The Brilliant Trick Steve Jobs Used to Win the iPhone Trademark
In reality, Jobs got the iPhone trademark pretty much for free.
By Quora
How did Steve Jobs convince Cisco to let Apple use the name "iPhone"? originally appeared on Quora: The best answer to any question.
Answer by Yatit Thakker, co-founder at Omninox, on Quora:
I've been trying to find details about this story because the version I was told was much more interesting than the ones I've found on the internet. This version was told by a former senior level Cisco employee. I've combined it with some reading I've done on the internet and here's how I think it happened.
At the time, Apple was a smaller company than Cisco, so Giancarlo knew that he had the upper hand in the negotiation. However, Steve Jobs had his reality distortion field. He called Giancarlo multiple times about getting the iPhone trademark. Giancarlo kept saying he wasn't interested. Jobs kept persisting, often calling multiple times in a day.
He was fighting a war of attrition.
At one point he even called at 6:00 PM on Valentine's Day and mentioned the famous line "Do you have email at home?" to try and get under Giancarlo's skin.
He would mention how Cisco had technically already lost the right to the trademark because Cisco wasn't using it. Giancarlo kept blowing him off, saying how he wasn't interested in licensing it. As the launch date approached, Steve kept persisting, increasing how frequently he called. Eventually he said that Apple would go ahead with the launch, fight Cisco in court, etc.
After Apple launched the iPhone, Cisco filed a lawsuit, and this time the two sides' lawyers and executives were forced to negotiate. The final deal terms were said to be that Apple would use Cisco's equipment to update its networking in exchange for using the iPhone trademark.
This was a brilliant negotiation tactic because Apple would have used Cisco's equipment when upgrading its networking infrastructure anyways. It was already using Cisco's equipment. Maybe Jobs could have also threatened to switch to Juniper Networks instead, but it would have been a lose-lose situation. This made Giancarlo think that he was getting something substantial out of the deal when in reality Jobs pretty much got the iPhone trademark for free.

In this August issue of the English version of National Geographic, I was interested in an interesting article, whose title could be translated as "How important is the network!" I was naturally interested in photography. It was made by artist Todd Forsgren from Boston. Eleven years ago, during regular jogging, he noticed the corpse corpses involved in a wire fence, and he was intrigued by the composition of the bird body and the fence structure. As he grew up in the family of bird lovers, the bird's parallel caught in the net was just a step away. And so he designed the project. Between 2006 and 2014, he travelled across the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Brazil, and photographed birds caught in a network in some sort of portable studio. During this time, it captured a total of 57 bird species. And he got his photos to the famous National Geographic!
When I count that for 36 years I have been busying birds, catching them in the net and photographing their "catches", I have missed the next chance to make my photographs published in this famous periodical. It never occurred to me to take pictures of birds hanging in the art net. Instead, Todd Forsgren from Boston has a picture of me in National Geographic 🙂 And I want it.
I have no choice but to place at least some photographs of our Czech meadows and mountains taken without a portable studio. After all, in natural backdrops, these birds will come a little more natural than on a white background. Although there are only some species here, there will certainly be more in time. And while Todd caught his fowl in his networks for the purpose of capturing an interesting picture, my captured birds were captured primarily for the purpose of ringing in the framework of a serious biological research at the "Mirror" pond in East Bohemia.

Achieving Gender Equality in Science, Engineering and Medicine - Seven Actionable Strategies for Advancing Women
Gender equality has not yet been achieved in science, medicine, and engineering, but NYSCF, through its Initiative on Women in Science and Engineering, is committed to making sure progress is made.
New York Stem Cell Foundation
Like 2 Comment
NYSCF convened the Inaugural Meeting of its Initiative on Women in Science and Engineering (IWISE) Working Group in February 2014, where the group put forward seven actionable strategies for advancing women in science, medicine, and engineering, and reconvened in February 2015 to further develop the strategies.
The recommendations, published in Cell Stem Cell, were divided into three categories: direct financial support strategies, psychological and cultural strategies, and major collaborative and international initiatives. The group chose to highlight the most high-impact and implementable strategies from a larger list developed during the meeting. They also sought to promote promising, long-term initiatives that will require significant collaboration among multiple stakeholders with the aim of connecting potential partners.
Changing financing structures, embedded cultural norms, and tying funding to gender balance to enact real change are the pillars underlying the seven strategies recommended by the Working Group.
The seven strategies include:
Implement flexible family care spending
Provide "extra hands" awards
Recruit gender-balanced external review committees and speaker selection committees
Incorporate implicit bias statements
Focus on education as a tool
Create an institutional report card for gender equality
Partner to expand upon existing searchable databases of women in science, medicine, and engineering
The IWISE Working Group reconvened in February 2015 to continue to work on the Institutional Report Card for Gender Equality. The paper published in Cell Stem Cell includes the proposed Phase 1 Institutional Report Card, and the group plans to release the Phase 2 report card once finalized.
The IWISE Working Group hopes that funders and institutions will join with NYSCF to implement these and other policies, so that progress can continue to be made.

