Is 0.040 inch thickness enough? My current blade is thinner and tends to veer toward the clamp.
If slabbing anything less than premium rough I've found the MK 225 "Hot Dog" to be a good blade. I like segmented rim blades for their ability to carry more coolant through the cut, and more mud out of it.
The MK 225 has a .050" rim. It's rigid enough for slabbing. The MK 303 .040" on the other saw will deflect at times.
10" trim saws are for the most part HAND FED.
And yes fast hands kill saw blades!
auto feed at 8 -10 minutes too the inch is best for all saws.
Though at times you may need to change the pulley for feed rates of 30 minutes to the inch or more.
And as for the MK-Blades none better out their. since 1866 - present.
I agree totally with Vince. The MK 225 is a great blade in the hands of anyone but a professional or perfectionist. Its almost indestructible, will wear forever, and hey . . . its an MK too!
Yep, our antique Victor 10" is strictly a "hand-slabber" for inconveniently shaped or other 3-5" chunks of common rough. It has a slotted fence made from 20-gage sheet metal angle bolted to the table, and I cram all sorts of rocks through it with the MK 225 on there.
The other 10" is a refurbed HP gravity feed saw from Cigar Box Rock. It has the .040" MK 303 on it. This saw gets all the better quality rough. The 303 only deflects on angled or protruding surfaces on the rough, so look out for that.
For any nicer rough bigger than 2-3", oddly shaped, or that I want precisely oriented to a certain surface, I swap out the 225 and put a 303 on the old saw. The .050" rim will help here - it's really easy to push a .040" blade around by hand.

Herbst Woods or sometimes called McPherson Woods, now known as Reynolds Woods, is a wooded area west of McPherson Ridge near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  The small wooded area was the location of a military engagement during the first day at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1, 1863.  The battle near the woods occurred around 10 a.m. on the first day of battle at Gettysburg.  Confederate Brigadier General James J. Archer took two brigades, consisting of the 1st, 7th and 14th Tennessee Regiments, as well as the 13th Alabama Regiment over Willoughby Run and through Herbst Woods to engage the Union brigades.  The Confederates would face off against Brigadier General Solomon Meredith and his brigades consisting of the 19th Indiana, 24th Michigan, 2nd Wisconsin and 7th Wisconsin Regiments.  When the fight was over at Herbst Woods (battle), Archer was captured and the Union I Corps Commander John F. Reynolds was killed.  Today Herbst Woods (Reynolds Woods) is renamed in honor of Major General Reynolds.

Howard E. Kennedy-The Most Wanted Nose in America.
While watching a 1967 episode of 'My Show', the name it is affectionately it's been given, I had a hunch. One of the guests the panel had to guess was a young man named Howard Kennedy. No, I never heard of him before this show. Once I found out what his occupation was, where he worked, and his goals, I had to check.
Howard E. Kennedy was an apprentice perfume sniffer/tester with Revlon. What was his goal? He wanted to go beyond sniffer and create his own fragrances. Did he succeed?
Mr. Kennedy didn't stay with Revlon, he moved on to Pfizer's Consumer Products Division (Coty). I have no idea what that is, okay, I didn't know before now. Maybe the ladies do. Did he advance there?
Mr. Kennedy became chief perfumer for World Wide Fragrance and Development and ended up with five FiFi awards for Fragrance of the Year. Have you heard of his fragrances?
Iron, Lady Stetson, Stetson for Men, Sophia, and Nuance.
I know I've used Stetson for Men. Stetson and Sophia are two Mr. Kennedy most identifies with in what he wished to achieve. The others you may have heard of.
Wild Musk (Coty), Undeniable (Avon), and Ginger with a Twist (Origins). After such success what does a man do?
How about two companies formed?
With Royal Essence, Ltd. and H.K. Enterprises, Inc., 1987 and 1990 respectfully, Mr. Kennedy became his own boss and fulfilled an ultimate dream.
He created the flavoring for Seagram's Extra and Sunfrost Tea Wine Cooler.
He created the flavoring for Country Kitchen Syrup (Log Cabin).
What takes you back to childhood days? So you smell the autumn leaves and think of the schoolyard playground, or jumping in leaves? Does a crisp morning with clear sunshine peeking through bare tree limbs throw you back to high school weekends? Can you use this to help your writing? Sure you can. Write what you feel.
For me there is a love affair with glass bottles. Really it can be any type of bottle that has character to it. But today I want to share an art that isn't really given enough credit.
One of the great tragedies of the world is that men are afraid of the word Avon. That word bring s the idea of makeup and pink cars with oh just so perfect looking women with samples for the woman of the house. But there is something a generation or two of men have missed out on. Let me show you why men should be a little more open to Avon, and it has nothing to do with makeup.
Cars are great, especially in glass. Imagine being a kid and walking into what you think must be the oldest house in the world and seeing a whole desk lined with cologne bottles like this. At that moment I was hooked. But maybe cars aren't really what you are into.
A how about a motorcycle?
You just never know where and when you will find works of art. I see these and get flashes of old feelings and they bring words to describe old moments of an old time. Anything can inspire a moment of writing and help capture a feeling you need. When you want to have that nostalgic feeling or a need to feel like a kid, look at something from your childhood. Then close your eyes and write what you see and feel.

