Thermometer spill prompts evacuation at Babcock
Thermometer spill prompts evacuation at Babcock
WESTERLY — School officials ordered the evacuation of Babcock Hall on the Westerly High School campus for several hours on Tuesday "in an abundance of caution" following a small mercury spill in a closed area of the building.
A custodian was cleaning in the old cafeteria, now used for storage in the Highland Avenue facility, when some mercury spilled from a thermometer. Superintendent Roy M. Seitsinger Jr. said the instrument was in an incorrectly labeled fireproof box.
Seitsinger said calls were immediately made to the Rhode Island departments of health and environmental management in accordance with safety protocol. The agencies provided immediate information and sent representatives to the school — John Leo, DEM's head of hazardous materials incidents, and Dr. Robert Vanderslice of the state Department of Health.
Students, faculty, staff members and children in day care were evacuated at about 11 a.m., said Seitsinger, while the custodian was taken to the hospital by Westerly Ambulance personnel as a "precaution," he said. The custodian, who indicated to school and rescue personnel that she had no symptoms of distress, was advised to go to the hospital for observation. She was later released and returned to work.
Seitsinger said DEM personnel found a small amount of "mercury vapor" only in the unoccupied area of the building where the thermometer contents spilled. That area was cleared. He said all other areas of the school were checked with no indication of any hazardous conditions.
The school was closed until 1 p.m., with some students going to the Ward building for the remainder of the day. Day care providers and teachers had children outside and away from the building and kept them busy with activities until they were allowed to re-enter.
Seitsinger said the Westerly Fire Department was not notified because DEM had told school officials that this was not a situation in which the authorities were worried about a flammable product. In retrospect, the superintendent said he believes Fire Chief John Mackay, or any other fire district chief, should be notified of similar incidents in the future. Mackay said Wednesday that he had not heard about the incident until long after its conclusion and believed he should have been notified.
Seitsinger said he initiated a schoolwide alert at about 2:30 p.m. as a "normal procedure" to announce to the faculty, staff and students what had occurred in the previous hours. Later in the evening, at around the time he estmated that most families would be having dinner, a call was made to all parents through the school district's alert system.
Some parents complained that they were not told of the situation earlier in the day. One mother, expressing her "outrage" on Facebook, said she did not receive the call alerting parents to a "hazardous chemical spill" until 7:10 p.m. One parent, Terri Davidson, said she believed that a notification should have gone out earlier.
Police Chief Edward St. Clair said his department "didn't have any involvement" with the incident. He said the school resource officer was on duty as part of his regular duties.
Seitsinger said he planned to hold a meeting of those involved to discuss how the incident was handled, what protocols were successful and what could be done differently in the future.

TUPELO – The Tupelo Convention and Visitors Bureau said Tuesday it collected $271,940 in tourism sales tax in October, up 10.04 percent from October 2010.
The jump comes after the CVB posted a 12.56 percent drop in September.
For the first three months of the fiscal year, the city's tourism tax revenues were down 1.52 percent from fiscal year 2010.
Last year, tourism revenue grew 2.82 percent.
The tax comes from a 2 percent tax on hotels, motels and restaurants in Tupelo.
In addition, the CVB received a $25,000 grant from the Mississippi Development Authority's tourism division to market and promote the "Mississippi's Last Battlegrounds" Civil War partnership.

Actor Paul Walker's injuries following his car crash in November were so bad none of his organs were fit to be donated.
The Fast and the Furious star was a passenger in a Porsche that his friend and business partner, Roger Rodas, lost control of in Santa Clarita, California.
The actor officially died from the "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries", but a more comprehensive report, obtained by TMZ.com, lists several other injuries, including multiple bone fractures.
The report also states none of Walker's organs were suitable for donation because of the extent of his injuries. Walker's jaw, collarbone, left upper arm, ribs and pelvis were fractured by the impact of the crash.
The new autopsy details also confirm neither Walker nor Rodas had drugs or alcohol in their systems at the time of the accident.

Bench Press Plateaus
One of the interesting things I learn from dealing with young guys is that they all think they will hit a hard bench press plateau after about 4 to 8 weeks.
So, I thought I would ask...how long did it take for you to hit a "real" plateau on bench press? Plateau perhaps meaning you could not add a single rep for a couple of months... |
Haven't hit one yet in three years.
LtL |
That is so dependant on many variables; the rest of the routine, progression scheme, diet, goals for the cycle, and including little things that can extend a cycle. It can vary a lot for me. Most of the young pups stall early because they start too heavy.
Took me about 8 months or so to reach a true plateau on the Bench of around 100kg, and I was basically struggling with that plateau for some three years.
The issue was not enough volume, as soon as I started pumping up the volume and frequency my Bench went up. This is not to say more volume is always the answer, but it was in this case, at that time. |
No such thing as a Plateau :rockon::rockon::rockon:
I think i got 15 or more years to go before i see one.
Maybe we shouldn't classify them as plateaus, but rather refer to them as sticking points.
Plateaus, sticking points...whatever you want to called a prolonged stall.
I lifted from '86 to '90 without a bench stall, then entered the military. Picked up with serious lifting again in 1996 and moved up in bench for several years without stalling. So it took me about 5-6 years to hit a bench plateau. In 2008 I tore my left shoulder lifting a barrel at work and had to start benching from scratch. I hit a stall in mid-2009 around a 350-360 bench and that lasted for nearly 2 years. Heavy benching just left me with too many strains. Thankfully I found the Sling Shot. |
I just hit one recently(as you may know). but it has taken me about a year of low rep flat bench training for it to occur. And I've just added some DE work (also as you may know) and it seems to be progressing again.
The stall has only been a matter of 4-8 weeks, so I don't know if you would actually consider that a real plateau. |

Obama trumpets proposals to lower college costs
- Associated Press
- August 16, 2014 - 5:05 AM
EDGARTOWN, Mass. — President Barack Obama is calling on Congress and colleges to help make the cost of higher education more manageable.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says higher education is "the surest ticket to the middle class." But he says paying for that education is a constant struggle for many families.
Obama reiterated his call for Congress to pass legislation letting students refinance their loans at lower interest rates. And he highlighted his plan to tie federal financial aid for colleges to the school's performance.
In the weekly Republican address, Georgia Rep. Doug Collins calls on Senate Democrats to pass bills approved by the GOP-led House. He says the Senate has failed to take action on more than 340 House-passed bills, including some with bipartisan support.

