Comments about EZ Route Radius 12 Loop Unit:
I'm very pleased. I cut them apart & riveted them back together with the banana's facing oposite directions since the tubing was going to either side of the wall it was positioned on. I didn't use nails as recommeded, I zip-tied it to some rebar & floor wire and it's looking good. Individual elbows may have been cheaper for me but probably would've taken more time to get to look as organized.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Usually use 3/4" pvc conduit sweep 90 to stub lines up out of concrete. Seen these and gave them a try. They work really well simple to mount to wood or concrete, they have little dimples in the ends of each bend to screw through. You can cut them apart with a utility knife to make the right amount of citutis and use whats left on the next job. It also spaces pipes to fit to manifold properly. Definitely a time saver and neater job
Great product, saves time and money
By toolman
from Red Bluff, CA
I used this to install 8 runs of PexAlPex that totaled ~ 1900 ft. It resulted in a clean installation, allowed the runs to be easily organized and was much easier than using 3/4 inch PVC sweeps. It fit well and easy to attach and use. The instructions were clear even for a first time user. I would definitely buy again.

Syrian security forces shot dead at least 34 demonstrators in Hama on Friday, an activist said, in one of the bloodiest incidents in their crackdown on an 11-week-old revolt against President Bashar Assad's rule.
In a pattern seen every Friday since mid-March, protesters have marched out of mosques after noon prayers, to be met by security forces intent on crushing a revolt against Assad, in power in Syria for the last 11 years.
Three residents said security forces and snipers fired at tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered in the city centre in one of the biggest protests seen so far in Hama, and scores of wounded were taken to a nearby hospital.

I remember the first time someone asked me how far along I was and I immediately turned to Adi with a panicked look on my face. Can you really tell already? Yes, hunny, you can tell. But, what if I'm just bloated or had an extra burger for lunch? I mean, how could they know?! Seems like a risky question if you ask me. To which my ever so sweet husband replied, you don't look bloated, you look pregnant. Enter glare.
Truth is, I thought I could get away with no one knowing until I was at least 6 months. I naively thought I could wear flowy tops and avoid the stares, belly rubs, and the realization that life was going to drastically change forever in just a few short months. I thought I could buy a little more time where life was just as it was before and the only thing I needed to worry about was my business, what was for dinner, and what will happen to Christina's marriage on Grey's Anatomy. I wanted to put away thoughts of strollers, cribs, diapers, sleeping schedules, pacifier theories, and the endless birthing plan opinions until I had no other choice but to face those scary things. Scary, not because I wasn't excited about our little baby, but scary because the idea of one choice affecting a life so much was terrifying to me. I was (and still am) scared that I wouldn't be a good mother. I was scared of failing, of not having prepared enough, of the baby not loving me back, of choosing the wrong bottle. Good Lord, the fears are endless and at times, ridiculous. But our darling little jellybean doesn't seem to care much about my fears and continues to grow and amaze us each and every day. This little bean has been happily kicking, flipping, and softly reminding us that in less than four months, we will be parents… ready or not. And can I just be completely honest in saying I know we won't be ready. I know there will be 10 other books I should have read and plans I should have made. But I also know that all the information in the world couldn't possibly prepare us for the immense love and protection we will feel. Through a few of the panicked tears I've allowed myself to shed, our baby has nudged me reminding me of how utterly in love I already am and just how okay we'll all be.
Over the past two weeks, I've welcomed the stares, advice, and have been loving the belly rubs. Really, if you see me in public and you read my blog, rub away. Baby bean loves it. ;) I've welcomed questions that I have no answers for. I've come to accept that there is no right or wrong way and that through all the fears, and all the endless to-do lists, we're happier than ever. Terrified, yes, but over the moon, cup is spilling over, happy. I've made peace with Adi's theory which is very scientific and brilliant in nature. He thinks that we'll have a good year or two to make mistakes before our child figures out that we're pretty clueless. Oh, and by then, Dr. Google will have trained us pretty well. Oh, how I love my baby daddy.
Life has been busier than ever, and though I've looovvvedd being pregnant (hello glowy skin, healthy hair, and stronger nails), I've had a hard time remembering to take photos. Crazy, I know. Here are a few recents… Happy Tuesday to you!

