The 2008 election cycle is turning out to be a bonanza for political junkies from across the ideological spectrum, as an open field and roller-coaster primaries in both major parties have combined to increase primary voter turnout to record levels. This massive turnout, which may well be a preview of what we can expect in November's contest, has functioned as a large-scale stress test on an electronic voting infrastructure that's fragmented, fragile, and still in flux.
As the year progresses, I'll be zeroing in on different aspects of electronic voting in a series of posts aimed at keeping you up to speed and preparing you to read the pre- and post-election press coverage with a critical eye. The first issue that I want to tackle in this post is fundamental for election integrity, and its importance is typically underestimated by reporters who are focused on the more spectacular "hacking"-related narratives that will probably be a persistent feature of America's election coverage from here on out. This issue is ballot chain of custody, and it's absolutely critical.
Chain of custody and burden of proof
In a criminal trial, the state must prove the defendant's guilt to the satisfaction of a jury; in an election, the state must prove its own innocence to the satisfaction of the public. Both scenarios place the burden of proof on the state, and in both of them the state's case will rest on evidence; that evidence must be beyond reproach.
In a nutshell, "chain of custody" is about establishing who has had their hands on some important piece of physical evidence that must not be tampered with. This could be evidence in a court case, or it could be evidence of voter intent, i.e. a marked ballot. If you can't firmly establish that only authorized, trusted parties have handled a ballot from the moment that it left the voter's hands and entered the lock-box, then you can't be certain that nobody tampered with that ballot to change its vote.
If at any point ballots are left either unattended or unsecured, then it's possible that someone could have tampered with them. The mere existence of that possibility precludes the establishment of a certain chain-of-custody—the two are mutually exclusive.
If the state can't demonstrate a secure chain of custody for the ballots in an election, then the public (if it's paying attention) can't have the level of confidence in the integrity of that election that it deserves to be able to have.
A crucial difference
There's one crucial difference between chain-of custody for ballots and chain-of-custody for forensic evidence: evidence only needs to be secured after a crime, but ballots, whether they're in paper form or in the form of memory cards that go into e-voting machines, have to be secured both before and after their use.
In the case of paper ballots, bad actors with access to blank ballots could mark them and then carry out a ballot stuffing attack, where they sneak a bunch of bogus ballots in with the legit ballots and alter the vote count. In cases where the vote is recorded electronically on memory cards that are inserted into an e-voting machine before an election and then removed afterwards, bad actors can slip malicious software onto the memory cards that alters the vote totals while the vote is still in progress. Either way, it's important for election officials to ensure that that blank paper ballots and blank memory cards stay blank until a qualified voter—and only a voter—marks them.
Chain of custody gone wrong: the case of New Hampshire
For a real-world case where the ballot chain-of-custody issue was a complete and unmitigated disaster, look no further than last month's New Hampshire state primaries. Bev Harris and her team of activists went to New Hampshire with cameras in hand, and they captured on video a perfect storm of arrogance, indifference, and incompetence on the part of New Hampshire's elections officials.
The videos are worth watching, and if you care about America they'll put a lump in your throat. In short, Harris found unsecured ballots, ballot boxes with "tamper-proof" tape that was anything but, ballots being transported by shady private contractors, and elections officials for whom "transparency" and "oversight" are completely alien concepts.

If the ballot chain of custody situation in the other 49 states is even one third as appalling as it is in New Hampshire, then we're in for quite a mess in the case of a close general election in November. I, for one, pray for a landslide blowout, because in an even remotely close election the prospects that state governments will be able to meet the burden of proof that the public will demand is passing dim.
Conclusions: watch the watchmen
If you're a member of the media who's covering the elections beat, then grill elections officials about chain of custody and report the results to the public. The "hacking" stories may sell papers and draw traffic, but chain-of-custody issues are just as critical. And if you're a concerned citizen, then get involved. Check out the links below, sign up to be an election observer, start worrying about pre-election ballot security right now, and on November 8 make sure your video camera is fully charged and ready to go.

A class action suit has been raised against Apple claiming Siri does not appear to work as advertised. Siri was launched as a key feature of the iPhone 4S however it has always carried the tag of beta software. This has not deterred a New York man from suing Apple for false advertising over Siri's capabilities. Frank M.Fazio purchased his iPhone 4S back in November and is now part of a class of people who feel mislead by Apple.
In many of Apple's television advertisements, individuals are shown using Siri to make appointments, find restaurants, and even learn the guitar chords to classic rock songs or how to tie a tie. In the commercials, all of these tasks are done with ease with the assistance of the iPhone 4S's Siri feature, a represented functionality contrary to the actual operating results and performance of Siri.
The case claims that Siri is much less responsive than shown in the advertisements even though Apple issues a disclaimer stating that the service's sequences were shortened for advertising purposes. The lawsuit asks for unspecified damages and claims Siri is "at best, a work-in-progress". Isn't that the same thing as a beta?

