Configuration and Setup: Your
new P3cars Gauge is packed with many advanced features, but has been
designed to work for your car pretty much right out of the box. There are a few
settings that you may wish to change such as english or metric units, or
selecting the proper engine model for your car, or setting the trigger RPM of
the shiftlight. Below is a basic description of the gauges different features
and modes. Wiring: When
first installing, connect ONLY the obd2 connector to check functionality before
proceeding. GREEN=dimmer BROWN=Analog1 BLUE=Analog2 AUX PLUG=external boost sensor Main
Button Functions Left Button TAP =
Peak recall (and start 15 second record) Left
Button HOLD =
15 sec playback Right
Button TAP =
View Current Mode Name (If pressed again within 5 sec, change mode) Right
Button HOLD = Night / Day Dimmer toggled
(if auto-dimming is not enabled) Gauge
ModesBoost: This mode will show vacuum and boost. Depending on settings in the
config menu this may be from VAG ecu data or an external analog sensor. Boost is
read in PSI by default and Vacuum is inHg. If you configure the gauge to metric
boost will be in BAR. Coolant: This mode will show your current coolant temp. Unlike the needle on
your dash, this will show you exactly the temp that your engine is currently
running at, and is configurable between Celsius & Fahrenheit. Air: Air intake temperature. This is the reading of the temperature of
the air entering the engine, and is configurable between Celsius &
Fahrenheit. Igntn: Actual ignition timing. This mode will show you the ignition timing
of your engine in real-time.Egt: Exhaust Gas Temperature. This is the temp of the exhaust gas as
calculated by your ECU. Throttle: Actual throttle plate position. Use this mode to see how your car
changes the actual drive by wire throttle blade in relation to what your foot
tells it to do. rp-Shift: RPM readout. It can be handy to use this mode to see an exact RPM or
to record/playback and see your shifts. Speed: Actual roadspeed direct from VSS. This is the actual roadspeed value
of the car, uncorrected. This is the raw value, therefore it may not match your
cluster which tends to read high in many cars. 0-60: Zero to sixty Performance Timer. Come to a stop and this mode will
read "Rdy…†The gauge is ready for you to accelerate to 60. As you accelerate
the gauge will time you and automatically stop when you hit 60, leaving your
time on the screen. When you slow to zero again the gauge will change to
"Rdy…†Batt: Battery
Voltage. This is the voltage of your cars power system, anything between 13-14.5
volts while running is normal.

Car.5 Not Used
Car.6 Not Used
Car.7 Not Used
Car.8 Not Used
and Clearing Codes
For version 2.1 and higher there is a Clr.C option in the config
menu, use this to clear codes!
To read codes, simply start your car. If you have a code, the gauge
will read it back to you. If you have multiple codes the gauge will read off all
codes. For a definition of codes, please check here.
To clear codes on OLDER versions of the gauge, once again turn the
car completely OFF, while the gauge is off, HOLD BOTH BUTTONS, and then start
the car. The gauge will say "hold†to confirm that you want to clear you must
continue to hold for several seconds and then the gauge will read "CLRD†and the
codes will be cleared.
Setting up the Optional Analog
Your gauge has 3 linear analog inputs, 2 of which can be used as
universal displays for ANY 0-5v sensor. Do not hook up a device that sends more
than 5 volts or you WILL damage your gauge.
To enable an analog input, enter the config menu and set the A1
input to Y for yes. After doing this, 3 new options will
A1.DP, analog 1 decimal points. The
gauge will show 9999 on the screen, and tapping the first button will move the
decimal point. A1.Lo, analog 1 Low volt, or Ov
reading, which the gauge will show when it sees ZERO volts on the input. -999
through 9999 A1.Hi, analog 1 High volts,
or 5v reading, which the gauge will show when it sees FIVE volts on the input.
-999 through 9999 A1.bL and A1.bH, limits of the
bargraph for that input. L is the bargraph start, H is the bargraph
Simply set the values for the 0v and 5v readings of your attached
sensor, as well as the number of decimal points, and the gauge will interpolate
anything between 0 and 5v to the proper display.
According to the LC-1 wideband controller documentation, Analog
output 2 is the 0-5v output. By default it is 0V = 7.35 AFR and 5V = 22.39 AFR .
To configure our gauge to show this on the first analog input, we would use the
following settings:
A1.DP, 2 decimal points, 99.99A1.Lo,
7.35 A1.bH
After putting these settings onto the analog input, the gauge will
show proper AFR displayed in the Analog 1 gauge mode.

Drift Stump, North Coast
Edward Weston gained international recognition early in his career with work from the portrait studio that he operated in California from 1911 to 1922. After meeting Alfred Stieglitz and other prominent modernists in New York in the early 1920s, he became disenchanted with the soft-focused Pictorialist style he had mastered so successfully. He returned to California to experiment with hard-edged, sharp-focused studies of nudes, organic forms, and landscapes, while his work became at the same time more abstract, often juxtaposing curvaceous forms with more geometric patterns. Weston was the first photographer ever to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, in 1937 (and again in 1938), at a time when he worked entirely outdoors with the limitless possibilities of the Western landscape.
In this image from 1939, made immediately following his fellowship work, the weight and ambiguous scale of the driftwood convey a sense of monumentality. The complexity of forms and surfaces is the focus of the image, and the delicate layer of fog heightens the wood's texture, rendering it almost palpable. The strong relationship between the drift stump and the scattered pieces of wood around it unifies the composition.

Commencement Ceremonies Scheduled Dec. 15
Monday, December 03, 2012
More than 1,100 undergraduate students and 250 graduate students, as well as six doctoral students, graduated Dec. 15 from the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
Two commencement ceremonies were held in Trask Coliseum:
- 9:30 a.m. for the Cameron School of Business, the College of Health and Human Services and the Watson College of Education
- 1 p.m. for the College of Arts and Sciences.
The graduates' families and friends filled the stands at Trask Coliseum. Anganette Young, chief executive officer of the New Hanover Community Health Center, gave the commencement address during the first ceremony. Dr. Herbert Berg from the international studies faculty spoke during the second ceremony.
Chancellor Gary L. Miller advised the graduates in both ceremonies to become active, involved citizens, to focus on learning throughout their lives, to care about their communities and improving the lives of others, and to embrace the "great variety of ideas, people and cultures" in the world.
"Everyone here is fortunate," he said. "Celebrate your good fortune by giving back and paying forward."

