article in the Nishinippon Shimbun paper
17 year-old Ms Misaki Sawano of Jonan-ku, Fukuoka City, and 11 other Japanese high school students visited Europe from March 21-26 as part of the international exchange programme on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), led by UNESCO. At the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris as well as at a high school in Heidelberg, Germany, the students made presentations on their activities concerning ESD.
The United Nations promotes ESD since 2005 in view of raising awareness in the future generation on the global environment. The visit of the students was organized within such a framework and Ms Sawano was among those who were selected through an essay contest.
Ms Sawano, who reported on her observation and nature conservation activities at the tidal flat Imazu of Fukuoka, said, "I was shocked by the fact that the coast where horseshoe crab lives is full of garbage. I want to study English more to become a researcher of earth science and to contribute to improving the environment"

In my family, we have food allergies, allergic dermatitis, drug allergies, and in particular, ALLERGIC ASTHMA. I wondered if I could help my daughters' severely allergic asthma by changing how I gardened.
Myself, I can eat nearly anything (except a few certain drugs), touch anything (I've never had poison ivy), breathe anything (I may not enjoy the smell, but it won't hurt me). But when first one daughter then the other developed asthma as an toddler, I started to pay more attention to the types of allergens that can trigger asthma. My husband can't even mow the lawn without breaking out in hives wherever his skin has touched our ordinary grass, so the grass wasn't safe, and neither were the beds, the rugs, or stuffed animals, according to the allergist. What about the cat, I wondered, and what about all my plants? How does thinking about allergies change the way we garden? Could it? Would it? Does it?
After years of battling my daughters' asthma, and a traumatic visit to the allergist, it became clear that the family cat had to go. But how about the garden? The flowering bulbs that burst forth every spring? The perennials and flowering trees that I had been planning for, coddling, and enjoying for years? They could stay, I hoped.
"As certain trees burst into bloom in spring, their pollen wafts through the air in a wanton attempt to reach receptive blossoms. Millions of people with allergies pay the price, in sneezing, wheezing, coughing, drowsiness and itchy, watery eyes, " wrote Thomas Leo Ogren, in April, 2010. I was reading.
I learned that outdoor, inhaled allergens are as plain as the nose on your face...or as plain as the pollen in the flower. If you can see the individual grains of pollen, as you can in the first photo of the bee on the orange flower, below on the right, the grains of pollen are too big to be inhaled. The invisible pollen, produced by ash, maple, and other nondescript or "plain" flowers, is the pollen that causes havoc in your immune system.
More and more kids are diagnosed with asthma each year. It's not clear why, but as doctors shake their heads in concern at rising levels of air pollution, exhausted parents around the country numbly count respiration rates, administer albuterol or other "rescue drugs" and recite the list of possible triggers: dust mites (which can live in bedding, stuffed animals, upholstery, etc.), dust, molds, smoke, pollens (from ash, yew, maple, ragweed, goldenrod, alder and many others).
Pollen is the genetic material of one parent plant being transferred to the other parent plant to create fruit and seeds. In some plants pollen is transferred by insects (bees, butterflies, etc.) or wind-borne. In others, it moves within the plant or even within the flower. Think of the bees that buzz from one tomato blossom to the next, or the butterflies visiting brightly colored flowers. What you probably haven't seen is the butterflies visiting bamboo clumps or ornamental grasses!
Plants like bamboo, grasses, lawn grass, and any trees without prominent flowers are all the ones that make airborne pollen, the stuff that is measured in pollen counts. Pollen counts usually measure the local pollen count accurately for a brief period (hours or days), while molds, also highly allergenic, are more variable and harder to count. Most pollen tends to get "washed off" after a rain; whereas muggy, humid air has more particles suspended in it and thus, a higher pollen count.
Airborne pollen is carried for a long way! Pollen has been collected as far as 400 miles away from its parent plant. You may be allergic to your neighbor's ornamental grass, the hay field a mile away, or the factory in the next county. So while removing all the plants you are especially reactive to is probably a good idea, there is no guarantee of pollen-free air. And we wouldn't want pollen-free air, unless we lived in a sterile greenhouse where pollination had been replaced by vegetative procreation!
As I struggled to put together all the pieces of the allergic asthma puzzle, I did run across some tips to avoid pollen when it is everywhere:
- If possible, stay in an air-conditioned environment until pollen counts are lower. (And change the filter on your air conditioner.)
- If you must go out, do so when it's not windy, to avoid pollen being spread from one area to another.
- Avoid contaminating yourself with pollen--wear a hat, scarf, gloves, long pants, etc.
- If you do get pollen on yourself, wash it off before it gets everywhere! And wash everything you wore in hot water before wearing it again.
- Bathe after your pollen exposure. Wash your clothes and your hair before bed. Change your pillowcase frequently.
- Vacuum (with a HEPA-certified cleaner) and don't dust or sweep, which just stirs up dust particles.
- For more helpful information, try this link about airborne allergies, this link about allergic asthma, or this link to Thomas Ogren, or this one which you can read instead of order.
Jane Brody writes (for The New York Times) that from spring to fall, people in the Eastern United States who are allergic to pollen are miserable. "First [pollen] showers down from sunlit trees, then it flies up from drying grasses and finally, toward the end of summer and through the fall until the first frost, it explodes from flowering weeds," she wrote on April 4, 1995. But now I know, at least, that my poppies, peonies and petunias aren't to blame for her wheezing.

Just do hits – At bar du Casino
December 31, 2017
Christmas Market
December 1 to 3, 2017
Executive Chef of the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu and President of La Table agrotouristique de Charlevoix
" I discovered Charlevoix during a romantic get away. I was 22 years old. I fell under the spells cast by the lady who later became my wife, and Charlevoix's.
I remember this first stay. We were lodging at the Auberge des Trois Canards. Everything was spectacular: Pointe-au-Pic, the river, the food. Let's just say that I was already very quality-conscious about what's in my plate. Even though I was already a chef, never would I have thought that I would be at the head of the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu's kitchens twenty years down the road.
When I arrived in the region, I noticed the passion that regional producers put into creating niche products that stand out and taste like heaven. The Flavour Trail is a must to appreciate the wealth of our terroir and the generosity of our producers. When they become friends with a chef, imagine the results.
For the last four years, I have made it a personal goal to help promote this terroir at the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu's table. When I am not at work, I am never far away. You'll find me on the Manoir Richelieu's golf course or on the back-country road, seeking a good Pieux de Charlevoix, a dry sausage made by my friend Damien from Viandes biologiques de Charlevoix ("Charlevoix's Organic Meats") that we'll sample on Saint-Irénée's Beach. With visitors – and I have many – we always take what I named "the 360° tour", a joyful ride from the farm to the table. This, in my opinion, is the perfect day! Around the kitchen's island, everyone agrees on one thing: the Ferme Basque's Isabelle and Jean-Jacques produce a foie gras that is simply de-li-cious".


text: I was soooo excited to see this movie when it came out. I got tickets online to the first showing on the openeing day in our town! But I have to be honest, it was a bit of a let down; I just didn't enjoy it as much as the first one. What does everyone else think??

