July 25, 2011 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration Report
SUBJECT 2: Formula Approval Guidance
SUBJECT 3: Quick Health Data Trainings
SUBJECT 4: Fourth Quarter Holiday Office Hours
SUBJECT 5: Response Requested--Microcuvettes & Analyzers
Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration Report: Current breastfeeding rates for all local WIC providers are now available on Crystal Reports. To access the Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration Report go to "WIC Reports-Local Agency", then to "Clinic Management". The report will show in the list on the right. This is the same data that will be provided in your Local Agency Plan (LAP). If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Mertzlufft by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 573-526-4792.
Formula Approval Guidance:
- Formula Approval When the Local Agency Nutritionist is Not Available - It is the local agency's responsibility to have a plan in place for handling formula approvals (WIC 27) that come into the agency on a day when the nutritionist is not available. This serves as a reminder of local agency options for handling a formula approval when the local agency nutritionist is not available.
- Most formulas can be approved by the local agency CPA.
- Local agencies are encouraged to work together to provide services. Your agency may need to establish an agreement to refer formula approvals to another agency when the local agency nutritionist is not available. Discuss this arrangement with other agencies and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (template attached) before an approval is needed.
- The Clerk, HPA, or WIC Certifier should not call the state WIC office for a formula approval except in special circumstances. This is the responsibility of the local agency CPA or nutritionist.
- Routine Formula Approval Reminder - When the local agency nutritionist or CPA is required to call the state WIC per the FFRG for a formula approval or direct shipment, call 800.392.8209. You will then be directed to the state nutritionist assigned for that day. Please do not leave a voice mail message or send an email to the state nutritionist who previously approved the formula or direct shipment.
Contact your assigned technical assistance nutritionist if you have questions. (ONE ATTACHMENT)

General Description
Shell morphology: The shell is small, with a length no greater than 60 mm. The shell is modioliform, thick and sturdy, and is essentially equivalve. The anterior margin is sharply rounded, whilst the posterior margin is broadly rounded, becoming angular dorsally. The ventral margin is straight, although can be very slightly concave in the region of the byssal gape in the largest specimens. The dorsal shell margin is very broadly convex. The shell length is greater than twice the height. The umbones are often eroded, and are prosogyrate and subterminal, positioned within the anterior one-twentieth. The prodissoconch II is red, 460 um in length. A raised, broadly rounded ridge extends from the umbonal ridge to the posterior ventral margin.
The shell lacks external sculpture and has a smooth surface except for concentric growth lines and very fine radial periostracal corrugations in the median ventral area. The shell is dull-white in colour beneath a dark-brown to straw-yellow periostracum. The antero-dorsal portion of the periostracum and shell is variably eroded depending on age and collection site. The interior is polished, off-white in colour and predominately nacreous.
The ligament is opisthodetic, parivincular and extends posteriorly from the umbones to occupy 37-50% of the dorsal margin. The adult hinge is edentulous and is thickened below and anterior to the umbo. The juvenile hinge has denticles immediately posterior of the ligament and immediately below the umbones. Hinge denticles are obsolete in specimens greater than 17 mm in length.
Muscle scars: The anterior adductor scar is oblong, and positioned at an oblique angle near to the antero-ventral margin, below the umbo. The posterior adductor scar is round and is contiguous with a small siphonal retractor scar ventrally and the posterior portion of the posterior byssal-pedal retractor scar dorsally. The anterior retractor scar is located within the upper extremity of the umbonal cavity directly beneath the umbo. The posterior byssal retractors form two scars with a moderate gap between them. The anterior of the two scars is obliquely elliptical, and is directly beneath the posterior end of the ligament, whilst the posterior scar is elliptical and parallel to the antero-posterior axis of the shell, and is located antero-dorsally to and bordering the posterior adductor scar. The ventral pallial line is prominent, extending from the median posterior aspect of the anterior adductor scar to the posterior adductor, curving slightly upwards and then downwards to form an indentation in the byssal gape region at about the mid-point of the antero-posterior axis. A small siphonal retractor scar is located at the posterior end of the ventral pallial line and is contiguous with the posterior adductor.
Musculature: The posterior byssal retractors are separated into posterior and anterior portions, each consisting of two main muscle bundles that attach separately to the shell. The posterior portion inserts along the postero-dorsal edge of the posterior adductor, whilst the anterior portion inserts just below and posterior to the posterior end of the ligament. The pedal retractors are very slender, and arise from the antero-dorsal portion of the foot, passing lateral to the anterior retractors and insert lateral to the posterior portion of the posterior byssal retractors. The siphonal retractors are indistinct. They originate in the inner mantle margin around the excurrent siphon, and attach along the postero-ventral edge of the posterior adductor. The anterior retractors arise from the dorso-lateral portion of the foot mass and pass anteriorly to insert in the antero-dorsal extremity of the umbonal cavity. The labial palp suspensors are not evident. The posterior and anterior adductor is rounded.
Foot and byssus: The foot is long and thick. The shape in preserved specimens is variable depending on the degree of contraction. Byssal strands are few to profuse, gray to light-brown in colour, and are thin, flat and unornamented. The byssal gland extends down the foot behind the byssal groove, and is without an extension dorsal to the origin of the anterior retractors.
Mantle and mantle cavity: The connections between the edge of the ascending lamellae and the surface of the mantle lobes and visceral mass are weak or lacking, resulting in an incomplete separation of the incurrent and excurrent chambers. The muscular longitudinal ridges for the attachment of the ascending lamellae to the mantle lobes and visceral mass are lacking. The ventral edges of the inner mantle lobes are not thickened and muscular. The excurrent siphonal opening is a small, tubuliform siphon that is capable of moderate extension beyond the perimeter of the shell, but lacking an internal diaphragm. The fusion of the inner mantle immediately below the excurrent siphon forms a short, incomplete horizontal branchial septum between the incurrent and excurrent chambers. The incurrent and excurrent chambers are not completely separated posterior of the posterior adductor. The posterior ends of the gill axes attach to the underside of the horizontal branchial septum. A short valvular siphonal membrane joins the left and right lobes, and extends anteriorly a short distance into the pedal gape. The anterior edge of the valvular siphonal membrane is smooth, lacking central papilla. The pedo-byssal gape is extensive, with the incurrent aperture extending from the anterior end of the valvular siphonal membrane to the posterior edge of the anterior adductor.
Ctenidia: The lamellae are of unequal height, with the ascending lamellae two-thirds of the height of the descending, resulting in the inner and outer demibranchs forming a short-armed W-shaped gill when viewed in cross-section. The demibranchs are unequal in length, with the inner demibranch slightly longer anteriorly than the outer. The demibranchs are hypertrophied, thick and short. The ventral edges have well-developed recessed food grooves. The dorsal food grooves are present in deep folds just below the junction of the ascending lamellae and the areas of attachment to the mantle lobes and the visceral mass. The filaments are broad and moderately fleshy. The ctenidia and filaments are white in colour. Distal intermellar junctions are lacking. The lamellae are joined apically to ca. one-half the height of the descending and three-quarter height of the ascending lamellae. 'Principal filaments' and 'tubular connections' are lacking.
Labial palps: The paired labial palps are short, broad, flat and triangular. The inner surfaces are plicate, whilst the outer surfaces are smooth. The bases of the inner and outer pair are coincident. Both pairs are in a normal anterior position, without proboscid-like extensions. The outer pair of palps is larger, up to twice the size of the inner pair. The mouth is situated normally at the basal junction of the inner and outer palps. The extreme anterior portions of the gill that are placed between the inner and outer palps are coincident with the plicate palp surfaces.
Digestive system: The alimentary system is well developed for the group. The stomach and direct intestine are located on the body mid-line. The intestine leaves the posterior end of the stomach and passes posteriorly down the midline ventral to the ventricle. A short recurrent loop to the right begins immediately below the posterior end of the ventricle. The recurrent intestine passes anteriorly on the right side. The rectum turns to the mid-line and enters the extreme antero-ventral portion of the ventricle anterior to the auricular openings.

