Held April 15-18 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Conference Center in Nashville, Tenn., the BICSI 2008 Spring Conference drew more than 2,100 information transport system (ITS) registered attendees, exhibitors, and visitors to a forum where installers had a chance to show their skills for the first time. A total of 23 ITS installers and technicians competed in a skills contest right on the exhibit show floor, with the goal of becoming the BICSI "Installer of the Year."
Jessie Spearman, an ITS technician with Vision Technologies, Inc., Glen Burnie, Md., won the first-ever challenge. "I am very excited to be able to say that I'm the BICSI Installer of the Year," said Spearman. "The $5,000 check that comes with it isn't bad either."
The installation skills contest tied in well with the announcement of a new ITS Installation Methods Manual, 5th edition. This vendor-neutral manual includes detailed information on pathways, spaces, associated hardware, and structured cabling/optical fiber systems within commercial buildings.
Because increasing energy efficiency amid rising demand for network bandwidth connectivity is so important today, the recently finalized ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-10 standard was also discussed throughout the conference. This new standard defines performance and testing requirements up to 500 MHz for Augmented Category 6 (Cat. 6A) cabling systems to support the operation of IEEE 802.an 10GBASE-T Ethernet applications. Vendors are now promoting their cable and hardware offerings as being able to deal with the two primary alien crosstalk sources: alien near-end crosstalk and alien far-end crosstalk.
Along with specific testing/sampling methods, the installation recommendations of the new TIA standard will be important to ITS professionals, because minimally compliant solutions won't provide the needed stability and lack the headroom or performance margins.
Conference session highlights
In "Maximizing the Benefits of Screened and Shielded Cabling Systems," Valerie Maguire, The Simon Co., Watertown, Conn., underscored the need to control alien crosstalk when specifying 10GBASE-T capable media. Maguire described the characteristics and construction of F/UTP (foil) type cable, which supports Cat. 6A and lower grades of cabling, and S/FTP (shielded/foil) cable, which supports Cat. 7 and higher grades of cabling. The use of either an overall foil or fully shielded pairs in the cable assures superior performance compared to unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling. While noting that these cables are gaining wide acceptance, Maguire dispelled a number of common myths surrounding these cable types, such as the misperception that they act as antennas and generate ground loops.
With the ratification of the 10GBASE-T (802.an) standard in 2006, IEEE identified two existing cabling systems to run 10Gb/s speeds over a full 100 meters — calling them Class E/Cat. 6 Foil Twisted Pair (FTP) or Class F/Cat. 7. In addition, a new cabling system was identified for full 100-meter distances: Augmented Cat. 6, Cat. 6A, or Class EA.
In "Re-Cabling an In-Patient Hospital Facility," Jim Flynn, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, N.H., described a major upgrade at the center that involved a 400-patient tower and construction of 10 new telecom rooms, which involved integration of new equipment into existing voice and data backbones. Flynn's presentation was a good example of how the health care industry is increasing its use of sophisticated diagnostic, patient-monitoring, and treating techniques, which are supported on a wide range of evolving cabling systems.
In "Fiber Certification: The Impact of a New Standard for Multimode Fiber Measurements," Dr. Andre Girard, EXFO, Quebec, Canada, reviewed the need for a common set of metrics and measurement to ensure repeatable results in using an OTDR to test this type of optical fiber.
In "Bend-Optimized Fiber in FTTx Applications," David Massarese OFS, Sturbridge, Mass., made a case for the use of recently developed optical fiber constructions that can be installed in dwelling units without suffering any degradation. Essentially, fibers being deployed in homes and apartments, for HDTV and other demanding applications, are subject to tight bends and rough installation practices. Massarese outlined the development of the latest standards, technologies, and products now available for this growing application.
In "A Quantitative Comparison of High Efficiency AC vs. DC Power Distribution for Data Centers," Wahid Nawabi, APC MGE, West Kingston, R.I., described the efforts to increase the efficiency of both the electric power equipment and the IT power supplies as a way to decrease overall electrical power consumption and reduce the associated cooling costs for data center gear. Both categories are benefiting from increasing efficiencies. In fact, Nawabi noted that an AC power delivery system today has nearly the same efficiency as a DC power delivery system. He concluded that the best power delivery system to consider for the future is a 415/240VAC system, which is carried right up to the power supply of the IT loads.
Industry researchers predict that by next year, businesses will spend more money to power and cool their data centers than they spend on the servers and switches inside. This dilemma is shaping up as the IT battlefield for the next decade. A variety of cool-down tactics include: changing from fast, hot processors to cooler dual- and multi-core processors (cooling at the chip level is even sometimes considered); organizing server racks with hot and cool aisles to improve air circulation; sealing holes and other openings to prevent cool air from escaping where it is not needed and hot air from circulating; and moving the cooling system closer to the servers.
In addition, good cable management in the plenum spaces and in racks can help increase the cooling efforts and thus reduce power usage. If the cable locations hamper proper airflow, or if under-floor cables are not routed to ensure cool air delivery into the room, the AC system has to work harder, thus increasing operating costs. The proper racks and enclosures are also important items to keep in mind.
In "The Total Cost of Ownership: IP Surveillance vs. Analog," Kevin Doyle, Axis Communications, Chelmsford, Mass., presented an independent study, confirming the advantage of IP-based transmission protocols and digital capture and record equipment compared to older analog cameras and storage methods. Using a test case involving 40 cameras, 30 of which were indoor-fixed dome type, the report found the total cost of ownership for the IP system to be less than the legacy system. Other advantages include: superior scalability, greater flexibility in deployment (if Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is used), a superior image, and a higher screen resolution using megapixel resolution. The UTP cabling is also easier to troubleshoot than coaxial cabling, and the IP-based system allows remote monitoring over the Internet. PoE refers to the injection of electric power onto the UTP network wiring, eliminating the need to create an external power supply for each security camera.
In "2008 National Electrical Code Update," Raymond Heintel, Westlake Reed Lekosky, Cleveland, reviewed the changes in the Code that are relevant to the ITS industry, while also noting that the latest edition has better language, new definitions, and a revised numbering system, which offers unification benefits in the future. Specifically, there is a new definition of bonding and a clarification on use of screws in Sec. 250.8, Connectors. He also explained changes relating to bonding of equipment and use of conductors with green insulation for other than equipment grounding purposes, abandoned cable, surge arresters, classified locations, and protection of wiring.
In "Wireless Project Management: Building the 3rd Generation Broadband Wireless Network," Don Nelson, Nelson Consulting Associates, Clifton Park, N.Y., described the race to bring ultra-fast wireless Internet service to consumers across the nation. The biggest IT news story of the year is the auctioning by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of some of the bandwidth used for analog TV broadcasting, specifically UHF channels 52 through 69. With the impending switch to digital television, this portion of the broadcast spectrum is particularly important. This 60 MHz of spectrum is the last prime real estate for mobile communications that will be available in the United States for decades to come. Lying in the 700-MHz band, substantially below the 800- to 850-MHz and 1900-MHz frequencies already used for mobile phones, it will have specific advantages — namely the ability to penetrate buildings with ease and travel great distances. This frequency package has been dubbed "ocean-front property" because of its value in the wireless industry.
Two nationwide phone companies, Verizon and AT&T, were the big bidders in a March auction of this air space. This bandwidth will allow these two companies to encroach on cable companies' turf by offering video, data, and voice service, along with wireless phone services. But cable companies are responding with their own wireless strategies. One new venture has Sprint and Clearwire, a start-up company, joining with cable TV giants Comcast and Time Warner Cable, Internet giant Google, and chipmaker Intel in this type of venture. The plan involves a national WiMax wireless voice and data network that will feature Internet download speeds of a cable connection and the reach of a cellular phone network.
In addition, over the next three years, U.S. cities and towns will pay up to nearly $700 million to build municipal WiFi networks, predicts an industry source. Nelson also described the opportunities that will present themselves for ITS professionals based on this $20 billion undertaking, according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal written by Amol Sharma and Vishesh Kumar. Workers with skills in project management, RF engineering, network design, site acquisition, and site construction will be in high demand.

