Dear Comrade Kgalema
On 17 December 2004 the ANC published Volume 4 No 50 of 'ANC Today", which is described as the 'Online Voice of the ANC'. In an article entitled 'Nevirapine, drugs & African guinea pigs" in that publication, the following statements were made about our organisation the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC):
1 The TAC 'is determined to continue to pursue its mission to promote the widest possible use of anti-retroviral drugs in our country, at all costs'.
2 The TAC 'is quite ready even to deny the reality of established scientific truths'.
3 The TAC is '(i)ntent to sustain public pressure for the expansion of the market for anti-retroviral drugs in general, and nevirapine in particular'.
4 '(T)o guarantee and improve the sale of anti-retroviral drugs' is 'the central mission of the treatment campaign of the Treatment Action Campaign'.
5 'Strangely for an organisation that presents itself as African, passionately concerned about the health and lives of Africans, the TAC seems quite happy to "discount the lives of Africans" and to ensure "the implementation of nevirapine in South Africa", regardless of "the significant number of serious adverse events for both mother and infant (that) may not have been collected or reported in a timely manner during the course of the Uganda "study"'.
These statements are both untrue and seriously defamatory of TAC.
The article ends with the following statement: "Whose interests does the TAC serve?" In the context of the article, this contains a clearly defamatory innuendo that the TAC is not genuinely concerned about the health and lives of people in South Africa, and that it serves other interests, presumably those of racists and the drug companies. This too, is both untrue and seriously defamatory.
These statements cannot be construed by any stretch of the imagination as fair comment. Many people across the country, the continent and throughout the world take the ANC as a serious and authoritative source of information. The statements, read in the context of the article as a whole, defame TAC and cause serious damage to its reputation nationally and internationally and its work to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS in communities.
The statements and article also do serious damage to the struggle against HIV/AIDS. For instance, the statements in the article on nevirapine are wilfully misleading. They undermine one of the most important public health interventions.
We urge the ANC to be guided by scientists, clinicians, HIV/AIDS experts and not denialist ideologues. It is a tragedy that at a time when new infections, illness and death continue in our communities that ANC Today prints untruths, distortions and slander instead of guiding and giving hope.
TAC hesitates to even consider litigation against the ANC as the party of freedom, democracy and social justice. But unless the steps set out in this letter are taken by the organisation, we will regretfully be obliged to consider litigation in order to protect and vindicate our reputation and work.
The TAC requests that you take the following steps:
1 Publish in 'ANC Today' a retraction and apology in terms which are to be agreed between the ANC and TAC.
2 Issue this apology and retraction to the media.
The identity of the author of the article is not disclosed. We shall be obliged if you would kindly advise who the author was. Similarly, the identity of the editor of 'ANC Today' is not disclosed in the publication. We shall be obliged if you would kindly advise who the editor was.
Our National Executive committee will be meeting in mid-January 2005. We urge you to undertake the steps outlined by then as a sign of comradeship and co-operation in the HIV/AIDS epidemic. We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience but by no later than close of business on 14th January 2005 so that we may consider this matter at our NEC.
Yours faithfully

How are export control concerns addressed with respect to foreign visitors at NPS?
Almost every NPS program, school, center, or institute has an increasing numbers of visitors. There is increasing interest of hiring foreign national faculty and staff. These future valued employees and current students who are citizens of other countries-countries that may be subject to restrictions on the exchange of specific technologies. Remember, an export can occur through a variety of means, including oral communications, written documentation, computer software, and visual inspection of equipment or facilities. An export can also occur even if the transfer of information or technology (by the same oral, written, or visual means) takes place within NPS. This is known as a deemed export.
To ensure that technical data, software, and/or commodities are properly protected, you must review these areas and resolve any export control concerns before the visit. These visits and assignments must be conducted in a manner consistent with U.S., DOD, Dept. of Navy, and NPS security policies, requirements, and objectives including export control laws and regulations.

Two singularly unique and remarkably important events occurred last week, which, at first glance, may seem to be unrelated but, on closer consideration, are intimately connected.
No one knows for certain where either of these monumental incidents occurred but best guesses put one somewhere in Africa and the other most likely in South America.
In Africa this week, folks who are supposed to know such things say a child was born and became the planet's 7 billionth person.
And somewhere in South America, perhaps Brazil, some farmer planted the three-billionth acre of genetically modified seed.
The chances are awfully high—and let's emphasize that word awfully—that the world's 7 billionth person will grow up in poverty, will be subject to diseases or civil war that most likely will shorten his or her life. And hunger will probably be the child's constant companion.
That's what makes the second occurrence a remarkable achievement and what links these two milestones so closely together. We've all heard dire predictions that the population may reach a point beyond which we can no longer provide enough food for all. Some of that is likely science fiction. Some, however, consider the reality of population dynamics and the limitations of production agriculture.
Technology, such as transgenic seed, will close that gap and has already improved production efficiency. A recent article in Truth About Trade & Technology reports that farmers across the globe are switching to GMO crops because they can reduce production costs and increase yield. That means more food on less land—more food for those who will soon make up a world population of 9 billion souls.
That's the good news. Farmers around the world have technology—including GMOs, GPS and other innovations—to feed the planet.
The bad news is that we don't have to wait until we reach 9 billion people to have hungry people in the world. We have too many now who will die of malnutrition, inadequate or polluted water, and diseases exacerbated by poor nutrition. Roughly 49 percent of the projected growth in population is expected to occur in Africa.
And part of that problem is that some leaders, even those who witness their people suffering from hunger, refuse to allow technology, or even food produced through modern technology, to be used to feed hungry people.
Part of it is nothing but politics—attempts to maintain control over life's basic needs and thus over those who have no power. Part of it is ignorance and part of it is greed—again the powerful grabbing what they want and leaving the powerless to want.
It is reassuring to know that farmers in Brazil, Argentina, and in the United States, among other agriculturally advanced countries, have the ability to feed the world. And it is reassuring to believe/depend on our ability to use technology to assure that future generations also will be able to feed the world.
We are discouraged, however, that even with the ability, the technology and the resources available to us hunger still stalks much of the developing world. Unless we find a means to distribute what we can grow, malnutrition will continue well into this century.

Hornets preparing for camp, game
It's a busy weekend for the Catawba County Hornets, who are preparing to host their fifth annual camp and play a game on the same day.
The Hornets, along with the Newton Parks and Recreation Department, are hosting a Football Skills Clinic for boys and girls age 4-12 on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Westside/Jaycee Park.
At the camp, children learn different football fundamentals and coordination skills.
Doug Frye, coach and owner of the Hornets, said he wants children to take away a few things from this camp.
"We try to teach these kids discipline with exercises," Frye said. "We try to teach them football skills and also how to get along with people."
Another part of the experience is for the Hornets players themselves, who get a chance to interact with young children.
"I require it for them to be there, unless they have to work in the morning," Frye said. "I think having the players work with the kids makes them feel good after doing that. Some of them might be a little tired come game time, but playing in the game that night will help take care of that."
Following the conclusion of the camp, the Hornets (2-1) take on the Virginia Storm (2-1) in Central Carolinas Football League action.
Last Saturday, the Hornets suffered their first loss of the season at home to the Iredell Warriors, 38-14. The Hornets committed two turnovers in the first two possessions and fell behind 28 points before scoring in the game.
Frye said the loss was tough, but it helped ground his team.
"It was an emotional loss last week," Frye said. "We are just trying to gear up ourselves and point everything in the right direction. We want to come back this week strong and hard. We want to show everyone we are still in contention at the top of the league, and that we just had a little let down last week."
The Storm are 2-1 on the season, winning last week 25-8 against the Rowan Rampage. The Storm own a opening week victory against the Richmond County Golden Bears, 34-16, but were dismantled the following week against the Carolina Eagles, 40-0.
Saturday's game is at 7:30 p.m. at Westside/Jaycee Park. Admission is $6 for adults, $4 for children ages 6-12 and kids under the age of 6 get in free.

