WTC 7: why they needed to CGI the CD
CGI: Computer Graphic Imagery / CD: Controlled Demolition
I will dedicate this post to Andy Tyme, an excellent and most articulate 'veteran' 9/11 writer who keeps battling it out at Jim Fetzer's 9/11 SCHOLAR'S FORUM. Andy seems to back most of our research here - but has recently expressed reservations as to the CGI nature of the available "WTC7 collapse clips". He reckons that the WTC7 imagery is genuine - as he wrote yesterday on this thread: http://911scholars.ning.com/forum/topic ... mment64070
Dear Andy, here are the reasons why I believe the WTC7 imagery is CGI too. There aren't that many clips of the "WTC7 collapse" - let this be said - yet ALL contain anomalies, contradictory dynamics & evident CGI features of one sort or another. Let's start from the NBC clip which was shown on LIVE TV and commented by Dan Rather. Here's a cropped/enlarged version of three frames extracted from the original TV archives. You see, those thick black linings are clear clues to digital compositing. There really isn't any scientific excuse (photographically speaking) for these fat, flickering, black linings :
And here's another obvious CGI example of the WTC7 collapse - as aired on TV on September 11, 2001. Obvious? Well, decide for yourself:
Please go to my WTC7 STUDY video and watch the full clip - dancing smoke and all ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... _cLg#t=414
So much for the atrocious and quite absurdly poor/blurry/candy-colored images we were shown ON LIVE TV on 9/11. But please keep in mind that HARDLY ANY SHARPER IMAGERY OF THE WTC7 COLLAPSE was aired on TV that day. Now, let's watch - AND LISTEN - to the WTC7 collapse, as depicted in the Naudet brother's slick feature-movie "911" (which, of course, was released well after September 11, 2001):
full link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UBHwsp1PAw
As you can HEAR, the audio is totally bogus and is certainly not genuine: WHY would anyone, in post-production, change/replace the original audio of such a unique, historical event? Just think about it: DO WE HAVE ANY ORIGINAL AUDIO of the WTC7 collapse? NO - we don't! Don't you think the audio of such an event would be JUST AS historically relevant as the visuals of it? Have you ever heard what the collapses sounded like?...But let's get on.
It turns out that we are asked to believe that another cameraman (with a tripod) was standing right alongside that NAUDET guy who supposedly filmed the WTC7 collapse (on a tripod too it seems, the "NAUDET camera" being rock steady). Now, please understand that the ODDS of two different cameramen, with both cameras mounted on tripods and framing almost the EXACT same view in their lens ... well the (astronomical) odds of such an occurence is up for YOU to compute. Good luck! To this day, all the arguments for such 'coincidences' have been incredibly lame.
NAUDET CLIP: This next clip is from the Naudet feature-movie "9/11". The left part of the building appears to 'expand' Eastwards. Note: the left side does NOT appear to tilt - it just expands and goes straight down in the first 2seconds of the collapse. Agreed? Now, whether you're a structural engineer or not, does this 'expanding effect' (of that ONE side only) appear physically realistic to you? Do we have ANY images of a bottom-up controlled demolition that looks like this? If so, let me know - I'm really curious to learn how a collapsing building would expand like a chewing-gum being stepped on.
MIRACLE ZOOM-IN clip: In this other clip (seemingly shot by someone from a private apartment), the top East corner of WTC7 clearly appears to tilt Westwards as it goes down.Please click on this link to watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wn5T7bl ... page#t=102
As you can see, here the East corner of WTC7 doesn't expand and clearly tilts 'Westwards'...
...unlike the 'expanding/vertical' Naudet collapse - with that East corner smoothly descending in a straight line. Let's compare them:
