What is the amount of compensation to be afforded employees with respect to the period between reporting time and 'clocking' time?
Section 652 (1) of the Labor Law requires that employees be paid at least the minimum wage 'for each hour worked.' Section 2 (7) of the Labor Law defines 'employed' as including ' permitted or suffered to work.' Once an employer has directed an employee to report to work at a specified time, that employee is 'employed' and 'working' within the meaning of the Labor Law; and must be paid at least the minimum wage for all time during which such employee is required to remain on the employer's premises while waiting to report to such employee's actual work location. However, an employer is not required to pay employees for such time at their agreed rate of pay unless the employment agreement so provides.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Audioengine S8 by Dave Bar Why add a powered subwoofer? A powered subwoofer gives you bass you can feel as well as hear. Our customers love the depth and impact their subs add to music and movies. We hear comments like "it brings out sounds I didn't know existed in discs I've watched a million times." Powered subwoofers aren't just for big bass that rattles your picture frames; they can also deliver tight, accurate lows. If you haven't shopped for a powered sub in a while, you might be surprised at how small they get. Look for an ultra-compact model if you want to tuck your sub away under an end table or in a corner. Big bass in a small box Add deep, low-frequency thrills to your music, movies, and video games with Audioengine's S8 powered subwoofer. It makes the perfect companion for your Audioengine speaker system, or a fantastic upgrade to any music system that needs some extra low-end kick. The S8's custom down-firing 8" woofer delivers tight, punchy bass that blends in seamlessly with the other speakers in your system. Its rock-solid, hand-crafted cabinet features internally braced one-inch thick MDF construction with a beautiful high-gloss white or satin black furniture-grade finish. This subwoofer's super-compact build allows for easy out-of-the-way placement behind the couch or under your computer desk, but it looks so good you'll want to display out in the open. The S8 powered sub makes a great companion for Audioengine's A2 powered speakers (sold separately) Easy connections Audioengine makes it easy to integrate the S8 with your existing system. You can hook your receiver or other audio components up to the sub through its LFE or dual line-level inputs featuring both minijack and RCA connections. The sub's line-level outputs also give you an easy connection to your powered speakers. Adjustable rear-panel controls for crossover and subwoofer volume allow you to easily match up the S8 with your speakers. Plus, a variable phase control lets you tweak the sub's output for more precise bass response. And an auto-sleep standby feature turns the S8 amplifier off when you're not playing music to conserve energy.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Overview: The Audioengine S8 powered subwoofer is the perfect addition to your Audioengine powered speakers or as an upgrade to almost any audio system. The S8 powered subwoofer offers excellent performance for music, movies, and game. The powered subwoofer offers a compact design for easy placement. The S8 includes LFE, stereo RCA, and minijack inputs; as well as a full-range stereo RCA output. High Power Amplifier: The S8 powered subwoofer employs a dual class A/B monolithic amplifier which is rated at 125 watts RMS and 250 watts Peak. 8" Woofer: The S8 has a super-fast, long-throw, custom 8" woofer designed for audio and home theater performance. The 8" woofer features an anti-resonant steel frame and heavy-duty rubber speaker surround for accurate low end. The 8" woofer is down-firing and offers low, tight, and smooth bass that will blend well with the other speakers in your system. Bass Reflex Cabinet: The Audioengine S8 powered subwoofer utilizes a bass-reflex (ported) enclosure with a front-firing port for added efficiency, high volume level, an deeper bass. Furniture-Grade Finish: The Audioengine S8 features a custom-designed and handcrafted wood cabinet with high-gloss white or satin black finish. The cabinet is made of solid 1" thick, internally braced MDF to eliminate cabinet vibrations which means distortion-free, accurate response. Placement: This powered subwoofer is small enough to place in a corner or hide behind furniture. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded for safe placement next to your televisions. Here are three locations to try out for best performance. Corner Placement: Placing the powered subwoofer in a corner usually increases subwoofer loudness. Typically the front right & left corners sound the most natural, though rear corner placement is also an option. Wall Placement: Placing the powered subwoofer along a wall tends to give moderate bass performance with increased audio quality over corner placement. Alongside Front Speakers: Placing the powered subwoofer alongside one of the front speakers may blend better with the overall system, but can also sacrifice some subwoofer loudness. Note: At least 3"of clearance around the cabinet with good air circulation is recommended. Never cover the subwoofer or place it where the built-in amplifier could be covered. Controls Subwoofer Controls: Variable adjustable rear-panel controls for Crossover, Phase, and Subwoofer Volume allow you to easily adjust the S8's output and blending with your speakers. Volume Level: The Volume control is for matching the subwoofer speaker volume to the level of your speakers. Keep the volume low when first setting up your system and then adjust to your preferred