Quilled Paper Designs
Quilling, also known as paper filigree, is an art form that involves rolling and gluing thin strips of paper into various shapes and arranging them to form designs. Quilled paper designs can be very simple or as complex as you have the dexterity and patience for! The art of quilling dates back to the Renaissance when French […]
Masterpiece Mosaics: a Collaborative Art Project for Grades K – 8
These colorful projects, which I call "Masterpiece Mosaics", were a collaborative effort by my students in grades K through middle school. Each grade level created their own copy of a famous painting – six masterpieces in all, on display now through Christmas at our local art store. These were really pretty easy to do, and […]
Painting Great Greens!
Green is a color that students often take for granted. When painting greens, many will default to just using the green in their paint set. This results in paintings that lack depth and interest. With some basic color mixing instruction, kids can paint a variety of greens and greatly improve their paintings at the same […]
Crayon Resist Easter Card
Here's a quick and easy crayon resist project I did with some of my 1st and 2nd graders. Students folded 12×18 paper in half and painted on the front, for a charming Easter card. Inside, they wrote: "He is risen! He is risen indeed!" Materials: 12×18 heavy-weight white construction paper black crayons watercolors (I like […]

|Product Code:
|ProVu Series
|Feature Rich and Flexible
|The ProVu® meter boasts specifications and functionality that clearly make it one of the most advanced process meters available. Its dual-line 6-digit display (999,999), advanced signal input conditioning, function keys, Modbus RTU serial communications, and optional expansion modules are only a few of the features found on the ProVu PD6000.
|Front Panel Display
|Precise, Accurate, and More Informative
|ProVu's large 0.6" upper display provides a highly accurate and precise 6-digit view of the process measurement. Its 24-bit A/D is accurate to ±0.03% of calibrated span ±1 count.
|The upper display can be programmed to indicate PV, maximum (peak), minimum (valley), alternating maximum / minimum, one of eight alarm set points, or Modbus input. The lower display can also be configured to display engineering units, set points, user defined legends, or simply turned off.
|Optional SunBright Display Models
|ProVu's SunBright display models have an extraordinarily bright LED display. They are perfect for applications where the meter is in direct sunlight or in applications where visibility may be impaired by smoke, fog, dust, or distance. Option is available on all ProVu models.
|Function Keys
|There are three function keys available to the user. These keys can be programmed to trigger certain events (i.e. acknowledge alarms, reset max and/or min, disable/enable output relays, or hold current relay states), provide direct menu access points, and more.
|A unique front panel design makes the ProVu digital panel meter nearly impenetrable in typical applications. Here, the ProVu easily survives a direct hit on the display from a heavy 2" solid stainless steel ball dropped from eight feet.
|Easy to Use
|The user friendly dual-line display makes the ProVu easy to set up & program. No jumpers to set for input selection. All setup & programming is done via the front panel. Three levels of password protection help maintain the reliability of the programming.
|Dual-Scale Display Feature
|The ProVu PD6000 has a rather unique and very flexible dual-scale capability; a second scaled display can represent the measured input in a different form (i.e. gallons & height). This is of particular value in level applications. Please see the examples shown below. Both displays are independently scaled and are based on the 4-20 mA input signal. Beyond level, this function has been used for pressure & force, current & power, feet & meters, GPM & CFM, and more.
|Three Tier Password Protection
|The ProVu offers 3 levels of password protection:
|Advanced Linearization Capability
|The ProVu includes a 32-point linearizer. In non-linear level applications (i.e. some pumping or lift stations), it can easily compensate for submerged equipment or plumbing that displace usable volume. A second independent 8-point linearizer is available for a second scaled display (PV2) when "Level" function is enabled. Precision Digital's free MeterView Pro PC-based software greatly simplifies the construction of the linearization tables. The software can save this data to the meter and/or PC.
|On-Board Digital Input
|The PD6000 includes a digital input as standard. This digital input can operate with the tare, reset tare, or interlock relays feature, force relays on from a signal from a PLC or relay on other equipment, and much more. This is ideal for installations where the meter is inaccessible behind a cover, or where an additional function key is needed for customized operation.
|The rounding feature is used to give the user a steadier display with fluctuating signals. It causes the display to round to the nearest value according to the rounding value selected (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100). For example, with a rounding value of 10, and a input of 12346, the display would indicate 12350.
|Max/Min Display
|Max/Min (or Peak/Valley) is standard on the ProVu PD6000. Either display can be configured to show either maximum or minimum excursion since last reset. The displays can also be configured to toggle between Max and Min values. Both values can be simply reset from the front panel
|Digital Communications
|Modbus® RTU Serial Communications
|With the purchase of a serial communication adapter, ProVu meters can communicate with any Modbus Master device using the ever-popular Modbus communications protocol that is included in every ProVu. This greatly increases the flexibility of the meter. Modbus provides much more capability than read PV and write set points. Below are some examples of other things that can be done with ProVu's Modbus communications.
|Meter Copy
|The Copy feature is used to copy (or clone) all the settings from one ProVu to other ProVu meters in about 20 seconds! The Copy function is a standard feature on all meters. It does not require a communications adapter, only an optional cable assembly, P/N PDA1200. See the ordering information for complete details.
|Field Expansion Modules
|Add functionality to the ProVu in the field with easy-to-install external expansion modules. Add RS-232, RS-485, or USB communications, digital I/O modules (up to 2), and a 4-relay expansion module, for a possible 4 total expansion modules. The menu items for these modules do not appear until the module is connected, simplifying the basic menu. Relay and digital I/O modules are shown with optional DIN rail mounting kit, P/N PDA1002. These expansion modules connect to the ProVu via an M-Link cable which is provided with each expansion module...
|PDA1004 Relay Expansion Module
|An external module containing four 3 A Form A (SPST) relays can be added to the ProVu at anytime. Removable screw terminal blocks accept 12 to 22 AWG wire.
|PDA1044 Digital I/O Expansion Module
|Four digital inputs and four digital outputs are available per expansion module. The PROVU meter will accept two of these modules. External digital inputs can function similarly to the front panel function keys or on-board digital input F4. They can be configured to trigger certain events (i.e. acknowledge/reset alarms, reset max and/or min values, disable / enable all output relays, and hold current relay states), provide direct menu access point, or mimic front panel keys. The I/O module can be used to configure the PROVU remotely, in essence giving the user control of the four front panel push buttons. This feature is particularly useful if the meter is mounted inside an explosion-proof enclosure.
