at a later time. The facilities are usually hollowed-out salt domes, geological reservoirs (depleted oil or gas fields) or water-bearing sands (called aquifers) topped by an impermeable cap rock.
Underground natural gas storage injections: Natural gas put (injected) into underground storage reservoirs.
Underground storage: The storage of natural gas in underground reservoirs at a different location from which it was produced.
Underground storage withdrawals: Natural gas removed from underground storage reservoirs.
Undifferentiated/unspecified reserves and production: Reserves and production that are not separable by FERC production areas or by states. Undifferentiated and unspecified reserves consist only of company-owned gas in underground storage.
Undiscovered recoverable reserves (crude oil and natural gas): Those economic resources of crude oil and natural gas, yet undiscovered, that are estimated to exist in favorable geologic settings.
Undiscovered resources (coal): Unspecified bodies of coal surmised to exist on the basis of broad geologic knowledge and theory. Undiscovered resources include beds of bituminous coal and anthracite 14 inches or more thick and beds of sub bituminous coal and lignite 30 inches or more thick that are presumed to occur in unmapped and unexplored areas to depths of 6,000 feet. The speculative and hypothetical resource categories comprise undiscovered resources.
Unfilled requirements: Requirements not covered by usage of inventory or supply contracts in existence as of January 1 of the survey year.
Unfinished oils: All oils requiring further processing, except those requiring only mechanical blending. Unfinished oils are produced by partial refining of crude oil and include naphthas and lighter oils, kerosene and light gas oils, heavy gas oils, and residuum.
Unfractionated streams: Mixtures of unsegregated natural gas liquid components, excluding those in plant condensate. This product is extracted from natural gas.
Unglazed solar collector: A solar thermal collector that has an absorber that does not have a glazed covering. Solar swimming pool heater systems usually use unglazed collectors because they circulate relatively large volumes of water through the collector and capture nearly 80 percent of the solar energy available.
Uniform system of accounts: Prescribed financial rules and regulations established by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for utilities subject to its jurisdiction under the authority granted by the Federal Power Act.
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.): A political entity that consisted of 15 constituent republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. The U.S.S.R. ceased to exist as of December 31, 1991
Unit price: Total revenue derived from the sale of product during the reference month divided by the total volume sold; also known as the weighted average price. Total revenue should exclude all taxes but include transportation costs that were paid as part of the purchase price.
Unit value, consumption: Total price per specified unit, including all taxes, at the point of consumption.
Unit value, wellhead: The wellhead sales price, including charges for natural gas plant liquids subsequently removed from the gas; gathering and compression charges; and state production, severance, and/or similar charges.
United States: The 50 States and the District of Columbia. Note: The United States has varying degrees of jurisdiction over a number of territories and other political entities outside the 50 States and the District of Columbia, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Johnston Atoll, Midway Islands, Wake Island, and the Northern Mariana Islands. EIA data programs may include data from some or all of these areas in U.S. totals. For these programs, data products will contain notes explaining the extent of geographic coverage included under the term "United States."
Unleaded midgrade gasoline: See Gasoline grades.
Unleaded premium gasoline: See Gasoline grades.
Unleaded regular gasoline: See Gasoline grades.
Unprocessed gas: Natural gas that has not gone through a processing plant.
Unregulated Entity: For the purpose of EIA's data collection efforts, entities that do not have a designated franchised service area and that do not file forms listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 18, Part 141, are considered unregulated entities. This includes qualifying cogenerators, qualifying small power producers, and other generators that are not subject to rate regulation, such as independent power producers.
Unscheduled outage service: Power received by a system from another system to replace power from a generating unit forced out of service.
Uprate: An increase in available electric generating unit power capacity due to a system or equipment modification. An uprate is typically a permanent increase in the capacity of a unit.
Uranium (U): A heavy, naturally radioactive, metallic element (atomic number 92). Its two principally occurring isotopes are uranium-235 and uranium-238. Uranium-235 is indispensable to the nuclear industry because it is the only isotope existing in nature, to any appreciable extent, that is fissionable by thermal neutrons. Uranium-238 is also important because it absorbs neutrons to produce a radioactive isotope that subsequently decays to the isotope plutonium-239, which also is fissionable by thermal neutrons.
Uranium concentrate: A yellow or brown powder obtained by the milling of uranium ore, processing of in situ leach mining solutions, or as a byproduct of phosphoric acid production.
Uranium deposit: A discrete concentration of uranium mineralization that is of possible economic interest.
Uranium endowment: The uranium that is estimated to occur in rock with a grade of at least 0.01 percent U3O8. The estimate of the uranium endowment is made before consideration of economic availability of any associated uranium resources.
Uranium hexafluoride (UF6): A white solid obtained by chemical treatment of U3O8and which forms a vapor at temperatures above 56 degrees Centigrade. UF6 is the form of uranium required for the enrichment process.
Uranium importation: The actual physical movement of uranium from a location outside the United States to a location inside the United States.
Uranium mill: A plant where uranium is separated from ore taken from mines.
Uranium mill tailings: The sand-like materials left over from the separation of uranium from its ore. More than 99 percent of the ore becomes tailings.
Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRA) of 1978: The act that directed the Department of Energy to provide for stabilization and control of the uranium mill tailings from in active sites in a safe and environmentally sound manner to minimize radiation health hazards to the public. It authorized the Department to undertake remedial actions at 24 designated inactive uranium-processing sites and at an estimated 5,048 vicinity properties.
Uranium ore: Rock containing uranium mineralization in concentrations that can be mined economically, typically one to four pounds of U3O8 per ton or 0.05 percent to 0.2 percent U3O8.
Uranium oxide: Uranium concentrate or yellowcake. Abbreviated as U3O8.
Uranium property: A specific piece of land with uranium reserves that is held for the ultimate purpose of economically recovering the uranium. The land can be developed for production or undeveloped.
Uranium reserves: Estimated quantities of uranium in known mineral deposits of such size, grade, and configuration that the uranium could be recovered at or below a specified production cost with currently proven mining and processing technology and under current law and regulations. Reserves are based on direct radiometric and chemical measurements of drill holes and other types of sampling of the deposits. Mineral grades and thickness, spatial relationships, depths below the surface, mining and reclamation methods, distances to milling facilities, and amenability of ores to processing are considered in the evaluation. The amount of uranium in ore that could be exploited within the chosen forward-cost levels are estimated in accordance with conventional engineering practices.
Uranium resource categories (international): Three categories of uranium resources defined by the international community to reflect differing levels of confidence in the existence of the resources. Reasonably assured resources (RAR), estimated additional resources (EAR), and speculative resources (SR) are described below.
- Reasonably assured resources (RAR): Uranium that occurs in known mineral deposits of such size, grade, and configuration that it could be recovered within the given production cost ranges, with currently proven mining and processing technology. Estimates of tonnage and grade are based on specific sample data and measurements of the deposits and on knowledge of deposit characteristics. Note: RAR corresponds to DOE's uranium reserves category.
- Estimated additional resources (EAR): Uranium in addition to RAR that is expected to occur, mostly on the basis of geological evidence, in extensions of well-explored deposits, in little-explored deposits, and in undiscovered deposits believed to exist along well-defined geological trends with known deposits. This uranium can subsequently be recovered within the given cost ranges. Estimates of tonnage and grade are based on available sampling data and on knowledge of the deposit characteristics, as determined in the best-known parts of the deposit or in similar deposits. Note: EAR corresponds to DOE's probable potential resources category.
- Speculative resources (SR): Uranium in addition to EAR that is thought to exist, mostly on the basis of indirect evidence and geological extrapolations, in deposits discoverable with existing exploration techniques. The location of deposits in this category can generally be specified only as being somewhere within given regions or geological trends. The estimates in this category are less reliable than estimates of RAR and EAR. Note: SR corresponds to the combination of DOE's possible potential resources and speculative potential resources categories.
USACE (sometimes shortened to USCE in EIA tables): U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
USBR: United States Bureau of Reclamation.
Useage agreement: Contracts held by enrichment customers that allow feed material to be stored at the enrichment plant site in advance of need.
Used and useful: A concept used by regulators to determine whether an asset should be included in the utility's rate base. This concept requires that an asset currently provide or be capable of providing a needed service to customers.
Useful thermal output: The thermal energy made available in a combined-heat-and-power system for use in any industrial or commercial process, heating or cooling application, or delivered to other end users, i.e., total thermal energy made available for processes and applications other than electrical generation.
Utility: See Electric utility.
Utility demand-side management costs: The costs incurred by the utility to achieve the capacity and energy savings from the Demand-Side Management (DSM) Program. Costs incurred by consumers or third parties are to be excluded. The costs are to be reported in nominal dollars in the year in which they are incurred, regardless of when the savings occur. The utility costs are all the annual expenses (labor, administrative, equipment, incentives, marketing, monitoring and evaluation, and other) incurred by the utility for operation of the DSM Program, regardless of whether the costs are expensed or capitalized. Lump-sum capital costs (typically accrued over several years prior to start up) are not to be reported. Program costs associated with strategic load growth activities are also to be excluded.
Utility distribution companies: The entities that will continue to provide regulated services for the distribution of electricity to customers and serve customers who do not choose direct access. Regardless of where a consumer chooses to purchase power, the customer's current utility, also known as the utility distribution company, will deliver the power to the consumer.
Utility generation: Generation by electric systems engaged in selling electric energy to the public.
Utility-sponsored conservation program: Any program sponsored by an electric and/or natural gas utility to review equipment and construction features in buildings and advise on ways to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. Also included are utility-sponsored programs to encourage the use of more energy-efficient equipment. Included are programs to improve the energy efficiency in the lighting system or building equipment or the thermal efficiency of the building shell. Also see Demand-side management.

Derick Samson was 19 years old when he started getting national attention with his homebuilt customs, but he had already been working on cars for seven years.
It was a '62 Chevy wagon that first made people notice the young designer/builder from Marshall, Missouri, but that wasn't his first car. The first was a '51 Chevy he bought when he was 12 years old. It was a bottom-shelf 1951 Chevy Business Coupe, bought and built with help from his dad, Ken. "I learned how to do bodywork on it," he told us. He must have learned well, because the work Derick's done on the dozen or more cars he's built since (mostly '50s- and '60s-era Chevys) is earning him a rep as one of the best young builders out there.