Very interesting. Just to clarify, XuJianQing may have other helpers work on the YaYi brand pots, but (aside from reselling) he is the only one who sells that brand? In other words, is YaYi his brand only, or will you find other shops carrying YaYi pots made by other artists?
Also, I'm interested in learning more about the clays your uncle has access to and their "pedigree." Some close up shots of different pots would be amazing!
Hopefully I'm not annoying you too much with all the questions! It's not too common for us westerners to be able to ask in-depth questions and A) not have the question "lost in translation", and B) have someone willing to give straightforward answers. I appreciate it.

Montana re-regulates utilities
The Columbus Dispatch - September 27, 2013 03:05 PM
While Ohio continues to march toward deregulation of electricity, Montana is going the opposite direction.
NorthWestern Energy, a regulated utility, said today it is buying a series of hydroelectric plants from PPL Corp. The $900 million deal means that the same company will own the power plants and deliver the power, a setup that was typical in the state until the mid-1990s.
"This is a unique opportunity to acquire hydroelectric facilities dedicated to serving our Montana customers for generations to come," said Bob Rowe, NorthWestern's president and CEO, in a statement. "These facilities were originally built as part of the integrated system that we own today and complement our existing set of supply resources. The addition of Montana-regulated, clean, sustainable and reliable hydro power will provide supply diversity to our portfolio and will reduce risks associated with variable fuel prices."
In the 1990s, Montana Power sold the hydroelectric dams to PPL and then sold the electricity-delivery part of its business to NorthWestern. The change was supposed to be the beginning of a new era of low prices from a series of competing electric companies, but the result was a surge in prices, according to an AP report today.
Like Montana, Ohio deregulated its electricity system in the 1990s. The difference was that Ohio regulators saw danger signs in the market and slowed down the transition. It was only in the last few years that the state's major utilities have changed their structures to reflect the new system.
It remains to be seen how deregulation will affect prices for American Electric Power customers in central Ohio.

