Albuquerque Energy Committee
The AEC meets at 8:00 a.m. on the third Wednesday of each month. Meeting locations vary; please check the city calendar for the locations of particular meetings.
In 2003, the Albuquerque City Council provided vision and leadership aimed at influencing the manner in which the City of Albuquerque manages and consumes energy in its facilities. The City Council adopted an unprecedented ordinance (FSO-02-70) that reserves capital funds targeted for energy conservation projects.
As a direct result of the ordinance, the powers and duties of the Albuquerque Energy Council (AEC), under the direction of the Facility and Energy Management Division Manager, were expanded to establish criteria to select projects for funding. By providing a mechanism for community leadership in reduction of energy consumed, it is the City's intent to serve the public welfare. Therefore, a community-wide effort to conserve energy will be developed and implemented.
The AEC's Mission Statement is "Champions of Albuquerque's quality of life, promoting cost effective, innovative resource management, energy education and community involvement."
Through formal requests for applicants, the City interviewed and selected nine members with varying areas of technical expertise to serve on the AEC. Membership on the committee is voluntary with staggered terms. Although the AEC operates under the direction of the City's Facility & Energy Management Division, guidance from the U. S. Department of Energy, Rebuild America, Rebuild New Mexico, and the State of New Mexico's Energy Conservation and Management Division is considered for planning. Many technical and trade associations are also used as resources.

Dell Accelerates Customers' BYOD Initiatives with New Portfolio of Mobility Solutions
|Join the conversation.
#BYOD #mobility
- New mobility solutions streamline enterprise mobility management
- Endpoint security enhancements can improve IT efficiency and productivity
- Expedite application upgrades and cloud adoption with new migration solutions
- Partner program enhancements reinforce software commitment
Dell today unveiled new solutions that help organizations better plan, deploy and manage mobile and BYOD environments to help drive greater business value from their IT investments. The latest offerings also reinforce Dell's role in delivering innovative, end-to-end solutions that simplify complex data environments, accelerate cloud transformations, reduce mobility obstacles and mitigate security risks.
At Dell's "The Power to Do More—Accelerating Results" event held in San Francisco today, company executives, industry leaders, global customers and channel partners shared insights and perspectives on Dell's end-to-end strategy for meeting customers' requirements. Additionally, interactive, customer-led discussions showcased Dell's integrated technologies and scalable design point, which are proving instrumental in addressing emerging business demands and technology megatrends, including consumerization of IT, cloud computing, data insights, security and business intelligence.
According to Gartner[i], "new technologies, implemented in innovative ways, hold great promise, but they also threaten traditional management models and formal policies. [Companies should] support this new reality by breaking down unproductive silos and freeing employees—through new technologies and processes—to collaborate and communicate more productively with one another."
"Dell is uniquely positioned to deliver highly differentiated, complete solutions—from clients to cloud and everything in between—that remove the barriers created by legacy technologies while empowering customers and partners to unlock new business opportunities," said John Swainson, president, Dell Software. "Software is the catalyst to modernizing today's IT environments, enabling organizations to do more and achieve greater business results."
In addition to Dell's new mobility solutions and enhancements to its PartnerDirect channel program, Dell Software announced Toad Business Intelligence Suite 2.0. With this latest release, Toad Business Intelligence Suite delivers a host of enhancements designed to further facilitate self-service business intelligence across complex data environments. In related news, Dell Services announced Flexible WorkStyle Consulting to help customers embrace increasingly mobile work environments. Dell Services also announced the Dell ProSupport Enterprise Suite to assist customers in achieving the highest levels of performance and productivity for critical systems.
Bolstering BYOD Enablement Strategies with Dell Mobility Solutions
As a leading end-to-end provider of secure mobile solutions, Dell Software's new family of mobility solutions is designed to address a wide range of customers' BYOD enablement strategies by making it easy to extend and manage mobile access, increase the security of data being accessed remotely, broaden network access to better support BYOD, and improve the user experiences when accessing business applications from a variety of mobile devices. The four mobility solutions are designed to help customers better understand how a combination of devices, network access, enterprise workspace and professional services from Dell can be used to support all stages of BYOD evolution.
Dell Mobility Solutions accommodate Corporate-Owned, Choose-Your-Own and Bring-Your-Own Device (BYOD) management strategies while providing flexibility to interoperate with existing infrastructure and business applications. Additionally, these solutions can be configured to work together as part of a complete turnkey offering, incorporating a full range of Dell devices, including endpoint management, remote network access, monitoring, virtualization, data protection, security and identity management.
Together, Dell Mobility Solutions help meet the following customer needs:
- Enable mobile access and applications—For IT directors who are managing PCs using traditional, on-premise system management tools, this solution enables secure access to enterprise applications and data from employees' personally owned devices with minimal impact.
- Transformation to cloud—Mobile user experiences are enhanced by securely incorporating cloud computing and cloud-based services into mobile applications.
- Secure network access extensions —Secure network access from any location, whether on campus or remote, makes this solution ideally suited for organizations with existing BYOD programs for smartphones and tablets that want to optimize their network infrastructure and provide application access without impacting existing infrastructure and compromising security.
- Modernize applications—This solution enables new and existing business applications to be extended to a wide variety of end-user devices while offering an improved user experience that can maintain or improve performance and availability.
Extending Endpoint Security to Drive IT Efficiency and Productivity
Dell Software also has unveiled new endpoint security enhancements to simplify the protection of corporate data regardless of OS or device. Dell KACE Management Appliances and Dell Quest User Workspace solutions, along with Dell Wyse Cloud Client Manager, offer a full range of endpoint security capabilities including remote imaging, configuration management and mobile device management. In addition, endpoint encryption and data protection safeguard enterprise data on the device in order to fully secure mobile applications and related business data.
New enhancements include:
- KACE K1000 Management Appliance–Designed to improve patch management with support for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, expanded patch coverage and improved patch availability timelines.
- KACE 3000 Mobile Management Appliance—Now generally available, the KACE 3000 appliance extends established systems management to smartphones and tablets.
- Dell Wyse Cloud Client Manager—This latest release offers enhanced enterprise connectors and integration to Active Directory for automated user management and single sign-on capability. Dell Wyse Cloud Client Manager also includes enhanced mobile application management and integration to Dell Wyse Pocket cloud for managed remote access to corporate apps and data.
- Dell Data Protection | Encryption (DDP|E)–A new cloud edition further expands Dell's ability to secure data at the corporate edge—from endpoint to mobile and now cloud—enabling high levels of PC security.
- Dell Networking W-Series ClearPass—The latest version of Dell's ClearPass, a highly integrated access management solution for managing BYOD, connects to existing networks to manage policies, securely onboard devices, admit guest users, display device usage and perform health assessments. ClearPass allows customers to run one network for both guests and employees while maintaining appropriate security and service levels without requiring manual IT intervention.
Seamlessly Adopt New On-Premise, Cloud and Hybrid Deployment Models
Dell Software also continues to set the standard for assisting organizations in mitigating the risk of migrating, consolidating or restructuring Microsoft environments to address application modernization requirements.
The new release of Migration Manager for Exchange offers full coexistence in a seamless, one-step migration from Microsoft Exchange 2000–2003 to Microsoft Exchange 2013. With this latest release, customers can streamline migrations with the following capabilities:
- Facilitate any on-premise to on-premise, on-premise to cloud or on-premise to hybrid migration.
- Migrate public folders from Microsoft Exchange 2000–2010 to Microsoft Exchange 2013.
- Migrate Microsoft Exchange 2000–2010 mailboxes to Microsoft Office 365 Wave 15 without locking out users from their mailboxes.
Furthermore, the new release of Migration Manager for Active Directory facilitates efficient migration and restructuring of Active Directory, supporting all of Microsoft's latest platforms and technologies, including Microsoft Office 365 Wave 15. It provides full coexistence during a migration, with access to "new" and "old" resources at the same time, resulting in minimal disruption to users.
New Software-Related Competencies in PartnerDirect Program
Underscoring its commitment to Dell's software transformation and a single program to support the full spectrum of its offerings, Dell also announced an enhancement to the structure of its PartnerDirect partner program to include software and enable the sale of end-to-end solutions through one simple channel program. Dell Software resellers now will have specific requirements within PartnerDirect to become certified partners, including unique revenue thresholds to achieve Premier and Preferred Partner status.
These requirements will parallel existing requirements for hardware-focused Preferred and Premier Partners, and create opportunities for partners to sell just software or hardware, or a combination of both. Partners focusing on a single line of business also will have a new path to achieve Premier status through advanced competency achievement, and service provider partners will have access to a new strategic program designed for their distinct business model.
Over the next several months, channel partners from Dell's acquired software companies will transition to the PartnerDirect program. Four new software-related competencies with multiple learning paths for Security, Systems Management, Data Protection and Information Management will be launched in the fall.

