Leukemia is cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy center of the long bones that produces the three major blood cells: white blood cells to fight infection; red blood cells that carry oxygen; and platelets that help with blood clotting and stop bleeding. When a child has leukemia, the bone marrow, for an unknown reason, begins to make white blood cells that do not mature correctly, but continue to reproduce themselves. Normal, healthy cells only reproduce when there is enough space for them to fit. The body can regulate the production of cells by sending signals when to stop. With leukemia, these cells do not respond to the signals to stop and reproduce, regardless of space available.
These abnormal cells reproduce very quickly and do not function as healthy white blood cells to help fight infection. When the immature white blood cells, called blasts, begin to crowd out other healthy cells in the bone marrow, the child experiences the symptoms of leukemia (i.e., infections, anemia, bleeding).
Leukemia is the most common form of cancer in childhood. It affects approximately 3,000 children each year in the US, accounting for about 30 percent of childhood cancers.
Leukemia can occur at any age, although it is most commonly seen in children between 2 and 6 years of age. The disease occurs slightly more frequently in males than in females, and is more commonly seen in Caucasian children than in African-American children, or children of other races.
The majority of childhood leukemias are acquired genetic diseases. This means that gene mutations and chromosome abnormalities in cells occur sporadically (by chance).
The immune system plays an important role in protecting the body from diseases, and possibly cancer. An alteration or defect in the immune system may increase the risk for developing leukemia. Factors such as exposure to certain viruses, environmental factors, chemical exposures and various infections have been associated with damage to the immune system.
With the exception of specific genetic syndromes, little is known about the causes of childhood leukemia.
There are three main types of leukemia including:
The difference between lymphocytic and myelogenous is the stage of development on what is called the pluripotent stem cell. The pluripotent stem cell is the first stage of development of all of the blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets). This stem cell goes through stages of development until it matures into a functioning cell. The type of leukemia is determined by where the cell is in the stage of development when it becomes malignant, or cancerous.
The stem cell matures into either the lymphoid or myeloid cells. The lymphoid cells mature into either B-lymphocytes or T-lymphocytes. If the leukemia is among these cells, it is called acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). If the leukemia is found even further along this stage of development, it can be further classified as B-cell ALL or T-cell ALL. The more mature the cell, the more difficult it is to treat.
The myeloid cells develop into platelets, red blood cells and specialized white blood cells called neutrophils and macrophages. There are many classifications of AML. The type of leukemia is determined by the stage of development when the normal cells become leukemia cells.
Because leukemia is cancer of the blood-forming tissue called the bone marrow, the initial symptoms are often related to irregular bone marrow function. The bone marrow is responsible for storing and producing about 95 percent of the body's blood cells, including the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
When leukemia occurs, the abnormal white blood cells (blasts) begin to reproduce very rapidly and begin crowding out and competing for nutrients and space with the other healthy cells. The following are the most common symptoms of leukemia. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
With acute leukemia (ALL or AML), these symptoms may occur suddenly in a matter of days or weeks. With chronic leukemia (CML), these symptoms may develop slowly over months to years.
It is important to understand that the symptoms of leukemia may resemble other blood disorders or medical problems. These are common symptoms of the disease, but do not include all possible symptoms. Children may experience symptoms differently. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for leukemia may include:
Specific treatment for leukemia will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment usually begins by addressing the presenting symptoms such as anemia, bleeding and infection. In addition, treatment for leukemia may include (alone or in combination) the following:
There are various stages in the treatment of leukemia, including the following:
Prognosis greatly depends on:
As with any cancer, prognosis and long-term survival can vary greatly from child to child. Prompt medical attention and aggressive therapy are important for the best prognosis. Continuous follow-up care is essential for the child diagnosed with leukemia.
Side effects of radiation and chemotherapy, as well as second malignancies, can occur in survivors of leukemia. New methods are continually being discovered to improve treatment and to decrease side effects of the treatment for the disease.

Shirley, I've got some great news for you. If your PC is running Vista then it most likely can run Windows 7. Microsoft has a free utility called the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor which will scan your computer and report back on the upgrade ability and any possible conflicts.
Click here to download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. Once you run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, a report will show on the screen giving you a list of possible compatibility issues t specific to your computer. You can review this report to determine if any software or hardware won't work once you install Windows 7.
It's also a good idea to visit your manufacturer's website and look for drivers under the support section. You can find out if Windows 7 drivers are available for your computer's internal devices. If there are drivers available, download them and put them onto a DVD or a USB flash drive. Once you complete the upgrade, you'll have the drivers you need to install.
If you do decide to upgrade, I would look online or in-store for the Upgrade edition of Windows 7 Home Premium. This edition is the most popular version of Windows 7 and is designed for home users who do not need to connect to a corporate work network.

Downgrade of SH 130 Bonds Seen as Vindication for Toll Opponents
Groups which have been fighting against toll roads in Texas for years say, we don't want to say 'I told you so,' but I told you so.
"I have to say this is what we anticipated would happen," said Terri Hall of Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom in response to the downgrading of the bonds of the State Highway 130 Concessions Company, the private group that built the south half of the new SH 130 toll road, to junk status.
"Obviously, this toll road has been in trouble from day one."
In an action taken October 15:
1200 WOAI news reports Moody's investor service downgraded the ratings of the $1.1 billion in bonds issued to build the southern half of the toll road to Caa3, essentially junk status.
Moody's said its downgrade 'reflects the increased prospects for a payment default.' It went on to say that traffic and revenue 'will continue to grow slow to moderate, yet inadequate pace in order to meet the current debt service profile. The outlook also reflects the uncertainty regarding additional sponsor support and the ultimate lender recovery rate in a post payment default environment' and says a 'rating upgrade is unlikely at this time.'
Hall says the financial troubles being faced by the company, which is essentially a combination of San Antonio based Zachry American Infrastructure and the Madrid based global engineering firm Cintra, shows that the so called 'public private partnership' system of building toll roads, which is being pushed hard by Governor Perry and TxDOT as well as by Bexar County Commissioners, is a failed model.
"We don't think this is the way to fund our road system, people don't like the fact that these private companies have taken over our private road system," Hall said.
She says the financial troubles being faced by the SH 130 Concessions Company make it far less likely that other firms will step in to build toll roads in north Bexar County, where the likelihood of success is far less, because there are so many alternative routes for commuters to take.
"It is unaffordable, it is very expensive it is too far out of the way," Hall said of SH 130. "That's why this toll road has been in trouble from day one."
The company says it is committed to operating the toll road at a profit, and points out that investors in fifty year bonds are interested in long term, not short term success.
The company has already considering options ranging from lowering the tolls for semi trucks to building a new connector ramp from Interstate 35 to SH 130 near New Braunfels to make it easier for San Antonio to North Texas commuters to jump onto the toll road and avoid Austin's crushing traffic.
But Hall says they're going to have to do a lot more to make the road successful.
"I think that the reason why it hasn't succeeded is because it just costs too much money," she said of the $12 toll to drive from Seguin to Georgetown.
The SH 130 Concessions Company operates only the southern half of the 96 mile road. Provisions in the contract with the company call for the state to take over the toll road in case of default. Hall says it is uncertain whether the state would attempt to recoup its losses by operating it as a toll road, or would make it a free road.

