As you all know, I have been having a lot of problems these last few years. It's been a bumpy road and it is fixing to get bumpier.. About 6 months ago I started having tingeling and numbness in my hands and it has continued to get worse and worse. I finally got a doctor to pay attention to it and do something other than give me pills that knocked me out. I had a cervical MRI same time as I had my yearly MRI for those tumors. The results were already on the computer and my neurosurgeon saw the results before the doctor who ordered the cervical MRI..
When I first went to see my neurosurgeon, he told me he was not worried about those tumors and for me not to worry until he came in looking worried and he's told me that every visit.. December, he came in and said "GOOD NEWS! The tumors are just as they were the first time we saw them! ...Now, what about this cervical MRI, tell me whats going on with that! That has me worried!" so he started asking me a bunch of questions and I answered them.. He looked me in the eyes and said "This isn't good and I am worried! Your neck in a mess, all kind of things wrong in there and serious things that need to be taken care of. I don't like the looks of the MRI or what you have told me!" He gave me time to go see the doctor that had ordered the cervical MRI and to see what he thought. (another neuro doctor that works in the same center).
To make a long story short, he agreed and also reccomends surgery and that it be done asap before permanent damage is done that can't be undone. The vertabras in the back my neck have collasped on top of each other, I got bone spurs in the front pressing into my spinal cord and I need surgeries.... at least TWO, possiably more and none of them any fun, in fact he said they are very dangerous. Surgery #1 he wants to fix the front of my neck, going in the front and 2 or 3 vertabras have to come completely out and replacing them with something man made. These are the ones that are pinching into my spinal cord, just one fall or getting rear ended in a car and that is all she wrote for me.... He wants to wait almost 4 weeks and I have surgery #2 on the back of my neck... There again, he wants to remove those in the back and replace them with what I think he said is wire cages or something, then he will attach all the rest he leaves in there to each other with spacers to keep them from collasping on each other. This surgery he said will be very painful for a long time and I will have to be on pain killers for a pretty long time. Surgery 1 is scheduled for Feb. 14 and surgery #2 is scheduled for March12. According to him, my neck is the worst mess he has ever seen in all his years of practice. In fact, he consulted with another doctor because he didn't know where to begin, what surgery to do first.I told him I always dared to be different and be a problem! LOL!
Now... I am not happy about any of this. I have had troubles with my neck for years and had been warned that it would continue to get worse.This is not how I planned to spend my retirement, I just hope I will stay independant once this is all over with. I don't mind admitting I am terrified of this surgery. Like I told the surgeon, I am not happy about having this serious a surgery, not happy that they are taking out my own body parts and replacing with man made parts.. This is not how I planned to live at this age.. He also told me I will loose about 20% of the range of motion in my neck. The only bright spot in this is that my sister (Brandon's Grandma) is coming to stay with me however long I need her and Marie will be in and out..(They are fixing to put their house on the market and she is super busy and the new house is coming on along, inside work only now... so she has a lot on her mind already.)
So, there are my problems for the new year and what I have to face... I am NOT happy and scared to death! (I have never had this serious serious a surgery before).. Oh, I don't remember exactly what he said but the neurosurgeon said something to the effect that THIS could be the root of all those problems I have had the last 2 1/2 years. I ask that all of you remember me in your prayers and keep a candle lit for me until this is over. I'd appreciate it! Thanks

Sept. 29, 2008 - Five wanted men and two additional suspects were detained during coalition operations targeting al-Qaida in Iraq bomb networks and foreign terrorist cells in and around the Iraqi capital today, military officials reported. Coalition forces operating near Mahmudiyah, about 17 miles south of Baghdad, captured one wanted man believed to be a member of the area's al-Qaida in Iraq foreign terrorist cell. The man, who identified himself to coalition forces, also is believed to have links to other cells in the region and may have connections to terrorists outside of Iraq, officials said.
In Baghdad, forces captured a wanted man believed to be a leader in a roadside-bomb cell and detained two additional men believed to be his associates.
In another operation in Baghdad, coalition troops captured a wanted man believed to facilitate roadside bombs and suicide bombers, officials said. The man is believed to have links to foreign terrorist groups and may be associated with terrorists known to conduct operations against coalition forces, officials said.
During the operation, the suspect identified himself to forces and led them to another location. where two more wanted men were detained.

Just watch a few episodes of Judge Judy or Cops. You'll see all sorts of characters that "write" with arbitrary strands of DNA
...and to verify that we aligned the initial sequences (that we use as guides) correctly in the first place
If by longer reads you mean read the whole thing at once, then yes. The removal of shotgun sequencing techniques would remove much of the cost I would think.
they aren't reading the whole thing at once - mostly because it isn't practical. Think about the shapes involved, and then try to imagine fitting the whole thing through a hole that is purposefully barely large enough for the dna to squeeze through. They are however reading much much larger fragments. How large? no idea, haven't found anything that quantifies it. Wouldn't be surprised if it was in the 10s of thousands of base pairs, though.
Not to my exact needs though:
What I want is a DNA writer that will write realtime. It will look a lot like an old typewriter, but will have only 5 keys, ATCG and U. You push the buttons in the sequence that you want (the keys will actually clack), and then hit the return bar, but instead of the roller sliding over, it will instantly shoot out an eppendorf tube full of that sequence on the side with a nice "ding."
I've asked Santa for one every year, but the one at the mall just said what my parents have be
Nanosprockets! DNA is just tiny, tiny tractor-paper.
All you'll have to do is unpop the write protect tab on the side of the reader. Simple.
If you can read DNA through a fabricated chip, possible next step is fabricating microcircuits from transistors scaffolded on DNA.

Insurance companies will use it to deny health insurance outright or label any diseases that this thing finds as "pre-existing conditions".

There is already a law banning them from doing this.

