Boston Marathon victims vow to dance, to run again
Patients say spirits intact, thoughts positive
Mornings are the hardest for Adrianne Haslet because the 32-year-old professional ballroom dancer forgets at first that her left foot is gone.
Beth Roche wakes up knowing she can't feel sorry for herself, that she has to focus on rehabbing her ravaged left leg.
But despite life-changing injuries, both women have vowed that the Boston Marathon bombings that killed three people and left them among the ranks of more than 260 injured will not define their lives.
Parts of them may be broken, but both patients at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital said in separate interviews Wednesday that their spirits are intact and their thoughts are positive.
"I absolutely want to dance again and I also want to run the marathon next year," said Haslet. "I will crawl across the finish line, literally crawl, if it means I finish it."
Roche, a 59-year-old medical office manager from Highland, Ind., who ran Chicago's marathon last year, said she's concentrating on more than just walking again.
"I want to do another marathon by the time I'm 65," she said Wednesday.
Roche said the first bomb at the marathon peeled her leg open "like a sardine can." It happened right after she saw her daughter, Rebecca Roche, a 33-year-old Boston pharmacist, cross the race's finish line.
The mother has had one surgery in which doctors implanted pins and plates in her leg, and has another surgery in her future.
The first blast left bones poking out of her leg, and made her unable to run for cover. She said a first responder tried to shield her as the second bomb exploded.
Roche ended up at Tufts Medical Center, and begged staffers before she went into surgery to find her family and let them know she was alive.
The blast from the second explosion knocked Haslet off her feet from about four feet away.
The Boston woman, an Arthur Murray Dance Studio employee, thought she was going to die when she looked down and saw how her body had been mutilated.
She's had one surgery to amputate her left foot, and another in which doctors amputated more of the same leg below her knee.
On Patriots' Day morning, they were walking near the marathon's finish line when the second explosion left them tangled in a heap on the ground and Haslet saw something was wrong with her foot.
"I remember thinking, 'That's so gross,' and being terrified that this is the moment I was going to die," she said.
Haslet crawled toward a restaurant door, before someone dragged her toward a staircase. Her husband, although also injured, took off his belt to make a tourniquet for her. Then others arrived to help and soon she was in a triage area where someone wrote a number on her forehead.
"I just prayed that I had a number that was high enough to get help," she said. "I just kept screaming out, 'I'm a ballroom dancer! I'm a ballroom dancer! Just save my foot."
The next day, she woke up at Boston Medical Center and saw her mother.
"I told my mom 'My foot feels like it's asleep.' And she said, 'Adrianne, you don't have a foot anymore.'"
Nine days after the attack, neither Haslet nor Roche has thought much about the Russian-born brothers, one dead, one alive, whom authorities said are responsible for the attack.
As she recovers, Haslet said she trusts law-enforcement officials will do what's best.
She's hoping to get a prosthetic device in the next two months.
Roche cannot bend her left leg, as a grid of metal rods that's meant to help her heal protrudes into it.
She said she isn't sure if authorities should seek the death penalty for the remaining bombing suspect, but says everyone should move forward without fear.
"If we're afraid, the enemy wins," she said.

The Ford Motor Company announced on 16 January 1997 that it was to cut 1,300
jobs at its Halewood plant on Merseyside (in the north-west of England) This
was after five days of speculation following a report in the /Observer/
newspaper that Ford wanted to install new efficient working practices, and
that it would threaten to build its new -generation Escort model elsewhere,
or close the plant altogether if trade unions did not agree to concessions.
It was confirmed on 16 January that production of the new-model Escort would
not include Halewood but instead be located at Saarlouis (Germany) and
Valencia (Spain), and furthermore that Halewood would also immediately reduce
its shift pattern to one shift per day. Because production of the old-model
Escort is due to be phased out by 2000, there appears to be a real threat of
the plant closing down altogether
The agreement was concluded on 11 February 1997 and sets out the ways in
which the financial recovery, growth and modernisation of the Italian rail
system will be brought about in line with the guidelines of the 1991
Directive on the development of Community railways (440/91/EEC). The deal was
signed by the Ministry of Transport, the state railways board (FS), and the
following railway trade union organisations: CGIL (the General Confederation
of Italian Workers); CISL (the Italian Confederation of Workers' Unions); UIL
(the Union of Italian Workers); the three confederations' respective sectoral
organisations - Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl and Uilt-Uil; and three non-confederal
organisations - Fisafs-Cisal (the autonomous rail trade union), Comu
(theUnited Train Drivers' Committee) and Sma ( the Train Drivers' Trade
Figures from the Confederation of Norwegian Business and Industry (
Næringslivets Hovedorganisasjon or NHO) show that over 530,000 working days
were lost in industrial conflict during the 1996 wage negotiations. These
figures cover only private sector companies which are members of NHO, but
nearly all industrial conflicts in 1996 took place within this area. This is
the highest number of working days lost since 1986, when Norway experienced a
major lockout in the private sector. In 1996, lawful strikes accounted for
all the lost working days, and the number of working days lost in strikes
alone (ie, excluding lock-outs) is thus the highest since the 1930s. The
major strikes all came in the private sector and among unions affiliated to
the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (Landsorganisasjonen i Norge, or
LO). The Government did not, as often before, intervene to stop strikes with
compulsory arbitration. Three strikes accounted for the majority of lost
working days. These came in the metal industry, the hotel and restaurant
industry and in the electrical installation industry.
Some Portuguese sectors have been characterised by a widespread move away
from standard, regular and permanent jobs towards temporary forms of
employment, including irregular and casual work, homeworking and certain
forms of self-employment. These developments are the result of an interplay
between macroeconomic conditions, company strategy and labour legislation.
However, pressure is mounting amongst the social partners to counter further
fragmentation of standard employment statuses.
