Baruch College's Newman Real Estate Institute Partners with ASHRAE to Examine Implications of Recovery Costs, Health Risks and Remediation Efforts Related to Superstorm Sandy
NEW YORK, NY-April 8, 2013 ? The Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute at Baruch College, CUNY, in collaboration with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) will present an important conference that will inform the urban future of New York City. On April 11, from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., six national experts on disaster recovery and remediation will participate in the conference, "Don't Miss This Step! ? Lessons to Be Learned from Superstorm Sandy" to develop a strategic action plan that will enable more effective property restoration during the recovery efforts of Superstorm Sandy. The forum, scheduled in room 750 of The William and Anita Newman Conference Center at Baruch College, will also highlight critical restoration tactics that can potentially save lives within the disaster stricken northeast region, as well as similar global areas.
As warmer spring weather approaches our region many of the buildings that were affected by Superstorm Sandy may begin to experience problems that will endanger their inhabitability. The conference will explore the serious situations that may develop due to stacks of debris left over much of the area that have microbial growth. Also of great concern, flooding damaged both commercial and residential buildings that are odler and built with massive timber structures, and flooded transformer, boilers, power cables and switching gears may soon fail and potentially cause fires.
The panel of experts will consider several conditions that hold a high potential for future occupant risk and emerging building problems. The panelists will present their evaluation of a) the probability of adverse outcome; b) quantify the seriousness of an adverse impact; c) outline mitigation strategies; d) estimate the implementation costs; and e) propose a private and public sector implementation plan. Attendees will have the opportunity to provide valuable input to the panelists.
Jack S. Nyman, Executive Director of The Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute says this conference is not just about the obvious aspects of remediation.
"This conference is also about the future, in terms of whom we should depend on for proper information and guidance for disaster occurrences," he said. "It's about developing relationships and highlighting key people in the industry who can provide the proper information to handle remediation accurately and responsibly."
The conference will use the expertise of its speakers and panelists to create solutions and develop a comprehensive plan and report that will be available to the public to minimize, or avoid, life disrupting and community destroying outcomes that often follow natural disasters.
"Recovering from a disaster is complex and we have to focus on the fact that buildings must be rebuilt in a manner that assures the health, comfort and safety of the occupants that live and work in them," said Bob Baker of ASHRAE. "This conference will create the opportunity for building owners in the greater New York are to literally change the future and prevent many of the huge problems that normally follow a storm like Superstom Sandy."
This conference will feature many subject matter experts including Cas Holloway, Deputy Mayor, City of New York (Invited); Robert D. LiMandri, Commissioner of the Department of Buildings, City of New York; Timothy G. Wentz, Vice President, ASHRAE; Judith Kunoff, Chief Architect, MTA New York City Transit; Robert G. Baker, Managing Director, BBJ Consulting Service; Scott Armour, Senior Managing Partner, Armour Applied Science, LLC; P. Michael Bowdoin, Attorney at Law, PC; Christopher D'Andrea, Acting Director, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; Ron Jerman, Operations Manager, Durst Organization; Wei Tang, Ph.D, President, QLab; and Howard Wolf, Principal, HW3 Group, LLC.
WHAT: ??????????? "Don't Miss This Step! ? Lessons to Be Learned from Superstorm Sandy"
WHEN:? ????????? Thursday, April 11, from 8:00 a.m. ? 12:00 p.m.
WHERE: ???????? The William and Anita Newman Conference Center, Room 750, 151 East 25th Street

To participate in Surname Saturday, simply create a post in which you discuss a surname and mention its origins, its geographical location(s) and how it fits into your genealogy research.
I was encouraged to do this at the beginning of the year as cousin bait, and am so very glad I did. It truly is the perfect cousin bait because any remote cousins out there interested in genealogy will probably get around to Googling that surname and hopefully find this blog. One thing I can say is that if you decide to do this one, take the surnames in an orderly manner back through the generations, and follow each back. It's easy and I've eventually been in contact with just about one cousin for each of the surnames I post!
I've taken a longish break from my Surname Saturday posts but let's get going again. I got stumped on the Trimbles because, frankly, I was having "Trouble with Trimbles" (and that reference is for Star Trek fans;)
So here goes as we follow the branches back to the Trimble family of Maryland. There are Trimbles elsewhere in the Colonies early history, but those aren't ours. Here is our bunch.
