Registration System for Federal Motor Vehicles In Development at GSA
February 25, 2008
Contact: Jen Millikin, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced it is developing the Federal Motor Vehicle Registration System, which will register all federally-owned and commercially-leased motor vehicles that display official U.S. government license plates.
The system, under development by GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy and the GSA Fleet Program, will also hold a complete inventory of all U.S. government license plates manufactured, including those held by federal agencies for future use.
"With efforts by our first responders to protect our communities and neighborhoods, they should not have to second guess whether a government vehicle is authentic. This new registration system will give our state and local law enforcement the added tools they need to help ensure the public's safety," said Kevin Messner, Acting Associate Administrator of GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy.
The Vehicle Registration System will be accessible to law enforcement officials at the federal, state and local levels through the International Justice and Public Safety Network (Nlets). Nlets is a non-profit organization, owned and governed by the states.
Nlets provides a computer-based message switching system that links together state, local, and federal law enforcement and justice agencies for the purpose of information exchange. Law enforcement agencies have access to Nlets for motor vehicles displaying state-issued license plates.
Entering the federal vehicles in Nlets will enable law enforcement officers to quickly identify and verify federal motor vehicles, including valid licensing and operational location. GSA is championing this initiative to improve national security through a government-wide database of federal motor vehicles and federal license plates for law enforcement.
Over the past year, GSA met with federal agency representatives to review security concerns, identify resource and budget impacts, develop system specifications, and worked with state departments of motor vehicles and law enforcement agencies. It was determined that a new plate design should also include the use of license plate expiration dates. The GSA Fleet Program owns approximately 200,000 of the federal government's 620,000 non-tactical motor vehicles, leasing most of these vehicles to other federal agencies on a cost reimbursable basis. GSA Fleet's expertise in the operation of motor vehicle fleets and extensive automation accomplishments in this area makes their operation a perfect fit for the Vehicle Registration System.
In March 2003, the GSA Fleet Program entered into a cooperative agreement with Nlets to ensure that law enforcement personnel had access to vehicle information for all GSA leased vehicles. Agencies will start entering owned vehicle data into the Vehicle Registration System in late 2008, with full implementation in January 2009.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and eGov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy's authority covers the areas of personal and real property, travel and transportation, information technology, regulatory information and use of federal advisory committees.

To help you find your way through the maze of admission standards and requirements of Universities you are considering, we would like to give you an idea of what we, at Frostburg State University, look for in our applicants.
The University encourages applications from students prepared to join in the life of an intellectual community. First-year college students are granted admission on the basis of high school grade point average, performance on the SAT/ACT, completion of a college preparatory program, optional letters of recommendation, and an optional admissions essay. The University's admissions policies are governed by the Policy on Undergraduate Admissions (III-4.00) of the Board of Regents of the University System of Maryland.
High School GPA
First-year college applicants are granted admission on a rolling basis. Many admission decisions are made, consequently, on grades you have earned only through the end of the junior year. However, the first semester of your senior year can be pivotal in gaining admission and your remaining high school work must be successfully completed.
Performance on the SAT/ACT
Your performance on the SAT/ACT should be in the range that would normally predict success in college.
College Preparatory Program in High School
Entering first-year students must have:
If you have not taken the required courses, you may be admitted to the University with the understanding that courses in the deficient area(s) must be completed during the first year if you want to continue your studies.
Through advanced placement, applicants may have completed advanced courses before high school and opted out of certain required courses in high school. If you have taken advanced courses, the University assumes minimum requirements have been met.
Diagnostic Placement Tests
All entering first-time students, as well as any transfer students not transferring Freshman Composition and/or a college-level math course, will take diagnostic placement tests in reading, writing and mathematics to determine appropriate placement.
If you score below predetermined standards on these examinations, you will be required to enroll in specified courses your first semester to develop your skills to a level which will enable you to function successfully at the University. You are expected to reach these levels within two semesters.
Special Standards
Admission to specific University degree programs may require higher standards or be limited by opportunities to complete the courses required for that program.
Right to Refuse Applications
The Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management reserves the right to deny or revoke applications for admission or readmission of any applicant whose former record(s) and/or observed conduct is incongruent with the established guidelines for student behavior and academic responsibility at Frostburg State University.
Please check back in mid-November for updated information regarding scholarships.

