The latest report carried by Warta Ekonomi, said that the BDNI shares owned by the majority shareholders have been used as collaterals for domestic and overseas loans. The central bank is not likely unware of the practice. Under an agreement when BDNI management was taken over by BPPN, the bank should give its assets as collateral for its liquidity credits from the central bank. But it turned out later that BDNI has put its shares as collateral for loan from other sources. BDNI is one of the largest receivers of liquidity credits from the central bank. Its liquidity credits amount to Rp 27.6 trillion, the largest received by those under the care of BPPN.
BDNI has reported earlier before being audited by international accountants, that it had assets valued at Rp 33.6 trillion with obligation amounting to Rp 32.3 trillion. But after the results of agreed upon due diligence procedures (ADDP) were reported early in April, 1998, the assets were worth only Rp 5.8 trillion and its obligation amounted to Rp 48.2 trillion. This means there was difference in the asset and obligation calculations. The bank assets were marked up by 82% and its obligations were reported 33 % smaller. A question is where the money has been kept by BDNI and why the central bank was that easy to give credit in such big amount.
The collapse that seems to be unavoidable of BDNI would be a bad news for all other subsidiaries of the Gajah Tunggal Group especially those operating in finance business like insurance and leasing. The company group could not be expected to keep its business empire from breaking up. The impact would be extensive affecting its subsidiaries operating in rubber goods industry, chemical industry, orpoerty sector, retail business, PVC pipe industry, cable industry, shrimp breeding industry and sanitary napkin industry. Over expansion in the form of the subsidiaries is believed to be one of the main reasons for the collapse of the bank.
PT Gajah Tunggal, the holding company, also has to deal with its swelling debts. PT Gajah Tunggal, the largest tyre producer in the country, and PT GT Petrochem, one of its subsidiaries, run up a total debt of US$ 1 billion. Sources at PT Gajah Tunggal said that 70% of the debts are hedged and the remaining 30% are naturally hedged as 50% of its sales are in exports. The sources said the debts are not yet due for repayment.
But whatever the reasons, the debt with that amount would carry great risk that could threatened the very existence of the company group. The income of the company group is declining especially in the past two years. It is feared that it would not be able to meet its obligations later with the declining performance.
In mid June 1998, about 4,000 workers of PT Gajah Tunggal were on strike demanding an increase in wages forcing the company to temporarily stopped operation. Earlier Nursalim was abducted reportedly by a group of people seeking to take revenge against him and that Nursalim was finally released after paying US$ 17 million. But other sources said that his abductors were the bank depositors who wanted their money back. At that time BDNI was no longer in position to serve large withdrawal.
The company group has been suspected of being involved in corruption and collusion during the Suharto government. In mid 1991, PT Panen Lestari Indah a subsidiary of the company group, was licensed by the government to open a department store in cooperation with Sogo from Japan although foreign investment was banned from operating in retail business.
Regardless of the alleged collusion, the Gajah Tunggal Group is reeling under the economic crisis. PT GT Kabel Indonesia formerly PT Kabel Metal Indonesia, has been forced to slow down production. The company uses imported basic materials, therefore its production cost is high. The company now operates only to meet order paid in advance. Its main buyers have been PLN and PT Telkom, which have shelved almost all of their projects. Therefore, there is virtually no order received from the two large traditional buyers.
Shrimp business the main hope of the falling empire
The shrimp breeding business under PT Dipasena Citra Darmaja (DCD) and PT Central Pertiwi Bratasena (CPB), is seen as giving some hope of keeping the business empire from falling apart. But the contribution of its shrimp business is feared not enough to shore up the reeling giant. Its main earners have been its finance and tyre industrial companies, which are now beset by a host of problems.
The two shrimp breeding companies have large shrimp breeding ponds in Lampung totaling 50,000 hectares. Lampung is a major producer of shrimp in the country. In 1999, Lampung is projected to produce 180,000 tons of shrimp and PT CPB and PT DCP are expected to account for 165,000 tons and 15,000 tons of the total production respectively.
Gajah Tunggal has built a container terminal and has two container ships each measuring 1,100 tons to handle the exports of its shrimp production. It also has a shrimp feed factory run by PT Bestari Indoprima.
The two shrimp companies are expected to contribute 66% to the country's total production of 250,000 tons in 1999. Exports by Gajah Tunggal in 1997 were valued at Rp 350 billion to Rp 400 billion. That year the sales turnover of the company group totaled Rp 2,225 billion. This means the shrimp sector contributed only about 18% to its total sales.
Starting with small tyre factory
The embryo of the Gajah Tunggal Group was NV Hok Thay Hin, a tyre factory located in North Jakarta. The tyre factory was founded by Tan Kin Soei and Zainal Junaid. The company, which was set up in 1951, started by producing tyres for bicycles and man-powered tricycle. In 1970, the name of the company was change with PT Gajah Tunggal.
In 1972 PT Gajah Tunggal built a factory producing motorcycle tyres. Later in cooperation with Inoue Rubber Co. Ltd from Japan with a license from IRC, it expanded its factory. The company began to dominate the domestic market, with a market share of 70%. In 1980, the company began to produce car tyres and the business flourished and the company soon became one of the largest tyre producers in the country.
The company expansion was more impressive after Samsul Nursalim took over as the company's number one in 1987. The company diversified operation to other sectors. In 1990, it stopped producing bicycle and tricycle tyres but its production capacity for car and motorcycle tyres was increased. Its business in the Financial, electronic, cable, property and other sectors also thrived.
Now the profitable days are over. It is facing a big test to keep its existence among the country's largest conglomerates.

