Can a highrise residential owner or agent f the owner hire anyone of the street to do their electrical, or does this person have to hold a C of Q in electrical?
Anyone doing work for someone else must have an electrical license ( C of Q ) and must also be working for a contractor licensed by the Electrical Safety Authority ( ESA ).
Why would you want someone who is not a proffessional playing with such a dangerous part of your house?
All electrical work must be done by qualified licensed persons, check with ESA (electrical safety authority)
However, homeowners , with proper permits from esa, can do their own work. Your best and most safe to hire a licensed professional.
Many good answers already provided, however, if there is electrical work done in your home by unqualified people, and you have a fatal shock or fire, your insurance may refuse benefits.
Electricity kills hundreds of people every year in Canada alone, not counting ones caused by electrical fires. Not only do you have to consider the people living within your home, but the people within the same building or adjoining structure... and what about that man doing the work??? if he is injured in YOUR home and does not have proper insurance, YOU could responsible if he gets electricuted in your home.
I once walked into a duplex home where someone wired their basement with speaker wire. It was 12 gauge wire and could withstand the current, BUT the insulation covering those wires was only rated for 12 volts. The electricity punctured holes every 12 inches or so and caused the hole wire to catch fire.... causing toxic fumes within the home AND his neighbors house, who sued him for his hazardous wiring...AND there was no grounding wire to prevent shocks.
ESA and licensed electricians are the safest bet... check their references and make sure they are registered with the ESA and take permits out for their work.
Anyone can pretent they are a trained professional, only their paperwork can prove it... ask for it, they should be proud to show it to you!!
Electrilight Ltd. (home of the safe electrician)
The answere to your question is yes he can, however the owner accepts all the responsilblity that the contractor or whom ever he hires does. It not a good idea to have a non license electrican do any type of repair work to any building or home it is a big liability issue for them. To sum things up the building owner should only hire certifed contractors for any type of repair.
There have been a number of good answers here, but I don't think they are what the OP is looking for. What I am thinking what is really being asked, can the building maintenance man or the maintenance company do electrical work in an apartment building.
The answer is depends. It depends on how the building is classed (residential, commercial residential, etc) and what sort of training is provided to the individual doing the work.
The requirements state essentially that a competent person must do any work (including electrical) in a place that is deemed not residential or a construction project. In many cases, a commercial residential building is not a residential but a commercial building. So as long as they are trained, and are not constructing anything, the building maintenance man can do it. So you do not need a licensed electrician to change bulbs or a fixture, change a switch or receptacle, change out a pump motor, etc. You would need an electrician if you were renovating a unit, installing new underground lighting or anything else new.
The second and follow-on question, why would the owner not want to use a qualified guy?

Instead of a regular entry.. you get How to make cinnamon rolls.. step by step.. with pictures.. this is my grandmother's recipe. enjoy!
Cinnamon Rolls
What you need
2 yeast
2 tablespooons sugar
1 1/3 cups warm water
1 1/3 cups milk, scald and cool
1 stick of margerine
3/4 cups sugar
dash salt
6-7 cups of flour
for filling:
brown sugar
chopped walnuts
melted butter or margerine
bake at 400* for 15-20 minutes
*just a note.. use the recipe I wrote down.. not the one in the picture.. I added a little more of everything to get more cinnamon rolls. lol*
small bowl, or small pyrex measuring cup- combine warm water, yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar.. mix with wire whisk and let sit for at least an hour, it'll most likely double in size.
In small saucepan heat milk until it comes to a boil, then remove and add stick of margerine and let melt, and cool.
In large bowl - sugar and the dash of salt
Once the milk mixture is partially cooled, add it to the sugar and salt and mix with wire whisk until combined.
Once yeast is ready, add to bowl with milk, sugar, margerine and salt
now, start adding your flour.. one cup at a time.
once its ready, knead it so it looks like this.
then cut it in half, and put each half in a bowl to rise
now wait about 2 hours.
I forgot to take a picture of the dough doubled in size.
start with first bowl, lightly flour the counter or work surface and tip dough out of bowl, cut in half..
then carefully flatten it like this..
and start with melted butter, then a little cinnamon, then brown sugar and nuts, top off with a little more cinnamon
roll it up!
and slice, I usually do about one inch slices.
place in pan and repeat with rest of the dough
now let them rise, at least an hour.. I usually wait 2 hours.
then preheat oven to 400 and bake for about 15 or 20 minutes, depending on your oven
til they look like this
but they're not ready to eat yet!
let them cool for about an hour and then make your glaze.
very easy.
2 cups confectioners sugar, and just a little butter and vanilla, then add milk slowly til its got the consistancy you want.
then frost and eat!
If there were no words...
This weblog has gone through many changes since I started it in May 2003. It was originally created to keep family and friends informed of my grandmother's (who we called Mema) progress when she was diagnosed with a recurrance of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Sadly, she unexpectedly passed away on May 22, 2003 and I miss her more than words can express. This weblog then became a grief journal. Now its a little of all of the above. contact: email@example.com

Priority Area 5. Harness Data through Information Sciences to Improve Health Outcomes
FDA receives a vast amount of information from a variety of sources, including product submissions, adverse event reports, de-identified patient data from health care providers, and results from surveys and basic scientific research.
Successful integration and analysis of data from these disparate sources would provide knowledge and insight not possible from any one source alone. A few of the many currently untapped opportunities include:
- Monitoring adverse event trends and disease outbreaks;
- Combining data from multiple clinical trials and postmarket studies as well as preclinical data;
- Evaluating and comparing effectiveness and safety of medical and veterinary products in particular sub-populations, including sex/gender and race/ethnicity analysis, and ultimately host genomics and/or genomic response data; and
- Conducting large-scale active surveillance for rare events and data- and text mining for a variety of research purposes.
FDA is in the early stages of constructing the IT infrastructure necessary for this type of complex data integration, but full realization of the enormous potential in harnessing these diverse data will require extensive improvements to the current FDA IT environment.
Within each FDA Center activities are underway that illustrate the range of possibilities and the potential for benefits to public health that would be obtainable. Expansion, coordination, and improvement of the existing IT infrastructure will enhance and augment these ongoing activities.