School vouchers are back in the news, just in time for the arrival of 2014.
The topic returned to the headlines earlier this month when an opposition group, including state education leaders, filed a lawsuit in Wake County Superior Court challenging the so-called Opportunity Scholarships scheduled to go into effect next year.
The vouchers, unless blocked by judicial ruling, will provide $4,200 in state education money for low-income students to attend private schools.
While much has been said by those on both sides of the issue, we see positives that can come from a voucher system while understanding the opposition of those in public education.
School choice can lead to competition and competition can lead to schools that best serve all students.
School competition isn�t a new concept for Alamance County. Charter schools have been around for a few years now. Parents and students often like what charter schools have to offer. Many are great successes.
Vouchers can create this same draw for public schools as well as private ones.
Schools with particular programs that fit the interests and needs of students could become highly sought by students and their parents.
If a private school offered the best arts program, for example, a student with a talent in the arts might use the voucher to attend that school.
In the same way, a public school with strong focus on science would draw students with interest and abilities in that discipline.
Such choice is already available to North Carolina students attending colleges and universities. They can apply, and if they meet the entrance requirements, attend a state-supported school. Or, if they prefer a private school, they receive state money to reduce the cost.
The new voucher program in North Carolina sets a per-student amount that, like student grants to attend private colleges and universities, is unlikely to cover full tuition. That means parents must pay more toward the cost of their child�s education or, as often happens, the school will provide scholarship assistance. Parents must also apply for the scholarships. The pool of funding from the state budget will pay for 2,400 a year statewide.
We agree with critics who say more funding should be directed to public schools, but we also believe that the current system can mutually co-exist and even flourish with a voucher system. The freedom for parents to choose when it comes to education for their children seems important to us.
The chance may slip by, though. The North Carolina Constitution is pretty clear in outlining what education funding might be used for and the destination is with public schools. It�s hard to believe the Opportunity Scholarships will hold up to a legal challenge.
That will no doubt send state lawmakers back to the drawing board.

By plane
Chubu International Airport (NGO) is the nearest airport to Gifu. The Meitetsu line will take you to Meitetsu Gifu Station in downtown Gifu.
By train
Gifu is a station on the Tokaido main line between Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo. There are frequent services to Nagoya, the nearest major Shinkansen station, only 18 minutes away by express train.
Meitetsu Takehana Line connects Shin Hashima station (3 minutes walk from Gifu Hashima Shinkansen station) to Meitetsu Gifu in around 32 minutes.
The JR Takayama Line connects Gifu to Hida-Takayama via Gero Onsen.

You almost didn't need a weatherman on Friday morning to tell it was going to snow. The morning was cold and unusually dark, the clouds were low and heavy, the curtain was about to rise on a wintry play.
Traffic was light, schools were called off and some businesses were closed. The governor asked nonessential state employees to stay home. Is it better to be essential or nonessential? Will your obituary read, "He retired after 28 years as a nonessential employee"? Watching the list of cancellations told us that a lot of stuff goes on here. That's good.
The major question was whether the power would go out, and for how long. At least it is February and the leaves are off the trees. Nevertheless, people crowded supermarkets and gas stations before the storm, stocking up on food, batteries and other essentials. We are reminded of a conversation overheard before a storm a few years ago. The woman said, "We need to buy milk." The man said, "We don't drink milk."
This is high season for television meteorologists, whose manic enthusiasm for the unfolding drama in the sky is oddly compelling. The Doppler dons have gotten less alarmist than in years past, when they would try to out-Armageddon each other —"You could die if you go outside!"
We recall a time in the early 1990s when downtown Hartford streets and restaurants were empty 24 hours before a storm was due to hit, which caused Mayor Mike Peters to call a couple of news directors and ask them to dial it back. This year, people were out on Thursday night, perhaps anticipating being home on Friday. The main question we had was whether Joe Furey's voice would hold out — our favorite weatherman was beginning to sound like Bill Clinton.
It's winter, it's New England, it snows. We will hunker down and get through it.