Kremlin critics: Stop ads on pro-Putin TV channel
Monday - 11/19/2012, 7:09am EST
By MANSUR MIROVALEV
Associated Press
MOSCOW (AP) - Russian opposition and human rights groups on Monday urged Western consumer products giants to stop "financing politically motivated persecution" by advertising on a Kremlin-friendly TV network known for its biased coverage of government critics and demonstrations against President Vladimir Putin.
In the wake of unprecedented anti-Putin protests that followed last December's rigged parliament vote and Putin's return to the Kremlin in May, NTV has run dozens of news reports, talk shows and pseudo-documentaries accusing opposition leaders of plotting coups and terrorist attacks, of receiving money from Western governments, and of hiring migrant workers and neo-Nazis to participate in anti-Putin rallies.
The broadcaster has become part of the Kremlin's "machinery for repression," the White Ribbon movement, the Resistance group, the Moscow Civil Forum and the For Human Rights group said Monday.
In a statement directed at companies such as Coca-Cola Co., Procter & Gamble Co., Nestle SA, and L'Oreal International, the four groups said: "Please consider stopping to place your company's advertising on the NTV channel because it is a way of financing politically motivated persecution."
Coca-Cola's Russian office declined to provide contact information for its spokespeople, and a P&G spokeswoman said she needed a written request. The public relations offices of L'Oreal International and Nestle were not immediately available for comment.
NTV reports have prompted several official investigations of opposition leaders and triggered at least two arrests. One of the arrested opposition activists, Leonid Razvozzhayev, claimed Russian prosecutors kidnapped him from neighboring Ukraine and tortured him for several days, forcing him to confess anti-government activities. Russian officials insisted he turned himself in.
NTV coverage also has triggered rallies at the company's Moscow headquarters, as well as tens of thousands of angry tweets and comments on social networking websites. "Shame on NTV" has become a popular protest slogan, and many Kremlin critics refuse to be interviewed by the channel's journalists.
The network was once the shining star of independent Russian television, but after Putin came to power in 2000 he orchestrated its takeover by the state-controlled gas giant Gazprom. In recent months it has been NTV, not the two state television networks, that has broadcast some of the nastiest attacks on the opposition.
In early October, NTV released "Anatomy of a Protest 2," a documentary that showed alleged hidden camera footage suggesting that Left Front leader Sergey Udaltsov met with representatives of an exiled Russian banker to discuss raising $200 million for anti-Putin protests.
The documentary, whose creators were not identified, alleged the money was used to pay hundreds of thousands of leftists and far-right nationalists to march on the Kremlin wearing identical clothes emblazoned with swastikas. It also claimed that Udaltsov conspired with officials from Georgia, a former Soviet republic now allied with the United States, to prepare terrorist attacks across Russia and usurp power in the Baltic exclave of Kalinigrad. An anonymous narrator says, "The plan of action has already been developed, its planners live abroad, and Udaltsov, according to our information, is just one of its executors."
Udaltsov _ a die-hard communist who wore a Josef Stalin T-shirt to his wedding and whose party program calls for nationalizing Russian banks _ called the documentary "filth and lies." The day after the show aired, Russian prosecutors ordered a probe to check its allegations.

