Workers' compensation provides valuable protection to both employers and employees.
Why should you have workers' compensation insurance? In addition to being required by law, it provides the exclusive remedy for on-the-job injuries and occupational disease. Having this coverage enables you to have limited civil liability, avoid double compensation and avoid penalties and fines.
Workers' compensation provides significant and valuable benefits to both employers and employees. All states have laws requiring insurance for workers and those laws prescribe the amount and duration of the benefits provided. The policy provides the mandatory benefits required by the various state laws for accidental work-related injuries that occur in the course of employment. The injury must arise from and be related to the injured worker's job duties. The policy also covers costs for work related disease or death.
Employers liability, a component of coverage included in a workers' compensation policy, covers the insured employer against its common law or tort liability for employee injuries that fall outside the scope of the state laws or acts that are separate and distinct from the liability imposed by workers' compensation laws. Employers liability coverage responds to allegations of gross negligence on the part of the employer.

Check out videos from our contestants and see who won the competition!
Imagine the lift of a plane with the control of a helicopter and the buoyancy of a blimp, and you have the vision of our PLIMP Airship. A patented plane-blimp hybrid, the PLIMP Airship features dynamic wings―enabling it to hover, dip, ascend, bank, or spin―while effectively and uniquely supporting applications like advertising.
Egan Airships and its drone division were co-founded by identical twin brothers James and Joel Egan. As kids, they flew model gliders and threw weighted balloons. It was this early interest in flight mechanics that turned into an idea. And it was this idea that turned into an innovation developed by a world-renowned aerospace engineer. Altogether, the evolution has led to our company—and our PLIMP Aircraft—as we know it today.
We are proud of our intellectual property, which includes two 14-year design patents on our recognizably distinct airship design—a noticeable improvement over traditional airship designs. Based on extensive research and investigation, it was developed to drive maneuverability and speed, more like fixed-wing aircraft. We are also aggressively pursuing international utility patents.

Victor Hill, the sheriff of Clayton County, just south of Atlanta, is no stranger to controversy. In 2013, he faced 25 charges of corruption amid allegations that he used his office for personal gain between 2004 and 2008, but a jury acquitted him of all charges.
Last weekend, the popular sheriff stepped into another controversy when he shot a woman at a model home in an area of metro Atlanta over 40 miles away from Hill's jurisdiction.

Lip gloss to raise funds to fight ovarian cancer
ACI Consulting Group
is launching a line of lip gloss with a .46-carat, manmade diamond in the tube.
But before deciding you can't afford it, think about this: the tube of lip gloss sells for $105 and about 20 to 30 percent of the proceeds go to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance
"There isn't a whole lot of awareness of it, and we want to change that," said Greg Williams, president of ACI.
Williams and his wife, Gail Hill Williams , wanted to expand their company's outreach projects, and after talking to a friend with ovarian cancer, the couple decided to raise money for the cause.
"We really wanted to sell something that would invoke romance, compassion and love," Greg Williams said.
The idea to put a diamond in a tube of lip gloss came to Williams after he saw high rollers at casinos buying fancy cocktails with diamond garnishes.
He decided to adapt the concept by using lip gloss.
"Every girl, wife, mother, sister can use lip gloss," he said.
It took about a year to turn the idea into reality, and now ACI is ready for distribution.
Williams said he hopes the lip gloss also can raise awareness about the disease, which often doesn't get the same attention as breast cancer.
Ovarian cancer makes up 6 percent of all cancers among women, according to the American Cancer Society, and it's often called a "silent" killer.
Because early symptoms are mild, nearly 70 percent of women with ovarian cancer are not diagnosed until the disease is advanced, making it the deadliest of all cancers of the female reproductive system.
It is estimated 22,220 new cases and 15,310 deaths will occur from the disease this year, according to the American Cancer Society.
Greg and Gail Williams hope the product, which is made from natural ingredients and comes in a berry-mint flavor, will be picked up by high-end department stores, such as Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom's.
"There isn't a whole lot done for ovarian cancer. We hope this might help," Greg Williams said.
ACI's specialty lip gloss is available at Adam Broderick Spa Salon, 89 Danbury Road, Ridgefield, and 730 Main St., Southbury, or by calling (203) 791-1621.

Banks have gone through one of the worst phases in their history, and some are still very much in their recovery phase, so it's difficult to make a strong call on the banking industry as a whole. However, regional banks have been making an impressive comeback, and I'm optimistic on quite a few of them. Synovus Financial
Evaluating profitability
Return on equity is a crucial metric that evaluates how effectively a company is using its capital. In Synovus' case, the figure stands at negative 23.7%. On an absolute basis, this looks dismal.
But to get a complete picture, we need to look at it from a relative point of view. Synovus' ROE has been showing improvement and has reached its highest point since 2008. A year ago, it stood at -49.3%. In fact, its negative ROE is still better than that of some of its peers, including Flagstar Bancorp
Synovus' Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.8% is much better than that of BankAtlantic, which stands at 9.7%, and Marshall & Ilsley
Furthermore, the bank is improving on the earnings front. Although it reported a first-quarter loss of $93.7 million, that's a 48% improvement over the preceding quarter. More importantly, it witnessed a significant decline in its credit costs and net chargeoffs.
Taking forward P/E into account, Synovus, at 12.6, looks more appealing than its rivals. Peer banks Marshall and Flagstar look more expensive, with their P/Es standing at 19.7 and 26.4, respectively.
On the other hand, Synovus' price-to-book ratio of 0.9, though low on an absolute basis, is higher than that of Marshall's 0.65 and Flagstar's 0.75. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. It could be interpreted as a vote of confidence in the quality of assets the company is sitting on.
In terms of divided yield, Synovus has an edge over its peers. It offers a decent current yield of 1.9%, while Marshall offers 0.5% and Flagstar and BankAtlantic don't offer any.
The Foolish bottom line
Synovus' attractive fundamentals and recovering metrics make me think it could be a potential investment. If you're the type of investor who focuses on a company's stability and ability to grow, keep an eye on this one.

TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors added to their backcourt ahead of Thursday's trade deadline by acquiring Phoenix point guard Sebastian Telfair.
The Raptors sent centre Hamed Haddadi — who never played for Toronto — and a conditional second-round pick to the Suns.
The deal gives Toronto a third point guard, joining Kyle Lowry and John Lucas. Raptors head coach Dwane Casey had expressed a desire for a veteran points guard in the days leading up to the trade deadline.
Lucas is shooting 52 per cent while Telfair has struggled this season, shooting just 38 per cent.
The 27-year-old Telfair is averaging 6.0 points and 2.5 assists this season. He has played in 535 games over nine seasons.
The Raptors will be Telfair's seventh NBA team in that span.
Telfair was selected out of high school by the Portland Blazers with the 13th overall pick in 2004.
Haddadi was part of the deal that sent Jose Calderon to Detroit and Ed Davis to Memphis in exchange for Rudy Gay.

Mary Jackson
"I learned all of the traditional designs from my mother and grandmother, but I wanted to introduce new forms that no one had ever thought about doing…that's what I continue to do" 1 – Mary Jackson
Mary Jackson, a native of the Charleston area, is a fiber artist who specializes in the art of sweetgrass basket weaving. Sweetgrass baskets are an old art form with roots in African ancestry. These baskets were typically used as functional objects to aid in the work of slavery. The art of basketry was passed down from mother to daughter over many generations. As a child, Ms. Jackson learned the technique from her grandmother.
Ms. Jackson is known world-wide for her unique baskets. They are beautiful works of art that express her special talents within this traditional form. While she remains true to the historical and cultural roots of sweetgrass basketry, she is innovative in her use of materials and creation of unique designs.
Ms. Jackson's work connects her to her family, her culture, her community, and her environment. Her family is involved in the production and presentation of her baskets. The baskets reflect expressions of African American experience. She is a founding member of the Mt. Pleasant Sweetgrass Basket Makers' Association. She received the Environmental Stewardship Award of Achievement from the South Carolina Aquarium in 2008, recognizing her advocacy for the wetlands where sweetgrass grows.
Ms. Jackson's baskets have been featured in the Smithsonian, the Vatican, the American Craft Museum, the White House Collection of Arts and Crafts, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and the Museum of African American History in Detroit and in the collections of Prince Charles and Empress Michiko of Japan. Her creative genius in basket weaving has also brought her awards like the MacArthur Fellows Program, United States Artists Fellow, and the National Heritage from the National Endowments for the Arts. She has garnered much renown for her work that originates from humble beginnings.

Press Release
From: TRW, Inc.
Posted: Saturday, May 18, 2002
NASA's TRW-built Aqua Earth Observing System (EOS) spacecraft is progressing smoothly through on-orbit checkout and activation following its successful launch on May 4 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Aqua is the newest in TRW's spacecraft line designed for environmental research and operational remote sensing missions.
A highlight of Aqua's checkout and activation to date is the deployment and powering-up of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E), perched at the leading edge of the spacecraft. A conical spinning reflector, AMSR-E is rotating at partial speed with no disruption to the spacecraft and will shortly reach its operational speed of 40 RPM. A NASA-led team of ground controllers, including TRW representatives at Goddard Space Flight Center, will continue testing Aqua's systems, sensors and software, until the satellite becomes fully operational in a few months.
"TRW is looking forward to the many productive years Aqua will be on-orbit, providing data to help scientists understand the intricacies of the Earth's water cycle," said Tim Hannemann, president and chief executive officer, TRW Space & Electronics. "Aqua's picture-perfect performance so early in its orbital life validates the teamwork of NASA, TRW, launch vehicle and instrument providers as well as ground system operators. We are bringing the knowledge gained building Aqua to Aura, the next in NASA's Earth Observing System missions and to future missions such as the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System."
Aura is based on the same T-300 spacecraft bus design and has many components in common with Aqua, enabling TRW's experienced workforce to build it at a lower cost and with greater efficiencies than its sibling.

A Commonwealth Games-forced roadtrip has not worked out well for the Titans with a 52-8 defeat at the hands of the Dragons in Toowoomba.
The Gold Coast Titans were looking to make their first QLD roadtrip a success however it wasn't to be with the Dragons running away with the contest and notching a half-century comfortably.
The start was awful for the Titans with Kane Elgey dropping the kick off and from there it was the start of a good afternoon for the Dragons with Matt Dufty running his first try after just a minute of action. Gareth Widdop then added an extra two points on the board after 10 minutes before the Titans put their only try on the board when Michael Gordon slid through after a good ball from Ash Taylor.The Titans got level with a penalty goal but that was the closest the Titans ever got to the Dragons who made the Titans side look very very ordinary.
After the Gordon penalty goal, The Dragons ran in four tries in the remainder of the second half and they all came through the left side. The Dragons took a penalty and from the subsequent kick off the Titans put it out on the full. From the ensuing set the Dragons put on back to back to back tries with Lafai picking up a double in the 29th and 33rd minutes when the overlap was clear and Lafai scored. The try in between the Lafai double was the second of Matt Dufty's hattrick.
Things started marginally better for the Titans in the second half with Jack De Belin sent to the sin bin after just three minutes but that was the best moment for the Titans with the Dragons running in five tries in the second half. The first points of the half through a Gareth Widdop penalty goal before Nene McDonald scored in the corner.
The Dragons then turned on the fireworks with Ben Hunt racing through and putting a kick through that was soccered by Widdop who scored the try. Widdop then set up Paul Vaughan who chased down the kick into the ingoal that left the Titans in no mans land. The final ten minutes saw Matt Dufty score his third before Lafai was set up for his third by Gareth Widdop and sealed the 54-6 victory.
Next week, the Dragons host Newcastle whilst the Titans have a QLD derby clash against the Broncos.

