Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Receive $166,500 for Brownfields Redevelopment Planning
Release Date: 04/25/2013
Contact Information: Belinda Young, 913-551-7463, firstname.lastname@example.com
Environmental News
(Lenexa, Kan., April 25, 2013) - The City of Council Bluffs, Iowa, will receive $166,500 to develop a plan for brownfields property assessment, cleanup and reuse in its mid-city area, EPA Region 7 announced today. Council Bluffs will use this funding to create a plan and implementation strategy for a project area totaling approximately 70 acres. The City is one of 20 communities nationwide to receive this funding.
EPA's Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Program provides grant funding and technical assistance to brownfields communities like Council Bluffs that are selected through a national grant competition. These communities use EPA resources to research area-wide planning approaches that will help them clean up and reuse brownfields properties.
Brownfields are defined as those properties whose expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Brownfields sites include all "real property," including residential, commercial and industrial properties. It is estimated that there are more than 450,000 brownfields in the U.S. Cleaning up and reinvesting in these properties increases local tax bases, facilitates job growth, utilizes existing infrastructure, takes development pressures off of undeveloped, open land, and both improves and protects the environment.
Council Bluffs has identified the former Katelman Foundry as the catalyst site for redevelopment within its mid-city urban renewal area. This former steel fabrication facility filed for bankruptcy in 2005, and moved its operations out of the neighborhood. The approximately 3.8-acre site presently consists of eight parcels spanning several city blocks.
Many industrial businesses that once operated in Council Bluffs' mid-city area have either closed or moved to areas more conducive to manufacturing operations. This has resulted in numerous properties exhibiting signs of disinvestment and a general lack of maintenance.
EPA's Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Program assists communities in responding to local brownfields challenges, particularly where multiple brownfield sites are in close proximity, connected by infrastructure, and where such properties may be limiting the economic, environmental and social prosperity of their surroundings. This program is part of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities collaboration involving EPA, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Students spend spring break in missions endeavors
PLAINVIEW – While some college students spent their Spring Break on vacation or lounging at home, several Wayland Baptist University students chose to spend their week in ministry.
A dozen students and three sponsors headed for storm-ravaged areas of New Orleans, specifically working for the week in Kenner, La. Another nine students and two sponsors headed for the shores of South Padre Island for the annual Beach Reach effort.
In the New Orleans area, the group worked on homes and businesses damaged in Hurricane Katrina and the flood aftermath, removing furniture and old sheetrock from homes that were salvageable, in preparation for other crews that will repair the homes. Working with a youth group from Weatherford, they also cleaned out a strip mall that had stood in nine feet of water for months.
Students shared an amazement of the devastation caused by the storm and the evidence still remaining. Homes marked with numbers indicating the dead found inside struck the coeds.
"Six months later, you'd think there would be some sense of normalcy, but that's not the case," said Joe Hoyle, as sophomore from Perryton. "I've never seen devastation like that in my life. The flood damage in this whole community is just amazing. I'm sure New Orleans will never be the same.
"God has really given me a heart for the people of New Orleans, and my heart goes out to those who were affected."
Though the working conditions were sticky, dirty and foul-smelling at best, the students agreed the trip was an amazing experience and they got to see God at work.
"We were working at one house and the lady introduced us to a mailman who was known as a local hero," said Molly Flowers, a freshman from Amarillo. "He lived on a boat and had used his boat to rescue more than 600 people trapped in their homes. But he didn't really take any credit, just said that God had helped him. That really encouraged me."
Another student, freshman Zach Hawkins of Burkburnett, was able to share the gospel to a family of drug addicts and saw them rededicate their lives to Christ. The experience was powerful for him.
"You never know how you can change someone just by talking to them," he said.
Senior Hugh Ellis of Lovington, N.M. said he was impressed by the outpouring of love and support that faith-based organizations have provided to the storm-ravaged region.
"What struck me was the contrast of the unity within the religious organizations there helping and the backbiting and finger-pointing in the secular world," he said. "The Wayland group was always hard at work and never grumbling or complaining. They really lived out true Christianity – loving each other and taking care of each other."
Meanwhile, in South Padre, the Wayland group was part of a 300-student brigade spending their week ministering to their peers in the Spring Break party scene on the beach. The group cleaned beaches, witnessed to students, served free pancake breakfasts at an island church and manned free van rides to hotels, bars and restaurants, sharing the gospel during each ride.
Though the assignment was not easy for anyone, the group said God was working mightily thanks to a strong emphasis on prayer.
"At Beach Reach, I learned the power of prayer. We were on our knees before the Lord all day long, and He answered our prayers. He used us to do His will," said freshman Sarah Ketchem of Lubbock. "Getting to share with someone how much Christ loves them and what He did for them on the cross, gives me more joy than absolutely anything else in this life."
Ketchem and others said a series of huge sand sculptures – carved by a man from Maryland who makes the trip annually at his own expense – served as valuable conversation starters for sharing the gospel.
"I was standing near one that was a large picture of Christ's face and I asked this girl what she thought of it," Ketchem recalled. "She told me, 'I came here to get away from Him and He's still here.' I got to really visit with her about her relationship with God and we exchanged email addresses so we can keep each other accountable."
Nick Pruitt, a junior from Mineola, said the trip helped him grow spiritually as well, and one experience in particular reminded him that God was in control.
"We were on the last van ride of the night, about 3 a.m., and this one guy stayed in the van for a long time talking with Donnie (Brown, BSM director) about God. The next day, he shows up in the prayer chapel and we got to visit some more. They're not even supposed to let people in there, so I know it was a God thing," Pruitt said.
"We challenged him that either Christ is Lord of your life or drugs are lord of your life, and he left with a lot to think about."
Joe Perez, a sophomore from Panhandle, echoed the value of prayer on the trip.
"To see how prayer fuels the entire week at Beach Reach was awesome," he said. "You think sometimes that people aren't listening when you share the gospel but they are. We took advantage of every opportunity, and God used everything we did that week."
Donnie Brown, director of Baptist Student Ministries at Wayland and a sponsor on the Beach Reach trip, admitted that the week took him out of his comfort zone, but he got to see God work in the lives of young people. He applauded the work students did during the week normally reserved for playtime.
"Did the Lord save 30,000 spring breakers? Probably not. We don't know how many accepted Christ, but we know that seeds were planted and students were obedient to the cause of Christ," he said.
Brown encouraged students to live a life of integrity in everything they do, pointing out a lesson he learned while at Beach Reach.
"The majority of the people on our vans said they were Christians but were 'taking a break,'" he said.

Non Flashable HD-HG300
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
- Because of a perceived increase in bricked HD-HG300's at a certain point in time, some people came up with the theory that there is a series of HD-HG300 LinkStations out there which are somehow inherently broken and can't be flashed. This is a theory, there is no proof of this. The thought is that some series of the 300 gigabyte HG Linkstations will always be bricked if you attempt to flash them with OpenLink or FreeLink, because these are thought to be defective. Kuroguy has revived one of these bricked boxes via JTAG, so if you brick your box, all is not lost. The serial numbers below are not number ranges, they are single serial numbers where the last three digits have been anonymised.
- The theory says you have have one of these LinkStations if your Serial Number is below:
- 15803350910xxxx
- 45803351010xxxx
- 45803351011xxxx
- 458011650810xxx
- 458011650910xxx
- 458011650911xxx
- 45801650910xxx
There is a significant amount of controversy with regards to whether a Non-Flashable LinkStation even exists. Please post your thoughts on the talk page Talk:Non Flashable HD-HG300 or in the forum.
Current State
- You may have problems flashing these HD-HG300 LinkStations with custom firmwares OpenLink and FreeLink.
- You always are able to install FreeLink/OpenLink to a LS1/LS2/HG if you pull out the HDD and manually flash the LinkStation's firmware by connecting it to a workstation running Linux and untarring the tmpimage.tgz which is stored inside the image.dat of all firmwares.
Future Plan
- UBoot is able to load a kernel from /boot on /dev/hda1, so you won`t desperately need a telnet + ftp-enabled firmimg.bin to upgrade the kernel in flash.

