Report: Nixon Proposing More for Children's Agency
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Gov. Jay Nixon is expected to propose a $6 million increase for the agency overseeing Missouri's foster care system.
The Springfield News-Leader reported Wednesday that it obtained a document from Children's Division Director Tim Decker saying Nixon will propose "significant resources" for the division in his 2015 budget.
The document cites a proposal for $1 million to hire 23 investigators and case workers for the division, $1.5 million for computer upgrades and $2.3 million for staff to advance in their pay scales. More than $1 million also would go toward a combination of training and loan forgiveness programs to prevent staff turnover.
The News-Leader and The Kansas City Star both have reported that some Children's Division offices have been plagued by high staff turnover.

Your Tell Tale Heartbeat Might Soon Be Your Password
Right now, passwords are the most widely used means to keep your information – and your mobile devices – secure. Biometrics offer a tantalizing alternative: securing your information with a unique aspect of your body, like a fingerprint or retina scan. The company Bionym has a similar idea, except their system uses your heartbeat as a password.
Called HeartID, it's the creation of Foteini Agrafioti and Karl Martin. They completed their PhDs at University of Toronto in 2011 and 2010, repectively. As the name implies, HeartID reads individuals' unique cardiac rhythm and is reportedly 99% accurate.
"We're looking to make user authentication completely seamless so that a person can simply pick up their mobile device and it continuously authenticates them and provides access as long as they are holding it," Martin, CEO of HeartID, told SecurityWatch.
There are numerous advantages to cardiac sensing as a means of biometric security. For one, it's difficult to copy – unlike a fingerprint. For another, it doesn't require awkward scanning, instead relying on simple touch sensors. Devices such as smartphones, tablets, and gaming devices can have sensors electrodes (simple metal contact points) embedded in the case in locations the user would normally be touching during normal operations, Martin said.
Fingerprint readers are traditionally awkward to use on mobile devices and facial recognition requires the user to careful align themselves into the camera's focus area.
This "passive" means of identification means that a HeartID device could constantly and automatically confirm who was using it. This is markedly different from other security methods which can be abused. For instance, if you enter a password into a computer and then step away for a few moments, someone else can come along and take it over. With cardiac sensing, the device can lock itself or change user information as soon as another individual touches it.
"Imagine passing your tablet or gaming controller to different members of your family and it will seamlessly and automatically load their accounts and preferences," Martin said.
HeartID is currently working with the enterprise, military, and healthcare sectors. Martin said HeartID-enabled smart-cards for high-security access control would be available before the end of 2013.
While some biometric systems have made it to the consumer level, they've never achieved widespread use. HeartID is currently forming partnerships to embed HeartID into a variety of consumer devices, but "due to the long timelines associated with hardware development," HeartID on consumer devices it still more than a year away, Martin said.
Perhaps HeartID, with its passive system, can finally bring a higher level of security to a wider array of devices.

These squidgy gel pads from Bike Ribbon are a simple way to reduce fatigue and numb hands on long rides.
They come in three different flavours: soft (as tested) super-soft and firm.
You get four bits: two straights for the drops and two curved pieces for the tops. The gel has a bobbly surface which allows more movement and hence cushioning effect. You can also trim them to size by snipping off the end bits.
Fitting is dead easy, unwrap bar tape, peel backing off pads, stick to bars, re-wrap tape. The pads are quite chunky, but once wrapped under tape they add less bulk than you might expect. I fitted them to a set of oversized aluminium FSA bars, which are as fat as they come, and had no problems, although a rider with small hands might find the same bars/pad set-up a little sausagey.
There's enough pad to cover the tops and the drops. I fitted them to just one side of my bars and took off on a 200k audax across rough Devon roads. There's a noticeable difference, the pads absorb vibrations from crappy surfaces and keep your arms and upper body feeling just that little bit fresher. Racers might find that they deaden feel slightly but that's not such a big deal for randonneurs and there are firmer compounds available.
£17 for a few bits of space jibble might seem like a lot but extra comfort is worth paying for if you suffer from numb hands or want to reduce fatigue on long rides.
Cost effective plushness upgrade for your hands.

My parents' old...
Of all the cars your dad or mom owned, what's the one you would love to find and restore in 2011, even it wasn't exactly classic or historic?
For me, it would be my dad's 1972 Mercury Montego MX. It was green-gold metallic with a white vinyl roof, dark forest green vinyl interior, 351 Windsor under the hood with a C4 automatic. Dad had it for almost exactly 7 years (March 3 1972 to March 1 1979), rang up over 210,000 miles (2nd engine, 2nd transmission at the time of trade-in), and even saw duty as an unmarked police car when Dad became a cop in 76... my sister and I even got him the suction-cup cigarette-lighter revolving red light for Christmas one year, and he did get to use it.
That car took everything Dad dished out and then some. To his surprise, he even saw it on the street about a month after he traded it... was easy to tell it was his from the huge aftermarket bumper guards.
Anyone else?
kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host
Oh sure, my dad's '53 blue Buick. He liked to beat Caddy's off the line at the stop light.
Although if I found it and restored it, I'd probably hate driving it. Maybe mom's '65 Ford Galaxie 500 would be more fun.0
fintail Posts: 48,571I was born right around the time Jimmy Carter became president...so my parents didn't have any real cool cars.
Bloated T-Bird? Pass. Ciera? Pass. Tempo? Pass. A few Taurus? Pass. S-10 Blazer? Pass a billion times. And the list goes on.
But my dad liked to have a hobby car, and for a few years had a 60 Ford Country Sedan, red and white on red and white. It was the coolest old car, sadly, he sold it on a whim (sold within hours of being on offer) and I never saw it again. It could be a cool cruiser.0
Although if I found it and restored it, I'd probably hate driving it.
Yes, I have the same fear. When I was too young to really remember it my parents had a '51 Studebaker Commander 4-door. I wouldn't mind having it, but would probably hate driving it. Another example was their '64 Rambler Classic V-8. I learned to drive on that one, and loved it at the time because its 3-speed auto allowed it to outdrag Powerglide Chevys from stoplights. If I drove it now, I would probably think it was a tank. One that I really would like to find, however, is their light blue '68 Volvo 122S with the black interior. I even liked the bread van shifter in that one. If I found it and restored it however, I would add overdrive.
2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])0
I do have one. It's his Baby Blue 1966 VW Fastback. I would love to own that car now. 4-speeds on the floor that IIRC (which I probably don't) shifted fairly easily. I totalled the car once frolicking in the snow. I ran it into a large landscaping rock. I cut my wrist and my friend and I both bumped our heads on that blunder. Apparently Dad loved that car, too, because he went to the expense of getting it fixed. And no, it wasn't cheap to fix!
This was the one I learned to drive manual tranny on, too. Great rig! :shades:

You know, your reference to the accident in your father's VW fastback reminds me that I had a somewhat similar one in the Volvo I described above. A friend of mine and I were blasting down a dirt road toward a curve and a kid coming in the other direction in a '59 Ford crossed into our lane and hit us more or less head on. Being a Volvo it had shoulder harnesses, and despite being stupid kids we were wearing them. It almost certainly saved our lives. Like your father, mine had his fixed. I do believe that incident is one of the reasons I would love to find it and restore it.
2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])0
right on! I was actually really impressed by how well the '66 VW Fastback protected both us punky 16 y/o's. I was playing in the snow...doing donuts and then I spun out and headed towards an open spot in the furniture store parking lot at Perrinville, WA. Perrinville is just north of Lynnwood, WA, about 15 miles north of Seattle, where I grew up. I actually grew up in Edmonds, WA, which harbors a Washington State ferryboat route that runs from Edmonds to Kingston. One day I might want to return to my homeland. I'm living in northern Idaho right now-about 311 miles east of Seattle, so really not all that far from the homeland.
But when I came out of that last donut I gunned the gas pedal and told my friend "watch this!" I headed straight for an open spot of the lot, then realized I was heading towards doom-dome and hit my brakes of all things! Dumber than a sack of glazed donuts!
BAM! We hit that large boulder and tried to climb up it all at one time. Broke the VW's horn off the steering wheel and cut my wrist with it. It was spurting blood out at a pretty good clip. I pinched the wound shut but my friend was afraid I was going to bleed out so he took off his white t-shirt and I tied it around as a tourniquet over my wrist. We hit our heads enough to leave small bumps, too. A lot of people now would go to a nearby ER to get checked out but we figured we'd better not push our luck.
Here's the kicker...Dad just had it towed to a body shop and had the front end fixed-I think the bill came to around $1,500-$1,750. He never chewed me out-not even a little "what were you thinking" line, or anything! I could not believe it!
Not that I felt good about it. Dad evidently had his own story from being in the service and buying an Anglia or something...a small sporty car...he bought it with his buddy and later wrecked it over in Europe before he could ship it back here. I think he felt that my wreck at 16 years of age too closely mirrored his in foolishness and he cut me some slack.
Or he was just simply too busy at that particular time to chew me out about the stupid wreck...which might be closer to the truth.
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed0
Small world. I grew up in Bothell, about 10 miles south of Lynwood. Another coincidence is that my father didn't chew me out either. I never heard any Anglia-equivalent stories but it does make me wonder.

lemko Philadelphia, PAPosts: 15,306...my Dad had several really cool cars when I was little, but I'd love to find and restore his 1961 Chevrolet Biscayne 2-door sedan as it was the first car of his I remember. It was sort of a cream color with a gray cloth and vinyl interior. It was powered by a 250 cid inline 6-cylinder mated to a three-speed manual shifted via the column. Dad's car was a bit dressed-up for a Biscayne as it sported the nice '61 Chevrolet full-wheel discs and whitewall tires.
Two other strong contenders would be his maroon 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible and his 1955 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Starfire convertible.0
hpmctorque Posts: 4,600That '53 Buick must have had a manual transmission, because it's difficult to imagine a Dynaflow equipped car out accelerating a 4-speed Hydra-matic equipped one off the line.0
It was an automatic.
Family legends don't lie. :shades:
(Dad also told me that he put molasses in his bike tires since he couldn't afford patches, and was the high school quarterback and then put on his drum major uniform and led the band at half-time).0
slorenzen Posts: 694it was his LAST car, unfortunately.
He used to buy a car every couple years, and put the replacement into the "pool" for the kids to use (there were 8 kids).
He LOVED that car! Amazing power, 375 HP. He and I drove from Incline Village to Walnut Creek back in the day, and did it in 21/2 hours...
I never told mom...0
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 20,225Lemko, that '61 Chevy actually had a 235 one of Chevy's best engines ever. 1962 would be it's final year.
My parents had a 1951 Buick Roadmaster that I would love to have. It was huge, very strong and powerful. No power steering so I don't know how my petite mother ever managed.
My dad's 1962 Volkswagen bug was another one I would love to have.
I've (knock on wood) never put a dent on any car but I nearly hit a pole one night in that VW. We were down on the docks in San Pedro CA where I grew up when we spotted a wharf rat the size of a tomcat. I was determined to run it over and I chased it all over with the VW.
My buddy screamed out STOP and I stopped with my front bumper about three inches from a huge pole.
The rat escaped to live another day.0
nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,726had a brown 1970 Citroen DS for a couple of years, and I remember taking rides out into the country on Sundays with the whole family in that thing.
It was by far the most stylish car I can recall my folks ever owning - excepting the '98 Explorer of course! :-P
I sure wouldn't mind tracking it down and owning it today - if I managed to restore it, it could be my Sunday driver again, a mere 40ish years later!
That Citroen was a car that still looks beautiful to my eye today, and of course it was a standout for being one of the first cars to have Bosch fuel injection. In an age today when almost nothing automotive looks very good or distinctive in much of a way (IMHO) except for retro-styled models, that Citroen would catch a few eyes I think if I were to drive around town in it now.
I don't remember it giving my dad a lot of mechanical trouble - certainly it never stranded us when I was riding in it - but in 1975 he sold it when we moved to the U.S.
My dad also had a '75 Westfalia (pop-up top, fold-out bed and built-in fridge and all), which was mechanically and structurally the biggest POS they ever owned by a factor of 10, but still has a certain styling distinction to it that would pique my interest if I had the chance to own it today. As unreliable, underpowered, and tipsy as all the Westys were for all the years they sold them in the States, I can still understand why their cult following is so devoted to them.