Yeah, so? If they do it, exactly how do you prove it? And even then if you do prove it by some miracle , all the insurance has to do is say, "Oops, it was an error. We are investigating and we'll correct the problem." They pay a small fine and on they go.
You prove it by the piece of paper that tells you your health benefits was denied because of a pre-existing condition. Your records will show if you've had treatment for it or not. It's not a conspiracy/finger pointing kind of thing. Proof is easily come by.
Well, since you are being a complete nay-sayer to further your own agenda, allow me to respond with some other potential uses of this technology:
Law enforcement will use it to help solve crime.
The innocence project will use it to get wrongfully convicted people out of prison/off death row.
Businesses and private individuals will be able to use it to enhance the security of their homes/offices/factories/etc.
Adopted children will be able to use it to figure out who their biological parents are.
The child support system will be able to use it to weed out those who aren't parents and confirm those who are.
The point I'm trying to make is that technology isn't inherently good or evil. It's what we do with it that matters. I find it disturbing that you couldn't name a single positive use for this technology.
>Insurance companies will use it to deny health insurance outright or label any diseases that this thing finds as "pre-existing conditions".
Sounds like all the more reason to support healthcare reform and to shut people up who equate it with Nazi Germany, or whatever the right complains about in public.
Have to take this DNA test as part of our drug screening. Predisposition towards alcoholism or any other disease or disorder that will send our health care costs through the roof? Well, you don't have the necessary "skills" for this job. Sorry, best of luck finding another job. (Yeah, good luck in proving that we violated the ADA or EEOC!)
nothing but good (TM) can come of this!
Incredibly short sighted. I sequence DNA all the time, it's a valuable tool for biomedical research. If sequencing my samples took a matter of hours instead of days, that would really speed thing up. My research is on neural stem cells. I may be an idiot, but I think my research could eventually lead to some findings that would be useful to many people. Shortening the amount of time it will take me to find stuff is, in my opinion, a good thing, and not just for me. The same is true for most biologists
Say hello to DNA code readers.
"Please insert your DNA in the hole for authentication"
Perhaps this will usher in a golden age of sperm-jacking and blood-letting?
Hasn't the Internet already brought a golden age of sperm-jacking?
Well I would imagine that slowing and controlling the motion of the DNA wouldn't be all that difficult. DNA has a net negative charge due to the backbone. However, how the EM fields they'd use to manipulate it would interact with the circuitry of the reader I do not know. That might be the real challenge.
The New York Times published an article in August about a technology that decoded a human genome for less than $50,000 [nytimes.com]. The inventor speculates that the technology will be able to decode a genome for just $1,000 in 2-3 years.
That being said it will be amazing to see the IBM project succeed. Either way the cost of decoding a genome is dropping so quickly it puts Moore's Law to shame.
From the article: Dr. Quake's DNA sequencing machine, about the size of a refrigerator, works by splitting the double helix of DNA into single strands and breaking the strands into small fragments that on average are 32 DNA units in length.
That's not terribly different than what happens now; we cut things into chunks of X units (say, 400 base pairs), and then use all sorts of tools to guess how to put it all back together. The major problem being something elsewhere mentioned in that article: A computer
Either way the cost of decoding a genome is dropping so quickly it puts Moore's Law to shame.
I don't see what Moore's Law has to do with this. Moore's Law is about the number of transistors doubling every 18 months. It has nothing to do with costs.
the first-ever sequencing done for the Human Genome Project, which cost $3 billion.
It cost a lot more than that. I mean first we had to evolve from amoeba and create a civilization.
And it cost $15 billion for the first person to drive into Boston after the Big Dig. [wikipedia.org] That's creative accounting. [wikipedia.org]
The biggest problem with this sentence is its misplaced prepositional phrase. The Human Genome Project probably cost $3B up to some point, but the sentence may imply that the first sequencing cost $3B. There was a recent article [nytimes.com] in the NY Times discussing this problem.
A reader for all sorts of diseases, especially communicable ones. It'd cut costs in countries with relatively modern health systems by wasting less of medical professionals' time, and since it'd likely be small (and hopefully very cheap) it'd help countries with very poor or non-existent health care systems. Would also be very helpful during/before epidemics break out. I know some of these exist for specific diseases, but we need ones that can test for thousands at once.
A reader specifically for STDs. Would
It's about time someone did this. People have been talking about real nanotechnology for about two decades. Most of what's now called "nanotechnology" is surface chemistry of finely divided powders, or simple self-assembling structures like carbon nanotubes. Real nanotechnology, useful mechanisms made of deliberately placed individual atoms, hasn't been happening much. A DNA reader is one of the few applications where building a very small number of devices at the atomic scale is useful. You don't need self-replicating assemblers turning out vast numbers of nanomachines. Small numbers of devices can be created, slowly, with STM-type devices.
At least readers are safe. DNA writers are going to be an issue.
There is a private company called Pacific Biosciences that is doing something very similar, single DNA molecule sequencing. They managed to get reads from a single DNA molecule, and this was sort of the hot topic at a few computational biolgoy conferences I went to last year. It's not clear who is going to win this race, but I think a lot of people think this is the future of DNA sequencing.
The last thing one knows in constructing a work is what to put first. -- Blaise Pascal

Manipulating Heat Like Light 82
An anonymous reader writes "A new technique allows allows 'thermocrystals' to be created that can manipulate heat (a vibration of the atomic lattice of a material). Predicted manipulations include the ability to selectively transmit, reflect or concentrate heat much like light waves can be manipulated by lenses and mirrors. 'Heat differs from sound, he explains, in the frequency of its vibrations: Sound waves consist of lower frequencies (up to the kilohertz range, or thousands of vibrations per second), while heat arises from higher frequencies (in the terahertz range, or trillions of vibrations per second).' Applications range from better thermoelectric devices to switchable heat insulating/transmitting materials (abstract). Perhaps this will result in better cooling/heating mechanisms or more efficient engines."


text: Hi Guys, I've found the reason for the rewrite issues with litespeed and PHP running under fastcgi. The issue is that fastcgi sends different variables over the fastcgi connection then apache - which results in PHP not interpreting PATH_INFO correctly. If you compare the output from the fastcgi variables below, especially the path_translated and path_info as that is what the PHP fastcgi handlers care about, you will see the obvious error. All the complaints on the forums about PHP saying 'file not found' for this style of URL can be explained in the differences below. Is there any chance if LSWS being updated? I don't really want to change the fastcgi code in PHP to work with LSWS if I can help it, and I haven't checked if LSAPI works correctly or not - but for this particular use case (and I imagine many others where there is a migration from webserverX -> litespeed) this is the best option forward.

