As a part of its contractual agreement with the DOE, the Lab is expected to report certain types of incidents within 2 hours of discovery. In order to produce such a rapid response, it is very important for each staff member and user to promptly report to the NSLS all occurrences that have the potential for safety significance or meet other criteria identified below. Some of these events will be obvious to you; others that we are required to report may not be as clear at the time of discovery and will require review by NSLS and other Lab staff to determine reportability. The NSLS ESH Staff provides coordination of the reporting process. Please make sure that all unusual events are promptly reported to your supervision (by staff) or to the NSLS Control Room (by Users) at any time of the day so that the evaluation and reporting process (if warranted) can be initiated. Categories of reportable events and examples of actual incidents that require reporting to DOE within 2 hours of discovery are given below.
The list below provides examples of operational incidents that have occurred in the past. Some of these did not meet the DOE reporting criteria. Others did. The 2 hour reporting rule for an event can be highly dependent on the circumstances and consequences of the incident. Each event needs review so be sure to promptly report unusual events to your supervisor or to the Control Room to initiate the review process.
Please do not hesitate to report an event. The purpose is to make sure that the issue has been safely addressed and that lessons learned from the event can be passed onto others.

There's darkness at the end of this abandoned mine tunnel.
Outside there is sunlight and greenery and gentle breezes, but down here it is dark, damp and musty. Tunnels snake off around unlit corners, and no one knows for sure what lurks in the darkness. It's an unnerving feeling being seemingly so far away from the world above. Fortunately for us, though, we're only visitors – and vicarious ones at that – here out of interest rather than necessity. Yet it was a very different story for those who once labored here, mining for the minerals that were – and still are – so plentiful in this region.

A Simple Guide to the Best Shampoos for Hair Growth
Hair loss and thinning of the hair are certainly problems many people face as they get older. Of course this can be anything but attractive. Therefore, these people are seeking solutions to this problem. The idea solution is to find the best shampoo for hair growth in order to remedy this problem.
Choosing the best shampoo for hair growth can be a bit of a challenge, considering that there are many different brands that claim to have the solution to hair loss prevention. Unfortunately many of the products recommended use hazardous ingredients that could potentially cause more hair loss.
Before choosing the right shampoo for hair growth, one must consciously review the ingredients listed on any given product, in order to see which will actually solve the riddle that is hair loss and hair thinning.
Before Deciding on the Best Shampoo for Hair Growth
Fortunately with today's technological advances there is a solution for thinning hair and blading, alike. This is great news for people suffering from this rather common condition. Of course there are numerous products out there that claim to help out in this situation. But with so many choices it can be intimidating choosing the right shampoo.
Before making a decision on which shampoo is best for hair growth be sure to consider three things:
- The Safety of the Ingredients
- The Effectiveness of the Shampoo
- The Speed of the Results
Safety of the Ingredients
The best hair growth shampoos should contain all natural and organic ingredients. Like all products applied to the skin, the best ones do not have any artificial ingredients and other harmful chemicals. Luckily most products are required to give a detailed explanation of what they consist of.
Obviously a shampoo with organic elements will yield the best and safest results for growing thicker, more beautiful hair. These ingredients are intended to work at the hair follicle level; since it works at the root level the user will receive maximum results in the safest manner.
Effectiveness of the Shampoo
The best way to determine the effectiveness of a shampoo before using it is to investigate other customer reviews online. Look to see what other people are saying about the product.
Did it work for them? Were they suffering from the same problems? Would they suggest the product to their friends and family who are in need of hair regrowth?
By doing some research one should be able to determine if it is the best shampoo for hair growth or not. If it doesn't meet the criteria than it would be suggested to move on and begin looking into an alternative product.
Speed of the Results
Nowadays people want solutions to their problems as quickly as they can. Hair growth is no different. So naturally the speed in which the user will experience results is extremely important.
The primary objective in doing research for the best shampoo for growing hair is how long it will take until the user begins seeing results. If the suggested time line does not meet the criteria than move on and seek an alternative product that works more rapidly.
Recommend Brands for Shampoo
Again there are so many products to choose from in this category; so here are some suggested brands to get someone, looking for hair growth shampoo, pointed in the right direction. This is a list of the top 5-bestselling hair regrowth shampoos:
- Pura d'or Hair Loss Prevention Premium Organic Shampoo – Brown and Blue: This product was voted number 1 for the last two years running. It is intended to increase the volume of the user's hair and supports healthy hair growth. It has a DHT blocker but does not use sulfates, parabens, DEA, or any other harsh chemicals.
- Phytoworx Organic Hair Loss Shampoo – With Plant Stem Cells for Hair Recovery and Regrowth: This shampoo has a plant stem cell organic blend, which originated in Switzerland tailored towards hair regrowth, and contains essential oils that science has proven to help prevent further hair loss. It is made with 100% organic ingredients and is sulfate free.
- Ultrax Labs Hair Surge Caffeine Hair Loss Hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo: Ultrax infuses this shampoo with their patent micro blend caffeine and was top rated for 2013 for hair regrowth. Their research shows that this blend of caffeine has shown effective in reducing hair loss, increasing hair growth, and blocking the effects that testosterone have on the skin. This product also contains .2 percent of Ketoconazole.
- DS Laboratories Revita hair Growth Stimulating Shampoo: DS Labs shampoo consists of gentle and chemical free ingredients. This shampoo works to preserve molecular integrity and bioactivity of the hair regrowth process.
- Bosley Bos Revive Nourishing Shampoo for Visibly Thinning Color-Treated Hair: This hair care product reconditions hair while rejuvenating the scalp and hair follicles. Bosely uses a formula that is free of sulfate and helps to remove toxins on the skin. It contains both saw palmetto extract and pentapeptides to promote fuller, thinning hair.
Final Analysis of Hair Growth Shampoo
When considering the best shampoo for hair regrowth it is of utmost importance to find something that is okay to use on a regular basis. Also, the experts recommend using a shampoo and its complimentary conditioner in order expedite the process of hair regrowth.
Many of the users of the shampoos listed above were extremely satisfied with the results they received from these products and many stated that they would recommend them to others suffering from hair loss and thinning. There is no use to remain hidden underneath a hat or being ashamed of a lack of hair. Hair loss and thinning are things of the past, it's time to regain confidence and flaunt a luscious head of hair!

