HONOLULU -- A federal appeals court has ordered a new trial in a lawsuit filed by the family of a Texas soldier who was killed and others who were injured during a live-fire training exercise in Hawaii.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling overturned a jury verdict that found the manufacturer of mortar cartridges not liable for causing the 2006 explosion that killed Staff Sgt. Oscar Rodriguez.
The 27-year-old from Beeville, Texas, was hit by shrapnel at the Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island. He was supervising the firing of two mortars when a shell detonated in the cannon. The blast seriously injured Samuel Oyola-Perez, Julius Riggins and Wilfredo Dayandante.
The lawsuit was filed in 2008 against General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products Inc., claiming the shell was defective. The plaintiffs appealed the jury's 2010 verdict.
The appeals court issued a ruling on March 7 that the trial court was wrong to allow an Army investigator to give testimony as a lay witness that could only be provided by an expert. The investigator, Philip Leong, claimed the explosion was probably caused by the soldiers. He was General Dynamics' only witness.
"Here, the district court erred when it allowed Leong to offer specialized and highly technical testimony about the cause of the explosion," the 9th Circuit panel's opinion states.
One of the three judges dissented, writing, "a retrial is no more than a second bite at the same apple."
Attorneys for the defendants didn't respond to requests for comment.
"After Oscar died, the Army came to my home and told me that a crack in General Dynamic's mortar shell caused the explosion," said Rodriguez's wife, Stephanie Rodriguez, who lives in Kansas City, Mo. "This was the official explanation provided to my family by the Army. The Army was very clear that the soldiers did not cause the explosion."
Her husband joined the Army in 1996 and served in Iraq for 13 months before being assigned to Hawaii. The couple has a son, Jacob, who is now 7.
"Oscar died seven years ago and this has been a very, very long journey," the widow said. "We will see this through and find justice in Oscar's memory, and for the other soldiers and families."
Dayandante was disabled after the blast and died of a heart attack in May 2009, said David Larson, lead trial attorney for the plaintiffs. He said lawyers haven't been able to directly link the 28-year-old's death to his injuries in the explosion.
His mother is pursuing the lawsuit on his behalf.

Miss America contestant Allyn Rose to get double mastectomy
Miss America contestant Allyn Rose, who is Miss DC, plans to undergo a double mastectomy after she struts her stuff at the Miss America pageant on Saturday. Rose is having a surgery to reduce her chances of developing the disease that killed her mother, grandmother and great aunt.
"My mom would have given up every part of her body to be here for me, to watch me in the pageant," she said between dress rehearsals and preliminary competitions at Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas Strip Wednesday. "If there's something that I can do to be proactive, it might hurt my body, it might hurt my physical beauty, but I'm going to be alive."
If crowned, the University of Maryland, College Park politics major could become the first Miss America not endowed with the Barbie silhouette associated with beauty queens.
Rose said it was her father who first broached the subject, during her freshman year of college, two years after the death of her mother
"I said, `Dad I'm not going to do that. I like the body I have.' He got serious and said, `Well then you're going to end up dead like your mom.' "
She has pondered that conversation for the past three years, during which she has worked as a model and won several pageants, including Miss Maryland USA, Miss Sinergy and the Miss District of Columbia competition, which put her in the running for Saturday's competition.
She measures her age by the time of her mother, Judy Rose's, first diagnosis, at age 27.
"Right now, I'm three years away," she said.
Judy had one breast removed in her 20s, but waited until she was 47 to remove the other one, which Rose's father had called a ticking time bomb.
"That's when they found she had a stage three tumor in her breast," Rose said. "And that's why for me, I'm not going to wait."
She plans to have reconstructive surgery, but said the procedure has complications and there is no guarantee that she will regain her pageant-approved bust.
Preventive surgery is a "very reasonable" choice for someone with Rose's family history and a genetic predisposition, said Patricia Greenberg, Director of Cancer Prevention at the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles. But her decision is also drawing criticism in the world of pageants, where contestants regularly go under the knife for a very different reason.
She also receives hate mail from beauty circuit die-hards who write to insist that she continue filling out her bikini.
Her brother, who works for an oncology association, said he sees the irony in a beauty queen choosing to give up her breasts but supports his sister's choice.
"For me what trumps everything is her living, hopefully to a ripe old age, as opposed to any ancillary things that she might lose from potentially winning Miss America," said Dane Rose, 31.
Rose initially said that if she won the crown, she would postpone her surgery until after her year as a title-holder. But while shopping for earrings to match her black velvet pageant gown Wednesday, she said she was now considering having the surgery during her reign as a way of inscribing her platform of breast cancer prevention on her body.
"I've been thinking how powerful that might be to have a Miss America say, `I might be Miss America but I'm still going to have surgery. I'm going to take control of my own life, my own health care,' " she said. "So I guess it's up to what happens on Saturday night."

How often are the feature requests reviewed at the forums?
I've suggested a few features without getting any kind of answer from any of the core devs. I think every user here, as Hyperion customer, deserves at least some kind of response, no matter how big or small the request is. It's very frustrating when you suggest something that would be incredibly useful and maybe quite trivial to add but for all you know it may not have even have been seen by a member of the dev team. Just having a quick read and sying that the request had been noted would be better than effectively being blanked.
How about reviewing it properly and compling a list of all the reuests made so far, compiling a list and then categorising them. as follows.
Already included.

When you create or post a resume to the Service or submit a resume through the Service in response to a Job Posting, that resume is stored in our searchable resume database in the United States. You may control the status of your resume by setting it to private or public.