The Institute for Economics and Social Science (Wirtschafts- und
Sozialwissenschaftliches Institut, WSI) has recently published its annual
examination of the previous collective bargaining round. It paints a rather
mixed picture of 1996, a year in which collective bargaining was overshadowed
by continuing relatively poor economic performance and a further increase in
unemployment. GDP grew by only 1.4% over the year, while at the end of the
year more than 4 million people were officially registered as unemployed.
Late in 1996, Parliament passed legislation providing for changes in the
Employment Security Act that aroused the anger of the trade unions. Although
most of the new provisions apply from 1 January 1997, the most controversial
modification, in Section 2 of the Act, will not come into force until 1 July.
This will give trade unions and employers more time to adapt to the new rule
in the legislation which deals with the level of central bargaining and
collective agreements.
In January 1997, the cement company, Blue Circle (BCC), and two of Britain's
largest trade unions, the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU) and the
General Municipal and Boilermakers Union (GMB), agreed what has been
described as a "ground breaking" deal which gives a guarantee of job
security, in return for pay restraint and more flexible working arrangements.
Both the unions and the Labour Party see the agreement as a model for future
employee relations, which could go some way towards reviving the fortunes of
the British economy.
In recent years pressure has mounted on all parties involved to rethink and
revise the traditional policies and practices of Greek industrial relations
as well as to promote social dialogue between employers and employees. As a
result of changing conditions, some believe that a new era in industrial
relations and social dialogue has been inaugurated in Greece.
For the first time since 1960, the Belgian social partners have failed to
reach an intersectoral pay agreement and have instead accepted government
imposition of measures on employment and maximum pay increases. This
development runs counter to all traditions of free collective bargaining and
the autonomy of both sides of industry. It also appears to reinforce the
trend towards sector-level bargaining, away from intersectoral or
central-level bargaining, thereby widening the disparities between strong and
weak sectors.
The issue of wage flexibility as a means of promoting employment growth was
initially put forward by the ex-president of Confindustria (the most
important Italian employers' association), Luigi Abete, as a problem which
had not been adequately dealt with in the 1993 income policy agreement. CISL,
one of the three main trade union confederations, later took up the wage
flexibility issue and proposed flexibility in starting wages (the so-called
"entrance salary") as a means of tackling the extremely serious employment
crisis in some southern regions of Italy.
Eurofound's work on COVID-19 examines the far-reaching socioeconomic implications of the pandemic across Europe as they continue to impact living and working conditions. A key element of the research is the e-survey, launched in April 2020, with five rounds completed at different stages during 2020, 2021 and 2022. This is complemented by the inclusion of research into the ongoing effects of the pandemic in much of Eurofound's other areas of work.
Sectoral social dialogue
Eurofound's representativeness studies are designed to allow the European Commission to identify the 'management and labour' whom it must consult under article 154 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). This series consists of studies of the representativeness of employer and worker organisations in various sectors.
Minimum wages in the EU
This series reports on developments in minimum wage rates across the EU, including how they are set and how they have developed over time in nominal and real terms. The series explores where there are statutory minimum wages or collectively agreed minimum wages in the Member States, as well as minimum wage coverage rates by gender.
European Working Conditions Surveys
The European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) launched in 1990 and is carried out every five years, with the latest edition in 2015. It provides an overview of trends in working conditions and quality of employment for the last 30 years. It covers issues such as employment status, working time duration and organisation, work organisation, learning and training, physical and psychosocial risk factors, health and safety, work–life balance, worker participation, earnings and financial security, work and health, and most recently also the future of work.
European Restructuring Monitor
The European Restructuring Monitor has reported on the employment impact of large-scale business restructuring since 2002. This series includes its restructuring-related databases (events, support instruments and legislation) as well as case studies and publications.
Challenges and prospects in the EU
Eurofound's Flagship report series 'Challenges and prospects in the EU' comprise research reports that contain the key results of multiannual research activities and incorporate findings from different related research projects. Flagship reports are the major output of each of Eurofound's strategic areas of intervention and have as their objective to contribute to current policy debates.
European Company Survey 2019
Eurofound's European Company Survey (ECS) maps and analyses company policies and practices which can have an impact on smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, as well as the development of social dialogue in companies. This series consists of outputs from the ECS 2019, the fourth edition of the survey. The survey was first carried out in 2004–2005 as the European Survey on Working Time and Work-Life Balance.
National social partners and policymaking
This series reports on and updates latest information on the involvement of national social partners in policymaking. The series analyses the involvement of national social partners in the implementation of policy reforms within the framework of social dialogue practices, including their involvement in elaborating the National Reform Programmes (NRPs).
New forms of employment
This series reports on the new forms of employment emerging across Europe that are driven by societal, economic and technological developments and are different from traditional standard or non-standard employment in a number of ways. This series explores what characterises these new employment forms and what implications they have for working conditions and the labour market.
European Company Surveys
The European Company Survey (ECS) is carried out every four to five years since its inception in 2004–2005, with the latest edition in 2019. The survey is designed to provide information on workplace practices to develop and evaluate socioeconomic policy in the EU. It covers issues around work organisation, working time arrangements and work–life balance, flexibility, workplace innovation, employee involvement, human resource management, social dialogue, and most recently also skills use, skills strategies and digitalisation.
Forthcoming publications
This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the electricity sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements. The aim of this Eurofound study on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the electricity sector in the EU Member States.
This paper provides an analytical summary of state of the art academic and policy literature on the impact of climate change and policies to manage transitions to a carbon neutral economy on employment, working conditions, social dialogue and living conditions. It maps the key empirical findings around the impact of climate change and the green transitions on jobs, sectors, regions and countries in Europe, identifying the opportunities and risks that climate change policies bring to European labour markets.
Maintaining trust during the COVID-19 pandemicForthcoming
Given that compliance with lockdown measures is a first line of defence against COVID-19, maintaining trust in institutions is vital to ensure a coordinated, comprehensive and effective response to the pandemic. This report investigates developments in institutional and interpersonal trust across time, with a particular emphasis on the COVID-19 pandemic period and its impact. It examines the link between trust and discontent and investigates the effect of multidimensional inequalities as a driver of distrust.