The following describes the use cases for each directory as listed.
application/: This directory contains your application. It will house the MVC system, as well as configurations, services used, and your bootstrap file.
configs/: The application-wide configuration directory.
controllers/, models/, and views/: These directories serve as the default controller, model or view directories. Having these three directories inside the application directory provides the best layout for starting a simple project as well as starting a modular project that has global controllers/models/views.
controllers/helpers/: These
directories will contain action helpers. Action helpers will be
namespaced either as "
Controller_Helper_" for
the default module or "<Module>_Controller_Helper" in other
layouts/: This layout
directory is for MVC-based layouts. Since
Zend_Layout is capable of
MVC- and non-MVC-based layouts,
the location of this directory reflects that layouts are not on a
1-to-1 relationship with controllers and are independent of templates
within views/.
modules/: Modules allow a developer to group a set of related controllers into a logically organized group. The structure under the modules directory would resemble the structure under the application directory.
services/: This directory is for your application specific web-service files that are provided by your application, or for implementing a » Service Layer for your models.
Bootstrap.php: This file is
the entry point for your application, and should implement
The purpose for this file is to bootstrap the application and make
components available to the application by initializing them.
data/: This directory provides a place to store application data that is volatile and possibly temporary. The disturbance of data in this directory might cause the application to fail. Also, the information in this directory may or may not be committed to a subversion repository. Examples of things in this directory are session files, cache files, sqlite databases, logs and indexes.
docs/: This directory contains documentation, either generated or directly authored.
library/: This directory is for common libraries on which the application depends, and should be on the PHP include_path. Developers should place their application's library code under this directory in a unique namespace, following the guidelines established in the PHP manual's » Userland Naming Guide, as well as those established by Zend itself. This directory may also include Zend Framework itself; if so, you would house it in library/Zend/.
public/: This directory contains all
public files for your application. index.php sets up and
Zend_Application, which in turn invokes the
application/Bootstrap.php file, resulting in dispatching
the front controller. The web root of your web server would typically be set to
this directory.
scripts/: This directory contains maintenance and/or build scripts. Such scripts might include command line, cron, or phing build scripts that are not executed at runtime but are part of the correct functioning of the application.
temp/: The temp/ folder is set aside for transient application data. This information would not typically be committed to the applications svn repository. If data under the temp/ directory were deleted, the application should be able to continue running with a possible decrease in performance until data is once again restored or recached.
tests/: This directory contains application tests. These could be hand-written, PHPUnit tests, Selenium-RC based tests or based on some other testing framework. By default, library code can be tested by mimicing the directory structure of your library/ directory. Additionally, functional tests for your application could be written mimicing the application/ directory structure (including the application subdirectory).

Bleeding during Pregnancy
Yesterday as my partner turned 13 weeks pregnant she noticed a small amount of spotting (described to me as a teaspoons worth) after urinating.
She became alarmed and claimed she had tummy pains. She was sent home from work and the bleeding subsided. She has had no bleeding for about 18 hours now, however is complaining of "period pains".
Can you let me know if we have a real reason to worry?
She phoned the midwife, who reassured her, however said to book in with her GP if she was worried.
30th January 2014 06:35 AM #2
Dear Robert,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for your question.
I'm sorry to hear about your concern for your partner.
Although bleeding or spotting is common in pregnancy (around 25% of women experience bleeding in pregnancy) it is not considered to be 'normal'. Was the blood brown? This is less of a concern but if it becomes bright red it can be cause for concern.
Has your partner already had her first scan?
Period type cramps and bleeding can unfortunately sometimes indicate a problem with the pregnancy. Please hold in mind that most bleeding in pregnancy still results in a healthy baby. However, I would recommend booking in with your doctor or midwife if your partner is still experiencing cramping and and any spotting/ bleeding.
Thinking of you,
Please do post back if we can help you further.