An Augusta man told police Sunday that someone has stolen 10 guns from the back office of his business.
About noon, Richmond County deputies were called to 1830 Wylds Road, where Abia Williams told them that he found James Brim, of Arrow Wood Circle, in the back office of Williams' business, a incident report said.
When Williams asked Brim what he was doing there, Brim left without saying anything. Williams checked his safe and found that 10 guns and $1,000 in cash were missing.
Police say two .45-caliber pistols, a 5.7x28mm pistol loaded with armor piercing rounds, two .380-caliber pistols, a .270-caliber rifle and a .450-caliber rifle were stolen.
Williams told police that he confronted Brim after church, and Brim confessed to picking the rear door of the business. Brim told Williams that he stole the guns June 16, the report said.
However, Williams said the guns were stolen between June 19 and Sunday. Police could not locate Brim at the time of the report.

Another Voice: State legislation would help police agencies improve their operations
By Terry O'Neill
Once again, a cellphone video has captured images of police officers apparently using excessive force. I have no criticism whatsoever of the swift action that Buffalo Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda has taken, but this image is out there and it reinforces a general lack of trust in the police on the part, most especially, of citizens of color.
Buffalo is not alone in contemplating vivid images of police use of excessive force. A January incident in a downtown nightclub in the City of Troy has sparked public protest and legislative action calling for inquiry.
And this past year in New York City, the Police Department's over-the-top abuse of its stop-and-frisk tactic led to a landmark federal court decision, the imposition of a federal monitor and strict new legislative oversight of the department, and was a major and deciding factor in the city's mayoral election.
People and the legislative bodies that represent them are fed up with hyper-aggressive police tactics that disproportionately affect minorities. Falling crime statistics notwithstanding, the people want something better from their police. We have a term for that: community policing – a philosophy based on partnership between law enforcement and community stakeholders in solving problems and enhancing community quality of life.
Many local governments have undertaken efforts to evaluate the organization and operations of their law enforcement agencies and to encourage the implementation of the principles of community policing. The Buffalo Common Council did this four years ago when it created a commission on which I served. We quickly found that modern policing has become so sophisticated and technical that a group of volunteers like us needed expert technical assistance and advice. I knew from experience that the state's Division of Criminal Justice Services had the capacity to offer that kind of assistance, but I was informed that the agency didn't have the statutory authority to provide it.
I got involved in the Buffalo commission at the invitation of then-Councilman Michael Kearns, who now represents South Buffalo in the State Assembly. His commitment to improving the state of relations between the people of Buffalo and their Police Department is as strong as ever. He has introduced legislation that would give DCJS the authority to conduct management studies of county and municipal criminal justice agencies at the request of a local executive or legislative body. Such an objective evaluation would give those responsible for shaping and funding municipal services the best possible information on which to base their decisions and give the state a prominent role in promoting community policing.
Terry O'Neill is director of the Constantine Institute, which promotes the highest constitutional, legal, ethical and professional standards in law enforcement.

PALM COAST, Fla. - A 65-year-old Flagler County man was arrested on suspicion of pointed a loaded gun at a landscaper whom he claimed was being rude.
Lee David Williams, of Palm Coast, was arrested Monday on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to a charging affidavit, three landscapers said they were hired by a homeowner, identified as Williams' daughter, to cut down some trees.
The workers told a Flagler County sheriff's deputy that they asked Williams to stay inside for his safety, but he kept coming out of the house. Williams then told the workers to leave and went back inside before returning with a loaded revolver, deputies said.
One of the workers said Willaims cocked the gun and pointed at him, the charging affidavit stated.
Deputies were called to the house, and Williams told them that he was in charge of the house and wanted to watch the landscapers work, the affidavit said. He added that the workers were rude to him, so he told them to leave.
Williams was arrested and taken to the Flagler County Jail.
No one was injured.

Nonlinear Time-Transient in Switched Reluctance Motors (T.E.A.M. Problem 24)Motors and Generators with MagNet
This is a test rig of configuration similar to that of a switched reluctance machine. It is made of solid medium-carbon steel and mounted in a nonmagnetic cage which can rotate about a stainless steel shaft. This example shows a nonlinear transient problem, which was solved by MagNet's Transient 3D solver.
Each stator pole has a 350-turn coil around it, and the rotor is fixed at 22 degrees relative to the stator. A step voltage of 23.1 V is applied to the series connected coils. A search coil is wound around a rotor pole to measure the total magnetic flux, and a Hall probe measures the y-component of the magnetic flux density at a specified position in the air gap between rotor and stator. Finally, a piezoelectric transducer measures the torque on the rotor.
Using MagNet's Transient 3D solver, the current, torque, rotor pole flux and the air gap point flux density are calculated. The simulation results agree well with the measured data published in the problem definition.
The following is based on the Testing Electromagnetic Analysis Methods (T.E.A.M.) problem #24: Nonlinear Time-Transient Rotational Test Rig. The benchmark can be found on the International Compumag Society's website.
METHODS and RESULTS
Material properties are critical to accurate calculations. The T.E.A.M. problem specifies the material B-H curve, but there are not enough data points in the critical region at the "knee" of the B-H curve. By adding one more data point to the material curve, good agreement with experiment was obtained. The graph at right shows where the extra point was added in relation to the original published data.

MagNet's COIL CURRENTS
The graphs illustrate the result of MagNet simulation for the test rig switched reluctance machine.
View larger image
COMPARING MEASURED vs SIMULATED COIL CURRENTS
Comparison of the coil currents between the published T.E.A.M. data and the results obtained from MagNet.The steady state current agrees exactly, since this depends only on the DC resistance of the coils, which is specified. The error in the transient current can be attributed to both experimental error and material modeling error (due to insufficient material data).
View larger image
MagNet's TORQUE RESULTS
COMPARING MEASURED vs SIMULATED TORQUE
Comparison of the torque values between the published T.E.A.M. data and the MagNet results. Since the Magnet uses the half model, the result is the half of the total torque. Torque is one of the more difficult quantities to compute accurately, but these results show that MagNet's torque calculation is accurate.

COMPARING MEASURED vs SIMULATED FLUX DENSITY
The flux density values obtained from MagNet are compared with the published T.E.A.M. data. The experimental data was obtained using a Hall probe in the air gap. In MagNet, the field sampler tool allows quick and easy plotting of any field over either space or time, and of course it is even possible to probe inside components, something a Hall sensor cannot do.