Paul E. Sax, M.D., is director of the HIV Program and Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
On the heels of last month's report of HIV transmission from an organ donor -- covered here in Journal Watch -- comes this remarkable article in The New York Times about lifting the ban on organ donation from donors known to be HIV positive.
Naturally, the first group of patients slated to receive these HIV positive organs would have HIV themselves.
But the article goes further:
But some experts, including Dr. Segev and Dr. Kuehnert, say they can foresee such transplants even for H.I.V.-negative patients because contracting H.I.V. would be preferable to kidney or liver failure.
"I don't want to minimize living with H.I.V, but it is a medically treatable disease now," said Charlie Alexander, president of the United Network for Organ Sharing, which manages the country's organ transplant system. "In certain cases, I think it would be medically appropriate."
If ever there were proof that HIV is now a highly-treatable condition, I'd say this could be Exhibit One.
Paul Sax is Clinical Director of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital. His blog HIV and ID Observations is part of Journal Watch, where he is Editor-in-Chief of Journal Watch AIDS Clinical Care.

Martinez hopes memorable 2013 just the start
JUPITER, Fla. -- As Carlos Martinez introduced himself first to St. Louis, then to the nation, in 2013, there were glimpses that suggested the potential of something special.
There were also seminal moments.
JUPITER, Fla. -- As Carlos Martinez introduced himself first to St. Louis, then to the nation, in 2013, there were glimpses that suggested the potential of something special.
There were also seminal moments.
Like the one in Cincinnati on Sept.4, when Martinez inherited a tie game in the 15th inning and helped pitch the Cardinals to a crucial NL Central win with two scoreless innings. There was a show of poise and athleticism, the latter most evident on a stellar defensive play.
It was, Martinez says now, the game that made him feel he belonged.
"When they gave me the ball, they said they trusted me to go ahead and pitch," Martinez said through an interpreter. "It was after that game that I said I felt good, and I was able to build on that. They trusted me, and I delivered."
Manager Mike Matheny points to the night in Milwaukee, two weeks later, when he called upon Martinez after the Cardinals had taken a one-run lead in the top of the 10th. Hours before his 22nd birthday, Martinez fell behind the leadoff batter, 2-0. A visit from catcher Yadier Molina followed, and 10 pitches later, Martinez was pocketing the ball from his first career save.
His signature moment may vary by perspective, but not the effect. For Martinez, 2013 was the season in which he truly came of age.
"We had a lot of confidence in him right from the beginning," Matheny said. "The stuff was there. It was just a matter of how he executed. That took a little time. Throwing him into big situations -- sometimes by force and sometimes by choice -- helps you see what the guy is actually made of when he gets out there."
The foundation built by Martinez last season -- which also included 12 postseason appearances -- is one he hopes to fortify with his first full season with the Cardinals. And if he has his way, he'll do it in the rotation.
Martinez's pursuit of an Opening Day rotation spot turned tangible on Friday, when he became the first Cardinals pitcher to take the mound in a Grapefruit League game. A misplaced slider to Garrett Jones resulted in a two-run homer, but Martinez recovered to retire the next seven batters he faced.
His outs were quick. He avoided nibbling around the strike zone. And he showed promise with his curveball and changeup, both pitches Martinez said he would like to utilize more often this season. Adding those offspeed offerings to the four-seam fastball, sinker and slider, which he now throws from the same release point of his fastball, gives Martinez an enviable repertoire.
"You're looking at a kid, with four pitches and a pretty good changeup that is a work in progress," Matheny said. "He's still learning that he can use that in different counts to different hitters and it won't hurt him as much. I think he has made great strides so far."
There is much to absorb as Martinez reflects back on the past 12 months. At this time a year ago, he was missing out on an opportunity to participate in his first big league camp; visa issues grounded him in the Dominican Republic until late March. That briefly delayed the start of his season, but not Martinez's ascension.
Five weeks into the season, he was summoned as part of the Cardinals' desperate efforts to fix a porous 'pen. It would be one of three different stints Martinez had with the Cardinals, who then included him on each of their three postseason rosters.
He made only one start with St. Louis, but Martinez said the relief work heightened his awareness to "keep focused on the game." Of his 21 appearances, 15 were scoreless. Molina, who Martinez appears to trust implicitly, had much to do with positioning Martinez for that sort of immediate success.
"Yadi has been extremely helpful," Martinez said. "It was very important to have him and Mike always talking to me and telling me that they trusted me. He put a lot of emphasis on not thinking too much about the last play."
Martinez built off the 120 2/3 innings he pitched in 2013 with another 23 2/3 in the Dominican Winter League during the offseason. He capped that six-start stint with seven scoreless innings on Jan. 15. The work not only allowed Martinez the chance to get back into the routine of starting, but it positioned him to be ahead of most pitchers upon reporting to Spring Training.
That's made an impression.
"It's pretty universal that every time he walks off the mound and they walk out of the cage, it's a, 'Wow. That stuff looked good from the field, but I didn't really realize up close what it looked like,'" Matheny said, describing the reaction of his own hitters, who faced Martinez in live batting practice. "I think they all appreciate not just the stuff, but how he grew last year as a player with the experience that he got. It was a great learning experience for him."
Martinez's season-opening assignment will not entirely hinge on his spring. He has six starters with more Major League experience -- Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, Joe Kelly, Shelby Miller, Michael Wacha and Tyler Lyons -- to battle in pursuit of five spots. The Cardinals have also seen how valuable Martinez can be in the 'pen.
Whether his starting opportunity is brief (a la Trevor Rosenthal in 2013) or extends deep into March, Martinez merely wants further assurance that he belongs.
"As long as they give me an opportunity to be part of the club, I would be happy," Martinez said. "Also, I know that being on the team in the bullpen, if something were to happen with one of their pitchers, I can go and fill that role."

