Greetings,
Quotaholics:
My
family has been lucky over the years. We’ve never had an emergency that
required us to call 911.
I have called a few times though. Once to report that our neighbors
truck was being broken into. A few times to report traffic accidents.
Before the 911 system came into existence people called the operator who
had to transfer the call to the proper authorities. This, of course, resulted
in delay and there was no way to determine where the call was coming from
if the caller was unable to give an address.
Nowadays if you are calling from a "land line" phone your address
is displayed to the 911 operator. The operator has direct access to all
emergency services and can contact the ones nearest your location.
Access to the service is deemed so important that a cell phone will allow
calls to 911 even if you have not payed for service and if you have service,
no minutes are charged.
So I was shocked to read an article on the website of California’s CBS
13 explaining how residents of Tracy, California will now have to
pay for every call to 911. And I don’t mean "pay" as in a couple
of bucks, we’re talking $300(198.26 GBP)!
"But there are a couple of options. Residents can pay a $48 (31.72
GBP) voluntary fee for the year which allows them to call 9-1-1 as many
times as necessary."
"Or, there’s the option of not signing up for the annual fee. Instead,
they will be charged $300 if they make a call for help."
It may just be me, but I would think most people would say "I can’t
afford $48 so I’ll risk not paying." Then in case of a real emergency,
one involving your family, $300 would seem like a small price to pay.
But what happens when you see someone else in trouble?? Is it worth $300
for you to call in a traffic accident for strangers? Is it worth $300
for you to call about a suspicious character in your neighborhood? Is
it worth $300 just because you think you heard someone scream?
I contend that for most people the answer to those questions might be
no. So how many deaths will be directly attributed to this new fee?
Isn’t 911 too important to society to limit it’s use in any way? Don’t
you want to know that your neighbor would have no reason to hesitate in
calling if you or your family were in danger? If you or your child were
in a dangerous situation don’t you want anyone and everyone to be able
to call for help? If someone saw your car leave the roadway can you risk
them not being able to afford to call for help?
Stupefied,

Faith
[Thanks Sied]
An Iowa minister
is in a flood. The river is overflowing, and water water surrounds
the church up to the front porch. As he is standing at the top of
the steps, a boat comes up. The man in the boat says “Jump in, Padre,
we’ll take you to safety.”
The minster says, “Bless you but no, I put my trust in God. God will
provide for me.” The boat goes away.
The water rises to the second floor. The minister is looking out a
window just above the water line. A larger boat comes up, and a man
on the boat bellows through a bull horn, “C’mon, Padre! Before it’s
too late! We’ll get you out of here.”
“No, thanks. My faith is in God. God will provide for me.” The boat
goes away.
Now the whole church is submerged with only the roof above the water
line. As The minister stands on the roof, a helicopter flies overhead
and drops a rope ladder. “Climb up, Padre! This is your last chance!”
“No thank you. I have faith. God will provide for me.”
The helicopter flies away.
The water continues to rise. It sweeps the minister off the roof and
he drowns.
In heaven, God says to him, “What are you doing here?”
“I put my trust in You and You let me down.”
“What do you mean, I let you down?!? I sent you two boats and a chopper!!!”

Lucille
had a comedic take on Friday’s article. Here’s your 15 minutes Lucille.
Yes, But There’s A One In A 20 Million Chance A Plane Could Have Crashed!
Have you ever noticed how mad some people get over nothing? I mean, it
isn’t like earthquakes hurricanes and tsunamis don’t give us enough to
consider. It is like we have to find things to get sore about.
The recent flack about the flight controller who let his kids talk to
pilots over the radio is a good example of what I mean. There was no indication
that Dad had gone any where while his kids were at the mike:
Pilot: "Flight 1000 to tower: What’s that big thing in front of me?"
Child: "Tower to Flight 1000: I dunno. It sure makes this pretty
screen light up."
Pilot: Flight 1000 to tower: Where’s your Dad?"
Child: "Tower to Flight 1000: I dunno’. I heard him say something
about the burritos we had for dinner last night. He told me to watch things
until he gets back. WOW! It’s just like the Fourth Of July! Look at the
pretty fire!"