level using different music and/or video sources. Low Pass Crossover: The Crossover control is used to set the subwoofer high frequency cutoff point, which is the point at which the subwoofer transitions to your other speakers. For example, if the Crossover control is set to the 50Hz mark then the sub will play all frequencies up to 50Hz. All frequencies from 50Hz and higher will then be played by the other speakers. Fine-tune the Crossover setting (50-130Hz) by ear for the smoothest blend with your main speakers. The best setting of the Crossover control will depend on speaker placement, room characteristics, and personal preference. Phase Adjustment: The Phase control is used to blend the sound of the subwoofer with the other speakers in your system. Phase is the degree to which the subwoofer speaker and other speakers are moving in and out at the same time. Once you have chosen a location for your subwoofer, try turning the Phase control (0-180°) in small amounts while you listen for the most bass from your favorite listening position. Sometimes no difference will be heard. There is no correct Phase setting and it is not uncommon for the subwoofer to sound similar at every setting, depending on your room and location of the subwoofer. If you don't hear a difference go ahead and set the Phase knob to the 0° position. Auto Standby: This indicator LED will be Green when an input signal is present (music playing) and Red when no signal is present (power-saving standby mode). The S8 subwoofer will automatically enter Standby mode after 15 minutes when no signal is detected. Thermal Overload Protection: The Audioengine powered subwoofer is protected by an internal thermal sensor. If it runs for an extended period of time, beyond tits designated power rating, the thermal sensor will engage and shut down the amplifier. If this occurs, turn off the power switch, lower the volume level, and wait five minutes before restarting the system. This is a normal protection feature and does not indicate a malfunction. Connections LFE In: If your AV receiver has an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) input or single Subwoofer output, connect it to the S8's LFE input. The S8's LFE input bypasses the subwoofer's built-in low pass crossover and uses your AV receiver's bass management settings. Dual Line-Level Inputs: The stereo RCA inputs and minijack (3.5mm) input are line-level audio inputs used for connecting your audio source's audio output (lacks an LFE or subwoofer output). Both inputs are active, so no switching is required if you wish to use inputs from two different audio sources plugged in at the same time. You will use the subwoofer's built-in low pass crossover. Full-Range Output: The S8's stereo RCA outputs provide a full-range line-level output to powered speakers or another subwoofer. This output is active whenever a signal is connected to one of the two subwoofer inputs. The volume level of this output connection is controlled by the audio input source, not the volume control on the subwoofer. Aux Outlet: The S8 powered subwoofer is fitted with a two-prong unswitched AC outlet (11-120VAC, 60Hz/1A) Detachable AC power Cord: The Audioengine S8 includes a detachable 6' AC power cord.

Very easy to install, great sound with easy controls for balancing sound. Pros: Simple and easy with great performance Cons: on off switch located in the rear of enclosure Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Extraordinary sound - worth the money! Written By John the Geek, Richmond, VA on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) From the first moment I powered it on and began to feel the bass, I knew I had made the correct decision. This sub pairs so well with my AudioEngine passive speakers and Teac desktop amp that I wondered what took me so long! Now my music is great, movies on my PC are better and games are beyond immersion. Pros: Fantastic sound, easy setup, clear directions and no hassles. Cons: Cannot think of any. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Fills out the sound spectrum Written By Brent, Charlottesville, VA on Friday, April 04, 2014 I added the S8 to a set of A2s for my computer music setup in my apartment and I'm very pleased with the result. When my wife and I downsized from our house (thanks for moving out, kids!) I replaced my traditional 100 watt receiver/amp/speaker/sub setup with an iTunes-based computer music system, and I was missing the deep bass I had with the subwoofer. Now I have it again. I had to reduce the sub volume level a bit so my neighbors wouldn't complain, but the overall sound is now richer and deeper. The setup was easy and the small size of the S8 fits in well with the smaller living room. I got the Satin black model to match the A2s and the Sony Bravia TV atop the dark brown, almost black Havenworth A/V credenza. It not only sounds great but looks great - hey, my wife is an interior designer, it has to look great! Pros: Compact, easy to set up, deep rich sound. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 awesome base Written By PeterH, Brooklyn, NY on Monday, January 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the S8 sub woofer to accompany my A5 speakers. The setup took just a few mins. I know the A5 speakers sound great but adding the S8 made the sound came alive. My wife said it sounded like she was in the theaters. Awesome sound. Best set of speakers and sub I have owned. Pros: Deep base Clear sound Cons: None 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The parure of matching set of jewelry was fashionable from the 18th century through to the earlier part of the 19th. Typically included were necklace, bracelet(s), pendant earrings and a pendant. Larger sets could include buttons, hair ornaments, buckles and more.
