Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
After the zoning board hearing, Cliff Davis began investigating the claims made by Neugebohrn and Addington, as well as other information about the cats contained in county reports and posted on the center's Website (www.bigcats.org). The state Game and Freshwater Fish Commission told Davis that the center did not own -- and was not permitted to own -- Florida panthers. Only the federal government can license such owners because the panthers are listed as an endangered species (only 50 to 60 are estimated to exist in the wild).
And contrary to their earlier pronouncements, Neugebohrn and Addington's felines were not threatened with death, game and fish commission Col. Robert L. Edwards assured Davis. Wildlife handlers operate 25 other rehabilitation centers in Dade County alone, and some 300 throughout the state. "We would not have to euthanize wildlife if [the Southern Florida Wildlife Rehabilitation Center] did not exist as there are other facilities to provide housing for wildlife at this time," Edwards wrote Davis this past June. As to the couple's heroic efforts to heal the animals, Edwards said that his department could "not substantiate" that any of them had ever been injured.
Addington and Neugebohrn now acknowledge they can't definitively prove that any of their cats are rare Florida panthers, though they suspect at least two are. But they do stand by their claims that they routinely receive and treat injured animals and that some of their cats would die if the center ceased operations.
Cliff Davis presented Edwards's letter and other damning documents to the county commission September 9 as part of his appeal of the zoning board's decision to grant a variance. He's not ecstatic about the victory commissioners handed him and his neighbors, but he's certainly relieved. "I don't deny [Neugebohrn] takes care of the animals. He takes care of them really well," Davis allows. "But his passion and his devotion -- it almost went to extremes. The passion overrode any consideration for the zoning codes, neighbors' rights, or basically, if you want to think of it, our health and welfare.

Item has a Minimum Qty
The Solid Thin Strap One Piece will be your go-to suit for each practice, giving you a training suit that stands up to chlorine and countless hours in the water.
As a former year round swimmer and current Masters swimmer, I look for durability and comfort in my suits. I ordered a 28, what I usually wear in practice suits, and it feels true to size. So far, this suit has been comfortable when I swim, no matter what the stroke. I wear a B-cup, and the straps are a little snug getting them on (probably from the higher cut in the back), so if you have a large chest or broad shoulders they might be uncomfortable or difficult to put on/take off. The suit material seems to be a good quality - it doesn't have the Speedo Endurance label I usually go for, but the tag said it was their highest level of durability. I've only had the suit for about a month but no sagging, fading or stretching has occurred.
Love the cut of the suit but would rather it be a tad bit most elastic in its fit.
Perfect fit! NIKE suits used to be my favorite, but this one now is! Not flimsy and fit is so nice. I'm 46 and have been a lifetime swimmer!
I have two of these suits. I wear them for laps. They have not changed shape in a year and I swim about 4-6 miles a week. Love them.
This is my favorite speedo product, it is so comfortable and the fit is amazing. I now own three and they are my most used practice suit.
The fit is skimpy in the back but true to size otherwise. I am 60 and perhaps a little chunkier than in my prime. I do compete . The cut above the butt is low. Otherwise seems good. I wonder whether it will last more than 3 months.

The article didn't say that the Drunk killed anyone.
Submitted by Guesttenheimer (not verified) on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 11:56am.
The article stated that the Drunk Driver was involved in the accident, not that he was the cause of it. He may have been rear-ended or side-swiped by the motorcyclist.
You are correct though, a needles tragedy involving two Darwin Award candidates.

Not Quite as "Groundbreaking" as promised
Before I continue, Dishonored isn't a bad game. Not by a long shot. More or less my disappointment with the game comes at it's length, which for your average $60 game today, should be at least 10 to 12 hours in length. At least, that's all I ask for. If it's a game like Halo or Call of Duty, I know that it'll have some fantastic multiplayer out of the box that will also give me countless hours of replayabliity. However, single-player games are always a gamble these days.
The biggest aspect of Dishonored that drew me in initially was the whole "play your way" approach to the game. Yes, there are different outcomes for how you could do things, but it never gets as intuitive as something like Hitman. In Hitman, everything has always been about stealth. Sure, you can finish a mission in a very lethal way, by killing everyone, but this always affected the outcome. Here in Dishonored, you can go in and kill literally everyone, in my first playthrough, I did.
The game really only has two ways to play: high chaos and low chaos. In high chaos, you can kill everyone, run around like a pyschopath, and pretty much do what you want to. In low chaos, the game takes a more interesting approach. By going into each of this games seven missions this way, (yes, seven missions), the game becomes much more of a thrill. Sneaking around, making sure you aren't spotted by enemies, it totally did bring me back to earlier Hitman games. The thrill of not knowing if an enemy is going to turn around and catch you always brings enough of a challenge to any game, and quite a thrill, but playing this way doesn't really do more then drag the game out longer then it really is. At the end of my high chaos playthrough, the game took me about six hours to complete. Now granted, I'd be ok with this in something like Call of Duty. But this is a single player game only, and that's just really not acceptable in today's age.
Secondly, not to be "that guy", but the Achievements really discourage you to use any powers in this game. Sure, there are some that encourage it, but when three to four of the achievements in this game revolve around you playing through the game without killing, being detected, and not using any power upgrades, that's downright shameful in my opinion, and a totally missed opportunity.
Speaking of powers, so that's where this game differs from something like Hitman, in fact, feeling more in line with the Thief franchise. After a quick introduction that sets up the events of the game, your character, Corvo Attano, you then are helped with your escape from prison after being framed for a murder you didn't commit. Once out, you meet up with "The Loyalists". After setting up yourself as an assassin, out to get your revenge against those that set you up, you awake to get special powers. This part of the game I felt was kind of poorly thrown in, just to give the game an excuse to be different from other stealth games. You can get a variety of different powers, but the obvious favorite is "blink". With this ability, you can essentially "ghost" yourself around for a pretty decent distance, especially if upgraded. There are other useful abilities, some come off useful, and others are wasted opportunities. Possession is probably the best example of a wasted opportunity. At tier one, you can posses animals. Well useful quite a bit, possessing animals such as rats or dogs isn't really all that useful. Worse, once you unlock the ability to possess humans, all you can do is walk around with them for a brief period of time. It would have been fantastic to be able to use weapons, or choke out other enemies or something, but the game never goes that far. This feels like a gigantic cop out more then anything else. Other powers are a bit more useful, such as the ability to see throw walls at enemies (Dark Vision), and "Bend Time", which lets you go all Matrix on people. I have to also mention that the power of wind (I forgot what it's officially called) where you can use a wind power to knock down enemies or doors, also extremely useless. It's fun, but doesn't really do much for you.
The final point is that the game doesn't really offer the most fantastic conclusion, at least on the high chaos playthrough. While I'm only mid way on my stealth playthrough, I have heard it has a better ending this way, but still. Not giving a decent wrap up to the story hurts something like this, especially when it comes off as more of a tech demo for something more.
I did enjoy my time with Dishonored, although it was brief. I liked the setting of the game, but overall the game feels more like a six hour tech demo of something much bigger, something that we could be waiting for on a bigger sequel, that's for sure. While it doesn't become an instant classic like Assassin's Creed, Hitman or even Thief, Dishonored does a decent job of trying out some new concepts and delivering an enjoyable enough experience, just not one I can recommend at $60 price point. You are better off waiting until $30 price point to pick this one up. You will enjoy it, but don't expect it to have the most lasting effect on you when it's all said and done.

