Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer didn't participate in Monday's general election canvass, and her office won't say where she is.
Brewer spokesman Matthew did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press asking about Brewer's absence.
Benson said in a brief email to the AP that Brewer is out of the state on official business and unavailable to participate in the canvass Monday morning.
Benson's email adds that is all he can disclose at this time.
Under the Arizona Constitution, Secretary of State Ken Bennett is acting governor because Brewer is out of the state.
Benson says his office received the customary notification of Brewer's absence late Friday.
He says his office was notified after it sent a media advisory listing Brewer among officials participating in Monday's election canvass.

Sealing the deal on clean air
ISA93, the Sealing Technologies committee, is ramping back up after a nine-year lull to dedicate itself to issues surrounding the Clean Air Act and industries focused on reducing fugitive emissions. The committee originally started in 1993 with a focus on on-off industrial valves. Valves, especially valve stem seals, were a priority for significant improvement in emissions reductions. Early assessments categorized valve stem seals as a major contributor to fugitive emissions.
"Experience has shown this estimate was very accurate," said Chairman Rich Davis of Universal Products Biz in Conroe, Tex. "Data collected over several years from various petrochemical companies and petroleum refiners revealed industrial valves accounted for 60% of emissions sources in typical process units. Testing of valves and stem seals became a high priority for sealing products manufacturers, the valve manufacturers, and the user community," he said.
The rush to test led to quite a few testing protocols. Lacking a recognized industry testing standard, the manufacturers and users faced all the usual obstacles with one quite significant difference—the EPA Clean Air Act instilled financial penalties and the possibility for individual prosecution for noncompliance.
Since published in 1999, ANSI/ISA SP93.00.01 has served as a guidepost for the development of other industry standards, including ISO 15848-1 Industrial Valves – Measurement, Test and Qualification Procedures for Fugitive Emissions and the API-622, Type Testing of Process Valve Packing for Fugitive Emissions. The standard gained a large following inside the user community, but with exceptions.
"As chairman of the committee, I see an opportunity to revisit the original standard using lessons learned, updated technology, and incorporation of time-tested end-user experience," Davis said.
Some of the new technology includes instrumentation used to measure leakage for methane, which "has become more precise during the years since we originally wrote the standard," Davis said. "We have gained a great deal of knowledge about the influence of how the mechanical attributes of valves will influence the test results. We have also gained more understanding surrounding the number of thermal and mechanical cycles needed to develop meaningful data. Comments from some labs have indicated the formula presently provided in the standard, establishing a corollary between methane and helium leakage, is not defendable and needs to be removed."
The basic strategy for the committee is to update the roster, recruit some new members, and then start re-working the current standard: 93.00.01-1999 Standard Method for the Evaluation of External Leakage of Manual and Automated On-Off Valves.
Classifying valves
The standard applies to the classification of valve design and provides the methods for the testing of valve stems and body seals. It is not intended for production testing and excludes control valves. The results of the test methods will classify valve designs to performance levels in test temperature, pressure rating, concentration and parts per million of leakage, number of mechanical cycles, number of thermal cycles, adjustments to seals, or number of adjustments.
The purpose of the standard is to establish a uniform process for assuring manual and automated on-off valves tests using uniform methods and will meet user needs in complying with volatile organic compounds fugitive emissions requirements. The test method is not intended to be pass-fail criteria.
Test methods in the standard will apply only to valves with these stem motion designs: rotating and rising, rotating and non-rising, and non-rotating and rising. The classification will apply only to the stem motion design of 1.2. The test results of a particular valve may see use to extend the classification to other valves following these guidelines:
Valves with identical stems and body seals material, geometry, and loading characteristics, when the stems and body seals diameters are within ±25% of the tested diameters
Valves otherwise identical, meeting the criteria of 1.4a, which are applied below the tested temperature, down to ambient temperature
Valves otherwise identical, meeting the criteria of 1.4.a, which are of a lower pressure rating
Valves intended for vacuum service are beyond the scope of this standard.
The revamped committee's first meeting was in Houston at ISA EXPO 2008. The next meeting is planned for some time in February.
For more information, contact Chairman Richard Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ellen Fussell Policastro (firstname.lastname@example.com) writes and edits Standards.
Sensors back in lineISA97 is about standardizing the in-line dimensions of flowmeters to promote interchangeability of same type and different types across different manufacturers products, said committee chair Brian Smith of Eneos Nova in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. "The idea was conceived by Ian Verhappen as an enhancement of the Fieldbus interchangeability concept," he said. "The benefit would be to reduce or eliminate the need for piping changes when a flowmeter replacement is required. Users could interchange flowmeters without limitations resulting from the current differences in flow meter in-line dimensions." The scope of this revamped standard is to prepare a series of standards to specify the process connection dimensions of sensing devices and thus promote innovation in sensor technology and interchangeability of similar devices. "Our purpose is to create a series of standards on process connection dimensions for the various types of sensors, such as flowmeters, pressure sensors, and discrete devices," he said. "All users in all industries could use flowmeters that meet this standard to change one brand for another," Smith said. "They can also use them to change a vortex flowmeter with a magnetic flowmeter and any other suitable flowmeter having the same in-line (face-to-face dimensions)." Compatible end connections are also required such as DIN, ANSI, etc. The revised draft standards for flanged and wafer style vortex flowmeters have been balloted, and the committee is now working to resolve comments. "We will schedule our next meeting as required depending on the results of this effort," Smith said. For more information, contact Brian Smith at email@example.com. |

