MOSH Instruction 07-03 - Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH)
By and Under the Authority of
Struck/Crushed by Hazards in Construction LEP
I. Purpose. This Instruction establishes an LEP for struck/crushed by hazards in the construction industry.
II. Scope. This Instruction applies to all Regional Offices.
III. References. None
IV. Expiration. This Instruction expires on September 30, 2008.
V. Action Information.
A. Responsible Office:
Office of the Assistant Commissioner
VI. Action. MOSH compliance personnel shall ensure that the procedures contained in this directive are followed when conducting this LEP. The Regional Offices will implement the procedures described in section VIII of this Instruction in response to imminent dangers or serious struck/crushed by hazards that are identified on construction sites. The Regional Supervisors shall use the LEP as a basis for scheduling and conducting safety inspections of construction sites. This LEP is intended to be used on any construction site where struck/crushed by hazards have been alleged and/or identified to initiate safety inspections. These inspections may be expanded to comprehensive inspections of multi employer construction sites in accordance with the guidelines established in the FOM.
VII. Background. Construction has long been recognized as a high hazard industry and is one of the industries targeted in MOSH's Five Year Strategic Plan. The State has experienced significant construction activity in recent years. Accidents relating to struck/crushed by hazards are one of the leading causes of serious injuries and fatalities. It is believed through a local emphasis program that increases awareness and accelerates enforcement activity, injuries can be reduced. It is also recognized that a tracking mechanism for these type inspections would prove beneficial in monitoring the area of struck/crushed by hazards. In the past, many unprogrammed inspections have been conducted through CSHO self referrals, imminent danger complaints or through accident investigations. This LEP is designed to increase inspection activity, provide tracking, enhance expertise and formalize procedures.
VIII. Procedures. This LEP will be conducted throughout the State.
A. An inspection targeting system which encompasses identification of sites at the beginning of the quarter and the random selection of sites is not practical. Hazards related to struck/crushed by hazards on construction sites are normally transient and of limited duration. This limits the practicality of targeting the site in advance. Therefore, inspections conducted under this LEP would be initiated by several means: CSHO observance, non formal complaints, and referrals from other outside sources.
B. All work sites where struck/crushed by hazards are observed by compliance officers will be selected for inspection under this LEP. These sites shall include but shall not be limited to:
When a job site with struck/crushed by hazards is noted during travel, the CSHO will notify the supervisor with the name of the contractor (if known) and the location of the site. The supervisor will determine if the site has been inspected within the last 30 days. If the site has not been inspected within the last 30 days, permission will be given to inspect the site. If the site has been inspected within the last 30 days, an inspection will be authorized only if an imminent danger appears to be present, or at the Regional Supervisor's discretion. These inspections will normally be limited to the imminent danger situation and plain view items. The CSHO will remain at the site to observe the abatement procedures and/or to assist with abatement methods. CSHOs will record these inspections as referral inspections.
A. A large number of struck/crushed by hazards are reported via referrals and complaints, both of a formal and a non formal nature. Formal complaints of struck/crushed by hazards on construction sites will continue to be scheduled before programmed inspections. Non formal complaints and referrals which would normally be handled by letters will be handled in accordance with paragraph VIII.B. above. Inspection history and the scope of the inspection will be handled in the same manner.
IX. Recording in IMIS. The IMIS identifier code to be used in item 25c on the OSHA-1 will be "CRSHSTRK".

