Inside court: Kilpatrick trial day 57
Testimony continues in trial against former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick
DETROIT – We are about to start Friday morning for an abbreviated session that ends at noon.
On Thursday night, the news involved Kwame Kilpatrick's wife, Carilta Kilpatrick, had sent letters out requesting $20,000 toward the schooling of her twin boys. It's not illegal for her to do so but it has to be reported to the Department of Corrections per Kwame's restitution payment agreement.

Friday morning continues with the testimony of former Synagro Technologies executive James Rosendall who testified Thursday to paying bribes in order to secure a $1.1 billion contract with the city of Detroit.
9:06 a.m. US Attorney Michael Bullotta questioning witness James Rosendall.
Talking about the video yesterday outside Kwames complex. Rosendall says after leaving Bernard Kilpatrick, he went to his bank and got $2,500 out of his account. Didn't go through FBI because it would have taken too long. Then called Bernard that same day, March 5th, 2008, to meet with him again.
More video that day when Rosendall went back to meet Bernard. Rosendall says he thinks at this point he was coming back from the bank.
Rosendall can be heard asking about cameras though he himself is wired with one. Very blurry upwards shot of Bernard. Rosendall saying that he has done everything "you guys" have asked from him.
Rosendall can be heard telling Bernard that he has "25" for him that came from his own account. Don't see the actual, physical cash.
Bernard talking about Adolph, Hunt. all those guys. "The one guy that made this thing happen," says Bernard. Saying he made the contract happen.
Rosendall says Adolph is a consultant but doesn't know his last name. Hunt is Jeff Hunt also a consultant. Bernard also mentions "Victor", Victor Mercado former director of DWSD.
They also talk about working with "Ray", Rayford Jackson. Rosendall refers back to the Manoogian party.
"That's for being there .... You scared the shit out of me that one day at the restaurant ..." says Rosendall. Rosendall says he was referring to conversation at Southern Fires about blowing up the house, aka the Synagro contract.
"I was pissed," says Bernard. "Cool as me and this guy is. I could have him not blow it up ... but you know, stop it for a year, stop it for 2 years"
"Him" in the conversation is Kwame, testifies Rosendall. And the witness further says that is Bernard was talking about stalling the deal.
Defense attorney Jim Thomas objects. Bullotta asks for sidebar.
Rosendall says Bernard was talking about stopping the permits for the deal. The witness says that delays in the project would cause substantial financial loss.
April 14, 2008, Bernard and Rosendall met at a different pancake restaurant in Southfield. Rosendall believes he gave Bernard $2,500 that came from the FBI. The FBI also reimbursed the witness for the earlier amount.
Rosendall pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery. His sentence was capped at 11 months. He served 11 months and paid a $250,000 fine. Rosendall still has another year on supervised release. Bribery was money he paid Bernard and Monica Conyers. Rosendall says he has cooperated on other investigations besides this one.
Judge says jury should be aware that she was not sentencing judge for Rosendall.
9:24 a.m. John Shea, Bernard's lawyer, cross examines.
Asking about 2001 when Rosendall worked for Synagro and was interested in taking over the Minergy contract. Rosendall confirms it was a complicated deal. Rosendall says the city of Detroit was landfilling material as waste management at the time and incinerating some of it. Part of waste management was done "in house."
Shea says it is an expensive process to undertake waste management for a city. Rosendall agrees.
Shea says part of the idea of privatizing was to save the city some money. Rosendall agrees.
Shea says it could be win win for the city and the company contracted. Correct says Rosendall.
Shea says it's a big deal for Synagro but Rosendall as well who had a big compensation package tied in. Rosendall says he would have made a couple of million dollars over 25 years. Rosendall owned some of the land that the facility would have been built on. Rosendall would have made around $1 million from the sale of that piece of property.
Rosendall agrees that the deal was very important to me.
The process took years for the deal from inception to processing says Shea, about 6 1/2 years. Rosendall agrees.
Synagro announced the purchase of the Minergy contract in November 2003 but didn't close it until 2007. Rosendall proposed the idea to state rep Kwame in 2001.
Shea talking about how Synagro wanted to change the Minergy contract because it wasn't cost-effective as it was written. Correct says Rosendall.
Contract had to be reviewed by DWSD, water board, City Council. Rosendall says if it had happened before 2005 the mayor would have had the power to authorize it and it wouldn't have had to go through all those steps.
Rosendall agrees that was the regulatory process.
Rosendall again agrees that he though this project had real value.
Shea says and the administration feedback was that they thought it was going to be a good deal. Win-win.
But says Shea no one thought it would have been easy to go though.
"If the mayor still had his special powers it would have been much easier," says Rosendall about the Special Administrator powers over water contracts.
Rosendall agrees there were concerns with unions. Rosendall also agrees that there was some concern that community members weren't going to like the project. Rosendall agrees that they anticipated some neighborhood opposition. Synagro also expected some opposition due to political issues- city government's take on unions, neighborhoods' concerns.
Shea says so Synagro and the administration had an eye on addressing community concerns.
In 2002, Kwame told Rosendall that Derrick miller would be his primary contact on the contract. Shea says that Rosendall talked to Miller about the community piece. Rosendall doesn't recall that but recalls discussing minority representation.
Shea asks if Rosendall recalls Miller recommending he use Bernard for community outreach. Rosendall says he recalls talking to miller about community outreach and minority representation but doesn't recall him recommending taking on Bernard as a consultant.
Shea asking about the Lansing consulting firm Synagro had. They liaised between governmental departments and private companies. Rosendall doesn't know if they had a Detroit office.
Shea says so wouldn't it be helpful to have local people assisting them. Rosendall says they had local people helping them.
But says Shea people who were familiar with the local political landscapes. Rosendall agrees that would have been helpful.
Shea asks is Bernard was experienced with political landscape of Wayne County and Detroit.
"I don't know about experience but I know he was connected," says Rosendall.
Rosendall saying he didn't know Bernard was involved in Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick's political campaigns.
Shea says wouldn't you agree someone with that experience would be valuable with community outreach. Yes says Rosendall.
Shea says so you are introduced to Bernard in late 2003, early 2004 at the Manoogian Mansion but within a week he turned you over to Rayford Jackson.
"I think I said a week or two," says Rosendall.
Isn't it true you worked with Bernard for 5 or 7 months before he turned you to Jackson. I don't recall says Rosendall.
Rosendall agrees he started working with FBI very shortly after the pulled him over on Jan. 22, 2008.
Shea says you met with feds at least weekly. "On a weekly basis," says Rosendall. Rosendall agrees he had quite a few meetings.
Shea hands Rosendall a document to read. Report for August 2nd 2008. Shea asks if that refreshes his recollection as to when he was referred by Bernard to Rayford. Rosendall says it does not.
Rosendall does agree that he may be wrong about it only being a week or two after meeting Bernard that he was referred to Rayford.
Shea asks if Rosendall asked Bernard to set up meeting with Mercado in early 2004.
"I may have, yes," says Rosendall. But he doesn't recall exactly.
Shea hands Rosendall another document. Shea asks if that refreshes his memory about meeting request.
"I did request a meeting, yes" says Rosendall after reading the report.
