What is an acceptable documentation for the phantom image QC? Is a table of values sufficient or should the facility plot the results?
While a table of 52 values (over a year) contains all the necessary information, it does not provide an easy way to analyze the results and detect trends for the background optical density and contrast. For this reason, FDA recommends that the facility plot the phantom scores, the measured optical density, and contrast values.

Effective Working Of Le Parise
Here is how it works. The cells of the top layer of the skin are held in place by ceremides, a substance which kind of acts like a glue to keep the cells in order so as to prevent the effects of dryness of the skin. In addition to this, they hold onto water molecules that attracts and retain the moisture of the skin. However, with age, the production of ceramides declines that makes the skin look wrinkled, sag and dull. The supplementation of essential nutrients and proteins used in these pills helps to decelerate the natural aging process. With an aid of Le Parise, one can easily close the open pores on the skin that will help you get balanced tone and texture of the skin.

text: I've been fortunate to work with some of the best short-game players ever--guys like Phil Mickelson,\nTiger Woods,\nJose Maria Olazabal.\nWhat I've learned from these players is that greatness around the green comes from always picking the right shot, then totally committing to it. No second-guessing it, no flipping or scooping at impact. If you commit and make a positive swing, you're virtually guaranteed to do three things right: (1) accelerate through the ball; (2) shift to your front foot; and (3) deliver the same clubface loft at impact as you set down at address. Those are the three biggies. Here I'll show you how to use them--and a few other tips--on five shots you face every round.

|You are in: Golf: USPGA
Friday, 16 August, 2002, 01:29 GMT 02:29 UK
Rose delighted with American debut
Justin Rose declared himself "very pleased" with his first professional round in America after finishing just one shot off the lead at the USPGA.
Rose's three-under-par 69 was the best of the European competitors and left him hot on the heels of clubhouse leaders Jim Furyk and Fred Funk.
"To start my first professional round in America on such a good note is very pleasing," Rose said afterwards.
"Obviously I am very happy to see my name on the leaderboard.
"I've been unbelievably relaxed this week. I didn't have any nerves on the first tee whatsoever.
"I felt very comfortable competing in a major in America."
The 22-year-old put his success down to some brilliant work on the greens as he needed just 27 putts on his round.
"I worked hard the last couple of evenings on my putting, just working on the pace and speed of the greens, and it paid off today," he added.
Padraig Harrington and Nick Faldo also go into their second rounds with a chance after both shooting 71 to finish three shots off the lead.
But Colin Montgomerie's desperate search for a Major is once more in tatters after a 74.
The 39-year-old Scot, beaten in play-off for the title in 1995, bogeyed his final two holes for a two-over-par round.
"I'm not very happy about that," said Montgomerie. "I had just one birdie and that's not enough. I had lots of chances."
Montgomerie, who has been subjected to heckling in the past in the United States, had five uniformed police officers assigned to his group for his round.
But he was not the only European Ryder Cup player to falter.
Sergio Garcia dropped three shots over the final three holes to end with a 75.
The Spaniard was well-placed at one under with seven to play, but a double bogey at the 402-yard 16th derailed his round.
"I got the wrong club and went over the green into the water," he explained.
"You have to realise you are going to have days like this, but it's unfortunate when it's in a tournament you really want to win."
Sweden's Jesper Parnevik shot a nine-over-par 81 to finish 13 shots off the lead England's Paul Casey had a nightmare 13-over 85.
Lee Westwood was one over after 13 holes when fading light stopped play for the day, Ian Woosnam finished on five over and Darren Clarke was seven over with one hole to play.

