The NCGA Mourns the Loss of Past President Frank Brunk
December 21, 2021 / by Jerry Stewart
The NCGA mourns the loss of Past President Frank Brunk.
Benjamin Franklin "Frank" Brunk, 95, passed away peacefully at home in Walnut Creek on December 21, 2021.
Frank was born September 14th, 1926 to Esther and Frank Brunk, Sr. in Berkeley, California. He spent the first eleven years of his life in Mexico on his grandfather and father's 10,000-acre rice and wheat farm. Frank graduated high school in Willows, California where the family had moved after leaving Mexico.
Frank's dream of attending UC Berkeley came true after having served in the Navy for two years. In 1946 Frank returned to Cal, joined Alpha Delta Phi fraternity and played football initially on the Rambler team before being promoted to varsity. His lifelong athletic skills helped him become something of a legend for his 102-yard kickoff return against USC in 1949 leading Cal to the Rose Bowl in 1950. Frank's coach was the legendary Lynn O. "Pappy" Waldorf. Frank was one of a small group of former players who founded Pappy's Boys, an organization dedicated to student athletes pursuing excellence in academics, athletics, and life.
Following college, Frank worked in the automobile industry, going into business with his father, having founded Brunk Leasing Company in Oakland, California. He was a trusted professional and dedicated community member. Frank was a long time Rotarian, President of Orinda Country Club, President of Northern California Golf Association, and Chairman of Cal Golf Committee.
Playing golf since age 12, Frank always said that it was a sport for life. One of Frank's proudest moments was the honor of receiving the first ever Cal Athletics Hall of Fame Service award in 2009 for his dedication to Cal Golf. In 1979, Cal dropped golf as an NCAA sport. Together with Head Coach Steve Desimone, Frank has spent 40 years advocating for reinstatement (accomplished, 1982), fundraising over $30 million for operating funds, and establishing an endowment. They brought the program from NCAA extinction to the pinnacle of college golf, winning the 2004 NCAA championship. Today, the Cal Men's Golf program stands nearly fully endowed at just over $16 million.
Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, and friend to many was the greatest example of integrity, generosity, humility, kindness, and love.
Frank was predeceased by his father, Benjamin Franklin Brunk Sr, mother, Esther Norton Brunk, and brother, James Donald Brunk.
A celebration of Frank's life will take place at a time in the very near future when we can gather to share stories and hugs.
Donations may be made to the Frank Brunk Golf Scholarship.

Brunk, who served as NCGA president in 1991, was the recipient of the first Hall of Fame Service Award at Cal-Berkeley, an honor that recognizes a former student-athlete, coach, administrator or friend of Cal Athletics who has made an outstanding long-term contribution to ideals of the Athletic Department.
The award is presented to a deserving individual for demonstrating exemplary leadership and setting a standard for excellence in enhancing the Cal student-athlete experience. A three-year letterman for the Golden Bears football team from 1947-49, Brunk (seen in photo with Cal men's coach Walter Chun) once returned a kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown against USC that helped secure Cal's spot in the 1950 Rose Bowl.
However, his biggest impact on Cal Athletics may be through his three decades of work as chair of the Cal Men's Golf Committee. In 1979, he led an effort to reestablish men's golf as a varsity sport at the University – a vision that came true in 1982 – and he was a key factor in creating the Women's Golf Committee. In addition, Brunk was instrumental in a fundraising effort to build a state-of the art practice facility for both programs that opened at Metropolitan Golf Links in Oakland in 2007.

Why is Cardano taking the most significant punishment among the big cryptocurrencies?
The virtual currency continues to be one of the most impacted by the sell-off in the last week in the market. The exit of eToro in the US continues to weigh, as well as inflation, uncertainty about regulation after the appearance of the main CEOs of the companies in the sector in Congress. Thus, it is far from the experts' forecasts for its year-end price of 1.73 dollars. On the other hand, Cardano has just surpassed one million wallets or wallets, staking the ADA token, distributed in more than 3,000 pools, with an activity that has reached about 33,000 million virtual coins, reaching a market capitalization of 47,000 million.
But the falls of recent days have left the capitalization level, remember, of the sixth coin in the cryptocurrency market with two million dollars below this level. And is that, although the oscillations, significantly downward, have been the general tone in the crypto world in recent days, with enormous volatility, Cardano is one of the assets that has reaped more declines. The reasons are several, some affecting everything and others of their own. Firstly, uncertainty always has a significant impact on the blockchain universe because although its multiple applications continue to evolve and improve, the market only perceives it, at least for the moment, as a high-risk asset.
We have seen Bitcoin the largest and most quoted among the big investors, with falls in these sessions on account of inflation that have dragged the rest. It seems that it is no longer considered, also at this time, as a protector of inflation, and therefore its downward trend drags the rest, especially the altcoins, very punished in recent days. Added to this is the presence of the main CEOs of the leading companies in the world of cryptocurrencies in their appearance in the US Congress. It is the first step, listening to the CEOs of Circle, FTX, Bitfury, Stellar, and Coinbase, all with a view to the future regulation of these online currencies, of which the sector, in general, does not even want to hear about, considering that it would break the libertarian and unsupported aspect of their essence.
In its share price chart, we see that Cardano continues to accumulate falls, despite its great year in the market. Declines of 5.3% in the last five trading sessions join a fateful month in which it reports falls of 35%. Also, the previous three months have seen Cardano's price declines of 46%. But after its highs of 3 dollars in September, the asset continues to treasure annual revaluations of 622%, and since December last year, these accumulated gains are close to 727%.
But it seems that investors are still punishing the stock for what is to come. This decision of eToro, in the face of future regulation, maybe an open door for other exchanges to follow, which marks the sales of investors. Recall that from December 31, users of this platform in the United States can not position on ADA in the market, with added limitations on their wallets, which will only be effective until the end of the year's first quarter. And lousy precedent, which continues to have a long way to go in the market. Negative news has led Cardano users to issue criticisms in the networks that have not pleased its creator. Since the beginning of December, Charles Hoskinson has indicated that he will block all those who complain about his cryptocurrency.
And it is curious that the activity on Cardano is increasing in the face of the falls in the stock. More wallets, but smaller amounts despite the declines we have seen in the asset's market price.
However, it seems that Cardano still stands out as one of the cryptocurrencies with the brightest future.
Whales control more than 90% of circulating ADAs.
As such, research conducted by the Finbold team using data from analytics firm Blockchain, CoinMetrics, reveals that at least a total of 31 billion ADA, valued at USD 37.8 billion at the time of publishing, would be held by 10% of the whales operating on the Cardano ecosystem. Such a figure jumps out considering that as of December 13, there are just over 33.428 billion tokens in circulation.
Digging even deeper into the data, the figures reflect that ADA's concentration in crypto whale wallets started to increase since the beginning of 2021 steadily. Thus, it is estimated that such addresses have been increasing their token supply throughout this year, this by at least about 1 billion units.
Accumulating instead of selling
About the whales in question, the reading points to the fact that these addresses would be properly dedicated to accumulating ADA, something that they have been doing throughout this year amid the constant advances that the development team has been having. Let's keep in mind that a few months ago, the network officially implemented support for smart contracts, which is expected to lead to the arrival of many use cases that take advantage of the benefits offered by its network.
One of the most anticipated announcements by Cardano enthusiasts is the arrival of DeFi platforms to its network. One of the contenders that is already taking steps in this area is SundaeSwap, which has already launched its public test network and is expected to be ready in the coming weeks for full-fledged operations.
It is precisely these expectations that reinforce the thesis behind the whales' interest in accumulating more ADA throughout 2021, as the DeFi ecosystem, in general, has been having a lot of success in different networks such as Binance Smart Chain Solana, and Avalanche.
However, other published reports suggest that the existing expectations around Cardano are also present on other projects Blockchainespecially those that pose a good scenario for sectors such as DeFi and NFTs, so the aforementioned projects, including also PolkadotThe aforementioned projects, including Cardano, seem to be the focus of interest for many investors and developers, precisely because of the possibilities they offer for the not too distant future.
Cardano underrated?
With networks like Avalanche and Solana capitalizing these days the headlines of many reports, various research agencies also highlight that Cardano could be undervalued in the face of the impact it could have in the coming years. This thesis is supported by a study published by Grayscale, which indicates that the network has a lot to offer and that it can operationally surpass what Ethereum, the network that concentrates the bulk of Blockchain activity today, currently has on its hands.
In terms of prices, although the digital currency is currently trading at about USD 1.22 at the time of publication, at the beginning of the year, its value increased by more than 590% since by January 1, the ADA token was trading at USD 0.17 per unit. On the other hand, it reached record highs of over USD 3, making it one of the best-valued assets at the time.