1. Diane Kelly Weintraub
2. Francis Patrick " Pat" Kelly (1916 - 2007)
3. Virginia Williams, living and loving it
4. John Lee "Lee" Kelly (1892 - 1969)
5. Helen Gertrude Zeller Kelly ( 1894 - 1985)
10. Gustav William "Gus" Zeller (1858 - 1927)
11. Moretta Workman Zeller (1859 - 1946)
22. Elijah Workman 1816 - 1864
23. Nancy Ann Troutman 1826 - 1882
44. John Workman 1779 - 1859
45. Amelia or (Abigail) Combs about 1789 - ????
John was also born in Zihlman but died just up the hill in Frostburg. Presumable, Amelia Combs was born close by Zihlman and also died in Frostburg, but proof remains elusive.
John was a farmer and in the 1840 US Census owned one slave. This was the first record of him owning slaves.
They had these children:
Rebecca Workman 1809 - before 1908. She married Solomon Hansel. They both died in Frostburg.
Kate Workman 1810 - ????. She married Noah Trimble from Wellersburg PA.
Joseph Workman 1812 - 1879. He married Louisa Knabenshue from Keyser, Mineral County, WVa.
Isaac Workman 1814 - 1897
22. Elijah Workman 1816 - 1864
Margaret Workman 1819 - 1908. She married James P. Hannah and then Harry Stevens.
John L. Workman 1821 - 11873. He married Druzilla Workman.
Stephen Workman 1823 - ????.
Cuthbert Workman 1825 - 1882. He married Nancy Conkle. He died in Danville, Knox, County, OH.
Nimrod Workman 1828 - 1870.
William Combs Workman 1831 - 1894. He married Clara Sophia Winebrenner and then Rebecca Sheffiff.
90. John Combs (1765 - 1854)
91. Margaret Trimble (1780 - 1859)
Combs family history has it that John Combs was born in Virginia and married Margaret Trimble in 1794, presumably in Allegany County, Maryland, where they had their family. Mom thinks he was from the part of Virginia that became West Virginia, and perhaps as far west as Hampshire or Morgan counties, or maybe even old Virginia's Frederick County. If he was, then it wasn't so far to go to get to Western Maryland where he ended up.
It's been thought that this John Combs served in the Revolutionary War but he would only have been 11 years old when it began. His birth year could easily be incorrect, as records from this time and place are sketchy at best. But if you look you'll find an approved SAR application from about 1940 on Ancestry.com... but I have my doubts. It is true that Military Lot #3352 was assigned to a Jacob Corns, and that could be a transcription error of some sort, but I haven't seen the original and can't really comment.
The connection that's real solid is to his brother, Cuthbert Combs/Coombs who married Margaret Trimble's sister Abigale. Cuthbert took Military Lots numbered 3408 and 3407.
This John Combs remains a mystery to me and is on the list for a full investigation because we need details, don't we? First place I'll look is Fold3.
They had these known children:
45. Amelia Combs about 1789 - ????
William Combs 1799 - 1878. He married first Marie Arnold and then Sarah Wheeler.
Mary Margaret Combs 1803 - before 1839. She married Josiah Porter and you'll find this couple on the Porter Surname Saturday post.
We know much less about these children:
Martha Combs
John Combs, who married Bathsheba Drake.
Althea Combs
182. John Trimble (about 1735 - 1802)
183. Margaret Arnold (1739 - 1805)
John Trimble and Margaret Arnold had these 8 children:
Charlotte Trimble (1765-1844). She married William Shaw Sr.
John Trimble Jr. (1767-1823). He married Elizabeth Ann Arnold.
Abigail Trimble (1771-1793). She married Cuthbert Combs.
Henry Trimble (1772-1825). He married Margaret Critchfield.
Sophia Trimble (1774-1860). She married Peter Crow.
Catherine Trimble (1774-1815). She married Kelita Potter Sr.
Note: were Sophia and Catherine twins? Looks like it!
