Twelve men wearing sweatshirts, thermals and knit caps sit at the edge of a freshly unearthed pile of bison bones on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. It's a cold October afternoon and there's work to do, but first things first. They need to pray.
"We'll pray for the people and the buffalo spirit that's been so good to us for thousands of years," says Blackfeet Tribal Preservation Officer John Murray. "We'll pray with this tobacco."
After completing the prayer, Murray and the other men place small wads of tobacco atop the hundreds of bones protruding from the earth and next to a small hunk of coal burning sweetgrass. In July, contractors working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs discovered the bones while excavating a water line for a new $22 million dormitory for the BIA-operated Cut Bank Creek Boarding School. The bones were a surprise, leaving Murray and his crew to conduct an emergency excavation.
"This is a salvage operation," he says.
Among the discoveries at the site are 40 intact bison skulls, scapulas, ribs and jawbones complete with massive incisors. Beads, arrowheads and stone tools are plentiful, too, including scrapers used to remove fur from hides. Among the most important finds was an iniskim, which the Blackfeet traditionally used as a prayer stone to aid in a bountiful bison hunt.
All together, the bones and artifacts constitute the remains of a bison processing operation that archaeologists believe dates back approximately 1,500 years. Murray's Tribal Preservation Office crew also discovered a shell casing manufactured in 1870, roughly 13 years before the Northern Plains bison were nearly killed off.
Archaeologists laud the discovery of the site for providing invaluable insights into how the Blackfeet people lived prior to the arrival of non-Native settlers.
"When you see it in the large picture, it's awesome, in the literal sense of the word," says María Nieves Zedeño, an archaeologist from the University of Arizona Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology and the first to identify the site as a processing operation.
But despite the significance of the discovery, its future remains in jeopardy. The BIA has not called off the dormitory project, as the Blackfeet have requested. The roughly $130,000 allocated by the bureau to conduct what Murray calls "reactive archaeology" has also run out.
In an effort to preserve the artifacts and learn as much as possible about how their ancestors lived, Murray's all-Blackfeet crew of resource field technicians is volunteering its time to excavate the site as quickly as possible. They're unsure when—or even if—time will run out because the BIA has yet to say how it intends to proceed. But based on the tribe's long-strained relationship with the federal government, Murray says he has little faith that the BIA will help him save this piece of Blackfeet history.
"I don't trust them," he says. "They've been running us over for a long time."
On July 8, Virgil "Puggy" Edwards hustled down to the Cut Bank Creek Boarding School after the Blackfeet Agency Superintendent alerted the Tribal Preservation Office that BIA contractors had found something. Edwards, a cultural resource field technician who works with Murray, estimates that the water line excavation unearthed 200 feet of bone-laden soil before contractors notified the tribe's superintendent. "I found bone material all along the water line," Edwards says.
On Sept. 17, the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council declared the processing site a traditional cultural property and voted to have the BIA shut down dormitory construction. The Blackfeet say that the BIA broke ground without sufficiently consulting tribal officials. They further allege that the bureau didn't thoroughly research the Cut Bank site's cultural significance, as mandated by the National Historic Preservation Act.
"What they're saying, in a sense, is that they don't have to follow federal law," Murray says.
In response to those claims, the BIA has produced a series of letters and emails sent during a two-year period prior to breaking ground on the dormitory. In one letter dated April 25, 2011, BIA Office of Facilities Management and Construction Deputy Director Emerson Eskeets informs the tribe that it is poised to investigate the potential impacts of a new dormitory "in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local codes."
Nearly a year later, on March 23, 2012, another letter provided by the BIA from Eskeets asks the Blackfeet if the tribe wants to hire contractors to construct the new dormitory or leave that responsibility to the Office of Facilities Management.
The bureau produced two additional letters discussing the historic relevance of two buildings associated with the boarding school.
To date, however, the bureau has not provided the Tribal Preservation Office or the Independent any documentation indicating that it researched the area's cultural history.
Murray and the archaeologists and anthropologists interviewed by the Independent say that had the BIA researched Cut Bank Creek, it would have found that in 1953 former Museum of the Plains Indian Curator Thomas Kehoe excavated what's called the Boarding School Bison Drive Site, roughly 75 yards from the recently discovered processing area. During that dig, Kehoe unearthed bones and tools that archaeologists estimate were used to hunt and process bison as many as 1,200 years ago.
University of Calgary archaeologist and professor emeritus Brian "Barney" Reeves notes that because the drive site marked the first major buffalo jump excavation of its kind in the Northwestern Plains, scientists commonly used it as a reference point. "It was a very key site for everybody to understand bison drives," he says.
When the Independent asked the BIA if it intends to go forward with the project, despite the Tribal Business Council's September decision to halt construction, bureau spokesperson Nedra Darling said in an emailed statement, "We have not had discussions with the Tribe regarding the completion of the dormitory project."
When responding to allegations that the bureau didn't comply with federal law prior to breaking ground, Darling said, "We met with the Tribe and understand the Tribe's concerns."
There's a 360-degree view from the bluff above Cut Bank Creek, where for hundreds of years Blackfeet hunters drove bison off of a small cliff and into a cottonwood corral. Before guns arrived in the West, hunters used the corral to corner the animals and better ensure that their arrows would hit their mark.
The bison hunt was a massive communal undertaking. Bison stand as tall as 6-and-a-half feet and weigh up to 1,800 pounds, meaning that wrangling a bison herd without horses and guns required skill, agility and a deep understanding of the animal's behavior.
The Blackfeet first erected rock cairns in a large V-shape on the prairie, forming "drive lanes" above the cliff. "Buffalo runners," who were typically young men, masked their scent with sage and animal fat to fool the bison's keen olfactory senses, and lured the bison toward the cliff using a variety of ploys. One trick, as Jack Brink writes in his book, Imagining Head-Smashed-In, was to don buffalo calfskin and imitate the sound of a calf's "plaintive bleating."
The mournful sound piqued the maternal instincts of female bison and prompted them to investigate. In doing so, as Brink writes, the mother buffalo would lead the herd into the "jaws of the trap."
The Blackfeet term for such a hunt is "pishkun." It loosely means "deep blood kettle."
For thousands of years, buffalo hunts sustained the Blackfeet. Prior to the arrival of white settlers, nearly every aspect of tribal life depended on bison. The animal's brain matter was used to tan buffalo hides, which were transformed into robes and teepees. Sinew was used for sewing; bones as tools.
In 1500, the U.S. government estimates that roughly 45 million bison inhabited North America. With new non-Native arrivals, however, came an influx of cattle and horses, which competed with bison for valuable grazing land. New railroads further disrupted the environment. Hunters and traders eager to profit used those railroads to ship bison hides east, where they were transformed into coats, blankets and machine belts.
The federal government never officially sanctioned a full-fledged extermination of bison. But high-ranking officials espoused it as a way to force the last Native American holdouts onto reservation lands. In doing so, they provided tacit approval of an all-out war against the animals.
"The buffalo are disappearing rapidly, but not faster than I desire," U.S. Interior Secretary Columbus Delano told Congress in 1874. "I regard the destruction of such game as Indians subsist upon as facilitating the policy of the government, of destroying their hunting habits, coercing them on reservations, and compelling them to begin to adopt the habits of civilization."
By 1883, the buffalo were nearly extinct and the Blackfeet had been confined to their reservation in northern Montana. Though allocated rations, the tribe rarely had enough to sustain themselves. The problem was further exacerbated by early season storms, which hindered deliveries to the reservation. That year, bacon arrived in Browning covered with maggots. It's estimated that 600 Blackfeet died in 1883, during what's referred to as the "Starvation Winter."
Murray says that the survivors of his great grandmother's generation didn't talk much about the hunger. They did say, however, that the government didn't accurately tally the deaths.
"The way the old people say," Murray recalls, "2,600 people starved to death."