If you do apply online to a Job Posting, your resume will be transferred to the relevant employer, who may retain a copy of your resume or distribute it to third parties. We cannot control their use or retention of your resume information.
If you set your resume as public, but want your contact information to be confidential, your resume will be searchable by potential employers, but we will hide your contact information. You must also remove your contact information from any resume you post to the Service. You should be aware that if you have a rare skill or job title, for example, it may still be possible for you to be identified even without your contact details being included. If you are worried about being identified, you should not include specific details by which you could be identified.

access to our searchable database. By making your resume searchable, you are expressly consenting to such transfers of data.
We attempt to limit access to our searchable resume database to legitimate Users such as employers, recruiters, hiring managers, headhunters and human resource professionals, as well as law enforcement and national security agencies, but cannot guarantee that other parties will not gain access to this database.

However, employers, recruiters and others who have been provided access to the database by GetHired may have retained a copy of your resume in their own files or databases. We cannot control the retention, use or privacy of resumes or profiles that have been downloaded by third parties. Accordingly, you should not put sensitive information, personality profiles, or other information you would not want made public, in your resume.
If you provide us with details of a reference, it is your responsibility to ensure that the person is aware that you have forwarded his/her details and has consented in writing for you to do so.
If you use our facilities to build a resume or to post a resume in our database of jobseekers' resumes, then you will be providing us with personal data we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

(v)physical or mental health or genetic makeup (vi) addictions, sexual life (vii) the commission of criminal offences or proceedings and associated penalties or fines, or (viii) any Social Security Number or national identification number, if you set your resume as private unless you have previously sent to us your written consent that we may process your sensitive personal data, if GetHired determines this to be a requirement of applicable law.

Here is my last lesson submission for the day. It is going to be on "how to draw Wiggler", step by step. If you have every played any of the Mario Bros video games (which I'm sure you have), you should remember seeing this particular character in one of the worlds and or boards. Wigglers are also known as caterpillars and it's clear to see why. They are usually yellow with orange spots, and they almost always have a flower sticking out from the tops of their heads. Wigglers first appeared in 'Super Mario World' and even though they are considered one of the enemies that Mario and his friends have to defeat as they play through the boards, to me they have always been adorable. Now if you stay away from a Wiggler they will normally keep calm and stay their bright yellow. Once you bounce on their heads or get them mad in any other way, they will become infuriated and turn red, then they come at you quickly as they run instead of walk. Their facial expressions change too from happy to mean or angry when they are touched. This is a super fun character to draw from the series, and since you come across them very often, they deserve to be a part of tutorial gang when it comes to Mario characters. So enjoy drawing Wiggler, he or she is waiting for you! Adios people and I hope you all enjoyed your drawing day on Dragoart.com.

Tink wasn't enough cake for all the guests, so I layered her on a 10" square vanilla cake with pink vanilla frosting, decorated with grass and sweet flowers.
I used the Absolutely the Best Yellow Cake recipe because it is a sturdy enough cake to stand up to being layered and sculpted. I like the taste of it, but upon reflection, I think I prefer a little lighter and softer cake. I will continue my search for the best vanilla cake.
The frosting is my usual vanilla bakery icing, but I omitted almond extract (and subbed in a little extra vanilla) due to the birthday girl's brother's allergies.
The cake was very well received by party-goers, and more importantly, I think the birthday girl really liked it. I sure hope so! We had a great time celebrating with you, A!

The unemployment numbers released today are terrible, and they show that budget austerity is crippling the recovery. After the worst recession since the Great Depression, the federal government made an effort to stimulate growth and to help state and local governments prevent layoffs, but after unrelenting conservative pressure, those recovery efforts were abandoned, and Republicans and the President turned to premature deficit reduction. These numbers show dramatically that this is not the time for additional budget cuts.
As a result of the end of federal stimulus support, state and local government employment declined in June, with more layoffs certain to come at all levels of government. But the surprising weakness in private sector job growth demonstrates that our country can't expect private growth when the states are firing teachers, police and other public servants. Business won't invest until they see customers ready to buy their products.
Our elected leaders in Washington need to start focusing on jobs now. It's not that hard: We need a spending plan to jumpstart job growth. First, do no harm: Postpone deficit cuts until the recovery revives, don't cut Social Security cost-of-living increases, and help the states stop laying off teachers, cops and firefighters.
Second, let's get serious about passing and implementing job-creating programs, as Democrats in Congress have suggested: Investment in public infrastructure is one example that would have both short-term and long-term benefits for Americans.
In order to re-build the American Dream we need to do better than this. We cannot pursue additional austerity when it is clearly sabotaging the economy. Americans want the chance to work hard to get ahead. And a full-employment economy is the best way to reduce deficits. Our leaders must stop meeting behind closed doors and must start working on implementing a jobs plan, today.

2017 Tennessee Child Support Update: New Cases, Rules, and Definitions of Underemployment - On-Demand
Webinar is now available on-demand. NOTE: On-Demand webinars are not eligible for CLE credit.
WEBINAR SNAPSHOT: Learn how recent Tennessee court cases have changed how you should counsel clients on issues of child support.
Tennessee's appellate courts continue to deal with the issue of what constitutes "income" for child support purposes. For example the Court of Appeals recently held that forgiveness of debt and "trail income" are not "income" under the Child Support Guidelines.
And parties continue to litigate the issue of when a parent will be considered voluntarily underemployed for child support purposes. For example, the Court of Appeals affirmed a trial court's finding that a father was voluntarily underemployed for child support purposes when he left his lucrative job as a mortgage broker to accept similar employment at another company at significantly lower pay.
If your law practice involves family law, you'll want to carve out one hour to join your colleagues for this valuable on-demand webinar on new interpretations and applications of child support guidelines.
We'll cover private school tuition, extracurricular activities, and special needs of children. And in this mobile society, you'll benefit from insights on the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act when a parent seeks to enforce child support against a nonresident.