Busch Gardens in Summertime: Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by Ohno007
Overall Member Rating
Busch Gardens in Summertime
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Embark/Debarkation: Excellent. We where there at 11am, had to wait for the ship to clear but RCCL was great. Once we cleared, got on immediately. Leaving the ship was the quickest of any ship. Got there at 6 am off by 6:20am. Very nice.
Ship: The ship is very beautiful. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Flow rider is great, and this ship has a lot of things to do. The big PROBLEM, over crowding. This ship would be prefect with 700-1000 less people, then again all ships would be better with less people. However, compared to other ships, this one felt very crowded. The windjammer seemed the same size as the Mariner, but with more people. You had to wait 20-45 mins for the flow rider and rock wall. It felt like Busch Gardens in July, with the $6.00 beers.
Food: The worst on any ship. The food is almost More uneatable. The windjammer, has always been kinda of questionable, but, the dinning room was not good either. The EXCEPTIONS, pizza is pretty good. We have never eaten at Portofino's or Chops, however, we had to after our second dinner service. We are glad we did. This was excellent in everyway. Hasan in Portofino's, attended to our every need. Very very good. It is worth the extra money.
Staff: Very good, they were very helpful. Our room steward, Heather, was the best we have had. Our dining room staff was very nice, but, very slow. It should not take 2 hours for the 3 coarse meal. Only MAJOR problem, is the bar staff. They want you to buy drinks, the always ask you for drinks. Not just once, but, all the time. They harass you. Its not good. Laying at the pool, all pools, or at Labadee, trying to relax, here they come yelling for drinks, all day.
Ports: Labadee- Nice island., plenty of places to hang out. DO NOT GO on the safari snorkel there are no fish on the reef. The reef is dead. I asked our guide why? He said they have over fished the reef and they keep every fish no matter of the size. Its sad. Montego Bay, Jamaica- The Ghetto the caribbean, enough said. Grand Cayman- We had to anchor on the other side of the island. If this happens to you. It takes 45-1hour to get to Georgetown. There is one pier and we had 3 cruise ships tendering into a very small area. Not good. We went to swim with the dolphins early and it was very nice. Kids love it. Cozumel- The best place on the trip. The water is wonderful. Lots of fish, good food, and great beaches.
Overall- This cruise is for people with kids. If you want a nice quite luxury cruise, this is not it. However, if you have kids and want a lot to do and do not mind lots and lots of people, this is it. They nickel and dime you, no free ice cream after 6pm, no orange juice after 10 am, Red Stripe beer $5.50., but other than that, not bad. Would I go back, with my kids yes, with my wife and I, no way. Less

West quit school after the third grade and for the next two decades lived the rough-and-tumble life of a stage performer, appearing on Broadway and vaudeville and burlesque stages across the country. She finally gained national notoriety in 1928 for writing and staging her play "Sex" in New York, which led to her widely publicized trial on obscenity charges, culminating in one week of incarceration and a lifetime of fame.
After several more controversial plays, West was signed by Paramount Pictures in 1932, where her phenomenal success is credited with keeping the studio solvent. As the Hayes decency code was then in effect, West (who insisted on writing her own screenplays) was forced to couch her risque material in innuendoes and double entendres, which became a trademark of her comedic style; nevertheless, by the mid-1940s, West's films and popularity were so compromised after her bouts with censorship that she could no longer find work in Hollywood.
In the next decades, she returned to the stage, toured a wildly successful nightclub act, wrote a bestselling autobiography in 1954, and made appearances on records, radio and television, several of which were marked by the same controversies as in her early career. West returned after a 34-year absence to star in two motion pictures during the 1970s.
After a series of strokes, Mae West died in 1980, celebrated as a Hollywood legend.

Shelley Sacks
Shelley Sacks, of the Social Sculpture Research Unit in the UK, creates engaging multidimensional art projects that encourage dialogue and reflection around social and environmental concerns. Her educational and participatory installations explore such issues as banana production, forest stewardship and our spiritual connection to the natural world.
A former student of Joseph Beuys, Sacks brings a profound understanding of the power of art to facilitate "trans-actions" between people, issues and places. She sees this transformative aesthetic as part of "an ecological life process... that includes non-material processes and relates to all spheres of activity. Such works are, therefore, as much to do with consciousness work, soul-making and personal transformative work as they are to do with social process and natural environmental concerns."
One project, "University of the Trees" (2006) in the Haldon Forest, near Exeter in the UK, is an ongoing series of participatory installations and dialogues designed to foster "a more responsive relationship with the trees as our teachers." #2 of several Mobile Labs, is a "golden felted mantle" placed around a tree which provides a gentle space to listen and reflect on the importance of forest stewardship.

For sharemarket analysts the reporting season has been a shocker.
Aside from the global financial crisis, not since 1996 have the experts so underestimated the challenges facing corporate Australia.
The 2010 reporting season wound down on Friday with more cautious comments about the year ahead and downgrades to forecast earnings, as the reality sank in that company executives did not share many investors' optimism for a robust recovery in 2011.
The past week was the best for outlooks – brokers raised 2011 forecasts for
Constellation Capital Management portfolio manager Richard Morris said heading into reporting season bullish brokers had over-hyped investors on the assumption Australia would have a sustainable, V-shaped recovery.
"It's just not panning out that way at the moment," he said.
According to UBS, the consensus estimate for earnings per share growth across the market in 2011 is 19 per cent, but many companies have opted not to give profit forecasts, fearing the uncertainty in the market.
The S&P/ASX 200 was up 14.1 points on Friday, but finished the week down 60.8 points or 1.37 per cent at 4370.1.
Companies with domestically focused businesses were more upbeat than those operating in offshore markets, particularly in the US, where a string of weak economic data has roused fresh fears of a double-dip recession.
Results were mixed in terms of meeting 2010 forecasts, but there were only a handful of disasters.
Dividends were also mixed. Most companies were sitting on excess cash following the round of capital raisings after the global meltdown.
BHP and Woolworths were among those that took advantage of improved earnings to pay a higher dividend in a show of confidence to investors. Others kept cash on their balance sheets, either as a precaution or for future merger and acquisition plays.
Perpetual head of Australian equities John Sevior said dividends had been good overall but many companies had decided to repair their balance sheets.
"This year was really a tale of two halves, with the stimulus package still providing momentum in the first half but then we saw a considerable drop off in retail spending, particularly in the last two months of this financial year," he said in a statement to the ASX.
"The outlook for 2010-11 looks promising. We believe we are going into a period of full employment, low interest rates and homes with good balance sheets, and the property market has held up well."
Woolworths said on Thursday a renewed round of cost-cutting would help it maintain its 11-year record of double-digit profit growth in 2011 as it reported a 10.1 per cent rise in net profit to $2.02 billion. CEO Michael Luscombe was confident the supermarket chain could continue to grow.
"We still have a strong, growing business in New Zealand, there's plenty of upside for Big W and we still have got plenty of growth in online retailing, we have great growth in terms of new store sites and continued refurbishments in supermarkets," he said.
Mr Sevior said corporate caution was to be expected owing to the level of uncertainty about the economic recovery.

