Cyrus is stumbling around Company with dishes. Marina tells him that he's the worst busboy in history. Natasha knocks on the window and he runs outside. "Busy day at burger land?" she asks. She wants her diamonds and if she doesn't get them, he'll be the next person to be fished out of the river. She offers to help relieve his stress. "I try not to get involved with women who threaten to kill me," he says. Frank walks by and goes inside. He asks his daughter how Cyrus is working out. He gets a call to say that Bill has been arrested. Cyrus comes back in and Marina shakes her head as he cleans the floor.
Busy Day At Burger Land?
Remy helps his father, Cyrus gets another job and James confesses.
Remy goes down to the water with his bag of diamonds. He wonders what he should do. Christina comes down and tells him that Reva was just arrested. She feels bad since she identified her voice, but it was the right thing to do. "But what if..." he objects. She says that honesty is the only thing that's right. The topic turns to what he will do with the money he got for selling the diamond. He tells her the money is already gone; he paid down his father's mortgage. "You're amazing," she says, kissing him.
Frank goes to see Cyrus in the kitchen. He tells him how busy the department is these days and how Mallet's workload is driving Marina nuts. Cyrus rushes back out to the dining room to fill the sugar shakers. Christina comes in and Remy soon follows. Marina complains about how hectic her life is and Cyrus tries to get information about the latest case. She's not helpful. As they head into the kitchen, Frank sits down with Remy and asks him if he's found any leads on the jewels. He gets a call from his dad and hurries off.
Remy meets his father in the park. Clayton tells him that he's saved his house. He doesn't know how he can ever pay him back for the way that he's protected the family. "I am very proud of you son," he tells him.
Remy returns to Company and Frank hands him the latest information he got about the stolen diamonds. Marina suggests that they ask Cyrus for help. Frank likes that idea and offers to put Cyrus on retainer. Remy objects but Frank is sure that this is a good idea and tells Remy to shake hands with his new partner. Cyrus smiles.
At Towers, everyone is shocked when Bill is suddenly arrested. The authorities explain that Bill set up a scam. As Bill struggles with them, Phillip stops them and declares that the man they want is his son, James. Beth begs him not to do this but Phillip won't back down. James throws his hands up and confesses. They cuff James and lead him off with Bill. Beth is left hyperventilating while Vanessa asks Matt to go and take care of Maureen. Daisy admits to Ashlee that she knew about all of this. Beth confronts Phillip for breaking his word, saying that turning himself in would have been better than this. Lizzie wants some answers but she won't get them from her father. Ashlee offers to drive her to the police station. Everyone is left gabbing. Beth runs off. Phillip tries to explain things to Billy and Vanessa. After they walk away, Daisy confronts Phillip and tells him that his son will never forgive him. As Phillip steps into the elevator, Alan looks in at him. "It's not easy having a son... is it, Son?" he asks.
At the station, James apologizes to Bill. He tells him to take a vacation next time he wants to get away from his family. The cops come to talk to James. Lizzie arrives and tells him to wait for a lawyer. "Why? I did it," he says.
Phillip is on the roof screaming. "Sucks doesn't it? Fatherhood?" Buzz tells him. He gets philosophical. Phillip claims he only wants his son to be okay. Buzz is sure he wants his son to be a better man than he is, but he can't make him one. Sons are what they are and it's their job as fathers to be able to see what their dreams are. "But what do I know? I'm just an old man," he says.
Back at the station, Bill tells Lizzie that James must be a chip off the old block. The cop comes in and says that James confessed to everything. Lizzie goes down to the cells to see her brother. She'd like to say something to put him in his place, but she can't think of anything. "That's because you don't know anything about me," he says. She lays into him but he doesn't see why he should care about hurting her, although that wasn't his intention. He just wanted out of the family. She understands, but she doesn't forgive him.
Beth argues with the authorities until Daisy arrives. Beth tells her to go home. When Bill comes out, Beth begins apologizing. Alan calls her and offers his support. Getting off the phone, Alex accuses him of exploiting this situation. Alan doesn't see why he shouldn't be reaping the benefits of this disaster.
Phillip is in the graveyard looking at his tombstone. He's starting to think his family may have been better off when they thought he was dead. Lizzie's happy, but everything else is broken and they'd all be better off without him.
Beth goes down to the cells to see her son. He assumes that his father is out celebrating. When she goes outside, she runs into Phillip and begins ranting at him for putting their son in jail. Phillip wouldn't let his son turn into Alan.
At Towers, the families are arguing about everything. Billy is too tired to fight. They wonder if their kids will learn from their mistakes. They toast to the next generation.
Next on Guiding Light:
Shayne and Josh wonder if Reva could be guilty.
Cyrus hears about Remy's diamond.
Reva's house is attacked.

Manchester United has the largest fan base of any professional team in the world. And two of its stars, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, sat down in Chicago for an interview Tuesday.
The team is here, training Wednesday at the Chicago Fire's Toyota Park for its upcoming North American tour, which includes a series of "friendly" games against Major League Soccer teams in other cities and one versus the MLS All-Stars on July 28 in Houston.
To sit and talk soccer with two of the greatest veteran players of the game as their amazing careers near an end was a rare treat for me. Don't worry, I told my editors, I'm not going to make a habit of it, but it's a heck of a lot nicer than kicking a politician in the behind, no matter how deserving the politician.
Giggs and Scholes talked of the growth of American soccer, crazed soccer dads watching their kids play in England and America, and England's disappointing performance in the recent World Cup.
"We had great individual players, but I think at the World Cup that they didn't play as a team," Giggs, 36, said of England's early exit from the world tournament.
"The team that played together was Spain, more than anyone else, and that's why they won," he said. "But you see that so many times. You have individuals and you try to move the positions, and it just doesn't quite work.
"It just doesn't come off. And that was the case with England. It just didn't happen. There were big expectations. Players didn't perform individually and as a team. It wasn't just one thing. It was a lot of things that went wrong, similar to a lot of teams this year, like France and Italy."
Just before the World Cup began, Scholes was offered a spot on the England team. But he declined, opting instead to coach American kids for a few days at a soccer camp in Florida.