A Good Year for GMO Companies
In the most recent issue of Rachel's Democracy and Health News, Peter Montague wrote about all of the great things that happened for the biotech industry in 2005, and how those victories have literally planted the seed for further corporate success in years to come. Things "couldn't have turned out better for the GMO crop companies if they had planned it this way," he wrote.
Now that everyone acknowledges GMOs are "leaky technology", spreading into nearby fields and contaminating organic crops, some countries are trying to contain GMO crops and pollen, enforcing strict rules about where the seeds can be planted. In the US, probably the biggest success in enforcing a buffer zone between GMO crops and conventional crops came from Anhueser Busch, which didn't want its Missouri rice fields contaminated with GMO produce.
Apart from Aneuser Busch, some counties have successfully demanded that GMOs stay out. But Anhheser Busch demanded–and got–a 120-mile buffer zone between any fields that contain GMO seeds and their own fields, which is probably a wider area than any of the counties able to pass a moratorium. Now if only we could pit more corporations against the GM industry, we might get somewhere…

Open air screenings for La Scala
Plans for a giant screen to relay opera and ballet into the centre of Milan are being put in place to counteract the effects of the temporary closure of the La Scala opera house.
The famous 18th-Century theatre has shut down while a massive refurbishment programme is undertaken, and is not expected to reopen until 2004.
Performances are now being staged at the newly built Archimboldi theatre, which is sited in an industrial zone of the city, three miles from the city centre.
Bosses now want to place a screen outside the famed theatre in Piazza della Scala, partly to help local retailers who fear trade will be damaged by the closure of La Scala.
"This would definitely be a wonderful thing for the city and it would draw out the tourists," said theatre spokeswoman Laura Valente.
It is hoped up to 3,000 spectators will be able to view performances on 30ft-high screen, transforming the piazza each night into an open air theatre
It is expected that segments of about half an hour will be shown and not full-length performances, giving audiences a flavour of the quality of La Scala.
Sponsors are now being sought to fund the projections, which are due to begin in December at the start for the theatre's new season.
The 2002-2003 season at the Arcimboldi theatre will feature musicals, jazz concerts, and Placido Domingo singing zarzuela, a form of operetta music popular in his native Spain.
La Scala will start the season with Iphigenie en Aulide by Christoph Gluck, on 7 December, the feast day of Milan's patron saint, Ambrose.
La Scala artistic director Paolo Arca said the new season was "a mosaic rich in creativity" and "a season of suggestions".
Most of the season will still be opera, ballet and concerts, but the La Scala company will be venturing into musicals, jazz concerts and contemporary music in July 2003.
These will include Leonard Bernstein's musical West Side Story, jazz by John Surman, Jack Dejohnette, Enrico Rava, Richard Galliano and Michel Portal, and a special concert of contemporary American music by basso Samuel Ramey.

Hello, We move from postgresql 7.3.2 to 8.1.8. I meet some problems with postgresql 8.1.8. We are using the same code as what we used on postgresql 7.3.2, but we didn't meet the same problem with 7.3.2. (Our code is in C/C++ using postgresql c interface, OS is fedora core 6) We have some processes keep querying database all the time, I found that when I issue "killall postmaster", I get the following log messages in linux console: LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection (for 8.1.8) but I didn't get the above log message with 7.3.2. Another problem is: my processes crashes sometimes because of "unexpected EOF on client connection", but this never happen to my processes when they were running on 7.3.2. One more problem is: sometimes after I killall postmaster, I restart postmaster, I got "connection to database 'dbname' failed" (not always), but I never get into this situation when I use postgres 7.3.2 Can you tell me what I could to do to fix my problem? By the way, I found that postgresql 8.1.8 always log messages to console not to a file, but 7.3.2 log its messages to /var/log/messages file. Thank you in advance.