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – An Aurora woman recently found out that a debt settlement company wasn't all it promised to be.
Tami Watkins is one of the millions of Americans that are struggling with debt. She had been through a divorce and the bills were piling high, when one day the phone rang.
"I received a phone call saying they had gotten information about my debt and could help me with me with it," said Watkins.
She says World Law Debt was on the other line and told her if she made monthly payments to them the calls from creditors would stop and they would negotiate with those she owed.
"I thought it was great at time. I was in pretty vulnerable state and I thought this was a great opportunity to take care of my financial responsibilities," said Watkins.
She signed a contract with World Law Debt. The deal was to pay them $400 each month to go into an account to pay off her debts in 30 months.
"I had no idea until later that they kept the first few thousands of dollars before anything was done," said Watkins.
She learned only around half of what she put in had been put into an account to eventually pay her bills. The rest went to the company.
She even got a sued by one of her creditors for nonpayments of her bills.
Attorney generals in three states have taken action against World Law Debt.
In Oregon the accusations include illegal advance fees, unauthorized practice of law and deceptive practices.
Troy Krenning is a consumer rights attorney suing World Law Debt on behalf of Watkins.
"Unfortunately with the amounts of money they take for themselves there isn't a lot of money left over in reserve to negotiate with the creditors. What you do is you find yourself slipping further and further behind," said Krenning.
World Law Debt is based in Austin, Texas. CBS4 tried repeatedly to reach someone who could speak for the company without success.
The company did respond to the state of Colorado on a complaint filed by Watkins by writing that she was offered a full refund, but she wanted three times the amount.
Watkins says she asked for three times the amount because that's what the law states she is entitled to.
The Colorado Debt Services Management Act requires companies doing business in this state to register with the attorney general. No such registration was found for World Law Debt.

Coral Reef and Fish
Come help us solve the mysteries of the Conflict Islands reefs!!
This program focuses on surveying the health of our coral reefs, the diversity of the reef and organisms that inhabit the area. You will also get the opportunity to work with visiting researchers, learn about their research and discover from their presentations.
Using a variety of survey techniques and sampling methods you will spend your days immersed in the underwater realm of the coral sea, entering data, identifying fish and coral, and analysing data collected.
We will also be incorporating a component of coral gardening techniques, fragmentation, micro fragmentation and coral planting.
Shark & Ray Diversity
Sharks are apex predators keystone species, without sharks the balance of the oceans are lost.
Here in Papua New Guinea, like most other countries with difficult economics, the shark finning industry has breached these waters and now shark fishermen are hunting our species around the Conflict Islands.
To fully understand the impact this will have, we need to know which sharks and in what numbers inhabit these waters. We hope to get a good understanding of the species diversity of sharks and rays form our long term study using BRUV's.
to change the future we need to educate our future generations, learn from our mistakes and change the way we do things.. Our community education programs will be directed at school children and you will play an active role in getting the message across to them that sharks are friends NOT just FINS!!
Turtle Conservation
Working with the local communities and CICI's own Turtle Rangers, we endeavor to protect all turtles that nest within the Conflict Islands Atoll. CICI also provides much needed education and awareness about the endangered species and how to help manage local populations on regular visits to schools and communities of the surrounding island groups.
You will gain valuable experience in the field for data collection, trouble solving and working hands on with wildlife! You will take part in egg collecting and relocating, treatment of sick or injured turtles, health assessments, enrichment exercises, husbandry techniques predator mitigation, and turtle rodeos.
Along with this you will be a vital part of the on the ground protection of these ancient mariners, from human interference and harm.
Why Volunteer...?
Without volunteers none of the essential conservation work CICI does would be possible.
Volunteering is a meaningful way to spend your time or holidays. Knowing you are making a difference to the survival of an endangered species, creating new protected areas or ensuring the habitat of new species remains intact is the best thing we can be doing for the future in this uncertain world.
CICI invites researches from around Papua New Guinea and the work to utilize the facilities already established here on the Conflict Islands, to enable research of the natural environment both above and below the surface of the water. Facilities such as a 24m fully fitted out diving liveaboard, accommodation both on the main island and others through out the Atoll, a number of small vessels for diving and research purposes, and reliable power.
We are proud to be in a position where CICI can, through its Papua New Guinea'partnerships, provide numerous education workshops and training for the surrounding community groups. Not limited to marine education CICI aims to be a conduit for many different education programs, with a focus on the protection of the natural environment.

