The Nature of the Presidency of John Fitzgerald Kennedy Representations of Kennedy: Man and Myth 1963 and beyond – The creation of Camelot Theodore White eulogy in Life magazine – established the analogy of the Kennedy administration with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table "For one brief shining moment there was Camelot." The Camelot view of Kennedy would quickly be perpetuated during the 1960s Arthur M. Schlesinger Theodore C. Pierre Salinger Jr. A Thousand Days: Sorensen With Kennedy (1966) John F. Kennedy in Kennedy (1965) the White House Sorensen was a Aid to Senator (1965) liberal academic Kennedy Schlesinger was a In 1953 joined Worked for liberal academic Kennedy's Kennedy during Closely associated senate staff election campaign as with the Kennedy Became press officer administration Kennedy's major An advisor to speechwriter Kennedy's press Kennedy once he Served as a secretary once he became president special counsel became president to Kennedy once he became president The Kennedy Myths Kennedy, despite back problems caused by football and war injuries, was fit and energetic Kennedy and Jackie were the epitome of the attractive and ideal married couple Kennedy had been a war hero due to his exploits in the South-West Pacific as commander of the torpedo boat PT109 Kennedy was anxious to engage in serious reform of American society – in particular civil rights for African Americans The end of Camelot… As time passed, Kennedy's Camelot was challenged and soon the perfect image of the late president was destroyed. Thomas C. Reeves' book A Question of Character: A Life of John F. Kennedy and Richard Reeves' book President Kennedy: Profile in Power (1993) are correctives to the Camelot version of events Kennedy's health Sorensen (1965): It would be wrong to assume that he was a sickly man. He had astounding vitality, stamina and endurance. Kennedy's health Reeves (1993): In truth, boy and man, he was sick and in pain much of the time. As candidate and President, Kennedy concealed his low energy level, radiating health and good humour, though usually spent more than half of most days in bed. Kennedy's health Rorabaugh Kennedy and the promise of the sixties (2002): (Kennedy was) affected by the drugs he had to take for his various maladies. The presidential party included Dr. Max Jacobson ("Dr. Feelgood"), dispenser of shots laced with amphetamine. The Kennedy marriage Sorensen (1965): In the White House husband and wife were very close. His election, to her surprise, strengthened instead of strained their marriage. Those were their happiest years. Salinger (1966): The White House had brought about a closeness in their relationship, a wider understanding of one another. The Kennedy marriage Dallek in An Unfinished Life (2003): Since they had not lived together before marrying, Jackie was unprepared for what she called Jack's "violent" independence – by which she meant not just his habit of going off with his male friends but, more important, his thinly disguised promiscuity Reeves (1991): While her husband traveled frantically throughout the country seeking political allies, Jackie grew increasingly unhappy. Detesting politics, lonely, and suffering from occasional black moods, she was hurt by continuous stories of Jack's extramarital affairs The War hero Sorensen (1965): He had been a genuine hero of World War Two, he had towed one injured sailor three dark and freezing miles, grasping the man's life belt strap in his teeth as he swam The War hero Dallek (2003): Since Jack's boat was the only PT ever rammed in the entire war, questions were raised about his performance in battle Kennedy the crusader for civil rights Sorensen (1965): In 1953 John Kennedy was mildly and quietly in favor of civil rights legislation as a political necessity consistent with his moral instincts. In 1963 he was deeply and fervently committed to the cause of human rights as a moral necessity inconsistent with his political instincts Kennedy the crusader for civil rights Miroff in Pragmatic Illusions (1976): Faced with a social movement and a moral crisis that transcended the ordinary boundaries of American politics, Kennedy continued to play politics as usual Kennedy: Public and private figure Kennedy and his wife, both ex-journalists, were extremely media savvy and image conscious Much of the imagery centered on family life Sorensen (1965): As President he welcomed every opportunity to get away from his desk and get back to the people. While most of the shyness in public disappeared, a well-bred deference in private did not Schlesinger (1965): Jack was urbane, objective, analytical, controlled, contained, masterful, a man of perspective Reeves (1991): An enormous gap existed between the image of JFK – dignified public servant, faithful husband, cultivated, judicious, reflective, well-mannered – and the real man, often insensitive, lascivious, and irresponsible Kennedy and Cuba Role in the Cuban missile crisis Sorensen's assessment of Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis Waiting for the President to come in, we speculated about what would have happened if John F. Kennedy had not been president of the United States He had earned his place in history by this one act alone. He had been engaged in a personal as well as national contest for world leadership and he had won Role in the Cuban missile crisis Early accounts in 1965: Make no mention of Operation MONGOOSE Emphasize Kennedy's role – no longer relying on advisors as he did during Bay of Pigs fiasco Play down fact that Kennedy's policies contributed to crisis Giglio's (2006) assessment in The Presidency of John F. Kennedy Few Americans at the time understood how the first Cuban crisis contributed to the second one or the extent to which government leaders helped provoke the Cuban missile crisis The administration contributed to the missile crisis, coming just seven months after the Bay of Pigs, when President Kennedy approved operation Mongoose, a covert CIA-inspired plan to topple Fidel Castro Indochina The debate Kennedy was an expert on communism in the Third World and was convinced of the need to oppose communism in Indochina. He used a variety of means to do this but was willing to pull out of South Vietnam if his policies did not work According to Schlesinger: Kennedy's policies in South Vietnam were successful in 1961-62 Difficulties arose only because of internal problems amongst the South Vietnamese Kennedy didn't approve of Diem as leader, whom had been in power since 1955 Diem's incompetence as a leader and personal behaviour led to problems in Vietnam – Kennedy's policies were not to blame Kennedy never intended on fighting a land war in Asia and was looking for ways to get out Kennedy was mislead by advisers on the real situation and had little idea about what he was doing in Vietnam. His policies were inconsistent and piecemeal, leading to the disastrous situation in Vietnam According to Reeves (1991): Kennedy had too many other problems during 1961-62 to give his undivided attention to Vietnam – Cuba, Berlin, Laos Kennedy's anti-communist foreign policy was at odds with the real situation – leading to irrational decisions Under Kennedy, the US became deeply involved in Vietnam – it was now impossible to leave Schlesinger's views are self-serving – he didn't want himself or Kennedy associated with the later disasters of the Vietnam War Relationship and dealings with Khrushchev The debate Kennedy was able to handle the Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev and to improve US- Soviet relations despite problems over Berlin, the arms race and Cuba Sorensen and Schlesinger: Defensive accounts of the Vienna meeting Kennedy firmly expressed his views regarding Berlin to Khrushchev The establishment of an ongoing correspondence between the leaders was very important Schlesinger: Neither Kennedy nor Khrushchev emerged victorious, or defeated, cheerful or shaken Sorensen: Generally, Kennedy carried the conversational initiative, introducing topics, keeping them specific, bringing straying discussions back to the question and pressing Khrushchev for answers Salinger: Despite their failure to reach accord on major East-West conflicts, both heads of state left Vienna with greater personal respect for each other Kennedy probably improved in his dealings with Khrushchev over time, but the Russian leader was a strong opponent and Kennedy never really came to grips with handling him Reeves (1991): But the American President's arguments did seem old and defensive He was on the other side, arguing against revolution, against change. The Marxist coal miner was tying him in knots For the first time in his life Kennedy met a man who was impervious to his charm Rorabaugh (2002): In any event, Kennedy allowed himself to be drawn away from a discussion of specific problems into a fruitless ideological debate Although Americans had to live with the consequences of this failure in the early sixties, Kennedy's poor performance remained partly hidden from view for decades