Osama bin Laden dead: News shared on Facebook, Twitter
NEW YORK (AP) - A soldier in Afghanistan learned about the death of Osama bin Laden on Facebook. A TV producer in South Carolina got a tip from comedian Kathy Griffin on Twitter. A blues musician in Denver received an email alert from The New York Times.
In an illustration of how the information world has changed, many people learned through media formats or devices that weren't available a decade ago that the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks had been killed.
A Facebook alert on his phone woke up Sola Miatudila of Silver Spring, and he learned the news through the social networking site. He was taking a picture of 1600 Pennsylvania Monday he'll post, where else, on Facebook.
"I got all kinds of emails and postings from friends," Miatudila said. "I'm very excited about today, we're here to celebrate as well."
"Spread like wildfire"
"It just kind of spread like wildfire online," said Stephen Vujevica, a student at Immaculata University in Pennsylvania. "It's amazing to see how social media played a part in it."
Vujevica was at his girlfriend's house and both were on their laptops, when she said that many of her friends had updated their Facebook status to note bin Laden's death in Pakistan. He went to Google News to find out that President Barack Obama had scheduled an address to the nation. He searched other sites to get news and credited Twitter with giving him the most immediate information.
Facebook users continue to share their reactions on the site, with groups like "Osama bin Laden is DEAD" or "On a scale of 1 to bin Laden, how good was my hiding spot?" attracting thousands of members.
Twitter user posted live during the raid
Figures are still being tallied, but at its peak around 11:30 Sunday night, people were posting roughly 4,000 tweets a second. One twitter user in Pakistan even unknowingly live-tweeted the U.S. raid that killed bin Laden hours before. He wrote that he heard "a huge window shaking bang here" and posted "I hope it's not the start of something nasty."
Some viewers who went to the White House last night sent their pictures to ABC7. For District resident Corrine Whiting the photo she may post is of a man with a sign bearing a simple message: thank you.
A soldier who identified himself only as Carlos from Queens called New York sports radio station WFAN Monday to note that he and his buddies in Afghanistan learned the news not from commanding officers, but from Facebook.
It was before 10 p.m. ET Sunday that many Washington-based reporters were told to get to work because the president would speak. They were not told why.
Words spreads from first tweet
At 10:25, Keith Urbahn, the chief of staff for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld tweeted: "So I'm told by a reputable person that they have killed Osama bin Laden. Hot damn."
The word spread quickly, even as Urbahn subsequently tweeted that he "didn't know if it's true, but let's pray it is."
Mainstream news organizations began reporting that bin Laden was dead about 15 or 20 minutes later. Some, such as CNN and NBC, were tentative at first. Others, including ABC, were more definitive. Fox News Channel was joyful.
The speed of social media struck some as an epochal moment in news coverage. "If anyone isn't a believer in Twitter as an amazingly powerful news vehicle, last night should convert you," tweeted Chris Cillizza of the political website The Fix.
News sites' traffic, TV{ } viewership surge
Internet traffic surged above normal Sunday night usage. Akamail Technologies Inc., which delivers about 20 percent of the world's Internet traffic, said that global page views for the roughly 100 news portals for which it delivers content peaked at more than 4.1 million page views around 11 p.m. ET. CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC had nearly 15 million viewers between 11 p.m. and midnight Sunday when Obama spoke, led by CNN's 7.8 million. That time on a typical Sunday, the three networks are pulling in 1.7 million viewers, according to the Nielsen Co.
At CNN, which reported at 10 p.m. that Obama would speak, it was another 45 minutes until the speech was connected to bin Laden, even as Wolf Blitzer provided some cryptic teases: "I have my suspicion on what the president is going to announce. Probably something we've been looking forward to, at least from a U.S. perspective, for quite a while." CNN's John King eventually reported the news.
It's no longer unusual these days for social media to reflect the first stirrings of a story, said Mark Kraham, chairman of the Radio Television Digital News Association and news director for WHAG-TV in Hagerstown, Md. Yet Kraham said that conventional media showed care and proper caution in reporting the story through. People would have been offended or hurt if news organizations had reported a story of this magnitude and it turned out to be false, he said.
If social media outlets were quick on the story, many posts were quick to point followers to mainstream news organizations, or to pass on links.
Interest in newspaper front pages brings down Newseum servers
The Newseum, the Washington-based museum devoted to journalism, saw its website crash on Monday because of the crush of people who went to the site to see digital replicas of the front pages from newspapers around the world, a service it has offered since 2002.
The site was processing more than 2,800 requests per seconds when it crashed, said Paul Sparrow, senior vice president for broadcasting.
In New York, where nearly 3,000 people died at the World Trade Center, some of those front pages were blunt: "Rot in Hell" was the message on the New York Daily News front page. "U.S. nails the bastard," the New York Post said on its cover.
Broadcast networks readied special reports on Monday, expanding their evening news broadcasts to an hour to cover the story.
ABC News touted exclusive video of the blood-soaked scene at bin Laden's compound, obtained through a Pakistani-based producer for the network; ABC would not say how the producer got the footage. On Sunday night, the network had to backtrack from an initial Brian Ross report that bin Laden had been killed several days earlier along with about two dozen other al-Qaida operatives.
Ten years ago Aaron Brown worked all day at CNN, broadcasting from a rooftop with the smoke from the World Trade Center in the background. Many Americans got the terrible news from him that day; now he typifies how news delivery is changing in explaining how he first heard bin Laden was dead.
"I was at dinner here and my phone beeped," said Brown, who now teaches journalism at Arizona State University in Phoenix.

Omatic Software's PosPay solution is the only Positive Pay application directly integrated with Financial Edge. Functioning inside Financial Edge and accessible directly from the bank record, PosPay will create "Positive Pay" data files in the format required by your bank. We will also implement any bank's format at no additional charge.
How does it work?
PosPay operates inside Financial Edge directly on the Accounts Payable bank record form. To create files for a bank's Positive Pay/ARP system, users can now activate PosPay by navigating to Banks within Accounts Payable, clicking the "Open" menu option on the appropriate bank, then selecting the "Create Positive Pay Files" option from the bank's menu bar. PosPay remembers the last check number processed and automatically starts with the next check. There is no need to set up export files, run complicated queries, or manually massage your data, PosPay gets just the data wanted and distills it into the format the bank requires. PosPay works with manual, computer, and payroll checks. Unlike a query or export, PosPay can also scan previous check runs to see if any previously processed checks have subsequently been voided and include that updated check status with the current check run.
What is Positive Pay?
Positive Pay is a treasury management service offered by most banks to combat check fraud. Once enrolled in a Positive Pay program (often at no cost), an organization will electronically send check data to the bank. The bank will use this data to authenticate payment of checks and decline any check that does not match the data supplied.
Isn't check fraud the bank's problem?
Recent changes to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) expose organizations to significant penalties if they fail to take "ordinary care" to prevent check fraud. In the words of the Government Finance Review, "legal liability for check fraud losses has now shifted to depositors." Implementing a treasury management policy like Positive Pay can help protect an organization from this liability, and can often pay for itself on the first fraud prevention.

