Ask a Sommelier: One Wine, Different Entrees
We ask top somms across the country for their wine-related advice.
Here's the situation: you're at dinner with three friends, and you all order wildly different entrees. One chooses a pasta with vegetables, some else goes for the fish, another orders steak, and last person gets the chicken. For dinners like this, how do you go about ordering wine to share? Is there a general rule for picking a wine that will be as versatile as possible when it comes to pairing with food? Or is there another way to tackle the problem?
We called in our wine experts to get their advice; here's what they had to say.
There's a lot to sip on Serious Eats: Drinks. Keep in the loop with our weekly newsletter.

Solaris (and OpenSolaris) are Free Software operating systems released under the CDDL by Sun Microsystems. They are vaguely SysV-like. KDE4 runs on this operating system.
The KDE Project on the OpenSolaris site is intended to be the definitive source of information, but this page on TechBase is intended to collect information, porting and compilation guides, etc. Since TechBase is a wiki, this is much easier than going through the OpenSolaris editing process.
For an overview of the remaining issues, see the KDE4 on Solaris status page. It lists showstopper bugs and issues with dependencies. This page is concerned with instructions on how to build it all.
Solaris and OpenSolaris are trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc.
This page is about KDE4 (the KDE 4.1 branch; we are aiming for having KDE4.1 fully functional on Solaris) on Sun Solaris S10U5 or OpenSolaris Nevada 70b or OpenSolaris Nevada 83 running on both amd64 or SPARCv9 hardware and compiled with Sun Studio 12. No other KDE releases, operating system versions or hardware platforms are the target of this project, simply because the core contributors to the project do not have them or the time to work on them.
That's not to say it will not necessarily work; people have and continue to contribute work for obsolete hardware platforms (32-bit only like i386 and SPARCv8). You can probably run the binaries produced by the project on other OpenSolaris releases, even OpenSolaris 2008.5, but you're on your own.
On your own, that is, unless you register for Techbase and add your comments on what needed doing and what was problematic somewhere below.
The core team for KDE4 on Solaris is Adriaan de Groot, Lukas Oboril, Stefan Teleman. We'd like to thank Edward O'Callaghan, Ben Taylor and Mark Wright for their help in particular.
We don't have much in the way of documented KDE4 *use* on Solaris nor many reports of bugs found in daily use of the below KDE4 packages on http://bugs.kde.org/ . Thus we welcome any contributions though either bug reports, the repo or by email.
|The Techbase documentation gets out of date quite quickly. Do not follow it blindly; step into the IRC channel or on to the mailing list for more details or help with issues.
Getting KDE4 on your Solaris machine requires the following:
You can use either Solaris 10 update 5 (S10U5) or Solaris Express (Nevada build 70b or 83 -- these two versions run on our build machine and on at least one developer's desktop). Other versions of the operating system might work, but there are no guarantees and probably not much sympathy either; OpenSolaris 2008.5 is downright broken as a development platform.
Studio 12 There is a command line install and a GUI. Having installed with both types, I much prefer the GUI. It has finer grain control, and you can choose not to patch immediately (select the Advanced Options tab when you get to the install options, and unselect "Install Product Patches"). The reason to not patch immediately, is that you're going to have patch Studio 12 after installing, and there's no sense carrying around an extra 400MB in saved patches because the Studio 12 distro already has some older patches included in the distribution. Using [http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca Patch Check Advanced (PCA)] works well on both S10 and SXCE to handle patches for Studio 12.
Solaris 10 Install Sun Studio 12. Patch Sun Studio 12 with at least the following (there's an up-to-date list), assuming amd64; for SPARC, check that download page:
Also patch your OS with (again, these are listed on the SS12 patches page):
You can check with CC -V if you are up-to-date for the 124864 patch and cc -V for the 124868. Those are the most important ones.
|If you are using snv_97+, FOSSnas will fail unless you copy the following files into /usr/X11/lib/X11/config/ Note that this will be fixed in a later snv_rev and this page will be updated with a bit of hope.
[edward@SXCE-Workstation]:/export/home/edward:~>uname -sv SunOS snv_99
If you don't do this step you will end up with the following error : "FOSSnas | FAILED | pkgbuild build failed"
More info here; cat /tmp/FOSSnas.log
/usr/bin/wget http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/util/xorg-cf-files-1.0.2.tar.bz2

N.B. The above is also for contributing back (which this mail message is all about). The *-specs-dev repo is public and writable (over https). So we welcome you too can push fixes back on to it; A review will happen before things end up in *-specs.
cd kde4-specs/ ; hg up ; cd specs/

As usual, the IRC channel is a good place to start, but you must be able to pastebin compilation errors in order to get any help. The IRC channel is never too busy. #kde-solaris on irc.freenode.net . However, keep in mind that IRC is a live medium and it may not be the best place to ask questions. The mailing list kde-discuss at opensolaris.org is much more patient.
Also, you are expected to do your homework. Compiling KDE4 on Solaris is not for the faint of heart and you really need to know your way around compiling stuff and dealing with system software installation; otherwise you will be quickly ignored.

Smoking a privilege, not a right
I've read the Hotline calls of irate smokers (and one non-smoker) who claim their rights were trampled by the recent law going into effect that bans smoking in restaurants.
I certainly understand their anger, given how unreasonable it is to ask them to walk 20 feet to the door, open it, and stand in the open air to smoke. How unreasonable!

The Larimer County Sheriff's Office and Fort Collins Police Services are looking for compassionate and caring people to serve as victim advocates. Victim advocates provide a valuable service for the community by assisting victims and protecting their rights.
In addition to needed emotional support and crisis intervention, advocates offer information about the criminal justice system and the resources available to the victim. Advocates often act as a liaison between the victim and the officers investigating an incident.
Services are provided to victims 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Advocates are asked to work four to six 12-hour shifts per month and attend a meeting each month.
Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age, complete 40-50 hours of training and successfully complete the application process which includes a criminal history check and a background investigation.
Being a victim advocate can be personally rewarding as well as providing a much needed and important service to the community.

