How do I write my 15 pages thesis paper?
Hi, I am living in Canada, and I am pursuing my master's degree. Environmental science and technology is my subject. Our tutor assigned me thesis paper topic on environmental research and I don't know what to do. It is very much risky for me to complete 15 pages thesis paper. Now the only one way in front of me is seeking the help of any thesis paper writing service to do my assignment. I don't know what will be the end result, because there are many fake writing services existing online. I think the reviews from real customers can help me to find out a good one. Looking forward to hear from you guys.

Re: How do I write my 15 pages thesis paper?
As you said, the online space is full of fakers. Out of 10 websites, only less than 5 will be genuine. Hence, you should be extra careful in order to order your thesis paper online. Since you are in Canada, it would be better for you to seek the help of USA essay writing services. Firstly, be sure that they are located USA. If you order thesis from UK and Australia, there would be slight changes in the language used. However, if the writing service has writers from all these countries, you can make use of them as well. Go to google and start searching essay writing services reviews as well. You will definitely get the most appropriate one.

Re: How do I write my 15 pages thesis paper?
Firstly, I will tell you that this is not an easy task. I am not frightening you. But telling the truth. Because, a thesis paper is not an ordinary essay. Last year, I had to submit a thesis to my professor. It was of 25 pages. I generally write myself. I have written many essays and research papers for the last 3 years. So, I thought that I can write thesis easily. But, later I knew that this is different. My professor rejected it saying that this does not seem to be a thesis paper at all. Thesis paper has to follow many strict rues. Unfortunately, I do not know it correctly. i approached a custom essay writing service. You can do the same thing if you wish so. If you get some useful tips here, you can relay upon them to bring about with your own thesis paper.
Re: How do I write my 15 pages thesis paper?
It is not that difficult as you think. Go to the website of several American universities. All of them have given detailed analysis on essay writing. Various articles will give you an idea on the ways to wrote a thesis paper. These articles have been prepared by expert professors,and hence, they will help you in writing the paper systematically. Write the essay without failing any aspect listed in it. Also, if you have any doubt, feel free to ask your professors as well. I do not think they will send you away. 15 page thesis is relatively short. So, do not worry. Try to do it yourself.

I have a Honda (yes a 4 banger) and I feel like if I have ANY decent (mainly exterior) mods that aren't OEM on it or don't have a VTEC engine, someone will call rice on it. I'm not all about caring what others think but I don't want my car fucked with because I have some mods to make it look a little better. I'm not going to put "JDM" stickers or think I'm JDM as fuck or anything, just don't like the completely stock look. Anyways, what's YOUR definition of a ricer?

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
I am rebuilding an old camper trailer. It had a Homeline HOM6-12L100 breaker box in it. Unfortunately, I neglected to draw out how everything was hooked together before I pulled it all apart. I have had EXCEEDING difficulty... actually, it has been impossible to find something so simple as a legible wiring diagram/photograph that I can use. Now, I have 120v input, NOT 240v. Ordinary, three wire (black, white, green) 120v input. NOT 3 plus ground. Currently, there is a double 30A breaker and two 15A single breakers installed. The two bus bars are connected with a jumper wire. If someone could show me where the 120v input black, white, and ground wires should go, and then where the individual receptacle/light circuit wires connect (I'm using 12-2 wg wire), I would greatly appreciate it. ;-)
Hi mt name is XXXXX XXXXX I will be happy to help you.So you are wanting to hook the panel up at 120 right?Where the bus bar has a jumper, that should be where you you hook the main hot up which is the black. There should be to places where the jumper is hooked on each end and two screws that tighten down to hold the wires in place so they don't move. Hook the black wire to either side of the jumper, the jumper is there because you are not using 240v. You have a neutral and a ground left, is there neutral and ground bars in the panel where the breaker neutrals & grounds was or hooked up or did you take them apart also? They need to be hooked up to them bar, all the blacks go to the breakers and the neutrals and grounds go on the two bars that have srews that tighten the wires down. To tell which one is the neutral bar and what one is the ground bar, the ground bar should have a little copper bar that goes from the bar itself and is mounted to the panel so that it grounds the panel out. If you see this the other bar will be the neutral bar and that is where the main neutral goes and the neutrals from the breakers.This might be confusing a little if it is maybe you could take a picture then I can make out a diagram for you so it will be much easier.
Here is a poor photo of what I have now. It was never pretty, but it did function.
Was the double 30A breaker acting as a "main breaker"?
Since bare copper is in the bar at the top, I can presume that this was used as a ground bar. There is no "neutral bar".
The input is basically a heavy extension cord with a normal type plug on the end. Plug it in, and you have power. Three wires, black, white, and green/ground
It was definitely a mess.
What I am finding out is that perhaps what I should do is to ditch the 30A double breaker, put my black input wire to the busbars, with the jumper wire connecting them, and then connect my white input to the bar at the top, using that bar for neutral, with all the white wires from each light/receptacle circuit going to that bar, and then add a ground bar for all the ground wires to attach to. Does this sound correct?
Yea its hard to see anything with that picture but does help, yes do away with that double 30 because it does no good without 240v. Hook the neutrals up as you said and to the looks of it that buying a ground bar is your best bet because it seems that there is not much room to put all your wires on. You could hook the grounds in with the neutrals and it would work fine but it is against code because this panel should be considered a disconnect panel. Your best bet is to go buy a ground bar and get some self tapper screws and mount the bar anywhere in there doesnt matter where aslong as it is mounted to the panel and that way it will be easier to hook the grounds up.
Ok, thank you!
No problem if you need anything else just let me know
If you can please give me a feedback I would appreciate it.