Shockingly, a new survey reveals that women actually care about independence within relationships. Also, single men may crave kids even more than women do.
According to the survey, developed by anthropologist Helen Fisher and social historian/marriage expert Stephanie Coontz and conducted on over 5,000 single men and women, 24% of currently child-free dudes want kids, compared to 18% of women (these numbers, reported in USA Today, actually seem awfully low, making me wonder if the question was more like, "do you want kids right now?"). And according to Time, single men under 24 and over 50 were more likely than women in their age groups to want marriage — for ages in between, "more women are interested than men, but not by all that much."
The survey also found that ladies are not all looking for knights in shining armor to relieve them from the tedium of their lives — and in fact, they'd like to continue living these lives, even when they're in a relationship. Writes USA Today's Sharon Jayson,
[A]cross every age group, women want more independence than men in their relationships: 77% of women say having their personal space is "very important," vs. 58% for men; 78% of women say the same about having their own interests and hobbies (vs. 64% for men). And 35% of women (vs. 23% of men) say regular nights out with the guys/girls are important.
Though USA Today's headline for the story is "Men, women flip the script in gender expectation," these results really shouldn't be that surprising. The idea of women as baby-hungry harpies who have no interests other than landing an (unwilling) man has always been the stuff of bad rom-coms and relationship books. Of course, the survey methodology isn't immediately clear from coverage, and it was conducted on behalf of Match.com — if researchers only looked at Match users, this could certainly skew results. And Match may have a vested interest in sending the message that men aren't commitment-phobes. However, they have no reason to overstate women's desire for independence, and just from personal experience of women in relationships, I'd say their numbers on that score sound accurate. I'm just surprised they're not higher for men — does this mean not every guy needs a Man Cave after all?

Fundraising mission begins for important WWII control tower
PUBLISHED: 13:52 04 May 2012
A £250,000 fundraising camapign has been launched to restore a vital piece of WWII history that helped the crew of the iconic Memphis Belle strike into Nazi occupied Europe.
Campaign kicks off with 1940s weekender
THE mission to raise the cash to restore Bassingbourn's rare Control Tower will kick off with a 1940s themed weekend.
The Tower Museum organised Somewhere in England event takes place over May 12-13 with some of the country's finest 1940s entertainers pledging their support.
Among the stars will be Paul Casper - billed as the UK's number one George Formby tribute - chanteuse Fiona Harrison and the Opus 17 Big Band.
Allied Forces living history groups will help bring the period to life joined by the machines that helped win the war.
The Highland Pipes & Drums band will also be there as will a large collection of WWII R/C aircraft.
There will also be a wide array of events and trade stalls with a licensed bar and food stalls to help the good cause.
Gates open at 10am on both days and tickets are £10 for adults, £7 pensioners and under 16s are free.
To find out more log on to the website www.towermuseum bassingbourn.co.uk
The control tower, on Bassingbourn Barracks, has been fully taken on by the Tower Museum Association from the Ministry of Defence and it wants to restore the building back to its wartime glory.
Servicemen from both sides of the Atlantic were based at the then RAF Bassingbourn and the museum stands as a monument to the brave men who gave up their lives fighting tyranny.
A statement from the museum's directors said: "The Tower Museum stands testament to a time when the fate of the free world hung in the balance and stands as a memorial to the 2,200 men of the RAF and United States Army Air Force who were lost to the enemy flying from this airfield during WWII."
It is a poignant year for the group to begin the restoration as a national memorial will be unveiled in memory of the 55,573 men of Bomber Command killed during the conflict, with many stationed at the base making the ultimate sacrifice.
A total of 180 men lost their lives when the Royal Air Force's Operational Training Units were based there between 1938-42. Records show at the turn of 1941 one German fighter shot down 21 Wellington Bombers in the skies over Crow Country.
The United States Air Force were next to move in with the 91st Bombardment Group (Heavy) unaware of the horrendous losses they would endure.
By the end of the war the group had suffered the most losses of any group in the entire 8th Air Force.
But it was to the B17 group the famous Memphis Belle belonged and it was the first of its type to officially complete 25 daylight bombing missions over occupied Europe - when crews only had a survival rate of completing 11 missions.
It was at the base that Hollywood director William Wyler came in 1942 to film the combat documentary Memphis Belle, which is said to have done a great deal to convince the sceptical American public of the vital work carried out in the European Theatre of Operations.
This year also marks the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the 8th United States Army Air Force to the UK and the arrival of the 91st Bomb Group to Bassingbourn.
Chairman of museum's directors Chris Murphy said: "It is therefore fitting and timely that the Tower Museum embarks upon its mission to raise the funds required to restore the Control Tower at Bassingbourn, a memorial museum dedicated to both RAF Bomber Command and the 91st Bomb Group (Heavy) of the 8th USAAF.
"Success of the fundraising mission will ensure that the museum can continue to act as a centre of educational and historical importance for current and future generations, to learn of the price of freedom and what was done at places like Bassingbourn to ensure the freedom and liberty we enjoy today."

Today, Papa Kenn does a quick review on the 3rd installment of the "Hangover" movie series. It has been widely panned by critics, but does The Hangover 3 really deserve so much hate?
"The Hangover 3"
Director: Todd Phillips
Writers: Todd Phillips & Craig Mazin
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, John Goodman, Melissa McCarthy, Heather Graham, Jeffrey Tambor, Mike Epps
The Hangover 3, while not a great movie in the grand scheme of things, does manage to accomplish a good mixture of (at times dark) comedy and crime thriller themes. It's certainly not as funny as part 1 overall, but is a fitting end to the series that should help fans forget about the infamous 2nd film.