91. Margaret Trimble (1780 - 1859)
We're way back here and out in the western most reaches of Allegany County, Maryland, and the frontier of the time, where our John Trimble was born. Our Trimbles were part of the group of families who lived on the land between Frostburg, Allegany, Maryland and Mount Savage, Allegany, Maryland, called Federal Hill. If you want to know more about this location then you've just got to check out The Evergreen Heritage Center. Here's what they have to say about the Trimble family of this area:
Eight generations ago, in the late 1700s, one of Allegany County's early settlers, Edward Grimes, built a stone foundation log home about a mile from a settlement that would become known as Mount Savage. That home was later acquired by the Winter family, who expanded the home with a large stone addition and outbuildings, creating a southern style plantation. After the Civil War, the Winter's neighbors, the Trimble family, who had also settled in the area in the late 1700s, acquired the property, further expanded the home and painted it white, and named the new farm Evergreen, in honor of the fledgling evergreen trees planted there.
These Military Lots and their locations all but predict the marriages of the time. You can look at the map and see whose lot is adjacent or really close to others and then see a marriage. The Arnolds to Trimbles. The Trimbles to Coombs, and the Workman and Porters to just about everyone in the area!
OK, it needs to be said right here that there were a bunch of Trimbles in the Colonies at this time in the early 1700s and I'm really not super familiar with all of the lines that resided outside of Maryland. Maryland, being basically a historic Catholic colony, has its separate history... not that Pennsylvanians and Virginians can't slide on over and mess up a person trying to trace a line back in time! And I know from personal experience that other Trimble lines have lived in Maryland in the early Colonial period... because I bought a book that didn't contain even one of our guys!
In order to sort out the ball of yarn that is the Trimble ancestry in this particular line, some time and effort needs to be invested, starting right here with John, and then of course his parents. But that goes on the list to do for later. If you care to you can search on John Trimble in this time period on any of the various genealogy web sites and easily find that there are a couple. So you see the problem.
Maybe John Trimble's father was David Trimble (1720-1799) born in Scotland and died in Bourbon County, Kentucky, and married Mary Houston (1724-?) and born in Kentucky. He seems to be the logical choice, and at least Mom thinks so, so it works for me until we see evidence otherwise. If so, then David's own father would be Robert Trimble (1695-?) and born in Scotland. The trail, such that it is, ends right there.
I like this line because it gets interesting and totally documentable right there on that lovely Military Map. That map tells a story, all right!

7 mm/.284 Caliber (.284) 168 gr. HPBT MatchKing
The 168 grain #1930 bullet has a large following in rifle silhouette competition, especially for rams. This bullet excels at long ranges (600-1000 yards). It has set numerous records in nearly all types of long-range rifle competition.
In handguns, this bullet has been used widely for handgun silhouettes and other target competitions. They deliver outstanding accuracy, high momentum downrange, and low sensitivity to crosswinds.
While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting, their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities in varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet, Blitz or Varminter counterparts.

|I've been a Berger 168 VLD hand loader for years. When my local shop didn't have anymore Bergers in stock, I "had" to try the Sierra 168 SMK as that's all they had left. Boy was I glad! My groups tightened up on a consistent basis with a little tweaking on my charge load. I'll stay with Sierra for now - but finding them hard to locate now. Guess I just got lucky that time!

|I use this bullet exclusively for my Target / Tactical shooting in my custom Rem 700 LA. I've made shots from 50 to over 900 yards with nothing but "in the bulls eye" accuracy. Of course, I have to "dope the scope" to get my long range shots on target, but when all is said and done, I will use only Sierra in my Tactical rifle.

Gym class at Bishop Hendricken was very basketball-centric when I went to school there. We'd play dodgeball and badminton and floor hockey once in a while, but it seemed like at least twice a week – and often times more – we'd just break up into teams and play ball.
In 2004-05, two of the gym teachers had pretty good basketball pedigrees. Jamal Gomes, the current Hendricken head coach, was there, and so was Rob McClanaghan, a former Hendricken and Syracuse player who had finished his career with the Orange in 2001.
Gomes had, and still has, a reputation for being one of the better high school coaches and former players in the state, and he certainly didn't damage that image when he routinely torched whoever felt like guarding him in class.
With McClanaghan though, there wasn't necessarily a reputation that came with him, as he was relatively new as a teacher at Hendricken. We heard that he played at Syracuse, so that became a huge point of interest for myself and my classmates initially, but I'll be honest – it was little bit of a letdown that he never played with Carmelo Anthony. Plus, he wouldn't share any juicy stories from his Syracuse days with us, which, looking back, was probably the right decision on his part.