Connecticut voters had a nearly unique experience when Ned Lamont defeated incumbent United States Senator Joseph Lieberman in a Democratic primary earlier this month. The last time a long-time U.S. Senator was defeated in a Democratic primary, anywhere in the country, was back in 1974. This was also the last year that there was a switch in party majority for either the New York State Senate or the New York State Assembly. Unlike Connecticut, however, the State of New York almost surely will once again have a doubt-free fall.
Two big races are considered competitive in the primary on September 12th -- for Attorney General, and for the Congressional seat in Brooklyn vacated by Major Owens. Few New Yorkers are breathless in suspense over the races for U.S. Senator and New York's governor, and victory in most of the state legislative "races" is already assured.
Over the past 16 years, New York has had few competitive primary election races, and fewer still that resulted in the unseating of an incumbent, with just three such instances in the past three elections. Even legislators with criminal charges don't always lose their seats. "New York's Next Legislator" would make a terribly boring reality show, though occasionally an interesting soap opera.
In September, though there are 26 seats in the State Senate representing New York City, there will be only nine primary races (seven Democrats, two Republican). Of 65 seats in the State Assembly representing New York City, only 20 primaries are planned (all but two of which are for the Democratic Party). These numbers keep declining as candidates are removed from the ballot at the last minute. This scant number of primaries is typical throughout the whole state. Less than one in five New York City voters registered with a major party will have a reason to go to the polls September 12th and even fewer will be confident that their vote could make any difference.
However, with low turnouts in Primary Elections, each of those votes could count even more.
Assembly 22 (Queens)—Julia Harrison vs. Terrence Park vs. Ellen Young (Democratic Party). Incumbent Jimmy Meng is leaving the seat due to health problems. His daughter Grace Meng was removed from the ballot after a residency requirement challenge.
Assembly 25 (Queens)—Morshed Alam vs. Rory Lancman (Democratic Party). Brian McLaughlin is vacating the seat to work fulltime at the New York City Central Labor Council.
Assembly District 46 (South Brooklyn) -- Alec Brooks-Krasny vs. Ari Kagan vs. Martin Levine (Democratic Primary). Longtime Assemblymember Adele Cohen is not seeking reelection.
Assembly 57 (Brooklyn) — Bill Batson vs. Freddie Hamilton vs. Hakeem Jeffries (Democratic Party). Incumbent Roger Green is leaving the seat to run for Congress. Hakeem Jeffries challenged Green in 2000.
Assembly District 60 (Brooklyn/Staten Island) -- Joseph Cammarata vs. Anthony Xanthakis (Republican Primary). Incumbent Assemblymember Matthew Mirones is not seeking reelection.
Senate 20 (Prospect Park area of Brooklyn)—Eric Adams vs. Anthony Alexis vs. Guillermo Philpotts (Democratic Party). Incumbent Carl Andrews is vacating the seat to run for Congress.
Senate 24 (Staten Island)—Robert Helbock vs. Andrew Lanza (Republican Primary). Incumbent John Marchi is retiring from the seat. The winner of this contest will have to beat the Democratic challenger Matthew Titone in the fall to keep this seat Republican.
Assembly 74 (Manhattan Eastside and downtown)—Sylvia Friedman vs. Brian Kavanagh vs. Juan Pagan vs. Esther Yang (Democratic Primary). Friedman won the seat in the February special election.
Senate 13 (Queens—Jackson Heights)—John Sabini vs. Hiram Monserrate (Democratic Primary). Incumbent Sabini faces City Councilmember Monserrate.
Senate 18 (Mid Brooklyn)—Tracy Boyland vs. Velmanette Montgomery (Democratic Party). Former City Council Member Boyland, of the well-known Brooklyn political family, is challenging longtime incumbent Montgomery.
Queens has especially few contested primaries, a legacy of the careful planning of Tom Manton, the recently deceased head of the Queens County Democratic Association.
Queens Senate 2006
Democratic Primary -- 2 out of 7 races will hold a primary
Republican Primary -- 0 out of 7 races will hold a primary
General Election -- 4 out of 7 races are contested
Queens Assembly 2006
Democratic Primary -- 3 out of 18 races will hold a primary
Republican Primary -- 1 our of 18 races will hold a primary
General Election -- 7 out of 18 races are contested
This is nothing new. In 2004, New York City could have had as many as 130 Assembly primaries, but had 17, and 60 Senate primaries, but had 12.
Even when primary elections occur, the results are usually blowouts. Only one of the 12 Senate primaries in 2004 had a margin of victory less than ten percent (Democratic Primary District 21 Kevin Parker v. Noach Dear). Just two of the 17 Assembly primaries had a margin of victory less than 10 percent (Democratic Primary District 61 Lavelle v. McLean and Republican Primary District 62 Vincent Ignizio v. Robert Straniere).
Of course, incumbents may be doing their jobs well and earning the support of their constituents, but public opinion polls indicate otherwise. In a poll conducted by Siena College, just less than half of New York City respondents felt that their own legislators represented constituent interests as a priority, as opposed to special interests or their legislator's self interest. Only 19 percent of those respondents believed that the leaders of the legislature primarily represent their constituents' interests. And about half of New York City residents said they were dissatisfied with state government. Yet, an astonishing 98 percent of state legislators are re-elected.
Editorial boards and advocates believe that it is not constituent satisfaction that explains the lack of turnover, but that incumbents are too good at preserving their own jobs and thus artificially staying in power.
With a little planning and enough name recognition, an incumbent can overcome a criminal record, an obligatory resignation, and a strong potential challenger. In the 2000 Primary Election, Hakeem Jeffries challenged incumbent Roger Green (D-Brooklyn) and won a remarkable 40 percent of the vote. After the 2002 redistricting cycle, Jeffries's house and a chunk of Prospect Heights were no longer part of the district. In 2004, Green pled guilty to petty larceny charges and later resigned. With Hakeem Jeffries unable to become a resident of the district and campaign in time, Roger Green won an unopposed 2004 Primary Election. Under the current system, criminals can boomerang back into office and promising challengers are stifled.
Incumbents also have the advantage of name recognition, networks, and the ability to send out newsletters and updates to their constituents.
Another problem is when various candidates are bumped off the ballot at the last minute, essentially clearing out swaths of the field after the planting but before the harvest. This summer, with mixed results and piles of legal fees, many senate and assembly candidates have had their petitions or residencies challenged. Whether frontrunners or on the fringe, members of this vanishing crop must devote time and money to defending their candidacies.