Russia wins men's bronze, beats Argentina 81-77
By TOM WITHERS,
Updated August 12, 2012
LONDON (AP) The Russians celebrated wildly. The Argentines went wild.
The bronze-medal game ended with an ugly confrontation.
Alexei Shved scored 25 points - 13 in the fourth quarter - and Russia won its first Olympic medal in men's basketball with an 81-77 win on Sunday over Argentina, whose players angrily questioned the referees after the final horn following a wild scramble in the closing seconds.
Andrei Kirilenko added 20 points, Vitaliy Fridzon 19 for Russia, which finished ninth at the Beijing Games four years ago.
"Feels like gold for us," Kirilenko said.
Manu Ginobili scored 21 and Andres Nocioni 16 for Argentina, which was looking to add another bronze to its Olympic collection after winning one in China and gold eight years ago in Athens. But this tournament ended with Argentina's players without a medal and looking for an explanation.
"This is one of the most painful defeats or my life," Ginobili said.
Fridzon's layup with 5.2 seconds left sealed it for Russia, which came away with the ball after it changed hands several times near midcourt.
When the game ended, several Argentine players surrounded referees Bill Kennedy, Jose Carrion and Juan Arteaga in protest and guard Pablo Prigioni kicked an electronic clock off the scorer's table in disgust. A water bottle was thrown on the court that appeared to come from the stands.
Argentina had taken the lead after rallying from an 11-point deficit in the second half.
Ginobili's layup gave Argentina a 77-76 lead with 43 seconds left, but then Shved countered with a 3-pointer to put Russia back in front.
Nocioni missed a jumper from the corner, but it appeared Argentina might get another chance when Prigioni came up with the ball close to the sideline at halfcourt. But it was tipped away with bodies flying all over the floor and wound up bouncing to Shved, who alertly passed it up the floor for Fridzon, who drove in for his uncontested layup.
As the final seconds ticked off, Russia's players piled on each other near one foul line while Argentina's swarmed Kennedy and the other officials, screaming and demanding answers.
Ginobili, Nocioni and Scola all complained to no avail and Prigioni, who signed with the New York Knicks this summer, sent the substitution clock flying to the floor with his kick, an ugly display of sportsmanship by one of the world's best teams.
"I don't want to talk about the last play because we didn't lose it in the last play," Argentina captain Luis Scola said. "It's not the ref's fault, it was our fault. I was mad because I thought it was a foul. Doesn't matter, we didn't lose the game right there."
For the Russians, the bronze was the topping on a a strong tournament.
They came to the London Games as unlikely medal contenders, but won their group in preliminary play and appeared on a collision course with the Americans before stumbling in the semis.
Following the game, three bottles of Dom Perignon were carried into Russia's locker room.
This was a victory to toast.
"It's very important for Russia," Shved said. "We won bronze at Europeans last year. We won bronze at Olympics. Maybe we'll get a different medal next time - maybe gold or silver."
This was probably the final game for Argentina's "Golden Generation," a group that became national heroes and gave their country international basketball relevance by beating the U.S. in the 2002 world championships and then again at the Athens Games in 2004, when they won gold.
Ginobili, 35, has already said this may have been his final tournament for Argentina, and Scola, Nocioni, Prigioni and Leonardo Gutierrez - all holdovers from the '04 team - are all in their 30s.
It ended short of a medal, and following the tough loss, the San Antonio Spurs star reflected on Argentina's stay among the game's elite.
"It is an impressive run, even though we lost," he said. "A third podium was what we were aiming for and it's very sad and disappointing to lose like this because it was in our hands and we let it slip. When we lost for the world championship it really hurt. It's been 10 years since, and the bitterness of that moment was gone and now I feel worst.
"But we need to keep our heads high. I'm still very proud of my teammates."

Obama Administration Doesn't Walk the Ed Reform Walk
Oh, they'll chew your ears off about how boldly they support and are catalyzing real education reform, and how they won't accept the failed status quo. Yes sir, they'll boast nonstop about what a gigantic success their Race to the Top initiative has been, despite having no real evidence to back that up. Without question, the Obama administration will talk the talk about transformative education reform. But walk the walk? That's another story.
Let's put this in perspective. Almost the entire basis for the Obama administration's claim to school reform supremacy is Race to the Top. And what does RTTT do? It furnishes $4.35 billion to entice states into submitting sort of bold‐sounding plans for education reform while requiring them to do very little when it comes to implementing those plans. At the very least, we have little reason to believe the administration can or will hold states to their promised reforms. And by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's own admission, the only winners to date won by getting lots of union and school district buy‐in for their proposed reforms. So, as far as we can tell, Race to the Top itself is way more hot air than fiery reform.
But that isn't even close to the clearest evidence that the Obama administration does little more than flap its gums about real reform while substantively supporting something very different. The clearest sign is that the so‐called "stimulus" from which RTTT funding came furnished about $100 billion for education, and the vast majority of that was intended to keep as many people employed in our incredibly inefficient, labor‐dominated public schooling monopoly as possible. In other words, the "stimulus" provided a gargantuan payoff for the very people who are supposed to be the subjects of tough reforms, while furnishing a relatively tiny sum for the program supposedly intended to inspire such reforms. (Of course, the Obama administration also helped kill the proven‐effective D.C. school choice program, but we'll save that for another time.)
And the hits just keep on coming. With school districts nearing the end of their stimulus windfall, they once again face having to cut some of their copious fat. But Sen. Tom Harkin (D‑IA) has put forth the $23 billion, "Keep Our Educators Working Act" to keep that from happening, and yesterday the administration — suprise, surprise — threw its support behind the bill.
Even the Washington Post has come out against the legislation, which if nothing else would add another $23 billion to our absolutely collosal federal deficit. Moreover, to borrow a favorite phrase of the President's, let me be clear: an honest accounting of even the biggest potential staffing cuts shows that those losses would constitute a relatively small cut from a system that has for decades added staff at a furious pace without producing any better outcomes.
Unfortunately, neither the shamefully irresponsible mortgaging of our future, nor the clear need to eliminate costly public‐schooling jobs, seems to matter to this administration. As long as people keep letting them get away with nothing but reform‑y talk, it appears they'll willingly bankrupt the country to keep the status quo fat and happy.