Making Sure you and Your Children Survive a Divorce
Home/Mind & Body/Making Sure you and Your Children Survive a Divorce
Any Divorce, however amicable, is hard on children. They suffer collateral, or inadvertent, damage.They lose their sense of security, they probably have to move from their family home, they may not enjoy the same standard of living and they may even be uprooted from schools, neighbourhoods, friends and families.
When the divorce is not amicable, the consequences are much worse, as children are used as hostages, bargaining chips or spies in financial and custody disputes. They may even be denied contact with one of their parents.
Few parents mean to do their children deliberate harm, but feelings at the time of divorce are raw and they become entrenched in their positions. They need help in thinking clearly and in putting the needs of their children first.
The courts, because of their adversarial nature, are not the best place for parents to come to agreements on how to parent after divorce.
Fifteen years ago, the Family Life Centre in Johannesburg developed "The Parenting Plan", a booklet based on the work of its Australian counterpart. The front page says "Children Are For Keeps", which sums up the enormous responsibility of having children and of continuing to look after children when parents part.
Regularly updated, it looks at each detail of parenting in the face of a divorce: from how the children's expenses will be paid, to where the children will live, to how much time each parent gets to spend with the children, to how the parents will share school and extra-mural responsibilities, religious responsibilities and all other responsibilities.
Such is its value that it has been written into Chapter 3, Part 3 of the Children's Act of 2007, that states: "If parents are experiencing difficulties in exercising their parental responsibilities and rights in respect of a child, those persons, before seeking the intervention of a court, must first seek to agree on a parenting plan determining the exercise of their respective responsibilities and rights in respect of the child."
While the mandatory nature of the plan is still being discussed, it is already used by the Family Court and the High Court where couples who are unable to reach agreement around parenting are instructed to draw up a parenting plan through the Family Life Centre or a recognised mediator. Several referrals were made by the High Court to the Family Life Centre over the past year.
Parenting plans are already widely in use among couples with children who have opted for mediation, as opposed to solely consulting divorce attorneys, to voluntarily put down on paper how they are going to look after their children once they are divorced.
"The parenting plan is all about reaching decisions when couples plan to divorce, rather than imposing conditions on them, as the courts might do," explains Jackie Meyerowitz who, on August 16, opened the Jackie Meyerowitz Mediation Centre at the Family Life Centre's headquarters in Parkwood, Joburg.
The Family Life Centre is a non-profit organisation subsidised by the State, with over 20 experienced social workers, and 60 volunteer mediators and consultants, including psychologists, lawyers, priests, business people and citizens.
Mediators are trained by the Family Life Centre, which has offices all over Johannesburg, including the inner city, Soweto, Lenasia, Alexandra, Witkoppen and Midrand. The Family Life Centre also has mediators based at the Johannesburg courts. Similar centres exist throughout South Africa, and in many other countries in the world.
Meyerowitz has a long-standing relationship with The Family Life Centre, which she joined as a social worker in 1974, and where she dedicated her career for many years to pioneering family therapy and divorce mediation. She founded the Divorce Mediation Centre at the Family Life Centre in 1988. She now lives in Australia but has remained in close contact with the centre.
She and Joan Phillips, a founder of the Family Life Centre, helped raise more than R400 000 to build three new mediation rooms at the Parkwood headquarters. This adds to its existing 12 counselling rooms.
"All over the world governments have become aware of the value of family therapy and divorce mediation as a service to its citizens," Meyerowitz explains. "It is often incredibly hard for families to cope with the complexities of family life, let alone divorces or re-marriages, especially where children are involved."
In divorce mediation the mediators use flip charts to help the couple draw up what is called a 'Memorandum of Understanding', outlining all the areas that are important to them. The mediators are fair to both parties, they listen to both sides and then help the couple work towards points of agreement rather than disagreement, as to how they wish to conduct the divorce.
The parenting plan is a key component of the Memorandum of Understanding where children are involved. It is either filled out during the mediation sessions, or it can be taken home and filled out by the couple, separately or together, and brought to the next mediation session for discussion.
From maintenance and financial issues to schooling, to where the children will live, to whose surname the child or children will carry where, for example, the mother wishes to revert to her maiden name… they discuss all the couple's concerns. They even discuss sex education because both parents have to sign an agreement that their child or children can attend sex education classes at school.
"Our philosophy in drawing up the parenting plan is to focus on each parent's strengths and to treat each couple as unique," continues Meyerowitz. "For example, one parent might be good at doing maths homework with the children; another might be good at helping them with sport. Convenience and flexibility is also included in the visiting arrangements where, for example, the children might spend three days of the week with one of the parents and the rest of the week with the other. If one of the parents needs to be away for work, for example, an alternative plan is made, perhaps involving grandparents. Similarly, arrangements are made for school holidays and religious holidays. This way both parents know where they stand in every scenario."
Finances are a constant source of arguments in divorces. During mediation, a detailed financial plan is reached, sometimes with the help of an accountant and lawyer. In some circumstances, the parent who is, for example, paying for their child or children's schooling, wants to know that this money is being used solely for schooling. An agreement might be reached that they pay the amount directly to the school.
"Our whole approach is based on empathy. It is scary for most people to take the steps towards divorce and they fear it will be decided that their parenting is not good enough or that they will lose their children," says Meyerowitz, who adds that many couples facing divorce are at a "low ebb" and may feel anger, a lack of self-worth and be depressed. The mediators may refer couples for counselling at the centre when they are struggling with emotional issues that might be preventing them from making decisions.
The couple getting divorced generally attends the mediation sessions alone, but some sessions can include the children. Meyerowitz cautions that mediation is not for everyone and it is not usually used in situations of violence and/or drug and substance abuse. The Family Life Centre advises legal assistance in this situation. Mediation also does not work if there is absolute refusal from one partner to co-operate.
Where mediation is appropriate, it takes the form of three to six sessions of about one-and-a-half hours each. The sessions are usually weekly, and confidentiality is paramount. If couples travelfrom afar, their sessions can be extended to two to four hours and they can take place over several months. The cost of mediation is considerably more affordable than many divorce attorneys.
The standard rate for a 1.5-hour mediation is R800 but this is negotiable according to what couples can afford. Couples who can only afford R50, for example, are never turned away. The same applies to the legal information sessions offered to couples getting divorce, for which the standard fee is R300 per one-hour session. During the legal information sessions, couples find out all the legal issues and rights associated with divorce.
In 2010 alone the Family Life Centre engaged in 94 mediations and 166 legal information sessions. Of the mediation sessions, 60 percent were successful, the remaining percentage includes couples who are still attending mediation, couples who have opted to try again and asked for marriage counselling to try to sort out their differences, or couples who have taken time out to reconsider their options. The drop-out percentage is very low.
In the 94 mediations, 90 percent of the couples had children, which meant a parenting plan was put in place for each of them.
The Memorandum of Understanding and parenting plan drawn up during mediation is recognised by the courts. Couples can present this directly to the courts as the documentation on which they wish the courts to consider their application for divorce. The Family Life Centre does, however, advise couples to let an attorney see the documentation before going to court. The centre works closely with attorneys and refers couples to them if necessary. Where couples are cash-strapped, the centre recommends
legal aid clinics or attorneys who are prepared to reduce their fees.
Meyerowitz believes the parenting plan is an essential document for all couples with children getting divorced, irrespective of whether it becomes enforced by law or not. "It clearly sets out each parent's responsibilities and is there for parents to consult whenever they need."

