Citizens to TECO: Bury power lines
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
The city of Tampa is negotiating a new franchising agreement with the local power company, Tampa Electric. But the Sierra Club and other parts of the community want to delay approving a new 25-year agreement until TECO can adopt measures such as providing more progressive energy sources and installing underground power lines.
Tampa resident Darren Booth is upset with the current franchise agreement between the city and TECO. He said he has helped develop transmission lines in both the U.S. and Austrailia.
The issue has become more heated in South Florida, particularly after Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 knocked down lines and cut power for days in the community.
The Palm Beach Town Council late last year passed an ordinance that would have the state Legislature call for all Florida utilities to have a schedule to bury power lines.
In 2002, TECO estimated it would cost $10-million to convert about 2,500 homes and 200 businesses on Davis Islands to underground lines.
After hearing from the public, City Councilman Charlie Miranda said he was not opposed putting electric lines underground, but he had questions.
Citizen Jennifer Wilman said the city should re-up their contract with TECO for just five years, not 25.
The City Council voted to have a staff report on what to do with the next TECO contract and discuss it on March 20. They will hold another public hearing on TECOâs new franchise agreement on April 3.comments powered by Disqus

Discussion in 'Steelhead' started by Dan Nelson, Jul 13, 2012.
just curious, with or without snyder creek?
BOOM!!! Good post!
All fish counted spawning naturally after March 15 are counted as wild steelhead spawners, which could include any stray Snyder Creek fish. In any event, they would be a small percentage of the total.
The greater problem is the fairly credible report (from a former biologist or technician) of Quilayute Tribal spawner surveys being doctored a few years ago to reflect higher spawner counts than were actually observed.
What? Tribes cooking data? Unheard of...
Bob Triggs, you make some interesting points but don't I'm not sure what prompted that last paragraph. There were actually relatively few people on this thread who seemed to be expressing opposition to the boat ban because it would crimp their style of "flyfishing" (i.e., nymphing from a boat). I read more people inferring that this is a disguised effort to get the gear guys off the water, which in reality may not be a legitimate criticism but you have to admit that this proposed regulation is certainly susceptible to that inference. Also, some posters expressed legitimate concern that a regulation of this kind is going to concentrate people in those areas (which on some rivers are relatively few) that can be effectively fished by foot.
Finally, why is someone nymphing with a fly rod by definition any more of a "duffer" or otherwise less of a person than someone fishing gear from a boat (or swinging flies for that matter)? I've nymphed for steelhead from a boat a few times and although I infinitely prefer swinging flies while wading, I have decided it is not entirely as easy as I assumed it was before trying it. (And based on even more limited experience fishing gear from a boat, I have to say that gear fishing is quite a bit easier than nymphing with a fly rod). Is the prejudice towards flyrodders who nymph really based on a history of unethical behavior from that segment of the angling community? I know when I'm wade fishing I instinctively react negatively to anyone fishing the same water with fly gear and beads or yarnies (more so than gear even!), but objectively I have to admit that is a reaction that is borne of my own person biases about the "best" methods for fishing for steelhead. Granted, I don't spend nearly as much time on the water as you, but I can't really recall any instance where nymphing flyfishers behaved in the ways you are describing (other than maybe hooting and hollering a bit when they hooked fish but that is behavior that is not limited to that segment of the angling community). I will admit that I get frustrated by seeing people doing laps and repeatedly dead-drifting nymphs, beads, and yarnies through the same holding water - but gear anglers do that too (and much more effectively!) and I don't run into it that often because (surprise!) almost all the guys I've run into have been gracious enough to just keep rowing through water that I'm fishing. Taking boats off the water isn't going to necessarily eliminate that behavior (which a meaningful segment of the population obviously believes is an honest method of angling no matter what you or I may think). Depending on the particular piece of water, it would make it harder for a guy who's nymphing with a fly rod, but a guy fishing gear can pound the same water pretty easily on foot - he just may have to buy a pair of waders to do it! And it may just drive more flyfishers to take up centerpinning, which for some reason that hasn't quite sunk in with me seems more "upscale" to the fly angling community than fishing conventional gear.
I do like your idea of restricting fishing to a certain number of days per week (but think it would be best if the tribes' nets are out of the water at least the same days that sports cannot fish) because that would offer refuge to the fish without making a value judgment on whether one particular way of fishing is right or wrong. Oh, and we're way past due for eliminating harvest of any wild steelhead!
Having rivers only open for a few days a week is the dumbest thing I've heard. It would create a gold rush mentality much like the halibut fishery on the North Coast. If you enjoy limited fishing on even more crowded streams it would be a dream.
The halibut fishery is not a model we should be following.
And this thread lasted a long time before the inevitable "nymph vs. swing" crap surfaced. It is too bad because it diminishes the real issues.
Agreed Chris - especially considering most folks are out to C & R and aren't heading to the ramp after their limit, there is none.
Reg changes like these may not solve much but they are a start. What fascinates me is how separated the steelhead fishing community is on the issues we all want the same results from. The WSC probably lost a bunch of support from this and I think it is a good wake up call for them.
It seems like fish conservation groups walk a tight rope between what's best for the fish and losing members and support. I thInk if you actually read their proposals and their reasoning people might view these regs differently.
The separation is natural. While we are all allies in the abstract, realities such as harvest, hatcheries, bait fishIng, barbless hooks, etc do separate us.
The Deschutes river has the same rule and you need a boaters pass to float the river. Seems like that river is doing alright. Jet boats can't run up and down the river every day either. Why would it be a bad idea for some washington rivers? Washington has plenty of water for everyone to fish, it's the lazy fisherman that annoy me.
Some people want to rearrange the deck chairs.
So said the newly appointed Puget Sound Partnership Director, of broader Puget Sound recovery, but very apt.
The proposers of these rule changes have the best interest of the fish at heart I believe, which is something I've been advocating for years. I applaud their work and hope it continues. I like the idea of the Skagit being a wild Steelhead management zone and the selective gear rules and catch and release for trout on all P.S. rivers, as well as the mandatory hatchery retention. The O.P. rivers are the last best hope for wild Steelhead in the state and we need to protect them before it's too late, no matter how we choose to fish for them.
yeah.\,, what he said
How does guide licensing work in this state?
It's like buying a fishing license.
Thats what I thought, thanks for the confirmation.
Like what bkerbs said above, the Deschutes limits the number of boats on the water and you can only fish from the bank. It's a gorgeous fishery and a very clean river -- at least the sections I've fished. Seems like a good compromise to me.
fished the Klick this weekend,,, if was running clear and more crowded than I have ever seen it... looked like the Wilson in January...
Maybe we should close it; just stop fishing for Wild Steelhead entirely, Close all of the rivers and let them recover for a few decades, Concentrate on restoration of habitats and water quality, Emphasis on enforcement. Have a nice boat ride!
Bob, not sure if you are being serious or not. Some of the previous 6 pages includes examples of rivers that have been closed for sometimes 10 or more years without any significant increase in the population. So there is no guarantee that merely closing rivers indefinitely will cause the recovery we are looking for and probably won't have the desired effect we want. In the meantime, anglers begin to lose faith in closed rivers and often anglers are the ones safeguarding the river and looking out for its best interest. Also, if you take away the lowest impact to the resource without addressing the larger impacts, your net gain is negligible and you simply just lost recreational opportunity without any of the benefits it does have. While simply closing rivers seems like a logical choice and you can make the argument that you have to start somewhere, there are many better options available to us than just closing down the river completely.
Yes like reducing our impacts (boat ban). Too bad soo many people are so stubborn about not losing their rights to fish however they please that they would rather just destroy the resource completely than give just a little so we all can continue to enjoy it.

