Texas School District Approves RFID Tag Trial for Student Attendance

Some parents are worried about the privacy of their children
A school district in San Antonio, Texas is looking to track some of its students using Radio Frequency Identification System (RFID) tags next year.
Northside Independent School District hopes to
use RFID tags
in two of its schools in order to help protect its students and also increase revenue.
RFID tags are ID cards that track the location of the holder. Northside Independent School District wants to take part in a trial next year where John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School students will carry the RFID tags at all times. This is about 6,290 students total.
"We want to harness the power of the technology to make schools safer, know where our students are all the time in school, and increase revenues," said Pascual Gonzalez, district spokesman. "Parents expect that we
always know where their children are
, and this technology will help us do that."
Parents in the school district have had varied reactions to the news. Some have been supportive while others question the need for such invasive technology.
"I would hope teachers can help motivate
students to be in their seats
instead of the district having to do this," said Margaret Luna, a parent in the district. "But I guess this is what happens when you don't have enough money."
RFID tags could help the school district offset cuts in state funding because attendance plays a huge role in determining revenue. With a more exact attendance count via RFID tags, Northside could receive a total of $1.7 million next year from higher attendance and Medicaid reimbursements for busing special education students. If the trial proves successful, RFID tags could go districtwide and bring in a much larger payoff.
The district will pay $525,065 to deploy the trial next year, then another $136,005 annually to run it. Each RFID tag is $15, which students will have to pay if they lose it.
While the payoff could be great for the district, privacy is the main concern of parents. The district says students will only be tracked while they are physically in the school, and only authorized administrative officials will have access to RFID information. However, there are concerns regarding kidnapping if someone were to
hack into the system
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) battled a California school in 2005 for using such technology, citing worries over identity theft and kidnapping.
The Northside school board approved the RFID program last Tuesday after a long debate over privacy and potential revenue increases.

The FDA is working closely with the CDC and state partners to investigate an outbreak of meningitis among patients who received epidural steroid injections. While the investigation into the exact source of the outbreak is still ongoing, a potentially contaminated product, a preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate (80mg/ml), an injectable steroid compounded and distributed by New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Massachusetts, is suspected to be the cause of the outbreak.

Lauriers Business of Film event draws large crowd
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Feb 29/12
Hot on the heels of Hollywoods most glamorous night the Academy Awards Laurier alumni, students and friends packed into Kitcheners IMAX Empire Theatre to listen to three seasoned industry professionals discuss how to make it in the entertainment industry.
The Business of Film event was co-hosted by William Banks, acting dean of the School of Business & Economics, and Michael Carroll, dean of the Faculty of Arts, who introduced the evenings entertaining speakers.
Laurier alumnus Larry OReilly (85), who is president, worldwide sales of IMAX, spoke about his journey from a Laurier business student to an IMAX president as well as the journey of IMAX as a company.
OReilly knew he wanted to work at IMAX after seeing Stones at the Max, an IMAX concert film of The Rolling Stones. In just a couple of weeks, he spied an ad in The Globe and Mail for manager of international film distribution for IMAX.
It was the sales job of my lifetime, said OReilly, indicating he had very few of the qualifications IMAX was looking for. But through a bit of luck and a lot of determination including calling the hiring manager directly and convincing him that the qualifications they were looking for were wrong he convinced IMAX what they needed was a salesman, and he landed the job.
OReilly currently oversees all aspects of theatre sales and marketing, as well as the development and design of IMAX theatres.
Take any job you can in your chosen field, whatever job you can get to get in, he said. Because when you meet with the people and you press them, who knows where its going to go.
Laurier alumnus Bruce Morrison (86), senior vice-president, retail sales and marketing for Disney, got his start at Hallmark as a greeting card salesman. After taking a risk and moving to Costa Rica for a job that didnt pan out, Morrison moved back to Canada for a fresh start. Like OReilly, he saw an ad in The Globe and Mail for a company called BVA Video, which was Canada's Buena Vista Home Entertainment division for Disney.
I sold Disney videos, which was the easiest thing Ive ever done in my life, said Morrison. The first video I sold was The Lion King, and we couldnt make them fast enough.
Morrison became managing director for Disney Consumer Products Canada and then vice-president of retail business development in California, where he led the creation of U.S. key account teams against Walmart, Target, Toys R Us and Kmart.
Morrison then spoke about the key strategies for Disney and what his current job entails.
Have some fun, he told the audience. Work hard, but take time to enjoy your family and friends, because thats what its all about.
Acclaimed filmmaker and producer Toni Myers rounded out the evening. Myers began her career as an assistant editor to Donald Ginsberg in Toronto, working on commercials, the CBC series Telescope and the National Film Board's groundbreaking feature, Nobody Waved Goodbye, among many other projects. In 1965 she met Graeme Ferguson, who later became co-inventor and co-founder of IMAX.
Myers shared her involvement with the origins of IMAX; she was invited by Ferguson to edit the first all-IMAX film, North of Superior, which aired at Ontario Place in Toronto.
I saw the first test of the projector, which was at McMaster, said Myers. I thought they were all completely nuts. There was this hulk of a projector that made more noise than a locomotive, and it was about the size of a locomotive and it was chewing up and spewing bits of film all over but thats all history that has a happy ending.
Myers also brought along clips from some of the 14 films she has done in IMAX with Ferguson, including a deep-sea feature, the trailer for Space Station 3D and The Rolling Stones performing "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction from the movie that inspired OReilly to work at IMAX.
The evening finished with a question and answer period.
The Business of Film was a free community event held Feb. 28. The event was generously sponsored by Lauriers Faculty of Arts, The School of Business & Economics and the Department of English and Film Studies.

