DIY: Belt Replacement 2003 330xi
Just did the belts on my '03 330xi (manual, auto
be a bit different) this weekend and figured I'd post a DIY for this very simple task that may seem like a bigger deal that it really is. Dealers charge way too much for this!
First of all, you are responsible for what you do to your car, not me. These are simply the steps I used to perform the task. (Note that for this DIY "left" and "right" are as you are standing in front of the car looking at the engine). Now that that is over with...
These are the two belts being replaced, the smaller is the AC belt and the larger is the alternator/serpentine belt. I bought the pair for about $20.
Here are the tools that I used to change the belts. You can easily get by with fewer but I do quite a bit of work on my cars so have tons of tools. The "special" tools you may not have in your collection are the following: T25 Torx bit socket, T50 Torx bit socket, and 8mm Hex bit socket. You can buy these from Sears or ACE Hardware pretty cheaply.
First you need to remove the air intake piece that sits on top of the fan shroud by pulling out the three retaining clips that the arrows point to. Carefully pry up the part that looks like a nail head with the screwdriver just enough so you can grab it with the needle nose pliers. Once you have it with the pliers just pull slowly and steadily and it will come out. Be extra careful if you are working in the cold as the plastic could be brittle. Once the three clips are removed you should be able to lift up the intake and wiggle it out of the rubber connection to the air filter housing.
Here is a pic of what you are pulling out.
Now the air intake is off.
Next remove the bolt on the left holding the fan shroud in. This is where you will use the T25 Torx bit. Interestingly enough the "bolt" on the right side is actually another of those plastic connectors similar to those that held the intake in. Carefully remove that like you did the others.
Once those are out you need to remove the two electrical connectors on the left side of the shroud. The smaller connector might be a little tough to remove, you push the tab on the top down and carefully wiggle it off. The big connector should be pretty easy to get off.
Once you have the electrical connectors off you will need to remove the wires from the retainer holding it to the shroud. I found this to be the hardest part of the DIY :-). The retainer doesn't really bend so you need to lift the shroud a bit so you can get your fingers in there to wiggle out the wires. Be careful as you don't want to break through the insulation on the wires.
Once that is done you should be able to easily (and slowly) lift the fan/shroud combo out of the car, the right side may catch a bit so be careful. Here is the fan and shroud after it has been removed.
Take a look where the shroud was in the car and note the location of the retaining clips on the car. You will need to make sure that the shroud slips into all of them properly when putting it back in.
OK, now that that is out of the way here is a pic of the belts we need to replace. Note the location of the two belt tensioners that we will need to detention to get the belts off.
Here is a closeup of the AC belt with the tensioner in the middle, the AC belt needs to come off first.
Can only post 12 pics at a time I guess so on to the next batch...

By Deb Mercurio (HQ, Installation Management Command Public Affairs)May 18, 2010
WASHINGTON D.C. - Being the 33rd person to be a certified master black belt for the Army is a good thing. Being the first for the Installation Management Command is a great thing.
Molly M. Kihara, Ph.D., continuous process improvement specialist for IMCOM Pacific Region, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Shafter, Hawaii, received Army Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt (MBB) certification May 10 from the Army Office of Business Transformation. The Army has green belt, black belt and master black belt programs.
"To me, certification validates my multiple-hat capability to teach, advise, coach, lead and be a change agent. Master Black Belt leadership includes identifying opportunities, defining and justifying projects, and negotiating resources for continuous process improvement so that we can be advocates of changing the way we do business," said Kirhara, a native of Honolulu, Hawaii.
On its Web site, the office of the deputy undersecretary of the Army for business transformation describes Lean Six Sigma as "a business improvement methodology that maximizes shareholder value by achieving the fastest rate of improvement in customer satisfaction, cost, quality, process speed and invested capital."
Lean Six Sigma is actually a blend of two disciplines. The root of Lean and Six Sigma reaches back to the time when the manufacturing industry was under great pressure for quality and speed. Lean rose as a method for optimizing automotive manufacturing; Six Sigma evolved as a quality initiative to eliminate defects by reducing variation in processes in the semiconductor industry.
The key concept of Lean Six Sigma is the recognition that one cannot do "just quality" or "just speed." One needs the balanced process that can help an organization to focus on improving service quality, as defined by the customer within a set time limit.
Kihara's experience as a black belt, significant experience and management of projects, mastery of advanced skills in the area of leadership, coaching, and statistical analysis led to her certification to become a certified master black belt. She serves as an advisor and consultant to management and colleagues and is a trainer for Black Belt, Green Belt, and project sponsor courses.
As indicated in the Installation Management Campaign Plan, a key function of the enterprise process is the continued use of input and feedback by the Army family - Soldiers, families, and civilians. Her project, which led to her certification, identifies and prioritizes ways to improve the opportunities for senior commanders to have a voice in determining what infrastructure and services are required at the garrisons.
"Dr. Kirhara serves as an excellent role model for the IMCOM community. Through her expertise, process improvements-based on data and customer needs-eliminate unnecessary steps and reduce defects allowing us to free up resources and wisely redirect them to value-adding activities increasing productivity and contributes to our soldiers, families, and civilians' quality of life," said John B. Nerger, IMCOM executive director.

|SSISD students score high on reading, writing
in TAKS testing
But district taking steps to bolster math, science results
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
June 18, 2006 -- Sulphur Springs students scored high enough on the latest round of standardized tests to earn a passing grade, but the local school district is taking determined steps to bolster scores and help more students pass the tests.