Language: Linguistics · Semiotics · Speech
In morpheme-based morphology, a morpheme is the smallest lingual unit that carries a semantic interpretation.
Morphemes are, generally, a distinctive collocation of phonemes (as the free form pin or the bound form -s of pins) having no smaller meaningful members.
English example: The word "unbreakable" has three morphemes "un-", (negatory) a bound morpheme, "-break-" a free morpheme, and "-able". "un-" is also a prefix, "-able" is a suffix. Both are affixes.
Types of morphemes Edit
- Free morphemes like town, dog can appear with other lexemes (as in town hall or dog house) or they can stand alone, or "free". Allomorphs are variants of a morpheme, e.g. the plural marker in English is sometimes realized as /-z/, /-s/ or /- ɪz/.
- Bound morphemes like "un-" appear only together with other morphemes to form a lexeme. Bound morphemes in general tend to be prefixes and suffixes. Unproductive, non-affix morphemes that exist only in bound form are known as "cranberry" morphemes, from the "cran" in that very word.
- Inflectional morphemes modify a word's tense, number, aspect, and so on. (as in the dog morpheme if written with the plural marker morpheme s becomes dogs).
- Derivational morphemes can be added to a word to create (derive) another word: the addition of "-ness" to "happy," for example, to give "happiness."

We have left Beijing and we are now in the fantastic city of Shanghai. On first impressions its seems far more relaxed and western in appearance compared to Beijing. Apart from a dinner hosted in our honour last night and a stage call, I haven't seen too much.
The last week in Beijing was great. We opened with The Sleeping Beauty and a Triple Bill. Both seemed to go down very well, and the audiences were very appreciative. On a tourist note I went to The Great Wall of China which is absolutely incredible. It goes on for as far as the eye can see it truly is a magical place where in which you feel at great peace.
We also visited the Lama Temple which is for Tibetan Buddhism; it is the most wonderful temple I have seen in China so far. It is very run down and has not been painted yet still a magnificent active place of worship. It was great to get lost in such a spiritual place which has so much history. In that evening after the last show, a few of us were invited to a dinner party at the last residence of the Dalai Lama which finished the day off so perfectly, and our stay in Beijing!
After a very turbulent flight we eventually got to Shanghai were we are only here for 2 proper full days, so as in true Royal Ballet style I will fill in as much as I can!...

Stumbling upon a nearly forgotten anthology of fiction by and about women, Bitches and Sad Ladies, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan found herself transfixed by the late poet Anne Sexton's tale, "The Letting Down of The Hair," the story of "a modern Rapunzel who has locked herself in a stone room":
Her hair receives fan letters, pilgrims, and gawkers. The hair is filmed for television. Although the setting is modern, Sexton plays with fairy tale logic. Honey is preferred to shampoo. A woman is only a vessel for her hair. A wish causes a death.
Sexton has the poet's skill of condensing meaning. The speaker informs us: "I'd had a normal life, men and lipstick, daiquiris and sunburns." And we immediately know the sort of woman she has been—without names of men, without dates, or history—we know. Ruth, the speaker's shorthaired confidant, becomes emotionally vivid in two lines: "After years of therapy, [Ruth] gave it all up for Zen. She watched her mind as a cat watches over a fish tank." The sentences stay thrumming in the reader's mind.
The prose is as wild and strange as the woman it describes: "I have never cut my hair. That's something you ought to know right off. It fills the room the way ten giraffes would, twisting and twisting, their long and innocent necks." Before Ruth dies, she writes to the speaker telling her that Christ has revealed the hair is a parable for the life of the poet. The speaker doesn't know what to do about this, doesn't even fully understand it. And after Ruth dies, she has no one to ask.

If obesity levels continue to rise at their current rate, half of all adults in the United States will be obese—yes, obese, not overweight—by 2030, according to a report recently published in The Lancet. That news is shocking to me, although I don't know why, considering one-third of American adults are overweight today—a number that should be shocking as well, except I think I have gotten used to it.
The report says that obesity is replacing smoking as the top cause of preventable chronic disease, and this growth in obesity-related conditions will add $66 billion per year to health care expenses in the United States.
What are we as a fitness industry doing wrong that we are not having any sort of effect on this number? Clubs still attract just 14 percent to 16 percent of the population as members. I am at a point where I feel society has become rather lazy, preferring to sit at home on their computers or watching TV than doing any sort of physical activity, let alone going to the gym where they might break a sweat. Working out is not fun to most people, especially when they have so many more fun and less taxing alternatives to spend the little free time that they do have.
Recently, I read about some applications that offer rewards to people for working out and engaging in physical activity. That is a great concept upon first thought, but I do not think it is going to work. Again, if getting a reward requires too much work, people will give up on it, especially if the rewards are not great enough—or worse yet, they will lie to get the reward.
So, club owners, what are you doing to make physical activity more fun? And I'm not talking marathons or boot camps for people who already come to your clubs five times per week and want more of a challenge. I'm asking you what you are doing for the man or woman who never participated in sports as a child or teenager, the person who was always picked last for the kickball team, the person who was teased because of their weight and lack of athletic ability, the person who then grew into an even heavier adult because they just never felt that the gym or sports was a place where they fit in, the person who is afraid that if they step foot in your club they will again be the subject of ridicule. What are you doing to go out into the community to find these people and help them where they are now, so that at some point you can welcome them into your club, show them that they do belong there and help them become fit?
If you do not think about this issue as a matter of helping others, then think about it as a business opportunity and challenge to take on. This obese population will be close to the majority in the near future. The club operators who figure out how to capture this demographic are the operators who will grow and become the industry leaders in the future.