I just received my copy of the Study Bible for Women, published by the B&H Publishing Group. Dorothy Kelley Patterson served as the General Editor of what is being called the "most comprehensive ever" Study Bible. The publisher notes, significantly, that the Study Bible was prepared "by women and for women" — all of whom are fully qualified by their academic training in Biblical studies and their knowledge of the original languages of Scripture for the monumental task that they undertook. Mrs. Patterson is a Professor of Theology in Women's Studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Study Bible for Women is a one-volume, beautifully produced Bible that is full of resources that will enrich in-depth Bible study as well as provide life-enhancing materials for daily devotionals. I like the fact that the Study Bible for Women will serve the serious Biblical scholar and new Christian as well as long-time believers, like me, who seek to go deeper into God's Word. I like challenging materials that stretch me spiritually and mentally without overwhelming me with materials that are designed for theologians or so sophomoric that I feel patronized and become bored because everything is too simplistic and obvious.
I have spent several hours getting acquainted with my new Bible. It is comprehensive, attractive, and easy to understand.
- The extensive study notes are placed right at the point where the reader needs the extra information. The introduction to each book gives an overview of the key facts and themes, mentions the importance of various issues addressed in the book, and provides specific guidance unique for women's needs.
- There are content outlines that provide a brief "Cliff Notes-type" overview for understanding the content as a whole. The notes identify "threads" that run through the content revealing doctrine — explicating those foundational beliefs that are at the heart of our faith and the solid stones on which we build our convictions and standards of behavior.
- The character profiles give plenty of background for the women in Scripture that help us understand who they were as historical figures and how they fit into the coming of the Messiah in the Old Testament, or how they helped to spread the Gospel in New Testament times.
- While I thought the "word studies" would be tedious and irrelevant, they seem to examine the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words in a way that reveals deeper meaning to the Scripture as it relates, ironically and amazingly, to our modern-day lives.
- There is a section on "hard questions" that provides answers for some of the more difficult passages in the Bible.
I'm tremendously impressed with the extras that are a vital part of this Study Bible for Women. There are relevant essays and devotionals that are titled, "Written on my Heart," because they apply so well to women's lives and address matters that are very much on our hearts. In addition, there are the full-color maps that are typically included in study Bibles and that provide a geographical context for the messages. And, there is a concordance — a tool that I cannot do without; it is just so convenient to have it right there in one volume, easy to reference when it is needed.
There is also a brief essay, "The Christian Life" — written by Rhonda Harrington Kelly, Managing Editor for the project and a PhD, professor, and Director of Women's Ministry at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary — that I plan to study, because it will be insightful and challenging. Best of all, Mrs. Patterson describes, in five pages of suggestions, a plan for Bible Study that I fully intend to implement.
The Study Bible for Women is available through Amazon and Lifeway. The publisher offers a leather version in blue, red, sage, or chocolate and a hardback version.

