The much-anticipated opening of The Italian Store's location in Westover has been pushed back again.
Owner Robert Tramonte told ARLnow.com today that delays in getting utilities installed in the 75-year-old building — water, gas, electric and Verizon FiOS — have been the cause of the delay. Now, he hopes the 6,000-square-foot location on Washington Blvd opens this spring.
"There is no competition for those companies," Tramonte wrote in an email, "so they schedule as they see fit."
When Tramonte announced that a second location of his popular grocery/takeout restaurant business would take over the Westover 7-Eleven in December 2013, he planned to open May 2014. Permitting issues held up the start of construction until the summer, when Tramonte said he hoped to be open before the holidays.
Construction was in full swing on the interior when ARLnow.com looked in on the shop this morning. When the new store does open, it will feature a seating area for customers to eat and drink, an expanded grocery section and an Illy espresso bar. Last August, Tramonte described his plans for the location as "The Italian Store on steroids."
(Updated at 5:25 p.m.) Arlington County Police have confirmed that the two people found dead in a Westover apartment yesterday died as a result of an apparent murder-suicide.
Police say the bodies of Kristy Flowers, 31, and Ray Savoy, Jr., 29, were found in an apartment on the 1200 block of N. Kensington Street on Monday afternoon. Officers were called to the apartment to check on the welfare of the residents, who had not been heard from for a couple days.
Police say they believe Savoy shot Flowers, then turned the gun on himself. The two were a couple, lived together in the apartment and posted photos together on Facebook as recently as November.
"Awesome weekend in NYC with my LOVE BUG," Savoy posted, along with a collection of photos featuring Flowers, on Nov. 22.
"There was no history of domestic violence at this location nor did either resident have any previous domestic violence arrests," police noted in a press release this afternoon.
"To me, they were like the perfect couple… there was nothing to indicate that he was a violent person," Kristy's mother Patricia Flowers told the Washington Post. However, the Post also reported that Savoy "drank a lot and talked of the gun he kept in his car."
A window was open in the couple's second floor apartment at the time of the shooting, which is believed to have happened over the weekend. There were no reports of gunshots in the area, despite the presence of several apartment buildings immediately adjacent to and across the street from the scene.
"Officers and detectives have canvassed the area… we find it very unusual that no one reported it," ACPD spokesman Lt. Kip Malcolm told ARLnow.com.
Flowers is originally from Elyria, Ohio and was studying law at American University, according to social media pages. She worked as an analyst at Reston-based Leidos, the defense contractor formerly known as SAIC, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Savoy's Facebook page says he's an Army veteran and a native of Aquasco, Maryland.

(Updated at 10:30 p.m.) Arlington County Police are investigating a possible homicide in the Westover neighborhood.
A man and a woman were found dead this afternoon in a garden-style apartment building on the 1200 block of N. Kensington Street, three blocks from Swanson Middle School. Homicide investigators are on the scene, taking photos and gathering evidence.
Police believe the deaths are suspicious. It's possibly a case of murder-suicide, but that has not yet been confirmed, a police source tells ARLnow.com. According to ACPD spokesman Lt. Kip Malcolm, "there's no immediate threat to the community."
Police initially responded to the scene around 4:00 p.m. for a call to check on the welfare of an apartment resident, Malcolm said. According to the building's landlord, who declined to be identified, a window in the apartment had been open "for a few days" and the tenant had missed the last rent payment, which was "not like her," he said.
It has been more than two years since the last murder in Arlington. The last confirmed homicide in the county was the death of 87-year-old Mack L. Wood on Oct. 13, 2012.
Police are not releasing the identities of the deceased nor the cause of death until family members can be notified. ACPD issued the following statement about the investigation Monday night.
The Arlington County Police Department's Robbery/Homicide Unit is investigating the suspicious deaths of two Arlington County residents.
At 3:57 p.m., Arlington County Police received a "check on the welfare" call for a resident who resides in the 1200 block of N. Kensington Street. Responding officers were able to gain entry into the locked apartment utilizing a key. The bodies of two victims, a 29-year old male and a 31-year old female, were discovered inside. Detectives and crime scene technicians are on scene conducting the ongoing investigation.