Father: "So, Princess, did anything interesting happen while I was
gone?"
As I understand the situation, all the kids were doing were repeating
what their dad said to say. The pilots thought it was cute. If there had
been an emergency, Dad would have been right there, and no time would
have been lost in giving instructions.
Now the guy might lose his job because some government idiot is having
a self righteous attack.There is a breath of sanity in all of this. According
to a UPI report, the pilots are on the controller’s side, and are getting
behind him. They are posting their displeasure on the Internet, and using
the same sign off the kids used when they were at the mike. JFK
Pilots Rally Around Controller
It gives me faith in humanity that the people who would have had the biggest
complaint have the guts not to paint themselves as victims. The pilots
knew they were in no danger, and had sense enough to stick up for their
colleague. Even if there was a problem, and the rules should have been
followed more scrupulously, it occurs to me that the following conversation
might have kept it off the national air waves:
Boss: "Your kids shouldn’t be on the mike when you’re at work. It
could create bad press if anything went wrong. I hope you’ll never do
that again."
Air Controller: "I won’t."

Geocaching Difficulty Factors
Not only are there different sizes and kinds of caches which makes it
a challenge already, caches are rated on their difficulty factors. There
are two aspects of rating difficulty. There is the terrain rating and
the hide difficulty rating. They are self-evaluated ratings given by
the cache owner. Although the cache owner sets the ratings, finders
of the cache will comment vigorously if they feel the ratings are not
accurate to the hide. The owner has the right, and the ability, to adjust
the rating value at any time.
Both factors are rated on a "Five Point" scale. "One"
is the easiest. "Five" is the most difficult. The scale is
divided into 1/2 point increments.
Terrain reflects the exertion needed to get to the cache. "One"
is a handicapped accessible cache where wheelchairs, walkers, crutches,
or other assistive devices have access. A considerable hike on a trail
or bike path may only rate a "2". A substantial hike on a
hilly trail may rate a "3". If a tree or some thing has to
be climbed, it may rate a "3.5" or a "4" or higher,
depending on the challenge encountered. If some sort of equipment is
needed to accomplish the find, such as rappelling gear, scuba equipment,
etc., it rates a "5" automatically. Some mountainous terrain
and deserts will also rate a "5" simply due to the danger
factor involved.
The hide difficulty is subjective. The hider makes a determination as
to how hard it will be to actually discover the cache once the cacher
gets to GZ (Ground Zero - where the GPS shows they are at the cache).
Also using the same scale, incremented in 1/2 points, a "1"
is something like a 35mm film canister hidden under the skirt of a parking
lot light pole. There is nothing nearby that will hide it other than
the one pole within 75 feet of GZ, for example. Although most caches
are camouflaged in some form, the more difficult ones may be a hollowed
out limb with a log inside that is placed on a smaller stub of a limb
of a similar bush or tree. It looks SO natural that it is extremely
difficult to identify. These usually rate a "5" as they are
so well hidden it takes a keen eye, a sensitive touch, and a lot of
patience to find.
Where they are hidden also factors in. For example, a hollow pine cone
hung on an uppermost branch of a pine tree will garner a high rating
in both, terrain and difficulty. A 35mm container in the same setting
would get the same terrain rating, but the difficulty rating would be
much lower. Although an ammo box is a right sizable container, it can
be well hidden in the right setting. Most caches are covered with debris
limbs or bark to hide them. To a geocacher, this is a telltale marker.
To a casual hiker, it totally goes unnoticed as it blends into the background.
But, if this "geopile" is back in the woods in the thick underbrush,
it can be hard to see even for the most seasoned geocacher, thus garnering
a higher value difficulty factor.
These ratings serve the finder with notice that what they seek may be
easy, or quite difficult to find. For some cachers, the higher the rating,
the more attractive the cache. There are some that will do only caches
rated 3.5 or above. They aren’t interested in quantity. They are interested
in quality.
Here’s your quiz:
With foreknowledge that a cache is going to be difficult, would that
attract you to it, or make you think twice about seeking it?