For taller scones, dip the cutter into flour each time you use it. The flour will stop the cutter from sticking and squashing down the edges of the dough.
- For the scones, heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8 and lightly flour a baking sheet. Mix the flours, bicarb, chopped dill and 1 tsp fine salt in a large bowl, then rub in the butter until it disappears. Tip in the milk and stir briefly to a sticky dough.
- Scrape the dough onto a floured surface, dust the dough and your hands with more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times to smooth a little. Pat into a 4cm-deep round. Use a 7cm cutter to stamp out scones (see tip, below). Press trimmings together and repeat. Brush with milk, scatter with poppy seeds, then bake for 15-18 mins or until golden and well risen. Cool on a rack. As with all scones, these are best eaten on the day.
- For the pickle, stir sugar into vinegar until dissolved. Halve and deseed the cucumber, slice thickly, then toss with the vinegar, onion and chilli. Leave for at least 15 mins in the fridge. Can be made up to 24 hrs ahead. When ready to serve, tear remaining dill over the relish. Split scones, spread with soft cheese and top with a ribbon of salmon and a little relish.

Hello again. In the first part we have done an introduction to TFS 2010 and installation according to dual-server topology. In this post, we will talk about migrating existing TFS databases into TFS 2010 platform. We shall start!
Firstly, before we are getting into details of importing upgrade, I would like to mention other types of scenarios you might encounter:
So, here we have TFS 2010 that is up and running well and now wants to import content of TFS 2008 server (applies to TFS 2005 as well). One of the biggest differences between 2010 and old version is that 2010 is based on Team Project Collections (TPCs): One collection reflects a single database and may have 0 or more team projects, independent from other TPC.
Picture 1: Arguments of tfsconfig.exe
Data Model in TFS 2010
Databases used by TFS 2010 with some notes
Picture 2: TFS 2010 SQL Database, Tfs_Warehouse
Health Check
After importing it would be wise to re-run Best Practice Analyzer, just you do before importing process. To do so,
Picture 3: TFS 2010 Best Practices Analyzer running
In this second part, we have executed a scenario of importing TFS 2005/2008 databases into TFS 2010 Server by using tfsconfig command. Hope you liked it.

Decoupaged Canister Set
By: Debbie Saenz for Plaid Mod Podge
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
These canisters were purchased at the thrift store for $3 and given a new life by decoupaging them with fabulous paper. Spray paint completes the trash into treasure redo.
- Wooden canisters
- Mod Podge Matte
- Scrapbook paper, 3 to 4 sheets – I used the Basic Grey Ambrosia Collection
- Orange spray paint
- Ceramic knobs, 3
- Gray ink pad
- Cosmetic wedge
- Epoxy
- Sandpaper
- Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer – Gloss (optional)
- Remove any original embellishments from canisters. Sand smooth.
- Trace your containers onto the backs of the scrapbook paper and cut out. Set these pieces aside.
- Spray the top of each canister with orange spray paint.
- Use scrapbook paper to cover the entire base of each canister, adhering with Mod Podge while smoothing out any air bubbles with your hands. Allow to dry.
- Use sandpaper to sand off excess paper until smooth; sand downward in one direction to prevent the paper from lifting or tearing.
- Use the cosmetic wedge and dab onto the gray ink pad, then distress the edges of each canister until desired look is achieved.
- Apply two coats of Mod Podge to each canister. When applying the coats, go in one direction then the other and let dry 15 – 20 minutes between coats. Allow to dry between coats.
- Attach knobs to each canister lid with epoxy.
- If desired, seal canisters with Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer.

