Bucs face tough decision on hurt Simms
By RICK STROUD
LAKE BUENA VISTA - Quarterback Chris Simms has a sore left throwing arm, has to take anti-inflammatories and other medication to get on the field and may be a candidate for injured reserve.
For the second straight day of training camp Monday, Simms had reduced throwing reps and was largely a bystander during the Bucs' 11-on-11 drills.
Simms, 26, still is experiencing complications from surgery to remove his spleen last September. He is suffering from symptoms similar to those of proprioception, a kinesthetic sixth sense that allows you to know the position of your arms and legs in relation to your body.
The lack of body awareness makes it particularly difficult when Simms has to turn his torso or throw on the run.
""I'd rather just not comment about the situation right now, honestly,'' Simms said without elaborating on his condition.
However, general manager Bruce Allen called the Times report Monday 'completely inaccurate.'
""Chris, as all quarterbacks who go through training camp, deals with different soreness,'' Allen said. ""We have some defensive linemen who have sore elbows. Sore shoulders from pounding. But nothing unusual. I saw the report, the headline and all that. It's inaccurate.''
The sore arm is unusual for Simms, who has been known to throw every day during the off-season without incident.
He took several weeks off in July at his family's home in New Jersey and remained optimistic after Friday's workout. But Simms began to struggle over the weekend and appears to have plummeted to fourth among quarterbacks behind Jeff Garcia, Luke McCown and Bruce Gradkowski.
The Bucs had hoped that Simms would recover in time to compete for a job in training camp. But his injury leaves the team with few options.
Simms signed a two-year, $7-million contract in December, a deal that included a $3-million signing bonus and $5-million in guarantees for 2007.
The Bucs cannot place him on the Physically Unable to Perform list because he passed a physical at the start of training camp, according to Allen.
"'His arm is not an issue,'' Allen said. ""His health is not an issue.
""Does Chris feel like he's at his A game right now? Probably not. He missed a lot of time last year with his injury. But he's been working very hard this off-season working very hard and he wants to back into rhythm, there's no doubt about that. And he will work to get there.''
However, Simms' struggles may make it difficult for the Bucs to trade him. He is in his fifth season with the Bucs. If Simms plays the preseason and suffers another injury, the Bucs could be on the hook for his $2-million base salary for 2007.
""It comes back to the same old thing,'' said quarterbacks coach Paul Hackett. ""You got to get healthy and you've got to be healthy when you do get the reps. In the (Organized Team Activities) and in the springtime, when you look back it, we were very pleased. He's p----d because he's not himself.''
Simms went 0-3 as a starter last season with one touchdown and seven interceptions before suffering a ruptured spleen in the Bucs' 26-24 loss to Carolina Sept. 24.
He didn't learn of the injury until he was examined after the game and underwent emergency surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa. Doctors told Simms he was bleeding internally and had to receive five pints of blood.
Simms spent the rest of the season on injured reserve and wasn't cleared to begin throwing a football until December. It was the same month that Simms decided to forgo free agency and sign a contract extension with the Bucs.
Simms said he developed some bad mechanics trying to protect his abdomen and struggled during the off-season workout program that ended in July. His consistency hasn't improved since the start of training camp.
""First of all, he has a very unusual injury,'' Allen said. ""You can't say there's something typical of having your spleen removed. But what he's been able to do, he's proved that physically he's fine. We just have to see if we can't get a little bit better each day.''
In March, the Bucs signed Garcia as a free agent and traded for Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer. But Plummer, 32, says he is retired and has been placed on the Did Not Report list by the Bucs.
If Simms' condition doesn't improve, the Bucs may be forced to add another quarterback sooner than later. They met with Dolphins free agent Daunte Culpepper two weeks ago. But Culpepper is serving as his own agent and is seeking a one-year contract.

Code of Conduct
To enable us to support effectively the philosophy of St. John's and its mission, we feel it is necessary that expected behaviors be defined and outlined in a Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct outlines behaviors we expect the students to practice in the classroom, on the playground and within our school environment.
Together, we can create a safer and kinder environment for personal and academic growth.
All Elementary School students agree to respect the following Code of Conduct:
- respect all members of the school community in a caring way
- listen and follow directions
- respect school property and that of others
- work together and encourage team spirit
- use appropriate language and volume
- play and work safely
- include everyone at play
- show good manners to everyone
- model the PYP attitudes each day
Consequences and sanctions
Our children are well-behaved and accept responsibility for their behavior and school work. Additionally, our Code of Conduct outlines acceptable and expected behaviors consistent with the school's and the PYP learning outcomes. However, when a Code of Conduct expectation is not respected, or when classroom assignments are incomplete or missing, students need to realize that there will be consequences for their behavior. All teachers are responsible for general discipline on the yard, in the lunchroom and around the school.
Disciplinary action may consist of one or more of the following consequences:
An adult, a teacher or the principal will talk to the student about the misbehavior.
The student's parents will be informed.
A conference will be held with the student's parents that may include teacher, principal, guidance counselor or other students.
Unacceptable behaviors may result in any of the following sanctions:
- discussion
- reflection
- time out
- written apologies
- behavior contract
- a work period
- parent notification
- suspension
Our parents and teachers work together as partners to teach the "whole child" on the importance of creating a pleasant and productive atmosphere in our school.

