The term Evangelical Catholic is often used instead of High Church Lutheranism (as are the terms Anglo-Catholic and Old Catholic in their respective traditions) because it is a theological term and genuinely Lutheran. Evangelical Catholic Lutheranism is not strictly defined, and can mean, for example, the theologically, biblically, and socially conservative ultra-high church Lutheranism of the strongly Roman Catholic-oriented Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church and the more Eastern Orthodox-oriented Evangelical Catholic Church, the relative high church Confessional Lutheranism found in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and Arthur Carl Piepkorn, the Evangelical Catholic Orthodoxy of Gunnar Rosendal, the more theologically-liberal high ecclesiology of Carl Braaten, the very liberal Evangelical Catholicism of Nathan Söderblom, even more liberal Catholicism of Friedrich Heiler, or ecumenical vision of Hans Asmussen and Max Lackmann. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada defines its doctrinal basis as such: "We derive our teachings from the Holy Scriptures and confess the three ecumenical creeds of the Christian church. We hold to orthodox catholic theology as enunciated in the ecumenical councils of the first five centuries of Christianity.
Some small, specifically Evangelical Catholic Lutheran, church bodies include the Evangelical Catholic Church, Anglo-Lutheran Catholic Church, Lutheran Orthodox Church, Evangelical Marian Catholic Church, International Lutheran Fellowship, and Association of Independent Evangelical Lutheran Churches. Nordic Catholic Church in Norway has roots in High Church Lutheranism.
Beginning in 1851, William Augustus Muhlenberg, Episcopal clergyman of Lutheran background and father of Ritualist movement in Episcopal Church in the United States of America also published a periodical called "The Evangelical Catholic."
Already earlier, there was an evangelical revival in Roman Catholic Church in Germany, involving Boos, Gossner and Feneberg. This evangelical revivalist movement contributed also to German Lutheranism.
Lusitanian Catholic Apostolic Evangelical Church in Portugal has its origins in Old Catholic movement of the 19th century. Today it belongs to the Anglican Communion.
In England, Ulric Vernon Herford (1866-1938), Mar Jacobus, Bishop of Mercia & Middelesex, founded The Evangelical Catholic Communion. His succession line was brought to the United States in the 1960s and continues in Evangelical Apostolic Church of North America.
In the end of 20th century, Convergence Movement has formed some new church bodies, like Charismatic Episcopal Church. One of the new Catholic Evangelical church is the King's Family of Churches. It governs by an Episcopal polity, embraces the Charismatic renewal, use different liturgical versions in worship, both Anglican and Lutheran, and it has a strong focus in missions and church planting according to its Mission Statement .
Apart from the Convergence Movement, The Evangelical Old Catholic Communion has its roots in Independent Catholicism.

EASTON, Pa. (AP) — A coroner says an accidental heroin overdose killed Garrett Reid, the son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid.
Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek announced the findings Thursday.
Garrett Reid was found dead in his dorm room on Aug. 5 at Lehigh University in Easton, where he was assisting the team's strength and conditioning coach during training camp.
He was a recovering drug addict who had seemingly turned his life around. His father, Andy Reid, had indicated that his 29-year-old son may have had a relapse.

Cardiff Blues v Toulon - Live
80 Cardiff Blues tackle their hearts out at the death as Toulon throw the kitchen sink at the Welsh. It wasn't enough as the home side hold on which cues a pitch invasion. Amazing scenes at the Arms Park!
79 CONVERSION, CARDIFF BLUES, HALFPENNY! 19-15! He does just that. One minute to hang on for the Blues.
78 TRY, CARDIFF BLUES, DAVIES! 17-15! Gareth Davies is the hero as sustained pressure from the Blues leads to the replacement powering his way over. Great tenacity shown and Halfpenny will add the two.
76 Chance here for Cardiff Blues though as Michalak's sent a shocking pass back from a scrum that goes all the way to Mermoz. Unfortunately for him he knocks it forward. Net result, a Blues scrum 20 out.
73 PENALTY, TOULON, WILKINSON! 12-15! Tuisova almost catches Cardiff Blues cold when he breaks down the right wing. However, he decides to chip over Halfpenny and is taken out. Wilkinson kicks the three.
69 PENALTY, CARDIFF BLUES, HALFPENNY! 12-12! Well well well. Delon Armitage had a hand in at ruck time so another opportunity went the way of the Blues. Halfpenny made no mistake with a difficult wide shot!
67 Cardiff Blues almost tie things up after Lobbe went off his feet at ruck time, but Patchell's strike from 55 metres is wide. Toulon seem to be losing their cool here at the Arms Park as time wears on.
64 Well it was almost more points for Toulon there as replacement Bourrust was caught offside, leading to Wilkinson lining one up from halfway. His effort fell just short however so Cardiff remain in touch.
62 That has lifted the home supporters, with a lot of pink hats visible in the crowd today. They seem happier now and the sight of some sunshine surely helps with that. Can they continue their recovery?
