(AP) -- The Agriculture Department says the nation's winter wheat crop will be 2 percent larger than they had anticipated a month ago.
The National Agricultural Statistic Service's July crop production report pegged the anticipated U.S. winter wheat crop at 1.52 billion bushels.
Even with the more generous outlook, the wheat harvest is expected to be down 18 percent from last year.
The agency's latest report comes as harvest winds down in Kansas and picks up in Nebraska.
Yields were better than expected just a month ago in Kansas.
The government latest forecast estimates the Kansas wheat crop at 360.8 million bushels.
That compares with 356 million bushels cut last year in Kansas.

When Karin at Art is Beauty came across this old dresser at Goodwill, it was really cheap due to it's battered condition. She loved the baskets that came with it though, so decided to see what some sanding and a coat of paint could do for it.
Turns out, a little paint can go a long way with some things! The sage green paint color Karin chose with the natural wicker basket drawers, and it's an added bonus that so many of Karin's craft supplies fit inside the roomy baskets.

Detail from The Alchemist, Mattheus van Helmont. Eddleman Collection, CHF Collections.
July 11, 2011 | Mike Wronski
While settling into my new job at CHF and leaving to my wife the daunting task of selling our house in Massachusetts, I am living a Spartan, bachelor existence. In my Old City sublet you will find no television, stereo, or computer; in my free time I wander weathered cobblestones and read books about chemistry.
The view from my apartment covers Independence Park, historical markers, and old cemeteries. The buildings and streets, soft with faded advertisements, speak of other times and other inhabitants. In all this dreamlike history my science reading delivers a dose of reality. What could be more real than the atoms that make up all the stuff I see and touch and smell?
I've sought out books that combine the molecules and the monuments, fascinated by both. The first is Napoleon's Buttons: How 17 Molecules Changed History, by Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson. The title of this delightful book relates to one theory about the demise of the French army as it invaded Russia during the winter of 1812. Apparently, the tin buttons on the French uniforms disintegrated in the cold weather (a phenomenon called "tin pest"), and the unfortunate army was literally caught in battle with their pants down. Each chapter of the book describes the development and evolution of a molecule which, the (chemist) authors convincingly put forth, changed the world. From tin to the taste sensation piperene, the book manages to make molecules writ large.
Another enjoyable read is Uncle Tungsten: Memories of a Chemical Boyhood, by Oliver Sacks. In this autobiography Dr. Sacks, the well-known neuroscientist, RadioLab guest, and author of classics like The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, charmingly describes his boyish enthusiasm for chemistry and the periodic table while growing up in wartime London. Sacks' parents were physicians and his uncles operated factories that manufactured tungsten filaments for light bulbs. Their passion for this durable metal inspired their young nephew to learn more about the elements and the fascinating, often explosive results when certain compounds were mixed together. CHF is a favorite stopping point for Dr. Sacks when he is in the area. Reading this book, you can see why.
Disconnecting from the digital world has been a semi-scientific experiment of sorts; I've found it to be very energizing. If you are interested in reading and wandering this summer I've listed a few other suggestions from the history of chemistry below. We hope to see you back at Periodic Tabloid, of course – let us know the experiment goes.
Mike Wronski is CHF's new Director of Individual Giving. Other books on his summer reading list include:

This follow-up post to getting started will delve deeper into overcoming your fear of applying for credit cards. The first steps are:
- Obtaining your credit score for free from CreditSesame.com
- Getting a copy of your credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com (free as well)
Some of your intimidation may stem from the more experienced applicants relaying stories of applying for 8-10 cards every 90 days. I'm guilty of bragging those big winners up as well. But in all reality, we all began with our first credit card application and in most cases it was one and only one that first time around.
Once you know your credit score, and hopefully it is over 700, why not start with just one application. The minimum spending you need on that card can be as little as a first purchase. I typically get a cup of coffee from Java Joe's with my new US Airways Barclays card and in doing so, earn two free domestic tickets. It is indeed that simple. Two of you can fly on a domestic coach itinerary and get your feet wet with this whole idea of using your credit. A success here will hopefully give you the confidence to continue earning free travel. Your credit score will drop somewhere between two and five points and only temporarily. That's it. That will be the extent of the change in your life, except of course now having enough frequent flyer miles for two domestic tickets in your US Airways account. Oh yeah, you can use those miles to fly domestically on United too (no extra fees either)
Don't be intimidated by the big shots doing multiple applications all on one day. If you get one credit card with no first year fee and earn two round trip tickets for buying a cup of coffee, you'll see how easy this is. And, oh by the way, you must then pay that $3-$5 credit card bill when it comes due. For two free tickets, I think you can remember that and in the long run you will have actually improved your credit file.
And if you are still afraid and have more questions, email me and I'll give you confidential answers. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask and get answered, to send you on the way to free travel. And, I'll never ask you for your last name, address, social security number or any other personal information. Just your credit score and information about what cards you have, and what your travel goals are. You can even make up a dummy email address to write me. What have you got to lose?

Nielsen: $99 iPhone "completely changes" industry
The iPhone 3G's price drop to $99 is a large enough move that it could overhaul the entire cellphone industry, according to research by Nielsen.

Any cellphone over $49 is "kneecapped" and will look like either it costs too much to make or that the carrier is asking too high a price, Entner says.