2003 Track and Field
Habegger named HCAC Athlete of Week
Habegger named HCAC Athlete of Week for women's track and fieldBy Tim Stried
March 24, 2003
Bluffton College sophomore Amanda Habegger (Berne, Ind./South Adams H.S.) has been named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference athlete-of-the-week for women's track and field for her efforts in two meets last week.
At the Emory University Division III Spring Break Invitational in Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday, Habegger placed fourth in both the 100-meter hurdles (16.65 seconds) and 400-meter hurdles (69.45 seconds). Habegger also ran on the 4x100 meter relay team, which placed third at 51.32, and the 4x400 meter relay team that placed fourth at 4:14.05. Both times are new Bluffton College records. Habegger's performance at Emory led the Beavers to a fifth place finish overall in the 19-team invitational.
Earlier in the week, Habegger helped Bluffton win its first home tri-meet of the season over HCAC-members Defiance and Manchester on Tuesday. She won the 300-meter hurdles (49.14 seconds) and was a member of the winning 4x100 meter relay quartet (52.24 seconds). She also finished second in the 100-meter hurdles (17.04 seconds) and pole vault (7ft.-6in.) and was third in the long jump (13ft.-10in.). Her performances at the tri-meet scored 24 points for the Beavers, which was the highest point total among all competing athletes.
At last year's HCAC Championships, Habegger won the 400-meter hurdles in a school-record time of 67.92 seconds, the fourth-best time in HCAC Championships history.

BROWN, OK -- The Midwest is currently in the 2nd worst drought in recorded history, and Texoma is feeling the heat.
Despite recent rains, parts of Southern Oklahoma are in a drought, and cattle rancher, Jeff Brown is already seeing the effects.
"The next 30 days is the hottest, driest time for us. We'll be lucky to get rain in the next 60 days," said Brown.
The national weather service shows that most of Southern Oklahoma is in a moderate drought. Parts are in a severe drought.
After last summer, the hottest in recorded history, farmers and ranchers are prepared.
"We are in better shape than we were last year, but again, the next 30 to 60 days is really going to tell the story for this year," said Robert Bourne, with the OSU Ag extension office in Bryan County.
A milder winter has helped with more rain and fewer freezes, but ranchers say if the heat doesn't let up soon, they could be in big trouble.
The drought hasn't only affected land and crops, its also affecting ponds and trees. The heat evaporates the water cattle need to drink, which can be up to a tub every day. Dried up ponds can also become mud holes, where livestock can get stuck.
"We're just now fixing to get into the dry weather. Ponds are shrinking everyday," said Brown.
Cattle are also breeding later, which means they're smaller. Small calves can't feed on grass, they have to be grain fed instead, making them more expensive to care for in the summer months.
"One thing that's affecting us too, is the feed prices. As they have the droughts up in the north where they produce the soy beans and corn that we use for our feeds down here, its just going to cause those prices to go up," said Bourne.
But as those prices go up... Brown's determination won't go down.
"I'll survive. I've survived a long time," said Brown.
This year's drought may not be as bad as last year's, but if we continue to go the way we're going with no rain, it could be the second worst in history.

Latest update : 2012-04-06
Underground newspapers in Syria, naked artists in China, and more...
This show is made up entirely of amateur images. We've seen time and time again how images captured by ordinary citizens then uploaded onto the Web can change history, or at least shift the balance of power. This week, we take a look back at some of those moments.
Every day here on France 24 we give the number of those killed by the repression in Syria. The count is now at about 3,500.
However our Observer, Khaled, explains that in his city of Homs, people will soon die not just from bullet wounds. With the city under siege by the security forces, residents are lacking many basic necessities - and winter is fast approaching
Our next Observer took a photo of himself naked – and posted it on the Internet. But he's not crazy, and he's not an exhibitionist, either.
He did this to show his support for Ai Wei Wei, an outspoken artist whom the Chinese authorities aren't big fans of.
Our Observers tells us why he's baring it all in the name of freedom.
And now, a look at some of the images sent in this week by our Observers.
We begin with Richard, a business owner in Chad.
Richard tells us he misses Colonel Gaddafi, because while he may have been a dictator in Libya, he invested a lot of money in Chad. Banks, luxury hotels, banks, large scale farms.. Chadians have the former Libyan leader to thank for all these projects - and many more were still in the works when he died. Richard tells us that now, construction is at a standstill. He's hoping the new Libyan government will quickly resume its economic cooperation with Chad.
Next up, Syria, with Kareem, the editor in chief of a newspaper called Hurriyat, or "Freedoms" in Arabic.
It looks like a regular newspaper - it's local and international news, opinion, cartoons - but it's delivered in a very unusual manner…That's because it's an underground newspaper, written by activists fighting against Bashar Al-Assad's regime. It's distributed door to door. The activists drop off the paper, ring the doorbell, and quickly run away to avoid being seen.
Our Observer says he has no doubt that if these young Syrians get arrested distributing their newspapers, they'll get killed.
Now on to Saudi Arabia, with our Observer Mohammad Alsaeedi.
Mohammed tells us that in his country, there's a very dangerous new job – operating speed radars. Saudis like to drive fast, and some are very angry that speed radars have forced them to slow down.
So what do they do? They tamper with the speed radars themselves, of course, but some also attack those who operate them. This car you see belonged to a speed radar controller. A man shot it using a rifle, and it burst into flames.
This case of road rage had tragic consequences: the driver died in the fire.

Chester County's seasonally adjusted unemployment was 6.3 percent in August, holding steady with July 2012 and August a year ago, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry.
Chester County's unemployment rate was below both Pennsylvania and the nation. Both were 8.1 percent.
Chester County's seasonally adjusted civilian labor force – the number of people working or looking for work – was up 200 in August from July to 267,100.
Resident employment in the county was up 200 in August to 250,300 compared to 250,100 in July.
The number of unemployed residents in the county was even with July at 16,800.

State Sen. Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-9, of Chester was named a "Guardian of Small Business" by the National Federation of Independent Business.
Guardians of Small Business are awarded to Senators and Representatives who voted favorably on key small-business issues at least 75 percent of the time during the current legislative session.
The votes tracked during the 2011-12 session of the Pennsylvania General Assembly are among the highest priorities in the Federation's small-business agenda – legal reform and regulatory relief, tax and fiscal policy, and unemployment and workers compensation reforms.
"On behalf of our members, we thank Sen. Pileggi for being a true and consistent advocate for Main Street small businesses," said Kevin Shivers, NFIB's Pennsylvania State Director.
Gov. Tom Corbett on Tuesday unveiled Pennsylvania Career Coach, a statewide, free online tool designed to help Pennsylvania students and job seekers make lasting career choices.
Developed by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry, Pennsylvania Career Coach will provide up-to-date local employment data such as current and projected job openings, recent job growth areas, estimated earnings and occupations that match with a user's current skills and knowledge, as well as specific educational programs in the local area that will prepare an individual for a given occupation.
Visitors need only provide their first name and ZIP code in order to be able to look at details of more than 800 occupations.
The site provides printable reports that highlight the outlook of specific careers or a comparison of wage potential and skills within a certain occupation or industry.

