Since Texas Allied Petroleum began they only had one goal on their mind, they wanted to be considered as one of the greatest within their industry. They started back in 2005 and they continue to produce high amounts of oil and natural gas. With more than six years under their belt they are now being compared with the different leading companies and they are able stand out and show the companies what they can do. They are able to gain respect from people who are following their work. There are others that are not yet able to determine on whether or not the company is comparable with the other companies who are able to establish themselves a long time and now considered as one of the major provider of fuel in the world. But a lot of experts agree that with the rate that TAP is going they surely have potential of competing against the big ones.
Texas Allied Petroleum values their client as much as their work. They mostly make sure that they will be able to provide a high quality service for their client. This is why there is now a significant amount of people who are trusting and being loyal to their services. They still continue to find clients to help them support their future projects. They also try to insure that they are able to keep up with the continued growing demand for oil and natural gas daily. Their stable production flow is assured to continue. They know that they still have a long way in determining whether they are able to completely say that they are one of those leading companies now.
Under his leadership there are still a lot of things that will help make this company the greatest. They still have a long way to go becoming the leading company that produces fuel but they are positive they can get there.
Texas Allied Petroleum has shown a lot of potential and there are a lot of people who are enjoying their luxurious equipment due to the fuel that TAP has provided them. Most of the equipment that runs with electricity needs fuel to be able to enjoy all the benefits. TAP has a lot of support from the outside which can help them to reach the success and be well known in their line of industry.

|Lightning Prediction System
The Thor Guard Lightning Prediction System has been installed to provide protection from lightning disasters for the public. Lightning is a violent act of nature and the City of Irving recognizes that the threat of injuries or death from lightning strikes cannot be entirely eliminated. However, certain precautions such as a Lightning Prediction System can minimize the potential for lightning related injuries.
When the Thor Guard Warning System (15 second horn blast) sounds, the outdoor facility must be cleared of all patrons as soon as practical. Also, all persons must seek and remain in buildings (not dugouts) or vehicles. All persons must wait until the weather clears and the All Clear Signal sounds (3 short horn blasts) before patrons can resume play.
It is recommended that when possible, park patrons and staff seek and remain in a sheltered area. If such shelter is unavailable, patrons are encouraged to get into their vehicles. A tree or a dugout should not be used for shelter. Individuals should keep away from metal objects such as fences, umbrellas, park shelters etc. This policy shall apply to programs and facilities operated by the City of Irving or its affiliate groups, i.e., Irving All Sports Association and the North Lake Aquatic Center. Activities may only resume once the All Clear Signal Sounds.
Look for these signs in the park listed below:
|Cimarron Park
|201 Red River Trail
|Harrington Soccer Complex
|3585 World Cup Way
|Lee Park
|3000 Pamela
|Lively Park
|909 N. O'Connor Road
|North Lake College
|5001 N. MacArthur
|Cottonwood Creek Park
|4051 N. Story Rd.
|Senter Park
|900 Senter
|2800 W. Shady Grove
|Trinity View
|2221 E. State Highway 356 (Irving Boulevard)
A Lightning Prediction System is monitoring these parks. All other parks are not monitored by this system. During inclement weather, please evacuate the area.
Lightning takes the shortest path. It hits the highest object, a tall tree or building, a tower or a person standing alone in a flat field. Lightning can strike many miles away from its parent storm. So even if you are not right in the middle of a thunderstorm, but one is near, be prepared. If your hair starts standing on end, or you taste copper in your mouth, you are about to be struck by lightning.
How the lightning "Prediction" system will work at the public swimming pools?
When the Thor Guard Warning System (15 second horn blast) sounds, the swimming pool must be cleared of all patrons as soon as practical. Also, all persons must seek shelter in buildings or vehicles (not shady shelters). All persons must wait until the weather clears and the All Clear Signal sounds (3 short horn blasts) before patrons can resume swimming activities.
The National Lightning Safety Institute recommends that you can take a few safety steps to avoid being hit by lightning.
How does lightning "Prediction" differ from lightning detection"?
Lightning "Detection" systems detect the electromagnetic signatures that are the by-product of actual lightning strikes. Lightning "Prediction" senses and evaluates the sifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of an actual lightning strike.