Reading and writing were Sulphur Springs Independent School District students' best subjects on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills exams, with more students passing those categories in the three other test areas.
Conversely, math and science continued to be the district's two weakest subjects.
TAKS standards this year required only 60 percent of students to pass the reading/English language arts, writing and social studies sections of the test, while only 40 percent were required to pass mathematics and only 35 percent to pass science in order to receive an academically acceptable or higher district rating, according to data provided by the school district.
Reading/English language arts
In reading/English language arts (ELA), overall passing rates by grade ranged from a high of 98 percent for third graders to 84 percent of juniors.
Other passing rates were 90 percent of fourth graders, 92 percent of fifth graders, 85 percent of seventh graders, 92 percent of eighth graders, 89 percent of freshmen, 92 percent of sophomores and 84 percent of juniors passed the test. Third and sixth grade special education students had a 100 percent pass rate.
Students in certain subsets in seventh grade, ninth grade, 10th grade and 11th grade had the most difficulty with the reading/ELA test. Only 59 percent of African American seventh graders passed, while 57 percent of seventh grade special education students, 17 percent of ninth grade limited English proficiency (LEP) students, 15 percent of 10th grade LEP, 29 percent of 10th grade special education, 58 percent of 10th grade Hispanic; 59 percent of 11th grade Hispanic and 44 percent of 11th grade LEP students passed.
Only fourth and seventh graders were tested in writing. Overall, 97 percent of fourth graders and 95 percent of seventh graders passed the test. Hispanic seventh graders were the only subset to have a 100 percent pass rate. The lowest pass percentage was 88 percent by fourth grade LEP students.
Social studies
At least 78 percent of students in each of the three grades tested passed the social studies exam. High school juniors did the best with 90 percent overall passing. Eighth graders had an 87 percent pass rate and 10th graders a 78 percent pass rate. LEP students and special education students had the most difficult time overall in social studies, with 10th grade LEP students showing only a 63 percent and 11th grade a 33 percent pass rate. Eighth and 10th grade special education students had a 67 percent pass rate compared to the 57 pass rate among 11th grade special ed students taking social studies tests.
Math and Science
Math and science continued to be the district's two weakest subjects. Math scores appreciably decreased beginning in sixth grade, whereas science scores dropped significantly in both eighth and 10th grades. This year's 11th graders, however, had 14 percent more passing science than 10th grade.
MATH: Passing the math test were 91 percent of third graders, 92 percent of fourth graders, 97 of fifth graders, 85 percent of sixth graders, 74 percent of seventh graders, 72 percent of eighth graders, 53 percent of freshmen, 54 percent of sophomores and 71 percent of juniors. Fifth grade special education and LEP students did best on the math test, with 100 and 99 percent pass rates, respectively.
SCIENCE: Only fifth grade, eighth grade, 10th and 11th grades were tested in science. Overall, 88 percent of fifth graders and 77 percent of eighth graders passed the TAKS science test. Those numbers continued falling, however, with only 54 percent of 10th graders and 68 percent of 11th graders passing.
LEP and special education students had the most difficulty passing, with only 17 percent of fifth grade LEP and 10th grade special education students passing, and only 55 percent of 8th grade special education, eight percent of 10th grade and 11 percent of 11th grade LEP students passing science.
The district is taking determined steps to bolster low math and science scores and to help special student populations having considerably more difficulty than other subsets in passing the test.
"We really are focusing on areas we need some change in, and are working to improve those areas," said Director of Elementary Education Connie Mabe.
Those efforts range from special course-specific summer school classess to curriculum alignment from kindergarten through 12th grade and special training for teachers of math and science courses.
The 2 percent of third grade students who did not pass the reading/ELA test will be given three chances to take the test, and the 18 fifth grade students yet to pass either the reading or math TAKS are enrolled in summer school TAKS classes alongside the 90 bilingual students up to fifth grade enrolled in summer school classes at Lamar Elementary June 5-July 13. Those students will retest this summer.
For middle schoolers, summer classes began on May 31 and conclude July 6. High school TAKS exit level tutorials begin June 26 and conclude July 10, overlapping with the regular high school summer school classes offered for the first time in a number of years from June 5-July 13. Students in TAKS summer school are being tutored in math, science and other exit level courses. High school students will retest on exit level TAKS July 11-14.
Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers met June 6-7 and began working together to align the curriculum to be progressive from grade to grade, but also to establish continued terminology and to develop curriculum not addressed in text books yet which they must know on TAKS, Mabe told school board members Monday night.
Then, June 8, middle school teachers were trained in math exemplar, which essentially means they worked on means to improve middle schoolers' problem solving skills by teaching them to draw diagrams to solve word problems, and to hone in on words to help them solve the problems. This gets away from computation and walks them through the problem solving process from beginning to end, according to Mabe.
Another measure to help middle schoolers in math is the addition of sixth-eighth grade TAKS math classes.
Monday and Tuesday of this week, math specialist and elementary consultant Marcy Cook conducted a math workshop for third through fifth grade math teachers, to help them learn problem solving strategies incorporating "math manipulatives" to help students understand abstract math concepts.
The workshop by the world renowned educator, author and specialist was paid for by a grant. Cook on Monday taught hands-on number sense and on Tuesday demonstrated ways to make word problems more concrete using hands-on examples as a means to improve student scores, according to Mabe.