Looking at a text exchange between Mike Tardiff, mayoral aide, and Bernard on February 18th 2004.
Tardiff: Cool hey jr was wondering if you could set up a meeting with victor early next week.
Bernard: I am working on that now.
Tardiff: Let me know if I can help.
Bernard: will do.
Feb. 19, 2004 between Rosendall and Tardiff.
Rosendall: Anything from Victor or BK yet?
Tardiff: Victor is setting something up for next week. His people are working on it.
Synagro had an issue with "BK" being too close to the mayor, agrees Rosendall. Synagro was concerned that from a PR standpoint it wasn't a good idea. And that's the reason why says Shea about taking on Jackson.
"That and BK," says Rosendall.
Rosendall says he discussed it with Bernard and he understood.
Shea says even when Rosendall was referred to Jackson, Bernard maintained a financial agreement with the deal. There was an arrangement between Jackson and Bernard. Shea says so witness came to understand it was a 50/50 agreement. Yes says Rosendall.
Shea says that even when Jackson came on board, Bernard remained in a background sense. Rosendall agrees.
Shea mentions that in the Southern Fires recording, Bernard can be heard saying that Jackson didn't have the contacts with the DWSD and administration that he did.
Shea says that Bernard was doing what he could to move the deal forward.
Shea says at the time you lived in Grand Rapids.
"The suburbs," says Rosendall.
Rosendall agrees that he would come to Detroit on a weekly basis and frequently scheduled business lunch meetings.
Shea says they included Bernard.
"Some of them, yes," says Rosendall.
Many of them asks Shea included both Jackson and Bernard? "I wouldn't say that," answers Rosendall.
Shea approaches the witness with more documents. Rosendall looking at expense receipts for meals that were submitted on the Synagro expense account. On each receipt, it lists who Rosendall had a meal with.
Looking at a receipt for Sinbads on St. Clair for $10.23 at 1:39 p.m. June 8, 2005. Had cranberry juice, lemonade, diet coke and a cup of clam chowder. Lists with Bernard.
July 5, 2005 at Sinbads with Bernard for $21.15.
Another receipt on august 23rd 2005 for $54.21 with tip. Looks like he only paid a $2 tip! Both Jackson and Bernard.
October 2005 at Fishbones. Bernard and Rosendall.
November 2005 at Sinbads. Tardif Syope, Bernard, Rayford Jackson for $137.79.
January 31, 2006 Southern Fires with Bernard, Tardiff, John Francis and John Ronco for $138.83.
April 17, 2006 at Sinbads with Bernard, Jackson for $112.
April 2006 Sinbads again Bernard, Tardiff, Jackson.
May 9, 2006 at Sinbads $96 with Bernard, Tardiff and Jackson.
10:10 a.m. Shea says you had a lot of meetings with Bernard and Jackson. "I had a lot of meeting s with Jackson," says Rosendall but then acknowledges that Bernard was often there.
At some point in the summer of 2007, Jackson, Bernard and Rosendall started discussing modifying agreement to include akunna Olumba. Yes says Rosendall.
Shea says one reason was to have her participate in minority solicitation. "I believe that was the case, yes," says Rosendall.
The other says Shea to protect Bernard's interest with Jackson to have it flow through Olumba. "That was the prime reason," says Rosendall.
Shea says you told Bernard and Olumba you were working on that as of August 2007? Yes says Rosendall.
Shea says Jackson did not want to modify his agreement? I believe that's correct says Rosendall.
Shea says so you didn't advance the idea with Synagro. "That's correct," says Rosendall.
Rosendall says he had discussions with Pam Racey, a Synagro executive, about it. Totally contradicting himself.
Shea says you were telling Bernard you were working on it but you were not advancing it. Yes says Rosendall.
Shea says Rosendall told Jackson he was stringing Bernard along. "I believe I had that conversation," says Rosendall.
Shea wants to play a series of recordings. First, Oct. 4, 2007 at 6:20 p.m.
Jackson saying he doesn't want Olumba and Bernard agreement modifications.
"I'll play that thing out and string him along," says Rosendall to Jackson on the recording.
"He's not going to be able to stop that man from signing the deal," says Jackson. Talking about Bernard not being able to stop Kwame. Rosendall agrees that is what is being said.
Next, Dec. 10, 2007 recording.
"BK hasn't called you?" asks Jackson.
"Don't bring that up! I'm knocking on wood," replies Rosendall
"Last time he talked to you, he didn't bring me up?"
Rosendall talks about "playing it out."
Jackson says, "And what did you say? He's been under so much stress?" Shea says that Rosendall may have suggested Jackson was under so much stress to Bernard.
"I just downplay it," says Rosendall. Rosendall agrees this is about amending the agreement.
Shea brings up a possible trucking contract with Bernard if the Synagro facility went operational.
"We talked about the sub-contract. Really, I tried to keep the conversation on the sub-contract," says Rosendall.
"Right, right," says Jackson.
Dec. 20, 2007, talking about voicemail from Bernard. Shea says you call Jackson about that voicemail. Here is a recording of that conversation.
"BK just left me a message," says Rosendall.
Talks about how he said he was on vacation until Jan. 7.
"Vacation or no vacation, motherfucker call me or something like that," says Rosendall.
"Really, really?" asks Jackson repeatedly.
Rosendall says what he told him last he was meeting with CEO. Shea says so you were going to lie to Bernard and tell him you met the CEO on Dec. 19 in Philly
"Alvin brought agreement with Ray and before any changes are made Ray has to sign off on it...." Rosendall discussing what he will tell Bernard.
Jackson suggests he tell Bernard that one of the reasons he can't do anything is because Jackson is under investigation and that the General Counsel was handling all Jackson matters.
"That was a lie," says Shea. Rosendall agrees.
Shea says so you and Jackson scheme about how to put Bernard off modifying the agreement. Rosendall agrees.
10:33 a.m. Time for a 20 minute break.
10:52AM Judge Nancy Edmunds reenters the courtroom.
Shea plays a new recording from December 20th 2007, later the same day as the last one.
Sounds like Bernard is huffing and puffing. "I'm on the treadmill," says Bernard. "Trying to get some of this off."
Rosendall can be heard telling Bernard that he met the CEO in Philadelphia which he did not. This conversation is shortly after conversation with Jackson. Rosendall says the agreement has been taken out of his hands. Rosendall saying that Synagro paid Jackson more than $230,000 over the last 6 months. Rosendall also says they have made some sort of agreement. Rosendall says that General Counsel has asked him not to get involved in the agreement. "That signing thing was supposed to be applied towards that," says Rosendall. Shea says that Synagro wasn't holding up signing fees because of the $230,000 already paid that was an excuse. Rosendall agrees. "So akunna's thing is out there?" says Bernard. "I'm afraid they're going to ask a lot of questions....cuz you can't have 2 agreements out there..." says Rosendall. Shea says so you are giving more lies about why the agreement isn't going forward. Alvin Thomas is mentioned, counsel for Synagro. "So that leaves Akunna and me out for Christmas," says Bernard. Bernard says he had heard that Jackson was already paid and that is why he left "the terse message." Bernard says he heard that Jackson is negotiating with Jenkins.