As far as being a good doobie when it came to Axelrod's (and others) e-mails, I did my part: I forwarded them to Glenn Beck…especially the ones that asked for donations to help pay for the SEIU and ACORN buses to go to town hall meetings.I ended up on their mailing list because I made the fatal error of sending in suggestions back in his early days of BarackObama.com (when he was still campaigning).
What do you mean was? He still is campaigning…. I never thought I'd see the day when there was a president worse then Jimmy Carter….

Bradford Bulls chief executive Robbie Hunter-Paul confident of RFL ratification
Updated 4:21pm Friday 21st February 2014 in Sport By Ross Heppenstall, Bradford Bulls Reporter
Bulls chief executive Robbie Hunter-Paul today said he was "extremely confident" the club's change of ownership would be ratified by the RFL.
As exclusively revealed in today's Telegraph & Argus, the current board of directors, under the guise of Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd, have had their bid for the club accepted by Leeds-based administrator David Wilson.
Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd fought off competition from London-based businessman Richard Lamb and two other groups, including key figures from Bradford Park Avenue and Bradford City, also expressed an interest in taking control.
But the current board's bid was deemed by Wilson as the best on offer and they will now await ratification from the governing body.
Hunter-Paul said: "We are delighted that our offer has been accepted by David Wilson and are now approaching the final stages in the change of ownership of Bradford Bulls.
"The position of the board of directors of Bradford Bulls 2014 Ltd has always been to be open with supporters and stakeholders and that is why we are making an effort to update everyone concerned with precise and accurate information.
"The RFL's board of directors must now take a view on our offer, our plans for the future and the way in which we intend to work with creditors going forward.
"Despite recent reports, the ownership of the club now has to be approved by the governing body.
"There are right and proper protocols to follow and a due process which is still to take place.
"But we are extremely confident that we will receive ratification in the near future, handing us the right to operate in the sport's top flight.
"The first step was to offer the best deal for the club – and we have done that. The next is to get the nod from the RFL.
"We hope our supporters can appreciate the hard work that is going on here at The Provident Stadium, across all departments, to ensure a successful future for the Bulls.
"We believe we are close to a conclusion on the matter of ownership. That in itself is hugely pleasing.
"It was great to see the boys pull off such a vital victory last night. They gave it everything and got what they deserved.
"My message, to the fans, is it continue their fantastic support. We will take this club back to where it belongs."

Hope you have some money making projects in the pipeline to allow Fanny to increase the squad, extend the loan periods of the loan players for a start.
Now look forward to some stability after RFL announce number of points to be deducted. Hope its only 2 as have said "working with creditors", but most likely 4 inline with precedence set by Wakefield administration. Can't remember how many London got, perhaps someone can remind me.
RFL should remember they have to be seen to be fair and reasonable and not vindictive thereby earning some respect from the fans for a change. Some hope!

They are connected to an oil industry magnate with strong historic family Bradford connections and other wealthier Bradford Sports loving success stories who had only the Bulls long tem survival interest at heart.
NO land interest
Bulls only have a 30 year lease now thanks to HOOD.
These 4 also have that interest at heart.
And one Andrew Calvert has worked unstintingly for 5 months to try save the sinking ship.
And deserve support going forward.
About 10000 of you every week to survive.
If the 4 don't get that it will be as much the floating fans fault the club fails to suirvive.

Re Creditors, Don't pay the council loan back. That is secured in Khan's name, leave it for him to payback.
Thought it was by debenture on OK Bulls Limited Assets.
Which now apparently did not include the CORAL stand.
Despite Guilfoye offering it for sale.
Personal guarantee by OK maybe.
But what good is that with your best mates heading up the council exec from NEW LABOUR.
The silence from Bradford Council is deafening.
In addition to the "loan" OK has wracked up another £111000 in debt to the council tax payer.
So what on earth are they doing down there at Town Hall??
Laying off staff and cutting support and services the vulnerable and poor and allowing this.
That's at least £311000 owed to the local taxpayer.
Plus interest If indeed an was negotiated as part of the arrangement.
OK has gone.
He has milked publicity for his restaurants.
Oh sorry when fined £20000 for hygeine offences shortly after gaining control of the Bulls it was someone elses restaurant.
You could not make this up at a time Bradford Council are announcing 1.99 per cent increases in council tax.
Could we Messrs Sutclife Green Thornton Greenwood?
Or indeed anyone associated with this sad and sorry "secret" shady deal
Do not try hide behind "commercial sensitivity".