Cricket Australia and the players from all three forms of the game have finally signed off on a new deal that will vanquish the threat of a player's strike.
The new deal is performance based and sees that Cricket Australia will never pay more than 26 per cent of revenue throughout the duration of the agreement.
The big story: Cricket Australia was able to negotiate the number of contracted players from 25 down to 17. Performance will enable other players to move up, but it is a big win for the governing body regardless.
In order to receive a contract, a player must play a minimum of three Tests, six one-day internationals or 12 Twenty20 internationals.
The initial list of 17 includes just six batsmen.
Australia's top cricketer, Michael Clarke, replaces Shane Watson as the highest paid player after a fantastic season and is set to earn base level pay of $2 million (includes $300,000 captain's allowance and close to $1 million in match payments and bonuses).
David Warner will be one of the higher paid players due to his ability to play all three forms of the game will Ricky Ponting's dismissal from the one-day side ensures that he will have to take a sizeable pay cut.
The other batsmen include: the Hussey brothers, Ricky Ponting, Shane Watson, and Dave Warner.
Some of the guys who didn't make the cut include: Ed Cowan, George Bailey, Peter Forrest, Clink McKay and Dan Christian.
The Aussie are in the UK preparing for the upcoming Ashes series and will play in Belfast tomorrow. For what it's worth, the Irish upset the Aussie two years ago in an ODI.

Communications giant BT is to create 160 engineering jobs in Scotland as part of a drive to install new lines and fix faults more quickly.
They are among 1,600 new engineering jobs being created across the UK at Openreach, BT's local access network business.
Loading article content
The company said it expects a significant number of the engineering roles to be filled by ex-service men and women.
It also wants to recruit more female engineers and has launched a campaign encouraging women to enter the world of engineering.
BT said that in Scotland it is particularly keen to recruit in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Ayr, Newton Stewart, Ardrossan, Livingston, Perth, Inverness, Oban, Wick, Campbeltown, Portree and Dumfries.
Brendan Dick, BT Scotland director, said: "BT is helping to lead Scotland's economic recovery as one of the nation's largest investors. Not only are we building a superfast broadband network, which is giving a major boost to Scottish households and businesses, we are creating highly skilled local jobs offering exciting careers, such as those announced today.
"Working with our partners in the public sector we are determined to ensure that Scotland is in the best position possible to take full advantage of the superfast broadband revolution.
"The opportunities for businesses to grow and for households to benefit from enhanced online learning and entertainment are immense."
BT said that the new recruits will help to continue to improve customer service and bring technology to even more communities.
Openreach chief executive Joe Garner said: "Millions of customers depend on broadband and they rely on us to keep them connected, whatever the weather.
"Our engineers do an incredible job. They have been rolling out fibre broadband faster than anywhere else in the world, and at the same time completing hundreds of thousands of jobs each week to keep people connected throughout the UK - an amazing achievement."
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "Supporting business, creating jobs and providing a better future for hard-working people is a crucial part of our long-term economic plan.
"So I am delighted that BT is launching this major recruitment drive for 1,600 engineers across the UK, providing financial security for families and delivering a world class infrastructure for Britain."
Finance Secretary John Swinney MSP said: "The Scottish Government and its agencies work hard to support job creation in Scotland and we are delighted to hear that BT are looking to recruit 1,600 engineering jobs across the UK.
"The creation of these new highly skilled jobs will provide many opportunities for people in Scotland looking for a career in engineering.
"We welcome this announcement, particularly BT's drive to increase the number of female engineers, given the current gender imbalance in the number of women working in the Scottish IT and Telecoms sector.
"We will continue to work in partnership with BT to improve the availability of superfast broadband throughout Scotland through the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme in which a total of £410 million is being invested."

Dublin – Pulaski and Salem were locked into a scoreless tie after three innings, but a Cougar error in the fourth led to a Spartan run and Salem went on to shutout the Cougars 8-0.
The Cougars starting pitcher Logan Alley and the Spartans Zach Mineroldi matched pitch for pitch throughout the first three innings, but an error on the Cougars gave Salem their first run in the fourth. Alley went five innings giving up only one run, that being unearned, striking out three and giving up just three base hits.
Salem scored another run in the top of the sixth inning on a Austin Couling single. The seventh then saw the Spartans cross the plate six times on five hits and two huge Cougars errors. Mineroldi pitched a complete game throwing a five hitter and striking out seven.
Pulaski County had their chances. Brayden Morris led off the second inning with a double but couldn't advance. Then in the bottom of the fourth with one out Morris singled, as did Tyler Dotson. The next Cougar batter would hit into a double play to end that threat. Then again in the sixth they put two runners on base with one out, but once again the next batter hit into a double play to end the threat.
"Once again we made base running and mental mistakes," said a disappointed Cougar head coach Doug Dunavant. "Logan Alley had a great performance on the mound for us. I'm glad to see that for him and us. We will go back to work and improve."
The Cougars, now 5-8 overall and 0-5 in district play, will play Christiansburg at Cougar Field Friday at 5 p.m.

#172 5 Legs and SuperVision
What is it about Earth that leaves super predators with 4 legs I often ask myself? What if this guys was to have a fifth? Where would it go, why would it be there and what would be the advantages and disadvantages of having this extra limb? Now, what happens when you combine this with having the most advanced vision in the universe? I'm not going to dictate what makes this creature's vision "Super", but for few examples it could be anything from binocular, to night vision to some kind of spectrum that we can't see. The point is that it's up to you to make it obvious that this beast has 5 legs, and its eyes are its most notable feature. I'm sure there'll be a few questions so don't hesitate to ask.

On Friday, after receiving participants of a conference promoted by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, the Holy Father stressed that it is the duty of Catholic universities to promote a passion for the Truth in its educators so that family values will be strengthened.
The conference participants, who have been meeting to reflect upon the identity and mission of communications faculties in Catholic universities, were encouraged to have a commitment to the truth because, "the art of communication is by its nature linked to an ethical value, to the virtues that are the foundation of morality."
Catholic educators should "nourish and reward that passion for truth and goodness that is always strong in the young," the Pope said.
The best way to nourish young people is by advocating for "truth in information". This could take the form of a dialogue that involves bringing our peers to reflect upon events, with the aim of being educators of human beings and builders of a better world."
"It is also necessary to promote justice and solidarity, and at all times to respect the value and dignity of individuals, who have the right not to be injured in matters concerning their private life,"
Also of concern to the Holy Father were those who are economically and socially marginalized. The latest advances in communications technology should be made available to them, rather than "used to increase the distance that separates those people from the new networks being developed at the service of social life, information and learning."
"It would also be a serious matter," said the Holy Father, "if the globalizing tendency in the world of communications were to weaken or eliminate traditional customs and local cultures, especially those that have managed to strengthen family and social values, love, solidarity and respect for life."
These local efforts received the Pope's praise since, "despite the high financial cost and the vast human resources required," religious communities "have opened Catholic universities in developing countries."
Pope Benedict also recalled how, during the course of the congress, attention had turned to the matter of the identity of Catholic universities and schools. He echoed his address to the Catholic educators in the U.S. saying, "such identity is not simply a question of the number of Catholic students; it is above all a question of conviction, of truly believing that only in the mystery of the Word made flesh does the mystery of man become clear."
"As experts in the theory and practice of communication, and as educators who are training a new generation of communicators, yours is a privileged role, not only in your students' lives, but also in the mission of your local Churches and their pastors to make the Good News of God's love known to everyone," he concluded.