Laurel Canyon is a neighborhood located in the Hollywood Hills region of Los Angeles, California.
Laurel Canyon is focused on its central thoroughfare, Laurel Canyon Boulevard. However, unlike other nearby canyon neighborhoods, Laurel Canyon has houses lining one side of the main street most of the way up to Mulholland Drive. There are many side roads that branch off the main canyon, but most are not through streets, reinforcing the self-contained nature of the neighborhood. Some of the main side streets are Mount Olympus, Kirkwood, Wonderland Avenue, Willow Glen, and Lookout Mountain Avenue. The zip code for a portion of the neighborhood is 90046.[citation needed]
Laurel Canyon Boulevard is an important North-South route between West Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, specifically Studio City. The division between the two can roughly be defined by the intersection of Laurel Canyon and Mulholland Drive. In early 2005, the first section of the road on the Hollywood side was partially washed away in a heavy rainstorm, and traffic was redirected to a normally quiet residential side street.[citation needed]
The Laurel Canyon area was inhabited by the local Tongva tribe of Native Californians before the arrival of the Spanish. A spring-fed stream that flowed year-round provided water. It was that water that attracted Mexican ranchers who established sheep grazing on the hillsides in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. After the Mexican government was ejected, the area caught the attention of Anglo settlers interested in water rights. Around the turn of the 20th century, the area was subdivided and marketed as mountain vacation properties.[citation needed]
Between 1912 and 1918, a trackless electric trolley bus ran up the canyon from Sunset Boulevard to the base of Lookout Mountain Road where a road house served visitors. Travel to the newly subdivided lots and cabins further up the canyon was at first made on foot or by mule. As the roads were improved access was possible by automobile.[citation needed]
Around 1920, a local developer built the Lookout Mountain Inn at the summit of Lookout Mountain and Sunset Plaza roads, which burned just a few years after opening.[citation needed]
Among the famous places in Laurel Canyon are the log cabin house once owned by silent film star Tom Mix that later became home to the Zappa clan,[1] and another (directly across the street) that magician Harry Houdini may have lived in.[citation needed]
Laurel Canyon found itself a nexus of counterculture activity and attitudes in the 1960s, becoming famous as home to many of L.A.'s rock musicians, such as Frank Zappa; Jim Morrison of The Doors; The Byrds; Buffalo Springfield; and Love. Joni Mitchell, living in the home in the Canyon that was immortalized in the song, "Our House", written by her then-lover Graham Nash, would use the area and its denizens as inspiration for her third album, Ladies of the Canyon. Crosby, Stills, and Nash first met each other in her living room.[2]
John Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas took inspiration from their home in Laurel Canyon in the song Twelve Thirty a.k.a. Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon), released in 1967.
In 1968, John Mayall recorded and released Blues from Laurel Canyon based on his experiences on a vacation earlier that year. There are references to Frank Zappa, Canned Heat and famous groupie, Catherine James.

When Procedures Fail
Learning the lesson the hard way
It seems then that the key to safety is to give ourselves plenty of margin for error. Then if we do err, we'll still be on the conservative side of the power curve. Because air show professionals need to fly low for the spectators, our safety margins are even more critical. We pay special attention to preflights, FOD and preventative maintenance.
At air shows, I like to get my airplane ready early so I can chill and think about my flight. During my preflight, I naturally fasten the cowl after checking the engine, and I check the oil and make sure my fuel caps are secure. Then, I can relax and watch the winds and the sky until it's my turn in the box.
As much as we try to eliminate it, risk is always lurking around the corner and is part of the game. One year at the Dayton Air Show, the "normal risk coefficient" gave me a wake-up call. The Dayton Air Show is famous for being one of the biggest and best shows in the country, and to perform there is an honor. As I was diving into the box for my opening maneuver, I saw 100,000 people, their eyes turned to the sky, waiting to be awed by my display of aerial magnificence. As I pushed the stick forward for a knife-edge spin, my Extra 230 growled with intention as the airspeed indicator edged toward red line. At 220 knots, I pulled the stick back into a hard 9 G pull to the vertical and the Extra went straight up. As it ran out of airspeed, I checked my altitude and had plenty of air between me and the ground to continue.
Pivoting out of a hammerhead entry, I stuffed each of the controls into the right corner—aileron, elevator and rudder—and the airplane wrapped up. It knife-edge spun once, twice, three then four rotations. I looked for the ground, and then pulled back on the stick for my next maneuver. As I started leveling off, something didn't feel right. Instead of a slippery monoplane, I felt like I was flying a biplane, all wings and wires, lots of drag and not enough power. More importantly, I didn't have enough airspeed for my next maneuver and my oil temp gauge indicated higher than normal.
I thought—What the heck, over? But the problem was right in front of me. The left side of the hinged metal engine cowl was open and bending backward, shuddering and completely disturbing the airflow. I thought it was going to break and slam into my canopy or possibly my elevator—or both. I broke off the routine, immediately reduced power and leveled off, hoping the cowl would stay on the airplane until I landed. I then radioed the Air Boss to tell him I had a little "problem" and needed to land. So much for aerial magnificence. I successfully embarrassed myself in front of 100,000 spectators!
What happened, and why did my sacred procedures fail? The easy answer was I got distracted. Shortly before I flew, a local TV station asked me for an interview. They suggested I unbutton my cowl, close only two of the five fasteners, and then turn to the camera and say, "Welcome to the Dayton Air Show!" Happy to oblige, I smiled, did as they asked, and promptly forgot the other three fasteners as I jumped in my airplane and taxied out to the runway.