We are packed up and will be leaving shortly for AA. I have a good feeling about today as I wake up this morning. 616 may stop by our tailgate for awhile and we have a significant number of additional attendees (including some spartys) and I just think it will be a great day. Of course it is always great to be a Michigan Wolverine. Go Blue!

I know he's just another highly recruited high school kid, but does anyone think the team will find a little inner confidence from Dee Hart's committment to Michigan after his HS game last night?
I mean, it was down to us or Bama.
Choosing a team that is coming off two consecutive losing seasons vs playing for one that is on it's way to potentially back to back National Championships.
The Great White Frozen North vs The Deep South.
Further from home vs closer to home.
Don't even get me started on comparing the women (no offense to any reading this).
Anywhere you want to go kid, and he picks Meeechigan - even before we get to the teeth of our conference schedule this year.
It says something about our kids, it says something about our program, and it says something about our coaches. Winners.
It is safe to come to Michigan again. The team is only getting better from here on out. There are only so many scholarships to give out each year - so to any other big named recruits that are still deciding - Dee says, "The water's fine in Ann Arbor, jump on in!"

Later today we will facing two realities: One has us still unbeaten and bowl eligible - the other has us losing to Sparty for the third time in a row and the anti-RR-mob gaining steam.
I rewatched the 2009 game yesterday. We are soooooo much more advanced on offense this year than we were with Tate running around like a middle schooler.
I am praying the d can step up with stops and turnovers.
- October 09, 2010 10:05 AM

I have been adamantly against the 3-3-5 prevent defense. But the more I look at it, I think to myself, "Rich Rodriguez not only a brilliant offensive coach, but by insisting on this 3-3-5, he is brilliant on d as well".
D1 football is a big step up for any player, and most get the opportunity to practice for two full years before they ever see the field. We are not so fortunate.
Our kids may play the best prevent defense in the country, which is a perfect defense to do three things:
1. Slow the game speed down.
2. Teach basic fundementals of good coverage, tackling after the catch and tackling in space.
3. Builds confdence in the young players by successfully doing #1 & #2.
The 3-3-5 has set a foundation for these kids, and I believe it has done all of the above for them as they grow in their positions.
Yes we have been gashed deep a few times (ND) this year, but Cam Gordon has also contained well, layed the wood on some receivers across the middle, and leads the team in interceptions (2) and return yards after pick (35). I we played man coverage, I fear he would have been gashed considerably more often and perhaps lost his confidence by now. Same goes for the rest of them.
I think Rich knows his offense is unstoppable, and played the 3-3-5 because he could still win with it, and it gave his kids the most game speed playing time. It worked.
With Sparty, I think we'll see a consistent 4 man front - something they didn't see much film on, or prepare for. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect more pressure on Cousins and more errors on his part with more sacks, throwing the ball away, and maybe a pick or two.
All we need to do is make a few D stops - a few 3 & outs, or a single turnover we can capitalize on. We get up two scores and we never look back. But, we really only need one more score to win.
Sparty must play a perfect game at every position, on both sides of the ball to beat us today. Zero mistakes. That's not going to happen.
I could care less about the final score as long as we beat them, even by one thin point and get the W. My heart might not be able to take it again, but I am confident if we need to, we can make the one stop necessary to beat them.
I really wish this game started in 8 minutes instead of 3:08

I still hate 3:30 games. (Except next weeks cause that gives us time to tailgate with Bob!)

It looks like we are the little brother now. As for recruiting, maybe the kids in state will pick the team that has the better looking uniforms. That will be our only hope.

can anyone help me out...I am stuck here in OH and can usually hear the game if I'm unable to watch it, but haven't been able to find the station this year.
Unfortunately, I have been able to watch the entire game today and OMG!!! Ouch!!! Have to say, it seems some of our weaknesses have been found...hahaha (insert heavy sarcasm here.)

Stephanie Edwards' quest to become the next "American Idol" was cut short Wednesday night.
The Savannah singer garnered the fewest of 30 million votes cast by "Idol" fans, host Ryan Seacrest revealed on the live results show.
Edwards teared up at the news, but she smiled as the show rolled a video retrospective of her past performances. She was openly crying as the credits rolled.
A half-dozen or so friends and family members had gathered at Loco's Grill and Pub on Broughton Street in downtown Savannah to watch the show.
The atmosphere was festive at the beginning of the program. They cheered when Stephanie appeared with the rest of the 11 remaining contestants in a Ford commercial.
When Seacrest announced that Stephanie and Chris Richardson were in the bottom two, however, faces grew glum.
"I'm extremely nervous and upset," Stephanie's sister, Corie, 14, said during the commercial break.
She flipped open her cell phone to call her parents who were watching at home. Her aunt, Wanda Edwards, was stunned.
"What's going on? I can't believe he said that!" Edwards said.
Corie was on the phone for the entire two hours after Tuesday's show and figures she cast about 150 votes.
She said that although the sisters talked about three times a week, they had never entertained the possibility of Stephanie leaving "American Idol" so soon.
"I don't think she expected this," Corie said.
The judges loved Stephanie at the beginning of the competition, but their enthusiasm waned as the weeks progressed.
Her rendition of Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" on Tuesday night elicited a "So what?" response from Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson.
When Seacrest announced Stephanie was going home, the group at Loco's fell silent. Corie was stunned.
"I'm really shocked," she said. "But I think she'll still pursue her career."
Corie believes it came down to Stephanie's song choices. Wanda theorized that Stephanie's confidence began to lag after her Hollywood stylist cut her hair "too short."
In a telephone interview after the show, Stephanie's mother, Dewanda Edwards, said it was unfortunate that voting was based on "popularity and not just vocals."
"I appreciate all the votes Savannah gave her," Wanda said.
"Everything happens for a reason. Bigger things are coming for her."
Corie wasn't sure when she would get to speak to her big sister, but she knows exactly what she is going to say: "That I love her."

Tablet Man
With more than 2,000 exhibitors fighting for the CES spotlight, Accessory Power knew it had to do something special to avoid being lost in the shuffle. Turns out, that something special was a body suit adorned with tablets.
Tablet Man -- or "TabMan" for short -- wandered the halls of CES with 12 tablets strapped to his body, including one that served as a 3-D grid for his face. The tablets showcased the different brands and products made by Accessory Power, which range from multimedia cables to rechargeable batteries. Tablet Man's high-tech suit was a hit among attendees, who were snapping pictures of him at every turn.