Experience Tasmania's World Heritage wilderness, great food and wine, compact cities and clean air. Hobart is gateway to historic Port Arthur, the wildlife of Bruny Island and Maria Island, and breathtaking Wineglass Bay in Freycinet. From Launceston or Devonport, discover Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Liffey Falls and Flinders Island in Bass Strait. Discover Tasmania's wild west coast via Strahan.
What you can see in Tasmania
Explore the wilderness of 17 National Parks, pristine coastlines of the East Coast, and welcoming regional towns. Visit Hobart, coastal islands and convict sites.
Uncover Hobart's food, wine, and eclectic creativity at the galleries, bars and restaurants of MONA. Relax, eat and visit the weekend markets at the convict-built harbour and sandstone Salamanca Place. Visit Hobart's oldest suburb of Battery Point, climb Mount Wellington, and join celebrations for the Taste Tasmania festival and Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Hobart offers access to Richmond, Kettering, Bruny Island, Wineglass Bay and Tasmania's national parks.
Wineglass Bay
Wineglass Bay, on Tasmania's Freycinet Peninsula, is considered one of the top ten beaches in the world. This flawless crescent of dazzling white sand and sapphire-coloured sea set against pink and grey granite peaks is one of Australia's most beautiful natural environments. It's the perfect location for fishing, sailing, bushwalking, sea kayaking, rock-climbing, or simply soaking up the spectacular coastal scenery. Wineglass Bay has become a favourite honeymoon destination for couples to escape and relax away from the rest of the world. With secluded sandy beaches, luxurious eco-lodges, and fine Tasmanian cuisine, Freycinet Peninsula is an adventure of pure indulgence.
Tasmania's Winter Secrets
The air may be crisp, but in Tasmania, winter definitely doesn't put a freeze on activities. Celebrate the solstice in Hobart or ski in Ben Lomond National Park. Trek the snow-coated highlands of Cradle Mountain or snuggle fireside in a lodge in Wineglass Bay. Whatever you do, don't miss this special window on Tasmania's rugged natural beauty.
Experience the beauty of Freycinet Peninsula, a paradise of pink granite mountains, white beaches and turquoise sea on Tasmania's east coast. Hike over the Hazard Ranges for breathtaking views of Wineglass Bay. Go surfing, sea kayak with dolphins, 4WD to a historic lighthouse and enjoy freshly-shucked oysters overlooking Great Oyster Bay. Wind here from Hobart on the East Coast Escape.
Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park
You'll feel a million miles from modern life when you glimpse the jagged dolerite peaks of Cradle Mountain across the mirrored waters of Dove Lake. It's a wilderness vision that draws travelers to World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park time and time again.
Launceston, Devonport and Burnie
The compact, picturesque Tasmanian cities of Launceston, Devonport and Burnie have lots to delight travellers. Discover restaurants, galleries, parklands and historic streetscapes, meet the friendly locals and explore the surrounding attractions. In Tasmania's north lies Launceston, home to a thriving cultural scene and the wilderness of Cataract Gorge. Along the island's rugged north-west coast you can explore the pretty port of Devonport and the lively seaside city of Burnie.
Port Arthur
If Prison Break was set in mid-19th century Australia, Tasmania's Port Arthur historic site on the Tasman Peninsula would surely be the location. Separated from Tasmania by a narrow neck of land surrounded by shark-infested waters, Port Arthur was sold as the 'inescapable prison'. But unlike today's camera surveillance, guards and half-starved hounds guarded the only way out.
Tasmanian Wilderness
Step into the ancient beauty of Tasmania's World Heritage wilderness and national parks. From Hobart, discover Bruny Island's wildlife and walking trails and drive the East Coast Escape to Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park. Launceston is your base for the Overland Track through Cradle-Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, and the untamed rivers and rapids of the west coast.
Salamanca Place
When in Hobart, make sure you visit Salamanca Place in Sullivans Cove, the city's bustling, waterfront heart. Life here in the 1830s was all about industry, but today this picturesque cobblestone square is a destination for food, art, shopping and music. Wander the galleries and relax under the sun umbrellas. Shop for fine Tasmanian craft in the Salamanca Markets and dance outdoors in the courtyard of the Salamanca Arts Centre. Here Hobart's cultural life meets its rich history.
Tasmania's Wild West Coast
On the west coast of Tasmania, unlimited adventure is the natural way to holiday. Base yourself in the scenic, edge-of-the-world fishing town of Strahan. Then white-water raft the pristine and untamed Franklin River rapids or cruise or kayak down the tranquil Gordon River. Hike past thousand-year-old Huon pines in one of the world's last temperate rainforests. Soar over the wilderness in a helicopter, take an historic train from Queenstown or sail across Macquarie Harbour. This area also has a rich, layered human story - of convicts, pioneers, loggers, miners and more recently, environmental activists.
Bass Strait Escape
Swap mainland stress for the clean air, empty beaches, historic shipwrecks and rich wildlife on Tasmania's Flinders and King Islands.
Tasmania's blooming gardens
Visit Tasmania from September to November, when blooming gardens provide a backdrop to breathtaking scenery and historic attractions. Embrace dozens of cultures and hundreds of tulips at Hobart's Spring Tulip Festival and wander the grand gardens in Huonville and Richmond. See elms and oaks planted by convicts in Port Arthur. Do the daffodil walk in Launceston's Cataract Gorge and skip between the gorgeous gardens of Tasmania's north-east. Join the tulip festivities in Wynyard and bushwalk past tulips on Table Cape.
Bruny Island
Invigorate your soul on wild Bruny Island, which sits in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, a short drive and ferry ride from Hobart. Go walking to discover the rocky coastline, quiet beaches, tall forests, roaring surf and gentle green hills. Spot abundant wildlife, from wombats and wallabies to little penguins, on a tour or eco-cruise. Hunt down history, stock up on gourmet produce and stay in boutique accommodation amongst the wilderness.
Tasmania's Tranquil Liffey Falls
Prepare for total tranquillity at Liffey Falls, which sit nestled in Tasmania's Great Western Tiers about an hour's drive from Launceston and 90 minutes from Devonport. There are few settings more peaceful than here, in this World Heritage-listed rainforest, where you listen to bird song and watch water cascade over sandstone. Follow the enchanting nature trail to Liffey Falls or spend a relaxing afternoon in the fern-fringed picnic area. Just nearby, you can explore the quaint craft-loving village of Deloraine and the limestone caves of Mole Creek Karst National Park.
A Tasmanian Holiday to Remember
'There's nothing like a sunset experience with good friends, each personality as different as the sea, sun and sand but together, a lasting memory to be cherished.'
Tasman National Park
'There's nothing like being alone amid such stunning rugged coastline in Tasmania.'