Comments from Recent SEP Students
The following information is from a blog written by Deborah Mersino
Severn Young and Erick Quintanilla, both 13 years old, have attended the Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) at the University of Northern Colorado for the past two years. Both currently go to the same school in Colorado and have become close friends. I recently had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with them to dialogue about their experiences at camp. Hearing two seventh grade boys talk about how life-changing SEP has been made me recognize how critical camps like this are. The right environment and support for both the cognitive and social-emotional needs of our gifted, talented and creative students can, in fact, alter the trajectory of lives.
What makes SEP powerful are the surroundings, the interesting classes and the teachers! In my Zombies Attack class, we got to use our imagination and explore what it might truly be like to face an apocalypse. The teachers are all different from one another, but that's what makes it so interesting. Unlike school, there are no bullies at SEP. Every one treats you like you want to be treated. My favorite class was a philosophy class and a Freaky Poetry Slam class. Everyone at SEP is so understanding. They're in the same shoes as you. I learned that when I put my mind to something, I can achieve it. My favorite class was a Musical Recording Studio. I felt so welcomed. It really surprised me how nice everyone was. I expected them to be like other kids at school, but that wasn't the case. These kids understand. SEP makes you want to go out and change the world and make it a better place. I learned that if you're really passionate about what you're doing, nothing can get in your way!
When I asked them what advice they might offer to a new camper and/or someone who might be considering the Summer Enrichment Program, they offered this:
If you're considering it, but aren't sure, follow your instincts. You'll realize later that coming to SEP was a great decision! You'll change the way you look at things; you'll change for the better. Parents should know that it's really safe. We're always supervised. And if someone's shy, they shouldn't worry about making friends. Everyone here is accepting.
Finally, when I asked these two to give me three adjectives or descriptors that best depicted SEP, Severn responded, "Astonishing, great and fun." Erick said, "Fun, exciting, better than anyone can expect." Severn added, "I would recommend it because it's the most amazing experience I've had as a kid; I couldn't be 'me' without it."
How's that for life changing?

3D printing companies have come into their own in 2013, with stocks in this corner of the market doubling and even tripling in some cases.
It's not hard to understand why. If you're a long-term investor looking to get in on the next investing megatrend, 3D printing companies are it. On-demand manufacturing can reduce costs for both businesses and consumers, 3D printer programmers are the new software engineers, and 3D printing itself has been a defining cultural trend.
We still are in early days of this trend, and some of the most dramatic applications — such as "printing" human organs for transplant — remain out of reach.
But if you're a believer in 3D printing, that means there's still time to invest in the sector.
If you're looking for the best 3D printing companies to buy now, start with this list of the hottest stocks of 2013: 3D Systems (DDD), Stratasys (SSYS), VoxelJet (VJET), ExOne (XONE) and Proto Labs (PRLB).

European Court compensates British gays
The European Court of Human Rights has awarded damages to four former members of the British armed forces who were dismissed for being homosexual.
The court gave the three men and one woman a total of nearly five-hundred-thousand dollars in compensation.
Last year, it ruled that enquiries into their sexuality by British military authorities violated the right to privacy.
Britain has said it will abide by the ruling, although it had argued gays in the military undermined discipline and team-work essential to military efficiency. The right to respect for private and family life is enshrined in the European Convention of Human Rights.

text: Turning to the growth, net premiums grew 12% during the year. You will recall back in the first quarter we said full-year premium growth would range between upper single digit to low double-digit. Revenue and earnings during the year benefited from three acquisitions at the end of '10, the largest being Rain and Hail. We had a good year in agriculture, including crop insurance, and this contributed 1.4 billion in premium revenue growth and produced a combined ratio of 91%.Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

In my part of the world, on any given day, you can drive by commercial projects and see precast panels being used everywhere. A few days ago when I passed the Williamson County Medical Center in Franklin, Tenn., the contractor was adding four floors to the parking garage using precast panels.
But what surprises me most is the gradual acceptance of precast by the residential contractors. Producers seem to be using technologies that are making it easier for precast to gain certain residential markets.
We all know the average home builder, if there is one left after this current crisis, isn't going to build a 500-home subdivision in Any City, USA. But the discriminating buyer is opting for a precast choice in the higher-end homes. And I think there's an underlying reason—safety.
For many years, we have delivered concrete to residential wall contractors who produce solid poured-in-place walls. Unfortunately, this foundation of safety was topped with a lumber package, framing the walls, setting the rafters, and then the usual process continues to finished product. And after a tornado, hurricane, or wildfire, the owner is left with concrete.
I think it's time for precast concrete to provide the missing part of the puzzle when it comes to stabilizing the average home. It should be mandatory to have a precast or block safe room in areas where tornadoes and storms are common.
Building codes should favor concrete homes. You could set the planks for the floors on top of the poured-in-place walls. Then afterward, use panels for the initial structures and put the "finish" on the exterior to cover up the gray, just like some of us older guys in the business did with whiskers and hair. Is there a Grecian Formula for concrete? Yes, it is in the form of an integral color additive.
With the availability of formliners, colors, and designers in general, you could have a one-of-a-kind home or office and have the piece of mind that it could withstand higher than normal winds.
Help to the rescue
I'm not the only person who thinks this way. In fact, a group of very smart people shares my opinion. The folks at the International Code Council also think it's important to increase public safety for people evacuated to storm shelters and those who use safe rooms in their homes during hurricanes and tornadoes.
Concrete in all its forms is referenced in the new International Code Council/National Storm Shelter Association's Standard for the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters. Due for publication soon, the document shows the overall interest in safer construction techniques.
I wish I had built a home meeting those new standards several years ago when I lived near Murfreesboro. One Saturday night after I had turned in, my friend phoned and yelled at me to get into the bathtub and cover up with a mattress. I hadn't been asleep very long, so at first I thought he was telling me that I needed to take a bath. He was actually trying to tell me that a tornado had been spotted in my subdivision and I needed to get to the safest place in the house. I turned on the television and sure enough, he was right.
The tub's porcelain was cold that night. But I was thankful for the security when the wind started shaking the whole house. Now, when I build my next home with the new code provisions, I'll be able to use the top side of the mattress and watch the storm pass.
To learn more about the code as it relates to storm shelters, visit the National Storm Shelter Association's Web site at www.nssa.cc.