Interview: Tyler Hanan [2/18/11]
Evan Patterson, guitarist and vocalist of Young Widows, was kind enough to take the time to talk with me concerning their new album, In and Out of Youth and Lightness (out April 12th on Temporary Residence), the recording process, their upcoming tour, and many other things. After the jump, you can read the whole of the lengthy, informative talk.
Tyler Hanan: You and your band, Young Widows, have a new album coming out on April 12th, In and Out of Youth and Lightness. Why don't you tell us about what direction you've taken with this album, because in the past you guys have made a point to try to expand beyond the bands you're compared with. What approaches have you taken?
Evan Patterson: This record honestly is even a little bit more further so out onto our own. For the past couple years I've listened to less heavier music and to more classic rock, and more things beyond what I have been influenced by in the past. With this new record, it's kind of more of an idea about setting a mood and writing a more cohesive piece than just making a bunch of songs that hold up on their own, if that makes any sense. Instead of like… each song has its own place on the record, even though we didn't write it as a record… it came out great. It's the most excited I've been about anything I've ever done.
TH: Last time, with Old Wounds, you had a recording process with Kurt from Converge where you mixed live recordings with studio ones. You decided to go a different route this time, getting Kevin Ratterman as your producer and going to The Funeral Home in Louisville. What can you tell us about that recording process? How was it compared to Old Wounds?
EP: Yeah, the recording… sorry, every time we record I generally have had issues with the recording or the process. Doing all the live stuff with Kurt, it was fun, but the process of getting to the studio… We did four live shows on the way to his studio, then picked out our favorite parts, we went through that. You know, it was an awesome process to do, but it was… you know, I've never heard of someone doing that for a proper album.
But, in the long run, it was extremely stressful. Now we're at home, we haven't been touring much, and Kevin is a guy I've known. One of my first band recorded with him when I was fifteen. I just knew our working relationship would be relaxed, we'd get some more time with the recording. His setup is great. He has a second floor of a funeral home, and there's a huge porch outside. It almost felt more like of a vacation than it did working. When we were doing Old Wounds it was highly stressful, we were spending money ever day just being there. Here, we actually got to work our jobs and go there afterward, it was great. We actually took a long break in the middle of it.
Working with Kevin is really great because we got to experiment more with doing things in the studio. Like, there's a lot of parts. Most of the record, I did two parts for almost every song. There's a lower track, and a more regular track. I would normally sing a lot of doubles, for some parts I did even four or five vocal parts. We did acoustic overdubs for almost every song, and lots of drum doubling. We pretty much did everything we though we could do without completely having our studio album be completely different from the live show. But it was a great time, honestly I feel like just because we had such a good time, and what came out as the final outcome was so great, we'll probably work with him again next time.
TH: You guys recorded seventeen songs?
EP: Yeah, we actually recorded seventeen, but two of them didn't even get vocals, we only mixed thirteen. We had a really hard time figuring out the sequence, just because you almost get an attachment to a song you've had for so long. Three of the songs that didn't end up being on the record we've been playing live for almost two years. But the newer stuff we've been writing, even the month beforehand, has been coming out better. I guess I wouldn't say better, but just more in the direction we wanted to go. A lot of the newer songs were just coming out more our own.
That was the things, like I can sit and list an influence of a guitar part or an idea of a song that I was not necessarily ripping off another song, but I was more like, 'Oh, I want to go this direction, I want to have like a Gang of Four mixed with a Joy Division song,' or something like that. With the newer stuff, it was more natural. We would sit around our rehearsal space and just jam parts for a really long time, until they just kind of eventually made songs. Those were the ones we were more happy with.
TH: You have the nine songs on the record. Another one has been released with "Future Heart" as a single with Temporary Residence. Are there any plans to release the others as b-sides or singles?
EP: We keep toying around with the idea of doing a split series again, like we did with the last record. But I don't know. We kind of felt like last time, Pelican, Melt Banana, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, was a huge highlight for me. My Disco, it was kind of their introduction to the label, and now Temporary Residence is working with them. But I have a couple long-shots that I want to ask, a couple artist.If we can get these favorite artists of mine to work with, then we'll probably do the split series. But if we don't, we'll probably just hold onto them and do some random single probably in the future, or even just put out a collection somewhere down the line.
TH: Now you mentioned Temporary Residence, your label; they released Old Wounds as well. How has that experience been? I know you used to be on Jade Tree, and then with Breather Resist you were on Deathwish. How has your experience been on Temporary Residence compared to past experiences?
EP: Great. I mean, Jeremy [deVine], who runs the label, is from Louisville, where we're from. It's a very specific personality. Everyone's kinda laid back, and a lot of the drama and business that goes along with music and doing bands… it doesn't exist as much here. Everyone just kind of does their own thing, and it's more based around the artistic side other than where you fit into things. And working with him has been great. Jade Tree is kind of losing their steam, and Deathwish was always more of a hardcore-specific label. Which was fine, at the time. But as you get older and as your song-writing expands, it's been a pleasure to work with Jeremy, who puts out a wide variety of music, and not just focusing on one genre. He's great, he's actually in town right now. I'm working on some turnback submissions with him right now at my screen-printing shop. I have nothing but good things to say about him.
And working with Jade Tree was great as well, they just kind of… It hit them really hard when the digital revolution of music hit and record sales dropped. They couldn't really handle that. The label was based around pop bands, more or less, like The Promise Ring, David Bazan, Pedro the Lion, Denali, all those bands that were selling probably 50-100 thousand records. When everything went digital, all those bands broke up. The label just kind of lost steam.
TH: After the record, your site says North American dates coming soon. Could you give us any hints or teasers as to when exactly it will be, dates, bands…?
