DAUGAARD: State not banning 85 octane, but cracking down on mislabeling
I want to protect South Dakota consumers. I want to avoid a fuel shortage in South Dakota. And I want to keep gas prices down. This spring, state inspectors discovered that some gas stations were selling low-grade 85 octane gasoline but mislabeling the fuel as 87 octane. The state immediately acted to stop the practice of mislabeling, and turned the evidence from the inspections over to the Attorney General and states attorneys to consider prosecution.
As the Department of Public Safety (DPS) staff was investigating the mislabeling, it made a surprising discovery -- that a legal technicality made 85 octane fuel illegal in South Dakota. 85 octane has been sold in South Dakota for decades, and it is the primary low-grade fuel offered in the Black Hills. But it turned out that it was technically illegal all along. I asked Attorney General Jackley to look into the matter, and he confirmed this finding.
Western South Dakota gets its fuel from Colorado and Wyoming, where 85 octane is refined and sold. Refiners told me that, if the state immediately banned 85 octane, there would be fuel shortages West River. July and August have a high risk for fuel shortages anyway because of the busy travel and tourism season. In fact, late last week I waived regulations on the hours of operation for fuel trucks to allow fuel to be trucked into South Dakota more quickly, because areas of the state were coming close to shortages.
Based on the information from refiners and suppliers, I decided that South Dakota could not risk an immediate ban on 85 octane -- a ban that would be based on a technicality. Instead, I have issued emergency rules that fix the technicality and allow 85 octane to continue to be sold.
At the same time, I have ordered unprecedented steps to protect South Dakota consumers. Some automakers advise against using 85 octane fuel. For the first time, under the emergency rules I issued, gas stations will be required to display cautionary labels on pumps that sell 85 octane. I want consumers to know the facts and decide whether they should use 85 octane in their cars.
I have also ordered state inspectors to purchase new equipment that will allow them to test octane levels at the pump. In the past, inspectors could only discover mislabeling based on the paperwork kept by the gas stations. That doesn't make sense. I am not going to tolerate mislabeling. State inspectors will now have an enhanced ability to find mislabeling and stop it.
Some critics have expressed skepticism about the threat of a gas shortage. They allege that the refiners and suppliers are exaggerating the problem. I want to find out the truth. Over the next few months, the State will hold open, public hearings to decide, in the long-term whether 85 octane should be allowed in South Dakota. At that hearing, we will be able to ask tough questions of the suppliers about the threat of a shortage. Everyone with an opinion will have a chance to be heard.
But in the short term, South Dakota cannot risk a gas shortage over the summer. We will accept the word of the refiners in the short term, while we scrutinize their claims for the long term.
Critics have also accused me of allowing fuel to be sold in South Dakota that can harm automobile engines. This criticism ignores that fact that 85 octane is nothing new in South Dakota -- it has been sold here for decades.
The State is not endangering consumers. It is protecting consumers more than ever by getting tough on mislabeling, adding cautionary labels on 85 octane for the first time, strengthening state inspections, and holding public hearings to scrutinize the threat of shortages.
We should be cautious about more regulation. More regulation of the free market leads to less consumer choice and higher gas prices.
I believe in free markets and fair markets, based upon honest information. The State is ensuring that consumers have good information -- so they can decide whether to purchase cheaper 85 octane, or whether to pay a little more for 87 octane or another product.

1977 Ford Dipstick question
I have a 1977 ford f-250 with a 400M in it and it does not have a dipstick.. I was wondering if anybody knows where i can get one at. I cant seem to find one anywhere.. Also.. Somebody told me that the dipstick from a 351C would fit????
Sponsored Links | |||
351M and 400 are the same block, and therefore the same dipstick ... as long as both are 2wd or 4x4, IIRC. I think that perhaps the 4x4's had a dipstick tube that threaded right into the pan, whereas the 2wd ones went into a hole in the block??? 351C engines had a lower deck height, and a smaller capacity oil pan, too ... as they were in passenger cars only. There should be a Ford engineering part number, something like "D7TE-6750-AA" stamped right into the dipstick itself. Your local Ford dealer's parts department should be able to cross-reference that engineering number to a parts sales number (i.e D7TZ-6750-A) and then tell you if it is the correct dipstick for your application. An auto wrecker may also have access to interchange and application data through their Hollander manuals ... right Rob Keller? (if you're reading this) If push comes to shove ... and nobody is willing or able to help with this, my suggestion would be to pull the dipstick and tube from the same engine at a wrecker so that you know you have a matching combination. |