Dawn Harper wants a little more respect after winning silver Tuesday in the 100m hurdles.
Even after finishing second in a photo-finish race behind Australia's Sally Pearson, the East St. Louis, Ill., defending champion said the cameras didn't turn from media darling Lolo Jones.
Jones, seeking redemption after blowing her gold-medal run in 2008, came in fourth.
"I feel as if I had a pretty good story," Harper told NBC's Michelle Beadle the morning after the race. "Knee surgery two months before Olympic trials in 2008, to make the team by .007, not have a contract, working three jobs, living in a frat house, trying to make it work, coming off running in someone else's shoes ... it sounds pretty interesting."
Harper said she worked hard to represent the United States and felt shunned when the media spotlight never lifted from Jones.
"Because their favorite didn't win, all of a sudden, it was like, 'We're gonna kind of push your story aside and still push this one,'" she said. "That hurt. It did, it hurt my feelings."
American Kellie Wells, who finished third in the race, echoed those thoughts.
"I think on the podium tonight the three girls that are in their spot and got their medals and worked hard and did what they needed to do prevailed," Wells said. "And that's all that really needs to be said."
Jones told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday she was "heartbroken" by negative media coverage two days before the race. She tearfully responded Wednesday to a New York Times article that argued she had received more attention during the run-up to the London Olympic Games than her accomplishments had warranted.
"I think it was crazy just because it was two days before I competed, and then the fact that it was from a U.S. media [outlet],'' Jones told NBC's Savannah Guthrie.

The city provides the context for the visually packed work of San Francisco native Barry McGee. Since the mid-1980s, when McGee was a teenager, he has lived in the city's oldest neighborhood, the Mission District. At that time, the Mission held a colorful, somewhat seedy, antiestablishment atmosphere with a thriving culture of youth, alternative musicians, artists, and thinkers. The vibe of the Mission influenced the artist early on, and he began to infiltrate the area's flourishing graffiti boom with images that he created to reflect his surroundings. Initially working under the moniker Twist (with alternatives such as Twister, Twisty, and Twisto), McGee found freedom in markmaking, tagging, and spray-paint bombing the sides of buildings and other outdoor public spaces with ephemeral (illegal) imagery. Using the alias Twist was especially liberating to the artist as a way to experiment stylistically, shift from one body of work to the next, and protect his anonymity, while questioning the ideas of authorship and ownership. This method also provided him the opportunity to develop an arsenal of conceptual themes that have figured prominently in his work ever since, such as: a critique of the government and capitalist society; the overstimulation, excess, vitality, and mayhem of inner cities and urban hubs; the forgotten societal misfit; and the need to band together, in his case with friends in the spirit of collaboration. It also helped established some of his seminal recurring motifs, for example, his variations on a wino figure with a sad-sack face, furrowed brow, and grimace—caricatures that pay homage to dropouts and people who have been marginalized by society.
In 1991, McGee graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute, where he studied painting and printmaking. The combined forces of his formal training, quick graffiti chops, and expert skills as a draftsman, along with multiple artistic influences (Mexican Muralists, tramp art, surfer culture, graffiti from the 1970s and 1980s, the beat poets, geometric abstraction, op art, early video and site-specific works, graphic design, typography, and cartoons) have factored into his unwieldy, yet unmistakable visual lexicon. By the mid-1990s, he began to span two worlds, as a key figure to his peers within the graffiti scene and as a talented newcomer to the realm of contemporary art. His drawings, paintings, sculptures, and installations have been exhibited at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Most recently, his work was the subject of a midcareer survey at the UC Berkeley Art Museum, which travels to the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston.

I know, I know, I am late in talking about these, but frankly after seeing the swatches online for some of these newest MAC collections, I've been pretty "bleh" about them. Suite Array was definitely passable for me, and Emanuel Ungaro has pretty packaging, but the colors are nothing I haven't seen before...it's a good thing because it saved me from buying 'em, lol.
I however, tested the Cremesheen lipsticks (I didn't bother to take swatches since there are so many online and I am late on the bandwagon), but they are really pretty and pigmented considering they have the word "sheen" in them. It's almost like a lipstick and lipgloss in one, where you have the color of a lipstick, and the shine of a lipgloss. It's not at all moisturizing, but it's not matte, just a nice lipstick with a bit of shine.
I bought three, "Ravishing", "Modesty", and "Hot Gossip"; but I am thinking about returning "Ravishing" because I think it's a bit too orange on me (in real-life it's too orange-y, in this picture it's perfect), and because I have some orange-colored NYX lippies that could perhaps be a decent dupe (still gotta compare 'em). The other colors are nice too, but I just picked these three because they seem wearable for everyday wear for any outfit. "Modesty" is a nice rose pink/nude color that is perfect for winter and those with fair or light skin tones. It gives a pop of color rather than just plain nude lippies. "Hot Gossip" is a nice blue based pink, with a nice shimmer.
***I still have to do my Japanese look for Pink's contest, but I am at the BF's house for the weekend so I don't have all my supplies, lol. I'll try and do it later today!

I want Ravishing! Please, please do a post re: the NYX dupes you mentioned! I've been looking for a good orange lipstick for ages because most look coral on my moderately pigmented lips. I'm pretty sure your lips are as pigmented as mine so if it's orange on you, it may even be orange on me *fingers crossed*. Thanks for the great post =).

How do you return things like lipstick once you've used it on yourself? Do they accept that in the US? I always thought you can't cos of the hygiene issue.

Ravishing is definitely a knockout on you. I really can't tell that much of a difference between the other two. One looks a little darker than the other. This whole collection is kinda 'meh' on the color, isn't it?

I hope it'll look right being that I'm a NW-47 aka Dark-skinned. But they look dreamy on you!!!!