Bernard saying they want it all their way- "Ray has outslicked everyone it looks like." "in that kind of deal he outslicked you," says Bernard. Shea says that Bernard is postulating that Jackson has manipulated the process and put him out in the cold financially. Rosendall agrees with Bernard. But Shea says that just previous to this conversation Rosendall and Jackson discussed the issue. "I did not tell him that," says Rosendall. Rosendall overheard telling Bernard that he wants to meet him for 5 minutes. Bernard says he'll be at the Milinder Center and will be done at 1pm. They decide to meet in the parking lot outside his office at 1pm. Shea says Rosendall testified yesterday that they met in the parking lot because Bernard was worried about the office being bugged. But in fact it was your suggestion. Rosendall agrees it was his suggestion to meet in the lot for 5 minutes. That may be true but in the recording Bernard can also be overheard saying there are things he doesn't want to talk about on the phone. Recording. Rosendall again talking to Jackson. Relays the conversation he just had with Bernard. Shea says that in this conversation he is reporting back to Jackson to say that he has carried out the plan discussed. Yes says Rosendall. Going back to the December 4th 2007 recording at the Original House of Pancakes. Rosendall met with Bernard and Olumba at that meeting and discussed the split and the "success fee". Signing bonus which was supposed to occur pretty soon after city contract was approved on November 20th 2007. Shea says at this time Bernard was broke and needed this money. Rosendall says yes. Rosendall agrees that he encouraged Bernard's belief that he would get his half of the signing bonus by Christmas. Now going to parking lot meeting. Saying that Bernard is upset because the agreement is not getting reworked and he isn't getting paid. Shea says Bernard said that comment about "blowing up the house" in the parking lot. Rosendall agrees. I think that comment was made at the Southern Fires restaurant.
11:15AM Phone call from December 20th 2007. Same date as previous 2 recordings. Sounds like Rosendall is talking to Pam Racey, Synagro executive based in Baltimore who oversaw Detroit. Racey asks about how things are going down there. Rosendall says there is an agreement he wasn't aware of that was supposed to take place between Jackson, Olumba and Bernard. Also says that Jackson is cutting them out financially. "There's a little pissing contest going on between them," says Rosendall. "She's pissed," says Rosendall about Olumba when he met her. Shea says there are a number of things that you told Racey that are untrue. Correct says Rosendall. Lists them: that you met Olumba that day, that you knew nothing about Olumba and Bernard agreement, that it was the first you knew about Jackon cutting them out. "As far as I'm concerned, you didn't have a deal with BK," says Rosendall that he told Jackson. Racey asking Rosendall how Bernard got hooked up in this. Rosendall says he will call Alvin and get on this. "It sounds like they all have had a little bit of a falling out," says Rosendall claiming he didn't know anything about it. "It's been, shit, 8 or 9 months since we were all out together," says Rosendall about Jackson and Bernard. Shea says the "falling out" is between Jackson, Olumba and Bernard. "And the mayor," says Rosendall. Shea says Jackson's job was to deal with City Council. Yes says Rosendall. Shea says there were a number of interviews with police and that Rosendalkl never mentioned in any of them Jackson and Kwame's relationship going south. "I don't know if this is something worth getting our underwear in a knot. What is the worst that can happen to us," says Rosendall. Racey says that Rosendall has to remember how they got to this place with the contract. If Jackson wants to deal with them in the future, says Racey, he has to honor his obligations. "Morally it's not right," agrees Rosendall with Racey. Conversation form January 2nd 2008. 2 weeks after December 20th conversation.
Talking to Racey to see if she had talked to Jackson yet. Racey says she is set for conversation at 2pm.
Rosendall asks if she is set. Racey says she is going to tell him that "these folks brought you to the table" and there are important things coming up like permits.
Racey says that Jackson will have to take care of them. She means Bernard.
Shea says so it is a discussion that Jackson has an obligation to Bernard. Rosendall agrees.
Another recording from January 9th 2008 at 6:55pm.
"I'm at a total loss with this thing," Rosendall can be overheard saying.
Racey saying that she thinks it's going to be done by the end of February. Racey says that if Jackson doesn't take care of things like he should, just give him a deadline.
Shea so it sounds like Racey and Rosendall are on the same page about getting Bernard on the deal and Jackson is resisting.
"Pigs get fat and have to be slaughtered," Rosendall can be overheard telling Racey.
Racey says she doesn't know how he even has the cajunas (thinks she means cojones) to do this. She is talking about Jackson.
Racey musing why Kwame doesn't have something to do with conversation. Rosendall tells her he is not involved in it.
"Alvin's on board... He'll play hardball...," says Rosendall. Alvin is Synagro's counsel. Talking about playing hardball with Jackson.
Shea says that Jackson is never brought around to honor the agreement with Bernard. "No, it never materialized," says Rosendall.
11:35AM Shea talking about $5,000 in cash that Rosendall gave Bernard.
December 20th 2007 5:26PM phone conversation.
Rosendall talking to Bernard about a call to Jackson going out tomorrow. Says CEO is calling Jackson.
"Everybody is on board to resolve it," says Rosendall.
Shea says that 45 minutes earlier you had talked to Racey and she was on board but not true that CEO was going to call Jackson. Rosendall agrees.
"I wanted to let you know that things are moving along," says Rosendall.
"Did folks send you anything?" asks Bernard.
"I think they are supposed to take care of that tomorrow," says Rosendall.
"Did they have her stuff?" asks Bernard.
Oh my I think we just heard the toilet flushing.
Shea says that Bernard was awaiting payment into Olumba's account, the success fee. Again Shea says you are not really working on it.
Rosendall says that Racey is involved in trying to resolve things.
"At the end of the day he never would have been involved without you," says Rosendall.
Shea says at the end of the conversation Bernard thinks that "they", I'm assuming that's Bernard and Olumba, are going to get some money. Rosendall agrees.
Another recording.
Rosendall is in Florida vacation on December 21st 2007.
"I landed about 20 minutes ago and my phone has been busing up," says Rosendall
Rosendall says that he has just spoken with Olumba and she is going to mail him an invoice. Rosendall says he has to get it from her and they are going to send it.
Rosendall tells Bernard that Alvin is finishing up the documents" to get the payment processed
"So you guys are all straight," says Rosendall.
Now Shea is showing yesterday's government exhibit of the Black Onyx, Olumba's company, dated December 21st 2007 to the amount of $5,000. Shea says this is the invoice she submitted in response to the telephone conversation just listened to.
She says this is a far cry from half of the $150,000 discussed on December 4th.
Looking at email from December 21st 2007 from Olumba to Rosendall.
Shea says that $5,000 did not get paid before Christmas or after Christmas either. No says Rosendall.
Shea says you told Bernard to Southern Fires meeting on January 29th 2008 that you were bringing money to apply to invoice. Rosendall says that he said that he was bringing money but not necessarily to apply towards the invoice.
Looking at portion of transcript of the Southern Fires meeting.
"I thought you told me you were gonna, you told me you had a check for me today," says Bernard about the expectation for money.
Bernard says he wants a check,
"Yeah i thought that you was bringing a check. that we talked about in December..." says Bernard.
Shea says so they turned away the cash so the $5,000 invoice is still outstanding. Shea says that Olumba put in an invoice on December 21st 2007 and it wasn't paid at the Southern fires meeting on January 29th 2008. No says Rosendall.