59 PENALTY, CARDIFF BLUES, HALFPENNY! 9-12! The Blues are back to within three thanks to a scrum penalty.
58 Some rare good news for Cardiff though as Armitage's clearing kick rolls all the way dead in-goal. We subsequently come all the way back for an attacking Blues scrum just 20 metres out. Big chance here.
57 Play is just inside the Toulon 22 and it's a French scrum that went well last time. Dominance here.
54 PENALTY, TOULON, WILKINSON! 6-12! A scrum penalty eventually leads to three simple points for Wilko.
53 But the French side have been gifted an opportunity to get on the board once more as a poor pass to Halfpenny in his own 22 leads to the full-back fumbling. Toulon scrum in centre field, fifteen out.
51 He's missed. Just wide from Wilkinson.
50 The breakdown appears to be being won by Toulon so far in this half as this time the Blues could find themselves coughing up three points because of it. Wilkinson is lining one up from 40 metres or so.
48 But nothing comes of that as prop Andrews binds incorrectly. A very scrappy start to this second-half.
47 This is much better from the Blues as they run well through Allen on the 22. It is a home scrum now.
45 PENALTY, TOULON, WILKINSON! 6-9! No mistake from the fly-half.
But now the good of Botha as his tackle leads to Armitage winning a turnover so back come Toulon upfield. They soon have a penalty advantage for taking out the lifter so Wilkinson can strike here.
43 Toulon are enjoying the early ball here until side entry from Botha leads to possession being given away. An early gift for the Blues then as Copeland receives a bit of medical treatment on his head.
41 Welcome back to the Arms Park where the rain continues to fall. Toulon have brought on Carl Hayman in one of three changes to their front-row for the second-half. Alex Cuthbert is off for Cardiff Blues.
40 That's it for the first half. Not the most exciting game in history but Cardiff have every chance of sneaking an upset here in very difficult conditions. We'll be back in ten minutes.
38 PENALTY, CARDIFF, HALFPENNY. 6-6. Much easier penalty this time for Halfpenny, who sends it down the middle. Castro the guilty party for playing the ball on the deck.
36 Halfpenny MISSES from just inside his own half. The rain is chucking down, so it was always going to be a tough task.
36 A long interval now as the TMO has a look for suspected foul play from Bakkies Botha. It looks like there is nothing in it...but the TMO recommends a penalty for an arm to the face. That's a pedantic if you ask me.
35 RAIN! Lots of it. Heavy, driving rain.
34 Toulon get out of jail as the ref penalises Scott Andrews for going down in the scrum. That's a harsh call.
32 Delon Armitage is punished for trying to be too smart, chipping over the top after collecting the ball in the corner...he knocks on as he tries to regather and Cardiff have a great attacking opportunity with a scrum inside the Toulon 22. Silly boy!
30 Kicking is the names of the game. Patchell finds touch with a clever kick into Toulon territory. That'll boost the Cardiff pack as they trot to the line-out.
28 PENALTY, TOULON, WILKINSON. 3-6. Easy does it for Wilko. Toulon move ahead for the first time.
27 Toulon keep it tight as they build in centre field. Filo Paulo tackles Xavier Chiocci without the ball...penalty.
25 Turnover after the scrum and Toulon clear. Patchell imitates Wilkinson and kicks it straight out. Line-out to Toulon on the Cardiff 10m line.
23 A loud "booooo" goes up from the crowd who reckon Copeland is pulled back after breaking and chipping ahead. Wilkinson gets back to clean up but kicks it straight out after carrying it into his 22. Scrum to Cardiff inside the Toulon 22.
21 PENALTY, TOULON, WILKINSON. 3-3. Jonny doesn't miss from there. We're all square.
20 Trouble here for Cardiff as Patchell fumbles an easy pass inside his own 22. Toulon force the penalty at scrum time. Wilko should slot this.
18 Toulon create a try out of nothing. Great skill from Josua Tuisova, who makes the initial break. Steffon Armitage hacks it ahead...Tuisova toes it ahead and then follows up to score!...wait...NO!! The TMO is called upon and he reckons the first pass from Tuisova to Armitage was forward. Harsh call!
16 More kicking...then some more kicking, followed by...more kicking. Eventually Alex Cuthbert has a go but is sacked in midfield. Two phases later and it's turned over. More kick tennis...it all ends in a line-out to Toulon inside on own 10m line.
14 Jenkins v Castrogiovanni is a real tussle as the teams pack down a few times on the halfway line. Eventually it comes out and, once again, Michalak kicks it high. Cardiff counter through Harry Robinson, who sprints 30m! But the penalty goes against Cardiff at the first breakdown as Patchell takes a man out before he gets to the ruck.
12 There is a light drizzle falling and both teams are looking to take advantage of the slippery ball with lots of up-and-unders. It's very hard for the full-backs...expect lots of scrums today, which will suit Toulon.
10 Toulon give away a free kick for going early but Copeland fumbles as he tries to take it quickly! Wilko sends play back into the Cardiff half off the back of a solid Toulon scrum.