I am classically trained professional violinist for 15 years.
I play for two different orchestras and every year we play Handel's Messiah at church and ASG-1 is amazing at reproducing live feeling of this music.
Just listening to live recording of Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique by LA Phil/ Gustavo Dudamel, timbre of strings so accurately portrayed/ not too aggressive.
Very good dynamics with thumping timpani parts and wide and deep sound-stage..
I occasionally hear coughing from the audience and I can almost pin point where they are seated. Amazing!
I just listened to the1959 Boston symphony version of this. Dynamics, timbre and soundstage are really all magnificent.
If you really want to be impressed, find Jochum's version of Carmina Burana.

Raising the eligibility for Medicare is not exactly the most obvious solution for the program. With Social Security, it makes some sense: Social Security benefits are the same no matter how old you are, and the longer people keep working, the more you collect from them in payroll taxes.
But with Medicare, people are much less expensive between the ages of 65-67; it's later that the costs start to escalate. Sure, you'll save some money on doctor's visits, and of course some people will die before they enroll. But overall, it's not much of a fix--particularly since many of those people will simply end up on subsidized insurance through the exchanges.
So why is this proposal gaining currency? The progressive answer is that Obama is evil, or craven; the conservative answer is that they've got him on the run. Tyler Cowen suggests more plausible possibilities:
1. I infer he understands that the Medicare Payment Advisory
Board isn't going to live up to the high hopes for it. It may not
even survive.
2. I infer he understands that most other plans for Medicare cuts
won't get through Congress, and that it will only get tougher to
pass such plans each year.
3. I infer he understands that somewhat fewer Medicare recipients
at any point in time will, possibly, make it easier to reform and
indeed improve other aspects of the program.
4. I infer he understands that Medicare truly is the
budget-buster of our time and that its future will not ever be
ruled by technocratic principles.
Partisans will want to blame this on the other party, but both sides have demagogued the issue when it suited them. If there were an easy solution, we would have implemented it already.

The Blighty press were all set to run "rip-off Britain" stories when rumours started to circulate that Redmond was about to change £40 rather than the $39.99 US price. This was fueled by the fact that Amazon.co.uk is currently offering Windows 8 on pre-order for £49.99. That is the price for a physical disk and the tabloids are easily confused.
Microsoft said that the upgrade will be just £24.99. Customers who bought a Windows 7 PC after 2 June 2012 will be able to get their digital copy of Windows 8 for £14.99 via windowsupgradeoffer.com.

Raised in Clydebank, Duncan Bannatyne started his career in the Royal Navy, but was discharged after going absent without leave. He began his business career by purchasing an ice cream van in Stockton-on-Tees for £450. After expanding and then selling the business, he started a nursing home business, and has since moved into health clubs, bars, casinos, and property.
Bannatyne was appointed an OBE for his charity work. He declined an opportunity to compete on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, saying that he was "too old to sleep on a canvas bed." He had to pull out of Only Fools On Horses after sustaining an injury.
In 2010, it was announced that he would front a show, Homeless Hotel, in which ten homeless people would compete for a job. However, the announcement was actually a spoof put out by the charity Shelter, with Bannatyne's full support.