Follow results throughout the day @VASRAResults
Race Course
The race course is on the Occoquan Reservoir.
The area where the Regatta Headquarters is located includes the boat launch area, the boat trailers, the W-L team tent (where rowers hang out), and a concession area. The race finish line and the grandstand/cheering section are located further up the river. The two areas are connected by a trail that goes through the woods – about ½ mile. The trail is a dirt path, not paved, but is a lovely walk along the river and the forest. Make sure to wear good walking shoes – no sandals or flip flops.
There is also a food concession stand at the grandstand, along with bathrooms. Unfortunately, no dogs permitted in the park. For more info, go to http://www.nvrpa.org/park/sandy_run
Directions and Parking
Follow parking updates on the day of the regatta on Twitter @VASRAParking
Click on "View larger map" to get directions.
Take I-395 South to I-95. Continue south about 15 miles. Just after crossing the Occoquan River take Exit 160 (Route 123 North – Occoquan/Lakeridge) and proceed on Rt 123 approximately 3 miles to Hampton Road. Turn left at the light onto Hampton Road and go approximately 1 mile to Van Thompson Road and turn left. Follow Van Thompson to parking lots.
With no delays (check traffic report the morning of the race) the park entrance to Sandy Run Regional Park is about 30 minutes from Arlington. Plan to arrive at the parking area at least 3 hours prior to your rower's race.
Parking is $15.00 per car. Cash only – exact change appreciated by the volunteer parent parking crew! The parking crew will direct you on where to park. No parking allowed along neighborhood roads.
It can get very crowded at the Occoquan races, so you may have to park in a satellite parking lot – there are shuttles to then take you to the main lot (Lot C). The walking path from this lot to the finish line/viewing area is about a 20 minute walk. When on this trail, you will come to a T in the path — go to the left to reach the viewing area. Going to the right will take you to the boathouse and the W-L team tent.
If you get to Lot C with time to spare you could walk straight down the road to where the teams launch the boats. Just make sure to not get in the way of any of the boats being taken in/out of the launch area! This is also the area where the W-L team tent will be set up/where the rowers will be during down time. If you have time, stop by to say hello to your rower and then take the path that runs along the river to the grandstands.
If you do not want to walk to the race, there is usually a shuttle bus that can take you to the viewing area. Ask the parking attendants how to find the shuttle and the price.
Satellite Parking
If you are coming later in the morning, satellite parking for VASRA is at 12849 Gordon Blvd – the lot is opposite this address at the intersection of 123 & Old Bridge Rd. $5/person. There will be signs in the medium to direct you and shuttle buses will take you to the event. Just as you take the 123 exit from 95, to look for Old Bridge Road.
Rowers need to bring their own food for races at the Occoquan. They should pack a lunch, snacks, and drinks. It is a long day, so make sure they have enough healthy food/snacks to sustain their energy levels!
There is a concession stand near the launch area with grilled food, so your rower should also bring some money if they want to purchase food. There is also a concession stand at the viewing area for parents to get food (cash only).
The W-L team tent will have light snacks and water/drink for the rowers.
VASRA Volunteers
If you volunteered for a VASRA job at at this or any other race, remember to sign in for W-L to get credit for being there. Once you park, go toward the boat launch area. The sign-in area is in a small building to the right as you near the water that has a large "VOLUNTEER SIGN-IN" sign. If you are doing a job at the finish portion of the course, plan to sign in at least ½ hour before your shift so that you have enough time to walk down to the finish area.
Volunteer Sign up
Rowers will also be able to purchase a shirt that commemorates the race (or you can purchase it for them at the concession stand). The price is usually under $20 and is (again) payable only in cash.
Items for Parents to Bring
Folding chair
Bug spray
Cash for parking and food
Reading material for between races
(not allowed in the park are dogs, bikes, or alcohol)
Also — there are only porta-potties (suggest you bring hand sanitizer or hand-wipes — pack some for your rower, too, along with bug spray, sunscreen, and a hat for them)

Honey Tips For Summer
Summer is officially here and the honeybees are buzzing! As you prepare for long days at the swimming pool or trips to the lake, don't forget to pack some honey! Honey can be a helpful home remedy and has many uses. Here are some of our favorite honey summer tips:
Natural Relief for Sunburn
Applying Sue Bee® honey directly on sunburned skin will cool, soothe and promote faster healing. Then, to help your skin rehydrate, mix together 1 teaspoon of Sue Bee® honey, 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon of lemon juice and put it on the sunburned area. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with water.
Treat Bug Bites
Rubbing Sue Bee® honey on a bug bite and pressing an ice cube on the honey will help lift dead skin cells and produce new ones to close the wound, thanks to the natural sugar. Honey has antibacterial power that is more effective than regular medical gels.
Help Summer-Damaged Hair
Swimming and sunshine can be tough on hair. Keep yours healthy this summer with a hair shine. Stir 1 teaspoon of Sue Bee® honey into 4 cups of warm water. Add lemon if desired. After shampooing, pour the mixture through your hair. Don't rinse. Dry as usual.
Get In Swimsuit Shape
Honey is a wonder food, and as it turns out, you can even make it part of your weight-loss plan. Honey is an excellent substitute for sugar; it also helps speed up your metabolism. Just remember: all things in moderation.

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith was arrested early Monday morning after crashing into a light post in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
According to a report released by the Kansas City Police Department, the arresting officer stated that Smith "appeared confused" after the accident and "began mumbling statements that I did not understand." Smith declined medical treatment at the scene.
Smith was cited with operating a vehicle with .08 percent or more of alcohol in his blood and with driving a vehicle in a careless manner. He received an additional citation for failing to present proof of insurance.
The Chiefs released a statement on the matter Tuesday:
"We are aware of the situation involving Sean Smith. Whenever one of our players is involved in an incident like this it is disappointing. We will have no further comment at this time as this is an ongoing legal matter."
Smith, 26, is entering the second year of a three-year, $16.5 million contract he signed with the Chiefs in March 2013. ProFootballFocus.com ranked Smith 50th among 110 cornerbacks last season.
The end to the latest Around The League Podcast is full of shock and awe.