if you do your part and lycra stitching together, and you put it open, the lycra comes under your side of the lace stitch it with a zigzag stitch (2/2) and your closing is on the other side but it's well done :))

Thanks! Sorry…. there must be something lost in translation here… not sure what you are explaining. Perhaps you're saying the lace is sewn incorrectly to the fabric on the front? If I were to sew the two raw edges on the inside towards the lace it would show through on the front. Perhaps you intended to communicate something else?
Apr 30, 2013, 01.22 PMby carolientje
yes on the front, so it isn't so thick, and it wil feel better,
sorry for my bad english ;)

I really like feedback! (And your English is a thousand times better then anything I could do with your native language!!) It always helps make my work better each time! I think I see what you are saying… fold the lace towards the lace… fold the lycra towards the lycra… then top stitch each. I see what you mean. I will do this next time. Thank you!
Apr 30, 2013, 04.22 PMby carolientje
you fold not open, all your lycra has to be under the lace, here is a good blog with lots of information: poetsie.blogspot.com (it's in dutch) and this blog: http://simoneannemone.blogspot.nl/p/mijn-tutorials.html

On Capitol Hill last week, AAFP leaders more than made up for a round of congressional visits scheduled for last month that had to be cancelled because of the federal government shutdown. In a span of less than two days, Academy officers and staff tallied up more than a dozen visits with key legislators, congressional staff members and regulatory heads to discuss issues ranging from repeal and replacement of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) to the current timetable for implementation of meaningful use stage two requirements.
AAFP President Reid Blackwelder, M.D., left, emphasizes the need for Medicare physician payment reform during a Nov. 19 meeting with Rep. Phil Roe, M.D., R.-Tenn.
AAFP President Reid Blackwelder, M.D., of Kingsport, Tenn., started things off when he and Academy EVP Douglas Henley, M.D., paid a visit to the office of Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., on Nov. 19. Isakson sits on the Senate Finance and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committees, so the conversation naturally turned to a bipartisan, bicameral proposal currently being floated by the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees that aims to repeal the SGR and replace it with alternative payment models that focus on quality of care, such as the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model.
After extensive deliberation that included soliciting and carefully considering input from Academy members, the AAFP recently expressed its support for the SGR proposal -- which, it's important to note, is not a bill but a so-called discussion draft -- while at the same time offering recommendations to improve it.
Story Highlights
- Top AAFP leaders were on Capitol Hill last week, meeting with key legislators and congressional staff to discuss numerous issues important to family medicine.
- A bipartisan, bicameral proposal to repeal and replace the sustainable growth rate was a high-priority topic.
- Also on the table were various workforce issues, including funding for Title VII primary care health professions training grants and the National Health Service Corps.
In addition to repealing the SGR and moving to replace it with more quality-oriented payment models, the draft proposal
- provides financial support to assist small practices with practice transformation,
- directs the Government Accountability Office to study the AMA/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee processes for making recommendations on how physician services are valued,
- establishes care-coordination codes in the Medicare physician fee schedule, and
- consolidates three existing quality and process improvement programs into a single program.
One particular aspect of the proposal that stands out as needing improvement, however, is a 10-year freeze on Medicare physician payments. In a letter to the Senate Finance and House Ways and Means committees(7 page PDF), the AAFP countered that prospect by recommending higher baseline payments for primary care services.
Despite the current proposal's imperfections, said Blackwelder, it does offer hope that the SGR debacle can be settled once and for all.
"There is truly a sense that in a bipartisan, bicameral fashion, we can move this off the table and finally repeal the SGR," Blackwelder told AAFP News Now. Doing so is essential, he added, because it is only by resolving the yearly Medicare payment melodrama that the SGR has precipitated for the past decade that the Academy can move forward on other important advocacy fronts. "We can't get anything else done; all other areas of advocacy depend upon that finally being resolved."
SGR repeal and opportunities for Medicare physician payment reform were topics that Blackwelder, along with AAFP Board Chair Jeff Cain, M.D., of Denver, and President-elect Robert Wergin, M.D., of Milford, Neb., would address with other congressional leaders and staff during their time on the Hill.
Cain said he, too, emphasized the critical need to repeal the SGR in his visits with lawmakers and staff, although he acknowledged the difficulties inherent in bringing all parties to the table to achieve that goal.
"Not only do the annual threats of up to 24 percent payment cuts threaten patient care, but these potential cuts make it very hard for family doctors to plan for the investments necessary to transform our practices into the new models of PCMH care and invest in the electronic health record technology we need to have better patient care," Cain told AAFP News Now. "It's important to know that our country has now spent more for annual temporary SGR patches over the last decade than we actually would have to pay to be able to fix it permanently."
AAFP President-elect Robert Wergin, M.D., far right, leads a discussion about meaningful use requirements with Acting National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Jacob Reider, M.D., third from left. Reider and his staff met with Academy leaders and staff on Nov. 20.
Moreover, Cain added in his message to members of Congress, as the system moves away from fee-for-service and toward advanced payment models, "We have to make certain we are able to help bring the small private practices along because they find it the most challenging to be able to make those investments." The way to do that, he noted, is to increase the amount of support for small practices.
Cain, in turn, heard an important message from lawmakers: "They stressed to us that if it is important to family doctors to fix the SGR system, they need to hear from our members now. Because if there isn't a member response, then other people who have skin in this game -- hospitals, the pharmaceutical industries -- are there ready and willing to pick us apart."
Although the SGR took center stage in discussions on the Hill, other issues also came to the fore during the trip to Washington.
For example, Wergin headed up a Nov. 20 meeting with Acting National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Jacob Reider, M.D., during which Academy leaders reiterated an earlier call to revise the current aggressive timeframe for compliance with meaningful use stage two requirements.
According to a letter sent last August to CMS and the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health IT, the AAFP's prime concern with the current implementation deadlines set by CMS and the ONC is that physicians will be unable to obtain the certified electronic health record technology (CEHRT) products, training and support required to meaningfully use 2014 CEHRT in their practices "while continuing to provide the high levels of safety, quality and service that their patients deserve." In its letter, the AAFP outlined a plan that would extend the timeline for compliance with meaningful use stage two requirements by 12 months. Last week's meeting allowed stakeholders from the Academy and the ONC to further explore that plan face-to-face.
Among other concerns Academy leaders addressed during their congressional visits were the effects of sequestration on family physicians who provide Medicare services and their patients. Workforce issues were also on the table, with the AAFP officers laying out the Academy's support for funding Health Resources and Services Administration Title VII primary care health professions training grants, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's work on primary care research, and the National Health Service Corps. These programs, they noted, are vital to ensuring access to high-quality health care for patients in medically underserved communities throughout the nation.
Nowhere was that concern for patients more evident than during a conversation Blackwelder had with one of his own congressional representatives, Rep. Phil Roe, M.D., R-Tenn. As an OB/Gyn, Roe has a grasp of the issues physicians face on a daily basis that few of his colleagues in Congress can match. He also has a keen understanding of the importance of primary care workforce issues, according to Blackwelder.
Generally speaking, said Blackwelder, "There's a good recognition on the Hill of the need to address what we call the triple aim -- the quadruple aim, really -- which is to improve patient outcomes, improve the patient experience of health care, improve our experience of that process and, overall, decrease cost and risks."

