TIN Policy Directive (11/09/00)
Requires federal payment certifying officials to include a valid TIN on all payment vouchers certified to Treasury for payment, except in certain limited circumstances.
31 CFR Part 212 - Taxpayer Identifying Number Requirement
SUMMARY: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) requires executive agencies to include payee taxpayer identifying numbers (TINs) on certified payment vouchers which are submitted to disbursing officials. The Financial Management Service (FMS), the Department of the Treasury disbursing agency, and other executive branch disbursing
agencies are responsible for examining certified payment vouchers to determine whether such vouchers are in proper form. To ensure that executive branch agencies submit payment certifying vouchers in a form which includes payee TINs, FMS issued a proposed rule on September 2, 1997. The rule, as proposed, would require disbursing officials to
reject payment requests without TINs.
Upon review of the comments received in response to the proposed rule, FMS has determined that a better approach to ensure compliance with the DCIA TIN requirement, in lieu of issuing a final rule, is to require each executive agency to submit a TIN Implementation Report to FMS documenting how the agency is complying with this requirement. Accordingly, FMS is issuing this document withdrawing the September 2, 1997, notice of proposed rulemaking (SEE BELOW). The Policy Statement outlining TIN Implementation Report requirements is being published in the Federal Register concurrently with this document. To view the Policy Statement,

31 CFR Part 212 Taxpayer Identifying Number Requirement (Proposed Rule)
The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA) requires that executive agencies include the taxpayer identifying number (TIN) of each person to whom payment may be made with each payment request submitted to a disbursing official on a certified voucher. This requirement will ensure that TINs of federal payment recipients are available to facilitate debt collection by offset of federal payments under the DCIA, and for vendor income reporting to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as mandated by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC).
Agency Taxpayer Identifying Number Implementation Reports; Policy Statement
SUMMARY: The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 requires that executive agencies include the taxpayer identifying number (TIN) of each payee on certified payment vouchers which are submitted to a disbursing official. The Financial Management Service (FMS), the Department of the Treasury disbursing agency, and other executive branch disbursing agencies are responsible for examining certified payment vouchers to determine whether such vouchers are in the proper form. 31 U.S.C. 3325(a)(2)(A). To ensure that executive branch agencies submit payment certifying vouchers in a form which includes payee TINs, FMS is requiring each executive agency to prepare and submit an agency TIN Implementation Report documenting agency compliance with the TIN requirement. This Policy Statement describes agency TIN Implementation Report requirements.

Argentina: focus on Amigos de la Tierra
Protest against the purchase of land in the Parana Delta for real estate.
Over the years the organization's focus has increasingly been directed towards socio-environmental projects. These projects are often worked on in alliances with local groups from different parts of the country.
"We work on three different levels: strengthening grassroots struggles, educating the general public and raising awareness, and filing legal
actions" says Natalia Salvatico, the coordinator of the water and sustainability campaign.
The group works on four main issues: forests and biodiversity, water and sustainability, climate change and food sovereignty. In 2011 the organization commenced work on a land grabbing project. Land grabbing is the buying or leasing of large pieces of land in developing countries often by transnational companies. The project integrates the issues of soy production, mining and water in Argentina.
Today's big challenge
The land grabbing campaign is what's know in the Friends of the Earth federation as a cross-program project. It incorporates many issues. Firstly, there is a campaign in the Parana Delta, an area of islands and wetlands where the real estate industry aims to build a private estate of nearly 300 hectares called Colony Park. This will cause the displacement of local residents already living on the land. The project will also have a great impact on the region's vulnerable ecosystem.
After two years of struggle, Friends of the Earth Argentina's demands for a public hearing have been granted. This could lead to sanctions or the halting of the project altogether.
Secondly, there is an ongoing legal action against Barrick Gold, a mining corporation that is exploiting the Pascua Lama open-pit gold mine in San Juan province. The company's operations go against the Argentinian Glaciers Act - a law to protect the nation's glaciers - since it is located in the periglacier region. Friends of the Earth Argentina, together with other organizations, have filed a legal action to request the closure of the mine in accordance with the Glaciers Act.
Last but not least, Friends of the Earth Argentina work with La Via Campesina, the international peasant movement, against the advance of soy monoculture plantations in the central part of the country.
The work on soy is of particular importance as Natalia explains:
"Argentina is one of Latin America's worst examples in terms of soy expansion. Half of the cultivable area of Argentina is harvested with GM soy. Soy has high economic yield and it benefits certain social classes that have control over land. This results in the loss of the native forest and other crops. It also means that many communities are losing their food sovereignty."
Food sovereignty is the right of peoples to healthy and culturally
appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable
methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture
"All these campaigns are ongoing. There have been partial victories, but we always need to be on the alert for new dangers. It is important to be in contact with local groups as they are usually the first ones to warn us about what is happening on the ground."
on being a member of an international federation
Natalia Salvatico conducts an interview
Friends of the Earth Argentina became a member of Friends of the Earth International in 1985. Natalia believes being a member enables them to "act globally and have a broad perspective on environmental issues."
The solidarity of the groups in the federation can often have a positive outcome on their work.
"We feel we now have more visibility, because in Argentina and Latin America sometimes your work is not recognised locally unless you are recognised in the [global] north. We need to make campaigns visible beyond our borders. The north-south exchange has proved productive. It involves extra effort but it has good results" concludes Natalia.
Diego Andres, a volunteer for the water campaign, believes the federation represents a new political horizon.
"There are many conflicts that are more than ecological issues, they are cultural conflicts. Being a part of the federation enables us to have a general and global overview of these conflicts. It also enables us to share visions with colleagues from other countries" he says.