You want to know what this Dallas November 2003 thread is all about and how it ties to South Carolina and Mark Sanford..... here it is......
Re: ANYONE WITH INFO ON VERY BIZARRE HAPPENINGS IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2003 IN DALLAS/FORT WORTH TX PLEASE HELP!! Quote
I, for one, believe the OP saw exactly what she says she saw.
But it is getting frustrating to have so many posters coming on here and saying that that she did indeed see something special. None of them have told her exactly who the man is and what he is about!
Posters are pretending to be in the know but only offer further mystery. Just spit it out. Who is he? What is he about? Is he JC, antiChrist, witness, alien, hybrid or what??? Stop all the "oh, yes he's special and you will know someday" bullshit and say it how it is!
It's getting irritating and it's not even interesting anymore. The poor OP must be very frustrated by all the riddles and mystery crap.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 505912
Ok. I understand your frustration.
I will say ALL I know but if you don't believe me, it is on you.
You all must understand that this mystery guy is connected to groups most of you deny exist. He IS living in South Carolina. He is there right now. 100% positive. When I say groups you deny exist, the first thing that popped into your head was illuminati or NWO type groups..right? Not so. When I say groups you deny I mean ones that are REALLY in control. Ones that aren't Earth bound. Keep your BS flags tucked. You want to know the truth about this thread, well I am telling it. If it doesn't fit into your easily explained away life then why are you even reading this thread with interest. Especially 22 pages later.
What the OP saw was not just some event. It was a major event. It was what some might call ordained. If I lose some of you now, well, leave. You asked, I am telling. If you ask my credentials on this matter I will tell you that I am in the know...somewhat. I have been in the shadow groups for a long time and have been hearing rumors about this guy even before this all happened. See, there is this thing called prophecy. They have know this guy was coming before he came. You know the crazy kind of law that the illuminati sort of adheres to that states "they must tell you about it first before they do it to you then it's ok"? Well, that is how these prophesies work that TPTB have found all over the world in carvings, paintings, scripts, books, etc. etc. I was told by someone very high up in the dark circles that this guy would arrive and there is nothing they can do about it. He said they were fighting the "HAND OF GOD".
What you all fail to understand is that there are quite a few members and former members of these dark circles that know about this thread and really just want the hell out. They are afraid. They denied there was actually someone or thing out there more powerful than them and whom they follow until they found this guy they cannot kill. Now they cannot even come near him. He is protected not by armed men standing by the window. He is protected by beings far above what most even believe in. He has 24 hour covering 7 days a week all year round. There is more UFO activity over wherever he is at any given time than almost anywhere else in the world. This would require you to believe in the fact that we have crafts within our atmosphere that are not from here. Guess what? We do. Have forever. They watch. They protect. They watch and protect him.
This guy has had contact with these watchers for years. He is completely aware of his protection. It is massive. What happened in Dallas was everything OP says and more. The ones coming on here making statements to that affect, including me, are speaking the truth. They know it is coming out anyway and some have told me they want to try and do something good to somehow rectify all the bad they have been involved in. I know this all sounds crazy but doesn't lights shooting into a pool, with hoards of birds, and a crazed guy throwing furniture across lobbies? It is not normal because it is out of the norm. This guy is out of the norm. He is in his early 40's. He is tall and dark haired and good looking. He has been watched by all sides since birth. He is American. He has bloodline that is BOTH sides. His bloodline mixture is very unique. He actually comes (partly) from one of the 13 illuminati families that you can google. The other part, well, that is another matter. I have actually heard that his mother was put to sleep and then artificially inseminated. I know.. crazy. I cannot verify this, just a rumor that will not go away amongst the circles.
Speaking of which, they are very afraid of this guy. I mean very. This guy has been talking about enlightenment and ascension for years and a lot of people he knows personally think that he is somewhat crazy. They are also very aware of his brilliance. I have heard rumors that his I.Q. is off the charts. I saw where another, that I suspect is in the know, say this exact thing earlier. I have heard this for years. The reason TPTB fear him so is that anything or anyone that at any time can have more actual power than them, can expose them and cast them out of the palace. The ones within the circles that had been systematically controlled to believe in nothing but their own power have had to come to a rude awakening. This event in Dallas was the death knell for their denial in a higher power. All the things the OP saw were real. The black SUV's were NWO agents and operatives who had come to town just to see all this. They were warned that he was in Dallas and some were actually trying to kill him. They actually threw him out of a speeding van on a major interstate near the airport. They were going to try and take him somewhere and kill him. All of the guys in the van were Iranian. That is what I was told.
The guy at the airport that was Asian was Chinese. There was a planned false flag at DFW that this mystery guy stopped. He knew about it. He was led there. He had the shit beat out of him and escaped. When he got to the airport he confronted lots of people and didn't really care who saw him. Obviously. They didn't arrest him because at that time he was what some in the circles call 'ON'. They say that when someone that is prophesied about comes into his calling that he has moments when he is actually activated. Yes enlightened. Many men throughout scriptures could do miraculous things but then seemed to go back to normal. It is something to that effect from what I have been told. Well, this Chinese man was no ordinary Joe. He was at the pinnacle of the circles within China. They are now VERY aware of the existence of mister mystery. They know his name. They know where he is. They know where he lives. They know what he eats. They know there isn't a damn thing they can do about it but wait. TPTB are completely and totally perplexed over what to do. For reason they do not know, everything they keep attempting to do to bring about world martial law, or at least in the US, has been thwarted. So much so that those within are now saying it is not going to happen. They are saying that this guy is going to ascend. They are saying that infighting over causing diversion (i.e.- pandemics, weather wars, even WW3) has escalated to the highest degree. Mass panic is taking place behind the scenes.
If he ascends, and proves humans are a LOT more than we have been conditioned to believe, the game is over. He will be invincible. Literally. Sounds crazy, I know. But you asked for the truth. The truth is weird. The reason the craziness is escalating within South Carolina is because this guy is there. It is his home. It was where he was born. The governor there may not know to the full extent about this guy. I was told he does then I was told he does not. He is, however, aware he is there. They have blackmailed Sanford. They have killed the attorney to make a point. The ones coming on here that are being matter of fact but vague are doing so because they are scared. I am somewhat protected and actually being allowed to say all this. I also saw where another said the same. I believe them. Lots of people within the circles want out and figure if many make a break at the same time they can't stop everyone. Even if dirty laundry gets aired, there will be so much that theirs won't be the only hanging in the breeze. Trust me though, this laundry is not only dirty...it is coated with blood.

The stakes are always high when bitter rivals Essendon and Carlton play each other. But on Sunday, they might be even higher for a third party not aligned with either of the two foundation clubs.
Potting the AFL has always been a popular pastime, but the league is currently copping a hammering - unprecedented even by its standards. Arrogant and out of touch have been popular slurs of late. But now you can add greedy.
Two issues have the football public fuming. One is scheduling, the other is the new variable pricing ticketing system. And when the Bombers take on the Blues at the MCG this weekend, those sore points are set to collide spectacularly.
Sunday's game is another of these 7.10pm kick-off affairs that have already caused all sorts of headaches for children, families or anyone who needs to get up for work on Monday morning.
Carlton fans will be familiar with the difficulties. Its round one game against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium started at 7.40pm on a Sunday and attracted just 24,460 fans - 5000 fewer than each of their past three clashes with the Power at the same venue.
Five of the last seven meetings between Essendon and Carlton have drawn crowds of more than 73,000. You can have long odds on a repeat of that.
But of course, TV ratings, with Channel 7 having generously departed from normal Sunday night programming to cover the game, will be healthy. Which, most fans would agree, is all the AFL now seems to care about.
The league, meanwhile, might have snuck variable pricing past the clubs, who will benefit financially, and the football media, which doesn't have to pay to get in, but it was always going to annoy the punters. And with the underwhelming and under-attended start to the season having forced people to look for answers, a perfect storm of sorts has been created.
So let's have a look. What will those without club memberships who decide to make the effort on Sunday be forking out?
Premium seats will cost adults $60 (up from $45.15 just two seasons ago). And kids? Clearly the AFL figures that being so late, they're not going to come anyway. Which is why it might get away with charging $20 for the same seats to those aged 6-14 ($10.55 in 2012) and those under six $17 ($8.05 in 2012).
And families? In 2012 they would have forked out $103.10. On Sunday, they'll be asked for $149.
We know the AFL will accuse us of quoting figures selectively here. And it would never do that itself.
Well, except on Monday when, at midnight, about half-a-day before such information is usually released, but after this writer's column about fans' displeasure and poor crowds had been posted online, in came a media release trumpeting the ''third highest total round two AFL crowd on record''.
It highlighted the ''best-ever attendance'' for the Fremantle-Gold Coast and St Kilda-Greater Western Sydney games, which came from a sample of four games and three games respectively. Correctly, it made plenty of the 50,000-plus who turned out to the redeveloped Adelaide Oval for a South Australian Showdown, though neglected to mention the boost the history-making occasion would have given that figure.
And perhaps not so surprisingly, it didn't mention that Friday night's Essendon-Hawthorn clash at Etihad Stadium and Saturday night's Sydney-Collingwood game at ANZ Stadium had drawn fewer people than any previous meetings at those venues, of which there have been eight and 13 respectively.
Another thing football fans have grown to dislike about the AFL is its incessant spin doctoring. This was one of the more transparent examples we've seen for some time.
But even Iraq's infamous information minister, ''Comical Ali'', would have trouble spinning something positive out of a poor crowd at this Sunday night's Essendon-Carlton game. Because this storm is gathering. And if the league continues to turn a blind eye, it's going to end up horribly drenched.