Judge in Porn case has bestality flick on web page
"What a place, even the Federal Justices are Queer for Animal Sex !
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Alex Kozinski is more accustomed to appearing on lists to fill U.S. Supreme Court vacancies than headlines involving pornographic scandals.
But on Wednesday, the chief judge of the country's largest federal appeals court was forced to suspend an obscenity trial he was presiding over after sexually explicit images posted to his personal Web site became public.
The Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site that Kozinski had posted sexual material on his personal Web site and then blocked access after being interviewed about it Tuesday evening.
Kozinski, 57, told the Times he thought the material on his site, which included a video of a man cavorting with a sexually aroused farm animal, couldn't be seen by the public. The judge said he didn't believe any of the images were obscene.
"Is it prurient? I don't know what to tell you," he told the newspaper. "I think it's odd and interesting. It's part of life."
He then suspended until Monday the trial of Ira Isaacs, who is charged with obscenity for selling movies depicting bestiality and extreme fetishes involving feces and urination. Appellate judges such as Kozinski occasionally handle trial court cases.
Kozinski told lawyers in the case he wanted to give them time to consider whether to ask that he be disqualified. Federal prosecutors were discussing their options, Department of Justice lawyer Kenneth Whitted said.

THQ will survive. Not thanks to the millions it raised during its recent sale alongside Humble Bundle, but thanks to the new deal it's struck with the Clearlake Capital Group. The publisher behind Darksiders II and Saints Row The Third has entered into Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, liquidating assets but keeping its core studios staffed and working on a number of games.
"Clearlake is even providing the company the money it needs to keep working on the products as the process plays itself out," wrote THQ president Jason Rubin in a message on the publisher's website Wednesday, "And importantly, when the purchase is complete, Clearlake has committed to invest additional ample capital to let us finish the games we are making and continue making games going forward. In short, they are investing in a new start for our company."
Not much is known about what THQ has in production, though. Obsidian Entertainment is still plugging away on South Park: The Stick of Truth for THQ, while Volition is hard at work on Saints Row 4. THQ's Chapter 11 filing reveals that the company has a number of other titles brewing in the background.
With Darksiders II complete and series mastermind Joe Madureira leaving the company, it's unknown if studio Vigil will continue its tale of four apocalyptic horseman. It is, however, working on a game codenamed Crawler. This could be a codename of Darksiders III, but seeing as crawling isn't a regular activity for the hulking protagonists in that series, it's likely something new.
Company of Heroes creator Relic Entertainment is working on a 2014 title called Atlas. The company used to also work on Warhammer 40,000 games, but that license was recently acquired by Sega. Relic is planning to release Company of Heroes 2 in 2013.
Former Valve studio Turtle Rock Studios is making a game called Evolve according to the filing. Turtle Rock announced that it was developing a game for THQ in 2011 but nothing has ever been shown. The group's last title was Valve's Left 4 Dead, which came out in 2008, though Turtle Rock did help with downloadable content for that game and its sequel.
Finally, THQ Montreal is working on a title called 1666. The publisher filed a trademark for the game earlier in 2012. THQ opened its Montreal studio in 2010 with Patrice Desilets, creative director of the first two Assassin's Creed games, as its lead.

I still remember when I found a used copy of Helen Gurley Brown's landmark 1962 bestseller, "Sex and the Single Girl," nearly 40 years after its heyday.
By then it was the era of Carrie Bradshaw and "Sex and the City," but as a newly single woman myself (fresh from a broken engagement), I reveled in Helen Gurley Brown's campy, fearless tips about making the most of your freedom—and your assets.
In an era of Kennedy-esque elegance and Marilyn's pinup appeal, Brown—who died Monday, at the juicy age of 90—once admitted that she wasn't "bosomy or brilliant." She had grown up in a poor family. She dubbed herself a "mouseburger."
Yet Brown unleashed an era of liberation for women that was unprecedented. And despite 32 years as the racy editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, it wasn't just a sexual revolution.
Above all Brown championed women's self-sufficiency. "A job is where the money, the success and the clout come in," she once said. She worked hard for the glamorous life she created, and she believed Everywoman could do the same.
A year after "Sex and the Single Girl" came out, Betty Friedan published "The Feminine Mystique," officially launching the feminist movement's intellectual side.
But I often wonder whether Friedan would have gotten as much traction, if Helen Gurley Brown hadn't blazed a trail first—wearing fishnets and a mini-dress, no less.

Hello. I'm trying to do this task: POLSKI SPOJ - Problem LCP: test your programming skills on-line
Short translate: We have T - test numbers and then in next T lines words. The task is to create suffixes of each word and then compute LCP array for each of them. We sort suffixes assuming that on the end of each of them is the greatest unique character. So if we have word ababa we have following order of suffixes:
And the LCP array of this word is: 3 1 0 2.
I tried to use suffix arrays and compute LCP based on them, but i got time limit exceeded, so i need something faster. I was trying to make suffix tree using Ukkonen algorithm, but I failed. I will be grateful for every help.

Valve's Gabe Newell casually mentioned sales of Portal 2 during a talk at Games for Change in New York City. Three million is the number he told the audience, as captured by Joystiq.
While Newell didn't offer any detail about retail and Steam sales, that is an incredible accomplishment given the game's April release and full retail price point. By the time of Portal 2's launch, the original game had sold four million retail copies. At this rate, it seems likely that the sequel will match the sales of the original. And with the money made from Portal 2, Valve will finally be able to complete development of Half-Life 2: Episode 3. That's how it works, right?

By Tiernan Ray
RBC Capital's Amit Daryanani today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of enterprise storage vendor EMC (EMC), and a $30 price target, writing that the comapny may miss Q2 estimates, perhaps reporting $5.5 billion in revenue and 40 cents EPS versus Street consensus of $5.61 billion and 42 cents, given a delay in its "VNX" line of equipment that blends traditional disk drives and flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs).
Updates to the VNX line promise much higher capacity and throughput, he notes:
Both line-ups (we estimate combined ~15% revenue) should get a major software upgrade 24 months after their initial launch, which would provide a robust integration of flash and HDD's within the array, enabling the high-end VNX2 to have 1M IOPS (currently 200K). We expect maximum capacity shipment with VNX2 to be ~16PB (vs. currently 4PB) and total bandwidth of 28 GB/sec (currently 12). Interestingly, the VNX2 should become an attractive option for customers currently deploying low-end VMAX arrays
But with what he expects will be a delay in the new capabilities, he sees the company's "unified backup and recovery" business, which contains VNX and also the Data Domain asssets, which make up as much as a quarter of revenue, will likely see a 5% quarter-over-quarter decline.
Daryanani doesn't say where he gets his information that the product line is delayed.
Of note, Daryanani opines that Amazon.com's (AMZN) Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform may be eating into some sales of EMC's "DDUP" product for data de-duplication: "DDUP is facing incremental headwind in the form of Amazon S3 offerings, which is widely being used by customers as an option for backup/recover, especially in the SMB/SME segments."
EMC reports Q2 results on July 24th.