Last year's U.S. presidential election sparked international euphoria. Americans had chosen the "anti-Bush"! The jubilation overseas reflected a belief that, as president, Barack Obama would think less like an American and more like the rest of the world. Mr. Obama had done much to encourage this belief. Traveling to Berlin in July 2008, the candidate unveiled what would become his theme for presidential foreign policy speeches: an apology for American actions.
"I know my country has not perfected itself," he confessed. "At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to its best intentions." The German audience and the world lapped it up.
Once in office, Mr. Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton emphasized a new era of communication with audiences worldwide. Public diplomacy had been a problem area for the George W. Bush administration, but the new administration pushed its message aggressively to young audiences via the new media, Internet and cell-phone technology. Marketing the personal appeal of the president to audiences in Africa and the Muslim world seemed especially promising.
Being personally popular and publicly apologetic about the United States may be enough to win a Nobel Prize, but it's no way to conduct effective foreign policy. Indeed, setting the bar of expectations so high has actually created a problem. Even media solidly on the side of the Obama administration have started to notice.
The Washington Post, for example, still praises Mr. Obama's vision of a world of "shared interests." However, that praise is now tempered by the dawning reality that "on the farthest-reaching U.S. foreign policy challenges, he is struggling to translate his own popularity into American influence, even with allies that have celebrated his break with the Bush administration's emphasis on military strength, unilateral action and personal chemistry."
On critical challenges such as Iran and Afghanistan, the president has failed to persuade even friendly governments to support American positions. On major multilateral issues such as the Doha trade round, the administration has demonstrated no leadership.
Mr. Obama also has disappointed the global Greens on climate change, an issue of almost religious significance to Europeans. Rather than fervently embrace the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, he has made it, at best, a third-tier priority.
The president's approach has reaped no fruit in the Middle East, either. Mr. Obama's initial outreach to Arab audiences via an appearance on al-Hurra television and his speech in Cairo won huge plaudits. But audiences in the Middle East still await the policy follow-up -- the Palestinians with impatience, the Israelis with concern. So far, U.S. arm-twisting on the issue of Jewish settlements in the West Bank has yet to begin.
Meanwhile, human rights advocates and democracy activists wonder how Mr. Obama's foreign policy will address their concerns. In pursuing shared interests with China, Iran, Cuba, Russia and other estranged states, the administration is muting values and ideals that were at the heart of American foreign policy for most of the past century.
Undersecretary of State Anne-Marie Slaughter said last week that the United States can address global challenges without at least initially raising issues of governance and legitimacy among foreign governments. Such values-neutral foreign policy makes the content of public diplomacy difficult to articulate.
What about institutional means of transmitting U.S. policy to foreign publics - as well as foreign leaders? The administration is still working on that. The Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review process has just begun. The Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees Voice of America and other U.S. international broadcasting services, remains in limbo.
The terms of all nine board members have expired, and the White House has made no nominations to fill the posts. Such inaction typifies the Obama administration's failure to engage substantively in public diplomacy -- despite all the president's appealing imagery, symbols and oratory.
Helle Dale is senior fellow for public diplomacy at the Heritage Foundation.

Man-Made Peninsula Tees
I'm wondering how many of you have ever tried building out a tee into a lake or pond. I ask because I recently have undertaken the task to add a lot of spice to Hole 11 on our local disc golf course in our community.
This area was an old gravel pit that flooded years ago after our nearby river came up and deposited countless gallons of water before receding...and our local DNR has stocked the resulting pond with fish ever since. Most of the NE and Northern edge of the pond was a muddy, littered, overgrown MESS. Nobody wanted it for anything! So naturally, I adopted that area for our disc golf course back in 2006.
Some photos of the work in-progress can be found here: http://southernmndga.ning.com/photo/...AAlbum%3A46657
About eight more feet out into the pond, then a 6' x 12' tee area will be constructed out of rock, gravel, and concrete (on the top) to complete the Pro/Tourney hole. About 200 feet over open water, with many branches guarding the North shore if you get your shot up more than 24-25' above the water...with a new 1,200 square foot expanded "landing zone" (now approximately 65' x 45' in total size) that has been constructed out of about 80 yards of gravel. Raising that area of the course by approximately two feet.
I'm just wondering how many of you have constructed anything like this on your courses you've designed. And if you have, how the hole was received...as well as any lessons you've learned about how to avoid any future maintenance headaches related to their strength and durability. I'm using about 50-55 yards of field stone of all sizes from area farmers to form most of the base...as well as gravel to fill in the gaps and help keep everything together. The area that's finished (one of those photos) is rock-solid to walk on...and you could easily have a few thousand pounds standing on it without any problems. That said, I want to get it right the first time!

Those are some very cool looking holes.
Wow, looks great man. The course looks really groomed, you guys put a lot of work in.
I think it's cool, with this caution:
Ever seen a player stumble on his follow-through? I watched someone on this hole stumble and roll, almost into the pond.
Like tees with a drop-off at the end, you have a safety issue. For playability, it's little different that the one I've linked to, or any other at the edge of a body of water. But I'll bet it'll feel pretty cool to throw.
It'll be my tiny "legacy" related to DG and our community...since I'll never be more than a middle-of-the-pack INT/Masters Advanced player on the course. Years from now, I want people in town and people just passing through to know that somebody loved this sport and this course immensely...and to have one more positive memory about their "Courses Played." :-)
Oh yeah...safety has to be the #1 priority. That's part of the reason why the hole is going to be so short (~225-230 feet). Players won't need a big run-up to take their shot. That, and players who aren't "good enough" to make that type of shot have an Am/Rec tee up on land (by the flower beds) to stick to. Most people told me that 4'x10' was the bare-minimum area that would be needed for a tee pad, so we're building the tee a minimum of 6'x12' too. With one foot on either side and two feet off the front...plus an extra four feet at the back of the tee that is the path that connects to it (forming the peninsula vs. an "island" tee). One foot of solid/level surface on either side...with another 1-2' of tapered rock that slopes into the Pond at about a 20-degree angle.
It really is a fairly easy, open, pitch-and-putt to a basket protected by lots of mature trees...and as long as you keep your tee shot under about 25' of vertical (above the water's surface), you're deuce-putting. Might be a highly obstructed deuce putt, but you'll at minimum get your par out of it. Where the challenge comes in is all of the mental gymnastics associated with throwing your prized mid-range/approach/putter over 200 feet of open water. Thinking about what happens if you grip-lock or get a little casual/careless in running the hole. But for most players who would have a rating even in the 850-875 range, as long as they can block out the "white noise" that is all that water, they'll get their par. And their disc back.