Holistic view on sustainability
We strive for developing more sustainable packaging solutions whenever practically possible. Sustainability is an integrated part of our functions. For us sustainability means environmental protection, social equity, and economic efficiency.
We believe packaging can do all these:
• It reduces resource usage and product wastage
• It lowers health risks and
• It improves economic efficiency
By combining the packaging knowledge and the renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable material base that Huhtamaki has we will be able to meet customer demand for environmentally optimal packaging. We produce wide fiber and bioresin based range of single used products such as the environmentally friendly Bioware range, the first of its kind in the world.
We use PEFC certified paperboard from sustainably managed forests
The essential starting point for assessing the environmental performance of packaging is understanding the property requirements set for the packaging throughout its entire life cycle. Sustainability is important part of our raw material sourcing. Currently majority of our paperboard comes from The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certified sustainably managed forests.
The material used in our paper cups is predominantly virgin wood fiber (also known as primary fiber) that has not previously been used in the manufacture of paperboard. Fiber is classified as a renewable natural resource that can be recycled. The thin polyethylene (PE) plastic moisture barrier layer used in the cupstock can be separated industrially and the fiber material used for example for core board production. The packages can also be incinerated. Although, this would produce carbon dioxide emissions, it does not add carbon to the carbon cycle. Paper cups are climate change neutral, since most of the material used is renewable.
We explore continuously the field of new renewable and recyclable materials and employ them when cost and functional performance match with the needs of our customers. Huhtamaki has been a pioneer in use of biodegradable and renewable raw materials. We launched our first biodegradable paper cup in 1995 and complete EN 13432 certified compostable packaging range called BioWare in 2004. Since then BioWare has grown to become the industry's most complete environmentally sound foodservice packaging range.
We are pioneers in use of recycled resin and bioplastics
We were among the first companies in introducing recycled PET and compostable Ingeo PLA into our plastic thermoforming processes for high clarity cold drink cups and food containers. Today we are working actively in finding environmentally sustainable material solutions for hot drink and food applications.
For comprehensive overview of our sustainability efforts, see the Huhtamaki Group sustainability report (see link below).
The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC)
The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is and international non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicted to promoting Sustainble Forest Management (SFM) through independent third-party certification.
PEFC works throughout the entire forest supply chain to promote good practise in the forest and to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards.

Just retired Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore dies
Longtime University of Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore, who stepped down roughly 10 days ago, passed away Saturday at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. Moore, 73, had been battling pulmonary difficulties.
Moore had been hospitalized in Durham since March 13 and officially stepped down March 20. Bill Battle, the former standout wide receiver under legendary Crimson Tide coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and a teammate of Moore's, was introduced as the AD on March 23.
The folksy, silver-haired Moore, part of Alabama athletics for more than 50 years as a player, coach or administrator, had a hand in 10 of Alabama's national football championships. At one time Moore hoped to succeed Bryant.
"The University of Alabama and the world of intercollegiate athletics have lost a legend, and I have lost a dear friend," Battle said in a statement.
"My heart goes out to his family and close friends in this time of sadness. After a time of grieving, we can begin to celebrate Mal's life, as his legacy will last for generations."
He began as a backup quarterback, played on Bryant's 1961 national championship team, became an assistant coach to Bryant and Gene Stallings, spent five years as an associate athletic director and took over as AD in 1999.
The football and athletic administration building bears Moore's name, but his biggest claim to fame might have been hiring Nick Saban as football coach. Saban has led the Tide to three titles in four years.
Moore was to become a special adviser to Alabama President Judy Bonner.
Moore oversaw an athletic department that made more than $240 million in facilities improvements -- including multiple expansions of Bryant-Denny Stadium -- and won national championships in football, gymnastics, softball and women's golf in 2011-12.
The football building and his own memorabilia-covered office are housed in the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility, named after him in 2007.
Saban released a statement Saturday:
"Mal was truly a special person in every sense of the word. We can talk about all the championships Mal has been involved with, but I think what will be remembered most was the man he was. He always put the best interests of others ahead of his own, he carried himself as a first-class gentleman, and he helped bring out the best in those around him.
"Mal was an outstanding leader in terms of all he did for Alabama athletics. Most importantly, he was a great friend to me and my family. Mal was the number one reason we decided to make the move to Tuscaloosa.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially his daughter Heather. There's no question we have lost a great man today. What won't be lost is Mal's legacy in serving our University to make it a better place today and in the future. Nobody genuinely cared more about the Crimson Tide than Mal did. Mal has positively impacted athletics at Alabama unlike anyone ever has or probably ever will."
Moore was a freshman on Bryant's first Alabama team in 1958 then spent 22 seasons as a coach, including a stint with Stallings for the NFL's Cardinals in St. Louis and Phoenix.
He joined Bryant as a graduate assistant in 1964 and coached both the secondary and quarterbacks before becoming the Tide's first offensive coordinator in 1975. He was also Stallings' offensive coordinator from 1990-93 in a tenure that included the 1992 national championship.
Moore interviewed to take over the program after Bryant retired in 1982 but was passed over in favor of New York Giants coach Ray Perkins. That left Moore thinking about getting out of the profession before Notre Dame's Gerry Faust hired him to coach running backs.
"At the time, I kind of felt like a man without a country," Moore said in a December 2012 interview ahead of the BCS championship game with the Fighting Irish. "I was in a strange position that I'd never been in before."
A native of Dozier, Ala., Moore earned an undergraduate degree in sociology and a Master's degree in secondary education from Alabama.
He was married to the former Charlotte Davis of Tuscaloosa for 41 years before she passed away after a long illness in 2010. He is survived by his daughter HeatherCook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon. Funeral arrangements are pending.
Born: Dec. 19, 1939
Died: March 30, 2013
Playing career: 1955-58, Dozier High, QB-DB; 1959-62, University of Alabama, QB
Education: Bachelor's degree in sociology, Alabama, 1963; Master's degree in secondary education, Alabama, 1964
Coaching career: Graduate assistant, Montana State, 1963; Graduate assistant, Alabama, 1964; Assistant coach (secondary), Alabama, 1965-70; Assistant coach (quarterbacks), Alabama, 1971-82; Offensive coordinator, Alabama, 1975-82; Assistant coach, Notre Dame, 1983-85; Assistant coach, St. Louis-Phoenix Cardinals, 1986-89; Assistant head coach, quarterbacks coach, Alabama, 1990-93
Administrative career: Associate director of athletics for external affairs, Alabama, Jan. 15, 1994-Nov. 22, 1999; Athletics director, Alabama, Nov. 23, 1999-March 20, 2013; Special assistant to president, athletics director emeritus, Alabama, March 21-March 30, 2013