Housing and Residence Education
Living on campus is an important element of the Gardner-Webb University experience. As such, Housing and Residence Education strives to foster an environment that encourages academic success, personal growth and spiritual development. Gardner-Webb University sets high community and academic standards, which challenge students to invest in their education. Challenge and support within a Christian environment encourages students to make educated decisions, be reflective of their experience and mindful of their impact on others. The Housing and Residence Education Department aims to make each residential facility a place where students interact with a variety of people in a comfortable and safe environment. The Housing and Residence Education Department will intentionally encourage students to learn more about whom they are and the life skills that will provide a base for a successful future.
Housing & Residence Education endorses the use of Energy Star rated appliances such as MicroFridge. This is a special refrigerator/freezer and microwave oven combination appliance that is available to Gardner-Webb University students through Standards for Living. See their website to learn more about how you may rent or purchase a MicroFridge and have it delivered to your room just prior to your arrival on campus in the fall.
Important Announcement!
Housing and Residence Education is in the process of implementing new software, Adirondack Solutions' The Housing Director (THD) Housing Management Software Solution, that will assist the University in streamlining its online housing application and room selection processes for new and continuing students. Implementation is in progress with hopes of THD going live in April 2015. Until this time, newly admitted students will continue to submit housing applications for Fall 2015 via use of the current application portal. This application information will be transitioned to THD in the near future.
Please Don't Snore will no longer be used for roommate matching of new students for Fall 2015. New students will be asked to log into the new housing portal after THD goes live to participate in the new student roommate selection process and new student assignment process.
More Information will be shared as Housing and Residence Education nears the go-live date of THD. Your patience and understanding is appreciated. If you require additional information, please contact Housing and Residence Education at 704-406-4300 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Moneydance can easily manage your diverse portfolio. It can direct connect to more than 100 financial institutions. It works across platforms, imports stock quotes and encrypts your financial files. This Mac financial software provides useful insights into your finances through interactive reports and transaction-sorting tools. This TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award winning financial software can easily manage your income, expenses, budgets, stock holdings, interest bearing and charging accounts, and long-term investments.
This financial software has a free iPhone/iPad app that can synchronize wirelessly with the desktop version to keep your registers up to date. Moneydance includes numerous automatic functions such as direct connect, automatic assignment of transactions to categories, scheduled stock quote imports and scheduled payments. This is the only financial software we reviewed that can login to your online accounts and submit payments.
The Infinite Kind, the creators and distributers of this software, have created a comprehensive financial product that is highly compatible with banks, other software and online services. They even offer a Linux version. However, The Infinite Kind provides limited tech support. You will not see a support telephone number on the website; however, we contacted the company by email and received a response within a few days. You can also contact them on Twitter.
Using Moneydance, you can import transactions from your online accounts, enter them manually or add them with your iPhone. Transaction fields include date, tax date, check number, description, memo, category, tags, amount, rate, foreign amount and balance. You can track confirmed and unconfirmed balances, as well as cleared and uncleared checks. The software can manage split transactions, transfers and memorized transactions.
You can assign categories and tags to transactions. Categories help you organize budget categories such as home, auto, entertainment or utilities. Tags can help you further define the transactions with labels such as mortgage, car repair, Netflix or water bill. All transaction fields, categories and tags can be used to sort transactions. You can even assign tags to tax-related transactions to help you organize your tax-related expenses and income. Moneydance will automatically assign categories to imported transactions. It does not have the ability to store files such as a scanned receipt with a transaction, however.
This budgeting software for Mac has a full suite of budgeting tools that include calculators, reports, status graphs and warnings. Moneydance has a unique tool that can calculate a budget based on past expenses. So, for example, if you have three transactions of your gas bill recorded in the software, it will use those amounts to estimate a suitable gas bill budget. This extremely useful tool can help prevent you from under budgeting.
When creating a new budget, you simply name the budget and add the amount, category, interval and start/end dates. This software supports a range of intervals. For example, you can set your restaurant budget to weekly, your mortgage to monthly and your car registration to yearly. You can also use this tool to automatically enter your salary weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and so on.
Budget reports display the budget amount, category, interval, start/end dates and amount spent. The budget status bar shows the amount spent and a colored status bar depicting that amount as a percentage of the total budget. Expenses within the budget display green, while over-budget expenses are red and on-budget expenses are yellow. The software's home screen also shows you a budget overview. You can customize the budget bars. For example, you can have the software display the warning color yellow when you have spent 80 percent of your grocery budget.
Using the OFX online banking protocol, Moneydance can direct connect to financial institutions such as Bank of America, Citibank, Fidelity Bank, Wells Fargo and others. It can also pull data from investment financial groups such as Vanguard, ING Direct, Merrill Lynch and TD Ameritrade. Moneydance can also import data from a long list of credit unions. To secure your passwords, you can enable Moneydance to encrypt your data to keep it secure.
This is one of the only Mac personal finance solutions that can direct connect to your online accounts to pay your bills. To do this, you simply create a payee account with account numbers and other relevant information. You then can instruct Moneydance to connect and submit your payment on command or set it to make a future payment. This financial software can also manage payment reminders and will create a calendar for you with payment dates noted. Moneydance can also print checks using preprinted check stock.
Moneydance can track accounts, stocks, mutual funds and bonds, and can direct connect and download current stock quotes from Yahoo, Yahoo UK and Google Finance. You can set the software to retrieve stock quotes and exchange rates as often as daily. You can customize the quotes and exchange rates to include historic prices, current security prices and to display only stocks you own. Investment reports include stock performance, investment transactions, net worth, asset allocation and portfolio.
The portfolio view displays details about a single investment account. It will display the price, number of shares, cost bases, percent of change and current value. It also provides a pie chart display with the asset as a percentage of total assets. You can sort the report by date and view the register. If the investment account includes multiple types of securities (stock, bonds, CDs), the graph shows the distribution of value across the different types of securities. The register can track the date, tax date and the type of action, such as buy, sell, short, cover, dividend reinvest and transfers. Keep in mind that even though this type of software can direct connect to banks and download data from trading accounts, it is not intended to monitor high-volume quick trades like those conducted by day traders.