Public Affairs Grants
Through its public diplomacy small grants program, U.S. Embassy Cotonou welcomes applications for educational, cultural and development projects led by Beninese citizens, by local NGOs, and educational institutions. U.S. citizens may apply in conjunction with Beninese groups. Projects must help Beninese better understand the society, culture, and values of the United States. Proposals can be submitted at any time and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. The Public Affairs Section usually takes 2-3 months to review and make awards. Grants are typically in the range of 1,000 – 5,000 USD. While co-sponsor funding is not required, it greatly adds to the likelihood that your project will be selected. Funds are extremely limited, and we generally cannot fund food, entertainment, alcohol or the travel of non-U.S. citizens from the U.S. to Benin.
We do not fund Beninese travel to the U.S. or other countries via this program. We cannot fund building or infrastructure projects. Projects consisting only of a single meeting or brief conference are also discouraged.

A crew of daring adventurers braves the pitiless white wasteland of Antarctica in a bid to be the first explorers to reach the South Pole by zeppelin. Led by intrepid Commander Donald Hall and his best friend and first mate, Lt. Tom Armstrong, the expedition's progress is broadcast to the world by radio. The anxious public is riveted by news of the initial success in reaching the Pole, then horrified by news of a freak blizzard that ices the doomed airship out of the sky. No one follows the reports more desperately than Commander Hall's wife, Miriam, whose secret love affair with Lt. Armstrong was discovered by her husband the night before the two men cast off. When news of a single survivor reaches her, she must search her heart for her true love.
The Lost Zeppelin (1929) is an epic spectacle from the very earliest days of sound pictures, and the primitiveness of its audio track is more than compensated for by the amazingly realistic visual effects. Produced while Admiral Byrd was making his first expeditions to the South Pole, and only two years after Lindberg's transatlantic flight, this film captures the earliest days of the globalization of media, when radio brought these triumphs to the eager ears of millions of people around the world.

WEST LEBANON, NY – Saturday night's Heavy Hauler-sponsored Modified feature may have only been for appearance points due to the Super DIRTcar Series race in Fulton. However, that didn't mean that there wasn't any action.
Steve Hough led the field to green on a blustery night. He almost immediately fell into a battle with J.R. Heffner. The veteran campaigner gave Hough all he could give, but the East Greenbush owner/driver was able to hold off Heffner's charge.
Hough had begun to pull away a bit before Kolby Schroder spun and hit the wall in turn 3 to bring out a yellow on lap 7. Schroder was ok, but he was done for the evening.
On the restart, Paul Gilardi and Dave McFeeters collided exiting turn 2 to bring out another caution. Gilardi's car had significant damage to the rear, but was able to continue. McFeeters was forced to retire his new Bicknell chassis.
Opening night winner Andy Bachetti was fast once again on Saturday night, but he fell victim to the slick track like Schroder did. Just after the restart from the Gilardi-McFeeters incident, Bachetti spun out and hit the wall in turn 3. Bachetti had started ninth and thought that he had something for Hough, Heffner and the other contenders. However, he could not continue after his incident and had to settle for 17th.
As the race continued on, Heffner continued to lose pace as compared to Hough. Behind Heffner, Elmo Reckner was in close pursuit along with Tremont.
As the race continued on, Tremont took third away and ran down Heffner. After a brief battle, Tremont was able to move into second on lap 26. Shortly after the positions changed, Paul Gilardi slowed on the backstretch to draw a caution. After being hit hard in the rear early on, Gilardi's night came to an end four laps short of the finish.
After the restart, Tremont put extensive pressure on Hough for the lead. Hough held tough on the high line, forcing Tremont to the inside. The inside line requires more bite to make it work and Tremont just could not get enough momentum as Hough held on to take the win.
Afterwards, Hough was very pleased with his evening.
Tremont ended up second, followed by Heffner. Reckner finished fourth, while Rob Pitcher overtook Wayne Jelley in the final laps to take fifth.

