Sierra Vista Herald, Justin Levesque/Associated Press
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) � Four weeks ago, Karen Sayers received a phone call that, in her words, �changed a lot of things.�
If not for the response of local EMS personnel and the quick and knowledgeable actions of two of Buena High School�s athletics staff members, the events leading to that phone call could have ended very differently.
The afternoon of Nov. 5 started like any other Monday for Sayers� daughter, Savannah Sayers, which meant she was out in the sports fields with her softball teammates.
�We were running around the track for conditioning,� the sophomore said.
What happened next is fuzzy for Savannah, but crystal clear for those around her.
�I was told I just kind of collapsed on the ground,� she said.
Not far away, in the dugout, was Buena softball coach Mark Schaefer.
�I heard a little bit of a commotion, so I came out to see what�s going on. I saw one of the girls running down, saying that Savannah had a seizure,� Schaefer said.
After more than two decades of coaching student sports, Schaefer said he had seen myriad injuries and conditions. That knowledge helped guide his actions that afternoon, when he directed Savannah�s teammates to get his cellphone and call 911 while he made his way to the track.
At that point, she was still breathing.
�I sent the other kids after Woody and the nurse,� he said.
Wesley Wood, or �Woody� as she is known by students and staff members, has been the certified athletic trainer for Buena High School for the last four years.
An eventful week may see her dealing with ACL tears, ankle sprains or concussions, but this day would prove to be different.
�In 13 years of doing this I�ve never had this happen,� she said last week, when she and Schaefer were recognized by Savannah�s family and local first responders for their quick thinking that doctors said saved her life.
�I was up in the building, and two of the players came to get me. They said, �We need you out at the softball field,� that someone had fainted or fallen down,� Wood said.
When she arrived to find Schaefer and an unresponsive Savannah, she could already hear sirens in the distance, she said.
�911 had already been called, so I knew they were coming. I heard them, as a matter of fact, as I was performing CPR,� she said.
�When Woody got there, Savannah had already stopped breathing from what I can tell,� Schaefer said. �I had given a couple of rescue breaths. I could hear the sirens in the background, and Woody checked the pulse and started CPR right away.�
In the emergency medical service field, there is a phrase, �the chain of survival,� said Brian Jones, battalion chief of Sierra Vista Fire Department.
�Within that chain, there are certain steps that have to be taken in order to have a good outcome,� he said. Calling 911 and starting first aid immediately, and taking corrective action, such as defibrillating a patient who needs it, are vital in situations such as this one. �In this incident, it was a perfect chain.�
Sierra Vista Fire Department medical personnel would soon arrive and defibrillate Savannah twice before taking her to the Sierra Vista Regional Health Center, before she was airlifted to Tucson Medical Center.
Sayers said she was told the entire event, from the time her daughter collapsed, to the time she arrived at the hospital, would measure only about 10 minutes.
Last week, as she recalled the various meetings with doctors who would tell her things like only one in 10 people survive what her daughter had just went through, Karen Sayers told the two dozen or so friends and family gathered at the Buena softball field why the cardiologist had been so interested in the immediate care her daughter received when she first collapsed.
�He said, �because not only did she give it in a timely manner, but she gave it really well.� There was no damage to her heart and there were no signs of oxygen deprivation to her brain. He said that you saved her life,� she said, speaking to Schaefer and Wood.
After struggling to come up with an appropriate way to thank them, Sayers presented both with framed photographs of her family at Thanksgiving � �We had a lot to be thankful for this year� � and a photo taken while Savannah was still recuperating in the hospital and Wood and Schaefer had paid her a visit.
Below the photos was a message of eternal gratitude from a thankful family.
Soon after the incident, Savannah was diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome, which the Mayo Clinic describes as �a heart rhythm disorder that can potentially cause fast, chaotic heartbeats. These rapid heartbeats may trigger a sudden fainting spell or seizure. In some cases, your heart may beat erratically for so long that it can cause sudden death.�
Savannah, an athlete who played volleyball and basketball in middle school, would come to have an internal cardiac defibrillator implanted in her heart.
While her future in sports may be less clear these days, what is not is the appreciation she and her family have for those that saved her life.
�Thank you for knowing how to do your jobs and for responding so quickly, and for being the right people at the right time,� Karen Sayers said.
�Without a doubt, it�s a miracle. God took care of her, in all aspects, according to the way I see things,� Schaefer said. �Seeing her laying on the ground that day, to Friday when we went up there to see her, I just look at her and think, �What a miracle.��
In addition to the framed photos from the Sayers, Wood and Schaefer were presented with Life-Saving Awards from the Sierra Vista Police Department.
Battalion Chief Jones also presented the two with Challenge Coins, given out within the department to firefighters who go above and beyond the call of duty.
�It�s imperative that as citizens that we act, and on that day, Woody and Coach Schaefer acted, and acted in a way that really saved a life,� Jones said.