At this time, there does not appear to be an immediate threat to the community.

(Updated at 1:10 p.m.) One of the proposals on the table for Arlington Public Schools' middle school seat expansion plan is moving the H-B Woodlawn program to the Reed School/Westover Library site, a proposal that has caught the ire of many Westover residents.
The Reed/Westover building currently houses the Children's School — the early education program for young children of APS employees — and the Integration Station, which serves pre-K students with disabilities. The building underwent a $22.5 million renovation in 2009, by far the most recent project of any of the sites APS is considering for expansion.
A group called "Concerned Citizens of Westover" has launched a Change.org petition asking the Arlington School Board to not move the H-B Woodlawn program to the Reed/Westover building. The petition has amassed 973 supporters as of publication.
"The proposed new HB Woodlawn renovation, would build over the recent costly renovation, displacing The Children's School, the Integration Station, impacting the current Westover Library and farmers market and would reduce/change the green space and fields in Westover," the petition states.
Two of the options currently on the table would see H-B Woodlawn move to the building with more construction: one would see the Stratford building on Vacation Lane expanded into a 1,300-seat neighborhood middle school, and another would expand the Stratford building to 1,000 seats and build a 300-seat addition somewhere else.
Other options on the table include moving H-B Woodlawn to the Wilson School site and expanding the Stratford site, or building a 1,300-seat neighborhood middle school at the Wilson School site, an option members of the School Board are leaning against.
A recent APS staff presentation suggests that Reed is "underutilized" and may be a suitable location for H-B Woodlawn because it would allow the school to maintain its current size and provide more green space than the Wilson School site.
According to APS staff, the 2009 Reed/Westover renovations were done to allow the building to structurally support future expansion, but expansion was originally planned for an elementary school, considering that Swanson Middle School is about a third of a mile away. Concern about too many students in a two block area of Westover is listed as a "challenge."
In addition to the petition, Westover residents created a video explaining why they oppose moving the H-B Woodlawn program to the building in their neighborhood. They have also created a video talking about how to "use Reed the right way" (below) — by using it as an elementary school instead of as a secondary school.
The School Board plans to vote on Dec. 18 on which middle school expansion plan to move forward with. The total budget for the 1,300-seat expansion is $126 million, and the Capital Improvement Plan the School Board passed this summer requires those seats to open by September 2019.

If you have a sweet tooth, get ready to spend time hanging out at a new shop coming to Westover. "Village Sweet" bakery is preparing to move in at 5872 Washington Blvd.
Owner Dawn Hart has operated a customized sugar cookie business online since 2006. She had wanted to expand her offerings and to secure a brick-and-mortar location, which would allow her to stop renting commercial kitchen space. It was her dream to open in Westover, the neighborhood where she lives, but she didn't think any space would open up. It just so happened that the day after she talked to her husband about the prospect of opening a bakery in Westover, he ran into the landlord for the space Village Sweet now will occupy.
"We're very excited and the location honestly could not be better," said Hart. "It's such a happening place."
Although customers can continue to order the customized cookies Hart made so popular with Monster Cookie Co., the shop will serve a wide variety of sweets. Donuts, guava and cotija cheese pastries, seasonal granolas and dark chocolate cookies with steal cut oats are some of the goodies Hart plans to offer. She's still playing around with the full menu and will do small recipe taste test events until the shop opens.
"We're pairing some things a lot of people probably have not had before and opening up some unique flavors," Hart said.
Something she's passionate about is making sure the treats taste good, but also are baked on-site each morning with quality, local ingredients. There will be gluten-free and nut-free options for customers with allergies.
"We're baking foods you're going to feel good about eating. They're not loaded with preservatives. They're the best quality pastries you can possibly get. It's just an updated version of your's mom's baking," said Hart. "If you're going to put a doughnut in your mouth, you should feel good about it. It's so important to me, the quality of what people are eating."
During the day the shop will have seating for customers, but certain nights will be designated for groups to rent out the space for custom cookie decorating parties. The bakers will come up with custom sugar cookies for nearly any occasion — such as kids' birthdays, book clubs and holiday parties — and customers get to ice and decorate the cookies however they choose.