Lesley King from Norwalk, OH
Nominated by Shannon Reardon
I am recommending Lesley King, who is a Physical Therapy Assistant at Memorial Health Care System for Parkinson's Superstar. In the summer of 2009, Lesley approached me about what she thought was a great need on our community, for a Parkinson's disease support group. This is a disease that Lesley is very passionate about and has spent a great number of education hours learning about this disease. After much hard work on Lesley's part the support group had its first meeting in November of 2009, with 15 people attending. Over the last two and ½ years the group has grown to over 40 individuals. Lesley works to bring in a guest speaker to each meeting every other month to discuss topics that pertain specifically to Parkinson's disease.
Since initiating the Parkinson's support group, Lesley has looked to better herself in the understanding of this disease by attending a Tai-Chi for balance, fall risk reduction, rehabilitation courses, relearning kinesio treatment for Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders, the LSVT BIG training and certification, the current trends in rehab of individuals with Parkinson's disease & Delay the Disease exercise class in 2010.
With her certification for LSVT she initiated a Parkinson's program in our clinic during 2011. She obtained her certification of Delay the Disease trainer and participated in the 14th annual Parkinson's disease symposium to market and educate people on the programs that we at Memorial Health Care System are able to offer for patients with Parkinson's. She was responsible for bringing the Train the Caregiver seminar to the Fremont area in August 2011. The first Delay the Disease exercise group was started in September 2011 with 20 members. We are in currently in our third session of Delay the Disease group.

AS Rwandan Christians today join the rest of the World in celebrate Christmas, religious leaders have called on the public to celebrate the festive season with joy but avoid situations that might negatively affect them and others.
They warned that during Christmas and New Year celebrations, some people tend to get overexcited, often engaging in reckless actions that might make the festive season lose its meaning.
The Archbishop of the Anglican Church, Onesphore Rwaje, said that Christmas celebrations should reflect the joy that came with the birth of Jesus Christ.
"This is the time we must remember the birth of our savior Jesus Christ; therefore in whatever we do, we should bear in mind what the Bible tells us; we should also endeavor to live in harmony with our neighbours," said Rwaje.
He said Christmas comes with joy, love and happiness.
Citing the book of Luke, chapter 2:13-15, Rwaje said that happiness should be based on the expectation of changing lives for the better, forgiveness and repentance.
He also called for responsible celebrations.
During this year's Traffic Week, police said that although the number of accidents on the road had reduced compared to cases registered last year, accidents during festive seasons are normally higher than on other days.
This was largely attributed to drunk driving. Religious leaders have joined police in warning against the habit.
Ezron Byiringiro, the president of seventh day Adventist church (SDA), said that they also celebrate Christmas but they don't celebrate it December 25 because they don't believe Jesus was born on that day.
"Yes we know that Jesus was born and died because f our sins, and we even preach to believers to remember Jesus Christ, but we don't have a specified date he was born."
Mufti Abdul Karim Gahutu, the head of the Muslim Community in Rwanda, said that although their religion does not celebrate Christmas, they also benefit from peace and love that characterize Christmas.
He also explained that dangers that might transpire during the celebrations can easily affect any person irrespective of their religion.