Tel Aviv is constantly changing and adding new attractions for visitors. If you only have 1 day in this micro-metropolis of culture, art, food and nightlife let us present you with our suggestions for how to explore this city from north to south in just 24 hours.
Start your day with Sea Executive Suites house Chef's famous breakfast feast. Everything is prepared fresh and from scratch right here at the hotel. Mini pans of shakshuka; homemade pita bread and sesame cookies; a widespread of cheeses, freshly salted and smoked fish and beyond. Get a cup of coffee and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice with your meal and you'll be set for the day.
Once you're culinary senses are satiated head out the door for a stroll along the beach and lay out by the bright blue waters of the Mediterranean. Beach time is an important part of experiencing Tel Aviv and is an activity that cannot be missed. If you're not one for sitting around, pick up a game of Israeli "matkot," otherwise known as beach tennis, and enjoying your time soaking up the sun.
The boardwalk let's you walk along the water all the way down to Jaffa so arm yourself with your best poker face and go bargain hunting in the winding alleyways that is the home of the colorful and ever popular Flea Market. Handmade jewelry, colorful vintage pieces for your house and all kinds of bits and pieces are awaiting your arrival. The Flea Market also happens to be one of the most popular spots for the locals to have lunch in the sun and see and be seen at the same time. Sweet and eclectic Pua Café (8, Rabbi Yochanan Street) or fashionable Onza (3 Rabbi Hanina), a chef restaurant hiding behind a simple façade are popular spots.
Spend your afternoon exploring the vibrant art scene in south Tel Aviv. Similar to SoHo in New York, South Florentine is filled to the brim with studios and galleries. Head to Contemporary by Golconda, located in an 80-year-old building that was formerly a tehina factory, (117 Herzl Street) to check out their latest exhibition. Contemporary by Golconda is the leading voice on the local art scene and showcases promising contemporary artists from Israel in its multi-level space with high ceiling and industrial decor.
Discover a true hidden gem and head to HaHalutzim 3 for dinner. Located on HaHalutzim Street in Florentine, not far from Levinsky Market, Chef Eitan Vanunu serves up simple, delicious dishes prepared with excellent raw ingredients. The vibe is unpretentious, the methods of preparation simple and straightforward and the food is delicious. Don't miss the pork-stuffed Challah!
Head back to the heart of the city and grab your after-dinner drinks at the buzzing Port Said resto-bar at the corner of Allenby and Ahad Ha'am. This buzzing spot is the creation of star Chef Eyal Shani, and boasts unbeatable Middle Eastern fare served informally, as well as great cocktails and even better music. A DJ spins vinyl records on each and every night Port Sa'id is open.
End your 24 hours in Tel Aviv at Kuli Alma (Aramaic for "The Whole World") a music and art-focused nightlife institution nestled into the creative crux of south Tel Aviv (10, Mikve Israel Street). Having opened in March 2014, Kuli Alma focuses on bringing out-of-the-box content to a far-reaching audience of insatiable night owls, music lovers and culture enthusiasts, whether embedded within the local creative community or first-time visitors to Tel Aviv's thriving nightlife landscape.