The civil aviation sector has been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is one of the most severe crises the sector has ever experienced, giving rise to a number of significant challenges for companies and workers alike. This study will explore the role of social dialogue and collective bargaining in how the sector is adapting to the pandemic. What kinds of changes have been introduced, either through social dialogue or collective bargaining? Are the changes temporary or permanent?
Structural change in the labour marketForthcoming
The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have varied across sectors, occupations and categories of worker (for instance, according to gender, age or employment status). Hours worked have declined the most in sectors such as accommodation services and food and beverage services, and in occupations heavily reliant on in-person interaction, such as sales work. At the same time, it's in these sectors that labour shortages have become increasingly evident as labour markets have begun to normalise.
State of play: Upward convergence in 2022Forthcoming
This policy brief will provide an update on upward convergence in the economic, social and institutional dimensions of the European Union, as outlined in the European Pillar of Social Rights and its accompanying Social Scoreboard.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated inequalities in many dimensions of European societies, including inequalities between women and men in several key domains. This report looks at gender inequalities that existed prior to the COVID-19 crisis and describes in what ways the pandemic has impacted on gender divides. It also analyses the various policy responses of national governments across the EU to address gender divides, and to prevent their widening during the pandemic.
The report provides an overview of the scale of teleworking before and during the COVID-19 crisis and gives an indication of 'teleworkability' across sectors and occupations. Building on previous Eurofound research on remote work, the report investigates the way businesses introduced and supported teleworking during the pandemic, as well as the experience of workers who were working from home during the crisis. The report also looks at developments in regulations related to telework in Member States and provides a review of stakeholders' positions.
The hospital sector has been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitals and their workers are on the frontline in the fight against the virus, and they face a number of significant challenges in terms of resources, work organisation and working conditions. This study will explore the role of social dialogue and collective bargaining in how the sector is adapting to the pandemic. What kinds of changes have been introduced, either through social dialogue or collective bargaining? Are the changes temporary or permanent?
This report analyses the working lives of workers in Europe in 2021, when the continent was still in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines working conditions during that period and the association between job quality and work outcomes such as health and well-being, work–life balance, and financial security. The report also considers how the shifts in working life during the pandemic are likely to affect work in the future.

General Obligation Bond
In the United States, a municipal bond in which the issuing locality pledges to use all revenues at its disposal to pay bondholders, including the raising of property taxes. Should a sufficient number of residents not pay their property taxes that it impacts revenue for bondholders, the terms of the bond legally require the municipality to raise property taxes to make up the shortfall. There are two basic types of general obligation bonds. A limited GO allows for the raising of property taxes up to a certain percentage, while an unlimited GO theoretically allows the municipality to levy taxes of up to 100% of a property's value. Because an unlimited GO provides a great incentive to pay property tax on time, and because many states only allow such a bond to be issued following a vote on the matter, credit ratings agencies usually rate them higher. However, both types of GO are generally rated highly.
To trade, especially at a given price. For example, one may say that a stock "goes" at $10, meaning that one may trade at its current share price of $10.

When Your Child Has Cancer: Dealing With the Diagnosis
Hearing the news that your child has cancer can trigger a range of emotions. It is normal to feel shock, anger, fear, anxiety, and sadness. It is also normal to feel guilt—you may wonder why your child has cancer or if you could have changed the outcome somehow by doing (or not doing) something. Remember that, in many cases, it is difficult for even doctors to determine what caused the cancer. And when cancer affects children, the symptoms are not always clear and can mimic other, more common, childhood illnesses. The most important thing is to focus on what you can do right now to help your child.
Learning About the Diagnosis and Treatment Options
During the diagnosis, your child's doctor may run tests (called staging) to find out the type of cancer, where it is located, whether it has spread, and what body parts are affected. Staging helps determine the treatment plan. During this time, you might want to get a second opinion. If the diagnosis is confirmed, you can get more guidance as to what the next steps should be.
But when you are under extreme stress, it is hard to remember the right questions to ask, not to mention the doctor's responses. What are some steps that you can take to feel more in control? For starters, keep a notebook handy and jot down questions. Take this notebook to appointments. Or use a recorder to capture your concerns and the doctor's remarks. Another option is to have a family member or friend accompany you to appointments. They can offer support, ask questions, and be there to listen.
After the diagnosis, you need to gather as much information as you can about the treatment options. Some important questions include:
- What kind of treatment will it be?
- How long will it take?
- Where will it take place?
- Are there other options?
- Has the hospital or center treated other children with this form of cancer?
- How successful is the treatment?
- Is there an experimental treatment for this type of cancer?
Using a notebook or recorder or talking to a friend can help you absorb the information and give you a chance to review it when you get home.
Talking to Your Child About the Diagnosis
Cancer treatment involves a whole team—doctors, nurses, radiation therapists, rehab specialists, dieticians, social workers, and other professionals. When it comes time for your child to learn about the diagnosis, use this team for support. Also, ask for guidance from family, friends, church members, and support groups. Choosing the right words depends on your child's age and level of understanding. You may opt to tell him or have the doctor explain the diagnosis. Either way, being honest and giving love and support are what will help your child cope.
Just like you, your child will have a range of emotions when dealing with the diagnosis. He may feel scared, worried, or angry. He may start acting differently, for example, an outgoing kid becomes quiet and withdrawn. Share this information with the treatment team. It is important for them to know how your child is doing both physically and emotionally. Depending on your child's age, involve him in the treatment choices. This can help him feel some control over what is happening.
Experiencing Life After the Diagnosis
As hard as it is, life continues after the diagnosis. If your child is feeling well enough, he may still be attending school, playing with friends, and doing household chores. These routines can help your child deal with cancer. When treatment starts, you can adjust his schedule, fitting in time for fun activities when he is feeling less tired.