4 Opinions
forgot all about this program! looks like it's still the best option for comparing two folders. I've been using Singlemizer (because a client already had it) and dupeGuru (because I needed dupeGuru Picture Edition, and dupeGuru is covered by the same license) when looking for duplicate files --both because they return somewhat different results. When those searches show me that there are certain folders which have a large number of duplicates, I turn to diffmerge to see what's going on. Once I've trashed the offending folder(s) I rerun the duplicate finders, and have a much more manageable file list to deal with.
The file comparison works really, really well, better than a lot of expensive tools that I have tried. I keep coming back to DiffMerge even though the UI looks so simple and boring.
I sometimes use it in combination with VisualDiffer (Mac, App Store) or ExamDiff (Windows, Freeware) to get a more traditional look.
just discovered diffmerge, and it's really great. other, pricey, comparison apps probably do this to, but I like that it lets you have a whole bunch of folder comparisons open
Really great app, it's free and for the price it's much better than other commercial diff/merge apps.

OAKLAND -- An Alameda County Superior Court judge has struck the words "high-calorie, sugary drinks" from the wording of a Nov. 4 Berkeley ballot initiative that would tax the distribution of sweetened beverages, finding the term to be "partial and misleading."
Judge Evelio Grillo, in an order published Tuesday, replaced the ousted term with "sugar-sweetened beverages" in the ballot question of Measure D, which now reads:
"Shall an ordinance imposing a 1¢ per ounce general tax on the distribution of sugar-sweetened beverages (e.g. sodas, energy drinks, presweetened teas) and sweeteners used to sweeten such drinks, but exempting: (1) sweeteners (e.g. sugar, honey, syrups) typically used by consumers and distributed to grocery stores; (2) drinks and sweeteners distributed to very small retailers; (3) diet drinks, milk products, 100% juice, baby formula, alcohol, or drinks taken for medical reasons, be adopted?"
Measure D is a general tax that requires a simple majority to pass.
Grillo also substituted "sugar-sweetened beverages" in the city attorney's impartial analysis for what had been a reference to "high-calorie, low-nutrition products," and struck the qualifier "heavily" from a reference to presweetened tea in the impartial analysis.
But Grillo let stand a statement in the impartial analysis that the tax would be payable by the distributor, not the customer, over the objections of two petitioners, Anthony Johnson and Leon Cain. They contended that the statement, while technically true, was misleading, because the tax eventually would get passed along to the consumer.
In his opinion, Grillo noted that under the proposed ordinance, drinks with as little as two calories per ounce would be taxed; he questioned whether a voter would consider such a drink to be high-calorie.
The No on D campaign, which receives major funding from the San Rafael-based American Beverage Association California PAC, greeted Grillo's order as a victory, proclaiming in a news release Tuesday: "Superior Court finds Berkeley's Measure D Ballot Label Violates Election Code."
"The city's mess of a measure is not only misleading, it doesn't do what the proponents claim," stated No on D spokesman Roger Salazar. "There is no guarantee the funds will be used for nutritional programs and so many products are exempt that it makes you wonder if this is nothing more than an exercise in vanity."
But the nonprofit Ecology Center, a major backer of Measure D, saw Grillo's ruling in a different light, proclaiming in a news release Tuesday: "Measure D Holds Ground Against Industry-Funded Lawsuit."
"This lawsuit was an expensive tactic to bully Berkeley and distract from the fact that Big Soda's products are causing serious health epidemics in our community," Measure D supporter Eric Gorovitz says in the news release.
Sara Soka, campaign manager for the group Berkeley vs. Big Soda, said that "The language of the measure is settled and sound, and we are on a roll, picking up important community endorsements."

STOCKTON - A 59-year-old woman was in critical condition and not expected to survive Friday after suffering major injuries in a hit-and-run incident Thursday night, police said.
The unidentified woman was struck about 6:15 p.m. Thursday near Hazelton Avenue and Pilgrim Street, authorities said. Witnesses told officers the victim was stuck underneath the car that struck her, but the driver got out of the vehicle and pulled the victim from under the car before driving away from the scene.
The victim was taken to a hospital to undergo surgery. Doctors offered a grim prognosis, giving the woman a "low expectation of survival," authorities said.
At 10:33 p.m., officers responded to a call of a reckless driver near North California and East Miner streets. The vehicle matched the description of the vehicle involved in the earlier hit-and-run, police said.
Officers located the driver sitting behind the wheel of the vehicle. Felicia Atad, 39, was arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run resulting in death or injury, driving under the influence and driving without a license, police said.

Alabama paying $260M back to education fund
Bentley: Repayment can be attributed to better economy
Published: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 10:07 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said Friday the state is about to repay the majority of a big debt that has hung over his administration since he took office.
Rainy Day Fund
What it is: The fund makes money available from the state's trust fund for natural gas royalties.
How it works: The governor can release money to soften blows to education spending during tough times.
How it was depleted: During the recession in fiscal year 2009, Gov. Bob Riley used the entire $437.4 million from the fund to shore up the education budget.
Repayment: Gov. Robert Bentley came into office with the fund empty and a mandate to repay the money by Sept. 30, 2015. The state repaid $14.4 million last year. The state will repay $260.4 million around the start of the fiscal year.