About Ed Dwight
See how Ed Dwight is related to other HistoryMakers
Ed Dwight, the first African American to be trained as an astronaut and the sculptor of major monuments, was born on the outskirts of Kansas City, Kansas in 1933. His father, Ed Dwight, Sr., played second base for the Kansas City Monarchs in baseball's Negro League. Child rearing fell primarily on Ed's Catholic mother, Georgia Baker Dwight, who convinced her son that he could accomplish almost anything. Dwight grew up as an avid reader and a talented artist who was mechanically gifted and enjoyed working with his hands.
Dwight joined the United States Air Force in 1953, pursuing his dream of flying jet aircraft. He became a USAF test pilot, and in 1961 earned a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Arizona State University. At the suggestion of the National Urban League's Whitney M. Young, Jr., the Kennedy administration chose Captain Ed Dwight as the first Negro astronaut trainee in 1962. Catapulted to instant fame, he was featured on the cover of Ebony, Jet, Sepia and in news magazines around the world.
Facing severe discrimination from other astronauts, Dwight persevered until President Kennedy's death, when government officials created a threatening atmosphere. He resigned in 1966, never having gone into space. Dwight's talents then led him to work as an engineer, in real estate, and for IBM. In the mid 1970s, he turned to art and studied at the University of Denver, learning to operate the university's metal casting foundry. He received a Masters of Fine Arts in 1977 and gained a reputation as a sculptor. Ed Dwight Studios in Denver is now one of the largest privately owned production and marketing facilities in the western United States. His engineering background helps him face the problems of creating monumental sculpture and his well-stocked library of African American history and culture informs his work. Dwight is recognized as the innovator of the negative space technique.
Dwight has sculpted great works of celebratory African American art, including International Monuments to the Underground Railroad in Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario; a Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial in Denver's City Park; a bust of George Washington Williams in the Ohio State Capitol in Columbus, Ohio; the Black Patriots Memorial on the mall in Washington, D.C.; the South Carolina Black History Memorial in Columbia, South Carolina; and the Alex Haley-Kunta Kinte Memorial in Annapolis, Maryland. The Quincy Jones Sculpture Park in Chicago brings his total major works to 35, some of which are on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institute.

Dag Westerståhl (photo: Niklas Björling)
Dag Westerståhl was born in Stockholm 1946, and got his PhD at the University of Gothenburg with Per Lindström as supervisor. Since 2011 he is Professor of Theoretical Philosophy and Logic at Stockholm University; from 1998 to 2010 he was August Rhöös Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Gothenburg. Between 2005 and 2010 he held a Special Grant for Excellent Researchers by the Swedish Council for Research (VR).
His main research interests are logic, formal semantics, and philosophy of language. A central theme is generalized quantifiers, studied both from a model-theoretic and a linguistic point of view; see his book with Stanley Peters, Quantifiers in Language and Logic (OUP, 2006). A recent application (also with Peters) is to the semantics of possessive constructions. Another main research theme is philosophical and mathematical aspects of compositionality. A third ongoing research project, pursued together with Denis Bonnay, concerns the extraction of (logical) constants from (logical) consequence relations. He has also written on situation theory and situation semantics, and on philosophy of mathematics.
DW is currently a member of the editorial boards of the following journals: Journal of Logic, Language and Information (where he was Managing Editor 1996-2001), Linguistics and Philosophy, Review of Symbolic Logic, Semantics and Pragmatics, Logic in Asia: Studia Logica Library. He is Logic Editor (with Aldo Antonelli) for The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
DW has taught at several of the European and North-American Summer Schools of Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI and NASSLLI). He has also, together with Jouko Väänänen, Phokion Kolaitis, and Samson Abramsky, initiated and helped organize three similar schools in China (Guangzhou 2010, Chongqing 2012, Beijing 2014). In China he has in addition taught at Tsinghua University and at Beijing Normal University, and he is on the Advisory Board of the Joint ILLC and Tsinghua Research Center in Logic.
DW has been Project Leader of the following externally funded research projects:
Quantification and Natural Language (HSFR (now VR), 1985-86)
Situation-Theoretic Text Semantics (HSFR, 1988-90)
Predicate Logic with Flexibly Binding Operators (HSFR, 1991-93)
Relativism (Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, 2002-2005)
Semantic Ambiguity (VR, 2002-2004)
Logic for Interaction (European Science Foundation and VR, a European CRP under the Eurocores Program, 2009-2012. Participant project sites: Aachen, Amsterdam, Gothenburg, Oxford, Tampere-Helsinki)
Dag Westerståhl is a member of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences in Gothenburg and of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