I have probably mentioned my love for Heidi Swanson's blog 101 Cookbooks before. It was one of the first food blogs I started reading and has been a constant inspiration to my cooking. This will come as no surprise to fellow food bloggers, as Heidi has been blogging since 2003 and earning well-deserved recognition and awards ever since.
Her photos and creative whole food recipes never fail to excite me and get me thinking. The way Heidi combines flavors and presents quality produce makes vegetarian cooking look gorgeous, easy and fun.
I've been flagging my new copy of Super Natural Everyday for a couple of weeks now and it's gone straight out of control. I can see myself cooking everything and can't wait to do so.
The first recipe I tried was miso-curry roasted squash. I love the idea of blending these different Asian flavors to generously coat squash, potatoes and tofu in. Roasted vegetables combined with bold red curry and miso pastes make this dish a rich and complex combination of bright, warming flavors.
I stuck to her original recipe pretty closely, but I am eager to try this spice paste on carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes and even fish. I served this as a main, but I think it would work as a side without the tofu.
Miso-Curry Squash
Adapted slightly from Super Natural Everyday
(serves 2-4)
– 1/4 cup white miso paste
– 1 heaping tablespoon red curry paste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/2 medium butternut squash, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4-5 small chat potatoes, quartered
– 1/2 cup tofu, cut into small cubes
– 1 tablespoons white vinegar
– 2 cups kale, finely shredded
– 2 tablespoons toasted pepitas
– a big handful of chopped cilantro and Thai basil, combined.
Preheat oven to 400F/200c
In a small bowl, combine the miso paste, red curry paste and olive oil.
In a large bowl toss the squash, potatoes and tofu with 2/3 of the miso paste mixture until everything is covered well. Spread this out onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until squash, potatoes and tofu are golden – tossing a couple of times to make sure everything gets evenly browned.
While this is baking, add vinegar and a teaspoon of warm water to the remaining miso paste mixture. Toss with kale to coat well.
Combine warm squash mixture with kale. Garnish with toasted pepitas, cilantro and basil. Serve warm
To toast pepitas: Place pepitas in a dry pan over a medium-low heat for about 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to distribute the heat. Take off the heat once golden.

The Glorious Sixth Year
Tim and Claire dated over six years before making the commitment to get married. Their wedding was not only anticipated by them, but everyone involved. So, we wanted to try something different. As we approached this shoot, we challenged ourselves to shoot with the theme of perspective. We shot a larger percentage of the shots from the perspective of the couple, the bridal party or guests, to help us feel what it felt to experience their wedding. Here is what we were able to create for them. Enjoy!

14 Famous Ladies Who Changed Their Names After Getting Married
I've always been shocked by the statistic that 93 percent of American women take their husband's last name. But there's one group that's overly represented in the seven percent who don't—celebrities. It makes sense because, once you get to the point where you're famous, your name is a brand. It's the way people have, and most likely will continue to, see you. Changing it is just confusing. After all, what would we make of Reese Toth? Or Drew Kopelman?
That's why it comes as sort of surprise that Lily Allen, who has released two albums that went Gold in the U.S. and triple platinum in the UK, has not only legally changed her name following her marriage to Sam Cooper, but professionally as well. Should she ever release a third record (please, Lily, won't you?), it'll be under the name Lily Rose Cooper. When your name is integral to your brand as an entertainer, a move like this mid-career seems risky to me. I mean, I really don't think I'll be changing my professional name to Amelia Gosling, you know? [Rolling Stone]
Anyway, keep clicking for other stars who changed their names post-marriage.

Sorry, I completely missed the gateway connection. Late Night post. So yes you are right; you don't have a choice on Gateways. I read that in ettercap's man just the other day. LOL.
Edit: Well wait. If you need it to be offensive, then I think just use ettercap. Ettercap doesn't detect if you're on a gateway, so you have to tell it not to forward. This is unoffensive. I'm not a pro at ettercap, but I think this is true. Does this sound right?
Anyone know where I can get a version of fragrouter that will work on BT3
This worked fine yeah, i capped myself signing into googlemail and hotmail just for fun i saved all the ssl data as a cap file in wireshark and following the instructions made a file called through ssldump called out.....it didnt literatlly decrypt it, my password or mail address never showed up at all....is it sposed to or am i missing somthing here ?
I don't think this is supposed to show you the mail address and the password.
In that case it worked perfectly and it was decrypted in plain text......
Off of memory:
edit etter.conf (use locate)
set UID and GID to 0
look for iptables under "Linux" and uncomment both lines
ettercap -T -q -i whateverinterface -M arp:remote // //
Use ettercap -I to find out what interface you can use.
This will print any passwords that are captured to stout.
Read a tutorial on ettercap, you can do some crazy things.

P.S. Some one correct me if I'm wrong above.

Recapping Dante: Canto 17, or Dante Goes to Los AngelesBy Alexander Aciman
This winter, we're recapping the Inferno. Read along!
A transcript from the Dante's Inferno writers' room.
Executive Producer: Did everyone get the canto 17 draft Dante sent around?
Writer One: Oh, where do I even start? It's pretentious, it's dry, it's incomprehensible. When it opens, we're in the third ring of the seventh circle. There's a serpentine monster the guys meet, but instead of checking it out or slaying it or whatever, Dante forges ahead and talks to some usurer guy who's wearing a giant bag under his chin. He's not too chatty, so then the focus turns back to the monster—
Executive Producer: Does the monster have a name?
Writer Two: Geryon.
Executive Producer (mulling this over): That's a good name.
Writer One: Yeah, but then it gets ridiculous. Virgil and Dante ride on the monster's back like they're in Disney World.
Writer Two: Well, they're in hell. Pretty close. Maybe we can get marketing to pitch a Geryon ride somewhere. Read More