More seriously the company is accused of skipping the standard Q&A, which lets WWDC attendees interact with both presenters and Apple engineers.
iPhone apps: Air Sharing Pro, DukeMobile, KCRW Radio
Air Sharing Pro ($10) allows users to access, view, e-mail, print, store and manage documents on an iPhone or iPod touch. Users can wirelessly connect their handheld devices to a computer as an external drive and use drag and drop to transfer documents. The software is also able to open common files including Microsoft Office and iWork documents. Furthermore, Air Sharing Pro features support for ZIP files allowing users to archive multiple files and email them as one attachment.
Altec Lansing ships Backbeat Pro headphones
Altec Lansing today expanded into more serious in-ear listening with its Backbeat Pro in-canal earphones. The set uses neoprene ear tips and dual flanges for a close fit to a wearer's ear in order to isolate it from ambient noise. Each earpiece has a single armature but is characterized as balanced rather than emphasizing bass.
Dell teases likely Inspiron Mini 11 in Paris
Dell at a Parisian event today briefly showed a mystery notebook likely to be the company's first based on Intel's Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) initative. Without naming the model or detailing its features, Phil Bryant and Michael Tatelman of the company told Engadget and observers that it's part of an "entirely new model line" of thin notebooks. No release information has been given and echoes the Adamo teaser at CES, which preceded an actual launch by months.
Carriers testifying on excess SMS fees
A US Senate committee today has started taking testimony today from representatives of major carriers over concerns of climbing text messaging rates. The questioning of AT&T, Cricket and Verizon officials follows recent concerns raised by Senator Herb Kohl that the carriers may be colluding on price hikes for SMS even though the actual cost of delivering each message remains the same or is decreasing due to economies of scale. Most major cellphone services have often increased their rates within short succession of each other and rarely if ever drop prices.
Clearwire launches 4G network in Atlanta
Clearwire on Tuesday officially released its 4G WiMAX wireless broadband network in Atlanta, making it the largest city in the US to offer the service. The service, CLEAR, is available to about three million people in a 1,200-square mile area, offering users DSL-like cable speeds wherever they are, wirelessly. Running on a WiMAX radio system from Motorola, the service is said to deliver realistic download speeds between 4 and 6Mbps, with burst speeds greater than 15Mbps. In comparison, existing 3G networks provide download speeds between 1 and 1.7Mbps.
Kindle format support to expand outward, inward
Plans are underway to spread the Kindle format, and open up access to the dedicated hardware, says Amazon's CEO. Speaking at a Wired conference, Jeff Bezos has explained that Kindle books should continue to sell for $10 as they go on sale through the iPhone plus "other mobile devices and other computing devices." A Kindle app is already available for the iPhone, though purchases must currently be made via the web.
Opera Unite lets users share files via browser
Opera on Tuesday unveiled its Opera Unite service that breaks with tradition by allowing users to share files with other computer users via their web browsers and not a third-party server. Ease-of-use is being touted as an advantage of the new software, and Opera expects even devices with modern web browsers, such as smartphones, will also be able to access the files. As Opera Unite services are based on current open web standards, creating a full web service is said to be as easy as coding a web page.
Dev Team planning to demo iPhone 3.0 unlock
The unofficial iPhone Dev Team, best known for its yellowsn0w hack, has announced plans to demonstrate a new unlock for the iPhone 3.0 firmware. Although public downloads of iPhone 3.0 are only scheduled to open on June 17th, a live feed of the unlocking demo is expected sometime later on the 16th. Interested viewers must follow MuscleNerd through Twitter to learn the time and URL for the presentation.
Olympus: Micro Four Thirds with EVF enroute
The E-P1 will be supplemented by more distinct Micro Four Thirds models and with more professional features, Olympus product planning manager Akira Watanabe said in the wake of the new camera launch today. He explains to DPReview that the E-P1 is just the first in a larger range and that at least one future model will have an electronic viewfinder, much as Panasonic's Lumix G1 and GH1 have now. More lenses should also come in tow and may include more prime lenses beyond the new 17mm f2.8.
Apps: Combine PDFs, ZenTask, iWeb Backup Pro
Combine PDFs 4.3 ($30) is a utility that allows users to merge PDF files and images into one PDF file. Users can also split a PDF file or create a new PDF file with interleaved pages from two different PDF files. Version 4.3 includes two new menu commands, one for reordering pages for duplex 2 on 1 page book printing, and the other for removing blank pages. The update also includes German and French localizations and improves the softwares memory usage. [Download - 5MB]
Optus leaks new iPhone 3G, 3GS plans
Australian carrier Optus has let slip the details of new iPhone subscription options, meant to coincide with the release of the 3GS, a leak claims. The carrier's "yes" cap plans should now range from $19 to $79 a month, and by default provide between 100MB and 1GB of data; missing is a $29 option, which will come sometime after launch if at all. Varying payments may be necessary based on the choice of iPhone model, and the length of a contract, spanning one to two years.
