Fuel For My New Mojo
Hello all,
I was reading my owners manual as I prepare for the 2014 summer. Our family just bought a 2012 Moomba Mojo and the manual for my new Mojo and it recommends 89 octane gas. I was talking to other people and they said you can mix and match 87 with 89 octane between fillups and to make sure you put marine stabilizer in the tank each time. I was wondering what people's experience/knowledge on this topic. Would 87 octane gas do considerable harm to the engine? Thank you in advance for any help
As far as the engine is concerned, you need to run the octane rating recommended by the manufacturer or higher, if the recommended octane is not readily available. It is not suggested to run a lower octane then whats recommended, due to the risk of pre-ignition, which if prolonged, can cause internal engine damage. Using a fuel stabilizer with each fill up has absolutely nothing to with the fuels octane rating. A stabilizer is only needed for storage or layup, to help slow the spoiling of the fuel. But, many of these products do offer some fuel system cleaning benefits, and can be used with each fill up. IMO, its a bit overkill. I would consult the manufacture about the specific additive you are looking to use.
Yup, use the manufacturer recommended or higher octane. What is the cost difference between 89 over 87, about a dime a gallon, so 4 bucks more on a 40 gallon fill up? Shouldn't be a budget breaker...Kraig - 2010 Outback V
sure indmar is the same, but pcm lists octane rating, but also 10% ethanol blended fuel is approved so no need to use a stabilizer unless winterizing or not running for a month or so as mla suggests..'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
To expand on sandm's post a little. Even an additive that is formulated to fight the side effects of ethanol, will not change/alter the percentage of ethanol in the fuel. Even with an additive, the ethanol is still corrosive on the fuel system components, and the higher ratios just increase the deterioration. The biggest benefit of an additive that targets ethanol, is to prevent/reduce phase separation when the ethanol blended fuel reaches its saturation point. Under normal conditions and normal use, I would not expect phase separation to occur. It should only occur when the boat is stored and the fuel is left to absorb moisture. if the fuel is being used and replenished with fresh, I dont expect a problem, but regular use of an additive should not cause harm.
ive also read that testing has shown that in many station tanks, the ethanol can be well above the 10%. This is because its added to the fuel at the distribution center/tank-town, before going to the stations. Theres not regulating of the ethanol, and its great for watering down the actual gasoline, make it go further for the refiner. Gas is expensive enough, so it sux to not get what you pay for.
I can't imagine why anybody would ever intentionally not use the gas that is recommended by the manufacturer on a boat like this. My new neighbor recently started surfing with me, and he now brings a 5 gal gas can that he uses in his boat (2000 Malibu sunsetter I believe) to share the love. I didn't even think to ask him at first, but after we put it in I asked him if it was 89 octane. He said no it's 87. Off I went to get a 5 gal can of premium 91 to offset it lol! I also told him he might want to check his manual and see what they say for gas recommendation.
For the pennies in difference per gallon, it's not worth it. Since we all own these types of boats, I know none of us need to fret over $4 per fill up difference.
Speaking of ethanol in the gas...if you were to store the boat over the winter and the ethanol does absorb some moisture, wouldn't the water separator still catch that moisture once the boat is running?Boats previously owned - 2000 Supra Launch, 2003 Outback, 2006 Mobius LSV
what harm will running 87 do ?Hey, Its Moomba time
Its all about the dash - enjoy the dash, as that is your time between the dates

while were at it and somewhat topical, same can be said for running too high octane. engines and plugs are tuned to run at a certain octane and too high octane can end up with gas that is not burning properly when the plug fires.
there's a reason the engines have been calibrated for a certain octane rating. best to stick to that recommendation.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
I only have the option of 87 at 350 a gal or 91 at 5 a gallon. i run 87 almost all year.
These are my findings, when i run 87 in the boat Vs 89, i have no difference in power, I also have no knocking, surging or any other type of issue. I do fill up with our 91 <non ethanol> at the end of the season and use stabil.
Now in my Vette i have found if i run 87 <recommended 91> i have a lot less power when i accelerate.
On my old Monte Carlo SS it also recommended 91 and when i ran something lower i got as much as 3mpg difference and less power.
I'm not in any way saying, recommending or promoting running less then 89 in your boats.
I'm sharing my experience running 87.
I'm sure this has something to do with your Elevation as well, and maybe the quality of fuel you buy.
I just know for me i don't want to spend Marina prices on fuel because my station only buys 2 brands.
I always have to plan to fill my Vette on my way home from work, or too work because i rather pay the 375 for 91 in town that's not Ethanol free.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

CARSON, Calif.—On Sunday, LA Galaxy midfielder Colin Clark will be looking to take on his former club, but he understands that he'll need to improve his sharpness to see the field.
The 29-year-old midfielder joined the Galaxy in the offseason from the Houston Dynamo via the MLS Re-Entry Draft and has made just five appearances for the Galaxy during the 2013 season with four starts. Clark admits that he lost a step in terms of his speed after suffering two ACL tears in 2010 and 2011, but he's confident that he can regain his form with the Galaxy.
"I haven't been completely sharp; I'm just missing bad turnovers in certain areas where we have a good chance at goal. I'm just missing that final pass so it's really about cleaning that up as far as my level of sharpness," Clark told reporters earlier this week. "It's just being all around better. Practice as well as reserve games even the minutes if I get in the first team those have to be sharper."
Although Clark has every reason to be frustrated, the winger is keeping a level head.
"I've had up and downs before," said Clark. "You just have to deal with it and work harder and put in some extra time."

No help yet? This is Pleasanton I know there has to be some really well decorated houses. I was wanting to make a drive by (not shooting) on a few of the top recommended houses on the way home from work tonight. I don't just mean tons of store bought foam tombstones either. Maybe I'll have to wait until Christmas to enjoy people's effort.

It's still in process, but the house on the corner of Kamp Drive and (what is it?) Helen Drive(?)in Mohr Park is always well done with handmade figures, last year the theme was Pirates of the Caribbean. There are decorations outside and you also walk into the garage. When it's done it's always really cool.

Our family always enjoys the Haunted House on Sea Eagle Court off of Shearwater in Birdland. Don't know how much time this family spends putting it together but it is easily a 10-room, separately "themed" house, complete with costumed tour guides. The structure wraps around the exterior of their home...it's awesome!

Ok my review is in on the recomendations...
Based on front yard alone I say it goes
1. Seahawk
2. Singletree
3. Mendenhall
4. Kamp
5. Calle Reynosa
As far as actually visiting on Halloween because of backyard or sideyard decorations it might go
1. Seahawk
2. Calle Reynosa
3. Singletree
4. Kamp
5. Mendenhall
It's all very folk arty and tough to judge. Some have more decorations and some have better but less decorations. Also some seem set up to open garage doors, sideyards and even entire backyards on Hallowwen night. Thanks for the recomendations though, fun little tour.

