Q. At age 71, my mother was taking medicine for diabetes, high cholesterol and a few other conditions. Her doctor changed her statin drug but didn't modify the dose.
Within a few months, she lost the ability to move from the neck down and was in the hospital going through test after test after test. I started looking into her meds and discovered the reason for her rhabdomyolysis: The effect of the more potent statin was eight times higher than it should have been. This was in part because it interacted with other medications she was on.
She was in the hospital for three months. After she got out, she survived at home for just six more months.
A. Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially fatal reaction in which the muscles break down and the kidneys fail. Older people may be particularly susceptible to such rare but dangerous side effects from statins. We are so sorry to learn that your mother suffered this deadly consequence.
Statin drugs vary in their potency. More powerful statins are generally prescribed at lower doses. Some statins interact with other medications and require dosage adjustment. Lower doses of simvastatin are needed, for example, when people are also taking blood pressure medicines such as amlodipine, diltiazem or verapamil or a heart drug such as amiodarone.

Q. Getting off Cymbalta is challenging but not impossible. I experienced lightheadedness, dizziness and "brain zaps." These felt like being able to hear my eyes move. It sounded like the lightsabers on "Star Wars" - very strange and disconcerting.
The key is to reduce the dosage very, very slowly. Take the capsules apart and begin by removing 5 or 10 of the tiny balls inside. Do this for a week or so, then slowly increase the amount you remove each week or two as you can tolerate it.
Your doctor may not be of any help. Mine wasn't. He instructed me to wean off over a two- to three-week period, and I almost lost my mind. I did it myself for more than a YEAR.
A. We appreciate your detailed description of how you got off Cymbalta (duloxetine). The Food and Drug Administration does not require manufacturers of antidepressants such as citalopram, duloxetine, paroxetine, sertraline or venlafaxine to provide detailed instructions on gradual withdrawal. We think this is a serious oversight, since "discontinuation syndrome" is common and challenging.
Q. I have developed an addiction to crushed ice in the past year. I crave it and consume three to four huge cups of ice a day.
One of my friends said my body must be missing something it needs, and that's what is causing this problem. Do you have any suggestions?
A. The crushed-ice craving you describe falls into the category of pica, seeking and eating a "nonfood substance." Even though ice might be considered food, your level of craving is unusual and probably does signal some deficiency. Ask your doctor to check your iron and zinc levels. Correcting the deficiency usually eliminates the craving.

There's something almost mystical about "doability" in cattle. We all think we know what it is when we see it — steers that keep gaining during a Panhandle snowstorm, cows that maintain body condition through a Dakota blizzard — but what really is doability? How is it objectively measured? Can we predict and select for it? Is it economically important?
These are among the questions that brought producers and researchers from across the U.S., Canada and Australia to a Feed Efficiency Symposium in Kansas City in December 2006, sponsored by the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC) — learn more at www.ansci.cornell.edu/nbcec. NBCEC is an organization of animal breeding researchers at Colorado State University, Cornell University and the University of Georgia whose focus is on genetic evaluation of beef cattle.
"We believe that feed intake measures need to be included in national cattle evaluation," says John Pollak, NBCEC executive director. He says the symposium's goal is to begin to set a national plan, identify existing resources and develop collaborations.
Doability & feed efficiency
Get 70+ beef producers and researchers in one room and you won't find consensus on too many topics. But everyone agreed doability is related to differences in feed efficiency.
Feed efficiency in growing cattle has traditionally been expressed as the feed-to-gain ratio or feed conversion ratio (FCR). FCR is commonly calculated on pens of growing or finishing cattle (total feed delivered to a pen divided by total gain = FCR).
When individual average daily gain (ADG) is computed within a pen of cattle of known sire groups, FCR for sires can be estimated relatively inexpensively. Individual feed intake is estimated using a regression equation accounting for an estimate of requirements for growth or production and body weight maintenance.
"FCR is a commonly reported, gross measure of feed efficiency, but selection for it is related to increased growth and mature weights, and therefore increased maintenance energy requirements," says Denny Crews, University of Alberta professor in livestock genetics and genomics.
Gordon Carstens, Texas A&M University animal scientist, agrees. "Because FCR is highly correlated with postweaning ADG, yearling weight and mature cow size, it isn't very valuable as a selection tool, but residual feed intake (RFI) is more promising."
RFI (also called net feed intake) is the difference between actual individual feed intake and the intake predicted by the regression equation. RFI data is very expensive to collect (equipment alone costs up to $175/head), but the potential returns may be significant.
RFI is moderately heritable (0.35 to 0.45) and has very low or no correlation to growth, reproduction and carcass traits. According to Carstens, "RFI is not correlated to ADG and is less influenced by compensatory gain."
And Crews says, "When we select for RFI, our range in breeding values covers nearly all the variations. I can still find the full spectrum of frame size and ADG." This allows selection for favorable feed efficiency without affecting other selection criteria important to your management and environment.
Feed efficiency in Australia
Feed-intake studies in Australia began with planned matings in 1992 at the Trangie Agricultural Research Station. The first calves were tested for feed intake in 1994.
Despite the station's location at the edge of the Australian Outback, more than 500 producers attended the first major field day in 1995. Though preliminary and not fully validated, the results "blew them away," says Paul Arthur, director of the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute in Camden, New South Wales (Table 1).
"After the field day, the whole concept took off," Arthur says. "We didn't have a history of central performance testing in Australia, but the producers started to demand it — before we had reliable data on heritability, etc. So some aspects of the industry moved ahead of the research."
The result was the development of central test stations, and automatic feeders for collecting individual animal intake data. In 1999, a standards manual (available at www.agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/net-feed-efficiency/nfesm.htm) was first developed with guidelines for testing beef cattle for Net Feed Efficiency to produce certified test records. Based on certified individual animal records from research and industry herds, the first trial estimated breeding values for Net Feed Intake (NFI) were released by Breedplan — the Australian and international beef cattle performance recording and evaluation scheme — in 2002 for Angus and Hereford.
Low and high NFI individuals were selectively mated to produce low and high NFI lines of cattle. The results of these selection studies confirm that selection for increasingly different NFI increases the difference between the low and high lines by 0.25 kg/day annually.
There were no differences between the lines in relation to growth traits (birth, weaning and yearling weights), scrotal circumference, pelvic measurement and linear body measurements. Carcass traits (retail beef yield, carcass fat and shear force) also showed no significant differences.
Similarly, maternal and reproductive traits were not different between the low and high NFI lines. Thus, it appears cattle can be selected for low NFI without sacrificing the high-value traits.
Arthur concludes, "The low RFI cows are likely consuming less feed to achieve the same level of productivity as the high RFI cows. At this stage, it looks very promising that selection for RFI works, and has the potential to reduce costs."
Feed efficiency's role
Dave Nichols, Iowa seedstock producer and NBCEC advisory council chairman, is supportive: "I think this (feed efficiency) is so critical because we have had a paradigm shift in agriculture" as a result of the growth of the ethanol industry on the demand and price for corn.
"We have a couple of options in the cattle business — get serious about feed efficiency and management and the use of byproducts, or else have our conventions in about five years with the lobster fishermen because beef will become a special-occasion-only food. Whatever the cost, we as an industry have to address feed efficiency. The biggest cost we have in raising beef is the feed required for maintenance of the cow," he says.
While cow efficiency wasn't addressed in the Kansas City conference, the cost savings for growing cattle are estimated to be substantial. Australian data from 1995 showed a AU$65/head advantage for bulls fed 120 days (Table 1.) Crews said data on 1,400 Charolais-sired steers in Canada indicated an average feed savings of 390 lbs. between the low and high RFI groups, with no effect on growth, gain or carcass traits.
"This is a big deal," says Scott Moore of King Ranch. "While I can get paid some extra for marketing the right cattle on the right grid, with feed efficiency I get to keep 100% of the improvement."
But not everyone agrees a new emphasis on selection for feed efficiency is warranted. Dorian Garrick, Colorado State University animal scientist, says the often-repeated statement that there's no way to improve efficiency with current EPDs isn't true. He says his work shows focusing on profit rather than biological efficiency using a dollar value index incorporating the current array of EPDs can optimize profit for the producer.
He disputes the contention that the industry must invest in developing an EPD for RFI.
"To me, you want to use all the information you can, not just the little piece that's unexplained by our current predictions (referring to RFI). If we're already doing all the other things right, let's try to fine-tune the last little piece… But, if we're going to invest a huge amount of money on that population to discriminate between differences in RFI, looking at the national industry, there are a whole lot of other activities that will give a much faster and easier return." Those other industry investments, he proposes, should be focused on reproduction, carcass data, animal health and the healthfulness of beef.
Some individual breeders and genetics firms are already working to provide individual feed intake data on yearling bulls. The industry is at a point with feed efficiency similar to when it was searching for good "spread" bulls that would sire low-birthweight calves without sacrificing growth, Nichols says.
"I can't believe for a minute we won't find those outlier bulls, and we've got to get it done," he adds.