Older workers are snaring an outsized share of job gains in the economic recovery as they put off retirement amid shrinking nest eggs, changes in Social Security benefits and improved health.
They're not necessarily limiting the pool of jobs for younger workers, says Dean Maki, chief U.S. economist for Barclays Capital. More-experienced employees are often more productive and earn higher salaries, generating economic growth that itself yields additional jobs, he says.
In February, employment for workers 55 and older rose by 277,000 from January, or 65% of the total 428,000 gains, according to the Labor Department's household survey, which is used to calculate the unemployment rate.
The more widely reported 227,000 total job additions in February is based on Labor's survey of employers, which doesn't include farm workers and the self-employed and often undercounts start-up firms. The government's March jobs report is due Friday.
Since the start of the recession in December 2007, employment for those 55 and older is up by 3.9 million, even as total payrolls have fallen by 4.2 million.
It's not that the recession has been easy on graying workers. Many older Americans laid off in the downturn won't work again, says Sara Rix, senior adviser for the AARP Public Policy Institute. In Februrary, they were unemployed an average 54.1 weeks, vs. 39.1 weeks for all workers, Labor figures show.
Rather, their ranks are swelling as Baby Boomers age, and they're working later in life, Rix says. The portion employed or looking for work jumped to 40.4% in February from 40.1% in January. It's up from 38.3 percent in February 2007.
"What you are seeing is more people pushing back" retirement, Rix says.
Among the reasons is a shift from traditional pensions to less-secure 401(k) plans that were hammered in the recession, says Steven Sass of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. About a third of 5,000 50-plus Americans surveyed by AARP last year said they planned to delay retirement.
Also, the age at which Americans can get full Social Security benefits is gradually rising, and life expectancy for 65-year-old men is up by 3.5 years since 1980. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy's long-term shift from manufacturing means jobs are less physically demanding, Sass says.
Financial adviser Peter White, 87, of Williamstown, Mass., retired in 1987 but returned to work in the late 1990s to keep busy and help support two of his children, who are in their 20s. "You can't sit around looking at the wall all day."

Columbia Asia Referral Hospital, Yeshwanthpur, Successfully Conducts HOLEP to Treat a 72-Year-old With Urology Disorder
Feb 18, 2013, 00:17 ET
BANGALORE, February 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Columbia Asia Referral Hospital, Yeshwanthpur (CARHY) successfully conducted a Urology surgery through an advanced laser technology - HOLEP. The team of doctors led by Dr Manohar, Consultant Urologist at CARHY removed a large prostate gland weighing 350 gms, hitherto unheard of in medical history.
"HOLEP by 100 Watt Holmuim Laser technique that was used to treat the 72-year-old is an advanced laser technology and is the latest treatment for all urological problems. The advantages of the HOLEP 100 watt laser technique are multiple. The usage of this technique lessens hospital stay for a patient, less blood loss and most importantly leaves no scar on the patient's body. This technique provides less complications compared to the traditional way," says Dr Manohar.
The 72-year-old man Sanaj Nambiar (name changed) from Calicut was in immense pain due to enlarged prostate for over a decade. He was going through severe difficulties including pain while urinating, difficulty in walking and imbalance. While the normal size of the prostate gland is 15-20 gms, Nambiar was detected with 350 gm, which is unheard of in medical history.
The heavy prostrate made it difficult for Nambiar to carry out basic and normal activities of life. In addition, his kidneys were swollen due to obstruction by the grossly enlarged prostate. The family visited many hospitals and doctors in Kerala before deciding to get him treated at Bangalore. The abnormal size of the prostrate made many hospitals even in Bangalore apprehensive about conducting the critical surgery as the regular surgical process would cause bleeding and chances of its incomplete removal.
Finally, a family member recommended CARHY, which is known for its advanced technologies and expertise in the field of Urology.
His enlarged gland was removed in less than 2 hours of time without any blood loss. Nambiar was discharged from the hospital the next day. Today, he is leading a normal and active life without any complications.
About HOLEP
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate is a laser technology to treat any kind of prostate enlargement, be it small to large. Normally, prostate enlargement is treated by conventional TURP, which has much more recurrence and bleeding during operation and excess bleeding when dealing with patients who are on blood thinning agents. HOLEP as a technology is very versatile in treating large prostate especially the ones that weigh more than 70 gms, wherein other technologies are met with complications.
Very few hospitals have such advanced technologies and the expertise to treat urological disorders. CARHY in Bangalore is one among the few leading centers in India and abroad. Dr. Manohar, CARHY is the only surgeon in the whole of South India to have the skills and the necessary expertise to conduct surgeries through this latest technology. He has got experience to treat kidney stones, various cancers and prostate diseases through the latest LASER technologies.

