Vice Chair Kendrick called the meeting to order and asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was offered by Trustee Douglas, seconded by Trustee Halverson, and approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman said that most of the information in the statements had been provided to the committee in quarterly reports. The statements were included with the State of Florida financial statements. She said the report was for the trustees' information only, no action was required. There were no questions or comments.
Vice President Shuman said the state did an audit of all federal grants received including financial aid awards. UNF was only a small portion of that report. The state's full report would be released in March or April and would include all universities and state agencies. Three comments had come out of the UNF audit. The first comment had to do with a small dollar amount of $3000; when students withdrew from classes, depending on how late in the term they withdrew, monies had to be repaid. There was a university instrument for faculty to input when students withdrew but faculty needed to be encouraged to document the information. Regarding the second comment, Ms. Shuman said all monies, about $200,000, had been recorded, just not in the appropriate places. The errors were due to a changeover in staff in the Controller's Office and were being corrected. The third comment was about a match from Sponsored Research; the University determined that the match was not required, therefore Sponsored Research had acted appropriately.
Vice Chair Kendrick said it seemed the University had immaterial comments this year. She asked how the comments compared to the previous year. Ms. Shuman said the comments were typical of what the University usually received. Dr. Serwatka noted that all universities received comments regarding notification of student withdrawal from classes. Trustee Solano asked what would happen to the input system once the University switched to the Banner system. Vice President Shuman assured her that the same system or a similar one would be put in place. Ms. Kendrick verified that Dr. Khan had reviewed the comments.
Dr. Khan acknowledged Vice President Kendrick, thanking her for providing the charter for her organization. He also thanked Vice President Shuman, Karen Stone, Linda Anderson, and Richard Crosby for their input on the draft. He noted that several universities had changed the name of the Auditor General's office and position to be more customer friendly. Ms. Stone pointed out that the previous titles were statutorily required but that had changed under devolution. Trustee Douglas said the change was consistent with current business practices. Dr. Khan said the charter established the independence of the Office of Internal Auditing while the second document delineated the FAC's responsibilities in regard to that office.
Trustee Douglas asked about the new charter and responsibilities in relation to the Sarbanes-Oxley act. Dr. Khan said that though the University was not required to do so by law, it had the obligation and responsibility to institute those parts of the act that could strengthen control and oversight and had done so. Trustee Douglas observed that the chair of the FAC should have a financial background, as indeed, should most if not all of the committee members. He said it was important to be consistent with the overall regulatory atmosphere as it related to the FAC. President Delaney said he had read a great paper on Sarbanes-Oxley and joked that it should be renamed the accountant's relief act. He noted that one of the actions suggested by the act was to separate the audit committee from the finance committee. He said that such an action did not seem to make sense for the University as the board was so small that the same group of people would then just have to serve on both committees. Also, the University's documents were public record thus financial reporting was not an issue. Trustee Douglas said he would encourage the committee and University administration to consider whether committee members and/or the committee chair should be required to have a financial background to serve on the committee. Trustee Halverson agreed, particularly regarding the needed qualifications for the committee chair. President Delaney suggested that he and Vice President Shuman go through the outline and come back with suggestions.
Vice Chair Kendrick said she had thought trustees had planned to go over the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a workshop. Trustee Halverson said he would like to recognize the good work done over the last year to improve internal controls. He said the University and the Board were much better off than they had been in the previous year and he credited Vice President Shuman substantially for the improvement. He offered two suggestions. Stating that he believed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act contained more good than bad, with the only problems being a tendency to over report and over-administrate, he encouraged the University to model after the act, using any controls that would fit a public university within the statutory requirements already in existence. Secondly, he felt there should be more discussion regarding the committee's responsibilities as outlined by the Office of Internal Auditing; he did not believe the document quite captured what the committee's responsibilities ought to be. Dr. Khan said he appreciated any comments trustees would like to suggest as he thought it would make for a stronger document. Vice Chair Kendrick said she would recommend including an internal risk assessment. She said it was not clear to her what oversight the office was under and asked if it used OSO. When Dr. Khan replied in the affirmative, she said the foundation the charter was based on should be made clear. President Delaney asked if trustees would send any other comments to him, Vice President Shuman or Dr. Serwatka.