Meeting Summary Sharon Sanders welcomed the practitioners present on behalf of the Area Manager, Joyce Peneau. Practitioner Overview Update The vendor will develop and maintain the registration application system and address related questions. The IRS will maintain full oversight of the registration process and registered preparers. As the process continues, further announcements and updates will be provided. September 1, 2010 is the current target date for the on-line registration system. An official system launch date will be one of the initial determinations made in the weeks ahead as the IRS and Accenture National Security Services, LLC, begin working together on development of the system. The following questions were raised in regards to the Return Preparer Compliance visits: Affordable Health Care & The HIRE Act Credits Another question: will the business credit be limited or reduced in any way? Answer: The business credit is the lesser of $1,000 or 6.2% of the wages paid (for purposes of income tax withholding) to the qualified employee during the 52 consecutive week period. For more information regarding the new HIRE Act, check here: HIRE Act: Questions and Answers for Employers. For the Affordable Health Care Act, a question was asked about whether the amount of the credit affects the employer's deduction for health insurance premiums? Answer: Yes it does. In determining the employer's deduction for health insurance premiums, the amount of premiums that can be deducted is reduced by the amount of the credit. Check here for more information regarding the Small Business Health Care Act, and here for Frequently Asked Questions addressing Small Business Health Care credit. Additional questions raised: Modernized E-File Updates For The Filing Season Keith discussed the legacy e-file processing platform versus the Modernized e-file processing platform. There will be a transition period as more types of returns are brought on the Modernized e-file program. For returns processed this year, there were very few software providers that were able to offer processing utilizing the modernized e-file platform. This was likely due to the limited number of returns being offered as available for processing under modernized e-filing. One of the major benefits of Modernized E-file is the almost immediate notice that the return has been received. E-file statistics show a continued growth and increased each year for the preferred method of filing returns. The number one error reported related to the Earned Income Credit. Potential New Issues & Status Updates Issue Management Resolution System (IMRS) Status Update Regina Lauridsen addressed a carryover issue from the last meeting regarding the verification of credentials with a Power-of-Attorney request received. She confirmed this was addressed via IMRS, and that there is a process in place for certifying and verifying the credentials of someone claiming to be a CPA, EA, etc. Regina also gave an overview on IMRS that included the three categories issues primarily captured: Hot Topics; Industry and the Monthly Overview. The Monthly Overview includes updates on new, closed or elevated issues. Regina noted that there are two phone forums approaching, one of June 09, 2010 on the new preparer guidelines, and another on June 23, 2010 for other POA issues. Potential New Issues Notices to College Students - Apparently notices went out to college students, which included individuals who were employed full-time, giving the impression that as students, they were exempt from withholding. It is not clear where the notices originated; it does not appear that they stemmed from IRS. Several practitioners reported that they had clients with this experience. This could result in an issue for next year when people have mistakenly claimed exempt. There was a question as to what extent the FTB was addressing these questionable W-4's, since the IRS monitoring is done after the return has been filed. Form 8109, Federal Tax Deposit Coupon Proposed Phase Out - The group wanted to know if the 8109 Federal Tax Deposit Coupon was being completely phased out and if so, was the mailing address location going to still be available for mailing deposit payments? The Treasury Goes Green, Saves, Green press release was issued on April 19, 2010 addressing the proposed phase-out of F-8109. The only exception to not using the EFTPS would be if the tax liability is less than $2,500, allowing the business owner to submit the payment with the return. Businesses that have a deposit requirement will be required to pay electronically using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, EFTPS, starting in 2011. At this time, the mailing address for federal tax deposits remains the same, as listed on page ?? of Publication 15 and also HERE: Roundtable & Comments The roundtable discussion included the downturn in the number of taxpayers using a paid preparer this past filing season. Several CPA's and EA's acknowledged that their business was off by an average of 10-15% from 2009, most likely due to the economic downturn. They felt many clients self-prepared their returns using software like TurboTax. Also discussed was the change in the FIT withholding tax tables for last year as a result of the Making Work Pay Tax Credit. The change resulted in many taxpayers being upset with practitioners about having a balance due on their filed returns, or getting less of a refund than anticipated. The general discussion was that the IRS could have done a better job of educating the public on the impact of the lowered withholding tables, and the possibility of not enough taxes being withheld. The practitioners believed that there should have been more outreach and education to the general public regarding the availability of the IRS Withholding Calculator to ensure that enough FIT was being withheld. With the Making Work Pay Tax Credit available again this year, concern was expressed that taxpayers could once more be adversely affected by being under-withheld at the end of this year. The practitioners implored IRS to do a better outreach job with notices to employers, taxpayers, and to practitioners. Meeting Survey forms were distributed and collected after completion.
Dan Breece presented an update on the status of Return Preparer Initiative. A vendor has been identified and selected for the IRS to work with in setting up the on-line registration. Accenture National Security Services, LLC, is the vendor that will establish a system for on-line registration of paid tax return preparers. The system will support the first phase of increased IRS oversight of federal tax return preparers, as outlined in the Return Preparer Review issued on January 4, 2010.
Sharon Sanders discussed the Affordable Health Care Act and the New HIRE Act. There were some questions regarding how the HIRE credit could be claimed in 2011 when the 52 week retention requirement did not start until after March 17, 2010? Answer: The credit will be claimed on the employer's 2011 income tax return. It is not known at this time where on the 2011 return the credit will be claimed.
Around the country, wherever IRS has a campus, they usually arrange to meet with the tax community on a regular basis. Here in Los Angeles, Sharon D. Sanders the Senior Stakeholder Liaison Specialist, arranges to meet with us every three or four months.
This is a dynamic team, consisting of representatives of various CPA groups, EA chapters, ethnic accounting societies and other tax organizations. I am honored to be included, as representing the San Fernando Valley Chapter of CSEA and the public, who write to TaxMama on a regular basis. I can give them voice at IRS.
Over the years, we've been able to identify issues that need correcting or improving, or just help find ways to make communications with taxpayers work more easily.
These are notes from the IRS Stakeholder meeting – LA - 05/13/2010