Village Sweet does not yet have a firm opening date, but Hart hopes it will be in January. There will be a grand opening celebration once she feels operations are running smoothly.
Trade Roots (5852 Washington Blvd) in Westover has expanded with a new cafe.
The fair trade store recently renovated and opened the cafe, which serves fair trade coffee, tea and baked goods from two local bakeries: LeoNora Gourmet and Vera's Bakery. Owner Lisa Ostroff, who's preparing to celebrate two years in business next month, says the cafe will help the store serve the community and boost foot traffic.
"The store has received a warm response from customers throughout Northern Virginia, and we wanted to make Trade Roots even more of a gathering space for the neighborhood," she said.
The Trade Roots cafe will offer a "cup club" whereby frequent customers can bring in fair trade mug and have it hung on the wall, to be used during their next visit. The club will reduce the cafe's use of paper products, Ostroff said.
Trade Roots carries a variety of goods — including jewelry, clothes and home goods — that are eco-friendly, sustainable and produced by artisans for a fair wage.

The Italian Store that is coming to Westover is now under construction, and the owner hopes to be open in time for the holidays, before the end of 2014.
Construction was delayed for several months due to permitting issues, owner Robert Tramonte told ARLnow.com, but has been underway for three weeks. Tramonte announced last December that he was planning on opening a second location of his popular Lyon Village shop in the former 7-Eleven space at 5839 Washington Blvd.
The store will be 6,000 square feet, not including an outdoor café, Tramonte said. As opposed to the current Italian Store, at 3123 Lee Highway, the new location will have an on-site liquor license, so customers can drink the beer and wine sold on the premises.
"There are a lot of breweries coming up in Italy," Tramonte said. "It will be a very eclectic beer list. Wine is kind of my specialty, and we're going to have about three times as much space for wine as we do now. It's the Italian Store on steroids, basically."
The Westover location will have another feature the original does not: an Illy espresso bar, which will also serve gelato, and fresh-baked Italian pastries like cannoli and cornetti.
"I've always felt like even in my own store, if somebody asked me where can I get a good Italian pastry, and there's no real answer to that in this area," he said. "We have a lot of good sources right now and some that we cook ourselves, but I've never marketed them well in a display case. Over in the other store at Westover, we're going to have the space to merchandise really well and people would see them fresh out of the oven."
Lebanese Taverna, which began as a single storefront in Arlington operated by an immigrant couple and their five children, is celebrating its 35th anniversary with events and specials over the next two months.
On July 28 and 29 at the Westover location (5900 Washington Blvd) and Aug. 6 and 7 at Pentagon Row (1101 S. Joyce Street), Lebanese Taverna will serve dishes from its 1979 menu with the original prices to commemorate the year the restaurant opened.
The restaurant is also currently taking submissions for a social media contest, in which longtime customers can email the restaurant their favorite Lebanese Taverna memory and then vote on their favorites by liking them on the restaurant's Facebook page. A limousine will chauffeur the winners to different Lebanese Taverna locations for a five-to-six course meal, Shea said.
"We're celebrating our uniqueness," said Lebanese Taverna Vice President Grace Shea, the youngest child of founders Tanios and Marie Abi-Najm. "Thirty-five years is a long time for a restaurant to be open."
Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) will present a congressional proclamation of congratulations to the Abi-Najm family at a private event Friday evening, Shea said. The Westover restaurant will be open Friday at 6:30 p.m. for a kickoff event with the 1979 prices for invited guests from local civic associations and members of the public who happen to stop by.
"I'm proud of my family and what they've accomplished over the years," Shea said. "When my parents came here they had five kids, $500 and spoke no English."
The Abi-Najm family came to Arlington in 1976 to escape the civil war in Lebanon. Marie Abi-Najm worked as a teaching assistant and Tanios Abi-Najm did odd jobs and painted until they saved enough money to open their own restaurant in 1979, in the same storefront they still occupy just down the street from their house, Shea said.
"My dad always loved food and it was a way for him to bring a piece of Lebanon here to us," Shea said. Her mother came from Dfoun, Lebanon, a village famous for producing chefs.