Deceased former Chesterfield MP Tony Benn is to spend his last night in Parliament after it has been agreed for his body to be laid to rest in the Palace of Westminster.
The popular left-wing, Labour politician passed away on Friday, March 14, after a long illness and his demise triggered an avalanche of tributes from well-wishers.
A vigil will be kept by Commons Speaker John Bercow's chaplain beside the coffin in the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft during the night before the Labour politician's funeral, on March 27.
The honour has only previously been afforded to one politician, and that was for former prime minister Baroness Thatcher.
However, Tony Benn will not have a ceremonial funeral as she did.
Mr Bercow said: "Tony Benn's time as an MP spanned more than 50 years and he is one of only two MPs to be awarded the freedom of the House - the other being Edward Heath - in recognition of his very long and distinguished service as an MP.
"It is this almost unique distinction which forms the basis for Tony Benn to be accorded the privilege to 'rest' in the chapel on the eve of his funeral."
The funeral will take place opposite Parliament at St Margaret's Church.
The Speaker's chaplain, the Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin, will keep a vigil and there will be a private family gathering for the ex-cabinet minister.
A family spokesman said: "The family were deeply touched by the Speaker's suggestion and would like to thank all those who have made it possible for their father to spend his last night in Parliament."
David Cameron and Ed Miliband delivered formal tributes to Mr Benn in the Commons, the Labour leader describing him as "an iconic figure of our age".
MPs will discuss his life and legacy in a debate led by Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg today.

Department of Revenue News Release
August 13, 2009Management Contracts Awarded for License Offices in Buffalo, Butler, Mountain Grove, Nevada & Richmond
JEFFERSON CITY - Five more local motor vehicle/license offices were awarded today under Gov. Jay Nixon's new system through which the best proposals are selected by the Missouri Department of Revenue after any interested person or group is allowed to bid on the offices.
The offices awarded today are in Buffalo, Butler, Mountain Grove, Nevada and Richmond. This brings to 58 the total number of offices granted under the new system.
The Buffalo License Office has been awarded to Scott Baker of Buffalo. Baker has been the office's contract agent since 2005. The office will remain at 945 W. Dallas St.
Blen Enterprises, LLC, associated with Marli Klumb of Butler, has been awarded the right to operate the license office in Butler. The company is a new agent for the office, which will remain at 1 N. Delaware St.
Britney Michel, doing business as Mountain Grove License Office, has been chosen to operate the license office in Mountain Grove. Michel, of Mountain Grove, has been the incumbent agent since 2008. The office will stay at its current location of 807 N. Main St., Suite 5.
Alternative Opportunities Inc., a not-for-profit corporation based in Springfield, is the new agent for the Nevada License Office. The Nevada office, which will move to a new location at 429 E. Walnut St., has been closed since July 30 due to the voluntary retirement of the previous agent.
The Lexington Area Chamber of Commerce is the new agent for the Richmond License Office. The chamber also currently operates the Lexington License Office. The Richmond office will stay at its current location of 904 E. South St.
Details about any changes in office operations, if any, will be announced by the agents.
The five offices awarded today are the latest to have their management chosen using a comprehensive bidding process that was implemented when Gov. Nixon took office on Jan. 12. The process calls for people or groups to submit detailed bids to obtain the management contracts to operate the offices. The Buffalo License Office received one bid; Butler, Mountain Grove and Richmond received two bids; and Nevada received four bids.
This new process was codified in state law when Gov. Nixon signed legislation on July 1 that made the new system a permanent part of state law. The bill endorsing the change passed with overwhelming bipartisan majorities in the Missouri Senate and House.
"In the past, politics was usually the main consideration when awarding local license offices," Gov. Nixon said. "Now, customer service and efficiency of operations are the most important criteria, and politics is not considered at all. That is a vast change from the past, and it is a change that has been long overdue."
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, acting director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, also noted the openness of the new bidding process.
"The new system is open, honest and transparent," she said. "Any interested person or group is now able to bid to run an office. In addition, once a winning bid is selected, the evaluation sheets for both the winning and losing bids are open for public inspection."
Some winning bidders have chosen to return part of their estimated office revenues to the state. The Buffalo License Office will return one-half of 1 percent ($502) of its first-year revenues, Butler will return 3 percent ($3,021), Mountain Grove will return one-half of 1 percent ($433), Nevada will return 5 percent ($6,649), and Richmond will return 3 percent ($2,690). The cumulative amount of estimated funds that will be returned to the state in the first contract year from the 58 license offices that have been awarded so far is $376,910.
"The willingness of agents to return some of their revenues is a great cost-efficiency measure for the state, and the amount returned to the state will undoubtedly grow as more bids are awarded," Barragán-Scott said. "This money, once kept as profits by office operators, will now be able to be used for a variety of vital state services."
Of the 183 license offices, 58 have been awarded and the bidding time has closed for another 83. For a list of winning bidders for license offices, please go to http://oa.mo.gov/purch/awardedfeeoffices.pdf.
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Missouri Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, applying for titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.
Additional information on the bids will be posted by the Missouri Office of Administration within the next few days.

A back to the future approach to hip surgery has patients going home a lot faster.
The modified Smith-Peterson allows surgeons to reach the joint from the front of the hip as opposed to the side or back.
Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Michael McCormick says "It's done through a little incision right by the hip in the front --keeps from having the incision in the back where you have to sit on it.
But the biggest thing about it -- it avoids cutting any tendons, any muscles, any nerves so recovery is dramatic."
Surgeons also have a new tool to help get the thigh in line which helps reduce the risk of dislocation after surgery.
It's called a Hannah table.
Dr. McCormick describes it as "a specially designed fracture table with special instruments applied to it. It allows you to move the leg around like you need to. Allows you to put traction on the leg and to put it in positions where we can get to the cup side. But it also has a special elevator that when we go to do the thigh bone it allows us to elevate the thigh bone--something we've lacked in the past."
One of the biggest fears for patients is how long they'll be laid up.
Dr. McCormick says "a lot of them don't require therapy.
Some do, everyone is different, but a lot of them can just go and that's what we like.. It's really rewarding for me to see a patient a day after surgery to walk out of here no crutches, no walker.. It's just amazing."
Dr. McCormick adds for the surgeon it's a little more difficult than the standard approaches and it takes a little more time.. but it's definitely better for the patient.
Hip Replacement Goes Back To The Future

Well that was refreshing! I opened 24Ways with trepidation this morning expecting a monologue on how important asthetics, styles, fonts etc were to creating a successful website. Instead I've just read one of the best doses of realism I think I've ever come across on this topic. Kudos for telling it how it is. Design doesn't always matter and there's too many designers and agencies who'd have you believe it's the most important part of a web build (generally because they haven't taken any time to think like the client or the users). Rather the creation of an interface which delivers the business objectives and meets the client/users needs is what really matters.
Great article Paul!