I don't know if they are going to do it again but the Bowsers at 2426 Tapestry (bernal and 680) create a cool haunted front yard each year. It usually has light and special effects. Its spooktacular.

We went to Sea Eagle Court to see the haunted house. The "witch" who was obviously part of the preparation was not happy we were not neighbors or friends and was quite unwelcoming. She made it clear the fun was only for those they knew. We ended up leaving because we were made to feel so uncomfortable, even though it was clear by the crowd that the people there were more than just neighbors and friends. Too bad she couldn't enjoy screams and laughs by all.

Sorry to hear that last year someone was turned away. All are welcome at the haunted house this and every year. Although they do like to keep it as a low key non advertised gathering of friends old and new. If anyone is ever turned away talk with Dracula he seems to run the place

ORANGE – Authorities on Wednesday enlisted the public's help in finding Orange County's most-wanted bank robbers, who they say are responsible for carrying out nearly two dozen robberies from Fullerton to San Clemente and getting away with thousands of dollars.
The plea came a day after a takeover-style robbery at a U.S. Bank in Santa Ana left customers and employees shaken up. A masked robber armed with a semiautomatic handgun held up the branch in the 2700 block of North Grand Avenue while at least three other men waited outside, FBI agent Chris Gicking said.
"Witnesses said he was waving the gun around and pointing it at everybody inside the bank," Gicking said.
"Definitely, lives could have been lost yesterday, and we'd like to put these guys away before something like that happens," he said after a news conference Wednesday.
While the robber and his accomplices fled, they dropped a mask, a hooded sweatshirt, gloves and about a third of the stolen cash, Gicking said.
The armed robber in the bank was described as a black man in his 20s to 30s, about 6-foot-1 and weighing 185 pounds.
Also topping the list is the Gone Plaid Bandit, credited with at least 10 robberies in Orange County since February 2010.
"You gotta get pretty lucky to do that many robberies and not get caught," Gicking said, adding that the Gone Plaid Bandit has walked away with about $10,000.
He is described as a white man in his 20s, about 5-foot-6, 160 pounds with a thin build and brown hair.
The Count to 30 Bandit has also captured the attention of the Bank Robbery Apprehension Team, composed of Orange County Sheriff's Department deputies and FBI agents. The robber has carried out four takeover-style robberies in Anaheim, Buena Park and Fountain Valley since May 2009. He has been seen with a weapon during each of the robberies.
He is described as a Latino or Asian man in his 20s or 30s, 5-foot-10 to 5-foot-11 and weighing about 170 pounds.
Authorities also want to capture the Iron Man Bandit, who carried out a robbery last month at a Citibank in San Clemente in 35 seconds, Gicking said. The man, who was wearing an Iron Man mask, was carrying a silver revolver and ordered everyone to put their hands on their heads and close their eyes. He demanded cash from the teller and got away with an undisclosed amount.
He is described as a white man, in his mid-20s to 30s, 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall and weighing about 160 pounds. He was seeing fleeing in a white Toyota Tundra.
A man known to law enforcement as the Fuzzy Face Bandit is wanted for bank robberies in Anaheim and Anaheim Hills. At the time of the most recent robbery in January 2011, the man had a thick beard and was described as being in his 30s, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 and 180 to 210 pounds.
Gicking, who has investigated bank robberies for six years, says 80 percent of the robberies are carried out to support drug habits.