about Natalia and Diego
Natalia is the coordinator of the Water and sustainability campaign. She works with Diego on the land grabbing campaign and also collaborates in communications work. She has always been interested in environmental issues and began working for Friends of the Earth Argentina as a volunteer in 2000.
"What I like about Friends of the Earth is the inclusive, assembly-based form of working. These past years have also enabled me to meet people from different places and to do things that would have not been possible without being part of the environmental struggle" she says.
Diego's relationship with Friends of the Earth began with Friends of the Earth Colombia, in his country of origin. There he found "a learning space and a space for social and political commitment."
He currently works as a volunteer for the water campaign and coordinates the land grabbing campaign.
"My participation is motivated by the political construction that can be achieved thanks to the Friends of the Earth Argentina" he says.
"I believe the environmental struggle has to be linked with a cultural change. We need to change our perspective, our way of thinking in order to improve our lives. This is my main motivation" he concludes.

FORTUNE – Recruiters can certainly poke around a job seeker's Facebook or LinkedIn profiles to weed out undesirables, and plenty do. But some companies are finding that using online game techniques to recruit and screen applicants is a more productive, faster route to scouting out stellar hires.
Businesses that at one time might have considered such games a major employee distraction are finding that using competitive, and positive, screening tools can help pinpoint potential hires who may lack the obvious pedigree, but have the skills to succeed. Since young adults often play online games in their everyday lives, they are open to embracing competitive screening approaches
Such "social recruiting" can also expand brand awareness and encourage interest in working at lesser-known companies. People clamber to work for star companies like Facebook, which has posted programming puzzles that have attracted significant participation and has led to some employee hires.
Jockeying for top talent has gotten more intense as companies look for more varied and sophisticated skill sets from candidates, according to a survey by Deloitte Consulting. The survey, which was released last month, found that 25% of corporate human resources professionals were worried about skilled worker shortages, up from 16% last year.
MORE: 'One time, at CEO fantasy band camp'
Even so, companies still hew to traditional resume screening, interviews, and reference checking, tasks that are time consuming and often fail to produce the right match. These conventional methods were not working for Upstream Systems, a mobile marketing firm based in London and San Francisco, which struggled to find global marketing managers with the right mix of analytical, marketing, and technology savvy to work with its clients in 40 countries.

Most weather reports told us this Nor'easter would be bringing wind and rain with the possibility of light flurries overnight...that has certainly not been the case today as snowflakes started falling around 10 a.m. and haven't stopped since.
WXedge reports that "a band of heavy snowfall has stalled over the area" and with added snow throughout the evening, "snowfall will likely total 3 to 6 inches for most of Connecticut, although totals of 7, 8 or even 8+ inches will be possible."