its 10th anniversary this year, BCDO has become an established and exciting event.
A central element of BCDO is the presence of over 500 volunteers, who cheerfully give their time and expertise to ensure that this not-for-profi t event runs smoothly for the enjoyment of the many thousands who attend.
We invite you to join us in Harrogate for the 2019 CPA National Conference. The programme promises an amazing time of worship, teaching, prayer and fellowship from Friday afternoon to Sunday lunch time.
There will be guest speakers from across our Yorkshire branches, who will be exploring the theme "Home and Heart".
At our recent CPA Leaders Conference, Deputy Chief Constable Paul Netherton of Devon and Cornwall Police was welcomed into the position of President of the CPA upon the retirement of Sir Matt Baggott CBE, QPM.
Part of our vision is to see 'an active and growing Branch of CPA in every Police Service in the UK'. Let us pray particularly where Forces have no active Branch, indicated in red and especially where there is no single point of contact (SPOC). Print, and pray every day!

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our Annual Report for 2018. I continued to be inspired by the Mission and Vision of Catherine Gurney, who founded the Christian Police Association in 1883. The enthusiasm and energy of our nationwide network of volunteer leaders, trustees, CPA members, friends and community partners is amazing! This network covers the majority of Police Service areas across the United Kingdom. Our volunteers are supported by a small paid team, and we all work tirelessly to progress the mission and vision of the CPA. Together, we continue to encourage and support our members nationwide.
2017 was a period of sustained and exciting growth for our charity in both numbers of branches and members. We are so blessed that our charity operates across the majority of Police Service areas across the United Kingdom and I trust this annual report will give you valuable insight into some of the work we do.

It was always the practice, in the early days of the Christian Police Association to hold the annual gathering at Exeter Hall in the Strand, London. Many well-known speakers were invited to participate, among them the famous Baptist preacher C. H. Spurgeon. He spoke to CPA on more than one occasion but his first visit was in 1890 when he gave as his title 'Why should a policeman be a true Christian?' As the Gurney family business was shorthand writing, it is hardly surprising that such talks were fully recorded and many appeared in the CPA magazine. The message that follows appeared in the On and Off Duty magazine for June 1890.