The health and well being of children is important for growth and development, which is why the Snohomish Health District works to ensure health and safety at Snohomish County child cares and preschools. Our services are targeted at child care businesses and providers.
For more information about our program activities, please see our Child Care Health Outreach Program annual report.
For help finding a child care or day care in your area, Child Care Aware of Washington provides information and referrals. They are available by calling 1.800.446.1114 and online at www.wa.childcareaware.org
To make sure a child care or day care provider is licensed, and review other licensing information including any founded complaints, visit the Department of Early Learning. Here's an overview of the different types of child care options. Some are regulated by the state - requiring licensing - and some are not.
Diseases can spread easily and quickly in child care environments, and children are more susceptible to some illnesses. This is because children have less developed immune systems, may not have received all of their vaccinations, are in close contact with many other children, and are still learning healthy habits.
The Snohomish Health District Child Care Health Outreach program helps child care owners and workers with the challenge of preventing illness and maintaining sanitary child care environments. We offer on-site visits and consultations, distance learning classes, and resources. We publish a bi-annual newsletter. Click on the following links to view our recent newsletters:
May 2017, November 2016, October 2015, March 2015, December 2014, August 2014, September 2013. (PDF).
Our goal is to help child care providers and preschool teachers achieve best practices in out-of-home care for children.
A public health nurse and environmental health specialist are available to consult with providers at their child care, by phone, or by email. Here are some of the topics we would be happy to discuss with you. Click on the following items for more information.
Preschools are a common place for the spread of illnesses. Snohomish Health District is pleased to offer a special illness prevention program designed specifically for preschools exempt from child care licensing. The free outreach program is called "Taking Illness Prevention to Preschool" or "TIPP." We assist license-exempt preschools with the challenge of preventing illness and maintaining sanitary preschool environments.
Our staff will make four monthly visits during which you will receive materials, advice, and resources to help you improve your preschool program. Your preschool will receive a hand washing lesson for the children, use of our lending library of books and games, a curriculum kit to keep, training hours for staff who are interested, and a framed completion certificate that can displayed for parents to see.
There is no cost for participation in the TIPP program. To get more information or to sign up, please send an email to email@example.com or call 425.339.5278.
In group settings, illness can spread rapidly. Child care providers are encouraged to call the Child Care Health Outreach program at Snohomish Health District to discuss guidelines for observing, responding to, and reporting symptoms of illness. Programs staff can:
Child care providers are required by law to report certain diseases called notifiable conditions to Snohomish Health District.
Although a disease may not require a report, child care providers are welcome to call for advice. Any cluster of cases or an unexpected increase in any illness in a given period may indicate an outbreak. Providers are encouraged to call the Communicable Disease Outreach program for assistance with clusters of chickenpox, MRSA, influenza, norovirus, or other illnesses.
Parents must also be notified when their child has been exposed to a communicable disease. We can provide help with letters home and fact sheets on the various illnesses.
Other resources for child care providers related to childhood illnesses and exclusion guidelines (all are PDF documents):
The following forms may be helpful when enrolling a child with a chronis health concern or special need. (Call or email for form.)
Child care licensing regulations state that every program must have a current, written health policy. Centers and school age programs must have their policies signed by a physician, physician's assistant, or registered nurse. The Child Care Health Outreach program staff will review and sign your health policy at no cost, provided that you use our most current template (all are Word .doc files):
Your completed policy should specifically reflect the practices that are done in your child care. Leave all text colors, such as red and green, in place until the final review is completed. Once you have finished writing your policy, email the document back to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. After we review it, we will contact you to set up a time to visit your child care and complete the process.
In addition to a health policy, you may need some or all of the following supplemental policies and forms.
Child care providers, teachers, or managers may come in contact with blood or potentially infectious body fluids as part of their work with young children. Illnesses such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV can be transmitted through blood or certain body fluids. Child care providers must use Universal Precautions to protect themselves from becoming infected. The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries requires child care providers to have a Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan to help protect staff. A model policy is included here.
When children need medicine during the day, child care providers are called upon to make sure children receive them in a safe and effective manner. Giving medication requires organization and planning. Mistakes can be avoided with a few simple guidelines. Child care providers should make sure they have a written medication policy in place which addresses:
The following documents may be helpful.
Children are more susceptible than adults to food poisoning - technically called foodborne illness. Child care providers and preschools are required to follow the food safety guidance provided in the Washington State Food and Beverage Worker's Manual. For many child cares and preschools, this requirement was first introduced in 2013.
Basic food safety rules include:
All child care providers should obtain a Washington State Food Worker Card.
Here are a few guidance documents for child care facilities.
Pets can have a very positive effect on children. In child care programs, pets can teach even very young children about values such as kindness, responsibility, and caring. Unfortunately, some pets can be a significant source of disease, allergies, and injury in young children. Animal bites can be serious. Petting zoos and animal interactions can be fun experiences for children, but also have many health and safety risks associated with them.
Child care providers with pets on the premises should have a current pet policy and be knowledgeable about the health risks associated with the animal. Parents should be notified whenever pets are present.
The following documents can help you decide if a pet is right for your child care and write your policies. Additional information on health risks from animals or petting zoos can be found on our Animal Bites & Risks page.
The best way to reduce the spread of germs in child care settings is by using good hand washing practices and washing hands often. This applies to both child care providers and children. For handwashing information and resources, including a copy of the handwashing poster, go to the Handwashing page of this website.
Cleaning and sanitizing or disinfecting are also very important for preventing the spread of disease in child care environments. When cleaning and sanitizing/disinfecting, use a three step process as follows:
Child care providers can contact the Child Care Health Outreach program for advice on choosing an appropriate cleaner, sanitizer, or disinfectant, mixing bleach and water solutions, or which surfaces should be sanitized and which should be disinfected. Other helpful information can be found in the following documents:
Snohomish Health District's Healthy Communities Program can help you promote healthy eating and physical activity in your child care center or home by providing STARS training and on-site resources. Topics that can be addressed include nutrition, healthy mealtime environments, physical activity, and reducing screen time.
Some resources available to assist you include:
The curious and adventurous nature of young children helps them learn about their world, but also makes them prone for injuries. Child care providers can take steps to reduce the chance of injuries in their child care environment. Call the Child Care Health Outreach program if you have questions about preventing injury in your child care or if you wish to schedule a personalized onsite consultation.
The Snohomish Health District's Child Care Health Outreach Program has disease fact sheets on 26 different illnesses commonly found in child group care settings.