If you have other children, they also need you to be there for them. Brothers and sisters are also affected by the diagnosis and may be feeling distressed and confused. Meanwhile, they still have school, activities, and friends to keep up with.
And you still have your job and responsibilities at home. How can you manage family life and work when all your energy is focused on your child's cancer? Remember that you do not have to confront this on your own. Here are some strategies to help you cope.
Ways to Help Yourself
- Talk to members of the treatment team. These experienced professionals can offer support and recommend resources in your community. For example, joining a support group can help you share experiences with other parents. Or, if you would prefer one-on-one counseling, ask the treatment team if they can recommend a therapist.
- Learn as much as you can about your child's cancer. This will help empower you. Just remember that childhood cancer and cancer in adulthood are not the same, so be sure to find the right information. The treatment team can recommend articles and books.
- Set aside time, even a half hour, just for you. Do something nice for yourself, like getting a massage or taking a relaxing bath. Spending time meditating or praying can help rejuvenate you.
- It is also important to schedule time for you and your partner to be alone. Plan an enjoyable activity, like going out to dinner, where you can take a break from stress.
- Family and friends want to be involved. Reach out to them. They may volunteer to do household chores, cook meals, run errands, or babysit your other children; take advantage of their offers. If you are getting a lot of phone calls about your child's condition, ask someone to be the "go to" person, providing the call-backs and the updates.
- Is there a new hobby that you are interested in? Since you will be spending time waiting in the hospital, see this as a chance to do something that you find relaxing and enjoyable, like learning to knit or crossword puzzles.
- You still need to take care of the basics. Get plenty of rest, eat healthy foods, drink a lot of water, and exercise. Just being outside can help relieve stress.
Ways to Help Your Kids
These are steps you can take to help your children cope:
For your child with cancer:
- No matter what, friends are still important to your child. Find ways he can spend time with them. If your child is in the hospital, a quick phone call or an email from a friend can make him smile.
- If your child has to stop going to school, ask the treatment team if you should get a home tutor. Also, sharing information with your child's teacher and the school nurse can help them understand the diagnosis and treatment, as well as provide you with more support. Classmates may be curious about your child's condition. Some hospitals have back-to-school programs that educate the entire class about cancer. This can help your child readjust to life at school. Ask the treatment team if this is available.
For all of your children:
- As much as possible, keep the routines and rules that you had before your child became sick. This will help them feel more secure.
- Schedule family meetings where everyone is free to talk about their concerns.
- Explain that whatever they are feeling is normal. Encourage your kids to talk about their feelings.
- Talk openly about cancer; educate your family. Ask older siblings to play a role in treatment. This will help them feel involved and empowered.
- Take time to do something fun with your kids. Everyone needs some relief from stress.
Cancer is a life-changing event that affects the entire family, but also has a ripple affect that touches the lives of friends, classmates, and coworkers. As difficult as getting the diagnosis is, know that there are people who care about you and your child and want to help. The treatment team and organizations, like the American Cancer Society, offer support and resources. Family and friends are also there for you. Reaching out to them can help you accept the diagnosis and focus on treatment.

Why can't I place an order by telephone, letter, or email message?
Due to budget reductions, which eliminated most of our tax-supported positions related to manufacturing and selling microfilm, we streamlined processes and reduced costs by offering online ordering and payment. We do continue to provide the ability to pay by check but cannot support telephone, mail or email orders.
Why is there a surcharge if I don't pay online with a credit card?
This surcharge covers the additional costs of manually entering your order in the system and handling and processing your check.
How can I contact you? What if I have a problem with my order?
Send email to firstname.lastname@example.com and a staff member will respond as soon as possible.
Can my institution place a standing order to receive new reels as they become available?
If your library wishes to receive microfilm of a particular newspaper or periodical on a regular basis, you can establish a standing order by contacting the staff. Standing orders require a written commitment to purchase reels as they become available for a fixed number of years. When new reels of the titles you selected are ready, they will be added to the sales catalog, you will be sent a notice that they are available, and you can then order them through the Web site in the usual fashion.
I didn't find what I need in the catalog. What should I do?
We may be able to provide microfilm for some items not in the sales catalog. For example, we may own paper copies that have not been microfilmed yet. Because each case is unique, these custom orders vary in price. Because they necessarily require a great deal of staff time to retrieve, collate, photograph, develop, inspect, and print, they are considerably more expensive than routine orders from the sales catalog. Contact our staff for more information on custom orders.
How long will it take to receive my reels?
We typically fill orders in less than a month, but please allow up to 6 weeks for your order to reach you.
Is rush service available?
No. We operate strictly on a first come, first served basis.
What's a Wisconsin Tax Exempt ID # ?
The state of Wisconsin exempts non-profits and some other organizations from paying state sales tax. For more information, see the Department of Revenue form (PDF).
Why do Wisconsin Historical Society members get a 10-percent discount?
Members of the Wisconsin Historical Society support our activities through their dues and donations and receive other benefits such as discounts on purchases. Learn more about how to become a member.
What if charges appear on my credit card before the reels appear at my door?
This can happen with any online merchant if you place an order near the end of a billing cycle. When your microfilm arrives, compare the charges on your bill with the shipment and contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
What should I do if I'm not satisfied with the quality of the images on the film?
Our in-house lab has always embraced ANSI standards for the manufacture of preservation-quality microfilm. These include shooting multiple exposures of problematic pages and inspecting every reel closely for completeness, proper contrast, density, etc. In many cases, original paper pages may have been faded, browned, tightly bound, or damaged, and so may be difficult to read on your microfilm. There is no recourse in such cases: the microfilm copy, despite its flaws, is simply the best copy that survives. If you believe, however, that the positive reel you received is somehow defective and that printing another copy would solve the problem, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Can I make additional copies of this film, digitize it for use on my website, or publish excerpts of it?