Why Steve King ❤'s Geert Wilders
I'm sure that no one reading this was surprised that Steve King holds white supremacist views. As many have pointed out, he has a long history of racist remarks, and makes no apologies for them. But his support of extreme right Dutch politician Geert Wilders might have come as a surprise. Why on earth is Steve King invested in an election in another country? Isn't King a nationalist?
Want Ctrl Alt Right Delete in your inbox? Subscribe here.
Steve King speaks alongside Geert Wilders. Yeah, that happened.
It's important to remember that the so-called alt-right see themselves as part of a broader global movement. Vox actually explains this really well, in an article outlining King and Wilders' lengthy association with one another:
The longstanding affinity between the two politicians tells us something important about modern politics. Far-right politicians are organizing, developing networks and alliances with like-minded xenophobes throughout Europe and the United States. The nationalists are building an international movement — creating a kind of global movement dedicated to slowing immigration to the West.
Rep. King wasn't the only one. The frog squad were collectively obsessed with the Dutch elections. They've dominated the extreme right's conversation online all week. Most of the Dutch Freedom Party's donors were Americans. Much in the way they're similarly invested in Marine Le Pen's presidential campaign in France. (Though hilariously there was some grumbling online at Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's call for a second Scottish Independence referendum. They're all about nation states, unless that nation wants to become independent in opposition of their agenda.) Theirs is a global movement for white supremacy, of which Donald Trump is just one cog.
Paul Ryan gym photos will always be funny.
This obsession soaks up a lot of the oxygen in their online spaces. To the point where there's still hardly a peep about Trumpcare, much less any interest in organizing around it. The only interest the frog squad showed in that debate this week was taking down Paul Ryan. They became gleeful when Breitbart ran a hit piece on Ryan with the obvious intention of driving a wedge between him and Trump. But that glee was short-lived, and almost immediately, they went right back to the Netherlands.
Trumpcare has no echo chamber, none of the amplification or validation that helped Trump dominate the narrative during his campaign. I suspect this won't be the only legislation where that's the case. The frog squad aren't out to build, they're out to break things. If Trumpcare dies in the House, their lack of interest will have played a role.
Steve Bannon seems similarly disinterested in Trumpcare. Based on how Breitbart went after Paul Ryan this week, I'd guess he calculated that weakening Ryan was more valuable than the White House showing any leadership on health care.
It's important for the opposition to understand the motivations of the frog squad: they're willing to fight like hell to further their white nationalist values: the wall, foreign policy changes, travel bans, etc. And they're generally not committed to using the legislative process to achieve them unless they absolutely have to. That agenda doesn't always align with Tea Party Republicans who are eager to take advantage of the partisan majority to put their Randian theories on entitlements in effect.
While both factions share the goal of breaking government, their competing agendas create a tension that can potentially be exploited.
The Netherlands rejected Geert Wilders' and his extreme right party by a large margin this week. Steve King remains in Congress, because the GOP are now the party of white nationalism. And as Samantha Bee pointed out on her show this week, there's pretty much nothing a Republican white dude in Congress can do that will get him fired right now.
The above is an excerpt from Ctrl Alt Right Delete, a weekly newsletter devoted to understanding how the right operates online and developing strategies and tactics to fight back.

TextNow Wireless Review
TextNow Wireless is an affordable way to get a phone line and use that number across many devices, but poor call quality holds it back.
By Cherlynn Low 18 June 2015
Affordable plans and handsets
Phone number can be used across many devices
Better smartphone selection than similar carriers.
Poor call quality
Calls drop when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular.
Today's best TextNow Wireless Review deals
Who it's for: Those who are looking to tighten their purse strings and who can live without high-speed data; parents looking for an affordable line for their kids.
Looking for a way to slash your phone bill — or give a phone to your child on the cheap? TextNow Wireless might suit your needs; it offers unlimited talk, text and (2G) data starting at just $19 a month. Its plans are so affordable because the hybrid carrier prioritizes Wi-Fi connections over cellular data, letting you make calls and send messages over Wi-Fi whenever available. Thanks to the company's app, you can also use your phone number to text and call friends from your iPod, tablet or laptop.
TextNow offers a fairly good phone selection and can help save you money, but the poor call quality and the hand-off issues between Wi-Fi and cellular give us pause.
How TextNow Wireless Works
TextNow calls itself a hybrid, cloud-based carrier. It blends together Wi-Fi and cellular networks to let you communicate with your friends. If the premise sounds familiar, that's because Republic Wireless and FreedomPop already do this. But TextNow is unique with its cloud-based approach, which lets you get a phone number just by downloading the app.
You could essentially turn an iPod into an iPhone by getting a U.S. phone number. But if you opt for one of TextNow's phones, you'll add the ability to text and call over a cellular connection. Since you can use this number to sign into TextNow on iOS, Android and browser-based portals, you can message your contacts from virtually any device.
When it's not on Wi-Fi, TextNow Wireless piggybacks on Sprint's 4G network, which we have found to be sluggish in many major American cities.
TextNow Pricing vs. Other Carriers
Named after coffee drink sizes, TextNow's plans all come with unlimited talk, text and data (over 2G). The basic package, Tall, costs $18.99 a month and offers 500MB of high-speed (3G/4G) bandwidth. Grande ($26.99) gives you 1GB; Venti ($39.99) has 2GB, and Trenta, the largest, packs 4GB of high-speed data.
MORE: Best Smartphones on the Market Now
TextNow's Grande ($27 a month) offers 1GB of high-speed data (3G/4G), cheaper than Google's Project Fi, which offers the same amount of data, and FreedomPop's Unlimited Everything plan, which caps high-speed data to 1GB and drops to 128 kbps after that. Republic Wireless offers only unlimited data plans, but at various speeds, and its unlimited 4G plan costs $40 a month.
TextNow Google Fi Republic FreedomPop
Monthly price for