From Pictland to Alba: 789 - 1070In the 780s northern Britain was dominated by two great kingdoms; Pictavia, centred in north-eastern Scotland and Northumbria which straddled the modern Anglo-Scottish border. Within a hundred years both of these kingdoms had been thrown into chaos by the onslaught of the Vikings and within two hundred years they had become distant memories. This book charts the transformation of the political landscape of northern Britain between the eighth and the eleventh centuries. Central to this narrative is the mysterious disappearance of the Picts and their language and the sudden rise to prominence of the Gaelic-speaking Scots who would replace them as the rulers of the North.From Pictland to Alba uses fragmentary sources which survive from this darkest period in Scottish history to guide the reader past the pitfalls which beset the unwary traveller in these dangerous times. Important sources are presented in full and their value as evidence is thoroughly explored and evaluated. Unlike most other volumes dealing with this period, this is a book which 'shows its workings' and encourages the readers to reach their own conclusions about the origins of Scotland.Key Features:* The first book in over twenty years to explain the destruction of the Picts and the rise of the Scottish kingdom from contemporary accounts alone* Recounts and evaluates modern scholarship developing readers' awareness of recent debates and controversies * Subjects contemporary sources to rigorous examination allowing students to appreciate the strengths and pitfalls of different types of evidence* Locates early Scottish history firmly within a European context |

Oxfordshire has one of the most breath-taking and varied series of landscapes in the United Kingdom, framed by the glorious Chiltern Hills and plunging down towards the Thames Valley. There are outdoor activities for all the family here, from boating and climbing to walking and cycling, and the kids will love Oxfordshire's many theme and wildlife parks. Visitors come to this exceptionally beautiful southeast English county throughout the year, and a three star hotel in Oxfordshire makes an ideal and affordable base for a family or any other getaway. Attractive three star hotels in Bicester, Oxford, Banbury, Kidlington or any other of the county's cities and towns allow you to easily explore all the attractions on offer.
Lovely 3 Star Hotels in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire's attractive three star hotels provide their guests with every convenience. The idea is to provide you with a comfortable and well-serviced base so that you may explore Oxfordshire's many delights at your leisure. The county has good public transport provision, so whether you're bringing your car along or rely on the railways and coach companies you'll not be disappointed in your efforts to reach the attractions. From Blenheim Palace to Oxford's old colleges and museums, and from the shopping opportunities on Bicester high street to afternoon tea in Banbury, there's so much to see and do here. Facilities in Oxfordshire three star hotels such as stately Eynsham Hall in Witney and Vanbrugh House Hotel in Oxford often include a fitness centre, and as well as a bar-lounge in reception guests will have good Wi-Fi access and a range of standard services such as dry-cleaning, laundry and child-minding.
On the Net at Oxfordshire 3 Star Hotels
The high-flying business community was until recently the only group to have guaranteed access to fast broadband, but now this has extended down the ranks and today practically every three star hotel in Oxfordshire offers it. It has become a part of our lives (for better or worse!), and if you travel with kids you'll know how they value it for gaming and social networking. Rest assured that an Oxfordshire three star hotel such as Mercure Banbury Whately Hall will provide you with usually free internet access throughout, including in your guestroom, so you need never be disconnected from your friends, family and international news whilst on your travels.
Outdoor Activities from Oxfordshire 3 Star Hotels
One of the major reasons cited by visitors for their coming to Oxfordshire is the beauty of its landscapes and cultural richness of its great cities such as Oxford. With picturesque towns and villages like Banbury, Chipping Norton and Didcot also dotting the landscape, and numerous world class theme parks too, there's no end to the possibilities for adventure holidays in the great outdoors. Stay at an Oxfordshire three star hotel to explore the delights of Millets Farm Falconry in Abingdon, or head for Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens for a brilliant family day out. From historic architecture in Oxford to a wealth of museums and art galleries, Oxfordshire has something for all ages and inclinations.