Schneck Medical Center (SMC) was recognized with Indiana University's 2013 Community Civic Engagement Award by Dr. Charles Bantz, chancellor of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, on April 26 in Indianapolis.
The Seymour medical center received the award for its long-standing partnership with the Indiana University School of Nursing, including the Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus (IUPUC) campus, where Schneck is one of the main clinical partners for IUPUC nursing students and faculty.
"Our partnership with Schneck Medical Center is essential as IUPUC continues to explore new ways for educating baccalaureate-prepared RNs in our region," said Dr. Beth Sharer, head of the Division of Nursing at IUPUC.
In 2008, the Institute of Medine issued a report recommending that 80 percent of practicing RNs hold bachelor degrees in nursing by 2020. Many practicing RNs in this part of Indiana have two-year associate degrees or nursing diplomas. Because of rapidly evolving technological and medical advances, however, RNs need more education to keep pace and deliver the best possible care with positive patient outcomes.
According to Sharer, SMC is at the forefront of healthcare providers in southern Indiana that support staff RNs who continue their educations. Nurses employed at Schneck receive 100 percent tuition reimbursement as an incentive to earn Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees. "Of the 190 RN to BSN students at IUPUC, approximately 80 of them are employed at Schneck," Sharer reported.
Sharer and her faculty work closely with SMC to explore new ways of increasing the educational attainment of RNs. "Vicki Johnson, who is vice president of nursing at Schneck, and Meghan Crockett, a nurse educator, are leaders in promoting continued nursing education in the greater Seymour area. Not only do IUPUC students have outstanding clinical experiences at SMC, six of their staff serve as adjunct nursing faculty, which ensures IUPUC students learn from active practitioners with real-world perspectives."
Of nearly 6,000 hospitals across the U.S., the 114-bed Schneck facility was the only hospital in Indiana to be named among the "Top 25 Hospitals to Work For" by HealthExecNews. SMC was honored with a Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) recognized it for the second time as an organization that provides quality patient care, promotes nursing excellence, and establishes innovations in practice.
More importantly, however, Schneck is one of just six percent of U.S. hospitals to achieve magnet status, Sharer said, noting that achieving magnet status is a key benchmark in measuring quality of nursing care.
"Magnet-designated healthcare organizations like Schneck consistently outperform their peers in delivering patient care, promoting lifelong education and training, ensuring nurses perform as a high-functioning members of the healthcare team, and providing other important community services," she explained.
The Indiana University School of Nursing established an RN to BSN program at IUPUC in 2002 at the request of SMC administrators who needed greater capacity for working RNs to continue their educations.
Since then, SMC supported the development of a traditional BSN program at IUPUC to educate first-time nurses who want to enter the profession. All students complete their first three semesters of IUPUC's clinical practicum at SMC, which has yielded overwhelmingly positive student experiences and feedback. Sharer credits SMC with a generous donation of a labor/delivery bed and gurney last year for IUPUC's newly opened Simulation Center.
IUPUC began offering nursing courses at the Jackson County Learning Center in Seymour about two years ago because it is a convenient location for many students. This fall, SMC will participate in a pilot study for a clinical homes model that will be coordinated in Columbus by Marsha Hughes-Gay, a member of the IUPUC nursing faculty. The model will enable IU students to become more familiar with clients and the SMC facility while developing their professional skills.
"For these reasons and many others, we thank Schneck Medical Center for its commitment to nursing education and collaboration. We appreciate their dedication to delivering high-quality nursing care throughout our region and are proud to recognize them for their efforts and their support of Indiana University nursing students and programs throughout southern Indiana," Sharer concluded.

Purdue Profiles: David Tate
David Tate, academic advisor in health sciences. (Purdue University photo/Andrew Hancock)
"They pay me for this? Do you believe this? They pay me to do this!" David Tate says with arms outstretched toward a window overlooking Purdue's West Lafayette campus. In his office, where walls are unseen behind plaques, awards and photos; where dimly lit lamps replace fluorescent lights; and where his son's first shoes hang, Tate, an academic advisor in health sciences, beams with pride and disbelief of the life he leads.
Why did you decide to stay at Purdue after receiving your bachelor's and master's degrees here?
Honestly, besides my marriage and the birth of my son, being at Purdue has been the most rewarding thing that I have done. It's the icing on the cake. What the University has given me the opportunity to do, I would never have believed that a kid from a high school class of 22 would ever do.
Every morning my wife, Maureen, who is event manager for Ross Ade Pavilion, and I drive down Northwestern, and I see this whole vista of Purdue. I see the Bell Tower and a sign that says Purdue University and I think, "I am so lucky." I get goose bumps; I have them right now just thinking about it. I've been doing this for a long time, but I feel like that every single day.
How do you approach your work as an advisor?
I remember coming here 46 years ago and feeling intimidated, lacking confidence, lacking direction, lacking preparation, and I had no one to talk to. The few times I tried to talk to an advisor or faculty member, it was not a very pleasant experience. I felt inferior and to some degree undeserving of being here, so I have to remember who these people are and why they come to my office.
I don't let myself answer all their questions because they need room to grow. I gently challenge them. Students are at really vulnerable moments in their lives, but the whole idea of my job is to help them find their way.
I encourage my students to seek failure. You have to be willing to go to that end point or you will never know your boundaries, and you will never be satisfied in life. For every plaque, there are 20 things I didn't do well. Purdue is a mechanism to provide a way to continually push the envelope. And if you fall, someone will help you back up.
You are faculty advisor for many student clubs, why is that?
A lot of times students explain to me that they can't find anybody to sign on as club advisor. It's upsetting to me that students have an idea they're excited about, and they don't have a mechanism for pushing it forward because just one person won't step up. I can't accept that. So I sign on.
Right now, I'm a faculty advisor for Circle Pines men's cooperative; Lambda Tau [medical technology students], which I actually started 20-something years ago; Power T, the weight Lifting club, which I founded in '78; Young Americans for Liberty; and I'm an emeritus advisor to Sigma Pi [social fraternity]. My wife and I have also been Faculty Fellows for over 23 years.
Why is it important for you to be involved in many areas across campus?
Because the students are that way. I also have a lot of varying interests, and in being faculty advisor to various groups, I learn so much more about the University and the students I work with. In order to advise, in my definition, effectively, I really should have a pulse of what's going on with the students.
Involvement in clubs and groups gives me a way of teaching and providing students with knowledge that they might not get in a classroom setting -- communication, networking, responsibility, leadership and delegating.
You go up and beyond your academic advising duties. Why?
I've been asked that a lot. And what I can come up with is that this University has afforded me the opportunity to get involved, and I took advantage of it. I've worked very hard to get to this place, and what I've found out along the way is that all the titles and accolades mean nothing, in my world, if I quit believing that I work for the students. I tell them that the University pays me, but that I work for them.
Do you keep in touch with former advisees?
All the time. I've had former advisees and their children come in for football games. I've got all kinds of kids -- students from 20 years ago -- e-mailing me. I've worked with three students who are children of my former students. Every summer I get together with some of my former students and their kids.
My wife and I started working closely with Natasha, a women's basketball recruit from Russia, and we sort of unofficially adopted each other. She calls us her Boiler parents, and we refer to her as our goddaughter. Even though she's in Spain now, we talk every other day.
It feels like an extended family. I'm just so proud of all of them.
You have such a great attitude about your job. How do you keep that up?
Well, I don't think of it as a job. It is a paid opportunity to participate in all these kids' lives and perhaps make a difference. But everyone has off days, so when I get into a blue funk, I go to these two large drawers full of notes, letters, e-mails and messages from parents and students and know that I have done my job. Those letters remind me who I'm working for.
Has there been a favorite moment or memory from working at Purdue?
Every single one of the students I've worked with is just so special. There are several that I love as if they were my own children. I've watched former students get married. I've been best man at some of their weddings.
I was selected as a Special Boilermaker, for which the women's basketball team and ROTC nominated me. I got to accept it on Ross-Ade field during halftime at a football game and my son joined me. Those are some highlights, but there is no downside.
It's obvious you influence your students. Do they ever do the same for you?
One day, a student came in to me and said, "I'm now seeing more clearly than I ever have before because I've stopped looking." I wrote that down, posted it above my desk and kept looking at it throughout the day. I thought that that should be me. I've always been looking for a sense of peace within myself, but that phrase made me realize it. So now I'm in the RCIA program to be accepted into the Catholic Church, and that student is my sponsor, answering my questions and guiding me through the process.
So in some respects, I am still the student. I truly believe that I get much more from these kids than they do from me. I get to share in their lives and learn more about them and Purdue. It's really interesting to me that for all of my professional life, I've tried my hardest to provide a direction and an answer to my students, yet, invariably, I find it's the other way around.