have recently taken delivery of 150 Dell Optiplex 3040 PC's all with the same specification.
I am trying to image then using MDT.
Before taking delivery of all the PC's I took a sample of 2 to test with to make sure I could create an image and deploy it. This worked without any problem using Litetouch and a defined sequence. Happy days.
I then took delivery of the remaining PC's and tried to apply the same image. However this fails on every PC I have tried apart from the initial 2 samples and it is driving me crazy. PC spec is identical for all PC's and there is only one W10 cab available from Dell that I am using for drivers.
I get a black screen stating
windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
Status Oxc000001
A required device is not connected or can't be accessed.
This happens as the process seems to be connecting to the Litetouch image so I think it might be a possible NIC issue, even though it does successfully connect to the WDS deployment server.
Any suggestions?
I recommend downloading and running DAP. It can help sort out any driver and firmware related issues on your system

You can download it direct from this link http://downloaddap.org. (This link will open the download page of DAP so you can save a copy to your computer.)
I've disconnected default SSD (Samsung) in order to connect new emty SSD (Transcend). I was in need to clone my laptop's HDD on this new SSD as a transit SATA port, because I've got only one SATA to USB connector, used by laptop's drive. I've successfully cloned my drives, disconnected all new drives, connected default SSD (samsung) and - no OS boot. I've not changed ANY BIOS settings.
Ok. I've a look on BIOS settings, and I see NEW (almost disconnected) SSD (Transcend) as bootable device. And NO Samsung SSD in boot device. Only Transcend which is no more connecned to motherboard. In SATA I see only Samsung SSD connecned, but I don't see it in BOOT section.
I've restored to factory and than to default settings with no effect. Than I've cleared CMOS - no effect. I see disconnected SSD device in BIOS BOOT section. What I'm doing wrong?
I've changed firmware of my BIOS. Downgraded it up ti 1.2.3 version, than upgraded it again. No effect. Old SSD doesn't appear. BUT in Legacy boot disconnected drive is still present. I cannot delete it. cannot change it to connected SSD drive. I guess it's somewhere in Legacy Option ROMS, and must be changed - but there are no options in this BIOS section.

I am using MDT 2013. I've imported the driver pack for the OptiPlex 3040 from Dell for Windows 7 x64. After MDT installs the OS, it reboots into Windows to begin initialization but it never finishes. Instead it reboots again and goes into the Dell Diagnostics utility and runs a test on memory.
After the test runs, it tries to boot into Windows and I end up selecting "last know good config." It finally loads windows but then none of the USB ports work. I have to remote into the pc to manually install the USB and chipset drivers to finish the MDT deployment process. This has happened on multiple machines and is a repeatable process. Is anyone else having this issue?
Did you either manage to resolve this issue? Or did you always have to go through last good config?
I'm trying to get Windows 7 x86 to install on both a OptiPlex 3040 and a Latitude E5570 with no joy. The previous models were fine.

Hi there,
I've got a Dell Optiplex 3040 in my workshop at the moment. The computer seems to turn on: there's a light on the PSU, the HDD indicator flashes, the num lock toggles on and off and the traffic light on the ethernet port is active. However, there's no output from the HDMI port or the display port. The machine only has onboard graphics.
I'm thinking that the onboard graphics are at fault, but I don't have a graphics card that will fit in with the PSU in it's current location.
Any ideas for fixes on this? Thanks in advance!
Did you try a diff monitor and new cable? Hard to solve this without any screen. Which model do you have? Only a couple of model 3040's support a discrete card. If you don't have MT or SFF model you can't install a card.
Supports optional discrete graphics (MT/SFF only): AMD Radeon? R7 350X, AMD Radeon? R5 340X

Optiplex 3040 onboard video out ports = HDMI, DP
A computer HDMI out port cannot up convert to a monitor DP in port via a straight cable. What you bought is designed to do the opposite; down convert a computer DP out to a monitor HDMI in port.
You would need to add an HDMI to DP Active Converter.
Computer HDMI out --> HDMI to HDMI cable --> HDMI in to DP out converter --> DP to DP cable --> Monitor DP in

I tried downloading the standalone installers for them but they fail as well stating that they are "not applicable to this computer". I even downloaded the standalone installer for creator update 1709, which had not yet shown up in the customers Windows Update just see if it would work and it failed with the same message as well. I've uninstalled the antivirus and tried the Windows Update reset procedures outlined on Microsoft support help article 971058 but same issue. Before resorting to reinstalling Windows I was hoping maybe someone here could shed some light on the situation. As a sidenote, all other Windows updates work fine. Its just those 3 that fail.I know this is primarily a hardware forum but I posted here to confirm a claim from a tech who responded to this question when I posted it on Reddit claiming these creator updates were not compatible with these Dells which makes no sense to me.
Thanks in advance,
A general comment. The Windows version you have may be an issue. Its not that its not compatible with Dell, its that some updates will not install on Enterprise versions as they leave it up to the corporate IT department on when/if they want to implement the updates on corporate systems.
Considering you have an OptiPlex (one of Dell's business system lines) this may be the case.