Ivor FrancisEdit
I have no proof of this, but I believe "Ivor Prime" was named for Jonathan Frakes's father-in-law, the actor Ivor Francis. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk).
- If you don't have any proof, should it really be added? ;) --From Andoria with Love 02:11, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- It should be looked into, since Frakes was the director, it is a definite possibility. --OuroborosCobra talk 02:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed. :) --From Andoria with Love 07:44, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- It certainly doesn't look promising. When doing a Google search for both "Ivor Prime" and "Ivor Francis" together, the only result is... this talk page. This might be something which Jonathan Frakes or someone else on the production staff needs to be asked directly. :/ --From Andoria with Love 07:59, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Defiant Saddam pleads not guilty as trial begins
Page Tools
A DEFIANT Saddam Hussein has gone on the offensive at the opening of his trial for crimes against humanity, refusing to give his name, challenging the legitimacy of the court and pleading "not guilty" to the crimes allegedly committed two decades ago.
Grey-bearded and wearing a dark jacket over an open-necked white shirt, Saddam hectored the chief judge from his seat inside a white metal pen in a tightly secured courtroom in the former headquarters of his Baath Party.
Asked his name by the judge, Saddam, 68, shot back: "You know me. You are an Iraqi and you know who I am.
"I won't answer to this so-called court . . . Who are you? What are you? The occupation is illegitimate. I retain my constitutional rights as the president of Iraq."
The judge said: "You are Saddam Hussein al-Majid . . . former president of Iraq," at which point Saddam raised his finger to interrupt, saying: "I did not say former president."
Shortly afterwards, the judge informed Saddam and seven co-defendants that the charges included murder, torture and forced expulsion. He said the crimes could carry the death penalty, and informed them of their rights, including that of a fair trial.
Asked to plead, each in turn, Saddam first, said: "Not guilty".
Chief judge Rizgar Mohammed Amin, a Kurd, presided from a dais looking down on the defendants. Bronze-coloured scales of justice hung behind the judges.
"This is the first session of case number one, the case of Dujail," Judge Amin told the court at the start, referring to the town where bloody reprisals against more than 140 Shiite Muslim men followed an attempt on Saddam's life on July 8, 1982.
Nearly two years after he was found hiding in a hole in the ground near where he was born, Saddam and the seven other members of his now-defunct Baath Party are on trial for those events.
Prosecutors will try to show that Saddam, in retaliation for the botched assassination attempt, ordered his henchmen to hunt down, torture and kill scores of men from Dujail in the days, weeks and years that followed.
Starting the session, Judge Amin called the defendants into the room one by one. Saddam was the last to enter, escorted by two Iraqi guards who guided him by the elbow. He glanced at journalists watching through bulletproof glass from an adjoining room. He motioned for his escorts to slow down a little.
He greeted his co-defendants, saying "Peace be upon you" and sat down next to Awad Hamed al-Bandar, former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, which passed death sentences on some of the alleged victims in the case.
The other defendants include Saddam's former intelligence chief, Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti, former vice-president Taha Yassin Ramadan and other lower-level Baathist civil servants.
Ramadan also refused to identify himself to the judge. "I repeat what president Saddam Hussein has said," he said. The other defendants agreed to state their names.
Iraq's new Government, led by long-time enemies of Saddam and looking for popularity ahead of elections in December, hopes the trial will boost the morale of Iraqis struggling against the hardships of the insurgency two-and-a-half years after the war began.
But, as expected, the opening proceedings were brief, and the trial was adjourned until November 28. Saddam's lawyer had said he would seek an adjournment, arguing that he had insufficient time to prepare.
Human rights groups have expressed unease about perceptions of "victor's justice", warning that the trial must not only be fair, but be seen to be fair, and raised concerns about the legitimacy of a body set up during US occupation. In London, legal expert and barrister Jonathan Goldberg cast doubt on the proceedings. "It's probably not a fair trial by American or European standards," he said.
· A British newspaper journalist has been kidnapped in Iraq. Rory Carroll, 33, Baghdad correspondent for The Guardian, was reportedly abducted by armed men as he left a house after watching the trial of Saddam Hussein on television with an Iraqi family.

Waste Cleanup
The Waste Cleanup Section is basically a "Mini-CERCLA" or Superfund Section. We work on cleaning up sites with contaminated groundwater, soil, and/or surface water. Most of our sites were contaminated prior to the enactment of environmental regulations or the source of contamination is unknown. We deal with a wide variety of contaminants, but the predominant contaminants are solvent from drycleaners, paint manufacturers and industrial degreasing operations, pesticides from old manufacturing facilities, pesticide mixing areas and golf courses, fertilizer from manufacturing facilities or accidental spills, coal tar from old manufactures gas plants, metals from plating industries, and an assortment of contaminants including methane from old landfills. We also deal with junk yards, auto shredding operations, old lead battery waste, buried drums, etc.

Starting over with a new family
Options for handling finances in a second marriage
When remarriage creates a stepfamily, it's extremely likely that money will become an issue in your new life. You both bring financial resources into the relationship and need to determine how best to handle them in your new situation.
Generally the best way to handle family finances is the one you're most comfortable with – not only from a financial standpoint but also from one of trust, commitment to the relationship and the likelihood you'll stay together permanently. Here are your options:
1. Keeping your money separate
There are benefits to keeping your money separate:
- You maintain the ability to make financial choices without having to ask your partner.
- You can avoid future money disputes if the relationship doesn't work out.
- You aren't financially dependent on your partner.
- There's a good chance that sharing expenses is unfair to you. If your income and child support doesn't equal your partner's, a larger percentage of your income will go toward paying household expenses.
2. Combining your resources
A joint account only works if you make financial decisions together. If one partner dominates money matters or takes advantage of shared finances, it could lead to resentment. Here are ways to help avoid trouble:
- Keep a record of monthly expenses.
- Decide who's going to pay the bills and which expenses will be paid from your joint account.
- Decide how much money each of you can withdraw from the joint account without asking permission.
3. A blend of both
Benefits of having joint and separate accounts include:
- Each of you can contribute to paying household expenses in a way that's proportional to your income.
- Each of you can pay for your own children's expenses individually.
- You can decide which expenses you'll pay for together, such as a mortgage, vacations, everyday expenses, or unexpected emergencies.
Before making any decisions, discuss each of the options with your partner and what you'll do if it's not working out. And no matter which option you choose, the most important thing is to make sure your entire family's needs are being met.

