LAS VEGAS (AP) — O.J. Simpson, the former football star, TV pitchman and now Nevada prison inmate No. 1027820, will have a lot going for him when he asks state parole board members this week to release him after serving more than eight years for an ill-fated bid to retrieve sports memorabilia.
Now 70, Simpson will have history in his favor and a clean record behind bars as he approaches the nine-year minimum of his 33-year sentence for armed robbery and assault with a weapon. Plus, the parole board sided with him once before.
No one at his Thursday hearing is expected to oppose releasing him in October — not his victim, not even the former prosecutor who persuaded a jury in Las Vegas to convict Simpson in 2008.
"Assuming that he's behaved himself in prison, I don't think it will be out of line for him to get parole," said David Roger, the retired Clark County district attorney.
Four other men who went with Simpson to a hotel room to retrieve from two memorabilia dealers sports collectibles and personal items that the former football star said belonged to him took plea deals in the heist and received probation.

Two of those men testified that they carried guns. Another who stood trial with Simpson was convicted and served 27 months before the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that Simpson's fame tainted the jury. Simpson's conviction was upheld.
Prison life was a stunning fall for a charismatic celebrity whose storybook career as an electrifying running back dubbed "The Juice" won him the Heisman Trophy as the best college player in 1968 and a place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
He became a sports commentator, Hollywood movie actor, car rental company spokesman and one of the world's most famous people even before his Los Angeles "trial of the century," when he was acquitted in the killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman.
Simpson, appeared grayer and heavier than most remembered him when he was last seen, four years ago.
He will appear Thursday by videoconference from the Lovelock Correctional Center, to be quizzed by four state parole commissioners in Carson City, a two-hour drive away.
Two other members of the board will monitor the hearing, said David Smith, a parole hearing examiner.
The commissioners will have a parole hearing report that has not been made public, plus guidelines and worksheets that would appear to favor Simpson. It plans to make its written risk assessment public after a decision.
They will consider his age, whether his conviction was for a violent crime (it was), his prior criminal history (he had none) and his plans after release, Smith said.
Nevada has about 13,500 prison inmates, and the governor-appointed Board of Parole Commissioners has averaged about 8,300 annual hearings for the past four years. The rate of inmates who are granted parole in discretionary hearings held as they approach their minimum sentence, like Simpson's, averages about 82 percent.
The same four board members also have experience with Simpson, having granted him parole in July 2013 on some charges — kidnapping, robbery and burglary — stemming from the 2007 armed confrontation. The board's decision left Simpson with four years to serve before reaching his minimum time behind bars.
Board members Connie Bisbee, Tony Corda, Adam Endel and Susan Jackson noted at the time that Simpson had a "positive institutional record," with no disciplinary actions behind bars.
Simpson's lawyer, friends and prison officials say that hasn't changed.
"He's really been a positive force in there. He's done a lot of good for a lot of people," said Tom Scotto, a friend from Florida whose wedding Simpson was in Las Vegas to attend the weekend of the robbery.
Scotto said he visits or talks with Simpson every few months.
Simpson leads a Baptist prayer group, mentors inmates, works in the gym, coaches sports teams and serves as commissioner of the prison yard softball league, Scotto said.
Scotto will be among the 15 people with Simpson in a small conference room at the prison, along with Simpson's lawyer, Malcolm LaVergne, daughter Arnelle Simpson and sister Shirley Baker.
A parole case worker, two prison guards and a small pool of media also were expected, along with Bruce Fromong, one of the memorabilia dealers who was robbed.
Fromong said he will attend as a victim of the crime but will be "trying to be good for O.J." He said he suffered four heart attacks and severe financial losses as a result of the robbery but later forgave Simpson.
The other collectibles broker, Alfred Beardsley, died in 2015.
Andy Caldwell, a retired Las Vegas police detective who investigated the Simpson case, will be at the prison but won't be in the room.
"I don't want to offer an opinion," said Caldwell, now a Christian minister in Mill City, Oregon. "I'm just curious to see how everything unfolds."
In a nod to Simpson's celebrity, officials will let the proceedings be streamed live, and the board plans a same-day ruling. A decision usually takes several days.
Laurie Levenson, a Loyola Law School professor and longtime Simpson case analyst, predicted a "tsunami" of public attention if Simpson wins release.
"If this is the ordinary case, he will be paroled," Levenson said. "But O.J. is never the ordinary case."
Al Lasso, a Las Vegas defense attorney who has followed the case but does not represent Simpson, said any other defendant in a similar case probably would have gotten probation, not prison.
"I think he spent more than enough time in prison for a robbery in which he didn't even have a gun himself," Lasso said.
But Michael Shapiro, a New York defense lawyer who provided commentary during Simpson's conviction in Las Vegas in 2008 and his acquittal in Los Angeles in 1995, said freedom was no certainty.
"The judge believed he got away with murder," Shapiro said. "That's the elephant in the room. If the parole authorities feel the same way, he could be in trouble."
This story has been clarified to show that former police Detective Andy Caldwell will be at the prison but not in hearing room and corrects that his church is in Mill City, Oregon, not Lyons, Oregon.
I oppose, keep this ugly ass murderer in prison for life.