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Tom Hall: "... how terrific my Dad's illustrations were"
"I have just discovered your website and blog.....Tom Hall was my father. It is quite fascinating to me that someone would be interested in my dad's artwork after all these years."
This was exciting news for me! Tom Hall was one of the first artists I became aware of when I began studying mid-century illustration. Unfortunately, he was also one of those artists about whom there was really no information available. Hall's daughter, Nan, had discovered a post I wrote here on the TI blog - and proceeded to fill me in on her dad's career...
"So many of the illustrators mentioned really bring back memories of my childhood and youth (Al Dorne got me my first job in NYC a zillion years ago!). It is really too bad my father was not very good about PR re: himself and, while it breaks my heart that he is not in any of the anthologies of illustration, it is great that illustrators today know his name. He was considered a pretty big deal in Chicago in the 40s and 50s."
"A brief bio : He was born in 1908 and lived in most of his life in Chicago, Illinois (except for a period early on when he was around 20 yrs. old that he lived in New York City). He attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago but I'm not sure when that happened. His first job was at Vogue Wright Studios - I think they did a lot of clothing catalog work - where he first got to put the hi-lights on buttons and then graduated to herringbone patterns and the stitching on jeans. On his first day at work they sent him to all the art stores to buy vanishing points - the stores were in on the gag and told him they had run out of them but so and so might have them. Kind of a dirty trick but also kind of funny. He got to pull it on the next poor sucker that came to work on his first day."
"Anyhow, I think that is how he began doing men's fashion illustration. I guess that is what he was most known for. As I said, he did work in New York early on. At some point he was asked to become a member of the Society of Illustrators. Whenever he was in New York he always went there and spoke often of Ted, their bartender, who always knew him - and everyone - by name, even if they didn't go there very often."
"He really tried to make Chicago the center of illustration in the late 40's and 50's. He had a studio called Stevens, Hall, Biondi with Barry Stevens as the rep. I think Reno Biondi was another artist. I think after that he was a part of Verne Smith, Inc."
"One (or both?) occupied one of the McCormick mansions on Rush Street" [Note: see SHB ad above] "and they had everyone under one roof - artists, reps, photographers, lettering men, etc. I think Austin Briggs was part of the stable and I will have to think a bit to come up with other names."
"He was most known for men's fashion illustrations and did Hart Schaffner and Marx men's clothing ads for at least 18 years. They have some of the originals in their corporate offices in Chicago which I visited quite a few years ago when my son was attending the Art Institute. I have many, many tear sheets of those and other ads that he did. (My mother was his clippings person and she dutifully tore them out of the Post, Colliers, etc.)."
At this point Nan and I lost touch for some time. My plans to present a week on Tom Hall were shelved as I turned my attention to other illustrators and their stories. Then, a few months ago, a new email arrived from Nan:
"Hello Leif, I am Tom Hall's daughter - we emailed briefly quite a while ago. Now that I am retired I have more time to devote to putting together a book about my Dad's illustrations and art work. In some ways, your blog is partly responsible for my undertaking the project since, while I knew how terrific my Dad's illustrations were and how popular they were back then, I had no idea anyone else even knew about him!"
For now, Nan says she only intends her book about here dad to be for the family. "I am doing it for my children - who were born after Dad died in 1965 - and my grandchildren since there really is no one else to tell the story," she wrote. Hopefully Nan will consider making it available to the public at some point in the future.