Samuel Kassow, a professor of history at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., speaks a bit of everything. He's fluent in Yiddish, gets by in Polish, knows his way around Russian and Hebrew, and has a good reading command of German and French.
But he won't need a translator when he speaks in Philadelphia this weekend; his message will be very clear: Jewish resistance during the Holocaust wasn't just about fighting back with guns.
"Jewish resistance wasn't just armed resistance," he said. "It was cultural resistance; it was trying to keep your family together; it was trying to maintain your humanity when the Germans were trying to dehumanize you."
Kassow, 63, will deliver the keynote address at this year's annual Memorial Ceremony for the Six Million Jewish Martyrs on Sunday, April 11, at 1 p.m., at 16th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The event, Philadelphia's largest Yom Hashoah commemoration, will also feature Yizkor prayers and remarks from secular and religious community leaders. The rain site is at Congregation Rodeph Shalom, 615 N. Broad St., Philadelphia.
This year's theme is "Resistance," which lies at the center of Kassow's book, Who Will Write Our History? Rediscovering a Hidden Archive From the Warsaw Ghetto.
'Nothing Really Like It'
Kassow said that he wants to emphasize in his remarks that resistance entailed more than just combating the Nazis with violence because "if you just associate resistance with armed resistance, then you're saying that 99 percent of Jews didn't resist, and that wasn't the case."
As an example of another, less glamorized form of resistance, he offers the Oyneg Shabes archive, the subject of his book. The archive was the project of Emanuel Ringelblum, a Jewish Polish historian who, as Kassow explained, "before the war was a respected, but not a first-ranked figure — a kind of journeyman historian and community organizer."
Added the scholar: "Wartime turns some people into monsters and other people into heroes, and Ringelblum kind of understood that he had to rise to the challenge, and he did."
As the Warsaw ghetto was being closed off in 1940, Ringelblum began the process — in collaboration with a few other leaders — of archiving all sorts of material from the ghetto's inhabitants.
Over the course of three years, Jews in the ghetto contributed not just recollections of their own experiences under Nazi rule, but histories, theological pieces, photographs, diaries, recipes, even candy wrappers — anything that might serve as a remembrance of the culture the Nazis were working to extinguish.
While many other Jewish communities maintained their own archives during the Nazi period, Kassow said that Ringelblum's was larger and better organized than any other. "This was a group of people that really had a purpose, had a plan; and in that sense, there was nothing really like it."
The Oyneg Shabes archive's name translates to the "Joy of the Sabbath" and got its title because its organizers generally met on Saturdays.
Nearly everyone involved with the archive, including Ringelblum, was killed during the war. The archive itself was buried beneath the streets of Warsaw in tin boxes and milk cans, not all of which have been found, despite extensive searches. Those involved who did survive the war assisted in finding it beneath the ghetto rubble.
The archive was exhumed between 1946 and 1950.
Though Kassow wrote a pair of books prior to Who Will Write Our History?, neither dealt with the Shoah, but rather centered on Tsarist Russia. The historian said that the experience of researching and writing a Holocaust book was vastly different than anything he'd done before.
Whereas his Russian books dealt with a well-organized and well-documented story, "here I was dealing with a society that was being destroyed, and instead of documents that were deeply arranged in files and archives, I was dealing with documents that had been hastily buried in boxes and tin cans that didn't surface until after the war. You could see in the documents the escalating terror — the rupture, the disintegration of these people's lives."
Aside from an academic interest in the archive, Kassow had a personal tie. The historian is the son of Polish Jewish parents and was born in a displaced persons' camp in Germany. He said that over time, he came to understand that Ringelblum's story was fascinating, and that as a historian he had the particular tools necessary to tell it.
He said that it eventually came down to the question: "If I didn't write the history of this culture, who would?" The research and writing of the book took about eight years, including visits to Poland, Israel and Washington, D.C., all three of which have materials from the Oyneg Shabes archive. The new Yad Vashem facility in Jerusalem has a section dedicated to the collection.
As the number of Holocaust survivors dwindle and history moves on, many have pondered about the future of Holocaust studies, and whether or not that subject will be subsumed into the larger, more generalized topic of genocide.
Kassow said that while it's perfectly legitimate to pursue both topics, future historians must be careful that the Shoah not be "understood as just killing; it has to be understood also as a very important chapter in Jewish history, and many questions from that perspective would not be asked from the perspective of genocide studies."
Kassow knows a thing or two about Jewish history — in fact, he's currently serving as a consultant to Warsaw's Museum of the History of Polish Jews, set to open in 2012.
His specialty vis-à-vis the museum deals with the period between 1860 and 1939, which, he explained, saw a rapid transformation of Jewish life, including the rise of political parties, modern Yiddish literature, industrialization, urbanization and more.
That goes a long way toward explaining why the Ringelblum Archive was so important.
He stressed that it's crucial to remember that "Polish Jews weren't all born in 1939, and that when the Holocaust began, Polish Jewry was already a vital and resilient community.
"You can't really understand what happened in the Holocaust without understanding what happened to that culture before the war."