QUEENS — Grammy-winning singer John Legend has teamed up with a popular Long Island City-based Internet streaming music service to raise money for Hurricane Sandy victims.
Legend has created a playlist called "Do Something" on Songza, an Internet start-up that streams playlists that match listeners' moods and activities.
For every unique user who listens to the playlist, Songza says it will donate 10 cents to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, with the goal of raising $10,000.
"We're strong believers that good business means doing good too," said Elias Roman, co-founder and CEO of Songza.
The initiative kicked off after Legend met David Hirsch from Metamorphic Ventures, Songza's investor, when both were volunteering in the Rockaways during clean-up efforts, helping with food and toiletries deliveries and collecting books for children living in the devastated area.
"We were blown away by the tragedy and we wanted to do more," said Hirsch.
He suggested Legend could create a playlist on Songza and use his fame to publicize the extent of the hurricane damage in the neighborhood.
Legend picked 40 songs for his playlist, mixing soul, funk, hip-hop and rock. It includes: "Help" by The Beatles; "I Got You" by James Brown; "Shake" by Sam Cooke; "Power" by Kanye West; "The Light" by Common; and "The Fire" by The Roots.
"We develop benefit campaigns that are fun, totally transparent to the end user, and get the community involved in helping to support an important cause," Roman said. "The structure of the campaigns is typically that Songza makes a donation for each listener to a special playlist, in this case John Legend's 'Do Something' Mix."
Songza serves about 2 million unique listeners in the United States alone and about 1 million in Canada, according to the company. Listeners can browse from about 100,000 free playlists on their computers and iPhones — each containing between 80 and 100 songs selected by music critics, DJs and celebrities.
Users can also create their own playlists.
The music start-up, which is based in an old lens factory on 46th Avenue in Hunters Point, has recently landed a number of new investors, including Amazon.com and Troy Carter, Lady Gaga's manager, the company said.

Studies and Monitoring
Grand Teton National Park
Grand Teton National Park (NP), Wyoming, has its own unique environmental concerns based on its particular ecology. Air quality studies and monitoring programs at Grand Teton NP focus on visibility and the deposition of nitrogen, sulfur, and toxic air contaminants. Click on the tabs below to review air quality studies and key scientific references at Grand Teton NP, as well as to access information on air quality monitoring in the park.
- Studies & Projects
- Monitoring & Data
- Key References
Ongoing research in Grand Teton NP, Wyoming:
Nitrogen & Sulfur Impacts
Nitrogen and sulfur deposition at the park can be particularly harmful to sensitive high elevation lakes and vegetation communities. Recent analyses indicate certain alpine ecosystems in the park at risk from atmospheric deposition (Sullivan et al. 2011a; Sullivan et al. 2011b [pdf, 12 MB]; Nanus et al. 2009). Current studies at Grand Teton NP are investigating the fertilization effects of excess nitrogen (N) loading, including changes to the species composition of sensitive aquatic and terrestrial communities (Van Miegroet 2010; Spaulding 2009). These efforts aim to define a nitrogen critical load, the threshold at which a community shifts from undisturbed species to weedy, nitrogen-loving species.
Nitrogen levels in plants, soils, and in deposition samples indicate higher atmospheric N inputs to the north of the park and lower levels to the south (Van Miegroet 2010). Concentrations of ammonium in wet deposition from regional agriculture are also elevated and increasing at sites in or near to the park (NPS 2010 [pdf, 2.8 MB]; Ingersoll et al. 2007; Clow et al. 2003). The Grand Tetons Reactive Nitrogen Deposition Study (Grand TReNDS) will investigate what source regions and activities contribute to nitrogen deposition at the park.
Airborne Toxic, including Mercury, Impacts
Air currents transport toxic contaminants such as pesticides, industrial pollutants, and mercury from their sources, and deposit these toxics in rain, snow, and dry deposition (e.g., dust) at Grand Teton NP (find data »). Research findings from such studies as the Western Airborne Contaminants Assessment Project (WACAP) and Rocky Mountain Regional Snowpack Chemistry Monitoring Study found airborne contaminants in park air, vegetation, snow, and water (Landers et al. 2010; Krabbenhoft et al. 2002; Keteles 2010; Ingersoll et al. 2007). Mercury concentrations in the snowpack in and near to the park are increasing, and concentrations of current use pesticides in air and vegetation samples were elevated as compared to other national parks (Landers et al. 2010; Ingersoll et al. 2007).
Follow-up research is examining the extent to which contaminants are disrupting reproductive organs in fish at Grand Teton NP and other parks. Fish in other western national parks, including Rocky Mountain and Glacier National Parks, have been found with pesticide and mercury concentrations exceeding human and/or wildlife health thresholds (Landers et al. 2010; Landers et al. 2008). Reproductive abnormalities associated with airborne contaminant exposure were detected in some male fish at these parks (Schwindt et al. 2009).