Madness has set in. With no snow in Calgary we said goodbye to MFR, Bjorn, Yan and Lazz, pointed the van east, and hauled ass across the Great Plains of Canada. The drive was a mission to say the least. In order to stay on schedule, we drove the van non-stop over night, and all of the next day to make it to Winnipeg. Driving this way is crazy. You end up listening to the playlists of whoever is driving, you eat and drink a lot of weird gas station food, and you tend to zombie out. There really isn't too much out in this part of Canada. It all seemed to blur by (except at one point when I was awoken by a certain driver asking if we were supposed to be coming up on the border. He had taken a slight wrong turn which added a few hours to our trip). We arrived in Winnipeg to find not much snow and the city was terribly flat. This place is probably a gold mine for skateboarding, but as far as snowboarding goes there wasn't going to be too much going on here. We then made the brutal decision to keep heading another twelve or so hours east to Thunder Bay, Canada.
By the time we got to Thunder Bay we were broken. All of us were exhausted, dirty, cranky, stinky, and basically over the drive. We checked into a local shop named "Static" and some of the locals gave us the heads up on some spots in town. We had a look at a big down rail that Will had hit when he drove cross country a few years earlier, but the snow was really sketchy so we ended up riding some features in a small park. We hit up a cool down rail to down rail that you could gap from one on to the other. Max and Marius got some cool stuff pretty quick, and you could tell they were super stoked to be out of the van and actually riding. Will went to work on the rails getting three shots that were all really sick, which helped out the group vibe. He nabbed an awesome shot of a nosepress to nosepress that you'll definitely be seeing soon.
After Thunder Bay we cruised straight to Ottawa to pick up LNP, shred some rails and hit up a local ski area. The drive from Thunder Bay was long and filled with lots of Metal including a stint in which we listened to Marius's Norwegian Black Metal band he played in while he was in high school. Finally, we arrived in Ottawa, picked up the one and only LNP who was bag-less at the airport and headed straight to the local ski area Edelweiss. At Edelweiss the conditions were pretty savage—straight ice-so we hung with a couple of our friends Max and Kevin that we met there riding. We shredded the less than perfect conditions, stickered the mountain signs, and then headed back to the airport to try to find LNP's bags. The next morning we met our Ontario rep Bill Moffat and his crew at "Top of the World" snowboard shop in Ottawa. We hung out with Bill's crew and caught up with what everyone had been doing for the year. After a good hang in the springtime warm weather we barged on through to Quebec.
As the van crossed into the Quebec province a huge cheer erupted in the van. We were pretty much home. We stopped into the first of many St. Hubert stops, and Rob, Marius and I battled the instant explosion of French speaking people. Max piloted the beast to his home in Montreal, and we then our goodbyes to one of the original crewmembers. Max had been on the trip from start to finish, he drove a ton of the miles, logged shots at every stop, and probably smiled more than anyone on the trip. It was weird pulling away from Max's house without him in the van, but we made the final push up to Quebec City and arrived at the infamous Ozone Hotel late that night.
Our final day of the trip was spent at one of the most famous rail spots in the world—the Battlefield rail in Quebec City. The Battlefield rail has been in nearly every snowboard movie for the last several years. It's a perfect down rail that our Quebec crew has been hitting for years. To say it's played out for filming is kind of an understatement, but we figured it would be a great thing to all go and session at the end of a long road trip. When we arrived there was a local crew hanging out riding and filming together, and when we walked in over the hill you could almost read the kids minds. I don't think anyone expected to see a huge part of the Rome team show up there that day. It was awesome to see arguably some of the best rail riders in the world riding a perfect down rail together. Max and Will did all kinds of 270s, Eiki and LNP were doing back to back bs 180 combos that were sick, and even Marius was riding the rail with everyone (something that had all the French Canadians super hyped to see the backcountry guy riding a street rail). During the session LNP built several different pole jam obstacles. He had a bike rack pole jam, another one with a picnic table, and still another one that involved jumping from the rail to a barrier. It was pretty sick to see how creative he could get at such a well-known spot. Also at the Battlefield, Yan unveiled his new Bungee, which ended up being really funny as the whole crew would stretch the bungee and then fire Yan out of the tunnel and up the Battlefield rail. It didn't quite work out the way Yan had hoped, but it was really humorous to say the least.
So that's it for FuGnar, it was a long and winding road, it was a really fast charge across the country, but one I'm sure no one will soon forget. We drove exactly 14 days, logged a few thousand miles, consumed a bunch of tanks of gas, had way too much junk food, spent four all nighters in the van, but made some all-time memories. Grab some friends and hit the road; it's a lot easier than you think. Marius told me that when he went to Iran earlier this year, he was sure that that trip would be the craziest one of the year for him, but he claims now that the FuGnar trip was crazier. Thanks to everyone involved with this trip especially Rob Mathis, the team riders, all of the reps involved, all of the locals we rode with, and anyone else that helped get the van across the country.