EP: The end of April, we're going to do a record release show here in town, then two weeks east coast. We're taking out My Disco again. Then we're taking a two week break and doing the west coast after that for about two weeks. It's going to be My Disco and us, they're going to be supporting us, and trying to get local bands. That's kind of more of an issue for us, getting good local bands in every town, and not just having a promoter put on this band it thinks is going draw people because.. I don't know. Because we want to bring out people we want to play with. You know, current musicians that are valid and making good music.
TH: What kind of setlist can we expect? I imagine it's pretty heavy on the new stuff.
EP: That's something we haven't even talked about lately. The past couple shows we've played, we've just kind of been improv-ing the set, not writing a setlist and winging it, and it's kind of gone all over the place. I really enjoyed that. We have a nice catalog of songs right now We've just been calling out the song after the song ends, so it's kind of all up in the air. So far it's pretty heavy on the new stuff, but we've actually gone back and tried to relearn a couple songs off Settle Down City. But our drummer [Jeremy McMonigle] he wasn't on that record, so it's kind of a weird process learning those songs.
I still look at that record as being a demo, 'cause we recorded that before we even played a show, and that was my first attempt at even singing in a band. I've been playing guitar since I was thirteen, and I'd never sang in a band. I kind of just jumped into it. I feel now, finally, I'm much more confident and have a firmer grip on writing lyrics and putting vocals to music rather than when we first started, I had no clue. I was just winging it.
TH: You've said only good things about Louisville so far. Are you active in the scene there?
EP: Louisville's such a small city that there's not really much of a scene. I mean it's so small. The group of people that care about independent music and our music scene is just… A really big show here is two hundred or three hundred people; that's like everyone in town that gives a shit about anything we're doing. At one point I was way more involved in shows and doing things like that.
At one point I was more involved than I am now with helping out with the scene and getting more people to come out to shows and that type of thing, but I reached a point. I feel like age, to a degree, it kind of gets out of your hands. You can only do so much. But we still play here often, and old friends, when they want to come through, I'll do my best to set up a show for them. You know I work at the local screen-printing shop here, and we print for tons of bands, and we pretty much do every local band's shirt. So that's probably the most I can be involved anymore.
TH: That leads into my next question. Obviously, very few bands can live off of just being in a band. What are your lives like outside of the band, like jobs?
EP: Yeah, I screen-print, and it kind of funds me playing music because it's an extremely laid-back job. And I've been lucky enough to have been doing this for almost eleven years, and I'll just go on tour and come back and I'll have a job. Nick's a pharmacy tech, and he's been doing that almost as long as I've been screen-printing. Our drummer actually, he works at Target. (laughs) He's into the corporate thing. He hates the job, but somehow they've let him off for all his tours, and he just kinda sticks with it.
TH: Speaking of screen-printing, for the singles there were three different covers. Didn't you do the work for that?
EP: Yeah, I screen-printed the covers. Actually, it's just some of the art for the cover of the record we kinda took and modified, and I made three different covers. It was actually really convenient because I printed the sheets three up, so there were three different covers on each sheet. So I guess there were three different cover options. And then I printed them all, and we cut them individually. I had to individually score them and fold them. Actually, they're sitting here right next to me, I gotta ship them out to be printer assembled. It's one of those things. I always love when bands do any kind of limited art run. I'm not as much into colored vinyl as I once was, but I still love a limited cover.
TH: I was wondering as I looked at your records, the last ones, the covers are all weird faces. Is there a reason for that?
EP: It's just kind of one of those things. I did art, you know I painted and sculpted and all that kind of thing throughout my entire childhood. I've always been into something very iconic, like a face. It's traditional, like having a skull with the band art. I've always been into that concept of having something extremely bold that you can identify with and see anywhere. I'm kind of just riding that idea.
I have this vision of years down the line, looking at a collection of records and having them all look extremely cohesive, as part of a collection, other than just having every record be something different, a new idea. As a collector (I'm a huge vinyl collector) I love when bands have some sort of reflection of their last album or something that makes you connect with it more. You're excited to see something that still along the same lines. You don't see it and be like, 'what is this new cover, it's something completely unattractive, it doesn't appeal to me." So this way we can just have this idea and set the format for our entire history, which I think is exciting.
TH: I have just one more question. I like to ask bands what kind of music they themselves listen to, it's something that is interesting to me. You mentioned earlier that you're getting back into classic rock. What would you say appeals to you? What have you always been attracted to? What new music lately have you been listening to?
EP: It's funny, in the past two years I've gotten way into Pink Floyd's Animals, more than I have been. I listened to it years ago, when I was younger, but that was before I really could get a grip on musically what was going on because there was so much going on; the longer songs, and that whole style of guitar playing. I really have gotten way more into David Gilmore's style of playing. I don't think of him as a 'rock guitar player,' he's just kind of a guy who knows when to play and how to set a mood. I listen to a lot of that era of 70's rock. I just went to a guy's house yesterday and bought the first Bee Gee's record on vinyl, the second Judas Priest record. I'm way into rock and roll, like the first Judas Priest record.
And even when it comes to metal now-a-days, modern metal to me isn't super-appealing. I haven't heard a band in years that is doing something. Early Slayer, early Metallica, early Judas Priest, Black Sabbath records, those bands I feel just did it so well. At this point, unless you're playing some new kind of metal… They just took it to this level that I don't think anyone else has been able to take it to since then. So I listen to a lot of that.
I'm a huge Nick Cave fan. I've seen Grinderman on their past two tours. They're great. You know, he's a guy who just constantly puts out new music, regardless of what you expect him to do. You know, he starts a noisy rock band in between Bad Seeds records, they tour in between Bad Seeds tours. I think that's great. Swans got back together in the past year, they put out a great record. Michael Deare, the last Angelo White records was one of my favorite records ever. There's Bill Callahan, he did Smog, he put out a newer solo record last year, it was great. There's a lot of newer music, but I guess a lot of the newer music I like is guys who've been playing music for a decade already.

