Kent State Presents Its 17th Aviation Heritage Fair on Sept. 14Posted Sep. 9, 2013
Kent State University's 17th Aviation Heritage Fair will take place Saturday, Sept. 14, from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Kent State University Airport, located at 4020 Kent Road in Stow, Ohio. The fair, a celebration of aviation education past, present and future, is presented by Kent State University's Aeronautics Program with support from the Cleveland Airport System, Parker Hannifin and Ron Marhofer.
"The Aviation Heritage Fair opens the airport to the public and supports aviation education, as well as a celebration of the heritage of aviation and public outreach," says Richard Mangrum, Ed.D., associate professor of aeronautics at Kent State.
This year, the fair will feature two World War II veterans as speakers — Robert Withee, a World War II fighter pilot from Jackson Township, and Ralph Lynn, World War II B-24 pilot from Perry Township.
There will be static displays of several aircraft including a B-25, the Heritage Air Museum's C-123 Provider, an SNJ, the Cleveland Clinic's helicopter and Cessna Citation, SkyFox 8, Castle Aviation Cessna Caravan and more.
"The Aviation Heritage Fair is special amongst other local activities because it is not just any public event; all the proceeds go towards funding scholarships," Mangrum says. "This year marks the award of the first endowed Aviation Heritage Fair Scholarship, as well as the continuation of the Stow-Munroe Kiwanis Club scholarship."
Kent State's Aeronautics Program also is involved with the Six District Educational Compact. This collaboration allows for university involvement in the Aviation Career Academy, housed in the Stow-Munroe Falls High School, where students can earn college credit toward an aviation degree at Kent State while still in high school.
Event admission and parking are free. Airplane rides will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and are $25 per person or $70 per group of three. Those interested in airplane rides must register at the sign-up tent upon arrival. Food and beverages will be available for sale throughout the day.
The fair will begin with a traditional pancake breakfast hosted by the Stow-Munroe Kiwanis Club. Tickets for the breakfast are $6. The fair will take place rain or shine, although some events are subject to change due to inclement weather.
The Kent State Aeronautics Program alumni golf outing will take place on Friday, Sept. 13, at the Kent State Golf Course as part of events marking the Aviation Heritage Fair. Interested alumni should contact Kent State Associate Professor Tim Palcho at email@example.com.

Sixty children from three Title I school sites in the Lowcountry will receive gifts of books from Charleston Southern Universitys Future Teachers Society as part of a service learning initiative called Charleston Child Reads.
Charleston Southerns Future Teachers selected a childs name from lists provided by guidance counselors at Joseph Pye Elementary, North Charleston Elementary and Spann Elementary and matched the childs reading level, age and interests. The books were marked with plates saying: A Gift from the School of Education at CSU.
In addition, sets of classic childrens literature were given to the libraries at each site. Literacy is one of the greatest gifts we can give a child, and these youngsters typically do not own many books. We want them to begin to see books as something personal and important in their lives, said Dr. Linda Karges-Bone, project coordinator.
The School of Education prepares competent, caring teachers committed to student success across 10 certification areas and is a nationally accredited program through NCATE.

Since joining Twitter on Monday night, Thor Batista, the 20-year-old son of Brazil's richest man, has posted no less than 63 tweets to the social network, some in dramatic all-caps. His avatar and background are photos of his own blood-spattered body. In his final tweet before hitting the hay on Tuesday, he wrote: "The phrase I most admire is 'The truth sets you free.' Author: Jesus."
Batista will have the chance to tell his version of the truth on Wednesday, when he will face Brazilian police, who are investigating the young heir on suspicion of manslaughter.
On Saturday, Batista — son of Eike, the 7th richest person in the world with a $30 billion mining fortune — was driving his Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren sports car in a Rio de Janeiro suburb when he hit and killed a cyclist. That much is undisputed. A 30-year-old laborer, Wanderson Pereira dos Santos, died instantly. Thor passed a breathalyzer test at the scene and was not arrested.
What now remains to be decided is whether Thor is at all culpable for da Silva's death. In a move that U.S. lawyers might advise against, both the young nightclub entrepreneur and his billionaire father have taken to Twitter to proclaim Thor's innocence. Batista Sr.'s corporate team took over his verified Twitter account on Sunday, discussing the case on the social network on his behalf with his more than 650,000 followers:
"Thor was at the speed limit, did a breathalyzer test and signed a statement describing the accident," said one tweet. "Thor Batista regrets the accident [on Saturday] and reports that he provided aid to the victim, who was crossing the highway."
Dos Santos' aunt disputes that her nephew was crossing the highway, claiming he would've been on the shoulder at that point in his journey. She added that the state of Wanderson's body indicates a head-on collision at speed. His heart, she told Brazilian newspapers, was inside Thor's car. The family's lawyer Cléber Carvalho Rumbelsperger told the press that the man's body was torn apart and had to be reconstructed for the burial, which was held on Sunday.
Update: In a statement to Forbes on Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson for Eike Batista's EBX conglomerate said:
"Regarding the accident that happened on March 17, Thor Batista deeply regrets the incident, indicating that he provided aid to the victim, who inadvertently crossed the southbound side of Highway BR-040 (Juiz de Fora to Rio) on his bike. Mr. Batista called the ambulance service of the Juiz de Fora-Rio Road Concession Company, which manages the highway, to provide treatment to Wanderson Pereira dos Santos. Thor was driving within the speed limit, took a breathalyzer test and signed a handwritten statement describing the accident at the Federal Highway Police (PRF) station. He will provide all possible assistance to Mr. Pereira dos Santos' family and, within the week, will appear at Rio de Janeiro's 61st Police Precinct to offer an account of events."

MySQLTuner is a script written in Perl that will assist you with your MySQL configuration and make recommendations for increased performance and stability.
MySQLTuner is a script written in Perl that allows you to review a MySQL installation quickly and make adjustments to increase performance and stability. The current configuration variables and status data is retrieved and presented in a brief format along with some basic performance suggestions.
It is extremely important for you to fully understand each change you make to a MySQL database server. If you don't understand portions of the script's output, or if you don't understand the recommendations, you should consult a knowledgeable DBA or system administrator that you trust. Always test your changes on staging environments, and always keep in mind that improvements in one area can negatively affect MySQL in other areas.
Seriously - please review the FAQ section below.
You can download the entire repository by using 'git clone' followed by the cloning URL above. The simplest and shortest method is:
wget mysqltuner.pl
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl/master/basic_passwords.txt -O basic_passwords.txt
perl mysqltuner.pl
Of course, you can add the execute bit (
chmod +x mysqltuner.pl) so you can execute it without calling perl directly.
Question: Will MySQLTuner fix my slow MySQL server?
No. MySQLTuner is a read only script. It won't write to any configuration files, change the status of any daemons, or call your mother to wish her a happy birthday. It will give you an overview of your server's performance and make some basic recommendations about improvements that you can make after it completes. Make sure you read the warning above prior to following any recommendations.
Question: Can I fire my DBA now?
MySQLTuner will not replace your DBA in any form or fashion. If your DBA constantly takes your parking spot and steals your lunch from the fridge, then you may want to consider it - but that's your call.
Question: Why does MySQLTuner keep asking me the login credentials for MySQL over and over?
The script will try its best to log in via any means possible. It will check for ~/.my.cnf files, Plesk password files, and empty password root logins. If none of those are available, then you'll be prompted for a password. If you'd like the script to run in an automated fashion without user intervention, then create a .my.cnf file in your home directory which contains:
Once you create it, make sure it's owned by your user and the mode on the file is 0600. This should prevent the prying eyes from getting your database login credentials under normal conditions. If a T-1000 shows up in a LAPD uniform and demands your database credentials, you won't have much of an option.
Question: It's not working on my OS! What gives?!
These kinds of things are bound to happen. Here are the details I need from you in order to research the problem thoroughly:
* OS and OS version
* Architecture (x86, x86_64, IA64, Commodore 64)
* Exact MySQL version
* Where you obtained your MySQL version (OS package, source, etc)
* The full text of the error
* A copy of SHOW VARIABLES and SHOW GLOBAL STATUS output (if possible)