- What's Included
The Sensaphone 1800 provides a significant step up over the Sensaphone 800. While performing all of the functions of the 800, the 1800 not only makes voice phone calls, but can send text messages to cell phones and alphanumeric pagers and comes in a sealed, weatherproof, lockable enclosure, making it suitable for harsh or corrosive environments.
Voice phone calls are customized, so that users can hear each alarm described in detail and in their own voice. The 1800 is perfect for ultra-low freezer monitoring all the way down to -85° C. Also built into the 1800 is a system that identifies who responds to any alarm phone call, and tracks respondents with a history log.
Feature List
- Eight Zones configurable as temperature, 4-20mA or dry contact
- Calibration for each Zone
- Each Zone can be individually enabled or disabled
- Power monitor
- High sound-level monitor (w/optional external microphone)
- 1 relay output (manual or automatic control)
- 14 status LEDs
- Dial out to eight telephone numbers
- User-recordable voice messages
- Alarm dial out via voice, numeric pager and alphanumeric pager (wireless phone text message)
- Line Seizure via optional kit (FGD-0060)
- Microphone for on-site listen-in (w/optional external microphone)
- Time-stamped Alarm History
- Optional web page
- Superior surge/lightning protection on all Zones, telephone line and power supply
- 12-hour rechargeable battery backup
- NEMA 4X enclosure
NEMA 4X Enclosure
The unit comes in a plastic NEMA 4X enclosure with tabs for wall or panel mounting. Terminal connections for Zones, outputs and power are easily accessible from the front of the unit. The 1800 is powered by a plug-in adapter and has a 2.2AH rechargeable backup battery located behind the panel. Circuitry in the unit will maintain precise charging of the battery system. NEMA 4X industrial enclosures are used in many applications where an occasional wash down occurs or where machine tool cutter coolant is used. They also serve well in applications where a pressurized stream of water will be used. NEMA 4X enclosures are gasketed and the door is clamped for maximum sealing. They have continuous hinges, mounting feet, and padlock hasps.
Backup Battery
The Sensaphone 1800 includes a 12V 2.2AH sealed lead-acid gelcell rechargeable battery for system back-up in the event of a power failure. The battery will provide approximately 12 hours of backup time. Actual backup time will depend upon the temperature, battery age, and dialing activity. The battery is located behind the main
Line Seizure
Line seizure gives the 1800 the ability to "seize" the telephone line when it needs to dial out. For example, if an emergency occurs which puts the 1800 in alarm mode, the unit will be able to dial out even if a telephone has been left off the hook. To the right of the LINE terminals is another set of terminals labeled EXT. These terminals can be used to share the line with other devices (telephone, fax machine, modem) and to give the 1800 priority in the event of an emergency. To make use of this feature you must have all the extension devices originate from the EXT. terminals. Whenever the unit must make an alarm phone call, the unit will disconnect any current phone calls and seize the line for its own use. The unit will continue to seize the line until the alarm has been acknowledged.

Hard to uncover the real Tim Wanamaker
From City Hall wunderkind to City Hall thief to car salesman, Timothy E. Wanamaker's success story is as gripping as his downfall.
Adopted as a child, he never met his biological parents, and after his adoptive parents split up, according to Wanamaker's Buffalo attorney, he really didn't have much contact with his adoptive dad either. Eventually, he lost contact with his adoptive mother, too.
Still, Wanamaker put himself through college, got a master's degree, got married, had a daughter, began a career and by age 46, this economic development guru had gone from being a local economic development officer in Prince George's County, Md., to a $112,000-a-year deputy commissioner in the City of Alexandria, Va.
In between, of course, was the stint in Buffalo that landed him in court with a felony conviction for using federal anti-poverty money on some $30,000 in personal expenses.
After the fall, he stocked shelves at a KMart before his current job selling cars in Virginia.
Only Wanamaker can say what motivated him to steal anti-poverty money from the Buffalo agency he headed up, and he's not talking.
But there's been plenty of speculation in and around City Hall.
Was it greed? A need to impress? A momentary lapse that spiraled out of control? A sense of entitlement? Or was it just doing whatever he could get away with?
Over a year since Wanamaker's conviction and four months since he was sentenced to three years' probation, little more is known about why Wanamaker went from being City Hall wunderkind to resident thief.
But interviews with those who worked with Wanamaker in and out of City Hall, and court papers filed by his attorney, portray a self-confident bureaucrat who let his secret spending destroy a fast-moving career that was still on the rise.
"Tim was very good, but turned out he was also, unfortunately, a thief," said Richard M. Tobe, the current deputy Erie County executive who worked with Wanamaker in a previous job as a City of Buffalo department head.
"He shattered a very, very good career," Tobe said. "There's a big lesson here. You just can't tell about people. People can be more than one thing at a time."
Wanamaker was plucked out of the Prince George's County Redevelopment Authority in 2003 by former Mayor Anthony M. Masiello's search team.
"I've only made two visits to your city in my life, and I've already fallen in love with Buffalo," Wanamaker told Buffalo Common Council members prior to being hired.
"I love his energy and his enthusiasm," Masiello said at the time. "We need someone with new ideas."
From the beginning, Wanamaker was alternatively viewed as an ambitious opportunist using Buffalo as a stepping stone and a dedicated urban planner hoping to bring new economic development strategies to Buffalo.
He advocated targeted planning – spending larger amounts of money in fewer areas to try to make a difference rather than a scattershot approach across a larger swath of Buffalo. He was big on networking. He got the city to hire a lobbyist in Washington. He was big on staff training. He pushed his staff to attend out-of-state conferences. He attended conferences.
"When Tim came in he was a new face with new ideas, and an understanding of what was working in cities similar to Buffalo. That meant making some changes to how things were being done here and some of that wasn't going to be all that popular," said Michael Clarke, executive director of the Local Initiatives Support Corp., a group that works to bring affordable housing to Buffalo.
Some did like what Wanamaker was doing.
"I thought he did a good job," said North Council Member Joseph Golombek Jr. "I respected him. He did something the Council never heard before --- that was to say no."
"He was trying to look at bigger, long-term projects for the city, which meant not every Council district gets as much Block Grant as they had in the past," he said.
Others weren't impressed.
"I never liked him," said Fillmore Council Member David Franczyk. "He didn't look you in the eye. I don't think he had any curiosity or feeling for the city. He was just blathering bureaucratic nonsense."
His loner-type of personality didn't help.
"He was not a warm and fuzzy kind of guy," Golembek said.
Stiil, Wanamaker was often effective, Tobe said.
Wanamaker, Tobe said, specialized in housing and neighborhood development. He helped with the development of Sycamore Village, an expensive but nonetheless successful upscale housing development on the city's East Side. He worked with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to get several key, stalled projects back on track. He enabled Buffalo to retain HUD funds that were in jeopardy. And except, of course, for his own illegal spending, Wanamaker is credited with helping Buffalo better adhere to HUD spending guidelines.
But Wanamaker nonetheless found it difficult to get things done in Buffalo, attorney James P. Harrington wrote in his pre-sentencing memoradum to the court.
"He had no political connections in the city," Harrington said. "This proved to be a plus and a minus. While it was refreshing in local government to have someone hired from outside the area based on qualifications and with no preconceived biases, it was difficult to get things done in the entrenched political quagmire of Buffalo City Hall."
Things became more challenging when Masiello left office, and a new administration came in, Harrington said.
Wanamaker remained in his $94,300-a-year job when Byron W. Brown became mayor in 2006, but Wanamaker never felt part of Brown's inner circle, Harrington said.
"While this was good for his independence and relationships with many who wanted to do projects within the city, it was an impediment in the way that things actually get done here," Harrington said.
Some in and out of City Hall who knew Wanamaker speculated his out-of-state travel became more frequent as he became more frustrated with the Brown administration, and he therefore felt he should start making contacts to find a new job. Others disagreed, saying Wanamaker's focus during his travels was on promoting the City of Buffalo – not himself.
Regardless, the travel increased. And so did his Wanamaker's frustration with Buffalo.
"After a number of frustrating years, he moved on to a position in another city," Harrington wrote.
At that point, Wanamaker's was still a success story.
Wanamaker left Buffalo in March 2008 to become city administrator in Ingelwood, Calif., a city of just over 100,000 people in Los Angeles County.
The job proved to be a challenge.
After just less than two years there, Wanamaker abruptly resigned in March 2010. He then started a $112,000-a-year job in August 2010 as deputy director of general services for the City of Alexandria, Va., overseeing the city's fleet, mail room, real estate and general administration.
Wanamaker remained in that position until Dec. 2, 2011, when he resigned following his Nov. 30 guilty plea in federal court in Buffalo.
Just before Wanamaker was scheduled to be sentenced, Harrington, his Buffalo attorney, described the city's former economic development czar as a contrite man, ashamed for having stolen funds from Buffalo and having humiliated his family.
Wanamaker's crime, Harrington wrote, was a foolish act out of character for a normally quiet, contemplative man who had never been in trouble before, and has not been in trouble since.
"After Tim's plea and loss of his job, he was depressed and full of self-loathing for what he had done to himself and his family," Harrington wrote in the sentencing memo. "He lost his career in urban planning which he had worked so hard for in college, graduate school and previous jobs."
Wanamaker, Harrington said, also put his marriage in jeopardy, but his wife, Vena, has stood by her husband and is supporting him "like he supported her in her fight with breast cancer this past year."
Perhaps, Harrington wrote, "the truest measure of one's character is how he responds to adversity and picks himself up when down, especially from his own actions."
After his initial depression, Harrington said, Wanamaker recognized he had to pick himself up, and support his family.
In Janaury 2012, two months after Wanamaker's arrest, he took a job stocking selves at Kmart for $8.75 an hour. By the time he was sentenced in March, he was working as a car salesman.
"Tim swallowed his pride and started over," Harrington said. "He recognizes the dignity in all types of work."