Hello Support Users,
I'm having an issue with the OptiPlex 3040 Intel HD Graphics 530 Driver for Windows 10 Pro. The machine will work fine for awhile then while certain applications like Microsoft Excel are running, the machine will stop working and give the following error:"Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
This machine has 2 monitors so using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter doesn't work, even googling if that works or detects such is almost absent. I'm just letting whoever know it doesn't work with dual monitors on Windows 10 Pro.
I've found this link and installed the following display driver to see if that clears the issue + adjusted some PC settings in "Advanced System Settings" Under This PC : Windows still chooses what to do for visual effects and Virtual Memory is now 4096MB. I've also added the TdrRelay = 10 to the GraphicsDriver section in Registry.
Here is the link that's been suggested and the steps I've taken so far, I did skip the DELL driver and went for the initial Intel Generic Driver instead.
Is anyone else facing this issue with their onboard graphics?

in the past with the optiplex 3020 I was able to connect a VGA monitor even thru the DP, by getting a $10 converter from DP to VGA.
in the 3040 model, they dont work. not a DP-VGA nor does the HDMI-VGA work.
Is there any way for me to get my VGA monitor to work on the 3040 computer? Even just one monitor would help. Or would I have to buy a new monitor with digital connection??
What form factor 3040, mini-tower, small form or micro form?
Do you have an add-in video card or only onboard Intel video? A VGA port was extra-cost option on the 3040.
Have you checked BIOS setup to make sure the video output is set to Auto?

First I want to re-emphasize just how bad Dell support is. I went through something similar with an Optiplex 3020 32-bit video driver for Windows 10. Dell doesn't care about problems. They just wanted a credit card. Here we are again....
There is a problem with the Optiplex 3040 and SSD drives. I have four of them out in the field that will, on occasion, reboot for some reason (has to have something to do with the SSD) and when they reboot it immediately goes in to diagnostics and says there is no hard drive present. The fix is simple. Turn it off and turn it back on and it boots fine but there is obviously some conflict with the Optiplex 3040 and SSD drives.
So... I get in chat with Dell and guess what? They don't care. It isn't their problem. They would be interested if I gave them my credit card info. So I took it a step farther and asked is there was some kind if database with reported issues by model. I was told no! You got to be kidding! Dell gets reports of problems and they don't document it or take it serious???? What a jaw dropper. I know Dell support was horrid, always has been, but this goes beyond horrid!
So Dell is obviously clueless. Any users have issues with the Dell Optiplex 3040 and SSD drives like I am having?

Hi All,
I'm just curious what the maximum number of displays is for this model. I've only got the Intel 530 Graphics no extra AMD or NVidia card.
The reason I'm asking, is I'd like to add one or two USB video adapters, and want to be sure that the 3040 can actually support the additional displays.
From the Features and Design page:"Support for two displays: DisplayPort, HDMI and optional VGA connectivity allows greater visibility of your tasks. "
But I think that's is just referring to the built in video outputs.
We have a number of receipt printers that we've been using via serial cable. With some new software in the future, I've been moving them from serial to USB and have had no issues. We did have to order about 8 new PCs and I can't get the receipt printers to work on any of them. The printer vendor hasn't been very helpful so I'm kind of stuck. I'm installing the printers the exact same way but when I power them on, Windows is saying it can't recognize the USB device and it's showing as Unknown Device in Devices and Printers and Device Manager. All of the PCs, new and old, are Windows 7 x64. The only thing that's different with the new ones may be the USB ports. They're Dell Optiplex 3040 Micro computers that have 2 - USB Charge ports | 1 - USB smart power on port | 3 - USB 3.0 ports. I believer our old PCs all have USB 2.0 ports, which may be the problem. Doing some research, it appears that the 3040's use xHCI on the USB ports which sometimes cause issues with legacy drivers. Is there a way to disable xHCI and see if that's the issue?
XHCI is XTENSIBLE HOST CONTROLLER INTERFACE aka USB 3.0 You cant disable this unless you don't care if NONE of the USB ports work properly. There is no such thing as making USB2 drivers work with USB3 ports. There is also no support for Skylake and 3RD party USB Serial printers and Drivers here on the Dell Site.
Dell makes Special Windows 7 builds for Skylake. There is NO Downgrade Rights for Home Versions of Windows 10 only the PRO versions. And Dell is not obligated to provide you with downgrade media. There is support for windows 7 on newer dells but its not free.
You must install the eXtensible Host Controller Interface drivers for windows 7 as well as the CHIPSET Drivers for windows 7. Skylake Systems are NOT SUPPORTED with windows 7 by microsoft.
Only WINDOWS 10 is supported.
Otherwise you have to find OLDER Dells and use them.
Hello,I have dell OptiPlex 3040 Mini Tower. In the owner's manual it shows that there is on option for SD Card Reader that can be installed in this computer, but I am unable to find any information about it – part number, link, specs or anything else about this card reader on Dell's website. I would like to purchase and install one in my computer, but I cannot figure out how to order this part or accessory. Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.ThanksRead other answers
I would like to replace the PSU on the 3040 MT with an EXTERNAL aftermarket unit. First, I need more power to run a better GPU and multiple drives. Second, I prefer the heat outside the case anyway. I am using the Moddiy 24-pin to 8-pin Dell Mobo adapter cable.
Someone said that the Antec EarthWatts EA-380D Green would NOT power on my computer (actually they said the EarthWatts series would not work) though they failed to elaborate in any way as to why.
According to the specs I can find, there is no reason why it should not work provided the cables are run correctly.
Is there anyone here that can expand on WHY or the EarthWatts series will not work? If it does not work, can someone please recommend a PSU of 400 watts more or less that WILL work. Again, provided the cables are taken care of.
Thanks very much!
I have connected a monitor to the displayport with a DVI converter, and DVI cable and installed a DELL DVI card to the PCI port and connected an other monitor also with DVI cable to this DVI card.
PC does not see the DVI card/monitor. I have tried it with other optiplex 3040 and other DVI card but got same results.
What can be wrong in this configuration?
Thank you
I have a new Optiplex 3040 running Windows 10 and are trying to add a PCIe Parallel port card to it but windows does not recognise the card. I have tried digitus and Unitek ( Y5707 ) with the latest WIndows 10 drivers supplied from China but no go !!
Can anybody help please ?
I'm from Pakistan, recently I've purchased more than 20 dell optiplex 3050 with LCD E1916H. Most probably all the system are doing same issue which discussed above by many users. I connected the LCD with DP cable to CPU, nothing happens wrong until i opened Microsoft excel, watching YouTube video and sometime when switching from one tab to another in browser. On accessing these app, monitor display get disappeared while power continues coming. All the staff are suffering with trouble, plz giveimmediately some solution.
OS: Window 10 pro (64bit)
The culprit seems to be the hardware acceleration enabled in the Intel HD driver. But, I have yet to find a way to disable it universally across the Windows 10 operating system.
For Office software =* Start any Office program* On the File tab, click Options* In the Options dialog box, click Advanced* In the list of available options, add a check to, "Disable hardware graphics acceleration"* Click OK
For all other software, you will need to check into their specific settings.
I am using a Trendnet KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) device to switch between this Optiplex 3040 and an HP PC. Every time I switch back to the Dell I get an error saying USB Device not recognized. I have used this same KVM on several different PCs and it always works fine.
Any suggestions, please?
Thank you.