The team engineering design project is ahead of schedule, allowing the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) to go through extensive road testing before it competes in the 2002 Mini Baja West, which will be held this year on the last weekend of April in Provo, Utah. During the annual three-day collegiate competition, teams from universities throughout the western United States subject their hand-built ATVs to a series of grueling off-road events, such as hill climb, maneuverability, acceleration, and endurance, as well as "real-world" manufacturing competitions in design, cost, safety, and sales presentation. Pictured admiring New Mexico Tech's latest entry in Mini Baja West are (on left) Peter Gerity, vice president for academic affairs at Tech, and (on right) Tech engineering student and Mini Baja team member Jason Kemp.

Melee and Terestian Illhoof
I'm usually assigned to heal the warlock who is killing the imps. What I try to do is drop Consecration every so often to help her out. But this leads to mana problems, and I usually end up having to drink a mana potion or stop the consecrations.
So last night I tried a different strategy. I put Judgement of Wisdom on Illhoof, and melee'd with Seal of Wisdom, healing the warlock as necessary. It worked spectacularly well. I was able to consecrate every 8 seconds, keep the warlock up, add a little bit of melee damage, and end the fight with over 30% mana. I think the fight went a bit faster and much smoother than normal.
In retrospect, I probably should have used Seal of the Crusader for a bit more damage and a bit less regen, but I was really concerned about mana from our previous experiences with him.
5 comments:
Interesting strategy. Certainly worth considering. :)ReplyDelete
I believe I did some of this action, we actually had a Fury Warrior off-tanking the Imp. Then we just unleashed mayhem with our AoE on the other imps that spawned. It worked out fairly well... we downed Prince & Nightbane (our first times) in one night, our group was on fire. But then the giant invis-o-dragon killed us. :(ReplyDelete
Speaking of Illhoof though, I managed to get myself a Lightning Capacitator... I wonder if that'll make Holy Shock grinding any less painful?
The beauty of meleeing Illhoof is not only the things already mentioned, but also that, assuming you have target of target and enemy cast bar showing, you can see a couple seconds ahead of time who is going to get chained, thus giving you more time to react and land a well-timed heal.ReplyDelete
As a paladin you should pretty much always have the imps on you. Not sure what spec you are but it sounds holy, which implies you should have some prot points in there as well.. always have your good ol' +threat buff up, not like anything in the fight besides illhoof hits hard :)ReplyDelete
Throw consecrates up whenever you can and throw out righteous defence whenever it's up on the warlock you're healing. It won't pull any of the imps you already have aggro on, and should keep him relatively free of any problems seeding.
NJ. We downed him lastnight for the first time. I was MT and tanked both the imp and Illhoof. We basically only had 2 healers. It was hella hard. Fun as anything though. I'm gonna mention that to our pally healer though next time and see what he thinks.ReplyDelete

YORK COUNTY — It was one for the record books, at least for the city of Portland.
Maine's largest city was buried in 31.9 inches of snow last Saturday by the time the blizzard of 2013 — also known as Winter Storm Nemo — wound down.
Gorham reported receiving 35.5 inches of snow during the Feb. 8 and 9 snowstorm, and while there was no official tally for how much snow Sanford received, Kennebunk and Wells received 26 inches and 25.6 inches respectively, according to information collected on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website.
The website showed wind gusts up to 49 miles per hour in Sanford during the winter storm, which accounts for the unusual snow drifts left behind.
As Maine residents continued to dig out from the weekend's blizzard, another storm on Monday added several more inches of snow topped with rain and freezing rain to York County.
Winter Storm Nemo caused 18,420 outages, beginning around noon on Friday, with a peak of 11,467 customers without power on Saturday morning, according to Central Maine Power Company (CMP). The utility company had made extensive preparations as the storm approached New England, and crews were able to keep pace with repairs as outages were reported during the storm.
In its final press release regarding the storm, at 5 p.m. on Saturday, CMP reported 319 remaining outages, of which 13 were in York County.
On Friday afternoon, Feb. 8, Governor Paul R. LePage signed a limited Emergency Declaration in an effort to restore power quickly to Mainers. The proclamation waives Federal Department of Transportation rules, extending the hours of service for workers, and allows additional crews from Canada to assist with repairs.
In Sanford, public works employees worked 16 — 18 hour shifts, beginning at 5 a.m. on Friday to try to keep up with snow accumulation on roads. Most worked until 11 p.m., went home to sleep a few hours and returned to work at 3 or 4 a.m. On Saturday, they worked until about 8 p.m. and then reported back to work Sunday to continue the clean-up.
"We were full at it around the clock," said Sanford Public Works Director Charles Andreson.
Andreson said the magnitude and the duration of the weekend storm made the clean-up difficult. In addition, the department has six fewer employees due to budget cuts two years ago and this is the first major snowstorm Sanford has had since the cuts.
Andreson said he had complaints from parents because the sidewalks were not all cleared on Monday morning when children went back to school.
"We feel bad when we can't have everything opened up," Andreson said. "We're doing the best we can, trying to restore thing to as safe a condition as we can."
Andreson praised Sanford's DPW employees who worked hard for long shifts during the storm.

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
April 2010
Even Soil Feels the Heat
Soils release more carbon dioxide as the globe warms
Results: As the Earth grows warmer, plants and microbes in the soil release more carbon dioxide, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists Ben Bond-Lamberty and Allison Thomson have discovered from a survey of twenty years of field studies. The analysis of past studies, published in the March 25, 2010, edition of Nature magazine, reveals that soil respiration has increased about one-tenth of 1 percent per year since 1989. "There's a slowly increasing flow of carbon dioxide coming off of the surface of the soil everywhere in the world, linked to warmer air temperatures" said Bond-Lamberty. Bond-Lamberty and Thomson, working at the Joint Global Change Research Institute (a partnership between PNNL and the University of Maryland) also calculated the total amount of carbon dioxide coming from soils.
Why it matters: Carbon dioxide—a heat-trapping gas that contributes to the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere—is mainly thought of as the result of burning fossil fuels. But as the earth heats up, carbon dioxide emissions increase in a number of less infamous ways. Soil respiration, a natural process in which carbon dioxide is released from the soil into the atmosphere, can be influenced by several factors. One of those ways is rising global temperatures. Understanding the source and mechanisms of that increased soil respiration can advance our knowledge about global climate change.
Methods: Researchers knew that soil respiration—the biochemical reaction of soil plants and microbes producing carbon dioxide—would theoretically be affected by a rise in soil temperature. This increase would result in more carbon dioxide being released from the soil. But soil respiration can't be measured from space and isn't effectively simulated with computer models. So the researchers turned to past studies published between 1989 and 2008. Using standardized methods to compile the existing data into an openly available database, they compared and analyzed the data with temperature and precipitation information in defined geographic regions.
Researchers found that the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted from soil in 2008 was more than in 1989. They also broke down the complete data set by regional climates and re-examined these smaller groups. Their analysis showed consistent results in the temperate and tropical climates, compared to the overall results, but not for the boreal-Arctic climate.
What's next: By examining the data by regional climates, researchers have identified an area for further research. The regional analysis shows the need for more boreal data on regional climates to reach statistical relevance. It will also be useful to compare these data with results produced by global climate models.