How we do things here
This is how things are done in these parts: I don't want to speak for him because I know my friend Don Parris has his own explanation for it (which he outlines on his blog here), but it appears that while building up his bash scripting skills, he noticed a certain finality to deleting filed in bash. So he wrote a script to keep the files around in case there's an "oops-I-needed-that-file-after-all" moment.
So Don did what we do in these parts, this paradigm known as FOSS: He wrote his own script. Not only this, he put it under the GPL and put it out for the benefit of the wide world to use.
Is it something that will be widely adopted and catapult Don to a nomination for the Nobel? Probably not. But for those of us who would use it, it's a pretty nifty tool, and my hat is off to Don and the Bash Trashman (which you can get at the link two paragraphs up, and note to Don: I sort of like Brash myself, but snicker uncontrollably at the thought of calling it Bashmaster, a la Bassmaster).
Because that's how things are done here.
There's a flip side to this coin, too: It's when someone visits to a distro or a project and tells the community "Hey, you can do things better. Let me tell you how."
I bring this up in the wake of a thread in the CrunchBang forums around what might — might — constitute improvements in that particular distribution. That's reason number one. The second reason is that I'm guilty of this, too, and learned my lesson years ago.
While there is always room for improvement in anything, the changes the original poster suggests are things that are already found commonly in other distros and, arguably (as noted in the thread) CrunchBang's strengths lie in what it "lacks" in the way of digital creature comforts as much as it lies in the great job Philip Newborough has done in putting together an Openbox-based distro that's fast on old hardware and lightning quick on the newer stuff.
You've heard me say this before, mantra-like, and I'm going to have this etched on my tombstone: Use whatever distro/FOSS program works for you. This is one of those basic truths, like the inevitability of death and taxes and the inability to comprehend how gravity works, understanding the Wankel engine or the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey." To go to one community set in their ways and say, "You know, you'd be a lot more popular if $LIST_OF_REASONS" doesn't fly because, in the constellation of the 320-something distros in the Linux/BSD universe, there's a distro out there that will do exactly what you want it to do. As it should be. And if this one doesn't do it for you and you're not using one that does work for you — opting to try to change it to your tastes instead of changing yours to fit the distro — you're falling into the trap outlined in that popular Southern expression: "Never teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and it annoys the pig."
To his credit (and I'm assuming the original poster is a he), the original poster has stuck with CrunchBang and he seems to be working out some of the bugs he's finding. Also, one of the things I hope he's finding is that there is a wealth of knowledge and education a question away in the CrunchBang forums, which is a huge and positive testament to that particular community.
As an aside, I use CrunchBang regularly as my primary distro because a.) I like it and b.) it does what I need it to do across a wide range of hardware which, say it with me, means it suits my needs. The fact that it's a community with a wide range of smart people is a perk.
Which is as it should be.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and develops business software at Redwood Digital Research, a consultancy that provides FOSS solutions in the small business and home office environment.)

Crunchbang is a good distro as it is, but I'm having a blast(and sometimes a fit!) customizing it, I'm having fun learning things again.

User driven innovation is a big part of Linux.
The people who ask, "Hey, what if?" or suggest
that app X is added to the repositories. How one
asks for these things is important but listening to
users is important also. Those of us who do not
code are stuck with asking the developers to do
things. Hey Devs, thanks for all you do.
On the other hand, letting developers or the boss
of the developers to run wild in the code, without
asking anyone if it is a good idea gives us more
KDE4 or GNOME3 or, shudder, Unity.

Mars Hill, N.C. - Josh Roper and Gaither Hendrix combined for 28 points in the second half as the Tornados attempted to comeback, but three Mars Hill Lions players scored over 20 points, led by Donterious Hughes' game high 25 as the Tornados fell in Stanford Arena, 91-80.
The Tornados (9-11, 6-8 SAC) split the season series with the Lions in falling on Saturday afternoon. Roper led Brevard with 24 points and added five rebounds, while Hendrix scored 20 with four assists as the Tornados hit 42.0 percent (29-69) form the floor in the game. Drew Schauss added 10 points and five rebounds after missing most of the week with an ankle injury as the Tornados fell to the Lions.
Hughes led the way for the Lions (9-13, 6-8 SAC) with 25 points and added 10 rebounds to complete the double-double. Sammy Emile added 24 points and Dion Malachi scored 23 as the Mars Hill out-rebounded the Tornados 45-34 and had 17 second chance points in the ball game in recording the season split.
The Tornados scored the first four points of the contest as Roper opened the scoring with a jumper at the 19:30 mark and Josh Jordan went in for the layup as Brevard held the 4-0 advantage early. Sammy Emile opened the gates for the Lions, hitting a three-pointer with 18:43 to play, cutting the lead down to one.
A layup by Austin Patton went in for the layup on the next Mars Hill possession to put the Lions up 5-4 as the Lions went 14-2 run, capped by a dunk by Malachi as the Lions took the 14-6 lead. The Tornados battled back, bringing the game to within two points on three separate occasions, with the last coming at the 2:11 mark as Hendrix went in for the layup to put the score at 35-33, but the Lions went into halftime with the 41-37 lead.
Brevard took the lead early in the second half, going up by one as Hendrix drilled a trey with 17:44 to play as the Tornados went up 46-45. Malachi score three straight to give the Lions the 48-46 advantage, but Jermichael Tanner drove in for the layup to force the only tie in the game at 48 with 16:57 to play.
Hendrix hit a three-pointer to give the Tornados their largest lead of the second half with 16:45 to play, giving Brevard the 51-48 edge, but Mars Hill regained the lead with 13:57 to play as Hughes went in for the fast break layup, putting the score at 54-53. The Lions steadily built a 10 point lead at 73-63 with 7:28 to go and though the Tornados challenged late, Mars Hill came away with the 91-80 victory.
Brevard stays on the road as they travel down to Young Harris, Ga. on Monday, February 14th, as they take on Young Harris College. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Mountain Lions in the YHC Basketball Arena is set for 7:30 p.m.