Hi enbegmsoft,Thanks for posting.The motherboard has three black PCIe x1 slots. The PCIe slots should be fine, if your card is this one: http://dell.to/2h6XoAX, then it is not compatible with Windows 10.Read other 1 answers
Recently i purchased 10unit of Optiplex 3040mt for my office use, after installed win7 32-bit i just can use for a few minutes after that my keyboard and mouse is not responding at all but the light on devices still ON. In the few minute after i boot my window i install the remote software so that i can remotely and install the software and driver, I just install the Graphic, audio,network driver and chipset because normally if mouse it will be install automatically but in this case it is installed as Standard PS/2 Keyboard and Microsoft PS/2 mouse.
Please advice if i need to installed any other driver , because so far i just installed those 4 driver. Thank You
There are 2 chipset drivers for Win 7, 32-bit. Did you install Intel Chipset Device Software and the Intel Management Engine Interface Driver? (And you also need Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for the USB3 ports.)
You can try this:
Open Device Manager and expand list under Human Interface Devices
Double-click each entry and look for a Power Management tab
If it has that tab, click it and the uncheck the box "Allow PC to turn off..."
Reboot when done and see if that solves the problem.
If not, check the Windows Power Options settings to see if Windows is turning the ports off.
EDIT: Since these are PS/2 devices, you may have to look for the Power Management tab under Keyboard and under Mice in Device Manager, instead of under Human Interface Devices in Device Manager.
Recently deployed xx number of OP3040 machines. Obviously WoL is a must. Default BIOS setup does not have it enabled, but using cctk from Dell Client Command Suite makes it easy during SCCM deployment (Win 7 x64)
So I have exported .exe with all required WoL settings (inc deepsleep DISABLE) and BIOS system password set.
Exe runs fine in Task Sequence, all settings get applied, but NOT activated.
At this point I can power off Windows, restart, power off again, WoL is NOT active (yet the deepsleep is definitely set to disable)
All I needed to do on EACH machine:
F2 get to BIOStype password
I did NOT apply anything, I did not make any other changes (just in & out)
Instantly WoL started working correctly
Surely that is a but in either cctk and/or latest BIOS for OP 3040?
Anybody else noticed?
I am not able to find the usb drive when using the system restore disk. If the system boots up it will find the usb just find and fill exists in the root WindowsImageBackup directory on the usb. The system are brand new and 3040 model with windows 7 64 bit. It seems OptiPlex 3020 worked just fine and found the image location but all my 3040 do not find them. I talk with Dell support for 4 hours and they just though it was a bad motherboard...I said I did not think so since all of the pc I have will not find the usb during system restore.
I check the BIOS also legacy is on and rom is on. Boot order hard drive, usb. cd/dvd . I hit f12 at start up and select cd/dvd to boot where my recovery disc is. and opens fine but never sees the usb drive to find my image.
Could I load usb driver from C: drive? If so which one?
Thanks in advance!
I have just configured an Optiplex 3040 for a customer to run Virtual XP machines for his CNC mills.
I upgraded from windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 64 Bit Pro as the replacement CAD/CAM software he is trialling needs this 64 bit OS.
Apart from a lot of research to find out why I couldn't boot from the Windows 10 DVD media to install Windows 10 (not included in the Dell FAQs) everything runs OK. However there is one niggle in that on boot the Numlock doesn't stay on.
I have checked the bios and the relevant setting in the Post section is ticked and the Numlock LED comes on during Post but then goes off as Windows 10 loads. This is not a big problem but rather annoying as the customer uses the numeric keyboard a lot for data entry of measurements.
Is this a bug in the Dell Bios or is it something to do with UEFI?
Many thanks
On some Inspiron models, disabling Fast Startup from inside Windows 10 fixes that problems. So you might try that....
1.Type Control Panel in the search box.
2.Click Control Panel.
3.Click Power Options.
4.Click Choose what the power buttons do.
5.Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
6.Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
7.Click Save changes.
8. Reboot
Hi, I bought an optiplex 3040 Small form factor machine running win7 initially but I restored windows 10 on it. i've had it only 2 days now, but I have detected two problems alarming - I'm trying to find information on whether they are common problems with this model or I have a faulty unit:
1) I have a USB2.0 3.5" HDD dock (with its own power supply) that when connected on any USB port and whaving any HD docked, after a couple minutes will start disconnecting and reconnecting in rapid succession. On other computers the dock is running rock solid stable. I'd worry that it might be my particular 3040, but I've read that Windows 8.1/10 has this issue. The event viewer doesn't show anything abnormal, other than a warning with ID 51: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DRx during a paging operation.
Anybody who could comment on that?
2) I realized that if I try re-connecting the HDMI plug while the machine is on (eg disconnect it and then reconnect it), it will cause the system to instantly reboot - this is reproducible inside windows, inside the bios or while memtest86 is running (booting from a USB thumb). I'm driving a VGA monitor with a small belkin VGA-to-HDMI adapter, and the problem will appear even if the VGA cable is not connected at the other end of the adapter.
My guess is that the HDMI plug when inserted short-circuits the machine. While this is not a huge problem (I could make sure to shutdown the computer before unplugin/pl... Read more
On January 10th a new BIOS update was released for the OptiPlex 3040 which added 'Windows 10 Enterprise support'.
As we run Windows 10 Enterprise on these machines I'd be interested to know what support this BIOS update actually adds and whether we need to spend the time updating the existing machines.
This is mainly a user-to-user forum and only Dell can answer that question.
If your company has an assigned Technical Account Manager, that person may be your best resource.
I guess you could update one of them and see what changes and/or new options are available in BIOS...