A few months ago, I came across an announcement that Citigroup, the parent company of Citibank, was to be honored, along with its chief executive, Vikram Pandit, for "Advancing the Field of Asset Building in America." This seemed akin to, say, saluting BP for services to the environment or praising Facebook for its commitment to privacy. During the past decade, Citi has become synonymous with financial misjudgment, reckless lending, and gargantuan losses: what might be termed asset denuding rather than asset building. In late 2008, the sprawling firm might well have collapsed but for a government bailout. Even today the U.S. taxpayer is Citigroup's largest shareholder.
The award ceremony took place on September 23rd in Washington, D.C., where the Corporation for Enterprise Development, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to expanding economic opportunities for low-income families and communities, was holding its biennial conference. A ballroom at the Marriott Wardman Park was full of government officials, lawyers, tax experts, and community workers, two of whom were busy at my table lamenting the impact of budget cuts on financial-education programs in Vermont.
Pandit, a slight, bespectacled fifty-three-year-old native of Nagpur, in western India, was seated near the front of the room. Fred Goldberg, a former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service who is now a partner at Skadden, Arps, introduced him to the crowd, pointing out that, over the years, Citi has taken many initiatives designed to encourage entrepreneurship and thrift in impoverished areas, setting up lending programs for mom-and-pop stores, for instance, and establishing savings accounts for the children of low-income families. "When the history is written, Citi will be singled out as one of the pioneers of the asset movement," Goldberg said. "They have demonstrated the capacity, the vision, and the will."
Pandit, who moved to the United States at sixteen, is rarely described as a communitarian. A former investment banker and hedge-fund manager, he sold his investment firm to Citigroup in 2007 for eight hundred million dollars, earning about a hundred and sixty-five million dollars for himself. Eight months later, after Citi announced billions of dollars in writeoffs, Pandit became the company's new C.E.O. He oversaw the company's near collapse in 2008 and its moderate recovery since.
Clearly, this wasn't the occasion for Pandit to dwell on his career, or on the role that Citi's irresponsible actions played in bringing on the subprime-mortgage crisis. (In early 2007, his predecessor, Charles Prince, was widely condemned for commenting, "As long as the music is playing, you've got to get up and dance.") Instead, Pandit talked about how well-functioning banks are essential to any modern society, adding, "As President Obama has said, ultimately there is no dividing line between Wall Street and Main Street. We will rise or we will fall together as one nation." In the past couple of years, he went on, Citi had rededicated itself to "responsible finance." Before he and his colleagues approved any transaction, they now asked themselves three questions: Is it in the best interests of the customer? Is it systemically responsible? And does it create economic value? Pandit indicated that other financial firms were doing the same thing. "Banks have learned how to be banks again," he said.
About an hour later, I spoke with Pandit in a sparsely furnished hotel room. Citi's leaders—from Walter Wriston, in the nineteen-seventies, to John Reed, in the nineteen-eighties, and Sanford Weill, in the late nineteen-nineties—have tended to be formidable and forbidding. Pandit affects a down-to-earth demeanor. He offered me a cup of coffee and insisted that I sit on a comfortable upholstered chair while he perched on a cheap plastic one. I asked him if he saw any irony in Citi being commended for asset building. His eyes widened slightly. "Well," he said, "the award we are receiving is for fifteen years of work. It was work that was pioneered by Citi to get more financial inclusion. And it's part of a broader reform effort we are involved in under the heading of responsible banking."
Since Pandit took over, this effort has involved selling or closing down some of Citi's riskier trading businesses, including the hedge fund that he used to run; splitting off the company's most foul-smelling assets into a separate entity, Citi Holdings; and cutting the pay of some senior executives. For 2009 and 2010, Pandit took an annual salary of one dollar and no bonus. (He didn't, however, give back any of the money from the sale of his hedge fund.) "This is an apprenticeship industry," he said to me. "People learn from the people above them, and they copy the actions of the people above them. If you start from the top by acting responsibly, people will see and learn."
Barely two years after Wall Street's recklessness brought the global economy to the brink of collapse, the sight of a senior Wall Street figure talking about responsible finance may well strike you as suspicious. But on one point Pandit cannot be challenged. Since the promulgation of Hammurabi's Code, in ancient Babylon, no advanced society has survived without banks and bankers. Banks enable people to borrow money, and, today, by operating electronic-transfer systems, they allow commerce to take place without notes and coins changing hands. They also play a critical role in channelling savings into productive investments. When a depositor places money in a savings account or a C.D., the bank lends it out to corporations, small businesses, and families. These days, Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, and others also help corporations and municipalities raise money by issuing stocks, bonds, and other securities on their behalf. The business of issuing securities used to be the exclusive preserve of Wall Street firms, such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, but during the past twenty years many of the dividing lines between ordinary banks and investment banks have vanished.

Dallas scored big on all sides of the ball and pumped some life back into the NFC East race.
Tony Romo threw a pair of touchdowns, Dwayne Harris had a 78-yard punt return TD, andBrandon Carr returned an interception 47 yards for a score to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a 38-23 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
The Cowboys improved to 4-5, and are second in the NFC East, 1½ games behind the New York Giants, who lost to Cincinnati earlier Sunday.
The Eagles (3-6) lost Michael Vick to a concussion after consecutive bruising hits in the second quarter and have lost five straight games under coach Andy Reid for the first time in his 14 seasons.
Nick Foles filled in for Vick and briefly rallied the Eagles until the Cowboys started showing some touchdown versatility. Romo hit Dez Bryant on a 30-yard pass on the final play of the third quarter, and Harris and Carr scored their TDs in the fourth quarter.
The win, and a break in the schedule, could propel the Cowboys back in the thick of the division race. They will play five of their next six games at home, starting Sunday against Cleveland.
The loss could speed up the countdown clock on Vick and Reid's time in Philadelphia.
Foles hit the field in the second quarter and was greeted by a loud ovation from a crowd that had become fed-up with Vick's erratic play.
Vick was knocked on his back by linebacker Ernie Sims on an incomplete pass and was slow to get up. He headed for the locker room and Foles started warming up. Vick, however, may have been injured on the previous play when he was driven from behind head-first into the ground by tackle Jay Ratliff.
Foles, a fan favorite without ever throwing a regular-season pass, looked like an instant hit and woke up a sleepy crowd in the third when he hit Jeremy Maclin for a 44-yard TD and a 14-10 lead. Alex Henery kicked a 40-yard field goal to make it 17-10.
Foles was rolling, the Eagles were scoring, and the good times were back at Lincoln Financial Field.
But in a season unraveling with each bumbling defeat, the Eagles were knocked down to reality.
Romo, who finished 19 of 26 for 209 yards, ended the third with a 30-yard TD pass to Bryant that evened the score at 17-all.
Dallas coach Jason Garrett had insisted the Cowboys weren't desperate after losing four of five. The Cowboys were dominant and had their way in the fourth.
Early in the fourth, Foles had an interception return for a touchdown wiped off the board on a holding penalty. No worries, Dallas. Harris returned a punt 78 yards for score and a 24-17 lead that silenced the crowd.
On the next drive, Foles had an interception returned for a score that counted, this pass intercepted by Carr and returned 47 yards for a touchdown and a 31-17 lead.
That was it for the fans in green, who fled for the exits. Stanley Havili had a 1-yard TD run with 1:55 left but Henery missed the extra point.