PSE nets P429M in first half of 2013
popular .
MANILA, Philippines–The Philippine Stock Exchange hiked its first semester net profit by 31.8 percent year-on-year to P428.95 million as the local bourse collected higher fees related to trading, listing and clearing of equities.
Operating revenues rose by 36.97 percent to P712.69 million as trading- and listing- related income as well as service fees generated by wholly-owned Securities Clearing Corp. of the Philippines (SCCP) all increased by double-digit levels alongside the more robust capital markets.
On the other hand, the PSE's expenses grew at a slower pace of 15 percent year-on-year to P237.14 million, bulk of which (43.66 percent) went to compensation and other related staff expenses.
On the revenue side, all business segments contributed to higher profitability in the first six months as follows:
Listing-related income climbed by 29.67 percent driven by fees from initial public offerings, additional listing of shares and listing maintenance;
Trading-related income, inclusive of amount ceded to the Capital Market Integrity Corp. (CMIC) as regulatory fees, went up by 38.49 percent as daily turnover in the local bourse averaged higher at P11.51 billion from P7.64 billion last year; SCCP fees rose by 48.18 percent due to higher trading volume.
Listing-related income accounted for 38.63 percent of operating revenues or about P275.31 million while trading-related income had a share of 24.58 percent or P175.2 million. SCCP service fees accounted for 35.19 percent or P250.8 million.
On the other hand, other income fell by 11.26 percent to P76.93 million primarily due to the drop in the performance of equity funds managed by two external fund managers under a purely discretionary mandate. Interest earnings likewise dipped by 19.66 percent due to lower interest rates.