The story of the '78 Indy Pace Car is a surprising one, with some twists and turns. Initially, this model was intended to celebrate the Corvette's Silver Anniversary, with a limited run of 100 two-tone, logo'd cars planned for each of the 25 years of production. Upon finding unexpected extra demand, GM eventually built one for each of the 6,200 Corvette dealerships instead. That tallied up to about 15 percent of the 1978 build total--much more than a "limited production run"--and was not to be confused with another '78 limited-edition Vette model that wore a 25th Anniversary paint scheme.
Given the car's initial popularity, some unscrupulous buyers tried to pass off standard '78 models as factory Pace Cars. All it took was a black or silver car with the right options, along with a paint gun to apply the contrasting color for the two-tone treatment. That, plus a red pinstripe dividing the two colors, a couple of spoilers, special silver cabin trim, and thin-shell seats with extra lumbar support.
That's the story of the Pace Car in a nutshell. What hasn't been covered in detail, though, is how the car's drivetrain can be upgraded. That's the untold story we came across in Scott and Linda Walker's Pace Car.
Not one to rashly tamper with history, and being an ethical type employed in law enforcement, Scott is duly respectful toward the history of the '78 Pace Car. So in 1993, when the Walkers tracked down one just five miles from their home with only 3,000 miles on the odometer, they went to some lengths to restore it to near-new condition.
The interior was in excellent condition, as was the body. Scott noted, however, that the engine was so dirty, it appeared that no human had performed any cleaning on it since it rolled off the St. Louis assembly line on April 28, 1978.
The asking price was $16,500, but after some negotiating the Walkers were able to acquire it for $12,000. Considering the original sticker price of the car was $14,385, they felt they got a great deal.
Later in the year, Scott detailed the motor and brought it back to a near-new appearance. He also joined the NCRS and worked hard to keep the Vette original as possible, through some diligent investigative work, in keeping with his professional training.
"Whenever I found a low-mileage Pace Car, I would take pictures to document what color a part should be, or what sticker went where," he relates. Later on, he had a friend, Todd Harshman of O'Fallon, Missouri, repair all the stress cracks commonly found on the C3 Corvettes, then repaint the refurbished body.
"I believe it has a paintjob GM would have been proud of," Walker boasts of the finished product. "People are shocked when I tell them the car was painted in a garage. The Vette now looks great--but still original--and it's received numerous First Place trophies over the years."
With the car's cosmetics now in top-notch form, Walker soon came to an obvious conclusion regarding the car's period-correct drivetrain.
"While I loved the Vette, it was always lacking in horsepower," he admits. In 1978, the L82 engine was rated at 220 hp and recorded quarter-mile times in the high 15s at around 88 mph. That's hardly impressive compared with today's Corvettes, but in 1978 it could soundly thrash a Pinto.
Another reality check came when Walker thought of his Chevy S-10 pickup truck. Its 4.3 Vortec V-6 is rated at 240 horses, 20 more ponies than his beloved V-8 Corvette. He began to feel like he was carrying a Derringer to break up a gang fight. Seeking to increase the caliber of his street weapon, Walker began exploring ways to improve on its output with various power adders. Unfortunately, a blower or turbo would most likely require modifying the hood, something he wanted to avoid given the car's historically correct aesthetics.

Well I have now listened to the whole album and absolutely loved it!
Believe me when I say I'm not just saying that - I love music too much.
Who is/are the composers? The only piece I recognise is the one called 'Tavern', which I think is based on a traditional Sea Shanty and really got my foot tapping.
But every track on there was lively, well played and memorable. I think I detected an Hungarian feel to the Strings in several of the tracks - are any of them based on Hungarian Folk tunes?
You have an excellent orchestra and have made a wonderful recording. Bravo!

Because I get a lot of questions about it…I thought I'd share about my process when backing and quilting Minky. I'm definitely not an expert but I've found what works best for me. I only attempt quilting them myself when they are a throw size or under…if I'm in a brave mood I might even try a twin size.
As I said in my Looking In post, I bought buy a lot of my Minky backings from here or Joann's when they go on sale (usually around $7-8 dollars a yard). Since some of them are 64" wide (check the listing before you buy), I can usually get away with only buying 2 to 2.5 yards and not piecing the back (throw size and under). I don't pre-wash my Minky backs.
If I want a heavy quilt…especially if its going to be on a bed I add batting. If I want a lighter quilt for carrying around or for the couch I skip the batting. Double sided Minky Fleece is my favorite to use when I skip the batting (it's a little thicker/fluffier), but it probably doesn't matter. You can also use flannel to take the place of batting, especially if there is a lot of white in your top.
I pull out the big guns when I baste with Minky. I use basting spray heavily first, then I go back and also pin every 6-8". It's probably overkill but it works. I tape the back to the floor when I baste…but be extra careful not to stretch it. Just get the wrinkles and creases out without pulling it tight.
Right after basting I stay-stitched around the edges using a long stitch length to keep everything in place. Once you get quilting the quilt can shift a lot and the edges tend to get stretched and wonky…I feel like it helps me free motion quilt nicely around the edges and everything stays nice and square.
If you notice the backing pulling through to the front in the stitches, try switching to a thinner needle. I usually use a size 90/10 (?) needle when I quilt…once I switched to a smaller size it stopped.
Using a large quilting design will keep your quilt from being too stiff and it will drape more like a cozy fleece throw. It will also prevent swear words from being said. :)
After I machine stitch the binding on it's ready do be used and loved and fought over relentlessly!
That picture up there is before washing, but after washing it looked nearly the same with a tiny bit more "crinkle" in the top. Of course if you use batting, you'll get a nice crinkly top, but a much stiffer quilt.
Feel free to share any other tips in the comments section…I'm sure we'd all love to read them!