Q: There is a brown rust-like film/oil slick covering my pond. Do you have an idea what this might be and how to get rid of it? – Several Customers
A: There are several things this could be: Algae, duckweed, watermeal or pollen.
Determining if Algae is a Problem: Filamentous Algae will float around the pond's edges in mats while Planktonic Algae will make the whole body of water to look like a "pea soup" green color. If this is the case, using Algae Defense® Algaecide will provide quick control. Follow up with PondClear™ for long-term clear water.
Determining if Duckweed or Watermeal is the Problem: Duckweed and Watermeal are very rapid growers and will cover an entire pond if they get out of control. Looking to the pictures to the left, you can see that Duckweed is a small plant the size of a pencil eraser, while Watermeal is about the size of the tip of a pencil. If you determine that you have Duckweed or Watermeal. Your only long-term option is Sonar™ A.S. for Duckweed and Clipper™ for Watermeal. If you only require short-term control (3-4 weeks) for an event or party Ultra PondWeed Defense®" may be used.
Determining if Pollen is the Problem: What may look like a greenish, brownish algae, may actually be pollen. Pollen may even cause an oil-slick or film on the surface of the pond. There is no magic product that will give you a quick fix. Many times a heavy rain will settle it to the bottom. In many cases if your pond receives good circulation from an aerator or fountain you will not see pollen becoming much of a problem.

Vegan Thanksgiving Turkey Dish
Looking for a delicious and fabulous vegan alternative to Thanksgiving turkey?
I'm repeating my favorite Thanksgiving/Christmas vegan main, Vegan Turkey Cutlets from Ann Gentry's Real Food Daily Cookbook
I loved the taste and texture of these and I'm not really into faux meats. They're made of a combination of tofu and tempeh and they're easy to make!
Vegan Turkey Cutlets (adapted from Real Food Daily Cookbook):
8 oz tempeh
6 oz tofu
4 tbsp miso
1-1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1-1/2 tsp dried sage
1 tsp Herbes de Provence
salt & pepper
Preheat the oven to 350.
Cut up the tempeh and tofu and blend in a food processor until crumbly and well mixed. In a small bowl, mix together the miso and mustard. Set aside.
Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and fry the onion until soft (6-8 minutes). Add the sage, Herbes de Provence, salt and pepper and stir for 30 seconds. Add the tempeh-tofu mix and the miso-mustard to the pan and saute for 8-10 minutes, until starting to brown. (My mixture was moist, rather like tuna salad, but it did brown). Remove from heat and allow to cool. When the mixture is cool enough to touch, form into 4 patties with your hands. Brush the patties with olive oil and bake from 25-35 minutes until golden brown. (Gentry says the unbaked patties can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days if you want to make these ahead).

Gingerbread House Donation Planned, Dec. 21, 2007
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., Dec. 21, 2007 – Raymona Holter of Socorro got into the Christmas spirit when she recently decided to enter the annual New Mexico Tech Gingerbread House Contest.
The Christmas spirit must have then overwhelmed Holter after she won the contest and decided to donate her entry and prize to a local family who is struggling with the recent loss of their patriarch.
Holter's winning entry, a detailed Gingerbread firehouse, along with a signed copy of a book from which the firehouse idea originated, as well as the first-place prize of a $150 Wal-Mart gift certificate, will all be handed over this evening to the Padilla family of Lemitar.
Earlier this month, Frank Padilla, a longtime firefighter with the Midway Volunteer Fire Department, passed away.
The donation will take place during an informal presentation at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, December 21, at New Mexico Tech's Joseph A. Fidel Student Services Center. Holter and members of the Padilla family are scheduled to attend, as is Socorro Fire Department Chief Joe Gonzales, who coordinated with Holter and the Padillas to make the donation possible.

