Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but you can find a copy of Diebold's March 5 letter to UTC here. In no uncertain terms, Diebold Non-executive Chairman of the Board John N. Lauer makes it clear that Diebold isn't interested in being acquired. Here are some choice paragraphs: UTX is opportunistically seeking value that belongs to Diebold shareholders Your $40.00 per share offer is 27 percent below Diebold's 52-week high of $54.50 reached only seven months ago. Moreover, your offer is an opportunistic attempt to acquire Diebold at an inadequate price that does not reflect significant progress against our current strategic initiatives, a U.S. ATM and financial self-service environment that is anticipated to improve in 2009 from recent lows, important opportunities for growth overseas and cost initiatives that are on track to eliminate an initial $100 million from our cost structure by the end of 2008. I agree that UTC is being opportunistic, but can you blame them? Hey Diebold board, if you don't want to be acquired, get your stock price up. It's in free-fall last time I checked, and it's going to get worse if you rebuff this offer. No basis for Diebold shareholders to accurately determine appropriate value As we have clearly stated, given that we are in the process of working to become current in our financial results, there is simply insufficient financial information for investors to assess valuation. Accordingly, we have been unable to provide forward-looking guidance to date. As we have previously reported, the Company is working diligently to complete this process as quickly as possible. Hence, it would be imprudent for us to engage in any change-of-control discussions at this time. We believe that no responsible, objective management team or Board would assert otherwise and have heard from a number of our shareholders in the last few days that share this view. Seriously? Diebold's financial numbers are way late. Not just a little late. If I'm a shareholder, I'm thinking: "Throw us a bone with some good-looking numbers if you want us to believe we shouldn't take what we can get at this point." Misleading characterizations by UTX We take exception to your assertion that UTX has "sought for more than two years to engage Diebold in constructive discussions." This statement is inaccurate and misleading. Prior to your letter dated February 29, 2008, UTX had never made a firm proposal to acquire Diebold. In fact, UTX approached Diebold on only two occasions with non-specific inquiries -- first a brief, informal conversation that took place roughly two years ago between an investment banker (who did not identify his client) and a Diebold Board member; and second, your letter dated February 19, 2008, which referenced a vague proposal without any specific price. Two points of contact separated by two years does not, in our opinion, represent "constructive discussions to increase shareholder value" as you have publicly stated. This is tasty. Particularly for me. I've noted in past posts how certain financial journalists are acting like they knew all along about this supposed two-year courtship. Hogwash. They're just going on UTC's verbiage, which smelled a little funny to me from the outset. If this courtship has been going on so long, how come UTC released nothing older than that Feb. 19 letter? Point for Diebold here. UTC's definitely trying to spin public favor, and the financial analysts, wanting desperately to look insider are buying it. Simply put, UTX's proposed offer is far below what Diebold is worth. Furthermore, your overture, which comes at a time when we cannot responsibly engage in discussions, and the hostile nature of your approach, has convinced the Board that discussions now will not likely result in the best outcome for our shareholders. This is good work on Diebold's part. Even though they come off more than a bit whiny, they've put put all the onus back on UTC. It's passive-aggressive, considering the "time when we cannot responsibly engage in discussions" is pretty much their own fault, but I think it works, and they engage in a little spin of their own: "Simply put, blah, blah." Actually, it's not all that simple. People I've spoken to think the offer is about at one times trailing revenues, which is pretty much what firms in the security space are going for right now. Sure, UTC should be willing to pay a bit more of a premium for Diebold's size, but Diebold is in a tailspin right now, by most accounts, is laying people off, and can't get its numbers out. I'm thinking that damages your value a bit.

Day's Worst: Four 2004 Olympians stripped of medals for doping
Four Olympic medalists at the 2004 Athens games lost their medals Wednesday as a result of retesting that showed they'd used steroids.
Cheating is cheating, and we're glad the International Olympic Committee was able to root out those using performance enhancing drugs, even these many years later. The four all were field event athletes.
According to the New York Times, the athletes are: Yuriy Bilonog of Ukraine, who won a gold medal in the men's shot put; Svetlana Krivelyova of Russia, who won bronze in the women's shot put; Ivan Tsikhan of Belarus, who won silver in the men's hammer throw; and Iryna Yatchenko of Belarus, who won bronze in the women's discus.
Perhaps the threat that future tests could potentially detect doping techniques that are not discernible with current technology will discourage athletes from trying to get a chemical edge.

Hart to hart: Reindeer tell all at LAB
Imagine this scenario: A scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Jolly Old St. Nick's reindeer pals accuses him of sexual harassment. As the media investigate the alleged event, other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges, implicating everyone from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself. With each tiny deer's confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer… and murkier and murkier.
The Eight, a series of dark comic monologues now playing in the Live Arts LAB Space, pokes fun at a host of holiday icons. Originally created by Jeff Goode as part of his work with the Chicago chapter of No Shame Theater, the monologues were performed individually over a series of weeks. Eventually Goode collected the solo pieces into a somewhat cohesive whole and garnered a staged reading for the Hidden Theater during the holiday season in 1993.
"Almost ten years later, the show continues to grow in popularity as it shocks and delights audiences with its wickedly funny take on Christmas," says Todd Ristau, the show's artistic director.
This year The Eight opened in 26 cities around the world. "It's clear that by using the familiar iconography of Christmas– the season of peace, joy, and forgiveness– to unlock the devastating issues of child abuse, sexual assault, and workplace harassment, Goode has struck a resonant chord," Ristau contends.
The Charlottesville cast includes the well-known line-up of reindeer: Dasher, Cupid, Blitzen, Donner, Comet, Dancer, and Vixen plus the addition of Hollywood, played by Live Arts regular Clinton Johnston. The rest of the gang is brought to life by Michael Farrand, Kristopher Jones, Melissa Ketola, Michael Morris, Jade Catta-Preta, Greg Hays, and Jacklyn DiLauro. Ristau plays nearly all the other roles: set designer, lighting designer, costume designer, and sound designer.
The play is dark. "It's really not suitable for children," Ristau warns. But if you're up for a little bawdy fun after the tree's been trimmed and the stockings are hung, spend the evening with this gang of potty-mouthed animal friends. You'll likely never think of Rudolph and his red nose in quite the same way again.
The Eight plays Wednesdays-Sundays through December 22. Live Arts LAB Space, 609 E. Market St. 8pm generally with 2pm Sunday matinees. $5-7. 977-4177.

Founded in 1989, the Pasadena Journal began to fill a void in the community. It was first published bi-monthly, with 500 papers circulating in the cities of Pasadena and Altadena.