One Shot
While reader Hill has proven himself to be an all-purpose narrator with a 200-plus audiography, his specialty is interpreting suspense and crime fiction like this bullet-paced thriller. Written lean enough to make Hemingway seem chatty, the ninth novel to feature the resourceful ex-military cop Jack Reacher begins with a bare-bones description of an unemotional sniper prepping for and carrying out a mass slaying in the business area of an unnamed Indiana city. The killer's dispassion is chilling, and Hill, who has narrated the author's previous titles, matches the mood with an objectivity that raises the goose-bump level even higher. When Reacher, one of fiction's more reticent heroes, arrives on the scene, Hill provides him with a brusque, confident, properly manly voice, but adds a note of wariness that subtly suggests the adventurer's cynical nature. This tops a gallery of smart audio portraits, each with his own identifiable accent. Child has purposely designed the novel to move forward unfettered by stylish flourishes, and Hill follows that plan, concentrating mainly on increasing the pace as the story speedballs to its satisfying conclusion. Simultaneous release with the Delacorte hardcover (Reviews, May 23). (July)

"Scandal" is digging deeper into Olivia's life and with every episode, the glimpses into her past are allowing us to understand who she is. Also, they're letting us in to the fact that Rowan Pope is a beast in his own right. Below are top 10 moments/scenes from episode 2 of Scandal's season 3, title "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."
1. Pope and Pope Sunday Dinner (flashback) – In a flashback from five years before, Olivia is at dinner with her dad, because it's part of a deal that forces him to pay her law school debt. Also, it's his way of making amends for not being a great father to her after her mom died (which I don't believe). She mentions her boyfriend (Senator Edison Davis). When she leaves dinner with her father and waits for the train, two people try to mug her, but Huck, her homeless buddy beats them down like the pro Olivia didn't realize he was!
2. Liv and Fitz's phone call – Olivia goes for a run when Tom, Fitz's Secret Service guy runs alongside of her and slips her a phone so she can talk to him. The two fantasize about getting married, having four kids, living in Vermont, and making jam. Talk about a dream deferred. Liv tells Fitz that Jeannine (the lady who is being called his mistress) is her client and she will come after the White House. He encourages her, because let's face it. He cares less about that office than he does about Olivia.
3. Huck's B613 Confession (flashback) – The next time Olivia sees Homeless Huck in the train station, she asks him how he beat her muggers up so well. He tells her "I can kill a man with very little" and says he was formerly a part of a secret CIA operative called B613. Liv thinks he's in need of medication for his delusions but when she gets to dinner with Papa Pope, she tells him about it. She even tells him to look into it for her but Rowan laughs it off and tells her to stop talking to homeless strangers, but his eyes darken as Liv sips on her wine. For all she knows, her dad works at the Smithsonian.
4. Mellie's Scheme – After realizing that President Fit isn't willing to name Jeannine as his mistress, Mellie comes up with a plan of her own. She tells Cyrus to match up the dates she was out of town and the dates where Fitz had an opportunity to possibly sleep with the aide. Cyrus marvels at her scheme and he says "You're evil." Her reply? "You're welcome."
5. Rowan's Dealings – Rowan shows up at the Gladiator office and Olivia introduces the staff to her father. As soon as they're alone, she tells him that they have a deal for him to stay away from Huck. She asks about Jake and her dad tells her that if she doesn't let Jeanine take the fall for being Fitz's mistress, she won't see him again. UH OH.
Watch "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner:"

6. Wonderland (flashback) – Olivia hasn't seen Huck in the train station, so at Sunday dinner, she asks Rowan, who vehemently denies the existence of B613. She's not convinced so she does her own research and finally realizes that her own father is the leader of the secret group. When she confronts him at dinner, he drops his sweet dad act and warns Olivia "if you push, you will know me well." AW SNAP!
7. Baby Huck's Warning – After Papa Pope's visit to the Gladiator office, Quinn is curious about him and Liv's relationship so she gets to digging. Huck tells her "Be less like me and more like Liv." But we know Perkins is not one to listen well.
8. Rowan's Dastardly Deeds (flashback) – Huck is released out of the hole at Wonderland, and back at his post in the train station with a black eye. When Liv sees him there, she calls her father. Rowan tells her that her now-fiance Edison has been in an unfortunate "accident" and he'll survive but she needs to know he is not the man for her. She tries to break up with her own dad and he tells her "we're family, sweetie. We're never done." He might be the worst daddy ever.
9. Mellie's Move, Olivia's Call and Fitz's Checkmate – Knowing that Fitz is still not trying to get Jeannine to take the fall as his mistress, Mellie calls the innocent girl and makes a deal to give her $2 million in a Cayman Island account. Olivia places a desperate call to Fitz, telling him to SAVE JAKE because she cannot burn her client and also lose the person who saved her. She also calls her dad and tells him that she will do Sunday dinner with him if he lets Jake live. Right before Jeannine is scheduled to tell her story, Fitz calls a press conference admitting to sleeping with the aide. He effectively cheated Mellie, Jeannine and Vice President Sally Langston out of what they wanted in one moment. And his move got an extra stamp when he said "How presidential are my ….. now, Cyrus?" This line won Fitz the episode's best one-liner award.
10. Quinn's discovery and Huck's Reaction – Quinn never did stop digging and she tells Huck that she found out Olivia was telling her father about a homeless guy who lived at Union Station. It dawns on Huck that her father is not only a part of B613, but possibly the head. Huck finds Liv in the parking garage and asks "Is your father command?" He's so angry because she had told him she'd never lie to him, so he grabs her by the head, as if he was ready to choke the betrayal out of her. She says "yes he is" and he lets her go and flees.
A lost Liv is at home when her father calls to tell her to open the door. She does and finds a beaten up Jake at her door. He slumps to the floor. At least he's alive.
Well now we know why Liv resents her father so much. He's a manipulative monster who makes Cyrus looks like a saint. We also find out that Rowan's other name is Eli, which is used for his cover-up identity. There was just so much happening in this hour.
Poll question: Do you think Huck could ever forgive Olivia for not being honest with him about her father? Choices: Yes or No

Anyone notice how miserable Harbaugh has looked on the sideline at the end of games this year. No one feels worse about a tough game than the Head Coach and we've had enough drama to send our GM to the hospital. And that was before the nail biters we had against Pitt and Minny.
We all know how dedicated and passionate he is about his job. I seriously hope he looks out for himself. I don't care how much other team's fans seem to dislike him, Harbaugh East is a class act.