In Re: SHARON DIANE HILL, Debtor, ROBERTA A. DeANGELIS,
Acting United States Trustee for Region 3, Movant,
McCAFFERTY AND McKEEVER, and ATTORNEY LESLIE
PUIDA, Respondents.
Case Number 01-22574 JAD, Chapter 13
2010 Bankr. LEXIS 3313
October 5, 2010, Decided
COUNSEL: [*1] For United States Trustee: Patrick S. Layng, Esq.
for United States Trustee: Lisa D. Tingue, Esq.
For United States Trustee: Norma Hildenbrand, Esq.
For Countrywide Home Loans, Inc: Thomas A. Connop. Esq.
For Countrywide Home Loans, Inc.: Dorothy A. Davis, Esq.
For Goldbeck, McCafferty and McKeever/Atty Leslie Puida: Francis Manning, Esq.
JUDGES: Thomas P. Agresti, Chief Judge.
OPINION BY: Thomas P. Agresti
Related to Doc. No. 465
(A) The Court's Rule to Show Cause
The Rule is directed against Countrywide, GMM, and Puida and was very deliberately limited to
seven well-defined Items of potentially sanctionable conduct related to this whole matter, four
directed to Countrywide and three to GMM and Puida. The Court's approach to resolving the
specified matters before it is to set forth each of the Items as stated in the Rule, followed by a
discussion of whether the evidence supports the imposition of any kind of sanction against the
respective party involved. The seven Items of inquiry identified by the Court in the Rule involve the
following, allegedly inappropriate instances of conduct:
(1) Countrywide [*43] failing to properly account for chapter 13 payments made by
the Debtor during the pendency of her case.
(2) Countrywide knowingly and willfully violating the discharge injunction granted
to the Debtor through numerous and sustained attempts to collect on questionable debt
which, by appropriate review of applicable records, was current as of the time of entry
of the discharge order.
(3) Countrywide intentionally, or with reckless disregard and/or indifference to the
applicable facts, misleading the debtor's attorneys into believing change notices had
been timely sent via the use of three "created" Payment Change Letters, when in fact
they had not, and during such time attempting to resolve a dispute pending before this
(4) Countrywide intentionally, or with reckless disregard and/or indifference to the
applicable facts, making misrepresentations to this Court in a pleading regarding the
cause of its claimed escrow arrearages account regarding the Debtor.
(5) Goldbeck McCafferty and McKeever and Leslie Puida knowingly and willfully,
or with reckless disregard and/or indifference to the applicable facts, violating the
discharge injunction granted to the debtor by making numerous and [*44] sustained
attempts to collect on debt they knew to be discharged or should have known was
(6) Goldbeck McCafferty and McKeever and Leslie Puida intentionally, or with
reckless disregard and/or indifference to the applicable facts, failed to disclose to the
debtor's attorney that three Payment Change Letters had never actually been sent, all
in an improper attempt to collect on questionable debt while attempting to resolve a
matter that was pending before this Court.
(7) Goldbeck McCafferty and McKeever and Leslie Puida intentionally, or with
reckless disregard and/or indifference to the applicable facts, made inaccurate oral
statements in response to the Court's inquiry regarding when Leslie Puida told the
Debtor's attorney that the three Payment Change Letters were not what they purported
to be, but instead were memoranda created years after the event.
AND NOW, this 5th day of October, 2010, for the reasons set forth in the accompanying
Memorandum Opinion, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that,
(1) Items 1, 2 and 3 of the Rule to Show Cause ("Rule"), Document No. 435, as directed against
Countrywide Home Loans, Inc ("Countrywide"), and Item 5 of the Rule, as directed against
Goldbeck, McCafferty and McKeever ("GMM") and Attorney Leslie Puida ("Puida") are
(2) With respect to Item 4 of the Rule, as directed against Countrywide, the Court finds
sufficient cause exists to sanction Countrywide pursuant to Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9011, and that a
sufficient sanction so as to deter repetition of such conduct in the future or comparable conduct by
others similarly situated, is a "public censure" of Countrywide and a reminder of its obligations
under Fed.R.Bankr.P. 9011(b)(3) to make reasonable investigation before making factual
allegations in documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, or any other court for that matter. The
Court's comments in the Memorandum Opinion and in this Order constitute that censure and
[*126] reminder. Therefore, no further hearing or action is required in regard to Paragraph (4) of the
(3) With respect to Items 6 and 7 of the Rule as directed against GMM and Puida, the Court
finds that sufficient cause exists to impose sanctions pursuant to the Court's inherent power its
power pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105(a) and Fed.R.Bankr.P. 7037, incorporating Fed.R.Civ.P.
37(c)(1)(C). Therefore, a hearing is scheduled for November 22, 2010 at 2:00 P.M., in the Erie
Bankruptcy Courtroom, U.S. Courthouse, 17 South Park Row, Erie, PA, for the purpose of
considering and determining appropriate sanctions, at which time Leslie M. Puida and Michael T.
McKeever, in his capacity as a representative of GMM, with authority to speak for the firm, are
directed to personally appear.
(4) With respect to the apparent misconduct of Attorney Charles Townsend ("Townsend") as
described in the Memorandum Opinion, a Rule to Show Cause is hereby issued directing him to
personally appear on the November 22, 2010 at 2:00 P.M., in the Erie Bankruptcy Courtroom, U.S.
Courthouse, 17 South Park Row, Erie, PA, to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed
against him for providing false or misleading testimony [*127] under oath during his deposition in
this matter, which testimony was then used at the time of trial due to Townsend's unavailability. The
Court further understands that Townsend may no longer be affiliated with Countrywide. If that is
correct, Countrywide and its Counsel of Record, Thomas P Connop, are directed to effect personal
service of a copy of this Order and Rule to Show Cause, together with the Memorandum Opinion,
on Townsend immediately after receipt of this Order and file a Certificate of Service to that effect
on or before October 12, 2010.