DescriptionGull is a relatively large lake in the Kawishiwi River watershed, 9 miles WNW of Forest Center, and 15 miles ESE of Ely. It is situated in the highlands to the northeast of, and 55' above, Bald Eagle. Just over 500 acres and some 2¼ miles from end to end, Gull is a relatively shallow lake, with ¾ of the lake less than 15' deep and a maximum depth of only 31'. Like the other lakes in the area, the water is remarkably clear.
Gull is on the eastern leg of the Clearwater route, connecting Bald Eagle to the southwest, with the Number Lakes to the northeast, by way of Pietro, Camdre, and, of course, Clearwater. A 40 rod portage at the extreme southeastern end of Gull connects with the narrow, slow moving, (and often mosquito infested) Gull Creek and, after a short paddle, the 190 rod portage down into Bald Eagle. (NOTE: If you are using McKenzie map 18, this portage is incorrectly oriented. From Bald Eagle, the trail actually takes a much more easterly tack than is shown, more closely following the contours of the land, and connecting with Gull Creek at a point farther south. USGS and Fisher maps locate this portage more accurately.)
Most of the forest surrounding Gull is some 175 years old, dating back to the fires of 1824, excepting the area west of the Camdre portage and Pangi, which is of younger, 1894 origins. The Independence Day windstorms of 1999 had limited impact in the Gull area, though standing tree losses were estimated at 10% to 33% for the area farther south, towards Bald Eagle.
CampsitesGull supports five established campsites, three along the northern shore and two on islands off the southern shore. Because through traffic cuts across the far southwest end of the lake, those sites to the northeast provide a measure of isolation from passing travelers.
Planning ConsiderationsThe 190 rod portage out of Bald Eagle is one of the longer, steeper carries in the area. But if you're traveling from the south, the extra effort provides quick relief from the heavily used Bald Eagle -- especially important when seeking out a campsite for the night.
WildlifeGull supports populations of Northern Pike (Esox lucius), Rock Bass (Ambloplites rupestris), Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieui), Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), White Sucker (Catostomus commersoni), and Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens).
Notes and CommentsGull is named for the region's noisiest scavenger, often mistakenly referred to as a "sea" gull. In the BWCA, the most frequently encountered species is the Herring Gull (Larus argentatus).

CLEARWATER — The tow trucks set off from St. Cecelia Catholic Church, led by a white hearse and Ray Bosi's ashes.
The convoy stretched a dozen wreckers deep, driven by men with sunburns and wraparound sunglasses and burning cigarettes. The remains rested in a black and gold urn, tucked into the passenger seat of a Woody's Funeral Home Cadillac.
Here lies Bosi, father of one, grandfather of three, who cruised these streets a million nights before falling off a ladder doing housework at the age of 49. He was not a famous man, but he was loved. In May, he celebrated his one-year wedding anniversary.
Bosi was a Christmas Eve baby. He liked Harley-Davidson motorcycles and old movies and getting on people's nerves. He inherited the family's statuary shop, started in Tuscany by his grandfather, Telmo, and learned to craft statues of ships and pelicans before leaving the business with heart problems. He worked full time in towing, starting a decade ago with AAA, watching the Howard Frankland Bridge.
When he died, his brother Lennie and a woman named Ginger Darling began planning for what came next: the tow truck funeral procession, a local tow tradition. Darling, 59, has organized a dozen in the 30 years she has owned Nationwide Towing, for drivers who died or were killed on duty.
Most of the dozen drivers in the convoy knew Bosi from his last job at Jimmie's Towing, owned by Lennie. Others came out of respect. The local towing industry, cramped, competitive, unappreciated, has formed many rivalries, but this tradition remains sacred.
"On any other day, a lot of these drivers wouldn't stand in the same parking lot," Darling said. "But when it comes to this, we all come together. It's what we are."
On Wednesday afternoon, the procession of chrome and chains turned onto Clearwater's Myrtle Avenue, headed north toward Bosi's shop. Behind the hearse was Lennie, driving his brother's green and white International 4700 wrecker, "Ray's baby." Darling drove close behind, in her one-ton 1987 Ford F-350 flatbed, which she calls "Little Child."
A tiny woman in gold jewelry and blue coveralls, Darling had passed out handmade black bands for drivers' arms or antennas. She calls it an honor to organize the processions, and she keeps the details in a notebook featuring the tow truck from the movie Cars.
Bosi's convoy weaved down Seminole Street, to Jimmie's, on a small corner lot of N Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. Drivers slowed and turned off their flashers and floodlights. Darling stared at the shop and saluted. "Miss you, Ray," she said.
On they drove, at 10 mph, so the heavy-duty wreckers could keep up. Joey Hanousek, a driver for Kotakis Towing, served as a moving blockade, rocketing between intersections and hopping out to stop traffic. His wife, Robin, waited in the cab.
On they drove toward Bosi's home, near the yellow-pebbled lawns of Greenbriar Estates. The drivers stopped outside the front door, near a wooden cross, saluting and honking and sounding their sirens. Darling patted her heart, saluted, gripped the wheel and honked twice.
On they drove across the nine stopped lanes of Main Street. On they drove past strange stares, spurned drivers and a bald man smoking and mowing his lawn.
"What happened here," one man shouted from the sidewalk.
"A funeral," Hanousek shouted back.
The 9-mile procession ended at Kally K's Steakery & Fishery, where the family, in tuxedos and dresses, gathered after the funeral. Bosi's dad, Carl, told the drivers they "did a hell of a job." Three of his sons work in the automotive industry, repairing cars or driving trucks.
"Some of them come a little rough around the edges," Bosi said. "But they got a lot of heart."
The drivers ate shrimp and meatballs, and drank sweet tea before returning to work. Most were still getting calls for help.
"I tell you what," Lennie Bosi told Hanousek. "After this, we're back to being cutthroat."