Your comment is outrageous, if you want fair justice for everybody including your loved ones, you should want to be certain that a loved one of yours was not somehow sentenced for something he/she was found not guilty of. When we allow what you suggest, it means that people could be sentenced for things they were found not guilty of.
You should never be allowed on a jury. The woman judge acted illegally by doing just what you suggested, she sentenced OJ to 33 years for the murder of OJ wife and friend, it should have been overturned, it was not justice, but no appeals court wanted the hot potato
It will be a travesty of justice now if OJ is not released. I am not a friend of OJ, I will survive if he is not re;leased, but people that care about law should want him released
I agree with you!
Wonder if Nichole Simpson and Ron Goldman will get released from their graves!!!!!
Guilty as OJ still rings true.
OJ was the only man on the planet that had the strength, passion, and familiarity with knives as a weapon to decapitate his wife. Anyone else with brain that just wanted her dead would put a bullet through her chest. Not OJ. HE was on a mission. And the rage was such that he took on two people simultaneously.
Well the sooner he get's out the sooner he can continue to look for Nicole's killer
Maxine waters and Robert Mueller are 2 people that should be looked at in the search for the killer
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn't object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
"The judge believed he got away with murder," Shapiro said. "That's the elephant in the room."
But judges are not supposed to rule based on opinions or emotions, so if the judge's beliefs affected the verdict or the sentence in any way, he shouldn't have heard the case and recused himself. Since OJ was acquitted of the murder charge his record should have reflected that and the judge should not have even considered it.
Simpson will be released and will return to Florida. I'm sure the powers to be in Nevada don't want to be on the hook for paying the health care of an aging 70 year old.
OJ didn't kill his wife, his kid did, why do you think the glove didn't fit…it wasn't his…..
Hopefully when he`s released, he will get busy again trying to find Nicole`s murderer like he said he would.(sarc)
Just like Hillary, O.J. is above the law.
Apparently he didn't serve any time for hard labor. He looks like Jaba the Juice…..
OJ has been in jail because a judge decided that he should have lost the murder trial. This is exactly the kind of judicial overreach that causes problems.
About time…OJ is innocent!!! He was framed..He was framed
Karma? That would be someone with leather gloves, one heck of a grudge, a sharp knife and willing o use them when he gets out.
The face of BLM
If that isn't an intelligent, gentle, loving, kind face, then I've never seen one. Lol!
He must be set free so he can spend his remaining time to find the real killer or killers of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman.
Getting out of N.U.
Well, he's probably been shuckin' and jivin" long enough.
Maybe somebody will cap his arse when he gets out.
The leather glove didn't fit because it had gotten wet. Leather gloves shrink when they get wet.
Whether people like it or not Simpson was found not guilty. Don't aim your anger at him blame the State's decision to put a politically correct woman & black man in charge of the care, when they had far more experienced white prosecutors they could have chose. Of corse it didn't help that the States choice of prosecutors were to busy having an affair to do their job.
After Goldman's father won the civil suit he said it was not about money. Yet he went after Simpson like a vampire after blood for every cent he could provoking him at every turn. Despite the fact he had disowned his son years before for being a loser. At 70, Simpson has zero to lose, it would be great if Simpson got his hands on the father.
Remember being in Lou's Records in Encinitas, CA when we watched Juice run from the law in So Cal – what a surreal moment – with cash money in his possession and a disguise. The look on his face when they acquitted him him tells it all. Kardashian, well, what a slime he was with the "dream team" on board. They got a guilty man off for double murder, by hook or by crook. Listen to Nicole's 911 calls the way. They're online as well – if it's ain't OJ, he knows who did commit the murders.
Throw away the key!
He should have been executed a long time ago for a double murder and now they are freeing this killer on the street.
Don't let The Mass Murderer out of
This animal should have been put down a long time ago. Barring that, introduce him to a tall tree and a short rope
I hope he gets out. After all wouldn't want to see anyone killed at the hearing
This SOB-POS got away with a double murder. He should be in until he croaks! 9 years for his current crime is a small price to pay for a double murder along with the robbery. I use to think he was a great athlete and a star in the NFL however, the double murder and this robbery conviction shows he should be doing at least 20 more years. He use to beat the hell out of his wife and there are photos to prove it. He should have been convicted of the double murder. He basically got away with a double murder because of his star status and a jury that did not do their job based on the evidence. He had a "dream team" of lawyers who was slick enough to convince an incompetent jury to let him walk. This will be a travesty of justice if he walks!!!
Double Jeopardy…..OJ was in essence tried twice for the same crime. He's done his time. Let him go.
O.J. Simpson arranged an armed robbery of two memorabilia dealers. Those dealers were terrorized, and put in fear for their lives by Simpson and the group of thugs Simpson brought to the dealer's hotel room. The dealers were not allowed to leave the premises, and the dealers had valuable articles that they owned stolen from them by force. I believe armed robbery and kidnapping by force should carry a very long sentence, both to punish the perpetrators and also to provide a deterrent effect. I do not believe the time Simpson has served is sufficient for this type of crime. I do not believe Simpson should be released at this time.
If OJ can prove he didn't kill his ex-wife and friend; otherwise question OJ and get who he paid to kill these two people.