Digital outputs can be used to remotely monitor PROVU's alarm relay output states, or the states of a variety of actions and functions executed by the meter. roVu at anytime. Removable screw terminal blocks accept 12 to 22 AWG wire.
|PDA1232, PDA1485, & PDA8008 Communication Modules
|Serial communications on the ProVu can be added anytime with external PDA1232 (RS-232), PDA1485 (RS-485), or PDA8008 (USB) communication adapters.
Free Modbus protocol with purchase of ProVu serial communications modules. MeterView Pro free monitoring and control software is also available for use with these adapters...
|General Specifications
Monitor and Datalog
|Relay Outputs
|The ProVu has up to four 3 A Form C relays (SPDT) with multiple power loss fail-safe options. Relays can be configured for proper protective action upon input loop break. Relay ON and OFF delay times are user adjustable. Up to eight front panel indicators show alarm and/or relay state. All relays can be configured for 0-100% deadband.
|Relay Operation/Configuration
|There are powerful relay functions that can be configured in the ProVu meter, including: Automatic reset only (non-latching)
|Analog Output
|The isolated analog retransmission signal can be configured to represent the process variable (PV), maximum (peak) value, minimum (valley) value, the value for any of the eight relay set points, or Modbus input. While the output is nominally 4-20 mA, the signal will accurately accommodate under- and over-ranges from 1 to 23 mA.
|Manual Output Control
|Take control of any output with this feature. All relays can be forced ON or OFF, and the 4-20 mA output signal can be set to any value within its range. When the relays and 4-20 mA output are controlled manually, an LED labeled "M" is turned on and the associated Alarm LEDs (1-8) flash every 10 seconds indicating that the meter is in manual control mode.
|Isolated Transmitter Power Supplies
|A powerful 24 V @ 200 mA power supply is a standard feature on the ProVu meter. It can be configured for 5, 10, or 24 V (default) by means of a simple internal jumper (see manual). An additional power supply (24 V @ 40 mA) is standard with the 4-20 mA output option.
|Sampling Function (PV Triggered Timed Relay)
|The sampling function allows the operator to set a set point for a "sampling" relay. When the PV reaches that set point, it will close that relay's contacts for a preset period of time (0.1 to 5999.9 seconds). An example of its use may be for beer/ale fermentation. When the batch reaches a certain pH, the relay contacts would close and by some means (light, horn, etc.) alert someone to take a sample, or provide the trigger to automatically take a sample of the batch. The utility of this function can, of course, be expanded beyond sampling and be used whenever a timed relay output closure is required when the PV reaches a certain set point.
|Interlock Relay(s)
|This function allows a process to use one or more very low voltage input signals or simple switch contacts to control the state of one or more internal "interlock" relays. A violation (i.e. loss of input, open switch, or open circuit) forces one or more N/O interlock relay contacts to open. One input can be used in series with a number of interlock switches, or up to eight inputs can be required to force-on one (or more) internal interlock relays. Please see Application Note AN-1008 on our website for more information. Requires PDA1044 Digital I/O module or use of on-board digital input F4.
Note: Requires PDA1044 Digital I/O module.
|Signal input conditioning
|Non-linear input signals (i.e. weirs & flumes, differential pressure, etc.) can be linearized with the ProVu's simple to use built-in signal input conditioners, such as: square-root extractor, exponential linearizer, horizontal round tank linearizer, or the ProVu's powerful general purpose 32-point linearizer.
Weir Flow Calculated Using Exponential
Math Function
|Round Horizontal Tank Math Function
|Multi-Pump Alternation
|For pump control applications where 2 or more similar pumps are used to control the level of a tank or a well, it is desirable to have the pumps operate alternately; this prevents excessive wear and overheating of one pump over the lack of use of the others. The ProVu can accommodate up to 8 pumps. In the example below, a pair of relays have been set up to alternate every time an on/off pump cycle is completed. Another pair of relays is used for low and high alarms.
Relay #4 turns the main pump on at 6000 gallons and turns it off at 1000 gallons.
With the Pump Alternation feature activated, the next time the level reaches 6000 gallons,
relay #3 transfers and starts the backup pump.
If the backup pump is not able to keep up, and the level reaches 7000 gallons,
relay #4 transfers and starts the main pump as well.
Relay #2 trips the High Level Alarm at 7500 gallons and resets at 6900 gallons.
Relay #1 trips the Low Level Alarm at 495 gallons and resets at 750 gallons.
|NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, and Explosion-Proof Enclosures
|Thermoplastic and stainless steel NEMA 4X, and painted steel NEMA 4 enclosures are available. Also available is the ProtEX-MAX for hazardous area applications requiring explosion-proof enclosures. Used the links below for more information

MILFs don't exist. Not really. There is an entire section of the internet dedicated to these Mothers I'd Like to F*ck (or at least a popular sub-section of a very popular part of the internet), but little evidence of the key characteristic of MILFdom…motherhood. You will almost never see a picture of a MILF caring for her child. In most cases, thankfully. But this omission is not just for, err, pragmatic reasons; the crux of the MILF's hotness is that it's hard to believe she is someone's mother. DILFs, or Dads I'd Like to F*ck, are a newer phenomenon and vastly different. They're sexy because of how affectionate they are with their children. They're desirable because they're parents, not in spite of it.
Apparently very desirable. The Instagram account @dilfs_of_disneyland has over 200,000 followers! These pictures are just normal – well, better looking than normal – dads doing normal dad stuff, like pushing strollers, carrying babies, and posing with their kids and Disney characters. A good number of them seem to have beards and/or tattoos. Maybe it's the juxtaposition of strong men showing their sensitive side that is the turn on. Whatever it is, there is no MILF equivalent on Instagram. A Google search for MILFs will need to be immediately removed from your search history. "Honey, I swear it was research for a blog post!" may work once, but it better be a damn good blog post.