+++ Welcome to the Institute of Bankers in Malawi Website +++
At inception, the Bank had total assets amounting to K15.96 million with foreign assets amounting to K15.2 million an equivalent of £8.8 million, representing 18.1 percent of the federal currency which was redeemed in Malawi. By 1981, the year its head office moved to Lilongwe, the Reserve Bank of Malawi had expanded its operations when total assets increased to K230.7 million with foreign assets amounting to K43.9 million. In April, 1989, the Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) Act was revised stipulating the Bank's principal functions which are in the interest of the national economy and are in line with the economic policies of the government. Before the revision of the Act, the Reserve Bank of Malawi reported to the Treasury. The 1989 RBM Act, however, made the Reserve Bank of Malawi independent from government under section 4. With this independence, the Reserve Bank of Malawi has the full mandate to conduct monetary policy whereas fiscal policy issues are the mandate of the Ministry of Finance. The Reserve Bank of Malawi therefore has to ensure that fiscal developments are consistent with monetary developments. In 1990, the Reserve Bank of Malawi clocked 25 years of its operations with total assets amounting to K1.03 billion and foreign assets accounting for K324.5 million. By the close of 1998, total assets of the Bank registered a high of K18.8 billion with foreign assets amounting to K11.3 billion. The operations of the Bank have therefore expanded during the years more especially with the growth of the financial sector. This necessitated the building of a new and spacious branch office in Blantyre which was officially opened in November, 1998.

WORKMEN will graft through the night to knock down one last building and make way for the new Bolton Interchange.
Over the last few weeks cranes and diggers have been on site at the junction of Newport Street and Great Moor Street demolishing the old shop units.
The final building to go, formerly The Cash Store, a payday loans shop, will start to be knocked down between 11pm and 5am tonight.
A spokesman from Transport for Greater Manchester, the organisation behind the £48 million project, said they were carrying out the work at night to minimise disruption to motorists and pedestrians.
He added: "It is a tall building and we need to use the road to get the plant hire equipment on site effectively.
"If done overnight there is generally less disruption for Bolton residents."
The interchange is planned as a new, modern and fully accessible bus station, which will be linked to the train station by an enclosed pedestrian footbridge.

Two truck drivers and 16 trucks were ordered off the road in North Platte Wednesday, after officers surprised them with inspections.
The inspections targeted commercial vehicles that might not travel outside the city or pass through weigh stations on their regular routes.
During the special enforcement effort, the Metropolitan Aggressive and Prevention Selective (MAPS) Teams conducted
Fifty-four inspections were conducted, which turned up 171 violations, Nebraska State Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins said.
Inspectors took 16 vehicles out of service (not allowed to continue on the road).
Vehicles are placed out of service for a variety of reasons relating to bad brakes or tires, or other problems that pose immediate safety risks.
In addition, three drivers were taken out of service (not allowed to continue driving. One of them was driving on a suspended license; another was driving too many hours, and one did not have an operators license.
Collins said officers issued a total of $2,425 in fines during the morning.
While most truck owners and operators share our concern for safety, we know some think they can ignore safety standards as long as they avoid the weigh stations," said Colonel David Sankey, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol.
This was the fourth MAPS Team inspection of the year, following previous inspections in Sarpy County, Grand Island and Kearney.
Collins said more surprise inspections are planned this summer in cities and towns across Nebraska.
Troopers check for compliance with federal safety regulations and enforce laws pertaining to weight, size, registration, dyed fuels, and permits associated with commercial vehicles.
The MAPS Team was implemented in 1998 and consists of 36 troopers from the Nebraska State Patrol Carrier Enforcement Division.
On average, 20-24 troopers work each MAPS inspection.
The MAPS Team is funded largely by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Collins said.

INSPIRATION: "My mother – she was always involved in the community. She taught me to give back and now I do the same, as I hope my own children would." – Georgia Panagi

Cambridge Bancorp (OTCBB: CATC) today announced unaudited net income of $12,477,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to net income of $13,254,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. It should be noted the Bank sold its Merchant Services portfolio during the second quarter of 2010. The after tax impact of that sale was $1,591,000 or $0.42 per diluted share. Excluding that sale, unaudited net income of $12,477,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared favorably by 7.0% to $11,663,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $3.25 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $3.51 diluted earnings per share for the prior year. Excluding the Merchant Services portfolio sale, diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $3.09. "We are pleased to report continued core earnings growth for the full year of 2011," noted Joseph V. Roller II, president and CEO. "Our 2011 results are evidence that we continue to execute our business plans and remain focused on providing exceptional service to our customers." "The Bank experienced another historic year for deposit growth with an increase of $131.8 million (13.3%) as consumers and businesses gravitated to more community-oriented institutions. Loan growth achieved similar success with a $58.0 million (21.3%) increase in residential mortgages and a $53.7 million (30.2%) increase in commercial mortgage loans. While we expect the industry will continue to face the challenges of modest economic growth, a low interest rate environment, and increasing regulatory burden in 2012, we are confident in our ability to execute on our strategies to be the compelling choice for consumers and businesses in our markets," added Mr. Roller. For the year ended December 31, 2011 net interest income increased $1,982,000, or 4.7%, to $43.7 million compared to $41.8 million for 2010. The increase in net interest income for the year was driven primarily by sustained deposit and loan growth, as well as a reduction in interest paid on deposits. Lower yields earned on investment securities was the principal cause for the decrease in the Bank's net interest margin of 25 basis points to 3.90% for the year compared to 4.15% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Badger Meter Inc Reports Operating Results (10-Q)
Posted by: gurufocus (IP Logged)
Date: April 26, 2012 03:17PM
Badger Meter Inc (BMI) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2012-03-31. Badger Meter has a market cap of $550.4 million; its shares were traded at around $38.07 with a P/E ratio of 23.2 and P/S ratio of 2.1. The dividend yield of Badger Meter stocks is 1.7%. Badger Meter had an annual average earning growth of 14.8% over the past 10 years.
Highlight of Business Operations:The Companys net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased nearly $18.8 million, or 32.8%, to $76.2 million compared to $57.4 million during the same period in 2011. The increase was due in part to the inclusion in the first quarter of 2012 of Racine Federateds sales as a result of the acquisition on January 31, 2012. Racine Federateds sales for the two months since the acquisition date were $7.4 million. The remainder of the increase was due primarily to higher municipal water product sales, offset by lower sales of specialty product sales due to fewer radios sold to natural gas utilities.
Municipal water sales increased $13.4 million, or 34.4%, from $38.9 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $52.3 million in the first quarter of 2012. These sales represented 68.6% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was due principally to higher sales of residential meters sold with technology and higher commercial meter sales. Sales of the Companys ORION AMR technology products increased 36.1%, while sales of the Itron related products increased 18.3%. In the most recent period, ORION related products outsold Itron related products by a ratio of 3.1 to 1. In both cases, the sales increases were due to higher volumes of product sold. Manual residential meter sales declined due to somewhat lower volumes. Commercial meter sales increased 51.0% in this period over the same period in 2011 due to higher volumes of products sold. Sales of Galaxy fixed network related products increased 80.2% on significantly higher volumes. The Company believes the net overall volume increases represent a return to more normal buying patterns following a period of uncertainty about a number of factors, including municipal spending concerns that had been delaying ordering
Industrial flow products represented 23.3% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These sales increased $8.1 million, or 84.4%, to $17.7 million from $9.6 million in the same period last year. As noted above, Racine Federated was acquired on January 31, 2012 and their sales were included from that point forward. Within this product grouping, Racine Federateds sales were $5.9 million. The remainder of the increase was due to higher sales in nearly all product lines due to higher volumes.
Specialty application products represented 8.1% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These sales decreased $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, or 30.3%, to $6.2 million from $8.9 million during the same period in 2011. Included in this product grouping was $1.5 million in sales from Racine Federated, which mitigated the overall decline in this group. The decrease in sales was due to an 83% decline in sales of radios into the natural gas market. The first quarter of 2011 included significant sales of radios to one particular natural gas customer that did not recur this quarter. This decline was also offset slightly by higher sales of the Companys valve products.
Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2012 increased $5.0 million, or 94.5%, to $10.2 million compared to $5.2 million in 2011, due to higher sales of municipal water products, the addition of Racine Federated and slightly lower product costs.

