As an agency, Washington State Patrol (WSP) faces the ongoing challenge of interacting with motorists who do not speak the English language. Spanish speaking motorists make up about half of licensed drivers involved in serious injury, fatal, and felony collisions within the Mid-Columbia Valley (the southeast portion of Washington State). In 2003, the El Protector program was implemented to address the increased concerns of Hispanic/Latino surnamed drivers.
The El Protector program places special emphasis on people with limited English speaking abilities. The bilingual and bicultural program provides public education through dialogue with the Hispanic/Latino community, rather than focusing on specific enforcement measures.
The program officially began on February 20, 2003 at a community meeting held in Burbank, Washington. A variety of Hispanic/Latino community leaders, state and local law enforcement officials, and members of state and national traffic safety organizations were in attendance that evening. WSP led a presentation that included statistics from all fatality and felony collisions in 2003. During the meeting, there was an overwhelming positive response and commitment from attendees to take action on the issue.
To provide Hispanic/Latino community outreach education addressing the leading causes of fatality and serious injury collisions in Washington while building and promoting positive relationships between law enforcement, the community, and our stakeholders.

Today I was replacing the battery of a 750XL, we use at work, I didn't unplug the power, and just hot swapped the battery, however I removed all the load from the UPS, only the Ac was connected, everything was going ok, I unplugged the old battery and plugged the new one,at this moment the panel was on, but while I was closing the cover panel, the UPS shutdown. I tried connecting the old battery back, not luck, unplug and plug back the AC, not luck, push all the buttons for over 10 seconds, not luck, however I noticed that the UPS in someway is giving power since the Network card is powered on, when the UPS in unplugged and the battery is connected (new one/ old one). I also noticed that Overload protector button stays all the way out, instead of 1/4'. I tried to push it in, but of course it doesn't stays in. Please let me know what can I do, why my problem happened, and what does it mean?
Once you reset the UPS, please try to turn it on again. If the issue still persists, please let me know the reason behind replacing the battery and how long this UPS in operation. If you are monitoring the UPS through the software please provide the event and data logs and also let me know the exact model number of the UPS which is on the white bar code label located on the rear of the UPS.
I did the brain test, it didn't do anything, the UPS seems to be "dead" there is no audible sounds or lights at all in the electronic panel. The reason behind replacing the battery was that, it stopped working, well the SNMP message that we got since a while ago said "there is a faulty battery", so that was the reason for replacement.
Is it safe or feasible to use a surge protector in conjunction with a voltage regulator? I have high end PC and monitor and we often have under-voltages and also thunderstorms. Surge protector guards against lightening strikes but a voltage regulator helps with the longevity of sensitive electronic devices. I would rather not get a UPC, so would it be okay to use surge protector with voltage regulator? If so, which one do I plug into the wall outlet and which one should the actual electronic devices be plugged into? Or should the sequence even matter? Thanks.
Since voltage regulators tend to have transformers in them which A. Draw a lot of current when they are first plugged in (IE a "cold start") and B. generate spikes back on the line when they are unplugged/powered off, I'd recommend putting the Surge protector downstream of the Voltage Regulator to protect the surge protector from taking electrical hits which may cause it to be damaged or deteriorate over time.
Battman - Thanks for the reply. I am not an engineer; have spent days trying to get info about purchasing the best surge protection to protect our computers. Last week, one APC tech rep told me that I should not use a surge protector with either the Line-R 1200 or our Back-UPS Pro 1500. Said that the surge protector could interfere with the Line- R or UPS sending a surge back to ground, as they are designed to do. Do you have an opinion on that ? Would love to know what to do - Line-R and UPS surge protection specs not nearly as robust as a dedicated surge protector.
A. A trust instrument may provide for the appointment of a trust protector. For the purposes of this section, a person designated in the instrument with a status or title, other than that of a beneficiary, with powers similar to those specified in subsection B of this section, or designated in the instrument as a trust protector, is a trust protector, except to the extent otherwise provided in the trust instrument.
B. A trust protector appointed by the trust instrument has the powers, delegations and functions conferred on the trust protector by the trust instrument. These powers, delegations and functions may include the following, which do not limit what powers, delegations and functions may be granted to the trust protector:
2. Modify or amend the trust instrument for any valid purpose or reason, including, without limitation, to achieve favorable tax status or to respond to changes in the internal revenue code or state law, or the rulings and regulations under that code or law.
D. Any provision of this title to the contrary, but except to the extent otherwise provided by the trust instrument, a trust protector is not a trustee or fiduciary and is not liable or accountable as a trustee or fiduciary because of an act or omission of the trust protector when performing or failing to perform the duties of a trust protector under the trust instrument. This subsection does not apply to trusts that become irrevocable before January 1, 2009 if the trust instrument allows the settlor to remove and replace the trust protector.

Background: Central Line-Associated BloodStream Infections (CLABSIs) are emerging challenge in Respiratory semi-Intensive Care Units (RICUs). We evaluated efficacy of educational interventions on rate of CLABSIs and effects of port protector as adjuvant tool.
Methods: Study lasted 18 months (9 months of observation and 9 of intervention). We enrolled patients with central venous catheter (CVC): 1) placed during hospitalization in RICU; 2) already placed without signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) within 48 h after the admission; 3) already placed without evidence of microbiologic contamination of blood cultures. During interventional period we randomized patients into two groups: 1) educational intervention (Group 1) and 2) educational intervention plus port protector (Group 2). We focused on CVC-related sepsis as primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were the rate of CVC colonization and CVC contamination.
Results: Eighty seven CVCs were included during observational period. CLABSIs rate was 8.4/1000 [10 sepsis (9 CLABSIs)]. We observed 17 CVC colonizations and 6 contaminations. Forty six CVCs were included during interventional period. CLABSIs rate was 1.4/1000. 21/46 CVCs were included into Group 2, in which no CLABSIs or contaminations were reported, while 2 CVC colonizations were found.
Conclusions: Our study clearly shows that both kinds of interventions significantly reduce the rate of CLABSIs. In particular, the use of port protector combined to educational interventions gave zero CLABSIs rate.
What exactly is the difference between a Trust Protector and a Trustee? A Trustee has a fiduciary duty to follow anything outlined in the trust, while a Trust Protector has the ability to change parts of the trust document that the Trustee may be unable to.