The decision to remove fluoride from Hamilton's water supply has divided opinion, with dental experts describing it as "disappointing".
Hamilton City Council voted seven-to-one to remove the chemical yesterday, joining a growing number of communities choosing to reduce or eliminate fluoridation.
While anti-fluoride campaigners have applauded the decision, dentists worry children and the less fortunate will suffer.
"It's a disappointing decision for public health in New Zealand," said Dr Julia Peters from the College of Public Medicine.
"Fluoridation of community water supplies is safe, it's effective, it's economic, and everybody's oral health benefits," she said.
What do you think of fluoridation of public water supplies? Have your say below using your Facebook login.
Fluoride is already in the water and in the food we eat, said Dr Peters, and the Government-recommended doses of fluoride simply top up the levels to be sufficient to have health benefits.
It strengthens tooth enamel and prevents tooth decay, she said.
"In combination with a number of other strategies, it is an extremely powerful tool to improve and protect the oral health of our population."
But Fluoride Action Network spokeswoman Mary Byrne said fluoride was a poison and shouldn't be in public water supply.
"It was a bit different years ago, when fluoridation was introduced, because people thought it was a nutrient, but nowawdays we know there's no bodily requirements for fluoride and it doesn't even reduce dental decay by swallowing it."
Twenty-two of the country's 67 councils sill add fluoride to their drinking water and anti-fluoride campaigners are vowing to continue their battle.
"While there's questions about the safety of fluoridation, its not good enough to continue. They need to stop it, and not reintroduce it at all, until they can guarantee safety for everyone," Byrne said.
"It's just adding a chemical, a toxic substance, to people's drinking water without their consent."
Hamilton City Council made its decision to remove fluoride based on what it heard during submissions, Dental Association board member John Boyens said, but he didn't agree with it.
Young people and those with less money would be hit by the decision, he said.
"I think the people who don't have a choice in the matter, which are the children whose teeth are forming, they are the ones who in the long term will suffer."
Dr Peters agreed. "The people who have the worst diets who can least afford to go to the dentist... they will suffer the most... particularly children."
Fluoride will be removed from Hamilton's water supply by June 21.

Video: Web extra: Teen reads winning essay on bullying
Video: Web extra: Mother of scholarship winner talks about bullying
CLEVELAND -- Gabrielle Jones, a senior at Martin Luther King Jr. High School, spent years being tormented by her classmates.
Through the support of her family and her own determination, Gabrielle vowed not to let the bullies defeat her.
Her strength and will to share her story won Gabrielle a $50,000 scholarship from the Maltz Museum's "Stop The Hate" essay contest.
Gabrielle sat down and shared her story with Channel 3 Anchor Kris Pickel.
"Growing up, I was always bigger than my peers," Gabrielle explains.
Childhood can be difficult. For Gabrielle Jones, it was torture.
"I was friendless because no one wanted to hang out with the fat girl."
Gabrielle's pain is reflected in her writing. She writes, "During recess, the kids would ask me to be their horse and they would push me on the ground."
The taunts didn't stop at the school playground but continued on the ride to and from school.
"Kids would throw candy wrappers and Debby Cakes on my seat and tell me to eat it. Every day I would come home and run to my room and cry my eyes out," Gabrielle said.
Thankfully, Gabrielle isn't suffering anymore.
An essay on bullying earned her a $50,000 college scholarship. Her writing isn't just about the pain. It's also about her focus and the inner power she found once she hit high school.
"I was not going to allow myself coming into an adult to be a victim of hatred and bullying," she says.
So motivated, Gabrielle joined the NAACP and was even elected Student Council Vice President.
She talks about battling back the forces that were forcing her down.
"I found I had a voice and it's very powerful," Gabrielle explains.
She also credits her parents, especially her mother, who was also bullied earlier in her life.
"Never retaliate. It's just not worth it. Don't retaliate. Pray."
To other children and teens suffering from bullies' torment, Gabrielle says, "Don't give up. Never give up. You are all unique as fingerprints."
Gabrielle plans to attend law school, and eventually become a judge.