Lil Wayne Tattoos Meaning
People often wonder about Lil Wayne's tattoos meanings. Lil Wayne is a famous rap artist known as "Weezy Baby" and for his incredible lyrics. His body is covered in tattoos, from his face to his feet, which has caused much discussion about him. Here are some of his tattoos along with what they are thought to mean.
- Teardrops by his eyes. Lil Wayne has three teardrops just below his eyes and much speculation has been placed on these. Many think they stand for the number of people he has killed, but this is not true. Others speculate that the meaning of these tattoos is that they represent three of his close friends who died.
- "Fear God" and the letter "C." The words read "fear God" are tattooed on Lil Wayne's eye lids as well as the letter "C" between his eyebrows. Many think the letter "C" stands for his last name, Carter; while others think it stands for his belief in God, meaning Christian. There is a cross tattooed just above the letter "C" causing many to believe that he is a Christian.
- "I am music." These words are tattooed in red above his right eyebrow. Lil Wayne claims to have a love for music and owes his success to many people who have helped him get to where he is and therefore music is who he is.
- "Tune." Next to Lil Wayne's left ear is a tattoo that reads "Tune." This is said to be short for Lil Tunechileoncious; which is a nickname his grandma gave him when he was a child.

Whether your concert is a single event or the culmination of a longer-term creative project, certain principles apply. Most important is to learn what will be most meaningful to your host venue by being sensitive to its inner workings—its goals, its rules, and its timetables. Remind your artists that these settings are often unpredictable, so plans may be disrupted at the last minute by security alerts; population changes; or even a tragedy, such as illness or death, which may call for a shift in the tone of the concert or even a postponement or cancellation.
Use your basic research to think about who will attend the concert and how they will be told about the event. We have presented concerts for venue residents, staff, visitors, related community organizations, or a mixture of these groups. Think, too, about whether you will offer just one main concert or one concert plus smaller performances in various locations within the venue, such as wards within a hospital.
Set up a site visit or conference call so that artists can talk with venue staff and learn more about the needs, capacities and interests of the planned audience(s). This is particularly important if the artists are new to the constituency or will be entering a place they may find intimidating in some way—a locked behavioral health unit or a correctional facility, for example. These sessions between artists and staff should ideally include those staff members who work directly with the audience—for example, clinical staff in the case of hospitals—as well as management or public relations personnel.
Once the roster artists are familiar with the setting, you can begin exploring repertoire, interactivity with the audience, and participation by residents.
Longer-term creative projects, by definition, dictate that venue residents participate in the culminating concert, but single performances should also include some kind of resident participation as a way of bringing participants and musicians closer together. It could be something as simple as an organized sing-along or clapping, or a more highly developed performance by one or more residents with musical training or ability who join the roster artist for one piece. Here are a few guidelines we have found helpful in planning this kind of participation:
Camille Zamora shares one of the most meaningful moments from her past three years with Musical Connections.
Confer in advance with your venue contact on the setup of the concert space (and any smaller performance venues if you're planning smaller, satellite performances). Correctional facilities, for example, may have special rules about seating and groups; hospitals may require approval from clinical staff.
If possible, decorate or alter the space to create anticipation, and signal that this is a special occasion. Try lowering the lights in a gymnasium or rearranging the seating into a
circle in a recreation room.
A single Musical Connections performance can have significant impact; it's a moment that transforms the performer and the audience both.
You want the space to create a sense of
sharing and welcome. Think of set-up as another opportunity to connect
with participants, venue staff, and those audience members who arrive
early. This idea of inclusion at every stage of an event is what we call a "porous" concert or the "threshold to threshold" experience.
Encourage artists to think of these unusual performance spaces as challenging canvases for their creativity. How can they make the most of, say, a cafeteria or gymnasium? Will they walk around the audience while playing? Can they change locations during the concert?
Decide in advance whether someone will introduce and close out the concert and/or who it might be: It could be a venue staff member, a participant, or one of the musicians. Make sure you brief the designated emcee about who to thank and how to appropriately credit the musicians or group, the resident participants, and any administrative staff or government officials in attendance. Publicly thanking everyone is a critically important step in creating the sense of connectedness and sharing that these events aim to establish. It is also important to connect the musical activity to the venue; if a group is playing in a hospital, the roster artists should publicly acknowledge this setting with a "why we're here" comment that ties music to the mission of the venue.
Build in adequate time for venue/technical set-up before the concert (or rehearsal if resident participation is planned), time to move between different areas if smaller performances are planned, as well as time needed for audience to enter the space.
Have your main venue contact readily available or with you throughout the set up period to solve any logistical problems.
Download PDF: Production Information Sheet for Artists, Example 1
Download PDF: Production Information Sheet for Artists, Example 2
While your focus will most likely be on planning a single concert, think about how to bring music into as much of the venue as possible. In certain settings, you may want to consider giving short performances for residents or staff who cannot attend the main concert—for example, bedridden residents or staff who are on duty during the main concert. We have found that some of our most memorable performances have taken place during bedside musical interactions with a single patient.
Musical Connections brings feelings of catharsis and redemption to a maximum-security state correctional facility.
As rewarding as these experiences can be for residents, staff, and artists, they should not be allowed to derail or compromise the quality of the concert.