Baseball Boogie video
Dodgers lost two games now so I thought that instead of dwelling on the losses, I'll post something for fun.
I saw this video last year and I thought it was hilarious. It is funny wathing it all over again. You can see Orel Hershiser, Rick Honeycutt, Mike Scioscia, Bobby Welch, Pedro Guerrero, Mariano Duncan and other players. Now at the beginning of the youtube it gives a list of players that participated but I did not see Fernando Valenzuela on the video.
Mariano: Can I borrow the pink jacket for the 80's night at the stadium :-)?
Any ideas on how I should dressed for 80's fireworks night? Is Friday June 5th. Nothing too crazy OK :-)? Thanks!
20 Comments
Wow, that is totally retro. It goes on for a bit too long, but it's pretty cool. You will have to post pics from 80s night too. When is it? Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
TOO funny Emma! Loved the hair and didn't they all look better in those "tight" pants! lol!
80's Fireworks night is Friday June 5th. I need ideas on how to dress. I have a couple but I don't want to make it too crazy.
They sure looked better with the "tight" pants. I can't believe they agreed to make that video. What were they thinking!?
I can't believe they agreed to make that video either! I can't see that happening in 2009 because everything has gotten so corporate. But it was fun!
hahaha wow that's funny… funny to see how much the styles and stuff have changed since then. lol
~ King of Cali
I thought you would a kick out of that video. I bet the those players are embarrased that it surfaced. I forgot to mention it to Bobby Welch when he was part of our coaches for the WIN baseball clinic at Camelback Ranch.
Whoa, they certainly wore their pants tight back then! What a difference from today's "pajama bottoms". I must say, though, that that's a truly cringe-worthy video. I wonder how many of the guys would be mortified to see it now!
Hmm, how to dress 80s? Well, big hair is a must. Let's see what else I remember….neon clothes, all those rubber bracelets (a la Madonna's early days), really tight pants with high heels. Or you could go the whole punk/new-wave look, with safety pins all over and spiked hair. We'll definitely need to see pictures of it!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
That is a funny video
As for dressing up for the 80's:
Well if you have an old big Dodgers t-shirt they cut (round up) the neckline so that the shirt will fall of one shoulder. If the shirt is long then wear a big belt over the shirt. Wear a contrasting tanktop or spaguetti strap under t-shirt and allow that shirt to show. Spandex pants or tight jeans (skinnies) will do. If it's chilly on Friday night than layer your socks (multi colors). And to finish it wear a bright neon blue bow on your hair. Oy yeah wear lots and lots of hairspray. HAVE FUN AT THE GAME!
I'm still thinking about the video…I wonder what bet they lost or how much did they get paid for it…LOL!
Emma that is a funny video, I wonder if the Dodgers can organize a reunion tour???
I don't know if they made the pants even tighter for the video. I don't remember them being so tight. I have not heard yet what the guys think of the video now but I will definetely ask Honeycutt next time I see him by the bullpen. Thanks for all the suggestions. Definetely need to do the big hair.
That is a great idea to do with an old Dodger t-shirt! Yes! I have some big ones. One of them is the Schmidt giveaway t-shirt from a few years back. BTW i wonder how he did yesterday in San Bernardino. I better check Thanks!
I thought I read that they got paid like $400?
A reunion would be so cool but I don't think the guys would go fo it. How about showing the video on the big screen on 80's night? You think they would go for it? I am going to suggest it and see what they say.
Holy Moly,
I played baseball with Dave Anderson in High School.
Who knew he had such rythym and singing ability.
We know he could play a killer shortstop or second base, but the dancing and singing brings about a new dimension to the guy.
I just missed seeing Alferdo Griffin in there maybe doing a Spanish version.
Now that was fun to watch.
Thanks Emma.
Rays Renegade
I did not know you played baseball in High School with Dave Anderson!
I love that video! It's even funnier than "the Super Bowl Shuffle"! And I really like the tight pants a lot, too. They're so much nicer looking😉 Besides, the new, baggier ones just look like pajama bottoms. I think at least players should be required to wear the long socks, then it doesn't look quite so sloppy.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com
Glad you liked the video! Guys did look better with the tighter pants. I hate the ones that drag too long.
Emily & Steph & Canuck,
the guys probably hated that this resurrected after what? 23 years? Like you all said is priceless. Love the line "Baseball has been very good to me "