MIAMI BEACH, Oct. 5, 2011 – A drug under development at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine could protect against esophagitis induced by radiation treatment, a new study suggests. Results of the study will be presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology annual meeting in Miami Beach.
The study, led by Joel Greenberger, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Pitt, suggests the drug, JP4-039, could offer patients protection from radiation-induced esophagitis, an inflammation of the esophagus that causes intense pain during eating and swallowing. This condition often weakens cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy because they eat significantly less as treatment progresses.
"In past studies, we've proven that JP4-039 offers human cells significant radioprotection," Dr. Greenberger said. "This approach also was successful in animal models, and we hope to translate our work into a clinical trial in the near future."
Patients with cancers of the lung are most likely to suffer from radiation-induced esophagitis. If their pain can be reduced or even eradicated, they could stand a better chance of completing their cancer treatments successfully.
This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health.

Episodes like this one, encourage me to start blogging again. Consider lines like this from Obama's recent appearance in Raleigh
Obama says, "we helped stop a recession from becoming a depression," and explains how the jobs programs in the stimulus are helping. Says tax cuts are helping people buy "cupcakes and other necessities of life."
Now, had Bush said this, the Media would be hounding him as absurb, calous, thoughtless, idiotic and out of touch. And maybe rightly so, because the statement is moronic to say the least. Except that Obama wasn't being moronic, he was being quite sardonic in his gratuitous disrespect and disdain for the America People. And yet the same people who feared that the last President would abscond with their liberty, do no more than giggle at the intense loathing this Man holds for them and humanity in general.
Mother Necessity is said to have birthed a Nation of dreamers and achievers the likes of which humanity had never seen. This Man should come to be known as Brotha Necessity as he will make certain her offspring return to the dirt from wence they arose; housed, dumb, happy and progressively declining until they are all dead... all by his Necessity and of course, his Brother Love.

Have students take out their Volumes of Cross-Sectional Solids sheet that we gave them 2 days ago, and talk through one or two of these examples to summarize the process for drawing and labeling the picture, writing the area expression for the cross-section, and integrating to obtain the volume. Although we distributed this sheet on the 2nd day of this set of 4 lessons, for some students this sheet will make more sense now that we have spent more time with cross-sectional solids. Students may refer to this sheet throughout class today as they check the mathematics in other groups' pipe cleaners projects.

Geek Gear For You and Your Dog
I get lots of emails and messages asking for help on picking out a new computer, sound system, and cell phone, but not too often do I get asked for help to prepare for a new addition – a new dog! Community member nxtannawintour sent me the following message:
I'm in the process of buying a dachshund, which I've named Link - after Legends of Zelda, of course. Now I'm looking for gamer-esque accessories for the dog, like a collar, leash, and carrier. Do you know of any websites that sell anything of that sort? I come to the blog for all things geek for chicks and I felt that this would be the most qualified place to ask!
How could I resist!? I'm not all that familiar with doggie goods, so I've asked my pal PetSugar to get in on the action — she's got you covered on geeky pet accessories, while I'm offering up geeky gear which you can use to help you train, keep track of, and celebrate your pooch every day. Check out my selections here, but then head over to see what kinds of goodies PetSugar has found for your furry friends!

Film Noir Vixen

Novato, Californ...
Vogue 2339, Original 1948 Design: Misses' Jacket and Skirt: Loose-fitting, partially interfaced, lined, hip-length jacket (fitted through waist) has collar, shoulder pads, princess seams and long, two-piece sleeves. A: cuffs. Semi-fitted, A-line, lined skirt, below mid-calf, has waistband, side slits and side snap closing.
I finished this suit back in 2005, so I do not remember much about the construction. That being said, it was the first structured suit I ever attempted and I do not remember anything being overwhelming. Vogue gave it an "Average" rating, and I think that is probably about right.
I adore this pattern. When I find a fantastic wool, I may have to pull it out again, now that I understand more about construction and tailoring. And I know I could do a lot better on those bound buttonholes!
And if you can get your hands on it (it is now out of print), I would absolutely recommend this pattern. The classic lines will never go out of style!
It is certainly not the best work I have ever done, but I do love this suit!