Hi! There
Welcome to Just Answers
The camshaft syc. needs to be replaced, if it is squeaking, This is a sign, before the shaft breaks. I am not there, and can not see what your transmission is doing, but going on what you have said above, That does not sound correct, but most transmission shops, wants the engine systems working right, before they diognoise the transmission.
Your answer seems a bit vague to me. Let me rephrase the question. Can low engine coolant level or a squeaking camshaft syn cause a 4R55E transmission to shift incorrectly? Cause whining sound? Miss gears on upshift and not get passing gear? Thanks
What qualifies as good working camshaft syn? Engine always starts easily, has smooth idle and no missing on accelleration.

The Law of Attraction, which has been known by mystics, muses and sages, throughout the ages, and by the most powerful people in human history, shows us that when we give attention to the things we want OR the things we don't want - when we give attention to anything at all, we attract that energy to our human experience. The Law of Attraction (LOA) is the most powerful force in the universe. The simplest definition of this law is "like attracts like." Other definitions include: All forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. You are a living magnet. What you sow, you reap What you put out you get back What comes around goes around The Law of Attraction is important to remember when you offer blessings. What you bless for others, you bless for yourself. Whatever blessing you send into the water, comes back to you precisely as if you blessed yourself. The Law of Attraction and Water Blessings are an inportant co--creation to use in envisioning your future. The Spirit of Water labels and their thoughts can transform the water you give your plants, your pets, the water you bathe in, and the water that passes through the office water cooler. Wherever you experience water, you have an opportunity to offer a blessing. Share the blessings with someone you care about, and encourage them to label their drinking water too, with a silent inspirational reminder as simple as a word on a glass or bottle. Share this knowledge with as many as you can. Whether you use Spirit of Water labels or simply felt-pen your word across your bottle, each time the eyes see the drinking glass or water bottle, the blessing or prayer is being reinforced with positive energy. The Spirit of Water hope you like the blessings we have created for your use. When you use Water Blessing Labels you put "Water in Action" you are exercising the Law of Attraction. And the entire world benefits!