Friday, September 21, 2012 - noon to 1 p.m.
Live Chat transcript
Good morning LA. Our guest Sup. Yaroslavsky is watching the shuttle landing. We'll be starting in a few minutes with help from our construction chief KN Murthy. Zev will be here soon.
Thank you, Executive Director of Transit Project Delivery, Mr. Murthy for helping with today's chat. Let's get started!
What time does the shutdown begin? I can't find the answer in any of the material I've received. Marvin Kaphan
On and off-ramps start closing at 7pm on Friday, Sept 28. Freeway lanes will begin to close at 10pm and the entire freeway will be closed at midnight. The closure boundaries are northbound 405 from the 10 to the 101 and southbound 405 will be closed from the 101 to Getty Center Drive.
I will be in Manhattan Beach on 9/28 until after Midnight and live in Westwood.....how should I get home? David Vogel
Hi David! You will be able to take northbound 405 to National Blvd. At National you will be detoured onto northbound Sepulveda. You will be able to take Sepulveda and all local streets up north to Westwood. Sepulveda will remain open through the Sepulveda Pass during the entire weekend.
Is the contractor getting an incentive to finish work early?
No. They have a disincentive for finishing late. It's $6,000 for every lane of freeway, every 10 minutes. So if the entire freeway is closed for ten minutes it's $60,000 penalty.
Some friends are planning to drive to San Diego for the weekend of Carmageddon. Is this a mistake? Will they be stuck in traffic Sunday night? Please tell people what they should expect if they head south for the weekend. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not know your starting point, but if you are leaving the Los Angeles area headed south I suggest using an alternative freeway than the 405. Sepulveda Blvd will be open from the Valley to the Westside so drivers will be able to access southbound 405 after the Getty Center entrance.
Will the work finish early like last time?
Well, there's 30 percent more work to be done in the same 53-hour period. Caltrans is also doing maintenance work at the same time, although there is a little bit of contingency time inserted into the schedule. Ending early is not likely.
405 north from 110 contains noise absorbing asphalt. Will 405 & Sepulveda from Wilshire north to Moraga be resurfaced in this same material? Richard Spackman
No, we will not be using this material on the freeway or Sepulveda.
Zev, My question pertains to the southbound off-ramp at Sunset. I travel southbound every morning and the line to exit stretches forever. Are there any plans to alleviate this congestion? Mel Moss
Yes, Mel! On Monday morning, Sept 24, we will be opening the newly completed Sunset Bridge. Southbound Church lane will now have a double right hand turn lane to move traffic from Church onto Sunset quickly. We believe this will improve traffic flow coming from the freeway.
What types of utilities are in the Mulholland Bridge?
The utilities include water, power, gas, and cable.
Good morning Supervisor! Thanks for joining us today. Why don't we start by having you tell us about your plans for Carmaggedon II weekend? Are you staying local? If so, are there any places in your neighborhood you want to recommend?
Zev has arrived from his rooftop shuttle viewing!
What an amazing sight. I will be at a Community Meeting in Sun Valley next weekend but primarily i will be monitoring the Carmageddon developments and frequenting my local businesses and eateries.
Given that the comparative Northbound vs Southbound morning traffic flows on I-405 on a typical weekday is much much heavier Southbound, if both sides of the freeway cannot be re-opened on schedule, will priority be given to re-opening Southbound I-405, possibly with a strategy that opens Northbound I-405 as far as Getty Center Drive and converts Sepulveda to one-way Northbound through the Tunnel. Larry Scholnick
Hi Larry, thank you for your question. The Unified Command, including Caltrans, Metro, DOT, LAFD, LAPD and CHP, will be on hand all weekend to make on-site decisions if necessary. We are confident that the entire freeway will open at 6am on Monday morning, October 1.
I have been telling people -"Carmaggedon I only worked because everyone did what they were asked - stayed local." We can do it again. Sylvia
Absolutely, Sylvia! Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope everyone else follows your lead.
What if there's another brush fire in the Sepulveda Pass on Carmageddon weekend? How prepared are you for a natural disaster like that?
LA Fire and LAPD have contingency plans. They're going to deploy resources on both sides of the closure to ensure fast response times.
I live directly in the middle of the freeway closure and the only access is from Sepulveda Blvd at Bel Air Crest Rd. Will there be traffic control to allow me to exit my community and then return during the freeway closure? Lester J. Schwartz
Hi Lester, thank you for writing in today. Yes, Traffic Control Officers will be placed all along Sepulveda throughout the closure limits. They will be helping to keep traffic moving and allow residents to get to and from their homes. Strike teams will also be placed throughout the area to make quick trips to any area that needs help.
Is there going to be a Carmageddon III?
No, Mulholland bridge is being demolished and built in two halves. Last year we demolished the south side and this year we will demolish the north side. In a year we will have a new Mulholland bridge.
What work will be going on this weekend? Any closures? Any closures for the Sunset Bridge project?
There is a lot of work scheduled this weekend for both Sunset bridge and the Mulholland bridge. I encourage you to visit the project website to read Construction Notices that detail all closures and times. www.metro.net/405. We are excited to announce that the newly completed Sunset Bridge will be opening to the motoring public on Monday morning, Sept 24 at 6am.
What precautions are put in place by Metro to make sure the bridge columns fall in the right direction during demolition? What sort of impact, if any, could there if the columns fall in the wrong direction after the initial demolition? Matt Sanderson Editor Brentwood Patch
Hello Patch! The demolition has been engineered to ensure that the columns will fall in the safe direction towards the embankment, just as we did last summer. The demolition contractor has been doing this for a long time and is an expert in this field. We have every confidence that this will be a non-event.
Last year some people had dinner on the freeway. Will that be ok this year?
Absolutely not! The CHP Incident Commander has indicated that anyone caught on the freeway with a YouTube moment will be arrested. The CHP has increased their deployment this year to ensure that the freeway remains clear. This is necessary for safety and emergency responders and also because the contractor will be doing additional maintenance work throughout the 10 mile closure.
Once the project is over, is there a possibility that something useful beyond a car pool lane will be done with the extra space? What about a train or a busway or something that will take hundreds of cars OFF the freeway and save us from that daily crunch over the hill and back down again?
Measure R, the half cent transit sales tax approved by the voters in 2008, earmarks $1 billion for a transit line through the Sepulveda Pass between West LA and the SF Valley. If the voters approve Measure J this November, which would extend Measure R by 30 years, the construction of that line would be accelerated by more than a decade.
For Carmageddon II to be as successful as Carmageddon I we need the public's cooperation. If everyone does their share this should be a very pleasant weekend.
Will Sepulveda Boulevard be available that weekend? Sheila Goldner
Like last year, Sepulveda Boulevard will be open, but is intended for local access only, NOT diverted 405 traffic. Stay on the freeways and bypass this area completely.
What happens if the bridge isn't open Monday morning in time for the commute? How are we supposed to get to work?
The Unified Command will be taking charge in the unlikely event that the bridge or freeway is not ready to open. However, we have every confidence that we will open by Monday morning, October 1 at 6am.
Do you think the public will stay off the roads next weekend? Or will they assume since it was quiet last year that it's safe to go out?
We fully expect that Los Angeles motorists will cooperate this time as they did last summer. Metro's website has up to 300 local destinations that are offering discounts throughout the closure weekend. Check it out to Eat, Shop, and Play locally.
www.metro.net/405 and then click on the banner that says "Eat, Shop and Play Locally".
Helicopters kept me awake during last closure. How can you make sure they don't fly over all weekend long?
We can't. Some of the helicopters were press and some were life saving agencies, such as police and fire. These are necessary for people to do their jobs. Metro does not control, nor does it have jurisdiction over air space. Congressman Howard Berman and I have appealed to news media to be considerate of neighbors by flying at higher altitudes.
Will Metrolink/Metro Rail/Amtrak/Metro Bus be running any extra service on Carmageddon weekend?
Yes, Metrolink will be adding service next weekend and Metro has additional transit options now that the Expo line is open and the Orange Line has been extended to Chatsworth. We also encourage you to visit local destinations around these and many other transit options and enjoy substantial discounts Carmageddon weekend. Visit the Metro website www.metro.net and click on "Destination Discounts".
Seems like there are a bunch of problems happening on Expo and Blue lines lately. Is Metro going to be at the top of its game next weekend so I can actually use it to get around town?
Unified Command is very experienced and prepared to handle the 405 closure. With the public's cooperation this should not be a dramatic weekend. As to the Blue line, the MTA Board has ordered a review of the accident and safety issues associated with it. We expect a report in the next few weeks. The Expo line has had a remarkable opening over the last three months with 18,000 average daily boardings and growing. Since Expo opened we have not had any pedestrian or motor vehicle accidents. That is a remarkable safety record.
For the residents who live walking distance to the demolition, will there be an area delineated for public access to observe the demo?
Unfortunately this year, with the north side of the bridge being demolished, there are no viewing areas in close proximity. The viewing areas that were used last year will only have a view of the newly completed south side of the bridge.
Mr. Yaroslavsky, the upcoming work has been described as a substantially more significant undertaking. What lessons were learned/best practices during last year's 'Carmageddon' that you can apply this year to get done on time?
Last year we did not have any problems with equipment or construction. Also, the cooperation of Los Angeles residents by staying off the roads allowed the contractor and the Unified Command to focus on the demolition. The contractor has a very well scripted plan for all 53 hours of demolition work as well as a contingency plan.
Hi there what about deploying an interactive "detour" routes map?
The project has detour maps available on its website, www.metro.net/405. The project also worked with Google Maps, Map Quest and GPS providers to have the freeway and ramp closures synched with their systems.
I have a flight out of LAX next Sunday afternoon and I'm coming from the Valley. Is there any chance the 405 will be open? If not, what route would be best? Hollywood Fwy through downtown? 5 fwy? What are authorities recommending?
Hello. We do not plan to be open on Sunday afternoon. My suggestion would be to use the LAX Flyaway from Van Nuys and have someone else do the driving! If you need to drive, visit Go511.com to see live traffic updates.
What's the fastest way for me to access the VA if the freeway is closed?
Sepulveda and Wilshire will both be open around the VA. We recommend planning ahead and allowing ample time to get to your destination.
Will the corridor be canvassed by police, fire department and all sorts of emergency responders like Carmageddon I?
Yes, the Unified Command will be on duty throughout the entire Carmageddon II weekend. They will be staging throughout the Sepulveda Pass, as they did last year, to be ready to respond to any incidents.
What's going on with the Wilshire Ramps. Which ramp will be next and when will the whole thing be finished.
Ramp Jam continues! The next extended Wilshire ramp closure is expected to come at the end of the year. Exact details will be coming soon. We were excited to reopen the first two ramps around Labor Day, 3 weeks early!
The entire Wilshire ramp reconstruction will be completed at the end of 2013.
Thanks for joining us today, Sup. Yaroslavsky. And thanks to KN Murthy and other experts for stepping up to the plate. Is there anything you'd like to add to your thoughts in today's chat?
Be mindful of Carmageddon II and the role you can play in making this a nonevent in our County. Avoid the 405 corridor and its environs. Eat, Shop and Play locally and take advantage of the many discounts and packages that have been made available to the general public that weekend. We are counting on your cooperation and have an enjoyable car free weekend. Go Bruins!

