Implementing specific breadcrumb requirements for news-like taxonomy terms

I'm trying to implement a breadcrumb policy like the one you can see on the News section of this site: http://jqi.umd.edu/news . These requirements are listed below. The notation "[Foo]" with brackets indicates that the text "Foo" must be hyperlinked.

1. Nodes of a content type "News Item" can be tagged with one or more terms in a "News Categories" vocabulary.

2. When viewing the News section (http://jqi.umd.edu/news in this example), the breadcrumb trail should be "[Home] > [News]".

3. When viewing the term page for a news category, the breadcumb should be "[Home] > [News] > [<category>]". For example, http://jqi.umd.edu/news/research-news should have the breadcrumb trail "[Home] > [News] > [Research News]".

4. When viewing a node, the breadcrumb should be "[Home] > [News]", i.e. the news category/categories of the news item node should *not* be in the breadcrumb. Here's an example: http://jqi.umd.edu/news/stirring-atomtronics-quantum-circuit

I've been experimenting with the combinatorial explosion of configuration options for custom_breadcrumbs, and I can get close to what I want, but not quite all the way there -- one or more of the requirements are not satisfied.

Is it possible to achieve this?

Thanks!