The Republican governor said the state will repay $260 million to the Rainy Day Fund for public schools in the next few days. He attributed the repayment of 60 percent of the state's debt to an improving economy and conservative budgeting by him and the Legislature.
"More people are going back to work. Unemployment is down," he said.
Speaking to a road builders convention in Montgomery, he said Alabama's unemployment rate has dropped nearly 4 percentage points to 6.3 percent since he took office in 2011, and that is resulting in improved collections of taxes that support public schools and colleges.
The state Revenue Department reports that corporate income tax collections through August were up 10.5 percent from the same period a year ago. Individual income tax collections were up 6.2 percent and sales taxes improved 1.5 percent.
The Rainy Day Fund makes money available from the state's trust fund for natural gas royalties. The governor can release the money to soften blows to education spending during tough economic times. During the recession in fiscal year 2009, Gov. Bob Riley used the entire $437.4 million from the Rainy Day Fund to shore up the education budget. Even with that, education spending had to be cut 11 percent. Without the Rainy Day Fund, the cuts would have reached 18 percent.
Bentley came into office in 2011 with the Rainy Day Fund empty and state officials under a state law mandate to repay all the money by Sept. 30, 2015. The state repaid $14.4 million last year. Bentley said the state will repay $260.4 million around the start of the fiscal year on Tuesday. That is $55 million more that state finance experts thought would be available in the spring.
The repayment will leave nearly $163 million still owed. The governor said the state will be on time repaying the debt by the deadline.
Bentley, who is running for a second term, said some people encouraged him to raise taxes during the last three years to help generate more revenue and help with the state's financial problems, but he refused.
"We were determined we were going to get the state through this difficult time without raising taxes," he said.

Citywide Shootings Increase in 2014
The number of shootings and victims of gunfire each have increased more than 10% so far in 2014 when compared with the year-earlier period, according to New York Police Department crime data through June 8.
The number of shooting incidents across the city has increased 31.6% to 104 from 79, when comparing the 28-day period that ended Sunday with the same period last year. Overall, the number of shootings across the city has increased 10.7% to 434 from 392.
The number of victims of gunfire increased 43.3% to 129 from 90, over the same time frames, the data show. Overall, the number of shooting victims has increased 13.2% to 507 from 448.
After a promotion ceremony at police headquarters on Tuesday, Commissioner William Bratton said the increase was a concern but said he believes the spike is "temporary" and that crime is "going to go up at some point in time."
"So while any increase is always of concern, this one I believe is a spike, and a spike that we'll be able to respond to," he said.
Mr. Bratton said the increases are taking place in small pockets of the city, including public housing developments. The NYPD has beefed up the number of police at housing developments throughout the city in recent weeks and as a result, "that spike is beginning to decline," Mr. Bratton said.
The number of shootings in the city's public housing developments has increased 29.3% so far this year to 97 from 75, compared with the same period last year, NYPD data show.
In the most recent 28-day period, shootings at housing developments increased to 18 from 15 in the same period last year, the data shows.
Mr. Bratton discounted questions from reporters that the increases are related to fewer stop, question and frisks taking place. Those stops—and the number of guns recovered from people—have decreased in the past year, NYPD data show.

NEW YORK — Young downtown designer Alexander Wang is taking over the creative direction of storied Paris fashion house Balenciaga.
The company made the announcement on Monday that 28-year-old Wang would fill the spot vacated last month by Nicolas Ghesquiere, who left after a 15-year run there.
Balenciaga's history began with the Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga, a contemporary of Coco Chanel and Christian Dior, showing his first collections in Paris in 1937. He died in 1972.
The house didn't fully regain its footing until Ghesquiere took over in 1997 and brought critical acclaim and pop-star fans such as Beyonce and Rihanna.
Wang has a similar celebrity appeal, and he's a favorite with fashion editors and the models who wear his cool-girl, sporty styles.
Wang will continue his New York-based signature collection.

Q What does the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the Proposition 8 case mean for legalizing same-sex marriage in California?
A Barring unforeseen developments, it is likely that same-sex marriages will begin in the near future, most likely by the latter part of July.
Q Is there any roadblock left to same-sex marriages in California, or anything that could accelerate the process?
A Proposition 8 supporters argue that a federal judge's 2010 ruling blocking enforcement of the gay marriage ban does not apply statewide, and may not have legal effect at all. Most legal experts say this argument is unlikely to prevail, but it could tie things up with further legal battles. And it is possible matters could move more swiftly if a federal appeals court agrees to the attorney general's request to allow same-sex marriages to proceed immediately or sooner than the typical 25-day waiting period for Supreme Court rulings to become final.
Q What does the Supreme Court's ruling striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act mean for California and the rest of the country?
A DOMA barred same-sex couples from federal benefits, such as married tax recognition and surviving spouse rights. With the law now off the books, the federal government must treat legally married same-sex couples the same as heterosexual couples in terms of benefits. This covers 18,000 couples married in California in 2008, as well as those who may now marry soon with the apparent demise of Proposition 8.
Q How soon might same-sex couples marry in California?
