So basically if someone accuses you of something, and you are arrested, an alert will be sent to your employer and you will probably be fired, even if you are not convicted. How is that justice? Welcome to 1984!
By Hana Kim
SEATTLE - The Washington State Patrol performed 800,000 background checks just last year.
It's a system in place to promote safety. But many say the state needs to do more.
A state audit is now recommending fingerprint background checks so that employers can get an automatic alert anytime an employee is arrested for a crime.
- So much for being innocent until proven guilty!
Linda Gleason's job everyday is to keep other people's kids safe as the owner of Agape Child Care in Ballard.
"It's important you know who works for you," said Gleason.
The state requires a background check with a follow up every 3 years for child care employees but Gleason says that's not enough.
- If you don't think that's enough, then why not do it more often? You don't need another law to force you to do that.
"We need to be proactive that's the problem we are dragging our feet," said Gleason.
The State Auditor's Office agrees now backing what's called a "rap back" service which would automatically in real time notify an employer if someone is arrested. Fingerprints would have to be stored in a database for that to happen.
"That is how the system is supposed to work can I guarantee that it will work that way in every case, no, but again that is what we are trying to do here we are trying to close loopholes," said Washington State Auditor Troy Kelley.
For example in 2012 parents at Garfield High School found out the janitor was a sex offender. He had been working at the school for nearly a decade unnoticed because he was convicted of voyeurism after his initial background check.
- So in that decade of him working there, did he commit another sex crime? Doesn't sound like it.
The state also looked into the criminal history data of 800,000 applicants from 2005 to 2012.
They determined 500 people would have triggered a notification for offenses such as child molestation, assault and drug crimes after they would have been hired.
"I think it will weed out the people you don't want taking care of our children," said Gleason.
Department of Social and Health Services pays for background checks on foster parents every 3 years.
"We support any concrete steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children and vulnerable adults, including background checks that are as comprehensive and up to date as possible," said spokesperson Thomas Shapley.
DSHS however said they had some lingering questions about how much the rap back service could cost. Meanwhile others worry about those stored fingerprints.
"If they look at it as an invasion of privacy well they are not looking at the welfare of our children," said Gleason.
Right now 29 other states already have automatic background checks in place.
Washington state lawmakers would have to change the rules first before all fingerprints can be stored in a national database.
The rap back service would cost about $300,000 to start up and $350,000 annually to keep it going.

WA - Arrested for a crime? Automatic alert would go to your employer
Labels: BigBrother , Privacy , Security , Washington
Location: Seattle, WA, USA
2 comments :
Ah, what the heck. Who cares about the PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE TO BEGIN WITH. Even a person who truly did not co0mmit a crime and later cleared ---- too late! Its historical.

No great loss to freedom since the presumption of guilt seems top be all that is needed to convict these days...
Add to that, the "criminal" justice department deems it necessary to send a letter to a former employer after conviction. This effectively ruins any chance for reintegration upon release...
Frankly, I can't see how anything the justice department does helps anybody in the slightest...

Tory Burch Eau de Parfum (2013): The Various Meanings of "Clean" in a Fragrance {Perfume Review & Musings}
My initial impression of Tory Burch Eau de Parfum was that it reflects American aesthetic values in perfumery as we usually imagine them to be across the pond: clean and fresh. You conveniently set aside Obsession by Calvin Klein in this simplified view of mainstream US perfumery although the big cats know better. Zooey notes of the world, unite. As I try it on skin next, I see that the designer insisted on creating an aquatic floral perfume which is indeed clean and just a little more bodied than expected on first inhale. It is also "clean" in the sense that its scent evokes the goddess of laundry notes, white musk, and fabric softeners in their more sophisticated version of themselves...