Community Sanitation Overview:
Residents currently haul water and deposit honeybucket waste in bins. During the summer, water is derived from Big Clear Creek and is treated and stored in a 1,000,000-gallon and 500,000-gallon steel water storage tank. There is a central watering point at the washeteria, distributed from the tanks via plastic pipelines. A reservoir is planned in order to alleviate winter water shortages. DEC has approved the landfill for use, although it is not permitted. Refuse is collected by the city from central bins. Electricity is provided by Alaska Village Electric Cooperative. The City of Stebbins has been working with the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC), the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC), Kawerak, Inc. and the Division of Environmental Health and Engineering to develop a community development plan addressing 'possible solutions to supplying year-round piped potable water and wastewater disposal to the community of Stebbins and a recommendation for the funding of those solutions.' According to the Stebbins Community Development Plan released in April 2010, the city council accepted a four-phased water and wastewater construction plan.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
On October 11, 2011, Nome RUBA staff met with Chris Kiana, Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) specialist, to discuss the water and wastewater utilities in Stebbins. RUBA staff also provided election assistance to the community in October. On November 15, 2011, Nome RUBA staff traveled to the City of Stebbins to meet with members of the city council and present the results of the onsite RUBA management assessment, a requirement for a projected grant-funded sanitation project. The community has been working with ANTHC and the Division of Environmental Health Engineering to build a piped potable water and wastewater disposal system. One of the obstacles to beginning the construction phase is the city's non-compliance with the essential indicators of the RUBA management assessment. The mayor invited RUBA staff to address the RUBA assessment and ways to implement utility management practices that will improve the public utility's ability to provide safe drinking water and wastewater practices. The presentation covered each unmet essential indicator. RUBA staff proposed the city council implement a work plan with specific tasks and time frames based upon the written RUBA assessment. The council and mayor wish to increase the city's management capacity in order to run the current and future public utilities as efficiently as possible. As a result, the mayor signed a RUBA assistance agreement and Nome RUBA staff. During the November visit, Nome RUBA staff worked with the city clerk and city administrator on developing comprehensive monthly financial reports showing the year-to-date level of revenues and expenditures. The city council has been receiving monthly financial reports generated by QuickBooks Pro 2010; however, such statements do not show the year-to-date financial picture of the city and its utilities. As a result the city council's ability to oversee the financial resources of the city may be hindered and the financial status of the city may not be understood as clearly as it should be. In addition, RUBA staff demonstrated to city staff how to interpret and present such reports to the city council at the regular monthly city council meetings. Moreover, city staff learned how to draft informative agendas and council meeting journal. City staff also learned about types of meetings, agendas and minutes, contents of the meetings, guiding principles in writing, drafting and recordkeeping of the mentioned documents. Nome RUBA staff spent a good portion of time looking at the collection practices and proposed a few collection strategies to city staff. For many years, the city and its council have not enforced the collection policy, and the end result has been a historically low rate of collections (about 8% for garbage and wastewater). Nome RUBA staff drafted three types of delinquent letters, discussed the plan to follow while aggressively targeting the issue of collection. Among the options discussed were sending out two delinquent letters, follow up with a phone call, encourage customers to sign a deferred payment agreement which may include paying with funds from the permanent fund dividend. Nome RUBA staff requested utility and city staff to provide monthly financial reports, tax and collection reports and monthly city council meeting minutes. City and utility staff provided RUBA staff with meeting minutes and tax reports. No financial and/or collection reports were provided. The city clerk provided Nome RUBA staff with a draft organizational chart and requested the chart be reviewed. The city clerk completed the RUBA sponsored 32-hour Organizational Management for Rural Utilities course in November 2011.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
Nome RUBA staff plans to travel to the City of Stebbins in the second or third week of February 2012 to discuss with the city council a short-term and long-term action plan to resolve the outlined issues in the RUBA assessment, including but not limited to creating year-to-date monthly financial reports, utility manager's report, seeking ways to balance public utilities budgets, increase the role of the city council in overseeing the operation of the water and wastewater public services etc. Nome RUBA staff will work with the city administrator and the city clerk to find ways to resolve the problem of collection. Nome RUBA staff will assist the city council in adopting a comprehensive utility ordinance. Nome RUBA staff will also begin working with city staff and the city council in a complete revision of the Codified Ordinances of Stebbins.

Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.
The utility has on hand a year's adequate fuel supply or it has a financial plan to purchase an adequate supply.
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources) sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources sufficient to cover operating expenses and Repair & Replacement (R) costs.
YTD revenues are at a level equal to or above those budgeted.
YTD expenditures are at a level equal to or below those budgeted.
A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comments
The Stebbins Water Treatment System FY12 budget is included in the overall city budget. As a whole the city budget is balanced. However, the utility budget is not balanced. The projected revenues of the system are $55,000 and the projected expenditures are $85,574, leaving a $30,057 deficit. While all expenditures are listed in the utility budget, there is no budget line in its budget or the overall city budget showing how the city is going to cover the deficit. City staff stated that the city council uses the Norton Sound Economic Development Community Benefit Sharing funds and State of Alaska Community Revenue Sharing grant to compensate for the deficit. The rest of the public utility enterprises will also operate with a deficit this fiscal year. For instance, the honeybucket service shows a deficit of $24,735, and the washeteria deficit is $4,392. The combined deficit indicates that the public utility budgets do not reflect the fiscal reality of operation, maintenance and management of the public utilities. The monthly financial reports are sporadically presented at the regular monthly meetings of the city council. The monthly financial reports do not show the year-to-date revenues and expenditures or the year-to-date balance. Without such information, the city council's and staff's ability to monitor the soundness of the financial situation is hindered. According to the accounts payable, the utilities are current paying all related bills. The utilities have sufficient fuel to operate this fiscal year. Utility staff stated that when the utility is in need of repair or replacing parts, the city council reviews the request and allocates the needed funds. Since the utility does not produce monthly financial reports comparing the year-to-date revenues and expenditures to those budget, it is difficult to assess whether the utility's revenues and expenditures are equal to those budgeted. Nome RUBA staff was not provided with monthly manager's reports.
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.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
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
Nome RUBA staff found an ordinance dated March 11, 2000, which briefly discussed on two pages the services provided, fees for services, customer base and billing and collections. However, city staff and utility employees did not seem to know of the local written rules and regulations regarding public utilities. The current ordinance needs to be amended because parts of it are out-of-date and do not apply any longer. Section 4 of the Ordinances (Ordinance 00-03-07-01) writes that 'bills will be sent to customers by the tenth of the month for the current month, and are due by the tenth of the following month.' The same section of the ordinance writes that 'any customer who is three months or more overdue in payment is encouraged to sign an agreement with the city to bring the account up-to-date within six months from the date it became overdue.' The section continues stating that 'any customer who refuses to make such agreement or fails to abide by it is subject to action in Small Claims Court, at the option of the city.' In contrast to the Ordinance only eight percent (8%) of honey bucket residential customers' accounts are up to date. According to the August 23, 2011 QuickBooks Customer Balance Summary statement, some customers have not made any payments since 1988. The utility only recently began to bill customers on a regular basis. The utility uses QuickBooks to track customers and report past due accounts and amounts. A QuickBooks Pro 2010 accounts payable is in place. Some errors were detected in calculating payroll taxes, however, the utility calculates and keeps records of the payroll payments. A cash receipt system is in place. According to city staff, the city writes a receipt for any income received and a copy of every receipt is kept in a sequentially numbered permanent receipt book. The QuickBooks chart of accounts is in need of revision.

The utility is current on filing tax reports.
The utility is current on making tax deposits.
If there are any past due tax liabilities or recorded tax liens, a lien release has been issued or a repayment agreement has been signed and repayments are current.
Tax Problems Comments
City and utility staff use QuickBooks to calculate, track and report payroll tax liabilities. As of December 27, 2011, the Internal Revenue Service's Taxpayer Advocacy Office reported that the City of Stebbins and its public utility services are in compliance with federal tax filing and deposit requirements. No recorded notice of federal tax lien against the city and its utilities has been located. The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development confirmed that all state tax payments are current as of December 27, 2011.
Personnel System
Essential Indicators
The utility has a posted workers compensation insurance policy in effect.
Sustainable Indicators

The utility provides training opportunities to staff as needed and available.
Personnel System Comments
The City of Stebbins has a worker's compensation insurance policy with the Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association (AMLJIA) valid through June 30, 2012. This is a comprehensive insurance which covers work-related accidents and occupational diseases as per the Alaska Statutes. Proof of coverage is posted in the city office. The city personnel policies revised in 2004 apply to all employees of the city. The city office has adequate written job descriptions for all city positions. The utility uses a written personnel evaluation process outlined in Chapter 75, Section 7 of the Stebbins Code of Ordinances. The hiring process is also described in Chapter 75. Every city employee has a well-organized personnel file, which contains such documents as employee's original job application, reports on employee's work performance, disciplinary actions, etc. However, Nome RUBA staff found that not all employees have I-9 forms in their personnel files. The utility provides orientation, job-training, oversight and performance evaluation. The utility also provides outside training opportunities. For example, the city administrator attended a Financial Management for Rural Utilities training in Nome in April 2011.
Organizational Management
Essential Indicators
The entity that owns the utility is known; the entity that will operate the utility is set.
The policy making body is active in policy making of the utility.
The policy making body enforces utility policy.
The utility has an adequately trained manager.
The utility has an adequately trained bookkeeper.

Sustainable Indicators

Organizational Management Comments
According to Chapter 30, Section 3 of the Stebbins Code of Ordinances all existing and proposed water tanks, piping systems and facilities are owned by the City of Stebbins. According to Chapter 30, Section 2 of the Code, 'the City Council of Stebbins shall oversee operation of this department,' and 'the council shall adopt rules, regulations, times, and days of uses of water department facilities.' However, the code of ordinances does not contain the rules and regulations regarding the management and operation of the Stebbins Water Treatment System. The Stebbins City Code was last time codified on May 21, 1984. Nome RUBA staff found an ordinance dated March 11, 2000, which briefly discussed on two pages the services provided, fees for services, customer base and billing and collections. However, city staff and utility employees did not seem to know of the local written rules and regulations regarding public utilities. The city council currently plays only a minor role in the policy making of the water treatment plant, washeteria and some of the wastewater systems operated by the city. The regular meeting minutes of November and December 2011 briefly mentioned the water treatment plant; however, no other reports were presented to the city council, like monthly financial reports indicating year-to-date financial standing of the public utilities in the city. The utility does not have a utility bookkeeper but the city administrator and city clerk share the accounting and financial record keeping responsibilities regarding all public utility services. The city administrator acts as the general manager of all city departments. The utility has an adequately trained operator.
Operation of Utility
Essential Indicators
The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification.