At 66, Murray still walks with a swagger. He wears a black leather jacket and Wranglers. His long hair pokes out from underneath a baseball cap and a pack of Marlboro Reds sticks out of his jacket pocket.
Murray earned a master's degree in education from Montana State University and his diverse resume includes teaching at the Blackfeet Community College and a four-year stint as superintendent of the elite Blackfeet firefighting crew, the Chief Mountain Hot Shots. For the past nine years, he's worked as the tribe's preservation officer.
Murray's first experience with the BIA came in 1956, when he was sent to live at the bureau-run Cut Bank Boarding School. He still remembers the day the school administrator arrived at his family's two-room home to speak with his grandmother, who was then caring for him. Murray peered through the doorway, eavesdropping.
"I could see a leg sticking out, high-heeled, nylons," he recalls. "All I can remember of that conversation is that I should be at the boarding school because they had modern playgrounds."
Like dozens of other BIA-operated boarding schools, the one at Cut Bank Creek was guided by directives set by Col. Richard H. Pratt, who, as founder of the nation's first Indian boarding school, famously espoused killing the Indian to cultivate the man.
"A great general has said that the only good Indian is a dead one, and that high sanction of his destruction has been an enormous factor in promoting Indian massacres," Pratt told the 19th annual Conference on Charities and Correction in 1882. "In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only in this: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him, and save the man."
Murray says that when he arrived at the Cut Bank Creek Boarding School at 10 years old, Pratt's directive remained in effect. Children had their long hair forcibly cut. Murray's sister's locks were used to adorn a marionette. Blackfeet language and religion were forbidden. Violations drew discipline, including being forced to kneel on a broom handle for hours at a time.
Murray recalls sitting on the swings inside the playground that the female administrator used to lure him to Cut Bank Creek, and realizing how different the school was from where he came from.
Murray couldn't help thinking about the BIA's modern playground pitch in July, when members of the bureau's Office of Facilities Management and Construction arrived in Browning to celebrate a groundbreaking ceremony for the new dorm.
"The guy from OFMC, he gets up there and says, 'We're going to have a modern dormitory with modern technology,' and just like that," Murray snaps his fingers, "that conversation came back—modern playgrounds."
Today, chain-link fencing surrounds the Cut Bank Creek bison-processing site. To enter, one must pass an armed Blackfeet Security officer.
Judging by what archaeologist María Zedeño calls the "sea of thousands of bones" uncovered so far at the Cut Bank complex, she says that it was likely part of a sizeable trade operation. The fact that bone collectors haven't raided the Cut Bank site makes it especially rare.
During the late 1800s, bison bones, which were used in sugar processing, became a commodity. In 1884, they sold for roughly $10 a ton. During the 20th century, the phosphorous-rich bones became increasingly in demand. Used in fertilizer and also in explosives, eastern manufacturers eagerly purchased them from industrious western settlers.
Zedeño says that over the years, bone collectors have mined many of Montana's best-known bison jump sites. That's the case with what's now called the First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park near Great Falls and likely also the Kutoyis Bison Kill Site on the Blackfeet Reservation, which Zedeño helped to excavate with Murray's office.
While opportunists and businesspeople have significantly impacted sites like the First Peoples Buffalo Jump, the Cut Bank site remains largely intact. "In the recent excavation of the boarding school," Zedeño says, "they have found exactly what it should be … That is something that needs to be recorded."
Brian Reeves from the University of Calgary adds that because the most valuable artifacts discovered by Thomas Kehoe during the 1953 excavation have gone missing, extra attention should be taken to preserve this summer's discovery.
"I hope that they would require whoever's going to do this to make sure that an equivalent collection is acquired through excavation, to replace what has been lost," Reeves says.
Reeves led the excavation of Canada's Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, which the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization designated in 1981 as a World Heritage Site, a distinction shared by the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge and the Galapagos Islands.
It was during the course of conducting a study for the Kainai Nation in Alberta, a Blackfeet sister tribe, that Reeves learned the Kehoe artifacts had disappeared. Thomas Kehoe's ex-wife, Alice, told him that she had delivered the artifacts to the BIA office in Browning.
But when Reeves arrived at the BIA office, all that remained were a few bone tools in a box in an unsecured storeroom. "All the artifacts that were there were the bone tools," he says. "But all of the arrowheads and the stone tools of particular interest to me—to anybody—were not there."
When contacted by the Independent, Alice Kehoe, now 79, reiterated what she told Reeves: She delivered the artifacts to the BIA's Ramona Hall. "I turned them over on behalf of Tom Kehoe," Alice Kehoe says.
Hall denies receiving the delivery. "I never did have any artifacts at the agency," she says.
Reeves, who built his career working to preserve indigenous history, has a tough time containing his frustration when discussing his interaction with the BIA. The way the bureau has handled the Cut Bank Creek discoveries reminds him of the loss of the Kehoe artifacts.
"This is typical," he says.
Blackfeet Tribal Preservation crewmember Steve LaForge removes the caramel-colored iniskim delicately from its red pouch. The Blackfeet say because they are the only tribe to use the iniskim, finding the fossil here proves that they've lived on this land since time immemorial. Every morning, the crew says a prayer with the artifact and ask that their history be protected.
As part of the effort to preserve what remains of Blackfeet culture, the Tribal Business Council has asked the BIA to reconsider where it places the new dormitory. "We've got land available, infrastructure, everything," says council member Roger "Sassy" Running Crane. "It's just a matter of them saying, 'Hey okay, let's sit down at the table, let's see what we can do ..."
Running Crane says the tribe isn't looking for a fight, but they are prepared for one. The Blackfeet are aware of multiple legal precedents in their favor. When it comes to projects that stand to impact cultural resources, the federal government must reach a high bar when consulting with tribal governments.
In one example, the Pueblo of Sandia in argued that the government overlooked cultural properties in New Mexico's Las Huertas Canyon, where the Forest Service was in the process of reconstructing a road and expanding recreational amenities such as picnic areas and sanitary facilities. That 1995 case, Pueblo of Sandia v. the U.S. Forest Service, resulted in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals deciding that the Forest Service was required under the National Historic Preservation Act to "take into account the effect of [any] undertaking on any district site, building, structure or object that is included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register."
The Sandia had conducted religious ceremonies in the canyon, as well as gathered herbs and plants to use in traditional healing practices. The Forest Service argued that it attempted to consult with the Sandia, mailing letters to the tribe and individuals who were known to be familiar with the area's historic significance. Despite those efforts, the court found the government's level of work depends on the likelihood that a historical landmark might exist. The 10th circuit opined "that the Forest Service did not make a reasonable effort to identify historic properties."
Blackfeet officials say the BIA conducted even less outreach prior to embarking on the Cut Bank dormitory project than the Forest Service did in the Sandia case. They say the failure leaves them well positioned to sue if negotiations fall apart.
"If push comes to shove," Running Crane says, "you betcha we're going to litigate."
To compensate for damage done during the water line excavation, Murray is asking the bureau to fund a new Blackfeet cultural center and also a study of the surrounding cultural landscape. Murray's dream is to incorporate the findings into an educational curriculum, one wholly different from the schooling that he received.
He notes that while he was taught to feel ashamed about his roots, kids today are putting their Blackfeet names on their cars and license plates. The demonstrations leave Murray optimistic that there's a cultural renaissance underway among Blackfeet youth. "Our culture is fractured," he says, "but it's still intact."
Documenting the ingenuity and self-sufficiency employed by Blackfeet would fuel that resurgence, Murray says. That's why he can't help but feel protective as he looks out over the stalled dormitory project and the white foundation footings that rise up from the excavated earth.
"This right here is a slap in the face," Murray says. "They're still trying to civilize us."