Wifework : Husbands and wives may say they are committed to equality, and indeed, many believe that they live that way. Yet, whether they are employed or not, wives still perform an astounding share of the physical, emotional, and organizational labor in marriage. In Wifework, Susan Maushart takes a radical look at the institution of marriage, exposing the truth of how far we've really come in thirty years. She forces us to consider why 50 percent of marriages end in divorce, and why women are responsible for initiating three-quarters of them. If family life is worth saving, the job description for wives will have to be rewritten. Bolstering her own personal experience as a twice-married mother of three with substantial research and broad statistical evidence, Maushart delves into history to explore the theoretical and evolutionary reasons behind marital inequity. Wifework is candid, bold, at times savagely witty, and always fervently argued.

Wear a belt for necessity or fashion. Belts come in a variety of sizes, colors and styles. Choose a belt that not only accents the outfit, but also works with your shape. For example, according to Like.com, a wide belt accents the hourglass shape by attracting attention to the waist. Smaller figures should stick to skinnier belts. Those with larger figures should also use wide belts. Belts not only come in different sizes, but materials. Leather belts and cloth belts are the most common. The belts have ties or buckles to hold them in place
- Hold the belt behind your waist. Hold the buckle, if applicable, in your right hand
- Wrap the belt around your waist. If you are wearing it around your paints, slip it the unbuckled end through the belt loops. If you are wearing it over a shirt, wrap it around your middle and fasten or tie. Fasten the belt in the buckle or tie in place. It should be snug, but not tight. Wearing the belt too tight pushes your skin over the belt, causing it to hang over
How to Soften a Leather Belt:
Got a favorite leather belt that just will not loosen up? There is a very simple way to loosen up that belt without damaging the leather at all. The following steps will guide you to loosening your favorite leather belt in just a few minutes
- Purchase isopropyl rubbing alcohol. This can be bought at your local drug or grocery store. The brand of the alcohol is of no concern to this process
- Pour some of the alcohol onto a cotton ball. Rub the cotton ball thoroughly all over the leather belt. You may need to use more than one cotton ball if the first one becomes mangled. Repeat this process two more times to ensure the alcohol has soaked into the leather
- Use Vaseline to rub onto the belt as well. This product can be purchased at most grocery stores and drug stores. This process is best done by using your fingers. Make sure you rub the entire belt with the Vaseline. You will not have to repeat this process. By performing this step, the leather is not only loosened, but it is also softened
- Use the same technique as mentioned before on all your other leather products. Shoes, belts, purses and wallets can all receive the same treatment and will all be loosened and softened by the above process. This process will also protect your shoes from water damage as well
How to Stretch a Leather Belt:
Stretching your leather belt allows you to keep it for a longer period of time and still enjoy its fashion benefits
- Add a hole to your belt with a leather punch. Look at the location of the holes on your belt, and note where you desire to insert a new hole
- Add three cups of heated water and one cap of rubbing alcohol to a plastic spray bottle and shake it up. Spray the entire belt, and place the belt around your waist as you normally would when you wear the item. Wear the belt in your home until it is no longer wet
- Alternately, you can buy a chemical solution at your local shoe shop. This mixture will cause the collagen in your leather belt to deteriorate and cause your belt to elongate. Use this chemical shoe stretcher in the same way that you would use the alcohol to perform its function
- Purchase a conditioner at a leather goods store to use on your belt. Read the labels of the products in the store and find a conditioner that contains lanolin, so your pants and shirts will not stain easily