A Washington political action committee that spent $400,000 on Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul's special election campaign in 2011 is committing more than $500,000 to her race against Republican Chris Collins with new ads beginning today.
House Majority PAC, a super PAC that can raise money with far fewer restrictions than individual campaigns, is launching television spots in Buffalo, accusing Collins of giving jobs to friends, awarding a contract to one of his companies while county executive, and creating jobs in Korea and China by locating manufacturing facilities there.
"One thing's clear from Chris Collins' record: he knows how to look out for his own bottom line at the expense of Western New York," said Alixandria Lapp, executive director of House Majority PAC.
A Buffalo News analysis of similar ads sponsored directly by the Hochul campaign found the claim misleading in some respects. While true that a company he started – Ingenious Products – manufactures some of its products in China, The News found that the products were already being manufactured there before his investment.
A Collins spokesman also said the former county executive's companies have never outsourced jobs to China.
Collins campaign adviser Christopher M. Grant blamed what he called the distortions of the ad on Hochul, though her campaign is not connected.
"For politicians like Kathy Hochul – who have never created a job anywhere, ever, and have been in the hip pocket of Barack Obama – lies and distortions are the only weapon they have left," he said. "But voters in the 27th District see right through these false ads, and know that Chris Collins has created hundreds of jobs for Western New York families – and they want to put that record to work for them in Washington."
Washington groups including the National Republican Congressional Committee have sponsored $575,000 worth of television ads for Collins in recent weeks, but the new expenditure on behalf of Hochul is significant because it shows the resolve of outside Democratic groups to get involved in what they consider a close race.
"It's an incredibly competitive race," said House Majority PAC spokesman Andy Stone, "and the Republicans have made no secret they plan to pour in a lot of money."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, counterpart to the NRCC, has not yet launched any Hochul ads this year. Sources indicated, however, that House Majority PAC spent more money on Hochul's behalf last year than DCCC.
Stone cited a recent Siena College poll sponsored by The Buffalo News and WGRZ-TV indicating a race within the margin of error.
Stone said while the PAC so far has launched its new ad only in Buffalo, it also plans to reserve time for it in Rochester.

The 50th Anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" Speech and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom: August 28
On Aug. 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke to more than 200,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. His famous "I Have a Dream" speech and the march were key moments in the American Civil Rights Movement. To mark the anniversary, the U.S. Census Bureau has gathered key statistics that measure changes in some aspects of the black population to date.
There has been tremendous progress over the past 50 years. The diversity that we see in the classrooms and boardrooms around the country is a testament to that. And that impulse towards making sure everybody gets a fair shot is one that found expression in the Civil Rights Movement, but then spread to include Latinos and immigrants and gays and lesbians. "As we reflect back on the progress made over the last five decades, there still remains a lot of work to ensure that everyone who works hard can succeed, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation," Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker said in an anniversary statement.
On August 23, President Obama signed a Presidential Proclamation commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the March in 1963.

All five Bobcat scorers for the race posted top-10 times in the school recordbooks.
Pasko crossed the line on the 6K race at 23:02, just six seconds shy of the school record set by Allison Lones (Kathleen, Ga.) at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championship in 2011. Pasko finished 26th overall.
Second on the squad and 31st overall was sophomore Taylor Roeck (Cumming, Ga.) in 23:17, the third-fastest time in Bobcat history.
Coming in 36th in the race was Bekah Houston (Dalton, Ga.), finishing in 23:25, the fourth-best time in school history. Sophomore Lena White (Smyrna, Ga.) posted a 23:33 time in 39th place, good for fifth in the program recordbooks.
Rounding out the scoring finishes for the Bobcats was Meghan Wetterhall (Atlanta) in 53rd at 24:12. Her time was also a top-10 finish in school history at ninth.
Georgia College had 185 points in eighth, just 16 behind the University of North Georgia. Flagler College won the PBC Championship with 54 total points, followed by Columbus State University in second. The overall winner of the race was Flagler's Sara Mund, breaking the tape in 21:35.