A The most widespread estimate is about 25 days, the typical time frame for Supreme Court rulings to become final. Attorney General Kamala Harris is trying to move things faster, but that is considered unlikely.
Q Will same-sex couples be able to marry in all 58 counties in California?
A Most likely, but there could be counties that resist and argue that the state cannot order them to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. That could result in further legal skirmishes involving those counties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Read through these frequently asked questions about common problems our customers have experienced.
- My burner won't light, what is wrong?
- Why do I have smoke coming out of my draft diverter?
- My burner is igniting, then going out and then re-igniting?
- Why is smoke coming out of my meat doors?
- Why does the digital display on my smoker read DOOR when the door is closed?
- Why does my rotisserie continue to rotate when I open the Meat Doors?
- How do I change from the 1003 to the 1002 style thermostat?
- The rotisserie
- How do I replace the 1006 with the new 1002 digital style thermostat?
- What is BBQ?
- My burner won't light, what is wrong?
There are several things that can prevent the burner from lighting.
Make sure the gas supply to the oven is turned on.
- If so verify that the thermostat is turned up.
- Verify the smoke extractor is turned off if equipped.
- Make sure the meat doors are closed.
- Check Tanks and ensure there is gas in the tanks.
- Is the burner blower motor on?
- Can you hear the ignitor sparking?
If you have a mobile smoker that uses LP Gas:
- Check to ensure there is LP gas in the tanks.
- If tanks have gas, then it�s possible the gas regulator for the tanks has tripped and needs to be reset. Look at the dome shaped clear glass indicator on the top of the gas regulator. If you see the red line more than you see the green line that is a good indication the valve has tripped preventing the flow of gas to the smoker.
- Reset regulator gas valve by turning off the tank valves and removing the pigtails hoses from the tanks at the same time (both hoses must be off in order to reset valve.) Put the pigtail hoses back on the tanks and slowly open the tank valves checking the clear dome shaped indicator on the regulator to verify you now see a green line. Turn on your smoker, set the thermostat. It may take several attempts to ignite burner before all the air is purged out of gas line.
If this is not the issue with your smoker refer to the burner trouble-shooting guide.
- Why do I have smoke coming out of my draft diverter?
There are several things that can cause this.
- Flue pipe must get hot to start the drafting process.
- Check for a plugged flue pipe and make sure your rain cap is one of the open variety not one with small wire holes. They can become clogged with deposits and prevent proper venting.
- The flue pipe must not be installed with angles. (no elbows, must be straight)
- The flue pipe must be 24 inches taller than any roofline within a 10 foot area.
- The kitchen must have slightly positive air pressure. If the kitchen air pressure is negative, smoke will be pulled through the meat doors and draft diverter.
- Make sure the Makup Air Handlers are on, check their belts and filters.
- If the buildings AC system has economizers installed make sure the makeup outside air vents are open and operational.
- My burner is igniting, then going out and then re-igniting?
This problem is called short cycling and can be solved by the following:
- Check to see if there is an ash buildup aroung the igniter, if so remove the ash so the igniter can sense the flame.
- The draft inducer fan air adjustment may be set too high, the shutter on the adjustment should be between half and three quarters closed.
- Your igniter may not be sensing the flame, replace the igniter with part number 1085, specify Natural Gas or LP Gas when ordering.
- Why is smoke coming out of my meat doors?
This is usually caused by either a leak in the seal around the doors or an air pressure issue in the room with the oven.
- Check door gasket and sealing surfaces to ensure when the door is closed and against the door frame the sealing surfaces are without gaps. If the door gasket is torn replace the gasket if any part of the sealing surfaces are bent straighten out the surface.
- Check for a plugged flue pipe or Rain Cap (must be of the open variety not one with small wire holes). They can become clogged with deposits and prevent proper venting.
- The flue pipe must not be installed with elbows, it is important that it be straight with no angles.
- The flue pipe must be 24 inches taller than any roofline that is within 10 ft of the rain cap.
- The kitchen area must have slightly positive air pressure. If the kitchen air pressure is negative, it can pull the smoke out through the doors and/or draft diverter. Make sure the Makeup Air Handlers are on. Also, check their belts and filters. If the building's AC system has economizers installed make sure the makeup outside air vents are open and operational.
- Why does the digital display on my smoker read DOOR when the door is closed?
This means that the door interlock switch is either stuck or bad causing the oven to think that the doors are open, making it not cook.
- Check the door interlock switch to see if the switch is sticking. (Door interlock switch is either located in the inside door frame above the left meat door opening (on older models) or in the right side door frame on newer models. If stuck, clean actuator with WD 40 or other suitable product (listen for a clicking sound to tell if it is working). Replace the switch if cleaning does not free up the switch.
- If the switch is not stuck (clicking sound is present), check the contacts on the back of the switch with a multi meter to ensure the normally open and normally closed contacts are functioning properly. - To do this remove the two screws from the switch bracket and pull the switch assembly out. (Oven must be turned on) CAUTION: the wires attached to the back of the switch will have live power. Attach one lead of the meter to a ground and the other to the normally open terminal on the switch - there should be no voltage shown - then attach lead to the normally closed terminal and it should also show 5V DC. Replace the switch if it is stuck in one position or the other.