Would you try to find a cache that appeared to be back in the woods
off the trail?
Are you a "quantity" or a "quality" aficionado?

Because!

"Researchers
have discovered that chocolate produces some of the same reactions
in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities
between the two but can’t remember what they are."
~ Matt Lauer ~
When my son George
was about eleven months old, the police unexpectedly showed up at
our door. A pair of police officers knocked, and it wasn’t the kind
of knock that says, "Please could we come in a talk to you, and
maybe have a nice cup of tea". It was the kind of knock that
says, "Open up or we will break the door down, trash your house,
and clunk your heads together". As we were letting the policemen
in, we saw sirens outside the window, and a couple of firemen came
in. Since we had only been enjoying a nice quiet family Sunday morning,
we were more than a little mystified. The policemen said that they
were there in response to a 911 call, which we found intriguing, since
no-one had used the phone all morning.
We didn’t
have to look far to see what had happened. George, who was lying quietly
in the stroller, had taken the phone from the table next to him and
coincidentally pressed the right combination of buttons to summon
all of the emergency services. The policemen and the firemen were
very nice about the whole thing. They used their walkie-talkie things
to cancel the ambulance that was apparently on its way, and they made
a joke about this being George’s first and hopefully only run-in with
the law. They even posed with George for a picture.
This story
is not really unique. I’m sure thousands of babies have accidentally
called 911, and the outcome is probably similar every time. The cops
recognize that kids are sometimes kids, and as long as the accidental
911 call is just a one-off event, no-one gets too bent of shape over
it. One Vancouver father, however, is probably bitterly regretful
of the fact that he allowed his baby to play with the phone. The baby,
also eleven months old, accidentally called 911.
The emergency
services duly responded and showed up at the scene of what did turn
out to be a crime. When they knocked on the door, however, no-one
answered. After several knocks were ignored, they did what cops have
to do in such circumstances: they forcibly entered the home. The resident
- a man of twenty-nine - was extremely surprised to see the police
there. He denied having called 911, and the police, apparently having
encountered situations like mine, suggested that a child could have
made the call. The sight of the baby boy playing with the phone confirmed
this.
Because
the police are required to inspect the premises during the course
of a 911 call, regardless of whether there appears to be any danger,
they took a look around the man’s home. What they found was a marijuana
grow operation comprising five hundred plants. The man was taken into
custody and charged with mischief and production of a controlled substance.
The boy was released to his mother, who does not live in the home.
Police are reasonably confident that she had no idea what was going
on there.
This story
has prompted a number of reactions about whether marijuana is really
that bad. This has been the subject of many discussions in RGQ. While
I do not agree with an outright ban of it, I am somewhat disturbed
by comments I frequently hear implying that marijuana is not only
completely harmless, but is in fact good for you. My one and only
experience with marijuana was a very bad one. I experienced a wide
range of very scary physical symptoms. Since the other people who
smoked the same joint were unaffected, the argument that the weed
was of poor quality doesn’t really hold water. I just have a complete
inability to tolerate marijuana. I know one person who had a number
of psychotic episodes triggered by a single use of marijuana. A friend
of mine who is a psychiatrist has done some research on this topic.
She says that while the psychotic reactions are fairly rare, they
happen frequently enough to be given a statistically significant measure.
There are documented cases of weed affecting people’s driving in the
same way alcohol does.
I have absolutely
no problem with people using marijuana, but I believe that there needs
to be some sense of responsibility about it. It should be used with
the same caution as alcohol, and people should not just assume that
it’s completely harmless. Not everyone can tolerate it, and it affects
different people in different ways. We need to do what makes sense
for our own bodies.
I would
also venture to say that it’s probably not a good idea to run a weed
grow-op in a place where there is a baby capable of calling 911. If
that baby gets hold of a cigarette lighter - watch out!
Kaleidoscopically
yours,
Kirsten

Re: Kids In The Control Tower
As a pilot, I do find it
objectionable to have a kid subbing for a real ATC controller.
Would you want a surgeon to have her kid cut you?
Would you want a cop to hand his gun to a kid?