Achaea Help Files
Achaea has hundreds of help files to you learn about Achaea. This is a copy of the in-game help file structure. HELP in-game will show you this same menu.
Note: Bardic/Artisanal winners can be seen and entries submitted at: http://www.achaea.com/artbard/ People of Achaea! The Artisanal Fellowship of Scarlatti do invite you all to share the power of your creativity and imagination throughout the land! To honour and acclaim your wisdom and artistry, we have decided to encourage the fine arts by holding occasional writing and visual arts contest. The winner of this competition will be ascribed rank within the artisnal orders in our Fellowship, as well as receiving a healthy reward of the currency known as Credits. Rules ----- Bardic entries must 1 - be original works (literature, history, poetry, or philosophy.) 2 - be in written form. Words only; no recordings. 3 - be distinctly Achaean*, within the proper mythology, culture and worldview. Artistic entries must: 1 - be completely original artistic works, done by you only. This means no clip art, no stock photos, no pre-fab or pre-drawn models, 3d or otherwise. You didn't make it from scratch, you don't use it in your art! 2 - be distinctly Achaean. 3 - not be collages. 4 - cover any Achaean subject (history, portrait, map, etc.) 5 - be black and white, colour, 2d, 3d, whatever. (yes, Alaiea!) Completely Original -------------------- Every part of your piece must be original to qualify. Clip art is not original, even if you fix it up with Photoshop or some similar tool. Stock photos, pre-fab/pre-drawn 3d models, and the like are also not original. For artistic pieces, a written explanation may be beneficial. What if it isn't original? If it's not entirely original work, then the entry is eliminated. You also stand a good chance of experiencing in-game repercussions if plagiarism is detected, up to and including loss of your character. Distinctly Achaean ------------------- - using the name of something Achaean (city, race, etc) is not enough. - creating a work that corresponds in great detail to in-game Achaean descriptions is probably quite enough. (Yes, Gabrar!) We ask - "Does this faithfully depict, in a reasonably detailed manner, an Achaean scene (one not likely to be found elsewhere)?" If yes, then it's very likely to be distinctly Achaean. If the scene could probably have been anywhere, then it's probably not "distinctly Achaean." Just any old warrior will probably not make it. Just adding the name of a city or house doesn't make it uniquely Achaean. Bewinged Atavians with runes on their armour and weapons and tattoos on their bodies, or even acting out Achaean abilities - this is more likely to be convincing. More on "Distinctly Achaean" ---------------------------- This is on a spectrum from - "totally obviously Achaean" (top end), to - "has elements that are likely Achaean" (somewhere in the middle), to - "could really be anywhere: nothing especially Achaean about it" (bottom end). The lower a piece is on this scale, the lower its desirability. Things near the bottom will likely be eliminated, even if high quality. Things near the top will likely win something even with lower quality art. Everywhere else in the spectrum is a judgement call. "Achaean-ness" is weighted in there with quality. Collage ------- If it's a collage, it will probably be eliminated, likely without in-game repercussions. Entry Submission ---------------- All Bardic (written) and Artisanal (visual) entries for the contest must be submitted through the online forms available from: http://www.achaea.com/artbard/. Your character is assumed to have created the work in-role. This character will be the one to receive any forthcoming reward. Regardless of how many characters you play on Achaea, you may only submit ONE entry toward the contest per quarter. The contests will be held once every (RL) three months. The closing date for each contest will be midnight GMT on the last day of the month (judged according to the time the submission is received). Contest results will be announced after the closing date, usually, but not always, within a week or two of the end of the judging period. Formats ------- To submit a Bardic work, you must use the online submission page listed earlier (http://www.achaea.com/artbard/). The system requires you to cut and paste your work into the submission form provided. You can add appropriate formatting after you have pasted your work into the form. Remember to fill out all of the fields on the form, and select 'Review' to indicate that when you're ready to submit it to the judges! Once all of this is done, just click 'Submit'. How To LOSE with your BARDIC Entry - Guaranteed! ------------------------------------------------ Just copy and paste from Microsoft Word. If you have smart quotes anywhere, then you'll be disqualified instantly! Just use notepad, wordpad, or any other text editor. Or use Writer from OpenOffice.Org, which is free and comparable to M$ Word. Or learn how to disable smart quotes in Microsoft Word. Look here: Tools -> Autocorrect Options -> Autoformat As You Type, and then make sure the box is UNchecked that says "Straight Quotes" for "smart quotes".) Artisanal Submissions --------------------- To submit an Artisanal work, you need to use the same submission form. You may submit .jpg, .gif, animated .gif, or Flash formats. The total size of your submission must not exceed 500K. In either case, submitting an entry is a very serious step. When you submit an entry, you are saying: - that you were the original creator of the material, and - that there is no material in your submission that is copyrighted by anyone else. If you submit material that you didn't create yourself, or that has been copyrighted by someone else, your character or characters will be shrubbed. You may also have BROKEN THE LAW: submitting someone else's copyrighted material (or any intellectual property) may be a violation of US and International law. ORIGINAL WORKS ONLY! Rewards ------- There are 3 levels of success in the contest. One winner, up to three creditable runners up, and any number of minor merit awards. A character may only enter once per contest. Success in the contest brings with it the following rewards: Winner : 4 points and 600 credits Runners up : 2 points and 300 credits Merit : 1 point and 150 credits The winning (and runner up) stories will be displayed on the Achaea website shortly after the prizes have been allocated to the characters who won. The names and titles of the winning works will be entered into the Book of Bards in the Hall of Bards in Delos. Each time you hit increments of 4 points in the Artisanal contest, you will gain a new rank in that Order, as well as some credits. That is in addition to the credits you get for being the winner, runner-up, or merit contestant see above). There are 7 ranks. Your current rank is displayed in your HONOURS. The rank titles are as follows: Artisanal: 1 - Associate - 100 credits 2 - Fellow - 200 credits 3 - Master - 300 credits 4 - Artisanal Master - 400 credits 5 - High Master - 500 credits 6 - Laureate - 600 credits 7 - High Laureate - 700 credits Copyright Notice ---------------- All submitted works of whatever nature become the sole property of Iron Realms Entertainment, LLC, with all copyright assigned to Iron Realms Entertainment, LLC. NOTE: The reason for this is that we wish to be eternally free to display winning works on our website. If you still have a problem with this, consider that the only works that will win are ones that have something to do with Achaea, and you couldn't sell those anyway. We don't mind you also posting the art or stories on your website however.


text: On other, other hand, I'm not entirely sure why some fans are so allergic to the M-word that they seem to recoil from the very idea that (gasp!) Starfleet might be quasi-military in nature, as though such a label has cooties or something. Is it because, in their view, it's not "evolved" enough, or sends the wrong message, or just doesn't fit their own cherished notion of what Starfleet ought to be? On a practical level, I'm not sure it matters. Speaking from personal experience, I've managed to write close to two dozen Trek books and stories without ever having to make a big deal over just how "military" Starfleet is or isn't. Why do we HAVE to define it one way or another? Just to make some sort of Statement? Sometimes the Enterprise is defending the Federation from hostile forces. Sometimes its missions are scientific, humanitarian, diplomatic, or personal. It all depends on the story.

National Homes Corporation
List of Deals
A manufacturer of prefabricated housing and buildings, the National Homes Corporation was incorporated in 1940. The company's headquarters were in Lafayette, Indiana. National Homes built prefabricated and modular houses, apartments, mobile classroom units, and mobile homes. It also offered financing and insurance to its buyers.
Prefabricated housing consists of components built in an off-site factory and assembled on the site of the house. Prefabrication made construction speedy: Once a foundation was laid, a house could be erected in two-to-five weeks. In 1948 a two-bedroom National Homes bungalow cost $5,750, with $300 down. In 1971, when the company issued debentures through Kuhn Loeb, a completed house cost $15,000 to $60,000.
The company manufactured its wares at plants in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, New York, Texas, and Virginia. The company's structures were sold both by its own distribution network and by independent dealers. National Homes began constructing modular housing for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 1968.
The company expanded into related businesses in the late 1960s through acquisition or creation of internal subsidiaries. National Homes began building its own housing subdivisions through its subsidiary, National Homes Construction Corporation, founded in 1965. Then in 1968 the company acquired Lago Vista, Inc., and reinvented the company as a subsidiary, National Resort Communities, Inc. Through National Resort Communities, National Homes began selling recreational and retirement homes in separate subdivisions. In subsequent years National Homes continued acquiring similar resort communities and land.
In 1968 National Homes acquired Chicago Steel Erectors, Inc., a company that built steel framework for bridges and industrial buildings. In 1969 the company acquired Charles L. Langs, Inc., a Michigan construction company that built low-rise multifamily housing. The company also bought the mechanical construction firm of Burton Plumbing-Heating Co. 1969.
National Homes had sales of $74.3 million in 1966, with $375,000 in net earnings. By 1970 the company had sales of $178.5 million, with $5.6 million in net earnings, and employed about 5,000 people.