Product Information Menu
By absorbing blue light, carotenoids protect delicate photoreceptor cells in the retina's macula from light damage. The density of your macular pigment (composed of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin) is essential to proper vision.8-9 These carotenoids act as antioxidants and protect the macula from damage by photo-initiated oxidative stress.10-12 Unfortunately, this density declines naturally over time. Some aging people also lose their ability to convert lutein into meso-zeaxanthin inside their macula.
Eating lots of lutein- and zeaxanthin-containing vegetables can help maintain the structural integrity of the macula.13-14 However, since meso-zeaxanthin is not part of the typical diet, it cannot be replaced except in supplement form.
This Super Zeaxanthin formula provides clinically proven doses of all three carotenoids to help protect your precious eyesight. It also includes C3G (Cyanidin-3-gluco-side), a cutting-edge berry flavonoid compound that helps to stimulate regeneration of rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a compound in the eyes that absorbs light in the retina. As rhodopsin dramatically declines over time, it leads to a progressive loss of night vision. By helping to maintain rhodopsin, C3G helps to support night vision.

When I learned my mother was experiencing failing eye sight, I sent her a bottle of this stuff to try out, since it helped my own eye sight a little bit.I was totally not expecting it, but my mother had called me back after a 2 month follow up with her optomitrist, and he was startled that her vision had improved so dramatically! The doctor told her based on the results of her latest vision tests that he doesn't need to see her for another year. That is amazing news to me, as she was told that she might need corrective *surgery*.While the product may not work for everyone, it certainly worked for her and for myself (me to a lesser degree, but I am in my late 30s and don't have vision issues - I was trying it to see if night vision improved), so I would highly recommend giving it a shot to those with macular degeneration.

Comments about Life Extension Super Zeaxanthin with Lutein, Meso-Zeaxanthin and C3G, 60 softgels:
I have been using this product for about three years to control development of enlarged blood vessels in my eyes. Not only have they reduced in size, but my eyesight has improved to the point that I no longer have to be about 10-12" from a computer screen to read. Now I am comfortably reading at about 30" from the screen and will have to change to a lesser perscription in my glasses.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good for dry eyes
By SaintDevil
from WA
About Me First Time User
I spend a lot of time in front of a computer all day and tend to get tired dry eyes most of the time. I have used eye drops to help ease the problem but that doesn't really fix it. It just gives it a temporary relief, it's also not good for constant use. This supplements work really well and I have been only taking it for a couple of weeks. It relieved about 80% of dry and burning eye feeling.

I took this product for about a year and then stopped for five months. Can't read as well and have to use my glasses most of my reading time now. When I was taking the pill, this was not the case. I was stunned on occasion when I read some very small print without my glasses. Wished I had never stopped taking it, however, it is never too late to resume. For me, this product works........
Night Driving
By Liz the healthnut

I use this for aging eyes and night driving. Blue and green eyed folks are more sensitive to light. This supplement doesn't solve the problem but eye level near the horizon glare has improved as well as glare during night driving.

I'm so happy and greatful for the beautiful clean carpeting and chairs I now have in my store. The whole place has such a fresh feeling now that these guys have removed the dirt and stains from the carpets. We appreciate the thorough job, friendly service and all the help getting the word out that we are new in town. We know that we can count on this Charlotte Carpet Cleaning for many years of great service and clean carpet.
I can't thank the techs from Charlotte Carpet Cleaning enough for coming out a second time to redo my living room carpet. I really appreciate their great customer service. After a different company I had previously used failed to do that job correctly, the technicians from Charlotte Carpet Cleaning was very kind and patient with my many questions and requests. I have already recommended this company to a few different people!
Excellent service! They came an hour early due to last minute schedule change. I felt perfectly safe leaving these guys alone in my house to finish the job and I was blown away by the results when I arrived home. Didn't think it was possible for the very old carpet in my rental to look this good. Highly recommend the crew at Charlotte Carpet Cleaning!
Just wanted to thank Charlotte Carpet Cleaning for cleaning the carpet in our bedrooms and family room. They look awesome. There were spots & stains that we thought would never come up. Their technicians were able to get them out and even when the carpets dried they were still gone. I was also totally impressed that they move furniture for their clients. The carpets dried quickly after cleaning. Charlotte Carpet Cleaning also offers very reasonable prices!
I recently used Charlotte Carpet Cleaning service although I was skeptical at first. Their team was very courteous, professional and didn't try to overcharge me with unneeded upcharges. They did suggest a deep cleaning of the high traffic area for a small extra charge that was very reasonable. I really appreciated that. The end result of the cleaning was the best I have ever had, much better than the rug doctor I had used in the past. I am very, very happy with the results and will definitely use Charlotte Carpet Cleaning for all my future carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning.
While living in a rental home that had low grade carpet I called Charlotte Carpet Cleaning to come once a month. I'm not sure how they did it but they could make that cheap carpet look spotless. I had several stains that had me convinced that I'd pay for out of my security deposit but thanks to Charlotte Carpet Cleaning I got back every penny! In my opinion Charlotte Carpet Cleaning is the best carpet cleaning company in Charlotte, NC and surrounding areas. They bring their A game every time!
If you are not using Charlotte Carpet Cleaning for your carpet needs, you need to use them soon! We had our four bedrooms and family room cleaned, along with our kitchen tile and grout. We are very pleased with the results and great customer service. If I would have known that the house would look so amazing I would have called Charlotte Carpet Cleaning a long time ago.
Great job!! – I was really upset when I spilled bleach on my carpet. But Seth and Mark to the rescue. They were truly professional. They explained how it might not work and even offered an alternative. I decided to go ahead and you can't even tell that the carpet was patched. I will tell all my friends and I definitely will call them when it is time to clean my carpets. I highly recommend this service especiallybecause of Mark or Seth. Thanks again
the best. will use again. – Charlotte Carpet Cleaning does outstanding work, no doubt about it. You really have to be careful with carpet cleaning. Some companies are excellent but most are mediocre or worse. I did a search and found Charlotte Carpet Cleaning. We chose this company because of the urine stains and traffic lane dirt. It came out better than expected and we could not believe the urine that came out of the padding with their pad flush tool. It smelled great and looked completely clean. Some of the rooms were dry when they left because they put dryers down after cleaning them. I loved this and highly recommend Charlotte Carpet Cleaning.
THE BEST EVER – Charlotte Carpet Cleaning showed up at our door right on time. When they left our carpet was absolutely spotless and looked new! Also, we had them deodorize my vehicle and it's never smelled so sweet! Charlotte Carpet Cleaning delivers superior service, friendly, fair and exquisite people. They are company owners who truly care about their customers satisfaction and have it their #1 goal. Thanks to Charlotte Carpet Cleaning we always know that we have a reliable company to call and depend on. Never would we use anyone else.