In Darkest WInter Night Tornadoes Can Strike
Tornadoes are deadly threats. When they are shrouded in darkness, nighttime winter tornadoes can be far more terrifying. Given the dangers, forecasters with NOAA's National Weather Service are increasing efforts to alert people of a potential threat in their area before they go to sleep. The NOAA Storm Prediction Center, in conjunction with local National Weather Service offices across the country, is now issuing new public severe weather outlooks when forecast conditions are favorable for strong and violent tornadoes to occur overnight. When issued the outlook will be available online.
Winter tornadoes are not as rare as you may think. Anyone with Lilapsophobia (the fear of tornadoes) certainly has something to be afraid even in winter and at night. For example, on February 5th and 6th, 2008, a series of massive tornadoes struck at least 5 Southern states (Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama) causing over 50 deaths and 150 injuries.
Tornadoes most often occur in the US midwest though they can anywhere in the world. Tornado Alley stretches from northern Texas to the Dakotas. In the US about a thousand tornadoes are recorded annually.
The NOAA Storm Prediction Center, in conjunction with local National Weather Service offices, is now issuing new public severe weather outlooks when forecast conditions are favorable for strong and violent tornadoes to occur overnight. When issued the outlook will be available online.
"Night time tornadoes pose a particular challenge since many people are asleep and not aware of watches and warnings," said Joseph Schaefer, director of NOAA's Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. "We added this extra outlook to highlight potential threats while people are still awake."
Following the February 2008 Super Tuesday Tornado outbreak in Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama, it was found that most people minimize the threat of tornadoes in winter because it is outside the traditional tornado season. After all snow blizzards happen in winter and not tornadoes. However, these tornadoes do occur in winter and at night though rarely.
"We know tornadoes can occur anywhere and at any time under the right conditions," Schaefer said. "Residents across the southern U.S. need to be extra vigilant in watching weather developments during this winter season."
The strongest winter tornado activity in the United States this 2009-2010 winter is expected to be over Florida and the Gulf Coast region due to the current El Niño, Schaefer further warned.
Chances of a tornado increase along the Gulf Coast may happen with an EL Nino pattern where warming of the sea surface occurs. As these waters warm, they force the development of a stronger than average jet stream emanating from the eastern Pacific and extending across the southern tier of the United States. The impact of this jet stream is most apparent from January through late March when it enhances severe thunderstorm and tornado potential over coastal states.
Nearly 80 percent of cool-season tornado deaths in Florida occur during El Niños. This type of deadly nighttime tornado activity occurred as recently as February 2007 in Florida when an outbreak caused 21 fatalities and 76 injuries, and February 1998, when tornadoes killed 42 people and injured 259. Other recent deadly cold season tornado outbreaks have affected parts of Georgia, Texas and Mississippi.
A NOAA Weather Radio at your bedside is the best way to know when a tornado is on the way. These units receive a special tone that activates the radio alarm before broadcasting emergency announcements, such as a tornado warning issued. This feature is especially crucial when severe storms or other events occur at night when most people are sound asleep.

So Many Choices... Which Curriculum is Right for Your
You've make the decision to homeschool your
children. That alone is a difficult decision for many families, but now you
need to choose the right homeschool curriculum for your family.
curriculum you choose is a tool to help you educate your
children. Model your homeschool around
your family values and lifestyle, not around the curriculum. Which one
should you choose? That depends on your needs. Here are a few key points
to consider:
Perhaps the most important consideration is this: Does this program
agree with your family's
core values and beliefs? Are you
locked into a specific worldview or will the program respect your role as a
parent to teach your own values to your children? Even among religion-based
curricula, there can be a wide range of worldviews. You may have difficulty
in finding one that is 100% in agreement with your family's values and
beliefs. Use the items you disagree with as teaching moments, to explain why
you believe or behave differently. These teachable moments can be more
instructive than the lesson itself!
elearningK12, we hope these tips will help you make an
informed decision about choosing the best homeschool curriculum for your

< Back
Under the moonlit window lay Pearl. Pearl had a very heavy backpack full of struggles and worries and now she just couldn't take it anymore!! Everyday, all the struggles which were in the bag would jumble together to form an even heavier load. Now, Pearl was thinking of a way to change that but the answer just wouldn't pop into her mind. She kept thinking about it until she slowly drifted off to sleep. "What's in that filthy lunchbox of yours?" sniggered Francesca, the school bully. "Nothing you would be interested in eating," answered Pearl, in a scared tone. Pearl tried to tug and pull her lunchbox out of Francesca's grasp but Francesca gave a huge tug and slowly ripped the lunchbox apart, forcing all of the contents to drop out onto the floor. Francesca quickly snatched the food off the floor and ran away sniggering. Pearl walked down the hall feeling lonely, thinking why it had happened to her again. As she walked into English class, a boy sitting in the front stuck out his leg, making Pearl stumble on the floor. Everyone started laughing haughtily at Pearl. By now she was really embarrassed. She wanted to belong here like everyone else did at Mulberry High School. She was determined to change her lifestyle starting from now! SPLAT!! A piece of strawberry gum flung into the air and went straight onto Pearl's white shirt. What should she do now? Should she stand up for herself? Nah, she would get bullied like never before if she went with that solution. BRRRING!! Pearl stood up and quickly left the classroom. When she got home her mum was waiting for her on the front doorstep, smiling. "I won two passes to Jamaica! We're going first thing tomorrow," Pearl's mum said in an excited tone. "Good," thought Pearl, "then I can have a break from all that bullying." When Pearl woke up the next morning tired and sleepy, she started to pull her clothes out from the dressing cupboard. She was going to Jamaica!! She would feel really good after this. "Flight 66 flying to Jamaica," said the desk speaker in the microphone. "That's us", Pearl squealed. When the long journey to Jamaica finally ended, they both got off the plane. They got in a fancy olden day Jamaican taxi and headed off for their hotel. Pearl plopped straight on the comfy hotel bed. "Can we go to the beach now?" Pearl asked as she sat up on the bed. "I don't see why not," replied Pearl's mum. As they sat on the white carpet of sand they watched the sun set behind the trees. "This is the best day of my life," thought Pearl. Then something quite unusual happened, it felt like a part of her head was slowly fading away. After a while Pearl realized it was her horrible memories and struggles that had faded away. That night, in bed Pearl realized that her life had just got a whole lot better, just by looking at one small positive and beautiful moment. Even better, she shared it with her loved ones.