Mario Vargas Llosa. Travesuras de la nina mala.
RICARDO SOMOCURCIO, the protagonist of Travesuras de la nina mala, Mario Vargas Llosa's recent novel, is a middle-class Peruvian whose sole ambition since early in life was to live in Paris. Ricardo sees his dream come true when he moves to the French capital in the early 1960s, making a living as a translator. During his teenage years in Lima in the 1950s, he meets Lily, a flirtatious adolescent, known as la chilenita, with whom he falls madly in love. However, when Lily's false identity as a Chilean is suddenly revealed, she disappears. There begins the long amorous saga between Ricardo and la nina mala that lasts four decades, during which time she will change her identity repeatedly. La nina mala will first reappear in Paris in the early 1960s, as la camarada Arlette, on her way to revolutionary Cuba. From Cuba, she will return to Paris as Madame Arnoux, after marrying a French diplomat in Havana. Later, Ricardo finds her again in London in the 1970s, this time as Mrs. Richardson, the wife of a British aristocrat, and yet once more in Tokyo, where she is known as Kuriko, the lover of a sordid Japanese mobster. Each new meeting between the two lovers reignites Ricardo's love frenzy, until the mysterious nina mala turns into an obsession that controls his heart and mind.
Humor and tragedy are carefully woven in a linear narrative depicting a relationship filled with treason, melodrama, and eroticism. Through la nina mala's multiple identities, Vargas Llosa also pays homage to one of his literary masters, Gustave Flaubert, who in L'education sentimentale includes an adventurous character known as Madame Arnoux. Much like la nina mala, Madame Arnoux appears and disappears in the life of Frederic Moreau.
Vargas Llosa's novel also chronicles important political and social events in contemporary Europe (i.e., Paris as the haven for many Latin American revolutionaries of the 1960s; the swinging London of the 1970s; the post-Franco Spain of the 1980s). At the same time, Peru's unstable political history, ranging from military regimes in the 1960s to fragile democratic governments in the 1980s, is also portrayed.
A novel of lighthearted, humorous moments, with many dramatic twists and turns in its plot, Travesuras de la nina mala also reflects on the craft of fiction. As the novel progresses, Ricardo's identity as a translator quietly evolves into that of an author. As such, he informs the reader of his long amorous saga with Otilia (la nina mala's real name), a woman who has given him through her many identities "el tema de una novela." In turn, la nina mala becomes a tragic heroine in the best tradition of many rebels of the nineteenth-century European novel. Like Emma Bovary, she is a woman with a nonconformist lifestyle who lives not only according to her own moral code but is also willing to go down in life defending her staunch individualism.
In Travesuras de la nina mala, Vargas Llosa once again displays his well-known talent as a storyteller and puts together a fine work about the many faces of love, twentieth-century history, and the art of fiction.

Doug WeadMichael Reagan attempts, rather successfully, to fit today's issues into the political template of yesterday's conservative leader, but his greater focus is on the basics, the principles that guided the president like fixed stars in the firmament. Michael writes that no new issues or events make those basics any less true or relevant today.

text: According to a June 21, 2001 report in the Los Angeles Times, Ben Stein, host of the Comedy Central TV game show "Win Ben Stein's Money" has sued Shockwave.com for breach of contract. In the suit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Stein claims he is owed $212,250 for his work in helping to develop an online quiz show. In exchange for the use of his name, voice and likeness, Stein reportedly was to receive 75,000 shares of Shockwave stock valued at 50 cents a share, with an option to sell back the stock at nearly $3 per share. The show has yet to launch on the Web. The lawsuit claims Shockwave.com, now AtomShockwave after their recent merger with Atom Films, used stalling tactics to avoid making good on the buyback. As originally reported on AWN [ Ben Stein Wins With Shockwave], Stein originally signed the deal in April of 2000. The deal called for the development of an on-line game, a series of e-greeting cards and a daily poll for Shockwave visitors. At the time, Stein joined SOUTH PARK's Trey Parker and Matt Stone, TWIN PEAKS' creator David Lynch, comic book master Stan Lee and gothic filmmaker Tim Burton in signing online development deals with Shockwave.com. In early September 2000, AWN reported on Shockwave.coms decision to change its focus from big celebrity toon deals to interactive games. At that time, the company laid off 20 people, but pledged it would continue work on productions already in development. Steins suit comes on the heels of a massive layoff at the company. In early June, AtomShockwave announced that it had laid-off 2/3s of its staff, leaving approximately 150 people without jobs. In addition, the online entertainment said it would be shutting down its Los Angeles and New York offices.

So many cool questions!
I am not into soccer or similar. Social sports are useful when involved.
Current Romanian government follows the UN at the moment.
However Romanians keep the liberty alive and well so far.
The problem here seems to be the lack of self development.
Wurmbrand seems to be real. However I think better examples are found in the book of Acts written by Luke, who wrote a Gospel also.