Do you think the following agreement will help to stop the violence? Is there anybody this forum knows about the real story about Darfur? In the us media Sudanese Government is the main actor in Darfur case.
NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) -- After nearly three years of negotiations, Sudan's government and main rebel group Sunday have signed comprehensive peace accords to end more than 21 years of civil war.
The ceremony in Nairobi, Kenya, was attended by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, fresh from a visit to tsunami-struck regions in South Asia.
The agreement was signed by Sudan's Vice President Ali Osman Taha and Sudanese People's Liberation Movement (SPLA) leader John Garang.
International officials hope that the agreement will bring Khartoum closer to solving its problems in the western Darfur region, .
The southern rebels -- mostly Christian and animist -- and the mostly Muslim government signed a permanent cease-fire last week.
The war was sparked by a government effort to impose Islamic law on the mostly Christian south in 1983. The resulting war was fueled by the south's rich oil reserves, ethnicity and a desire for self governance. Over two million deaths, many from starvation, are blamed on the 21-year-old conflict.
Both the government and the rebel group will not disband their armies under the agreement, and could return to war if they hit a snag along the road to peace, according to Kenyan envoy Lazarus Sumbeiyo.
"A major guarantee (of the agreement) is the retention of the two armies through the interim period, which in effect what it is saying is if we don't agree along the road, then we go back to war because they've just come from war," he said. "But I don't think the people of Sudan, both North and South, would want to go back to war."
Whether the people of Sudan want war or not, the rebel group warns it is more than prepared to return to the battlefield.
"If the North was to abrogate, then this is an open fight because this time we are not going to fight in the bushes but we are going to be in town so we are going to say, 'Okay, you are abrogating the agreement, then we deploy all our forces along the North,'" said SPLA representative Samson Kwaje. "I don't think Khartoum will like this situation so that we go back to war."
But as Khartoum makes peace on one front, another violent conflict persists in western Sudan.
When asked about ending that war, the government says the agreement with the SPLA rebels will provide the impetus for a speedy resolution to the insurgency in the West.
"Darfur happened because of the war in the South, because the war was taking all our money, our efforts," said Sudan's Ambassador to Kenya Ali Abdel Rahman Nimeri.
"That's why Darfur as a place in the Sudan had been neglected for a time -- no development and no government to act there.
"Now we have free hands to work for Darfur, also, the SPLA will put its input into this problem and we are sure that Darfur will just vanish."
It will be an uphill battle, as peace talks with rebels in the West have failed time and time again.
For now, though, the country celebrates a hard-won deal that elevates Garang to the post of First Vice-President.
Over the next six months, he and President Omar el-Bashir must prepare an interim power-sharing government for a six-year term challenged with making peace a reality for all Sudanese.

I am afraid not. The only solution accepted to the US and Zionists would be to - a pro-US/Israel regime in Sudan which allow them to exploit it huge oil resorces (12% of known world reserves) - just like Iraq and Afghanistan.

I know people from this area.
I believe this whole issue is not really over the poor people of Darfur. I believe this issue is a cover issue for another hidden adjenda.
Remember, Europe enslaved black Africa and does not give them justice and equality even today, in their own home nations of Europe and America. Why do they need to travel all the way to Sudan to pretend to care about what is happening in Darfur?
Do you know that there is more oil in Southern Sudan than in all of Arabia?
We all know that Dick Cheney's company offered the Taliban "a carpet of gold or a carpet of bombs" before 911. We know that the major oil companies jockied for control of Iraqi oil. I believe they are now pushing for control of Sudan's oil under the guise of caring about the suffering of the poor.
Those who live in the North of Sudan are darker than blacks in America, and yet they claim that this is Arab racism against the blacks in the South of Sudan. Both people are black. It is black on black violence against those being armed by Western governments (who are being urged on by the Oil mafia), working covertly through the bordering nations of Sudan.

Greetings to all,
I find it extraordinary that the first thought that comes to mind regarding U.S. involvement in the Sudan is one of oil and imperialism. do all of you honestly think americans sit around all day and think of which country we can exploit? I can see genuine concern in some of your posts about the humanitarian issue that exists there, why can't you afford Americans the same graciousness?
As Christians, we pray for the black, evil, hate filled souls of the Islamo-Jihadists every day. If this offends you, then you know who I'm praying for.

Well, sorry to be a cynic but not sure this government has much humanitarianism.. there may be specific people who are but there are too many people who have ties to large corporations.. and they DO look for oil reserves. They care nothing for the people of those regions. It is called greed.
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi

text: A musical keyboard is the set of adjacent depressible levers or keys on a musical instrument, particularly the piano. Keyboards typically contain keys for playing the twelve notes of the Western musical scale, with a combination of larger, longer keys and smaller, shorter keys that repeats at the interval of an octave. Depressing a key on the keyboard causes the instrument to produce sounds, either by mechanically striking a string or tine (piano, electric piano, clavichord); plucking a string (harpsichord); causing air to flow through a pipe (organ); or strike a bell (carillon). On electric and electronic keyboards, depressing a key connects a circuit (Hammond organ, digital piano, synthesizer). Since the most commonly encountered keyboard instrument is the piano, the keyboard layout is often referred to as the "piano keyboard".