Nadakavukaren JJ, Ingermann RL, Jeddeloh G, and Falkowski SJ. Seasonal Variation of Arsenic Concentration in Well Water in Lane County, Oregon Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology. 1984 Sep; 33(3): 264-269.
Tchounwou PB, Centeno JA, and Patlolla AK. Arsenic Toxicity, Mutagenesis, and CarcinogenesisA Health Risk Assessment and Management Approach. Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. 2004 Jan; 255(1-2): 47-55.
(reviewed by Grace Wang)
The Nadakavukaren et al. paper describes a study of variations of arsenic concentrations of water samples from 14 water wells in rural areas of Lane County conducted over a period of 13 months in 1975 and 1976. The 14 wells in this study serve local residents for garden, irrigation, and domestic purposes. They are chosen for this study based on a history of high arsenic levels, though none is near agricultural arsenic sources. The authors use atomic absorption spectroscopy to measure arsenic levels in water samples. In most of the wells, they report an observed general trend of fluctuating arsenic levels following a seasonal pattern: higher in summer, lower in winter. In many of the wells, the arsenic concentration reaches as high as 2 ppm, greatly exceeding the maximum limit of 0.05 ppm set by the U.S. Public Health Service. Furthermore, the varying pattern coincides with rainfall pattern in the area (high precipitation in winter, low in summer). To determine whether or not the lower arsenic level in winter is due to surface rainwater dilution, they measure the concentration of coliform bacteria, which are associated with surface water. The results suggest that dilution was not a significant factor in the drop of well-water arsenic level in winter. A few wells do not follow the trend, their arsenic levels remain constant throughout the study. The authors concluded that well water arsenic concentration in Lane County vary seasonally. While they suggest that aquifer, water usage, and water depth may contribute to the observed variations, they do not have enough evidence to accurately determine the cause of variations.
Tchounwou et al. present a comprehensive review of the effect of arsenic on human health and current methods of risk assessment and management. People in many areas of the world are subject to chronic arsenic exposure. Arsenic comes from both industrial and natural sources. Exposure to arsenic by inhalation, dermal contact, and ingestion can have severe effects on human health, including various forms of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases. Although precise molecular mechanisms of arsenic's carcinogenic activities are yet unknown, in vitro studies have shown that arsenic inactivates enzymes (particularly mitochondrial enzymes). In addition, it causes genome instability, oxidative stress, altered growth factors, resulting in abnormal cell morphology as observed in cell cultures. The authors urge further study in dose-response relationship between exposure to arsenic and cancer formation. Current research is also studying potential treatments of arsenic poisoning, including a promising chelation treatment.Critique
The Nadakavukaren et al. paper is a good source of historical information. It is relevant to our project because it is specific to our local water supplies. The conclusions of the paper are based on data analysis, thus is reliable. However, the major drawback of the study is that although it offers a trend in seasonal variation of arsenic levels in well water, it does not provide adequate explanation of the observations. Furthermore, this study was conducted thirty years ago. Since then, there have been changes in water regulation, pollution sources, and possibly precipitation patterns; these changes could cause a change in current arsenic variation patterns. Also, it does not directly address arsenic levels in the Willamette River. It would be helpful to find a follow-up study, or a similar study of water in the Willamette River. Also, the paper would be more valuable if additional geographical sources of groundwater distribution can show a positive relationship between well water in Lane County and the Willamette River.
The Tchounwou et al. review is an excellent supplementary paper to the Nadakavukaren et al. paper. While the previous paper reveals that arsenic is found in local water supplies, this review directly addresses the effects of arsenic (especially arsenic in drinking water) on human health. The reported findings should be reliable because they consist of results from many different laboratories. Since this study is published in 2004, the information is up to date. This paper provides excellent descriptions of diseases caused by arsenic poisoning, and even some molecular mechanisms of arsenic activity in biological systems. Also, it covers a broad range of topics, from arsenic pollution sources and effects on humans to exposure assessment and risk management. One drawback is that the language is fairly scientific and the text includes many jargons, such that it may be difficult for readers who are not familiar with background knowledge in chemistry, molecular biology, and physiology.