Wow! This is extremely great! May I ask you one question: do you wear the right underwear underneath (a corsage or something) to have this perfectly defined waist or is the pattern and the fit just that well that it puts your advantages into the perfect light? I just ask this question 'cause I have the feeling that some retro patterns look very waist-emphasizing on the pictures, but when you sew them to your correct measurements, they are not that tight and defining, I mean they don't have the fit how it is meant to be. So I think you would normally need a corsage underneath to get that right fit. And here with your suit we have the perfect "how it should be". And I wonder if it's the pattern or if you know how to wear it (the right underwear).

I am wearing a long-line bra underneath the suit. It has a couple of plastic bones along the side seams, and is not perfect, but it gives a bit more of a defined waist look to the suit.
I also took in the dart and side seams of the jacket for a closer fit. And I altered the skirt waistband to have zero ease which helps to pull the waist in.
A corset would probably be a better option, but I have yet to find one that I like/can afford. One of these days I will get around to making my own with spiral steel boning (so much better than plastic!).

Executives want to restore shoemaking in Dexter
Potential job fair to be held
Executives want to restore shoemaking in Dexter
Potential job fair to be held
DEXTER, Maine —
Maine business executives who want to bring shoe manufacturing back to the town of Dexter are gauging interest at a job fair.
Officials say they are looking for people with experience in shoe manufacturing, sales or marketing, along with retired shoe makers willing to help train new employees.
Dexter Shoe officials decided to close the flagship shoe plant in Dexter in 2001, with the brand joining other Maine names like G.H. Bass and Cole Haan that are now made overseas.
But times may be changing. Businesspeople who want to start a custom shoe manufacturing operation in Dexter say some shoe manufacturers and retailers now want American-made products.

NORTH BERWICK, Maine — Rival night was all Marshwood High School, as the Hawks girls basketball team gained momentum heading into the Western Maine Class A tournament with Thursday's 53-34 win at Noble.
After a 1-5 start, Marshwood (9-9) is now 8-4 in its last 12 games (all in 2013) and will make the tournament as the No. 10 seed, according to coach Lee Petrie. He said they will visit No. 7 Thornton Academy next Wednesday in the first round.
Noble finished the season at 1-17.
Sophomore guard Megan McLean jump-started the Hawks with nine of their first 13 points as they leapt out 13-6 and never looked back.
McLean led Marshwood with a game-high 15 points as 11 Hawks scored. Hannah Ferguson added eight points, while Lydia St. Pierre, Alli Schoff and Joelle Casey had five each.
"We played as a team and had come off a big win (over Massabesic on Tuesday)," McLean said, "so everyone was hyped up. I was just trying to pressure them and get steals."
Chandler Waterman paced Noble with 13 points, while Amber Kelly added seven and Katie Taylor had six.
"I wouldn't want to play anyone but Marshwood (for my last game)," Waterman said.
Marshwood's pesky press didn't give the Knights the problems in the backcourt it did at Marshwood last month. The problem was, once they broke it, they ended up getting nothing to show for their hard work.
Then the Hawks would make them pay at the other end.
"We didn't take care of the ball," said Noble coach John Coffin. "We threw the ball away. We did what we wanted to do, throwing the ball over the top. But then we'd get nervous and throw the ball away. We did a great job of getting by the press, we just couldn't finish."
Marshwood led 13-8 after the first quarter, but used a late second-quarter surge to up the lead to 15.
Noble's Molly Pritchett hit one of two free throws to cut the lead to 19-12 at 2:36. Marshwood ended the quarter on a 12-4 run to lead 31-16 at the break.
"We had trouble with their 2-3 zone," said Marshwood's Petrie. "But once Megan started taking it to the rim, that pulled them off and we got our other stuff going. ... She's elevating her game with the knowledge piece. Talent-wise she's good and getting better. Her shot is coming and she works tirelessly."
The Hawks' defense forced 16 Noble turnovers over the first 16 minutes, to eight for the visitors.
Ferguson hit two buckets, Schoff had a three-point play and Casey buried three free throws to contribute to the outburst.
Taylor's layup just beat the buzzer to give Noble a little life, and certainly brought the lively home crowd to life for a moment.
Marshwood used a 12-5 burst to start the third quarter and go up 43-21. McLean and Macy Morrison each hit a 3-pointer during the surge. It was more than enough to put the game away.
The Hawks led 44-25 after three stops, and led by as many as 23 in the final quarter.
Marshwood is now hoping it can keep its momentum going into the postseason against Thornton, who it beat in last year's quarters at the Portland Expo.
"We've just got to keep the pressure up and the momentum going," McLean added. "We need to keep working hard at practices and keep it going."
Marshwood, 53-34
MARSHWOOD (53) — McLean 6-1-15, Gori 2-0-4, Ferguson 4-0-8, Kashmer 2-0-4, St. Pierre 2-0-5, Philbrick 0-2-2, Casey 1-3-5, Schoff 2-1-5, Hyson 0-1-1, Morrison 1-0-3, Vassova 0-1-1. Totals: 20-9-53.
NOBLE (34) — Woodcock 1-0-2, Kelly 3-0-7, Pritchett 0-4-4, Bailey 1-0-2, Waterman 5-3-13, Taylor 3-0-6, Mallett 0-0-0, Gebhardt 0-0-0, Logan 0-0-0, Carignan 0-0-0. Totals: 13-7-34.
Marshwood (9-9) 13 18 13 9 — 53
Noble (1-17) 8 8 9 9 — 34
3-pointers: M-4 (McLean 2, St. Pierre, Morrison); N-1 (Kelly).