Artists and craftspeople know that the colors they choose — and leave out — are critical ingredients in their works' success, no matter the medium.
Color done well is captivating. Color done badly? It's just bad. Or drab.
Yet a color tweak may be all it takes to turn up a piece's vibrancy and magic.
An eye for color is both intuitive and learned.
Kaffe Fassett has spent a lifetime experimenting. The septuagenarian is exuberant with color in his embroidery, knitting and fabric designs.
He's known for bold florals, fruits and vegetables, and geometric shapes — in sweaters, knitted coats and needlepoint.
The author of 15 books, his latest, "Kaffe Fassett Quilts: Shots and Stripes," goes minimal with vibrant swaths of color, a simplicity that's a stretch for him.
A Londoner for 40 years who was born and raised in California, Fassett eschews conventional color rules, although he subscribes to a few intuitively.
"I left art school the minute the color wheel came out," he says. "I thought that was the work of the devil."
When Fassett talks about harmony and "bounce," his language is as energetic as his artwork.
"Pick up one color and stick it next to another and see if you get a bounce from it," he says. "Colors can either dampen each other or they can light each other up."
During his quilting workshops, he recommends using myriad shades of the same color to create depth and harmony.
"Whenever possible, you have 10 shades of something rather than just one," says Fassett, who is inspired in part by faded, antique carpets.
Also, stick to a color theme but make it "pop" with little surprises of a different color. That ensures a piece won't become muddy or drab from a color theme's overuse.
In quilting and other textile arts, mix up the fabric patterns — use both large and small prints — to add interest.
Betina Fink, an oil painter for 25 years, teaches art classes — including one about color — at The Drawing Studio in Tucson, Ariz.
Her main advice: Don't use too much color in your artwork.
"It will all start to cancel each other out," she says. "There's more impact in your artwork when you use a limited art palette."
Finally, avoid using white to lighten and black to darken a color, Fink says; each mutes colors.
Instead, lighten and darken color with another that's near it on the color wheel. For example, lighten orange with yellow. Darken orange with red.
This same color advice can be used elsewhere in our lives — when planning a garden, decorating a room or dressing for a night out. Likewise, get color advice from your surroundings.

Isuzu Ascender Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Isuzu Ascender based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with a code P0606 stored. Our technicians tell us updating the powertrain control module (PCM) software will generally correct this concern.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate with codes P0171 and P0172 stored. Our technicians tell us reprogramming the powertrain control module (PCM) and replacing the fuel pump may be necessary to correct this concern.
The transmission may develop a harsh shift condition with the Check Engine Light on and fault code P0717 stored. This is commonly cased by a failed input speed sensor (ISS), located inside the transmission. The wiring at the sensor may be found damaged. If so, the sharp edges near with ISS wiring should be filed smooth to protect the new speed sensor wiring from damage.
The engine cooling fan may fail resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and a possible overheating condition.
One or both catalytic converters may fail resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light. Replacement of the failed catalytic converter will be necessary to correct this condition.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate due to a failure of the secondary air injection system (AIR) system. Possible faults include the air pump, relay, solenoid, and 02 sensor. Our technicians recommend complete system diagnoses before replacing any parts.
The fuel level sensor may fail resulting in erratic reading of the fuel gauge. Sensor replacement is generally required to correct this concern.
The ignition switch may fail resulting in a no start condition. Replacement of the failed switch is necessary to correct this condition.
A no start condition may be caused by a failed ignition lock cylinder (the ignition key will not turn). If this occurs the ignition lock cylinder will require replacement.
A high pitched squeak type noise may be noted from the front axle area. This is commonly caused by a dry axle shaft seal. Grease can be applied to the outside edge of the seal in an attempted to correct the concern. If no change is noted or the noise returns the affected seal should be replaced.
A no crank condition may occur and the IGN E fuse is blown. If this occurs our technicians recommended 3 places to inspect for wiring issues: Under the sill place at the drivers side rear door opening, along the steering column, and near the brake pedal bracket. Damaged wires will require repair and should be repositioned and protected from further damage.
A squeak noise may be noted upon brake apply. If basic brake inspection procedures don't reveal any faults, our technicians recommend flushing the DOT 3 brake fluid and replacing it with Delco Supreme 11 fluid to correct this concern.
The 4WD warning message may be displayed with a code C0327. The transfer case position sensor is commonly at fault and will require replacement.
The horn may not function at times due to a faulty ground circuit in the steering column. Our technicians tell us that adding a ground strap between the upper and lower steering column mounting points will commonly correct this issue.