Texas Showdown 2005 - Custom Truck Show - Duel In The Sun
The Action Was Intense At The 2005 Texas Showdown
Three years ago, while working for a large promoter, who was putting on a show in Houston, Darryl Tracy realized the need for an annual gathering in the area. He saw that there was enough interest and certainly enough quality vehicles to support such a show and that by combining the two he could create a killer event that would meet not only the needs for show participants but for vendors and spectators as well. He began the process by finding a location to host such a gathering, and while the Houston area and its surrounding cities provide an unlimited number of options, he chose Sam Houston Race Track as the location for the first Texas Showdown. The track provided ample space and a great location with easy access, along with plenty of room for growth for any future shows. Obviously, he made the right decision, because the show, now in its third year, has increased in numbers for both attendance and registered vehicles, with each year surpassing the one before. Last year's event had such a great turn-out that the decision was made to turn this year's show into a two-day event, rather than just a one-day show.
The really unique thing about this show is that you do not have to attend both days to qualify for the trophies and cash. Your vehicle can be registered either of the two days and still get judged and qualify for your class. This works out great for those folks who for whatever reason cannot make one of the two days. From a spectator point of view, it is unique in the fact that if you attend both days, the vehicles differ from one day to the next, so it is like really attending two separate shows. Cash and trophies are awarded for each class, with First, Second, and Third all getting a piece of the money.
Advertised as bigger, better, and badder, this year's show proved to be every bit of that. While this year's show was a huge event, we predict next year's should simply explode, judging by the sheer number of quality vehicles that were worthy of being photographed for feature articles. In fact, there were so many amazing trucks that, while we normally come well prepared with ample amounts of film and media cards to cover such an event, we found ourselves needing to make a trip to the local electronics store for back-up. A live DJ was on hand both days to pump out the tunes, and at times, some of Houston's upcoming rap groups took to the stage to entertain the huge crowd of spectators. A large number of vendors were available to display their goods for the curious. The Texas Showdown show also had a large number of activities scheduled, such as a burnout contest, a hot dog-eating contest, and a host of other events for all ages.
Plans are being made now for next year's show, so visit the official site at www.texasshowdown.com, to keep posted on next year's date. Mark it on your calendars, and book your hotel rooms as soon as possible, because it is a must-see show!

Sarasota County Libraries Director Sarabeth Kalajian once saw a library in Nova Scotia that shared a building with a post office.
But, Kalajian thinks the most innovative co-located library she has visited was one that shared a building with a laundromat.
Kalajian will get to see the same type of library pioneering in Sarasota County Feb. 19, when the Gulf Gate Library collection debuts at Westfield Sarasota Square Mall.
The new location will open in the 20,000-square-foot space next to JCPenny, and across from an ice-skating rink, Feb. 19, according to a Sarasota County press release.
County commissioners Nov. 13 approved a 25-month lease effective the following month with Sarasota Shoppingtown LLC, the property owner, for the space to temporarily house the Gulf Gate Library collection.
The county will pay $5,400 per month for the space, according to the lease agreement.
The result of the experiment could change the way the county places libraries, Kalajian said during a Jan. 21 phone interview.
"There are a lot of communities that put their libraries in malls," Kalajian said. "There are some really interesting opportunities there."
The permanent library is located in a residential zone abutting a public golf course, so the amount of foot traffic will be greater at the new location.
Non-library users may become users if they pass the new location while shopping at Sarasota Square Mall, or as Kalajian learned after recent inquiries, if they work at mall stores or restaurants.
"It just changes the whole idea of a public library," Kalajian said.
Moving contractors will transplant each row of bookshelves into a transport unit so they can be unloaded at Sarasota Square Mall without interrupting the Dewey Decimal System order.
Though the organizational system will remain intact, longtime Gulf Gate Library patrons may be surprised by the open space and lack of room divisions at the temporary location, which is 1.5 miles from its permanent location.
"It's kind of a fun process to watch," Kalajian said.

text: We did play well yesterday, the big 3 got alot of praise, but I don't think any of them were at their best. Mata has been ill this week, but still managed to decide the game, which is a sign of just how much class he has. I agree about it being strange he doesn't play much for Spain. Silva and Cazorla seem to get more playing time, they're great players, but Mata is the best of the 3 imo. As for missing the Champions League not being huge because of the Abramovich money, i'm not so sure about that one! Cavani and Falcao will be offered £200,000 a week from Madrid, City and Chelsea, being the only club not in the Champions League means we will miss out. Will Lewandowski leave Dortmund for a team not in the Champions League, when he could go to Juventus or Man Utd? These are problems. Same for Mourinho, an open cheque book at PSG and a run at another European Cup, or coming back to Chelsea and a Thursday game away to some Slovakian side? It's an easy choice.

GFCI on NEMA 14-50
GFCI on NEMA 14-50
They say none required (http://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/downloads/universalmobile...), but I don't know if that means you shouldn't. I would contact them to make sure.
The outdoor high power outlets I am familar with, both marinas and RV parks always have a switch associated with the outlet.
Make sure switch is off, connect power cord, then switch on. When disconnecting make sure switch is off.
I'm almost sure you must have a GFCI breaker for an outdoor outlet ... It would be very risky not to because a Child would risk électrocution trying to insert with metallic screw, toy...key In the outlet ...
I agree with @adufort - most codes will require GFCI outlets anywhere water can be present, which includes outdoor outlets. The mobile charger has a GFCI in it, but that won't help you for anything upstream of it (ie, plugging in a plug in the rain).
I installed a GFCI breaker for my 14-50 outdoor outlet. It has not false tripped even a single time during the last 6 weeks of nightly use, including periods of heavy rain. Required or not, I feel better knowing there is extra protection on the line.
A GFCI will protect any outlet that is on the same circuit. Example: There is usually just one in a bathroom with multiple outlets. If there is a GFCI in the mobile charger, it should also protect the outlet at the other end of the charging cable when it is being plugged in. Codes vary in different states and cities. I've lived in a locale where a GFCI in the garage protected several outlets that were outside. Make sure your electrician or contractor is licensed. Specify that the installation complies with the appropriate codes. I'm an electrical engineer. That's what I will do.
Correction. If there is a GFCI in the mobile charger, it protects the charger and passengers by removing power in the car, not the cable or the outlet.
@mallynb - a GFCI will only protect outlets downstream of it. The way it works is by detecting a difference in the current coming back on the neutral from what went out the hot line, so current leaking to ground upstream of the GFCI can't be detected.
When my 14-50 outlet was installed, it was installed without a GFCI.
I called Tesla & was told that the UMC includes a GFCI that will try to automatically re-set after it gets triggered. Automatic re-set could not work if another GFCI in series was tripped.
@ solarpowered
True but it is protecting the charger cable and the car but would not prevent a child getting electrocuted when the UMC is not plugged into the 14-50 outlet .. If the outlet is outside or inside where it can be played with by a child you really should put a GFCI !
The electrician who installed my outdoor NEMA 14-50 installed a dual 50Amp GFCI breaker in the main panel. I think it's a good idea since I get quite a bit of water where this outlet is. The outlet is covered and can actually be locked (but it's plastic, so anyone who is determined can get to the outlet).
I just had my NEMA 14-50 outlet installed on the outside of my house by an electrician and it passed inspection (Oakland, CA) There is a dedicated breaker of course but no GFCI.
I'm with Dahtye on this one. The GFCI protects everything downstream from the breaker. Putting it in the panel would be my preference.
Yep, it's easy. It comes on the circuit breaker. The Electrician just needs to purchase the 50A breaker with the GFCI button and connect it properly.
Can I put a 60 amp breaker on a NEMA14-50 outlet? Using 80% of the 60 amps available would give me about 48 amps through the outlet not exceeding its maximum. Am I missing something?
That probably wouldn't pass code, but it is physically feasible. I'm not sure what the Tesla will do - currently it sets my charge rate to 40A (I cannot increase it), maybe due to the fact that I have the NEMA 14-50 plug on the cable or maybe it has a way to sense the type of breaker - I just haven't tried what you are asking.
Robert, Yes it would not pass code and there would be no benefit as the charge will only go to 40 amp. There is plenty of confusion as to how to get higher charge rates but the easy way to think of it is that unless you have the HPWC or the supercharger the max charge you will get is the 31 mph rate (i.e 40 amp). And it does not matter if you have twin chargers installed or not. Only the HPWC will use the twin chargers.
@Theresa - I understood that if you had a J1772 charger that went higher (the spec goes to 70A), then you could make use of the dual chargers that way.
@Robert22 - The 14-50 plug has a maximum of 40 amps, not 50.
You might think that a 40 amp plug would require only a 40 amp breaker. The thing is, the amp rating on a breaker is only for temporary/momentary loads. If you intend to draw current on a continuous basis, which obviously the Model S will do as it charges, you are only allowed to draw 80% of the momentary current rating through the breaker.
So, if you have a 40 amp breaker you can only draw 32 amps. The logical alternative is instead to install a 50 amp breaker, whose 80% rating matches the 40 amps the rest of the circuit is designed to handle.