At first, Lebanese Taverna served pizza and subs and operated under "Athenian Taverna," the name used by the previous tenants. Shea's parents and her four siblings in high school were the only employees during the first year, causing business to suffer, she said.
In 1979, the restaurant only offered shish kabob and hummus as menu specials because they were novelties for most Arlington residents. However, their traditional food starting piquing customers' interests after their first year in business, inspiring the Abi-Najm's to change the restaurant's name and put Lebanese fare on half their menu, according to Shea.
"We'd sit down for our family dinners at the restaurant and customers would say, 'Wow, what is that? We want some of that,'" Shea said. The restaurant kept its half-Italian menu until 1983.
Once the restaurant was officially Lebanese Taverna, a second location opened in 1990 on Connecticut Avenue in D.C. It later expanded to include the Lebanese Taverna Market in D.C., catering division, six restaurants and four cafés it has today.

(Updated at 3:05 p.m.) The Westover Beer Garden (5863 Washington Blvd), which once struggled to stay open under onerous Arlington County regulations, plans to open a second location near Clarendon next year.
The new beer garden will open on the ground floor of the new Garfield Park apartment building (925 N. Garfield Street). It will features a "beer garden and haus," a "butcher shop with emphasis on local farms," and an on-site brewpub that will offer "Arlington County's first local brew," according to owner Devin Hicks.
The new beer garden will also serve as a music and event venue and will offer food similar to the current location, but with an expanded menu.
"Our present Beer Garden and Haus utilizes the local, grass fed meats of our in-house butcher shop," Hicks noted. "Menu items include burgers with house-cured bacon, brisket, pulled pork, house made roast beef, corned beef, sandwiches, salads and a vast array of sides."
The brewpub will initially offer a double IPA, an IPA, a German-style pilsner and seasonal beers, all brewed on-site, according to Hicks. The brewpub will utilize a 10-15 barrel system, he said, and a brewing line may be made available for select local homebrewers. (A 30-barrel system is typical for a new, production craft brewery.)
"Arlingtonians love their beer and… I think the area's excited about having a local brew," said Hicks. "We wanted to stay in Arlington and this seemed like the appropriate spot. The area is begging for a venue like this."
The outdoor beer garden, in the semi-circular area in front of the Garfield Park building at the corner of Washington Blvd and 10th Street N., will have a 122-person capacity, according to Hicks. The venue's indoor capacity is 210.
Hicks says he hopes to open the new location by March of 2015.
Westover's Pete's Barber Shop is no longer home to its namesake now that Peter Xereas has retired.
Xereas, a Greek immigrant, had owned the barber shop at 5847 Washington Blvd since 1968 when he officially retired Feb. 28. Pete's was named the best barber shop in Arlington for 2013 by the readers of Arlington Magazine.
Chris Hewitt, who had worked under Xereas for about five years, has taken over the lease and operation along with his wife, Elaine Prettyman, who also works at the shop.
"He decided to hang up the clippers," Hewitt told ARLnow.com while attending to a customer's hair. "He's still in good health, and he said he wants to enjoy it."
Hewitt was hired after a barber had left Pete's for a different job. Hewitt said on his first day, Xereas let him know the shop would eventually be his.
"That first day, I was in the chair right next to him," Hewitt said. "He said 'I'm not gonna be working much longer, so when I retire, you can have the barber shop.' I said 'sounds good,' put my time in and tried to learn the place."
Hewitt said Xereas is planning on returning to his native Greece for the summer to visit his ill sister. Xereas had been planning to retire since his wife died last year, and the paperwork for transferring the lease and the business over to Hewitt was complete at the end of February.
When the customer in Hewitt's chair, Ed, heard ARLnow.com ask about how customers had been reacting to Xereas' retirement, Ed turned around and said, "Oh my goodness."
"That's how they have been reacting," Hewitt said with a laugh. "Pete loves his customers. He said he's going to miss everyone so much, so retiring was hard."
As news of Xereas' retirement spread to Pete's customer base, several regulars sent emails to ARLnow.com lamenting the loss of their favorite barber.
"The men in the house are going to look much worse for this turn of events," one reader wrote.
"He is an Arlington icon and will be missed," said another.