Kamagra soft fruit chews, 100mg tablets X4
Kamagra soft fruit chews (Sildenafil 100mg) are the generic equivalent of Viagra, for the treatment of male impotence. Because they do not carry the brand name Viagra, however, they represent a far more cost effective alternative.
They are manufactured by the reputable and FDA approved pharmaceutical giant, Ajanta Pharma, who are based in Asia.
The treatment is suitable for most people with the exception of those who take or plan to or plan to take Nitrate based medications. See the list below or consult your GP if you are unsure about medicine you may already be taking. Medical consultation is always advised.
Users taking the following should not take Kamagra 100 mg tablets. This list is not comprehensive. Nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, nitroprusside (any "nitric oxide donor" medicines), cimetidine, erythromycin, azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole), mibefradil, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin) or high blood pressure medicines. Also the use of poppers (Amyl Nitrate, Amyl Butrate etc) is dangerous whilst using Kamagra 100mg tablets.

There are a lot of easy ways to engage your students with or without tech. I have used cooperative learning with my students. I'd be happy to assist you with getting started on that. Additionally, try integrating what your students are studying with other subjects.
There are also some great resources for flipping your classroom depending on your resources.
I recommend you check the resources listed below:
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Feel free to check out our SSChat Ning (sschat.ning.com) or the wiki (edutopia-socialstudies.wikispaces.com)
Maybe if you'd like you could tell me one particular area where you want to energize a lesson or a unit. I could share what I have done or refer you to someone who excels in that area. Ron's references above are all excellent too. Sounds like what you really needs is to discuss what is possible.
Shawn McCusker (@ShawnMcCusker on Twitter)
I have found that project based learning is very effective at engaging students and enabling them to make a connection with history. I also really enjoy enabling the students to collaborate and engage in creative endeavors. My students not only enjoy project based learning, but I have found that there is greater retention of the concepts as they dig deeper in the subject matter. However, each year I struggle with time management in balancing the unit content requirements with the need to conduct authentic engaging activities which take a considerable amount of time. I teach a one year U.S. history course and we cover Pre-Columbian America to the Present--quite a time span. While my units are organized along thematic lines, I really struggle to cover the many important concepts. I would appreciate any thoughts or comments regarding balancing depth with breadth.
I've been researching educational gaming and how they can help make subject matter content relevant to today's students. It's a difficult proposition to take even well-made history-related videogames, such as Civilization, and make the learning both relevant and transferable outside of the game context.
However, I think that one game genre that may be able to make learning relevant and transferable is educational alternate reality games (see http://www.giantmice.com/features/arg-quickstart/ if you are not familiar with ARGs for a quick primer). In ARGs, students play as themselves (not as a fictitious game character), so the overall learning experience is more meaningful to them. Educational ARGs can be made for practically any subject matter, esp. social studies/history because of all the rich stories that make up the content.
I'm currently running a trial of a new social studies ARG about Japanese American history during World War II. I'm testing the game as research for a future course I'm designing.
If you or anyone (high school age and above) is interested in participating (no lurkers please), I welcome you to please visit the following page for details: http://www.shoyu.com/arg/v02/default.asp or email me at email@example.com. I'll be taking new signups for the rest of this week. Thanks!

DevonAgent Pro 3.0 released, new plug-ins added
updated 02:00 am EDT, Thu July 21, 2011
Full Devon lineup now Lion compatible
Devon Technologies has renamed their internet search agent program to DevonAgent Pro to further distinguish it from the Express and Lite editions, and updated it to version 3.0 following several betas. The new version is compatible with OS X 10.7 Lion, and supports 64-bit mode for better memory management on machines with large amounts of RAM. The company have added three new plug-ins, and made a host of minor improvements.
DevonAgent Pro uses plug-ins and algorithms to dramatically improve search results over what a user might get from a simple Google search, particularly by scouring specialized databases such as those of the new plug-ins, which bring results from JSTOR, the SEC and Lexis Web. All of the standard plug-ins have been updated or rewritten, and now support authentication.
The thumbnail gallery has been improved, along with compatibility changes to the MultiMedia and Code scanners. Enhanced workspace handling has been brought over from DevonThink, which also adds better "See Also" results, news feed handling and a more reliable full-screen mode. Compared to version 2, the new v3 also offers a plug-in assistant for creating new plug-ins, saved searches, Cover Flow views, an improved web browser with bookmark management, a better archiving process and an overhauled user interface and support assistant.
Customers who purchased DevonAgent after January 1st, 2009 are eligible to upgrade to the new version for free. Older licenses can be upgraded for either $40 (from version 1) or $25 (v2). The program sells for $50 and will soon be available via the Mac App Store. The program requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later and can be test-driven for free up to 60 non-continuous hours before needing to be licensed.