ttaining Critical Mass with Java EE

Come to the meeting tonight. I will be talking about Java EE 6. I have been
digging deep as possible. I think many will find some of the simplicity with
Java EE 6 appealing. Context Dependency Injection and Persistence Units make
making an application a whole lot easier.
I will show both Netbeans, Eclipse for tooling. And then for application
servers, we will look at JBoss and Glassfish. JBoss 7.1 is now Java EE 6
compliant. JBoss 7.1 starts so fast your eyes will spin.
And, we will look at Maven. This topic could be a whole presentation by
I have been digging around with EJB. I have some samples with JBoss. I have
an interesting thing to show them using them remotely, but I also have had
issues with building EAR files which creates a library of interfaces for
use with remote execution.

How to Add Someone to Your Credit Card
Credit card holders sometimes come to a point where it's convenient to allow a close family member or friend use their credit card. There are two ways to add someone to an account. One is by making a person an authorized user, and the other is making that person a joint account holder. Both methods involve pros and cons. It's important to know the effects in addition to how to add someone to your credit card.
1Distinguish between authorized users and joint account holders. Authorized users can use your credit card, but have no financial liability in repaying that debt. Joint account holders have their own card and assume equal liability in repaying a debt.Ad
2Explore why you want to add someone to your credit card account, which can better help you decide how to add them. For example, if you want your child to run errands for you, you'll probably want to add them in a different way than you'd add someone who needs help establishing credit.
3Contact your credit card company to add someone to your credit card as an authorized user or a joint account holder. For either, you need to provide the full name, birthdate, social security number, and address of the individual.Ad
We could really use your help!