Vail Highlights
Our intrepid reporters and researchers were in Vail bringing our readers the stories that the others don't dare to report. They worked overtime finding the things that the others ignored in Vail, which is why our report is a bit late. But, as they say, better late than never. Let's find out what our journalists came up with...
1. It's deja vu all over again. Yogi Berra would have loved this one. The 2010 Olympics Super-G was that last major championship race where Lindsey Vonn won a bronze medal. The Austrian trainer set the course, an Austrian racer won the gold medal, and Tina Maze won the silver medal. Ms. Vonn's ex-husband, who was her trainer at the time, accused the Austrians of conspiring to make her lose (see this article). Fast forward five years to to Vail. The course setter for the Super-G was the Austrian trainer, though a different one than in Vancouver. The winner was Austrian, Tina Maze won silver, and Lindsey Vonn got the bronze medal. Here is another coincidence that was pointed out by one of our Alert Readers. The winner in Vancouver, Andrea Fischbacher, and Vail gold medalist Anna Fenninger both have the same initials. Is this just a weird coincidence or a planned Austrian conspiracy? This sounds like a job for our intrepid research team.
2. Two Awards, One Slope. Men's downhill gold medalist Patrick Kueng is the only ski racer to win two different awards on the same race piste. Earlier in the season Patrick executed this epic save in the Beaver Creek World Cup downhill race. His score was over 17 points out of a possible 10 for artistry. He earned bonus points for his right leg being straight back when he landed and for his graceful arm positions and landing on one ski without falling. He set a record artistry score with that save that may never be broken. At the World Championships Patrick stayed on both skis and won the gold medal in the downhill. He may not have been as acrobatic in the World Championships, but the gold medal made up for it.
3. Someone Didn't Do His Homework. During the women's Super-G race, one of the US commentators said that gold medalist Anna Fenninger was from Russia. Anna is from Salzburg, which was still in Austria the last time our intrepid research team looked at a map. Russia and Austria are not neighboring countries by any stretch of the imagination, though St. Petersburg and Salzburg both start with an S and end in "burg."Anna cannot see Russia from her house. At the Super-G award ceremony, 6th place finisher Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein was introduced as being from Austria. That mistake is a little more excusable because Liechtenstein borders Austria. But Tina trains with the Swiss team. Switzerland is the other country which borders Liechtenstein. Also at the Super-G award ceremony, the children's choir which sang the Austrian national anthem left out some words. Oops. Did they really think that nobody would notice the missing words? Uh...Maybe 99% of the spectators didn't think anything was amiss with the Austrian national anthem, but Anna certainly noticed.
4. Who Are These Guys? US racer Travis Ganong won the silver medal in the men's downhill and his teammate Steve Nyman was 4th. But very few people seemed to know who they were. Many of the spectators thought that Bode Miller was the entire US men's team. This was something which separated the true ski racing fans from the people who were in Vail simply to be seen. When Bode went out with an injury in the Super-G, most spectators thought that the whole US team was out. People were demanding refunds simply because they didn't realize that Travis and Steve are now the main men of the US speed team now.
5. Redemption is Sweet. Two seasons ago the Swiss men did not win a single medal in Schladming. In Vail they won gold (Patrick Kueng) and bronze (Beat Feuz) in the downhill race. In just two seasons the Swiss men went from being threatened with relegation to competing in women's races (see this story) to being medal winners against their fellow men. The only one who was really disappointed was Carlo Janka, who wanted to become the first racer to win gold medals in the men's and women's division at a World Championship. We hope that the Swiss men can keep up their momentum.
6. Where was Vinnie? Two years ago in Schladming everyone was asking where Vinnie "The Shark" Razzovelli was when Lindsey Vonn crashed and tore her ACL. This year the same question was asked, but for a different reason. Vinnie and his Freedonian teammates did not get to compete in Vail. Evidently the International Ski Federation (FIS) has stricter criteria about the countries that can enter racers in the World Championships. While the International Olympic Committee allowed the fictional country of Freedonia to enter a team for Sochi, the FIS has a rule that says only racers from real countries can compete at a World Championship. It looks like we will have to wait until the 2018 Olympics to see Vinnie and his fellow Freedonian Mafia enforcers on the race pistes. However, Vinnie and his colleagues were in Vail working as part of the security detail.
Now for our special awards....
1. Best Excuse. Lindsey Vonn may not have won a gold medal in Vail, but she gets one for having the best excuse for not winning. After placing 5th in the downhill race, Ms. Vonn said that that snow was different than it was during the training runs. She did not elaborate any further. Our intrepid research team was put to work trying to figure out what she meant. Was the snow harder, softer, icier, wetter, warmer, colder, or more powdery? It was none of the above. The reason why the snow was different in the real race than it was in training was that it was a different shade of white. During the training runs the snow was eggshell white but on race day it was pearl white. Most recreational skiers would not recognize the subtle difference in shades of white, but World Cup athletes are sensitive to those differences and those little variations can affect performance.
2. Top Witch Doctor. Dr. Djibuku of France, who works with the men's team. French men won a gold medal in the slalom, and bronzes in the Super-G and giant slalom races. Germany's Dr. Mabongo was close behind. Dr. Mabongo works with the German men's team, but in Vail he also worked with the women. German racers won silver in the women's giant slalom and silver and bronze in the men's slalom. Norway's Dr. Mwafume was a distant third. Kjetil Jansrud won a silver medal in the super-combined, but the Norwegians failed to win medals in the other events. You may be asking, what about Austria? Yes, Austria won the most medals, but they did it without a witch doctor.
3. Best Artistry. No championship report from the Blickbild would be complete without an award for best artistry. Our intrepid reporters didn't see anything worth mentioning until the very last day in the men's slalom race. It was almost to the point where we would not have given an artistry award. But the last day of competition gave us our two winners...Benjamin Raich of Austria and Forerunner Number Three. Benni straddled a gate and did a 360 degree spin before continuing for a short while. He scored 14.2 out of a possible 10 points, earning bonuses for the 360 spin and keeping his momentum and rhythm. His score would have been even higher if he didn't straddle the gate first. That would have broken Patrick Kueng's scoring record. Forerunner Number Three tied Benni's mark. After losing his skis, he stayed on his feet and slid down doing slalom turns on his boots before coming to a controlled stop on the sideline. He earned bonus points for his beautiful arm positions and for the originality of combining surfing with skiing. Forerunners are not normally eligible for our awards, but his move was so unique it deserved a medal.
And that concludes another Boston Blickbild exclusive report.
The Boston Blickbild. Our motto is: Our reporters and researchers are so unique that they deserve medals.