Here's another newly released (2010) shot of the burning WTC7 - a version of which (completely "washed-out", blurry and colorless) was initially aired on CBS soon after 9/11. NO wonder that they chose to downgrade their imagery in the early stages of their TV hoax! Their digital building renderings sucked!
AT LEFT: Here's how the (reddish-brown) WTC7 appeared in the Naudet feature-movie "911" - not kidding you, folks!
In fact, that awful, white-washed shot (credited to the Naudet brothers) is simply extracted from the same absurd 'news clip' aired by CBS which some of you may be familiar with - featuring CBS reporter VINCE, "the guy who discovers what war is like". Here it is:
full link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Szgj5yUSdc
We then have this 'never-seen-before' clip (i.e. released many years later - like so many other 9/11 clips...) Can we really believe that such 'historical'. world-defining images were kept in a drawer for years? Zapruder, anyone? "Previously unseen WTC7 collapse video": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c611FK37Un8
Here's a frame of that clip which ends with an eerie view of a TOTALLY deserted surrounding area - and which, by the way, features yet another 'Miracle Zoom Out' just as the building starts collapsing... and just like we have seen in countless other 9/11 clips.
Miracle Zoom Out: (see more Miracle Zoom Outs here: http://www.septemberclues.info/miracle_zooms.htm )
THE SOLOMON BUILDING (aka WTC7) - and its symbolism
As for WHY it was decided to make the WTC7 'mysteriously collapse' many hours after the "Binladen airplane attack"(and why they concocted this obvious red herring for the 9/11 truther community to chew on), you will need to dig into the historical/mystical significance this Solomon Temple represents for some fanatic individuals of this planet. You may start your digging by simply consulting this Wickedpedia page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon's_Temple
Dear Andy, this is absolutely no attack on my part on your beliefs. The thing is, my logical process - driven not only by my steady imagery research - brings me to the conclusion that NOTHING was left to chance in the planning of this 9/11 psyop. Even the late WTC7 collapse was pre-planned and digitally pre-rendered. Let me just back my beliefs with a few technical questions:
1: Why don't we see ANY of those classic demolition flashes popping all around WTC7 before it collapsed? Are we to believe that they somehow popped all of this building "from inside" - with some hitherto unknown technique? Ask any demolition expert (no, not 'Danny Jowenko' who was supposedly whacked so as to discourage real demo experts to come forward...) how this could possibly be achieved. For sure, clowns like Judy Wood and Dimitri Khalezov would have us believe that some SUPER WEAPON was used. I can only hope that people don't buy their obvious media-gatekeeping (and similar garbage such as that inane hologram theory peddled by Fetzer - aided by his Scottish poodle Richard Hall).
All of the above-mentioned clowns are most blatantly protecting the media's role on 9/11:
"CRASHING PLANES?" - Oh, what TV showed were REAL holograms filmed by REAL cameras!
"PYROCLASTIC COLLAPSES?" - Oh, what TV showed were REAL collapses (caused by SUPER-WEAPONS) filmed by REAL cameras!"
It really boggles my mind that so many sharp, longtime 9/11 researchers fall for their utterly idiotic bullcrap.
2: Has ANY building in the history of controlled demolitions EVER collapsed in the way that the above videos depict it? I don't think so. Therefore, why are we supposed to believe in that imagery - knowing that 9/11 hoax was fundamentally based on fake imagery?
Need I remind you of my stance? I believe the WTC towers were downed with quite conventional demolition explosives - and it didn't go too well : all of 9 (yes, NINE!) buildings around them suffered severe damages - and had to be disposed with in the aftermath. Everything took place behind a visually impenetrable wall, a simple military-grade smokescreen - the most elementary subterfuge / sleight of hand known to man - and no bystander was able to make ANY visual sense out of it all. How can this perspective be so hard to consider ?