The Three Graces is very pleased to present a full parure of natural Siberian Russian amethyst set into high carat yellow gold. Characteristically Georgian with closed backed and foil settings, oval faceted amethyst have been encased in sculptural cups of gold with a convex shaped reverse. Granulation, in groups of one and three alternating, dot the rim of all the gemstones.
Gem Stones: The necklace has twenty-two (22) oval faceted gems ranging in size from 15 mm by 17 mm to 7 mm by 7 mm. The pendant displays ten (10) amethyst from 9 mm by 12 mm to 6 mm by 7 mm. Each of the earrings has ten (10) stones ranging in size from 5 mm by 7 mm to 4 mm by 5 mm. Twelve (12) gemstones, averaging 8 mm by 9 mm are in each of the two bracelets. In all, seventy-six (76) natural Siberian amethyst grace the parure. Carat weight cannot be determined, as the depth of the gems is unknown. None has been removed to protect the integrity of the settings.
The pendant has a detachable gem set bale with an integrated loop that enables it to be worn separately or together with the drop suspended from the central necklace. In addition, the pendant can be worn as a brooch. The pair of matching bracelets in rivière style is worn one on each wrist.
The set is in an antique maroon red leather box lined in cream silk which may be original or may have been replaced.
Similar examples of full parures of the same time period can be found in "Georgian Jewellery" by Dawes & Collings. Comparable style rivières and necklaces are on page 74, 75 and 113 of the same book. Throughout the chapter entitled, "Night" are variations of parures from the early 19th century. In addition "Understanding Jewelry" by Bennett & Mascetti has a garnet parure of this era on page 83.
Condition: Excellent. All the gems are hand cut with typical variation in size and shape; some variation to color of the amethysts due to properties of age and foiling; one bracelet has three stones that read paler and more lavender. Brooch clasp replaced with safety probably in the 19th century and hallmarked 14k. One earring has three missing granulations on one rim of a stone—could be replaced but we recommend leaving it as is.
Box is in good condition; some scratching, edge loss and wear; several losses to the surface, especially on underside and at "C" hinges.
Measurements: Necklace is 15-1/2 inches (39.4 cm) in length and more than 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) at the widest. Necklace has a weight of 49.8 grams. Pendant is more than 2-1/8 inches (5.5 cm) in length and is just shy of 1-5/8 inches (4.1 cm) in width. Pendant weighs 12.6 grams. Earrings measure 1-3/4 inches (4.4 cm) in length by less than 1-1/8 inches (2.7 cm). The pair has a weight of 12.6 grams. Each bracelet is 7-3/4 inches (19.7 cm) in length and just shy of ½ of an inch (1.2 cm) in width and weighs 19.1 grams.
Date & Origin: Circa 1810 – 1820; most likely English in origin.

Wetlands: A Natural Treasure
Learn more about the Wetland Restoration Project here.
Huntley Meadows lies in a wet lowland carved by an ancient meander of the Potomac River. The resulting freshwater wetland is one of the most rare habitats left in Fairfax County. Acre for acre, a healthy wetland supports more life than almost any other habitat. Wetlands also purify polluted waters and control the destructive power of floods and storms.
In colonial times, this land was part of the extensive plantation holdings of George Mason IV. Thomson Mason, a grandson of George Mason, built a home on the property in 1825. The villa, now known as Historic Huntley, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Virginia Landmarks Register, and the Fairfax County Historic House Inventory. An exhibit of Historic Huntley is available online. Mason family ownership lasted into the late 1800s, with track of the land being sold to other farmers. The house, along with a large portion of land, was sold to Albert W. Harrison who converted the grain farm to a dairy operation.
In the late 1920s, entrepreneur Henry Woodhouse reassembled many of the parcels, purchasing 1500 acres from 10 landowners. He dreamed of transforming Hybla Valley's dairy farms into a dirigible base. After he lost nearly all of the property, the federal government acquired the land. During the 1940s, the Bureau of Public Roads tested asphalt road surfaces. The Virginia National Guard's Battery D, 125th Gun Battalion used the land to provide anti-aircraft protection for the nation's capital during the 1950s.