While the role of a CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is fast evolving, new roles are indeed emerging with rapid advancements in India's data privacy and cyber security landscape. In a free-wheeling discussion with ETCIO, Burgess Cooper, Partner-Cybersecurity, EY India, throws light on the trends shaping the cybersecurity domain.
How do you see the changing cybersecurity threat landscape impacting the CISO role?
While India Inc. is spending more on cybersecurity each year, organizations are still not confident of their ability to sense, resist and respond to cyber threats, according to EY's 19th Global Information Security Survey 2016-17. Disruptive innovations and the digital transformation of businesses and governments are exponentially enhancing cyber-risks not just in the financial services sector but across industries. Owing to which, it is critical to lay greater impetus on addressing the response gap -- which is the difference between the abilities of the attackers and the response capabilities of organization.
Rapid technological advancements have turned security on its head and fundamentally transformed the way cyber security is being looked at. The wave of security threats experienced across sectors in the past two years have not only made it clear that no organization is immune to cyber threat but has also led the role of a CISO to evolve. Today, CISOs are increasingly contributing to boardroom discussions as senior leaders as CFOs and top management have started to recognise the need to devote more attention to cyber risks and evaluate enterprise readiness to such attacks.
While newer technologies like AI, Blockchain are gaining ground in helping companies put better defence mechanisms, it's important to note that these are not substitute for the traditional building blocks of security i.e. hardening, effective patch & vulnerability management.
Has the flux in the information security domain resulted in the emergence of new roles, for e.g. counter espionage analyst?
While the role of a CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) is fast evolving, new roles are indeed emerging with rapid advancements in India's data privacy and cyber security landscape. Having said that, business leaders/function heads are mandated to drive compliance and manage risks at a firm-wide level which is where emerging roles like that of a Counter Espionage Analyst, Data Privacy Officer etc. become more significant.
Are security laws and regulations in India enough to counter cyber criminals?
The fact that cyber criminals have a wider canvas to attack these days, cannot be ignored especially with the attack surface of an organization having expanded over the years owing to involvement of multiple third party vendors, vulnerability to new technologies, new reforms etc. However, it is also true that a lot of positive steps are being taken in the right direction with the introduction of new reforms like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Srikrishna Committee's data protection bill etc. These efforts will go a long way in strengthening the cyber security governance across geographies which organizations can massively benefit from if they comply.
What is the concept of 'cyber fusion'?
Defending against common or advanced attack methods require organizations to build agility into their cybersecurity practices and approaches so that they are able to react quickly when the time comes. Organizations with good governance processes underlying their operational cyber fusion approach will most likely be able to practice security-by-design — building systems and processes able to respond to unexpected risks and emerging dangers.
What is India's preparedness towards offence and defence when it comes to attacks?
India is at the cusp of experiencing a paradigm shift in cyber security hence to ensure robust security at a nation-wide level, it is important that we join hands to share, evaluate and acquire threat intelligence and develop a resilient operational framework to use this with security technologies. We will need to ensure significant focus on propelling technological innovation in cyber security to secure national critical infrastructure from impending cyber attacks.

ALS—An RNA Editing Disease?
Follow Comments
With annotations Without annotations
DNA makes RNA makes protein. That's how the dogma goes. But it doesn't always work out that way. In a minority of cases the DNA code is actually rewritten through RNA editing. In the February 26 Nature, Shin Kwak and colleagues at the University of Tokyo, Japan, report that failure of the RNA editor is linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
In mammals, one such edited transcript codes for the GluR2 subunit of the AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate) variety of glutamate receptor. In neurons, the GluR2 mRNA is edited so that in the GluR2 protein, a glutamine residue is switched to an arginine. In the mid-1990s, this editing step was shown to be essential for survival of mice.
First author Yukio Kawahara and colleagues wondered if failure of this editing process might lead to the motor neuron degeneration seen in ALS. To test this hypothesis, they isolated single motor neurons postmortem from volunteer patients and normal individuals, and examined the restriction enzyme digestion pattern of a GluR2 cDNA.
The restriction enzyme BbvI recognizes DNA amplified from edited RNA and cleaves it twice, leaving three fragments. But in DNA amplified from unedited RNA, there is only one restriction enzyme site, resulting in one cut and two fragments. When Kawahara tested the DNA amplified from neurons of control patients (five patients, for a total of 76 neurons tested), the RNA editing efficiency, as judged by the digestibility of amplified DNA, was 100 percent. In contrast, when she tested RNA editing efficiency in neurons isolated from ALS patients, she found it varied between zero and 100 percent for all five volunteers. On average, the efficiency in ALS motor neurons ranged from a low of about 40 percent (averaged from 11 neurons) for one patient, to a high of about 70 percent. In contrast, analysis of Purkinje cells from either ALS patients or controls showed that the RNA is always edited correctly.
The results suggest that failure to fully edit the GluR2 RNA may contribute to the demise of motor neurons. ALS, the authors claim, "may turn out to be a disease of RNA processing."—Tom Fagan