Vaccines, Blood & Biologics
Development of Technologies and Evaluation of Methods Used to Test the Safety of Tissue Intended for Transplantation
Principal Investigator: Shyh-Ching Lo, MD, PhD
Office / Division / Lab: OCTGT / DCGT / TVBB
General Overview
Tissue banks distribute about 1.5 million donated bone and tissue grafts to recipients each year, according to the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB), which accredits these facilities On rare occasions allograft tissues (tissues obtained from donors) have transmitted infections to recipients. In most instances the infection was present in the donor at the time of death but was not detected. In some other cases contamination occurred during recovery, transport, processing, or storage of the tissues. Many of these instances have been investigated carefully and resulted in improved methods for screening and testing donors for infections, for preventing contamination, and for removing or inactivating organisms that may be present in allografts. The FDA's donor eligibility rule requires up-to-date and appropriate donor screening and testing and the agency's Current Good Tissue Practices rule requires methods be put in place to reduce risks during tissue processing.
Although transmission of infections is rare, a single human donor has the potential to provide tissue for over 100 transplants, which means that infected tissue from a donor has the potential to cause life-threatening infections or illnesses in over 100 recipients. Patients whose immune systems are already weakened due to disease or medical treatments are particularly vulnerable to infections transmitted by infected donated tissue.
The potential for such widespread effects of contaminated tissues makes it important for FDA to develop and evaluate industry standards for methods designed to ensure tissue sterility and disinfection and to approve tests for emerging infectious diseases that threaten the safety of donated tissues.
FDA regulates transplanted tissues, which usually come from cadaveric donors (e.g., deceased individuals) and include bone, skin, corneas, ligaments, tendons, dura mater (membrane covering the brain), and heart valves. Other regulated tissues obtained from living donors include hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (cells that give rise to specific types of blood cells) derived from peripheral (vein) and umbilical cord blood, and reproductive tissues such as oocytes (immature eggs) and semen.
FDA began regulating the tissue industry in 1993 in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of cellular and tissue-based products that are also drugs, biological products, or devices. More recently, the agency enhanced its ability to regulate tissues based on sound science by establishing a tissue microbiology research laboratory to study, evaluate and regulate human tissues and tissue-based products for potential risks of transmitting various infectious agents. This new laboratory is developing new methods and technologies for rapid detection and characterization of emerging infectious pathogens that threaten the safety of tissue and tissue-based products.
Scientific Overview
More than 1 million tissues are distributed as grafts for transplantation every year in the US. On rare occasions allograft tissues have transmitted infections to recipients. In most instances the infection was present in the donor at the time of death but was not detected. In some other cases, tissues were contaminated during recovery, transport, processing, or storage. Many of these instances have been investigated carefully and resulted in improved methods for screening and testing donors for infections, for preventing contamination, and for removing or inactivating organisms that may be present in allografts. The donor eligibility rule requires up-to-date and appropriate donor screening and testing. The Current Good Tissue Practices rule requires methods be put in place to reduce risks during tissue processing.
The Office of Cellular, Tissue and Gene Therapies (OCTGT) within CBER regulates human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) in order to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases. The OCTGT is establishing a more robust regulatory scientific infrastructure and better outreach to improve regulatory practices and review performance. The tissue microbiology laboratory has recently been established under the Division of Cellular and gene therapies (DCGT) and the Division of Human Tissues (DHT) to enhance the safety and the availability of human tissues intended for transplantation. The laboratory will develop various capabilities for detecting and characterizing infectious pathogens that could threaten the safety of human tissues to be transplanted as grafts. In addition, the laboratory will assist in validating tests for determining tissue donor eligibility using cadaveric samples and actively participate in the risk assessment of relevant communicable disease agents and diseases (RCDADs).
The new methods and new technologies the laboratory is developing include:
(1) Real-time qPCR: The primer sets for PCR-detection of target microbial species considered highly pathogenic for tissue grafts are designed using algorithms that recognize different patterns of DNA sequences among different genera and species of bacteria. The primer sets proven to be highly sensitive and species or genus-specific will then be used to design the real-time qPCR array for target "high-risk" bacteria.
(2) Genomic sequencing capability using the GS FLX platform (454 Life Science) of ultra-deep, non-biased sequencing technology to examine tissue or tissue-based products for the potential hidden microbes. The newly available technology will be uniquely powerful in the detection and characterization of those previously unknown or difficult-to-culture microbes, as well as those microbial agents that transmit an infectious disease after a long incubation time.
(3) Identification of biomarkers associated with the basic mechanisms of injuries in cell/tissue exposed to various chemicals using global gene expression profiling approach. The crucial markers will then be used to develop an array to assess the degree of injury in cells and tissues exposed to various chemicals or disinfectants used in tissue processing.

With the 2011 regular season fast-approaching, it's time to do a breakdown of the upcoming schedule for the Patriots. Last week, I made predictions on the first four games of the season and had New England rolling to a 8-0 start. Here is my breakdown of Games 9-12.
Week 10 – Away vs. New York Jets
The Patriots lost this game last year, and Bill Belichick rarely falls into the same trap twice. I think the Patriots take the opportunity to slam the door shut on the AFC East by completing their sweep of the Jets. When the Patriots are focused, they almost always answer the call. I don't see them looking past New York one bit this season and will take care of business.
Predicted Record: 9-0
Week 11 – Home vs. Kansas City
The last time these two teams faced off, Tom Brady's ACL was torn to shreds and a potential Super Bowl run was derailed. This time, Matt Cassel won't be leading his team to victory.
Predicted Record: 10-0
Week 12 – Away vs. Philadelphia
Looking at this schedule, I was tempted to go for another 16-0 season in my predictions. I think the chances of that happening are slim, but I do believe it's a possibility with this team and this slate of 16 games. Despite tough matchups with the Jets, Steelers, and Colts, there are very few, if any, games where I don't like the Patriots chances of winning. If the Pats take care of business each week, there's no reason they can't run the table. However, if there's one game that gives me pause, it's this road trip to Philly. Michael Vick, a top-notch secondary to blanket Brady's receivers, and hostile environment… It pains me to say it, but I have to predict the L here.
Predicted Record: 10-1
Week 13 – Home vs. Indianapolis
Will Peyton Manning be playing? And if so, will it be the real Peyton Manning? It's hard to say at this point, so I have to back the Patriots and Tom Brady over Kerry Collins. As much as I hate Manning and the Colts, this isn't the way I wanted this to go down. Could this annual November slugfest actually end up getting flexed off of Sunday Night?
Predicted Record: 11-1