Bay View Grand, the premier condominium towers in all of Cancun is located in the heart of the hotel zone walking distance to Hard Rock Cafe,Rain Forest Cafe, Carlos & Charley's Senor Frogs and Coco Bongo. We offer you the best white sand beach in all of Cancun.
The property features four 18 story towers complemented with the highest quality service that includes a luxury gym with the latest equipment,two infinity swimming pools with hydrotherapy Jacuzzi and tennis courts. A full service spa on the property extends a relaxed and pleasant experience of being pampered.
We are located on the 11th floor with breath taking views of both the ocean and lagoon. The condominium was completely renovated with a sleek modern kitchen with granite counter tops, new baths, and new stylish white ceramic floors. There is a convenient full laundry room off kitchen and walk in closets. Two master bedroom suites with individual balconies showing view of ocean in one and lagoon in the other. The Master bedroom has a king bed and the second has two double beds. The third bedroom has bunk beds and a trundle bed which is perfect for children. Flat screen TV's in every bedroom as well as a large screen LCD TV in living room. This condo comfortably sleeps 6 adults and 2 children in the bunk/trundle bed.
Living room Dining room area opens up to balcony overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
The entire condominium was decorated by a professional designer from the U.S. You will not be disappointed.
Keywords: Condominium
We call our home 'The Emerald Of The Sea'. With the white sand beaches and the turqoise blue Caribbean Sea, we could not pass up the opportunity to own our own beach front condominium. The ease for us to get here was a plus as well, only a two and a half flight. The property is a first class development.
Our home is well appointed and decorated to a 'T'. All furnishings and bedding are of the highest quality. The views of the ocean from all three balconies are to die for. In addition there is a private jacuzzi off the master bedroom balcony. There is a full service spa and gym including steam room for your pleasure at no charge. At our infinity pool you can enjoy waiter service for drinks and food.
We have been in Cancun eight times. This accommodation by far was the best of all our destinations. You have the ocean view for sunrise and the lagoon view for sunset. The condo has been decorated with taste and beauty. Everything was as described in the listing. I would not hesitate to recommend this to other tourists.
Richard & Grace's condo is unlike any other condo we have stayed in during our other two trips to Cancun. Their condo is very spacious, clean down to the detail and beautifully decorated --- the photos do not do this home justice! The 3 large bedrooms (each with private bath) were ideal for our group of 6. Two of the bedrooms also offer walk-in closets & great views with one bedroom overlooking the ocean and the other overlooking the bay / street. We had just as much fun sitting on the deck overlooking the bay, street & nightlife as we did on the two decks that are oceanfront! The full kitchen (washer & dryer also) worked out great, not to mention it is gorgeous with granite countertops & stainless steel appliances.
Bay View Grand is a beautiful & clean community. The 2 huge infinity pools each have a large whirlpool / hot tub. Access to the beach is just steps from the pools. The bar/restaurant is located between the 2 pools. We ate breakfast & lunch there several days. The food was always excellent & reasonably priced. It offers room service, outdoor seating with a view of the ocean or the waiter will deliver poolside. The Spa offers manicures, pedicures and all types of massages very reasonably priced.
The location is great for walking to restaurants and shopping. Some of the restaurants within walking distance: Senor Frogs, Hard Rock Cafe, Rainforest Cafe, Cold Stone Creamery, Outback Steakhouse, Bubba Gump, Margaritaville, a McDonalds and a US pizza chain restaurant. If you choose to take a bus (your cheapest mode of transportation & so much fun!) there are countless eating establishments and shopping to choose from. There are also 2 quick stores right next to Bay View Grand on the same side of the street. We made daily trips to "OXXO" and "EXTRA" for a newspaper and ice cream!
The morning after arrival we took the bus to "Market 28" which is located near downtown Cancun and it is where the best bargaining can be done with the local vendors (pottery, silver) then we went to Wal-Mart for our grocery items for the week.
We never rented from VRBO before but our first conversation with Richard & Grace put our minds at ease. Richard called before we departed to see if we had any questions & offered invaluable advice from good eating spots to what a fair taxi fair would be. He called again after to see how our trip had been. Our next trip to Cancun we will definetely be staying at Richard & Grace's!
We just returned from 7 days during spring break at this property with a family of 5 and another family of 4. This is our 4th consecutive year in Mexico and this unit was the best yet! The condo is very well appointed, clean, and comfortable with great views. The Bayview Grand property is immaculate, the pools are huge (and heated), the beach out front is perfect, and the security could not have been better. I was also very impressed with the workout facility as we used it every morning. The snack bar in the pool area was also very convenient and the staff was great. One of the best things about the location (near the end of the hotel zone) is that you can walk a short distance and get away from the "waterfront chain restaurants" and get better food at less than half the price.There are also 2 convenience stores about 150 yards from the main gate. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Beautifully furnished with all the ammenities. Property was exactly as listed. Easy access to local restaurants, etc. Beautiful swimming pools complete with a friendly staffed bar with lunch menu at bargain prices. Direct access to beach and water sports. Security staff at front gate and beach access gates 24-7 assured that only residents and renters had facility access. Secure elevators with new key card sytsem was just installed prior to our visit. Felt very safe walking to the center or riding the local bus. Owner was very helpful,providing suggestions for restaurants and attractions. Property manager was extremely helpful and professional. We enjoyed a day at Xcaret, travel to Tulum and Playa DelCarmen and Isla Mejuerres. This is the perfect base of operation for a family vacation. The lagoon facing bedroom can be a little noisy at night from the night club music which carries from three blocks away, but the teenagers in that room just used their ipods during bed time. A very minor issue. We would return to this property if travelling to Cancun in the future.
We had a wonderful time in Cancun and the condo was perfect for our needs. Great location and the grill/bar downstairs at the pool was very reasonable and the food was great. The pool was clean and security was visible at all times. The condo itself was very roomy, clean and comfortable for the 6 of us. We could walk to restaurants and bars as well as shopping in about 5 minutes and the bus is also very convenient for going to other locations in the general area. RIchard was very helpful and quick to offer assistance when called upon both before, during and after the trip.
This propery is in a great location; many restaurants within a short walk. The condo itself is well stocked with everything needed to be comfortable. The Bay View Grand Complex is well-maintained, very clean, with a wonderful pool and beach access. The local property manager greeted us promptly at both arrival and departure and is very nice. Would definitely return.