Mary Poppins star Dick Van Dyke has wed his longtime make-up artist, who is 46 years his junior.
The 86-year-old actor exchanged vows with Arlene Silver, 40, on Leap Day, according to RumorFix.com.
And Van Dyke has confirmed the happy news, stating, "We're looking forward to a long and happy marriage. (The ceremony was) kinda on the spur of the moment, we just decided Leap Day would be the best time to do it."
He tells the website he met Silver at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2006: "I was in the green room and she passed through and I was bowled over by her beauty."
He then hired her as his make-up artist.
Van Dyke has wed once before, to Margie Willett. They divorced in 1984 after 36 years as husband and wife. The marriage produced four children.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Susan McHale, professor of human development and director of Penn State's Social Science Research Institute, spoke on "Sibling Wars: Why Brothers and Sisters Fight (And What to Do About It!)" at a recent Research Unplugged event in downtown State College. In this video excerpt from her presentation, McHale tells a story about aggression between a brother and sister in order to illustrate the unique nature of sibling relationships that can include both conflict and closeness.
Along with her Penn State colleagues, including senior scientist Mark Feinberg, McHale designed and conducted an intervention program titled the "Siblings Are Special" (or SIBS) project to better understand the connection between sibling relations and behavior in children and identify ways to improve family relationships. The program involved the participation of 174 Pennsylvania families and included games, discussions, reading material, role-playing exercises and art projects, all of which took place during 12 after-school sessions.
McHale and colleagues found that the siblings who were exposed to the program showed more self-control and social confidence, performed better in school, and showed fewer depressive symptoms and other internalizing problems, than the siblings in the control group.
This research has been published in professional journals and has garnered national attention and praise.
Research Unplugged presentations are held from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. on six consecutive Thursdays during the spring and fall semesters in the Schlow Centre Region Library's Downsbrough Community Room in State College. They are free and open to all, with complimentary free refreshments, and are sponsored by Penn State University Relations and the Office of the Vice President for Research, in cooperation with Schlow Centre Region Library.

Many of you reading this probably recognize this lovely lady. You may know her by her blog-land alias, cJane... Her name is actually Courtney Kendrick and she is every bit as sweet and gracious as I had thought that she would be. I started reading cJane Enjoy It, about a year ago. I found Courtney's talent through the talent of her sister and am so glad that I did. Courtney's blog is a realistic portrayal of a woman's life day in and day out. She shares, she reveals and she exposes herself for the world to see. Her ability to write is a gift. Her attention to detail in the order and arrangement of her words is both thought provoking and awe inspiring. She has made me laugh, she has made me cry. If you have not had a chance to meet cJane, today is your lucky day... You are in for a treat.
1. How did you choose the name of your business and or blog?
Way back when (way back when I don't know what) my sister Stephanie created an email address for me and called it cjane. C is for Courtney and Jane is my middle name. I kept it as my online profile, so internetly, I am know as cjane. My blog is called Enjoy It because I started it when I was trying to get pregnant and was NOT enjoying the fact that it wasn't working. If I wrote about the happy moments, the enjoyable moments, I thought I could endure it better. So, "c jane Enjoy It" is the name of my blog.
2. What inspires you?
Innocence, mostly. Also, nature never ceases to inspire me.
3. Favorite day of the week/why?
Thursday, it is the day that brings promises of the weekend. Thursday is deep-breath-almost-there day.
4. Greatest influence?
A Mormon writer named Emma Lou Thayne. I admire everything she pens, even the stuff she has yet to write. I love it already.
5. Earliest childhood memory?
Walking across the street with too tight of jeans on my hips (I think I was five). I've never quite made sense of jeans (I prefer skirts and dresses.)
6. When did you know that you were ready to embark on creating your own business?
I am forever the stay at home wife with a secret life of blogging and emailing. I don't think I'd make much sense of business.
7. When was the last time that you laughed until your belly hurt?
Last Saturday morning my husband and I were in bed. My mother-in-law had gotten up with our 16 month old so we could advantageously sleep in. While they were downstairs playing, our son somehow escaped. He quickly climbed the stairs, jaunted down the hall, and burst open our bedroom door with an excited "HAAAA!" There was a definite sly smile on his face. Like, "I caught you!" (He caught us sleeping in, nothing else, I promise.) We laughed for twenty four hours after the moment.
8. When was the last time that you cried?
When I told my husband I wanted to move to a farm so our children could have a simple life of milking and plowing and darning their socks. I know it will never happen, and that is why I cried.
9. How old were you when you gave birth to your first child?
Thirty one. Thank you very much. In my family of nine, all the women had their first child at 24 or younger. This makes me proud to be an older mommy. Thank you very much (again).
10. Everyday must have?
Quiet time. Me and my brain, alone. No sharing.
11. Most treasured item?
My plastic pink peep toe shoes. I have had them for years, I will have them for eternity. Or however long plastic lasts.
12. Hopes for your future in both business and your personal life?
I want to find a place where motherhood and blogging meet for me. Right now they seem separate and I'd like them to co-exist. I'd like to feel that blogging enhances my mothering and vice-versa.
13. Advise for others who might be contemplating following their dreams?
Don't listen to advice.
(Wait, am I advising?)
(Wait, am I advising?)
14. Chocolate... Dark, Light or white?
Usually dark, but the minute I found out I was pregnant (this time) I could've even smell my drawer full of exotic dark chocolates. These days milk chocolate is my pregnancy sickness redemption. Cadbury milk chocolate. Who needs Zofran?
15. Middle name?
Didn't I already answer that?