Carolina Beach Boil Water Notice Rescinded; Resulted From Low Pressure
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 13 February 2013 10:05
- Written by Super User
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - The Town of Carolina Beach issued a boil water notice on Monday February 11, resulting from low water pressure throughout the Town's water system over the weekend.
Many residents are concerned because they were not aware of the notice and Town officials did not contact Carolina Beach Elementary School. School officials brought in water coolers and bottled water after hearing the notice in local media.
The notice stated, "Today, the Town of Carolina Beach's primary water treatment facility experienced a temporary loss of water pressure. This interruption resulted in a temporary lack of water pressure throughout the Town's water distribution system. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system. The issue has been corrected and the treatment facility is now operating normally."
It stated, "Therefore, The Town of Carolina Beach and the NC DENR Public Water Supply Section advise that when water is restored consumers Boil All Water used for human consumption ( including drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice and washing hands ) Or Use Bottled Water. Vigorous boiling for a minute or two is sufficient. Customers will be notified when testing is completed and service is returned to normal."
On Tuesday the Town issued a notice rescinding the boil notice. That notice stated, "Bacteriological analysis results of drinking water samples collected recently from this water system show no coliform bacteria present. The system has resumed normal operations."
Responding to a post on the Island Gazette Facebook page, local resident Bri Cox stated, "Yes thank you for letting us know it is safe now. Last time they did this, they never let us know when it was okay to drink. I bought bottled water for a week and a half before I found out."
Mayor Bob Lewis commented on his Facebook page on Tuesday about the notice.
He explained, "I am in total agreement with your concern for the water supplied by our Carolina Beach Utility. The problem is not an easy one to fix as former councils and town management have tried the band aid type approach which is not going to fix the problem. Former town Mayor, Joel Macon started the town in the right direction as it concerns to looking at a Reverse Osmosis plant to provide for future water supply needs instead of connecting to Cape Fear water and having them control our future water supply destiny."
He explained, "The issues have been outlined for council since I took office but it has only been since our current members Steve and Sarah have joined me along with Lonnie Lashley that we demanded a water system audit and strategic plan to get us to clean water. The challenge is salt water intrusion in our system and that will always be an issue. We are implementing the beginning of a strategic plan which will get us to a good water system within a couple years, but we need the support of the residents and business owners to get to a good clean water system throughout our town. We are first installing electronic meters [for] every water customer which will be a self funded investment and not cost the property or business owner anything but which will make our billing more accurate and will open an opportunity for our current town water staff to focus on the real water issues and not just spend time reading meters."
Lewis explained, "Second we are looking at replacing all the current galvanized pipe in the system to eliminate the issues with pressure, breaks, intrusions and iron deposits in the pipe accumulated over 50 years or more. Third we need to replace the old ground water storage tank which at anytime could burst leaving us with a void in the system. Next we need to rebuild a centralized treatment area for all of our water and the last thing we need to do is build a Reverse Osmosis salt water to clean water facility to provide a water reserve for the peak months of use."
He explained, "All of this will take a huge financial investment but today we can borrow money over time at the lowest rates ever and if we wait just a couple years to implement this plan we could be looking at a 30-40% increase in annual costs. The current council is determined to implement a strategic water improvement plan that will work and sustain our future clean water supply for all our residents and business owners. This clearly is not an easy challenge but one we can accomplish."
The boil water notice was issued due to an issue with chlorinating the water and is required by state law in such situations.
Lewis explained, "The chlorination is working properly. A storage tank switch did not work properly and we ended up getting low pressure which could (key word could) cause contamination in rare cases that is why the alert."
Lewis explained, "If you read up on it, old galvanized water pipes can also close up due to rust and they become a filter for chlorine and produce low areas of chlorination. Our system was constructed as a number of multiple systems so each is treated differently and we do not have a centralized chlorination facility which I have read is a big problem. We are using chlorine booster stations to push chlorine into parts of the water system which are not looped together and residents at the end of the lines are either under or over chlorinated at times. It all ties together that is why we can not make an impact on the system without a complete system upgrade and replacement in some cases."
Local resident Jackie Nagy commented to Lewis on Facebook writing, "We're neighbors Mayor Lewis, and let me tell you I'm really ticked off. I was drinking this crap yesterday and this morning till I read on FACEBOOK of all places about this issue. This really stinks and if people get sick they will start to think of suing the town. Annoyed I am!!!!"
Local resident David Transou explained, "Which do we need more? Swimming pools, pier properties, or good, clean water?"
One complaint from Tori Holt on Tuesday summed it up, "I just wonder why the residents have not been more well informed. I had to tell my in-laws about it this morning so they were drinking the possibly contaminated water all day yesterday."
Holt explained, "I thank Island Gazette for the info, but not everyone uses social media."
Local resident Billie Bridges commented, "This is not the first time. Just a few months back, same thing. All the money CB makes, where is our safe water? Get with it CB. No excuse in my book when there is so much profit being published every year."
The last such notice was issued on September 11, 2012 following a water line break at around 10PM the previous night. Crews working to replace lines along Dow Road. A busted 12-inch water-main at the intersection of Dow and Tarboro just south of Harper Avenue was the cause. Fire hydrants were opened to relieve pressure while the contractor made repairs.
Other cities have automated alert systems. The City of Annapolis Maryland has a system called Code Red. You have to supply a phone number or you can opt for email or text messages.
The City of Columbia Missouri has a similar system and targets notices based on the affected areas.