I've felt vey queasy the last couple days. The first few we're mostly fine. Seems I have to eat every two hours. Tried to stay with enough fiber, including pinto beans, black beans, grains, fruits and veggies. Have been consuming a bit of white bread here and there since I'm on vacation and have run into problems with options on the menu. This is the same type of queasiness I've gotten in the past when I haven't eaten enough and my blood sugar drops too far. Seems I am especially prone to low blood sugar. Which seems to result in not only queasiness, but also feeling light headed. In the past, I feel better when I'd eat a combination of protein and carbohydrates, like cheese and crackers or sardines and saltines. Anyhow, I'd really like to stay with the diet, but I can't seem to shake this queasy feeling. Feel like I'm going to overeat in order to avoid the feeling.
As I look at my diet over the last couple days, I see a pattern of starting with a high fiber meal, but then don't feel satisfied and eat something else, plant based but high glycemic index. I brought a healthy high fiber oatmeal with me to the hotel which I ate with lots of fresh blueberries and raspberries and topped it with a teaspoon of walnuts. I didn't have anything else at the hotel, so I ate a quarter of a Belgian waffle with a teaspoon of artificial pancake syrup. Ick. A couple hours later when I got to my parents house I was feeling queasy again. I made pinto beans, brown rice and steamed plantains. Was full. Didn't last very long. Later (queasy again), had a garden salad with spring mix, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and half cup steamed edamame. With a teaspoon of light raspberry vinegarette. And white French bread with no topping. Queasy all the time. Later that evening, had plain whole wheat cereal with plain unsweetened almond milk. Should have topped with a yummy fruit, but didn't. Hungry and queasy again. A little later, caved in and had a slice of Mrs. smith's cherry pie. Plant based, but certainly unhealthy. Sugar, partially hydrogenated stuff. Went to bed. Woke up hungry and, you guessed it, queasy at 2am again.
Is this what it's like and we just get used to it? Completely eliminate anything high glycemic? What foods are actually going to keep me satisfied?
Where are my cheese and crackers?
I'm normal weight, athletic, female, early 40's. Overall, quite helalthy. Probably pretty high metabolism. I tend to burn 2200 - 2600 calories a day. And not pregnant (felt i had to put the disclaimer in since I'm queasy so much).
My family has a horrible history of heart disease, strokes, cancer and diabetes. I love the idea and taste of a plant based diet. The foods appeal to me. Any ideas?
Try hummus and crackers instead of cheese - the chickpeas provide protein and fiber. Also, make sure the crackers themselves are whole grain (not saltines or Ritz type).
Eating every few hours is not a bad thing, once you find out what pattern works for you. For instance, I plan out my day such that I have cereal with plant milk for breakfast, then about 2 1/2 hours or so later (halfway between breakfast and lunch), I have a piece of fruit or hummus/crackers or the like - basically the 'other half' of breakfast. Then lunch. Then another snack midway between lunch and dinner. Then dinner.
Nut butter on whole grain toast, hummus on crackers, baked tortilla chips and bean dip (beans slightly mashed up plus salsa and maybe a bit of avocado if you have it). One of my 'fall back' options even in the evening is cereal with a little dried or fresh fruit and nuts with plant milk - it's simple, we've always got some kind of cereal on hand, and it settles my stomach without making things go crazy glucose-wise (provided I keep to the portion size that I know is right for me).
Thank you for the combo items - protein and fiber. I'm going to stock up. I love hummus!
oh, also, you can make something akin to tuna salad by using cold chickpeas (for a creamy hummus, the chickpeas need to be hot when you process them). Pulse the cold chickpeas a couple of times in a food processor (or blender I suppose). Then add whatever you'd put into a tuna salad or egg salad - a vegan mayo, some mustard, chopped onion, celery, carrot, what-have-you. Or, you can look up recipes to make a vegan mayo-like dressing (it's really pretty easy - plant milk, oil, whir in blender, add vinegar and a touch of sweetener to balance it, a pinch of salt and maybe some dried herbs like basil or oregano, continue whirring until you've got a creamy emulsion).
You can also sprinkle a bit of salt or nutritional yeast onto chickpeas and eat them cold like peanuts. Or, roast them to make a slightly crunchier snack.
On my real active days, you know the ones, leaving the house before six and not getting home until after 10 at night. I'll put about a tablespoon of chia or hot basil seeds in my bottle of water.
The seeds plump up and hold a lot of water forming little water bubbles around the actual seeds. The seeds are tiny, smaller than sesame seeds. You can carry 3 or 4 servings with you easy. I still have my regular vegan plate of goodness, but on "those" days...it's a nice supplement.
I've used 3 servings in a day and had good results. They don't flavor the water and most of the time you can't even tell you're drinking them except the ones that might stay in your mouth after swallowing. I like "popping" em.
I'm not diabetic but I suspect menopause plays with my chemistry sometimes. I think it also helps me stay balanced on those days I'm feeling off. I call it my real energy drink. Maybe it could help you too.
Wow! Thank you to you both for the bubble chias and chickpea "tuna" salad.
The chickpea salad is really good. Where can I find the chia or hot basil seeds?
I get my hot basil seeds at an Asian market close to me. I get my chia seeds and organic soybeans online.
I've used chia seeds before. My favorite use for them is chocolate chia seed pudding. What are "hot basil seeds"? Do they have flavor (hot) or are they bland like chia seeds?
I discovered hot basil seeds at the Asian market. I couldn't read the package but the picture on front looked like my chia drink so I bought them thinking maybe was the same thing. They also are called Thai basil seeds.
In my research I found out that hot basil seeds originate in Asian and Chia seeds originated in South America. I find it fascinating how two different continents developed the similar product for humans to eat so far apart from each other.
They both get that gelatinous quality and have similar nutritional value. Although with the increase of popularity of chia seeds cost more, the basil seeds are still really inexpensive. So don't tell anyone...LOL
Hope this helps.
My son reminded me of a rosewater drink with basil seeds in it that we have purchased at Phoenicia Specialty Foods in Houston. It's the only place I've have been able to find it but the basil seeds in it are probably what you're describing. I'll have to check the Chinese food store we frequent for the basil seeds.
I was born in Houston and now live in California. My wish is you find them easily.Let me know....
I lived in California years ago. Would love to go back sometime.
Wow! Sorry that you aren't feeling well.
I must say that I've never been hungry since switching to this way of eating. Well, I guess if I'm hungry I just keep eating : )
As to Chia seeds, I find them right in my local CVS drugstore or at the local health food store.
I've never tried putting them in water. The bubble thing sounds kind of weird, so I don't think I will. I put them in my veggie salad every day. Once it's mixed up I don't even know they are there, but I add them for the nutrients and fiber.
I hope the queasy feeling and hunger pangs will subside for you.