I owned a fully loaded 94 Teal before but it was automatic. The car was exactly what I wanted except for the trans, so I sold it. Just my luck, I was looking at SC's on ebay after doing some reading due to another SC that has also captured my attention. As I browsed, I stumbled upon (and then bought) a 94 5speed in teal in VERY good condition just a couple weeks ago. It was a re-listed car that I had inquired about several years back...so I think I got lucky....as if it were meant to be . I have another post for my 93 where I kinda document my recent repairs. It has helped me out keep track of what I've done to the car though the years, so I decided to do something similar with this 94 Teal.
The car is high mileage but very clean inside/out/engine and was kept very well documented. The previous owner only had it briefly and before that the car was owned by one of our own: Gary Blitzer. Needless to say, the car looks fantastic (thanks Gary!) and the service history I received is very thorough and some of the stuff dates back to when the car was quite new. Tons of OEM stuff, which is how I like it and how I'm currently keeping my other SC's. I drove the car for about 5 hours from right outside of Pittsburgh, over the mountains into the DC metro area, zero issues. A very comfortable ride too with the fully functioning ARC! Out of all the cars that I've owned and sat on...I always say SC seats are one of the most comfortable ones evar!
Car has JBL system with CD changer in the trunk (missing subwoofer), Keyless/remote entry, aluminum spare, sunroof and full leather interior with no rips on the rear leather seat! Another cool option i hadn't personally seen in an SC is the presence of a block heater! I discovered the plug the other day while browsing around the battery area since my battery hold down is missing (ordering an OEM Replacement next week ). The car even has a pretty new Motorcraft battery .
Picking up the car in PA/WV border.
and in the office a day or two later after I got tags for it
Of course, it's not without its issues...but all are small and it's stuff easy enough where I actually feel pleased to source the pieces and do the repairs.
A few missing interior pieces like center console cubby mat, magnet for cup holders, passinger light lens at the bottom of the door also
Plug for C pillar bolt
I'm pretty sure this door sensor is supposed to have a rubber covering...they're missing on both sides...anyone know the PN?
A few trim pieces could use some love
DIN console showing a bit of bubbling
Clock seems to be pushed in
Shifter boot in the console has the leather part separated. I have another one in good shape but I think I can repair this one. Shifter also is in dire need of rebuild. I've purchased the Dorman repair kit and I'll do that while I source a ripper shifter.
Some trim pieces just need to be replaced
Like the power seat switch panels which have the usual breaks
And this AC vent which was replaced in the past using a 96+ unit. THe 96+ has an unpainted "squigly" line
The correct one for 94-95 should be this one
Couple other things I've already done is remove those...um...unique...chromed tailpipe extensions, I've replace the foglight switch which had a burned up bulb and it was bothering me not seeing it at night , I replaced the head unit which didn't have a working tape deck and I use it to plug it into my phone and hear music. Also, the pusher fan was completely missing but was just replaced today with a unit I had laying in the parts bin. Now I just have to source the electrical connector and splice it to the harness...for some odd reason the connector was cut off from the harness.
Other things needed are the antenna keeps "clicking" when the radio comes on/is turned off. I've got at least two other new antennas around the house so that will be changed. The OEM CD changer is INOP and is giving me a "CD ERROR" message...anyone know anything about this, i would greatly appreciate the input. I don't really listen to CD's that often, but it would be nice to simply know that the CD changer is working as it should. Also the trunk I think needs to be re-aligned. It closes right but you can feel that a little bit of extra force is necessary when compared to my other sc's. That is also probably the reason why I'm getting the constant Door Ajar light in the info center.
Oh, and I know the car has a steering leak that comes and goes. The previous owner topped it off when leaving and I didn't notice any leaking during the entire ride. I even had a handy helper keep an eye on things during the voyage
Other smaller things that need attention are oil pressure gauge fluctuates and throws a light (probably bad sensor or lose connection)
Sunroof air deflector needs to be fixed so it raises when sunroof is open
slow sunroof when it nears the fully closed position
Driver power seat motor inop
One blown bulb in IHKA knob
A few upgrades lined up are:
ADR Kasais that I've had for at least 6 yrs are finally getting installed
Ripper shfiter
Passinger manual seat swtiched for full power seat (finally I'll put some of my grey seats to use after they've sat for years in my basement)
Reflecting "Thunderbird SC" decals in rear bumper
Installing OEM ford Daylight Running Light module
Installing OEM mat set
Installing OEM cargo net
Installing OEM Auto head lamps (just swapping headlight switch)
Installing OEM Auto dimming rearview mirror (have mirror, just want OEM harness to be plug n play without butchering cables)
And toying with the idea of installing the FRPP steering wheel with Mark VIII illuminated buttons and OEM Bullit pedals
Removing MP fresh air intake/separator and install OEM airbox
Down the line I'll probably do the head gaskets before they blow, do ARP studs and BHJ balancer. I'll probably lower it, maybe exhaust but that's about it.

Captain's Report
New for 2003 is a revised version of the popular GTI by Sea-Doo. The GTI LE RFI is a mouthful to say, but she has a lot of important features that should be recognized. First off is the Limited Edition package, or LE, which supplies a bunch of creature comforts like improved horsepower, safety and sound reduction technologies. Then comes the RFI badge that stands for Rotax Fuel Injection. Sea Doo's veteran, the time tested 782 cc twin two-stroke motor has now come 'clean' with electronic fuel injection.Delivered in a classy Sonoran Sand paint scheme, the GTI LE RFI is targeted toward those enthusiasts seeking an upscale and affordable watercraft. With her clean technology, she'll be able to run in states like California, without breaking emission laws. The seating capacity is rated at three people, but at a little over 10 feet long, this boat is shorter than the typical three-seater watercraft. At the controls, you'll find See-Doo's Direct Drive transmission, which allows you forward, neutral and reverse modes that will help at the dock, launch ramp or the beach. In fact, I was impressed with how well this boat backed down at speed, even though it is not intended for that. Other standard equipment includes an information center built into the dash, that provides 16 different functions. Things like engine data, timers, and temperatures for both ambient air and lake water. The dash also contains an analog speedometer, along with a digital tachometer and fuel gauge. Under the dash is the front cowling that flips up to expose a jumbo storage tub. There is plenty of room here to bring along all the goodies you'll need for your day on the water. If you need more space, there is a spot under the rear seat for smaller items. What I like best about the LE package is Sea Doo's styling. The boats lines are modern, functional and classy, without looking radical or dated. Even minor items like the rearview mirrors and the rear-boarding handle look cool.Getting into the technical side of this watercraft, we find an advanced running surface with a semi-V design. Years of development work have resulted in a hull that is very stable at low and high speeds in addition to being extremely maneuverable and forgiving. Reversed steps at the bow, in conjunction with a reversed chine at the top, help to give the operator and passengers a dry ride. At the stern, a retracting step and quality traction matting, facilitate boarding the watercraft. Also at the stern, but below the waterline, is Sea-Doo's O.P.A.S. This ' Off-Power Assisted Steering' system uses retractable rudders that spring down into place should the operator find themselves in a panic situation. Because jet powered watercraft need to be powered to maneuver, it has always been a challenge to avoid collisions when the engine stops turning. Our rigorous testing showed that this system works well, but keep in mind that these little rudders only veer the craft in a direction, therefore, the faster the craft is moving the greater the effect the rudders will have to steer the boat. Underneath her pretty skin, lies a reliable Rotax twin cylinder two-stroke engine that has been the engine of choice for many years, powering numerous different models of Sea-Doo watercraft. They have combined this power plant with fuel injection to supply better fuel economy, lower emissions, and hassle free starting. Finishing off the application, Sea-Doo has installed their R.A.V.E. sound reduction system on the engine's exhaust in order to help tone down the noise and keep your neighbors happy.With very respectable performance, luxury features and an affordable price tag, the GTI LE RFI might just be the most admired boat on the water this year.By Capt. Ron SvobodaTest Captain
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sea-Doo GTI LE RFI is 50.3 mph (81 kph), burning gallons per hour (gph) or N/A liters per hour (lph).
- Time to plane for the Sea-Doo GTI LE RFI is ~ seconds.
- Time from 0 to 30 of the Sea-Doo GTI LE RFI is 3.1 sec. seconds.