The Joy Formidable -
The Big Roar
was their debut, then
(Welsh for "bear," roughly) is the sound of the beast roaring again. The fourth album from Welsh natives
The Joy Formidable
never shies away from plunging into the depths of heavy guitar melodies that have placed them at the top of the Indie scene since 2011. The band's recent move to the American Southwest figures heavily into the mystique of the album; evident in the lyrics as well as the gorgeous cover art. Lead vocalist and guitarist
Ritzy Bryan
quotes: "Those multi-coloured sunsets & the primeval elements of nature in the Southwest – it's emboldened our imaginations in the songwriting and the production."
Album opener "Y Bluen Eira" (translated as "The Snowflake") almost immediately breaks into a breathtaking sonic assault. "The Wrong Side" and "Dance Of The Lotus" are stand out tracks that evoke previous TJF singles; glorious barn burners that show off the blistering rhythm section of
Rydian Dafydd
on bass and vocals and
Matthew James Thomas
on drums and percussion. A few tracks may be peppered with slight and beautiful acoustics ("All In All," " Cicada," "Absence"), but the band never fails to incite a magical riot with each and every song.
To call this album experimental is inaccurate, yet sufficient. They've introduced sounds and elements that we've not yet heard from them, but the progression is surprisingly logical. Occasional hints of influence from the Alt Rock 90s scene (
, and
Foo Fighters
, whom they recently opened for) only enhance the breadth of their aural bliss. The Joy Formidable are a band that needs to be heard by the masses.