Cal State Fullerton's super regional opener is Saturday morning in Louisville
Those night owls on the Cal State Fullerton baseball team better adjust their body clocks.
The Titans, who played deep into the night in their three NCAA regional games at Goodwin Field, open their best-of-3 NCAA super regional series with Louisville on Saturday at 8 a.m. PDT in a nationally televised game on ESPN2 at Patterson Stadium in Louisville, Ky.
Big West Conference champion Fullerton (37-22), the only West Coast team among the 16 left in the field, squares off with the No. 3 overall seed Cardinals (46-16) again Sunday at 9 a.m. on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.
Game 3, if necessary, is scheduled for Monday (ESPN or ESPN2) with the time to be determined after Sunday's game.
The eight super regional winners advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
Four-time national champion Fullerton is making its 37th postseason appearance and is playing in its 12th super regional (the round was added in 1999 when the tournament was expanded from 48 to 64 teams). Louisville is making its third consecutive super regional appearance and is trying to reach a third consecutive CWS and its fourth in nine years.
Fullerton, which won its four-team regional by going 3-0 against Pepperdine and Arizona State, is meeting Louisville in a super regional for the second time. The Titans beat the Cardinals in 2009 to advance to their 16th and most recent CWS.
Fullerton beat Louisville, 8-6, in a February tournament game in Clearwater, Fla., roughing up Louisville left-hander Josh Rogers for six runs and eight hits in four innings.
Four of the eight super regionals are on Friday-Sunday schedules: Maryland at Virginia, Florida State at No. 4 Florida, VCU at No. 5 Miami and No. 8 Missouri State at Arkansas. Three others are on the Saturday-Monday schedule: Louisiana Lafayette at No. 2 LSU, Texas A&M at No. 7 TCU and Vanderbilt at No. 6 Illinois.
No. 1 overall seed UCLA was the only one of the eight national seeds that failed to advance to the super regionals. The Bruins were eliminated with a 2-1 loss to Maryland late Monday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium. All six Pac-12 programs that made the field, including USC, were eliminated during regional play.

Strategies to prevent and treat osteoporosis in people with diabetes are the same as for those without diabetes.
Nutrition: A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is important for healthy bones. Good sources of calcium include low-fat dairy products; dark green, leafy vegetables; and calcium-fortified foods and beverages. Many low-fat and low-sugar sources of calcium are available. Also, supplements can help you meet the daily requirements of calcium and other important nutrients.
Vitamin D plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone health. It is synthesized in the skin through exposure to sunlight. Although many people are able to obtain enough vitamin D naturally, older individuals are often deficient in this vitamin due, in part, to limited time spent outdoors. They may require vitamin D supplements to ensure an adequate daily intake.
Exercise: Like muscle, bone is living tissue that responds to exercise by becoming stronger. The best exercise for your bones is weight-bearing exercise that forces you to work against gravity. Some examples include walking, stair climbing, and dancing. Regular exercise can help prevent bone loss and, by enhancing balance and flexibility, reduce the likelihood of falling and breaking a bone. Exercise is especially important for people with diabetes since exercise helps insulin lower blood glucose levels.
Healthy lifestyle: Smoking is bad for bones as well as for the heart and lungs. Women who smoke tend to go through menopause earlier, triggering earlier bone loss. In addition, smokers may absorb less calcium from their diets. Alcohol can also negatively affect bone health. Heavy drinkers are more prone to bone loss and fracture because of poor nutrition as well as an increased risk of falling. Avoiding smoking and alcohol can also help with managing diabetes.
Bone density test: Specialized tests known as bone mineral density (BMD) tests measure bone density in various parts of the body. These tests can detect osteoporosis before a bone fracture occurs and predict one's chances of fracturing in the future. The most widely recognized bone mineral density test is called a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry or DXA test. It is painless: a bit like having an x ray, but with much less exposure to radiation. It can measure bone density at your hip and spine. People with diabetes should talk to their doctors about whether they might be candidates for a bone density test.
Medication: Like diabetes, there is no cure for osteoporosis. However, several medications are approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men. Medications are also approved for use in both women and men with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Jermain Defoe twice gave us the lead but we were pegged back by a determined side managed by former Spur Peter Taylor, featuring Alton Thelwell and Nicky Barmby.
A frustration for Jacques is the non-availability of several senior players as he seeks to formulate his plans for the forthcoming season.
"For us the game was good because we are only two weeks into our preparation, but we do have three or four of our players out with injury," commented the Head Coach after the game.
"It is difficult to prepare for the season without these players - Mauricio Taricco, Simon Davies and Michael Brown are carrying injuries. This was also the first match for Anthony Gardner, Ledley King and Paul Robinson.
"We are looking towards the beginning of the championship and I hope that the players will be in good form and fitness for the first match against Liverpool."