September 11, 2013 —
An account in The River Reporter of Town of Lumberland Supervisor Nadia Rajsz' effort to acquire property for a visitor center provoked a lengthy exchange at the September 5 meeting of the Upper Delaware Council.
The question of which entity—the National Park Service (NPS) or the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway, or both—would be served by the center went unanswered, but decades of past failed visitor center efforts were part of the discussion.
Last month Rajsz announced a $325,000 state grant application and won town board approval to acquire a "right of first refusal" on a Route 97 property near Lumberland's border with the Town of Highland. The 2.3-acre property, known as "the Coop," adjoins the NPS ranger office next door. She then said her plan was that the property was to become a visitor center and emergency river access to be co-managed with NPS.
The Town of Tusten has hosted the only NPS location dealing with visitor information, but NPS has said budget cuts are forcing closure of the Main Street, NPS book store. Tusten's alternate delegate, Tony Ritter, asked Rajsz to explain the newspaper account and how NPS could assist this project, while the book store, which cost $10,000 annually to operate, was being closed.
"History, tourism and economic development are all near to my heart," said Ritter, who said he was concerned about "the gap between" the closure of the book store and any development in Lumberland.
"We've applied, but there is no grant yet. If we get it, then we'll talk to NPS," Rajsz replied.
Deerpark delegate David Dean was skeptical about acquiring state money. "Do you honestly believe there is money sitting somewhere? You have an earmark… there is no money."
NPS Upper Delaware Superintendent Sean McGuinness confirmed that the property is "high on our list for acquisition" and that "NPS could enter into an agreement to provide technical expertise," but the agency can't develop land not federally owned. He said he was "warned" that there is "no money for a visitor center, but we can partner."
During the 1980s, an NPS visitor center site was originally proposed in the Town of Deerpark near the Orange-Sullivan county line, but New York State Department of Environmental Conservation concerns about disturbance of bald eagles ended the plan.
Visitor center discussion was largely shelved until 2005, when then U.S. Representative Maurice Hinchey acquired $600,000 and state Senator John Bonacic won $250,000 for development of the historic Cochecton Erie Railroad Station as a visitor center for the Route 97 Scenic Byway, which was to be managed by co-sponsor Sullivan County.
Cochecton delegate Larry Richardson said plans were then agreed for the town to provide summer and winter maintenance and NPS agreed to provide trash removal, "but nothing happened."
He said he had learned the county did not move on the project in Cochecton, "because there was nothing else there," and the federal money was lost when Fort Delaware in Tusten became the next proposed visitor center site in 2010. Lacking federal funding, the Tusten plan has also stalled.
Ritter suggested that a recreational vehicle could be equipped and used as a mobile visitor center to be manned at various locations and events.

I've had this one up my sleeve for a little while, so I think it's about time I shared it with you. When I describe the Listening Project, I've come to anticipate the question, "Why cassette tapes?" and the inevitable follow ups, "Why not go digital?" and "How are you going to convert to digital?" I usually just reply that I have my ways and it isn't that hard.
Now I have proof: Testing!
Behold! A little while ago I made a quick recording to test out the tape recorders when they arrived. As you can hear, I was a little over excited and started speaking too early (always wait at least five seconds), but you'd better believe that this digital recording was once (and actually, still is) on a cassette tape. You'll also probably notice that I am the most interesting and loquacious person alive. You're probably expecting me to say that I did this by magic… especially given my tendency to attribute most things to magic (see earlier posts). I aim to surprise, though, and I will tell you the secrets: (1) male-male audio cables, (2) a free Audacity download, and (3) Digital Bits.