Where can you purchase this: Hair Products Pro website
Price: $129.95 with free shipping
Made in China
Description on the website: Introducing the New Karmin G3 Salon Pro Hair Styling Iron, the Ultimate Hair Styling Tool. Whether you choose to curl, flip, straighten or add volume and body, the G3 is the only stying iron you will ever need. The Karmin Salon Pro is perfect for both the professional as well as home users with features such as flash quick heating, a tangle-free swivel cord and temperature settings for all hair types. Styling your hair is virtually effortless and results are smooth, silky, shiny hair. The ceramic plates are infused with tourmaline which together work to produce more negative ions. Negative ions work to seal the hairs cuticle for smoother, frizz free results as well as lock in moisture, protect color and add shine to your hair. Infrared heat works to heat the heat the hair from the inside out providing healthier styling, less damage and faster styling.
My thoughts: To be honest, I was in debate about getting a flat iron since I have straight hair. Of course, it's not super, duper straight but good enough... hehe~ I thought it didn't hurt since most of the time I take a shower at nights and sleep on my head. I wake up in the morning and it's more wavy than straight. I thought it'll be nice to straighten that up... hehe~ :)
Speaking of on/off and adjustable buttons, I love that there are degrees of temperature. The lightest is 180 and the hottest is 450. If you have thin hair, I definitely don't recommend 450. For someone like me with thick hair, 450 is fine... hehe~ To be honest, I prefer the 450 for the quick straightening. I cold straighten my hair within 5-10 minutes... wheee~
I love that the flat iron has a swivel cord! I have old curling irons and hair dryers (I need a new one!) without swivel cords. Let me tell you it's a hot mess... lol~ Without swivel cords, the cords get tangle up and it's hard to untangle *sigh*.
I also noticed the ceramic plates move while you squeeze it. I use to own a cheap flat iron until I gave it to my friend (it's still good by the way). You cannot move the plates. Maybe because it's not ceramic... hehe~ Having movable plates is a good thing because it's easy to use on the hair.
Now for the hair results...
* Sleek,shiny black color flat iron; it looks professional.
* Movable ceramic plates.
* Different degrees of temperature, 180-450.
* Swivel cord.
* It straightens hairs decently and quickly.
* It curls really well.
* On/off and temperature button next to the ceramic plates.
Would I buy this again: Yes, but I hope I don't have too. I hope it lasts a long time... hehe~
Rating: 4/5 Tobey's Paws
Thank you and I really did love the flat iron!!! :)

Torrance, CA: Rice-Eccles Stadium was filled Saturday night for Round 16 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an[ FIM World Championship series in Salt Lake City, UT. It was an exciting night with GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac taking the win and wrapping up the Lites West Championship with one round still remaining. Team Honda Muscle Milk's Justin Brayton rode a solid Supercross race, finishing in fourth place to gain valuable points.
The Race
Brayton rode an impressive heat race aboard his factory CRF450R, finishing second after leading throughout the majority of the race. In the main, Brayton got a mid-pack start and spent the race charging forward through the pack to finish fourth.
"Today was a little frustrating for me. I had a hard time finding my rhythm on the track during practice but in the heat race things started to feel really good. I led the majority of the race but after a good battle, Millsaps got by me," said Brayton. "In the main I got a bad start, which made it really tough to get to the front where I needed to be to battle with the leaders. After being on the podium so many times it's hard not to be up there, and I'm determined to get on the top of the box. With one more round I am hoping to make it all count and take the win in Vegas."
After an impressive win in Seattle, Andrew Short finished a respectable seventh place aboard his new Chaparral Honda CRF450R.
In the Lites West class, GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac grabbed his fourth win of the season and wrapped up his first-ever Supercross title. Tomac got a mid-pack start in the main but quickly made his way through the field. Once in the lead, Tomac never looked back, checking out and taking the checkered flag. Both Tomac and teammate Justin Barcia will head into the final round in Las Vegas with the number one plates.
"This is an awesome feeling. Honestly, I didn't even know I had won the championship at first. I came off the track and had no idea. Then when someone told me I couldn't believe it. I have worked so hard this season, so knowing it has paid off is great," stated Tomac.
Teammate Wil Hahn finished second in his heat, and a solid fourth in the main.

If a rock won't bite, maybe a bluefish will
Moe and I imagined a fantastic day for rockfish. We had done well the previous afternoon with limits of bright, healthy stripers 26 to 28 inches. Hoping the pods would remain close to those same Bay Bridge structures overnight, we were back on the water early the next morning.

High school student honored for saving woman
Student learned chest compressions on previous day
An Orange County High School student was honored on Thursday for saving a woman's life.
The award came from the United States Navy to the 11th-grader who jumped into action.
"His quick decisive action resulted in saving the life of another race participant and is worthy of recognition," said JROTC instructor Lt. Commander Fred Morrow.
Cypress Creek High School student Ciro Canales, 16, received the Meritorious Achievement Award.
His instructor was all too proud to honor the Junior ROTC cadet who saved a life.
"We don't give that out very often. I've give that out none in 20 years," said Morrow.
Canales was running a Spartan obstacle race in Conyers, Ga., on March 9. The race is a grueling obstacle course of endurance.
While in a water pit, Canales noticed another runner having difficulty.
"I hear somebody yell, 'Oh, somebody help. Someone help. This woman isn't breathing,'" said Canales. "So we carry her out and as I laid her down her the floor, I checked her pulse and she had no pulse."
While a medic ran for an automated external defibrillator, Canales was able to give chest compressions that he learned in class.
"Very good that I took the course because honestly I don't want to imagine what would happen if I did anything when that woman passed out," said Canales. "After I finished everything I stayed with her for about a minute, she said 'Thank you,' and I was running the race and at that moment I remember, 'I need to finish this.'"
He had taken a class on chest compressions the day before he saved the woman's life.
"I'm as proud as any peacock with great big feathers could possibly be," said Health Sciences instructor Teresa Lee.
"I just helped out," said Canales. "I just did what I had to do."
Canales finished 27th out in his age group of out 60 runners.