9 Everything is going perfectly for Patchell, who tests Armitage with a high ball. The Toulon full-back can't hold on. It's hacked ahead but the ball goes over the deadball line, we'll come back for the scrum on the 22 where Armitage knocked on.
7 The early momentum is with the Blues as Patchell thumps another long kick to find touch. Toulon's first attack has the Blues under pressure though as they run it off the back of the line-out. Michalak feeds a scrum inside the Blues' 22 but it's not in straight...a let off for the Blues and Patchell can clear.
5 PENALTY, CARDIFF, PATCHELL. 3-0. Huge kick from the young fly-half to draw first blood for the home side!
3 Solid enough start from Cardiff, who keep it in hand to build up to the halfway line. Penalty! Patchell will have a crack from over 50m!
1 Here we go! Rhys Patchell kicks us off at Arms Park. Bakkies Botha rises high to take it in. Wilkinson goes high with his first kick. In bounces in the middle of a bunch of players and Cardiff can attack. Nope..it's spilt again. Some kick tennis follows before Wilko finds touch deep inside the Cardiff half.
Cardiff team news: Robin Copeland has been named at number eight in place of Andries Pretorius for the Blues, whilst the other change to the team sees talented centre Owen Williams recalled to partner Cory Allen in midfield.
Toulon team news: Jonny Wilkinson starts and is captain despite being a doubt earlier in the week due to a hand injury. Steffon Armitage starts at openside flanker in place of Joe Van Niekerk.
Hello and welcome to Cardiff Arms Park where the champions of Europe have come to town hunting five points. It may sound harsh, but after Toulon's demolition of Glasgow last week and the Blues' capitulation in Exeter, it's hard to see the hosts winning today. Kick-off is approaching...don't go away!

Northwest of downtown San Diego, California, looms Mount Soledad - an expansive hill
which rewards the climber with a panoramic view of the Northern reaches of the city. To
the North lay the beautiful beaches of La Jolla and the blue Pacific. To the South may be
seen the glittering skyscrapers of the city, the waterways of the San Diego bay, and the
huge arching bridge to Coronado. The Eastern view reveals lush green canyons and mountains
in the distance. Atop Mount Soledad is a public park, making this wondrous vista available
to every citizen ... every Christian citizen, anyway.
In the middle of the park stands a huge, white, Latin cross, visible from the beaches and
canyons below. The location of this cross has been a gathering place for Easter worship
services for over 70 years. The cross itself was constructed and dedicated with Easter
sunrise events in mind. Despite its clearly Christian nature and purpose, this monument
has been supported on public land by city funds for decades.
Several years ago, this clear violation of the First Amendment's establishment clause
was challenged in the courts by two brave San Diego citizens. Howard Kreisner of the
Atheist Coalition and Philip Paulson of the Humanist Association of San Diego both sued
the city over the cross. With legal help from Dr. Peter Irons, a Constitutional lawyer who
also teaches political science at the University of California, San Diego, the two
plaintiffs managed to convince the court that the cross must be removed from public land.
The city appealed this decision, and the appeals court reiterated the need to remove the
cross. The Supreme Court refused to hear the city's subsequent appeal.
Ignoring the court's order, the City of San Diego sold a tiny plot of land around the
cross to a private organization, the Mount Soledad Memorial Association, for a
ridiculously small sum. This blatant attempt to avoid the judgement of the court is
currently being challenged, with the next hearing scheduled for early May.
Last February, in the midst of this legal battle, Dr. Irons visited the local parks
department to see if the Mount Soledad Memorial Association had acquired a permit to use
the park this Easter. To his surprise, he discovered that no permit had been requested,
and, indeed, such a permit had not been issued to the Memorial Association to conduct
their Christian worship services for years. It was simply assumed by the city
that the park would be reserved for these services. Seizing a rare opportunity, Dr. Irons
immediately made application for use of the park on Easter morning. In the
"organization" blank of the application, Dr. Irons listed the Atheist Coalition,
despite the fact that he does not consider himself an atheist. Several weeks
later, the Atheist Coalition membership voted nearly unanimously to support Dr. Irons'
Easter morning event. This support was offered even though many members of the Coalition
had already made plans to attend a national atheists convention in the Midwest on that
Under the guidance of Dr. Irons and activist Craig Kelso, the theme for the Easter
morning event became "The Park Belongs to Everyone". A program of speakers was
assembled from San Diego's diverse religious and non-religious minority groups. The
message went out that this secular celebration was to welcome all citizens,
without concern for convictions or beliefs. This open invitation did not appeal to the
local media, which chose instead to cast this gathering as a battle between atheists and
Christians. The local newspapers contained frequent stories and editorials on the
usurpation of this sacred ground by the childish and mean spirited atheists. The San Diego
Memorial Association refused to join in the celebration, opting to reserve the park for
Memorial Day, instead. One San Diego City Councilman, who also happens to be a Baptist
preacher, reserved the park for the hour preceding the Atheist Coalition Easter
event, but front page headlines soon thereafter declared that God himself had told this
distinguished gentleman to withdraw his reservation.