Why the Rich Take More Risks
Do the wealthy take more risks because they are wealthy, or are they wealthy because they take more risks?
Both might be true. Yet a new study suggests that larger wealth may be more of a cause of risk-taking than a result. The study, by Barclays Wealth, polled people with $1.5 million or more in investible assets. It found that those with $15 million or more in wealth were more likely than the lesser millionaires to agree with the statement that "I buy and sell investments more than I should."
They also were more likely than those with $1.5 million or more to agree with the statement that "to do well in financial markets you have to buy and sell often," and that "I attempt to strategically time the market as opposed to adopting a buy and hold strategy."
Granted, this is a survey buy a wealth-management firm. And wealth-management firms like active traders more than plodding buy-and-holders. Yet Barclay's says the hyper-active rich traders probably are trading more than they should.
"Having much more money to trade with leads one to trade too much," the survey said.
Indeed, the richest people in the survey are more likely to agree with the statement, "I wish I could take a more disciplined approach to my finances." Not surprisingly, millionaire men take far more risks than millionaire women, and those who earned their fortunes in real estate took more risks than entrepreneurs or executives. By region, Asians took the most risks.
Do you think the rich are rich because they take risk, or do they take more risks because they are rich?

JGA-502, that gun is the Fender Stratocaster of the autopaint world. There is no gun, new or old that feels better in the hand.
Brian |
I agree, I still have three hanging in the shop. I shoot blending solvent through one now and then but they haven't seen paint for years. Fender Stratocaster it was at one time. Brian, you need to write a auto body book or do some video to sell. Man you sure spend some time here and other sites helping everybody.
Bob, the writing of the book is easy, it is the marketing that is hard. I have shopped it to a number of publishers, no luck. I heard things like "We are just starting one with XXX (name your big boy "guru") so thanks but no thanks". And all I can think of is, geez, there are a dozen books out there by that guy and they are all the same, and they leave out a bunch. But, people buy what they know.
Anyway, I'll get to it and publish it myself one of these days. Thanks for the incuragement Bob, I'll get you an autographed copy Brian |
Maybe an Ebay store and your own website might be all you would need to get it selling, Possibly ads in the car mags, etc. I agree the books I've seen all seem to be very basic. The way you present your stuff makes it very understandable. I'm sure you'd do well. With today's technology maybe a disc would be an easy way to put this stuff out, easy to do, and easy/economical to ship. Good luck with it.
Bob's right on. With the Internet advantage it's very easy to self promote something and ebay is an even greater tool.
IMO, there are a ton of paint job books/vids out but they are just complete jobs which is great but I see a real need for REPAIR How Too's. They all show you how to body work and paint but the real mysteries are in what to do when you screw up,touch up and have a previous kandy job thats been wacked by some idiot,ect. I'm a novice by your side and I could have a ton of work from repairs but I know very little about the methods used so I turn them down. I recently did a blend on a glass cowel hood,purple w/ pink flames,for a friend's wife who let me "experiment" with it and after talking with several pro's,got as many different ways to do it. It's easy to paint from the get go but fixing a screw up is where the lack of info is at. Fender Strat huh? Now that;s something I could give you guy's lessons on. That's what I did for the majority of my life instead of P&B. Only one I have left is a 62 Sea Foam Green babe,made quite a few bucks with her. |
Hey martin, screw the publishers! Write the magazines, I just got a couple of vette parts catalogs and they have paint books in there and so do some of the t-bird parts suppliers. There are a couple of big book sellers in ebay, the best one is "onehorse" I just got a shop manual from him. Give him a call. |