Garmin-ASUS to drop custom Linux for Android
Garmin-ASUS at CommunicAsia on Tuesday said that its decision to launch Android phones next year will mark the end of the partnership's custom Linux variant. The nuvifone G60 will now be both the first and last phone to run the in-house OS and all future nuvifones will either use Android or else, like the M20, Windows Mobile. Reasons for the switch haven't been explained to CNET but likely center on both the true smartphone-level feature set as well as the reduced work of using an existing OS rather than developing from scratch.
Western Digital unveils its first SSDs
Western Digital this morning entered into the solid-state drive field in earnest and launched its SiliconDrive III range. The result of its buyout of SiliconSystems earlier this year, the drives are targeted at professionals where longevity is more important than sheer speed. Although they don't have read and write speeds faster than 100MB and 80MB per second respectively, they have a unique predictive feature that calculates the remaining lifespan of a drive so that it can be replaced before it fails.
Kingston releases first 128GB USB flash memory drive
Storage device maker Kingston Technology on Monday announced it has released a new USB flash drive series, the DataTraveler 200, with the first-ever 128GB USB flash drive available. The range also offers 32GB and 64GB models. All have password protection in the form of Password Traveler security software for Windows. The DT200s have a capless design, with the USB connector retracting into the device's body for protection.
Israeli carriers line up to sell iPhone
Israelis should finally be able to buy the iPhone in the near future, announcements reveal. Partner Communications -- which operates the Israeli division of Orange -- says it has signed an agreement with Apple Sales International, which will allow it to sell iPhones domestically for a period of at least three years. Partner is in turn expected to buy a minimum number of iPhones each year, representing a "significant portion" of all its cellphone purchases.
Logitech adds M555b BT mouse with fast scroll
Logitech on Tuesday added a new mid-range notebook mouse to its catalog in the M555b. Although simple with just a four-button design, it borrows the metal scroll wheel from the MX and VX lines to either freely spin through very large documents or else to click step-by-step through smaller content. It also abandons RF wireless in favor of Bluetooth to free up a USB port.
Garmin outs watch-like Foretrex GPS navigators
GPS hardware maker Garmin on Tuesday announced it will double its wrist-mounted Foretrex range, adding to the current Foretrex 201 and Foretrex 101 with the Foretrex 301 and 401. The devices are flexible enough to be used by families or military personnel, and feature a built-in, high-sensitivity GPS receiver, waterproof and rugged construction with a USB interface. Hikers or mountain bikers can save their trail as a series of points via the TracBack feature, and up to 500 waypoints can be saved in memory.
Apple holds to pre-order promise for iPhone 3GS
People who have pre-ordered the iPhone 3GS from Apple should get it on the official June 19th release date, Apple insists. Concern began when it was reported that AT&T had sold out of pre-orders on Saturday, potentially forcing buyers to wait one to two weeks extra, or simply join a line at an AT&T store for a chance at launch-day stock. Apple's own shipments are doing just fine, the company's website suggests.
Cisco launches Flip Channels, iPhone app
Cisco today gave its Flip cameras a key update with the launch of FlipShare.com, its matching Flip Channels and a new iPhone app. The new feature gives users their own collection of videos on the Cisco-run website but, unlike YouTube or similar pages, lets users more specifically share videos only with with certain groups rather than just the entire public or all of a user's friends. In addition to a software update launching today, all Flip cameras shipping from today onwards will have the feature.
Dual-core iPhone processor likely next year
ARM has teased the future of the iPhone and other smartphones with added early details for its first dual-core mobile processor design. The Cortex A9 will shrink the manufacturing process from the 65 nanometers used on the single-core Cortex A8 used in the iPhone 3G S to 45 nanometers, letting it add the extra core without significantly affecting the power draw. Although it consumes more energy at peak, the smaller process and multiprocessing should ultimately lead to longer battery life.
Olympus E-P1 debuts with removable lens, HD
Olympus today finally launched the E-P1, its first camera using the Micro Four Thirds system and the first to adopt a non-SLR profile. Meant to recall the company's PEN cameras, it has a consciously retro but compact design that allows a large DSLR sensor and removable lenses but without the depth needed with a conventional mirror box or large optics. In a unique approach, Olympus doesn't have a dedicated electronic viewfinder beyond the 3-inch LCD but does give the choice of an optical add-on viewfinder.
RIM unveils BlackBerry Tour world phone
Ending a degree of speculation, Research in Motion on Tuesday launched the BlackBerry Tour 9630. The smartphone is the first modern QWERTY keyboard device for CDMA networks and inherits the overall design of the Curve 8900, including its larger 2.44-inch 480x360 screen, but the keys of the Bold. It's also the second 3G world roaming phone for these networks in recent months and has both CDMA and EVDO Revision A for North American carriers but GSM and EDGE for the Americas as well as HSPA for European 3G services.

WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu
Amazon refreshes entry-level Kindle
Amazon has added a new Kindle to its ebook reader range, one that is thinner and lighter than the previous entry-level model. Offering a six-inch 167-dpi touchscreen display, a doubled 4GB of storage, and an option for a white casing, the new model also adds in the ability to export highlights and notes to an email account as a PDF. Two versions of the all-new Kindle are available, priced at $80 including "Special Offers" and $100 without. http://amzn.to/28Q4c3R

Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield Cheats
|ON OTHER PLATFORMS: PC, Xbox
publisher: Ubisoft
developer: Ubisoft
genre: Shooters
|ESRB rating: M
release date: Mar 18, 03
|» All About Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield on ActionTrip
While playing, press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. Enter the code again to deactivate the cheat.
Fire Lasers
While playing, press Up, Down, Up, Down, click Right-Analog, click Right-Analog. Your team will then fire blue lasers and the enemies will fire red lasers. You cannot see the lazer when you fire but when the enemies or friends do.
God mode
Press Up(2), Down(2), Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A during game play. The message "God Mode" will appear to confirm correct code entry. Note: This only seems to effect you, and not your team or hostages. To complete levels with God mode activated, turn off God mode off before the end of every mission. The game will not think that it was used, and you will continue to the next level.
Meat Packing Plant
Finding hidden enemies: After you rescue the second hostage, you have to go into a giant freezer. Take out the guards on the cat-walk then get into the crouching position. Turn on your thermal imaging goggles. There will be guards, but they will be blacked out by mist and the carcasses of dead cows. However, with the goggles you can see their feet. Shooting them in the feet or legs enough times will kill them, saving you and your men from exposure.
Oil refinery
On the first level that you are in an oil refinery, take an HE grenade launcher as your secondary weapon. At the end when the enemies fire RPGs, take it out. Step out from under the roof area so that enemy fires an RPG. Three enemies will appear. Shoot an HE round to kill them. Move back under the roof, reload you HE Grenade launcher, and wait until a second RPG is fired. Move around the corner and with your HE grenade launcher and shoot the man that is standing there. Turn around, and when the garage door opens, shoot the barrels on the right side with your primary weapon. Kill all enemies, secure the hostage, and the level will be completed. Note: It recommended that you save the game when you open the door that leads to the RPG area.
Penthouse: Easier kills
Even though you are told "no shooting" in this level, there is a surprise later where you have to shoot to first save someone then escape. Because of this, change your secondary weapon to either the Desert Eagle or SR-2. This way you will not have to shoot someone four times to kill him with a weak silenced pistol.
Conserving ammunition
After every fire fight, reload even if you have 22 rounds remaining. If you keep doing this, you should have enough ammunition for the long fire fights and levels.
Gun guide
If you are going into a total building level such as the Crespo Foundation, take along a shotgun or a submachine gun. The reticule does not shrink as much when you move with an assault rifle. You will move around a lot in buildings and room clearing. For places like an oil refinery, which has big indoor rooms and some outdoor areas, take an assault rifle that is compact to carry a punch but is still semi-maneuverable in rooms. In industrial indoor settings, take a sub that is good for big rooms and is still effective for small rooms. In total building settings, take along a shotgun. Its targeting reticule barely shrinks when you move.
Exploding bullet sound
Throw a WP grenade and switch back to your primary weapon as it explodes. If timed correctly, when you fire your weapon it will sound like a WP grenade is exploding, and when you reload it sounds like the pin to a grenade is being pulled. Switching back to grenades ends this.
Mission version of level
During create a match, select "Mission" for a game type, then switch to the map choser and switch out. Then, select the "Team Survival Mode" option and chose either "Old City" or "Import/Export". You will get the mission version of that level. Note: This only works with those two levels.

Matin Maulawizada, Global Brand Ambassador for Laura Mercier created Claire Danes' stunning look for the Screen Actors Guild Awards last week. Matin's inspiration derived from Danes' Vionnet gown which he stated "contained a Roxy Music feel." He created a modern and sexy look with a glimmer reminiscent of the 1980s. Claire's alluring, dramatic and sexy eye makeup, radiant skin and her luscious full lips look gorgeous, thanks to Matin's expertise with Laura Mercier's products.
Valent's Day is coming up, so here's how to get Claire's sexy and stunning look:
Flawless Face:
- First, Maulawizada prepped Danes' skin with Laura Mercier Mega Moisturizer Crème SPF 15 in Normal/Combination Skin ($50), Laura Mercier Repair Eye Serum ($80) and Laura Mercier Repair Eye Cream ($75). Then he massaged Danes' face using Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($32) to relax the skin and create an even canvas (the massage is her favorite part of the process!).
- Next he applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation in Sunny Beige ($50) all over her skin, slightly contouring her face. After that, he blended Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation in Warm Ivory ($50) into Danes' skin, highlighting its natural radiance.
- Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Rosebud ($24) and a touch of Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Sunrise ($24) to the apples of her cheeks. He used a touch of Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in Highlight – 01 ($36) onto her cheek bones.
- Lastly, he lightly dusted Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder in Universal ($35) to set her makeup, ensuring she looked flawless throughout the evening.
Bold Eyes:
- Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Cobalt ($22) to Danes' lash line.
- Creating a bold eye look, he applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Smoke ($26) followed by Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour in Mystical ($23) and Laura Mercier Satin Matte Eye Colour in Dark Spirit ($23) all over her eyelids.
- To accentuate her eyes, he dusted a thin layer of loose, blue glitter to Dane's eyelids. For a similar product, Maulawizada recommended using Laura Mercier Sequin Eye Colour in Lapis ($23).
- Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Long Lash Mascara in Bleu ($24) to accentuate Dane's lashes.
Soft Lips:
- Adding the final touch of glamour, Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Lip Plumper in Pink Pearl ($30) to Danes' lips.