Cross's skills also lend themselves to manipulatives and strategies for special testing subsets, such as socioeconomic groups and special programs. For example, if special education students, economically disadvantage, limited English proficiency or African American students scored particularly low in certain grade levels on the TAKS, her training allowed her to point out different or alternate strategies to better reach those students at their learning level to bolster understanding.
The district also contracted with Betty Bates, a former East Texas science teacher now working with the education service center. Bates will work periodically throughout the school year with science teachers, pointing out weak areas where teachers could place more focus. She will begin working with middle school science teachers next week, and with high school teachers when school starts.
Last year, teachers also were charged with adding more hands-on science activities, incorporating at least one lab project a week so students can get a first-hand look at science topics during practical applications.
John Crane, who specializes in curriculum alignment, will also be brought in again to work particularly with sixth through ninth grade staff for continuity of core topics for a better transition from middle to high school course work.
She also noted that while all student subsets count toward AEIS ratings and on federal accountability checks of adequate yearly progress, state accountability does not include LEP and special education students. Also, if middle school and high school do not meet the adequate yearly progress standards those marks do not count against the district on AYP rankings because they are not Title I schools.
What tests and on which accountability results they are counted vary for special education students depending on their needs and the phase of testing administered this year, and accountability standards, Mabe said.

Read wisely and widely, literature will usually provide answers to the great mysteries of the human condition. Except when it comes to how to maintain an active sex life in a monogamous relationship; on that the great – and the not-so-great – novelists are almost entirely silent. Until the end of the 19th century, sex was not something that was deemed appropriate reading matter for the middle and upper classes: chaste kisses and lingering looks that hinted at raging desires were about as racy as it got.
Even if Jane Austen had been free to write about sex, it doesn't seem as if she would have had much enthusiasm for it. The pleasure in Pride and Prejudice is all in the social twists and turns, the will-they-won't-they-of-course-they-will, with Elizabeth and Darcy's wedding merely the pay-off.
When novelists did turn their pens on married couples, it was almost invariably to examine the end of these relationships rather than to dwell on their fulfilment. Rather than looking for new ways to revive her marriage to the desperately dull Karenin – as a modern-day therapist might suggest – Anna eventually runs off to find new levels of unhappiness with her lover, Vronsky. So too, Emma Bovary, who ditches her boring, provincial husband, Charles, for the more exciting Leon, only to end up dosing herself with arsenic when the affair has run its course. However much you may feel for these great heroines, death is the price they have to pay for having indulged their lust. The morality of the era demanded nothing less.
Women fared little better even with the birth of modernism and proto-feminism in the 1920s. Virginia Woolf's Clarissa Dalloway is stifled within a moth-balled marriage; she does not seek to improve her relationship with Richard, nor does she surrender to the possibility of an affair. Rather she sublimates her desires into the niceties of proper manners: Mrs Dalloway's punishment is a living death.
Throughout all these novels, sex was still implicit, with the focus on the consequences rather than the deed itself. A blessing, perhaps, given how many writers have subsequently written so badly about sex. And when it was up for grabs – as it were – the future of monogamy didn't look any less bleak. Constance Chatterley longs for "an integrated life" – a euphemism for a decent sex life – but is denied it with her husband who has returned disabled from the war and she can only achieve it with Mellors, the gamekeeper – a commoner who has not lost touch with the Earth, Nature and, most importantly of all, Capital Letters.
Even with the sexual liberation of the 1960s, marriage was the kiss of death to most novelists. Couples – typified by John Updike's Couples – existed in fiction primarily to be unfaithful to each other. One of the few modern writers to have attempted to portray a long-term happy marriage with a fulfilled and active sex life is Ian McEwan in Saturday. Almost certainly unintentionally, though, Henry Perowne, the neurosurgeon protagonist, emerges as one of the more annoying characters in 21st-century fiction as he does everything so perfectly – including make love to his wife so they always have simultaneous orgasms – that it's hard not to dislike him. Other people's sexual and emotional success does not always make good reading.
And so, counter-intuitively for an act that is revered for its creative spontaneity, it has generally been to non-fiction that the curious have been forced to turn for sexual self-improvement. The first widely read sex manual was Marie Stopes's Married Love, published in 1918, a revolutionary feminist text in which women's sexual desires were treated on a par with men's. The book was banned in the US and scorned in the UK by its mostly male reviewers, but still sold 750,000 copies by the time the US censor allowed its publication in 1931. By today's standards, though, it is fairly tame. As a guide to informing women they had a right to expect more than statutory rape on their wedding night, it was invaluable; as a means of achieving sexual satisfaction, it was still groping between the sheets.
It did, however, establish the sex manual as a genre. In 1934, the philosopher novelist Arthur Koestler, writing under the name of Dr A Costler, wrote the first of a trilogy of sexual encyclopaedias, complete with monochrome illustrations and colour plates. Whether he was quite the man to be handing out this advice is rather more debatable, as he was subsequently revealed to be a rapist, who defended his actions in a letter to his second wife by saying, "without an element of rape there is no delight".
The real breakthrough for sex manuals into the mainstream came in the early 1970s when The Joy of Sex spent more than a year in the top five of the New York Times bestseller lists. The aim of the book was to do for sex what recipe books had done for cooking, and bring a range of delights beyond the missionary position into the bedrooms of those who had heard of the sexual revolution but never encountered it.