- On digital control units a multiamp circuit is completed when the NC contacts close when the door is opened. If the contacts are fused the contacts may not open when the door is opened. Remedy Replace the door switch.
Note: If the control circuit is completed and the controller reads door when the door is actually closed the smoker oven will not cook.
Temporary fix till new switch can be installed.
Disconnect the common wire (labeled COM on the terminal) on the door switch and put tape on the terminal end to prevent a short circuit put the door switch back into place. You will be able to cook normally. The rotisserie, burner and convection fans will work normally. However when the door is opened the rotisserie, burner and convection fans will stay on. You will have to unplug unit or press Start/Stop button to remove product or pause the oven. If you push the down arrow prior to opening the door the smoke extractor will open and evacuate the smoke prior to opening the door.
- Why does my rotisserie continue to rotate when I open the Meat Doors?
This is usually caused by a bad or sticking door interlock switch (it tells the controler when the doors are open). Other possibilites are a bad solid state relay on the control panel or a stuck foot switch.
- How do I change from the 1003 to the 1002 style thermostat?
Installing the 1002 digital thermostat in place of the 1003 mechanical will provide better temperature control and quality of product. This also eliminates the need for the thermometer.
To make this change, the control panel mounting plate must be replaced. The new plate will have the 1002 temperature control, the circuit breaker and panel sticker installed. All switches and wiring will need to be transferred to the new panel without any modifications.
- Disconnect power from oven.
- Remove 6 panel mounting screws holding control panel to oven then pull panel away and down to expose rear of panel and wiring. Remove thermometer and thermostat cap tubes from inside oven.
- Locate the inline 15 pin molex plug and disconnect, there is a lock tab that will need to be released to be able to separate the plug. Now carefully remove the panel assembly from the oven.
- Lay the old and new control panels face down on a suitable work surface and remove all switches from the old panel, it isn't necessary to disconnect wires from switches.
- Disconnect and label the two wires from the old circuit breaker, and the two from the old thermostat.
- Transfer the switches and wiring over to the new panel some of the wire ties will need to be cut so wires and switches can be repositioned into their mounting holes.
- Refer to wiring diagram provided for location of wires from old thermostat.
- Locate wire from old thermostat to the white 15 pin molex plug. Cut the forked terminal off the wire, remove about 1/8" of insulation and with a wire terminal crimp tool, crimp on a female terminal. Next plug this wire onto the #6 terminal of the digital temp. control as shown on the wiring diagram.
- Cut off terminal of other thermostat wire and install a piggy back, female terminal end on this wire as done in previous step. Now plug this wire onto the #10 terminal of the control.
- Locate the short jumper wire included with this setup and plug one end onto the piggy back terminal installed in step 9, the other end connects to the #7 (common) terminal.
- Next locate the white wire with the female spade terminal on one end. Connect this to the #9 terminal on the new control, the other end connects to # X1 terminal on the power switch.
- Connect circuit breaker wires using two extension wires with one male and one female spade terminal on each wire.
- Install the thermocouple thru the same opening the old thermostat and thermometer came out of. Feed the new thermocouple into the bracket using the small holes nearest the door. Adjust the tip of the thermocouple even with the drip rail just above the top of the door opening make sure it doesn't come in contact with any of the metal surfaces.
- Seal the hole where the thermocouple passes into the oven with sealer.
- Next connect the yellow wire to the #4 (TC +) terminal and the red wire to the #3 (TC-) of the new control.
- Make sure all wires are in the proper location and none have pulled out of the switches. If everything is in place reconnect the white 15 pin connector, remount the control panel, install the six screws and tighten, making sure there are no wires caught between the plate and mounting surface.
- Restore power, turn on oven, set temperature make sure oven is working properly.
- The rotisserie
- Does the rotisserie stop when you turn the unit\r\noff? The problem you describe could be either a defective Solid State Relay,\r\nthat controls the rotisserie or possibly a defective switch in the rotisserie\r\nadvance foot switch assembly.
- How do I replace the 1006 with the new 1002 digital style thermostat?
As of 01/16/07 the PN# 1006 thermostat will no longer be available, it has been replaced by PN# 1002 digital temperature control. This change is being made to provide better temperature control and even better quality of product.
To make this change the control panel mounting plate must also be replaced. All switches and circuit breaker can be transferred to the new panel plate without modifications. This change can be completed in under one hour.
- Unplug or turn off power to oven.
- Remove 6 screws holding control panel to oven, pull panel out and down to expose wiring.
- Now locate white, 15 pin molex plug in wiring harness, disconnect plug and remove control panel from oven. For additional information refer to pictures included with this information.
- Place new and old control panel face down on a suitable work surface, locate white locking tab on each switch. Push tab toward panel about 1/8 inch and move tab to the right this will unlock switch block from actuator. Do this on all switches.
- Cut the wire ties from the wires between the switches, unplug the wires from the circuit breaker, label these two wires, you will need to reinstall them later.