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A judge who ordered Casey Anthony back to Florida to serve probation for check fraud stepped down from that case Wednesday and Anthony's lawyer warned she would be in danger if she has to return from an undisclosed location.
Circuit Judge Stan Strickland recused himself from the case two days after signing an order that Anthony had to report for a one-year-probation term. Strickland did not say why he was removing himself, but Anthony's defense lawyers had accused him of prejudice after he gave television interviews about Anthony's acquittal last month in her trial on charges of murdering her child.
Judge Belvin Perry, who presided over Anthony's murder trial, was taking over the probation case.
Anthony has until 10 a.m. Thursday to report to the Orlando probation office, said Gretl Plessinger, a Department of Corrections spokeswoman.
"We are prepared to begin her probation," Plessinger said. "Our goal is to treat her like any other probationer."
Defense attorney Jose Baez told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday he hoped that Anthony will not have to return to Orlando this week and that his team was seeking an immediate hearing for their motions to quash the judge's probation order.
Anthony has vanished from public view since her acquittal by a jury in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. She was convicted of lying to detectives but released from jail because of time served. Baez said bringing Anthony back to Orlando would only add to what he called the "circus-like atmosphere" around her case.
Strickland sentenced Anthony in January 2010 to probation after she pleaded guilty to seven counts of using checks stolen from a friend. The state Department of Corrections had interpreted the sentence to mean that Anthony could serve the probation while she was in jail for her murder trial, but the judge said last week that he intended the probation to be served after her release.
On Monday, Strickland signed a "corrected" version of Anthony's probation order to make clear she was supposed to start the one-year term after her release from jail.
In a motion filed Tuesday, Baez and his team said Anthony already served her probation while in jail and to have her do so again would be double jeopardy. They said Florida law stipulates the judge cannot amend his sentence more than 60 days after it was signed, which was in January 2010.
Her attorneys also argued that Strickland has revealed a prejudice against Anthony in two television interviews he gave after her acquittal last month. They said he is no longer qualified to issue the amended order since he recused himself from Anthony's criminal case and that the amended order was fraudulently filed since there was no court proceeding attended by Anthony or her attorneys.
"This thing is over and done. And for some reason things seem to keep coming up again for no apparent reason, for absolutely no apparent reason, other than let's just keep this thing going, let's just keep this madness going and engage in the circus-like atmosphere that is called the Casey Anthony case," Baez said.
Baez said there were threats against Anthony because of her acquittal and Orange County would have to provide security if she was forced to return. To back up that claim, Anthony's attorneys included a flyer in their motion that showed a doctored photo of Anthony with a bullet mark on her forehead. Text underneath the photo reads in part, "With a forehead that big, the headshot will be easier."
Baez did not say where she was located, only that she was not in Florida when the judge's order was signed Monday.
An inmate can't serve probation while in jail, said Karin Moore, a law professor at Florida A&M College of Law, so Strickland has the ability to correct what he may consider an illegal sentence.
"He can correct an illegal sentence anytime, which he thinks he is doing now," Moore said.

Tell Senators Levin and McCain: We have the tools that we need to fight terrorism!
Great news! U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed to block the controversial defense authorization bill because it calls for indefinite military detention in the United States.
Congress should focus on strengthening established and effective counterterrorism tools, rather than forcing the military to take on law enforcement functions and keeping Guantanamo open as a permanent fixture of second-class justice.
Now, the defense authorization bill is going back to Senators Levin and McCain, chair and ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee respectively, for reconsideration.
Urge Senators Levin and McCain to strip the defense authorization bill of language that calls for indefinite military detention!

Been a while since I chimed in on the Grand Old Glove Forum, Hope all is well in your gloving endeavors.
Thanks to JD I have a possible new addition to the glove collection!! maybe a Gloverster Coup d'etat?? hopefully not a Coupe de'Edsel!
Some one will have to add the ebay pic for me, it is ebay# 151398305946. Yep the fuzzy pic glove that looks like maybe a Collins?? who knows? any guesses guys?? Anyway, it was the first in a long time in my price range and has that "Hidden Potential". Hasn't arrived yet so you all want to have fun guessing??
P.S. For future reference, If you are a farmer/civil war re-enactor, DO NOT buy, using a credit card, on the same day, Fertilizer (i.e. Ammonium Nitrate) 200 gallons of diesel fuel, and 10 pounds of black powder...funny the 100 pounds of dry yeast wasn't noticed????
Hope all the best, and hope I snagged a keeper!?! Anticipation is the fun part!!! Drokester

Brown face in Halloween costumes? Not cool, according to Aziz Ansari, the comedian behind Parks & Recreation's Tom Haverford, the most spot-on, pitch-perfect and hyphen-hyperbole-inducing portrayal of douchebaggery in a generation.
And so, white people, if you want to make a Tom Haverford costume attempt, go on ahead and try to find enough swag to pull it off.

I am pro-choice. I am not pro-murder. What Kermit Gosnell is accused of doing at his abortion clinic in Philadelphia is committing murder.
Prosecutors claim that four babies were killed after botched abortions, that their throats were "snipped" with scissors after they were born alive. Gosnell is also accused of killing a woman who was having an abortion by over-drugging her.
I can't imagine anyone who is pro-choice not being horrified by this story. Anti-abortion activists are incensed by what they claim is the lack of attention by a liberal media that didn't want to cover it because it makes all abortions look bad.
All abortions are sad events which usually leave mothers emotionally conflicted at best. I don't know anyone who is pro-abortion. But being pro-choice is different. It means that a woman should be allowed to do with her own body what she chooses.
However, the space between conception and viability of the fetus is shrinking, and it is something we need to review every few years. When Roe v. Wade was decided by the Supreme Court, the right to abortion was determined by trimesters. But what we know about the fetus during those trimesters has changed considerably with the advance of technology. Today, in the first trimester one can hear the fetus's heart beating and see formed hands and feet.
Our discussion now centers upon technology, not religion, which is how most of those opposed to abortion come to their position. No law should be made that takes into consideration the religious beliefs of a few. Rather, the law should account for the moral beliefs of those of all faiths and no faith.
Still, the question looms: At what point is it no longer morally okay to perform an abortion? This is where it gets murky. I consider third-trimester abortion close to infanticide. A 6-month-old fetus can be born and become a healthy, normal human being. The only caveat is whether a fetus is so severely deformed that it would have no quality of life. These situations are extremely rare and should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Years ago, a friend of mine worked in a hospital where in one ward women were terminating second-trimester pregnancies and in an adjoining ward women were trying to save their second-trimester pregnancies. A nurse who worked in both wards told her that viability was changing every three or four years.
The lines are getting blurrier and blurrier.
I have friends who have had abortions. One was late in the second trimester when she learned that the fetus was horribly deformed. She was traumatized and never had another child. None of the others came away emotionally unscathed, either. But every one would say later that she did not regret her choice.
The problem is the Draconian demands of the anti-abortion movement, whose members insist that life begins at conception. Women who accidentally become pregnant and want to terminate, particularly unmarried girls not prepared to be good parents, should be allowed to make that choice for themselves, certainly during the first trimester of their pregnancy.
But it's important to contemplate, too, that there will come a day when a very young fetus can be transferred from the mother's body into another woman or an incubator and brought to term. There will come a day when a fetus of 15 weeks can be saved. What will these issues do to our laws?
Hopefully, one day there will be tests that will be able to tell prospective parents everything they need to know about a fetus within the first few weeks of pregnancy so they can make their choices in good conscience.
It would be wonderful if we could find a way to prevent unwanted pregnancies altogether. Birth control is clearly the answer, but there are those of certain religions who want to impose their views against contraception upon others.
We have got to find a way to deal with this evolving moral crisis. Otherwise, as technology advances and the public becomes more and more uneasy about abortions, we could end up where we started: with women having back-alley abortions in unsanitary clinics like the one being described in the trial of Kermit Gosnell.