Dril-Quip Inc. (DRQ - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2013 adjusted earnings of $1.05 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 88 cents. The quarterly earnings also increased from the year-ago profit level of 74 cents. The outperformance was mainly backed by growth in product and service revenues as demand for offshore equipment increased.
The company registered total revenue of $222.0 million in the quarter, up 26% from the year-ago level of $176.6 million. The reported figure also was above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $203.0 million.
Operating income expanded 36% to $56.2 million from the year-earlier level of $41.3 million. On the cost front, selling, general and administrative expenses rose 33.6% to $23.3 million from the year-earlier level of $17.4 million, while its engineering and product development costs decreased 1.5%.
As of Jun 30, 2013, the company had a backlog of $1.1 billion, compared with $697 million in the prior-year period.
For the third quarter of 2013, the offshore drilling equipment maker expects earnings between 95 cents and $1.05 per diluted share, excluding any unusual or special charges. Additionally, based on improving market conditions, Dril-Quip raised its full-year 2013 adjusted earnings per share expectation to $3.85–$4.05 from the $3.40–$3.60 guided previously.
Going forward, we expect large orders in 2013 from the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and Brazil, with rising demand and activity level in these regions. This gives it the financial flexibility to take advantage of new growth opportunities while returning capital to shareholders.
Dril-Quip registered an impressive gross margin increment both for its product and services divisions. Installation and maintenance work on subsea projects drove margins for the quarter. Capacity addition helped the company accomplish its targets for the year. Again, Dril-Quip boasts an impressive balance sheet with effectively no debt and ample free cash flow to fund capital spending.
Dril-Quip's results are heavily levered with continued strength in global deepwater drilling markets, especially in South America and the Asia-Pacific region. Given the operators' long-term outlook on these projects, deepwater drilling and other related services will remain relatively stable through the usual fluctuations in commodity prices.
Zacks Rank
Dril-Quip holds a Zacks Rank #1, which is equivalent to a Strong Buy rating for a period of 1 to 3 months. There are other stocks in the oil and gas sector – Legacy Reserves Lp , Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. , and Parker Drilling Co. (PKD - Free Report) – that hold the same Zacks Rank and are also expected to outperform.

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
(Courtesy INRAP, CopyrightĀDenis Gliksman/INRAP, Wikimedia Commons)
If you're driving down U.S. Route 19 along the west coast of Florida, archaeologist Jerald T. Milanich of the Florida Museum of Natural History says you should pull over at Crystal River Archaeological State Park and take in the area's seldom-visited mounds.
The site The park's centerpiece is a complex of eight earthen mounds arranged around a central plaza. Dating to A.D. 50 to 500, the mounds were constructed by the Deptford and Weeden Island cultures, people who relied on wild food sources and participated in long-distance trading with the better-known Hopewell cultures of the Midwest. Though only about one-third of the huge central temple mound still remains (the rest was used as fill for a mobile home park), the view of Crystal River from the top is one of Milanich's favorites.
Excavations In the early 20th century, Philadelphia-based archaeologist Clarence B. Moore dug here and found that the site was a major religious center. He excavated an extraordinary array of objects, including a copper panpipe and exotic shell ornaments, one of which was in the shape of a flower with petals. A cut panther jaw and the modified teeth of bears and other carnivores thought to be parts of masks were also discovered. Some of the artifacts are on display at the site's interpretive center.
Don't believe the internet An upright slab of limestone incised with a crude human-like figure was found at the site in 1964. This "stele," together with the temple mounds, plaza, and the site's exotic artifacts, have led a host of New Age web surfers to posit direct ties between Crystal River and the lowland Maya region or the Veracruz coast. Milanich and others reject that contention, saying there is no credible evidence for pre-Columbian contact between Florida and Mesoamerica. The eight-foot petroglyph is still in place at the site.

In Mexico, when the groaning board is filled up for family reunions and celebrations, there is usually a mountain of carnitas set up next to an equally high mountain of piping hot corn tortillas. Carnitas (car-KNEE-tahs) are simply little chunks of sizzling brown pork meat. They should be tender, juicy and rich in flavor.
At Arroyo, a huge, rambling restaurant with open kitchens on the southern outskirts of Mexico City, large parties gather around long tables to indulge in the eatery's signature carnitas. Platters of meat and tortillas are piled on the table, family style. Diners spear a chunk or two of meat, break it up into smaller pieces, then roll some into a corn tortilla with salsa, guacamole (at this point, forget the calories) or simply finely chopped cilantro and white onion.

One man calling 999 20 times in one day because he was lonely is just one of the many bogus calls Surrey Police receive.
The Surrey Police anti-social behaviour team has said they plan to crack down further on persistant nuisance callers to the emergency line.
Two Criminal Behaviour Orders have been issued to two men in Walton-on-Thames for wasting police and ambulance time, and officers have said they plan to issue more.
Jo Grimshaw from the Surrey Police anti-social behaviour team shared a story where one man called them repeatedly one day with bogus claims.
She said: "In some of the cases we have dealt with recently one man phoned the 999 service twenty times in one day.
"In other instances, he would either make up injuries or tell the call handler he had weapons in his house.
"Each time, a police or ambulance unit would need to be dispatched and on arrival they found there was no requirement for them to be there.
"The man was often verbally and physically abusive to staff and call handlers although on other occasions he would start the conversation saying he was lonely and wanted to talk to someone."
The CBOs issued to the men in Walton-on-Thames has been successful at stopping their calls, according to Surrey Police, so are looking to issue more to nuisance callers.
Officer Grimshaw said: ""999 calls that are inappropriate, persistent and where the caller is abusive and insulting to call handlers is a real problem for the emergency services and it's something we're not prepared to tolerate.
"Other calls we have received include falsely reporting a relative was missing, asking to speak to the Samaritans and testing the police to see how long it would take officers to attend his address.
"The impact of this type of behaviour is huge in terms of resources, the financial cost of deploying to a bogus incident, potential risks to members of the public and the impact on call takers and front line officers and staff who have to deal with abusive and sometimes physically aggressive individuals.
"It's often the case that the people who are abusing the 999 system need support from other agencies who are better placed to help them and we will always approach these individuals at an early stage with a multi-agency action plan to offer specialist support and help for their often complex needs.
"However, where there's a lack of engagement, poor response to warnings and continued anti-social behaviour on such a dramatic scale we won't hesitate to apply to the court for a Criminal Behaviour Order."
Sarah Durston, head of Contact at Surrey Police, said: "On the occasions where these men did not have an emergency they may have prevented someone else who was in genuine danger from getting through to us. This presents a real risk to our ability to respond to genuine emergency calls.
"The 999 number must only be used for situations where a crime is actually in progress or someone is in danger. Calling us on 101 does not change the police response you would get in a non-emergency situation and using the right number could literally save someone's life."

Do you enjoy walks? My sister loves them and when I say she loves them, I don't mean she just gets excited. I mean she freaks out. She barks and jumps and if I didn't know any better, I would think someone was offering her a steak and a nap.
Me, I enjoy a nice leisurely car ride where I can nap. But I've not always been a lazy girl. I've been in a hog pen. I know that might surprise some of y'all because I look and act like a diva, but it's true. I can throw down like a country girl.
It all started after I was rescued. I was working through some issues. It's a common thing and one way human momma and daddy helped me was to let me chase a hog. Momma didn't let me catch it because as she says, "Trixie can chase but there's no catch in that girl." Which is fine because those hogs are ugly, stinky and have a nasty attitude. Yes, I'm curling my nose and sticking my tongue out remembering the smell.
The protective vest and neck gear human momma strapped me in was pretty heavy and made of Kevlar to keep me safe, It didn't slow me down. When I saw that hog running, I took off. Something inside me said "move" and I was gone. It felt wonderful to run after something that was mean to me. Momma said I was chasing my demons, and maybe I was, because after that day, I was a lot calmer. I didn't need to prove anything to anyone.
Maybe that day was about proving something to myself, that I could run with the big dogs now that I had someone to show me how to protect myself.