*Republic offers only unlimited data plans, and rates differ for 3G or 4G speeds.
#BYOP = Bring Your Own Phone, which in this cases refers to compatible Sprint handsets
TextNow's starting price is higher than that offered by competitors, such as Republic Wireless' $5 a month for a Wi-Fi–only plan and FreedomPop's $10 a month plan with 1GB of 4G data. But TextNow is the only one of the lot to provide unlimited 2G data on all its plans.
MORE: Google Project Fi vs Other Carriers: What's the Best Deal?
TextNow is cheaper than Google's Project Fi, which starts at $20 a month for unlimited domestic talk and text and unlimited international texts but no high-speed data. Adding 1GB of data to your plan is also cheaper on TextNow ($27 a month) than on Fi ($30 a month).
TextNow App and Multi-Device Support
The TextNow app replaces the Messages app in the phones the company sells, with this app becoming your main channel for contacting your friends. Even though there's a separate Dialer app, it redirects you to the TextNow screen after you make your call.
The TextNow app shows your conversations with your contacts in reverse chronological order, with the most recent at the top. You can send text, pictures (from gallery or camera) and emoticons (10 are preloaded in the app). You'll also see sent, received and missed calls on this screen.
Tapping the menu button at the top left lets you see your phone number, credits and bandwidth remaining. You can also access your profile, a TextNow store (to buy or earn call credits) and account settings.
With your username and password, you can sign into the iOS and Android apps or the browser-based client from your computer to call and message your friends. Once I signed in, the website displayed all my existing chats, making it easy to pick up where I left off in conversations. In each chat, you can send either texts or images (from your computer), and you can choose to allow the site to notify you of incoming messages.
The TextNow portal spent hours trying to verify my laptop's microphone, finally doing so a few days later after I reopened the site repeatedly. This also happened on my colleague's laptops, both PC and Mac.
After I reached out to TextNow about this issue, the company said it had fixed the bug. The verification occurred instantly once my colleagues and I reloaded the TextNow site. After your mic is verified, you can make calls from your desktop, which was surprisingly seamless during my testing.
Smartphone Selection
Having recently added the Nexus 5 and Moto X to its selection of compatible handsets, TextNow has something for anyone, from the budget-conscious to the power user. The carrier also offers the first-gen Moto G (refurbished) at just $13.99, as well as refurbished units of the LG Optimus F3, Samsung Galaxy SIII and Galaxy S4 for $15, $80 and $200, respectively. The $250 Nexus 5 and $150 Moto X available are brand new, not refurbished.
According to TextNow, refurbished devices are phones that have either been returned by a customer or warranty repaired and repackaged. The company says it only carries certified refurbished phones that come with a 1-year warranty, which are eligible for users who have active TextNow subscriptions.
You can also bring your own qualifying Sprint phone to TextNow, as long as you're OK with making calls over 3G or 4G only (no 2G available). This means your call quality might be poorer when you're not on Wi-Fi.
By comparison, Republic Wireless offers only two devices: the Moto G (for $149) and Moto X ($399), and for much more money than TextNow. The Moto G on Republic is brand new.
FreedomPop offers four phones: the LG Viper 4G LTE ($99), Samsung Galaxy SIII ($169) and Galaxy S4 ($289), and the iPhone 5 ($299), making this the only such carrier to offer the iPhone. You can also bring your own device to FreedomPop, which offers tablets as well.
The Nexus 5 and refurbished Moto G we received from TextNow were not much different from their original counterparts that we had previously reviewed. There are no external signs like a logo to indicate this is a TextNow phone, which is nice.
On general performance benchmark Geekbench 3, the TextNow Nexus 5 scored 2,609, which isn't far off from the original unlocked Nexus 5's score of 2,689. The TextNow Moto G notched 1,060, just under the original Moto G's mark of 1,153.
3G/4G Data Speeds
Although TextNow prioritizes Wi-Fi, you don't want to be stuck with crawling data speeds when you're out of Wi-Fi range. That's what we saw from the 3G Moto G, but the 4G-enabled Nexus 5 fared better.
In my Hell's Kitchen apartment, the Nexus 5 (LTE) averaged a fairly good 8.7 Mbps for downloads and 8.1 Mbps for uploads on the Speedtest.net app, while the Moto G (3G) netted just 570 Kbps Mbps down and 650 Kbps up.
LTE speeds were slower in Union Square, where the Nexus 5 notched 4.7 Mbps down and 5.9 Mbps up. The Moto G saw better performance in this spot than in the previous location, getting 2 Mbps down and 1.1 Mbps up.
Trying to call someone on a TextNow phone was hit or miss. When making a call out over 2G (instead of VoIP), TextNow assigns a proxy number to each contact that you reach via the Dialer.
During our initial tests, the TextNow app was glitchy, often returning me to the home screen after I tried to place a call. Upgrading to the latest version of the app fixed the issue. TextNow says all its phones ship with the most updated build of the app and that Google should automatically update all apps once you are signed into your account and connected to Wi-Fi. If you experience similar problems to what I did, though, make sure to go to the Google Play store and get the Dialer app updated.
Even after I updated the app, however, calls didn't connect consistently. Out of the nine phones in our office that I tried calling, three failed to ring, even though I heard the ringing tone in the TextNow phone. Two phones took between 15 and 20 seconds to start ringing. The other calls connected immediately.
When a call did connect, it was like I was talking to someone from the bottom of a well. My colleague Sam's voice was so distorted that I thought I had accidentally called my editor instead, and Sam's voice sounded more nasal than it actually was. According to him, my voice would drop out every three words or so, and got worse when I went indoors.
On my end, I could hear Sam clearly when I was walking from Union Square Park toward my office, but I encountered dropped words every three words or so once I stepped into a Duane Reade pharmacy.
The same happened when I called Sam from a moving cab. When I got through, he said he could understand what I was saying. But to me, Sam sounded muffled and distorted, and there was crackling every 3 seconds or so.
On both occasions, I whipped out my iPhone 5s to call Sam over T-Mobile's network, and he reported hearing me much more clearly. Similarly, I could hear him better and he sounded like himself.
Switching Between Wi-Fi and Cellular
TextNow uses Wi-Fi when it detects that the connection is good enough, and if not, the service routes through cellular. The company's phones are supposed to switch seamlessly between the two. I tested how well this worked by calling my colleague Sam and walking in and out of Wi-Fi range while talking.
When switching from Wi-Fi to LTE, my call dropped altogether and I had to redial Sam. As I entered Wi-Fi range during a call that started on cellular, Sam said I went silent for 5 seconds before returning, but at least the call didn't get completely cut off.
MORE: Cellphone Carriers: Best and Worst Customer Service
TextNow said that switching from Wi-Fi to 4G or 3G VoIP is supported, but that handover from VoIP to 2G (cellular) voice is not yet available. The company said it's working on that feature and that once it's implemented, "there will be much less dropped calls."
It's not a perfect replacement for a full-blown carrier, but for those who are heavily dependent on texting and want the option of making calls over a cellular connection, TextNow is an affordable choice. I especially liked being able to use my number to text and call my friends from any other device, and the carrier offers a wider smartphone selection than its competitors. However, calls didn't connect consistently enough, and I experienced issues when moving from cellular to Wi-Fi and vice versa.
Heavier data users should consider Republic Wireless, which provides unlimited LTE data for just $40 a month, whereas TextNow offers at most 4GB of data at 3G/4G speeds for $60 monthly. Frequent travelers may prefer Google's Project Fi, which has coverage in about 120 countries and offers free unlimited international texts and high-speed data roaming at no extra charge. Google's service should also provide better coverage, thanks to its partnership with both T-Mobile and Sprint.
But for those looking for a good amount of data, a solid lineup of smartphones, and the ability to text their friends from their desktops or tablets, TextNow is a good value.