Prepare for a Flood
Extensive plans and preventive measures have been taken by the State to reduce the disruption and damage caused by flooding, but the homeowner too can take action to prevent loss and environmental contamination. The following links provide suggested examples of activities the homeowner can take before the threat of flooding occurs.
Power Outages
If your power goes off for any reason, use alternative power/heating sources safely to avoid deadly accidents, including carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. The CO website includes information on safely using portable generators, symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure, and more.
Safe Drinking Water – Wells and Public Water Systems
Safe water for drinking, cooking, and personal hygiene includes bottled, boiled or treated water. Do not use contaminated water to wash dishes, brush your teeth, wash and prepare food, wash hands or make baby formula. Disinfect and test flooded private water wells after flood waters recede.
To request a test container from the State's drinking water testing lab, or call (603) 271-3445.
The Sewer line near my house is overflowing; what do I do?
During severe rainstorms and flooding events, underground sewer systems and sewage treatment plants can often become overloaded with rainwater or floodwaters. This excess water can lead to discharges of raw sewage onto the streets or private property by overflowing through manhole covers. Raw sewage can also back up into your home through low level toilets, sinks and floor drains. Untreated sewage contains potential high levels of disease-causing viruses and bacteria. Assume that all flood waters are contaminated and avoid direct contact as much as possible. If you notice sewer overflows, contact your sewage treatment plant or public works department immediately.
Home is flooded
If your home becomes flooded be wary of contaminated flood water, which can cause serious threats to your health and to the structure of your house. It's important to limit your contact with flood water; pump out flooded basements gradually; dry out the building; discard soaked items that can't be thoroughly cleaned and dried; and service damaged septic systems as soon as possible. See below for more tips.
Mold is a serious problem in flooded areas. The key to controlling mold growth is by controlling moisture – and doing it quickly.
Fallen Trees, Brush and Other Vegetative Debris
Uprooted trees, broken tree limbs, stumps, brush and leaves must be dealt with as soon as possible when they pose an immediate threat or hazard. Cleanup requires specific actions when the vegetative debris is within a wetland area or protected shoreland (See second link below). Larger scale cleanup may require forestry and timbering permits. Please see page 2 of "Management of Collected Debris Following Severe Storm Events" concerning vegetative debris:
Waste Debris – Hazardous and Non-hazardous (Solid) Waste Debris
Natural disasters and emergencies can create a myriad of waste debris of every description, including petroleum and chemical spills, dislodged propane tanks, demolition wastes, damaged white goods, dead animals, and more. Hazardous wastes should be reported immediately to both your local fire department at 9-1-1 and the NHDES Spill Response team at (603) 271-3899 or after hours at (603) 223-4381. The following fact sheets provide information on how to handle different kinds of waste debris.
Propane Tanks
Oil tanks and propane tanks are frequently dislodged and moved considerable distances during floods and other disasters. When found they should be examined by trained personnel before removal. Large propane tanks should be off-loaded and removed by the propane company that owns them or by a hazardous waste contractor. Please see the bottom of page 1 of this fact sheet for more information:
Septic System is flooded
Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.
If after a flood event you notice that your sinks and toilets are not draining properly, your septic system may be impaired or damaged. Have your septic tank pumped as soon as possible, and schedule a licensed septic system designer to assess your system for damage.
If, however, your septic system was in good shape prior to the flood event and you are not experiencing drainage problems indoors, wait for the flood waters to recede and for your yard to dry. Your system will self-correct if it has not been damaged.
Shorefront, Beachfront or Wetland cleanup
Cleanup requires specific actions when the vegetative debris is within a wetland area or protected shoreland, including beachfronts.
Municipalities and Public Drinking Water & Wastewater Systems
Safe and secure drinking water is the highest priority, and water systems are continuing to assess their vulnerabilities and taking action to maintain and improve emergency response and security. Community and non-community, non-transient water systems must notify the NHDES Drinking Water and Groundwater Bureau within 24 hours of an emergency or security breach.