Anita, I finally made a trip to the Chinese market. Yes, the basil seeds are inexpensive compared to chia. I made a chia fresca drink with them which was pretty good.
I'm amazed that two seeds originating on two different continents share so many similar nutritional qualities. If this isn't proof we need to be eating a plant based diet, I don't know what is. I'm fascinated by this, just blows me away. Glad you found them.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Copyright Trolls
Despite at least five smackdowns by federal judges, copyright trolls are still accusing Internet subscribers of "negligently" allowing someone else to download porn films without paying. Last week, subpoena defense attorney Morgan Pietz fought back by asking the Northern California federal courts to put all of the open "negligence" cases filed by a prolific troll firm in front of a single judge - a judge who already ruled that the "negligence" theory is bogus.
Today, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a district court order imposing sanctions on Evan Stone, attorney for adult film producer Mick Haig Productions, who improperly issued subpoenas without leave of court to ISPs seeking the identities of anonymous subscribers in a mass end-user copyright infringement case.
When Google released its new Copyright Transparency Report on takedown requests of its Search results, we got new insights into the massive number of complaints the search giant receives. We also saw that there are many requests that don't seem to meet the standard of a "good faith belief" of infringement. Google said in the report that it refuses to comply with requests that are obviously inaccurate or intentionally abusive, which accounts for about 3% of the total. While Google deserves to be commended for that example of good citizenship, they can't catch everything.
In an important ruling for free speech, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit today affirmed that a parody of a popular online video called "What What (In the Butt)" (NSFW, unless you happen to work at EFF!) was a clear case of fair use and that the district court's early dismissal of the case was correct.
Lino and Mario Bocchini, creators of the Brazilian parody website Falha de São Paulo, are currently appealing a court order that froze their domain two years ago. In September 2010, Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo filed a lawsuit against the Falha seeking financial compensation for mimicking their layout and copy-editing, and also for "moral damages" to its reputation as a news organization. While the financial indemnities were dropped, Falha's domain remains frozen for unauthorized use of Folha's intellectual property.

Learn about the Protein Concentration Determination by the Bradford Assay
Bradford Protein Assay
Protein Concentration Determination by the Bradford Assay
A simple procedure for the determination of protein concentration in solutions is the Bradford protein assay which was described first by Bradford (Bradford et al., 1976).
An estimation of protein concentration is essential to be done rapidly and accurately in many fields of protein study. The Bradford assay has become the preferred method for quantifying protein in many laboratories. This technique is simpler, faster, and more sensitive than the Lowry method. Furthermore, when compared with the Lowry method, it is subject to less interference by common reagents and nonprotein components of biological samples.
The Bradford assay relies on the binding of the dye Coomassie Blue G-250 to protein.
Detailed studies indicate that the free dye can exist in four different ionic forms for which the pKa values are 1.15, 1.82, and 12.4. Of the three charged forms of the dye that predominate in the acidic assay reagent solution, the more cationic red and green forms have absorbance maxima at 470 nm and 650 nm, respectively. In contrast, the more anionic blue form of the dye, which binds to protein, has an absorbance maximum at 590 nm.
Thus, the quantity of protein can be estimated by determining the amount of dye in the blue ionic form. This is usually achieved by measuring the absorbance of the solution at 595 nm.
The dye appears to bind most readily to arginyl and lysyl residues of proteins. This specificity can lead to variation in the response of the assay to different proteins, which is the main drawback of the method. The original Bradford assay shows large variation in response between different proteins. Several modifications to the method have been developed to overcome this problem.
However, these changes generally result in a less robust assay that is often more susceptible to interference by other chemicals. Consequently, the original method devised by Bradford remains the most convenient and widely used formulation. Two types of assay are described here: the standard assay, which is suitable for measuring between 10 and 100 µg of protein, and the microassay, which detects between 1 and 10 µg of protein. The latter, although more sensitive, is also more prone to interference from other compounds because of the greater amount of sample relative to dye reagent in this form of the assay.

Quinoa is an amino acid-rich (protein) seed that has a fluffy, slightly crunchy texture and a nutty flavor when cooked. It is available in most local health food stores year round.Most commonly considered a grain, quinoa is actually a relative of leafy green vegetables like spinach and Swiss chard. It is a recently rediscovered ancient "grain" once considered "the gold of the Incas."