Would you want a pilot to have his kid fly the plane? on a dark and
snowy night approach over water to Logan airport?
ATC controllers are doing a "life and death" job. There
is absolutely no place for a child in that environment…. particularly
in NY Center area! The work there is so busy and stressful that the
FAA rotates controllers out after one year of service in that location
so they don’t get too badly burned out. Concentration and focus on
the job at hand are paramount. Anything less than 100% attention to
the job endangers lots of other people. - Niteowl
Mike wrote, "Is
this a case of people getting really bent out of shape over something
that wasn’t that bad? Do you see this as a dangerous situation or
a typical ‘take your kid to work’ act? Do you think a suspension was
called for here? Should the controller lose his job?"
The
job of air traffic controller is one of the most difficult in the
world. It demands constant attention and focus. Lose focus for a minute
or two and hundreds of people die. Having a child in the tower is
such a serious safety violation that the supervisor should have been
fired if he were there, and everyone else in the tower reprimanded
for not demanding the child be removed. - Ray In Port Washington,
WI
The case of the kid on the
radio instructing aircraft loaded with people gave me shivers! Considering
the fact that being an aircraft controller is about as high on the
safety list of jobs as one can get, that hundreds of people are aboard
each plane, that there has been far too many stupid things happen
in air traffic control towers during take offs and landings, the kid
should never have been there! Obviously, Dad should not have allowed
a kid to take over the mike. Also obviously, the pilots knew the kid
was in the control room. Everything was "routine", but was
anyone paying any attention to some small private plane taxiing toward
a runway while the controllers were focused on the kid? You can hear
the grins on the tape.
A friend of mine works at a place where one day a year workers can
bring their children to work. The kids are collected together and
as a group, introduced to all the kinds of jobs done in that plant
and office. In advance, one worker in each area is prepared (ahead
of time) to explain what that job is about and how it is done, and
answer questions those curious young minds come up with. At no time
is any child ever encouraged to try doing the job. Some jobs are far
to important to allow distraction of any kind to interfere with safety,
quality, knowledge, security… Imagine a Surgeon taking a child into
the Operating Room or the nuclear power plant operator allowing a
kid to touch a single thing in that control room. Kids touch things.
They turn knobs. They push buttons. They usually have little idea
about consequences if an action causes a reaction. It’s more likely
to be ‘wonder what this thing does’ in the kid’s mind, and they are
more likely to DO it than ask about it. - Nancy L in Ohio
I don’t know this
for a fact, but one news report said the two men left the room for
a short period of time and that is why there is such an uproar. Officials,
rightly so, in my opinion, said that anything could have gone wrong
and the child would not have been able to direct the pilots on what
to do. - Mare in Mare-land
I too followed this story
with interest. I am in favor of bringing your child to work. Each
of my children have been to my office several times over. The values
that a day experiencing what your parent does for a living brings
to kids and the message it sends to them about being a constructive
part of society is very strong. A day at "work" can be a
very good learning experience about real life and possible future.
That message is lost somehow today on very many children. I also would
never knowingly put my child or someone else in danger or at risk.
Fortunately I work in an office so this never is an issue, unless
you count the paperclip chain moat around my desk that keeps out General
Pushpin. That being said some jobs should not be experienced first
hand - bomb squad comes to mind. I do agree that air traffic controller
is a potential job for that list, but there are degrees at which you
engage your child in the job. I don’t let my children answer my customer
phone calls, sign the paychecks, handle the problems (people) of my
work, run presses in the shop or drive the fork truck. I am sure that
this father would not let his child be the determining factor in a
planes safe flight. Shifting through the facts that I have been given
from the news, I don’t think the father put anyone in danger or made
the flight unsafe as was suggested. Maybe he should have asked before
he brought his child in. Maybe it is against his companies policies.
That is a matter between him and his employer, but he does not deserve
the smear campaign the news is serving him.