In 2011, Chicago Bears cornerback D.J. Moore led the team in interceptions, despite playing limited snaps as the nickelback. In fact, during his four years with the Bears, Moore has always been a consistent presence in the slot.
He also likes to talk.
Moore has always been one of the most media-friendly members on the club, always willing to provide a quick quote to a reporter in need. So, when asked about Jay Cutler's sideline push of J'Marcus Webb following the Week 2 contest this year, Moore gave his usual honest answer.
"I don't think you can act like that," he said. "To make it seem like it's just my fault or what not, I think it's just wrong. Honestly, I would feel some kind of way if he was to do me like that, to make it seem like, 'Well, the reason I'm having a bad game is because is what you're doing and not about me taking accountability for myself because I'm throwing these type of passes and doing these type of reads.' It's a tough situation.
CB D.J. Moore
Scott Boehm/Getty
"I didn't know it really happened until I looked on TV, and it kind of made you feel a certain way a little bit. But he is what he is. He's always been that way so I wouldn't expect him to change."
Later that afternoon, Lovie Smith pulled Moore into his office to reprimand him for talking bad about a teammate publicly. Moore then turned around and told a reporter than Smith had just chewed him out. And that was all it took for Moore to land squarely in Smith's doghouse.
Moore averaged 563 snaps per season in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, that number dropped to 368. Things got so bad, he was actually a healthy scratch in four games this year, with Kelvin Hayden taking over as the starting nickelback. In the season finale, Moore played just two snaps.
Had Smith not been fired, it would be safe to assume that Moore, who is set to become a free agent on March 12, would be looking for work elsewhere. Yet Smith is no longer in charge, so that strained relationship shouldn't be a factor going forward.
The fact remains that Moore is a very good NFL nickelback. He has quickness to cover slot receivers, he's tough at the line of scrimmage, he's opportunistic and he's a wiling tackler. On top of that, Pro Football Focus has annually grades him as one of the most effective secondary blitzers in the league.
After Moore was buried on the depth chart, Chicago's overall effectiveness in the secondary dropped off in the second half of 2012. Hayden does not possess the same burst and anticipation, and he was beaten repeatedly out of the slot.
Moore's relationship with Smith may be tough for him to overlook, despite the fact Lovie's no longer with the team. Because of that, he'll likely want to test free agency, where a quality No. 3 corner could receive a nice pay day.
Yet there's no reason the Bears should let him walk. Trestman and GM Phil Emery should do everything they can to convince Moore that Chicago is still his home. Because, when you think about it, Moore did nothing else wrong besides call out the team's selfish quarterback. On the field, he's the picture of consistency, racking up 10 interceptions in three years at nickel. He complements Chicago's two All-Pro cornerbacks, Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings, very well.
If they can re-sign Moore, who is only 25, then cornerback isn't a priority in free agency and the draft, allowing the club to address other, more-pressing needs this offseason.

Biden to participate in Hollings Library dedication
It's official: Vice President Joe Biden will visit the University of South Carolina in July.
Biden will be the keynote speaker at the dedication of the new Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library on July 23. The event will feature a number of dignitaries and elected officials, including Hollings and U.S. Rep. James Clyburn.
Admission to the event is by invitation only.
University President Harris Pastides said university leaders are honored that the vice president will be part of the dedication ceremony.
"We are honored that Vice President Biden has chosen to join us for this very special occasion in the life of our university," Pastides said. "Vice President Biden and Senator Hollings have a long and enduring friendship. His presence and his remarks will be a fitting tribute to Senator Hollings and symbolic for the special collections library as it celebrates the new home for its South Carolina Political Collections."
Hollings and Biden served together in the Senate for 32 years until Hollings' retirement in 2005. During that time, their desks were next to each other on the Senate floor, and the two became close friends. Biden has visited the Palmetto State many times over the years.
The Hollings library, which is connected to the Thomas Cooper Library by a glass-enclosed walkway, was completed in June. In addition to the S.C. Political Collections, the $18 million, 50-000-square-foot facility will house the Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and Digital Collections.

Ludwig H. Bach, president of Spectrum Pension and Compensation,
Inc. in Newburgh, was given the Mount Saint Mary College Community
Service Award and students were recognized for their academic
achievements at a college assembly on August 30.
Bach earned the honor with thanks for his dedicated service to
the college and the greater Newburgh community.
Fr. Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, president of the college, cited
proclamations from the New York State Senate, and certificates of
recognition from Orange County and congress, which saluted Bach for
his accomplishments. Fr. Mackin also applauded Bach's traits
including character, honor, consistency, and enthusiasm.
A former vice chair of Mount Saint Mary College's board of
trustees, Bach has also been active on the board for the Newburgh
Teacher Center, with the Chamber of Commerce, and with the local
fundraiser for Parkinson's disease research. He has also served as
chair for the Mount's annual invitational golf tournaments.
Additionally, he is the founder and managing director of Summit
Actuarial Services, LLC, and a registered representative with the
New York Life Insurance Company, also in Newburgh.
When he received the Community Service Award, Bach addressed the
students, scholarship donors, and faculty.
"I am who I am because of the foundation that I got right here,"
he began, referring to his own experience as a Mount Saint Mary
College student.
Bach advised the students that their lives will be full of many
choices. "I can also assure you that your choice of Mount Saint
Mary College was a great one. What you will learn here will give
you the tools you will need to succeed in life," he said.
"The values and the ethics that you learn here will give you the
ability to avoid being driven by greed, or a personal agenda that
may harm other people," he added. "As gold medalist Olympic swimmer
Missy Franklin said in a recent interview, when asked what she
attributed her success to, she said, 'It was the advice that I got
from my parents. What they told me was work hard, love with all
your heart, and be kind.' "
Bach, a son of German immigrants who emphasized a strong work
ethic coupled with Catholic values, began his academic odyssey at
St. Fidelis in College Point, New York, an elementary school run by
the Dominican Sisters. He then attended Holy Cross High School in
Bayside run by the Brothers of Notre Dame. In 1978, Bach's parents
moved the family to Warwick, NY to supplement his father's
construction worker's income by raising livestock and growing fruit
and vegetables.
After graduating summa cum laude from Mount Saint Mary College
with a business degree in 1982, and gaining job experience, Bach
founded Spectrum Pension and Compensation, Inc. in 1994. Eight
years later, he started Summit Actuarial Services, LLC. Both
businesses provide consulting, administrative, and actuarial
services to sponsors of employee benefit plans. Bach is also a
registered representative with the New York Life Insurance Company.
His offices are located in Newburgh.
After Bach's inspirational speech, more than 70 scholarships
were presented to students preparing for careers including health
professions, science, education, language arts, communications,
history, business, and other fields.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates • Rory McIlroy made five straight birdies down the stretch to overtake Justin Rose and win the Dubai World Championship on Sunday, ending a historic year in which the 23-year-old Northern Irishman won the PGA Championship and the European and PGA tour money titles.
The top-ranked McIlroy recovered from early putting woes to finish at 6-under 66 for a total 23-under 265 at the season-ending tournament. Rose, who was tied for seventh after three rounds, surged down the stretch into contention after shooting a course-record 62 that included an eagle and eight birdies.
"I just wanted to finish the season the way I thought I deserved to finish the season," McIlroy said after holing a birdie on 18 and raising his arms in the air in celebration. "You know, I played so well throughout the year and I didn't want to just let it tail off sort of timidly. I wanted to come here and finish in style."
Second-ranked Luke Donald (71) was tied for third with Charl Schwartzel (68) of South Africa. Louis Oosthuizen (69) was another shot back in fifth.
The day was supposed to be a duel between McIlroy and Donald, who were tied for the lead after the third round. The Englishman grabbed an early two-shot lead when McIlroy bogeyed the first and Donald birdied the second. But then Donald three-putted the third to end a streak of 102 holes on the Earth Course without a bogey to give McIlroy a chance.