And at the March 5th 2008 meeting it hadn't been paid. "I don't believe so," says Rosendall.
Shea says that Rosendall had 2 personal encounters with Bernard on March 5th. Yes says Rosendall.
Rosendall says he will be gone for a few weeks but that he can swing back through. Shea says that the same $5,000 that had been requested and not paid between December 21st and March 5th. Yes says Rosendall.
Shea says it's the same $5,000 you finished paying on April 17th 2008. Yes says Rosendall.
11:59AM Shea says he has about 20 minutes left so it's a good stopping point.
Judge Edmunds dismisses the jurors and wishes them a good long weekend.
No court Monday for Martin Luther King Day. Cort resumes Tuesday, January 22nd at 9AM.

Parking in the middle of the desert and setting up the system in just 45 minutes, the Raytheon crew flew the UAV for four hours during which time it was able to maintain communication with both Army and Navy computer systems. Raytheon still has to outfit their device with a new custom jet engine to qualify for contract consideration, but their KillerBee takes a heck of a photograph all the same:

With less than three months to go to until the driving test changes, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has published new videos about the updated 'show me, tell me' driving test questions.
During the test, examiners ask candidates two vehicle safety questions - these are known as the 'show me, tell me' questions. Currently, both questions are asked at the start of the test, but from December 4 2017, candidates will have to carry out the 'show me' question while they are driving.
Lesley Young, DVSA chief driving examiner, said: "DVSA's priority is to help you through a lifetime of safe driving.
"Asking a 'show me' question while driving will be valuable preparation for real life driving.
"With less than 3 months to go until the driving test changes, it's important that learner drivers work with their driving instructor to make sure they can operate the in car-controls safely whilst they're driving. Combined with practice with an instructor, these new official videos will help you learn the skills you need to do these tasks."
The two new videos released by DVSA show how to carry out these basic safety tasks. They will prepare new drivers for regularly carrying them out after they have passed their test, helping them keep their vehicle safe to drive all-year-round.
In the new test, the examiner will ask the 'tell me' question (where the candidate explains how they would carry out a safety check) at the start of their test, before they start driving. They include things like explaining how they would check the oil levels for the engine or how to check the tyres are legal and safe.
Then later in the test, the candidate will be asked a 'show me' question while they are driving - for example, showing how to wash the windscreen and operate the wipers. The questions test whether candidates can carry out the sort of everyday basic safety tasks drivers need to be able to do while driving.
The agency has also updated its 'DVSA official guide to learning to drive' book to include all the new elements of the practical test. This edition will be available to buy from September 18, from www.safedrivingforlife.info/shop or most online or high street bookshops.
Carly Brookfield, chairman of the steering group for national approved driving instructor associations (NASP), said: "Whilst in-car, on the road practice with a professional driver trainer is an important part of delivering safer drivers for life to our busy roads, we also recommend the use of supplementary learning resources such as 'how-to' videos from authoritative sources in driver education.
"DVSA's new 'show me, tell me' and other recent videos highlighting key developments to the practical driving test are a really helpful resource for learners - not only in preparing them for the new test, but also for a life time of safe driving."
If a candidate loses, control of the car whilst answering the 'show me' question it will result in a serious or dangerous fault, meaning the candidate fails the test.
A 'driving fault' will be incurred by the candidate if they answer both the 'show me' and the 'tell me' questions incorrectly.
The four changes to the driving test are: increasing the independent driving part of the test to 20 minutes;
most candidates will be asked to follow directions from a sat nav; changing the reversing manoeuvres that are tested and answering a vehicle safety question while driving.
More information about the changes is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/news/driving-test-changes-4-december-2017

• The press feed must be flexible in its setup adjustment, to accommodate the full range of material thicknesses and widths that may run in that press.
• The feed line must deliver material with sufficient precision, not only moving the required amount of material into the die but also placing it precisely right to left and front to back, and squarely to the tool.
• The feed line must index the material at the proper time, while maintaining the speed requirements of the stamping operation.
In addition to these fundamental requirements, many other considerations will ultimately determine the effectiveness of the feed line. These include the amount of time and skill required for job setup, how the feed interfaces with the operator, and how the feed interfaces with the press and other ancillary devices within the system.
Roll and Gripper Feeds—Compared and Contrasted
Metalformers select among two basic types of feeds for indexing continuous coil—roll feeds and gripper feeds. During the last 20 years, servo-driven roll feeds have become the dominant solution for press feeding. Servo roll feeds operate independently from the press and can be programmed to index the material in a that optimizes the output of each die that runs in the press. Stampers can customize the feed recipe for each die, setting parameters such as the starting point of the index, rate of acceleration, maximum velocity, rate of deceleration and ending point of the index.
The human-machine interface is a critical feature of servo-driven roll feeds, enabling control and communication between the operator and the press.
The flexibility of a servo-driven roll feed also proves beneficial, to ensure the material index occurs in the proper window of time allowed by the press, as well as other operations occurring. These include part transfer, die-protection sensing, in-die welding or assembly, and part ejection processes.
A critical feature of the servo-driven roll feed is the human-machine interface (HMI)—the device that allows the operator to program and control the servo feed, and that allows the servo feed to communicate important information back to the operator and press. Servo-feed HMIs and the associated control systems range in sophistication from simple-to-use keypads to process-specific operator interfaces, to fully flexible and programmable touchscreens. Press feed manufacturers offer varying levels of memory, communications capability, machine-setup automation and integration with the system, depending on the level of investment. Some fundamental requirements of the HMI and control system:
• Provide job memory storage;
Servo feed with material-support table and motorized passline-height adjustment.
• Allow programmable move patterns;
• Provide system troubleshooting and error reporting;
• Record batch counting and production monitoring data; and
• Allow for easy die threading through various jogging functions.
Move Profiles
With continued advances in servo-control technology, servo-driven roll feeds now feature a variety of move profiles to further optimize certain feeding applications. These move profiles include trapezoid-shaped, s-curve shaped and press-profile feeding.
The trapezoid-shaped profile—most commonly used—meets most application requirements and can deliver high-performance output. However, it comes with the trade-off of sharp velocity transitions, called "jerk points." These jerk points occur at the beginning, middle and end of each index of the coil strip as the feed transitions between the acceleration, velocity and deceleration portions of its move profile. This can cause slight witness marks on the material, unacceptable in some cosmetic nonmarking applications.
To avoid witness marking, metalformers can use s-curve acceleration move profiles. Here, the feed makes gradual transitions in velocity, with high acceleration and deceleration in the interim. This profile avoids jerk points and the increased potential for material damage.
Press-profile feeds are electronically geared to the press so that the feeder acceleration and velocity follow the press as it quickens or slows. These feeds require an additional feedback device, such as an encoder or resolver, mounted to the press crank to monitor press rotation and speed.
No Discussion of Press Feeding Would be Complete
…without mentioning pilot release— the act of momentarily releasing the strip so it can be aligned by the pilot pins in a progressive or blanking die. The pilot pins correct for slight misfeeds by pulling the material into final position for forming or blanking. This momentary release helps to relieve built-up stress and binding of the strip through the feed and die due to misalignment or camber. It also alleviates potential "walking" problems of the coil strip as it moves through the die.