Access to credit can be difficult to come by and expensive for small businesses. Small-business credit cards can be flexible, affordable short-term funding tools for business owners and may offer rewards.
The right tagline or slogan can help your business stand out from the crowd. With a few well-chosen words, you can convey what you want customers to know about your brand and what sets you apart. Think about the taglines or slogans used by some of the well-known fast food chains.
Looking for a small business loan? Your credit score — a number between 300 and 850 — is based on how you've handled credit in the past, and it's a critical factor for a potential lender. A high score means you've managed your finances well and are a good risk for a loan; a low score means you've had problems in the past and might not be able to handle the debt.

Q: URL rewriting in order to use joomla SEF I'm very new to apache. I read and read docs, turn all conf files I found, but ...
While I'm root on the webserver, I read that in order to optimize apache2, it is not a good idea to use .htaccess files (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html).
OK, I read a lot of howtos about url_rewriting and htacess. I tried this code into my www.site.com virtualhost file :
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName site.com
    ServerAlias www.site.com
    ServerAdmin webmaster@site.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/www.site.com
    RewriteEngine On
    <directory />
          RewriteBase /var/www/www.site.com/
          RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /component/|(/[^.]*|\.(php|html?|feed|$
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
          RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
          Options FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride None
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride None
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
    </Directory>
    <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
            AllowOverride None
            Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Please note that RewriteBase has been tested with DocumentRoot value and '/', and that all the RewriteCond come form std_htaccess of latest Joomla! source code.
Apache2 launches well, the site is viewed online with no error, but the rewrite is not working as joomla SEF is not working :(
I'm totaly lost ... again ... and I need your help guys !

A: Ok, the correct way is
<directory /var/www/www.site.com/>
              RewriteEngine On
              RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /component/|(/[^.]*|\.(php|html?|feed|pdf|vcf|raw))$ [NC]
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
              RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
              RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
              Options FollowSymLinks
              AllowOverride None
        </Directory>

July 12, 2011 by Dustin Bleizeffer Leave a Comment
Wyoming's workplace fatality rate improved from worst-in-the nation — 17 fatalities per 100,000 workers in 2007 — to fourth-worst in 2009, according to an AFL-CIO report, passing the "worst" distinction to Montana, Louisiana and North Dakota where many drilling rigs migrated during the same period.
But before Wyoming leaders and employers claim victory over such a poor past performance, safety officials are warning that workplace fatalities could spike again when drilling and construction activity returns to Wyoming.
"More than half of the 16,000-plus jobs lost in Wyoming were in natural resource development and construction, and these bear the most dangerous occupational risks," Wyoming state occupational epidemiologist Timothy Ryan told WyoFile in a recent interview.
"My concern is that people are going to look at this and say 'problem solved,'" Ryan continued. "Well, no. When the economy picks back up in construction and mining, and oil and gas picks up, so goes the fatality rate."
HIGHER FINES, FEWER FATALITIES
On January 5, Kyle Rooke, 42, of Drummond, Id., was struck by drilling mud when a standpipe valve failed on a drilling rig south of Pinedale. The drilling mud caught fire, according to the Wyoming Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Rooke died before medical responders arrived at the scene.
A Wyoming OSHA investigation revealed several alleged safety violations. Rooke wasn't wearing flame-retardant clothing, and had the rig operator — Unit Drilling Co. — conducted a "protective equipment assessment" the company should have realized that flame-retardant clothing was necessary for the job Rooke was performing, according to Wyoming OSHA.
The investigation, according to OSHA officials, also found improperly functioning equipment related to the accident that should have been repaired, replaced or removed. As a result of those and other safety violations on the rig, Wyoming OSHA issued several citations to Unit Drilling Co., totaling $23,250 in fines. The company has until July 13 to contest the citations or agree to pay.
"Normally, they contest," said J.D. Danni, program manager for Wyoming OSHA .
Unit Drilling Co. didn't return WyoFile's requests for comment.
That $23,250 figure is substantially higher than Wyoming OSHA has issued in the past for violations related to the death of a worker. The four workplace fatalities that Wyoming OSHA investigated in 2010 resulted in a total $9,125 in fines, according to federal OSHA documents. That's an average $2,281 for violations contributing to the death of a worker.