Denver linebacker Wesley Woodyard is planning to return Sunday for the Broncos' game in Baltimore. Woodyard sat out last Thursday night's game at Oakland, Denver's eighth consecutive victory, with a sprained left ankle that he suffered Dec. 2 against Tampa Bay. "I'm playing," Woodyard said this week. He said he could have played against Oakland if the game had been on Sunday instead of Thursday. "It was just the smart thing to do to stay off it and get some rest," Woodyard said, according to ESPN.com. "I got healthy." Woodyard, a first-year starters, has 97 tackles this season for the Broncos (10-3).

IP for the Networked Society enables service providers to grow their businesses profitably. It allows them to create and offer differentiating services with agility and efficiency. The constant development of new mobile devices, new cloud applications and new IP technologies brings tremendous opportunities for operators to expand in such areas as M2M and other business models.
Telstra vEGW - Innovative Co-creation
Ericsson and Telstra have jointly established a Center of Excellence for Programmable Networks to accelerate the commercial deployment of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) driven use cases and solutions. A recently completed initiative is the trial for the Virtual Enterprise Gateway solution.
Ericsson Virtual Router completes Ericsson's end-to-end router portfolio – from the Router 6000 series for the edge and metro, to SSR 8000 for the IP edge and core. Ericsson Virtual Router represents a fundamental rethinking around how network functions will be deployed in next-generation networks and datacenters.
Network Functions Virtualization and Software Management
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is commonly described as a network architecture concept that uses IT virtualization technologies to virtualize entire classes of network node functions. The introduction of SDN adds even more potential to NFV, as traffic no longer needs to be steered based on IP addresses alone.
Meeting the challenges of the distributed cloud
The evolution toward Network Functions Virtualization and the distributed cloud brings new challenges for wide area networks (WANs). By deploying software-defined networking-based Traffic Engineering with a centralized control plane, operators can improve elasticity while maximizing resource utilization in the WAN that connects the distributed cloud.
IP-optical Convergence: a complete solution
The shift to software-defined networking (SDN) architecture for transport networks has given a new lease on life to the IP-over-optical solution that has been around for nearly two decades. Converging the IP and optical network layers to centralize network control is an excellent way to increase service velocity and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for network operators.
Microwave will continue to be a major mobile backhaul medium, connecting around 50 percent of all radio sites in 2019. This report gives Ericsson's view of important aspects of microwave in backhaul networks including capacity needs and capabilities, spectrum, total cost of ownership, packet functionalities and service defined networks and how this will evolve towards 2020.
The Evolved IP Network (EIN) solution provides high performance, scalable, cost-effective and highly reliable IP transport for multi-service broadband services. EIN is based on Ericsson's ...
Today's digital life is expanding into more areas of society and business. When one person is connected their life changes and when everything is connected our world changes. In the ...
Our Networks Software is our coordinated network-wide software launches and it's focused on enhancing network performance and enabling operator growth. Each release contains a number of new and ...
The visibility and control made possible by the Service-Aware Charging and Control solution is vital in today's rapidly growing market of mobile data traffic and new multimedia services.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is bringing about disruptive innovations that enable service providers to build rapidly scalable and agile networks. SDN abstracts the complexity of ...
Ericsson is industrializing Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) for improved deployment flexibility, built for the ...
Ericsson participated as a platinum sponsor at the NFV & SDN Summit in Paris on March 17-20, 2015. Check our presentations in Slideshare/Youtube:
Håkan Djuphammar, Ericsson Head of Technology BU Cloud & IP, says Router 6000 series is a game-changer in the backhaul space and prepares the networks for future 5G requirements.
Bouygues Telecom, France chose to change its nodes in favor of Ericsson SGSN-MME with multi-access technology. Optimization and control functionality for smartphone signaling was introduced as part of the solution, bringing a 98 percent reduction in paging.
SoftBank Mobile's use of Ericsson's EPC solution including SGSN-MME Smart and Adaptive Paging functionality optimized signaling by 70% in RAN and EPC.

A Maximum RPM Chart for different diameters is located near the bottom of the page.
Double Cut (alternate cut) is the most popular bur in ferrous applications. Manufactured with cuts made on both the left and right spirals,
this design produces a finer finish on material producing smaller chips and slivers. The double cut offers much smoother operation and greater tool control.
Non-Ferrouse (aluminum) cut burs have a more open, aggressive cut to avoid loading on softer materials.
This design provides outstanding stock removal on aluminum, magnesium, copper, soft steel, brass, zinc alloys,
hard rubber, most plastics, and non-ferrous metals. These burs provide easy chip flow with little or no clogging.
Maximum Recommended RPM is determined by file diameter.