In 2010, Derick decided to crank it up a notch by building a car to compete for the Ridler award at the 2011 Detroit Autorama. It didn't take him long to decide what to build. "What better car to do it with than my first car?" Typically, builders spend many months, even years, building cars to compete at this level. Derick transformed the '51 into an elite level contender in a short five months (and a lot of long days and nights). Most of the work was done at his shop, Samson Design. Most of the rest was done in partnership with other shops in Marshall.
He says the design theme all started with the trim piece on the center of the custom dash. The rib pattern and shield shape are repeated throughout the entire car. The circular gauge pod was created by McGraw Designs in Marshall and built by Derick. The two-seat design reflects the stock interior, but at a much higher level of class and detail. Rod Rogers at Stitches Interiors in Hillsdale, Kansas, upholstered the custom seats in "pretzel"-colored vintage vinyl with nostalgic-looking inserts, which are carried over to the custom door panels and center console. Behind the bench, a pair of luggage compartments combines coachbuilt class with Business Coupe function. The style continues in the trunk where a similar console to the one inside hides the gas filler.
The first thing you notice under the hood is the one-off dual air-cleaner setup and alternator shroud (there's the dash trim design again). The Chevy 355 was machined and assembled at Rick Darling Performance in Marshall, which has built the engines for other Samson projects. Derick ground the block and heads smooth and polished and chromed the bolts. The air cleaner feeds a single Edelbrock EnduraShine carburetor and manifold. The entirely custom exhaust includes polished headers and stainless exhaust pipes and mufflers. Derick kept the rest of the drivetrain mechanically straightforward with a Lokar-shifted TH350 transmission paired with a driveshaft built for the car by Heinzler Brothers in Marshall. The '57 Chevy limited-slip rear gears have a ratio of 3.73:1.
When modifying the suspension, Derick kept the factory frame, but he didn't keep it stock. The '51 'rails were smoothed, and seams were welded and molded, color-sanded, and polished until perfect. He strengthened the whole thing further with a custom crossmember that fits around the engine and transmission. The front A-arms were retained but the frontend was upgraded with Fatman 2-inch dropped spindles and disc brakes. Ken Samson built the four-link system for the rear and discs were added at that end too. Derick has been putting RideTech suspensions on many of his cars, and the '51 is the latest to use them. All fuel and brake line plumbing was done with polished copper, which looks great against the paint.
Whatever bodywork skills Derick learned on the Chevy when he was 12 really paid off. His design goal was to combine "elegant" and "simple." He left the top the stock height, but lengthened the hood, rockers, and decklid 3/4 inch each. The grille was smoothed, custom parking lights added, and all the panels were molded and shaved of trim pieces. The exceptions to all that clean sheetmetal is the trim where the body meets the top and the smoothed driprails. Derick finished the '51 with DuPont Premium Brown with bumpers and trim done in Sepaug Silver, a BMW color. He saved a little silver for the spokes of the Boss Motorsports wheels and added "Business Edition," custom caps, which match the center cap on the steering wheel. The 18- and 20-inch five-spokes are wrapped with low-profile Toyo rubber.
The Chevy was a success at the Detroit Autorama, winning a spot among the Great 8 finalists for the Ridler award, and winning even more attention for its designer/builder. At the age of 26, Derick is still a young gun. Expect to hear his name more, and see many more remarkable customs rolling out of Samson Design in the years to come.

Polythiophene doped with graphene oxide as in-tube solid phase microextraction phase

Tube solid phase microextraction (ITSPME) presents a higher efficiency than the classical SPME technique as the sample is continuously passed through the sorptive phase. Although conventional phases allow the extraction of neutral compounds, the extraction of ionic species is a little bit more complicated. Electrochemically controlled SPME, consisting on the application of an electric field during the analyte retention, makes possible these determinations. Electrochemically controlled SPME requires special coatings to be developed, where material conductivity is essential. Researchers from Tarbiat Modares University in Iran have recently proposed the use of polythiophene/graphene oxide composite in this context. The extraction, and further determination by liquid chromatography-UV detection (LC-UV), of amitriptyline and doxepin from biosamples (plasma and urine) has been used as model analytical problem.
The coating is synthesized over the inner surface of a stainless steel tube by the electropolymerization of a thiophene (monomer) solution containing graphene oxide (dopant) which is continuously recirculated using a pump. In such conditions the coating thickness can be well controlled as it is deduced from the precision of the measurements. The scanning electron microscopy pictures clearly demonstrated the effect of the inclusion of GO in the polymer structure.
Once the tube is synthesized, it is applied to the extraction of the samples. A dedicated manifold that allows the direct coupling of the extraction with the LC is also proposed by the authors. The retention of the cationic analytes over the coating requires the application of a negative potential in the tube while the elution is enhanced by the application of a positive potential. The developed extraction requires 21 min per sample and it provides, in combination with LC-UV, limits of detection as low as 0.3 µg/L with relative standard deviations better than 3.9 %.