Nuggets, Rockets meet again to complete home-and-home
HOUSTON -- The Denver Nuggets played so effectively while winning seven of nine games before Saturday night that it was easy to overlook the absence of forwards Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari when the Houston Rockets visited.
And while the Nuggets were strong until the end in a 109-105 loss to the Rockets at Pepsi Center, they certainly missed the contributions of Chandler and Gallinari in what turned into a riveting shootout between two of the top offenses in the NBA.
Houston, fueled by MVP candidate James Harden, operated at full throttle. The Rockets' healthy roster proved vital down the stretch.
"Nikola (Jokic) getting in foul trouble is tough enough, but when you couple that with no Wilson Chandler and no Gallo it makes it even more difficult," Denver coach Mike Malone said of his emerging center, who logged just 22 minutes and was saddled with five fouls.
"We did a lot of good things. Clean up the undisciplined errors we made and hopefully we'll get a different result when we play them down in Houston."
The Nuggets (33-36) and Rockets (48-22) will complete their home-and-home showdown on Monday night in Houston. The Rockets have claimed the first two meetings of the four-game season series, winning in Denver on each occasion and doing so twice on the back end of a back-to-back.
The Rockets improved to a remarkable 13-1 in the second game of back-to-backs this season.
Chandler (right groin contusion) and Gallinari (left knee) are questionable for the rematch. Denver is locked in a dogfight with the Portland Trail Blazers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West.
The Nuggets entered Sunday 29th in the league in defensive efficiency. Given its struggles on that end of the court and Houston's overwhelming ability to score at the rim and behind the 3-point arc, Denver can't afford to scuffle on offense.
"They made shots and we didn't," Jokic said. "They played really good in that last stretch and we didn't make shots."
The shots the Rockets normally make in victory -- 3-pointers -- didn't fall against the Nuggets, finishing just 5 of 24 from deep to post their first win this season when making less than 10 treys.
Harden helped their cause with his fourth consecutive triple-double and seventh 40-point triple-double this season, closing with 40 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. With Harden making 15 of 17 free throws, the Rockets finished 28 of 35 at the line.
"We have guys that are very adept to drawing fouls," Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni said. "They're smart players. I thought it was a great game, both sides. I thought they played well, everybody competed. Nobody was like sharp-shooting 3s and stuff, but we gutted it out and sometimes you have to do that."
The onus is on Denver to develop a superior plan of attack to manage Harden. While the Nuggets had success pressuring the Rockets on the perimeter, they allowed Harden access to the paint time and again. They can't surrender that unfettered penetration again unless they long for Harden to erupt once more.
"I mean that's a tough task for them, though," Rockets forward Ryan Anderson said of Denver bigs switching on Harden out on the perimeter. "We wanted to take advantage of what we can do, obviously. If they're going to switch, we're going to have James attack."


text: The Washington Demon baseball and softball teams are anticipating a strong plate presence this upcoming season thanks to a new hitting facility. This is the first off season the Washington Demon baseball and softball teams have had their hitting facility that sits in between the two fields at the junior high. Demon Softball Coach Angie Shrader says they were limited in what they could do in the off season prior to this year. The softball team had a six week hitting program and are still getting in the cage. Demon Baseball Coach Nathan Miller says the baseball team had a similar program where they created a game with a scoring system based on hit placement. Miller says they had teams of four competing in a regular season and then a post season tournament. He says one thing they've been doing is showing the kids some serious heat. While some pitching machines throw special balls for the hitting machine, one of their pitching machines can throw game baseballs, and Miller says they been cranking it up to around 85 mph. The facility was built last summer and early fall through efforts from the booster club and a grant from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation.

help please, about ghost bone, and ERC for clothing (fit to genesis figure)
I hope to change rig of Karuki dress for genesis with some ghost bone.
now,, the " front roin" and "back roin" of the dress has been weight mapped to both thigh bone rotation.
it is useful usually,,,, but there seems some problem,,.
if right (or left) thigh bend forward,, as if there is magnet,, the back roin(skirt?) stick to the thin bones and move foward too,,
so I hope,, when one of thigh bend foward,,only the forward roin move foward too, but back roin do not move.
and when one of thighs bend back, the foward roin stay there,, only back roin to back with thigh rotation.
then,, I planned to set two child ghost bones (parented plevis) F-mover and B-mover ,for both roin,
and weight map for ghost bones bend (of course I know,, it remove weight map from things ).
now Front roin (vertices) rotate with F-mover, Back roin vertices rotate with B-mover.
next,, I need to ERC for thigh bones x rotation and ghost bones x rotation.
if just set ERC to one mover and one thigh bone with same step value.it seems easy,,
but I hope to set ERC of both Thighs rotation to one mover,,
so need to think both Thighs negative and positive rotattion,,,
and compair both Thigh rotation value,then pick up bigger value,,,