Vice Chair Kendrick thanked everyone for the great discussion and asked Vice President Gonzalez to discuss the item on child care fees.
Dr. Gonzalez stated that each year, after analyzing the CDRC's fees, recommended changes were brought before the Auxiliary Oversight Committee and submitted for student review as well. Six adjustments were recommended in an effort to balance the budget for the following year. He noted a proposed increase of $15/day and $7/half-day for students, remarking that the students appeared to be okay with the increase. The classifications for UNF faculty and staff were combined with the general public for one shared fee structure, resulting in either no change or a decrease from previous fees for faculty and staff, with the exception of a $10 increase to the registration fee, and a decrease to most of the fees for the general public. The reason for the reductions for the general public was to bring the fees for the center more in line with comparable facilities in the area. Dr. Gonzalez said the center had priced itself somewhat out of the market and had lost customers as a result.
Vice Chair Kendrick asked for questions or comments. She added that her daughter had attended the center and that it was state-of-the-art. Trustee Halverson moved in favor of the changes. The motion was seconded by Trustee Douglas and passed unanimously.
Stating that the item was returning to the committee after a request for further clarification from the board, Ms. Shuman said that the responsibilities and limits for each position had been more clearly outlined.
She said that Dr. Khan had reviewed the check writing system and found no problems. Additionally, one employee, Margie Warden, was transferring to another department and her name was being removed from signature authority. Trustees had no comments or questions on the item.
Vice President Shuman said the quarterly report was the first one completed with the new Banner system. As of February 28, the different budgetary units of the University should have spent 66 percent of their budgets. All of them, with the exception of Academic Affairs, had spent below that percentage. As Academic Affairs would be in full force through April then slow down for summer, which was much less expensive, this was to be expected. Ms. Shuman said she was still working on projections; the current report only showed where the University was now. Trustee Halverson verified that footnotes would be provided to explain variances in future reports. Ms. Shuman said they would. Ms. Kendrick observed that the ability to produce a financial report so soon after deploying the new system boded well.
As of January 31, the report showed the cash flow summary for the University, including major auxiliary units. She asked the trustees to let her know if they would like to see more detail on the funds. Trustee Halverson asked if the cash balance was usually in the $80 million range and Mr. Neglia replied that it was. Vice Chair Kendrick asked if there were questions or comments. Trustee Watterson said the $400,000 amount for Student Government looked low to him and asked if he could talk with someone about it after the meeting. Ms. Shuman told him to come by her office.
Beginning in April with a presentation to the board by R S & H, the current draft of the revised master plan had been discussed in eight focus groups, several planning charettes, and been presented to city planning, Mr. Crosby said. Overall, there had been positive response to the plan.
In discussing the plan, Mr. Crosby began at the campus core. He indicated the proposed new Housing office and facilities for student medical services in Osprey Hall and Osprey Landing, stating that Housing was currently located in a portable and Student Health was in building 14. He said expansion was planned for two buildings: building 6 and the Matthews Computer Science Building. Construction on the first wing of the new L-shaped Social Science Building (to complement the Science and Engineering Building across from it) is to begin this summer.
Mr. Crosby talked about parking on campus, stating that some parking had already been lost and more parking disruptions were inevitable due to upcoming construction on the new Student Union and the new College of Education Building. He said the University was looking at parking on the perimeter of campus to replace the parking lost at the campus core. He said construction on another garage was planned to begin in 2007, though the location was still being discussed. In response to a question from Trustee Halverson about available parking spaces during campus construction, Vice President Shuman said a flat lot of 800 spaces might be used during the interim. President Delaney noted that the parking issue might accelerate the need for a shuttle. Mr. Crosby added that mechanisms that might support a shuttle were already underway, including expanded service from JTA between the University, the new Town Center Mall, and the rest of the area, as well as discussions with the mall itself. He also said it was possible to assess a transportation fee if needed.