How to: Jailbreak/Unlock Your 1st Generation iPhone 2.2.1 - Windows PC QuickPWN Edition
Disclaimer - Neither TiPb nor I take any responsibility for any problems/issues/bricking/etc. that may occur while using this software to modify your iPhone. Please be aware of what you are doing.
It was not long ago that we filled you in on the steps to take in order to jailbreak your iPhone 3G on Mac OS X as well as a Windows PC. Well today TiPb is proud to present a step by step guide to not only jailbreak your first generation iPhone 2G but to unlock it while jailbreaking. This is for Windows PC's only.
So if you are against AT&T in the US, or simply need to run your original iPhone on an international carrier like Rogers in Canada or any GSM/EDGE network around the world, then please read on after the jump!
This guide will show you how to jailbreak/unlock the original iPhone 2G only, not the iPhone 3G. Some important notes before we begin: You must have iTunes 8 installed and you must be on firmware 2.2.1, if you are not, be sure to update via iTunes. Also make sure to go into the task manager and disable ANYTHING Apple or iTunes related.
1. Get the tools.
Once you are positive you are running the 2.2.1 on your iPhone and have iTunes 8 installed it's time to get the tools you will need. Create a folder on your desktop named "Pwnage", then download the following files into that folder:
Unzip the QuickPwn.zip file inside the Pwnage folder.
2. Launch QuickPwn
Simply click on the pineapple from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop.
3. Connect your iPhone
Connect your iPhone via USB to your computer and click the blue arrow to continue.
4. Locate Firmware
Now we have to click the browse button to locate your iPhone firmware.
5. Selecting the 2.2.1 firmware IPSW
Select the 2.1 firmware IPSW file from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop then select the IPSW file and click the open button.
6. Firmware Verification
QuickPwn will now verify you have selected the correct firmware. After it is verified click the blue arrow to continue.
7. Customize your firmware
This step allows you select what you'd like installed on your iPhone. You have the ability to select Cydia, Installer, replace boot logos, and unlock your device. Once you have made your selections click the blue arrow to continue on. If you want a full jailbreaking experience, installing Cydia and Installer is highly recommended.
8. Bootloader Files
You will now be prompted to select your bootloader files that I instructed you to download a few minutes ago. Click on the Browse button and select the 3.9 bootloader from the Pwnage folder you created on your desktop. Repeat this for the 4.6 bootloader file. Then click the blue arrow button to proceed.
9. Verify Connection
QuickPwn will noW verify that your iPhone is still connected to your PC. Again click the blue arrow to carry on forward.
10. Potential Tricky Part - Pay Attention
Ok, this part seems to give some people issues, but I assure you it does work. QuickPwn will now put your iPhone into recovery mode. When its in recovery mode you will be given directions to: Hold the Home button for 5 seconds, Hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds, then release the Power button and continuing holding the Home button until your iPhone is in DFU mode.
11. Let the jailingbreaking begin - no going back now!
QuickPwn will detect your phone is in DFU mode and proceed with the jailbreaking process.
12. You are officially jailbroken - Congrats! Now Time to Unlock - Be Patient
Once jailbreaking is complete, QuickPwn will then reboot it and run BootNeuter. Let BootNeuter take over, do not interupt it. This process will take about 5 minutes. Your iPhone will reboot when it has completed and you will have a fully unlocked iPhone!
13. Setting up data connection - T-Mobile ONLY
Go into Settings, General, then Network and enter the following information.
APN: wap.voicestream.com
Username: (leave empty)
Password: (leave empty)
For other Mobile Carriers data settings check out this link.
Well that's it folks, it's time to start exploring this whole new world you have just opened. For answers to more of the questions you may have regarding jailbreaking please head on into our forums. There are always members of our community willing to help you out!

How to: Jailbreak/Unlock Your 1st Generation iPhone 2.2.1 - Windows PC QuickPWN Edition
well, if you guys are looking for ATT unlock these days, you might want to check out attiphoneunlocking, its a good site
When I did this and installed a At&t sim card it stayed at the make an emergency call screen! This it said wrong sim! But here's the thing, I could make and recieve calls but only from they emergency screen. Someone help please!
You need to restore your iPhone to factory first before you use QuickPwn.
Insert the sim from the provider you WISH to use first.
Clear down the folder where your iTunes restore files are Should be "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates" (where %username% is your PC's profile name)
Open iTunes with the iPhone connected and hold down the 'home' button. iTunes should recognise an iPone is connecting in 'restore mode'. iTunes will now download and install the latest 2.1 firmware. Let it complete this but when it is finished do nothing more than close iTunes. DO NOT ACTIVATE THE PHONE just close iTunes.
Now run QuickPwn select the newly downloaded firmware that iTunes just installed from the folder above, click on and tick all the required boxes, choose the boot file paths and click on, go through all the steps and once the phone reboots you will be active with no prompt to activate! Happy Dayzz
The crutial part is the iPhone firmware must never have been activated via iTunes in the first place otherwise it will always fail when you change SIM cards.
Hope this helps ricardo.
Unbelievable !!! It works perfectly !!!
1) Nice screens
2) Easy, very easy
3) Just follow the instructions

Basically re-install new Tzones Hack from BigBoss at Cydia
Weird, My first gen phone was already jailbroken and unlocked at version 2.0 I upgraded to iTunes default 2.1 before proceeding with the tutorial and the phone is only missing my Cydia/Cydia Apps (Not Jailbroken) but it is still unlocked and Im ready to make calls and didnt loose any other settings. Just an FYI for those who are in my same config and the jailbreak isnt important to you. (-:

I jailbroke my iphone 2G, first I did it without the T-mobile sim card in place and then with the sim card in, but it still gives me the same error, "Different sim detected, Please connect to iTunes", When I connect to itunes, it says, "The sim card is not supported", I can receive and make phone calls. Does anyone know how this could be solved??
I had already tried 3 other methods I found on the internet and my son's friend (who's supposed to be an iphone guru) tried it too with no success. I did exactly as you said to do and followed all your directions and it was a total success!!! Thank you guys so much!!! I installed a T-mobile sim card works great!!!
I myself have the iPhone 3G I used winpen2.5, noticed it only jailbroke my phone how do I go about unlocking it also and when do I have to insert the tmobile sim card before or after I start using quickpwn? And where can I get the little needle tool to pop out the apple/AT&T simcard??? Thank you
i´ve got the German Version for this. If somebody need´s it in German language.
Worked like a charm. I used my sim card for my ATT prepaid phone. Works perfectly!! THANKS!!!
damn guys im really pissed off !!! i tried this methods almost over 4 times and not only with this method but with many others that i found in the internet and none seems to work !!!!! im really pissed offff i want to unlock my iphone but damn there's simply no way !! i have the 2.1 ,,, after the prosedures it gets locked at the emergency screen!!!
I have to re-unlock and re-jailbreak phone.. will this work even if it was already jailbroke/unlocked? I am already on 2.1 firmware..just want to make sure this is the correct tool.. I bought my phone already unlocked etc. my data is showing up as all orange and itunes says it cannot read my phone anymore.. so wanted to check before I do a restore ..thanks
I have tried this method for so many times and still works ! The best method ever .
This was attempted on 5.11.2008
Hi I was using ziphone with 1.1.4 firmware and wanted to use Quickpwn 2.1. I restored my Iphone from I tunes by clicking and holding SHIFT then hitting restore in I tunes and after it rebooted it asked me to insert original sim-card. I inserted my pay as you go O2 sim-card, which it was happy with. I went to upgrade to 2.1.1 firmware but it asked me to upgrade to the latest I tunes. After updating I tunes I then uploaded the firmware 2.1.1 I then followed the procedures exactly as explained from QuickPwn, everything worked fine. It came to the end which also unlocked the phone but when putting in the unofficial sim-card, it said "Please insert original sim-card.".
I would really appreciate any help to solve my problem.
Thanks James
I had a bit of a problem with the unlock procedure, but as others have said you need to use itunes update before quickpwn. {Pay attention to comment Number 10 by Clever. Cheers m8}I also did it without a sim card in and it worked. It will come up with a message saying there is no sim card but just tap the screen and it goes off.
1. Use itunes Version 8 to do the restore, clear any other update out of the itunes folder and let itunes download the file not the ispw from here
- Use quickpwn 2.1 and follow it exactly as the tutorial says and it should work for you.
Thanks for all the help guys I now have a 2.1 iphone unlocked and jailbroken. Cheers Kev
I've followed the steps up to number 3, BUT QuickPwn wont detect my 2g iPhone. The blue arrow is greyed out.......HELP????
The phone has been updated from 1.1.4 to 2.1 using the custom firmware. Phone now shows the emergency call screen and iTunes says that the sim is not compatible.
I wish I'd never bothered updating - can anyone help????
I was having all sorts of problems with QuickPwn - but managed to do the whole process very easily last night. What I would suggest is to put the phone into DFU restore, open iTunes and restore the firmware to the official 2.1.
Using the above tutorial, start from step 2 and make sure that you follow all the onscreen prompts. Do not disconnect the phone or dislodge the usb cable. Everything should work fine.
If you synced your phone to iTunes, before attempting the QuickPwn process iTunes will popup a dialog offering to "restore data from a backup". You can then restore your contacts, text etc....
Some issues have been found though using this process with phones previously on 1.1.4. See how it goes.............good luck.
For those of you who has the issue with "Please insert original sim-card." after unlocking with QuickPwn please follow comment #10 first then run QuickPwn again. This includes you guys with AT&T sim cards and pay-as-you-go sims.
I had that problem and this site helped me fix the issue.
1. Had to restore back to factory default of 2.1
2. Put my carrier's sim card in (Tmobile). It could even be a pay-as-you-go sim
3. Ran QuickPwn again
4. Phone works now.
I also got my phone off craigslist and had scoped out this website knowing that i would use it to unlock my phone for t-mobile. I restored it using itunes 8 and followed the procedures but like most of the people before me, got left with the "emergency" calls only screen. I repeated the procedures about 3 times and nothing, so i decided to do the restore again and ran the applications once more and BAM there it was, up and working. For those of you who plan on following this procedure anticipate this happening to you, be patient and restore if you get the emergency message and try again. Worked for me. Thanks for all the info and help!
Thank you so much. I have been seaching for days for an easy to undestand tutorial. Downloaded all files you specified, followed your direction EXACTLY and my first attempt at unlocking and jailbreaking went much more smoothly than I had anticipated! In about 30 minutes (including download time) I was done and using t-mobile, wi-fi worked perfectly and so far everything seems to work perfect! YOU GUYS ROCK!
Worked without any hassles – BTW, though it says all Apple processes and services in the Windows Task Manager should be disabled (or stopped), Apple Mobile Services needs to be ON. The Pwange tool does not recognize without this services ON. I had stopped iPod services as a precaution.
Otherwise, the entire procedure seems to be seamless and thoroughly hassle free.
Actually speaking, the entire process is meant for dumbest of dummies!!!
I have a 2g 2.1 iphone that im trying to unlock for my mom. She has a razor with at&t and i would like to switch the sim from her razor into the iphone. I have tried to unlock it multiple times and i always get the emergency screen everyone else keeps getting. Is there something I could possibley be doing wrong? Do I leave her sim card in there right after i restore the iphone?
works perfectly! im on optus prepaid (australia). i was scared to put my sim in before unlocking the phone, but i did and nothing happened. i just lost all my contacts and msg's etc, but that was expected, being a new phone and all. thankyou soo much! also, remember to follow cmnt #10. i didnt try it without that step first, but it worked for me with using that step, so i would recommend it.
hey whats up!! Im just unlocked my iphone first generation and is worked. I can use my Chilean movistar SIM. originally I get th iphone with a contract on England with O2 company, but I done it and unlock it. Th only matters now is with the phone keyboards..doesnt allow me to dial any number, when I go to trough th screen, this one appears a few second, and then goes to th main screen. I can make phone calls and received them trough my contact list, but th main phone keyboard doesnt work properly...any recommendation?
thanks in advance
Is there an unlock for AT&T sim cards for a 1rst Gen iphone running 2.1 firmware? I have a jailbroken phone but evertime i put in a different sim it want me to activate thru i tunes and wants me to upgrade my sim to a data plan. I just want to put a sim card in without adding data and use it as an ipod, iphone, text messages, and wifi. Is this possible and If so is there also a tutorial out there?
Hello all,
I'm trying to jailbreak/unlock a iphone 2g with 2.1 firmware already on it using QuickPwn using the steps shown above. However; everytime I get to the activation screen where I have to hold home for 5 seconds and then home+power for 10 seconds and home for 30secs I get the following message:
Your device has connected in the wrong mode. This can be caused by incorrect following of the instructions, or a faulty USB connection.
I've changed USB connections so I know it's not the USB, how do I know what mode I'm in?
I've also followed the procedures in comment #10 where iTunes 8 uploads the most recent firmware 2.1 on the iphone; however nothing happens since I already have 2.1. iTune just prompts if I want to activate with AT&T, at that point I just close iTunes as directed in comment #10.
Also, I can't get out of the "slide for emergency" mode; it's suppose to say "slide to unlock".
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I've been at this for a few days. If more information is needed please ask and I will respond. I have a AT&T SIM card as well.
im running 2.2 so i hope this works. 2.2 is a real pain in the arse. also to those that dont know you can unlock or jailbreak to your discression but you need to unlock to make calls and you void your warrenty if you screw up... usually those you can just system restore and begin again.
OK guys to those people who are having problems with their sim cards not working. What I did was have my sim card in the phone when i updated to 2.1. Before you start quickpwn make sure everything itunes related is not running then just run quickpwn and follow steps oh and the part that gave me the most trouble was the step where you have to hold the buttons down. You have to wait till it tells you that your phone is in recovery mode, then start holding the buttons down as it prompts you.
i have been trying to unlock the iphone for 24 hours straight. i follow all the directions but it always gets stuck when it takes the phone to recovery mode. it never tells me to go ahead and press home button for 5 seconds or anything like that. i followed comment 10 to a T. i have my sim in there. i must have restored the phone back to factory 20 times already. its driving me crazy. i tried quickpwn and ziphone and everytime the programs take my phone to recover mode everything just sticks. then i go to itunes and restore it myself and start over. argh
Hurray, I just got it working!! The trick is to hold the home button for 5 seconds let go of the home button and then select it again while simultaneously holding the power button for 10 seconds, then let go of the power button after 10 seconds but keep holding on to the home button until your phone is jailbroken
thank you brother, I was strugling with this iphone you saved me. thank you so much... keep it up.
HELP!.. i tried doing this but when it comes to select the firmware, i clicked browse and i clicked what it says i should click but it did not work..
what do you reckon i should do?
Oh and also i own the iPhone 2g and on the screen of QuickPwn it says;
"The correct IPSW will have a name beginning with iPhone1,12.2 but on your printscreen of QuickPwn it says "iPhone1,12.1"
i really don't know what to do.
Help please,
a big big gigantic thank you thank you thank you ....
i've a 2G iPhone which was on 1.1.3, bought from US and carried to Singapore in Mar08.
i used Ziphone to unlock, jailbreak and activate to singapore's local mobile svc provider..and that worked well
just yesterday (29Nov), my itchy fingers "upgraded" the device to OS2.2 thru iTunes8.0.2...as a consequence, my iPhone died on me...i struggled for the entire day and then... windows quickpwn2.2 did the job. i still needed the 3.9 and 4.6 bootloader (at the top of this page)
it worked and now, my iPhone is able to detect my svc provider (it's called, MobileOne) and after struggling for 24 hours...i finally got it to work...
what a relief....
thanks a big big bunch to the dev team.... really appreciate your quickpwn2.2 solution to unlock, jailbreak and activate
God bless u all !!!!
I'd just like to say thank you so much for your wonderful help. When I found out that my I couldn't use my iPhone because I was on a different network, I was devastated. However, after a week of research, I stumbled across your website and 30 minutes later... here I am!
Happy with my finally unlocked iPhone!
I think I had most problems listed above before I actually got my phone to unlock and jailbreak. Mostly I had the "Please insert original SIM card" message. My phone was not new and had been used with AT&T service. This is everything I had to do before it finally worked. Use ITunes to restore you phone to the factory default 2.1 firmware before you begin. TIP- find a way to do this without the SIM card installed. I say find a way because I had to try multiple plug in sequences before ITunes stopped giving me the message no SIM card installed. I believe this is the only way to remove the record of the AT&T SIM card. Also ITunes will want to install the latest version of firmware 2.2 don't let it. If you hold down the 'SHIFT' key when you press RESTORE in ITunes the software will let you choose what firmware to install. From here follow the procedure as outlined keeping the SIM card slot empty. Once procedure is complete put in your NON AT&T SIM card.
I have a 2nd hand iphone i got off a mate who bought it from the states, 8GB. my problem is the phone was already unlocked and jailbroken, i tried to update it via tunes with ym optus sim in it but now it wont restore the original settings and is just onm the emergency call screen with itunes and a USB in the back ground. so i can't do all the steps above, as it takes me back to the lets set up your iphone page on itunes. i cant set it up cause it always comes up with intunes cannot complete the setup after i agree to the terms and conditions cause im guessing it needs the original sim which i have no idea where that is..
can somebody please help, i just got all my numbers onto this new phone
Thank You. Many other programs are corrupt or simply don't work. This one does off the bat. Thanks again.
Went through all the steps; was working perfect. Then i reset settings and files from the settings screen (the one that takes around an hour). Now when I restart it just gets stuck with the apple (pineapple) screen and wont show up in iTunes. Is there anything i can do to fix it or restore it?
I torrented all the files from the links provided, but when i try to run quickpwn it says "To run this application, you must first install one of the following versions of the .NET Framework: v2.0.50727"
what does this mean? does this method only work on vista? i have a 1st generation iphone on 2.1
It is amazing I actually did it!! It worked!!Took me three attempts. I had to restore to 2.2 in i tunes the 2nd time around, until I found out from a comment above that if you hold down the shift key as you click restore it will allow you to pick the firmware and I got back to 2.1.On my third attempt I used the t mobile sim from the beginning and it worked, I didn't have to remove it at any point! Don't give up guys, trust me, I am not good with computers, I amazed my daughter, it was her phone, she was going to pay to get it done! Thanks sooo much everyone, it didn't take too long once I got the hang of it, and I really feel I have accomplished something now! Happy Holidays to you all!!
hi! i have the same problem as everybody does! when i tried to sync my unlocked 2G 2.1 iphone with itunes, i got the phone locked with just an itunes background and the ability to only do an emergency call!(basically i can dial and receive calls but i can;t do anything else. my service is t-mobile) does anybody can help me :(?
This worked well. The key was to make sure I restored the 2.1 software WITH my T-mobile card in and then follow the steps. looks like it's working just fine.
yo good looks to everyone that posted u helped me big time when i fucked up big time real fast, but onto the next thing. when i updated to 2.2 i lost all my numbers in the process when i restored it back to unlock. is there a way to get those back and is there a way to get my email to work? it keeps telling me that the ssl isn't working correctly. thanks guys and once again THANK YOU BIG FUCKING PROPS TO ALL OF YOU!
thanx you very much :)
please help!
ma brother just got me an iPhone,im with t-mobile so he had to get it unlocked for me. it was working fine then i guess when i connected it to my computer something went wrong. everything got earased and itunes said i had to restore the phone so i did. when i disconnected it, it told me that my SIM card wasent compatable. i took the SIM card out and put it back in and it did the same thing. i tried resetting it but nothing works.
i know that it's back to the factory settings but i want to unlock it again so i can use it with my t-mobile SIM card. i started to unlock it and it was going well until i got to step 6. where it tells you to browse for firmware. the right bundle is selected but the blue arrow won't pop up so i can go to the next step.
if there's anyone who can help, because i really need it, please do. thanks!
Try the link below. I just completed this last night.