Residency Requirements:
Both Grace Meng, Assembly candidate for district 22 in Queens, and Ken Diamondstone, Senate candidate for district 25 in Brooklyn, have been challenged this month for allegedly failing to meet the residency requirements. Meng has since withdrawn from the race, along with fellow district 22 candidate Terrence Park whose petitions were challenged, but just got back on the ballot Thursday, August 17.
Incumbent Martin Connor (D-Senate 25), an election law specialist who served on the DSCC and worked for Tom Golisano's 2002 gubernatorial campaign, filed a ballot access charge of his own against his challenger Diamondstone. The Board of Elections ruled against Diamondstone's claim of residency, but he subsequently succeeded in an appeal to the Supreme Court of New York and is back on the ballot as of mid-August. Connors is appealing that decision though, so the Diamondstone campaign continues to languish as legal proceedings continue. A challenger has a difficult enough time campaigning against an incumbent, and its all the more difficult when you are getting knocked off the ballot.
Petition Challenges:
Depending on the district and party (higher for Democratic candidates because of the higher enrollments), state senate candidates need between several hundred and a thousand valid signatures to run for office. Assembly candidates need between a couple hundred and five hundred signatures. To secure their positions on the ballot, candidates typically gather twice the number of signatures required to protect against challenges, but even that extra effort is not always enough.
Juan Pagan, a Democratic candidate for Assembly District 74 had to defend his petitions against a challenge. He submitted the routine 1,000 signatures (twice the minimum to assure compliance), but after the challenge, the board of elections threw out half the signatures, thus putting his candidacy in jeopardy. He successfully defended the signatures in the Supreme Court of New York. A press release issued by his campaign states that the court found the objections, such as the use of the middle initial "J." on one page and the full name "John" on another, were inconsequential, and the petition forms were "inherently oblique and confusing." Pagan is back on the ballot, but has lost resources and time devoted to fighting for the validity of his signatures.
Remaining Candidates:
For Assembly District 22, this leaves behind Ellen Young, Shirley Huntley and Julia Harrison. Harrison may be best known for her comments as a city council member characterizing the increase in Asian constituents in her district as an "invasion, not assimilation." With two of the best funded and best known candidates out of the race, Ellen Young's well financed campaign is more secure. Candidates who would have run but were intimidated by Meng's name recognition and legacy did not get into the race. Likewise, contributions to Meng's campaign could have gone elsewhere, and Terrence Park had to invest time and other resources into fighting for his candidacy.
Other wackiness:
Beyond disappearing elections, candidates are also dealing with disappearing computers. Incumbent Senator John D. Sabini (D-13), who is facing a tough challenge from City Councilmember Hiram Monserrate had two computers stolen from his headquarters on August 14th.
Assembly District 74 has an incumbent, Sylvia Friedman elected in the Special Election. Friedman has the security of incumbency, but Brian Kavanagh, who ran for City Council last year, has raised twice as much money as she has.
Primary Elections often dictate the winner of the General Election in New York City, and fundraising abilities, party support and ballot access further
Are nonpartisan elections a viable option? These are not often discussed at the state level.
In 2003, Mayor Michael Bloomberg pushed for nonpartisan primary elections. This failed campaign was somewhat controversial. The proposal was seen as a
-pet project forced onto ballot
-backed by Bloomberg's own resources
-and potentially a partisan ploy
Perhaps the most compelling pitch would be an Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) system. This method of preferential voting is currently employed by the Academy Awards.
With candidate rankings, the relationship between voters and their representatives changes. The voter would be able to rank candidates in order of preference, so that even if his or her top choice may lose, the second and third choices still count.
This system could:
-guarantee that in elections with more than two candidates, the victor will win 50% or more of the vote
-eliminate the cost and confusion of runoff elections for voters, candidates and the board of elections
-decrease the deleterious effects of "spoiler" candidates on frontrunners, and allows voters who vote for the fringe candidates to have their preferences still matter in the race
-reduce negative campaigning (and gratuitous ballot challenges) because candidates will likely need positive rankings from an array of voters to win.
If the system is good enough for the Oscars, then it could be good enough for New York State, though critics claim it may be too complicated. Recently, North Carolina implemented IRV and the Minneapolis City Council voted to put the issue on the November ballot.
A few elected officials in New York are advocating for implementing IRV. A bipartisan bill (Assembly Bill A3510/Senate Bill S1671) to test IRV in selected local elections and ultimately around the state is alive, but continues to sit in the Election Law Committee with few cosponsors.
Redistricting reform: Currently, redistricting is a partisan process where the Legislature is very much involved in the drawing of district lines. In the confines of a single bill, the Republican-led Senate and Democrat-led Assembly pass each others plans to preserve their own majorities, which have been intact for decades. The resulting district plans tend to favor incumbents and pass without complaint from the Governor. This system maintains the status quo, artificially protects incumbents and decreases the ability for outsiders to break into the inner circle.
Proposals for an independent commission would add a degree of separation between the legislature and the apportionment of their constituents. With proper implementation, this reform could help crack the concentration of power that the Senate leader, Assembly leader and the Governor have in state government. All the gubernatorial candidates have made this a priority in their campaigns and bills are active in both the Senate and Assembly.
New York State primary elections have the potential to be more compelling for voters and candidates alike, whether this is achieved through redistricting, better campaign finance rules and practices, reform of ballot access, or a complete overhaul of the voting system.