Unemployment Insurance Handbook for Employers (UCB-201-P)
Section 3 - Appeals
These cases involve a claimant's eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits and not an employer's tax liability or responsibility. A decision in one of these cases does NOT decide your UI tax status. It does not control what payroll and employees you must include in your quarterly contribution/wage reports. Tax status cases are covered in Part 1B.
There is a statutory presumption that a claimant is eligible for benefits, unless a specific disqualification applies.
If there is an eligibility issue relating to an individual's claim for benefits, the department will send the interested parties a determination by mail. Benefit determinations are also viewable and printable online to employers from https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/ui/sides. If you disagree with the determination, you have the right to file an appeal by making a written request for a hearing.
An appeal must be in writing:
If appealing more than one determination, you must submit a separate appeal for each. The party appealing the determination is called the appellant. The party responding to the appeal is called the respondent.
The appeal must be postmarked or received within 14 days of the date on which the determination was issued. The deadline is printed in the lower right-hand corner of the determination. The appeal should be submitted, faxed, or mailed to the hearing office listed on the back of the determination under WHERE TO FILE AN APPEAL.
An appeal that is received or postmarked after the deadline specified on the determination is considered a late appeal. A late appeal must include the reason why you are filing late. If an Administrative Law Judge, or ALJ (also referred to as an Appeal Tribunal), determines that the appellant's reasons for filing late does not constitute a reason beyond the appellant's control, the ALJ may dismiss the appeal without a hearing and issue a decision accordingly. The determination will remain the final disposition of the case.
If the ALJ does not dismiss the appeal, the hearing office will schedule a hearing to take testimony about why the appeal was late. Work or personal obligations, being out of town, or misreading or misunderstanding the determination generally are not considered to be reasons beyond an appellant's control.
If the appellant proves that the reason for the late appeal was beyond his/her/its control, the ALJ will proceed to the merits of the case or order that a later hearing be scheduled on the merits of the case.
The appellant may withdraw the appeal at any time before an appeal tribunal decision is issued on the merits. A withdrawal may be done by mail, fax or calling the hearing office. Only the party who requested the hearing (the appellant) may withdraw.
If an appeal is withdrawn, no hearing will be held unless the other party has also filed an appeal. In that case, the issue appealed by that other party will remain the subject of a hearing and an Appeal Tribunal Decision. If all appeals are withdrawn, the determination will remain in effect.
A party who wants to ensure that there will be a hearing in a case is advised to file his/her/its own appeal, even if the other party has also filed one.
When you file an appeal (or are notified that the claimant has filed an appeal), contact the hearing office immediately to notify it of scheduling conflicts in the coming month, such as a pre-planned trip, convention, medical appointment, court date, etc., for any intended witness or representative. The hearing office cannot promise any specific date and time, but it may be able to schedule around the conflict or arrange to take testimony of witnesses by telephone.
Do not wait until the hearing notice is received to notify the hearing office of scheduling conflicts. Also, keep in mind that parties are expected to make the necessary arrangements to attend the hearing, including taking time off from work or school.
Once the hearing has been scheduled, postponements are granted only for exceptional circumstances. A postponement must be requested as soon as the need for the postponement becomes known.
A hearing will be scheduled by one of the four regional UI hearing offices. (Hearing office addresses and telephone numbers may be found in Appendix A of this section.) A hearing is usually scheduled within a few weeks after an appeal has been filed.
The hearing office mails parties a Hearing Notice at least 6 days in advance of the scheduled hearing. This notice contains important information you will need to know about the scheduled hearing, including:
To see sample hearing notices, see Appendix B.
PLEASE READ BOTH SIDES OF THE HEARING NOTICE CAREFULLY. Make sure that you understand the specified issue(s) and prepare your case with the issue(s) in mind.
The hearing office may schedule one or both of the parties to attend a hearing by telephone. The hearing office will often schedule a telephone hearing when at least one of the parties is located 40 miles or more from the nearest hearing location. Telephone hearings may also be appropriate for some hearings involving only one party.
The parties may request in person or telephone participation, but the hearing office makes the final decision. To request a telephone hearing, the appellant should ask for one in the appeal. Alternatively, the respondent should request a telephone hearing immediately after receiving the Notice of Hearing.
Before you request a telephone hearing, you should consider that you must submit all your written evidence to the hearing office and send copies to your opposing party (employer or claimant) in advance of the hearing; and you will need suitable equipment, including a speakerphone or extensions if you have several witnesses.
As with "in person" hearings, the hearing office will mail you a notice of the date and time for a telephone hearing. The ALJ will call the telephone participants at the scheduled time. Telephone participants must provide a correct phone number in advance. The ALJ may conduct the hearing without a party or dismiss an appeal by a party who fails to provide a number or is unavailable when called.
If the hearing office schedules a telephone hearing:
The hearing office will send copies of relevant documents in the hearing file to the parties before scheduling the phone hearing. If you want to submit other evidence, send it to the hearing office and to the other hearing participants in time for everyone to receive copies before the hearing. The ALJ may refuse to consider evidence that you did not send to all participants before the hearing.
All appeal levels above the hearing level use the record from the hearing (testimony and documents admitted) to make their decisions. As a result, it is IMPORTANT to bring and present all relevant information at the hearing. Because you may get only a few days' notice that your hearing has been scheduled, it is very important to begin preparing the case right away. To attend a hearing to see what one is like, please contact the hearing office.
A party may choose to have an attorney or other representative assist at the hearing. If a party plans to have an attorney or representative at the hearing, the party must notify the hearing office as soon as possible of the name, address, and telephone number of the attorney or other representative. Include dates that the attorney or representative is unavailable for a hearing.
Prior to the hearing, it is helpful to prepare notes of the facts involved in the case for reference during the hearing. Because notes are used only to refresh the memory of the note taker, individuals should not expect to read aloud from them as testimony, nor is it likely that any of these hearing preparation notes will be marked as exhibits by the ALJ. Each party should also write down questions for the other party and important points he or she wishes to make to the ALJ.
A party may review his/her/its UI Division file at the hearing office listed on the hearing notice. To make sure the file is available, please call the office in advance. A party may also receive a copy of the file through the mail. Please call the hearing office to request a copy.
Witnesses should consist of individuals who have actual personal knowledge of and were present to see and hear the events or facts to which they are testifying. An affidavit or written statement (even if notarized) cannot substitute for the personal appearance of a witness. Such a document is hearsay. The witness must appear for the hearing, testify under oath, and answer questions from the ALJ and the other party.
The ALJ cannot decide an issue solely on hearsay evidence, that is, evidence not within a witness's own personal knowledge. (An exception is that an ALJ may make a decision as to whether the employer failed to provide complete and correct information to the department during the fact-finding investigation based on department records.)
Example: If you want to present evidence that a worker hit another worker, you should have either the worker who was hit or an eyewitness to the event testify. Both the worker who was hit and the eyewitness have personal, firsthand knowledge of what happened ("Joe hit me." Or, "I saw Joe hit him."), rather than secondhand knowledge or hearsay from a supervisor or other witness ("The worker told me the next day that Joe hit him."). The ALJ will limit, or exclude, repetitious testimony. If several people witnessed a particular incident, you do not have to bring them all. Choose one or two with the best information.
The ALJ will not permit testimony from a witness that is not relevant or material to the issue(s) involved in the case. Relevant evidence is evidence that tends to make any important fact more probable than without the evidence.
If a witness seems reluctant to appear at the hearing voluntarily or if you wish to obtain specified documents, you may ask the hearing office to prepare a subpoena form for you. An attorney representing you may also issue a subpoena. A subpoena requires the witness to appear at the hearing or requires presentation of the requested documents at the hearing. You are responsible for serving the subpoena before the hearing and for providing the required witness fee and mileage payment to the witness. The hearing office will provide further information about serving the subpoena when giving you the form.
Additional witnesses who have knowledge of the case also may be called to testify, including department employees.
A party may wish to introduce documents or other materials such as payroll or attendance records, check stubs, letters, warnings, medical excuses, work rules, work schedules, reports, photographs, video or audio tapes, charts, objects, sample products, etc., to support a case. However, the ALJ may refuse to accept irrelevant evidence, that is, evidence that does not make an important fact more probable than without the evidence.
Photocopies may be submitted, but the original documents should be brought to the hearing to confirm the authenticity of the photocopies. Generally, the person responsible for creating or keeping the records should be present at the hearing to identify, authenticate, and testify about them.
If a video or audio recording is important to prove your case, you must bring it to the hearing in a .mp4 (MP4) format and submit the recording(s) as part of the record while the appeal is pending (after which it/they may be returned to you). Notify the hearing office prior to the hearing that you plan to play a video or audio recording at the hearing, so that additional time for the hearing may be provided.
When the department needs to consider medical information in making a decision, it will send out a standard form UCB-474 Medical Report for completion by the claimant's doctor. A copy of the completed form is generally provided to both parties before the hearing.
A certified report by a qualified expert is considered evidence sufficient to establish the fact at issue unless contradicted and overcome by other evidence. Accordingly, if the doctor returns a properly completed UCB-474, then his or her presence at the hearing is not required. An employer may wish to subpoena the doctor or present an alternate certified report by a qualified expert (or perhaps subpoena a company doctor who examined the claimant) to rebut what the claimant's doctor has said.
To see a sample UCB-474 form, see Appendix B.
In determining a claimant's availability for work or ability to work, the department may request labor market information from labor market analysts employed by the state. Labor market analysts are sometimes called as witnesses at hearings. However, in most cases the labor market analysts are able to provide the necessary information on a standard form that can be considered evidence. This form, a Certified Expert Report on Labor Market Conditions, provided by Wisconsin's Conditions of Employment Database, is called a CoED report. In such cases, the labor market analyst need not appear at the hearing.
A copy of the completed CoED report may be available for review before the hearing, if time allows. If the report was not available for viewing before the hearing and you want to rebut the form, you may ask the ALJ at the hearing to continue the hearing to a later date. This provides a party with the opportunity to present other expert testimony about the information in the labor market analyst's report.
In cases involving drug tests, the department may send out its own form for completion by the specimen collector and the drug testing laboratory. This certified report is considered sufficient evidence of the drug test result, that the result was valid, and that the drug test procedures met certain standards. A mere copy of the drug test report received from the lab is not sufficient evidence. If your case involves a drug test and you have not received the forms, please call the hearing office listed on the hearing notice immediately.
To see a sample of these drug collection and testing forms, see Appendix B.
The LIRC website, http://lirc.wisconsin.gov/, contains a digest, by topic, of recent LIRC decisions and court decisions.
These decisions can be quite helpful, but keep in mind that each case will be decided on its own unique set of facts.
ALJs may schedule prehearing conferences pursuant to DWD § 140.07. However, such conferences are scheduled in only the most complex cases. Following the conference, the ALJ will issue an order about such matters as stipulations of fact (both sides agreeing that certain facts are true), limitations on the number of witnesses, stipulations about evidentiary issues, and any other matters that might assist in the disposition of the appeal.
Having a hearing is like "starting from scratch," as if the determination was never made. Parties present their cases before an Administrative Law Judge, or ALJ, who is an attorney. The ALJ conducts the hearing and makes sure that each side has the opportunity to present evidence and give testimony. The ALJ is responsible for controlling the hearing, making sure that the rules of evidence are followed, and protecting the due process rights of the parties.
Although the hearing is not a court trial, it is a formal proceeding. Hearings are open to the public, though it is very unusual for a person unrelated to your case to attend. To obtain a copy of the digital recording of your hearing, please call (608) 266-3174.
The hearing locations throughout the state are accessible to persons with physical disabilities. If certain accommodations are necessary to meet your physical needs, you should contact the hearing office immediately so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.
If you need an interpreter to properly participate in the hearing or present your case, you should immediately contact the hearing office. Interpreters for numerous languages are available, but the hearing office requires advance notice and will provide additional time for the hearing.
Persons who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired may dial 7-1-1 for Wisconsin Relay Service.
Generally, both the claimant and the employer should attend the hearing. However, an employer is not required to attend if the issue in dispute was raised by the department, such as why the claimant failed to follow required filing procedures or did not accept a valid job offer from a different employer. Contact the hearing office listed on the hearing notice if you have a question about the need to attend.
You must report in person if you are scheduled to appear in person. If you are scheduled to appear by telephone, you must be available at the telephone number you provide to the hearing office. Follow the instructions on your hearing notice.
A record is made of the hearing by digital recording. As such, it is important to speak loudly and clearly, not to rustle papers, and not to interrupt, argue or talk at the same time as someone else.
While the ALJ will follow administrative procedural rules on burden of proof and cross-examination, and will limit the use of hearsay evidence, statutory and common law rules of evidence are not controlling.
The ALJ will introduce himself or herself, identify the persons in the hearing room, explain the procedures, summarize the determination issued by the department, define the issue(s) involved in the case, and ask both parties for brief statements about their contentions. The brief statement is not intended to include all the details of your case. Rather, it should provide a quick description of what you are claiming. Two examples are the following: "I believe the claimant quit" or "I discharged the claimant for misconduct."
The ALJ will determine the order in which the parties and any witnesses testify, swear them in, and question them. The ALJ is responsible for getting all the information necessary to understand the facts of your case and to obtain a sufficient record of testimony and other evidence presented in order to make a decision.
The ALJ may exclude witnesses (that is, order witnesses to remain outside the hearing room) so that the witnesses are not influenced by the testimony of others. Similarly, the ALJ may limit or exclude the testimony of witnesses if the testimony is repetitive, irrelevant, immaterial, or based solely on hearsay.
In addition to presenting his/her/its own testimony, a party will be given a chance to ask questions of the other party and his/her/its witnesses (called cross-examination). Cross-examining a witness involves asking questions about that person's testimony or asking him or her to provide additional information important to your case. It may be helpful to bring a pen and paper to take notes during the testimony.
Cross examination does not involve providing your own testimony about what happened (you will get your own chance to do that). For example, the claimant's witness might testify that he worked with the claimant on the same shift and did not see the claimant smoking. You can cross examine the witness by asking questions such as, "Were you with the claimant during the entire shift?", but you cannot argue with him (for example, by saying, "The supervisor told me he was smoking on the shop floor").
You (or your representative) may object to certain questions or to the admission of certain evidence. Before ruling on the objection, the ALJ may ask the other party to respond to the objection.
After both parties have had the chance to present their cases and question the other party's witnesses, the ALJ will end the hearing.
The party with the burden of proof, that is, the party who has the duty of affirmatively proving its case, depends on the issue or issues involved at the hearing.
For example, if an employer discharged a claimant, then it is up to the employer to prove that the claimant is ineligible for benefits because, for instance, he or she was fired for misconduct or substantial fault. It is the employer's burden to prove that the reason(s) for the discharge disqualify the employee from receiving benefits.
However, when a claimant quits a job, the general rule is that the claimant is ineligible for benefits. In this case, the claimant has the burden of proving that he or she is eligible for the payment of benefits because one of the statutory exceptions applies or because he or she has met the requalification requirements.
The vast majority of cases involve proof by a preponderance of the evidence. This means that whoever has the burden of proof must show that it is more probable than not that the claim that the party is making is true. For example, if an employer is trying to prove that an employee was discharged for misconduct, the employer must convince the ALJ that it is more probable than not that the claimant engaged in the misconduct for which he or she was discharged.
If the employer claims that the person engaged in some criminal behavior (such as theft), then it must provide clear and convincing evidence. This level of proof is higher than by a preponderance of the evidence but is not as high as "beyond a reasonable doubt." It is a degree of proof that requires a firm belief or conviction in the mind of the ALJ that what the employer claims is correct.
If the appellant (whether claimant or employer) does not attend the hearing, then the appeal is dismissed. The determination remains in effect and becomes final (unless good cause for failing to appear is shown). The ALJ will wait 10 minutes before dismissing the appeal.
A respondent who does not attend the hearing gives up the chance to present evidence and testimony at the hearing (unless good cause for failing to appear is shown). The ALJ will wait 10 minutes before proceeding with the hearing without the respondent.
If a party fails to appear for a hearing but believes there was good cause for failing to appear, he/she/it may provide a written explanation of the reasons for not appearing. A party may submit the written explanation to the hearing office at any time before a decision is issued or within the 21-day appeal period after a decision is mailed. If, after review, the ALJ decides there was no good cause for failing to appear, the request for hearing will be denied. If the ALJ decides there was good cause for failing to appear, a hearing will be scheduled on the merits of the case.
A person's illness, an accident, or unexpected circumstances that would prevent a person from being able to attend a hearing may be good cause. Forgetting about the hearing, writing the wrong date on your calendar, getting lost, or getting stuck in traffic generally are not considered to be good cause.
After the hearing, the ALJ will review the testimony and the exhibits received at the hearing, decide how the unemployment insurance law applies to the facts, and issue a written decision. The ALJ's decision, also called an Appeal Tribunal Decision or ATD, will be based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing. The ALJ's decision can change the ruling made in the determination.
Ordinarily, in a benefits case, parties should receive a copy of the ALJ's decision within approximately two weeks of the hearing. If you have not received a benefits decision within three weeks, please contact the hearing office. This is important because, if the mail was misdirected, you could miss the deadline to appeal the ALJ's decision.
Parties are sometimes confused when they get a decision because it looks like the ALJ got the facts wrong. However, this may occur because the parties presented two different versions of events (that is, contradictory evidence) at the hearing. Deciding which version of the facts is more credible can prove difficult. The ALJ does his/her best to determine credibility and make the appropriate findings of fact.
REMINDER: A decision in a benefit case does not decide your UI tax status.
Example: A benefit decision is issued stating that a claimant was an employee and not an independent contractor. That decision will not automatically decide that issue for the employer's UI tax purposes. The issue involved in the benefit case is not whether you are liable for UI taxes; it is whether the claimant is eligible for benefits.
The decision of the ALJ may be appealed to the Labor and Industry Review Commission (LIRC), and LIRC's decision may be appealed to the courts. For detailed information on these further appeals, see Parts 2 and 3.