Keren Ann epitomizes the multicultural modern nomad: born to a Javanese-Dutch mother and a Russian-Israeli father, the 31-year-old singer-songwriter settled down in Paris at age 11. These days, the artist splits her time between Paris and New York, and even wrote her last album, the melancholy Nolita, as a tribute to her adopted city; for her, Manhattan is the other pole in a bicontinental urban existence. "You don't have to belong anywhere to belong in New York or Paris," she says. "Every street corner is recognizable from cinema. The ambience, the vibe—everything is so familiar." Still, Keren Ann has remained loyal to the village-like neighborhood of Les Abbesses in Montmartre for the past eight years. Recently, T+L trailed the singer through a typical evening in her Parisian life.
5:45 P.M. A night in Paris may as well begin among the dead—at the Cimetière de Montmartre (20 Ave. Rachel; 33-1/ 53-42-36-30), one of Keren Ann's must-see city haunts. "Dalida and many artists are buried here," she says, leading the way across the Pont Caulaincourt in the rain. "At no time is it spooky. There's a nice energy, and the stained glass is really beautiful in the daylight."
6:45 P.M. Moving at a Parisian-quick trot past the movie-set cafés on the Rue des Abbesses, we stop at La Mascotte (52 Rue des Abbesses; 33-1/46-06-28-15), an unassuming brasserie with old wall tiles and a Bordeaux-themed clock, for belon oysters and a glass of chilled Macon. She smokes steadily, chatting up the characters at the bar. This could be a scene out of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie, much of which was filmed nearby.
7:20 P.M. "Salut, ma chérie, ça va?" Keren Ann calls out to a toothless woman camped out on a stoop on Place des Abbesses, the neighborhood's main square. "Do you have enough cigarettes?" Keren Ann supplies this local fixture with smokes, while the nearby épicerie provides her with a daily liter of milk. "I've known her for seven years. She calls me Barbara, and herself Mademoiselle Gangster," Keren Ann says. "She says she's a messenger sent to protect the area from cars that are actually aliens."
7:30 P.M. It's a half-hour until closing at Keren Ann's favorite book and music store, L'Oeil du Silence (91 Rue des Martyrs; 33-1/42-64-45-40), a shop with high ceilings and an eclectic mix. "It's best to come in and let yourself be surprised," she says, adding that this is where she goes for hard-to-find items like DVD's of Nico performing live and a John Cale biography in French and English. She pets the owners' dog and sits down on the mosaic tile floor to leaf through Emily Dickinson, translated into French.
9 P.M. At the intimate Café Burq (6 Rue Burq; 33-1/42-52-81-27; dinner for two $64), co-owner Frédéric Péneau pours the singer a glass of champagne at the bar, which is lit with sherbet-colored Christophe Pilletdesigned wall sconces. "When I'm writing or recording and I want a drink, I'll come here—it's just two steps from my house," Keren Ann says, pausing to double-kiss a flow of fashionable acquaintances who squeeze past the bar on their way to dinner. "It's a real neighborhood sort of place, but people come from all over town for their roasted Camembert," she says. Her favorites on the menu: veal liver sautéed with figs, rump steak with shallots and soy sauce, and a crumble with seasonal berries for dessert.
9:45 P.M. Down the hill from Les Abbesses in the Pigalle quarter, bustling Boulevard de Clichy is lined with sex shops and flooded with tourists spilling out of the topless show at the Moulin Rouge (82 Blvd. de Clichy; 33- 1/53-09-82-82; dinner and show from $210 per person). "I love this area," Keren Ann says. "There's something old and very French about it." She's also fond of Montmartre's music halls—especially the Théâtre Le Trianon (80 Blvd. Rochechouart; 33-1/44-92-78-00), with its red velvet seats and slanted stage.
10:15 P.M. Nights often end at the kitschy cabaret-style bar Aux Noctambules (24 Blvd. de Clichy; 33-1/46-06-16-38), where the drink specialty is a Vodka Pomme Frozenn made in a slush machine and the house act is an old-timer named Pierre Carré, who sings French classics while playing a keyboard or an accordion. "You come in here at 2 a.m. and order a digestif or a bottle of champagne," Keren Ann says, "and he sings all these very cheesy—in a good way— songs from his heart."
11 P.M. From Aux Noctambules, it's a short walk back to her apartment, and Keren Ann strolls down the middle of the lamplit, rain-dampened streets. "I love the way Paris smells after the rain," she says. "Wherever I am, I always feel as if I'm somewhere else. But when I come here, I come home."