Four months removed from a hospitalization after an overdose of medication, Alexa Ray Joel is embracing her fresh start – and doing so with a new look.
Alexa, the daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, hit the red carpet at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City this week with one new accessory – a new nose.
As it turns out, the starlet said she's been considering getting the work done for quite some time.
"I was thinking about getting this for years," she told People. "[My nose] always bothered me a little bit. I was self-conscious of pictures taken from the side. To some people that's vain, but at the end of the day, we all want to feel pretty."
The 24-year-old Alexa, who was recently named the new face of hair care brand Prell, said the timing was right for the change.
"Would it have been smart to get this procedure last year? No. I didn't know who I was," she continued. "And now? "I feel really good."
However, if anyone is thinking the procedure is the first step in a complete plastic surgery transformation, Alexa says think again.
"Would I do anything else to my body? No," she added, calling out another starlet who recently underwent a drastic makeover. "It's not 10 procedures like Heidi Montag. For me, that's a little extreme, but to each her own."

Tom has a new flick out this weekend, which seemed like an appropriate time to remind all of you that he's still hot. Yeah, he's at that age where, chances are, your mom is talking about him more than you are, but you should still be talking about Tom Cruise.
Did he go crazy on Oprah's couch that one time? Sure. Is he a Scientologist? Yeah, but don't act like you never lusted after one of those awkward Mormon boys when they tried to sell church at your front door. That stuff doesn't matter.
What matters is that Tom Cruise is still an awesome actor and so much fun to watch, and he's still damn sexy. And I'm not talking like, sexy "for his age" (which is 50 — whoa). He's just sexy, period.
And if you don't agree, let the photos below do the talking, including a few shots of his crazy W Magazine shoot to promote 'Rock of Ages' last year, where we were all, "WHAT IS UP WITH THAT BODY. YES PLEASE."
Anyway, you love Tom Cruise. We love Tom Cruise. Go see 'Oblivion' this weekend and love Tom Cruise some more.

Twenty-three Division II minority athletics administrators this month got a taste of the NCAA committee experience in a program designed to facilitate their future leadership and involvement.
For the sixth year, Division II partnered with the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association to host the Governance Academy, a daylong event where selected administrators learned about the division's governance processes. This year's event was held on June 8 in Orlando in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Convention and the MOAA Symposium.
"The resources that are provided during the Governance Academy show rising individuals the importance of being involved outside of their institution's campus, and it gives them avenues of how they can become involved," said Peggy Davis, Athletics Director at Virginia State University and a member of the MOAA executive board of directors.
Part of the day's activities included a simulated Management Council meeting that generated discussion on current issues within the division. After participating in the meeting, Erienne Roberts, the assistant athletic director for compliance at Slippery Rock, said she feels more prepared to seek a seat on an NCAA committee down the road. "The information they gave was informative, but it wasn't overwhelming," Roberts said.
"It seemed like it was possible and do-able for people to serve on these committees. I think it was a great experience."

We are simply christians (Acts 11:26, 26:28, 1Pet 4:15-16), followers of Christ, and we comprise a church that is "of Christ" (Romans 16:16).
We do not wear or accept any designations not found in the scripture, and we do not subscribe to any creed written by fallible men. Christ is our only creed, the Bible our only guide.
We are striving to be a church after the pattern found in the New Testament. This involves how we become Christians, how we live our lives, the way we are organized as Christ's church, and the work that we do as such.
We are trying to speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where it is silent, to do BIble things in BIble ways and to call Bible things by Bible names. We are interested in honoring God in following His Son, Jesus Christ, and in learning, applying, and teaching His word.
We are your neighbors, fellow workers, and fellow students. We are Christians who desire that all men be saved just as God does (2Pet 3:9).

Warren:1 City (1990 pop. 144,864), Macomb co., SE Mich., a suburb of Detroit; est. 1837, inc. as a city 1957. It is an important metalworking center where steel is processed. There is tool and die making and the production of automobile parts, although the auto industry has suffered since the late 1970s. Warren's vast Detroit Arsenal, which made military vehicles, closed in 1996. The U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command is headquartered in Warren, and the large General Motors Technical Center is also there.
2 City (1990 pop. 50,793), seat of Trumbull co., NE Ohio, in the fertile Mahoning valley; settled 1799, inc. as a city 1905. An early coal center, Warren's industries have greatly diversified. Steel, metal-forming machinery, electrical equipment, lamps, and automobile and truck parts are the principal manufactures. The Trumbull campus of Kent State Univ. is in the city.
3 Borough (1990 pop. 11,122), seat of Warren co., NE Pa., on the Allegheny River; laid out c.1795, inc. 1832. An early lumbering center, Warren is in wooded country near oil and natural gas reserves. There is agriculture (grain, livestock, and dairying), food processing, and the manufacture of metal and plastic products, transportation and electronic equipment, and machinery. The headquarters of Allegheny National Forest are there. Nearby are Edinboro Univ. of Pennsylvania and a Native American reservation.
4 Town (1990 pop. 11,385), Bristol co., E R.I., a suburb of Providence on the Kickemuit River and Narragansett Bay; established as an English trading post in 1632, inc. 1747. An early whaling, shipbuilding, and textile center, it is now an industrial and resort town. Manufactures include automobile equipment, clothing, plastics, and luggage. Many fine old houses and churches survive. Warren was transferred from Massachusetts to Rhode Island in 1746. Brown Univ. was first chartered there (1764) as Rhode Island College. During the American Revolution, Warren was burned (1778) by the British.
war·ren / ˈwôrən; ˈwä-/ • n. (also rabbit warren) a network of interconnecting rabbit burrows. ∎ a densely populated or labyrinthine building or district: a warren of narrow gas-lit streets. ∎ Brit., hist. an enclosed piece of land set aside for breeding game, esp. rabbits.