The style was chattier and less clinical than previous manuals – less emphasis on "inserting X into Y" – but there was still something quite joyless about The Joy of Sex. In large part this was down to the illustrations, which made it look as though adventurous sex was the preserve of a consenting woman in Birkenstocks and an earnest bearded teacher.
Four years ago, The Joy of Sex was updated with a racier text and rather more joyful images, and it remains the basic textbook for anyone whose sex life may be stalling but is not yet ready to see a relationship counsellor. After opening with the point that sex is an expression of intimacy rather than something that might occasionally lead to intimacy if both partners have downed the necessary units of alcohol, it doesn't kill all the fun by going on and on about the importance of talking about your feelings at all times.
Rather, The Joy of Sex is a cookbook, complete with a list of possible ingredients, appetisers, main courses and "sauces and pickles", leaving you to pick and choose. If you want to avoid the finer points of "ben wa balls" – (me neither) – "skin gloves and thimbles", "boutons", "ligottage" and "les anneaux", then the author isn't going to think any the worse of you.
And that's rather my problem with Dr Pam Spurr – she of Loose Women and This Morning – whose Sex Academy is one of the new generation of manuals that tells it as she sees it. Unfortunately, she recommends a series of lessons and rules that, for those of us whose school days were punctuated by failure and detentions, is a bit of an initial turn-off. But for over-achieving, competitive, alpha couples who like nothing better than to mark each other's daily contribution to their sexual wellbeing, Dr Pam should tick most of the boxes.
The less said about many of the other manuals that fell across my desk, the better. The Manhattan Madam's Secrets to Great Sex should probably have been renamed, How Every Woman Should Be a Hooker in Bed, seeing as its subtitle is Expert Advice for Becoming the Best Lover He's Ever Had. That's right, women! You'd better shape up for us stud muffins or you're toast! And don't even think of offering me advice on becoming the best lover she's ever had because I already am.
Inevitably, too, Fifty Shades of Grey has spawned its own mini industry of How To guides. For those with an interest in BDSM, Fifty Shades of Play offers an in-depth guide to flogging instruments, electrostimulation, crotch ropes and torture. Step 50, by the way, is "Aftercare". Thanks, but no thanks.
Still you can't say that there aren't now manuals on the market to cover every arcane sexual avenue. Sex manuals are now big business. Serious business. Though how serious is still, mercifully, up to you.

Dear Sweet Spirit Kenny,
I am ashamed of myself. I am 17-years old, and since I was 11, I started to shoplift.
When I was 13, I would take a large shopping bag with me, wear an old pair of shoes, go to a "Class A" department store, try on several pairs of shoes and when I found a pair I liked and wanted to wear, I'd put the old pair in the bag and wear the new pair out of the store.
In my closet I have about 2 racks of unpaid-for shoes. Also, the past two summers, I went into several different fashionable stores, took some dresses into the dressing room and tried them on. I'd tear off the price tag, take off the shorts and top I'd worn, put them in the shopping bag and wear the dress home. I have enough elegant clothes to go to an "A" List party.
A couple of Sundays ago, our minister centered his sermon around something like "any person who takes what is not his or hers shall never be truly happy." Was the minister's sermon meant for me? Did he know somehow?
Please help me, I feel cheap.
Dear Sweet Spirit N.G.:
The moment I felt your vibrations on your envelope, I felt sorrow. You are punishing yourself but you have already started to redeem yourself by recognizing your problem.
There may be girls that you're trying to impress by having better shoes or better clothes but unless you come by them honestly, it is not in the least impressive. They can walk with their heads held high while you say you are feeling ashamed. You know you would never want to have them know how you really got that pair of shoes or the dress.
I feel you are starting to change. Don't rely on material items to gain you acceptance or friends. True friends won't care about those things – they will be more interested in the inner you. My advice is to never go into a store alone. Be with one of your friends who is honest and trustworthy, and only shop when you know you can afford something.
You felt that your minister's comments were meant for you. They weren't, but you were sent to church to hear them and recognize your problem and the guilt you feel over it.
Thus far, whether you believe it or not, the spirit angels have been protecting you so that you haven't been apprehended. But you cannot count on that happening any longer. By all means, stop now while you're ahead.
The next time you go into any church, whether you belong to it or not, drop some money into the poor box. It will lift your heart.
Good luck and please – I know when you write to me within the next six months instead of signing your letter N.G you will be calling yourself "A New Girl."
Dear Kenny,
First let me thank you for having this column. You must realize that you are helping hundreds of people because when you choose one person's letter and their problem, you are helping lots of other people with the same problem.
My father passed away when I was 3-years old. When I was 6-years old, my mom married a man who was a pharmacist. My dad was an insurance salesman. I have two older brothers, a younger sister and two older sisters.
My siblings all love our stepfather. I wish I could love him the way they do. I like him, mostly because he loves Mom and is good in every way to us kids. But how can I make myself love him?
Dear H.H.:
You already like him since you've admitted that he shares a love with your mom and is good to you and your brothers and sisters. Believe me, I feel you will continue to grow in your feelings for him if you look deeper into the relationship he has with your entire family.
However, we can't make ourselves love someone, or make someone love us. Also, subconsciously you are comparing the man to your birth father, whom you obviously loved a great deal. But my spirit guides tell me you mustn't compare him in this way. People are all different and have special qualities – so let your stepfather's qualities shine.
You may never love him the way you loved your biological father. Like many families, there is bound to be a "favorite," whether it's a sibling or a parent.