To support their research endeavors, scientists must rely on the grant support they receive from institutions such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The application process for these grants is a tedious and time consuming process, which in the multidisciplinary field of nanobiotechnology, often involves scientists from different fields of expertise. These collaborations add an extra level of difficulty to the already lengthy process of submitting a successful proposal.
In an effort to maximize the possibilities for nanobiotechnology research at Johns Hopkins University, the Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT) not only brings faculty together but offers them help to prepare and submit nanobiotechnology related proposals.
"It's a great service we offer that fits in with the goal of the Institute," says Sue Porterfield, administrative manager at INBT. "Most of these multidisciplinary grants would take the faculty and their department administrators a lot of time to prepare."
Porterfield is the main force behind the proposal service. She estimates that she spends about 75 percent of her time preparing, submitting, and eventually administering the nanobio grants submitted through INBT.
Apparently, Porterfield has developed an effective system. Since INBT launched in May 2006, 36 percent of the proposals submitted through fiscal year 2007 were successfully awarded.
The numbers also show INBT's cross divisional dimensions. Thirty-four faculty members acted as primary investigators (PIs) or co-PIs, representing four different divisions within Johns Hopkins University: the School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and the Whiting School of Engineering.
If you would like to learn more about the grant proposal service or funding opportunities through INBT, contact Sue Porterfield at email@example.com.