Many people climbed Mount Soledad on the morning of April 7th. With sleep still in
their eyes from the reinstantiation of daylight savings time, people were forced by
limited parking space to climb to the top of the hill on foot. Arriving in darkness,
members of the "The Park Belongs to Everyone" committee quitely set up for their
event while television cameras captured the wild circus of street preachers and angry
Christian banner wavers which pranced about the cross. As the sun crept above the
mountains, the celebration of freedom and diversity began.
Dr. Irons and Craig Kelso welcomed the crowd, which numbered between 200 and 300. The
sound of their voices over the P.A. system was heard by the demonstrators at the nearby
cross, and a parade of banner toting crusaders marched towards the podium. The motley crew
of anti-separationists included several bible thumpers shouting hallelujahs, a mock Jesus
bearing a large wooden cross and receiving flogging by a woman wearing bunny-rabbit
make-up, and a collection of young muscular men wearing clothing reminiscent of inner city
street gangs, chanting "It's the blood that sets me free".
The disruption was significant, but the separationists went on. Scott Nailor, speaking
on behalf of the Atheist Coalition, shouted out his piece, ignoring the drone of the
protesters behind him. Television cameras ignored his words and focused instead on any
interaction that showed promise of escalating into violence. Brave freethinkers and other
separationists stepped forward to quietly interpose their bodies between the protesters
and the speakers. Then, as if out of nowhere, several uniformed officers of the San Diego
Police Department appeared and calmly enforced the park permit granted to Dr. Irons. The
Christian protesters were directed to keep their distance, and their shouts and chants
slowly died down to an occasional heckling.
JoAnne Harrison, speaking for the local wiccans, related the pagan history of Easter.
She was followed by the Reverend Tom Owen-Towle of the First Unitarian Universalist
Church. A musical interlude was then provided by Vincent Clarke, an amiable elderly
trombonist who had played in years past for the Christian services held on Mount Soledad.
On this occasion, Mr. Clarke entertained the crowd with a selection of secular show tunes.
The crowd joined in, clapping and singing along.
After the music, Alan Mandelberg of the Humanist Fellowship of San Diego approached the
podium and called attention to the trend towards secularization in our world, praising the
democratic principles which allowed diversity of opinion to thrive. Speaking for the San
Diego Association of Secular Humanists, David Noelle answered some of
the anti-separationist attacks which had appeared in the press. The Reverend Dr. Dusty
Pruitt, pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church (a Christian church appealing to the
gay and lesbian population of San Diego), spoke next. She reviled the Christian
protesters, offering a view of Christianity consistent with First Amendment concerns.
Finally, Dr. Peter Irons addressed the crowd. He reviewed the history of the recent
cross litigation and called upon the city government to recognize the diversity of its
constituency. He bemoaned the way in which the media had focused on and hoped for
confrontation and conflict at this event, and he rejoiced in how peaceful and civil this
diverse Easter morning gathering had been. He extended warm words of gratitude to the
supportive crowd and also to the Christian protesters who had actually stayed to hear all
of the speakers.
After taking in a final scan of the breath-taking view, the crowd descended. There was
no way to predict how the press would report this event, or how the courts would respond
to it. Still, one thing was sure. The religious and non-religious minorities of San Diego
had stood together and insisted that their city grant them - all of them - their
full rights under the law.

Community Sanitation Overview:
The City of Saint George is located on the northeast shore of Saint George Island, about 750 air miles west of Anchorage in the Bering Sea. Four groundwater wells provide drinking water for residents and the harbor, and there is storage capacity for 250,000 gallons. The existing piped water and wastewater system was constructed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) back in the 1950s. Sixty residences are connected to the system and are fully plumbed. The city also provides refuse collection service.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
RUBA staff continued to reach out to city staff this quarter to provide utility management assistance. A new city clerk, who held some utility clerk duties, was appointed at the end of 2013, but resigned this quarter and replaced with an interim city clerk. RUBA staff contacted the interim clerk and the mayor to offer on-site training in clerk roles and responsibilities as they related to sanitation utility management. RUBA staff also spoke with the city's bookkeeper this quarter, explaining the various types of assistance available through the RUBA Program. RUBA staff later spoke with the mayor and requested monthly meeting minutes and financial reports as distributed to the city council, but was told they were not available. RUBA staff formally invited city staff and officials to RUBA-sponsored utility management trainings in Anchorage. In addition to these efforts to offer training and technical assistance, and attempts to collect supporting documentation, RUBA staff verified that the city is current with its tax reporting and payment requirements.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
RUBA staff will continue offering training and technical assistance this coming quarter. Additionally, RUBA staff will again propose updating the city's utility management assessment in order to identify utility management issues.
Essential Indicators:
11 of 26
Sustainable Indicators:
11 of 27
Total Score:
22 of 53
Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.
The utility has on hand a year's adequate fuel supply or it has a financial plan to purchase an adequate supply.
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources) sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources sufficient to cover operating expenses and Repair & Replacement (R) costs.