Generally speaking, according to U.S. law only the creator of a work possesses the right to make and publish copies of it. That right has lapsed for works created before 1923 and in certain other cases; exceptions to it also exist for purposes that the law calls "fair use." See the explanation provided by the U.S. Copyright Office. As the person purchasing the microfilm, you are the party legally responsible for obeying this law.
What type of microfilm do you supply? Can I purchase other types?
Prices shown are for vesicular copies. We are able to make silver halide copies for an additional fee. Contact the staff at email@example.com if your institution requires silver halide film. These are the only two microfilm products we have available. You may also purchase digital copies of microfilm (image files or searchable PDFs.)
I know the Wisconsin Historical Society microfilmed many census records but I don't find them in the sales catalog. How can I purchase them?
Over the last five decades, our census records have been microfilmed in partnership with a number of different organizations that have negotiated a variety of licensing agreements. Send an email to email@example.com specifying the Wisconsin county, the census year, and the type of schedule you would like to purchase (population, agricultural, mortality, or manufacturing) and we will investigate to see what is available and what conditions may apply to its sale.

Air Leakage Control: The Devil's in the Details
Avoid dread customer callbacks - due to drafty new houses, moisture problems, and high energy bills - by air sealing properly.
Uncontrolled air loss from a building can have a significant impact on occupant comfort, and on what it costs to operate and maintain a building. Typically, air infiltration can account for 25% or more of a home's heat loss. In fact, many callbacks related to comfort, moisture problems, or high fuel bills can be directly traced to air leakage into and out of the conditioned space.While builders routinely provide controlled openings for ventilation and for exhausting the byproducts of combustion, unintended air leakage is undesirable. Proper air sealing can often make the difference between a comfortable house and a cold, drafty house.
The occupants of the home, whose initial concerns are likely to focus on color schemes and finished appearances, may never see many of the leakage sites. Direct penetrations, such as leaky baseboards, windows, receptacles, and band joists, can account for a lot of builder callbacks simply because occupants feel these leaks and are disturbed by them. If it is allowed to penetrate building cavities, moisture-laden interior air may condense on cold surfaces, leading to mold and rot. It's generally bad for business to make your customers uncomfortable, however unintentionally, or to create the perception that you are somehow responsible for their having to shell out much more than they anticipated in energy bills.
For years, a number of conscientious builders here in Pennsylvania, seeking to limit their exposure to the dread customer callback, and driven by various utility company and government incentives, have been incorporating air sealing protocols into their construction processes. However— based on the hundreds of customercomplaint- driven inspections referred to my colleagues and me at the Pennsylvania Housing Resource Center (PHRC) at Penn College by the Department of Community and Economic Development's Housing Standards Division—we may safely conclude that there are many builders who have not.
Fixing Air Leakage Sites
Due to the segmented nature of residential construction, many builders often see truly effective air leakage control work as a challenge.Although they routinely do the more visible types of weatherstripping and caulking, truly comprehensive and integrated air sealing protocols are not considered state of the practice among mainstream builders. One of the difficulties that come into play is the rapid-fire succession of jobs that are done by the various subcontracting trades on the job site. For instance, as soon as the drywall is finished, the carpet is laid and the baseboard is installed, leaving a potentially large (and uncomfortable) perimeter air leak around the exterior wall.
However challenging it may be to get the details of air sealing done properly, it is of critical importance to do so. This article describes some of the most common air leakage problems and explains how to prevent them during construction.They are not necessarily listed in their order of importance but are all fairly significant nonetheless.
Baseboard Blues
Drafts are most commonly felt where the carpet meets the baseboard molding along an exterior wall. The actual penetration occurs at the intersection of the subfloor and the bottom plate. The solution is relatively simple and cheap, as long as it's well timed. Caulk the inside face of the bottom plate to the subfloor before the baseboard and carpet are installed. (This can also be done using spray foam; see "Spray Foams and the Code.") Another option would be to caulk all the sill plates to the subfloor during rough framing.
Recessed Can Lights
According to tests conducted in 1992 by the Mechanical Engineering Department at Penn State University in conjunction with Juno Lighting Corporation, the air leakage path associated with a single recessed can light fixture may account for $5–$30 worth of energy loss per year. The same study went on to conclude that a single unsealed can light may serve as a conduit for the movement of about onethird of a gallon of water daily into a cold attic.Today's upscale tract homes may contain anywhere from 20 to 40 or more recessed can lights. Insulation Contact (IC) -rated Washington State Compliant airtight fixtures are now required by chapter 11 of the International Residential Code (IRC) 2003. These so-called airtight fixtures must restrict measured air leakage to less than 2 CFM of air flow at 75 Pa pressure difference (ASTM E-283 test method). Unfortunately, the cost of an airtight fixture and trim package is generally more than twice that of a conventional fixture.There is an alternative allowed by the code.A builder may opt to fabricate a sealed box of 1/2-inch gypsum board to completely encapsulate the fixture and seal it to the back side of the ceiling wallboard, while maintaining a required clearance of 3 inches from the fixture (IRC 2003 Section N1102.1.11).This may not necessarily be a less expensive alternative to the airtight fixture, considering the labor cost of constructing and installing the boxes. Quality control issues must also be addressed on-site. (For more on recessed can lights, see "A Recessed Can of Worms,"HE Jan/Feb '01, p. 42.)
Dropped Soffits
Dropped soffits form large voids that are usually associated with kitchen cabinet bulkheads or vaulted ceiling details in master bedrooms.These large voids communicate with the wall, floor, or attic framing. At the PHRC,we've viewed numerous thermal defects associated with dropped soffits using infrared imaging. If left unsealed from the house framing, they may serve as huge conduits for air leakage.At the very least, they may provide a large surface on which moisture can condense. Although homeowners may never feel the air leaks associated with dropped soffits, they will notice the mold if enough moisture is present to condense on these potentially cold surfaces, as often occurs in winter.Wherever dropped soffits are incorporated, the builder's goal should be to provide a continuous air barrier between the wall and ceiling framing and the soffit subassembly. In practical terms, that means installing the drywall on the wall and ceiling before attaching the soffit framing. (For more on sealing dropped soffits, see "Chasing Interior Ducts," HE May/June '02, p. 24.)