Toward the end of the haircut, Hewitt turned his customer's chair around and trimmed his eyebrows and his mustache.
"That's something Pete used to do," Ed said.

Batch processing photos is a very common need if you have digital camera or a mobile phone with a decent camera. I recently realized how cumbersome it can get when you have to make the same edits to hundreds of photos, just because the camera settings were not right to suit the conditions.
There are, of course, other uses for batch processing photos limited only by the type of application you are using. We have shown you some batch processors before The Top 3 Apps to Batch Rename, Convert & Resize Photos (Windows only) The Top 3 Apps to Batch Rename, Convert & Resize Photos (Windows only) Read More . However, those were focused on fairly trivial tasks that you could automate.
If you want to achieve something more challenging you would have to resort to Photoshop Actions or GIMP scripts. Or, as we shall do now, you can look into the cross platform application – Phatch. Phatch is an awesome tool that lets you do a number of operations to a batch of your photos in a snap. As the Phatch website details, Phatch is actually "photo + batch"!
DEB packages and a PPA are available for Ubuntu users, installation on Windows and Mac is bit more involved and requires you to download and install Python and wxPython separately before you can use Phatch. Nevertheless, follow the instructions on the Phatch download page and installation is fairly trivial.
Once you have Phatch on your computer, fire it up and let's see what this baby can do. You will be greeted by a Phatch window prompting you to add actions. Click the '+' sign and it opens up a window wherein you can choose various actions that Phatch photo batch processor can perform on your photos.
There are a number of actions you can choose from. The actions are categorized according to the function they perform. For example, you can find actions to downsize or crop an image under "Size" and actions to remove or manipulate exif data under the "Metadata" category. Click on the action you want to perform and hit Add. You can now specify various parameters as required by the actions. You can enable/disable added actions, remove actions from your list or change the order of the actions to achieve what you want. You would need to add a "Save action" at the end of the list. If you don't, Phatch will prompt and add one for you.
Let's now put Phatch to test and try to accomplish something fairly challenging. Let's say you have got a batch of images out of your camera and they seem too flat. You would like to adjust contrast, add a border, crop them to a specific size, remove metadata and add watermark so that they all look the consistent when you upload them to say – your Facebook album. Here is one possible way Phatch can accomplish this:
- Add the Crop action, specify the parameters according to your requirements
- Add the Auto Contrast action
- Add the Border action and specify the border size and color
- Add the Delete Tags action and choose all
- Add the Watermark action, choose the watermark image and specify other details
- Add the Save action, choose the filename and location and you are all set to roll
Now go to the Tools menu and choose Execute. You can choose the files/folders containing the images you would like to apply the action list to. Choose the filetypes you want to process and uncheck the ones you want to ignore. Customize a bunch of other settings according to your needs and hit Batch. Phatch will faithfully do whatever you taught it above and you can then view the results in Save action's configured folder.
Phatch is really an extraordinary tool if you need a tool for batch processing photos. It offers a lot of functionality and actions that can utilize in your batch processing. Do you know of any similar application? Let us know in comments!

The Horse Forum (http://www.horseforum.com/forumindex.php)
- Horse Talk (/horse-talk/)
- - Question (http://www.horseforum.com/horse-talk/question-47334/)
I was wondering, is there any kind of place that has a gathering with horses, like Sturgis or Daytona bike week? But just with horses?
Just a place to have fun, ride horses and meet new people?
The Olympics + big shows bring out people. I know there is places where you bring your horse for a camping weekend and other people are there too.
There are organized rides in most, if not all, states. Try googling "equine clubs in MI" or "trail rides in MI". Anything like that should get you to some links. Equine clubs have all sorts of organized things and there are many weekend or daily rides that you can find with a little help from google.
When I moved to SC from PA, that is what I did to find trails, and riding partners, as well as events.
Get yourself involved in your local competitive trail and endurance club.
If you meant something more along the line of a 'horse rally', I know of a large beach ride organized each November (I believe that's when it is) in South Carolina. I've ridden it and people bring every breed imaginable. Some people even drive their horses down the beach.