Bulldog Headlines
Junior wide receiver Josh Harper has caught two TD passes in 3-of-4 games this year and is tied for fifth nationally in touchdown receptions with six.
Fresno State is coming off a game at Hawai'i in which it recorded seven sacks - its most since the 2010 season opener.
Heisman Trophy Candidate Derek Carr
Fresno State Athletics has launched its website DC4Heisman.com to promote the Bulldogs' Heisman Trophy candidate, Derek Carr. Carr is one of the nation's top quarterbacks and ranks second nationally with 361.2 passing yards per game and he is tied for third nationally with 14 touchdown passes despite playing in one less game than the two players ranked ahead of him. He leads all active players by having thrown for a touchdown in 24-straight games and he has nine career games with four or more touchdown passes, which ranks second nationally.
Moving Up In The Polls
The Bulldogs climbed up two spots in both major polls, rising to No. 21 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 23 in the Associated Press Poll. The last time Fresno State was inside the top 20 was on Nov. 20, 2005 when the 'Dogs were No. 16 in both polls.

Carr's Five TDs Lead `Dogs Past UI
Derek Carr threw for 371 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Fresno State football team to a 48-24 victory over Idaho in the WAC opener on Saturday at the Kibbie Dome.
With a nine-game winning streak over the Vandals, Fresno State leads the all-time series with Idaho 10-4. The series first started in 1946 with a 13-12 Bulldog victory over the Vandals in Fresno. Idaho proceeded to win the next four games - from 1956 to 1967 - in the series before Fresno State's current winning streak started in 1978. Idaho joined the WAC in 2005 and over the next seven seasons Fresno State won the league games by an average of 18.1 points. The Bulldogs are 5-2 all-time when playing at Idaho. The last time the two schools met was on Sept. 24, 2011 and Derek Carr threw for 371 yards and five touchdowns in the 48-24 win. It was the first of 13 300-yard passing games in his career and the first of four games in his career with five touchdown passes.
Scouting Idaho
Idaho is coming off its first win of the year and enters this weekend's game with a 1-4 record. The Vandals defeated Temple 26-24 at home on Sept. 28 in a game where they racked up 478 yards of offense, 310 of which came through the air. The Vandals opened the year with four-straight losses, which included a 42-10 defeat at Wyoming on Sept. 7. Idaho averages 15.4 points per game and allows 38.6 points and 498 yards on defense. Quarterback Chad Chalich is completing 65 percent of his passes and throws for 222.2 yards per game. The Vandals average 144 yards per game on the ground, with Chalich being the team's leading rusher. Last season, Idaho ranked dead last in the bowl subdivision with 39 turnovers and in five games this year the Vandals have turned the ball over 10 times, nine on lost fumbles. Defensively, Idaho has recorded eight sacks this year and forced nine turnovers - five fumble recoveries and four interceptions.
Sack Party
After recording a season-high seven sacks in last week's win at Hawai'i, the Bulldogs now have 13 sacks in four games and are tied for 10th in the FBS with 3.25 sacks per game. The seven sacks last game by the Bulldogs are the most in their last 41 games. The last time Fresno State had more than seven sacks in a game was in the 2010 season opener against Cincinnati when the 'Dogs recorded eight sacks for a loss of 64 yards. Also, those seven sacks vs. Hawai'i tied for the second-most in a game this year by any bowl subdivision team. Only Northern Illinois has more, as the Huskies recorded nine sacks at Idaho on Sept. 14. Idaho has allowed 28 sacks in five games this season.
In addition to all the sacks, Fresno State is tied for fifth nationally with 9.0 tackles for a loss per game. The Bulldogs have 36 total tackles for a loss this season and have 17 different players that have recorded a stop behind the line of scrimmage. Among those 17 players, nine of them have two or more tackles for a loss.
Sack Leader
Sophomore linebacker Ejiro Ederaine continues to make his steady climb as a playmaker for the Bulldog defense. Last week at Hawai'i, he recorded two sacks for the second-straight game and finished with four tackles and a pass breakup. Ederaine made his first career start in the contest and through four games, he leads the team in sacks with four and tackles for a loss with 5.5. He is second in the Mountain West in sacks and fifth in the league in tackles for a loss.
4-0 Start
Fresno State is off to a 4-0 start for the first time since the 2001 season when the Bulldogs opened up the year by winning its first six games. This is the 17th time in school history that the Bulldogs have opened a season with four-straight wins and in the 10 previous times (since 1950) the 'Dogs started 4-0, they finished the season with an average of nine wins per year. Fresno State has an opportunity to improve to 5-0 this weekend, which would be the 15th time in school history that the Bulldogs opened a year with five wins.
Fresno State and Northern Illinois are the only remaining undefeated non-AQ teams left in the FBS. The Huskies are 4-0 with wins over Iowa, Idaho, Eastern Illinois and Purdue. NIU hosts Kent State this Saturday. NIU is not ranked in the AP Poll, but entered in the USA Today Coaches Poll at No. 23 this week, two spots behind the Bulldogs.
Jones Gives Bulldogs First Defensive Touchdown
Senior cornerback L.J. Jones returned an interception 56 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter of last week's win at Hawai'i. It was his first career pick-six and marked the first defensive touchdown of the season for the Bulldogs. Last season when Fresno State ranked fifth nationally with 35 turnovers gained, the Bulldogs scored eight defensive touchdowns and that was the second-most in the FBS in 2012. Jones was named the national defensive back of the week by the College Football Performance Awards for his game against the Rainbow Warriors.
Jones, who has made 32 consecutive starts for the 'Dogs, has played two of the best games of his career over the past two weeks. On Sept. 20 in the win over Boise State, he recorded a career-high 11 tackles, one tackle for a loss, returned a fumble 13 yards and had four pass breakups. Then in the Hawai'i game, he picked off two passes - his other pick being on the last play of the game to preserve the 42-37 victory. It marked the first time in his career that he intercepted two passes in a game. Jones has 26 tackles on the season, 3.0 tackles for a loss and he is tied for the Mountain West lead in passes defended with seven (five pass breakups and two interceptions).
Turnover Streak Reaches 17
Thanks to Jones' two interceptions, Fresno State's streak of consecutive games forcing a turnover reached 17-straight games. The Bulldogs have recorded at least one take-away in every game of the Tim DeRuyter era and have 42 total turnovers gained in that time (2.5 per game). Fresno State has seven take-aways on the season - four interceptions and three fumbles recovered.
Surviving A Barrage of Turnovers
On the other side of the turnover game, the Bulldogs turned the ball over five times last week against Hawai'i and were still able to come away with the win. The last time Fresno State had five turnovers in a game was back on Nov. 14, 2008 in a 52-14 loss at Nevada. In the last five-plus years, Fresno State has had eight games now where it has turned the ball over four or more times and the 'Dogs are 3-5 in those games. Fresno State has turned the ball over nine times total this season - six times on lost fumbles and three times on interceptions thrown.
Harper Continues to Catch Touchdowns
Junior wide receiver Josh Harper caught two touchdown passes in last week's win at Hawai'i. He now has caught two TDs in three of the four games this season and his six total touchdown receptions are tied for the fifth-most in the country and tied for the second-most in the Mountain West with Wyoming's Dominic Rufran. UNLV's Devante Davis is second nationally with eight touchdown receptions. Last week, Harper caught nine passes and set a new career-high with 123 yards receiving. It was his third career 100-yard receiving game. His first TD was a 30-yard score on Fresno State's first drive of the game and his second was a nine-yard reception in the back of the end zone early in the third quarter.