Tub Enclosures
Tubs and showers are often installed directly against unfinished wall framing intersecting an outside wall. Our observations have shown us that it is also common practice to leave plumbing penetrations that communicate with the floor cavity unsealed. Attach a continuous air barrier, such as polyethylene sheet plastic, to the wall framing extending from the floor to the ceiling before setting the tub. Seal all plumbing penetrations at the floor and ceiling with materials such as caulk, closed-cell foam backer rod, or spray foam.
Fireplace Enclosures
Many of today's fireplace options are nonmasonry inserts served by metal chimneys.They are generally encased by a variety of exterior and interior finishes supported by wood frame assemblies. The construction of these features often leaves large air pathways that communicate directly with open wall and ceiling assemblies. Before Sheetrock is applied, short-circuit these large air pathways with a combination of rigid or flexible materials such as drywall and polyethylene plastic while maintaining required clearance to combustibles as per manufacturer specs. Be sure to caulk or apply spray foam along all seams.This need not be expensive—it can be done with scrap sheet material, sealant, and usually less than an hour of labor.
The Trouble with Ducts
HVAC ducts running through conditioned spaces, such as basements, are seldom a problem. Even if the ducts do leak slightly, the house recovers most of the conditioned air from the duct leak. But where they traverse unconditioned spaces, such as crawlspaces and attics, it is especially critical that ducts be tightly sealed and insulated. If hard ducts pass through framed chases, these chaises must be sealed where they enter an unconditioned space. Sealing attic penetrations of this type is easily accomplished with a variety of air sealing materials prior to insulating the attic. Simply covering a bypass with a fiberglass batt just won't do it.During A/C operation, return leakage may create sufficient negative pressure within a building cavity to draw hot, humid outside air across an A/C coil.This will reduce efficiency and waste energy.Worse yet, the builder will definitely hear about it when an otherwise properly sized system will not cool a customer's house because of an excessive temperature rise across the A/C coil. (For examples of welland not-so-well constructed duct systems and bypass sealing in California, see "New Construction Report Card," HE Jan/Feb '03, p.18, and "New Construction Report Card, Part II," HE Mar/Apr '03, p. 35.)
Band Joists
We found that builders generally do a pretty good job of sealing the mudsill to the foundation through the use of closed-cell foam roll gaskets. However, they often fall short in paying attention to the rest of the perimeter floor framing.The band joist at all stories should be sealed with caulk or foam where it intersects the subfloor, top plate, and bottom plate.When properly overlapped and taped at the seams, commercially available house wrap applied to the exterior of the sheathing may provide a practical and quick alternative.
Windows, Doors, and Some More
The gap between window and door units and the rough framing is an important conduit for air leakage. Before installing the drywall, seal these gaps with foam backer rod or spray foam. Use nonexpanding foams to prevent the expansion of jambs.The final bead of caulk applied around the trim will take care of the rest.When using house wrap, seal it to the inside of the window framing. Dupont manufactures a moldable flashing material called FlexWrap that is designed to be used in conjunction with their Tyvec house wrap to seal from the face to the inside of rough window and door frame openings.
A note about corners: If you "float" exterior sheathing over unframed inside corners and bay details—which is common practice in some areas—be sure to install gaskets or use spray foam to seal the gap between the framing members.Above all, do not use fiberglass batt insulation as an air sealer. This material is designed to retard conductive losses, but it is really nothing more than a glorified air filter when installed in an unsealed building cavity.
Top Plates
Leakage at the top plates adjacent to attics along exterior walls and interior partitions has been very common in new homes we've inspected.The top of the structure is where air sealing will have the greatest benefit, because these are high-velocity leaks. Leakage paths at the top of a structure tend to funnel much more air than leakage paths at the middle of the structure, due to the natural stack effect. Think of a two-story house as a short, fat chimney. Seal the chimney at the top and reduce one of the major opportunities for convective air loss.
Builders should caulk or apply spray foam to all top plate attic wiring and plumbing penetrations, as well as to the joint between the drywall and framing exposed in the attic. If you can spec out the application of a continuous bead of caulk along the inside of all exterior and interior double top plates (and bottom plates) as part of the drywall installation process, so much the better. Once again, the timing of these air sealing processes during construction is important, since it's usually too late once attic insulation is in place.
Other Penetrations
The myriad of other leaks, such as those associated with hatch covers, receptacles, ceiling fans, exhaust fans, central vacuum systems, and so on, can translate into a lot of air loss. The cumulative effect might be comparable to leaving a window open in the family room on Super Bowl Sunday. Most of these leaks may be sealed after drywall is finished. Here are a few examples:
• Seal switch and outlet boxes to the drywall with caulk and install gaskets underneath the cover plates. However, this will probably not be totally effective, since electrical boxes have holes through which wiring must pass. Consider using spray foam to seal the wiring knockouts and other gaps on the inside of the boxes after the rough wiring has been installed. This would be especially beneficial for electrical boxes located on exterior walls.
• Weatherstrip attic hatches.
• Place gaskets around lighting and ceiling fan trims.
• Use exhaust fans equipped with dampers that close when the fan is not operating.
Closing Up
There are many other potential problem areas—too many to mention within the scope of this article (see Figure 1). Here we have discussed only some of the usual suspects and how to treat them.The sheer variety of home design options may lead to many complex framing configurations.Architectural features such as floor systems associated with knee walls, cantilevers, and bonus rooms over tuck-under garages will require creative solutions. The primary goal of the designer and builder is first to define, and then to seal and insulate, the thermal envelope. By definition, the thermal envelope consists of those building components and surfaces that separate conditioned from unconditioned space. Once the builder understands this concept, and understands all the possible causes of air loss, the rest will fall into place.