- To help someone with poor credit improve their credit, co-sign(and assume liability) for a card, or suggest that person get a secured card where they will deposit a set amount into the account for a specific length of time.
- Ask the lender what their policy is for reporting on authorized users to ensure that you are comfortable with the policy.
- Select an established credit card where you have good credit history when adding someone to your credit card or you may risk an increase in APR.
- Beware of authorized users ruining your credit history and report. If you choose to add someone as an authorized user, monitor the account closely.

NBA Betting: Basketball Stock Market Report for 2/11/13
- Updated: February 11, 2013
Basketball teams go like the stock market. Sometimes they're hot and you have to buy them, and sometimes they're cold and you have to sell. Our NBA betting tips show the teams that you should hold and the teams you should ditch here at Bang the Book!
Stock Up
Boston Celtics: It was only two weeks ago that the Celtics were the worst ATS team in the game at 14-26-3 ATS. They lost G Rajon Rondo for the year, and shortly thereafter, they were without F Jared Sullinger for the campaign as well. Now, with trade rumors swirling about, the C's have rolled off seven straight wins both SU and ATS to get back in control of their playoff fate in the Eastern Conference. This is a team to watch, as it might have made GM Danny Ainge believe that it is a team that should be buying, as opposed to one that should be selling at the trade deadline.
Washington Wizards: The Wiz are the only team in the Eastern Conference to roll off 30 covers thus far on the season, and it hasn't come on accident. Sure, the team is getting some help along the way, but since G John Wall has been back playing a meaningful role in the lineup, the club has been unstoppable for bettors. Now, Washington has three SU victories in a row, too. Playing like this, the playoffs might not be all that farfetched either… OK, we're not set to go quite that far yet, but it's good to see the Wiz on a roll.
Memphis Grizzlies: We know that it's only two games, but we think that the post-Rudy Gay trade shock has worn off of the Grizz, and they are back to their winning ways. They have locked down both the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors in back to back games, and they are now a whopping 17-10-1 ATS at home this year. Teams just don't score against this outfit, and now that Gay is gone and the swingmen are starting to get more involved in the team defense and the defense-first philosophy, we do think that this is a team that you should be buying stock in at the moment.
Phoenix Suns: This team is progressively getting worse and worse as the season wears on, and it is painful to watch happen. Phoenix just hit a real low point in its two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder over the weekend. The team was beaten 127-96 on Friday, and it turned around and lost 97-69 at home on Sunday. Now, it's off on the road through the West Coast for the next three, and we can't help but wonder if there are a lot more ATS (and SU) defeats on the horizon.
Milwaukee Bucks: In fairness to the Bucks, they've had to play through their share of injuries over the course of the last few weeks. However, they can't excuse the way that they have just fallen right through the cracks in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Milwaukee is on life support right now having lost five out of six SU and all six games from an ATS standpoint. This is the team that most needs the All-Star Break right now in the entire league.
Brooklyn Nets: Here's another team that really isn't doing well at the moment. The Nets, just two nights after getting hammered on the road by the Wizards by 15 points, were destroyed by the San Antonio Spurs by 25 at home. The only wins this team has from an ATS perspective since January 23rd came against the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons. The last time Brooklyn covered against a team that is probably going to be in the playoffs this year was the New York Knicks way back on January 21st, and since that point, the team is 1-5 SU and 0-6 ATS against teams that will even remotely threaten the .500 mark on the campaign.

I've been looking for something like this for years! I can finally play my old games the way o want. It just needs some time to get used to the loads of features but it works like a charm ;)
The DxWnd project is a very nice supplement to older PC games. Most PC games in the past didn't have a play in window option. I began using it and I was... HOOKED... just like the application has been designed to do. It's nice to see someone continuing the project to help make multitasking while gaming much easier. So, thanks gho! It still leaves room for improvement but doesn't everything? =D Good Day - All!
This is a wonderful program that makes old games playable on Windows 8.1 and on. Thanks so much for your hard work!
Does exactly what it's described to do: Making older programs and games work in windowed mode and sometimes even enables them to work at all on modern machines! gho is also really active in the forums.
DxWnd is amazing, without it I wouldn't even bother going back to revisit older games. It's a little daunting at first to setup because of the vast amount of options, but gho (the developer) is super helpful, just make a post about your game and he'll help you set the thing up, or he'll just fix DxWnd to work with your game. 6/5 Stars.