Getting on a horse every week reminds Brian Sawlsville of Rochelle what walking feels like.
The former U.S. Army staff sergeant's vertebra snapped when a roadside bomb exploded during his third tour of duty in Iraq in 2007. He started riding weekly at Pegasus Special Riders in 2012.
"When it's open, I'm there," he said. Several weeks ago he began riding a horse that could challenge him more — Ginger.
"When you ride, your hips move along with the horse's hips, like if you are walking," he explained, adding that he hoped that his body might potentially make use of that muscle memory in his recovery.
But the benefit he sees from riding does not stop with the physical.
"For me, being in a wheelchair now, I struggle with a lot of stuff. Riding relaxes me. For an hour or so, all of that frustration goes out."
Therapeutic riding is much more than pony rides for special-needs kids, according to Zina Leary, Pegasus's executive director. The physical benefit of riding horses has been understood for decades, even centuries, and is supported by research.
The Oregon facility serves more than 50 people with disabilities or medical conditions through 15 weekly therapeutic riding classes, said Leary. The students range from toddlers to seniors in retirement.
The disabilities can be anything, said Leary. "Physical, mental, emotional — all can benefit from therapeutic riding. We had one gentleman who went through a stroke and rode with us for quite a while." All that is needed to enroll in classes is a diagnosis.
And the disability does not have to be a physical one.
"Even children with attention deficit disorder and learning disabilities can benefit because therapeutic riding can help a lot with focus."
The program has a minimal fee for participants and some scholarships are available.
The Rock Solid Public Guardians, a law enforcement motorcycle club, is organizing a fundraiser Sept. 13 to help with the operating expenses for Pegasus Special Riders.
"Twin Rumble for the Riders" will begin with a motorcycle run starting at the Pegasus ranch early in the afternoon and close with a pro wrestling event that evening at Abraham's Bar and Grille in Rochelle.
"Our dispatch supervisor has a granddaughter with scoliosis who rides at Pegasus, and I personally was surprised to learn about the physical benefits of riding," said Sgt. Jason Bergeron of the Rochelle Police Department and president of Rock Solid Public Guardians. "Frankly, I'm amazed at what I've seen there."
Bergeron said he hopes the Twin Rumble will become an annual event for Pegasus.
Events like these fund a sizable portion of the facility's expenses, said Leary. "We rely heavily on the support of our community."
Therapeutic riding is a volunteer-intensive enterprise, she said. Often riders require as many as three volunteers, two side-walkers and a leader. All of the instructors are volunteers, and then there is the care of the 18 horses currently in the Pegasus herd.
With an annual operating budget of $100,000 and only two paid employees on staff, Leary said she always is looking for more volunteers. "Without our volunteers, we wouldn't have a program."
Most volunteers do not have horse experience coming in and are trained at Pegasus, she said. Pegasus volunteers range in age from 13 to 83 years old.
While classes meet from March up until the week before Thanksgiving, horse care is needed year-round. Classes don't meet during the winter, because the class arena is not heated.
The Pegasus ranch is located 40 miles southwest of Rockford between Oregon and Dixon. There are two more sessions of classes this year: Aug. 25-Oct. 2 and Oct. 13-Nov. 20.
Pegasus Special Riders has been in operation since 1997 and is accredited through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) International. All instructors are PATH certified.
For more information about enrolling in classes or volunteering, call 815-973-3177 or visit pegasusspecialriders.org.