Five-star Indianapolis power forward Trey Lyles, the top-rated player at his position in the Class of 2014, announced during a live ceremony on ESPNU that he will sign with the Wildcats.
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound Lyles picked UK over Louisville on his 18th birthday in one of the first major head-to-head recruiting battles between Calipari and the Cardinals' Rick Pitino.
"Just because of Coach Cal's record with players like me, what he's able to do with guys such as myself, and just getting us to that stage that we want to be at, which for me is the NBA," Lyles said of his decision.
"I want to be an all-star, and he's had a lot of guys who have been able to step up on that stage and become all-stars in the NBA. His overall pitch to me was just perfect."
The one-time Indiana Hoosier commitment had also considered offers from Florida, UCLA, Georgetown and Butler. His play style has been compared by some analysts to a former Duke and current Chicago Bulls power forward Carlos Boozer.
"Where Lyles is impressive is on the offensive end," said FOX Sports national basketball analyst Evan Daniels. "He's arguably the most skilled power forward in the 2014 class. He can score in a variety of ways both facing the rim and with his back to the basket.
"Lyles has great touch around the basket and a variety of moves on the block. His shot is consistent from both mid-range and from three off the catch."
Lyles, who recently attended Big Blue Madness, gives UK four players on the commitment board for 2014. He joins five-star New Jersey center/forward Karl Towns Jr., four-star Chicago point guard Tyler Ulis and four-star Mississippi shooting guard Devin Booker.
Since being named UK's head coach in 2009, Calipari has now landed 21 five-star commitments.
The addition of Lyles pushed the Wildcats to the No. 1 spot in the Scout and FOX Sports Next national team recruiting rankings, jumping ahead of North Carolina and Ohio State.
"With the Lyles pick up, Kentucky currently has the best recruiting class in the country," Daniels said. "Their two post players are both skilled and effective scoring weapons inside, to go with two multi-year guards that can help them right away. Great group for the Cats."
Two major UK targets have yet to make their college decisions. Five-star California small forward Stanley Johnson and five-star Texas center Myles Turner are the top 2014 prospects still thought to be seriously considering the Wildcats at this stage in their recruitments.