Temperature blend and recirculation doors commonly fail, which can cause the AC modes not to change or the temperature to be different on the left and right sides. If replacing blend air doors, a recirculation door, a door link, or a sub-assembly housing, new heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) sub-assemblies are available that improve reliability.
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Problem Reports
Most Reported 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Problem Reports
Due to warped front brake rotors or variations in the thickness of the rotors, brake pulsations may develop. The best method to reduce pulsations is to use an "On the Car" brake lathe (as long as the rotors are suitable for turning). "On the Car" equipment can correct variations (or "runout") in the rotor surfaces because it also corrects variations in other components (e.g. the hub).
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
Electrical contacts in the tail lamp housing tend to break or melt, which can cause the brake lights to fail or work intermittently. Complete inspection of the tail light housing and bulbs is recommended before replacing any parts.
Failure in the blower motor power module (automatic temperature controls) or resistor block (manual AC) may cause the heater blower motor to work only on the high setting. The connector to the power module/resistor block is known to overheat (and sometimes melt). The connector or terminals should be replaced; a replacement connector is available.
A no crank or no start condition may develop due to electronic lockup of the wireless control module (WCM), also referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM). When this module fails the remote keyless entry system will also not operate. The WCM is commonly replaced to correct this concern.
The AC evaporator drain commonly clogs and causes water to leak onto the passenger side floor. A sloshing noise may also be heard from the water inside the heater housing. Decaying organic debris in the housing may cause an odor. A service bulletin (TSB 24-06-96) was released; it describes how to clean the drain tube without removing the heater AC housing.
If the transmission delays initial gear engagement after being parked overnight or longer, it may be due to a suspect transmission cooler return filter. If the transmission was recently serviced and the part number for the cooler return filter contains an "AB" suffix at the end, a new filter should be installed.
The fuel tank may become hard to fill and/or the fuel fill nozzle may shut off repeatedly while fueling. Our technicians tell us that various items including the fuel tank, vapor recirculation tube, fuel fill tube, or EVAP system canister control valve may be at fault. Proper diagnoses will be required to determine the exact cause of this concern.
The thermostat may fail to close completely, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. This problem will prevent the engine from reaching normal operating temperature; a new thermostat should be installed.
Software updates are available to solve various Check Engine Light and warning light related issues.
On January 17th I took my car in because I went to the gas station after leaving home got my gas went in to pay for my gas came out and my car would not start. Tried starting it 15 times and finally it started. Took it into the dealership and they said that the battery was bad so I replaced it. Today left my home vehicle started. I got to the gas station again shut the car off locked it came back out within 20 minutes and it would not start ...
A small leak from loose charcoal in the charcoal canister (part of the Evaporative Emissions System) may cause Check Engine Light illumination.

Would former Winnipeg Jet all star Teemu Selanne contemplate an offer from his old team? Could and would Winnipeg general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff offer the Finnish-Flash a 1 year 5 million deal? The team has the cap space and more to offer in such a deal. Why would Selanne not consider it, he's already got his Stanley Cup ring, might he consider there to be some unfinished business. He'd be worth the money, plus the one year deal would be hugely beneficial to the hockey club. What could Cheveldayoff do to entice him back to Winnipeg?
Unfortunately close friend Saku Koivu could not join Selanne, because the veteran has a no movement clause with Anaheim. But there are a couple of Finnish countryman that are available as UFA's. One of the Finnish free agents is Anti Miettienen who has scored 15 goals or more four years in a row, and could be had for just over 2 million per year. Or what about Jussi Jokinen, who has put up shockingly good numbers the past two seasons, (49 goals and 113 points) he likely could be had for 3.5 million or so.
Either way more offence is needed
Main reason they need to look at the offensive free agents is because the team doesn't have enough depth from the goal scoring standpoint. Andrew Ladd led the team last year with 29 goals, but after that they only have four forwards with 16 goals or more, none of the four had 20 goals. Adding Selanne and one of this Finnish countrymen, gives them a solid top six and a stronger looking powerplay. All of this gives the team that much better of a chance to get into the playoffs.

(1) John Washbourne, born about 1500, is the earliest ancestor which can be supported by existing documentation. Although for well over a century, genealogists have claimed he was the son of John Washburn and Joan Mytton of Bengeworth and Wichenford, and thus of royal lineage through his mother, there is no concrete documentation of such a relationship.