Ph.D. Program in Supply Chain Management
Program Overview
A supply chain consists of suppliers/vendors, manufacturers, distributors and retailers interconnected by transportation, information and financial infrastructure with an objective of providing value to the end consumer in terms of products and services, and for each channel participant to garner a profit in doing so. A supply chain also requires financial and information flows between channel members. Managing all these flows effectively and efficiently requires a systems approach to successfully identify, analyze and coordinate the interactions among the entities. Integrated management of these flows given the often-conflicting objectives of the channel members and the continuously evolving dynamic structure is the main focus of supply chain management (SCM) and includes core areas of logistics, operations, supply and distribution management.
Our PhD program in SCM is a full-time residential program that is designed to train students for academic faculty positions at leading universities worldwide upon graduation. After degree completion, students will have developed capability to recognize supply chain research problems that are managerially relevant, analyze them in a scholarly way and provide solutions for addressing them. This training is accomplished through the doctoral seminars, research methodology courses that students take and successful completion of research projects and a dissertation while in the program. Students are also trained on how to teach by serving as instructional/teaching assistants and course instructors.

Force-speed characteristics of linear piezoelectric traveling wave motor
Simscape / Electrical / Electromechanical / Mechatronic Actuators
The Piezo Linear Actuator block represents the force-speed characteristics of a linear piezoelectric traveling wave motor. The block represents the force-speed relationship of the motor at a level that is suitable for system-level modeling. To simulate the motor, the block uses the following models:
The motor is unpowered when the physical signal input v is zero. This corresponds to applying zero RMS volts to the motor. In this scenario, the block models the motor using the following elements:
A mass whose value is the Plunger mass parameter value.
A friction whose characteristics you specify using the parameter values in the Motor-Off Friction tab.
The block uses a Simscape™ Translational Friction block to model the friction component. For detailed information about the friction model, see the Translational Friction block reference page.
When the motor is active, Piezo Linear Actuator block represents the motor characteristics using the following equivalent circuit model.
In the preceding figure:
The AC voltage source represents the block's physical signal input of frequency f and magnitude v.
The resistor R provides the main electrical and mechanical damping term.
The inductor L represents the rotor vibration inertia.
The capacitor C represents the piezo crystal stiffness.
The capacitor Cp represents the phase capacitance. This is the electrical capacitance associated with each of the two motor phases.
The force constant kf relates the RMS current i to the resulting mechanical force.
The quadratic mechanical damping term, , shapes the force-speed curve predominantly at speeds close to maximum RPM. is the linear speed.
The term represents the plunger inertia.
At model initialization, the block calculates the model parameters R, L, C, kt and λ to ensure that the steady-state force-speed curve matches the values for the following user-specified parameters:
Rated force
Rated speed
No-load maximum speed
Maximum (stall) force
These parameter values are defined for the Rated RMS voltage and Motor natural frequency (or rated frequency) parameter values.
The quadratic mechanical damping term produces a quadratic force-speed curve. Piezoelectric motors force-speed curves can typically be approximated more accurately using a quadratic function than a linear one because the force-speed gradient becomes steeper as the motor approaches the maximum speed.
If the plunger mass M is not specified on the datasheet, you can select a value that provides a good match to the quoted response time. The response time is often defined as the time for the rotor to reach maximum speed when starting from rest, under no-load conditions.
The quality factor that you specify using the Resonance quality factor parameter relates to the equivalent circuit model parameters as follows:
This term is not usually provided on a datasheet. You can calculate its value by matching the sensitivity of force to driving frequency.
To reverse the motor direction of operation, make the physical signal input v negative.
When the motor is powered, the model is valid only between zero and maximum speed, for the following reasons:
Datasheets do not provide information for operation outside of normal range.
Piezoelectric motors are not designed to operate in the powered braking and generating regions.
The block behaves as follows outside the valid operating region:
Below zero speed, the model maintains a constant force with a zero speed value. The zero speed value is the Maximum (stall) force parameter value if the RMS input voltage equals the Rated RMS voltage parameter value, and the frequency input equals the Motor natural frequency parameter value.
Above maximum speed, the model produces the negative force predicted by the equivalent circuit model, but limits the absolute value of the force to the zero-speed maximum force.
The force-speed characteristics are most representative when operating the model close to the rated voltage and resonant frequency.
Physical signal input value specifying the motor driving frequency in Hz.
Physical signal input magnitude specifying the RMS supply voltage, and
sign specifying the direction of rotation. If
v is
positive, then a positive force acts from port C to
port R.
Physical signal output value that is the RMS phase current.
Physical signal output value that is the linear speed of the rotor.
Mechanical translational conserving port.
Mechanical translational conserving port.
Frequency at which the piezoelectric crystal naturally resonates. For
most applications, set the input signal at port
f to
this frequency. To slow down the motor, for example in a closed-loop
speed control, use a frequency slightly less than the motor natural
frequency. The default value is
92 kHz.
Voltage at which the motor is designed to operate. The default value
Force the motor delivers at the rated RMS voltage. The default value
Motor speed when the motor drives a load at the rated force. The
default value is
50 mm/s.
Motor speed when driving no load and powered at the rated voltage and
driving frequency. The default value is
Maximum force the motor delivers when actively driving a load and
powered at the rated voltage and frequency. The default value is
The Holding force parameter value, the load force the motor holds when stationary, may be greater than the Maximum (stall) force parameter value.
Quality factor Q that specifies how force varies as
a function of driving frequency. Increasing the quality factor results
in a much more rapid decrease in force as driving frequency is moved
away from the natural frequency. The default value is
Electrical capacitance associated with each of the two motor phases.
The default value is
5 nF.
Mass of the moving part of the motor. The default value is
0.3 g.
Rotor speed at the start of the simulation. The default value is
0 mm/s.
The sum of the Coulomb and the static frictions. It must be greater
than or equal to the Coulomb friction force
parameter value. The default value is
The friction that opposes rotation with a constant force at any
velocity. The default value is
Proportionality coefficient between the friction force and the
relative velocity. The parameter value must be greater than or equal to
zero. The default value is
1e-05 s*N/mm.
The parameter sets the coefficient value that is used to approximate
the transition between the static and the Coulomb frictions. For
detailed information about the coefficient,
cv, see the
Translational Friction
block reference page. The default value is
The parameter sets the small vicinity near zero velocity, within which
friction force is considered to be linearly proportional to the relative
velocity. MathWorks recommends that you use values between
1e-6 and
1e-4 mm/s. The
default value is
0.1 mm/s.