Cambio tecnologico y dinamica industrial en América latina
[Technological change and industrial dynamics in Latin america]
Topics that this article analyses constitute an intersection between technological change and industrial dynamics literature. Analysis is centered around the relationship between the shapes of technical knowledge accumulation in a given industry and the probability that innovation could be the vehicle to new firm entrance to the sector. Studies for developed countries adopt two approaches: technological regimes and industry life cicle, both take an evolutionary perspective. Section II offers a review of that literature. Section III, after examining if different sector modes of innovatory processes are associated with different timing, characters and survival chances for entrants in a given industry, focuses on dynamics conclusions emerging from technological change for manufacturing firms in Latinamerican countries. Section IV offers some final marks. The main contributions of this article are: i) an original perspective for technological change understanding in Latinamerica with an equivalent notion of "technological advantage" employed in studies for developed countries; ii) it suggests that in a context where firms innovate mainly through absortion of knowledge developed by other organizations, established firms tend to accumulate advantages in order to incorporate technical progress and iii) following that, in those activities where product or process innovation constituye competitive advantages for established firms, innovative entry will be less frequent.

The issue of whether the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can introduce evidence of a supervisor's own misconduct to show employer knowledge of an OSHA violation has created a split in the circuit courts. In ComTran Group, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Labor, decided on July 24, 2013, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that OSHA cannot impute a supervisor's knowledge of his own misconduct to the employer to establish a critical element of an OSHA case—that the employer knew of the violation. In so holding, the Eleventh Circuit joins the Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Circuits on this issue.
A Georgia communications utilities company was relocating some county utility lines near Lawrenceville, Georgia in December of 2010. The company sent a two-man crew, consisting of a supervisor and a relatively new helper to do the job. On the second day of the job, the crew ran into a problem: they couldn't find the utility line. The crew initially dug a four-foot trench, with the spoil pile properly set back from the excavation. But the inability to find the line frustrated the supervisor, who jumped into the trench and on his own began to dig to find the line. In the process, he dug himself into a six-foot hole (triggering OSHA's sloping and shoring requirements), and the spoil pile crept to the edge of the excavation.
As luck would have it, an OSHA inspector was driving by the location. The inspector spotted a huge spoil pile and a hard hat poking up out of the trench, and reported the situation to his area office. The area office dispatched a compliance officer, who found the supervisor still in the trench, trying to locate the line. The OSHA inspector ordered the supervisor out of the trench and began an inspection. The supervisor realized he had not met OSHA's requirements and blamed himself for getting lost in his work. No other employees besides the supervisor were exposed. OSHA ultimately cited the company for two OSHA violations, under 29 C.F.R. § 1926.651(j)(2) (excavated material must be kept at least two feet from the edge of an excavation) and § 1926.652(a)(1) (generally requiring sloping, benching, and adequate support systems in excavations greater than five feet in depth).
The company contested the citations, arguing that the company itself did not know of the problem. (The supervisor's boss had stopped by the project on the second day to check on the crew, but before the supervisor began to literally dig himself into a hole.)
One of the most critical elements OSHA must establish in proving a violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) is evidence of employer knowledge of the violation. OSHA argued that since the supervisor himself knew that he was not in compliance, the agency could impute his knowledge to the company under the principle of vicarious liability. The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) administrative law judge (ALJ) affirmed the citations, siding with OSHA on the issue. The OSHRC declined the company's petition for review. The company then appealed the case to the Eleventh Circuit.
On appeal, the issue was one of first impression in the Eleventh Circuit, but the court noted that it did not operate with a blank slate as five other circuit courts had previously addressed the issue. The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Circuits all had held that OSHA could not use a supervisor's own misconduct as evidence of employer knowledge. The Sixth Circuit, on the other hand, held to the contrary.
OSHA urged the court to reject the four other circuit's holdings, arguing, among other things, that they were "decided a long time ago." The court rejected OSHA's argument. "Judicial decisions . . . are not spoilable like milk," wrote District Judge C. Roger Vinson, sitting by designation for the Eleventh Circuit. "They do not have an expiration date and go bad merely with passage of time." The Eleventh Circuit decided to join the four circuits, primarily for one reason: fairness. Ordinarily, when an employer entrusts to a supervisory employee its duty to assure compliance with safety standards, it is reasonable to charge the employer with the supervisor's knowledge—actual or constructive—of the noncomplying conduct of a subordinate. Supervisors, after all, are the company's eyes and ears in the field.