But a couple things caught everyone's eye. First, he could shoot. Man could he shoot. It didn't matter if I was guarding him or someone seven inches taller tried their luck. Swish after swish. Second, when he talked, you listened. Sometimes it was easy to kind of goof off in gym class – but not with McClanaghan. For whatever reason, he commanded a level of respect. For instance, he wasn't even my coach in anything, but I called him "Coach Mac."
I graduated from Hendricken the following year and moved on, and he moved on as well.
And when we were both standing in Pepin Gymnasium this past Saturday morning as he co-ran the Shoot Like A Pro clinic – a comprehensive shooting clinic for kids ages 9-18 – along with former Hendricken and URI standout Jimmy Baron, I saw firsthand what he had moved on to after hearing about it for the past few years.
He now has a reputation that comes with him.
McClanaghan is considered by many to be one of the top NBA basketball trainers in the United States. His client list includes 2011 MVP Derrick Rose, three-time scoring champion and 2012 MVP runner-up Kevin Durant, all-star point guard Russell Westbrook and all-NBA performer Kevin Love.
It turns out that listening to Coach Mac has its benefits.
"I grew up in a small town, Cranston, I went to Hendricken," McClanaghan said on Saturday. "I just wanted to work out kids for extra money. Here I am, training some of the best players in the world."
His rise up the training ranks has been a gradual process. He was an assistant coach at the University of South Florida for a year after leaving Syracuse, and then he began teaching at Hendricken.
While he had been in Florida he realized how much he enjoyed working with players. With his summers free in Rhode Island, he began to focus more and more on training.
He went up to Syracuse to work out some guys there, he began to help out with some of the players at Providence College and he worked at New Jersey's prestigious ABCD basketball camp as well.
From there he interned at a facility in Florida where NBA players regularly trained. Next, he went to Las Vegas for a little while. Eventually, he wound up in Los Angeles – where he is now – with his own business, RobMacBasketball.
Through the process, he wound up with his first two clients – former Providence players Ruben Garces and Ryan Gomes.
Before long, Rose, who had attended the ABCD camp, wanted McClanaghan to be his trainer.
That was a big deal. Soon after, Westbrook and Love joined on. Rose became the No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft, while Westbrook went fourth overall, and Love went fifth.
During the season, Rose won the Rookie of the Year, and the others made all-rookie teams.
Suddenly, McClanaghan had some of the most promising young players in the game as his clients. From there, it was like an avalanche. The players he trained continued to improve, and more players came calling.
"They kind of built momentum, and I just kind of rode it out," McClanaghan said.
His trainees continued to be some of the best. Kevin Durant, considered one of the top handful of players in the league joined on. Atlanta Hawks' all-star forward Al Horford became a client, as did women's basketball standout Candace Parker and 2010 NBA Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans.
And everyone has taken notice. His work with Rose prior to Rose's 2011 MVP campaign received tons of press, and just less than four weeks ago, Sports Illustrated did a feature on how McClanaghan's work with Westbrook has helped turn him into one of the best players in the NBA.
He recently trained the NBA's newest No. 1 draft pick, Anthony Davis, who was selected by the New Orleans Hornets last month.
Coach Mac has so many big name clients that it almost seems fake.
Sometimes even he has to take a step back and say, 'Wow.'
"All the time," McClanaghan said. "Maybe every day. I'm really grateful and appreciative of what I've done and what I'm doing and hopefully what I'll continue to do. The Russell Westbrooks and Derrick Roses and Kevin Loves of the world, the Al Horfords of the world, they make my job easy. They're very humble kids who just work hard."
When I watched McClanaghan speaking to the group of about 40 kids at Hendricken on Saturday, I couldn't help but notice how fixated they were on everything he had to say, and everything he did.
I don't know if he can still shoot like he could when he was my teacher, but he certainly still commands a certain level of respect.
"I just try to bring knowledge, that I've obtained the last 10 years or so, doing this," McClanaghan said.
Amazingly enough, it didn't even seem like the kids were disappointed that Coach Mac hadn't played with Carmelo Anthony.
Names like Rose, Durant, Westbrook and Love were enough to hold their attention.