iPad Mini Retina would need a bulky 12W charger
think about it
why "spoil" users with the compact 5W charger in 2012 and then "disappoint" them with a bulkier charger in 2013 if Apple was planning to release a retina ipad mini in the next 12 months, they would have shipped a bulky charger with the current one in the first place what do you think? |

Oh frickin no. Next you're going to say you actually prefer non-Retina.

Dec 15, 2012, 06:01 PM | #3 |
I'm ok with the bulkier charger.
The point is, from apple "packaging and charger design team" point of view it would be a step backward, so iPad Mini retina won't happen until it is feasible to charge it with the compact 5W power adapter. File it as "yet another reason why the Digitimes 2013 iPad mini retina rumor may be BS". Or may not. |

Pretty sure most people complained that the mini should have came with the 12 watt charger anyways and were disappointed that it came with the 5 watt.

The general public would see it as a step backward*, it just feels weird on Apple's side if they were planning to ship a retina iPad mini in 2013. *a pretty noticeable one, unlike the "grab a caliper and a precision scale if you want to notice" step backward in the iPad2-to-iPad3 transition. |

Our 5W adapters are the same shape and size as our 12W adapters.
It would make no difference here.

I was thinking about this as well. However, the original iPad wasn't "Retina" and the second generation became slimmer and lighter. When they did go on to the third generation "Retina" iPad in 2012, it was both heavier and thicker than its predecessor. I see them doing the same thing with the mini. By the time the new iPad mini is released (say, summer/fall of 2013) they should have new, more power-efficient displays (e.g., Sharp's IGZO displays).
The bigger problems I see with a "Retina" iPad mini is resolution choice and differentiation between their full-sized and mini line of iPads. If Apple decides on using the full-sized iPad's resolution on the mini, then the mini will have a higher DPI of 324 (according to my calculations). It makes the full-sized iPad feel less "pro." On the other hand, making a new resolution with a similar DPI to the iPad's 264 would cause defragmentation for iPad app developers. Maybe this isn't as big a problem as I think. |

90% of consumers haven't even noticed the weight/thickness gain of ipad 3.
Switching back to a bulkier charger (at least in US and EU) would be a bit harder to not notice. We'll see... |

98% of consumers aren't going to give two craps about the charger, they are buying it for the DEVICE not for how large the charger is. Pretty silly even to someone as fickle about electronics as me.
Do you think a chargers bulkiness will actually affect sales? This is akin to not buying a car because the battery is too big. Apple can thin out anything, I'm sure they can get a 12w charger to an acceptable thinness. |

It's just weird. Apple could have just shipped the original mini with the bigger charger and a thicker box (like in australia), this way nobody would have ever "associated" the mini with the compact cellphone charger. It would have been just the way things are. Instead now it will be a small disappointment and a first time for apple IIRC. (shipping a bigger charger in a next gen iteration) Or I'm overthinking this. |

The point is, I don't believe the Digitimes rumor.
iPad Mini Retina will come in 2014 with power sipping internals/display and the familiar 5W compact charger. iPad Mini 2013 could have 8Mpx camera, maybe draft AC gigabit wifi, doubled storage, doubled RAM, etc. and the familiar 5W compact charger. Still 1024x768 and ipad2 discontinued. Last edited by giggles; Dec 15, 2012 at 08:40 PM. |