Get ready for more electric car charging stations
The Columbus Dispatch - May 20, 2013 02:58 PM
In a few years, you may have an easier time getting around in your Nissan Leaf or Tesla Model S, according to a new report that projects rapid growth in electric car charging stations.
IMS Research says the world will have 10.7 million of the stations by 2020, an increase from 135,000 in 2011. The research firm, which is part of IHS, says its estimate is based on the expectation that businesses and the government will pour money into the stations to meet rising demand from consumers.
"Sales of hybrid and electric vehicles are set to continue apace over the next 10 years," Alastair Hayfield, associate director at IMS Research, said in a statement. "While volumes may not reach the levels imagined in the hype of 2009, it is clear that there needs to be charging infrastructure in place to support this change in mobility."
Supporters of all-electric vehicles have said that a lack of charging infrastructure is one of their chief obstacles. They talk about a "chicken and egg" problem, in which consumers are reluctant to buy electric cars because of a lack of charging stations, and companies are reluctant to install charging stations because so few people drive electric cars.
If the actual number of stations is anything close to the IMS estimate, it would indicate that the chicken and egg problem has largely been solved.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (121 votes).
In short: was alot better then i thought it was going to beIn full: i couldn't thought the brighton marathon,as i started near the front, there seemed to be plenty of room to move, i thought the roads were wide enough.the whole day went great, the weather was perfect, we had strong winds between about miles 7-10, because it was so open.there were plenty of people everywhere cheering you on, a very good race.and will do againDate of review: May 10, 2012
In full: Very good race, conditions were very good & fairly flat. Glad to do a marathon again with carryable water/Powerade (though runners need to be educated that Powerade is for drinking and carrying - not throwing away after 1 drink) and at just the right places. There will always be a few issues: eg Water pouches were inconsistent but could still be used; arrived at Park & Ride before 7:30 but bus didn't leave until after 8:15 and there were plenty still waiting for the next bus; tight course and plenty of slow runners early on. Overall a very enjoyable day!Date of review: May 4, 2012
Date of review: May 4, 2012
In short: did a pb 3.14 and loved it.In full: Got put in the middle pen. Was dissapointed as I new I could get held back early on.After a loop of the start and running into Brighton proper I managed to hit 7.20 mile pace. I was a bit nervous of the hills but these are easily dealt with. Worst bit was the ferocious cross wind at around 8-11 miles trying to blow you into the sea. The straight to the Power Station was grim but every marathon has something ugly. London marathon coming out of Canary Wharf past Billingsgate is no better. Organisation was excellent. You could even get porridge at the start. An excellent idea. I really enjoyed the weekend as well. Make the most of it with your family. They can have a great time too.Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Fantastic day!In full: Superb day in which achieved a time i never expected, as last year i hated the road out to Ovingdean where there is little support but didn't find the power station too bad. Got on very well with the water pouches and found them much easier to carry than the bottles and it was good to see there were many more clif blocks and gels being handed out this year as well. Support from the public was also great in places but quiet in others, have heard a rumour that route is to be changed again next year so maybe this will solve some issues? Overall, i found the organisation of the event excellent from start to finish and have signed up again for next year. Bit expensive for next year and a nuisance that have to pick up pack from expo but hope event itself will be just as good. Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Fantastic Marathon - seems to be going from strength to strengthIn full: I took a charity place for this event when I got rejected again for London. What a great event - the crowds are fantastic for the majority of the race - obviously the well documented power station area being the exception. I certainly needed their support in the last few miles along the seafront to the finish. I've already registered for next years event!The organisation seemed very good - although I was awarded a bib that would have placed me in the wrong start corral at the expo they swapped me over with no fuss. The park and ride was great as we had elected to stay out in Worthing. However next year we're planning to pay a bit more and stay in the centre of Brighton. The only blip was that it wasn't obvious which queue to wait in to catch the buses back to the various car parks.Like many people I was really not sure about the water pouches - at times I couldn't get anything out at all!Overall a great race that shows that you don't need to be in London to take part in a "massive" marathon! Date of review: April 29, 2012
In short: Oh i do like to be beside the seasideIn full: I decided to enter the Brighton Marathon as the London Marathon have changed the automatic 5 rejections rule. Entry was for 18000 but only 9000 ran on the day. I found the event enjoyable but atmosphere in places was patchy. Weather was great and support at start and along the sea front was superb (thanks everyone who turned out). Minor faults, the price is dearer than the London Marathon, I paid for the "pay and display" , parked up and waited along with many others at the "pay and display" sign in the carpark, after half an hour someone asked the parking volunteers if we were waiting in the right place but they did not know. Alas we were not and eventually had to exit the car park cross the road and walk down to the bus stop, and finally if you enter for 2013 you will have to collect your marathon pack from the Marathon exhibition on one of the 2 days before the race. But all in all a good race.Date of review: April 26, 2012
In short: Great eventIn full: Very good race. Was windier this year but mainly a cross wind. The pacers did not really start in the right places. As the 3 3.15 , .3.30 and 3.45 pacers all started at the front of the red quarrel and there was masses running with them so was hard to manoeuvre in front on them in first few miles. Should be starting un different places. Did not get on well with wAter pouches offered .Brighton marathon app , has changed my position 5 times so not 100 pc accurate. Having said all that still a fantastic day plenty of crowds .Date of review: April 25, 2012
In short: Good alternative to London Marathon but this year the cold north wind made me perform badly as exposed from the North and suffered!In full: As said a good alternative to London and for me easier to get to. Less crowds this year especially along road to Ovingdean and Marina area, the Hove seafront part and Power station as well compared to last two years. New Church Road had a lot of people. Felt Boundary Road turn could of had more people in the street - no music or anything - very bland. Also Kemp Town Village - the roads were closed why not go through there - we have enough seafront anyway. maybe the route could be looked at again. If you want a PB Berlin or London might be better for you.Date of review: April 23, 2012
In short: Awesome weekend by the coast!In full: I thoroughly enjoyed the Brighton Marathon 2012. I did the London one 2 years ago and this BM was awesome. The size is perfect and the atmosphere brilliant - the crowd put there all into it! Like others have said, the part round the power station is very grim, but hey, its an endurance event, get on with it! Highly recommended event.Date of review: April 23, 2012

Arne Duncan should resign, said National Education Association delegates at the teachers' union's annual convention.
A tipping point for some members was Duncan's statement last month in support of a California judge's ruling that struck down tenure and other job protections for the state's public school teachers. In harsh wording, the judge said such laws harm particularly low-income students by saddling them with bad teachers who are almost impossible to fire.
Even before that, teachers' unions have clashed with the administration over other issues ranging from its support of charter schools to its push to use student test scores as part of evaluating teachers.
"I always try to stay out of local union politics," responded Duncan. "I think most teachers do too."