Finally, the Navy conducted highly classified radio communication research before declaring the land surplus circa 1970. President Gerald Ford signed 1,261 acres over to the citizens of Fairfax County for use as a park in 1975. Under the Federal Legacy of Parks Program, the County paid only one dollar for the land. In 1992 the Fairfax County Park Authority, with financial assistance from Ducks Unlimited, purchased an additional 165 acres of adjacent wetland and upland. Huntley Meadows Park is currently 1,557 acres.
History is a Mystery at Historic Huntley
It's easy to let your imagination run away with you at Historic Huntley, the newly-restored villa once owned by Thomas Francis Mason, grandson of Founding Father George Mason. Perched atop an imposing hill at Huntley Meadows Park, the wondrous structure built in 1825 overlooks a massive expanse of what was then farmland, and features a large main room flanked by four identical side rooms with fireplaces and separate entrances. However, its original purpose is a mystery.
"The fact is, we don't really know what it was used for," said Huntley Meadows Park manager Kevin Munroe. "We think it was a summer home and that side rooms were for guests, but we haven't been able to find any records that say that for certain. There's nothing that tells us that the Masons ever lived here for more than short stays."
A paint chip analysis enabled historians to identify the home's original colors, which have been restored. The floors are the original wood floors, as evidenced by the varying widths of the hand-cut planks. Still, many other questions remain.
"We don't know how it was furnished, and we don't know whether there was any landscaping," Munroe said. "At that time, the view would have been all fields and you would have been able to see the Potomac River in the distance, and maybe even Mt. Vernon."
Equally puzzling is the purpose for three separate buildings on the site. It's clear that one was used in part as an outhouse. Another appears to have been an ice well and root cellar, although there is no evidence that cooking ever took place on the site. The third building is as much a mystery as the main house.
"Some people call it the slave quarters, but we really don't know," Munroe said. "Slaves were a part of the farming operation, but it's unclear exactly where they lived."
Historians surmise that in Mason's day, the property was a status symbol where summertime guests were invited to escape the heat of Old Town Alexandria and enjoy parties on the breezy, sculpted hillside overlooking the impressive 624-acre view. Perhaps they enjoyed popular refreshments of the day like lemonade or tea or port brought in for the occasion. Maybe they were invited to spend the night in their private quarters inside and come and go at will through their separate entrances. Regardless of Historic Huntley's original purpose, one thing is for certain: You'll be intrigued by the endless possibilities as you tour the site and let your imagination take flight!

Since I had the day off from work, I decided to remake my Pumpkin Rice Crispy Treats with a few minor adjustments. The result? Success! I was right yesterday, the recipe needed a reduction in the amount of pumpkin puree. Now I can share the recipe with you! I know most rice crispy treat recipes have similar ratios of cereal to marshmallow, so I can't take all the credit for this one. Feel free to add more spices if you wish. I kept it simple with just cinnamon but I bet cloves, nutmeg, and ginger would be nice additions too.
Pumpkin Rice Crispy Treats
2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil
10 ounces vegan marshmallows (I used Sweet & Sara brand)
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 cups rice crispy cereal
1. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan and set aside.
2. In a large, deep pan, melt the butter or coconut oil over medium heat.
3. Add in the marshmallows and stir often until almost completely melted.
4. Once the marshmallows are nearly melted, stir in the pumpkin puree and cinnamon. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir well to incorporate the pumpkin.
5. Remove from heat and add in the cereal, two cups at a time. Stir well after each addition. Once all the cereal has been added, transfer the mixture to prepared pan. Press down firmly with damp hands or a small square of parchment paper. The treats will be thick.
6. Allow the mixture to cool before cutting into squares.

Monsters Unleash on Rampage, Win 5-1Tweet
Photo by San Antonio
Playing the first of three games in three nights in the state of Texas, rookie goaltender Calvin Pickard won his fourth straight start in net for the Lake Erie Monsters (19-15-2-1), as they skated to a 5-1 victory in San Antonio over the Rampage (15-19-0-4). Lake Erie's Bill Thomas, who spent parts of three seasons with the Rampage in his career, notched two goals and an assist to help the Monsters prevail. Rookies Andrew Agozzino and Paul Carey each picked up a goal and an assist as well.
Dean Strong opened the scoring for the Monsters on the power play after a feed from Markus Lauridsen at the point. Strong one-timed the Lauridsen pass into the San Antonio goal for his second goal of the season at 14:45 of the first period. Lauridsen and Mike Connolly assisted on the goal.