Pablo Picasso
Seated Woman with a Book
Pablo Picasso
Spanish, 1881-1973
Seated Woman with a Book, ca. 1910
Oil on canvas
41.3 x 24.1 cm (16 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches)
Museum Works of Art Fund 51.094
Picasso may have painted this small undated picture in the summer of 1910 when he visited the town of Cadaqués on the coast of Spanish Catalonia. As his Cubist strategies evolved, he replaced closed forms with more fluid structures. In Seated Woman with a Book, he shifts passages of tonal modeling through armatures of angled lines. He integrated the figure into space but preserved multiple viewpoints, thus transforming her into a rhythmic scaffold. Ambiguous hieroglyphics suggest her breasts, crossed legs, the book in her lap, and the chair upon which she sits. At left, the shift of palette from gray-brown to a soft blue suggests that the figure is seated before a window open to the sea beyond.

Growing Pains
Schools feel the pinch when it comes to growth in the West Valley
By Lori K. Baker
It's back-to-school time. Will the children in the West Valley's new residential developments have a neighborhood school to attend? At first, that question might strike you as odd. After all, many consider school the cornerstone of the neighborhood, something you automatically count on to be there. But officials in the West Valley's fastest growing school districts say it's not correct to make that assumption. "People assume there's a place for their kid to go to school, but logistically it isn't always so," says Pete Turner, superintendent of Liberty Elementary School District in Buckeye.
Two potent forces have converged in the West Valley to create a school shortage: rapid growth and a school funding formula that fails to keep pace.
Mark Maksimowicz heads Dysart Unified School District, one of the Valley's fastest growing districts. In the 2005-2006 school year, the student population shot up by 3,500 students, more than a 25 percent leap for a district with approximately 18,000 students. In a perpetual game of catch-up to meet the demand for classroom space, DUSD is expected to open four new schools in the 2006-2007 school year.
The long-term outlook looks even more daunting for the Liberty District. While it ended last school year with 3,000 students and five schools, Liberty is expected to have 35,000 students and 45 to 50 schools by 2020. "But that depends on what happens in the housing market over the next 15 years," Turner says.
That means 15 years of wrestling with overcrowding for Turner and other West Valley superintendents, unless the state's schools funding formula is changed.
The old school finance system relied on the secondary property tax, driven by the assessed valuation of a school district and general obligation bonding. In the old system, school districts could ask for voter approval for bonds of up to 15 percent of the school district's assessed valuation as a way to keep pace with growth.
But all that changed in 1994, when the Arizona Supreme Court decided that the funding formula was unconstitutional in the landmark case, Roosevelt Elementary School District No. 66 v. Bishop.
Four years later, then-Gov. Jane Dee Hull signed legislation that dramatically reformed the way K-12 schools are constructed in Arizona. The legislation is known as Students FIRST (Fair and Immediate Resources for Students Today). Students FIRST moved responsibility for funding school construction and other capital items away from local districts to the state and phased out those local property taxes used to support capital expenditures. The new law created a state School Facilities Board to administer the system.
"I don't think anyone realized at the time what was about to happen," says Roxanne Morris, superintendent of the Saddle Mountain Unified School District in Tonopah.
Rapidly growing districts found it nearly impossible to keep pace with growth. The funding formula multiplies the number of students by the square footage and cost per square foot to determine the allocation. "By the time you can even begin construction you're already overcrowded in some—if not all—of your schools," Turner says. "Construction of a new school takes between eight to 12 months, so sometimes when a school opens, it's already full. It makes it very difficult to keep up with growth without having overcrowded schools."
Meanwhile, developers say the School Facilities Board's cost per square foot doesn't reflect the fact that construction costs have catapulted over the last few years. Barry Chasse, vice president of Adolfson & Peterson, developer of numerous Valley schools, says his company has seen a 30 to 40 percent hike in construction material costs—namely steel, copper and petroleum-based products—over the last two and a half years. Labor costs have also jumped 15 to 20 percent over the same period, he says. "The funding levels are inadequate in today's dollars," he says.
A solution? "It's time for the School Facilities Board to be revisited," says Jack Lunsford, president and CEO of WESTMARC. Fellow WESTMARC member Herman Orcutt, partner of The Orcutt/Winslow Partnership, says schools are a key component in the future of the West Valley's successful economic development. "The quality of schools is an important fabric of the community," he says. "Higher quality schools bring up the level of residential, commercial and business development."
Meanwhile, savvy school district officials like Morris are discovering ways to free themselves from state funding straitjackets. She's discovered a key is forging successful partnerships with developers, such as Joel H. Farkas, chairman of JF Companies. Forget golf courses and greenbelts. Farkas believes the wisest investment for developers is the neighborhood school. "Of all the things we could possibly do as a developer, that's the most important," he says.