Operation of Utility Comments
The Stebbins water treatment system has a peak day design capacity of 10,000 - 50,000 gallons per day. The water supply source is derived from a surface water supply, Clear Lake, located about four miles from the city limits. The system uses a single unit bag filter as well as granular media to filter the raw water. The system uses hypochlorite to disinfect the water and then stores it in a water storage tank. The water treatment plant employs a primary water treatment operator. Currently, the operator holds a Water Treatment 1 certificate with an expiration date of 12/31/2011. The operator stated that he will take an exam at the local school before the current certificate expires. The utility has a preventive maintenance plan at the city office, but there was no copy of it at the facility. The water operator showed a water usage form which listed the housing units, and the school, and clinic which all use piped water service connections. The school and the clinic have an arctic box. The reports did not appear to be produced on a monthly basis. The operator provides verbal status reports to the city administrator on a routine basis. The water treatment plant has completed and distributed its Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). As of July 2011, the utility is not listed on the most current Significant Non-Complier List. Although the water operator indicated that the city administrator and city council allocate funds when the utility needs critical spare parts, the utility does not maintain an inventory control list or a critical spare parts list.

The treaty will require countries with coal-fired power plants such as India and China to install filters and scrubbers on new plants and to commit to reducing emissions from existing operations to prevent mercury from coal reaching the atmosphere.
The deal also includes measures to reduce mercury use in small-scale gold mining, although stopped short of an all-out ban. Gold prices near $1,700 a tonne have spurred the use of mercury as a catalyst to separate gold from its ore.
The legally-binding agreement aims to phase out many products that use the toxic liquid metal such as batteries, thermometers and some fluorescent lamps, through banning global import and exports by 2020.
Countries failed to agree on including vaccines where mercury is sometimes used as a preservative.
As mercury, also known as quicksilver, is released to the air or washed into rivers and oceans, it spreads worldwide, and builds up in humans mostly through consumption of fish. The brains of foetuses and infants are particularly vulnerable to damage from mercury.

SOFTWARE released by Microsoft only four years ago will not cope with the date change from 1999 to 2000, the company says. Microsoft is still testing some of its products to discover the effect of the millennium bug, but many older programs will never be tested.
Older versions of Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 cannot cope with the date change. Microsoft has posted some software fixes on the Internet, but the company is still investigating the full extent of the problem.

An illegal problem ? Sounds as if you're talking about drugs, maybe not but I'll go with that. Drugs are a choice, and therefor that guy doesn't make good choices, and if one is werid.. he can grow out of that, or you could maybe change him ? I wouldn't go with the illegal problem guy. He sounds like trouble. Also, if they both have searious quilties that you don't like.. then maybe you shouldn't go with eather. There are alot of fish in the sea, I'm sure you'll find some with a problem or a personality issue.

It sounds like both aren't really the best choice for you or what you want in a guy. From experience, I can tell you that dating guys with illegal problems can be just as difficult as dating wierd ones. For instance, it sucks if they go to jail (for however amount of time) and then what about you? Its not fun waiting around for someone who cant give you what you need (love and companionship) when theyre locked up. Its also very lonely and while other guys want to get with you (if you're a good girlfriend at least) you will have to turn them down to be with an invisible man (or at least thats how it feels). I mean all you have is letters and if you're not above 18 then you cant even visit them. If you are, its not like you see them everyday anyway, visits are limited and long distance relationships are hard to keep especially when you're young. If you truly love him, then Im not saying dont be with him, but if youre not sure if you even love him dont even waste your time because its not worth it. Be his friend until hes legit. It also doesnt help if you dont agree with what hes doing or find it morally wrong and no justification in it. The worst thing though, is yes while you are young, its all good and dating guys who are into illegal stuff doesnt really matter too much at the moment because youre not yet worrying about real life. The only responsibility you have at that time is mainly school and thats if you even go. Nonetheless, I dont want to be a hypocrit because practically up to 18 (thats when I got serious about life and the consequences that it can have) I was independently doing my own illegal activities (not prostitution if that was what you were thinking:0) as well because I was really poor and saw easy money, but it didn't mean I was a bad person at heart even though some of things I did were bad. But, I can honestly say Im the nicest most honest person now and what I did in the past does not make me who I am now. So, I did change and now Im in college and working legitimitely so I can make a lot of money in the future legitimately. So, there is an opportunity (if your ex is smart) that he will change too. HOwever, if he doesnt it sucks because past 18, your ex is only looking at jail time at some point, death, or turning legitimate but with no schooling he is going to be making minimum wage if he can even get a job with his record. I was lucky because I straightened up before 18 (mostly) and my record was erased. Now Im free and clear but who knows if that will be the case for your ex. I know many guys that used to have a lot of money and power, be into their bussiness (if you know what I mean) and now theyre either dead, or working minimum wage, in jail, or continuing what theyre doing but in the end it all catches up with you. SO, my point is, do you really want that? A boyfriend in the future that Your going to most likely have to support and be the bread winner, or do you want someone who is just as successful as you will be and can take care of himself. Its harder when you get older becuase now you have bills to pay, and an idea of a life that you want to have and if he is holding you back from that, chances are your relationship is going to go down hill. The only way he could be successful if he continues on with what he is doing with his own life is to save his (illegal money) and if he doesnt get caught in time then he should open a business in something he is interested in and would profit from legitimately but that might not be an option for him so unless he goes back to school, he's not going anywhere in life. Now, on the other hand, if you think your boyfriend that you have now is wierd, then youre keeping yourself from finding a true companion and love because you can't truly love someone you think is wierd. You should ask yourself in both cases, if you could picture yourself marrying them, if the answer is no or you struggle with the idea, then you're really wasting your time with useless guys when the man of your dreams is waiting for you to find him out there somewhere. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. They obviously both dont have enough value in your life and as a love if you cant decide between them...well, If you were really in love there would be no question who you want and there also would be no option for any other to be in the picture, the one that you truly love is going to be the one that your heart truly wants to be with...and if you dont love both of them...then find someone you do love and are content with in every way possible:) Sorry so long, i tend to talk a lot:) but I hope I helped your situation and I know words are easier to say than do and its always hard leaving the familiar and finding the unknown, but if the familiar isnt making you happy, the unknown is always worth it and is so much better in the long run. Good luck!