Regarding the Student Union, Mr. Crosby said the University was in the process of finalizing selection of a firm to design the complex, expected to cost between $30 and $40 million. The new building would be located nearer the Athletics complex. The old Student Union would be used for academic purposes. An alumni house was planned for adjacent to the Student Union, along with a green for events.
Indicating the map, Mr. Crosby said building 11 would be demolished with the completion of the first wing of the Social Science building. He said attractive signage would be placed at all entrances. Along parking lot 100 near the police department, locations for a pavilion, welcome center, sanctuary, and parking operations office were being considered in conjunction with the existing nationally recognized nature trails.
Mr. Crosby said the University intended to concentrate utilities, storage, etc. on the western ridge of the campus by Central Parkway where they would not be as visible or unsightly. On the north end of campus, the University was involved with heavy discussion with various environmental groups regarding a proposed road. President Delaney said the road was the only potentially controversial component of the plan.
Even so, he said he believed the bulk of the environmental community had signed on to the idea and he thought the road would be designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Mr. Crosby confirmed that the road would be earth friendly in an attempt to protect the plant life and hydrology of the area and said that the University was talking about designating the northwest quadrant and the wetlands to the south as living learning laboratories.
Expansions to the Arena and the fitness center had been proposed. Planners had also suggested relocating the tennis complex to the northern property, freeing up the space for other types of athletic recreation facilities or other expansion.
Returning to the western ridge of the campus, Mr. Crosby said significant development was planned for the site over the next five to ten years including Greek housing, completion of the road coming out to Central Parkway, future recreational expansion for Athletics, relocation of physical plant facilities, campus storage, and high bay facilities near the Central Parkway industrial park, the possible addition of another 800 parking spaces, a skate park paid for by Student Government, and possibly the next and/or subsequent parking garages. There were a few areas designated for undefined future development. The University was also considering expanding the bike path system and constructing roundabouts to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic.
Mr. Crosby talked about future housing on the eastern ridge of campus, stating that all of the buildings were going higher to maximize the limited space on campus. The next housing facilities were planned as six-story buildings with suite style rooms. He said the University had selected an architectural firm to develop the criteria for a design-build RFP for the building. Twenty foot wide, environmentally friendly boardwalks would connect the housing to the campus core. President Delaney said the goal was to have about 19 percent of UNF's students living on campus in order to be consistent with the national average. Currently, about 16 percent of the student population resides on campus.
Mr. Crosby said purchase of lands in the First Coast Technology Park was the second item on the PECO request. Indicating the map, he said it was clear how dense the campus was going to become in the not-too-distant future, thus the University would need more land for future expansion. In the interim, the land could easily be used for short-term parking. Another issue being discussed was six-laning Kernan Blvd. with overpasss at Beach and Atlantic. Members of university administration were meeting with city officials in an attempt to have Kernan rerouted around the technology park, leaving the original Kernan as a campus access road. President Delaney said the city seemed amenable to the idea so far. He added that the University was in litigation in an attempt to stop the sale of one piece of the technology park, which could cost a bit in order to resolve the issue in UNF's favor. The dispute had to do with the amount of property the University intended to sell; the amount was off by 50 percent. Mr. Crosby said that Councilman Art Graham was pushing hard to have a bike path tied with the proposed changes to Kernan, which, he said, would tie nicely with the University's plans for the campus.
Mr. Crosby said today's presentation was the first informal presentation and would be followed by a presentation to the BOT in June with the University seeking full board approval. He said the plan would go to agency review in April and that UNF hoped to be first in submitting a plan to Tallahassee this year in the hopes of garnering more funds. Vice Chair Kendrick thanked him for his presentation.
Trustee Halverson asked for a listing of the next major projects already funded for the coming five years. President Delaney replied that they were the Student Union, the Social Science building, the wing for the College of Health, and possibly the money for building the coaches' offices under the stadium.