YTD revenues are at a level equal to or above those budgeted.
YTD expenditures are at a level equal to or below those budgeted.
A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comments
The City of St. George's fiscal year follows the calendar year. It's FY13 budget, though adopted late by non-code ordinance on May 30, 2013, is balanced and projects that the city will see a net profit of nearly $9,000 at the end of December 2013. As of November the city was still operating at a $76,000 net loss, which indicates that budget amounts may not have been realistic. Utility income and expenses are included as line items in the overall city budget. The city budgets to receive about $300,000 in commercial and residential utility user fees and budgets appropriately for payroll, contracted services, insurance, travel, repairs and maintenance, water sampling, and fuel. RUBA staff was able to obtain through the city's contracted accountant a Profit and Loss statement showing that user fees alone for water and wastewater services, as of December 16, were insufficient to meet annual expenses. No budget amendment has been adopted to address discrepancies. The city has not responded to requests for copies of monthly financial reports submitted to the city council at its monthly meetings, nor copies of meeting minutes which could be used to verify that a monthly manager's report is prepared. The city reports having enough fuel.
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
The city contracts with Aleut Accounting in Anchorage to maintain most of its bookkeeping processes. Aleut Accounting utilizes QuickBooks. The contractor was able to provide RUBA staff with current copies of an overall city balance sheet and utility Profit and Loss statements. However, that Profit and Loss only lists utility expenses; utility income is reported to be managed separately by the community's AMPY payment operator who did not respond to requests for supporting documentation. Therefore, RUBA staff cannot determine whether all necessary accounting processes, such as a cash receipt system and reconciliation procedures, are in place. Nonetheless, because the city uses the AMPY payment system which requires residential customers to pre-pay for any utility services, it can be inferred that the utility bills customers on a regular basis. Commercial customers, though, do not use the AMPY system and without supporting documentation from the utility it is not clear whether these customers are routinely billed or whether there are outstanding commercial utility accounts. The community has reported that the collections policy, which is included in a utility ordinance adopted in 2008, is not consistently enforced. Utility rates have not been adequately raised to compensate for increased fuel costs. This issue needs to go before the city council, and devoting a portion of each council meeting to utility issues (structural, financial, and visionary) is an essential practice.
Tax Problems
Essential Indicators
The utility has a system to accurately calculate, track, and report payroll tax liabilities.
The utility is current on filing tax reports.
The utility is current on making tax deposits.
If there are any past due tax liabilities or recorded tax liens, a lien release has been issued or a repayment agreement has been signed and repayments are current.
Tax Problems Comments
The city has not returned signed authorization for RUBA staff to verify federal tax filings and deposits. However, the State's Department of Labor and Workforce Development confirmed on March 14, 2014 that the city is current in making its employment security (ESC) tax filings and deposits. The city is not listed in the September-October 2013 Lien Watch report.
Personnel System
Essential Indicators
The utility has a posted workers compensation insurance policy in effect.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted and uses a Personnel Policy, which has been reviewed by an attorney, AML or Commerce for topics and language.
The utility has adequate written job descriptions for all positions.
The utility has adopted and follows a written personnel evaluation process that ties the job description to the evaluation.
The utility has an adequate written hiring process.
The utility has personnel folders on every employee that contain at least: I-9, Job Application and Letter of Acceptance.
The utility has a probationary period for new hires that includes orientation, job training/oversight, and evaluations.
The utility provides training opportunities to staff as needed and available.
Personnel System Comments
RUBA staff confirmed on March 13, 2014 that the City of St. George has a valid workers' compensation insurance policy through the Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association (AMLJIA). There is an adopted personnel policy in place and written job descriptions, but in practice the city does not conduct regular employee evaluations or follow a standard hiring process. As the result of a small labor pool and geographic isolation, many city and utility positions in St. George are held by employees who lack job-specific training or experience. St. George nonetheless encourages and financially supports the training of its employees, as partly evidenced by budget allocations for travel and training and the utility operator having met certification requirements ahead of a 2014 deadline.
Organizational Management
Essential Indicators
The entity that owns the utility is known; the entity that will operate the utility is set.
The policy making body is active in policy making of the utility.
The policy making body enforces utility policy.
The utility has an adequately trained manager.
The utility has an adequately trained bookkeeper.
The utility has an adequately trained operator or operators.
The utility has adopted the necessary ordinances (or rules and regulations) necessary to give it the authority to operate.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted an organizational chart that reflects the current structure.
The policy making body meets as required.
The utility complies with the open meeting act for all meetings.
Organizational Management Comments
A utility ordinance was adopted by the city council in 2008 and establishes the city as the owner and operator of the community's sanitation utilities. The city council does not meet monthly as required by municipal and state law, meaning that utility issues are not fully considered by its policy-making body. As described in other sections of this report, most bookkeeping functions for the city are conducted by the city's contracted professional accountant. The city's primary operator holds provisional certification and has already obtained the Continued Education Units (CEUs) necessary to maintain that certification. However, RUBA staff has not been provided evidence that the utility manager is adequately trained. There is also no evidence that the city continues to comply with the Open Meetings Act for all meetings.