Sensible shoes
Flat smoking slippers in velvet or satin and wedge sneakers with studs and straps overtook sky-high platforms in the fashionable footwear race.
Artful nails
Whether it was tiny Union Jacks, tuxedos, stripes, crystal flowers or caviar pearls, nail art went from the subculture sidelines to becoming an everyday indulgence, and not just for flamboyant pop stars like Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga. The boom was due in part to nail technology advances, including new, easy-to-apply nail decals and gel-color manicures, which allow for long-lasting decoration, including gradated glitter and stripes, as well as crystal and charm appliques.
Crop tops
When Gwyneth Paltrow exposed her tanned tummy in a two-piece Emilio Pucci ensemble at the Emmys in September 2011, she was on to something. The midriff-baring trend, borrowed from the 1980s, has been gaining steam all year, with Hollywood's resident exhibitionists (Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus) racing to uncover. Crop tops were all over the fashion runways in September and October, seen at Balmain, Balenciaga and elsewhere, so don't expect this trend to go away anytime soon.
Barely there
Hollywood stars also played peekaboo by wearing gowns with sheer panels and cutouts, none more so than Kristen Stewart, who turned heads at the L.A. premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2" in a sheer corseted Zuhair Murad gown and wore several more nearly nude looks while promoting the film in the following weeks. The sheer trend has translated to the street in more subtle forms, among them sheer chiffon shirts and sleeves.
The year was so bright, you had to wear shades. Hot-hued jeans, Cambridge Satchel bags and nail polish were among the most popular traffic-stopping items.
Prints charming
Fashion magazines advised readers on how to mismatch prints, and blue jeans were covered in a riot of pattern and color. Designers put their best prints forward, with florals, foliage, paisleys, plaids, houndstooth checks and photo-realistic effects, all in an effort to stand out from the pack.
Creature features
Wise owls, furry foxes and dashing dogs were among the cutesy creatures taking center stage on the fronts of sweaters and shirts by Burberry, J. Crew and Tory Burch. We're still waiting for a sweater featuring Karl Lagerfeld's beloved cat Choupette — who garnered many fashion headlines this year with her adorable antics and pampered lifestyle.
Leather and lace
Naughty and nice, leather and lace were both big trends, even better when worn together. We shopped for leather motorcycle jackets and pants, which were available everywhere from Proenza Schouler to Forever 21, and lacy T-shirts, sweat shirts, blouses and tops. It was all about mixing hard and soft.
Tomboy chic
Lizzie Garrett Mettler's "Tomboy Style" book, which came out in April, documented 80 years of women who blurred the gender lines. It was perfect timing, with designers showing gender-bending styles on the runways for fall, fictional action heroines like Lisbeth Salander and Katniss Everdeen hitting the big screen, and women borrowing style from the boys, including lace-up oxford shoes, tuxedos and fedoras.
Facial fuzz
From the malls to the multiplex, it was a banner year for the beard and mustache bunch and the companies that cater to them. Men's grooming became one of the fastest-growing segments in the beauty business. Gillette launched a grooming gadget called the Fusion ProGlide Styler and enlisted a trio of celebrities — André 3000 Benjamin, Gael García Bernal and Adrien Brody — as pitchmen. Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" served up more chin whiskers than that of all the previous year's movies combined.
Creeping Ivy
Preppy's progenitor — Ivy League style — crept back into American men's wardrobes this year. It was found on the runway, where J. Press showcased a new back-to-the-Ivy-roots York Street capsule collection designed by Ariel and Shimon Ovadia. And it was featured in books and museum exhibitions, specifically the Museum at FIT's "Ivy Style" exhibition in New York City.

Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Caring for the Community
Video Summary: For students in Debbie Lerner's multiage classroom, the remodeling of their school is an opportunity to learn how individuals can contribute to a community project. In this lesson, students learn where funding for such a project comes from, discuss the procedures involved in planning and executing a school remodeling project, identify the resources necessary to complete the job, and research ways they can help with the effort. In addition, Ms. Lerner uses the school's building project to teach concepts like cooperation, and to encourage students to become active members of their school community.
Ms. Lerner invites the district superintendent to visit the class and talk to students about the remodeling project, tell them what they can do to help, and answer any questions they have. Then students work in groups to plan their contribution to the project: packing up their classroom before the remodeling begins. They also prepare speeches and make posters to enlist the help of students in other classrooms. By inviting guest speakers to their class, forming planning committees, and recruiting their schoolmates to help, Ms. Lerner's students become active participants in a community project.