I just re-watched the highlights, and do you guys realize how PERFECT that last throw from Joe was?
It literally misses the leaping linebackers reach by about 1 inch, perfect touch, perfect accuracy, perfect throw to win a game in those conditions, and NOBODY is talking about it today. If that had been ANY OTHER Superbowl-winning QB or "elite" QB, there'd be people everywhere talking about it, but since it's Joe Flacco and the Ravens, it was just "meh, another game the Ravens won. Good for them. BUT HOW ABOUT BRADY AND THAT COMEBACK!!! GOAT!!"
That throw was just so perfect on so many levels.
I did think to myself, when the Pats made their own comeback, that the media bobbleheads would be relieved that they could wax lyrical about him, instead of maybe having to pretend to be interested in Flacco and the Ravens.
Honestly, NFL AM says that this was their "Game of the Day", then proceeds to not talk about it at all (that I saw, I can only make it through an hour of that show before they start repeating themselves. Literally, rerunning segments from that first hour, two or three more times). Eh, it's expected, I guess.
But yes, that throw from Flacco is exactly the sort of thing I was talking about when I said he sometimes makes this game look so very easy. There are plays he makes that are so smooth and pretty, so precisely on the money, that you know if it had been made by Manning or Brady, they'd be on every highlight reel for the whole
, never mind a particular game.

Wow... I just stopped in the Vikings GDT and... I'm speechless. Only read the last page. Somehow alleged snowballs make Harbs a scumbag? Apparently Matt Cassell looked worlds better than Joe Flacco? What is going on in there?

Is there any confirmation that this actually happened? Or was anything more than a few random scattered A-holes? I feel like this is really stretching to create a narrative of something bad that happened.

Lulz. I'm not entirely familiar with how Twitter works, but assuming it were possible, I'd love for someone to post that on AP's twitter account.

Watching how the snow travels, I'm doubting anyone could hit the Vikings sideline unless it was right in front of them, even with our special death ice balls. Otherwise, we need to get these kids into the O's bullpen.

Meh... I thought the snowballs part was funny, but I thought it got worse by some of the interference from Ravens fans. After a loss, a fanbase is subject to some illogical asides to help them cope with a loss IMO. But laughing at that is just going to antagonize at best and lead to a few warnings at worst. Luckily that didn't happen, but all in all they were respectful and cool about the loss. Didn't really see the need to jump in and 'correct' them on anything or laugh. Maybe just point out the nature of Harbaugh's response respectfully and how that quote came about, and then move on.
The only thing I can't say I was astounded by was the notion that Cassel was world's better than Flacco in that game. I suppose one can argue "better", but one has to wonder how the Ravens won the game at all if their QB was "world's better" than Flacco... unless our defense was also "world's better" to allow us that chance? Or we had a world beating running effort (though according to our usual standards that probably would be somewhat accurate to say). Because even with how bad the refs were in our favor, they certainly didn't make enough calls to where it made us a worldly better performer on both sides of the ball... or maybe it did? Oh well, I'll take the less than world beating performance from Flacco if he can lead two potential GWDs in the 4th Qrt over just throwing a screen pass where the WR did most of the heavy lifting for the score, the guy who, without that completion goes:
16/37 (43%)- 186 yd (5.03 Y/A), 1 TD
Flacco played bad for a good part of the game, but no question he was on in the 4th. One of his INTs bounced off the hands of Jacoby Jones and if caught likely leads to us scoring on our previous drive.
In no world did I see Cassel have a superior game, let alone a vastly superior game. He did nothing more than manage the game. Flacco had 50 attempted passes in poor conditions... turned the ball over more, but also completed more passes (56%) and scored on more occasions (3 TDs)... which, with the Ravens winning the game by 3 points... scoring more points definitely meant the difference between the two players in this game where both QBs played crappy in crappy conditions.
17/38 (45%)- 265 yds (6.97 YA), 2 TDs
28/50 (56%)- 245 yds (4.9 YA), 3 TDs, 3 INTs
Is only worlds better if one is into stat watching. I don't think anyone watching that Patterson play thought... 'WOW, what an excellent pass by Cassel to give Patterson the score.' He hit a receiver in contested situations, he didn't lead him with a beautiful pass or look off a defender to clear some space for an open field of YAC... Literally a HS quarterback could have made that pass and the same result happens on that play. And not a prep star, my HS QB could have made that pass... and Patterson goes in for the score...