Future Races...2006
I was planning on entering 3 100's for 2006. I was planning on McNaughton in IL, Kettle-Morraine in WI and Superior in MN.
Note the WAS in the above sentences. I thought I had it all figured out.
Now I'm thinking about some of the major races.
Western States in CA
Leadville in CO
Yikes...these thoughts are kind of scary to me. I keep on thinking that I am not good enough, not prepared well enough to do these races. Friends; good, experienced ultra running friends, keep telling me that I am ready..
I'm still thinking...I will someday do the Grand Slam ( 4 - 100's in one summer: Vermont 100, Western States, Leadville and Wasatch..oh my...)
On a less decisive thought, I ran 5 miles on the treadmill this early AM, will head to the gym after work for weight training of the leggies.
M1 Oat pancake (1 c oats, 1 egg, 5 whites, splenda, cinnimon and sf syrup)
M2 Banana, Myopro
M3 Tuna Creation pack, 1 apple
M4 4 oz chicken, spinach, sf blue cheese dressing, tomato
M5 Chicken kabob, greens
OK, goals are good. Big, far reaching goals are better.

Quite impressive goals you have here...you're thinking bigger than most of us will ever dream; but none of this seems pie in the sky for what you've already accomplished.
If you're runner friends are confident in your abilities, than you probably should be too!
Mmmm that oat pancake sounds tasty (not to mention filling). I might need to try that.
- Julie B said...
That oat pancake is wonderful! You must try it after a workout. It will fill you up and you will feel it refill your glycogen stores!! It's awesome.
Yeah, after Voyaguer the friends keep telling me I'm ready for the mountain races..the big time. I guess time will tell..
- Wil said...
Can I ask how long you've been running? And also, have you ever considered Badwater? I know it's road race and you seem to do mostly trails, but I bet you could pull it off!
- Wil said...
Grr, looks like the other comment I posted didn't show for some reason, but it was to the tune of "WOW!" I'm definitely going to make this a frequent stop. I love seeing moms with careers out there tackling enormous things ;)
- Flatman said...
Wowwy, Zowwy! You are a machine!!!
I really admire you and the distances you run!

Follow @flickrhivemind Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails.
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
https://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)

About Us
The Office of Professional Regulation, commonly known as "OPR," is a division of the Office of the Secretary of State. Our mission is to protect the public from incompetent or unethical practitioners through a system of licensure. We achieve this by supporting boards and advisor groups that oversee licensure of 50 professions (such as architects and tattooists) and approximately 60,000 licensees.
A Public Protection Mission
When professions are regulated, competency is assured. OPR accomplishes this through licensing boards and advisor groups by ensuring that applicants are qualified, complaints of unprofessional conduct are investigated and prosecuted, and standards of practice are well defined. This further safeguards the public, who may lack a basis for judging what constitutes acceptable quality in service or conduct.
Disciplinary action against a licensee can include sanctions such as a reprimand, restrictions on the ability to practice, a monetary penalty, or even revocation of a professional's license. Such action helps to rid the profession of incompetent, unethical, and dishonest practitioners; correct inappropriate behaviors; and rehabilitate those practitioners who can safely maintain their licenses. It also serves notice to others that the regulatory agency will not tolerate practitioners whose activities may be contrary to the public interest.
How Does This Affect Me?
In a typical busy month, any one of us might run the following errands and receive the services of several licensed professionals without giving much thought to the qualifications of those who provide these services. For example, you might:
- Get your haircut
- Look into buying or selling a home
- Get an appraisal as part of refinancing your mortgage
- Ask a security guard for help
- Visit the hospital or local health clinic
- Have your teeth cleaned
- Visit a relative at a nursing home
- Get your eyes checked
- Take your dog or cat to the vet
- Prepay your funeral arrangements
- Visit the chiropractor, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or acupuncturist about that achy joint
- Pick up a prescription from your local pharmacy
- Buy a hearing aid
- Have a session with a mental health counselor or psychologist
Venturing outside your home, you will encounter the work done by licensed engineers, architects, appraisers, and land surveyors.
Your health often depends upon nurses, naturopaths, pharmacists, physical therapists, chiropractors, dentists, opticians, osteopaths, acupuncturists, athletic trainers, occupational therapists, psychologists, and optometrists to determine what health care services you require and to perform those services safely and competently.
For each of these seemingly simple errands, there is a tremendous amount of work going on behind the scenes to ensure your safety. The first hard work comes from the professional who must meet education, exam, and experience requirements in order to prove their qualifications for licensure. Next, once licensed, the professional must meet a set of standards governing how they practice their profession. Lastly, there is a system in place to investigate complaints from the public and, in some cases, restrict a licensee's ability to practice a profession when necessary to protect the public.