Port to get more wind turbines
Shipment from a second firm will arrive Thursday
The Port of Corpus Christi is becoming the premier port for wind energy equipment, port Chairman Ruben Bonilla said.
The port awaits Thursday's arrival of the first ship carrying wind turbine equipment for Vestas Group, a Dutch company known as the world's largest supplier of wind power systems. Vestas is the second company in less than a year to send equipment to the port before sending it via trucks and rail throughout the state.
The port has unloaded more than 20 vessels of equipment for Siemens Power Generation Inc. since November. Siemens ships equipment to Central and West Texas via the ports of Duluth, Minn.; Longview, Wash.; Houston; and Beaumont. The Corpus Christi port was chosen to replace the two other Texas ports because of its convenience.
Vestas is expected to ship 21 turbines in June and July, said John Valls, the port's marketing manager. The first shipment of tower sections will arrive onboard the Nassau Borg with more vessels to arrive each 10 to 12 days for the next 12 months, said Michael Perez, the port's director of business development.
"We hear a lot of rhetoric about alternative energy but (the port) is doing something about it," Bonilla said.
"We're also becoming the energy capital in America. We have 5 percent of the petrochemical refineries and we also have the coal degasification plant from Tondu Corporation. We have a diverse energy portfolio and this will help drive energy costs in the long run."
LaRue expects the same kind of activity that Siemens has produced for the port and he doesn't anticipate any congestion from dealing with two companies. The Siemens deal brought in about $225,000 in revenue.
Commissioners approved a tariff hike on Tuesday on wind energy equipment from $1.90 a ton to $2.70 a ton. Officials from Vestas' U.S. office did not immediately return calls on Tuesday.
The Vestas deal is expected to generate $1 million if the port receives the amount of cargo it anticipates, Perez said. Three other wind energy equipment companies are interested in doing business with the port and officials plan to make improvements to lots on the north side of the harbor to accommodate more business, he added.
According to Vestas' Web site, the company has more than 30,000 wind turbines generating electricity around the globe. Vestas was established in 1898 as Smith Hansen and has 13,018 employees worldwide.

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) March 25, 2014
The Tour de Bier KC, Kansas City's original beer bike ride, is pitting non-profit against non-profit in a competition for who can run the best stops at this year's ride. Bicyclists will vote for their favorite rest stop, and the People's Choice Winner will receive $2,000.
"As a young non-profit advocacy group, we see the value in supporting our community," says Eric Rogers, Executive Director of BikeWalKKC, which organizes the event. "We work to make Kansas City a healthier, more active place to live on a daily basis, but there is so much more change that needs to happen in KC. We want to be as supportive to other groups in the community as they are to us."
The Tour de Bier KC has 15, 30, and 60 mile route options and includes stops at Boulevard Brewery, Big Rip Brewery, McCoy's, Martin City Brewing Company, and a new stop at KC Bier Company in Waldo. Riders will visit 3 to 7 rest stops, depending on the route chosen. Any non-profit organization based in the Kansas City metro area is eligible to apply to host a rest stop at one of the breweries along the route.
"Our breweries will have the beer covered at each rest stop," Rogers says. "The non-profits will provide the food and the flair."
Proceeds from the event benefit BikeWalkKC, the region's cycling and pedestrian advocacy group. BikeWalkKC is expecting 1,000 riders this year, and their goal is to raise $50,000 for their educational and outreach activities. Area non-profits are encouraged to contact Eric Vaughan at firstname.lastname@example.com if they are interested in hosting a rest stop and entering the competition. Visit TourdeBierKC.com for more information about this year's ride.