SANTA CRUZ — With rainfall measuring just two-thirds of normal for the season, the City Council on Tuesday will consider granting a Water Department request to issue a first-stage shortage alert, banning landscape irrigation during the day.
Beginning May 1, the alert, designed to reduce water use 5 percent, would allow watering before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. It also will require hotels and motels to offer guests the option of skipping daily laundering of towels and sheets, and restaurants will provide drinking water upon request only.
During the restrictions, which will last until late October, water customers may not wash down sidewalks, driveways or other paved surfaces unless for safety reasons. Any run-off water from lawns will be seen as a sign of over-watering.
"This is a pretty straight forward, reasonable approach," Mayor Don Lane said. "It recognizes we had a dry year and need to keep people cautious about water use. But because the reservoir is full, we don't want to go sounding an alarm beyond our real situation."
If approved, city officials will issue written warnings for initial violations of the restrictions, and fines for future offenses range from $100-$500. The city last instituted cutbacks in 2009, when a 15 percent reduction was put in place after several years of dry conditions.
The council will consider the restrictions during its 3 p.m. meeting.
In addition to the low rainfall, water officials say the cutback is needed because the city has reduced diversions from the San Lorenzo River and Laguna Creek as part of a pilot program with fisheries managers to bolster salmon habitat. The city believes the restrictions will help keep the Loch Lomond reservoir 80 percent full by the end of summer, a level that would put Santa Cruz in good shape if dry conditions persist next winter.
"There is always the chance that rainfall next year will be normal, and that in hindsight, imposing water use restrictions this year to preserve water in storage, however, modest, will have been unnecessary," Water Director Bill Kocher wrote in a report to the council. "But no one can tell what the weather will be in the future."
The city is pursuing a $115 million desalination plant to create new supply in drought years. Voters could be asked by a citizens group in November about whether they want to have a future say in the plant, a right the council already has granted through a new ordinance.
Also Tuesday, the council will:
- Weigh a special permit for the 19,300-square-foot space at 1200 Pacific Ave., the future home of Forever 21 women's apparel store. While the store plans to dedicate 12,000 square feet of sales space and 7,000 square feet of non-sales space, a permit is nonetheless required for any use downtown larger than 16,000 square feet. The location is the site of the former Borders, which closed after the bookseller fell into bankruptcy. Forever 21 is expected to open in August and hire about 45 people.
- Consider how to spend about $1.2 million in federal housing funds, including projects at the Homeless Services Center, Beach Flats Community Center and Teen Center, as well as code enforcement, senior housing and first-time homebuyer assistance.
- Review its Capital Improvement Program projects list that includes transportation, public works, water and parks projects at 7 p.m. Funding stems from developer and user fees, property taxes and grants.

Pisgah Elementary School will open in northern Montgomery County this week, welcoming first time students from kindergarten through fifth grade.
"We are starting out with about 670 students and our capacity is 840," explained principal Sallie Oden.
The area surrounding Pisgah Elementary has been growing with new homes and families moving into the community.
Clarksville Montgomery County Schools broke ground on the new school in June 2012.
"I knew the day would come and I knew we'd be ready," said Oden. "There were moments I began to worry. We're cutting it very close."
Pisgah is a stem school focusing on science, technology, engineering and math. The school also has a curriculum and resources to offer students creative studies.
A classroom provides each student with an Apple computer and the music room is filled with instruments.
"We have what I would call 'real instruments,'" said Oden. "We have drums from Africa, we have violins and guitars."
Pisgah Elementary was also built as a 'green school'.
"We are utilizing a lot of natural lighting," said Oden.
The building was also constructed with walls strong enough to sustain winds up to 200 miles-per-hour.
The district is putting an emphasis on recycling and natural products.
Oden said that includes how students wash their hands. "We are asking parents to not purchase hand sanitizers or wipes that include alcohol."
Pisgah Elementary and other Montgomery County schools open for a half-day on Wednesday August. The first full-day of classes is Friday.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Trayvon Martin's shooting death is Florida's top story of 2012. Newspaper editors picked Martin's death as the state's top story in a poll conducted by The Associated Press.
Florida's voting woes finished second. The shooting of Martin by an armed neighborhood watch captain in the central Florida city of Sanford raised questions about race, gun control and equal justice under the law.
A 44-day delay in the neighborhood watch captain's arrest led to nationwide protests, and everyone from President Obama to celebrities weighed in on the shooting. The former neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense.
His trial is set for the middle of next year.

NBC's "Dracula" is getting some fresh victims from other genre shows.
According to TVLine, Nonso Anozie and Katie McGrath have signed on for the ten episode first season of "Dracula." Anozie will play Dracula's famous minion, R.M. Renfield who in this incarnation is also a "fiercely loyal confidante of Dracula's alter ego, Alan Grayson." Renfield is also described as a "stabilizing force" who helps Dracula maintain his false identity in London while seeking revenge on those who wronged him.
McGrath will portray Lucy Westenra, a socialite and the best friend of Mina Murray before she inevitably falls prey to Dracula's advances.
Anozie is best known in America for his role as Xaro Xhoan Daxos in "Game of Thrones" Season 2, as well as his feature film roles in The Grey and Conan the Barbarian. McGrath previously played Morgana on the BBC series, "Merlin" in addition to roles in "The Tudors" and the TV miniseries "Labyrinth."
McGrath will reunite with "The Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who will play Dracula on this series. Jessica De Gouw was recently cast as Mina after a stint on "Arrow" as the Huntress.
There is currently no premiere date set for "Dracula," but the recent casting news suggests that the series will begin filming within a few months.