A keyboard is the set of typewriter-like keys that enables you to enter data into a computer. Computer keyboards are similar to electric-typewriter keyboards but contain additional keys. The keys on computer keyboards are often classified as follows:
QWERTY, AZERTY, Dvorak and Other Keyboards
The standard layout of letters, numbers, and punctuation is known as a QWERTY keyboard because the first six keys on the top row of letters spell QWERTY. The QWERTY keyboard was designed in the 1800s for mechanical typewriters and was actually designed to slow typists down to avoid jamming the keys. The AZERTY keyboard is the French version of the standard QWERTY keyboard. AZERTY keyboards differ slightly from the QWERTY keyboard.
Another keyboard design, which has letters positioned for speed typing, is the Dvorak keyboard. Unlike the traditional QWERTY keyboard, the Dvorak keyboard is designed so that the middle row of keys includes the most common letters.
Computer Keyboard Standards
There is no standard computer keyboard, although many manufacturers imitate the keyboards of PCs. There are actually three different PC keyboards: the original PC keyboard, with 84 keys; the AT keyboard, also with 84 keys; and the enhanced keyboard, with 101 keys. The three differ somewhat in the placement of function keys, the Control key, the Return key, and the Shift keys.
In addition to these keys, IBM keyboards contain the following keys: Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Insert, Pause, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, Break, Caps Lock, Print Screen.
There are several different types of keyboards for the Apple Macintosh. All of them are called ADB keyboards because they connect to the Apple Desktop bus (ADB). The two main varieties of Macintosh keyboards are the standard keyboard and the extended keyboard, which has 15 additional special-function keys.

I opened up the front panel of the washing machine and noticed that water was leaking from a hose along the top left of the machine. I ordered a new plastic injector nozzle and rubber injector valve. The parts arrived in 2 days. Switchout of the parts took less than 5 minutes. Tested it out; the leak was gone. Total cost $22.62. Money well spent!

First removed front to see approximately where the leak was - left side from the front. Parts arrived quickly. Removed top and swung up to the left side (not the back). Video was very helpful at showing how to replace valve and nozzle. The old valve did indeed have a hole in it and the injection had some perished rubber slime. Closed back up. Hit snag - the top loader door latch was not engaging preventing the machine operating. Hmm. Opened up again and with flashlight located sound of buzzing relay (being careful since the machine was powered) Noticed a wire was caught up in the relay. Disconected power. Re-sited wire and used a twist to hold to other wires to keep it out of the way of the relay. Closed back up. Everything fine. So glad to keep my 24 yr old machine going! Amazing that this was the first time it had ever been moved and opened up. Moving and cleaning was be far the longest part of the whole operation. Great site.

Remove two screws to take off the front. Remove two bolts to loosen the top, slide it aside. Remove one hose clamp and take out injector valve and nozzle. Lube the new nozzle with soapy water, slide the valve in and re-insert into hose. I replaced the hose clamp, but it wasn't really necessary.Bolt down the top and replace the front and screws.I did move the machine and clean the inlet screens, just to make sure. It did improve the hot water flow.
CustomerForrest from San Diego CA
This happened once before and had I remembered how to get the front door off and lift the top it would have taken me less time. I actually spent more time assessing prior to ordering parts than in repairing once the parts came.One odd thing - it only leaked when the hot water was entering (if the settings were on cold only no leak - no idea why that should be).Anyway, this injector and the rubber housing it slides into get old and clogged or deteriorate. I ordered all the parts and replace them - but probably only needed to replace the plastic injector nozzel and the rubber sleeve it fits into. All good now - no more leaks (until the next time!)
CustomerSandra from Norwell MA
The hardest part and most time consuming was opening the machine the first time due to rusty bolts. After using WD-40 to loosen the bolts it was very easy to find the leak. I ordered the parts on Sat. received them on Tues A.M. Including opening the machine again replacing the parts with the new ones and putting it back together, it took less than 30 mins. Please Note: I am a woman and except for the orginal opening when my son helped with the rusty bolts I did this myself. EASY EASY EASY!