By comparison, in April an 18-year-old Worland man was fined more than $9,000 for illegally killing a trophy mule deer. The national average OSHA penalty for safety violations related to a workplace fatality in 2010 was $17,105. Only South Carolina, Nevada, Montana and Alaska had average fatality-related penalties lower than Wyoming's in 2010.
"Industry here agreed the fines could be higher and we, administratively, followed federal OSHA's lead in raising fines," said Danni.
Danni explained that the potential for higher OSHA fines began this year, mostly as the result of trimming several credits a company could earn based on past performance and other factors.
Other steps are being made to improve workplace safety in Wyoming. In June approximately 200 companies within the oil and gas industry formally signed an alliance with Wyoming OSHA. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Industry Safety Alliance (WOGISA) seeks to raise safety awareness, identify best practices and share training resources. Already in the works is a training program for "first-line" supervisors.
The group meets Wednesday (July 13) from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Western Wyoming College in Rock Springs. The meeting is open to the public. (Download the agenda at the bottom of this article.)
But whether Wyoming employers and Wyoming OSHA are actually on course to substantially improve workplace safety is still in serious question.
A 2010 study by the Wyoming Department of Employment's Research & Planning division, "Employment Change and Impacts on Workplace Fatalities in Wyoming," found that the number of workplace fatalities in Wyoming closely tracks the number of people working in the state. Analysis of employment and workplace fatalities spanning the 18 years from 1992 to 2009 suggests a 1 percent increase in employment is associated with an increase of 2.4 fatalities annually, according to the study.
For another representation of workplace fatality trends, safety officials look to the fatality rate — or number of deaths per 100,000 workers. In 2007, near the peak of Wyoming's energy boom, the state's workplace fatality rate was 17 per 100,000 workers — more than four times the national average of 3.7 for the same year, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
In 2008, Wyoming's workplace fatality rate improved to 11.6 per 100,000 workers, compared to the national average 3.6.
In 2009, Wyoming's workplace fatality rate improved to 7.1 per 100,000 workers, compared to the national average 3.5.
Wyoming has improved its workplace fatality rate. However, Ryan warned, that may have more to do with the fact that Wyoming's job losses were in drilling, mining and construction — those jobs most prone to workplace fatalities.
"If you look at fatality rates, it looks like things are improving," said Ryan. "But if you look at the number of hospitalizations, amputations and burns — the total number injuries has gone down, but not the rate. Amputations have gone up."
Ryan said that while voluntary efforts such as WOGISA are an essential step toward stemming workplace injuries and fatalities, it's likely that those numbers could spike again in correlation with a resurgence in energy development in Wyoming.

"Tim is absolutely right," said Chuck Dobkins, safety and security specialist for Williams Exploration & Production in Gillette. "When the price of gas comes back, and the economy comes back in full-force, you're going to bring a mass of workers into the state. For those smaller companies that need help, this (WOGISA-OSHA alliance) is a good opportunity to get those companies the help they need and be prepared."
A large part of the WOGISA effort is to encourage large companies and corporations that can afford good safety programs to share those resources and share their knowledge.
"It's a heck of a lot better now than it was five years ago," said Dobkins. "I think we got a better handle on it than we ever have."
State and industry official believe the biggest stride they can make toward reducing workplace fatalities is to address the use of seatbelts and driving habits. In the state's preliminary analysis of workplace fatalities, officials found that many of the deaths are the result of vehicle accidents. In 2008, 71 percent of the workers who died in vehicle accidents in Wyoming were not wearing seatbelts. Ryan said when he talks to the WOGISA membership at its meeting this week in Rock Springs, he will recommend the industry institute employee shuttle services to and from worksites where possible.
"You're taking a good portion of the guys off the road that don't need to be on the road after working a long shift," said Ryan. "The model is there, and it has been proven to work, with the coal mines in the Powder River Basin."
CARROT VS. STICK
In 2009, Wyoming lawmakers and industry leaders were decidedly against a proposal to raise penalties for safety violations related to workplace fatalities. They also defeated draft legislation that would have restored citizens' right to sue third-party operators for their proven negligence leading to the injury or death of a contract worker.
Despite being saddled with the worst-in-the-nation distinction for workplace fatalities, the decision to emphasize voluntary collaborative efforts rather than inspection and enforcement was emblematic of a pervasive attitude among industry leaders and state lawmakers: "You get more done with incentives and voluntary cooperation than you do from being hard-nosed with inspections and that sort of thing," Sen. Charlie Scott (R-Casper), chairman of the Labor, Health and Social Services Committee, told WyoFile.
Ken Lantta is owner of KDL Consulting, LLC, and a WOGISA organizer. Lantta formerly worked for Wyoming OSHA and said he worries that companies too often receive citations for safety infractions committed by employees.
"I would offer that most employers are trying really hard to beat up and get rid of the hazards in their workplace, but the hardest nut to crack is the behavior of their folks," said Lantta.
However, Lantta admitted, Wyoming OSHA rules do provide for discretion in calculating a fine, including factors related to employee vs. supervisor behavior. For example, had Wyoming OSHA been presented with evidence that Unit Drilling had conducted a "protective equipment assessment," that likely would have factored favorably in its citations against the company in the death of Rooke.