Community Sanitation Overview:
The City of Saxman is located on the west side of Revillagigedo Island, two miles south of Ketchikan on the South Tongass Highway. Water for the community is derived from a reservoir, then treated and stored in a 128,000-gallon tank. The city operates a Class 2 water treatment system, a Class 1 water distribution system, and a Class 1 wastewater collection system. System classifications are determined by the State of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Water based on the type of components found in a treatment plant and the number of connections served by water distribution and wastewater collection systems. All homes in Saxman are fully plumbed. While the majority of wastewater is treated at a public treatment facility with an ocean outfall, a few homes utilize individual septic tanks. Refuse is collected by a private company and disposed of at the Ketchikan landfill and electricity is provided by Ketchikan Public Utilities.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
In January, Juneau RUBA staff conducted an on-site elected officials training as requested by the Saxman City Council, which is the water utility's governing body. The training, covered a day and a half and was also attended by four staff and council members of the Organized Village of Saxman. A total of 13 were in attendance. Training topics included RUBA, water utility sustainability, authority, responsibilities, effectiveness, meetings, parliamentary procedure, Alaska Statute Title 29, municipal code, ordinances and resolutions, Open Meetings Act, conflict of interest, and other topics as requested throughout the training. The topic of municipality classification was also addressed, as the city is considering reclassifying from a second class city to a first class city. Remote assistance was also provided this quarter with questions regarding executive sessions.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
The City of Saxman continues to meet all of the RUBA assessment's essential indicators and nearly all of its sustainable indicators. In the coming quarter, RUBA staff will continue to monitor the management of Saxman's utilities and provide guidance in the proper codification of Saxman's utility ordinances. RUBA staff will also notify the community regarding upcoming training opportunities and begin to plan the week long training that Saxman will be hosting for RUBA in May for Personnel Management.

Finances Comments
The FY13 budget was approved and signed and submitted to the Division of Community and Regional Affairs as required for receiving community revenue sharing. The budget is comprised of three separate, independent budgets for the city's general fund, the water and wastewater systems, and the municipality-owned and operated Saxman Seaport. In each budget, projected revenues are equal to proposed expenditures. The water and wastewater budget identifies revenue from water and wastewater service charges separately from other sources of revenue, such as NSF fees, late payment fees, and checking account interest. The utility's 38 associated expenditure categories, which include operator wages, payroll taxes, workers compensation insurance, chemicals, testing, utilities, licensing, travel, and maintenance costs, are separated from all other operations and expenses of the city. Having a separate utility budget allows the city to ensure that revenues generated from user fees are sufficient to cover all utility-related costs. For FY13, the city proposed spending $128,904 to provide water and wastewater service to the community. The FY13 budget appropriately includes all associated utility expenses with comparisons to the previous fiscal year's actual figures. The city has approximately 70 customers receiving piped water and wastewater services. Those customers are divided into residential customers who pay a combined, uniform flat rate of $65 each month ($45 for water service and $20 for wastewater service) and commercial customers who pay a flat rate of $375 each month ($225 for water service and $150 for wastewater service). These rates are reviewed annually by the city council and were last adjusted in 2009. To keep the council informed of the utility's financial position, the city's finance officer prepares monthly profit and loss reports that compare actual month-to-date and year-to-date amounts with the revenue and expenditure figures originally budgeted. The reports also clearly indicate the percentage of funds already used in each line item and the dollar amount for the remainder of the fiscal year. The council often does a budget amendment in mid-fiscal year if needed. Ketchikan Public Utilities provides electrical service to the City of Saxman. RUBA staff reviewed eight service statements and found that the utility is current in paying all electric bills.
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.

The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
Utility billing statements are sent out to customers on or around the 26th day of each month. The statements include the customer's name and address, the amount due for water and wastewater services, previous statement balances, late fees, net balances, and the due date. Accounts are considered past due if customers do not pay their bill by the 15th day of the month following the statement period. Customers have the option of submitting their payments by mail, in person to the finance clerk during business hours, or by placing it in a secure drop box in the front of city hall at any time of day. Additionally, the utility can receive customer payments by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit cards. The credit card payment surcharge is not passed on to any specific customer, but rather is folded into the overall administrative expenses of the utility. The finance officer reports that the majority of customers pay by cash at city hall. The city has adopted and actively enforces an effective collections policy. In accordance with the ordinances adopted by the city council between 2002 and 2009, past due customers are first mailed a delinquency notice reminding them to make their payment. If payment is still not received by the 25th day of the month, a 10 percent late fee and a $10 door notices posting fee is assessed. RUBA staff have advised the city that this charge is in excess of state statute. Past due customers who have not signed a repayment agreement (which can include the voluntary assignment of Permanent Fund Dividends) within 90 days are referred to the Ketchikan Credit Bureau for collections and are disconnected from service. According to the utility's aged trial balance account summary, only two utility customers are in disconnected status and approximately 11 percent of customers are more than 90 days past due. Frey accounting software is used for utility billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll. This software encompasses three integrated modules: the Cubic utility billing and control system, the Chips payroll system, and the Bucs general fund accounting system. The finance officer has reported that together, these systems are sufficient for the utility's accounting needs. The software subscription includes 24-hour live technical support, which the city can utilize for operating assistance when needed. Customer payments are first manually entered into a triplicate receipt book that records the customer's name and address, the date, the payment amount, what the payment was for, the form of payment, and who received the payment. Payment information is then recorded in the computerized accounting software. The software can clearly identify which customers are current in their payments and which are 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days past due. The utility's cash disbursement system consists of a detailed and logical chart of accounts with 10-digit account codings, a purchase order process, and a check register. Purchase requisitions are first submitted to the finance officer who verifies funding availability, approves the purchase, allocates the purchase to a specific area, and assigns it the proper account code. The finance clerk then drafts a purchase order which must be signed by either the finance officer or the city administrator. The finance officer reconciles the city's bank accounts on a monthly basis. RUBA staff has received up-to-date copies of the city's general account, water/wastewater account, payroll account, and credit card account reconciliations. The separate credit card account is set up to receive credit card payments received for utility and seaport services. The city then transfers deposits made into this account to the appropriate enterprise fund.