(0Day) HP SiteScope SOAP Call loadFileContent Remote Code Execution VulnerabilityZDI-12-177: August 29th, 2012
CVSS Score
Affected Vendors
Affected Products
TippingPoint™ IPS Customer ProtectionTippingPoint IPS customers are protected against this vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 12493. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS:
Vulnerability Details
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of HP SiteScope. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists because HP SiteScope allows unauthenticated SOAP calls to be made to the SiteScope service. One of those calls is loadFileContent() which will return the content of any local file on the server including the configuration files containing password information. This can lead to remote code execution under the context of the current process.
Vendor ResponseHewlett-Packard states:
This vulnerability is being disclosed publicly without a patch in accordance with the ZDI 180 day deadline.
-- Mitigation:
Given the stated purpose of SiteScope, and the nature of the vulnerability, the only salient mitigation strategy is to restrict interaction with the service to trusted machines. Only the clients and servers that have a legitimate procedural relationship with the HP SiteScope service should be permitted to communicate with it. This could be accomplished in a number of ways, most notably with firewall rules/whitelisting. These features are available in the native Windows Firewall, as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725770%28WS.10%29.aspx and numerous other Microsoft Knowledge Base articles.

What a surprise--Palo Alto objecting to having to meet their latest housing allocations and then trying to pass it on to Stanford.
I am sure we will here our mayor, Yoriko, whining that having to build more housing will create too much traffic.

What is the Association of Bay Area Governments? Why can they define how many housing units must be built in Palo Alto? What would be the consequence for not doing this?
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Jul 20, 2007 at 10:11 am
Bill--It is too bad that you have not yet caught on to Yoriko's modus operendi--any time anything is proposed as far as development, business, housing etc, the first thing that we hear from yoriko is concerns about traffic.
Let's not forget her plan, years ago, to turn one of the main arteries in Palo Alto, where she happens to have her home, into a one-lane in each direction street with roundabouts!!! Or remember when Stanford was renovating the stadium she was concerned about too much traffic on Embarcadero 5 saturdays a year!!!
Unfortunately our mayor has myopic vision and cannot looj at long term benefits to anything.

More homes = more people = more diversity = more intra-community multipliers = more challenge to look at growth as a positive thing = opportunities to INNOVATE in order to accommodate growth = a community that continues to thrive, and maiintain dynamism (instead of saying ("no").
It's time to wake up and walk away from the very short-sighted kinds of automatic thinking that accompany fears about development.
I'm waiting to see what happens when the rubber of INNOVATION hits the road, instead of hangingn out talking about itself.
a resident of Midtown
on Jul 20, 2007 at 1:34 pm
I am astonished at the lack of people expressing concern about the traffic situation in Palo Alto. Adding 3,505 more units will do nothing but worsen already grave commuting and road conditions. The units being built on the corner of El Camino and Arastradero are bad enough but another 3,505 seems absurd.
In response to Saarinen, I do not think it is fear of development that plagues our community but blinding optimism. More homes= more diversity? Do you think about how wonderfully diverse our town is when you are stuck in traffic?
a resident of Downtown North
on Jul 20, 2007 at 3:46 pm
Realist, I think about getting our policy-makers - at the regional level (including our own) to INSIST on EFFEICIENT, AFFORDABLE, and ACCESSIBLE mass transit.
Does anyone imagine, for even a moment, that this city will not continue to be under enormous development pressure - as will the rest of Silicon Valley? Anyone imagining that is living in too small a room.
Instead of bemoaning the guaranteed future - i.e. more people, and more houses - how about insisting on ways to meet that future in a way that doesn't cram the results of poor planning that results from LACK of transport infrastructure and other innovation down our throats? btw, educational and other innovations will be needed to deal with new population loads.
We keep hearing about innovation. Where's the beef?
Where are the new ideas for dealing with increased populations, instead of ducking our head in the sand as we repeat the mantra "no new housing".
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jul 20, 2007 at 3:56 pm
Yes of course we can build more homes here in Palo Alto.
What we need to do is look at the big picture, not just the homes.
We will need to put in the types of homes that will be adjacent to amenities. The homes will need to have underground parking, walk ways to facilities like restaurants, train station, convenience stores, etc. They will need parks and entertainment areas. They will need buses to downtown and other areas like the high schools, library and post office. They will need day care centers, schools, and community centers. They will need offices for doctors, dentists, hair salons, delis, nail shops, coffee houses, in fact all the things we use daily.
These things do not happen overnight. They need to be planned. Please do not start building somewhere without getting the infrastructure.
a resident of Fairmeadow
on Jul 20, 2007 at 7:20 pm
Discussions like this seem to assume that additional housing will be built in big new developments, like the one at El Camino and Charleston. How many housing units could be added if zoning could permit one duplex unit per block of current single-family homes? If the new units were spread out enough throughout the city, the local impact of each one should be minimal.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jul 20, 2007 at 7:43 pm
Whereas your idea holds merit, where tell me would there be room for one duplex on each current block. From what I see around town, the monster homes being built are in fact small homes bought by someone with more money than sense (my opinion) which are bulldozed to make way for their mcmansion. Usually, this is private individuals although I expect some are developers.