In "Code Corner" (HP158), some of the changes to the 2014 National Electrical Code were highlighted. Part two continues this discussion.
Many of the new sections in Article 690, Part IV, "Wiring Methods," were moved from other locations. There also are some new requirements. Previously, DC conductors had to be installed in raceways on arrays with a maximum voltage greater than 30 V that were installed in "readily accessible locations" (e.g., ground mounts). Now, Section 690.31(A) allows them to be guarded—"covered, shielded, fenced, enclosed, or otherwise protected…[which] removes the likelihood of approach or contact by persons or objects to a point of danger." This means that screening, some wire-management systems, or even lattice-wrapping the exposed sides and back of an array may be acceptable, rather than having to use a raceway or render the array inaccessible (such as with a fence, or by making it high enough to require a ladder). The authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) will have the final word on acceptability of individual strategies.
Section 690.31(B) now requires that DC PV circuits (both source and output) be separated by a partition from any other conductors when they share a raceway, junction box, or "similar fitting." A gutter box installed below an inverter and the inverter's external AC and DC disconnects must have a partition between AC and DC wiring; it will not be permissible for them to cross over each other.
Cable tray is a popular wire-management device for all sizes of systems, but the requirements in other sections of the Code about its use with smaller conductors, such as those used for PV source circuits, were confusing. Section 690.31(C)(2) now explicitly allows use of cable tray for PV-source and output circuits if they are listed PV wire, even when it's not marked for use with cable tray. The enhanced durability of PV wire led to this allowance, along with the realization that, especially on commercial rooftop systems where thermal movement and expansion and contraction can wreak havoc, conduit may not always be the best installation method for conductors. The conductors in cable tray must be supported at least every 12 inches, and secured at least every 4.5 feet.
The increased use of microinverters also has led to new Code wiring additions. Section 690.31(D) permits TC-ER and USE-2 cable to be installed on utility-interactive inverters in locations that are not readily accessible—for example, as the AC output conductors connected to microinverters behind PV modules. This section also specifies that there must be an equipment grounding conductor in the cable, and requires the cable be supported at least every 6 feet.
Continuing efforts to harmonize language with the International Fire Code, Section 690.31(G) extends requirements for conductors inside a building to those on a building. The label, "Warning: Photovoltaic Power Source," must be applied on conduit (exposed raceways) at least every 10 feet, and on cable trays and junction boxes on roofs or exterior walls. As with the rapid shutdown label requirement, this is more specific than 110.21 field applied hazard marking guidelines, specifying reflective, white capital letters, at least 3/8 inch tall, and on a red background.
Ungrounded PV systems are becoming increasingly common, and additional wiring methods are now allowed in Section 690.35(D). Both metallic and nonmetallic jacketed, multiconductor cables are now allowed for PV source-circuits, along with cables that are buried, provided they are identified as appropriate for direct-burial. New language in 690.47(B) provides clarity by allowing the AC equipment grounding system to be used as the ground-fault detection reference for ungrounded systems, along with the allowance in 690.47(C)(3) that the conductor providing the bond to the AC equipment grounding system be sized as an equipment-grounding conductor per Table 250.122.
Deleted in the 2011 edition of the NEC, Section 690.47(D), which requires additional auxiliary electrodes for array grounding, is back in 2014. This is a contentious issue, with experts questioning whether the additional grounding electrodes are being mandated as lightning protection; if so, whether this requirement should fall under NEC jurisdiction; and whether there are legitimate merits in requiring this for rooftop systems in addition to ground- and pole-mounted systems, or at all. Expect this section to be reexamined in future code cycles as well. See "Additional Electrodes for Array Grounding," in SolarPro magazine 1.1 for more information. Note that many experts agree that any electrode added to a building should be bonded to the existing grounding electrode system. This is not a requirement for auxiliary electrodes (see 250.54), but can lead to dangerous differences in potential in the event of a surge or lightning strike.

GBMD: The gardener's prayer
I'm still clearing out mum's house and deciding which possessions should go to her room at the nursing home and whether I'd like to keep anything for old times sake. I seem to remember this large mug came from my nan and grandad's house.
Dad was a founder member of Birmingham Organic Gardeners and was always laughing at the resultant three letter acronym. Going through the reams of old papers my mum stashed away I came across BOG's committee meeting minutes from 20 years ago. The October ones revealed his intention to invite me to give a talk in my previous capacity as Science and Education Officer at Earthwatch. He never did because he died the next month.
Look closely at the words and illustration and you'll see why I've chosen this photo for today's post. Thanks for the giggle dad (and grandad!).

Want to increase your calves' average daily gain by 61 percent? Offer them fresh, free-choice drinking water in a separate bucket from feed starting on the first day of life until they are moved to group pens, says Dave Beede, animal science professor at Michigan State University.
Research from the Ralston Purina Research Center has shown adding free-choice water raises starter intake by 46 percent, and that translated into an increase in average daily gain of 61 percent. This may be a challenge in cold environments, but it's worth the effort. Just make sure to separate water and feed buckets to avoid cross-contamination. Also practice timely and proper sanitation of all buckets.