From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
According to documents obtained from the College of Charleston, a student of Enrique Graf made sexual harassment claims back in January. In the affidavit, the student alleges Graf made "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, unwanted physical contact, verbal sexual harassment and not-verbal sexual conduct."
The student says the harassment started during his freshman year while in lessons with Graf, who was a tenured faculty member in the Department of Music during that time. Documents say, "Mr. Graf made an inappropriate gesture towards [the student] by running his hands slowly up and down [the student's] back.
The document also states the student claims he was invited to Graf's home during his freshman year for alcoholic drinks, even though the student was under the age of 21. They go on to claim Graf and the student smoked marijuana together at Graf's home before Graf asked the student if he wanted a massage. Claims of inappropriate touching during that night were also made.
The student also alleges that, while on a trip to Paris for an annual music festival, Graf reserved one hotel room with only one bed. During their stay, the student claims Graf played pornographic films before performing oral sex on the student and asking the student to reciprocate. Graf claimed that he purchased only one room for financial reasons but said there were two beds in the room.
The student told investigators that Graf provided incentives to the students including: as assistantship, a CD recording, and a recital in Uruguay, if the student did not leave the College of Charleston for graduate school.
During the investigation, Graf denied all of the alleged incidents of abuse, sexual harassment or touching of the student. Graf told investigators he does touch his students, but in a way to, "determine correct posture, etc." according to documents.
Graf stated that the student may have made the claims out of anger after Graf got involved in a break-up between the student and his girlfriend.
Graf said the student may also have made the claims for money, documents show. Graf said the student went through at lawsuit with doctors and, during that lawsuit, told Graf he would, "be a millionaire one day," documents say.
The College also investigated other sexual harassment claims against Graf from a man who said he was sexually abused from ages 13 to 19.
In March, George Hynd, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at the College, sent Graf a letter discussing the allegations. Hynd said that Graf engaged in, "highly inappropriate behavior, in violation of […] college policies." Hynd said in the letter that Graf violated five different policies including ones that prohibit sexual harassment and violations of the employee drug and alcohol abuse policy.
Graf was suspended without pay, according to a letter from the President of the College of Charleston.
Graf resigned on June 4. His attorneys deny all charges saying to News 2, the investigation was, "a sham."

At 94, the indomitable artist Georgia O'Keeffe delights in the New Mexico highlands, where, since the 1930s, she has lived and worked, both in the village of Abiquiu and at the more secluded Ghost Ranch. It took long years of persistence to acquire the Abiquiu house.
Adobe walls mark the approach to the Abiquiu residence.
"When I bought the house, it was totally uninhabitable." −O'Keeffe
Surmounted only by beams, the Roofless Room provides an unassuming backdrop for O'Keeffe's cast-epoxy sculpture, Abstraction, 1945.
A recurring image in the artist's oeuvre appears in White Patio with Red Door, 1960, in the sitting room; the painting was inspired by a wall with a large double-door, in the patio. The raku sculpture is by Juan Hamilton, whose work in clay once inspired O'Keeffe to try her own hand at this medium.
Dedicated to making every space aesthetically satisfying, the artist adorned an adobe bench in the sitting room with natural forms, including a rattlesnake skeleton recessed under glass.
The view from the studio—once a windowless space that sheltered cattle—is echoed in the spare grandeur of the artist's paintings. Dark ceramic forms are by Hamilton.
The Indian Room took its name from the narrow adobe ledges that early Indian inhabitants used as beds. Having faithfully restored the wooden ceiling and adobe walls, O'Keeffe recognized that "building in adobe is like a disease. Once you start using it, you can't really ever stop." A Pueblo Indian pot glows in this context.
"I haven't anything you can get along without," says the artist, explaining the austerity of her small bedroom, which was formerly a shed for two wagons. "This is my corner; you can't have much less than this." The rebuilt fireplace wards off the winter cold. Nearby, the hand from a Buddha statue is raised in abhaya mudra.
Above an old doorway that was once a main entrance to the Abiquiu house, embedded beams add strength to adobe construction.
A random pathway punctuates O'Keeffe's cherished patio at Abiquiu. Curves give the architecture a sculptural quality.
For decades O'Keeffe has spent each summer painting at Ghost Ranch, her second home.
Stark white bones, like those bleaching on the Ghost Ranch veranda, are frequently depicted in the artist's paintings. It has long been her method to base her art on natural subjects found close at hand—often during walks through the desert. According to O'Keeffe, the sagebrush blew in and planted itself.
Chimneys crown the 1930s residence and studio.
The artist has often painted the rugged hills beyond the corral.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL -- Gary Colabuono announced that he has left his post as marketing director of Incredible Technologies, the maker of Golden Tee Golf and other coin-op videogames. April 24 marked his final day with the company.
During his tenure with the videogame company, Colabuono led the marketing effort that elevated Golden Tee Golf into an international brand. He generated widespread media coverage for Golden Tee, organized live Golden Tee tournaments and worked with the game operating community. These labors exposed the game to millions of people and cultivated thousands of video golfers.
Colabuono was also involved in the launch of IT's Silver Strike Bowling, Target Toss Pro series and new PowerPutt Live. He joined the videogame firm 12 years ago.
Before his time in coin-op, Colabuono made a career in comic books. He opened the first comic-book shop in Chicago's suburbs in 1978. Moondog's (Mount Prospect) grew into a six-store chain with more than $5 million in annual sales; he sold it in 1994. He also owned the Chicago Comic Con show for a while in the early 1990s and moved it from Chicago to Rosemont. A lifelong comics fan, his own collection includes several rare and old comic "ashcans" -- black-and-white prototypes created for the sole purpose of protecting legal claims on a character or property. Only a few copies were made of each issue and they were never meant for public distribution.
The Golden Tee authority is not retiring from coin-op yet. Colabuono has become the exclusive contract representative of IT's golf and bowling games to national marketers who might be interested in sponsoring videogame promotions. The upcoming Guinness Black Lager Golden Tee Sweepstakes, which kicks off on May 1, is his first project. Here, players can visit locations where participating Golden Tees reside and use those games to place their entries; or they can enter at the sweepstakes website.
Colabuono will be organizing and running promotions under GTG Marketing, which specializes in targeting male audiences 21 to 45 through custom integration, product placement and branding programs on Golden Tee. He can be reached at (847) 253-6096 or email@example.com