A discussion regarding campus housing ensued. President Delaney said the University could virtually mandate freshmen to live on campus. Trustee Watterson said many people would prefer to live on campus but because of the limited housing available, many upper classmen could not. Vice President Gonzalez added that there was a list of upper classmen who wanted to move on campus. Vice President Shuman said the University was trying to determine the type of housing that would be best. She said her office was looking at the pro forma and thought one had been found that would work. She noted that the suite layout was expensive as was the infrastructure, which would have to be included in the first phase of the housing construction. Her office was trying to make sure the new housing facilities would stand on their own, at least after the first couple of years. The idea of having the upper classmen live in the new facilities and the freshmen living in the campus core had also been discussed. Trustee Halverson said he applauded the University's goal to increase the percentage of students living on campus, stating that UNF would be a better university faster because of it.
Mr. Crosby introduced Mr. Zak Ovadia, who came to Facilities Planning from Dartmouth, the University of Washington, and the Washington State Governor's Office.
With a return to the discussion on university signage, President Delaney said Ms. Shuman's office was looking for something thematically. Vice President Shuman said they were considering a street competition for faculty members and artists in the community to see what they got back.
Vice Chair Kendrick thanked President Delaney and his staff. She said she attended the students' awards function and had been very impressed with their scholarship.

Latino Hate Crime Death Deserves Justice
On July 14, 2008, Ramirez lost his life after he was knocked unconscious and severely beaten by a group of Shenandoah teenagers who yelled racial epithets throughout the fatal beating. Charging documents and eyewitness accounts indicate that Ramirez was punched and kicked in the body and head causing him to foam at the mouth, to sustain two skull fractures, and ultimately, to die. Ramirez leaves behind his fiancée and their two young children.
While local officials initially failed to bring charges against the perpetrators and denied that race played a role in the attack, MALDEF intervened to pressure the local prosecutor to charge the defendants with a hate crime. Soon thereafter, the county district attorney filed murder and ethnic intimidation charges against the assailants.
A retired Philadelphia police officer testified at a preliminary hearing that she heard one of the attackers yell "Tell your [expletive] Mexican friends to get the [expletive] out of Shenandoah or you'll be [expletive] laying next to him." The attacker's comments were directed at Ramirez's friends who came to his aid after receiving a distress call from him on a cell phone during the beating.
On Friday, May 1, 2009, a jury in Schuylkill County found two of the defendants accused of beating the 25-year-old, father of two, guilty of simple assault. Despite the mounting evidence of a hate-driven and violent attack, the jury acquitted the defendants of third-degree murder and ethnic intimidation. The jury's conclusion is an outrage. Most shocking is the recent news article describing the Jury Foreman's view that some of the jurors were racist and racism tainted the jury's deliberations, which indicates that the trial was biased. Luis Ramirez was brutally murdered and, even in death, Ramirez remains a victim of extreme racism which denies his family the justice they deserve.
The death of Luis Ramirez has repercussions beyond his family and community. The FBI Hate Crimes Statistics Report documents that hate crimes against Latinos have increased by 40% over the past several years. We must work aggressively to prevent hate crimes, and when they occur, prosecute and punish the perpetrators to the full extent of the law.
MALDEF will continue to work with the Ramirez family and the U.S. Department of Justice to ensure that the actions of the defendants and the death of Luis Ramirez is fully investigated as a hate crime. Sign the petition asking the DOJ to bring federal hate crimes charges against and prosecute those individuals responsible for the brutal murder of Luis Ramirez.

Rocky might be sugar coating what is going on with the Mets these days. Do you remember the beginning of the month when the Mets were off to a semi-good start and the Yankees – beset by injuries – stumbled out of the gate and the talk was could they actually finish with a better record?
Not happening. We are looking at a fifth straight losing season, and please, don't delude yourselves into thinking the Mets will suddenly go on a spending spree this winter. Now that the Mets have substantially reduced their payroll and after this year will be finally rid of the contractual anchors of Johan Santana and Jason Bay, do you honestly believe they'll be writing a lot of checks this winter?
Next year could be more of the same.