I'm looking for any tips, advice, or thoughts on the matter. Anyone maybe who has done this type of online selling…best sites, good pay site options, and please don't bombard me with ads or such. I'm just looking for some input. I've done some research and really want to get this up and running soon. I have a good plan of action, a friend who is an accountant and willing to help me get a business plan in action, and plenty of books to start off selling with.
I have strategies for buying more books and likewise, want to donate some of what I earn to a local charity…a literacy council. Why not have a bookstore that supports local literacy…goes hand in hand in my mind.

This case involves an action for damages against a railroad due to its alleged failure to maintain adequate warning devices at a grade crossing in western Tennessee. After her husband was killed in a crossing accident, respondent brought suit against petitioner, the operator of the train involved in the collision. Respondent claimed that the warning signs posted at the crossing, which had been installed using federal funds, were insufficient to warn motorists of the danger posed by passing trains. The specific issue we must decide is whether the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970, 84 Stat. 971, as amended, 49 U.S.C. § 20101 et seq., in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration's regulation addressing the adequacy of warning devices installed with federal funds, preempts state tort actions such as respondent's. We hold that it does.
§ 20106. Although the preemption provision contains an exception, see ibid., it is inapplicable here.
conduct and systematically maintain a survey of all highways to identify those railroad crossings which may require separation, relocation, or protective devices, and establish and implement a schedule of projects for this purpose.
§ 130(d). That schedule must, "[a]t a minimum, . . . provide signs for all railway-highway crossings." Ibid.
[f]or crossings where the requirements of § 646.214(b)(3) are not applicable, the type of warning device to be installed, whether the determination is made by a State regulatory agency, State highway agency, and/or the railroad, is subject to the approval of FHWA.
Thus, at crossings where any of the conditions listed in (b)(3) exist, adequate warning devices, if installed using federal funds, are automatic gates and flashing lights. And where the (b)(3) conditions are not present, the decision of what devices to install is subject to FHWA approval.
Shortly after 5 a.m. on October 3, 1993, Eddie Shanklin drove his truck eastward on Oakwood Church Road in Gibson County, Tennessee. App. to Pet. for Cert. 28a. As Shanklin crossed the railroad tracks that intersect the road, he was struck and killed by a train operated by petitioner. Ibid. At the time of the accident, the Oakwood Church Road crossing was equipped with advance warning signs and reflectorized crossbucks, id. at 34a, the familiar black-and-white, X-shaped signs that read "RAILROAD CROSSING," see U.S. Dept. of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices § 8B-2 (1988) (MUTCD). The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) had installed the signs in 1987 with federal funds received under the Crossings Program. App. to Pet. for Cert. 3a. The TDOT had requested the funds as part of a project to install such signs at 196 grade crossings in 11 Tennessee counties. See App. 128-131. That request contained information about each crossing covered by the project, including the presence or absence of several of the factors listed in § 646.214(b)(3). See id. at 134. The FHWA approved the project, App. to Pet. for Cert. 34a, and federal funds accounted for 99% of the cost of installing the signs at the crossings, see App. 133. It is undisputed that the signs at the Oakwood Church Road crossing were installed and fully compliant with the federal standards for such devices at the time of the accident.
Following the accident, Mr. Shanklin's widow, respondent Dedra Shanklin, brought this diversity wrongful death action against petitioner in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. Id. at 29-34. Respondent's claims were based on Tennessee statutory and common law. Id. at 31-33. She alleged that petitioner had been negligent in several respects, including by failing to maintain adequate warning devices at the crossing. Ibid. Petitioner moved for summary judgment on the ground that the FRSA preempted respondent's suit. App. to Pet. for Cert. 28a. The District Court held that respondent's allegation that the signs installed at the crossing were inadequate was not preempted. Id. at 29a-37a. Respondent thus presented her inadequate warning device claim and three other allegations of negligence to a jury, which found that petitioner and Mr. Shanklin had both been negligent. App. 47. The jury assigned 70% responsibility to petitioner and 30% to Mr. Shanklin, and it assessed damages of $615,379. Ibid. The District Court accordingly entered judgment of $430,765.30 for respondent. Id. at 48.
The Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed, holding that the FRSA did not preempt respondent's claim that the devices at the crossing were inadequate. See 173 F.3d 386 (1999). It reasoned that federal funding alone is insufficient to trigger preemption of state tort actions under the FRSA and §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4). Id. at 394. Instead, the railroad must establish that § 646.214(b)(3) or (4) was "applied" to the crossing at issue, meaning that the FHWA affirmatively approved the particular devices installed at the crossing as adequate for safety. Id. at 397. The court concluded that, because the TDOT had installed the signs for the purpose of providing "minimum protection" at the Oakwood Church Road crossing, there had been no such individualized determination of adequacy.