You realize that your stepfather is fulfilling a need for your mom, and that's important. Try to focus on the positive aspects of the family relationship.
I feel that when you begin a serious relationship of your own and start a family, you will focus less on your mother and stepfather and more on your own new family. This will be the best thing for all concerned.

New Scott Pilgrim Trailer Online
Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday
It's like, OMG, a new Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World trailer, and it's now even funnier, more action packed and video-gamier than ever. Right now our excitement levels for this one are at 100% and rising, quite frankly - and yours will be too once you see this promo.
More clearly than ever this shows the gleefully giddy videogame-iness of the story, the awesomeness of Scott's friends (anyone else think that Kieran Culkin might run away with the movie?), and gives us a few more glimpses of the Evil Exes, including a decent snippet showing that Brandon Routh is more than just a Superman.
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is out on August 25, which is not nearly soon enough.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 inch of olive oil until shimmering. Add the crab cakes and cook over moderate heat until browned and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve the crab cakes with the chipotle mayonnaise.
Make Ahead

TRURO – This summer will be a blast from the past for students who graduated from Cobequid Educational Centre 40 years ago.
Marian Munroe (nee Wilson), Kathy Burrows and Ian Legate are working on organizing a 40th anniversary reunion for their fellow graduates of 1974.
"I've never received any notifications of any previous reunions, and both Ian and I were at the 1973 reunion last year," said Munroe, adding graduates from 1975 are also invited to the reunion this coming August.
"We wanted to go to the 1973 class reunion for the nostalgia. We're all getting older and we realize it might not be possible to get together soon."
The reunion is scheduled for Aug. 16, 2014, and Munroe is hoping to get the word out to as many of the 300 or so people on her list as possible.
"We would like to see a good 50 per cent of them at the reunion. We're all scattered over at least three continents. We've already had some feedback from some people that now live out west that have contacted us with an interest in coming home," she said.
To help with the contact process, the organizers are turning to social media and the Internet to get in touch with those they graduated with.
A private group has been created on Facebook (www.facebook.com/groups/CEC74), as well as a public fan page (www.facebook.com/cobequideducationalcentre1974). Munroe has also started a blog at http://1974-cec-2014.blogspot.ca.
"Of the 300 or so names, I think I have about 50 email addresses," she said. "I know there are a lot of our classmates on Facebook. There is a group called 'You know you're from Truro when,' so I started there."
Munroe said a lot of people have contacted her through the blog site, which also includes contact information.
"We wanted to start (organizing) early and personally invite all our former classmates. It's a slow process."
Legate is working on booking the entertainment for the reunion, but doesn't have anything confirmed yet that he can publicly announce. He's hoping for concrete confirmation in the next couple of weeks.
He declined to give any hints as to what he's working on.
"If I did and it didn't happen, there would be disappointment," he said. "But I can say that whoever the entertainment is, it will be a special surprise."
Along with the Facebook page and group, and blog, those wanting more information on attending can email Munroe at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Allen has been Kansas City's best defensive player for a few years now, but improved his game last season to become one of the best in the league. A recent analysis by ESPN revealed Allen as the league's most skilled pass rusher in 2007, based on his ability to beat one-on-one blocks and his variety of pass-rush moves.
That isn't to say Allen is perfect. Far too often he seems to be taken out of games in the second half, once teams are able to make their halftime adjustments and react to him. But no criticism of his play is strong enough to offset the fact that the Chiefs need to sign him long-term.
DE Tamba Hali
Hali followed up his impressive rookie season with a solid but slightly underwhelming 2007 performance. His stats were mostly right on par with his first year effort, but the nagging injuries he battled all season kept him from taking that next step in his development.
If Hali can avoid the injury bug in 2008, he should bounce back with a strong season – perhaps double-digit sacks are in the future. If the Chiefs were to use their first-round draft pick on a top defensive lineman, the biggest impact could be made on Hali, who has the versatility to be used in a variety of ways to create mismatches along the defensive front.
Will Turk McBride become the three-technique DT the Chiefs need?
Jamie Squire - Getty
Speaking of versatile linemen, McBride is listed on Kansas City's web site as a defensive end, but saw most of his action last season at defensive tackle. He appeared on the depth chart as the primary backup to both Jared Allen and Ron Edwards, and while he could be serviceable as an end, it's as a quick, penetrating three-technique tackle where he offers the most value.
Whether he's capable of performing that job is something that remains to be seen. McBride will certainly see more action in 2008 than he saw as a rookie, so the questions surrounding him should be answered during the upcoming season.
DT Alfonso Boone
Signed last year in free agency, Boone flat out dominated offensive linemen over the first half of 2007. His performance against the Packers, for instance, saw him singled out for praise by Sports Illustrated's Peter King even though the Chiefs lost the game.
But Boone appeared to tire out during the second half of the season. Considering the lack of playing time that Tank Tyler and Turk McBride received, perhaps Boone and the other linemen played more than expected and simply ran out of gas. If Tyler proves to be a solid option in 2008, Boone will have more opportunities to rest during games.
DT Ron Edwards
Edwards has been a full-time starter since signing with the Chiefs two years ago. Although he hasn't made the sort of impact Boone initially had, Edwards has been an improvement from the days of Lional Dalton, Ryan Sims, and John Browning.
His role as a starter is probably up for grabs with the team going young, but he should be a solid part of the rotation in any case.
Can Tank Tyler shed the label of draft bust?