How to Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 3G
Here: http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2009/01/02/how-to-jailbreak-unlock-your-ipho...
I have an iphone 2g. And I have a (regular) ATT Sim card from my old regular phone. I tried to do all steps here and it didn't work. I tried to downgrade to FW 1.1.4 and used ziphone 1.0 and still didn't worked:
- No Service
- Wifi seemed to have a very weak signal. It only works if i go VERY near my wireless modem. At 5 feet away, i lost the signal. I tried resetting all on General settings and still wont work.
My first question is, would my OLD (non-iphone) ATT Sim could actually work on un unlocked/jailbroken iphone? Is somebody out here actually use an OLD ATT Sim??
Secondly, what is wrong with my wifi signal?
I really appreciate any Help...Thanks Guys!
Hi all,
I will be receiving my new gently used Iphone tomorrow and am excited to jailbreak and unlock it to use with t-mobile. But I am bit confused. I have been researching for the past week on current jail breaking/unlocking procedures, and so far this website is the most thorough and detailed of all of them. But these steps and intructions are on how to to jail break/unlock iphones on 2.1 and other sites are already posting procedures and steps for 2.2 with QuickPwn 2.2
IE - http://www.techbot.net/2008/12/10/step-by-setp-unlock-jailbreak-iphone-f....
Does this mean that this procedure is outdated or does it mean that the experts on this site do not recommend upgrading to and jail breaking/unlocking for 2.2? I ask because these instructions are dated back in early October 7th and quite a bit has occurred since then. Can anybody, or experts, editors of this site, comment on this? As I about to unlock my iphone tomorrow and want to make sure that I am applying the most current, verified, and recommend method out there. Thanks and have great day!
I have read all of the feed back. I have a different problem. Followed all the steps and it worked perfectly as describe, right until the last step on QuickPwn. After following the sequence of buttons an error message comes up in the last second before preparing to jailbreak sayin "Your device has connected in the wrong mode. This can be caused by incorrect following of instructions, or a faulty USB connection. Please try again".
I have tried numerous times, and differnet IPOD leads and different USB points, does it need to be an IPHONE lead specifically or are they universal. I have followed the steps 100% so I am thinking connection but has anyone heard of this? The leads work fine recognising the phone in I tunes to restore it???
IphonePro, Thanks for the reply. I researched some more on the actual Iphone-dev team blog and found that upgrading your Iphone first gen/2g is fine and breaking it with QuickPwn 2.2 package is fine. This Baseband issue only occurs when you are trying to unlock 3G. I just jailbreaked and unlocked my iphone2g successfully. Everything is working perfectly without a hitch.
Bart, it doesn't matter. You can leave it or out at the restore. But I would put it in before you initiate QuickPwn. Also, if you plug in your Iphone and get some kind of message stating that "your sim is not supported", and it won't recognize you iphone in itunes, don't worry. Just hold down the power and home button till you get an error message with a triangle warning starting that your iphone needs to go into DFU or recovery mode. Then select ok on the error, hold down shift and select restore and select the firmware you desire for the procedure. After the restore is done, you will still get this error (sim unsupported) but at least you know for sure what firmware you are on. Go ahead and run the QuickPwn utility and follow the directions on the utility. You should be good to go. Good luck!
NOTE: Since you are unlocking your phone to tmobile, I will assume you were like me and not need any old data on the phone. Restoring will erase all old data on the phone. btw - I upgraded to ver 2.2 fine with the below link. It's awesome.
how long does it take for the iphone to
"connect in recovery mode"
Please see below comment. All hail the great UsMan..:D