We granted certiorari, 528 U.S. 949 (1999), to resolve a conflict among the Courts of Appeals as to whether the FRSA, by virtue of 23 CFR §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) (1999), preempts state tort claims concerning a railroad's failure to maintain adequate warning devices at crossings where federal funds have participated in the installation of the devices. Compare Ingram v. CSX Transp., Inc., 146 F.3d 858 (CA11 1998) (holding that federal funding of crossing improvement triggers preemption under FRSA); Armijo v. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe R. Co., 87 F.3d 1188 (CA10 1996) (same); Elrod v. Burlington Northern R. Co., 68 F.3d 241 (CA8 1995) (same); Hester v. CSX Transp., Inc., 61 F.3d 382 (CA5 1995) (same), cert. denied, 516 U.S. 1093 (1996), with 173 F.3d 386 (CA6 1999) (case below); Shots v. CSX Transp., Inc., 38 F.3d 304 (CA7 1994) (no preemption until representative of Federal Government has determined that devices installed are adequate for safety).
and hence "disavows any claim to cover the subject matter of that body of law." Id. at 669-670.
§§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) displace state and private decisionmaking authority by establishing a federal law requirement that certain protective devices be installed or federal approval obtained.
Ibid. As a result, those regulations "effectively set the terms under which railroads are to participate in the improvement of crossings." Ibid.
cover the subject matter of state law which, like the tort law on which respondent relies, seeks to impose an independent duty on a railroad to identify and/or repair dangerous crossings.
Id. at 671. The sole question in this case, then, is whether §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) "are applicable" to all warning devices actually installed with federal funds.
We believe that Easterwood answers this question as well. As an original matter, one could plausibly read §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) as being purely definitional, establishing a standard for the adequacy of federally funded warning devices but not requiring that all such devices meet that standard. Easterwood rejected this approach, however, and held that the requirements spelled out in (b)(3) and (4) are mandatory for all warning devices installed with federal funds.
[F]or projects that involve grade crossings . . . in which "Federal aid funds participate in the installation of the [warning] devices," regulations specify warning devices that must be installed.
Id. at 666 (emphasis added). Once it is accepted that the regulations are not merely definitional, their scope is plain: they apply to "any project where Federal aid funds participate in the installation of the devices." 23 CFR § 646.214(b)(3)(i) (1999).
displace[s] state and private decisionmaking authority by establishing a federal law requirement that certain protective devices be installed or federal approval obtained.
requires gate arms in certain circumstances, and requires FHWA approval of the safety devices in all other circumstances. Thus, the warning devices in place at a crossing improved with the use of federal funds have, by definition, been specifically found to be adequate under a regulation issued by the Secretary. Any state rule that more or different crossing devices were necessary at a federally funded crossing is therefore preempted.
Id. at 24. Thus, Easterwood adopted the FHWA's own understanding of the application of §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4), a regulation that the agency had been administering for 17 years.
Respondent and the Government now argue that §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) are more limited in scope and only apply where the warning devices have been selected based on diagnostic studies and particularized analyses of the conditions at the crossing. See Brief for Respondent 16, 24; Brief for United States as Amicus Curiae 22 (hereinafter Brief for United States). They contend that the Crossings Program actually comprises two distinct programs -- the "minimum protection" program and the "priority" or "hazard" program. See Brief for Respondent 1-7; Brief for United States 15-21. Under the "minimum protection" program, they argue, States obtain federal funds merely to equip crossings with advance warning signs and reflectorized crossbucks, the bare minimum required by the MUTCD, without any judgment as to whether the signs are adequate. See Brief for Respondent 5-7, 30-36; Brief for United States 15-21. Under the "priority" or "hazard" program, in contrast, diagnostic teams conduct individualized assessments of particular crossings, and state or FHWA officials make specific judgments about the adequacy of the warning devices using the criteria set out in § 646.214(b)(3). See Brief for Respondent 5-7, 34-35; Brief for United States 18-21. They therefore contend that (b)(3) and (4) only apply to devices installed under the "priority" or "hazard" program, when a diagnostic team has actually applied the decisional process mandated by (b)(3). See Brief for Respondent 16; Brief for United States 18-25. Only then has the regulation prescribed a federal standard for the adequacy of the warning devices that displaces state law covering the same subject.
This construction, however, contradicts the regulation's plain text. Sections 646.214(b)(3) and (4) make no distinction between devices installed for "minimum protection" and those installed under a so-called "priority" or "hazard" program. Nor does their applicability depend on any individualized determination of adequacy by a diagnostic team or an FHWA official. Rather, as the FHWA itself explained in its Easterwood brief, §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) have a "comprehensive scope." Brief for United States in CSX Transp., Inc. v. Easterwood, O.T. 1992, Nos. 91-790 and 91-1206 at 12. Section 646.214(b)(3) states that its requirements apply to "any project where Federal aid funds participate in the installation of the devices." 23 CFR § 646.214(b)(3)(i) (1999) (emphasis added). And § 646.214(b)(4) applies to all federally funded crossings that do not meet the criteria specified in (b)(3). Either way, the federal standard for adequacy applies to the crossing improvement and "substantially subsume[s] the subject matter of the relevant state law." Easterwood, 507 U.S. at 664.