Bear told Willie not to forget the anchor as they were getting ready for their weekly fishing trip. "We don't want them big old catfish pulling our boat around and getting us off our spot!"
The "anchor" was an 8-inch concrete block tied to a 40-foot piece of rope. After 30 years of making buildings sturdy and visually appealing, these block masons just couldn't get the business out of their blood, and they kept finding new uses for the main tools of their trade.
Chattahoochee Lake boasted the biggest catfish in the state. Talk of hauling in 20- and 30-pound catfish flew across the local pub. Bear and Willie considered themselves the most knowledgeable jug fishermen in these parts, and they had landed many a good one over the past 30 years.
Competition was about as tough on the water during the monthly catfish rodeos as it was in the workplace. Everybody was always looking for an edge. Bear and Willie thought their favorite fishing hole, a big flat area just 7 feet deep that dropped off into the main channel of the river, was a secret. Today, though, they would see their rival, Jake "Big Hand" Smith, sitting over their spot and hauling in the catfish.
This meant war. They had a big surprise for him in the upcoming tournament. "We'll fix him," Willie said.
The following Monday, Willie told the story to the plant manager at their block supplier.
The manager noted that "Big Hand" had recently bid with prices from the block plant in the next county on a high school job. He said, "I've got a couple of 12s and an anchor line that will slow him down at the blastoff."
The next weekend, no one saw Willie tie the two 12-inch blocks to the back of Jake's boat by attaching a small steel cable to the rings in the back of the boat before the tournament. Although Jake had a souped-up 25-hp engine on his boat, it wouldn't make any difference today. This would give Bear and Willie enough of a head start to beat him to the spot. As they drew for blastoff positions, Jake said, "It don't make no difference what number I get-I'm gonna beat y'all to the best spot anyway. I got the fastest boat on the river!"
After everyone drew their number and lined up, the starter fired his pistol, and everyone took off at their 10-second intervals. When Jake got to his and gave it the gas, the boat stood almost straight up. He sure looked funny grabbing the side of the boat to keep from falling out of it. It didn't take him long to realize he'd been had. He didn't have anything to cut the cables, so he had to raise the "extra anchors" up into the boat and take them with him everywhere he went that day. The added weight slowed him down, and by the time he finally got underway, all the good spots were taken.
The bragging rights at the weigh-in went to Bear and Willie, who caught four fish weighing almost 38 pounds each. The boys at work would be waiting to hear the scoop on Monday morning while they were getting ready to head to their latest job.
They were laying the foundation and walls for the new high school in town. Not only had they outfished Jake, but they also outbid Jake's company for the job.
They didn't get the last laugh this time, though. On the way home from the tournament, Jake had stopped by the yard where Bear and Willie worked and emptied his bottle of skunk oil scent into their pickup truck. They would remember the next few trips to the site for a long, long time.

Pregnancy after using contraceptive pills
I had been using contraceptive pills after I gave birth to my second child, but after several months of using it, I noticed that I'm having irregular menstruation and I bleed lesser than my usual until I hardly had menstruation at all. I stopped using it 3 months ago and had been using condom and withdrawal method as an alternative. My last period was July 10 and now its the last week of August and I still hadn't had my period. Am I possibly be pregnant or is there other serious problem that causes the absence of my period?Please help, I'm not ready for another pregnancy yet.

Dear shie84,
There are many factors that can affect or even stop your monthly periods besides pregnancy including: stress, poor nutrition, some medications and breastfeeding to name just a few. There are also some medical conditions can can cause your periods to change including PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and the premature menopause. However, in light of that fact that your periods had been irregular before the 10th of July it is not likely that the lack of your last period is due to one of these medical conditions.
Did you/ are you breastfeeding? If you are breastfeeding, or have recently been breastfeeding, then your periods may be irregular and some months you may miss a period.
Are you suffering from stress at the moment? How is your general health and diet? Are you underweight?
The withdrawal method has not been found to be reliable at preventing pregnancies as sperm is released before ejaculation. However, condoms are over 99% effective at preventing pregnancies if used correctly.
It may just been that this is a longer period than normal as your body readjusted to coming off the pill.
If you are still concerned, then you could take a home (urine) pregnancy test; these are extremely accurate. However, it does seem very unlikely that you will be pregnant if you have been using condoms every time you have sex and have had changes in your monthly cycle of late anyway.
If your monthly cycle does not return after 3 months of coming off the pill then it would be advisable to see your doctor.
Best wishes,

Hi LJ!
Thanks a lot for this another wonderful advise. I researched about PCOS and it scared me because I have most of the symptoms. I also tried home pregnancy test twice and it was negative. Maybe it's time for me to see a doctor.
Thank you,
19th September 2013 06:04 AM #4
Dear shie84,
Please try not to worry - you have obviously conceived twice successfully and most women with PCOS have problems getting pregnant (as PCOS often stops ovulation). I agree that, as you are still concerned, you should check your symptoms with your doctor. It may just be the pill affecting your periods.
Please do post back and let me know how you get on with your doctor.
Best wishes,