Ugandan Red Colobus Monkey
April 22, 2013
A Ugandan red colobus monkey (Procolobus rufomitratus) eating nonnative eucalyptus grandis bark in Kibale National Park. This plant food was one of three staple foods of the red colobus that was found to have estrogenic activity. Consumption of estrogenic plants was found to be related to altered hormone levels (estradiol and cortisol) and behavior (grooming, aggression and mating) in adult males during an 11-month field study. The study, led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, is the first to observe a connection between plant-based estrogenic compounds, or phytoestrogens, and behavior in wild primates, and could shed light on the role of diet in human evolution. "It's one of the first studies done in a natural setting providing evidence that plant chemicals can directly affect a wild primate's physiology and behavior by acting on the endocrine system," said Michael Wasserman, lead author of the study. "By altering hormone levels and social behaviors important to reproduction and health, plants may have played a large role in the evolution of primate--including human--biology in ways that have been underappreciated." The research was supported by a National Science Foundatoin Gradate Research Fellowship, which assisted with the field research costs, and a Doctoral Dissertation and Improvement grant (BCS 08-23651), which supported the hormone analyses.(Date of Image:July 2007) Credit: Julie Kearney Wasserman

Lesbian 'Kiss' On 'Dr. Who' Stirs Complaints And Arouses Support
U.K. communications regulator Ofcom has received six complaints following a lesbian kiss on Doctor Who, reports Gay Star News.
The complaints came after a scene in which Madame Vastra helps to keep her wife Jenny alive in response to a threat from droids that only move when they can sense breath.
One tweet suggested that "the BBC wants to become a porn channel," while another said that "the Lizard/Lesbian kiss was 'unnecessary.'"
However, while some viewers were upset at the thought of two women kissing before the 9pm watershed, the majority of tweets were overwhelmingly positive.
@toddlerlex pointed out that "some parents are okay with their kids watching Dr Who's organ stealing robots & impaled body…Lesbian kiss? Complain to Ofcom! Ridic."
It has also been noted by various commenters that the "lesbian kiss" was essentially CPR and was actually an inter-species kiss.
It's OK that they can be wives, but not OK that they can kiss. And, of course, it's OK they are of different species. WTF?

So i am reading that the premier episode brought in around 5 plus million viewers world wide ... and the they got 6 complaints ... the horror of it all ...
Posted by: Dale | Aug 27, 2014 9:29:37 AM
Six complaints, that's literally NOTHING.
Frankly, nobody but a couple of internet trolls even batted an eyelid.

Lesbian/Lizard sex is so hot! What about Avatar where they use their ponytails for sex and to control their flying things. Also hot, but not as hot as lesbian/lizard sex.

Well the BBC has been down this road before. Remember the HOOOOOTTTTT kiss between the "two Capt. Jacks" on Torchwood.
Google it.

I think Steven Moffat highly approves of lesbian sex.
Posted by: anon | Aug 27, 2014 11:08:26 AM
Well, SIX complaints to the BBC the first few days after broadcasting to a multi-million audience.
Sorry, but THERE IS NO FUSS AT ALL about this.

In case you wanted to know how bad homophobia is in America, a woman kissed a lizard on television and all we care about is the fact that it is a female lizard.
Posted by: Matthew | Aug 27, 2014 1:14:22 PM
And how many complained when Captain Jack kissed the doctor?
Posted by: Andrew | Aug 27, 2014 7:09:06 PM
Weird thing is though, it wasn't a kiss. Jenny couldn't hold her breath to evade a certain type of android that hunted by viewing respiration. Vastra could store extra oxygen in her lungs and was literally giving Jenny air so she could survive.