"You know how Ford said you can have any car you like as long as it's black? In the UAE they can make whatever you want, as long as it's a building. They can't make free speech or human rights"

A heartbreaking and personal story of construction labor conditions in the UAE, illustrated with hand drawings showing how literally trapped the workers are. It's ironic and sad that this news item will share the same space with a contemporary article about building a cage-less zoo in Denmark.

Dubai is already home to the biggest shopping mall in the world, but that apparently isn't enough. The emirate is planning an even bigger mall, one so massive it's already being described as a temperature-controlled city. It's going to be called Mall of the World, and will stretch for 48 million square feet. The plan may seem curious to Americans watching their neighborhood shopping malls start to fade.

If liberal cultural and educational institutions are to operate with any integrity in that environment, they must insist on a change of the rules: abolish the recruitment debt system, pay a living wage, allow workers to change employers at will and legalize the right to collective bargaining. Otherwise, their gulf paymasters will go on cherry-picking from the globalization menu [...] while spurning the social contract that protects basic human rights.

Dubai won the bid to host the World Expo 2020, being the first Middle Eastern city selected in the Expo's 160-year history. HOK, in partnership with Populous and Arup, led the design team that developed the master plan, themed "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future." Their proposal won against those from Brazil, Russia, and Turkey. The 1,082-acre (438-hectare) Expo site is equidistant from Abu Dhabi and Dubai, next to the new Al Maktoum International Airport and near the Jebel Ali Port.

One expert in the UAE has estimated that 70% of the high-rise buildings there have panel facade cladding made of a combustible thermoplastic core held between two sheets of aluminium.

 Bill Law, a BBC Gulf news analyst, writes about how fears of a "towering inferno" disaster in the Gulf are growing after fires left residential buildings heavily damaged in the United Arab Emirates cities of Sharjah and Dubai. The panels have been prohibited in the UK and USA for some time and the f flammable facades, and the UAE has passed recent legislation banning their use. However, "at least 500 buildings" in UAE cities are already sheathed in the flammable panels.

Real Madrid Resort Island will be a major tourist and sporting centre of great dimensions and the highest level. This extraordinary complex will attract millions of people looking for quality leisure services.

 The resort will be located on the artificial island of Al Marjan in the United Arab Emirates. It will feature sports facilities, a marina, luxury hotels, villas, an amusement park, a club museum and a futuristic 10,000-seat stadium with one side open to the sea.

The latest New Yorkers of the Week are a pair of martial arts teachers who give local women the tools they need to stay safe in the city. NY1's John Schiumo filed the following report.
Dan Anderson and Dasha Libin teach at Anderson's Martial Arts Academy in Manhattan. They teach their female students how to defend themselves.
A year ago on a weekend trip to Miami, their student Maria Arce was brutally attacked.
"It was terrifying, and when I woke up in the emergency room I remember feeling overwhelmed, because I didn't know how I was going to be able to put myself back together," says Arce.
She received broken teeth and a bruised face.
"Physically, I was going to be able to heal. Emotionally, I walked around for a really long feeling terrified and not feeling safe," says Arce. "And now that I have studied here at Anderson's, I feel really confident."
The duo wants to reach more women like Arce.
"We read an FBI statistic saying that 84 percent of the women who fight back escape. I thought, wow, what if we could raise the statistic?" says Anderson. "What if we could teach different women or any victim of violence something to raise that statistic?"
With 35 years of experience between them, the pair hold free self-defense classes for women every other month.
"Awareness is the first thing that we always teach them," says Anderson. "The second thing is I teach them -- verbal self-defense, knowing where to cross the limit. And then it goes in to armed and unarmed combat."
"One little poke to the eye can really take them out of commission and give you that time to evade," says Libin.
Fifteen students from the academy help Anderson and Libin instruct more than 50 women.
"You learn how to eye gouge, you learn how, if you are in a choke hold, how to get out of that, or at least buy time so you can breath, so you can scream for help," says Arce.
Inspired by Filipino martial arts, the pair asks participants to make donations to the local charity BABAE, which means "woman" in the Filipino language Tagalog.
"It's a case management organization that provides services to Filipino women, victims of domestic violence," says BABAE volunteer Kristen Cabildo.
Anderson says he hopes to expand the free classes to children and men in the future. His students agree that what they learn can help save their lives.
"If I had the skills that I had here, I would have been able to escape faster and maybe it wouldn't have gone to that extent and I wouldn't have been beaten so badly," says Arce.
So, for empowering women to defend themselves, Dan Anderson and Dasha Libin are the latest New Yorkers of the Week.