After being swept over the weekend by Philadelphia, going 3-6 on their recent homestand and losers of nine of their last 12 games overall, all appearances have the Mets are packing it in before the All-Star break this season. I'm not saying the effort isn't there, just the talent.
The weekend proved the Mets don't need Arctic conditions to play their worst. Without Matt Harvey to protect them against the Phillies, the Mets had breakdowns with their rotation, bullpen, defense and hitting this weekend. It was as complete a sweep as can be.
* The Mets are 5-0 when Harvey starts and 5-13 when he doesn't. He goes tonight at Miami against fellow phenom Jose Fernandez.
* The last two winters GM Sandy Alderson made rebuilding the bullpen the priority. However, this year's nightmarish edition is the major league's worst with an ERA nearing 5.50. It doesn't even matter how close Frank Francisco is to returning as he proved he's not the answer, either. Typical Mets. Their best reliever is closer Bobby Parnell and they can't even get to him.
* Terry Collins said at the beginning of the season he wanted to use set line-ups. Twenty-three games later he has used 20 different batting orders/line-ups. That's not even close to being stable.
* The outfield remains fluid, with something different each day. Jordany Valdespin provides a spark and then sits. Does anybody really think Juan Lagares is the answer? Collin Cowgill won the starting center field job coming out of spring training, but was sitting by the fourth game of the season and only has 47 at-bats.
* Ike Davis continues to flounder and look overmatched at the plate with half as many hits (13) as strikeouts (26). He's on pace to strike out 183 times. He's also on track to hit 28 homers, but drive in only 56 runs. Need I say he's hitting less than .200?
With the way the Mets are playing, there's no guarantee they'll get better with three games in Miami. About the only encouraging thing you can come up with concerning this series is even if the Mets are swept, they can't fall into the cellar behind the Marlins.
Ah, good times.

hi there, recently started playing the game again. at level 32 now in the labyrinth. figured i would ask for some ideas on strategies you might have, and share some i have come up with
stats - mine got capped quite a few levels ago and now i have 4 stat points i can't even spend cause i'm capped. maybe this will get lifted at some point but still nothing. i stopped getting new points when i level up awhile back too
spells - obviously quite a few spells are useless playing solo, like party effects or resuscitate. so i'm capped out in the useful ones. i think all you really need is heal, control, and death darts. resist and shield may be sort of useful, but you have to spend a turn getting your butt kicked before it takes effect, and they don't really do much at the higher levels anyway i'm finding.
leveling - i'm doing it the honest way without vitaminf. at lower levels (15-25ish) i just grinded in d2 of the basement where there's always an orc fight. they die in 1 death darts. i was getting ~130k in 10 minutes. at my current levels i grind in the fight at k4 in the wizard room inside the labyrinth. fairly easy battle that gives like 10k-18k xp. i get ~280k per 10 minutes there.
gold - has been useless for a long time. mana restore potions are the only useful thing in the store anymore since i can cast death darts and control on my own now. would rather use up inventory slots with mana restore. i have 7.7m gold and not sure when i cross 10m if it will reset to 0.
i'm sort of stuck at this point. playing solo, all the deeper places i've gone have too many enemies which each hit for >1k a turn and all can paralyze, petrify, confuse, etc. it sucks. i'm hoping if i just over-level it will eventually be beatable
how do you handle big fights with 4-6 groups of enemies? what is your first move? control? death darts? something defensive? i'm finding my control doesn't work that well on the tougher enemies now either, but maybe it's a function of my own level and could work better as i level up. don't know.
do you find any of the other spells or skills useful? bard seems worthless. pickpocket seems worthless. lockpick once i got it seems worthless since i have the blue lockpick. channel seems worthless - you can only use it on 1 group and any tough fights have 6 groups of enemies. pursuit seems stupid - why would i want to chase down an enemy who runs away? intimidate has never done anything even when i try on low level enemies. deflect magic seems to never do anything.

Revision as of 18:18, 25 July 2011
Every once in a while, we need to apply mass upgrades to our servers for various security and other upgrades.