We don't know if anyone will ever top Merritt Wever's acceptance speech at the Emmys last night. It was brief (to put it mildly), but it was perfect.
Wever won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for 'Nurse Jackie,' beating out Jane Lynch, Julie Bowen and other comedy luminaries. In honor of her speech, we'll keep this short. Good job, Merritt Wever. And great GIF:

An Opportunity to Invest in a Historic Fort Point Arts Building:
Permanent Affordable Live/Work Studios for Boston Artists
Fundamental to the arts in Boston is a place for artists to live and work. That place is Midway Studios, 89 live/work studios, which have recently been put on the market for sale. We present you here with a very nice investment opportunity. With investment opportunities ranging from just $1,000 up to $1.7 million, you can be a part of this historic acquisition while gaining an attractive rate of return.
We have exceeded our initial fundraising goal of $1 million dollars due on February 5th: Within 14 business days we raised $1.1 million. Many people thought this was not possible - it was.
To close the sale we must raise an additional $1.1 million in investments by April 1.
As Boston's largest affordable live/work building, Midway Studios was established in 2005 as a place for artists to live and work affordably in Boston, when the real estate boom swept through Fort Point and displaced hundreds of working artists. Midway Studios is unique and pivotal as the only remaining artist rental building in Fort Point, successfully operating for nine years at a very high occupancy.
The rental model allows emerging artists a place to stay and work in Boston, and artists from around the world to come and work in Boston. It encourages the free flow of ideas between disciplines and generations. We have artists from around the world currently living and working at Midway Studios.
The sale of Midway Studios threatens to destabilize the arts community that has developed in Fort Point if this live/work space is purchased by a developer who does not have a commitment to the arts. To secure the artistic accessibility and integrity of this important building, the Midway resident artists partnered with New Atlantic Development, a Boston real estate developer with a significant track record in arts-related projects, to present a successful bid to purchase Midway Studios and form a non-profit corporation, Midway Artist Collective, Inc, to own and operate the building. If we are successful, this will bring genuine ownership investment to the residents. Our story was featured in a front page article by the Boston Globe.
In order to secure the final piece of financing and make this purchase a reality, Midway Artist Collective, Inc. is offering an opportunity to invest in Ten-Year Term Subordinate Investment Notes, which will accrue interest on the principal amount at an annual rate of Eight Percent (8.0%), payable to investors each year by January 15. The principal amount of the Investment Notes will be payable ten years from the estimated April 2014 closing of the acquisition. Please refer to the detailed terms and conditions provided in the Confidential Offering at MidwayFund.com for more information.
The artists have already pledged $517 thousand of their own money towards this goal, raised an additional $583 thousand and are diligently seeking additional investors.
For more information please visit the subscription page and download the Confidential Offering.
Midway Artist Collective, Inc.
"Within days, the majority of artists living there had met, pledging to kick in $500,000 of their own money to help buy the building. They also banded together with New Atlantic, a development company that is working to recruit additional investors to help preserve the building as artist studios and housing."

IDEA is dedicated to the reform of economics.
Our goal is to educate policy-makers, the public and economists in the Three Basics: debt matters, money matters and the economy is a dynamic system.
Economics failed to predict the biggest economic event in generations, failed to repair the damage, and fails to provide relief to real businesses and real people in the aftermath.
Support, amplify and collaborate with the work of Economists already in the field.
"The fundamental cause of the economic and financial crisis that began in late 2007 was lending by the finance sector that primarily financed speculation rather than investment. The private debt bubble this caused is unprecedented, probably in human history and certainly in the last century. Its unwinding now is the primary cause of the sustained slump in economic growth."
Steve Keen is chief economist for IDEA and guides the substantive activities of the organization, currently head of Economics, History and Politics at Kingston University London.
MINSKY Dynamic Economic Modeling Software. A revolutionary free open-source computer program for building and simulating dynamic, monetary economic models. A vital tool for a new approach to economics, optimized for accounting-based, flow-of-funds analysis.
The book: Finance and Economic Breakdown. A comprehensive, foundational book that develops an explicitly monetary, dynamic approach to the analysis of capitalism and its periodic financial crises.
TSL/IDEA Data Store. A data tool for serious economists and students, offering functionality not elsewhere available. Developed and hosted in-house.
IDEA Effective Unemployment Rates. A Simple, robust methodology converts the headline US unemployment rate and the "All-In" U-6 rate to a single, descriptive number that accounts for the drop in the participation rate.