Once completed your front end should look something like this:
Since I have a bit of time on my hands I thought I would get around to writing up a more detailed how to on the sr20det engine conversion. A lot of the information you are going to read is probably already contained in fireballs sr20det conversion that was written up way back in 2001. I have got to say that, when I first bought my Exa in 2002, I was going to go ca18det but after reading the article written by Fireball I decided to go sr20 instead. The reasons behind this for me was to be different and have a 1 off original car that no one else has, for other people considering this conversion, my advice to you is be dedicated, read through both articles, and know that you are doing something that not many other people have done before you, so it may be a little bit harder to achieve a result. But if you do I hope that it is all that you want it to be and or more.
Firstly before you start off the conversion, do your research into all the different types of sr20det motors that are available. Nothing is impossible to achieve, it all depends on what you are willing to do to achieve it, or how much youre willing to pay someone to do it for you. For this conversion, I have used an east-west mounted motor that came out of a Sunny Pulsar Gti-R. I have been told that you could use rwd motors from say an s15 Silvia, however there is a lot more preparation needed to get the motor into a state where it can be used in a fwd car, by this I mean you have to strip back the motor back to bare block and dress it with all fwd parts. If you want more information on this ask an engine builder, who will probably say that, your nuts in the first place for considering it.
Depending on the motor you decide to go with, and in what state your buying it in, that is front cut, just motor or motor, loom and ecu, expect to pay anywhere from $1500-$4000. Shop around on this as you can save a lot of money. Places to look can include interstate, Japanese wreckers that dont use the net and privately. Also when you buy a motor from a wrecker, try to get some sort of warranty on it. Most will have a start up warranty, which basically means that they will start the motor for you and your motor will be covered under warranty from this time. Also consider doing a compression test on the motor prior to purchase. Its better to check the motor before you have it, rather then finding out you have a dud after you have bought it.
Well, mechanically speaking, the first thing you need to do is obviously remove the ca18de or ca16de motor that currently resides inside your engine bay. Be gentle as youre ripping this baby out of its home, and if youre lucky you might be able to sell it off to someone else, or keep her for later on if you want to swap it back in (However this may be a little hard if you have modified the chassis or engine bay in anyway). All you need to take out is the motor itself, the gearbox and associated wiring that goes with the 2. Leave all body electrics in place as you will need these for the other parts of the car i.e. lights, wipers, washers. You can do away with the hydraulic clutch setup (ca18de only), as well as the drive shafts as either will be useless for this conversion.
Ok thats the easy part done now. What you should be looking at now is a bare engine bay like the picture above. From this point I would strongly recommend that you seek the help of a trained, qualified, and slightly crazy mechanic that CAN weld in both TIG and MIG. The reason for this is that the person that undertakes the engine conversion will have to weld the new engine mounts up for you, and may have to reposition the chassis side mounts in the engine bay. However if you are somewhat mechanically minded and think you can do this conversion, then by all means give it a go, But dont complain to me if it goes all wrong, as like I stated earlier its hasnt been done all that many times so this should be used as only a general guide and not a complete how to write up.
On the positioning of the actual motor, in my case the motor had to sit a little bit more forward. The reason being that the intake phlenum is particularly large on the Gti-R motor, and you also have to take into account that the motor will naturally rock back and forward under acceleration. Also on the positioning of the motor, you will notice that with the standard suspension, the new motor will only clear the floor by about 100mm after the conversion is completed. The reason for this is that the sr20 motor is about 20kg heavier then the ca18 motor, and that the physical size of the motor is also longer, because the turbo motor has a larger sump to compensate for the larger oil pump needed. To fix this get harder suspension or adjustable suspension for your new ride after the conversion is complete.
If you have decided to do the conversion on your own then this is how the engine mounts should look like when then are completed. I did not do the mount myself; they were made up by a mechanic. From what he told me, and from what I saw, the standard sr20de mounts can be used, however they had to be cut back and welded onto the ca18de mounts so that you get a hybrid type mount. The drivers side mount on the motor is just a standard sr20de mount; however the chassis side had to be modified to suit the mount. The gearbox mount is the bottom half of a sr20de mount that has been cut and welded onto the ca18de round mount. Note that the chassis side of the engine mount have also been moved slightly forward and re-enforced, to suit the motor as well as the extra power.
The above 2 pictures are views of the engine mounts of the drivers side mount.
Above are the 2 pictures of the gearbox mount.
The dog bone mount at the front of the motor also needs to be repositioned on the radiator support to line it up with the motor. The rear engine mount needs to be welded into your cross member, which will line up with the transfer case (gearbox). Although that this sounds very easy, this is the hardest part of the process and will therefore take the longest time to complete. I must stress that when doing this the first time, do it right because you dont want to damage your motor or have any headaches later on. Also make sure you re-enforce the new mounts on the chassis side because you dont want them to be ripped out from the extra torque that highly tuned sr20det motor can make. Another thing that you may want to consider if you have the funds, are urethane mounts. This should stiffen up the engine mounts, which means less movement of the engine (but more vibration throughout the car). Another product I have been told of but never tried is an engine dampener. Refer to the web for further information on this.
Firstly in terms of the drive train you will not need the standard ca18de gearbox and all associated parts. By this I mean that the gearbox will not fit up to the sr20det motor. Also the slave cylinder will have to be removed and in its place a cable clutch will be used to engage the clutch. This stage should be started when the engine bay is empty as it will give you some room to move around, and also allows you to dress the motor while it is out of the car instead of when it is in.
The first step involved with fitting up the drive train and making it work is to source all the parts that you will need. For this conversion you will need:
-standard sr20de gearbox
-clutch cable
-bracket that holds the clutch cable to the firewall
-standard sr20de flywheel
-new heavy duty clutch
-custom driveshaft (maybe)
Now that you have all the required parts the first step would be to remove the slave cylinder from the firewall. Also from memory check behind the clutch pedal as there is a line that needs to be removed from there as well. (Your gearbox should be already out with the motor).
If your new sr20det motor is on an engine hoist or on the ground etc, it is now the best time to do a clutch change on it. In order to do this you will first have to change the flywheel as the DET flywheel is too large to fit into a fwd gearbox. You can either get a standard sr20de flywheel, from a SSS pulsar, and bolt it up to the motor, or you can buy yourself a lightened flywheel such as the one from Fidenza. The advantage this flywheel has over standard is that it is a lot lighter, by about 5kg from memory, which means that down low in the rev range you will feel a lot more torque, however the trade off is that up top in the revs, the torque dies off a little. The reason for this being inertia, and if you have some understanding of physics you will understand what I mean. Anyways back to the point, when bolting up your flywheel go buy NEW flywheel bolts. They dont cost too much, and Nissan should have them in stock.