It is clearly not only egocentric and emotionally unregulated adolescents who obsess over photographs of themselves. Politicians and business tycoons seem just as concerned about their photographic images, driven by a heady mixture of subclinical narcissism and avaricious PR consultants. Maybe pictures do paint a thousand words.
The 'selfie story' at Nelson Mandela's memorial service is a good example. There we saw bored world leaders amusing themselves with the taking of photographs, mainly of their own visages, on their mobile phones. These are the same leaders who know the power of the photograph to enhance and wreck careers.
They know about 'paparazzi-power'; of being caught behaving in a way 'not becoming' to their real selves. Some have small armies of people designed to prevent others taking photographs, while equally being very sympathetic to the chosen few, whose work is then usually 'approved' by the appropriate committee.
One study entitled "It is all about me" (Administrative Science Quarterly, Vol 52), concerned with narcissism among CEOs, investigated the number and size of CEO photos in the annual report. This was an unobtrusive measure of the bold, exhibitionistic traits that serve CEOs so well. And yes, the more narcissistic they were, the more the photos, which were also bigger and more complementary.

Clark disgruntled with playoff loss
Sports psychologists figure to have a field day with what Tim Clark said after he lost a playoff at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial: "I can't take anything positive from today."
I'll take that as heat-of-the-moment frustration from a 33-year-old who has come so close but never has won on the PGA Tour. From someone who would've have won had he made a 9-footer on the 72nd hole and a 7-footer on the first playoff hole. From someone who lost to Steve Stricker on the second extra hole even though his approach hit the flagstick.
Trust me, second place and excellent play in Fort Worth will feel a lot better in a month or two than it did 10 minutes after conclusion.
Clark will win, and perhaps soon, if he remains a positive attitude. He's too good, what with 35 top 10s in 184 starts, including seven seconds.
Sometimes the learning process is painful– if you allow it.

KOKOMO, Ind. — Susan Sciame-Giesecke takes bold steps forward into Indiana University Kokomo history, being installed as its seventh chancellor by President Michael A. McRobbie in a ceremony Friday, September 12, in Havens Auditorium.
More than 400 students, faculty, staff, family, and community supporters attended the event, which Sciame-Giesecke used to kick off her "Taking Bold Steps" strategic plan.
"As I build on my past at IU Kokomo and I look forward, I see a 21st century regional campus, partnering and collaborating with the communities we serve, and our sister regional campuses, so we can take bold steps together in three areas," she said. "In this region, we must lead by encouraging traditional and non traditional students to see a college degree not as a financial burden, but as an essential vehicle for the world they live in. We must encourage all students — first generation students, 21st Century Scholars, and newly immigrated populations and returning adults."
McRobbie commended her for her many years of dedication to the campus and region.
"Sue's extraordinary service to IU Kokomo in a variety of leadership roles, deep understanding of its missions and strong commitment to community engagement make her the ideal individual to oversee the growth of a campus that has become a vital part of the city and surrounding area," McRobbie said. "Through her experience and vision, IU Kokomo will continue to fulfill its regional and statewide missions with great success and assure access to an education of the highest quality."
Sciame-Giesecke and McRobbie were joined on the platform by Congresswoman Susan Brooks; faculty representative Christopher Darr; alumni representative Deanna Crispen; and IU trustees MaryEllen K. Bishop, Philip N. Eskew Jr., Janice L. Farlow, and Andrew F. Mohr. Honored guests also included former chancellors Emita B. Hill, Ruth J. Person, and Stuart M. Green.
Brooks said IU Kokomo has the right person to lead it forward.
"She knows your history, she is your history," Brooks said, noting Sciame-Giesecke's 37 years on campus. "She is a woman who has done it all, and has done it all in service to this campus. She has a very clear vision for IU Kokomo's history, and her role in it. She knows where she needs to lead."
Crispen recalled being a student in one of Sciame-Giesecke's speech classes, and how the chancellor recognized abilities she herself had not known she possessed.
"Sue has always been at the heart of this campus, for many years," she said. "Her passion for student success and excellence is almost like her personal guarantee, that when students graduate, they've earned a first-class education. We know she will take the bold steps necessary to lead IU Kokomo into the future."
Sciame-Giesecke's appointment as chancellor began April 15, 2014, after she served 18 months as interim chancellor. A professor of communication arts, she began her career at IU Kokomo in 1977, as an assistant professor. She earned a Ph.D. in speech communication from IU Bloomington. She has held numerous leadership and administrative positions at IU Kokomo, including executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, interim vice chancellor for academic affairs, interim vice chancellor for administration and finance, interim and permanent dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, and chair of the Department of Humanities.
Sciame-Giesecke encouraged all campus supporters to lead from where they are, encouraging then to talk about how essential higher education is for the collective good in the world.
But that's not enough, she said. Once students arrive on campus, they must be supported so they can overcome barriers to complete their degrees.
"We must continue to explore pathways to student success," she said. "The challenges facing our students are great, whether they be first generation college students who don't understand our culture, to veterans returning from war and trying to find where they fit, to parents who are juggling school and family, to part-time students who are working to support their families. We have chosen to teach at a regional campus with a diverse group of students. Therefore, we must think boldly and set completion goals which steadily grow."
She finished her address by unveiling an architectural rendering of the Main Building, after its planned renovation, as a symbol of the campus' future. Its first building, constructed in 1965, will be transformed, just as she plans to transform the campus and region.
"I believe that as we watch the transformation of this building unfold, as it becomes a 21st century learning environment ... we will also see the transformation of the region. You and I will continue to take bold steps every day together to make this region a great place to live, work, and play."