Front struts are adjustable or not and you cant switch the inserts the brackets are all welded to the strut assembly. Adjusters shown below in the photo, if they aren't adjustable they just don't have that. I believe the 4wd ones have a different height for the lower perch but I haven't taken the time to get them all side by side before. I believe a 233024 from KYB is going to work on any 4wd but remaining units that I can order are not adjustable. $60/ea

I'll rephrase- I have some inserts, I have several strut asembllies that I may use them in, both adjustable and not. these inserts are not the part thats welded that you referanced. They drop inside of that part. by inserts I mean the actual shock absorber part of the strut assembly. the only thing that could be different for the shock part between 4 wd and not would be travel, which I don't see why that would need to be different, since it doesn't look like the 4wd struts are actually any longer, they are just adjustable in that if you compress the spring, it is stiffer and your car will not sit as low on the suspension.
anyways i don't know for sure if my inserts are for the adjustable (4wd) or not (2wd).
I think the confusion is that there are aftermarket (kyB, monroe, etc) struts out now where the shock comes with the rest of it, and can't be removed, where I believe the original subaru struts were like a sleeve for these inserts.

also shawn- do you know if right and left strut assemblies can be interchanged? It would seem to me that you mount the top in the right direction and you are good, but I don't know for sure
Posted 08 October 2012 - 04:56 PM
Should be able to do either side, all the part numbers on my systems are just front or rear for anything before 84. I didn't know they used to be an insert without the perch on the 80-84, I knew they were for the prior generations.

Oak Tree Country Club - East Course
Edmond, Okla. • June 18 - 21
EDMOND, Okla. — Edmond native Geoffrey Shaw carded a 3-under-par 67 to sit atop the Boys Division leaderboard Tuesday after the first round of the OSSO Junior at Oak Tree. In the Girls Division, Crystal Reeves of Broken Arrow, Okla., shot an opening-round 3-over-par 73 for the lead.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the OSSO Junior at Oak Tree is a 54-hole, stroke play event being held at the Oak Tree Country Club — East Course. The 144-player field features juniors from 16 states and Canada. The course is being played at 7,036 yards for the Boys Division and 5,751 yards for the Girls Division.
Shaw, who finished second at the Rand Graphics-Wildcat Golf Wichita Junior Championship two weeks ago and fourth at this event last year, was under-par on both sides of the course, shooting 33 and 34, respectively.
"My putting was working well for me today," Shaw said. "I'm glad I could get out and get a good start early."
Shaw was on track for an even better day, being 5-under after chipping in for birdie on No. 15, but ran into trouble with bogeys on Nos. 16 and 17. He fought back to finish with a solid par on No. 18 to end the day on a positive note.
"I had a couple bad shots there and I don't care who you are, No. 17 is just tough," Shaw said. "If I can putt as well as I did today that would be great for the rest of the week."
Behind Shaw in second place is Nathan Chambers of Purcell, Okla., with an 2-under-par 68. William Kropp of Edmond, Okla., and Talor Gooch of Midwest City, Okla., are tied for third after carding 1-under-par 69s. Scott Willman of Prairie Village, Kan., is in fifth with an even-par 70.
Reeves sits on top of the Girls Division after finishing the day with three birdies, four bogeys and a double bogey. She is looking for her first top finish in an AJGA event.
"Today was a little rough, I wasn't hitting the ball like I was all week," Reeves said. "I was missing greens like crazy."
She said she will look for some improvement in her short game as she continues on through the next two rounds.
"It was an up and down kind of day," Reeves said. "I just want to come out of [a round] and feel like I played well."
Emma Lavy of Fayetteville, Ark., and Gina Bortoletto of The Woodlands, Texas, are tied for second behind Reeves with 4-over-par 74s.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest Association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 49 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, which is in its third decade of AJGA support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004. In 2007, after 12 years of support, Polo Ralph Lauren became the AJGA's second Premier Partner.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 160 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 300 wins. AJGA alumni include Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk, Stewart Cink, Davis Love III, Cristie Kerr, Pat Hurst, Paula Creamer, Brittany Lincicome, Morgan Pressel and Julieta Granada.
Wednesday's second-round tee times will run from 7:30 - 9:09 a.m., and from noon - 1:39 p.m. at the Oak Tree Country Club — East Course. For more information about the OSSO Junior at Oak Tree, please contact Tournament Director Darren Nelson at (678) 617-2421.

This Breakfast Topic has been brought to you by Seed, the Aol guest writer program that brings your words to WoW Insider's pages.
A few months back, my wife and I were watching television, when suddenly my ears perked to the sound of a familiar phrase. The Big Bang Theory was talking about our beloved game! I had heard that this show employs people to keep its science talk somewhat authentic, so I listened curiously to see where they were going with this. Unfortunately, it appears that they don't exercise the same level of care when talking about video games.
"You know World of Warcraft?" Wolowitz asked Penny.
"The online game? Sure," she replied.
"Well, did you know you that the characters in the game can have sex with each other?
Hollywood has always treated video games more like a prop than a real live hobby, obviously. You're usually lucky when gaming characters actually continue mashing on buttons while they deliver lines, so an inaccuracy like this isn't exactly a surprise. Moments later, though, our phone started to ring. My wife picked it up and I faintly heard my father-in-law asking in his heavy Oklahoma accent, "What does Brian do in that game he's always playin', anyway?" She explained that -- despite tales of Moon Guard -- there is no mechanic in the game to have sex. Still, though ... to this day, when he asks about our "raider game," I swear I can see an incredulous eyebrow rise ever so slightly.
Society and the media haven't always done their best to paint the MMO genre positively or accurately. News stories constantly highlight the worst-case scenarios, and innocent jokes like this can send the wrong impression to the uninitiated. Is there anyone in your life who is convinced that these stereotypes and falsehoods are true? Did you ever try to educate them, or do you just nod your head and laugh to yourself when they mention the game?