But a different situation presents itself when the supervisor himself violates the rules. The company becomes "blind and deaf" in those situations, and it would be fundamentally unfair to impute unforeseeable supervisor misconduct to the company. To show employer knowledge in this situation, OSHA must show evidence independent of the supervisor's own misconduct. For example, if the company had lax safety standards, then perhaps a supervisor's misconduct may have been foreseeable. But there was no evidence of the company's safety record in this case. The Eleventh Circuit reversed the ALJ's decision and remanded the case back to the Review Commission for further proceedings.
The decision provides some relief to employers in the Eleventh Circuit (Georgia, Florida, and Alabama) worried that a supervisor's own idiosyncratic misconduct will essentially create strict liability for OSHA violations. But employers still need to ensure that their safety programs are effective and enforced. Otherwise, OSHA will show that it was reasonable to anticipate a supervisor mindlessly jumping into an unguarded excavation if the company has a slipshod safety culture.

The handling of customer data is one of the thorniest business issues of the 21st century. If companies aren't struggling to determine which versions of their customer records are accurate and up to date, they're scrambling to do damage control in the wake of security breaches that expose sensitive information to prying eyes.
And while there are countless software products designed to aid in tackling those issues, it may be the emerging business practice known as data governance that holds the most potential for companies to get a handle on their fast-growing pools of information.
Data governance is an idea that's gaining momentum among IT and security executives who are proclaiming that enough is enough. And with good reason: Companies estimate they're losing 6% of sales because of poor management of customer data, according to a recent survey conducted by data broker Experian's QAS division for data quality management.
At its most basic, data governance is a programmatic approach to managing information across an organization. It involves a formal set of business processes and policies designed to ensure that data is handled in a prescribed fashion, with any human intervention handled by trained data stewards. It's the opposite of what most companies have been doing until now, a more application-specific approach that only meets project-specific needs.
"You usually start data governance because there's a big problem," says Robert Garigue, VP of information integrity at Bell Canada. "If you don't have the right controls, you're going to have a business disaster when it spills out into the public." Just ask any of the dozens of companies that have been bitten by publicly disclosed customer data breaches over the past year. No wonder Garigue refers to customer data as potentially "toxic content."
Garigue, who left his post as chief information security officer at Bank of Montreal to join Bell Canada earlier this year, is one of a handful of IT execs at the forefront of the data governance push. He got into this effort in 2004, when he entered into an ongoing dialogue with Bank of Montreal's chief privacy officer, senior VP of corporate resources, and others about the need to take a hard look at data management and security. The problem came to light, he says, when the company deduced that poor data was making it difficult to undertake application integration projects. Customer information was stored in 10 to 15 apps--each with its own distinct, often conflicting, data sets. There was no way to know which system had the most authoritative customer record, so integration efforts stalled.
Power In Numbers
All this led Garigue to become one of the early participants in a data governance council IBM formed in 2004. Chaired by Steve Adler, IBM's program director for data governance solutions, the council consists of about 50 IT and security execs from IBM customers. They gather quarterly to discuss data management challenges and share best practices. Garigue continues to participate in the council on behalf of Bell Canada, where he's spending his first months pushing the debate about data governance throughout the company.
Based on conversations with his peers, Garigue says IT execs have a growing awareness that the information management software they've been using is only as effective as the processes, policies, and people they support. "A lot of organizations are realizing they need to do something, but they're not exactly sure what that is," he says. "Technology is going to be an element of the solution, but you have to have a governance program around it."
As companies grapple with their first efforts at data governance, help from vendors is limited. Most of the big software vendors haven't established clear strategies for customer data governance and have focused instead on developing master data management tools designed for all types of corporate information, AMR Research analyst Rob Bois says.
Oracle may be headed in the right direction thanks to its acquisition of Siebel Systems, but it hasn't established a time line for converging its Customer Data Hub with Siebel's Universal Customer Master product, both of which could act as clearinghouses for definitive customer records.