Beautiful stuff!The Schlitz ad at the top is especially nice.I like his use of color.ReplyDelete
Great post!ReplyDelete
It is hard to find much about him, especially if you're not living in America. I recall seeing some of his illustrations during a class at the academy where I study.
It would be wonderful to have a book on the market with a lot of Mr Hall's work in it!

Why don't you help her with her book. Unless of course, you decide to shelve Tom Hall again.ReplyDelete
Hahaha... oh Anonymous - great idea... I'll just add "Help Tom Hall's daughter with her book" to my "To Do" list! ;^)ReplyDelete
No in all seriousness, I heard back from Tom Hall's daughter and she has already published her first version of the book - the version she created as a keepsake for her children and grandchildren. Nan tells me that when she does her revised version she'll let me know. And I plan to let you all know so those who are interested in purchasing a copy may do so.ReplyDelete

Hello Leif, Just wondering, do you know of someone named Ted Wright? I found an illustration of his on the streets of NYC, West Village, a few years ago, left on the sidewalk for trash. Of course, I kept it. It's dated 5/2/54. Can't seem to find him anywhere. Have you heard of him?ReplyDelete

Looking at the list, it appears that iCloud could be a lot more than just a music locker. Reading between the lines, you could be forgiven for believing that this could be the start of iTunes online. The need to tether your iOS device to a MAC or PC to sync, activate or update could soon be a thing of the past.
The domain iCloud.com has also now officially been taken over by Apple. The previous owner, Xcerion has now been replaced by Apple Inc. Xcerion are rumored to have received around £4.5 million for the domain. Apple has also taken the domain iCloud.org.

kde swag, finally! :) i've always wanted one of those blue shirts with a gear on.. :)
but what happened to it? some iconic guy/heart got added to it? I prefer the simple K+gear.
Great initiative, good job!

There are options
There are also shirts with just the K/gear logo - ideas are welcome if they those ones don't suit you.
We liked the heart-KDE logo, but there's a selection with and without because nothing is ever to everyone's taste.