International Journal of Multiphase Flow | Year: 2014
An experimental study on wave characteristic has been carried out utilizing oil and air in a 0.1524. m ID horizontal and slightly inclined (±2°) pipe. A two-wire capacitance probe was developed to measure wave characteristics at the gas-liquid interface for two-phase flow in pipe. Wave celerity, amplitude and frequency have been determined from the capacitance time traces. The wave celerity increases with increase in superficial gas and liquid velocities. Although wave celerity was found to be dependent on inclination, the effect of inclination tends to diminish with increase in gas velocity. Wave amplitude and frequency did not show a particular trend for conditions studied. A new correlation for wave celerity for two-phase stratified flow using low viscosity fluids is proposed. The correlation was also compared with model prediction for wave celerity using mechanistic model proposed by others. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. Source
Validating surfactant performance in the eagle ford shale: A correlation between the reservoir-on-a-chip approach and enhanced well productivity

Proceedings - SPE Symposium on Improved Oil Recovery | Year: 2014
For liquids-rich shale plays, surfactants have proven to be a critical component in hydraulic fracturing fluid systems for enabling enhanced oil and gas recovery. The industry's most commonly used surfactant is a non-emulsifying surfactant (NES), but it has been previously demonstrated that a weakly emulsifying surfactant (WES) appears to be more efficient at mobilizing oil through tight pore throats. In this study, fundamental differences between those two surfactant types were further demonstrated using a Reservoir-on-a-Chip (ROC) approach, which allows direct visualization of oil recovery with the various surfactant fluids, allowing for the testing on both homogenous and heterogeneous pore structures with various geometries. The laboratory testing showed that, compared to a non-surfactant-bearing control fluid and the NES, the WES showed higher oil recovery efficiency at equal driving pressure. As a result of the laboratory testing indications, a multiple well trial program was conducted in two separate areas of the Eagle Ford shale. Production data from the wells stimulated using a WES-bearing fracturing fluid were normalized in terms of lateral lengths and fracturing stages, and compared to the offset wells stimulated using a NES-bearing fracturing fluid. Early production results suggest that wells treated with the WES exhibited enhanced productivity compared to those treated with the NES. Copyright 2014, Society of Petroleum Engineers. Source

Proper application of surfactants during hydraulic fracturing operations not only enhances initial production of a reservoir, but also helps sustain its long-term production. The most commonly used surfactant for low-permeability reservoirs is a non-emulsifying surfactant (NES). This study shows that a weakly emulsifying surfactant (WES) is better in solubilizing oil globules via self-association, and appears to be more efficient at mobilizing oil through tight pore throats than NES. The fundamental difference between these two surfactant types was found to be the emulsion tendency. The performance of the two surfactants was compared using a microfluidic based Rock-on-a-Chip (ROC) device with pore sizes comparable to shale formation rocks. The ROC allowed direct visualization of oil recovery by surfactants with controlled pore geometries and surface chemistry. Results showed that the WES yielded higher oil recovery efficiency at equal driving pressure compared to a non-surfactant-bearing control fluid and the NES. As a result of the laboratory testing indications, a multiple well trial program was conducted in two separate areas of the Eagle Ford shale. Early production results suggest that wells treated with the WES exhibited enhanced productivity compared to those treated with the NES. © 2015 Elsevier B.V. Source
New dynamic-surface-tension analysis yields improved residual Surfactant measurements in flowback and produced waters
Rane J.P.,Multi Chemical |
Xu L.,Multi Chemical
SPE Production and Operations | Year: 2015