Electronic Adjudication Management System (EAMS) Insider
Issue 34 September 14, 2011
Welcome to EAMS Insider, the newsletter about the Electronic Adjudication Management System (EAMS).
The Division of Workers' Compensation fields many questions from injured workers, employers, attorneys, insurers, lien claimants, and others about the new system. This newsletter was created to answer those questions and share information. Every month, EAMS Insider will provide information on new developments and what to expect during this transition. Bulletins will also be sent to subscribers for important announcements. (Sign up to be a subscriber at email@example.com.)
EAMS updates
Thanks to all of the people who attended the Electronic Filing Expo in Los Angeles on July 29. There was such a great response that another E-Filing Expo is being planned for Van Nuys on Oct. 6.
Like the Los Angeles session, the Van Nuys E Filing Expo will demonstrate the benefits of "joining the E-Team" by becoming an electronic filer using the two methods available:
The expo will be at the Van Nuys DWC office's meeting room, 6150 Van Nuys Blvd. Events will start at 10 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m., with an hour break from noon until 1 p.m. The program will repeat throughout the day, so plan to arrive sometime between 10 and 2.
Approved vendors and DWC experts will be available for consultation and can get you signed up to become an electronic filer on the spot. There will be refreshments and prizes. Best of all, the expo is free. There is no need to register; just come any time between the aforementioned times.
And for those of you in Northern California that have been asking for an expo in your area, we hope to accommodate you in the future. Stay tuned.
JET File FAQs
JET File has received a very positive response since it went live on June 27. Those who have tried it love it, and you might too. The following FAQs have been compiled to give some insight into JET File. Read through to have questions answered and see if this new electronic filing service is a good fit.
About the basics:
Q: What is JET File?
A: JET File is an electronic filing method that transmits DWC forms and attachments using secure State of California servers. JET File is designed more for large-volume filers.
Q: What are the differences between JET File and e-forms?
A: Some key differences: JET File is currently limited to six forms only, but allows system-to-system filing of multiple documents in one submission. E-forms are submitted one at a time, but all forms and attachments are available for submission. Also, e-form filers have access to the electronic case file in EAMS if they are a party to a case. JET Filers do not have access to the electronic case filers, but can use the public information case search function to research case information.
Q: How much does it cost to use JET File?
A: It depends on which filing method you choose. There are three options: You can purchase software from an approved vendor, or use a third party filer to transmit on your behalf, or build your own transmission process. You will have to weigh the costs and benefits of each method to determine which one suits your business.
The cost of purchasing software or using a third party filer will vary depending on the vendor and the services they offer. A list of approved vendors—those who have tested their services with DWC—is posted on this Web site. If building your own pipeline, costs will include staffing and maintaining your system.
Q: Why are only six forms available for JET File?
A: Because those six forms—application for adjudication of claim, declaration of readiness to proceed (to hearing), declaration of readiness to proceed (to expedited trial), compromise and release, stipulations with request for award, and notice and request for allowance of lien—are the most commonly filed. JET File is designed to reduce the paper flow at the district offices and speed the resolution of cases, and this will happen by redirecting the majority of filings from paper OCR forms to an electronic method.
If you need to file a form that is not available by JET File, you will have to use the OCR form or the e-form, if in the e-forms trial.
Q: If I use JET File to file DORs, will I always have to file DORs using JET File, or can I file OCR forms as well, depending on the situation?
A: JET File is encouraged but not mandatory for the six available forms. You are allowed to use both JET File and OCR forms.
Q: What are the JET File hours of operation?
A: JET File is available Monday through Saturday. Hours are 4:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. except for Thursday, when it closes at 5:30 p.m. JET File is not available on Sunday.
Q: Do I need special training to use JET File?
A: Study the JET File materials on the Web site in order to learn how the process works, and follow the rules in the trading partner agreement. If using a third party filer, read the business rules and trading partner agreement. Builders of a proprietary transmission process will need to follow XML transmission code using specifications published by DWC and conduct code testing to receive validation.
About using JET File:
Q: When using JET File, how will I know if my documents made it into EAMS?
A: You will be sent an automatic electronic notice to show that your submission was successfully received. A second automatic response will be sent for successful filing into EAMS. All responses will need to be picked up from the user's account on the OTECH server.
Q: How will I be notified of error?
A: JET Filers receive automatic electronic notice of all errors or acceptance. All errors are delivered in one transmission. Error notices will be placed on the OTECH server for pickup by the filer.
Q: If I send 30 documents in one JET File submission, and one document has errors, does that mean that all 30 documents will have to be redone?
A: No. The 29 error-free documents will be accepted, and you will be sent a notice that details the errors in the problem document so that you can fix them and resend.
Q: Will JET File tell me the status of my case?
A: No. JET File is strictly a filing method. To find out case status, use the public information search tool.
Q: Will JET File give us email notification of case events?
A: No. JET File is a way to get your forms into EAMS electronically. You will be apprised of the status of your forms at the time of filing and will get a court date (if applicable), but JET File does not monitor case events like EDEX.
Q: Will JET File send notifications to other parties in the case?
A: No. JET File follows the court administrator regulations for filing. You will be responsible for sending notifications to other parties.
Q: If I submit my forms through JET File, how do I retrieve them to serve copies on other parties?
A: You must convert your data file into a printable format prior to submission in order to serve the parties in a case. Also, you should keep a copy of everything you submit for your own records.
Q: If I print out a form I submitted to JET File, is this considered a legal document?
A: The XML transmission to JET File is considered the original document, and a printed PDF document is acceptable for legal purposes as long as the information is the same. See the court administrator regulations for more information.
Q: Can I submit walk-through documents using JET File?
A: Yes, you can JET File compromise and release and stipulations.
About e-forms and JET File:
Q: I understand participants in the e-forms trial can use JET File. How does that process work?
A: E-filers may file the six forms available in using JET File. All other forms must be submitted by e-forms. In other words, the restrictions on OCR filing in the e-forms trial agreement remain binding at this time.
Q: As an e-filer, I have access to the electronic case file in EAMS when I'm a party to a case. If I'm using JET File, how will I see what's in the EAMS case file?
A: You can view the case file as you normally would as a case participant in the e-forms trial.
Q: Our firm is in the e-forms trial, and we have one person in the office who is our "e-forms expert," in charge of signing in on the computer, filing forms, etc., because they know the procedures. Do we need to designate one person as our "JET File person"?
A: The JET File trading partner agreement specifies that each office have a contact person, and that their information be filed with DWC, which is similar to the e-forms trial agreement. However, as in the e-forms trial, it does not mean only the contact person can use JET File in your office.
About lien claimants:
Q: I filed some liens months ago, and have yet to receive any notices. The district office told me the liens haven't been processed yet. Can I re-file them using JET File?
A: No, because that would result in duplicate filing. It would be time-consuming for the district offices to go through their files to find unprocessed forms. Consider that since JET File bypasses the paper queue, it will allow the district offices to catch up on their backlog, and process your paperwork faster. You can file new liens using JET File.
Q: My office uses EDEX to monitor case events. Will JET File tell me this information as well?
A: No. JET File is strictly for filing, and you will not be able to see case events or the case file.
About third party filers:
Q: I'm considering using a third party filer for a massive pile of DORs. How does the process work?
A: Select an authorized third party filer from the list of approved TPFs. The TPF will provide you with an authorization form wherein you allow the TPF to file on your behalf; sign to show that you have reviewed the trading partner agreement.
Q: If I use a third party filer to JET File, will I always have to use JET File after that?
A: No. You have the option of filing your own forms by OCR or e-forms.
About building a transmission method:
Q: I want to build my own transmission method. How do I get started?
A: The first step is to develop an XML transmission code using specifications published by DWC. When your code is finished, you will need to conduct testing to make sure that transmissions will be received by DWC. Appointments for testing can be scheduled by emailing email@example.com. When your software has been validated through testing with DWC you then fill out and submit the Excel spreadsheet portion of the trading partner agreement. There is a developer check list on the "JET File information for developers" Web page that goes into more detail.
Q: I'm a software developer. How do I become an approved vendor?
A: Developers who want to create and market products for use with JET File are required to read and follow all applicable business rules, including the JET File trading partner agreement, and pass testing in order to be listed as approved vendors by DWC. See the "JET File information for developers" Web page for the testing schedule.
Web site changes
There's a new JET File developer page that shows step-by-step how to build a transmission method. It also includes the validation testing schedule for September and November.
E-forms trial update
JET File is great for large-volume filers, and smaller volume filers have an ideally suited electronic filing method in e-forms. It's easy to sign up: Print out the e-forms trial agreement, fill it out and sign it, and then scan it before sending it to firstname.lastname@example.com. There is a waiting list, so allow up to two months to start e-filing.