The utility has a probationary period for new hires that includes orientation, job training/oversight, and evaluations.
The utility provides training opportunities to staff as needed and available.
Personnel System Comments
All city employees are covered by an Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association (AMLJIA) workers compensation insurance policy. The FY13 policy is effective from July 1, 2012 to July 1, 2013. It covers work-related accidents and occupational diseases up to the Alaska statutory limits for each occurrence. Proof of coverage is posted in all areas of employment, including city hall, community hall, and the water treatment plant. RUBA staff verified that the city is current in its payments to AMLJIA and that adequate funds have been allocated in the city budget for payments over the remainder of the fiscal year. The city implements a well-established personnel management system with the city administrator and the city council's personnel committee continually reviewing personnel matters. A personnel policy handbook was formally adopted by the city in 2005 and is required to be read by every employee. The handbook covers a broad range of topics, including recruitment, selection, the hiring process, transfers, promotions, under-fillings, demotions, work hours, pay, benefits, leave, holidays, career development, conduct, grievances, and performance reviews. The personnel policy also requires a 90-day probationary period for new hires in which an employee is provided orientation and is closely observed by the supervisor. At the end of the probationary period, copies of a performance report completed by the supervisor are to be given to the employee and filed in the employee's personnel file. The city council amended this provision by ordinance on April 27, 2011, to explicitly exempt elected officials from the probationary period in accordance with recent recommendations by a Public Employees Retirements System (PERS) auditor. Chapter IV, Section 1 of the City of Saxman Personnel Policy requires that formal utility employee performance evaluations be conducted not only at the end of the 90-day probationary period, but annually. The city administrator/clerk does keep the personnel committee apprised of all personnel-related issues, though annual written performance evaluations are not completed. Comprehensive written job descriptions have been adopted by the city for each utility operator and clearly define position titles, certification requirements, supervisors, qualifications, work hours, and duties. These job descriptions are included in the utility staffs' personnel folders, along with I-9s, W-4s, new hire packets, copies of certifications, and disciplinary warning memos. The city continues to budget for and provide training opportunities to utility staff as needed and available. The city administrator/clerk has attended personnel management, business administration, financial planning, and municipal clerk training courses and is active in the Sanitation Deficiency System (SDS) program. The city's finance officer has attended the following 32-hour RUBA management trainings: Financial Management for Rural Utilities; Clerk Management for Rural Utilities; and Planning Management for Rural Utilities. The utility operators are consistently provided the opportunity to undertake certification trainings and examinations and remain in contact with Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) engineers for on-site training with new equipment.

Organizational Management Comments
The City of Saxman owns and operates the community's water and wastewater systems. Ordinances giving the city the necessary authority to operate these systems have been adopted, though they have not been properly codified into a cohesive utility chapter of the municipal code in a number of years. The city council is Saxman's policy-making body. The council holds regular meetings as required by Title 29 on the third Wednesday of each month. To comply with the Open Meetings Act, the city consistently posts notice of each meeting at least five days in advance at the city hall, the tribal office, the seaport, the South Tongass Service building, and the Cape Fox Corporation building. Meetings are also advertised in the Ketchikan Daily News and on three public radio stations. Each notice indicates the type of meeting to be held, as well as its location, date, and time. The city council is active in policy-making for the utility, as evidenced in the six months of council meeting minutes reviewed by RUBA staff and the eight years of utility-related ordinances passed by the council. The meeting minutes show that the council is provided with utility manager reports, briefings on ongoing utility upgrade projects, staffing and financial issues, training requests, and concerns of the public. The utility's rate structure and collections policy are reviewed annually and have been adjusted on five occasions since 2002. Provisions within the collections policy are strictly enforced; customers are assessed late fees, referred to collections, and disconnected from service as required. City residents are barred from elected office until all municipal debts have been paid, in accordance with the collections policy. The city administrator/clerk functions as the utility manager. She has worked for the city for approximately four years and is appropriately trained to oversee the day-to-day operations of the utility. She provides written monthly reports to the city council and holds staff meetings with the utility operators each Monday. The city's finance officer oversees the utility's financial and accounting systems. The finance officer has worked for the city for approximately two years and has significant financial experience from the public and private sectors. The State of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Water has rated Saxman's water treatment system at the Class 2 level based on the plant's various components. The city's water distribution and wastewater collection systems are rated as Class 1; this level being determined by the number of connections served. The city's primary operator holds the following endorsements: Water Treatment, Level 1 - Expires December 31, 2013; Water Distribution, Level 1 - Expires December 31, 2013. The secondary operator holds certification in: Water Treatment, Level 2 - Expires December 31, 2013; Water Distribution, Level 1 - Expires December 31, 2012; Wastewater Collection, Level 1 - Expires December 31, 2013. The city utilizes an organizational chart that clearly indicates levels of authority and the relationship between supervisors and subordinates.
Operation of Utility
Essential Indicators
The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification.
The utility has a preventative maintenance plan developed for the existing sanitation facilities.
Sustainable Indicators
The manager receives a monthly O&M report from the utility operator and routinely "spot checks" the facilities to see that the maintenance items are being completed.
The utility has a safety manual and holds safety meetings.
Utility facilities have not suffered any major problems/outages due to management issues that are unresolved.
The utility is operating at the level of service that was proposed.
The operator provides status reports to the manager on a routine basis.
The utility has completed and distributed its "Consumer Confidence Report".
The utility is not on the "Significant Non-Complier" (SNC) list.
The utility maintains an inventory control list.
The utility maintains a critical spare parts list.
Operation of Utility Comments
As noted in the Organizational Management section, the utility operators are adequately certified at the classification level of the city's water treatment and distribution systems. The primary operator successfully advanced his provisional wastewater collection certificate to a Level 1 endorsement this year. The back-up operator is also actively preparing to take a Level 2 water treatment examination. Both operators continue to meet continuing education requirements and receive on-site training and assistance from Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) engineers. The city completed an upgrade of its water treatment facility with the assistance of ANTHC in May 2011. A preventative maintenance plan is included in the operations manual for the new facility's equipment. While the utility does not maintain a formal safety manual or hold standardized safety meetings, resources explaining general safety practices such as lifting and common workplace hazards are available. The utility manager also meets at least weekly with the operators, makes routine spot checks of facilities, and receives verbal reports from utility staff addressing any issues of concern, including safety topics. The utility has annual fire safety inspections and is considering the installation of protection fences around its fuel tanks. Saxman's sanitation facilities have not suffered any major outages due to management issues and continue to operate at the proposed level of service. The utility was also successfully able to submit one quarter of water quality tests without elevated levels of disinfection by-products (DBPs), which allowed the utility to be removed from the Environmental Protection Agency's Significant Non-Compliance (SNC) list. The utility continues to distribute its Consumer Confidence Reports that have included a boil water notice since December 21, 2006. The community's water system uses surface water, which, if inadequately filtered, may contain disease-causing organisms. Because the filtration system that was in place over the last several years did not meet the Surface Water Treatment Rule, the utility issued recommendations in accordance with DEC requirements that customers boil their water for at least two minutes before drinking. That notice listed the date of notice distribution, the state water system identification number, and a description of the potential adverse effects from drinking water that has not been boiled. The utility operators reported to RUBA staff that the last boil water notice was sent out on April 30, 2011. Further notices have not been necessary since the upgraded treatment system was brought online in May. Though the operators have kept some critical spare parts on hand, they have not maintained an inventory control list or a complete critical spare parts list for the old treatment system. The operators did, however, receive a collection of other spare parts with the completion of the new treatment system and the utility operators will work with ANTHC staff to develop necessary parts lists relevant to the new equipment.