David Sedaris: When You Are Engulfed in Flames
I have noticed in the last couple years that reading while eating has become dissatisfying - I enjoy both less, taste less, remember less. I read most of this while eating. I think it was more mature and not as hysterically funny as Me Talk Pretty One Day, but I also think that last burger needed salt.
Charles Palliser: The Quincunx
A thoroughly engrossing and very long victorian legal mystery/adventure. Also quite enjoyable! It did not end the way I expected.
Cormac McCarthy: The Road
Easily one of the best books I've ever read. I'll give you a dollar if you can make it through without crying.
Anais Nin: Little Birds
Not the one in the picture, but a lovely old red hardbound edition given to me by Heather. It reads like the stories were written over a long period of time, but perhaps the progression of tone was intentional?
Haruki Murakami: Norwegian Wood
My only excuse for not having read this before is that it was just perfect for me now. Rocketed to my favorites list straightaway.
Ernest Hemingway: A Farewell To Arms
The progression of language and complexity through the book was most interesting to me. The depiction of the central couple's affair seems disturbingly co-dependent and unhealthy, but that's just age, I guess.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Memories of My Melancholy Whores
Yes, quite good, the right length for a domestic flight. I hate to say "nothing special" but that's how I remember it.
Jerzy Kosinski: Steps
A re-read of a book I thought was too creepy and yucky to ever read again. Densely packed with uncomfortable feelings and moments of brilliance.
Charlie Brooker: Dawn of the Dumb
This is a collection of Charlie Brooker's columns in the Guardian from the last couple of years. If you don't read it, you really ought to start. http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/charliebrooker He writes about (british) TV and pop culture in a way that's so f'ing funny it makes me forget that I don't get the references. A bit formulaic when you read them all at a stretch.
James Kelman: How Late It Was, How Late: A Novel
A claustrophobic stream-of-consciousness rant, the focus set so tight you feel like you yourself are blind. Review quotes refer to how funny it is, but perhaps I'm too American to find it anything but choking. In a good way.

NJ police release mall shooting video, 911 calls
PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) — In surveillance video from inside a New Jersey mall where a man fired shots before killing himself last week, a store employee can be seen ducking down, closing the shop's heavy glass doors, then scrambling toward the back. Moments later, a man dressed in black and carrying a large gun walks slowly past.
Police released 911 calls and videos from several stores Friday inside The Garden State Plaza in Paramus, where authorities say 20-year-old Richard Shoop of Teaneck, N.J., fired several shots inside the mall from a gun modified to look like an AK-47 assault rifle before killing himself. No other injuries were reported during the Nov. 4 shootings.
In the videos, Shoop can be seen wearing a black motorcycle helmet, black clothing, black gloves and a backpack and carrying a gun as shoppers and mall workers scramble for cover.
Shoppers and store workers can be seen crowding at a store entrance and peeking around a door frame into the hallway of the mall before abruptly turning and hurrying back into the store, several clutching one another as they run. Video also shows the gunman walking at a normal pace through the mall corridors, and in one frame, exiting an elevator onto another floor.
Shoop's body was discovered in a back corridor, deep within a lower level of the mall in an area not accessible to the public. Investigators have said they don't believe the gunman intended to shoot anyone when he began firing at the ceiling and elsewhere inside the mall shortly before closing time.
Friday, police said they received so many 911 calls the evening of the shooting that they had to add 10 dispatchers to their staff of four in a matter of minutes and had to route some calls to other New Jersey counties, the New York City police and to Pike County in Pennsylvania.
In call after call, dispatchers can be heard instructing callers who don't seem panicked but are clearly nervous to find a back room within a store or the most secure location available and lock themselves in until police come to get them.
One caller, reporting he has seen a SWAT team enter the mall and asking whether he should remain in place or try to escape, is reassured by a dispatcher that help is on the way.
"There are many, many SWAT teams," she tells him. "Just stay where you are until police come and get you. Probably half the state police department has sent help."
Another caller tells a dispatcher he became separated from his wife and newborn baby, who were in another store when shots rang out, and wants to get to her. He is told to remain in place, call his wife, and instruct her to stay locked in wherever she is.
Paramus Communications Coordinator Sean Benson said of the hundreds of calls the department received, most of them came from people inside the mall who were asking for information or instructions, or from family members seeking information about loved ones inside the mall.

Brake Drums at 1A Auto
What are brake drums and where are they located?
Your vehicle's brake drums are major components in a drum brake system. A drum brake system consists of brake drums, shoes, backing plates, and wheel cylinders. Brake drums are usually made from cast iron, bolt onto the wheel hubs or axles, and spin at the same rate as the wheels. The rest of the components are confined to the inside of the drum. Inside each brake drum sits one wheel cylinder and two brake shoes, which are bolted to the backing plate. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is transmitted to wheel cylinder, causing the pistons to expand, pushing the brake shoes against the inside surface of the drum. The friction that this creates is what allows the vehicle to slow to a stop. In a nutshell, your vehicle's brakes convert kinetic energy to thermal energy.
Most vehicles today have four brake discs. But before this, drum brakes were the standard for all vehicles, and rear drum brakes are still found on many vehicles today—usually for cost effective reasons. If a car or truck is only equipped with brake drums, then it will have one drum for each wheel in the front of the vehicle and one for each wheel in the rear of the vehicle. If a car or truck only has brake drums in the rear of the vehicle, then the vehicle will have two front brake rotors and two rear brake drums.
One advantage of a drum brake system is that the brake shoes will generally last longer than pads in a disc brake system, since there is a larger friction material contact area. However, due to the design of drum brakes, they do not dissipate heat as well as a disc brake system. As heat builds within the brake drum, the brakes become less effective.
How do I know if my brake drums need to be replaced?
Brake drums can be resurfaced, or machined as long as there is enough material to do so. All brake drums have a discard diameter determined by the manufacturer, which is the maximum inside diameter the drum can be machined to before they are deemed unsafe and must be replaced (this information is often stamped into the outside of the drum itself). By using a micrometer, you should measure the inside diameter at multiple points to ensure the drum is not out of round and is within specification.
It is recommended to measure the drums every time you inspect the brakes or replace the brake shoes, as well as to regularly inspect the brake drum assembly for any signs of cracking, rust, corrosion or uneven friction surface. At one time it was very common to resurface brake drums, however today it is often more cost effective to replace the drums rather than machining them.
Can I replace a brake drum myself?
While replacing the drum can be a bit phsycially demanding, it can be replaced, especially if you're a bit handy with tools. The tools needed include jack stands and a socket and ratchet to remove the wheel and tire, and either a few bolts or hammer, flat blade screwdriver, torque wrench, and possibly some pliers. Before tackling anything, you want to jack the rear of the vehicle up and secure it on jack stands. Then remove the wheel and tire. Once that's completed, you should be face-to-face with the brake drum, which can either be removed by threading two bolts into the unused holes in the drum, tightening them, and then loosening the bolts to release the drum, or, if your drum doesn't have the empty bolt holes, you can remove the drum by tapping its perimeter with a hammer to jimmy it off.
While most repairs will also include the removal of the brake shoes along with the drum, there can be a few circumstances when the only the drum needs to be removed. Regardless, it's a good idea to have a set of new springs on hand in case any need to be replaced. And if you're going to replace one spring, it's best to replace all of them at the same time. Once the drum is off and you've made any necessary changes to other internal components, you can simply reinstall the drum by inserting it into place and turning it. You'll know everything is in place if you can turn the drum but still feel a bit of resistance. Then reinstall the wheel and tire, and once you've lowered the vehicle and tightened the lug nuts to your recommended torque specifications, road test the vehicle from 5mph and then 10mph.
Need a brake drum replacement?
Having properly functioning brakes on your car or truck is an absolute must for your own safety as well as for the safety of others. Since brake drums are an important component of a vehicle's drum brake system, if they are worn out, then replacement brake drums are needed ASAP. At 1A Auto, we carry a full line of high quality aftermarket brake drums, including both front brake drum and rear brake drum assemblies, for many makes and models.
At 1A Auto, we make shopping for a brake drum replacement for your car, truck, SUV or van easy - we're here to help you select the right part for your vehicle!