A largely second string Sale Sharks side battled hard but slipped to defeat against Cardiff Blues in the Heineken Cup.
Wales Six Nations squad member Lloyd Williams was the star of the show as Blues picked up their first victory of the season in the competition.
Droves of Blues supporters had answered a plea from the region by turning up on Friday and then again on the morning of the match to clear thick snow off the Arms Park pitch.
Their sterling efforts paid off, with the Pool 6 clash able to go ahead following pitch inspections at 9am and 12 noon.
There was nothing on the match in terms of qualification for the knock-out stages, but the Blues had no wish to go through their Euro campaign without a victory and proceeded to gain revenge for their narrow defeat away to Sale back in October.
Scrum-half Williams was the key man, scoring a fine individual try and setting up another for replacement lock Michael Paterson, with Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny kicking 16 points, as touchdowns from visiting front row forwards Tommy Taylor and Aston Croall were cancelled out.
Aviva Premiership bottom club Sale had travelled down to Cardiff without the full strength side, yet they swiftly showed they were not there just to make up the numbers.
In fact, it only took them three minutes to open the scoring. After kicking to the corner, they put together a well-organised lineout drive which culminated in hooker Taylor crashing over, with fly-half Rob Miller adding the conversion.
The Blues cut the deficit to a point through two penalties from Halfpenny, but he then appeared to have cost his side a try, as his attempted clearing kick was charged down, with centre Mark Jennings pouncing on the loose ball to claim the score.
Irish referee Peter Fitzgibbon was unsure over the grounding, but had no video referee to consult as the game was not being televised live.
So he went to consult his linesman Eddie Hogan-O'Connell, who advised him that Jennings had knocked on, and the try was ruled out, with Halfpenny then landing a superb penalty out of the mud near the left touchline to give the hosts a 9-7 interval lead.
Sale went back in front just a couple of minutes after the break when wing Charlie Amesbury broke through in midfield and prop Croall forced his way over from close range amid a pile of bodies for a converted try.
But the Blues hit back immediately with an excellent effort from Williams, who broke from the base of a ruck, chipped over Amesbury and won the race to the ball, sliding in and rolling over the line.
Halfpenny converted and, after weathering a lengthy period of Sale pressure, the hosts made the game safe when Williams escaped down the left following a Paterson lineout take and returned the inside scoring pass to the supporting substitute.
What is your verdict on the action? Have your say.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- Three men accused of raping two different woman in separate kidnapping incidents have been charged with an incident happening in Brentwood in March, 2012.
Antonieo Clark, Lawrence Brandon and Antoin Brewer are being held in the St. Louis County jail. The three men are facing a combined 28-felony counts, including robbery, felonious restraint and sodomy.
Police said a 20-year old woman was in a car in the 2700 block of Bremerton around 2:30 a.m. on March 9 when one of the suspects opened her door and stuck a gun in her face.
"We had three individuals kidnap a young lady while she was sitting out in her car," Brentwood Police Sgt. Jim McIntyre said in March.
The suspects then drove a half block to Brentwood Park, where they allegedly sodomized her, then forced her to drive to an ATM and withdraw money.
But police say the kidnappers kept adding to their list of crimes from there, forcing the victim to drive back to her friend's house to rob him.
The same men face several charges in connection to the alleged kidnapping and rape of a woman outside a south St. Louis bar in April.
All were already charged with kidnapping, two counts of forcible rape, seven counts of armed criminal action, two counts of forcible sodomy, two counts of stealing a motor vehicle and two counts of robbery.
The 52 year-old victim told authorities she was leaving The Silver Lining bar in the 3700 block of Delor around 11:30 p.m. on April 15 when the three suspects approached and threw her into the backseat of her car.
The victim said she was repeatedly raped, but was able to escape about four hours later when the suspects stopped for gas in the 1300 block of Gravois.
Police said the suspects stole the victim's 2007 Silver Chrysler 300. Police said the men then went back to the victim's home at one point and took another car that belonged to a relative. That car was later recovered in the 3400 block of Spring.

Last spring Carlye Calvin invited a dozen amateur photographer friends to go on a photo safari at Boulder County's Valmont Railroad Museum. She gave them a few assignments - "find the letters of the alphabet, find faces in the trains, look for textures". The results of this photo safari are now on display in NCAR's Mesa Lab Library. Come and view the many angles, textures and colors displaying each artists' photographic "eye".
Exhibit opens on Friday, April 12th, 4:00 pm at the Mesa Lab Library. We would like to dedicate this exhibit to Leslie Forehand who had a love for art, was an artist in her own right, and managed the art program at the Foothills Library.