There is one exception. I hesitate to mention it, because it's going to sound creepy. I'm talking about breastfeeding. I can hear you groan, but it must be the case. Why else would breastfeeding make some people so uncomfortable? Because there is something sexually tantalizing about it. Why else would there be any controversy with women posting pictures on Facebook or doing it in public? Breasts are amazing…in so many ways. Even though we all know they're primary functional, we have a hard time not focusing on their form. How many guys saw the picture of Olivia Wilde feeding her newborn and thought: lucky baby! But it's not the act of breastfeeding that makes her Glamour Magazine photo a MILF-pic, it's because OHMYGODISEEABOOBY!!! Just like MILFs are sexy despite the fact that they have kids, breastfeeding is still somehow sexual despite the fact that, well, it just isn't.
Maybe the difference is about expectations. We expect women to be good moms. That's what we're taught women are biologically built for. Not only does the baby literally sprout from your loins, but you ladies then carry his food supply on your chest! If a guy could use his back hair to diaper his newborn, I don't think we'd be too surprised to see him a couple years later walking hand-in-hand with his daughter or giving his son a kiss. It would clearly be something he was genetically designed to do. Unfortunately, back hair is useless (and in no way helps DILF status). We've also gotten so used to the out-dated idea of the idiot dad who is afraid to show any affection, and is there merely to provide financial support for his family, that seeing a man share a tender moment with his children makes you say "awww" and then "uh-huh" (while seductively licking your lips). And, in that moment, you become a MILF…you know, as long as your kid is at school or something.

Advisory Committees
Advisory Committees of the North Dakota Judicial System
In the North Dakota judicial system, a system of committees has been established to develop new ideas and evaluate proposals for improving public services. These advisory committees include citizen members, legislators, lawyers, and judges. The activities of these advisory committees are summarized here:
Joint Procedure Committee
The Joint Procedure Committee is the standing committee of the Supreme Court responsible for proposing adoption, amendment, or repeal of rules of civil procedure, rules of criminal procedure, rules of appellate procedure, rules of evidence, rules of court, and specialized court procedure. Justice Dale V. Sandstrom chairs the Committee. The committee's membership of 10 judges and 10 attorneys is appointed by the Supreme Court, except for one liaison member appointed by the State Bar Association.
The committee recently completed a full review and revision of the rules of appellate procedure. The committee is now beginning work on updating the rules of criminal procedure. The committee has also been working on rule amendments designed to integrate new technologies into court procedure, including expanded use of interactive video in court hearings and electronic filing of court documents.
Judiciary Standards Committee
The Judiciary Standards Committee, chaired by Brian Neugebauer of West Fargo, studies and reviews all rules relating to the supervision of the judiciary, including judicial discipline, judicial ethics, and the judicial nominating process. During 2002, the Committee completed a study of several issues related to the selection of judges and possible methods of establishing a judicial improvement program and submitted a judicial improvement program proposal to the Supreme Court for consideration.
Court Services Administration Committee
The Court Services Administration Committee, chaired by William A. Strutz of Bismarck, is responsible for the study and review of all rules and orders relating to the administrative supervision of the judicial system. During 2002, the Committee continued its study of issues related to pro se litigation in the courts. The Committee developed and submitted to the Supreme Court a proposed policy regarding assistance to self-represented litigants and also submitted a set of forms for use by self-represented litigants in selected court proceedings.
Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee
The Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee, chaired by Judge Ronald Goodman, provides advisory services for judges relating to judicial ethics issues. The Committee has provided all judges with an ethics manual and responds to inquiries by judges on ethics questions. The Committee also documents responses for use by all members of the judiciary.
Jury Standards Committee
The Jury Standards Committee, chaired by Judge Joel D. Medd, studies and oversees the operation of North Dakota's jury system.
Judicial Planning Committee
The Judicial Planning Committee is chaired by Justice William A. Neumann. The Committee continued an evaluation of the judiciary with the objective of making recommendations about how the courts can more effectively provide judicial services in light of many changes affecting the courts. In November 2002, the Committee submitted proposed planning recommendations to the Supreme Court.
North Dakota Legal Counsel for Indigents Commission
The Legal Counsel for Indigents Commission, chaired in 2002 by Judge Debbie Kleven, identifies and reviews issues concerning the operation of the indigent defense contract system. During 2002, the Commission offered its assistance to an interim legislative committee studying possible alternatives to the indigent defense contract system and completed its revision of Indigent Defense Procedures and Guidelines.
Council of Presiding Judges
The Council of Presiding Judges is a policy making body charged with the responsibility to provide uniform and efficient delivery of administrative support to the trial courts. The council consists of the presiding judge of each judicial district and the chief justice of the supreme court as the presiding officer of the council. Duties of the council include the responsibility to develop administrative policies for the trial courts and provide the mechanism to ensure implementation. The Council of Presiding Judges meets at the call of the chair.
Juvenile Policy Board
The Juvenile Policy Board, chaired by Judge Norman Backes, continues to oversee the implementation of Balanced and Restorative Justice.
Under this system, juvenile courts address public safety, accountability of the offender to the victim and society, and the competency development of juveniles who come in contact with the court. Research indicates that courts that "balance" these approaches with juveniles are most effective in reducing juvenile recidivism.
Accountability means holding the offender accountable to their victim and to the community. Accountability to the victim has traditionally meant collecting restitution for the victim. Annually, the juvenile courts collect about $100,000. The ability to collect restitution, enhanced in recent years by the legislature, includes such options as reducing the restitution amount to a judgment when the child turns 18. This keeps the obligation to pay for damages in place for at least ten years. Under Balanced and Restorative Justice, however, the courts attempt to involve the victim more fully.
The courts have contracted with a private provider to hold "juvenile accountability conference". Through these conferences, victims are given the opportunity to face offenders and explain to the offender the true consequences of their actions and to have input on the consequences of their actions. This program has been shown to be very beneficial to victims and to have a serious impact on offenders.
In several communities, the courts, through local funding, have established restitution funds. Under this program, victims are paid damages immediately and the offender pays the restitution back, or completes community service hours equivalent to the damages paid out.
Accountability to the community means repaying the community for harm caused. A principle of restorative justice is that any crime hurts the peace and security of the community and that offenders have an obligation to rectify that harm. In response, all of the courts are involved in community service projects. Statewide, the courts are attempting to establish community service projects which are meaningful to both the community and to the juvenile. For example, the Williston juvenile court established a community garden where offenders plant, weed, and maintain a community garden. The produce is sold with profits going to the local victim restitution fund. The Valley City juvenile court undertook a project to have offenders plant trees and shrubs in the local parks. Much of the value of these programs involves the mentoring relationship of the supervisor.