When a person scans a QR code using their mobile phone, they will often be directed to a particular website address. (Note: most smart phones are capable of reading QR Codes, as long as they have the appropriate barcode scanner app).
MaxiCodes are a public domain code used by some postal services for tracking parcels – the bulls eye in the centre enables scanners to be able to read the code even when the parcel is traveling very quickly.
Aztec Code:
Aztec Codes are 2D barcodes that have been released to the public domain. They are primarily used by transport providers around the world. Aztec Codes are used on tickets sent to mobile phone devices, tickets purchased online, and on self print tickets. The codes are usually scanned on board the train (or transport vehicle). Recently the airline industry has also chosen to use the Aztec Code on its electronic boarding passes.
Data Matrix Code:
Data Matrix Codes are primarily used for marking small items, because they can encode fifty characters in a symbol that is readable at 2 or 3 mm, and they can be read with only a 20% contrast ratio. Data Matrix Codes are often used on engineering components, so that the correct part can easily be identified during manufacturing.

How about a Super Bowl party with a purpose?
The 26th Annual "Taste of the NFL" cooking competition was held in Brooklyn on the eve of the big game.
Chefs from the 32 cities that have NFL teams cooked up a storm to support local food pantries.
"We want to feed all of the hungry in all of the NFL cities, along with the other things Taste of NFL does. So I'm just glad to be part of it. And I have been a part of it for years," said NFL Hall of Famer Floyd Little.
"The nice thing about having this in New York is that a lot the New York City and New Jersey food shelters are going to benefit from it. We're gonna raise a lot of money and we're going to feed a lot of people," said former Giant Bill Ard.
To date, Taste of the NFL has distributed over $14 million to campaigns that fight hunger.