Political candidates answered questions provided by the Kirksville Daily Express
Hometown Resident of Kirksville for 40 years, born in Moberly Education Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Truman State University (1975); Master of Science in Nursing, with a Clinical Nurse Specialty in Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing, MU (1982); Completed doctoral coursework (all but dissertation) toward a PhD in Nursing, University of Kansas
Employment history State Representative, House District 2, 2007 - 2010; Served on the House Budget Committee, Health Appropriations (Departments of Health, Mental Health and Social Services), Higher Education and Agriculture Policy. Faculty, Department of Nursing, School of Health Science and Education, Truman State University, 30 years teaching Rural Public Health Nursing and Community Mental Health Nursing; Nurse Psychotherapist, NEMO Home Health Agency; Evening Nursing Supervisor and Staff Nurse, Northeast Regional Medical Center and Grim Smith Hospital. Directed Missouri Healthcare for All, a statewide advocacy group, 2011-2012. What is your stance on constitutional amendment No. 3, giving the governor increased authority in the process of selecting judges for the Missouri Supreme Court and Court of Appeals?I am a strong proponent of the Missouri Nonpartisan Court Plan. We currently have in place a long standing process that has served as the model for not only Missouri, but several other states as well. Amendment 3 would inject undue political influence into the selection of judges and would erode the model system currently in place. I do not support Amendment 3. House Bill 1227 requires equal treatment for evolution and intelligent design in both textbooks and classrooms. What is your opinion on House Bill 1227 and how would you vote if the measure came to the floor?As a woman with a deep and abiding faith I ascribe to a set of beliefs about God, the world and our place in it. The tenets of religion are best taught in the home under the guidance of parents, and in places of worship under the guidance of faith leaders. Curriculum in public schools is best designed by teachers under guidelines established by local school boards within the standards set by the Department of Education.
What are your thoughts on campaign finance reform? I strongly support campaign finance reform that includes campaign contribution limits. As someone who has run with and without campaign limits, I really feel that reform is necessary to assure that money does not have more influence in elections than the wishes of the voters. Unfortunately, the legislature overturned campaign contribution limits which had been approved overwhelmingly by Missouri voters. Since that time, we have seen the influence of large contributions by outside groups speaking louder than the voices of the people. I believe the focus should be on the candidates and the issues not outside partisan money. What is your view on the current state of Missouri's economy and what specific plans do you have for economic development in northeast Missouri?The most important concern facing northeast Missouri is the economy and how we can improve job opportunities here. Missouri is fortunate to be one of the leading states in job creation in the Midwest according to the Kansas City Business Journal. We need to find ways to assure that North Missouri gets our fair share of those jobs. The largest employers in Kirksville are education and healthcare. If we were to look to our areas of strength and work to fully fund the state's obligation to K-12 education and restore recently lost funding to higher education institutions, we would see benefits all throughout House District 3. Every school in our community would know what positions they would expand. Investing in education is key to keeping North Missouri competitive and providing the skilled workforce necessary for the jobs of the 21st century. The next legislature will have the opportunity to expand health care coverage for thousands of Missourians who currently have no insurance coverage. It will save money and save lives, while also creating jobs in our local communities. Both candidates have prior experience in state government. How will your past experiences influence your ability to serve the 3rd District for the next two years?Having served about 85 – 90 percent of this district before, I feel a deep connection to the citizens of the 3rd District. Having this deep understanding of the area and its concerns has helped me form meaningful relationships that go beyond political party that help me really address the concerns of House District 3. I have always been very open and receptive so that I can understand deeply the true costs and benefits that legislation could have on north Missouri. My recent service on the Agriculture Policy, Higher Education, and Budget Committees has provided me with an understanding of the current process and places me in a position to strongly represent our concerns in Jefferson City.

|Powered by QM on a Linux server
KnowledgeBase 00008: Windows Kernel Namespace
QM 2.8-5 changes the way in which QM manages shared memory on Windows systems. One impact of this change is that, except when using the self-contained USB installation of QM, the QMSvc service must be running for QM to work.
Shared Memory
A Windows process normally lives in its own address space where its memory is private and cannot be seen by other processes. Windows also supports the concept of shared memory where an application can request that a portion of its memory space is shared with other processes such that values written by one process can be seen by another. QM uses shared memory to store the locking tables, information about open files, and much more.