We bring the focus back on the surgical jousting tournament between Hoon and Jae-joon, where the number of rounds is as arbitrary as the whole concept itself. Oddly enough, it's remarkable how this world can seem so small when it hones in on one hospital conflict at a time. History threatens to repeat itself in the face of another possible case of malpractice, and it's up to one of our cardiothoracic surgeons to suture the issue before it bursts.
The ratings race gets even tighter this week as Doctor Stranger clocked a 11.0% and Big Man came in second with 10.7%.
BEAST – "이젠 아니야 (No More)" [ Download ]
On his morning run, Jae-joon's thoughts are filled with his desperate pleas that ended the previous episode for Chairman Oh to give him another chance. Since everything about his character is metaphor-related, naturally his accessories are too—his PPL watch tells him to hurry it up a little.
A flashback to last night teaches us that Chairman Oh had granted Jae-joon entry and one more chance after all. He claims Jae-joon should thank his lucky stars for two things: (a) his attachment to Soo-hyun and (b) Hoon's illegal peek at Seung-hee's medical records, thus giving him another round in that arbitrary competition against Hoon.
Meanwhile, Chi-gyu awakes to a very different kind of morning as he winces in embarrassment at the recollection of last night's drunken antics. Spotting the head of hair to his right, his first thought is of Soo-hyun, so he carefully looks underneath the covers and jumps in a mix of shock, relief, and horror to find a mannequin lying there instead.
His flirtatious advances towards a plastic model aside, Chi-gyu answers Jae-joon's call and assures him that Soo-hyun probably made it back home all right. A hand creeping up his chest has him check his left, which leads to another round of shock, relief, and horror to see Doctor Geum.
Evidently the partying cardiothoracic surgeons all crashed at Soo-hyun's place last night. At the sight of two different shoes, the two docs' eyes widen, remembering that Hoon followed Soo-hyun upstairs.
Following the trail of clothes, they gasp to see two pairs of bare feet in bed together. This entire sequence is ridiculous and yet strangely hilarious—maybe it's the techno-electronic music in this scene.
Anyway, it's Doctor Moon in the same bed as Hoon, though the discovery makes it no less shocking for anyone in the room. As for Soo-hyun, she wakes on the floor, and then proceeds to brandish a mannequin arm against her boxers-wearing colleagues.
Asked what they're all doing at her place, the guys point out that she was the one who told them not to leave. She ushers to kick them out, but that's when movers suddenly show up at her doorway, here with the new tenant: Seung-hee, who doesn't look happy to see Hoon and his bedhead hair in this apartment.
The simultaneous-occupancy mix-up turns out to be the broker's fault, and Soo-hyun concedes the place to Seung-hee, since she signed on later. Feeling bad, Seung-hee suggests that Soo-hyun stay until she finds a new place.
Hoon has overheard the discussion and tells Seung-hee not to get anyone else needlessly involved. That remark stirs Seung-hee's jealousy again, and she drags him outside by the ear. She asks what happened last night, removing a strand of Soo-hyun's hair out of his.
His murmured explanation pacifies her, though Hoon pulls her back to encourage her to smile more like she used to. She's in no position to do that under current circumstances, she tells him.
Hoon immediately seeks Soo-hyun out to blame his recent scolding on her. He presses her hair down to keep it from going rogue again and she returns the favor in kind. Seung-hee observes their schoolyard bickering just outside wearing what I think is a sad expression.
Hoon redeems himself a little in his apology to Chang-yi, to whom he reminds to keep quiet. She still hasn't fully forgiven him, but Hoon gets a few points for trying to make amends.
Chairman Oh sits down with Soo-hyun after overhearing that she's already found a place of her own. He agrees to let Soo-hyun move out on the grounds that she and Jae-joon get engaged. Her hand gives an involuntary jerk.
At the mention that Jae-joon was going to be transferred to the branch hospital, Chairman Oh says that's changed and smiles at his daughter. Seeing Jae-joon and Hoon walking together has her recall the two different hugs.
Hoon rejects the idea of extending their surgical competition another two rounds and therefore gambling with more lives. Having been prepared for that answer, Jae-joon hands him a large sum, telling Hoon that he can withdraw and take the money then.
Hoon turns down the tempting offer and takes a meta moment to wonder how the doctors in this place have so much money to burn. He asks what important reason Jae-joon has to become part of the prime minister's surgical team, and Jae-joon explains that people hold different values—just like how Hoon wants to save his North Korean girlfriend, he wants to make Myungwoo into the best hospital in Korea.
Offering up this sum means that his goal to become Myungwoo's hospital director is worth more than money. Hoon doesn't look down upon Jae-joon's career aspirations at all, but this chat hasn't changed his mind either because he has his own reasons to operate on the prime minister.
It's in Hoon's best interests to accept this offer, Jae-joon states in a firm voice. Hoon says that sounds like a threat, but he doesn't budge. At the same time, Soo-hyun returns her father's declaration that Jae-joon will operate on the prime minister with confusion.
So Jae-joon calls the police to have Hoon and Doctor Moon arrested, the latter busy polishing his brand-new hospital director nameplate (convinced it'll happen eventually) when the cops barge in. Doctor Moon immediately points the finger of blame at Hoon for looking at the medical records.
Seeing Jae-joon around the corner, Hoon angrily grabs him by the lapels, declaring that things won't go according to Jae-joon's plans. However, Jae-joon is convinced that they will, "because I have more important things to do than find a girl."
Watching from the other side of the glass is Chairman Oh and Soo-hyun, so Hoon gives himself up to be taken in. On the other hand, Doctor Moon is dragged away kicking and screaming his innocence.
Hoon takes everything in stride because this isn't his first brush with the law. He assures Doctor Moon that everything will be fine just so long as they keep three things in mind. The first is an attempt to escape, which doesn't work with the police standing two feet away.
The second is to deny all allegations at the police station, but that doesn't go well either since there's enough evidence that states the contrary. So Doctor Moon asks what the last tactic is… and Hoon sighs before contorting his face to hold back tears: "I was wrong, Officer. I'll confess." Ha.
It gets even better because then Hoon points to Doctor Moon and whimpers that he was only following his "master's orders." Doctor Moon freaks out. This show's crazy.
Soo-hyun finds Jae-joon in his office, where she's astounded to hear that he was the one to report Hoon. She speaks to Hoon's defense, arguing that Hoon was trying to confirm his sweetheart's doppelganger. But Jae-joon doesn't buy that excuse, and she asks if Jae-joon's being a poor loser. Ouch.
At her claims that the Jae-joon she once knew doesn't act like this, he retorts, "Then what about the Soo-hyun I knew?" He admits that the recent first round loss still stings, but what irritates him more is Soo-hyun's ever-present concern for Hoon.
In the face of Jae-joon's jealous tantrum, Soo-hyun takes the opportunity to set him straight: "There's no place for me in [Hoon's] heart! She's everything to him!" Omo, are you jealous, m'dear?
Jae-joon voices that question: "Does that anger you? Because there isn't a place for you?" He takes Soo-hyun's hand and urges her to come back to him and his team. Soo-hyun replies that she really wants to, but Jae-joon keeps blocking her and pushing her away.
Soo-hyun appeals to Seung-hee to visit the police station together. Chang-yi hears the news from Chi-gyu and knocks him over the head with an empty bottle for bad-mouthing Hoon. Anyone else see a side romance brewing between these two?
Hoon is still racking Doctor Moon's nerves in jail by the time Soo-hyun and Seung-hee arrive. Unfortunately the only person able to drop the charges is party who reported them. Cue Jae-joon, who notes that this is the consequence for refusing to extend their surgical competition.
Being victors won't matter if they lose their medical licenses, so Doctor Moon readily accepts. Hoon still refuses despite the added condition that their next patient of choice is up to him. He then looks to Seung-hee, who nods, so he reluctantly agrees.
That effectively gets them out of jail, and Soo-hyun pulls Jae-joon aside and calls this whole act cowardly. Jae-joon fires back that according to the law, those two would be imprisoned for their crimes, but he gave his fellow doctors another chance.
In the car, Hoon asks why he has to operate on Prime Minister Jang's heart. Seung-hee says she'll explain later and they should do as they're told. But Hoon knows Agent Cha isn't someone to do that, so she replies, "Trust me. I want to protect you."
She claims she has her own plan where they can end up living happily ever after because this show needs more secret conspiracies to juggle at once. He agrees to do things her way, and then tells her to smile wide.
They drive back to the hospital where Hoon assures a slightly dolled-up Chang-yi that everything is fine now. It's cute that she's trying to impress him with her pretty looks, though Hoon's compliments are more along the lines of a cute dongsaeng than love interest. D'aww.
Still, Chang-yi changes out of her casual clothes to a more alluring attire underneath. Chi-gyu happens to witness the transformation, so she waltzes up to him with a coy smile, grabs two bottles this time, and smacks both sides of his head for being a Peeping Tom.