Lantta also contends that higher OSHA penalties are not needed because there's essentially no ceiling for how big of a fine the agency can issue, to the extent the violation warrants it. He said federal OSHA, by eliminating credits used to reduce base fine amounts "raised the floor," making it disproportionately tougher on small companies.
"I don't know that penalties are the answer," said Lantta. "Nobody looks back and says, 'We're glad Joe got killed.' What we got to do is prevent accidents from happening in the first place."
In fact, there is a "ceiling" for how much Wyoming OSHA can fine per violation. A serious violation can be up to $7,000 per violation, said Danni. A willful violation (failure to comply with an OSHA request to correct a hazard, for example) can be up to $70,000 per violation. Legislation contemplated in 2009 would have raised the ceiling to $250,000.
VOLUNTARY PROGRAMS
Last week, an iWatch investigative report, "'Model Workplaces' Not Always Safe," found that many companies across the nation that are enrolled in state-level Voluntary Protection Programs enjoy the benefit of fewer inspections but still were guilty of serious safety violations — many resulting in the death of workers. Part 2 of the series was published on Monday.

According to a review of Wyoming OSHA's most serious citations ("willful" and "repeat" citations), companies enrolled in Wyoming's "Cowboy Voluntary Protection Program" were not guilty of egregious violations during the past four years. However, the number of Wyoming companies enrolled in the program — and other voluntary programs at Wyoming OSHA — are remarkably few.
There are eight Wyoming employers enrolled in the Cowboy Voluntary Partnership Program — a leadership status that allows large companies with exceptional safety programs to mentor other companies in their field.
That's eight employers out of more than 17,000 in Wyoming.
Number of employers enrolled in Wyoming OSHA's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP): 81 out of 17,000-plus.
Number of employers enrolled in Wyoming OSHA's Employer Voluntary Technical Assistance Program (EVTAP): 28 out of 17,000-plus.
Many more companies and their employees take advantage of Wyoming OSHA's safety training courses in construction, excavation, crane safety and fall protection.
Danni said Wyoming OSHA has always pushed to convince more employers in the state to take advantage of free consultation visits, free training and other voluntary programs. But there is a perception that if an employer asks for a consultation, he'll get hit with hefty fines for violations OSHA discovers during an onsite visit.
Danni said that's not the case. OSHA consultants simply ask the company to correct problems, then offer advice on how to operate within OSHA's safety rules.
"OSHA is a four-letter word," Danni said. "With some employers you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink."
Critics of such voluntary OSHA programs argue that it provides a public forum for those employers who are already committed to worker safety, but they do not typically attract bad or hazard-prone operators.
That's where inspection and compliance efforts come in, said Danni. Despite Wyoming OSHA's limited resources, the agency directs its inspection and enforcement efforts to problem industries and problem companies.
"There's always a rotten apple out there where you need compliance and show the stick. For employers that do want to do good, well, there are resources out there to help you," said Danni.
State epidemiologist Timothy Ryan said he hopes the WOGISA effort continues to grow in Wyoming.
"It will foster more safety. And the more companies that are involved and make a serious commitment to safety, their records will improve," said Ryan. "Those others that don't; one would hope the amount of business they get would be reflected in their safety record."