A-Rod appears, but return no more certain
Veteran slugger reveals little in first interview with media since postseason
NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez reappeared on Monday. He did not bring much information with him.
A-Rod is rehabilitating from left hip surgery and was last seen with the team during Game 4 of the Yankees' 2012 American League Championship Series sweep at the hands of the Detroit Tigers.
Rodriguez said on one occasion that his recovery was "going well," and to a similar question, he replied that it was "going very well." But he declined to go into any specifics regarding a target date for his return as a player, other than saying that he planned on playing at some point this season.
"You've heard the same dates I've heard," Rodriguez said. "Right now, I can tell you things are going well. I think this year is a very special opportunity. This is my 10th year here in New York, and it's the first time we're being predicted to finish in last place. That's exciting. It's a year of opportunity for our team, a year of opportunity for me. I love when people say, 'You can't do this, you can't do that, you're old.' I find it a great challenge."
Asked about what level he expected to be playing at upon his return, Rodriguez responded:
"I think it can be very high. When I found out after the season was over about the big tear in my left hip, it was a bit of a relief to realize and understand what happened at the end of last year. I was able to go in and fix it and rehab. I think once I'm mended and back to being 100 percent, there's no reason why I can't play at a very high level."
Asked if he regretted not getting the hip checked out sooner, Rodriguez replied:
"Hindsight is always 20/20. If I would have, we would have never had that very tough ending, for sure. Live and learn."
The problem for the Yankees in this case is not only the absence of Rodriguez but the external circumstances surrounding it. He has been named as a customer of the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in Coral Gables, Fla., by the Miami New Times. It has been alleged that a number of baseball players, including Rodriguez, have received performance-enhancing substances from the clinic. These substances have been banned by Major League Baseball.
A-Rod was asked a pointed question about MLB's probe of Biogenesis to the effect that the investigation may be targeting "big names," most prominently Rodriguez and Ryan Braun of the Brewers. If players are found to have used the banned substances in question, they would be subject to 50-game suspensions.
"I'm not going to further discuss this," Rodriguez said. "At some point, I feel that everything will be good."
This session with reporters was being held just outside the home clubhouse at Yankee Stadium, prior to Monday's Opening Day game with the Boston Red Sox. After the Biogenesis question, Rodriguez said: "Thanks," turned and went back into the clubhouse, thus unilaterally ending the media session.
Rodriguez, who is nearing age 38, is under contract with the Yankees for five more seasons, including this one. Under the terms of this contract, the Yankees owe A-Rod $114 million, $29 million of which is due this year. He was asked about the possibility that the Yankees would attempt to void his contract if the Biogenesis charges prove true.
"Again, I don't want to look into that," Rodriguez said. "I want to really focus on this great Opening Day and the great game of baseball, and the great season that the Yankees are hopefully going to have."
The Yankees, of course, would like to focus on the great game of baseball as well. They have not been aided much in this task lately by their third baseman. He is, once again, unavailable due to injury, and he is simultaneously the center of controversy. Given an opportunity to address these issues on Monday, Rodriguez did not respond with answers that were informative, or for that matter, useful.

Intelligent control systems for crawler crane operation
The crawler crane is equipped with the latest generation of CANBUS-based control system software. This inhouse development from Liebherr is designed for tough construction site conditions, even under extreme temperatures. The respective crane configuration can be preselected with ease on the touchscreen in the cab.
Numerous control functions for the crane operator
The electronic control system comprises numerous technical innovations that make handling of the crane considerably easier for the operator.
The display for control of the crane is clearly laid out. This means that the operator is provided with better orientation and thereby greater user-friendliness. Monitoring and display of all sensors is likewise controlled by the electronics. Error messages are shown to the operator directly on the screen.
Overload protection for maximum capacity utilisation
The load torque limiter (LMB), which is installed as standard, automatically calculates the loads during operation and, in this way, ensures optimum utilisation of the equipment. As the only system on the market, this concept works without storing load charts or interpolating intermediate values. This is important mainly on smaller crawler cranes as these are used with a high degree of flexibility and the configuration is ever-changing. The benefit to the user is even better exploitation of the equipment including construction site conditions with atypical reaches or crane positions.
Clever control functions
For different deployment scenarios, Liebherr has developed a series of intelligent control options.
"Vertical Line Finder" for maximum safety
This optional control aid indicates the exact vertical cable position on the display before the load is lifted. This prevents swinging of the load, minimises the risk of damage and contributes towards safety on the construction site.
Precise load transport
The horizontal load path option ensures safe and precise lifting of the load on the same (horizontal) plane. This function can be switched on or off by the crane operator as required.
User-friendly display
All operating data of the equipment as well as warnings or possible error messages are shown to the operator on a colour display with rich contrast. The respective crane configuration can be selected with ease on the touchscreen.