Back to part 1, part 2, part 3.
NEWS SHEET 6. July, 1976. Part 4.
REPORT OF THE RESEARCH CONTROLLER FOR THE MEETING OF JUNE 26th, 1976.The two questions to which this report is addressed are (1) what should be the scope and size of a trial of the alphabets to be investigated and (2) what kind of finance is needed to see the trial through,
Basic Plan and Scope.
The basic plan of the trial can be seen in the accompanying table entitled "allocation of media". The reasons behind this particular plan derive from the literature following experiments with the initial teaching alphabet. Alternative plans with fewer groups taught with the medium of traditional orthography are conceivable. But they would call for a very complicated experimental design, and seem impracticable.
The design indicated allows for "absolute" differences to show if individual alphabets are superior to t.o., and then comparing the size of such differences (a relative comparison) would be the basis for deciding the relative merits of the different alphabets, although suitable statistical techniques are now widespread and would allow direct comparisons with statistical control.
For the sake of brevity, the reasons behind this plan ought not to be discussed at length in this report, since they would involve a review of the literature of criticism of previous trials with i.t.a. However, where it differs from what might be anticipated when thinking of the number of alphabets concerns the scope of the trial.
The scope of the trial must not only cover issues that might be discussed inside the society, but must allow for results that will jolt those who may be antipathetic. This is why the design must allow an initial establishment of the superiority of individual alphabets (if the superiority exists) over t.o., before the questions about the relative merits of the alphabets are addressed. There is a bonus here. There would be enough children taught with t.o. in the trial to enable any testing to establish a t.o. achievement norm that would be specific to the purpose of comparing alphabets. However standard tests need to be used as well, and the literature on i.t.a. trials facilitates choices there.
Making the school class the experimental unit, and having two alphabets (t.o. and a rival) in each school is a widely praised method of matching on incidental variables like social class and school facilities. The alphabet which showed greater superiority over t.o. than novel rivals would be "the winner".
It is very difficult to describe a trial plan without slipping into jargon, but hopefully the general idea is clear enough, and maybe the basis, which is to avoid equivocal results and stay in the realm of what is practicable.
Size of the trial. It is fairly clear from the table that the enterprise is likely to involve some eighteen or so schools. The number of alphabets is not as important as it may seem at first sight. The fewer the alphabets, the more schools would be needed to get a convincing result. With this number of alphabets three schools per alphabet should give enough data to compare alphabets as well as decide what the effect of medium of instruction is in general. The real size problem is the amount of material needed in a trial of this kind.
Problems with Drawing up a Budget.
As far as the budget goes, scope again is important.
The trial needs to be such that people outside the Society will take it very seriously. But since it must involve the cooperation of practising teachers, it must also be taken very seriously by experienced classroom teachers. Getting teachers to do some of the testing saves on personnel, and so does the use of teachers who would be teaching children to read anyway. But then to ensure their genuine involvement, the materials used must be comparable to what is generally in use, especially when the crucial variable is a change in alphabet. The big items are where materials are concerned, but I shall go through the items of a notional budget in my customary order.
Personnel. I think the Society is wise to have a University lecturer as research controller in that the project then becomes part of his "personal" research which gives access to facilities for research which Universities customarily provide. For instance, there is no need to buy computer time, and some bodies will provide finance only to institutions like universities.
However, besides taking advantage of the lecturer's obligation to engage in research, there is the consideration of the overlap of university terms with school terms.
A research assistant would cost up to £3000 a year and employee benefits are 20% of salary. The trial would have to be followed for three years, and doing without an assistant for the middle year might be possible, but there would be a loss of continuity.
Report typing and drafting report forms would require secretarial assistance at, say, £600 over three years.
Travel. According to where participants in the trial are recruited, travel could be very expensive. The figure of £600 comes to mind, with most of it being spent in the first and last years.
Equipment. There is not likely to be heavy expenditure here. Maybe a tape-recorder for recordings of children reading would be justified, but that would be uneconomical.
Materials and reproduction. The main change in the school situation since the more famous i.t.a. trials has been the enormous increase in the number of t.o. reading schemes that have become popular. There is talk of "individualised reading", which means that instead of schools having one scheme, they buy in a range, and gauge children's progress by the number of books of different levels they have read. I think this poses a great problem. Instead of transliterating popular schemes, it is necessary to consider transliterating a range of books at different levels. At the moment, I am going into the question of how widespread "individualised" approaches are on my own. Their existence means that if special materials are written for the trial, they must be in such a quantity that a school would not hesitate to use them exclusively, even though they have been used to a wide selection of t.o. books before the trial.
Reproduction must result in materials that look as attractive to teachers as what they would be using if they were not in the trial. "To teachers" means that pasting over pages in existing books is in order, since every teacher must be used to well-worn books. But results from a trial where duplicated material is used would not nowadays be taken seriously.
Some kind of printed reproduction does not rule out processes like off-set litho. Duplication could be used for some of the test materials, and for records teachers would be asked to keep, but once the trial is involved in printed materials, the order of expenditure is not increased by having more of the same.
Communication. The circulars that would recruit schools and then keep participants informed would involve considerable postage expenditure. I am sure the Society's secretary can supply a figure here.
(Odd numbered classes would be treatment groups; even numbered classes would serve as matched controls)