Most servo-driven roll feeds include an air-operated pilot-release mechanism. To optimize pilot-release timing and performance, also select a mechanism with adjustable stroke. Correct timing of the roll opening and closing is critical to a successful pilot release—made easier if it's easily adjusted for each tool.
Servo feed with cabinet and self-centering edge guides.
Modern press controls typically use programmable cams to optimize the feed window and the pilot-release window for each die. Air-operated pilot-release mechanisms have a limited speed capability, although some units can attain speeds to 300 strokes/min. Some manufacturers offer servo-driven pilot release, an expensive feature but one that offers the advantage of being completely programmable and capable of very high speeds.
Mounting Options
Other basic considerations for any press-feeding application include the servo-feed mounting method, the material support system and the material guiding mechanism. These all contribute to the overall capability and effectiveness of the press-feeding system.
The three most common mounting methods for a servo roll feed are fixed-press mounting, adjustable-height mounting brackets, and floor-standing machine cabinets. For smaller servo feeds and more dedicated feeding applications, metalformers typically opt for fixed-press mounting—the most economical and practical solution. Here the feed bolts directly to the press; passline-height adjustment must be done after manually unbolting the machine and supporting the weight of the servo feed.
Press-mounted adjustable-height brackets offer the same floorspace savings, while also providing support of the servo feed—stampers adjust passline height with a hydraulic or screw jack, no tools required. Lastly, floor-standing machine cabinets typically find use for larger machines or for applications requiring ancillary equipment such as shears, oilers, or material-support tables to be mounted to the servo feed. Cabinets typically are provided with motorized passline-height adjustment and no-tool press-mounts.
Material Support and Guidance
The catenary section is the mechanism used to support the continuous coil as it enters the servo roll feed. In conventional coil lines where the material is straightened ahead of the servo feed, the catenary section must be designed to properly support the strip as it draws from the slack loop. Lacking the necessary radius and arc of support will increase the potential to re-induce coilset or damage the material. Blanking operations, as well as certain progressive-die applications that require the incoming coil strip to be flat, can be compromised by inadequate catenary-section design.
Responsibility for material guiding in most servo roll feeds falls to the edge guide, which must maintain the continuous coil strip on center and square to the feed rolls and die. Any misalignment of the strip to the feed rolls will result in tracking of the strip relative to the main axis of the feed rolls. Likewise, any misalignment of the strip to the die will increase the potential for short feed lengths and mishits.Like the other servo-feed devices, a variety of edge guides are available to meet the application and budget requirements for each job. Manually adjusted edge guides suit simple and dedicated feed setups; handcrank-adjusted edge guides find use for lines that require frequent changes in material width; and motorized and encoded edge guides often are used to free the operator from having to make these adjustments for each setup.

Boston, Mass. — Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute, a subsidiary of Mass. Eye and Ear and affiliate of Harvard Medical School, have discovered that VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), which is known to cause blood vessel growth, has a separate function. According to their study, VEGF seems to unexpectedly bind the receptor for another growth factor known as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and thereby prevent PDGF from binding. This discovery suggests that VEGF may contribute to the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), the most common serious side-effect of retinal re-attachment surgery. In PVR, an abnormal membrane forms on the surface of the newly re-attached retina and then proceeds to contract, which cause a secondary detachment.
This finding, published in the May issue of Molecular and Cellular Biology, is significant for two reasons, according to Dr. Andrius Kazlauskas, a Schepens senior scientist and principal investigator of the study. "First because it may ultimately give us a much-needed targets for drugs to prevent PVR, which has no treatment except another re-attachment surgery that often fails, causing severe vision loss. And second, because this unusual relationship of growth factors might also be occurring in other disorders."
Growth factors are proteins that stimulate the migration and proliferation of cells by binding to receptors on those cells, usually receptors specifically designated for the individual growth factor. In the case of PVR, there is strong evidence that growth factors in vitreous activate the PDGF receptor and thereby drive the abnormal membrane formation on the retina after retinal re-attachment surgery.
Each year, nearly 10 percent of the 40,000 Americans who undergo retinal re-attachment surgery develop PVR. While the cause is not well understood, scientists believe it may involve displaced cells from the back of the eye (released during the surgery or the original trauma) that become stimulated to organize into a destructive membrane by growth factors in the vitreous, the clear gel that fills the space between the retina at the back of the eye and the lens at the front of the eye.
In fact, previous research has shown that when PVR is present, the amount of a handful of growth factors in vitreous increases. Furthermore, cells in the PVR membrane express the PDGFR, which is activated by the vitreal growth factors and thereby stimulates cell proliferation, migration and the forming of cell matrixes.
"However, the mystery has been that the PDGFs don't seem to be binding very often or well with these receptors. When they do bind, the receptors self-destruct rather than activating the growth of the membrane characteristic of PVR, says Kazlauskas. "We decided there must be something else binding to these receptors that could be contributing to the formation of the PVR membrane."
Kazlauskas and his team decided to find out what. Through a series of experiments they discovered that when vitreous was present, PDGFs' ability to bind their "own" receptors was impaired. This finding suggested that vitreous from patients with PVR contained an agent that prevented PDGFs from binding to the receptor. The experiment that followed revealed that this was indeed the case, and that VEGF was the agent in vitreous that prevented PDGFs from binding their receptor.
This observation lit several light bulbs, according to Kazlauskas. "First it confirmed previous studies showing that VEGF and PDGF were structurally very similar. Furthermore, the new findings extended the relevance of the PDGF/VEGF relationship to a blinding eye disease.
"Second, it strengthened our emerging suspicion regarding which growth factors in vitreous of patients in PVR are the ones that drive this disease. Finally, it made us think about a new way to prevent PVR, i.e. by neutralizing VEGF," he says.
He adds, "This is particularly exciting because there already are safe and effective approaches to block VEGF, which have never been considered for PVR because they didn't make sense without understanding the relationship among the vitreal growth factors that came to light in the course of this study."
So the implications are promising. "By measuring the level of VEGF in the vitreous before surgery, we may be able to predict the likelihood of PVR happening for a specific individual," says Kazlauskas.
"And, of course, the real hope is that anti-VEGF drugs or compounds might someday be able to prevent the disease altogether, eliminating the fear of this complication for patients," he adds.
According to Kazlauskas, the next steps for him and his team will involve investigating the impact of anti-VEGF compounds to see if they can actually prevent or arrest the development of PVR."
Steven Pennock, PhD, at Schepens Eye Research Institute, was the first author of the study, which is titled Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A Competitively Inhibits Platelet- Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)-Dependent Activation of PDGF Receptor and Subsequent Signaling Events and Cellular Responses.

We are your Columbus Team Building Specialists
Not in Columbus? Team building activities near you
Understanding the various behavior styles people typically demonstrate can make the difference between great success and dismal failure. It is that important. This program will give you the tools to interact effectively with the people in your office, your vendors and perhaps most importantly: your customers.
This training module is a dynamic group activity that will keep your people engaged and thinking throughout. By the end of the session, each person will understand the strengths, challenges, likes, dislikes and motivations of their own individual behavior style. Better still, they will also come to know the same things about the other three primary behavior types! This is incredibly useful information to have, both personally and professionally.