A shared memory area in Windows is identified by a name in much the same way as a file and it can have access permissions attached to it. One process creates the shared memory area and other processes can then attach to it by referencing the name. The Windows version of QM has always operated such that the first user to login creates the shared memory and subsequent users then attach to it. Unlike Linux, a shared memory area in Windows is automatically deleted when the last process using it terminates. In QM, this will be when the last user logs out. The next user to login will create the shared memory again.
A typical Windows system might have many shared memory areas used by different applications, each with their own name. Regardless of how a QM process starts (QMConsole, telnet, QMClient, etc) it needs to see the shared memory in use by any other QM processes on the system.
What has Changed?
Microsoft introduced a change in a service update to Windows XP and in later versions of Windows such that shared memory names are not necessarily shared across all processes. Instead, there is a concept of a kernel namespace where names have relevence much like applying scope to variables in programs. The impact of this is that two QM sessions running in different namespaces will create separate instances of the shared memory resulting in it not being shared at all.
The way in which processes are assigned to namespaces depends on how they are started and differs between versions of Windows. Although the problem can occur on earlier versions of Windows, it has become far more serious with Windows Vista. In particular, processes started by the QMSvc service tend to be in a different namespace than processes started from the console. Use of Remote Desktop also creates a new namespace.
There has been much complaint about this change on internet user groups. It could have been introduced in a way which was backward compatible to ensure that existing applications continued to run but it was not.
Why is this a Problem?
If two QM processes are using separate namespaces they will both create a shared memory area. These two (or more) areas will hold separate copies of the locking tables, file management tables, etc. The impact of this is that there is the potential for file corruption both at the data and structural level because the processes do not know about each other.
What has to Change in QM?
The changes within Windows include provision of a global namespace such that it is still possible for processes to share memory as they did in earlier releases. Unfortunately, creation of a global shared memory area can only be performed from a highly privileged process such as a Windows service. In QM, this means that QMSvc must create the shared memory before any other QM process starts and must stay running while users are in QM.
What is the Impact on my Application?
Nothing changes in your application software. The only difference visible to QM users is that the QMSvc service must be running before users can log into QM. This is very similar to the way in which QM has to be started on other platforms before it can be used.
Stopping QMSvc will log out all QM users.
What about Windows 98/ME?
Windows 98/ME use QMSrvr instead of QMSvc. These platforms do not have the namespace problem described above. QMSrvr does not need to be running before users can connect.
How is the Self Contained USB Version Affected?
Because the USB version of QM cannot run a service, it is not possible for it to create a global shared memory area. Therefore, the underlying problem introduced by this change in Windows will continue to affect USB users. This is not seen as a problem as it is unlikely that such a system would use QMConsole via Remote Desktop.

"Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels is to serve as host of a "Wayne's World" reunion panel in Los Angeles this month.
The Hollywood Reporter said the panel is a highly anticipated event since Myers prevented Spheeris from directing the blockbuster's 1993 sequel because she ignored his editing suggestions for the original.
Carvey and Myers also had a falling-out after Carvey accused Myers of using his impression of their boss Michaels for the Dr. Evil character in Myers' Austin Powers franchise, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said.
"We're all getting too old to be pissed," Spheeris told THR. "'Wayne's World' has such a beautiful, uplifting spirit about it. Why should there be a dark cloud? This is going to be cathartic. Everyone's going to walk out of there high -- sort of like they did when they watched the movie."

grabbing such TINY MINNOWS. Unlike Raptors who tear food into bite size pieces for their young. Egrets just expel whatever they have consumed while hunting. At this stage of there lives the chicks pick at the hodgepodge of fish and WHATEVER ELSE Mom or Dad spits into the nest at their feet. Competition for this partially digested Sushi is at the EXTREME LEVEL ALREADY
The chick who hesitates to dive right in or fight for that last morsel could very well be a statistic in no time. It's a HAESH REALITY of NEST LIFE .

- Trim off a tiny bit to make a nice curve to feathers, then cut slits to make individual feathers.
- From cardboard, or a piece of tube folded in half, draw head of turkey and gobbler. Cut out. If you used a folded tube, tape two sides together to make head flat. Cut a small slit, as indicated, in the bottom of the neck, where head will attach to body.