Barbara Rowley is the 2012 Mom Congress Delegate for Montana. Barbara is a journalist by trade, but circumstances have also made her an entrepreneurial volunteer—a job that takes up way more of her time. In Barbara's small and relatively new town she's had to create or invent what her kids need if any kids were going to have it—whether that meant a high school, a preschool, a summer camp program, a school newspaper or a kids musical theater.
What book is currently on your nightstand? The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
One thing that is going great in education in your state: Montana's schools have the dual advantage (and disadvantage) of small schools and little diversity. It makes providing services (and courses) for the whole spectrum difficult and sometimes impossible.
One thing you wish could be improved in education in your state: State funded preschool.
Your favorite teacher (and why): Linda Solomon at Washington University. She was the college dean who shamed me into spelling correctly and learning where to put an apostrophe by marking up my paper in a sea of red. I'm sorry to say there wasn't a teacher before her who called me on these sloppy habits or who made nearly the impact that she did.
Secret indulgence: Watching soap opera dramas like Grey's Anatomy and Revenge on my computer late at night when everyone else is asleep. But this is secret: Don't tell everyone! My family doesn't watch a lick of television.
Your hero: My husband. Really, he is.
Favorite quote: "I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." – Lewis Carroll
Most rewarding/challenging stage of parenthood thus far (and why): I found the baby stage the most challenging, simply because of the physical demands and sleep deprivation that accompanied those years. I feared tweens and teenagers because people told me such horror stories, but I find my girls more interesting and more engaged with us than ever. That doesn't mean it is the easiest: You really have to pay attention all the time at this age, because they can tell when you aren't, unlike a toddler or a little kid—and they call you on it.
Favorite family tradition: Decorating a tree for the birds at Christmas, Returning to the same forest service mountain cabin in July, putting out photos of all previous birthdays on our birthdays, growing our own Easter baskets
Favorite family activities: Downhill skiing, rafting, hiking; reading, gardening, listening to NPR, crafts in the kitchen, audiobooks and podcasts, drawing, singing, having tea parties everyday after school, taking our dogs for a walk around the neighborhood, exploring our backyard swamp, writing with chalk on the driveway, blowing bubbles—even as middle and high schoolers.