Number of client channels increasing
Technote (troubleshooting)
The number of client channels increase over time and never decreases.
This occurs because the queue manager does not detect that the client has been disconnected, and therefore holds onto the transaction.
Resolving the problem
NOTE: ClientIdle is not supported on WebSphere MQ v7.1.x.x or higher because the DISCINT interval should be used on the SVRCONN channel.
To ensure the queue manager detects when the client is no longer there, set a new property on the Channel Stanza named ClientIdle. This property is set to a value that is defined in seconds.
Use the following command:
amqmdain reg <qm_name> -c add -s Channels -v ClientIdle=<val_in_secs>
UNIX and iSeries
Set in the QM.ini file using a new stanza, as follows:
Note: On all operating systems, you must restart the queue manager for the parameter to take effect .
Additional information
An explanation of the ClientIdle property from WebSphere MQ development:
A brief description of how the ClientIdle property works is in the case of a CLNTCONN/SVRCONN channel pair. If the client terminates due to a network connection problem, the queue manager fails to detect that the client has been disconnected and therefore holds onto the transaction. In this case the queue manager will wait for a transaction command (prepare,commit, etc.) from the client , but this will not happen because the client is no longer available.
In such situations the queue manager can be made aware of the orphaned connection by either setting the TCP KeepAlive in the qm.ini .This is a OS parameter and defaults to 2 hours .The SVRCONN will detect of failed client connection and will be cleaned the next time the KeepAlive is triggered.
The other solution to the above is to implement an 'undocumented' tuning parameter 'ClientIdle' under the Channels stanza in the qm.ini.
Client Idle Time Out provides a mechanism to allow system administrators to specify the equivalent of a disconnect(DISCINT) for SVRCONN channels. After the Client Idle period has elapsed without any
communication from the client, the server MCA will close the connection to the client.
Without Client Idle Time Out, there is no mechanism for 'timing out' SVRCONN connections which have not performed any activity for some time. Because of the nature of SVRCONN connections, a client which has disconnected without sending notification will also result in the SVRCONN MCA hanging for a long time(potentially with an associated uncommitted Unit of Work), until TCP/IP KeepAlive is triggered to free it up.
The ClientIdle parameter is available from version 5.3 to version 7.0, so this feature will not be effective on 5.2 libraries or on 7.1 or later libraries..
Setting the ClientIdle to 10 minutes will cause the svrconn channel to remain active for 10 minutes, then close the connection if there is no activity from the client side during that 10 minute interval. The ClientIdle parameter will help in closing any orphaned or hung channel connections, and will not have a negative impact on performance. If not configured properly using this setting may result in AMQ9213 2009 MQRC_CONNECTION_BROKEN on MQ clients

ShoreTel Customers in the Spotlight
We're always grateful that our "raving fan" customers love to sing our praises, so we were thrilled recently to be able to return the favor. Three ShoreTel customers - the City of Oakland, Safeway Insurance Group and Texas-based Big Brothers Big Sisters - were recently honored at the Nemertes Research 2008 VOIP and Unified Communications PilotHouse Awards Dinner for having effectively leveraged VoIP and unified communications (UC) to improve their operations. The awards were based on evaluating several criteria, such as how efficiently the organizations are implementing VoIP and how many UC applications they use.
These organizations and their management teams are truly heroes in my book. They didn't take the well-worn route of sticking with a traditional PBX or defaulting to the largest vendor. They carefully assessed their needs, considered where they wanted to take communications within their organization, and took the time to carefully study and understand a new technology. It's organizations and people like these that pave the way for the future of business communications, and I commend Nemertes Research for honoring them.
I hope you'll take a look at the brief recaps below and download the case studies. Each contains great ideas about how a UC system can transform your organization, improve productivity and reduce costs.
When the City of Oakland needed to replace its aging PBX, it chose ShoreTel's UC system in part because the distributed architecture provided the city with a solid disaster recovery plan, enabling calls to get through even during natural disasters such as earthquakes and mudslides. The ability of the city to make its own changes and additions to the system, rather than outsourcing these activities, also saved taxpayer dollars.
Founded in 1962, Safeway Insurance Group operates seven insurance companies and offers coverage in nine states, including Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The organization used its ShoreTel UC system to span its nine locations, boost employee productivity and increase customer satisfaction. The distributed architecture ensures the organization can always serve its customers, even during an emergency like Hurricane Katrina. Simple and straightforward management has also saved time and money.
Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in Texas. For more than 80 years, the organization has had a direct and lasting impact on the lives of children. The organization implemented a complete IP-based UC solution to tie all its remote locations together and present a unified front to the community. Streamlined business processes and new call management features helped the organization increase the number of mentoring relationships by more than 34 percent over a two-year period, while cutting the average wait time for clients to find a successful match almost in half. Meanwhile, least-cost routing saves the organization thousands of dollars a month in long distance charges.

an instance of bad luck
So I close in saying that I might have had a bad break, but I have an awful lot to live for.
Others might not realize, as he did, that Timothy was the victim of a bad break.
It isn't a bad break, he says, and Mark wants to keep his place.
The poor professor made a bad break I suppose, grinned Neale.
It will be a bad break on the festivities he was preparing for the village people.
But let a player make a bad break, and McGraw delivers a talk to him that would have to be written on asbestos paper.
Even nature is full of evidence of a bad break in all of its processes.
The team as a whole, however, was worried a good deal by Bobbys bad break.
Ralph wanted to keep a clear slate, and here was a bad break, right at the threshold of his new railroad career.
You think only of money until you make a bad break an' loose it all.