This build and guide will help you get familiar with Jungling Warwick.
This week warwick was a playable character and i fould ppl playing him in absolutly ridiculous ways.
I've made a guide for laning warwick, this time i'll make one for jungle one (witch is way better one in my eyes but requires more map awareness)
What Jungling Warwick brings to your team?
1st of all you have 2 lanes with 100% exp this way + 100% exp warwick.
This should work great on getting lvl advantage.
Element of suprise, and less stresfull lvling.
Bad things. One of your teammates will face a double lane, so he either needs to be realy good or just play VERY defensive. You might also suffer a tower loss in early game. The prio of that person is to stay in lane (forget last hitting even) and just gather exp while defending tower and minimising health loss.
A good tip to that person is to equip yourself with 2-3 health pots and pick a teleport skill in case of a gank.
You might get spotted in woods and get ganked so watch out for any miss on a map.
Anticipation FTW!
You will be called a n00b warwick, you will be called useless f***r, stupid, ****** and so on, while jungling. Dont get annoyed by that. People that call you that way probably have no clue how to play warwick or how to play this game at all. Just do your job.
Ppl from opposite team will usualy ask for AFK player coz they cant see you.
Make sure your team does not respond to those questions.
Summoner skills:
Smite - this is the king of warwick summoner skills. You will recognise a good warwick if he has this skill. One of the skills you will ALWAYS use. Untill late game even. Great skill for taking down big mobs fast late game or mid game to speed up pushing lanes.
But the main prio is to make your jungling effective way of getting cash and lvl faster in early mid game.
I will explain when and how to use it a bit later.
This is also the reason you have to pick Plentiful Bounty in your Mastery Tree.
Lower cd and another gold is always good.
Picking 2nd skill is your choice. But you should get one of thiese:Flash - All around great skill. Lets you land that last hit faster. Lets you run away from a gank. Lets you run away or engane an enemy to/from jungle. Lets you tower dive->kill->blink away into woods. My favorite skill.
You will just love it for cover in woods->flash out->ultimate->kill.Exhaust - Good to case better a fleeing enemy, or disabling enemy heavy carry dps on you or your teammate while you gank him.Heal - Makes your life easier while jungling, but after reaching lvl 9 and maxing out huntering strike... it will be useless.Rally - Again, makes your jungling easier and a bit faster. Good skill for team battles. But later on it's cooldown will destroy the effectivness of the skill.
DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT THIS SKILLS!!!Ghost - You have Blood Scent! you srsly dont need this one... Get Exhaust, it will work better, and it will also blind the target.
Teleport - Using this skill will destroy the element of suprise and we dont want that. Its better to run through jungle and get that tower pushing bastard from the back near your tower. If you would start teleporting to the tower or mob, he will run away before you get there anyway.
Ignite - you dont need this one. Its often used as a last hitter on running away champ. With your Blood Scent + Hungering strike beeing a ranged atack you dont need this to kill off your opponent.
I play with 19/0/11 Masteries skills tree.
19 points in Offence - for dps and to help you jungle kill faster.
Prios on Plentfull bounty, Offensive mastery, Sunder.
11 points in utility - for faster lvling, and for enlongment of neutral buffs (VERY IMPORTANT).
Please dont go full offence its realy not nessesary. Srsly... DON'T!
Marks and QUitesences on ArP - Lowering Armor of your potential gank target to 0 is something VERY nice, and you are not able to always go for Black Cleaver in games (they finish too fast or you cant farm enaugh for it) That is why i swapped some runes for ArP. It also lets you kill in jungle more efficiently on lower lvls.
With this runes composition a non-tank champ shoud have its armor reduced nearly or to 0 witch will have great benefit on damage your ultimate and melee hits deal.
I left glyphs on CDR since there is not much we can get from those runes (last prio on getting).
Swapped seals for dodge. Makes you jungle more efficient without loosing much health.
Also this helps a bit later on on hard carry 1v1 fights. 6.75% dodge might not seem too much but its more or less a 6% less damage you take. Dodging a crit from Yi that could take 600-900 of your HP or dodging a poppy devastating blow of 1000 damage, and so on so on. Can save your life alot of times.
Eternal Thirst - Each of Warwick's attacks will heal him for 5/10/15 health. Each successive attack against the same target will restore increasing amounts of health to Warwick.
This is a skill that allows Warwick to jungle from lvl 1 very efficiently.
Simple, you hit a target = you get health, even without lifeseal.
Hungering Strike - Takes a bite out of enemy unit for damage and heals Warwick.
Strikes an enemy for the greater value between 75/125/175/225/275 (+1) and 8/11/14/17/20% of the target's maximum health (can only do flat damage to monsters), and heals Warwick for 100% of the damage dealt.
Cooldown - 12 seconds
Cost - 100/100/100/100/100 Mana
Range - 400
Take note this is a 400 range skill. It's great for keeping yourself alive, while facing other team carry champ. You maybe have lower damage, lower or 0 lifesteal that time, but with this... he will be down before you are, and he will probably start to run away... worst thing you can do while facing warwick XD. You should use it right after ultimate and to finish off that last fiew points of health.
After maxing out that skill you can use it to get health back after a team fight in the jungle and get back to fight without beeing forced to go to base.
Hunters Call - Warwick lets out a howl, increasing all nearby friendly champions' attack speed for a short time.
Warwick lets out a howl that inspires all nearby allied champions. This increases Warwick's attack speed by 40/50/60/70/80% and all nearby friendly champions' attack speed by half of that for 10 seconds.
Cooldown - 30/27/24/21/18 seconds
Cost - 35/35/35/35/35 Mana
Range - SELF
No longer a global skill. Now you have to make sure your teammate is in range of getting it :( The duration is AGAIN a fixed time and the change is only in AS bonus. Still you wont have to max out this skill early or even mid game anyway :P
Proper usage is Ulti->Hungering->Hunters Call.
Get 1 point of this skill as your 1st choice and start jungling. Use it on CD, since it has nearly none mana cost
This is the skill that allows you to focus on important items instead of stacking atack speed ones before going core.
If you see a warwick with malady... you can laugh in his face and eat him :)
Blood Scent - Warwick passively senses weakened enemy champions around him. The scent of blood sends him into a fury causing him to move at incredible speeds.
Warwick senses enemy champions under 50% life within 1500/2300/3100/3900/4700 distance of him; Upon sensing an enemy at low life he will gain 20/25/30/35/40% Movement Speed.
Cooldown - 45 seconds
Cost - Passive
Range - SELF
Blood Scent is a best ingame skill for catching fleeing enemy champs, as well as running away from a loosing battle (if one of their champs have <50% hp).
This should ALWAYS be picked at lvl 4 and maxed out together with Hungering strike and ulti.
You should be able to get som1 to <50% with your Ulti+HS combo, witch enables Blood Scent and just run and kill. So you can call it a passive movement speed increase :P.
It also reveals any enemy player that you have scented on map even in bushes.
It will enable itself if you have a <50% stealter near you as well. But you will not be able to see them anyway.
Infinite Duress - Warwick lunges at an enemy Champion, stunning them and dealing damage for a few seconds.
Warwick lunges at an enemy Champion, stunning them for 1.7 seconds. While they are stunned, Warwick quickly strikes the target 5 times for 33% of his attack damage plus 40/60/80. Warwick gains an additional 30% lifesteal while performing Infinite Duress.
Cooldown - 90/80/70 seconds
Cost - 100/125/150 Mana
Range - 700
This is your cookiecutter skill.
It got rebalanced last patch making it less mana eating, better damage, and lower cd. The stun duration nerf is not that important (2.1s -> 1.7s)
They also added a lifesteal addition. This makes tactic 1v1 and 1v2 a diferent story. If you engage an enemy and you are quite sure he/she will fight back, not run away, try using Infinite Duress a bit later.
The usual fight against enemy carry is:
HC+Melee them with spamming HS on cd. When i see him/her going down quite at the same rate (or when i feel i am loosing i use ID moment i reach 50% HP. The new lifestealing will heal me quite a bunch, usualy making enemy try to retreat. And as Warwick says... "It's only fun if they run". Its the worst they can do.
This tactic also can be implemented in double lane solo v 2 fight. Usualy you are ahead of lvl and they are weakened after a fight 2v2. Your teammate dies and you are left with 2 nasty champions that try to hurt you.
You SAVE your ultimate. Kill one, and when 2nd one tries to escape you catch him with ID or when you are realy low on HP, you do it on 2nd one to heal yourself up.
Remember, lifesteal bonus is quite a nice bonus to your ulti. Dont rush it if you see the option to get to them just by running of flashing. Hit fiew times, and than finish off with ID+HS.
You have to take into consideration that you will simply hit 6 times your atack. So all "on hit" items are getting stacked extremaly fast and in very efficient way.
That means you will get 6x4% from Bloodrazor, you will get 6x42mana=42damage from writs end, 5 stacks of Black cleaver debuff just in 1 ultimate atack. Sick!
with all that damage it will calculate in more or less this:
200Atack = 66 per atack
6x66 damage = 396
6x4% max health (example 2000 Health) = 6*80 = 480
6x42 mana = damage = 252
Total 1128 damage.
Target is debuffed with 5 stacks of black cleaver so bye bye armor, and he will be below 50% for sure if not, than 1 HS will do the job. Just execute than.
(i know there are magic resistances and armor **** bla bla bla, this was just an example).
Lvl up this skill on lvl 6/11/16 always when it's avaible.
Get golem neutral buff to lower down it's cd all the way. Gank whenever it's up. Catch players near tower with it to maximize the damage they recieve.
Think of clever usage of blink+ulti from the jungle.
You should focus on getting your Ultimate as powerfull as you can.
This is why your item build should look like this:
Start of with buyingCloth Armor and 5x.
After 1st phase of jungling you should getMadred's Razors. This will significantly boost your jungling and lvling.
If you were lucky and you ganked som1 before 1st return to base, you should have cash forif not just make your way to jungle again to reach lvl 6.
You should get 1-2 ppl killed by the time you return to base again and complete (or buy full)Berserker's Greaves andVampiric Scepter.
Your core should look like this:
Now you are already a killing machine. Try to gank as much as possible and hold your neutral buffs up all the time. Kill dragon on spawning timer.
You should mix jungling/laning/destroying towers/ganking/rebuffing untill you get enaugh cash to completeMadred's Bloodrazor. If you got killed by that time, try at least to gather enaugh cash forRecurve Bow. It will significantly boost your AS, and make those razors proc faster.
After completing Bloodrazor, check what other team looks like. If it's mana users (and by mana users i mean even champs like Yi who is not a caster, i mean ALL champions with mana bar) and you have at least 4 of them, gather gold forWit's End. If other team has at least 2 non mana users, gather gold forLast Whisper.
Your core should look like one of those:OR
Now you are fully equipped. You dont need much more tbh to be extremaly deadly. Your AS is very high, your on hit effects are pain in the ***, you can rebuff yourself and jungle extremaly fast (killing dragon in 15 sec).
Now you can support your team a bittish, or feed yourself a bit (call it as you want). By this i mean, that if enemy team has a stealth char (Eve, Twitch, Shaco) buyOracle's Elixir. You will be hated even more. Doing this can also quite fed you since stealthers like Eve, and Twitch usualy roam the map alone thinking they are immortal. This has also great team support role. Getting fed never been easier!
Now that we got all the NESSESARY items, we can get some more costy ones.
We should start with doing something about thisVampiric Scepter, so lets getB. F. Sword and combine it intoThe Bloodthirster.
Now that we got some AD (we totaly dont need AS by that moment since we are already capped at about 2.3-2.5 - depends on your runes) we can focus on another damaging item. Lets make even more use of our ultimate and lets get aThe Black Cleaver. After succesfull Ultimating your enemy, you will get a fully stacked debuff... bye bye armor. Not even talking about HUGE AD boost it gives.
Many ppl give WW a defensive items coz they feel he is too squishy. Well, i rather takeFrozen Mallet. It gives you enaugh HP boost, with also a bit of AD and most nessesary that nasty slow debuff. Chasing enemy champions was never easier.
Early game 1-6
Mid game 6-15
Late game 16-18
Help on team fights.
How to jungle?
This is the newest and in my opinion best way i discovered after many many many games of testing diferent routes/item builds and so on.
i tend to finish games with at least 8:1 KD ratio (Kill/Death) without any defensive items in my build.
I am also presenting 2 other ways that you might use and find it more suitable for you.
As you see its a combination of Easy and Hard way.
Why would you use this way?
Its the FASTEST way to reach lvl 6. Its very effective to always be ready to gank a low HP target on one of the lanes. You will have runes faster.
Side-effect is that you will spend more time within single points of the map = more vurneable if the team goes into woods to gank you. Be aware of misses.
Its also less gold effective.
Start off with buying:+ 5x
Yes yes 5 potions. You will need them. But you will get lvl faster and you will be able to get this money back faster by ganking champions later on. Its totaly worth it. Depending on Wolf/Golem camps you will end up with 0 or at best 1 potion on lvl 6.
Start with Wolf/Golem camp near red lizard buff spot. If you face golem, standard is hit once and smite than use HC and kill off 2nd golem. (You will get lvl 2 just by killing this one camp) if you get wolfes, save your smite, HC kill the big wolf and finish off the remaining 2. DO NOT use potion on any of the spawns by now.
If you got golems, you will already have HS as a skill. If you got wolfes, you will still have smite ready.
Go to wraith camp.
Smite the Blue one and HC finish off red ones. If your smite is on CD, than Enable HC and hit fiew times, finish it off with Hungering strike ONCE during the killing of blue one process, finish off the red ones. DO NOT use any potions on this one as well.
Move your hairy *** to next Golem/Wolf Camp near blue golem buff spot. By that time your smite will be on cd no matter what. (either from 1st camp or from wraith killing. So this time if you get Golems, just enable HC and hit hit hit one till he is dead. When he dies pop your 1st Health potion, and kill of 2nd one. You should be able to do it fast enaugh and health pot should keep you at >90% health. Dont spend mana on HS this time. Health pot should be enaugh. If you get wolf camp just use standard HC killing no pot, no hs.
Next stop is Blue buff golem. Your smite cd should be off cd (if you had golems in 1st camp) or nearly ending (if you had used it on wraiths). If its ready, instantly use it on big golem so you will start its cooldown already, and kill of small ones with HC active, pop health pot, and finish off smited big golem. Used HS on CD (you will get the mana back VERY quicky so dont bother with it). If you have smite on cd, just HC kill of small ones, pop health pot, and start whooping big one with spamming HS on cd. When smite is ready instantly use it on big one.
Now that you have your blue buff ready go back to your 1st spot (the mobs respawned there) skipp the red lizards at this point. Kill of the golems/wolfes (using HC and HS on CD - you are mana undependant at this moment). After this go to Lizards. HC kill off the small ones, pop health pot, and start whomping the lizard. By the time you do it, your CD on smite should get up again. Smite it and finish off (HS / HC usage on cd).
After you get both blue and red buff, go to wraiths camp. Use HC and HS on blue one, finish it off asap. Than kill of the small ones. The fastest way is to switch targets 1-2-3 to let them burn a bit from the red buff.
Port to your base and buy:If you were lucky, and aware of your map you might even get 1-2 champion kills/assists. So each time (after getting lvl 3) you pass close to any of the lanes, check if there is som1 that needs just that 1 hit to finish them off. Hid in bushes, flash out, hit->HS and get yourself a kill (or lets call it names... killsteal it :) ) and get back to woods.
If you were lucky you will have already enaugh cash for:so buy em. If not, save rest of the cash (about 260-280 gold) and head to Blue golem/wolf camp (it will be up by the time you were porting to base).
Kill this camp using only HC. Razors + red buff will do the damage work.
Again check for weak targets, mainly in middle. (Yellow "?" mark) if you dont see anything valuable for killing move directly for dragon.
You will still have your blue and red buff active. So spam HC+HS on CD, use your remaining pots. (blue buff might run out during this battle). Depending on your luck in golem/wolf and range of exp stolen by mid player from wraiths, you will be lvl 5 or 6 by this moment, this shouldn't bother you. You will go and get your blue buff by that time.
After this you will be 100% lvl 6 and ready for your ganking extravaganza.
After your 1st kill/doublekill port back to base and get finish your core witch should look like this:And than gather cash for full Bloodrazor.
Than follow the rest of the guide.
Thiese are remaining/suggested 2 ways of jungling. Hard way, or easy way.
I'll explain the easy way 1st.
Buy a sword and 1 potion. Pick up Hunters Call skill and move to 1 position. start with wolf/golem camp.
If you get wolf spawn, just use Hunters call and slay the big one first. Than finish off the small ones. DO NOT, EVER! use Smite on wolf camps. Try not to use Hungering strike also since you will mana starve quickly.
If you get the golem spawn, use smite imidietly kill first one quickly, enable hunters call and kill off 2nd one.
move to ghosts spot number 2.
If you got the wolf spawn, you should have Smite still ready. Smite the Blue one (he has life drain an dis quite hard to kill on lvl 1-2) and finish off the small ones with hunters call active.
If you got the golem camp 1st, than your smite will be on cd. If you lvled (and you should with this spec and mastery tree) you should already have HS on lvl 1. Start with HS on blue one, enable hunters call and finish off the blue one, than kill off the small ones and move to spot number 3.
Again you should get either wolf or golem camp. If you got the wolfs, hunters call and kill off the big wolf, STILL DONT USE HS OR SMITE!. If you got golems 2nd time, your smite should be off cd in like 5-10 sec. wait up and do same thing. If you have golems 1st time and you used your smite on ghosts, than hunters call, poke 1st one, kill use health potion 1st, than if REALY nessesary use HS to keep yourself alive.
Move to spot number 4. This is the tricky one since you go to enemy terretory. Be VERY aware of any misses, and try to LoS while you sneak through. You might get a kill if the lane is doing good job. Announce a gank and try to gank. If not, just follow up 4->5 with same tactics. At this point you have already cash for the bloodrazors. Port to the base and buy them.
At this point, you are already a farming machine. Just do same route, but now gank the neutral buffs monsters on your way, and try to keep the smite for them. Bloodrazors will do the work on small creeps (wolfs/golems/wraiths).
After you kill everything on your side, you should be at lvl 6. have both blue and red buff.
Go go gank!
This time, check the lanes, pick one, and gank.
Announce the gank, show your target by pinging. Tell your teammates to back up, and let your pray push some. Hide in those bushes, wait for someone to push as close to your tower as possible.
Initiate the gank by ultimating the target, use Hungering Strike, and Hunters call. If your teammates have at least 1/10 of brain, they will help you, and you will get your kill or assist.
Now that your ulti is on cd (lowered by blue rune) go and kill your first dragon.
After killing the dragon, your ultimate should be again ready. Pick a lane again, and hide in the bushes again. Do what i wrote again, and get your next kill/assist.
At this point you should have some cash ready. Port up to base.
Buy nessesary equipment = Madred's Bloodrazor, or at least items you need for it.
Dont spend cash on anything else. Bloodrazor >>> All.
After you bought items, do the jungle run again, get red buff. Look at mid lane, if its possible gank the mid guy coz your ulti is already ready this point, and move to blue buff monster. Gank and so on and so on.
Try to always have both buffs on you. Jungle for them while your ultimate is on cd. Try to kill dragon always when you pass it and your ulti is on cd.
The Hard way.
Its not nessesary much harder, but it requires focus and some calculation skills.
You start with Wraiths camp 1st. Smite the blue one imidietly, Hunters Call and kill off small ones. Move to the left camp (wolf/golem).
Kill off them using stadard tactics.
now the tricky part. Big blue buff golem.
Kill of the small ones with Hunters call active, drink up your health pot and wack the big one! Use HS on cd to keep yourself alive. Smite him, and finish off.
After killing him. port to base. buy nessesary items for Bloodrazors, and continue to small camp, number 5. Kill off this camp, move to red buff lizards. Hunters call the small ones, smite big one and use HS on cd (you have blue buff so mana is not an issue, keep yourself at high HP.) move to wraiths. At this point you close a circle. Do same **** again, till you have lvl 6 and start the gank (see above).
Tip. If you feel unsure about your skills, it might be a good idea to start with+ 3xIf you are going the "hard way".
Hope you like it.
I will try to make a movie too. This will take some time.
Please Leave a comment and rate.