The following is from the Oct. 16 City Council meeting. All council members were present.
The public is allowed to speak on any subject not on the agenda. Speakers generally are limited to three minutes, but the time can be adjusted by the council.
•Kathryn Doe asked why she was not selected to serve on the Housing and Human Services Committee after six attempts. Doe said she was running for City Council as a write-in candidate. However, she failed to qualify according to the Registrar of Voters process.
•Bruce Hopping said the late Dr. Eugene Atherton was a patriot for attending to people who could not afford medical treatment. He would like the Laguna Beach Community Clinic to be dedicated to Atherton for his years of devoted involvement with the clinic.
Hopping also said there was a large bump on Coast Highway near Emerald Bay that needed repair and reiterated his position that education and building self-esteem in young people works better than the War on Drugs.
"Prohibition didn't stop alcohol use," he said.
•Laguna Beach Community Coalition member Christy Cornwall announced that information on the prevention of alcohol and drug abuse by minors and ways to keep them safe may be found on the coalition's website: https://www.keepourkidssafer.org.
•Tijana Hamilton said she was the only Laguna Beach resident that attended the Community Coalition meeting regarding the social host ordinance, which is scheduled to be heard by the City Council at its Nov. 6 meeting.
Hamilton does not favor the proposed ordinance and said more community input is needed and urged the council to look at the repercussions of the proposed ordinance as well as the benefits.
She said the Community Coalition's brochure provided good information on the subject, and more information on underage drinking and the law could be found on the website, https://www.socialhostlaw.com.
Council members and staff report on events they have attended, people with whom they have met and other items of public interest.
•City Water Quality Director David Shissler introduced the new Senior Water Quality Analyst, Tracy Ingebrigtsen, who has replaced Will Holoman.
Ingebrigtsen, who is originally from Ohio, earned her bachelor's degree from UC Davis and worked for Stanford University for 15 years.
She has been working in Laguna for about two months.
"I couldn't be happier," Shissler said.
•Councilwoman Elizabeth Pearson announced that painters from all over the country came to Laguna to participate in the nationally acclaimed annual Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational.
Events included the Collectors' Soiree Gala on Saturday at the Laguna Art Museum, which featured paintings that were created during the invitational for sale and an awards ceremony. The event was a joint venture of Laguna Art Museum and the association.
•Mayor Pro Tem Verna Rollinger announced that she and Mayor Jane Egly had survived the candidate forums to date — with one to go.
Furthermore, she said, she, Councilwoman Toni Iseman and Mayor Jane Egly had also survived the first weekend of "Lagunatics."
Rollinger showed up for the meeting wearing a turquoise silk cape, a costume for the show. Iseman donned hers during the meeting.
•Iseman said the word on the street was that the 2012 show was the best-ever "Lagunatics."
On a more serious note, Iseman announced she had recently attended two meetings related to San Onofre. She said the nuclear power plant not only has the worst problems in the country, they are the worst by 10-fold.
•Egly reported that she and Iseman had the pleasure of cutting the ribbon for Laguna's only radio station, KX93.5. She wished the station luck and encouraged everyone to turn on KX93.5 to receive local information and music.
Egly announced the retirement of Mike Dunbar, manager of the South Coast Water District.
Consent calendar items are approved unanimously in one motion unless a member of the City Council, staff, or public "pulls" the item, which then requires opening it for public comment and a separate vote.
Among the items approved unanimously:
•Denial of three claims filed by Leonard J. Porto lll.
Porto claimed he had been harassed three times by Laguna Beach police between May 13 and Sept. 1. He also claimed the city was guilty of multiple violations of the California Public Records Act. He is asking for statutory, punitive, compensatory and special damages as a court of law deems fair and just.
Porto stated his age was none of the city's business on the form.
•Acceptance of the California Energy Commission, Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Funding of $16,272 to be used to retrofit approximately 77 fluorescent light fixtures in at least 14 sewer lift stations.
•A grant application for $25,000 to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, Ernest F. Hollings Ocean Awareness Trust Fund for an 18-month Marine Protected Area outreach and tide pool education program.
The foundation is seeking proposals to increase ocean awareness and to promote action for ocean conservation — innovative programs that engage the public in compelling stewardship issues and more effective and focused action that benefits humans and the sea, according to Marne Safety Chief Kevin Snow.
Laguna would use the grant to augment Tidepool Educator hours, solicit assistance in evaluating and updating the Tidepool Education Program and to purchase tools to implement the program.
Matching funds are required from the city.
Pulled for discussion:
•A $315,956 contract with Golden State Constructors for construction of the Broadway Streetscape Improvements project; and approval of related expenses, not to exceed $85,000.
Seventy-four percent of the $450,000 budget is covered by a Federal Transportation Enhancement grant approved 5-0.
The project includes decorative pedestrian walkways, landscaping and the reconfigured intersection at Cliff Drive. Funding for public art is not included in the construction contract.
•Report summarizing the city's use of natural gas, water, electricity and fuel.
Staff reviewed thousands of bills from January 2008 to December 2011 to conclude the city spends about $1.6 million a year on natural gas, water electricity and fuel, which includes gasoline, propane and diesel. The data was then separated by city facility and summarized in 38 bar graphs.
Graphs and associated data will help to identify usage trends at city facilities and facilities where energy efficiency could be maximized, to establish a usage baseline and to track cost savings from energy-efficiency improvement projects, according to the report submitted by Gavin Curren, city director of finance and I.T.
The graphs are available on the city's website https://www.lagunabeachcity.net and will be updated annually..
•A letter to be sent to Congressman John Campbell expressing the need to reform the pending "federal sequestration," the mandatory spending caps on most federal programs through 2021 and other across-the board annual spending cuts, per a request by the League of California cities.
The cuts to non-defense discretionary programs are critical to local government programs, which include Community Development Block grant, HOME Investment Partnerships, COPS and Bryne Justice Assistance grants, according to the league.
Any action taken must be reported publicly.
•Conference with labor negotiations with the Laguna Beach Police Employees, Municipal Employees and Marine Safety Employees associations
•Conference with legal counsel regarding anticipated litigation and two items of significant exposure to litigation
•Conference with legal counsel regarding existing litigation: Club Laguna LLC vs. the city, Orange County Superior Court Cast No. 30-2012-00549548)
The next regularly scheduled meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 13 in the City Council Chambers, 505 Forest Ave.
Meeting agendas are available by 4 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the meeting in the City Clerk's Office in City Hall, 505 Forest Ave. Agendas are also published on the city's website https://www.lagunabeachcity.net.
Compiled by Barbara Diamond from information provided by the city clerk's office.