I am having a problem with queries. First, my setup. I have PostgreSQL 6.3.2 running on a dual PPro200 box with SuSE 5.2, Linux-SMP 2.0.35. The box has 64 meg RAM and 130 meg swap. I have a database that has three tables and several indexes. The two biggest tables have 331,200 rows of information. One of those has 5 columns, the other has 13 columns. I connect to the database via ODBC on a Windows NT 4 SP3 workstation, with Access 97. I am using the Insight Distribution Systems PostgreSQL ODBC driver version 6.30.0249. I can add data to the tables without any problems, however my queries seem to fail miserably, with ODBC call failed. Here's an example. I have the following columns YYYYMMDD HHMM SYSTEM USER USAGE where YYYYMMDD,HHMM,USAGE is int4, SYSTEM is char(16), and USER is char(32). YYYYMMDD, HHMM, SYSTEM, USER are all indexed individually, plus they are all used to create a unique key. The following query is used: SELECT usage.* FROM usage WHERE (((usage.yyyymmdd) Between 19980701 And 19980731) AND ((usage.link)='swbt08')) OR (((usage.link)='swbtja')) ORDER BY usage.yyyymmdd, usage.hhmm, usage.stp, usage.link; When run from psql the answer is returned fairly quickly. When run from Access via ODBC, the system memory starts increasing until it gets to 60/70% on the single postgres process, and CPU is usually below 10% (normal queries shoot CPU up to 50 to 99 % and memory stays around 3 to 8 percent). Then the ODBC call fails and Access doesn't get any information. Also, using Access, when I have the database open, and the ables linked into my Access database, if I open the actual table itself, the same thing happens. The server sucks down memory to PostgreSQL until the ODBC call fails. Anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this? Or ways to fix this? Thanks Greg Youngblood Gregory S. Youngblood ext 2164

Seven billion people in the world, and of those, only 851 have ever attempted what these 69 men and women will attempt: a thousand-mile race up the Iditarod Trail. More people have won Academy Awards than have entered the Iditarod. More people have Super Bowl rings. Nearly as many have traveled to outer space.
This year's competitors come from Alaska and the Yukon and Jamaica and New Zealand and Longyearbyen, Norway; they are engineers and undertakers and and tour operators and parents and emigrants and students. For 16 of them, it is the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race they'll spend on the runners, though many of them have been behind the scenes for years as handlers, volunteers and supporters. And for all of them, veterans and rookies alike, it looks like it will be a rough race, with trail conditions that might generously be called less than ideal.
But Thursday night at the starting banquet, as they gathered in T-shirts and bunny boots and furs and dresses, they were in high spirits, looking ahead to the weekend, the trail and the adventure of the Last Great Race. Only 851 people on the planet have done what they're about to do. These are the human faces of the 2014 Iditarod.