After several years of tentative steps, national green building programs are making strides toward getting their residential guidelines—and their delivery systems—up and running. Just finishing up is the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Homes pilot project, a year-and-a-half-long experiment that involved more than 200 builders and resulted in 31 green-certified homes. Demand for the program is strong. The USGBC currently has applications from builders for 3,100 more homes, about 400 of them multifamily units.
If LEED for Homes targets the top 25 percent of the market, in rigor and program costs, the National Association of Home Builders is aiming for a broad swath of builders. Last year at least a dozen state and local Home Builders Associations launched green building programs based on guidelines NAHB published in 2006, and about 18 more are in the pipeline, according to NAHB green building program manager Emily English. Then there are the building science-based national programs that focus on energy efficiency, such as the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America and Masco Contractor Services' Environments for Living. EFL has certified more than 100,000 homes since its inception in 2001 —most of them for big production builders in the southern United States. Add to those the plethora of other well-run regional efforts too numerous to mention, and you've got an extensive green matrix. Rather than reinvent the wheel, the respective groups have done a lot of protocol-borrowing and consultant-sharing, resulting in a rather complex emerging industry characterized by offshoots, adaptations, and practical alliances. As these disparate green benchmarks start to jell, architects and builders are weighing in on what makes sense, and what doesn't.
green bugsWhile receiving praise for its rigor and marketable cachet, most of the LEED for Homes criticism revolves around its scoring system. One practical problem with a national program is that it's difficult to anticipate the range of circumstances that a rating system should address. But incoming critiques from architects such as Amy Sims, who worked with Ray Kappe, FAIA, to design the first LEED Platinum home, are helping USGBC smooth out the kinks. Sims was the project architect on the model prefab house for LivingHomes, a startup in Santa Monica, Calif. In an odd twist, the fact that the house has no air conditioning—none is needed in the temperate climate—originally meant forfeiting credits attached to an energy-efficient duct system. However, the architects were able to submit a credit-interpretation request explaining that their ventilation measures should still be worth a point. The design team also applied for and received credit for using an alcohol-based fireplace. "We looked into other programs but chose LEED because we felt it was the most comprehensive," Sims says. "There are still bugs in it, but it's helpful as a marketing tool and as a way for us to gauge how green we really are."
LEED's point system is a particularly thorny subject for Peter Pfeiffer, FAIA, a principal of Barley & Pfeiffer Architects, Austin, Texas. Practicing in a city that already has a stellar green building program, he's frustrated with the bureaucratic wrangling required to get LEED credits aligned with local conditions. "Their points don't necessarily relate to what's effective in our climate," he explains. For example, "They give a point for gray water reuse and a point for rainwater harvesting, when rainwater harvesting can provide 10 times the amount of water per dollar spent, and it doesn't smell." Another bone of contention is the ventilation standard. On a recent house, he continues, "We lost points because, in our hot, humid climate, it doesn't make sense to bring in so much fresh air. It just consumes more energy. Whom do I assign in my office to go through and argue these points?"
The program's rigid format has left Pfeiffer skeptical of whether it's destined for use beyond a specialized high-end niche. "It's very complicated to rate a house through LEED," he says. "One has to strive to find that sweet spot between something that's verifiable and authentic and something that's acceptable to the building market; they haven't found it yet. It takes an awful lot of effort and money, and you just have to ask, What is the homeowner getting for this?"
Philosophically, Kevin Pratt, AIA, of Kieran-Timberlake Associates, Philadelphia, also objects to LEED's prescriptive mode and its tendency to "gild the lily" when there would be an economic argument against certain green measures, particularly at the higher certification levels. "Solar panels are still very much not cost-effective in the standard application," he says, "yet a lot of people are putting them on things." Pratt notes that, particularly on big-ticket projects that are candidates for LEED Platinum status, building a thermodynamic model of the house is a better way to fine-tune energy performance than following a checklist.
Lance Hosey, AIA, LEED AP, a director at William McDonough + Partners, Charlottesville, Va., agrees that a checklist format, by its nature, misses the boat. "The point of sustainability is to recognize that what you do in one area has consequences in another area," he says. "When you break requirements into individual components, it's missing that point." For example, the credit for using a rapidly renewable material, like bamboo from China, contradicts the credit for using local resources. And the credit for using local resources says nothing about the material choice. "You could build a house out of solid plutonium, and as long as you get it [from] down the street, it counts," Hosey says. "You could have a LEED Platinum building and virtually every credit you qualify for could be compromised."
Even so, "It's easy to slip into LEED-bashing because there are things about it that are frustrating," he says. "But the huge caveat is that we wouldn't be having this conversation if not for USGBC, because it's raised consciousness almost overnight."
Despite its shortcomings—and perhaps because of its high standards—LEED for Homes does mean something to the general public. "It requires you to be much tighter about your specs, and it guarantees to homeowners that they're getting the right stuff," Pratt says. "But it's only at the high-end custom home-building level that people are willing to pay for it."
USGBC, for its part, is tweaking these issues by, among other things, broadening the range of circumstances in various categories, building in more flexibility for builders to qualify for the program, and adjusting the home size calculator to ease the penalty for large homes. "Because it's a high-bar program for leaders in the industry, we said we'll keep the bar high but give people more opportunities to meet that bar," says Ann Edminster, LEED AP, an architect and USGBC consultant in Pacifica, Calif.
Once there's more mileage on the tires, USGBC expects the verification costs—now averaging upwards of $2,000 per custom home, less for production homes—to go down. Jay Hall, acting program manager of LEED for Homes, attributes some of the high costs to the handholding that LEED providers have had to do with builders, and to the fact that the current scarcity of providers means they often have to travel long distances to jobs. Even so, he estimates that the average LEED-certified house costs $60 more per month over 30 years, including verification costs, while saving 30 percent on energy and water. The net effect, he says, is that the cost of a LEED home is about the same as one that's built only to code.
But whether LEED can improve the environmental score of housing on a grand scale is up for debate. Some argue that, for starters, it makes more sense to get 90 percent of builders to do houses that are 20 percent greener than to get 25 percent of builders to do homes that are 50 percent to 75 percent better. Edminster thinks there's room for everyone. "LEED for Homes may or may not represent more value than a local HBA program, depending on the strength of the local program and how widely recognized it is in the consumer base," she says. "Early on, when we looked at how and why to develop LEED for Homes, we gathered together folks who run those local programs and said we want to do so to fulfill a niche, not to put them out of business. We heard that leading builders would like someplace else to go when they've topped out of the local program. The other piece of that equation is that there are huge areas of the country not serviced by local programs."

Warrick Named Acting CAO
February 1, 2007
Contact: Diane Merriett (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – U.S. General Services Administrator Lurita Doan today announced that Vince Warrick, Associate Administrator for the Office of Performance Improvement (OPI), will begin serving immediately as GSA's Acting Chief Acquisition Officer (CAO).
"We are working hard to successfully implement major performance initiatives throughout all areas of GSA," Administrator Doan said. "The skills, knowledge and energy that Vince has already demonstrated as head of the Office of Performance Improvement give me great confidence in his ability to successfully lead the Office of the CAO."
Mr. Warrick, who joined GSA on Nov. 8, 2006, said, "GSA is the government's premier acquisition agency. I welcome this opportunity to help strengthen our contracting division and, by extension, provide improved service to our federal clients and the American taxpayers."
Mr. Warrick succeeds former CAO Emily Murphy, who has left GSA for the private sector. Murphy served nearly two years as GSA's first CAO.
Mr. Warrick came to GSA from the Harbour Group, one of the most successful operating firms in the nation. Over the past few years, his skills and leadership helped add substantial value to several of its portfolio holdings.
A native of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Mr. Warrick is married with three children. He attended the United States Military Academy and graduated in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He received a master's degree in public administration from Cornell University in 1991.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did you know? GSA's Multiple Award Schedules feature more than 17,500 of the best businesses offering more than 10 million products and services to government, from environmentally friendly cleaning products to sophisticated information technology solutions. Negotiated by GSA for best prices and rapid service, Multiple Award Schedules offer unparalleled value for both users and the American taxpayer.