- To make insert for bottom, cut a 3" circle and then make 1" slits towards center, about a ahlf inch apart. Bend edges upward and then slide inside tube body. Attach with masking tape.
- Paint entire body/feathers one solid color... we chose a rusty brown. Let dry and then paint feathers and head /gobbler. Let dry.
- Tape or glue gobbler on to head and then slide head into place on body.

The 2010 Budget adopted by the Library Board on December 17, 2009 allows the Library to continue to offer the open hours and services our patrons need and are using now more than ever as they struggle to manage household budgets during what is clearly the most serious economic downturn since the great depression. This request was developed under the direction of the Library Board's Budget and Finance Committee pursuant to guidance provided in Resolution 2009-34, adopted in public session by the full Board of Trustees on July 16, 2009.
Like many patrons, the Library's "household budget" is strained by reduced county and state support. An overview and summary of the strategies recommended to address these needs are presented below.
Click here to view the 2010 Adopted Budget (PDF)
2010 Erie County Operating Budget Adopted: On December 1st the Erie County Legislature adopted the County's 2010 Budget. Changes made by the Legislature included restoring $750,000 requested by the Library to help sustain operations, emphasizing the Library's initiatives involving County-wide literacy services, cultural tourism opportunities, and programs to assist our patrons meet the economic challenges of today's economy. The County Executive did not veto this change, so the change becomes part of the County's 2010 Budget.
This restoration also allows the Library, pursuant to Resolution 2009-5, to include in the 2010 Budget an annual payment to Erie County in the amount of $250,000 to return savings associated with the ECFSA's (Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority) efficiency grant for the Library's RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) initiative.
Continues a Two-year Plan to Address County and State Budget Reductions: The County's budget addresses a significant fall off in sales tax revenue and other local revenue directly related to the financial and economic downturn in the U.S. and many other countries. This economic downturn led the County to discontinue the $1.6 million service restoration funding approved by the County Legislature in 2008. State aid supporting the operating budget is estimated to have fallen to levels not seen since the late 1990's.
Fortunately the Library's financial position is sound, with sufficient projected available fund balance to allow continuing implementation of a logical financial plan to address the reduced revenue picture while continuing to address key initiatives and maintaining quality library services throughout the entire Library System.
This plan includes the following initiatives:
1. Continuing conversion of our existing materials handling, inventory, circulation and security system operations to a much more efficient RFID based system. The first phase will convert 51% of the Library's collection housed in the Central, Buffalo Branch and Amherst Libraries using funds from a $1.7 million Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority efficiency grant awarded in 2009, which provides the opportunity to use technology to improve public service and achieve staffing savings realized as attrition occurs. Once fully implemented, the grant funded project phase would generate recurring savings estimated at over $500,000 per year;
2. Reducing staff positions system-wide by attrition; reallocating and redeploying staff to turnover generated vacancies which will also increase turnover savings;
3. Completing a system-wide staffing evaluation and assessment; leading the way to developing models for sharing staff resources, and thereby easing the transitions caused by attrition-based staffing reductions;
4. Enlisting the assistance of contracting library directors and ACT (Association of Contracting Library Boards of Trustees) board members, branch managers, administrators and department heads to restructure our organization; seek alternate revenue streams; and rethink the way in which we provide services and handle internal administrative responsibilities;
5. Assessing options and scenarios to proactively address potential significant additional budget reductions in 2011, including one of several options listed in the current Erie County Four Year Financial Plan to balance projected funding gaps that would reduce the Library's 2011 allocation by a further 10% ($2.2 million); and
6. Using the unencumbered fund balance in excess of the 5% threshold for contingency to help cover the costs of services and staff during the transition.
Barring significant additional reductions, these actions will enable the Library to maintain open hours and service levels at all of our locations as we restructure while avoiding "out-the-door" layoffs in 2010. This approach positions the Library well to make the best case for future support from the legislature and the County Executive in 2011 and beyond.
A summary schedule of recommended budget balancing changes by account is presented, followed by resolution 2009-51 and related budget charts and schedules in the document at the link below.

Wendy Kay Knorr, 60, of Pocono Lake Preserve, Pocono Lake, passed away on Feb. 10, 2013, while surrounded by her family at Geisinger Wyoming Valley in Wilkes-Barre.