Laura is currently a Nurse Team Manager at Clinica Family Health Services. She immigrated to the United States when she was 25 years old, after a childhood full of struggle in Mexico City, and she worked tirelessly to learn English and get an education. She learned first-hand the opportunities education affords, and early on, she was inspired to pursue nursing as a way to help others just like her to seek out the services they need to lead healthy and happy lives. And she uses her skills as a nurse to help people outside of her workplace as well. While in nursing school, she was elected to serve as Secretary for the Colorado Student Nurses Association, tasked with providing a voice for Hispanic nurses and increasing awareness of medical needs for the Hispanic population; after graduation, Laura continued to volunteer her time for the organization. She currently volunteers for the Juan Diego Parish Health Fair, as a tutor for Hispanic nursing students, and as a mentor for Hispanic teenage girls at DPS's Florence Crittenton School. Laura is actively involved in her church and started a volunteer care network to help members of her congregation in need of home care, and is especially valuable as the only bilingual nurse at the church. Stemming from her own love of the outdoors, she leads a weekly hiking group on the weekends that incorporates health-related discussions around topics that are relevant to the group. Laura has a passion for educating people in the community and making them aware of what they can do for themselves and their families, just as she has done for herself and her family.

Demand inclusion and respect in Indiana.
It's official. The Governor of Indiana has signed a law that makes it legal to discriminate against the LGBT community in the Hoosier state, a place that's home to the NCAA and to major sporting events every year.
With the Final Four happening in a state that will away fans just because they're gay, help us demand #Final4Fairness

Gonzaga is one of a handful of colleges in the West that offers the opportunity to study Italian language, culture and literature to undergraduates. The Italian Studies Program at Gonzaga University prepares students who want to make the most of their experience in the Gonzaga-in-Florence program and become fluent in Italian. Beginning Italian classes are popular among freshmen and sophomore students. Upper division classes are normally small and students receive much attention from their professors. Students in the Gonzaga-in-Florence program who are also Italian Studies majors often fall in love with Italy and want to go back after graduation. There are opportunities for them to do so. Graduates with a good level of fluency can hope to work with American companies interested in the Italian market.

Hypoglycemic Health Association of Australia - The Hypoglycemic Diet
What is known as the hypoglycemic diet should really be called the Natural Diet. This is the diet that humans have consumed over the millions of years to which our digestive system has adapted. The Natural Diet is natural to the individual only and may be different from one person to another. Nordic European people who have consumed milk as part of their diet in their ancestry may have better tolerance to cows milk, than those people whose ancestry was not exposed to that kind of milk as in Asia or Africa. Southern European with a long history of alcohol consumption are more tolerant of alcohol than people for whom alcohol was never part in the hereditary diet, such as Australian aborigines.
Furthermore, this natural diet has to take into account quirks of inborn genetic disorders such as gluten intolerance as in coeliac disease, Crohns Disease, or Ulcerative Colitis.. These may well be hidden behind the mask of hypoglycemic symptoms.
The best plan is to ask yourself what diet your ancestors ate and you dont even have to go back to very ancient times; think of your grand-parents. Think of what people ate in the 19th century without the sugar.
Whatever diet you finish up with, you must choose a diet that you enjoy. By choosing a diet that you do not enjoy called force-feeding - you may not produce the first necessary enzymes in the saliva as a first step in digestion.
Probably the hypoglycemic diet differs from the natural diet in that the number of snack per day are increased.
In brief the nutritional treatment of the hypoglycemic condition consists of:
1) Avoidance of sugar, coffee, strong tea, nicotine if possible, refined carbohydrates, such as white bread, white rice, cakes and sugary drinks, candy bars, colas, cookies, ice cream sweetish fruits such as bananas, grapefruit, melons, honey and dates (these fruits may be reintroduced at a later stage in moderation) etc.
2) High protein + complex carbohydrates snacks every three hours or sooner, to provide a slow release of glucose, and to prevent the hypoglycemic dip. A high protein breakfast must be considered the most important meal of the day. High-protein foods, such as fish, eggs, chicken, and beef, contain all twenty-two, including the nine amino acids that are considered essential for humans. Source Plus animal fats that are also essential for good health. Eat plenty of green vegetables and fruits and the more varied the diet the better it is.
3) Supplementation of diet with Anti-stress vitamin B-Complex tablets, including vitamin B6, B3, B12, chromium picolinate, magnesium, zinc + Vitamin C, and fishoil (omega-3 fatty acids), vitamin D. For a fuller list of nutrients, deficiency of which can be responsible for mood disorders see: R Hemat, 165 See 6 studies in support of omega-3 fatty acids for Depression and Bipolar Disorder. See also Rich Rich Sources of Nutrients. Also make sure that the mineral sulphur MSM is included in your diet See: Dr Jospeh Mercola on Sulphur.
4) Other supplements that could slow down the absorption of glucose (thereby avoiding blood sugar peaks and the release of stress hormones) are: Psyllium Seeds Husks (1 tbsp per day), Glucomannan including pectin (follow instructions on bottle), Grapefruit and Cinnamon. Also see Herbs with Hypoglycemic Effects at: Research Evidence for Hypoglycemia
5) Avoidance of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) GMOs is having a dramatic influence on our health especially on our digestive system responsible for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohns Disease, Autism, Allergies etc etc. See 59 min video.
The Hypoglycemic diet aims at normalizing blood sugar levels, thereby normalizing stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, that are thought to be responsible for the symptoms of mood-swings, depression, anxiety, phobias, alcoholism and drug-addiction.
Such a diet needs to be adjusted to the individual needs and nutritional biochemistry. It needs to take into account the influence of allergies.
Furthermore, it should be realized that the beneficial effects of the hypoglycemic diet may take considerable time. If drugs or medications has been used it may take a year for damaged neuro-receptors to be repaired by a high protein diet. (Volkow ND et als. 2001). Normally, the effects of this diet is noticeable within three months. If after this time symptoms still persist, it is time to seek the help of a clinical nutritionist or nutritional doctor for further testing, diagnosis and treatment.
As a rule of thumb ask yourself: Is what I am eating nature-made of man-made? Nature-made food consists of complex carbohydrates and proteins, the kind of food we were meant to eat.
Try to introduce the diet slowly and gradually. A strict hypoglycemic diet may cause you to feel worst at first, because your are left with low blood sugar levels. This would last a week or so.
These symptoms can be alleviated by taking a tablespoon of GLYCERINE mixed in milk or in a diluted natural fruit juice three times day (ratio of 20 mls of glycerine to 285 mls of water) ). GLYCERINE, which can be considered a general anti-stress remedy, is metabolized in the liver before it is converted to energy, so it does not stimulate excess insulin secretion from the pancreas. An other alternative sweetener is FRUCTOSE, which is also metabolized in the liver into glucose. But excess fructose will be converted to triglycerides. But generally fructose should also be avoided.