- 1 Contact Information
- 2 Preparation
- 3 Staging
- 4 Special Considerations
- 5 Update Leader
- 6 Group A reboots
- 7 Group B reboots
- 8 Group C reboots
- 9 Doing the upgrade
- 10 Doing the reboot
- 11 Aftermath
Contact Information
Owner: Fedora Infrastructure Team
Contact: #fedora-admin, sysadmin-main, email@example.com, #fedora-noc
Location: All over the world.
Servers: all
Purpose: Apply kernel/other upgrades to all of our servers
- Determine which host group you are going to be doing updates/reboots on.
- Group "A" are servers that end users will see or note being down and anything that depends on them.
- Group "B" are servers that contributors will see or note being down and anything that depends on them.
- Group "C" are servers that infrastructure will notice are down, or are redundent enough to reboot some with others taking the load.
- Appoint an 'Update Leader' for the updates.
- Follow the Outage Infrastructure SOP and send advance notification to the appropriate lists. Try to schedule the update at a time when many admins are around to help/watch for problems and when impact for the group affected is less. Do NOT do multiple groups on the same day if possible.
- Plan an order for rebooting the machines considering two factors:
- Location of systems on the kvm or xen hosts. [You will normally reboot all systems on a host together]
- Impact of systems going down on other services, operations and users. Thus since the database servers and nfs servers are the backbone of many other systems, they and systems that are on the same xen boxes would be rebooted before other boxes.
- To aid in organizing a mass upgrade/reboot with many people helping, it may help to create a checklist of machines in a gobby document.
- Schedule downtime in nagios.
- Make doubly sure that various app owners are aware of the reboots
Any updates that can be tested in staging or a pre-production environment should be tested there first. Including new kernels, updates to core database applications / libraries. Web applications, libraries, etc.
Special Considerations
While this may not be a complete list, here are some special things that must be taken into account before rebooting certain systems:
Disable builders
Before the following machines are rebooted, all koji builders should be disabled and all running jobs allowed to complete:
- db04
- nfs01
- kojipkgs01
Builders can be removed from koji, updated and re-added. Use:
koji disable-host NAME
koji enable-host NAME
(note: you must be a koji admin).
Post reboot action
The following machines require post-boot actions (mostly entering passphrases). Make sure admins that have the passphrases are on hand for the reboot:
- backup-2 (LUKS passphrase on boot)
- sign-vault01 (NSS passphrase for sigul service)
- sign-bridge01 (NSS passphrase for sigul bridge service)
Schedule autoqa01 reboot
There is currently an autoqa01.c host on cnode01. Check with QA folks before rebooting this guest/host.
Bastion01 and Bastion02 and openvpn server
We need one of the bastion machines to be up to provide openvpn for all machines. Before rebooting bastion02, modify: manifests/nodes/bastion0*.phx2.fedoraproject.org.pp files to start openvpn server on bastion01, wait for all clients to re-connect, reboot bastion02 and then revert back to it as openvpn hub.
Update Leader
Each update should have a Leader appointed. This person will be in charge of doing any read-write operations, and delegating to others to do tasks. If you aren't specficially asked by the Leader to reboot or change something, please don't. The Leader will assign out machine groups to reboot, or ask specific people to look at machines that didn't come back up from reboot or aren't working right after reboot. It's important to avoid multiple people operating on a single machine in a read-write manner and interfering with changes.
Group A reboots

Doing the upgrade
If possible, system upgrades should be done in advance of the reboot (with relevant testing of new packages on staging). To do the upgrades, make sure that the Infrastructure RHEL repo is updated as necessary to pull in the new packages (Infrastructure Yum Repo SOP)
On lockbox01, as root run:
func-yum [--host=hostname] update
--host can be specified multiple times and takes wildcards.
pinging people as necessary if you are unsure about any packages.