Yoriko lives on Embarcadero, doesn't she? Of course she's concerned about any increase of traffic on that street.
In her defense, I'll say that the traffic load on Embarcadero does come with particular problems--it's a main artery from the freeway to Stanford and the downtown, but it's almost entirely residential, can't be widened and has three schools on it.
Where would you put 3,000 more housing units? The city's pretty built out.

Ohlone Par--if PA is indeed built out, then where does the city council want Stanford to build the housing that it claims will be needed to handle all the "new workers" from the hospital expansion????

Dear ABAG,
Palo Alto is a city that is already built out - I guess you missed that point completely in your reports.
Please do not consider building Palo Alto any further.
- About to Bag Abag.

Prediction: those homes (and more) are going to be built - near long term. Much of it is going to be infill housing, near mass transport. This IS going to happen, and all the whining in the world is not going to stop it. So, settle down, and find another cause (like makingi sure we demand that regional policy makers provide the mass transport that we deserve, instead of keepingi us in our cars)

ABAG is the Association of Bay Area Gov'ts. It is an appointed
and advisory group which supposedly studies current growth
patterns and reports to the state. Then it sends out criteria to
cities as to what their numbers of additional housing units should be to meet the demand. It is advisory only and has little
power. I imagine it listens to the Builders & Developers State
Assocs. also.

Palo Alto's pretty built out--Stanford is not. Though any large building projects at Stanford will create all sorts of sturm und drang.
Re: infill--yeah, I thought of that, but Palo Alto already has a lot of infill. I just don't see 3,000 new housing units arising out of infill. I mean, I take it these numbers don't include the south Paly projects already approved and underway.
You would need to replace a chunk of single-residency with high-density housing. Where? As for the alternative, can the city really afford to convert more commercial real estate to residential? Yeah, Fry's could be turned into a large apt. complex, but Fry's is a big revenue generator.
This time we're not lying. HONEST! No, really!

The latest album from John Darnielle & co. is an emotionally powerful set of smartly crafted songs centering around social outcasts and recluses, with the setting for most of the songs being various places in Washington state. The acoustic-oriented sound is crisp and clear, with piano, a basic rhythm section and prominent horns fleshing out Darnielle's tales of people struggling with mental illness, drug abuse and just trying to survive. 9/21/2012 - Don Yates

U.S. Private Colleges Face Enrollment Decline
Schools Respond With Cutbacks, Mergers and New Recruitment Strategies
Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala., was founded in 1830. It has graduated governors and admirals. Martin Luther King Jr. praised it for its early efforts at integration in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
None of that august history protected it from plummeting enrollment last year. So, to induce prospective students to consider its $170,000 sticker price for a four-year education, Spring Hill began offering $1,000...

Right oblique strain ends Abad's outing in second
By Brian McTaggart and Clark Goble / MLB.com
Abad retired the first five batters he faced before walking Matt Carpenter. Astros interim manager Tony DeFrancesco and a trainer came out to the mound and made the decision to end Abad's outing.
"He threw the one pitch and I saw him flinching and we went out and checked him and he wasn't ready to go," DeFrancesco said after his team's 6-1 loss.
The trainers told Abad that he would need two to three days to recover.
"I don't feel too much," Abad said. "Just a little bit."
Reliever Fernando Rodriguez went 4 1/3 innings in relief. Rodriguez pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings on Friday in relief of injured starter Edgar Gonzalez.
Second baseman Marwin Gonzalez was taken out of the game in the fourth inning after spraining his left ankle in the second. It's the same ankle that Gonzalez hurt on Aug. 31. He ended up missing a couple weeks and returned to the lineup on Sept. 20.
In the second inning, Gonzalez singled, moved to second base and couldn't score on a single.
"We were hoping his ankle was going to continue to play and finish the season," DeFrancesco said. "I guess after the base hit he might have aggravated it. I thought on the base hit to right field, he wasn't running well and we weren't able to score him from second base early in the game. At that time, we determined he was better off coming out of the game at that time."
Luhnow: Astros 'getting closer' to manager pick
HOUSTON -- Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said Monday the club has narrowed its search for a full-time manager. Luhnow wouldn't say how many candidates remain from among the nine who have already interviewed.
Luhnow, team owner Jim Crane and president George Postolos met at length Monday at Union Station to discuss the options. Former Astros players Craig Biggio and Enos Cabell, who have been part of the interview process, were also in on the meeting.
"We are not at a point of conclusion yet but are getting closer," Luhnow said. "We started with a list of 45, we narrowed it down to a list of nine and we're down to a relatively small number now. We're not down to one yet, but we're getting closer. I do feel like the final group we're considering all have great future potential to be great managers in baseball, so we're excited about the choices we have in front of us."
The known candidates to have interviewed are Rays bench coach Dave Martinez, Red Sox bench coach Tim Bogar, Nationals third base coach Bo Porter and Astros interim manager Tony DeFrancesco. Former Astros catcher Brad Ausmus and former Phillies and Padres manager Larry Bowa have also interviewed but are no longer candidates.
Luhnow wouldn't say if the remaining finalists would be brought back for second interviews.
"We are hoping to move forward and we're excited, and hopefully we get to a successful conclusion relatively soon," he said.
J.D. Martinez to undergo surgery on left hand
HOUSTON -- Astros outfielder J.D. Martinez will have surgery on his left hand on Wednesday and will not play the rest of the season. Doctors say he'll need four to six weeks to recover, which could jeopardize Martinez's chances to play winter ball.
"It's been bothering him for a while," Astros interim manager Tony DeFrancesco said. "They finally shut him down."
Martinez said his left hand has been a nagging problem since the beginning of the season. The pain subsided with ice treatment, so Martinez didn't think much of it. Recently, though, the pain got worse.
When he faced the Pirates' Jeff Locke on Friday, he realized that he couldn't play well with the pain. He struck out in both at-bats against Locke and hasn't played since.
"He was throwing the ball and I couldn't even catch up to it because of the pain," Martinez said. "I just told [DeFrancesco] to take me out."
Doctors examined Martinez's hand and determined he had a small fracture in the hamate bone. The surgery will remove the hook of the hamate bone. The Astros still hope Martinez can play winter ball after rehabilitation, which is fairly common among baseball players.
"Right now, it's kind of up in the air just because they say rehab is about six weeks," Martinez said. "I'm not sure if the [timing] is going to be appropriate."
Martinez hit .241 with 11 homers and 55 RBIs in 395 at-bats this season after hitting .274 with six homers and 35 RBIs in 208 at-bats last season. He refused to blame the down numbers on the injury.
"I don't think that's fair," Martinez said.
Outfielder Justin Maxwell needs six RBIs in the final nine games to capture the team lead. Martinez's 55 RBIs would be the second fewest by a team leader in the National League since 1969, excluding strike seasons. Cleon Jones had a team-leading 52 RBIs for the 1972 Mets.
Astros begin laying groundwork for 2013 Draft
HOUSTON -- The Astros will have the No. 1 pick in the First-Year Player Draft for two years in a row for the first time in club history. And Stanford right-hander Mark Appel is again on their radar.
Appel, a Houston native, was among the players considered worthy of the top pick a year ago, but he slipped to eighth, where he was taken by the Pirates. He didn't sign and returned to Stanford, where he will pitch his senior season next spring.
Astros scouting director Mike Elias said Appel is among four of five players the team is considering at No. 1, though that list that could change.
"I don't have a clear No. 1 in my mind right now and I'd say nobody does," Elias said. "I would say Mark Appel is absolutely back in the mix given what he did last year, the consideration he garnered last year and the serious consideration he had a the top of the Draft. He's back in there, so that strengthens the pool.
"The rest of the pool is pretty diverse. You've got other college players and some high school position players. I don't think there's a high school pitcher yet that has made the case to put himself in that group, sort of like Lucas Giolito did last year right off the bat. So that's probably the one piece that's missing. Historically, that's the one position that doesn't get taken 1-1, so that's not surprising."
The top pick means extra work for Elias and the scouting staff. The Astros will spend a lot of time and resources making sure they get the No. 1 pick right. The area scouts might see a potential No. 1 pick as many as 10 times, while Elias will try to get four or five looks.
"What it means for us we have some big decisions we have a lot of pressure to get it right," he said. "If we look at the history of it, there have been teams that have not seen the benefits of the No. 1 pick you might expect and still have gone on to have successful rebuilds and have come out a successful organization. It's still a major opportunity you're burning if you can't get that pick right."
Worth noting
Third baseman Matt Dominguez was scratched from the lineup prior to Monday's game with a stomach virus. Brandon Laird started in Dominguez's spot on the infield and in the lineup, batting sixth against the Cardinals.