'Stangs win 6th straight
On Thursday, Sweetwa-ter's Mustangs began 2013 by beating Coahoma for their sixth straight win. And as the final 66-37 score will attest, it wasn't close.Kaleb Hoover poured in 19 points while Dylan Ben-nett added 10, Michael Hunt nine and Isaiah McGee eight for the 10-7 Mustangs, who haven't lost since Dec. 14. The 29-point win was the most lopsided of the season. Coahoma scored just 10 points in the second half of Thursday's game at Mus-tang Gym after Sweetwater led by nine points, 36-27, over the Bulldogs at inter-mission. Coahoma was held scoreless from the field in the second half until the 5:01 mark of the fourth period and by then Sweetwater — which lost to Coahoma 70-66 in overtime without three key players back in early December — had an insurmountable 56-33 lead. The lead reached 31 (66-35) on a free throw by Michael Hunt with 48 seconds left.All 11 players who suited up against Coahoma scored for Sweetwater. Jack Poe, who like Hunt hit a pair of treys, finished with six points and Deandre Gatson five. Cole Maxwell, Sean Morrow, Quentin Wetsel and Rhett Torres had two points and Trey Taylor one. Sweetwater will travel to San Angelo Lake View on Tuesday to end non-district play and opens district by hosting Monahans a week from today."This was a good win for us. We played well across the board," said head coach Al Hunt. "What's helped us is that we're playing solid defense right now. This was a good team win."Sweetwater's 10 victories equal its total for all of last season, when the Mustangs finished the year with an overall mark of 10-21.