I recently have developed this sickness where I want to put rally lights on all kinds of cars. I'd love to get TDI Sportwagen and throw some HELLAs on that piece. So today's rally theme got me thinking....what would be the most inappropriate but awesome rally car?
My pick would be the new Cayman S...increase the suspension travel and throw a set of lights on it and that mid-engine machine could be a hoot on gravel and mud. What is your pick?

Between films, comics, tv, and a professional-grade diet of video games, I don't have nearly as much time to read novels as I once did. It's a real drag.
I was equal parts happy and stressed to read Flavorwire's list of 30 books everyone should read before turning 30. I already done turned 30, and I haven't read half of these.
How about you? Have you read a good percentage of these books? Does suffering through Much Ado About Nothing in high school count as "reading" it? How do you manage your time with so many different media vying for your attention? And hey, what are some of your favorite books of all time? Have you read Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union, and if so, do you love it as much as I do?
Let those questions be your prompt, or really, talk about whatever you like. The Friday Night open thread commences… now.

Experts sift for tiny details at Boston bomb scenes
BOSTON -- Police Commissioner Edward Davis has called it the "most complex crime scene" in the city's history.
Pieces of material that could be key to the investigation may be incredibly small, and those who passed through the area immediately after the bombs went off made the investigation process much more difficult, criminologists said Wednesday.
The investigation is incredibly painstaking, with a need to preserve and document all evidence and scour every inch of the area for clues, some of which may be hardly perceptible to all but the most well-trained eyes, experts said. But it is often the smallest pieces of evidence -- a fragment of a bomb, fibers of a shirt or a piece of a footprint -- that lead investigators to a suspect.
"They cannot be anything but extraordinarily thorough and meticulous," said Rosanna Cavallaro, a professor at Suffolk University Law School in Boston. "There may be things they miss that may connect the dots.
"Right now," she said, "the richest source of evidence is the material that they're finding."
Teams of investigators continued Wednesday to pore over a span of blocks of Boylston Street, with the perimeter of the crime scene under tight security.
Crews dressed in white suits, with gloves and coverings for their feet, combed the area, taking evidence in what looked to be medal containers. They appeared to then swab the ground underneath.
It's a very precise process, said Isaac Borenstein, a retired judge and adjunct law faculty at Suffolk. Every bit of evidence taken must be documented for where it was found and what it was near, and it must be kept from contamination during the entire process.
"The complicating factor in an urban environment is that people work and live there, and there's a lot of pressure to get this done as soon as you can and get everyone on with their lives," said Jack McDevitt, an associate dean at the Northeastern University School of Criminology and Criminal Justice.
They are likely the best such investigators available in the country, who will have access to the best labs and experts, criminologists said.
A crime scene in a vacuum is an investigator's dream, Cavallaro said, but the Boylston Street site is practically the opposite. Winds whipped through the area also on Tuesday, in addition to the large crowd, further changing the scene.
"One of the fortunate things is it didn't rain," McDevitt said.
Even doctors working on the injured collect evidence when they remove shrapnel or other fragments from their patients. Many emergency responders instinctively kept onlookers and others away from the scene immediately after those injured were helped, Borenstein said.
"It's always a problem," he said of potential contamination during such disasters. "But it's a problem that essentially comes with the turf because the first priority is to get people help."
Even after an arrest in the case, the evidence gathered at the scene would be needed by prosecutors at trial.
Once the crime scene is cleared, a specialized crew is brought in to clean everything and return it to normal. For a crime scene such as the one in Boston, it's a task that likely requires four or five three-person crews working around the clock for two or maybe three days, said Bryan Reifsteck, the director of marketing for Aftermath, a Chicago-area firm that specializes in such projects.
"It's literally starting at one end and combing through to the other end," he said.
The Boylston Street scene is being treated as a biohazard because of a mix of blood and objects like broken glass, Reifsteck said. Any materials must be put in regulated containers and brought to a medical waste facility and decontaminated and property disposed.
Cleanup is made complicated not only by the size of the scene but the materials that need to be cleaned - porous surfaces such as sidewalks and asphalt, said Reifsteck. Thousands of towels will need to be used, and then contained and disposed.
"Every situation is so different and so unique," he said.