Harper has always been one to find the end zone. For his career, he now has caught 87 passes for 1,094 yards and 15 touchdowns in 20 games played. He is tied for ninth in school history with Jalen Saunders (2010-11), Brian Roberson (1993-96) and John Sexton (1968-70) for touchdown receptions by a Bulldog.
Adams' Streak Comes To An End
Davante Adams saw his streak of 11 consecutive games catching a touchdown pass come to an end last weekend. His streak was the longest active streak in the nation at the time and still stands as the school and Mountain West record for consecutive games with a touchdown catch. Adams finished the Hawai'i game with five catches for 22 yards, which is his lowest receiving output in terms of yardage in his career. Despite the down game, Adams continues to lead the Mountain West in receptions per game with nine and he is tied for fourth with four TD catches. He ranks third nationally with the nine catches per game.
Fresno State's Magic Number
The Bulldogs are a perfect 12-0 under head coach Tim DeRuyter when scoring 30 or more points in a game. Since DeRuyter and offensive coordinator Dave Schramm took over in 2012, there have only been five games where the 'Dogs did not score 30 points and they are 1-4 in those games when they do not. Over the past 10 seasons, and including the four games from this year, Fresno State owns a 57-14 record when scoring 30 or more points. That's a winning percentage of 80.3 percent when scored 30 or more points in a game.
Fresno State has scored 40 or more points in nine out of its last 10 games and the Bulldogs lead the Mountain West and rank 12th nationally in scoring at 44.0 points per game. Fresno State is averaging 489.8 yards of offense through four games this season and 480.4 in 17 games under offensive coordinator Dave Schramm.
Carr Ties for Another School Record
With 324 yards passing against Hawai'i last week, Derek Carr tied his brother David for the most 300-yard passing games in school history. It was his 13th career 300 yard game and his third game this season passing for over 300 yards. It is the 13th school record that he either owns or is tied for. Carr came close to setting another record last week, although this one was a Mountain West record. He had 180 consecutive pass attempts without an interception before he was picked off on a deflected pass at the line of scrimmage late in the third quarter. He was just three attempts shy of tying the MW record set this year by Wyoming's Brett Smith at 183 consecutive attempts without an interception.
Carr continues to inch closer on several other of the major passing records at Fresno State. He needs 1,604 passing yards to break the all-time passing record that has stood since 1986, eight more TDs to set a new record for most touchdowns tossed in a career, 70 more completions and 224 more attempts for the most in school history. His nine games with four or more TD passes is the most in school history and the second most in the nation behind Georgia's Aaron Murray.
Strong Linebacker Play
Fresno State has been getting strong play from its young linebacking crew. Ejiro Ederaine has had two sacks in each of the past two games. Karl Mickelsen had 16 tackles two week's ago against Boise State, which tied for the most by a Bulldog in the last dozen years. This past week against Hawai'i, sophomore inside linebacker Kyrie Wilson set a new career-high with 11 tackles and he had one pass breakup in the win. His game marked the 84th time since 2002 that a Bulldog had posted 10 or more tackles in a game and the third time it has happened this season (Mickelsen and then L.J. Jones also against Boise State are the other two). Mickelsen with 38 tackles and Wilson with 29 are the teams' top-two leading tacklers on the season.
Lewis Joins In On The Sack Party
Junior linebacker Donavon Lewis recorded his first two sacks of the season last week against Hawai'i and his plays resulted in a loss of 20 yards. It marked his first career two-sack game and gave him 8.5 sacks total in his career. Lewis is Fresno State's active leader in career sacks and is followed by senior defensive end Andy Jennings, who has six career sacks.
Protecting the QB
In addition to leading the conference in sacks on defense, the Fresno State offensive line is the top team protecting the quarterback. Fresno State has only allowed three sacks through four games this year, which is all more impressive in the fact that the Bulldogs have thrown the ball 214 times. The Bulldogs are tied for sixth nationally in sacks allowed at 0.75 per game. Leading the offensive line is Outland Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award candidate Austin Wentworth, the Bulldogs' left tackle who has made 34 career starts, including 32 consecutive.
Success On the Ground
Fresno State rushed for 206 yards and three rushing touchdowns last week against Hawai'i, which is by far its greatest output on the ground this year. The previous high was 162 yards on Sept. 7 against Cal Poly. Fresno State averaged 4.6 yards per rush in the Hawai'i game compared to 4.1 vs. the Mustangs in week two.
Still using a running back by committee approach, Josh Quezada and Marteze Waller both produced results last weekend. Quezada rushed for 78 yards on 13 attempts, averaging 6.0 yards per carry. Waller had 22 carries for 95 yards and scored two touchdowns. He averaged 4.3 yards per run and had a 21-yard carry late in the first quarter. That was the first run of over 20 yards by a Bulldog running back this season. In addition to those two, Malique Micenheimer had four rushes for 22 yards with a long run of 14 yards. Quarterback Derek Carr had the third rushing touchdown in the game, his first of the season.
Strong On Third Downs
Fresno State limited Hawai'i to convert only 4-of-17 third-down attempts in last week's win. The Bulldogs are second in the league in third-down defense, allowing opponents to convert only 34.3 percent of their third-down tries (24-of-70). Utah State leads the league in that category, holding opponents to just 30.9 percent on third downs.
Team/Player Notebook
Fresno State has recorded a sack in 13-straight games. The 'Dogs have 53 total sacks in 17 games under head coach Tim DeRuyter and defensive coordinator Nick Toth for an average of 3.1 per game.
The last time Fresno State played at Idaho in 2011, wide receiver Josh Harper caught three passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. He recorded the longest reception of his career in that game, a 49-yard catch.
Sophomore wide receiver Aaron Peck caught three passes for 53 yards vs. Hawai'i last week. They were the first three catches of his career. His longest reception was a 35-yarder on his second catch of the game, which came in the third quarter.
Fresno State is tied for the nation's seventh-longest home winning streak at nine. That is tied with Utah State for the longest among all non-AQ schools. The Aggies host BYU on Friday as they look to keep their streak alive.
Fresno State features three of the top five players ranked in the Mountain West in receptions per game. Davante Adams is first with 9.0 (which ranks third nationally). Isaiah Burse is second at 7.25 (ranks 16th nationally) and Josh Harper is tied for fourth at 7.0 (20th in the FBS).
Sophomore kick returner Dillon Root is averaging 24.5 yards per kickoff return, which ranks fourth in the Mountain West. Although it is only four games into the season, that is the best return average since A.J. Jefferson back in 2007 and 2008. In 2007, Jefferson led the nation by averaging 35.8 yards on 26 kickoff returns with two touchdowns. He set the school record that season for best kickoff return average. In 2008, Jefferson ranked fourth nationally with an average of 29.3 yards on 31 returns with one touchdown. His 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Nevada on Nov. 7, 2008 is the last time a Bulldog has returned a kickoff for a touchdown.
Three of Fresno State's four wins (vs. Rutgers, Boise State and Hawai'i) have been by a total of seven points. The 'Dogs own one-point victories over Rutgers and Boise State and a five-point win over Hawai'i. Last season there was not one game decided by five points or less. In 2011, the Bulldogs were 2-2 in games decided by five points or less.