Jamie Squire - Getty
With the bad luck the Chiefs have had drafting defensive tackles in recent years, hope has been high that Tank would be the one to finally reverse the trend. But in that same vein, when he didn't pay dividends in his rookie year, fear rose immediately that he's just another name in a long line of busts at the position.
Tank's role should expand considerably in 2008, so the pressure is on him to start calming those fears.
The Chiefs' defensive line is solid, but is by no means perfect. The most immediate issue it faces is a lack of depth. The versatility of Turk McBride helps, but one man can't serve as a fill-in for an entire unit.
While nobody would expect a backup player to be able to fully replace Jared Allen for a game if necessary, the Chiefs do need some reserves who are capable of holding their own. At the moment they don't even have warm bodies, let alone quality backups.
Kansas City boasts one of the best defensive end combos in the league with Allen and Hali, but once Boone began to fade last season, the play from middle of the line was only average at best. It's for this reason that many have speculated about the Chiefs drafting LSU's Glenn Dorsey or USC's Sedrick Ellis in the upcoming draft.
To dominated within the Cover 2 scheme, the Chiefs need their own version of Warren Sapp. Having Hali and Allen rushing off the edges, an elite three-technique defensive tackle coming through the middle, and a big body like Boone eating up space would give Kansas City one of the best defensive lines in the league.

The animated film starring Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez scores the biggest September opening weekend in history, besting previous record holder 'Sweet Home Alabama'.
After incessant slow weekends throughout September, North American box office is finally topped by a movie which debuts to more than $20 million. Sony Pictures' animated pic "Hotel Transylvania", which receives a sizzling "A-" CinemaScore from the audience, successfully claims the champion title with $42.5 million.
The result marks the biggest September opening weekend of all time, besting "Sweet Home Alabama" which collected $35.6 million in September 2002. The Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez-starring family movie also becomes the best result to date for Sony's animation unit.
Sony's big win this weekend doesn't stop there as its other film, "Looper", also opens to a solid result at the end of the month. Receiving a "B+" CinemaScore, the mind-bending sci-fi movie starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis takes in $20.8 million and places second.
Of the astounding result for its two movies, Sony's President of Distribution Rory Bruer says, "More than anything, this film has been such a collaboration of talent, and it paid off in such a huge way. Everyone in our company just loved this film. And to perform at this level in September shows that 'Hotel Transylvania' has something for everyone. And to have a second film ['Looper'] do so well is an incredible feat."
Last week's chart-topper "End of Watch" drops to the third place with $7.8 million for a total domestic cume of $26.1 million after two weeks of playing Stateside. Landing on the fourth and fifth places respectively are "Trouble with the Curve" with $7.2 million and "House at the End of the Street" with $71. million.
Other newcomers "Pitch Perfect" and "Won't Back Down" open to the sixth and tenth spots respectively. The former bags $5.1 million, a quite pleasing result since it is released in only 335 theaters. The latter, on the other hand, debuts to a dismal $2.6 million despite the fact that it is screened in 2,515 theaters nationwide.
Top Ten Movies at Box Office for September 28-30:
- "Hotel Transylvania" - $42.5 million
- "Looper" - $20.8 million
- "End of Watch" - $7.8 million
- "Trouble with the Curve" - $7.2 million
- "House at the End of the Street" - $7.1 million
- "Pitch Perfect" - $5.1 million
- "Finding Nemo" 3D - $4 million
- "Resident Evil: Retribution" - $2.9 million
- "The Master" - $2.6 million
- "Won't Back Down" - $2.6 million

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
I can help you.
An early ultrasound is the most accurate way to predict conception date.
The only thing more accurate is if you have IVF or only one possible day.
An ultrasound done between 6-10 weeks is especially accurate but anything below 12 weeks is very accurate.
After that, the baby will grow at different rates based on genetics, nutrition, etc.
But before 12 weeks, babies all grow at the same rate under normal circumstances.
Any questions?
If not please click accept.
if you have sex with 2 partners 14 days apart...would it be possible to rule one out based on ultrasound dating?
If you have an ultrasound before 12 weeks, we can nail it down.
Oh yes.
The viation of ultrasoun before 12 weeks is just a few days.
It's much harder if there are only a few days between the possible dates of conception.
14 days is plenty.
And harder later in the pregnancy.
ok so i had an ultrasound done on 2/24 that dated the pregancny at 5 weeks 5 days and another on 2/27 that dated the pregnancy at 5 weeks 2 days....that is a 6 day difference....that is pretty big right?
Let me calculate it.
So conception was somewhere aroun January 30th to February 5th range.
That is a pretty tight range
What were the 2 potential conception dates?
well there is january 14th with one person and then january 27th and 29th with the other
Ultrasounds are a little more accurate past 6 weeks because the fetus is easier to see.
The 14th is out.
january 14th used a condom one time to completion and then no condom second time but no ejaculation second time
Conception was from the sex on the 27-29
i also took the morning afterpill....does that affect ovulation?
The 14th is not the father.
If you got pregnant on the 14th, than the ultrasound would've show 8 weeks.
They would not have made an error confusing a 5+ week with an 8 week pregnancy.
The only way is if the pregnancy ended in miscarriage and the baby stopped growing.
i google way to much...so here is my question...isn't it possible for sperm to live in vagina for 7 days and then take an addition 14 days to implant?
Morning after pill can delay ovulation.
so doesnt that make it possible to the the 14th?