Another September Dress (Burda 9/2010 No.122)
Added Feb 17, 2011
Courtown Harbour...
This is a very popular dress from the cover of September 2010 Burda magazine. I fell in love with it from the first sight, but only got to making it last month. The pattern looked complicated, but all parts came together perfectly, like a puzzle. The only note I would have for those who want to make this dress- if you are narrow-topped (like me) you will need to reduce the neckline width on both back and the front. I narrowed the back part, but not the front, and it ended up sticking out, so I had to cheat a bit, making pleats and adding a covered button, which now I simply love- it added a cute touch to the dress, I think. I used Perfect Curved Seams technique when making this dress. Also I didn't really like the panels, so I added a narrow 3/4 sleeve, which made it much more practical to wear all year round in Irish cool climate

At work, just for training purposes we set up a simple office network.
We have a server running Windows Server 2003.
We have 15 workstations running Windows XP. These workstations
are connected to a Catalyst 1900 switch via CAT 5 and the switch is
connected to the server via CAT 5 cable as well.
Everything was working smoothly, the users we created were able to log on
to our training domain.
We decided to change the IP address of the server to see what would happen.
We found that some users are able to log in with no problem.
Some users were able to log on but their mapped drives failed.
Some users can't log on at all.
So that's the scenario we got so far.
The question is how do we clear the DNS cache of all the old name-to-IP address
mappings on the clients workstation? (If that is the solution to our problem).

Cardiff scientists make hydrocarbon breakthrough using gold catalyst
Researchers from Cardiff University are opening up a new way of using hydrocarbon feedstocks to make a range of valuable products. Hydrocarbons are an extremely important energy resource but, although widely available from fossil fuels, are extremely difficult to activate and require very high temperatures in current industrial processes.
For the first time, the Cardiff study has shown that the primary carbon-hydrogen bonds in toluene, a hydrocarbon widely used as an industrial material, can be activated selectively at low temperatures.
Professor Graham Hutchings FRS, one of the study's co-authors and Cardiff University's Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research, said: "One of the key challenges facing chemists today is to activate primary carbon-hydrogen bonds in hydrocarbons to make more valuable and reactive molecules. This is crucial for the sustainable exploitation of available industrial feedstocks.
"Our research resulted in unprecedented yields of a single product of over 90%. We achieved this using a gold catalyst, an unexpected result as gold is the most noble of the elements."
This opens up the possibility of using hydrocarbon feedstocks in a new way to form intermediates and final products for use in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural business sectors.
The research was carried out by a large team at the Cardiff Catalysis Institute, in collaboration with researchers at Lehigh University, Pennsylvania. It was funded by a major research grant won by Cardiff University's School of Chemistry in 2008, when it was selected from hundreds of international bids as part of the Dow Methane Challenge.
The challenge was initiated by the Dow Chemical Company to identify collaborators and approaches in the area of methane conversion to chemicals.