Twelve weeks, 27 fighters, 12 match-ups, one night: Agency Wars is back. The third annual boxing tournament is set to rock Arcadian Court in Toronto on Dec. 5 to help raise money for Ronald McDonald House Toronto and NABS. A crowd of brave volunteers from Canada's marketing and media industry endured a rigorous training regimen and strict assessments from some of Canada's top boxers. That initial group was cut down to 27 "lucky" combatants, who were broken into two teams – Red and Blue – to take part in a grueling three-month program, readying their minds and bodies for the big night.
Leading up to the event, Marketing is profiling the men and women who've shed blood, sweat and tears to help out two charities. What makes someone step in the ring? Read on and find out.
Baylie Langelier – Red Team
Job Title: Assistant Account Manager
Company: PHD Canada
Nickname: The Bull
Why did you decide to take part?
First and foremost for the families of Ronald McDonald House as well as for NABS. I am blessed with health and happiness, and it means so much to me to be able to give back. Of course I would be lying if I said training with professionals didn't encourage the decision! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I absolutely had to be a part of as soon as I heard about it!
What's the toughest part of training been?
Halloween! The training is very intense as it is, and the diet is very strict. Halloween is one of my favourite holidays, with all of the candy and treats floating around the office, it was so hard to stick to the meal plan! All of the travelling is very difficult too, living in Hamilton, working in Toronto and training in Toronto and Mississauga makes for very long hours!
What do you like about the training?
I love the challenge. I have surprised myself time and time again throughout training, pushing myself further and harder than I could have ever expected. It feels so good to be a part of a team, and the coaches are so supportive and want to see us all succeed. It's not every day you meet a group of strangers and become a family over the course of a few weeks.
What message do you have for your opponent?
You mess with the bull, you get the horns!
Shahla Eghbal – Blue Team
Job Title: Digital Supervisor
Company: Carat
Nickname: Fury
Why did you decide to take part?
I first heard of Agency Wars last year from a friend who participated and it sparked my interest. The more I learned about it the more I wanted to be involved. I am being trained by professional athletes and coaches while raising money for RMH and NABS. I can't see myself not wanting to take part.
What's the toughest part of training been?
Not eating dessert before and after every meal. It's all about the food with me.
What do you like about the training?
Waking up every morning and feeling amazing because I know I've given it my all. It has given me discipline and I enjoy testing my limits. I'm pushing myself mentally and physically everyday and the results are showing. It definitely helps that Team Blue/Team Nat is a strong, solid team and we support each other every day, we are living like warriors to die as legends.
What message do you have for your opponent?
I haven't got anything to say to her, I'll let my fists do the talking.

I now wonder what the difference between the Acute Matte and the Acute Matte D is and the Beattie screens and whatever I might not even have discovered yet.

I had lower eyelid surgery with canthopexy two years ago and now my eyes are rounded, sagging, dry and irritated. Need expert opinions on whether I have lower lid retraction. Also, wondering if it is ectropion. I don't like the look of my lower eyelid margin rolling forward. Will a canthoplasty put the margin back against my eye or will it still look everted even with this procedure? I am not willing to go back to my original surgeon for advice. Any opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Will a canthoplasty put the margin back against my eye? (photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Proceed carefully is my advise.
You do not have lower eyelid ectropion as far as I can tell from these photographs. You do have post surgical contour and lid positional changes associated with the prior surgery. This includes a lid margin rotation from loss of skin and scaring just below the eyelashes from the lower eyelid surgery. You may also have a disinsertion of the lateral canthal tendon but this is not well documented in the photographs you have provided. You asked if a lateral canthoplasty will correct your issues. The answer is that alone, canthoplasty does not have the power to correct the visible issue present in these photographs. For this I rely on using a hard palate graft for the purpose of shaping the lower eyelid contour and facilitating a lid margin roll correction. A physical examination is needed to determine if skin is needed in the front of the eyelid. If that is the case, I generally will perform a vertical midface lift over a hand carved orbital rim implant. My rationale for this is detailed in my publications. If one were to simply perform a canthoplasty, there is a substantial risk that the lower eyelid shortening will simply pull the eyelid margin under the curvature of the globe making the eyelid position worse.
Will a canthoplasty put the margin back against my eye?
If there is an actual deficiency of tissue in the vertical dimension, then you will need something else. If you have laxity of the lower lid, then a canthoplasty can be utilized. An exam would be necessary to sort this out. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of facial and eyelid surgeries each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Forums → Popular Media → Right now I'm listening to...
Ok, in this thread you simply post whatever bands, songs, or playlists you've been listening to recently. I don't believe this is a duplicate thread but I'm sorry if it is. One rule though- don't be a music snob/ elitist. A bit of debate is fine, but don't bully anyone out of the thread. If we're all respectful and open-minded, this is a great way to share music and maybe try something new.
The past few days I've been listening to a few songs by Wintersleep: "Nothing is Anything (Without You)" , "Weighty Ghost", and "Laser Beams." Aside from those, I haven't had much of a craving for anything in particular in the past few days and I've been using shuffle on my iPod.

text: Testing In Czech Republic Paul Carruthers | August 18, 2008The following is from Repsol Honda… Repsol Honda RC212V rider Dani Pedrosa and HRC test rider Tadayuki Okada took to the track at Brno today, following the Repsol Honda team's difficult Czech GP weekend.Weather conditions today were perfect, allowing both riders to start testing at 10.30am, with Pedrosa riding his RC212V with spring valves while Okada rode the pneumatic-valve machine usually ridden by Nicky Hayden, who missed Brno due to a foot injury. Pedrosa stopped testing at 12.30pm, while Okada continued for the rest of the day. The Japanese rider, who gave the pneumatic-valve RC212V its race debut at June's Italian GP, tested updated engine parts and electronics. The Repsol Honda team will not test tomorrow, its next outing is at Misano for the San Marino GP on August 29/30/31. Dani Pedrosa, fastest lap: 1m 59.067s (11 laps)"We tried some different front tyres that Michelin brought here for this test, but we finished after some laps because we couldn't find any improvement. We tested the tyres with my current race bike, there was no point using the machine with the pneumatic-valve engine because the tyres weren't working well enough. We have rescheduled this test at Misano, on the Monday after the San Marino GP." Tadayuki Okada, fastest lap: 2m 00.735s (67 laps)"Today we tested some new steps in development concerning both engine and electronics. In Japan we are working on the development of both the spring-valve engine and the pneumatic-valve engine. Since my last appearance at the Italian MotoGP I can say that the bike with pneumatic-valve engine has improved a lot. I think that the bike has reached a satisfactory level of development, I hope that Dani will be able to test it soon." The following is from Yamaha… Fresh from his fifth victory of the season yesterday, which took him fifty points clear at the top of the standings, Valentino Rossi was back in action today on the first day of a two-day test at Brno. The Fiat Yamaha Team rider finished the day second fastest, behind Casey Stoner, with a best lap of 1'57.332 after 28 laps.The main focus of the day was on testing new Bridgestone tyres and the Fiat Yamaha crew worked through a range of both front and rear rubber, with an eye on finding new material for the final six races of the season. Rossi also tried some new electronics and mapping, which he will continue working on tomorrow.Rossi's Fiat Yamaha team-mate Jorge Lorenzo was also testing today and finished ninth fastest, with a best lap of 1'57.979. Davide Brivio Team manager "It was a good day of testing today, after a great day of racing yesterday! We have tested many different Bridgestone tyres, both front and rear, and we have collected a lot of information which will help us for the rest of the season. Then we worked on some new electronics and mapping but we need to continue with this tomorrow because we haven't finished the whole programme. Tomorrow we also have some general set-up work to do, to try some things that we weren't able to check at the weekend, due to losing one day to rain. We hope that we will have another good day tomorrow, finish all of our planned work and then we will leave here in good shape for the final push."Paul Carruthers | EditorPaul Carruthers took over as the editor of Cycle News in 1993 after serving as associate editor since starting his career at the publication in 1985. Carruthers has covered every facet of the sport in his near-28-year tenure at America's Daily Motorcycle News Source. Comments