1. Credentials of individual alphabets would be established, as far as the trial would go, by showing the experimental classes to be superior to the matched control classes.
2. The relative merits of successful (as above) alphabets would be assessed by comparing how much experimental classes differed from the controls. With appropriate techniques of analysis direct comparisons of alphabet groups could also be made.
3. Besides providing control of incidental variables, the number of t.o. groups allows comparisons against achievement norms calculated from people in the experiment, as well as against published norms.
Summary and Recommendations.
1. A practicable and watertight design can be conceived but it would involve some eighteen schools and assistance for the research controller to the tune of £10,000 over three years.
2. Economy of scale of expenditure on reproduction of materials is difficult to justify on research grounds. It might result in teachers who co-operate regarding what they were doing unfavourably, and much work must be done by well disposed teachers in a trial of this kind. (They would have to keep records, do testing and the like, when they would not necessarily need to outside the trial.)
3. It is difficult to gauge what preparing and reproducing materials would cost, but it must be as much as the personnel and travel costs, and other expenditures altogether.
4. Bodies outside the Society must be approached to fund the trial, but first more information on costs of materials is needed, and the likelihood of the co-operation of a sufficient number of schools.

Unfriendly schedule
EDITOR: Its 5:30 a.m. The sun won't be up for an hour. My daughter's alarm just went off. She struggles out of bed to begin her day at El Molino High School. The bus leaves Occidental at 6:27. School starts at 7:35.
Ten hours after her alarm started the day, she is back at home, tired and looking forward to several hours of homework. Being a good, conscientious student, she can't sleep unless it is done properly. Life at 15 should not be this hectic ("Sleepy in school," Sept. 6).
Whoever thought up this schedule should think again. The teenage body and brain is not built for this plan. Our whole family is not built for this plan.

Following are several whispers we've heard recently from around the NFC North:
• If RB Kevin Smith cannot prove he's capable as a power-back complement to Jahvid Best, the Lions could turn to third-year FB Jerome Felton for some of their inside running duties. Felton lacks creativity, but he's a better runner than most fullbacks and relishes opportunities to handle the ball. He has good leg drive and could be a four- to seven-carry-a-game back at some point this season.
• There is a little quiet concern about TE Visanthe Shiancoe's hamstring, which might not have allowed him to play if the Vikings were not on bye in Week Four. It could be one of those season-long nagging injuries, though the team is hopeful it can get him back on the field in Week Five against the Jets.
• While the Packers' special teams reverted to the ghastly form they showed most of the time last season in Green Bay's Week Three loss to the Bears, we hear special-teams coordinator Shawn Slocum is in no immediate danger of getting a quick hook. Slocum's unit looked greatly improved in the Packers' first two games, and the consensus is that a lot of late-breaking injuries to key members of the unit may have had a lot to do with its poor prime-time showing in Chicago.
• The Bears showed just how confident they are in rookie J'Marcus Webb, playing him ahead of veteran Kevin Shaffer at times at right tackle vs. the Packers on Monday night. The seventh-round pick can play on either side of the line and could continue rotating in as offensive line coach Mike Tice prepares him for the greater role he could take on at some point.