She was born Feb. 18, 1952, in Scranton, and was a daughter of Joseph A. and the recently deceased Jane L. (Kuhn) Smith.
Wendy would have celebrated her 27th wedding anniversary with her loving husband, Kevin I. Knorr, on Feb. 14.
She is survived by her three daughters: Julie Pierson of Blooming Grove; Sarah and her husband, Brett Schagelin, of Newton, N.J.; and Talli Knorr, still living at home; one sister, Karen L. Martin and her companion, Jerry McDonald, of Hawley; and four grandchildren, Aiden Pierson, Hannah Schagelin, Asher Schagelin and Gavin Pierson-Niles.
Wendy graduated from Wallenpaupack High School in 1970. She and Kevin attended Pocono Lake Wesleyan Church every Sunday. She was always caring for the injured or sick as a volunteer or employee for Tobyhanna Township Ambulance, Pocono Mountain Regional Ambulance and Barrett Township Ambulance.
She was known by everyone she knew for her artistic ability and kind heart. Wendy made many beautiful gifts full of love for her family and friends throughout her life. She also loved to read and could be found curled up in the late hours reading from her Nook.
Wendy loved all kinds of animals and her home was always filled with a menagerie of pets. No stray animal that came within her reach would be homeless for long. She will be greatly missed by many.
Fulfilling Wendy's request to not have any services, a private dinner will be held by her family to celebrate her life.
Donations may be made to Dessin Animal Shelter, 138 Miller Road, Honesdale, PA 18431.

Horry County, SC (WMBF) As thousands of Carolina drivers take to the roads this weekend, police will be out in full force looking for intoxicated drivers.
Jeff Benton, Public Information Officer for the Horry County Sheriff's Office, says law enforcement will conduct DUI and safety checkpoints throughout the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
"Our coalitions going to be out working hard to be sure that the families that are out traveling, wherever you may be going or coming from, are safe," Benton says.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol says during Thanksgiving weekend last year, there were 97 vehicle collisions in our area; 7 caused by DUI. Authorities also issued 59 citations for driving under the influence.
But intoxicated driving is not the only thing police are worried about.
"Distracted driving is certainly a main issue, things such as texting, using the cell phones," Benton says.
A new study by State Farm Insurance found that the number of drivers using the Internet on their phone has nearly doubled in the last 3 years, creating a big distraction for drivers. Benton says police are also concerned about tired drivers, which can be just as dangerous as driving drunk.
"I would just say to folks don't take a chance," Benton says. "We have an extra long weekend, and if it takes an extra day of rest or another couple hours of rest, please do so."
South Carolina Highway Patrol doesn't keep statistics on how many accidents are caused by exhaustion or distracted driving, but regardless, Benton says law enforcement is pleading with drivers to use common sense so everyone gets home safe.
"Not only are you endangering the lives of you and your family...my family could be out here, everybody's families will be out here on the roadway also," Benton says.
According to South Carolina Highway Patrol, one person was killed in a vehicle accident during the Thanksgiving holiday in our area.

Caught On Tape: 70-Year-Old Woman Beats, Bites & Fights A 14yr Old Boy On A School Bus!
"A recently released video shows a former Polk County bus attendant hitting, pushing, biting and pulling the hair of a 14-year-old on the bus. The incident happened at the end of last school year. Today the bus attendant is facing a child abuse charge. As the school bus sat in the loading zone at Lakeland High School on June 2nd, the 14-year-old student flipped a 5-year-old boy over the seat. When he did so, the boy's legs hit the bus attendant, and she thinks it was done intentionally. "He done hit me!" Hattie Yvonne Branch is heard saying on the school bus video. Branch, the bus attendant, is then seen lashing back at the teen. "Stop, Yvonne! He didn't mean to do that!" pleaded Charlene Wimes, the school bus driver. Wimes tried to stop it, but Branch is seen the video striking the teen and pushing the student into the seats. "He didn't mean to do it!" Wimes shouted. "Yes he did!" is Branch's response. In the video, Branch continues to hit the teen, reportedly biting him twice on his back, leaving teeth marks. She is seen pulling his hair and finally grabbing ahold of him by the neck, before letting go." - 10 News