>>>OF NOTE: Ed Hasbrouck on "mission creep" of Social Security cards and national ID
BTC – The Op-Ed wars have begun. Narratives are blazing to address a recently proposed immigration bill containing the blanket issuance of a national biometric worker identification card . The opposing groundswell amplified after Chris Calabrese, an ACLU watchdog, barked late yesterday to an announcement of the Hill's next political science project: immigration reform. Based on everything we've seen and heard, it's already time for the Senate to go back to the lab.
It is official. President Obama has staked out the immigration issue for the next milestone of his adminstration as the Healthcare distraction ceases. In a letter released this week, he seems to be optimistic about the bipartisan support framework and is gearing up to address the U.S. immigration debates.
AN "Immigrant Treatment" BILL
The "comprehensive immigration reform bill" has no name to speak of. This leads us to our conclusions about its experimental nature. Since we know biometrics (pictures and fingerprints) alone do not determine statehood, nationality or American citizenship; what does their biometric system prove to the American worker?
Afterall, we know how hard life is for people with criminal records. They can't get real jobs. They lose a lot of their rights as citizens. They don't get to vote. They can't really hang onto much of anything. They end up doing the low wage scut jobs no one wants in America just to survive. HEY! Aren't those jobs being done by immigrants?
You may want to compare this bill to a practical and less political bill co-sponsored by Senator Graham and Sen Schumer. The AgJOBS bill is an example of a bridge attempt to issue "blue cards" to migrant workers. It seems moderate enough, to be a solid proposal co-sponsored by Senators Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham. It actually deals with immigrant workers present in the United States in a fairly non-circuitous, uncomplicated path. It stays away from jails, indefinite immigrant detentions and rights of laborers in America.
The right way to mend immigration by Charles Schumer and Lindsey Graham
Why not do it without the national ID? by Jim Harper, Cato Institute