Reinventing The Wheel
EP Editorial Staff | December 2, 1997
A new look at the maintenance work management process
The goal of work management is lowest cost reliability, which has two parts: equipment reliability and human reliability. Equipment reliability is the final result–where the bottom line is improved by increased production output and lower operating and maintenance costs. Human reliability is the set of activities that leads to those results. Success is measured in terms of equipment reliability, but it is human reliability that is actually managed.
The wheel is the story of work management, not maintenance. Many departments work together to create reliability; the maintenance department is just one of them. Production, engineering, materials, and administration departments are all vital members of the work management team. The wheel needs to be reinvented to help the team understand its role in the process and the goal of the process as a whole.
The pain zone
Work management begins with work identification. Suddenly an alarm is raised! Production (or safety or the environment) is threatened and an emergency is declared. The pain zone hurts because it costs money. Production output is lost. Labor and materials that could have been used on other jobs are lost.
The ability to declare an emergency is a big hammer for the production department. The problem with having a big hammer is that everything starts to look like a nail. Emergencies are declared for pet equipment, for spare equipment, or just to make production feel safe. A big red nail on the wheel signifies the pain zone.
In terms of human reliability, the pain zone hurts for two reasons. First, the schedule is interrupted. Second, the production department makes this decision alone. When the production department is forced to decide by itself that work needs to be done, the advantage of joint prioritization is lost Decisions are not made in the best interest of the whole plant.
Joint prioritization
The large crescent on the right side of the wheel illustrates that teamwork must be an underlying theme of the way work is planned, scheduled, and accomplished. It also points out the difference between priorities and prioritization. Priority is an initial code for work urgency, while prioritization is the process of deciding the actual order in which work will be done.
In the work identification step, an initial priority identifies the urgency of the work. The value of the priority code is to separate emergencies from nonemergencies. Though a priority code can help organize work in the backlog, it does not determine the actual order in which nonemergency work will be performed.
Once work passes through the pain zone and into the backlog, the process of joint prioritization begins, and it does not end until the work is accomplished. Prioritization takes into account the impact the job has on output and the availability of labor, materials, and equipment to do the job.
Joint prioritization means that departments make decisions together. Production, maintenance, and engineering departments should meet weekly to decide the order in which jobs will be done. Decisions should be documented in published schedules. Then, schedules should be kept by tagging out equipment on time, completing a design for a scheduled job on time, or starting jobs on time and doing them well so they do not require rework. Joint prioritization goes all the way through the work accomplishment step because the real importance of a particular job is determined by when the job actually gets done.
Productivity zone
Money is made in the productivity zone. Planning and scheduling are the primary sources of productivity in the work management process. They are tightly linked but entirely separate. Planning answers the "what" and "how" about a job; scheduling answers the "who" and "when." Jointly answering these questions in advance provides a powerful machine for doing exactly the right work in exactly the right way at exactly the right time.
Productivity means that:
- Jobs are worked according to schedule
- Crafts and foremen do not have to chase parts or prints
- Production equipment is tagged out and cleaned for maintenance workers
- Multiple crafts on a single job are sequenced and coordinated
- Cranes, scaffolding, and transportation are ready when needed
- Job steps and permits are part of the work order package.
Productivity is the result of good planning and scheduling. The planning half of the productivity zone anticipates common obstacles to work accomplishment. Key activities include job scoping and assuring parts availability. The scheduling half of the productivity zone smoothly combines prioritized jobs and resources such as crafts, extra shifts, permits, and access to production equipment. Key activities include labor availability forecasting and long-range and daily scheduling.
The best way to define productivity is doing exactly the right work in exactly the right way at exactly the right time:
- Choosing jobs that have the biggest impact on reliability in the long run will lead to "exactly the right work" being accomplished.
- Working from a plan and allowing time to do quality work rather than slapping on Band-Aids is the way to do work "exactly the right way."
- Matching labor and equipment availability, and scheduling the job just when the equipment condition or performance will be affected, will result in doing work at "exactly the right time."
Productivity is often associated with the work accomplishment step, where the job is actually done. But the amount of productivity gained in that step is small compared to planning and scheduling. Some time is lost due to late starts, early quits, poor training, or incompetence. But most lost time is due to job obstacles such as missing parts or unavailable production equipment.
Daily schedule compliance Daily schedule compliance, the most important measure in work management, is the percent of actual labor hours devoted to scheduled work. Complying with the daily schedule is the payoff for being good at all the steps on the wheel. If the steps are done well, daily schedule compliance must improve. Plus, if daily schedule compliance improves, then exactly the right work is being done in exactly the right way at exactly the right time, and that generates productivity, reliability, and dollars for the bottom line.
Collect and use data
The black hole is where data goes to die. Craftsmen provide data that will make jobs easier to plan or execute, then never see it again. They write parts lists, readings, or equipment condition notes on the current work order, but do not see them print out on the next work order. Finally they give up and provide perfunctory data or no data at all.
Climbing out of the black hole requires using data to measure performance and analyze root cause, showing the results to crafts and foremen, or making sure relevant history prints out on the next work order. When data is visibly and productively used, crafts will provide it willingly.
Proactivity zone
Going out and finding work instead of waiting for it to find you is proactive. Any technique to identify work early is useful whether it is technical (for example, vibration analysis) or human (work history analysis). This connects the last step on the wheel with the first step and leads to continuous improvement.
Proactive programs such as preventive and predictive maintenance, condition-based maintenance, reliability-centered maintenance, and total productive maintenance help identify work early and perform work just in time. The results of being proactive are:
- Preventive maintenance frequencies make sense
- PMs are done on critical equipment, not all equipment
- Many predictive maintenance techniques are used–especially vibration, lube oil analysis, and thermography
- Predictive maintenance procedures successfully predict failures just prior to occurrence
- Critical systems are identified first and critical equipment follows from that
- Work is done according to actual equipment condition, not because of calendar or run time
- Operators routinely perform minor maintenance.
The proactivity zone is about avoidance rather than repair. In the proactivity zone, the cycle of emergencies is broken. In its place is a cycle of failure prevention. Proactive maintenance skips the pain zone, starts prioritizing jointly, and taps the power of the productivity zone.
Problem solving
The back half of the wheel is designed to solve problems. Information is discovered in the work accomplishment step, recorded in the documentation step, and used in the analysis and measurement step.
The second crescent is a reminder that the wheel needs the lubrication of problem solving to turn fast and smoothly. It also says that problem solving makes the wheel solid. If problems are not solved, the wheel disintegrates. Each step of the wheel is connected with the next. Each zone is dependent on all the others. The entire work management process must be strong at every step and in every zone to achieve lowest cost reliability.
Work culture
The work management process is surrounded by an organization's culture. Culture is pervasive and powerful; it influences every action and every decision. It exists whether management actively cultivates it or not.
Culture is people. It is the person making the decision and the people taken into consideration as the decision is made. People make decisions for technical reasons (the process) and for personal reasons (the culture).
Process and culture are equally strong. If they are not aligned, they pull people in different directions. People want to do the right thing, but are confronted with limitations. Do not force them to decide between process and culture–the company will always lose.
- When process and culture are not aligned, people are:
- Torn, and they compromise their decisions
- Impeded, and they have to take the long way around
- Blocked, and they stop and wait.
Each of these interferes with work management. The static and noise of culture starts to obscure the process picture. Eventually the interference becomes so strong that the process is barely visible. Technical reasons for decisions are lost and decisions are made for personal reasons. That is not good for work management, for management credibility, or for the business as a whole because this same culture affects all the processes in the business.
If the work management process is done well, lower cost reliability can be achieved, but only by aligning process and culture. MT