In 1998 I moved to Indiana to be with my new hubby. I owed a Suzuki automatic 450, but he did not have a motorcycle. So he shared his dream of owning a little sports car convertible. We sold the motorcycle & found this little pimento Triumph Spitfire 1500 in Michigan with only 35k on it. The lady who sold it had owned it for 20 years and did not drive it much, her name was "Molly" so the car assumes the name.
Since buying our little car, we have joined many caravan type tours and become members in a couple of good car clubs. My husband (Howard Baugues) for the past six years has been editor of "Spitfire & GT6 Magazine" after many years in various offices of NASS car club. I am now the Membership Chairperson for NASS "North American Spitfire Squadron" a great group of owners who share restoration information & often share parts they have laying around.

Story highlights
- "We're a culture, not a costume" ad campaign goes viral, generates race debate
- Memes feature dog with picture of man in dog costume, Kurt Cobain and image of Nickelback
- Poster layout, themes lend themselves to exploitability, knowyourmeme editor says
- "Our main purpose was to have a dialogue," student says
Ohio University student Taylor See and her friends expected some controversy to arise from a project to raise awareness of what it means to dress up as an ethnic stereotype for Halloween. But they weren't expecting the comparisons to robots or dogs.
The campaign, "We're a culture, not a costume," features students of different races holding pictures of costumes of racial or ethnic stereotypes: a geisha, a suicide bomber, a Native American, a "Mexican on a donkey," a person with their skin painted black and a metal grill in their mouth.
Brainchild of Students Teaching About Racism in Society, the campaign drew international media attention, generated intense online debate and perhaps most telling, it became the object of several Internet spoofs.
The memes also come in various forms: a real golden retriever with a picture of a man in a dog costume, a na'vi from the film "Avatar" holding a picture of a man painted blue, a LOLcat, a dalek with a picture of a dalek, a unicorn with a unicorn, and so on.
See, who designed the imagery, never expected it to get this big. Her first reaction? "Wow. A conversation is happening, because that's all we wanted, to make people think."
Then came the realization that their original message was getting lost in the mockery, she said.
"These people that are putting out characters of vampires, dogs, robots, they don't have anything better to do with their time?" she said. "It's silly. We're talking about actual race, actual people that are actually affected. I guarantee you robots and dogs are not affected by what we're trying to say."
The most startling was an image of a monkey holding a picture of the black student featured in the original poster, she said.
"That was just awful. The fact that people think that's OK shows why this discussion is still important and relevant, unfortunately," she said.
By their nature, these kinds of memes have a way of trivializing the original message, especially when it comes to ad campaigns or PSAs dealing with social issues, said Brad Kim, editor of knowyourmeme.com, a site that tracks viral stuff on the Web.
This campaign in particular has a high "exploitability" quotient because it's about race and stereotypes, perennial hot topics on the Internet, where people can comment anonymously and therefore more freely than they would face-to-face, he said.
The posters' design also sets up the objects for exploitation, practically beckoning people to deploy their Photoshop skills to play around with various themes, he said. Kim cited a derivative featuring grunge icon Kurt Cobain holding a picture of the lead singer of Nickelback.
"This would be a perfect example of a movement or campaign with a fixed set of messages that turned into a visual mad lib and turned into something bigger," he said. "I don't think they're all necessarily arguing against the campaign or lashing out against it, but it does the subtle job of trivializing the subject's topic, which is the Internet's subtle way of saying, 'No, I beg to differ.' "
Most of the reaction the campaign received directly has been positive, said the group's president, Sarah Williams. Other schools in the United States have asked for permission to use the posters, along with a primary school teacher from South Korea.
"Our main purpose was to have a dialogue and discussion and make people think and we've definitely hit a nerve with people," she said.
On the other end of the spectrum, they've also received hate mail, including an e-mail with the n-word.
Some criticism takes the students to task for being too sensitive and taking themselves too seriously. Others questioned whether the same concept applied to white people, or costumes of leprechauns or rednecks.
"I find this article offensive and stereotypical. Just because I'm white doesn't mean that I take my Halloween costume as anything more than a costume. Get a life Ohio University," one CNN.com commenter said.
"Whew. I'm going to wear a XXXL suit and stuff it full of pillows, draw some fake beard on my face, add some extra chins, shuffle around dancing badly and go as Chaz Bono. But I'm white, so this is not offensive," said another.
The idea to highlight the issue of racial and ethnic costumes resulted from the prevalence of students going in blackface last Halloween to dress like rappers and Tiger Woods, Williams said. An off-campus party last year also encouraged guests to come painted black and dressed "ghetto."
"We don't think we're being too sensitive. I think that's just the reaction from the majority culture," Williams said, "It's hard to put yourself in that position of being a minority when you're not a part of the minority. Usually the majority culture can exploit and make fun of that."
Stereotypes have the power to hurt, especially when they embody false or archaic notions about someone, added See, who is black. Not all Mexicans travel on donkeys or wear sombreros, just like not all of them are illegal. And not all black people are rappers or young single mothers or behave like Tiger Woods.
"I fight every day to prove I'm not a stereotype," she said. "I get good grades, I try to be articulate, but it's frustrating because costumes like that tell me that all of my efforts are fruitless because this is what people think of me at the end of day."

New York regulators expect to reopen their rulemaking process for shale gas drilling using hydraulic fracturing, shedding doubt on whether a 4-year-old moratorium on development will be lifted before next year.
Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman Emily DeSantis said Sunday that the agency expects to miss a Nov. 29 deadline for finalizing regulations, making it necessary to reopen the process with at least one public hearing.
DeSantis said it's "undetermined" whether the overall environmental impact review could be completed and permits issued while the regulations are revisited. DEC Commissioner Joe Martens announced recently that no final decision on whether to allow shale development would be made until a health impact review is completed.
While thousands of shale wells have been drilled in Pennsylvania, opposition has been intense in New York.