Senate Votes to Repeal Ethanol Subsidy

39% of all corn produced in the U.S. goes to ethanol production
(Source: washingtonexaminer.com)
House to vote next
Lawmakers in Washington are working hard to write and pass laws that would have fuel efficiency standards in the U.S. changing drastically in coming years. While some in Washington support the new standards for vehicle efficiency, others oppose the standards. Along with mandating better fuel economy across a carmakers fleet, Washington is also seeing green and renewable fuel alternatives for vehicles.
In the U.S., ethanol has been added into the fuel we run in vehicles for years. Ethanol is as high as 10% in fuels today and some that are against ethanol, which is derived from corn, claim that the biofuel is increasing the price of some food items in America. A report published by the GAO claims that the use of ethanol has driven the cost of some food items up as much as 20%.
With all of Washington in cost cutting mode in an effort to shore up the federal budget lawmakers are looking at everywhere money can be saved. One place that some in the Senate want to save money is by repealing the subsidy on ethanol. The
Senate voted
Thursday 73-27 to end a $0.45 per gallon tax credit on ethanol-blended gasoline starting on July 1. According to those that support the repeal, the subsidy cost taxpayers $5.6 billion last year.
Growth Energy, and ethanol association, CEO Tom Buis said, "The Senate missed an enormous opportunity to take real action on deficit reduction and energy policy when it failed to put oil subsidies and giveaways to the same test as ethanol."
On the other side of the coin, Kate McMahon coordinator of biofuels campaigns for Friends of the Earth said, "Senators scored a win for the public and for the environment by voting to end this $6 billion giveaway." She continued saying, "[the Senate delivered a message] that the ethanol industry's days of living high off the taxpayers' hog have come to an end."
The effort to end the ethanol subsidy now goes to the House for voting. White House spokesman Jay Carney says that the Obama administration supports a reduction in the ethanol subsidy, but does not support a full repeal. Some claim that 39% of the corn produced in the U.S. is currently going into fuel tanks. With the costs to reach the
proposed 62mpg
regulations for fuel economy reaching nearly $10,000, some automakers are calling for the removal of ethanol from gasoline. Ethanol is renewable and greener than petroleum fuel, but reduces fuel economy.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Student Originated Software
Fall 2013, Winter 2014 and Spring 2014 quarters
Taught by
The successful completion of large software systems requires strong technical skills, good design and competent management. Unfortunately, unlike hardware, software systems have proven to be notoriously difficult to build on-time, in-budget, and reliable, despite the best efforts of many very smart people over the last 50 years. This is an upper-division program intended to help students gain the technical knowledge required to understand, analyze, modify and build complex software systems.
We will concentrate on learning the organization and complexity of large software systems that we do understand, and gaining practical experience in order to achieve a deeper understanding of the art, science, collaboration and multi-disciplinary skills required to develop computing solutions in real-world application domains. The technical topics will be selected from data structures, algorithm analysis, operating systems, networks, information security, object oriented design and analysis, verification techniques, scientific visualization and modeling. The program seminar will focus on various technical topics in the software industry. Students will have an opportunity to engage in a substantial computing project through all the development phases of proposal, requirements, specification, design and implementation.
This program is for advanced computer science students who satisfy the prerequisites. We also expect students to have the discipline, intellectual maturity and self motivation to identify their project topics, organize project teams and resources and complete advanced work independently.

Charlotte putting together offer for Boeing
Charlotte officials are putting together a bid for Boeing's new plant to build its 777X jetliner.
The Charlotte Observer reported that former city aviation director Jerry Orr said Chicago-based Boeing has sent the city a request for a proposal for the plant.
Officials say the next generation aircraft plant could create more than 8,000 jobs.
Documents obtained by the newspaper show Boeing wants land for the plant at little or no cost, as well as tax incentives. It also says it needs a technically skilled workforce.
Boeing has sent requests for proposals to more than a dozen cities around the country.
The company already has a plant in North Charleston, S.C., that makes the 787 Dreamliner.
The deadline for bids is next Tuesday.

They're a pretty well-supported club and one of the few names that is immediately identified with the sport.
Two or three games played around the country (especially in the south), marketed right, could do wonders for the club and pick up a few extra fans.
2011 has created a great opportunity for this to happen so why not!
May be they still have to try and lose as little money as possible, they have a core support they don't want to alienate, it would be ###### for season ticket sales which are the bedrock of a clubs finacies for the year along with Sky's donation.