Play a game where your entire team can interact in a fun way where they will learn to be effective with each other. Everyone involved will become intimate with the strengths, challenges, motivation points and behavior styles of each team member. This process turbocharges your staff and allows them to understand how to work together to create better results as a group. And a team that KNOWS how to work together is a team that excels!
The training hybrid of the behavior matrix combines the most accessible and best elements of several different behavior classification methodologies.
The DISC Assessment tool (Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness) has many great aspects. Some similar concepts will be featured in the Behavior Style 360 Degree Matrix Module.
The Meyers Briggs Type Indicator, MBTI, is a complex and potentially overwhelming classification system. There are some great elements in the system, but to do it justice would involve dedicated study lasting many days. 16 distinct styles are too many for most groups to properly absorb in a short time. That being said, MBTI devotees will be able to effectively absorb the information in this program while staying in alignment with their MBTI classification.
PSI Seminars and their behavior matrix are also a source of inspiration for our training model. Lastly, the MDI behavioral profile and their color model is also paid homage to with the Behavior Style 360 Degree Matrix Module. Participants who have already learned their behavior types will be able to integrate their learning and augment their training.
The driving principle behind the course design is to make the information both fun and accessible. Our approach is to make sure people can actually USE the information presented. Keeping your people engaged will mean they will walk away from the program armed with the knowledge of how to work effectively with anyone. Your people will also walk away with a fine-tuned 'answer key' that they can refer to in the future to stay on top. They will also use the information they are given to creatively develop real-world strategies to interact effectively with other behavior styles.
This program can be used to augment any of our other programs, or it can be delivered in a standalone package. The more time your people have to work with the concepts presented with the Behavior Style 360 Degree Matrix, the deeper their understanding will be of how to successfully interact with people inside and outside the office.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some of the questions commonly asked by students within the Architecture Program at GCC. If your question is not listed, please let the Architecture Department Chair know and it may be added to the next update.
In what sequence should I take the Architecture classes?
You may take architecture classes in any order as long as you have taken the proper pre-requisite classes prior to taking advanced classes. Click here for a pdf file that gives the recommended order.
A college level algebra class such as Math 100 is sufficient to complete the certificate/degree. For the Bachelors Degree in Architecture (B.Arch) a Trigonometry class is required.
What classes do you offer that will teach me about commercial construction?
The Architecture 130 and 135 classes are both commercial projects. The Arch 130 is a 9-Unit strip mall, single story. The Arch 135 is a two-story, concrete block or tilt-up building. Both of these projects require the design of a parking lot.
What classes do you offer that will teach me about residential construction?
The Architecture 101, 102, 120, and 125 classes are all residential design based. They vary from a small two-bedroom cabin to a 4-unit townhouse complex.
Will you help me with drawings for an outside project, such as a room addition?
The instructors can answer your questions during their office hours regarding any project. Realize that they do not have an infinite knowledge of architecture and some questions may be beyond their level of expertise.
What do drafters and architects earn per year?
If you look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, there are listings of average earnings and descriptions of various career fields. Be sure to also check based on the region of the country that you are interested in.
How do I know if an architecture school is accredited? What does accreditation mean?
If your plans upon graduation from an architecture school include earning a professional license, then you must attend a school that has been accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). This organization is the sole agency that is responsible to insure that an Architecture Program is accredited.
What colleges could I transfer to after I leave Glendale College?
There are many colleges and universities that have architecture programs. The only state college option in the Southern California area is Cal Poly Pomona. There are also private colleges that have Bachelor Degree programs in Architecture. One of the main concerns that the student should have is if the school of Architecture is accredited. Most programs in this area are impacted and require a high GPA to transfer. Check with each college/university to find their criteria.
Do any of the architecture classes transfer to a 4 or 5 year architecture school?
No. Most colleges require that you take the entire curriculum at their campus. The main reason for taking architecture classes at Glendale College is to gain the necessary experience needed to begin a Bachelors Degree program. Most schools require that the students already know the basics of drafting and the CAD software used at the school.
What kind of drafting equipment do I need to take a manual drafting class?
There is tool kit for sale at the Glendale College Bookstore. Be sure to purchase the kit for the Architecture classes. You may also purchase the tools individually from a drafting supply store.
Where can I buy Autodesk software? How much is it?
If you are a current full or part-time student you may download the software from the Autodesk Student Community web site. The software is free and is licensed for approximately 3 years. Use this web link to access to Autodesk Student Community. You will need a GCC email address to register for the site. Many Autodesk programs are available for download including AutoCAD 2011 and Revit Architecture 2011.
What is SketchUp and how can it help with my drafting/design classes?
This software is useful for the design phase of an architectural project. Currently this software is taught as part of the Arch 105 curriculum. You can download a free home version called Google Sketchup. This software is currently used at Cal Poly Pomona and other architecture schools.
What is a portfolio and why is it so important?
A portfolio is a collection of your best work. Most architecture schools prefer that the drawings in a portfolio are completed using manual drafting methods. They are also interested in other work such as sketches, photographs, artwork, and renderings. Anything that can demonstrate you design ability is appropriate. Be sure to check with the Architecture school that you are interested in for their specific requirements. The Architecture 240 class will help you assemble a portfolio of the work completed at GCC,
Where do I go on the website to find out specific information about a class?
On the main page of the Architecture webpage is a link to individual classes. Information such as class description, unit value, and transfer information is given. If you need specific information contact the instructor.
How can I find out when a class will be offered?
The best way is to ask the Department Chair, Dave Martin. You can also click on this link to see a pdf file that gives this information.
Where can I buy my own large format printer? How much do they cost?
The printer that is used in the Architecture lab is manufactured by Hewlett-Packard. Any large format printer with at least a capacity for a 24" roll can be used for architectural drawings. Click on this link for pricing information. There are also companies that sell used equipment at a considerable savings.

An exhibition of site-specific artworks by Andrea Arroyo will be on view at Maggie's Garden and Friendship Garden in Harlem, through October 31, 2017.
"Women with Wings" will feature a series of artworks inspired by the women of New York, including the historical and contemporary women who make Uptown Manhattan a diverse and vibrant community. Each piece, executed in mixed media and repurposed materials, is integrated within the natural environment of plants, grass and other elements of each garden. "Women with Wings" creates a multi-level conversation bridging local culture, nature and history that connects the past and the present.
Artworks include "Maggie's Pearls of Wisdom", a piece executed in acrylic, repurposed materials and beads, integrated with a Magnolia tree and inspired by the legacy of Maggie Burnett, beloved Harlem resident and founder of Maggie's Garden, and "Women in Movement" a piece featuring multiple women silhouettes on multiple wheels hanging from light posts inside the garden.

Samuel Gaines
Fra Gaines was a man of character and intellect, bright but unassuming. When he spoke at the ΣΑΜ fiftieth anniversary convention in New York he talked about education, about which all the Founders were passionate. He urged younger fraters never to cease learning and he quoted Newton D. Baker, who said "the man who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after." A scholar all his life, his curiosity was unending. He excelled in chemistry at CCNY where he won the coveted Chemistry Medal in 1912.