GO-DOT pilot program aims to keep traffic flowing in Oklahoma's I-235 workzone
By Adam Frost on	 August 14, 2018 Congestion Reduction, Planning, Testing, R&D
With a major construction project currently underway on I-235, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) has launched a pilot program to solve the problem of stranded cars inside a highway workzone, which can cause significant delays for thousands of drivers.
ODOT aims to prevent workzone congestion issues with two specially outfitted trucks and a new service to motorists traveling through construction projects and other targeted high-traffic areas.
GO-DOT, a new pilot program to help keep highways clear, was demonstrated at the Oklahoma Transportation Commission's monthly meeting before being dispatched to the I-235 construction zone between I-44 and N 36th St in Oklahoma City. The program is designed to quickly move stranded vehicles out of the busy workzone to the nearest safe location, and was made possible by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as part of the nearly US$88m federally funded I-235 construction contract.
The vehicles will initially be operated by Allen Contracting Inc., the prime contractor for the I-235 construction project, which will provide operators for the service until the current I-235 project completes by early 2019, when ODOT will take possession of the two trucks and hire its own operators.
The two 2017 Ford F-450 4×4 crew cab trucks cost more than US$400,000 to purchase and outfit. The vehicles are fully equipped with a wheel lift capable of lifting 3,500 lb; are capable of towing up to 7,800 lb vehicles such as RVs and travel trailers; and have a wheel dolly to enable the removal of four-wheel-drive vehicles without damaging drivetrain components. The vehicle cabs can seat up to four additional passengers to help quickly move motorists to a safer location.
The GO-DOT trucks will also be equipped to provide basic car maintenance, such as jumping a dead battery, fixing a flat tire or providing fuel for those that run out inside the workzone. Once safely moved out of the construction area, motorists will need to call for additional help or a towing service.
The next phase of the I-44/I-235/US-77 interchange reconstruction is estimated to be awarded later this year, with construction likely to start soon after the current phase completes by early 2019, and GO-DOT will continue to be used in this work zone area. ODOT's future plans include offering this same service in Tulsa and other targeted areas to enhance highway safety.
"The biggest problem with stranded vehicles or crashes is the secondary accidents that often occur as motorists are distracted by what's happening in the lane next to them or on the highway shoulder," said ODOT's chief engineer, Casey Shell.
"These secondary accidents often are even more dangerous than the initial cause of the slow down. By keeping the lanes and shoulders clear and limiting distractions, we hope this service will reduce crashes and congestion in the workzone."
ODOT's executive director, Mike Patterson, noted, "One of the most dangerous situations on an interstate is when a crash or other problem causes traffic to suddenly slow or stop. While initially launching in the Oklahoma City metro area, the goal is to build this program to help keep other targeted heavily traveled highways clear."

Use for optimal performance in the Webcaster Gun. These clear Webcaster sticks work best in the Webcaster Gun and create a web that glows under a blacklight.
Packet contains 20 clear low melt Temp Webcaster Sticks.
The webs this gun produces are amazing. I will admit however that it took some getting used to and understanding of how to cast the webs but if you're patient, your webs will be the talk of the neighborhood. Annually I decorate a 1200sqft area with approx 20 - 25 sticks. The mess isn't really too bad once you get the hang of how to use the gun. Oh yeah, try turning on some black lights with you webs. They look amazing.
I purchased the webcaster gun to make my "haunted house" more realistic. The concept is good and it does work, but the wasted glue and mess it makes is incredible! I got maybe one web out of three glue sticks, and that was a small web. Was very disappointed!
I bought extra Clear Sticks because I had read previous reviews that said many were needed. The webcaster gun does go through a lot of these very quickly, but it is so worth it! The result is truly spider-like webs when one finally gets the hang of using the gun. It takes practice and patience, but again it is very fun and worth it. I haven't tried the colored sticks but I think I may next year. ;) Also I didn't use blacklights. I will have to try that too.


Roller core mainly used 42CrMo as the material, outside setting with 30Cr2NiMo as roll sleeve which is high hardness, good performance to enhance its service life. The production process is rough machining, Q&T, holin, Mill groove, drilling.It used to warm rolling roll, such as Aluminum rolling mill.
Roller core is mainly used to rolling aluminum, aluminum belt, copper, bronze belt, etc.


10 pt (2-3 from 3), 6 rebounds in 20 minutes against Colorado.
Just think with Cooper Neese no Jordan Tucker, without Cooper Neese Tucker Jordan. Which would you rather have Butler fans?
Sorry for the typo, I meant Jordan Tucker, its early.
Wish Cooper all the success in the world, but he's not getting 20 minutes a game in our current lineup. He's exactly where he belongs & good for him. Blow it up kid.
NCJon and knobcreekfan like this.
20 mins? Probably not. But he'd play here. He can hit pro level shots.
Reality is we'll probably never know what neese's contributions at butler would've looked like because his role at ISU is going to completely different than t would've been at butler. I don't think he'd have played much before his junior season, and even his last two years I'd imagine he'd have primarily been running off of screens and basically never dribbling or shooting inside the three point line. And he could've been really really valuable in that role if he was hitting 3s at a 40% clip as i imagine he can. At ISU he's going to be forced into something he's not so the numbers may end up being misleading.
Indiana St. has wins over Colorado & UNLV to advance to the champion game of the Diamond Head Classic Christmas night in a rematch with TCU.(similar to Butler/Florida).
He would not see the floor this year, and probably only minimal minutes next year. Next year we will have the same log jam, only Battle will take PJ's minutes.
I was a big believer in Neese, but I never imagined Thompson and PJ would become what they are and Battle was not in the picture yet.
Right-we have too much shooting. Ok, boss.
Again, putting words in my mouth . . . Where the hell did I say we have "too much shooting"? Isnt your mantra that only half the game is played on offense? Neese is the greatest definition of one trick ponies and we have a Butler team filled with excellent two way options.
In this hypothetical world that Neese shoots his way past his defensive shortcomings, who is he taking minutes from?
pjohnsto2003, bwesson15, knobcreekfan and 3 others like this.
Bottom line is that he was not a good fit for the program. The coaching staff realized that. He realized that.
We are in a great position and have a high ceiling the next few years. I hope he has lots of success at ISU. No sense debating coulda woulda shoulda.
bwesson15, estar20dawg, Hinkle and 1 other person like this.
I can't think of anyone who transferred out that went on to have a career that caused me to regret their leaving Butler and I can't think of anyone that transferred in that didn't turn out to be a positive.
Yeah, he crossed my mind but he never even started for W. Virginia and looking at his sr year stats he was 16 for 29 from 2 for the year and believe it or not took 60 3 pointers and made 11.
So with a few more data points, Neese averages 20 minutes, 22% FG and 16% (4/27) on 3FG... that went south very quickly. especially for being touted as a 3pt specialist.
It's wildly premature to make any assessments on him based on numbers.
He was no loss, he would not have helped this years squad at all. He probably would have transferred at the end of this season anyway.
IIRC, those 6:00 AM sessions weren't/aren't designed by a masochist coach. Players have all different schedules (and I don't think Butler caters to letting the athletes get in the class before others) and early morning is one of the few conflicts. Especially for education majors that are student teaching--which there have been some nearly every year.
Butler student-athletes have early registration for classes; one week I think. TRUE what you say about student teaching. Fact: Stevens scheduled early morning practices in Ronald Nored's senior year because of student teaching.