KOKOMO, Ind. — Impending rain did not stop Indiana University Kokomo from taking bold steps Tuesday.
Chancellor Susan Sciame-Giesecke, together with students, faculty, staff, and community friends, completed laps on the track in the Cole Fitness Center, in place of a planned walk, run, or bike from the campus to Foster Park. The celebration continued with a picnic in Alumni Hall, all part of the weeklong celebration of her installation as IU Kokomo's seventh chancellor.
The week culminates with the installation ceremony, set for 1:30 p.m. Friday, September 12, in Havens Auditorium.
Sciame-Giesecke said the week also kicks off her "Taking Bold Steps" strategic plan, guiding the campus as it begins its 70th year.
"This year, we're really focusing on being a Community of Care," she said. "We want to share with everyone how important it is for us to take care of ourselves, physically, mentally, and spiritually. We are going to take bold steps together, and think about where we can go, and what we can accomplish."
Mayor Greg Goodnight declared Tuesday, September 9, as Indiana University Kokomo day in the city, in honor of Sciame-Giesecke's installation.
City Controller Milton Beach presented the proclamation, and offered congratulations from himself and the mayor.
"Seven is a lucky number, and Kokomo certainly is lucky to have Dr. Sciame-Giesecke leading IU Kokomo," he said.
Many of those attending took their own steps, on the track in the Cole Fitness Center. Sciame-Giesecke called it a community building event, giving people time to get to know one another better while engaging in a healthy activity.
She walked several laps, talking to students, faculty, staff, and visitors as she circled the track, offering encouragement, and accepting their support and congratulations.
Freshman Marissa Collins wove a path among those walking, as she ran her laps. She slowed a few minutes to walk in step with the chancellor, receiving a "good for you," and a pat on the back before she picked up the pace again.
"This was a chance for me to get to meet some people on campus," said Collins, from Fairmount. "I've meant to start running, and I figured this was a good time."
For freshman Callie Heffelmire, Tipton, the ability to meet the chancellor and participate in installation activities is one of the reasons she likes IU Kokomo.
"At a bigger school, you probably wouldn't know who the chancellor is," she said. "Here, I get the chance to personally know the chancellor. It makes me feel better as a student. I really like that we get to be part of her installation."
Lecturer Christine Taff walked with her Spanish class, saying she thought it was important to have students involved in installation events. As nursing faculty members, Lynda Narwold and Stacy Rosales appreciated that healthy lifestyle choices were part of the celebration.
"We did this for the exercise, and the fun," said Rosales. "We wanted to show our support for the chancellor."
Nursing student Kaleigh Ensley, from Fort Wayne, is happy students are welcomed and encouraged to participate in installation events.
"The chancellor makes an impact on all of us," Ensley said. "We're all affected by what she does. It's good to have a relationship with her."
Yunes Kobaree, a new transfer student, met Sciame-Giesecke Monday, at a "selfie station" set up for students to take pictures of themselves with cut outs of the chancellor and mascot Kingston Cougar.
As he prepared to take his picture with the picture of the chancellor, Sciame-Giesecke walked up and posed with him.
"It was just luck that she walked up," he said. As a resident of downtown Kokomo, he was glad to see many area residents attend the celebration.
"It's important to have them here, because IU Kokomo is a big part of the community," he said. "The more people come here, the more they are aware of what is here. The more aware they are, the bigger impact the campus can have."
Alumna Kim LaFollette was one of many community supporters who came to the event. She was happy to see many other people who work in downtown Kokomo attending as well.
"This is an exciting time not only for IU Kokomo, but for all of us," she said. "Inviting the community to celebrate this week for Chancellor Sciame-Giesecke is just perfect. She has been an important part of this community for many years, and we are proud of this new opportunity for her."

KOKOMO, Ind. — Susan Sciame-Giesecke will be installed as the seventh chancellor of Indiana University Kokomo by IU President Michael A. McRobbie during a formal ceremony this week.
The event will take place on Friday, September 12, and is set to begin at 1:30 p.m. in Havens Auditorium.
Sciame-Giesecke's 37-year history with the campus, starting with her appointment as an assistant professor, gives her a strong position to move the campus forward as chancellor. She's proud to have witnessed more than half the campus' 70-year history.
"I am able to look pretty far back into the life of IU Kokomo, and with that historical foundation, I am positioned to have a clear understanding of where we need to go," Sciame-Giesecke said. "I am privileged to be so blessed, and I am committed to being a servant leader who helps IU Kokomo take bold steps and make a difference in the lives of those we serve."
With higher education changing dramatically, now is not the time to look back, she said, but to be forward thinking and lead. Sciame-Giesecke envisions a 21st century regional campus, partnering with the communities it serves.
She proposes to take bold steps in three areas: Working with sister regional campuses to advocate for the importance of higher education as a benefit to everyone; improving retention and graduation rates in those regions; and leading regional partnerships in education, business and economic growth and research.
"It is no longer enough to provide affordable, accessible higher educational opportunities," she said. "We must find a way to help more of our enrolled students complete a college degree so they can have an impact in the communities where they will live, work, and play."
During her career, she has led efforts in these areas, including creating the campus' freshman learning communities program and the Center for Teaching Excellence. She also facilitated formation of a six-county regional economic development organization. Additionally, she led the campus to a 10-year reaccreditation by the Higher Learning Commission.
Sciame-Giesecke, a professor of communication arts, earned a Ph.D. in speech communication from IU Bloomington. She has held numerous leadership and administrative positions at IU Kokomo, including executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, interim vice chancellor for academic affairs, interim vice chancellor for administration and finance, interim and permanent dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, and chair of the Department of Humanities.
As interim chancellor, she led efforts to gain $14 million in funding for renovations to the Main Building, which has been minimally updated since it opened in 1965. She partnered with the City of Kokomo and the Kokomo School Corp. to obtain the Cougar Gym for IU Kokomo's athletics programs, and oversaw construction of the Milt and Jean Cole Family Wellness and Fitness Center.
Sciame-Giesecke also led system wide initiatives, such as the IU Enhancing Minority Attainment Conference and the IU Faculty Leadership Institute.
She is excited and honored to lead the campus as its chancellor.
"I work with a dedicated team of faculty and staff who are passionate about helping students be successful in achieving their goals," she said. "It is a joy to work with them each day and see lives transformed, as students earn their degrees and find their passions. I live and work in a region and a city where people are generous, innovative, hard-working, friendly, and committed to creating viable communities that are poised for future generations."
A reception will follow the ceremony in Alumni Hall. The installation and reception are free and open to the public.