I downloaded quickpwn now it wont let me open it. it tells me i need to install one of the following versions of the .NET framework: v2.0.50727 it also says to contact my application publisher for instructions about obtaining the appropriate version of th .NET framework. any way can i get some help in laymans terms. I'm really lost.
jack you can download the latest ver of .NET framework from the link below.http://www.filehippo.com/downloaddotnetframework_3/
after installation reboot your windows and when you run quick pwn right click it and click on "Run as Admin"
everything will go fine.
It worked like a charm... the tricky part was to get the right iphone firmware installed... if you do restore on itunes it loads with the latest 2.2 version but for 2.1 I had to download the firmware from another site http://iphone.unlock.no/#restore-firmware-files then did the shift+restore and gave me the option to choose the firmware. After that i followed the procedure as written... the process went very smoothly... Thanks Guys, you rock!!!
I just bought an iPhone 2g currently running on version 2.2 and is NOT Unlocked or Jailbroken... I am a current AT&T customer usding a Palm Treo... When I enter my simcard it only lets me make Emergency calls... Any help?????? I also have Windows XP... I dont see why I would need to Unlock/Jailbreak since I am already a AT&T user, but if any1 can help it would be greatful.....
Hi, to whom ever created this cool easy software. I really do appreciate it, Thank you so much, everything worked out just find. Its unlocked (NO JOKE)!! to everyone else reading this just follow this mysterious person's easy instructions and everything reveals and unfolds itself. There is one thing that I need help with though. This had been going on since I had ATT, but when i make calls I can hear the person just find, but they cant hear me, I dont know if its my speaker or anything, please email a my personal email if anyone has an perticular idea as to what steps i can take to resolve this problem. THANK YOU :-)
O my god gys!!!!!!!!! That f.....g iphone. I took my three nights to get the f.....g thing to work. Sorry for the language but i was pretty pissed till 5 min ago. Thanks for that blog it helped me a lot. I was trying to unlock my 2G iphone so i can use it back home in eastern europe.
Everything that is shown on that web site is 100% true.
The onli problem is that the very beginning is not clear- this is when (comment #10) comes in place, but still might be a little confusing
That's why i am going to tell you exactle what i did.
1)i'm using 2G updated on the same computer already at 2.2.1
2) my computer is slow and running xp proffesional :)
3) as (#10 clever) says take your original sim card out, and put the one you want to use after the unlock
4) plug your iphone,open itunes hold the home button down or both of them if it somehow does't work. You need to get it to say that "iPone is connecting in 'restore mode". The only option you will have is to hit "restore"
After hitting it it gonna say " would you like to restore default settings and update.." where you will say yes but now VERY IMPORTANT- IT THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCESS YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE YOUR IPHONE PLUGGED IN FOR UPDATING AFTER THE RESTORE IS DONE. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!!!! AFTER THE RESTORE YOUR IPHONE WILL REBOOT AND THIS IS WHEN YOU TURN ITUNES OFF.
That's it after that follow all these steps and you will be fine. Just keep trying.
I know i am probably repeating other comments i just wanted to make it a little more clear.
I hope that helped you and you will never see tha f.....g sign "Different sim detected"
Thanks a lot
i jailbroke my iphone 2g but wen i put my tmobile sim card it said diffrent sim detected connect 2 itunes then i connect it 2 itunes and it shows sim card not supported how do i fix this problem some one plz help me
email me at firstname.lastname@example.com thanks
My iphone was jailbroken and unlocked and then I upgraded to the latest update from itunes. Once, update was finished, the screen was stuck in the "slide for emergency" connect to iTunes mode. I could receive all texts and calls, and make calls from the emergency keyboard, and the phone recognized my GSM carrier, so I figure it was still unlocked. How do I get my iphone screen back to normal? Help. My phone is a 2g (8gb).
Followed all thesteps trying to unlock my phone.
Went from 2.1 firmware to 2.2.1.
Had the Bootneuter running at its last step.
But i am still unable to UNLOCK my phone. It shows NO SERVICE. But manage to installed cydia n installer.
Under CARRIERS > Network Selection, im able to see my provider. Upon clicking it i get "RESTRICTED NETWORK" "Your selected cellular network is restricted. You can choose a different network in Settings"
Plz help
Just want to ask for some links. I upgraded my old 2g iPhone her. 1.1.2 to the new 2.2.1 with the pawnage tool. It's unlocked and jailbroken. I can call and send and recieve text. Tried 3 different sims I have. At& t. Orange and a free generic pay as I go. All worked But. Some things don't work.map can't locate me you tube doesn't work. My bitesms account can't update credits to this phone. And there's probably more. That I haven't tried. So any links or help would be greatly appreciated. Thx ltr mike
Worked perfectly for me. God bless you
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I just got my iphone in the mail and it was supposed to be unlocked but of course when I inserted my tmobile sim it said emergency calls only and when I connected to itunes I got the unsupported sim message. I followed your instructions and comment #10 and was unable to unlock it myself. I am the least computer literate person on the planet and I was afraid I would have to send the phone back or pay to have it unlocked. YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!! If I could do this anyone can!!!
Having spent all night trying to get this to work, I finally figured it out. I was suffering from the "Wrong Sim / Emergency Only" call screen and it was doing my head in.
So here is exactly what I did.
- Insert the new sim card (the one you are wanting to use once unlocked)
- Connect the phone to the pc and open itunes.
- Once opened press and hold the POWER button and the HOME button until the screen turns off (black). (Your device also disappears from iTunes)
- When the screen turns black release the POWER button while still holding the HOME button until your device pops back in iTunes.
iTunes will then detect your device in recovery mode and ask you to restore it.
- Click to restore, it will then ask to restore default setting and update. Again click yes to this.
- Allow this to run fully. After roughly 2-3 minutes it will ask you to "leave your iPhone plugged in for updating or rebooting" (can't remember exactly what it said). As soon as it says this close iTunes, but don't touch the iPhone.
- Next follow the steps as listed above and hopefully your iPhone will be unlocked.
Well that's how I got it to work for me.
Thanks for the help above, especially # 205 (Fobus666)
Good luck
Wow these instructions worked perfectly. Very impressed. I'm only 15 and I had no problem with it, not to say that 15 yr olds are stupid.. ANYWHO!.. great stuff. Thanx
hi, its says that im on the network of my sim, but i cant get it to the the iphone it didnt work, any help? thank you.
hay, thanks it is jailbroken fine, but wasnt unlucoked, ?
JARRR!!! #10 was the key for me to getting my AT&T iPhone unlocked onto T-Mobile prepay. This actually had a disabled AT&T SIM at first because I upgraded to the 3G 6 months ago. I had the different SIM problem at first until I found comment #10. I had to use my AT&T SIM to connect to iTunes and initiate a Restore, but IMPORTANT: I closed iTunes while the iPhone was rebooting after the restore (before it could activate via AT&T), put in my T-Mobile SIM and then ran QuickPwn selecting only the unlock option. When it was done and phone finally rebooted, it was up and running on T-Mobile! Yes! Thanks everyone! Now I'm ready for iPhone OS 3.0...
... and even though I had to do a full restore (wipe out all my info and media), after I successfully unlocked, I was able to restore from the previous backup (even though it was from when I had AT&T and associated with a different phone #) and get all my stuff back. It just takes a while...
wow! im really happy now. i just followed the steps and there, i had my phone unlocked. thank you!
absolutely amazing guys done mine on 24/03/2009 as i borrowed a freinds iphone and basically f****d it up but with your help ive sorted it just hope he doesnt notice the home screen change!!!!
my iphone just showes a pinapple and vibrates twice and does nothing elese please help
244 still having the same problem if any one can help me please send me a email at firstname.lastname@example.com
thanks justin
i am having the same problem as every one elese i put my tmobile card in and it wants me to connect it to itunes.