Gender & Employment
The Rights of Employment Between the Sexes
Women discovered that different rules applied to them than to men. Whereas the marital status of men was not a factor in whether or not they kept their jobs, women could lose their employee status if they married. In some cases, they were ineligible for jobs if they were female.
Rules could be bent, however, and during wartime in the city at large, women were hired for some male jobs by necessity. The 1919 Annual Report of the Labor Commissioner stated, ". . . as war conditions necessarily demanded replacement of men by women workers on certain factory work, the transition was welcomed by latter as it incidentally offered more freedom from restraint usually imposed by duties and environment of domestic employment. .. " As men returned they wanted their jobs back. "While the services of women were very satisfactory in connection with their employment as elevator operators, factory workers and kitchen and dining room workers in mill and camp commissaries, there is a growing sentiment in alignment with the present unemployment status which will undoubtedly serve to hasten adjustment . . . in the conflict of rights of employment between the sexes."
Some positions were simply not open to women. Civil Service Commission minutes record some of the appeals by women regarding their classifications. In 1936, Gertrude Gillmer filed an objection with the Commission because she was unable to secure employment as an Electrical Appliance Salesman with Seattle City Light. Before coming to the Commission she spoke with City Light Superintendent J.D. Ross and the City Light sales manager, P.C. Spowart, but was unable to change their views. Spowart testified in September at the Commission hearing, stating that women did not have the necessary knowledge, could not do heavy work and that there were no women's restrooms in the branch offices. Spowart stated:
"While women workers in general are often more efficient in the technique of a certain task then men, it has been demonstrated over and over again in the industry that they do not get the broad over-all knowledge of the system so necessary in earning the respect of the public through service contracts . . . Years of experience have proved that men employed as appliance salesmen give the department many advantages that the use of women does not afford. Men are more versatile and flexible for utility sales work . . . it is our opinion that men should be selected whenever possible in order that the best interest of the customers of City Light shall stand above those of the job-holder. After all, we are the servants of the people."
In October, the Commission denied Gillmer's request, stating that City Light's decision was "not arbitrary nor capricious, [and] that no personal element had entered into the matter."
In other positions, permission was given to request females. In December, 1936 the Civil Service Commission "approved the specification of sex in connection with request of the Lighting Department for one female Clerk-Stenographer for temporary work in the general office; and also, in the case of request of Engineering Department for six female Typists for work at the Testing Station."
Summer positions as lifeguards at beaches in the City were traditionally held by males. Describing lifeguards in 1919, the superintendent of the Parks Department stated, "For guards we employ young men whose ages range from twenty to about thirty years. The only requirements are a good character, first class swimming and ability to handle a boat."
During World War II, the Parks Department was short of lifeguards. Three women applied for lifeguard jobs in 1941. The first to apply was Alice Powell, the daughter of City Council member Mildred Powell. She was a lifeguard at the Campfire summer camp Camp Sealth and was a lifeguard at the Whitman College pool where she was in school. Powell said, "I think women are just as capable as men at handling this sort of a job. A well-trained woman lifeguard is just as good at rescue work and when it comes to handling children and beach patrol, women are more conscientious and probably can do the job a little better." A Seattle Post-Intelligencer article dated August 2, 1941 was titled "Women Seek Lifeguard Posts Despite Park Board Coolness."
Theresa Follette, another interested applicant stated, "Rescue work is not a question of strength but rather of swimming skill and life-saving training." None of the women who applied were hired. In August 1941, Theresa Follette filed a protest with the Board of Park Commissioners "about discrimination against women lifeguards." The matter was referred to the Recreation Director for a reply; no reply is found in the records. Grace Wahlborg and Helen Michel applied for lifeguard positions in 1942. A Parks Department list of those employed at beaches and pools 17 years later listed no women in lifeguard positions.
Women and the Trades
The 1964 federal Civil Rights Act prohibited employment discrimination based on either race or gender. The legislation allowed women to work in traditionally male jobs, but women found it difficult to be accepted in those jobs. Translating legislation to action meant that many women had to work in unfriendly environments, blazing the way for women who came after them.
City Light first established an apprenticeship program for linemen in 1957, and standards for the program were approved. These positions required a higher degree of training and offered higher pay than some of the other trades jobs. In part because of this, the linemen positions were especially difficult for women to break into.
City Light had one of the first trainee programs in the country for women in the electrical trades. In an effort to increase the number of women and minorities at Seattle City Light, Superintendent Gordon Vickery hired Clara Fraser in 1973 to initiate an Electrical Trades Trainee program for women and minorities.She was fired in 1975, supposedly as part of a budget cut. Fraser filed suit with the City for wrongful termination. Many saw her case as one fought for all other women at City Light. In 1982 she was awarded damages, reinstatement and seven years' back pay. When she retired in 1986, then City Light Superintendent Randall Hardy called her the utility's "institutionalized conscience." Fraser died in 1998. Her book, Revolution, She Wrote, a collection of her columns, speeches, and other writings, was published the same year.Ten women were selected from over 200 applicants for the first Seattle City Light trainee program. But many of the ten women who entered the program in 1974 filed grievances stating they were discouraged from completing the program. The women won their discrimination suit and were awarded back pay, benefits and damages. Of the ten original trainees from 1974, seven were still with City Light as of 1999.In the first seven years that a lineman-apprenticeship training program was offered by City Light, Teri Bach was the only woman to graduate. Like Bonnie Beers in the Fire Department, she met resistance. She told the Seattle Times "there is no way to prove yourself except by changing your sex." The complaints of harassment continued into the mid-1980s. In 1986, line worker Sherrie Holmes filed a complaint that a male co-worker unhooked her safety strap and tried to pull her from the top of a 30-foot pole. Other complaints by women included finding their safety straps undone, heavy objects dropping near their heads, and electrifying of lines on which they were working.
In 1981, the City's Affirmative Action Task Force assigned "target" status to City light for the next four years, indicating the department had not adequately met its goals of hiring women and minorities. One of the issues City Light encountered in the early 1980s was that although goals for hiring women and minorities were close to being met, the rate at which women and minorities were resigning offset any progress. A 1984 report found an especially low success rate at hiring women and minorities in the apprentice programs.
Under the direction of Superintendent Randy Hardy, City Light started a pre-apprentice line workers program in 1988. A six-month program first attended by six women and six men, it was designed to prepare workers for the apprenticeship program. Three of the six women who attended are still with City Light. One of them, Nettie Dokes, became the first African American woman in the country to graduate as a journeyman level line worker in 1992. She became manager of the apprenticeship program for the City in 1997. As of 2004 she was on the Executive Board for the national organization Tradeswomen, Now and Tomorrow and was treasurer for Washington Women in Trades.
In July 2004, Dokes was a presenter at a Congressional luncheon sponsored by Senator Murray, Senator Snowe, and Senator Clinton. The Senators introduced a bipartisan Senate Resolution pledging to help more women obtain the skills they need in the skilled trades. Despite problems encountered by women in the first years of the program, in the 1990s, City Light claimed it had more women in the trades than any other electrical utility in the nation.
Organizations such as Washington Women in Trades, founded in 1978, helped women construct a network regarding employment in the trades and provided education and career opportunities in nontraditional trades work. The City of Seattle has participated in the annual Women in Trades Fair at the Seattle Center since the 1980s. The Seattle Jobs Initiative, founded in 1995, works with the Seattle City Office of Economic Development and local labor unions to link low income Seattle residents, people of color, and women to job opportunities in construction. As of 2000, however, only 4 percent of the workers in the skilled trades in Washington were women.
Equality for All?
The 1960s was an era of consciousness-raising across the nation, and equality issues for women were in the forefront. At the federal level, the Equal Pay Act (1963) provided for equal pay for men and women in jobs requiring equal skill, responsibility, and effort. In 1964 the Civil Rights Act was passed, prohibiting employment discrimination based on race or sex.
In Seattle, similar laws were initiated, although not until the next decade. The Affirmative Action ordinance was passed in 1972 providing for the implementation of programs in departments to achieve equality of City employment opportunities for minorities, women and people over age 40. The Fair Employment Ordinance was passed in 1973, requiring employers within the City of Seattle to give equal pay for equal work and to hire and promote women and minorities in a non-discriminatory manner. The Open Housing Ordinance was broadened in 1975, to prohibit discrimination against women and minorities in buying or renting apartments or houses, and in providing financing or credit information.In 1980, the Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) ordinance was passed in an attempt to ensure the equitable use of minority- and women-owned businesses in the City's contracting process. A goal of 3% participation for women's businesses in the City's contracting process was met in 1981. This ordinance followed an executive policy recommendation issued in 1977, which established a policy of using WMBEs but had no numerical goals or certification process. A Perkins Coie disparity study completed in 1994 demonstrated that the contracting process was not making equitable use of women- and minority-owned businesses.City Council members Sherry Harris and Jane Noland were instrumental in getting an amendment to the WMBE ordinance passed in 1994, providing for:
- Setting aside a percentage of City contracts for women and minorities
- Encouraging use of women- and minority-owned businesses in purchasing and non-professional services
- Setting targets for the overall level of participation by women- and minority-owned businesses on City contacts in a given year
In 1998, however, voters passed Washington State Initiative 200, prohibiting the imposition of goals, quotas, and set-asides in government hiring and contracting as well as university admissions. WMBE utilization declined by about a third as a result. The Mayor and City Council countered with a series of initiatives designed to increase WMBE participation in City contracting projects, despite I-200.
One person who worked on behalf of women was City Council member Jeanette Williams. Williams served from 1970 until 1989, and was on Council during the strife at City Light. She was a tireless advocate for women's rights, and was responsible for establishing the Women's Commission in 1971. On her election to City Council, she found that of the 10,228 city employees, only 1,565 were women and of these, just 26 were employed in a professional capacity. The Women's Commission worked to increase the number of women in professional positions and opened up Civil Service Commission testing and hiring for women in previously male-only positions.
Many ordinances relating to women were sponsored by the Human Resources and Judicial Committee which Williams chaired from 1970 to 1977. Williams worked on rape, abuse, and child care legislation and explored comparable worth issues. In Williams' speeches throughout the city, she urged women to become active because women need power to make changes. Her definition of power was "the ability to accomplish in your life what you want to get done."