The presentation, on behalf of Gov. Michael Pence, took place during an event at the home of Sen. Buck, along with U.S. Sen. Dan Coats, U.S. Representatives Susan Brooks and Todd Rokita, and State Auditor Suzanne Crouch.
"Seeing how she interacts with faculty, students and the surrounding community, it is truly an example of outstanding leadership skills and characteristics that all should strive to achieve," said Senator Buck, who submitted the nomination to the Governor. "She has demonstrated a passion for excellence within her area of responsibility and for those around her.
"I believe Dr. Giesecke is deserving of this prestigious award due to her vast community and academic experience in service to this university. This county and this state are greatly appreciative of her service."
Sciame-Giesecke was deeply touched to receive this honor.
"I am humbled to receive this great honor. I want to thank Senator Jim Buck and his wife Judy for their personal support of me and the IU Kokomo campus," Sciame-Giesecke said. "This award belongs to the faculty and staff at IU Kokomo who are committed to the success of every student.

KOKOMO, Ind. — Wayne James takes his oath of office as Indiana University Kokomo's chief of police, in a ceremony Friday, November 22.
James, 33, said the ceremony, in Kresge Auditorium, was a special occasion for him, because so many people who are important in his life and career attended.
"To be sworn in in front of so many people who have supported me throughout my career makes it even more special," he said. "I always wanted to be a police officer, and to be a chief is an added bonus."
Interim Chancellor Susan Sciame-Giesecke congratulated James, and said the campus benefits from his leadership.
"What has impressed me most about Wayne is his proactive approach to campus safety," she said. "He has met with faculty, staff, and students to make sure they see the campus police as resources. I am confident he will continue to guide us as we continue to grow, and meet the challenges that come with growth."
James was especially proud to have his long-time mentor, Lieutenant Jerry Williams, pin on his badge during the ceremony. Williams is district commander for the Indiana State Police Lowell Post.
Williams met the new chief nearly 20 years ago, when James worked at an Ace Hardware Store in Lake County, Indiana. Williams visited the store several times each week, and encouraged him to pursue a law enforcement career.
"This is a proud time, to see this young man sworn in," Williams said. "He has never missed an opportunity to learn and advance himself. He has worked in one of the most challenging environments in Indiana, and he will bring that experience to IU Kokomo. This campus has the right man for the job."
James began his job October 1. Prior to that, he was operations lieutenant for the IU Police Department Northwest, in Gary. He began as a patrol officer there in 2009. He received a medal of valor in 2011, for actions during an off-campus incident that helped save a man's life and secure a suspected shooter.
As police chief at IU Kokomo, he will provide leadership, direction, and oversight for all campus law enforcement functions.
Law enforcement officials from around the state attended Friday's ceremony. Those attending include Chief Laury Flint, IU Bloomington Police Department; Deputy Chief Bob True, IUPUI Police Department; Chief Patricia Nowak, IU Northwest Police Department; Chief Rob Baker and Major Brian Seldon, Kokomo Police Department; Sheriff Steven Rogers and Lieutenant Kurt Goerges, Howard County Sheriff Department; Kokomo-Howard County Consolidated Communications Director Nicholas Capozzoli, Deputy Chief Cliff Sessoms, Marion Police Department; Corporal Nina Evans, Gary Police Department; Officer Morris Smooth, Cedar Lake Police Department; Lieutenant Jeremy Kelly, Indiana State Police; and Lieutenant Jerry Williams, Indiana State Police Lowell District Commander.

26 November 2013
KOKOMO, Ind. — Cougars and Jaguars work together to double the amount of food donated to Kokomo Urban Outreach (KUO) from the annual Enactus Can-struction food drive.
Enactus, a business student organization, collects nonperishable food items throughout the school year, and hosts a competition during Homecoming. Student groups use canned and boxed food items to build structures, and then all the food goes to the local nonprofit, which distributes it through its food pantries.
The need is greater than ever, because of a tornado that hit Kokomo on November 17. Naturally, Leann Cook, Enactus president, was thrilled when an Indiana University — Purdue University Indianapolis group offered to give items from its recent drive.
"I thought it was just awesome that they reached out to help another IU group when our community is in need," Cook said. "It reminds us that while we are IU Kokomo Cougars, and they are IUPUI Jaguars – we are all IU."
IUPUI students delivered three truckloads on Saturday (November 23), containing about 1,200 food items. Enactus volunteers took that donation, together with the 1,300 items they collected to Kokomo Urban Outreach.
Adam Smith, an Enactus co-sponsor, said the urban outreach workers who unloaded the first was truckload were stunned to hear there was yet another truckload, plus an SUV filled with food. It won't last long, as the neighborhood around KUO was among the hardest hit by the tornado.
"The food drive hit home a little more this year because of the devastation," Cook said. "We're not just stocking the pantries because it's not just going to sit there. There are people who need it right now, immediately."
Joe Spaulding is one of two student coordinators for Paw's Pantry, IUPUI's campus food pantry. He said their annual Jam the Jaguars Food Pantry event November 21 brought in 2.1 tons of nonperishable foods.
After filling the campus pantry, organizers planned to send the extra to other Indianapolis food banks.
"With such an abundance of food, it just made sense to reach out a helping hand to IU Kokomo and the surrounding community, to help with tornado relief efforts," he said. "On behalf of Paw's Pantry, the IUPUI Division of Student Affairs, and IUPUI as a whole, I want to say that positive thoughts and prayers are with IU Kokomo and its community."
The donation brings Enactus halfway to its goal of collecting 5,000 food items during the school year. The group received a Campbell's "Let's Can Hunger" award to assist its efforts.
The student group's next canned food drive, "Can Your Professor," is Monday, December 2, through Thursday, December 4. Students vote with nonperishable food items to determine which of three business faculty members will go to "jail," choosing among Dmitry Chulkov, Linda Ficht, and David Rink.
Cook said the need for food is ongoing. She wants to be sure students don't forget about this need as the community recovers from the tornado.
"Hunger was a persistent problem before, and is heightened by the disaster," she said. "We're amazed at how deep the need is on our community. We want students to know they can contribute and make a difference."