Mary M. Reilly, professor of clinical neurology and consultant neurologist, UCL Institute of Neurology and National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London, was awarded an MDA human clinical trials grant totaling $1 million to evaluate a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol designed to detect disease-related changes in muscles over time in Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT).
In CMT, damaged motor nerves are unable to send adequate signals to muscles. This leads to muscle weakness and wasting, as well as other abnormal changes including the accumulation of fat in muscle tissue, which can be detected by MRI.
Reilly's team has developed an MRI protocol to measure fat accumulation in thigh and calf muscles. In a pilot study to determine the protocol's effectiveness at measuring fat infiltration in adults with CMT1A, Reilly's team showed that the presence of calf muscle fat increased significantly over a 12-month time period.
With the new MDA funding, the team will work to refine the new protocol to include foot muscles, which could make it effective in mild cases of CMT where fat accumulation occurs more often in the feet than in calves. The team will study the refined protocol in children with CMT1A, as well as in the other three most common types of CMT: CMT1B, CMT2A and CMTX.
If successful, Reilly's work could result in a sensitive, validated outcome measure in multiple forms of CMT, in both children and adults, that could allow researchers conducting clinical trials to reliably detect any positive effects of a candidate treatment within a 1- to 2-year timeframe.

Blastball Clinic
BlastBall, the fun alternative to traditional T-Ball, uses an exclusive "Honking" base to entertain younger players, adding excitement to the game. The rules are simple and call for a faster-paced game in which all of the players are involved and "on their toes" at all times. Not only does BlastBall keep the kids' attention and focus, it also helps develop their hitting, catching, fielding, throwing, and base running skills. BlastBall is a great introduction for kids 3 - 5 years old, as skill development will be stressed through games and drills. The first half of the session will focus on a specific fundamental, while the second half will consist of a BlastBall game where players will hit off a tee and run to first base to "honk" it. Fielders will then try and field the ball and yell "BLAST!" before the runner honks the base. The game is played with a foam bat and ball, with no additional equipment needed.
Participants receive a free t-shirt as part of registration.
Dates: July 5 - July 28, 2022

maybe not the best approach but here is my PHP function attempt:
function listCategory($parent_id,$level=0) {
    $query = "SELECT name, id , parent_id FROM category  WHERE  parent_id=".$parent_id;
    $res = mysql_query($query) or die($query);
    $i=1;
    while (list ($name, $id) = mysql_fetch_row($res))
    {
        if ($level==0) {echo '

';}

        echo '
'.$name.'
';
        //echo $name ." i: ".$i." level: ".$level."
";
        $i++;
        listCategory($id,$level+1);
    }
}

listCategory(0);

thanks for any help in advance

A: function listCategory($parent_id,$level=0) {
    $query = "SELECT name, id , parent_id FROM category  WHERE  parent_id=".$parent_id;
    $res = mysql_query($query) or die($query);

Every business wants data, the 'oil' of the information economy.
"Your driving behavior, location, has monetary value, not unlike your search activity." Car companies are betting if they offer you the right carrot—discounted car insurance, a coupon at the gas pump—you'll share your data. Carmakers'objective, is to build a database of consumer preferences aggregated and sold to outside vendors. The volume of software and sensors in new vehicles, combined with artificial intelligence that can sift through data at speed, means new services and revenue streams.
The company, which counts global auto supplier Aptiv Plc among its investors, is a digital broker of sorts: It scrubs and organizes bits of data for carmakers, sifts out the regulatory hopscotch for different countries and lets drivers select via mobile app which information they want to share with which companies in exchange for discounts or rewards. Otonomo, which said on Tuesday that it's getting a $3 million investment from NTT Docomo Ventures, is working with 10 automakers already, including Daimler AG, and has more than 75 third-party clients signed up, CEO Ben Volkow said.Many of the potential data buyers Otonomo has signed are the same ones the automakers talk about: insurance companies, mechanics, gas stations, city planners, fast-food joints. But Wall Street is also on the list of prospective clients.

OREANDA-NEWS Moscow is confident that it will find together with Minsk a mutually acceptable solution for the price of gas, which will be supplied from 2020. As first Deputy chief of staff of the government of the Russian Federation Sergey Prikhodko told journalists, "work on price agreement continues".
"We are confident that mutually acceptable solutions will be found," he stressed. The representative of the Russian Cabinet of Ministers said that"the issue of the price of natural gas for Belarus from January 1, 2020 is discussed within the working group of the ministries of energy of Russia and Belarus, which met in September in Moscow and in November in Minsk, it is considered at the level of Deputy heads of government."
Prikhodko stressed that the Russian Cabinet of Ministers "do not have information about interruptions in the receipt of payment from the Belarusian side for the gas supplied by Gazprom." "All payments are made by partners in accordance with the terms of the contract with Gazprom, "he said.
The issue of gas prices was raised on December 6, when a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian economic Council was held in St. Petersburg. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko argued about the fairness of the current price of Russian gas for Belarus. When the Belarusian leader complained that this price is high, Putin noted that for Belarus, as one of Russia's main allies, it is almost twice lower than for Germany, although in this matter "we must strive for unification." But for this, according to Putin, it takes time and another level of integration between the countries. Later Lukashenka admitted that he had to apologize to his Russian counterpart for the sharpness of his statements.
On Thursday, Belarus will host the 49th meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Union state of Russia and Belarus with the participation of Prime Ministers of the two countries Dmitry Medvedev and Sergei Rumas.