Carey scored another power play goal for the Monsters after receiving a pass in front of the net from Agozzino at 6:43 of the second period. The goal was Carey's fifth of the season, and Geoff Walker also notched an assist on the play.
Thomas scored just 10 seconds later for the Monsters, stretching the lead to 3-0 on a blast from beyond the top of the right circle that beat Rampage netminder Jacob Markstrom to the upper portion of the net. Carey and Gabriel Beaupre assisted on Thomas' 12th goal of the season.
Jon Sim scored on a rebound in the third period for San Antonio, cutting the Monsters lead to 3-1 at 2:36 of the third period.
Agozzino regained the three-goal lead for the Monsters when he cruised up the right side and snapped a shot from the right circle that beat Markstrom upstairs at 8:17 of the final period; his 12th of the season. Thomas and Cameron Gaunce assisted on the goal.
Thomas added one more- a shorthanded goal that gave the Monsters a 5-1 lead- at 14:05 of the third period. Thomas streaked up the right wing and beat Markstrom with a high shot; his 13th goal of the year.
Pickard has now won four straight starts in net and is 10-8-1 after stopping 28 of 29 shots. Markstrom is 11-12-2 after stopping 20 of 25 Monsters shots.
The Monsters face the Rampage again in San Antonio on Friday, followed by a game against the Aeros in Houston on Saturday.
NOTES: The Monsters are 2-1-0-0 against San Antonio this season, and are 6-1-0-0 against the Rampage since the start of last season... the Monsters are now 11-5-0-0 against South Division opponents... Andrew Agozzino, with a goal and an assist, now has eight multi-point games on the season; the best total on the Monsters ahead of Tyson Barrie and Mike Sgarbossa, who have seven multi-point games each... Pickard is 4-0-0 over his last four starts, and has stopped 113 of 117 shots over that time... Pickard's four-game win streak is a Monsters season-best... Paul Carey has seven points over his last eight games after a goal and an assist on Friday... The Monsters were 2-4 on the power play and 5-5 on the penalty kill.

Pentagon Solutions: Sequestration becoming likely scenario
Wednesday - 11/28/2012, 7:06pm EST
With every passing day the chances that the across-the-board budget cuts, known as sequestration, will become reality increase.
The authors of a new report from the Center for a New American Security, "Countdown to Sequestration: Why American Leaders Could Jump Off the Fiscal Cliff," argue "there is a strong possibility that sequestration will take effect" in January.
Stokes, Bensahel and Smith in the Federal News Radio studio.
And sequestration is only one facet of the "fiscal cliff," faced by lawmakers. Expiring tax cuts are also on the table.
The political wrangling during the lame-duck session amounts to a "high-stakes game of chicken," the authors of the report write. "It would seriously disrupt planning throughout the Department of Defense and the defense industry, potentially shake market confidence in the United States and limit U.S. economic growth."
The co-authors of the report, Nora Bensahel, Jacob Stokes and Joel Smith join Pentagon Solutions to discuss the sequestration countdown.

I built a paper tune rack today and did my first paper tune. I started at 5-10 feet or so and when i was shooting bullet holes i moved to 10 yards and was still shooting good holes. I was reading how to do it out of an older Martin owners manual in the back section it told how to paper tune. Keep in mind I am left handed so the actions were reversed for me. I started with a right tear (fletchings going through to the right of POI). Here's what the owners manual says in a quote:
Right tear
(fletching tears to the right of point)
This tear may signal:
Note:If you are left handed do these steps in reverse.
Arrow rest too far to the right
Move arrow rest to the left
Since I am LH I reversed this and moved my rest to the right but the more I moved it the worse it got. Moving my rest to the right gained me nothing. So I moved it back to original starting place and started moving it to the left and thats when I started gaining. I ended up a few clicks to the left of where I started. In the end i was shooting clean holes. I dialed in my sight at 10 yards. Then I moved to 20 and the same pin was hitting good. By this time I was getting a tad shaky so my 30 yard shots were not steady enough for me to base anything on.
Anyone know why my adjustments were the opposite of what the book said I should be doing?

Heart Disease Health Center
How the Heart Works
Where Is Your Heart and What Does It Look Like? continued...