Karl Besel, director of the Master of Public Administration program, will talk about new urbanism and the impact of traditionally planned communities, the subject of his recent book, at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
He was honored to accept the invitation, and will speak in April 2014.
"The Clinton School has a really strong public speaker series," he said. "They have had some high-profile speakers in the past, and it is humbling to be chosen. They are focused on what they can do to revitalize communities."
In addition to former President Bill Clinton, the speaker series has included former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, journalists George Stephanopoulos and Bob Woodward, actor and philanthropist Michael J. Fox, and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
Interim Chancellor Susan Sciame-Giesecke said the campus is proud of its outstanding faculty scholars.
"Dr. Besel is an excellent example of the faculty who interact with our students every day in the classroom," she said. "The mission of the IU regional campuses is to enhance the regions they serve, by conducting research related to our communities. Karl's research on urban planning does just that, by expanding our knowledge on urban revitalization efforts."
Besel and co-author Viviana Andreescu, an associate professor at the University of Louisville, began writing Back to the Future: New Urbanism and the Rise of Neotraditionalism in Urban Planning, during his 2009 sabbatical. It reviews recent urban planning trends, and connects them to their roots in historical preservation communities.
"The timing was good for a book like this," he said. "There has been steady growth in the number of planned communities. People like these high density developments, where they can walk where they want to go, and don't need to own a car."
This trend is not just prevalent in suburbs, but in downtown neighborhoods, as part of revitalization efforts. That is what drew attention from the Clinton School, he said.
"They are interested in what they can do to be part of revitalization efforts," he said. "A lot of these are minority communities that have gone by the wayside."
The book includes a case study of one of the first communities to receive federal revitalization money, in Louisville. When it received that money, it prompted area banks to be involved, which led to clean up of these areas, he said.
"Within 10 years, the crime rate went down significantly," he said. "If you're going to address crime and make areas more livable, you have to provide decent housing and decent neighborhoods."
The Clinton School was created under the vision of former president Clinton, who wanted to create a global institution that legitimized the practice of public service within the academic system. Students combine classroom instruction with public service projects. It is located at the William J. Clinton Library, Little Rock, Ark.

(Updates with Geithner remarks in interview in 21st-24th paragraphs.)
Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama cast himself as a champion of "fairness" for the middle class in the fight to reduce the deficit with a call for $1.5 trillion in tax increases over the next decade, largely targeting the wealthy.
Obama joined his call for a tax increase with a threat to veto any legislation Congress sends him that would reduce benefits from the Medicare health-insurance plan for the elderly unless wealthy Americans also face higher taxes.
"This is not class warfare, it's math," Obama said this morning at the White House as he unveiled his recommendations to a 12-member congressional committee charged with finding ways to trim at least $1.5 trillion from the deficit. "The money's going to have to come from someplace."
The stance places Obama in conflict with Republican congressional leaders such as House Speaker John Boehner, who last week declared tax increases "off the table" and urged the bipartisan supercommittee to focus on scaling back entitlement programs such as Medicare. The panel has a Nov. 23 deadline to come up with a plan.
The positions represent a retreat from compromises that Obama and Boehner struck in unsuccessful negotiations in July to reduce long-term deficits and a sharpening of partisan differences over the budget. It sets the stage for a potential stalemate in the supercommittee's deliberations.
Overhauling Tax Code
Obama coupled the call for tax increases with spending cuts that he said would reduce the long-term deficit by $3 trillion beyond the $1 trillion that was agreed to as part of a deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling.
He included a proposal to overhaul the tax code. He said his plan would eliminate "special lower rates for the wealthy" which were "meant to be temporary." He also would close loopholes in corporate tax law.
Republicans swiftly condemned the president's plan.
"Veto threats, a massive tax hike, phantom savings, and punting on entitlement reform is not a recipe for economic or job growth -- or even meaningful deficit reduction," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said in a statement.
"Pitting one group of Americans against another is not leadership," Boehner of Ohio said in a statement. The president "has not made a serious contribution" to the deliberations of the supercommittee, he said.
'Crushing Impact'
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a contender for the Republican Party nomination to face Obama next year, criticized the president's plan as a threat to job creation.
"President Obama's plan to raise taxes will have a crushing impact on economic growth," Romney said in a statement. "This is yet another indication that President Obama has no clue how to bring our economy back."
The administration and congressional Republicans are at odds over how to re-ignite the economy, drive down unemployment and grapple with the nation's long-term deficit. Administration forecasters project the economy will grow at a sluggish 1.7 percent rate this year and the jobless rate will average 9.1 percent in 2011 and show little change in 2012, when the presidential election takes place.
To deal with the deficit, Obama won't support any increase in the eligibility age for Medicare, as he did while trying to negotiate a broad deficit-reduction package with Boehner in July, according to administration officials, who briefed reporters before Obama spoke on condition of anonymity. The officials said Obama only accepted the measure as a concession to Republicans to assure speedy passage of an increase in federal borrowing authority to avert a U.S. debt default.
Medicare Cuts
Obama will seek $248 billion in Medicare cuts, including reductions in payments to health-care providers, and $72 billion in savings from the Medicaid state-federal health program for the poor, the officials said.
He's also adopting billionaire investor Warren Buffett's suggestion that the nation's "mega-wealthy" pay more taxes, prompting one leading Republican to accuse the president of engaging in "class warfare."
The provision, which the White House is calling the Buffett rule after the 81-year-old chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., would require people with incomes of $1 million or more to pay at least the same percentage in taxes as middle-income Americans, an administration official said.
"Class warfare will simply divide this country more," Republican Representative Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, said on the "Fox News Sunday" program. "It will attack job creators, divide people, and it doesn't grow the economy."
More Than Cuts
Obama rejected that criticism.
"We can't just cut our way out of this hole," he said. "It's only right that we ask everyone to pay their fair share."
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said there are multiple approaches to enacting the Buffett rule, which he called "a simple, basic principle" that should guide efforts to rewrite the tax code.
"If you make more than $1 million a year in the United States you should pay no less as a share of your income than an average middle-class family," he said in a Bloomberg Television interview.
He said the administration would look for a chance to move quickly with Congress to revamp the individual and corporate tax system. The approach to corporate taxes is the same as Obama has talked about in the past: lower rates while closing loopholes to broaden the tax base.
Geithner said that would bring in more revenue while making the U.S. "a better place to invest, build things, create things."
'Billionaire-Friendly Congress'
During his bus tour last month through rural areas of Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, Obama quoted from a New York Times opinion article in which Buffett wrote that the nation's richest individuals have been "coddled long enough by a billionaire- friendly Congress." Buffett argued for raising taxes for the "mega-rich" in the U.S.
Buffett has served as an informal adviser to the president since Obama's 2008 election campaign. He plans to hold a Sept. 30 fundraiser in New York for Obama's re-election bid.
While Obama hasn't set a minimum tax for those with $1 million-plus in income, his prime target is the differential between the tax rates on capital gains and ordinary income. Today's 20-percentage-point difference gives taxpayers an incentive to find ways to reclassify wage income as investment income.
Targeting Farm Subsidies
In addition to the cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, Obama is seeking $260 billion in savings from other so-called mandatory programs not subject to annual appropriations, the officials said. That includes $33 billion in cuts to farm subsidies and $42.5 billion in reductions to federal employee-benefit programs covering both civilian workers and military personnel.
Another $1.1 trillion would come in savings from winding down the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the officials said.
The jobs plan the president has offered is a $447 billion package of tax cuts and spending. He proposes to pay for it largely by capping itemized deductions and some exclusions for individuals earning more than $200,000 a year and married couples earning more than $250,000.
Carried Interest
He also would tax the carried interest, or profits-based compensation, of private equity managers, real estate investors and venture capitalists as ordinary income, instead of more lightly taxed capital gains, and limit the oil and gas industry's ability to claim domestic manufacturing deductions for drilling.
Obama is incorporating all those tax proposals in his deficit plan, along with the expiration of the tax cuts passed under the administration of President George W. Bush for individuals making more than $200,000 and couples making more the $250,000.
The tax increases and spending cuts Obama will propose would come on top of the more than $1 trillion in reductions to discretionary spending that he and Congress agreed to when they raised the national debt limit in August, for a total of more than $4 trillion over 10 years.