But what I'd really like to know is how they can allow/instruct a child actor to get so close to a bare breast that it really does look as if he's being breast-fed? Is it not embarrassing for the actress and for the child? And would the child actor's parent or guardian (who presumably must be on set) not object to it?
It certainly makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Unless the child is the actress's son in real life?
Any Aussies out there got a clue, as I don't watch The Slap.

Chevy's Caprices, Biscaynes, and Impalas embodied everything that was great about America. These cars offered full-sized American value with glamorous shapes designed by pens and emotion, not by committee. Big chrome bumpers and stadium-sized interiors rested on a rugged full frame to offer a sublime and assured ride that could handle any roadway that came across its cast-iron path.
In the early 1970s, full-size cars were still selling briskly despite the temperamental OPEC situation that often relegated larger cars to the used car lots and the bottom of resale value charts. To meet the demands of its customers, in 1977 Chevy introduced an allnew downsized Caprice/Impala set on a shorter 116-inch wheelbase. In a move to improve fuel economy and ef-ficiency, the new car was offered with a 305ci V-8 rated at 140 horsepower, choked by a Rochester two-barrel and a pellet-style catalytic converter. But as the Caprice and most every other GM car during the 1980s began to lose market share to the imported competition, GM felt the traditional Caprice of yesteryear needed a radical makeover.
In a rather bold maneuver, Chevy prewent for a completely new concept with its replacement and put a rounded silhouette onto its full-framed chassis from model year 1991-96. Gone were the chrome bumpers and traditional styling cues. In their place came urethane bumpers, higher-quality interiors, and later on, LT1 power. Sales went into the toilet. The jellybean shape never caught on with anyone except those responsible for taxi and law enforcement fleet sales. The conventional Caprice buyer no longer paid attention. By the mid-1990s, the damage was already done, and in 1996 the last of the great ones rolled off the assembly line.
Still, these cars have their loyal, faithful fans. To find out what all the hoopla was about, we decided to pound the pavement in search of a "bubble" B-body for some real-world driving impressions and dragstrip thrashing. Our search soon steered us toward the police sedans equipped with the 9C1 police package.
After about a month of looking, we found a relatively clean '96 Caprice 9C1 from a friend who once roamed the Midwest with the Iowa State Highway Patrol. With 115K on the clock, it had faithfully served with no major issues, as the well-maintained example had no record of accidents or major failure, and was delivered to our office doors for $3,000 even. The seller even included the nifty spotlight on the driver-side door.
To Race A Caprice Is To Love A CapriceLooking at the spec sheet, the Caprice had a few things working against it for optimum dragstrip performance. The curb weight, at 4,085 pounds (with a half tank of fuel and the spare tire removed), was somewhat of a surprise. We figured that the stripped-down Copper would weigh less than 4,000 pounds, but we couldn't do anything about it and moved on. Based on previous experiences with these cars, we expected the factory 260hp LT1 to catapult this double-row sofa on four wheels into the mid-15s. But to our surprise, the first pass netted us 15.251 at 91.11 mph with a 2.22 short time. Certainly not bad for our 88-degree test day, but we knew there was more in it.
The first order of business was a trackside exhaust system upgrade. By replacing the factory cat-back and its four mufflers with a larger, freer-flowing Edelbrock system, we were able to benefit from the system's 2.5-inch mandrel-bent pipes all the way to the tailpipes. Also, the sound that we now had bellowing from the rear of our Caprice was more befitting of an American V-8 icon rather than a plebian civil service vehicle.
Back on the strip, the cat-back was worth .217 seconds, as our timeslips dipped to a 15.037 at 91.45 mph from our previous best of 15.251 at 91.11 mph.