In 1978 the Battered Women's Project was established, one of the nation's first programs to address domestic violence. City Attorney Doug Jewett initiated the program. Staff acted as advocates for abused women, making recommendations to the City prosecutor to file or not to file charges in specific cases. In the first two years of the program, 2500 domestic violence cases were handled. In 1984 a new State law mandated arrest of the batterer. This mandate was expanded in 1985 to include child abuse and the name was changed to the Family Violence Project. A 1989 study found that the program was severely underfunded; seven family violence advocates were assigned 6,943 cases in 1988.
Jane Noland and Tina Podlodowski also worked hard on solutions for domestic violence issues during their tenures on City Council. The City provided support and funding for domestic violence shelters and transition housing. Lesbian and gay issues were also addressed in the 1990s, partially through work done by the City's Commission on Lesbians and Gays, established in December 1989. In the early 1990s, the focus in domestic violence programs shifted to prevention and outreach programs and the City began working towards a regional plan with others in King County. A Domestic Violence Task Force was formed in 1993 to expand the City's efforts to implement comprehensive policies for intervention in domestic violence.
Many gains were made for women throughout the City in the 1980s and 1990s. The workplace remains a focus for improvement, despite affirmative action plans and comparable worth studies. The numbers of women working in the City do not necessarily reflect how hard women fought to find their place or what gains were made by women in the workplace in the past 100 years. But they give clues about work yet to be done to give women their full place in the City workforce.

Kraft puts foot in big pot of yoghurt?
New logo maybe treads on Yoplait's toes
LogoWatch exclusive On 17 February, international nosh monolith Kraft revealed a new logo for Kraft Foods - a "global identity... that it hopes will drive the company forward in its second year of a three-year turnaround plan".
The result of a seven-month design process, the image boasts a "stylised red smile" encompassed by seven "flavour burst" icons each of which represents "a different division of Kraft's business".
Accompanied by the slogan "Make Today Delicious", the revamped brand frontage represented a key part of Kraft's new "higher purpose", as chairman and CEO Irene Rosenfeld put it to employees.
Kraft hoped that the "corporate identity shift" would create "clarity of purpose" and "enable a high performing culture".
Well, The Register received an email on Monday suggesting that the new logo was somewhat less than delicious, due to an accidental similarity to that of the European tentacle of yoghurtmonger Yoplait.
Our source said that Kraft had decided to pull the logo, and is now using an "interim" version, minus the smile and flavour burst, pending the development of something else.
We note that the exciting new corporate paradigm shift is still available at Kraft's logo central, and a request for a statement yesterday had, at time of publication, gone unanswered.
For the record, the Kraft image overhaul was not well received by the unwashed masses. The blogosphere reacted with predictable hostility, with one commentator calling it "a design by committee nightmare", while the Denver Egotist described it as cramming "everything we hate about politically-correct big businesses into one two-inch space". ®

State police this morning reported numerous spinouts and accidents on major highways around Springfield, causing long delays and difficult commutes.
Accidents were reported on I-91, I-291, and the Massachusetts Turnpike.
Due to the conditions, the speed limit on the Mass Pike between the New York line and Auburn was reduced to 40 mph for much of the morning. The restriction was lifted about 12:30 p.m.