Swedish studio PJADAD kick food photography up a gear for new campaign
We know what you're thinking. We often do. You're thinking "I'm bored of food photography. I've seen it soooooo much recently. Change the record already." (See?Uncanny!) But you may not have seen food photography quite like this courtesy of small Stockholm-based creative agency Petter Johansson Art Direction And Design (PJADAD). As part of an ongoing collaboration with Atelier Food, PJADAD worked with photographer Henrik Petersson to create these really fantastic visuals focussed around an intricately constructed "food city"which perked us up no end. Take that jaded cynicism! There's also some strong branding work for the same client and a big campaign for IKEA to enjoy as well.

A 150-foot wide asteroid is expected to pass closely by Earth on Friday, and though it will be difficult to see in skies over the U.S., the fly-by will be broadcast online.
Backyard astronomers on the other side of the world will be able to see the asteroid, known as 2012 DA14, as the object makes its closest pass by Earth. But by the time it comes into view over Baltimore's skies, it will have moved far enough away that it will be tougher to see.

I'm not sure I agree that the above assertion is necessarily true.
In particular, Powerpoint provides a lot of snazzy animation-oriented
features that you or I could probably care less about, but that many
sales teams, etc. could not leave without.
OTOH, Powerpoint obviously does not provide good maths support, and does
not provide a good model for converting content to presentation (as Norm
points out). So it really depends where your values are at. But in
general, I would not consider your inequality to be accurate.
Technically, I believe PDF does support snazzy animations, through the
use of embedded JavaScript, so you could embed the appropriate PDF
information into pdfLaTeX-specific documents, with a lot of effort.
Alternatively (and much better), someone could write a tool that does
this for you, which would probably make
LateX + Prosper + ??? >> Powerpoint
(double angle brackets being, "much greater than").

In general, I heartily agree with this. However, I am noticing a trend
in GUI-based Linux apps to depart from this most excellent philosophy.
I also really think Mac OS X developers should get into this idea.
One of my favorite pipeline examples, though it is now fairly obsolete,
is the one that the Dragon Book claims to have been typeset with. I
don't have the book with me at the moment, but it was something on the
order of
pic doc-source | tbl | troff
The convention was to embed code in the "pic" and "tbl" languages into
the source troff document. running pic on the troff source would replace
the embedded "pic" statements with corresponding troff code, outputting
the rest as-is. tbl did the same thing with "tbl" code, and then troff
would typeset the results. BTW, TeX users who are not aware of pic
should give it a look; it's a rather ingeneous, though fairly basic,
language for describing technical illustrations in text format.

I sure wish they could post a photo as the description is throwing me a bit--2 years old, 2 1/2 ft. tall and 100 LBS? I'm certainly not trying to be mean and pray that this little one is found safe, but could that me a misprint? They also didn't give very much information--who was he last seen with or by? Who was supposed to be watching this poor little guy?
I know that toddlers have a tendency to wonder so that's even more reason to watch them, especially on the beach. Prayers that he is found safe!

FINALLY, a picture of the little guy! There is no way he's 100 lbs.
Baby Eric still missing
The search continues at this hour for a missing two-year-old boy who was last seen at a family party at Tanguisson Beach on Saturday afternoon. On land and at sea, the search for the missing toddler has been extensive.
And after searching through the night, crews were still at it this morning in hopes of finding the missing Yapese toddler. Guam Police Department spokesman Officer Allan Guzman told KUAM News, "It's very difficult at this time. We've been searching throughout the night and we're working with the fire department to do a very, very extensive search through the jungle, the beach area and even in the waters."

Coast Guard pulls child's body from waters off Cabras
The U.S. Coast Guard located a child's body in the waters off Guam. Coast Guard Lieutenant Lee Putnam tells KUAM around 12 noon, the Coast Guard Cutter Assateague found the body of a child 1.8 nautical miles North of Cabras Island. Lt. Putnam says the crew found the body of a male child while on patrol for another mission. He confirms the area was not part of the search pattern for the missing child reported at Tanguisson Beach.
The search meanwhile continued earlier today, both on land and sea, for 2 year old Eric Tithium Wazthuth who was last seen on Saturday evening at Tanguisson during a party. GPD Spokesperson Officer Allan Guzman said the search was looking more and more like a recovery. Until an autopsy is conducted, officials cannot confirm the identity of the body pulled from the waters today.