VA's Fiduciary Program:
Improved Compliance and Policies Could Better Safeguard Veterans' Benefits
GAO-10-241: Published: Feb 26, 2010. Publicly Released: Mar 29, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Many individuals receiving monthly compensation and pension benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have mental impairments that prevent them from managing their finances. VA's Fiduciary Program selects and oversees third parties, called fiduciaries, to help manage and protect beneficiaries' funds. GAO examined (1) how effective program policies and procedures are in monitoring fiduciaries and safeguarding beneficiary assets, and (2) challenges VA faces in improving program performance and oversight. GAO reviewed program policies, analyzed a nationally representative random sample of case files, interviewed Central Office managers and staff, and conducted three site visits to Fiduciary Program offices which accounted for 25 percent of program beneficiaries. During these visits GAO interviewed regional office managers and staff and conducted 32 file reviews.
VA's Fiduciary Program has policies in place that are intended to ensure that qualified fiduciaries are selected and regularly monitored; however, insufficient staff compliance with some policies and weaknesses in others hinder VA's ability to safeguard veterans' benefits. For example, VA was late in conducting required follow-up visits to monitor fiduciaries or provided insufficient documentation to show whether these visits were conducted in about 18 percent of the cases GAO reviewed. In addition, while GAO estimated that nearly 40 percent of fiduciaries who were required to submit financial reports to demonstrate how beneficiary funds are managed turned their reports in late, VA did not always take actions to obtain them on time or provide documentation that an attempt had been made, as required by VA policy. GAO also found that files did not always contain documentation that a bond was secured when required to safeguard beneficiary estates or that the requirement was waived. Fiduciary Program managers and staff said that they did not always comply with VA policies due, in part, to a lack of time, resources, and staff. In addition, VA's policies for conducting on-site reviews of professional fiduciaries who manage funds for multiple beneficiaries do not ensure these fiduciaries are effectively identified and monitored. For example, VA's policy may not ensure that all fiduciaries who need to be reviewed are identified because the agency's policy allows the use of the fiduciary's name--which may be entered inconsistently--to match them to beneficiaries rather than requiring a unique identifier, such as a Social Security number. Moreover, VA does not have a nationwide quality review process to ensure that these reviews are conducted properly and consistently. GAO identified two key challenges that hinder VA's ability to improve Fiduciary Program performance and oversight. First, managers and staff in the three regional offices visited said VA's electronic fiduciary case management system does not provide sufficient information and is cumbersome to use. For example, the system limits staff's ability to track multiple actions on a case or enter all needed information. Also, the system does not generate comprehensive management reports that would facilitate effective oversight. In addition, managers and staff indicated that available training may not be sufficient to ensure they have the necessary expertise to carry out program responsibilities. Moreover, many managers and staff had less than 2 years of program experience, and the lack of sufficient training may have contributed to inconsistent compliance with some program policies. VA is developing standardized training that it expects to implement some time in fiscal year 2010. VA is also piloting a consolidated Fiduciary Program unit covering 14 western units, in part, to address program challenges. While the pilot is intended to improve program performance and oversight, managers and staff noted that difficulties, such as not having resources in place and up-to-date case files, impeded effective implementation. VA has not yet evaluated the impact and effectiveness of this model.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In a November 2010 update on this recommendation, VBA stated that they have evaluated alternate approaches to meet the electronic case management needs of the Fiduciary Program and have decided to replace the Fiduciary Beneficiary System. A Request for Information has been prepared and released to the private sector to accomplish this.
Recommendation: To ensure that maximum efforts are made to safeguard beneficiary assets, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should evaluate alternative approaches to effectively and efficiently meet the electronic case management system needs of Fiduciary Program managers and staff. This could include developing or acquiring a replacement system or enhancing the existing system.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In an April 2010 Fast Letter, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) directed its staff to collect a unique identifier on all fiduciaries and input this information into the Fiduciary Beneficiary System (FBS). In a subsequent conversation, a Fiduciary Program Central Office official told GAO that one of the ways the unique identifiers will be used is to determine whether professional fiduciaries meet the criteria for having a financial audit, known as an on-site review. The same FAST letter also requires VA regional offices to submit all signed on-site review reports and supporting documentation to the Central Office within 10 days of completion for a quality review.
Recommendation: To ensure that maximum efforts are made to safeguard beneficiary assets, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should improve the policies for periodic on-site reviews of professional fiduciaries by taking additional actions such as: (1) requiring a unique identifier for all fiduciaries to better determine which professional fiduciaries meet the criteria to have on-site reviews; and (2) implementing a nationwide systematic quality review process to examine completed on-site review reports.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In VA's response to our recommendations and its November 2010 update, the agency stated that it has issued guidance and provided extensive training to both management and staff on a variety of issues, including file documentation, bond acquisition and follow-up with fiduciaries on late financial reports.
Recommendation: To ensure that maximum efforts are made to safeguard beneficiary assets, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should ensure that policies regarding file documentation, follow-up with fiduciaries for late financial reports, and bond acquisition are understood and carried out by staff. This might be accomplished by increasing standardized training for staff, clarifying certain policies, and improving management review and oversight.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In November 2010, VBA stated that it has conducted a full analysis of the Western Fiduciary Hub pilot project, including lessons learned.
Recommendation: To ensure that maximum efforts are made to safeguard beneficiary assets, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should move forward with developing a plan to systematically evaluate the extent to which the hub pilot project is addressing identified program weaknesses. This could include documenting lessons learned during implementation.