Yeah. It's pretty damn cold outside. In fact, when we left for the gym this morning, it was a whopping four degrees. Well, we don't know about you, but images of warm destinations bathed in sunlight are all we can think about. At the same time, of course, we're dreaming about what we'd be wearing at said destinations — and it certainly wouldn't be a puffer coat.
To help you with a little visual inspiration, Handle With Care boutique owner Brinton Coxe tells us about the latest resort wear essentials. Click through to see this season's trends paired with a cool new item from Coxe's shop. And, hopefully, we'll bump into you at the airport sometime soon.

holy sh------t!!!!! did anyone see frenchyleds list on pg 3 it is longer than ledmeuseam's
Guess being a new member I should at least throw in my modest accumulation of torches (flashlights for the rest of the world):
Surefire 6P (awaiting a m60 upgrade) Ended up using the Lighthound drop in, works great
Fenix T1 (Lives in my Kifaru ZXR as primary field use light) Replaced with Olight M30
Fenix P2D (EDC in Kifaru X-ray) Replaced with Olight M20 R2
Fenix P1 (lives in my car glove box) Still there
Fenix LOD (I have 4 of these animals and love them all, they live in the elastic sides of all my leatherman wave pouches where they fit so well, yes I have 4 x leatherman waves). 3 of these LOD's have gone walkabout with one of my leatherman waves
Fenix EO1 (on my key-chain) Replaced with Olight Ti AAA
Jetbeam MKII Tad Edition (x 2 of these animals that live in each of my bug out bags) Plus a TK20 also now in BOB
Petzl Tactikka XP (Also lives in my Kifaru ZXR as primary field head lamp) Now modded with SSC P4 plus a second Tactikka XP
Petzl E-lite (2 of these animals also live in each of my BOB's) Still there
Maglite 6D (LED upgrade lives next to front door, of course the primary use of a 6D has never been as a device for illumination has it )
Maglite 5D x 2 (LED upgrade lives in clips mounted behind my drivers seat also as above) Now with Terralux 300M
Maglite 3D (LED upgrade for she who must be obeyed to use as above, of course I don't give her one as big as mine) This is now my work light
Maglite 2D with LED upgrade (for her indoors to use)
Minimags (about a dozen of these animals with various LED upgrades that are used by the kids mainly, if they loose it's no big deal)
Maglite Solitaire (LED upgrade)
Fulton 2D Angle Head ex Mil (LED upgrade, one of my sentimental favourites that is a good around the house when lurking in the dark due to tail stand and 40+ hr run time)
UltraFire P7 (it is just a toy for scaring stray cats away)
EverReady 2AA Rubber Body (This is a very heavy duty rubber case that I have upgraded to LED and it lives in my car tool box).
LED Lenser Quattro (my 8 year old son seems to have acquired this one) Now nine year old and he is also becoming addicted
I recon I have a couple more about the place must have a good look, I must admit I have lots more but I am too scared to put them all in one place at one time
Did not think I had so many until I committed to listing them!
Perhaps I really am addicted

Queenslanders affected by the latest floods will soon be able to apply for financial help.
The federal government is on Wednesday opening up flood assistance for primary producers and small business owners and their employees affected by the latest flood disaster.
In Brisbane for a briefing on the G20 summit, Prime Minister Julia Gillard expressed her sympathy for the people of Gympie who were hit by their second major flood in a month.
Ms Gillard said it had been a heartbreaking summer for residents.
"We will continue to work with the state government and the people of Gympie to help them through this difficult time," she told reporters.
About 50 business and 30 properties in the town were flooded overnight after days of heavy rain.
Tourists and locals have been advised to stay safe and indoors on Wednesday night with many roads in the Gympie region still cut by slow falling floodwaters.
Mayor Ron Dyne says as the water falls the amount of damage is being revealed with washouts, potholes and debris such as trees lying across roads.
"Several key roads will remain cut-off well into tomorrow, including the Bruce Highway south of Gympie, the Normanby Bridge connecting Gympie and the Southside and Tin Can Bay Road," he said.
"Council and Main Roads crews continue to work around the clock to open roads where it is safe to do so, but there's not much any of us can do when floodwaters fall so slowly."
Banana Shire Mayor Ron Carrige says all roads leading to Bileola are swamped.
"We're pretty well stranded at the moment," he told AAP.
Southeast of Bileola, Maryborough is preparing for the Mary River to peak at seven metres about 8am (AEST) on Thursday.
Fraser Coast Mayor Gerard O'Connell says at that level the water will only affect a few businesses and homes.
"That's one small blessing we can count, but these flood events still have a huge impact."
Residents of Bundaberg, which was devastated by its worst ever floods last month, are relieved after being told the Burnett River will not break its banks.