Mad Cow Disease, or Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy (BSE), is a progressive neurological disorder of cattle that can be transmitted to other species, including humans. The human equivalent of this disease, Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease, causes memory loss, emotional instability, severe dementia and death, often within a year.
Cases of Mad Cow Disease occur in the U.S. each year, yet regulators only test 40,000 of the 35 million cattle slaughtered annually. In Europe, all older cattle are tested for Mad Cow Disease, and in Japan every cow slaughtered for human consumption is tested.
We demand that the U.S. government adopt and enforce mandatory testing for all cattle brought to slaughter and a ban on feeding blood, manure, and slaughterhouse waste to animals.

If one learns of themselves through adversity, then maybe the Mets learned last night Jenrry Mejia might not be ready for primetime.
Last night's main storyline emerged from the rubble of John Maine's performance the previous night which prompted the question: If not Maine, then who?
Of course, Mejia's name surfaced, but he's not sufficiently stretched out to be the starter some in the organization want him to be. Jerry Manuel, however, wants him in the major leagues now as a reliever.
But, he's been used in mop-up, low pressure situation because he's not ready. Well, that was until last night. Enter Mejia in the tenth inning. Exit Chris Iannetta's drive for from the park for a game-winning homer.
Mejia has a world of talent, but he's not ready for the major leagues in primetime. The organization is divided on his role. Some, read Omar Minaya, want him at the beginning of the game. Manuel wants him in the late innings.
But, if he's here, he shouldn't be protected. He should be ready to pitch, but last night showed there are questions.
That's what I took out of last night: The indecision over Mejia.

This dress, made of maroon velvet and ribbed silk, was purchased in 1888 by Mrs. Joseph Wells Stevens. Mrs. Stevens was the wife of Joseph Wells Stevens, an active resident of Greenfield. The dress, which is in very good condition, still retains the label of the Boston shop where it was purchased, C.E. Lee, located on Boylston Street. The practice of dressmakers stitching labels inside their creations only began about the middle to end of the 1800s. Hand-stiched and machine-sewn, it was worn with a matching bonnet and illustrates an up-to-the-minute fashion for the late 1880s. By this time, the bustle had all but disappeared. In this case only a vestigial bustle remains, built-in to the lower back area of the separate petticoat to provide skirt fullness. There is no waist seam; instead the fit is achieved through a princess line silhouette, with vertical seams piecing eight separate pieces make up the bodice, a testimony to intricate tailoring.

"My dog loves the balls "
Believe it or not I had 8 of these balls. My dog loves playing with them and we are down to 1. He chases something when we go out and has the ball in his mouth and comes back without it. Yes, the squeaker comes out, but so do all the balls I have bought him. I'm so glad I found you guys. I've been searching for them for months. Thank you and I hope you keep them in stock.
"Great design, mediocre quality."
Would be 5 stars if the squeaker didn't break the first day. My lab still loves it for the unique spikey texture but it would be better if the squeaker still worked.