It seems to me some of the
"news" outlets are hyping a story for the benefit of selling
a story. Several of the articles I read on line and heard on TV or
radio - omitted certain details to make it seem like the child was
acting on their own. Especially at the beginning of the article. Some
buried the details of the father supervising and telling the child
what to say and when at the end of the article, but still worded things
to show the father unfavorably. Many headlines were worded to lead
you to believe the child directed flights solo without anyone nearby.
Most of the comments used were all very derogatory towards the father.
This is not unbiased reporting. This is sensationalizing an event
to make it a bigger story. Why? Shock value sells. Its what made me
click on the article. But I felt let down after reading it. My initial
thought was, big deal, what is with all the hype? A father brought
his child to work and let them feel they were doing a part of the
job by letting them talk to a pilot. I myself would not have a problem
being on that plane and knowing the air traffic control let his child
read a few routine messages to my pilot. If that was all it took to
danger the flight then maybe flying is not as safe as the industry
would have us believe or that companies training really needs some
improvement? Someone call OSHA.
Not only that but many articles
often left out details (on purpose in my opinion) that I would want
to know to decided if I thought there truly was an unprofessional
or unsafe "incident". Was the child 3 years old and needing
constant supervising that distracted the father’s attention from his
job or did the child run wild truly causing a distraction. Or was
it an older mature child who could conduct themselves responsibly
in a serious situation so the father felt assured he would not be
distract or put lives in danger. Was the child there all day to reek
havoc or for that 5 minute exchange? I believe if they had any negative
details they would have put them in the story, but they left out the
common sense parts so the story would have the shock value they wanted
to sell. My second thought is if the "press" can do this
with a simple non-issue story then what are they doing with the real
important stories? - Dana
OK, I usually just
lurk in the background now a days, but I must comment on this. Hell
Yes he should be suspended. Air traffic controll is one of the most
stressful jobs out there. It demands constant full attention.
If his attention laspes for a moment there could be a potential disaster.
Airports are busier and busier, with literal Traffic Jams in the sky.
Each and every craft depends on these people to keep them in a safe
location among the the other crafts. (in 3-d I might add) I can’t
believe anyone would consider this safe. I suspect those same people
would want their surgeon to bring his children to work. I relate the
two because these men and women have lives hanging in the balance
of their work.
Did you really think this through? Or was this a gut reaction to the
fact that nothing bad actually happened. Would you think differenty
if there had been a collision, with this as a factor.

Re:
Laptop Cameras
Patti, I have been swamped
at work lately, so no time to reply to everything you have said about
kids and computers/cellphones. I am making some time today.
I
have no kids, but my boyfriend has two, and I have spoken before about
my nieces and nephews. Both my brother and boyfriend are divorced.
Both have given their kids cellphones… with strict rules in place.
Both because they want an immediate way for their kids to contact
them.
My boyfriend actually agreed with you for the longest… right up
until the ex ran off with the kids and it took six months to locate
them. (Got to love an archaic custody system that lets her keep custody
even now.) The first thing he gave them when he saw them again was
the cell phone.
My brother’s kids are even younger, but after their school did some
stupid stuff (allowing some other children to leave with non-custodial
adults, etc.) he decided to give the oldest one a cell for her 10th
birthday.
So, what good would these cellphones do the kids if they were not
allowed to carry them to the one place they spend the bulk of their
time every day, and where an emergency is most likely to occur?
There is always so much talk about how it is "the parent’s job"
to do this and "the parent’s responsibility" to do that.
This is a decision for the parents, and the parents’ job to ensure
their kids know and obey the rules.
IF the kids get caught using them to cheat… well, isn’t cheating
against the rules already? Aren’t there punishments outlined for that
already? IF the kids disrupt class… well, isn’t that against the
rules already? Aren’t there punishments outlined for that already?
Why the need to regulate every little variation in possible ways the
break the rules?
The same goes for cellphones and cars - driven by teens or adults.
There are reckless driving rules in place, and those would cover driving
stupidly because you are on the phone, or eating a Big Mac, or fumbling
with the radio, or reading the paper, or putting on make-up, or fighting
with your significant other in the passenger seat about why you are
running late to the movie.
Can we please stop with the rule-making and apply a little common
sense? - Tammy in Alabama