I should have known something was awry when I spotted my pacer lounging at the Mile 30 aid station with a beer in his hand. For purposes of this story, we'll call the pacer John Barleycorn. At the time, I thought little of John's revelry, since it would be several hours before he'd need to lace up his shoes and take me through 26 tough night-time miles.
"He's just kicking back," I thought.
Later, at 10 p.m., when I arrived at the aid station where we'd meet for his pacing shift, John laughed like a cartoon hyena, privy to a joke that only he knew. The punch line was hidden somewhere in a pile of empty beer cans. With headlamps on, we jogged into the chilly night. "Whooooo-oooooooo!" he howled like a fire engine, beginning with an all-out sprint, well ahead of me.
OK, it is my belief that alcohol and trail running can and do mix. Just last summer, I enjoyed an evening eight-miler with two pals, much enhanced afterwards by sitting on our warm car hoods, drinking Fat Tire while the day's last rays danced against sandstone slabs, and talking smack ("How did you manage to puke BEFORE a race, Joe?") and embellishing on the old days, when, of course, we were faster.

About the Author: Nayyera Haq serves in the Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
At a public event in Pakistan today, Acting Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP) Frank Ruggiero and Ministry of Water and Power Secretary Javed Iqbal signed an agreement that will complete the Gomal Zam and Satpara Dam, project that will provide electricity to over thousands of households in the northern areas of Pakistan. These projects were announced by Secretary Clinton on her visit to Pakistan in 2010, as part of the ongoing U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue.
In his remarks after the signing, Ruggiero said: "We are committed to a comprehensive and enduring partnership with the Pakistani people and government, based on our common interests and animated by mutual respect. Energy shortfalls affect every Pakistani regardless of social economic status and from every geographic corner of Pakistan's territory. The completion of this dam will bring significant improvements to the lives of the people in these communities, including new economic development opportunities. These dams were abandoned before they could be completed. Now, due to a $66 million investment from the United States, these multipurpose dams will finally serve the communities they were designed to benefit."
The Gomal Zam dam is located in South Waziristan. With U.S. funding, the Pakistan government will now be able to complete the 17.4 mega watt hydro power transmission station which will provide electricity to 25,000 households in the South Wazairistan and the FATA and which will be connected to Pakistan's national grid. This project will be completed by November 2011 and we hope that we will see more people in this region enjoy the benefits and opportunities of electricity.
The Satpara hydro power dam project will provide electricity to 30,000 households in the Gilgit Baltistan region with 17.7 mega watts. This project will be done in two phases and will also have the added benefit of providing much needed irrigation to 15,500 acres of land in the Skardo community.
In addition, the two dams will also help control flooding, an important improvement after last year's devastating floods. According to the Water and Power Development Authority, damage to Pakistan would have been far more catastrophic without its existing dams. These are significant projects that will deliver significant results to the people of Pakistan.

Hellwig Resigns As Home Director
After serving almost 20 years as administrator for the Chautauqua County Home, Tim Hellwig announced his resignation Friday, effective Feb. 28.
Hellwig also announced he has accepted a new position as director of nursing homes in Cattaraugus County.
"I greatly appreciate the many years I was afforded to serve with my teammates in county government and am thankful for the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of many of the county's most vulnerable residents," Hellwig said.
Additionally, he thanked county leaders for their support and said he was even more thankful to County Home staff members.
"(They) have been so committed to our residents and supportive of our efforts to improving the quality of life for our home's residents," Hellwig said.
The process of finding a new administrator has begun, said County Executive Vince Horrigan.
"I appreciate the many years of service and dedication (Hellwig) has provided to the residents of Chautauqua County and I wish him the best with his new endeavors," Horrigan said. "This was an opportunity that just happened to come along and he will be director of two nursing homes in Cattaraugus County."
The announcement comes at a sensitive time, as concern over ownership of the nursing home has been a highly controversial topic since earlier in Greg Edwards' administration.
It was announced Thursday that a special meeting will take place with county legislators on Feb. 5 in Mayville with prospective buyer VestraCare for the County Home, which remains under county ownership for the time being.
Three votes took place in 2013 involving its potential sale. In the third vote, nine legislators voted against the sale of the County Home to VestraCare at a cost of $16.5 million, which broke down to $80,000 per bed.
Horrigan said the potential privatization was not connected with Hellwig's resignation.
"This was his personal decision," Horrigan said.
Now, the county executive said he will continue to explore available options to fill Hellwig's position, and the replacement has to be approved by the New York State Department of Health.
"I want to ensure the residents, employees and people of the county that we will have high-quality, long-term care without interruption at the Chautauqua County Home," Horrigan said.
Furthermore, he is adamant on finding a high-quality administrator.
"There are several sequences of events now," Horrigan added. "Whether or not the legislature makes a decision to privatize the home, as county executive, I will make sure the licensed position is covered and properly filled."
A vote on the County Home's potential privatization is expected in February.