2007 Federal Managers Survey on Performance and Management Issues: (GAO-08-1036SP, July 2008), an E-supplement to GAO-08-1026T
GAO-08-1036SP: Published: Jul 24, 2008. Publicly Released: Jul 24, 2008.

(202) 512-4800
This e-publication supplements our testimony GAO-08-1026T by presenting the item by item results of our web-based survey of federal managers which was conducted between October, 2007 and January, 2008. The purpose of the survey was to update information obtained from three previous GAO surveys of federal managers conducted over the last decade. The questionnaire was designed to obtain the observations and perceptions of respondents on various aspects of such results-oriented management topics as the presence and use of performance measures, hindrances to measuring performance and using performance information, and agency climate. In addition, the questionnaire included a section requesting respondents' views on the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) and the priority that should be placed on various potential improvements to it. The questionnaire was administered to a stratified random probability sample of 4,412 persons from a population of approximately 107,326 mid-level and upper-level civilian managers and supervisors working in the 24 executive branch agencies covered by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 (CFO). Survey stratification by agency included an additional breakout of 5 selected agencies that are components of the CFO Act agencies. We received useable questionnaires from about 70 percent of the eligible sample. The response rate across the 29 agencies ranged from 55 percent to 84 percent. This e-publication presents the weighted survey percentages for all respondents, i.e., government-wide, and for each of the 29 agencies. The unweighted number of respondents for each item is also shown. See the report referenced above for a more detailed discussion of our scope and methodology as well as a discussion of survey results. Please note that for questions 15 through 19 in the PART section, only respondents who indicated on question 14 at the beginning of the PART section that they had low to extensive knowledge of the PART were instructed to complete the remaining PART items. The "No response" category includes all other respondents who were instructed to skip these questions. Also, for these items, we do not display responses by individual agency due to the low number of respondents at some agencies. We conducted our work in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives.

In late April 1968, I was awaiting orders for a transfer from HHC, 11th Brigade, to Company E, 51st Inf. (LRP), when I happened to run into Pfc. "Butch" Gruver, whom I had known in Hawaii. Gruver told me he had been assigned to C Company, 1st of the 20th, until April 1, when he transferred to the unit that I was headed for. During the course of our conversation, he told me the first of many reports I was to hear of "Pinkville."
"Charlie" Company 1/20 had been assigned to Task Force Barker in late February 1968 to help conduct "search and destroy" operations on the Batangan Peninsula, Barker's area of operation. The task force was operating out of L.F. Dottie, located five or six miles north of Quang Ngai city on Vietnamese National Highway 1. Gruver said that Charlie Company had sustained casualties, primarily from mines and booby traps, almost everyday from the first day they arrived on the peninsula. One village area was particularly troublesome and seemed to be infested with booby traps and enemy soldiers. It was located about six miles northeast of Quang Ngai city at approximate coordinates B.S. 728795. It was a notorious area, and the men of Task Force Barker had a special name for it: They called it "Pinkville." One morning in the latter part of March, Task Force Barker moved out from its firebase headed for "Pinkville." Its mission: destroy the trouble spot and all of its inhabitants.
When "Butch" told me this I didn't quite believe that what he was telling me was true, but he assured me that it was and went on to describe what had happened. The other two companies that made up the task force cordoned off the village so that Charlie Company could move through to destroy the structures and kill the inhabitants. Any villagers who ran from Charlie Company were stopped by the encircling companies. I asked "Butch" several times if all the people were killed. He said that he thought they were, men, women, and children. He recalled seeing a small boy, about three or four years old, standing by the trail with a gunshot wound in one arm. The boy was clutching his wounded arm with his other hand while blood trickled between his fingers. He was staring around himself in shock and disbelief at what he saw. "He just stood there with big eyes staring around like he didn't understand; he didn't believe what was happening. Then the captain's RTO [radio operator] put a burst of 16 [M-16 rifle] fire into him." It was so bad, Gruver said, that one of the men in his squad shot himself in the foot in order to be medivaced out of the area so that he would not have to participate in the slaughter. Although he had not seen it, Gruver had been told by people he considered trustworthy that one of the company's officers, Second Lieutenant Kally (this spelling may be incorrect) had rounded up several groups of villagers (each group consisting of a minimum of twenty persons of both sexes and all ages). According to the story, Kally then machine-gunned each group. Gruver estimated that the population of the village had been three to four hundred people and that very few, if any, escaped.
Terry and Doherty had been in the same squad, and their platoon was the third platoon of C Company to pass through the village. Most of the people they came to were already dead. Those that weren't were sought out and shot. The platoon left nothing alive, neither livestock nor people. Around noon, the two soldiers' squads stopped to eat. "Billy and I started to get our chow," Terry said, "but close to us was a bunch of Vietnamese in a heap, and some of them were moaning. Kally had been through before us, and all of them had been shot, but many weren't dead. It was obvious that they weren't going to get any medical attention, so Billy and I got up and went over to where they were. I guess we sort of finished them off." Terry went on to say that he and Doherty then returned to where their packs were and ate lunch.
It was June before I spoke to anyone who had something of significance to add to what I had already been told of the "Pinkville" incident. It was the end of June 1968 when I ran into Sergeant Larry La Croix at the USO in Chu Lai. La Croix had been in Second Lt. Kally's platoon on the day Task Force Barker swept through "Pinkville." What he told me verified the stories of the others, but he also had something new to add. He had been a witness to Kally's gunning down of at least three separate groups of villagers. "It was terrible. They were slaughtering the villagers like so many sheep." Kally's men were dragging people out of bunkers and hootches and putting them together in a group. The people in the group were men, women, and children of all ages. As soon as he felt that the group was big enough, Kally ordered an M-60 [machine-gun] set up and the people killed. La Croix said that he bore witness to this procedure at least three times. The three groups were of different sizes: one of about twenty people, one of about thirty people, and one of about forty people. When the first group was put together Kally ordered Pfc. Torres to man the machine-gun and open fire on the villagers that had been grouped together. This Torres did, but before everyone in the group was down, he ceased fire and refused to fire again. After ordering Torres to recommence firing several times, Lieutenant Kally took over the M-60 and finished shooting the remaining villagers in that first group himself. Sergeant La Croix told me that Kally didn't bother to order anyone to take the machine-gun when the other two groups of villagers were formed. He simply manned it himself and shot down all villagers in both groups.