Operation of Utility
Essential Indicators
The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification.
The utility has a preventative maintenance plan developed for the existing sanitation facilities.
Sustainable Indicators
The manager receives a monthly O&M report from the utility operator and routinely "spot checks" the facilities to see that the maintenance items are being completed.
The utility has a safety manual and holds safety meetings.
Utility facilities have not suffered any major problems/outages due to management issues that are unresolved.
The utility is operating at the level of service that was proposed.
The operator provides status reports to the manager on a routine basis.
The utility has completed and distributed its "Consumer Confidence Report".
The utility is not on the "Significant Non-Complier" (SNC) list.
The utility maintains an inventory control list.
The utility maintains a critical spare parts list.
Operation of Utility Comments
The State's Department of Environmental Conservation recognizes one operator for the community. This operator is provisionally certified in water distribution until the end of 2014 and has already met renewal requirements. The utility does not have a safety manual nor do they hold safety meetings. A preventative maintenance plan was adopted by the city council in 2009. Saint George is not listed on the January 2014 Significant Non-Complier (SNC) list. The operator has completed inventory and critical spare parts lists.

Shutterfly's best products are custom hard cover photo books created using their online software tools. Shutterfly offers a bazillion different sorts of cards, as well as photo prints and Internet image storage
Shutterfly has soft cover and hard cover books in many sizes. Soft cover books are less expensive. When you want a personal photo book with professional presentation and impact, spend the extra money and get a hard cover book. The covers are gorgeous, and the interior pages look and feel like a real book.
Printing quality is excellent, and images are just as bright and colorful on Shutterfly's book pages as they appear on your Mac's display. I will never again order an iPhoto book from Apple, given the choice. The Internet is full of raves and rants for a dozen or more competing online book printing companies. Until I am proven wrong, Shutterfly is my first choice.

CHIPLEY - A Wausau woman is recovering from injuries sustained during a one-car accident last week.
The Florida Highway Patrol reports Mikaela Stewart-Bush, 22, was traveling on Davidson Rd. around 3 p.m. Thursday when her vehicle fishtailed, causing her to lose control of her car and sending her into the driveway of a private residence.
The passenger side of Stewart-Bush's car sideswiped a tree, and the car came to a final rest on the lawn, facing south.
FHP reports a seatbelt was in use at the time of the accident.

However, if we're trying to estimate true talent by looking at the stats, we should be regressing his BABIP towards league average quite a bit.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I respect Doug's opinion on these catchers, but what does Mesoraco's .855 OPS normalize to this year? If Grandal's normalized OPS is .800, and Mesoraco's is say .825, are we really talking about another level? The reports on Grandal's arm are not world beating, but you know, every time I hear Mesoraco brought up from the Red's perspective its that "he's learning" or "he's working on some things". It's never a ringing type of statement. It sort of reminds me of Sappelt. I'm not saying Mez has any serious issues, but he's certainly not a finished product defensively. He's also not a lock to OPS over .800 year in and year out, if at all.
2015 Rotation: Under Construction
But I'd go back to the whole scouting/stats distinction. I don't claim to be a scout, but the ones I've seen/heard from say that Mesoraco has a significantly higher offensive upside than Grandal. That certainly doesn't make it fact -- as we've seen with Votto -- but it's still the best insight we've got. As for the working on things, show me a 23 year old catcher who is a finished product and I've got a bridge to sell you.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same.

Dimensions of Bakersfield home field LF: 328 CF: 354 RF: 328
I'm not knocking Grandal, but Mesoraco is on a whole different level until Grandal proves otherwise.
As for normalizing things, I will say this.... Louisville's right field robbed Mesoraco of a few extra HR's this season that he would have gotten in most places, including GABP. He is a pull hitter, but when he goes the other way it is usually with power. Last season his IsoP to right field was .447, which is pretty darn good. This season it was below .200 in Louisville. It is a tough place to hit the ball out of.
As for the knocks on Mesoraco's defense.... I think these are the same things you hear about just about all minor league catchers. We just haven't had any worth talking about who were young in how long? Hanigan was always an older guy (spent his career in the minor leagues until he was 27) and who was the last guy from the system to catch before him? I think it is just a perception thing because we haven't had a guy worth talking about at that position who was also young in 10+ years.
2 Names -- Saltimacchia and Teagarden. Prospects don't always become JB. Keep 'em both.
I'm going to miss Johnny Beisbol
Unless we are blown away with an offer, meaning a TOR type of SP, then no, we shouldn't, and I mean that for both Mes and Grandal.
I can't find any splits on where Yasmani hit the ball in Bakersfield, or any milb splits in 2011 for that matter, so I can't argue that Yas was aided by his environment and Mez was hurt by it. We'll go with Doug on that.