Conowingo Dam, Susquehanna State Park, and the C&D Canal
The final day of Journey 1 would be spent at Conowingo Dam, the Susquehanna State Park and the C&D canal. Built in 1925, the Conowingo Dam is a major milestone in the development of the Bay's watershed with a contribution of roughly 1.6 billion kilowatt hours to the Atlantic grid. However, there are major consequences to its installation that students would explore as they geared up for the next set of lectures and Journeys focused on the ecology and environment of the Chesapeake.

I've been reading through old issues of the Leighton Buzzard Observer and have transcribed some 1863 cricket reports for a new Cricketers page on the website. Sounds like Wing wasn't bad! Did any of your ancestors play? Some of these reports are particularly interesting as they are farm vs farm, meaning you may learn your ancestor's employer.

The horn's mellow sound can turn a simple tune into something that both soothes and lifts the spirit. Horns can also be tremendously powerful and when the whole section plays loudly the sound will break through any orchestral texture.
Before the 20th century most people recognised the horn's strong relationship with the hunting horns of the past and composers frequently used wrote rustic hunting style music for the horns. However in our modern, urbanised times the horn has lost its rural connotations for us.
Perhaps the most common use of the horn is simply as harmonic filling - somewhere between the bass line and the melody. Horns are perfect for holding long, sustained notes discretely in the background above which melodies can float, around which accompaniments weave and beneath which bass lines wander. This use of the horn is one of the key orchestral techniques that composers learn early on. This is not simply because it's one of the great ways of tying the orchestra together to create a unified sound, but because it's very easy to do and sounds fantastic.
The reason the horn is so wrapped up is that it would be very difficult to transport some 17 feet of metal if it was in a straight line. The horn has a conical bore, which means that it starts small at one end and gradually widens. It is not conical throughout the whole instrument; it is cylindrical within the valve section. The mouthpiece comes in different shapes and sizes: different diameters right at the small end and the bore of the mouthpiece and the size and depth of the lip of the mouthpiece can be wider or narrower.

International Charter on Space & Major Disasters
The wealth of Earth Observation data for which ESA is responsible has led to its becoming a founder, and major player, in the International Charter on Space and Natural Disasters. The Charter is a joint effort between member space agencies to place their satellite resources at the disposal of rescue authorities in the event of disasters of both human or natural origin.
An operator is on 24-hour call at ESRIN ready to deal with requests for assistance from civil protection authorities. On receiving a request, they check the identity of the caller and verify that the information needed to respond to the emergency is specified correctly.
This information is then passed by the operator to an on-call officer who analyses the request and the scope of the disaster with the user to establish how to use the satellites that can provide data to the charter to their best abilities. The final step is to prepare an acquisition and processing plan using the available space resources.
Data acquisition and delivery takes place on an emergency basis, and a project manager, qualified in data ordering, handling and application, assists the user throughout the process.

Hey Doug, hope you had a good time in Myrtle Beach. I'm originally from Wilmington NC so used to go there a lot. Of course it's changed a lot since I was a teenager. I'm doing well - working alot which I guess is a good thing. How are you doing? I'm due for a colonoscopy but keeping putting it off - have you had one? Let me know if you are going to be in Florida next year.
Thank you Duge! I can't believe it has been 18 year! I'm doing fantastic. Hope you are doing great as well.

Hey Doug, saw your visitor message. I guess this is the right way to reply. I'm getting over a round with a herniated disk. Couldn't walk for a few weeks - was using my wheelchair. Hope you are doing well. Has your wife fully recovered?
Hi! We have Black Australorp hens. We got four of them last year, for the eggs and also for the kids. They're like big not so bright pets that poop everywhere... we finally had to confine them to their coop because were getting so tired of cleaning up the poop. How many chickens do you have? Do you eat them, or use them for the eggs?
Yeah, it didn't do much here at all. Are you by Bedford? I have a friend there and that's where I heard that there was a tornado. Glad you're okay!
Thanks for the warm welcome! Have a nice holiday weekend.
It's not doing anything at the moment, but I guess it's supposed to get stormy throughout the day with chances of tornadoes later on today/tonight. I'm thankful we have a basement but no stairlift yet, so that means Ryan has to butt bump down which he's only done 3 times so far. Hope you don't get hit with more nasty weather!
Are you taking the piss? lol x