MIAMI (WFLX) - Prosecutors in Florida say they will seek the death penalty against the couple accused in the slaying of their 10-year-old adopted daughter.
Prosecutor Gail Levine made the announcement Monday morning as Jorge and Carmen Barahona appeared in a Miami-Dade County courtroom. The Barahonas, who face first-degree murder charges and a slew of child abuse and neglect charges, both pleaded not guilty.
Jorge Barahona cried in court on Monday and wore a vest used for inmates on suicide watch. Carmen Barahona didn't show any emotion.
Authorities say, for months, the parents hit twins Victor and Nubia with a shoe, whip or broom, bound their hands and feet, and locked them in a bathroom, sometimes for days.
Nubia's body was found on Valentine's Day in the back of Jorge Barahona's truck. Victor, who survived, was doused in a toxic chemical.
A mother of one of Nubia's old classmates named Joanne Muniz came to the arraignment. "It will be sweet justice because Nubia's not here, no matter what they do to the parents, Nubia's not here," said Muniz.
A judge set a trial date of July 18th in Miami-Dade court.

Very good! Used it for barbecued chicken and it was delicious.
Tangy Coffee Barbecue Sauce
rquinnett Posted: 07/11/11
EllenDeller Posted: 04/25/12
Loved this sauce. No reason to buy jars of barbecue sauce if it's this easy. I made 1/3 the recipe (there are only two of us) with leftover breakfast coffee, covered a cookie sheet with foil, then cooking spray. Brushed sauce on chicken leg quarters and roasted for 1 hour in a 375 oven with sweet potatoes, put asparagus next to chicken and potoatoes for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Squeezed lemon juice over everything with plenty of black pepper and garlic salt. Fabulous, easy, no clean up.

PARIS (AP) -- The French foreign minister says France will float a new resolution in the U.N. Security Council to help bring humanitarian aid, food and medicine to Syria's embattled people.
Laurent Fabius says France is working with "a whole series of nations" on the proposal but didn't provide details of the planned text.
Speaking Monday on RTL radio, Fabius did not mention France's longstanding hope to establish an aid corridor in Syria, a proposition that ran aground because of a lack of international consensus.
The comments come after hundreds of civilians were evacuated from the besieged city of Homs as part of a rare three-day truce.