Bird Feeders
Filter results
There are many things to think about when choosing a bird feeder. With so many options available, it can definitely get confusing in a hurry! We've put together a few of our top tips to help you pick the perfect bird feeder that will suit your needs.
There are many different styles and types of bird feeders to choose from. Each type has a unique purpose and functionality.
Hopper – Hopper bird feeders are great for holding a large amount of seed and feeding many birds. They also make refilling mess-free because of their large top opening. Cleaning is a breeze with a hopper style bird feeder because you can get in every nook and cranny. Many hopper feeders come with a seed tray on the bottom for larger birds to perch at while picking at the seed. If you have a lot of birds, or simply want something that's easy-to-use, then a hopper style bird feeder is for you!
Tube – The long plastic or metal tubes on tube bird feeders protect seeds from rain or snow, and help keep seeds dry and fresh. Multiple feeding ports mean that many birds can enjoy a tasty meal at the same time! Some tube feeders have the option of a seed catching tray at the bottom of the feeder so there's never any seed waste.
Squirrel Proof – If squirrels become a nuisance at your bird feeders, then a squirrel proof bird feeder is just what you need. Once squirrels discover there's bird seed out for the taking, they will stop at nothing to get that delicious seed. Weight-activated squirrel proof feeders provide extra protection by closing off the ports when a squirrel jumps on. The ports will continue to stay open under the light weight of the birds that perch. Another option is a caged bird feeder. These work by having a large metal cage around the outside of the feeder, thus preventing squirrels from being able to reach the seed. Your birds can easily fit through the cage to come and go as the please.
Mesh – Mesh bird feeders, such as those made by NO/NO®, feature a large surface area for birds to cling to. The diamond shaped mesh allows seed to be pulled out by tiny beaks, but keeps the rest of seed securely inside. Because birds can cling to and eat from any spot on the feeder, you're certain to see more birds eating from your NO/NO® feeder than any other feeder!
Window – If you want to enjoy the spectacular sights and sounds of songbirds from the comfort of your chair, then a window bird feeder is a great option. Window bird feeders can be mounted directly to the outside of the windows on your house with suction cups. You can then view countless hours of bird feeder watching without ever having to go outdoors. They typically have a small seed capacity, are lightweight, and easy to clean and refill making them great for someone who's just starting out or someone who wants to add another bird feeder to their collection.
Finch – Finch feeders are made to hold the seed type adored by finches – thistle. Thistle seed is a dark, thin seed that provides lots of energy to these tiny birds. Because it's such a small seed, the ports on finch feeders need to be smaller than those bird feeders that hold sunflower or mixed seed. Finch feeders come in all shapes and sizes, and can hold a range of different seed capacities. Some finch feeders even have upside down ports, so those finches that like to eat while hanging upside down can feed undisturbed!
Decorative – If you're looking for something that has all the bells and whistles for the birds, but has some personality for you, then a decorative bird feeder is right up your alley! Decorative bird feeders come in an assortment of fun shapes, colors, styles, and seed capacities.
Hummingbird – Hummingbirds are majestic, tiny flyers that drink sugary nectar from flowers or feeders. The best way to attract hummingbirds is with a hummingbird nectar feeder. These feeders come in many different varieties including glass and plastic. The most common hummingbird feeders are inverted bottle feeders, which dispense nectar into a tray at the base of the bottle by creating a tight vacuum seal inside the feeder. There are also top fill feeders that allow you to easily pour nectar into a wide top opening on the bottle and dispense it into the tray using a plug and float method within the base. Dish style hummingbird feeders are another common feeder type; they simply hold the nectar in a covered dish with ports. Hummingbirds don't always perch when they eat. They often just hover in front of the port and drink while flying. So, some hummingbird feeders don't include perches. It's really up to your preference if you want your hummingbird feeder to include a perch or not, as hummingbirds likely won't care either way.
Oriole – If you want to attract orioles, then an oriole specific bird feeder will do the job! Orioles don't eat seed. Instead, orioles dine on insects, nectar, fruit, and jelly. Perky-Pet® offers a variety of nectar feeders and jelly feeders for orioles. Oriole nectar feeders differ from hummingbird nectar feeders by providing larger ports to accommodate an oriole's beak, and large perches that are more suitable for their larger size. Jelly feeders dispense jelly onto a tray while keeping the rest of the jelly supply fresh inside an inverted container.
Waterers – All birds need water. Attract a larger variety of birds to your yard by providing them with fresh, clean water. Even birds that you won't see at your bird feeders may stop by to quench their thirst at a waterer!

Fuchigami Printing Corporation
Fuchigami had historically produced their flagship magazine publication completely in-house, from its written content to photography, design, and publication. However, the pre-press production for the proofs had proven incredibly tedious and time consuming. When 15 proofs needed to be produced for a 2010 issue, Fuchigami knew there must be a better way. By utilizing their Xerox Color 800 Press, the entire process was automated, from the printing to binding. The quality of the proofs is almost identical to the offset magazine. The company now creates all of their proofs on the Color 800.

PwC supports the board's efforts to add guidance to US GAAP to provide consistency in determining when and how management should assess going concern uncertainties.
In our comment letter on the FASB's proposed ASU, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Going Concern Presumption, we support the board's efforts to add guidance to US GAAP to provide consistency in determining when and how management should assess going concern uncertainties and when to make related disclosures. Our letter also outlines specific recommendations that we would like the board to consider.
The proposal includes a more likely than not disclosure threshold, which implies a precise point (greater than 50%). We recommend that the threshold be defined as a range as this would encourage prepares to consider qualitative and quantitative factors.
As written, the requirement to evaluate and disclose whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern would apply only to SEC filers. We do not believe the standard should draw a distinction between public and private company preparers' responsibilities related to going concern disclosures.
There are areas in which the proposal will create inconsistencies with current auditing standards. Differences between the accounting and auditing standards would create operational challenges and confusion for users. Therefore we encourage the FASB to continue to work with the PCAOB and ASB to ensure that the accounting and auditing standards are compatible.