OCEANPORT, N.J., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- War Emblem outclassed a field of five Sunday at Monmouth Park, posting a wire-to-wire win at the $1 million Haskell Invitational.
The winner of the first two legs of the Triple Crown faced little competition as he returned to the track for the first time since a disappointing loss in the Belmont Stakes.
Four horses were morning scratches, leaving just four to challenge War Emblem, which also had been expected to skip the 1 1/8-mile race following the death of owner Prince Ahmed Salman on July 21.
But Bob Baffert reconsidered and the 3-year-old presented his trainer with a belated wedding gift. The 2-5 favorite coasted to a four-length victory under Victor Espinoza, who also was aboard for all three Triple Crown races.
"I hoped the race would be that easy," said Baffert, who was married Saturday and will honeymoon at Saratoga. "The easier the race, the longer they last. He had been going so well at Del Mar, getting stronger and stronger, we knew he was ready.
"He was a little rank on the first turn, but once he starts striding out, I knew he would win unless something disastrous happened."
"I never really asked him to run," Espinoza said. "Everybody keeps asking me about the Belmont, but whatever happened there happened. He did it very easy today. This horse today, actually every day, he's all business. He just loves to win."
War Emblem won in 1:48.1, the 10th-fastest time in Haskell history, and paid $2.60, $2.20 and $2.10. Magic Weisner was second under Mike Luzzi and returned $2.80 and $2.10. Like A Hero showed for $2.10.
It was the second straight Haskell victory for Baffert, who won last year with Point Given, another horse in the Saudi stable of The Thorougbred Corporation.
War Emblem, however, became the first Kentucky Derby winner to capture this race and topped the $3.5 million mark in career earnings.
Among the scratches was Medaglia d'Oro, the early second choice who captured Sunday's Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga.
Puck finished fourth but pulled up with an injured right foreleg and was taken from the track by ambulance. Long shot Mr. Mellon was last under Pat Day, who could have broken Chris McCarron's all-time earnings record with a win.

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean with a current population of 11,224,321. Historically, its strategic location near the Gulf of Mexico and the Strait of Florida made it an important trading route. Its tropical climate and natural beauty make it a desired tourist destination. Unfortunately, the political climate in Cuba thwarts its potential to be an international city. But that may be changing. Leading architects and urbanists in the Capital city of Havana are positioning themselves to prepare for a possible change in political power and what this could mean for Cuba's future.
Havana holds enormous possibility as an economic engine for the rest of the country. In early 2010, international architects and planners were invited to join Cuban experts and community members to develop design and urban planning proposals for Old Havana. The intent behind this International Design Charette was to help articulate Havana's potential. The participants paid particular attention to developing the waterfront and East Havana, in hopes of preserving its Mediterranean image and taking full advantage of its natural features. The vision for the harbor included transforming the current industrial zone into a sport and recreation district. The importance of urban open space, housing and commerce was also brought to light. Specifically, the participants discussed incorporating green space to create value and retrofit the old downtown, which is currently in a state of disrepair.
Julio Cesar Perez, a Professor at the School of Architecture in Havana, Cuba shared the participants' plans at ULI's 2010 Fall Meeting. The master plans focused on waterfront revitalization, reinforcement of the existing polycentric structure, increasing public space, a new public transportation system, and upgrading infrastructure. Issues of equity and quality of life for residents of the harbor were treated lightly in the design proposals, lacking guidance on plans for accessibility. However, this topic was brought forth in the discussion with ULI members who wanted clarity on how residents who barely make $10 a day would benefit from the new vision of Havana.
Despite Havana's possibility, it faces many challenges including equity issues, aging infrastructure, a decaying urban core, and the effect a restrictive political climate has on development potential. The design charette brought these issues and much more to light, highlighting Havana's vibrant culture, natural features, and potential for tourism considering proximity to the United States. Even with Cuba's obstacles, Havana can be an economic engine that propels the rest of the country forward.

- Yes, indeed I know some use the same trick. Tell you it is a free ride and "we are so nice" that we will give u a website cost like $1995 on "us". And then u figure u can't go to the next step without buying the domain/hosting. The real ugly truth is, somewhere online u can bid for a wholesale of many website templates and script. All they do is either sell it on Flippa, ebay, or in this case, a "sweet" deal that they try to sell you. But then for those who aren't web developers, then buying a website on ebay still more economical then buying it on flippa or spending like thousands of dollars on web dev. Why? To create a website, in my past experience, I had hired web dev company that keep in touch with me as a rep, then there is the designer, and programmer. To convey your idea that the whole team understand sometimes is hard. Even I had experience in web site, me too, wasted a great fortune on web development. So depend on if you already have hosting and domain. I got my own hosting at hostgator, so i won't join such program. But if you are fresh, and haven't setup hosting and domain yet, an that you are not technical, it can work out with her deals or any other similar deals. Do your research, don't just hear her out. There are option out there similar to this. That's just my 2 cents.