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I was injured in 1994 in a car accident. Ejected about 70 feet and broke my back at T-10. It's been really smooth for the 16 years post injury until I got a sore on my ischium. It is now about 1 cm wide and 8 cm deep. Flap surgery on the 7th.
Nice to meet you duge! Thanks for the message.
hello hello Druge...now I got other issues.......what to do ablout my home health aide
thanks, its just something i took awhile ago to use a reference photo for a drawing.
just stopping by to say I'm still around...still in some pain with this weather changing as always...it's bad in the mornings but once I been up and work it out, it gets better...sitting still too long causes it to act up...and that's what's happening now, so see you later...got to get moving or else the pain catches up with me...
duge, was reading through some of these, i was afraid to ask what the picture was (:
When i came across Jody's questions, i haven't had that good of a laugh in a long time!
Glad your wife is better, and i REALLY get doctors missing things.
I was diagnosed complete as soon as i was flown into the trauma, my spine was pulled over to the side with a huge lump, i needed immediate surgery, was put at the back of the line because "someone" decided i was toast. I was hugged by family and friends (should not have been touched) moved, layed on my back, for 30 hours! No ice to the site, no hypothermia, no care until the neurosurgeon came back from his dinner meeting and golf game next day.
wished i could make a change!!! This is why i have not seen a neuro in 4-5 years! I am going to try Arndog's doctor, just called today, am waiting for a return call to set up a appt.
Maybe i do have nocioceptive pain, would it not be awesome to get some relief, anything, to come down from a 10 or more like 20 down to a 15 or so. (: Why do you have such foot pain, hypersensitivity?
hi friend
Hey Duge, I hope your feeling better. I am still having krazy pain in my back, hips and leg area. I was hurt on my L1 and there are parts of my hips, butt, left leg down to my knee that are numb. My pain feel like ive been beaten up and some burning on my left leg. I have been taking Oxycodone, and taking too many pills - i am very constipated. I have tried gabapetin and lyrica when I was in the hospital but stopped it out of fear of getting hooked. well, well I think I am hooked on these freggin pain killers. I cant even sleep without taking them. What do you think I should do?
oh yeah...I'm spending way to much time on facebook too...can't get enough of Bejeweled...lol...
well the one screw that was on the "head" of the ankle bone made wearing a shoe painful since that screw had a way of setting the nerves off in my foot...couldn't sleep much at night...soon as I would doze off, electical shocks...as for pain killers, they don't work for me at all...went without them...
Hi, Well I am glad your walking! tell me what do you takr for pain? I fell in the bathroom ( dont laugh, and thats how I got hurt. I remember screaming with pain, and never stopped since.
My husband was flown to U of L, too. Thankfully for him, he had a good experience there. They saved his life (a few times). He was there for 5 weeks and then inpatient at Frazier in Louisville for 6 weeks. He still goes to Frazier for outpatient therapy now and will probably be going to Nortons to have his hardware removed from his spine.
hey got your msg...nothing much...just had surgery on my leg and had some of the hardware removed...feeling much better now that the four screws and plate is gone...they left one screw saying it is a "support" screw...???...yeah right...as long as it doesn't bother me like the plate and such...I'll be happy...hope you're doing well...haven't gone through this website yet to play catch-up...sorry, I don't know nothing about what's going on here...
Thanks! We're in Southern Indiana - really close to Louisville, Ky.
Oh sorry to hear about your feet...I my-slef have my days with serious back,nerve and leg pain. I hope you feel better. Nah, the picture is fine, and if your happy with it then that's all that matters...or maybe you can put a picture up of your-self...

Hello Mr DA,
Law enforcement has always been my thing.....Always glad to have a new friend.
ummm whats that pic of above? do i even wanna know?
I don't know what transplants are being used to treat foot pain. I am skeptical. Wise.
Hey Doug. I haven't tried Facebook - my wife does it all of the time. Do you find a lot of SCI stuff there or just keep up with friends? Have you seen the posts by Dr Xiao on carecure - he sure makes the nerve rerouting sound promising.
Right now it looks like the oil is going to hit the east coast of FL and not us. It really is a disaster - with no end in sight.
Take care and stay in touch.

Dude what the hell is that thing in that picture?
I've been alright... I can't seem to figure out what I want to spend my time doing. My priorities are all messed up and I feel constantly overwhelmed. Otherwise... I'm A-Okay. How about yourself?
Umm... I'd say so. I assume it's not yours.
Forgive me but... What the... is that picture? Looks intense.
I'll definitely do that. Is it dad's guitar pickin' debut? Interesting title, I'm guessin' its not about sewin' and soup. I'm thinkin Neil Young.
i got hurt playing on my snowmobile, should of gone to a doctor my back was hurting, instead hit the bar loop on the sled and loosened my back up with a few pitchers....it was so out of alignment i shattered my vertebrate on a landing. watching doty at eldora was a highlight of my racing for sure, and that little punk sammy hit him! lol. wolfie was out and sitting there burning. stuff nightmares are made of for sure. i can't wait to show my buddy an electrician your picture. i can't make myself look at it again :-)
send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com i envy that you got to watch doty. i only got to see him at eldora when they put the hand controls in.....gary gave him the number to my hospital room when i got hurt and he and forbrook......kind of saved me to say. i have a good story about doty riding around eldora...shoot me an email
when i first worked for stanton the kid i worked with (married a kinser and lives in kinser turmoil in bloomington area now) was buddies with wolfies daughters and of course wolfie worked for gary, soooooo when i first went to sioux falls...races,drinks,:-). wolfgang was my hero....and i know he lost a lot of fans with the lawsuit but if you ever met this guy and knew what really happened you would think of it in a different light. he is definitely a stand up guy. he sued because he had no money (think of our med bills) he was in a coma while his wife had a kid. if Mark.....think about that....if Mark had not ran out there and pulled him out he would have sat there and fried to death....you take a chance riding to work every day if you are a truck driver or postman but to not have some kind of safety crew at a race track! come on now. i was there when gobrecht died too....parked next to him and i watched the 1964 ghostbusters look alike ambulance park at the edge of the road and wait
hey... cold shoulder?? Maybe...if you say pretty please with a snowcone on top? (can this get any cornier?? )