A scholar among scholars, he was one of the seven Founders who earned graduate degrees. That is an amazing fact, especially in the early 20th century when high school grads were considered "educated." When Sam Gaines graduated he went to Washington, D.C. where he worked first for the U.S. Bureau of Standards, then for the Bureau of Chemistry while earning his Master of Science degree in chemistry, which he received in 1914 from George Washington U. Following the four years in Washington, he became chemist and manager for a New Jersey firm which merged with National Starch and Chemical. There he was chief chemist and director of research and he perfected new production techniques.
In 1941 he became west coast supervisor in San Francisco. There he remained, having really had one employer all of his professional life; when he retired he was accorded the honorary title of "Chief Chemist Emeritus." The company is still in business. Movement to the west coast hardly dimmed Sam's ΣΑΜ involvement. In 1945 he helped reorganize Sigma Sigma chapter in Berkeley, in 1948 he was much in evidence at the Los Angeles Convention, in 1956 he was honorary chairman of the San Francisco Convention. In 1959 he spoke for the Founders at the 50th Anniversary Convention in New York. He passed away in 1960 at the age of 70. Sam took seriously Ira Lind's early reference to ΣΑΜ as a "family"; in 1916 he married the sister of a frater, and their youngest daughter later married a frater. When Gaines spoke in New York in 1959, he closed his remarks by saying simply, "Long live Sigma Alpha Mu." So be it.

text: RDS Girls Summer Showcase End of Season Review Tweet © The RDS Summer Showcase teams had their most successful season ever on the girls side, with some of the top talent featured from across the metro area. The 2005 age group, as well as a combined 2006/07 team, both finished first in two tournaments, the Central Jersey Invitational and MAPS CAPS tournament. The team's successes showed each players individual and collective commitment to the Red Bull philosophy, as the tactics were implemented by the younger players seamlessly. The older players on the girls team demonstrated leadership skills by encouraging their younger teammates and reinforcing tactics on the pitch. The head coaches of both teams felt a sense of pride about each of their sides play, "Seeing the girls gel so quickly, and play attractive and attacking soccer after such a short time together really shows how bright the future is for the Red Bull's Girls RDS program" said Brittian Wagner, head coach of the 2005/2006 team. "We're excited to build on this, and take the initiative to even higher levels next year." Kika Toulouse, head coach of the 2005's added "We were especially proud of how the entire range of girls bonded together over the summer. We wanted to keep the rosters small so the girls could get a lot of playing time, which gave everyone an opportunity to play up at some point. The girls consistently rose to the challenge, and represented themselves, and the club admirably." The next opportunity to earn consideration for the RDS Showcase Teams is through fall RDS try outs.

Watching a loved one go through the slow, difficult process of losing their memory due to Alzheimer's is often incredibly difficult for friends and family of those affected by the disease. Westchester Medical Center explains what causes the disease, how it is identified, and explores potential treatment options available in the near future.
Complex Causes
Contrary to what you may have heard, dementia (loss of intelligence due to a pathological cause) and Alzheimer's are not the same. "There are 81 causes of dementia, and Alzheimer's is just one of them," said Dr. Stephen Marks a neurologist and co-chief of Cerebrovascular Diseases and General Neurology at Westchester Medical Center, the flagship of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) in Valhalla. But at least in this part of the world, it's the major culprit: "Approximately 70 percent of the dementia that we see in the Western world is due to Alzheimer's," he explained.
What, then, causes Alzheimer's? "It's a complex answer; there seem to be two underlying events," said Marks. One is the accumulation in the brain of a protein called amyloid. However, the condition that seems to cause brain damage and lower intelligence is the presence of another protein, called tau.
Subtle Symptoms
Given how devastating a diagnosis of Alzheimer's is, it's understandable that people get nervous when they have a forgetful moment — say, they misplace their glasses —wondering if this might be the onset of the disease. The good news is that it almost certainly isn't, said Marks. "First of all, a lot of normal people put things down and then don't remember where they put them. And what's very common is that people who are exhibiting early signs of Alzheimer's are oblivious to it," he said. "So when I get a patient who comes in and is worried they may have Alzheimer's, they usually don't have it."
So what is cause for concern? "Repeating things that you said 5 or 10 minutes ago," said Marks. Though some people do this occasionally out of nervousness, "telling and retelling the same story to an audience is always a big concern."
Language skills themselves also may be impaired, and sufferers will find themselves fumbling about for the right word. "It's interesting: It's a subtle, 'Give me, uh, that thing you write with… the pen,'" said Marks. "We all do it a little bit, but people in the early stages of Alzheimer's use a lot of generalities when they talk sometimes."

Dr. Leonard M. "Myrt" Gaines Jr., a retired Baltimore internist, died June 26 from heart failure at Gilchrist Hospice Care in Towson, where he had volunteered for more than a decade. He was 86.
The son of a civil engineer and a homemaker, Leonard Myrton Gaines was born in Baltimore and raised on Darnall Road in Ruxton.
After attending Boys' Latin School for seven years, Dr. Gaines graduated in 1945 from Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., and he earned a bachelor's degree from Princeton University, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, in 1948.
Dr. Gaines was a 1952 graduate of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and then took two years of postgraduate training in internal medicine at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City.
From 1954 to 1956, Dr. Gaines served in the Air Force Medical Corps, attaining the rank of captain. He returned to Hopkins in 1956, completing his medical training and a fellowship in rheumatology in 1959.
From 1959 to 1994, when he retired, Dr. Gaines maintained a private practice at 7800 York Road in Towson.
In addition to his practice, Dr. Gaines remained on the part-time staff as an assistant professor of medicine at Hopkins and for many years taught clinical medicine to students and house officers at Johns Hopkins Hospital and several other hospitals.
Dr. Gaines was a member of the active staff from the first day Greater Baltimore Medical Center opened its doors to patients in 1965, and where he admitted most of his patients.
At GBMC, Dr. Gaines chaired the advisory committee of the department of medicine and chaired the credentials committee that approved new members of the staff and oversaw the rare disciplinary action.
He was chairman of the GBMC Foundation and was a member of the board from 1974 to 1978; and 1988 to 1994. From 1998 to 1994, he was chief of the medical staff.
In a biographical profile Dr. Gaines wrote in 2011, he described his medical practice as being a "combination of a specialty referral in rheumatology and general internal medicine in his office, hospital and home visits." He often remarked that seeing a patient at home "really brought full knowledge of the patient's problems."
During his nearly four-decade career in medicine, Dr. Gaines had been president of the Maryland Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation, medical consultant to Blue Shield of Maryland, and president of the Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association.
Dr. Gaines was also a fellow of the American College of Physicians and was a founding fellow of the American College of Rheumatology.
When Gilchrist Hospice Care was founded in the early 1990s, Dr. Gaines early on became a volunteer.
In his biographical profile, Dr. Gaines had written "that physicians, including myself, had in general provided inadequate compassionate care for terminally ill patients" and knew he should "get involved in hospice care."
From 1994 to 2008, he called on "patients at home as a friend, not as a doctor," he wrote.
Dr. Gaines assisted in the financial affairs of Gilchrist and served as a member of its board from 1998 to 2011, and was chair from 2000 to 2003. In 2011, the board honored Dr. Gaines for his years of work and volunteerism as a director emeritus.