Commission proposes new VAT rules for vouchers
Yesterday, the European Commission proposed to update EU VAT rules to ensure the uniform tax treatment of all types of vouchers across all Member States. Vouchers represent a market of more than € 52 billion per year in the European Union. Prepaid telecommunications account for almost 70% of the voucher market, followed by gift vouchers and discount vouchers. However, differences in national VAT rules on vouchers lead to serious market inefficiencies. Instead of being able to really benefit from the Single Market, companies face problems of double taxation and difficulties in expanding their business across borders. The new rules seek to redress this situation.
Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner for Taxation, Customs, Anti-fraud and Audit, said: "Vouchers are a booming business in Europe, with millions bought and sold every week. There is no justification for this ever-expanding market to be held back because of uncertainty and complications in the tax rules. With the new VAT rules proposed today, we can move to a genuine single market for vouchers, to the benefit of businesses, citizens and tax administrations."
Under the proposed new rules, the different categories of vouchers would be clearly defined, along with their VAT treatment. This would enable uniform treatment of transactions involving vouchers across Europe. The proposal includes provisions on defining vouchers for VAT purposes and identifying when VAT is due on vouchers (i.e. at point of sale or redemption). It also includes rules for vouchers passing through distribution chains and general means of payment. The new rules will enter into force on 1 January 2015.
Currently there are no EU VAT rules on how transactions involving vouchers should be dealt with. In the absence of common rules, Member States have developed their own practices. These are not coordinated and frequently cause problems for businesses and VAT collection. When a voucher is issued in one Member State and used in another, it is not always clear at what point the transactions linked to the voucher should be taxed. This is, for example, the case for international hotels promoting accommodation through vouchers in several EU Member States.
The objective of today's proposal is to clarify and harmonise the EU rules on the VAT treatment of vouchers. This will have a positive effect on businesses by eliminating situations of double taxation and uncertainty about tax compliance obligations. It will also help to close loopholes which facilitate tax avoidance by certain companies exploiting the mismatches between Member States. The new rules also fit well in the broader strategy of the Digital Agenda Europe, especially its objective to create a digital single market.
Firstly, the Commission proposes to harmonise the definition of vouchers for VAT purposes and the point of taxation for voucher transactions, to prevent mismatches which result in double taxation or double non-taxation. The time of taxation will be determined by the nature of the voucher, thereby clarifying if the tax should be charged when a voucher is sold or when it is redeemed for goods and services.
Secondly, the new rules draw a clear line between vouchers and other means of payment. The growing number of mobile devices makes it necessary to distinguish between prepaid telecom credits (which are vouchers) and mobile payment services (which are taxed differently). Changes in payment technology, notably the increasing use of mobile payments, require that any room for confusion is removed.
Thirdly, the Directive sets up common rules for the distribution of vouchers in a chain of intermediaries, especially where this extends across two or more Member States. A phone card for example can change hands several times in a distribution chain before it reaches the consumer and the businesses concerned need certainty about their tax obligations.
A number of other technical measures are included to deal with the right of deduction, redemption and reimbursement procedures, the person liable for payment of the tax and other obligations for businesses.
The Commission proposal is accompanied by an Impact Assessment. It concludes that the only effective way to deal with the identified shortcomings is to include the new provisions for vouchers in the VAT Directive. The EU VAT directive and impact assessment can be found at:

BRIDGEVILLE, N.J. –This holiday season, countless New Jersey citizens will make the New Year's resolution to quit smoking in 2012. While quitting smoking is extremely difficult—six out of 10 smokers require multiple quit attempts to stop smoking—preparing a quit-smoking plan can greatly improve a person's chance for success. The following are proven tips and resources from the American Lung Association that have helped thousands of people give up smoking for good:
- Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about the various types of treatments and different over-the-counter and prescription medications that are available to help you quit smoking.
- Look into the different options available to help smokers quit. Visit www.lung.org/stop-smoking or call 1-800-LUNG-USA (1-800-586-4872) for suggestions.
- Take time to plan. Pick your quit date a few weeks ahead of time and mark it on the calendar. If you can, pick a day when life's extra stresses are not at their peak, such as after the holidays. Mark a day on the calendar and stick to it. As your quit day approaches, gather the medications and tools you need and map out how you are going to handle the situations that make you want to smoke.
- Get some exercise every day. Walking is a great way to reduce the stress of quitting. Exercise is proven to not only combat weight gain but also to improve mood and energy levels.
- Eat a balanced diet, drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep.
- Ask family, friends and co-workers for their help and support. Having someone to take a walk with or just listen can give a needed boost.
- You don't have to quit alone. Help is available online and in your community. Consider joining a stop-smoking program like Freedom From Smoking® (www.ffsonline.org) from the American Lung Association.
"Quitting smoking is the biggest step a smoker can take to improve their health and wellness," said Deb Brown, president and CEO of the American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic. "The New Year is a perfect time for smokers in New Jersey to implement a plan to quit smoking and welcome the health and financial benefits of a smoke-free lifestyle."
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, the benefits of quitting smoking are immediate:
- 20 minutes after quitting – heart rate and blood pressure drop.
- 12 hours after quitting – The carbon monoxide level in a person's blood drops to normal.
- 2 weeks – 3 months after quitting – Circulation improves and lung function increases.
- 1 – 9 months after quitting – Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) start to regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs and reduce the risk of infection.
- 1 year after quitting – The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a continuing smoker's.
- 5 years after quitting – Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and bladder are cut in half. Cervical cancer risk falls to that of a non-smoker. Stroke risk can fall to that of a non-smoker after 2 – 5 years.
- 10 years after quitting – The risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a person who is still smoking and the risk of cancer of the larynx and pancreas decreases.
- 15 years after quitting – The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker's.
Helping Americans quit smoking remains a public health priority for the American Lung Association. Its Freedom From Smoking® group clinic program—which began in 1981 and includes a comprehensive variety of evidence-based cessation techniques—has helped hundreds of thousands of smokers quit. The American Lung Association more recently introduced Freedom From Smoking® Online, a highly successful, self-paced online adaptation of the group clinic that is available 24 hours a day.
For more information on smoking cessation, individuals should contact the American Lung Association in New Jersey at (908) 685-8040 or visit www.lunginfo.org.
"Smokers don't have to go through the process of quitting smoking alone," said Brown. "Research shows that people who develop a support system and use programs like Freedom From Smoking® have a greater success in their quit smoking efforts, especially those who try to quit 'cold turkey.'"