The Balanced and Restorative Justice model also emphasizes the importance of building on the competency of the offender. That is, most, if not all, offenders need to improve in such skills as decision making and anger management.
The courts have emphasized a program known as "Keys to Innervisions". This program emphasizes that the juvenile accept responsibility for their behavior, understand that they have the power to change their behavior, and provide skills towards changing their behavior.
Community safety also involves controlling the whereabouts of certain offenders while they are in the community. This may mean electronic monitoring, drug and alcohol screening, and face-to-face intensive tracking. At times, it involves removal from the community to a correctional and residential setting.
The North Dakota Supreme Court, through the Juvenile Policy Board, established a Juvenile Drug Court Program. Two pilot courts were established, one in the Northeast judicial district and one in the East Central judicial district. They have been operational since May 1, 2000. Since that time there have been 56 participants and 20 successful graduations.
This is a post petition/post adjudication program with the option of dismissing the petition after the participant successfully completes the program. The program is aimed at intervening in alcohol and/or drug abuse and criminal behavior through intense supervision and participation in recovery services. Each court has a team which consists of a judge, prosecutor, public defender, treatment provider, juvenile court personnel, school representative, and a coordinator. This program is a 9 to 12 month agreement between the juvenile, parents, and drug court. This agreement means that the parents and child will appear weekly, if ordered, in front of the judge. At that time, the judge reviews the progress or lack of progress of the youth. The participants of this program are held accountable for school attendance and grades, employment, drug or alcohol usage, and community and family involvement.
Commission on Judicial Education
The Continuing Judicial Education Commission was established following adoption of Administrative Rule 36 by the Supreme Court. The commission is chaired by Judge Donald L. Jorgensen and is comprised of the chief justice, state and municipal court judges, a representative from the law school, juvenile court and court support staff for the courts of record. The commission develops policies and procedures concerning the implementation of a statewide continuing judicial education program for judges and personnel of the unified judicial system.
The commission was instrumental in the Supreme Court's decision to mandate that all supreme, district and municipal judges, judicial referees and magistrates, and juvenile court directors and court officers receive an identified number of hours of continuing education each biennium.
In 2002, the Commission began implementation of the strategic plan for judicial education. In part, this plan identifies specific long and short-term training needs for all judges and employees of the North Dakota judiciary. The plan will allow the Commission to focus on providing quality education that meets the direct needs of the judiciary and its employees. The plan will be revisited once each biennium to ensure it remains current with the educational needs of the judiciary.
Committee on Tribal and State Court Affairs
The Committee on Tribal and State Court Affairs was established following adoption of Administrative Rule 37 by the Supreme Court and is chaired by District Judge Donovan Foughty. The Committee is comprised of tribal and state court judges, tribal and state court support services representatives, and public members. It is intended to provide a vehicle for expanding awareness about the operation of tribal and state court systems; identifying and discussing issues regarding court practices, procedures, and administration which are of common concern to members of the two court systems; and for cultivating mutual respect for, and cooperation between, tribal and state courts.
Joint Committee on Attorney Standards
The Joint Committee on Attorney Standards was established following adoption of Administrative Rule 38 by the Supreme Court. The Committee, chaired by Alice Senechal of Grand Forks, is comprised of members appointed by the Chief Justice and the Board of Governors of the State Bar Association. During 2002, the Committee continued a study of lawyer diversion and lawyer assistance programs and began a review of the Rules of Professional Conduct in light of recently adopted ABA Model Rules.
Gender Fairness Implementation Committee
The Gender Fairness Implementation Committee, chaired by Justice Mary Muehlen Maring, was established by Supreme Court Administrative Order 7 to oversee implementation of the recommendations of the Supreme Court's Commission on Gender Fairness in the Courts. It is further charged with monitoring the progress of the judicial branch in eliminating gender bias in the courts. During 2002, the Committee supported an application by the Supreme Court for federal STOP grant funds to prepare a domestic violence benchbook for judges, judicial referees, and selected court personnel. The grant was approved and work on the benchbook began in November, 2002.
Court Technology Committee
The Court Technology Committee, chaired by Judge Allan Schmalenberger, is comprised of representatives from the Supreme Court, District Courts, Clerks of Court, and State Court Administrator's Office. The committee is responsible for general oversight and direction of technology for the Judicial Branch.
In 2002, the Unified Court information Systems (UCIS) demonstrated what is perhaps the largest evolutionary change and growth in its history by becoming the single statewide case management system for the North Dakota Judicial Branch. This was achieved by completing the integration of Cass County in November, 2002. This process involved making several enhancements to UCIS and converting and integrating the data from Cass County's previous system.
In addition, the Court Technology Committee authorized adding the remaining 13 counties to UCIS. These counties are expected to be using UCIS by July, 2003.
Dickinson and Devils Lake Municipal Courts were also added and now use UCIS as the case management system for their courts. This brings the total number of municipalities using UCIS to six.
The data sharing capabilities that exist between the State's Attorney Management System (SAMS) and UCIS have been extended so data may still be shared with the two systems residing on separate computers. We continue to work with State's Attorneys and the Attorney General's office on a replacement for SAMS.
The Court Technology Committee continued with the project to provide full text of protection orders to law enforcement. This is a joint venture between the Judicial Branch, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, State Radio Communications, Victim Advocate Groups, and others. This project is expected to be completed in early 2003.
We began working with the North Dakota Highway Patrol on a project to transfer citation data electronically from the North Dakota Highway Patrol's in-car citation system to UCIS. This is an ongoing project, with an expected implementation date in mid-2003.
Access to district court case information is available to other criminal justice related personnel. Currently, web-based access is provided to nearly 200 non-judicial personnel, and UCIS access is provided to approximately 125 non-judicial personnel.
The Court Technology Committee expanded the use of interactive television (ITV) to the Southeast Judicial District. They will be using ITV for mental health proceedings. Cass County is also working towards using ITV between the Cass County jail and the Cass County Courthouse for persons in custody.
Based on requests from the district judges, a web-based interactive child support calculator was developed.