- Turn on the Argon Gas bottle at the wall rack. Remember that the seal system for inert gas only completely seals the stem at full closed and full open. Turn the knob in the desired direction until it stops. When the TIG machine is turned on, you can adjust the argon flow (watch the red ball in the vertical glass tube).
- Check the power switch on the junction box on the wall. Is it turned on?
Quirks of the I3 P&H TIG machine.
- Sometimes the foot pedal sticks just enough to turn on the solenoid. This is very bad, particularly if you are using an old style welders shield. Its too easy to flash your eyes in error. Best action, is to ensure foot pedal is at top of stroke before you turn on the machine.
- Argon use. The machine flows argon gas whenever the machine is turned on. Argon gas is expensive. This means turn off the machine when you have finished your weld, and don't turn it on again until just before you are ready to run your next bead.
- High Frequency -- The switch has 3 settings, Start, Off, and Continuous. HF provides a secondary electrical wave that jumps gaps much more easily, but doesn't really make much heat. It's used to help start the arc for DC welding (Start) and to help maintain the arc during AC welding (Continuous). It can disrupt radio communications, so if you plan to listen to music while welding Aluminium, an MP3 player is going to work better than a radio.
- Duty Cycle -- The machine has a duty cycle of 60$ at full capacity, meaning that it should be given a 4 minute break after 6 minutes of solid welding. This only becomes a concern when welding really thick materials, as the duty cycle goes up to 100% pretty fast as the amperage is reduced. If you are welding with the machine in the "High" range on DC or the upper "Middle" Range on AC, make sure you understand what that means for the duty cycle. If you are on Low range or Middle/DC, no worries.
Machine settings: What material are you welding?
- Steel? If you are using steel, set the Polarity Selector Switch (large three position switch on the right hand lower area) to the full clockwise position, Direct Current Straight Polarity (DC Electrode Negative). You should be using the red tungstens (2% Thoriated) for DC TIG welding. Set High Frequency to Start.
- Aluminum? If you are using aluminum, set the Polarity Selector Switch to the full counterclockwise position, Alternating Current (AC). You should be using the green tungstens (pure tungsten) for AC TIG welding. Set High Frequency to Continuous.
Maintenance Info
- Spark Gap
- The welding arc should start immediately while High Frequency is on Start or Continuous. If it doesn't, verify that the front panel controls are set properly. If it still doesn't, the spark gap may need maintenance as described in Figure 3-8 of the online manual. The manual recommends a 3 month or 250 hour interval for spark gap maintenance.
- Unplug the welder.
- Remove the right-hand side panel.
- Locate the high-voltage capacitor, which is a few inches from the spark gap, and connected to it with a short wire. Manually discharge this capacitor through a conductor that is not a living organism.
- Leave the center spark gap electrode bolted tightly in place.
- Loosen the bolt that holds down one of the end electrodes. Insert an 0.006 feeler gauge into the gap, push the end electrode hard enough to squeeze the feeler gauge, and tighten the bolt. Verify that you feel a slight resistance when you slide the feeler gauge through the gap.
- Repeat the previous step for the other end electrode.
- If you need to clean or resurface the electrodes, which is unlikely, take care to maintain the parallel alignment of the gap.
- Put back the side panel, and plug the welder back in.
- The spark gap was last adjusted on 2012-10-09 by Dave Scholl and Jody Raiford.
- The welding arc should start immediately while High Frequency is on Start or Continuous. If it doesn't, verify that the front panel controls are set properly. If it still doesn't, the spark gap may need maintenance as described in Figure 3-8 of the online manual. The manual recommends a 3 month or 250 hour interval for spark gap maintenance.

Ishpeming man arraigned on drug charges
MARQUETTE – An Ishpeming man who led police on a weekend manhunt was arraigned on drug charges in Marquette County District Court Monday.
Todd Raymond Mills, 31, is charged with two counts of controlled substance-operating a methamphetamine lab, a 20-year felony.
Ishpeming Police Department Chief Dan Willey said Monday that a November investigation into a meth lab in the city had led to warrants being issued for Mills' arrest. When he heard police were looking for him, Mills called Willey.
"He called me and told me he was going to commit suicide by cop and hurt people who had hurt him," Willey said.
Ishpeming police – with the assistance of the Michigan State Police from the Negaunee Township post, the Marquette County Sheriff's Ofice and the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team – spent the weekend looking for Mills, who Willey said was released in May after serving about a decade in prison for a violent offense.
Willey talked to Mills again on Sunday and the suspect agreed to surrender to police. He was on foot Sunday evening, when he was arrested on Ishpeming's North Street.
Currently lodged in the Marquette County Jail, Mills is being held on a $100,000 cash bond.
He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 25.
According to the Marquette County Sheriff's Office, the suspect is registered by the Michigan State Police as a sex offender under the name Todd Raymond Wentworth.

Colorado River of Cheese and Macaroni
Recipe courtesy of Patrick Rhea, owner of Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket in Willowbrook, IL
- Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
- Basic Bechamel Sauce, recipe follows
- 2 ounces dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 4 cups (2 pounds) shredded sharp Cheddar, divided (aged no more than 30 days as a longer aged cheese can make your sauce oily)
- 1 cup (1/2 pound) shredded Asiago, divided
- 1 cup (1/4 pound) grated Parmesan, divided
- 8 cups (2 pounds) elbow macaroni
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature, divided
- 1/2 (2 ounces) medium onion, finely diced
- 10 cups (2 1/2 quarts) whole milk
- 3/4 teaspoon iodized salt
- 3/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Bring the Basic Bechamel Sauce to a simmer over low heat. Add the white wine and stir to combine. Stir in the mustard, paprika, and salt and pepper. Gradually add the cheeses, reserving about 1/4 cup of each cheese for the top of the casserole. Stir the sauce thoroughly between each addition of the cheese. Simmer until the cheese is well blended.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the elbow macaroni and cook to al dente. Drain.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large casserole dish (or in numerous smaller dishes) add a 1/2-inch of the warm cheese sauce. Fill the casserole with the drained elbow macaroni. Top with another layer of cheese sauce, covering the macaroni completely and sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Bake the macaroni until the top is brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the casserole dish. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The FN chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
Basic Bechamel Sauce:
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the onion and 1/2 cup of butter and saute until very soft, but do not brown. In another saucepan, scald the milk. Stir the sauteed onions into the milk along with the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Make a blonde roux by mixing the remaining 1/2 cup butter and the flour in a small bowl. Add the roux to the simmering milk and cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.*