Welcome to a year of transition in the world of boys� high school basketball.
With area standouts like Fort Walton Beach�s Tyrone Culbreth and Walton�s Deshun Tucker, the 2013 large and small school players of the year, now playing college basketball, the door is open for a new crop of local stars. That crop is filled with sharp-shooting guards, a 6-foot-6 post presence at Laurel Hill and Crestview�s Ronnie Baylark, who enters his senior season as one of the top boys� basketball players in the state.
Baylark, who averaged 18 points a game as a junior, highlights the first-ever Daily News basketball Dandy Dozen, joined by five other local players who complete the list, which started with the unveiling of six girls� players on Tuesday.
�I think if anybody deserves that recognition, it�s Ronnie,� said Crestview head coach Greg Watson. �He�s a player who is good at everything.�
Baylark is joined by representatives from Choctaw, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, Laurel Hill and Paxton.
Guard, 6-2, Senior
Coach says: �I don�t see a weakness in his game. He is a player that does everything well. He can shoot it, he can get to the rim, he can defend at a high level. He�s a guy that will do a little bit of everything for us. But the biggest thing is that he is a competitor. He wants to win above all else, and all good players have that.� � Crestview head coach Greg Watson
Statistically speaking: As a junior, Baylark led Crestview in points and assists, averaging 18 and five per game. He also had a knack for the big play, as evidenced by his 55-foot game-winner in the closing seconds in Freeport�s holiday tournament.
2013 outlook: A starter for three years at Crestview, Baylark should be better than ever in his senior season The unquestioned leader for the Bulldogs, Baylark stands out as the area�s best player.
Center, 6-6, Senior
Coach says: �He utilizes his size and his length to get the most out of his game. He has a wingspan of about seven feet, and he uses that to take over on the boards. He covers the boards and he reacts well to the basketball. We expect big things out of him this year.� � Laurel Hill head coach Kent Zessin
Statistically speaking: Strickland led Laurel Hill in double-doubles a year ago and scored 24 points in the Hoboes� first preseason game this season.
2013 outlook: The area�s best post player, Strickland is a true matchup problem on the block, and his continued maturation should be a big strength for Laurel Hill.
Guard/forward, 6-2, Junior
Coach says: �He learned under fire the last two years. The leadership role he has taken on this season has been very impressive. He has really figured out how to be a leader for us. He�s a multi-dimensional player, somebody who can shoot it from deep and he can attack the rim.� � Fort Walton Beach head coach John Lavin
Statistically speaking: On a loaded Fort Walton Beach team that earned a district championship and sent three seniors on to college basketball, Black was a viable scoring option due to his ability to stretch a defense with his scoring range. He set his career high with a 19-point performance in a game last season.
2013 outlook: Transitioning from role player to a focal point of FWB�s offense, Black is poised for a breakout season in 2013-14.
Guard/forward, 6-2, Junior
Coach says: �He is a player. He scored 24 in our preseason game the other night, he�ll be a big-time guy for us this season. He�s versatile, and he knows how to play the game.� � Choctaw head coach Andy Thigpen
Statistically speaking: A playoff team in 2012-13, Choctaw had a starting lineup filled with seniors, and Lawton played the majority of the season on the Indians� JV squad. He led the team in scoring.
2013 outlook: With so many seniors departed from last year�s playoff team, Choctaw will turn to a host of new faces in 2013-14 with Lawton leading the pack.
Guard, 6-1, Senior
Statistically speaking: On a team loaded with talented guards, Carnley was second on the team with an average of 13.1 points per game and he connected on 76-of-177 from 3-point range, good for a 43-percent clip.
2013 outlook: With the graduation of All-Area guard Dustin Geoghagen, Carnley will step into the spotlight as a primary scorer for the Bobcats, who look to make another playoff run in 2013-14.
Guard, 6-0, Sophomore
Coach says: �He has a high basketball IQ and he�s one of the better shooters we�ve got. Last year, he made big shot after big shot for us. I think he has a great future ahead of him.� � Niceville head coach Jerome Strutchen
Statistically speaking: Morken was Niceville�s third-leading scorer as a freshman a year ago, and he led the Eagles in 3-pointers attempted and 3-pointers made.
2013 outlook: Now a sophomore, Morken has transitioned into being one of Niceville�s primary scorers, and the Eagles will go as far as he carries them.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The arena for publicly traded 3D printing companies is about to get a little more crowded this week when Voxeljet AG enters the fray with an IPO that could raise almost $100 million for the Freidberg, Germany-based company.
Voxeljet VJET, +0.00% is on tap to price 6.5 million shares on Thursday night, in a range of $13 to $15 a share, and start trading publicly Friday morning. The company claims that, due to the size of its printing boxes and speeds, it offers its customers the highest volume output possible in the 3D printing market. The company intends to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "VJET."
When it filed to go public, Voxeljet said that for its 2012 fiscal year it earned $276,000 on $11.3 million in sales. Revenues grew by 20% from the previous fiscal year.
3D printers are gaining popularity in the manufacturing sector, in particular, as the devices are commonly used to create solid models of products in businesses such as the automotive, medical and industrial design industries. Over the past few years, as technologies have improved, 3D priting company's have met with strong responses from investors.
In February, ExOne Co. XONE, -0.49% went public at $18 a share, and rose to a high of $78.80 on August 13. However, a weaker-than-expected earnings report in August, and a 3 million-share secondary stock offering in September, which diluted the value of ExOne's shares on the open market, have conspired to bring the company's stock price down to its current price of $53.78.
Among other leading 3D printing companies, 3D Systems Corp. DDD, +1.25% has seen its shares rise 59% this year, while Stratasys Ltd. SSYS, +0.10% is up more than 36%.
Wall Street has largely been giving a thumbs-up to the sector. In late August, Citigroup set buy ratings for 3D Systems and Stratasys, with analyst Kenneth Wong saying the sector "is on the cusp of seeing much broader adoption across more upstream production applications and the consumer end market," which could triple the size of the market within 5 years.
A few weeks later, Credit Suisse started coverage of the group with a buy rating for 3D Systems and a neutral call on Stratasys. ExOne was given a bearish underperform rating, with the broker citing in part a "rich valuation."

Last week, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi issued a constitutional decree that sought to place himself above the rule of law until a new constitution is drafted.
His decree has been followed by violent protests throughout Egypt, by citizens who fear that Morsi's Egypt is beginning to closely resemble the dictatorship under Mubarak.
Interestingly, these protests follow a shining moment in Morsi's five months as President, as he helped establish the ceasefire in Gaza.
Time Magazine interviewed Morsi, covering all of these recent events.
Here are some of the highlights.
On Egyptian-US Relations:
"I don't like people in my country to say, 'The US is against us,' because I know the American people are different from these positions that have been taken for a long time."
"I want to...have a very strong bridge between us, between the Middle East, Middle Eastern people, and east and west, and certain balance."
On democracy:
When discussing his time spent in the US (Morsi received a PhD from the University of Southern California in 1982), Morsi says he learned the phrase 'we are a nation of all nations,' which to him means "we can all live together."
"People in the world are realizing that freedom is better than dictatorship."
On the Muslim Brotherhood's political practices:
The Muslim Brotherhood "by definition" is a "democratic organization," which stems from the belief in equality, which is "not only [present] in America."
"I'm very keen on having true freedom of expression. True freedom of faith. And free practice of religious faith. I am keen and I will always be keen on exchange [transfer] of power."
On the controversy of last week's decree:
"What I can see now is that Egyptians are free." The Egyptians are exercising their right to the freedom of expression and Morsi is "not worried" because the Egyptians are "learning. We are learning how to be free...We're learning how to debate. How to differ."
[The writing of the constitution is] "a first experiment....So what do you expect? Things to go very smooth? No. It has to be rough, at least."
[The democratic institution isn't pulling apart] because "peacefully expressing opposition is very healthy. It's very important. But not violently. And violence is related to, as I said, the old regime, some way or other."
"I know perfectly what it means to have separation between the three powers, executive power, legislative power, and the judiciary."
Finally, Morsi is up on his American pop culture, as evidenced by his reference of the film Planet of the Apes, saying "The old version, not the new one. There is new one. Which is different. Not so good."