Umm, well. Hi everyone! I've been lurking this site for a couple of weeks now, but I decided to stop that to become more social on this site.
Well, I'm gonna be an avid main, so I hope this site can be of great help to become a better player when the game comes out. I only have experience playing Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 and KOF XIII, and I'm not THAT good anyways, so...
Oh, and I'm also obviously a big fan of Persona 4 and other SMT games in general, why is Atlus that good at making RPG's I wonder?
So, I hope we can get along

What about giving female Horde characters more face options? Most Undead, Orc, and Troll females sport one or two faces because the rest of them are ugly. You have similar "ugly" options for Alliances races but they have far more prettier faces. Let's have some parity here!

Learning from SMX West (Without Actually Having to Be There): Day 1 #smxwestWednesday, February 11th, 2009
Thanks to Barry Schwartz and Keri Morgret from Search Engine Roundtable for taking the time to live blog many of the SMX West sessions! Here are a few of my notes from Tuesday, Day 1…
Technical SEO Issues for Developers
(Archived version from SE Roundtable)
- Disallow certain forms from being crawled (like Contact Us page)
- Use Webmaster Tools
- Need both human and XML sitemaps
- Canonicalization (www vs. non-www issues) fix: stay the same throughout the site; the fix when someone links to the wrong version: redirect it
- Meta/title tags: HAVE them, CHANGE them
- Be simple. Use static HTML, meaningful page titles, clear anchor text, don't link to spam.
- Brevity is GOOD for URL's, make them simple, stable, and scream COPY ME!
- Improve crawler discovery by leveraging robots.txt (use only if fully understood, validate with Google), sitemap, and metatags
- Use Yahoo Site Exploreer and Google cache to see what's indexed
- Use easy-to-crawl and search friendly URLs, keep titles and content close to the top
- iFrames = good for gadgets, bad for homepage
- Eye tracking software results: put your BEST keywords FIRST in the title tag (people read them first, and don't always read all the way to the right)
- Absolute URLs = BETTER
Up Close with Google Maps & Local
(Archived version from SE Roundtable)
- Google Local data from:
1. Google Local Business Center
2. 3rd party providers
3. General web crawl
- Submit/verify your site at: infoUSA, Localeze, Yahoo, Best of the Web, OpenList, CityVoter, InsiderPages, SuperPages
- Search for "your city and blog" for good blogs in your area
- Factors that influence Local rankings:
1. Proximity to city
2. Reviews, number of reviews, positive reviews
3. Overall SEO health of site
4. Keyword relevancy
- Make sure your address is on your homepage, contact us page, etc.
- If you have multiple locations, submit them ALL to local sites; you still only need ONE website
- No permanent address? Use a PO Box.
- Claim listings with ALL applicable categories
- Add videos!!
- Track calls for free:
- Pretend to start a Google AdWords account
- Go to Audio Campaign page
- Get free phone number
- Track calls!
- Large companies with multiple locations: create landing pages for geographic locations
- One speaker encourages customers to follow up with work done with local reviews with Visa coupon incentives for next services
- Remember – you CAN report Google Maps spam! (They welcome it!)

I am a single mother of two girls. No child support. I work 40 hours a week at 8.66 an hour and also take care of my mother who had a stroke a few years ago. I am sooo behind on my bills that everything is in disconnect status. Luckily I have a landlord that works with me and doesn't kick me out when I am 500 dollars short like I am now. I can barely buy gas for my car, let alone clothes for my children. I was going to college full time and now have had to take a break, so that I can find a second part time job or a second full time job. Let me tell you that I am not driving an amazing car. My hair when it gets done my friend does it so it cost me nothing. I have one pair of work pants. I was wearing slippers to work until the toes popped out, Then an amazing person that comes to the store brought me a pair of tennis shoes. I have a zip up sweat shirt that I use as a winter jacket. I live in DENVER! When I actually get a break I feel guilty. SO if I get something I take it back so I can get my kids something. I work my butt off and that is never going to change. I am blessed to have what I have and thankful for what I do and don't. Things get better and worse daily and I am okay right now. I have a roof, food and love. I know that there are tons of people that have it way worse than me. IF YOU ARE AGAINST RAISING MINIMUM WAGE..............TRY WORKING FOR IT.
I'm so tired of all this nonsense.
When I got my first real job minimum wage was $1.40 in 1967. I had no problems with paying all my bills and having some money left over each month (of course I was still single). Find a site that has an inflation calculators (there are a number of them) and plug in 1967 and $1.40. See what you get for 2013 dollars? Here's a hint - $9.80.
Don't know why none these talking heads on NBC, MSNBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, CBS, ABC don't simply put this fact out.
What a coincidence!
The states with the highest minimum wage also have some of the highest cost's of living.
So, even though you may make $10 an hour, you will probably pay more for your food gas and housing. And the liberal democrats who are screaming that we need higher minimum wages are the same politicians who are creating all the red tape and legislation that is pushing prices higher.