What makes this book different from others on database design? Many resources on design practice do little to explain the underlying theory, and books on design theory are aimed primarily at theoreticians. In this book, renowned expert Chris Date bridges the gap by introducing design theory in ways practitioners can understand—drawing on lessons learned over four decades of experience to demonstrate why proper database design is so critical in the first place.
Every chapter includes a set of exercises that show how to apply the theoretical ideas in practice, provide additional information, or ask you to prove some simple theoretical result. If you're a database professional familiar with the relational model, and have more than a passing interest in database design, this book is for you.
Questions this book answers include:
Databases often stay in production for decades, and careful design is critical for avoiding subtle errors and processing problems over time. If they're badly designed, the negative impacts can be incredibly widespread. This gentle introduction shows you how to use important theoretical results to create good database designs.
C.J. Date has a stature that is unique within the database industry. C.J. is a prolific writer, and is well-known for his best-selling textbook: An Introduction to Database Systems (Addison Wesley). C.J. is an exceptionally clear-thinking writer who can lay out principles and theory in a way easily understood by his audience.

But yesterday a small surprise. The Speaker began the session by announcing that he was issuing a warrant for the election of a member for Sedgefield "in the room [sic] of the Rt Hon Anthony Charles Lynton Blair, who since his election hath accepted the office of steward or bailiff of Her Majesty's three Chiltern hundreds of Stoke, Desborough and Burnham in the county of Buckingham".
And we all thought he was going to Jerusalem to sort out the most desperately violent people on the planet! A colleague reminds me that this stuff about the Chilterns is the ancient formula for anyone leaving the Commons, since it is technically "an office of profit under the crown" for which MPs are ineligible. So he is leaving the house. How will we tell?
Jack Straw, the leader of the house, appeared to tell us what was on the agenda for next week. We all knew that he was about to become minister of justice, but he affected to be unaware. "I really enjoy this job, and I am ready to go on and on and on," he said - meaning, as it happened, on and on and on until lunchtime. Theresa May complained that she had heard on the TV news that Harriet Harman was about to replace him. She would then be deputy leader of the Labour party, chair of the Labour party, and leader of the house. Wasn't "three hats Harman" going too far? She is also to be minister for women, a fourth hat!
Then we raced back to catch the latest cabinet postings. The bores were back in town. Ms Harman, of course. Des Browne - astoundingly the only person in an unchanged job, defence secretary.
John Hutton, a bore's bore, a true titan of tedium, is now the industry secretary, replacing Mr Darling, which, for one of the greatest snore-makers, is like a parish priest getting the new Pope's last job.
Jacqui Smith - who? She used to be chief whip. Now she is home secretary, and has to make sure that we and all our loved ones can sleep easy despite the threat of suicide bombers. As one expert said: "For anyone who has been Labour party chief whip, al-Qaida will hold no terrors. I'd face Bin Laden before Bob Marshall-Andrews any day."

tolls needed: 10mm, T10/T27 torq driver, 10mm allen wrench or allen socket, and small flat head for a connector tab
1st things 1st DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, avoid any chance of the air bag accidentally going off. Once thats done, center the wheel and remove the 2 10mm bolts that hold the air bag in place. I actually squeezed a socket wrench behind there until I could loosen it by finger with just the socket. Once those 2 bolts are out, the air bag will be free, lean it forward enough to access the 4 connections to free the air bag completely. I used a small flat head for the top black connector, just slide it under and it pulls right apart(careful, they're small and fragile) Bottom white connector comes apart easy, push tab and pull... and the 2(black/yellow) tabs pop out easy, squeeze and pull.
With the air bag out of the way comes the fun part. I used a 10mm allen wrench with a 10mm socket on an extender as a breaker bar, you can also use a 10mm socket here on a wrench which I think your supposed to
...anyway, the bolt has lock tite on it, so she'll need to be pulled pretty good. once thats out, the wheel will come right off now, just feed the clock spring wires through the hole, and on to the clock spring. The only real trick here, is to line up the holes for the T10 driver and loosen but DO NOT REMOVE THEM! It will unwind the clock spring(kinda like a pull start, ask me how I know, LOL)Your just freeing them from the mounting holes. An easy guide would be to not pass the heads out of the top cover holes(simple enough)
Once those are free, you'll need the T27 driver under the steering wheel there's an access hole to the set screw. Just loosen that all the way out(it won't fall out) and everything's disconnected now. To completely free the clock spring, I used a short flat head to gently pry it forward, just kinda worked it around under both clock spring covers(get under it) Eventually it'll free it up and off....and thats it! Line up the electrical connectors nice n easy, it'll slide right in when you got it right, the 3 mounting holes should be in line, tighten it down, tighten the set screw under the wheel and put it back together. Feed the wires through the wheel
tighten center bolt, air bag connections and the last 2 wheel bolts.

Nice write-up D.
I am going to move this into the Misc. Tech Article section for now (until we expand the categories to be more descriptive).
Not to sound dumb, but what is a clockspring and what does it do????????????
And why should we be playing with it?????????

The clock spring is the device that self cancels the turn signal after the turn is completed. I was told that it also gives steering wheel position feedback to the CPU. Typically what fails is the self cancel feature and not the position feedback.
Sent from my Phone!
Big THANKS to HellsFire!!
Thanks for the positive feedback guys, I'm going to find the new part I found online for anyone and compare what I did different form the write up I seen(less work)
I realize now that the set screw on the bottom(T27) was to remove the whole cylinder from the column, the part with the stalks connected, that's not necessary for just replacing the clock spring.
heres the part:

I haven't heard that it will be required set up the car on a computer in order to eliminate the seatbelt light from staying on, you know about that?
Clockspring does not engage or cancel turn signals, it's the mechanical tabs in the middle that engage with the turn signal lever catch, see pictures above, they are integrated in the clockspring housing but the clockspring (wiring) "itself" has noting to do with that as current for turn lights is not passing through the clockspring.
Clockspring housing has several cutouts on the sides to work together with the steering wheel optical position sensor (mounted in the column housing below) allowing PCM to determine steering wheeel position and centering.
With some care (and skill) clockspring may be disassembled (halved - exposing the spring itself) and successfully repaired (broken wire, connector etc). Suspicious clockspring if mechanically sound may/should be checked for continuity (usually fail around connectors). I'm not recommending that to everyone but repair is doable without causing any damage.

So since I never use my turn signals, my clock spring should last forever?????????????????