A BMW 2 series prototype crashed on the German Autobahn yesterday evening. According to the article, the driver lost control of his car at high speed, clipping 50m of the beam barrier on the right hand side of the road and came to a rest after another 150m in the left hand lane. Furthermore, 4 other cars on the other side were hit by debris. Luckily the driver sustained only minor injuries and no one else was hurt.
Yes, a comparison of the M235i against a 435i M Sport or potential M435i would be a more appropriate comparison, but there are no revealed photos of the 435i M Sport (and no photos of a potential M435i). This is just to provide our members with a comparison of the 2 Series vs 4 Series' general shapes and looks.
The angles on the spy photos also don't match up exactly, but we will post another visual comparison once we have official photos for both models.
The M135i hatchback will soon receive a sibling in the BMW lineup by way of the M235i coupe. They will share the same heart – the N55 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine making approximately 315-320hp, as well as the same transmission and other mechanicals. On paper, the two should achieve similar performance numbers, with a slight edge potentially going to the M235i coupe.
As for exterior differences, it's clear from these comparison photos. Besides the clear form factor difference (coupe versus hatchback), the M235i gets an overall … CONTINUED
Now that we've spied an uncovered 2 Series, let's take a look at how it stacks up visually against what will be one of main competitors – the Mercedes CLA sedan (with Sport package). One may be a coupe and the other a sedan with coupe-like styling, but this is the closest match we have, until the rumored 2 Series Gran Coupe is revealed.
Once the 2 Series official specs and photos are released, we'll put together another comparo comparing official photos, as well as physical … CONTINUED
Here is the M235i coupe, fully uncovered (save for the covering on the back). But, nearly the entire car is revealed here!
Non-fans of the F20 1 Series front design with its in-your-face headlights and blunt nose look will appreciate the much sportier 2 series coupe front end, with significantly sleeker headlights and grilles.
The front air intakes are large and aggressively shaped, with the fins that we spied in the last M235i sighting. As on the prototypes, the wheels are from the M135i, as are the … CONTINUED
The BMW M235i coupe continues testing on the Nurburgring, this time in Valencia Orange. While this prototype remains in the same level of camouflage as previously sighted prototypes, it does give us a glimpse at the M235i's front end design.
What the M235i reveals through the heavy front end camo are large air intake vents with fins like those featured on the M6 and spied on the upcoming M3/M4. You can also see the bottom of the bumper's splitters poking out below the camouflage. These seem … CONTINUED
We've given you live action looks of the M235i and 228i during winter testing, now have a look at the M235i coupe undergoing testing at the Nurburgring this week.
The M235i mule is seen in Estoril Blue II and shares its wheels, M Sport brakes, and double black exhaust pipes with the M135i hatchback. A trunk spoiler lip can also be seen clearly.
M235i and 228i coupe production begins in November. There will be no 235i model in the US or elsewhere, as the M235i will take … CONTINUED
We give you the first clear look at the interior of the F22 BMW 2 Series (M235i) coupe. As the 2 Series lineup is based off the current F20/F21 1 Series hatchbacks, it comes as no surprise that the interiors are nearly identical.
As this is the M235i (there will be no regular 235i), we see all the M Sport bits fitted from the M135i hatchback, including alcantara sports seats (with hexagonal pattern and blue contrast stitching), aluminum dash trim and door handles with hexagon texture, … CONTINUED
Per BMW insider Scott26, rumor comes of the 2 Series Gran Coupe now being 'fast tracked' for a 2015 release:
Yes the 2 Series might be behind the CLA and the A3 Sedan. But as the 6 Series Gran Coupe showed that it can be worth the wait. The 4 Series and 2 Series Gran Coupe will not be any different. With the 2 Series Gran Coupe now fast tracked for 2015 , BMW intend to make the gran entrance in this segment, the appearance will … CONTINUED
With the 2 Series coupe set to make its debut later this year (production begins in November), BMW may be sending out teaser signals with this recent video.
The 2 Series coupe and convertible are on their way, having already been spied in testing for months now. So what's next to come in the 2 Series lineup? Possibly the 2 Series Gran Coupe, which Autobild has taken a crack at rendering. Although no prototypes have yet been spotted, it's been previously rumored by BMW insider Scott26 to be on the way.
Here are the models that may round out the 2 Series lineup (some more likely than others), per Scott26:

OK, it's not truly being hooned, but a M235i coupe prototype is seen doing doughnut patterns in an empty lot as part of its testing. As a result, we get a great live look at all the various angles of the car – a bit like the car being on a rotating auto show display. We also get a good listen at its exhaust and engine sounds.
There is also a brief look at the F22 2 Series Coupe against the F30 3 Series Sedan, for … CONTINUED
F22 2 Series coupe (228i) prototype spotted in SoCal. First prototype sighting in the US.

There will be no 235i model in the US or elsewhere, as the M235i will take its place in the lineup.

It's likely that at least some of the cars here are AWD xDrive models testing performance in the snow.

We've previously posted photos of the 2 Series coupe (F22) and convertible (F23) testing, but we've not spotted them testing together, giving us a great look at how the two models compare visually.

Thus far, the spied camouflaged 2 Series Coupe and Convertible prototypes remain under heavy front camouflage, obscuring the front fascia design.
But BMW insider Scott26 has shared with us this sketch of what to roughly expect from the 2 Series. As one can see, the smaller (compared to F20) headlights will join the kidney grilles as we've expected. The front end's general look is certainly sportier and more angular based on this sketch.
Here is the 2 Series Coupe (F22) prototype and the closest look yet at BMW's upcoming compact sports coupe. This may be the 228i model, which joins the 235i and M235i as prototypes we've now spied. See the full 2 Series spy photo archive.
The closeups here give the best look yet at the 2 Series headlights, which are indeed much smaller and sleeker than the headlights of the F20/F21 1 Series hatchback (with which the 2 Series lineup shares a platform). While the inside corners … CONTINUED

HAZARD — This year marked the fifth anniversary of the Shop with a Coal Miner event in Perry County, during which students from across the region have the chance to buy needed and wanted items as a part of a charitable program run by Coal Mining Our Future.
Over 120 students from several surrounding counties and schools are paired up with a coal miner and allowed to buy $100 worth of items they want, and then any items they need on top of that. Coal Mining Our Future Director Haven King said that he is always happy to see the children buying for themselves, but even more impressed with how many buy gifts for family.
The students came in groups of around 50 on Tuesday and filled Magic Mart while shopping. When the students were done, they were given food and drinks and a bag of food items to take home.
The children are chosen by the schools as being in need, and each school is able to send the same number of students.
The money for this event and other charity given to children from Coal Mining Our Future's Coal for Kids is donated by coal companies in the region. King said he wanted to thank all of those that help make this event and many others such a success every year.
With so many families in need due to layoffs in the coal industry, King added that helping these kids is the least they can do to give back.