Returning to Ultras After Pregnancy
New mother runs Rocky Raccoon 100-miler four months post-partum
The author and daughter Amelia at the 2013 Rocky Raccoon 100 Miler.
I was torn last year when I learned I would not be able to run the Hardrock 100 in July 2013. I had earned one of the race's coveted 140 spots and it was painful to give it up. I had good reason; I was pregnant, and my consolation prize—my daughter Amelia Louise—was well on its way.
Instead, I signed up for the 2013 Rocky Raccoon 100-Mile Endurance Run, which would take place just four months after Amelia was born. The joy was in the training process—as many miles as the doc would allow during pregnancy, the climbs up to 14,000 feet with my pal Brian at eight months pregnant, the stroller runs with Amelia after birth and the few trail runs with my husband, Scott, when we had grandparents watching Amelia.
How does one train to run a 100-miler just four months post partum? After the experience of childbirth, the thought of running an ultra seemed almost trivial. The experiences are similar, however—the pain is quickly forgotten, and you begin planning for the next one.
While training for Rocky Raccoon, I ran with purpose. Gone were the days of spending weekends on the trails to train, replaced by stroller runs on flat gravel or pavement. That, in itself, took great mental power, as I generally refer to running in the city as urban suicide.
Nonetheless, it was time with my daughter that I cherished. As quickly as she is growing, she'll be on trail with me soon enough.
Like other races, I lined up at the start of Rocky Raccoon well trained, mentally prepared and with a plan. Unlike other races, though, I could not anticipate how my body would respond to the fact I was nursing (pumping) on trail. In hopes of keeping up my milk supply for Amelia, I was planning to pump every four hours. I must say it was a bit easier to feed Amelia in-utero.
The pump first came out at mile 20, and that is when the commentary from the other runners, volunteers, and spectators started flying. I became a celebrity among mothers and fathers who understood what I was doing.
As a European, I am not ashamed at being slightly exposed. We often talk about bodily function—well, more often bodily dysfunction—on the trail, so to me, this was no different. Actually, pumping was a far more controlled process than other bodily maladies that can afflict us unexpectedly in later stages of a race.
Pump assembly took about five minutes each time, and forced me to walk so I estimate I lost about 20 minutes every 20 miles. I also took time to play with Amelia at each turn-around. She gave me the inspiration to not worry about what others were thinking, and the energy to tackle the next 20 miles—more than any grilled cheese or peanut-butter pretzel could ever offer.
Runners were amazed, baffled, inspired and, in some cases, perhaps grossed out. Some probably thought I had gone well past the point of reason, but we all know that part of the joy in ultrarunning is the challenge to endure, to push past the point of comfort and even exhaustion.

End-of-life care in the emergency department: nurses who invest in the nurse–patient relationship are better able to manage the emotional aspects of caring for dying people and their relatives

Hey everyone!Thanks for your votes!How'd you like those sailor outfits? Amber and I were so pumped to get immunity, especially since we were both nearly crippled last week! It was also good to get immunity not just for immunity sake, but because we got to rest Amber's knee. We practiced for all three dance-offs, so to not have to do one was good.I thought Cher was great. It was so wild to see Cher up there. We've had a lot of really fantastic, talented stars come through, but what she has accomplished throughout ...

Good product but does taste like sucrasete
will not repurchase
Posted by 5372818926554994897 on Sep 27, 2013
I will not repurchase this product because other stevia products are much better. This product has a strange aftertaste and doesn't dissolve easily in hot liquid.
good for others but ick for me
Posted by Reviewer1336522 on May 03, 2008
I bought this for my boyfriend but he hated it so I decided to use it myself. As much as I like the idea of a natural sugar substitute with pre-biotics, I found this altered the taste of coffee so much that I could not drink it. I even adjusted the quantity of it thinking I put too much, but the taste almost permeates my whole mouth. I love Now products and own many of their products and do not doubt the quality of this product, but I just don't like the taste.
as good as any
Posted by Reviewer2235864 on Jul 17, 2008
I have tried several and really can't tell much difference other than price and packaging the second box I opened from a shipment of 5 had turned to sticks of gum and was resistant to disolving in hot coffe