TUESDAY'S Roll Call, Feb. 5
1 Attachment(s)
Feels like February is already slipping by..............:dunno:
Thanx for starting us off, Doris. Booking a major trip 8 days before departure is insane, but that's actually good for us right now. Planning on trying to lose weigh with strict low carb on the ship, by taking advantage off someone else doing the cooking, and a wide selection of menu items.
Good Morning gang.
Have fun Begete,it should do you good getting away.
We are going to be rainy today,just the usual that's done weather it rains or not.
Forgot to put the trash out last night,hope they are late picking up.
I've got to put out the trash, too. And, I have to move the car because my house will be power washed this a.m. While that's being done, I have a doctor's appointment. So, it will be a busy morning.
Have you all noticed the gas price increase? I paid $3.59 a gallon yesterday. I got 5 gallons for my $20., not even a half tank. What happened to the lower prices???
As I've mentioned before, Begete, my DD and her DH have been on at least 10 cruises, including all the usual ones plus the one on the Queen Mary to England. Anyways, they have two planned for the next three months. A week from San Diego to Mexico and back. And, then a Panama Canal cruise from Florida to San Diego. That will be their second one thru the canal going in the opposite direction. Of course, they've done all the Caribbean cruises, Mediterranean, Alaska, etc., etc. They love it..
Good luck with getting all of those errands and things done today, Julie! :high5:
Begete, just enjoy yourself on the cruise, it's not like you get away for pleasure that often anymore, you can be strict on yourself at home ;). No punishment on a trip of a lifetime, at least, that is what something like a cruise would be for us. :heart:
Hello Gladys, enjoy your day there, if you are able to get out.
We are off to the high school breakfast now.
Good Morning everyone. Begete, a cruise is just what you need. Its great to just give you worries to the ocean and enjoy the scenery. Wish I had another one in my near future.
Linda, I did try to post the picture from photobucket. Don't know what I did wrong. I'll go back and try again.
Have a super day everyone. Glenda
Sticking my foot in the door.
Busy day today. And I woke with a sore throat...oy vey. Seems like Maggie gets everything coming down the pike and then we all get it, too.
Good morning everyone,
Doris, thanks for the start off. I'll try to do it tonight if you haven't beat me to it.;)
Enjoy the high school breakfast. You are fortunate to have that in your area.
We have about 7 or 8 high schools within a 10 mile radius and none provide that great service.
Babette, just throw some things in your suitcases and enjoy yourselves on the cruise. A getaway shouldn't be work.
Glenda, I see you did get the photo link up. If you post the [/ img] link from either photo bucket or image shack (tinypic ), the picture will show.
The link I posted to tinypic is so much easier though. You can even resize right there before you copy the link.
Julie, that da*ned gas price jumped a whole lot overnight in our area...
Went from $3.55 to $3.89 :venting:
Gladys, enjoy a nice rainy day nap. :D Hopefully they picked your trash up.
Anne, sorry about the sore throat. The little darlings bring every germ and virus home from pre school and school to share :rolleyes:
Bright and sunny here but really cold ... 18 degrees... but I do need to go out to buy cream
Good Morning All,
Thank YOU Doris for our start up. Is that a comptometer machine in your Avi?
Funny how they made lots of noise back then all those keys too.
I can see a few of you gals have been busy already. We have a clear blue sunny sky out there but temps are still low minus -16C today and minus -24 with the windchill. It was minus -37C overnight. I don't know how the animals and birds survive. I try to feed them but no warmth or shelter for them, poor things.
Oh Babette, Enjoy your cruise as Glenda puts it well, give all your worries to the ocean and enjoy the scenery. Wish I was coming with you!
Glenda, When are WE going on a cruise? LOL!
Julie, QE2 no less huh? WTGG! I have a grand nephew that works on that ship.
He lives in London and sails out of Southampton. You must have some fond memories of those cruises. I have only done two cruises with my parents in the 50's both were Mediterranean. I hope to take a Caribbean cruise one day. DH was not fond of the sea and restricted space.
Gladys, it is trash day for me tomorrow. It is so cold I don't feel like preparing it today. It is in the garage but it is cold in there too. I hope DS will help me tonight.
Oh Anne, poor you sick again. I guess a soothing gargle with warm salt water and to suck some lozenges is about all you can do to alleviate that discomfort. You are almost like the school teachers how they pick up all the bugs from their pupils.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Hope to bbl...
Morning all..still trying to figure out where I picked up this bug as I've been the troglodyte but I must have got it from a grocery basket or sumpin'. Anyhoo, couldn't sleep last night at all so slept in this morning. I'm just now getting movin' and having my first cuppa...at noon, fercrissake! Oh well, nuttin' to do except get my trash barrels out to the street (haven't put them out for about three weeks, so my sack a week is collecting. Throat's a bit better this morning, but the cough has started and the head is foggy as heck. Oh well, three days coming, three days having and three days going...so I guess I'm about half-way through the miseries....sigh!
Babette, have you ever taken the ferry north out of Vancouver? We came out of Alaska that way and I've always wanted to go back. You can get off at any stop and catch the next one...the cabins were cheap, and the food was good. It isn't a cruise, but it sure was fun. I'm still planning on a cruise this year, if I ever get off the duff and get my passport....it is number one on my bucket list.
Hope you all have a great day even if the gas prices are rising again...we're over $4 here, up 30 cents in the last week...last time I filled the tank it was $3.47 at Costco..a month ago. Amazing how long a tank lasts if you're not driving anywhere...lol.
back to bed for me, type ya'll tomorrow...
Things have calmed down here. Maggie is sleeping and my throat is a lot better. Must have been overnight drainage.
I'm with you on the driving, Mary. I have had my new car over a month and don't have 300 miles on it as yet! Everything I need is right here at home.
whoopsie, late ettin here.
workin on the piled up little stack of fancies tops with beads & siquens and sweaters that have to be alone each and then a normal lihts and darks loads.
Also, pickin away at the piled up stuff in the kitchen THEN ot to pay bills which I do on line but most of my bills are auto pay which I love.
otta go bbl
Just popping back in to check up on everyone's day.
I must have missed your post Linda What is that pic in your Avi?
Mary, Where will you plan your cruise? That one out of Vancouver sounds interesting. I hope to do the Caribbean first though.
How are your eyes these days? I wouldn't mind getting new lenses inserted instead of wearing 3 pair of glasses.
Anne, glad to hear your throat is improving.
Lainey, good for you sorting those pretty tops and paying bills.
I am still culling papers and clothes to get them out of the house.
I hope to have made a large dent by the summer months.
Hope they picked up your garbage Gladys.
Wishing All a pleasant evening and positive wishes for Louise and Bob.
Good evening. I hope you are feeling better Anne.
Babette, still keeping you in my thoughts. The cruise sounds lovely.
Julie, did you find the PM from me? I answered your PM.
The bank's appraiser did his job. He said he hadn't finalized the numbers yet, but thought everything looked fine as to the purchase price and appraised value. As for the FHA inspection of the house, it passed, except the side porch needs a railing. I hope the owners don't have a fit over it. So we are moving right along.
Thursday, Cathy and I are looking over wallpaper books and she'll pick one out. We need to hire someone to install it. So we will try to get the key and have that person come measure so we can find out how much wallpaper we need to get. I'm buying the wallpaper and wood moldings for her. We will probably have to order the rolls of wallpaper.
I got my nebulizer delivered today and my first treatment. My cardiologist is looking into a hyperbaric chamber to see if that might help. The pot roast came out very good. Just ask the birds and dogs.:laugh:
Verleen, it's good to see you post, and I hope the hyperbaric chamber works for you, how soon would you get to use it?
It's still cold here, another storm moving in tomorrow night, winter blahs still here, and the beat goes on :dunno:
So Begete, you guys are leaving on the 13th then?
Waving at all the rest of you, my pc is not working well, it won't type unless I really hit the keys, for some reason.
Doris, tip it keyboard over and slap/shake it. You might have some dirt under the keys.
Susan, darned cold here in the north east, isn't it? Hopefully it will warm up soon.
That's the duck pond behind our post office in my avatar. Used it to start tomorrow's post.;)
Oh Verleen, How wonderful that things are moving along well for that new house.
Hope the hyperbaric chamber helps the healing. There are a lot of them around here and people rave about how well they help.
Hi Lainey, isn't sorting those things a PITA?:stars:
UGH Mary, sorry about that bug. We can pick them up almost anywhere. Feel better soon.
Anne, Glad your throat is feeling better.
You are lucky not to have a lot of miles on your car. I put at least 2,000 a month on mine.