Baidu Price Target Cut by Credit Suisse
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Credit Suisse has cut its price target on Baidu (BIDU) to $80 from $82, on concerns that it will use $1.5 billion it recently raised to fund acquisitions.
Credit Suisse analyst Wallace Cheung writes:
On 20 November, Baidu issued a US$1.5 bn note- a US$750 mn tranche of 2.25% bonds (due 2017) and a US$750 mn tranche of 3.5% bonds (due 2022).
We expect Baidu to use proceeds for M&A and see potential targets as: (1) Kingsoft (in order to hedge against the risk of Qihoo (QIHU)). Kingsoft, the No. 2 online security company, looks a good candidate for investment; (2) UCweb: Browsers are still the main entry point for mobile search and UCweb has a 30.5% share in the local mobile browser market, according to our proprietary survey; (3) Sina Weibo (SINA): Baidu is able to increase mobile user engagement. However, we take Weibo and Autonavi's recent cooperation on map service as implying Weibo is a less likely candidate...
...We rate Baidu UNDERPERFORM; as M&A is both costly and risky; but note calculated risk is part of the business.

Jason Kidd to Bucks after Nets agree to deal: report
NEW YORK (AP) — A person with knowledge of the details says the Bucks and Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a deal allowing Jason Kidd to become Milwaukee's coach. The Nets will receive a second-round draft pick in 2015 and 2019.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced.
Kidd went 44-38 in his only season as Nets coach, but then sought control of the basketball operations department and was denied. The Nets gave him permission to talk to other teams about a job.
Milwaukee still has coach Larry Drew under contract.AlertMe

Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk (I-D)
The Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth who are Neglected, Delinquent or At-Risk provide financial assistance to educational programs for youths in state-operated institutions or community day programs. The program also provides financial assistance to support school districts' programs involving collaboration with locally operated correctional facilities. The expanding juvenile correctional system and the educational deficits of most correctional education students pose challenges to the delivery of educational services to neglected and delinquent youths. In 1998-99, state agency programs served 170,000 neglected and delinquent students, while local agency programs served an additional 92,000 students in local correctional facilities. Participants in state institutions in 1998 were overwhelmingly male (89 percent), a little more than half (51 percent) were African American, and 53 percent were between the ages of 14 and 17.
WHAT'S NEW--The No Child Left Behind Act
Focuses on What Works
- Improves transition services. State education agencies (SEAs) are to designate an individual in each correctional facility or institution for neglected or delinquent children and youths to concentrate on providing participants with the knowledge and skills needed to make a successful transition to secondary school completion, vocational or technical training, further education, or employment. Poor educational follow-up is the most frequently reported challenge in meeting these students' needs. In the past, few state agencies used program funds to provide transition services. The new legislation encourages state agencies to support the transition of children and youths from state-operated institutions to schools served by local school districts, and to successfully help youth offenders with a secondary school diploma enter postsecondary education or vocational and technical training programs.
- Provides technical assistance to SEAs. Federally supported technical assistance providers will help with capacity-building of state agency programs. In 1999, state agencies reported that the greatest need for technical assistance among institutional staff included program evaluation, setting up evaluation procedures, analyzing program evaluation results, designing a needs assessment, and testing issues. Although most state agencies required institutions to evaluate their program annually, only three-fourths of state agencies required institutions to include participant achievement information in their evaluations. State agencies that lack the capacity to address these issues will be able to receive the technical assistance they need to improve their educational programs for children and youths who are neglected or delinquent.
Increases Accountability for Student Performance
- Develops a uniform evaluation model. Improves the effectiveness of programs administered by SEAs by developing a uniform evaluation model to assess the educational achievement and outcomes of neglected or delinquent children and youths. A uniform model will enable all state agencies to use a common set of evaluation methods and procedures to assess program implementation, student achievement, and the successful transition of these students into educational institutions or employment.
Closes the Achievement Gap for Disadvantaged Students
- Makes students returning from correctional facilities a priority. The school district programwill focus primarily on the transition and academic needs of students returning from corrections facilities. Often, there is a disconnect between the programs of local schools and correctional facilities, which results in low student achievement. As students make the transition from correctional facilities back to their local schools, theywill receive the follow-up services they need to continue their education and to meet the same challenging state standards required of all students.
- Coordinates achievement activities. State education agencies are to encourage correctional facilities to coordinate with school districts or alternative education programs so that student assessments and academic records are shared jointly and used to guide the planning and operation of the Title I neglected or delinquent program at the institution level.Very few state agencies have as their objective for Title I-funded services to assist neglected or delinquent students to meet the same statewide achievement standards established for all public school students. Improved coordination between school districts and correctional facilities will help develop continuity between the educational services provided to these students.
How It Works
Under SEA programs, states receive formula funds based on the number of children in state-operated institutions and per-pupil educational expenditures. Each state's allocation is generated by child counts in state juvenile institutions that provide at least 20 hours of instruction from nonfederal funds and adult correctional institutions that provide 15 hours of instruction a week. The SEA then makes subgrants to state agencies based on their proportional share of the state's adjusted enrollment count of neglected or delinquent children and youths.
Under local agency programs, the SEA awards subgrants to districts with high numbers or percentages of children and youth in locally operated juvenile correctional facilities, including facilities involved in community day programs.
Key Requirements
State agencies and districts that conduct a program under Title I for neglected or delinquent children and youths are required to:
- Meet the educational needs of neglected, delinquent, and at-risk children and youths, and assist in the transition of these students from correctional facilities to locally operated programs.
- Ensure that these students have the same opportunities to achieve as if they were in local schools in the state.
- Evaluate the program and disaggregate data on participation by gender, race, ethnicity, and age, not less than once every three years.
How Quality Is Measured
The required state agency and school district evaluations will determine the program's impact on the ability of these students to:
- Maintain and improve educational achievement.
- Accrue school credits that meet state requirements for grade promotion and secondary school graduation.
- Make the transition to a regular program or other education program operated by a school district.
- Complete secondary school and obtain employment after leaving the correctional facility or institution for neglected or delinquent children and youths.
- Participate in postsecondary education and job-training programs.
SEAs may reduce or terminate funding for projects if the agency does not show progress in reducing student dropout rates.
Key Activities For State Education Agencies
- SEAs may require correctional facilities or institutions for neglected or delinquent children and youth to demonstrate that there has been an increase in the number of children and youths returning to school, obtaining a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent, or obtaining employment after the children and youths are released.