Rwanda's ICT innovation is quickly gaining momentum due to the fact that some young technology graduates are actively engaged in software applications thanks to kLab innovation centre.
The government, through Rwanda Development Board (RDB) plans to set up an ICT park that will host a collection of technological investments including training, industries, research and development, which is in line with supporting technology innovationkLab, an open technology hub for IT entrepreneurs located at Telecom House in Kacyiru, provides a platform for developers, IT enthusiasts and interested parties of a growing ICT community to collaborate and innovate.
The innovation centre has formally unveiled its flagship pioneering ICT projects such as crowd funding (eNkunga), Kigalicc app, 'sarura', and unified school system.
The software applications have been developed and implemented by some of its startup IT innovators.
"These software applications have been developed to address the enormous community needs by providing easy access to relevant information. We are proud that our start-ups are bearing fruits with the successful implementation of big innovations in the Rwandan ICT sector as kLab tenants," Claude K. Migisha, the General Manager of kLab told The New Times.
He stated that the growing kLab community is also made of experienced mentors who provide both technical and business assistance to needy members.
kLab also hosts events, workshops, bootcamp, hackathons and networking sessions to promote partnerships, investment and financing.
Migisha further noted that the innovative mobile web applications represent kLab's contribution to address Rwandan community needs through embracing and proper usage of the open space for collaboration and innovation.
At the kLab, IT enthusiasts passionately work on applications, and their mission is to see the hub become like the famed Silicon Valley of the USA.
Silicon Valley is home to many of the world's largest technology corporations, like Miscrosoft, Google, Facebook and HP, as well as thousands of small innovative start-ups.
Migisha said that kLab's mission is to promote, facilitate and support the development of innovative ICT solutions by nurturing a vivid community of entrepreneurs and mentors.
The Unified School System web application developed by Jean Pierre Habinshuti, an ICT entrepreneur, will help promote the Rwandan education system through facilitating parents to effectively participate in the education of their children. The application is available and accessible to all schools in the country.
"There has been a major problem of lack of standard student progressive report form, so this application will help parents use a unique source comprising a serial number and document authenticity tracking tool to access their children's report forms," explained Habinshuti.
Kigalicc app, developed by Spiderbit Limited, is a free mobile web application that will run on all mobile devices and tablets will enable visitors to Rwanda to access all information regarding restaurants, hotels, entertainment places, taxis and a dictionary, to facilitate them effectively learn and communicate in Kinyarwanda with just a click.
As for 'eNkunga' it is a crowd funding project developed by Zilencio Creativo limited, winner of the best start-up award 2012 in the Startup World competition for the most innovative project.
"eNkunga was conceived following a need to finance individuals and organisations who find the traditional means of financing their ventures too taxing and discouraging," said Ara Nashera, the Director of Zilencio Creativo.
Nashera stated that regarding transforming lives in Rwanda, "we can only attribute that to the projects we are yet to see as we shall start with kLab members' projects and then other project owners."

Whatever good intentions were behind this prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 classic, the sloppy execution renders them moot. Residual goodwill from the, ahem, original remake rapidly dissipates as this degenerates into a slack bug hunt, the characters differentiated only by how poorly written or acted they are. Added to which, it's a riot of badly designed cartoonish digital FX. Even for empty calorie thrills, this is not up to scratch.