CustomerLynn from Norwood CO
Once the front and top of the machine were opened,I loosened the clamps on each end of the injector. I removed the rubber injector valve and the plastic injector nozzle was inside. I placed the new nozzle inside the rubber valve making sure the lip of the nozzle was locked in the rubber valve as on the one I had removed. I used a little detergent to lubricate the wider end of the rubber valve(as suggested by someone else in their description). I placed the valve into the washer in the same way the old one came out. I tightened the clamps and started the machine. No leak. I put the top and front on and have been happily washing since. This machine was given to us used by my mother-in-law. It is at least 25 years old. I assumed we would have to replace the machine, but we repaired it for less than $20., including shipping. Thanks.

I removed the front panel 2 screws. Then two screws holding the top deck. Two clamps removed on both ends of rubber injector. Replaced the nozzle and rubber valve, which was leaking. Buttoned the screws and washer works fine.
CustomerRussell from Tucson AZ
Removed the front cover with two screws at the bottom face. Two steel bolts and the top raises up. Removed the old rubber part and put the new one in. NO LEAK!I had read where several people had to do the same thing. I will always have a washer basin under it from now on though.
CustomerKevin from Hinckley MN
First I removed the front cover by removing screwstowards the bottom of the front. Then I removed thebolt in each of the front top corners. Now you can lift the top all the way up. Next I located the filler hose that has the injector nozzle and the rubber injector valve. Next I loosened the clamps that hold these parts in place. Next I replaced the worn parts with the new parts and reassembled everything in reverse order.

Points of Interest
- Alise cites her boyfriend, Australian BMX superstar Sam Willoughby, as one of the most influential individuals on her career.
- Alise was also a highly competitive gymnast in her 'younger days.'
- In 2006 she was voted "Rookie Pro of the Year" by the readers of BMXer Magazine. Up until this point, this honor had been exclusively reserved for males.
Despite being one of the best female BMX racers in the U.S. back in 2008, Alise Post was denied a spot on the Olympic team because, at age 17, she was too young. The age minimum for an Olympic BMX racer in 2008 was 19. In a sport that awards national titles to champions as young as five, a racer's rise to fame comes early, and the young BMX star from St. Cloud, Minn., who was accustomed to racing at the sport's top level, was forced to witness BMX's pinnacle event from afar. To distract herself from the disappointment, Alise spread herself thin across three sports: BMX, gymnastics, and track and field, while maintaining a 4.0 grade average. The Herculean efforts demanded by her activities took a toll and her 2008-09 BMX racing seasons suffered as a result.
Throughout those years, Alise had a bit of a reality check. Injury and fresh competition brought new challenges to her. Despite her below-par performances on the international level, by the end of 2009 she was back among the world's best. Once she became eligible for the 2012 Olympic Games, Alise took her dedication to BMX to a new level. Upon graduating high school in 2009, Alise retired from gymnastics and track and field in order to relocate — at the invitation of USA Cycling — to the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., and regain her winning ways. Although she remained busy by continuing her education as a fulltime student at the University of San Diego for the 2009-10 academic year and by increasing her involvement on the BMX World Cup circuit, she saw big improvements in the beginning of 2010. As a result, she resolved to narrow her focus yet again by making the difficult decision to take a break from college and completely dedicate herself to BMX.
Within months of this decision, Alise claimed a place as the top-ranked American, both nationally and internationally, by taking third place at both her first elite world championship, and at a world cup race on her home track in Chula Vista. She followed up those results with a fourth place at the final world cup round in France and by finishing second overall in the world rankings.
Alise's brilliant performances ended with a crash in practice just days prior to the 2011 UCI BMX World Championships. Her years as a gymnast and track and field athlete left her with overstretched ligaments, which tore on impact and left her right fibula exposed to breakage. She was poised for a strong finish to the 2011 season and as she put it, "It's crazy…a year's worth of work and "BAM!," gone in the blink of an eye."
A true competitor, the 5'2", 120 lb. Post began immediate rehab following surgery and was back on her bike in time to successfully defend her USA Cycling national championship title in the spring of 2012 and hasn't slowed since.

SMALL BUSINESSES represent some 3.5 million enterprises across the United States. Recognition can be a competitive advantage for small companies, yet they often overlook some of the most important things they can do, thinking they just don't have the resources to motivate employees.
Not Joe Ball, who owns Ellis Well Drilling in Clermont, Fla. Joe has only four full-time employees and one half-time employee. "It's companies like mine that are the backbone of America — not H.J. Heinz, IBM, or Pratt and Whitney," he told me. "There is no better character-building experience than making payroll for a small business each week." Small companies consistently employ more people than these mega-companies, yet, he said, "we are virtually ignored in discussions about employee motivation."
How do you motivate just four people? Joe can't use tools such as "Employee of the Month," and he can't afford $1,000 scholarships. Here are a few things he does do:
He makes small employee loans. Interest-free.
He is very lenient with family and/or health issues, such as the need to be with someone during surgery. He never makes people take their formal time off during such events.
He allows employees to use company equipment.
He encourages employees to take kids with them to work, when necessary and possible.
He allows people to take off from work in the early to midafternoons on Fridays.
He supports any and all reasonable training opportunities. "I regard school as a benefit," he said. "It's a day away from the job with a free lunch, and it's not stressful.