There very well could be bells in the future, but I'm not one to rush anything!
He's not new Been with him for a year & a half now. Your profile pic creeps me out!! Owie. Hope all is well.
Pretty much that same happened to my husband and I in 02. Lady not paying attention attempted a left in front of us and we broadsided her. We were luckier than you I see....sorry about your T12 burst fracture, hope you are doing better now. I'll go look at your bike. I'm praying that my hubby will be able to ride again.. his injury is the result of a surgical accident by a doc in too big a hurry!
part 3: I have been feeling "better" lately and last MRI showed the lesions is shrinking. So, it's a wait and see game for now. Another MRI in 5 months.
I've been trying to read as much of these forums as I can, but damn, some of it just breaks my heart, and makes me feel guilty that I was freaking out about what's wrong with me, where in reality, I should be thankful.
Wow, sorry for being so long winded, but thanks for listening/reading. This shit is very scary.
part 2: Sent me for an MRI and low and behold - there it was. Nice sized lesion in C2-3 area. I had an LP (spinal tap) that turned out well, but back in the tube for 2 more MRI's - brain and thorasic. Nothing there. Ok, I do have a brain, but no other lesions. An EMG showed demylenation on my left side. My left ankle is very "slow" but doesn't bother me too much I can deal with that. I have TM, but was/am extremely lucky. I am fully mobile. My left chest and shoulder area constantly feels like I have bugs crawling and then every few minutes, it will feel like someone stuck me with an ice pick. That sucks. Some spasming in my left shoulder and arm, but that only happens about once or twice a day. My right side is hyper-sensitive to cold, left side loves it. Talk about frayed wires.
Part 1: Came from an effin' cold and me not resting, we think. I got "sick" in July 2008, and let it go. Was down in Evanville 1st week in August and felt pretty good. Then I got really bad, I went to 2 GP's who helped less than my dog did. After a severe reaction to antibiotics, developing tremors and just not feeling well, I went to the ER on Sept. 1, 2208. By that time, I had parathesia in both hands and both feet. I thought I was going to die. Any who, the ER did a CT, EKG, chest X-ray and sent me home with a "see a neurologist." Luckily, I hooked up with a great team in Merrillville who are associated with the Cleveland Clinic. They believed me.
Hey hoosier - how's it going? I'm at day 2 @ 225, and so far nothing. Neuro said 3rd day should tell me if I can of can't stay there. We'll see.
You can see extra "bony" material (calcium deposits) between the vertebrate and the spinal cord. Especially, in the "yellow" one, you can see where the bony material is compressing the cord. My SCI was caused by a fractured calcium deposit at T8-9.
Yes, what do you think?
I am sorry that I haven't been checking my visitor messages every day. In my opinion, fentanyl does affect neuropathic pain, such as the "burning" that you describe. So, since you have reduced the Fentanyl, it would not be surprising if you get back some neuropathic pain. I have not heard that Fentanyl affects spasms but the spasms may be a result of the neuropathic pain. On the other hand, Lyrica should reduce spasms. So, I am not sure what is going on.
what the? is that a pee pee? oy! thanx for the request, im rather shaken by that poor peepee. it must be a peepee, what else could be? hung like a raisin. what the heck happened to it?
It's a picture of a guy who pissed on a live electric wire, kinda brings back memories of pissing on a electric fence!! kinda roasted it wouldn't you say?

Definition: Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which thyroid glands performs excessive functional activity and produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism, thus, accelerate body?s metabolic rate, cause enlargement of the thyroid gland, rapid heart rate, and high blood pressure.
Symptoms: The symptoms of hyperthyroidism include rapid heartbeat, fatigue, skin dryness, hand tremors, nervousness or anxiety, irregular heartbeat, weight loss, Increased frequency of bowel movements.
Treatment and Statistics: Hyperthyroidism can be treated with antithyroid medications like methimazole and propylthiouracil that suppress the production of thyroid hormones. Another way is radioactive iodine therapy which disrupt the cells that produce thyroid hormones. Also, surgery can be used to treat by removing the part or entire thyroid. In about 80% of people with primary hyperparathyroidism, a benign, or noncancerous, tumor called an adenoma has formed in one of the parathyroid glands.