This is the first for a Sunday Morning Dawg. Here, I've got two dogs in my easy chair, giving them a good scratching. We've got Beau-dog, who you all know, and Trickie dog, who you met last week. I was watching television and giving the dogs their due, when the picture was snapped. Yeah, I've got my mouth open. I was probably talking to someone.
That's Beau with my left hand and Trickie on my right. It's as good a dawg picture as any.

1977-79 Sportscaster Cards
Hey guys. I just found a huge lot of sportscaster cards that I forgot my dad gave to me. It looks like a pretty full set from 77-79. Are there any cards I should be looking for?
Any info is greatly appreciated. I usually deal with comics and haven't touched cards in about 15 years.
Am I going to learn karate? The Dane Cook of martial arts? No. |
12-24-2012, 03:03 PM | #2 (permalink) |
The higher the number the rarer the card. They came in series, so Joe Namath 03-20 is card number 20 in series 3. 23-04, Nolan Ryan $30, 61-16 Roberto Clemente$30, 72-17 Joe Paterno $30, 78-02 Magic Johnson $250, 77-10 Wayne Gretzky $300, 74-18 Larry Bird $350 are some of the most valuable cards in an old price guide I have. There are a few basketball cards I'm interested in if you are trading any of these.

I just went through the set and found a few that are worth getting graded. Should I go with BGS (BVG in this case) or PSA since these cards are from the late-70's?
I'd definitely go BGS if these were modern cards.
Am I going to learn karate? The Dane Cook of martial arts? No. |

Soraya Clavijo, Premio Nacional de Flamenco por Bulerías Carmen Amaya (Córdoba 2004). Her journey began in Jerez de la Frontera in 1977, and at the age of thirteen she took her first flamenco steps with Ana Maria López. Belén Fernández planted within her the love of classical ballet.
At the age of nineteen she moved to Sevilla, where she began her artistic career in various flamenco clubs while she continued to train under the tutelage of greats the likes of Eva la Yerbabuena, Javier Latorre and Joaquín Grilo, among others.
In 2001 Soraya´s artistic explosion was met by the critical acclaim of the Flamenco Festival of Mont de Marsan as well as her classification as candidate for the Bulerías Premio Carmen Amaya 2001 award in the Concurso Nacional de Córdoba. In 2002, this success would take her to perform in the Festival de la Unión with celebrated pianist, Diego ¨El Churry¨ Amador.
During these years Soraya often frequented Japan, where she gave flamenco dance courses and took part in a number of various shows and performances.
Educated in Jerez´s school of flamenco, she dances flamenco with a style that is difficult to compare to others, though it has many influences. ¨I´m not like anyone else. I´m not a radical purist. All that is well done is well done , and I´m not closed to anything as long as it is professional and done carefully.¨

A bent or damaged rear derailleur hanger can often mean a long walk to the next service stop, or the end of the ride altogether. The LifeLine Emergency Gear Hanger allows you to fix your rear derailleur securely in place in order to continue cycling to a suitable service point. Simply unmount the derailleur from the gear hanger, open your quick release lever and remove the standard quick release retaining bolt. Replace the retaining bolt with the emergency hanger and bolt before mounting the derailleur on the emergency hanger. Adjust the tension barrel on the derailleur to align the cage with your chosen gear on the cassette. Please note changing gear with Emergency Gear Hanger installed is not recommended.