Senator Mark Udall recently visited Colorado's largest geothermal heat pump installation at the new IKEA store in Centennial Watch video.
In a recent survey, CoGEHPA members identified 'work w/utilities to support and promote geo' as a top priority for improving the success of their business. As a result, CoGEHPA is embarking on an effort to become an active participant in Public Utilities Commission functions and make the voice of geo heard at the table, to establish relationships with key utility stakeholders and to gather insights into legislation that affects members and the industry. The Board approved a six point plan that sets short and long term objectives for engaging the utility sector. Members also ranked the lack of consumer awareness as a major hurdle to business growth. CoGEHPA seeks to tackle this obstacle as resources become available. We need your help to accelerate both of these efforts - please join or donate to CoGEHPA today.
Simple. Go to the CoGEHPA online directory. Here you'll find more than 60 professionals who can design your residential retrofit or commercial project, drill your loop field, provide cost/benefit/payback analyses, install your system, offer case studies and help you with financing options. These are some of the best pros in the state – including IGSHPA certified installers and designers. Don't take a chance with strangers – use a CoGEHPA member for your next project. Please call CoGEHPA anytime if you have questions about locating geo professionals, services, case studies or general geo information – 970 846 0303.
A November poll taken by readers of Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration NEWS shows they predict more growth from geothermal heat pumps than either air source heat pumps or central a/c systems. Nearly 60% of the 267 votes favored geothermal heat pumps as having the greatest growth rate in the next five years.
2012 could well prove to be the 'Year of Geothermal' in the picturesque mountain town of Pagosa Springs in southwestern Colorado. Led by Mayor Ross Aragon, the community has several projects which will showcase Pagosa's geothermal resources and the town's commitment to be a model for green energy production. Mayor Aragon is confident that his town will see the first of three planned geothermally heated, domed greenhouses constructed this summer which will serve as an educational facility for K-12 and college students. Another project will monitor the town's geothermal wells in order to gather real-time data, measuring the extent of the geothermal aquifer's behavior as well as the extent of available resources. Complimenting this effort, geophysics professors from the Colorado School of Mines will lead a team of graduate students in May to conduct deep seismic and geoelectrical data collection. Yet another project will use shallow drilling to investigate the potential for power production. Read more.

Two parcels totaling more than 8,000 acres will be up for a geothermal lease sale by BLM officials on February 9 at its Lakewood office. The parcels are located east of Gunnison, where some of the state's hottest hydrothermal resources have been identified. This is the second BLM geothermal lease sale within the past 13 months, following the Mt. Princeton lease parcels in November of 2010. Details of Lease Notice
Hampered by a late start and just an 18 day drilling window, Aspen's effort to evaluate geothermal resources has been suspended. With a test hole at just 1,000 ft, no water has been discovered yet. The drilling came to a halt out of consideration for neighborhood noise concerns and the approaching ski season. A feasibility study in 2008 suggested that 90 – 140 degree water might be present, with >100 degree water the threshold for district heating applications. City officials have not yet determined if the project will resume in the spring. At the Eagle County Airport near Gypsum, Flint Eagle LLC is in the permitting process for a 4,000 ft test well to explore geothermal water in the Rio Grande Rift. The well will provide information on volume, temperature and chemistry which, if suitable, could provide heating and energy production options.

In The Burbs
9:05 PM EDT, March 26, 2013
I wanted to write about the new urine-controlled restroom video game system at Coca-Cola Park ("Swing, bladder!") but someone else landed that assignment.
So I got the No. 2 story of the day, the reunion of Mike and Ike.
I was tempted to write "gay icons Mike and Ike," because, you know, who are we kidding. When Just Born Inc., the Bethlehem candy maker, announced last year that the imaginary partners were splitting over "creative differences," the story was all about subtext.
If that wasn't the intent, that's certainly how it was taken.
"Mike And Ike Head For Gay Divorce In New Ad Campaign," the Huffington Post trumpeted, while the conservative Family Research Council slammed the company for "sexualizing" candy and chipping away at the definition of marriage.
After the big split, Mike and Ikes were sold in boxes on which either Mike or Ike had been scribbled out. Mike, the story went, had gone to pursue his love of music, Ike his love of art.
On the boxes, each offered a catty message about the other: Mike said Ike spent too much time on his "graffiti," while Ike faulted Mike for neglecting everything but his music.
Yes, it was a gimmick, and it worked. The New York Times ran a piece about it headlined "Reviving Two Characters By Tearing Them Apart," likening Mike and Ike to Simon and Garfunkel, Martin and Lewis, Lennon and McCartney and other teams whose separation sparked angst in fandom.
Just Born says the campaign led to the highest sales in the brand's 73-year history. Indeed, Mike and Ike sales were up 7.2 percent, while the rest of the non-chocolate candy category grew 6.6 percent. The main Mike and Ike Original Fruits variety, which accounts for more than 65 percent of brand sales, was up 9.3 percent.
Well, Americans love an acrimonious split. But they also love a tender reunion. Mike and Ike realized they could work past their differences and still pursue their art and music dreams while producing their beloved candy.
Stacy Bender, a Just Born publicist, sent along an FAQ to help with the story. It addresses the sexuality of Mike and Ike thusly:
Q: Are they gay?
A: "Not that I know of. They are business partners, they are not a couple. They are friends and, in business, partners."
It also explains what the partners have been up to for the past year.
"During the split, Mike made a music video called Strawberry or Die, and Ike collected beautiful art of some of the popular fruit flavors — all of this can be seen on http://www.mikeandike.com as well as the Mike and Ike Facebook page.
"In addition, both of those pursuits inspired the new Mike and Ike candy, made with real fruit juice and an amplified taste and an entirely new variety called Strawberry Reunion created to celebrate the return of these candy guys."
Just Born, you surely know, is also the maker of Peeps and Hot Tamales. Its factory on Stefko Boulevard has a number of directional signs at the entrance, one of which says "Marshmallow" and always makes me think of a Wonka-esque world of fruit-flavored wallpaper and fizzy lifting drink.
Now that they have thoroughly modernized Mike and Ike, I hope they start rehabilitating another of their brands, Goldenberg's Peanut Chews.
I have it on good authority that Goldenberg is a cranky old cuss. The fillings in my teeth told me after he tried to pull them out.