Quins try hero Botica misses Sale cut
12:26pm Friday 14th September 2012 in Harlequins By Stuart Amos
Harlequins's try-scoring debutant Ben Botica has found himself surplus to requirements to face Sale Sharks tomorrow.
The 22-year-old Kiwi, son of Frano Botica, came off the bench to score the final try of the 40-3 triumph over London Welsh last Friday.
But with star man Nick Evans' regular understudy Rory Clegg ready to return for the trip north, Botica may be frustrated.
"You don't win the Premiership without using every single player in the squad and this season will be no different," he said.
"Both Ben and Rory are 22-years-old, but they both give us something different off the bench.
"I'm delighted to see Cleggy fit again and he will be back in the mix at the weekend."
Quins, who top the table after the opening two weeks of the campaign, head to winless Sale on Saturday and O'Shea expects a stiff test.
"With players like Dwayne Peel and Danny Cipriani they will be challenging for top honours," he said.
Team to face Sale Sharks:
15 Mike Brown, 14 Tom Williams, 13 George Lowe, 12 Jordan Turner-Hall, 11 Ugo Monye, 10 Nick Evans, 9 Danny Care, 1 Joe Marler, 2 Joe Gray, 3 James Johnston, 4 Charlie Matthews, 5 George Robson, 6 Tom Guest, 7 Chris Robshaw (C), 8 Nick Easter.
Replacements: 16 Rob Buchanan, 17 Darryl Marfo, 18 Will Collier, 19 Peter Browne, 20 Maurie Fa'asavalu, 21 Karl Dickson, 22 Rory Clegg, 23 Matt Hopper.

The Durham Health Department is investigating what it calls a "probable case" of bacterial meningitis after a 5-year-old student died.
The girl went to Mount Zion Christian Academy in Durham, where classes were canceled Thursday following the development, so the school could be cleaned as a precaution. The child's mother works at the daycare on-site, according to the school.
Health officials stress parents do not need to be alarmed but could not confirm where the girl contracted the bacterial infection.
"This is not an outbreak," said Eric Nickens of the Durham Department of Public Health. "This is a very isolated incident."
Nine other children and the family of the child who died were given preventive antibiotics.
The name of the girl was not released.

The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale opens their facebook fracas with a trio of solid featherweight action at Mandalay Bay Events Center with a mixture of veterens and prospects.
Cole Miller (18-7) vs. Bart Palaszewski (36-16) Featherweight
These two did not have a good year in 2012. Both men suffered two losses in the only two fights they had last year. To say their future hangs in the balance understates the stakes.
Miller was especially bad, taking losses against Nam Phan and Steven Siler...two fights that were very winnable. Part of Miller's problem, despite being quite talented, is that he fights a bruiser style without having the body for it. He wants to charge in wrecklessly, to create chances, but that only works if you've got sturdy chin and are durable.
'Bartimus' faced tougher opposition, but he seems to have fallen off after an impressive run in the UFC, and a fantastic debut in the UFC Vitor'ing Tyson Griffin.
Both guys are well rounded. Miller exposed the myth that Jorge Gurgel sabotages himself by not going to the ground when Miller submitted him and took his lunch money. But in addition to having an active guard, he's got decent pop on the feet. As I said, the problem with Miller is that he wants every fight to be a war. Granted, that's a fine attitude for us bloodthirsty observers, but it gets him into trouble.
I'm not sure Bartimus can capitalize though. With Miller using his reach, I don't expect Bart to get inside and put together combinations. On the ground, Miller's the superior grappler. I know people will think I'm crazy to pick Miller but I think knowing it's a do or die fight, he'll battle to his strengths.
Prediction: Cole Miller by Guillotine, round 2.
Justin Lawrence (4-1) vs. Daniel Pineda (17-9) Featherweight
Lawrence entered TUF with a good amount of hype. In his bout to get inside the house, he displayed strong chops on the feet with his diverse kicking attack. He's coming off a loss to Max Holloway.
His opponent is coming off back to back losses. Pineda entered the UFC with a nice run, winning his first two bouts only to lose his next one in a spirited effort against Mike Brown.
Both guys are pretty good at throwing unorthodox strikes. So it should be interesting to see that particular contrast of styles. However, one of the things that gives Pineda the edge here is durability. In all of Lawrence's losses, including his loss on TUF, he's battled hard early only to fade late.
Despite the KO loss to Carvalho, I like Pineda being able to control the cage, mixing up his strikes, and keeping the pressure on with takedowns. The only question is whether or not he'll get caught. When he strings his combinations together, he sort of flails with his head down. Lawrence can easily capitalize on that. I waver on this one because I know Lawrence will be a threat on the feet, but Pineda can end up running away with the fight, especially in the transitions, where he's got some of the more fluid movement on the ground in the division.
Prediction: Daniel Pineda by Decision.
Maximo Blanco (8-4) vs. Sam Sicilia (11-2) Featherweight
It's amazing to think Blanco was thought to be a real blue chip prospect at one point. His flare on the feet, and his stout wrestling made him a potential all star when in the division. Away from Japan, however, he''s been wildly mediocre, suffering a quick loss to Pat Healy (who to be fair, is quite good), and then engaging in one of the more lackluster scraps of 2012 losing to Marcus Brimage (with more action after the fight than during).
Sicilia is another TUF product who enters this fight with a reputation for having significant power in his hands.
To me, this is the perfect fight for Blanco, should he return to form. Sicilia has good power, so Blanco will be forced to respect him the feet, which hopefully keeps him motivated. Blanco is slick on the feet, and won't get caught standing around against Sicilia, who is fairly limited to a big right hand.
With his arsenal of spinning back kicks, front kicks, and more spinning back kicks, expect Blanco to maintain his range, and win comfortably.
Prediction: Maximo Blanco by Decision.