We continue to work with the state's Criminal Justice Information Sharing (CJIS) initiative. This initiative is a joint, multi-branch of government effort to facilitate sharing of criminal justice information.
The technology department's Help Desk provides technical support to all judicial branch employees and clerk of court personnel.
Personnel Policy Board
The Personnel Policy Board was established following adoption of Administrative Policy 106 by the Supreme Court. The board is chaired by Judge Mikal Simonson and is comprised of a supreme court justice, district court judges, supreme court department heads, and employees of the supreme and district courts. The board is tasked with the responsibility of reviewing and implementing the personnel system and developing a salary administration plan for the judiciary. In 2002 the board's primary focus centered around a review of the current pay and classification system. The review will continue through June of 2003.
Trial Court Legal Research Assistance Committee
The Trial Court Legal Research Assistance Committee, chaired by Judge David Nelson, was created in 1999. The committee provides technical assistance and management assistance to trial courts in the state. During 2002, the committee began a review of the Lexis service, our present CALR provider, and looked at a West proposal to offer Westlaw to the district court judges, all in preparation for contract negotiations at the end of the biennium.
Committee on Caseflow Management
The Committee on Caseflow Management, chaired by Judge Allan Schmalenberger, has been established to review district case management plans and practices; to ensure early court intervention and continuous court control over case progress; develop strategies for differentiated case management; creation of realistic and credible trial dates; and the development of strategies to ensure oversight of all court related case events. The Committee of 16 is made up of judges from each judicial district, two bar representatives, court administrative personnel, public defenders, and state's attorneys representatives.
The Committee meets at the call of the chair, but usually quarterly.
Trial Court Operations Committee
A newly created trial court operations committee, chaired by Judge David Nelson, is to develop and maintain a current clerk of court procedures manual; review the operations of various clerk of court operations for consistent application of statutes, rules, and policies; develop and maintain forms for use statewide; and review matters assigned by the Council of Presiding Judges.
This seven member committee, appointed by the chief justice, includes two district judges, two trial court administrative representatives, and three clerks of district court.

Integrated Vulnerability Assessment of Coastal Areas in the Southeast Asia and East Asian Region
|Project Summary
|Vulnerability of coastal areas to sea level rise is driven not only by global environmental changes but likewise by socio-economic development and the ability of affected communities to cope with such changes. As such, the project endeavored to achieve an integrated analysis of the effect of the complex and dynamic social, economic and environmental factors found in the region to the vulnerability of human communities, and their implications for management and governance of coastal systems and adaptation capacities. The project has so far addressed gaps in the knowledge of the vulnerability of Southeast Asian coasts to climate change using modeling and on-the-ground bio-physical and socio-economic evaluations.
Making use of the DINAS-COAST DIVA model (Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment), the project was able to assess vulnerability of coastal sites to the different SRES scenarios. DIVA simulations for sea level rise scenarios showed that site-specific interventions are recommended to mitigate flooding, land loss due to submergence/erosion and preservation of coastal hábitats. These climate-related impacts are also perceived as exacerbating factors in existing coastal issues. At the same time, existing coastal issues makes the coastal area more vulnerable to climate change effects. Using case studies coupled with in-country expert analysis, the most relevant coastal issues were identified and ranked.

Given the present scenario, no matter who you are and what you own, if you're either not on Facebook or have your fan page, you certainly missing on the cool quotient and not to mention a big share of the popular social media marketing. Be it any sector, all top brands have realized this well enough and leaving no stone unturned to use the social media instrument to their maximum benefit. L2 is a New York based organization that tracks social media and online efforts among luxury brands. It has recently published a Facebook IQ report with data from Buddy Media that attempts to answer that question.
The top twelve brands which have their Facebook IQ between 175 and 140 include the following names.
- Clinique
- Audi
- Lexus
- Bare Escentuals
- Benefit
- Bobbi Brown
- Johnnie Walker
- Belvedere
- Tory Burch
- Ferrari
- Lancôme
- Infiniti
Most of the names here belong to the luxury segment. Beauty & Skincare and Automobiles account for as much 10 entries here. All the above brands are hailed as Genius which means they did and benefited to a very good extent out of the fruits of social media. There are lot of distinguishing points between social media and traditional media, with the reach of later being more penetrating and appealing. The ranking here was done by taking into account 4 primary criteria i.e. ize and velocity (how large the brand community is, how fast it's growing); content (types of content, variety, e-commerce integration); engagement (if a brand posts and no one is paying attention…); and integration (no Facebook page should be an island).

Black Gate – Number 11
by John O'Neill
Edited by John O'Neill
Cover Artist: Alessandra Kelley
Review by Sam Tomaino
Black Gate ISBN/ITEM#: 1531-7854
Date: 25 November 2007
Links: Magazine Website / Show Official Info /
This is the second issue of Black Gate that I've read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The magazine excels at "a tale simply told" and all the stories got a Very Good from me.
The issue starts off with "Where Beauty Lies in Wait" by Peadar O Guilin. Darrak is a man living in a kind of matriarchal society like nothing our world could ever have seen. Like any father, he wants his son to have a better life than his. In this world, that is something different from ours. James Enge gives us another story of Morlock the Maker in "The Lawless Hours". Morlock encounters a society constantly on guard against servants of the Boneless One who makes monsters out of their people. He meets a man who has lost his wife and daughter. He helps the man and his sons triumph over the perils of their land in a thrilling, imaginative story. Maria V. Snyder's "A Wizard's Daily Horoscope" is a short piece with a week's worth of horoscopes for a Virgo, a Sagittarius and a Gemini that are really classic archetypes for fairy tales. This one will make you smile.
Martha Wells has written a number of novels featuring wizard hunters Ilias and Gilead. In the last issue, she gave us a short story with this duo. In "Holy Places", she tells us how they met. These stories have been so entertaining that I might have to seek out the novels. "From the Heart of the Earth to the Peaks of the Sky" by Iain Rowan follows directly from "Welcome to the Underworld" in Black Gate #10. Exorcist Dao Shi is on the run from the Emperor's Guard and has been taken to the Underworld of the city of Quishen to hide out. There he finds more dangers and some hints about is own destiny. David Evan Harris's "The Mudslinger" features Dredge, a young wizard who has power only over...mud. He is now the only wizard left to save his people. What can he do?