On This Day...
September 17, 1778, Indians and Loyalists burn German Flats, New York. At 6 a.m. on this day in 1778, Mohawk Indian chief and British Loyalist leader Joseph Brant leads a force of 150 Iroquois Indians and 300 British Loyalists under the command of Captain William Caldwell in a surprise attack on the area of German Flats, New York. German Flats, now known as Herkimer, New York, was left virtually undefended by Patriot troops prior to the raid.
The Indian and Loyalist raiders captured hundreds of head of cattle and sheep before setting fire to every house, barn and mill in German Flats. Despite the complete destruction of the town, including 63 houses, 57 barns, three gristmills and one sawmill, only three men were killed. The day before, four Patriot scouts had run into the Loyalists while on reconnaissance. Though only one, Adam Helmer, survived the encounter, he was able to run the nine miles back to the village of German Flats to warn the residents. As a result, the vast majority of the town's people was able to seek safety in the area's forts, Herkimer and Dayton, and survived the destruction of their town.
Joseph Brant ranked among Britain's best commanders during the American War for Independence. He was an educated Christian and Freemason who studied directly with Eleazer Wheelock at Moor's Indian Charity School, the parent institution of Dartmouth College. His older sister Mary was founding father Sir William Johnson's common-law wife and played a significant role in colonial and revolutionary Indian affairs. At the close of the war, the Brants and their Iroquois followers left the United States for Canada, where they found land and safety with their British allies.