Hi everyone,
Very often, we have people coming to SSO who are worried that their life will be terribly limited after they've had a spinal fusion. I know we have a lot of very fit and active people here on the forum, so I thought I'd start this thread to show what people CAN do despite having fused spines Please join in if you'd like to! All info is optional, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to put your age or if you don't know the sort of metalwork you have. Also, please don't use this thread to post what you cannot do; this thread is to focus solely on what you can do.
I'll start!
My age: 34
My fusion length: T1-L4
My instrumentation: Harrington Rod T1-L3, Zielke L1-L3, Pedicle screws L3-L4
Things I enjoy doing: long distance cycle rides, climbing mountains, scrambling around under hedges and climbing over gates and stiles looking for geocaches. In my early 20s I went clubbing three times a week. I can also do sit-ups despite my long fusion - you tend to pull using your abdominal muscles rather than bending your back, which is better for you anyway, and it helps if you use a decline bench.

Law enforcement has just confirmed escaped murder suspect Teddy Munet is back in custody.
Honolulu police say Munet was re-captured around 7:25 p.m. Wednesday.
Officers located and arrested Munet on Waimanu Street in Kakaako. Public safety officials say he got out of his handcuffs but could not get the belly cuffs off.
Munet ran off Wednesday morning while being transported to Circuit Court in Honolulu, prompting multiple schools to go on lockdown.
The 29-year-old was not wearing leg shackles and had managed to evade law enforcement since 8:05 a.m. despite an extensive manhunt.
Munet was already charged with second-degree murder, firearms and drug-related charges from a homicide last July. He faces an escape charge and an attempted carjacking charge in connection with Wednesday's incidents.

I read the poem "One More Thought" in the back of the March/April 2010 issue, in "Speak Up." My husband had dementia, died at 65, but had been ill with depression and anxiety for many years. It was probably the beginning of dementia, but he didn't get diagnosed until many years later. I could relate to everything that Rachel Hadas says in that poem.

Passage of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Reauthorization Act of 2016 is an essential component of the Nation's responsibility to bring justice in cases of unsolved and ongoing racial violence and racially-motived killings. The Act authorizes and enables the Department of Justice DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to take required and decisive measures to investigate and resolve cases as fully and fairly as possible.
Through a College of Law initiative, professors Paula Johnson and Janis McDonald and their students are investigating unsolved murders from the civil rights era.
Paula Johnson is a professor of law at Syracuse University College of Law. She was the Sparks Chair at the University of Alabama School of Law in 2008, and served as the Haywood Burns Chair in Civil Rights at CUNY Law School. Read more
Janis McDonald is a Professor of law at Syracuse University College of Law. Before joining the SU law faculty, Professor McDonald was a member of the law firm of Hirschkop & Grad in Alexandria VA where she litigated cases in the federal and local courts. Read more

Narrowband: Iridium Multi-Channel System (IMCS)
The main South Pole satellite systems, SPTR2 and GOES, provide approximately 9.5 hours of broadband connectivity each day. The Iridium Multi-Channel System (IMCS) was developed to provide an on/off continent data communications link to fill in the time period when the main communication satellites are not visible from the South Pole Station.
The main satellite systems transport any data or voice service that can be transmitted via the Information Technology (IT) network, and when they are unavailable, the IMCS automatically activates via the Iridium satellite network. Due to its narrow bandwidth, the IMCS is provisioned to carry only specific critical data, such as emails less than 100 KB, critical science and weather data, and other minor data services.
The IMCS uses a network router to bond 12 independent satellite voice circuits into a single data channel. This advanced technology delivers a gross throughput equivalent to a home user with a 28.8 Kbps dial-up modem. The IMCS uses more than 13.5 million satellite airtime minutes each year.