I can understand, what I need ,, but how I set ERC for both side thigh bone X rotation,,
to count, compare value,,. if I can pick up the value , it seems easy to set ERC,,
so hope to know,, how to pick up the bigger value. and keep the value to rotate mover,,.
(now I may need not think about back-mover,, it is same,, if I can do about f-mover,,I can do it,,)
so I hope,, tips or hint ,, or if I need to edit duf or dsa to make this ERC,
where Can I get more information? of course it is not easy for me,, I know that,,
but I hope to move joint more free, so I may study,, if there is document,, what I need to start?
(of course some user may say, "you need not to set such original ERC, there is more easy way by morph or etc,,"
but I understand what I hope and why it need clearly, so not need other advices to rigging,,and known already how to make
symple ERC,, in ds 4.5,, (not edit code of file,,) but just hope to know ,and need help what I want to do,,)
or simply I hope,, if I can change "fit-to" bone to ghost bone when I need,,by one click button,
or toggle switch,, eg change" rThing" bone of dress, to" r-mover" when I need,,,
I think,, which we need to choose "fit-to" bone, or ghost bone about each vertices, and can not
change with flexiblity,,is weak points of new triax figure..
it limit to move (fit to)clothing free,,
If I understand you correctly, you need to use the weight map tool to paint the front and back separately to your new handles. This is going to cause stretching on the side areas, but if it's worth it to you, it's very doable.
The weight map tool looks like a paintbrush and is just to the right of the bone tool you have selected in your last picture. When you have a given bone selected, it shows the weight map for that bone; red=100%, blue=0%. Use a tool tab to look at settings.
It's better to set up face groups in a modeling program, assign to them automatically, and then smooth the edges, but if you are editing someone else's rig you probably can't do it this way.
mmm,,,Sickle Yield,, I know you are good vendor,,(actually I love your product,
because you make many morph for each produt, before I requested too^^;)
but I am not asking about how to weight map or how to smooth,, now,,, ^^;
of course I know,,, I need to assigne weight map for ghost bones, r-mover to front part, and l-mover to back part.
and it must remove weight for R-thin L-thin ,, but I understand that.
and it is not easy but I can,, just reform weight to smooth with each rig,,
after transfer and set frist rig,, i can do it ^^;
now my pic not finished . set-new rig for new movements. becaues, I hope more.
if I just hope manulaly ghost bones, and set figure poze,
it may need not keep r-thing bone and left thing bones. (about original for V4, there are just 4 gohst bones,
under hip, so it may need manually move,or with controller,though,, it can be more flexible to set poze what I hope,,
so now I think remain auto change rig which fit to genesis,
and apply manually movements with ghost bones,, if I want,,.,
but if I just apply ghost bones, and exchange it from r-things and left thigh,,
it can not auto-poze, when genesis move. so need ERC, and remain these two thigh bone,,
which fit to and move with genesis bone.
I hope,, you can undersatnd what I hope,, it is not how to weight map,,
simply how to rotate ghostbone with ERC,,
and if triax weight map for each rotation,, have two different map which can work,, eg only positive or negative rotation,
most of these problem are removed.
but as you know,, the colored vertices must follow when the joint (which has same name of clothing) of genesis move,
so genesis r-thing rig move buck, the vertices assigned r-thin of clothing must move buck^^;
it is usuall, but about this case, it must be strange.Post edited by kitakoredaz on
Thank you. :)
Looking at both posts I think MAYBE I understand now. I've never tried using the property editor ERC freeze that way, but logically it might work. You would have to experiment. Just don't save back to the library until or unless you have a result that you want.
The only thing is that to freeze the ERC to thigh movement, the garment itself must also have thigh bones - if they are deleted the procedure definitely won't work.
IF this is the kind of thing you want to try and IF you have a rig with both thigh bones and the extra pose bones, this is what you might try. Make sure the item is NOT conformed to Genesis when you do this or the ERC freeze may not work properly.
1. Pose the thigh where you want it for a given bone.
2. Pose the single handle that you want to freeze to the bone rotation.
3. Go to the property editor and the right panel.
4. Right-click and choose ERC Freeze.
5. Select the conforming item.
6. Select the left thigh node and Xrotate (or Zrotate if you are swinging it to the side instead of front or back).
7. Look at the list that comes up under that and see if the pose bone is in it.
8. If the pose bone is in it, select that.
9. Click Ok.
From here you would go to Parameters for the pose bone, click on the tiny symbol on the right, and set the limits so that it only bends when the thigh is forward. Then repeat with the other pose bones for when it is bent back or the other leg is bent, etc..
Hi thank you follow me,, and advice,,
then now I think you understand clearly what I hope ^^;
then ,, if I set front mover (whic x (bend) rotation assigned with frot roin,,) with r-thig and l-thigh,,
(as you said,, just ERC freeze for X rotation,,)
I am worry about,, it may double move,, when genesis rotate r-thigh and left-thigh,(,to same direction,, at same time.)
lets see please,, my case 1,and 3,
case1) lThigh bend Foward 30 (-30 Xrotation), rThigh rotate Foward 15 (-15 Xrotation)
>>>>> F-mover rotate -30 Xrotation. (simply because,, 30>15)
I worry about,, it may move the roin 30 plus 15,, I think.,,
not need worry?Post edited by kitakoredaz on
now I made hide new parameters to keep each both thin rotation value,
rThinvalue and lThinvalue,, it can only preserve negative(foward) rotation value,,
then,, next make the property to keep delta of two,, rThinvalue - lThinvalue, as name
I set,, controller and sub components for each property to rotate my Fmover bone
when genesis rotate her thins,,
then it can work,, about all case 1 to case 3,,
now my karuki dress can auto move its front roin,, when genesis rotate her things forward.
then if I hope I can adjust it manually, by ghost F-mover,,
(and I made controller to adjust the auto-follow value by multiple too,,)
but,,,I am not happy,, :sick:because,, it is not simple and good way,,,,,
if I know about dsf more,, , I can gather 4 controlloer to one, and no need to make
new controller just for keep value and simple mathas hide parameter,,,, ,, @@;
it may need just only one "followthinFwdmove.dsffile" in deta of the clothing,,,, I think,,,.
so,,, is there good documents for dsf coding, with actuall case .
I want to study dsf coding to set more complicate rig move,, ><; how can I do it,,, ??</p>bone3.JPG765 x 612 - 115K
Now there I'm afraid I can't help you. Scripting is not something I normally do. Doing what you're doing already is actually more complex in terms of controllers than the average clothing item offered here or at Rendo.
Also, I apologize, but what is a "roin?" It's the one word you keep losing me on.
:red:ah,, so sorry ,,I mistake,, about word no,, Roin,,, it is LOIN,, @@;
thenn,,, I do not understand well about LOIN ^^;,,,
when I get some fntasy clothings,, then there are LOIN poze,,or named as LOIN, about some rig.
so I thought,,,ceparate front part of clothing like skirt called as LOIN ?
(I serched english dictionaly, but it seems strange,,, ^^; but it is usuall to call LOIN?)
and,, I know,, if you set such controller or complex ERC about your product,,
it may not useful for user,,,,,^^; or may cause other problem for user,,
I know,,,you can do more and more good work by your skill,, ^^
(I hope,, you release fantasy or SF , or game character look costume,,[email protected]@;)
I think.bones (which made for fit to genesis) of clothing figure,, basically need to set bones as same as genesis rig
to forrow genesis move,, but ,, ordinaly,, the clothing has many part,, not one mesh figure,,so sometimes,,
need to free move about each part.
and the genesis rig positon is not perfect much for the clothing figure ,,(because the rigs are for human,,,,)
if bones of clothing can change positon, more close to the surface about each part,, (with keep fit to)
I thought that...^^;
about daz script or daz file documents ,, I need to serch more by my self,,,^^;
thanks much,, because,,after read your kind reply and advices about ERC and weight map,,
I could think,,,, I did not go wrong way ,,,.
You're welcome!
The loins are the genitalia or pelvic areas of the human body. A loincloth (I'm guessing that's what you bought) is a cloth for covering that area. The front of a skirt is just called the front of the skirt. :-D
Thank you for the compliment. Maybe some day Marieah will let me do a fantasy product, we'll see. ;)