The major challenge to the builder is not the expense of air sealing. It is how to adjust site management practices to accommodate air sealing operations at various phases of construction. In most cases, the expense of material and labor is minimal.The benefits, on the other hand, will certainly be worthwhile in terms of customer satisfaction and reduced builder callbacks.

Police & Fire: February 6, 2013
Felony warrants
Sault Police report the Tuesday arrest of Ryan L. Nolan, 36, of the Sault on outstanding warrants for nine counts of retaining without consent a financial transaction device and four counts of uttering and publishing.
Nolan was arrested after his vehicle was stopped near the intersection of Barbeau and Spruce; he was subsequently booked into the Chippewa County Jail.
Domestic assault
City police were called to the 300 block of Carrie Tuesday evening on reports of a possible domestic assault in progress. Upon arrival, police spoke with a woman who said she had been pushed into a wall and struck multiple times in the back of the head.
The woman did not require medical treatment for her injuries.
Denis P. Berube Jr. of the Sault was arrested for domestic assault and booked into the Chippewa County Jail.
Vehicles damaged
Sault Police also report a mishap on W. Portage that left three vehicles with minor damage shortly after 7 a.m. Tuesday.
According to reports, a driver was attempting to free himself from a snowbank when his vehicle shot across the eastbound lane into the path of a westbound vehicle. As a result of the impact the westbound vehicle spun into a third parked at that location.
Damage was in the minor to moderate range and there were no injuries associated with the accident.
Police closed the books on this matter without issuing any citations.

I keep wondering why they don't just beam a photon torpedo into this weapon and detonate it on full yield. According to Reed in The Expanse, a torpedo "can put a three kilometre crater into an asteroid". An explosion that large should blow a sphere a few hundred metres wide to bits!
Well, that space station sure looked familiar didn't it? (It's the Midas array from Voyager.)
Great Moment :
The climax of the episode in the sphere. I liked the fight between Dolim and Archer especially - you just
the big green guy is toast the second he takes Archer on. And you know, in this season the writers have actually turned Archer into a character who you believe
take a guy like this on and win.
Body Count :
At least two Enterprise crewmembers are zapped by the trans-dimensional aliens, fate unknown. 30 - 40 dead on the space station the Reptilians blew up; the entire crew of the Reptilian ship is killed as are several Reptilians and MACOs on the weapon. And Archer kills Dolim most thoroughly.
Factoid :
we get an age for T'Pol - she is 65!
We also get one of the most long-standing questions in all of Star Trek answered - the founding members of the Federation are Humans, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites. The signing of the Federation charter was held on Earth, and the episode confirms that it happened in 2161.
This episode is a nominee for the DITL "
Best of Trek
" award.
Archer, Hoshi, Reed and the MACOs race through the vortex in Degra's ship in a desperate attempt to catch up with Dolim's ship and the weapon it is escorting to Earth. En route, Archer forces the still-injured Hoshi to work on the weapon schematics in order to find a way to destroy it when they finally do reach it.
Back on Enterprise, T'Pol takes the ship to Sphere 41 in order to fulfil Archer's promise to the Aquatics that he will destroy the spheres and so bring an end to the anomalies in the Expanse once and for all. Unfortunately, the Sphere Builders have created a huge super-anomaly around the sphere; Phlox manages to come up with a treatment which will allow the crew to survive inside for ten or fifteen minutes, but this is leaving them very little margin for error. With no other choice, the ship proceeds into the anomaly.
Degra's ship arrives as the weapon heads into firing range of Earth. Dolim has taken a little time out to go blow up a space station full of innocent scientists; they use the distraction to get closer, but Dolim returns. Luckily Shran arrives to lend a hand, and his interference gives Archer a chance to transport his team aboard the weapon. They begin eliminating the Reptilian crew and rigging it for self destruct while Shran and Dolim exchange fire.
The Sphere Builders, meanwhile, are getting a little worried. Their scans of the future timelines indicate that they have less and less chance of success as events unfold. They decide to take direct action; conditions inside the anomaly are sufficient to allow them to survive on board Enterprise, so several of the builders board the ship and begin to interfere with the equipment, draining power from the weapon Trip has rigged to destroy the sphere. Anybody who gets in the way is hit with a huge energy bolt the builders can throw, whilst the crew's own weapons just pass through the aliens harmlessly. The ship is almost out of time and things are looking grim.
Back on the weapon, Archer rigs the power systems according to Hoshi's instructions whilst the firefight goes on around them. Hoshi takes a couple of near misses, but holds it together and does her part. Several MACOs are lost, but finally all the Reptilians are killed. Archer sends Reed and Hoshi back to Degra's ship, staying behind to complete the process of rigging the weapon.
Unfortunately, Dolim beams aboard the weapon. Whilst a triumphant Shran finishes off Dolim's ship, it's time for some mano-a-repto action. Dolim effortlessly pummels Archer as the weapon begins to fall apart around them, but Archer proves too smart for the Xindi and managed to plant an explosive charge under his armour. At the touch of a button Dolim becomes a large red smear on the walls, and Archer sprints for the beam-out point as the weapon explodes.
Back in the Expanse, Phlox comes up with a way to modify the weapons to affect the Sphere Builders and they are driven back. With their time all gone, Trip demands one last second for his weapon - and the gigantic sphere collapses in on itself. A massive bolt of energy leaps through space, obliterating the next sphere - and sending a new bolt on to the next, and so on. The super-anomaly vanishes, killing all the Sphere Builders on the ship instantly.
Degra's ship returns with news of a bittersweet victory. The weapon is gone forever and there's no way the Xindi will ever build another, but Archer failed to make the beam out point and is presumed lost. The saddened crew hitch a ride home in an Aquatic ship, and a shuttle heads down for Starfleet. Amazingly, they find themselves under attack by some World War II vintage fighters!