Let me just get this out of the way before I begin: I'm a little embarrassed by this meal. Not because it took 10 minutes to make, but because it came entirely from things that were already packaged and it tasted… well, not bad, but certainly not like I made any great effort. I bet you can't wait to sign up, huh?
So why I am telling you about it? Because we've all been there, haven't we? Even in New York City, where you can get anything delivered at any moment's notice, there are days when one more meal that arrives in plastic-lidded foil containers will send you over the edge. I made this on one of those days. It was 8 p.m., we were both starving and I had one chance to ask Alex to grab something at the store on his way home and I didn't want to miss it. So I Googled probably one of those most popular searches on the Internet, "10 minute meals" and, well, that pretty much brings us up to today.
Before I get into all of the things I'd do differently next time (you know, besides "try for once to plan ahead for dinner") you should know that we cleaned our plates. A lime-y slaw with bits of feta and cumin-scented black beans in a pan-crisped tortilla are nothing to complain about for dinner. In fact, I like all of those elements a lot, especially when I can get them on my plate in time for Top Chef. Where, ahem, I can't resist pointing out that a whole lot of the food didn't look half this good.
Crispy Black Bean Tacos with Feta and Cabbage Slaw
Adapted from Bon Appetit, February 2009
There are dozens of ways to tweak this. Next time, in keeping with the shortcut vibe, I might just use Goya's canned black beans in sauce (which I've confessed to loving more than once) instead of mashing a can with what seemed like not enough seasoning next time. And, with the minutes that would save, I'd much rather use my favorite green onion and red cabbage slaw instead of the suggested one. If I felt like adding some extra protein, it would only take a couple additional minutes to saute some ground meat in a pan with onion and stir it into the beans — especially the saucier ones. But really, the possibilities are endless, so use the recipe as a loose guideline and have fun with it
Serves 4, or so I hear
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained
1 teaspoon ground cumin
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice
2 cups coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 white or yellow corn tortillas
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
Hot sauce
Place beans and cumin in small bowl; partially mash. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix 2 teaspoons olive oil and lime juice in medium bowl; add coleslaw, green onions, and cilantro and toss to coat. Season slaw to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add tortillas in single layer. Spoon 1/4 of bean mixture onto half of each tortilla; cook 1 minute. Fold tacos in half. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Fill tacos with feta and slaw. Pass hot sauce alongside, or if your name is Alex, drown your taco in a puddle of it.

Everyone can see the beauty and appreciate the fearlessness of the sport of diving -- whether watching live poolside or viewing the Olympics on a giant HD television.
But the subtleties and mechanics of the twisting, tucking and flipping that lead to landing in the water like a dart? Those usually go right past most people.
Therefore diving is a solitary sport. Just like being a classical pianist.
So much brilliance in search of a little true understanding.
And as the pianist continually plays to grow and get better, the diver must dive.
For the high school diver, the chase for the elusive college scholarship has become a 12-month journey.

There are no summers off in a world that is more tenuous by the day.
Which brings us to Sean and Rachel Burston. Brother and sister plying their trade of diving for Westhill High School.
Westhill is very happy with the Burston Diving Corporation. Especially when senior-to-be Sean and sophomore-to-be Rachel are collecting FCIAC and state titles for their bedrooms and the Vikings' trophy case.
However, diving practice never ends even though high school diving season does. So Sean and Rachel Burston take their talents to the New Canaan YMCA, home of the New Canaan Whirlwind Diving program.
All divers. All ages. A family filled with empathy and understanding.
"Here we are close friends. It's a comfortable atmosphere. But we push each other," Sean Burston said. "In reality, diving is a confusing sport to outsiders. Most don't realize what it's all about. The technical exacting nature of dives. The degree of difficulty from dive to dive. And when you consider the dives that can only be done on the 1-meter (lower) board. And a whole different group on the 3-meter (higher) board."
Toss in the whims of judges who score the dives and the attention to detail can make one crazy.
However, the advent of instant video has made diving excellence more easily attainable.
At Westhill, diving coach Jim Bowser can film practice or meet dives with his iPad.
Instant analysis.
The New Canaan Whirlwinds have a digital-recording system and giant screen TVs focused on their three diving boards.
"Being a self critic is the best teacher. The truth is in the video," Whirlwinds coach Joe Somma said. "Video helps so much with improvement in a large group."
That is one reason the Whirlwinds and Somma have 11 years worth of YMCA National Team Championships in their collection, including the last four titles.
"I'm from Stamford. A Stamford High grad, class of 1990. After college, I came back and coached diving at Westhill and Stamford," Somma said. "In 1997, this opportunity arose. It was my chance to create my own diving program."
And here in 2013, Somma looks back on a long list filled with High School All-Americans and National level divers.
"I want to teach life-long lessons to the kids. Time management, commitment, dedication," Somma said. "But the ultimate goal is to give them the dream of diving in college at the school that fits them the best."
Recently, Sean Burston received High School All-American status from USA Diving for the third straight year. Rachel Burston earned High School All-American status as a freshman. Stamford's Kirsten Parkinson, who attends Convent of the Sacred Heart in Greenwich, also earned All-American status.
The All-American honors along with the gold medals they earned at the YMCA Nationals means Sean and Rachel Burston have prequalified (on the 1-meter board) for the USA Diving Junior Nationals set for August in Minnesota.
"All-American is a huge relief. I want it for all four of my high school years," Sean Burston said. "I'm happy, but even happier for Rachel. It's so awesome she All-American as a freshman. She can do anything she wants to do."
"I was surprised I made All-American. Not many freshmen are selected. It's a weight off my mind," Rachel Burston said. "I feel my diving has gotten stronger. I'm jumping higher, spinning a lot faster, just more rotation. I still prefer the 1-meter board because I'm not crazy about heights. I enjoy myself with the Whirlwinds. Practicing with all my friends is great. We get along very well."
With the luxury of summer schedules, Somma is able to address the physical rigors of diving.
Strength and control are crucial attributes as high school divers experience their inevitable growth spurts.
"Coach Somma puts us through two boot camps. Strength work. Strength conditioning," Sean Burston said. "When your body gets bigger and taller, you have to adapt your dives. You jump higher and throw down harder. But there's so much that changes."
In short, the work never ends. There is always another goal to reach.
Sean and Rachel Burston have two more standards to attain to qualify for the 3-meter diving at the Junior Nationals.
"Sean is an incredible competitor. He's a gamer. He's always ready to rise to the occasion," Somma said. "August at the Junior Nationals is the Super Bowl of diving for us. I'm confident Sean will bring his A game."
"Rachel had an amazing freshman year. She's at the top of her 14-15 year-old age group," Somma said. "She has strength and elegance in her dives. She is a bulldog. She wants success so badly."