Enhanced Mortar Targeting System (EMTAS)
Focus Area: Offensive Systems
Description: The Enhanced Mortar Targeting System (EMTAS) was rapidly developed to address the critical capability gaps of providing highly accurate and rapid indirect fire 360 degrees from a single firing position using existing U.S. mortar tubes (120mm or 81mm adjusted by mortar tube collar) and ammunition. The EMTAS has an integrated fire control system, which once provided target coordinates, automatically lays the mortar tube within 12 seconds and will provide accuracy with a standard mortar within one percent of range (e.g., rounds fired at target 3,000 meters away will all impact within a 30 meter area).
Project Cost: $11.692M
Project Duration: 22 months
Operational Impact: The first enemy KIA in combat was achieved 18 months after receipt of the paper requirement. The system enhances the speed, accuracy, and reliability of legacy weapons and ammunition. It provides force protection with a graduated kinetic response. It provides the operator with improved accuracy and a reduced collateral damage capability. It provides the enemy lethal consequence and decreases manpower requirements to deliver indirect fire (2-3 operators versus more than 35 in a mortar platoon) for the same capability.
Performers: Elbit and Praevius Group
End Users: United States Special Operations Command and U.S. Army
Deliverable: 10 EMTAS systems have been delivered to Operation Enduring Freedom

Medical Definition of Ossification
Ossification: The process of creating bone, that is of transforming cartilage (or fibrous tissue) into bone.
The human skeleton initially consists largely of cartilage which is relatively soft and is gradually transformed into hard bone during infant and child development.
The verb corresponding to "ossification" is "ossify." Cartilage becomes ossified as it is converted into bone. Bone is osseous tissue. "Os" is a synonym for "bone." The Latin word "os" means "bone" as does the related Greek word "osteon."Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

St. Petersburg and Oakland Could be Sister Cities
4 Comments
I was hoping someone from California would bring that up.
San Jose will be given a gift of $ 1 million dollars by Major League Baseball to help fund and educate the San Jose public to accept a public voting proposal this November.
But it is one of those hting that the general public will have the final say in the actions/move.
But do not forget, three quarters of the MLB ownership also have to approve a locale move…But that might be a formality at this time.
Rays Renegade
Sister cities? I guess anything is possible, but aren't the A's supposedly moving to San Jose?
MY! What a beautiful TROLLEY!!!
This was a great read Double R.
Thought I should provide some Wext Coast trolley action for the masses.
It is just a sampling of how the two Bay Area teams can be joined together in their quest to have new digs and gain a larger fan base in the process. Always fun to look under the covers and see what makes all of us similar instead of promoting our differences.

Hollywood star James Cromwell, from the Academy Award winning film "Babe" joins Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss his latest role: Loud protester at a university board hearing.
Cromwell was recently arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for bursting into a University of Wisconsin-Madison hearing to protest the university's controversial cat experiments. The university claims the experiments are valuable research that aids in their development of cochlear implants that can help the hearing impaired. PETA, however, calls the experiments "useless" and "cruel".
Jane and James Cromwell discuss the experiments, and how they could be harming the cats involved.
For more on this story and other animal rights' issues watch Jane Velez-Mitchell weeknights at 7pm ET on HLN.
For more information on these experiments you can visit PETA
And visit the University of Wisconsin site on animal testing here
The University of Wisconsin provided HLN with this statement:
The information now being disseminated by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and advocates like James Cromwell about research at our university is unsubstantiated and flawed. We have conducted a detailed review of PETA's complaint and can find no evidence to support a single claim the organization makes. Moreover, a lab inspection was conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in response to PETA's complaint and their review found no substance to any of PETA's allegations.
The pictures released by PETA show an animal undergoing surgery to receive cochlear implants. Just like in human surgeries, such procedures are performed under anesthesia and animals receive pain-relieving medication during and after a surgery. After surgery, the cats adapt readily to the implants, which do not cause discomfort or distress. They are healthy and behave normally.
The sound localization research in question has direct clinical relevance for many thousands of people who have dual cochlear implants or hearing aids. This research is especially relevant to young children and significantly improves their quality of life. The work is aimed at a better understanding of how sound arrives at the ear and promises a richer acoustic environment. Contrary to PETA's inflammatory language and misrepresentations, the work was conducted appropriately and humanely in every respect with all of the oversight required by the Animal Welfare Act. We can only conclude that PETA's actions are another in a long series of actions to further its own agenda.
We remain committed to the humane conduct of important biomedical research. We appreciate your willingness to consider all sides of the story before judging our work in light of rhetoric clearly intended to mislead and inflame emotions on the issue of animal-based research.
Finally, please consider showing some of the human context of this research to provide balance to your coverage. These videos are excellent examples of that and would make your report complete and much more accurate.