Genealogical Publishing Com, Nov 1, 1992. Page 89.
There is no proof that John Washburn No 37 was the son of John Washburn and Joan Mitton. (See TAG 36:63)
From Wichenford Bengeworth Connection Proved 2005
The DNA study proves that the descendants of John Washbourne and Joan Mitton of Wichenford were related to the descendants of John and Emme Washbourne of Bengeworth, but the science is not exact enough to prove that two men who lived contemporaneously 500 years ago were specifically brothers. Similar DNA matching results could be obtained if they were first cousins (sharing the same grandfather), or second cousins (sharing the same great-grandfather.)
The question unanswered is whether there is proof that John Washbourne of Bengeworth was the son specifically of John Washbourne and Joan Mitton of Wichenford. The Wichenford John Washbourne's grandfather, Sir John Washbourne, Knight, had a son John Washbourne in addition to his eldest son Norman Washbourne, who may have been the ancestor of the Bengeworth branch. The resulting DNA matching of both lines would produce similar results. Unfortunately his descendants did not make The "Visitations." Being a younger son, the estates were inherited by Norman Washbourne, the eldest son, and John would not have inherited any of his father's estates. Likewise, Sir John Washbourne himself had a brother William Washbourne whose descendants did not make the "Visitations," so the point is that there were other Washbournes in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire in addition to the Royally descended lines of John and Joan (Mitton) Washbourne in the 15th Century who were certainly related to the Washbournes of Wichenford, but whose families were not traced by Grazebrook's "Healdry of Worcestershire" or Phillimore's "Visitation of Worcestershire." Let's not jump to conclusions that the facts do not warrant.
From Washburn family history on Ancestry.com
In 1538, when registration became compulsory, John Washbourne and his wife, Emme, appear recorded as residents of Bengeworth, a suburb of Evesham, six or eight miles northeast from Little Washbourne and about 20 miles southeast of Wichenford in Worcestershire, England. In his will, 1546, John describes himself as "John Wassheburne, husbandman." He had fields in Bengeworth and a house and buildings in town, enough for the comfortable living of the family but not for luxuries. The arms of the Wichenford Washbournes were blazoned on the south window of the church as benefactors. In his will he directs that his "body be buried in ecclesiastical sepulture of my parish church of Bengeworth and brought to sepulture with solemne dirge and mass for my soul and all Christian souls". He bequeaths to the church aforesaid two strikes of wheat and two of barley, after which follow bequests of small domestic and farm belongings, of his lands and houses to his eldest son John, of small annuities to the other children, and trifles to his grandchildren. His chattels inventory 26-8-8.
Of John's wife, Emme, it is only known that she lived with her husband until her death in 1547, bore him children and made a will disposing of her property at her death. Her will reflects more the religious feelings and customs of the times. She says:
"I bequeathe my soul unto Almighty God, the glorious virgin Saynt Mary, to the company of all the blessed Angels and Saynts in hevyn, and my body to be buried within the Churchyard of Bengeworth".
These were the popular thoughts and expressions in the last two years of Henry VIII, "Defender of the Faith", and the year of Martin Luther's death. John and Emme left two married sons and two married daughters, Katherine, wife of Danyell Hide, and Alis, wife of Robert Martin. The sons were John and William. All these names are gleaned from wills, as the Bengeworth registers were non-compulsory, and hence incomplete, until 1538. John's burial is recorded 8 January 1546 and Emme's 13 May 1547.
Children (provided by John Maltby):
- John (d 1593) (note: other sources have him as 2nd son). Married 1) Jone Bushell 2) Jone Shepey
- William, the second son, who married Margaret Harward on 2 October 1541 in Badsey, Worcestershire, which adjoins Bengeworth only a couple of miles to the east, and they settled in Bretforton, which is just on the other side of Badsey in Worcestershire. William Washborne was buried in Bretforton on 21 April 1588. His will and inventory are in folio #55 for 1588 in the Worcester Probate Registry. Margaret was probably the one buried on 3 June 1592 in Bengeworth.
- Alice; married Robert Marten, glover, died testate in Bengeworth in 1555, and his will is folio #18 for 1555 in the Worcester Probate Registry. From Emme Washborne's will we learn that Alice had at least three children: John, William, and Margaret Marten.
- Katherine, who married Daniel Hide. They had one son by 1546, who was not named in the wills. A Daniel Hyde, who was Vicar of Haselor died testate in 1571, may be the same person.

Two Baltimore tunnels closed in security threat
BALTIMORE (Reuters) – Two major Baltimore tunnels — the
Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and the Fort McHenry Tunnel — were
closed on Tuesday as a "security precaution," disrupting
traffic on one of the major highways serving the U.S. East
Coast, authorities said.
A U.S. government official who declined to be identified
said the two tunnels were closed due to an uncorroborated
threat, and a detective with the Maryland Transportation
Authority Police said the closing were due to "an unspecified
terror threat."
The Harbor Tunnel, which carries traffic along Interstate
95, was completely closed, while one lane of the Fort McHenry
Tunnel was closed in each direction, said the Maryland
Transportation Authority Police.
The tunnels were closed at 11:20 a.m., police said.
"It's just a security precaution," a police officer said.