Now on to the clutch. This issue will have a lot of people arguing over what I am about to write, however this is my own personal opinion and if you have read this far you must be interested in what I have to say. The clutch should be matched up to what you plan to use the car for. By this I mean that if you plan to use the car as an everyday driver, then buy something that will be kind to your gearbox and your left leg. If you are planning on using your car as a track star or weekend warrior (which was my plan) then get a heavy duty clutch that will keep on gripping, but will probably do your gearbox in prematurely. For the people wanting an everyday driver clutch, look for a heavy duty organic clutch. RPM make a decent clutch for this application, and I have been told by the seller that they can withstand up to 300kw at the motor. These clutches grip extremely well and are good in city traffic where you will have to stop/start a lot. In terms of feel, the clutch doesnt feel that much different to a standard factory clutch at all, and useability/drivablity is quite good.
On the other hand for the weekend warrior or track star you will need something much more beefier. Something that will not give up on you when youre near redline, on the burnout before your quarter-mile run. For this application you cant go past a brass button clutch or ceramic clutch depending on who you speak to. They are both the same thing just different people call it different names. These clutches are said to be able to handle upwards of 400kw, however they are very hard on the gearbox because of the higher clamping pressure which shocks the gearbox when it is engaged. In terms of feel of them they are hard to push in, because they have an up-rated pressure plate, and if you drive too much on 1, prepared to look lopsided cause your left calf/thigh muscles will look like a professional footballers leg.
On the left is the brass button clutch that I have fitted up to the Exa. On the right is an example of a heavy duty organic clutch. Apart from the design of the clutch, the other main difference is the material that the clutch is made out of.
Once the flywheel and clutch are bolted up, its time to bolt up the gearbox to the motor. This is probably the easiest job you will have to do in terms of the drive train. If you follow the lip of your gearbox around, you should notice 2 small metal dowels that extend out of the bell housing. These dowels are aligning tools which are used to line the gearbox up to the motor. Line these dowels up to the female ends on the motor and bolt the box up. Of the 8 or so bolt holes on the bell-housing only 5 line up to bolt holes on the DET motor. Do not worry about this, as it doesnt play that big a role in the whole scheme of things. Just make sure you tighten up those 5 bolts and your now set.
For the drive shafts this will be different for everyone. The reason I say this is because it all depends on how the motor is positioned in the engine bay in the first place. If the new motor is close to where the original ca18de motor did sit, then you should be able to use standard drive shafts out of any normally aspirated sr20de fwd car. The passenger side drive shaft should be a single piece, while the drivers side is a 2 piece drive shaft. This is a best case scenario, however if you are in the same boat as me and nothing goes to plan, then you will have to get custom drive shafts made up. Speak to a professional about this one, as they do know what they are talking about and should be able to custom fit or even make a set of drive shafts up for you.
For your speedo sensor, you can use the standard Exa speedo cable. The cable will slide into the speedo sender on the gearbox, and tighten to give you an accurate reading. Having said this, the speedo may need to be recalibrated as the sender is different and not meant to suit the Exa gauges, but I never had any problems with this when it was fitted up.
The shift selectors also need to be modified to match up to where the gearbox sits. This needs to be done after the motor and gearbox is fitted up to the car. I had to get my selectors extended out by about 20mm to reach the new box. The fittings are exactly the same and should bolt up without any hassles.
The bracket that mounts up to the firewall is a simple metal plate that allows the clutch cable to pass through it in its centre and bolts up to the firewall. The purpose of this bracket is to reinforce the hole that the clutch cable passes through on the firewall as well as stabilizing it. The bracket can be taken from an n13 pulsar that uses a standard clutch cable. The clutch cable on the other hand can be taken from an n14 pulsar. The standard clutch cable that I used came from an n14 pulsar, but it was short buy about 2-3 inches. I had the cable extended out by using a joining nut and a threaded piece of metal.
In terms of braking, I strongly recommend that you upgrade the front and if you have drums at the rear changing them to discs. At the end of the day it doesnt matter if you have 200kw at the front wheels if you cant stop. For this reason invest in a set of AD22VF calipers and or hubs. These brake calipers come from the n15 SSS, Gti-r, and nx-r. They are a relatively cheap upgrade and can be performed after the engine conversion. Instead of just buying the calipers and changing them over (which I have been told works), you may want to consider buying the entire hub instead. The reason being that your Exas wheel bearings are probably on the verge of collapsing as they would be 15 years old and probably driven on for around 200000+ kms.
The left hub/brake setup is from the Exa. The right hand side is the AD22VF setup. Notice the larger rotor surface area, as well as the larger caliper. Also they still remain the same stud pattern.
For the rear if you have drum brakes as I did, change them over to discs. Although they dont do all too much in the whole braking combination, you still want to have the maximum braking power that you can afford to get. For the rear brake change you will need to get the:
-2 rear hubs
-handbrake cable
-calipers and rotors
The change over process for both is covered in more detail on the www.exaclub.com website under the modifications section.
The wiring on the motor should be very simple IF you bought the motor with the original harness still attached. If thats the case then it should be a matter of connecting it to the power of your car, and connecting up the sensors that are yet to be connected, i.e. coolant temperature, and oxygen sensor. You may need to refer this matter to a certified auto electrician as the sensors are not calibrated to the ECU that you bought.
If however you are planning to do further modifications in the future, and want an ECU that will accommodate all your future modifications then you may want to consider an aftermarket ECU. There are a range of different units on the market and each has their own positive and negatives. For what I was planning on doing with my car, I had to go aftermarket. I chose an ECU that was relatively cheap to purchase and install. However there are hidden costs to consider when buying a computer that I wasnt aware of until recently. The initial costs of an ECU will vary depending on what you have chosen and paid for. The real money that is spent on the computer comes in at the tuning stage. Dyno tuning is an expensive exercise that will end up costing you. My advice to you is that you go see someone that has a name in the industry, ask a lot of questions, and get it done right the first time. You could always go the backyard mechanics route and try to get the cheapest but with tuning you get what you pay for. Another thought you may want to consider is that if your tuning is done dodgy, you may blow up your motor, which will cost a lot more to fix.
The exhaust is an all important modification that will need to be carried out with the conversion. On a DET motor the standard Exa exhaust wont cut it. You will need to go bigger. I would recommend either 2 ½ - 3 inch exhaust. Not a lot to write on this matter except replace your old exhaust system with a new one. With the unit that I ran with, I got a custom 3 inch down pipe (dump pipe) made up which ran to a flexi, then connected straight to the catalytic converter. From there the exhaust went to a cannon style muffler.