The Archduke Reigns
By Mary Harris
The Archduke, Lexias dirtea, may cause visitors at Reiman Gardens to do a double take when they visit the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing. This old world tropical butterfly is one of a group of related species in which the males and females are strikingly different but equally beautiful. Males are velvety dark brown, almost black, with the trailing edge of the forewing a shimmering blue. The majority of the hind-wing is a combination of violet, blue and green.
The female, or perhaps we should refer to her as the Archduchess, is also a velvety brown, but there the resemblance to the male ends. The female lacks shimmering blues or greens and instead displays several rows of orange-yellow spots that run from one side of a wing across the body and across the other wing. The continuation of the wing pattern across the thorax and abdomen is unusual and fun to look for as one observes the many butterflies in the exhibit at Reiman Gardens.
Lexias dirtea originates from Asia with different races inhabiting forested areas of Manipur, Burma, Malaysia and the Philippines. The species was first named and described by Fabricius in 1793 as Papilio dirtea. J. G. Koenig, most likely took the specimen that Fabricius examined in 1779 during a collecting expedition to Malaysia. Although Koenig was not a lepidopterist, he collected many of the type specimens from which the butterflies of Southeast Asia have been described. The species originally described as P. dirtea was subsequently placed within the genus Euthalia and finally moved to Lexias. Lexias dirtea is a brush-footed butterfly, in the family Nymphalidae, and is the largest species in this genus in Malaysia with a wingspan of 85 to 100 millimeters.
Members of the genus Lexias have extremely ornate caterpillars, which are protected by long feathery spines that render the larva inaccessible to predators. When at rest, the caterpillar aligns itself along the midrib of a leaf.
The L. dirtea chrysalis, or pupal stage of the butterfly, is 24 to 30 millimeters long, somewhat triangular shaped at one end and sharply pointed at the other end. The chrysalis is pale green with a pronounced "shoulder," the edge of which is light brown. The Archduke chrysalides and newly emerged adults may be viewed in the emergence cases in the lobby at Reiman Gardens.
Adult Archdukes are inhabitants of primary forests, and both males and females are attracted to sunlit areas such as paths or clearings, recent tree-falls, and forest edges. The females are more cryptic than the males that have evolved their bright coloration to be noticeable to other males as they compete for females. However, competition is not too great, as it has often been observed that there is a greater number of females in flight than males.
In addition to the unusual degree of sexual dimorphism, the Archduke (and duchess) is unusual in the range of its feeding behaviors. As adults, members of this species primarily feed on rotting fruit, particularly pineapples and mangosteens, fruits of trees in the genus Garcinia. At the Butterfly Wing, we provide dishes of fruit to satisfy the needs of the exhibit species of butterflies that require this delicacy in their diets. The Archduke is alone among the species that feed on fruit, however, in that it also will visit flowers to take in nectar. All in all, this combination of feeding behaviors, along with the strong sexual dimorphism, make the Archduke a very interesting exhibit species to see at the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing.

About This Project:
The new Spence and Cleone Eccles Football Center on The University of Utah campus along Guardsman Way is an updated facility that allows the team and program to meet the expected requirements from the Pac 12 and to better meet the needs of the players and coaching staff. The design includes the use of highly energy efficient equipment, windows and insulation with the goal to attain a LEED Gold certification.
The design challenge of this project was to accomplish the requirements of the new Pac 12 on a conservative budget. It included demolishing 75% of the existing building and making the new building fit within the existing area available. Height restraints and the request not to overpower the two buildings on either side of the new facility coupled with the need to connect the new building to the existing strength and conditioning areas proved challenging for all the teams that competed for the project. The scope of the Football Center also includes Sport Medicine and a cafeteria that will be available to all Athletics at The University of Utah.
Design Features:
- State of the art Sports Medicine/Training Facility with Hydrotherapy and related equipment
- 1-160 seat auditorium; 2-80 seat offensive and defensive classrooms, and 10 breakout classrooms
- Cafeteria and Supplement/Nutritional Areas
- Lockers and Showers
- Team Room and Study Area
- Offices
- Hall of Fame
- Equipment Management
- AV/IT Studios, Editing and Production
- New Practice Field
- Enhanced life safety and an additional access North of Tennis Center
- Storage

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
My daughter is the youngest of 3 (2 older brothers). She had a hard time at school in year 1 (she is in Year 3 now) and some issues with friends. Last year she had a better year at school, however there are very few girls in her year and all with very strong personalilites (lots of top dogging!) She has had exclusion type bullying this year and has found it hard to settle with any real friends. Seems to get pushed out of situations at playtime. Appears to have had 'good' days at school, however I am concerned she is not telling me anything so I wont get upset. She has a very friendly outgoing personalility and this hardline meanness is quite upsetting to see in her.

Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionThanks Dakos.. You've been helpful in this thread. Learned a lot. Ok so, I'm thinking yes. I'm just going to use my old receiver's preouts for now with a converter box to the amps. That should save me some money. Also, I've thinking if I still go with the 3 Xls 2000 for my LCR. Now, I'm thinking of getting 2 more Xls 1500 to run my surrounds. Yes, I didn't mentioned that with my LCR's I ordered. I also wanted to upgrade 4 of my monitors. Especially since I listen to a lot of SACD, audio DVD, and audio BD. I got 4 of these monitors coming with my LCR.. http://jtrspeakers.com/home-audio/single-8ht/ So I talked to my long time high school friend which actually the one pointed me the direction to Crown amps. And also been a DJ (now a promoter) for over 25 years now. I asked him about converter box. And told him what I was going to do. So recommended this converter box.. http://www.aphex.com/products/228/ He said it's very reliable and a solid product. And I really don't mind the cost especially it'll be a cleaner approach. You question to mic and REW? Yes. I've been using this mic with REW.. http://cross-spectrum.com/measurement/calibrated_umm6.html And this is the EQ I use for my subs.. http://www.dspeaker.com/en/products/20-dual-core.shtml Thanks dakos..
Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionOk thanks. I understand now. So if I run my current receiver pre outs to a active converter. Then out via XLR to the pro amps. Is there downside in doing this? Does the converter box increase the signal to provide enough voltage to the amp? Now I'm looking at different options. I think if this route works, then I might ride with it for awhile. Don't know yet though.
Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General Discussionhttp://postimg.org/image/dwncg6vcb/ http://postimg.org/image/f07gs5fzf/ Ok.. These are pictures from a few months ago. It doesn't look like this anymore. For I have spread my subs around the room to get a more even response. Sorry pictures look kind of grainy. I took it with my phone. I will take more pictures with my dslr when I get the new speakers and amps..
Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionYea, I've seen that on my manual before. I've done a lot of reading and asking questions about the preamp output of the receiver. I was told it should work. Don't know what this means. But read post #3476 and let me know what you think. http://www.avsforum.com/t/1112470/official-pioneer-mcacc-thread/3450 I mean if not I might just go with a active converter box since the amps will be in another room as stated in my first post. And also what you recommended. But, since my receiver is old but still going strong, I was looking into one of the two preamps I listed. They have balanced outs. The subs that I have from JTRs each have a built in plate amp. The manufacturer of the amp is Speaker Power. I'll try to get the picture uploaded today. Thanks..
Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionThanks dakos for explaining what the speaker presets does. Learn something new everyday. My room I guess is fairly big (20Lx17Wx9H). The room is treated, but am looking into adding at the ceiling. My current reciever now is a old Pioneer. I know the RCA pre-outs are rated at 1.5Vrms. I was told it was more then enough to drive a pro amp. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/SC-09TX I might try this route first by hooking my old AVR to the amps. If it works for me, I might just ride with it for awhile. If not, I'll just go pre-amp. The 2 I'm looking at right now is.. http://us.marantz.com/us/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=avseparates&ProductId=AV8801 http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=PR-SC5509&class=Preamplifier The Marantz I know is on the pricey side. But I've been looking around online, and found some for almost a grand less. And I know the BB store we have here in Hawaii price matches anything online . For the subs, I'm currently using subs made from JTR also. I have 4 of these.. http://jtrspeakers.com/home-audio/captivator-s2/ I have a picture that I took a few months ago of my setup. Though a few changes been made on the acoustic part to date. How do I upload the picture here? I don't see a attach file icon to click on. Doesn't the Xls also have built in dsp?
Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionOk thanks dakos.. Jeff at JTR is a great guy. I'm sure he'll answer your questions. Let me know what you come up. I didn't mentioned if it matters, that I was jus going to use the amps in bypass mode. And let the receiver do all the xovers. Not to familiar with dsp settings. Anyway, my speakers are still being made so I got time. I'm gonna also look into the XTi series. I'm actually also looking into a pre-amp instead of using my AVR now.
Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionThanks dakos.. Though I probably won't be using all that power. I don't want a amp to work hard. I want the amp to deliver clean power with ease. So more headroom I should say. Should I look into the 2500 model instead in bridge mode? Also, will the binding post on the XLS take a 10 awg wire? Thanks..
Rhed replied to Rhed's topic in Amplifiers - General Discussion^^ I have three of these on order for my LCR. Btw, I will have the amps on a dedicated 20 amp circuit. Im not going to use all that power. Its mainly headroom. http://jtrspeakers.com/home-audio/noesis-215rt/
Rhed posted a topic in Amplifiers - General DiscussionHello.. I'm new in this forum. Been reading up on consumer to pro gear set ups. As this will be my first with pro amps. I have speakers that are 4 ohm rated that's on order. Anyway I had a couple question in regards to connecting RCA (unbalanced) to XLS amps. I'm looking into getting 3 XLS2000 to run my LCR in my HT. Each in bridge mode. Now my receivers pre outs are only RCA. And outputs 1.5Vrms. But I wanted to rack the amps in the next room over. So the RCA cables will be about 15-20 ft to the next room. Will this be OK? Or should I just go Unbalanced>active converter>balance outs>XLS amp? Thanks...

TEL AVIV (Aug. 22)
Quadruplets born to a young Holon couple at Tel Aviv Maternity Hospital, — the first in the hospital's 20 years — have a good chance to survive, though each weighed less than a pound at birth, hospital physicians said today.
The mother, 21-year-old Aviva Arami, had a normal pregnancy — her first — and was not given the fertility drugs which often produce as many as five infants. The father, Adi Arami was overjoyed, a reaction tempered by the fact that the Aramis still do not have an apartment of their own.
The couple have lived with the mother's parents and then with the father's parents. Holon municipal officials are busy trying to find temporary quarters suitable for such a large family. The officials said the flat the Aramis are scheduled to get should be ready within a few months.

BMW Questions? Ask a BMW Repair Expert for Answers.
How i I initiATE THE TEST WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE ALL THE WAY DOWN AND I CAN'T GET THEM TO COME UP
Steve how do I take the doors off and is it normal for both regulators to fail at the same precise time, that is just baffling to me
True statement but I have been operating the windows to determine how long it takesbefore i get no noise at all. I mean its real quick. I lift the switch up I hear a noise coming from that window as though its trying and then nothing
I know it seems odd that both rear window regulators would fail just like that at the same time, even though they are never used.
That is exactly the problem because they are never used, the window glass becomes almost fused to the window guide weather stripping and to lower the glass takes a lot more effort. At the top and bottom of the window regulators are plastic (brittle) pulleys that the steel cable runs on, these normally break over time. But in your case all the extra effort needed has most likely broken these pulleys.
And this is why you cant move the windows anymore once it fails like this the steel cable gets caught up in the motor mechanism and hence the grinding noise for a few seconds but no movement.
I have posted a picture of the rear window regulator and you can see the fragile plastic pulleys on the top and bottom of the regulator.
Ok the last technician stated he had instructions for removing the door panels, pleas provide
Locate the wood grain/metallic panel that runs the length of the
door panel. Using your Plastic panel removal tool, pry from the front edge and carefully work your
way toward the back of the panel. There is a small hook that slides inward towards the rear of the panel.
Now to remove the door handle trim carefully pry the trim outwards. Then you can remove the screws and then pry out the door panel.
Thank you very much,
I will always leave positive feedback all I ask is for the same.

Cannot Login to WP Admin since Updating WP
My original post is at: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/206886 but since it was from yesterday, I wanted to make sure someone saw my issue and could possibly help me.
Here's the problem today:
I went through Fantastico and updated WordPress from 2.6 to 2.6.1, but before doing so, thought I was doing the right thing by disabling all plugins except for the Maintenance Mode plugin. I had activated that first so there's a splash screen stating the site was undergoing maintenance.
The problem is that since updating WordPress, I am unable to login to WordPress Admin! I get the login screen and login, but instead of getting to my Dashboard, I'm sent to the Maintenance Mode splash screen at: http://netmarketingfornewbies.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2F
I guess I was supposed to deactivate the Maintenance Mode plugin as well BEFORE I did the WordPress update because nothing I try will allow me to login to http://netmarketingfornewbies.com/wp-login.php
So I have NO idea how to fix it so that I can log back into my WordPress Admin to reactivate the plugins I deactivated and try the next update of 2.6.2 from inside of WordPress.
Can anyone help someone who is blindly trying to figure this stuff out?