- From the old T-stat remove the red and purple thermocuple wires, next remove the two wires from the relay mounted next to the transformer, one wire is a jumper to the L-1 terminal, mark the other relay wire N. O. this wire will be installed on the N.O. terminal of the new control.
- Mark the L1 and L2 wires and remove from old t-stat.
- Next separate the wiring and switches from the old panel, remove the switch actuators from old panel and reinstall into new panel. Make sure the white mark on the red power switch actuator lines up with the on and off marked on the front panel. A washer with a lock tab is installed under the retainer nut, make sure this tab is in the notch at the top of the hole.
- Lay the switch and wiring assembly on the new panel, bend wires so the switches lay over their new location, plug the two provided wire extensions to the wires removed from the circuit breaker, connect the other ends to the circuit breaker.
- Connect the wires removed from the old t-stat to the new temp. control as shown on wiring diagram. Make sure thermocouple wires are connected, RED to #3 TC- and YELLOW or PURPLE to #4 TC+ The black wire L1 with jumper wire from the old T-stat connects to the #10 L1, the other end of the jumper wire connects to #7 COM terminal. The white L2 wire connects to the #9 L2, the other wire from the relay of the old T-stat goes to the #6 N.O. terminal.
- Next slide switch blocks of each switch onto their actuator and slide white lock tab to the left to lock. Test operation of each switch. Replace wire ties to wiring. Check to see that all wires are in place on the switch blocks.
- Reinstall control panel making sure 15 pin molex plug is connected, and locked securely. Reinstall panel screws, connect power to oven.
- Turn power switch, set temperature, confirm oven is operating properly.
- What is BBQ?
Barbecue or barbeque (common spelling variant)[1] (with abbreviations BBQ & Bar-B-Q; Barbie, used chiefly in Australia and New Zealand; Braai used in South Africa) is a method and apparatus for cooking meat or poultry with the heat and hot smoke of a fire, smoking wood, or hot coals of charcoal, cooking gas or even electricity. It may include application of a marinade. spice rub or basting sauce to the meat or vegetables.

Second Round of funding
07.11.2012 - The British government-backed Biomedical Catalyst has started its second round of funding. A total of £39m will be given to 32 of UK's leading life science projects.
The money comes from a £180m funding initiative set up in in December 2011 to help spur the commercialisation of new medical products and technologies being developed by UK businesses and universities. The funds are jointly administered by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and the Medical Research Council (MRC). The TSB manages 22 SME-led projects, totalling £29.6m. Business recipients include Cambridge biotech company Arecor, which has been awarded £85,000 to accelerate the development of high concentration antibodies to allow more convenient administration of future therapeutic medicines and reduce healthcare costs. KalVista Pharmaceuticals (Southampton) will use its £2.4m grant to further develop its oral plasma kallikrein inhibitor as a treatment for diabetic macular edema (DME). Other recipients include PsiOxus Therapeutics, which received £1.7m to develop a virus-based oncolytic vaccine for treating ovarian cancer, and Modern Biosciences, which received £1.6m to push forward the development of a novel anti-inflammatory compound for treating rheumatoid arthritis. Additional companies receiving funding include dermatology and inflammation company Creabilis S.A. (Canterbury, £1.4m); cancer company Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Dundee, £1.9m); drug delivery company Glide Pharma Technologies Ltd. (Abingdon, £2.3m) and medical imaging company IXICO Ltd. (London).
Grants to the 10 university-led projects, totalling £9.5m will be administered by the Medical Research Council. Academic recipients include Oxford University, which will use its grant to conduct human trials of a universal flu jab that could protect against all known strains of the illness.
"Britain is in a global race today and this £39 million investment will help keep us at the very forefront of life sciences by supporting some of our most innovative SMEs and universities. It will help take excellent ideas through to market, driving growth and helping patients benefit from the very latest technologies and treatments", stated David Willetts, UK's Minister for Universities and Science.
Taking into account contributions to the projects from the participating companies, the total value of the research, evaluation, development and demonstration work to be undertaken by the 32 projects exceeds £63m. The Biomedical Catalyst's initial funding awards, announced in August, injected nearly £10m into 14 universities and 18 SMEs, supporting them on their vital first steps in exploring the market potential of their scientific ideas.

SAO PAULO -- U.S. World Cup coach Jurgen Klinsmann boarded the team's flight to Manaus with a big decision to mull over: What is the best way to replace Jozy Altidore for Sunday's match against Portugal?
Altidore, the big, physical forward who draws defenders and opens space for teammates, strained his left hamstring early in the opening 2-1 victory over Ghana. He is unavailable for Sunday's match, and there is no striker on the roster with a similar build or style, so Klinsmann has to change the look of his attack.
There's a lot riding on his decision.
With a win over the Portuguese and reigning world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo, the U.S. would accomplish two American firsts: reaching the knockout stage of consecutive World Cups and advancing with a game to spare.
"This is now the moment where you can prove yourself. This is the moment where you can step up and play those guys and put them in place," Klinsmann said. "So we want to put Cristiano and his team in his place."