Surfactant is a significant component within fracturing-fluid additives that is used for enhancing oil and gas production following stimulation of unconventional reservoirs. To help ensure optimal applications of surfactants, operating and service companies have been searching for tools for tracking surfactant residuals in flowback and produced waters, which possibly can be correlated with well productivity. This paper discusses the residual surfactant concentration measured in produced water from example Barnett shale formation wells by use of a dynamic surface tension (DST) technique, which yields much more accurate measurements. DST measurement by maximum bubble-pressure technique is wellknown, but it has not been used explicitly for the application of residual surfactant measurement in produced water. A comparison of DST includes evaluating the diffusion coefficient to the reaction kinetics of adsorption of a known molecule(s) in produced water. Short-time kinetics of adsorption of different molecules vary on the basis of chemical nature and molecular size. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy is used to confirm the results. An estimate of residual concentrations from UV-Vis appears to be coherent with DST-measurement values. Such measurements can be useful in determining the surfactant concentration during pumping and the surfactant performance during and after hydraulic-fracturing operations. Additionally, these measurements serve a vital role in tailoring the surfactant additive to specific reservoir conditions to achieve higher oil recovery. Real-time production results from these different wells are analyzed and appear dependent on the corresponding residual surfactant concentrations from produced waters. This unique technique is new to the authors' knowledge for its use to study and analyze produced water for surfactant-additive concentration. Copyright © 2015 Society of Petroleum Engineers. Source
A case study evaluating a co-injection biocide treatment of hydraulic fracturing fluids utilized in oil and gas production
Corrin E.,Multi Chemical |
Rodriguez C.,Multi Chemical |
Williams T.M.,Dow Chemical Company
NACE - International Corrosion Conference Series | Year: 2015
The recovery of petroleum resources from previously untapped shale reserves significantly impacts the global energy market. Effective management of limited water resources and control of microbial contamination in all process fluids are crucial to the sustained quality of production fluids. Microbiological contamination in untreated waters is recognized in the oil and gas industry as posing a high risk of production fluid souring by allowing the growth and metabolism of sulfate reducers. In addition to hydraulic source water contamination, it is expected that microbes can be introduced into shales at the time of drilling, necessitating the treatment of source waters to target existing downhole contamination. A two-part biocide treatment strategy has been extensively evaluated in controlled laboratory studies. The synergistic combination treatment involves the co-injection of dimethyl oxazolidine (DMO), along with the industry benchmark glutaraldehyde (GLUT). Laboratory testing showed a combination of treatments applied at 1:1 to 1:4 GLUT to DMO active ratios were highly synergistic against bacteria. This ratio provided a rapid kill of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and acid-producing bacteria (APB), as well as extended control in downhole conditions. Testing conditions were designed to simulate downhole conditions in a North American shale play; subsequently, the shale play was selected for field trials. A field-wide application of GLUT:DMO in the Niobrara formation was performed from 2012 to 2013. This case study reports 70 hydraulically fractured wells comprised from 25 well pads that received the GLUT/DMO combination treatment. The treatment was successful in maintaining low bacteria counts in the flowback/produced water, using liquid culture media (three positive SRB vials or less). Key advantages of this new treatment strategy include lower total biocide usage versus competitive biocides, an improved environmental (ecotoxicity) profile, enhanced performance at an alkaline pH, and compatibility with process additives. © 2015 by Nace International.