I will leave open the possibility, though, that Yasmani has the skill set to put the ball in play where he wants to more often, leading to a higher BABIP than Mez, who just takes a strong cut and can really connect, but often just misses good contact. For a 1st round talent out of Miami that has been praised for his approach, I wouldn't put it past him yet, and a high BABIP is certainly not an uncommon trait for advanced hitters in the minors, no matter the environment.
In his first year of pro ball he did well. Like many 1st round catchers, he spent 22 in A+ and AA. I suspect he may need to work on pitch recognition if his bb rate in AA was due to better off spead stuff. His 22% or so K rate needs to come down to the teens, IMO, which I think it can.
I did some research on 1st round C's recently and would rank them, based on their 22-23 y/o seasons in A+ through AAA, like so:
Weiters A
Posey A-
Mesoraco B+ (2010)
Grandal B (2011)
Jason Castro B-
Jeff Clement C
However, I put Grandal's floor a bit higher than Mez due to OBP skills and approach.

AT&T Wants FCC to Probe Google Voice
Article Comments 80
Sep 25, 2009, 3:27 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
In a letter sent to the Federal Communications Commission, AT&T has asked the agency to look into Google's Voice product. AT&T alleges that Google Voice blocks customers from calling certain numbers, thereby violating FCC regulations. AT&T likens the call-blocking to the call for net neutrality, and says that if phone companies need to all play by the same rules, then so do internet companies such as Google. Google Voice is a call-forwarding system that lets users give out one central phone number and have it ring other phone lines when called. It allows users to maintain some degree of privacy, as well as consolidate services. Google does block Voice customers from calling adult chat lines and some conference call systems due to the high fees levied by those services. Neither Google nor the FCC have commented on AT&T's letter.

I live in SA and apple is huge here... I have owned 3g, 3gs, 4 and now 4s as well as ipad 1 and ipad 2. atleast 1 in 2 people i know own a ios device yet we still have no proper app store in sa and most RSA locals use the US store
From Albania to Zimbabwe, App Store now available in 32 additional countries
During the WWDC 2012 keynote, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the already expansive iTunes App Store would be adding 32 more countries to the list -- and so they have.
Users can now buy, and developers can now sell, iPhone and iPad apps in Albania, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Chad, Congo, Fiji, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Micronesia, Mongolia, Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Sao Tome e Principe, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Swaziland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe.
According to Aleksandr of UkrainianiPhone, all types of apps appear to be there, and the top lists are populating, but redeem codes aren't (yet?) working.
For developers, Apple has apparently sent out a note explaining how to sell apps in the new App Store locations.
Before you can sell your apps in the new territories, you must agree to the new iOS Paid Applications or Mac OS X Paid Applications contract. To view all current and outstanding contracts, see the Contracts, Tax and Banking module on iTunes Connect.
Once you have agreed to the new contracts, your apps will be available in all new territories. To manage the territories for your app, see the Rights and Pricing section in the Manage Your Applications module on iTunes Connect. Note that pricing for the new territories is in U.S. dollars (USD).
If your country just got the App Store let us know how it's working for you. Any major categories or apps missing?

East College Room 203B
Author of "Political Aesthetics" (Cornell University Press, 2010), "Six Names of Beauty" (Routledge 2004), and many other books. Interests include hip hop and other popular musics, anarchist political theory, epistemology, Asian philosophy.
FYSM 100 First-Year Seminar
The First-Year Seminar (FYS) introduces students to Dickinson as a "community of inquiry" by developing habits of mind essential to liberal learning. Through the study of a compelling issue or broad topic chosen by their faculty member, students will: - Critically analyze information and ideas - Examine issues from multiple perspectives - Discuss, debate and defend ideas, including one's own views, with clarity and reason - Develop discernment, facility and ethical responsibility in using information, and - Create clear academic writing The small group seminar format of this course promotes discussion and interaction among students and their professor. In addition, the professor serves as students' initial academic advisor. This course does not duplicate in content any other course in the curriculum and may not be used to fulfill any other graduation requirement.
PHIL 201 Ancient Philosophy
This course is an introduction to central questions, claims and arguments in ancient philosophy, centering on the work of Plato and Aristotle. Potential questions include: What is the value of reason and knowledge? What is knowledge? Is it always better to be just than unjust? What constitutes a good human life? What kind of thing is a human being?Prerequisite: one prior course in philosophy or permission of the instructor.
PHIL 251 Philosophy of Religion
This course focuses on philosophical issues arising from religious belief and practice.Topics treated may include: the existence and nature of god or gods; the contested relation of a god to moral values; faith and reason as sources of belief or ways of believing, as expressed in classic texts by thinkers such as Aquinas, Hume, Kierkegaard, and William James, as well as in contemporary texts. Prerequisite: one prior course in philosophy or permission of the instructor.