Better Sleep Anytime, Anywhere
Hey, if you want to make some serious progress in your bodybuilding or fitness program, you better pay attention to how much sleep you're getting.
It's a vital part of the recovery process, folks.
No matter how well you feed your muscles (with whole foods and supplements such as protein powder products) and do squats and bench presses like a boss, if you don't get enough sleep, you won't give you the results you want.
Just so you know, your body releases human growth hormone (HGH) while you're asleep.
Never miss out on that chance.
Here's some hard evidence for you: a study published in the August 2011 issue of Medical Hypothesis (via NCBI.NLM.NIH.gov) reveals sleep deprivation lowers your testosterone and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1.
Plus, it also ramps up your stress hormone (cortisol levels) and compromises your blood pressure and cognitive abilities, per the same source.
Not good.
Good thing we've got some A-plus sleep products lined up for you here on B5.
We're crossing our fingers we can mention Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve in the same breath.
This product "assists with occasional sleeplessness and helps you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed," per its official website.
We like that. Some manufacturers ramble about how fast their sleep products kick in.
Well, that's just one part of the equation.
We get the impression Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve covers all the bases, like what its product description says.
Plus, this supplement "helps to establish normal sleep patterns to give you a more restful, relaxing sleep and in turn, better overall health," per its official website.
When the company says Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve can boost your overall health, that got our attention.
More on that later. Let's start from the basics.
Melatonin is a hormone which helps regulate your sleep-wake cycles.
Your pineal gland (found in the brain) secretes melatonin at night. When you start to feel drowsy just before bedtime, that's when this gland kicks into high gear.
Here's the thing, folks: lifestyle can affect your melatonin levels.
The folks at Natrol point out "everyday stress and diet choices induced by busy lifestyles can take a toll on the body's production of melatonin."
The higher your stress levels are and the crappier your diet is, the higher your chances of tossing and turning at night.
Does that sound familiar?
In addition to stress and nutrition, your amount of light exposure can affect your melatonin levels.
Long story short, your brain (which interprets light as daytime) instructs your pineal gland to stop producing melatonin when you turn on a light at night.
On this note, some experts recommend purchasing low-wattage bulbs with yellow, orange, or red light to maintain good melatonin production.
Finally, caffeine (which is why you're better off going for energy boosters which resort to natural pathways instead), tobacco, and alcohol, can also compromise your melatonin levels.
If you want to kick things up a notch, Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve is here to help you.
Like we said, this product is not just about better sleep.
It turns out melatonin is also a potent antioxidant which helps keep inflammation at bay.
Plus, melatonin's immediate precursor is seratonin, a neurotransmitter which helps regulate your mood.
Check out its other benefits:
- Helps improve cardiovascular health
- Wards off muscular and connective tissue discomfort
- Strengthens the immune system
- Provides relief from jet lag
Impressive, aren't they?
Take it from us: make sure your next sleep support product has melatonin for fantastic long-term health benefits.
As for Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve, even one milligram of melatonin per serving should go a long way. Trust us.
Now, if you want a more potent sedative effect, try the three-, five, 0r 10-milligram per serving versions (check with your doctor first if you have any doubts).
We also love this supplement's fast-dissolve technology.
The folks at Natrol say the tablets "dissolve up to 30 times faster than regular tablets," per their official website.
The faster the effects kick in, the better – you'll be out like a light before you know it.
On the other hand, many – and we mean many – customers have raved about Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve.
They've given this product good feedback online. In fact, they like this supplement's fast-acting prowess. Hey, we like it, too.
A good number of them also like Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve's strawberry flavor. We think it tastes good.
As for Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve's other ingredients, those which caught our eye are xylitol and beet root powder.
The former is a sugar alcohol which has a low glycemic index rating. It also doesn't raise your blood sugar and insulin levels through the roof.
In other words, xylitol doesn't have the detrimental effects of regular, empty-calorie sugar.
Check out its other benefits:
- Helps improve dental health
- Helps stop ear infections dead in their tracks
- May increase collagen production
- May boost bone health
We think these are great. Not only that, some experts believe long-term consumption of xylitol doesn't produce any side effects.
Beet root also has a slew of health benefits:
- Improves cardiovascular and neurological health
- Wards off nasty free radicals
- Ramps up energy levels
- Aids in weight management
- Helps detoxify the blood
Like we said, melatonin also helps shore up heart health. We believe this product's combo of melatonin and beet root powder bodes well for your heart.
All in all, Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve is a simple and effective sleep product which should give you a fast return on your investment.
Let's check out the formula ingredients:
- Melatonin, 1 mg: A hormone which the pineal gland secretes for proper sleep-wake regulation. Melatonin production increases at night as one's bedtime approaches. This hormone also helps ward off free radicals, improve cardiovascular health, keep inflammation at bay, strengthen the immune system, and provide relief from jet lag.
Formula Analysis
Take it from us, folks: Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve is a simple and effective sleep product.
When the manufacturer says this supplement will help you "fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed," believe it.
Admit it, you've fallen into the everyday traps of stress, poor nutrition, and too much caffeine consumption at some point.
When you do, your melatonin levels plummet.
No matter how disciplined you are in your fitness regimen, unexpected twists and turns in everyday life may derail you.
Sure, you eat right, manage your stress levels well, minimize caffeine intake, and turn your lights off at night.
You've done just about everything to sleep better.
However, you can still fall off the wagon. You're only human.
When that happens, do everything to get back on track. Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve will be your trusty ally.
We love this product's extra health benefits – in fact, we believe they're the unsung heroes of Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve.
Better cardiovascular health, antioxidant protection, and improved immune system function, among other things.
Like we said, many consumers have sung this product's praises. They say it works fast, thanks to the fast-dissolve technology.
Oh, and a good number of them also say Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve tastes great, too.
We agree.
On that note, we love the inclusions of xylitol (stevia would have been better, though) and beet root powder for their aforementioned health benefits.
We also laud the manufacturer for its transparency – it divulges the ingredient amounts and does not resort to shady proprietary blends and nasty fillers.
Finally, this product is affordable – one 90-tablet bottle of the one-milligram version costs around $4.31.
Make Natrol Melatonin Fast Dissolve a part of your nightly routine, folks. You'll sleep like a baby. Guaranteed.

I am posting this information so that everybody can be in no doubt that all the material currently in my possession about the Bamber case / prosecution that came into my possession at the beginning of 2004, at peril of being destroyed shall be disposed of by me within the next few days by way of burning it by fire! I no longer care about Jeremy Bamber or what happened to him, and I will never be commenting upon his plight from here on in. I will also be seeking to destroy all the evidence of corruption in my own cases! I have simply had enough, I can't take anymore bullshit from the authorities and their supporters. However, I shall still seek to be active in trying to bring justice for Madeleine McCann and Keith Bennett, both deserve a proper Christian burial..Thank you!

Buffalo Dominates Super Bowl Ratings, Because Of Course They Do

Simon Aleman started Breeze Legal Solutions to empower clients with the knowledge and tools to process docs in-house.
He knows a little bit about this. For over a decade Simon has owned and operated a successful litigation-support business called The inCase Group, which services the Midwest. The inCase Group works alongside Breeze to offer their clients complete case-management services, including eDiscovery.
Simon was in the trenches as the legal field transitioned from paper documents to digital files. It hasn't been easy for anybody, and the learning curve is steep.
Law firms and their support staff are overwhelmed (and, honestly, confused) by the change. What's a firm to do with all these digital files?
A service bureau was the answer. Jobs were flooding in. Great for the Simon's and others service-bureau businesses but costly and time-consuming for law firms.
However, the service bureaus had their own issues. The hardware and software required to process these digital docs were expensive, complicated and required a lot of training just to navigate them. As soon as Simon trained a staff member, he or she was swept up by another company because the industry was growing faster than the number of people who worked in it.
Law firms had the same problem when they tried to do the work in-house: expensive, complicated programs and not enough people who knew how to use them.
You can imagine the frustration. Heck, you probably felt it, too. You probably still do.
When did document processing get so exclusive? It didn't sit well with Simon.
He's a software developer by training, so he wrote himself a program that would process documents effectively but inexpensively in-house for law firms. Simon adopted the do-it-yourself (DIY) philosophy.
He could've kept this software to himself, using it to get ahead in the service-bureau world and feeding the dependency of law firms.
Instead, he's sharing it with everybody.
"Breeze is the DIY tool for document production," Simon says. "At first, people get intimidated by the process because they don't understand it, just like anyone would fixing a sink or installing a new deck for the first time.
"But Breeze unravels the unknown. It's a simple step-by-step tool that allows you to produce those same documents in-house. DIY. It's a breeze."
When Simon isn't behind a computer, he's hanging out with his wife and five children, one of whom, Brittney, works by his side. Don't be surprised to see him skiing down a Colorado mountain or quietly fly-fishing along one of America's great trout waters.