Quick Look: Mad Libs by inZania
by Dorothy on
March 18, 2009
Filed under Entertainment, Kids, Quick Look
Update: It appears as though Mad Libs has been removed from the App Store.
Did you ever play mad libs as a kid? I remember trying to come up with the most off-the-wall words I could and then laughing so hard wih my friends that none of us could read the mad lib back at the end. Mad libs are easy to do and fun for people of all ages. You just need to know your parts of speech (ie. noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, etc.) You come up with words that fit each part of speech asked for and the words are inserted into a story or text. Then, you read it back. Hopefully, the words don't fit and create a funny story to read.
This Mad Libs app by inZania allows you to create mad libs by yourself or with your friends. You can choose your own story by title or complete a random mad lib. You don't see the story until all of the words have been entered. After you have read your mad lib, the app keeps track of them. You can go back and read the funny ones again and again. You can also create your own mad lib and submit it.
If you need a good laugh, mad libs will do it.
Mad Libs is $2.99 in the iTunes App Store.

Weight loss is a complex problem that is influenced by diet, physical activity, emotional issues, and environmental factors. For children weight loss is further complicated by the fact that they have little control over the food that they eat. Children also often pick up lifestyle habits from people around them. If a child lives in a household with overweight caretakers it may be harder for the child to develop healthy habits related to nutrition. In some cases, family habits may actually work against the child's weight loss program.
Yale University investigated the influence of family involvement in a weight management program for children. The study, published in theJournal of American Medical Association, found that family-based counseling led to greater decrease in body mass index (BMI) in children.
About the Study
The randomized trial included 209 children aged 8-16 years that were overweight. They were randomized to a traditional weight management program that met once every six months or an intensive family-based program that included exercise, nutrition, and behavior modification for the entire family. The family-based program met twice weekly for the first six months, twice monthly for the next six months, and no interaction in the last 12 months.
Changes after the first 12 months in the family-based intervention vs. traditional intervention:
- Weight increased by an average of 0.66 pounds (0.3 kg [kilograms]) vs. 17 pounds (7.7 kg)
- BMI (body mass index-measure of weight by height) decreased by an average of 1.7 kg/m² (kilograms per meter squared) vs. increase of 1.6 kg/m²
- Body fat decreased by an average of 4% vs. increase of 2%
There was a 47% dropout rate of participants by 12 months. The benefits of the family-based intervention was maintained through 24 months in 36% of the participants that were available for follow-up.
How Does This Affect You?
Randomized trials are considered one of the most reliable trial designs. This trial did have a high dropout rate during the first 12 months and there were few participants available for follow-up at 24 months. The loss of this many participants may decreases the reliability of the results but are unfortunately common in weight-loss trials.
Family support can play an important role in weight loss for children and teens. If the teen is trying to make changes, but is surrounded by easy access or reminders of bad habits, it can be easy to stray from healthy habits. If you are a parent or caretaker, keep in mind that your example influences your children. Make sure you are eating things you want your child to eat like fruits and vegetables. Add physical activity to family plans like a walk after dinner, hikes on the weekend, or even find games that are active. And if your child is overweight, consider how your habits are affecting your child' health. Getting involved in his steps for weight loss may help both your child and yourself.