Pakistani cities are typical of colonial towns. They originated and grew as a result of being military cantonments, transport hubs and trading posts. The combination of security, transit trade and employment attracted people and wealth to the cities. They became centres of art and culture. Lahore and Multan are examples of the earliest flourishing cities that survive to this day. Inside the walled city of Lahore one would still find beautiful legacies from the Mughal period.
During the British times, port cities like Karachi blossomed. They grew from a trading post to a port city, and modern facilities and infrastructure were built including water supply, roads and street lighting. Unlike Mumbai and Kolkata, Karachi could spread into the desert hinterland. The migrants who came to Karachi in the wake of independence and in the '60s and who come even now, found housing, employment and a host of services in the informal sector booming in the katchi abadis. The informal sector has been like a fairy godmother to Cinderellas.
The informal sector is the people's urban economy — outside of the government's jurisdiction and based on trust. When someone needed a house, they purchased a small plot from a land grabber who subdivided a plot on public land and provided water supply. People found employment in the informal sector mostly as daily wage earners. They informally bought construction material and hired semi-skilled labour to build their houses. They acquired electric connections, purchased fuel, got credit and made use of quacks and sent their children to informal schools.
Abdul Waheed came as a boy with his father from Swat. His father made a living by driving a taxi and provided him a madressah education. They, like many other migrants, lived on the edge of the city and built homes and facilities on self-help basis. Abdul Waheed, together with many youngsters like him, formed a community organisation and opened a school for the children of the neighbourhood. They motivated the people to modernise and adapt to urban living. He connected the migrant community to urban institutions and helped the people become an integral part of the urban economy. The informal sector provided opportunities to Abdul Waheed and many other social entrepreneurs to build and grow.
The fungibility and flexibility in the informal sector prevent urban areas from dying and help the urban economy sustain itself by tapping new resources in the region and internationally. Subcontracting is a form of urban informal employment that helped the crippling urban industries to transfer labour and other production costs like energy, land rent and security to the informal sector and therefore maximise profits. In doing so, it attracted direct foreign investment to many of its industries including textile, apparel, automobile and construction.
Today, large cities in Pakistan, like those elsewhere, are growing and transforming into urban regions. They are spreading and encompassing small towns and settlements around them. The recent spread of urban areas is due to construction of metalled roads, especially bypasses and ring roads. Transport connections help strengthen economic linkages and labour, trading, production and processing in the outlying areas become linked to the central business district of the large cities.
The growth of Lahore is a classic example. The Lahore region now effectively extends from Sheikhupura to Kasur and overlaps the emerging Gujranwala and Faisalabad urban regions. Through a transport and communication network, Lahore's central business district is connected to smaller markets in the region. The growth of urban regions is natural because markets tend to spill over and extend.
Land is a major determinant of urban spatial and economic growth. Pakistani cities, because of large public land holdings in the centre and feudal land holdings in the periphery, make spatial and economic growth inefficient. The land owners generally do not come together in a planned manner to develop land efficiently and for larger public benefit. Through force and withholding development, they increase the land prices and therefore housing, commercial and production spaces are created without adequate facilities and infrastructure provisions. Subsequently, it becomes impossible for the city to be governed and the economy to be regulated.
However, the informal sector does not grow by itself. Like a leech, it sucks the resources of the formal sector economy. It is a parasite that does not leave alone even the crippled economy of large cities like Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta. The informal sector, by nurturing various types of mafias and mobilising public sympathy towards informal means, corrupts the overall economy. Since the '80s, the informal sector has helped criminal elements who exploit the people, especially the poor and the new migrants. They profit from the absence and weakness of government services and regulating institutions.
Through corruption and force, we have seen them capture public offices and institutions and become the middleman, controlling land and service delivery. Gradually, they alienated and fragmented society and created inequalities and a sense of deprivation. By gaining the sympathy of the people and destabilising society through violence, they have been able to cripple the governance structure and capture public resources. They are ruthless and violently dispose of competition and opposition and use coercive methods to extort money and capture land and properties.
Today, Pakistani cities are fragmented and consist of ghettos. Incompatible land-use, traffic congestion, overburdened services and high-density housing are common. At the same time residents are faced with crime and delinquencies, pollution, under-employment and spiralling prices. The people who benefited from the informal sector today are its victims. Abdul Waheed was shot dead as he sat outside his school playing with his daughter. The school that he and his colleagues built over the last two decades stands threatened of closure and takeover by extremists and criminal elements.
People's informal economy now stands hijacked and the fairy godmother has turned into the proverbial stepmother, turning the dreams of princesses into cinders. Security, trade and employment that attract people are now conspicuous by their absence. The migrants cannot go back; they now fight for survival in cities that they built with their sweat and blood.

Chipper sits again as leg bruise worsens
Chipper sits again as leg bruise worsens
Jones had the bruised area "milked" in an effort to get some fluid out but it caused some stiffness.
"I'm probably worse off today than yesterday," said Jones, who did not start on Thursday against the Reds. "It's bad timing, too, [with] the first matchup with the Nationals coming up. This is a first for me."
The Braves return home to begin a three-game series against Washington at Turner Field on Friday. The Nationals, who were idle, led the Braves by a half-game in the National League East heading into play on Thursday.
Jones suffered the injury last Friday at Tampa Bay when a sharply hit ground ball by B.J. Upton struck him in the leg. He walked on Wednesday night in his first plate appearance since the injury and was replaced by pinch-runner Tim Hudson.
The injured area is still discolored and Jones has little mobility. Jones said he thought he would miss three or four games, but he is now uncertain as to when he can get back into the regular lineup.
The Braves are 19-5 when Jones is in the starting lineup but just 7-14 when he sits.
"The trainers tell me the blood has to go someplace and it went up the calf," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I think he'll be available to pinch-hit unless something from here until game time gets worse. Hopefully we'll get him into the lineup for one of those games at home this weekend."

The best thing about it, as I mentioned earlier, is the fact that it is only 99 cents for a 16 oz can at most locations. For this price it is very worthwhile, if you see it for the standard $2.50 then I wouldn't buy more than 1 of them. It is worth a try and has a somewhat unique flavor, but overall it probably won't become your energy drink of choice. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 mostly because of the price.

Officers Injured In Unusual Pepper Spray Training Exercise
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Four Metro Corrections officers were injured after taking part in an unusual training exercise recently.
Last week, the officers were sprayed in the face with pepper spray being tested by the Corrections Department, and had to be hospitalized, WLKY NewsChannel 32''s Abby Miller reported Tuesday.
The spray tore a hole in one officer''s esophagus, and opened holes in each of another officer''s lungs. The spray was touted to be more powerful than what the officers currently use, and the department confirmed that the hard way.
Metro Corrections Capt. Brett O''Loughlin said a typical spray is used to get would-be criminals to stop fighting with officers or resisting arrest, Miller reported.
"It makes your eyes slam shut," he said. "You can''t open your eyes. To me, it''s just completely debilitating. I didn''t react well to it at all."
But O''Loughlin said the effects were much worse when they tested the new spray at the Southfield Training Academy on June 28.
"Every time someone was sprayed, it was an immediate pain response," O''Loughlin said. "They were not willing to fight. They did not want to resist. All they wanted to do was get to the water."
Deputy Corrections Director Joe Payne said the company that makes the spray asked him to try the new product, and warned that it might be more potent than what the department currently uses, Miller reported.
"Almost all of our pepper-spray applications come on a one-on-one basis, the same as we used in training," he said. "So therefore, I don''t think it was a bad batch. I just think it was a little bit more powerful stuff, and we''ve decided we''re not going to use that."
Payne added that the company said the injuries had never happened before.

Ocean Services Expands Offshore Fleet
Ocean Services, a member of the Stabbert Maritime Group of Companies, has acquired the Ocean Carrier, an 279 ft X 59 ft deep-water construction vessel in order to expand their commercial fleet. This new asset marks Stabbert Maritime's strategic move toward deep-water construction including ROV support, saturation dive support, and core drilling operations.
The Ocean Carrier is currently under complete rebuild at Stabbert Maritime's satellite yard in Houston, Texas. The refit consists of installing a new Dynamic Positioning (DPII) Kongsberg control system, 200-ton crane, and high end interior package. The Ocean Carrier is set for completion on July 15th.
Primary characteristics of the Ocean Carrier include open deck space of 9,150 ft, total horsepower in excess of 12,000hp for running propulsion, dynamic positioning, deep-sea construction equipment, and accommodations for over 50. Special emphasis should be given to the hydraulic pedestal crane with a hook height of 394 ft and lifting capacity of 200t on single part line.