Yes sperm can live in the vagina for 7 days, and yes it can take up to 14 days for implantation but during those 14 days, the baby is already growing.
If you go on to have a healthy pregnancy, than it cannot be from the 14th.
If you go on to have a miscarriage, than it can be either.
should i be worried about the difference in ultrasound dates?
No, babies during the 5th week are hard to measure.
They are much easier to measure between 6-12 week.
If you can, get a repeat ultrasound in a couple of weeks.
That will settle it.
If the pregnancy is healthy, the growth will be good, the heartbeat will be clear and the measurement most accurate.
I do not think you got pregnant from the 14th if you have currently a healthy pregnancy.
Any other questions?
are hcg levels a good indication of a healthy pregnancy
If you watched them taking the measurement, you saw how small it is.
It depends alot on where they put those little white cross markers.
If they juggle their hand a little while tapping it into position, it can change the day byt a few days when they are so small.
Yes, if you get 2 hcgs 48 hours apart, than it should almost double in value.
If it doesn't clearly double, than getting a third one in another 48 hours will usually settle the question.
Anything lese?
If not please click accept so I get credit for my time and advice.
so if this is a healthy pregnancy you believe there is no way it could be from the 14th?
The bhcg should be steady going up just under double each time.
yes that is correct.
is cramping this early normal?
Yes cramping is normal as the implantation takes hold.
It is normal.
Even a little spotting can be ok.
is it too early to tell if this is a healthy pregnancy?
No, this is a good time to ask for the hcgs
Get 3 of them 48 hours apart and that will give you the answer.
i had them done on 2/20 at 2846 and again 39 hours later on 2/22 and the were 4296....should i have gotten another one? and do hcg levels correlate to what can be seen on an ultrasound?
Yes one more would be helpful.
I need to do something for a few minutes, let me look at that number better in a few minjutes. It didn't quite double.
Ok, now I can concentrate again.
So the second one was drawn a bit early so the known calculations can't be run on the number.
So yes getting a thrid one even at this stage would be helpful.
No the numbers do not correlate with what is seen on the ultrasound.
should i request it from my doctor?
Yes you can.
That will be the fastest way to determine if the pregnancy is healthy.
Alternatively, repeating the ultrasound 1 week after the last one will also be able to tell.
it appeared as though there may have been a yolk sac...is that a good sign?
Yes, we like a normal yolk sac.
That decreases the risk of miscarriage.
Anything else?
no...thank you! but knowing me i will ask all these questions to someone else again!
Ok, that's fine, it's always get to get more opinions, but be sure to click accept so we get credit for our time and we don't mind:)
ok thanks
Hi Dr. Collins,
How possible is it for me to go into an ultrasound next week and have it show me two weeks further along than previously thought?
Google is my worst nightmare...and I had read that doctors have missed the "baby" when measuring not to mention an expert on here has told me that as well. I am sorry to ask so many questions...but this really does affect the rest of my life. Also, for about a week I was really not eating well...I would say less than 500 calories a day...i was still taking the prenatal vitamins though....could this have affected the growth of the baby on the utlrasound?
I had another ultrasound this morning. It showed me at 6 weeks 6 days with a heart beat that went up to 136. Would you be confident in saying that now we can be 100% sure that conception happened after the 29th of January and impossible to have happened after the Jan 14th encounter?
Thank you so much for your patience with me! You have really helped me through this pretty difficult time!
I have been doubting myself again on the paternity of the baby. I realized now that I believe my hcg levels were too high when taken to be indicative of guy number 2. On 2/20 they were 2895 and 2/22 4486 (not taken 48 hours apart) but still high for someone who wasn't really even 5 weeks along at that point correct??

Facing a sizable deficit early, Ohio Rack came all the way back and took the lead.
Undaunted, Buckeye Halleen Kia answered that challenge and ended the Hot Stove League Class H state championship game in walk-off fashion.
Logan Cravates zipped home on a wild pitch with nobody out in the last of the seventh inning, lifting Halleen Kia to an 8-7 win over Ohio Rack at Butler Rodman Field No. 4 Sunday afternoon.
Manager Ryan Pilla, whose Ohio Rack team edged the same Buckeye squad (which was sponsored by Carter Lumber) 8-6 in the HH state title game one year ago, complimented the opponent.
"That's a good team," he said. "They had good pitching, good hitting and played good defense."
Halleen Kia finished with a 10-7 edge in hits. Ben Barnes, who was selected Most Valuable Player and Dylan Dotson collected two hits apiece. Barnes, Chase Miller and Cameron Stout all tripled. Gavin Niese clubbed a double.
Ohio Rack was paced by Luke Tortola with a single and double. Sam Dine and Conner Evanich added two-base hits.
"You can't take anything from my players," said Pilla. "It's hard to get to this point (state title game) two years in a row."
Halleen Kia opened the scoring in the first inning. Barnes, who drew a leadoff walk, scored on a wild pitch.
Ohio Rack retaliated with a two-run second. Tyler Marcoaldi, who was hit by a pitch, scored the first run on a throwing error. Jake Brunner, who singled, scooted home on another errant throw.
Undaunted, Halleen Kia regained the lead with a five-run third. Miller and Barnes triggered the inning with consecutive triples. Barnes put his team ahead 3-2 when he scored on a fielder's choice. Danny Flood drove in the third run of the inning with a grounder to short. Niese capped the outburst with a two-run bloop double to short left.
After being limited to two hits in the first five innings, Ohio Rack exploded offensively in the top of the sixth.