NYTW Extends BELLEVILLE Through 4/14
New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) Artistic Director James C. Nicola and Managing Director William Russo have announced that the NYTW production of the New York premiere of Belleville, written by Amy Herzog and directed by Anne Kauffman, will extend for two weeks through Sunday, April 14, following rave reviews and sold-out houses. Belleville (originally scheduled to close March 31) plays at NYTW, 79 East 4 Street, between Bowery and Second Avenue.
Belleville opened March 3.
The play arrives in New York with the creative team behind it intact: the director, Anne Kauffman, whose subtly paced, incisive work gently stokes the play's atmosphere of unease; and the two superb actors in the central roles, Maria Dizzia and Greg Keller, whose performances have become more finely honed, emotionally revealing and, ultimately, devastating.
Abby and Zack-young, American and married - have shirked the stability of a comfortable post-graduate life in the States for Belleville, a bustling, bohemian, multicultural neighborhood in Paris. In an attempt to build a life together away from their family and friends, their passive-aggressive and aggressively passionate relationship is put to the test after an awkward afternoon discovery, a landlord's ultimatum and a cracked toenail.
Belleville, the newest drama from award-winning playwright Amy Herzog (The Great God Pan, 4000 Miles, After the Revolution) and director Anne Kauffman (Detroit, This Wide Night), looks at the limits of trust, truth, deception, and dependency in a world where both love and loss can be pathological and cathartic.
The cast of Belleville is Pascale Armand, Phillip James Brannon, Maria Dizzia, and Greg Keller.
Belleville was commissioned by Yale Repertory Theatre and received its world premiere in October 2011. The NYTW production is supported by Yale's Binger Center for New Theatre.
New York Theatre Workshop, now celebrating its 30th season, is a leading voice in the world of Off-Broadway and within the theatre community in New York and around the world.
NYTW has emerged as a premiere incubator of important new theatre, honoring its mission to explore perspectives on our collective history and respond to the events and institutions that shape our lives. In addition, NYTW is known for its innovative adaptations of classic repertory. Each season, from its home in New York's East Village neighborhood, NYTW presents three to five new productions, over 80 readings, and numerous workshop productions, for over 45,000 audience members. Over the past 28 years, NYTW has developed and produced over 100 new, fully staged works, including Jonathan Larson's Rent, Tony Kushner's Slavs! and Homebody/Kabul, Doug Wright's Quills, Claudia Shear's Blown Sideways Through Life and Dirty Blonde, Paul Rudnick's The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told and Valhalla, Caryl Churchill's Mad Forest, Far Away, and A Number, Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen's Aftermath, and Rick Elice's Peter and the Starcatcher. The 2002 remounting of Martha Clarke's seminal work, Vienna: Lusthaus and subsequent American tour was one of the longest-running productions in NYTW's history. NYTW's acclaimed productions of Once and Peter and the Starcatcher are currently enjoying Broadway runs, and Rent, which premiered at NYTW, is currently playing an off-Broadway revival. NYTW supports artists in all stages of their careers by maintaining a series of workshop programs including work-in-progress readings, summer residencies, and minority artist fellowships. In 1991, NYTW received an OBIE Award for Sustained Achievement and in 2000 was designated to be part of the Leading National Theatres Program by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The NYTW 2012-2013 season is dedicated to the memory of Joan Stein.
Belleville plays at New York Theatre Workshop, 79 East 4th Street, between second Avenue and Bowery. The regular performance schedule is Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:00pm; Thursday and Friday at 8:00pm; Saturday at 3pm and 8pm; Sunday at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets start at $70 and may be purchased online at www.ticketcentral.com, 24 hours a day, seven days a week or by phoning Ticket Central at (212) 279-4200.

Looking at his business card, Carlo Espinas dubs himself "grub slinger." But everyday, he successfully navigates one of the most difficult culinary jobs—making great food with all the techniques of a restaurant at an establishment best known for its cocktails.
"It can be difficult at times because I understand that a lot of people come here (Comstock Saloon) just for drinks," Espinas says. "I'll overhear customers at times ask for something like fish and chips or other so-called pub grub, but I think we have developed into more than just a great place for cocktails. Our food can sit on an equal platform with our drinks."
The menu Espinas has created is wide-ranging, serving those who are looking for a nice meal and those looking for a late-night snack to soak up some of the alcohol they have consumed.
"I think while it might not showcase the same techniques as a fine dining restaurant, we make do by creating a very customer-friendly menu with plenty of different options and tons of locally sourced, fresh ingredients that we're able to highlight through each passing season," Espinas says.
The menu, which Espinas changes periodically, might include simple items like pretzels and mashed potato fritters or more involved items rabbit three-ways, roasted chicken or gnocchi.
Here are the recipes for two of Espina's standoutsm, one a mainstay on the menu and another an off the menu special.
Mashed Potato Fritters
1 lb. potatoes – washed, peeled and quartered
½ c. water
4 tbsp. butter
½ c. flour
2 eggs – cracked into a bowl
Salt and pepper
Serves 2 – 4
Boil the potatoes in heavily salted water. Cook as you would mashed potatoes. When done, pull them from the pot and let them rest on an un-crowded pan or plate to let steam off. If you have an oven already on, put them in there for 5 minutes to dry out. When dried out, mash the potatoes as you normally would. My preference is to use a mill so the potatoes are evenly broken up without overworking them. Ricers are great too.
While the potatoes are cooking, combine the ½ c. water, butter, and a small pinch of salt and pepper into a sauce pot and bring to a boil. Have a whisk and wooden spoon handy. When it comes to a boil, turn down the heat and slowly add the flour with one hand and use the whisk with your other to break up the clumps. When the mix begins to thicken, switch to the wooden spoon and continue to stir the batter over the low heat. Stir until the batter becomes pulls off the sides of the pan and becomes 1 homogenous lump. Turn off the heat. Add 1 egg to the pot and stir vigorously to incorporate. When fully combined, add the second egg and stir until incorporated. This batter is also known as pate choux. Learning this technique opens a world of delicious sweet and savory recipes in your future.
When the potatoes and batter are both done, combine thoroughly. This can be done ahead of time, even the night before.
When you're ready to fry: warm up a pot of oil or a home fryer to 350 degrees. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop; carefully drop small portions of the potato mix into the fryer. Fry until golden. When done, pull them out and let drain on a paper towel. Lightly salt.
These guys are delicious and you'll want to just grab them, but be careful because they are really hot. Since this is for a home, I scaled down this recipe, but it can easily be doubled, tripled, etc. for a larger group. Also, it's pretty easy to customize this recipe by adding herbs, grated cheese, or truffle oil to the mix before frying.
Shepherd's Pie (Off the menu)
In the English tradition, a cook uses leftover beef or lamb from last night's roast to make this hearty casserole. In its most basic form, you sauté some fresh vegetables, then add in meat taken off the bone and then add any jus or gravy to thicken up the filling and make it a little saucy. Put this filling into an oven safe casserole dish, top it off with mashed potatoes, dot with butter and bake until the topping gets a nice roasted brown hue.
It's a perfect way to use Thanksgiving leftovers because there is no set recipe. Your shepherd's pie is based on what's available in the fridge the morning after turkey day. Personally I like to go with very traditional flavors on Thanksgiving, and then go a little cross-cultural with the leftovers. So here is an Asian-inspired take on Shepherd's pie.
For a 12 x 8" casserole dish
½ c. diced carrots
½ c. diced celery
½ c. diced onion
½ c. diced green onions
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 c. shitake mushrooms, sliced in half
1 c. shelled edamame
½ c dry white wine
1 lb. (at least) leftover turkey meat – off the bone and either pulled or chopped into fork-able pieces.
1 qt. gravy
⅛ c. Soy sauce
1 tbsp. Sesame oil
6 c. Mashed potatoes, – or to take the theme a little further, you can use mashed Japanese sweet potatoes or a combination of both for the topping.
Crumbled nori or toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Salt, pepper for seasoning. Olive oil for cooking. Optional dots of butter to assist in browning the top.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Lightly sauté all the vegetables together in a medium sized pot. You want to sweat the vegetables, meaning to gently cook them, but have them retain a slight bite. When done, add the wine to deglaze and cook until the alcohol smell wears off. Fold in the turkey meat. Add the gravy, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Taste the mixture for proper seasoning.
Spoon the filling into the casserole dish. Top it off with mashed potato (or sweet potato) and use a spatula to even it out on top. If you like to increase the amount of crispiness, drag a fork across the topping to create more grooves. The topping will get crispier with more diverse textures. Dot with butter if you like.
Bake for 30 minutes. If you have a convection oven, turn on the fan. If the top is not as brown as you like at the end of the 30 minutes, use the broiler option to get a good crust. Be careful not to burn it though.
Once you get it to a desired look, let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving. This may be the hardest part because you'll really want to eat it, but it will be piping burn-the-top-of-your-mouth hot. Trust me, I have tested this theory.
Comstock Saloon is definitely not just a cocktail hangout anymore, it's got plenty of food chops as well. The restaurant is located at 155 Columbus Avenue in San Francisco.