Primeval Gardens Paulownias
Air Purifying
With an extraordinary growth rate and huge air filtering leaves that convert carbon into oxygen at a higher rate than almost any other tree, the Royal Empress Tree is rapidly becoming an important part of the solution to fight global warming.
They can consume and convert poor and polluted air at 3-4 times the rate of other trees.
Oxygen Producing
Paulownias produce more oxygen than just about any other tree due to their extra large leaves and rapid growth rate. They are one of the most valuable trees for releasing oxygen back into the atmosphere.
Growth Rate
Grows 10-15 feet a year
Can grow to a harvestable sized timber tree in 7-10 years.
Tree should be cut back to the ground in early spring of year two for even faster growth.
Paulownia trees can regenerate up to 7 times from 1 stump.
Animal Fodder
The leaves of the Paulownia are high in protein (21%) and nutrients, providing a good fodder for livestock.
Paulownia trees are excellent for intercropping (growing different crops together in same field). They are used widely in China by farmers who plant them in the fields and grow grain crops beneath them. The trees roots go very deep and do not compete with the crops for water and nutrients.
Grain crops planted beneath Paulownia trees have a higher yield because the trees improve the climate and reduce the damaging effects of strong winds.
When the leaves drop they decompose quickly and release valuable nutrients back into the soil.
After 8-10 years the trees can be cut for timber and become an added income for the farmers. They will regenerate again from the cut stumps, saving the cost of replanting the fields.
In China, paulownia trees are being used successfully in agroforestry projects and for intercropping with agricultural crops on close to 5 million acres of farmland.
Honey Production
The flowers of the Paulownia tree produce a very uniquely flavored honey that is especially popular in the Orient.
With their ability to grow to a mature timber sized tree in 7-10 years, Paulownia trees are becoming highly valued for their use in the lumber industry. The wood is strong and light. It is a high quality lumber with a very beautiful wood grain. It has been highly prized in Japan for many years. It is estimated that in the last 5 years, 1.2 billion Empress trees have been planted in Japan for forestry and lumber production. The wood is 30% stronger than Pine and 40% lighter than all other hardwoods.
Plantations of Paulownia trees are springing up around the world, as people are realizing the benefits of planting acres of these trees instead of the far slower growing pine tree. It is estimated that for each acre of Paulownia trees planted an average yield of 30,000 board feet of lumber can be expected every 7-10 years. With an average price of $3.00 per board foot, the estimated return on 1 acre of Paulownia trees is $90,000 every 7-10 years.
The trees will then regenerate themselves from the same stumps, saving the cost of replanting.
Aesthetic value
The rapid growth, beautiful fragrant flowers, and large green leaves add aesthetic value to any place they are planted

"[CAMC] is a charity hospital. They're a nonprofit and they do a lot of charity work -- millions and millions of dollars."They're not going to go for-profit."Last week, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl made headlines when he announced his intentions to challenge the tax-exempt status of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He argued that the hospital had not been operating like a charity, according to media reports.Jones said he's satisfied with the hospitals' current tax-exempt status and has no intention of asking them to change. CAMC and Saint Francis are nonprofit hospitals."I'm not going to pass judgment [on the Pittsburgh mayor]," Jones said. "I'm sure he's a very smart young man, but you put them into for-profit status and I'm not sure how much charity work they'd be willing to do."CAMC brings in about $830 million in revenue each year, said Larry Hudson, the hospital's chief financial officer.Last year, the hospital lost $65 million in charity care and another $65 million in bad debt -- all for treating people who couldn't afford treatment, Hudson said.Fourteen percent of CAMC's expenses are spent on the community in one way or another, Hudson said. Much of that amount is spent caring for patients who cannot afford to pay. Part also is spent treating Medicaid and Medicare patients. It often costs a hospital more to treat a Medicaid or Medicare patient than the reimbursement the hospital gets for the patient's treatment.Hudson said 5 percent is a common amount for a hospital to spend on community benefit. The high percentage is a reflection of the hospital's contribution to the community, he said."In return for the tax-exempt status, we give back to the community in the form of charity care," Hudson said. "We also take any and all Medicaid patients and incur the losses associated with Medicaid patients."Local hospitals do pay a state sales tax and a federal Medicare provider tax.If CAMC were to pay city taxes, Jones said, the amount would be significant."It would be in the multimillions," he said. "But they wouldn't have grown like they have. Being a nonprofit, people can donate money. They're building a cancer center because people are able to donate money and deduct that from income taxes." Before South Charleston's Thomas Memorial bought Saint Francis in 2007, it operated as a for-profit hospital and paid local taxes, Jones said. When Thomas Memorial took it over, the city of Charleston took a $1 million per year hit to its tax revenue, Jones said."We've grown our way past it, but it's significant," he said. "It's a million bucks."The amount of charity care and bad debt for Saint Francis was not available from the hospital's accounting department Friday afternoon, spokeswoman Paige Johnson said.Saint Francis' sister hospital, Thomas Memorial in South Charleston, had a shortfall of $6.5 million for treating Medicaid and Medicare patients, wrote off $4.2 million in charity care and another $16 million in bad debt last year.Reach Lori Kersey at email@example.com or 304-348-1240.

About 4 years ago I tweaked my right subscapularis (underside of the scapula) while lifting heavy things. I stopped working out to go back to school (and my wife had 2 kids). Over the span of that 4 years it didn't bother me at all. Just started working out last week (pretty light) and hurt it again. I DO NOT want to stop again EVER. Just curious if anyone out there has a shoulder/upper back injury (seems that shoulder, bench and back exercises seem to hurt it all the same) that are still lifting and still getting gains (even small)? Really my only goal is to get ripped with a six pack so HEAVY lifting is not my priority. Just want to look good naked lol. Any advise would be appreciated greatly.

Cool Career: Britain's First Female Beer Inspector
Annabel Smith has a freakin' sweet job, and the fact that she's the first and only woman in Britain doing it makes it that much cooler. Smith is the country's first female beer inspector. She works for Cask Marque, an organization formed by four breweries (and now made up of 34) that ensures their beers taste great after going out into the world. Traveling across the country, Smith sips beer from morning till night, and unlike wine tasters, she doesn't spit out her drinks: "You need to swallow it because the sides and back of your tongue are the only places that detect bitterness." Smith gets her taste buds tested once a year, and when she tastes an ale, she is gauging it based on it's appearance, aroma, taste, and temperature. According to research, Smith said, 84 percent of women haven't drank real ale because of how it's marketed (women usually aren't the target audience). To get more of us into her beverage of choice, Smith is campaigning for bars to get stemmed glasses. Apparently, a lot of women say they won't order beer on a first date! Personally, it's all I'll drink on one because, as Amelia discovered, glass after glass of wine can prove detrimental. However, sipping out of a beer goblet does make us feel a little more demure than when we sip from a pint glass.
The only downside to drinking beer for a living, Smith said, is when she has to start sippin' at 9 a.m. on a Monday morning. Amen, sister. But today's Friday, and it's time to raise a glass. [The Times U.K.]