Eye on the Illini
Nov. 20, 2012
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- University of Illinois head coach Jim Heffernan announced the signing of three student-athletes, including two top-five national recruits, to National Letters of Intent on Tuesday. Brooks Black of Blair Academy, N.J., Isaiah Martinez of Lemoore, Calif., and Kyle Langenderfer of Mokena, Ill., will join the Illini program in the fall of 2013. Martinez is the No. 3 overall recruit in the class of 2013 according to The Open Mat, Black is No. 5 and Langenderfer is an Illinois state champion.
"The three guys we signed will have a huge impact on our program in the near future," Heffernan said. "Both Brooks and Isaiah are proven on the national scene and have the ability to be very special. Kyle is extremely athletic and super competitive. Associate head coach Mark Perry and assistant coach Jeremy Hunter worked extremely hard in signing two of the top five overall recruits in the country and that is a big deal for Illinois Wrestling. All have desire, drive, mentality and ability to help us compete for championships down the road. Adding this class to an already young and energetic group is really exciting for our program."
Black, is a three-time Fila Cadet National Champion, two-time Walsh Ironman Champion, and a two-time Beast of the East Champion. He was also a NHSCA National Champion and was a two-time New Jersey state champion. He is the No. 5 overall recruit nationally and will wrestle heavyweight at Illinois.
"I fell in love with Illinois," Black said. "The team is great and the coaches are awesome. The expectations are to win multiple NCAA titles".
"It has been a pleasure to coach Brooks Black," former Blair Academy head coach said. "He has significant growth as an athlete as he is extremely committed to the sport. He trains hard as he is passionate to be the best he can be. He has a tremendous desire to do well as he is an accomplished wrestler and has a burning desire to excel this year as well as in college. He is excited about his opportunity to study and train at Illinois and feels comfortable with the coaches."
Martinez, from Lemoore High School, was the 2012 Junior Freestyle National Champion as well as the Flowrestling National Champion. This year, he was also crowned the Super 32 Champion. The No. 3 recruit in the country was a two-time state champion and was a three-time state placewinner. The Lemoore, Calif., native will wrestle 157 or 165 for the Illini next season.
"I want to win an NCAA championship all four years," Martinez said. "I look forward to being in a room where everyone wants to win a national title. Not only individually but also as a team. I also look forward to being around people who dedicate their whole lives to the sport like I do. I want to help the team win national titles."
"Isaiah Martinez is not only an awesome wrestler, but he is a great leader," Lemoore high school head coach Marcio Botelho said. "He is a positive role model for wrestlers of all ages. Isaiah exhibits the heart and work ethic of a champion. I know without a doubt he will continue to win championships along his journey."
Langenderfer will also join the squad, as he was the 2011 Illinois state champion. He also placed second and sixth in the state championships. The Mokena, Ill., native's current high school career record is 122-14.
"I'm really excited about singing with Illinois," Langenderfer said. "I can't wait to start my wrestling career at this great university."
"Kyle will be a great addition to the Illini wrestling team," Lincoln Way East high school coach Tyrone Byrd said. "It has been an honor and joy to coach him the past four years and I look forward to watching him develop the next few years under the guidance of coach Heffernan. It is always exciting to send one of your wrestlers to a Division I Big Ten school, but even more special when it's your alma mater."
"Our staff is very excited about what we have been able to accomplish in the last 18 months of recruiting," Perry said. "We have signed nine of the top 100 recruits and five of the top 12 overall recruits in the past two recruiting seasons. With all of these young talented kids on the team, there is no doubt we will be a force to reckon with for years to come. Our expectations are to win individual and NCAA titles. With the core group that we have put together and the standard that each individual holds themselves to, we are going to be hard to beat in the future."
2013-14 Incoming Wrestlers