Maybe ya'll can confirm/deny my suspicions...
DS2 is 9 months old. At his well-check, his (very pro breastfeeding) pediatrician recommended vitamin D supplement because "breastmilk is low on vitamin D". I mentioned that take a vitamin D supplement, and the pediatrician said that didn't matter; that vitamin D is not soluble and doesn't transfer well to breastmilk. I knew that was the case with iron, but I'm pretty sure that's not what I'd read about vitamin D.
So... is vitamin D soluble or not? I do know that the amount in breastmilk has much greater bio-availability than supplements. We also live in central TX, and take walks outdoors every day, so I'm not entirely sold on the need to supplement in any case.
What do you ladies think? (Yes, I realize this ya'll cannot offer a medical opinion, I'm just curious what ya'll think.)

So I put in the CD, and that was it, my car CD became a black hole. OOoommmph.

Okay, I'll admit it. I just flat-out dig the 1991 GMC Syclone. It is not remotely practical, an odd statement for a pickup truck. But the GMC Syclone's brazen dedication to performance is exactly what is so endearing, and it challenges you to forget any preconceived notion you have of trucks. It lacks ground clearance, you can barely put anything in the bed, and you certainly can't tow anything.
But what the GMC Syclone lacks in practicality it makes up for in badassness. All wheel drive and a turbo can make just about anything cool. But what is so special about the Syclone is that it existed in an era when not every manufacturer had such capabilities. Matter of fact, it was outrunning many sports cars thanks to a Garrett air-to-water intercooler, Mitsubishi turbocharger, and a Tuned Port Injection 4.3L V-6. While the old 90-degree V-6 was no engineering marvel, you add Tuned Port Injection and a healthy turbo system and it becomes an animal with 280hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. But the all wheel drive system is what put it over the edge. The Syclone would hook up anywhere. Literally anywhere, which is what made it such a beast on the street.
Case in point – "Syclone Annihilates a Z06 Corvette":
Better yet, a GMC Syclone will hook up on pretty much any track, too. And with some work (larger turbo, suspension, converter, etc) you can go low 10s and even high 9s on a consistent basis without ditching the factory block.
And if you are a baller, you can do some really cool stuff. Like set records.
*Click here for a full feature on this Swedish street terror.
Handling? Sure, they were designed to do that, too. The GMC Syclone received unique leaf springs and a number of suspension upgrades from the factory. But of course you can take it even further than that to build a radical, death-defying hill-climber and top-speed racer known as Syborg.
And for all wheel drive haters, yes they can do burnouts, too.
But what the GMC Syclone does even better than that is the coolest donuts you'll ever see. (Pardon the language towards the end.)
And on occasion they even make really great cameo appearances on sit-coms.
Last but not least I'd like to leave you with the original commercial. Truly, the 1991 GMC Syclone truck was ahead of its time.

All News Releases By Date
EPA acts to ensure safe drinking water for Wyoming residents
Release Date: 09/05/2006
Contact Information: Michael Risner 303-312-6890, firstname.lastname@example.com Diane Sipe 303 312-6391, firstname.lastname@example.com
Summary of actions so far this year
DENVER, Colo., Sept. 5, 2006 -- During the first six months of 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 issued one emergency administrative order, two penalty complaints and 12 administrative orders in the State of Wyoming.
EPA issues an emergency order when there is a potential for imminent and substantial endangerment to public health, such as when contaminants have been identified in a public water system or when the public water system has experienced a disruption in the system that may endanger public health.
On March 30, EPA Region 8 issued an Emergency Administrative Order against Camp Creek Inn, Jackson, Wyo.
The order was based on a potential imminent and substantial endangerment to human health resulting from five samples collected on March 28, 2006 and four samples collected on March 29, 2006 that tested positive for E. coli bacteria. E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes.
Microbes in these wastes can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms, with young children, the elderly, and people whose health is weakened, such as people who have long-term illnesses such as cancer or AIDS, and are at greater risk of severe illness.
EPA ordered Camp Creek Inn to conduct the following actions to ensure that the people served by the water supply were provided with safe drinking water: (1) provide an alternative source of potable water; (2) submit a detailed plan to EPA for bringing the public water system into compliance; (3) conduct increased monitoring for total coliform; and (4) provide public notice, including an advisory for the water users to boil the water at least three minutes.
EPA approved Camp Creek Inn's plan, and Camp Creek Inn fixed the problem by making improvements to the well and installing ultra violet light disinfection. Recent total coliform bacteria monitoring showed the system to be free of E. coli contamination. EPA continues to monitor the public water system for compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
EPA issues an administrative order when a public water system violates the SDWA and its regulations. An administrative order requires the public water system to comply with the drinking water regulations that it violated and includes action items for returning to compliance. EPA issued administrative orders to the following public water systems:
Bighorn National Forest – Shell Falls Interpretive Site, Sheridan County, WY
Bighorn National Forest – Tie Hack Campground, Johnson County, WY
Brooks Lake Lodge, Fremont County, WY
Cheyenne Shrine Club, Cheyenne, WY
City of Buffalo, Buffalo, WY
Elk Refuge Inn, Jackson, WY
Grand Teton Park Resort, Moran, WY
Meadowlark Lake Lodge, Big Horn County, WY
Mountain Village Park, Sublette County, WY
Town of Pine Bluffs, Pine Bluffs, WY
White Pine Ski Area, Sublette County, WY
EPA issues a complaint for penalty when a public water system violates an administrative order. EPA may settle a complaint for penalty for a monetary payment, the amount of which is based on the seriousness of the violations and the size of the population at risk, among other factors. EPA settled two complaints for penalty with the following public water systems with the penalty amount noted:
Blackwater Lodge, Inc., Park County, WY
Penalty Amount: $1,800.00
City of Torrington, Goshen County, WY
Penalty Amount: $4,500.00
SDWA establishes specific regulations to assure the safety of public drinking water. In the State of Wyoming, EPA directly implements the SDWA and issues enforcement actions to public water systems that fail to comply with the SDWA and its regulations.
EPA oversees the protection of public health and the environment in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. Compliance and enforcement are important components of public health and environmental protection which encourage governments, businesses and other regulated entities to meet their environmental and public health obligations.