You can learn more on how to prevent E. coli, and more on the symptoms of the related STEC infections by clicking here.
The Brazos County Health Department and the Texas Department of State Health Services are investigating five cases of a possible fatal strain of E. coli found in Brazos County residents.
The health department confirms that two children, both of whom are related, are in the hospital. Sources tell us that they are in fair condition at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
Two brothers from College Station are now fighting for their young lives after contracting E. coli.
Noah Melton and 4-year-old Jack Melton were transported from a hospital in College Station to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. They have since received dialysis, blood transfusions and around- the-clock care.
The hospital confirms that both brothers have been upgraded from critical to fair condition.
Three local adults have also been confirmed to have E. coli. All cases have been confirmed within the last week by the health department, the most recent coming Monday.
Three additional local cases are also under investigation, but have yet to be confirmed.
All five confirmed cases, according to the health department, have the 0157:H7 strain. The health department says it can cause kidney failure and possibly death.
The sources of the E. coli have not been confirmed. Investigators say the potential causes could be anything from contaminated water to beef to vegetables.
"It would be great if we could say this is it. They ate here, they got sick here, easy to fix, done," said Dr. Eric Wilke with the Brazos County Health Department. "With several cases, not all eating at the same place, that makes it a little more challenging to figure out."
Symptoms include bloody diarrhea and vomiting.
"If you look at everyone that might have this, there's most of the people don't get kidney complications, they just get a bad case of diarrhea," said Dr. Wilke.
The best advice from doctors is to make sure you wash your vegetables especially wash your hands after processing raw foods.
The state health department has taken the lead on the investigation and is following up on several leads.
A Wednesday morning press conference at the Brazos County Health Department provided no additional information regarding the situation.

The family has set up a Facebook page to provide updates about the boys.

Add to that the time he spent at Lamar as a student-athlete and as an assistant coach, and you have a man who is in his third decade of representing the Cardinals' track and field program with pride and distinction.
In 10 seasons, he has coached 17 NCAA Championship appearances, 44 Southland Conference champions and seven SLC team titles.
In the fall of 2006, Clark guided the women's cross country team to a Southland Conference-record third consecutive championship. In the fall of 2009, the Lamar men's team won its fourth straight SLC crown, giving Lamar seven titles in the past six years. The Lamar men have won nine championships, the most in conference history.
Clark helped Yamelis Ortiz on her path to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Ortiz, who completed her brilliant career at Lamar by winning four straight conference titles on the 400-meter hurdles, was a member of Puerto Rico's 4x400-meter relay team in the Olympics.
Clark, who has USATF Level 2 coaching certification in sprints, hurdles, jumps and relays, is a Level 1 instructor.
A 1988 graduate of Anahuac High School, Clark, earned his bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Lamar in 1993 and his master's degree in kinesiology from Lamar in 1995. He became a full-time assistant for the Cardinals in 1995 after spending the previous season as a part-time coach. He was named the head track and field coach on Aug. 11, 1999, replacing Barry Collins, who had spent eight years in the position.
Clark has helped Lamar student-athletes set 21 school records. His guidance helped former Lamar standout Mark LeDoux compete twice in the United States Track and Field Nationals. He has coached four USATF Junior Nationals qualifiers as well.
During his tenure as an assistant at Lamar, Clark coached two of the stronger parts of the Cardinals' track program, relays and hurdles. Clark guided the 4x100-meter relay team to the 1999 Southland Conference title, and guided LeDoux to three consecutive conference titles in the 400-meter hurdles and a 12th-place finish at the 2000 NCAA Championships.
Clark, a four-year letterwinner for the Cardinals, was an
all-conference performer during his time as a student-athlete. He was among the eight finalists for the 1993 Lamar Outstanding Male Student Award and won the Sun Belt Conference Medallion for that year. Clark was also named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner's List and Athletic Director's List during his academic career.
Clark is married to the former Laura Hughes. They are the proud parents of two sons, Quade and Hayden. The family resides in nearby Orangefield, Texas.

iQor US, Inc. announces expansion of Dorchester County facility
iQor US, Inc., a global provider of business process outsourcing and product support services, is expanding its Dorchester County call center, Gov. Nikki Haleys office announced Thursday.
The $391,500 investment is expected to create more than 320 new jobs, according to the announcement.
North Charleston has consistently been a highly successful operation for many years, and so it was an easy decision to expand our presence and create jobs in this market, Mason Argiropoulos, iQORs Chief Human Resources Office, said. We have every confidence that the highly-skilled Low Country area labor market can provide the talented individuals required to handle the complex transactions inherent to the servicing of our top-of-industry clients.
The company, which provides after market product and customer support solutions, expects to employ more than 700 people at its facility on Dorchester Road by the end of the year, iQor officials said. iQor currently employs more than 32,000 people worldwide.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved a $50,000 set aside grant for real property improvements related to the project.
Local officials were pleased with the announcement.
In 2007, iQor chose to expand their global operations here in Dorchester County, and we are pleased to see their continued success, Dorchester County Council Chairman Bill Hearn said. We are happy they are investing in Dorchester County once again, and we look forward to our continued partnership with iQor.
North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey agreed, noting that the announcement is a strong endorsement of the North Charleston and Dorchester County business environment.
We applaud iQors success and are thankful for the capital investment and job creation that will benefit our community, Summey said. We commit to maintaining a local environment that is friendly to commerce and accommodating to the needs of all of our North Charleston businesses.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Registered Sanitarian Exam Study Course AvailablePosted Feb. 1, 2013
Finishing touches are being placed on a new, fully online preparation course for those desiring to take the Ohio State Board of Sanitarian Registration exam.
Development of the course was led by Charles "Chuck" Hart, MA '80, Ph.D., associate professor, Environmental Health. He recently was appointed by Ohio Gov. John Kasich to the State Board of Sanitarian Registration. "It's a very difficult board exam, and continuing education will make it easier to pass the first time," explains Hart. "Some in environmental health have a science background, but they lack the specific environmental health knowledge that our continuing education course addresses," he says. "In addition, some are working in a particular branch of the field, such as food inspection, but need to learn about sewage, waste and hazardous materials for the exam."
The course has three parts. The first is an introduction to environmental health and safety, with taped lectures and videos, modeled after the college's entry-level course in environmental health science. Part two of the prep course is a compilation of learning resources, including lists of books, videos by topic, regulatory agency information, dictionaries, calculators and web-based tools for additional study. The third part of the course is a practice self-testing function, with a selection of quizzes by topic and with questions in the same proportion as the actual test.
Last fall, the college invited three Ohio registered sanitarians working for community partners to pilot the course and provide feedback, including Patty McConnell, AA '81, BS '83, sanitarian II/emergency planning coordinator for Canton City Health Department; Kyle McLeod, sanitarian in the Food Protection Program, Division of Environmental Health, Columbus Public Health; and Sam Rubens, administrator, Akron Regional Air Quality Management District, Summit County Public Health.
"The course is a huge step," says McConnell, who passed the registered sanitarian exam in 2012. "There are not a lot of tools available for preparation. I think it's a great study guide – a compass, actually," she adds. Recent college graduate McLeod agrees that the course is very valuable and remarks on the ease of access. "I wish I had the course when I was studying for my 2011 exam," he observes. Rubens took the test in 2012, as new job duties require him to supervise sanitarians. "The field is so broad, which is what makes the test so difficult," he explains. "The course gives you an overview of what to expect and does a great job of capturing the essence of the test. The resources in part two are a must, so you can investigate areas you don't know as much about," he says.
"Our community partners urged us to offer this course, because they would like their employees to pass the test as quickly as possible and reduce failure rates," Hart says. "Professionals working as sanitarians can have a hard time balancing their schedules to accommodate a face-to-face class," he observes. "This online continuing education course is cost-effective and can be completed at an individual pace. You don't have to be away from work or family, and there are no travel expenses," he says.