Michael Floorwax MIA on The Fox
There's a distinct absence on the Denver radio scene and the mystery remains unsolved. Managers at Clear Channel and The Fox, Denver's 103.5 FM, still have nothing to say about the disappearance of Michael Floorwax from the KRFX morning show.
"Out of respect for his privacy," the company has no comment, said Greg Foster, VP-programming for Clear Channel in the Denver market.
Floorwax's longtime on-air partner Rick Lewis has been doing the show without him since early this year, with producer Kathy Lee (who has not been given a co-host title). The raunchy Lewis & Floorwax morning antics have been a staple of the Denver airwaves since 1990. Floorwax, whose real name is Michael Steinke, was previously known in Denver as a stand-up comic before the pair took off in the ratings and became a nationally syndicated phenom. He also gained a following as lead singer for the band The Groove Hawgs. (They've played their usual full schedule of shows and have a couple of shows still to come.)
This from Rick Lewis: "We are still not allowed to publicly say what is going on with him because of standard privacy laws. Bottom line, when Floorwax wants everyone to know what is going on, he will surface. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later."
Regular listeners say occasional comments by Lewis since February have cited HIPAA restrictions — the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act — preventing the station's staff from discussing the situation. For now, the show is officially titled "The Fox Morning Show with Rick Lewis."
Correction: This story has been edited to correct the name of HIPAA.

US federal judge declares boating illegal in all US navigable waters
By IBI Magazine
In a rather bizarre ruling that has marine industry officials worried, Judge Robert G. James of the United States District Court, Western Division of Louisiana, has said that it is criminal trespass for the American boating public to boat, fish, or hunt on the Mississippi River and other navigable waters in the US.
In the case of Normal Parm v. Sheriff Mark Shumate, James ruled that federal law grants exclusive and private control over the waters of the river, outside the main shipping channel, to riparian landowners. The shallows of the navigable waters are no longer open to the public. That, in effect, makes boating illegal across most of the country.
"Even though this action seems like a horrible pre-April fools joke, it is very serious," said Phil Keeter, MRAA president, in a statement. "Because essentially all the waters and waterways of our country are considered navigable in the US law, this ruling declares recreational boating, water skiing, fishing, waterfowl hunting, and fishing tournaments to be illegal and the public subject to jail sentences for recreating with their families."
Last month, James rejected the findings of the Magistrate judge who found earlier that the American public had the right under federal law and Louisiana law to navigate, boat, fish, and hunt on the waters of the Mississippi river up to the normal high water line of the river. Judge James Kirk relied on the long established federal principles of navigation that recognized the public navigational rights "…entitles the public to the reasonable use of navigable waters for all legitimate purposes of travel or transportation, for boating, sailing for pleasure, as well as for carrying persons or property for hire, and in any kind of watercraft the use of which is consistent with others also enjoying the right possessed in common."
"MRAA is working with the Coast Guard, state boating law administrators, and NMMA to fight this onerous ruling," said Glen Mazzella, MRAA chairman, in the statement.
Let's hope this gets overturned.

- Main article: Fads and fashions
A fad, also known as a craze, refers to a fashion that becomes popular in a culture relatively quickly, but loses popularity dramatically. Some fads may come back if another generation finds out about it and gets interested in it. For example Dayglo paint and clothing was a fad in Europe and the USA the late 1970s. Then Dayglo accessories and clothes (such as cycling shorts and Dayglo socks) had a come back in 1984–1989. It is arguable that a fad that remains popular for a significant amount of time typically loses its significance in current popular culture as it evolves and becomes accepted into a society's everyday culture (e.g., television, Internet, Music, Video Games, dances, etc...)

SURF STAY: There are plenty of water-close inns and getaways that'll provide guests with beach towels and sunscreen and plastic buckets and shovels for the little ones. It's all pretty thoughtful, and should come standard with every stay-over if that stay-over happens to be within a mile of the waterfront. But some guests are looking for more than the plastic bucket and shovel from their ocean holiday. They actually want to be out in the water, not dog-paddling or wading, but standing atop a board. Of course, if one has never stood atop a board the prospect can be daunting (more than that, really, lessons are necessary). Enter the Hang Ten, then Hang Out package from San Diego's own Hotel Solamar. People who check in'll get all the usual hotel niceties -- swank accommodations and evening wine reception and such -- plus surf lessons.
THE DEAL: The package kicks off at $269 a night and a two-night stay is required. Oh, and it opens on April 4 and runs through June 30, with another round in the fall. And who exactly is giving the surf lessons? The Coronado Surfing Academy. Here's our favorite bit, maybe aside from the evening wine reception (always hard to beat an evening wine reception on the favorite bits list): Students get their own full-body wetsuits on loan for the lesson. So this is serious stuff. You wanted to learn how to surf? You'll be doing it, full bore. And what better way to do something major?

The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) have recommended that older people in care homes are offered opportunities to participate in meaningful activities which promote health and mental wellbeing. This means not just doing a half hour exercise class each morning, but actually working with our residents to get them involved in activities which enable them to live life to the fullest. We're not interested in just 'going through the motions'; we want to put on activities that really get our residents inspired.
To this end, our team work tirelessly to secure inspirational speakers, entertaining guests and expert coordinators to run sessions and activities that our residents love. These activities are just not just for fun; they are an integral part of keeping older people well and active. Here's why they're so important.
· Beating loneliness: It's all too easy for an older person to shut themselves away in their room, content to avoid social interaction out of shyness. But loneliness has been shown to have a significant negative impact on both mental and physical health, so we work hard to draw everyone out for a bit of fun. Our recent Burns Supper featuring professional piping by Eric Dougherty was a prime example of how we got everyone together (plus family) for a real community celebration!
· Challenging mental degradation: Keeping residents mentally active can stave off the progression of dementia and Alzheimer's, as well as reducing depression and promoting self-confidence. We're always keen to challenge our residents, with our regular afternoon quiz providing mental stimulation for all. Our many different guest visitors help to engage residents with their memories and experiences, such as this session involving creative writing of a poem about World War I.
· Staying physically active: We believe in staying active in older age, no matter what your level of fitness or ability. We're not talking running marathons here, but gentle, appropriate exercise to maintain good flexibility, stamina and health. Activities such as our song and dance session with Dave Dawson help to get residents up and moving and having fun, keeping hearts healthy and faces smiling!
· Providing purpose (and fun): Even in older age, people love to feel useful. Having our residents help with the care of nursery children, helping to prepare food for special events or even simply giving them the ability to shop for new clothes despite their limited mobility lets them have fun and feel that life has a purpose, no matter how challenging times may be.
· Helping them stay connected: We know that every one of our residents had a whole life outside of Blenheim, and that many still do. That's one of the reasons we operate a fully open-door policy, allowing visitors to come and go as they please and to drop in on their loved ones when it suits. As much as we work hard to develop fun filled activity programmes for our residents, sometimes nothing beats a visit from your own family!
We know that visitors and community events are absolutely crucial to the success of our home, and to the health and wellbeing of every one of our residents. If you'd like to find out more about how to get involved or what we have planned in the coming weeks, simply get in touch with our friendly team.