Thus, contrary to the Government's position here, §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) "specify warning devices that must be installed" as a part of all federally funded crossing improvements. Id. at 666. Although generally "an agency's construction of its own regulations is entitled to substantial deference," Pauley v. BethEnergy Mines, Inc., 501 U.S. 680, 698 (1991), no such deference is appropriate here. Not only is the FHWA's interpretation inconsistent with the text of §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4), see Robertson v. Methow Valley Citizens Council, 490 U.S. 332, 359 (1989), but it also contradicts the agency's own previous construction that this Court adopted as authoritative in Easterwood, cf. Maislin Industries, U.S., Inc. v. Primary Steel, Inc., 497 U.S. 116, 131 (1990) ("Once we have determined a statute's clear meaning, we adhere to that determination under the doctrine of stare decisis, and we judge an agency's later interpretation of the statute against our prior determination of the statute's meaning").
The dissent contends that, under our holding, state law is preempted even though "[n]o authority, federal or state, has found that the signs in place" are "adequate to protect safety." Post at 360 (opinion of GINSBURG, J.). This presupposes that States have not fulfilled their obligation to comply with §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4). Those subsections establish a standard for adequacy that States are required to follow in determining what devices to install when federal funds are used. The dissent also argues that Easterwood did not hold that federal funding of the devices is "sufficient" to effect preemption, and that "any statement as to the automatic preemptive effect of federal funding should have remained open for reconsideration in a later case." Post at 361. But Easterwood did not, in fact, leave this question open. Instead, at the behest of the FHWA, the Court clearly stated that §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) preempt state tort claims concerning the adequacy of all warning devices installed with the participation of federal funds.
Respondent also argues that preemption does not lie in this particular case because the Oakwood Church Road crossing presented several of the factors listed in § 646.214(b)(3), and because the TDOT did not install pavement markings as required by the MUTCD. See Brief for Respondent 20-22, 36; Brief in Opposition 6-8. This misconceives how preemption operates under these circumstances. When the FHWA approves a crossing improvement project and the State installs the warning devices using federal funds, §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) establish a federal standard for the adequacy of those devices that displaces state tort law addressing the same subject. At that point, the regulation dictates "the devices to be installed and the means by which railroads are to participate in their selection." Easterwood, supra, at 671. It is this displacement of state law concerning the devices' adequacy, and not the State's or the FHWA's adherence to the standard set out in §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) or to the requirements of the MUTCD, that preempts state tort actions. Whether the State should have originally installed different or additional devices, or whether conditions at the crossing have since changed such that automatic gates and flashing lights would be appropriate, is immaterial to the preemption question.
It should be noted that nothing prevents a State from revisiting the adequacy of devices installed using federal funds. States are free to install more protective devices at such crossings with their own funds or with additional funding from the FHWA. What States cannot do -- once they have installed federally funded devices at a particular crossing -- is hold the railroad responsible for the adequacy of those devices. The dissent objects that this bestows on railroads a "double windfall": the Federal Government pays for the installation of the devices, and the railroad is simultaneously absolved of state tort liability. Post at 360-361. But the same is true of the result urged by respondent and the Government. Respondent and the Government acknowledge that §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) can preempt state tort law, but they argue that preemption only occurs when the State has installed the devices pursuant to a diagnostic team's analysis of the crossing in question. Under this reading, railroads would receive the same "double windfall" -- federal funding of the devices and preemption of state tort law -- so long as a diagnostic team has evaluated the crossing. The supposed conferral of a "windfall" on the railroads therefore casts no doubt on our construction of the regulation.
Sections 646.214(b)(3) and (4) "cover the subject matter" of the adequacy of warning devices installed with the participation of federal funds. As a result, the FRSA preempts respondent's state tort claim that the advance warning signs and reflectorized crossbucks installed at the Oakwood Church Road crossing were inadequate. Because the TDOT used federal funds for the signs' installation, §§ 646.214(b)(3) and (4) governed the selection and installation of the devices. And because the TDOT determined that warning devices other than automatic gates and flashing lights were appropriate, its decision was subject to the approval of the FHWA. See 23 CFR § 646.214(b)(4) (1999). Once the FHWA approved the project and the signs were installed using federal funds, the federal standard for adequacy displaced Tennessee statutory and common law addressing the same subject, thereby preempting respondent's claim.
(E) Either a high volume of vehicular traffic, high number of train movements, substantial numbers of school buses or trucks carrying hazardous materials, unusually restricted sight distance, continuing accident occurrences, or any combination of these conditions.
(ii) In individual cases where a diagnostic team justifies that gates are not appropriate, FHWA may find that the above requirements are not applicable.
(4) For crossings where the requirements of § 646.214(b)(3) are not applicable, the type of warning device to be installed, whether the determination is made by a State regulatory agency, State highway agency, and/or the railroad, is subject to the approval of FHWA.