When Ghana and Germany tied 2-2 on Saturday, the U.S. was suddenly in position to clinch advancement with a win Sunday. A victory over the fourth-ranked Portuguese would mean the U.S. could then win the group with a tie against Germany on Thursday.
"It just confirms what we all knew from the beginning on, that it's a very, very difficult group," he said. "It's a huge opportunity (Sunday) in Manaus, and we will definitely go for it."
But it will be without Altidore, leaving Klinsmann with a few options. He can go with speedy Aron Johannsson, who scored 21 goals in the Dutch league. Klinsmann turned to Johansson when Altidore went down Monday night, and though he had trouble getting anything going against Ghana's physical defenders, he might have more luck against a depleted Portugal back line that will be missing the suspended Pepe and injured Fabio Coentrao.
Another option to replace Altidore up front is the opportunistic Chris Wondolowski, the Earthquakes fan favorite. He is not the biggest, quickest or most skilled forward of the U.S. bunch, but he can hold the ball well and has an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time and find the back of the net.
When Klinsmann named Wondolowski to the 30-man preliminary roster, he said: "It's always a pleasure to have him in camp. He is a competitor. He is determined. You give him a 1 percent chance, and he wants to make it 100 percent at the end of the day."
Johannsson and Wondolowski conceded that they cannot replicate Altidore's game but vowed, if called upon, to aid the U.S. attack in their own ways.
"Jozy is a special player," Wondolowski said. "You can't (just fill in one player for another). That's like saying, 'Hey, go be Cristiano Ronaldo.' You can't necessarily replace certain aspects of another player's game, but Aron and I bring different styles, different sets of skills that are useful, and what we have to do is incorporate those skills sets and also be able to fit into the game plan as well."
Teammates said they have faith in both forwards and that each brings something a little different to the attack.
"Wondo is a guy, I mean, he can score from anything," midfielder Kyle Beckerman said. "He can score when you think there's no chance and then next thing you know, he scores. He is also a guy that does so much for the team. He plays defense, he works his tail off for the guy behind him. He does a lot of things that don't show up on the stat sheet.
"Aron, he's a guy that does similar things. He's got this kind of attitude about scoring that he just kind of does it, and he feels like he has to do that. He's crafty, he's really tricky with the ball. They both have some pace that can get away and get their shot off from nothing as well. We're confident in them."
Then, of course, there is a chance that Klinsmann goes with neither Johannsson nor Wondolowski and opts instead to play five midfielders, with Clint Dempsey as a lone striker up top. He could put Jones and Beckerman in front of the back line as defensive mids, then have workhorses Alejandro Bedoya and Graham Zusi manning the flanks, with Michael Bradley as more of an attacking midfielder delivering the ball.
The formation might also help cut off the passes to Portuguese superstar Ronaldo, who is expected to play despite nursing a bum knee and being slowed in training this week.
Beckerman said that no matter whom Klinsmann chooses to fill in for Altidore, it will take a team effort to get a second victory against a Portuguese club that is desperate after losing 4-0 to Germany in its opener.
"Any formation we play, it's going to take everybody watching each other's backs," Beckerman said.

Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi said on Wednesday that Afghan troops will fill the "vacuum" caused by the withdrawal of 34,000 U.S. troops over the next 12 months.
Obama told Americans about his decision in his State of the Union speech. He had earlier briefed Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Karzai's office said the two leaders discussed strengthening and equipping the Afghan forces and a pending security agreement that will determine whether the U.S. will retain soldiers here after most foreign troops leave at the end of 2014.

QCAD 3.05.0.0 Professional on Windows 7 64 bit OS
I have just purchased and installed the software, I am new to it and generally a bit rusty with CAD so forgive me if I have missed anything obvious.
I have a drawing in *.dwg format from a supplier (don't know what package was used to generated it)
I can open the drawing, there are a number of blocks in the list, I can see the parts, add entities all fine. but....
when I come to save the drawing (with or without modification) I loose a number (not all) of the blocks.
I have tried saving as several different formats, cutting and pasting everything into a new drawing and saving that in default format but nothing works.
I have been using QCAD community edition version 2.05.0 on an Ubuntu Linux VM and it seems to work fine with the same *.dwg file.
If I load a saved file from older Linux version into new version the same blocks are missing. (I load the same file back into linux version and the blocks are all there??)
Thank you for any help,

Clair Ching sent me a link to Joss Whedon's post about the honour killing of a young woman. As sickened as I am to hear that such things happen and that the proliferation of mobile phones and video sharing services has given rise to amateur pornography of violence, I do not feel despair. I can't feel despair. To give into despair is to give up, to let myself be paralyzed by fear. Nor can I see the problem as female. This kind of discrimination is abominable in any form, whether it be against the homosexual or the homeless or the housewife.
But what can I do?
I can be strong and live my life as if the world I want is already here, and to either laugh at or fight or shame those who act otherwise.

BRENTWOOD -- East Contra Costa County's sports community remained shocked and saddened after the unexpected death this week of a popular Liberty High assistant freshman baseball coach.
James Anthony Brignolio, a 1990 Liberty graduate, was taken by ambulance to Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch on Wednesday after complaining of chest pains during Liberty's baseball practice. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital. He was 42.