Number Two Man At State Fair Fired
Scandal again at the New York State Fair. The number two man in charge has been fired.
The Agriculture Department in Albany has confirmed that the second in command, who was just recently hired, has been fired for creating a hostile work environment.
Karl Gustafson started work at the fair just last month and was making a salary of 101 thousand dollars a year. It's believed Gustafson was fired, for among other reasons, making lewd comments at the State Fairgrounds in Geddes.
Agriculture Department spokesman Joe Morrisey told 570 WSYR that the fair has no tolerance for those who create a hostile work environment and Gustafson was fired quickly.
Gustafson was hired in early April to become the assistant fair director and was fired on Wednesday. Gustafson previously worked at the State Canal Corporation, which is where newly hired State Fair Director Tom Ryan also worked before being hired as the new director.

Call routing between CUCM 8.6 and IVR Unity
I've been racking my brains but cannot think of a solution based on my knowledge.
My goal is the following,
A call comes in
a) depending on if the business is open (time of day) the call is hunted first to a phone, if busy or no answer the call is answered by an IVR in the unity system.
b) if the business is closed, the closed greeting is played within unity.
The current setup is as follows
A call comes in to 6000 which is a DN that is call forward all to unity. A call handler with number 6000 is configured to accept the call. If inside business hours the call is then forwarded to a single DN (a phone). If outside business hours the caller is played a we are closed message.
A separate call handler is configured for IVR but on a different number / extension within unity.
The problem I have is the number presented to unity is the original called number and not the number I'm forwarding to.
Unity doesn't say that AFAIK. It's CUCM (specifically the Annunciator service) telling you that what you have dialled can't be reached for some reason.
Check that you can reach the forwarding number (i.e. it's partition is in your CSS) and that the forwarding DN has a CFA CSS that includes the number you are forwarding to etc etc.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A group of parents at Sacred Heart Catholic Church School is continuing the fight against a plan to construct a cellular tower on parish grounds.
They met last week with Mayor Dennis Michael and city planning staff to discuss the matter.
Parents opposed to the Verizon project fear health risks to their children from radiation, but the Federal Communications Act of 1996 prevents the city from denying a cell tower project based on health concerns.
The Diocese of San Bernardino says the tower will emit one-tenth of the maximum radiation permitted by the federal government.
The parents are now arguing that the city should deny the tower, or create legal justification for such a denial, because there is already adequate cellular coverage in the area.
But city planner Tabe Van der Zwaag said the city has no policy allowing a denial based on sufficient cellular coverage.
"The city could deny it, but there's a good chance it could be overturned in court," he said.
Michael said he would sign a letter from the city asking the church to give "serious consideration to having some further dialogue about the issue." He said open conversation could lead to a solution that meets everyone's needs.
The city can deny a cell tower based on aesthetic considerations, Van der Zwaag said. He also said Verizon indicated there is a gap in cellular coverage in the area.
Yesenia Olague, a school parent and opponent of the tower, said the group has presented instances in other cities, such as Burbank, where a tower opposition group found support from the City Council.
The Burbank council denied the project last June because of the height of the tower and noise from an air-conditioning unit running 24 hours a day.
"It was based on aesthetics and compatibility with the neighborhood," said Jesse Brown, a senior planner for Burbank.
Olague said tower opponents also argue that the addition of another cell tower would go against the city's philosophy as a city interested in a sustainability, environmental consciousness and energy efficiency.
"They want to make Rancho Cucamonga a `green' city, and this (denial) would totally help them support that," Olague said.
Michael said the staff will review material presented by tower opponents, including articles about the Burbank tower denial.
"Our staff is looking into what they've asserted and exploring that," he said. "If there's an amendment to development or municipal code, that's going to be a process that takes some time."
Michael also said that if Verizon were to move from the church property, the company could pursue a location nearby.
"If in fact Verizon is very concerned about coverage, and they've got this issue with coverage, there's nothing to say that Verizon couldn't relocate on another adjoining property that is still near the playground of the church," Michael said.
A spokesman for the Diocese of San Bernardino could not be reached for comment on Friday. The spokesman, John Andrews, recently said the church was proceeding with the project for the tower on the southwest portion of the property, which is on Foothill Boulevard, just east of the 15 Freeway.
Andrews said the deal with Verizon would generate revenue for the parish.

Comic-Con Poster....hmmm interesting.
Cover to a bomb shelter or old missile silo?
Good review EmmittnRoy
Thanks man, appreciate your taking the time to read it and the kudos. Love the Mercury av.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. It also looks like a junk yard magnet. Of course the first thing I thought was that it was the Dharma hatch from LOST. haha
It's definitely one of the best shows on tv, and my DVR has been waiting months to record it.
Don't know about this but it's close. BB is closing the gap.
Your review forgot to mention how the cinematography has an aesthetic impact on the show itself. The beautiful Albuquerque sunsets and the city is a character by itself. The underworld of ABQ is a character, and that's why Vince Gilligan chose this amazing city. Give respect next time. Albuquerque is to Breaking Bad like Baltimore is to The Wire.
It is a junk yard magnet.
That's Larry Hankin standing in the middle.
Also know as, this guy:
Yeah I right away recognized Junkyard Joe, but didn't quite realize what the object in the middle was.
Oh and EmmittnRoy I was being half sarcastic in my post about Albuquerque, as Breaking Bad tends to also show the nasty side of this city and I know a lot of people are put off by the horrid stuff in the show. That was a great review and if I had never seen Breaking Bad I would definitely watch it after reading that!
I love the wire but I just dont think its as good as this.
Thats the Junkyard guy,looks like the magnet
I am officially caught up. Holy crap, can't wait for tonight. What an epic finale.
Sounds like Dish people can get it streaming
Let's do this! Best show on television!
Not even 'Game of Thrones' or the zombie fad driven 'The Walking Dead' can top this show.
You guys ready? Im soooo ready for Heisenberg!!
Walt is going to be the new Gus.
Here we go.
I love the foreshadowing opening scenes.
Because I say so