(by positioning the mouse pointer over the pictures you will get more infos about the pictures)
We began our journey at the beginning of May and took a flight from Munich via Frankfurt and Singapore to Brisbane and finally Cairns, which is situated at the Australian east-coast in Queensland. The whole journey took us complete 2 days!
So, despite the good service of Singapore Airlines, we were very exhausted upon arriving at Cairns and during the following days had to overcome the jetlag, caused by the long travel and a time difference of 8 hours.
During our 4-week stay in Cairns we booked in at the Mercure-Harbourside, a good 4-star hotel although it is a bit nosy because of the many Japanese tourist parties.
Cairns is a middle sized town with a provincial character (about 100.000 inhabitants) and has many souvenir shops. At almost every corner one finds opals, Crocodile-Dundee accessories, typical Australian road signs and many other characteristic Australian souvenirs.
In the big supermarkets othroughout Cairns you can purchse almost all imaginable products and equipment. So to make luggage less heavy, you can easily buy many articles for the daily use after arrival in Cairns and the prices are almost equal to those in Europe. Worth mentioning is the great hospitality and cooperativeness of the Australians.
For being able to explore Australia's nature on one's own account, an off-road vehicle is needed because of the long distances and sandy or muddy tracks. During the three weeks that we stayed in Queensland we drove almost 3000 kilometres and had rented a big Toyota Prado (rented from Britz). The all inclusive price for such a big off-road vehicle for 20 days is about 2.300 Euros.
Cairns is in northern Queensland and is surrounded by the last primary rain forests of Australia (State Forests & Barron Falls National Park).
Situated directly on the coast, it is an excellent starting point for boat rides to the world-famous Barrier Reef, the biggest coral reef of the world. It is a must for each tourist to visit the Fitzroy Island and Green Island because of their famous diving sites.
Those in search for gorgeous beaches, will find these along the scenic route from Cairs to Port Duglas, which is winding itself along the coast.
Nature and Entmology of the surroundings of Cairns
As only few of the primary rain forests are still intact, mainly due to the numerous and wide sugarcane plantations and extensive pest control, many phasmid species exist only very locally and some are very rare. The endemic Australian animal diversity is also increasingly being replaced by newly introduced foreign species. At night one finds voracious giant toads (Family Bufidae) almost everywhere, which eat everything from insects to rats.
In the direct vicinity of Cairns we found the following species mainly in areas of primary rain-forest close to water:
Anchiale briareus (Gray, 1834), Sipyloidea larryi (Hasenpusch & Brock, 2007), Sipyloidea garradungensis Brock & Hasenpusch, 2007, Sipyloidea rentzi Brock & Hasenpusch, 2007 and Onchestus rentzi (Brock & Hasenpusch, 2006).
Crystal Cascades
The Crystal Cascades are situated a few kilometres west of Cairns, in it's adjacent rain forest areas. This is a lovely river, were locals take a swim on weekends. Because of the hot temperatures it's a boon to spend the day in the river while observing the beautiful nature. During the night many phasmids could be obseved here. Anchiale briareus (Gray, 1834) was very abudant mainly in Eucalyptus-trees several metres above the ground, where we also found a single but giant 22 cm female of Acrophylla wuelfingi (Redtenbacher, 1908). Sipyloidea larryi (Hasenpusch & Brock, 2007), Sipyloidea rentzi Brock & Hasenpusch, 2007, Onchestus rentzi (Brock & Hasenpusch, 2006), Austrocarausius nigropunctatus (Kirby, 1896), Tropidoderus childrenii (Gray, 1833) and several unidentified Necrosciinae were found in the lower vegetation. And again a lot of giant toads!
Lake Morris Road (on a hill east of Cairns)
This street is somewhat elevated, thus one has an especially nice view over Cairns from different vantage points. We frequently searched for insects along the Lake Morris Road and here we took many photos of insects during the night (mainly orthopteroids and lepidopteras). Amongst others we spotted numerous Anchiale briareus (Gray, 1834), Sipyloidea larryi (Hasenpusch & Brock, 2007), some Extatosoma tiaratum tiaratum (Mac Leay, 1826) and some unidentified Necrosciinae.
Especially interesting for entomologists and naturalists is the area around Kuranda (about 50 min by car from Cairns).
It is also possible to get to Kuranda by the 10 km long "sky -rail". The sky-rail station is near to Smithfield, a small village some 15 kilometres north of Cairns. Besides kitschy souvenir shops there is a hughe butterfly house in Kuranda, where you can observe native butterflies like Papilio ulysses and Ornithoptera priamus. With a bit of luck, you can even spot freshwater crocodiles in the circumjacent rivers. On numerous paths you can here explore an opulent and very rich flora. Amongst some others, we here found Onchestus rentzi (Brock & Hasenpusch, 2006) and Sipyloidea rentzi Brock & Hasenpusch, 2007.
Another area well worth seeing in northern Queensland are the Tablelands, a few hours drive northwest of Cairns.
There the climate is temperate and very fertile with many farms and agriculture with lots of vegetables and fruits cultivated here. The Lake Barrine area has many cristal clear lakes, which invite for a bath. During the night it can drop down to 12-15°C during the night in May.
A place in the Tablelands well worth visiting is Lake Barrine, which can be circled on a narrow footpath and whhilst sitting on a small bench just beside the lake, one can observe pelicans. During the night we could observe some nymphs of Onchestus rentzi (Brock & Hasenpusch, 2006), some Sipyloidea larryi (Hasenpusch & Brock, 2007) and a few more specimens of Sipyloidea rentzi Brock & Hasenpusch, 2007 here.
Other scenic lakes are Lake Morris (the water reservoir for Cairns), Lake Eacham (a swimming lake with a picnic place, not far from Lake Barrine) and the huge Lake Tinaroo.
Cape Tribulation /Danitree National Park
One day we drove to the Daintree National Park, which is about 2 hours out of Cairns. For being able to get futher into the direction of Cape York, we had to cross the Daintree River with a ferry. Our goal was Cape Tribulation - a small peninsular edged by white sand beaches and admist of tropical rain forest. One of Cape Tribulation's special features are the mangrove swamps forests along it's coast with lots of screw-palms (Pandanus spp., Pandanaceae). This unique habitat is home to abundant numbers of Megacrania batesii (Kirby, 1896). This species feeds is perfeclty adapted to this environment and is exclusively found in the crowns of the Pandanus plants where it is protected against predatirs by the sharp spines of the lancett-like leaves. Here we stayed overnight and at the Ferntree Rainforest Resort, a very idyllic 5-star resort in the rainforest. From the Mangrove Boardwalk which leads through the swamp-forest (a few hundred meters away from the resort) we observed numerous Megacrania batesii feeding on Pandanus leaves during the night. They seemed to feed like harvester-threshers and considerable damage on the Pandanus plants was more than obvious! If a Megacrania feels threatened, it is able to spray a milky-white defensive secretion towards the predator with great precision. The smell of this spray is remarkably peppermint-like why the Australians call this distinctive species "Peppermint Stick-Insect". One has also to be careful while being out in the swamp at night, as Cape Tribulation and it's sorrounding creeks are also home to many "salties" - salt water crocodiles.
The sandy route to Cape York can only be traveled on with an off-road vehicle and during the dry season.
Altogether we found relatively few phasmids during our 3-week stay in Queensland, which was certainly also related to the fact that it did not rain for even once during the entire 3 weeks!
Nonetheless, Queensland is well worth a trip because of it's high biodiversity and uniqueness if its rich and stunning fauna and flora.

Baseball greats toast Hank Aaron for 80th birthday
WASHINGTON (AP) — At a hotel overlooking the White House, Attorney General Eric Holder motioned toward a window and paid Hank Aaron a huge compliment.
"The young man who lives right over there," Holder said Friday night, speaking of President Barack Obama, "his path was made easier by this man."
Forty years ago, Aaron broke the hallowed record of Babe Ruth on his way to 755 career home runs, all while combating racism with quiet dignity.