|SSHS Lady Cats fall to 0-2 in district play
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Jan. 12, 2005 -- The North Lamar Pantherettes made a statement about where they stand on the District 12-4A food chain Tuesday night, serving up a 94-51 win over Sulphur Springs.
The Pantherettes came into the game fresh off a 96-26 win over Paris, showing why they are the favorites in the district race. NL improved to 16-5, 2-0 in district, while the Lady Cats fell to 6-17, 0-2.
The real race for third place in the district starts for the Lady Cats on Friday when they host Paris. Sulphur Springs' first two games have been against Texas High and North Lamar, who are distancing themselves from the other 12-4A teams.
"They're good. They're better than we are, that's all you can say," said SSHS head coach Carin Bryant. "Their kids know how to play, they have depth and they're young so they're going to be good for years to come.
"I would have liked for it to have been a closer game, but North Lamar is that good. They can score, they're quick and they can press."
Sulphur Springs' sophomore post Cresha Hubbard had a solid game with 24 points, shooting 10-of-13 from the field, and eight rebounds.
But, North Lamar countered with 27 points and six steals from Stormy Smith, and 23 points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists from Celeste Coward.
North Lamar's full-court, trapping defense hurt Sulphur Springs early, leading to 44 Lady Cat turnovers.
In fact, the first five possessions of the game were a prelude to how the contest would go. North Lamar forced four SSHS turnovers, converting them all into points for an 11-0 lead a little over two minutes into the game.
"We didn't handle the pressure well, and that's just part of being inexperienced and young and not playing much," Bryant said. "North Lamar runs their trap very well and we had problems against their defense."
The Pantherette advantage eventually reached 16-0 on Erica Anderson' 3-pointer before Hubbard got the Lady Cats on the board when point guard Terra Jackson found her in the paint for a bucket. Hubbard added another bucket in the period and Minta Mannon scored off a Kayla Morgan assist, but the Lady Cats trailed, 26-6, after one period.
Things didn't improve much for the Lady Cats in the second quarter, though Jackson started the period by hitting two straight jumpers.
Anderson hit two more treys on her way to 11 points and NL went into halftime with a 55-16 lead.
Sulphur Springs' post play came to the fore in the third period as Hubbard hit four field goals, while junior forward Kati Riggs and sophomore post Kayla Morgan each had a bucket. Riggs finished with seven points and four rebounds.
But, NL's Coward and Smith combined to go seven-for-eight in the quarter as the Pantherettes added to their lead, 80-34.
The Lady Cats outscored North Lamar, 17-14, in the fourth quarter. For the game, SSHS hit almost half of their shots from the field (16-of-36) and out-rebounded North Lamar, 33-27, but the problem was the turnovers. When they could get the ball into Hubbard, she was able to produce.
"I told them if we could break the press and hit our posts, I felt like we could score because I didn't feel like they had the kids to stop our posts the way they have been playing lately," Bryant said. "Cresha had a real good game. She has really improved a lot in the last two weeks. We've been working on them getting position and being strong inside."
Jackson ended with six points, five rebounds and team-highs in steals and assists (three each). Ne-Ne Hynson added six points, two steals and two assists, and Mannon added four points, three rebounds and two steals.
For North Lamar, Alyssa Garey had team-highs in steals (six) and assists (five), while freshman Ali Stone added eight points, four steals and four assists. Emily Fouse scored 12 points.
North Lamar 42, SSHS 19
The Pantherettes outscored Sulphur Springs in every period to win the 12-4A contest.
SSHS was led in scoring by Emily Bouyear with eight points and Amanda Wade added four.
North Lamar's Whitney Shackelford and Robyn Bush scored a game-high 10 points apiece.
North Lamar 12 7 13 10 -42
Sulphur Springs 2 6 4 7 -19
North Lamar - Methren 5, Shackelford 10, Steelman 9, Bush 10, Grider 8.
Sulphur Springs - Bouyear 8, Scudder 2, Cannon 2, Nash 2, Wade 4, Green 1.
SSHS 30, North Lamar 12
The SSHS ninth-graders improved to 9-2 overall, 2-0 in district play behind 11 points from Kelsey Evans and 10 from Star Wright.
The Lady Cats broke open a 12-10 halftime game by holding North Lamar to just two points in the second half.
Olivia Stribling led SSHS defensively with six steals.
North Lamar 4 6 0 2 -12
Sulphur Springs 9 3 8 10 -30
North Lamar - Crawford 2, Garrett 4, Jacki 2, Suggs 2, Bivens 2.
Sulphur Springs - Olivia Stribling 1, Shardae Jones 4, Kelsey Evans 11, Star Wright 10, Stephanie Connally 4.

Learning the Three 'R's of Sustainability
Campus Urged to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
Aug. 27, 2014
Tuffy Titan graces the new logo for the campus zero-waste effort.
Cal State Fullerton alumnus Kevin P. Mattson '08,'10, who earned bachelor's and master's degrees in geography, has returned to his alma mater with one goal in mind: to help the University become even more sustainable, particularly in the ways it handles waste, from paper towels and grass clippings, to construction materials and traditional recyclables.
As the University's new sustainable waste management specialist, Mattson brings a wealth of experience in sustainability planning and waste reduction. In addition to his academic degrees, Mattson has earned a sustainable business management certificate from UCI and LEED AP Building Design and Construction certification from the Green Building Certification Institute. Prior to joining the University, he served as a program manager with Waste Management Inc., where he was involved in developing waste reduction and waste diversion programs for such commercial property customers as JW Marriott, AEG and Kilroy Realty.
"It's a good time for me to join the campus," said Mattson. "Cal State Fullerton has turned its focus on being more sustainable with the 2011 signage of the Talloires Declaration, a statement of commitment to environmental sustainability in higher education, and the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment, a framework to implement comprehensive plans to pursue neutrality.
"In addition, the University has taken many steps toward being more ecologically aware and responsible," Mattson added, pointing to the construction of the trigeneration plant that creates roughly half of all the power used by the campus and in an environmentally friendly, more cost-effective way; removal of chemicals from cleaning products used on campus; water conservation through the planting of drought-resistant plants, introduction of drip irrigation and the installation of low-water flow fixtures; retrofitting the campus lighting to be more energy efficient; and the installation of a photovoltaic system.
What is involved in being a sustainable waste management specialist?
As the sustainable waste management specialist, I will plan, develop, integrate and coordinate the campuswide waste and recycling program.
What type of programs are you overseeing?
Obviously, I will be overseeing the waste and recycling programs on campus, but I also will be overseeing the waste- reduction programs, such as restroom air dryers and reusable bottle refilling water fountains.
What new programs are currently in the works? Why are these efforts important?
Waste efforts, guided by the three Rs — reduce, reuse, recycle — make sense environmentally, economically and socially. For example:
- They reduce our burden on landfills. Existing landfill sites are filling up fast, and there is very limited space and infrastructure for new ones.
- They conserve raw materials. Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to mine or extract virgin resources.
- They save energy. Using recycled materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than using virgin resources. For example, recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to power a laptop or TV for three hours.
- They save money. If we can reduce the amount of waste we have to send to the landfill by expanding onsite composting, or by increasing the collection of recyclables, we can reduce paying heavy landfill fees.
- Community leadership — following the waste hierarchy of reduce, reuse, recycle at Cal State Fullerton, will provide a responsible example for students and the local community to spread to their future careers and communities.
What are the rewards for the campus?
Next year, I am excited for Cal State Fullerton to participate in Recyclemania – an eight-week, friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities to their campus communities.
What should members of the campus community remember/do about sustainability?
As the new recycling program becomes more and more available throughout the entire campus, it is important for the Cal State Fullerton community to remember to "Stop. Think. Sort." In other words, we all need to take the brief time to properly learn how to dispose of our waste and recycling properly. A recycling program begins and ends with the community's participation and personal responsibility, in order to be successful. We will be educating the campus on proper recycling. I know the campus community is up to the task of becoming a leader in recycling.