Off court success is just as important as on court success for Jackrabbit Tennis. Our staff and players realize the importance of academics and have alumni who have graduated in multiple fields such as pharmacy, engineering, economics, psychology, and pre-medicine. Last season, 6 out 8 players made the commissioners list of academic excellence and achieved the Summit League team academic achievement award. Academics is not a recent success for Jackrabbit tennis, as the men's program consistently holds a team GPA above 3.4. Our staff ensures you will not only leave SDSU a better tennis player, but a person who is ready to be successful in all aspects of life.
The tennis coaching staff at SDSU all believe in getting the full potential out of every player that wears the Jackrabbit Tennis uniform. There is not a day that goes by where we do not get better on and off the court. Being a relatively new coaching staff, we believe we have out the pieces together to be a very successful program in the years to come. We are not afraid of hard work and going the extra mile to ensure our players maximize their potential. This "think win" mentality is going to get us to the next level and help our players achieve their goals after graduation.
The Jackrabbit Tennis program is on the rise. With a new coaching staff last year, we have made it clear we want to be an elite team in the Summit League and in the NCAA. We have set high goals for our tennis program, and work hard every day to achieve these goals. We are establishing a fresh, successful tradition that is going to stay with the tennis program for many years to come. Our staff believes in this new tradition, our players believe in this new tradition, and our athletic department believes in this new tradition. There is not a better time to become a member of the Jackrabbit Tennis family!

Data drives everything. Make sure it's right.
Take a look inside any successful organization and you'll likely discover data management technology powering every process. It's that critical. But not every solution is created the same. SAS® Data Management is based on data quality. Built on a unified platform. Designed with IT and business collaboration in mind. And ready to help you transform big data into big opportunity.

Data Integration
Embrace efficiency. Speed integration processes by up to 66%.
The right data integration solution helps you address today's data problems while giving you a plan for the future. With data integration from SAS, you can:
- Boost productivity. Get more mileage from existing resources – and increase your productivity – by working from a single point of control. You'll quickly and easily access the data you need.
- Share more of the workload. An intuitive interface means you can entrust data to business users, giving them more control so you can get back to your own tasks at hand.
- Be confident your data is ready for action. Auditing tools that monitor processing and source data lineage let you know your data is primed and prepared for the next step.
- Data management expertise. We've been in the data business for decades, so we know everything there is to know about data management and integration. Plus, Gartner positioned SAS in the Leaders Quadrant for data integration.
- Truly integrated technology. Instead of cobbling together bits and pieces to create a patchwork solution, we've built our data management technology from the ground up. It's seamless. Reliable. And ready to take on your biggest initiatives.
- Big data for all. Access Hadoop and big data sources fast. Turn big data into a valuable part of your data integration strategy.
Data Quality
Achieve better, cleaner data. Regardless of volume.
Brilliance isn't based on bad data. For your organization to succeed, you need to create a culture where data quality is valued – which means partnering with a company that makes it a top priority. With SAS, you can:
- Improve data quality where your data resides. There's no need to extract or move data to clean it. Instead, SAS profiles, standardizes, monitors and verifies your data where it exists. The benefit? A significantly faster, more secure process.
- Establish unprecedented levels of data quality to support business processes. A recent report found that up to 40 percent of business initiatives fail due to data quality. So when it comes to performing tasks – from managing big data to preparing for analytics – you need to trust the data driving your organization.
- Manage your entire data quality life cycle. With data constantly flowing in and out of your business, we help you establish repeatable processes so you can build and maintain high-quality data.
- Jobs done faster – with fewer risks. Keep your system intact and bring data quality to the data instead of the other way around. You'll work faster and more efficiently, without jeopardizing your information.
- Ability to share the workload. Data quality is everyone's concern – from data stewards to business execs. So we've created a system that's intuitive and built for both business and IT users.
- Data quality at the forefront. It's the core of our business, and the basis for our solid reputation. In fact, Gartner positioned SAS in the Leaders Quadrant for Data Quality Tools.
Data Governance
Prevent problems before they happen.
Your business, your rules. SAS technology helps you enforce policies so you can trust your data without micromanaging it. Plus, our services help you maintain those policies over the long term. With SAS, you can:
- Establish guidelines and permissions. You'll know who's doing what with your business information, and you can control who accesses your data down to the most granular level.
- Stop problems that could plague your system. The ability to intercept issues often means the difference between business-as-usual and complete chaos. We help you flag issues – and then fix them.
- Make sure everyone's on the same page. Our business glossary lets you create a repository of terms and their definitions that can be applied across any system. It's one of the first steps toward team collaboration, establishing standard definitions and giving context to your data.
- An investment in technology – and expertise. Data governance is as much about processes – and the services that support them – as it is about technology. Our experts understand that better than anyone. We'll help you set goals, establish guidelines and work in a way that benefits your business.
- Setting the stage for future initiatives. There's nothing better than building on success. And when you have a solid data governance solution in place, it paves the road for your next big goal. Establishing trust in your data makes anything possible.
- Business glossary promotes collaboration. Not only can you set standard definitions for your organization, you'll also integrate workflow and flag issues before they cause bigger problems.
Master Data Management
A complete, customized solution. Up and running in a matter of months.
When it comes to master data management (MDM), your team is as important as your technology – because MDM requires smart planning. To succeed, you need experts who can help you make the right decisions that will carry your business far into the future. With SAS, you can:
- Create a road map based on your specific needs. A large, monolithic one-size-fits-all approach gets you nowhere. We spend time understanding your organization so your solution solves the problems you need it to solve.
- Implement new technology that works with your existing system. No reason to rip and replace. SAS works with the systems you already have, saving you time and money. Plus it grows as your business grows.
- Achieve faster time to value. Not only do you get a powerful, customized MDM solution, you also can get it up and running quickly for faster ROI. That's because we lay the groundwork first, helping you build a solution that meets your needs.
- Experts who are the best in the business. SAS consultants are your ultimate resource when it comes to setting up an MDM program. They'll work to understand your business, then create a road map to get you started. And with a governance program, you'll continue your success well into the future.
- Big impact for your investment. Unlike other players in the industry, our goal is to set you up for long-term success. We'll help you determine whether you need MDM on a small or large scale, and then we'll work with your existing system to make it happen.
- One platform, one approach – built on data quality. When it comes to your MDM program, you don't need a solution that's been cobbled together – you want one built from the ground up. That's what you get from SAS. One solid solution, based on data quality.
Data Federation
Control access to information. Boost security without moving data.
Get consistent, centralized and better-governed data without having to move it. SAS eases the burden of managing disparate data by enabling you to:
- Achieve a clear, virtual view of your data. A virtual business view lets you reference data where it's actively used and maintained: its source.
- Control who sees – and manipulates – your data. We don't just accomplish this on a basic level. With SAS, you can set parameters – down to the row level – specifying who has access to what information.
- Get consistent, documented data access. Unify and standardize data access across multiple, heterogeneous systems from a single connection.
- Unparalleled data security. Sensitive data deserves the ultimate safeguards. With SAS, you determine who sees what data – and get as granular as necessary.
- Easy access to data. Your data can be both highly secure and easy to access. Retrieve data quickly from underlying sources through a virtual view.
- Technology that works with your existing systems. SAS is technology neutral, which means our solutions don't require you to invest in a yet another set of specialized systems. Use this flexibility to get up and running even faster.
The IT environment is changing, and corporate IT must change with it. See what Harvard Business Review says about the broadening roles of CIOs and corporate IT in this new era of cloud computing, big data, mobile technology and more.
What People Are Saying
See how a single, cohesive data management strategy can help you build a foundation for precise analytics and better decision making.
"SAS gave us a data warehouse that could consolidate our information. It had the analytical strength for sophisticated modeling, and it had a good reporting system with graphics that can be viewed via Web-based dashboards."