WQ307, New July 1993
Many dairy producers fall into one of two categories:
Producers in the first category usually use slurry systems with tanks for waste storage, and tank wagons with injectors to transport and apply the waste. Producers in the second category use lagoons for storage/treatment, and irrigation equipment to transport and apply the waste to their fields.
To have value, wastes must be used in a manner that results in a salable product. This publication describes methods of recovering a portion of the plant nutrient value of dairy wastes.
To keep the addition of nutrients from waste and fertilizer in balance with the nutrient removal by crops requires a record-keeping system, preferably with laboratory tests of the nutrient content of the wastes being applied. The quantities of wastes added and crops removed should be measured or, at least estimated as accurately as possible. Reliable nutrient data requires that the waste be kept well mixed during the loading, sampling, transport and land application processes.
Typical nutrient production values for various weights of dairy cattle are listed in Table 1 for fresh manure.
Table 1
Daily/annual production of the major nutrients in pounds for various weights of dairy cattle (as contained in freshly excreted manure; reference ASAE Data D384.1)
Losses in nutrient value are inherent in any system of manure management, both during the collection and storage phase and the land application phase, especially nitrogen losses due to volatilization and denitrification. In the collection and storage phase, nitrogen can be lost to the air as ammonia and from manure stored in open lots by leaching and runoff. About 20 to 40 percent of the phosphorous and 30 to 50 percent of the potassium can be lost by leaching and runoff from open lots. Thus, to minimize nutrient losses as well as to reduce pollution problems from rainfall runoff, all operations (feeding, cow loafing, manure storage, etc.) should be kept under roofs — not open lots.
Table 2 lists the average nutrients available in dairy waste handled and stored in the usual methods.
Table 2
Average nutrient levels in dairy waste.1
Frequently, total nitrogen (N) in dairy lagoon effluent is composed of approximately two-thirds ammonium nitrogen and one-third organic nitrogen. The ammonium nitrogen is equivalent to nitrogen fertilizer and, except for losses to the air, is available to plants in the year of application. Organic nitrogen must be mineralized before it is available to plants. Table 3 shows the percent of organic nitrogen mineralized (released to crops) during the first few years after application. Nearly all of the phosphorous and potassium are available the year of application.
Table 3
Manure organic nitrogen available by year
Most volatilization (ammonia) losses occur within the first 24 hours after land application, if the waste is not incorporated. The rate of loss increases with increasing temperature. Table 4 shows the decrease in plant-available ammonia-N as incorporation is delayed.
Table 4
Manure ammonia-nitrogen loss by days until incorporated into the soil
Nitrogen applied in excess of crop needs can leach through the soil after conversion to the nitrate form and cause groundwater contamination. The potential for nutrient removal and surface water pollution by runoff is high when manure is applied to frozen soil. Once incorporated into the soil, phosphorous and potassium are bound to soil particles such that the principal mode of loss is by soil erosion.
Solid and liquid manure should be plowed down or otherwise incorporated into the soil as soon as possible after land application to minimize odors and volatilization of nitrogen. Lagoon effluent applied by irrigation to soil dry enough to "take water" is assumed to be immediately incorporated.
A comparison of typical nitrogen losses for solid, liquid (slurry), and lagoon systems during handling and storage are given in Table 5. Losses are highly variable due to seasonal, temperature, moisture, climatic and other factors.
Table 5
Typical nutrient losses during handling and storage
In the future, it is likely that only the smaller dairy operations will be handling dairy manure as a solid. To handle dairy manure as a solid, one practice is to add about 4 pounds of dry straw per cow per day to reduce the moisture content of fresh manure and allow it to be handled as a solid. When this manure is applied to the land, all available nitrogen may be "tied up" by soil microorganisms during the process of decaying the straw. If the decaying process takes place during crop production time, a nitrogen allowance should be made for the decay process, in addition to the nitrogen required for crop production. A second and common practice employed to allow manure to be handled as a solid is to store semi-solid manure and allow the liquids to drain off to a holding pond. The liquid is frequently drained through a "picket fence" dam.
Liquid systems (also called slurry systems) offer greater utilization of nutrients, if maximizing nutrient utilization is the goal. Therefore, liquid systems require the maximum soil-plant filter acreage for disposal. Storage losses with a manure slurry are lower than with solids or lagoons, especially if stored in above-ground tanks (Table 5). Knifing liquid into the soil minimizes application losses (Table 4). The addition of nitrification inhibitors to the manure can slow the conversion of ammonium nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen by certain soil bacteria, thus reducing nitrogen losses by leaching and denitrification. This is the system of choice for operators wishing to obtain the greatest utilization of the plant nutrients in their dairy waste. Table 6 lists typical nutrient availability per year for lagoon and liquid systems for three herd sizes.
Table 6
Typical nutrient availability per year for lagoon and liquid systems for three herd sizes (from MU publication MP666)
This is the system of choice for producers wanting to minimize one or more of the following:
Manure management systems employing lagoons for long-term storage are the least efficient in respect to nutrient utilization (Table 5). Losses of up to 90 percent of the nitrogen during storage is typical. Up to 80 percent of the phosphate may remain in the lagoon bottom sludge if the lagoon is not agitated when pumped. Land application from lagoons via pipes, pumps and sprinkler irrigation is quite efficient in time, cost and nutrient utilization, since mechanical incorporation is not required to prevent excessive volatilization losses (Table 4). Table 6 shows the estimated nutrient availability per year for lagoon and liquid systems for three herd sizes.