The Contra Costa coroner's office Friday still had not determined a cause of death.
He leaves behind a wife and two children, according to the school.
"We want to make sure everyone keeps Tony, his wife and children in their thoughts and prayers," Liberty principal Pat Walsh said.
Liberty baseball players from all three levels, varsity, junior varsity and freshman, were on the field when Brignolio, affectionately known as "Coach Tony," started exhibiting symptoms.
"Our kids had just started working out," Walsh said. "We haven't even selected teams yet, and he was complaining of chest pains at one of the workouts, and so they called 9-1-1."
Walsh said counselors were made available to students Thursday, and a letter was sent home with the baseball players. One school counselor, Chris Jacot, is an assistant baseball coach at Liberty.
Brignolio's passing hit Liberty's senior players hard because he'd connected with them as a friend and a coach, beginning when they were freshmen during his previous stint with the program. He had left Liberty to coach the freshman team at Freedom.
Falcons players had affectionately referred to Brignolio as "Mama Bear."
"A wonderful, wonderful guy," Freedom baseball coach Gary Alexander said. "Big sense of humor, fun-loving. It's just a tragedy."
Former Liberty varsity baseball coach Greg Borland hired Brignolio four or five years ago to coach the Lions freshman team.
"Tony was a really good guy," said Borland, currently a campus supervisor at Freedom. "He came to me when I had the opening, and I hired him right away because of his desire was more of being around the kids than it was the actual baseball. He enjoyed the game, but he loved being around the kids."
Borland said Brignolio was willing to do anything that was needed for the program.
"It didn't matter the time of day, he was there to help me out," Borland said. "He had a really good relationship with the kids. He's really going to be missed."
When Borland stopped coaching at Liberty after a five-year run, he recommended Brignolio to Alexander.
Borland said Brignolio couldn't drive because he suffered from vertigo, but he still found a way to get around.
"It didn't matter how he got there, he was there," Borland said. "That was one of the things amazed me. I'd asked him, 'How'd you get here?' 'Oh, I walked.' It did not matter how he'd get there, he'd just get there."
The family has not yet announced plans for a memorial service or funeral.

BERKELEY -- In a rematch she lost closely four years ago, City Council candidate Sophie Hahn says incumbent Laurie Capitelli is making decisions without consulting residents.
Hahn, a retired lawyer, lost the last race against Capitelli by just 401 votes out of 8,212 cast.
Capitelli, a real estate broker, is seeking his third term and says this time around he is committed to knocking on the doors of all 4,500 houses in his district by the time election day rolls around. Last week, he said he was about three quarters of the way there.
Hahn said if she wins on Nov. 6, she will include residents and their associations in all her decision-making.
"There's been a lack of consultation with the established neighborhood organizations and with neighborhoods," Hahn said.
An example is a recent road and sidewalk reconfiguration at Solano and Colusa avenues she said was made with "no community consultation." Residents already are complaining about more traffic on surrounding streets, she said.
Capitelli said the project was sent through the city's commissions and its transportation department.
"It's only been a month so I don't see how she can say there is more traffic," Capitelli said.
Capitelli said he has listened to what residents want and delivered. Street trees and benches on Solano Avenue and sidewalk "bulb outs," that make it easier for pedestrians and drivers to see each other at street crossings on Solano are a good example, he said. That process involved a survey in which 1,300 people responded, he added.
"The two things people said they wanted the most were sidewalk seating and trees," Capitelli said. "And now we're delivering on those requests."
Capitelli said other improvements to the area he made after listening to constituents over the past four years include children's play equipment at the King Park playground, "that went through a neighborhood committee," and Solano Avenue zoning improvements that streamlined the permit process for businesses that went through "all the commissions and two neighborhood meetings and was supported by the Thousand Oaks Neighborhood Association."
Hahn said she will be more inclusive of neighborhood groups and individual residents on area issues. She pointed to her recent success in getting the City Council to pass, with no debate, an item allowing backyard gardeners to sell their produce without obtaining a permit, something that previously would have cost a gardener $3,000 and a year's wait.
"We got people together, wrote the new code, then we brought in several organizations, and for a year, we had a consultative process and got input and addressed concerns," Hahn said. "Then we revised it. We took it to the planning commission and it passed unanimously and it went to City Council and it was passed on consent. So we didn't have a whole lot of folks show up at council saying they hadn't been consulted."
Hahn said if she is elected to City Council she would like to explore ways the city could refrain from "aggressive" ticketing in metered spaces on Solano Avenue. She said she'd also like to consult with residents and shoppers about what they want on Solano Avenue to make it "more of a community gathering place."
Capitelli said if he is elected to four more years he would like to move forward with allowing businesses to use the parking space in front of their establishment for outdoor seating and dining. He said he'd also like to streamline the building permit process for very small projects like installing an automatic earthquake gas shut-off valve. He'd like it to be cheap, fast and available on the Internet.
"If you want to do that now, the permit is over $100 and you have to go downtown," Capitelli said. "There are many people installing these shut-off valves without permits because of the bureaucracy involved."