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle's fourth fallen star had his season end Thursday.
A team spokesman said three-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu went on the injured reserve list while he was having surgery to repair a torn left pectoral muscle in Alabama. Tatupu traveled there to consult with noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
The defensive captain was injured in the first half of Seattle's loss to Arizona on Oct. 18. He was hit high by teammate Deon Grant as both tried to make a tackle.
Wednesday, six-time All-Pro left tackle Walter Jones went on injured reserve. The 35-year-old said he will attempt to play in 2010, though no one knows if he will ever play again following microfracture knee surgery in December and then an arthroscopic procedure on the same left knee in August.
At least quarterback Matt Hasselbeck practiced after missing two consecutive workout days. The ribs he broke on Sept. 20 at San Francisco still aren't healed, but he and coach Jim Mora said the three-time Pro Bowl passer will start Sunday at Dallas.
Hasselbeck said he feels "tight and sticky" in his torso as his ribs enter the final phase of healing.
"So, those are three pretty big topics," Mora said.
The 26-year-old Tatupu did not miss a game in his first 3½ seasons in the NFL. He's played following concussions, a swollen knee, a strained groin, a broken thumb and, earlier this season, a strained hamstring that cost him a start.
Sunday's game will be his third absence in less than 12 months.
Tatupu will be replaced Sunday by David Hawthorne, an undrafted free agent making only his second career start.
Seattle expects to use the roster spot vacated by Tatupu to add cornerback Marcus Trufant off the physically-unable-to-perform list Saturday. Of course, that's if no one else goes down before then. Seattle has had 12 starters miss at least one game due to injury this season.
Trufant, a Pro Bowl selection in 2007, hasn't played since Dec. 28 because of a disk issue in his back. Mora said Trufant will likely play only in nickel defensive alignments against the Cowboys as he works his way back into game shape.
Jones is slowly working his way back to being able to merely walk and sit without pain in his knee.
"Oh man, it's tough," Jones said. "I've always been there, I've always been that guy. When it was time to play football, I've always been there."
He hinted he might not be there any more, if doctors decide a third knee surgery is needed.
Jones has two non-guaranteed years at $7.3 million each remaining on a seven-year contract. An eighth season at $1 million for 2012 is voidable.
Mora said the team will reevaluate Jones in the early months of 2010. Because his signing bonus has already been prorated over five years for salary cap purposes, Seattle could release Jones with negligible impact on its cap. And that's if the league has a cap next year, pending labor negotiations with the players' union.

No Crank/No Start
So I have a 95 Cherokee, all stock, 4.0L MPI engine that will start fine 99% of the time, but it seems with VERY short run times (say 5 mins or less) and 1st thing in the morning (cold start), it won't crank. The radio, horn, turn signals, lights all work so it's not a battery/alternator. I've checked and the ASD relay does click when the key is turned to the start position. I've also moved the relays around to ensure its not an ASD relay issue. Yesterday, I replaced the starter with a reman'd Duralast one, during a no start condition and it started right up and started the rest of the day. Today, again, a 2 min drive to the gas station and now it won't start. I've checked and I see no sign of a security system or anti theft device like on the ZJ's. I also checked power at the solenoid with the key in the run position and nothing (however I had my kids helping and not sure on this). Anyone have any clue what could cause a no crank when cold?
Classic symptoms of a failing Neutral Safety Switch there.
I'm just going to link you to similar recent discussion rather than type it all again. Engine won't crank when key is turned...
Excellent, thanks! I figured it was something electrical, but in my attempts to trouble shoot, I was leaning toward the ignition switch...one time it wouldn't start, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it started. I'll try the NSS jumper next time just to make sure.
You can also try cleaning the NSS harness plug with electrical contact cleaner spray, followed by some dielectric grease to protect it...
Also, if you want to fool the system into thinking it's in PARK, look at this site: http://www.cherokee-jeep.com/1-2swremov.htm
Wow! These things ARE expensive!! What is the success rate of cleaning them and how long would it last? I know, these are loaded questions and really cannot be answered, but this is my daily driver and I need it to start 100% of the time. I'd almost just want to replace it for peace of mind.
The biggest problem is getting the switch off of the shaft. The shaft (on mine at least) has ridges that the switch tends to grab on to, so you need to spread the collar that the lock nut screws onto out a bit while gently pulling on the switch.
Once it's off, cleaning it is easy. Here are a couple of other sites about cleaning it:
Good Luck! And don't forget to clean the harness connector.
The success rate if you can actually break the switch free from the shaft is good, if the NSS is your problem. You confirmed the NSS was bad with the continuity test described in the link above? There are also a few other telltale signs that your NSS is not working properly. If you can start in Neutral but not in Park, if your backup lights don't light up when you're in reverse.
If the switch is the issue, patience is the key to pulling it off - it can be a real PITA...One of the links above describes it well. I cleaned my switch up and soaked the shaft in PB Blaster after I broke the nut free. It seemed to help. The back housing is plastic so you don't want to force the switch off the shaft.
The sucess rate I would say is very high. Have done mine a few times. The first time was the NSS. The others was trouble shooting a simular issue, but turned out to be the ignition actuator pin switch.
Execellent! Thanks for all the tips. I have not performed the continuity test as it is VERY intermittent. The last time it wouldn't start (the day I posted this) I jumped the starter solenoid with a screwdriver and it fired right up and has ever since. I am not able to start it in park or neutral when it happens, or even ever so slightly moving the shifter. Backup lights SEEM to work, but I've not paid much attention to them, especially since it has been getting dark so late (until recently). I'll see if I can't duplicate the problem this weekend and test the NSS.
Pulled off the NSS yesterday and (mostly) followed the procedures mention, and it was as everyone said...gummed up and the contacts in the wiper arm were not springy. Cleaned it all up, sanded the contacts and got it back on and so far so good.
A couple issues I ran into though and might help someone in the future:
1) Using the big nut on the NSS as a pry point, it only came off so far then the screw driver/prybar would get no leverage. I ended up using my ratchets length wise (parallel to the pan) with the socket against the trans pan as a leverage point. Sorry, phone was dead so no pics.
2) DO NOT pry AT ALL on the plastic back housing!!! It is VERY brittle and WILL crack, flake, and/or break. I was however able to GENTELY pry on the screws on the back once it was out far enough and wiggle it back and forth. Also, I had to push it back on to the shaft a few times, then pry and wiggle to get it to come off.
3) The 6 screws are VERY tight!!! Take care and a GOOD screwdriver to get them off
4) The last issue is I don't think I got the NSS seated all the way on the transmission...there was about an 1/8" gap between the adjusting bolt and trans I could see and now it's kinda hard to use the shifter. I may have to pull it again and reseat it. Again, slide it on and off a few times to get it to seat.
Also, I had FOUR wires ties. Thanks again for all the help! If it doesn't fix the issue, I'll let you know.
Just an update. A month or so later, and PLENTY of very short runs and stops and all is well. I'm back to having a reliable XJ again! Thanks for the help!!!