The atria and ventricles work together, contracting and relaxing to pump blood out of the heart. As blood leaves each chamber of the heart, it passes through a valve. There are four heart valves within the heart:
- Mitral valve
- Tricuspid valve
- Aortic valve
- Pulmonic valve
The tricuspid and mitral valves lie between the atria and ventricles. The aortic and pulmonic valves lie between the ventricles and the major blood vessels leaving the heart.
The heart valves work the same way as one-way valves in the plumbing of your home. They prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction.
Each valve has a set of flaps, called leaflets or cusps. The mitral valve has two leaflets; the others have three. The leaflets are attached to and supported by a ring of tough, fibrous tissue called the annulus. The annulus helps to maintain the proper shape of the valve.
The leaflets of the mitral and tricuspid valves are also supported by tough, fibrous strings called chordae tendineae. These are similar to the strings supporting a parachute. They extend from the valve leaflets to small muscles, called papillary muscles, which are part of the inside walls of the ventricles.
How Does Blood Flow Through the Heart?
The right and left sides of the heart work together. The pattern described below is repeated over and over, causing blood to flow continuously to the heart, lungs, and body.
Right Side of the Heart
- Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart.
- As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.
- When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricle contracts.
- As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs, where it is oxygenated and then returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins.
Left Side of the Heart
- The pulmonary veins empty oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart.
- As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve.
- When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts.
- As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.
How Does Blood Flow Through Your Lungs?
Once blood travels through the pulmonic valve, it enters your lungs. This is called the pulmonary circulation. From your pulmonic valve, blood travels to the pulmonary artery to tiny capillary vessels in the lungs.
Here, oxygen travels from the tiny air sacs in the lungs, through the walls of the capillaries, into the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, passes from the blood into the air sacs. Carbon dioxide leaves the body when you exhale. Once the blood is purified and oxygenated, it travels back to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins.

If you have any questions about this report, please feel free to contact me at 602- 542- 1027. Sincerely, JC: baf Enclosure Leadershipfor a Healthy Arizona STATEWIDE TRAUMA SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS REPORT Arizona Department of Health Services January Contreras, Acting Director Published By Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and Trauma System 150 N. 18th Avenue Phoenix, AZ 85007 ( 602) 542- 1025 This Report Is Provided As Required By Executive Order 2008- 26 December 31,2008 Developing an Inclusive Statewide Trauma System Executive Order 2008- 26 In September ofthis year, Governor Napolitano issued Executive Order 2008- 26 charging the Department ofHealth Services with: • Increasing the number of Arizona Health Care institutions that participate in the statewide trauma system, particularly those located in rural Arizona • Establishing a Trauma Medical Director with expertise in trauma care to formulate standards, guidelines and rules to further enhance Arizona's trauma system and care • Growing the number ofhealth care institutions that report traumatic injury data to the Arizona State Trauma Registry; an effort that enhances information sources necessary for continued evaluation of, and improvements to, the statewide trauma system • Providing a report to the Governor on the activities and outcomes of developing an Inclusive Trauma System by December 31, 2008 and annually thereafter. The Arizona Department ofHealth Service's Bureau ofEmergency Medical Services and Trauma System ( Bureau) is the statutorily identified lead for the development ofa statewide inclusive trauma system. The following is a summary of the progress that has been made in 2008. Focus Area One: Increase the number of Arizona Health Care institutions that participate in the statewide trauma system, particularly those located in rural Arizona On January 1,2008 there were 7 designated trauma centers in the State. As ofthe date of this report, we now have eleven designated trauma centers, three of which are located outside of the urban core areas, an increase ofmore than 50%. Flagstaff Medical Center Banner Good Samaritan St. Joseph's Medical Center Scottsdale- Osborn Univ. Med. Center - Tucson Maricopa Medical Center Level I Level I Level I Level I Level I Level I John C. LincolnNM Phoenix Children's Hosp.