I've been messing around with bitcoins a lot lately. I'm putting all four cores of my 570 into mining, playing blackjack with what it spits out, and stock piling that into real cash. I've been waiting for a real game to take advantage of it for a long while now.
Apparently there's a thread on the Steam forums where a bunch of people who knew nothing about bitcoins ranted about what a bad idea it'd be for Valve to accept the digital currency, but I have to differ. It would cost them a few hours of labor to implement, and then payments they get with that option would save them ~2.5% on transaction fees. It converts into meat-space dollars without much hassle. I think it'd be a mutual win for Workshop users.
There is a game out there called "Dragon's Tale" or something. It's essentially a casino with weird novelty games. While that's *an* approach, I'd like to see something closer to the MMO model.
Say the game costs ~$15USD worth of bitcoins a month to play. 25% of those bitcoins go into a kitty. Higher level the monsters have a bigger the chance to have to access that money. The amount of money the monster drops is also dependent on level. To pull some numbers out of my butt, say they have a .0025%/level chance to drop .000000001 btc/level. Odds of the game losing money is very slim, assuming the number of mobs killed per pay cycle is controlled.
Now, since vendor trash would have a real world value, you'd eliminate it. Anything a mob drops can be used for crafting. The auction house gets a standard 5% cut of all sales (additional revenue stream) and enterprising players can make real, bill paying money off of other players. I think the game's economy should be open - players can withdraw and deposit bitcoins from external sources at will.
One last twist: since MMOs aren't graphically intensive, the client could double as a mining client, and the game could double as a mining pool. This means players earn some bitcoins just from staying online. Albeit not as much as they might if they were running their PCs as dedicated miners. The bitcoins earned in this way would be stored in a separate wallet. The player could choose to pay for the game out of this wallet, deposit funds into their character's account, or transfer it into their external wallet to do whatever with. Traditionally mining pools also keep a cut for themselves, which is a third revenue stream.
The cool part about this is the game makes money while the user generates bitcoins, and the user will likely spend those bitcoins on the subscription or for in game items - creating more revenue. From the player perspective, they're playing for free (or at a discounted rate), or at least getting free loot. Since the game's economic focus will be on player-to-player trade, the game shouldn't feel too sleezey.
One thing I was worried about with this idea is rampant inflation. However, since the players are essentially using real money, they'd likely withdraw any significant piles of income to spend out side of the game (or to feed back in via subscription fees).
So we have a game that could theoretically be profitable. We have a model where some players could make money from the game, which if executed properly, would draw more players to the game. Now I just need a fun game. I have an idea for a 3 faction pvp based MMO with some novel mechanics, but I'm not a game designer. When it comes to balancing HP/Mana/damage/abilties/etc I'm hopelessly lost.
Since professional baseball money+a AAA game isn't enough to get an MMO out the door, I guess this business model is for someone with the fiscal means of shipping a game.

Ask the future employees if they will have your confidence or benefits?
I don't need to, because I know that they wont! I am fortunate, I realise that. I am part of the generation born a decade after the end of WW2 that has seen the best of the country. I have never been unemployed, but I have never rested on my laurels either.
We have become soft and weak in this country, the culture of living off the state has become engrained into the psyche of the nation, vast swathes of the working class have become parasites feeding off of the corpse of a once great country.
It was John Fitzgerald Kennedy who once said:
"ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country."
That is the essence of what ails us here, the work ethic has gone. People expect to be given money as if it were some God given right, the concept of work to them is a dirty word.
As I said earlier, before Beveridge you either worked or starved, that was the option. I suggest some people dwell on that truth, and be thankful nobody is suggesting the same option today!

We have been lucky living through times of plenty work and superannuated jobs - so why not ease up your idiotic rhetoric about people getting work, when times are now so vastly different.

Yes, there is.
Finding the right job is difficult.
Having the right skills for a rapidly changing world is difficult.
Having to make tough choices about disrupting your life to accept a job some way away is difficult.
But, there are people making those choices every day and, as a result, finding work.
Simply shouting 'There IS NO WORK AVAILABLE IN THIS COUNTRY ANY MORE' simply invites politicians to shout back 'LOOK HARDER'.

Good article from Brendan O'Neill in the Telegraph today. One particular paragraph in his blog stands out:
"In truth, the real dimwittery in this debate is among the confused and angry middle-class warriors for welfarism. They have simply failed, and failed miserably, to reckon with one of the iron laws of modern politics – which is that the more reliant you are on the welfare state, the more experience you have of it, the less you love it. And by extension, the further removed you are from the welfare state, the less experience you have of it, then the more you can fantasise about its virtues and grow to love it – or at least to love an imaginary version of it derived from watching Casualty and reading Polly Toynbee columns."
Brendan O'Neill is editor of the online magazine spiked and is a columnist for the Big Issue in London.

25 June 2013 07:15 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Teck Guan China is delaying a scheduled shutdown at its 100,000 tonne/year fatty alcohol plant in Jiangsu province by about two weeks to end-July or early August, a company source said on Tuesday.
The duration of the turnaround will remain unchanged at three to four weeks, the source said.
Teck Guan is pushing backing the scheduled catalyst change in order to meet the demand for mid-cut C12-14 fatty alcohol in the Chinese domestic market amid tight supply, the source said.
Supplies have fallen short of demand after Liaoning Huaxing Group Chemical Corp halted its fatty alcohol production unexpectedly at the end of April because of environmental issues.
It is unclear when Liaoning Huaxing will be able to resume operations.

moreThe multiliteracies approach to literacy education has become established as an accessible and effective paradigm for classroom practice in the 21st century. The Multiliteracies Classroom enlivens this theory with its vivid description of events in a real classroom. Teachers will identify with the lively transcripts of classroom interactions, and be inspired to widen students' access to new literacy practices in an increasingly digital and globalised world. The possibilities and constraints that can be encountered when implementing multiliteracies are explored in detail. Educators know from experience that students begin their classroom journey with entirely unequal opportunities for literacy success. The Multiliteracies Classroom does not ignore this reality, highlighting the influence of society's patterns of power on literacy learning in the digital age. Its key themes provide a blueprint for the future of literacy research and practice. less