In "Soulthief" by Ben Wolcott, Garren, an expert thief is hired by a wizard to break into his own tower. Garren is promised great riches but the wizard has not told him everything. We get another brief amusing story in "The Entrance of Bob Into Valhalla" by William I. Lengeman III. Bob Dogoil is a (mostly) ordinary dad whom takes his son on a roller coaster. Then, the harpies attack. Things turn out differently than Bob thought they would, but not bad after all. Last of all, Mark Sumner gives us another tale of the adventurous Mr. Brown in "The Naturalist, Part II: An Incident at Gray's Works". Brown, the soldiers, and a young woman face more danger against "the antriders", with more to follow in Black Gate #13!
If you like good old-fashioned exciting fantasy, the Black Gate is for you!

Asahi Metal Industry Co v. Superior Court Case Brief
Summary of Asahi Metal Industry Co v. Superior Court, Casebook Pgs. 117-123
Procedural Basis: Writ of Certiorari to the Supreme Court of California for its reversal of the Court of Appeal's writ of mandate directing the Superior Court to quash service of summons on cross-complaint for indemnification in action for damages for negligence.
Facts: Gary Zurcher and his wife were in a motorcycle accident that left his wife dead and Gary severely injured. He claimed that the accident was caused when the rear wheel of his motorcycle suddenly lost air and exploded, sending the motorcycle out of control into a tractor. Zurcher filed suit in California where the accident occurred alleging that the tire, tube and sealant of his motorcycle were defective. Zurcher named the tire tube's manufacturer, Cheng Shin, as one of the defendants. Cheng Shin filed a cross-claim for indemnification in the event it was found liable against the other defendants and against Asahi Metal Industry (D), the Japanese manufacturer of the tire tube's valve assembly. Zurcher settled out of court with Cheng Shin and the other defendants, leaving Cheng Shin's cross claim against Asahi as the sole remaining issue to be tried. Asahi argued that California could not exercise jurisdiction over it since it lacked sufficient contacts with the state. Asahi (D) did not do business with California, nor did it import any products into California. Instead, it sold its valve assemblies to Cheng Shin and the valve assemblies were shipped to Taiwan. Asahi (D) claimed that it had never contemplated that it might be subject to suit in California b/c of sales to Cheng Shin in Taiwanbut Cheng Shin claimed that Asahi (D) definitely knew that its products were being sold in California.
Procedural History: The Trial Ct. found that Asahi (D) could be subjected to California's jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals disagreed and ordered the Superior Court to quash service of summons on Asahi (D). The Supreme Court of California overruled the Court of Appeal finding that Asahi's (D) intentional act of putting its products into the "stream of commerce" with the awareness that they might wind up in California was enough to justify California's exercise of jurisdiction. Asahi (D) appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Issue: Is it sufficient, in order to establish minimum contacts with a state, to put a product into the stream of commerce, with the expectation that it will reach the forum state?
Rule: The D must purposely avail himself of the forum by more than just putting a product into the stream of commerce with the expectation that it will reach the forum state, however, such conduct is enough to satisfy the minimum contacts requirement. Once it has been established that minimum contacts exist, the fairness requirement must still be met as well, which will be much harder to do in the case of a non-U.S. resident.
Application: Something more in addition to placing products in the stream of commerce with the forum state is necessary to establish minimum contacts between the D and the forum state. It's not enough that Asahi (D) might have been able to guess that some of his products might eventually find their way into California. Instead, Asahi (D) would have had to perform some act showing that it deliberately intended to take advantage of that state's market or laws. Even if minimum contacts did exist, it would be fundamentally unfair to require Asahi (D) to defend himself there.
Conclusion: Reversed and remanded.
Concurrence: (Brennan, White, Marshall, Blackmun) It is sufficient to establish minimum contacts to show that D has intentionally placed products into the "stream of commerce." Asahi (D) was benefiting from the laws of California and should be held to have the necessary contacts with California to be subjected to its jurisdiction. However, it would be fundamentally unfair and unreasonable to require Asahi (D) to defend this suit in California. Therefore, the court was correct in overturning the judgment of the California Supreme Court.
Concurrence: (Stevens, White, Blackmun) Asahi did have sufficient knowledge that its products were being sold in California and should therefore be held to have had sufficient minimum contacts with that state.
Tutorial Notes: Merely putting product into stream of commerce isn't sufficient. Can't buy something, take it to a different state and sue for it there. Indirect sales like Gray, but different outcome.

Please be very careful buying a flexi lead, I bought this lead for my 10 month old dog who pulls on the lead and doesnt recall well, because he is not good with other dogs we have him muzzled and dont let him off but want his to be able to give him a bit of freedom with the lead extended whilst we are in the wide open space of the park and no other dogs are in his sight. On the first attempt using this lead the lock slipped off and caused him to run into the road getting out of the car! I wasnt sure if it was a one off so carried on using but thought to be on the safe side would use his short lead until I got him safely into the park and would then put him on the flexi lead. This seemed fine and he enjoyed being able to sniff and run whilst the lead was extended. As we came across a narrow path in the park I reeled him in and locked the lead, however we came across another dog so I put him into the sit position holding him by his collar and the handle of the flexi lead but he got stressed and barked anxiously at the other dog passing close to him so I decided to walk him away, but as I did again the lock slipped off by itself and the lead extended! I was holing the handle with one hand and grabbed the tape with my other hand which has caused very painful burns as he charged the other dog and thankfully he was wearing his muzzle as couldnt do any physical damage, fortunately the other dog didnt panic and attack him either. I tried to pull him away but he is very strong, luckily a passer by helped me pull him off the other dog but I am furious that this happened and just to be sure it was definitely a fault with the lead I tested it a third time in the privacy of my own garden and as soon as he pulled to chase a pigeon the lock lipped off and lead extended by itself! I do think flexi leads are good for use in the park if you have a dog that you dont want to let off for various reasons as allows them more freedom than a short lead, but would never use a flexi lead on the pavement again as I dont trust the locks on them and use near a road would be dangerous!