Nola Throws Seven No-Hit Innings to Down Hokies
BATON ROUGE, La. – Junior right-hander Aaron Nola pitched seven innings of no-hit baseball Friday night as LSU downed Virginia Tech, 9-0, at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
LSU (5-0) returns to Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field Saturday to face Toledo at 6 p.m. The contest will follow a 1 p.m. matchup between Texas Southern and Virginia Tech (1-2), which is free to the public.
The LSU-Toledo game can be heard in Baton Rouge on WTGE 100.7 FM. Live stats, video and audio will be available at LSUsports.net.
Nola (2-0) fired 87 pitches and recorded eight strikeouts and one walk without allowing a hit. It was the deepest an LSU pitcher worked without surrendering a hit since April 15, 1995, when right-hander Brian Winders recorded 8.2 hitless innings at Ole Miss.
Alden Cartwright and Zac Person relieved Nola for the final two innings and allowed a hit apiece. LSU has recorded three shutouts in its first five games of the 2014 season.
"Aaron Nola was simply brilliant tonight," said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. "In my mind, he's the best pitcher in the country, and he certainly demonstrated it with this outing. It would have been nice to allow him to keep going after seven innings, but he had thrown nearly 90 pitches in an early-season game, and it was in Aaron's best interest that he come out of the game at that time. We've got a long, challenging regular-season ahead of us, and we need a healthy Aaron Nola leading us throughout the year."
LSU struck for four runs in the second inning after a RBI single by sophomore centerfielder Andrew Stevenson was followed by a three-run home run from designated hitter Sean McMullen.
The middle of the order sparked a three-run third inning for the Tigers. Shortstop Alex Bregman started the inning with a double to the right-center field gap. Second baseman Conner Hale then reached on an error before catcher Chris Chinea advanced the runners on a groundout to second.
Third baseman Christian Ibarra then lined a two-RBI double to left and advanced to third on the throw. First baseman Tyler Moore plated Ibarra on a hard single to the first base side.
The Tigers produced two runs in the fourth inning with a Chinea sacrifice fly and Ibarra's RBI single to right-center field to plate leftfielder Mark Laird.
Bregman has reached base safely in all five games this season. McMullen and Ibarra matched career highs with three RBI apiece. Ibarra also matched a career high with three hits. In innings two through four this season, the Tigers have outscored opponents 22-0.
Virginia Tech's Brad Markey (1-1) was charged with the loss. Markey went 2.1 innings and gave up seven runs, one earned, on six hits and a walk.

Pteropus mariannus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Pteropus mariannus Desmarest, 1822
Common Name(s):
Pteropus keraudren Quoy & Gaimard, 1824
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered B1ab(iii,v) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Allison, A., Bonaccorso, F., Helgen, K. & James, R.
|Lamoreux, J. (Global Mammal Assessment Team), Racey, P.A., Medellín, R. & Hutson, A.M. (Chiroptera Red List Authority)
Listed as Endangered because its extent of occurrence is less than 5,000 km2, with all individuals in fewer than five locations (estimated to be three), its distribution is severely fragmented (though there is some movement between islands), and there is continuing decline in: the extent and quality of its habitat (due to humans and to introduced species), and in the number of mature individuals because of illegal hunting (especially after typhoons) and predation by the brown tree snake. Stochastic events are also a potential, direct threat to the species (e.g., typhoons and volcanic eruptions).
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species ranges from the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the Ulithi Atoll (and possibly from nearby atolls) in the Federated States of Micronesia.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Guam; Japan (Nansei-shoto); Micronesia, Federated States of ; Northern Mariana Islands

|This species has declined dramatically in Marianas. Most islands now have relatively few remaining bats. The island of Pagaen (Northern Marianas Islands) possibly has the largest population of this species; about 2,500 animals were present in the early 1980s (Wiles et al. 1989), but this is probably more than are present now (A. Brooke pers. comm.). There were estimated to be 8,700 to 9,000 bats remaining on the entire Marianas island chain in 1983 (Wiles et al. 1989).
In the Northern Marianas, the population in 2001 was estimated at 6,975 to 7,475 individuals (Johnson 2001). These estimates, however, are out of date and probably too high (A. Brooke pers. comm.). They do not account for the eruption of Anatahan that has killed most bats on that island, and no bats were recorded on Sarigan in 2005. Furthermore, a number of islands in the Northern Marianas were not surveyed by Johnson (A. Brooke pers. comm.).
According to Cruz et al. (2000) between the years 1983 and 2000 there was an 40 percent decrease in the population of fruit bats (the population decreased from 7,000 individuals in 1983 on 6 islands of the Marianas, to about 4,200 in 2000. On the island of Guam, the population is about 100 individuals, and expected to be extirpated within 10 years (A. Brooke pers. comm.).
The population on Ulithi Atoll was small (estimated at about 1,200 bats), but dense, in 1986 (Wiles et al. 1990). No assessment has been made since then (G. Wiles pers. comm.).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It is found in areas of native tropical forest, coastal strand, and mangroves. Animals roost along cliffs where human disturbance is minimal and there is some protection from winds (Mickleburgh et al. 1992). Young have been reported throughout the year (Flannery 1995).
|Major Threat(s):
|The species is considered a delicacy on Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands and as a consequence it is illegally hunted. The introduced brown tree snake, Boiga irregularis, has been a major predator on young P. mariannus and has become a great threat to the long-term survival of this species on Guam (reduces recruitment); the snake may also be present on Saipan. The species also has a limited distribution and habitat is threatened by ongoing deforestation for development. It is susceptible to typhoons, which are common in the area. Volcanic eruptions on Anatahan are a major threat, since regular eruptions cover large portions of the island in ash. Overgrazing by introduced deer, feral pigs, and goats prevents forest regeneration and promotes the invasion of introduced plants on many of the Mariana Islands (G. Wiles pers. comm.). On the island of Guam, overgrazing by deer is a major threat (the deer populations on Guam are among the highest of any ungulate worldwide) (A. Brooke pers. comm.).
|Conservation Actions:
This species is listed on Appendix I of CITES. Also, it is now considered a threatened species in Guam under the US Endangered Species Act and the CNMI. It was formerly listed as Endangered on Guam and not listed all in the CNMI (A. Brooke pers. comm.). There is also a recovery plan already for Guam, and a new recovery plan for Guam and the CNMI will be prepared (A. Brooke pers. comm.).
The species has been declared locally threatened, and hunting is illegal without a special permit. Hunting regulations should be enforced in Guam and throughout its distribution. The species has been recorded from the Guam National Wildlife Refuge. Measures to control predation by the brown tree snake on remaining populations on Guam are needed. There are ongoing studies into the current distribution and population status of this species. According to a government report, the population fluctuations on the island of Rota are a high priority for research, as are investigation of migration between islands. The species is now listed as threatened throughout the Marianas under the US Endangered Species Act.