Meanwhile, half a world away, a badly injured Archer lies in a German army hospital whilst an alien in a Nazi uniform looms menacingly above him…
It's very difficult to separate this episode out from the ones that come before it; really the last three episodes of the season could be cut together to make a feature length episode (and no doubt that will indeed happen at some point for a special edition DVD release).
Zero Hour is, without question, the best "action" episode that Enterprise has ever done and one of the better ones that any Star Trek has ever done. Which is not to say that it's a perfect episode; there are way too many "happy accidents" for one thing. "We can't go into the anomaly!" - "well here's this medicine, we can now!" - "But ten minutes isn't enough..." - "okay, I'll change it to make it fifteen!" - "our weapons don't affect the sphere builders" - "well okay, just set them to this frequency!" - "We're no match for Dolim's ship" - "Here I come to save the DAAAAY! Shran and friends are on the WAAAAY!"
There's also the question or originality. Many have commented that there are more than a few parallels to Star Wars going on here, and I have to agree with that. But like I said in my "Vanishing Point" review, it's not so much an issue of whether you recycle but how well you do it. And whilst recycling from somebody
franchise is rather more of a no-no than recycling from your own, as far as I'm concerned Zero Hour does indeed succeed in putting enough of a new and interesting spin on things that the similarities don't really jump out and smack you in the face.
In terms of how it engaged me, Zero Hour did better than any Enterprise episode ever. When Dolim turned up and started his big fight with Archer I was actually cheering. "This guy is so,
dead!" I shouted. It didn't matter that Dolim is six inches taller and five times stronger; he could have been fifty feet tall, you just
he's a dead man the second he takes Archer on.
And that is a measure of one of the best things about this last year of Enterprise. Many times before I've whined about Archer getting beaten up by every passing girl-scout that fancies a go. He was undoubtedly the weakest Star Trek captain ever - even the almost 70 year old Picard could take Klingons on in hand to hand combat and have a good chance of winning, but not so Archer. But season 3 saw a New and Improved Archer, and by the time Dolim took him on you could actually
that Archer was going to find a way to win. And so he did, in a clever and amusing way (you aren't amused by seeing bad guys blown into little itty bitty bits? Well, I am!)
The battle with the Sphere Builders was a little less interesting; I have to say this wasn't staged all that well. In particular, once the Starfleet weapons were re-tuned, they didn't actually seem to do anything to the aliens; they just looked a little worried and slowly backed away whilst being shot, which looked odd and not especially effective. But the death of the spheres themselves were amazingly well done, and I loved it.
And now, here we go… the ending.
When we heard that Archer was dead, my first thought was that Daniels would have saved him and he would be returned, perhaps setting some temporal cold war arc into motion. By the ending, they really, really had me on the edge of believing that Archer was going to stay dead. And then... well to be honest I don't even want to write it, because "he wakes up in a Nazi hospital with an alien SS officer standing over him" is just such a stupid thing to write that I'm not sure I can make my fingers do it.
On one level, you can't fully judge this ending because we don't know where they are going with it. For all we know Daniels
save Archer, and this
the start of some new Temporal Cold War arc. Or maybe it's something completely different. Maybe it will turn out well, maybe not. Okay, probably not, but you've got to have a
However, it's a poor argument to say "hey, wait, you never know, this just possibly might not suck after all!" - the fact is that this ending, as things stand right now, does suck, and suck like a warp-driven vacuum cleaner. It's a measure of how much it sucked that after a bloody good, exciting hour of action, virtually
the discussion of the episode that I saw afterwards was centred purely on how awful the ending was. As far as I am concerned, "they woke up and found themselves facing alien Nazis" is about on a par with Vanishing Point's "and then she woke up on the transporter platform and it was all a dream".
And yet. It
only a few minutes of suckiness out of 45. Enterprise
a series where time travel and powerful people meddling with the past is a normal part of life. Within the parameters that the show has established, this twist
reasonable. So, weighing all that up, I deduct one shield from the episode for this bit of silliness. The report card reads "Good overall effort, but could do better. Four out of five."

I was attacked a week ago coming off of work by people trying to get RX from me. After telling them I don't write RX and am not an MD they proceeded to beat me, leaving me with 4 cracked ribs fractured jaw and torn meniscus and cracked patella. I tried to lay down and meditate but with norcos they gave me I was so out of it and I kept thinking I was having all these sattori experiences and I was in Kensho. I decided to use the time to try sewing practice and it has had a real positive effect. I am working on a Rakusu and then hope to try a Kesa to replace my 15 year old worn chan kesa. Through this practice I have begun to empathize with Dogens thoughts on the kesa. Each stitch showing when I am mindful and when I am not and the pattern itself linking me with others in this chain of transmission back to the Buddha. I will try and post more when I am feeling better.
Cheers and Gasho,

Mich. DNR seeks summer campground hosts for Lime Island
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is currently recruiting outdoor recreation enthusiasts looking for a unique opportunity to challenge their skills. The DNR is seeking volunteer campground hosts for its Lime Island State Recreation Area. The 980-acre island, one of the newest recreation areas in Michigan's state park system, is situated in the St. Mary's River Navigation Channel offshore of the eastern end of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The island offers rental cabins, platform tent sites, a small harbor of refuge, historical structures and boating access. Hosts for Lime Island must use their own boat to travel to and from the island.
Hosts are expected to provide 30 hours of service per week (including weekends and holidays) and are required to live on the island a minimum of four consecutive weeks at a time during the summer season, which runs between the end of May and early September.
Lime Island hosts greet arriving visitors and answer questions about the island that once housed a small settlement. In addition, they are required to arrange campground activities and possibly perform some light maintenance.
Hosts must be at least 18 years old and can apply individually or as couples.
For more information about serving as a host at Lime Island State Recreation Area, contact Straits State Park, (906) 643-8620, or Miguel Rodriguez, (517) 241-4129.