On Friday evening at a private party celebrating his 80th birthday, friends, former teammates, and baseball luminaries paid tribute to "Hammerin' Hank."
Slugger Reggie Jackson compared Aaron to Jackie Robinson, who broke baseball's color barrier in 1947. Frank Robinson spoke of the thrill of entering the Hall of Fame with Aaron in 1982.
Former teammate Robin Yount said he was his mother's second-favorite player — right behind Aaron.
Aaron was last to speak and grew emotional as he talked of his parents, recalling an afternoon when he and his brother were called into the house and ordered to hide under beds. Minutes later, members of the Ku Klux Klan marched up their street.
As the ceremony came to a close at the Hay-Adams hotel, Aaron and his wife of 40 years, Billie, beamed as the crowd sang "Happy Birthday."
Aaron turned 80 on Wednesday. His tribute will continue on Saturday when he speaks as part of the Living Portrait Series at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
In addition, a painting of Aaron, done by Ross Rossin of Atlanta, will be unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery.
Other speakers on Friday night included Hall of Famers Jim Rice, Rickey Henderson and Ozzie Smith, who grew up in Aaron's hometown of Mobile, Ala., idolizing the outfielder who played for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers.
"He showed me the way a person should be," Smith said. "He inspired me and thousands of others."
Bud Selig, commissioner of Major League Baseball, spoke of his friendship with Aaron, which dated to 1958.
Selig also talked of the overdue acceptance of Aaron in a career in which he was often overshadowed by Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays.
"I'm not so sure people understand what a great all-around player he was," Selig said. "He played in Milwaukee. He played in Atlanta. I think it was only maybe after he broke Babe Ruth's record — and in the last 20 years — that he's got the wonderful recognition that he so extraordinarily deserved."
NOTES: Selig had no comment on Alex Rodriguez dropping his lawsuit against the commissioner, Major League Baseball and the players' association, referring to a press release earlier in the day. ... Former teammate and popular broadcaster Bob Uecker got the laugh of the night when he spoke of meeting Aaron for the first time as a member of the Braves. "Henry dressed a couple lockers from where I was," Uecker said. "I said hello. He said, 'What do you do?' I said, 'I'm a catcher.' He said, "For who?"

The Laboratory of Coevolutionary Biology
The earth has millions of species.
Coevolution organizes these species into complex webs:
predators and prey, hosts and parasites, competitors, and mutualists.
The result is what Darwin called the Entangled Bank.
Others call it the Web of Life.
Our research goal:
How and why has the web of life become so entangled?
How does coevolution shape species interactions across space and time?
What ecological and genetic conditions allow interactions to persist?
How does coevolution shape webs of interacting species?
Relentless Evolution (2013):
Why do species evolve relentlessly, even when they seem fairly well adapted to their environments?
Over how short a time scale can we see species, and interactions among species, evolving in nature?
The Geographic Mosaic of Coevolution (2005):
How does coevolution shape interactions among species that are distributed across ecosystems, regions, and continents?
Why does the geographic mosaic of coevolution differ among different forms of interaction -- e.g., mutualistic interactions, competitors, parasites and hosts?
The Coevolutionary Process (1994):
Why does natural selection favor some species that interact with only a few species and other species that interact with many species?
Why do interactions among species evolve, and sometimes coevolve, in different ways in different environments?
How does the history of evolutionary ecology and coevolutionary biology help us understand our current hypotheses and predictions?
Interaction and Coevolution (1982; reissued 2014):
Why does natural selection act differently on different forms of interaction among species?
Can we develop general principles about the coevolutionary process?

Father Jim Martin has kindly shared his homily for this Sunday with the readers of "The Good Word." Enjoy.
"Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies it produces much fruit." (John 12:20-33)
Now what does that mean, exactly?
Well, you're all smart. You know that Jesus isn't just giving us a lesson in biology. And you know that St. John didn't write his Gospel to give us a tutorial in growing wheat. Jesus is referring to himself. And he does so, as he does in his parables, by using a familiar image from everyday life to illustrate his point to his listeners. Jesus's death will lead to new life not only for him, but for everyone. And all of us here believe that. Otherwise we wouldn't be Christian.
But there's another meaning that lies dormant within the seed of that image. And that has to do with our death. And I'm not talking about just our physical deaths and our resurrection with Jesus in the world to come. I'm talking about something that happens in our daily lives.
And that is, dying to self. In short, we are called to let go of, to relinquish, to let die, anything that keep us from greater freedom to follow Jesus. And by dying to our self we, paradoxically, experience new life.
Now, 15 years ago, when I took my preaching course in theology studies and we were told not to tell stories about yourself. But with this subject, I feel like I have to. So I'm going to relate two little stories.
The first is this: During my theology studies I developed carpal tunnel syndrome, or repetitive strain injury, depending on which doctor you talk to. It's not lifethreatening, but as someone who works at a magazine as I do, it can be frequently frustrating and occasionally painful and always unpredictable.
Anyway, when it first happened I was lamenting about it to my spiritual director. I wanted to write whenever I wanted, to be pain free, to plan all sorts of articles and books and projects. But I couldn't. I didn't even know if I would be able to type from day to day--which made being a student rather hard. So I said to my spiritual director, "I don't want this cross!" And he said, "Jim, it's hardly a cross if you want it!"
That part of me that wanted to exercise complete control over my future, that wanted to have a perfectly functioning body, a body without pain, needed to die, like the grain of wheat. And it took some time for me to see the new life, but it came: It was the realization that everything I write--even this homily--is thanks to God's grace. It was a freedom from the need to control everything. And it even brought me humility, or at least some humility. Because I can't make any grand plans about writing. I can just do it when I can. And leave the rest to God.
But dying to self is hard. Later on I said to my spiritual director that this wasn't the kind of humility I wanted--this humility born of hard times. This is hard humility. He said, "Well, what did you have in mind. And I said, "Well I wanted a humility that was easy, where people would say, 'Wow, he's so humble.'" I wanted a humility I could be proud of!
Now you probably have far worse problems that than. You may be facing a truly serious illness, or someone in your family may be. Or especially these days you may have lost your job, or are worried about losing your job, or maybe you've lost a great deal of your savings. It's a terrible situation to find yourself in. And it's natural to be angry, sad or confused.
Yet in all these vulnerable situations there may be a new way of relating to God, and an invitation to experience new life. Now I want to be clear: I'm not saying that God wills these awful things, or that you should like them, or welcome them.
But one question the Christian you can ask during times of suffering this: In these difficult and painful experiences, are there grains of wheat that need to die so that you can experience new life? While you may be concerned, rightly, with a safe and secure financial life, maybe one thing that bothers you about your new financial situation is a dramatic loss of status. And maybe you might come to see that that's not such bad to let go of. Maybe it's been preventing you from some freedom. If you let those particular grains die, you might actually be freed of something. In the midst of suffering, you might experience some new life.
Here's my second story: A few years ago I worked for many months on a project in a Jesuit work. At the end of the project, at a time when I expected a little acknowledgment or even a thank you, I got none. And I was furious. Now it's natural to want to receive some gratitude for your work, but there was a much darker side. My ego demanded that I be recognized and when that didn't happen, my pride was injured. My spiritual director said, "Why are you doing this work? For your glory or for God's?" That grain of wheat, that overweening pride, needed to die.
Does all this sound easy? It's not! As the Gospel says, the seed first has to fall to earth before it dies. And that falling is painful. In the Second Reading, St. Paul says that Jesus offers up prayers with "loud cries and tears." Did you hear that? "Loud cries and tears." Jesus accepts the future that God is holding out, but it hurts. It hurts.
But that is part of the process of dying to self.
Or does it sound masochistic? Too much like the old "offer it up" mentality? It's not. Because painful as it is, it's necessary step towards something lifegiving--freedom. Spiritual writers have used other metaphors to describe the process--being pruned so that you can grow is another garden-variety one. St. Ignatius of Loyola talks of "disordered attachments" that keep us bound and enslaved.
All of them mean what Jesus means when he offered us this homey image. Especially in dark times, we are often invited to let go, to relinquish, to abandon, to become more detached, but not simply for the sake of more pain or more suffering, out of a sick masochism, but for something greater--for new life.
And what did Jesus give up? Everything. He gave up everything. What did he let die? Himself.
Think about him on the cross. Jesus may have thought that his grand project was a failure: that his efforts to bring together the disciples were over; that his preaching hadn't taken hold. He gives up his hopes on the cross. And, he gives up his very body. "This is my body, given up for you." But the final word is not the suffering, but the resurrection. The death of the seed leads to the marvel of the blade of wheat. The crucifixion leads to the marvel of the resurrection.
And the one who made the unimaginable sacrifice, who let relinquished everything, was rewarded with unimaginable new life. I don't know what it's like to face financial uncertainty. For all of our vows of poverty, Jesuits live simply, but they, at least for now, live securely. So I can't imagine what something like that must be like. But I can imagine what it's like to be asked to die to yourself.
More importantly, I know what happens when you allow those grains of wheat to fall to the ground and die. It's painful, it's wrenching, it seems impossible at times to let go of whatever parts of your life that are keeping you cold and buried in the ground. But once that seed dies, there is always, always new life.
And if you doubt that, just stick around till Easter Sunday.