Larry Franks works for Magellan Petroleum in Australia. He manages petroleum production operations and also does hands-on engineering for drilling and exploration operations. His job includes the design and drilling of the exploration wells, gas reserves analysis, facility design, and product sales. In short he performs a wide variety of jobs focused on the upstream petroleum industry (drilling and production of oil and gas versus refining it into petrol and other products).
Figure 1: Rock porosity in the Palm Valley Gas Reservoir. The data is input to the reservoir simulation.
The Palm Valley gas field is located approximately 120 kilometers west of Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory. The field has been in production since 1983, providing gas for electricity in the towns of Darwin and Alice Springs.
Palm Valley produced 6.4 Bcf (billion cubic feet) of gas in 2002, and the same amount in 2001. Compression is used to counteract the natural decline, maintaining the production level.
Using a finite-difference petroleum reservoir model called TETRAD, Larry quantifies gas reserves in the reservoir and predicts future gas and water production.
Surface geology studies and seismic data create the three-dimensional shape of the reservoir – consisting of 50,000 grid blocks in the simulation.
Input variables for the model include the latest production data, as well as subsurface geologic data gathered from ten wells drilled into the reservoir.
Three to four hundred time segments are ran producing hundreds of pages of data. "It is impossible to understand the data unless it is in graphical form," Larry added.
Tecplot is used to display the geological data, as well as the simulation results. Larry wrote a QuickBasic program converting the input and output data from the simulator to Tecplot.
Figure 2: Regional surface plot in the Palm Valley. This region is called Pacoota. Rocks are usually divided into units based on geologic age and named by the geologists that first define the rocks.

Every state has city names that sound odd or even at times, unfortunate. We have some of those right here in North Dakota.
If you were to look at a full list of cities and/or towns in our state, it's pretty obvious that there are some city names that stand out right away. Here is a list of a few.
In the Urban Dictionary, the definition of 'Jud' is "Of or pertaining to any person, place, thing or idea that is contrary to established norms." Used in a sentence, "An adult male wearing shorts and sandals with socks is jud."
We're not saying anyone that lives there is of that description whatsoever. Of course, there are only about 73 total people there, so the chances of that are slim in this southeastern North Dakota town.
It sounds exactly what it looks like. The name does at least. We can't confirm there is actually a population there. It's been considered a ghost town for awhile. There's even a chance the town could be haunted by more than just its unfortunate name.
The name makes you instantly remember the scenes when Adam West's 'Batman' would slug a henchman in the face in those crazy fight scenes, as a literal sound effect would appear on the screen, "ZAP!" But yes, there is a city in North Dakota called Zap.
In fact, the city website calls it, "The little town with a big heart." There seem to be quite a few recreational activities in Zap, as it is located just west of Beulah, and an hour and 25 minutes northwest of Bismarck.
With a city name like that, I was hoping that the town was crawling with the cutest spikey looking creatures known as porcupines. However, this is not the case.
Porcupine is about an hour due south of Bismarck and has a population of less thank 150.
The literation is pretty obvious here. Dickey is in the southeastern corner of the state and is known for its hunting and fishing areas.
If you search the internet for it, you may also find results for R.A. Dickey of the Atlanta Braves or possibly Dickey's BBQ, which seems as though it may never open up in Mandan.
Flasher happens to be a part of the Bismarck-Mandan area within Morton County. A big event coming up for the town this summer is Summerfest 2017.
At the time of this post, we are unsure if there have been any cases of indecent exposure recorded in Flasher.
And there it is. Six of the stranger and/or more suggestive city or town names that you can find in North Dakota. How many more can you think of?

The word Lunaria is derived from the Latin luna meaning moon, an apt description for this old-fashioned beauty grown for its translucent leaf-like seeds underneath a removable skin making it a great dried flower. With either white or purple flowers, this is an excellent plant for shady moist areas and tolerant of a range of soil types. Being biennial its best sown in autumn for a spring flowering but can be sown anytime from spring until autumn.

La Voz de la Communidad!
Before 2003, the Latin American community in Toronto needed a forum, other than print media, to express its opinions, share its aspirations and voice its needs. Since it is a community that is still often described as 'significantly to extremely disadvantaged' according to levels of unemployment, education and poverty, the need for a platform to express issues, views and opinions was vital. Furthermore, for the community to integrate with the Canadian society, access to mass media was essential.
The pre-existing Spanish radio initiatives were significantly restricted by airtime. This compelled them to adopt a purely commercial character and thus fail to address the essential areas that a full-time grassroots community radio would cover; areas such as legal initiatives, political decisions, new laws, employment issues, social issues and immigration. In addition, while the airwaves were inundated with chart-busters, the magnificent pool of local Latin jazz, mambo, salsa, merengue, bolero bands and Andean musical talent went unnoticed.
In order to make the community's presence felt, Fr. Hernan Astudillo realized that it was crucial for Canada to hear their voices, and hence was born Radio Voces Latinas 1610AM, the first Spanish-speaking community radio station in Canada.


Do you remember where I left that Gorilla Pod yesterday? On that stupid wall!
I managed to use rocks to take some self-pictures. They're turned out OK.
Didn't you try to give it away a couple times at the boomershoot, too?
haha! That Gorilla Pod actually was not mine. I didn't realize it until I noticed the one that was "returned" to me still had its camera base – I had mine on my camera. I turned it in at the dinner and luckily someone claimed it the day of the Boomershoot.
I'm willing to bet if you called the hotel they'd ship it to you.
I'm still at the hotel. I was just not happy that I did not take it with me for the mini hike I went on; now posted.