The hardest stereotypes to break are the ones that are so old as to go all the way back to hunter-gatherer days. After all, how can you argue with biology? Women carry the babies, men have the upper body strength to tackle gazelles. Nobody made that up out of thin air.
But if society has taught us one thing, it's that it becomes way too easy to attach amendments to that bill, claiming that all sexual and gender stereotypes date back to the early days of human evolution. Of course, in reality ...
5"Pink Is for Girls" Is a Recent Idea
For most families, finding out the gender of their baby early on is crucial, since everyone needs to know what color of clothes and toys to get them -- pink or blue? Almost immediately after being born, an infant is outfitted with his or her uniform (a blue T-shirt or pink headband, respectively) so there can be no confusion. You don't want your baby to turn out gay, do you?
"Margaret, you get little Steve out of that outfit this instant."
If it's a girl, don't forget to paint the room pink and get pink curtains. Pink is an inherently girly color that makes us think of flowers and sweet smells and being delicate, while blue is, uh, football, Chevy trucks ... Smurfs ... that topless lizard chick from Avatar ...
But at One Time ...
If it's starting to seem pretty arbitrary, that's because it totally is. Up until the start of World War I, people didn't care what color their kids' diapers were, because it was the freaking 19th century. What color the fabric is under the baby poop is the last thing on your mind when you have to deal with insanely high infant mortality rates, the Civil War, cholera and roving packs of baby-eating wolves (look, the old days were hard, OK?).
"Don't worry, Junior, dogs are your friends!"
Luckily, all our gender issues were heartily resolved by the 1910s, when it was decided that we'd assign colors to each "team": blue was for girls and pink was for boys. No, that's not a typo: A 1918 editorial from Earnshaw's Infants' Department stated that pink was "a more decided and stronger color ... more suitable for the boy; while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." It makes sense: Pink is the color of a nice, raw, manly steak, or the blood of your enemies splattered on a white uniform.
Which is why Matt Stone appears to be far manlier than Trey Parker.
But things had started to switch by 1927, and there was disagreement as to which gender should get which color -- Time magazine even printed a chart showing which stores were advocating each. It wasn't until 1940 that the colors switched and advertisers decided to just go with pink for girls.
This goes beyond colors, too, by the way. For example, take a look at this baby:
Back in the day, thigh-high leather boots were for toddlers, not dominatrixes.
Cute, right? Let's see what she looks like all grown up:
She's the one in the wheelchair.
Yeah, that's FDR in the dress. In those days, it was common to throw every kid in a dress, because who cares? So it turns out the real danger of dressing androgynously is the possibility of your kid growing up to get elected president of the U.S. four times in a row.
4Crying Used to Be a Symbol of Manliness
Pop quiz: What's the difference between Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck? Answer: When they were both stuck with the task of stopping a meteor from destroying the Earth, one of them cried, and the other saved the world.
Pictured: Not the hero.
A man crying in a movie can only mean two things: Either that man has lost his grip, or he's more of a soft, sensitive, romantic type than an action hero. That's why Leonardo DiCaprio has shed some choice tears in nearly every movie he's ever been in, while we're pretty sure Liam Neeson in Taken doesn't even have tear ducts. It's just natural: We see crying men as weak and lame -- pussified, if you will.
Crying men don't get to throat-punch on camera.
But at One Time ...
When the epics of ancient Greece were first transcribed to paper, you can bet it was paper stained with the tears of their sobbing protagonists. Odysseus (the guy who killed a Cyclops and frickin' won the Trojan War) would break down into tears periodically, at least once just because he listened to an emotional song. That's because in ancient Greek culture, "men were expected to cry if their family's honor was at stake." One of the greatest signs of true manliness was to shed tears.
"I weep, for now I must strangle a beautiful creature with my bare hands."
Yeah, but that's Greece, right? They were all kinds of androgynous! On the contrary: This idea was spread through most cultures, and continued through the Middle Ages and up to the Romantic Movement. Japanese samurai, medieval heroes and even Beowulf himself cried like babies throughout their adventures. As recently as the 19th century, male tears were actually celebrated as a sign of honesty, integrity and strength. And not in the "you're brave enough to show your weakness" way, but just as a symbol that you actually gave a crap. And it probably also meant you were confident that no one would mock you, since you had just won a battle or torn the limbs off of a monster with your bare hands.

A Spectacled Owl gets acquainted with HEXBUG through a review of the HEXBUG Spider.
"Many times when we have been in the toy aisle at Target, my kids have noticed the HexBug's. I honestly had no idea what they were or why they would be considered fun. However, we (and I say we because I played too!) had the privilege to get one of the HexBug Spiders to review. You would have thought it was Christmas up in here! They begged me over & over again to open it and could hardly wait for me to take the pictures I needed for this review ("Mooooom! Are you done YET?" "Mooooooom, can we play with it NOW?")"

Does anyone supplement?
I am kind of considering it, maybe. How does that sound for a solid answer, lol! Jonathan has been nursing just about every hour during the day for the past nine weeks. What started as a growthspurt has never seemed to end. He is not a napper either. He will sleep for thirty minutes a time and then wake up. Alot of the time I just let him sleep on me since I know that within 20 mins give or take he'll be up. I really believe that alot of his nursing is due to being tired and not always hunger, but I offer the almighty boob anway He won't take a paci and I have really tried. If he did it would be a little better, kwim? He does however sleep for 5 hours a stretch at night so that is awesome!
I am going to stick it out a little longer and see if he goes to even 90 mins. That would be TREMENDOUS for us It just gets hard to constantly nurse and have two other LOs that are 2 and 5. Mommy's tired
I know in my heart that if I was to supplement it may not change his napping and that would make me really feel badly about it.
Right now I am not back to work, so I can do it and he is my last LO so I know I should enjoy it while I can.

Vt. Senate resumes debate of aid-in-dying proposalThe Associated Press | May 08,2013MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate is poised to resume debate of a proposal that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who request it.
After nearly three hours of debate late Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott broke a 15-15 tie, rejecting a version of Oregon's death-with-dignity law.
The tie, and Scott's tie-breaking vote, mirrored the Senate's February action, when the chamber passed a version that relieved health professionals and family members of any civil or criminal liability when terminally ill patients used prescribed medications to end their own lives.
The version passed by the House contained a number of details that are not in the Senate proposal.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Vermont hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for 2017 will be available Dec.