Monticello Middle School volunteer Pamela Arechigo was the type of school volunteer who staff say positively impacted every teacher at the school in her eight years of service.
She dug into one project after another and quickly became an indispensable member of the school's community, much as her great-uncle, Dr. Frank Ellison, was an indispensable member of Monticello's school system and community for many years during the 20th Century.
Besides being one of the community's first medical doctors in town, Dr. Ellison served on Monticello's school board for 30 years, helped to organize the town's American Legion Post and served as its first commander, among other things.
"I know how Dr. Frank loved the Monticello community and gave so much of his time to create a better living environment for the community," Arechigo said. "When we chose Monticello as our 'home,' I knew I had to continue on the family legacy. It became very important for me to carry on the Ellison tradition and give of my time and talents."
Arechigo moved to Becker with her two daughters in 2006. At the time, she decided to open enroll them into the Monticello school district, despite the 17-mile commute each way to the schools.
"It was the right choice to do," Arechigo said, despite the distance. Arechigo, who was named the Monticello School District's Friend of Education three years ago, dug her hands into a myriad of different projects to help the high school and especially the middle school, which she said expressed the most need for help when she initially inquired about volunteering.
"I have four pages of volunteer activities that she has been doing, and I have to figure out how we're going to get this all done," said middle school principal Jeff Scherber. "One person leaving the community will leave quite a void."
One of Arechigo's biggest projects was the implementation and running of the Middle School Collection Fund, which has raised over $12,000 for the school since 2007. The funds have been used for field trips, guest speakers and purchase of supplies and media center updates.
Arechigo started this fund by signing the school up for General Mills' Box Tops for Education program, but kept expanding it every time she heard of a new way to raise funds for the school such as ink cartridge collection, milk caps and other programs.
However, the collection program was only one of the ways she helped out. Arechigo collected all types of different odds and ends jobs to keep the school running smoothly, from keeping the teacher work rooms, mail rooms and copy rooms stocked and organized, maintaining and organizing the school's lost and found, laminating, walking the halls to hang up or take down posters and flyers and starting or working on booster program for the sports her daughters played, among other things.
Another volunteer project that snowballed for Arechigo was painting Monticello's logo all around the school district. It began when she noticed that the middle school's gymnastics room was pretty dull-looking and offered to pain the logo on the wall, and once word spread she found herself with several more painting projects to bring some school spirit to other spaces in the district as well.
"She took advantage of every opportunity to work in the schools and volunteer," Scherber said. "Looking back at all the different things she has done, she has done a great job behind the scenes helping all the teachers and students."
Now, with both of her girls graduated from MHS, Arechigo is moving on as well. Her fiancé has taken a job in the Milwaukee area and the couple will move Aug. 1.
On the last day of school, Scherber said he broke the news to the middle school staff that Arechigo would be moving out of state, and he said you could hear the collective sigh in the room, knowing they were losing a great volunteer and great person.
True to her nature, Arechigo is already planning how she will make an impact on her new community, saying she hopes to try her hand at hospital volunteerism this time around, as both of her parents worked at a hospital when she was growing up.
"It's going to be hard," Arechigo said of her upcoming move. "I've established a good footwork in the Monticello community and lots of friends. But I'll always volunteer."
"I know that in everything I have done, I have made Dr. Frank proud," she added. "I'm so pleased that I was able to spend the past eight years in an area that has such rich family history."
Scherber added: "She's not just a great volunteer, but a great person as well. She's really got a big heart and that's illustrated by all the things that she has done."