Byatt, A(ntonia) S(usan) 1936–
An English novelist and literary critic, Byatt is best known for her novel Shadow of a Sun. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 13-16, rev. ed.)
To be the offspring of genius, even if not everyone considers it genius, must make growing-up even more difficult than it is for most of us. And to write a novel about the process, which involves creating someone whom your readers can believe in as a genius, is even more difficult. That is what Mrs. Byatt has tackled in her first novel, Shadow of a Sun….
It is easy to be somewhat cynical about the earnest sensitivity with which Mrs. Byatt explores … tortured relationships—she is a very feminine writer, careful to give us not only the visual detail (which she does very well) but also the emotional convolutions behind each utterance of her characters, which a tougher, more experienced writer would have pruned. She luxuriates in tentative similes and asides which hold up the dialogue…. But these are not disastrous faults, because Mrs. Byatt feels deeply for her characters and has a thoughtful, unhurried way of conveying precisely why they are worth caring about.
"Living with a Genius," in The Times Literary Supplement (© Times Newspapers Ltd. (London) 1964; reproduced from The Times Literary Supplement by permission), No. 3227, January 2, 1964, p. 21.
It is an unusual Yorkshire household that A. S. Byatt describes in ["Shadow of a Sun"] …, a countrified, genius-oriented universe in which parental permissiveness is more a matter of default than intention. The author goes to great lengths of prolixity to define her characters, but fails to breathe life into them. Between Anna and her problems there always intrudes an ornamental rhetoric, substituting exposition for the revelation that should come out of a clash of characters. (pp. 32-3)
Martin Levin, "Reader's Report," in The New York Times Book Review (© 1964 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), July 26, 1964, pp. 32-3.∗
The problems of Cassandra and Julia Corbett, the heroines of [The Game], come into the domain of moral philosophy. One solution, it seems, is to recreate life giving it the direction and shape it customarily lacks. Their story is encompassed between two fictions—a Brontëan game of medieval battles and romance which they devised as children and, later on, a novel in which Julia attempts to capture her sister's life.
The illusion of omnipotence which games like these offer is clearly full of danger…. One manipulates a fantasy world, the other the people round her: adults' versions of the child-hood game. However, playing games also has a positive aspect in ritualizing the fierce rivalry between the sisters. When they bring their feelings into the open the effects are disastrous….
Mrs. Byatt's protagonists have not enough substance to carry their philosophical load. Only Cassandra has the weight to at least command respect. Formidable, grotesque and extremely vulnerable, she stands out as the novel's most real character. The author unfortunately shares her heroines' tendency to manipulate; and The Game suffers from a suffocating design of symbols, patterns and complementary characters. Although it is a work of intelligence, full of illuminating comment and perceptive observation which carry it quite out of the ordinary, the total effect is of artifice…. [One] is frequently dazzled, less often convinced. The Game is more sophisticated than Mrs. Byatt's first novel, but lacks its vitality. Worlds are not made, they grow: here there is not enough air for growth.
"Child's Play," in The Times Literary Supplement (© Times Newspapers Ltd. (London) 1967; reproduced from The Times Literary Supplement by permission), No. 3386, January 19, 1967, p. 41.
["The Game"] is a book of uncommon subtlety….
What is so admirable about Mrs. Byatt's treatment of her characters is her blending of what they are with what they believe. The father's passive idealism, Simon's belief in original sin, Cassandra's view of the order and harmony of the universe, and Julia's ritualistic religion are truly part of the action. Yet the author doesn't sacrifice emotion to philosophy; her book is cumulatively exciting.
Martin Levin, "Reader's Report," in The New York Times Book Review (© 1968 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), March 17, 1968, p. 36.∗
[The Game,] a deep and able book, is the sensibility romance in its more traditional guise. It not only uses but is deeply sympathetic to those sensitive personal relations, those desires for romantic redemption and for the connection of the prose and the passion, which have been part of its modern stock. The domestic-familial is the root experience, the gropings of the female spirit in adolescence the essential source of character, the search for right faith with right feeling the main line of attack. The day-to-day is there, but must be transcended. The freedom the characters seek is the freedom of imagination, but an imagination still in touch with reality; the moral risks are too much passion or too much prose. (p. 73)
[The] book operates between the real and the abstract, and does so in the interests of creating a structure of meaning beyond that afforded directly by day-to-day reality. But it does so without a unifying surreal, a fully imagined transcendence—instead, all the characters make gestures toward it, as does the novelist herself, by creating a muted figurativeness that gives a supra-structure to the real. (pp. 73-4)
Cassandra and Julia work through the comparative claims of nature and art, reality and the imagination, life as lived and life as created, the world of pure objects and the world of vision, by taking separate but interconnecting paths….
Mrs. Byatt covers this...
(The entire section is 401 words.)
[The Virgin in the Garden] is a very good book. It is a large, complex, ambitious work, humming with energy and ideas. It is a highly intellectual operation. The characters do a great deal of thinking, and have extremely interesting thoughts which are developed at length. But this is no tract or treatise; it is a strong, confident, very long traditional novel, a remarkable achievement. At a time when some critics doom the novel to brevity, narrowness, dryness and ultimate degeneration into a 'text', Mrs Byatt's lively monster triumphantly exhibits the form as a playground for a powerful omnivorous intelligence….
This is, essentially, a historical novel, but set in a period which never seems...
(The entire section is 524 words.)
The action of this careful, complex novel [The Virgin in the Garden] takes place in Yorkshire in Coronation year. Its theme is growing up, coming of age, tasting knowledge. For the leading characters 1953 becomes the year that is to define their temperaments and shape the future….
Each of the six characters caught up in these dramas is pushed to extremity, forced by change, chance and exigency to come to terms with his or her intellectual or sexual being. This is an ambitious novel, heightened by calculated exaggeration. The stories, skilfully alternated, are linked by cunning echoes and symbolic commentary. The narration everywhere displays knowledge and intelligence.
(The entire section is 461 words.)
[The Virgin in the Garden] is a good example of proper literary ambition. It is, and practically declares itself to be, a novel in the European realist tradition, and it demands comparison with the masters in that tradition. The characters are full and rounded…. Mrs Byatt's talents are not confined to sketching members of a single social class.
The integration of the matter of the book—the reign of the first Elizabeth, Astraea, Shakespeare, the scholarship of Frances Yates and others, and Alexander's own elaborate play—is complete, and works on whatever level the book is read. There is a great deal of art in the book, and except for a little uncertainty about what becomes of Frederica,...
(The entire section is 222 words.)
["The Virgin in the Garden"] is grave, solid, ample as a Yorkshire tea, with deliberate hints of the Northern tradition of Mrs. Gaskell and Charlotte Brontë, even down to having a curate for one of its main characters….
Byatt's portrait of [a] hypersensitive, schizoid boy, his senses invaded by terrors and visions, holding annihilation at bay by repeating mathematical formulae, is beautifully empathetic. Self-defense through the intellect is practiced by other of her characters, and something of the sort bedevils the author's own style. She is at her best in bringing her characters alive, and they live on in the mind. But the book is overdecorated with tags and references from Elizabethan...
(The entire section is 175 words.)
[It] is clear why Byatt is unknown on these shores: She is very English—insularly so…. She writes out of an imperturbable tradition of English literature, a tradition that takes note of contemporary currents without drifting away on them. The men and women in [The Virgin in the Garden] bear some resemblance to present-day men and women; they also resemble the men and women of Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot and Thomas Hardy—they even, most unfashionably, resemble each other in a way that the sexes are no longer presumed to….
The Virgin in the Garden is a lushly-woven novel, a tapestry of conflicting sensibilities. Byatt writes with a somewhat remote but unerring skill; she is...
(The entire section is 289 words.)
Besides the intellectual artifice, at the heart of the boxes within boxes, puns, parodies, donnish and in-groupy references, which I imagine an American reader will feel impatient with, there is something important and accessible, relevant and potentially gripping in The Virgin in the Garden. Consider the virgin, consider the garden. The virgin is Frederica and Queen Elizabeth I and, beyond that, the idea of female intactness, Virgo-Astraea, the Greek sense of belonging to oneself (the original meaning of "virginity").
Alexander's play and especially Frederica's part in it focus on Elizabeth's (actual) declaration that she would not bleed, her choice of lifelong virginity, and the perhaps...