Enjoying the silence
By: Arjen Drost
Tags: Antarctica, Lemaire Channel
Category: nature, Photography, Polar, Recreation
One of the really impressive features of Antarctica is the silence. If you can't hear your ship anymore and you don't make any sounds yourself, there are no human made sounds at all. For some people this can be really scary. With all the sounds back home, we're not used to this complete silence anymore. Others, like me, really love it.
Oceanwide Expeditions, the organisation I guide for, offers special basecamp cruises where guests have the opportunity to go camping or kayaking, two activities that are really good for experiencing this silence. Last season one of the guests woke up thinking she was deaf, only to realise everything was fine, there were just no sounds around her…

It's now closed down since the rugby team moved to Barton. The ground and the Willows are being redeveloped which can only be of benefit to the surrounding areas.
This is set up for the bar of the RL ground and home of Salford City Reds. Salford are moving to Barton next season so I had to have a final visit to the old ground. Brilliant atmosphere enhanced by a victory over high flying Huddersfield

Whether you've just decided to start a search engine optimization (SEO) team, expand your current team, or are happy with what you've currently got, there's always a concern that there's a better way to deploy your existing resources in order to meet your business goals.
Below are six different structures that may work for your organization, depending on the size of your organization and your strategic direction.
Matrix / Embedded
The SEO team is structured in a hierarchical manner, with the members reporting up to an individual (director, VP, etc.) in the chosen department (usually marketing, but not necessarily). The team members are then embedded within other departments / sites where they dotted line report up to the management within that department.
The main benefit of this structure is that the SEO team member is often viewed as a member of that team, becomes a subject matter expert, and can use a built up rapport with that team to get work done.
The big drawback of this structure is that for it to work you need to have as many SEOs on the team as there are departments and sites (assuming there's enough work to be done to keep the SEO busy).
Centralized / Internal Agency
The other end of the spectrum is to have no embedding whatsoever. Under a centralized structure the SEO team can take work based on corporate prioritization of sites, or perhaps just on a first in, first out (FIFO) system, with the next SEO in line taking the next project to come up.
The main benefits of this structure are that sites that may otherwise not get the help that they need get it, and the SEO team can step back a little and work on the bigger picture unencumbered by loyalties to particular sites. You can also structure the team in such a way as to allow for specialization in particular areas (i.e., one member of the team handles SEO for all editorial content, while another handles architectural issues).
The biggest drawback is that you lose the ability to build and maintain a rapport between an SEO and the individual teams, as it may be a different SEO that works on different projects each time.
Direct Report
This is similar to the matrix structure, with the difference being that the SEO instead reports directly to the department / site, and is matrixed into the SEO hierarchy. This means the SEO isn't directly accountable to an SEO organization, but is instead measured by the goals of their department, which may not directly align with those of the SEO org.
Training Organization
If the SEO team is too small to handle the work that needs to be done within your company, then help needs to come from somewhere, and where better than from within your own organization? Set your SEO team up to identify advocates within each department (development / editorial / product) or site and train them up to act as an extended team.
It's a great idea to incentivize them and also to make them accountable for the SEO performance of the areas they work on. What's also great with this structure is that if you need to grow the core SEO team then you have an internal pool of applicants that you can pick from, rather than having to find someone on the outside.
Vendor Management Structure
If your team is small, and you have mission critical SEO work that requires far more resources than you have available, then there are plenty of SEO agencies that would only be too willing to work with you on whatever basis you need (project by project, retainer, etc). Just be prepared for your SEO team to spend some of their time on vendor management, as you'll have to have regular meetings, reviews, etc., in order for this to be successful.
Hybrid Structure
These structures aren't set in stone. You could potentially have some members of your SEO team focus on mission critical work, while having other members of the team identify and train up advocate for the rest of the organization. This may also give you greater flexibility in case one form doesn't appear to be working as well as others, you can then make the case for redeploying resources.
Whatever structure you decide is best for your organization, make sure that it's communicated effectively, so that everyone within your company knows what to expect and from whom. Only then will your SEO effort be successful.

82 North Broadway
Nyack, NY 10960
Nyack, NY 10960
April 19th, 2013 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Edward and Josephine Hopper made a series of summer trips into Vermont between 1927 and 1938, culminating in two month-long stays on a farm in South Royalton. There Edward painted a series of distinctive and little-known watercolor landscapes of the White River. Author Bonnie Tocher Clause describes her quest to illuminate the back story of these Vermont sojourns. She will illustrate her talk with slides of Hopper's Vermont works--both watercolors and drawings--along with photographs, old and new, of the real places in the paintings.
Bonnie Clause is a writer and an independent scholar, and Edward Hopper in Vermont is her first book. www.hoppervermont.com

most of the people i know are ignorant about anime...i don't know anyone who actually hates them.
nearly everybody i know is too narrow-minded to accept that anime isn't just a bunch of 'japanese cartoons', why must a different language put you off watching/listening to something if you enjoy it? yeah, they won't try it, and the people i know irl that do watch anime, are all a bunch of cocks.
anime is g00d...nice parents...hihihi
in my school it splits up and there are like half or bit less who absolutely hate it not dislike, HATE! They are like hippies tryin 2 stop anime instead of pollution and are evil instead. And the rest like it but they only watch naruto and if you try and tell them bout other good animes they are almost as bad as the half that hate all anime. I swear they are CONFUSED!!! Only a small amount are open minded unfortunately

i really love anime and well i do not really know of anyone that really dislikes them, but if there were any people like that i say it is normal as everyone is different. so go on and keep enjoying anime ;)
Back to Anime!!!!
not everyone share same preference
some people will bound to not like something
so who the hell cares?
i really hate those people who hate anime.... Most of the people nowadays think that ANIME is just for kid....

Well tell them to use their brain for a change and read a little... no j/k
but really anyone who is having problems defending anime to their parents here is some real advice. Convince them to sit through one anime with you. If they don't like it they can say whatever they want after that.
Now go out and buy (if you don't already own) Voices of a Distant Star. And when the movie is over and they're in tears you can ask them what they think of your "cartoon" now.
tried and true method, I've converted no less then 10 sets of parents using this method
Now you know.. and knowing is half the battle.
My parents dont ever know and my cousins dont like anime.
I've been around tha block a couple of times. Would go again but too lazehhh -_-
I don't know n-e 1 who doesn't like anime. My bro and I love that stuff (but mos' the stuff I watch, he don't). My mom, being an art teacher, doesn't mind. But, she does hate that I spend WAAAY too much time watching it (and classic sentai) 'sides my college work, which is much more important, kiddies Stay in school! XD