Bad news.
Autopsy confirms body is missing boy
Missing since Saturday, the search for two-year-old Eric Waztuth ended today, after the U.S. Coast Guard found the body of a toddler in the waters north of Cabras this afternoon after an autopsy was conducted it was determined to be that of the missing boy.
RIP sweet child

Just use double sticky tape instead of the head-strap and off you go to scare your grandmother and video-tape her while she freaks out.
Smaller than a golf ball, this ultralight spherical video camera attaches to a headband, providing a third eye while biking, hiking, or during other activities. The camera's sensor captures images at 320 x 240 resolution at 30 fps (the built-in microphone records audio). Up to 1,200 still images and six hours of video can be saved onto the included 8GB micro SD memory card. Images and video are downloaded to your PC via a USB cable (requires PC running Windows with USB 2.0).
It can also be connected to a TV for viewing images and video using the included cable. The rechargeable battery provides up to 2 1/2 hours of continuous operation from an eight-hour charge using the included USB cable. The camera can also be set to record images and video when it detects movement, preserving battery life.

Now they just need to make the battery last long enough to fill that 8GB memory card. If I'm going on a three hour bike ride there really is no option out there to record the whole trip. As far as battery life goes.

Recent legislation has changed the way diagnostic assessments (reading, mathematics and writing) are administered and scored. For the first time, districts/community schools will report the results of each student's diagnostic assessments. The new Third Grade Reading Guarantee will change when and which reading diagnostic assessments are administered.
The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) created this Diagnostic document to help administrators navigate these changes. This guidance document outlines the minimum requirements of the revised law. Districts/community schools are encouraged to do whatever is necessary above and beyond the law's minimum requirements to ensure their students are performing at grade level.
This guidance document will review details for the reading, mathematics and writing diagnostic assessments.

|Houston (13-1)
|Penn State (9-4)
Game Recap
by Brian Hilderbrand for www.ticketcitybowl.com
Penn State (9-4) cut the Cougars' lead to 17-7 midway through the second quarter on a 21-yard scoring run by Stephfon Green, but Houston answered with the 75-yard scoring pass and took a 24-7 lead into halftime.
Houston increased its lead to 27-7 on a 38-yard Hogan field goal with 4:21 remaining in the third quarter before Penn State closed to 27-14 two minutes later on a 69-yard scoring pass from quarterback Rob Bolden to Justin Brown.
Houston made it 30-14 on Hogan's third field goal of the game, a 22-yarder just 8 seconds into the fourth quarter – the only scoring in the period.
The victory served as a point of vindication for Houston, which was coming off a 49-28 loss to Southern Miss in the Conference USA championship game that ruined the Cougars' perfect season.
"Our kids wanted to go out against a really, really tremendous opponent in a January bowl game on a national stage and show the country that our loss a month ago in the championship game was not the norm," Houston head coach Tony Levine said. That (loss) was a fluke, not the 12 wins leading up to it."
57.1% of CollegeFootballPoll.com voters picked Houston to win and the Congrove Computer Rankings at CollegeFootballPoll.com forecasted an 8.36-point victory for the Cougars.

Experts: Borneo in urgent need of protection
Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com
May 23, 2007
Wednesday the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC), the world's largest scientific organization devoted to the study and sustainable use of tropical ecosystems, passed a formal resolution in support of immediate conservation action on the island.
"The situation in Borneo is bad—and getting worse," said ATBC past-president William Laurance, of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. "I don't use words like crisis' lightly, but that's exactly what's happening there."