Checked out SAPPHIRE club on friday august 5 & here's some notes:
--very ideal location [2 blocks east of 59-60 st train station]
--thorough security
--very polished dj [DJ LEX]
--first club opened in las vegas
--"Maria" very helpful & professional guide
--scores club was formerly at same location
--met General Manager DESMOND FINGER
--camera policy mainly same as show palace
--always available comp/vip option
--music video style stage screen
--wide variety of sport screens
--main stage much larger than headquarters yet smaller than show palace's 3 stages[also has small stage by bar]
--offered comp passes from "Willow"
--don't use xtreme magazine[was under impression all clubs did]
--offers car service & restaurant! [prime333.com]
Lastly,regarding special guest/fetish model RUBBER DOLL [@rubberdoll] there was surprisingly lack of pop even with a full house.(guessing factors that she's not usual porn star,summer weather & drinking to explain this) She made most of this environment with colorful,generous & bold stage work! I'm happy to add that after months of searching for a new home (after show palace became just another strip club since new management last summer) I've found one that doesn't have any illegal-type "scandals" to muddy it's legal shine. (like the daily news/sin city story of biased management giving favors to retired cop) I highly recommend this jewel of visual/mental pleasure to anyone!

LIVING in Eretz Israel is the equivalent of all the Mitzvot of the Torah (Sifri, Parashat Re'eh, TOSEFTA, AVODA ZARA 5:2)
Fortunate is he who merits in his life to FIX HIS RESIDENCE in Eretz HaKodesh (Zohar Hakadosh Iii 72b) and remove from your heart this false belief that a man has more blessings outside the land (Alshich Hakadosh, Ki Tavo 28:6)
1. To believe in the existence and providence of G-d.
2. Not to believe that there are any other gods.
3. To believe that G-d is an absolute unity.
4. To love G-d.
5. To fear G-d.
6. To guard oneself from foreign thoughts.

- Quick start guide
- Import, analyze, and report
- Add custom information to applications
- Prepare for a XenApp or XenDesktop 7.x upgrade
- Prepare for a move to XenApp or XenDesktop 7.x
You can record information about applications that is specific to your organization in AppDNA application attributes. An application attribute can contain information such as asset ID, cost center, application status, or owner.
The following attributes are already created:
AppIDs, tracked by many organizations, might be an asset tag number or other tracking number held in a corporate purchasing system or other application. You are responsible for obtaining AppIDs from your corporate system: You can handle that manually, through scripts that you write, or by working with Citrix Consulting to integrate AppDNA with your corporate system. If you do not assign a value to AppIDs, AppDNA assigns them, starting at 1, based on the order in which the applications are imported into AppDNA.
To add custom information to applications you:
When creating an attribute, use the AppDNA management console to:
You must use the AppDNA management console to create application attributes.
The Application attributes screen appears.
This is the label that will identify the attribute on reports.
Your selection determines which reports can include the attribute. If you select the Per-report attribute check box, the attribute cannot appear on the Application List screen or the Overview Summary report, which include only the data that applies globally to the application.
For example, suppose that you are creating an attribute, Tested, to indicate whether the application is tested. If the value for Tested might differ for the various operating systems, select the check box.
For example, suppose that you are creating an attribute for cost center. In your organization, the same cost center applies for a particular application, regardless of the operating system. In this case, you would not select the check box.
After you create an attribute, you cannot change its Per-report attribute setting.
The data type restricts the attribute value to a particular input format.
To reorder a list or change its members, see To edit a list, later in this section.