PHIL 265 Non-Western Aesthetics
As the arts of non-Western cultures(roughly, non-European and European-American cultures) are distinct from those of the West, so are the reflections on that art. Philosophy of art courses often focus exclusively on Western philosophy. This course seeks to broaden the conversation. It concerns reflections on the arts in Japanese, Indian, Native American, and African (including diasporic) cultures. It is a question, with regard to several of these cultures, whether they conceive of a distinct sphere of art at all; the arts (as is true of the West until perhaps 1750) are often not distinguished from the crafts, religious ceremony and objects, festival, medicine, and so on. This provides an interesting challenge to the Western concept of art. Prerequisite: one prior course in art history or philosophy or permission of the instructor. This course satisfies either the DIV 1.a. or 1.c. distribution requirement. This course is cross-listed as ARTH 265.
PHIL 202 17th & 18th Century Philosophy
This course treats the Rationalists, Empiricists and Kant, with particular emphasis on issues in epistemology and metaphysics, such as the possibility and limits of human knowledge, the role of sense perception and reason in knowledge, the nature of substance, God and reality.Prerequisite: one prior course in philosophy or permission of the instructor.

C. H. W. Lilley's letter (1 June) about the team from BTH in Rugby who worked with Sir Frank Whittle in 1936-37 is part of an interesting pattern - the small numbers of eyewitnesses at such great but lonely moments in the history of technology.
The Wright brothers had five witnesses in 1903; only a 16-year-old office boy, William Taynton (1910-1976) saw Baird's television breakthrough on 2 October 1925; Goddard's first liquid-filled rocket launch was seen by a crowd of four, and only John Atanasoff and his assistant Clifford Berry (1918-1963) were privy to the first functioning of an electronic computer, on an unrecorded date in October 1939.
The names of the four other witnesses of the vital fourth test-bed run of Whittle's engine, the WU-1, on 12 April 1937 were Harry Webb, Harry Bentley and Messrs. Bailey and Berry. If any reader has any personal details such as places ...

White House Press Secretary Robert "Glib" Gibbs stepped in it on one of the Sunday talk shows last week when he admitted that the Democrats could lose control of the House to Republicans come the November election.
The comment made House Speaker Nancy Pelosi so mad she almost changed her facial expression. Worse, she had to cancel her botox treatment appointment.
What could've been Gibbs' reasoning for making that statement? Well, maybe…..
1. Democrats historically are successful at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory —- they want to maintain consistency.
2. Democrats look forward to being minority party again so they can start the wimpy alternative energy Green Tea Party.
3. Democrats look forward to seeing if the GOP, Fox News, Lush Rimbaugh and the Baked Alaskan still have an act when they can't gripe and scare America as easily when they're in charge.
4. Have the majority, but can't get things passed —- too intimidated by Orrin Hatch.
5. Two treasure chests were placed in a huge fish tank. One was marked "Democrats" — but Paul the Octopus, the mollusk that predicted victories in the World Cup soccer events, including the ultimate winner, Spain, picked the other treasure chest marked "GOP."
Paul the Octopus could've probably predicted the sports awards winners on Wednesday when ESPN telecasted its Espy awards, which honored the best in sports over the past year.
Not surprisingly, the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints cleaned up.
The Espys also went overboard trying to make winners out of the U.S. men's soccer team, who were eliminated relatively early on, but are somehow continually treated as winners for "making the country proud." Give them a hand, ah, never mind, they don't use their hands.
"Saturday Night Live" 'Weekend News anchor Seth Meyers was emcee of the telecast — and he scored big time with his monologue.
Turns out he had some easy targets — athletes are in the same league as entertainers because they have the same capacity to mess up or do something out of the ordinary or controversial. In short, you can kick 'em when they're up as much as you can when they're down.
From LeBron James' move from Cleveland to Miami (Myers: "Cleveland, you have the word "leve" in your name") to Tiger Woods' wife being the free agent who will make the most money this year, to the Espys themselves (Meyers: "The Espys combine sports and entertainment — just like a Kardasian sisters' bedroom") Meyers proved he has a future hosting awards shows. Except maybe the Tonys, which is the antithesis of the Espys.
Missing at the Espys:
1. Rush Limbaugh. The Espys are his worst nightmare (aside from no refills for his oxycontin.) Why? Do you have to ask —– there's a whole auditorium full of millionaire African-American athletes.
2. Former Vice President Dick Cheney. No, not because the Espys disqualified enhanced interrogation and shooting your friend in the face while quail hunting as sports categories. No, Dick was missing because he had life-saving heart surgery last week —- and the media didn't even know about him going under the knife. Still another secret Sarah Palin wasn't let in on. The old codger is doing well and will be up and snearing again before you know it. By the way, pretty darn good health care plan, huh Dick?
3. Looney tune Minnesota Republican Congresswoman Michele "They're coming to take me away, ha! ha!" Bachmann. At the last minute she realized that she was going to speak at the wrong forum to push her theory that "Obama is turning America into a nation of slaves."
4. Tea Party candidate Sharron Angle. A no-show because, unlike her running to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry "Droopey" Reid in Nevada, going to the Espys wasn't her "calling — a path laid out by God."
5. Mel Gibson. Wanted to be the emcee, but insulting and demeaning every ethnic group represented in the audience? Mel needs work, but remakes are not part of the deal.