Operator: Good day ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Third Quarter 2012 JDSU Earnings Conference Call. My name is Keisha and I will be your operator for today. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. As a reminder this conference is being recorded for replay purposes.
I would now like to turn the call over to Cherryl Valenzuela, Senior Manager of Investor relations. Please proceed.
Cherryl Valenzuela - IR: Thank you, operator. Welcome to JDSU's fiscal 2012 third quarter financial results conference call. Joining me on the call today are Tom Waechter, Chief Executive Officer; Dave Vellequette, Chief Financial Officer; David Heard, President of the CommTest Business Segment will join us today during the Q&A section of the call.
I'd like to remind you that this call will include forward-looking statements about the future financial performance of the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from management's current expectations. We encourage you to look at the Company's most recent filings with the SEC, particularly the risk factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 30, 2011. The forward-looking statements, including guidance provided during this call are valid only as of today's date, and JDSU undertakes no obligation to update these statements as we move through the quarter.
Please note that all numbers are non-GAAP, unless otherwise stated. A detailed reconciliation of these non-GAAP results to our GAAP results, as well as a discussion of their usefulness and limitations is included in today's news release announcing our results, which is available on our website at www.jdsu.com.
As a reminder, the quarterly earnings press release, supplementary slides, and historical financial tables are posted at www.jdsu.com/investors under the Investor Resources section. Finally, and as a reminder, this call is being recorded and will be available for replay from the Investor section of our website.
I would now like to turn the call over to Tom.
Thomas Waechter - President and CEO: Thank you, Cherryl, and good afternoon. I will provide an overview of our March quarter and market trend before handing the call to Dave for a more detailed discussion of our financial results. JDSU delivered fiscal third quarter revenue of $409 million, within $1 million of the lower end of our guidance range. The March quarter typically has a seasonal revenue decline due to the timing of budget releases by carriers. This year, we experienced a later than expected budget and order release cycle. In addition, there has been continued cautious spending by European customers and a higher mix of deferred revenue from software and solution sales
In spite of the slow start to the quarter, book-to-bill was above 1 for JDSU, as well as the CCOP and CommTest. CommTest had approximately 50% of its bookings take place in the last four weeks of the quarter, which impacted revenue by approximately $3 million. The AOT segment's book-to-bill came in slightly below 1, following exceptionally strong bookings in December.