Hoon nearly gets run over by a taxi, but his attention turns to the woman who gets out. He watches as she clutches her head in pain but is all smiles to greet her husband and hospitalized son. Just when Hoon turns away, however, she collapses onto the ground.
Hoon runs over to examine the woman using his genius, and then carts her inside. But he doesn't get to treat her because another team of doctors takes her away.
Chairman Oh takes this opportunity to chat with Hoon about his father. Hoon is no fool in that matter, so Chairman Oh confirms that Myungwoo would be in shambles if that malpractice suit went through and subsequently wouldn't have been able to save the countless number of lives they did over the years.
The doctors are the ones who save lives, not the hospital, Hoon argues. But Chairman Oh counters that doctors can't treat patients without equipment, and Hoon retorts: "And did that money fall from the sky? No, you bought that using the money your patients give you."
Chairman Oh smirks—would there be doctors who think like that? Hoon fires back that patients want a doctor who do, like his father. "And what happened to him?" the chairman asks. Hoon balls up a fist.
Patient Lee's family is relieved to hear that the patient has regained consciousness, but we all know how easily a person's medical fate can change in this hospital.
Nightshade and Agent Cha hash out the change in plans at the riverside. Agent Cha asks how Jae-joon can be trusted in their mission should he win, to which Nightshade replies that he can pray that Hoon does instead.
But what does it matter who anyone else thinks will come out victorious when Prime Minister Jang sees this stupid competition like a literal gamble. He places his bet on Jae-joon to win the second round because a tie-breaking final round is way more fun. Or something.
Hoon reviews Patient Lee's scans, still troubled by the burst blood vessel he sensed through his genius. He points it out to Soo-hyun, who doesn't see it on the ultrasound. They're interrupted by Doctor Moon, to whom Hoon is all, Weren't we broken up? He gets dragged away, leaving Soo-hyun to review the scan.
In his office, Doctor Moon says they have the advantage this round and therefore should enjoy themselves rather than do their best. Because that's the kind of doctor Moon is. Noticing the woman's husband loitering in the hallway, Hoon doesn't stick around long enough for Doctor Moon's creative suggestions.
It seems the cardiologists haven't given a clear explanation to the family, so Hoon puts Patient Lee's condition in layman's terms: His wife has three stents in her heart to improve blood circulation, but a blood vessel burst, hence her fainting spell earlier.
When asked if this is a case of malpractice, Hoon delicately replies that he can't be sure, though, he does wonder to himself whether the docs think something is wrong and an error they made. He explains the complications in this kind of internal bleeding, namely shock and possible death.
Just then, they get the frightening call that the patient is crashing and arrive just in time for the senior cardiologist to regain a heartbeat. The senior cardiologist assures them in a chipper voice that everything will be fine, though Hoon's troubled expression suggests otherwise.
Hoon is reluctant to perform surgery, knowing that the cardiology team won't be thrilled about it. I feel bad for the teenage son in his wheelchair who had to brace himself hoping that his mom will make it, and so does Hoon.
So Hoon pulls Doctor Moon to take it up with the senior cardiologist, who claims surgery is both unnecessary and risky. He recognizes Hoon as the feisty young doc from the emergency room and puts his foot down—he won't have the cardiothoracic department steal a patient from his team.
Hoon argues with Doctor Moon in his office about Patient Lee: Hoon wants to pursue surgery to fix the possible surgical error and save the patient's life whereas Doctor Moon insists that they turn a blind eye to a life they aren't even responsible for. Their shouting match gets them nowhere and Hoon leaves, sulking.
Hoon can't bring himself to ignore the dejected teenage son in the hallway. The realization that the surgery won't happen only discourages the boy, who blames himself for his mother's condition. He had called emergency when his mother had a heart attack, but couldn't get to her because of his wheelchair, so he resorted to crawl towards her. Aw, kid.
Although he's told that that call likely saved her life, the boy calls himself a horrible son anyway. Hoon grimly says he's probably an even worse son by those standards, recalling Dad's death.
He tells the boy to put aside those negative thoughts and assures him with his trademark wink that they'll find a way to save his mother.
So Hoon assembles his team, asking Seung-hee to be his anesthesiologist. He smiles when she hops on board. He then seeks out Nurse Min and she agrees too, though, she suggests someone else aside from Doctor Yang to be his first mate.
That someone is Soo-hyun of course, who's still mulling over why she couldn't see the hemorrhage on the scan. She raises her hands when Hoon draws near, warning him against joking around with her again. He whispers that he wouldn't dare, not when they have a life to save.
He takes her hand and says he needs her assistance to operate on the female patient with the hemorrhage. Soo-hyun is onboard up until she hears that Hoon hasn't gotten permission from the other department and puts on the literal brakes. Well, good thing you found out before wheeling the patient in the operating theater.
Hoon says they don't need permission from docs who'd rather ignore the patient's condition. But Soo-hyun doesn't budge and he asks if she'll join him or not. She confirms that this patient will be in actual danger if they don't proceed, and then agrees.
You can imagine the cardiologists' surprise when they hear that their patient is being prepped for surgery. Over at the operating room, Hoon sends Patient Lee a reassuring smile before he scrubs in.
It just so happens that Jae-joon's team is currently operating in the adjacent room and notes Hoon and Soo-hyun's presence. Jae-joon takes note, but continues with his own procedure. Hoon thanks Soo-hyun for putting her neck on the line for this surgery, too. She asks if he's worried about her right now, to which Hoon says he's concerned for everyone on his team.
It isn't long before news reaches Chairman Oh's ears, but it's douchey Sang-jin who arrives at the scrub room first. Sang-jin grabs Hoon's already washed hands, since that prevents him from pursuing surgery (albeit temporarily). Hoon responds with a headbutt.
The cardiology team file in moments later and Hoon requests that he be allowed to perform this surgery. His request is met with a slap to the face, and the senior cardiologist pulls rank over Hoon—how dare he speak with such arrogance?
Soo-hyun's attempt to come to Hoon's defense leads to the senior cardiologist grabbing her by the scrubs with a hand raised… and it's Jae-joon who intervenes to break it up.
After Doctor Moon ushers the cardiologists away, Hoon takes a look inside the operating room, and then turns to Jae-joon to declare, "I found the patient for our second battle. The patient you're going to take."
Even if it's painful to sit through more of the ever-present surgical competition in this hospital, I am glad that it keeps the numerous conspiracies swirling in this dramaverse temporarily at bay. Not that this arbitrary tournament makes any more sense than anything else on this show (though not much does, of course) it's the one plot point that bookended the beginning and end of the hour—to set up the battle for more rounds.
With k-dramas giving us two-episodes a week, the odd episodes usually set up a conflict in hopes that the viewers see a payoff or continue to build narrative tension in its even episodes to eventually cap off a smaller story arc. As a viewer, you can see when a show falls into that pattern, and some shows do a better job of that in its execution than others and go beyond those guidelines (e.g. say, you get a payoff in an odd episode). On the other hand, following that formula can also lead to other less wanted content in an hour. In Stranger's case, much of this episode was devoted to humorous filler, and while off-beat and funny (I don't know why those moments make me laugh, but they do), I couldn't think of any reason why the show wouldn't take that time to help its viewers make more sense of the larger world at hand aside from a case of panicked storytelling.
We're already past the halfway point now, and while I could understand the show spending a few episodes trying to gain its foothold in the beginning or even the middle stretch, I would hate to see Stranger run out of time to tell the story it wanted to in the latter course of its run. In the hopes that there is an overall story to tell, of course. Instead of driving the narrative forward, we're seeing more the same tiny narrative moments being recycled more often, like Doctor Moon's disregard for any patient or the requisite check-in of Prime Minister Jang's ambivalence.
All we can do then is to give focus on whatever the show deems important for the hour. So for our case of the week, I'd wondered how Hoon and Jae-joon would proceed with this competition without twins to operate on anymore. Handing Patient Lee over to Jae-joon's hands assures Hoon that Jae-joon will do what's necessary for their battle and therefore save her life. I have a feeling that one word from Chairman Oh will trump any cardiologist's tantrum, which leaves Hoon to find the patient he wants to save. It's a good thing then that the medical moments of this show continue to be compelling, giving us glimpses into our rivaling doctors' character and values in their line of work.
I'm still uneasy as we proceed in this battle, however, all thanks to Prime Minister Jang's off-hand remark at how fun it'd be to reach a tie-breaking round. I shouldn't be surprised at how apathetic the politician is of gambling other people's lives including his own. Then again everyone else seems to regard his somewhat-but-is-it-that-important surgery as a stepping stone for their own goals, so why shouldn't he?