Then you are talking about a different case - not EOPNOTSUPP.[ Although it may be related in that maybe the admin can _force_ a EOPNOTSUPP thing for when he wants to disable any "write barrier implies flush" thing. IOW, we may end up with an _implementation_ detail where we overload a potential QUEUE_FLUSH_EOPNOTSUPP flag with two meanings - either "the driver told me a barrier isn't supported" or "the admin set that same flag by hand to disable barrier-related flush commands". But that's just an implementation detail, of course. We could use two different flags, we could do the flags at different levels, whatever. ]> Using barriers & ordered transactions for these types of devices will > give you a more reliable file system - less fsck time needed and better > data integrity support for the (few?) applications that use fsync > properly.Sure. And it still shouldn't be the filesystem that _requires_ use of it.The user (or low-level driver) may simply know better. The user may know that he trusts the disk more than anything else, and prefers to not actually emit the "FLUSH" command. Again, that's not something that the filesystem should know about, or care about. If the user trusts the disk subsystem and wants the performance, it's the users choice.Even the _driver_ may know better.Knowing the kinds of firmware bugs those drives have, it could even be a driver that simply black-lists certain disks as having known-broken FLUSH commands. We have _CPU's_ that corrupt memory on cache writeback ("wbinvl"), and those things are a lot more tested than most driver firmware is.Do you realize just how buggy some of those flash drives are? Some of them will literally (a) report the wrong size and (b) lock up if you try to read from the last sector. Oops. Do you really expect such crap to even bother to honor some flush command? Good luck with that. They're designed as a floppy replacement.Now, you can tell me that I shouldn't put a reliable filesystem on an el-cheapo flash drive and expect it to work, but I'm sorry, you're wrong. People _are_ supposed to be able to move their data around, and the filesystem shouldn't make judgement calls. If you want judgement calls, call your mom. Not your filesystem.For another example, the driver might be a driver for a high-end battery-backup SCSI RAID controller. It knows that the controller _will_ write things out in the right order even in the case of a crash, but it may also know that the controller _also_ has a way to force a flush to actual hardware.When do you want to force a flush? For hotplug events, for example. Maybe the disks won't be _connected_ any more afterwards - then the battery backup on the controller won't be helping, will it? So there may well be a flush event thing, but it's really up to the admin to decide whether it should be connected to a write barrier thing, or be a separate admin activity.Maybe the admin is extra careful and anal, and decides that he wants to flush to disk platters _despite_ the battery backup. Maybe he doesn't trust the card. Maybe he does. Whatever. The point is that the admin might want to set a driver flag that does the flush or not, adn it's totally not a filesystem issue.See? The filesystem has absolutely _no_place_ deciding these kinds of things. The only thing it can ask for is "please serialize", but what _level_ of serialization is simply not a filesystem decision to make.And that very much includes the level of serialization that says "no serialization what-so-ever, and please go absolutely crazy with your cache". Not your choice.So no, you can't have a pony. Linus

Yes cheating is awful. And so is conviction before a fair trial. I believe every accused person deserves a fair trial under a set of laws that promises to be just and balanced. I don't support public hangings. It is barbaric. Never have and never will. I didn't in the horrendous Nichols and Johnston murder cases though some of my political advisors thought I could improve my voter favorability if I did. I didn't then and I won't now. The eagerness to convict someone cannot take precedence over our demand and respect for the fundamental legal principle that everyone who is charged has a right to a fair trial with competent representation.
Some 50 plus years ago in grade school, I learned about America's judicial systems and principles of law and my parents reinforced these principles throughout my childhood. Frequently Ruth, my mom, said, "everything that glitters isn't gold." Reminding me to think about the circumstances and situation instead of its appearance. My father's life was full of challenges and a spectacular recovery from alcoholism (that is how he described it) and as a Pennsylvania State Court judge he never wavered in his teaching that," under the law everyone in America deserves a fair trial and competent representation. And everyone charged with wrongdoing or a crime is not guilty". These early lessons in discernment stick with me today. My parents still expect me to act according to these principles and to stand up for them as fundamental values in my life.
As hard as it may be to hold true to these principles now——these are precisely the times that test our commitment to our values. I worry about these principles whenever young or poor people are charged with crimes because I know how few legal resources they have to defend themselves and how dogged the prosecution process can be. Even if they are cleared in a court of law, some will face financial ruin. Our system of justice isn't perfect and requires checks and balances to mitigate against its imperfections.
Prosecutors, judges and jurors make mistakes and overreach. The media can too easily slip into business mode reporting only one side of the story or as if ratings, trending and profit matter most.
For those who think it is too dangerous to push back or speak up when we read or hear the horrendous public assaults on APS. You would be right– it is. I know first-hand. Rabid bloggers have come out of the woodwork to attack me, my family and my opinions but few will address the issues I have raised.
How else do we protect our democracy than to demand respect of the principles of fairness and justice even in challenging times? If you agree don't worry about posting on this blog or talking with your neighbors and coworkers, say a prayer for a fair trial for all those charged, say a prayer for every family and child who has been touched by the scandal and say a prayer to calm the public lynching mob mentality that has begun. In times like this, reflection and soul-searching are powerful tools to ground our actions and decision-making.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper softball team wrapped up the 2012 District 2-4A championship with a big win Wednesday night in Española.
Monika Teter threw a five-inning no hitter and was just one batter away from a perfect game as the Hilltoppers thumped the Española Valley Sundevils 11-0.
Los Alamos (16-5 overall, 9-1 in 2-4A) claimed its fourth consecutive district title with the victory and, perhaps more importantly, the district's automatic bid into next month's state tournament. Los Alamos scored five runs in the fourth inning and two more in the fifth to close out the game in about an hour.
"A serious, thought-provoking work of substance, quality and class … 'Shadowlands' speaks of this world as being a prelude for what will follow and how pain is the inverse of joy …" said Jeff Lyons of CBS Radio, describing the British play written by William Nicholson.
Nicholson, a former BBC documentary film producer, has written several award-winning screenplays.
His first work for the stage, "Shadowlands," won the 1990 London Evening Standard Best Play Award. This script is the basis for the 1993 movie featuring Anthony Hopkins and Deborah Winger.

NEW YORK (AP) — The 16-year ratings dominance of NBC's "Today" show, one of television's most epic streaks, has apparently ended.
The Nielsen Co. said Monday that ABC's "Good Morning America" beat NBC's morning show last week by a razor-thin margin of 13,000 viewers — and ABC owes Tim Tebow a hearty thank you.