* Summit - Show Low* Banner Page* Northern Cochise - Willcox* * Trauma centers designated in 2008 Levell Level I Level IV LevellY Level IV We continue to actively pursue new participants from the rural healthcare community. To facilitate this process the Bureau developed and advertised an outreach program that acts as a travelling orientation to the value of being a part ofthe trauma system. This allows Bureau staff to describe the social and financial costs and benefits associated with formal participation in the trauma system. The orientation is designed to inform key 2 hospital administrators about common concerns and misconceptions ofthe trauma system, as well as explain the tangible benefits ofparticipation. This year, Bureau staff conducted five such orientations across the State. Additionally, Bureau staff visited with an additional ten facilities to answer questions about participation in the trauma system. Focus Area Two: Establish a Trauma Medical Director with expertise in trauma care to formulate standards, guidelines and rules to further enhance Arizona's trauma system and care. Bureau staff developed the appropriate position documents required by Department of Health Services' Human Resources Division and intends to submit the position in early 2009. Focus Area Three: Grow the number of health care institutions that report traumatic injury data to the Arizona State Trauma Registry; an effort that enhances information sources necessary for continued evaluation of, and improvements to, the statewide trauma system. The Bureau is finalizing a Microsoft Excel abbreviated trauma registry that we intend to make available to any health care institution that expresses an interest in submitting data to the Arizona State Trauma Registry. The following facilities currently contribute data to the registry: ARIZONA STATE TRAUMA REGISTRY ( ASTR) REPORTING HOSPITALS ( as of 11/ 1/ 08) MED0219 MED0222 MED0201 MED0223 MED0235 IHS3006 MED2170 MED0257 MED0261 MED0262 MED0198 MED0246 MED2125 Non- Desi nated Non- Desi nated Levell Levell Levell Levell Levell Levell Levell Level IV Levell Non- Desi nated Non- Desi nated d 7 9 4 2 3 12 10 1 8 13 5 6 11 Expected to begIn contri utma ata soon: 14 John C Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital Non- Designated MED0230 15 Page Hospital ( Banner) Level IV designation pending MED0203 16 Northern Cochise Community Hospital Level IV designation pending 17 Little Colorado Medical Center Level IV desianation pending 3 The Bureau shared the Executive Order with our State Trauma Advisory Board, other committees, and Arizona's four EMS Regional Councils. The Order has been well received by all. Recent reports from the ASTR indicates that we have a long way to go to ensure that Arizona residents, particularly those living in the rural and frontier areas of the state, receive timely and appropriate access to trauma care. The Bureau is dedicated and committed to continuing its work in addressing these focus areas in the coming year. 4

The Freezarse Rendezvous, held Friday, Jan. 11, to Sunday, Jan. 13, is an annual event at the shooting range on Airport Way along the San Joaquin River east of Tracy.
Aaron Ewing of Tracy, a Manteca Sportsmen board member and chairman of the club's high-powered rifle events, set aside his modern firearms for a flintlock muzzle-loader for the rendezvous.
He was one of about 25 people to get an early start at the event Friday — about 100 more gathered Saturday to shoot off all types of black powder-powered firearms.
The competition gives marksmen points for each target hit along a course at the shooting range. Extra points go to those who dress in buckskins or other attire typical of early American hunters and trappers.
Ewing finished the weekend in first place in the rifle competition, scoring 39.8 out of a possible 42 points.
While not an antique, his rifle is the same model of firearm frontiersmen carried in the early 1800s as Americans ventured west of the Mississippi River. The model stayed in use through the Civil War.
"They're surprisingly accurate," Ewing said.
A time apart
That doesn't mean the muzzle-loader is easy to use.
"It's harder to shoot these, because you have to focus on your front sight and … see a flash in front of your face at the same time you're trying to concentrate on the front sight," Ewing said. "It takes a while to get used to these."
Joe Kroeze, a Modesto resident and 35-year member of Manteca Sportsmen, organizes the club's black powder shoots on the second Saturday of each month.
Kroeze loves the classic rifles for their simplicity, a basic design that a craftsman can reproduce in a home workshop.
"You can buy a gun for $300 or $400, but when you build your own, it's kind of like a trusty car," Kroeze said.
They can also be versatile. He explained that smooth-bore muzzle-loaders can be used as shotguns simply by loading bird shot instead of a lead ball.
"Back then, people couldn't carry around two or three guns, so one gun served multiple purposes," Kroeze said.
Lynn Benbrook of Lodi admitted to being a "history nut" who builds rifles and pistols in the style of classic firearms, but with unique touches and ornamentation.
"I couldn't afford to buy the guns I wanted, so I build them," he said.
Loaded event
Another difference from most competitive shooting is the ritual of preparing to shoot an old-fashioned rifle or pistol.
"There's a lot of camaraderie," Ewing said. "It takes a long time to load one of these, and while you're loading you sit and chat with your buddies who you don't see all the time."
The Tracy resident uses a hollowed-out deer antler to measure black gunpowder from a polished cow horn.
He pours the powder into the barrel, then wraps a lead ball in a scrap of fabric and uses a ramrod to push it to the back of the 42-inch barrel.