Will boosting your metabolism help you lose weight?
Trying to boost your metabolism probably won't lead to weight loss, at least not to the degree that changing your diet and lifestyle habits will. For example, caffeine has been shown to very slightly increase metabolism, but it doesn't appear to have a significant effect on long-term weight loss.
How much you weigh really depends on the number of calories you eat and how much physical activity you get.
Only rarely is excessive weight gain caused by a medical problem that slows metabolism, such as Cushing's syndrome or an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
To lose weight, focus on the factors you have control over. These can help you manage your weight and possibly improve your metabolism.
- Calories. To lose weight, reduce the number of calories in your diet. And keep in mind that as you age, you may need even fewer calories. This is because the amount of muscle tends to decrease as you get older, leading to an overall increase in fat. Fat tissue burns fewer calories than does muscle.
- Activity. Get more physical activity and exercise. This is especially important to prevent regaining the weight you lose. Aerobic activity helps you burn calories, and strengthening exercises can help you maintain and build muscle mass.
If you're concerned about your weight or you think your metabolism is too slow, talk with your doctor. Your doctor can check for medical causes and help you adopt healthy lifestyle changes to help your weight loss.

swynne necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Our intention is to completely revamp the look and feel of our website guided by our new logo and tagline.
Please look at the equibrandconsulting.com and also the getaha.com newsletter especially for design elements for the look and structure we are seeking and we have our new stationary done!
Files are located at: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7hxe0u
(Let me know if you have any issues with this and I can send information via email.)
We want the site to accomplish two goals: 1) A lead generator for clients seeking service professional provider referrals; and
2) A destination resource for potential Network Partner service providers.
What we do as a company is work with entrepreneurs and managers to determine what service providers they need and then match them with people in our network or search for the right provider for them. Its a matching process and is a unique way to get a referral for hiring non-employees. (Employers often use search firms and their is no search firm like ours.)
Please let us know if you are available for addition design work and are capable of coding and back end development work.
6degreesCONNECT.com Six Degrees Connect Tagline - referral match
For this contest, we ask that designer submit a home page and a secondary page. The pages should start all over with the new logo, tagline use. I will email language for the pages as requested. I will also email logo files.
Here is a list of vertical links and horozontal links. Please see equibrandconsulting.com to get an idea of the use of these links.
Home Page -Should have a branding effect and a terrific description of our company.
About Us -Across the top links About Us, Our Purpose, Our Team, Why Us?

• We want to completely revamp the look with our new logo and tagline "referral match."
• We want a visually pleasing and elegant design that utilizes whitespace. Very clean.
• We really like the idea of using the gray circular watermark that shows up on 99designs when you search "six degrees" but is not contained on the logo files. It is a light gray circular design around the whole logo and softens the look.
• Use black and gray with a gradation of blues or grays. Other colors can be integrated but should not feel too busy or campy.
• We are located in Austin TX home of the longhorns. A second color could be Texas orange for links and such and also a pic of Austin would be great.
• Really like the site: equibrandconsulting.com for the structure but made into our own. They are a marketing consulting firm. We like a designer look and feel - really simple but our own.
• Our brand is professional, sharp with a unique flair
• If you decide to do the second page on who we are - please provide a better layout for the pictures which is really bad on the current site.
• Every page should have a button for Request a Referral and Join Our Network
• We dont want it to be too busy.
• We dont want to look unprofessional
• We dont want a design that is overly loud or disruptive to a clean and elegant focus
• BUT we dont want to be totally asleep either as we are a new company with a new idea
• We are in Austin a young and growing city and proud but not a Texas cowboy kind of feel!

|Lisp is a family of
computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive
fully-parenthesized syntax. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the
second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today;
only Fortran is older. Like Fortran, Lisp has changed a great deal
since its early days, and a number of dialects have existed over its
history. Today, the most widely-known general-purpose Lisp dialects are
Common Lisp and Scheme.
Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, based on Alonzo Church's lambda calculus. It quickly became the favored programming language for artificial intelligence research. As one of the earliest programming languages, Lisp pioneered many ideas in computer science, including tree data structures, automatic storage management, dynamic typing, object-oriented programming, and the self-hosting compiler.
The name Lisp derives from "List Processing". Linked lists are one of Lisp languages' major data structures, and Lisp source code is itself made up of lists. As a result, Lisp programs can manipulate source code as a data structure, giving rise to the macro systems that allow programmers to create new syntax or even new "little languages" embedded in Lisp.
The interchangeability of code and data also give Lisp its instantly recognizable syntax. All program code is written as s-expressions, or parenthesized lists. A function call or syntactic form is written as a list with the function or operator's name first, and the arguments following; for instance, a function f that takes three arguments might be called using (f x y z).
Lisp was invented by John McCarthy in 1958 while he was at MIT. McCarthy published its design in a paper in Communications of the ACM in 1960, entitled "Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine, Part I"[1](Part II was never published). He showed that with a few simple operators and a notation for functions, one can build a Turing-complete language for algorithms.
Lisp was first implemented by Steve Russell on an IBM 704 computer. Russell had read McCarthy's paper, and realized (to McCarthy's surprise) that the eval function could be implemented as a Lisp interpreter.
The first complete Lisp compiler, written in Lisp, was implemented in 1962 by Tim Hart and Mike Levin at MIT.[2] This compiler introduced the Lisp model of incremental compilation, in which compiled and interpreted functions can intermix freely. The language used in Hart and Levin's memo is much closer to modern Lisp style than McCarthy's earlier code.