Choosing to adopt an animal from BHS is choosing to save lives, help reduce pet overpopulation, save money, and most of all embrace happiness for yourself and your new pet.
Skip directly to the Adoption Process steps.
|View adoption center hours & locations
|View adoptable dogs, cats, and small animals
|View adopter applicaton forms
|View current adoption discount programs
BHS adoption counselors are here to help you find your perfect furry friend. Unlike "pass/fail" adoption applications, we strive to match people and animals through education and discovery. We accomplish this by conversation to create an effective, pleasant adoption experience - and most importantly, to make lasting matches.
By cross-referencing your needs with our adoptable pet's existing personality profiles, we are able to help you find the right companion animal for your unique lifestyle and preferences.
Welcoming a new animal into your home is always exciting, but with some extra precautions and preparations, you can ensure this transition is as smooth and stress-free as possible. All members of your household should be in agreement about adopting a new animal, and they should meet any potential new pets before bringing them home. If you are renting, keep in mind your landlord's policy on pets, including additional deposits or any breed or size limitations. Purchasing necessary supplies ahead of time and placing dishes, litterboxes, etc in their permanent locations will further ease the transition. For more tips on preparing your home (and yourself) for a new pet, check out ASPCA's comprehensive guide.
If you are adopting a dog or puppy, please read our dog adoption guide which was created by our canine behavior staff to help you ensure a smooth transition for your family and new dog.
If you are traveling to Chico from another area, click here.
Our website lists all animals currently available for adoption, including adoptable animals that are off-site in foster care or at mobile adoption events. Feel free to walk through our adoption centers to see the animals up close and personal. You may stop by our adoption desk at any time during public hours to ask questions. If you are looking for a specific breed and do not see one on our website, please fill out a breed request form and submit it to the appropriate adoption center.
When you find a pet that you are considering to adopt, return to the adoption desk where you will be asked to complete a brief adoption application. (Alternately, you can download the forms here.) An adoption counselor will meet with you to discuss your adopter survey, the pet's background and personality, and give you a chance to spend time with your potential adoptee - please keep in mind this meeting may occur immediately or by appointment depending on availability. If you are adopting a dog and already have any dogs living or frequently visiting your home, be prepared to bring the other dogs to the Dog Adoption Center to ensure their compatibility.
Once you are confident that you've found the right pet, the counselor will assist you by processing the adoption paperwork and updating the animal's microchip registration records. (We'll notify 24Petwatchtm, an international pet recovery service, that you are the pet's new owner.) Bring a government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport or military ID) and be prepared to spend up to an hour with your adoption counselor while processing your adoption. You'll get an adoption folder containing the animal's medical summary, microchip documentation, current diet information, a list of local veterinarians who offer a free exam to newly adopted pets, BHS clinic price list, and special offers from BHS and our partners.
Remember to bring a carrier for your new cat or leash for your new dog, for the trip home. In most cases, you can take your new pet home with you the same day you come in.
Once you get home, remember to:
As you and your adopted companion embark on this new life together, keep in mind that we too are forever committed to the happiness of you and your pet. If you have any questions, issues or concerns about your new friend once you get home, please don't hesitate to call us. Our adoption support team is here to help! Contact us at 530.343.7917 x203 or email@example.com.
Additional resources for animal care, training and education may also be found under the "Resources" section of our website. More information on pet vaccinations can be found here.