I finally joined the ranks of the many iPhone carrying mamas this week. After constantly reaching for my husband's iPhone, "borrowing" it during travels, and having him phone me while I'm out to tell me I received a work email that needs attention, I figured it was high time I got my own. Call me a brainwashed consumer, fine, but ask me what the weather is going to be, directions to the nearest coffee shop, or which apps are best for entertaining toddlers, and I'll be able to show you with the touch of a button.
Brand spankin' new out of the box, the new iPhone 4 is a pretty sight – shiny, hefty and fingerprint-free. But that doesn't last – at least for me. Not only is the iPhone shared by my toddler, but just three days after I got it, I forgot and left it on my lap after a phone call in the car. When I got out of the car, it dropped off my lap and onto the pavement, chipping tragically in 3 places. Very sad indeed.
So, I got to thinking – how can I make an inexpensive, temporary bumper to protect my new investment while waiting the 4-6 weeks for the free case from Apple to arrive in the mail? A quick search pulled up this idea, but I don't own one of those rubber "Live Strong" bracelets. Next I tried modifying this free template from case-mate, originally designed for the iPhone 3Gs. It didn't fit. Then, I remembered a sheet of adhesive craft foam I picked up at the craft store (was it Michaels?) for about $1. Perfect!
How to make your own iPhone 4 bumper:
1. Cut a strip of adhesive or "sticky back" craft foam 12mm wide (.47 inch) using a ruler and an X-Acto knife. Although the iPhone 4 is only 9.3mm (0.37 inch) thick, this gives about a 1mm (0.04 inch) overhang on both the face and the back of the iPhone to act as a buffer during impact.
Ideally, you'd be able to cut just one strip about 345mm (13.58 inches) long to wrap completely around the perimeter, but since my foam sheet was letter-sized, I had to do it in two pieces.
2. Cut out holes within your strip: approx. 47mm x 5 mm (1.85″ x 0.196″) for the speakers and dock connector, 30mm x 5mm (1.18″ x 0.196″) for the volume and ring/vibrate controls, and 7mm x 5mm (0.275″ x 0.196″) for the headphone jack (7mm x 5mm). I left the on/off switch covered, which doesn't affect it's usage.
3. Carefully remove the backing and apply it to the sides of the iPhone, keeping about a 1mm overhang on each edge (centering the foam on the steel antenna band as neatly as possible) . If you need to, join two separate pieces to completely cover the perimeter, slightly pulling on the foam to stretch it only if you need to bridge the gap where the pieces join.
And there you have it, a cheap and easy DIY alternative to the more expensive bumpers for sale. Even better, craft foam sheets come in a rainbow of colors (I just happened to only have black and white on hand). While possibly not ideal, it is working great so far (with no dropped calls).

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) is revealing the latest information from the NARI Second Quarterly Business Review — and it is positive news. The second-quarter research, which measures remodelers' assessments of business conditions, shows NARI members believe the current business climate is slightly more positive than the same time last year.
"There are clear indications that some of our NARI members believe that they have weathered the storm, and expect consumer confidence to return in a more consistent pace going forward," says Kevin Anundson, CR, CKBR, NARI national secretary and president of Owner Assisted Remodeling, Elm Grove, Wis.
In fact, data shows that NARI members forecast stronger sales growth in the next three months, based on three key factors: Postponement of projects (80%), growth due to low interest rates (50%), and 35% believe improving home prices are also a significant factor.
Remodelers say consumer confidence has a different tone this time around. "People are aware that that their home values may not be as high as they once were, yet that only affects those that are forced to sell," Anundson says. "Many homeowners have made the decision to remain in their home and are choosing to make improvements and increase their comfort and long-term living accommodations. This thought process allows them to be much less concerned about returns on investment and resale values."
This is supported by a homeowner poll conducted on NARI's website in May 2012, which showed that 28% of homeowners planned on staying in their home up to five years longer because of the economy. Still, NARI members keep a conservative outlook on business conditions and are working hard to maintain the tighter and more efficient systems implemented during the past several years.
"As with most business owners, remodelers are only increasing staff when it makes good financial sense," Anundson says. "We are actively striving to keep overhead low, while continuing to invest in effective marketing strategies. Even as the remodeling market improves, we have gained a new insight into the fluid nature of our national economy."
Additional findings related to the overall business conditions:
- Number of inquires has increased since last year
- Requests for bids has increased since last year
- Conversion of bids to jobs has increased since last year
- Sales value of jobs sold has increased since last year

What is the Presbyterian view of losing your salvation?
Thank you for your fine question to the OPC Question and Answer web page.
In short, the OPC believes that true Christians can not lose their salvation.
We derive this belief from passages in the Bible such as John 10:28-29 where Jesus says:
John 10:28-29 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
Also, in the book of Romans it says:
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Officially, in our statement of faith, called the Westminster Confession, it says:
WCF 17:1 They, whom God has accepted in His Beloved, effectually called and sanctified by His Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved. (Phil. 1:6; 2 Pet. 1:10; John 10:28,29; 1 John 3:9; 1 Pet. 1:5,9)
Above you will see a list of other Scripture verses which support this teaching. You can look those up at your leisure.
Now, there are some verses which speak about professing Christians "falling away" (Hebrews 6:4-6 is the more popular of these kinds of passages). However, we generally interpret these kinds of passages as referring to people who were not genuinely saved to begin with; they were hypocrites (people who talked like Christians but were only faking their faith). This we see very clearly in passages like 1 John 2:19 which speak of people who "fell away" as doing so because they were never real Christians to begin with.
1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
I hope this little explanation is a help and encouragement to you. Please feel free to follow up with us should you have any further questions.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Oh boy. We made some of these today for our dinner with T-bones and potato salad. They were excellent.
These can be hot!
The recipe is simple, you can literally make any number you want.
They are a great little appetizer, but keep the milk at hand if you don't like a lot of heat. Make sure to try to remove all the seeds and the membranes to cool them off a lot.
This recipe come from Flower Elliot at JustAPinch.
- Jalapeños
- cream cheese
- bacon
- Cut a "T" at the top and down the center of each jalapeño. (lay them on the table and however they lay flat, use the top as where to cut them open. They will then lay nicely cut side up in the baking pan)
- Remove all seeds and membranes as best you can, being careful not to break the pepper apart.
- Fill each with cream cheese, and then wrap each with one slice bacon.
- Place in baking pan (I put them on a rack so they wouldn't sit in the bacon grease), cut side up.
- Bake until done at 400°. I found that 40 minutes was enough, but just test with a knife tip to see if the pepper is cooked through.
Serves: I would say 2 to a person.