The Comedy Awards seem an unlikely place to find a host of pop's brightest stars, but The Lonely Island are bringing humor to the charts with the release of second album Turtleneck & Chain on May 10th, featuring a whole host of special guests.
Today Last.fm Trends is looking into the group's scrobbles and tags to see just how popular their laugh tracks are.
Their first release, 2009's Incredibad, has racked up 7,872,473 plays from 228,921 listeners – that's an incredible average of over 34 listens per fan, and it's still these tracks that dominate their six-month charts.
Star turns have always been an important part of the group's appeal, with Justin Timberlake, T-Pain and Julian Casablancas helping them out previously, and there'll be no change there. The new album already promises contributions from Akon, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, plus a returning JT.
Turtleneck & Chain's lead single "I Just Had Sex" has two massive ramp-ups in listenership so far, and should show another after their performance at Sunday's awards. Whilst it has a way to go to match "Like A Boss", signs are good for their new set.
Comedy tag radio on Last.fm has a varied experience to offer, from the absurd to the ridiculous, but The Lonely Island aren't quite at the top: that spot still belongs to Tenacious D's 1,229,306 listeners. Keep an eye on The Lonely Island's Last.fm page to see if their new album can make them comedy kings. Meanwhile, Last.fm Trends brings you the news in scrobbles every weekday.

Credit Unions Should Know True Cost of Derivatives: Video CUTs
NCUA Board Member Michael Fryzel told Credit Union Times that the total cost for the first year of the derivatives program that was finalized on Thursday is approximately $2.6 million.
Fryzel said the industry should know every credit union is paying for the program even if they do not participate.
"I just wanted the industry to know what this program is going to cost in total. The $750,000 is basically the first year cost for outside resourcing of things that may be needed," Fryzel said in a video interview after the monthly NCUA board meeting on Thursday.
He pointed out that the NCUA is devoting six individuals to the program.
"All their related costs is about $1.9 million a year which then takes the program total cost for the first year to approximately $2.6 [million]," Fryzel told Credit Union Times.
"I just wanted the industry to know that whether you are involving in the program or not, all credit unions are going to be paying for it," he added.
Related NCUA Video Interviews:
Risk-Based Proposal Shows NCUA's Independence: Video CUTs
Matz on Risk-Based Capital and Call Report Fines: Video CUTs
Credit Union Times also asked Fryzel why he thinks now is the right time for the agency to propose a risk-based capital rule. NAFCU and CUNA have said that any risk-based capital requirements should come from Congress instead of the NCUA.
"The current 7% leverage capital standard was set by statute in 1998, and it would take an act of the U.S. Congress to change the statute. However, NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz said in July that the recent financial crisis and industry changes have sparked an agency interest in implementing the law with a newer, more flexible, forward-looking approach," said CUNA in advance of Thursday's meeting.
"The omission from Dodd-Frank really doesn't matter a lot when you consider that they need greater capital to continue operating in the financial sector," Fryzel said on Thursday.
"As to whether it should be a legislative fix, we can't wait for Congress to act on everything because Congress is too busy with a lot of other things and this may never happen," he added.
In the video interview, Fryzel also shared the story behind the special tie he was wearing at the NCUA board meeting.
"The designer of this tie is Emily Yang who is the 13-year-old daughter of one of our employees here at the NCUA," he said.
"Emily is not only a very talented individual but she's a cancer survivor," he added.
Fryzel said he wore the tie in honor of Yang, who was recently named an ambassador for Johns Hopkins Hospital.
"It's hard enough to be a kid but then to carry the fact that you have cancer with you and to fight it, they are an inspiration to all of us," he said.

by Tom Krisher
AP Auto Writer
DETROIT (AP) — The auto industry is about to go on a hiring spree as car makers and parts suppliers race to find engineers, technicians and factory workers to build the next generation of vehicles.
The new employees will be part of a larger, busier workforce. From coast to coast, the industry is in top gear. Factories are operating at about 95 percent of capacity, and many are already running three shifts. As a result, some auto and parts companies are doing something they've been reluctant to consider since the recession: Adding floor space and spending millions of dollars on new equipment.
"We're really bumping up against the edge," says Michael Robinet, managing director of IHS Automotive, which forecasts auto production. "So it really is brick-and-mortar time."
The auto industry's stepped-up hiring will help sustain the nation's job growth and help fuel consumer spending. On Friday, the government said U.S. employers added 175,000 jobs in May, roughly the monthly average for the past year and a sign of the economy's resilience.
At 7.6 percent, U.S. unemployment remains well above the 5 percent to 6 percent typical of a healthy economy. Growth is still modest, in part because of higher taxes and government spending cuts that kicked in this year and weak overseas economies. But the housing market is strengthening, and U.S. consumer confidence has reached a five-year high.
The auto industry's outlook is bright. Vehicle sales for 2013 could reach 15.5 million, the highest in six years. To meet that demand, automakers must find more people. Hundreds of companies that make parts for automakers have to hire, too, just to keep up.
"As volume goes up, we will really need to add heads," says Mel Stephens, a spokesman for Lear Corp., which makes automotive seats.
From January through May, automakers and parts companies hired 8,000 workers, a relatively slow rate. But the pace is picking up. The Center for Automotive Research expects the industry to add 35,000 over the full year.
The hiring plans are widespread. Chrysler Group LLC, Honda Motor Co., General Motors Co., Mercedes-Benz and Ford Motor Co. plan to add more than 13,000 people this year.
Large parts companies such as Lear, BorgWarner Inc. and TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. are hiring at factories and research centers. Smaller suppliers are adding jobs as well.
The auto business has helped keep the economy afloat while Americans wait for the rest of the business world to start hiring. Since 2009, 1 in every 4 manufacturing jobs added in the U.S. came in the auto industry, says Daniel Meckstroth, chief economist for the Manufacturers Alliance for Productivity and Innovation, a manufacturing trade group. The auto industry is just under 7 percent of U.S. manufacturing jobs.
Car companies and parts makers created 167,500 jobs from the end of the recession in June 2009 through May. At the same time, U.S. auto sales rose from a low point of 10.4 million in 2009 to an annual rate of more than 15 million so far this year.
Chrysler's comeback gave Jeff Caldwell the confidence to leave a human resources consulting firm. Caldwell joined the company in February as an assembly line supervisor at a Jeep Grand Cherokee factory in Detroit. He supervises 100 workers who build the SUV's chassis.
"I knew Chrysler was moving in the right direction," says Caldwell, 29, who was born in Detroit and always had an interest in cars. "They kind of reinvented themselves, and I really wanted to get in while I could."