description: Have you always wanted to own a hovercraft but can't afford one? Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips might have the answer. Learn how you can build your own using plywood and a leafblower—and ride on air in no time!

transcript:
JONNY PHILLIPS: Part of the success of the new generation of hovercraft is that the companies that make them know their limitations, so they produce practical, reliable machines to fill a very defined niche in the market. Long gone are the fanciful dreams of the 1960s, that one day we'd all be riding round on our personal hovercraft.
RICHARD AMBROSE:  Hey Jonny!  I think you might be wrong there!  If you look close enough there's still a few dreamers out there.  What do you reckon?
JONNY PHILLIPS: Yeah, it's really cool, but what is it?
RICHARD AMBROSE: It's an Australian air board.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Yeah?  Can I have a go?
RICHARD AMBROSE: No.
NARRATOR: And it's no gimmick, it is a full-blown hovercraft, with a proper lift fan to get it airborne.  The only difference from a conventional hovercraft is it's got a hidden wheel that touches down to drive it forward, which is a bit of a cheat, but it's still pretty cool!
JONNY PHILLIPS: Now if you're sitting at home thinking you'd really like to own a hovercraft but don't want to spend a fortune buying one, we might just have the answer.
RICHARD AMBROSE: We're going to show you how you can build your own hoverboard for around 150 pounds.  All you need is a piece of plywood, some plastic sheeting, some drainpipe.
JONNY PHILLIPS: And a leaf blower.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Now this is what we've done.  We've attached a petrol driven leaf blower to a piece of plywood.  The air from the blower is gonna go down through this downpipe, through a hole in the board, to the underside.
JONNY PHILLIPS: This PVC sheeting is our improvised hovercraft skirt, or air chamber, and the air escaping through these holes that we've made will hopefully provide the lift to get us off the ground.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Now let's put it down and I'm gonna fire it up mate, OK?
NARRATOR: The air cushion provided by the blower lifts the heavy plywood board and 100 kilograms of Jonny off the ground with ease.
RICHARD AMBROSE: Right, I'm gonna give you a push and let you go, yeah?  Go!
JONNY PHILLIPS: And because there's very little contact with the floor, there's very little friction, which means all you need to do is apply a tiny force to go flying!
RICHARD AMBROSE: Johnny, it's working a treat!
NARRATOR: Now having a ride height of just a few centimeters means it wouldn't be very good on rough ground, but on a smooth polished gym floor, our do-it-yourself hovercraft is definitely a success!