Why not spend the night in the park, different lodging possibilities available.
We are thinking of visiting Taman Safari during a school holiday in April, that would include an overnight at a hotel near the park. Any Hotel suggestions, recommendations, as well as cautions on places to avoid, would be appreciated.
Why not spend the night in the park, different lodging possibilities available.
we stayed at Seruni hotel several years ago, quite happy with the service, good value hotel at that time.
I just checked their website, I
'm surprised they grow very fast, seem like a big resort right now..
Boy you guys are fast. I saw the Seruni site via Google Maps. Thanks for the feedback on your stay. Jean, I did not realize the park has accommodations; I will punch up their site and have a look -- staying at the park would certainly alleviate traffic concerns, that is once you get there.
If your kids' school holiday is an Indonesian holiday you'll have company on the roads and in the park. :-)
I second Seruni. I visited with my sister and 4 year old nephew last year and we loved it. The only downside was the breakfast wasn't that great.
I found that the accommodation in the park itself books up very quickly so it's best to book early if you want to stay there. The site itself seems quite nice when we had a look around.
The challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else.
OK, thanks. I will get cracking.
When /if you stay there can you come back to this thread and give some feedback Waarmie, please. I have considered staying at the park but been unable to get any form of pricing up online... my Bahasa Indonesia is way below standard for a phone call to them. Most of the time I can't even understand English over the phone if spoken by Indonesian people... or they can't understand me..
Cicak Magnet
http://www.royalsafarigarden.com It is located very close to Taman Safari. My parents used to take my brothers and I there when we're child. It was fun. They have hotel and bungalow also provide a lot of fun facilities.
Have a nice holiday!

~ Welcome to Indonesia! - Have a nice day ~
Sure thing BA & thanks, Joe. We will check it out.

Hey, art lovers and historians, get ready to have your mind blown by "Tim's Vermeer," the new documentary produced by Penn Jillette and directed by Teller.
Wowing festival audiences at Telluride, Toronto and New York, the film was also shortlisted for Best Documentary Oscar (although it didn't make the final five), and this past week even made Entertainment Weekly's "The Must List." Now, "Tim's Vermeer" bows to a bigger stage as it opens in Los Angeles (and other select cities) on January 31.
As a documentary, the premise is simple enough, Tim Jenison, the visionary digital desktop inventor behind DigiView, DigiPaint, and Video Toaster had long been fascinated by the Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer ("Girl with a Pearl Earring"). He was obsessed with how Vermeer's intricate paintings realistically conveyed color and light in a precise, almost digital manner.
Was it possible then, that this great Master used some kind of technology (albeit that from the 17th century) to help create his art works? Jenison begins a five-year journey to investigate Vermeer's process. Jenison learns the language and visits Vermeer's hometown of Delft and examines natural light, colors, paints, architecture, camera obscura optics, mirrors, as well as interviews artists, like David Hockney, and art historian Professor Philip Steadman (who wrote the 2001 controversial "Vermeer's Camera," which shook up the art world).
Penn explains on camera that he's been friends with Jenison for years, but had no idea of his obsession for Vermeer. He becomes equally captivated with Jenison's theories, and soon Penn and his magician partner Teller are on the road to document Jenison's quest.
Naturally since Penn & Teller are involved, one wonders if the film might utilize slight of hand tricks. But rest assured; Jenison shows every painstaking, artistic step of discovery as he and his helpers attempt to recreate Vermeer's acclaimed "The Music Lesson" both as an actual set and painting.
And what does Jenison conclude? Well, the revelation is startling, possibly controversial, and visually exciting. Frankly, if you're an art lover, the findings are simply too good to miss. And as a film lover, you'll equally enjoy "Tim's Vermeer" if only to follow one man's entertaining obsession to discover the truth.
"Tim's Vermeer" is 80 minutes, Rated PG-13 and opens in Los Angeles on January 31 at the Landmark Theatres -- which has a special event Q&A session with Penn & Teller, and Tim Jenison and producer Farley Ziegler on Friday, January 31 at the 6:00 p.m. screening; and also at the ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood -- which also has a special event Q&A session with Penn, Teller, Jenison, and Ziegler on Friday, January 31 at the 7:15p.m. screening.