Washington Week
Episode #4349
Moderator: Gwen Ifill The resignation of George Tenet as CIA director comes at a time when terror alerts are heightened and the war in Iraq is taking a new turn. Washington Post correspondent Dana Priest will dissect the timing, the impact and meaning of Tenet's departure, and what it might mean for the ongoing war on terror. With the interim Iraqi government chosen, the Bush administration is looking ahead to the U.S. role in the new Iraq. At the same time, new revelations about the head of the Iraqi National Congress, Ahmed Chalabi, and whether he might have shared American intelligence information with Iran. Los Angeles Times Washington bureau chief Doyle McManus will have the details on both evolving stories. With great fanfare, the Justice Department announced that the detainedenemy combatant Jose Padilla has admitted that he was an agent of Al-Qaeda. This comes just weeks before the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether individuals like Padilla can be held indefinitely without charges. The inside story of why federal authorities picked now to disclose this information and what impact it might have on the pending Supreme Court case, from Pete Williams, justice correspondent for NBC News. On the political front, with the pickup of a congressional seat in theSouth Dakota special election, Democrats are feeling emboldened. In fact, a gathering of liberals in Washington this week has caught the eye of Wall Street Journal political editor John Harwood, who will focus on the realities of the Democratic euphoria and what it might mean as the political season continues to heat up.