Officials probe Bronx SUV accident that killed 7
NEW YORK (AP) -- Three generations of a family died in a horrifying crash just a few miles from home when the SUV they were traveling in plunged more than 50 feet off a highway overpass and into a ravine on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo, killing all seven aboard, including three children.
"Sometimes you come upon events that are horrific and this is one of them," FDNY deputy Chief Ronald Werner said shortly after the crash.
Authorities were trying to determine what caused Sunday's accident that killed Jacob Nunez, 85, and Ana Julia Martinez, 81, both from the Dominican Republic, their daughters, Maria Gonzalez, 45, and Maria Nunez, 39, and three grandchildren. Police say Gonzalez was driving.
The children were identified as Jocelyn Gonzalez, 10, the daughter of the driver, Niely Rosario, 7, and Marly Rosario, 3, both daughters of Nunez.
"They were a good, wholesome family," a Bronx neighbor, Felicia Lee, 29, told the Daily News.
"The mother always kept an eye on her children. They were typical little girls. They were gorgeous. They were so pretty," Lee said.
Werner said the crash scene, less than five miles from Gonzalez's Bronx home, was difficult to see, with contents of the van, including a pink schoolbag, strewn about.
"When you see young kids that have been hurt or injured or lose their life, it's always harder than if you find someone that's an elder age," Werner said. "It affects all our units."
The 2004 Honda Pilot was headed south on the Bronx River Parkway when it bounced off the median, crossed three southbound lanes and hit the curb, causing the vehicle to become airborne, continue over the guardrail and plunge 59 feet, police said.
The cause of the crash, which happened around 12:30 p.m., was unclear, and police haven't yet said how fast the SUV was traveling. A city official said the guardrail's height would be one of the safety issues investigated.
"Obviously, the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed," Werner said. "It hit something that caused it to become airborne."
Werner said that it doesn't appear that any other vehicles were involved.
The SUV landed in a wooded area on the edge of zoo property that's closed to the public and far from any animal exhibits, zoo spokeswoman Mary Dixon said. The vehicle lay mangled hours later, its right doors ripped off and strewn amid the trees along with items from the car. Next to the heavily wooded area are subway tracks and a train yard.
The medical examiner's office said it expected to release the victims' causes of death on Monday.
The accident was the second in the past year where a car fell off the same stretch of the Bronx River Parkway. Last June, the driver of an SUV heading north lost control and the SUV hit a divider, bounced through two lanes of traffic and fell 20 feet over a guardrail, landing on a pickup truck in a parking lot. The two people in the SUV were injured.
City agencies will be asked to look at safety issues on the highway including guardrail height, Bronx borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. said in a statement Sunday.
"My prayers, as well as those of my office and all Bronxites, go out to the families of the seven victims," he said.
The wreck was the deadliest in New York City since the driver of a tour bus returning from a Connecticut casino in March 2011 lost control and slammed into a pole that sheared the bus nearly end to end, killing 14 passengers.
In 2009, just north of New York City in suburban Westchester County, a woman carrying a vanload of children drove nearly two miles in the wrong direction on a highway before colliding with an SUV. Eight people were killed, including four children. An autopsy determined that the woman, Diane Schuler, had downed at least 10 drinks and had smoked marijuana as recently as 15 minutes before the wreck.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Director and Head Coach of Track and Field/Cross Country Beth Alford-Sullivan has announced to hiring of Randy Bungard, who will step in as an assistant coach, overseeing the Nittany Lions' highly successful sprints, hurdles, and relays contingent. Bungard brings over 20 years of coaching experience to Happy Valley, most recently serving as the Head Men's and Women's Track and Field Coach at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi. Over his career, Bungard has coached numerous NCAA Champions, and nearly 100 All-Americans.
"I am so excited to add Randy to our staff," said Alford-Sullivan. "He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and passion to the program and I am thrilled he will lead our great corps of sprinters and hurdlers. Randy is an outstanding coach that has had huge success throughout his career. He is a true teacher of the events and our student-athletes will gain greatly from his expertise of our sport. Randy is a wonderful person as well and I will enjoy working with him each and every day."
Upon arrival at Penn State, Bungard will oversee one of the country's premiere men's 4×400-meter relay squads, with all four legs returning for the Nittany Lions' sizzling 3:01.52 effort last spring. The Nittany Lion 4×400 earned a pair of banner NCAA finishes 2012, finishing second at the NCAA Indoor Championships and fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
"Penn State is one of those universities that a person always desires to be a part of," said Bungard. "I thank Coach Sullivan for the opportunity to come here and work with a great staff, be at a great university, and be a part of a fantastic team. Coach Johnson did an outstanding job with the sprinters, hurdlers, and the relays and my goal is to keep that level of excellence where he and Coach Sullivan worked so hard to put it. I'm really excited about being a NIttany Lion and look forward to helping this team achieve the level of excellence that Coach Sullivan and Penn State expect."
Bungard spent the last four years in Corpus Christi, where he coached men's and women's sprints and hurdles, as well as the high, long, and triple jumps. During his tenure with the Islanders, Bungard coached nine Southland Conference Champions, as well as 37 All-Conference performers. Bungard also led Islander athletes to 48 school-record performances.
Throughout his career, Bungard has worked with some of the top track and field programs in the country, having spent 11 years as the Director and Head Coach of Track and Field/Cross Country at the University of Virginia, while also boasting coaching stints at the University of Texas, and Clemson University. He started his coaching career as a volunteer assistant at East Tennessee State University in 1987.
While in Charlottesville, he was responsible for 33 All-America finishes, as well as 34 ACC Champions. The Cavaliers also experienced some outstanding team finishes under Bungard's watch, including victories at the ACC Men's Cross Country Championships in 2005 and 2007. Personally, Bungard was named the ACC Men's Track and Field Coach of the Year in 2001, and was voted the Southeast Region Men's Track and Field Coach of the Year the same season.
Bungard was a part of highly successful stint at the University of Texas from 1995-1997, helping the Longhorn women's program to second-place finishes at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 1997. The year prior, the Longhorns finished third at the NCAA Indoor Championships, and second at NCAA Outdoor. All told, Bungard assisted in coaching 11 NCAA Champions and 50 All-Americans in just two years in Austin.
Early on in his coaching career, Bungard spent several successful seasons at Clemson University, overseeing 11 All-Americans and 22 ACC Champions as an assistant for the women's program from 1988-1983. The Tigers won ACC titles during the 1991 outdoor season, and 1992 indoor season with Bungard on staff.
A true student of the sport, Bungard has coached athletes in all event areas in track and field and cross country, including Kim Graham, who was a member of the United States' gold-medal 4×400-meter relay at the 1996 Olympic Games. Graham was also the U.S. 400-meter champion in 1998. While at East Tennessee State, Bungard led Angela Baker to top honors in the shot put at the 1988 NCAA Indoor Championships.
Bungard earned a B.S. in Education from Virginia Tech University in 1987, before completing his M.Ed. at East Tennessee State in 1988.