A 10-month-old accidentally locked himself inside a hot car, and his mom says a 911 dispatcher didn't immediately send help.
Numerous calls to Tucson Police are transcribed from early New Year's Day when a man drove over three other people on Sunland Vista. So many calls came in that some of them didn't go through. The lines were flooded and some had to be put on hold.
But one call that did get through was from one of the first on scene: Patrick Balbastro.
Tucson Police said that a cab dropped off suspect Michael Leday and victim Cindy Burnett in the early hours of New Year's Day. What sounded like a struggle or an assault on Burnett began, and Patrick Balbastro drove on the scene with his girlfriend in the car. He called 9-1-1.
In the transcript of what police said was likely that call, Balbastro told the dispatcher, "Yeah she has no clothes on," which likely referred to Burnett.
The dispatcher asked Balbastro if he saw any weapons, to which he responded no. And then he seemed to address the man that Burnett was with, who police suspect to be Leday, and Balbastro said, "I'm not gonna believe you. I'm gonna get out right now. Hold this." That could have been Balbastro getting out of the car and handing the phone to his girlfriend.
The dispatcher told him to not intervene, but Balbastro did, as he said, "What are you gonna get on me?" which was likely addressed to the suspect, possibly Leday.
And as the dispatcher tried to stop it, "Before I hurt this guy right now," was heard on the phone, and "That's a woman right here."
Undescribable yelling was also in the transcript, which likely signified a scuffle, along with the sound of tires screeching and an engine revving. Witnesses reported the white Acura running over three people repeatedly.
Leday was tracked to Kansas City where he was arrested. His charges include two counts of First Degree Murder for the deaths of Balbastro and Burnett.

The Missouri Department of Corrections said Tuesday that it has adopted a new one drug execution protocol.
The DOC will be using pentobarbital, which will be administered intravenously. This drug replaces propofol, which the department had intended to use in future executions.
According to the DOC, the change became necessary due to concerns about the use of propofol in executions.
The DOC has also added a compounding pharmacy to its execution team that will be responsible for providing pentobarbital for executions carried out under the new protocol.
The next execution in Missouri is scheduled for Nov. 20.

Holiday travel and winter weather also contribute to the spread of the flu virus.
Flu season started early this year, and already doctors are seeing a spike in patients with the flu.
At the Midtown Medical Center, 35 patients tested positive for the virus in October and in the first two weeks of November there were almost 130 positive flu tests.
Knowing what to look for can help stop you from spreading the flu.
"You have high fevers, headaches, body aches, general malaise," says Dr. Jonathan Velasquez, E.R. physician at Midtown Medical Center. "And respiratory symptoms like, sore throat runny nose and cough."
Some great tips for staying healthy are washing your hands frequently, wiping surfaces daily, and covering your mouth when you cough.
The best way to do that is coughing into the inside of your elbow or a tissue -- not your hands.