Aux échecs, on appelle pièce à longue portée (on dit aussi pièce à marche longue) une pièce qui peut se déplacer dans une direction donnée d'autant de cases qu'elle souhaite tant qu'elle ne rencontre pas une autre pièce (qu'elle peut prendre si c'est une pièce de l'adversaire) et ne sort pas de l'échiquier.

Aux échecs traditionnels, il existe trois pièces à longue portée :
 le fou qui peut se déplacer en diagonale
 la tour qui peut se déplacer horizontalement et verticalement
 la dame qui combine le déplacement du fou et de la tour

Ces trois pièces sont plus efficaces dans une position ouverte, avec des colonnes ou diagonales ouvertes.

Comme parmi les pièces autres que le pion (et le roi), seul le cavalier est une pièce à marche courte, les problémistes ont très vite créé une pièce à longue portée prolongeant le déplacement d'un cavalier en ligne droite. Il s'agit du Noctambule ou Cavalier de la nuit. C'est l'une des deux pièces féeriques les plus utilisées dans les problèmes d'échecs féeriques.

Today's Photo of the Day is from a gorgeous snow filled wedding I photographed recently at Mohonk Mountain in New Paltz, NY. Nicole and Cory were a great couple and we captured some beautiful moments including some very cool photos in the snow. I wanted to share this one today, enjoy!
Beautiful frame. Looking forward to seeing those snow portraits!
Such a romantic photo, Daniel… especially with the snow. Love it!
great work Danny. your work is always so inspiring and fresh.
Really dig this photo, man. Can't wait to see the rest of the wedding!
This is one of those "money" shots. Great work, Daniel.
Photos with the snow are hard to handle. Well done!
Wow, pretty amazing work. I can see why you are winning awards.
Wats the romantic photo. Amazing! I like it.
Really so inspiring post. I'm so happy to visit such romantic photo..I hope you will present more romantic photos in future.
I never tire of looking at your work. I love the way you use your camera to create beautiful compositions.


Beginning again is never that easy, especially the older I get. But there are times in each of our lives when we are faced with a challenge that causes us to do just that, begin again. In my case, that meant making an extreme pivot from my life of relative simplicity centered on family and home, to redirecting my focus towards a brand new world of interesting and complex computer coding languages and web technology application development. Not as if these things haven't been essentially critical parts of my life already, the invisible digital world woven into the fabric of my daily work and play. Whether it was using GPS to navigate while driving part time for Uber and Lyft or shuffling tiles in an online puzzle game to pass the time with a friend, there was the ubiquitous, many-fingered hand of technology built by brilliant coding minds operating silently and steadily right behind the screen. Almost all of life's modern magic and marvel is created through carefully crafted, scripted code running algorithmic relays billions of times in the blink of an eye. I want to be a part of that magic-making, to bend the web to my will, and create beautiful tools for people to use.
In a former life, I managed the programming and operations of an inner-city greenspace including a community garden, an urban farm, and a barnyard livestock menagerie. Though a relatively easygoing gig with minimal direct supervision and lots of opportunities for daily inspiration, many of the amazing, little stories that were happening in each moment of every hour of every day got lost in the sauce, dwarfed by the immensity of maintenance and upkeep responsibilities inherent in keeping a complex, dynamic organizational ecosystem going. So much of my job was defined by the necessity of quantifying impact for business-minded leaders, corporate funders, and other assorted community stakeholders. At times, the business of record-keeping, data collection and analysis, made what should have been an ideal working situation, downright tedious to say the least. Sometimes it was almost defeating to have to scramble to translate the long hours of blood, sweat, and tears shed out in the field to a bunch of people in suits who spent their days in air conditioned offices. And then there was that other ongoing tension caused by having on one hand, a necessity for outreach, needing to bring folks into our space, while on the other hand having limited ability to reach out and touch folks digitally. I believe that in any problem lies opportunity, if we only can ask the right questions. How do we utilize web-based technology and mobile applications to ease the burden of data collection and analysis, information sharing and storytelling, and outreach for the many people doing good grassroots work out in the community? And that question, folks, is what led me here to this new beginning, because according to how I look at things, it's never too late.


Peter's Birthday is the second episode of the first season of the TV series and second episode of the full series overall.
Wendy, Michael, John and Tiger Lily want to give Peter Pan the best surprise birthday he can have and to make him realize that growing up is not all that bad.
When they make up a story about a treasure on top of a high hill just to keep his surprise party a secret, Captain Hook's pirates overhear them and are intent on getting to the so called treasure before Peter.
Tinkerbell, meanwhile suspects that Wendy wants to get rid of Peter by poisoning him. She tries to let Peter know but to no avail!
A battle between Peter and Hook soon ensues and in the ruckus, Wendy's party for Peter is ruined and Peter discovers he went through all that trouble of finding a rock which wasn't even real treasure.
Peter is thankful to everyone for planning the party but is adamant that he wants to be the boy who never grows up!


Seattle - Just in time for the frenzy that surrounds the Super Bowl, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and Consumer Product Safety Commission investigators seized two containers filled with lead-contaminated toys at the Seattle waterfront.
NFL Team Cleatus Action Figures seized in Seattle.
The 2,932 cartons, containing 17,592 NFL Team Cleatus Robot Action Figures, were seized January 12 for containing six times the allowable amount of lead.
The toys are valued at more than $96,000; they originated in China, and were destined to a distributor in the Seattle area. Customs and Border Protection targeted the toys for an intensive examination.
Consumer Product Safety Commission staff tested the samples and found the toys contained unacceptable levels of lead in violation of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. Laboratory analysis found the toys contained 1800 parts per million of lead; the acceptable level is 300 ppm.
"While our priority mission is to prevent terrorists and their weapons from entering the country, we are also responsible for keeping a wide variety of harmful products from reaching the American marketplace," said U.S. Customs and Border Protection Area Port Director Roland Suliveras Jr. "Lead-contaminated toys are one such product."
Customs and Border Protection partners with CPSC to prevent hazardous or harmful products from entering U.S. ports and reaching American consumers. In fiscal year 2009, at ports of entry across the country CBP, in coordination with CPSC, seized multiple shipments of lead-contaminated toys with an estimated domestic value of more than a million dollars.