By Elysa Gardner, USA TODAY
NEW YORK Entering Tony Bennett's hotel suite, you're immediately greeted by Boo, a perky Maltese pooch who just turned 15.
"She's the star in the family," says Bennett, as unfazed by age as his canine cohort. Ask him about his recent 80th birthday party, and the spry, sunny pop icon pulls out photos and begins flipping through them with a kid's enthusiasm.
"There's Bruce Willis, and Harry Belafonte — we started out together," Bennett says. He points to a beautiful brunette and redhead — his daughters, Johanna and Antonia — and a gorgeous blonde, Susan Crow, his longtime companion.
But Bennett has more than a bevy of babes to crow about. Tuesday is the release of Tony Bennett Duets/An American Classic, a compilation teaming him with Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Bono, Sting, James Taylor, Billy Joel and the Dixie Chicks.
Produced by Phil Ramone, who oversaw Frank Sinatra's Duets CDs, Classic also features younger stars such as John Legend, Juanes and Michael Bublé joining Bennett on some of the great American songs he still champions. Unlike Ol' Blue Eyes, Bennett recorded each duet live. "My son Danny (Bennett's manager) and I went to the areas where the artists lived or were performing," Bennett explains. "We went to Britain to work with George Michael and Paul McCartney. We had Tim McGraw, Elvis Costello and Diana Krall in my studio in Englewood, N.J., and then we went to all different parts of the country."
The result is a series of performances that come across like musical conversations, with Bennett and partners enjoying an easy, obviously affectionate rapport.
"We didn't search for perfection," Bennett says. "It was like a vocal jam session. We deliberately threw lines at one another."
Some of Bennett's younger collaborators were surprised, he adds, by the relaxed environment and quick pace of the sessions. "I usually record in three or four takes. When they record now, it can take 25 weeks. So they were knocked out by the spontaneity."
Several guests on the album (and Christina Aguilera) will appear on Tony Bennett: An American Classic, an NBC TV special premiering Nov. 21. Directed by Oscar winner Rob Marshall (Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha), the program includes film shorts featuring Willis, Robert De Niro, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Billy Crystal and John Travolta.
"It's kind of the story of my musical life, with these wonderful artists and movie actors," Bennett says. "I don't want to sound like I'm plugging the show, but it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Rob Marshall is a genius."
As he speaks, Bennett, an accomplished painter, is seated in front of a sketching of dancers included in the special. The work in progress is one of a series he'll include in a memoir commissioned by Barnes & Noble, which is due next year. "Mitch Albom is writing the foreword, which is wonderful," he says.
Given his proclivity for praising others, it makes sense that this showbiz survivor would express admiration — and concern — for today's fledgling interpretive singers.
"You watch American Idol and see the talent these kids have now, the potential," he says. "Rosemary Clooney and I were the first American Idols; we got started on a show. But that era was different. Now you've got to make money right away. If the first record makes it, the artist has to spend a lot of money on promotion, accountants, lawyers, managers, agents. Then if the second album doesn't make it, they just set the artist down and go with the next overdog. To me, that's very cruel."
To help encourage young performers, Bennett founded the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in his native Queens. Bennett also has a recording studio run by his son Dae, a sound engineer.
"I have a blessed life," Bennett says, and an active one: He plays tennis three times a week, "and exercise all the time. And I still perform. We work about seven nights a month, and the rest of the time I'm painting."
One of his works, a depiction of Central Park, was recently accepted by the Smithsonian Institution. The United Nations bestowed another honor, making Bennett an official "citizen of the world. I thought, wow, how could all this have happened to me, who started as a singing waiter in Astoria?"
And Bennett sees no reason not to believe that the best is yet to come. "I'm not finished with what I want to do. There are too many benefits to doing what you love."

Seahawks face quick turnaround for Thursday night - Oct. 15, 2013

RENTON - Welcome to "Thursday."
Well, it's actually Tuesday, but as far as the Seattle Seahawks are concerned it's Thursday. It's a necessity for Seattle this week to quickly turn the page and get prepared for their next game.
The Seahawks head to take on the Arizona Cardinals Thursday night on the NFL Network. The truncated week forces the Seahawks to move up their schedule significantly in order to adequately prepare for the matchup in just two days from now.
Therefore, it's already Thursday of a typical work week as Seattle works to implement a gameplan for this week's game. The Seahawks will have a lighter practice on Wednesday, a.k.a. "Friday," before flying out tomorrow night for the game.
Tuesday is typically a day off for the players. Instead, the team was back on the practice field preparing for the Cardinals.
"I'm able to cram it in," QB Russell Wilson said of the shortened preparation time. "I think the biggest thing is just staying a little bit extra, staying a little bit later at night. But at the same time, I'm also getting my rest because physically, I have to make sure that I'm ready to go."
The Seahawks may be without DE Chris Clemons for Thursday's game in Arizona. Clemons suffered a hyper-extended elbow in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans.
Head coach Pete Carroll said Clemons had an MRI and there is a "little issue" there but it will not require surgery and is more of a pain tolerance issue. However, the short week makes it difficult for him to be ready to play in time.
"Basically (it's) a tolerance deal and it's going to be a challenge for him to get back in the short week," Carroll said. "It really doesn't work to his advantage and in a normal week, he'd have a better shot. But we don't know. He's very tough about handling stuff and coming back and so we'll just see if he is able to endure it and get his strength back and play. We don't know that right now."
TE Zach Miller is expected to be able to play after missing the last two weeks with a hamstring strain. Carroll said he was really close to being able to play against the Titans but they decided to hold him out for one more week.
"We'd like to get him out there ready to play and hopefully we can do that," Carroll said.
Miller fully participated in practice on Tuesday and appears on track to be able to play Thursday night.