A man was seriously injured Wednesday afternoon when the motorcycle he was riding collided with a Chevrolet pickup truck near the Grand Avenue entrance to Palomar Medical Center, police said.
The accident occurred about 1:45 p.m. near the intersection of Grand Avenue and Grape Street.
Police officers found the motorcycle rider on the road with injuries to his head, torso and a leg, said Escondido police Lt. Michael J. Loarie. He was taken to the hospital's emergency room and his condition is considered life-threatening, Loarie said.
The driver of the pickup, who was the only person in the truck, was not injured.
Both the motorcycle rider and the truck driver were heading east on Grand. The pickup truck driver was making a U-turn about Grape Street to head west on Grand. Before the truck finished the turn, it was hit by the motorcycle, Loarie said.
The accident is still being investigated and no citations have been issued, he said.
Anyone who witnessed the accident and has not yet talked to police is asked to contact Officer Scott Walters at (760) 839-4939.

I've been a big fan of Hugh MacLeod's work for a long time. His art, paired with a sentence or two tend to express exactly how I feel, just more concisely than I am able to express. I always feel the need to elaborate on why I feel a certain way. But this time I won't, just know that these works express how I feel (or have felt, I don't think that my current reationship has killed me).

Prey on Weakness
In nature, there are no extra points for beating the biggest and the baddest. A lioness out on a hunt has no issue taking down an older injured wildebeest. A cheetah doesn't hang its head in shame because it chased down the slowest gazelle and ate it for dinner. So why do traders do it? Why do traders fight the biggest and baddest? Pride? Frustration? Stubbornness? It's tough to say.
I know many folks who day after day having been shorting the S&P 500 or the Russell 2000. "It's due for a pullback." "This move doesn't make any sense."

Exploring the beauty of Virginia's York River
by thirdeyemom
Along the shores of Eastern Virginia lies the York River, a 34-mile long estuary of brackish water that empties into the Chesapeake Bay. At the largest point near the entrance to the Bay, the York River stretches nearly 2.5 miles across bringing in Navy warships, sailboats and a large variety of marine life that thrive in the unique coast waters. My sister and her family live on the York River and I always love visiting them in the summer time. […]