I love the drops
Emulsi-D3 was given to my by my Dr. who is not only an MD has turned to holistic medicine and opened the Health Medicine Center in Walnut Creek CA. What I love about the drops is they last a long time. My last bottle lasted 6 months. The other great thing is being able to vary my dose. If I start getting a cold I can easily increase the number of drops with out having to swallow a handful of pills.
They taste good
I can vary my dose
No pills to swallow
Last a long time
Putting the tip in my mouth. Makes me worry that I may contaminate the contents.

Tastes Great
D3 (Cholecalciferol) is the proper form of D for your body to readily assimilate and these drops taste sweet not bitter like some other brands. Emulsi-D3 drops are easy to take and dont present any digestion issues. Highly recommended!

Best D3 formula on market!
I was not absorbing vitamin D neither in capsule or liquid form. Naturopath recommended Hi-Po Emulsi-D3 by Designs for Health and my vitamin D levels finally rose.
Flavor is good. Easy to take for those who hate taking pills like me. The product is guaranteed GMO-free.
A little pricey, but a great product . I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only because d3 must be taken with k2 and there is a version sold by the same company with K2. I hope Pure Formulas will offer it in the future, so I don't have to continually order it elsewhere.

Works very well
This D3 works great! I was taking the now brand of d3 capsules (5,000 IU) for about 5 months and my vitamin d was barely inching up on my labs. I then decided to try this product, and after just 3 weeks of taking 10,000 IU/day (as recommended by my functional medicine practitioner), my d3 went from 38 to 62. I'll maintain at 2-3 drops per day, which means that this bottle will also last a really long time. Perfect!
Really effective