Former Democratic governor of Pennsylvania turned MSNBC contributor Ed Rendell said something on Tuesday's Hardball that is going to make a lot of jaws drop.
"Even people who lost their jobs are better off" under Obama (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ED RENDELL, FORMER DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA: And look, there are individuals who are making less money than they made four years ago. There are individuals who were working four years ago not employed now. But when you ask the question, "Are you better off," the key factor is what date are you talking about? Are you better off now than the summer of '08? Probably not if you've lost your job or if you're making less money. But are you better off than you were on January 20th of the new year 2009 when Barack Obama took office? Of course you are.
As you said, whether you're employed or whether you're out of work, if you had a 401k or an investment plan, you're much better off. You're in much better shape. And even if you're wages have gone down, President Obama has cut taxes on working people by $3,600. So you're still ahead of the game in spendable income. If you're unemployed, he extended unemployment compensation that gave you significant amount of additional coverage. If your family's on food stamps, the food stamp benefit went up as part of the stimulus.
So, it depends where you take and freeze that date whether you're better off, and I would contend that even people who lost their jobs are better off if you use January 20th as the starting date.
This is the problem with MSNBC having contributors that are also advisers to Obama's campaign: they can say nonsense like this with total impunity.
Let's be clear: there's no way that someone who was employed before Obama was inaugurated and is involuntarily unemployed today is better off. To suggest so is the height of stupidity, dishonesty, or both.
As for 401ks, many people that have been unemployed have been liquidating such retirement accounts to live on. It's therefore no solace to such folks that stock prices are higher than when Obama was inaugurated.
To be sure, Ed Rendell is considered by people on both sides of the aisle as a straight shooter worthy of respect.
But what he said Tuesday is just beyond the pale, and he should be ashamed for shilling for his candidate with such insulting non sequiturs.

Meridian, Miss. Just before noon Monday, Meridian's new mayor and city council took their oaths of office in a ceremony at the Temple Theatre.
Percy Bland and five members of the city council, three of them new to the office, were installed before a standing-room-only crowd in the theatre that seats about 1,600.
One speaker described the day as being a 'hingepoint in history' for the swearing in of the city's first African-American mayor.
After taking the oath of office Bland became emotional when talking about his own life and reflecting on that of his father, who he says got his start by working for $1.50 a day picking cotton.
"I ran for mayor so that the child in the building today who feels that story can have hope and opportunity here in Meridian," said Bland. "And I in some small way through leadership can open that door. Meridian, as Kim Barney Houston said, 'it is a new day in Meridian, Mississippi!"
The new mayor vowed to work to renew the entrepreneurial and prosperous spirit which he says has been lying somewhat dormant in Meridian.
Bland is 41 and owns his own insurance agency. He is the 34th mayor of Meridian.
All five members for the city council were also sworn into office. Three of those, Kim Houston, Kenneth Dustin Markham and Randy Hammon are new to the board.
"We know that this journey is not going to be easy," said Houston. "So, we're depending on each and every one of you to help us. Let us know what is going on. Don't come to us with your belt and switch in hand, but come and talk with us."
"I can only promise you this, we will find out what's been going on for so many years, and why we haven't progressed," said Hammon. "And when we find out why, we'll move forward."
The new council's first meeting will be Tuesday at 9 a.m. at city hall.
Bland is expected to announce several appointments to city departments. The city has seven different departments whose heads are appointed by the mayor including both the police and fire departments, along with public works. The city council is required to affirm those appointments.