Long before Alex Anthopolous was handed the reigns to Canada's Major League franchise, a different type of boss was at the helm.
On November 11th, 2001, J.P Ricciardi replaced former Ticket Agent, Gord Ash as the GM of the 80-82 ball club. A ball club that at the time was managed by none other than Buck Martinez.
Ricciardi had made a name of himself working under Moneyball whiz Billy Beane and was brought in to the Blue Jays organization in hopes of being able lower payroll while increasing the talent on the field similar to the work he had been involved with in Oakland.
During his tenure with Toronto, Ricciardi made his share of moves. Some worked out well for the club and some were questionable at best.
Questionable: Alex Rios.
During the off season of 2007, rumors surfaced regarding a proposed trade between the San Francisco Giants and the Toronto Blue Jays. They Giants were looking for a "Cornerstone" type of Outfielder that they could build around… If you don't remember these rumors, here's a refresher.
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2007/12/rios-for-cain-o.html Ouch.
In April of 2008, Rios was inked to 7 year, $69,835,000 contract after hitting .297 with a career high 24 Home Runs and his 2nd straight All Star selection.
Perhaps the pressure of playing up to the massive contract got to the young Outfielder as his numbers would begin to decline following the deal. On June 4th 2009, Rios would go 0-5 in a 6-5 loss to LAA… All of his outs were recorded via the Strikeout. He was on waivers by August.
Maybe you remember hearing about this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt9hRCthV8E
Other shaky decisions include the Albatross of a contract handed to Vernon Wells, the B.J Ryan fiasco, Russ Adams and who could forget how J.P let (arguably) the greatest Blue Jay to ever wear the Toronto uniform walk away following the 2004 season? Yes, I am still bitter about the way Carlos Delgado left Toronto.
It would be unfair to Riccairdi if I left out the positives he accomplished while running the club.
Under J.P, the Blue Jays drafted players such as Shaun Marcum, Marc Rzepcynski and Aaron Hill, who's break out season in '09 will go down as one of the best single season efforts by a Blue Jay 2nd Baseman in team history.
It 's worth mentioning how Ricciardi facilitated a trade that sent out power armed Billy Koch in return for future Rookie of the year, Eric Hinske. Koch would have a career year in 2002 but find himself out of baseball by '05. Hinske would go on to hit 66 Home Runs during his 5 seasons with the Blue Jays.
A nucleus of J.P's "Guys" still call Toronto home. Names such as Jesse Litsch, Eric Thames, Adam Lind, Travis Snider, J.P Arencibia and Casey Janssen have all found success at the big league level and are still with the club as of 2012.
August 13th, 2008 and July 31st, 2009. These dates were unquestionably the finest days of J.P's career at the helm of the Blue Jays.
Following a demotion to AAA, a relatively untested 3rd Baseman / Outfielder was traded to Toronto for Catching prospect Robinzon Diaz. In Diaz the Pirates picked up a Catcher who had hit for average in the Minors while providing steady defense.
The 3rd Baseman / Outfielder picked up by the Blue Jays was Jose Bautista.
I don't need to go in to the details about how Bautista has been the Blue Jays best player over the past 3 seasons… I'll let his record setting 7,454,753 All Star votes do the talking.
In 2009, Riccairdi sent Scott Rolen to Cincinnati for Zack Stewart, Josh Roenicke and a raw power hitting 3rd Baseman by the name of Edwin Encarnacion.
Stewart would later be flipped to Chicago in the deal that brought Colby Rasmus to Toronto, Roenicke was put on waivers only to be picked up by Colorado and Encarnacion would stick with the team,
Despite his struggles with the glove, Encarnacion would show flashes of Ruthian like strength over the next couple of seasons. This strength parlayed itself into a 1 year contract with Toronto for the 2012 season.
As of Friday, Bautista and Encarnacion have combined for 48 Home Runs making them the most potent 1,2 punch in the American League. Not to be forgotten, Arencibia has hit 10 Round Trippers putting him in 4th place among AL Catchers in that category.
It's a shame how Ricciardi never got to stick around and see some of his moves pay off for the club in the later years however Anthopolous is no slouch and is doing a great job of turning this team back in to a contender… While cleaning up some of J.P's mess in the process.
Sure J.P had his ups and downs while with Tornoto. Sadly, in sport, fans tend to dwell on the negatives rather than search for the positives when it comes to remembering former GM's and J.P Ricciardi is no exception when it comes to his time with the Jays.
Following his departure from Toronto, Ricciardi signed on with fellow Moneyballer Sandy Alderson down in New York.
How about those Mets this season?

If I remember correctly, Alex was a LaCava guy… LaCava was a Ricciardi guy. That being said, I too remember reading that Anthopoulos played a key role in the deal as well.
Dave, I started reading it last week. Great book. Not going to lie, it gave me some motivation to write this blog.

Dabigatran Offers Alternative to Warfarin
Dabigatran is an alternative to warfarin to help prevent dangerous blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation, according to guidelines from the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association and the Heart Rhythm Society.
Dabigatran is useful as an alternative to warfarin to prevent stroke and blood clots in patients with either paroxysmal (recurrent episodes that stop after seven days) or permanent (an on-going episode) atrial fibrillation. It is also useful in patients with risk factors for stroke or blood clotting who do not have a prosthetic heart valve, significant heart valve disease, severe renal failure or advanced liver disease.
Warfarin, an anticlotting drug used since the 1950s, requires patients to have regular testing to monitor its effectiveness and dosage adjustment.
In December 2010 the atrial fibrillation guidelines said that a combination of aspirin and clopidogrel might be considered to prevent stroke or other types of blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation who are poor candidates for warfarin.