Support the California Bill outlawing sale of shark fins introduced
Posted 30 June 2011 - 10:26 PM
However, what he seems to be missing is the size of the shark fin trade as opposed to the "whole shark" (if I may call it that) trade. The demand for shark fin is unsustainable and is very likely to wipe out sharks in the world's oceans. If we prioritize the exploitation of sharks in terms of the threat to them, number one is the finning industry, and number two is actually sharks caught as by-catch by long line fishermen. There is no viable demand for whole shark as a food stuff.
The attempt to ban the sale of shark fin is a global conservation issue, not a cultural one. Without a demand for shark fin, sharks would not be in the precarious position that they are now in.
I quote:
"Commercial fisheries targeting sharks exist throughout the world. Sharks are sought primarily for their fins (for shark fin soup) and their meat but also for their cartilage,liver and skin.
73 million sharks are killed every year, according to a 2000 analysis of the Hong Kong shark fin trade. Many scientists estimate that at least 100 million sharks are killed annually, including sharks caught for other products, such as meat.
Shark populations have declined by as much as 70 to 80 percent, according to global reports. Some populations, such as the porbeagle shark in the northwestern Atlantic and spiny dogfish in the northeastern Atlantic, have been reduced by up to 90 percent.
Thirty percent of all shark and ray species are now Threatened or Near Threatened with extinction, and accurate scientific assessments cannot be done on an additional 47percent of the species because of a lack of data.
The highest numbers of reported shark landings are from: Indonesia; India; Taiwan, Province of China; Spain; and Mexico.
The catching of sharks in fisheries that target other species (bycatch)is frequently reported in open-sea longline fisheries targeting tuna and swordfish and can represent as much as 25 percent of the total catch. This bycatch is considered to be a major source of mortality for many shark species worldwide.
Blue sharks make up a particularly large proportion of shark bycatch in open-sea fisheries (47 to92 percent).
The value of shark fins has increased with economic growth in Asia (particularly China), and this increased value is a major factor in the commercial exploitation of sharks worldwide. One bowl of shark fin soup can cost US$100.
Sharks play an important role in maintaining the structure and function of the ecosystem. They regulate the variety and abundance of the species below them in the food chain. Impacts from the loss of sharks can be felt throughout the entire marine environment.
Live sharks have a significant value for marine ecotourism (such as recreational diving, snorkelling, and shark watching) that is more sustainable and often far more valuable than their worth to fisheries. Whale shark tourism, for example, is estimated to be worth $47.5 million annually worldwide, and shark tourism activities in the Bahamas generate $78 million annually for the Bahamian economy.
To reverse declines in shark populations, shark sanctuaries should be established, and strong, science-based management should be put in place by all fishing countries and international bodies that regulate shark fishing and trade"
I do not feel that anyone here has stated that Chinese people should be "demonized as uncivilized, cruel and anti-conservation". However, the cold hard fact is that unless we attempt to control the shark fin industry, we will wipe out an apex predator that will have dreadful consequences for the state of the world's oceans.
All the best

Can't give me a good reason, right!
To demonize a minority group will not solve the issues, my way or highway approach will create more resistance!
Only work hard in the right way will solve the issues!
The reason is we don't need shark fin soup to live/survive. Nobody will die if they don't eat shark fin. If they like shark fin so much, why not try the mock fin? I had, in a vegetarian restaurant & the soup tasted very good & the texture of the mock fin was the same as the real one. Note that I gave up eating shark fin & shark after becoming a diver & realise the damage the Soup is doing to the population of sharks & in turn our marine ecosystem.
My culture used to treat women as "2nd class" humans, women are kept indoors & had their feet bonded. Super glad that we evolved!

Waynegor, you are quite right, that we should not demonize a minority group. The fact is, the whole world is involved in the trade in shark fin. We are all aware of the shark fishing that goes on around Ecuador, Costa Rica etc, but we do tend to stick our head in the sand when it comes to our own failings. The EU fishing fleet have boats stationed permanently in the Indian Ocean (including UK flagged vessels, managed by DEFRA) that target blue shark and mako shark, both listed as threatened in some way on the IUCN Red List, I believe there are shark finning depots in Queensland (although I'm preparing myself for a flaming for daring to mention it). The only reason they are out there is the high return they can expect from the shark fin. Remove that element, you can be sure that those boats would shift their attention elsewhere, the meat itself is relatively low value, and realistically sharks aren't exactly an easy catch to manage!
Can't give me a good reason, right!

So we cannot simply point a finger at the chinese and asian markets. We are all part of this mess, from the supply route all the way through to consumption.
This is why the Californian bill is so important, it leads the way in the world, to take responsbility for your own back yard, first and foremost. Hopefully it will set the example for others to follow, perhaps we will then see better quota management from fisheries around the world, god forbid we may even see all IUCN red listed marine species reflected in the CITES appendices, and afforded the same protection as endangered land species currently get.
Any step toward that nervada is hugely positive. Trying to use the pretence of cultural or racial discrimination to stop these conservation efforts is totally misplaced, it is not just a chinese/asian problem, it also has huge implications to the lives and profitability of fisherfolk throughout the world.

MOTION: Do pass, but re-refer to the Committee on Appropriations.
The opposition (some restaurants, mostly) have come together and hired high-priced lobbyists. They (the restaurant owners) know they don't enjoy the majority opinion (on the shark fin issue) here in California, so they're trying to buy their way out of being eco-responsible.
PLEASE: Contact the state senators serving on the Appropriations committee listed below (whether or not it's your Senator) and tell them how you feel about this bill... BEFORE AUG 14TH. This is California's big eco issue for the year and we can't let some rich lobbyists deter us now!

Awareness campaigns in China... http://www.china.org...938731663059104
Attitude towards sharks can change and not everyone is stubborn...
imho, sfs are featured more prominantly in the menu of the southern coastal cities. Migrants fr there brought this "habit" w them to SE Asia n other countries... I have many colleagues who are Chinese fr different parts of PRC, they are able to accept my sharings about sharks & the need to stop having sfs, in fact, 2 of them changed the sfs out at their wedding (small) banquets at my request & the others promised not to order. I have more problems getting the Singaporean Chinese descendants of the coastal migrants to change their minds, that include my closer relatives... Note: I am also a descendant of coastal migrants fr China, my grandparents were from China. ;-)