Israeli police sent on wild-goose chase
During my interrogation by the Israeli police (by six men for 6 & a half hours until midnight) in Jerusalem's Russian Compound, I was completely confident God was in control; that nothing could happen without his express permission. I knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that I stood before God the Father and Jesus Christ. I felt confident as I stood up for God's truth, Christ would stand up for me just as surely as He did for our brother Stephen (Acts 7:56). Knowing their very breath was in God's hands, an attempt to intimidate me (by some bald or shaved head guy who appeared to be the leader - who they waited for to come from Haifa) actually amused me. If God declares all nations put together are still less than the dust on the scales (Isaiah 40:15):, who were these little men except something in their big imaginations? Granted, one bought me a sandwich from across the street, another offered me his shirt I complimented him on, and another offered me one of the many pictures of the Temple Mount that adorned the walls. Ironically, I was wearing one of those NO FEAR t-shirts.

4 Degrees of Possession:
1st Degree - Mindshadow Demon in question only appears as an evil thought in the subject's mind. Only those on the edge are likely to be affected. Simple interventions can clear this, if the subject is aware of it.
2nd Degree - Power Struggle Demon in question is a major force in the target's mind. Although the subject still has control, this is fragile and could be comprimised by pre-existing mental instability. It may take some effort, but moderate rituals can clear this.
3rd Degree - Possessed Classical possession - Demon is in full control of the victim. Usually requires full exorcism to clear.
4th Degree - Consumed The victims physical form is used to build a physical body for the subject demon. This transformation is usually very horrifying depending on the nature of the demon. It may appear as a simple morphing, like lycanthropes, or more spectacular, including the demon form bursting out of the victims body.
This form of possession should be dealt mechanic-wise as a powerful death spell.

The origin of wedding presents
This is the week ladies and gentleman. The January "white sales" and other delightful retail selling events have begun. This is the month deep discounts can be found in just about every retail and outlet mall in the country. I don't really know, but I suspect that this annual phenomenon extends beyond borders. I am sure it is an international happening.
The month of January is when all the stuff that wasn't sold at Christmas goes on sale. If things don't go exactly as planned, and if the sale merchandise doesn't move, the sale will be extended into February until some sucker is dumb enough to actually pay real money for this unwanted merchandise.
Retailers are looking for chronic shoppers who can't see beyond a 70 percent off price tag. "It's 70 percent off!" they chant. "This is the chance of a lifetime! I can't resist!" they shout.
Chronic shoppers aren't even aware that they might be buying a flange grommet for the lipdoozle on a horse-drawn plow. It doesn't matter. They don't care. It's 70 percent off. They cannot pass up the concept of buying anything cheap, whether they need it or not. They can find out what the item is used for later. They just want to buy it now because quantities are limited and the sale item is 70 percent off.
These shoppers don't even consider that the original price for the item was beyond ridiculous. Their purpose in life is to take advantage of opportunity when it presents itself. "Those who hesitate miss out!" they say. "Strike when the iron is hot!" is their motto.
These people live for the month of January. They are drawn like lemmings to signs that say: "Not floor samples! Brand-new in the original box! Never been opened! Special shipment direct from the factory!"
I don't know this for certain, it is just a rumor. But as I understand it, when chronic shoppers get the sale merchandise home, they are embarrassed beyond recovery for being sucked into buying some useless item for an obscenely low price.
Consequently, they stash these items far in the back of closets where no one will ever find them. They are stored in areas where children accidentally go when they play hide-and-seek and are never seen again.
The items are not retrieved until a wedding invitation is received in the mail. The useless merchandise is then lavishly gift-wrapped and appears on the gift table at the reception of said an unsuspecting bride. When the bride returns from her exotic honeymoon, she will open the gift with her husband.
"What the hell?" she will say. "Wow!" her husband will reply. "A flange grommet for a lipdoozle. My great grandfather could have used that. It's a vital part for a horse-drawn plow."
"But sweetheart," the bride will reply. "We live in Manhattan, and we can't really afford a horsedrawn plow, although we sorely need one. What, oh love of my life, do you propose we do with this lip grommet flangedoozle or whatever you call it?"
"Oh, don't worry about it," her husband will say. "Just stash it in some closet until we're invited to a wedding. Then re-wrap it and give it away to the next bride. Let her deal with it."
The original flange grommet for the lipdoozle was purchased in 1810. It has been passed on to at least two weddings a year for more than two centuries for a total of more than 400 weddings. Although that is probably some kind of a record, we will never know.
Wedding gifts are born from people with the chronic shopper disease. The malady causes irresistible urges to buy anything on sale. The sickness is generally the deep dark secret of families and victims who don't want their identity revealed. They won't even put the merchandise in the trash out of fear that their garbage man will divulge the most closely guarded skeleton in their closet and let everyone know.
Beware of the chronic shoppers. They are easy to spot if you know the telltale signs. They are the people who don't ever look quite right. They wear brand-new old clothing, fashions that went out of style a year or more ago, but yet, they are brand new. When you look at them, you know something is wrong with the picture, but you can't quite put your finger on it.
Even their hairstyles are a bit odd. They go to hairdressers who graduated from the hair academy ten years ago and never kept up with the new styles, so they have been relegated to the "el cheapo" salons.
You know who I'm talking about. We all know at least one person who has been stricken with the chronic shopper or "bargain hunter" disease, the source of wedding presents in this system that we just can't seem to understand.

When the iPad was announced, we all crammed into a conference room to watch live and drool over every shiny corner and reflecty icon. After the glow of the initial announcement wore off, many of us came to the conclusion that the iPad was actually pretty useless. "It's a giant iPhone!" some said. Others exclaimed, "WTF, no Flash!?". Still, we knew that most Apple fanbots (us included) would have to have one anyway.
Knowing that many of our loyal geeky customers would eventually get their retractable claws on an iPad at some point, we knew we needed to take it to the next level. What cool things could we do with the iPad that you, our lovely geek customers, would squee over? A few brainstorming sessions later, the idea of a MAME cabinet came up and we knew we'd struck gold.