Additionally you can see which machines still need rebooted with:
sudo func-command --timeout=10 --oneline /usr/local/bin/needs-reboot.py | grep yes
You can also see which machines would need a reboot if updates were all applied with:
sudo func-command --timeout=10 --oneline /usr/local/bin/needs-reboot.py after-updates | grep yes
Doing the reboot
In the order determined above, reboots will usually be grouped by the virtualization hosts that the servers are on. You can see the guests per virt host on lockbox01 in /var/log/virthost-lists.out
For each host you will want to:
- connect and verify no one is logged in and using it. If they are contact them to log off, etc
- grep default /etc/grub.conf # make sure that the kernel you upgraded to will be the one rebooted.
- shutdown -h now
This is also a good time to double check that each guest you are starting up is set to be restarted on reboot of the virt host.
- Make sure that everything's running fine
- Reenable nagios notification as needed
- Make sure to perform any manual post-boot setup (such as entering passphrases for encrypted volumes)
- Close outage ticket.

Reviewed By Jedediah G (Kingsport, TN) Reviewed for a 2008 Nissan Frontier —2/3/2011 10:05 PM
After installing the Airaid CAI, I wanted to add a throttle body spacer. I was very pleased with Airaid so going with them was a no-brainer. After the CAI I gained roughly 1 mpg, that is highway driving with average speeds of 70 mph speed limit. I rechecked the mpg after the TBS and I gained an additional MPG. That might not sound like much, but I have went from 16 mpg to 18 mpg. I have gained 32 miles per tank of gas. That is almost an entire round trip to and from work. That saves me 300 hundred dollars per year driving 15,000/year and $3/gal of gas. Not too bad. Plus the whistle is audible and sounds really cool. The instructions are lacking, but the ones on the internet are in color and a lot easier to see. FYI cut the waffle thing out, that is in the intake pipe on the engine side of the throttle body.

LONG BEACH >> The Lakers season was so bad that their coach paid with his job, resigning Wednesday. But it wasn't just Mike D'Antoni who had a bad year. Southern California sports bar owners say they took a big hit of their own during the past few months as Lakers fans stayed home.
Call it the "Showtime Index" or the "Financial Fluctuations of Fairweather Fandom" or just what bar owners say is a part of business — when the Lakers perform well, business is good.
And when they play poorly, business can suffer.
It's hard to quantify the dollar value between a good Lakers season and a bad one, but a rough approximation from Legends Sports Bar in the Belmont Shore area of Long Beach places the negative impact of the Lakers' woes on the bar at around $150,000.
"It affects everybody, Southern California-wide. The Lakers have a far-reaching economic impact. Lots and lots of businesses rely on your hometown team doing well," said Matt Peterson, co-owner of Legends sports bar.
Worse yet for bar owners, the blow to the Clippers after owner Donald Sterling was banned for life from the NBA over offensive comments has taken place at a time when the team seemed to be in a transition from perennial underdog to the ascendant franchise in Los Angeles.
But even though the Clippers — and not the Lakers — reached the playoffs this year, bar owners said Clippers' fans were not spending money in the same way Lakers fans tend to do before the past week's controversy.
And the still-new baseball season has come with its own set of problems for sports bar owners. If Lakers fans are not in the mood to spend money while watching other teams compete for the championship, Dodgers fans in many neighborhoods cannot even watch their team play on television.
Long Beach is among the areas where the new Dodgers cable network might as well not exist. Peterson says he followed the team when Channel 11 broadcast their games, then Channel 5, and then Channel 9. But now that the Dodgers' new cable network is only available in a patchwork of Southern California neighborhoods that does not include Long Beach, it may be a long time before it's time for Dodger baseball at Legends.
"It's absolutely insane to me," Peterson said. "Not even with rabbit ears can you pull it in."
It's just about the same story 70 or so miles to the northeast where Johnny's Tacos does business in the city of Redlands. No Lakers, no Dodgers and less money.
"You lose probably 10 percent of your sales without the Lakers being in the playoffs, and then there's those idiots with the Dodgers," said owner Marco Lazzarini.
Lazzarini also said Lakers fans who might otherwise be visiting the bar if the team had made the postseason don't seem to care much about the teams that actually did. Other bars noticed similar dropoffs.