Whether it is the anxiety caused by tight deadlines, the insecurity facing a complex project, the despair of having too many projects at hand, the anger after a negative feedback by the client, the frustration because of a project that hasn't gone ahead, the life of a translator/interpreter is full emotions that have to be regulated. For when not regulated, what touches us can target our work and our personal life.
Passionate about affective intelligence, my proposal is therefore putting into perspective the main affective fields in our profession, and suggesting coping strategies to achieve a healthier pulsing in our lives (professional and personal), allowing us to be affected but not overwhelmed by the different stressors.

Космическа подготовка
През август 1987 г. в Германия е извършен набор от астронавти за полет по програмата Spacelab D-2 с космическия кораб "Спейс шатъл". Герхард Тиле е един от петте избрани кандидати. Между 1988 и 1990 г. преминава общокосмическа подготовка в Германския аерокосмически център (DLR). Подготовката, включвала полети със самолет Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker по параболична траектория за временна безтегловност. Тиле извършва на него повече 1300 полета. През октомври 1992 г. получава назначение в екипаж като специалист по полезни товари. През 1991–1992 г., по време на провеждане на избора на втория набор в отряда на астронавтите на ЕКА, е един от петте кандидати от Германия, но не е зачислен в него и остава астронавт на DLR.

По време на полета на мисия STS-55 е координатор по комуникациите с екипажа на совалката "Колумбия", намиращ се в германския Център за управление на полетите в Оберпфафенхофен.

През юли 1996 г. е изпратен в Хюстън, където преминава подготовка в Космическия център "Линдън Джонсън", заедно с група 16 на НАСА. През август 1998 г. получава квалификация специалист на полетите и е зачислен в отряда на астронавтите на ЕКА, със седалище в Кьолн.

През октомври 1998 г. получава назначение в екипажа на совалката "Индевър" (мисия STS-99).

Полет с "Индевър"

Единствения си космически полет Герхард Тиле извършва от 11 до 22 февруари 2000 г. с американската совалка "Индевър", мисия STS-99 по програмата SRTM. Главната задача на този полет е изпълнение на радарно топографско заснемане на повърхността на Земята. Съставя се триизмерна цифрова карта на земната повърхност с висока разделителна способност (1 метър), каквато се прави за първи път. Снимките се правят в пояса между 60° с. ш. и 56° ю. ш. от земната повърхност. Специалистът на полета Тиле отговаря за работата на радара. Полетът е с продължителност 11 денонощия 5 часа 38 минути 50 секунди.

След полета
След завършване на космическия полет Герхард Тиле е назначен в НАСА като оператор на връзката с екипажите (първи от европеец).

Bunnel Life Pulse High-Frequency Ventilator Patient Circuits have been recalled because the device's melted insulation can lead to sparking and smoke, the U.S Food & Drug Administration (FDA) just announced.
The agency notified healthcare professionals and their provider organizations that the Bunnell Life Pulse High-Frequency Ventilator has been found to have heater wire insulation that can melt, causing sparking and smoke, close to the humidifier cartridge. This defect can lead to serious adverse consequences, including death.
Patient circuits are used for ventilating critically ill infants with pulmonary interstitial emphysema and infants with respiratory distress syndrome complicated by pulmonary air leaks, who are, in the opinion of their physicians, failing on conventional ventilation.
The patient circuit provides a conduit for humidifying, warming, and temperature monitoring of the pressurized gas. The patient circuit is indicated for a seven-day single use.
On November 19, 2012, Bunnell sent its customers an Urgent: Medical Device Recall Notification letter by certified mail, which indicated the reason for the recall, the potential risk to health, and actions to be taken by the customer/user. The letter pointed out that while a recall has been issued, the firm is not replacing the defective circuits. The MedWatch Safety Alert, including a link to the Recall Notice, is available here.
All serious adverse events and product quality problems should be reported to the FDA MedWatch program at: www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm.

Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec Turned to Pastor to Cope with Depression
Carrie Dedrick Religious persecution, missions, Christianity around the world
Reality star and multimillionaire Robert Herjavec said in a recent interview that he struggled with depression after divorcing his wife of 24 years, and even contemplated suicide. Herjavec, who stars in the popular TV show "Shark Tank," as well as the Canadian equivalent "Dragon's Den," told People magazine that he turned to his pastor to help him cope after the divorce last year.
Christian Today reports that Herjavec stood on a hotel balcony prepared to end his life last July. His three children stopped speaking to him after the separation.
Herjavec said, "I just wanted to end it. Everyone has their kryptonite. For me, it was my kids. It took me to a place I never thought I would go."
He continued, "It's been a terribly difficult year. We were great parents and a great team, but over time we drifted apart."
Herjavec's pastor suggested he help in Union Gospel Mission's soup kitchen in Seattle.
The reality star saw "suffering and hopelessness" in others and decided to give back. He began providing clothing and food to homeless people that we not healthy enough to make it to the shelter and even bought Wal-Mart completely out of socks on one occasion to give away.
Herjavec, who is now appearing on "Dancing with the Stars" said, "I was hollow and broken. And these people saved my life."

Sharjah Investment and Development Authority's (Shurooq) project portfolio in the UAE spans 11.74km2, it has been revealed.
In the last nine years, Shurooq's real estate investments have amounted to $2.1bn (AED7.6bn), which includes completed and ongoing projects.
Shurooq's portfolio includes large-scale projects such as Al Qasba, Al Majaz Waterfront, and Al Montazah Amusement and Waterpark, as well as the Al Noor Island, located along Khalid Lagoon.
The Flag Island and other Flag Square facilities across the emirate are also developed by Shurooq.
Ongoing projects in the company's portfolio include Heart of Sharjah, which is being touted as the region's "largest historical preservation and restoration project".
Upon completion in 2025, the five-phase project will include tourist facilities such as Souq Al Shanasiyah and Al Bait Hotel.
Both the $27.2m (AED100m) Al Bait Hotel and the $16.3m (AED60m) Al Badayer Lodge will be handed over in 2018.
Shurooq is also developing the Mleiha project, which includes the Fossil Rock Lodge, 80% of which is currently complete.
Commenting on Shurooq's nine years of doing business, its executive chairman, HE Marwan bin Jassim Al Sarkal, said the dearth of integrated real estate projects led Shurooq to partner with firms such as Eagle Hills, Nakheel, Diamond Developers, and Emaar Hospitality.
He added: "Sharjah's phenomenal growth cemented the emirate's image as a preferred investment destination for investors from across the world, and prompted Shurooq to adopt an integrated plan and a new vision to cope with economic changes.