Doctors are writing a new prescription for menopause: the antidepressant.
It's not that all menopausal women are depressed. Instead, the antidepressant has emerged as the drug of choice among women searching for new ways to cool the hot flash.
There is no way to track how often antidepressants are prescribed to treat hot flashes, the unpredictable, sticky wave of heat that for many women is the defining symptom of menopause. None are specifically approved for hot flashes, and doctors who prescribe them are doing so "off label."
Menopause researchers say antidepressant use is becoming increasingly common as both women and doctors seek alternatives to menopause hormones. The use of hormone drugs has fallen precipitously since 2002, when a government study linked hormone use in older women to stroke and breast cancer.
It isn't clear why antidepressants seem to cool hot flashes, at least in some women. The link was made by chance in studies of women with breast cancer. Some cancer drugs set off hot flashes, and researchers noticed that women who were also taking the antidepressants known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors had fewer flashes.
Studies looking at the use of these and other serotonin-altering drugs to treat hot flashes in healthy menopausal women have been disappointing. Two, Wyeth's Effexor and GlaxoSmithKline's Paxil, have shown a meaningful benefit in high-quality controlled studies, according to a review published last year in The Journal of the American Medical Association.Continue reading the main story
For women, that translates into some relief, but not as much as they would receive from estrogen drugs. In one Effexor trial, the antidepressant users reported about 60 percent fewer hot flashes. By comparison, studies of hormones show estrogen reduces the frequency of hot flashes 80 percent.
Although Effexor did help, it worked best at a high dose, meaning that women also complained of numerous side effects, including constipation, dry mouth and nausea.
"Some women are fine with them and say it helps and it makes a difference," said Cynthia Pearson, executive director of the National Women's Health Network, an advocacy group. "Other women, after two to three weeks, they say, 'Forget it, I don't feel like myself.'"
Studies are finding a wide variation in responses to the drugs. A study of the antidepressant Zoloft — sponsored by its maker, Pfizer, and published this month in the journal Menopause — reported that one-third of the subjects actually had more hot flashes while taking the drug, a third stayed about the same or experienced just a slight benefit, and a third reported far fewer hot flashes. The finding is similar to trends shown in other studies of antidepressants for hot flashes, including Prozac and Paxil.
The challenge, then, is in figuring out which women have the most to gain from taking the drugs. Unfortunately, the number of women studied has been so small that no big conclusions can be drawn. In the Zoloft trial, 27 women were in the high-benefit group.
But one interesting trend emerged. Women who were recently menopausal, meaning that they had just stopped having their periods, received the most benefits from antidepressant treatment. Women on either side of the menopausal transition, those who had been menopausal for a year or those who were just starting to experience the effects of hormonal fluctuations, fared worse on the drug.
The biggest concern about antidepressant use for menopause is that the drugs may worsen some symptoms already common during menopause — things like anxiety, sleep problems and loss of libido. And while the drugs have been used safely for years in people with depression, there's no long-term data on their use in healthy women with healthy brains.
"We think of them as being safer than estrogen, but we've got trials of 20,000 women for eight or nine years with estrogen, and we don't have anything like that," Deborah Grady, director of the Women's Clinical Research Center at the University of California, San Francisco, said about the antidepressants.
Wyeth is seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration for another serotonin-altering drug, Pristiq, specifically for the treatment of hot flashes. But the agency said in the summer that it needed more data before considering the request.
For women who choose to try an antidepressant to relieve hot flashes, doctors advise a psychiatric workup and regular follow-up in the first weeks after starting the drug. In some patients, antidepressants can touch off severe manic symptoms if they have histories of bipolar disorder or manic personality traits, doctors say.
"They are helpful for some women, but right now it's impossible to predict for whom they will work," said Dr. Shari Lusskin, director of reproductive psychiatry at the New York University Medical Center. "It offers an option for women who don't want to take hormones. But we don't know what long-term use of these drugs does to people who are not depressed."Continue reading the main story

This is a tyrosine phosphorylated angiotensin II peptide with a substrate sequence specificity for chymase to act. This is an octapeptide hormone that is formed as a result of the action of human heart chymase, a chymotrypsin-like serine protease on the Phe-His bond of Angiotensin I. The ideal susbtrate for human heart chymase should contain this peptide sequence, and has been demonstrated that the Pro-Phe sequence in P2-P1 positions of peptide substrates is highly favored by leukocyte chymotrypsin-like proteinases such as chymases and cathepsin G.

GHC Code Owners
GHC has an enormous "surface area", and has grown way beyond the capacity of any individual, or even research group, to maintain and develop. Its continued success is built on the active contributions of a large group of highly talented people, who take responsiblity for significant parts of the system. This page summarises who does what.
See also
- The GHC Team page, which includes a list of committers.
- The Contributing to GHC page, which tells you how we work together.
What it means to "own" part of GHC
What does it mean to be the "owner" of a chunk of GHC, say X?
- Being the owner of a chunk of GHC is a public service. Everyone else gives the owner lots of kudos for looking after X on our behalf.
- The owner is the first port of call for guidance about how X works.
- If you want to work on X, it makes sense to talk to the owner first, to see what he or she is planning, and to debate the design.
- The owner feels a sense of ownership. That means taking responsibility for keeping it clean and beautiful, and refactoring when necessary.
- The owner can't be expected to fix every buglet, but feels a sense of responsibility to make sure that serious bugs are fixed.
- Owners are expected to step down if they are no longer able to make the time commitment required.
Ownership means being the "first among equals" rather than "having exclusive control":
- It does not mean that everyone else can relax and say "oh Fred is dealing with X". Fred needs help!
- It does not mean that no changes can happen to X without the owner's say-so, most especially if the owner becomes hard to contact.
- It does not mean that the owner can make decisions that the community disagrees with. Being willing to roll up your sleeves lends weight to your voice, but owners should seek consensus for contentious issues.
When contacting an owner, always cc
email@example.com, so that others can contribute. It's a community thing.
The GHC repository is held on a machine called "Rock" (TODO link to new infrastructure information.)