"We don't get any more fans from the Lakers right now because they're doing so bad," said Gabby Jara, a manager at the Big Wang's location in Downtown Los Angeles. "All my Lakers fans, I have not seen them for a while, to be honest."
At another spot, Matt Denny's Ale House in Arcadia, manager Vinnie Agura said there was a "little bit" of decrease in attendance while the Lakers struggled, but the establishment is not losing out on baseball.
"We are one of the few places that do get the Dodgers games," Agura said.
The economic downsides of a bad season do not necessarily impact all bars equally. Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill in Sherman Oaks, for example, shows sports and promotes the fact that patrons can view Dodgers games there, but it is not strictly a sports bar, so its fortunes are not tied to the elasticity of Angelenos' demands for Lakers games.
"We're very much a regulars bar, and I don't think it affects us very much," owner Angela Marsden said.

Information for Patients
Also called: DM, Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. You can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.
Blood tests can show if you have diabetes. One type of test, the A1C, can also check on how you are managing your diabetes. Exercise, weight control and sticking to your meal plan can help control your diabetes. You should also monitor your blood glucose level and take medicine if prescribed.

Diabetic Eye Problems
Also called: Diabetic retinopathy
If you have diabetes, your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Over time, this can damage your eyes. The most common problem is diabetic retinopathy. It is a leading cause of blindness in American adults.
Your retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. You need a healthy retina to see clearly. Diabetic retinopathy damages the tiny blood vessels inside your retina.
You may not notice it at first. Symptoms can include
- Blurry or double vision
- Rings, flashing lights, or blank spots
- Dark or floating spots
- Pain or pressure in one or both of your eyes
- Trouble seeing things out of the corners of your eyes
Treatment often includes laser treatment or surgery, with follow-up care.
Two other eye problems can happen to people with diabetes. A cataract is a cloud over the lens of your eye. Surgery helps you see clearly again. Glaucoma happens when pressure builds up in the eye, damaging the main nerve. Eye drops or surgery can help.
If you have diabetes, you should have a complete eye exam every year. Finding and treating problems early may save your vision.

Energy recovery system
SEMCO introduces the eQ Series, an outdoor air energy recovery system.
SEMCO introduces the eQ Series, an outdoor air energy recovery system under 15,000 cfm for schools, offices, hotels, and other commercial applications that are 50,000 sq ft or less. Due to a unique on-board microprocessor and premium 3 angstrom molecular enthalpy wheel technology, the series' eight sizes provide operational savings, pinpoint indoor air quality (IAQ) control, and energy efficiency. The series monitors outdoor temperature and dew point to determine whether the eQ Series' enthalpy-based economizer cycle activates both moisture removal and reheating modes. The series' 3A molecular sieve enthalpy wheel quickly absorbs exhaust air moisture, but not contaminants that can pollute incoming outdoor air and degenerate IAQ.

Music Sunday: The Toy Hearts "Femme Fatale"
I'm having a perfect Sunday with a few of my favorite things: brunch, Bloody Marys, and bluegrass. While no one is taking my food and drink from me, I will share the music.
I'm loving this song Femme Fatale by Birmingham's The Toy Hearts, released on their third album also titled Femme Fatale, which is a blend of bluegrass swing and "gypsy jazz." This gorgeous video for the song was shot at Dawnii Fantana's Painted Lady Tattoo Parlour in Birmingham. If you're not familiar with Dawnii's stellar tattoo work, check it here. The video features my friend Clare Goldilox, who does her hand-poked dotwork magic at Painted Lady, and at times, on the low in the seedy underbelly of society. [She'll deny the latter.]
Clare sent me the video because my Black Tattoo Art book makes a brief cameo (see below). I was stoked but even more so to find a new band to brighten my weekend.
PS: I'm thinking of making "Music Sunday" a regular or semi-regular feature, so if you have a particular song and video you want to share, especially with a tattoo theme, send me links to marisa at needlesandsins.com.