In a cosmic sense, that's probably true, and we admire Brandon's stoicism.
Short term, though, that tweet from just after the game turned out to be wrong: Rush had gone down awkwardly after a foul on a dunk attempt, and an MRI today revealed a torn ACL. After playing in only two games, he'll miss the rest of the season. Luckily, Rush has a two-year deal, so he'll have an opportunity to prove his worth in Golden State, but it's still a raw deal for a player we like and a team that deals with more than its fair share of injuries.

On Thursday, the Minnesota Timberwolves "hired" Flip Saunders, who is already their president of basketball operations, as head coach.
According to Yahoo Sports, the Utah Jazz has a deal in place with former Lakers assistant Quin Snyder to fill its head coaching vacancy.
Snyder was an assistant with the Lakers under Mike Brown during the 2011-12 season.
That leaves the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Lakers as the only three NBA teams still in need of a head coach.
The Knicks are believed to be zeroing in on former Lakers point guard Derek Fisher, who is mulling whether to end his playing career after a Western Conference finals appearance with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Lakers have some interest in hiring Fisher, but are taking a more leisurely pace in making a hire -- while Knicks President Phil Jackson appears ready to make Fisher a multiyear offer.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been linked to Chicago Bulls assistant Adrian Griffin, Clippers assistant Tyronn Lue and Clippers associate head coach Alvin Gentry.
The Lakers have also interviewed Gentry, along with Byron Scott, Lionel Hollins, Mike Dunleavy and Kurt Rambis.
On Wednesday, Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak said the search is "ongoing."
Steve Kerr filled the open vacancy with the Golden State Warriors after a flirtation with the Knicks. Stan Van Gundy was hired both as coach and president of basketball operations with the Detroit Pistons.
Before naming Saunders coach, the Timberwolves initially attempted to hire Memphis Grizzlies Coach David Joerger -- but he chose to stay in Memphis.
If the Lakers had college coaches John Calipari (Kentucky) and Kevin Ollie (Connecticut) on their list, both received extensions to stay in the NCAA.
The Lakers will eventually hire a head coach -- but they may just wait until they have the only open position after the Knicks and Cavaliers finish their search.