Thats just off the top of my head. The time it took to get the conversion done is ages. It all comes down to how much money you have to spend on the car, or your mechanical knowledge and the time you want to spend fixing up your car. You can pay someone the big dollars to do this conversion for you, start to finish and it would probably cost around $10,000 in labour + parts. This is a rough estimate, as most mechanics will most likely just laugh at you for even thinking about doing such a conversion. Time it should take a professional, no longer then 3 months tops. And thats not working on your car full time either.
For myself, my Exa was a labour of love. I originally purchased the car on December 31st 2002, and the motor was out of the car by early Feb 2003. My car had been off the road for around 18 months, and while I didnt do the major job of fitting the motor, I have pretty much worked on everything else mechanically. On May 19th 2005 my car was sold to EdZ^eXa, a fellow member of the exaclub.com forums. His building a website at http://users.ncable.net.au/~edenb/srexa/ which is dedicated to this project.

Introduce the two handle soft plastic mouth sippy every now and then at about eight months. They'll most likely reject it at first, but keep slowly introducing it maybe a few times a month and they'll eventually catch on. By the age of 1 & a 1/2 or 2 your baby should not still be drinking from a bottle it is not good for their teeth. If they are not faithfully using a pacifier it'll be easier to ween them off the bottle and into a sippy cup. For all you first time Mommies out there, good luck. :)
How did you transition to sippy cups?
As your little one gets older, it's time to start teaching them some important skills, like eating and drinking with utensils. Enter the sippy cup! But transition is sometimes difficult. How did you teach your little one to use this essential tool?
Like Danielle Bitto we also skipped sippy cups and went straight to regular cups. I hate sippy cups. The tops get chewed, they leak when they get old, they can be a pain to wash, it was just something else to buy. We also used water bottles with spouts on trips.
I started all 4 of my kids on sippy cups around 6 months old. They still had a bottle for breastmilk or formula, but they only got juice in a sippy cup. Right before they turned 1 I started to give them part milk/part formula in a cup. Started off with 1 a day. On their 1st birthday, they only got cups of either milk or juice. I only had problems with my 2nd & 4th. My 2nd is stubborn as anything & fought the milk in a cup for about 2 days - I just gave her extra OJ with calcium & vitamin D. Then she took her milk without any problems. And my 4th would only use a sippy cup with a straw. I tried every single sippy cup I had from my 1st 3, and that was all he would use. But at 3, he's drinking out of a regular cup with no problem.
I didn't. *shrug*
My kids were breastfed, so that may have had something to do with it, but I started them on regular cups as soon as they were sitting with us at mealtimes. Since they'd never taken a bottle, a sippy seemed unnecessary to me. At first, I'd give them an empty cup to play with. Once they were bored with it, I'd add an ounce or two of water; no big deal if they spilled it. I never "taught" them to drink out of it, but watching us drink from our glasses at mealtimes, they'd begin to mimic us. It only took a few weeks for them to stop turning it over or spilling it, at which point I'd give them breast milk or diluted juice in the cup instead of just water. All my kids were drinking from an open cup without a mess by a year (the earliest was 8 months, the latest was 11 months.) It was a few months before I'd give them more than 2 ounces at a time, though. Of course, even at 4, 3, and 22 months, there are occasional accidental spills (heck, even I knock my glass over on occasion,) but it's not a regular occurrence. The exception to the open-cup policy is long car-rides or outings, when they all have thermoses with spouts so we can pack them easily in the diaper bag.
at about one year old we transitioned to sippy cup. took the bottles away all together.
I started my daughter on a sippy cup once she was able to hold her own bottle. (she was 5 months old) I started out only putting juice and water in it. When I started transitioning her to milk instead of formula I then started giving her formula in her sippy cup and she was only getting her bottle at night before bed. Now she is almost a year old and I have completely taken her off the bottle. At first she was not to fond of the sippy cup. I figured out that if she got a sippy cup first thing in the morning before seeing a bottle she took to it much better. She now has no desire for a bottle and loves her sippy cup.
i have only just given my son a sippy cup (20 months) as i made the mistake of giving him a drink bottle with a straw ( once he could hold own bottle) then realised hey thats not going to help to drink out of an uncovered cup hahaha he has taken to it okish if i had to go back and do it again i would not have given him the straw till later
Just gave it to her and tipped it over. She refused to use the bottle, for either formula or breast milk, which made life a bit difficult at times. So after 6 months I tried a sippy cup instead on her, and she liked it. She prefers the cup with the rubber spout, probably because she just started teething. She'll drink anything in it, including formula when I need it. She's never used a pacifier either.
we threw all her bottles out together and now she has no more bottles and I tell her she is a big girl and she repeats that she is a big girl!
Just gave one to her when she was about 6 months old. She was never into bottles and took to them right away. She's now 20 months and drinks from a regular cup.
I just got my 18 month old off of bottles this weekend, 4th child...I finally decided enough is enough. I was hesitant because I offered her sippy cups here and there and she just drank more out of bottles, probably because of the familiarity. I did sippy cups during the day and morning and night a bottle and then just threw out all bottles on Sunday, mostly so I didn't and couldn't turn back...she is a human being. If she is thirsty, she will drink...she's done very well this week off of bottles.
I introduced the sippy cup to both of my children (now 2 & 6) at about 6 months. As soon as they were sitting in a high chair & eating some solid foods, I gave them a sippy cup. It was more of a toy at first that they banged around, but it didn't take long for them to understand it was actually something useful. I used the smaller ones with handles on both sides. Just seemed easier for their little hands to grasp. I also took the plug out for the first few tries of actual liquid drinking so they knew that there was something in there and they could get the hang of tilting it up. It took a little while to get them to tip it up & suck on it properly but not more than a few weeks. I got rid of all bottles at 6 months with both kids. I nursed them both until 13 months though, so bottles were only at daycare or with Daddy mostly. We were a fairly minimal bottle family. All bottles were replaced with sippy cups at about 6 months. I can say it was more difficult with my youngest than my oldest. But, some of that, I think, was that she really liked her pacifier and she was in daycare more & used a bottle more consistently there. My oldest never used a pacifier and used a bottle far less. After some initial frustration with my youngest I realized that she didn't like the harder topped sippy cups, so I ended up using a transition sippy cup for about a month that had a softer sippy part. That pretty much took care of her resistance to actually drinking from it. She was using the regular type in no time.
I am trying to transition my little man to a sippy cup. He really dislikes bottles and only really wants me ( i am breastfeeding). Did you pump and place the fresh expressed milk into the sippy or warm your breast milk or give it cold? I either blacked out any struggle when giving my daughter the sippy or she was just so amiable and thirsty.
I did put warmed up breastmilk (I usually just froze it & then warmed in a cup) in the sippy after about 6 months when I was not available to nurse. I also gradually replaced nursing with other meals so I was breastfeeding about 3x a day after 8 months. It was difficult to find the right topper with my second, but she continues to be a much picker eater in general than my first. (She's two next week) It was a gradual process, but my goal was to nurse until past their first birthday & to not have any bottles once the weening was done.
Once my daughter was able to hold her own bottle, I started giving her a sippy cup and it turned out grerat

Thrust spherical plain bearings
Thrust spherical plain bearings (table 1) have a convex spherical surface on the shaft washer and a corresponding concave spherical surface in the housing washer. They are intended to accommodate primarily axial loads but can also accommodate combined (radial and axial) loads. The radial load component of a combined load should not exceed 50% of the axial load component. When radial loads are larger, it is advisable to combine thrust bearings with radial bearings in the GE dimension series (fig. 1). Thrust spherical plain bearings are separable, e.g. shaft and housing washers can be mounted separately.
SKF manufactures thrust spherical plain bearings with the maintenance-free steel/ PTFE FRP (fibre reinforced polymer containing PTFE) sliding contact surface combination as standard. Other sliding surface combinations are available on request (Special designs).