Anything new in Ipad mini 2 will surely disappoint the first generation users anyway. It couldn't get any worse for this form factor.
5W adaptor included is a joke. A mobile charger for a tablet, Apple is so cheap. |

text: People don't tend to buy signs every day so they often have questions about the various signs we offer. However we deal with signs every day, so to try and make buying signs easier we've tried to answer some of the more common questions we deal with. We hope you find the following information helpful. What is an A-Board?The term A-Board refers to the shape of the sign, when viewed from the side you can see 2 boards joined at the top and with a strut between which forms the shape of a capital A. Most have a collapsible strut to allow for compact, flat storage. Can I use A-Boards outside?Some A-boards are more suitable than others for outdoors use but in general the answer is yes. The two main factors to consider are wind and rain, or how weatherproof do you need your A-board to be? If you plan to position your A-board in a sheltered area then you can opt for the cheaper and lighter A-Master boards or even the Budget A-Board. However those lighter A-boards will be less stable in stronger winds so we recommend our heavier Booster A-Board range where for example the smaller 20"x30" boards weigh in at 16kg and the larger A1 size weighs a sturdy 23kg. Most of our A-Boards have a water-resistant cover to protect your display from the rain. Although not waterproof enough to recommend them for use underwater they'll cope with even quite severe UK weather conditions. If you want greater confidence against strong gusts of wind we would recommend considering one of our other pavement sign options such as a swinger sign. Do I need to tell you what should go on the sign?All our A-boards are sold blank. Some units allow you to insert posters while others are classed as permanent signage and will require special printing. All our A-boards come with details about the requirements for this printing however should you require assistance we are able to give recommendations or arrange printing on your behalf. If you have any questions at all about A-boards or any other signage please don't hesitate to call or email. Our helpful staff will be happy to share their knowledge and experience to ensure you get the display system that is right for your needs. |

Mountainous republic in central Europe, bordered by Germany and the former Czechoslovakia to the north, Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. Its capital and largest city is Vienna.
Note: Under the Hapsburg dynasty (1278–1918), Austria maintained control of the Holy Roman Empire and became a leading player in European politics.
Note: After losing control of the German portions of the Holy Roman Empire in the nineteenth century, Austria joined with Hungary to create the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867–1918). Allied with Germany, Bulgaria, and Turkey in World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was devastated by the war.
Note: Austria was occupied by Nazi forces in 1938 and annexed by Adolf Hitler to Germany. It was reestablished as a republic in 1945 but remained occupied by four Allied powers until it declared neutrality in 1955.
Note: The picturesque Tyrol region, in the western part of the country, is a favorite year-round tourist spot.
Capital of Austria and largest city in the country, located in northeastern Austria on the south bank of the Danube River; Austria's leading cultural, economic, and political center.
Note: Vienna was the capital of the Austrian (later Austro-Hungarian) Empire under the Hapsburgs, who ruled from 1278 to 1918.
Note: During World War II, German troops occupied the city. It was badly damaged by bombing by the Allies, who controlled the city from 1945 to 1955.
Note: It is the home of composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, and Johann Strauss, the Younger.

I got "THE NOTICE!"
Well, I periodically check my flights for the next few months. I got the notice from USAIr that my one trip will not be operating on the way back! I would have to overnight or take 5 million flights to get home. I am working with USAir right now to reschedule the return flights (yes, FLIGHTS!) They are very kind and working with every other airline known to man to try to get me home the same day from Barbados. Great service from USAir....hard to be cranky.
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
Hi Bonniejoy,
What a bummer to have to deal with that inconvenience after you thought you were all set with your flights. This happened to us once with United flying home from Paris. Our United FF flight Paris to Tampa was scrapped and we wound up taking Air Canada to Montreal then catching an Air Canada flight to Toronto, switching to US Air from Toronto to Baltimore, connecting to another US Air flight to Charlotte and yet another US Air flight to Tampa. It took us from 5:30 AM European time leaving our Paris apartment to arriving well after midnight US time. We were absolutely dead by the time we reached our Sarasota condo.
At least US Air is working with you trying to reschedule your flight.. Keep insisting and be friendly but firm that they have an obligation get you home the same day or at least pay for the overnight hotel cost if you have to since you had confirmed reservation, and they changed your flights not you.
I wish you good luck and let us hear how you made out in the end.
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
HORRIBLE outcome. After working with "Sue" at Usair for over 1 hour on the phone, USAir said NO to overthing....no to another carrier, no to paying for a hotel, no, no, no!!!! This means that my only choice is to get my money back (can't confirm about penalty!) or take the flight, overnight in Charlotte at my expense, then take the next flight home. Is this absurd? I am planning to call USair customer relations tomorrow morning. (they are closed on the weekend.) Anyone out there offering any suggestions? Do I have a leg to stand on? Thanks for any input.
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
Hi bonniejoy,
Rather than calling USair customer relations tomorrow morning try to write to the President with copy to the Customer Relations Officer and document your case. State clearly what has happened and what you expect them to do for you. Tell them you have worked with Sue and others and the outcome is unsatisfactory. Go to the top and I am sure, they will look at your case and you may get satisfaction. At the link below, you will find all the US Air Officers names and bios. Hope this helps.

Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
OK...two more issues to add:
First: I received a "response" back to my letter to USAir President. (I really listened to all of you and took your advice to send one!) Well, it was a "sorry but" letter that had the guts to end with directing me to customer service for a response if I ever had an issue (vs sending a letter to the President.) GOT ME MAD UNTIL..........................
Second: I checked my flights on my new favorite airline Delta for my May trip...Guess what.,,, change of schedule with a 31 minute connection time to go through customs, grab the bags, and recheck in for the next flight. I called Delta and the very ARROGANT young clerk said it was fine connection but would double check because I was pestering him! He checked and said ....not enough time you are stuck overnighting it in Cleveland or Cincinnati!!! (the original flight was St. Maarten to Atlanta to Harrisburg. Now, he was going to add St. Maarten to Atlanta to Ohio to Harrisburg as a two day trip and thought this was a solution with us sleeping in the airport!!! He got so beligerant that I got him on speaker with my husband. He keep talking TO my husband saying that I couldn't understand this situation (basically I was plain stupid so he couldn't direct the call to me.) My husband, being the gentleman, decided it was best to end the call. Can you believe this.
Thanks all for letting me vent. Am I the only one out there feeling completely helpless, frustrated and down right angry for this level of service?
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
Hi bonniejoy,
If I were you, I would wright right back to the US Air President, saying that his response to your problem was unsatisfactory. You were writing to him personally in the first place because you derived no satisfaction from his customer relations department and you were disappointed how he handled your request. Ask him, to please look personally into the matter instead of redirecting you to the customer relations department. Be firm, tell him you are angry at his response, say you are disappointed, and don't take no for an answer. If you make enough of a nuisance of yourself to him, he might just give you what you want, just to have you and the problem go away....
On the Delta episode, contact someone at their customer service in writing explaining your situation and your conversation with this clerk. I hope you got his/her name. Ask their customer service to help.
Are USAir and Delta the only airlines that can get you from St. Martin to Harrisburg?
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
Hi LL. Thanks for your suggestions. I am exasperated! I gave up...they broke me down! AA is pulling out of the Harrisburg in November. We can always use a larger city airport but then we would need hotels before and after the trip due to the times. Because of this, overnighting doesn't seem TOOOO bad! I am still hoping Delta schedule will change again.
As to USAir, I cannot believe the response and still disappointed. We will be flying with them shortly so let's see if they improve!
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
Hi Bonniejoy03,
Don't give up yet, and especially don't let on that they got you. Give USAir "Hell" for messing with your flights and not serving you better. I did some checking on my own and found some reasonable flights on sidestep.com on USAir in Nov. without over-nigthing, but flying into BWI to get you home. Cheapest price was $690 R/T. Have a look at your personal messages, I sent you one.
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
I didn't believe that this thing really happened until I talked to my brother-in-law this week. He had planned to fly U.S. AIrways into Eugene, where we live, for Thanksgiving. Just last week, they informed him that they would no longer be flying into Eugene after October 2, so he could fly on United, their partner, who would honor his ticket. He called United, and they told him that he could fly on United, but the ticket would cost twice as much since he had booked his ticket way in advance and now it's getting closer to Thanksgiving and very few seats are available. My brother-in-law is a very experienced flyer since he flies all over the world on business, so he knew how to handle the situation. Or at least he thought that he knew. He spoke to a superviser, who was unable to help him. He called back and spoke to another superviser, who told him the same thing.
It's really a shame that there are no good alternatives to long distance flying or the airlines would not do this to us. It's almost getting to the point where air travel is so uncomfortable and our rights are so trampled on, that it's not worth flying.
Re: I got "THE NOTICE!"
Oh my, oh my, bonniejoy03. The example you have outlined is just one of the many, many reasons travelers have gotten sick of putting up with USAir and why I believe they will eventually fold and their routes will be absored by a better airlines.

Grand jury to hear case of mom of boy left in car
Tuesday - 10/29/2013, 11:37am  ET
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A grand jury will hear the commonwealth's case against the mother of an 8-month-old baby who died after being left in a hot car.
Arlington Judge Esther Wiggins found probable cause Monday to continue with a charge of felony neglect against 32-year-old Zoraida Magali Conde Hernandez.
Authorities say Hernandez left her son, Nathan, in his car seat for six hours while she was at work in July, on a day when the high temperature reached 90 degrees. She intended to drop the boy off at day care and didn't realize the baby was in the car until she went to pick up another child.
Defense attorney Rebecca Wade says she is confident that her client will not be convicted.