Arlingtons necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 204 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Arlingtons is an Australian family-owned & run fresh food business.
With humble beginnings 20 years ago as a local green grocer, we now focus on creating delicious, all natural foods under the reputation of our family name.
As our products grow more popular and become more recognised, our old logo needs to catch up and look as fresh as our products taste.
The winning logo must identify with our current logo that has been representing our brand, family name, fruit & veg shop and fresh food business for many years.
The new look logo will brace itself for a future of refreshing the look of our whole fresh food range. It will be used on our product packaging, business cards, letterheads, website, our delivery van and possibly for future signage of our green grocer shop.
The products we make are pure and simple, using only fresh all natural ingredients that are free from additives and preservatives.
So you can get a feel for Arlingtons, the products the logo will be
used for are:
- "Famous Hommus" dips, with Original, Beetroot and Thai Chilli Lime flavours.
- "Wild Rocket Pesto" dip.
- "Fruit Tapioca" desserts, with Coconut, Mango, Passionfruit, Sweet Lemon Lime, Peach, Apple & Cinnamon and Raspberry flavours.
- "Dip-ins" crispbread, made from authentic ethnic bread.
- "Belgian Chocolate Mousse" and
- "Fruit Yoghurts"We currently use the motto's "Impress Your Tastebuds" and "Real Food for Real Taste".
Stay tuned: our next design contest will be for the design of the "Fruit Tapioca" dessert range packaging.
- The logo is our family name only, will also consider use of an image or motto. Don't feel restricted.
- Colours scheme is Australian colours Green & Gold (green and yellow). Other colours are fine so long as they can be interchanged and only single colour.
- Would like to keep using same or similar font (Freehand found on front page) for easy recognition.
- This is a jaz up, not complete redesign.
- Logo is bold, striking and defined, to be used on white and colour background.
- Horizontal rectangular is preferrable to square.
- The rest is entirely up to you !
- No capitals please.
- No leaves please.

For a review of the 2007 conference and more photos, check out the April 15, 2007 post at this website.

Some of the vegan Peruvian dishes I made in my demo :
Trigo (a spicy wheat dish; recipe here)
Causa, a potato terrine (Update: recipe in my book World Vegan Feast)

That potato terrine looks more French than Peruvian...whatever it is, I want to try it.
I made your vegetable bread pudding for dinenr last week. We loved it. It's now officially on my "old standby "list. Thanks!

Thanks so much for sharing about the conference. I am amazed by all I see going on in the Seattle and surrounding area of the world, surely I would have a hard time finding a meat eater up there by seeing the wealth of veg blogs! Sometimes I feel fo far from "veg" civilization in the middle of pesticide fields, cow, pig, and chicken factory farms. The little farmer is almost extinct here unless they have turned towards factory farming... "it's the only way one can make a living today" one farmer I know says.
I'm awake down here though and secretly turning a whole generation of highschoolers in the middle of the "heartland" into vegs!

Hi Bryanna,
That's the best Causa you've ever done! Beautiful! The pictures sure look great. The Chefs all look so enlightened and happy! I love vegan chefs!

Thanks, all! SIV, we did smaller terrines in those long, enameled-cast-iron, covered orange ceramic terrine pans (here's a picture)
THey are expensive pans, but the school had lots of them!

Dori, there aren't as many vegetarians out here as it looks like, but alot of "almost" or "occasional" vegetarians!
I am going to be addressing a high school class about veganism, in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories in September! Quite a challenge!
- Thu May 03, 08:44:00 PM PDT
I wish we had a good, encouraging word for the "almost vegetarians." Whenever I talk to someone like that, they simply say they are "trying to eat less meat" or "trying to eat healthier." (One is tempted to put on a Yoda voice and say, "There is no try... there is only do.") I once thought "veg-conscious" would do, but it isn't quite descriptive enough. Maybe "veg-aware?"
- Sun May 06, 01:19:00 AM PDT
"Veg-aware" ! I love that :)
Bryanna, what wonderful creations ! Works of art, really.
...And, you are beautiful <3

Thank you, Gaia!

Is Ten Ton Mantis making a duck face?
As a neuroscientist I have to disagree with the perception that anyone is doing mathematical modeling of cognitive intelligence, yet; intelligence as an economist defines it, yes, but economists are worlds away from actual cognition.

Abuse victim's family says Health Department failed to act
Medical records requested
The family of a woman who said she was abused at an Oklahoma City nursing home claims the state Health Department has done nothing as a result.
Members of the Mayberry family said they requested medical records from the Department of Health one year ago and they still haven't heard anything.
"We thought these people were wonderful and when we saw the video, we were just in amazement that this was going on with our mother," said the 96-year-old abuse victim's daughter. "It isn't just our mother. I'm sure this is going on right now somewhere."
The surveillance video shows a caretaker stuffing latex gloves in Eryetha Mayberry's mouth and is an example of abuse that her daughters say shouldn't be ignored.
"Everyone needs to put cameras in the nursing home rooms, because if we wouldn't have had this camera, we wouldn't have had any proof of what was going on. We wouldn't have known," said Mayberry's daughter.
In the past three and a half years, the state board of health has cited 20 cases of failure to protect residents from abuse. The 20 cases are out of 300 nursing homes in the state.
Victim advocates say the number is low for a problem that might be out of hand in Oklahoma.
"It's all about power and control, and anybody who watches this video knows this was not the first time that these two aides had abused a resident," one victim advocate said.
The Health Department released a statement saying that the Quail Creek Nursing Center filed a report in April 2011. It said, "The report demonstrated that the nursing facility took prompt and appropriate action. Law enforcement determined that the abuse was the result of a criminal act attributable to the nurse aides."
