Further investigation revealed the child was not injured during the first diaper change by daycare staff. The injury to the child was noticed by the daycare staff but no one notified the police department or child protective services. Terrance Charles Beard was interviewed by police detectives and admitted that he did assault the 4 month old child. The case was screened by the Bell County District Attorney's office and a complaint was returned charging Beard with Aggravated Sexual Assault to a Child. Beard was arraigned by Justice of Peace Garland Potvin and a bond of $200,000.00 dollars was set. He is in the process of being transferred to the Bell County Jail.

HAWAII NOT?
But a visit to our homegrown tropical paradise doesn't have to drop your credit score to batting-average levels. Read on. OAHU Home to Honolulu, Waikiki and the North Shore, Oahu is quintessential Hawaii and the most developed of the islands. For that reason, it caters to all budgets yet still holds its own in terms of natural beauty. For reference, just watch an episode of "Lost." STAY: The Manoa Valley Inn is a historic Victorian B&B in a residential area of Honolulu near the University of Hawaii. The Guild Suite goes for $190 and includes a king bed and a sitting room (from $120; manoavalleyinn.com). It is tough to find any lodging on the North Shore, which is why Ke Iki Beach Bungalows, a top rated, low-key condo property near Haleiwa is always booked. If you can get in, book the beachfront Gardenia bungalow for $195 (from $130, keikibeach.com).
Car Rental Costs Going Up March 1st
Mobile's latest annexation means car rental rates will go up starting March 1st. Last month, the City Council voted unanimously to annex all of the Mobile Regional Airport's land, extending the city limits west to Snow Road. The higher city sales tax takes effect March 1. The sales tax rate for businesses on airport property will increase from 7.5 percent to 9 percent, while the sales tax rate for businesses in the newest portions of the police jurisdiction -- which stretches three miles beyond the airport -- will rise from 5.5 percent to 7.5 percent. City officials estimate the city will receive an extra $1 million a year from the sales tax bump at the airport. If businesses have any questions, please contact the City of Mobile at 251.208.7462. .
Turkoglu is focal point of Magic offense
But there were other stats that won't show up in box scores that emphasized Turkoglu's prowess as a playmaker: Over the course of his 40 minutes of daylight (another game-high total), he had 59 touches an astounding number for a power forward. He also made 42 passes, another amazing stat. Turkoglu was also entrusted with making most of the team's entry passes to posted teammates including two to Rashard Lewis, one to Brian Cook and five to Dwight Howard. On 11 offensive sets, it was Turkoglu who carried the ball across the time-line. For the most part, Turkoglu set burly high screens, then was presented himself with high screens and looked to create something from a spot that was straightaway and near the 3-point line. (Credit him with a gorgeous assist-pass to Adonal Foyle on a high screen/roll.) Or else Turkoglu simply cut through the middle and received the ball after reversing direction and popping back out.
For horse lovers, Calgary, Canada, has it all
Calgary, the largest city in the province of Alberta, Canada, is on the rise. Over the past few years, local oil companies have enjoyed unprecedented riches from a burgeoning petroleum industry, fueled in part by the oil sands near Fort McMurray to the north. Calgary has also sprouted a vibrant high-tech industry, with hundreds of new companies and dozens of new buildings to house them. Even the housing market is taking off - a rarity at a time when home sales are slumping across most of the continent. Amid all of this growth, one of Calgary's biggest industries is a throwback to the days of the Old West: horses. Every summer (this year it's July 4-13) the city hosts the biggest exhibition and rodeo in the world, the Calgary Stampede. George Brookman recently became president of that organization, and shared some pointers for the best horse-oriented activities in town.

Terrorists launch 21/7 appeal bid
The four, all jailed for life for plotting to detonate ruscksack bombs on the capital's transport network, are seeking leave to appeal against their convictions. Muktar Said Ibrahim, Yassin Omar, Ramzi Mohammed and Hussain Osman were found guilty by a jury of conspiracy to murder at Woolwich Crown Court last year. They were filmed trying to blow up three Underground trains at Shepherd's Bush, Oval station and Warren Street stations and a bus in Hackney Road just two weeks after 52 commuters died in the 7/7 terror attacks. The four claimed the plot was an elaborate hoax to protest against anti-Muslim foreign policy and said their home made chapatti-flour bombs were designed to go off without causing injury. George Carter-Stephenson QC, for Muktar Said Ibrahim, the alleged leader of the conspiracy, said the trial judge should not have let jurors hear what Ibrahim told police in "safety" interviews conducted immediately after he was seized in July 2005.