Educators upset over classroom appliance rule
APS officials say policy isn't new
An Albuquerque Public Schools teacher contacted KOAT Action 7 News after receiving a memo last week saying microwaves and mini fridges are no longer allowed in the classroom.
"We are no longer going to be allowed to have small refrigerators, microwaves, hot plates, printers and things like that," the teacher wrote. "We haven't had a raise in four years and this was one of the few perks we had and now they are taking that away because they say it's costing them too much."
KOAT took the complaint to Ellen Bernstein, president of the teacher's union, who said she was contacted about the same thing.
"It's a huge blow to teachers and they don't understand 'why now?' and 'why me?'" Bernstein said.
Bernstein said teachers like to have the appliances in their classroom because it allows them to do more.
'We stay in our classrooms to work during breaks," Bernstein said. "We keep kids during lunch to work with them. It's not a matter of teacher convenience; it's a matter of teacher practice."
An APS spokesperson said the policy is in effect because the appliances are a hazard. The spokesperson said facilities have had small electrical fires over the years. The spokesperson did not mention anything about cost.
District officials went on to say the policy isn't new and the memo was simply a reminder. However, Bernstein said teachers are frustrated.
"It's like, don't make my job harder. Don't take things away from me. Just let me do my job and that's how teachers feel," Bernstein said.

The problem of drugs and alcohol is one that has been with our society for generations. The way the problem has been addressed over the years is as varied as it is long. Statistically researchers have shown that a majority of the people that commit crimes, especially ones of physical violence, are under the influence of alcohol or drugs when they commit these offenses. If they are correct one can obviously see the scope of the problem we are faced with.

A Houston hospital made history on Wednesday by giving the public a front-row seat to a cesarean section birth through social media.
The public relations team at Memorial Hermann Hospital brought a video camera into the delivery room and broadcast a live feed of the birth over Twitter.
Play-by-play moves performed by Dr. Anne Gonzalez as she cut open her patient's swollen belly and pulled out a 6 pound 1 ounce boy was sent out in 140-character tweets loaded with video clips.
The mother's face was never shown and her name never revealed, but every detail of the surgery—the anesthesia needle going into the spine, the scalpel cutting into the abdomen, and the baby's head poking through the incision—was shared.
The footage is graphic, and, depending on your comfort level with blood, either beautiful or gory. Thankfully a tweet from the hospital forewarned anyone who is squeamish.
This certainly isn't the first time live video footage of a child birth has been shared via social media. In October 2011, a Canadian woman invited the public to watch her home birth live online and ever since a smattering of social media savvy moms have further propelled the trend. But this seems to be the first time a hospital and its PR team was behind the effort.
"It's fascinating to pull back the curtain on the mystery of the OR," Natalie Camarata, the social media manager at Houston's Hermann Memorial Hospital, told the Daily Mail. '"They can see every piece… these step-by-step processes that are something that happen every day. It really demystifies it."
Camarata estimates that 72,000 people watched the birth live on Twitter. When Memorial Hermann live tweeted a brain surgery, more than 235,000 watched.
Here's a look at the most exciting video clip, when doctors pull the baby from the abdomen, and to view all of the footage head over to memorialhermann.org.

SKF Engineering Consultancy Services helps oil and gas producer design for optimal service life
The challengeA major oil and gas producer began a multi-year development project to produce from reserves located several thousand meters below the sea. As the cost of bringing equipment up from the sea floor for repairs would exceed $1 million per event, the producer sought to achieve increased service life through optimized design.
The engineering team identified the traditional pump and motor bearings as one of the run-limiting components. Looking for an innovative solution that could be deployed with a high degree of confidence, the company contacted SKF.
The SKF solutionDrawing on our long experience in advanced simulation of rotating equipment, SKF engineering consultants modelled the application in our proprietary software. Using the model, SKF simulated the use of various materials for the bearing rolling elements, cages and races.
The resultsUsing various high-end materials for the rolling elements, matched with special alloy steels for the races, SKF was able to configure a bearing assembly that would achieve a maximized operating interval in the demanding conditions.
By simulating the application and the operating parameters provided by the oil and gas producer, SKF helped give the company confidence that the new bearing design would meet or exceed the required service life.