Retro College Cuts loves college basketball! That is why they are awarding a FREE trip to Las Vegas for the first weekend of the 2012 NCAA Tournament.
There's just one game on Saturday matching ranked teams and surprisingly it comes in the SEC, where #11 Kentucky (16-5, 4-3) heads south to take on #23 Florida (17-5, 6-2). And while the SEC East has shown itself to be somewhat wide-open, John Calipari's young Wildcats would be well-served to win this one and avoid falling behind the Gators by two games in the loss column. But Kentucky also has just one road win in conference play (South Carolina) and they'll have their hands full with a talented group of Gators.

Valpo Remains Unbeaten at Home after Sweeping Robert Morris
Thursday, April 05, 2007Valparaiso swept a doubleheader from Robert Morris (Ill.) on a cold, breezy Thursday afternoon at Emory G. Bauer Field to remain undefeated at home on the season, downing the Eagles 6-0 and 3-2, with the second game going nine innings.
The Crusaders jumped in front in the third inning of game one. Jeff Rickert (Hamilton, Ohio/Hamilton H.S.) singled and advanced to second on an error then came around to score on Michael Arensdorff's (Eldridge, Iowa/North Scott H.S.) single.
Valpo plated four more runs in the fifth, batting around the order. Josh Piazza (Glenview, Ill./Notre Dame H.S.) led off the inning with a double and scored on a throwing error. Rickert's single drove home another run, and two more runs came across the plate following an error on the Robert Morris second basemen. Arensdorff drove home the Crusaders' final run in the sixth with a base hit.
Harvey Yergin (Akron, Ohio/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy) went the distance for the shutout, allowing just three singles in the seven innings. The senior did not walk a batter while striking out three to earn the victory (1-4).
The nightcap saw Valpo jump in front with two in the opening inning. Three straight singles to lead off the game, the final by Zach Rodeghero (New Lenox, Ill./Providence Catholic H.S.), scored Rickert and Arensdorff.
Robert Morris (11-16) cut the Crusader lead in half in the third with a bases loaded walk. An error by Valpo with two outs in the seventh tied the game, forcing extra innings.
In the bottom of the ninth, Arensdorff led off the inning being hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After a sacrifice bunt and two intentional walks, Joe Lazar (Traverse City, Mich./Central H.S.) drew an unintentional pass to bring home the winning run.
Rickert had three hits in each game for the Crusaders to lead the way offensively while Arensdorff had two more hits in game two to extend his hitting streak to 12 straight.
Jay Clites (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer H.S.) earned the win (2-0), pitching 2.1 innings of perfect relief.
Valparaiso (7-15) will head to Carbondale, Ill. for single games against Southern Illinois this weekend, beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Spot the 'stolen' pet home
3:10pm Monday 30th December 2013 in News By Gema Bate
A MISSING dog returned home in time for Christmas after he was found wandering 15 miles from his home.
Spot the border collie went missing from a care farm in Sandlin, near Leigh Sinton, on Saturday, December 7.
Facing a Christmas without their much-loved pet – which is also a fully trained working dog – the relieved owners received a phone call on Saturday, December 21, saying he had been sighted in Westhide, Herefordshire.
And when they turned up, they found the four-year-old long-haired dog ambling along the road.
Nigel Hooper, Spot's owner, said: "He had a high temperature and we took him to the vet's. He was underweight and limping but his temperature soon came down, though he will have to go back to the vet's for more check-ups."
It is not known where the dog had been while he was missing but there was a chance he was stolen.
"There's a possibility he was stolen and got away but we're not 100 per cent sure.
"Everybody missed him and not just us because we look after people with learning disabilities and they missed him, too."
Spot was having to be fed little and often to return his weight back to normal but was said to be happy to be home for the festivities.
Mr Hooper said: "Spot is responding well to treatment and is well on his way to a full recovery."