Your Guide To Video Highlights Of Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011
Posted by Harley Manning on July 15, 2011
- 659 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Over the past few weeks, Paul Hagen, Kerry Bodine, and I have been posting our takes on Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011. We've included video of moments we like from 10 out of the 11 main-stage sessions (sadly, we don't have video of the Voice Of The Customer Awards, but at least we have a list of the winners!).
To give attendees and others an easy way to find the moments that matter to them, I've assembled this guide to our posts about the event. If you find these posts interesting, you can jump into the discussions that started at the forum in our online Forrester Community For Customer Experience Professionals.
"Customer Experience Is Personal"
Harley Manning, Vice President, Research Director, Forrester Research
Here's the man-on-the-street video I used in my opening remarks. We took a camera crew to Harvard Square and asked people to describe their best and worst customer experiences. Yikes!
"What Is the Right Customer Experience Strategy For Your Company?"
Paul Hagen, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
What is a customer experience strategy? What is it good for? How can you recognize a good one? Hear Paul's answer, which sets the theme for the rest of the event.
"A Relentless Focus On Members"
Wayne Peacock, Executive Vice President, Member Experience, USAA
USAA was the top performer in three different categories of our Customer Experience Index, 2011. Wayne, who serves as the firm's chief customer officer, tells how the company did it.
"Database Marketing's Role In Defining Customer Experience"
Nick Primola, Senior Vice President, Director of Direct Marketing at Citizens Financial Group
Here's an interesting perspective on customer experience from a leader at a bank that does a pretty good job of it (I have family members who are customers).
"A Conversation With Chief Customer Officers"
Host: Harley Manning, Vice President, Research Director, Forrester Research
Panelists, including: James Merlino, M.D., Chief Experience Officer, Cleveland Clinic; Jeff Harvey, Senior Vice President, Customer Operations, SAP North America
This is the second time we've had a panel of chief customer officers on our main stage. As they spoke, their similarities and differences emerged. It's fascinating group that I feel privileged to know.
"Improving The In-Store Customer Experience: Our Retail Transformation Journey"
Kevin Peters, President, North American Retail Division, Office Depot
Kevin gave one of the best speeches I have ever seen anywhere. Based on audience ratings, our attendees agreed. Enjoy!
"Winners Of Forrester's Voice Of The Customer Awards, 2011"
Victoria Bough, Vice President, Practice Leader, Customer Experience, Forrester Research
The original post by Forrester analyst Andrew McInnes lists the top 10 finalists, which includes our three overall winners. It provides brief descriptions of why they won.
"The Customer Experience Ecosystem"
Kerry Bodine, Vice President, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
Bid idea! Kerry outlines a new approach to customer experience management that considers the influence of every single employee and external partner on every single customer interaction. Fans of way-cool visual communication can also see an illustration that captures the flow of her speech.
"A Customer-Driven Approach To Service"
James P. Bush, Executive Vice President, World Service, American Express
We are so incredibly impressed with how American Express transformed its call center customer experience as well as the business results it produced. Jim describes how it did it.
Robert J. Deluce, President and Chief Executive Officer, Porter Airlines
I love flying Porter Airlines, which has a meticulously designed customer experience that blows me away. We were lucky enough to get CEO Bob Deluce to talk about it.
"The Marriage Of Web and Customer Relations: A Customer Experience Even A Grandmother Would Love"
David Dentry, General Manager, Customer Relations, Nikon
What do you do if you're in charge of both call center customer experience and website customer experience? Consult your grandmother!

Mint Julep Pie
Mint Juleps are a cocktail that is a tradition at the Kentucky Derby, which is run at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May every year.

Mojito Cookies
Mojitos are one of my favorite cocktails. They are made by muddling fresh mint leaves and sugar at the bottom of a highball glass, adding ice and then topping the mint mixture with rum, lime juice and soda water. Because of the mint and the lime juice, the cocktail is very refreshing – so refreshing that I'll even add some mint to my homemade limeade ... Read More »

Ice cream cakes are one of the best summertime desserts out there.

Costume Photos
Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|9 months
|This is the first cosplay I made which I made things by scratch. The Cloud bracelets, armour and boots were all done by me, whether it was the papermacheing or the painting. The belt and bead pendant was done by my sister, and the sword was thanks to my wonderful dad. This the third cosplay I did and as you can see, I'm slowly but surely improving in making things. Before I was terrible, never papermached before so was quite chuffed with the results. I might do this cosplay again but I am very happy with the results. For me, I was more successful cosplaying this version of Cloud than Advent Children. One improvement with the help of my sister I'd like to do, is improve the belt and strap and this was not held very well together.
Looking good dude looking good!
Very nicely done. You're first made cosplay is one to be very proud of and on top of it it's a unique variation (don't think I've seen this version cosplayed before), so double points for that :D
Awesome Amano Cloudy Adam!!! You suited so well!!! <3
@Manticore: Thankyou, this was the second cosplay I met you in if I remember funnily enough, you were Waaka, last time you were doing a Bleach character. Thankyou!!!
@j_mercuryuk: That's very true, when I finished making this cosplay it was very special because I contributed to making it rather than just buying it. Double points!!?? Your so generous and sweet, thankyou so much!!!
@Kaerith: Thankyou Kaerith, thanks for making sure I didn't faint on the masquerade with your healing magic :DDD
aws kl cloud cosplay =) I do advent children tifa ;) so yer hello from tifa XD

Man Accused of Giving Abortion Drug to Take Plea
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A Tampa man is scheduled to plead guilty to tricking his pregnant ex-girlfriend into taking a pill he believed would cause her to have a miscarriage.
John Welden is scheduled to plead guilty Monday in federal court to tampering with a consumer product and conspiracy to commit mail fraud. He faced a possible life sentence if convicted of his original charge, killing an unborn child.
Remee Jo Lee and her attorney - along with federal prosecutors - say Welden forged a signature on a prescription for Cytotec and relabeled a pill bottle as "Amoxicillin." Cytotec is used to induce labor.
Welden allegedly forged the signature of his father, who is a doctor. Welden's father has not been accused of wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime.