The "Today" show had won 852 consecutive weeks in the ratings, a streak that began in December 1995 when Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric were the chief anchors.

j-Ancestry Testing
While it can't provide you with your entire family tree or tell you who your ancestors are, DNA testing can:
- Determine if two people are related
- Determine if two people descend from the same ancestor
- Find out if you are related to others with the same surname
- Prove or disprove your family tree research
- Provide clues about your ethnic origin
There are 3 different test options:
Ancestry DNA Testing
(1) YSTR Male Lineage Testing
The Y-STR male lineage test is used to determine whether two or more males are related through their paternal lineage. The Y chromosome is passed from father to son and has a relatively infrequent mutation rate, thus it remains the same through many generations.
(2) X-SV Maternal Lineage Testing
The X-SV maternal lineage test is used to determine whether two or more people are related through their maternal lineage, or if male and/or female children have the same biological mother. The Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation is passed from females to their children and has a relatively infrequent mutation rate, thus it remains the same through many generations. (Males do not pass the X-SV they inherited from their mother to their children).
(3) DNA Ancestry Testing
With our DNA Ancestry test, your DNA profile is going to be compared against hundreds of populations and fourteen anthropological regions whose collective genetic information is known and scientifically validated.
Population Matches: Your DNA is compared against every population in our database. We measure the likelihood that your genetic information is linked with each of those populations and regions, and plot the results on a very high resolution map.
Native Region Matches: Not using any of our "dispersed population" regions, we determine which anthropological native regions you have the strongest links with. While the population match map holds data concerning recent migrations to North America, the Native Region map does not, and can be regarded as a more of a "Deep Roots" match.
Green is the best match, yellow is a good match, and red indicates that no match or a weak match was made. In this set of calculations, we also specify five specific anthropological regions, which are in fact groups of dispersed populations. A dispersed population is one that has migrated from a native land to somewhere in the world.
At this time we have dispersed population data for African-Americans, European-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans and European-Australians.

Just after the news broke that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were getting a divorce, three out of the six major weekly celebrity magazines featured the couple on their covers, resulting in great sales for all three.
"Whenever you see the same person, or couple in this case, on three covers, you expect weekly sales to be down as a result of saturation," one weekly news editor told me. "But the Tom and Katie story is so strong that all three magazines that went with them [on the cover] sold very well -- way above average."
Now that Cruise and Holmes have announced that they reached a divorce settlement in what seems like a new record time, all the weeklies (with the exception of OK, which has an earlier printing deadline) can decide whether to go with the story on the cover once again.
"After seeing last weeks [sales] numbers, I expect at least three of the weeklies will feature Tom and Katie again," one magazine insider told me. "You keep riding a horse until it's dead, and with Tom and Katie, interest in this bizarre marriage and split could last weeks. I know for sure that although the divorce is over, our fascination with Tom and Katie is not over yet."
Currently, Kate Gosselin holds the record for having the most consecutive covers of a weekly magazine, having appeared on the front of Us Weekly for seven consecutive issues -- a record that Katie Holmes might break.

Healthy, Organic & On the Road: A Dilemma
The holiday season really got me thinking about how to maintain a healthy, mostly organic diet while traveling. The traffic down Route I-95 reminded me that I'm not the only one with this challenge.
Sure, you can pack healthy snacks to combat hunger while on the road. But when traffic pile-ups occur, or fatigue sets in, there's no substitute for pulling off the highway and into a restaurant. But where to go? Even those who normally avoid fast food will confess that fast food restaurants can seem like welcome outposts off a major interstate. So it's at these roadside McDonalds, Denny's and Pizza Huts that you will find the bewildered vegetarians and organic foodies, desperately looking for something – anything – healthy to eat. And while some of these fast food restaurants have made great strides in offering healthier options, the food is not organic or locally grown. Sometimes it doesn't even taste fresh!
Following is a listing of the best options I've found for organic on-the-go eating that should be easily accessible from most major interstates. No, they're not perfect – I still dream of Broccoli Heaven, my fantasy roadside snackbar. But they'll do in a pinch! What's been your experience? Leave a comment and share!
Panera Bread – Panera features two kids' menu items with partial organic ingredients – a grilled organic American cheese sandwich and a "Kid's Deli" sandwich, which is organic cheese with your choice of roast beef, ham or turkey. Both items are served with Horizon organic milk* and Horizon squeezable organic yogurt.
Target – Yes, Tar-zhay! The in-store cafes feature a Kids organic mac n' cheese meal, which is served with Horizon squeezable organic yogurt and Horizon organic milk. True confessions: as our local Target overlooks busy railroad tracks, which my 5-year-old son adores, I am a frequent diner at Target. That's how I know that they are often sold out of the squeezable organic yogurt. This poses a problem when the well-meaning clerk asks if my son would like "fruit snacks" instead – as in the high fructose corn syrup, GMO variety. Of course, he would like some of this "special treat" – some GMO corn syrup and sugar to go with his organic meal! Arrggh….
Chipotle – While Chipotle does not have purely organic meals, some of its beans are organic, and its chicken and pork are sourced from non-factory farms. Chipotle also recently announced that it would serve only rBGH-free sour cream at its more than 530 restaurants. For a cool graph that shows where Chipotle's "naturally raised" meats are available nationwide, click here.
* You may have heard of claims that Horizon milk is not truly organic. There were lawsuits filed alleging that the cows were not being treated in accordance with organic standards. However, the suits did not allege that the cows have been treated with growth hormones or antibiotics or fed unnatural substances, as can be the case with conventional milk. Given this, Horizon organic milk is a better choice than the conventional milk available at these fast food outlets.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum so i apologise if this post is not aloud.
I have recently taken over a business that was previously used for screen printing signs and stickers. However I don't have the need for the Screen Printing hand bench / table that I have bought within the deal. I am struggling as to where to advertise it as I don't know much about this industry. Therefore I am hoping somebody may be able to help and give me advise as to where to advertise it.
About the table:
- I have checked the condition it is in and it is used but in good working order and comes with a suction facility.
- Measurements are 69" x 46" .... 76" from back to front, including weights.
If anyone has any advise I would be grateful if you could post it here or message me.
Thank you