He sets the trigger so the slightest touch will release the hammer, causing the flint to spark the explosion that sends the .45-caliber ball to its target.
Many opt for more reliable percussion caps, which came into use in the 1820s, instead of the flint.
Dan Golling of Modesto said the event has a relaxed environment. Most people who attend are as interested in the history of firearms as they are in hitting their targets.
"The nice thing about this is you meet a whole new class of people," Golling said. "Everybody is on the same page. Everybody is watching everybody else and helping one another."
Sportsmen shooting safety
Black powder events are one way Manteca Sportsmen promotes shooting sports and firearm safety. Kroeze said he teaches young people in 4-H Club, Civil Air Patrol and Boy Scouts to shoot black powder rifles.
On the first Saturday and fourth Sunday of each month, the club also hosts cowboy action shoots, where participants are timed as they move through the shooting range.
Other events feature trap shooting, pistol shooting and firing World War II rifles on a 100-yard range.
Michael Maciel, Tracy's mayor pro tem and retired police captain, is a regular at the cowboy action shoots and also helps teach firearm safety classes.
Women's courses offered at Manteca Sportsmen continue to grow, he said.
"We used to have a beginners class with maybe 20 shooters, then it got to be 60, and the last time we were pushing 80," Maciel said. "It almost taxes our capacity."

Jockey Quotes
MARTIN PEDROZA, VIA VILLAGGIO, Winner: "It was a beautiful trip. When I saw that filly (Sister Moon) getting out, I thought maybe Garrett (Gomez) was just setting me up to get in there, but I could see she kept drifting out. I didn't want to take any chances on getting stopped, so I got up inside when I could. It was better to take a chance and move a little early rather than having to check and lose my momentum."
GARRETT GOMEZ, SISTER MOON, Second: "I can only ride them if they go straight. From the time I left the gate she wanted to drift with me. I couldn't get her any closer to the fence. You could see her on the turn, her head was turned sideways. I couldn't hold her in there anymore without taking too much away from her. Turning for home, I let her go to the middle of the race track, thinking that maybe she'd run. I even went to the last resort of hitting her left handed, but there really wasn't a lot there. She didn't run horrible, just not the way she was expected."
Trainer Quotes
JERRY HOLLENDORFER, VIA VILLAGGIO, Winner: "This filly got in trouble last time, so it was hard to gauge what she might or might not do today. I wanted to try her on the main track at Betfair Hollywood Park. We thought she was training well on it so we gave it a try and it looked like it worked pretty well. One thing about the riders here, you can go pretty deep, and that guy (Pedroza) is about the most underrated rider on either coast. She'll probably run next in the (Grade II, $150,000 Hollywood) Oaks (June 23). I scratched Killer Graces because I had a little problem with her and thought I was rushing her back too soon. I want to get a few more pounds on her and go from there."
JOHN SADLER, SISTER MOON, Second: "Disappointing, that's all I can say. I don't know what to think. Just disappointing."

Mint-chocolate pout polish
Just like the scrumptious cocktail served in hot southern summers, Mint Julips is packed full of fresh peppermint and sweet castor sugar. Peppermint is responsible for that 'tingly feeling' you get after brushing your teeth or using lip balm, so we thought it would make a perfect addition to our lip scrub! Plus, it makes Mint Julips tastes like a big, creamy bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
- For a flawless pout: Scrub Mint Julips over your lips (be sure to lick off the excess) and then apply your favorite lip color.
- Mint chocolate, oh my! Follow your Mint Julips scrub with Double Choc lip tint for gorgeous, bronzed lips.
- Fair Trade sugar: As the base of our lip scrubs, Fair Trade sugar makes for an effective exfoliant.

A:Keeping it in the bathroom is a perfectly fine way to store it. You just want to make sure that the lid is on tightly in between uses, because if water gets in, the sugar will get much harder and might make it difficult to use.Answered on 3/19/2014 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct

A:It can definitely ruin the lip scrub, since there aren't any preservative ingredients, it's best to keep all water out of the container so that microbial growth does not occur.Answered on 6/19/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:I've had this product since about late September of last year and I don't use it very frequently. I've recently noticed that there's a brown spot in the bottom of the container and it looks like it's in the product. I'm not sure what it is, but is it safe to still use? What should I do?Asked on 4/8/2012 by KikiNcupcakes

A:It's hard to know for sure without being able to see the product, but if you are concerned, please bring it back to the shop that it was purchased, and our LUSH staff would be happy to help!Answered on 4/11/2012 by Megan from LUSH