The 2012 Navigation CDs.
Hello everyone, I was wondering how does the GPS look on the new BMW CD's. I have a 2006 and the GPS looks extremely poor compared to even the simpliest GPS systems. I was wondering if it was worth buying a CD to update or if the graphics are still horrible.
They arent going to change much ull get new maps and street names and for preface lift models u get clouds in the sky. Lol. Even software update doesnt do much
So is it worth it in your opinion? The roads I use never change much so I dont really need it but id prefer it to look halfway decent.
Maybe in ur case its not worth it. Even when i use my gps i never look at the map i look at speedo where it shows turn by turn. U use perspective view on ur map right?
Nope! I dont think so atleast..
Ok just joined and looking at this thread I have to ask, I have a trunk mounted DVD NAV on my 2008 750 with a 2006 Disk. Other than street updates, what are the other benefits to a 2012 disk and do you have to update software? Also can you recommend who to buy 2012 disk from. Thanks
Dealership I do know...
Google it I am sure maps are a big update I'd assume

Shower handles turned off but water still dripping
Super sorry for not knowing all the right terminology for parts, but I will try!:(
I have a double handle shower (1 for hot and 1 for cold). When I turn the water off (both nozzles turned as far to the right as they can go), the water still drips from the spout (or from the shower if I pull up the lever on the spout to start the shower).
How do I find out where the problem is?
Thanks so much for any advise. :)
One of the O-rings in a cartridge has most likely broken and is now letting water through while the valve is in the "OFF" position. It may be the hot side or cold side, but cartridges are pretty cheap or even free (depending on manufacturer), so replace both of them.
Got a picture?
Going to have to shut off the water supply, remove the handles, remove the trim ring, then remove the valve stems so the washers can be replaced.
Most will require a special wrench to remove the stem.
I replaced the valve stems last year. Do you think it is just the washers? I have extra black rings (looks like rubber washers) from that replace.
How do I add a picture? When I clicked on icon it asked for url
1 Attachment(s)
I am trying to add a picture of the faucet...hope this works :confused1:
As old as that looks it may also be the seats that need to be ground or changed.

text: Health officials say there shouldn't be a shortage of flu shots this season. Unlike last year, health officials say the influenza vaccine is available to anyone over the age of six-months and will be available in a single dose. Last year the Maine CDC had to prioritize who received vaccine for most of the flu season.This year's vaccine has 3 strains of the influenza virus according to state epidemiologist Dr. Stephen Sears. "This year it's one shot. The shot actually contains the H1N1 that we saw last year and strains called H2N3 that we've seen before and influenza B. That's typically what we see in seasonal influenza vaccine. 3 of the viruses together," he says.Inland Hospital in Waterville had one of their first clinics on Tuesday where there was a steady stream of employees and folks from the public wanting the shot. The H1N1 Flu claimed the lives of 21 people in Maine last season. Every year, however, the seasonal flu kills between 20,000 and 36,000 people in the United States.For more information on influenza click here.For more information on Inland Hospital's flu shot clinics click here.

Dont You Wish Your Girlfriend Could Make You Famous?
You probably know Samantha Ronson better for her tabloid magazines and gossip site notoriety than for her skills as a DJ. For a while, even we played a game of is-she-or-is-she-not when her seemingly 24/7 companion, fallen starlet Lindsay Lohan, fueled speculation the two were romantically involved. And when the truth was finally revealed, Lohans status as a disgraced American sweetheart vagina flashes, coke binges, and DUIs will do that to you led to very little surprise she, er, swung that way.
But if anything good came of Ronson's tumultuous relationship with Lohan, it was definitely the exposure. Despite Ronsons familial celeb connections her brother is DJ/producer Mark Ronson and her sister is designer Charlotte Ronson she still didn't gain her current state of fame until being coupled with Lohan, which made her a household name.
So when she spins at the G by Guess Ultimate Remix Tour this Friday at the Ramblas Plaza at Dolphin Mall, be sure to expect a big turnout. Are the crowds there to hear her DJ? Probably not. But don't expect a cameo by Lohan they broke up earlier this year. Do expect local DJ Troy Kurtz and special guest emcee DJ Irie. And all of this for free. Party starts at 8:30 p.m., no RSVP required.

How can I get my cat back from a neighbor?Q:
In New York, do I have any recourse against a neighbor who stole our cat?A:
It is illegal to steal another person's cat. I suggest contacting the police and local humane organizations, such as a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (SPCA). In NY, many SPCA's enforce animal cruelty and related laws. Be prepared to prove that the cat was yours. If law enforcement refuses to take action, one can also commence a civil action for the return of an animal.