The 14th annual Andrew John Zuccari Memorial Scholarship award nomination and application forms are now available for Niagara-Wheatfield seniors in the school guidance office.
The scholarship, in the amount of $1,000, is awarded each year in memory of Andrew John Zuccari, a 14-year-old student at the school who was killed in 1995 by a drunk driver. Scholarship candidates are students who display the qualities of compassion for others, kindness, willingness to help and a sense of humor used to enrich the lives of others.
"These are qualities we cherished in Andy, and we want to recognize and reward students who also possess these character traits. It is not an academic nor a financial need scholarship, but students who fit into those categories can certainly be selected and are encouraged to apply. We are basically looking for an all-around good kid with good character and a caring nature who is planning to attend college or higher education after high school," said Luanne Zuccari, Andy's mother and one of the selection committee members for the scholarship award. "We've been able to award funding to over 30 students over the years, since 1999, when we presented the first scholarship, to a member of what would have been Andy's graduating class."
Each year, a $1,000 scholarship is awarded to a selected candidate, and for many of the years since then, more than one scholarship has been awarded, in varying amounts.
"We have met so many extraordinary young people as part of this process, that we often, almost every year, end up presenting the one $1,000 scholarship, and then two lesser ones, and sometimes even more. It is the most difficult job in the world to select only one deserving recipient from these groups of absolutely excellent kids," said Zuccari.
Students can be nominated for the scholarship by teachers, parents, or anyone else who believes they know of a serious candidate. In addition, students can nominate themselves. Each set of nominees is narrowed down to a finalist list of five or six, and those finalists are interviewed by a committee of Zuccari family members, school staff and others.
Nominations are due May 1 in the high school guidance office, and finalists will be notified by mail for interviews.

|| Highlights -
14300.31 || Details -14300.31
|| F.A.Qs - 14300.31
California Recordkeeping Standard
14300.31 - Covered Employees
(a) Basic requirement. You must record on the Cal/OSHA Form 300 the recordable injuries and illnesses of all employees on your payroll, whether they are labor, executive, hourly, salary, part-time, seasonal, or migrant workers. You also must record the recordable injuries and illnesses that occur to employees who are not on your payroll if you supervise these employees on a day-to-day basis. If your establishment is organized as a sole proprietorship or partnership, the owner or partners are not considered employees for recordkeeping purposes.
(b) Implementation.
(1) If a self-employed person is injured or becomes ill while doing work at my establishment, do I need to record the injury or illness?
No. Self-employed individuals are not covered by the Cal/OSHA Act or this regulation.
(2) If I obtain employees from a temporary help service, employee leasing service, or personnel supply service, do I have to record an injury or illness occurring to one of those employees?
You must record these injuries and illnesses if you supervise these employees on a day-to-day basis.
(3) If an employee in my establishment is a contractor's employee, must I record an injury or illness occurring to that employee?
If the contractor's employee is under the day-to-day supervision of the contractor, the contractor is responsible for recording the injury or illness. If you supervise the contractor employee's work on a day-to-day basis, you must record the injury or illness.
(4) Must the personnel supply service, temporary help service, employee leasing service, or contractor also record the injuries or illnesses occurring to temporary, leased or contract employees that I supervise on a day-to-day basis?
No. You and the temporary help service, employee leasing service, personnel supply service, or contractor should coordinate your efforts to make sure that each injury and illness is recorded only once: either on your Cal/OSHA Form 300 (if you provide day-to-day supervision) or on the other employer's Cal/OSHA Form 300 (if that company provides day-to-day supervision).

Soriano gave us something to smile about
Soriano's positive attitude something to smile about
When it comes to Alfonso Soriano, most Cubs fans probably will remember "the contract."
I'll remember the smile, the generosity and the work ethic.
From the moment he put pen to paper, there was no way Soriano was going to live up to the eight-year, $136 million contract former general manager Jim Hendry and his bosses at the Tribune Co. gave him in November 2006.
The contract was a gamble. If the Cubs could win a World Series with Soriano, preferably before the Trib could sell the team, it would drive up the value of the franchise. The contract would have been worth it, and in the later years -- meaning now -- it would be somebody else's to clean up.
Current Cubs management, led by Theo Epstein, did the best it could to get something for Soriano in this past week's trade with the Yankees. The Cubs netted pitching prospect Corey Black and saved a little on the money.
In fact, Epstein, general manager Jed Hoyer and field boss Dale Sveum get high marks for how they handled Soriano from the get-go. They came in with an open mind, treated Soriano with respect, coached him and got good enough results for the Cubs to be able to trade him.
Soriano leaves the Cubs with 181 home runs, 11th on the team's all-time list. While he didn't lead the Cubs to the World Series, his own playoff failures were matched by plenty of his teammates in 2007 and 2008.
But a player leaves behind a legacy built on a lot more than numbers. Here are a few things I'll remember:
• Soriano always had a ready smile, for teammates and even members of the media. Before you say, "Sure, I'd be happy, too, making $136 million," know that there are plenty of rich ballplayers who simply are miserable human beings. I've been around a few and seen a few others from across the field.
Soriano's smile was genuine, as was his generosity. I never saw him turn down an interview request, belittle a tough question or snap at a reporter.
Oftentimes, I'd walk into the clubhouse and see that Soriano once again had sprung for ethnic food for the younger players.
• You could almost set your watch by it. Forty minutes before game time, Soriano would head toward the right-field batting cage with his hitting coach, be it Gerald Perry or Von Joshua or Rudy Jaramillo or James Rowson.
Soriano took his craft of hitting seriously, even as he could maddeningly swing at sliders outside the zone and strike out.
When the Epstein regime took over in 2012, Soriano worked tirelessly in spring training and during the season with outfield coach Dave McKay on improving his left-field defense. He was never going to be a gazelle out there, not after his legs gave out, but he became a respectable fielder. Last year, he committed only 1 error, and that was on a ball that he hustled for and dropped.
• In September 2007, the Cubs were battling to win the National League Central after getting off to a horrid start under new manager Lou Piniella.
Soriano almost single-handedly lifted them into the playoffs. In September, he put up a hitting line of .320/.354/.754 for an OPS of 1.108. He hit 14 homers and drove in 27 that month. Without him, the Cubs don't make the playoffs.
• While many players who get superstar money (whether they're superstars or not) tend to sulk and go into a defensive shell when things don't go well, Soriano had the ability to let things roll off his back.
When the fans booed him for either striking out or not getting to a flyball, he'd go back to his position, smile at the bleacher fans and toss them a ball. Oftentimes, Soriano could be both booed and saluted with a bow from the bleachers (much like Andre Dawson was) during the same game.
The only time I saw Soriano really stung by criticism came June 16 of last year, when the Cubs played the Red Sox in a nationally televised Saturday night game at Wrigley Field. Soriano hit a hard line drive that the third baseman dropped. Thinking the catch was made, Soriano stopped, and then was thrown out easily at first base.
Even though the play took only a second or so to develop, fans booed Soriano.
His teammates were furious at the reaction, and starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija spoke for nearly every Cubs player during a seething postgame news conference.
"I think anybody that hits that ball does the same thing," Samardzija said. "Alfonso Soriano is one of the best teammates you could ever have. He plays the game the right way. Every day, he prepares. Anything Alfonso does when he's playing with me in my lineup, I got no problems with. I hope he's in there every day when I pitch and I hope he plays left and I hope he hits third, fourth, fifth or sixth, anywhere.
"Sori takes a lot of heat for a lot of things. It is what it is. There's not one guy in that locker room that has anything bad to say about Sori."
Pretty much sums it up.