With a performance style that morphs Al Jolson with Judy Garland, Broadway singer/Hollywood actor Mandy Patinkin stakes a singular claim on a patch of showbiz territory that makes him seem at once anachronistic and entirely novel. His voice dropping to a low baritone or swooping to high tenor, Patinkin delivers his mix of Tin Pan Alley, Sondheim and Harry Chapin with an emotionalism that has won him a devoted following. Newcomers to the Patinkin style might well find it off-putting initially, but as his Broadway benefit stand makes clear, the singer can certainly win over a crowd.
An offbeat song selection that further serves the singer's sentimental leanings (he pairs "School Days" — as in "dear old golden-rule days" — with Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle") combines with an easygoing but comically bristly rapport with his audience to make a Patinkin performance seem just shy of eccentric. If he occasionally crosses the coy line (singing "A-Tisket A-Tasket" as a little girl) or goes on a bit too long with audience-participation shtick, he delivers when it counts: Sondheim's "Not a Day Goes By" and the Hammerstein-Rodgers "If I Loved You" from "Carousel."
At times, a Patinkin concert can seem like a musicology lesson, albeit an amusing one, as the singer, dressed in casual black and sporting running shoes, delves into the history of popular song, from Yiddish Theater trinkets ("Sam, You Made the Pants Too Long") through Tin Pan Alley chestnuts ("The Band Played On"), recent Broadway (a number from "Evita") and the odd Top 40 hit (Chapin's "Taxi"). Backed only by the piano accompaniment of Paul Ford, he wraps all the songs in an emotionally charged melodrama that works because of his undeniable vocal talent and an unspoken link to a showbiz tradition that is all but absent from today's stage (Liza Minnelli might be his female equivalent, though of more limited vocal ability).
Patinkin certainly can be self-indulgent, both in his performing and his sometimes long-winded chats with the audience. (He complained of vocal stress at the reviewed performance, which might have prompted more rest-giving between-song patter than usual.) Still, his barbed wit — he stopped a song to say "gesundheit" after a very loud sneeze from the audience — is a nice balance to the more emotional extremes of his performing style.
What's most surprising, though, is how effective his emotionalism can be. Few performers could get away with the pathos that Patinkin wrings from these songs, but, virtually daring his audience not to be moved, get away with it he does.
For the record, all profits from this 14-performance Broadway engagement will be donated by Patinkin and producer Dodger Endemol Theatricals to five charities: the Assn. to Benefit Children, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, the National Dance Institute, Peace Now and Physicians for Human Rights.

Welcome to winter.
The direction of the wind is a determining factor as to changing weather conditions.
In my younger days, our grandfather would ask us to "check that thar weather vane" on top of the house. As noted in a previous column, where many weathervanes on barns and towers included animals, birds and other objects, our weather vane was a simple, four-point directional vane connected to a lightning rod.
Once we would report to him where the arrow was pointing, he'd make his weather prediction. Winds from the south noted a warm-up and if the vane was pointing south, cold.
Today is St. Thomas Day, and weather tradition states that "in which quarter the wind lies, it will keep blowing from that direction for three months."

STATEWIDE - The intensity of a landfalling hurricane is expressed in terms of categories that relate wind speeds and potential damage.
According to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, a Category 1 hurricane has lighter winds compared to storms in higher categories. A Category 4 hurricane would have winds between 131 and 155 mph and, on the average, would usually be expected to cause 100 times the damage of the Category 1 storm. Depending on circumstances, less intense storms may still be strong enough to produce damage, particularly in areas that have not prepared in advance.
Tropical storm-force winds are dangerous to those caught in them. For this reason, emergency managers plan on having their evacuations complete and their personnel sheltered before the onset of tropical storm winds, not hurricane-force winds.
Hurricane-force winds can easily destroy poorly constructed buildings and mobile homes. Debris such as signs, roofing material, and small items left outside become flying missiles in hurricanes. Extensive damage to trees, towers, water and underground utility lines (from uprooted trees), and fallen poles cause considerable disruption.
High-rise buildings are also vulnerable to hurricane-force winds, particularly at the higher levels since wind speed tends to increase with height. Recent research suggests you should stay below the tenth floor, but still above any floors at risk for flooding. It is not uncommon for high-rise buildings to suffer a great deal of damage due to windows being blown out. Consequently, the areas around these buildings can be very dangerous.
The strongest winds usually occur in the right side of the eyewall of the hurricane. Wind speed usually decreases significantly within 12 hours after landfall. Nonetheless, winds can stay above hurricane strength well inland. Hurricane Hugo (1989), for example, battered Charlotte, North Carolina (which is 175 miles inland) with wind gusts to nearly 100 mph.