Proper Use of tolcapone
Take tolcapone only as directed by your doctor, to help your condition as much as possible. Do not take more or less of it, and do not take it more or less often than your doctor ordered.
It is important that you and your doctor discuss the risks of tolcapone and that you read and sign a written informed consent before you begin taking tolcapone.
The dose of tolcapone will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of tolcapone. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For oral dosage form (tablets):
- For Parkinson's disease:
- Adults—100 milligrams (mg) three times a day, taken in addition to levodopa and carbidopa.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For Parkinson's disease:
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of tolcapone, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Precautions While Using tolcapone
It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. Tolcapone may have serious effects on your liver. You must have regular blood tests done to make sure tolcapone is not affecting your liver.
Because tolcapone may have serious effects on your liver, you should watch for any signs of these effects. Signs include dark urine; itching; light-colored stools; loss of appetite; nausea (continuing); tenderness in upper right part of abdomen; unusual drowsiness, dullness, or feeling sluggish; unusual tiredness or weakness; or yellow eyes or skin. If you notice any of these signs, contact your doctor.
Do not stop taking tolcapone without first checking with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount you are taking before stopping completely.
Tolcapone may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, drowsiness, weakness, or trouble in thinking or concentrating. Make sure you know how you react to tolcapone before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert, well-coordinated, or able to think clearly.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help. If you should have this problem, check with your doctor.
Hallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there) may occur in some patients. This is more common in elderly patients.
You may experience nausea, especially when you first begin taking tolcapone.
Tolcapone causes the urine to turn bright yellow. This is to be expected while you are taking it. This effect is harmless and will go away after you stop taking the medicine.

TUSCALOOSA - Mikey Henderson caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford in overtime to lift No. 22 Georgia to a 26-23 victory over No. 16 Alabama on Saturday night.
The Crimson Tide started overtime with the ball but failed to gain a yard and Leigh Tiffin put Alabama ahead with a 42-yard field goal.
The Bulldogs (3-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) needed one play to win it. Stafford lofted a pass to the left side of the end zone for Henderson, who made an over-the-shoulder catch and ended the Tide's hopes of a second straight dramatic victory.
It was Henderson's first career touchdown catch, and it was a big one for a team that was flirting with its first 0-2 SEC start since 1993.
Stafford completed 19-of-35 passes for 224 yards, throwing for two touchdowns and getting intercepted twice. He was excellent on third downs, helping Georgia convert 9-for-19.
The Tide (3-1, 2-1) had rallied to beat Arkansas 41-38 last week on John Parker Wilson's touchdown pass to Matt Caddell with 8 seconds left, the team's first fourth-quarter comeback win since the 2004 Independence Bowl.
This one might have been even more improbable if Alabama could have pulled it off after scoring 10 points in the final 6:30 to force overtime.
Wilson threw for 185 yards, ran for a touchdown and completed 17-of-35 passes.
Alabama's Glen Coffee was stopped for no gain on the first play of OT, then Wilson threw a pair of incompletions.
Last week's win had vaulted
the Tide back into the rankings and worked already title-hungry fans into a frenzy. They were even more excited when it appeared Nick Saban's team was going to do it again, only to watch the Bulldogs celebrate instead.
Georgia nearly got the win in regulation time. Stafford got the ball back at the Bulldogs 34 with 1:09 left, and completed a couple of quick passes for a first down. After two straight incompletions, Thomas Brown ran for 8 yards.
The Bulldogs used their final timeout on fourth-and-2 from the 41 with 12 seconds left. Stafford hit Tripp Chandler across the middle for an 11-yard gain, stopping the clock with a first down. He spiked the ball to bring Brandon Coutu onto the field with 3 seconds left, but the kick went wide left by about a foot.
The Tide had started its late comeback with Tiffin's 22-yard field goal on a drive kept alive by a pass interference call on fourth-and-7.
Alabama held Georgia without a first down and got the ball back at its own 12 with 4:44 left. Wilson hit Keith Brown down the left sideline for a 43-yard gain after Brown broke free from cornerback Bryan Evans, moving into Georgia territory.
Roy Upchurch's tackle-breaking 10-yard run up the middle gave Alabama first-and-goal from the 6. Then Wilson dropped backed before quickly darting into an open lane and zig-zagging into the end zone with 1:09 left.
Thomas Brown and Knowshon Moreno rushed for 74 yards apiece for Georgia. Coffee and Terry Grant combined for 142 yards rushing for Georgia.
Dawgs edge Tide in OT