Q. David Bowers: The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993)
Numismatic Information
Hoard coins: A steady stream of Uncirculated 1899-S dollars-singly, in groups, and by the bag was paid out by the San Francisco Mint during the period from 1942 through the mid-1950s. By the time of the great Treasury release of 1962-1964, only a few bags were left. It is said that the Redfield hoard had a bag of high quality coins (per Wayne Miller) or less than a full bag, in MS-60 to 63 (per John Highfill), probably from the San Francisco Mint in the 1950s via casino shipments to Nevada.
Circulated grades: In worn grades the 1899-S is scarce, a situation not reflected by market values as Mint State coins are not rare-and keep the price of circulated grades down. A number of AU coins, once popularly called "sliders," are known, many of which were taken from Treasury bags.
Mint State grades: Mint State coins are slightly on the scarce side and compare with 1898-S in this regard. Despite their somewhat elusive nature, enough 1899-S dollars remain that examples can be obtained with little difficulty.
As per the distribution curve of most other Morgans, most 1899-S dollars are found at the lower condition levels, MS-60 to 62, which contain about 15,000 to 25,000 coins-equal to fully half of the known pieces. MS-63 coins number about 6,000 to 10,000, above which are 3,500 to 6,000 at the MS-64 stage. MS-65 and finer coins exist to the extent of about 1,000 to 2,000.
The typical 1899-S dollar is very well struck and has excellent lustre. Bagmarks, when present, are usually minimal. Apparently, most coins were not tossed around during storage for many years at the San Francisco Mint.
Prooflike coins: PL coins are plentiful, and probably at least a couple thousand or more exist. DMPL coins are, perhaps, three times scarcer, or so the NGC and PCGS data indicate.
Most PL and DMPL pieces are brilliant and have relatively few bagmarks. Most DMPL coins are not cameos.
Business strikes:
1. Open 99, medium S, Breen-5661, VAM-1, 3-7, 10, others; Open 99, large wide S, Breen-5662, VAM-2, 8, unlisted (repunched S). Often seen in Mint State. Most of the Treasury hoard coins are of the Open 99 style.
2. Closed 99, large wide S, Breen-5663, VAM-9. Usually in low grades. Note: Probably not all 20 pairs of dies were used.
Dies prepared: Obverse: 20; Reverse: 20
Business strike mintage: 2,562,000; Delivery figures by month: January: 336,000; February: 336,000; March: 550,000; April: 284,000; May: 500,000; June: 510,000; July: 46,000; August: none; September: none; October: none; November: none; December: none.
Estimated quantity melted: Probably over 1,000,000 under various acts; more in later private melts.
Availability of prooflike coins: Prooflike coins are plentiful; so much so, that in the early 1980s they did not command a premium over regular Mint State coins. DMPL coins are several times scarcer than prooflikes. Cameo coins are great rarities.
Characteristics of striking: Usually well struck with excellent details and lustre.
Known hoards of Mint State coins: Bags were released in the 1940s and 1950s; a few bags were released 1962-1964; the Redfield hoard is said to have contained up to a bag.
Most Mint State 1899-S dollars are well struck and very attractive.
Additional Information
Distribution of Dollars
The Annual Report of the Director of the Mint, 1899, told of distribution of silver dollars during the fiscal year: San Francisco. In mint July 1, 1898,48,324,220; coinage, fiscal year 1899, 4,248,000; total 52,572,220; In mint July 1, 1899, 51,962,686; total, 51,962,686; distributed from mint, 609,534.

Pueblo Transit, the city's bus service, gets nearly half of its funding from the federal government, so a prolonged shutdown of the federal government could force the city to cut back bus service, City Manager Sam Azad said Monday.
Transit officials haven't worked out a contingency plan yet.
Pueblo Transit has a budget of about $4.7 million a year and $2.2 million comes in government subsidies, according to the 2013 budget.
"A prolonged shutdown of several weeks or more would probably force us to take a look at our bus service," Azad said Monday. "We haven't done that yet."
Operations at Pueblo Memorial Airport would not be affected because the Federal Aviation Administration's air traffic control system is considered an essential service, according to Mark Lovin, the city's airport director.
The city has been awarded multimillion grants for runway and taxiway improvements in the past year, but Lovin said those agreements already are completed.
"I don't foresee a shutdown affecting us," he said.

'Innovation' at Marcy Wins National Award for NYPA
March 2, 2004
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has been named overall "Product Champion" for 2003 by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) for the "development, building, and testing of the Convertible Static Compensator (CSC) Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device" at Marcy Substation in Central New York.
"I'm always delighted when our staff members are recognized for the outstanding work that they do," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer of the Power Authority. "Because of EPRI's significant standing in the electric utility industry, this award is doubly gratifying."
The award, which was accepted by Shalom Zelingher, the Power Authority's director of research and technology development, recognizes major contributions by industry to technology transfer or commercialization of EPRI products for end users. Award winners are nominated by EPRI staff.
The award was presented at EPRI's Power Delivery and Markets advisory meetings and annual program review in Coronado, CA.
Kenneth Hasse, senior vice president of transmission, Ben Wong, a project manager and Zelingher were cited for having provided leadership throughout the collaboration with EPRI to demonstrate multiple power electronic power flow and VAR control applications.
"The development of the Convertible Static Compensator is by all measures a significant milestone in realizing a robust, power electronics integrated transmission grid," said Clark Gellings, EPRI's vice president for power delivery and markets. "The commissioning tests that were conducted in late October 2003 have demonstrated unprecedented control functionalities, particularly the Interline Power Flow Controller, where power exchange between two 345 kV lines was successfully demonstrated."
EPRI's collaborative research programs are designed to respond to the industry's most pressing and expensive issues with innovative solutions that help members work smarter, do more with less, and create new value from existing assets, Gellings said. He noted that the result of such improvements is a stronger competitive position for the power provider and lower prices for the customer.
EPRI, headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, was established in 1973 as a non-profit center for public interest energy and environmental research. EPRI's collaborative science and technology development program now spans nearly every area of power generation, delivery and use. More the 1,000 energy organizations and public institutions in 40 countries draw on EPRI's global network of technical and business expertise.

Topic: Need help on Javascript Timer
I need to display a time remaining count down on a page.
I stored the time remaining on the server so each time the page reloads it will 'synchronise' the time with the server.
I need the javascript to continue counting down from the value provided by the server.
When it goes to zero it will call the server via ajax.
1)How do I send in the time remain to be displayed in the javascript, and what formating do I need to take care of?
I can either process it as a hidden element or an argument in the controller.
2)How do I add a ajax call to the server when time goes to 0?
When Page load Server gives remaining time to client.
Client JS just needs to count down from that given time left.
Everytime the user submits the Time remaining will be refreshed
When Time == 0 javascript calls a method to the server