Machete Kills is one of the biggest box office flops of the year, and even debuted with one of the worst opening weekends of all time. But maybe it will find its audience on home video, where people who hated the original (such as myself) might be compelled to give it a look.
We can confirm that Robert Rodriguez's Machete Kills is headed for Blu-ray and DVD on January 21, 2014 courtesy of Universal Studios. Fans can own an increasingly-standard Blu-ray combo pack that includes a Blu-ray, DVD, and Ultraviolet digital copy of the action sequel. Those of you looking to own a digital-only copy may do so a few weeks earlier on January 7, 2014.
From the Press Release
Danny Trejo (Grindhouse, Machete) returns as legendary ex-Federale Machete Cortez in this action-packed thrill ride from innovative director Robert Rodriguez. In his latest mission, Machete is recruited by the U.S. President (Charlie Sheen/Carlos Estevez; Anger Management, Two and a Half Men) to stop a crazed global terrorist (Mel Gibson; Braveheart, Edge of Darkness) from starting a nuclear war. With a bounty on his head, Machete breaks all the rules as he faces death at every turn from an all-star cast of deadly assassins.
Featuring Michelle Rodriguez (Fast & Furious 6), Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family"), Amber Heard (The Rum Diary), Antonio Banderas (Puss in Boots), Cuba Gooding Jr. (The Butler), and Demian Bichir (A Better Life), Machete Kills is one of the wildest save-the-world adventures ever captured on film.
The Blu-ray™ Combo Pack includes a Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD with UltraViolet.
Bonus Features on Blu-ray and DVD

A week on the ranch (October 19 - October 25, 2009)
by, 10-26-2009 at 11:05 AM (5590 Views)
Summer just doesn't want to give up. Another week of spring-like weather, and the grass in the pastures is growing like mad. It is amazing how quickly the landscape went from brown to green!
I was gone for several days this week, in Las Vegas on a business trip, so my sister and mother watched the house/animals for me. When I came home, I couldn't believe the number of soft drink bottles, prepared meal boxes, and popcorn bags that were in the trash!! You'd have thought they were here all week!! (They stayed a little over 24 hours.)
It is "that time of year" again for the goats. My girls are looking longingly up at my neighbor's billy goats and are crying piteously to be let out of the pasture. This lasts a few weeks, and then everyone is back to normal again, but WHILE it lasts, everyone is tense. I worry about the billy goats breaking into my property again, and the girls get stressed out and try to get out, and CRY all day. Women and their hormones....
I have been preparing for winter as best as I can, bringing my potted herbs into the house so they'll survive, covering my precious blood orange tree that I started from a seed a few years back, setting up heat lamps in the chicken coop and trying to figure out a way to keep the birds' rooms warm without space heaters. (I don't like the forced air and what it does to their skin.) My sister uses radiant heat panels for her birds but they are a bit pricey, so I may just rig up something with the heatlamps.
The great weight loss challenge is going well - not as well as I hoped, but at least I am going the right direction. I have lost 12.8 pounds this year!! I am hoping to make my goal of 20 pounds by the end of the year, which will make it probably the first year EVER that I've weighed less at the end of the year than I did at the beginning!
Speaking of great challenges, I have started Phase 2 of Operation "Here Kitty Kitty" with Schroedinger. I have started feeding her in the bathroom, rather than on the deck. So she has to come inside the house to eat now. So far, it is working, although I had hoped she might want to explore further inside. Rather, she eats, then steps just outside the door to do her grooming. We'll see what happens when the rain starts (which is typically when she vanishes).
I heard from the wildlife rehabber coordinator, and I am picking up my packet of information and supplies this coming week, after I will be ready for my first ward. It will just be a matter of waiting for a call from my mentor when a bird comes in, so I can assist her in triage and learn how to do it.
I may also be fostering two young female Chihuahuas. I'll find out soon, but right now, it looks like they may be coming here for a few weeks. One is only five months old, and the other is a year old. Their owners tried to dump them at the pound, but didn't want to spend the $40 surrender fee!! A local rescue is working on finding a long-term foster for the girls, but until they do, I might be giving them a safe place to wait. (The couple basically blackmailed the rescue by saying they were just going to list the dogs for free on Craigslist, pretty much guaranteeing the dogs would either be snatched up by a backyard breeder of as bait for a fighting dog.)
Well, that is all that is going on this week. It has been a peacefully slow week on the ranch, and I'll take them when I get them!

I love YouTube! It makes my blogging easier by just posting videos while I'm caught up with work.
This one is about Goodyear's new Assurance Fuel Max tire, which was launched in North America last year. The tire features a proprietary fuel-saving tread compound that helps reduce energy loss as the tire rolls, so less gas is required to keep the tire rolling. Goodyear said 4% fuel improvement is gained using the Fuel Max tires meaning drivers can save 2,600 miles worth of gas over the life of a set of 4 tires.
The tires are being incorporated in 2011 Chevrolet Volt, 2010 Ford Fusion S, and 2010 Toyota Prius.
Also in this video, Goodyear mentioned their development in collaboration with enzyme company Genencor on Bio-isoprene. The chemical isoprene is used for the production of synthetic rubber for tire manufacture. Commercialization of tires made from the renewable-based isoprene is expected within the next five years.