Coil Transport Cart CTW
with Prism and short Lifting Stroke
Coil Transport Carts CTW with prism and short lifting stroke are specially qualified for
• Transport of Coils between coil storage and decoiler
• Transport of Coils between recoiler and coil storage or shipping department
• Loading of decoilers
• Offloading of recoilers
A stroke length of aprox 300 – 400 mm, depending on cart height, usually is sufficient for loading / offloading.
If also coils with very small outside diameters should be loaded to decoilers or offloaded from recoilers, the difference in height can be compensated by means of an attachable prism.These attachable prisms also are available as versions, under which the Coil Transport Cart PTW can drive and can lift it up. Therefore it is possible to handle even such coils which consist of only a few coil windings.
With attachable prisms which can be crossed below, it is possible to have available at the decoiler in time that coil which will be processed next. After the last coil will have reached its end, the new one will be loaded onto the decoiler immediately and the production can continue. This way it can be avoided that the operator has to wait for the next coil due to logistic reasons.
This Coil Transport Cart is available for coil weight up to 40 tons.
If you will have questions regarding our Coil Transport Cart CTW, we will be at your disposal for clarification at any time. Please do not hesitate to contact us:

Current Chair: Nancy Steinbach, Statistics Sweden
The London Group on Environmental Accounting is a city group created in 1993 to allow practitioners to share their experience of developing and implementing environmental accounts linked to the System of National Accounts. It convened its first meeting in March 1994 in London, England. The name derives from the city of its first meting.
The London Group is an informal group of experts primarily from national statistical agencies but also international organizations. Participation by representatives is voluntary. The London Group generally meets annually. The meetings provide a forum for review, comparison and discussion of work underway by participants towards development of environmental accounts. The London group is also working on some remaining conceptual and methodological issues for the SEEA Central Framework that need further elaboration. The research agenda for the SEEA Central Framework can be found here.
The London Group on Environmental Accounting has played a leading role over the years in advancing the methodologies of environmental-economic accounts and in providing a forum for sharing national and international expertise in the field. The most notable accomplishments of the London Group have been its contribution to the System of Environmental Economic Accounting Central Framework (SEEA-Central Framework) which was adopted as the international statistical standard for environmental economic accounts at the forty-third session of the United Nations Statistical Commission, and to the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water), which was adopted as an interim international statistical standard at the thirty-eighth session of the United Nations Statistical Commission .
London Group meetings take place once a year.Most recent meeting:
Until 2004 the London Group reported progress on its programme of work to the UN Statistical Commission
Since 2005 the UNCEEA took over the progress reports to the UN Statistical Commission

Anaheim, Caif. - Justin Burns had a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds and Bobby Brown added 17 points including two critical 3-pointers Wednesday night as Cal State Fullerton hung on to beat Cal State Northridge, 73-63, in the opening round of the Big West Conference Tournament at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The No. 6-seeded Titans (16-12) advance to play Thursday night against No. 3-seeded Long Beach State, which swept Fullerton in two games this season. Game time is 6 p.m. No. 7-seeded Northridge got 16 points from Mike Efevberha but ends its season at 11-17 including three losses to Fullerton.
Jamaal Brown had 18 points, Frank Robinson had 11 and Jermaine Harper had 8 as the Fullerton starers scored all 73 points. Jonathan Heard with 14 and Rob Haynes with 11 also were in double figures for CSUN.
Burns had a double-double in the first half with 12 points and 10 rebounds as the Titans opened a 35-23 lead. They opened the second half with a 13-4 burst for their biggest lead of the game at 48-27 with 16:03 to play.
But the Matadors methodically came back, fueled in part by a switch to a 1-3-1 trapping defense. They outscored the Titans 19-4 to get within 6 points at 52-46 on a Heard bucket at 7:50. But Bobby Brown responded with a 3-pointer for Fullerton's first field goal in almost 7 minutes. Haynes hit a trey to get the margin back to 6 but Brown countered with another three at 6:58 and then a layup by Burns and two dunks by Frank Robinson boosted the lead to 66-51.
"It was a great game for us," said Fullerton Head Coach Bob Burton. "We played good pressure defense and helped out.
"We lost a lead and then answered it and I felt good about that."
"The threes were really big for us," said Bobby Brown. "They gave us some momentum to get back on defense and get some stops. Our defense won the game for us. Frank's dunks gave us even more momentum."
Burns had his sixth double-double of the season and has averaged 19.7 points over the past three games.
"We're excited to move on and play Long Beach again," said Burton. "They are playing better than anyone in the league. We'll have to play our best game all year to beat them. Our pressure defense which has helped us win six of our last eight won't work so well against them because they like to penetrate. They area tough match up."

Four Athletes MUGGED At Gunpoint As The Games Enter Week Two
Four American swimming gold medallists, including Ryan Lochte, have been robbed at gunpoint.
The incident involved thieves posing as police officers following the end of the competition in the pool.
It happened after a party at France House, Lochte, a 12-time medallist, Gunna Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen had been travelling back to the athletes' village.
"We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over," Lochte told NBC. "They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground - they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn't do anything wrong, so - I'm not getting down on the ground.
"And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead, and he said, get down and I put my hands up, I was like 'whatever.' He took our money, he took my wallet - he left my cell phone, he left my credentials."
The United States Olympic Committee released a statement saying ''"According to four members of the US Olympic Swimming Team as they left France House early Sunday morning in a taxi headed for the Olympic Village,"
"Their taxi was stopped by individuals posing as armed police officers who demanded the athletes' money and other personal belongings.
"All four athletes are safe and cooperating with authorities."
Lochte's mother told USA Today that they were unharmed in the incident but ''I think they're all shaken up. There were a few of them,''
There was initial confusion about the episode with a spokesman for the International Olympic Committee denying the reports before receiving information suggesting it had.
The Australian team have now been banned from visiting Copacabana and Ipanema beaches to avoid a similar incident.

People who ride a lot sometimes like pants. These WorkRide pants are made of medium-weight Cordura Duck cloth. They're durable, roomy and comfy. We've done a few things to make them riding pants instead of just pants you can ride in. First, we altered the seam structure in the crotch, moving pressure points away from where you sit. We also added an extra layer 'down there' to mitigate any pressure effects of the seams that remain. The knees are articulated for easy bending, and both legs employ a nifty set of snaps to keep them out of your chainring (two, so you can hem your pants to length and have a snap to spare). Ride to wherever, do what you gotta do (work, chop wood, whatever), then ride home again.