Borneo conservation news
"The Heart of Borneo initiative is a big step in the right direction, and we endorse it in concept," said Laurance. "But we believe it doesn't go far enough to prevent large-scale species extinctions—at least in its present form."
"The biggest problem is that lowland forests, which have been largely devastated, and those on nutrient-poor soils are not well-represented in the Heart of Borneo program," said ATBC member Peter Ashton of Harvard University, who has spent nearly a half-century working in Borneo. "The lowland forests are the biologically richest in Borneo and contain many, many locally endemic plant and animal species, found nowhere else in the world."
"Many species of Bornean birds and mammals move up and down elevational gradients and among different lowland habitats in order to find enough fruit and other food," explained Rhett Harrison, secretary of the ATBC Chapter in Asia. "The Heart of Borneo needs to be expanded wherever possible to include more lowland and coastal forests, to help support these many migratory species."
Laurance adds that though well-intentioned, the Heart of Borneo program will fall short of conserving Borneo's forests and biodiversity.
"We endorse the Heart of Borneo and praise Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei for their wisdom and crucial support, but it's vital that everyone realize this alone can't save Borneo's biodiversity. The Bornean nations and international community must also work to expand and defend protected areas, control rampant overhunting and forest destruction, and develop more sustainable forest-uses across the island."
Since 1980 Borneo's forests have been reduced by more than one-third, mostly as the result of industrial logging, which later fueled large-scale fires (especially severe in the el Nino years of 1982-1983 and 1997-1998) and land conversion for oil palm plantations. WWF projects that by 2020 less than one third of Borneo's forest cover will remain, mostly in the central highlands of the island, while the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says that 98 percent of organutan habitat will disappear by 2022. Presently about two-thirds of Borneo's most biodiverse ecosystems, the lowland Dipterocarp forests, have been lost.

WHEREAS, these forests store globally significant amounts of carbon in both their vegetation and soils; and
WHEREAS, Bornean forests provide homes, food, and other natural products to a large number of local peoples; and
WHEREAS, these forests are experiencing one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world (recently over 3.9% per annum) via poor timber-harvesting practices, conversion to plantations or agriculture, fires, and other threatening processes; and
WHEREAS, hunting and the international trade in wildlife products, in concert with vastly increased physical accessibility to forests via expanding road and logging networks, is having a devastating impact on many Bornean wildlife species, particularly larger vertebrates such as the Sumatran Rhino, primates such as the Orang Utan and Bornean Gibbon, and many birds including several hornbill species, pheasants, and raptors; and
WHEREAS, many of these declining species have important functional impacts on forest ecosystems as predators, herbivores, seed dispersers, and plant pollinators; and
WHEREAS, many compelling reasons exist for the protection of megareserves' in the tropics, including maintaining viable populations of species that are vulnerable to hunting, forest fragmentation, and edge effects; reducing disturbance by fires; and providing the diverse range of habitats required by wildlife species that migrate seasonally along major elevational gradients or that move large distances in response to large, infrequent flowering and fruiting events; and
WHEREAS, the largest surviving tracts of undisturbed forest in South-East Asia occur in the Bornean transborder highlands of Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia; and
WHEREAS, the landmark declaration to support the Heart of Borneo' initiative by the governments of Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, signed on 12 February 2007, will create important mechanisms to establish a network of protected areas and land under sustainable management totalling 240,000 km2; and
WHEREAS, forests protected by the Heart of Borneo initiative, as presently described, are largely concentrated in upland and montane areas; and
WHEREAS, the biodiversity of plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, and other species in Borneo has a remarkably complex geographical distribution, and is often concentrated in poorly protected lowland forests, in areas with unusual geologies and soil types, and in vulnerable coastal ecosystems;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation, the world's largest scientific organization devoted to the study, protection, and sustainable use of tropical ecosystems:
- APPLAUDS the Governments of Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia (hereafter the transboundary nations') for their pioneering decision to sign and support the Heart of Borneo declaration; and
- RECOGNIZES the leading role that nongovernmental organizations have played in promoting the critical Heart of Borneo initiative and in assisting the transboundary nations in its conceptualization, design, and implementation; and
- URGES the transboundary nations to recognize that the Heart of Borneo initiative, while of enormous importance, will not be sufficient in and of itself to protect Bornean biodiversity; and
- IMPLORES the transboundary nations to establish further protected areas in Borneo, especially in rapidly vanishing lowland forests and coastal ecosystems, either as part of the Heart of Borneo program or as separate initiatives; and
- IMPLORES the transboundary nations to improve biodiversity conservation in Bornean production forests, and to ensure that such forests are not simply converted to agricultural land-uses such as oil-palm plantations after logging.
- URGES the transboundary nations to improve the protection of their existing protected areas, especially for surviving reserves in lowland forests and other imperilled forest types, from illegal hunting, logging, encroachment, and wildlife trade; and
- URGES the international community, private sector, nongovernmental organizations, international aid agencies, scientific organizations, and government partners to provide direly needed financial and technical support for the crucial Heart of Borneo program and for related conservation initiatives to help protect the rapidly vanishing ecosystems and biodiversity of Borneo.