Cambria Heights was originally a farming community which supplied produce to Brooklyn and Manhattan. It began developing in 1923 on 163 acres of land bought by Oliver B. LaFreniere, a real-estate agent. It acquired the name Cambria in about 1924 from its owner the 'Cambria Title Savings and Trust Company' a coal concern located in Cambria County, Pennsylvania. "Heights" was added because of the area's high elevation.
First populated by Jewish, German, Irish and Italian residents, the community became a predominantly Black, middle-class suburb after the Second World War. Present demographics reveal a community comprised predominantly of African Americans and West Indians.
Library service for the community began in 1930 with the establishment of a bookmobile stop on Linden Boulevard for one hour a week. The following year, the bookmobile moved to PS 147 where it provided service to the children for a few hours each week. Service expanded as demand grew leading eventually to the need for a regular library.
Campaign efforts by a committee of the Civic Association resulted in the opening on July 15, 1949 of a sub-branch in rental quarters on Linden Boulevard. In 1964, the rental facilities were expanded and upgraded to a new location, 220-20 Linden boulevard, where it remained until 2006.
The latest incarnation of the Cambria Heights library is a state-of-the-art facility located at 218-13 Linden Boulevard. Opened in 2006, the library offers computers, WiFi, programs and materials of all types for all ages.

CHARLOTTE – June 26, 2013 -- On July 1, the Charlotte 49ers will complete their move to Conference USA, a league that they were members of for a 10-year stint from 1995-96 through 2004-05. The 49ers will bid farewell to the Atlantic 10 Conference, of which they were member for eight years, from 2005-06 through 2012-13.
In the eight years in the Atlantic 10, Charlotte put up some stout numbers:
- 50 Atlantic 10 Conference Championships
- 18 NCAA Team trips and another 10 NIT appearances
- 40 NCAA Individual appearances
- 45 Atlantic 10 Players of the Year
- 29 Atlantic 10 Individual Sport Student-Athletes of the Year
- 7 Atlantic 10 Male or Female Scholar-Athletes of the Year
To put it in perspective, in the 49ers' eight years in the league, the conference, which included up to 16 teams, awarded 204 league championships in the sports Charlotte sponsors. Charlotte won 25 percent of the titles, more than any other school in the league. Also, the A-10 awarded 230 Player of the Year Awards over that span. Charlotte won 20 percent of those, more than any other school in the league.
In the six years that they awarded individual sport student-athletes of the year, 94 such honors were distributed. Charlotte won over 31 percent of them, more than any other school in the league. In the six years that they awarded a Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, 12 such individuals earned honors. Seven were 49ers. No other school had more than two.
The 49ers won an average of six league titles per year, including a high of eight in 2007-08 when baseball and women's soccer swept regular-season and tournament titles and in 2008-09 when women's soccer enjoyed another sweep and women's basketball claimed the tournament title in Halton Arena. In 2005-06 and in 2008-09, a high of seven different 49ers programs won league titles.
Men's Golf, Women's Indoor Track and Women's Outdoor Track each won seven of a possible eight league titles during the 49ers stay in the A-10. In fact, after just eight years in the league, the 49ers own conference records for most league titles in each of those sports: golf, women's indoor track and women's outdoor track. The 49ers men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field programs combined to win an incredible 23 of a possible 32 league championships.
Overall, 11 different 49ers programs won an A-10 league title; 13 sports boasted an A-10 Player of the Year and 11 had a sport Student-Athlete of the Year.
Along the way, Charlotte reached the NCAA National Championship game in men's soccer in 2011 and boasted back-to-back top 10 finishes at the NCAA Golf Championships, including a third-place finish in 2007. Additional NCAA tournament victories, Top 25 victories and a slew of all-America performances vaulted the 49ers program to the top of the league.
In the A-10, Charlotte battled with the likes of Xavier and Dayton, Richmond and George Washington, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Fordham and St. Bonaventure, Temple and La Salle, Saint Joseph's and Saint Louis and ultimately VCU and Butler. On June 30, the 49ers' eight-year membership in the Atlantic 10 Conference ends. For Charlotte, it was an era marked by excellence:

Uniprotect PT-3 supports your body's ability to repair itself at the cellular level. The natural oat peptide complex promotes the production of collagen, the protein that provides structure and firmness to your skin. Vitamin C helps to repair the damage caused by past sun exposure and then brightens and evens your complexion. Shea butter deeply conditions your skin.
The brand is proud of what it doesn't contain, too. The line is free of parabens, petrochemicals, and fragrances and all of the products are cruelty-free. Supergoop never includes oxybenzone in
its formulas. The chemical oxybenzone is an ultraviolet filter and is commonly used in sunscreens and recent studies have indicated that the risks outweigh the UV-blocking benefits, as oxybenzone could interfere with hormone production. Another study suggests that by absorbing oxybenzone, skin may exhibit free radical damage. Thus, all of the products from Supergoop! are oxybenzone-free.
Supergoop! products make it possible for you to continue enjoying the great outdoors
anytime you want without having to worry about getting sunburned, increasing your risk of melanoma, or weakening your skin's resilience in any way. The products are easy to use, gentle on the skin, and perform well when used properly. Recognized for its innovative spirit and exceptional sun care formulas, Supergoop! products have received the CEW Indie Beauty Award for 2012! Try them today and help lower your chances of developing skin cancer in the future.
Whether you need protection every day or just on those occasions when you are going to be
experiencing prolonged sun exposure, the full collection is just waiting for your decision as to which item best meets your needs.