Funding, Grants & Awards | News
E-rate consultancy Funds for Learning has begun a campaign to encourage the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to update its program for placing Internet access into schools and libraries. Among the recommendations: that a per-student amount be set each year; that funding be increased to $4.5 billion "permanently" and adjusted for inflation; that the FCC eliminate E-rate's "priority system" funding cap; and that the FCC limit how much is available to any single applicant.
According to the company, while demand for Internet access has tripled in the past 15 years, annual funding has stayed flat at about $2.4 billion.
E-rate is a program to provide schools and libraries with discounts on services and products for receiving voice, video, and data communications. The amount of the discount — between 20 and 90 percent — is set based on the level of poverty and location of the recipient organization.
Encouraged by President Obama's June announcement of the ConnectED initiative, which proposes to connect 99 percent of American students to the Internet via high-speed wireless and broadband within five years, Funds for Learning cranked up attention for the modernization campaign — E-rate 2.0 — to address what it said it sees as "skyrocketing demand for Internet access and unlimited funding" by "a handful of applicants" that could "jeopardize" the program.
The Funds for Learning proposal leaves much intact: There'd be no impact on the forms being used, the discount rates, the current application system, the eligible services list, the review process, or the payment process. Discounts could be spent on any category of E-rate eligible goods and services, and district would still obtain competitive bids for its services and pay the non-discounted portion of the implementation.
Changes would be fourfold:
The company offered the following example. If the funding limit was $70 per student, the student enrollment was 2,500, and the discount rate was 64 percent, the district would receive $112,000.
In the proposal, higher budget floors could be put in place for small schools and remote rural applicants.
Implementing such changes, according to Funds for Learning, would encourage efficient use of funds and reward applicants that sought cost-effective goods and services. It would also ensure that all eligible requests receive some level of support. And it would broaden use of E-rate funding for internal connections within schools, the area of greatest need currently in funding applications, the company said.
"We have been listening to the concerns of the education community. A majority of applicants describe their current Internet infrastructure as lagging and not equipped to meet future needs," said President Cathy Cruzan. "The E-rate is essential. We agree with President Obama that the FCC should modernize the E-rate system to help ensure our students and library patrons are connected."
The company has posted information about its proposal on its Web site.

While Turkuaz was first opened in 2011 , it is one of the newest (and best) language schools in the city. For newcomers looking for a place to call home and a community in their first few weeks living in Istanbul, this may be the place for you. The school is located in a lovely ground floor apartment in Gumussuyu, 10 minutes from Taksim Square.
There are four classrooms. Classes consist of no more than 6 students. There is coffee and tea awaiting you at every break. There is a lovely woman who cooks and cleans for the school, and teaches you about each dish she prepares (the smells fill the air in the morning. It is impossible to resist). Pamuk, the school's 18-year-old cat wanders in and out of each classroom (and lap). You quickly feel at home.
The space is bright. The classrooms look out at a garden, and each classroom connects to the balcony. Everything in the school is crisp and clean. There are pictures of Istanbul all over the walls. The teachers are warm, friendly and welcoming.
My Level 1 class consists of a 2 Americans (including myself), a Japanese woman, a German man, a Welsh girl and an Austrian woman. We go out to weekly lunches and share resources on a daily basis.
Quality of Education? The teachers are excellent. While the class is taught primarily in Turkish, the teachers speak simply and slowly. You are given a Turkuaz course book on the first day of school for various reading and writing activities, Additionally, you receive 2-4 pages of homework each night. The first three weeks of class focus on the simple continuous and past tense, in addition to a lot of technical grammar. The main goal of the Introductory course is to expand your vocabulary and give you the basic foundation to learn Turkish.
Originally, I planned to take one course to guide my own Turkish studies, but now I am sold! This class is worth every penny! It is the best language course I have ever taken, and the results are already proven: I am speaking Turkish every chance I get!

With summer almost over, I'm counting down the ten best albums that were released during our time away from school. Before summer I counted down the ten most anticipated albums of the summer, so how did that list compare to what was actually released and lived up to the hype? Check out the Top 10 Albums of the Summer below along with a few honorable mentions!

It's been almost three years since the first supposed release date for The R.E.D. Album. After tons and tons of push backs and forty promotional mixtapes, it's finally here. The album has some serious guest appearances and with the buzz Game has been building from mixtapes and a publicity stunt, its anticipation is as high as it will ever be. Every album from Game has been extremely good (not sure if the same can not be said about his mixtapes), so I'm expecting a lot out of the Compton emcee on this album. Was the album worth the three year wait? Check out the review of The R.E.D. Album below!
Album Preview: The R.E.D. Album by GamePosted: August 10, 2011 by eptarheels23 in Music
Tags: Album Review, Game, The R.E.D. Album
I don't even know where to begin with this one. First off I am actually a pretty big Game fan, his old stuff is amazing. Well the LP has been pushed back for almost two years now with tons of supposed release dates. It's looking like this will be the official date (August 23rd) since Game has released the official artwork for the standard and deluxe edition and the final tracklisting. What I can say about the tracklisting is that if it comes through, this will be one of the best albums of the year. But with what Game has been releasing recently is could also be a complete flop. So hit the jump for the tracklisting + preview + singles + more!