Medvedev Associate Flees Russia Ahead of Prosecution
Evgenia Pismennaya and Henry MeyerSergei Guriev, an associate of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and rector of the New Economic School in Moscow, has fled Russia to avoid possible prosecution in a criminal case, said two people with knowledge of the matter.
Investigators questioned Guriev as a witness and raided the school, prompting his departure from the country, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn't public. They didn't say where he is.
The economics institute is being investigated for receiving funds from the jailed former billionaire Mikhail Khodorkovsky, according to a third person. Guriev said by e-mail that he's outside of Russia now, without commenting on whether he's facing a criminal probe. The academic was questioned a month ago in a case involving Yukos, the oil company Khodorkovsky owned, Svetlana Petrenko, a spokeswoman for the Investigative Committee, said by phone, declining to elaborate.
Three ministers in Medvedev's Cabinet have been fired or forced out in the past seven months, most recently Deputy Prime Minister Vladislav Surkov, the government's chief of staff. The announcement of Surkov's resignation came a few days after he publicly criticized a criminal investigation into the use of state funds at the Skolkovo technology hub, a signature project for Medvedev which the former deputy premier oversaw.
Anti-Corruption Drive
Putin, 60, reclaimed the presidency last year from Medvedev, 47, who had stood in for him for four years because of a constitutional ban on more than two consecutive Kremlin terms. As president, Medvedev pushed for less state control of the economy and an anti-corruption drive, and in January he said he may run for the post again when Putin's third term ends in 2018.
Guriev, 41, who serves as an economic adviser to Medvedev's government, yesterday withdrew his nomination as a member of the supervisory board of state-run lender OAO Sberbank. He said he took the decision "for personal and family reasons that are not related to Sberbank."
Guriev has also resigned from his post as rector of the institute, Interfax reported, citing Finance Minister Anton Siluanov as saying he was sorry to see him go.
Navalny, Khodorkovsky
Khodorkovsky, 49, once Russia's richest man, is serving 13 years in prison under two separate convictions for fraud, tax evasion and oil embezzlement that he says are retribution for funding opposition parties during Putin's presidency. The Kremlin denies the accusations. Yukos was sold in pieces, mostly to state-run OAO Rosneft, to cover tens of billions of dollars in back taxes.
Guriev was targeted for working on an economic ideas for opposition leader Alexey Navalny, according to a government official who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential.
Navalny, 36, is on trial in the city of Kirov, facing as much as 10 years in prison over charges that he defrauded state-owned timber company Kirovles of 16 million rubles ($508,000). He denies any wrongdoing and says the case is payback for helping lead the biggest protests against Putin's 13-year rule in 2011. He also faces other criminal cases.
Guriev said he advised Navalny "on many things." Navalny declined by phone to comment.

Remembering Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001
Patrick Newell
We're two days removed from the 12th anniversary of 9/11 attacks, and I retraced my steps to that Tuesday morning – a unremarkable start to my day in every way until all hell broke loose.
Coming off a Monday night of sports, I had my usual array of soccer games to report; moreover, Tuesdays during the fall we publish our weekly football contest, and I typically spent a few hours on Monday evening going through all of the entries, writing up a small article with the results of the contest, and then typing in the picks for our experts to appear in the Tuesday edition. I can't remember exactly, but I believe we had moved to a two-section paper in 2001, and my deadline to finish the sports section was 8 a.m. Prior to that, I had the same deadline as the front section — 10 a.m. With this new schedule, I would arrive for work in the 6:30 a.m. range (I have picked up a little speed, and now it's around 6:40 a.m.), to design my three pages for the sports section integrating national news, local news, and complementing that with a standings and statistics page. Following my deadline, I would catch up on paperwork, and go through my schedule for the upcoming evening. Considering I was to return to work around 4 p.m. for a long evening of attending and reporting games, it was my norm to exit the Sun's premises before 9 a.m. Moments before I was about to leave, word came of a commuter jet striking the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Our publisher, Dick Snyder – whose office was located down the hall from us in the Pennysaver building here in Norwich – stepped into our office to notify our staff of the plane crash. I was off of my deadline, so I (and a few other employees), trekked to Dick's office for more information. I believe Jeff Genung, our editor, even left his desk for a few moments to take a look at the news on Dick's television. Rumors were rampant regarding the source of the attack, and as TV reporters were trying to make some sense of it all – and as the burning North Tower was on screen – what looked like a toy airplane crashed into the South Tower. My own speculation after the first plane hit the North Tower was that it was a flight gone awry.. After the second crash, all of us in Dick's room knew something was terribly wrong. Little did we know how wrong. Three daily papers serve part or all of the Chenango County area, and ours was the only one to have up-to-date reporting of the 9/11 attacks. Such is the benefit of a late-morning/early afternoon newspaper. Watching the tragedy unfold before my eyes – and millions of others – I wonder if this is what TV viewers felt when they saw Jack Ruby step out of a crowd and shoot Lee Harvey Oswald as Oswald was being transported to another jail.
While I was already entrenched in the newspaper business in 2001, our three current reporters were still in school, while current editor Brian Golden was in early 20s and at least seven or eight years away from his first newspaper job. Here are the remembrances of the current staff:
Ashley Biviano: "I was in 8th grade. It happened during math class, but they never told us. I went to English class, and still not a word until the bell rang, when the teacher said, "Oh, the Twin Towers fell down." In the cafeteria, one kid was running around yelling how someone was going to bomb the school. Then, in Mr. Telesky's class, we finally got to turn on the TV to see what the heck everyone was talking about. Mr. Telesky was awesome."
Shawn Magrath: "I was in 10th grade. I watched the second plane strike the South Tower exactly as I walked into my second period Earth Science class."
Kevin Doonan: "I was in seventh grade Spanish class, in my middle school at Chambers and West Street in Manhattan. I remember the white rain choking the air, the confusion, and the terror. More than anything I remember the quiet calm between explosions and the placid certainty of death."
Brian Golden (Note- this is an excerpt of a column Brian published regarding the attack): "I remember sitting in the living room of my apartment, drinking coffee, reading a book (probably Tolkien), and waiting for a typical day of carpet installation … power stretchers, staple guns, seam irons, stair tools and tackstrips included.
Hearing my phone ring shortly before 9 a.m. was certainly no warning, in and of itself. Knowing full well it would be either my father (on his way to pick me up for work) or Adam (Bosworth, we typically spoke mornings to discuss all things related to our band), I was completely unprepared for what followed. I received a call from Adam, who had a strange strange note of hysteria in his voice I'd never heard before, immediately related the news that – just moments before – a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Having no cable at the time, I immediately flicked on the radio, just in time to hear, in a strange sort of terrible harmony, Adam and whatever newscaster was on the air at the time begin screaming "NO" and for a pilot unseen to turn the plane. And that's when United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower. I remember spending the rest of that day in a kind of haze."
What are your memories of that day? Feel free to share with us.