A teen who graduated from Barrington High School has been implicated in the August strangulation of an 18-year-old New York woman, officials said.
Maxwell Sherman, 18, of the 0-100 block of Louisiana Street in Long Beach, N.Y., is charged with second–degree murder, preliminarily, in the strangulation death of 18-year-old Lauren Daverin, according to Shams Tarek, a spokesman for the District Attorney of Nassau County. "There may be further charges," Tarek said.
The slaying occurred about 10 p.m. Aug. 22, on a footbridge at Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre, N.Y., said Tarek.
Nassau County Police Det. Vincent Garcia said the victim's body was found on the bridge, naked, "brutally murdered," and sexually assaulted.
Sherman was arrested Aug. 24 and is being held without bail. He remains in the custody of the Nassau County police. On Aug. 30, he was indicted by a grand jury and is awaiting arraignment, said Tarek.
Sherman was interviewed on a local television station a few days before his arrest near the footbridge, which is a local hangout for teens, Garcia said. "They smoke, drink and party there," Garcia said of the area.
Daverin, of Lynbrook, N.Y., was pronounced dead on the scene at 10:15 p.m. by paramedics, according to Garcia.
Though Sherman lived mostly in the New York area, he attended Barrington High School for one semester from September to December 2012, – his last in high school – and obtained his diploma on Jan. 28, 2013, said Barrington School District 220 spokesman Jeff Arnett.
"Our reaction to the news is that it's a tragedy that a former student is allegedly involved in such a horrible crime," Arnett said.
Sherman had enough credits from other high schools that transferred to Barrington High School which allowed him to graduate, said Arnett. He did not attend the May commencement, however.
Sherman's family had a home in Barrington but mostly lived in New York. Sherman attended 2nd and 3rd grade at Barrington's Lines Elementary School and 8th grade at the Barrington Middle School's Station Campus, Arnett said.
Sherman had no siblings who attended the Barrington schools and the victim in the slaying was not affiliated with Barrington, according to Arnett.
"We always hope that our students go on to bigger and better things but occasionally we hear of these horrible circumstances,"' Arnett said.

The user shouldn't have to enter his password twice (once for logging in, once for opening the default wallet). The main problem is that the wallet will still have to be password protected, so we need a way to transmit the password to the daemon.
Gnome keyring provide a hack (is it?) for this:
Upon authenticating the user, or logging into the session, the PAM module checks for the GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET environment variable. If not present it assumes that gnome-keyring-daemon is not running for that session.
Upon authenticating the user, the PAM module tries to unlock the 'login' keyring with the password entered by the user.
|How it works
We could basically do something quite similar to this for kwallet:
Sascha Peilicke will look into this matters and come up with a plan. This is a core issue so we'll have to discuss it on kcd.
Sascha proposed making kwallet/keyring cross-desktop so the user would need only a single authentication backend running. For this to work we'd either need a single API and multiple implementations or a common backend implementation - probably something for freedesktop.org. Coordinating that would take a hell lot of time so this is more or less a long-term goal. In the process we have to consider binary API compatibility.
It would also be nice to have software not tied to a desktop use this (ie. Firefox).
This relates to Bug bug #105752. We should come up with a way to store passwords before a session crashes. Of course shouldn't disturb the user (which is why I (Lemma) don't like the timed solution proposed by a comment in this report). Complete rewrites of the kwl file should happen at points in time when the user is used to waiting (ie. opening the wallet after a crash, saving the session).
General idea: On adding new passwords, append the encrypted password entries to the kwl file without rewriting it completely. If the session crashes the passwords are still here. The kwl file could be cleaned up upon reopening the wallet. As far as I know this might work. We'll see.
The interface will have to be reworked. We were talking about:

In Part One we opened up the discussion in various directions. Today let's talk about the impact of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and how the capitalists can still win the Brass Ring.
First off, we discussed the mistake about not praising President Bush. But most importantly the failure to talk to the right side of the brain is a key problem. The odds are that most people are dominant right brained. So why spend all that time and money talking to the left side of the brain? For the newbies… Right side is imaginative. And the left side is factual based.
The capitalists will need to change the way they market their approach. Think about this for a minute. The Democrats paint themselves as the savior of all the single moms, Blacks, Latinos and anyone else that looks at the world through the right side of their brain.
And Obama does this quite well. We call him a liar, but you see if you base all your beliefs on imagination, it is really not lying. And if the listeners out their believe him, they must vote for him. It is too bad he chose to be a politician instead of a writer for Disney!
On the other hand all they hear from the Republicans are how bad things are and most of their fixes do not sound good to the right brained individual. Remember the right brain dominants use the same senses as the left sided but they are perceived by the brain differently.
Look at this picture. Let's say we go to the inner city in just about any where in America. Find that "family" you know the one that it took a village to destroy. And show on film how these people live. Don't bother talking about the missing parent or the drugs and all the obvious stuff. Those techniques come across as racism, religious, and snobbish. And can be used by folks like Obama to sell the concept that Republicans are mean and angry people and don't understand the plight of his people. Now of course Obama has never lived a poor day in his life. He dreams about a father he never had and how black he has never been.
Now we show this family. Find someone with missing teeth and their gut hanging out. There is no bedroom furniture. The children sleep on the floor. The kids have some god forsaken illness like asthma but the parents or care keepers still are smoking away in the home. The kids can't get good grades because well let's blame it on the teachers. The teachers are not doing their job. Remember quit using your left brain! We know that the kids are eating junk foods, and have little if no parental guidance. That is not the issue.
So I think you get the "feeling". This applies to many poor families. It is not just the Blacks or Latinos. This is all over America and most of these folks are white or at least 50% white. But color of 50% or less does count unless you are a lousy president.
So now we paint this picture. It is not a good picture. This is the results after spending trillions of dollars to help poor people. Most people think the poor are living high on the hog. But they really are not. And maybe they could get a better job, but maybe not. That is not the point.
Now here comes the good part. Show these families all across America. The Democrats blame this on the Republicans and the rich.
Again it is so easy to fall into the left brain trap. Who cares how we got there and why. Just blame it on the Democrats. You don't have to blame it on just one thing. Just blame everything on the liberal Democrats. For years we have heard how great the Democrats are as the standard bearer for the poor. Well let's put the blame where it belongs… On the Liberals!
And the ending of the ad is simple. The Democrats clam that they have helped the poor. Is this the way you would like to live? It almost looks like the Democrats want the poor to live like this. Isn't it time for a change. Democrats are always raising taxes, but the poor seem to be getting worse. Isn't it time for a change?
The point is that there are millions of families like this. And you don't need the factual reason they are in this condition. . The Democrats never need that answer. All they do is paint the picture and blame it on the Republicans. It is time the Republicans do the same thing. Put the blame where it really belongs…On the Democrats.
Since LBJ the Democrats have been funneling money and their alleged bleeding hearts into the poor from the inner cities. Are they any better off? The Republicans can make a difference. And leave it at that. Leave the left brain in the closet.
So now what are the Democrats going to say? There are millions of people who live like this. The voting Democrats don't know this. Guys like Miller think that these folks are living high on the hog. Let me tell you first hand they are not. And most of these people are not happy. Yet Obama and the global freaks wants to spend money on the poor in other countries. Why not in his own country!
The poor had hope and change that Obama would lead them from the desert. Betcha he has never attended a fund raiser in one of their homes. It is time to use the right side of the brain against the Democrats. Remember a conservative or capitalist will never vote for a liberal Democrat. No sense spending money on left brained ads!
I recall looking at some buildings in Baltimore where there was a history that the roof was leaking. So the tenants actually lined the suspended ceiling with plastic in an attempt to catch the rain water in 55 gallon buckets. My guess is that the city finally threw them out and left the building to be vacant and decay away after millions of taxpayer dollars had been spent on inner city rebuilding.
These are the pictures you need to campaign with. Most of these cities are run by Democrats. But remember paint with the right side and do not analyze or in any way justify with the left brain. If you do… you are dead. The Democrats don't use the left side, why should you?
Just maybe the next time the Democrats start busing these people in to vote, the vote won't be 100% Democrat. Right now the poor have been brain washed into thinking their only salvation is with the Democrats. We have almost 50 years of evidence that it is not true. Unless of course you want to live like they do! No one in America should have to live like the poor in these Democrat run cities. Paint the picture that shows what the Democrats have accomplished in 50 years! Nothing. Just trillions of dollars in debt and many souls lost forever. Do you think the Republicans can make a difference?