Tortola singled home the first run of the inning. Marcoaldi, who walked, scored on an outfield error. With two outs, Zach Dine blooped a run-scoring single to right to make it a one-run deficit. Cooper Scarlott singled to center, putting runners on first and second. Sam Dine drilled a line drive into the gap in right-center, plating the tying and go-ahead runs.
Halleen Kia tied the game in the last of the sixth inning. Stout tripled to deep right. After the second out was recorded, Ohio Rack committed a throwing error and Stout motored home.
Evaniich doubled to center with one out in the seventh, giving Ohio Rack a chance to regain the lead. Halleen Kia, however, escaped the threat, sending the game into sudden death.
Cravates, who pitched scoreless baseball in the third, fourth and fifth innings, opened the last of the seventh with a single to left. Flood walked, Dotson walked and both runners advanced one base.
With Preston DiMarco at the plate, Ohio Rack uncorked a pitch low and outside which eluded the catcher. Cravates raced down the third-base line and touched home plate, ending the game and the tournament.
Halleen Kia capitalized on being the home team in a tie game in the last of the seventh inning, but Pilla didn't regret being the visiting team.
"We like to bat first and try and put pressure on the other team by scoring first," he explained. "We were able to score late, but you have to give them credit for coming back and winning."

The Do LaB is proud to present Lightning in a Bottle happening Memorial Day Weekend, May 24th - 28th 2012, in Silverado, California. http://lightninginabottle.org/
The annual festival features Art, Music, Workshops, Yoga, Performances, Camping and Sustainability. Choose your own adventure!
A Message of Celebration for 2012:
Happy 2012! As we all embark on this exciting (and perhaps historic) new year, we would like to take a moment to share our intentions for the Do LaB community and Lightning in a Bottle festival. Whether prophesied, or simply the true state of affairs, our community, our nation, and our planet face great change at this particular moment in time. We invite you all to embrace this change and continue celebrating life and our incredible human spirit during these tumultuous times. Though our problems seem many, and solutions difficult, we must remember to approach them with grace, love and celebration for in this attitude lies our best way forward.
LIB has always been about discovering and enacting a different way of living. A way that is more in touch with the earth, with each other, and with ourselves. As the pace of change continues to accelerate all around us, and old ways of thinking begin to reach their logical and useful ends, LIB continues to expand its spiritual and educational aspects so that we, as a community, may boldly embrace and lead the way into this new world. The Temple of Consciousness will be bigger than ever this year and will include inspiring new structures for the yoga and meditation area, as well as the beautiful area for speakers and workshops in the heart of the Temple. At the same time, we have a music and performance lineup brewing (scheduled to be released in March) that could be our best yet and is sure to awaken the celebration of dance that we hold so dear.
We are so happy and proud of the way LIB has been able to continue to grow and mature, while continuing to preserve that indescribable vibe we have all come to love so much. We thank everyone that participates in this event, from the volunteers and the musicians, to the painters, builders, artists and crew, and especially to you for contributing to that feeling that makes everyone feel so welcome and happy to join us in capturing lightning in a bottle, year after year.
We can't wait to see you smiling again, bringing your incredible energy and understanding to help us make Lightning in a Bottle 2012 our greatest year ever!

Ligonier World War II veteran receives Bronze Star Medal after 70-year wait
Harry Wayne Rhodes of Ligonier has waited for nearly 70 years to feel the weight of the Bronze Star Medal pinned to his chest.
Rhodes was wounded in 1944 while serving in Italy in World War II. When he was honorably discharged in 1945, he received the Purple Heart, but never the Bronze Star Medal he deserved.
On Sunday morning, during a service in Calvary United Methodist Church in Ligonier, Rhodes finally received the award during a ceremony that included the Pledge of Allegiance and "The Star-Spangled Banner."
The Bronze Star Medal is an individual military award of the Armed Forces that may be awarded for acts of heroism, acts of merit or meritorious service in a combat zone.
Rhodes realized he never received the award upon hearing the stories of several other veterans who received the medal years after their service.
His grandson, Seth Blazer, started the research into how Rhodes could get the medal, followed with help from Rhodes' cousin, Tom Kenney.
"It was long overdue," Rhodes said after the ceremony, as fellow parishioners stopped by to congratulate him.
His wife, Zeda Rhodes, agreed.
"It's amazing," she said. "I'm so proud for him."
While serving in Company F of the Army starting in September 1943, Rhodes arrived in Naples in March 1944. After surviving a weeklong mortar attack, he was wounded by sniper fire.
While his company was under fire, Rhodes was hit by sniper fire on his left hand, which was right in front of his heart.
"He missed me two times, then the third time he hit me," Rhodes said. "I figured it was time to get out."
The Bronze Star Medal is the fourth-highest award for bravery in the Armed Forces.
Rhodes' grandson Bryan Baird pinned the medal on during the ceremony.
"I'm proud of him," Baird said.
Kenney received help from a congressman in California to get Rhodes the medal. Kenney said that while he is unsure of why Rhodes didn't receive the award when he was discharged, the records could have been difficult to find because several burned in a warehouse in the 1970s.
The citation that accompanied the medal reads, "The House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pays tribute to Harry Wayne Rhodes for enduring countless hardships, making untold sacrifices and placing himself in harm's way to defend and protect the cause of freedom."
Rhodes said he didn't know until recently that he was even entitled to the award, but he said that it never felt like anything was missing.