"Myrt was with us from the beginning and his primary responsibility was raising money for us, and he was able to attract significant dollars," said Cathy Hamel, who has been the executive director Gilchrist since 2009.
Ms. Hamel described Dr. Gaines as a "very humble and modest man," who "died in the facility" he worked so hard to develop.
"It was an honor and a privilege to have him with us," said Ms. Hamel.
Dr. Gaines, who had been a lacrosse star in both prep school and Princeton, retained a lifelong interest in the sport, and in 1985 was elected to the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
The longtime resident of Huntley Square in Roland Park, who had moved to Roland Park Place several years go, was a member of the L'Hirondelle Club in Ruxton, where he played tennis, and the Country Club of Maryland, where he had played golf for 26 years.
He also was a surf fisherman and liked traveling to North Carolina's Outer Banks to go blue fishing, and later became interested in fly fishing for trout, hickory shad and rockfish.
Dr. Gaines was an active member of Brown Memorial Woodbrook Presbyterian Church, where he was a Stephen's minister and an elder.
A memorial service will be held for Dr. Gaines at his church, 6200 N. Charles St., at 11:30 a.m. July 26.
Dr. Gaines is survived by his wife of 61 years, the former Helen "Sandi" McFarland, a former Johns Hopkins Hospital registered nurse; two sons, Brandon F. Gaines of Ruxton and David M. Gaines of Raleigh, N.C.; two daughters, Julia G. Mand of Woodbrook and Heather B. Gaines of Virginia Beach, Va.; and six grandchildren.

cutronej necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for a print for our department t-shirts. Right now we have a very boring "tree" (in the math sense) that is uninspiring. We just want an upgrade and unfortunately, being good at math doesn't mean we can do graphic designs
Accepted File Formats:
Please visit our website at http://www.mathematics.jhu.edu for our current logo and some graphics. Our department is known for its work in "minimal surfaces" "complex geometry" and "algebraic geometry". in particular, these items in higher dimensions (4 and up). A quick google image search can give you an idea of some pictures associated to each idea. But we are open to anything really. Just something catchy and interesting and somewhat math related.
This shirt is used as gifts to prospective students and current faculty, so please refrain from creating a t-shirt with a cheezy math joke or slogan. Those entries will not be considered. We are looking for an improvement of our logo or a nice design.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email.

In addition to our DARE Program our department offers to the schools in our town an array of programs that a tailored to the needs of the students in that grade. The majority of these programs are taught by Police Officer Michael Rybak. PO Rybak goes into all the elementary and middle schools in our school district and does a number of programs. A brief outline of the programs is listed below.
Kindergarten: "Officer Friendly" In this program Officer Rybak speaks with the kids to start to develop a trust between the students and police officers. Officer Rybak talks with the kids about the fact that the police are there to help you and not hurt you. Hopefully this helps to develop a feeling of trust on the part of the students toward the police.
Grade Two: "Child Awareness" In this program Officer Rybak talks with the students about such topics as stranger danger and the concept of good touch and bad touch. The idea behind the program is to help children learn at a young age that not all people are their friends and that certain types of physically touching of their bodies by other people is not right. Officer Rybak tells the kids how to report things that they feel are wrong or that they are not comfortable about.
Grade Four: "Child Abuse and Sexual Abuse" In this program Officer Rybak talks in more detail about the issue of improper touching of their body by other people regardless of who that person may be. Officer Rybak talks with the kids about people they can talk with to about things they are not comfortable with.
Grade Six: "Shoplifting" This program is geared to tell the students the importance of honesty and that they should not take things that do not belong to them. Some of the more common ways that kids get dragged into committing the crime of shoplifting are explained to the students in hopes that they will respect the fact that they do not own the items and that if they want a certain item they need to pay for it.
Grade Eight: "Vandalism" Officer Rybak talks with the students about respecting the property of other people and that it is not okay to damage the property of another person. Examples of things that violate the law of Criminal Mischief are explained to kids along with the consequences when they get caught.
The above programs are reviewed on a regular basis by our department and the Director of Health and Physical Education for the West Seneca Schools. Changes are made as needed and also the programs are kept up to date by the implementation of newer media sources that are more in tune with the students of today. For more information on these programs please contact our Family Offense Bureau at 716-674-2284 or by email at Detective Lt. William Leitzel

You can use the Office language options to add a language or to choose the language in which the Help and ScreenTips display.
The language options are in the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, which you can access by going to File > Options > Language. The display and help languages can be set independently. For example, you could have everything match the language of your operating system, or you could use a combination of languages for your operating system, editing, display, and Help.
The available languages depend on the language version of Office and any additional language pack, language interface pack, or ScreenTip languages that are installed on your computer.
Add a language
You can add a language to Office programs by adding an editing language. An editing language consists of the keyboard layout and proofing tools for that language. The proofing tools include language-specific features, such as dictionaries for spelling and grammar checking, or paragraph direction buttons. (The default editing language appears at the top of the list in bold. If needed, this can be changed by selecting the language you want and clicking Set as Default.)
Open an Office program, such as Word.
Click File > Options > Language.
In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose Editing Languages, select the editing language that you want to add from the Add additional editing languages list, and then click Add.
The added language appears in the list of editing languages.
If Not enabled appears in the Keyboard Layout column, do the following:
Click the Not enabled link.
In the Add Languages dialog box, click Add a language, select your language in the list, and then click Add.
Close the Add Languages dialog box. Your language should display as Enabled under Keyboard Layout in the Choose Editing Languages section.
If Not Installed appears in the Proofing column, you might need to obtain a language pack or language interface pack to obtain the proofing tools for your language.
To go online and get the language pack you need, click the Not installed link.
Set the default display and Help language
The display and Help languages are the languages used in Office for display elements, such as menu items, commands, and tabs, in addition to the Help file display language.
The default language appears in bold at the top of the list. The order of the languages in the display and Help lists is the order in which languages are used by Office. For example, if your display language order is Spanish <default>, German, and Japanese, and the Spanish language tools are removed from your computer, German becomes your default display language.
To set the default language:
Open an Office program, such as Word.
Click File > Options > Language.
In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose Display and Help Languages, select the language that you want to use, and then click Set as Default.
Which display language is being used for which Office program?
If you use multiple languages and have customized Office so that it fits the way that you want to work, you can review all of the Office programs to see which language is the default display language for each.
In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose Display and Help languages, click View display languages installed for each Microsoft Office program.
Set the ScreenTip language
Note: This feature is available only for the following Office programs: Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, and Word. It is not available for Office 2016 programs.
ScreenTips are small pop-up windows that provide brief, context-sensitive help when you rest the pointer on a display element, such as a button, tab, dialog box control, or menu. Setting the ScreenTip language in one Office program sets it for all of the Office programs that you have installed.
Open an Office program, such as Word.
Click File > Options > Language.
In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, under Choose ScreenTip Language, select your ScreenTip language.
This feature is not available in Office 2016.
If the language that you want is not listed, you might need to add more language services. Click How do I get more ScreenTip languages from Office.com, and then follow the download and installation instructions.
After you install a new ScreenTip language, it becomes your default ScreenTip language.
For more information about ScreenTips, see Show or hide ScreenTips.