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (191 votes).
In short: A total let down to the midlandsIn full: As a person travelling from just down the road in Coventry it was disappointing to have to use the car for a climate change race however club members and I were excited about this new(ish) race and decided to enter it. What a joke. I as a runner I challenged members of peoples families who were blocking up the start area to hold coats etc. There was no one policing it at all and that accounted for much of the terrible start area. People who haven't been to a race this big before need help to know where to go and where not to go. The bottle neck after the start of the race is fairly common in a race of this size and wasn't really that much of a big deal at the point I was at. The biggest problem was at the finish where I queued for about 6 minutes (I know cos I watched the clock tick them by) to CROSS the finish line. No need for a chip time - it was wrong too. A complete shambles of a race that could have been the pride of the midlands. Maybe Brum can take some tips from better local races like Kenilworth and Coventry who LIMIT the numbers to that which they know they can cope with. Seriously guys - what were you thinking?????????????Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: Start crowded, with poor use of pens. Course narrowed into tight bend immediately causing immediate stop. Finish also dreadful, with no run off. leadng to back-up at finish line. Please fix next year. Please.Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: PoorIn full: Poor organisation, poor positioning at start, poor start to the route, just lucky I didn't get caught in the problems at the finishDate of review: October 25, 2010
In short: Why can't this race be properly organised. Three years on and the same mistakes are being made.In full: As a local this is the third year in a row I have run this race and yet again Birmingham Council show they just can't get it right. As everyone has mentioned the start was terrible, "running" across the start line then grinding to a halt as the bottleneck began. Also, I found the course much more crowded than last year, and the segregation of slower runners has to be addressed as I kept running into groups of people slowly walking down the course. Last year there were marshalls actively moving people in the wrong sections - what happened this year?? I didn't get caught up in the chaos at the end but friends who also ran the race did and again have the organiseres learned nothing from previous years??I found this years course to be an improvement on previous years but can the council please address the issues outlined by so many people. Has this race got too big too quickly??Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: A shame for Birmingham - this should be a brilliant raceIn full: It felt like this half marathon was an inconvenience to Birmingham rather than embracing it. Starting at 9am was impossible for public transport users (not so green). Chaos at start and finish is well documented - maybe they could also get some people to actually hand the water out at the water stations. Loved the guy DJ'ing in his garden at about 9 miles!! It's all good apart from the rubbish organisation.Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: Says it all about Birmingham city council lack of organizational abilitiesIn full: I ran to support my city's half marathon and it was great being supported by friends and family along the route, which wasn't as dull as I had expected. The start and finish was a farce- knowing they had turned down the local professional marshalling team, I had expected it to be poorly organised. Maybe the council will realise that it is more than a fun run and needs professional organisation to reflect well on the city.Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: Overcrowded event in a welcoming cityIn full: I was dissappointed with this years event. The crowd control and course marshalling was poor.For example there were not enough clear signs for runners to get to the start, even though I arrived next to the start line 15 minutes before the start, there was no physical way to get to my alloted bay. There was a bottle neck approx 25 meters after the start (why was there not a narrower start line?) and there were runners queuing to finish the race loosing all the benefit of chip timing. Parts of the course were poory marshalled leading to competitors cutting up to 10 meters of the course at various corners.Despite these hiccups (which could be sorted) this event is still worth return. Obvious effort has gone into the organsing and all helpers were excellent.This event has a positive vibe and I'd love for it to continue.Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: Not bad - but could do betterIn full: For the c.15000 people that took part, this could have been a frustrating event. This was my first HM and on home turf, so I had almost no idea what to expect.Travel: not good. No trains coming into B'ham until after 9am (start time). No clear signs for parking. No info on website about suitable buses & where they would stop due to raceday road closures.Start & Finish: Chaotic, but good natured.Route: Mostly flat. Not sure what some people are moaning about re: hills. There were some inclines & 2/3 v.short rises. No problems.Water/drinks stations: Obvious where they were and marked on route map.Overall: I will do this again, but do hope things could be done better. Will the BCC improve things? Find out next year!!Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: A classic example why you should never let a council organise anything!In full: Totally agree with other postings that this was a fiasco. Being local I managed to avoid a lot of the travel issues but the start and finish were a joke. Only good point was the support along the route. This event reflects badly on Birmingham - tried mailing the organisers this morning and, guess what, their address is down. The event needs to be taken over by a professional company such as those that organise Reading, GNR etc. Maybe something positive will come out of the Public spending Review and this event will be outsourced! Date of review: October 25, 2010
In short: what did they get rightDate of review: October 25, 2010

The Future of Social Work as a Profession
This is an introductory, overview article that summarizes some of the major issues social work will encounter as a profession in the 21st Century. Employment trends are projected. Clinical and other direct services employment appears to be much more pervasive than employment in organization and management services. Professional employment data show that non metropolitan employment will be more prevalent than employment in large cities. Social work in schools will be a major area of growth. So will programs to provide treatment and other alternatives to prison for those involved with illegal drugs. Some of the effects of current political issues and the 2004 elections on social work are also discussed.

Spring in the Desert
I love this time of year. The desert is waking in all its colorful glory. The palo verde trees are sending their yellow confetti across the streets, the daisies are dancing in yards and my favorite, the giant saguaro cacti, are getting their crowns.
The saguaro is only found in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and northern Mexico. They can grow to be 40 to 50 feet tall and have as many as 25 arms. Each one of those arms develops its own crown of white flowers in the spring and red fruit in the summer. They can live to be over 200 years old.
The saguaro cactus is the Arizona state flower. It is a stately cactus and seeing them marching across the desert is something that shouldn't be missed. I often wonder what the early explorers and settlers thought as they came across these prickly "trees."
As our Arizona temperatures reach the triple digits it is wonderful to be able to look out and see nature's bounty. What special bounty does your area have?

Oh Rita-I love saguaro cactus. They are just happy and majestic and magic!!I used to love the stretch of Hwy 17 around Black Canyon City when you start seeing the Saguaros on the way from Prescott to Phoenix. And I have some great photos of saguaros in Tucson!!ReplyDelete
I cheer each year when the saguaro get their crowns! Its like they are celebrating spring too :)ReplyDelete