RIPON – Once the tempo reached warp speed the Escalon High boys basketball team had no idea Ripon High was prepared to keep pace, as the Indians found the up-tempo pace rewarding in a 67-52 Trans Valley League win Tuesday.
LATHROP - Lathrop High nearly made history Tuesday but couldn't pick up the school's first Valley Oak League varsity girls basketball victory in a 44-41 loss to rival Sierra.
SALIDA – The Ripon Christian varsity boys basketball team together a fight it can be proud of, but still came up on the short end of a 66-54 Trans Valley League contest against Modesto Christian Tuesday.
For the second time this Valley Oak League season the Sierra High sophomore boys basketball team gave the East Union Lancers a defeat in its 51-47 win over the Lancers Tuesday.
The parity in the Valley Oak League has made for an exciting season for boys and girls basketball, but it also has several teams scrapping for postseason berths according to the first release of the Sac-Joaquin Section's playoff power ratings.
It's all about control for East Union High's girls basketball team these days.
TURLOCK - East Union High's varsity wrestling team brought just four competitors at Pitman High's 5th Annual Rumble in the Jungle Saturday, but all four produced noteworthy results.
CERES - A loss at Central Valley would have been disastrous to the East Union boys basketball team's postseason hopes, and they were a few big plays, from emerging junior Robert Vaughn, away from letting that happen.
Alison Telles scored 16 of her 21 points to highlight East Union's 50-28 sophomore girls basketball victory at rival Sierra Monday.
LATHROP – By the time Lathrop High's girls varsity basketball team found a handle on its Valley Oak League contest with Oakdale High, the Mustangs were in the midst of an 18-2 run and easily on their way to a 51-28 win over the Spartans Saturday.
HANFORD – A handful of area wrestlers made their way south to compete in the California Girls Wrestling Invitational at Hanford West High just outside of Fresno. The tournament is the final tune-up for the Sac-Joaquin Women's Masters Tournament taking place Feb. 5-6 in Stockton.
RIPON – Ripon High piqued the crowds' anxiety to maximum heights when Andy Bunting pulled the Indians to within three on a layup after a steal with 1:23 remaining, but that would be as close as crosstown host Ripon Christian would have it in its 52-47 Trans Valley League Friday.
A telling statistical category for Sierra High's boys basketball team this season is points allowed.
SONORA - Sonora torched undersized East Union in the post in its 81-67 win on Jan. 6.

Leo Soto doesn't have the luxury of a Gold Glove-winning shortstop or the most efficient defense in Sierra High history behind him.
The fun is about to start for Manteca High's girls soccer team.
The East Union High Lancers opened Valley Oak League play with a heartbreaking 8-7 loss against the Mustangs on Wednesday.

The issue of what to do with electronic waste is a vital question in the modern world. The increase in the use of technology such as cell phones, smartphones, LCD TV's and related items is creating a very troubling situation regarding what to do with this waste. There are issues of recycling, pre-cycling and toxic products created with these processes. This issue is made exacerbated by developing shortages for certain metals used in electronics. Answering these questions is very important for the future.
There are a large number of metals and products used in constructing different electronic devices. It includes metals and non-metals such as cadmium, mercury, americium, cobalt, gallium, germanium, tantalum and vanadium. The devices also use fiberglass, epoxy resins, polyvinyl chloride and thermosetting plastics. Many of these substances are very toxic. The list of hazardous chemicals includes brominated flame retardant substances which are used to help prevent large fires from developing. There is also a lot of lead in electronics because it is the standard solder used for joining components. The recycling of these products after they are used also creates a lot toxic chemicals which may leech into the environment. Although, Cen Cal Ewaste offers electronics recycling in Turlock and the surrounding areas.
The world creates a lot of waste related to electronics. There are many names used for these products such as e-waste, e-scrap, but they all come under the heading of WEEE. WEEE stands for waste electrical and electronic equipment. The United States produces about three million tons per year, but the global amount is somewhere close to fifty million tons. This is a lot of waste and most of it goes into landfills where the toxic substances can leach out and contaminate drinking water. This is a dangerous situation and governments world-wide are trying to figure out a better way to deal with these products. However, a lot of the waste is simply shipped to countries who are not interested in safe disposal. Countries such as China, Indian and several countries in the continent of Africa.
The problem with electronic waste is that it's hard to separate the substances so they can be effectively recycled. The reason for this is that the manufacturing process makes extremely small units which are hard to process. An important aspect of dealing with these devices is to change the design idea to incorporate plans for recycling after the lifetime of the device. These methods would include modules which are easy to repair or replace, the use of degradable plastics for cases and development of joining techniques which don't rely on toxic elements such as lead. In addition, many of the elements inside electronics are either hard to find or hard to process. This means that by throwing away so much electronic waste we endanger our future ability to have these devices. China, for example, recently places an extreme limit on many of these substances.
To have a secure and technological future we need to develop better means to deal with these issues.