One ship, two ships, it's Dr. Seuss on cruise ships! Carnival Cruise Lines today unveiled an exclusive partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to bring the beloved children's brand and favorite characters to the line's fleet of 24 "Fun Ships.†In an industry first, the Carnival Seuss at Sea program will offer a variety of exciting and immersive onboard youth, family, dining and entertainment experiences featuring the amazing world and words of Dr. Seuss.
"It is fun to have fun but you have to know how,†said the Cat in the Hat in the iconic Dr. Seuss book. The fun on Carnival starts in the main dining room during The Green Eggs and Ham Breakfast with the Cat in the Hat and Friends. Attendees will have the opportunity to kick off their day dining on playful foods straight from Dr. Seuss's imagination – green eggs and ham, moose juice and goose juice, along with colorful fruit and pancake stacks, funky French toast and more, with traditional breakfast favorites also available. While Carnival's wait staff set the tone with Dr. Seuss-inspired uniforms, popular Dr. Seuss characters such as the Cat in the Hat, Thing One and Thing Two, and Sam will be joining guests at their tables for fun interactions and one-of-a-kind photo opportunities. Hosted on the first sea day of each cruise, this special breakfast will be available for $5 per guest.
Every ship in the Carnival fleet will have a selection of classic Dr. Seuss books, toys and themed activities for children to enjoy. Special showings of beloved movies such as "The Cat in the Hat†and Dr. Seuss's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas†will be shown outdoors on the giant screen of the Seaside Theater on Lido Deck as part of the cruise line's Dive-In Movies programming. On Carnival Freedom, which is undergoing a major refurbishment in May, and Carnival Vista, which debuts in early 2016, there will be a Dr. Seuss Bookville facility — a unique and dedicated Seuss-themed play space featuring iconic décor, colors, shapes and funky furniture inspired by the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss. The perfect place for families to relax, unwind and enjoy each other's company, guests can read one of many available Dr. Seuss books or stretch their imagination through other family-fun activities including arts and crafts, toys and Dr. Seuss-inspired games.
Story time at sea will never be the same with the introduction of Seuss-a-palooza Story Time, A Rhyming Good Time – an interactive reading event that brings to life the colorful world of Dr. Seuss for kids of all ages. Hosted on a sea day each voyage in a custom-created environment on board or within Dr. Seuss Bookville, this memorable storytelling event will feature some of the most beloved Dr. Seuss characters.
At other times during the voyage, children and families will have the chance to meet and interact with favorite Dr. Seuss characters and participate in special photo opportunities featuring colorful and zany Dr. Seuss-inspired artwork, as well as through events and activities such as the Seuss-a-palooza Character Parade where guests can join Dr. Seuss characters in a swirly conga line along the Promenade. A variety of Dr. Seuss-themed retail items will be available, as well.
The Seuss at Sea initiative builds upon Carnival's leadership position in family cruising. The line carries more than 700,000 kids aboard its fleet each year — nearly half of the total number of kids carried by the entire North American cruise industry.
"Our youth and family programming continues to be highly rated and extremely popular with the millions of families who sail with Carnival, but we're constantly challenging ourselves to uncover unique and interesting ways to further enhance our guest experience,†said Mark Tamis, senior vice president of guest operations for Carnival Cruise Lines. "We are thrilled to bring the fun, whimsical and wonderful world of Dr. Seuss to life for our guests of all ages to create even more fun and memorable moments during our cruise vacations.â€
"Dr. Seuss inspires imaginations across generations and encourages a playfulness and whimsy that is often lost in today's 'always on' society,†said Susan Brandt, president of Dr. Seuss Enterprises. "We're excited to be working with Carnival Cruise Lines to bring some of the timeless magic of Dr. Seuss to the families that sail each year. Seuss at Sea will let kids and parents alike explore their imaginations through the memorable onboard experiences we're building together.â€
Roll-out of the Seuss at Sea program will begin aboard Carnival Splendor in February 2014 with implementation across the full fleet by 2015, as well as Carnival Vista when that ship enters service in early 2016.

SI worker complaints
Injured workers of self-insuring employers can notify us of specific concerns in the management of their claim. Our goal is to investigate the issue and resolve it promptly and fairly. We will maintain a record of all findings which will be included in evaluating the employer's fitness to maintain its self-insuring privilege. Ohio Administrative Code rule 4123-19-09 governs the complaint process pertaining to self-insuring employers.
An injured worker or representative may file a complaint as a party to the claim. The statement should clearly outline the issue(s) and provide supporting documentation. The injured worker or representative may use the Allegation Against a Self-Insuring Employer (SI-28) or a clear written statement.
Mail: Bureau of Workers' Compensation
Attn: Self-Insured Department
30 W. Spring St
Columbus, OH 43215-2256
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Fax: 614-621-1081
Upon receipt of a complaint, our self-insured staff sends a notification letter to the employer's designated administrator, assigned representatives, claimant and claimant's representative. It requests that the employer provide a written response to the allegation within 14 days of receipt.
The employer may, with good cause, request an extension for providing a response by contacting the assigned BWC representative. We investigate the allegation(s) to determine the validity of the complaint and send notification to all parties to the claim. Within 14 days of receipt of the BWC decision, all parties to a complaint may file a written request for reconsideration. The reconsideration must include evidence of new or changed information not considered in the initial decision. BWC conducts a second-level administrative review to address the complaint reconsideration in light of the additional information and notifies all parties to the complaint of the outcome of this reconsideration investigation and evaluation.
Any unresolved issues and appeals to the administrator's designee's finding will go to Self-Insured Employers Evaluation Board (SIEEB).