KCWMC President, Chris Dziuk presented Falls City High School senior Theresa Marie Fenner with the 8th annual Karnes County Wildlife Management Scholarship in the amount of $1,000. Theresa will be attending Texas A&M University in College Station. Her major field of study is Agricultural and Life Sciences. Theresa has excelled academically, ranking 1st in her class, while additionally holding various offices and receiving numerous awards and recognitions. She remained active in many organizations throughout the county, her community, and in Falls City High School. All KCWMC members extend their congratulations and best wishes to Theresa.
Ryan Darr, TPWD Wildlife Biologist for Karnes County, presented population and harvest data from the 2012–2013 deer season. Mr. Darr noted that deer density estimates averaged around 15 acres per deer across Karnes County; however, the exact density varied widely depending on location. Densities in the west and east were near normal, the north was well above normal, and the south was slightly below normal this year. Spotlight surveys conducted by KCWMC continued to show that deer numbers have remained stable or increased across all regions of the county over the past decade. He also pointed out that doe to buck ratios remain skewed toward does averaging around 4 does per buck across the county. Estimates as of survey time (late summer and early fall) showed that 36% of does were observed with a fawn, suggesting higher fawn survival than in past years. Relatively cooler summer temperatures likely helped promote higher fawn survival. Finally, Mr. Darr explained that deer harvest was slow during bow season and early in the general season; however, harvest picked up later in the season making for a good year overall. Many hunters also reported taking a nice trophy buck this year!
Robert Perez, TPWD Upland Game Bird Program Leader, for the State of Texas gave a presentation entitled "The State of Quail: A Texas Perspective." In his presentation, Mr. Perez addressed the decline in northern bobwhite (quail) numbers observed in Karnes County and throughout the state. He noted that the impact of the common culprits blamed for the decline in quail, such as native predators and fire ants, are greatly overshadowed by a lack of suitable quail habitat. Mr. Perez also taught attendees that "purposeful management," which creates suitable quail habitat, is the best way to reverse the decline in quail numbers.
KCWMC President, Chris Dziuk reminded everyone that the Karnes County Wildlife Cooperative will be holding elections during the month of June 2013, for the purpose of electing the President, Secretary/Treasurer, and Directors for the western, southern, northern and eastern regions of the county. Each of these positions will be for a two year term, commencing on October 1 and ending on September 30, 2015.
Procedures for nominating persons for all positions will be provided in the mail. Nominee does not have to be a landowner in Karnes County but must be a member of the Co-op in good standing.
Drawings were held throughout the meeting for various door prizes. KCWMC members and guests were served dinner catered by Polak's Sausage Farm, Inc. Anyone interested in joining the co-op can do so by contacting P. O. Box 537, Falls City, Texas 78113 or calling President Chris Dziuk at (830) 254-3488.

From Legend to Just Great: It Really Is All About the Money
The older I get, the less value I see in vitriol.
I am trying not to be angry right now.
But I am hurt.
I'm human. And humans have feelings — feelings that, obviously, get hurt. I understand Albert Pujols had some hurt feelings too, because Ryan Howard — a mere scrub in comparison — was making more money than him.
Boo hoo.
Once again, a professional athlete tells the world with his actions that the fans don't really matter — that having statues erected in one's honor, charitable foundations in one's namesake and a universal key to the city, forever and ever and ever just ain't worth a pass at a few extra million.
The Cardinals will be fine. Maybe they go hard after Prince now. Or maybe they just move Lance to first and let Freese and Craig become superstars hitting in front of and behind Matt Holliday. Maybe they go and get Jimmy Rollins or one of a bazillion other high value free agents.
But Albert Pujols' legacy will not be fine. No longer will we mention him among legendary Cardinals like Gibson, Brock and Ozzie. His seat next to Stan the Man is no longer available.
That was Albert's choice.
Pujols will be remembered as a great Cardinal, yes, but one who, in the end, was all about the money. I thank him for all the memories — memories I will hold dear to my heart until the day I die.
But now there's no denying that those memories will always be bittersweet. And there's nothing I can do about it. In the end, the fans don't matter. And that's just a reality we're all going to have to deal with on our own.
14 Comments
Condolences, Jeff. Sincerely. But the Cardinals didn't win a WS by Albert alone. They'll be just fine.
In the end, it's usually all about money with these guys. Unless they have the character of Jeff Bagwell or Craig Biggio. I know they took pay cuts to stay with the Astros.
I can understand what you are feeling to some extent, as I've been feeling it as an Astros fan the last couple of years. Rebuilding mode sucks. It's like rats running from a sinking ship but now…the fans are joining them. I have to admit, I'm not feeling like an LOLstros fan at this juncture.
